JUNIOR COP’S BOAST LED TO CELLSEX PROBE TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A junior RCMP officer boasting to a female superior about what he saw when two female prisoners engaged in sex acts in a Kamloops jail cell is what led to an investigation being launched. The trial of Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Rick Brown began in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops on Tuesday, Sept. 9, with that information. Brown was charged with breach of trust by a public officer following an incident in the cellblock of the Kamloops RCMP’s Battle Street detachment in the early-morning hours of Aug. 18, 2010. Prosecutor Winston Sayson outlined the Crown’s case against Brown, the veteran Mountie with more than two decades of police experience who was at the helm of the Kamloops detachment when the sex acts took place. Sayson said the two women were arrested for unrelated matters earlier in the morning. Both women were heavily intoxicated and one of them had to be physically carried into the drunk tank by four officers. “Eventually, they began physical contact,” Sayson said. “The physical contact evolved into explicit, hardcore physical acts.” A group of Mounties and jail guards — including Brown — watched the sex acts on a monitor via closed-circuit television. Court heard jail guard David

Tompkins used a detachment phone to call the watch office and invite others to join them. “He said, ‘Brownie says you’ve got to see this,’” Sayson said, explaining “Brownie” was Brown’s nickname at the detachment. No one intervened. After the fact, Elgee described the incident to Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Kelly Butler, in graphic detail and said one of the women claimed to be HIV-positive. Butler wrote an email expressing her concern about the incident to Brown and a superior staffsergeant. “Her email . . . resulted in an investigation being undertaken by the Kamloops RCMP,” Sayson said. Defence lawyer Glen Orris provided a brief opening statement following Sayson’s remarks, calling the Kamloops detachment “chronically understaffed” at the time of the incident. The first witness at trial was retired RCMP Cpl. Duncan Hewitt, a former member of the RCMP’s professional-standards unit and the officer who undertook a codeof-conduct investigation after word of the incident came to light. Hewitt said he first became aware when approached on Aug. 23, 2010, by then-Insp. Yves Lacasse, who asked for an investigation. Hewitt also formerly served as a fill-in watch commander — the role Brown occupied on Aug. 18, 2010. He described it as a supervisory role and said the watch command-

er is at the top of the detachment pecking order when the officer in charge is not in the building. “Basically, when you’re the watch commander, members end up going through the chain of command and going to you,” Hewitt said. “You’re their supervisor. They’re looking for direction.” Sayson said the Crown intends to call 17 witnesses during the trial, which is slated to run three weeks. One of the women involved in the sex acts will take the stand, he said. The other woman has since died. Also expected to testify are Elgee and RCMP Const. Stephen Zaharia — both of whom were initially charged alongside Brown, but had their charges dropped — and a number of jail guards and additional police officers. Tompkins pleaded guilty last year and was placed on a one-year probation term. Brown has been on paid leave from the RCMP since 2010. Yesterday (Sept. 10), court was shown surveillance video from the Kamloops RCMP detachment depicting the sex acts as well as a hallway near the cell block, outside the room where the closed-circuit monitors were being watched. Brown could be seen in the video smiling and laughing while the two women engaged in their jail-cell sex. KTW is seeking access to the videos to publish online. Romilly said he will give a decision on KTW’s application within a week.

New Afton suffers small tailings-pipe leak CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A leaking valve on a pipeline running to the tailings pond at New Afton mine caused temporary shutdown of the operation late Monday evening (Sept. 8). The resulting leak of slurry from the failed valve caused about 16 to 20 cubic metres of water and ground rock material to leak, said Scott Davidson, environment and social responsibility manager for the mine operated by New Gold Inc. New Afton is an underground mine about 10 kilometres west of Kamloops. Davidson described the volume as approximately the amount that would fill a camper. A typical concrete truck, for example, holds

about six cubic metres of material. The spill was reported to B.C.’s Provincial Emergency Program. “We decided we needed to shut the mill in order to replace the valve,” he told KTW. The leak was noticed on a visual inspection at about 9 p.m. The tailings pipe, approximately 24 inches in diameter, takes ground-up rock and liquid to the tailings impoundment from the mill. Tailings water is recycled and used again in the plant. There was no leakage at the tailings pond itself. Davidson said a vacuum truck was used to remove any liquid at the spill, which drained to a ditch, while an excavator will clean up solids. All material will be

returned to the tailings pond. He acknowledged it is expensive to shut the mill. “Regardless of Mount Polley . . . we’d make that decision,” he said in reference to the massive tailings breach at the open-pit Cariboo mine last month. The mill shutdown to replace the valve on the tailings pipe preceded a scheduled maintenance shutdown. Mining and stockpiling of ore continued despite the mill halting operation. Davidson said the mine has started an investigation to determine the cause of the valve failure and how to prevent it in future. He said there is no danger to neighbouring water users because all groundwater at the site drains to the historic Afton pit.

Police seek fresh info in slaying CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops RCMP is appealing for new information in the murder investigation of a woman found dead in Mission Flats Park 10 years ago. The body of 31-year-old Shana Labatte was found near a walking trail in Mission Flats, just west of the Domtar pulp mill’s effluent ponds, by a couple walking in the park on March 23, 2004. Investigators with RCMP called the death a homicide, but released few details. At the time of the discovery, police asked anyone in the area between 6 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. to contact police. On Tuesday, Sept. 9, Cpl. Cheryl Bush told reporters the call for new informa-

tion is not based on any specific aspect of Labatte’s death or the investigation. “These investigations are never closed and it is important to keep appealing to the public for answers,” police said in a statement. Labatte, who worked as a prostitute in Kamloops, was last seen in public at the downtown corner of Sixth Avenue and Seymour Street, an area she frequented near the 7-Eleven convenience store. She was seen entering a late-model Ford Explorer between 4 a.m. and 5 a.m. that day. Bush said Labatte’s family remains in contact with police. “Shana was loved. She was a daughter, a mother and a friend,” Bush said. “Her memory is kept alive by her family, who

are still looking for answers.” Labatte is among a number of women suspected to have been murdered in Kamloops. Those include: • Samantha Paul, whose remains were found earlier this year in the White Lake area near Barnhartvale; • Cassandra Wilson, who was last seen on April 6, 2012, in the lobby of Henry Leland House in downtown Kamloops (where she lived) and, moments earlier, walking across the 7-Eleven parking lot downtown; • Sheri Lee Hiltz, whose badly beaten body was found in a yard off Surrey Avenue in North Kamloops in 2005. Bush said police don’t believe there is a link between the murders.

FROM MURDERS TO A VANISHING . . . The body of Shana Labatte, 31, was found in Mission Flats Park on March 23, 2004. No arrests have been made more than a decade later, but Kamloops Mounties are still investigating the file. If you have information on her death, call the Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

MARCH 23, 2004 A couple out for a walk in the Mission Flats area stumbles across the body of Kamloops prostitute Shana Labatte. The 30-year-old was last seen outside the Seymour Street 7-Eleven between 4 a.m. and 5 a.m. that day. A month later, police release a sketch of a potential person of interest. APRIL 9, 2005 A teenager walking through a vacant Surrey Street lot in North Kamloops comes across the bloodied body of Sheri Lee Hiltz.

The 44-year-old, who was found fully clothed but with her skirt hiked up above her waist, died as a result of blunt-force trauma to the head and had to be identified by fingerprints. She was last seen the previous evening on Tranquille Road. JUNE 6, 2007 More than three years after Labatte’s body is found at Mission Flats, Kamloops Mounties announce they have cleared a suspect initially believed to have been involved. The man was tracked down after police

released a composite sketch of a person of interest in the case three years earlier. The man admitted to having spent time with Labatte on the night she was killed — and driving the brown SUV cops had been looking for — but successfully completed a polygraph test and was ruled out as a suspect. APRIL 6, 2012 Cassandra Wilson vanishes after being spotted at the Seymour Street 7-Eleven shortly before midnight. On May 2, police reveal they believe she has been murdered.

DALE BASS/KTW

Teachers and parents gather outside the Kamloops-Thompson school district office on Monday, Sept. 8, prior to the board of education meeting. Congregating in support of the B.C. Teachers’ Union, many in the group entered the building for the meeting while singing Solidarity Forever. To read board of education chairwoman Denise Harper’s letter to both sides in the labour dispute, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com.

Board puts concerns in a letter DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Denise Harper has called on both sides of the teachers’ strike/ lockout to find some way to end the impasse. The chairwoman of the KamloopsThompson board of education asked the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) and the government’s bargaining agent, the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA) to seek an alternate method to resolve the issue. “Otherwise, any claim to be doing this for the children has a very false ring,” Harper said. Harper told trustees at the Monday, Sept. 8, board meeting that she sent the letter earlier in the day and apologized for not consulting with trustees beforehand. However, she added, given the public positions taken by the BCTF and Education Minister Peter Fassbender, she wanted the viewpoint

of School District 73 heard. Harper said afterward she was gratified trustees agreed with her letter. About 200 teachers and parents rallied in front of the Ninth Avenue board office before the trustees’ meeting, calling on them to come out and speak with them. When the public portion of the meeting began, many from the group crowded into the conference room. The overflow stayed on the stairwell and in the lobby, where they could be heard during the board of education meeting singing the labour-movement anthem, Solidarity Forever. KamloopsThompson school district Supt. Karl deBruijn gave an update to trustees on the labour dispute, which has seen BCTF president Jim Iker call for binding arbitration, Fassbender rejecting it and Iker then announcing teachers

will vote on going back to work if the government accepts binding arbitration. The sticking point — beyond Fassbender’s assertion the government does not believe in binding arbitration — is the one holding up any movement toward a settlement, the contentious language addressing class size and composition, a matter the courts have ruled twice teachers have the right to bargain. After deBruijn’s brief report, trustee Joan Cowden addressed the group of parents and teachers, noting she began her teaching career 42 years ago at George Hilliard elementary in Kamloops. Cowden said upon starting the job, she was told not to expect it to go past December, depending on who won the provincial election that year. “The reason given was a lack of government funding, so we

haven’t come too far,” she said. Elsewhere with the board of education: • DeBruijn told trustees preliminary registration numbers show 523 more students at schools but, until classes resume, he can’t be sure if these are all new students or simply families moving to different neighbourhoods. • Because of job action in June that affected exams, marks being submitted and report cards prepared, de Bruijn reported, students in grades 11 and 12 will receive transcripts with their marks during the first week of school so they can ensure requirements for graduation are met. The transcripts will have blended marks based on course work and provincial exams. • Students in grades 1 through 10 will receive a letter during the first week of school with their grade placements, which will be reviewed after school

OLPH holds off on new students Our Lady of Perpetual Help school is not accepting new students due to the strike affecting the public-education system, But, principal Christopher Yuen said the school will accept any application forms completed. “We simply do not feel it is in our best interests to accept new registrants during this time when

DAILY ART CAMPS OFFERED

the public schools are not open.” Yuen said OLPH has “a great working relationship” with the Kamloops-Thompson school district and wants to respect the process. St. Ann’s Academy earlier told KTW it would not accept new students until the labour dispute ends. — Dale Bass

The Kamloops Art Gallery will be helping parents in a creative way until the education labour dispute has been resolved. The gallery at Victoria Street and Fifth Avenue will be offering daily art camp for children ages six to 12 until school resumes. Led by local artist and gallery art instructor Stephanie Patsula, workshops will include drawing, painting, collage and paper sculpture, printmaking, clay, sculpture and bookmaking. Registration is $16 per day for gallery members and $20 per day for non-gallery members. It runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily, though half-day and extended hours are also available. Each day has space for 15 students. For more information or to register, call 250-377-2400.

has begun. • De Bruijn said the district will attempt to issue proper report cards once the strike/ lockout ends. • Directors of B.C. School Sports have advised school boards

it will continue with leagues, zones and provincials for those student teams in place with volunteers willing to assist their operation. For example, the organization plans to

proceed with fall zone and championships schedules for football, volleyball, boys’ soccer, field hockey, aquatics and cross-country. Teams still need permission from districts to compete.

THE LANGUAGE OF COMPOSITION DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

When it comes to the issue of class size and composition, the superintendent of the KamloopsThompson school district has some definite opinions. Karl deBruijn said he analyzed staffing at two elementary schools with different demographics, providing the information to trustees on why he believes it’s important for school-district administration to have the ability to make staffing decisions that are impacted by class composition. At Aberdeen elementary, for example — a school with 389 students last year — there were 10 designated special-needs students, 17 teachers, one full-time and one part-time learningassistance and resource teachers (LART) and four certified educational assistants (CEA) who help

with learning in the classrooms. At Arthur Hatton elementary — with 217 students — there were 32 designated special-needs students, 11 teachers, five LARTs and 10 CEAs. Board of education chairwoman Denise Harper said under the contentious language the B.C. Teachers’ Federation is fighting to retain — based on 2001 language that set specific ratios for classrooms — “there’s no way we could get that kind of help to Arthur Hatton.” For example, that language, which was removed from the BCTF’s contract in 2002 and put under government control, established ratios of one counsellor for every 693 students and one learning-assistance teacher for every 397 students. Instead, the government created the Learning Improvement Fund, which doles out money to

school districts to use for staffingallocation decisions it makes. Those decisions follow consultation with school staff, deBruijn said, but with an eye for need rather than a formula. He said that is why, under the 2001 language, “Hatton is way overstaffed with learningassistance teachers, but we need them there.” The superintendent — himself a long-time teacher before moving into administration — said one aspect of the public conversation on class size and, in particular, composition is the fact there are education assistants in classrooms helping with students who need extra attention. “When I hear talk of classes with three, four, five specialneeds students, you never hear about the specialist teachers and support staff we have supporting them,” he said.

THE SEPT. 11 ATTACKS ECHO

t can be argued one can draw a straight line from the criminal killers known as ISIS straight through 13 years, to the Sept, 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States. To be more specific, the fact ISIS is today wreaking havoc and using modern technology to showcase its Dark Ages actions can be traced to the decision by then-U.S. president George W. Bush to invade Iraq two years after the attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C. It can be argued that Bush’s decision to illegally invade and overthrow the Saddam Hussein regime on a blatant lie — that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction and was in some way involved in the terrorist attacks neither was true) — is singularly responsible for the mess that now exists in the Middle East. The ousting of Hussein and the subsequent pointless deaths of so many American soldiers and Iraqi civilians loosened the tyrant’s grip on his country and the region, allowing the lunatic-fringe jihadists — from al-Qaeda to ISIS — to create a de facto civil war ever since. These terrorists kill wantonly, create unparalleled instability and, perversely, manage to entice the West — despite all common-sense arguments against such decisions — to once again, ever-soslowly, get involved in a situation that is beyond hope. It can be argued that, without the Bush administration’s foolish decision, the likes of former Kamloops resident and former Thompson Rivers University student Collin Gordon would today be in Canada, doing something positive, rather than in Syria, reciting verses from the Qur’an as they post anti-Western slogans on Facebook. The invasion of Iraq contributed mightily to today’s carnage and led to a similar situation in Libya (take out the dictator and watch a worse situation unfold). The root, though, can be found in those terrorist attacks that took place 13 years ago today. That horrible day has spawned echoes that know no silence.

Respect while criticizing

couple of friends have discussed the possibility of running for city council this year. Both would bring some much-needed discussion points to the campaign and would make excellent councillors. Both have run in the past and have been keen observers of this council and its predecessors, so they have a pretty good idea of what the job the job involves. It’s not easy and anyone who takes it on deserves our appreciation and admiration. Consider what our councillors face. There’s no real training other than early-in-term workshops. It’s not like you can go to school and take How To Be A Councillor 101. We don’t require councillors to have any particular skill set. Sure, we’ll ask what they do and why they think they can handle the job — at least those of us who vote might ask — but, we don’t give the same rigorous review and analysis to choosing a councillor that we might give to hiring a bookkeeper or a lawyer. Until this year, we didn’t even require the basic three references time and past practice has created for filling other jobs in society. We then put them in charge of a multi-million-dollar budget that impacts pretty much every waking day of our lives — our safety, the roads on which we

LEVEL travel, the parks where our children play, how many dogs we can own . . . the list goes on. We expect them to be able to work with other levels of government that have a similar basis as municipal government, but are actually much different in the way they work, in the way decisions are made and in the way they decide who is accountable for those choices. We invite them to so many events and expect them to be there just because they should be there. And, for the most part, they’ll be there. Heck, Mayor Peter Milobar is even learning to tap-dance to support a fundraising event later this year. Then there are the outof-the-blue issues no one might have anticipated, those hot-button topics that rile up certain segments of society, who then start making demands on our councillors that might be outside their own comfort zones.

Take Ajax, for example. A couple of our sitting councillors have had no problem making their viewpoints known on the controversial mine proposed for south of Aberdeen. But, others have chosen to watch the process in place to assess the potential mine’s appropriateness and impact on Kamloops. Is that wrong? Not really. Does that leave them subject to ongoing criticism? Of course it does. How many of us would want to live with the reality that a decision we make for reasons we consider to be sound, practical and responsible can leave us open to ridicule wherever we might go? I’m hoping my friends, aware of these requirements, are nominated and do take an active role in the campaign leading to the Nov. 15 election. They care about the city, they’re involved in their communities, they are engaged with the issues and they’re not afraid to share their viewpoints. They know they’ll be watched, scrutinized and criticized, should they be elected. It’s a tough job — so, even when we are criticizing our councillors, let’s still remember not many of us want to do what they do.

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR PERHAPS GORDON LIVED TWO LIVES Editor: I question the wisdom of the way in which the KTW article on ex-Thompson-Rivers-Universitystudent-turned terrorist Collin Gordon was presented (‘From Tournament Capital to terrorist?’ Sept. 2). Was a front page, full-colour photo of him necessary? The focus on his party and sports activities seemed to be intended to evoke the reader’s sympathy, as does the subsequent TRU forum, which suggests Gordon was fooled into joining ISIS. How do we know he didn’t live two lives, keeping his extremism well hidden? Surely he bears at least some responsibility for choosing this path. In publishing his Facebook quote, in which Gordon urges others to follow his lead, KTW could be unwittingly furthering ISIS recruitment. The chosen verse from the Q’uran, stating Allah is forgiving and merciful, stands in absolute contrast to this organization’s practices. ISIS’s treatment of anyone it deems as less (or not at all) committed to Islam is so barbaric that even alQaeda has distanced itself from this organization. CBC investigators and humanitarian societies have reported the ISIS ultimatum given to their victims — convert to the Muslim faith, pay an exorbitant tax or die. Killing is often by way of beheading, hanging, burying alive and, sometimes, even crucifixion as happened in Mosul, Iraq, to Orthodox Christians. This is the way of life (death) Gordon has adopted. As repulsive as it may seem, the social media exposure of beheadings is employed as a lure to draw young men into ISIS, according to a CBC report. So, Gordon may well have joined with knowledge of what his commitment would entail. We cannot look at his “normal” past without confronting the reality of his appalling present.

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online RE: STORY: TEACHERS TO VOTE ON ARBITRATION, BUT VICTORIA SAYS IT IS NOT AN OPTION:

CLOSE SIDEWALK AND SAVE $3 MILLION Editor: The cost of making repairs to Overlanders Bridge keeps escalating. As it stands now, $9 million has been budgeted, not including the customary cost overruns, which includes refurbishing of the western sidewalk at a cost of $3 million. I strongly suggest not rehabilitating the sidewalk since no one uses it, aside from the occasional groups of people who wish to attract

attention to their causes. The east sidewalk is well connected to the west side under the bridge and is used by many pedestrians and cyclists. To save Kamloops taxpayers $3 million, the city should simply install a barricade at either end of the west sidewalk, with signs to indicate the sidewalk is closed and directing cyclists and pedestrians to the east walkway. Metro Vancouver recently announced repairs and

resurfacing of the Lions Gate Bridge at a cost of less than $4 million. This would be a much larger project than the Overlanders Bridge work. Kamloops City Hall should get in touch with the contractor who secured the job for the Lions Gate Bridge. Perhaps we can save a few million dollars? Peter H. Bartel Kamloops

TIRED OF BEING TAXED TO DEATH Editor: I was just wondering if you could tell me why on earth we have to pay taxes on used items like cars and clothes when the tax has already been paid? And, if you buy used vehicle from a dealer, why is there a fee so they can fill out the paperwork? I think it is nuts. What is wrong with this province? We are being taxed to death.

FROM THE ASHES — THANK YOU Editor: To my saviours and supporters: I thank you for all your help and support during and after the electrical fire outside my home earlier this month that could have burned the whole house down. From the moment firefighters arrived — within seven minutes of the 911 call — to the lasting encouragement from

I will “forever remember those hugs of encouragement.

my neighbours in the aftermath, I have been totally grateful for all the extra effort given in getting me through

this time of trauma and stress. I thank all the individuals from the following groups: • Jeff Gilroy and family; • Dallas volunteer fire department; • Kamloops Fire Rescue; • B.C. Ambulance Service; • Emergency Social Services; • Thompson Valley Restorations/Fire and

Flood; • McCaskill Mechanical; • Greg Fennell, neighbours and friends. I will forever remember your promptness in providing assistance. I will forever remember those hugs of encouragement that have helped so much. Penny Davis (and dog Caliber) Kamloops

LITTLE REGARD FOR TEACHERS Editor: I am a teacher with the Kamloops-Thompson school district. I have two questions of the taxpayers of B.C. and our board of education. First, why is money being saved from teachers’ salaries going to administrators as bonuses? Secondly, why are administrators being paid when there is nothing to administer, since there are no teachers or students in the buildings? I have worked in this province since 1978 and continue to be surprised with how little regard the public has for educators. I feel embarrassed by the comments made by our provincial leaders, as well as by our local board of education. We should be supporting education and the hard-working educators — and working hard to get our students back to school. I can’t count how many students I have taught in my career who are now contributing members to our B.C. economy. Corrie Macdonald Kamloops

THIRTEEN YEARS AFTER THE SEPT. 11, 2001, TERRORIST ATTACKS . . . CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

About 3,700 kilometres from the site of the World Trade Center terrorist attacks 13 years ago today, there is no official ceremony to mark the sombre anniversary. But, thousands of people in Kamloops and across the globe will recall the day privately, some of them too young remember the historic attacks. Michael Gorman, a professor of American history at Thompson Rivers University, said the day has become a reference point for a generation, just as the John F. Kennedy assassination and attack on Pearl Harbour were for prior generations. “First- and secondyear students now are vague on it,” Gorman said. “They mostly tell me they don’t especially remember themselves, but they remember their parents being upset.” Jack Juusola, who owns the two Canadian

Tire franchises in Kamloops, said he recalls turning on the television in his exercise room and watching events unfold on television. “There are a few days you remember in our life,” he said. “That was one of them.” Andy Philpot, now a retired Kamloops firefighter, remembers being awakened by his alarm clock in preparations for officertraining examinations that day. His wife, Shirley, walked in the room with the television on to ask what was happening. It was at that point when the first tower collapsed. “I’m going, ‘How many people and firefighters were in that building?’” Philpot recalled. Philpot, a flagbearer in a parade of thousands of firefighters in New York one year later, would learn as stories trickled out later that some firefighters had made it 50 floors up,

with gear, when the tower collapsed. “You’re just looking at the scope of what they’re encountering — there’s times in life when you go, ‘This is what I’m supposed to do and I’m going to die,’” he said. “Those guys didn’t hesitate.” Former KamloopsSouth Thompson MLA Kevin Krueger spent hours late that day getting in touch with family, friends and colleagues. But, he remembers vividly watching the events on television newscasts. After his wife, Debbie, left for work, he was left alone with their cat (“we didn’t much care for each other’s company before that day.”) “When the first building began to collapse, I burst into tears, knowing few would survive,” Krueger said. “The cat came flying across the room to leap into my lap and curled up against me, clearly wanting to console me.”

“ We were always friends after that.” Aberdeen elementary teacher Steve Powrie, who is running for the federal Liberal nomination, called it “one of the most challenging days in my whole teaching career.” His Grade 7 class spent the day discussing, writing poetry and doing art based on the terrorist attacks. “Carrying out the [learning] plan that day was not going to happen, so we just put that aside,” Powrie said, noting some students cried, while all were full of questions. The learning continued that week and beyond. “Students in years past, including my TRU students, have talked about that day,” Powrie said. “I know some teachers refused to talk about it and had kids put their heads in the sand. That’s not the way to go.” Gorman, an American citizen, said the attacks were

uncomfortably close for many. He had relatives in New York City who witnessed the collapse, while his wife lost friends in the attack on the Pentagon. “It comes up in my classes a lot,” Gorman said. “It’s become a reference point: ‘This is the way things were before 9/11.’”

CAVERS LABELS EAO’S BAILEY ‘INCOMPETENT’ ANDREA KLASSEN andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

STAFF REPORTER

KAMLOOPS COUNCILLOR’S WORDS GET FROSTY RECEPTION AT CITY HALL

Kamloops Coun. Donovan Cavers had some strong words for B.C.’s Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) at city council’s meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 9. And those comments appear to have helped kill a motion calling for more public input on the study requirements for the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine. Cavers’ comments

came in response to the latest letter from the EAO regarding the controversial mine planned for south of Aberdeen. In the letter, executive project director Scott Bailey told council the EAO has not decided whether it will take more public comments on the mine’s application-information requirements, in light of changes made to the Ajax mine plan earlier this year.

Bailey said his office is still reviewing comments about the new mine plan from experts and interested parties and has not determined if there will need to be major changes to Ajax’s study requirements. While he said he doesn’t see the need for a new comment period at this stage, Bailey said EAO staff are “noting any rationale that may support an addi-

tional public comment period.” The next public period required by the government will take place once the mine submits an application for environmental review, which is expected in 2015. Cavers wasn’t impressed with Bailey’s response. “I feel that Mr Bailey is almost as incompetent as the B.C. EAO seems to be,” he told

Cavers’ comment received a frosty reception from others on council. “I was of the mind of sending another letter,” Mayor Peter Milobar said. “But, quite frankly, after hearing character-

assassination personal attacks, Coun. Cavers, it’s hard to support something like that.” Coun.

But, said Paul Hembling, the principal who brought the Student Space Flight Experiments Program to the city, that date isn’t carved in stone.

ment — one that tests microgravity in space — to the station through the program, which is run by the National Centre for Earth and Space Science Education in the U.S. Their experiment — which has to fit into a box no bigger than 17 centimetres-by-less-than-one-centimetre — involves observing crystal grown in the microgravity environment on the station.

MORTGAGE MATTERS Credit Score and Home Buying Part I Does living a debt-free lifestyle make you the best candidate for a mortgage? You manage your money well and you purchase only what you can pay cash for. You have no credit cards or loans of any kind! You must be what every lender dreams of when it comes to obtaining a mortgage, right? Well, not so fast… Let’s take a look at one of the key aspects of lending: your credit score. When applying for a mortgage, your credit score weighs heavily when it comes to the mortgage rates you will be offered, the lenders who will work with you or whether you will be denied in your search for a loan. In essence, it can make or break your mortgage application. By definition, a credit score is simply a measure of your proven habits of repaying debt. For that reason, you must repay something to have a positive score, like credit card payments, car payments and small bank loans to name a few. People who do not have or use credit cards and insist on paying cash for everything are often surprised when they are refused for a mortgage because they believe their habit of paying cash should reflect “good credit”. Credit scores are rated on a point system, ranging from 0 (no credit), to a maximum of 900 (perfect credit), with the general minimum credit needed for a mortgage sitting at around 600 points. A person who pays cash for all things will likely have a 0 credit score because they have zero history of repaying debt. So what does this mean to a first time homebuyer? Do your credit card repayment patterns reveal good things about you? As a rule of thumb, a person should use two credit cards regularly and pay them off each month to build a positive credit score. A repayment for a bill as little as $10 will build your score and produce a proven habit of repaying debt. There are two major credit score suppliers in Canada: Equifax and Transunion. Each has a credit education center for those who would like to do further reading: www.equifax.com/home/en ca • www.transunion.ca Equifax offers a free mailed copy of your credit report at www.equifax.com/contact_us/en_ca. Both these links are found under resources on my website www.mortgagebuilder.ca. Look for Mortgage Matters “Credit Score and Home Buying Part II” when I will examine several factors that lower credit score and boost credit score for those looking to maximize their score prior to a home purchase.

Iconic money going digital THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Tired of that wad of crumpled Canadian Tire bills in your car glove box? Canadian Tire has an app for that. The retailer has unveiled plans that will let customers collect and redeem the value of the ubiquitous bills on a loyalty card or smartphone. But, that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean the colourful currency adorned by the smiling Scot, Sandy McTire, is going the way of his jaunty plaid tam and scarf. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donated to charities, accepted at local businesses and found tacked up in pubs

around the world, many consider Canadian Tire to be Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second currency,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Allan MacDonald, the retailerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief operating officer.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We respect that heritage. But, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited about how the [digital] program will change our relationship with our customers and help grow our business.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

In fact, Canadian Tire didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even consider eliminating the much-loved paper currency with the mustachioed Scrooge-like character, first intro-

duced in 1958. The new digital program will launch in Nova Scotia on Oct. 10 and in the rest of Canada on Oct. 28. MacDonald said the new program will allow

customers to collect, manage and redeem rewards on their smartphone or online. Canadian Tire money was created by Muriel Billes, wife of Canadian Tireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cofounder A.J. Billes in 1958. It first appeared with a smiling tire and a smiling coin running hand in hand. The logo was later replaced by Sandy McTire, a character invented by employee Bernie Freeman in 1961. There is an estimated $100 million in Canadian Tire money redeemed each year, with more than $1 billion of Canadian Tire money in circulation since its inception.

Rothenburger throws hat in TNRD ring FORMER MAYOR, TRUSTEE AND EDITOR IS SEEKING A RURAL SEAT “People are looking for a representative who wants reasonable taxes,” he said. “If not the lowest, taxes here are the second-lowest of all the areas.” Sternig also said the chief concern beyond taxes for the 6,000 or so residents in Area P is water service, including obtaining federal and provincial grants for improvements. Rothenburger, former editor of Kamloops Daily News, now operates the Armchair Mayor News blog, which covers politics, including at the regional level. Rothenburger has recently covered TNRD meetings for his website. “I’m going to set up a separate blog for the cam-

running out of “general interest.” “I’ve always been interested in the regional level of government based on my past experience with it and my continued interest,” he said. Rothenburger, who lives in Black Pines, said issues in Area P include water, fire protection and garbage service. “I’m not running against anyone or anything,” he said. “I’m running on my experience and qualifications.” Sternig, a two-time regional-district director who ran unchallenged three years ago, said the competition will be healthy for democracy.

Former Kamloops mayor Mel Rothenburger has announced he will run for municipal politics again — this time as a ThompsonNicola Regional District area director. Rothenburger will challenge incumbent John Sternig in Area P, which includes Heffley Lake, Pinantan and a section of Pritchard, in the Nov. 15 civic election. As mayor, Rothenburger was a TNRD representative for the City of Kamloops for six years but he has never run as a rural representative. He said Tuesday he is

than posting announcements from candidates, for example. “Editorializing and analysis is going to have to largely take a back seat during the campaign,” he said. “I don’t want Armchair

Mayor News to be a personal political platform for myself.” In addition to his six years as mayor, Rothenburger is a former school district trustee and board chairman.

Charges against former Liberal staffers TOM FLETCHER BLACK PRESS tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Former B.C. government communications director Brian Bonney and a former B.C. Liberal Party employee have been charged under the Elections Act for providing undeclared help to the party in its unsuccessful byelection campaign in Port Moody-Coquitlam in 2012. B.C.’s criminal-justice branch has confirmed the charges against Bonney, Mark Robertson and a company called Mainland Communications relate to assigning a staff member to work on the byelection campaign for Dennis Marsden, who was defeated by former Port Moody mayor Joe Trasolini in the byelection. Charges were approved by special prosecutor David Butcher, who was appointed in August 2013 to investigate the government’s multicultural outreach plan that resulted in Bonney and Premier Christy Clark’s deputy chief of

staff resigning when it was leaked to the opposition. The charges are not connected to the outreach plan, which was revealed to have attempted to use government resources to bolster the party’s popularity with ethnic voters in the 2013 general election. Butcher expects that investigation to continue until early 2015. The three charges relate to former government caucus employee Sepideh Sarrafpour being assigned to work on Marsden’s byelection campaign, without declaring the work as an election expense. Sarrafpour’s role in the ethnic outreach plan was as a contractor to work on events such as a formal apology by the B.C. government for the head tax on Chinese immigrants in the early 20th century. A leaked memo detailed a plan to compile lists of ethnic community mem-

bers from such events for use by the party in the 2013 election. The NDP said the charges show the public never got the full story from Premier Christy Clark’s internal investigation into the Quick Wins scandal. “Two highly connected B.C. Liberal operatives ran a communications firm directly involved in electoral politics at the same time one of them was being paid by taxpayers to work in the provincial government, where he was also managing Liberal political projects during work hours,” said New Democrat house leader Mike Farnworth. “The fact that their company, Mainland Communications, whose directors were a Liberal party director and a Christy Clark campaign supporter, was not mentioned once in the documents released after the investigation into the Quick Wins scandal, and that we’re only learning about the connection now through these charges, is astounding.”

Matthew had been visiting Richard at his Kamloops apartment. Jason was there. The two unexpectedly bonded over video games.

‘You don’t get any say’ CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Anti-Ajax protesters who greeted passing traffic on Seymour Street yesterday (Sept. 10) said city residents are facing the combination of a condescending attitude from the B.C. Liberal government and a big money PR machine from the mining corporation. About 20 protesters waved signs with slogans including “Jobs for a few pollution for all” and “zero harm - zero mine” — the latter slogan a play on a public-relations pledge from KGHM-Ajax that its proposed mine immediately south of Kamloops will create zero harm. “It is company PR. It’s preposterous,” said Paula

Pick, among the protesters gathered on both sides of the street nearby the company’s downtown office. “You can’t have a mine this close to a city of 90,000 and claim you’ll have zero harm. How stupid do they think they we are?” The protest comes the same week provincial Environmental Assessment Office official Scott Bailey reiterated there is unlikely to be a second comment period to determine what studies are needed on Ajax’s completely altered mine footprint, including a move to a tailings lake with a dam. The office has offered to hold an information session to explain its process, something that has been done once before. “You don’t get any say

ANTI-AJAX PROTESTERS QUESTION LACK OF INPUT FOR PROPOSED PROJECT — it’s condescending,” said fellow protester Donna Greenlay. Many of those protesting the proposed open-pit copper mine said last month’s breach of the Mount Polley tailings dam and a revelation this week of a valve leak on a tailings pipe at New Afton in Kamloops shows accidents can, and do, occur with little or no government oversight. “Their attitude is ‘don’t worry.’” Greenlay said.

ernment to police the mining company with a proposed tailings dam perched near Peterson Creek, which runs through downtown Kamloops. Abraham and others

also said while the mine may promise jobs, they will come with a cost to Kamloops and its natural environment. “We already have a large problem with our air qual-

ity, without a mine.” KGHM is forecasting it will have its application for environmental approvals in front of the federal and provincial governments in the first quarter of 2015.

Law-enforcement officials participating in a run and relay in support of the Special Olympics hope to beat last year’s $2,500 raised by 35 runners. The Bridging the Gap run and relay is scheduled for Oct. 18 in

Riverside Park, starting at 10 a.m. The fee is $50 or $60, depending on the category. It is open to all participants and will include those from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, the RCMP and other justice-system staff. Organizer Meg Grainger, an RCMP member, said lawenforcement related events have raised $3.4 million for the Special Olympics. “We’ve added a twokilometre zombie shuffle because we’re close to Halloween — and why not? Zombies are fun,” Grainger said. Money raised goes to fund Special Olympic events and equipment. The event also includes a five-kilometre run or walk, 13-kilometre run and 13-kilometre team relay.

Don’t be fooled by scam that uses BC Hydro name BC Hydro is warning British Columbians about a new telephone scam. Customers are receiving calls in which the caller claims to represent BC Hydro and says power will be disconnected if a payment is not received. BC Hydro is reminding customers the company does not collect credit-card or bank-account information over the telephone. Customers are also reminded that if they receive a call from someone representing BC Hydro and they doubt the authenticity of the call, they should hang up and call back. If an account is in arrears, BC Hydro will send several notices asking for payment in the mail and also use an automated dialer to remind customers to make a payment before electricity supply is impacted. BC Hydro customers are asked to report these calls by calling BC Hydro at 1-800-BC-HYDRO and the Canadian AntiFraud Centre at 1-888495-8501.

Mayor confident hot-dog bylaw will be embraced Mayor Peter Milobar is confident a Kamloops resolution that would allow bylaw officers to rescue dogs from hot cars will have B.C.’s mayors and councillors wagging their tails when the Union of B.C. Municipalities meets for its annual conference in Whistler later this month. “I’m willing to bet

Kamloops City Hall

BRIEFS that the vast majority of elected officials are going to agree that animals shouldn’t be left in distress in cars,” Milobar said at council’s Tuesday, Sept. 9, meeting.

Council voted unanimously to send the resolution to the conference, which runs from Sept. 22 to Sept. 26. Current provincial law does not allow bylaw officers to break distressed animals out of vehicles — only police and SPCA animal cruelty officers have that power.

But, bylaw supervisor John Ramsay said, the SPCA has far fewer officers and the RCMP won’t prioritize animal rescues as highly as bylaw services can. “If we have that authority, I would suggest people call us first,” he said. “But, without the authority, for us to go there and wait, it’s not a good fit.”

City staff are planning to bring forward a bylaw allowing officers to fine pet owners who leave their animals in their vehicles. It’s expected in early 2015.

Vandalism focus of North Shore meeting ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

In years past, meetings of the North Shore Business Improvement Association’s (NSBIA) community-safety committee could bring out more than 100 citizens.

On Tuesday, Sept. 9, as the committee kicked off its relaunch with a neighbourhood conversation at the Tranquille Road Holiday Inn, it pulled in about 20. “I’m glad to see the room’s not overflow-

ing with a bunch of angry people floating around,” NSBIA president Ed Ratuski said. “But, the turnout tonight shows that there is interest.” Members of the city’s bylaw and crimeprevention depart-

ments, its graffiti task force and the Kamloops RCMP answered questions from a crowd split about evenly between residents and North Shore business owners. The bulk of the questions were vandalism-related, from business owners who weren’t sure how bylaw services deals with tags on private property to individuals looking for ways to dish out justice to graffiti writers caught

Bouvier said a similar program in Westsyde’s Centennial Park has cut down on much of the area’s vandalism program. The task force

supplies gloves and cleaning supplies and has cleaners document graffiti before it’s removed so it can track incidents in the area. Kamloops’ police, meanwhile, had their own pitch for the crowd — the city’s Block Watch program, which RCMP Cpl. Bob Jones suggested residents of Library Square bring to their building.

KAMLOOPS DEFEATS HAMILTON TO LAND 2016 WORLD WOMEN’S HOCKEY CHAMPIONSHIP MARTY HASTINGS

Kamloops dropped the hammer on Steeltown, claiming the 2016 IIHF World Women’s Hockey Championship, with Hamilton’s bid coming a close second. “Coming back to an area where you coached and making an announcement with this type of impact on the game, especially for young ladies, it’s real special,” said

“

can’t imagine an empty seat for any of the games. We’re talking about the best in the world and don’t be fooled into thinking the U.S. and Canada seem to have a monopoly on this.” There were about 100

people listening to tournament organizers and local dignitaries make the announcement at a press conference inside the Parkside Lounge at Interior Savings Centre (ISC) on Tuesday, Sept. 9 The eight-team tournament’s 22-games will be held at ISC and McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre in April of 2016, marking the first time in the event’s 26-year history it will be staged west of Winnipeg.

Growing up, I always wanted them in my hand, I constantly wished I had more of them and I couldn’t wait to touch them. Even now, if balls are in the vicinity, they call my name. I need to hold them, feel them and toss them. Footballs, rugby balls, basketballs, tennis balls and soccer balls — those are the types of balls I’m talking about, of course. For so many of us who grew up to be athletes (I use the term loosely), there was a natural inclination — an irresistible draw — to balls. The way they roll on the ground. The way they spiral through the air. The way they bounce. The way they feel in your hands. The way you feel when you throw them. The way you hate yourself when you drop them. The way they sound when they whistle through the air. There is just something about balls. The first one I remember having was

You used them when you were pretending to hit the game-winning home run in the bottom of the ninth in your backyard, ghost runners rounding the bases.

Lacasse named WHL security officer MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops’ former police chief Yves Lacasse has been named the Western Hockey League’s security officer, a volunteer position established this season. The WHL’s description of his job: “Lacasse will conduct internal reviews and investigations on Yves behalf of the Lacasse WHL office to ensure WHL Clubs are operating in accordance with league standards and regulations. Mr. Lacasse will also be responsible to facili-

tate the implementation of a new league-wide security program with all WHL Clubs.” Lacasse was appointed to the position on Tuesday, Sept. 9. “Our kids today have changed,” said Lacasse, who works on a full-time basis as KGHM International’s manager of external affairs. “We’re dealing with a new generation and it’s important to be connected to our youth and have someone they can talk to. “We want to have someone in place in every WHL community, whether it be a serving police officer or retired police officer. We want to identify individuals in their community that will be good leaders and mentors for the kids.” KGHM is behind the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine, which would border the Aberdeen section of Kamloops.

Lacasse gave an example of how the appointed mentors might be called into action. “Let’s say there’s a conflict between a coach and a player, maybe in the manner a kid was talked to, or how they’re treated or how they’re fed, they have rights within the league. If teams are not in compliance with that sort of thing, there’s an outlet for a kid to talk to someone about those issues. “They can’t just go to the team if they fear they’ll be perceived in a different way by coaches, managers and players.” The mentors will not deal with criminal events, which will be handed over to the police of jurisdiction. “It doesn’t mean that what the players say is always accurate and the truth,” said Lacasse, who had been with the Kamloops RCMP detachment

before leaving in 2013 to take the job with KGHM. “It’s about having this community member available to talk to, just to go for a coffee and say, ‘What’s happening? Why do you feel this way?’ Maybe the person can bridge the gap between coach and player. WHL commissioner Ron Robison said Lacasse was ideal for the position, considering he has run a leadershipand-mentorship program with the Blazers for 10 years, during which time he’s developed friendships with the club’s majority owner Tom Gaglardi and GM Craig Bonner. The program also educates players on issues such as drugs, alcohol, gambling, social media and sex. Lacasse is in the process of selecting mentors in each of the league’s 22 cities and plans to

have them in place in the coming months. “We’re putting a league-wide presentation together that will be used by all of these folks and we want to make sure the message is consistent throughout the league,” he said. Lacasse noted teams usually do a good job of handling discipline internally, but sometimes matters are brought to the league’s attention that require an independent review. “I’ll be able to engage and deploy a group of people to go in and conduct these reviews,” Lacasse said. “I would be responsible for those investigations and, since I am fully employed right now, I’ve created a network of senior commissioned RCMP officers that have a wealth of experience conducting these investigations.”

Blazers adapting to Hay MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

It didn’t take long for the Kamloops Blazers to realize things were going to be markedly different with Don Hay at the helm. “I’d say we noticed in the first practice,” said Matt Needham, the 19-year-old entering his second season as team captain. Players, coaches and office staff alike were happy to have Hay on board, but his arrival also came with uncertainty. The players knew he was a taskmaster, but wondered just how hard they would have to work and were intrigued to learn if life on the road would change. Returning coaches needed to establish chemistry with the new man in charge and were unsure what that process would look like. The office staff, a tight-knit group, had a new personality on the scene and were interested to see how it would alter the feng shui on Mark Recchi Way. With the feeling-out process well underway, all signs seem to be pointing to a

smooth transition. “The tempo of the practices, the way he was in control of things, it was pretty evident that things were going to be different this year,” Needham said. “It’s really teachingorientated. A lot of our practices are a lot longer than they were in the past and the last hour of every practice is all teaching directed at the younger guys. “Personally, I like having him around.” KTW spoke with more than a few players at training camp who said the work rate had risen since last season and practices were more difficult. It seems Blazers’ associate coach Mark Ferner and Hay share the same approach when it comes to hard work. Ferner said the players need to realize elbow grease will be on tap this season. “That’s the way it should be,” Ferner said. Needham said there were moments on road trips in recent seasons when perhaps the team could have been more focused on hockey. “There are times to have fun and bond and there’s times to focus

KTW has been looking ahead to the 2014-2015 Kamloops Blazers’ campaign by addressing five areas of the team in a series that started on Aug. 14 and wraps up today (Sept. 11). In the final instalment, we address the arrival of head coach Don Hay. The other four parts of the series are available online at kamloopsthisweek.com. and to concentrate and get prepared to play the game,” Hay said. “The preparation starts at practice, No. 1, and you learn about work ethic and habits. Then you go on the road and the players have to understand it’s not like going on a holiday. It’s a business trip.” “But, it’s important that it’s not all seriousness.” Blazers’ trainer Colin (Toledo) Robinson is valued for the work he does medically and with equipment, but his role is bigger than that. He is both a confidante and part-time comedian, often amusing with anecdotes over bus speakers on road trips. It might seem trivial, but it’s an example of something that might have changed under Hay’s watch, likely to the displeasure of the players.

The show, however, will go on. “Toledo, his personality, he’s someone that the players really feel comfortable around and being comfortable helps them play well,” Hay said. “The players have to be able to laugh and enjoy themselves and the company of the coaches and the training staff and the support staff.” Hay’s relationship with Ferner is a work in process. “We’re learning about each other right now,” Hay said. “All coaching staffs have to go through that, getting to know each other’s strengths and weaknesses and what they feel comfortable doing. “That’s an ongoing process. It doesn’t happen over three weeks.” See BLAZERS, page A27

SPORTS HOCKEY INFRASTRUCTURE, HOTELS, AIRPORT BUOYED KAMLOOPS BID From page A23

Kamloops bid to host the 2013 world championship, but Hockey Canada chose Ottawa instead. A local bid committee didn’t have to re-invent the wheel with its 2016 proposal. “Quite frankly, I think we surprised Hockey Canada in 2013 that a city of our size was so well-equipped to be able to pull off an event like this,” Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar said.

“To their credit, they thought, ‘OK, well, let’s go back and see if they can deliver on what they say.’” Hockey Canada approached three or four cities, including Kamloops, asking for proposals, one source told KTW. The world championship will be the second major female international event in the Tournament Capital in a span of 18

months, with the Four Nations Cup — featuring Canada, Finland, Sweden and the U.S. — set to run at ISC from Nov. 4 to Nov. 8. The River City also bid to host the tournament in 1997, but Kitchener got the nod. Haley Irwin, a twotime Olympic gold medallist with the women’s national team, was at the press conference. The Thunder Bay product was watch-

ing in the stands in Kitchener in 1997, just 11 at the time. “I always saw them on TV, but the chance to see them live I think really made me start to believe in my dream more and believe that I could one day hopefully wear that jersey,” said Irwin, who, in her speech, addressed a group of young female Kamloops Minor Hockey Association (KMHA) players sitting

in the front row. “I hope that we can ignite the dream that’s within them. If they don’t already have the goal of one day wearing the Canadian jersey, now maybe they will.” Event co-chairman Norm Daley knows Kamloops can punch above its weight. He was chairman of the bid committee that landed the 2014 Tim Hortons Brier, which wrapped up in March.

Daley also knows what it’s like to hit the mat, having lost bids to host the 2013 world women’s hockey championship and the 2015 Canada Winter Games, which will be held next year in Prince George. “In 2013, and I don’t want to criticize [Hockey Canada], but it was like trying to find a reason why we couldn’t have it,” Daley said. “We’d done such a good job with the pre-

sentation, I felt, and we did such a lot of work and they kept on coming back to us and asking more and more questions. But, they realized because of that bid that we were capable.” KMHA president Jon Pankuch is also cochairing the 2016 world championship. Dean McIntosh, director of events and properties with Hockey Canada, helps determine which cities are worthy of hosting. He cited many reasons why the Tournament Capital made the grade this time, including hockey infrastructure, hotels, restaurants and the Kamloops Airport, easily accessible to major international hubs. “A small city brings you a number of advantages that you don’t have in a big city,” McIntosh said. “You look today and there are 100 people at a press conference and you may not attract that in Toronto or Montreal or Vancouver. “We truly believe that Kamloops is going to be able to put over 6,000 people into the building every night. “We can capture the heart of the community.” Canada has hosted the women’s worlds six times — 1990 and 2013 in Ottawa, 1997 in Kitchener, 2000 in Mississauga, 2004 in Halifax and 2007 in Winnipeg. In 2014, the event will not be held as it is an Olympic year, with Malmo, Sweden, hosting in 2015. The Canadian team has played in every gold-medal game in tournament history, earning 10 gold and five silver medals. Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Finland, Germany, Sweden, Russia, Canada and the U.S. qualified to compete at the 2013 world championship, with the Americans edging Canada 3-2 for gold. “This is another very major international event and there will be lots of international exposure,” Milobar said. “It’s wonderful to see Hockey Canada put their faith in us.”

OKTOBERFEST RETURNS

Jim Motokado shreds the trails at Harper Mountain which, for the fifth year in a row, will host Oktoberfest.

Bratwursts and biking don’t always go together, but they will at Harper Mountain Oktoberfest, which will be held on Sunday, Oct. 5. For the fifth year in a row, there will be a four-hour mountainbiking enduro event. New in 2014 is the cross-country trailrunning division. “The biggest thing is the trails are absolutely beautiful,” said Lisa Daburger, one of Harper’s managers. “We have lots of great comments coming back every year from the riders. “Most people probably haven’t run up here. It’s all trail, mostly single track.” Mountain bikers can ride solo or in teams of two, three or four. The goal is to complete as many laps as possible in four hours. There are two options for runners — five- and eight-kilometre courses. There will

Kamloops staff set for season From page A25

Blazers’ GM Craig Bonner and Hay have already proven to be compatible, working in close concert for six years with the Giants in Vancouver before Bonner left for Kamloops in 2008. Rounding out the hockey-operations staff this season are goaltending coach Dan De Palma, skills coach Mike Needham, video coach Tim O’Donovan, strength-and-conditioning coach Greg Kozoris and mentalperformance coach Peter Soberlak. With the regular season fast

approaching, there is plenty of room for more team cohesion, but the applecart seems to be on solid ground heading forward. “That’s the one thing that’s been really nice, is it’s still a really good atmosphere,” Needham said. “He likes to have fun, too. “When he needs to be stern and we need to focus, he’s there to give us a guideline on what we should be doing. “There are just the little things off the ice, the workouts, the recovery and all the little habits, breaking the old bad ones and creating new ones.”

Rice saga overshadowing rivalry DAVID GINSBURG

ASSOCIATED PRESS

BALTIMORE — Four days after opening the season by losing to a division foe at home, the Baltimore Ravens face their most-hated rival today (Sept. 11) in a pivotal game. The matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers couldn’t come soon enough for the Ravens, who finally get to play a football game in the wake of the media firestorm involving Ray Rice. Following Sunday’s 23-16 defeat to Cincinnati, Baltimore had not yet launched its short work-week when a video surfaced showing Rice hitting his thenfiancee in an elevator in February. The incident previously led the NFL to suspend the running back for two games, but the graphic video prompted the Ravens to release Rice and the NFL to suspend

him indefinitely. From that point, coach John Harbaugh and his players were bombarded with more questions about Rice than the importance of avoiding an 0-2 start with two home losses against AFC North opponents. “It’s been a trying time,’’ wide receiver Steve Smith said. “You have to compartmentalize to some part because, if you don’t, this is a game that is physical and you can get hurt if your mind is not clear and focused on what you have to do.’’ Under different circumstances, the Ravens (0-1) and Steelers (1-0) would be asked about the intensity of a rivalry in which 10 of the last 12 games have been decided by three points or fewer. Maybe everyone would be talking about Pittsburgh’s secondhalf collapse against Cleveland last week. Instead, the topic of

In Loving Memory Sheila Mae Sparrow October 20, 1940 ~ September 11, 2008

conversation was a running back who wasn’t supposed to play in this game anyway. The first question posed to Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in a conference call involved his thoughts on Ray Rice. “We pray for him and his family,’’ Roethlisberger told the Baltimore media. “The biggest focus is the game on Thursday. That is what we can control.’’ Here are some things to know about the Ravens-Steelers game:

TOMLIN TALK:

When these teams last met in November, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin was looking at the scoreboard when he strayed onto the field while Baltimore’s Jacoby Jones was returning a kick. Jones altered his path and was tackled before reaching the end zone.

Tomlin, who was subsequently fined $100,000 by the NFL, said this week: “Tell Jacoby he’s safe.’’ Said Jones: “I’m actually going up to holler at him right before the game and go, ‘Hey, what you got for me this time?’’’

NEXT MEN UP:

With Rice gone, the Ravens’ running backs are Bernard Pierce, Justin Forsett and rookie Lorenzo Taliaferro. Pierce has two career starts, Forsett hasn’t started a game since 2010 and Taliaferro has never run the ball in the NFL. Advantage Steelers? “If you saw our run defence last week, you know that we would have respect for anybody’s ability to run the football,’’ Tomlin said. Cleveland rushed for 183 yards, including 100 by Terrance West in his first NFL game.

ANN JANE (JEAN) JOHNSON (MACLEOD) Born Ann Jane Grant on October 23, 1920 at Red Deer Hill, Saskatchewan (near Prince Albert) to Alexander James Grant and Jemima Grant. Jean was the youngest child with five older brothers who tormented her continuously in her younger years. Jean is predeceased by her parents and all five brothers (Alex, Frank, William, Thomas & Donald). The last of her generation Jean was steadfast in her convictions, unwavering in her beliefs and resolute with those around her. She was also quite proud to have outlived her tormenters. Jean first arrived in Kamloops in 1937 with her family and resided at Black Pines. She worked at various jobs, was at one time personal secretary for Syd Smith. Then she went on to owning her own Flower shop, ladies retail store, sold real -estate and handled accounting activities for Dearborn Tractor Ltd. until 1969 when she moved south to Yakima, WA area where she lived 20 plus years. Jean loved to golf in her spare time and sold real estate until she returned to Kamloops to be close to her family. Jean liked business and stayed active until the age of 87 helping her son Douglas with day to day activities at his business, Extreme Excavating Ltd. Just last week, Jean was demanding to know “How’s the receivables”? Helping Doug at his business enabled Jean to golf with the business girls and not be relegated to golfing with the “old cronies”.

We seldom ask for miracles, But today just one would do. To have the back door open, And see you walking through. A million times we've missed you, A million times we've cried; If love could have saved you, You never would have died. In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still, In our hearts you hold a memory, That no one else can fill. Always and forever Your Memory and Spirit will be with us. Our love, Lynn, Shai, Lizz & Kellie Girl

Jean’s passion was golfing and played until the age of 87 when she packed up the clubs because she could no longer beat the business girls anymore. Jean was a long time standing member at the Kamloops Golf & Country Club. Jean is survived by her son Douglas and his wife Rita Macleod of Kamloops, BC Her beloved grandchildren Sarah Jane (Drenin) of Calgary, AB, John Douglas and Ann Jillian of Kamloops, BC Jean is also survived by many nieces and nephews of the “Grant Clan” in Kamloops, Vancouver and Alberta areas. Jean proudly lived independently in her own home until her 93rd birthday when she unexpectedly fell and hurt a hip. After leaving Royal Inland Hospital she resided at Kamloops Senior Village until April of this year when she unfortunately fell again, this time fracturing her hip and was subsequently placed at Ponderosa Lodge for recovery. Jean was on Ponderosa Lodge’s “Ten Most Wanted” list. She had tried to make not one, but several escapes during her (captivity). We, the family, would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Staff at Ponderosa Lodge for showing Jean so much patience and unending compassion. The Staff does so much, for so many with so little and we appreciated their commitment to Jean. We would like to extend special thanks to Navy Sahota (Nurse Practitioner), Dr. J. Howie and Joanna Harrison (Acting Manager). We would also like to thank the nurses at the RIH emergency ward for their help. A service will be held Thursday, September 11 at 2:00 pm at Schoening Funeral Service Ltd. in Kamloops, BC. On behalf of Jean we invite all family, loved ones and friends to attend and celebrate her life. We would like to thank our Mother and Grandmother for dedicating so much of her life to making sure we succeeded in ours. She taught us all things are possible when you believe in yourself. Jean passed away at RIH Emergency after being admitted the morning of September 2, 2014 for stomach pain. In lieu of flowers, donations for Alzheimer research would be appreciated.

1936 TO 2014 Sylvia embraced life with zest and could never be contained. In her young adult years she is remembered for not being one to stay in the same place too long. She was born March 21, 1936 in New Westminster, BC to Marie (nee Bouthot, predeceased) and John Colley, the middle child with an older sister, Doris (Lorne), and younger brother, John (Marilynn). Her early school years in Vancouver were Model Elementary, Sir William Dawson and King George Secondary. Sylvia married Don Wilson, whom she first met at Model Elementary and they made Kamloops their home with their children. Her greatest love and pride were her three children: Teri (Will) of Calgary, Jacquie (Kevin) of Kamloops, and Jim (Connie) of Kamloops. Sylvia’s working life included many industries, banking, insurance, cashier and for years prior to retirement as a Resident Property Manager in Vancouver. Sylvia enjoyed her retirement years, visiting family and friends and, most important, making special memories with her grandchildren, Morgan, Carter, Gordie and Jackson . Sadly Sylvia passed away peacefully on Saturday, Sept 6, following a spirited battle with cancer. Sylvia will be missed dearly by her nieces and nephews, Shelly, Keith, Brian, Karen, Bruce and Joan. During her six month journey with illness Sylvia made some beautiful memories with her family and close friends that will be treasured forever. Sylvia’s family would like to express their immense gratitude for the medical care she received during these trying times. Words cannot express the love and care Sylvia received during her seven week stay at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home.

OLIVE DOVE July 22, 1923 – September 8, 2014 Olive passed away peacefully on Monday, September 8, 2014 at Berwick on the Park, Kamloops, BC. Olive was predeceased by Orvel her beloved husband of 68 years. Olive will be sadly missed by sons Robert (Janet), Keith and daughters Linda, Elizabeth (Rene), grandchildren David, Kelly (Greg), Alex (Samantha), Nick, Mark, and Brad and great-grandchildren Sarah, Megan and Oliver. Olive was born in Newcastle-On-Tyne, England. She leaves behind in England her two sisters Claire and Betty, their spouses and many nieces and nephews. Olive served with the W.A.F. of the R.A.F. in World War II and met Orvel in England where he was serving with the R.C.A.F. Olive demonstrated her strong independent spirit when she left her family in England to start a new life in Canada with Orvel. She arrived at Pier 1 in Halifax, Nova Scotia on a ship full of fellow war brides, many of whom would remain close friends for the rest of their lives. One of Olive’s favorite comments when talking about that time of her life was that they really didn’t know what lay ahead or what Canada in the 1940’s was really like. But she embraced this new life with Orvel and proudly called Canada her home. Olive was a kind and loving mother to her four children and especially enjoyed the many summers at the Shuswap with her grandchildren. She proudly and lovingly welcomed the arrival of her three great-grandchildren. Although Olive struggled with her eyesight in her later years she remained young at heart until the end. She never lost her dry wit. Family and friends enjoyed being around Olive and no one ever left her home hungry.

Gerry was a friendly, hardworking and light-hearted man who enjoyed life, his family/friends and his prized ‘64 1/2 Mustang. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.

Your family will miss you. We know we were blessed to have you for so many years. We love you.

For anyone who knew Gerry, a Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, September 13th at 2:00 pm at 1480 Roper Place. Light snacks will be provided but Gerry says it’s your turn to bring the beer.

Cremation has taken place. A small family ceremony will take place when the family has gathered. We ask those who knew and loved Olive to remember her in their own way.

Gerry’s family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the doctors, nurses and staff at RIH who took such amazing care of him during his stays. In lieu of flowers, donations in Gerry’s memory may be made to The Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Should friends desire, Olive would be pleased for donations in her name to the church or charity of their choice. Condolences to be sent to www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

I’M GLAD I TOUCHED SHOULDERS WITH YOU

There’s a comforting thought at the close of the day When I’m weary and lonely and sad That sort of grips hold of this crusty old heart And bids it be merry and glad. It gets in my soul, and it drives out the blues, And nally thrills through and through. It’s just a sweet memory that chants the refrain, “I’m glad I touched shoulders with you.” Did you know you were brave, Did you know you were strong, Did you know there was one leaning hard, Did you know that I listened and waited and prayed And was cheered by your simplest word? Did you know that I longed for that smile on your face, For the sound of your voice ringing true, Did you know I grew stronger and better because I had merely touched shoulders with you? I am glad that I live; that I battle and strive For a place that I know I must ll; I’m thankful for sorrows I’ll meet with a grin What fortune may send good or ill; I may not have wealth, I may not be great but I know I shall always be true, For I have in my life that courage you gave, When once I touched shoulders with you.

FAITH

How to convert the jihadists among us? T he recent shocking revelation in the Sept. 2 edition of KTW that an ex-Thompson Rivers University student and his brother are fighting for the ISIS terrorist group in Syria has sent shivers through many in Kamloops. Another source indicates more than 50 Canadians are embroiled in the jihadist cause. Not only is such news unnerving for Kamloops and Canada, it’s too close for comfort — for the U.S. as well, especially as our neighbour observes today the 13th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C. Thirteen years ago, people had a fresh glimpse of what makes America tick and how Western civilization is far from falling off the

precipice. At that time, and even now, questions were raised about the role of religion as a source of conflict, ultimately leading to terrorism. The pervading “sickness” of religious violence has increased since then and has been the subject of serious study by sociologists, political scientists and historians as a revived phenomenon. It’s also attracting

the attention of scholars of religious studies because the past 50 years or so has seen a big rise in JewishMuslim, Hindu-Muslim and Christian-Muslim conflicts. Religious conflicts in other parts of the world, especially since the Iranian revolution of 1979, have evoked new challenges and spurred thinking about the role of religion in the international political arena. Noted scholars continue to echo the dual sentiment that “religion brings war, religion brings peace.” Others contend “true” religion is peaceful, that it’s only in its deviant form that religion leads to violence. Violence is not something alien to religion only in recent times. It has been a feature from its origin to the present. A provocative and notorious theory

alleges religion is the central characteristic of civilization and suggests religion is a dominant engine of violence. One paradoxical question keeps arising: Why is religion often a source of violence? Is it because it acts absolutely, behaves divisively and is insufficiently rational? In When Religion Becomes Evil, Charles Kimball defines religion as that which “evokes a wide variety of images, ideas, practices, beliefs and experiences — some positive and some negative.” He espouses the theory that religion is a central feature of human life. We all see many indications of it every day and we all know it when we see it. Kimball concludes religious convictions, locked into absolute truths, can easily lead people to see them-

selves as God’s agents. Its followers are then emboldened and capable of violent and destructive behaviour in the name of traditions. However, Kimball does not present convincing arguments to distinguish religious violence from secular violence. Also, his definition of religion does not clearly point out what does and does not qualify as “religion.” He ignores other kinds of nationalism, despite acknowledging blind religious zealotry is similar to unfettered nationalism. Other scholars claim religion is prone to conflict because it produces a particular intensity of non-rational or irrational passion that is not subject to firm control of reason. Various words, such as “rage,” “passion,” and “fanaticism” are

often tossed around to describe the mental state of religious actors driven to conflict and violence. In recent years, there has been rising interest among scholars to engage in conversation on how religion could be a resource of peace and be used in both conflict resolution and peacemaking. Exploring the role of religion in peacemaking and peace-building is essential to the survival of religion itself. Historian Scott Appleby says religion has an ability to sustain cycles of violence beyond the point of rational calculation and enlightened selfinterest. He refutes the notion that argues religion — having so often inspired, legitimized and exacerbated deadly conflicts — cannot be expected to contribute to peaceful

resolution. Several strategies for transformation of religion into a force for peace can be suggested: • First, the pursuit of dialogue among religions can be an influence. The call for dialogue is the need for education within various faith traditions. • Second, the strategy of fostering economic development, especially as it benefits the poor and the marginalized in any religious society. • Third, the strengthening of democracy on both national and local levels is necessary. Along with economic development, there is a great need to artfully promote the values of democracy. Religion can be an effective source of peace in motivating believers toward tolerance and peaceful acceptance of others. mitraryan225@yahoo.ca

TV anchor throws Tyson into outburst THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Boxing legend Mike Tyson unleashed a foul-mouthed blast at an interviewer on live TV Wednesday after the anchor referred to him as a convicted rapist. Nathan Downer of Toronto all-news network CP24 was interviewing Tyson a day after the former world boxing champ visited Rob Ford at city hall amid the controversial mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bid for re-election next month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of your critics would say, you know this is a race for mayor. We know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a convicted rapist, this could hurt his campaign. How do you respond to that?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Downer asked Tyson. Tyson said he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comment on the question, but then later said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;So interesting that you come across like a nice guy but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really a piece of s--t.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; It was the first of several times he referred to Downer that way. He also used the F-word in the interview. As Tyson continued his verbal attack, Downer reminded him they were on live TV but that did not stop him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; the former boxer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What are you going to do about it?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; In tweets to fans later, Downer said he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;OK,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; but acknowledged that his question had hurt Tysonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feelings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was not my intention. My apologies for the language,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he said. The ex-fighter has a long history of run-ins with the law, including serving three years in prison in Indiana for the 1991 rape of a Miss Black America pageant contestant. Tyson was in Toronto for a Wednesday night performance of his one-man show Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth, his first in Canada.

FRANKLIN EXPEDITION SHIP DISCOVERED MIKE BLANCHFIELD

AND STEVE RENNIE THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The key to unlocking the mystery of the missing Franklin Expedition came just days ago when a Canadian Coast Guard helicopter pilot spotted a dark U-shaped object in the Arctic snow the size of a man’s forearm. The time-ravaged, orange-brown hunk of metal, vaguely in the shape of a tuning fork, bore the markings of the Royal Navy. It was a davit — part of a lifting mechanism, likely for a lifeboat on one of the two lost Franklin ships. On Tuesday, Sept. 9, the davit sat on display in Parks Canada’s Ottawa laboratory, the only tangible link to one of the most enduring mysteries in both Arctic and Canadian history. “That’s the clue that tells you, ‘Look here.’ That’s the flag,’’ said John Geiger, president of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society. Geiger was with the search team that finally confirmed the discovery of one of two lost ships from Sir John Franklin’s doomed Arctic expedition. The remarkable find completes one-half of a puzzle that long ago captured the Victorian imagination and gave rise to many searches throughout the 19th century for Franklin and his crew. The search team confirmed the discovery in the early morning hours of Sunday, using a remotely operated underwater vehicle recently acquired by

ONEHALF OF 1845 MYSTERY SOLVED Parks Canada. They found the wreck 11 metres below the water’s surface. It is not known yet whether the ship is HMS Erebus — the flagship on which Franklin himself was sailing and is believed to have died — or HMS Terror. Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who recently came close to the search area on his annual northern trip, could barely contain his delight as he delivered news of the “great, historic’’ breakthrough. “For more than a century, this has been a great Canadian story and mystery,’’ Harper said. “I’d say it’s been the subject of scientists and historians and writers and singers. “So, I think we have a really important day in mapping together the history of our country.’’ The ship appears to be well-preserved. A sonar image projected at a media conference showed the ship five metres off the sea floor in the bow and four metres in the stern. Ryan Harris, a senior underwater archeologist and one of the people leading the Parks Canada search, said the sonar image showed some of the deck structures are still intact, including the main mast, which was sheared off by the ice when the ship sank. The contents of the ship are most likely in the same good condition, Harris added. “You can see the tackle from the ship different riggings in the centre. “This shows you how

intact it really is,’’ added Andrew Campbell, a vice president at Parks Canada, as he screened underwater footage of the ship on a large flat screen television. “The entire profile of this ship is there.’’ Campbell said a

combination of previous Inuit testimony, past modelling of ice patterns by the Canadian Ice Service and the actual measurements of the two lost ships — they are both so similar they can’t yet be told apart — convinced searchers this was

a Franklin ship. The search team telephoned Campbell in Ottawa early Sunday morning. “They cried, I cried. It was quite a moment,” he said. The discovery came a day after a team of

EXPEDITION FACTS Ships: HMS Erebus, 372 tons, 32 metres long, 8.8 metres in beam; HMS Terror 325 tons, 31 metres long, 8.2 metres in beam. Crew: 129 officers and men. Supplies: Food for three years and 180 tonnes of coal. Departure: Sailed from England May 19, 1845. Last sighting: Erebus and Terror were seen by a whaling ship off Greenland at the end of July 1845. Reward: In 1850, the British admiralty offered a reward of 20,000 pounds for anyone finding and rescuing the expedition. There was 10,000 pounds offered for anyone who could at least discover what happened to the ships and men. News: In 1859, a search party scouring King William Island found a cairn with a message dated April 25, 1848. It said the crew had abandoned their ships on April 22 and headed south for the mainland. It also noted: “Sir John Franklin died on the 11th June 1847.’’

archeologists found the tiny fragment from the expedition in the King William Island search area. Until Tuesday, those artifacts were the first ones found in modern times. The two ships of the Franklin Expedition and their crews disappeared during an 1845 quest for the Northwest Passage. They were the subject of many searches throughout the 19th century, but the mystery of exactly what happened to Franklin and his men has never been solved. The expedition has been the subject of songs, poems and novels ever since. The moment the ship was discovered this past weekend, said Geiger, “we were surrounded by ice — we were in a noose of ice — and so it was a real sense of connection, of immediate connection to Franklin and the men on those two ships. “A few of us said a prayer to sailors lost at sea at that moment because we felt a real personal bond.’’ Since 2008, Parks Canada has led six major searches for the lost Franklin ships. Four vessels led the search this summer — including the Canadian Coast Guard ship Sir Wilfrid Laurier, which launched the helicopter whose pilot made the pivotal davit sighting. It was joined by the Royal Canadian Navy’s HMCS Kingston and vessels from the Arctic Research Foundation

and the One Ocean Expedition. Officials recently said it was only a matter of time before the ships were found. For now, they are keeping the exact location secret. Divers began exploring the ship’s remains yesterday. Geiger said the site needs to be approached with great care and reverence. Over the years, he said, “Franklinophiles, Franklin nuts all over the world,’’ have mounted their own Arctic expeditions, noting there have been cases of people scavenging human remains they claimed belonged to the lost expedition. Prior to this discovery, the only written document connected to the missing ships had been found on one single piece of paper, Geiger added. “That’s it. The rest of the story has been told by human remains and a scatter of artifacts. “To have this storehouse of information — it could be lost if not approached properly,’’ he said. The discovery itself was serendipitous, said Jody Thomas, deputy commissioner of operations for the Canadian Coast Guard. The team was supposed to be searching in a more northern area, but the ice cover was too heavy, she said. “The ice is very heavy this year. There is a myth that there is no ice in the Arctic and that is exactly that — a myth. “And, so, they were forced to go a little further south.’’

Heart & Soul

The Kagame dilemma

wandaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president, Paul Kagame, had a stern message for a rally in January, a short time after the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former intelligence chief Patrick Karegeya was found strangled in a South African hotel room. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whoever betrays the country will pay the price,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I assure you.â&#x20AC;? Karegeya had quit the government and become a leading opponent of the regime, which President Kagame would certainly see as a betrayal of the country. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not unusual for dictators to see their own interests and those of the country they rule as one and the same thing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not even uncommon for dictators to have people killed. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really rare is a dictator who has had quite a lot of people killed, but is congratulated by other countries for his excellent administration and showered with foreign aid.

WATCH of Rwandaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president. Fewer than half of Rwandaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12-million people have personal memories of the terrible genocide 20 years ago, but the country as a whole is still haunted by it. Kagame has ruled Rwanda for all of that time and he is convinced that only he can stop it from happening again. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only a small step from there to believing that he has the duty to maintain his rule by any means necessary â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including even murder. All the murders are officially denied, but

nobody believes it. Last week, four not very competent assassins â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one Rwandan and three Tanzanians â&#x20AC;&#x201D; were found guilty by a South African court of trying to kill the former Rwandan army chief of staff, Faustin Kayumba Nyamwasa, in Johannesburg in 2010. They shot him in the stomach, but he survived after months in intensive care â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get away. But, in the present, they are better seen as castes defined by their (former) occupations. Indeed, even the herdsman/farmer distinction no longer really applies. Yet the â&#x20AC;&#x153;casteâ&#x20AC;? distinction is just as strong, and potentially just as lethal, as it was in 1994. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Rwanda is a thinly disguised dictatorship, run by a man who kills people â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but only individuals who threaten his rule, not whole groups.

sive rate of economic growth in Rwanda (an average of eight per cent annually in 2001 to 2012), in the hope that prosperity will ultimately defuse the Tutsi/Hutu hostility. But he dares not allow a truly free election, for the Hutus, still strong in their identity, would vote him out of office. And almost everybody else goes along with his behaviour because they buy into his belief in his own indispensability. But all his efforts may ultimately amount to no more than a finger in the dike. Rwanda was already one of the most densely populated countries in Africa in 1994, but its population has increased by half since the genocide. There is little evidence that everybody (or even most people) thinks of themselves as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Banyarwanda.â&#x20AC;? Kagame is just playing for time. gwynndyer.com

Snow storm hits Calgary, causes havoc CALGARY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Calgaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mayor says it could take days or even weeks to clean up the damage from a second major summer snowfall in southern Alberta. Heavy, wet snow struck the city early yesterday (Sept. 10), just in time for the morning commute. Trees that were uprooted or whose branches snapped caused power outages, including at several major traffic lights, resulting in havoc on city roads. Mayor Naheed Nenshi said there is some real damage and the loss of hundreds of mature trees is a shame. He said it could be a while before the cleanup is complete and he is urging Calgarians to stagger their commute home in order to reduce congestion on the roads. As many as 26,000 people were without power. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Canadian Press

OTTAWA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The federal prison watchdog says Corrections Canada must stop isolating mentally ill, suicidal or selfharming prisoners, saying inmates in segregation units are all too easily able to kill themselves. In a scathing report released on World Suicide Prevention Day, Howard Sapers said almost half of the suicides reviewed by the Office of the Correctional Investigator took place in segregation cells supposedly under close monitoring. Sapersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; office examined 30 suicides in federal penitentiaries between April 2011 and March 2014. Twenty-five of those prisoners hanged themselves, 14 of them while they were in solitary confinement. Only one of those 14 was being â&#x20AC;&#x153;actively man-

agedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; under suicide watch at the time, the report found. Nineteen of the 25 prisoners who hanged themselves had previously attempted suicide; seven of them had tried to kill themselves more than twice. Some expressed a desire to kill themselves, but were regarded by Corrections staff as being â&#x20AC;&#x153;manipulative,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; the report found. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am concerned that Correctional Service Canada continues to rely on long-term segregation placements as a means to manage symptoms or behaviours associated with mental illness, suicidal ideation or self-harming,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Sapers said in a statement accompanying the release of the report. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This practice is unsafe and should be expressly prohibited.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Sapers urged more rigorous screening of high-risk prisoners, better information sharing and more timely access to mentalhealth services.

NATIONAL NEWS

Ottawa honours Harper to address UN on Iraq WW2 vets with and Ukraine security threats anniversary pin MIKE BLANCHFIELD

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — It was 75 years ago yesterday that Canada issued its first — and only — formal declaration of war. On Sept. 10, 1939, the Liberal government of MacKenzie King followed Britain in going to war against Nazi Germany in an unfolding conflict that would within two years engulf the whole world. The Harper government, in a gesture of respect, announced Wednesday (Sept. 10) it would award a limitededition commemorative lapel pin to the surviving men and women who served. The first presenta-

tions were made at ceremonies in Halifax, Quebec City, Ottawa, Edmonton and Vancouver. More than one-million Canadians served in uniform or the merchant navy and over 47,000 were killed. Veterans Affairs Canada estimates there are approximately 80,000 Canadian Second World War Veterans still alive today, but their numbers are dwindling. The ex-service members can apply to the department for the pin and a certificate of recognition. — The Canadian Press

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Stephen Harper will address the world’s gravest security threats — the Ukraine crisis and the marauding Islamist offensive across Iraq and Syria — in his speech to the United Nations General Assembly later this month. Harper is taking back the podium from Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird at the world body’s largest annual gathering when the General Assembly meets during the week of Sept. 22 at the UN’s New York City headquarters.

he attended the prime minister’s special conference on the subject in Toronto. “He will go there and speak to his priorities,’’ said one government official, who was not authorized to speak on the record ahead of Harper’s address. “We know he’s taken a very strong stand on issues like what’s happening in Ukraine, issues like the threat presented by ISIS and certainly in the context of Every Woman Every Child, the prime minister would be expected to speak to that as one of Canada’s priorities.’’ Canada has joined the international effort to curb the offensive by the extremist group the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, known as ISIS, which has seized territory across northern and western Iraq and Syria. Canada has contributed two military transport aircraft to drop humanitarian

supplies in Iraq as well as weapons to help arm Kurdish fighters who are trying to stave off the ISIS advance. Harper has said Canada won’t contribute any weapons of its own. But last week — just as Baird had finished his whirlwind tour of Iraq with opposition MPs — Harper announced that he planned to send a small team of military advisers and special forces to Iraq. The deployment is to be reviewed every 30 days, but Baird suggested this week the fight against Islamic extremism could take years, calling it “greatest struggle of our generation.’’ NDP Leader Tom Mulcair said Wednesday Canada should focus its efforts on humanitarian aid, not military assistance — and he warned against seeing the deployment as anything but Canadian

soldiers in Iraq. “We are not being asked to play a military role,’’ Mulcair said. “I think we’ve got to avoid word plays where somehow you have members of the military on the ground but you don’t have boots on the ground.’’ On the continuing crisis in Ukraine, Harper and his government have been among the most vocal critics of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Harper has accused Putin of backing the Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine, and called him a threat to world peace. Harper’s UN speech will give him the opportunity to criticize the Security Council as ineffective in responding effectively to these security threats, said Fen Hampson, the director of Global Security at the Centre for International Governance Innovation in Waterloo, Ont.

Over the years, the Harper government has had an uneasy relationship with the UN and the prime minister has faced accusations of shunning the world body. This month’s address will be just his third since coming to power in 2006. The Prime Minister’s Office said yesterday (Sept. 10) Harper will also be attending a special UN event hosted by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on the health and welfare of pregnant women, newborns and young children in the developing world, titled Every Woman, Every Child. Harper’s office said he and Ban spoke by telephone Wednesday morning to discuss the upcoming events. The maternal newborn child-health initiative is Harper’s signature foreign-aid priority and Ban gave it a ringing endorsement this past May when

MONTREAL — Retired Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield says he hopes a major convention being held in China for the first time will lay the groundwork for future international co-operation in space. Hadfield is attending the International Planetary Congress, which began in Beijing on Wednesday and brings together 100 space travellers from around the world. China is building its own 60-ton space station and Hadfield said in an interview he hopes the Chinese will use the gathering to invite other countries on board. “If they do offer something, I’m sure it will be measured and textured and we’ll need to look at it — but it’s all one small step at a time,’’ he said Wednesday before boarding a plane for Beijing. “I really do hope that this helps be a catalyst for the type of co-operation that we ought to be doing.’’ Hadfield said some information coming from the Chinese space agency and the country’s astronaut corps suggests the Asian giant is looking at ways to co-operate internationally in space. “Imagine the symbolism of one

of the other [space] agencies’ astronauts going and living and working and training with the Chinese astronaut corps or vice-versa,’’ he added. Hadfield, the only Canadian to attend, also stressed the congress was not a political event. “Even if they [the Chinese] don’t make a direct overture, it is still 100 people who are quite influential in the space business having a chance — without a specific political agenda — to get together and talk about opportunities and build further relationships,’’ he said. Hadfield will be on a panel with Chinese astronauts — or “taikonauts,’’ as they are sometimes called — who have already flown in space. The conference is organized by the Chinese space agency in co-operation with the Association of Space Explorers, which represents about 400 astronauts, cosmonauts and others who have flown in space. Yang Liwei, China’s first astronaut, is the chief organizer and chairman of the event which runs until Sept. 15. It’s been reported that about 30 space travellers from the U.S., including active NASA astronauts, are also attending but they are there as private citizens and ASE members, not as official representatives of NASA.

admits to sex assault

RED DEER — A former central Alberta RCMP officer has admitted he sexually assaulted a woman while he was still a Mountie. Ambrose Gregory Wolfe, 60, pleaded guilty to the crime that occurred while he was serving at the Rocky Mountain House detachment. Court heard Wolfe and his victim were well known to each other. The woman’s identity is protected under a court-imposed publication ban. Wolfe was to go to trial this week, but instead pleaded guilty. He is to return to court for sentencing on Oct. 6. — The Canadian Press

hey’re armed with dice, measuring tapes and painted figures — and they’re headed to Thompson Rivers University this weekend. From Sept. 12 to Sept. 14, about 120 fans of tabletop war games such

as Warmachine and Flames of War will take over the TRU Grand Hall for the Attack-X expo. This is the second year organizers Dohn Smith and Nathan Bosa have staged the event in Kamloops. In 2013, they ran the first Attack-X out of the North Shore Community Centre, netting about half as many registered players. “It’s getting bigger and bigger

every year,” said Bosa. This year, players will arrive from as far away as Oregon and Saskatoon, as well as Seattle, Alberta and various locations in B.C. The pair hope the event will eventually become big enough that serious wargames players who come out on top at Attack-X can use their success to qualify for larger tournaments in other parts of

ENTERTAINMENT Blair Jones (left) begins training for the 2018 Paralympic Games this winter. Cory Thomaser (below) and band Chapter 9 are donating their album sales at their show on Sept. 12 to Jones to help him purchase a new sit-ski.

Creative way to give back

DREAMS OF THE PARALYMPICS JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

udy MacIntosh remembers when her son came home and told her what happened to Blair Jones. It was 2002 and Jones, who had gone to school with her son, had been in a mountain-biking accident. “My son Brad and I were sitting at the table and it’s this looming and dooming feeling of a classmate who’s critically injured,” she said. “We didn’t know the extent of his injuries at that time.” The accident left Jones, an avid biker and snowboarder, a paraplegic at 17 years old, without function from the ribcage down. It didn’t keep him away from sports, however, and Jones has found ways to stay on a bike and on the ski hill. MacIntosh has kept tabs on him more than a decade later, whether chatting him up around town or learning about his athletic achievements through the grapevine. And, when she ran into him a couple

of months ago, he had big news. He is making a bid for the 2018 Paralympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea and begins training this winter. “I’m like holy crap,” MacIntosh said. The 29-year-old Kamloops man told KTW he will begin training at Sun Peaks for multiple sit-ski events, such as slalom, giant slalom, Super G and downhill, as soon as “the snow flies.” While he missed the bid for the 2010 Games in Vancouver, he said meeting his new coach — former Paralympic athlete Danny Letain — pushed him to pursue the dream once more. “With the coaches that I had, they just weren’t very supportive in the way of getting me into certain races,” Jones said. “I found that I could relate to him [Letain] quite easily.” The two were introduced by friend Troy Morrison, who will also be training with Jones, and Jones now has the support he needs on the mountain. He just needs the financial support for a new sit-ski — a piece of equipment that comes with an $8,000 price tag. The Kamloops native is working for

himself, doing bike tech, but said that, once it snows, training takes over. “That turns into my full-time kind of job,” he said. “You’re pretty much on the hill every day.” MacIntosh wanted to help. “Throughout the years, anytime that I had seen Blair, it was always really inspiring,” she said. “We so take for granted that we just pick up and walk around on our legs.” “Here’s this guy who is pushing and pushing all the limits.” She called got the ball rolling and local rock band Chapter 9 got on board, as did the Blue Grotto night club, with a fundraiser event at the venue, at 319 Victoria St., tomorrow night (Sept. 12.) Chapter 9 will be performing a mixture of its own songs and cover music, beginning at 9:30 p.m., and will be selling copies of its new album for a minimum $5 donation, with all of the money going to support Jones. A silent auction will also take place. Jones will be in attendance and will speak around 9 p.m. “I was blown away,” he said of the support.

Cory Thomaser wanted to find a way to donate his time, but he didn’t have any to give. So, he and band members Rob Kunhegyi and Pat Nichol decided to donate what they could — their music. “We said “What can we do to sort of enjoy what we do with music and give back at the same time?’” Thomaser, guitarist and vocalist for Chapter 9, said. The Kamloops band recently released its debut album Life Can Break You and held a CD release party at the Blue Grotto in July, with album sales donated to helping a local child undergo cancer treatment. At the event, the band asked the audience to send them information about others who need a hand. Judy MacIntosh was at the show and contacted them, asking if Chapter 9 could help raise funds for Blair Jones, a Kamloops man about to begin training for the 2018 Paralympic Games. “I said absolutely,” Thomaser said. The band is asking for a minimum $5 donation for their album at Jones’ fundraiser event at the Blue Grotto tomorrow night (Sept. 12.) Thomaser said the three-piece band’s sound is a mix between Collective Soul and Nickelback. For more information, go online to reverberation.com/chapter9band. — Jessica Wallace

concerts, one with various classical music and another with just Handel’s Messiah, performed in English. The reaction was strong and McMurrin went on to create Music Mission Kiev to support their church, humanitarian and musical work. The mission continues to support widows, orphans and a Christian children’s club in Kiev.

Janzen, a professor at Trinity Western University and a conductor, began to work with the orchestra and has remained with it since and helped put together this tour, the second one for the 42 musicians in North America. Admission is by donation with the money going to the mission for its evangelistic and humanitarian works.

Chapman is coming to KAMLOOPS ON WED. SEPT. 24TH to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly.

Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes. She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra? • Do you overflow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running? If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

• NO UNDERWIRES • NO ELASTIC STRAPS • NO STRAPS FALLING OFF SHOULDERS • NO RIDING UP IN THE BACK

A friendship forged in high school more than six decades ago has led to a concert in Kamloops by the Kyiv Symphony Orchestra and Chorus (KSOC). It’s a bit of a convoluted story — as those that reach across 60 years can be — but in essence, Toews encountered his teenyears friend at church in Scotch Creek, learning the friend’s son Wes Janzen, is connected to Music Mission Kiev, which is the organization behind the orchestra and chorus. The musicians tour North America and Toews helped add Kamloops to their

itinerary, with a stop on Thursday, Sept. 11, at the Calvary Community Church, 1205 Rogers Way, at 7 p.m. White the focus of KSOC revolves around missionary work through music, the program will include include Ukrainian folk songs, a connection with the roots of the group. Music Mission Kiev began in 1992, soon after the fall of the Soviet Union, when American priest Roger McMurrin went on vacation to Kiev. With a background in music — McMurrin was then the music director at his church in Orland — he hired singers and an orchestra to present two

Storm Troopers to recruit fans From page B1

In Warmachine, the object of the approximately two-hour game is to capture the enemy’s warcaster — the head of their army. Plays are timed with a chess clock. “It’s chess, only without the squares on the board,” Smith said. Most games are played one-on-one, though the expo does offer a special doubles tournament for Warmachine. Star Wars fans will surely spot a few Storm Troopers walking around on site.

Infectual chemistry, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;more of a brotherhood than a bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

In 2010, the guys who make up the Infectuals werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure about the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future. Richard Graham, lead singer of the group, said they were on a bit of a hiatus despite having started making music together four years later. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that the four of them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Graham, his brother Russell, Mike Turner and Kris Ruston â&#x20AC;&#x201D; were fed up with each other. In fact, Graham said they had great chemistry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good friends. It was more of a brotherhood than a band. But we were just not sure if we would keep playing together.â&#x20AC;? The uncertainty didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t force

the quartet apart. Rather, it invigorated Graham, who â&#x20AC;&#x153;knuckled down and started writing.â&#x20AC;? Eventually, he had several songs that were supplemented by two Ruston wrote. It was time to record. Courtesy of connections he retained from his years working in the music industry on the production side, Graham landed the Infectuals some time in Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mushroom Studios. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s closed now and relocated to Toronto, but its B.C. past includes bands like Heart, Bachman-Turner Overdrive, Mariannaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Trench and K-Os. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were one of the last bands to do a full album there,â&#x20AC;? Graham said â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and now, the band is promoting it with a gig at Baileyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pub, 1050 Eighth St.,

tomorrow (Sept. 12), with opening act The Royal States. Graham said the band likes the intimacy and smaller space Baileyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s provides, a condition that worked well for the group when it used to regularly perform at the now-closed Westsyde Pump. The shows were less like performances and more like a family gathering with plenty of music, an ambience he expects will be replicated at Baileyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Owner] Rob Wiggins is a good guy,â&#x20AC;? Graham said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those dudes who looks out for the artists, really easy to work with.â&#x20AC;? The music starts at 9 p.m. Those who attend can expect â&#x20AC;&#x153;a total funk-fuelled dance party, high energy,â&#x20AC;? Graham said.

Open Daily from 5:00pm, Monday through Saturday

DEAR FRIENDS AND VALUED CUSTOMERS; After much consideration and with mixed emotions, we’ve decided to change our hours of operation. Starting today, we’ll be open daily at 5pm, Monday thru Saturday. The decision to make this change is both personal and business related. Our dedication to seasonal, hand crafted, locally sourced cuisine requires a considerable amount of time and energy. In the end, we felt it best for the continued growth and sustainability of the business to focus on dinner. We sincerely appreciate the support, encouragement and patronage from our lunch guests since we opened three years ago. We hope you will continue to join us from time to time, as we strive to make terra the best dining experience in Kamloops.

GOTHERBURG, Sweden — James Bond would never have owned a Volvo. I can’t even imagine a lesser Bond, like Timothy Dalton, swapping his Aston Martin V8 Vantage for a sensible 240 GL sedan. Wallowing through the European switchbacks, he’d be an easy mark for the bad guys, and his success with the ladies — well, even 007 may not have been able to pull that one off. Don’t get me wrong. There’s never been anything wrong with Volvo’s brick-like sedans and wagons, which are stoutly built and renowned for safety. And, although the company lineup has become less boxy, let’s just say performance and panache would rarely — maybe never — come to mind when describing a Volvo. That is, until now. A recent visit to this automaker’s hometown of Gothenburg, Sweden was my first brush with the S60 and V60 Polestar high-performance sedans and wagons. When I first heard about the concept, which was packing a 508-h.p. turbocharged inline six under its eye-catching blue exterior, I thought Volvo had gone mad. But, it was based on the rock-solid S60 sedan, and it was really their independently run performance arm, Polestar, that was to blame for this tomfoolery. Unfortunately, Volvo never went to production with this engine, which is no surprise in environmentally conscious Sweden. A tire-shredding Volvo would not only send the wrong message, but would seem out of character for an automaker synonymous with safety. The S60 and V60 Polestars we get are powered by a more modest — yet still potent — version of Volvo’s proven T6 inline six-cylinder. This 3.0-litre engine gets a new twin-scroll Borg Warner turbo to produce 345 h.p. and 369 lb/ft of torque starting at 2,800 rpm. This is up from 325 and 354 in their R-Design variant, and it now breathes through a 2.5-inch stainless steel exhaust and dual 3.5-inch tailpipes. But, there are still more mods, and when the S60s and V60s come off the assembly line, they are moved next door to the Special Vehicles Unit where Polestar technicians manually upgrade each vehicle within this Volvo facility. Here, the chassis is modified to increase rigidity, and to work with springs that are 80 per cent stiffer than those on the performance-oriented R-Design model. The Polestar also gets special high-performance Ohlins shocks, 371-mm ventilated front discs with six-piston Brembo calipers and big 20-inch alloys to accommodate them. Aerodynamic tweaks include the front splitter to optimize airflow and new rear spoiler and diffuser for increased downforce. The six-speed auto with shift paddles works with the Polestar-developed Haldex four-wheeldrive system that has been retuned for more power to the rear. Acceleration is plenty quick, with this powertrain taking the two-ton wagon from zero to 100 km/h in five seconds.

James Bond would own this kind of Volvo From page A15

The sedan does this in only 4.9. Before I had an opportunity to hit the road, we visited Volvo’s Hallered test track where Polestar has been developing these cars. We experienced them over just about every imaginable surface — some even worse than Toronto roads — as well as up and down steep grades, through tight turns, sweeping curves and on the banked high-speed oval. Here, one of Polestar’s professional drivers drove a preproduction model around the

wet track, hitting speeds in excess of 235 km/h. I’ll admit to having sweaty palms and a racing heart as he darted from side to side, even breaking loose the front wheels just a little. Of course, he’s driven thousands of laps during his time at the facility and, at no time did the vehicle’s rear end even hint at coming around. I wouldn’t recommend trying this anywhere — even at a fraction of the speed — but it does demonstrate that Volvo’s traction control technologies are second to none. My own experience was a little

more sedate, as Sweden’s highway speeds are strictly enforced, even though limits are higher than here. Nonetheless, there were opportunities to legally plant the pedal and the Polestar did not disappoint. Throttle response is almost immediate and gear changes are rapid — with or without the paddle shifters. The stiffer springs and speedsensitive power steering provided plenty of feel, yet the ride was reasonably forgiving over rough pavement. I kept it in sport mode, not only for the usual benefits of

TOYOTA REACHES 100,000 HYBRIDS SOLD IN CANADA It all began nearly 15 years ago when Toyota introduced Canadians to the Prius, the world’s first mass-produced hybrid. Today, after many years of strong and steady sales growth, Toyota Canada is proud to celebrate the milestone of having sold 100,000 hybrids in Canada. In fact, of all the hybrids sold in Canada since 2000, more than three quarters come from Toyota and Lexus. Toyota offers the greatest variety of powertrains among all manufacturers. There are six Toyota and soon to be six Lexus hybrid models available in Canada. From Toyota, there’s the original Prius, Prius v, Prius c, Prius Plug-in, Camry Hybrid and Highlander Hybrid. Lexus’ largest lineup of luxury hybrids in the world includes the CT200h, ES300h, GS450h, LS600h, and RX450h, which is manufactured by Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada in Cambridge, Ontario. And coming soon, the Lexus NX 200h will be introduced to Canada. In 2014, the Toyota Prius, Prius c, Prius v and Highlander Hybrid all won awards from Natural Resources Canada (NRCAN) as the most fuelefficient vehicles in their respective categories. It marked the 14th consecutive year that at least one Prius model claimed an NRCAN award. — Metroland Media

quicker throttle and better transmission mapping, but because it opens an exhaust valve for a deeper burble that turns into an angry growl as you spool up the turbo. For track enthusiasts, there is also a launch control function available. I didn’t get a chance to try it, but like other similarly equipped vehicles, you clamp on the binders, floor the accelerator for a few seconds and then release the brakes for max power off the line. As you’d expect, performance comes at a price. Although a base T5 can be

had for as little as $37,750, the fully dressed T6 AWD R-Design Platinum is $53,750. Polestar also ups the ante at $64,895 for the sedan and $66,895 for the wagon. Only a small number of Polestars will be produced, with its global run of 750 vehicles to be distributed in eight markets. Fortunately, Canada is one of them and how many arrive here depends on how quickly buyers snap them up. If you want to get behind the wheel of arguably the fastest, best-handling Volvo yet, my advice is to place your order soon.

Ford goes landfill free in Canada, reduces waste

Reducing waste is part of Ford Motor Company’s strategy to build global-leading manufacturing operations. The Oakville Assembly plant now sends no operational waste-to-landfill, an achievement that gives Ford Motor Company the distinction of becoming landfill-free at all its manufacturing facilities in Canada. “The Oakville Assembly is the first Ford assembly plant in North America to achieve this environmental designation. “Ford is very proud that all its Canadian manufacturing facilities are sending zero waste to landfill,” said Joe Hinrichs, president of the Americas. “We are expanding our manufacturing footprint in Oakville while decreasing our environmental footprint.” In 2013, Oakville Assembly recycled close to 2,000 metric tonnes of wood, cardboard, paper and plastic, saving more than 5,000 cubic metres of landfill space and more than 32 million litres of water. This represents enough landfill space to fulfill the municipal waste disposal needs for a community of more than 5,500 people for one year. The plant even sends its wastewater treatment plant sludge to a power generation company, where it is converted into energy for use back in the community.
