BENCH BUDDIES Marshall and Elizabeth Gardecki share a quiet moment together on a bench among flowers planted outside the TNRD building in downtown Kamloops.

Married for 66 years, the North Shore residents were visited the weekday Kamloops Farmers’ Market, picking up some freshly made peach scones.

Last Ric’s Grill in Kamloops closes its doors

By Jessica Wallace STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

In the wake of the closure of Ric’s Mediterranean Grill in downtown Kamloops, the Aberdeen location of the restaurant chain has now also closed.

The doors are locked and a sign on the door says the restaurant, located inside the Four Points Sheraton Hotel at 1175 Rogers Way, is closed for renovation.

Hotel staff said the restaurant is owned and managed independently from the hotel.

Attempts by KTW to contact owners of the Ric’s Grill chain — Salil and Sunny Gupta — remain unsuccessful.

However, the former manager of the Aberdeen restaurant told KTW on Tuesday, Aug. 26, that it was the last remaining Ric’s Grill in the chain and that it remained open despite financial turmoil.

Hotel staff told KTW the Aberdeen location closed on Tuesday due to financial problems.

Former general managers of the two Kamloops Ric’s Grill locations shared insight with KTW into financial woes of the

restaurant chain.

(The original story can be read online at kamloopsthisweek.com and in the Thursday, Aug. 28, edition of KTW).

Jeff Mitton, who managed the Aberdeen location for 12 years before he left in June, has filed a notice of claim against Salil, alleging he is owed $60,000 for debts from

M U S I C

S C H E D U L E

January 2013 to May 2014.

There are numerous other lawsuits against Salil listed in the court registry.

Jeff told KTW he is owed for paying the restaurant’s operational costs out of his own pocket, including staff wages.

Jeff’s brother, Steve Mitton, managed the downtown location for 14 years before it closed on Wednesday, Aug. 20, and said he underwent a similar experience, though he said he is out about $15,000.

The two brothers said each of the locations was profitable, but were hampered because the Guptas had control of business bank accounts.

The downtown location opened in 1999 and the Aberdeen location followed in 2000.

The Mitton brothers have assumed the lease of the downtown location in September and are opening their own restaurant, Mittz Kitchen, mid-September.

They say former Ric’s Grill staff will be working with them.

Ric’s Grill restaurants have been closing throughout B.C. and Alberta.

Westsyde Rd - 8th St to Franklin Rd Motorists are advised that extensive road rehabilitation work will take place on Westsyde Rd from 8th St to Franklin Rd from August 18 until mid-October.

Work will take place between 7 am and 5 pm, Monday through Saturday, with the possibility of some evening and/or night work.

Two way directional traffic and transit routes will be maintained throughout the work, however motorists should expect significant delays.

Driveway access to residents and businesses may be temporarily restricted to accommodate construction.

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.

1st Ave & Victoria St Reconstruction 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.

ARE YOU INJURED BECAUSE OF SOMEONE ELSE? Most people associate “person injury” with motor vehicle accidents. While many personal injuries do indeed stem from motor vehicle accidents, Personal Injury Law covers much more. It can also include physical and mental injury, wrongful death caused from slipping or tripping accidents, assault, sexual assault or defective products.

Here’s what Brown is doing for Kamloops Courier competition heats up with UPS’s arrival

By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The iconic brown UPS van — bringing everything from Christmas joy to business deliveries — has arrived in Kamloops.

Executives of the worldwide delivery corporation opened a package centre in the Versatile commercial area on Thursday, Aug 28, that will provide 23 new jobs and add more competition to the local courier market.

The hub will service an area stretching from Tobiano to Salmon Arm and north to Sun Peaks, fed from a central distribution centre in the Lower Mainland.

“We’ve been in Canada for 40 years and B.C. since 1986,” said UPS Canada president Michael Tierney.

“It’s a long time coming.”

While the company has an

existing storefront in Sahali, it had relied on contacted deliveries rather than using its own workforce.

Company officials said the uniformed drivers and box vans — all in traditional brown — will speed up service and cater to the growing world of e-commerce.

UPS will add two other B.C. package centres this year.

The corporation has 395,000 employees in 220 countries.

Tierney said the company expects to expand its workforce in Kamloops as volume grows.

“Online commerce is a huge part of our business and growth,” he said.

“Each year, we see tremendous growth and that will continue.”

While the official opening was Thursday, Kamloops operations supervisor Benson Hui said work to establish the centre

began in April with the laborious task of mapping, criss-crossing the city to establish set routes for efficiency and economy, in addition to, for example, avoiding left-hand turns where possible in order to improve safety.

“We looked at a lot of maps to figure out the area,” he said.

UPS vans typically hit the road at 8 a.m. Trucks arrive from Vancouver between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m.

The corporation will vie for business in the Kamloops area with established corporations, including Purolator, FedEx and Loomis.

UPS has 13 delivery vans based in Kamloops. Officials said the company expects that number to grow to 15 or 18 by Christmas.

The opening comes on UPS’s anniversary. The company was started by founder James Casey in Seattle 107 years ago.

Waterfowl management projects get federal funding Two North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP) projects in the Kamloops region have received funding from the federal government.

Ducks Unlimited Canada will receive $375,000 over five years through the Pacific Coast and Canadian Intermountain Joint Ventures Project.

This project will assist in key planning, data collection, analysis and evaluation activities that form the basis of conservation actions, which include securing, managing and enhancing priority wetlands and associated upland habitats for waterfowl, shorebirds and water birds.

The Grasslands Conservation Council of British Columbia will receive $20,000 this year as part of the priority grasslands analysis methodology for habitat planning and conservation in the Canadian Intermountain Joint Venture.

The council completed the only comprehensive mapping of the grasslands in British Columbia in 2003.

This information is used extensively by Environment Canada and others for species at risk and habitat planning activities.

The goal of the NAWMP is to conserve the continent’s important wetlands and related habitat for the benefit of waterfowl and other wildlife.

“Partnership-based projects like these help to protect wetlands, restore wetland habitats that have been drained and maintain an accurate international inventory of priority wetland areas,” said Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod.

“This successful collaboration helps sustain the habitat of more than 200 bird species and one third of our species at risk in Canada, ensuring a rich biodiversity for generations to come.”

Rancher charged in dog death wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be retried

By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Crown will drop charges against a Bonaparte rancher who shot and killed a neighbourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dog after it chased her cattle.

The decision comes in the wake of a B.C. Supreme Court ruling earlier this month that left little room for a conviction.

Lawyer Alex Janse, who prosecuted the original trial that found Ruth Robinson guilty of the Criminal Code offence of unlawfully killing an animal, said on Thursday, Aug. 28, the Crown will now enter a stay of proceedings.

The decision comes after B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sheri Donegan ruled the original trial judge erred in his application of the Livestock Act â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that Robinson was obliged to consider â&#x20AC;&#x153;other optionsâ&#x20AC;? before shooting the dog.

Donegan overturned the conviction and ordered a new trial â&#x20AC;&#x201D; something the Crown will not pursue.

The B.C. Supreme Court judge also said

Charges against Bonaparte Rancher Ruth Robinson will be stayed after her original trial was overturned in B.C. Supreme Court. She was accused of shooting her neighbourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dog.

Robinson had available the defence of colour of right â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that she believed she was acting lawfully when she levered her .22 rifle, aimed and shot the giant Leonberger that was sniffing at dead fish on the lakeshore, after it chased her cattle.

Robinson called the appeal win â&#x20AC;&#x153;a pretty strong decision,â&#x20AC;? adding the Crown had little option but to fold. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a decision that had to be made for

ranchers. We thought we had a Livestock Act that protected us when shooting a dog is necessary. The first decision ignored that.â&#x20AC;?

Despite the vindication, Robinson said the affair has been costly in legal fees and anxiety over facing criminal charges for something she believed was right. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a rancher protecting her livestock, not a neighbour just shooting dogs.â&#x20AC;?

Kevin Boon,

general manager of B.C. Cattlemenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association, said the B.C. Supreme Court ruling and decision by the Crown to drop the charge comes as a relief to ranchers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This gives us a good, clear definition as to the rights of ranchers to protect their livestock. It [the B.C. Supreme Court ruling] came out and said Ruth was right.â&#x20AC;?

B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Livestock Act gives ranchers the

Robinson testified she felt her cattle, her two border collies â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as well as her own personal safety â&#x20AC;&#x201D; were in danger from Bud, a neighbourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 45-kilogram dog that chased her cattle in a pen.

Following the chase, Bud broke off and went to the lakeshore.

After missing twice, Robinson fired a third shot which struck and killed the young dog.

Robinson also believed Budâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner, neighbour Wayne Beck, was training his newly acquired dog to harass her cattle.

Beck watched the killing through a rifle scope and had earlier fired a warning shot

COVER PAGE STORY

District officials and teachers await deal Education workers left to play waiting game as sides meet

By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Karl deBruijn will spend the Labour Day weekend close to his phone.

The superintendent of the Kamloops-Thompson school district will be waiting to hear if the teachers’ union and the provincial government have finally struck a deal.

Odds are he won’t be alone in the vigil.

“I’ve had some nice, patient emails from people asking, ‘Can you shed some light?’ So I’ve crafted two messages we’ll be sending home,” deBruijn said.

Sometime later today (Aug. 29) — if no tentative agreement has been reached between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA) — deBruijn will use the district’s phonemessaging system to tell families there’s no deal and that he will keep them updated.

DeBruijn is hoping he will instead be sending out his second message — “that school will be opening next week and here’s how it will be done.”

David Komljenovic, president of the KamloopsThompson Teachers’ Association (KTTA), said he’d be surprised if he finds himself waking his two school-aged kids on Tuesday, Sept. 2.

Officially, as a member of the BCTF’s bargaining committee, Komljenovic has to be optimistic a contract will be reached, but he noted there are too many areas where common ground can’t be found.

Teachers are eager to get back into their classrooms, Komljenovic said, and for more reasons than their desire to teach.

Since the strike/lock out began in June, teachers have lost, on average, about $5,000 in salary, he said.

For some families like his, the impact has been greater

because both parents are teachers.

Komljenovic said he knows a large number of KTTA members have taken on other jobs through the summer to help pay their bills.

He said he’s found it tough, but manageable, to go without the two salaries in the summer.

School district administrators, principals, viceprincipals and support staff, however, are proceeding as if class will begin.

DeBruijn, for example, has spent this week visiting schools to determine if they are ready for classes.

“There are a lot of things not finished, but all the schools can physically open,” he said.

For example, one school needed new flooring and supplies in classrooms had to be packed up and moved out, so returning teachers will need to do some unpacking.

And construction in a school office was affected by the picket lines.

“It’s not finished, but it has a desk and a phone and the electronics needed, so it can be used,” deBruijn said.

A former teacher himself and with other teachers in his family, deBruijn said he knows, regardless of the condition classrooms are in when the labour matter is resolved, teachers will work as fast as they can.

“They’ll make it their personal goal to ensure those students have an outstanding year,” he said.

If the strike/lock out continues into the school year, it will have an impact on school sports, an activity that normally would be seeing practices starting to ramp up now, deBruijn said.

DeBruijn will be also watching student registration numbers once school starts because he has already heard from several families they are moving their children to private schools or into other distance-learning institutions.

They weren’t out in full force, but some Kamloops teachers manned picket lines at South Kamloops Secondary school this week. Dave Eagles/KTW

‘This time, it’s different’

By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

David Komljenovic, president of the Kamloops-Thompson Teachers’ Association and a member of the BCTF bargaining team, said there’s a reason the B.C. Liberal government in Victoria has a bumpy ride when bargaining with teachers and nurses.

“There’s no doubt the context is different than with other labour unions,” he said. “Just like with nurses — when you’re looking after people, it’s different.”

Retired teacher Peter Nelson agrees with Komljenovic.

After 33 years in the education system, he is now on the teachers-on-call list for French immersion. He’s also the father of two daughters who teach in the province.

“I’ve been through this [labour unrest and strikes] five times and it always worked out,” Nelson said. “This time, it’s different. This time, we have to take a stand for our students.”

Teena Mangan, a learning-assistance resource teacher (LART), has been in the system for 14 years at seven districts.

She agreed this summer’s strike/lock out has been more emotional and stressful financially, but she maintained she is doing it for the 220 students she and the other LARTs work with at her school.

Mangan said she expects she’ll be walking a picket line for some time to come — and she’s willing to do it.

“I’m tired of government asking us to be ‘in the zone [of affordability].’ We are in the zone when you take out what they illegally stripped from us.”

Mangan is referring to the 2002 decision by then-education minister Christy Clark to remove the teachers’ union ability to bargain class size and composition, putting it into legislation instead.

The action also voided agreements between local unions and school districts relating to work hours, seniority and leaves and removed teacher-to-

Minister urges union to suspend strike VANCOUVER — British Columbia’s education minister is urging the union representing more than 40,000 teachers to ask its members whether they want to suspend their strike and allow classes to start as scheduled next week.

Teachers have been on a full-scale strike since mid-June, though negotiations with the BC Teachers’ Federation have largely been stalled over the summer break, making a delayed start to the school year increasingly likely.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender issued a statement yesterday (Aug. 28) asking the union to consult teachers in the coming days about the

possibility of putting the strike on hold if the two sides agree to enter into mediation.

A day earlier, Fassbender asked the federation and the BC Public School Employers’ Association, which bargains on behalf of the government, to suspend any strikes or lockouts for two weeks while agreeing to mediation.

Fassbender said that would require teachers to agree to delay dealing with potentially expensive contract grievances linked to a recent court case.

Fassbender’s statement on Thursday pointed to union president Jim Iker’s position that any change to the strike would likely

student ratios for special-needs teachers, teacher-librarians and counsellors.

Twice the BCTF successfully argued in court that Clark’s action was a violation of their Charter rights. The matter is being appealed again by the provincial government.

That reality led to the government tabling language this year that would let either side terminate a new contract if they disagreed with the outcome of the appeal.

When asked to comment on rumours talks stopped because the government is insisting on that language, spokesmen for the Ministry of Education said they couldn’t discuss bargaining.

However, they sent KTW an email of a June 16 interview with provincial chief negotiator Peter Cameron alongside Lee Doney, a former deputy minister and now CEO of the Public Sector Employers’ Council, saying the language provides an interim solution while both sides wait for the most-

require a vote from teachers.

“Today, I am asking Mr. Iker and the BCTF leadership to canvass teachers in advance of Sept. 2 on the idea of suspending their pickets if [labour mediator] Vince Ready is engaged in mediation,’’ Fassbender said.

“There are only a few days ahead for Mr. Iker to seek a mandate from teachers on this idea.

“I think parents, students and communities would like to know whether the BCTF is willing to let schools open and allow teachers to work while mediator Vince Ready helps the parties to negotiate an agreement.’’

— Canadian Press

recent appeal to be heard.

June 16 was the day teachers left classes for a study session that was followed the next day by rotating strikes.

During that interview, Cameron said: “This is the piece — I think it’s pretty bold — that we’ve said that if either party doesn’t like the ultimate judicial decision, that party can serve notice to terminate the collective agreement and negotiate it. The only way you can have negotiations in this system is if you terminate the agreement because, otherwise, there’s no dispute-resolution process available to solve disagreements.”

The spokesmen said another stumbling block to a settlement is the reality the BCTF bargaining committee has no professional negotiators on it but, rather, a group of social activists.

Komljenovic laughed when told that — but, in one way, he agreed.

“This is a political strike,” he said.

“But, there’s still a place to compromise.”

Put your name on the ballot and effect change in the city

I

T MAY SEEM LIKE THE local election signs just came down.

In fact, local politicians are now winding up their three-year terms.

The province will again be under sign siege as elections for city councils, school boards and regional districts take place this fall.

Nov. 15 is voting day across B.C. The chit-chat about who is running, who is not running and who should be running is starting to dominate coffee-shop conversations.

Have you ever given it thought?

You know what I mean.

Those times when some local issue got you excited and you thought, “I should run because I’d like to make some changes.”

Followed by, “I would be better than that bunch of idiots!”

And that’s the thing — people who get up the nerve to mount a campaign believe they can do a better job.

This past June, Kamloops council had a photo taken with a Grade 4 class from St. Ann’s Academy.

They were winners of the B.C. Sustainable Energy Association’s Climate Change Showdown.

I had a conversation with Angelina, one of the students.

She asked me, ‘Did you always know you would be this?’

I answered yes because, in truth, I always did know.

Not that I would be a city councillor, but that I would be a person who stood up for what I believed.

I learned early that one voice can

CITY HALL have an impact on change.

In Grade 5, I asked to be a crossing guard.

Those were the students with orange coats and stop signs helping students to safely cross the street.

My teacher told me that only boys could be crossing guards.

If you know me, you’ll know I was not about to accept that nonsense.

I went to the principal, who told me there was nothing he could do because it was school-board policy.

I wrote a letter to the school board, explaining what a stupid policy it was.

Apparently, the board agreed because, several weeks later, there I was on the street, proudly wearing an orange coat and holding a stop sign.

That was 50 years ago and I have remained a less-than-quiet voice of change ever since.

If you are a political junkie, have a passion for Kamloops or believe you would make good decisions, then consider running.

I’ve had many different careers and being a councillor is one of the

most interesting ones.

There are times when I’ve thought it was a thankless job but, then again, I’ve thought that about all my jobs.

You do need to have thick skin and learn not to let things get to you.

Nomination packages are available and candidates have until Oct. 10 to file the papers.

Previously, local terms for office were three years but, starting with this election, the terms will be four years.

The change to a longer term is believed to give opportunity for more efficient operations and be less of a financial burden on taxpayers.

The City of Kamloops has budgeted $126,000 for November’s election.

That would equate to $42,000 per year for a three-year term and only $31,500 per year for a four-year term.

For someone thinking about tossing their hat into the political ring, a four-year term means serious consideration about how being on council would impact their home and work life, as well as their finances.

A flexible schedule is a must as councillors need an average of 25 hours a week to adequately do the job.

Of course, you will have already known this if this is the kind of person you are.

See you on the campaign trail.

Tina Lange is a Kamloops city councillor. She can be reached at tlange@kamloops.ca. Columns from council members appear monthly in KTW and will continue after the Nov. 15 election.

Tap that thirst and leave bottle on shelf It is a fun gimmick, to be sure, but at the heart of the water-taste test taking place at Thompson Rivers University is the real issue of that which sustains us.

If you turn to page A12 in today’s paper, you will read a story about the event at TRU (which takes place one final time on Tuesday, Sept. 2), where passersby are asked to taste two glasses of what appears to be identical water.

In one glass, however, is plain Kamloops tap water; in the other glass is bottled water.

The test?

Taste the two glasses and state a preference — consider it a healthier version of the old Pepsi Taste Test.

The results among the first 32 to take the test, when KTW attended, were encouraging, as 26 gave the nod to Kamloops tap water.

Kamloops tap water is terrific and a journey to most places south of the border will confirm that fact.

But, as James Gordon of TRU’s Office of Environment and Sustainability noted, many international students studying in Kamloops automatically reach for bottled water because tap water in their home countries simply is not used for drinking.

Educating visiting students about how wonderful our water is (thanks to a world-class watertreatment centre) is a laudable aim of the taste test.

However, a better goal would be to convince students born and bred in Canada to stop with the silliness of buying water in bottles.

There is no need when one has an empty water bottle and a tap nearby.

Drink it up, folks, for it is among the best on Earth.

Judge’s decision an affront to abused women Editor: Re: (‘TRU prof pleads guilty to assault,’ Aug. 26): Judge Chris Cleaveley stated: “I’m satisfied that it’s in the community’s best interest that Mr. [Bernie] Warren be granted a conditional discharge, despite the magnitude of violence and his previous criminal records.”

I’m shocked by Cleavely’s comments.

His decision does nothing to protect women from violence.

For any reason, a man should never strike a woman — never.

The judge’s decision sends a message to those who are abused that our courts will not protect them.

“This is not a rate increase, but a tax increase — plain and simple.

“Taking $200 million from ICBC and then raising rates to cover it is a tax.

“Then the Liberal government expects the B.C. Utility Commission and ICBC to lie to our faces to cover this.”

I think it is in the best interest of our community that Cleaveley step down from that position of trust and enforcement as these types of decisions only stall the progress society is making in eliminating violence against women and children.

All of city council needs to see Home/Less/Mess play Editor: I had the pleasure of taking in the Home/Less/Mess play at the Stage House Theatre on Aug. 16.

The play was staged by a cast that has experienced homelessness. They shared their personal stories and acted them out.

There were six cast members who put their trust, heart and spirit into creating on a show for Kamloops to inspire change and to educate the public on what it is like to be homeless.

There were so many touching moments and every actor left me with food for thought via a journey into their life of being homeless — and for this I am thankful.

One of the inspirational moments of the night came when Dennis Lee walked on

Want to find your

Check out our

stage with his eagle feather in hand and his beautiful daughter in her full regalia.

Dennis shared one of his truths about being homeless and his daughter sat beside him in full regalia, listening quietly as he spoke. Dennis chose to change his life, which in turn was changing the cycle for this beautiful young woman.

It was a beautiful sight.

My disappointment lies in the fact only two city council members — Arjun Singh and Donovan Cavers — chose to take time out of their busy schedules to attend the play.

We need our council and the City of Kamloops to take the blinders off and see that we have many people without homes, living under our bridges, starving and being evicted because

of the cruelly, low income that is paid to them through social assistance.

The money they receive per month is approximately $610.

This is supposed to cover rent and food.

Are you kidding me?

It is up to us to change the system and create affordable housing.

What is stopping Kamloops from becoming the leading edge in stopping homelessness?

I am sure we can always come up with excuses.

However, these are people’s lives. They did not come into this world wanting to be homeless.

Behind every person struggling with homelessness is a tragic story.

Even with all the agencies

we have in this city to help people, their hands are tied as to what they can do. If you think you cannot make a difference, remember this quote: “If you think you’re too small to be effective, you’ve obviously never been in a tent with a mosquito.”

To the rest of our city council members who were too busy to attend the play, six of our outstanding Kamloops citizens were sharing their very personal stories in theatre form to inspire change.

Maybe councillors who were not at the play could take the time and speak with these actors and visit our agencies to see what it is councillors can do to eliminate homelessness in Kamloops.

Remember those Segway thefts? Three remain missing Five of eight Segways stolen from a Shuswap tour company have been recovered, but the theft took a financial bite out of the business’s prime summer season.

The single-person standup vehicles were stolen from Shuswap Unique Adventure Tours’ secure Scotch Creek compound near Chase on Thursday, May 29.

The Segways were in a horse trailer, which was also pilfered.

About a month later, according to company owner-operator Barb Rivest, Mounties recovered five of the eight Segways at a location between Falkland and Kelowna and the investigation continues.

the serial numbers are registered, meaning thieves cannot get parts for or service on the machines.

“It was stupid to steal them,” Rivest said.

“It cost me a lot of money and they didn’t make any money.”

At the time of the theft, RCMP estimated the horse trailer and eight Segways to be worth $60,000.

With three Segways still missing, Rivest is hoping the public will keep an eye out for the unique vehicles.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of the Segways is asked to call Chase RCMP at 250-679-3221 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).1

The horse trailer was also found by police.

“Stolen Segways are not marketable,” Rivest said. “They were found in a heap of other stolen goods.”

Rivest said that, while her business is running again and will continue “until the snow flies,” the lost weeks greatly affected her bottom line.

“I got started about six weeks after the theft, at a lower capacity,” Rivest said.

“Unfortunately, it takes a lot of time and money to get back up. People would phone and ask, ‘Are you still operating?’

Yes, we are.”

Brooks pushes his labour plan

By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The province’s education minister is adopting parts of a Conservative five-point plan to get teachers and students back in school, B.C. Conservative Leader Dan Brooks told members at a luncheon meeting.

The Kamloops-based leader spoke to about five party members on Thursday, Aug. 28, as part of an Interior tour to promote his fivepoint plan to settle the labour dispute between public-school teachers and the B.C. Liberal government.

He accused the B.C. Liberals of waging what he said is an ideological

Crashlanding in Nicaragua

war against teachers.

“One of the most important things we have to remember is teachers are not our enemies,” Brooks said.

Under his plan, teachers would settle for 1.5 per cent a year for five years, along with a $2,500 signing bonus; the government would drop its court appeal; issues relating to the grievance from the B.C. Supreme Court decision would be dealt with in the fifth year; and class size and composition would be settled through a bulked-up learning-improvement fund that would start at today’s $75 million and double in three years.

This week, Education Minister

Peter Fassbender proposed pushing back the grievances on class size and composition based on the most recent B.C. Supreme Court ruling.

“Peter Fassbender is clearly stealing pages from it [B.C. Conservative five-point plan],” Brooks said.

“That’s a first step.”

However, Brooks rejected the idea that teachers should go back to classrooms on Tuesday, Sept. 2, while mediation is underway.

“That’s just pushing it back and I don’t think it will achieve anything,” he said.

While Brooks promoted his pragmatic plan to members, some of those in attendance at the ABC Restaurant

luncheon had other ideas in mind.

Among them were comments that the B.C. Teachers’ Federation is a too-powerful monopoly and that the province should introduce a voucher system that would allow parents to choose between public or private schools.

Brooks said his plan is not intended to fix systemic problems in the system.

“We’re looking at what can be done to introduce competition in the school system,” he said.

“We’re looking at all ideas to make B.C. education better.”

Brooks said he has seven children in B.C.’s public-school system.

The couple had been in the South American country to help with installation of playground equipment from Prince Charles Park, since replaced with newer models, at Jiquilillo.

They also helped with preliminary construction on a fire station in the country. The plane encountered bad weather just before it crashed, narrowly missing a soldier and a ditch.

Liquid gold — straight from the tap

With only two questions, one of the first tests Thompson Rivers University students will take this year isn’t long, but does require some special equipment.

It starts with two glasses of water — one from a bottle and one from the tap, both chilled to the same temperature and poured into identical, clear glasses.

TRU’s student union has in the past tried to ban the sale of plasticbottled drinks, including bottled water, but was unsuccessful.

Gordon said instead of a ban, the university plans to do more education about tap water and offer more water stations on campus, as well as fountain-style drinks, rather than bottled options.

The City of Kamloops proposes to borrow the money to rehabilitate Overlanders Bridge unless, by 4:30 pm on September 26, 2014, at least 10% of the electors in the whole of the City of Kamloops sign an elector response form opposing the implementation of the proposal unless the City of Kamloops holds a vote. The number of elector responses required to prevent the City of Kamloops from proceeding unless a vote is held is estimated to be 6,841. A report respecting the basis on which this determination was made is available upon request from the Legislative Services Division, City Hall.

Alternative Approval Elector Response Forms Elector responses are required to be submitted to the City of Kamloops on forms that can be obtained during regular business hours from the Legislative Services Division at City Hall; the form may also be downloaded from the main page of the City of Kamloops website at www.kamloops.ca.

The only elector response forms that will be accepted by the City of Kamloops are the ones provided by the City of Kamloops, or an accurate copy of the form.

Only electors of the City of Kamloops are eligible to sign the elector response forms. There are two types of electors - resident electors and non-resident property electors.

Resident elector - a person who is a Canadian citizen, is 18 years of age or older, has resided in BC for the previous six months and has resided in the City of Kamloops for the previous 30 days prior to signing an elector response form.

Non-resident property elector - a person who is a Canadian citizen, is 18 years of age or older, has resided in BC for the previous six months and has owned property in the City of Kamloops for the previous 30 days prior to signing an elector response form. Note that only one non-resident property elector may sign an elector response form per property, regardless of how many people own the property.

Resident electors signing the elector response form must provide their full name and address. Non-resident property electors must provide their full name, residential address, and the address of the property in relation to which they are entitled to register as a non-resident property elector. The City of Kamloops will not share the information on the form with anyone other than the Corporate Officer, or other person designated by the Corporate Officer.

,

This notice is to advise electors in the City of Kamloops of the intention to adopt the "Overlanders Bridge Rehabilitation Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 14-1-174". The purpose of the bylaw is to borrow an amount not to exceed $9,300,000 to finance the cost to resurface the Overlanders Bridge including concrete repairs to the deck, new membrane, asphalt surfacing and the reconstruction of the 430 metre pedestrian sidewalk on the west side of the bridge, that will be repaid over a period not to exceed 15 years. It is estimated that the borrowing will result in a tax increase of $15.58 per year for the average residential property. A copy of Bylaw No. 14-1-174 and a summary of the proposal are available from the Legislative Services Division at City Hall during business hours each business day of the week.

Sloan on Tour

By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

P

HIL MICKELSON, RORY MCILROY, RICKIE FOWLER AND ROGER SLOAN. No, the 27-year-old Merritt product’s name doesn’t quite fit in with that grouping just yet, but there’s no telling what the future holds.

“The goal wasn’t to get a PGA Tour card,” Sloan said.

“The goal is to win on the PGA Tour and really play to the best of my ability.

“Hopefully, one day that will take us to the top of the world rankings.”

Sloan took a step toward his lofty goal by claiming his 2014-2015 PGA Tour card with a top-25 finish on the Web.com Tour’s 2013-2014 money list.

The blonde-locked sharpshooter headed into the Web. com Tour’s final regular-season event in 23rd place, knowing a solid performance at the Portland Open would be enough to earn exemption.

He missed the cut and played the waiting game. None of the golfers behind him did enough to bump him out of the top 25.

“I was just discouraged with how I mentally handled the situation,” Sloan said.

“I’ve never been in that position before, having a PGA Tour card dangling over your head, and it’s something that occupied my thoughts.”

Sloan skyrocketed up the money list and put himself in great position to get his card

when he won the Nova Scotia Open at Ashburn Golf Club on July 6, a first-place finish that put $117,000 into his coffers.

The Halifax crowd bursted into a rendition of O Canada when he drained a four-and-ahalf-foot putt to seal victory on the first playoff hole.

Since then, he finished no better than 30th in five events, missing the cut twice. Sloan, who played his collegiate golf at Texas-El Paso, sat 12th on the money list after winning at Ashburn.

“Now that I have one [a card], yeah, there’s a little bit of weight off my shoulders. What I’m really excited about is that I went through that process and I learned a lot from it,” he said.

“It’s a situation you’re going to see yourself in a lot, whether you’re in the Fed Ex Cup or having to play for another PGA Tour card. It’s the nature of the sport.”

Sloan played in 19 Web. com events this season, making 12 cuts. He had four top-25 finishes and the victory in Nova Scotia was his only top-10.

It’s not a stretch to say one of Sloan’s most important golfing moments came in Kamloops, at Rivershore Estates and Golf Links, where the now-defunct Western Championship, then a Canadian Professional Golf Tour event, was held in June of 2011.

He clutched up on the back nine and claimed a three-shot victory, his first win on the Canadian Tour.

“That really solidified the fact that the process I was tak-

#4B533

ing was the right one,” Sloan said. “It validated the hard work and the relentless time you put in on the range, on the putting green and mentally preparing yourself to win.

“Guys like Jordan Spieth may not take as many steps, but getting my feet wet on the Canadian Tour at the time was essential to the growth of my development.”

Three years ago, Sloan told KTW the triumph at the Western felt like graduating high school, just another step in the process.

“It’s still the same feeling,” Sloan said on Wednesday, Aug. 27.

“It’s starting to sink in and there’s a sense of accomplishment, but we’ve got four tournaments ahead of us [the Web.com Finals] to dictate our priority rankings on the PGA Tour.

“There’s a lot of work to be done and I’ve still got to stay focused, one shot at a time.”

The first playoff event — the Hotel Fitness Championship in Fort Wayne, Ind. — began on Thursday, Aug. 28.

With $159,018 already in the bank from this season’s work, Sloan is looking to deepen his pockets and improve his ranking heading into the PGA schedule, which gets underway in October.

“It’s still a cool feeling to know I’ll be playing on the PGA Tour,” Sloan said.

“It’s just nice to see my career is heading in the right direction.”

Time for Pete Rose to be paroled BOX IT UP ...

W

ILL NEW baseball commissioner Rob Manfred grant parole to Pete Rose?

Manfred takes over from Bud Selig on Jan. 1 and he could make a major splash â&#x20AC;&#x201D; telling the world heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his own man â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by finally commuting what appears to be a lifetime sentence to Rose, the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alltime hits leader (4,256).

If he were to do that, Rose could then appear on the ballot for the Hall of Fame (where he belongs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Hall, that is, not just the ballot).

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been 25 years since commissioner Bart Giamatti issued the lifetime ban to Rose, who admitted to betting on baseball while he was manager of the Cincinnati Reds.

Evidence shows Rose bet only on his team to win, so tossing around accusations of throwing games was not part of the debate.

But, ever since the Black Sox scandal of 1919, when a handful of players on the Chicago White Sox did, in fact, throw the Series to appease underworld gamblers (and collect

BRUCE PENTON From PRESS ROW some handsome payoffs), anyone in baseball connected with gambling of any kind has been blacklisted.

Rose hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly been a saint since he was suspended. He has admitted to his indiscretion, but has told reporters he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t read the fine print in his suspension papers and had no idea he was agreeing to a lifetime ban.

And he has gone out of his way to annoy Major League Baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s establishment by showing up at Cooperstown on most Hall of Fame induction weekends to pad his bank account by signing autographs, stealing attention from the Hall inductees.

However annoying Rose has been to The Game, the fact remains that no one who has 101- 929 LAVAL CRESCENT, KAMLOOPS

ever graced a major league field has more hits than Charlie Hustle, who epitomized the way the game should be played.

He is the most prolific hitter to ever play the game, he hustled, he managed, he played to win and from all reports never used performanceenhancing drugs.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a baseball lifer.

But, he gambled on baseball. He knew it was wrong.

When he was caught, he knew heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be punished. He was.

But, 25 years in baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prison is enough. Murderers all over North America are enjoying freedom in society after serving less than 25 years.

Rose committed the crime, Giamatti issued the sentence and outgoing commissioner Bud Selig denied parole for about two decades.

Have a Walk in the Park

This weekend’s Walk in the Park will be anything but.

The 22nd annual event is set to return to Kenna Cartwright Park on Sunday, Aug. 31, with 18-, 36- and 54-kilometre distances on tap.

Nearly 50 runners are registered, with the field to be capped at 100.

Twenty-two of 25 spots in the 18-km event have been filled, while eight of 25 slots in the 36-km race are booked.

The 54-km event, featuring a field of 50 racers, sits at 18 registrants.

The Walk in the Park aims to be an oldschool event, without T-shirts or formally recognized age-group times.

Since the first race in 1992, organizers have operated under the philosophy of putting on a well-organized, low-cost and low-key event.

The race will recognize the top male and female finishers in the 54-km ultra-distance division and there will be giveaways for other participants.

Five-time finishers in the ultra distance will have their race number retired, while 10-time

finishers will receive a 500-km belt buckle.

Those doing the ultra will get started at 7 a.m., while the 36-km race goes at 9 a.m. and the 18-km at 11 a.m.

The event will start at the upper entrance of Kenna Cartwright, on Hillside Drive.

Environment Canada has predicted race day will bring cloudy skies and a high of 20 C. Registration is $32 for the 18-km event, $37 for the 36-km category and $42 for the 54-km race.

To sign up, visit Walk in the Park online at members.shaw.ca/ witp/.

Blazers sign forward Zaharichuk to WHL contract Jesse Zaharichuk signed a standard WHL player agreement with the Kamloops Blazers on Thursday, Aug. 28.

The 17-year-old forward from Sherwood Park played with the

MUG SHOTS CRIMES OF THE WEEK INTERESTING THEFT These thieves will take anything from anywhere, this was proven sometime overnight on Wednesday August 20th on the 6000 block of Todd Road. The suspects took the time to steal two Kayaks from the top of a vehicle that had been parked in the owners’ driveway.

Both of the Kayaks were secure to the roof and it would have taken at least two people to remove the Kayaks without making any noise.

It has been mentioned in the past, that these thieve are patrolling the neighbourhoods at night, looking for items to steal. The Kayaks are described as red Pongos model 100 and can be easily identified by the owner.

This is a good reminder to secure all items even the one on the roof of a vehicle, these thieves are targeting property of any kind.

OLD CON GAME COMES TO LIGHT Every once in a while you hear of this old con game and unfortunately they take advantage of good honest people.

On Saturday August 23rd, the daughter of the victim contacted the police and states that her mother was a Costco parking lot when she was approached a female. The female is described as

Spanish speaking person, would wanted to give her a necklace that is a goodwill gesture to help suspects ailing mother. When the victim got home she realized that the suspect had taken her very expensive gold necklace. There is no other description of the suspect female, please be aware of this scam; like they say nothing

Sometime over night on Monday August 25th, suspects entered the locked BC Hydro compound on McGill rd and stole two small rolls of wire. The value of the wire is somewhat minor but the fact is the suspects, did enter the compound for a specific reason. It appears the thieves took the wire

to the north fence and made their exit. A white Ford F 550 pick truck was stolen from a nearby business and could have been involved in the theft from BC Hydro. This truck had damage to the front end but was recovered the next day on Hollyburn Drive in the Aberdeen area. Although the truck has been

VESTA DOBERSTEIN

RONALD MICHAEL RIPPLE January 30, 1935 - August 19, 2014 We are sad to announce that Ronald Ripple slipped away peacefully in his sleep at home on August 19, 2014 at the age of 79 years.

It’s with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Vesta on August 24, 2014 surrounded by her family at Hospice after a brief illness.

She is survived by her husband Bruno, son Trent (Charlene), daughter Sue (Tim) Porter, grandson Jacob and siblings Carole Klyne, Howie and Dale Esche.

He was born to Andrew and Hilda Ripple January 30, 1935 in Verdun, Quebec, married the love of his life Mary on May 21st, 1960, and remained devoted to her for 54 years.

Ron’s fascination with trains led him to a job with the railway as a passenger sales agent working in ticket offices for CN, Grand Trunk and Via Rail in Montreal, Minneapolis, Chicago, Seattle, and in Kamloops.

An eccentric, outspoken soul, Ron was fondly known for his sense of humor and was nicknamed ‘the Mayor Of Westsyde” by his neighbors. He enjoyed gardening, dogs, donating his fruits and veggies to friends and made himself at home in the library, or in his easy chair tackling crossword puzzles.

Ron is survived by his wife Mary, daughters Janice (Jim) Cochran, and Patricia (Anthony) Bugera; his sister Margarete (George), brother Andrew, brother-in-law, Danny (Diane) Yarmush, and grand kids Jessica, Ryland, Vladimr and Oksana.

Ron was predeceased by his infant son, Michael, parents Andrew and Hilda Ripple, and his father and mother-in-law Joseph and Helen Yarmush.

No service has been requested at this time. A gathering of friends and family will be arranged at a later date.

Should friends desire, donations to the SPCA, 1211 – 8th Street, Kamloops, BC, V2B 2Y3 in memory of Ron would be appreciated.

Vesta was born in Swift Current, Saskatchewan on May 28, 1936.

She grew up in Salmo, BC in the time of the mining boom.

She married Bruno on August 13, 1960 and they enjoyed many years together. They first lived in Prince George (where Trent was born) and later moved to Coquitlam (where Sue was born) and moved to Kamloops in 1971. Vesta started work with the City of Kamloops in 1973 and worked in various departments (The building department, the cemetery, and finally Riverside Coliseum). She retired in 1996 and she and Bruno started travelling. They travelled extensively in their RV (most of the US and Mexico) and did a couple of trips to Europe. They enjoyed many years of being Snowbirds and spending time at the Sands RV in Desert Hotsprings.

Mom was her happiest when she was helping others. She always had a heart of gold.

We would like to thank the Kamloops Renaissance retirement residence where mom spent her last year and made many friends. The team there was an extension of our family. To the Nurses and Doctors at ICU (in particular Shelly and Dr. Paul Campsall) and the Nurses at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice - you are an amazing group. Thank you for showing our family such compassion and treating mom with dignity and respect.

A celebration of life will be announced at a later date.

Cremation entrusted to Personal Alternative Funeral Services in Kamloops

On-line condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com Schoenings Funeral Service 250-374-1454

If Tomorrow Never Comes If I knew it would be the last time That I’d see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more.

If I knew it would be the last time I’d hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute to stop and say “I love you,” instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day, Well I’m sure you’ll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away.

For surely there’s always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we always get a second chance to make everything just right.

There will always be another day to say “I love you,” And certainly there’s another chance to say our “Anything I can do?”

But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get, I’d like to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike, And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you’re waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?

For if tomorrow never comes, you’ll surely regret the day, That you didn’t take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today, and whisper in their ear, Tell them how much you love them and that you’ll always hold them dear Take time to say “I’m sorry,” “Please forgive me,” “Thank you,” or “It’s okay.”

And if tomorrow never comes, you’ll have no regrets about today. © Norma Cornett Marek ~ 1989

Wailing for country on the Wagah border

By Margaret Deefholts

TRAVEL WRITERS’ TALES travelwriterstales.com

“Hindustan, Jai Ho!” comes the roar from a thousand throats.

“Victory to India!”

“Pakistan Zindabad!” comes the answering shout from an vociferous crowd beyond a low concrete barricade.

“Long live Pakistan!”

I’m in Wagah, on the Indian side of the border between India and Pakistan, to watch the flag-lowering and gate-closing ceremony that takes place between the two nations at every evening at sunset.

It is, as Michael Palin aptly points out, a hilariously campy show of “carefully choreographed contempt” and it draws tourists from all over the world.

Indians in their tiered stands whoop jubilantly, and not to be outdone, the Pakistanis respond with equal gusto.

From where I stand, I can see the Pakistanis in their amphitheatre across the border. Like the Indian audience, the crowd is a seething mass of bobbing heads and waving hands.

So why this mock show of belligerence between the two nations?

Well, when British rule ended in 1947 India and Pakistan emerged as separate nations, and mass migrations of an estimated 14.5-million people followed — Hindus and Sikhs abandoning their ancestral land to move to India, and

dispossessed Muslims going in the opposite direction.

It was a raw and bitter cleavage, provoking savage reprisals that resulted in 800,000 to 1,000,000 deaths.

Time has softened the memory of those horrific months, but the mistrust between the two countries still simmers, occasionally exploding into military standoffs in remote areas along the border.

Yet here we are today, 67 years later, watching a display of patriotic zeal that borders on the burlesque, with cheers, thunderous clapping, hoots and jeers on both sides.

The foreign visitors’ section fills up fast. Throngs of tourists and media representatives wield yard-long camera lenses and rib-digging elbows as they jostle for space.

I am engulfed in a forest of heads and bodies and waving, clicking cameras.

As a warm up act, relays of women holding aloft large Indian flags race back and forth, to enthusiastic applause.

National anthem chants interspersed with Bollywood songs, blare over the loudspeaker.

The crowd goes wild as a young woman whirls into action, lip synching the words of a film hit, with much hip-thrusting and casting of coquettish looks at her audience.

She is replaced by a group of colourful Bhangra dancers, who leap in the air, wave their handkerchiefs

and invite people from the audience to join them.

An any-note-you-canhold-I-can-hold-longer competition gets underway.

From the Indian gallery comes a long holler sustained for about 50 seconds.

This is echoed in earshattering decibels for an even longer period by a Pakistani vocalist.

Back and forth it goes, until finally the Indian bawler appears to win.

The crowd in the stands go nuts, waving their flags, yelling and whistling in appreciation.

A bugle sounds and six soldiers emerge from the Border Force Office building.

Clad in khaki with striped orange and black sashes, their orange turbans are surmounted by enormous pleated crests that fan out like cockscombs.

They speed-march with comical haste along the pathway, then hard-stamp their feet to attention as they wait for the signal to approach the border gates.

A fusillade of camera clicks erupt around me.

The sun is almost on the horizon, and the moment everyone’s been waiting for arrives. The Indian soldiers speed march with a stiff-legged swagger, highkicking their booted feet to the height of their eyebrows, and take their place at the gates.

The Pakistani soldiers sport black fan-tufts on their turbans, and they too march arrogantly into place.

The elaborate dress worn by the Indian Security Forces at Wagah speaks to the pageantry of what goes on in the area. Margaret Deefholts photo

Both sides wear pugnacious expressions, and there is much melodramatic posturing — shaking of heads and stamping of feet — as they come face-to-face.

A blonde woman standing next to me chuckles, “Keystone Cops.”

The bugle sounds, the soldiers salute smartly and the flags start their descent; both flags must come down at exactly the same rate, thus symbolizing the equal status of both countries.

The commanding officers from both countries step forward, salute one another and exchange the briefest of handshakes.

The gates clang shut, again with split second precision on both sides of the border.

The Indian flag is folded and carried with solemn ceremony back into the Border Force Office.

The sun dips below the horizon, the last soldier disappears into the office build-

ing, and the audience offers its final round of applause.

The crowd begins to disperse . . . and the show is over. Until tomorrow — when it will take place all over again.

NATIONAL NEWS

Lawyers want Lac-Megantic charges dropped MONTREAL â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Criminal charges against two men accused in the Lac-Megantic tragedy should be dropped, their union and lawyers argued yesterday (Aug. 28).

Train engineer Tom Harding, railway traffic controller Richard Labrie and Jean Demaitre, the manager of train operations, are each charged with 47 counts of criminal negligence causing death â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one for each victim of the July 2013 train derailment.

A conviction carries a maximum life sentence.

Harding and Labrie are members of the United Steelworkers union, while Demaitre is not unionized.

Union spokesman Daniel Roy and lawyers for Harding and Labrie say the charges should be dropped in light of the Transportation Safety Board of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final report into the tragedy.

In last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report, the TSB criticized the Montreal,

Maine and Atlantic railway for its â&#x20AC;&#x153;weak safety cultureâ&#x20AC;? and also targeted Transport Canada for its poor oversight of railways, particularly amid a booming oil-by-rail industry across the continent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It should now be obvious that the charges against each of these workers no longer have their place,â&#x20AC;? said lawyers Thomas Walsh and MarcAntoine Cloutier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To continue along this path would not serve the public interest and would in no way help prevent such an incident from happening again.â&#x20AC;?

Walsh is representing Harding, while Cloutier works for a legal clinic that is defending Labrie.

Walsh also called for a public inquiry into the tragedy, going so far as to say it would be more important than the long-running Charbonneau Commission looking into corruption in the construction industry.

Roy, meanwhile, took par-

ticular aim at federal cabinet ministers for their reactions to the TSB document. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Transport Minister Lisa Raitt hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even finished reading the report, which blamed her department, and she was already trying to deflect attention by reminding people that criminal charges had been laid,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The TSB report said Harding applied an insufficient number of hand brakes on the train â&#x20AC;&#x201D; seven â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and conducted an inadequate test before he left the convoy unattended and retired to a local inn for the night.

Before he left the scene, Harding called MMAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s railtraffic controller to report mechanical problems on the locomotive and thick smoke belching from its exhaust.

They agreed he could leave the engine for the night.

Later that night, a fire broke out on the locomotive.

Firefighters called to the scene shut down the locomotive,

vv

which gradually disengaged the engineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s air brakes.

An MMA track foreman with no background in locomotives met the firefighters at the scene and, after consulting the rail-traffic controller, they left without restarting the locomotive. Eventually, the train started rolling toward LacMegantic, where it derailed and exploded.

TSB chair Wendy Tadros has said, however, that the underlying causes of the accident go well beyond the number of hand brakes applied and the engineerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actions that night.

The three accused were arraigned in Lac-Megantic last May. At the time, Walsh said Harding intended to plead not guilty to the charges and that the defence asked the court for a jury trial in the devastated community.

The next court appearance in the case has been set for Sept. 11. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Canadian Press

Magnotta case: Victimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family wants exhibits from public eye MONTREAL â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The family of the man allegedly murdered by Luka Rocco Magnotta is asking for certain exhibits it says are obscene to remain under wraps permanently.

Lawyers were in a Montreal courtroom yesterday (Aug. 28)

discussing a number of issues ahead of Magnottaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first-degree murder trial.

Magnotta has pleaded not guilty to a number of charges, including first-degree murder, in the May 2012 slaying of Chinese student Jun Lin. Benoit Lapointe

is representing Linâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father, Diran Lin, and wants the court to ensure some exhibits not be made public or be broadcast in any way.

Mark Bantey, a lawyer representing several media organizations, says his clients agree they would not broad-

cast or print some of the exhibits.

Justice Guy Cournoyer will rule on the motion later.

The court is hearing a number of pretrial motions today and Friday in advance of the trial.

Jury selection is slated to begin Sept. 8 and

Canadian rockers to send off summer

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

W

HEN Max Kerman set out to pen a song about the awkwardness after an ill-advised hook-up with a friend, he imagined playing it at a venue not unlike the one his band, The Arkells, are headed to this weekend.

“It was definitely written with a summer festival in mind, at four in the afternoon, with a bunch of sundresses flowing in the wind,” said Kerman.

The Arkells won’t take the stage at Sun Peaks until 5 p.m.

But, other than the hour difference, the tune off the band’s recently-released third album, High Noon, is a perfect fit.

The Hamilton, Ont., quintet has headlined festivals across the country and opened for Canadian icons, The Tragically Hip. On Aug. 30, they’ll cap off the first day of Sun Peak’s Summer Send-Off, with a set that promises to mix the personal — see: the hook-up song — with peppy, danceable rock and roll with a political bent.

Previous Arkells albums have included anthems to whistleblowing and political prisoners, while the band’s latest effort kicks

off with an indictment of the financial system.

“It’s about people who have enormous amounts of riches and don’t know what to do with it and aren’t thinking about anyone else,” Kerman said.

“I think it’s important for artists and creative people and storytellers to talk about social issues like that.”

Though the subject matter can be heavy, the Arkells’ most socially-conscious tunes are often their most danceable, an approach Kerman said is partly inspired by punk-rock legends the Clash.

“I love to make poppy music, you know that has choruses that are fun to sing along to, but then are also saying something meaningful and nuanced and layered,” he said.

“If you read Joe Strummer’s lyrics, they really shine, just on paper as much as they do in a song.”

Nor do the tunes about relationships, which explore everything from close friendships to the one that got away, get any less love from the band.

“I think the two things that motivate me the most are some of my personal relationships, whether it’s friends or girlfriends or family or whatever, and then my daily reading or my daily observations when it comes

Canadian rock band The Arkells are headlining Sun Peak’s Summer Send-Off this weekend.

to, like, being a citizen of the world,” said Kerman.

“I think it’s those two things that really motivate me the most to write a lyric.”

Beyond that, the most important quality in an Arkells song? That it will rock as part of a live set.

“One thing we have in the back of our minds when we’re writing songs is, how is this going to feel to play live?

“We are pretty energetic, so I think the music we make is definitely made to be moved to,” Kerman said.

Heading up Saturday’s bill are bands Spencer’s Dirty Matadors, Matt Henry Trained Human, Trespassers Will and Colour Sky.

Art in the dark

Most gallery art shows are best experienced with the lights on — but that’s not necessarily the case for the Kamloops Arts Council’s upcoming

ENTERTAINMENT Ken Farrar exhibition.

For his exhibition, Phosphorescent Landscapes: Painting With Light, Farrar turned to special minerals that glow in the dark to capture the lights of the nighttime sky.

Farrar’s paintings can glow for up to 12 hours, using light energy stored during the day.

Visitors to the Old Courthouse, 7 West Seymour St., can turn the lights in the main gallery on and off to experience the paintings in regular and nighttime views.

Phosphorescent Landscapes runs from Sept. 4 to 27, with an opening reception on Tuesday, Sept. 9, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

The concert is sponsored by the TRU

Student Union, which is also presenting a free outdoor movie night on Sept. 10, again in the commons area.

A giant inflatable screen will be used to show The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, starting at 8 p.m.

The following day, Juno Award-winning musician Alpha Yaya Diallo will give a concert in the Alumni Theatre at the university’s Clock Tower Building at 12:30 p.m.

Diallo, who comes from Guinea, has performed with Salif Keita, Youssou N’Dour and Ismael Lo, among other world-music performers.

Step in and help out those with cerebral palsy in B.C. Virtual mountains will be climbed in an attempt to raise $30,000 this September.

The Cerebral Palsy Association of British Columbia will be joining associations worldwide during a month-long challenge called Steptember to help improve the lives of those with the neurological condition.

More than 10,000 people across B.C. are living with cerebral palsy, which is caused by damage to the developing brain.

Co-workers, schools, families and friends are encouraged to form teams of four and sign up for the challenge.

Participants receive a pedometer to track their daily steps, which they record online.

Participants also complete about 40 other physical activities, con-

verted to steps on the website, including running, cycling and using a wheelchair.

Steptember also encourages team-building skills, health and activity and increases community engagement.

Those who take part are also eligible to win prizes such as sports merchandise and yoga passes.

The challenge runs for four weeks beginning on Wednesday, Sept. 3. It ends on Sept.

30. Registration is $25 for adults and $10 for children.

Cerebral palsy is a non-progressive, but changing, condition that affects about one out of every 500 individuals living in British Columbia.

For more information or to register, go online to steptember.ca.

SPCA to hold purrfect, paw-friendly fundraiser in the park For those walking on two legs or four — BC SPCA’s Paws for a Cause Walk is returning this year to communities throughout the province.

The walk takes part in 31 communities across B.C. and is considered the largest event held to end animal cruelty in the province.

Annual Labour Day Picnic at McDonald Park

The annual Kamloops Labour Day Picnic will feature live music, speakers, kids’ games and prizes.

The event, sponsored by the Kamloops and District Labour

Council (KDLC) and its affiliates, will take place at McDonald Park on the North Shore on Monday, Sept.

1, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Information booths from a variety of

The picnic is an opportunity for people from all walks of life to come together for a few hours of fun and music.

ALL’S FAIR IN

BARRIERE

North Thompson Fall Fair and Rodeo • Aug. 29 to Sept. 1

T

HE AWARD-WINNING North Thompson Fall Fair and Rodeo is celebrating its 65th year this Labour Day weekend as it takes centre stage in Barriere today (Aug. 29) through Monday, Sept. 1.

“We’ve learned a lot in the past 65 years,” fair president Jill Hayward said.

“We’ve learned good cowboy advice, such as ‘Don’t squat with your spurs on’ and ‘Don’t corner something that would normally run from you!’

“All kidding aside, though, what we have learned most over the years is that volunteers are what keep our organization growing — and it’s those volunteers who make each and every one of our annual fall fair and rodeos the great successes that they have been,” Hayward said.

“We might live, work and play with these folks on a daily basis, or we might not see them all year, but, when it’s fair time, we all gather together with the same mindset — to produce a memorable family-fun event that will keep people wanting to return each year.

“I am very proud to say that is exactly what we do.”

This year’s event will be ideal for all ages of fairgoers.

The Big Parade will travel through Barriere on Saturday, ending in the rodeo arena, where opening ceremonies will take place.

That will be followed by three days of fastpaced B.C. Rodeo Association action.

Standing and cheering will be the order of the afternoon as pony chariots and chuckwagon racing tear up the track during the rodeo performances, while trick riders amaze audiences during intermissions.

An outdoor stage has a full lineup of country and western music, with Gordie West, Butch Falk, Hugh McLennan, renowned magician Clinton W. Gray and Kamloops’ own Uncle Chris the Clown performing.

There will also be surprise cameo appearances by local entertainers.

Favourites this year will be the Friday night family dance (all ages welcome and alcohol-free), the traditional cabaret dance on Saturday night and the Sunday night Cowboy Concert — all held in the fall fair hall.

Feature entertainer Eli Barsi and all-girl cowboy band Horse Crazy will be singing at the Cowboy Concert.

Livestock shows, 4-H competitions and light horse events will run throughout the weekend, as will the heavy horse competitions, where gentle giants will show just how much “pull” they have.

The crowd-pleasing lawn-tractor races will have the dust flying before the rodeo gets underway and youngsters will find a great assortment of attractions to keep them busy around the indoor picnic area, next to the food court.

The North Thompson Agriplex Banquet Hall will feature a number of diverse vendor displays, including a large heritage display regarding the North Thompson Fall Fair and Rodeo’s 65-year history.

There will be old photos, memorabilia and scrapbooks — and visitors to the fair are encouraged to help identify some of the folks in photos from years gone by.

Those with adventure in their bones can try their hand on the climbing wall, the mechanical bull, the maze for all ages or kids’ amusements, like the bouncy castle, the mechanical swings and the train.

The fairgrounds will be filled with games, commercial exhibits, concessions and an exhibit hall that can easily supply an afternoon of entertainment while teaching about the agriculture, lifestyle and culture that abounds in the North Thompson Valley.

Visitors can sit in the shade of the companion garden, pat a pony, enjoy an ice cream, participate in a free workshop or meet a 4-H family.

“For three days, folks will be able to fully experience the sights, sounds, smells and nostalgia of a real country fair,” Hayward said.

“You can pick a carrot fresh from the companion garden, sing along with great musicians, learn about valley heritage, visit with friends and even feel the wind in your hair as the pony chariots and chuckwagons thunder past.

“We’re inviting everyone to come to the fair and help us celebrate our 65th event.”

LABOUR DAY

Working together for all British Columbians

By Stephanie Smith BCGEU PRESIDENT

T

HIS PAST spring, I had the honour of being elected to lead B.C.’s most diverse union.

The more than 67,000 women and men of the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union (BCGEU) work in all areas of the province, in a wide variety of roles, making a real difference in their communities.

From child care to child protection, preventative health care to palliative care, social work to corrections and so much more — what our members share is a dedication to working together for the benefit of all British Columbians.

As the union that represents these remarkable workers, we owe it to them to not only

protect the vital public services they provide, but to continuously work for positive social change.

BCGEU members want to belong to a movement that can make progressive new policies that BC needs — such as $10-per-day child care — a reality.

That’s why on this Labour Day — my first as BCGEU president — as we celebrate the hard-fought gains the union movement has made for B.C. and Canada, I’d like to also look forward and talk about what we still have left to do.

Our province and country are faced with growing income inequality, including a gender wage gap of 26 per cent that is, frankly, embarrassing.

Our young people have the distinction of being the first generation that will be worse

for one another.

When we all band together to demand that vital services be publicly available to everyone — not just those who can afford them — we’ll have a whole new set of victories to celebrate each year at the end of August.

off economically than the one that came before.

But, the labour movement is in a unique position to change all of that.

Hundreds of British Columbians lift themselves out of poverty each year by joining the BCGEU or other unions

to achieve collectivebargaining rights at their workplace.

The wage increases they gain by working together go right back into their local economies, invigorating communities across the province.

The increased tax revenues provide fund-

LOYAL,SKILLED,

ing for the public services that we all rely on.

Just think of the exciting things we could do if we all worked together to ensure that everyone in all regions of the provinces — regardless of race, gender or socioeconomic

status — had access to a job, where they were paid a living wage and treated with respect.

This is what the labour movement has to offer British Columbians: Strong, united and dynamic communities full of people who care

Stephanie Smith was elected president of the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union by delegates at the union’s tri-annual convention in May. Stemming from the community socialservices sector, Smith had a long history of leadership and activism within the BCGEU before serving three years as the union’s treasurer (2011-2014).

She is the first woman elected president of the BCGEU.
