Accused says death was accidental TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops man charged with second-degree murder in the 2003 death of his girlfriend admits he killed her, but says it was an accident. “I didn’t want anybody to die,” said Robert Balbar, taking the stand in his own defence in the third week of his murder trial in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops. “The last thing I wanted was for anybody to die. I was just in a panic.” The body of 31-yearold Heather Hamill was found floating in the North Thompson River on Aug. 1, 2003. She had been bludgeoned to death with a blunt object. In court on Monday, Nov. 24, Balbar, 42, admitted to killing Hamill during a drug-fuelled confrontation in late July 2003. HEATHER HAMILL: He said an intoxicated Was slain in the Hamill showed up at his summer of 2003. apartment and pushed her way in. Balbar said he was having a quiet night because his nine-year-old son was sleeping over. Balbar said Hamill was pacing around his apartment, taking swigs from a brown methadone bottle, when she eventually started throwing items around the suite. “The more I tried to calm her down, the more violent she got,” he said. “She was pretty much just full out trying to hit me with whatever she could find to hit me with.” See BALBAR, A6

THREEYEAR EXTENSION FOR CAR 40 TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
Car 40 will remain on the streets of the Tournament Capital for at least three more years. After being launched last year as a new way for police to deal with people afflicted with mental-health issues, the joint partnership between the Interior Health Authority and the Kamloops RCMP has been renewed. “This partnership is all about working together to provide the best health care possible for those individuals in our com-
munity who struggle with mental-health and/or substance-use problems,” Health Minister and Kamloops-North Thompson Liberal MLA Terry Lake said. The Car 40 program sees a psychiatric nurse teamed up with an RCMP officer to attend calls from people with mental-health problems. “There are many benefits of working together,” Kamloops RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller. “Over time, this team has developed relationships with a diverse group of clients and has successfully diffused situations that, in previous years, would have involved
significant police resources and a client spending time in a jail cell or an emergency room. “Instead, individuals in crisis are given a roadside triage and assessment with a wide range of ways to resolve the situation.” According to the Interior Health Authority, Car 40 has responded to more than 600 calls. Six per cent of those calls resulted in a referral to Royal Inland Hospital. In September, a second Car 40 unit was added to the program. The partnership has been extended to April 2018.

Yet another boondoggle on Battle ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Developers of a proposed 18-unit apartment building at 801 and 807 Battle St. in downtown Kamloops will have to make the case for their project to a new city council after a mailing error has again disrupted the public-hearing process for the project. The sitting council, which will be replaced in December, already gave D&T Developments approval for the building at a public hearing on Nov. 4. However, after the hearing, city staff discovered not all residents within 100 metres of the project had received written notice of the meeting within the proper time frame, leaving the city open to a possible
legal challenge. A new hearing was scheduled to take place today (Nov. 25), following the last meeting of the current city council. It has now been postponed after staff discovered mail-outs about the new hearing once again failed to reach all affected residents. The Nov. 4 hearing was already the developer’s second for the project. Council initially turned down D&T’s application earlier this fall, due to appearance and parking concerns. While an 18-unit building would typically require about 24 parking spaces, developers had asked for permission to add only 18 spaces. D&T appealed the decision and made changes to the overall look of
the building, but continued to ask for a parking variance, pledging to only accept tenants with no more than one vehicle and offer prepaid bus passes. The redesigned building wasn’t popular with neighbours, who filled council chambers to voice concerns about the project’s parking setup. D&T was, however, able to find support from four of six councillors who voted on the issue. Of those who voted in favour of the project, one councillor — Nelly Dever — was not re-elected on Nov. 15. Tina Lange and Ken Christian, who were opposed to the project at the last public hearing, were reelected. A date for the new hearing has not yet been set.
BC Corrections has issued a public notification regarding a highrisk sexual offender who was released from custody in Kamloops yesterday (Nov. 24), with plans to live in Cranbrook. Jason Beaudry is 37, stands five-foot-11 and weighs 180 pounds. He is aboriginal and has black hair and hazel eyes. BC Corrections said Beaudry has “a lengthy and varied criminal history of offending in an opportunistic manner against males, females, strangers and acquaintances that include violent and sexual offences and weapon use.” Beaudry is subject to close monitoring by authorities and 13 court-ordered conditions, including: • He cannot possess, own or carry any weapons; • He cannot attend any establishment where the primary commodity for sale is alcohol; • He must abstain completely from possession, purchase or consumption of any alcohol or drugs; • He cannot be outside his residence between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.

Columbia Street conversation Residents can get a look at the city’s plans for an upgraded Columbia Street tomorrow (Nov. 26) at an open house at First Baptist Church, 545 Columbia St., from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The city plans to spend $3.8 million repaving and reconfiguring the roadway. Upgrades include new lefthand turning lanes at Fourth, Fifth and Sixth avenues and a dual-turning lane at Third Avenue, as well as a raised centre median between Third and Sixth avenues.
A new centre median will be installed at the Second Avenue and Columbia Street intersection, restricting the avenue to right-in, right-out turns. The intersection closure received mixed reviews from residents when the city floated the proposal at an earlier public house, with some residents concerned it would cut off access to the West End, resulting in longer car trips and increased traffic on Third Avenue. The city proposed closing the roadway to left-hand turns

Also included in the city’s plans for Columbia are a new bus pullout in front of Royal Inland Hospital, countdown timers at pedestrian crosswalks and improved street lighting. The city hopes to tender the project in spring of 2015, with work scheduled to start in the summer.

A crisis-response team — a first for the Interior — will be created to provide support for people with mental-heath and substance-use issues. The assertive community treatment (ACT) teams will work in Kamloops, Kelowna and the Cariboo-Chilcotin, Health Minister Terry Lake said. The $4 million allocated to the program will be shared between the Interior Health Authority and the Ministry of Health. The teams will be made up of professionals in the mental-health and substance-use fields from various professional backgrounds. They will work together to provide treatment, rehabilitation and support. The teams will be staffed round-the-clock daily.
“We know that many individuals with serious and complex mental-health and substance-use illnesses use our emergency departments,” said Dave Harrhy, mental health and substance use network director. “One of the goals of these teams is to support clients to the point that they are better managing their symptoms and health in the community and are less likely to need to visit the emergency department.” The Interior Health Authority is in the process of hiring staff for the ACT and crisis-response teams and hopes to see them in place by February, with clinical programs starting in the late spring and early summer.

Fine, driving ban following drunken truck crash TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A farmer who was nearly three times over the legal blood-alcohol limit when his commercial truck crashed through a Kamloops highway exit in 2012 has avoided jail. Joseph Heemskerk was convicted of impaired driving following a trial earlier this year.
On Oct. 1, 2012, the 55-year-old was driving a dump truck towing a trailer when he crashed through the Kootenay Way exit on the TransCanada Highway, totalling the vehicle. Testing later showed his blood-alcohol level to be nearly three times the legal limit of 0.08, court heard. Crown prosecutor Frank Caputo wanted Heemskerk jailed for
nine to 15 days, in addition to a stiff fine and a lengthy driving ban. “This was, essentially, a five-ton missile going down the highway,� he said. “And, this isn’t a slight degree of impairment. At this level, it’s my submission that a strong message needs to be sent. “Given that this was a commercial vehicle, the damage that was
done and the potential for damage, this requires something to be done.� Court heard Heemskerk operates a family farm and routinely travels to Kamloops to pick up supplies. Defence lawyer Kevin Walker said his client has already paid stiff penalties, including a three-month administrative driv-
ing prohibition last year imposed by B.C.’s Superintendent of Motor Vehicles. “His vehicle was totalled,� he said. “There are civil repercussions. There are personal impacts on his business. There’s severe losses.� Kamloops provincial court Judge Len Marchand said he wasn’t convinced jail is the answer.
“The readings were well over double and almost triple the legal limit,� he said. “It’s unfortunate you had a serious accident, but it’s lucky no third
party was seriously injured.� Marchand ordered Heemskerk to pay $2,300 in fines and banned him from driving for one year.
Thank You
“A sincere thank you to all those who voted for and supported me in my campaign. Best of luck to the new council.�

Two arrested, tied to home invasion

YORK AVENUE HOME ON NORTH SHORE WAS TARGETED IN MARCH TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops man who was arrested in May in what police called a gangrelated drug bust was back behind bars over the weekend, facing charges stemming from an alleged home invasion in March. Jason Robertson has been on bail since May, when he was released on a $100,000 surety following a highly publicized arrest and the subsequent seizure of cash, weapons, drugs and gang paraphernalia. His new charges pre-date the drug bust in May. Robertson and another man, Steve Insua, are facing three counts each of unlawful confinement and single counts of break-and-enter stemming from an alleged home invasion on March 16. Both men were arrested and charged on Wednesday, Nov. 19. According to the Crown, four suspects entered a York Avenue home in
North Kamloops at about 4 p.m. and demanded a missing quantity of drugs worth a purported $60,000. Prosecutor Adrienne Murphy said a former tenant of the home — living in a basement suite — is believed to have been a drug dealer. Investigators believe he moved out after a significant quantity of drugs went missing. Murphy said the upstairs residents, who were victims of the alleged home invasion, were a single mother, two teenaged boys and their grandmother. Court heard one of the sons was assaulted a number of times during the 45-minute home invasion. “Mr. Robertson has a known nickname he’s called, Fat JR,� Murphy said, explaining that one witness described Robertson as “fat and chunky.� “The witnesses related that the name ‘Fat’ something was used. “One of them was that he had a face that was somewhat like a singer on the Barenaked Ladies, and there was once a singer with the Barenaked Ladies who had a fat face like that.�
Murphy said one of the victims called police in May after seeing Robertson’s face in the news following his arrest and subsequent release. Defence lawyer Jeremy Jensen said police and the Crown are using the new charges as another attempt to have Robertson, who has a dated and minor criminal record, locked up. He said the Crown knew about the alleged home invasion in May, when Robertson was arrested initially, but kept it out of the evidence put forward at the previous bail hearing. “They had that in their possession,� Jensen said. “They did not present that to the court. They’re using this as a second kick at the can.� Murphy said investigators took a long time to establish identity of the accused, and that’s why the charges came just this week. Robertson still faces outstanding weapons, drug and property charges stemming from his arrest in May.

Balbar claims he attacked in self-defence From A1
sure she didn’t hit him on her way out.� Balbar said his son was still sleeping. When he went out to the living room to check on Hamill, he said, she was dead. “I checked to see if she was breathing, I checked to see if she had a heartbeat — and, no, she didn’t,� he said through tears. “I thought she was going to kill me. I’d never been in that situation before in my life. I was just in a panic trying to stop her. I was freaked out trying to make sure my son was OK.� Balbar said he didn’t call police, instead hiding Hamill’s body in a cooler so his son wouldn’t have to see it. “Then I just sat beside the bed with my son and waited until morning,� he said. Balbar wasn’t arrested until more than four years after Hamill’s death, at the conclusion of a three-month RCMP Mr. Big undercover operation in December 2007. Court has previously heard Balbar was lured into a fictitious criminal organization — actually comprised entirely of undercover RCMP officers — with promises of money and sex. The elaborate undercover investigation culminated in Balbar’s confession to the supposed leader of the fake gang. Defence lawyer Jim Blazina is expected to call an additional witness, a psychologist who is expected to give evidence about Balbar’s mental capacity. That witness is not available until next week. The trial, before a judge and jury, will likely conclude next week. This is Balbar’s second murder trial. The outcome of a previous trial was appealed and last year he was ordered to stand trial again.
Balbar said Hamill eventually picked up a hunting knife and chased him around the apartment. He said he wrestled it away from her and hid it in a kitchen cupboard, out of her reach. When he left the kitchen, Balbar said, he noticed the door to his son’s bedroom was open. He said Hamill had gone into the room. “Soon as I walked in, I seen she had a machete,� Balbar said. “I immediately froze and put my hands up so she could see I had nothing with me. “She had the thing pointed towards my son’s head and she was poking it at him while she was looking at me. I just wanted her to calm down at that time.� Balbar said he then left the bedroom to grab a mechanic’s hammer from the living room. He said Hamill followed him out of the room. “I can’t even explain it,� he said. “I’d never had my son in that kind of predicament.� Balbar said Hamill started swinging the machete at him as soon as he picked up the hammer. “She was trying to take my head off with it,� he said. “I was doing my best to not get hit by the machete.� Balbar said Hamill eventually tripped while chasing him around a living-room table. That, Balbar said, is when he went on the offensive. “When I had the opportunity, I just flailed the hammer as hard as I could and tried to knock her out,� he said. “I hit her a few times. She fell onto my legs and I hit her two more times with the hammer, then I went into the bedroom to check on my son, to make

Interior insect-spray program unlikely next year CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
For the first time in nearly two decades, the province is unlikely to mount an insect-spray program next year to protect forests in the Thompson region and other parts of the Southern Interior. The lack of a spray program is not due to budget cuts, but due to what an entomologist with the Ministry of Forests and Natural Resource Development called “a lull� in what otherwise has been a regular annual spray
program aimed at pests including spruce budworm and tussock moth. The Ministry of Forests and Natural Resource Development has completed fall sampling and aerial surveying for insects and evidence of damage. “It’s kind of a lull year,� said Lorraine Maclauchlan, an entomologist with the ministry based in Kamloops. “There’s bark beetles and defoliators, but it’s reminiscent of 1995 and ‘96.� One year later, in
1997, marked the first year of a mountain pine-beetle explosion that killed an estimated 90 per cent of mature pine in the Thompson valley. But, unlike 15 years ago, there is no looming crisis following this lull. “Tussock moth and budworm has declined to a level where I don’t think we’ll have a spray program next year,� Maclauchlan said. That would mark the first year since 1995 with no aerial spray program in the region. Prior to that,
Maclauchlan said, spraying was done annually dating back to the late 1980s. Spraying of Btk, a naturally occurring organism, to combat defoliators is intended to reduce economic damage to the province’s public timber resources. The pests can kill juvenile trees and stunt growth of mature trees. The insects are a natural part of B.C.’s environment and populations rise and fall in cycles. While mountain pine beetle won’t
make a return to the Kamloops area for at least a decade due to
the lack of host trees, Maclauchlan said it is still having an impact

Ajax info meetings today, tomorrow The federal and provincial environmental-assessment offices have added a series of workshops to the agenda next week as they accept submissions on revised studies for the proposed Ajax mine. The public-comment period on the revised applicationinformation requirements — the so-called table of contents for studies on Ajax and its impact on health, economy and the environment — began on Nov. 18 and continues until Dec. 18.
As part of that comment period, the federal and provincial governments, through their respective offices, are hosting information sessions today (Nov. 25) and tomorrow from 2 p.m to 8 p.m., at the Kamloops Coast Hotel and Conference Centre, 1250 Rogers Way in Aberdeen. The comment period and meetings come after public pressure for more input, including from city council, based on KGHM-Ajax’s revised mine plan,
revealed earlier this year. As part of the comment period, the offices are hosting public workshops entitled Environment Assessment 101 on the same days as the information sessions. The hour-long events are scheduled for 3 p.m., 4:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. on each day. The workshops are intended to outline the environmentalassessment process, including public participation and what happens after the assessment.

AFTER THE VOTE, WE MOVE AHEAD Now that the final votes have been announced, it’s time for municipalities and rural areas to get back to business. The 2014 civic election has come and gone and communities can finally put all the campaign drama behind them. Councils and other elected bodies can set their sights on doing what they where elected to do — run their respective areas and serve their citizens. That’s a concept often lost on new politicians. The people voted them into office so they can best serve the needs of the community, a feat that isn’t always easy. Despite the best intentions of many new politicians, changing the world — or at least their tiny part of it — doesn’t happen overnight. All of those promises of change and improvement will take time. There is a political process that has to be followed and it’s time for the newcomers to go to school. For those newbies, there will be a steep learning curve in the coming months. Hopefully, more experienced, returning politicians will share their experiences to allow newcomers to more quickly acclimatize themselves to their new responsibilities and the process, rules and regulations that have to be followed. The political realm is a slow-moving machine and, once the hype of an election dies down, the process will begin to plod along. Still, the arrival of new blood always brings new hope. Candidates-turned-politicians have the opportunity to change the system, one slow bit at a time. Let’s hope they succeed in reinvigorating the process as they adjust to their new roles. As for the public that voted in the new governments, their job isn’t over yet either. Voting was just the first step — now it’s their job to keep informed, keep watching and hold their politicians accountable.

Tackling the online trolls
“
Newspaper sites get huge numbers of people passing by, though the number who comment is tiny (typically far less than one per cent of those who view an article). But, a significant number of those commenters are persistent — and this is where the ‘bad’ can drive out the ‘good.’ There are determined people who just want to leave comments and view the space below the line as ‘their’ territory. They aren’t interested in adding quality or bringing new information to the discussion. They just want to dominate.” — from an essay by Charles Arthur, How Gresham’s Law Explains Why News Sites Are Turning Off Comments, which can be found online at theoverspill.wordpress.com. Arthur writes about the persistent problem found on websites of newspapers and other media, on which comments posted at the bottom of an article too often do less to challenge fellow minds and more to incite with verbal garbage. Too often the comments section on newspaper websites are, as Arthur notes in his essay, dominated by trolls whose goal is not to further the debate, but to attack, insult and bully — almost always via a pseudonym. The job of an online moderator — which falls generally to me here at KTW — has become busier as many comments, if not simply trashed due to blatant crassness, at least require editing to get the point across while excising the all-too-common
CHRISTOPHER FOULDS
Newsroom
MUSINGS insults directed at another commenter. My eternal respect goes to such KTW online readers as Ron Watt, Lawrence Beaton, Ray Nyuli, John Noakes and Kim Young for having the courage to post comments under their real names. Regardless of what one thinks of the comments posted, at least the above-named quartet (and a few others) have the spine to stand behind their arguments with their given names. Not so other commenters, which include cowardly trolls who spend far too much time on the KTW website rebutting all manner of commenters with about as much class as a guest on the Jerry Springer Show. They do so by hiding behind fake names and the KTW website is visited by some of these unfortunate creatures, many of whom have their comments edited — and some of whom will soon find their comments never be approved for moderation as we increase our effort at cleans-
ing our website of such verbal vermin. In his essay, Arthur notes Reuters has jettisoned comments completely. Reuters is not alone as more media websites are ditching the comments sections due to the abhorrent behaviour of trolls. Huffington Post, meanwhile, requires real names for those wishing to comment. A few years ago, when KTW was part of Black Press, we switched to a commenting system in which those wishing to weigh in on a story had to do so via their Facebook account. Yes, the number of comments decreased, but the quality of comments rose substantially. Of course, no system is foolproof and people can create fake Facebook accounts or fake email accounts tied to fake names. However, if such requirements can weed out even a few trolls, it can be worth the effort. On our website at kamloopsthisweek.com, there are no plans afoot to change the commenting system. Readers will still be permitted to reply to a story (or to other commenters) using any nickname they wish. We allow this because we recognize there are situations when readers wish to contribute to the discussion with thoughtful debate, but may need to shield their real names for legitimate reasons. However, there has been and will continue to be increased moderation vigilance to ensure spiteful comments from cowardly trolls hiding behind pseudonyms remain offline. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
POLAND WAS CAMPAIGNING IN CITY MIGHT AS WELL GO FOR SODA
Editor: KGHM International’s efforts to influence the outcome of the Nov. 15 municipal election, to help it gain social licence in Kamloops for its proposed Ajax open-pit mine, is a threat to Canada’s democratic traditions. By stating it would register with Elections BC as a third-party sponsor after it engaged in political activities, KGHM International admitted it was not in compliance with B.C. election laws. The public has a right to be concerned. If KGHM International only complies with election laws after public complaints about its potentially unlawful behavior, will it comply with environmental laws in its mining operation only when the public complains? Even more seriously, there is the issue of a foreign government-
controlled corporation campaigning in an election to help elect politicians who will be making decisions to approve zoning changes to allow for the company’s mineral-processing activities. The legal basis for local government control over such activities is outlined in the 2012 University of Victoria Environmental Law Centre publication, Mitigating Community Impacts of Mining Companies: Options for Local Governments. The foreign government in question is the government of Poland. As an April 16, 2012, Financial Times report stated: “KGHM is 31.8 per cent owned by the government, which gives the treasury effective control over the company as the rest of the shareholders are diffuse.� KGHM was founded in 1961
by the Polish communist government. KGHM in turn owns KGHM International. Therefore, through corporate ownership, it is really the Polish government — a government that maintains vestiges of its communist past — that was indirectly campaigning in the Kamloops election. Does our federal government believe foreign governmentcontrolled corporations, or any foreign corporations, should be invading our democratic political processes? The Harper government has been sharply critical of foreign environmental organizations for operating in Canada. Will it take the same position on foreign governments and corporations doing the same thing? Bill Hadgkiss Kamloops
FESTIVAL UNLEASHED AUTHOR IN US Editor: I attended the recent Writers Festival, organized by the Kamloops Arts Council and BC Living Arts. This was a powerful event for the 30-odd local writers and aspiring writers attending. For myself, it springboarded me from planning a story to fullsteam-ahead writing it. I have the festival to thank for bridging me across that transition. The festival provides the opportunity to come out from under your solitary writing rock and publicly air your work. I watched writer after writer validated, guided and encouraged as they shared their work with professionals. Like an incubator for fledgling hi-tech companies, the Kamloops Arts Council nurtures the talent in our city and brings in successful mentors, such as
our own Garry Gottfriedson, to guide and encourage. The arts council has a low profile in the city. I didn’t have a clue what it was or what it did. (The Kamloops Arts Council is non-profit and supports multiple events every year, many high profile, such as Art in The Park.) But, it quietly makes a serious contribution to the arts and emerging artists of all stripes in Kamloops. I have benefitted enormously. From casual conversation, I know all the other writers at the festival did, too. Thank you to the Kamloops Arts Council and executive director Kathy Sinclair. Margaret Josephine Archibald Kamloops
Editor: Perhaps it caught my attention simply because I am a non-drinker. Maybe I was not the only one who noticed. Kamloops This Week did a very good job covering the civic election and giving fair space to candidates to present their platforms. The upsetting part to me was the photo on the front page of the Tuesday, Nov. 18, edition of KTW, showing people celebrating the election results. Why does alcohol have to hold such a glamorous place in our society? Alcohol is the most widely available, yet most socially acceptable baneful drug ever consumed by people. It is the biggest cause of marriage break-ups and family disputes, not to mention death and injury through impaired driving. It is also the biggest burden on our medical and legal systems. Our policing costs could be greatly reduced if alcohol abuse wasn’t such a large problem. The term “bar flush� is nothing more than an apologetic metaphor used to describe the outpouring of intoxicated individuals who stumble out of bars at closing time and become the problem for our police to handle. Lots of people celebrate life without the use of alcohol. Few people control alcohol. More often than not, it is the other way around. John Noakes Kamloops

A Kamloops man who fraudulently cashed an income-assistance cheque belonging to a man serving time in jail won’t have a criminal record if he can stay out of trouble for a year. Cory Alexander Tomlin pleaded guilty to one count of fraud in Kamloops
provincial court. Court heard the 22-year-old was approached in October 2012 by a friend, who asked him to cash a cheque worth $886.42. The cheque was in the name of Cody Lawrence, who was behind bars at Kamloops Regional
Correctional Centre at the time. Tomlin cashed the cheque at an ATM in Chase on Oct. 12, 2012. Court heard he was given a $100 cut. In court, Tomlin said his grandparents will reimburse the provincial government for the full amount of the
cheque. Provincial court Judge Chris Cleaveley handed Tomlin a conditional discharge and placed him on a yearlong probation term. That means he won’t have a criminal record if he can stay out of trouble for the next 12 months.
Jail and Bail to raise funds for United Way On Thursday, Nov. 27, more than 75 Kamloops community members will be arrested for the fourth annual Jail and Bail event organized by the Kamloops RCMP to raise money for the United Way Community Fund. In the past three years, Jail and Bail has raised more than
$200,000 for the community. The goal for the 2014 event is $125,000. Included in the “felons” to be nabbed are KTW reporter Dale Bass and 12 doctors. In addition, a former Kamloops Blazer coach has apparently run afoul of the law.
Guy Charon is also expected to be picked up and deposited in the jail cell at the Tournament Capital Centre. All can be bailed out with donations to the United Way. For much more information, go online to http://www. unitedwaytnc.ca/2014/10/jailand-bail-kamloops.
Winds of change end air-quality alert Winds and changing weather patterns have cleared the Thompson Valley’s air — and a public-health advisory. The Ministry of Environment ended its air-quality advisory on Thursday, Nov. 20, following
changing weather conditions, including wind that dispersed air in the valley. On Saturday, Nov 15, the ministry issued the advisory when levels of fine particulate, or PM 2.5, averaged 34 micro-
grams per cubic metre over 24 hours. The ministry said sources of particulate in the airshed included wood-burning stoves, open burning, industry and vehicle traffic.

Guilty plea in high-profile case ALISON AULD
THE CANADIAN PRESS
HALIFAX â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A second young man accused in a prominent child-pornography case pleaded guilty in youth court yesterday (Nov. 24) to distributing a sexually graphic image of a 15-year-old girl who later died following a suicide attempt. The 19-year-old man, who cannot be identified because he was a minor at the time of the offence in the fall of 2011, was expected to start a scheduled four-day trial, but entered a guilty plea to one count of distributing child pornography. He will be sentenced on Jan. 15. The girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents said they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprised by the plea, but wished it had come earlier, adding it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it any easier to listen to the difficult facts of the case as the
accused sat nearby on the prisonerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bench. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We felt the evidence was already pretty strong . . . but this should have happened in the first place,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; her father said outside Halifax youth court. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to be in the courtroom because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re angry . . . Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not there to see this happen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not there to see people held accountable for what they did to her.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Crown prosecutor Alex Smith read an agreed statement outlining the facts of the high-profile case that garnered national attention following the girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death last year. A 20-year-old man also charged in the case was given a conditional discharge earlier this month after pleading guilty to making child pornography by taking a photo of the
accused having sex with the girl. His identity is also protected because he was a minor at the time. Smith described how the girl, who was 15 at the time, was at a house with two teenaged boys in November 2011 and had been drinking. One of the teen boys took a photo of the other having sex with the girl from behind as she vomited out a window. The statement said the girl did not know the photo was being taken and did not give consent as the man was pressed up against her and giving two thumbs up while he smiled for the camera. Smith said the accused who took the photo sent it to his friend who had sex with the girl. Smith said the latter then texted it to
two young women, who then sent it out to â&#x20AC;&#x153;numerous persons, most of whom attended the same schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; as the two accused and the girl. The judge agreed to seal the photo. The girl, whose identity is protected by a mandatory publication ban, died after she was taken off life-support following a suicide attempt in the spring of 2013. Her family said she was bullied for months because of the photo and have voiced their opposition to the publication ban that prevents her from being identified, saying it silences them from telling her story. Critics of the ban have also named her on social media. A review has been launched to examine how police and prosecutors in Nova Scotia initially handled the girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s allegations.

Help on Ebola vaccine HELEN BRANSWELL
THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — The chances a made-inCanada experimental Ebola vaccine will successfully make its way through the developmental pipeline and into use in West Africa improved dramatically yesterday (Nov. 24), with new high-powered help taking over the project. Pharma giant Merck, which has nearly a century’s worth of vaccine production experience, has acquired the licence to produce the experimental Ebola vaccine from a small U.S. biotech, NewLink Genetics.
The deal gives the vaccine the guidance of a team that knows how to shepherd products through testing and the regulatory process, as well as access to in-house expertise in producing live virus vaccines, like the Ebola product. “We will be taking primary responsibility for advancing this program,” said Dr. Mark Feinberg, chief public health officer for Merck Vaccines. “And, our intent is to do everything we can to make things happen as quickly as possible and be able to bring them to scale as quickly as possible to not only evaluate the efficacy and tolerability
of this vaccine, but, if it is shown to be promising in those regards, to make sure that it can be as widely available as quickly as possible to as many people who could benefit from it.” The deal earns NewLink, of Ames, Iowa, a substantial payday. The company, which paid $205,000 for the licence for the Ebola vaccine, will get $30 million US up front, an additional $20 million US when the vaccine goes into efficacy testing and royalties if and when the vaccine is approved and sales begin. There will not be royalties paid, though, on doses of the vaccine
that are sold to African and other low-income nations, Feinberg said. The vaccine, called rVSV-EBOV, was designed by scientists at Canada’s National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg. The deal is worldwide and exclusive and covers other vaccines created by the Winnipeg lab using the same delivery method. That means as a result of this deal Merck could develop a Marburg virus vaccine, as well as one against Lassa, another viral hemorrhagic fever virus. As well, the company could develop vaccines against other strains of Ebola.

SURREY — A woman in her 60s has been found dead in a Surrey home and her husband has been arrested. Staff Sgt. Jennifer Pound of the Integrated Homicide
Investigation Team said Mounties were called to the home (in the 6900-block of 152 St.) on Sunday, Nov. 23, and found the woman’s body. IHIT was called in immediately and Pound said while it’s early in the investigation, the
motive appears to be domesticrelated. Pound said the victim’s husband, also in his 60s, is in custody. Because the man hasn’t formally been charged, Pound said the his name won’t be released.
The mascot depicts an Arabian raider character holding a sword and a hockey stick. The announcement came just one game into the mascot’s career with the Raiders. The mascot sparked controversy and attracted national attention, with some people saying it was stereotyping Middle Eastern people.
Interest-free student loans pricey in Manitoba WINNIPEG — The Manitoba government said waiving interest on student loans will cost the province about $1 million a year. Premier Greg Selinger reiterated his throne-speech promise to eliminate interest on student loans in order to make post-secondary education more accessible.
Selinger said details, such as when the change will occur and exactly how much it will cost, will be revealed in the spring budget. Selinger said when the change occurs, it will also apply to existing student loans, so current borrowers will also not pay interest.

WILLIAMS LAKE — A government progress report into a voluminous wastewater spill at a south-central B.C. gold and copper mine calls for quick completion of human health and environmental-risk assessments. B.C.’s environment ministry said the Mount Polley Mine Corporation must undertake a number of activities in its efforts to clean up the summertime tailings pond breach. The province’s latest report outlines a list of items that require more immediate action and details what work has already been completed to the ministry’s satisfaction. The report says a number of measures are already underway in phase one of the mitigation plan, including the installation of a silt fence and other steps to protect the area from environmental damage that could occur due to increased water flow from the spring snow thaw. Environment Minister Mary Polak said full environmental remediation will take years, but many parties are already working at a plan to restore the land as close as possible back to its original state. Imperial Metals Corp. has reported to the government about 17-million cubic meters of water and eight-million cubic meters of tailings materials discharged into Polley Lake and Quesnel Lake in August, a substantial increase from its original estimates.

CANADA’S SMARTEST PERSON
HAS KAMLOOPS CONNECTION DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Braden Lauer really wants to study this week. The second-year law student at the University of British Columbia has exams next week and he is buried in books right now. But, there’s this little distraction he’s dealing with — having won CBC-TV’s Canada’s Smartest Person contest this year. And, Kamloops can lay claim to a bit of the reasons behind his success, Lauer said, since he went to Juniper Ridge elementary before the family moved to Alberta. It was during his schooling in Kamloops that he came to a realization. “I’ve always had a logical mind and I’m a talker and very social,” he said, noting they are all attributes that led him to first study business in university and then move over to law. Those skills helped him with
the nine-week competition that included challenges in six areas of intelligence — musical, physical, social, logical, visual and linguistic. Lauer has known since shooting ended in the summer he would assume the title won last year by Hamilton TigerCats defensive lineman Peter Dyakowski. Other than telling a couple of family members and swearing them to secrecy, he is relieved to be able to tell everyone after the finale aired on Sunday, Nov. 23. “I found out I can keep a secret,” Lauer said. The most difficult tasks involved the visual challenges, he said, and he found himself floundering. “I was always in a tough, tight pressure situation,” he said, even right up to the final challenge to declare a winner between himself and Johnny MacRae, a poet from North Vancouver. MacRae struggled with the
first element of the challenge, one that required creating shapes and inserting them into the right holes before the timer kicked everything out and the challenge had to be repeated. “It doesn’t really show it, but that thing blasted them out about every 10 or 15 seconds,” Lauer said. MacRae was still trying to complete it when Lauer finished all elements of what the show called the gauntlet, the one area of skill he said he did best. While there’s no prize other than bragging rights, Lauer said he already had the show on his resume, listing himself as a contestant because it’s “a fun thing to talk about.” The resume’s going to be updated to reflect his triumph — and, then, after enjoying his celebrity a bit more, it’s back to the books. He may be smart, but he’s still got to study for those exams.

Hockey world mourns loss
Broncos name new head coach MARTY HASTINGS
THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Hall of Fame hockey coach Pat Quinn is being remembered by friends and colleagues as an inspirational leader who left his mark on the sport. Quinn died Sunday (Nov. 23) night at the age of 71 after a lengthy illness. “Whether he was playing for a team, coaching a team or building one, Pat Quinn was thoughtful, passionate and committed to success,’’ NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said in a statement. “Pat’s contributions to hockey, at every level, reflected the skills he possessed and the great respect with which he treated the sport. Quinn coached five NHL teams in his 20-year coaching career and also served as general manager with Vancouver and Toronto. While he never won a Stanley Cup, his teams made the playoffs 15 times. He reached the Stanley Cup final twice, with Philadelphia (197990) and Vancouver (1993-94). “We have lost a great man. It’s a sad day for hockey and for everyone who loves our game,’’ Canucks president of hockey operations Trevor Linden said in a statement. Linden was the captain of the 1993-1994 Canucks team that lost the Cup final in seven games to the New York Rangers. “On this difficult day I am thinking about Pat, his family and his friends, and how much he will be missed. “I wouldn’t be the person I am today if it weren’t for Pat. He was a great leader and always a teacher. He taught me how to be a professional on and off the ice. He taught me how to play

hockey the right way, how to win and about the importance of respect and loyalty. “Pat’s impact on our city has been immeasurable. He was responsible for bringing hockey to the forefront in Vancouver. He brought the pride back to the Canucks and today his finger prints and impact are still felt within this organization.’’ His crowning achievement arguably came at the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics, where he led Canada to its first gold medal in 50 years. While in Salt Lake City, Quinn was also a staunch supporter of Canada’s women’s team. Hayley Wickenheiser said she remembers Quinn’s reaction on the bench when Canadian women won gold. “Pat Quinn was a giant of a man in every way. A true leader
and a wonderful person,’’ Wickenheiser posted on Twitter. “One of my fav. Pat Quinn moments was him in tears on our bench after winning gold in Salt Lake 02. He said women inspired the men. #patsbench’’ Canadian Olympic Committee president Marcel Aubut said Quinn made a lasting impression with Canada’s Olympic program. “I had the pleasure of knowing Pat Quinn for almost two decades. He was a larger than life coaching giant in hockey and an outstanding leader in Canada’s Olympic movement,’’ Aubut said. “His contributions as a player, coach and builder will never be forgotten and through his work he leaves behind a legacy that has inspired future generations of hockey players.’’ His loss was being felt out-
side hockey circles as well. “Pat Quinn was a giant of the hockey world, on the ice and off,’’ Prime Minister Stephen Harper said via Twitter. Quinn also made his presence felt in the junior hockey community. He was behind the bench when Canada won it’s last world junior gold medal in 2009, and he was a part owner of the Western Hockey League’s Vancouver Giants. “Words cannot express the pain we all feel today for the Quinn family,’’ Giants majority owner Ron Toigo said in a statement. “Pat was an inspiration to all of us. He always said that respect was something that should be earned, not given, and the respect that he garnered throughout the hockey world speaks for itself. He will be sorely missed.’’
Brad Yamaoka has taken the reins of the Kamloops Broncos. The former CFLer was named the B.C. Football Conference (BCFC) team’s head coach yesterday (Nov. 24), succeeding Duncan Olthuis, who resigned on Nov. 13. “I’ve always wanted to coach at the next level,” said Yamaoka, who works full-time as an account manager with Big Kahuna Sport Company. “I thought, hey, why not see what we can do here? Let’s try and build on what Duncan has put together.” Olthuis compiled a 12-27-1 record in four seasons with the junior-football club, with Kamloops clinching its first playoff berth in franchise history in 2013, despite a 2-7-1 mark. Yamaoka has been involved with the Broncos since their inception in 2007, serving on the board of directors and coaching in different roles. The former Winnipeg Blue Bomber and B.C. Lion had moved to Vernon for four years and taken a step back from the Broncos, but the Yamaokas returned to the Tournament Capital in time for the 2014 BCFC campaign. He helped out with

special teams and the running backs last season and Bronco brass approached Yamaoka about the head-coaching position when Olthuis stepped down. “It’s not my lone decision. My wife and my kids would have a little bit of input into it as well. It’s time away from them,” Yamaoka said. “If I didn’t love it, I wouldn’t do it. If I didn’t care about football, I wouldn’t put myself in this position.” It doesn’t pay well to be the head coach of the Broncos — an honorarium covers travel costs and time commitment — and it requires a great deal of dedication, both during the off-season, when it’s recruiting time, and during the season, from August to October. As Olthuis found out, balancing a fulltime job and family commitments with bench-boss duties is no small task. Yamaoka said he’s no stranger to the juggling act, having done it for years coaching with the Broncos and at the high-school level. He is inheriting a team coming off its best season in program history, posting a 6-3 record in 2014 and falling just shy of its first post-season victory. See YAMAOKA, page A19

The Blazers left Spokane after Sunday’s tilt and arrived in the Tournament Capital yesterday at about 4:30 a.m. after the nearly 600-kilometre trek home. There will be no rest for the weary, with the Blue and Orange set to load the bus tomorrow at about 10 a.m. and make the 420-kilometre journey to Everett.

Six-time Olympian Hughes runs with WolfPack in memory of teammate ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
As the WolfPack cross-country team lapped the Thompson Rivers University campus for the Walk a Mile in My Shoes run/walk on Thursday, Nov. 20, it was as much about remembering a teammate as raising awareness of mental-health issues. The Pack lost a member of its team to suicide this summer, after she spent years struggling with mental illness. “We wanted to create an event to honour her and to honour everyone’s experience because we know mental health and mental illness affects everybody, not just people from certain ages or cultures,” WolfPack assistant coach Sharon Munk said. “It affects all of us, athletes included.” The loss of their teammate was the impetus behind the 1.2-kilometre trek, which brought out a special guest — sixtime Olympian Clara Hughes. Hughes, who is the only athlete to ever win multiple medals in

Chelsea Corsi (left) and Cindy James (right) joined Canadian Olympian Clara Hughes for a run around the TRU campus on Thursday, Nov. 20. Hughes, an advocate for mental-health awareness, joined members of the WolfPack cross-country team, which was running in memory of a former teammate who struggled with mental-health issues and committed suicide.
both the Summer and Winter Olympic Games — she won two bronze medals in 1996 in cycling and four medals (one gold, one silver and two bronze) in
speed skating over the course of three Winter Games — has been a vocal advocate of mental-health awareness in recent years. Having dealt with
depression herself, Hughes knows the importance of eliminating stigma and connecting people with resources. “When I heard of the story of the loss of a beautiful, young life — one of the crosscountry running team members, last summer, to suicide, to mental illness — they asked me, ‘Do you think you could walk with them or just be there for the start?’” Hughes told KTW after finishing two laps of the course. “I’m like, ‘I’ll be there and run, just be a part of this.’” Hughes was on campus to speak in the TRU President’s Lecture Series. She made a keynote speech on Thursday in the Grand Hall. Hughes’ presentations reflected on her own experiences with mental health, particularly her past struggles with depression. “There are too many young lives that are being lost because of struggle,” she said. “They’re struggling in silence because of the stigma, because of the shame, because of the lack of understanding that it’s an illness

and you can get help and you can get better.” Her presence at the walk/run helped raise the profile of the event, which was also a fundraiser for the Kamloops branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association. “It’s surreal. It hasn’t really sunk in yet,” said Ryan Pidhirniak, one of the WolfPack runners heavily involved in the event’s organization. “It’s really quite amazing.” Following the run, Hughes took some time to meet with the crosscountry team. She hoped to be able to impart some advice, from her own experience, about dealing with loss. “I lost a teammate when I was in my second Olympics and it wasn’t to mental illness. It was a tragic bike accident, but loss is a horrible thing,” she said. “The thing you can do to honour the people that you care about, these teammates that you lose, and they’ve lost one, is to run with them in your hearts and to never ever let them be forgotten.” On Thursday, the WolfPack did just that.

Yamaoka wants program to take next step From page A15
“I hope I can assemble a coaching staff that cares about football as much as I do and assemble a roster that will buy into what we’re doing in Kamloops,” Yamaoka said. “I’m not here to drop the hammer. What Duncan’s done in the last few years has been commendable and building on what he’s done is key. I don’t think cleaning house is the way to do it.” Mike Faisthuber will return as offensive coordinator in 2015 after running one of the most productive units in Canadian junior football last season. Yamaoka plans on bringing in new blood to help out with the defensive coaching staff, which he described as inexperienced. “People might look at me and think I’m silly for thinking this,
Former Kamloops Broncos head coach Duncan Olthuis (left) resigned earlier this month. He has been replaced by Brad Yamaoka (middle). Mike Faisthuber (right) is the team’s offensive co-ordinator.
but I don’t think wins and losses are the most important thing for us as an organization,” Yamaoka said. “Don’t get me wrong, I like to win and I will try to win but, if kids are coming to Kamloops and enjoying themselves and finding value in what we’re doing and they move on to be
good citizens, good people and football players, I think we’ve done something good.” Yamaoka would like to see the Broncos become more active in their support of local high-school football programs and Kamloops Community Football. Although he admits
to being an inexperienced recruiter, Yamaoka’s job with Big Kahuna and his longtime association with B.C. High School Football will likely provide him with valuable connections. He plans to improve the on-field product and build a team rich in character. “It’s one thing to
bring in a bunch of star players and have a team that’s in disarray, as opposed to having a bunch of kids that are going to buy into what you’re trying to do,” Yamaoka said. “We need to have the idea in the back of our heads that we’re building them as people and players and moving them onto whatever life choices they may make.” Yamaoka becomes the fifth head coach in Broncos’ history, following Olthuis, Rob Ellis, Darryl Chow and Stefen Reid. “My coaching style may be a bit different, but not a whole lot will change from a standpoint of day-to-day operations — a new perspective maybe and that’s about it,” Yamaoka said. “If we can keep this going forward, in a few more years we’ll be right at the top.”

ò Obituaries & In Memoriam ô HARRY CAMERON BLADES It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our wonderful and sweet dad, Harry Cameron Blades. Survived by his loving and caring daughters, Kelly Cameron Blades and Tracy Lynn Upton (Mitch), granddaughters Caitlin Upton and Morgan Upton. Harry also leaves behind his former wife and caring friend, Rose Blades. Dad was born on April 10, 1930 in Biggar, Saskatchewan. He was predeceased by his parents and his younger brother Bob. The majority of his life was spent in Kamloops, growing up in the natural environment of the Tranquille valley. These years would help to create his love of the outdoors. Harry had many careers during his lifetime – timber cruiser, firefighter, labor foreman at Mt. Lolo radar base. He was a man who knew and excelled at many things; he was a jack of all trades. He built his first home on Kelly Drive and would later build on Kenora Road. Dad dearly loved us, his daughters and his beloved granddaughters. He had a wry sense of humor, was logical, thoughtful, kind and a great provider. Dad was always ready to lend a hand to us fixing our cars, homes, apartments, anything where he could be of assistance to us. He was a patient teacher, teaching us to drive, and then so we would know how to change a tire, he took one off of our cars. Dad loved the outdoors and appreciated nature. He used to love hunting until we his daughters cried and complained seeing the dead birds and game he had killed. So he stopped hunting! Dad was an avid fisherman since his youth. He found great peace and solitude alone with rivers and streams perfecting the art of fly fishing, at which he became a master. His early fishing years were spent at Peter Hope Lake and on the Thompson River. One of his favorite places was the Dean River north of Bella Coola, B.C. An original founder of the Cedar Hole Gang, many “happy” hours were spent on the river. He raced snowmobiles and helped to form the first club in Kamloops. He loved the speed and the challenge. Later in life Dad found a great passion – golf. Dad enjoyed sports and hobbies that challenged him as an individual. He golfed many years happily at Eaglepoint Golf Course with his favorite golf partner and longtime friend, Chuck. We as his daughters sincerely thank Dr. J.F. Malan, Wendy and the palliative care nurses, and the amazingly kind and caring staff of Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home. You all came to our assistance and rescue when we so dearly needed you. Anyone wishing to send flowers to the family, please instead make a donation to the hospice at 72 Whiteshield Crescent South, Kamloops, B.C. V2E 2S9. Dad was so very happy to be there and appreciated and admired everyone there.

DANIEL HALLER After a lengthy battle with Cancer, Dan passed away quietly at Hospice House on Sunday, November 16, 2014. Dan and his twin brother Sam were born in a cabin at Buck Lake, Alberta, on January 20, 1925, joining their brother John and sister Taffy. Dan served in the Canadian Armed Forces towards the end of WWII. Following his service, he did a variety of work from bartending to construction before completing his plumbing and heating apprenticeship. Dan then operated his own commercial plumbing and heating business in Calgary. During this time he met and married Joyce. They moved to 100 Mile House in the early ‘80s and built their retirement home on Fawn Lake Road. They both worked as guards for the local RCMP detachment. When Joyce became ill, they and their much loved little dog “Brew”, moved to Kamloops in 1995. Joyce passed away on June 21, 1998. Dan was happiest keeping busy with home improvements, gardening, fishing and camping. He made a few trips across Canada in his motor home, supporting the Canadian Legions and Army and Navy Clubs wherever his travels took him. He, along with his friend and companion Verna, also enjoyed trips to Mexico, Cuba and the Panama Canal. A few years ago, Dan added a new dog to his home and “Abba” brought a great deal of happiness and comfort to both Dan and Verna. As well as Joyce, Dan is predeceased by his parents, siblings and nephew Lenny. He is survived by Verna Lister and her family: Dave (Terry) Prehara, Mike (Sue) Prehara and Debbie (Harry) Miller, as well as Joyce’s children: Donna (Ken) Youngson-Gay, Bruce (Glenys) Youngson and Linda Youngson, and Lenny’s wife Marion Haller and various nieces and nephews. We wish to thank Dr Jennifer Thomas, the medical staff at RIH and Home Care, and the staff of Hospice House for their care of Dan. Dan requested there be no service, however there will be an informal gathering for friends and family to remember Dan on Friday November 28, 2014 at The Army & Navy Club, #9 – 177 Tranquille Road, Kamloops (the former Beach House Restaurant), from 2pm to 5pm. If you wish to make a donation in Dan’s memory, consider the Kamloops Hospice Association or the Canadian Cancer Society BC & Yukon Division.
We, his parents, Fred and Nancy Leake, his brother Jonathan Leake and his nieces Beth and Aymee Leake will forever remember this remarkable, loving individual who filled our lives with laughter, joy and pride. Also cherishing his memory are his very dear family of close friends, who enjoyed Happy Hours at his Pad, sports (curling and golf, watching hockey), trips and dinners: Peter and Roseanna, Dianne, Burke, Andrew and Kelly, Marnie, Elisha, and Greg and Tahira. He was so blessed to to have such wonderful, caring friends who went through thick and thin for him. We are so grateful for each of them - thank you. He also leaves to remember him, several aunts, uncles and cousins, some of who were very close to him. He was the kind of person who brought sunshine and happiness into the lives of all who knew him. A special star shines in the heavens to remind us, of our very dear Ron. A celebration of life will be held in New Westminster at the Royal City Curling Club on Thursday, December 4 from 1 - 4 pm.

Bob was born to Robert and Margret Gordon on August 15th, 1931. Raised in Kamloops he was youngest child of six.

He also worked on many other large scale projects like the Mica Dam in BC. Bob met a feisty young lady in Naniamo, BC named Susann Major. They married in Port Alberni on June, 30, 1962 and lived in Victoria, BC where soon there were four children. The young family settled finally in Kamloops. Bob will be forever in our hearts and missed by many relatives and wonderful friends who have been a source of support to him through these last difficult years. There will be no service by request.

Beckham Jr.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incredible catch ROB MAADDI
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Before most television cameras start rolling and fans enter the stadium, Odell Beckham Jr. practices making acrobatic, one-handed catches in pre-game warmups. It paid off for the rookie receiver. Beckhamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spectacular leaping righthanded grab while falling backward and drawing an interference penalty was the talk of the NFL and the Internet on Monday, Nov. 24. Everyone from LeBron James to Hollywood celebs Elizabeth Banks and John Cusack marvelled at Beckhamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s touchdown catch in the New York Giantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; loss to Dallas on Sunday night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The greatest catch Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever seen,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said James, who was an All-Ohio wide receiver in high school. Banks tweeted: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just back from the
#AMAs and seeing replay of that Odell Beckman Jr. catch. OMG that was sick.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Cusack compared it to David Tyreeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helmet grab in the Super Bowl and Lynn Swannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diving reception in an earlier Super Bowl. Beckham, however, does it every day in practice and before games. This catch just happened to be in front of a national television audience against the Cowboys. His teammates, coaches and anyone who watched him play werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprised. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He practises that one-handed snag,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Eli Manning, who also threw the pass to Tyree that helped the Giants beat New England. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got big hands and great concentration and he can make those plays. That was a pretty great one.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Beckham made several stunning catches at LSU, including a diving, onehanded grab against Iowa in the Outback Bowl.
TORONTO â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Raptors guard Lou Williams was named NBA Eastern Conference player of the week yesterday (Nov. 24) after helping Toronto to a 3-0 record last week. Williams averaged 23.7 points a game off
the bench and had a .526 three-point percentage after connecting on 10 of 19 shots from long range. He also hit all 21 of his free-throw attempts over the three games. He was the only player in the NBA last week to average over 23 points and play less than 25 minutes
a game, the league said in a release. Williams, who had a career-high 36 points in a 110-93 victory in Cleveland on Saturday, Nov. 22, became the first non-starter in team history to shoot a perfect 15-for-15 from the free-throw line. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first time Williams has
Canucks getting contributions from fourth line, rookie Horvat JOSHUA CLIPPERTON
THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A night that started with a tribute to Daniel Sedin ended with the fourth line stealing the show. Jannik Hansen scored the first hat trick of his career and Bo Horvat and Derek Dorsett combined for five assists Sunday (Nov. 23) as the Vancouver Canucks defeated the Chicago Blackawks 4-1. Radim Vrbata had the other goal and Ryan Miller made 24 saves as Vancouver (14-6-1) celebrated Sedinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1,000th NHL game with a hardfought victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to get the win for him. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a measuring stick. Chicago is a very good team,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Hansen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be satisfied with winning a game here and there. We want to be the team that other teams are chasing.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Vancouver is back in action tonight (Nov. 25), hosting the New Jersey Devils at Rogers Arena. Game time is 7 p.m. Hansen, who now has eight goals on the season and five in the last three games, snapped a 1-1 tie at 6:24 of the third, deflecting a Dorsett shot from the boards into the top corner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We strive this year to make it a four-line team. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a matter
of one, two, three [or] four,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Hansen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone knows the [Sedin] twins are going to get their matchup every night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After that, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to the nine other guys to supply the secondary scoring. As long as we can do that, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a chance to win games.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Horvat finished with the first three assists of his NHL career, while Dorsett chipped in with two of his own for Canucks head coach Willie Desjardins, who appears to have found a fourth line he can trust â&#x20AC;&#x201D; something predecessor John Tortorella could not last season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Boâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been real good in the faceoff circle. They start with the puck lots of times. I think that makes a difference. They play smart. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t complicate it,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Desjardins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jannik had a great game going to the net and, when you go to the net, good things can happen.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Horvat, who finished 13 for 16 on faceoffs, continued to make a strong case to stay with the Canucks instead of going back to junior. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pretty confident as a line that we can go out there against some tough guys and some tough players,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Horvat, who played his eighth NHL game on Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The more I play and the better I play, the harder the decision is going to be on them. Hopefully Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m making it tough.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Manziel involved in hotel altercation TOM WITHERS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CLEVELAND — A Cleveland Browns fan who says he wanted to give Johnny Manziel “a hug’’ was struck by the rookie quarterback’s entourage at a downtown hotel and was left with a swollen eye and lip, police said. Police were called to The Metropolitan at The 9, where Manziel has a luxury apartment, after a fight broke out at 2:25 a.m. Saturday. According to a police report, Chris Gonos told police he was assaulted by “Johnny Football and his entourage.” The 33-year-old fan said he and his girlfriend approached Manziel while waiting for an elevator and he told the popular first-round draft pick: “I’m the biggest Browns fan ever. I love you. I want to give you a hug.’’ Gonos said he took one step toward Manziel and was punched by a man listed on the report as Dana Kirk. Gonos contends he was struck sev-

has spoken with Manziel about the incident and that the QB did not break any team rules. Pettine would not divulge any details of his meeting with Manziel. “It was a conversation between a coach and a player,’’ said Pettine, who added he had not seen video of the altercation. Manziel, who has been on the field for only a handful of plays this season, travelled with the Browns for their Sunday game in Atlanta. His late hours and social life became an issue during the off-season when he was photographed at various nightclubs. Manziel has spent his first season in the NFL backing up starter Brian Hoyer, who has pushed the Browns (7-4) into playoff contention. Hoyer threw three interceptions on Sunday, but rallied Cleveland to a lastsecond, 26-24 win over the Falcons. Pettine said the Browns coaching staff did not consider switching to Manziel during the game.

Gonos sustained a swollen lip and right eye, the report said. No arrests were made. The report also noted the hotel manager said cameras located near the elevators may have captured video of the dispute. Browns general manager Ray Farmer said in a statement the team is gathering more information to understand what happened. “Nonetheless, the time of the incident is concerning to us. We continually stress to all of our players the importance of sound decision-making in an effort to avoid putting themselves in these types of situations,’’ Farmer said. “We have addressed this appropriately with the player and will have no further comment at this time.’’ Browns coach Mike Pettine said he

Calgary will current road conditions get a shot at d r i v e b c . c a the Grey Cup LAURENCE HEINEN
THE CANADIAN PRESS
CALGARY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Calgary Stampeders have had one goal in mind since losing at home to the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the 2013 West Division final. From the outset of training camp, the Stamps set their sights on winning the Grey Cup. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get that chance when they take on the Hamilton TigerCats in the CFL title game on Sunday, Nov. 30, at B.C. Place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When that game ended, it was a very serious mindset with our guys,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Calgary quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell in regards to the 35-13 loss to the Riders on Nov. 17, 2013. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough when you know you have the talent, you know you have the best team in the league and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finish it.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Following that disappointing setback, the Stamps vowed to do everything they could to put themselves in a position to win their seventh CFL title and first since 2008. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honestly, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had the recipe,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said linebacker Keon Raymond. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just mixing the ingredients together to be able to get us to the point to where we want to be right now. Our goal from Day 1 in training camp was to make sure that we bring the Cup back to Calgary.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Stamps are now just one win away from accomplishing their mission thanks to a 43-18 win over the Edmonton Eskimos at McMahon Stadium on Sunday, Nov. 23, in the West Division final. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, we want to be happy about it, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to be that happy when you know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot of work ahead of you to win the big one,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Mitchell, who threw four touch-
down passes and scored on a two-yard plunge across the goalline in his first-ever playoff start against the Eskimos. Veteran Calgary linebacker Juwan Simpson said the Stampeders are focused on finishing the job they started. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just cleared another hurdle that we wanted to clear,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Simpson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ultimately, all of this means nothing if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win the Cup.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Stamps finished the season with a league-best 15-3 record and earned a bye straight to the West final, while the Ticats finished atop the East Division with a 9-9 record before downing the Montreal Alouettes 40-24 at home on Sunday to earn a berth in their second straight Grey Cup game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing a very good tough, football team,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Mitchell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the next seven days, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to live, breathe, eat, sleep Hamilton make sure I know every single thing about them.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
WHO: Jack deKeyzer ack deKeyzer doesn’t know if he has music in his DNA — he WHEN: Friday, Nov. 28 and Satwas adopted — but he knows urday, Nov. 29 growing up in England listenWHERE: The Columbia room ing to The Animals, Aretha at the Ramada Inn, 555 West Franklin, Otis Redding and the Columbia St. like helped shape his future. TICKETS: $25 to $30 at the venue, Sahali Centre Mall or DeKeyzer, next up on the schedinteriorblues.ca. ule for the Interior Blues Assocation of B.C. concerts in Kamloops, said the one thing those performers, The Rolling Stones “and a lot of Motown” had in common was their own roots in the blues. Having been given a guitar at the age of seven by his parents — one he said he’s pretty sure was too big for him, but he still loved to play — deKeyzer started playing in earnest. “And, as I got better, people would note that [Mick] Jagger or [Keith] Richard’s song, that’s really a Willie Dixon song, so I started learning more about the blues.” One of his biggest influences, deKeyzer said, was Cliff Richards and the Shadows, as much for the music — Richards remains just behind the Beatles and Elvis Presley in Britain’s top-selling singles list — as it was for the guitar work of the band backing Richards. In 1965, his family moved to Canada and deKeyzer had progressed enough in his musicianship that he found himself a job with Richard Newell, who performed as King Biscuit Boy — a riff off an early U.S. radio show called King Biscuit Time — the first Canadian blues musician to hit the Billboard Hot 100 charts. From there, deKeyzer played with Ronnie Hawkins and the Hawks, rockabilly performer Robert Gordon and The Bop Cats. “Then I decided I’d been in the business for 10 years and it was time I performed under my own name,” deKeyzer said. Next year marks his 30th anniversary of heading out on his own, but those early musical roots remain in his concerts, he said. He does two types: If the venue is a theatre, he performs only originals but, if there’s a dance floor, it’s a mix of his songs, some classic blues, some rockabilly, some rock. “But, blues is the main thing for sure,” he said. In fact, his latest release, Electric Love, a rocking blues CD nominated for a Juno Award last year for Blues Album of the Year, has nods to Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix and Robert Page. DeKeyzer will be at the Ramada Inn in the Columbia Room on Friday, Nov. 28 and Saturday, Nov. 29. Doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets are $25 for society members, $30 for non-members and are available at the venue, at the ticket centre in Sahali Centre Mall or online at interiorblues.ca.

NOVEMBER IS ALSO
DIABETES AWARENESS MONTH Diabetes has been labelled as the THE DISEASE of the 21st century. The most interesting fact is that in the next 10 years, Dr. Preety Desai 1 out of 2 adults will either be diagnosed with the disease or early forms of it. The most exciting thing today is that we know how to control it and the damaging side effects but a cure is still being researched. In dental research the most interesting thing we periodontists see is that moderate to severe gum disease goes hand in hand for diabetic patients. I can tell by looking in someone’s mouth as to how closely controlled their blood sugars are and I have even been able to help patients determine they had undiagnosed diabetes when dental cleanings alone could not control their gum disease. Even though newer generations are keeping their teeth longer, baby boomers are still losing their teeth 2X faster and are 3X more likely to have gum disease, all due to diabetes. For many years, studies have shown people with uncontrolled diabetes, have more gum disease than those without diabetes. Recent research now shows having periodontal disease ALONE raises your blood sugar levels whether you have diabetes or not. That is why recent experiments in India have tested oral metformin gels injected into the periodontal pockets to control disease and increase bone regeneration. Diabetes and periodontal diseases are both chronic inflammatory diseases that are silent until they both reach dangerous levels of damage and both make each other’s prognosis worse when occurring together. The word diabetes derives from the ancient Greek meaning “to pass through urine.” When one’s insulin hormone is ineffectual in dealing with dietary glucose levels, the result is an abnormally high blood glucose - your body has no choice but to pass it through the urine for elimination. Signs of hyperglycemia, include excessive urine production, extreme thirst, blurred vision, unexplained weight loss, tiredness and stupor like a drunken state. Diabetics are three to four times more likely to have periodontal disease because of a compromised immune/healing response. It is vital for diabetics to have excellent oral hygiene and regular professional cleanings. Any hint of gum infection make it difficult for a diabetic to control blood sugar. Diabetics without periodontal disease have 6X better sugar control versus diabetics with gum disease. Researchers have also shown that the elimination of gum disease can directly improve a person’s control over diabetes 100%. So be honest with yourself, if you are not tightly controlled, then those little spikes of blood sugar have a cumulative detrimental long term affect on all your body’s organs but especially keeping your teeth! So just because you don’t feel any pain does not mean you don’t have a serious problem. Take care of your mouth as well as your body - it smiles, chews and works hard for you!

HELP OUT THE HOSPICE
Folksy fundraiser for terminal-care facility Lowry Olafson, a folk singer and songwriter, will share the stage with two local choirs in a fundraiser for the city’s hospice on Thursday, Nov. 27. Olfafson, who lives in Gibsons, got involved with the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice when he was asked to bring his ThemeShop process to create a theme song for the facility. When he performs in concert, Lowry fills the evening
with guitar playing, humour and songs that go through a range of emotions, from funny to heartfelt. Having performed for more than 70,000 school-aged children throughout Western Canada, his show is a familyfriendly musical experience. The Kamloops concert at Calvary Community Church, 1205 Rogers Way, will include the Our Lady of Perpetual Help school choir and St. Ann’s
Academy’s Rising Stars school choir. About 10 staff at the hospice worked with Lowry to create the theme song Open Heart and Caring Hands, which will be introduced to the city at Olafson’s performance. The doors open at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for youth. They are available at the hospice, 72 South Whiteshield Cres.

Ron MacLean will speak in Kamloops this March Longtime host of CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada, Ron MacLean, will speak at the Canadian Home Builders’ AssociationCentral Interior dinner meeting in March. The dinner and keynote address on March 11, will take place at the Coast Hotel and Conference Centre and is open to both CHBACI members and the public. Tickets are $90 plus GST. The Central Interior association is celebrating its 50th anniversary. It represents 200 member residential builders across the region. For more information, contact the Canadian Home Builders’ Association Central Interior at 250828-1844 or via email at info@chbaci.ca.
Vote for projects from Kamloops 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 largerscale 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 cooperative members,
Community
BRIEFS who would share them to help keep transportation costs low and to do their part to improve the environment by reducing carbon-dioxide emissions. For more information or to vote on the Kamloops projects, go online to avivacommunityfund.org.
Time for some winter foliage The tomato plants may be done for the season, but the Kamloops Garden Club wants to share how you can keep growing through the winter months. A guest speaker will demonstrate how to make a winter foliage planter at the Heritage House tomorrow (Nov. 26.)
It begins at 7 p.m. and is open to everyone. The Heritage House is at 100 Lorne St.
Prepare for power outages this winter In the winter months, storms hit B.C. more frequently and increases the potential for power outages. Now that the snow has hit, BC Hydro is suggesting six steps to ensure people are prepared. • Know the number to call when the power goes out. To report an outage, call 1-888-POWERON or *HYDRO on your mobile phone. Automatic notification will be available through smart meters once all meters have
been installed and the system is fully operational over the next year. • Have an emergency kit ready and easily accessible. The kit should include: flashlights, a battery-operated radio, extra batteries, a corded telephone, warm clothing and blankets, a first-aid kit, non-perishable, readyto-eat foods and a copy of your emergencypreparedness plan. • If there is an outage, turn off all appliances and electronics, especially electric heaters. When power is restored, power will rush to all items left in the “on” position which can cause the system to overload and possibly cause a second outage. • When the power is out, turn off all lights except one inside the home and one outside.
The inside light lets you know when the power is back on and the outside light lets BC Hydro crews know. In future, smart meters will automatically let BC Hydro know when the power has been restored. • Make note of BC Hydro’s mobile-friendly website on your smart phone. The site provides updates on when power will be restored. • If you see a fallen power line, stay at least 10 metres away at all times. Never go near or
touch a fallen line. Report fallen power lines with the exact location to BC Hydro. For more information, go online to bchydro.com/outages.

FORD:
Making its global debut in LA, the 2015 Ford Explorer will now be equipped with
fuel economy. The EcoBoost can be paired with an available tow package and intelligent four-wheel drive with
Terrain Management System. Making a welcome comeback was the return of the iconic Shelby GT350 Mustang
powered by a unique, high-revving flat-plane crankshaft 5.2-litre V8 engine that will produce more than 500 horsepower.
The original Shelby GT350 was introduced in 1965 and established Mustangâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance credentials. The all-new Shelby GT350 Mustang was designed to tackle the planetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most challenging roads â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an all-day track car thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also street legal.
HONDA:
The all-new 2015 Honda HR-V entry crossover made its North American debut in L.A. and is designed to serve as the entry point to the Honda light truck lineup. It is positioned below the CR-V in both price and size. The HR-V will be equipped with the Honda-exclusive Magic Seat, which allows for multiple seating configurations and the ability to fold the second row seat completely flat for added cargo space.

Infiniti brought the Q80 Inspiration Concept to Los Angeles for its North American debut. Originally revealed at a private event in Paris, the Q80 Inspiration Concept foreshadows a potential range-topping Infiniti sedan. At nearly 200 inches long and 79 inches wide (larger than Infinitiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current flagship Q70) the concept is bigger all around than an Audi A7. Power for the Q80 Inspiration comes from a gasoline-electric hybrid drivetrain made up of a twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 engine and an electric motor. Together, the two power sources generate 550 hp, while allowing the sedan to return
up to 42 m.p.g. in a mixed cycle driving.
LAND ROVER:
The 2015 Discovery Sport â&#x20AC;&#x201D; seen for the first time in North America at the show â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will deliver a highly refined combination of performance, safety and efficiency, thanks to a body shell of highstrength steel and lightweight aluminum, a 240 hp turbocharged 2.0-litre engine, ninespeed automatic transmission and standard all wheel drive.
JAGUAR:
Jaguar showed the new F-Type with allwheel-drive, designed to improve the traction of this high performance coupe by including Intelligent Driveline Dynamics. This high-performance variant increases engagement for the driving enthusiast and expands the award winning F-Type sports car to a full lineup.
PORSCHE:
Porsche celebrated three world premieres at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The sports car manufacturer presented two new GTS models, the 911 Carrera GTS and the Cayenne GTS. The Cayenne GTS develops 440 hp and has an especially sporty, air suspensionequipped chassis with a ride height lowered by 20 millimeters, boosting driving performance to even higher levels. The third new model at the Auto Show was the Panamera Turbo S Executive Exclusive Series, which offers a particularly luxurious combination of performance and exclusivity.

A desire to detach from others and be entirely self-sufficient can have some challenges, Scorpio. You don’t need to give up independence to have the support of others.
Sagittarius, your energy levels are high and there is nothing you can’t accomplish this week.Avoid extra caffeine because you’re already buzzing.

Ooooh, kitties! They are so sweet. There are eight of them. Their fur comes in five colours. Five of them have black, four have white, two have orange, two have brown, and one has purple (paint or not, consider it a fur colour). Each kitten has at least one fur colour. Every kitten is special. That means that no two kittens have exactly the same fur colours. Up to how many of these mewing lovelies can have exactly one fur colour?

Leo, following your gut may not always work out, but this week everything works out for the best. Curb impulsiveness as much as you can, though.
