AN A-MAZE-ING JOURNEY The corn maze at Tranquille on the Lake is ready for another season of fun and the Schieman family — mom Kristie, dad Jeff, daughter Olivia, 4, and son Nathan, 2 — were among the first to wind their way through on the weekend. The maze is open and organizers are again offering a spooky series of night visits just before Halloween.

No school as contract talks collapse again By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

School will not begin as scheduled on Tuesday, Sept. 2, after talks between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation BCTF and the provincial government’s bargaining agent broke down yet again on the weekend. On Saturday, Aug. 30, mediator Vince Ready walked away from talks with the teachers union and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, making it clear to both sides “fundamental barriers” remain in his effort to find a way to a tentative agreement on a contract.

Ready told media he’s willing to meet with the two sides again but more work has to be done to bring them closer to an agreement. The main stumbling block remains the government’s insistence on an opt-out clause based on whatever the B.C. Supreme Court may rule on the second government appeal of court decisions declaring government actions illegal. Those appeals are related to theneducation minister Christy Clark’s decision to void existing contracts and remove the B.C. Teachers’ Federation’s right to bargain class size and composition to a decision government would address

through legislation. The government has twice lost that argument, with courts ruling the action violated teachers’ charter rights. The most-recent court decision earlier this year confirming that viewpoint has been appealed by the government. The provincial government wants a clause included in a contract that allows either side to opt out of the deal if they disagree with the court ruling. For example, if the court again rules against the government, the government can opt out of the contract; if the court overturns the ruling

that was in favour of the BCTF, the union can opt out of the contract. “After two days of work with Vince Ready, it has become clear that the government is not prepared to find a fair settlement that will get B.C.’s students and teachers back in classrooms,” BCTF president Jim Iker said. Iker said the teachers’ union reduced its proposal by $125 million, but claimed the government did not make any meaningful moves in return. “Education Minister Peter Fassbender has said many times: “Let the courts decide.” “And we agree entirely with that

approach,” Iker said. “But, in reality, what they are insisting upon at the table would undo any future court decision.” Iker said the BCPSEA offered no commitment to increase funding, nor was there any effort to move on salary. As for Fassbender, the education minister could not see a scheduled start to the school year. ‘”I wish I could tell British Columbians when students will be back in school,” Fassbender said. “But, right now, I don’t see any quick or easy solutions. “Legislating an end to the dispute is the wrong thing to do.”

Aberdeen landowners sue city over floods By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The owners of an acreage in Aberdeen are suing the City of Kamloops and seeking an injunction ordering changes in drainage construction after the July 23 storm that wreaked havoc across the Tournament Capital caused an “unnatural” flow of water, mud and debris to damage land. Rodney and Wendy Hubbard own property at 2305 Princeton-Kamloops Hwy., an acreage across the highway from the intersection with Aberdeen Drive.

According to a notice of claim filed in B.C. Supreme Court on Aug. 28, the Hubbards’ property has been subject to flooding and erosion since 2012. The documents claim the Hubbards contacted the city in the spring of 2012 and described the problem, but no remedy was offered. “Unless and until the drainage system is modified, the property will continue to be frequently and regularly subjected to flooding, erosion and the entry onto and accumulation upon the property of water, dirt, mud and debris,” the documents claim. “The defendant’s conduct in the design, construction,

Black inmate sues over alleged KKK beating; ‘torture’ in Kamloops prison By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

In a lawsuit against the province, inmate O’neil Parchment claims he was attacked and ‘tortured’ by a guard and a sheriff while at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre in 2010. The convicted drug dealer from Nanaimo also claims he was beaten by KKK members in a Vancouver Island prison.

A black inmate is suing the province, claiming he was targeted by the Ku Klux Klan behind bars and alleging prison officials didn’t do enough to protect him from violence and racism, including an alleged violent attack and “torture” at the hands

of a sheriff and guard at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre (KRCC). O’neil Parchment, a 56-year-old convicted drug dealer from Nanaimo, laid out a number of allegations in his five-page statement of claim, beginning with an alleged assault in 2009 at Vancouver Island Regional Correctional

Centre. None of the allegations have been proven in court. The documents were filed in Kamloops provincial court on Aug. 27. They claim Parchment was attacked in the Vancouver Island prison by two men in a beating arranged by a jailhouse faction of the KKK. According to

approval and operation of the drainage system constitutes an unreasonable interference with the plaintiff’s use and enjoyment of the property.” The documents claim two storms this summer — one on June 15 and then the one-in-200-year blast of rain that hit Kamloops on July 23 — made the problem even worse. No dollar amount is set out, but the Hubbards are looking for damages, costs and an injunction from a judge ordering the city to upgrade its drainage system. None of the allegations have been proven in court. The city has three weeks to reply once it has been served.

Parchment, jail staff then “unlawfully removed” documents of his relating to a potential humanrights complaint stemming from the assault. The documents claim Parchment was denied access to health care the next year while in custody at KRCC and that, on Oct. 10, 2010, a sheriff and a corrections officer “tortured” and “violently assaulted” him in Kamloops while en route from a jail in the Lower Mainland to an institution in Prince George. Parchment claims he had more issues at

KRCC this summer. The documents allege he was, on July 22, placed in a KRCC cell that was covered in white-supremacist graffiti. He claims to have asked jail staff to document the graffiti by taking photographs, a request he claims was refused. The documents claim KRCC brass refused to paint over the graffiti. The same day, Parchment claims, he was stripped naked and placed in a segregation cell before being shipped

to a Prince George jail, only to be back in segregation at KRCC, naked, less than a week later. The documents claim Parchment was denied access by KRCC officials to prisoner-complaint procedures between July 22 and July 31. No dollar amount is listed, but the documents state Parchment is seeking damages for assaults and denial of access to health care, as well as for mental anguish and stress caused by being forced to stay in a cell covered in racist graffiti and to cover future care and therapy.

DATE atNIGHT A ‘fire tornado’ erupts from the Chelaslie River fire in west central B.C., between Anahim Lake and Burns Lake. At 130,000 hectares and still only 20 per cent contained, it is B.C.’s largest wildfire so far in 2014. B.C. Wildfire Management Branch

2014 among worst wildfire years Total area burned in B.C. will soon pass massive 2010 tally By Jeff Nagel BLACK PRESS jnagel@blackpress.ca

This summer’s wildfire season will go down as one of the most destructive on record in B.C. Entering the Labour Day weekend, fires had burned up more than 330,000 hectares across the province and are expected to soon surpass the 337,000 hectares destroyed in the 2010 fire season. This year is still far short of 1958, when 856,000 hectares burned, but 2014 could move into fifth place if it surpasses 1950’s 343,339 hectares, or even third spot if it tops the 351,000 lost in 1971. While much timber has burned, no homes or other significant structures have been lost this year. By that measure, it’s been nowhere near as catastrophic as the 2003 fire season, when more than 300 homes were lost or damaged in the Okanagan

Mountain and McClure fires and fires rages in Kamloops and Barriere. But, it has been costly. The province has so far spent more than $246 million fighting wildfires, almost four times what was budgeted, and more than the $212 million expended in 2010. Despite wet weather on the Labour Day weekend, fire officials are bracing for more warm dry spells in September. “It’s unlikely we’ve seen the end of the fire season by any stretch of the imagination,” fire information officer Dustin Eno said. The actual number of fires this year — just over 1,300 — is well below the average of 1,600 a year. However, many of the fires have been very large. The biggest, and still only 20 per cent contained, is the 130,000-hectare Chelaslie River fire, which is burning between Anahim Lake and Burns Lake, near Entiako and Tweedsmuir

provincial parks. Homes in the area remain under evacuation order. The largest evacuations this summer have included the China Nose fire near Houston and the McAllister fire, which forced the evacuation of the entire town of Hudson’s Hope in July. Assisting B.C. crews have been large numbers of imported firefighters and equipment, from other provinces, Alaska and Australia. “We’ve brought in a lot and have been very grateful to be able to draw on those relationships, both right across Canada and internationally,” Eno said. “Last year we exported a lot of firefighters to fight in other jurisdictions and this year they were able to return that favour.” There are still 152 active fires and another 85 out-of-province firefighters arrived late last week from Ontario so B.C. crews could take mandatory days off.

Collin Gordon was a member of the 2008-2009 TRU men’s volleyball team. He is fourth from right on the bottom row.

‘HE WAS AN INTERESTING CHARACTER’ By Tim Petruk and Adam Williams STAFF REPORTERS

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

One of the latest Canadian men to be identified as fighting with the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) terrorist group in Syria is a former Thompson Rivers University volleyball player who was later involved in the Kamloops social scene. Collin Gordon, a Calgary native, suited up for the WolfPack men’s volleyball team during the 2008-2009 school year. He played his college volleyball for the SAIT Trojans in Calgary prior to his time at TRU. CBC News has report-

ed that sources have confirmed Collin Gordon and his brother, Gregory, have joined ISIS. Collin and Gregory were living in Calgary when they disappeared in 2012. They are believed to have converted to radical Islam while in Calgary and are now believed to be in Syria, fighting with the ISIS group. In 2011 and 2012, Collin and Gregory reportedly lived in the same Calgary apartment building as Damian Clairmont and Salman Ashrafi, both of whom were killed in Iraq and Syria in the past year. Collin Gordon was heavily involved in the Kamloops social scene

FORUM SET FOR SEPT. 4:

Thompson Rivers University political-science instructor Derek Cook is planning a public forum on ISIS terrorism in the wake of news of Gordon’s apparent involvement in the terrorist group. The public forum, entitled “How could a TRU Business student be fooled into joining the ISIS terrorists?” is scheduled to take place on Thursday, Sept.4, at 4 p.m., in room 262 of the Arts and Education Building at the university. It is sponsored by the Human Rights Committee of the Thompson Rivers University Faculty Association. when he dropped out of TRU in 2009. “He was an interesting character,” said Kamloops filmmaker Nate Froese, who operates Joy Factory Films and did some work for Gordon’s Kamloops Social Club at about

Snow White

the same time. “He was very driven and ambitious, but he had a hard time following through on things. He had goals in mind and he went after them, that’s for sure.” The Kamloops Social Club was an ambitious project started about five years ago, aimed at holding parties at local bars. Gordon was, apparently, one of its founders. A Kamloops woman, who asked not to be identified, attended TRU with Gordon said she remembered him as a very social person. “I can say that he was really nice, really personable and outgoing,” she told KTW. “He was stoked on life.” The woman said she was shocked to hear the news about Gordon

joining ISIS. “I heard it from your tweet and I was like, ‘I know that guy,’” she said. “He wasn’t a shady person at all — he was just passionate and seemed to get as much as he could out of everything.” A friend of Gordon who asked to remain anonymous said he didn’t know him to be “superreligious” when he was in Kamloops. “I think he had Muslim ties, like he occasionally would say something that would make it sound like he knew about that stuff.” Faisal Saddiqui, president of the Kamloops Islamic Association, was asked if he knew of Gordon. “The name doesn’t ring a bell at all,” he said. The tone of Gordon’s social-media postings began to change early in 2012. Tweets about basketball games and weekend plans became interspersed with quotes taken from the Qur’an. By May 2012, the feed was almost exclusively devoted to religion. Christopher Seguin, vice-president academic at TRU, told KTW he could not comment on the Gordon matter due to privacy issues.

‘YOU WOULD FIND TRUTH IN THE QURAN. I ENJOYED READING YOUR ARTICLE’ KTW reached out to Collin Gordon via a message sent to his Facebook account. On Sunday, Aug. 31, at 5:24 a.m. Kamloops time, Gordon replied to KTW editor Christopher Foulds, who had messaged Gordon, asking for the truth behind reports he and brother Gregory were fighting with the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham. “You would find the truth in the Quran,” Gordon said in his reply. “I enjoyed reading your article.” Gordon had read the adjacent article, which was posted on kamloopsthisweek.com on Friday, Aug. 28. When asked for an interview with KTW, Gordon replied: “No interviews for now. I will consult with my brothers as Allah says to do and then make a decision in your regard.” Gordon linked to the KTW article through his Facebook page, writing: “I hope it inspires others to emigrate and join the fight of Good vs. Evil.”

A 2008-2009 TRU WolfPack media guide describes Gordon as an average volleyball player. He is described as having good ball control and an excellent vertical jump. In the guide, Gordon said his biggest role model was Michael Phelps as the swimmer was “the example of perfection.” Gordon described his long-term goals as operating a small business and he listed his favourite movies as being Blow, Troy and Rounders. The media guide includes a quote from volleyball coach Pat Hennelly, who talks about Gordon: “I was intrigued by reports from his former coaches on his work ethic on the court.” Spencer Reed, who was in his first year as a libero (defensive specialist on the volleyball court) when Gordon — also a libero — was with the WolfPack, remembered his teammate as a “mellow dude” who “marched to his own beat.” “He just sort of went about his own business,”

Reed said. “He was quite well known in the campus community, I think. He was involved in a lot of little projects, quite social, just sort of did things he was interested in. “It’s not to say that’s a bad thing. He was involved in a lot of different things.” Reed said he was stunned when he saw Gordon’s face looking back at him from the CBC website. It took him a moment to recognize his former teammate but, when he did, he texted a few of the team’s other alumni, all of whom, he said, were “flabbergasted.”

“We’ve all lost touch with the guy, obviously, but to see his aspirations that he’s into right now, he’s a completely different sort of guy than we were used to when he was on the team and part of the campus,” Reed said. Reed said he and Gordon got along, but weren’t especially close. He never knew the Calgary native to speak about religion and couldn’t say where his religious beliefs were rooted. “It never came out,” Reed said, noting Gordon was a quiet guy known for throwing parties. “The network of

WolfPack alumni, it grows by the year, right? “You just wish that everything is safe. You don’t wish harm on anyone,” Reed said. “It’s certainly surprising to see him into this kind of thing. “The CBC article I read said he hasn’t been in touch with his family and you don’t wish that on anyone.” Said another former teammate who wished to remain anonymous: “I knew he was off a bit, but I didn’t think it was anything like that “If I was to say anything, he reminded me of Kanye West — just outspoken.”

Vote 50 wants you to help get the ballot count rising

T’S NOT AS IMPRESSIVE as those guess-your-age booths at carnivals but, during the past couple months, I’ve developed a pretty good system for figuring out whether people voted in the last municipal election without having to ask any questions. All I have to do is tell them I’m part of a group looking to improve voter turnout in this year’s civic election — then wait to see if they look guilty. When Kamloops last elected a new mayor and council — in the fall of 2011 — about 30 per cent of eligible voters, or 19,442, cast ballots. So, the odds of encountering guilty faces are pretty good. Put it another way: That turnout is less than the combined population of the North Shore and Barnhartvale. Now, I’m sure both areas have plenty of astute voters, but surely there are residents in Aberdeen, Valleyview and Westsyde, to name a few, who might have some thoughts on how the city should be run. The group to which I belong — Kamloops Vote 50 — thinks we can do better than 30 per cent. A lot better. We’re hoping to get about 34,000 people to the polls in the Nov. 15 election, which would increase Kamloops’ voter turnout to 50 per cent. How? In part, peer pressure. This month, we’re launching a Vote Ambassador program. The idea is simple: As a vote ambassador, you target a few of your friends and family members who might not be enthused or who might have some difficulty voting — and

ANDREA KLASSEN Newsroom MUSINGS help them make it to the polls. Being an ambassador can be as simple as setting up a car pool on voting day or on one of the advanced voting opportunities scheduled for Nov. 5, Nov. 6 and Nov. 12. If you have snowbirds in your family who will be spending November south of the border, help them apply for mail-ballot voting. For friends with the means, but perhaps not the enthusiasm, there are other tactics being employed. As the 2014 election campaign gears up, we’ll be putting together some cool events to get Kamloopsians talking about the issues that matter to them and spreading information about how to vote and how local government works. Remember that time your friends talked you into going to a concert or a party or a film you didn’t think you’d enjoy, only to find yourself having a blast? We’re hoping this program works the same way. Vote 50 is a non-partisan group, with members from community groups, non-profits and neighbourhood associations around Kamloops.

Our goal isn’t to get you to vote for a certain candidate or vision for the city, but to get new and old voters thinking about what kind of community they want to live in — and working toward it. Voting is only a first step. In figuring out who to vote for, you might discover a new cause to take up or group with which to volunteer. If nothing else, you’ll know a few of the people in your city better than you did before, while having a broader view of Kamloops. Want to learn more? Vote 50 is holding a pair of drop-in sessions this week and next week. The first is at Zack’s Coffee and Tea, at Victoria Street and Fourth Avenue, on Thursday, Sept. 4, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Drop by, learn more about what we’re up to, share your ideas and make a pledge to vote on Nov. 15. To sweeten the deal, Kamloops’ own Back Alley Sallies are due to play a special acoustic set. For North Shore residents, we’ll be at Red Beard Cafe, at Tranquille Road and Yew Street, on Tuesday, Sept. 9, for more of the same, minus the tunes. In the meantime, check us out online at KamloopsVote50.ca, or on Facebook. As of now, we’re about two-and-a half-months out from the vote and we’ve got a wild ride ahead of us to achieve our goal. I hope you’ll consider coming along. andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @AndreaThisWeek

Teachers’ Federation truly believes its position is just and that the majority of the public stands with it, and if the provincial government believes likewise, what next? How about binding arbitration? How about both sides drop their pages and pages of proposals on a table and agree to allow a mutually agreed upon arbitrator wade through the requests and demands and emerge with a final decision that will end this standstill and allow kids to get back to school? If either side will not agree to binding arbitration, then there is wavering in a belief it has support and that its stance is justified. As the latest talks collapsed, the BCTF called on Premier Christy Clark to get involved in the impasse. The request was odd in that it was Clark, as education minister in 2002, who stripped classroom size and composition from the union’s bargaining rights. It appears as though the provincial government is not willing to agree to the BCTF’s proposals and it appears as though the teachers’ union has decided to not cave. Of course, students are the losers in this battle, which is why both sides should agree to binding arbitration and let the chips fall where they may.

This Kamloops Mountie got her mountain bike Editor: On Thursday, Aug. 21, my bike was stolen from Visions Electronics downtown. I was at the cash register when someone stepped inside the door and took my mountain bike. The employees were helpful and one guy even drove me around in his car looking for it. Thank you! I went to the Battle Street RCMP detachment and opened a file after reporting my bike was stolen. They were very helpful. I walked around town asking people if they had seen my bike, but to no avail. Within a half-hour of reporting it stolen, my cellphone rang and it was a police officer.

She said she would do everything she could to find my bike. She was very polite and understanding. I told her that bike meant everything to me and was what I relied on as my main transportation. I thanked her for calling and I somehow knew she would find my bike. I went home and began to pray. I prayed with everything I had for my bike to come back to me — and I prayed all day and all night. I remained positive and didn’t lose my head over it. Then I prayed more. I sent out my thoughts to the universe and all who would listen that the police would find my bike. On Saturday. Aug. 23, my cellphone rang. It was Const. Gwen McLennan with

news that she had found my bike. We confirmed the serial numbers and I was grinning from ear to ear. She sounded more excited than I was as she told me I could come and get it. She mentioned she also rides bikes and knew how it would feel to have one stolen. I just wanted to publicly thank McLennan for her excellent work. She has brought my bike back and I am very grateful to her and the Kamloops RCMP for a job well done. By her actions, she has strengthened my faith in the police. It’s this kind of service about which the public should know more. Rev. Davey Dunbar Kamloops

Editor: A record sockeye run is expected this autumn and aboriginal commercial fishers are planning to string a net across the mouth of the Thompson River at the west end of Kamloops Lake. They did this in 2010 with a seagoing motorized boat. This year, they plan to harvest 250,000 salmon, but maybe they will catch 500,000, with the fish destined for market. Who is checking? I hear they will have two seagoing boats this time. While most natives use dip nets and spears for their own food, these commercial fishers will be taking up to a half-million salmon that have travelled up the Fraser River and through the Thompson River as they head to their spawning grounds in Adams River. These salmon will not provide the next generation with salmon and will make the next generation millions short. This is outrageous. Where is the Department of Fisheries and Oceans?

Plea expected this month A former police officer from Clearwater facing a number of sexual-assault charges is expected to enter a plea this month. Alan Davidson is charged with eight counts of indecent assault by a male on a male person, stemming from alleged interactions Davidson had with boys in the North Thompson as a sports coach in the 1970s and 1980s — before he began his RCMP career in 1981. Davidson, 58, was arrested in March in Calgary, where he had been working as an Alberta sheriff.

The 16-month investigation into Davidson’s actions came about after a Lower Mainland man went to police in 2012 saying he’d been sexually assaulted by his hockey coach in Clearwater in the early 1980s. Seven additional complainants came forward during the probe. Davidson did not appear in Kamloops provincial court on Thursday, Aug. 28, as his arraignment hearing was adjourned for two weeks. He is due back in Kamloops provincial court on Sept. 11.

Perhaps car had crime-fighting mind of its own A Kamloops man made it from Logan Lake to just south of Kamloops before the stolen vehicle he was driving decided to call it quits. On Wednesday, Aug. 20, RCMP officers from Logan Lake, Kamloops and Merritt teamed up to apprehend an impaired car thief.

Five people, including at least one from Kamloops, are recovering following a head-on collision on Highway 97 in Westwold, between Kamloops and Vernon. Vernon/North Okanagan RCMP responded to the Aug. 27 crash at 3:05 p.m. Police say a GMC Envoy crossed the center line and struck a silver

direction with spike belts. He was later spotted on the roadside south of Kamloops, where the vehicle broke down, and seen running over the bank and into a field towards New Afton Mine. RCMP officers closed in and apprehended the subject. Two breath samples revealed he was impaired and he was issued a 90-day driving prohibition. The stolen vehicle appears to have suffered terminal engine damage.

22 remain in hospitals

TUESDAY

Three in critical condition after bus crash on highway Of the 43 patients originally transported to area hospitals following the Thursday, Aug. 28, tour-bus crash on the Coquihalla Highway, 22 remain in health-care facilities. The crash occurred at about 3 p.m. on the highway, about 30 kilometres south of Merritt. The bus, carrying mainly tourists from Asia and heading to Vancouver, was passing a truck when the bus driver apparently lost control. The bus left the highway, flipped on its side, skidded along the median and returned to upright status. Nineteen ambulances and six helicopters transported patients to Royal Inland Hospital, Kelowna General Hospital and the Nicola Valley Hospital Centre in Merritt. Of the 22 patients still in care, eight are at Royal Inland and14 are at Kelowna General. Three are in critical condition, two are in serious condition and 17 have non-life threatening injuries. Other patients injured in the accident are receiving treatment in Lower Mainland hospitals.

A hotline for family members only has been established. Family members seeking information can call 1-888-350-6070. Operators are available in English and Mandarin. Interior Health Authority spokeswoman Michaela Swan said the crash was “unprecedented” for area hospitals. “What happened was truly a tragic incident and we understand there are families around the world waiting to hear about their loved ones,” Swan said. She said the IHA’s three hospitals were all on code orange — meaning all hands on deck for mass-casualty incidents — for the first time ever. “We’ve spent a lot of time planning and preparing for code orange,” Swan said. “We always hope for the best, but we have to plan for the worst.” Earlier on Friday, RCMP said a dashmounted camera on a semi captured a video of the crash and that speed and weather are not thought to have been factors. RCMP Sgt. Brian Nightingale said the

dash-cam footage, captured by a truck travelling behind the bus, indicates human error or mechanical failure as possible causes. “It’s more an issue that the driver drove into the centre median and then veered too hard trying to get onto the road,’’ Nightingale said. “We’re doing mechanical [inspections] on the bus, so that will rule out any kind of mechanical factors, like steering and braking and that kind of stuff.’’ The passengers were on a tour organized by Super Vacation, a company based in Richmond that describes itself as the largest Chinese tour operator in North America. The company has said the bus was returning to Vancouver from a trip to the Rocky

Mountains and was between Kamloops and Vancouver when it rolled over. Company spokesman L. Lau said many of the passengers are from mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, though he said some are from B.C. and elsewhere in Canada. “We have been planning for everything right now,’’ said Lau, who declined to give his full name. “Of course, some of the patients we can’t see.’’ Lau said the bus was operated by Western Bus Lines, which he said is a “major local bus company with 35 years of experience.’’ Western Bus Lines, based in Kelowna, did not reply to repeated voice messages and emails.

Liberal trio quizzed for nomination By Christopher Foulds KTW EDITOR

editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

The three who would be the local Liberal candidate in next year’s federal election sat before an audience of about 150 on Thursday, Aug.28, and explained why they were seeking their party’s nomination. In a word or two? Stephen Harper. Teacher Steve Powrie, Kamloops Child Development Centre executive director Peter Mutrie and business and marketing consultant Niki Remesz all cited the prime minister and his government as compelling them, in some part, to run. The forum, held at the Kamloops Coast Hotel and Conference Centre, was moderated by former mayor and former Kamloops Daily News editor Mel Rothenburger and included four pre-arranged questions and a few queries from those attending. “The world needs better politicians,” Powrie said, arguing the Harper government is engaged on an attack on democracy, has a narrow agenda and has adopted a confrontational stance. He said he is seeking the nomination because of the appeal of centrism, because of the rejuvenation of the Liberal party and because of “Stephen Harper and his merry band of followers.” “If ever there was a time to have new ideas, fresh ideas, now is the

time,” Mutrie said, noting Harper is following in the trickle-down economic theory lineage of Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher. “The trickle down theory does not necessarily work,” Mutrie said. Remesz criticized the Harper government’s record on the economy, the environment, crime and the national debt. Citing a recent letter to the editor in KTW, Remesz raised the issue of Conservative MPs toeing the party line at the expense of their constituents. “The person representing this community is supposed to go to bat for that community.” How to stem the problem of splitting the vote with the NDP was raised, with the three candidates noting the need to be explicit with voters in explaining a federal Liberal is not a provincial Grit. And how to attract younger voters, the 18- to 25-year-old group, also elicited some ideas. Remesz, who volunteers at TRU and interacts with that demographic, noted that age group has plenty on its plate — from school to careers to financial pressures. “We need to understand where they are coming from and not rain on them,” she said. Mutrie said messages must be crafted around the serious issues of the day that impact that age group. Powrie, who teaches at TRU and at the elementary level, responded with two words: “Justin Trudeau.” He recalled speaking to one of

his university students about his decision to seek the Liberal nomination and her reaction: “Will I be able to meet Justin Trudeau?” The Liberal leader, Powrie said, is the antithesis of Harper and is engaging young voters. “These kids are weaned in a fast society,” Powrie said. “But, once they’re pulled it, substance matters. We need to show how politics impacts their everyday lives 40 times a day.” When asked for their stance on the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen, all three candidates conceded they have concerns — but the trio said all data must be examined before a stance can be taken. Remesz said mining and care for the environment can be done in concert. “We can get there, but we’re not there yet.” Mutrie said data collection, not “opinion collection,” is needed. “I’m OK with a mine in this area if — if — it’s done right. I will keep an open mind until the data is there.” Powrie said it was “irresponsible” of the federal government to refuse to have the proposal put before a panel review, noting he will suspend judgment until all data is in. • Tyler Carpentier, president of the Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo Liberal riding association, said the nomination meeting will likely take place in late September or early October.

TEPHEN LOVELY’S VISION IMPROVES WHEN HE GOES UNDERWATER — AN ESPECIALLY IMPRESSIVE FEAT GIVEN THE 23-YEAR-OLD IS BLIND. Lovely received his level 1 open-water scuba diving certification earlier this summer, following a four-week course with Ocean Pacific Watersports in Kamloops. “It has been quite an experience — amazing coaches, too,” Lovely said before getting in the Westsyde Pool for a dive. The Ontario native has always been a swimmer, but scuba diving only recently came into the picture. Following a day of skydiving, Lovely decided if he could

When he’s under water, he said that vision improves. “When you’re underwater, things are, what, 25 times bigger. So I can see a bit more under there, which is quite cool,” he said, before adding, “Weird. It’s great, but it’s weird.” When Lovely approached Ocean Pacific owner Dale Anderson about taking his

existed in Canada for helping divers without sight. So, Anderson, Lovely and his diving partner, Peter Ian McArthur, developed a system of their own. Lovely always dives with a partner — generally McArthur, though on this night it was Anderson. When underwater, the sighted McArthur communicates with Lovely using hand signals — he puts his hand in Lovely’s, who feels the signal by touch — asking if he’s OK and passing along information from the gauges Lovely is unable to see. The group also developed a system to allow the new diver to swim on his own, giving him a “home base” of sorts. They tied a line to a floating buoy, which was anchored in place. X See ANDERSON A16

Amid struggles, Chase finds his motivation By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Mark Chase has plenty of reasons to be frustrated heading into the 2014-2015 season with the Thompson Blazers, but that’s not the route he’s taking. Instead, the secondyear head coach is choosing to find motivation amid the adversity. “When you kind of put your whole heart and soul into something and it’s not really being as well received as you would hope, it’s disheartening,” Chase told KTW. “But, at the same time, it’s motivating as well.” Chase has faced setbacks since taking over Kamloops’s B.C. Major Midget League (BCMML) club, not the least of which has been difficulty in icing a competitive roster filled with local talent. This season, Chase said he had seven players — including Vancouver Giants draft pick Brendan Semchuk, the Kootenay Ice’s Max Patterson and Swift Current Broncos selection Solomon Seibel — choose academies like the Pursuit of Excellence in Kelowna and the Okanagan

Hockey Academy in Penticton rather than stay in Kamloops to play for Thompson. Despite his frustration, Chase said he knows it’s part of hockey. “I hope it works out for them, honestly,” he said, adding he has nothing against the players or the academies. “We would love to have had them but, at the end of the day, I’m not going to ask a player to play here if they don’t want to. “I definitely respect where they are coming from. I have an understanding.” Chase said players choosing academies is of concern across the BCMML, but particularly so for teams with small catchments like Thompson and the Kelowna-based Okangan Rockets. Losing a Semchuk was tough for the Blazers. X See BLAZERS A14

Blazers will depend on youth X From A13

Thompson will be a very young team in 2014-2015, comprised primarily of 1999-born players. Most of last year’s club will be moving on to junior B. There will be just four returning players — forwards Nii Noi Tetteh, Josh Pilon, Dante Caillier and Tyler Collens. Chase said Tetteh is expected to lead the club. “He was probably one of our most developed ’98-born players from last year and had only ever played tier 3 all his life,” he said. “You wouldn’t know it by looking at him at this point now.” “Last year, he came a long way, but that was because his character probably surpassed any-

body else’s character on the team. He bought in every day, to every practice, every message that was sent to him. He was willing to put in the work and he was definitely willing to put in the work over the summer because he’s gotten probably 15 times faster and at least 15 time stronger.” The team will benefit from the additions of

Portland Winterhawks draft pick Jackson Caller and Regina Pats selection Garret Ewert, both defencemen. Chase has also struggled to establish his long-term vision for Thompson. His goal upon taking over the Blazers was to bring the team to the Tournament Capital full-time. It had previously played and practised in locales including Chase, Logan Lake and Kamloops. But, a year later, Chase is still struggling to secure a home base for his team in Kamloops. They have a permanent locker room and storage facility in Memorial Arena, but the Kamloops Minor Hockey Association is given icetime precedence. Thompson will play

most of its games at Interior Savings Centre and the McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre in 2014-2015. It will also play as many as four games in Chase, at Art Holding Memorial Arena. But still the coach is plowing ahead. He had 40 players at his August evaluation camp and has narrowed the roster to 28 — they’ll be down to 20 players before their season opens on Sept. 20. “I’m not going to give up,” Chase said. “It is a little disheartening, but it’s not a personal thing and that’s what I want everybody to know. “It’s basically like a business decision for them — that I do have an understanding for.”

Anderson surprised by Lovely’s impressive diving abilities X From A13

Using the buoy and the rope, Lovely is able to gauge how far he has travelled from home base, tying knots in the line to mark distance. When he has had enough, he can follow the line back to base without the help of his partner. Lovely uses these adaptations with his other senses to account for his lack of sight. Pressure on his ears, as well as the temperature of the water around him, gives him an idea of depth. He can hear sounds underwater better than his sighted counterparts, which gives him an awareness of his surroundings and a level of perception his fellow divers don’t have. Anderson and Lovely have both been surprised by how well the young diver has taken to his new pastime. “Very surprised . . . I couldn’t believe it,” Anderson said. “He took to it a lot better than a lot of people that could see.” Lovely’s plan is to get out to the Coast before the year is out, diving in the depths of the open ocean and surpassing 62 feet — the depth of his deepest dive, which occurred at Pavilion Lake, west of Cache Creek. Maybe he’ll hear a whale, maybe he can explore a wreck or some coral with his hands, maybe he’ll feel a school of fish swim by. No matter what happens, the Kamloops diver won’t be hindered by his lack of sight. “The most attractive thing to me is how peaceful it is underwater,” Lovely said. “Everything on the surface gets put on standby when you’re under there.”

STORIES FROM WAR By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

ENNIS OOMEN IS SPENDING A LOT OF TIME IN A WORKSHOP HIDDEN AT THE BACK OF THE CITY’S MUSEUM. He’s building a trench. Right now, it’s a series of wooden pieces that, by the time Into the Fray opens next month, will create a backdrop to the story of six Kamloops men who marched off to war — only two of whom returned. Oomen, curator of the Kamloops Museum and Archives, said the exhibition, which opens on Sept. 18, marks the centenary of the start of the First World War. But, he added, it is really about the men and the women they left behind. The six include George McLean, William Fernie, Leo Smith, Donald Manson, Gordon Flowerdew and Rob Roy Brown. Oomen said Library and Archives Canada was a treasure trove of help in learning more about who the men were, when they enlisted and, for the quartet who didn’t make it back, the circumstances of their deaths, where they died and how. He said it was a lot of work, but it is important their stories be concise and also advance the story of the four years of what many back then referred to simply as the Great War. They entered a war that, for six men from Kamloops, might have been a major disconnect with the realities of their lives, Oomen said. Unlike European troops who had grown up with a history of wars throughout the continent, the Kamloops men were facing some-

Kamloops Museum curator Dennis Oomen holds a bayonet rifle taken from a dead British soldier from the First World War. An exhibit entitled Into the Fray will be held at the museum from Sept. 18 to Dec. 31. A reception will be held from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on opening day. Dave Eagles/KTW

thing unexpected and shocking. It was a war that saw 34,496 Canadians killed in action, another 17,182 dying later from their wounds and 4,960 who were never found and were presumed dead. When the war ended in 1918, Statistics Canada reports, 611,711 men had enlisted, 418,052 were sent overseas and 198,056 died. Back home, women took on projects to do what they could to help the war effort, Oomen said, and their stories will also be told, tales of women who, often through their churches, helped the families left behind, worked with the Red Cross to send items to Canadian prisoners of war and were there when word came back of a family losing a husband, a son or a brother — “a huge sacrifice,” Oomen said. The museum has partnered with the Rocky Mountain Rangers to put together the display, but one highlight came from military historian Jeff Lodge, who donated a bayonet rifle to the museum. The weapon has a story that can also be told, Oomen said, having been taken from a dead British soldier. Hidden inside the rifle were notes on paper and cloth detailing part of the story. Those, along with other markings on the weapon, helped Oomen track down information right down to where the leather sling on it was made. The museum curator said beyond the historical significance of the exhibition is the reality that “World War 1 shaped our world. “We are still dealing with the repercussions of what happened then.”

Dorm room safety tips for university students

EPTEMBER is fast approaching and CSA Group, a leading standards development organization and global provider of testing and certification services, has some important advice for college and university students heading out on their own. When leaving for university, you often want to bring the conveniences of home with you. Dorm rooms may not be designed for the mini-kitchen you want, so it’s important, before you arrive, to check with your school to see what the rules are when it comes to electrical appliances. Remember that helping to ensure the safety of any electrical items you do bring could save your life. “Leaving home

for your own place is an exciting time for students,” said Allison Hawkins, CSA’s manager, corporate affairs. “We want everyone to have a fun at college and university, so CSA Group has offered a few suggestions to help make sure that new-found freedom

includes safety.” CSA Group offers the following tips for your new home away from home: • Check with your university before you bring the appliances. Some residences don’t allow cooking devices or appliances to be used in

it may be a counterfeit, which can lead to serious safety issues. Brand-name companies want you to know whose product you’re buying. Look for a certification mark on your electronics, to help ensure they’ve met applicable performance and safety standards.

your dorm room. Check the rules to make sure the items you plan to have in your room are permitted. • Seek out a recognized name and certification mark. When a product doesn’t include a brand identifier or trademark,

cooking and heating devices. • Don’t overload electrical cords or outlets. When you’re short on outlets, it may be tempting to have your laptop, gaming system, sound system and microwave all plugged into one cord, but that can overload the circuit and potentially cause a fire. Make sure the extension cord is heavy enough for the intended load. If a cord or plug becomes hot when it is plugged in, it may be overloaded. Semi-permanent installations should not use extension cords. • Check with the experts. To confirm CSA Group certification of a product, compare the product’s identification against the certification record in the certified product listing.

CHILDCARE PRESCHOOL/K BEFORE & AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS

Our Children are Our Future Our Philosophy: • To provide a quality preschool program based on individual progress and development • To respect each child as a unique individual with rights and responsibilities • To provide a safe, secure and loving learning environment • To educate based on the belief that parents, are above all, primary in each child’s life and learning

• Make sure you have a working smoke detector and carbonmonoxide alarm. Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless, lethal gas and a carbonmonoxide detector could save your life. Make sure you have a working carbon monoxide alarm and smoke detector installed in your room. Check for a certification mark to help ensure it’s been tested to the applicable standards for safety and performance. • Use your appliances safely. If you are using small appliances, like microwaves, coffee makers or hot plates in your dorm room, make sure you follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Don’t leave items unattended while in use and keep flammable materials away from

Coupe an emotional buy, not a practical one By Neil Moore

METROLAND MEDIA

wheels.ca

NTIL NOW, THE Genesis Coupe has been available in two flavours: Spicy and red hot. Spicy is the turbo-four powered car I will miss when it goes away in 2015 — particularly in R-Spec form. Lightweight and nicely balanced, and equipped with a sport-tuned suspension, limited slip differential and big set of Brembo brakes, the R-Spec comes trackready for just a tick under $29,000. At its heart is a two-litre engine with twin-scroll turbo, rated at 274 h.p. and 275 lb/ft. It also comes standard with a six-speed manual to deliver no shortage of thrust when you plant the pedal. It’s a truly affordable sportscar and, although

sadly discontinued, there may be a silver lining. Word has it that Hyundai is configuring a 3.8-litre variant that should start somewhere near Turbo pricing. Which is good news, as six-cylinder power can make a good thing even better. Currently, the Genesis lineup begins with the base two-litre car at $26,699, climbing to $33,099 for the premium with an automatic transmission. If you want V6 muscle, there’s a hefty price jump for its single “all-in” GT trim level: $37,199 for the manual and $38,999 for the automatic. My tester — a 3.8 GT with six-speed manual gearbox — was a head turner with its 19-inch alloys in a five twin-spoke design, with massive dinner plate-sized rotors (with red four-piston Brembos) peeking out from behind. These details comple-

ment its classic coupe proportions: Long nose, short rear deck and big wheels pushed to the corners. And, with its wide shoulders and a high beltline, the Genesis cuts an aggressive side profile, adorned by sweeping curves through its wheel arches and door panels. Up front are projector headlamps with LED running lights flanking its large black grille. I could live without the black faux air intakes, which stood out on my car’s white hood, but this is a small gripe in a coupe that still looks fresh, five years into the current generation. Under that hood is a DOHC 3.8-litre V6 with gasoline direct injection and dual continuously variable valve timing. It delivers 348 h.p. and 295 lb/ft of torque, capable of launching the GT from rest to 100 km/h in the low

five-second range. The “Casablanca white” exterior of my car came with tan leather upholstery, which not only looks premium but is also a refreshing change from the ubiquitous black/ charcoal that comes standard in so many vehicles. The seats, as you’d expect at this price, are heated up front. They provide high bolstering for lateral support, but weren’t as snug as some sport buckets I’ve tested, making them ideal for the North American backside. The dash has a nice stitched-seam look, and my GT model also received a thick leather-wrapped steering wheel. On the centre stack is an old-school three-gauge layout, which includes instantaneous fuel economy, torque and oil temperature. HVAC is simple buttons and knobs, which meant less fumbling around with touch-

screens while shifting gears. Simple rotary knobs also manage volume and tuning for the audio system. GT models include pushbutton start, aluminum pedals, illuminated scuff plate, navigation with seven-inch touchscreen and backup camera, and 10-speaker Infinity AM/FM/XM/CD/ MP3 audio system. And, there’s hill-start assist for the six-speed manual, a blessing for those who struggle with rollback when starting on an incline. Although the GT comes standard with enough stuff to satisfy most enthusiasts, I could easily be persuaded to drop another $840 for the axle-back exhaust system. Sure it’s an indulgence, but I love the angry snarl when you mash the pedal, and the random pops when downshifting. Ride is predictably on the stiffer side, but the chassis is tight, and the car feels

solid and composed in the corners. The clutch is nicely weighted and takeup is smooth, making it a pleasure to row through the gears. Power delivery is more immediate than the 2.0-litre as there’s no turbo lag. Could the Genesis Coupe work as my daily driver? For a few more years, at least, as my kids are still small. But tall teenagers would find the rear passenger compartment a bit tight. Legroom is ample for midsized adults, but with the car’s low silhouette, headroom is a challenge. Trunk capacity is 283 litres, which is enough for a weekend away and can be expanded by folding the back seats. All that being said, the decision to purchase a Genesis Coupe (or Mustang, Camaro or 370Z), is an emotional, not a practical one.

SHERRY LYNN FORMAN (Henderson) March 24,1945-August 14, 2014 With great sadness we announce the passing of Sherry. She was predeceased by her husbands Donnie Savourd and Ken Forman, and her special friend, Jock Copeland. Also predeceased by her mother, Delia and father, Thomas “Bud” Henderson, and son-in-law, John Dyer. Sherry is survived by her four children: Dean Savourd of Surrey, Darwin (Francie) Savourd of Maple Ridge, Don “Louie” (Carol-Ann) Savourd of Ucluelet, Rhonda (John) Dyer of Kamloops, and grandchildren Sean, Cody, Matthew, Darcy, Bonnie, Dayton, Danny, Ken, Alicia and Stephen, as well as numerous great-grandchildren. Also survived by her siblings: Myrna (Art) Bepple, Ron, Steve (Sandra) and Kim (Sandra) Henderson, and Tracy (Todd) Hubner, and nieces and nephews Kari, Mark, Jackie, Melissa, Christopher, Brianna, Alissa, Ashlee, Kenny, Dustin and Kyle. Special to her also were Jock’s daughters Melody Stutt and Kareen John and their families. Sherry faced many challenges in her life. She had three children and was pregnant and widowed by the age of 21. Her second husband, Ken, helped her raise her four children and was a true father in every sense. They spent 27 happy years together until he passed away from lung cancer. Sherry then returned to her hometown of Kamloops and eventually met Jock, a wonderful man who loved her dearly. She was fortunate to have experienced such love in her life, but along with that came great sadness. Sherry had a special relationship with all of her grandchildren. Especially dear to her heart was her grandson, Stephen. They would call each other every morning and bedtime and several times in between, just to check in and have a chat. Her passing has left a huge hole in his heart and he will miss her terribly. Sherry was a tough, “tell it like it is” lady. She didn’t hold back or have filters, but she was caring and compassionate to those she loved, and will be greatly missed. “Forever in our hearts”

Alan Lee Hodgson passed away suddenly at his home in Kamloops, BC on August 25, 2015 at the age of 60 years.

Al’s life was filled with adventure, fun, and kindness. He was an inspiration to all around him to live life to the fullest, and to never be too serious.

NARENDAR “NED” JASWAL On August 14 2014 with his family at his side, Mr. Narendar “Ned” Jaswal passed away after a short stay in Burnaby General Hospital at the age of 85. He is survived by his children; Susie, Sarita, Bill (Nicole), and Anita; grandchildren Jalees, Rya, and Kira; and his brother Jograj of India. He was predeceased by his wife Rani in 1989, his parents, and his brother Joginder. Born on March 13 1929, Ned was raised in the village of Bham, India. He began his teaching career in India prior to his marriage to Rani in 1953. With daughter Susie, they moved to Canada in 1961, where Ned completed his teaching re-certification at UBC. He took his first and only job in Kamloops, teaching math at NorKam Secondary, until retiring in 1992. He loved his life in Kamloops and was proud to be able to stay there for the remainder of his life. Ned loved to watch his grandchildren grow and to hear of their accomplishments. He could often be seen at a soccer field cheering from the sidelines. They lovingly called him Baba. He was also a beloved Brother, Uncle, and ‘Grandpa” to many extended family members. He was proud of his extended family and of the respect they showed him as the elder statesman. Ned was a devoted family man. He supported his community through his many volunteer activities. He loved spicy foods and became an excellent cook. He also enjoyed a few glasses of scotch while at a family gathering, playing cards, or arguing about politics. He was a news and political aficionado and also loved watching sports...hockey, football or any sports on tv...he especially loved to cheer for his favourite team, the Montreal Canadiens.

Scorpio, if you want to get involved in something, then by all means give it your best shot. If it’s something foreign to you, let others take the reigns until you’re more comfortable.

A new perspective is all you need to feel better this week, Sagittarius. A change of scenery or even looking to an old friend for advice can make a real difference.

The friends you thought you could count on turn out to be the real deal, Capricorn. Just see what they have in store for you this week.You will be so surprised.

It is okay to have strong opinions, Aquarius. But respect the opinions of others who may disagree with your point of view. Learn how to walk away from pointless situations.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

There’s more to the story than meets the eye, Pisces. Quick judgement may land you in hot water. Wait for the dust to settle.
