CELLSEX TRIAL OF RCMP CPL. RICK BROWN
TRIAL HEARS OF ‘BULLY’ HEADING ‘DYSFUNCTIONAL DETACHMENT TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
KTW and CFJC-TV were successful in their bid to obtain copies of video introduced as evidence during the trial of Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Rick Brown. Video footage is now online at kamloopsthisweek.com. Follow the website for the latest developments in the trial.
The trial of an RCMP corporal who was at the helm of the Kamloops detachment when two drunk women engaged in hardcore sex acts in a jail cell four years ago has heard the office was “dysfunctional in the extreme” at the time — and that senior management took steps to keep the now-notorious incident a secret. RCMP Cpl. Rick Brown is standing trial in B.C. Supreme Court on one count of breach of trust by a public officer. He was watch commander in the early-morning hours of Aug. 18, 2010, when two intoxicated women engaged in explicit sex acts in a detachment jail cell. Court has heard Brown and other Mounties, as well as jail guards, watched the sex acts via closed-circuit video. At no point did anyone intervene. Retired Staff Sgt. Gary Kerr, who was head of the Kamloops detachment’s major-crimes unit at the time, described the local RCMP office in the summer of 2010 as an extremely toxic workplace headed by a man he described a “bully” — then-Insp. Yves Lacasse. Kerr said Brown, who he considered a friend as well as a colleague, became very emotional on Aug. 23, 2010, when Brown told Kerr what had happened five days earlier. According to Kerr, a sobbing Brown said he was too “intimidated” and “scared” to talk to Lacasse about the incident. “He said he couldn’t speak to the
Yves Lacasse was head of the Kamloops RCMP in August 2010, when the now-infamous incident involving two women having sex in the detachment’s jail cells occurred. Gary Kerr, a retired Mountie, was head of the Kamloops RCMP’s major-crimes unit at the time and has testified Lacasse, who Kerr deemed a “bully,” tried to prevent the incident from being made public.
inspector and I could feel for what he was saying,” Kerr said. “That’s how bad relations were at the time.” Kerr said Lacasse created an environment in which officers felt bullied. “I would describe the RCMP detachment at that time as dysfunctional in the extreme,” he said. “Simply stated, the officer in charge, Insp. Lacasse, was extremely, extremely difficult to work for. He was an extreme bully.” Kerr said he was the first investigator

to look into what happened after the sexin-cells incident was first reported. He said he was under “extreme pressure” from Lacasse to keep from doing anything that could “embarrass the RCMP” — such as issuing a media release. “I wanted to put out a press release,” Kerr said. “I was very adamant something had to get out — and I was basically quashed on that idea in no uncertain terms.” News of the investigation was eventually leaked to the media and the RCMP then issued a vague, cryptic release about “an incident” in a jail cell. Only later did the RCMP provide more detail about the investigation. Earlier in his testimony, Kerr mentioned a sexual incident he witnessed in 1982, while working as a junior Mountie in Powell River. “It was two adult males in the cells and one was performing oral sex on the other,” he said. “I entered the cells and stopped what they were doing. In my mind, it was the wrong thing for them to be doing. It was just inappropriate. “It was just common sense, I suppose.” Lacasse left the RCMP in 2013 for a senior-management job with KGHM Ajax. Brown has been on paid administrative leave from the RCMP since August 2010. The Crown is expected to close its case against Brown on Friday, Sept. 19. It’s not yet known if the defence will call any evidence.

Premier: BCTF deal with no new taxes CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Premier Christy Clark and senior cabinet ministers gathered in Kamloops yesterday (Sept. 17), pledging the tentative deal signed with teachers can be funded without deficit or passing down costs to school boards. “We made history this week,” Clark told several hundred city residents gathered at a Kamloops Chamber of Commerce luncheon at the Kamloops Coast Hotel and Conference Centre. The premier said the B.C. Liberal government could not have reached a settlement with B.C.’s teachers “without the patience of the people of British Columbia.” Clark also credited the leadership of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. Teachers holding “thank you” signs to parents and B.C. residents lined the sidewalks en route to the hotel, where Clark and members of B.C.’s Liberal cabinet met in the morning and afternoon. “We decided to lay down arms, to call a truce and give ourselves the freedom to have a real, functioning relationship,” Clark told the chamber luncheon. She said the deal will make classrooms a better place for teachers to work and for school children to learn. Education Minister Peter Fassbender was singled out for special applause
Polak on Ajax B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak was in Kamloops yesterday with Premier Christy Clark and the rest of cabinet. Polak spoke to KTW about the proposed Ajax copperMARY and-gold mine. POLAK Turn to page A17 for that story. at the luncheon. “The relief — all of us want to see kids back in school,” Fassbender told KTW. “We want to see teachers back in classrooms. None of us liked the dysfunction and uncertainty. But. it was important for us to get to the place where we had a negotiated settlement. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the tentative agreement scheduled to be voted on by B.C. teachers today “falls squarely in the mandate we set for ourselves at the outset.” If the deal is ratified, it will mean the province has settlements with half of its publiclabour force. Both Clark and de Jong said an exact cost
for the deal is not yet available, but the premier added costs will not be passed on to school boards or through increased school taxes. “It is totally affordable,” she said. “We don’t have to raise taxes . . . We budgeted for it and it’s there.” Clark spent much of her speech to Chamber members and guests speaking of the need to continue to grow the economy — including with the yet-to-appear liquefied natural-gas industry — as well as to control costs. That cost control must also occur at the municipal level, she added. Clark referenced a Ernst & Young report released this month showing wages of civic employees rose 38 per cent in 10 years, compared to between 19 and 24 per cent for provincial employees. “In the provincial government. we’ve been working hard to ensure we’re managing down our costs . . . We need to pay attention across government, whether it federal, provincial, regional or municipal at how much money we’re spending and how we’re controlling what we’re spending,” she said. Clark said governments “have an obligation” to bargain hard, despite the difficulty — a theme she said she will focus on at the Union of B.C. Municipalities annual general meeting later this month, where hundreds of municipal leaders will gather.

John Church is amused by the attention he’s been getting about his quest to buy a drone. The cattle research chair at Thompson Rivers University said his interest in the technology is a natural part of the evolution of raising cattle. Church heads a team of researchers who study and develop innovative practices that address the realities of the cattle industry, from keeping track of them out on the range to meat production. He said one of the uses a drone can provide would be to help locate the animals in the vast fields most ranchers are using, much of it under a forest canopy. With the help of an infrared camera, early detection of diseases can flow as cattle spike temperatures — which the camera could detect – when they’re sick. The drone could be used for more, Church said, including vegetation and biomass — and the plan is to eventually partner with Southern Alberta Institute of Technology’s researchers who work on radio frequencies. All cattle are required to have a radio-frequency button that provides a limited area of activation. Studies now are leading to passive tags that can be detected up to 15 kilometres away from the animal — and there’s even more research on longer battery lives and, possibly, solarpowered tags. Although the budget for the drone Church wants to buy is about $50,000, he said the reality is ranchers are also starting to look at less-expensive models that can make it easier for them to keep track of their herds, replacing the 3 a.m. trek by flashlight that is part of their lives. One observation that will be made early in the study will be to simply watch and see how cattle react to the drones, although Church said he has watched a video of a drone being used effectively to round up the animals.

MAN SUES CITY AFTER SEVERING FINGER IN BARNHARTVALE SINKHOLE TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops man who claims to have lost his finger in an accident while repairing damage caused by a sinkhole that was the result of a faulty municipal water line is suing city hall. Kenneth Walters has filed
a notice of civil claim against the City of Kamloops in B.C. Supreme Court. Walters, who lives on Todd Road in Barnhartvale, claims to have noticed a sinkhole on his property on March 16, which he said he reported to the city. In the claim, Walters states a city worker told him the sinkhole
was likely caused by a broken line on his property, so Walters shut off his water. The claim states the break was in a city service line, which leaked underground onto Walters’ property “for an extended period of time.” Walters claims he lost part of his finger while working to fix the
damage caused by the water-line break. “The water leakage was an occurrence within the defendant’s [city’s] control as the water leakage was a foreseeable result of the defendant’s negligent water pipe,” the claim states. No dollar amount is set out in the statement of claim, but
Walters is seeking compensation for the loss of his finger, as well as for damage caused to his property by the broken water line. The city has three weeks to respond once it has been served. None of the allegations in the statement of claim have been proven in court.
City man suffers minor injuries when hit by vehicle A Kamloops man was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries after he was struck by a vehicle in a downtown crosswalk this week. RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said the 24-year-
old was crossing at a marked crosswalk at Battle Street and 12th Avenue at about 7:40 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 15, when he was hit by an eastbound vehicle. The 29-year-old
woman behind the wheel of the car stayed on-scene until
emergency crews arrived. Bush said alcohol
and speed were not factors, but noted the rising sun might have
been as it may have impacted the view of the driver.

TRU tweaks campus smoking policy DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Thompson Rivers University has made changes to its smoking policy on campus, with an eye to making it easier for nonsmokers who must pass by those who have lit up. Diana Skoglund, media relations and communications manager for the university, said nine designated smoking areas — some of which were already in existence — have been identified and improved “so
other people don’t have to walk through that smoke.” Improvements include the addition of some shelters to further remove smokers from the rest of the population. Along with the improvements, the campus is running an awareness campaign focused on advising students how to stop smoking. It involves the campus wellness centre and its respiratorytechnology students. Skoglund said although the policy identifies the smoking
areas as the only location where lighting up is allowed, the reality is it would be difficult to enforce the policy to stop someone who might walk from one area to another while smoking. The policy applies to all university employees and staff, visitors to the campus, including those at private events, and for all vehicles owned or rented by the university. Skoglund said the changes made were prompted by and done in consultation with students, staff and faculty.
Deadline looms for applications Sept. 30 is the deadline for grant applications to the B.C. Interior Community Foundation. Formerly known as the Kamloops Foundation, the organization supports community-based programs in areas including health and welfare, youth and education, arts and culture, environment and recreation, seniors and heritage and children and families.

Work on a new Kamloops performingarts centre is continuing behind the scenes, but don’t expect to see a decision on where the centre will rise or what it will look like before 2015. Parks, recreation and culture director Byron McCorkell said the city hopes to have its contractor in place and begin meeting with the city’s cultural groups in October and November. At this stage in the process, McCorkell said, the focus is on groups such as the
Kamloops Symphony Orchestra and Western Canada Theatre, which would use the performance space. “We really want to get our heads around what does the building need to have in it in order for it to be successful?” he said. “And, once we’ve got that, we can start getting a concept of how big that would need to be, and then which site would it fit on.” The city has three potential sites for the centre. It already owns the former Kamloops Daily News property on Seymour Street, which has also been suggested as a space for a new
downtown parkade. On Victoria Street, Hotel 540’s owners have offered up the hotel’s back parking lot, as well as the space Lake City Casino is vacating to move to Versatile. Also in the mix is Thompson Rivers University, suggested to the city by the TRU Community Trust. “We’re going to tell the consultants, ‘Here’s some land, what do you think?’” McCorkell said. “Does it meet the objectives we’ve identified from the community right now — location, hotels, food and beverage stuff? I think right now it’s got a ways to go,
but it is a piece of land, there is some interest there. We’ll put it in the hopper. It doesn’t hurt to have a look.” Once the city has the requirements for the centre and a location nailed down, McCorkell said consultants will prepare a business case for the centre. At that point, the project will go back to the general public, so Kamloopsians can weigh in on the look and feel of the project. McCorkell said that won’t happen until next year. “We have no intention of pushing this fast,” he said.

WHEW, IT’S OVER — NOW WHAT?
W
ith the teachers’ strike looking like it is finally coming to an end — pending a vote today by teachers that is expected to result in ratification of the deal its union is recommending it adopt — the question needs to be asked: What next? The immediate job, of course, is getting students back behind their desks, which will likely happen on Monday, Sept. 22, in Kamloops. However, in the long term, we need a solution to terminate the seemingly endless labour disputes between the province and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. Students looking forward to graduating this year, after 12 or 13 years in the system, have never known an educational environment free from labour strife. They’re not likely to be the last students to be able to claim that. Even as teachers head into classrooms, there is still the issue of class size and composition currently before the B.C. Supreme Court, a legal dispute over contract language the two sides have been squabbling about since 2002. That’s just the latest salvo in more than four decades of labour unrest and bickering between the province and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, with more than 50 strikes, lockouts and labour actions since the first provincewide teachers’ strike in March 1971. Robbing students of education through strikes and lockouts is bad enough, but that much strife is not a record of which either the province or the BCTF should be proud — certainly nothing that would earn either side an A for effort. Let’s open those books and get our kids learning. And, let’s hope both sides have learned something important during this nasty process.

Help bring Christmas Cheer
F
or a dozen years, Christmas took on a special meaning for Gregg Drinnan and his colleagues at the Kamloops Daily
News. The weeks leading up to it were always full of cheer — Christmas Cheer — as Kamloopsians dropped off pennies, dimes, bills and cheques for the fundraiser. During those 12 years, $667,714.68 was raised and given out to charities in the city. In past years, for example, Gregg handed out cheques to the Kamloops Food Bank, the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home, the New Life Mission, the YMCA-YWCA Women’s Shelter and the PIT Stop program at the Kamloops United Church, among many others. And, if you look back further in Drinnan’s career to when he was at the Regina Leader-Post, reviving its Christmas fundraiser and driving it forward, you learn that, to date, it has raised more than $2.5 million. Last year alone, Gregg said, that campaign collected $289,000 and split it between four women’s shelters. That’s a pretty cool legacy — and one that simply had to continue. Today (Sept. 18), KTW is announcing this year’s Christmas Cheer campaign at the United Way Thompson-Nicola-Cariboo annual breakfast. We’re also asking non-profit organizations in the city interested in being recipients to tell us
DALE BASS
Street
LEVEL why. Send us some information about your organization, your clients, what you do and how the Cheer fund can help. Submissions will go to a committee made up of a couple of folks who helped make those decisions when Gregg had the campaign — Thompson Rivers University sports-information officer Larry Read and lawyer Scott Huyghebaert — and a couple of new people, Dannalee Baker, the director of community impact for the United Way, and KTW human-resources manager Cindi Hamoline. Send those submissions by Oct. 17 to Cindi at the KTW office, 1365B Dalhousie Dr., Kamloops, V2C 5P6. We’ll get them to the committee quickly and let the community know which have been chosen by early November. And, in keeping with Gregg’s format, the fund will be open for business right after the annual Santa Claus Parade makes its way down Victoria Street on Saturday, Nov. 29. This is when the KTW office
will be ready to accept donations during office hours, Mondays to Fridays, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Through the United Way partnership, though, we’ll also be able to accept donations online. That’s one of the reasons we’ve joined up, so we can all call our family and friends who have moved away and let them know they can help feed the fund. We’ve also done this to ease the workload on the charities who have had to prepare and send out those tax receipts, although only for amounts of $20 or more. The United Way software generates those and, although they will indicate the UW charitable number, all that money will be going into a Christmas Cheer bank account. Donations made at the KTW office will also be recorded online and receipts generated. We’re still working on the new website and learning how the system will work, so you’ll get an update on that in the coming weeks. My job in all of this will be to try to do what Gregg did and keep all KTW readers up to date on how the fund is doing and who is helping out, so we’ll be running a Cheer stories regularly to the end of the fund on Tuesday, Dec. 23. Stay tuned for updates — and consider this as a challenge. If every person in Kamloops even donated a toonie to the fund, we could be handing out almost $175,00 charities. That would make for a cheerful day, indeed. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ALL MENTAL HEALTH-RELATED DEATHS ARE TRAGIC Editor: Re: Narayan Mitra’s Faith column of Aug. 28 regarding Robin Williams’ death (‘Are your emotions holy or hollow?’): There has been a lot of research as of late outlining how trauma and abuse can affect the brain and the body The earlier this happens in one’s life can have a huge impact on how one manages stress. It rewires the nervous system and changes the shape of the brain. It can lead to issues such as addiction, high-risk behaviour and depression, among a host of other physical afflictions. This is a serious problem and one that is just beginning to be addressed in public health. This is good news. Williams’ death was a tragedy, but so are all of the other deaths related to mental-health issues. Faith may help some people through dark times, but Williams died because he had a mental illness, not because he didn’t have faith or because he was selfish. To say that diminishes a great and giving man. Tania McCartney Kamloops
DEMOCRACY’S ‘FIG LEAF’
Editor: Re: (‘Vote 50 wants you to help get the ballot count rising,” Sept. 2): How about this? If fewer than 50 per cent of eligible voters cast a ballot, the election is deemed invalid and another election is held with a different slate of candidates. The current system gives the politicians control and maintains the fig leaf of democracy. Politicians and newsroom musers like to use the term “voter apathy,” which means voters are at fault because they do not care. Therefore, politicians and the media
(who do have a synergy) are blameless and can carry on doing what they were going to do anyway. Actually, the voters do care — a great deal. Voter disengagement occurs because voters feel they have little or no influence over political decisions. Furthermore, there are wasted and unequal votes and election outcomes do not reflect the popular vote. Politicians and the media will not accept voter suggestions for electoral change. What is good for the governed, the governors reject — and governors believe compromise is an anathema. So, if, and when, the politicians, media and newsroom musers and pundits can present a system that gives voters appropriate influence over decision-making, then, I dare say, voters will engage. Ray Jones Kamloops
Abusers are cunning and do know what they are doing from the first time they make a decision to strike their partner. They do not do in out of anger; they do it to control her, to have power over her. Kamloops needs a domestic-violence court that is prepared to put the violence against women in relationships policy to use. What is the point of developing policies
and accepting them into the justice system, only to have provincial-court judges ignore them? It matters not whether Warren is a good teacher or whether he is liked or loved by students, friends and family. It matters that he beat his wife. We have had enough domestic violence in this city.

RE: STORY: DRIVER APPEALS, CLAIMS NATIVE BACKGROUND WASN’T CONSIDERED IN SENTENCING: “Not that I have my hopes up, but you never know — maybe the appeals judge will decide the sentence of six months wasn’t enough and raise it to six years! And, if you buy that, I’ve got some land in the Everglades for sale.” — posted by PeterS “Sorry, but what does the colour of his skin have to do with this? Donald Isadore got six months for killing somebody. He took away a life that can never be brought back and he thinks he has a right to play the race card and hope that white guilt will lower the already pathetically short sentence he was given? What he should have been charged with is recklessness causing death, not failing to yield to a pedestrian. He was caught driving twice right after killing a woman. He has no remorse.” — posted by Twelfthnight

LETTERS
OF CLASS SIZES AND STUDENT COMPOSITION IN B.C. SCHOOLS Integrated classrooms do not work
Editor: Re: Tom Fletcher’s column of Sept. 12 (‘The end of factory education’): I am a retired teacher with 37 years of experience. The biggest mistake the education ministry in British Columbia has made over my years of teaching (and they have made many) was putting the mentally handicapped into regular classrooms.
That robbed good students of the time required to help solve their problems as the teacher was too busy working with the group whose progress was nil. That decision also immediately required teacher aides, some of whom did very little to help out in the classroom. The ministry caused this problem and now they do not want to fund it. This is typical government mismanagement. Len Schafer West Kelowna
Classes too big or too unruly?
Editor: Re: Tom Fletcher’s column of Sept. 12 (‘The end of factory education’): With respect to class size, one thing that is never discussed is the lack of behavioural discipline of the students. Some years ago, I had a job as a teaching assistant in the federal prison system, where I noticed many prisoners were stuck at the Grade 5 level.
That led me to take the social-service program at a secondary institution to become a teaching assistant in the public school and help the “slower” students overcome learning difficulties. While doing my practicum in a school, I was appalled at the chaos in the classroom. While the teacher was busy at the green board explaining a lesson, several students walked about having conversations with other classmates, while others walked over to

the window to look at the playground. Juxtapose that to my experience in public school, where we didn’t dare chat, never mind wander about. Also, the wife of a former governor of Washington state took a group of teachers to China a few years ago and observed the discipline of the children there. The average class size was about 50 students and all students were at their desks, focused on the teacher. And, to have 200 to 300 students in a
university auditorium listening to a lecture, there is discipline. If students in a classroom were studying online with only a monitor walking around, the matter of discipline would not be an issue. We could have many students in a classroom, each student progressing at his or her own speed and then have periodic tests, as is done through distance education. Ted Grigoleit Burnaby

IHA IS MASSIVELY INEFFICIENT Editor: Re: The Aug. 21 KTW story on the bad experience Hilda Kurulak had while in Royal Inland Hospital (‘Losing patience’): You neglected to report that Health Minister Terry Lake had refused to read her letter until he was pressured. I suppose he had more important things to do that do not relate to the Interior Health Authority (IHA). He is a veterinarian. All the answers received by Kurulak so far have been political: “Being investigated,” “dealing with the issue,” “transparent and timely,” “clear, consistent and timely process.” The truth is, they hope Kurulak
will give up and fade away like everyone else has. Don’t count on it. The four months the IHA claims it took to answer to a problem speaks volumes of the efficiency. This is timely? Why not start by separating men and women in hospital rooms? This could alleviate so much and could be accomplished in a day or less. This is the computer age. Does the IHA know? Why do they need 120 days? We are in trouble and the IHA knows it, but cannot figure out what to do or where to start. Darlene Farquharson Kamloops

With users already flocking to the North Shore’s new community centre, the City of Kamloops is fast-tracking upgrades to the former John Tod elementary building on McGowan Avenue. At its Tuesday, Sept. 16, meeting, city council agreed to rejig its own budget for the centre, giving the parks, recreation and culture department permission to expand the centre’s parking capacity this year rather than in 2015, as was originally planned. Parks director Byron McCorkell said completing the parking project this year will save the city substantial dollars. B A Dawson Blacktop has offered to pave the lot for just under $200,000 and will also pitch in $30,000 in personal and company donations. The expansion will add 62 regular stalls and bus and handicapped parking. The city had planned to complete the work in 2015 at a cost of more than $400,000. While the two community groups who will jointly operate the building — the Kamloops YMCA-YWCA and the Kamloops Boys and Girls Club — won’t fully move into John Tod until October or November, McCorkell said Y childdevelopment programs that made the jump early have seen up to a 90 per cent increase in participants, well outstripping expectations. To deal with the demand, the Y is also pitching in another $240,000 for upgrades the city had put off to a second phase of development due to lower costs. Councillors voted 6-1 to allow parks staff to repurpose funds from other parts of its budget for the project. Ken Christian was not present for the vote, while Donovan Cavers voted against the change, saying he didn’t think more parking would impact the success of the community centre. “It’s a very slow-traffic neighbourhood. It’s bike friendly. It’s walkable,” Cavers said. “I think it’s going to be fine until next year.”
All Saints want to turn empty North Shore lot into family-friendly development
A vacant lot next to a North Shore church could become a new multi-family development. The Ukrainian Orthodox Church of All Saints wants to rezone the vacant land next to its church at 1044 Eighth St. to allow for construction of a four-storey, 38-unit development with commercial space on its ground floor. Kamloops city council has agreed to take the plan to public hearing. Should it gain approval, city staff are recommending a covenant be placed on the property, restricting the height of any buildings to two storeys if they are within nine metres of existing residential buildings.
Enter sandmen: City needs to spent $90,000 to replace winter machine
The City of Kamloops is spending an extra $90,000 this year after a piece of machinery used in the production of the sand used on roads in the winter was pulled from use sooner than expected. Public-works director Jen Fretz said staff were aware the stacking conveyor used at the city’s screening plant was soon due for replacement. But, an inspection of the conveyor turned up serious deficiencies in the machine, forcing the city to make an unexpected replacement purchase ahead of schedule. Fretz said the city already has a line on a new conveyor and hopes to have the equipment in place well before winter arrives.

Apprenticeship advisor lands in Kamloops DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
The world facing a new apprentice — or even one making their way through their studies — can be daunting, said Lindsay Langill. The dean of the trades and technology school at Thompson Rivers University said the issues they can face “are a jungle that has claimed more than one victim.” The appointment of Helen Poss as an apprenticeship advisor for the Kamloops area, one of 15 such positions created by the Industry Training Authority (ITA), should help those starting out in trades navigate the system, he said. Langill, a member of the ITA board, said when a student signs up with ITA to enter the apprenticeship stream, “they’ll get their welcome letter, here’s your
advisor, we’re here to help.” The position was part of a detailed ITA review last year that identified screening, tracking and support as key to seeing would-be trades people complete their courses and enter the workforce. The report said the existing ITA system had no way of tracking apprentices in a timely or accurate manner and advisors would be the best way to do so, as well as provide needed support and liaise with employers and other training providers. The advisors will also ensure apprentices are actually learning on the job and not just address regional differences. That could be something as basic as the difference between taking the SkyTrain to a job in Vancouver or moving in for the long haul at a camp in northern B.C. “We want our apprentices to have
LEARN ONLINE

The first-year dropout rate for apprentices is about 50 per cent, he said, compared to a 20 per cent rate in other academic areas. At TRU, Langill said, his school is seeing increased interest from students, particularly in the priority trades of liquid natural gas and oil and gas the provincial government has been promoting. “We’re living in good times right now,” he said. “Our apprentices can get jobs if they want to go out and work.” The school is introducing a new Level 2 course of studies for power-line technicians and is continuing to see increased numbers through its women-in-trades initiative.

HOW WILL LOST CLASS TIME BE RECOVERED? DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER DALE@kamloopsthisweek.com
Students and their families will learn how lost educational time will be made up once the tentative agreement between teachers and the provincial government is ratified. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said plans are being developed in consultation with school-district superintendents and administrators to ensure students get the required number of hours of instruction. The strike/lockout that took up the last couple of weeks of the last school year and extended into this school year led to the shortfall in classroom-instruction time. Acknowledging it’s taken a year to get to this point, Clark said “that’s five years to talk about education” and reset the dysfunctional relationship between the government and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation.
PETER FASSBENDER: Education minister says plans are in the works to ensure the school year contains all required hours of instruction.
The contract, if approved by teachers at a vote expected to happen on Thursday, Sept. 18, has the longest term ever negotiated between the two parties. “This is a game changer for education,” Clark said. Fassbender said the wage increase conforms with the
government’s fiscal plan. As for the court challenge relating to class size and composition, a contentious issue that has led to ongoing legal battles, Clark said the deal includes a way to resolve the many grievances that came from the government’s decision to legislate the two key classroom issues rather than allow them to be bargained. She added the most recent appeal of a ruling the decision violated teachers’ charter rights will go ahead. In reply to a question about outside pressure to end the dispute — and if the Chinese consulate in the province had threatened to remove Chinese international students from B.C.’s education system — Clark said she only felt pressure from her desire to get students back in school.
Trustees not happy TURN TO PAGE A16
Details of the deal • Government withdrew Article E80, the contentious clause that would have allowed either party to opt out of the contract if they disagreed with a pending appeals-court decision on bargaining rights surrounding class size and composition. • The learning-improvement fund is replaced by a $400-million fund for hiring of specialist and classroom teachers over the life of the six-year agreement. An estimated 850 additional teaching positions will be created provincewide each year for the life of the agreement. • The proposed agreement includes salary increases of 7.25 per cent over six years. • The tentative deal includes $105 million to cover the retroactive grievances. The B.C. Teachers’ Federation’s executive committee will decide how to allocate the money. If it is doled out as a signing bonus, each teacher will receive approximately $2,700. •Preparation time for elementary teachers increases to 100 minutes per week effective immediately, with an additional 10 minutes in the last year of the agreement. • Dental and extended-health benefits are improved.

Trustees on outside School-board trustees remain unhappy they were cut out of bargaining with the province’s teachers. KamloopsThompson board of education chairwoman Denise Harper said the B.C.

participant in negotiations through the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA), the bargaining arm of the trustees’ group. Last year, while bargaining was ongoing for a contract, the government stopped talks, appointed freelance negotiator Peter Cameron as its official bargaining agent and took control of the BCSPEA. A few months later, the government dis-
missed the BCPSEA board of directors and appointed Michael Marchbank, CEO of the Health Employers’ Association of B.C., as that body’s interim public administrator, essentially putting the provincial government in charge of bargaining with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and giving Cameron and Marchbank the mandate to obtain the 10-year deal with teachers the government had proposed.

Schools are expected to be open for students on Monday, Sept. 22, news that has brought “enormous relief” to local trustees. “We’re excited. Everybody’s just ready to get on with the job,’ said Denise Harper, chairwoman of the Kamloops-Thompson board of education. John Hall, president of the union representing support staff, said schools “are pretty much ready to go.” The first day back will be like all back-to-school days, with fewer hours and the priority to have the welcoming session and then “physically count the kids,” school-district Supt. Karl de Bruijn said. “And then we start calling. If little Bobby isn’t in school, we want to know why. Maybe he moved away during the summer, maybe he’s going to a different school. We need to know.” There will plenty of details to work out, including processing new registrations, establishing class sizes and determining required staffing levels. Harper said School District 73 works hard to remain at class sizes it has established and that can lead to some shuffling in the early days after schools reopen. Harper said the strike/lockout of teachers “was becoming really, really tense and trustees were heart sick, feeling their pain. This is an enormous relief.” SD73 teachers have an in-service day scheduled for Friday, Sept. 26, a contractual agreement that may also be affected by the tentative deal. Hall said his members, which include maintenance and custodial staff, certified education assistants, clerical workers, as well as other support staff, have been working in the schools throughout the summer, something they were able to do because the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) chose to not have picket lines up at schools for July and August. His union, Local 3500 of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, is still bargaining and Hall said progress is being made. Teachers will vote on the deal today (Sept. 18). Harper said trustees also need to review the document and vote on the agreement although she had not had time to decide when that could happen.

Ministry of Environment meets with KGHM Ajax CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
B.C.’s Minister of Environment met this week with officials from KGHM Ajax to review the proposed mine’s new footprint. In interview with KTW yesterday (Sept. 17) at the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce luncheon for the premier and cabinet, Minister Mary Polak said that, despite the meeting with executives from the Polish mining company, the process remains in the hands of B.C.’s environmental-assessment office. “The environmentalassessment office conducts its work on its own. That involves scientists and experts in their fields,” she said. “I met with Ajax proponents yesterday and they showed me some of the plans they’ve changed on the mine in response to
People against the proposed Ajax mine and teachers waving signs of gratitude to the public lined Rogers Way in Aberdeen on Wednesday, Sept. 17, as Premier Christy Clark and her cabinet attended a Kamloops Chamber of Commerce luncheon at the Kamloops Coast Hotel and Conference Centre.

public consultation.” Later on, once KGHM has submitted its application, Polak said her “discussion with proponents becomes very limited.” KGHM wants to submit its application to the federal and provincial governments in the first quarter of 2015. “There’s nothing unusual compared to any other mine that goes through the process at this stage,” Polak said. “What we see and we see here is quite typical.” John Schleiermacher, a director of Kamloops Area Preservation Association, was one of those several hundred people who attended the luncheon. Following Clark’s speech, he spoke to Polak and handed her a raft of documents. In an interview later, Schleiermacher said he told Polak about deficiencies with the environmental process and concerns about lack of a

Several dozen Ajax protesters were outside the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre, sharing space on the sidewalk with teachers. “We certainly weren’t brushed off and we had a good ear,” Schleiermacher said. “I certainly think she understands the importance it is to our community.” Outside the building, antiAjax protesters greeted visitors to the hotel. Bruce Stevens carried a sign urging city MLA and Minister of Health Terry Lake not to be a “yes man” for the mine. “We’re hoping to stop KGHM’s mine from coming to town . . . “We’re hoping she [Premier Christy Clark] sees all our signs,” Stevens said.

SCOTLAND REFERENDUM FOR INDEPENDENCE
‘Economically, it’s not a wise thing to do’ CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Local academics and those in Kamloops with roots in the old country will be among those watching today’s (Sept. 18) results from Scotland’s referendum on independence. Peter Sharp, a retired Mountie and former Kamloops councillor, said he is astonished at the change in sentiment in the decades since he emigrated with his family to Canada in the 1960s. “I’m just disappointed,” said Sharp, who maintains his Scottish heritage through his frequent appearances as a bagpiper. “There was never conversations about independence — it never came up.” Growing up, Sharp said he only knew one acquaintance who professed a
desire for independence for the country with a population today of slightly more than five-million people. “With a population of five-million, what kind of independence can you build?” Sharp asked. Anne St. John-Stark, an assistant professor who teaches history at Thompson Rivers University, said Sharp’s generation grew up in the aftermath of the unifying influence of the Second World War on Great Britain. But, she noted, the roots of independence have always run deep, despite efforts by England to keep the country bound to it. “I’m not surprised it never died out,” she said. “You look at the history of the 20th century and early 21st century. They’ve always been talking about it and there’s been a process of
devolution of power they’ve worked through.” St. John-Stark said the English made many efforts to colonize Scotland in the early medieval period, eventually succeeding through various acts of union. But, the roots of independence have always been there through 300 years of union, signed off in the 1700s. “For us in North America, it seems a bit surprising,” she said. “We’re not following all the politics.” Shortly after the end of the Second World War, the first MP from Scotland was voted in on a vow to push for an independent state. In 1999, Scotland was granted its own parliament, able to make decisions on issues such as health care and education. Garfield Coates is anoth-
er Kamloops resident with family roots in Scotland hoping today’s referendum on independence does not yield a “yes” vote. “I think, economically, it’s not a wise thing to do. They’re very proud of their nation and they’re an independent people,” said Coates, a former president of the Kamloops St. Andrew’s and Caledonian Society. “It’s been a long haul. The union’s been going on so long. It’s entrenched.” Both Coates and Sharp admit the subject can be a tender one with some friends and family in Scotland, emotions reminiscent of the Quebec debate in Canada. Sharp also said Alex Salmond, the politician leading the charge for independence, was not voted in because Scots

wanted independence. “People wanted a change and that’s what you get,”
Sharp said. “Alex Salmond has taken advantage of the situation.”

SCOTLAND REFERENDUM FOR INDEPENDENCE
How did Scotland get here?
I
f the Scots vote “yes” to independence today (Sept. 18), as one opinion poll now suggests they will, three things are likely to happen next week. First, David Cameron may cease to be the leader of the Conservative Party and the prime minister of the United Kingdom. He would be removed by his own Conservative members of parliament, who would hold him responsible for allowing the break-up of a successful union that has lasted 307 years. Secondly, the British pound would fall against other currencies, not because Scottish independence would be an economic disaster for the rest of the United Kingdom, but because the markets hate uncertainly. To prevent a serious decline of the pound, the British government would have to act on its pre-referendum warnings a post-independence Scottish government could not have any say in managing the currency. Nobody can stop the Scots from using the pound if they want — and the “Yes” campaigners say they will — but they would be using it the same way that Panama and Liberia use the U.S. dollar. No control over interest rates or anything else. And, thirdly, Spain would block automatic membership in the European Union for an independent Scotland, perhaps with
GWYNNE DYER
World
WATCH support from some other EU members. Maybe Scotland could become a member eventually, but at least it would have to join the end of the queue for membership and go through years of convoluted negotiations. And it would have to accept the euro as its currency. The Spanish government has already said it would insist on this because the Spanish province of Catalonia is holding its own (unauthorized) referendum on independence in November. Madrid has veto power and it is determined to show breaking up an existing EU country is not easy or painless. On the other hand, it would not be like South Sudan or East Timor: There would be no bloodshed and no refugees. Some businesses, particularly banks, would move their head offices from Scotland to England but, in five or 10 years, the Scots would stop blaming England for all their problems and start blaming their own politicians. And the English would simply have forgotten Scotland. The right question in
this situation, therefore, is not “What will happen if?” Nothing very extreme would happen, although Scotland is unlikely to enjoy the economic and cultural boom First Minister Alex Salmond, who A called the referendum on independence, frequently predicts. The better question is “How did it end up like this?” How did a country that has shared a monarch with England since the early 1600s and freely joined a union with the rest of the “United Kingdom” in 1707 (although there was a lot of political jiggery-pokery involved, as was normal at that time), end up on the brink of leaving the Union in 2014? Scotland shared in Britain’s wars and Scottish emigrants settled in all of Britain’s colonies. The Scots had their industrial revolution almost as early as England and far ahead of the rest of Europe. They played a large part in managing the British empire and profited from it. Post-industrial Scotland has its deprived inner-city areas, just as England does, but the two countries have pretty much the same standard of living. Scotland always kept its own legal and educational systems and, for the past 16 years, it has had its own elected parliament and government, with powers comparable to those of a U.S., Indian or Australian state. So, what’s wrong with this picture? The real grievance
is the fact Britain keeps electing governments that are either explicitly Conservative or (like Tony Blair’s three terms in office) conservative in all but name. Scots see themselves as being more socially conscious and more egalitarian and there is some truth in that view. (Only one of Scotland’s 59 members of the British Parliament is a Conservative.) So, the Yes campaign argues the only way to avoid perpetual rule by Margaret Thatcher clones in London is to break away and build a separate Scottish state. That argument is getting a lot of traction in Scotland at the moment and voting intentions have swung from 61 per cent for No and 39 per cent for Yes in early August to a knife-edge 49 per cent No, 51 per cent Yes in one of this week’s polls. If it goes Yes, then the change is forever and everybody will just have to live with it. But, since Scotland’s dissatisfaction with the Union is mainly about the political colour of recent British governments, a No to independence might also be permanent. A couple of genuinely left-wing British governments and a strong economic recovery (which is actually happening), and the whole thing might blow over.

Blazers to get feet wet MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
marty@kamloopsthisweek.com
Years of hard work are about to culminate in the first regular-season Western Hockey League appearance for a group of Kamloops Blazers. Each of them took different paths to get where they are, but they’re in the same shoes now, wondering what it will be like to step onto the ice on Friday, Sept. 19, when the Blue and Orange host the Victoria Royals at Interior Savings Centre. The Blazers’ home and season opener gets underway at 7 p.m. Unorthodox doesn’t begin to describe 16-year-old Jermaine Loewen’s path to the Dub. The Jamaican-born
orphan who was adopted and grew up in Manitoba has been playing organized hockey for only six years. “If you go through tough things, it just makes it more awesome when you realize you’re making your dreams come true,” said Loewen, who, like the rest of his teammates, is waiting to find out if he will be named to the team for Friday night’s game. “Oh man, I’m just so thrilled and elated,” the sixfoot-three, 201-pound left winger said. “I can’t even explain in words how I’m feeling about this moment.” Blue-chip prospect Jake Kryski’s route was more traditional, the 16-year-old from Vancouver having impressed in the bantam ranks with Burnaby Winter Club before Prince Albert picked him in
WKT1894
the first round of the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft. “It’s a great achievement to get this far,” he told KTW after practice on Wednesday, Sept. 17. “Just taking it this far is a big step for me. Hopefully, I can have a big year this year.” Kryski was expected to crack the team this season, but the same can’t be said for 17-year-old forward Jesse Zaharichuk, who earned his spot with strong play at training camp and in the preseason. “I didn’t get drafted, so I had to work a lot harder,” said Zaharichuk, a Sherwood Park, Alta., product who played last season in the Alberta Junior Hockey League with the Drumheller Dragons. “It’s a huge honour in the end.” See BUCKLE, page A22

Friday, Sept. 19 Victoria @ Kamloops 7 p.m. ISC Coming off a 48-win season, the Victoria Royals are not going to surprise anyone in 2014-2015. They plan on ruining the Kamloops Blazers’ home and season opener tomorrow evening at Interior Savings Centre. The Blue and Orange are keen to put last season — the worst in franchise history — in the rearview mirror, with Don Hay again driving the Blazers’ bus. If you can’t make the game, follow @KTWonBlazers on twitter.
ife-beating and childabuse scandals dominated NFL headlines this month and rightly so, but you likely can’t get away from updates on those dastardly situations, so I’m going in a different direction. NFL Sundays are the best. All across North America, fans and friends gather to watch football, often cloaked in the garb of their favourite teams, continuing game-watching traditions, some of them decades-old. For some families, it’s the time of the week when fathers and sons bond most, perhaps heading to the Fox and Hound at 10 a.m., just in time for cheap breakfast and a coffee (or a beer). For younger children, it’s waking up in your PJs and sitting on the couch with dad for a few hours. You rarely see him this animated. You wonder why this is the only day of the week he insists on dressing you. You realize you’re wearing his favourite squad’s jersey. For the after-church crowd, especially those who never like to miss a game, DVR is a blessing. You had your phone turned off during the sermon. Brunch is on the go. Your best friends are over. The kids are playing outside. There are too many of them on the trampoline but, today, on Sunday, that’s OK. Everyone is happy. There are those fans who choose to watch the drama unfold in the quiet of their own football dungeons. Perhaps it’s their

Then there’s the party crowd. The-double-caesarsat-9 a.m., shots-aftertouchdowns gang. Their dingy apartments reek of bacon and booze — and awesomeness. There is something for everybody — the fantasyfootball lovers (an increasing amount of women, by the way), the bettors and those who simply love the gridiron. With 14 games happening at the same time, it’s a Sunday smorgasbord. The mood can go sour in a hurry, though, if things don’t go as planned for your team. In fact, a tough loss can result in a Monday hangover, even if you weren’t crushing jagerbombs at 11 a.m the day before with the party crew. Hardcore fans might not be able to rid the taste of defeat from their mouths for days, until kickoff next Sunday, when hope is renewed. There’s always next Sunday. Thank God for that.

Buckle up for opener From page A21
Brady Gaudet is at the other end of the spectrum, a 20-year-old defenceman in the twilight of his WHL career, beginning his second stint in Kamloops with the team that drafted him. “Every year you always hear the 20-year-olds say, ‘Oh, it goes by so fast, so enjoy it because all of a sudden it’s gone’ and, as a younger guy, you’re like, ‘Oh yeah, sure, another 20-yearold, another story.’ “But, being in this situation now, it’s unbelievable how fast it actually does go.” The Redvers, Sask., native spoke with some of the younger players on Tuesday, endeavouring to explain the

emotion that h comes along with a home opener. “It doesn’t matter whether you’re 16 or 20, that first game every season is always a very exciting one,” Gaudet said. “It really doesn’t compare to exhibition, so it’s tough to explain. He’s looking forward to his first shift. “The emotion is so high it’s hard to control. You run around and try and touch the puck and, if you don’t, you hit someone. “You just get your feet wet.”
Chase Souto’s career in the Western Hockey League might be over. The 19-year-old forward is at home in California and it remains unclear if he will return to the Kamloops Blazers. Souto has suffered multiple concussions in his career. He reported to training camp, but expressed discomfort to trainer Colin (Toledo) Robinson and team doctors. General manager Craig Bonner and Souto agreed it was best for the longtime Blazer to be with his family. “He’s on injured reserve and there’s no timetable for his return,” Bonner said. “It’s just he wasn’t comfortable after about day three or

“We’re just playing it by ear.” Souto, drafted by the Blazers in 2009, finished last season with 31 points, including 20 goals, in 47 games.

Fast Eddy will run for two days ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Edward Dostaler knows a 48-hour run isn’t going to be pleasant, but it’s not about fun for the 25-year-old Kamloops native. It’s about doing something so crazy Kamloops will feel the need to get behind him. Beginning at 5 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 19, Dostaler will spend 48 consecutive hours circling the track at Hillside Stadium, finishing his run at 5 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 21. In that time he hopes to traverse more than 250 kilometres, a pace of more than 60 kilometres every 12 hours. “I gotta watch for injury on this,” Dostaler, who goes by Fast Eddy, told KTW. “Again, it’s not really
something you can really prep for. “It’s just something I promised people I would give my best and so in order to try and raise those funds you have to do something extreme to do it.” Dostaler is running to raise money for the cross-country trek he plans to embark on in March of 2015. It’s an endeavour that will take him across the nation, starting out in Victoria, running to Halifax and then back to B.C.’s capital. He needs $25,000 to fund the run — paying for promotions, food and the occasional hotel stay. When he leaves in March, he does so with the aim of raising $250,000 in support of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and the Alzheimer Society of Canada.
Thus far, he has raised $10,000 to support himself, but he hopes people will come out to see him finish the run on Sunday and pledge their support. “There’s 87,000 people in this city, so anything really does help,” he said. The idea of a 48-hour run is mad. Just think of this: If you were to drive east of Kamloops at the exact moment Dostaler starts running, averaging 100 kilometres per hour for your entire trip, you would wind up in Montreal by the time he does his last lap of Hillside. Think of all that will happen as he pounds the pavement — the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack men’s and women’s soccer teams will play a combined four games, the Kamloops Broncos
will face off against the Valley Huskers in B.C. Football Conference action, residents of the Tournament Capital will lay down for two nights of sleep and some will go to work two times, maybe even three. And throughout, Dostaler will be running.
He’ll even celebrate his 26th birthday on the track. When 48 hours of running comes to an end, Fast Eddy might not be so fast anymore, but there will be little doubt he’s committed to his cause. He’s hoping it will drive the city to commit to him.

The celebration began with an athlete demonstration at the KGTC, before athletes, coaches, volunteers and officials moved to the Thompson Rivers University Gardens for an awards ceremony. R.E.A.L. Athlete awards were handed out to 10 athletes, all of whom exemplified the ideals of respect, education, assistance and leadership. Ava Cail, Julia Crowfoot, Brooklynn Luison, Kristina Dodd, Jade Wood, Rachel Beauchamp, Christine Strain, Drew Kanigan, Emily Schmidt and Gavin Dodd received the awards. Beauchamp was also honoured with the Above and Beyond Award for contributing to the KGTC in ways extending beyond athletics, including coaching, judging and volunteering. Chris Larouche was named the volunteer of the year. Three athletes were given athlete of the year honours, one for each of the recreational, developmental and competitive divisions. Naomi Silverberg, Sienna Rawlings and Mario Bruno received

Pegulas inch closer to Bills ownership JOHN WAWROW
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Buffalo Sabres owners Terry and Kim Pegula took a step towards buying the Buffalo Bills after their NFL-record $1.4 billion purchase agreement was unanimously approved by the league’s finance committee on
Wednesday, Sept. 17. NFL executive vice-president Eric Grubman announced the result of the vote shortly after it was taken in New York. The approval clears the way for NFL owners to formally approve the sale at league meetings next month. The Pegulas will require three-quarters majority approval from
the 32 owners, including the trust overseeing late Bills owner Ralph Wilson’s estate. Terry Pegula made a brief statement confirming the committee’s approval, but declined to go into detail. “As far as I can say, we’re not NFL owners until that vote is approved and we’ll have no further comments,” he said.
The finance committee’s approval comes a little over a week after Wilson’s estate reached a “definitive agreement” to sell the team to the Pegulas. The Bills were on the market after Wilson, the Hall of Fame team founder, died in March. A person familiar with the situation told
the Associated Press that the Pegulas have relinquished their involvement and are divesting their interest in Five Star Athlete Management, an Atlanta-based sports agency that represents NFL players. NFL rules prevent owners from being involved in firms that represent league players.
CIS HANDS HUSKIE DOPING SUSPENSION OTTAWA — University of Saskatchewan offensive lineman Jordan Arkko has received a twoyear suspension from the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport for an anti-doping rule violation. The CCES said in a release Arkko’s urine sample, collected on March 3, revealed the presence of GHRP-2, a non-specified peptide hormone. Arkko, who was the CIS’s top rookie in 2011, was provisionally suspended on April 25. He exercised his right for a hearing, after which his suspension was upheld. He can’t participate with any organization associated with the Canadian Anti-Doping Program until April 25, 2016.

Rare cancer diagnosis devastates Rob Ford TORONTO MAYOR WILL UNDERGO CHEMO AS BROTHER RUNS FOR MAYOR MARIA BABBAGE AND DIANA MEHTA
THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is devastated after being diagnosed with a rare type of cancer, his brother said Wednesday even as doctors announced they were optimistic about the ailing politician’s treatment. “Rob has always been so strong for all of us and now I ask us all to be strong for him,’’ Ford’s older brother, ROB Coun. Doug Ford, said in a stateFORD ment issued minutes after a doctor announced the mayor’s diagnosis. “I can’t begin to share how devastating this has been for Rob and our family. He is an incredible person, husband, father, brother and son and he remains upbeat and determined to fight this.’’ Dr. Zane Cohen of Mount Sinai Hospital told a packed news conference Wednesday evening Rob Ford had been diagnosed with malignant liposarcoma, which arises in soft tissue structures and makes up about one per cent of cancers. “It has about 60 different cell types and that’s what makes it a very rare tumour and a very difficult tumour,’’ Cohen said. Cohen added that the mayor had been given a clean bill of health in 2011, which mean that the tumour — which he described as 12 centimetres by 12 centimetres in size — had developed since then. “We think it’s a fairly aggressive tumour, mainly because these types of tumours are often slowgrowing,” he said. “To get to the size that it is now, it’s often a couple of years. “So, it’s fairly aggressive.’’ Nonetheless, the clinical team treating Ford are tackling the tumour aggressively, said Cohen, who explained Ford will undergo two rounds of chemotherapy treatment over the next 40 days before doctors reassess his condition. “We are optimistic about treatment. This particular liposarcoma is more sensitive to chemotherapy than most sarcomas, that is an optimistic statement in and of itself,’’ Cohen said. Following the chemotherapy and the results it generates, doctors may or may not decide to carry out surgery or radiation treatments. “It will all depend on the response to the initial treatment and subsequent treatment,’’ Cohen said. “It’s fairly aggressive, but we are treating this very aggressively in order to eradicate the tumour.’’ In 2010, 1,175 Canadians were diagnosed with
soft-tissue sarcoma; about 470 died of the disease in 2009, according to the Canadian Cancer Society, which cited the most recent years for which statistics are available. The stunning diagnosis came a week after Ford went to hospital complaining of “unbearable pain.’’ At the time, doctors told a hastily called news conference they had found a tumour in his abdomen, although they didn’t know if it was cancerous. It took two biopsies to determine Ford’s tumour was malignant, Cohen said. The internationally recognized colorectal surgeon said doctors also found a “small nodule’’ in Ford’s buttock, behind the left hip, which is part of the same abdominal tumour they discovered last week. Cohen said Ford is still in some pain, which is being managed with medication. The 45-year-old mayor, whose tenure has been marred by scandal and admitted substance abuse, withdrew his candidacy for re-election last Friday, opting instead to run as a councillor in next month’s election. His older brother joined the mayoral race in his stead. Cohen said he wasn’t in a position to comment on whether Ford ought to be running in the municipal race. “I can’t really advise [what] to do or not to do,’’ he said. “I think it will depend on his response to the initial treatment.’’ Ford’s father, former Ontario politician Doug Ford Sr., died in 2006 of colon cancer three months after he was diagnosed with the disease. Rob Ford — who has turned into an international celebrity due to a series of scandals touched off by reports of a video appearing to show him smoking crack cocaine — returned to office just over two months ago after a stint in rehab for substance abuse issues. His role as mayor has been largely symbolic since last November, when he was stripped of most of his powers following his admissions of alcohol abuse and drug use during “drunken stupors.’’ Local politicians, including the top candidates vying for Ford’s job, rallied around the mayor Wednesday wishing him a speedy recovery. “It’s really sad that Rob Ford has this diagnosis but I know he’s strong, he’s a fighter and I know he can beat these cancer cells,’’ said Olivia Chow, whose husband, former NDP leader Jack Layton, died from cancer in 2011.

Amber Alert rules were followed in deadly Alta. case, report finds CALGARY — Alberta RCMP have determined officers did nothing wrong when they didn’t issue an Amber Alert for a missing nineyear-old girl allegedly killed by her mother. An internal review was conducted into how officers handled the missing persons case of Amber Lucius. “The review indicates that the officers involved in this matter acted in compliance with Amber Alert protocols,’’ Cpl. Sharon Franks said Wednesday in a release. Court documents detail a lengthy custody battle between the girl’s parents. She lived with her father, Duane Lucius, near the small community of Millet, south of Edmonton, and went to visit her mother on Aug. 28. The documents said when Laura Coward failed to return their daughter three days later, her estranged
husband went to Coward’s home and discovered the woman had moved out. He then called RCMP to report Amber as missing. In one affidavit, Lucius wrote he and the RCMP searched for the girl together. He said he believed Coward had fled the jurisdiction with their daughter. Mounties said a hang-up 911 call on Sept. 2 led them to the girl’s body in a vehicle parked on a rural road near Sundre, southwest of Red Deer. Coward was located outside the vehicle and arrested. Investigators have not released how the girl died. Coward, 47, has been charged with first-degree murder and is to appear in court Oct. 6. — The Canadian Press
INDUSTRY MINISTER: WELCOME TO CANADA, BURGER KING ALEXANDER PANETTA
THE CANADIAN PRESS
WASHINGTON — Canada’s industry minister told an American audience on Wednesday the Burger King file has landed on his desk — and he expects it to be processed within a few weeks. James Moore said he received the formal application late last week for a for-
eign-investment review of Burger King’s US$11-billion takeover of Tim Hortons. He made that announcement during a luncheon speech in the U.S. capital, where the fast-food giant’s impending move to Canada has prompted expressions of angst over the competitiveness of the American tax code. Moore said the blockbuster deal didn’t strike him
as particularly complicated, as there’s no national-security element and no stateowned enterprise involved, as in the lengthy oilsands saga involving China’s stateowned CNOOC Ltd. He said he didn’t want to prejudge the outcome of his review. At the same time, he used the takeover to promote Canada as a businessfriendly environment. On the off chance the
point had been lost on anyone in the audience there was a, “Canada Open For Business,’’ sign under the podium. “Burger King coming to Canada? We want them to come to Canada. Please come to Canada,’’ Moore said during a question-andanswer session after his speech. “Other firms as well, set up shop, hire Canadians,
continue to do business, expand your footprint around the world. Canada is open for business.’’ He cited lower taxes as just one reason why companies such as Burger King, Microsoft, Target and Google are investing in Canada. The Investment Canada Act gives the minister 45 days to review a major takeover of a Canadian firm,
although it allows for possible extensions. The U.S. fast-food giant announced last month it had reached a deal to take over the ubiquitous Canadian coffee-shop chain. The news has prompted some hand-wringing in Washington, where there’s vast agreement that the American tax code requires its first big overhaul in almost 30 years.

B.C. court denies bid to block Trans Mountain crews DENE MOORE
THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — A British Columbia court has rejected the City of Burnaby’s latest bid to block Kinder Morgan crews from its land. A B.C. Supreme Court judge dismissed an application on Wednesday, Sept. 17, for an injunction against survey crews on Burnaby Mountain, the company’s preferred new route for its Trans Mountain pipeline. Judge Brenda Brown did not immediately give reasons for her decision and Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan did not return a call seeking comment. The legal action was the latest tussle in an ongoing feud between the Metro Vancouver municipality and the Texas-based pipeline giant over the proposed $5.4-billion expansion of the existing line linking the Alberta oilsands to the company’s tanker terminal on Port Metro Vancouver. City of Burnaby opposition escalated when the company proposed tunnelling through Burnaby Mountain, home to Simon Fraser University and a large conservation area. The National Energy Board previously upheld the company’s right to access the land under federal law but the civil action filed by the city last week claimed the federal regulator couldn’t exempt the company from city bylaws. Burnaby asked the court to prevent any work that destroys trees or disrupts park land. In turn, Kinder Morgan filed a motion asking the National Energy Board to go further and forbid the city from obstructing its crews. That decision from the board is imminent. In the interim, the company did not plan to immediately
resume work. “We’re satisfied with today’s decision from the B.C. Supreme Court denying the City of Burnaby’s application for an injunction. We maintain that the National Energy Board has jurisdiction in this matter and has given us the authority to undertake the work needed on Burnaby Mountain,” Carey Johannesson, the company’s spokesman, said in a statement. “We will await the NEB’s response to our motion filed on September 3, before resumption of work.” The expansion would almost triple the pipeline’s capacity, from 300,000 barrels a day to about 900,000 barrels. In Burnaby, where Kinder Morgan was fined for a 2007 construction accident along the pipeline that rained 230,000 litres of oil down on a neighbourhood, residents were not deterred by the court failure. Burnaby Residents Opposed to Kinder Morgan Expansion, or BROKE, planned to maintain a presence on Burnaby Mountain and mobilize a protest should work resume. Neil Chantler, a lawyer representing those residents, said they are fully behind the city. “What’s at issue, in part, is whether or not access means cutting down 24-metre tall trees and boring large holes deep into the ground,” he said. The residents and the city argue that such damage goes well beyond access, to a violation of city bylaws. Chantler said the NEB decision is expected in the next week. The dispute has already set the regulatory review back seven months. A final report to cabinet is now due Jan. 25, 2016, if the company can complete the necessary surveys and submit them to the board by Dec. 1.

James Garner of Kelowna and Erin Aarenritchie-Bonat enjoyed some of the recent late-summer weather in Riverside Park. This weekend’s forecast looks like there might be a little bit more frisbee action before things cool down for the fall.
NO NEED TO PANIC AMID THREE CONFIRMED ENTEROVIRUS CASES IN B.C. VANCOUVER — An uncommon respiratory virus that is sweeping across parts of the United States has been confirmed in three people in British Columbia, but the province’s health minister says there’s no reason to panic. Terry Lake said two of the cases of enterovirus D68 are in the Fraser Health region and a third has surfaced in the Interior. “(They’re) certainly much lower numbers than they’re seeing in Alberta or that they have seen in the United States,” Lake said Wednesday,
adding patients who end up in hospital are isolated. “It’s handled much the same way other infectious respiratory diseases are and there are protocols in place.” The three-week provincewide school strike has likely prevented the virus from spreading, Lake said. Interior Health medical health officer Dr. Sue Pollack said a young adult male tested positive for the virus in the Thompson-Cariboo region. She said people who are otherwise healthy should be able to fight it off, but it’s more serious for young children
with existing respiratory conditions. “In children, parents may notice difficulty breathing, wheezing, shallow breathing, maybe the children are dehydrated, not as alert as usual. In those instances it’s very important that parents seek medical care,” she said. The BC Centre for Disease Control said the three people infected with the virus are being treated in the Vancouver area. The virus, also called EV-D68, has been confirmed in 130 children in 12 American states since mid-August,
causing severe respiratory illnesses. Alberta health officials say 18 children in the province are sick with the virus, although chief medical health officer Dr. James Talbot said more tests need to be done to determine if it’s the same strain that is causing the outbreak in the U.S. The D68 strain causes symptoms similar to the common cold, but children with pre-existing respiratory conditions such as asthma may suffer more serious symptoms if infected. — The Canadian Press
NDP criticizes education minister for anti-gay ties EDMONTON — The NDP is criticizing the appointment of Gordon Dirks as Alberta’s education minister, saying he is linked to a church that believes homosexuality is a sin. But a prominent advocate for gay rights in the province says he met with Dirks on Tuesday, Sept. 16, and believes the former chairman of the Calgary Board of Education will work to promote safety for lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgender and queer students in the province. Kris Wells, with the University of Alberta’s Institute for Sexual Minority Studies, says nobody’s faith should preclude them from holding public office. He told radio station CHED that he was reassured during the meeting with Dirks and Premier Jim Prentice to hear the new education minister indicate he was “absolutely committed” to the safety
and education needs of LGBTQ students. The NDP points out that Dirks has been a frequent preacher at Calgary’s Centre Street Church, which says in its statement of ministry practices that God is dishonoured by “sexual activity between persons of the same sex.” Education critic Deron Bilous says Prentice “has made a foolish mistake on his first day on the job” and should rescind Dirks’
appointment. “Gordon Dirks has close ties to an organization that believes same-sex relationships are an offence to God,” Bilous said in a news release. “How can he be counted on to protect the rights of Alberta’s LGBTQ students? “Dirks’ history raises real questions about how policy will be crafted around inclusion, gay straight alliances and bullying in general. Prentice is attempting to cater to the social
conservative views of many Wildrose supporters.” Dirks wrote on his Twitter account about his meeting with Wells “to discuss importance of diversity & mutual respect in schools. No room for any intolerance in #abed #ableg.” Wells said Prentice has committed to host a dialogue with Alberta LGBTQ communities within the next two weeks to hear their issues directly. — The Canadian Press

REGINA HENDERSON
JOYCE MONFORD
DIANA JEAN DILLMAN
On Thursday, September 11, 2014 Regina Henderson passed away peacefully at the age of 77 with her family by her side.

On September 12, 2014 Mrs. Joyce Monford passed away peacefully in Kamloops at the age of 86.
December 19, 1946 to September 10, 2014 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Diana Jean Dillman, oldest daughter of Bill and Eileen Dale of Kamloops (deceased). Diana is survived by her husband Dave, daughter Deanna (Maury) Hik, son DJ (Jenn) Dillman, sister Sharon (Burk) Roblin, sister Elaine (Doug) Chambers & Diana’s brother Jim (Pat) Dale, as well many relatives, nieces, nephews and friends. Diana was married to her childhood sweetheart Dave Dillman at the age of 18, on June 19, 1965. Diana was all about family, first Deanna arrived and she was Mom’s pride, then DJ. How she loved her children with all her might. We definitely had the world by the tail; life went fast. Deanna married Maury Hik and later blessed us with four amazing grandchildren. First, Irelynd, now 16, Sehler 14, and the twins, Gethro & Gertie, 9. Grandma beamed with joy and that is all she talked about and loved sharing stories & pictures with friends and family. Then DJ and Jenn gave us Rome, our 5th grandchild. We thought life couldn’t get better until Di started getting ill. It was a long two years and, finally, after a courageous fight, she left us in her sleep at 1:05 pm September 10, 2014, with her family holding her hands and comforting her.
You touched everyone’s lives Di, we love you, your pain has gone and now you can rest we will see you later. There will be a celebration of life held at The Dunes, 652 Dunes Drive, Kamloops, BC on September 28, 2014 between 12:00 - 3:30. Coffee, tea, etc. will be served. NO FLOWERS PLEASE Donations can be made in Diana’s honour to RIH Cancer Foundation. Thank you to all the nurses and doctors for your compassion.
Everyone who met Diana loved her; she will be dearly missed by all.
Regina was predeceased by her parents John and Elizabeth Dyck (Fehr), brothers John, Ben, David, George and sister Katherine. Regina was born on October 7, 1936 in Morden, Manitoba. She worked numerous positions in sales until landing the best job, becoming a mother. She is best known for her amazing cooking abilities, her house always smelled of fresh baking and she would never let you leave hungry. She was the most amazing mother and grandmother to not only her children but to numerous nieces, nephews and friends. Everyone who met her instantly loved her; she was honest, loving, witty, feisty and gave the best advice. Aside from her family and friends, Regina had a passion for music; she was an avid singer, guitar, mandolin, piano, organ, accordion, auto harp player and could do an amazing yodel.
Joyce was predeceased by her husband Gordon, brother Lawrence, and sister Ruby.
Regina loved to travel, after Archie and Regina’s retirement they downsized and bought a motor home that they used for their home away from home, while exploring Canada and the United States. They spent a few seasons escaping our Canadian winter in Lake Havasu, Arizona and gained many close friends along the way.
While raising her family, she volunteered her time for many organizations including Girl Guides, Red Cross, Eastern Star and Air Cadets. She served on the Ashcroft School Board and sang in the Church Choir.
A celebration of her life will be held on Saturday, September 20, 2014 at 2 pm at the Army, Navy and Air Force, located at 444 Tranquille Rd, Kamloops, BC. In lieu of flowers, should friends desire, donations to the Renal Unit at Royal Inland Hospital, 311 Columbia St, Kamloops, BC in memory of Regina would be appreciated. The family wishes to express our sincere thanks to the staff on 7 South (Renal Dialysis unit) at Royal Inland Hospital for their care of our beloved Regina and giving us our last four years together, and the nurses on 3 West for the care she received in her final days.

One night a man had a dream, He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two set of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. “Lord, you said that once I decided to followed you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me.” The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.” Margaret Fishback Powers

THE POVERTY PINCH “RECENTLY OUT OF JAIL, I WAS LIVING WITH MY UNEMPLOYED GIRLFRIEND AND HER INFANT CHILD . . . . I HAD $166 TO SUPPORT THREE OF US.” More than 130 people attended sessions at Interior Savings Centre’s Parkside Lounge on Thursday, Sept. 11, to experience one month of poverty during a one-hour simulation. Attendees were assigned different characters and situations,
while resources — day care, the bank, the food bank, etc. — were set up around the room. People were given a set amount of resources to begin with, including social-insurance cards, money and transportation, and each shared the
common task of surviving four 15-minute “weeks” and threeminute “weekends.” United Way workers from Edmonton came to the Tournament Capital to present the simulation for the first time in Kamloops.
About 12,000 people have taken part in it overall and the United Way wants to bring the simulation back to Kamloops next year. The exercise was followed by information on poverty in Kamloops.

When you’re making less than a living wage JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER

K
amloops’ top cop Supt. Brad Mueller resorted to drugs — and I didn’t eat for a month. It was the result of an exercise conducted by the United Way last week. For purpose of the poverty simulation, I was 25-year-old Jack Jolly. Recently out of jail, I was living with my unemployed girlfriend and her infant child in a mobile home she was renting to own. Our home needed repairs, as did my car, and I was paying a loan and child support while trying to support us all. Lisa Gamel, who works with victim services for the Kamloops RCMP, was my girlfriend. We started out with $400 in assets, some transportation passes, social-insurance cards and a bit of cash. “Ding.” The first week began and my first obstacle was getting to work. I needed five transportation cards per week — just for work — and I would have to spend the majority of my “15-minute days” earning my paycheque. Right away, it was apparent how important it was for us to work together because I needed most of our transportation just to get to work that first week. But, I made it to work on time, had my time card stamped and put in my hours — errr, minutes — before receiving my paycheque. Now that work was
over, I needed to cash the cheque, purchase more transportation passes, buy food and pay bills — before heading home for the weekend to spend time with my family. I arrived at the bank in good time and stood in line, waiting patiently with others while contemplating my pay. I had $166 to support three of us? With my GED, I made $9.75 an hour for working 34 hours per week. It meant my pay was $1,326 per month. After taxes, it was reduced to $1,165. That amount shrank again to $665 per month after it was automatically reduced each pay period for child support. The list of bills was daunting after realizing my income was meagre. Rent, utilities and loan payments chewed up most it, leaving me with $88.13 per week — to feed, clothe and support the three of us. The math was correct, but none of it seemed right. “Ding.” Closed. While standing in line at the bank, United Way’s executive director Brenda Aynsley, who was also a bank teller for the simulation, shut down the financial institution. The situation was phoney, but my stress was real. While racing home to my girlfriend, I felt my blood boil for the wasted time. We used all of our weekend to make a plan for the coming week. “Ding.” I opted for a chequecashing store and sacrificed part of my pay for faster service, taking
DAVE EAGLES/KTW Judy Batty of the Kamloops United Way helps facilitate a poverty simulation on Thursday, Sept. 11, at Interior Savings Centre. More than 130 people participated and volunteered during the event.
The reality of poverty After the simulation, the United Way shared information about poverty in Kamloops. I learned that the living wage in the Tournament Capital — the wage of “just getting by” — is $18.34. I had been making about half that during the simulation. Other information it shared: • 120 people are on a wait list in Kamloops for affordable housing. advantage of multitasking options before heading to work.

One co-worker tried bringing their baby to work, but was told to leave because our workplace had no child care. One co-worker’s family tried to visit on a lunch break to get money to pay their bills, but they were turned away because we don’t get lunch. One of my co-workers was evicted from their home. Some people — like Mueller — resorted to illegal activity such as drugs and crime. It was Week 3 when I realized I hadn’t bought groceries during the entire simulation. And I still didn’t have the time to eat. I told my girlfriend, “I’m going to go to work and then I’ll eat after.”

ANDREA KLASSEN/KTW Kamloops Art Gallery fundraising event co-ordinator Judy Basso shows off a work by Ed Young, one of more than 100 pieces of original art up for grabs in this year’s Oct. 4 art auction. Bidders can get their first look at this year’s spread at an opening reception at the gallery, 465 Victoria St., on Saturday, Sept. 20.
THE ART OF PREPPING FOR THE AUCTION ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
It’s one of the Kamloops Art Gallery’s biggest fundraisers of the year, and it’s back for the 26th time. The gallery’s original art auction exhibition launches on Saturday, Sept. 20, with a free opening from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. featuring music from Sabrina Weeks and more than 100 pieces of art donated by local, regional and national artists. “The variety we have is just amazing,” said Kamloops Art Gallery fundraising event coordinator Judy Basso. “We have sculptures, we have abstracts, we have landscapes, we have florals — we have something for everybody. “We have something inexpensive, we have something more expensive.” All pieces are up for grabs on Oct. 4, either

through live bidding or silent- and seal-bidding options. Also available are more than 50 packages featuring swag, spa stays and more, all donated by local businesses. Last year, the auction raised about $30,000 for the gallery. Proceeds from the night fund operation expenses at the gallery. Basso said this year’s auction will follow the format of previous years, where participants can choose to attend an auction pre-party at the Plaza Hotel featuring food and music from Cathi Marshall, or join the festivities once bidding
begins at the gallery. Tickets for the dinner and auction are $125, and Basso said art lovers who opt for this option can expect a few surprises as they make their way back to the gallery. Auction-only tickets are $25 again this year. The gallery cut the cost of entry to the auction by more than half last year, a practice Basso hopes will bring in a wider selection of bidders. “We hope that might attract some people who have said, ‘Oh, I can’t afford to go,’” she said. “Because we are a public art gallery. We want to make it acces-
sible to everybody.” The auction itself won’t be without music — the gallery has tapped Margit Sky Project to soundtrack the proceedings. Can’t attend the auction? Basso has a solution for that, too. Visitors to the gallery can make a pre-bid on any of the auction items between Sept. 20 and the auction. “If they seem something they really like we highly suggest they put in a pre-bid for the highest amount they would feel comfortable paying for that piece,” she said. “That would become the opening bid for that piece that night.” Basso recommends making slightly unusual bids to beat out prebidding competitors. A bid of $201.50, for example, would be just enough to make it onto the floor ahead of a pre-bid of $200.

BOOM BOOMS COMING TO BLUE GROTTO
The Boom Booms are performing tonight (Sept. 18) at the Blue Grotto for a 19-plus show. The doors open at about 8 p.m. Tickets are $10 at the venue, 319 Victoria St.
DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
The six guys behind The Boom Booms have been buddies since they were young. As lead singer Aaron Ross puts it, a couple of them are brothers — his brother Sean is on keyboards — a couple know each other from preschool and elementary-school days and a couple are cousins of friends made when some of the band members worked at tree-planting camps. In other words, they’re a band brought together by more than just the music. Their new CD, set for release next month, draws on some of those younger-year memories, a time when they would listen to soul singers Al Green and Bill Withers. “We just like it,” Ross said of the music that inspires his songs. “I just really like that vibe.” While he handles the writing, band members Tom Van Deursen (guitar), Geordie Hart (bass), Richard Brinkman (drums) and Theo Vincent (percussion and drums), as well as Sean Ross, come together to polish off the works and get the arrangements together. They’re setting out on what Ross calls a little tour in B.C. that brings them to Kamloops tonight (Sept. 18) for a show at the Blue Grotto, 319 Victoria St. Ross is excited about the new recording, Love is Overdue, because it brought them together with Grammy Award-winning producer Chin Injeti, a founding member of R&B trio Bass is Base who also produced Eminem’s Grammy Award-winning Recovery, as well as working with Drake, Dr. Dre, Mad Child, Nas and Zaki Ibrahim. It follows the band’s 2011 debut album !Hot Rum!, and its music that was inspired by the group’s road trip from Vancouver to Panama. Ross said Injeti, who works out of Vancouver, had linked up with him and got an invitation to Injeti’s studio, where they played a demo and the producer signed on for the new album. Their success was given a major boost when the group came in second in the Peak Performance Project, netting the group a $75,000 cash prize. Since then, they’ve performed at the Vancouver International Jazz Festival, the Shambhala Music Festival and made the trek northward to the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival. Add to that list their own music festival they brought to Vancouver earlier this year, a bigger version of charity block parties the Boom Booms used to hold to help give back to their home town. This year’s event benefited the band’s Music Tree non-profit organization that donates money to groups that work with a variety of charities.

The latest shipment of goods to leave Kamloops for Nicaragua is sure to be a home run when it arrives. Baseballs, bats and gloves, uniforms and other sports equipment will soon be headed south, thanks to Kamloops Fire and Rescue’s Operation Nicaragua and Diamond Delivery.

Capital to Chinandega, a city on the west coast of Nicaragua. Other items will be included with the sporting goods. “We’ve sent 12 fire trucks now — we’re working on an additional six here in the next little bit — and basically shipping containers full of medical supplies, firefighting goods, humanitarian aid,” said David Sakaki of Kamloops Firefighters Operation Nicaragua. As Sakaki spoke, Diamond Delivery unloaded the sports 9/8/2014 4:37:10 PM equipment behind him.
The delivery company ships the goods to Vancouver for the firefighters, where they are loaded onto boats travelling down to Central America. The containers are offloaded in Guatemala and trucked into Nicaragua. Sakaki recently returned from the Central American country, where he helped install playground equipment formerly used at Kamloops’ Prince Charles Park. The playground is named the Andy and Shirley Philpot Playground, in hon-
our of all the work the Kamloops couple has done for people at home and abroad. “That couple has literally helped thousands of people down in Nicaragua and they’ve helped tens of thousands back here in B.C.,” Sakaki said. “So, a fitting name, for that playground.” “I still don’t know how that came about,” Andy said with a laugh. “I’m kind of very humbled it was actually named after us. “But, we’re only a very small part of it — David has a firehall named after him, too.”

End violence, take back the night this weekend The annual Take Back The Night event will be held on Friday, Sept. 19, in downtown Kamloops. The rally to call for an end to violence will begin at 5:45 p.m. at the corner of Victoria Street and Seventh Avenue with music and speeches and culminate in a march at 6:45 p.m. Musicians Dodie Goldney and Michele Botel will begin playing at 5:30 p.m. and again after the march, which will end up back at Victoria and Seventh. While the Take Back The Night movement began in San Francisco in 1979 as a response to male violence against women and children, women and men of all ages are invited to take part in the Kamloops event. Take Back The Night is now held throughout the world, with the local rally and march emphasizing the theme: Safety Rights For All Women. This year’s event is hosted by the Kamloops Sexual Assault Counselling Centre and the YMCA-YWCA Women’s Shelter. KTW FILE PHOTO Maia Walker took part in a recent Take Back the Night rally.

It was officially added to Marble Canyon Provincial Park on April 18, 2001, in an effort to preserve the unique and fragile structures at the bottom of the lake. According to Pavilion Lake Research Project’s website (pavilionlake. com), the presence of strange structures in the lake had been known for years by the B.C. diving community and Pavilion residents. However, it was dur-
ing the mid-1990s that the scientific discovery of Pavilion Lake’s unusual microbialites occurred. It was immediately apparent these microbialites and the lake itself was a scientific gold mine and that many comparisons could be drawn between the lake’s microbialites and those that existed on Earth millions of years ago. The activities at the site are considered analog research and of great interest to the CSA and NASA for two main reasons: 1. The microbialite structures provide a modern analog to ancient fossilized microbialites preserved on Earth. Studying how these modern structures form and are preserved in the rock record will provide us with tools to identify signatures of ancient
life on Earth and other planets. 2. Research and exploration using remotely operated vehicles, autonomous underwater vehicles, scuba divers and submersibles provide an analog to human exploration missions on the Moon and on Mars. Research and exploration methods developed at Pavilion Lake will contribute to future human-mission plan-
ning and exploration science on the Moon and on Mars. According to a sign posted at the lake, the Pavilion Lake Research Project was established in 2004 as a joint NASAUniversity of British Columbia effort to conduct science and exploration of the lake. Scientific study areas have been designated along much of Pavilion Lake, with scientific equipment and experi-

ments deployed along the shoreline. Recreational diving is only permitted in selected areas to avoid any disturbance of microbialites, scientific equipment and experiments. The lake falls within the traditional territory of the Ts’kw’aylaxw people, better known as the Pavilion First Nations Indian Band. Five-and-a-half miles from the lake sits the small ranching and
reserve community of Pavilion, which gets its name from its Gold Rush-era appearance. Pavilion was a boom town along the Gold Rush Trail — the result of its former chief raising a white cotton flag, which meant they were friendly to the white people. This was unlike the Nlaka’pamux people, who were at the time engaged in the Fraser Canyon War, an 1850s dispute between the Nlaka’pamux people and white miners. Pavilion is one of three lakes in Marble Canyon Provincial Park, which was established in 1956. Crown Lake, with its rocky shoreline and large Ponderosa pines, and marshy Turquoise Lake, surrounded by pockets of old Douglas firs, are also within park boundaries.
Marble Canyon, which is popular with climbers — both for its clean rock walls and also for its ice climbs — gets its name from the brilliant limestone of its walls. The bedrock is microcrystalline limestone, rather than marble.
HOW TO GET THERE
From Kamloops, drive to Cache Creek and turn right at the lights, onto Highway 97 and then left on Highway 99. Go past Hat Creek Ranch and you will first come to Turquoise Lake, then Crown Lake and, finally ,Pavilion Lake. It is a 90-minute drive.

GM pickups offer segmentleading fuel economy The 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon will offer segment-leading fuel economy for V6 mid-size pickups based on US EPA fuel economy estimates. For V6 pickups with automatic transmissions, which make up the majority of midsize truck sales, Colorado and Canyon offer highway fuel economy 3 to 5 mpg better than competitors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Colorado offers some of the best EPA fuel economy estimates of any pickup in a fun-to-drive, easy-to-own package,â&#x20AC;? said Tony Johnson, Colorado marketing manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Colorado proves you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to buy a lot of expensive technology to save money at the pump.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The all-new 2015 GMC Canyon adds segmentleading fuel economy to its winning resume,â&#x20AC;? said Kenn Bakowski, Canyon marketing manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Innovations such as available active grille shut-

ters combine with an aerodynamic design in a smaller, more maneuverable package to set a new standard for fuel economy in midsize trucks.â&#x20AC;? With the 3.6-litre V6 engine and six-speed automatic transmission, fuel rating in the rear-wheel-drive version is (US) 18/21/27 mpg city/highway combined. For the four-wheel-drive version
it is (US) 17/20/24 mpg city/ highway/combined. For the 2016 model year, Colorado and Canyon will add a 2.8-litre Duramax turbodiesel to the engine lineup. Technical details and EPA fuel economy estimates will be available closer to launch. Colorado and Canyon will be available in dealerships nationwide in the fall of 2014.
EPA fuel economy estimates for four-cylinder Colorado and Canyon will be finalized in the near future. With the introduction of Colorado and Canyon, Chevrolet and GMC will offer customers more pickup choices than any other brand, including midsize, full-size light duty and heavyduty pickups.

It’s not science fiction anymore. Toyota is putting the future of auto safety technology on display, including environment-mapping systems that can track objects on the road both day and night, 3D information displays that transform the ability to provide road information to drivers, and an advanced driving support system that will be available in the mid 2010s. All these and more were shown recently at the fourth annual Toyota Advanced Safety Seminar (TASS) convened in Ann Arbor, Mich., ahead of the Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) World Congress. First unveiled last year in Japan, Toyota’s Automated Highway Driving Assist (AHDA) system is designed to team up with the driver behind the wheel to control the car safely. The newest version of AHDA, unveiled at TASS and on display at the ITS World Congress, has been programmed based on actual traffic conditions in the United States and can operate at speeds of up to 70 mph. The system integrates three core technologies: Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC), Lane Trace Control (LTC) and Predictive and Interactive Human Machine Interface (HMI). These support the driver by helping to keep the vehicle in the lane and a safe distance from others on the road, all while travelling at highway speeds. The advanced Predictive and Interactive HMI promotes driver engagement by warning when the system will disengage and monitoring the driver’s hands on the wheel. Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) enables drivers to maintain speed and headway more comfortably while also reducing potential risks by maintaining a safe margin to the preceding vehicle. The system uses 77GHz millimetre wave radar to detect other vehicles on the road and maintain specific speeds and distances. The AHDA vehicle is equipped with a production prototype radar sensor that is installed on the front grill, which will be introduced to the market as part of Toyota’s next generation driving assist systems.

‘Sinkhole’ ‘Vettes to be restored Chevrolet and the National Corvette Museum will restore three of the Corvettes damaged earlier this year when they tumbled into a sinkhole that developed beneath the floor of the museum in Bowling Green, KY. Chevrolet will restore the 2009 Corvette ZR1 prototype, known as the Blue Devil, and the one-millionth Corvette produced — a white 1992 convertible. In addition, Chevrolet will fund the restoration of the 1962 Corvette, which the National Corvette Museum will oversee. A restoration shop has not yet been determined.
In total, General Motors will provide nearly $250,000 in support to help the Museum recover from the sinkhole. The National Corvette Museum celebrates its 20th anniversary this weekend. The five other Corvettes swallowed by the sinkhole will remain in their as-recovered state to preserve the historical significance of the cars. They will become part of a future display at the museum. Timelines for the start and projected completion dates for the three Corvettes’ restorations have not been established. They will be announced at a later date.
The National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Ken., has salvaged and will restore three more heritage cars from a sinkhole that was under the floor of the museum.

The 2015 GMC Sierra already offers an unparalleled blend of style and strength but the new 2015 Sierra Carbon Edition, which will be available at dealers this fall, adds distinctive style to the mix. Based on the 2015 Sierra 1500 pickup, the 2015 Sierra Carbon Edition is offered in three different versions, allowing customers to handselect the truck best suited to their lifestyle. The striking Sierra Carbon 22 Edition, offered on both Sierra SLE double- and crew cab models, adds distinctive graphics that echo its name. Two carbon fibre appearance graphics emphasize strong forms in the Sierra’s hood, while another graphic dresses up the tailgate panel. Additional exterior touches include a black painted grille, along with bodycolored door handles and mirror caps. The Carbon 22 Edition also incorporates four-inch black tubular side assist steps and unique 22-inch black alloy wheels. Carbon 22 Edition models also include fog lamps, remote keyless start, Universal Home Remote, a 110-volt power outlet and dual-zone climate controls. The Carbon 20 Edition, offered only as a Sierra SLE double cab, incorporates the same painted grille and carbon fiber appearance accents as the Carbon Edition, and rides on distinctive 20-inch aluminum alloy wheels. The standard Sierra Carbon Edition builds off the standard Sierra 1500 double cab model with many of the same cues used on the Carbon 22 and 20 Edition models. The Carbon Edition shares its black painted grille, carbon fiber graphics, and body-colored trim with other Carbon Edition variants, and also FINANCING

COMMUNITY
Examining the appeal of jihad in the West
T
here has been a lot of handwringing recently over the revelation that former Thompson Rivers University student Collin Gordon had joined ISIS and was an active part of its murderous agenda. How could someone with a Canadian upbringing, remembered primarily for his role as a party arranger in Kamloops, make such a drastic conversion? TRU Prof. Derek Cook suggested in a forum he hosted at the university that the remedy for the situation was to “inoculate students against extremism by ensuring they’re exposed to ‘liberal values.’” That’s rather ironic given Canada and the rest of the Western world are already fully immersed in “liberal values.”
CHRIS KEMPLING
You Gotta Have
FAITH
The public-school system, pretty much every university and especially the media (TV, movies, music, etc.) are all fully committed to social-liberal ideology. With the exception of the Hutterites, the kids at Bountiful and a handful of fundamentalist homeschoolers, every young person has been fully inoculated with liberal values — and Gordon is no exception. So, I’m wondering why Cook thinks more exposure would work.
I think the issue is much more complex. What is the appeal of jihad to the hundreds of Western young people flocking to the ISIS banner — and what are the contributing factors given the current zeitgeist of Western culture? One factor would be the decline of religion, and of Christianity in particular. Canada is no longer a “Christian” country and neither is the rest of the Western world. Oh, we have lots of churches, but the minority of the population attends services. Despite a few vocal atheists, most are simply indifferent to religion. Easter is more about Easter -egg hunts than the resurrection of Christ and Christmas is an orgy of commercial consumption rather than a reverent celebration of the birth of Jesus. In fact, whenever Christmas Day falls on a
Sunday, many Christian churches don’t even open their doors, as if the stuff from Costco, Walmart and Canadian Tire were more important than honouring the birth of Christ. Yet, we are designed with an innate hunger to have a meaningful relationship with the transcendent. All religions offer that and Islam is stepping into the vacuum that Western Christianity has abandoned. A second factor would be the rise of feminism and the decline of masculinism. Feminist ideology pervades our culture. This is obviously quite empowering for women, but there has been significant collateral damage to the image of men. Men have been portrayed repeatedly as morally bankrupt or as ineffectual doofuses in countless TV shows and ads.
The rise of divorce rates have marginalized many men from the lives of their children. Some boys are raised with no significant male presence in their lives. When I worked as an elementary-school counsellor, of the four school assigned to me, two had no male staff whatsoever. The principal, all the teachers and support workers and the janitor were women. Where can a boy being raised by a single mother look to for positive male role models when he doesn’t have a single one in his life? Furthermore, we have no cultural norm of initiation in Western society. Traditional, tribal cultures all have recognized ceremonies that celebrate the transition from boyhood to manhood. It solidifies their self-concept of what it
means to be a man. So, what does radical Islam offer that is so appealing to disaffected young Western men? Firstly, Islam is a religion that is relatively simple to join, with high demands on obedience to a rigorous ideal, with clear standards of morality and with welldefined roles for men and women. Secondly, the military life is highly masculine, with clear lines of authority and the intoxicating effect of the power of life and death with a lethal weapon. I don’t think young men like Gordon are drawn to the idea of killing defenseless people. It’s the attraction of the power inherent in being a soldier and the affirmation of the masculine ideal. It’s the young man’s initiation they never had. Thirdly, they have a promise of eternal life and, if they die a mar-
tyr’s death, the prospect of extra delights (that would be the 72 virgins attending to your every whim). Radical Islam is a reactionary ideology. They use effective propaganda methods to convince potential adherents that Western culture and society is irredeemably corrupt and needs to be purged from the face of the earth. I’ve heard they show new recruits episodes of Geraldo (“Tonight! Moms who sleep with their daughters’ boyfriends!”) to prove their point. Radical Islam has been successful in responding to the existential angst of young men, engendered by the hedonistic, anythinggoes liberal ideology of the West. With all due respect to Cook, giving them more of the same is not the answer.
Louisiana Hayride pulling into town Established in 1948, the Louisiana Hayride was a musical variety show performed at the Shreveport, Municipal Auditorium in Louisiana and broadcast live over KWKH Radio. It was best known for giving unknown artists a chance to perform — artists such as Hank Williams, Jim Reeves, Johnny Cash, Kitty Wells, Faron Young and even Elvis Presley. Today, the Louisiana Hayride is back on stage — with expert tribute artists — and will be at Sagebrush Theatre on Saturday, Sept. 20, for a 7:30 p.m. concert. Performing will be Hank Williams, Tammy Wynette, Willie Nelson, Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Waylon Jennings and Roy Orbison — or facsimiles thereof. Woven throughout the songs are fascinating tidbits of information presented by Lori Risling, host and creator of the show. The cast of multi-talented musicians include William Brookfield on double keyboard, guitar, banjo and vocals, Mike Melnichuk on standup bass, electric guitar and vocals (when he treats the audience to songs by Faron Young, Red Foley and Merle Haggard), Gil Risling on electric and acoustic guitar and vocals (when in character as Williams, Nelson and Orbison). In addition, Andrea Anderson

returns as Patsy Cline and Tammy Wynette, while new to this year’s show is a tribute to Glen Campbell. “People love this type of music and they love the stories we tell,” Gil Risling said. Since its inception almost five years ago, the Louisiana Hayride tribute show has been steadily growing in popularity. “The word is out there,” Risling said. “We have people booking their holidays so they can travel to see our show again. It’s incredible.” Tickets for the Louisiana Hayride are available at Kamloops Live! box office by calling 250-374-5483 or going online to kamloopslive.ca.
