THE WINDING ROAD

The City of Kamloops’ longboard park in Aberdeen may be the only such facility in Canada — and boarders are enjoying a ride with a view STORY, PAGE A13

The president of the Kamloops-Thompson Teachers’ Association (KTTA) dismissed Premier Christy Clark’s press conference yesterday (Sept. 3), at which she spoke about the wage demands and $5,000 signing bonus language tabled by the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF). “The government put that on the table,�

David Komljenovic said of the idea of a signing bonus. “But, it’s not an issue anymore. We don’t even talk about it at the [bargaining] table.�

Komljenovic is a member of the BCTF’s provincial bargaining committee.

As for wages, he said his union has tabled eight per cent over five years and the government has countered with seven per cent over six years. “So, wages really aren’t a big issue either,� he said. “We’re close on that.�

At her news conference, Clark urged the BCTF to suspend its strike to allow public school classes to open while negotiations continue.

She also insisted the union get “realistic� and move toward the

public-sector pattern on wage increases so the two sides can hammer out a deal to improve class support for special needs, which she called the biggest issue facing the education system. “There are no easy fixes and no shortcuts to achieving long-term labour peace for kids,�

Clark said.

BCTF president Jim Iker ruled out a pause in the strike along the lines of the two-week truce the province proposed last week and is still offering. “The government remains entrenched and unwilling to be flexible,� he told reporters. “We’re not suspending any strike right now.�

The premier had been criticized in recent days for keeping a low

profile — apart from a few posts on Twitter and Facebook — as the teachers strike rolled into September without a deal. “I’ve been here,� she said when asked if she was hiding behind Twitter, adding she has been working with the Education Minister Peter Fassbender, the negotiating team and cabinet. “The teachers union needs to come to the table with a proposal that is realistic,� Clark told reporters. “For heaven’s sake, 150,000 other public sector employees who work just as hard have settled for far less. They didn’t get a $5,000 signing bonus. They didn’t get unlimited massage. They didn’t

get an extra day off every year.�

In fact, the massage demand, when it was still on the table, was for a maximum of $3,000 per year on a doctor’s prescription.

Komljenovic said he’s not surprised Clark doesn’t plan to order teachers back to work when the legislative assembly reconvenes in October. “They realize any legislation would likely be subject to another court decision that we would win again,�

Komljenovic said.

Clark said the eventual deal with teachers must be fair — giving them a deserved raise, but also respecting that other unionized workers have accepted the government’s economic mandate offer on wages.

Komljenovic said he knows many teachers, particularly those families with both parents in the profession, are facing financial challenges. “I personally am in that position,� he said as he and his wife, parents of school-aged children, are teachers. “But, the teachers are angry and they’re resolved and, for them, this is really about student supports.�

St. Ann’s will not accept students during strike

By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops Christian School is reporting no increase in enrolment and St. Ann’s Academy has chosen to not accept late registrants as the ongoing education labour dispute leaves parents looking for options in the private sector.

St. Ann’s principal Shawn Chisholm said registration at the Columbia Street school has remained static.

“There have been many enquiries about registration, but we are not offering enrolment to late registrants out of respect for the parties involved in the labour dispute,” Chisholm said, noting the 135-year-old school received more than 40 enquiries last week alone.

“As a K to 12 school with a strong focus on family and faith, we want people to choose St. Ann’s for the high standards of academic excellence and the unique opportunities we offer to both students and parents,” he said.

“We would not want to be perceived as taking advantage of a situation beyond the control of individuals in our community.”

Kamloops Christian principal Gordon Hohensee said his school at 750 Cottonwood Ave. in North Kamloops has not seen any bump from parents whose children are not in public school due to the labour dispute.

A call to Our Lady of Perpetual Help, the private elemenary school at 635 Tranquille Rd. in North Kamloops, was not returned.

Karl deBruijn, superintendent for the KamloopsThompson school district, said he has heard from some families that they are looking at other options, including private schools or distance learning, but the numbers are not great.

DeBruijn said the only way to track any families who leave the system will come when classes resume and registrations are complete.

• Meanwhile, options are limited for parents looking for child care during the strike.

Janis Arner of the Kamloops YMCA-YWCA said most of its programs, including those offered at the new John Tod Community Centre in North Kamloops, are full.

Families are being given a list of child-care centres that have openings but, she said, many are reluctant to take on new children for what could be a short term.

Families also need to know they will be expected to pay for any child-care services up front and, if they’re relying on the provincial government’s $40 per pre-teen child for each day of the strike, they need to remember that money will not be released until after the strike ends.

• School zones outside of public schools will not revert to the 30 km/h speed limit until classes resume.

However, the Kamloops RCMP is reminding drivers that the 30 km/h speed limit is in effect outside the three private schools that have begun the school year.

Parents protest at MLA offices

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

About 100 people turned out to protest in Kamloops on Tuesday, Sept. 2, as schools across the province failed to open for the year.

Protests took place in front of the Tranquille Road constituency office of Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake and outside the Victoria Street constituency office of Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone.

Organizers passed around an informal petition bearing the statement: “Send our kids back to school.”

Co-organizer Michelle Blundell-Dunker said the protest wasn’t about supporting a side in the dispute, but about sending a message that parents are fed up and want schools to open.

“It’s up to [BCTF president] Jim Iker and the B.C.

Lake denies online claims from teachers

government to figure that stuff out,” she said.

Stone was not in Kamloops for the protest.

However, Lake agreed to meet with the smaller number of protestors in front of his office.

Blundell-Dunker, however, said she left the meeting feeling like the day’s protest didn’t accomplish much.

She said Lake told her his constituents want an affordable deal with teachers, not a return to classes at any cost.

“It it casualties at any cost to keep that balanced budget? Yes it is,” she said. “That’s what’s important to them.”

Blundell-Dunker originally told KTW she planned to protest at Stone’s office until schools re-opened but, following her meeting with Lake, she said she’s reassessing her options and looking for another way to convince MLAs to come to a deal with the province’s teachers.

Despite assertions online by Kamloops teachers, Terry Lake said he never told a group of them taxpayers don’t care about the strike.

The Kamloops-North Thompson MLA said he agreed to meet with a handful of protesters at his constituency office on Tranquille Road on Tuesday, Sept. 2 — a group of about five made up of teachers and parents.

Lake said he invited them into his office about an hour later, after dealing with other business that had to be addressed, and listened to their concerns.

Lake said he told them his government was elected on a balanced-budget platform and the Liberals are determined to stick to it.

Following the meeting, some local teachers took to their Facebook accounts to accuse Lake of saying “getting kids back [into schools] is not important to taxpayers.”

Lake said he explained to the group he has heard from constituents who support the teachers during their strike and from constituents who disagree with it and want schools open.

“I explained that I have to represent all taxpayers,” Lake said.

Baird pledges Canada’s support in Iraq

Former Kamloops resident and Thompson Rivers University student Collin Gordon is reportedly in Syria with his brother, Gregory, fighting with the ISIS terrorist group.

By Mike Blancheld CANADIAN PRESS

Forum on terrorism at TRU today

2014

As a political scientist, Derek Cook finds his classes influenced by current events.

Most recently, his attention was drawn to the story of Collin Gordon, a former business student at Thompson Rivers University who is now reported to be fighting with the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) terrorist group in Syria.

One of the questions Cook hopes generates discussion at a forum he is organizing this week is what a university can do “to inoculate our students against such nonsense, such extremism.”

Cook said the subject is a natural one for him to address as he teaches a class on Middle-Eastern politics and is head of the university’s faculty associations human-rights committee.

He is conducting today’s (Sept.

4) forum under the auspices of his department in room 262 of the campus’s Arts and Education Building.

Cook pointed out this is not the first time Kamloops has hit the international media landscape because of terrorism.

He pointed to the 1985 bombing of an Air India flight, which led to the arrest of Kamloops resident Ajaib Singh Bagri, who was later found not guilty.

Cook hopes to show those at the forum that fundamentalism in religion “doesn’t have to mean extremism.”

But, he added, it’s also important to take a look at what led Gordon to convert to Islam and join the Syrian jihadist organization.

The forum is open to the public and starts at 4 p.m.

10th Annual

Stephen Harper in condemning what both of them called the “barbaric’’ ISIS beheadings of U.S. journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff, both of which were documented in videos posted on the Internet.

“It just horrifies anyone who learns of it,’’ Baird said. “At the same time, we should be very mindful that there have been hundreds, even thousands of Iraqis, men women and children, who have met similar fates.

He promised $10 million for equipment, helmets, body armour and logistics-support vehicles for Iraqi forces, and $5 million more to support efforts to limit the flow of foreign fighters into Iraq and Syria.

BAGHDAD — Accompanied by two of his political rivals, Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird slipped quietly on Wednesday, Sept. 3, into one of the world’s most dangerous countries, where he declared Canada would stand by the people of Iraq.

The two-day visit, which continues today in the northern city of Irbil, began in sweltering Baghdad behind a steely curtain of security complete with flak jackets, speeding armoured convoys and well-armed Iraqi soldiers.

Baird is there to provide both moral and material support to

Iraq, which is reeling under a relentless offensive by the alQaida splinter group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the al Sham (ISIS).

But, Baird was unwilling to cut neighbouring Iran any slack, despite that country’s stated opposition to ISIS’s advance and recent signals it is willing to work with the U.S. and its allies.

Canada still lists Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism.

“Obviously, we have a very different view when it comes to the government of Tehran,’’ Baird said. “It could suspend its considerable support to terrorist organizations not just around the region, but around the world.’’

Baird echoed Prime Minister

House arrest and six-figure fine for tax-evading contractor

By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A contractor who tried to rip off the taxman for more than $220,000 will pay that much in court-ordered fines and serve house arrest — in addition to repaying Canada Revenue Agency for monies owing.

Giuseppe (Joe) Posteraro pleaded guilty Wednesday to three counts of tax evasion under the Income Tax and Excise acts stemming from activities between 2006 and 2010.

One of the counts is against Posteraro personally, while the two others relate to his ownership and control of Cougar Rock Contracting Ltd. The company specializes in concrete and roadbuilding work.

Provincial court judge Len Marchand sentenced the 61-year-old to a $223,000 fine — equal to the amount of tax

Joe Posteraro ripped off the tax man for $223,000 between 2006 and 2010 he evaded — and gave him an 18-month conditional sentence.

The first six months will be spent under house arrest with the next six involving a curfew.

Marchand said the size of the fraud and Posteraro’s success building his company and raising a family stand in contrast to the petty crime often found in provincial court committed by impoverished people with mental-health issues and addictions.

An agreed statement of facts from the defence and Crown said Posteraro and his company improperly claimed personal expenses as those related to Cougar Rock’s business dealings.

Those expenses involved doing home construction and renovations for his son and

daughter. He also failed to report income.

No reasons were entered regarding the company’s or Posteraro’s personal finances or circumstances at the time.

The Crown stayed charges against co-accused and daughter, Melisa Dyck.

“They [two children] stood to derive very substantial personal benefits from Mr. Posteraro’s misconduct,” Marchand said.

In a joint submission on sentencing, defence lawyer Gregory Delbigio noted the fines imposed by the court are in addition to the evaded taxes his client was forced to return to the federal government as part of the investigation.

Delbigio said the company remains a legal entity but is no

longer doing business.

The stigma attached to the conviction against Cougar Rock and Posteraro also mean “contracts that used to be available are no longer available.”

“The final consequences of all this are enormous,” he said.

Posteraro is now working as an employee. As a condition of his sentence, he will be allowed to travel to Alberta for work.

Marchand said Canada’s tax system is built on an assumption of honesty. If people evade taxes, government must raise others’ taxes, run deficits or cut programs.

“If the honour system breaks down, the consequences to the nation are significant,” Marchand said.

NDP arrives in Kamloops to prep for fall

By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Premier Christy Clark is engaging in a war of words with the province’s teachers rather than trying to settle the dispute and get kids back to school, senior New Democrats have charged.

The party’s provincial caucus met in Kamloops yesterday (Sept. 3) and is scheduled to continue until Friday in preparation for the resumption of the legislature, expected in early October.

“She’s continued to blame and inflame,” said NDP Leader John Horgan, in Kamloops for the third time since being acclaimed leader earlier this year.

“Instead of saying we need to get kids back in class by offering to the other side an olive branch, she came with a club.”

In a news conference in Vancouver, Clark told reporters only teachers can end their strike.

She called for a suspension of the strike so talks can resume.

BCTF president Jim Iker called for full-scale mediation, but said teachers will remain off the job.

Horgan said Clark is evading the need for government to settle the dispute.

“It starts with an understanding the court decisions around class size and class composition must be addressed at the front end of any negotiation, not after the fact,” he said.

The New Democrat leader said government has refused to discuss class size and composition under wages and benefits are settled.

“This is the second day of a provincewide strike with no end in sight,” NDP education

critic Rob Fleming said.

“I would have thought today Premier Clark would have outlined what the strategy is . . . to make sure our kids are back in school as soon as possible.”

Fleming said Clark appears bent on a “one-sided victory over teachers.

“Nobody wants that.

They want parties to get in a room, use Mr. [mediator Vince] Ready and get a deal and put our kids first.”

Horgan said the two sides need to talk about issues teachers have twice won in court — class size and composition.

“Let’s put that front and centre and let’s see what Mr. Ready’s magic can do.”

Horgan said the New Democrat Opposition is also discussing job creation as well as “reinvigorating the democratic process.”

B.C. NDP Leader John Horgan (second from right in this photo from the NDP’s 2011 leadership debate) accused Premier Christy Clark of engaging in a war of words with the B.C. Teachers’ Union. Horgan and his New Democratic Party caucus are in Kamloops through the end of the week as they prepare for the October reconveming of the legislature.

Judge rules against blood-sample evidence

Spirit of the West

Location: Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre

Wayne Fedan charged in connection to fatal crash

By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

More than an hour after being involved in a fatal accident in North Kamloops, the 53-yearold man the Crown alleges was driving the pickup registered a blood-alcohol reading 50 per cent higher than the legal limit.

However, a B.C. Supreme Court justice ruled yesterday (Sept.

3) those results obtained through a blood sample taken at Royal Inland Hospital cannot be used as evidence against Wayne Fedan.

Fedan is on trial on charges of impaired driving causing death and dangerous driving causing death.

He was charged after a single-vehicle wreck on Mackenzie Avenue on March 20, 2010, that killed 20-year-old Brittany Plotnikoff and 38-year-old Kenneth Craigdaillie.

Last year, Justice Deborah Kloegman found RCMP breached Fedan’s rights under a section of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms because he was never read those rights from a card.

That meant Fedan’s admission to police he

was driving that night and had been drinking are not admissible.

Similarly yesterday, Kloegman said the police demand for a blood sample at the hospital was not accompanied by a Charter warning.

The investigation was headed at the time by a junior RCMP constable with little experience and placed in charge of a scene with two people dead.

On Tuesday, Dr. Todd Ring testified Fedan came to hospital in serious condition.

Ring said he was concerned about potential for brain injury and spinal fracture.

Under those circumstances, Ring said, he would not allow police or a lawyer to speak with Fedan due to possible medical complications.

The trauma team was focused on getting blood work done and a CT scan completed to determine if Fedan had brain or other internal bleeding, the doctor said.

“If someone’s on the phone [talking to a lawyer], those steps can’t happen. It takes away from his medical care,” Ring said.

Kloegman ruled medical staff at the hospital had Fedan’s medical needs, not his legal rights, in mind.

Those were supposed to be respected by police.

However, RCMP failed to read him his rights from a card, including the right to speak to a lawyer without cost or delay.

Kloegman called it a “complete denial of access” to Fedan’s legal rights.

At the same time, however, the justice did allow as evidence a statement Fedan gave to a paramedic, in which Fedan admitted to driving that night and that he had consumed three rye and cokes beginning five hours earlier.

The lab determined that, at 2:44 a.m. — a little more than an hour after the crash — Fedan had a blood alcohol level of .119 to .130, well above the legal limit of .08.

That evidence will not be allowed at trial, however.

A CT scan found Fedan had neck frac-

tures and there was a danger he would break his spinal cord.

Four days after the accident, he had neck surgery.

Defence lawyer Anthony Varesi argued police had no right to take the second blood sample, based in the earlier breach of his rights.

Varesi also noted that RCMP chatted with Fedan while at the hospital, but in the care of paramedics, before he was admitted.

There was nothing preventing them from reading him his rights and allowing him to speak with a lawyer before the blood sample was taken, Varesi argued.

He also noted the police blood sample was taken before a sample to determine his medical state at the time — something that is contrary to testimony about the haste in getting results to ensure Fedan wasn’t bleeding internally.

The trial is expected to be finished tomorrow.

Kamloops would benefit from a political ward system

N

INE YEARS AGO, I wrote a column promoting the idea of a ward system for choosing our city council members.

The inspiration for that column came not only from a belief it’s the only way to get fair representation, but from a North Shore communitypolicing meeting that saw a woman complain about the lack of a strong voice for her area.

After the column ran, many people dismissed the idea and some of those sitting around the council horseshoe said it wasn’t necessary, Kamloops isn’t big enough and they do a good job representing everyone, they said.

At the time, the only North Shore resident on council was Joe Leong.

Since then, the number has doubled, with Nelly Dever and Pat Wallace calling the North Shore home.

And, with due respect to the number of years Leong was on council, the two of them seem to be much more outspoken, dynamic and committed to their side of the river.

It shows.

Council now has the airport gateway on its radar and, although the work isn’t going to proceed at anything near a quick pace — the cost is a bit of an issue — at least it got attention and some commitment to do something about it.

Council opened up a satellite office on the North Shore for property taxes to be paid and, ironically, Dever argued the $49,000 price tag for the service would be better put

DALE BASS Street LEVEL into fixing potholes over there.

Wallace liked it.

Councillors talking about North Shore issues — would this have happened if they weren’t residents there?

A few months ago, council debated closing some of its polling stations on the North Shore while just changing the venues — not the total — on the South Shore, eventually realizing a move like that might not resonate with voters across the river.

I live in Dallas and, if there’s a gateway to the city that could use some cleanup, it’s out there.

Fifteen years ago, as our family made the trek from Southern Ontario to our new digs here, I recall entering the city out there and wondering what kind of place we had chosen as our new home.

It’s not particularly welcoming — but, once you get closer to the downtown/Sahali/Aberdeen area, everything is much more inviting.

To reiterate that 2005 ward viewpoint, the simple reality is people know what they live.

They wake up to them, they see

them as they head to work and they hear about them from their neighbours.

To have a councillor for each demographic area would ensure there’s someone who cares not just because it’s in the job description, but because they live with the issues unique to their area.

There are other benefits.

It’s expensive to run a city-wide campaign, a cost that might be stopping people who have lots to contribute, but don’t have the finances to put their name on the ballot.

A ward-based campaign could see some really great people with ideas and the voice to bring them forward — much like Dever did with the gateway — step up.

We may not know them or be too interested in learning about them unless we see a reason — and, if it’s someone who comes from the neighbourhood or who talks about the needs of their own area, rather than the KamPlan downtown-centric view, we might at least check them out.

It would be nice to have a voice or two on council who can talk about the need to promote other areas of the city beyond downtown and the big-box hill, to see value in filling some of the empty retail space in Valleyview or in fixing up the road through Westsyde.

It’s not likely going to happen for the 2018 election — but, it’s a discussion worth having. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

Blame both sides for our empty schools Given the dispute between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the employer — which, for all intents and purposes, is the provincial government — has dragged on for months, it seems quite likely there will be no classes into the foreseeable future.

This is completely unacceptable.

There is no shortage of blame to go around, but it is the two primary parties in the dispute who have brought public-school students and their parents to this sad state of affairs.

At one time, the B.C. Liberal government banned strikes by teachers, saying that using students as pawns in a labour dispute was unacceptable.

That was a move that met with considerable public support.

However, teachers disregarded the ban, went on strike in 2005 and actually gained considerable public sympathy, partly due to the fact the B.C. Liberals had torn up part of their existing contract, and partly due to the fact their emphasis was on class size and composition.

That’s the emphasis again — and this time the strike is perfectly legal.

However, students have already suffered considerable damage, due to most of June being a write-off from an education perspective.

Now it appears the first part of September, and maybe the whole month, won’t be any different. A $40 a day payment to parents of younger students is no recompense.

The public has absolutely no control over the BCTF and any discipline to be handed out there must be done

by BCTF members, if enough of them disagree with the union executive’s actions in continuing this strike.

The public does have at least a measure of control over the provincial government. The ability to recall MLAs exists, although it is very difficult to do.

If the government doesn’t start showing a lot more concern for students’ education and actually move heaven and earth to get classrooms open, it would be appropriate for parents in all ridings held by Liberal MLAs to look into starting recall campaigns.

The fact is, neither side is taking students’ education all that seriously.

Do we really want a two-tiered system?

Do we want to be like Brazil?

Residents invited to join health-care talk Editor: Concern about what’s happening to our healthcare system is on everyone’s mind — and now is the time to do something about it.

A group of concerned citizens is organizing a community health-care consultation in partnership with the Village of Ashcroft, Thompson-Nicola Regional District Area I, the Interior Health Authority, UBC Okanagan and the Wellness and Health Action Coalition.

Participation in the consultation is by invitation. Invitations have been sent to groups in the Ashcroft, Cache Creek, Clinton and Spences Bridge area that have an interest in wellness and health activities.

Invited groups include health-service groups, municipal and regional district governments, native bands, recreation groups, service clubs, churches, seniors’ groups, education groups and major businesses.

All residents in the service area are invited to provide input to the consultation through any group to which they belong.

Each group is asked to discuss three questions: 1) What aspects of health care are working in your community? 2) What aspects are not working and why? 3) What possible innovations might make things better?

Each community group is then asked to appoint a delegate to the consultation and present their findings.

The consultation will be held on Tuesday, Sept.

16 in Ashcroft. Facilitator for the consultation will be Dr. Barbara Pesut, associate professor of the School of Nursing at UBC Okanagan.

To ensure your ideas are heard, contact any community leader to have them bring your comments or concerns forward.

Man acquitted in stabbing death succumbs to cancer

By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A reclusive Kamloops man who was found not guilty after stabbing to death an aggressive crack dealer outside a North Shore apartment block in 2007 has died.

After a B.C. Supreme Court trial in 2009, Michael Dick was acquitted on all charges in the death of 21-yearold Devin Prince.

Dick, 53, was diagnosed with tongue cancer in January.

He had part of his tongue removed and succumbed to the disease in hospice care on Monday, Sept. 1.

Advocate David Morrison said the last days of Dick’s life were probably some of his best.

“He died peacefully at the hospice,” Morrison said.

“I told them what he had been through and they treated him like a king there. I think it was the only time in his life he had peace of mind and felt safe.”

Dick was born and raised in Kamloops, but received no formal education whatsoever, Morrison said, noting his communication skills were almost nil and he was unable to care for himself.

On Aug. 25, 2007, Dick was confronted by Prince outside the Royal Avenue apartment building in which Dick lived.

He had been approached and threatened by Prince the previous day.

When Dick told Prince and his girlfriend

they were trespassing, Prince fired a makeshift blow-torch in Dick’s direction.

Dick walked away, but was tackled by Prince.

As he was standing up, Dick pulled a steak knife he had been keeping for protection and swung it at Prince before retreating inside the building.

Prince died before an ambulance could get him to hospital and Dick turned himself in to police immediately.

During his trial, witnesses described Dick as an extremely shy, genuine man who excelled at chess and enjoyed collecting comic books, stamps and coins.

Morrison said the incident with Prince threw Dick further into isolation.

In 2009, Michael Dick was acquitted on all charges connected to the 2007 stabbing death of Devin Prince in North Kamloops. Dick died this week after a battle with cancer. Dick’s advocate, David Morrison, noted he had a tough life, receiving no formal education and living reclusively. KTW file photo

“He was a hermit and a recluse and the way people treated him made him even more of a recluse,” he said.

“It just made him withdraw more and more. He was always kind and let things go, but he was scared — he was scared of the world after that.”

Morrison said Dick is survived by a brother and sister in Kamloops, as well as relatives elsewhere in B.C., Saskatchewan and Seattle.

“He never had it easy,” Morrison said.

“I think he stood pretty tall for somebody who had the life that he had.”

Tribunal dismisses complaint against TRU

By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.co

The B.C. Human Rights Tribunal has dismissed a complaint against Thompson Rivers University due to the fact the complainant did not give TRU properly requested medical information.

Jan Petrar, who owned a local travel firm prior to joining the university, filed a complaint against Thompson Rivers University and Baihua Chadwick.

In her complaint, Petrar, the university’s former manager of international services and study abroad, claimed senior administrator Chadwick started pressuring her

in late 2009 about performance when the real issue was workload. “I had been accused of having a mental disability related to my MS [multiple sclerosis] and felt inappropriately pressured with no evidence to back her claims, save some vague accusations,� Petrar wrote in her complaint to the tribunal. “She [Chadwick] was demanding a medical assessment with no basis for concern.�

Petrar also claimed she was “accused of being mentally disabled, incompetent, profane and a racist . . . with the clear implication it is because of my mental disability relating to my MS,� tribunal member Walter Rilkoff quoted in the decision.

Meanwhile, the university gave a letter to Petrar, alleging she provided incorrect information to students, made inappropriate comments about certain countries and ethnic groups and used “vulgar language toward a colleague,� Rilkoff’s decision stated.

The university argued Petrar failed to provide a medical update and would not fill out a psychological-functional capacity evaluation form needed to accommodate any medical condition.

In July 2012, Petrar filed an internal complaint about Chadwick based on the university’s respectful workplace and harassmentprevention policy.

The university found, however, that while

Petrar had ongoing work issues, there was no personal harassment or harassment based on her medical condition.

In November, Petrar notified the university she was taking indefinite medical leave.

One month later, she filed the complaint with the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal.

In dismissing the complaint, Rilkoff agreed with a submission by the university that Petrar’s complaint had little chance of success. “As a result of her medical leave and refusal to provide the properly requested medical information, TRU had been precluded from addressing what appear to be ongoing and serious performance issues,� he wrote.

Two die in Labour Day crashes in Kamloops area Emergency crews were kept busy and travellers were kept waiting as serious crashes claimed two lives and congested area highways over the Labour Day long weekend.

At about 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 30, crews were called to a single-vehicle crash south of Little Fort on Highway 5, north of Kamloops.

A car full of tourists from Ontario left the highway and rolled down a steep embankment, killing a female passenger.

The B.C. Coroners Service has identified her as Lenore Grace Plett, 50, of Dryden, Ont. The female driver and a male passenger suffered

serious injuries and are being treated at Royal Inland Hospital.

Drugs and alcohol are not believed to have been factors, according to police.

On Sunday, Aug. 31, a single-vehicle wreck on the Coquihalla Highway just north of Merritt snarled traffic again.

According to police, a Mazda 3 heading south entered the ditch and rolled several times. The driver, a 30-yearold man, suffered minor injuries, but his 27-year-old passenger was pronounced dead at the scene.

The B.C. Coroners Service has identified her as

Elizabeth Joan Savoie of Coquitlam.

Drugs, alcohol and speed are not believed to have been factors.

On Monday, Sept. 1, a two-vehicle crash involving a car and a tractor-trailer snarled Coquihalla traffic near the Lac Le Jeune exit just south of Kamloops.

Two 19-year-old men in the car were injured — one critically and the other with minor injuries.

Investigators believe the car was parked on the shoulder of the highway with mechanical issues, partially in the right-hand lane, when it was struck by the transport truck.

The investigation is ongoing.

LONGING TO BOARD

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The two winding strips of pavement perched on a lot above Pacific Way elementary may not look like much to the uninitiated, But, to longboarders around the globe, the city’s new longboarding park in Aberdeen is a major first.

“I race professionally and I checked with guys I’ve met on the race circuit — guys in Germany, guys in Australia and guys in Asia and Brazil — and there is no longboard park in the world,” said Patrick Mutrie, who helped design the park with other leaders of the Kamloops Longboarding Club.

The park is technically part of the new West Highlands Park the city is building on the former Aberdeen Hills golf course.

The longboarding venue was originally planned to go in the park itself, but was moved after concerns from neighbours.

Jeff Putnam, the city’s manager of parks and facilities, said the course cost about $100,000 to build, well under the original budget of $160,000.

An official grand opening will be held this month.

While it was built by the city’s road crew, Putnam said the parks department looked to longboarders to come up with its layout.

“That’s what we’re really proud of and that’s what’s going to make it successful,” he said. “We are literally breaking new ground for sure, so we wanted to make sure who we were building it for, that they were happy with it.”

Though skateboard parks are nothing new, a park dedicated to longboarding — which takes its cues

CUSTOMER APPRECIATION GREEN FEE RATE FOR from surfing and snowboarding — has different requirements.

“Longboarding at its core is going downhill and taking corners,” said Mutrie, noting Kamloops’ skate parks are designed with an eye to tricks and bowl-riding.

“I would be in the hospital in two seconds if I went to the skateboard park,” Mutrie quipped.

With no existing parks from which to take design cues, members of the Kamloops Longboarding Club instead looked at pedestrian pathways and Summerland’s Giants Head Mountain, home to a popular annual freeride event.

“It’s a single-lane road with about 14 hairpin turns in it,” Mutrie said.

“It’s a lot bigger than our park, but it’s not a longboard park. So, we took that concept, we looked at some walking pathways in Vernon and we looked at some golf-course pathways in Sun Rivers and Tobiano and said, ‘Let’s try to combine a bunch of features we’ve found in all these.’”

The result is an 380-metre longboard course split into intermediate and advanced runs.

Each run is set on a slope with a series of turns — the steeper the slope and more closely set the turns, the greater the challenge.

“The turns make a huge difference because, instead of just a straight ride down, the turns allow you to really lean on your board — and then you can put it sideways as well in a drifting manoeuvre, kind of like a snowboard carve,” Mutrie said.

The park will be a challenge for newer longboarders, so Mutrie recommends going with a more experienced boarder and starting midway down the lessadvanced run to get the hang of the turns.

Can I kiss you?

It’s a simple question, often one that’s never voiced at the beginning of any relationship.

But, in the opinion of Mike Domitrz, it needs to be asked. The words need to be spoken and the person asking needs to wait for the answer.

The question is also the title of the session Domitrz will present to first-year students at Thompson Rivers University today (Sept. 4) at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. in the Grand Hall.

Domitrz created a seminar that is interactive and focuses on the need to always ask first. It also touches on what bystanders should do, the need for victims of sexual assaults to report them and for their families and

Creating a buzz with big lawsuit CANADIAN PRESS

seeks $450 million in damages.

None of the allegations have been tested in court and the two companies were not immediately available for comment.

TORONTO — Two large honey producers have launched a proposed class-action lawsuit against two chemical companies that make pesticides the beekeepers allege are linked to bee deaths.

The two family-owned Ontario businesses say they want to recover significant losses and damage that were suffered by Canadian beekeepers due to the widespread use of neonicotinoid pesticides.

Their statement of claim alleges Bayer Inc. and Syngenta International AG were negligent in their development and distribution of neonicotinoids, as well as permitting or failing to prevent damages to beekeepers.

They allege the two companies also knew or ought to have known the insecticides, which are applied to crops, would cause damage.

The lawsuit, which has yet to be certified as a class action,

The statement of claim notes several products containing the neonicotinoids produced by the two companies have received conditional approvals by the federal government.

A Health Canada report has suggested seeds treated with neonicotinoids contributed to the

majority of bee deaths in Ontario and Quebec in 2012, likely due to exposure of the pesticide-laced dust during planting.

The Canadian Association of Professional Apiculturists has said the overall number of bee colonies in Canada has increased over the years, although the annual “winter loss’’ reported by beekeepers averaged 25 per cent, well above the acceptable level of 15 per cent.

The losses were particularly pronounced in Ontario, where 58 per cent of bees didn’t survive the winter, while other provinces lost, on average, about 19 per cent of bees.

While the association’s survey pointed to the weather as the main culprit for the bee deaths, apiculturists in Ontario and Quebec also listed acute and chronic pesticide damage, or insufficient recovery from pesticide exposure last year, as contributing factors.

Key interest rate remains at one per cent CANADIAN PRESS

The cost of lines of credit and variable-rate mortgages are not expected to change any time soon as the Bank of Canada held its key interest rate steady at one per cent on Wednesday, Sept. 3.

In a largely status-quo statement, the central bank indicated it does not foresee enough of a change in Canada’s economic fortunes to adjust the rate from the same level it has held for the last four years.

“Overall, the risks to the outlook for inflation remain roughly balanced, while the risks associated with household imbalances have not diminished,’’ the bank said.

Economists, who had widely expected no

change to the overnight rate, found Wednesday’s statement to be less gloomy — although not necessarily more optimistic — than the bank’s last release in July.

“We just think the message was a little less downbeat than in the summer,’’ said Doug Porter, chief economist with BMO Capital Markets.

“I would characterize it as moving close to neutral. I mean, they’ve always said they were in neutral . . . but you often had the impression that it was neutral with a big ‘but’ — but, we’re worried about the downside.’’

Gone in this statement are past references to “serial disappointment’’ with the economy’s performance, a “soft landing’’ for housing and that closing the output gap “hinges critically’’ on stronger exports and business investment.

Ottawa may take part in talks on missing, murdered aboriginal women CANADIAN PRESS

HALIFAX — The federal justice minister is leaving the door ajar to Ottawa’s participation in a roundtable on murdered and missing aboriginal women that was requested last week by the premiers and five aboriginal leaders.

Justice Minister Peter MacKay’s office issued a statement last week that didn’t directly address the call for a roundtable, but he said on Wednesday, Sept. 3, his office could participate in some form of roundtable.

“The progress that is underway must continue,’’ MacKay said.

“That includes meetings and consultations for certain and could include a roundtable of sorts.’’

The premiers and aboriginal leaders made their request during their annual meeting in Charlottetown.

They didn’t define precisely when or how the roundtable would proceed.

In May, the RCMP

released a study of 1,181 cases involv-

ing aboriginal women since 1980.

The study found aboriginal women made

up 4.3 per cent of the Canadian population,

but accounted for 16 per cent of female

homicides and 11.3 per cent of missing women.

LONDON — Prime Minister Stephen Harper said people should be talking about what Canada has contributed to international military missions and not necessarily how much the country spends on defence.

His government is under pressure from allies to boost the defence budget in light of the ongoing crisis in Ukraine and the rising threat in Syria and Iraq posed by the Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham.

Despite the crisis, he said Canada will continue to be frugal in its defence spending.

The federal government earmarks about one per cent of the country’s gross domestic product on the military, which is about half what NATO expects.

HERE’S A CONUNDRUM IN THE crease on Mark Recchi Way. Kamloops Blazers general manager Craig Bonner has the pre-season left to decide which goaltenders he will carry into the 2014-2015 campaign — and the choice won’t be an easy one.

“They’ve all been good throughout the whole camp,” Bonner said of the three remaining netminders — Bolton Pouliot, Cole Kehler and Connor Ingram.

“It’s not going to be an easy decision, but good for these guys.

“It bodes well for them now

and in the future.”

Pouliot, 20, is the incumbent starter and seems a safe bet to start the season as the No. 1 guy.

Nabata working hard for future with Canada

By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Scott Nabata’s performance at the Pan American Gymnastics Championships gave the world a peek at his potential.

What the future holds for the gymnast now depends on how hard he wants to work.

“He’s shown me he has an incredible amount of potential on pommel horse, maybe more than anyone in the country right now,” said Tony Smith, men’s national team director for Gymnastics Canada.

“I do see so much potential in him, but now it’s kind of up to him and his coach to put that potential to work,” Smith continued.

“For him to go from the level he’s at to the level he would need to be to be on an Olympic team, for example, now it’s going to come down to some really hard work.

“When you’ve got talent, you

can learn stuff and he certainly has that.”

The Kamloops Gymnastics and Trampoline Centre product returned to the Tournament Capital this week, after spending more than a week at the Mississauga, Ont., championships.

The 18-year-old competed in four of the six artistic gymnastics disciplines in his first international event with Canada — floor exercise, pommel horse, parallel bars and high bar.

He finished 64th overall, in part because he didn’t compete in the still rings or vault.

Nabata had the fourth-highest score among athletes who competed in four events.

Three of his four scores also contributed to Canada’s fifth place team finish.

“It was completely different than anything I’ve really experienced before,” Nabata told KTW. “Seeing different countries at that level — because Brazil, I

believe, Cuba and Puerto Rico, they all sent their A-teams that are probably going to the World Championships and Olympics — so seeing that level of gymnastics, it’s a completely different perspective of what you’re looking at and what you want to be for your future.”

With an eye to the future, Nabata’s focus is now on working in the gym with local coach Hisayoshi Takahashi.

In 2015, both the Pan Am Games and the World Championships are on the radar for the local athlete. He knows he’ll have to put in the work to get there.

“They like my gymnastics,” Nabata said.

“I’m at the point where it’s like, if I push really hard, I have a good chance of going to a lot more international competitions.

“They really enjoy how I do things. I really push hard when I go to these training camps and competitions.”

Broncos bucked by conference stallion

After starting the season firmly in the saddle, the Kamloops Broncos have been bucked into the reality of the two-tiered B.C. Football Conference.

The Broncos recorded their second-consecutive loss on the weekend, a 70-24 drubbing at the hands of the Langley Rams. Kamloops is now 3-2 in B.C. Football Conference action and sits third, with Langley (4-1) and the Okanagan Sun (4-1) topping the conference.

Kamloops had one rushing touchdown, a carry by Sheldon Brown.

The team also scored twice in the air, one a 24-yard reception by Colin Mather, the other a reception by Derek

Yachison. Kicker Aaron Smit chipped in with a 35-yard field goal.

Broncos quarterback Steve Schuweiler was 16-for-32 in the air for 294 yards. He threw one interception and both touchdowns. Jacob Palmarin led Kamloops in rushing with 37 yards on the ground.

WolfPack soccer embarks on CIS adventure

After going undefeated in four preseason matchups, the WolfPack women’s soccer team seems poised to take its success to the CIS level.

Thompson Rivers University won a pair of matches against the University of Northern British Columbia Timberwolves on the weekend, topping the Prince George club 2-0 and 3-0 on the weekend.

The team also played to a win and a draw earlier in the month.

The men, on the other hand, have struggled early. The team enters the regular season still searching for its first win after going 0-2-3 in the pre-season.

Both teams get underway on Friday, Sept. 12, against the Trinity Western University Spartans at Hillside Stadium.

Ingram, Kehler, jostle for No. 2 X From A17

In 23 regular-season games with the Mintos, Ingram posted a goals-against average of 1.98 and a .928 save percentage.

Ferguson, a Lantzville product, spent last season with the midget AA Notre Dame Argos, recording an .896 save percentage in the regular season before stepping up in the playoffs, posting a .945 save percentage in six games.

He is still only 15, turning 16 on Sept. 20, but Ferguson boosted his stock in the Blazers’ Blue vs. White intrasquad game at Interior Savings Centre on Aug. 26, making 30 saves and posting a shutout in regulation. “Coming into this camp, all I was telling myself is it’s hard for a young goalie to make a team like this, but I want to come in and beat everyone else,� Ferguson said.

Pouliot, Kehler and Ingram were also perfect, stopping everything that came their way.

PRE-SEASON ACTION KAM @ VIC Saturday, Sept. 6 (at UBC) KAM @ VAN Sunday, Sept. 7 (at UBC) PG @ KAM Friday, Sept. 12

The goaltenders combined to make 82 saves.

All three goaltenders have seen game action in the Blazers two pre-season games to this point. “I expected them to be good, but I don’t know if I expected them to be this good,� Bonner said. “We’re going to play it by ear and see how they all perform.�

In a 5-4 shootout win over the Vancouver Giants on Friday, Aug. 29, Pouliot and Ingram split time in net, with

each giving up a pair of goals.

Pouliot stopped 12 of the 14 shots he faced, while Ingram gave up two goals on 10 shots.

Ingram and Kehler split the duties the next night, a 5-0 loss to the Kelowna Rockets.

Ingram started the game and gave up all five goals.

Bonner has three more pre-season games to formulate a plan. Kamloops is playing at UBC on Saturday, Sept. 6, against Victoria and Sunday, Sept. 7 against Vancouver.

Prince George is in town

to wrap the exhibition slate at ISC on Sept. 12.

Game time is 7 p.m.

Pouliot proved himself to be a capable starter last season and Bonner knows what he can expect from the 20-yearold.

The risk of carrying two 17-year-old goaltenders is obvious — they’re young, inexperienced and potentially fragile.

That doesn’t seem like the course of action Bonner will take, but he did not rule out a trade before the deadline in January. “I have no idea what’s going to happen,� Pouliot said. “Whatever is best for the organization. If they want to go with two 17s, they go with two 17s. They’re in control. “I’m just going to keep working to make the decision hard.�

For now, it seems the most heated competition is for the No. 2 spot, with Ingram and Kehler going down to the wire.

How well I do remember the blessings that we had, all the fun and happiness the good times and the bad.

How well I do remember the love we always shared all the things you said and did that showed you really cared.

How well I do remember you’ll forever play a part, in all our priceless moments that are treasured in my heart How well I do remember the day God called you home, you slipped into his loving arms and I was left alone.

Now my heart will carry memories of your love that I did see, until we meet in heaven where the best is yet to be.

Love, Marg

To my Son, our Dad, our Brother, our Friend.

It has been 4 years since that tragic accident; with no chance to grieve.

Thankfully the Court of Appeal victory has proven the truth; we can now move on. We will always remember your grin, your kindness, your compassion and your being there in times of trouble and fun. We will never get over you. It will never be easy. With time, we should manage.

We love you.

We miss you.

Oh Great Spirit ...

Oh Great Spirit Whose voice I hear in the wind Whose breath gives life to the world Hear me I come to you as one of your many children I am small and weak I need your strength and your wisdom May I walk in beauty Make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset Make my hands respect the things that you have made And my ears sharp to hear your voice Make me wise, So that I may know the things you have taught your children The lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock Make me strong, Not to be superior to my brothers But to be able to ght my greatest enemy — myself Make me ever ready to come to you with straight eyes So that when life fades, as the fading sunset Thomas S.

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”

FRANCES ANN MCEACHERN (née McCoy)

grand-dogs Cassius and Rusty; as well as her and Don’s extended family, Kaleigh Stankevich (Warren, Madison and Joey) and Kim MacKinnon (Chris, Liam and Jane).

July 23, 1946 ~ August 27, 2014

She will forever be missed by her loving siblings Virginia McCoy (Frank Macdonald), Heather McCoy (Ian Sharpe), Alex McCoy (Brenda Kinnear) and Neil McCoy (Kathy), as well as many very special nieces, nephews, cousins, sister-in-law Faye Fransson and family (Keith, Brenda, Matt, Nicole, Jeff and Lisa), and brother-in-law Ken Gibson (Carol). Frances was predeceased by grandparents Aloysius (Alex) and Celina McCoy; parents Neil and Violet McCoy; and her brother-in-law Larry Fransson.

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts we announce the passing of Frances Ann McEachern (née McCoy).

LILLIAN SIMSON

Born in Fort William, Ontario, on July 23, 1946, Frances attended St. Martin’s and Rosslyn Road Elementary Schools, The family wishes to thank the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice and was a graduate of St. Patrick’s High Staff and volunteers for the kindness shown to Fran in her final days, School. especially Judy, Erin and Dave whose compassion was a solace to Fran Nursing was her chosen profession and and her family. We also want to thank Dr. Howie whose care for Fran went in 1969 Frances graduated from McKellar above and beyond in helping his patient during her journey!

School of Nursing, and remained on staff as a Registered Nurse at McKellar General in Fort William/Thunder Bay. She later moved to British Columbia and continued her career as a pediatric nurse at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops.

By request there will be no service, but a celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations to the “Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice” in Kamloops would be appreciated (72 Whiteshield Crescent S, Kamloops, BC, V2E 2S9).

Cards of condolences can be mailed to Fran and Don’s most recent Following her life in nursing, Fran devoted her life to her children and to address: 1413 Rose Hill Rd., Kamloops, BC, V2E 1R8 (250) 318-8082. making her house a warm and welcoming place for family and friends.

Condolences may be made to www.schoeningfuneralservice.com Any visitor to Fran’s home wasn’t surprised to leave wearing something Schoenings Funeral Service she had knitted while listening to jazz and classical music...a lot of 250-374-1454 classical music.

Fran lived a life filled with love for her family, and welcomed her own arrival into grand motherhood.

She and her partner, Don Gibson, spent their lives together in Kamloops where their common interests included gardening, caring for family, and escaping the worst parts of Canadian winters in travel. Frances’ last few winters were spent in the Dominican Republic where the local friendships she and Don made gave free rein to Fran’s generosity; whether providing school supplies to local schools, building supplies to local families, buying ice cream for a grandmother and her grandchildren on a blistering hot day, or, to Don’s surprise, giving away her laptop to a needy family.

Family members in their reminisces of Fran’s life, speak of how “Franny taught us how to care, give, and love one another.”

In her life, Frances ‘Fran’ McEachern was a much loved person whose presence will be missed, but whose memory will never diminish.

Frances is survived by her loving partner Don Gibson; daughters Kristen McEachern (Aaron Toombs) and Stacey McEachern Waugh (Michael Waugh); grandchildren Raina, Eden, and Callum; Bruce McEachern;

A Celebration of Life for Lillian will be held at 2:00 pm on Saturday, September 6, 2014 at the Kamloops Yacht Club, 1140 River Street

Learning to live with grief of death, job, loss

By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

E

lisabeth Kubler-Ross, a pioneering psychiatrist on death and dying, once wrote that a person “will grieve forever. You will never get over the loss of a loved one. You will learn to live with it.”

Mary Widmer works with Kamloopsians to help them learn to live with grief, no matter what its source — and it can come from unexpected life events beyond death, she said.

People can grieve the loss of a job, a health problem, a divorce, being a victim of a crime.

She experienced the last one when there was a break-in at her house and lost that sense of safety.

There are ways to work through grief, she said, including a sixweek program she calls Climbing Out of the Valley: Discovering

Life after Loss.

Widmer is providing the sessions starting on Sept. 24 at Kamloops United Church, with assistance from church minister Bruce Comrie.

The project is not designed to boost the church itself, encourage people to attend Sunday service or preach the Bible, Comrie said.

Rather, it comes from a discussion among the city’s clergy — people others often turn to when dealing with grief.

They are aware there are many in Kamloops who are grieving without any supports in place and Widmer’s expertise as a counsellor was seen as a way to try to engage that community.

There’s no time limit on grief, Widmer said, although society imposes one.

“Our whole culture fosters the belief you need to just get over it,” she said.

“You get three days of bereavement leave in most workplaces and then you’re supposed to be better.”

Widmer said that’s not enough time to work through the stages of grief, a process Kubler-Ross identified as including denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.

Widmer identifies three main areas a person goes through.

First there is the trauma and shock, feelings that can last for days, weeks or months.

Next comes the readjustment stage, the time when a person has to learn how to live a changed life.

Finally, there’s the acceptance this is your new life, it’s changed and you have to discover who you are.

Widmer said often, once a person has worked through the shock and is ready to be angry, they find themselves with the energy to touch those emotions, but

without direction.

That’s when the sessions she offers often work because, in the group setting, each person can find they’re not alone.

“It’s by far the most effective way of supporting people,” she said. “When I do these, I bring together total strangers and, after two hours, I can’t get them out of the room.”

Comrie said telling their stories helps heal people — but, it also can be the source of frustration when friends have heard the stories often and struggle to continue to be supportive.

“It’s how we heal,” he said.

“It’s how we process what has happened, by telling our story over and over again. And, often, for people, nobody wants to hear your story again.”

He’s hoping to see men register for the sessions because he’s found all too often men shut down when

grieving, don’t seek support and, in the case of a dead spouse, have no one to talk with about their loss.

Talking and sharing isn’t required, however. Widmer said she often works with groups that have some people who can’t voice their feelings yet — and that’s OK. The sessions are designed to be a therapy group “But, they are therapeutic,” she said.

There’s also homework, optional, but beneficial, Widmer said.

Registration for the sessions can be done at the church, 421 St. Paul St., by calling its office at 250-372-3020 or by email to kuchurch@shaw.ca.

A recommended donation of $90 is included, but there is financial assistance available.

Sessions will be held on Wednesdays from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. and the program wraps up on Oct. 29.

Teens, tweets raised $1.4 million for MS Canada

Over a million dollars was raised by those who chowed down on A&W Teen Burgers in August.

The fast-food chain is reporting $1.45 million raised in support of the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada and its programs after the sixth annual Cruisn’ to End MS day on Aug. 21.

One dollar from every Teen Burger went to the cause, along with donations from mugs, paper cutouts and online giving.

The chain also donated $1 from every RSVP to the event on Facebook and for every tweet or retweet with the hashtag #CrusinToEndMs. More than 800 A&W restaurants across Canada hosted events with music, car hop service, chugging contests and visits from the A&W Great Root Bear.

Volunteer for patrol, get free pass Those looking to volunteer this winter may want to look to the ski slopes.

Ski patrollers are being recruited for the upcoming season.

Strong intermediate skiers and snowboarders of all ages are encouraged to take part in first-aid training that will provide safety to local ski resorts.

In return, ski patrollers earn a season’s pass.

The Canadian Ski Patrol is a registered non-profit organization with over 4,500 members at around 230 mountain resorts from B.C. to

Nova Scotia.

It provides a 10-week, 80-hour advanced first aid course from September to November.

For those with equivalent training, a short bridging course and weekend refresher with returning ski patrollers may be applicable.

In December, a four-day toboggan training course over the course of two weekends teaches volunteers how to safely locate, treat and transport a patient off the hill to medical care.

THURSDAY, September 4, 2014 v B9

teresathetraveler.ca

F YOU WANT TO SEE A GRAND CANYON, you need not travel all the way to Arizona when we have one right in our own backyard.

The Painted Chasm near Clinton is BC’s answer to the Grand Canyon.

At the end of the last ice age, 10,000 years ago, water from the melting glaciers carried so much silt that it carved

Fresh • Local • Sustainable •

the eight-kilometre-long, 600-metre wide and 300-metre deep chasm.

A ridge of gravel that stretches 40 kilometres upstream was formed by the glacier, northwest from the head of the chasm.

Chasm Provincial Park was formed to protect the unique river canyon of the Chasm Creek Valley, which is part of the Bonaparte River Valley.

In 1995, the park was enlarged from 141 hectares to 3,067 hectares to protect more of the area’s colourful geological formations and ponderosa pine forests.

Remarkable

HOW TO GET THERE — The Painted Chasm is located along Chasm Creek Valley.

It can be accessed by taking Highway 97 to 16 kilometres north of Clinton, then turning right onto Chasm Road and driving four kilometres to the park on a paved road.

Just past the lookout is another pullout with an outhouse.

Park there, follow the chain link fence to the trailhead and follow it along the side of the Chasm.

FAITH

A rainbow sets on the nut-job prophet

R

EMEMBER the John 3:16 guy?

He would stand in a strategic spot at major sporting events in the 1980s wearing a rainbow-coloured afro wig, holding a sign saying “John 3:16”.

His name was Rollen Stewart.

After watching a TV evangelist in 1980, Stewart became a bornagain Christian and was convinced it was his mission to spread the word.

Stewart became the bane of TV sports producers, some of whom threatened their cameramen’s jobs if they gave him any coverage.

Stewart attended the Masters, major horse races, the 1980 Olympic Summer Games in Moscow, the World Cup, the Indy 500, NFL playoff games — even Prince Charles and Lady Diana’s wedding.

CHRIS KEMPLING You Gotta Have FAITH But, by the end of the 1980s, Stewart went off the deep end.

He started letting off stink bombs at various events, saying, “God thinks this stinks.”

He blew an air horn when Jack Nicklaus was getting ready to putt at the 1991 Masters.

Stewart’s marriage fell apart when he allegedly choked his wife for holding a John 3:16 sign in the wrong place at a sporting event.

The end came in 1992, when he took three people hostage at

the Los Angeles Hyatt Hotel and threatened to shoot at airplanes landing at nearby LAX. Stewart is serving three life sentences for kidnapping at a prison in California and has been repeatedly denied parole.

It’s a sad story, but what is it about that particular Bible verse that was so compelling for Stewart?

Here is what John 3:16 says: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.”

The passage is only 26 words in length, but they sum up the entire message of Christianity.

There are five elements of the Christian faith in this verse: � “For God so loved the world . . .”

Oceans of ink have been written about love between humans, but

the love of God is on a much higher plane.

Why does he love us when we fail so abysmally at loving our neighbours, doing evil repeatedly, hating Him and even denying He exists at all?

Psalm 8:4 asks wonderingly: “What is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?”

It is a mystery.

We don’t deserve God’s love, but he loves us anyway.

Probably the most powerful statement of that love comes in a hymn called The Love of God, written by Frederick Lehman in 1917, which itself is based on Jewish poem penned in 1096 by a German rabbi: “Could we with ink the oceans fill, “And were the skies of parchment made, “Were every stalk on earth a quill,

“And every man a scribe by trade, “To write the love of God above, “Would drain the oceans dry “Nor could the scroll contain the whole, “Though stretched from sky to sky. � “ . . . that he gave his one and only Son . . .”

It is quite a claim to state you are the son of God, born of a virgin, but that is a central teaching of Christianity.

Jesus referred to God as “my Father in heaven.”

When he stated clearly to some doubting Jews that “I and the Father are one,” they picked up rocks to stone him to death because they realized he was claiming to be divine.

The miracles, rising from the dead, the ascension into heaven —all point to Jesus as unlike any human born — before or since.

� “ . . . that whoever believes in him . . . ” This belief needs to be more than just a belief that Jesus existed.

It requires a belief that he is the son of God, that he died for your sins, rose from the dead and is the personal saviour of your soul.

The apostle Paul wrote, “If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” � “ . . . should not perish . . .”

We all die, so this phrase obviously means something else.

To perish in this context means to die spiritually and spend an eternity in hell.

Some people don’t believe in hell, but Jesus did and referenced it a number of times in the Bible: “The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righ-

teous and throw them into the fiery furnace [hell], where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” � “ . . . but have everlasting life.”

God’s promise is that we will spend eternity with Him in a glorious paradise — heaven.

As he said to the thief on the cross next to him, “Truly I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.”

All the critical elements of Christian belief are encapsulated in this one verse.

And even a nutbar like Rollen Stewart cannot detract from its power.
