The B.C. Court of Appeal has ruled Dan Ambrosi does not have to refund $31,000 the City of Kamloops paid to fight a fire at Ambrosi’s Owl Road landfill in 2007. KTW file photo

Ambrosi off the hook for $31K bill

By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Valleyview dump owner will escape having to repay taxpayers the $31,000 cost of fighting a blaze that threatened to burn out of control.

B.C. Court of Appeal ruled in favour of Dan Ambrosi, owner of Valleyview Enterprises, whose dump was the site of an inferno in June, 2007 ignited by smouldering building materials from a house fire dropped at the Owl Road facility.

It took Kamloops Fire & Rescue, which called in an additional 30 off-duty staff, 24 hours to control the blaze.

Ambrosi was convicted in 2010 under two counts of the Environmental Management Act for failing to compact demolition material and cover it within five days as well as failing to submit an annual report by the March deadline.

Court of Appeal judges side with owner of Owl Road landfill saying he is not responsible for paying firefighting costs Judge Chris Cleaveley levied fines totalling $22,500 on Ambrosi and his company, with the bulk of the money going to the provincial Habitat Conservation Trust Fund.

During sentencing, the Crown also successfully applied for a $31,000 restitution order, representing staff costs of the fire department as well as cost of the year’s worth of foam used to control the blaze.

Ambrosi unsuccessfully appealed to the B.C. Supreme Court.

But, B.C.’s Court of Appeal agreed to hear submissions on the restitution order, leaving the original fines to stand.

The ruling, released on Thursday, Aug. 14, states

Ambrosi doesn’t have to pay those firefighting costs.

If he’s already done so, the city of Kamloops must repay him.

In the decision from the appeal court, Justice David Frankel said the Environmental Management Act does not expressly allow restitution unless it is to the province itself.

Lawyers acting for the Crown failed to argue that the City of Kamloops qualified under the term “government” contained in the act.

The business owner has operated the private landfill in Valleyview for decades to the chagrin of the Juniper Ridge neighbourhood perched above it.

The city and province have battled Ambrosi to bring

the dump into compliance, particularly a longstanding problem — now rectified — of uncovered drywall material stored there.

Ambrosi, who represented himself at the B.C. Court of Appeal, could not be reached for comment.

City administrator Dave Trawin said following the fire the city pondered launching a separate lawsuit to recover its firefighting costs.

“We felt he had unlawful materials in the landfill that made us stay there longer. It wasn’t an ordinary fire.”

The decision was made to go with a suggestion from lawyers from the province to ask for restitution as part of the sentencing.

“It’s $31,000,” Trawin said.

“I don’t believe we’ll appeal.”

Todd Stone, MLA for Kamloops-South Thompson, said his office has few, if any, complaints about the Valleyview dump.

“That operation, to my recollection, hasn’t been consistently identified as problematic,” he told KTW. “I believe they’ve been operating as per their permits from the Ministry of Environment.”

Two years ago, then-environment minister Terry Lake said the landfill was doing a better job of complying with its permits.

Ambrosi also launched a number of unsuccessful legal actions alleging city and provincial government employees treated him unfairly.

Watchdog will probe Mt. Polley VICTORIA — B.C.’s information and privacy commissioner plans to investigate whether the provincial government should have notified the public about potential risk connected to the Mount Polley tailings pond.

The pond burst last week, sending millions of cubic metres of water and silt into nearby streams and waterways.

Privacy commissioner Elizabeth Denham said concerns are being raised about what the provincial government knew about the condition of the Mount Polley mine and whether the public should have been notified of the potential risks before the disaster occurred.

Denham said she’s acting on a complaint her office received and will determine whether the government was legally bound to disclose information about the gold and copper mine.

Denham has the power to compel disclosure of documents, interview government and company officials, make determinations of compliance within the law, and recommend changes.

Intersection of 1st Ave & Victoria Street ~ New Configuration Why was the intersection re-aligned?

The new intersection configuration will connect 1st Avenue and Lorne Street for both northbound and southbound traffic. This will provide a direct connection between Lorne Street and Downtown, as well as improved pedestrian access to Riverside Park.

How do I access City Hall?

City Hall can be accessed by turning left from Lansdowne Street onto 1st Avenue or turning left from Seymour Street onto 1st Avenue.

Why can’t I turn left off of Victoria St? Traffic on 1st Avenue may get backed up as drivers wait for the green light to cross or turn left onto Lansdowne Street. This back up would make it difficult for vehicles to turn left from Victoria Street onto 1st Avenue, causing additional congestion and delays. In addition, the potential back up on 1st Avenue could create a safety issue as it may obstruct views of vehicles and pedestrians crossing in the area.

Visit www.kamloops.ca for more information.

Please note: Landscaping work will continue until the end of August and motorists are advised there may still be some delays.

Downtown food vendors trucking along

City will assess food truck program in the fall, but likely to stick if no complaints STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

In the first few weeks Miles Carriere’s new business was downtown, there were some in the public who were confused about what he was up to.

“I’ve had a couple people think I was double-parked on the side of the road,” said the owner of Samidges, one of four food trucks parked downtown this summer. “It’s like, ‘No, you know, I’m open for business.’”

By the end of the first month, Carriere had regulars showing up for his roast beef sandwich and frozen yoghurt offerings.

“I’m getting more regulars than new customers, which is odd when things are starting out,” said the owner and sole employee of Samidges.

“But, once I find someone who’s willing to try the food truck thing they either say, ‘I’ve got to try all the other trucks’ or they stick to a couple favourite trucks after going through all of them.”

Though food trucks have gained popularity across North America, this is the first summer Kamloops has opened its downtown streets, and made many of its

A pilot project allowing the trucks to park in one of three designated spaces — the 200 block of Seymour Street and on alternate sides of the 5th Avenue and Victoria St. intersection — runs until this fall.

The city plans to asses the program in the fall with a report to council. City planner Stephen Bentley said the city will determine the program’s success in part by whether any complaints come in.

“If we run this and we don’t get really complaints and nothing’s brought to our attention I don’t think we’ll be going out and changing a bunch,” he said. “I’d say no news is good news.”

Silver & Gold A DIAMOND RING that has DIFFICULTY GOING UNNOTICED.

But, while the trucks are attracting Kamloops eaters, both their owners and other businesses in the downtown core feel there’s more to do to tap into the booming food cart culture seen it other cities.

For Eats Amore owner Mikey WheelerJohnson, the switch from Valleyview Square to downtown was a welcome one.

By mid-July, the Italian food truck had managed its first sellout day parked outside the Paramount Theatre — a spot that initially

proved a harder sell than St. Andrews, with its nearby office blocks.

“We’re starting to remember lots of names because you see them often enough,” he said.

“But you’ve also got lots of people who are like ‘Oh, I saw it on your Facebook page so I made a special trip downtown today.’

Because not everyone goes downtown in the middle of the day if they don’t have to.”

But, he’d like to see his cart have the opportunity to catch later-day diners.

Building numbers rise in July Royal Inland Hospital construction provides substantial boost

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

After lagging behind 2013 for months, Kamloops’ building permit numbers took a big jump in July, putting the city head of last year’s totals for the first time in 2014.

The city issued more than $60 million in permits over the month, compared to $15.7 million in July of 2013. That puts Kamloops’ total permit value at $122.4 million, up from $87.6 million at this time last year.

Most of the permit value came from five institutional permits totalling $42.9 million. Most of that sum came from a single permit for the new clinical services building and parkade at Royal Inland Hospital.

“The hospital helped to bring our numbers up,” said the city’s chief building official Kundan Bubbar.

The city also gave out just over $1 million in commercial permits.

On the residential side, the city handed over another big permit for the Kamloops United Church’s housing development at 429 St. Paul Street, Bubbar said.

The permit for the 56-unit development, which features mainly affordable purchase units, was valued at $9 million.

Residential permit value was up overall, from $6.8 million in July of 2013 to $15.6 million in July of this year.

The city also doled out 13 single-family home permits, valued at $4.1 million, slightly fewer than last year when 15 permits worth $4.6 million went out.

While the city issued permits for five times as many residential dwelling units this July compared to July 2013 — 60, compared to 12 — unit numbers overall are below last year’s to-date totals.

So far this year the city has issued permits for 242 units.

By this time in 2013, it had issued permits for 316.

Bubbar said the city looks like it is on track to hit this year’s permit value target of $140 million to $150 million.

“There are five more months to go and it depends what happens with the casino,” Bubbar said. “That will be $10 to $15 million at least.”

Kamloops city councillors are due to decide whether Gateway Casinos can relocate and expand Lake City Casino on Tuesday, Aug. 19.

‘They need to be more diligent’ Canada Post group mailboxes left wide open in Cherry Creek

By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A business located on a Canada Post rural route west of the city is questioning the corporation’s plans install community mailboxes for every Canadian when carriers can’t keep his mail straight.

“I’ve had only problems with lost and misdirected mail on this route,” said Brent Herrmann, who operates a wholesale distribution business in Cherry Creek.

“We have a business and get lots of cheques. We’ve had cheques missing on three occasions.”

Those missing cheques cause a paperwork and time hassle because when payments are late, he doesn’t know whether they have been lost or misdirected.

Herrmann’s frustration peaked when earlier this month he went to the box to find it completely open.

Nothing appeared missing so he speculated the carrier did not shut and lock it.

“It was swinging open in the wind,” he said.

“They need to be more diligent.”

Herrmann said dealing with local Canada Post managers proved fruitless. He said the route is done by contract drivers.

He said one of the suggestions by

staff was that he get a general mailbox within the city for his business use.

“My neighbours have the same problem.”

A public relations official with Canada Post said the incidents were not reported to a national call-in number so it does not have details. It recommends calling a 1-800 number for suspected lost or stolen mail.

Herrmann also wonders what will happen with mail security as Canada Post eliminates all home delivery in favour of community mailboxes.

“They should be self-locking, so doors can’t swing open, he said.

“There needs to be a mechanism if they’re going to roll it out to all Canadians.”

Corporate spokeswoman Carley Smith said it has experimented with a number of box styles as it eliminates door-to-door service, including looking at designs from other countries.

“We’ve been installing community mailboxes for over 30 years. They’ve evolved over time and will continue to evolve.”

Canada Post has not announced when it will eliminate door-to-door home mail service in Kamloops.

CRIMES OF THE WEEK AGGRESSIVE SHOPLIFTER On Monday Aug 4th shortly before 11:00 pm a lone male had entered the Safeway store on Fortune Drive on Tranquille rd.

The male had walked around the store for a brief time before catching the eye of the store security staff member. The security employee watched the male place items under shirt before departing the store. When the security staff approached the suspect, the suspect pushed the security staff member out of the way and rode off on a BMX bicycle. Just before the suspect left the store, the security member got a picture of the male and is described as Caucasian, mid twenties, short light brown hair, with an ear ring in his left ear.

If you know this male please contact Crime Stoppers, you will receive a cash reward upon the arrest of the suspect.

SENSELESS VANDALISM Here is a case of senseless vandalism to a store front window at the IDA North Shore Pharmacy on the 500 block of Tranquille rd. in the early morning of Saturday August 2nd at 2:40 am. For whatever reason someone smashed a large hole in front window of the store. It does not appear the motive was

to gain access to the building but just to cost damage. The IDA store is a good community member and sponsors numerous events in the community, this money that is going to be used to replace the window could have been going to community functions.

Tranquille rd. is a very busy street

at most times of the day or night, someone may have seen someone cause the damage or someone in front of the store that morning.

If you have any information on this vandalism please contact Crime Stoppers, you will remain anonymous will never have to go to court.

THEFT OF KNIVES The Double Tree Hilton hotel on St. Paul st. was where two males were seen entering the back of the Hotel and stole numerous items. It is obvious these males were watching the staff come and go and waited until they were busy in another part of the Hotel. The two males entered at the back near the kitchen and

took a leather brief case containing very expensive Chef Knives, testers, peelers and a thermometer, these thieves have no idea the value of these items. Not only will the chef have to replace these items, the chef will be out of his tools of his trade to prepare all the dishes for the Hotel. If anyone should come

across any of these knives, watch for the following brand names; Constant, Masanori and Wurstof.

If you have any information on this theft or know the whereabouts of these knives please contact Crime Stoppers,youwillremainanonymous and only your information will be used never you name.

Hey, people now . . . let me see you get together

“

FOR THE GUY WHO WAS IN DOWNTOWN DENNY’S TODAY AND KEPT STARING AT ME!!! YOU WERE REALLY CUTE AND I WISH I HAD THE LADY BALLS TO TALK TO YOU . . .”

I stumbled upon the apparent missed opportunity online among other Kamloops secrets.

Facebook confessional groups have gained popularity in recent years and the anonymous web forums have popped up among niche groups.

Students, employees and others make up just a sample of those who comprise the groups around the world.

Private information is submitted anonymously through a Google document or survey program and is posted anonymously via a group administrator to the webpage for Facebook users to view, “like” and comment upon, if they choose to do so.

While perusing these forums, I was hopeful for a local WikiLeaks.

Would the Kamloops Confessions page reveal some behind-the-scenes information relevant to the Ajax Mine proposal?

Perhaps, it would provide insight into the closure of the Kamloops Daily News?

Or, maybe, someone would know exactly what happened to Sedric’s resort theme park?

No answers could be found among posts like: “I am so sick and tired of everyone on the country bandwagon.”

“To the lovely lady texting my fiancé asking if he’s horny at three in the morning — I suggest you take a

JESSICA WALLACE Generation

GAP

look in the mirror. “ And, let’s not forget: “I think you’re adorable. RAWR.” By “RAWR”, I would have taken an anonymous Winners employee venting about working the store’s lengthy lineups.

But, there was nothing of the sorts.

Posts were no more detailed than the whimsy of daily astrology. Topics were no more relevant than tabloid gossip. Most of the information could have been posted with users’ names attached.

While I sympathize over relationship troubles — girl, perhaps you should find your own man — I found the Kamloops Confession page disappointing.

Wal-Mart, McDonalds and Target groups are juicier.

We don’t need to go as far as Prince George’s page, which has taken on a life of its own with posts ranging from eating raw steak by the “chunk” and full-on hate for the marginalized.

But, the University of Manitoba’s page proved useful.

A lost campus love interest was ultimately reunited after someone made a post about it and a commenter

linked the woman’s Facebook profile to the anonymous admirer.

What else could be accomplished with this powerful medium?

Over 10,500 have tuned in to Okanagan Confessions — that’s a lot of people who could make a difference.

Other online groups have made a splash in the area: Random Acts of Kamloops Kindness and Kamloops Mom Swap/Buy share about 15,000 members collectively, each successful in their own respective mantras of providing positivity and connecting moms.

Kamloops Confessions has attracted a little over 400 people and its potential has yet to be reached.

It requires collective critical thinking and, possibly, moderation — I’m not encouraging anonymous defamation or gossip — but the potential is limitless.

It’s a municipal election year.

Why not confess what you want for the city? Have you got a bone to pick?

Any TRU students out there with ideas about changes to the university?

Anything happening that has irked you?

Too afraid to put your name on a letter to the editor or sacrifice your reputation to the likes of KTW’s online commenters?

I challenge Kamloops thinkers to run with the anonymous online forum or start a new one, grow it and use it intelligently.

Let’s make use of a missed opportunity and, in the very least, we might connect a lost Denny’s love.

A hand up, not a hand out makes a difference It’s time to stop turning a blind eye to homelessness.

Kamloops is a progressive city when it comes to homelessness. There are programs and shelters in place to help, as well as dedicated staff willing to go the extra mile for their clients.

But the No Straight Lines production Home/Less/Mess shows there’s more the average person can do. p The play, which opened on Wednesday, Aug. 13 and will continue until Saturday, Aug. 16, sets its sights on “bringing the stories of homelessness out of the darkness.”

It follows six Kamloops residents, all of whom have lived through varying degrees of homelessness — a play made up of the cast’s anecdotes, it evokes happiness and sorrow, devastation and, at times, humour.

It will challenge beliefs about the nature of homelessness.

The 2012 Kamloops homeless count revealed 99 people in the River City are without a home. Many have fallen on hard times, victims of a broken system and circumstances beyond their control.

Home/Less/Mess shows that, whether it’s a warm meal, a piece of clothing or a smile and a conversation, everyone has the power to help break the cycle.

Kamloops, next time you’re approached by a homeless person, take the time to say hello, to listen, to hear someone’s story and to give a helping hand if you can.

Don’t ignore, don’t walk away and don’t think people are on the street because they put themselves there.

The smallest gesture can have a powerful impact.

Many of us can relate incidents where someone has, perhaps unexpectedly, made a positive impact upon our lives.

Here’s mine.

At 32, more than three-anda-half decades ago, I expected a third pregnancy, so I went to my general practitioner for confirmation.

After he confirmed I was expecting, he said: “You know, most women in your condition would opt for an abortion.”

After inquiring what condition I had that warranted abortion, he replied I was “over the age of 30 and already had two children.”

I recall presenting a case to the doctor in favour of keeping my child, but he gave counterarguments.

For two days after that appointment, I thought of little else than that with only

The C185 was fully complying with the Canadian Air Regulations (CARS) and co-ordinating his flight with the air-traffic specialist on duty.

The Piper Cheyenne was on RADAR and the air-traffic specialist was aware of his inbound flight.

There was a possible CARS. violation due to the lateness of the Cheyenne’s initial contact.

At this point, they were still five miles apart. The C185 continued his circuit as normal and the Cheyenne continued with a straight in landing on runway 26.

Bill Yearwood is a highly respected member of the Transportation Safety Board and was obviously caught off guard as he rarely makes comments on incidents when he has not read the report.

The only reason this incident was reported is due to the potential CARS violation.

Perhaps the non-precise wording of the original report led to the confusion.

George Stonehouse Air Traffic Specialist Association of Canada

Just as it was morally wrong for me to choose to abort my little one, so it must not be right for any unborn child’s life to be terminated.

A human life is a human life regardless of the circumstances.

So, the life that made such a difference for me was only about two months in utero at the time of his greatest influence.

His birth was pure wonder, as all births are and, as all children do, he has brought my husband and I his own unique gifts of joy and sorrow, both of which have given us opportunities for parental and spiritual growth.

As a footnote, we are now the grandparents of a child with Down syndrome, who has given us many reasons to know abortion and euthanasia are not answers at all for people with special needs.

Editor: A routine day at work reminded me how precious life is and that the actions of a select few still have a powerful effect on my family years later.

New Years Eve 2007, my daughter suffered a seizure she was lucky to survive. It took years for her to recover completely.

From the firemen to the paramedics to the police officer who gave me kind words and support after he pulled me over at 3 a.m. on my ride home from the hospital, I still have no words other than a deep thank you for all you did for my baby.

Fast forward to last month, when the paramedic who worked so hard on my living room floor saving the life of my child walked into my workplace.

I had not seen him since that day and I have never had the opportunity to properly thank him.

I want him to know we’ve never forgotten the impact he made on our lives. My husband and I thank you from the bottom of our heart; our gratitude for all the professionals we encountered that awful day runs deep.

Other trucks being built, considering a move X From A5

“The 6 o’clock end time is really a hindrance to us, because that’s the dinner rush,” he said.

Food trucks on off-street lots are allowed to operate until 11 p.m.

Carriere also wants to see the program expanded — in his case, with more spaces for trucks.

“I can only see this industry growing,” he said.

“I’ve heard there’s already a few other trucks that are being built or considering moving in for the next season.”

Wheeler-Johnson agrees.

He spotted another food truck under construction on a Sahali shopping trip in July, and said he knows of others in the works within Kamloops.

“I think there’s room for it, so long as people approach it with an ethical point, you know what I mean?” he said.

“Nobody comes in and undercuts me with another pasta truck, or no one goes

and starts another pulled pork truck. There’s lots of room for creativity in the culinary world.”

Brick-and-mortar businesses owners have their own thoughts on what the city needs to do to make the

program work long-term.

Bill Sanesh, owner of Bikini Bill’s, said he thinks the city is giving trucks

access to the downtown market too cheaply.

“We’re paying all the taxes to put the sidewalks in, the CAP team in, all the warm and fuzzies,” said Sanesh, “and then they get to come in and cherry pick the best days.”

Food trucks pay $15 per day for a downtown slot, as well as the usual business licensing and permitting fees. Sanesh said between his property taxes and levy for the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association he pays about $10,000 to the city for his Victoria St. location.

He’d like to see trucks pay around 10 per cent of that, minimum, to access the downtown.

Senor Froggies owner Robert Stodala agrees the trucks have some financial advantages to traditional restaurants, but said he thinks the city has adopted the wrong model for food trucks altogether.

“I’ve never been anywhere and seen only one food truck,” he said.

Stodala said he thinks the city should adopt a model he’s seen and liked in other cities and countries, where food trucks are clustered together in a destination location. His choice: Riverside Park.

“There’s extremely limited food choice in Riverside Park,” he said.

“It’s a park that stretches about 10 blocks and there’s one concession. It’s clearly an under-serviced area and yet we’re not using this as a tool. We’re just throwing this out and saying ok, let’s subsidize new restaurants.”

Stodala said the trucks haven’t had an impact on his business this summer and are good for the city, but he doesn’t think they’ll survive if the city sticks with its current program.

“I believe the novelty will wear off,” he said.

Despite his concerns, Sanesh too is a fan of the city’s new rolling dining options.

“Have you tried Eats Amore?” he asked KTW. “It’s spectacular food.”

Violent clashes follow teen’s shooting death ASSOCIATED PRESS

FERGUSON, Mo. — Police used tear gas and smoke bombs to repel crowds who threw Molotov cocktails during another violent night on the streets of a St. Louis suburb in the wake of the shooting of the unarmed 18-year-old Michael Brown.

Hours earlier, the police chief had said race relations were the top priority in the town, where a white police officer fatally shot the black teen.

Authorities have vowed to reach across the racial, economic and generational divide in a community in search of answers.

In the streets of Ferguson, though, the polite dialogue heard at community forums and news conferences is nowhere to be found.

Instead, officers from multiple departments in riot gear and in military equipment have clashed nightly with protesters who chant,

Police in Ferguson, Mo., use tear gas and smoke bombs; Two reporters and a St. Louis alderman taken into custody “Hands up, don’t shoot.’’

Wednesday saw more tense confrontations and further volleys of tear gas from police — this time paired with smoke bombs in response to flaming projectiles and other objects lobbed from the crowd.

Protesters faced heavily armed police who at times trained weapons on them from armoured trucks.

Two reporters said they were detained by police for not clearing out quickly enough from a McDonald’s where they were working, near the protests but away from the more volatile areas.

The two, who work for The Washington Post and The Huffington Post, were released without any charges. Both say they were assaulted but not seriously hurt.

The St. Louis Post-

Dispatch reported about 10 people had been arrested, including St. Louis alderman Antonio French, who has been chronicling the protests on social media.

Police had said earlier they would not have arrest information until early Thursday.

Residents in Ferguson have complained about what they called a heavyhanded police presence that began with the use of dogs for crowd control soon after Brown’s shooting — a tactic that for some invoked the spectre of civil-rights protests a half-century ago.

The county police force took over leading both the investigation of Brown’s shooting and the subsequent attempts to keep the peace at the smaller city’s request.

County Police Chief Jon Belmar, though, said his officers have responded

with “an incredible amount of restraint,’’ as they’ve been the targets of rocks, bottles and gunshots, with two dozen patrol vehicles being destroyed.

“It’s pretty amazing how impressed I am and inspired by these officers,’’ he said.

“This is a very difficult circumstance.’’

Police had also asked earlier that people assemble in “an organized and respectful’’ manner and disperse before evening.

The city and county are also under criticism for refusing to release the name of the officer involved in Brown’s shooting, citing threats against that officer and others.

Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson called improving race relations “the top priority right now’’ but also said he won’t be pressured into publicly

identifying the officer — despite, he said, mounting demands from clergy, computer hackers and protesters.

“We have the right to know and the family has the right to know who murdered their son,’’ said Sahari Gutierrez, a 27-year-old Ferguson legal assistant.

Jackson said he also welcomes Justice Department training on racial relations in the suburb, where twothirds of the 21,000 residents are black while all but three of the police force’s 53 officers are white.

Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon cited the “worsening situation’’ in Ferguson and said he would be in the area Thursday.

He asked community members to be patient and calm while the investigation proceeds and urged law enforcement agencies to “keep the peace and respect

the rights of residents and the press.’’

Jackson said the investigation remains weeks away from completion.

Police have said Brown was shot after an officer encountered him and another man on the street.

They say one of the men pushed the officer into his squad car, then physically assaulted him in the vehicle and struggled with the officer over the officer’s weapon.

At least one shot was fired inside the car.

The struggle then spilled onto the street, where Brown was shot multiple times.

In their initial news conference about the shooting, police didn’t specify whether Brown was the person who scuffled with the officer in the car and have refused to clarify their account.

Jackson said Wednesday that the officer involved sustained swelling facial injuries.

WOLFPACK’S BEST WILL NOT RETURN

Justin Wallace, unhappy with WolfPack administration, leaves TRU soccer squad

By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

He’s eligible and he’s healthy, but the best collegiate soccer player in the country is walking away from Thompson Rivers University.

Justin Wallace, the WolfPack’s leading scorer in 2013 and the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association’s (CCAA) player of the year, has elected not to return to university soccer in the Tournament Capital, citing, among other things, concerns with the program’s administration. “It was a tough decision,� Wallace told KTW on Wednesday, Aug. 13, while his former team conducted training camp on McArthur Island. “It came down to a little bit of school and a little bit about the program, how it is currently.�

Wallace’s issues with the program stem, at least in part, from the athletics department’s decision to make a change at the helm of the club. His father, Sean Wallace, coached at TRU for more than a decade and laced his boots up with the club in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

His all-time record as a university coach is 89-50-38.

Sean spent the last seven years as a co-head coach with John Antulov, who was named the WolfPack’s lone head coach following a summer hiring process. “How it was all handled — I don’t think it was handled right, all the way up to the top at the athletics department,� Justin said. “I didn’t really want to be a part of it anymore and I thought taking a year off would be beneficial for me academically and even mentally, just taking a break from soccer.�

Athletics director Ken Olynyk said he didn’t believe the coaching situation was mishandled. “I mean, I’m disappointed Justin’s not playing,� Olynyk said. “Whenever there’s a coaching adjustment or a coaching change, some players react

in different ways. Justin’s choice is his choice — I feel bad for TRU. I feel bad for him.�

Olynyk didn’t foresee Justin leaving as a result of the hiring, though he said it’s not something that would have factored into the hiring committee’s decision.

He stood by the process, despite his disappointment Justin will not be taking the field this season. “It was exactly the same as when we hired Pat Hennelly [men’s volleyball coach], when we hired Scott Reeves [women’s basketball coach], when we hired any other coach we have hired,� he said.

Justin returned to the WolfPack in 2013, after playing for the Simon Fraser University Clan in the NCAA the previous two seasons.

He said he was brought back to the Tournament Capital, in part, by a desire to play for his dad and with his brother, WolfPack defender Nolan Wallace.

But, with both Wallaces now gone — Nolan, a trades student, is ineligible as all CIS athletes must be enrolled in a degree-granting program — Justin felt less of a draw to return to the Pack.

He also had concerns about his relationship with the team’s new coach. “Me and John [Antulov], I wouldn’t say it ended well with us,�

Justin said. “It didn’t really seem like he wanted me to come back and he didn’t really make me feel comfortable about coming back. “So, most likely, I’ll have to look somewhere else to play.�

Antulov said he had conversations with Justin about returning but didn’t want to comment about the specifics.

He said he respected Justin’s decision and wished him all the best. “I definitely wanted Justin back in the program,� Antulov said. “It was a delicate situation. I would take him back right now if he wanted to come back to the program.�

SPORTS MISSING MEGHAN Three-time Olympic gold-medallist Meghan Agosta-Marciano is not expected to play for Canada at the Four Nations Cup in Kamloops in November. Agosta-Marciano, in the Tournament Capital this week instructing a Future Stars Girls Ice Hockey Camp, told KTW she is taking a nine-month break to pursue a policing career. “I decided to start my career this year, so hopefully I can get hired by the Vancouver Police in the next week or so,” Agosta-Marciano said on Thursday, Aug. 14. “Police academy is nine months. I never thought it would happen this quick, but things just fell into my lap.” The 27-year-old would like to return to the national-team fold in May and wear the Maple Leaf at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in South Korea. Read more about Agosta-Marciano’s decision and the Future Stars camp in KTW on Tuesday, Aug. 19 and online at kamloopsthisweek.com.

The Four Nations Cup, a tournament featuring Canada, the U.S., Sweden and Finland, will run from Nov. 4 to Nov. 8 at Interior Savings Centre. The tournament is considered the third-most-prestigious event in women’s hockey, after the Olympics and the IIHF World Women’s Hockey Championship. Andre Ringuette/IIHF-HHOF Images

Bid to save WolfPack hockey fails A last minute attempt to resurrect the Thompson Rivers University hockey program has fallen short.

A group made up of players, recruits and parents approached athletics director Ken Olynyk shortly after it was announced the program would be discontinued, in hopes of salvaging the season.

“I’m not saying that the hockey program won’t come back in some form in the future,” Olynyk said in a news release.

“But, as it stands right now, any efforts to put a team on the ice for the 2014-2015 B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League season have ceased.”

The program folded on Tuesday, July 29, despite efforts to keep the team afloat for at least one more season. The decision was seemingly unexpected as the team had announced a recruit signing as recently

Antulov has roster holes to fill X From A15

Justin’s break from soccer is one that won’t go unnoticed — he was one of the most gifted players to ever suit up for the Black and Orange.

He was the Pacific Western Athletic Association’s (PacWest) league leader in goals in 2013 with 12 — 35 per cent of the WolfPack’s total goals — and was named the men’s player of the year by both the league and the CCAA. He was also a league all-star and an allCanadian.

In 2010, his first season with the WolfPack, he was named the PacWest’s rookie of the year.

His first NCAA season, 2011, brought a newcomer of the year award. In his sophomore campaign, he was second in scoring on the Clan, helping lead them to the Division 2 quarterfinals.

Now saying goodbye to TRU for the second time, Wallace isn’t sure what’s next for him.

“I loved playing at TRU. I loved going to school there, so it just sucks how everything panned out,” Justin said.

JOHN ANTULOV: TRU soccer coach would welcome Wallace back.

“Hopefully it will be for the best.”

Antulov has spent his summer recruiting to fill voids — almost to the point of rebuilding the program, he said — and is happy with the new crop of talent coming in.

It will be up to a new mixture of youth and experience to lead the club, which starts the season with 10 returners — goalkeeper Travis Froehlich, defenders Corey Wallis and Stefan Shaw, forwards Oriol Torres, Dion Gouldsborough and Jason Staiger and midfielders Mike Harvey, Brandon Mendez, Jacob Kaay and Nathan McNeilly.

“That’s a tough void to fill, both him [Justin] and Kyle Fertile as well,” Antulov said.

“Losing two very offensive-minded players like that is mas-

sive — you can’t really replace guys like that.

“We’ll have to look to do it by committee.”

While Fertile and the Wallaces are some of the WolfPack’s more significant losses, they’re not the only ones. The team has said goodbye to a group of 2013 starters, many of whom were integral to the team’s regular-season title and national silver medal.

Fertile, Braeden Burrows, Sebastian Gardner, Ashley Raynes, Kyle Logan, Joseph Rose and Connor Hawley are among the departed.

A host of reasons led to the loss of the other veterans. Burrows is also a trades student, so he suffered the same fate as Nolan. Fertile is working a co-op job in Armstrong.

Raynes, Logan, Rose and Hawley were academically ineligible.

Gardner played out his final year of eligibility in 2013 and now joins the club as an assistant coach.

The WolfPack will open their inaugural season in the Canada West at Hillside Stadium on Friday, Sept. 12, against the Trinity Western University Spartans.

Justin Wallace fires one on goal for the TRU WolfPack in October at Hillside Stadium. TRU sports information

Don Hay walked into the Hal Rogers Centre clubhouse at Albert McGowan Park to a rousing welcomeback ovation from the team’s volunteers on Wednesday, Aug. 13.

The Kamloops Blazers’ head coach led the way with a few words, thanking the helpers for the work they do throughout the year.

“They work all kinds of events, not just hockey, like concerts and other sporting events” said Freda Brown, employed by the Blazers as a co-ordinator of volunteers.

“A lot of them do it for the fellowship, being out with other people, and the camaraderie, getting together with friends.

“So many of them don’t have spouses now and this is there way to get out and be with people and, of course, they enjoy the events as well.”

Season approaching

Brown is looking to add about 15 more volunteers to the active stable of 70 already on the team, with spots available for ushers and ticket-takers.

Volunteers must be at least 19.

To apply, call Brown at 250-374-1957.

General manager Craig Bonner, associate coach Mark Ferner and players Chase Souto, Matt Revel, Nathan Looysen, Brady Gaudet and Mitch Friesen spent time mingling with the volunteers over dinner on Wednesday.

Whitehead has high expectations for Stone and Ellison, both 14, heading into the event.

The summer swim-

ming championships will continue until Sunday.

Whitehead is expecting big weekends from all of his swimmers and is excited to see what his little club can do on the big stage. “We get going, we have a lot of fun and we’re in there every day,� the coach said of the summer swim season. “So it’s a short, hard season but we get a lot out of it. “I’m so proud of them and happy to see where they’re going to go.�

Bernie Kirkey was surprised when he learned of a golf tournament created in his son’s memory.

His son, Ben, died at age 25 in May 2012 after a tragic accident at Scuitto Lake.

He was attending a stag party when he was accidentally shot.

He later died while travelling to meet an ambulance.

Since then, friends and family have come together each year for the Michael Benjamin Kirkey Memorial Golf Tournament. “I’m impressed that his friends have done this,� Kirkey said. “Really, really proud.�

The third annual event will be held on Saturday, Aug. 16, and has sold out. “It looks like it’s gathering a life of its own,� Kirkey said.

It’s a reunion of sorts for those who lost Ben, but also raises money for Lyme Disease research.

Kirkey said Ben had the disease in 2009, with debilitating symptoms that could not be diagnosed locally.

Kirkey did the research himself before eventually finding help from a specialized doctor in Hope.

Ben’s blood sample was shipped to a lab in California and the family received answers two weeks later. “The local doctors didn’t know what his symptoms were.

They didn’t understand much about Lyme Disease,� Kirkey said.

After sixty days of antibiotics, Ben was “100 per cent better,�

Kirkey said. “To me, the proof is in the treatment.�

Last year, the golf tournament raised between $3,000 and $3,500, with the money donated to the Dr. E. Murakami Centre for Lyme Research, Education and Assistance.

This year, however, some of the proceeds will go to a local

family currently in the U.S. receiving treatment for the disease.

The Hrychiw family has raised awareness about the difficulties of the disease and lack of treatment available in Canada after their 10-year-old quadruplets contracted the disease.

Kirkey said he heard about them through a friend. “It’s a real shame that we have a disease that is apparently endemic to B.C. and our medical system isn’t prepared,� Kirkey said. “Almost everyone has had to be diagnosed in the U.S. and treated in the U.S. at their own expense.� “We need a really big push to get this disease under control.�

This year’s tournament is at the Kamloops Golf and Country Club.

Prize, donor and sponsorship opportunities are still available.

For more information, search for the tournament on Facebook.

JIM MILLIGAN 1941 to 2014

We remember and celebrate the life of Jim who passed away peacefully at home with family by his side on August 9, 2014 after a two and a half year battle with cancer. He is survived by his ever loving wife of 46 years, Ann, and his son, Stephen (Caila).

Jim was born in Lisburn, Northern Ireland but lived in Belfast until 1966 when he immigrated to Canada. Initially, Jim lived in Vancouver, but a short time later he moved to Toronto for three and a half years. It was in Toronto where Jim married the love of his life Ann; who had also emigrated from Northern Ireland. In 1970, they moved to Vancouver where they lived for a year; before Jim’s work for the Federal Department of Transport required them to move to Sandspit on the Queen Charlotte Islands. Their son, Stephen, was born in Queen Charlotte City in 1972. In the fall of 1975, Jim’s career brought him to Kamloops where he remained for the rest of his life.

Jim’s lifelong hobby was “Ham Radio�. He received his first call sign at the age of 16. His favourite form of communicating across the air waves was by morse code. Through morse code, Jim made many connections that spanned the globe.

Jim was a long-time member of the Kamloops Amateur Radio Club.

Jim’s other passion was for the outdoors. Shortly after moving to Kamloops, he was a founding member of the Kamloops Mountaineering Club. Jim and Ann loved to hike, bike and canoe together. Jim frequently returned to the Queen Charlotte Islands to kayak along its pristine shores.

Jim’s ashes will be spread in the Rockies at some future date.

An informal get-together to celebrate Jim’s life will be held Tuesday, August 19, 2014 at the Calvary Community Church in the Fireside Room at 2:00 p.m.

CHARLIE SPICER Charlie passed away on Monday, August 11, 2014 with his children at his side at hospice. He leaves behind his three children – Paul (Bev), Jane (Curt), and Neil. He is survived by his partner Mary Tober and her children (Kelly, Corry, Susan), grandchildren and great-grandson Quinton.

He also leaves his four granddaughters, Haley and MacKenzie Winters and Paige and Kaya Jacobsen and former spouse Evelyn. In England he leaves his two sisters Mary Hughes and Chris Bennett and in South Africa his brother John.

Charlie was born in Ireland but his family moved to Oxford, England at a very young age. After finishing school he completed his apprenticeship to become a plumber. He moved to Canada with Evelyn and the three children in 1970. After one year in Winnipeg, Charlie found work in Kamloops and has spent most of his time in this town. He worked at Tranquille, at City of Kamloops and worked on maintenance at Pine Grove until his retirement.

He always found friends and activities wherever he lived.

He loved cricket, which was a part of his life in England, Winnipeg and Kamloops. He was involved with coaching youth soccer and darts for many years and was a proud member of the Moose, Eagles, Legion and Army & Navy Clubs.

A celebration of life will be held Sunday, August 17, 2014 at 11:00 am at Cottonwood Manor, 730 Cottonwood Ave, Kamloops, BC. The family is grateful for the care and affection shown by the Kamloops Hospice.

May 17, 1982 – August 10, 2014 We who care so much must break the terrible news that on Sunday, August 10, 2014 Micheal Joseph Bourget was taken from us. He is survived by his wife Melissa, his sons Seth, Wyatt and Arden, his parents Carolyn and Keith Gordey and Raymond Bourget; brothers Edmond and Brad; nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and friends too numerous to mention.

Micheal, a Kamloops boy born and bred, graduated from Brock Secondary in 2000 before moving on to Mechanics training at S.A.I.T. He achieved a lifelong goal of becoming a Journeyman Mechanic at T.R.U. four years later. While Mike was in his last year of training he met his wife Melissa and fulfilled another lifelong wish to have a family of his own.

Melissa, Seth, Wyatt, Arden, (Diesel the family Doberman) and Mike’s 92’ FatBoy would be the family. Micheal had never been happier. When he wasn’t with his family, Micheal (Mouse to his mom) worked at Highland Valley Copper, went fishing with his buddies, rode said FatBoy and would hoist a couple of Kokanee if the time was right.

Anyone who knew Mike knew that music was what made Micheal “tick�. He started doing music by playing his guitar and singing Kurt Cobain songs, then went on to write numerous original songs of his own, many of which are on YouTube.

All of us who dearly loved Micheal will celebrate his life and accomplishments on Saturday, August 16, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. in the Schoening Funeral Chapel, 513 Seymour Street.

Jays swept in Seattle, make way to Chicago Group says docs link Bills,Toronto

By Josh Liebeskind ASSOCIATED PRESS

SEATTLE — R.A. Dickey knew it wouldn’t be easy for Toronto to come into Seattle and find success against a talented Mariners pitching staff. He just didn’t know how tough it was going to be.

Kendrys Morales hit a tworun home run in the first inning and starter Hisashi Iwakuma pitched into the seventh to help the Mariners beat the Blue Jays 2-0 on Wednesday, Aug. 13, completing a sweep of the threegame series. “We faced some really good pitching the last several days,’’ Dickey said. “We knew as a staff it was going to be tough and we’d have to keep the opponent to minimal damage.’’ Toronto is back in action today (Aug. 15) against the White Sox in Chicago. Game time is 5:10 p.m.

Although Dickey (9-12) did a

fine job keeping the Mariners from breaking the series finale wide open — limiting them to two runs and seven hits with four walks in six innings — the Blue Jays couldn’t overcome Morales’ home run. Toronto lost for the ninth time in 12 games, dropping it three games behind Seattle and Detroit for the American League’s second wild card spot.

Morales’ homer was his second in three at-bats, a span that started Tuesday night. He has four extra-base hits in three games, twice what he recorded in his first 15 games with the club since being acquired from Minnesota. “Morales hits us for some reason,’’ said Blue Jays manager

John Gibbons of the Seattle slugger, who is 11 for 25 with two home runs and six RBI against Toronto this year.

Iwakuma (11-6) failed to finish seven innings for the first time in eight starts, but the right-hander still struck out five without issuing a walk in 6 2-3 innings.

Three relievers bridged the gap to closer Fernando Rodney, who earned his 35th save in 38 chances. The Mariners won eight of nine on their homestand. “It was a good homestand, our guys should be proud of it,’’ Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said.

The Mariners threatened on numerous occasions to extend the lead, but Dickey was able to strand at least two runners three separate times. The third proved to be the veteran’s greatest escape act, perhaps, as he avoided a one-out runners-onthe-corners situation by inducing a double-play grounder.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BUFFALO, N.Y. — A Buffalo Bills fan group uncovered documents that suggest a Toronto-based prospective-ownership group has plans to relocate the franchise north of the border.

In a release, the Buffalo Fan Alliance identified announcements referring to Rogers Communications consultant Roger Rai as part of a group “attempting to acquire and move the Buffalo Bills to Toronto.�

Rai told the Associated Press on Wednesday, Aug. 13, he’s not involved with the group’s ownership bid.

The alliance, made up of fans, former Bills players and business leaders, said the references made in the documents “would seem to cast further doubt on the credibility� of the

Toronto group’s assurances to keep the Bills in Buffalo.

Rogers is part of a Bills’ prospectiveownership group including Jon Bon Jovi and Larry Tanenbaum, chairman of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment.

One of the references to Rai was included in an announcement issued in July by Marketwired, a Toronto-based press release distribution company.

Another was included in Rai’s biography published in a public filing in January announcing a special meeting to approve Primary Petroleum’s merger with Keek Inc. Rai is listed as Keek’s vice-president of business development. The announcements also to refer to Rai as someone who “assists in sports ownership affairs of Rogers Communications and was responsible for the acquisition of the Toronto Blue Jays,� which the company purchased in 2000.

Ex-Tory staffer guilty of robocall election fraud

By Michael Oliveira CANADIAN PRESS

GUELPH, Ont. — Former Conservative party staffer Michael Sona has been convicted of trying to prevent voters from casting ballots during the 2011 federal election.

Sona, 25, was the only person charged in what has come to be known as the robocalls scandal, in which automated calls were set up to target voters in Guelph — most of them Liberal supporters — with misleading instructions on where to vote.

After a long recounting of the trial’s testimony, Superior Court Justice Gary Hearn said he was convinced “well beyond a reasonable doubt’’ Sona was guilty.

Sona hung his head and family members fought back tears as Hearn explained his decision.

Sona was “very disappointed’’ by the ruling, said his lawyer, Norm Boxall.

Croft Michaelson, the Crown prosecutor, said he was pleased with result, adding “we’ll be making very forceful submissions on sentencing in October.’’

He added: “If there was any political party that actively participated in a scheme to endeavour to prevent electors from voting . . . that would be very serious conduct.’’

“Anyone who engages in this kind of conduct, where there’s evidence that they endeavoured to prevent electors from voting, I think based on what took place in court today and what you’ve seen us do in relation to this case, I would expect they would be prosecuted.’’

Edmonton-based technology company RackNine was hired to make the calls to some 6,700 Guelph phone numbers by a customer who used fake names, including the pseudonym Pierre

Poutine.

Boxall elected not to call any witnesses at the trial and argued the Crown failed to definitively prove Sona was involved in the scheme.

Hearn disagreed, saying the evidence proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Sona “was involved in the scheme very actively.’’

Boxall and Michaelson both told Hearn during their closing arguments they believed more than one person was involved in the plot.

Conservative party spokesman Cory Hann was quick to react to the verdict.

“Voter suppression is extremely serious and those responsible should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. That’s why we reached out to Elections Canada when we heard of wrongdoing in Guelph and did all we could to assist them,’’ Hann said in a statement.

“As we’ve said all along, the Conservative party ran a clean and ethical campaign.’’

However, the Council of Canadians maintained the verdict doesn’t exonerate the Conservative party.

The advocacy group continues to believe higher-ranking Conservative officials were likely involved in a cross-country conspiracy to suppress votes in dozens of ridings.

“We have a few clues about one minor player but we still don’t have the ringleaders,’’ Maude Barlow, the council’s national chairperson, said in a statement.

“Remember, this didn’t just happen in Guelph.’’

The council backed a court challenge last year of election results in six ridings, in which Federal Court Judge Richard Mosley concluded the

Conservative party’s massive voter-identification data base was “the most likely source’’ of information used to make misleading robocalls to electors “in ridings across the country.’’ Mosley nevertheless refused to annul the results in the six ridings.

However, Yves Cote, commissioner of elections, dismissed the nationwide conspiracy theory in April, after wrapping up a threeyear investigation into some 2,500 complaints about robocalls from voters in 261 ridings. He concluded there was insufficient evidence to believe an offence was committed in any riding other than Guelph.

Court heard testimony from a number of Sona’s former colleagues, who said he spoke of wanting to employ some underhanded campaigning tactics before the election and then bragged about launching the calls afterwards.

The Crown’s star witness was former friend and co-worker Andrew Prescott, who testified against Sona in exchange for an immunity agreement.

He told court he heard Sona jubilantly declare, “It’s working,’’ on the morning of election day.

Prescott said Sona later toasted Stephen Harper’s majority win by giving “thanks to Pierre’’ — an apparent reference to the pseudonym used to order the calls.

But both the Crown and defence said Prescott wasn’t an entirely credible witness. During his closing remarks, Michaelson told Hearn that Prescott’s testimony “should probably be approached with caution.’’

Indeed, in the decision, Hearn said he largely rejected the testimony of Prescott, but found the totality of other evidence proved beyond a reasonable doubt.

Confusing sanctions regime irks industry

By Jim Bronskill

CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The tangle of lists that Canadian banks and other financial institutions rely on to sanction terrorists, tyrants and other troublemakers are confusing and often out of date, industry players are telling the federal government.

The complaints have prompted a federal plan to create a single,

comprehensive roster of targeted people and organizations, records released under the Access to Information Act showed.

Businesses currently use 19 different lists from five domestic and international websites to ensure the freezing or seizure of assets linked to certain individuals and entities in countries including Iran, North Korea and, most recently, Russia and Ukraine.

Although governments and the United Nations have applied various types of sanctions for many years, they have only become a significant factor in the Canadian financial sector since the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States, the federal government said.

That has added up to more work for banks, credit unions and others working in global finance.

Private-sector members of a federal advisory committee on anti-money laundering measures and terrorist financing have expressed concerns about the burdensome requirements involved in monitoring lists of hundreds of names.

At a May 2013 committee meeting, the Finance Department circulated a draft plan to address grievances including:

• Lack of a consolidated, downloadable list of people and entities subject to targeted financial sanctions in Canada; • Concerns with the lists issued by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions; • A need for “systematic and timely’’ updates to all current lists; • Numerous reporting requirements of fro-

Call for review of convictions obtained in ‘Mr. Big’ stings

By Abdul Latheef CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — The federal government should conduct a systemic review of convictions secured through the so-called Mr. Big police sting operations following a landmark ruling by the Supreme Court of Canada, said advocates for the wrongly convicted people.

The court ruled that confessions obtained through the investigative technique — which involves undercover officers recruiting a suspect to a fictitious criminal organization while posing as gangsters

in order to extract a confession to a crime — tend to be unreliable and must be presumed inadmissible in court.

The Association in Defence of the Wrongly Convicted said that in light of the July 31 ruling, the Justice Ministry should set up a working group to conduct a retroactive review of hundreds of convictions.

The group’s founder, James Lockyer, said the process could take a couple of years to complete, but it’s worth doing.

“If we have a substantial number of people who’ve been wrongly convicted sitting in jail, then we should work to

find and identify them,’’ he said in a news conference.

The association estimates that more than 350 Mr. Big investigations been conducted across Canada between the early 1990s, when the technique was first used in British Columbia, and the late 2000s.

A spokeswoman for Justice Minister Peter MacKay said the review was unnecessary because the Criminal Code already provides a mechanism to remedy injustice.

“The Supreme Court of Canada’s recent decision does not prohibit this investigative technique, but simply refines

Princeton University professor first Canadian to win Fields Medal, math’s highest honour A Canadian-born mathematician has won a prestigious award often described as the Nobel Prize in math.

Princeton University math professor Manjul Bhargava, who was born in Hamilton, received the Fields Medal in Seoul.

The medal, which is math’s highest honour, was first awarded in 1936 and was named after another Canadian mathematician — John Charles Fields, who also born in Hamilton.

It is managed by the International Mathematical Union, who say Bhargava is being recognized “for

developing powerful new methods in the geometry of numbers.’’

The Fields Medal and a cash prize of US$13,700 are awarded every four years to mathematicians 40 years or younger.

Four people received it this year, including Maryam Mirzakhani of Iran — the first female recipient — Artur Avila, a Brazilian-born professor at the Institute of Mathematics of Jussieu in Paris and Martin Hairer of the University of Warwick in England.

Consider Clover: Reasons Why Traditional Lawns are Becoming Less Desirable • In Kamloops, rainfall is not enough to keep grass green and the cost of watering grass can be an issue.

• Many people do not have the time or energy to maintain a lawn that needs to be cut and watered frequently.

• There are environmental concerns surrounding pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and lawn mower emissions.

Advantages of White Clover • Stays green all summer with less water than grass.

• Grows well in poor soil.

• Immune to "dog spots".

• Never needs nitrogen application as it creates its own.

• Can be mowed, or left to grow.

• Out competes most weeds.

• Attracts beneficial insects.

• Is inexpensive.

Four unique voices, influences

Quartette celebrates more than two decades of harmony, coming to Kamloops

By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

I

MAGINE A KITCHEN table with a cassette recorder and, maybe, a smartphone or two.

Sitting around that table are four of the country’s best female singers — Cindy Church, Caitlin Hanford, Gwen Swick and Sylvia Tyson — harmonizing and recording and listening and enjoying.

“I think that’s one of the great things about being in Quartette,” said Swick of the band the four of them created.

“Sitting around the table and working out our harmony parts, recording them on iPhones or old-fashioned cassette players.

“When you listen back, even though they are work tapes, they always sound so lovely to me, so real.”

Quartette is headed west to B.C. for a short tour — Vancouver, Oliver and Kamloops — and Swick said she’s eager to get here and experience the venue booked for the four of them on Sunday, Aug. 17, at Tranquille Farm Fresh in its sunken gardens at 4600 Tranquille Rd. “I looked it up on the Internet and it just sounds so wonderful,” Swick said from her home in Elora, Ont. The show might be a lot like that harmonizing around the table — four unique, distinctive and well-known voices coming together, sharing the lead on the songs and continuing to celebrate the group’s 20th anniversary, a milestone it reached last year.

Quartette is performing an outdoor concert at Tranquille Farm Fresh in the sunken gardens on Sunday, Aug. 17.

To mark it, the four released Rocks and Roses, a double CD with some new music and a collection of past hits.

Was it hard to choose from a discography that goes back so far?

“You bet,” Swick said, “but we’re very democratic so it was two, two, two and two and then something all of us agreed on.”

The release, which includes a retrospective disc, includes songs like Arkansas Travelogue, I’ll Keep You in My Heart, The Circle and possibly the best rendition of O Canada you’ll ever hear.

“We’re so familiar with each other and how we work and who’s good at what,” Swick said, “that, at this stage, we just love to go out and sing. We love the music, we love the people we play

for and we love each other.”

Since coming together and making music, Quartette has been all about the harmony and critics and listeners have loved it.

The group’s origins go back to a showcase of Canadian women songwriters in Toronto that led Tyson, Church, Handford and, at that time, Colleen Peterson to create the foursome.

When Peterson died in 1996, Swick joined the group, which travels with a three-piece band as well as the foursome, their guitars and, for Swick, a banjo she got last year and which she’s been bringing out for a couple of songs in the shows.

Each voice is unique, as are their musical influences.

Church comes from the country’s roots scene, grow-

ing up on the music of Hank Snow, Kitty Wells and Jean Shepard.

She founded Great Western Orchestra and performs with Lunch at Allens (with Murray McLachlan, Ian Thomas and Marc Jordan) and in a Hoagy Carmichael tribute with Joe Sealy and George Koller.

Hanford partnered with Chris Witeley in the late 1970s into the 1990s, performing music with overtones of Western swing and bluegrass.

She’s also in the rootsbased trio the Marigolds with Swick and Suzie Vinnick.

Swick was a member of the folk trio Tamarack in the 1990s and now spends much of her time writing and arranging music for choirs and for soundtracks of films including Never Talk

to Strangers, Heater and Sleeping Dogs.

Tyson’s career goes back the farthest, to the 1960s when she was one half of Ian and Sylvia, recording 13 albums and achieving international prominence in folk music.

She’s branched out into other areas, helping found the Canadian Songwriters’ Hall of Fame, hosting radio and TV shows for the CBC, creating her own record label and helping to write And Then I Wrote, a book on songwriting.

Doors open for the show at 1 p.m. on Sunday, with the four women taking the stage at about 2:30 p.m.

Tickets are $29 and are available at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., by calling 250-374-5483 or online at kamloopslive.ca.

Cafe has new scene for brewing beans

By Jessica Wallace STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

HEN CONNIE Niemela signed the cheque to purchase The Grind, she didn’t know how to make a cappuccino or an Americano.

“I drank coffee, but just coffee,” the owner said with a laugh.

Three-and-a-half years later, Niemela is serving up Americanos along with her favourite — medium roast — at the cafe’s new downtown location in Kamloops.

The Grind’s new building is shared by several Fourth Avenue businesses and is home to the former Kamloops Fire Hall No. 1., on the corner of Lansdowne Street.

It is, perhaps, historically suitable for the iconic downtown coffee shop because it replaced the first woodenframed fire station on Victoria Street to accommodate a larger fleet of fire trucks, staff and volunteers.

The cafe reopened in July after moving from its former location at 476 Victoria St. and is settling into a bigger kitchen, open layout and all of the history.

“I had a man who came in here and said ‘I used to work here,’” Niemela said.

He pointed out to her the locations of former desks and offices of the old fire hall — the space now dedicated to a large kitchen, tables and chairs.

Niemela said The Grind’s new

Connie Niemela serves up a fresh cup of her favourite medium roast coffee at The Grind’s new location, 100-125 Fourth Ave. Andrea Klassen/KTW

one-level space is more suitable for the live performances the cafe has come to be known for throughout the years.

“The top was too small and the bottom was too small,” Niemela said of the old venue, adding it was just “too much” with lot maintenance.

Other than the new building, however, “everything’s the same,” Niemela said.

The seemingly new coffee shop shares the same character from multiple locations before.

The classic orange, yellow and black sign sits above the new entertainment area and the usual chalkboard menu is where it should be.

A young musician is performing cover music for patrons.

The clientele as distinctive as the artwork on the walls and the homemade pickles for sale in the front entrance.

“A true mix and a lot of long-term, dedicated, that have been coming 22 years,” Niemela said.

Niemela describes the vibe as eclectic, from free homemade soup offered for live music to the furnishings.

“That was made by one of our long-time customers,” she said pointing to the wooden creamer station.

Niemela is looking forward to opening a patio out front and bringing back the musical jam nights.

Top Canadian Band to Headline Labour Day Weekend Concert Coming oě the release of their new album ‘High Noon’ this July, Canadian alternative rock band, Arkells, hit the top of the iTunes Canada chart.

Performing live at Sun Peaks during the Summer Send-oě free concert weekend August 30 and 31, guests can expect to hear a variety of material from their three studio albums including new hits like ‘Come to Light’ and past favourites like ‘Whistleblower’ and ‘Oh, the Boss Is Coming!’. These multiple Juno award winners will be joined by Vancouver based alternative rock/pop band, Hey Ocean!, and alternative country band EllioĴ Brood, hailing from Toronto. In its usual concert format, Sun Peaks will be using the Sunbeam ski run as a natural amphitheatre and reminds concert goers to bring their own chairs.

Child psychology research often to increase sales, compromises future TRU professor Mervyn Nicholson reviews Joel Bakan’s book Childhood Under Seige

By Mervyn Nicholson SPECIAL TO KTW

W

HAT DO the following have in

common?

Toys (especially rubbery ones); screen prints on children’s clothing; kitchen floors; backpacks and related things like pencil cases and lunch bags; flip-flops, shoes, plastic sandals, clogs; electronic gadgets; household infrastructure (e.g., shower curtains, doors, window frames); care products, (especially those with scent), including soaps, shampoos, deodorants and cosmetics.

Answer: Phthalates!

Phtalates? What are phthalates?

Hold on a moment.

CBC recently reported a warning about pthalates, headlined Pregnant Women Should Avoid Bisphenol A, Phthalates, Doctors Say. According to the CBC: “Phthalates are found in air fresheners and dish soap, and have been linked to obesity and miscarriages.”

Plus other not-sonice things.

So, what are they?

Phthalates are industrial chemicals routinely found in children’s living spaces.

In the words of

UBC Law Professor Joel Bakan (author of Childhood under Siege), phthalates “interfere with hormonal processes necessary for normal development of reproductive systems, particularly in males, and are linked to a series of abnormalities in animals and humans.”

He said those include: Demasculinization disorders like undescended testicles, a shorter distance between anus and genitals, hypospadias, testicular tumors later in life and, possibly, declining sperm counts in adult males.

There has been a huge increase in industrial chemicals added to our environment.

Is it possible that they are changing not just our environment but us too — especially growing children?

“Over the last several decades,” writes Bakan, “asthma rates in the United States jumped nearly 50 per cent (so that the disease now affects one out of every 10 children and is the leading cause of childhood hospitalizations and school absences).

“Childhood leukemia and brain cancer (the most common childhood cancers) increased by more than 40 per cent.

“Autism rates grew by 1,000 per cent.

“Babies were born on average a week earlier and 30 per cent more of them were born premature.

“Girls reached puberty at significantly earlier ages and the number of boys born with serious genital abnormalities doubled.

“Developmental disorders — mental disabilities, and learning and behavioral problems chief among them — rose as well during this period.”

Remember thalidomide, the sedative once marketed to pregnant women for morning sickness?

It may have relieved morning sickness but the side effect was serious limb deformations.

Thalidomide is an old story, of course, but Bakan noted something that was news to me: “The deformities occurred only in babies whose mothers took the drug during days 20 to 24 of the first month of their pregnancies.”

It means it’s not simply chemicals in the environment but complex issues of timing (when/how they are absorbed) and of how they interact with a myriad of other chemicals — very little is known about all this.

Bakan shows how

inadequate safety regulations are.

Meticulously documented by a Law professor who is a terrific writer, Children under Siege is pretty shocking, not just about chemicals, but about the multiple ways that children are targeted for monetary advantage.

Most research on child psychology is used for the purpose of increasing sales, how to plug into a child’s psyche to sell them.

Bakan is especially revealing on the impact of video games on children.

He has some ideas.

Childhood under Siege is one of those books that everybody who has children, or who wants children, should read.

Or, heck, anyone who was a child.

Everybody, in short.

You might be surprised by the ways children are under siege for monetary advantage,

rather than being treated as what they are, infinitely precious.

Our future.

GLOBAL VIEWS

The Middle East: New strategic realities

United States and others need new policy and allies among changing environment

A

FTER HALF a century of stasis, there are big new strategic realities in the Middle East, but people are having trouble getting their heads around them.

Take the United States, for example.

Hillary Clinton, the secretary of state in President Barack Obama’s first administration, is still lamenting her former boss’s failure to send more military help to the moderate rebels in Syria.

“The failure to do that left a big vacuum, which the jihadists have now filled,” Clinton told The Atlantic magazine.

She’s actually claiming that early and lavish military aid to the right people would have overthrown Syria’s dictator, Bashar al-Assad, while freezing the alQaeda/ISIS jihadis out.

If only.

Clinton travels a lot, but she never really leaves the Washington bubble.

There are intelligence officials there who would gladly explain to her that almost all the desirable weaponry sent to the moderates in Syria ends up in the hands of the jihadis, who either buy it or just take it.

But, she wouldn’t listen. It falls outside

GWYNNE DYER World WATCH the consensus.

Yet, that really is how ISIS acquires most of its heavy weapons.

The most striking case of that was in early June, when the Iraqi army, having spent $41.6 billion in the past three years on training its troops and equipping them with American heavy weapons, ran away from Mosul and northern Iraq and handed a good quarter of them over to ISIS. In fact, that’s the weaponry is now enabling ISIS to conquer further territory in eastern Syria and in Iraqi Kurdistan. Which, in turn, is why Obama has now authorised air strikes in Iraq to stop ISIS troops from overrunning Irbil, the Kurdish capital.

By now, he has also presumably abandoned his proposal from last June to spend $500 million to train and equip appropriately vetted Syrian opposition fighters. (They were then

supposedly going to overthrow Assad with one hand while crushing the jihadis with the other.)

But, Obama has not yet dropped the other shoe.

A lot of people have not dropped their other shoes yet.

They all know the whole strategic environment has changed.

They realize that may require new policies and even new allies. Changing horses in midstream is always a tricky business, so the realignments are only slowly getting underway, but you can see where they are going.

The proclamation of the Islamic State in eastern Syria and northwestern Iraq has huge implications for every country in the Middle East, but for most of the great powers — Russia, the United States, China, India, Britain, France and Germany — it is almost the only thing they still care about in the region.

They all have Muslim minorities of their own and they all want the Islamic State stopped or, at the very least, isolated, contained and quarantined.

That means both the Syrian and Iraqi governments must survive and they will probably get enough outside help to

do so (although it will take time for the U.S. and the major European powers to switch sides and openly back Assad).

The army of the Iraqi Kurds might hold its own against the Islamic state if it had better weapons, so it will get them (although Baghdad will not welcome a more powerful Kurdish army).

Containing the Islamic state to the north will be a simpler task, because Iran and Turkey are very big, well-organized states whose populations are relatively invulnerable to the ISIS brand of Sunni fundamentalism.

But, to the south of the Islamic state is Saudi Arabia, and that is a country that faces some tough decisions.

The Wahhabi strand of Sunni Islam, Saudi Arabia’s official religion, is very close to the beliefs of the jihadis who now rule the Islamic state to their north.

Much of their financial support and even their weapons have come from Saudi Arabia.

But, the rulers of that kingdom would be extremely unwise to assume that the jihadis regard Saudi Arabia’s current political arrangements as legitimate or that gratitude

would restrain them.

Nor will the longstanding U.S. alliance with Saudi Arabia endure if Saudi ties to the jihadis are not broken.

Riyadh will have to decide — and it will be aware that its oil is no longer so vital to the United States that it can have it both ways.

The Iranian-U.S. rapprochement will continue and the issue of Iran’s alleged nuclear weapons ambitions will be settled amicably despite Israel’s protests. Indeed, Israel

may come under irresistible U.S. pressure to stop whacking the Palestinians or the Lebanese Shias every couple of years, stop the settlement programme, and get on with the two-state deal.

Washington would very much like Israel to stop alienating the people it needs as allies.

Further afield, General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi’s new regime in Egypt can count on strong American support and may even be encouraged by Washington to intervene

militarily in Libya and shut down the Islamist militias there.

Tunisia will be the only remaining flower of the Arab Spring, although there has also been a certain amount of progress in Morocco.

But, in the heartland of the Arab world, war will flourish and democracy will not.

WANDERING IN WONDER

By Rick Millikan SPECIAL TO KTW

“

travelwriterstales.com

WELCOME TO THE Dominican Republic and La Romana. The mill opposite your cruise ship inspired our city’s name.

“We first exported sugar to Rome, or Roma . . . so our city became La Romana,” said our tour-bus guide Miguel.

“See those pleasant homes? Romana Company provides these to many of its 18,000 workers.

The mill and cattle ranches once supported the city, but La Romana has blossomed into a resort area.

“And many, like you, go to explore our Cave of Wonders,” Miguel said.

Beyond the bustling city,

emerald-green trees, brush and fields of grass cover a rolling countryside.

Within half an hour, we stand in the interpretation centre of Cueva de las Marvillas — Cave of Wonders.

A huge wall mural depicts its early Taino settlement. Native gardeners tend manioc — starchy edible roots — and nicotina, leafy tobacco plants.

We see that, while others dance and cook, their religious leader, the shaman, sits cross-legged smoking.

Nearly 1,000 years ago, we learn such Taino shamans used this cave for religious rites, most often for funerals.

Endemic vegetation lines the concrete pathway outside.

“This tree’s bark creates a Viagra-like tea. This next tree’s black nest of termites was brewed to cure colds,” Miguel notes and then points out a shrub.

“Tainos brewed its spiky leaves to induce abortions.

After Columbus arrived, mothers refused to give birth to children who would become Spanish slaves.”

The path descended downward to a small, inconspicuous cave entrance.

A group of boy scouts discovered this cave in 1926.

Inside, indirect lighting enhances soaring stalactites and plunging stalagmites.

Everyone gasped at its unexpected airy immensity and dream-like beauty.

“Over thousands of years rainwater seeped slowly downward, creating

acids carving out this 800meter-long limestone cave,” Miguel said.

“Look closely at its formations.”

She points out rock shapes resembling a grey bear, white lion and giant ochre hummingbird, among other animals.

Hearing faint highpitched squeaks and whisper of fluttering wings, we see small bats from dimly lit areas near us.

Several of them land upsidedown above, clinging with others in one of the many small cavities dotting the ceiling.

The last section of the publicly accessible 200 meters encloses over 500 Taino petroglyphs.

Using animal blood and charcoal, Tainos likely used their artwork to converse with the underworld spirits.

These explain aspects of their culture, including their belief in reincarnation.

and his favourite wife.

They’re shown decapitated with wispy spirits released into new bodies.

Into the 25-metre depths, we visited the iguana sanctuary next.

Once considered chicken of the trees and hunted near extinction, the iguana is now protected.

Here, the Dominican Republic’s distinctive rhinoceros iguanas bask safely in sunshine.

These rusty-brown, grey-green adults weigh from five to nine kilograms.

Horned protrusions on snout and head provide males a Jurassic splendor.

Ready to fight over territory and comely females, these large males attack aggressively, biting and ferociously striking foes with their thick tails.

Today, these dinosaurlike lizards swagger about and sprawl languidly inside two large enclosures.

On our return, dark clouds cover the blue skies and pour new life into the already lush countryside.

These torrential rains change La Romana’s city streets into rivers.

As the tropical rains subside, our bus stops at Central Park’s open-air market.

Browsing among stalls of ceramics, local crafts, handrolled cigars, woodcarvings and vibrant paintings of Caribbean life, one vendor

offers thimble fulls of local mamajuana, considered a local remedy for numerous ailments.

This rum-herbal concoction proves tasty and potent.

One Dominican pleaded and grinned.

“It’s a bargain: $150!”

I showed zero interest.

“Okay, $80 for you...”

A bandstand quartet played a button accordion, guiro, metal scrapper, tambora and cajon.

Dressed in red, white and blue, dancers blithely step and whirl.

Life-sized statues of baseball idols lined park sidewalks. Some are posed pitching and batting, while others are catching and sliding into base.

Many represent gifted Dominicans like Filipe Alou, Sammy Sosa and Juan Marichal.

Several had played for La Romana’s Bulls in a baseball stadium passed earlier.

Aboard our Carnival Freedom ship, we sip tea and chat about those honoured baseball players.

Were these famed Dominican athletes merely mill workers’ sons?

Could they be reincarnated Taino warriors?

WORD SCRAMBLE

ANSWER 1: PIONEER ANSWER 2: RIVERSIDE

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:

Rearrange the letters in the word to spell a Kamloops park.

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.

The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
