MT. POLLEY DISASTER PUTS FOCUS ON AJAX By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Shuswap First Nations are calling for a moratorium on mine development in the wake of the Mount Polley disaster, demanding new accountability from industry and government. Leaders gathered at a inland salmon-fisheries storefront at Mount Paul Industrial Park in Kamloops on Tuesday, Aug. 5, to condemn the tailings-dam breach and catastrophic effect on the Quesnel and Fraser river systems in the Cariboo. “Ajax will face a lot of challenges,” Tk’emlups Indian Band Chief Shane Gottfriedson said of the proposed open-pit copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen. “When you look at the Mount Polley disaster, I guarantee it will have an impact on our people’s decision whether they support mining or not.” KGHM Ajax is seeking environmental approvals for its proposed mine.

Tribune in favour of a traditional tailings pond and dam that will cover Goose Lake. A company official said it is in the midst of the design, but noted it will differ fundamentally from the dam at Mount Polley. “Tailings facilities — if properly designed, constructed and maintained — don’t fail,” Clyde Gillespie, Ajax’s manager of project development, told KTW, comparing it to the process of bridge building. Gillespie said the company purposefully chose the best design possible to store tailings, waste material from the milling process that includes pulverized rock, water and elements typically in a slurry. He said it differs from Mount Polley’s construction. “Our embankment is rock on top of rock,” Gillespie said. X See MAYBE A11

Likely residents fearing the worst By Sage Birchwater
WILLIAMS LAKE TRIBUNE editor@wltribune.com
A pall of uncertainty hangs over the town of Likely as a total breach in the Mount Polley mine tailings pond continues to pour a slurry of toxic water and mud into Quesnel Lake, once renowned for being the cleanest deep water lake in the world. In the early hours of Monday, Aug. 4, the four-kilometre-long dam containing the tailings pond of the copper and gold mine burst, sending millions of tons of contaminated water, mud and mining slurry into the salmon-bearing water system. Surpentine Creek, previously a stream two metres wide, is now a wasteland 50 metres across, after five-million cubic metres of effluent flooded into nearby Polley Lake and carved its own canyon
several kilometres in length to Quesnel Lake. Eyewitnesses to the devastation, Stan and Rosanne Siemens of Quesnel, were boating on the East Arm of Quesnel Lake. When they turned the corner on their way back to Likely — a town 66 kilometres northeast of Williams Lake — they could hardly believe their eyes. Two kilometres down the lake, a floating mass of twisted trees stretched half way across the waterway. “It’s rude up there,” Stan Siemens said. “Halfway across the lake, trees were sticking straight up. I’m a logger and it would take us a year to take that many trees down — and this happened in 20 minutes.” Rosanne Siemens said the land is destroyed. “Raft Creek is a river now,” she said.
“It’s all mud.” A toxic plume continues to build in the lake and move down the outflow into the Quesnel River at Likely. By Tuesday, the water advisory for Likely had been expanded for the whole Quesnel River system to the City of Quesnel on the Fraser River. Robin Hood, president of the Likely Chamber of Commerce, was grim as his wife, Darlene, handed out water-advisory notices to people vacationing on the shore of the river. “The whole economy of this town [Likely] is dependent on the mine and tourism,” Hood said. “Now we might have lost both overnight.” Sitting in the shade on the porch of Likely’s general store, 28-year-old Kalvin King was checking the Internet on his phone.

Skull found in rural area that of missing woman Samantha Paul was last seen in September 2013; police say foul play not yet ruled out By Tim Petruk
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
DNA testing has determined a lone skull found east of Kamloops in June is that of a woman missing since last fall.. Samantha Paul, 26, was last seen on Sept. 19, 2013.
After she went missing, Kamloops Mounties described her lifestyle as “vulnerable.” RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said investigators are working to determine how Paul died. “The investigation is progressing and, at this time, there is nothing
to indicate foul play; however it also has not been ruled out,” she said. The skull was found on June 1 near White Lake in the Barnhartvale area. Bush said detectives are combing the area where the discovery was made in hopes of
turning up more evidence. “They’re doing a very extensive ground search,” she said. “The next step will be determined once that’s done.” Bush wouldn’t comment on whether it’s unusual for investigators to find a skull by
itself, with no other remains nearby. “Because we don’t know the circumstances, we don’t know if it’s unusual or not,” she said, noting scavenging animals could have played a role in the skull’s location. White Lake is located just south of
Campbell Lake, off Campbell Range Road south of Barnhartvale and east of Shumway Lake. Bush asked anyone with information about Paul’s disappearance and death to contact police at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Gas leak forces evacuations in downtown core By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
When an excavator working at the intersection of First Avenue and Victoria Street hit a gas line on Tuesday, Aug. 5, evacuation orders were given to businesses in the 100-block of Victoria — including city hall. Andrea Klassen/KTW
A natural-gas leak in downtown Kamloops that resulted in multiple evacuations — including city hall — and halted rail traffic through the city centre has been repaired. Emergency crews were called to First Avenue and Victoria Street at about 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 5, after an excavator hit a gas line. The area impacted is where crews have been working to realign the intersection at Victoria, First and Lansdowne and Lorne streets for a number of weeks. That alignment is expected to be completed this week. Kamloops Fire Rescue (KFR) assistant chief Dan Sutherland told KTW a four-inch gas line was struck. Jen Fretz, public works director for the City of Kamloops, said a city contractor was working on landscaping related to the project and struck the gas main on the north side of the Brownstone restaurant building, located across the street from city hall. The leak shut down business on the 100 block of Victoria, as
KFR and Kamloops RCMP evacuated everyone within a 200-metre radius of the leak. At the Ploughman’s Lunch and Coffee, Marjorie Hamilton said she had just finished preparations for the lunch rush when several passersby came in, complaining of the smell of gas. “A young woman came in and she was feeling so sick she was seeing spots in front of her eyes,” Hamilton said. Multiple downtown streets were blocked off as a precaution, with a radius stretching from Lorne Street to Seymour Street and from First Avenue to Third Avenue. The gas leak was capped just after 1 p.m. A portion of Lansdowne Street that was partially torn up in an effort to shut off the gas will be patched with gravel, with paving to come at a later date. Fretz said the contractor who hit the gas line will be responsible for covering the costs of the mistake, per its contract with the city. The city has also asked the contractor for an incident investigation into the leak, which Fretz said should be completed in the next few days.

Finder of patient files sought Health minister calls privacy breach ‘unfortunate’ By Dale Bass

The province’s health minister is hoping the person who dropped off patient files at Royal Inland Hospital will call. Terry Lake, B.C.’s health minister and MLA for KamloopsNorth Thompson, said it would help answer remaining questions about where 1,628 patient files have been since sometime last year, when a filing cabinet containing the files at the hospital was donated. Lake said when the two boxes were dropped off at the hospital in June, staff were busy and failed to get identification from the person. Since then, registered letters have gone out to the patients, advising them of what Lake called an “unfortunate breach of their privacy.” Although the letters advise people they should check their credit information and perhaps advise credit-rating companies to flag their
accounts, Lake said he’s confident no identity theft could arise from the breach. The files contained no names, no addresses and no phone numbers, but did include healthcare card numbers and relevant medical information. For example, one woman who spoke with KTW said her letter referred to a test she had done several years ago. Lake said his ministry ensures every precaution is taken to protect medical information, but acknowledged breaches can happen either by accident, as in the RIH situation, or by more “nefarious methods,” as happened in Chilliwack,

MINE OPPONENTS WANT LAKE TO JUMP INTO DISCUSSION
MLA replies: ‘I’m not going to continue to meet and have the same conversation over and over again.’ By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
“Terry Lake, lend us your ear!” was the chant from Kamloops Area Preservation Association (KAPA) members outside the Kamloops-North Thompson MLA’s office on Wednesday, August 6. About 60 people, composed of members of the anti-Ajax mine group and North Shore constituents, picketed Lake’s office over what they said was an unwillingness to meet with KAPA until the mine’s environmental assessment is completed in 2015. Organizer Anne Neave said the group asked to meet en masse with Lake last month, but was told Lake will not discuss the proposed
mine until Ajax proponent KGHM has filed an application for environmental review. “We’ve said we’ll come in as a small group, you can meet us as a big group, you can meet us as a single person — but, no. Nothing. Shut down. There was no access,” Neave said. Lake said he met with a representative of KAPA, secretary Fawn Knox, within the past few months and doesn’t think there is anything new to discuss with the association since that meeting. “I’m not going to continue to meet and have the same conversation over and over again,” Lake said. “I am following the issue and I am following their concerns they’ve
expressed — and I’m confident in the process that’s in front of us.” Neave and others within KAPA feel there is still more talking to be done about the proposed project south of Aberdeen. “There are issues that need to be discussed now that can’t wait,” Neave said, citing concerns the group has over Ajax’s environmental assessment and the mine’s planned tailings pond in the wake of a toxic breach at Mt. Polley mine near the town of Likely. Claudette Kelly, a retired nurse-educator with health impact assessment training, said she wants to speak to Lake about expanding the scope of the health studies for Ajax to
include more criteria and manpower. “We think it should be uppermost in his job description to put health back into health,” Kelly said, referencing Lake’s minister of health portfolio. Neave said the group also wants changes to the Mineral Tenure Act that would add more public consultation to the early stages of the minedevelopment process, and for Lake to echo a call from Kamloops city council for another public-comment period on the mine. Lake said he doesn’t see the value in having another formal commenting period on the mine at this time, when Ajax’s application isn’t complete. Other issues the group is raising have
already been discussed with Lake by KAPA representatives. “I guess they don’t like my answer, which is the process is ongoing,” he said. “I’ve engaged on this many times. My answer is always the same — that I don’t have
concerns about the mine’s environmental process with her Liberal colleagues. KAPA is in talks to meet with KamloopsSouth Thompson MLA and Transportation Minister Todd Stone in the fall.

Loaded handgun at powwow leads to arrest By Tim Petruk
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Vancouver man who had a loaded handgun at last weekend’s Kamloopa Powwow has been granted bail. Thomas Becker-Brown was released on $2,000 cash bail after a brief hearing in Kamloops provincial court on Wednesday, Aug. 6.
Court heard powwow security alerted police to a potential fight brewing between two groups on Sunday, Aug. 3. Crown prosecutor Evan Goulet said the brawl was supposed to take place near the Petro-Canada gas station on East Shuswap Road. A short time later, Kamloops RCMP approached a group of three men walking toward the gas station, court heard.
One of those men was BeckerBrown, who had a backpack spun over his shoulder. When Becker-Brown allowed a constable to look inside the bag, Goulet said, the officer found a loaded handgun wrapped in a towel. Becker-Brown was then taken into custody. Following his arrest, Goulet said, Becker-Brown admitted to police he knew there was a handgun in
the bag, which he claimed to have found on powwow grounds. Goulet said Becker-Brown claimed he did not know the firearm was loaded. Court heard Becker-Brown was bound by a peace bond, issued less than two weeks earlier in Vancouver, that barred him from possessing weapons. Becker-Brown, who lives on the Musqueam Indian Reserve in
Vancouver and works as a fisherman, will be bound by a 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew on bail and is prohibited from possessing any weapons or using drugs or alcohol. He is due back in court on Aug. 18. A security guard who was involved in the incident told KTW he believed the two groups represented the Redd Alert and Kelowna Warrriors gangs.
Accused poacher’s trial to resume in December By Tim Petruk
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops hunter facing a dozen federal poaching charges alleging he crossed the border from B.C. into the Yukon in 1999 to kill his nearrecord-setting Dall sheep won’t be back in court until December. Lawyers met last week to set a date for the continuation of Abe Dougan’s trial in Kamloops provincial court. The trial ran for three days last December and five more last month. It’s slated to resume during the week of Dec. 8. Dougan, a Kamloopsbased hunter who also runs a guide business, is in the B.C. big-game
record book for his 1999 Dall sheep kill, as it has been deemed the secondlargest recorded in B.C. He claimed the animal was shot in a remote portion of northwestern B.C. — a location in which Dougan was licensed to hunt sheep in 1999. In 2011, Yukon conservation officials received a confidential tip suggesting they compare the background of the picture of Dougan in the B.C. record book to mountains in the southern Yukon. Court heard a mapping specialist with the Yukon government created a three-dimensional model of the territory’s mountains and found an area that appeared to

Chamber past-president eyes council seat By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
A former Kamloops Chamber of Commerce president is joining the race for city council. Bob Dieno, who served as the chamber’s president in 2013, is hoping to bring his experience as a business owner and his enthusiasm for politics to the role. “I think they need some fresh blood on city council and I have some experience, not on council, but dealing with city staff and provincial and politics through the chamber,” he told KTW. “I have a level head, a good, kind of down-themiddle attitude of things and I can bring some business experience to the table as well.” Dieno, who owns Nutech Fire and Safety, said the chamber’s political lobbying efforts were a passion of his during his time as president. “It’s the behind-thescenes stuff that’s the most fascinating, where you dig into an issue and it’s amazing what you find out, you learn and you can grow from,” Dieno said. The North Shore resident and father of two wants to focus on fiscal
responsibility. “One of the things lacking on council right now, I think, is they don’t always look at things in a business manner, and I would really like to bring that to the table,” he said. Dieno said the city needs to improve its tax rates for businesses, streamline permitting processes and support other means of job creation so it can reduce its reliance on residential taxes. “Businesses pay almost three times what homeowners pay and, if we can get more businesses coming in and paying taxes, then homeowners don’t have to have large tax bills,” he said. On the social side, Dieno wants to see a greater focus on water conservation, mainly centred around public education, and an improved sense of safety and security for residents. “I walk downtown on Thursday night at seven at night and, unfortunately, I don’t even feel safe,” he said. “So, I don’t know exactly what to do about it. But, I would like to start the talk about what we can do about it.” Dieno said the issue
of people down there because I think people don’t find it a comfortable spot to be.” While he’s not sure what efforts should be taken to make the downtown more comfortable, Dieno said they should involve supporting the homeless, not just moving them along. Already in the hunt for one of the city’s eight council seats are Dieter Dudy and Peter Kerek, as well as incumbent councillors Donovan Cavers, Arjun Singh, Tina Lange, Ken Christian, Marg Spina, Pat Wallace and Nelly Dever.

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire — and where there is a smoky sky, like the Tournament Capital is seeing this week, there is an advisory issued. The Ministry of Environment issued a smoky-skies advisory on Wednesday, Aug. 6, as the Thompson Valley became enveloped in a hazy cover. The advisory covers the Thompson, Fraser Canyon, Okanagan, Similkameen, Nicola, Boundary and Shuswap areas. Officials caution against strenuous outdoor activities given the conditions, which will vary widely throughout the affected regions. People with heart or lung conditions are urged to reduce their exposure to smoke. In addition, anyone who has trouble breathing because of the smoke is urged to contact a doctor. The advisory will stay in effect until further notice. The haze over Kamloops is courtesy of forest fires in the U.S. to the south and in the Prince George area to the north.

Summertime — and the drinking in B.C. is easy
T
HE B.C. GOVERNMENT’S move to ease liquor restrictions is undergoing its hot summer test — and music festivals are only part of it. Premier Christy Clark’s government loves its populist gestures and, as with increasing rural highway speed limits, the negative effects have yet to be quantified. Free-range drinking, or removing fences from festival beer gardens, is one of the moves that will be undergoing a post-mortem as communities clean up after their big summer parties. One of the biggest, the Squamish Valley Music Festival with headline acts Arcade Fire, Bruno Mars and Eminem, is still to come, Aug. 8 to Aug. 10. Country fans gathered over the long weekend for Sunfest in the Cowichan Valley, with the Rockin’ River Musicfest in Mission coming up next. (Another big bash next weekend is Shambhala, the popular electronic music event on a farm near Nelson, but alcohol is officially banned there and their big issue is controlling the effects of ecstasy and other rave drugs.) Early reviews of free-range festivals have been positive. Victoria’s Rock the Shores event went smoothly without a fenced-in area for alcohol sales. Festival organizers did create a fenced “dry” area, but I’m told hardly anyone used it. Penticton has had its share of experience with summer bashes gone bad.
TOM FLETCHER Our Man In VICTORIA For the B.C. Day long weekend, it inherited the Boonstock Music and Arts festival, sent packing from a small community in Alberta after complaints of rowdy crowds and crime, so Penticton officials were understandably cautious. Boonstock organizers were refused a provincial liquor licence after struggling to arrange security and emergency services. The festivallicence process is likely getting renewed attention these days. After attending the recent Calgary Folk Festival, where the beer garden was securely fenced and the capacity monitored, I’m wondering what is really achieved by these measures. Litter and empties were contained but, since under-aged festival visitors are allowed into the serving area, it’s not clear to me whether the fence was ever worth the effort. It’s unlikely there will be riots at farm markets as a result of allowing sales of locally made beer, wine and spirits, or from relaxing rules for operation of winery tasting rooms. But, there are more reforms to
come in the months ahead. New regulations are on the way for the Agricultural Land Reserve. As it stands, farms are allowed to have a winery or cidery, but not a brewery or distillery. Expect that to change as B.C. and other provinces strive to develop their craft beer and spirits industry, trying to emulate the tourism benefits that have come from an expanding wine industry. One area where the B.C. government has screwed up is its minimumpricing rules, introduced along with the overdue move to allow happyhour discounts in pubs. The minimum price of 25 cents an ounce for beer, 60 cents an ounce for wine and $3 an ounce for hard liquor was an effort to balance business-friendly policy with legitimate public-health concern about overconsumption. However, the minimum beer price prompted protests from a few watering holes that had been selling pints or jugs of beer for slightly less. Some media made a big deal of this and the government over-reacted to this tempest in a beer stein with an illthought-out cut in the minimum price to 20 cents an ounce — for beer in jugs only. The pub industry was not impressed with this bit of knee-jerk populism. Encouraging beer-jug sales makes it difficult to see if someone at a table of revelers is being over-served and drinking most of the jug himself. tfletcher@blackpress.ca
How many warnings until action is taken? Any time anybody in any industry proclaims that something cannot happen or likely will not happen, we need to simply recall the tale of the Titanic. The “unsinkable” ship did, of course, sink — and on its maiden voyage. Bryan Kynoch is president of Imperial Metals, owner of the Mt. Polley mine in the Cariboo that saw its tailings pond fail, sending untold millions of litres of contaminated water into streams, rivers and lakes. While apologizing for the environmental disaster, Kynoch told reporters: “If you asked me two weeks ago if this could have happened, I would have said it couldn’t.” Well, it did. And, based on the fact the Ministry of Environment said it warned Imperial Metals repeatedly about its tailings-pond levels, with the latest of five warnings coming in May. The questions are many and answers will likely be long in coming, but there are two crucial queries that need to be directed at the company and at the provincial government. If there were five warnings about the tailings pond, why had the company seemingly not done anything to prevent the disastrous spill that occurred this week. And, after how many warnings does the Ministry of Environment and the Premier Christy Clark’s government stop issuing warnings and take action — such as shutting down an operation completely until it fixes whatever it was that prompted serial warnings. The review process, such as it is, appears to be as messy as the disaster’s aftermath.

Mount Polley tailings-pond disaster ‘inexcusable’ Editor: The Mount Polley mine tailings-pond environmental disaster will likely create a flood of letters to Kamloops This Week, a flood consisting of pro- and anti-Ajax mine opinions. Social-media sites are already inundated with heartbreaking footage of the nightmare in the Cariboo. Here’s the thing: We all want the same outcome, a sweet way of life for ourself and our families. It’s just that some of us are on the wrong side of a surging tide in our planet’s history. The people who oppose the proposed Ajax mine south of Aberdeen in Kamloops also want healthy economic growth and sustainable job creation. Those in favour of the proposed mine also want access to clean drinking water, breathable air and children who don’t develop lung diseases and cancer. The former are on the right side of history. Their goal can be achieved. The latter? Humanity is at a critical turning
point and we must use our big brains, our ingenuity and cleverness, to change the way we interact with nature. People are part of ecosystems. We can’t survive if we poison our own environment. This isn’t up for debate anymore. Only the truly stubborn and narrowminded can continue to think that using oil and its derivatives, cutting down the rainforest, acidifying and polluting the ocean and perpetuating climate change are practices that should continue for monetary gain. Look at the water situation in the Cariboo after this disaster. The environment trumps money every single time. End of story. For those of you who disagree, here are some historical precedents of the camp in which you have chosen to reside: You’re with the Flat Earth people who wouldn’t believe Aristotle. You are buddies with the Catholics who persecuted Galileo for proving the Earth wasn’t the centre of the uni-
verse. The scoffers who said that flying machines would never work? Yeah, that’s you. You’re with men who didn’t want women to vote. You’re with whites who insisted on segregation and apartheid. The pollution of our planet has now reached the point of no return. We are going to suffer climate change and acidified oceans no matter what. Horrifying disasters like Mount Polley are inexcusable in a day and age when we should all know better. Living closer to the land, changing our way of life to one more in harmony with nature — we’re going to do it because we have to. More enlightened countries like Norway and Denmark are already way ahead of us. The leader of our country is on the wrong side of history. It’s time for a revolution. Katie Welch Kamloops
Premier Clark is correct in defending Israel World Cup Editor: In her column of July 1 in which she criticized Premier Christy Clark for expressing her support for Israel for bombing schools in the Gaza Strip (‘The premier’s job does not include Israel-Gaza conflict’), KTW’s Dale Bass neglected to mention a few facts. Israel is not at war with Palestine. It’s at war with Hamas, an internationally recognized terrorist organization that has vowed
to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. Hamas fires rockets into Israel from launchers hidden in schools, hospitals and other public sites, using Palestinians as human shields. Israel has no choice but to target these sites in order to protect its citizens from terrorist attacks. In addition, bombing is the only way for Israel to destroy numerous tunnels that Hamas has built under the border and which it uses to launch attacks against
Israeli citizens and military. The loss of Palestinian lives in this conflict is a tragedy. Hamas is the one putting innocent citizens in danger in its stated goal of annihilating Israel. It is not striving for peace. I think Clark spoke for a lot of British Columbians when she said Israel has a right to protect its citizens against terrorist attacks. Gerry Paull Kamloops
Council so slow on wine, so fast on $6m project Editor: Re: Kamloops city council’s delaying tactics on allowing wine/ beer sales at the local farmers’ market. It seems strange council is being so careful with this relatively straightforward bylaw. Council seemed to have no problem spending about $6 million of taxpayer money on the changes to Lorne Street and First Avenue, primarily to accommodate a new hotel — without any delays and any input from taxpayers.

bid is bad
Editor: So, the Canadian Soccer Association may entertain a bid for the men’s World Cup. Seems that, like most mega-events (Olympics, etc.) the host country (taxpayers) carries all the risks for little return on investment. I would be more inclined to see increased funding for amateur sport in the country. It is hard to justify the billions of dollars spent on these fourweek parties when we have crumbling infrastructure across the country that urgently need funding. R. Baker Kamloops

‘MAYBE OUR CREATOR IS TELLING US SOMETHING . . .’ X From A1
“In some designs you can build on a tailings beach . . . It’s not as strong or vigorous.” Unlike Mount Polley, Ajax’s proposed design will not use dry tailings to form part of the dam. The Tk’emlups Indian Band is in discussions with KGHM Ajax on proposed benefits. Once those discussions are complete, the band will hold a series of general meetings culminating in a referendum. Gottfriedson said the environmental disaster in the Cariboo may change the way his people view mining in the future. The vote, coupled with a Supreme Court of Canada ruling last month on aboriginal title, gives First Nations a powerful say — a near-veto — on resource development. “This is why we haven’t signed an agreement on Ajax . . . Maybe our ancestors and the Creator are telling us something here with this Mount Polley disaster,” Gottfriedson said. “Maybe it’s time we take a different approach.” Gottfriedson said governments and industry have paid only lip service to First Nations consultation. The latest example, he said, is the federal government decision to allow the province of B.C. to do all environmental review of the proposed Ruddock Creek underground mine near Avola in the North Thompson Valley. First Nations opposed that transferring of environmental oversight. “The whole process is flawed,” Gottfriedson said. “ There needs to be a moratorium on exploration by mining companies.”
Opponents of the proposed Ajax mine in Kamloops said the disaster that unfolded on Monday morning at the Cariboo mine also shows industry promises mean nothing and government has no real oversight. Critics noted the same firm that designed Mount Polley’s tailings dam is doing engineering for Ajax. John Scheiermacher, a director of the Kamloops Area Preservation Association, said the Mount Polley disaster proves promises of “can’t break” are worthless — particularly when government has no oversight or staff to monitor mines. “With the rainstorm we just had, can you imagine if it breaches, goes into Peterson Creek and the city?” Scheiermacher said the impact of a breach at Ajax would be far greater because of the size of the population in Kamloops and scale of the mine itself, which will be three times larger than Mount Polley. “Even a project that has gone through a supposed rigorous assessment has failed us,” he said. “There’s only 300 people in Likely. Look at the impact.” There are already several tailings facilities in the Kamloops region, including at New Afton and Highland Valley Copper mines. A spokeswoman at New Afton’s parent company New Gold declined an interview. At Highland Valley Copper, there are several tailings-impoundment areas from decades of mining on the plateau. Peter Martell, the mine’s superintendent of environment and community affairs, said the latest development at Highland Valley is a tailings review board, instituted in 2012. It is comprised of independent geotechni-
cal and hydrogeological experts who meet several times a year to review ongoing tailings-dam development. There is also a third-party engineering firm on site at all times and the mine employs a dam safety officer. “We’d certainly like to know the root cause [at Mount Polley],” Martell said. “You certainly want to learn what’s happened elsewhere so it can’t happen here.” Ajax’s Gillespie said the firm will continue working on its design and will incorporate any changes in wake of the Mount Polley disaster. “We’ve selected it [downstream construction] so we can ensure this type of accident doesn’t happen in Kamloops.” Terry Lake, minister of health, KamloopsNorth Thompson MLA and former minister of environment, said answers must be found before conclusions are reached. “First of all, we have to understand what caused this particular breach. Was it something that could have been prevented? Was it something foreseeable? Or was it something totally unexpected, unpredictable, that could not have been prevented?” Lake said. “Until we know the answer to that, we don’t want to leap to a conclusion.” Lake believes Ajax’s tailings engineering will undergo a “rigorous” assessment, noting it is too early to determine if government’s mining oversight failed. “I think if, at the end of the day, there is a gap, we will need to fill that gap. “But, it’s way too early in the investigation process to know if that’s the case or not.”

Mine tailings spill raises fears for Fraser salmon By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS jnagel@blackpress.ca
An estimated 1.5million migrating Fraser River sockeye salmon are destined for Quesnel Lake, which has now been contaminated by the Mount Polley mine tailings-pond spill. The Quesnel system sockeye make up a major portion of what is hoped to be a record run this year, said Craig Orr, executive director of the Watershed Watch Salmon Society. “This is one of the greatest environmental disasters we’ve had on the Fraser,” Orr said. “Some of the effluent will be getting in the Fraser.
“The big question is how concentrated, how harmful it will be. “Some of these compounds have short-term impacts and some have much longer-term impacts.” While the Quesnel Lake stocks are among the Fraser’s most abundant, Orr is particularly concerned much weaker stocks that spawn in other tributaries of the Fraser could be harmed. “People have to be concerned about not just what it means for the returning fish, but for the juveniles rearing in the lake right now,” he said. “We don’t know if it’s going to accumulate in their bodies or
potentially affect their olfactions, their ability to find their home waters.” Resident fish at risk include threatened bull trout and plentiful rainbow trout. At a news conference in Likely, Imperial Metals president Brian Kynoch said the water in the pond is tested with rainbow trout, noting its arsenic level is one-fifth the limit for drinking water. He described the effluent as “relatively benign.” The huge spill of tailings and water tore down Hazeltine Creek, which is where endangered Interior coho salmon are supposed to spawn in
a few weeks. Gord Sterritt, executive director of the Upper Fraser Fisheries Conservation Alliance, said the group, which represents 23 First Nations from Williams Lake to the Fraser’s headwaters, had already raised concerns that planned releases of effluent into the creek by mine operator Imperial Metals might harm the coho. Chinook salmon also spawn near the outlet of Quesnel Lake at the Quesnel River. “Those fish will be holding or just about to enter the spawning grounds pretty quick,” Sterritt said. “We’re pretty concerned about what the
threat to fish is from the silt, which he said is settling rapidly. Sto:lo fishery advisor Ernie Crey said there remains widespread concern in aboriginal communities. “Eventually, this stuff will wend its way into the Fraser,” he said. Orr noted the spill came just three days after provincial government approval of the new KSM gold mine near the headwaters of the Nass River. The KSM project, near the Alaska border at Stewart, includes tunnels to carry ore 23 kilometres away for processing and shipping, to satisfy Alaska’s concerns about fisheries and tourism.
toxic elements are going to do to those fish. “And then there’s the scouring of the debris pile that is potentially going to be moving down the lake and into the river.” Contamination that reaches the mainstem Fraser could affect fish spawning hundreds of kilometres away, such as in Stuart Lake near Fort St. James.

Philanthropist Guy Mercier (right) with Dr. Anders Ganstal, Royal Inland Hospital’s ER director.
HAVING MERCIER ON THE ER
By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Guy Mercier had always wanted to give back to Royal Inland Hospital (RIH). He just wasn’t sure how he was going to do it. A trip to the emergency room one evening changed that, for it was during a stint as a patient at the hospital that the Kamloops resident found the initiative he wanted to support. Mercier, a longtime Kamloops philanthropist and former owner of the construction company Acres Enterprises, donated $130,000 to RIH in July. The money will be used to upgrade the hospital’s two trauma bays, facilitating the installation of overhead articulating booms. “One evening I ended up in the emergency
room and was astounded with the work of the emergency department,” Mercier said. “I recognized the ER was an integral component to the hospital, but experiencing it all firsthand was inspiring and motivated me to give back to RIH. “I wanted a specific project that would make a difference. When I learned of the need for the booms in the ER, this was the project.” The booms will allow the hospital to mount all of its medical equipment above ground, improving the functionality of the space during emergency situations. Right now, equipment and machines are wheeled into the space as needed. Each boom will cost about $70,000. Mercier’s donation will cover the costs of purchasing the booms, while another $100,000
raised from the community will be used to strengthen the ceilings and install the devices. “We’re really bringing our trauma room up to the 21st century,” said Heidi Coleman, CEO of the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation. “He [Mercier] has just got a very big heart. He came forward and said, ‘I’d really like to do something.’” Construction hasn’t begun yet, but Coleman hopes both trauma rooms will be updated within the next three to six months. RIH’s trauma team has looked at booms in Vernon and Kelowna and will work with the company supplying the devices to develop a custom system that will work in Kamloops. It’s not the first time Mercier has donated money to the hospital as Coleman noted he has
also given funds to the facility’s cancer centre. In 2013, Mercier donated about $250,000 to Thompson Rivers
University. The funds were for student endowments and to help with renovations in the Old Main Building.

SUCRO PUNCH Jared Sucro of the Kamloops RiverDogs slaps one down the first-base line at the Mosquito AAA Provincial Championship on Saturday, Aug. 2. The RiverDogs were unable to reach the playoffs at the championship, which wrapped up on Sunday, Aug. 3, on McArthur Island. Abbotsford beat Ladner 6-4 to claim the 11-and-under tournament title. Kamloops suffered three round-robin losses — 9-2 to Ladner, 5-2 to Chilliwack and 12-11 to Nanaimo — and posted one victory, beating Richmond 6-1. Earning game MVP awards for the RiverDogs were Austin Coyle, Matt Coxon, Nate Underhill and Keegan Pittendreigh. Chilliwack blanked Cloverdale 1-0 to win bronze.

Timewell sets world record at Ultraman race By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

ITH ABOUT 20 KILOMETRES TO GO, AND WITH A WORLD-RECORD TIME ON THE LINE, YVONNE TIMEWELL SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED CALLING IT QUITS. It was the final day of the longest race of her career — the 514.5-kilometre Ultraman Canada triathlon — and a combination of exhaustion and stomach issues nearly derailed the Kamloops athlete’s race. “I was running as hard as I could, but it wasn’t until, I think, one kilometre left that I knew I could do it,” Timewell told KTW on Tuesday, Aug. 5, the day after the race’s final leg. She persevered and finished the race in 25:24:32 — a world record in the 40- to 49-year-old women’s category. The first Ultraman event was held in Hawaii in 1983. “I was so, so close to cracking and just stopping because I just couldn’t do

The final leg was an 84.3-kilometre doublemarathon run from Princeton to Summerland. Timewell rewrote the history books in 2014, setting course records with her day-one bike (4:44:05), her day-two bike (9:03:38) and her total race time (25:24:32). The previous record time, 25:36:49, had stood since 1999. The Kamloops racer completed the triathlon third and was the first female racer to cross the finish line. “It feels good,” Timewell said. “I’m almost relieved it’s done. That feeling of all that hard work for the last eight months, it’s done. “But now it’s like, what do I do with this time?” Timewell’s weekend came down to the race’s final moments — she would finish just eight minutes ahead of American Amy Van Tassel, despite entering the final leg boasting a 27-minute lead. Maurice Maher, Timewell’s coach, said it’s unheard of for two racers to finish so close together, while setting record paces, in an ultra-endurance event.

Forward Jake Kryski and defenceman Dawson Davidson, both 16, were among the players vying for spots on three Canadian teams that will participate at the Under-17 World Challenge in Sarnia in November. The rosters will be announced in October. Kryski recorded 48 points in 37 games playing last season for the Okanagan Rockets in the B.C. Major Midget League. Davidson was the top-

Tim O’Donovan, the Blazers’ director of hockey and media administration, was also in Calgary, handling video-coach duties. Meanwhile, 15-year-old Blazers’ prospects Nolan Kneen and Conner McDonald are among the eight defencemen shortlisted for the Team B.C. squad that will compete at the Canada Winter Games, which run from Feb. 13 to March 1 in Prince George. The provincial-team roster will be announced in November. Kneen was selected by the Blazers in the first round, third overall, and McDonald in the second round, 24th overall, at the 2014 WHL Bantam Draft on May 1.
RiverDogs pair to represent province The Kamloops Players Bench RiverDogs will have two players representing the midget AAA club at the 18-andunder National Baseball Championships later this month. Connor McKenzie and Brennan Hegel have been named to Team B.C. and will be heading to Magog, Que. from Aug. 14 to 18. “Having players selected to be a part of the top 18 players in the league to represent B.C. at nationals is a great honour,” said RiverDogs manager
Sean Wandler. “Connor and Brennan are both great kids and athletes who will represent their province and the city of Kamloops with pride both on and off the field.” The RiverDogs placed second at the B.C. Minor Baseball Association championship, which wrapped up on Sunday, Aug. 3.
WHL, Blue and Orange establish partnership with Kelowna-based tech company, Get in the Loop Getting in the Loop might be worthwhile for Kamloops Blazers backers and local businesses. Using cloud-based and mobile technology, Get in the Loop connects businesses — such as restaurants, pubs, golf courses, spas, wineries and resorts — with their customer base. Businesses sign up to be partners with Get in the Loop and advertise deals and discounts to the company’s members through their mobile devices. “It’s a great place for sponsors to promote offers to fans and season-ticket holders but, also, for the fans and season-ticket holders, it becomes the go-to app before and after every home game,” said Matt Crowell, CEO of Get in the Loop. “You check the Blazers’ loop and there could be 2-for-1 entrees and half-price appies. “You save money and the
restaurants get new customers in after the game. Everybody wins.” “We vet our businesses. They have to be high-quality,” Crowell said, noting users customize their own loops and they don’t receive spam. There are about 50 Kamloops businesses already on board and Crowell expects to have about 150 by October. He trumpeted the value of his company to local entrepreneurs. “You can change the outcome of an evening,” Crowell said. “They can promote their own offers. “It could be slow at five o’clock, then you hop on your phone and go 2-for-1 entrees the rest of the night and, boom, you touch thousands of phones in the city.” Blazers’ season-ticket holders will receive Get in the Loop — normally $29 per year — for free.
Fans of the Blue and Orange can sign up for $20 at getintheloop. ca. Businesses can also sign up to be partners on the website. Members do not need to prepurchase or print their deals. Instead, they redeem offers by displaying them on their phone at Get in the Loop partner locations. “Our mandate is to provide the most value to our sponsors, season-ticket holders and fans and a Get in the Loop membership is a great way to connect everyone and extend the Blazers’ brand throughout the community,” said Dave Chyzowski, the Blazers’ director of sales and marketing.

Athletes withdrawn from NACAC championships By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
There are expected to be about half as many athletes as originally expected attending the North American Central American Caribbean (NACAC) U23 Athletics Championships, which will take place in Kamloops from Friday, Aug. 8, to Sunday, Aug. 10. Cuba has withdrawn from the event and Mexico and Jamaica will not bring a full complement of athletes, according to Bob Cowden, chairman of the event’s local organizing committee. In May, organizers told media they were expecting about 400 athletes to attend. On Wednesday, Aug. 6, Cowden said 350 were expected, but added “numbers are coming in at about 215 to 220,” — which is a decrease of about 180 athletes from the 400 originally expected to compete. Each country can register a maximum of
88 athletes — 44 male and 44 female. As of May 4, Canada was expected to have a team of 57 athletes coming to Kamloops, according to an attendance sheet handed out to local media. That number has dropped to 38, Cowden said. The U.S. will have a full complement of 88 competitors at the meet, which is held every two years and features 44 track-andfield events. “We had expected a contingent from Cuba,” Cowden told KTW. “They found themselves financially
unable to participate in the event. We had expected Mexico to come with a significant contingent. Their numbers are down.” KTW learned Cuban athletics officials were asking for financial support from multiple sources, including the local organizing committee and other athletics federations. “Budgets of these very small countries and their federations stretches the limits of what they’re able to do,” Cowden said. “Countries’ athletics programs have been very committed to
what’s been happening on the world athletic scene. “We’ve just completed the World Youth Championships in Eugene, Oregon. There was the Commonwealth Games that wrapped up a few days ago in Glasgow.” There are some athletes flying directly to Kamloops from Scotland. Cowden said it’s always better to have the strongest competition possible, but there is still an abundance of world-class talent coming to the Tournament Capital, despite the absence of Cuba and fewer athletes from Mexico and Jamaica. The NACAC championships will feature future stars — most of them between the ages of 20 and 22 — who will go on to compete in the Olympic Games. “This will be about the highest level we’re going to get in Kamloops,” said Judy Armstrong, president of the Kamloops Track
and Field Club. Countries in the NACAC zone include Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Aruba, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Canada, Cayman Islands, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominica, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Grenada, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Montserrat, Netherlands Antilles, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and The Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos, the U.S. and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Action runs each day at Hillside Stadium and the Tournament Capital Centre. Go online to nacac2014.com for a full schedule of events.

Fatigued Timewell outlasts American to claim women’s title X From A15
Two things were on the 46-year-old’s mind during the double marathon — the pain in her stomach and Van Tassel’s blistering pace. After 20 kilometres, the American had cut Timewell’s lead from 27 minutes to 10. Van Tassel would go on to set a course record in the run, finishing in 7:58:51. Timewell’s 8:17:34 was also faster than the previous course record (8:31:13). Fear was the overwhelming emotion
for Timewell on that final day — she didn’t know if she had enough left to complete the third leg. She willed herself to the finish line with her crew helping her along the way. Each time they caught up with her, there was no advice, no words of encouragement — only how far ahead of Van Tassel she was. When she came to the race’s final kilometre, still ahead by eight minutes, Timewell knew she had done enough to win the women’s event. She was able to
enjoy the final stretch, crossing the finish line with her arm in the air, surrounded by her crew, friends and family. So, will the Kamloops anesthetic assistant compete in Ultraman again? “I don’t think so,” she said. “It took a toll on my body and the time and effort put into it — I really want to end this on a good note because it was just so fulfilling and rewarding. “It was a one-time thing that I will walk away with and be very satisfied, not needing to do another.”

VERGINIA GLADU
ARCHIBALD MCEACHERN
August 19, 1938 - July 26, 2014
Born December 29,1921– Died July 4, 2014
It’s with great sadness that we announce the passing of our loving mother/grandmother, Verginia. She faced many battles in her life; cancer twice, and the hardest one of all, the loss of her youngest son, Darin, in 1999.
A memorial celebration of Archie’s life will be held at the Salmon Arm Senior Activity Centre, 170-5th Avenue SE, on Tuesday, August 12th at 1:00 pm The family would like to thank everyone who have sent their words of comfort and good wishes. Online condolences can be sent through Archie’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com Arrangements are in the care of Bowers Funeral Home and Crematorium, Salmon Arm.
She leaves behind her two sons, Rodney and Rick (Bonnie) and her “Angel”, her only grandchild Sierra. She also leaves behind her brothers John (Sylvia) Stard, Ron (Judy) Stard and Tony (Elinor) Stard; her dearest nieces Betty Anne Glover and Gwen Gardiner, as well as numerous other nieces and nephews. Vera was always full of life in her younger years, loved company and would cook up a storm for everyone. She was a loving and devoted mother and homemaker and was always there for her sons through thick and thin. She drove through the worst winter storms in the Kootenays to get her boys to hockey and countless trips in the summer for their baseball. She was a tall slender beauty who caught the eye of her late husband Edward, and they began their married life and family in Trail, BC and with their firstborn, Rick, moved to Whitehorse for a few years, then back to Salmo until the early 80’s, then to Salmon Arm and, finally, Kamloops. The family would like to thank the wonderful nurses and doctors of the ICU and 6th Floor North at RIH for their compassion and care for Verginia and our family, and a special thanks to Dr. Dong. No service by request. If so desired, donations to the RIH may be made in her memory.

He was born in Kelliher, Sask. and grew up in Chilliwack and Abbotsford, BC. Allan started in the gold mines of Columbia and then ranched in Louis Creek from 1967 to 1987 where, besides cattle, he raised exceptional ranch horses. He then went into the logging business in Barriere and in 2007 semi-retired to Kamloops. A special gratitude and thanks to Jack and Helen Lowndes, Gert and Pat Dessau, the staff on Four West, the doctors, the staff at Ponderosa, and the High Country Health Care staff for their very much appreciated special attention and care.

THOMAS ALFRED TERENCE
HULTON
It is with great sadness we announce that on July 31, Dad went to be with his Lord & Saviour.
Jack was born on March 12, 1947 in Prince George. He spent the first 18 years of his life living in Prince George, at which time he moved to Vancouver, BC. It was here where he met his true love, Edith Winnifred. They were married on August 5,1967. Shortly thereafter, they moved to Kamloops, BC. They had two daughters, Charlotte Ann (Kevin) and Cara Lee. There are five grandchildren, Ashlynn, Nolan, Landon, and the twins, Soren and Claire. Jack worked in the cooking industry for ten years, working at a few different establishments in Vancouver first, and then here in Kamloops, before moving onto pursuing a new career venture at Afton Mines. It was here where he worked for 22 years as an equipment operator. He especially enjoyed operating the crane. Jack also enjoyed landscaping, building model ships, working on home renovations, and visiting the local Starbucks for morning coffee with his wife. Jack was predeceased by his parents Jens Kristian and Elizabeth Florence, his two sisters Marie and Margaret, and his brother Albert. Dad will be greatly missed by his wife, his two daughters, his five grandchildren, and many other family members. A very special thank you to Dr. Dong and Dr. Proctor, for their compassionate care. We are so appreciative, and Dad would be too, for all the kindness that was shown to him at the Kamloops Hospice Home. A Celebration of Jack’s Life will be held on August 12, 2014 at 11:00 am at Doubletree by Hilton Hotel, 339 St. Paul St., Kamloops, BC, followed by a reception. In lieu of flowers, donations in Jack’s memory would be appreciated if directed to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home, 72 Whiteshield Cres. South, Kamloops, BC, V2E 2S9.

A Vanished Friend Anders Lim
Around the corner I have a friend In this great city that has no end; Yet days go by, and weeks rush on, And before I know it a year has gone, And I never see my old friend’s face, For life is a swift and terrible race. He knows I like him just as well As in the days when I rang his bell, And he rang mine. We were younger then, And now we are busy, tired men, Tired of playing a foolish game, Tired with trying to make a name. “Tomorrow, I will call on Jim, Just to show that I am thinking of him.” But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And the distance between us grows and grows, Around the corner, yet miles away “Here’s a telegram, sir,” “Jim died today!” And that’s what we get, and deserve in the end, Around the corner a vanished friend!

Veterans Affairs challenged on chart facts By Murray Brewster CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — The Harper government has taken to social media to make the case that it’s being generous to disabled veterans, but critics and the opposition say Conservatives are posting misleading information. A chart laying out different scenarios of compensation was posted on the Veterans Affairs Facebook and Twitter accounts last week, showing benefits ranging from $6,743 per month to $10,260 per month, depending on a soldier’s rank. The chart compares the “maximum’’ disability earnings with the pre-release salaries of a private, a sergeant, a captain and a major, and in each case suggests the veterans are coming out ahead. It also contains a series of caveats — “support varies depending on individual circumstances,’’ for example — but NDP veterans critic Peter Stoffer said the chart is only being published to deceive the public. Stoffer said the government is throwing everything, including the kitchen sink, into the calculations, knowing full well the vast majority of soldiers never collect benefits that get anywhere near those numbers. A spokeswoman for Veterans Affairs Minister Julian Fantino said the government is simply responding to the demands of ex-soldiers and the country’s veterans ombudsman for more details about the kind of support available. “Veterans have said they want access to clear, easy-to-read information about the range of benefits and supports available to them, like the fact that they are eligible to receive thousands of dollars each month in just financial benefits from the government of Canada,’’ Ashlee Smith said in an email. But, Stoffer said, the government is trying to make a case that it has already fulfilled its obligation to those who have served and that no further improvements are needed
to the system. “It is extremely misleading and they are just trying to pull the
wool over the eyes of the Canadian people,’’ Stoffer said. “Many, many veterans
come nowhere near those amounts.’’ Ray McInnis, director of the service bureau at the
Royal Canadian Legion, said the figures the government is using are accurate, but only in theory.
The calculation, for example, uses a Grade 2 rating for the permanent impairment allowance,
when in fact the vast majority of wounded troops fall under the Grade 3 rating.

Canadians’ arrests grab attention in U.S. By Alexander Panetta CANADIAN PRESS
WASHINGTON — To Americans who watch China closely, the arrests of a coffee-shop-owning Canadian couple this week fits a familiar pattern. They point to domestic Chinese politics to explain the openly Christian family’s arrest on espionage charges. China’s new leaders have adopted a broad two-fold strategy for maintaining public support for the ruling party, they say — tighten discipline internally and play the nationalist card against outside forces. The detention of Kevin Garratt, 54, and Julia Dawn Garratt, 53, might serve both general objectives, they say. The case has received ample media attention in the United States and elsewhere in the world. Robert Daly, the head of the Kissinger Institute on China and the United States, said it’s hard to imagine that actual spies would be operating in a highly conspicuous coffee shop on the main drag of a remote, politically sensitive, tightly monitored city along the North Korean border. But, their arrests sends tough political messages, Daly noted.
He placed it in the context of China’s raids on Microsoft and Daimler; corruption charges against the vanished leader Zhou Yongkang; the disappearance of television host Rui Chenggang; crackdowns on scholars, media, think tank and NGOs; and an ongoing campaign vilifying Western thought. “The leaders that ordered the arrest knew that it would be another blow to China’s soft power,’’ said Daly, a former diplomat who heads the China institute out of Washington’s Wilson Center think-tank. “That they went ahead with it indicates that they are playing not to world opinion but to a domestic audience. If this analysis is correct, the Communist party’s goal is to demonstrate to the Chinese people that it is not cowed by the accusation that Chinese hackers attacked the Canadian National Research Council.’’ The spat with Canada comes after a similar tit-for-tat with the United States. When the U.S. announced criminal charges in May against five members of the Chinese military for corporate spying, Beijing called in the American ambassador, threatened retaliation and accused the U.S. of hypocrisy.

Wendy Weseen tells the story of her life in a memoir exhibit on now until Sept. 6 at the Arnica Artist Run Centre.
Motherhood, heartbreak, history and death By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
F
ROM THE cradle to the grave, Wendy Weseen’s life story spills across the walls of the Arnica Artist Run Centre via paper dolls, twigs, collages and, in one case, a sculpture including her children’s baby teeth. “My son was here on the weekend. He said, ‘mom, tell me that’s not what I think it is,’” said Weseen with a laugh, pointing out the teeth decorating a small
female torso — part of a piece documenting the Kamloops’ artists relationships to her family members and the places they’ve lived over the course of her life. Though the mixed-media exhibit has its fair share of whimsy, Weseen said the inspiration for her visual memoir came after she separated from her husband, who died not long after. “We were best friends our whole life and so losing him both times, like wham, wham, it really takes you down to the bone,” she said. “You start to question — well, if this isn’t true what
else isn’t true? You start examining all your belief systems and the weirdest things come out.” Constructed from a mix of thrift and found objects and photographs, the various pieces on display touch on Weseen’s family history, her birth in the UK during the Second World War and four years spent in “pioneer, frontier” Northern Saskatchewan in the 1950s without electricity, paved roads and modern comforts. Another work uses laminated figures of men at work and women at home, purchased 20 years earlier
at a school flea market, to explore the gender restrictions in play in the early 1960s when Weseen graduated from high school. While the stories are specific, Weseen said she also tried to touch more universal themes: Motherhood, heartbreak, family and history. The final pieces of the series look to the future, exploring both death and the return to earth beyond. “People say I’m morbid, but I don’t think that’s what it’s about at all,” said Weseen. “I think it’s about facing the realities and think-
ing about, if death is a sure thing, how do I want to live my life today? “I think it’s a very uplifting thing but, in our culture, we’re not very good at death and dying.” Weseen said her works start with an idea, but after that, the challenge is matching her thoughts up with her collection of materials, amassed over decades. “I get an idea, then I pull everything out because I’ve forgotten what I have, possible things,” she said. From there, it can take several weeks before a piece begins to settle into place.

A Retrospective reunion of artists
It’s a reunion organized as much for the public as for the artists involved. Kamloops Old Courthouse is playing host this month to a group of artists that used to show at the now-closed Artists’ Studio Gallery in Sahali Centre Mall. Cathie Peters said the show will bring together 10 of the 19 artists who showed at Artists’ Studio: herself, Jeanette Ardern, Lynda Boutilier, Terry Farrell, Allen Frissell, Alan Hodgson, Lorraine Papp, Dale Redfern, Carol Straley and Ted Willard. Their group is planning an interac-
tive element to the exhibit as well. Each day the Courthouse is open, two of the artists on display will take shifts painting in the gallery. Peters said the goal is to show people what the creative process looks like. “We used to do that up at the [Sahali] gallery,” she said. “So, they come in and they see how it’s made and they stop and chat about art.” Artists’ Studio and Gallery: A Retrospective runs from Aug. 7 to Aug. 30 at the Old Courthouse, 7 Seymour St. W. An opening reception is set for Friday, Aug. 8, from 7 to 9 p.m.

Q and A with a Kamloops tattooist: Before Karla Pearce caught up with Rocky McAfee of Rocky’s Tattoo during during the second-season opener for her show Creating With Karla Pearce. By Karla Pearce
SPECIAL TO KTW
When did you first become interested in art / tattooing? Rocky: “I have always had an interest
in the art field and started drawing and painting as a very young boy; as young as five years old. “I enjoy sketching with charcoal, pen and ink, painting with oils as well as acrylics and
also airbrushing. “My favourite art medium is tattooing flesh. “I did my very first tattoo at the tender age of 12. “This was pains-

takingly executed on my 13-year-old buddy Rod, unbeknownst to my parents. “We did the dastardly deed in my basement bedroom, while my folks watched TV upstairs. “This was done very creatively with a large sewing needle and some India ink, one painful jab at a time. “The finished product on Rod’s living flesh looked pretty cool to a couple of young pals.� What was the moment when you realized you wanted to be a tattoo artist? Rocky: “When I was 15, I rode the bus with two school friends to downtown Vancouver, to a place called the Dragon Tattoo parlor. “Once inside, I was blown away. “The bright-coloured flash, the sharp smell of isopropyl alcohol and the steady buzz of the tattoo machine penetrating the client’s skin were the perfect ingredients to make me want my first tattoo. “I was so inspired by
the ecstatic atmosphere inside the Dragon Tattoo shop and of the friendly artist, worldrenowned Dave Shore,

HE NEXT time you drive to Vancouver, you may want to make a pit stop at the Othello Tunnels just before Hope. Rambo fans are no doubt familiar with this area ,where incredible engineering meets incredible landscape. Known as Chapman’s Gorge in Sylvester Stallone’s blockbuster film First Blood, this was where the police officer fell out of the helicopter and where Rambo clung for his life to a rock wall above the waters of the Coquihalla River. The section of the Kettle Valley Railway between Hope and Coquihalla is called the Coquihalla Subdivision. It was built between 1913 and 1916.
The most expensive mile (the one near the summit) cost $300,000, almost triple the average cost for railways at the time, which was $136,000 per mile. This section of the railway consisted of 43 bridges requiring 22 million board feet of lumber, 13 tunnels and 16 snowsheds totalling two miles in length. The tunnels got their name from Kettle Valley Railway engineer, Andrew McCulloch, who was an avid fan of William Shakespeare. It was said he sat around the evening campfire with the railway construction workers, reciting Shakespearean poetry and used the names of characters from his plays to name stations along the Coquihalla line. The Kettle Valley Railway was the most difficult railway in the country to operate, with

FINDING OTHELLO WITHOUT READING SHAKESPEARE HOW TO GET THERE
From Kamloops, take exit 183 before Hope. Follow Othello Road for a few minutes until you pass the Othello Tunnels Campground and come to a fork in the road. Take the left turn, which brings you to Tunnels Road and there you will find the parking lot. The tunnels are located in the Coquihalla Canyon Provincial Park. A 15- to 20-minute walk down the trail will bring you to the tunnels, which are open from April to October. If you continue along Othello Road to Hope, you will cross the famous bridge where, the First Blood film, the sheriff dropped Rambo off, telling him to leave town.

was so hazardous that it was rumoured the trains only crossed it at night so passengers wouldn’t be terrified by the canyons far below. The railway provided both freight and passenger service between the Kootenays and the Coast for 48 years. Eventually, better roads and air travel took their passengers away. In November 1959, heavy rains washed out sections of the Coquihalla line and the damage was never repaired. In 1961, this section of the railway was officially closed. This incredibly scenic section of the old railway line is now a popular place for hikers, cyclists and movie producers.

Ford Motor Company is collaborating with seven of the world’s largest automakers and 15 U.S. utility companies to develop technology for plug-in electric vehicles to talk to the utilities via the cloud — a move that would help manage energy use and improve the efficiency of the power grid. Collaboration among the automakers, utility companies and Electric Power Research Institute is integral to the pilot program, which will create a standardsbased communications platform for use by plug-in electric vehicles and the electric grids. This platform will enable the utilities to contact vehicle customers who have opted-in to the program, sending a request for those cars to stop charging temporarily to help manage a grid that is becoming overloaded. This approach uses existing communications technology and standards, such as Ford’s MyFord mobile app, and pushes to advance those systems by enabling twoway communication between the electric grid and electric vehicles. Participating utility companies are prepared to offer financial incentives to owners who make their cars available to the grid, similar to utilities offering customers discounts for allowing their home air conditioning to run intermittently during times of high demand. Customers who opt-in to the program can charge their cars at a location of their choice and have the ability to ignore the utility’s request to stop charging. The formal collaboration between the automakers, utilities and Electric Power Research Institute began in fall 2012.

Park-assist standard on every Chevrolet SS
LAND ROVER DROPS HINT Land Rover has dropped the biggest hint yet towards the design of Discovery Sport, with a new camouflage wrap that gives a peek into the interior packaging, highlighted by the future compact SUV’s 5+2 available seating. As if peeling back the outer layer of the vehicle, the camouflage reveals that the Discovery Sport will in fact have the option of two seats in the third row, enhancing its versatility and appeal as a compact, family SUV. Prototype cars sporting the new camouflage design left Halewood, U.K., where the Discovery Sport will be manufactured, to embark on final testing and development activity across several continents. Discovery Sport will go on sale in 2015.
The SS sedan is Chevrolet’s first and only vehicle to offer standard automatic parking assist. The technology uses sensors on the front and rear bumpers to detect the width and depth of parallel and reverse right-angle parking spaces to provide hands-free parking help. The system can detect obstacles, gauge the size of a parking space, assess distance to the curb and calculate optimum steering angles for each parking space. The driver, following instructions on the driver-information centre, controls the accelerator and brake while the automatic parking assist controls the steering. Signals sent from the sensors in the bumpers to the electric power steering rack allow the vehicle to steer itself into the space.
