PUBLIC GETS MORE TIME TO COMMENT ON AJAX ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The public will get another 30 days to comment on the studies and reports the proponents of the Ajax mine must prepare for their environmental review, but a company spokesman said KGHM Ajax isn’t expecting the extra input from Kamloopsians to delay its application to the provincial and federal governments. KGHM Ajax external-affairs manager Yves Lacasse told KTW his company is supportive of the new comment period.

“But, I don’t really anticipate it will result in our submission changing at this point.” The provincial Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) announced on Tuesday, Sept. 30, it will take public comment on the mine’s draft application information requirements and environmental impact statement guidelines for 30 days, starting in early November. Calls for more comment have come from both the City of Kamloops and various groups opposed to the mine since Ajax released a new configuration for the project this past spring.

PROVINCE PLEDGES ECIG CONTROLS JEFF NAGEL BLACK PRESS jnagel@blackpress.ca

Health Minister Terry Lake said the province is prepared to regulate electronic cigarettes so their sale is governed by the same provincial restrictions as tobacco smoking. He was responding to a resolution adopted at lasy week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention, urging government action. The growing trend of “vaping” with e-cigarettes instead of smoking has raised questions over product safety and concerns that years of anti-smoking gains could unravel if nicotine addiction rebounds. Lake said he would prefer the federal government regulate the battery-powered vaporizers instead, but added the province will act within a year if Ottawa does not. The goal, he said, would be to ensure e-cigarettes face most of the same bans or restrictions that apply on regular ones under B.C.’s Tobacco Control Act, particularly the ban on sale of tobacco to minors and the rules on advertising and display. Lake wouldn’t yet say if the provincial ban on smoking in public buildings and workplaces, or within three metres of their doors and open windows, would also apply to vaping, but he noted cities can also pass their own bylaws to restrict use of e-cigarettes. Provincial law also bans smoking

on all school grounds and in vehicles carrying youth under 16. The issue is so new that Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar told KTW he has not given the idea any thought and, therefore, could not comment. Kamloops Coun. Marg Spina, however, wants e-cigarettes regulated like tobacco cigarettes. “My biggest concern with e-cigarettes is youth,” she said. “I know lots of young people use them when they’ve never smoked anything else.” Fellow Coun. Arjun Singh said that, while he is interested in “making smoking a hard thing to do,” he realizes smokers and vapers need to be allowed somewhere — though he doesn’t think either should be permitted in offices. The City of Vancouver is considering extending its smoking bylaw to e-cigarettes and adding the word “vapourizing” to its no-smoking signs. Lake is expected to continue to press for a national solution this week at a conference of provincial health ministers and federal officials. The B.C. Healthy Living Alliance argues the use of e-cigarettes to defy public smoking bans undermines a key deterrent to tobacco use, arguing the jury is out as to whether e-cigarettes are effective and safe smoking cessation aids, noting they are regulated as consumer products and have not undergone the approval process required for a medication.

COLLISION ON COLUMBIA

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

An motocyclist is tended to by emergency-response crews after his bike and a car collided on Columbia Street in Sahali, near the A&W restaurant, on Tuesday, Sept. 30, at 10 a.m. The motorcyclist was taken to Royal Inland Hospital with what are believed to have been non-life-threatening injuries.

Questions remain a year after crash

obody knows why Lorne Perrault, a conscientious, intelligent and quiet 16-year-old flying-school student, left the area of Kamloops Lake and travelled twice as far, in nautical miles, as he was supposed to on his solo training flight. And, chances are, nobody

will ever know why the teenager flew away from Kamloops and toward Cache Creek last summer, ultimately crashing the TylAir-owned Cessna 172 and dying at the scene. “Everybody can speculate as to why he was there,” TylAir owner Tyler Gertzen said on Tuesday, Sept. 30, the day the Transportation Board of Canada

released its report into the Aug. 6, 2013 crash. ““The Lorne that I know was the Lorne who would have gone where he was directed to go,” Gertzen said “It was uncharacteristic. “He would have been your straight-A student, a responsible student, a rule follower. It adds to the mystery.”

food outlet at 1 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 30, after a burglary alarm was triggered. Investigators found

the front door of the restaurant had been smashed in and a cash register inside had been broken into. Two suspects were arrested 30 minutes later on nearby Tranquille Road. Bush said the two men — a 21-year-old who is on probation and an 18-year-old with no criminal record — are slated to appear in court.

Poaching pair?

A judge in Kamloops angrily entered notguilty pleas this week on behalf of a pair of First Nations hunters facing poaching charges. Jay Coutts and Fara Palmer appeared in court on Monday, Sept. 29, by telephone from their home in Cache Creek. Both are charged with trafficking in wildlife, while Coutts faces an additional count of hunting during prohibited hours. Coutts began the phone call by stating he wanted to be tried by a judge and jury in B.C. Supreme Court, but Kamloops provincial court Judge Stella Frame told him that wasn’t an option given the nature of his charges. Coutts then said his First Nations heritage made the allegations federal in nature, but Frame shut that down. When asked by Frame to enter their pleas, both Coutts and Palmer said they weren’t ready to do so. Frame then entered not-guilty pleas for them. Coutts could be heard arguing with Frame, who then shouted, “Disconnecting!” and ordered the court clerk to hang up on the accused. According to court documents, Coutt’s charge of hunting deer during prohibited hours charge stems from an incident in Cache Creek on May 21, 2013. He is alleged to have trafficked in deer meat in Vancouver the following day. Palmer is alleged to have trafficked in deer meat in Cache Creek on April 11, 2013. The pair will return to court on Oct. 16.

Committee hears tuition, tax talk CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A committee of the legislature meeting in Kamloops heard pleas to alter B.C.’s carbon tax and to provide better funding for university students. The select standing committee on finance and government services met on Tuesday, Sept. 30, at the Holiday Inn in North Kamloops to listen to presentations from individuals and groups largely representing business and education. Peter Aylen, president of Kamloopsbased Absorbent Products Ltd., told Liberal and New Democrat MLAs on the committee that the carbon tax is hurting producers and manufacturers because competitors in other provinces and countries are not paying it. “It’s particularly hard for products exported to other jurisdictions,” Aylen said. “We’re not an island.” Aylen said costs imposed by that tax are resulting in lost contracts and jobs. He urged the committee to recommend to Finance Minister Mike

de Jong a change that would see an exemption for those industries. New Democrat MLA Gary Holman noted the province’s cement industry is recommending a tax on competitors bringing in product to this province, but Aylen said that is not practical for his industry. The committee touring the province will report its findings to the legislature and de Jong in preparation for the 2015 budget. Committee chairman Dan Ashton, Liberal MLA for Penticton, said the B.C. Liberal government is committed to maintaining a balanced budget, noting any requests must fit within that mandate. “That does limit our ability for additional requirements,” he said in an interview. Ashton said B.C.’s carbon tax has “put us on the map.” While there is pressure for exemptions, he said that can lead to a cascade of similar requests. Leif Douglas, Thompson Rivers University Students’ Union vice-

president external, asked the committee to push for reductions in tuition, increases in up-front student grants and a review of the university’s funding to match that given to other B.C. institutions. The student union estimates TRU is given 14 per cent less per-student funding than the B.C. average (turn to page A4 for more on this issue). TRU president Alan Shaver asked the committee to back a capital request so the university can build a new nursing and health-sciences building. It is also seeking to expand its trades footprint on campus. New Democrat MLA Carole James said a common theme heard at the meetings is B.C. cannot grow economically without infrastructure in areas expected to generate economic wealth from resources, whether that is a replacement for a wooden bridge in Prince Rupert or need for physicians in Fort St. John. “You can’t just look at the boom economy,” she said. “You’d better do the preparation.”

Dog owners will have to shell out another $5 to keep their pets on the right side of the law after council voted this week to increase fees. Council actually agreed to an increase in dog-licence fees this past spring, as part of its 2014 budget, but the city has not moved ahead with the plan until now. With the increase, licences for dogs who are not fixed will cost $65, while spayed or neutered dogs will cost $30 to register. Dogs deemed aggressive or nuisance animals will cost $105 to licence. Byron McCorkell, the city’s director of parks, recreation and culture, said the extra cash will cover improvements to the city’s dog parks, including water fountains for the animals and separate play areas for big and small canines. McCorkell said the city gets a constant stream of requests for expansions and upgrades to its various dog parks, noting the a $35,000 the extra licence fee will raise for the parks department “will go a long way to help us appease the dog owners.” The city issues about 7,000 licences each year. While Coun. Tina Lange suggested the owners of spayed and neutered dogs should be hit with a smaller increase, council passed on the $5 hike to all animals, regardless of their reproductive ability.

$1,300 LESS THAN AVERAGE

Leif Douglass wants to know why Thompson Rivers University has the widest mandate of all post-secondary institutions in the province, but is below average in government funding to provide those services. The vice-president-external for the TRU StudentS’ Union said the disparity he sees is what has led to the Fund the Future campaign on campus. The goal is to draw attention to the per-student funding that sees the institution receive $8,021 per student, $1,330 less than the average across the 25 educational facilities that range from the University of British Columbia, which gets $13,865 per student, to the Justice Institute of B.C., which gets $4,850. TRU’s mandate is to provide adult basic education, continuing education, career/ technical/trades instruction,

certificate and diploma programs, bachelor and master’s degrees and research. The mandate includes a requirement to serve students in a regional and provincial way, according to a chart TRUSU has distributed as part of the campaign. UBC, the chart shows, is not required to provide adult basic education, career/ technical/trades or serve a regional community. It does offer doctorate degrees. “TRU has the most-expensive mandate, but receives less funding that the others,” Douglass said, noting he hopes the campaign generates interest that might lead to the government re-evaluating its funding formula. Specifically, the student union wants the re-evaluation with per-student funding indexed to inflation and creation of a provincial system of upfront need-based grants

and interest charged on student loans eliminated. In a reply to KTW, the Ministry of Advanced Education’s communications department stated: “Per student funding is based on the mix of programs offered by each institution and also on the number of students. “Thompson Rivers University’s funding is comparable to other teachingintensive universities, such as Vancouver Island University, Kwantlen Polytechnic University or University of the Fraser Valley.” Kwantlen’s per-student funding rate is $7,630; Vancouver Island University receives $7,570 and the University of the Fraser Valley receives $8,043. Only four other postsecondary institutions receive less than the amounts those three schools get from the government, while 16 receive

more per-student funding. The ministry said TRU’s operating grant has increased by 19 per cent since 2005, when it ceased being a university college and gained full university status, taking the operating grant to $63.9 million in the 2014-2015 fiscal year. However, during that time period, Douglass said, the actual per-full-time student amount has decreased from $11,876 to the current $8,021. The ministry also pointed to other investments on campus — none of which are linked to the per-student funding — including $65.1million in capital funds, $1.4-million for skills-training equipment and $264,720 for new seats in trades training in the welder, electrician and carpenter-foundation programs. Douglass said plans are to promote the campaign on campus and perhaps in the larger Kamloops community throughout the year.

IN A PICKLE

Darlene DeMarzo and partner Ken Wong play pickleball in the Tournament Capital Centre during National Seniors Day celebrations yesterday (Oct. 1).

A Kamloops man is suing city hall and the company behind the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new water-meter program, alleging a faulty meter installed in his basement caused a flood, resulting in almost $5,000 worth of damage. Douglas Clark has filed a notice of claim in Kamloops provincial court seeking $3,028.39 for repairs and $1,635.73 for emergency work, as well as court fees, from the City of Kamloops and Neptune Technology Group.

Clark claims a Neptune representative installed a meter in the basement of his Westsyde home in 2012. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over a period of several days following the installation, water leaked from the installation, causing flood damage to the finished basement of the property,â&#x20AC;? the document states, pointing to damage caused to walls, baseboards, floor coverings, structural and non-structural framing and furniture.

Clark claims the flood damage was a direct result of â&#x20AC;&#x153;negligenceâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;breach of dutyâ&#x20AC;? on the part of the City of Kamloops and Neptune Technology Group. In 2010, city council voted in favour of installing water meters in every home in Kamloops and installation began the following year. Neptune and the city have 14 days to file a reply once they have been served. None of the allegations in the notice of claim have been proven in court.

Have your say on cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future What does the Kamloops of the future look like? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the question city staff are hoping they can answer through a round of public consultations on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s updated official community plan (OCP), which continues today (Oct. 2). The OCP, known locally as Kamplan, lays out for which purposes land in the city can be used. Provincial law requires the city to update the plan every so often, to keep pace with growth and changes already occurring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about managing growth and ensuring weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re moving forward in the future in a sustainable way,â&#x20AC;? said planner Maren Luciani. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a road map, so to speak.â&#x20AC;? The last time the OCP was updated in 2004, city planners added in the Tournament Capital moniker and economic-development policy, while encouraging future staffers and councils to increase density in existing neighbourhoods. In 1997, conversation centred around whether the city ought to create more industrial lands. While Kamplan is mainly about what can be built where, residents can also use the process to advance other concerns, said Coun. Donovan CITY OF

KAMLOOPS

Cavers, who sits on the steering committee for the OCP update. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can come with a very specific focus on what you want to talk about,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to have any strong knowledge of Kamplan â&#x20AC;&#x201D; although, if you skim through Kamplan 2004, it probably wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt.â&#x20AC;? Topics up for discussion could include the Tournament Capital brand â&#x20AC;&#x201D; whether to expand it to include more cultural pastimes, for example â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or efforts to make the city more environmentally friendly. The city is hosting a Kamplan launch event today (Oct. 2), featuring games and activities and prize draws. It will take place from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Extra Foods in Northhills Shopping Centre on the North Shore. The city is also hosting a series of community meetings and has launched an online survey. For more information on the OCP update, go online to kamloops.ca/letstalk A draft OCP is expected to come to council in early 2016.

A fix for frustration may be on the way

Motorists frustrated by the slower pace of traffic on Lansdowne Street following the city’s First Avenue/ Victoria Street/ Lansdowne Street intersection reconfiguration may be in for some relief. Director of development and engineering services Marvin Kwiatkowski told council this week his department is monitoring traffic flows on the street and expects to make some tweaks to the timing of traffic lights. Kwiatkowski said the city knew there would be “some levels of service decreased” because the newly configured intersection added another light to the many traffic controls already in place on Lansdowne. “We went in knowing we’d probably have to monitor and then make tweaks,” he said. “So, their point is well-taken.” Although the traffic lights are synced, Kwiatkowski said pedestrians can throw off the timing for three full cycles.

The city is hosting two roundtable budget input sessions on Oct. 22. An 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. session will take place at Interior Savings Centre downtown, while a 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. session is scheduled for McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre on the North Shore. The sessions will follow the same format as least year’s early budget consultations, with members from each of the city’s departments positioned at tables, offering information on this year’s budget. But, because the Kamloops civic-election campaign will be in full swing, Mayor Peter Milobar had some words of advice for sitting councillors and their challengers. “I’ll be really blunt — the hope is this doesn’t turn into an election forum,” Milobar told council at its Tuesday, Sept. 30 meeting. “Everyone is welcome, including candidates, but it is truly meant for the public to have their input into the decisions the new council will make.” While it has not been tried in Kamloops, budget meetings during an election have run smoothly in the past in Prince George, Milobar said.

WHY TEEN PILOT VEERED OFF COURSE A MYSTERY CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

KTW EDITOR

editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

Nobody knows why Lorne Perrault, a conscientious, intelligent and quiet 16-year-old flying-school student, left the area of Kamloops Lake and travelled twice as far, in nautical miles, as he was supposed to on his solo training flight. And, chances are, nobody will ever know why the teenager flew away from Kamloops and toward Cache Creek on Aug. 6, 2013, ultimately crashing the

TylAir-owned Cessna 172 and dying at the scene. “Everybody can speculate as to why he was there,” TylAir owner Tyler Gertzen said on Tuesday, Sept. 30, the day the Transportation Board of Canada released its report into last summer’s crash. “Your guess is as good as mine,” Gertzen said. “None of us really know why. I’m hoping it was good intentions, whatever it was.” Perrault had just

over 90 hours of flying time compiled when he took off from Kamloops Airport in TylAir’s Cessna. The TSB investigation has found Perrault was not able to recover from a flight condition that led to a high-speed descent prior to colliding with terrain near Cache Creek. The report states: “The collision occurred at a high speed and a nose-down attitude. “The manoeuvres the pilot was conducting were not known, but a nose-drop during

some training manoeuvres could lead to a spiral dive if not corrected in time. “Investigators say it is possible the pilot had begun recovery from a spiral dive and achieved a wings-level attitude, but did not have enough altitude to fully recover. “During impact, the aircraft’s cabin was severely compromised, making this accident unsurvivable.” “It’s pretty much what we thought might come back,” Gertzen said of the TSB report.

“The TSB, early on, thought that it probably wouldn’t be something mechanical.” Gertzen, who called Perrault “a quiet kid, a book-smart kid,” said the teen’s demeanour on the day of the flight was as normal as any other flying day. He said Perrault was to fly west over Kamloops Lake and Savona and stay within 15 nautical miles of the airport, noting the student pilot should have been able to contact other pilots and the airport tower via his radio.

“The Lorne that I know was the Lorne who would have gone where he was directed to go,” Gertzen said. “It was uncharacteristic. He would have been your straight-A student, a responsible student, a rule follower. It adds to the mystery.” TSB investigators also found the aircraft was not carrying an emergency locator transmitter (ELT) when it crashed. Although an ELT was not required since the flight was not intended to travel beyond 25

nautical miles from Kamloops, the TSB said its removal should have been documented and placarded. The lack of an ELT resulted in a delay in locating the aircraft, according to TSB investigators. That finding has perplexed Gertzen, who said the Cessna in which Perrault took off was subject to a 200hour inspection before the flight — a probe Gertzen said is intense, from nose to tail. Gertzen said that inspection noted a functioning ELT, which is located in the tailcone section of the plane, behind the passenger seat. “For the TSB to say it wasn’t in the plane,” that’s a mystery,” Gertzen said, noting visually confirming the presence of an ELT is part of the pre-flight inspection. “Maybe the ELT is 100 yards from the crash scene.” Gertzen said he was in contact with Perrault’s family daily from the moment the plane was reported missing, eventually attending the teen’s funeral. Perrault’s father also flies, Gertzen said, and has a plane at Kamloops Airport. Since the crash, TylAir has installed GPS trackers in its planes, which can locate lost aircraft within an hour. But, Gertzen added: “We can only preach safety so much. What they do in the plane when they go solo —

Dr. Matt Francisco

they can do what they want. It’s up to their discretion.” The crash took place almost 14 months ago and students and staff have slowly started to recover from the emotional toll. “Initially when it happened, people felt the burden, the sorrow,” Gertzen said. “It happened to someone they knew, to someone they learned

to fly with. “Some students took a while to fly again.

“Eventually, they do, for the most part, and it’s good to see.”

TENACITY CAN PAY DIVIDENDS

n the end, the public will get a chance to comment on the revised plan by KGHM in its bid to gain approval for its Ajax copper and gold mine application. When the Polish company made changes to its plan, those changes included switching from a dry tailings stack to a wet tailing pond — then the Mt. Polley mine disaster occurred. Needless to say, the breach of the wet tailings pond at the Cariboo mine, and subsequent damage, prompted many to demand another comment period for Ajax’s revised proposal. But, because Ajax continues to be the topic du jour, calls for another comment period were being heard even before the Mt. Polley event. Kamloops council was among those asking for it and, since KGHM Ajax was not opposed, it was perplexing why the province’s The provincial Environmental Assessment Office was hesitant to grant the request. After all, what harm can be done by listening to the concerns of the public? For those who have been pressing for the extra comment period, they can perhaps send their kudos to Mayor Peter Milobar and the councillors who attended last week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Whistler. There, mayor and councillors met with Environment Minister Mary Pollack to discuss the issue. It is likely was also chatted up a week prior to the UBCM meeting, when she was at a luncheon in Kamloops. Polak, after all, will be one of two people making the final decision on Ajax, the other being federal Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq — and both must agree for the project to proceed. “I think it highlights maybe how we do have a slightly different role as elected officials than the public groups that are asking for things,” Milobar told KTW. “It shows when you’re government-to-government and trying to work co-operatively and looking people in the eye, usually you can find some middle ground and move forward on things.”

The campaigns have begun

re you ready for the onslaught? It’s bound to come soon, now that the nomination period for council and school board is upon us. Nominations opened on Sept. 30 and close on Oct. 10. There have been signs for some time now — literally, as Marg Spina was one of the first to get out with the visuals that support her campaign. Spina has also become a prolific Facebook poster recently, asking for input on campaign issues and promoting her involvement in many aspects of government life. Nelly Dever has also been using social media to highlight moments that would have, in years gone by, just made it to a pamphlet — it they were used at all — that a team of volunteers might have delivered mailbox by mailbox by mailbox. Such is how the world has changed. I can remember municipal campaigns in my hometown, when all of us in the family, friends and co-workers of my father would blanket the ward he represented on council. We did it not once per campaign, nor even twice, but weekly — from nomination day to election day. In today’s world, Arjun Singh creates an online poll asking for input and, with a few keystrokes, it has made its way to likely hundreds or thousands of Kamloopsians. Peter Milobar has been

DALE BASS

Street

LEVEL busy on Twitter, as well, inviting us all to follow his mayoralty re-election campaign via @ TheKamloopsWay or over on Facebook at — you guessed it — facebook.com/thekamloopsway. The slogans live on. Council challenger Peter Kerek has turned to crowdsourcing platforms to fund his rookie bid for a council seat, the smiling visages of Milobar, Donovan Cavers and challenger Mike O’Reilly again grace a city bus — and even veteran councillor Pat Wallace has embraced online campaigning, posting a lovely new portrait of herself on her seldom-used Facebook page. Denis Walsh continues to taunt Kamloopsians, telling the media he is leaning toward challenging Milobar for the top seat on council, while Elaine Sedgman must decide if she’ll come out from behind the Mr. Pitbelly mask and Ben James deals with national-media attention because of his assertion he’s running for mayor because he’s bored. Meanwhile, there are plenty

of others like Kerek, ordinary folks who care about Kamloops, have some ideas and are willing to put their names and reputations on the line as they file their nomination papers. It’s a brave thing they do and we all ought to thank them for stepping up and into the spotlight because their lives really won’t be their own for the next few weeks. They will have to jump when the media calls and be ready to speechify at the drop of a hat or at the sound of a question in the grocery store when they really just want to buy some veggies and go home. They’ll be asked to take part in made-for-media events, be challenged by those who disagree with their viewpoints, spend some of their own money for the requisite signs/newspaper ads/radio spots and whatever other medium through which they choose to get their message out. They are the show from now until Nov. 15 — and perhaps even after then if they make it to council. Pay attention to the onslaught of information that will be coming in this newspaper, online at kamloopsthisweek. com and elsewhere. Behind those signs and ads are people who truly care about Kamloops. Show some respect for that fact by getting up on Nov. 15, heading down to your neighbourhood poll and voting for some of them. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

YOUR OPINION

[speak up]

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR POLICE CITY NEEDS TO STOP FOLLOWING THE CROWD SHOULD HAVE STEPPED IN

Editor: In the court case dealing with the sexual acts of two women in Kamloops RCMP cells while Mounties and guards watched, we saw one of the women being carried into the cellblock by four officers because she was so drunk. She was just lying on the floor while the other climbed all over her. I doubt she would have been of sound mind to consent to the sex act. It looks like assault, something our police are supposed to prevent, not encourage. All the officers who decided to get their jolllies by watching should be severely punished. Cpl. Rick Brown should be demoted. Why do they need RCMP guidelines? You just do what your conscience tells you is right. The gal that was out of it needed protection, not people viewing her for their enjoyment. Anne Kruzik Kamloops

Editor: Re: KTW’s front-page story of Sept. 30 (‘Mayor: report not worth debating’): I was extremely disappointed the mayor would say the report prepared by Ernst and Young (a world class accounting firm), which looked at municipal wages, was not worth debating. The report states municipal wages should be reined in as they are growing substantially faster than that of provincial employees. Mayor Peter Milobar and financedepartment staff make the point the city’s policies are to have city wages

grow at a similar pace as other B.C. communities. This is a very self-serving policy that ensures staff and council continue to receive wage increases substantially more than inflation regardless of the true value of the job. I travelled extensively around B.C. during my career and have read many community newspapers. It appears all municipalities say they are just keeping pace with others. This perpetuates the cycle of wages increases year after year. It is not surprising city staff would support this policy as everyone

would like to receive a wage increase annually. However, I would hope the mayor, council members and people considering running for council would stop this cycle of excess. The mayor and council are every community’s financial conscience. It is their responsibility to ensure Kamloops taxpayers get bang for their buck. Blindly following other municipalities’ lead is not financial accountability. Ross Perkin chartered accountant Kamloops

UNIVERSITY EDUCATION NEEDS AN UPDATE Editor: Canadian post-secondary education needs an update. As a student at Thompson Rivers University, I became extremely concerned with the number of graduates I saw struggling to find more than part-time work or resorting to accepting positions for which they didn’t need an education. Many students are graduating and ending up under-employed, without the necessary skills for the jobs available. The problems are that some degrees aren’t supplying the skills employers are seeking, employers aren’t willing to invest in training new workers and students

are being funnelled into occupations that are just not in demand. Many studies provide students with skills that aren’t useful in the labour market, such as philosophy, history and English. These are important skills to have but, standing alone, they don’t relate to many professions. This results in a mismatch of skills, causing many employers to turn to foreign workers to fill positions while graduates go under-employed. Employers want workers with experience, but simply aren’t investing enough in training and apprenticeships.

According to the Canadian Apprenticeship Forum, 80 per cent of employers who use skilled workers don’t offer apprenticeships. Many students are struggling as they are graduating into professions not in demand. The UBC website notes that, in 2010, approximately 2,700 new teachers were certified in British Columbia, while only 1,500 positions opened up. The labour market is changing and the way youth are educated isn’t keeping up. Schools need to use relevant labour-market information to direct students into

professions in demand and provide the specific skills for those positions. Many employers argue they don’t have the resources to offer apprenticeships or training but, what if there were more programs in place? Canadian schools, with the support of employers and the government, can create programs that emphasize combining education with experience to prepare students for a career in demand. Switzerland has adopted this system and is considered to have the best education system in the world. Jessica Watkins Kamloops

public comments on the mine’s application for 75 days of its governmentmandated 180-day review period. Federal and provincial environment ministers have a further 45 days to make a decision on the project. Lacasse said the company anticipates it will start receiving reports from its consultants on the potential effects of the mine late in the year — around the time the publicinput period might be wrapping up. While the company has in past discussed releasing its study results to the public ahead of its review filing, Lacasse said KGHM is still deciding how it plans to distribute information to the public. “These are very active discussions internally,” he said. “We want to make this as easy as possible for the community to try to digest all of this information.” Lacasse said KGHM is considering having its consultants write plainlanguage summaries of their reports so they are easier for those without technical training to understand. KGHM will likely also hold more open houses or presentations around the public-comment period, focusing on changes to its mine plan.

The new plan uses a wet tailings ponds instead of dry stacks and moves many of the mine’s non-pit components farther south of the city. Kamloops Area Preservation Association spokesman John Schleiermacher said the group, which opposes the mine, is pleased to see the comment period going ahead, and will use the opportunity to press for the results of the exploratory drilling program KGHM announced it was conducting in August 2013. At the time, the company said it had uncovered more potential ore bodies at its site, which could increase the amount of available copper and gold. “We want to know exactly what they found and what their

long-term plans are,” Schleiermacher said. While the EAO never ruled out a new comment period, its representatives have repeatedly said they see little need for more input at this stage, noting KGHM’s changes will likely only require the company to make minor revisions to its study plans. The office is reviewing the requirements in-house, as are First Nations and a group of technical experts, including city public works director Jen Fretz, which advises the province. Lacasse said KGHM has not had any indication from the province that major changes are forthcoming based on that review. “We have said all along that we would take comments from the working group and discuss with

CEAA (Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency) whether or not to hold a public comment period — this is what we have done,” a Ministry of Environment representative said via email when asked why the government is hosting another comment period. Mayor Peter Milobar said he expected to such an announcement after he and members of council met with Environment Minister Mary Pollack at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention last week. “I think it highlights maybe how we do have a slightly different role as elected officials than the public groups that are asking for things,” he said. “It shows when you’re government-togovernment and trying to work co-operatively and looking people in the eye, usually you can find some middle ground and move forward on things.” KGHM plans to file an application for environmental review near the end of March or early April of 2015, Lacasse said. At that time, the province will have 30 days to evaluate the report for completeness. If it checks out, the EAO must take more

Have you booked your

Holiday Party?

Don’t miss out! MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS NOW If you are in charge of organizing a Christmas party for your family, a group of friends, your company or just a romantic dinner for two, do yourself a favour and reserve early — that means now. Why the rush? It’s true that there are still a few weeks before all those Christmas parties begin, but there are plenty of reasons why you shouldn’t procrastinate on this. By looking now for the ideal restaurant, bar, pub reception hall or hotel for your party, you’ll have many more possibilities to choose from as you search for a place that will suit your needs. Another advantage of making early reservations

is you’ll be able to choose the best room or the bestplaced table — an undeniable privilege during this busy time of year when places are snapped up quickly. If you get on the ball now, you won’t end up with the table that no one else wanted, like the one next to the main entrance or the kitchen. Either one of those scenarios are enough to ruin the party mood, whether it’s a romantic dinner for two or a huge reception. If you reserve now, you are more likely to be treated well, as a good customer. One last reason to get busy: if you reserve early, the success of the party is sure to be talked about into the new year.

Your guests will have lots of fun on the dance floor to the sound of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hits as well as their very own special requests.

Looking for something really different this year?

Out-of-the-box themes for your holiday party Parties are an integral part of the holiday season, when friends and family gather to celebrate and give thanks. For holiday hosts, parties are a great opportunity to make the season even more festive with an event that guests won’t soon forget. The following are just a few themes to make your holiday party as memorable as it is merry. Christmas sweater party: Christmas sweater parties have grown in popularity over the last decade, when revelers have tried to outdo one another with the most outrageous holidaythemed sweater. Give prizes for the most outlandish sweater and let guests know early on so they can begin their hunt for a holiday sweater that’s so ugly or outrageous you can’t help but love it. Christmas costume party: Costume parties aren’t just for Halloween. This holiday season, consider making your holiday bash a costume party, encouraging guests to dress up as their favorite characters from holiday tales like “Frosty the Snowman,” “A Christmas Carol” or any of the host of beloved holiday legends.

Caribbean Christmas: The weather come the holiday season may be the one thing to put a damper on the festivities. To combat blue feelings from potentially inclement weather, consider a Caribbean theme for your holiday party this season. Rather than wearing sweaters and long pants, wear beach attire and give the party a touch of the Caribbean. Outfit your home in beach decor and serve food and drinks reminiscent of the Caribbean instead of more traditional holiday fare like eggnog and gingerbread cookies. Film festival: Holiday movies are another tradition of the season, so why not invite friends and family over for a holiday film marathon? Include classics like “It’s a Wonderful Life” and “A Christmas Story” and encourage guests to submit their own favourites for consideration. Christmas karaoke: For those who love to belt out their favorite holiday tunes, consider throwing a Christmas

karaoke party that allows guests to perform their own renditions of their favourite Christmas carols. Purchase a home karaoke set and ask guests in advance of the party if there are any particular songs they’d like to perform. — Metro News Service

Have you booked your

Holiday Party?

Holiday party planning for first-time hosts Novice holiday hosts often have a lot on their plates. Whether hosting family or friends or a combination of both, first-time hosts typically want to impress their guests while ensuring they get enough to eat and have an enjoyable evening. Since dinner is such a big part of holiday gatherings, hosts often place extra emphasis on what to serve, and that can be tricky when this is the first time they are hosting. When planning the menu for your holiday soiree, consider the following tips: Get a head count. Though other factors will influence what to serve, the size of your guest list may ultimately dictate what to serve. For example, a small gathering of four to five people will likely rule out

turkey, as even a small turkey will prove too much effort and produce too much extra food. On the same note, a small dish like lasagna might not be doable for a larger crowd, as it will force you to prepare multiple entrees, which means more time in the kitchen juggling the various cooking duties and less time with your guests. Once you have confirmed just how many guests you will be hosting, you can then choose a main course that suits the size of your guest list. Decide which type of party you want to host. The type of party you want to host also will influence what you serve. A formal gathering should include an appetizer, a main course and a dessert, including both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffees. A less formal gathering

gives hosts more leeway. For example, whereas a formal gathering may include soup as an appetizer, hosting a less formal gathering allows hosts to put out some snacks or bread for guests to whet their appetites before everyone sits down for the meal. The more formal the gathering, the more formal the menu. Hosts of less formal gatherings may even want to host a holiday potluck buffet, inviting guests to bring a favourite dish or side dish while the hosts take care of the main course. Ask guests if they have any dietary restrictions. Upon being invited to a holiday dinner, some invitees may let hosts know if they have any food allergies or medical conditions that restrict which foods they can eat. Solicit such information from all of your guests, and

do your best to cater to each of your guests’ needs. Some guests might be on a glutenfree diet while others may need to limit their sodium intake. You might not be able to meet everyone’s demands. Let guests know if they should bring an appropriate snack if you cannot provide one for them. Include traditional holiday fare. People have grown to expect certain things from holiday meals, be it sweet potatoes on Thanksgiving, brisket for Chanukah or holiday cookies or even eggnog at Christmas parties. When planning the menu, be sure to include at least one of these traditional items, even asking guests for suggestions. Such fare will give the party a genuine holiday feel, and guests will appreciate seeing some items on your dinner table they have

enjoyed at their own holiday celebrations over the years. Don’t overdo it. Firsttime hosts want to ensure everyone gets enough to eat, so it’s easy to overdo things and prepare too much food. This can be expensive, and guests may feel obligated to overeat so hosts don’t have to discard any of the food they worked so hard to prepare. Though it might once have been a holiday tradition to overeat, many men and women now prefer moderation, and hosts should keep that in mind when preparing their holiday meals. Hosting a holiday dinner for the first time can be nerve-wracking. But, there are a variety of steps first-timers can take when preparing their menus to come off looking like old pros. — Metro News Service

Rugby Raiders rolling

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW Connor Milton-Wood of the Kamloops Raiders breaks free against Burnaby Lake in B.C. Rugby Union third-division play in Rayleigh on Saturday, Sept. 27. Kamloops’ women will play United Rugby Club of Coquitlam in the Fraser Valley Rugby Union regional-competition final this weekend in Burnaby.

The Kamloops Rugby Club Raiders gave fans something to cheer about at the Tournament Capital Ranch in Rayleigh on Saturday, Sept. 27. Kamloops improved to 2-1 in B.C. Rugby Union third-division play with a 36-13 victory over Burnaby Lake. Scoring tries for Kamloops were Brian MacKinnon (3), Jeremy Whata, Sky Freeman and Justin Blanchard. Prop Greg Thomson added three conversions. The Raiders play their last home game of the fall season on Saturday, Oct. 4, when the UBC Thunderbirds (2-1) are in town. Game time is 1 p.m.

Body odour too much to handle at gym

o, I saddle up for another one of my patented halfass stationary-bike sessions and the rank stench hits me like a ton of Inland Cigar Factory bricks.

sible to describe, but I know you know the smell. The intolerable smog blankets a 30-foot radius and can be even more far-reaching in

the most severe, unpalatable cases. It’s inescapable. It fills your nostrils and makes its way into your lungs. You can plug your nose but, eventually, you have to breathe in. Sometimes you can’t resist the temptation to inhale because you have to make sure that, yes, it really was that bad. It makes me angry. I’m not saying that flippantly or sarcastically.

It’s the first thing I feel — complete and total disdain for the hygiene-less clown. I can’t control my disgusted, shocked, contorted face of hatred, either, after that first involuntary gulp of malodorous air. Inhale: Hate face. It’s knee-jerk resentment and rage.

honestly say it’s never been a woman, not in my experience. It’s always a man — a stinky, stinky man roaming around cluelessly, unaware he is ruining workouts left, right and centre. The happy, stinky workout wanderer, I like to call him. There are people stricken with certain ailments who are allergic to deodorant and there are other conditions that

lead to body odour. I’m not targeting you and I don’t mean to offend. I’m taking direct aim at the happy, stinky workout wanderer who has on many occasions caused people to alter or cut short their training sessions because he figured, well, I don’t smell that bad and I have to shower after the gym anyway. Or, he just couldn’t mix in a wash cycle that included his favourite raggedy-neck Brooks T-shirt from 1987. You can guarantee his tube socks are just revolting, too, and they

are on the same biyearly, cold-cold, delicate spin-wash rotation as the shirt. These nauseating characters are not limited to the gym. There’s always “that guy” on your team who hasn’t washed his rugby gear since high school. He’s actually motivational in that you refuse to run behind him during warm-up laps. These people need to be confronted. It’s not fair to the rest of us. To the happy, stinky workout wanderer — clue in. You stink.

Euro duo finds home with Blazers MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER marty@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops Blazers’ trainer Colin (Toledo) Robinson likened Michael Fora to the Terminator and head coach Don Hay said Patrik Maier has a mean streak. Both European import defencemen seem to be settling in nicely with the Blue and Orange. “I think they’re both going to turn into players we can really count on,” Hay said. “They’re both physical. Michael is maybe a little bit more under control. Patrik is a mean player.” Maier, a 1996-born left-hand shot from Bratislav, Slovakia, was picked by the Blazers sixth overall at the CHL Import Draft in the summer. The five-foot-11, 190-pound blue liner wasted no time making headlines in the WHL, incurring a three-game suspension for a check to the head against the Victoria Royals on Friday, Sept. 26. He will serve the third game of the moratorium when Kamloops plays in Lethbridge tomorrow (Oct. 3). Kamloops selected Fora — a 1995-born right-hand shot from Bellinzona, Switzerland — 66th overall in the same draft.

MICHAEL FORA

“He’s a machine,” Robinson said of Fora. “The guys kid around all the time whether he’s human or transformer. “To me, he reminds me of Terminator, just with his accent and how big and strong and powerful he is.” Fora developed a disciplined training regime three years ago when he sustained a leg injury playing in Switzerland. “I worked myself every week, every day,” said Fora, who finds the people of Kamloops generally friendlier than his countrymen. “I did a lot of workouts and some special programs with my coach to improve my weight.” Fora is more adept with the English language than Maier, but

the Slovakian doesn’t need fancy words to describe the way he plays. “I like physical game,” said Maier, who lost a tooth during practice this week when he was high-sticked by Eric Krienke. Fora likely has a harder shot than his European teammate. Both skate well and are capable of moving the puck. “Patrik is learning the North American game,” Hay said. “Our game is so much about positioning as a D man. He’s got to cover a smaller area, but he’s used to a bigger ice surface. He’s had to adjust his position to protect the middle of the ice more and he’s starting to adapt. We saw good things from him in Victoria.” Fora also impressed the Kamloops coaching staff on Vancouver Island, where the Blazers took three of four points from the Royals on the weekend. “We’re really happy with his competitive level,” Hay said. “He shoots the puck really well. He was good on the power play on the weekend and he logged a lot of minutes five-on-five.” The Swiss D-man is not without quirks. “I’ve only sharpened his skates twice this season,” Robinson said.

Kamloops Blazers’ defenceman Patrik Maier hails from Bratislav, Slovakia. ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

“That’s just what he does and we’re going to have to change that.” Most players have their skates sharpened at least twice a week. “If you see him go down, it’s not me,” Robinson said with a laugh.

GRAHAM AGASSIZ

mountain event this week. Rampage bills itself as â&#x20AC;&#x153;The great equalizer of all mountain bike eventsâ&#x20AC;? and draws slopestyle riders, downhill racers and naturalterrain free riders. Competitors traverse near-vertical sandstone ridges, riding down 80-foot drops and flipping over canyons, in hopes of winning one of the most prestigious titles in professional mountain biking. Agassiz has been to Rampage four times, but has yet to find the podium. In 2008, he finished eighth. He was 13th in 2010. In 2013, he said he felt he had the competition won, but crashed on the final obstacle and wound up 17th. This year had promise. He crashed on his first qualification run, but put together a run that was the talk of the day in his second, and final, opportunity, pushing himself into the final with a score of 94.00, the best qualify-

ing score at the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew it was going to be a good run if I could link it together,â&#x20AC;? Agassiz said. Unfortunately, after qualifying for the 20-man final, the Kamloops rider sprained his MCL in a late-night practice run and was force to withdraw from the competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would have been great to do finals, because I know I had a lot more in the bag that I would have pulled out,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, it was cool to see that my safety [second] run would have been a second place in finals if I had done it that day.â&#x20AC;?

Agassiz will take a few weeks to recover in Kamloops, doing some hunting and fishing, before getting back on his bike. He has plans to continue working on an upcoming movie, Low Key For Sure Man, which will recap his year and his comeback from injury. No matter what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing between now and this time next year, Rampage wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be far from his mind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never really pulled one together to get a solid result yet, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying still,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be back and, hopefully, we can lock this one in.â&#x20AC;?

Less than a year has passed since Graham Agassizâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mountain-biking career was nearly ended by a freak accident in Savona. But, if his performance this week at Red Bull Rampage 2014 is any indication, the Kamloops native has made a full recovery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a little nervewracking,â&#x20AC;? Agassiz told KTW as he was driving hime from the Virgin, Utah, event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rampage is such a gnarly event. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you have to be 110 per cent to be there, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full on. You go down there, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to hurt, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to suck, everything is a lot bigger in person. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know, after every injury, I feel like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a lot stronger physically and mentally. So, I felt really good. I felt really confident. I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too scared at all.â&#x20AC;? Agassiz was injured when his bike pedal caught on a sage bush last year, sending him tomahawking over his handle bars to the ground. He broke his C6 vertebrae in two places. It has been a long road back to competing for the 24-year-old Kamloops native. Surgery and months of rehab culminated in his return to the big-

it is more attractive to swimmers and runners as WolfPack athletics embarks on its first Canadian Interuniversity Sport season in the two fields. The sports join soccer as the school’s new CIS offerings this season. Last year, soccer and cross-country competed in the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association, while swimming wasn’t a university sport. The cross-country running season is already underway, while the swimming season begins on Oct. 10. Swimmer Sarah McChesney is the first recruit of the WolfPack swim team. The Prince Rupert native told KTW that were it not for the introduction of the

swim team, she likely would have ended up at the University of Victoria or Simon Fraser University. The WolfPack is hoping her story is similar to those of other athletes in the new sports. “Most swimmers

from the North are looking to go to schools that aren’t very big. They’re not used to that,” she said. “Kamloops is a nice sized school . . . having a swim team now, more athletes are going to choose to come

to Kamloops.” For swimmers like Jagdeesh Uppal, who was already a TRU student and a Kamloops native, the swim team offers an opportunity to continue in the sport and earn scholarships while competing.

No harm done to Pack hoops, v-ball teams

RECRUITMENT BOON Uppal, 18, is entering his second year of a bachelor of science. Head coach Brad Dalke said the situation will be the same for athletes currently in high school — those like Kamloops Classic swimmers Makena g Sutherland and Megan Dalke, who are already making waves on the national scene. “It now gives them an option,” the coach said, noting the benefits of living rent-free at home, while collecting scholarship money. “So, we definitely have a leg up on all the rest of the teams that are going to be going after, and trying to recruit, our kids.” While the crosscountry team isn’t new to TRU, its CIS standing is.

Head coach Jack Miller said the benefits to the team will be similar to those in swimming — more scholarships and more prestige should mean more athletes. The transition to the CIS will also bring some changes in the competition, race rules and schedule. The team will make a trip to the U.S. for an intercollegiate meet, the race distances will be increased (from eight to 10 kilometres for the men and from five to six kilometres for the women) and the competition will improve. “So, we’ll be in tough, but that’s OK,” Miller said. “We were in tough in CCAA when we first went in there.”

The TRU WolfPack women’s volleyball and basketball teams went undefeated in exhibition play on the weekend in Kamloops. Head coach Chad Grimm and the women’s volleyball team rattled off a pair of wins at the Tournament Capital Centre (TCC) — 3-1 over the UBC Okanagan Heat of Kelowna on Friday, Sept. 26, and 3-0 over the Capilano University Blues of North Vancouver on Saturday, Sept. 27. UBC Okanagan and TRU compete in the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) ranks. Capilano is a Pacific Western Athletic Association school. The Pack women are playing this weekend at the Best of the West Tournament in Vancouver. TRU opens regular-season CIS basketball play on Oct. 10 against Trinity Western University at the TCC. Head coach Scott Reeves and TRU’s basketball women also posted a pair of weekend victories, twice topping the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology Ooks — 83-62 on Friday and 80-53 on Saturday. Both games against the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference school were held at the TRU Gym. The WolfPack women will be in Kingston this weekend for the Queen’s University Tournament. TRU opens regular-season CIS play against the UNBC Timberwolves of Prince George at the TCC on Nov. 7.

MARGARET (MAGGIE, MOPPIE) PIMBLOTT (nee van Diemen)

Martina Clarina Maria Pimblott passed away peacefully on Friday morning September 26, 2014 surrounded by family at Kamloops Hospice. Pre-deceased by her parents and her older sister Anna. Left to mourn her loss is her life partner Scott, her three boys Brian Wills (Tannis) Winnipeg, MB, Kevin Wills (Kristin) Kamloops, BC, Barry Wills (Brynn) Victoria, BC, her two step-children, Jennifer Thiessen (Len) Enderby, BC and Scott Pimblott (Jillian) Kamloops, BC. She was blessed with 8 grandchildren, Kimberly, Jared, Gavin, Nathan, Julia, Tanner, Paige, and Jade and 5 stepgrandchildren Lily, Andrew, Robin, Abigail and Elisabeth. Also left to mourn her loss were her 10 surviving siblings and their spouses, numerous nieces and nephews and her many life-long friends. Maggie, as she was lovingly called, was born in Uithoorn, Netherlands on July 27, 1948; the 11th of 12 children to Art and Anna van Diemen. They immigrated to Canada in April 1953 on a ship called the Groote Beer which docked at Pier 21. They made their way to Keremeos and settled there for a few years and then they moved to Mercoal, AB so their dad could work in the coal mines. After 2 years they moved back to Keremeos where their dad eventually started a turkey farm. It was a very profitable venture, especially with so many children to help with the chores. Margaret enjoyed very special and caring relationships with her siblings and their spouses for her entire life. Margaret married John Wills on June 17, 1966. They had three sons Brian in Oct. 1967, Kevin in Aug. 1969 and Barry in Aug. 1972. They raised their sons in a variety of towns throughout BC, including Chetwynd and Kamloops. On July 23, 1985 she married Chris Pimblott, thereby growing her family by gaining a step-daughter Jennifer and a step-son Scott. She loved all of her children whole-heartedly. At the age of 60, Maggie went back to school and found her calling as a Residential Care Aid. She eventually chose to take a full time position at Ridgeview Lodge. Her family was so proud of her. She loved her new career and was well-liked by the residents and her co-workers because she brought so much joy, passion and commitment to those in need. Maggie will be remembered for her strong work ethic and caring nature, her genuine zest for life, her deep love for her family and her shining spirit. Margaret fought a brave 8 month battle against ALS. She was deeply moved by the outpouring of support she received from her family, friends and community during this difficult time. She was very grateful to the medical community who helped her meet the challenges of ALS with dignity and grace. Her family wishes to extend their deepest gratitude to Margaret’s medical team, which included, but not limited to, Dr.Jill Calder, N.P. Colleen Regehr, Dr. Bill Stinson, the ALS Society of BC, the supportive staff at Royal Inland Hospital 3-West and the caring staff at Marjorie Willoughby Hospice in Kamloops. In lieu of flowers, the family gratefully invites donations to the ALS Society of BC and the Marjorie Willoughby Hospice in Kamloops in Margaret’s name.

ALBERT “GEORGE” STEPHENS Saskatchewan born and longtime resident of Kamloops and Vancouver Albert George Stephens (VE7 YF) died of a sudden cardiac event in Kamloops on Sept. 16, 2014 at age 89 years. He is lovingly remembered by his daughters Marilyn (Arnie) Kidner of Kamloops and Robbin Stephens of Surrey, his grandchildren Joanna (Henry) Weindhardt, Corey Szy, Allan (Olivia) Kidner, and Arnott Kidner, his great-grandchildren Elyssa and Daniel Weinhardt and expected baby Kidner, as well as many friends and relatives. He is predeceased by his wife Dorothy, great-granddaughter Kaitlyn Weinhardt and sister Rose Bonish.

ARLETTE MARIE

McISAAC

February 2, 1962 ~ October 2, 2013

Maria is predeceased by her father Angelo, mother Santina, and brothers-in-law Rodolfo and Antonio (Anna) from Italy. Maria is survived and will be sadly missed by her husband Guido of 49 years, two children Mauro & Sabrina, grandchildren Roma & Lucca, brothers Gianni (Emma) & Albino (Vera), sister Dina, many nieces and nephews in Italy, and her extended family in Canada. Maria was 18 years old when she came to Canada from her home town of Rosa, Italy accompanied by her mother-in-law & father-in-law. She came to Canada to marry the love of her life Guido Campagnaro. Together they had two beautiful children Mauro & Sabrina. At the beginning of her life in Canada, Maria had a tough time to integrate into this society. With her determination and dedication, she had the courage to overcome the obstacles she faced. The language barrier was the main hurdle; however, she knew that if she put her mind into learning English, she would have a better life in this, according to her, “strange country.” Maria had many accomplishments in her life. When she was 12 years old, she worked at a ceramic factory in Italy. After learning the English language from a private teacher, she got the courage to go to school. In 1987, she graduated from the Fine Arts Program at Cariboo College in Kamloops, BC. She also volunteered at the Kamloops Art Gallery; however, her main job was at the Kamloops Museum & Archives. She worked as a Museum Attendant for 15 years until her health caused her to retire in 2000. She also taught art for young children at the museum and at St. Ann’s Academy for grade eight children. Prayers will be recited on Sunday, October 5, 2014 at 7:00 pm and the Funeral Mass, presided by Father Fred Weisbeck will follow the next day, Monday, October 6, 2014 at 10:30 am at Holy Family Parish, 2797 Sunset Drive, Kamloops. The family wishes to acknowledge and express their immense gratitude for the medical care and close attention she received by the interdisciplinary team at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver, BC and for the cardiology unit. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Heart & Stroke Foundation in memory of Maria will be very much appreciated. Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

On October 2, 2013, Arlette passed away peacefully, after a short fight with CRPS and other medical conditions. She touched the lives of many who knew her. She is sadly missed by the love of her life, Gerry, her four-legged kids: Shadow, Mocha, Latte and Java, her mother Janet, sisters Heather and Christine, brother Donald, nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. Her favourite pastime was to buy things at different venues for cheap, bring them home and make up displays and take pictures to sell them online for 100% profit. Rest in peace, my love

Pennies From Heaven I found a penny today Just lying on the ground But it’s not just a penny this little coin I’ve found. “Found” pennies come from heaven That’s what my Grandpa told me He said angels toss them down Oh, how I loved that story .

DAWN ANNETTE DAYKIN

KRETSCHMER

September 29, 1966 – September 24, 2014

John Kretschmer passed away on or about September 21, 2014 at the age of 52 in Kamloops, BC.

It is with great sadness that we

announce that Dawn passed away Wednesday, September 24,2014 at the young age of 47. She is sadly missed by her partner Shawn, her two children Ashley and Nathan, parents Rick and Marion Naylor, her sister Julia (Mike) and brother Mark (Angie), aunts and uncles, (UK and USA) cousins, nieces and nephews and a very large extended family.

Dawn came to Canada as an infant from the UK with her parents. Settling first in Alberta, then BC, then Saskatoon only to eventually settle in and grow up in Maple Ridge. Her first love as a child was her horse Shasta whom she spent many happy days with. Dawn always had a zest for life and was very proud of her two children and their accomplishments. She also had an insatiable love of many sports and the players. In recent years she developed a yearning to create wonderful memories of her life and children by scrapbooking, where once again strong friendships were made. Dawn fought a long, hard and courageous battle with cancer and after a wonderful stay at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home, she passed peacefully in the company of Shawn and the wonderful Hospice people. We wish to thank all the staff, RN’s, HCA’s, MD’s and the many volunteers.

John was mentally challenged due to being born with insufficient oxygen. He bravely overcame many of the challenges in his physical and educational development. He spent four years at a boarding school in Cobble Hill on Vancouver Island in a school for special needs boys, and later also enrolled in the Overlander Secondary School for special needs students, in Kamloops. John mastered swimming and was a natural. He learned to waterski out on Shuswap Lake and also loved to drive a very small motor boat with a noisy 4 HP motor in circles in front of the family cabin, to the chagrin of the neighbours. John took part in Special Olympics with a vengeance and received some nice citations and medals. He even took a special course in mechanics at the University - slated for his needs. John worked 2 days a week at Richmond Steel Recycling Ltd. (formerly Kamloops Scrap & Metal) for many years. He also worked at the local brewery with Smart Options Inc. We will miss John and he will be in our hearts forever. Grieving him are his mother, Ruth Husson, his father, Alfred Kretschmer (Marie), his siblings Lynn (Will) Lombard-Zachary and Kimberly, Jeff (Michele) Scott-Jackson and Sidney, and his step-sisters Lynn, Joni, Terri and families. A Memorial service will be held on Friday, October 3rd, 2014 at 1:00 pm. at Schoenings Funeral Chapel.Refreshments to follow. In lieu of flowers, you may make donations to the charity of your choice.

IN MEMORY OF

SALVATORE (SAM) BRUNO January 14, 1957 - September 24, 2014 With profound sadness and an acute sense of loss, we sadly announce that at one minute past 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, the 24th of September, 2014, with a quiet, serene dignity and incredible bravery, SAM BRUNO, age 57, slipped peacefully away from this life, in the place he wished to be, at home, while sleeping, and gently holding the hand of his wife, best friend, and soulmate, Coral. On the 14th of January 1957, Salvatore (Sam) Bruno was born to his loving and devoted parents, Alfredo and Teresa, in the village of Grimaldi, Italy. When Sam was age 4, his parents and he left their small village in Italy to emigrate to Canada. Guided by their deep faith, an unyielding optimism, intense determination, and unfailing work ethic, together they began to build and share a life filled with many bounties, which would eventually also include a brother and sister for Sam. Sadly, Sam was predeceased by his mother, Teresa, in December 2013, his mother-in-law Veronica Miner, in January 1998, and father-in-law Fred Miner, in January 2006. He is survived by his devoted wife, Coral and (step) son Steven Mitchell, as well as his father, Alfredo, his brother Mario (& wife Catia, as well as their children Kaitlin and Justin), his sister Tina (Don Hamlin) and Coral’s brother Jody (& wife Suzanne, as well as their children Natasha, Blake, Kyle, and Kayden). Sam was widely known throughout the community of Kamloops, both for his work as an insurance broker and for his passion for photography. He was a long-time member of the local Colombo Lodge Society, as well as a member of the KTSA. Sam was a man of unyielding personal integrity, as well as unfailing honesty and a strong personal work ethic. His clients knew that they could always count on Sam to explain the obscure and make sense of the complicated. He made friends easily and his workmates looked to him as a mentor, knew him as a jokester, and relied on him to ‘always do the right thing.’ Sam loved to take pictures, most especially of wildlife, in the hills around Knutsford, Barnhartvale, Tranquille, and Pritchard. He won a number of photography contests, and had his pictures accepted for use in a BC calendar numerous times as well. He carried a camera with him everywhere he went, and he was often asked -- by clients, friends, family, co-workers and sometimes even strangers -- to take pictures of their children at play or participating in sporting events, or of themselves, sometimes in costume, other times in formal wear. Sam seldom refused a request to take a photo.

BAKER-HAUGEN

Winnifred (Wyn) Anne Elizabeth Baker-Haugen (nee Veach), 82, of Kamloops, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, September 24, 2014 at Kamloops Seniors Village. Wyn was born on March 7, 1932 in Kamloops, BC to Hugh Dearen and Margaret Anne Veach, and was sister to her younger brother, Robert Hugh. She graduated from Kamloops Secondary School in 1949 after skipping two grades. Wyn earned a Certificate of Business Administration from the University College of the Cariboo when she was 59, in her lifelong quest for learning. In 1954 Wyn married Howard Baker with whom she had four children in Kamloops. In 1986 she married her partner for the rest of her life, Leslie Nelson Haugen. Wyn was a caring and compassionate daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, home-maker, and a lover of animals, art, literature and music. In the tradition of her grandmother, she loved to sew, knit, crochet, embroider and weave. In the tradition of her mother, she loved cooking, baking, and water-color painting. She was very pleased to show her paintings in gallery settings. Wyn is remembered for her tender demeanor and for providing a wonderful, loving and safe environment for her children, grandchildren, and their friends to flourish within. She lived for her family, and right until the very end continued to both recognize accomplishments and soothe their hardships. She took great joy in every family gathering and great pride in her family’s every accomplishment. She had a beautiful smile and loved to laugh. Her breads, pies, cookies, butter tarts, banana bread, canning, fruit jams and spaghetti sauce (amongst many other culinary specialties) were legendary. Wyn worked in the Admissions Department and the Vocational wing of Cariboo College where she loved to help, guide and orient students from around the world to their educational experience. Wyn was predeceased by her first son, ”Randy” Baker, of Victoria, BC, and her parents. She is survived by: her devoted husband Leslie Haugen of Kamloops; brother “Bobby” Veach (Doreen) and family; son Lyle Baker (Isabella) of Salmon Arm, BC; son Brett Baker (Georgia) of Bozeman, MT; and son Barry Baker (Christine) of Kamloops, BC; grandchildren Dustin Baker (Ashley), Blake Baker (Taniss), Brittany Alexander, Nina Baker, Chad Baker, Hailey Baker, and Shae Baker. Wyn’s niece Heather Phelps will deliver the eulogy. A Celebration of Life will be held at Kamloops Funeral Home at 11:00 am on Sunday, October 5, 2014. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Alzheimer Society of Canada or the Shriners.

Others Who Have Gone Before

By Joanetta Hendel, Indianapolis, Indiana Others who have gone before Hold up my trembling hand. They T comfort me in the blind despair I cannot understand. They suͿer with me when I hurt, Weep with me in my pain, Remind me that we are not lost ... Though I must now remain. Those who’ve gone before me, Hear me when I cry. Sing softly with me soothing chords Of unsung lullabies. Mourn anniversaries never marked, A future I cannot keep. They gently kiss the pain away, And love my heart to sleep. The ones who’ve gone before me Hold me in my dreams. They gently stroke my furrowed brow, And calm my silent screams. They love me in my heartache, Wait quietly nearby., Hold patiently, one to another Till I join them by and by.

CANADA PREPPING FOR CANADA POTENTIAL PREPPING EBOLAFOR CASES POTEN HELEN BRANSWELL

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Canada is considering placing doses of an experimental Ebola vaccine in hospitals around the country that have been designated to treat Ebola cases if any arrive in the country, the new chief public health officer said yesterday (Oct. 1). Dr. Gregory Taylor said having vaccine at the ready means it could be used if health-care workers treating Ebola patients had risky exposures. “We’re considering prepositioning some of that at receiving hospitals across the country who may be looking after Ebola patients. “This is for the health-care workers,’’ Taylor said during a news conference in Banff, Alta., where the federal, provincial and territorial health ministers met. Taylor said that includes the Ontario hospital that has been designated to care for Canadian responders if any become infected in the Ebola zone and are transferred back to Canada for care. He did not mention the hospital by name, but it is Toronto Western.

To date, that need has not arisen. The vaccine, created by researchers at Canada’s National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg, is still experimental. But, in animal testing, it has been shown to both protect primates from contracting Ebola if it is given before they are exposed to the virus and prevent death, if exposed animals receive it quickly after exposure. Taylor and Federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose met with the media yesterday to address concerns raised by Tuesday’s announcement that a Dallas hospital had diagnosed Ebola in a man who recently travelled to Texas from Liberia, one of the hardest hit countries in the West African outbreak. Ambrose insisted Canada’s risk from the virus is low. “We have strong measures in place to protect Canadians,’’ she said, noting the Canadian Border Services Agency has stepped up screening of passengers entering Canada from affected countries. In reality, that offers imperfect protection. Ebola has a long incubation period — the time from exposure to when an infected individual

Afghan soldiers fear death if returned Afghan soldiers fear death if returned CAROLYN THOMPSON

THE CANADIAN PRESS

BATAVIA, N.Y. — Three Afghan military officers who sought refuge in Canada after taking off from a military training exercise in Massachusetts said they were trying to escape Taliban violence at home, but now face the wrath of their own government. “Now that we’ve decided to seek asylum, the danger has multiplied,’’ said Maj. Jan Mohammad Arash, who, along with Capt. Noorullah Aminyar and Capt. Mohammed Nasir Askarzada, travelled more than 800 kilometres by taxi from a Wal-Mart in Hyannis, Mass., to Niagara Falls. The three walked across the Rainbow Bridge connecting New York to Ontario to claim refugee status on Sept. 22 and were turned over to U.S. authorities, who charged them with immigration violations and began removal proceedings. “Our pictures are in the newspapers in Afghanistan, Pakistan and all around the world. Now our government has turned against us,’’ Arash, 49, said inside the federal detention facility outside Buffalo, where they are being held. All said they feared they would be killed or imprisoned and tortured if returned to Afghanistan. In interviews with the

Associated Press, the three described feeling elated as they took their $1,600 cab ride toward the U.S.-Canadian border, never expecting they would be turned away and handed over to the United States under a U.S.Canada agreement that requires asylum seekers to apply in the first country in which they land. “I felt like I was reborn again and I had become free and alive,’’ Askarzada, 28, said of the trip through Massachusetts and into New York. He and Arash answered questions in Farsi, which was translated by their attorney, Matthew Borowski. Aminyar spoke in English. Askarzada said he has an uncle in Canada and that the three planned to seek him out for help in eventually bringing their families there as well. All are married and have children. Askarzada said his wife is pregnant. Aminyar said he had been targeted by the Taliban in his village of Khowgni because of his work with U.S. soldiers in killing and capturing Taliban fighters. A platoon leader and company commander, the 30-year-old said he was marked for death after taking part in military training in the United States in 2012 and again in September.

CUTTING A RUG, RAISING FUNDS

FIRS- EVER DANCING LIKE THE STARS TO SUPPORT BREAST HEALTH AND ROYAL INLAND HOSPITAL DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Al Gozda and Tiffany Hornbeck perfect their dance at the Colombo Lodge before the first Dancing Like the Stars fundraiser in Kamloops. DAVE EAGLES/KTW

eidi Coleman knew she had hit on the ideal fundraiser when she saw Anthony Salituro’s eyes light up. The executive director of the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation went to one of the two Kamloopsians behind 16 years of Pink Ribbon Balls with her idea on how to fill the void created when Salituro decided to end the annual gala soiree. Salituro also agreed right away to take part in what became the foundation’s Dancing Like the Stars fundraiser that will take over Colombo Lodge — home to the balls for all but the last year, on Oct. 18. Coleman said the event, which will include dinner — and six pairs of local residents strutting their stuff as they compete for a trophy — is a natural follow to the ball because it gives people an opportunity again to take out the formal wear and come together to raise money that will go to health care in the community. While the balls raised money for breast-cancer research — a tribute Salituro created for his aunt, Josephine Bruno, when she was treated for the disease — this year’s gala is earmarked for women’s breast health. Ideally, Coleman said, she’s hoping this event continues and generates enough money to create a unique, almost one-stop clinic that would provide care from mammogram to biopsy in an expedited way. For now, it will go toward improvements in breast-health care at Royal Inland Hospital that will improve on the services now provided. See NIGHT, page B2

backstage video, bloopers are really into it and it’s becoming competitive. “The instructors have become really territorial over their dancers,” she said. She expects it all to be revealed when the competition begins. Lawyer Cheryl Martin was also asked by a foundation-committee member to take part and, with a background in amateur dance and a love of it for stress release, she agreed right away. Martin was partnered with restaurateur Dino Bernardo, who

said he’s not a dancer. “I thought I was but, once I started learning this, I realized I’m not,” Bernardo said. He said it’s been a lot of hard work and, once they reach a new stage in what Martin said is a compilation dance set to several parts of songs, “it just gets harder.” Coleman and her committee are setting up the evening as close as possible to the Dancing With the Stars television show, with emcees, some commercials, a video

of rehearsal bloopers, backstage videos after dancers complete their performances and a panel of judges. There’s no doubt it will be repeated again next year. “It’s already taken off,” Coleman said. “We’ve already got some people who want to dance next year.” Martin would be on that list. “I would do it all over again. It’s just great. It’s been fun and gruelling but it’s been great,” she said. For Bernardo,

though, this is likely a one-time shot at dancing fame in the city. “No,” he said when asked if he’s up for another twirl around the dance floor. “I’m doing this to help the foundation because I’m like everyone. We all have family who have to go to the hospital and friends who use the hospital. “I would love to do something else for the foundation, but not dance.” Tickets are $200 and are available by calling 250-314-2325.

CATCH ALL THE SAVINGS THE OLD TIME FIDDLERS HAVE BEEN MAKING MUSIC SINCE 1982, AND IT’S NOT ALL FIDDLING AROUND. THE GROUP INCLUDES GUITARS, BASS GUITARS, A MANDOLIN, PIANO AND — OF COURSE — FIDDLES. and a piano player. In past years, there has also been a clarinetist. Almost any musician can take part, Hiles said. Their music is also varied — it’s not just square dances, bluegrass or country, Hiles said; they’re just as likely to play a waltz, a polka or a foxtrot, anything that will get people up on the floor dancing. And, the group spans all ages in its membership, from a teen to seniors. One of the goals of the group this year is to share its love of music in ways other than

the monthly dances at Heritage House and at the North Shore Community Centre. While Heritage House events on the first Saturday of the month are strictly dances with a social afterward, the North Shore events on the third Tuesday of the month combine music with a half-hour of dance instruction. Hiles said the group is hoping to also start offering workshops to teach tunes to other musicians. While it’s his job to find the music the group will play, Hiles is also working on an

update to what the group calls “the red book,” a publication in 1990 of all the members at that time. He’s working on the 2014 version. “I had heard of the group,” Hiles said of his introduction to it. “But, back then, I was busy working. They contacted me after I was done work and, since I didn’t have any other work to do, they’ve given me lots.” Word of the fiddlers and the fun they bring to their events has spread beyond Kamloops — and even Canada. Hiles said last year, a University of

Manchester professor came to a dance. “This year, there was a guy from Wales who came. Someone told him if he was ever in Kamloops, to drop in.” Saturday dances start this week and continue through April at Heritage House, 100 Lorne St., from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. North Shore events start on Oct. 21 at the North Shore Community Centre, 730 Cottonwood Ave. They run from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. Anyone interested in joining can call Hiles at 250-376-6209 or email him at lhiles@ telus.net. Davis can be contacted at 250-3193680. The general number for information is 250376-2330.

THREE VALLEY GHOST TOWN CLOSES GAP ON ERAS TERESA CLINE SPECIAL TO KTW teresathetraveler.com

e’ve all driven past it on our way to Calgary and thought, “That looks like an interesting place to stop.” But, how many of us have actually put on the brakes and pulled over to discover the historical wonders of Three Valley Gap? Located on the Trans-Canada Highway just 19 kilometres west of Revelstoke, Three Valley Lake Chateau Ltd. and Three Valley Gap Heritage Ghost Town are nestled in the spectacular Eagle Pass on the sparkling waters of the Lake of Three Valleys, surrounded by the mighty Monashee Mountains. In 1956, Gordon and Ethel Bell purchased the property, which, at the time was swampland, in order to capitalize on the construction of a portion of the Trans-Canada highway (from 1956 to 1962), which cut through Roger’s Pass. This route was a shortcut across the big bend of the Columbia River from Revelstoke to Donald, which was discovered on May 29, 1881, by Maj. Albert Bowman Rogers, a surveyor working for the Canadian Pacific Railway. It was the Bells’ dream to create a motel and museum to cater to motorists along the new highway. What started as a seven-seat restaurant and seven-unit

hotel and tiny museum has now grown into a destination resort with more than 200 rooms, a cafeteria, a heated indoor pool and whirlpool, meeting and banquet facilities and a ghost town that houses the couple’s large collection of antiques. The resort is a family affair still being managed by descendents of Gordon and Ethel. The town consists of more than 25 historic buildings — some original buildings moved from their locations and brought to the town; other replicas of actual historic buildings constructed onsite. Some of the buildings include: Wagon and buggy shop, Monashee Mining Co., Antique auto museum, railway roundhouse, St. Stephen’s Church, Hotel Bellevue, Golden Wheel Saloon, Craigellachie School House, watchmaker & jewellery store, blacksmith shop, bottle house, Trapper Joe’s Cabin, C.B. Hume & Co., Barbershop, general merchants, Colarch’s Tobacco Shop, jail & sheriff’s office, Frank’s Furniture Repair Shop and a shoe repair shop. The crowning glory of Three Valley Gap is the Railway Roundhouse. This more-recent addition to the ghost town has the distinction of being the largest fully operational covered roundhouse in North America. With 24 bays, a back shop, pattern shop and a railway

coach repair and carpentry shop, visitors stepping into this building are transported back in time to the glorious era of steam locomotion. Steam locomotives were first developed in Great Britain during the early 19th century and dominated railway transport until the middle of the 20th century, when they were superseded by electric and diesel locomotives. Steam locomotives could only travel in one direction, so they needed a way to turn around. To do that, they built circular roundtables and enclosed them in a building called a roundhouse. The roundhouses were also where the day-today maintenance of steam locomotives would take place. This included regular greasing and oiling, cleaning of the alkali from the boiler tubes and cleaning the flues. By the end of the era of steam in the 1950s, there were more than 10,000 roundhouses in North America. Today, fewer than 100 remain. HOW TO GET THERE — Three Valley Lake Chateau Ltd. and Three Valley Gap Heritage Ghost Town are located on the Trans Canada Highway, 19 kilometres west of Revelstoke. The resort is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. until Oct. 13, when it closes for the winter, so you have 10 days to visit this year. For more information, go online to 3valley.com or call 1-888-667-2109.

GENESIS: CHAPTER 2015 HYUNDAI’S NEW SEDAN IS EDGY, LUXURIOUS — AND ATHLETIC, TOO

ROB BEINTEMA

METROLAND MEDIA

was still trying to take in all that the Hyundai Genesis was — the sights, the sounds, the smells and the sensations. There was the edgy contrast of quiet luxury and lithe athleticism. The upscale ambiance occasionally rocked by the muted background roar of real power. The Audi looming large in my rear view mirror was also distracting me. I don’t think there was any aggressive intent to his hanging off my back bumper. It was probably just curiosity about what I was driving. Or maybe just impatience and the overly eager anticipation of the highway speeds about to come. But, I knew it wouldn’t be a problem for long. I was turning onto one of my favourite on-ramps, a sinuous S-curved combination of twists and bends. Short but sweet, a respite from the regular grid-patterned road monotony. I mashed the go-pedal hard enough to make the big V8 sing. There was that launching thrill of acceleration, the secure bite of all-wheel drive, g-forces shifting from side to side as the car squirted past the first bend to the left, rocked back to the right, scurried past the second apex and danced through the lovely decreasing radius dimensions of the final curve before spitting out onto the freeway. By the end of the ramp, I was well beyond highway speed, the eight-speed tranny catching up to the engine, the initial rush settling down, calm returning, but with the power still quietly humming in the

background, giving you the feeling that the car wanted to carry on at silent speeds still quick enough for confiscation. I backed off the throttle, easing down to the 100-110 km/h quasi-legal limit. The Audi that had diminished and all but disappeared from my mirror finally caught up and stormed past in a huff, the passenger craning his neck to look back with a what-the-heckwas-that look on his face. It’s easy enough to understand the confusion, what with the mixed signals of the Hyundai brand logo out back, the muscular flanks, the premium design cues, the sleek sportsedan profile and a winged Genesis badge up front that looks like some kind of Bentley-styled knockoff. But, yes, this is the all-new the all-new 2015 Genesis sedan that debuted earlier this year at the Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto. This second-generation version builds on a platform more rigid than a BMW 5 Series chassis and combines new, bolder styling, improved driving dynamics, tweaked engine power, a new standard all-wheel drive system and a long list of cutting-edge technologies. The Genesis sedan has been slotted between the sporty Genesis Coupe and the full-size passengeroriented Equus flagship, offering a combined mix of qualities and powertrain choices from both ends of that spectrum. The Genesis sedan comes in three initial 3.8-litre V6 flavours with increasing content levels that bump up the trim level ladder in $5,000 price increments — the 3.8 Premium ($43,000), 3.8 Luxury ($48,000) and 3.8 Technology ($53,000).

The new-for-2015 Hyundai Genesis, a five-passenger premium sport sedan, is seen here in top-of-the-line 5.0 Ultimate trim, boasting a Hyundai’s 5.0-litre Tau V8 engine in a car featuring bolder styling, new dynamic driving abilities and a full suite of cutting-edge technologies.

But, as tested here, the 2015 Hyundai Genesis 5.0 Ultimate ($62,000) tops out the lineup list with muscular V8 power and a full suite of added luxuries and techno goodies. Probably only one in five customers will opt for the V8 version but, promising top-line power, Hyundai’s 5.0-litre Tau GDI V8 has been tweaked slightly for 2015, trading off a bit of top end horsepower for increased torque oomph across the rev range, now harnessing 420 hp and 383 lb/ft. That engine power is translated seamlessly via Hyundai’s eight-speed automatic transmission or with the Shiftronic manual mode paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel. All 2015 Genesis sedans sold in Canada come standard with Hyundai’s new HTRAC, an active allwheel drive (AWD) system that was developed and validated on Germany’s famed Nürburgring and the Yeongam Formula 1 racing

circuit in Korea. The HTRAC system varies power distribution through a variable torque split clutch with ratios determined by four mode choices — Normal, Eco, Snow or Sport — or according to traction conditions. Dynamic technologies that complement the Genesis’s handling and control systems include Electric Power Steering (EPAS) and a Continuous Damping Control system (CDC) that automatically adjusts suspension damping according to road conditions and selected drive mode. A long list of other standard and available technologies include Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Blind Spot Detection (BSD), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), a Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) along with three new Hyundai features — Lane Change Assist (LCA), a Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) and Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) that uses a forward camera and sensors

to warn drivers of dangers, even providing full braking assistance. And all this is wrapped up in the latest version of Fluidic Sculpture 2.0 exterior styling with an interior package that features comfortable seating courtesy of 12-way front power seats using six different densities of foam to optimize support. Double stitching, quality textures and soft tactile finishes complement available Napa leather and natural open-pore wood trim pieces. Interior touches include a suede headliner, fullcolour head-up display (HUD), a 9.2-inch high-definition navigation display, and an upgraded 900-watt 17-speaker Lexicon surround-sound audio system. And thoughtful additions include an industry-first CO2 sensor control system located under the glove box that monitors CO2 levels and adds fresh air as needed to keep occupants comfortable and alert.

And, if you wind up standing behind your car with grocery bags in hand, Hyundai’s new Smart Trunk feature automatically opens the trunk when the smart key is detected near the rear bumper for more than three seconds. You know, when you browse Hyundai’s website and select the model comparison feature on Hyundai’s website, you see the nature of Hyundai’s competition in this segment - the Audi A6, BMW 550i xDrive and Mercedes E550 4MATIC, to name just a few and all pretty heady competition. They might not be left in the dust like my one Audi buddy during this driving test, but the European premium sport sedans are no longer beyond the reach of a Genesis name that, in this case, symbolizes more than just a new beginning. Rather, it marks a new and higher waypoint on the steady climb of Hyundai’s brand recognition and quality.

FAITH

Look around — each of us is a unique miracle

o you know about the miracle of the empty chair? Look at one and ask yourself the question: “Why isn’t he or she here, but I am? Why me?” Each of us is a unique miracle. We are not accidents. Each of us has been put here for a reason. We are important. Who we are and what we do has significance. Who and how you are forming yourself and what you are doing with your life is crucial to the unfolding of this world — and, indeed, of the entire cosmos. You are not operating in a vacuum. And you are not alone. So, why are you here?

BRIAN PUIDA MITCHELL

You Gotta Have

FAITH

You are here to reflect back to God the glory that is God. You are here to come to know God and, through your knowing, to effect God’s selfrealization and God’s self-knowing. This is the very highest of callings. Unfortunately, we tend to devalue our beings. As I’ve mentioned so many times in my columns, we tend to believe the entirety of who we are is our per-

sonality — those characteristics, opinions, likes and dislikes that make up our smaller self. But, we have a larger self lying at the core of our being. It is sitting there waiting for us to wake up to its magnificence so it can partake fully in this glorious gift of life. Why would anyone choose to limit their life to acting out their little life dramas? Why settle for being caught up in the pushing and prompting that life brings us on a daily basis? Why not move beyond the craziness of the emotional ups and downs that, for most of us, make up our lives? Why not take up the challenge you’ve been given of participating consciously and actively in the unfolding of God’s universe? So, how can you become this extraordi-

nary creature you are here to become? The process is simple: Undertake a daily practice of meditation/ contemplation. In the silence, you will be moved beyond your ego and into your Essential Self, your True-Self-in-God. And you don’t have to “do” anything other than show up. This God of ours does it all. You will be led where you are meant to go. But, you have to get out of your own way. “The devout Christian of the future will either be a mystic or will cease to be anything at all.” Those are the words of one of the great theologians of the 20th century — Karl Rahner. What does it mean to be a “mystic”? It means to accept the profound calling

you’ve been given by becoming consciously aware of the existence of a Presence beyond your own personality moving towards, in and through you — the Presence that we’ve come to refer to as “God.” You encounter that

Presence in the silence and the stillness of meditation. (My recommendation is the practice of Centering Prayer.) Our society tells us we need to be in control — that only through exerting our individual selves can

we get what we want. But, we are made for so much more. Rather than “going and getting,” what we have to learn to do is to surrender. Once you have begun a daily practice of self-emptying (just like Jesus), the Holy One will take away your obsessions and concerns and show you the wonder that you are. But, the only way to have your life is to give it up — to let it go. Yeshua says: “Whoever tries to hang on to life will forfeit it, but whoever forfeits life will preserve it.” If it’s all about “you,” you’re in trouble.

As the new school year begins, 360 Kamloops students are receiving a backpack full of the supplies thanks to the Telus Community Ambassadors. The program sees Telus Community Ambassadors across Canada spend thousands of volunteer hours stuffing backpacks with essential school supplies for families who might need help getting their kids what they need for school. “We all remember September as an exciting month when we were young — getting ready to see your friends and start a new grade,” said Pat Bauer, president of the Kamloops Telus Ambassadors.

“I can only imagine how challenging it is for kids and their families who don’t have the means to purchase all of the tools required in the classroom these days. “Every student deserves the opportunity to succeed, learn and grow, and we’re proud to support our future generations by setting them up for success.” Since 2007, Telus Community Ambassadors have assembled more than 78,750 backpacks across Canada. This year, Ambassadors from coast to coast are handing out 10,500 backpacks, including 5,840 in British Columbia.

You can help Kamloops projects as they vie for Aviva cash Two Kamloops projects are taking part in the annual Aviva Community Fund competition The Centre for Seniors Information is seeking funding in the $50,000 to $100,000 level from the insurance company’s challenge, money it would use to create a larger-scale community kitchen. The centre in Brocklehurst envisions a program that will offer a food subsidy to those on low fixed incomes and create a location where people can share and learn skills, food preparation and security and even basic interpersonal skills. The program could also provide a place for people

to go who otherwise would spend their days in isolation. The Interior CarShare Co-operative is campaigning in the less than $50,000 category with its project to create a 24-hour fleet of vehicles people can rent on a short-term basis — going to the grocery store, visiting friends or other quick jaunts. The vehicles would be owned by co-operative members, who would share them to help keep transportation costs low but to do their part to improve the environment by reducing carbon-dioxide emissions.
