KAMLOOPS MOUNTIE SHOT Kamloops Cpl. JeanRene Michaud was shot at 2:45 a.m. when he stopped a vehicle at Batchelor and North River drives in Batchelor Heights. Michaud, who formerly served in the Ashcroft detachment, was seriously injured and underwent emergency surgery in Royal Inland Hospital.

A Kamloops Mountie is in critical, but stable, condition in Royal Inland Hospital after being shot during a traffic stop in Batchelor Heights — and police announced at 4 p.m. yesterday (right at KTW press deadline) that a suspect had been arrested. Cpl. Jean-Rene Michaud, a 40-year-old father of two, was the officer shot. “This is a dynamic investigation,” Kamloops RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller told reporters at a 10 a.m. press conference yesterday. The shooting occurred at 2:45 a.m. yesterday at the corner of Batchelor

Drive and North River Drive when an attempt at a traffic stop led to an exchange of gunfire. The vehicle and its occupants were described by police as “armed and dangerous.” The vehicle was described as a white, 1998, four-door Chrysler Intrepid with B.C. licence plate AF765A attached to it. Mueller said two police vehicles were in the area at the time of the traffic stop, each with one officer inside. “I can say that our officer was fired upon as he approached the suspect vehicle,” Mueller said. “The backup officer returned fire.” See CPL. MICHAUD A4

The spotlight that focuses on a shooting of a police officer is now aimed at Kamloops. Just 182 days after three RCMP officers were shot by Justin Bourque in Moncton — two of them fatally — a Kamloops Mountie is in Royal Inland Hospital in serious condition after being shot during what police say was a traffic stop in Batchelor Heights at 2:45 a.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 3. It’s been a long time since an officer was shot in Kamloops — 19,161 days, to be exact — when constables Elwood Keck, Donald Weisgerber and Gordon Pedersen responded to a call about a guntoting man heading into Peterson Creek Park. Keck, 25, and Pederson, 23, were on duty on June 18, 1962. Weisgerber, also 23, was not scheduled to work that day, but had dropped into the detachment to do some paperwork before heading out for a round of golf. He went along with his comrades as backup and was with them when they confronted George Booth, who was armed with a rifle and refused to drop it. Booth shot Pedersen twice. Pedersen returned fire, but the third shot was fatal. Keck also shot at Booth, hitting him in the stomach. Booth dropped his rifle, Weisgerber ran to get it, but Booth beat him to it and shot the officer as he ran toward him. Keck, stationed beneath the bridge from where Booth was shooting, took a look out to see if he had a shot. Booth fired, killing him. The incident ended hours later, following a shootout with other officers who converged on the park. The RCMP honour roll of fallen officers in Canada totals 234. It begins with the death of John Nash on March 11, 1876, with the notation he was “accidentally killed while on duty near Fort MacLeod,” in the Northwest Territories. The single-worst day for the Mounties came on March 3, 2005, when four officers were shot and killed in Mayerthorpe, Alta., when they went to a farm to execute a property-seizure order. — Dale Bass

Normally, the Christmas spirit hasn’t found its way into my world this early. In fact, there was unanimous shock expressed by others around the dinner table last week when I threw out the idea of forgoing the tree this year. “What’s Christmas without the tree?” the youngest son asked, while dad sat in his chair with that knowing look that I was about to be labelled the family Grinch. He was right and we’ll have a tree up by the weekend and will have finished shopping for gifts. The reality, however, is there are many people in our city who won’t be able to do this. Their Christmas meal will likely come from the New Life Mission, one of the four charities chosen to benefit from the 2014 KTW Christmas Cheer Fund. For Glen Maclaglan, the mission is an oasis. It’s a place where he can go and have a meal — he’ll be there for Christmas dinner on Dec. 24 — and know he’s in a safe place surrounded by people who won’t judge him. He lives with bipolar disorder and has had many tough years. The streets and the riverbank have been his home too long but, when he goes to the mission, he is among friends and people who are there to help him. The mission’s dental clinic, for example, helped deal with his abscessed teeth. Founded by the amazing Dr. Holly Schwieger in 2004, the then-retired dentist finally really retired — at the age of 84 — last year and new dentists stepped up to run the clinic, one that had 1,218 appointments last year with people who needed dental work, but couldn’t afford it. For Glen, that means no

longer gargling with peroxide to fight the infections, but getting the care he needs. There are other statistics associated with the mission, including the more than 40,000 hot meals served, the 530 shampoos and hair cuts done in its salon, the countless emergency supplies handed out and the army of volunteers who help staff deliver the myriad services that are essential to people like Maclaglan. The other charities chosen for the Cheer fund this year include the Y Women’s Emergency Shelter, the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice and the Sensational Soups meal program run at Mount Paul United Church. Donations began to come in when the campaign kicked into gear on Dec. 1. We’re accepting them at the KTW office at 1365B Dalhousie Dr., Mondays to Fridays between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. You can also make a donation online this year by going to kamloopsthisweek.com and either clicking on the sledding penguin at the top right of the page or the Christmas Cheer logo with the gift-bearing penguin farther down the page. The folks at the United Way Thompson-Nicola-Cariboo have set up the website for us and have incorporated options for those who want to donate, but would prefer to remain anonymous or make a memorial donation. Tax receipts will be issued for $10 or more. In coming editions, we’ll tell you more about the charities and donors who support the Cheer fund every year, people like the students at Jim Doan’s Western Karate Academy, who are holding their annual Christmas Cheer kick-a-thon this week. Businesses who want posters to help promote the campaign can send me an email .

MORTGAGE MATTERS The Annual Mortgage Check-up

LOCAL NEWS

For many Canadians, a mortgage is a once-every-five-year-chore. Fears about rates, costs and changes make this as enjoyable as paying taxes. However, a mortgage should be a tool to help you reach your goals, and that means planning. Life changes often dictate different mortgage strategies: are you starting or growing a family, starting a business, experiencing loss or interruption of income, planning home renovations, purchasing investment property or facing other major expenditures? A mortgage review can assess if your current mortgage’s interest rate, payments and options will help reach your goals. Low interest rates make it a good time for homeowners to give their mortgage a second look. Here are some common reasons to revisit your mortgage: •Paying down your mortgage faster: If you receive extra cash like an inheritance, tax refund or a work bonus, think about putting it toward your mortgage. For example, paying an extra $3,000 once every year toward the principal on a $250,000 mortgage can result in interest savings of $42,442 over the life of the mortgage, assuming a 25-year amortization and a fixed rate of 4.19%. •Lowering monthly payments: Renegotiating for a lower interest rate or higher amortization can protect your finances from unforeseen expenses, reduced income, and allow you to save up a rainy day fund. •Debt consolidation: Boost your cash flow or pay down your debt faster by taking high interest debt like a credit card balance and consolidating it into your mortgage. Your debt moves from multiple high payments, into one lower mortgage payment. Most lenders allow extra payments of 20% per year, so pay more when you have more! •Securing a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC): A HELOC can help you access lower-cost funds for investing, such as topping up your RRSP or TFSA contribution. It can also help you pay for home improvement projects or just be available for peace of mind. •Improving credit: A mortgage professional can discuss any credit concerns or issues and coach you on how to improve your credit score. Good credit advice can help you work toward cheaper future borrowing costs and better mortgage options. •Identifying concerns: Mortgages are supposed to work for you. If you are unsure about specific mortgage functions or benefits, an annual check-up can be a great time to discuss concerns, learn how to set up extra payments, change your payment date and more. In the end, a yearly mortgage checkup could reveal that the best course of action is no change at all… there is satisfaction in knowing that as well! Whether you are a first-time homebuyer, up for renewal or refinancing, there are many unique and competitive products available on the market today. For more information about qualifying for a mortgage or if you have questions about your specific situation, please call 250 682 6077 or e-mail steve.bucher@migroup.ca or check out my website at www.mortgagebuilder.ca Today’s Mortgage Matters is brought to you by Steve Bucher.

The suspect vehicle then fled as the backup officer tended to his fallen colleague. Dennis Marushy lives a block-and-a-half from the shooting scene and told KTW he was awakened by the sound of gunfire. “I heard eight to 10 rounds of semi-automatic fire,” he said. “It sounded like one guy emptying a clip — pop, pop, pop, pop. It sounded like someone emptying a clip in a semiautomatic. “Then we briefly heard sirens, but we did not see lights flashing.” At about 6:30 a.m., Mounties went door-to-door in the Batchelor Heights neighbourhood, telling residents, including Marushy, that the road was closed and no vehicles would be allowed to leave as a police forensics team gathered evidence. Mueller said investigators knew who they are looking for, but wouldn’t name the suspects. He indicated there could be two people involved. “We’ve identified possible suspects and we’re exploring those avenues,” he said. Michaud underwent emergency surgery following the shooting. Mueller said the doctors “were happy” with how surgery went, noting Michaud is in critical, but stable, condition. Mueller, citing privacy concerns, would not

divulge where on his body Michaud was shot. He said the corporal did manage to give his peers information from the shooting. Outside investigators have been brought to Kamloops to help local Mounties. Mueller said he met with the members of the injured officer’s watch. “I can tell you that there’s a lot of solemn faces, but they did a tremendous, professional job,” he said. “People who don’t wear the uniform and don’t put their life on the line every day don’t know what it’s like to go through that.” Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call police at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

LOCAL NEWS LINING UP FOR OATH OF OFFICE

ANDREA KLASSEN/KTW

Under the supervision of Justice Hope Hyslop (far left) Kamloops’ newly elected city council took its oath of office at a special inaugural meeting at Interior Savings Centre on Monday, Dec. 1. From right to left, the councillors are: Pat Wallace, Tina Lange, Marg Spina, Denis Walsh, Donovan Cavers, Dieter Dudy, Arjun Singh and Ken Christian. Mayor Peter Milobar took a separate oath of office.

Columbia project timing questioned ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The City of Kamloops will look to borrow just over $2 million for its planned widening of Columbia Street, but one councillor worries the timing of the project will throw many commutes into disarray. “It’s going to be chaotic,” said Coun. Donovan Cavers, who was the only member of council on Tuesday, Dec. 2, to vote against the first three readings of a borrowing bylaw for the project. Cavers doesn’t like the timing of the project, which will begin while work is still underway on the five-month Overlanders Bridge reconstruction, and believes it will hurt transit users travelling between the North Shore and Sahali, as well as drivers whose routine trips cross through both construction sites. Capital-projects manager Darren Crundwell said the city wants to complete work on Columbia Street next year, before the new clinical-services building and parkade at Royal Inland Hospital opens in early 2016. With that deadline, Crundwell said, the city doesn’t have much choice but to have the two projects overlap if it wants both completed in 2015 because Overlanders will take most of the construction season to complete.

Cavers believes council should have been better informed that work on the two routes was planned for the same year when it was asked to approve borrowing for the Overlanders project during the last term. He would have preferred to see the bridge project put off another year, until 2016. Most other councillors focused their

$ debate on another aspect of the project that has been somewhat controversial — a plan to close an existing left-turn from Columbia onto Second Avenue. Crundwell said the city chose to close the left-turn lane at Second because of the high number of rear-end collisions at the spot (as vehicles turning can back up traffic up the hill) and to stop drivers headed to the downtown core from speeding through a residential area as a shortcut. Coun. Denis Walsh called the current

plan because it routes traffic toward commercial, rather than residential, areas. The Columbia Street project, which will cost about $3.8 million, will add leftturn bays at Fourth, Fifth and Sixth avenues, traffic lights, a raised centre median and a bus pullout in front of RIH. Paving work is also part of the design. The city hopes to do work on Columbia Street in the summer, when school is out, and expects the project will take two months.

Dreamlift appears to have been grounded. Park Inland Restaurants, which owns the Wendy’s restaurants in Kamloops and elsewhere in the Okanagan and Shuswap, has decided against hosting the annual Wendy’s Dreamlift Day in the future. Proceeds from the event helped the Sunshine Foundation send Interior children with life-threatening illnesses or disabilities to Disneyland for the day. “We celebrated 20 years with Dreamlift with the support of our communities and now is the time to help out other organizations in our communities,” said Park Inland owner Ken Park. Wendy’s Dreamlift Day began when the Okanagan, Kamloops and Salmon Arm restaurants were owned by John Tietzen, Akbal Mund and other partners. They sold the franchise to Ken Park in 2012.

Park Inland will back the Dave Thomas Foundation, which was started by Wendy’s founder Dave Thomas and focuses on adoptions. “The goal is to help children in foster care in our community find permanent homes. It will be a lift that lasts a lifetime,” Park said. Since 1994, more than $1.4 million was raised and seven trips to Disneyland were organized. The funds raised include the gross profits and salaries from the staff, management and ownership of the nine Wendy’s restaurants in the region. “Sunshine will continue to fulfill dreams for kids in the region and wishes Park Inland Restaurants success as they provide support for other deserving charities,” said Tristan Joseph, Sunshine Foundation of Canada communications officer. However, the Sunshine Foundation has not indicated how it will continue to serve Interior youth or if Dreamlift flights from the region will continue. “We certainly hope that there will be

more Sunshine Dreamlifts serving kids in the Okanagan,” Joseph said. “At this point, we don’t have definitive information on when that might be. Sunshine will continue to fulfill individual dreams for kids in the Okanagan.” While Wendy’s will no longer host the major Dreamlift Day fundraiser, Park says his franchise will continue to support individuals through the Sunshine Foundation. As a former owner, Mund would not comment on the decision made by Park Inland Restaurants to not sponsor Dreamlift Day. “Am I sad to see it go? Of course. “But, I am happy that there were seven flights that left the Interior,” he said of the enjoyment the Disneyland trips brought to the children participating. “I focus on the thousands of volunteers who helped out during the fundraiser. “We served many kids and I am proud of that fact.”

Conditional discharges for teens in sexting case CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Original charges of distribution of child pornography against three teenage boys were disproportionate to the facts of a sexting case involving local schools, according to a provincial court judge who has sentenced the trio. The three boys, now 15, were given conditional discharges by Judge Roy Dickey in a decision on Monday, Dec. 2. The trio cannot be named under a provision of the Youth Criminal Justice Act. The Crown dropped the child-pornography distribution charges in exchange for the three pleading guilty to criminal harassment in what prosectors called a “sexting” case involving demands to young girls for nude photos — demands that in some cases were persistent and involved threats to share the photos with other people. Conditions the three boys must abide by for six months include attending school or work, attending counselling as directed and having a limitation on their use of cellphones. They must perform 20 hours of community work service and apologize to the victims. In sentencing sub-

missions in October, the Crown had asked for a period of 12 months of probation for the three boys, including 50 hours of community service. Defence lawyers asked Dickey to sentence their clients to a lesser conditional discharge, saying the arrests and publicity have left the boys socially isolated — in particular because they were banned from using cellphones for eight months. Dickey called the actions by the three “immature and demeaning.” In his decision, Dickey added the three boys were unfairly stigmatized by the original charges of distribution of child pornography. “The evidence does, however, support the charge of criminal harassment,” Dickey said. Defence lawyers for the three said they were ostracized at school and from friends when Crown laid the original charges earlier this year. The police investigation began in January, after a Kamloops highschool student informed a staff member at a local school about an alleged incident. At the sentencing hearing in October, Crown prosecutor Sarah Firestone said the three

B.C. surplus will go to paying debt Premier Christy Clark and her ministers are fending off calls to increase spending on pressing social priorities as the financial picture brightens for the B.C. government. With the bills tallied for the first half of the fiscal year, the province is forecasting a surplus of $444 million by next spring, about twice as much as was projected in last February’s budget. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the improvement was helped by a strengthening U.S. economy, despite commodity slumps that have produced declining lumber and coal revenues. Both de Jong and Clark said their highest priority is to repay about $5 billion in debt accumulated during a string of deficits before the budget was balanced in 2013.

boys traded images of girls who were between 13 and 15 years of age and who attended different Kamloops high schools. The exchanges of photos and texts with girls used a variety of social media, including Snapchat, Kik and iMessage. Lawyers acting for the three said they were being made “scapegoats” for the wide-

Among harm to the victims, Firestone said, is they do not know how wide their images were distributed, nor whether they will appear elsewhere online. The school district meted out its own discipline, including suspensions. When the information about the police probe became public in January, Terry Sullivan, the then-

superintendent of the Kamloops-Thompson school district, said the probe involved a “significant number” of students at multiple secondary schools in the Kamloops-Thompson school district — not only in the the city itself. Defence lawyers said 25 other boys were named in disclosure, but Crown did not lay charges against them. Images of as many as 32 girls, semi-clothed and topless, were circulated, according to Crown information provided to defence.

In his decision, Dickey “added the three boys

spread practise by teens of taking and sending nude photographs. However, Firestone said the three were engaging in what she called “pressured sexting.” In one instance, one of the boys texted a girl, accusing her of being “frigid” after she refused to send a photo. All images were captured on cellphones. In two instances, parents of the teens charged turned the phones over to school authorities after some information and applications were deleted.

A DANGEROUS JOB ILLUMINATED

he shooting yesterday of Kamloops RCMP Cpl. JeanRene Michaud illustrates all too clearly how dangerous the job of a police officer can be. We don’t know why he stopped that white Intrepid in Batchelor Heights in the middle of the night — police won’t reveal the reason for the traffic stop as is part of the overall probe — but, even routine traffic stops can be deadly for our men and women in uniform. While the initial word is that doctors are pleased with how Michaud’s surgery went, all too often such incidents result in death and incomprehensible pain for the family of the officer and his or her comrades. According to a Statistic Canada report from the fall of 2010, “in more recent years, stopping a suspicious vehicle/person and stopping a vehicle for a traffic violation have resulted in more homicides against police officers than responding to domestic disputes.” The last time the nation’s attention was transfixed on such a horrible situation, it was earlier this year in Moncton, when a man named Justin Bourque ambushed and shot three Mounties, killing two. And, few can forget the tragedy that unfolded in Mayerthorpe, Alta., in 2005. With news late yesterday of an arrest in the shooting of Michaud, we can only hope justice prevails and that the corporal, a father of two, makes a full recovery. As Kamloops RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller told reporters during a press conference yesterday: “People who don’t wear the uniform and don’t put their life on the line every day don’t know what it’s like to go through that.” If you see a Mountie while you are out and about this month, shake their hand and thank them for a hard job well done.

Premier’s view is puzzling

lmost a quartercentury ago, the newsroom where I worked went on strike. At the time, my oldest child would have been about 10 years old and she was curious about why mommy was going from hours of meetings — I was on the bargaining committee — to then walking in front of the office for hours, stopping trucks and talking to passersby about why the only newspaper in town wasn’t publishing. I explained to her the situation from my point of view, that we were on strike for a first contract, a first set of rules that would make working in the newsroom clearer for everyone. And — sign of the times then — the real reason we were on the street rather than at our desks was our belief the paper’s owners should be paying eight women the same wage it was paying several men, all of whom were doing the same type of job. One would be hard-pressed these days to see any workplace walk out in solidarity for just a handful of employees, but we had the numbers — more than 180 in the newsroom — and the belief pay equity should be a right, not a bargaining chip. My daughter asked to join me one day on the picket line because she also agreed men and women should be paid according to the work they do — and not according to their genetic makeup. That decision didn’t seem strange to me.

LEVEL When I was about her age, I accompanied my dad to a strike at a jail in Ontario, one he was working with for the union that employed him and represented the staff there. A few years later, I was protesting at grocery stores in the heat of the California-based grape and lettuce boycotts called for by Cesar Chavez and his United Farm Workers. Those experiences for me and my daughter no doubt fuelled our strong social consciences, our belief that, sometimes, you have to stand up for what you believe in, even if others disagree. Like Premier Christy Clark. Apparently the woman who once ran a red light, with her son in the car as they drove to hockey practice, is appalled some parents let their children join the protests against Kinder Morgan on Burnaby Mountain. Without a single notion of how the parents have addressed the issue with their children, Clark has taken it upon herself to chastise parents for their

actions, saying they are teaching their children it’s OK to break the law. Ignoring the legal detail that the protesters actually weren’t breaking the law — due to a mistake the company behind the Trans Mountain pipeline extension made in its court application to stop the protests — Clark’s reaction is surprising. After all, this is the same woman who was described by a former colleague — Martyn Brown, chief of staff to former premier Gordon Campbell — as being steeped in politics since she was a child. In fact, last year, journalist Dene Moore, in writing a story on Clark’s life, said Clark has had her eye on the premier’s office for most of her life. No doubt being exposed to politics when her dad ran three times for an MLA seat helped steel Clark’s resolve. Here’s hoping those kids learned a lot from their time on the other side of the police line in Burnaby. Let’s hope they learned that even kids have the right to express their viewpoints, to take a stand, to speak out for the land on which they live and play. Maybe in a decade or two, those kids will take their beliefs to another level, volunteering with an NGO or helping rally others to their cause. Maybe, just maybe, they may even run for political office. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

CITY OF KAMLOOPS SPENDING IS OUT OF CONTROL Editor: After reading about the new city council’s agenda in the Dec. 2 edition of KTW (‘The new term begins’) and considering KTW’s own online survey on what was most important to Kamloops’ taxpayers during the recent civic-election campaign — the No. 1 issue being municipal spending — I’m astounded that no questions about spending were asked. Worse, it doesn’t even appear to be on council’s radar. Instead, city council raised garbage-collection fees, did not increase parking fees and approved $591,754.00 for an engineering study on a simple water intake. This is ridiculous, especially in light of the fact that, in Kamloops, 75 cents of every

dollar increase in property taxes since 2009 has gone to wages and benefits for city workers. Readers can see this for themselves online at taxpayer.com Municipal wages and benefits are going through the roof, far outstripping the provincial and federal government pay and benefits increases during the past 10 years. Every time there’s a civic-contract negotiation, we hear the same old song and dance. Whether it’s city workers or firefighters, we are told it’s a fair increase because, when we look at other B.C. municipalities, we’re right in the middle of the pack. What is never mentioned is the fact the pack is constantly evolving, like a wheel,

moving along much quicker than the rate of inflation. Municipal wage and benefits increases far outstrip the private sector, where most people’s wage increases are not keeping up to the rate of inflation and not even coming close to civic-worker gains or the constant tax and user-fee increases city councils keep allowing. If city councils are not going to face the fact they have to rein in these unsustainable numbers, then it’s time the municipal auditor-general is given the authority to negotiate and set wages that correlate with the general rate of inflation and the population of any given city in B.C. Tim Francis Kamloops

CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS SO TIRED OF BUYING JUNK FOUND AT EXTRA FOODS Editor: I experienced a surprise Santa experience when shopping at Extra Foods in Northills Shopping Centre on Dec. 1. Prior to shopping there, I had gone to the well-organized, efficient and helpful Kamloops Food Bank to get bread and supplies for the Out of the Cold program at St. Paul’s Cathedral. I had a conversation with the lady behind me at the Extra Foods checkout counter and told her my unusual order of three large jars of Jam, four-dozen eggs, two tubs of margarine and packaged ham was for the shelter breakfast. She told me she liked to give during the Christmas season and so, in turn, she kindly paid for my grocery purchase. So, to the lady wearing the Santa Claus hat, who would not give me her name so I could send her a thank you note — thank you from St. Paul’s and our homeless guests. Your generosity is outstanding. Christmas blessings. Rae Long Kamloops

Editor: I don’t know about the rest of Canadians, but I am getting a little tired of what some of our formerly respectable retailers are dumping on us as respectable merchandise. It’s not respectable merchandise. I am not talking dollar-store stuff; I am talking about where we buy our work clothes, slippers, stoves, jeans — things like that. We are receiving a lot of junk. I purchased slippers. I went to tighten them and undid the bow and snugged them up a bit. The lace broke and this prompted me to take a closer look at them. The sole was thicker on the outside edge than on the inside edge, a disparity that caused my foot to slide to the inside and crush the support. First-class junk.

Results:

It seems like this stuff is occurring more and more often. Maybe it’s time to tell retailers whose purchasing agents are dumping junk on us to smarten up. I will bet if KTW forwarded this letter to other newspapers across Canada, we might start to get better stuff, like we used to. Sydney Davies Kamloops

Kamloops Airport won’t look at lowering its fees following cuts in Abbotsford, said manager Fred Legace. WestJet recently trumpeted fee cuts at Abbotsford International Airport, which included dropping its airportimprovement fee by half. The fee cuts come as air service between the Fraser Valley community and Edmonton is due to increase to three flights a day in June, up from two today. Abbotsford also eliminated fees for aircraft parking, bridges (used for direct access from terminals to aircraft)

Kamloops because they are part of a private contractual arrangement between WestJet and the local airport. “Airport fees may be considered a factor when deciding whether to bring service to a community on a start-up basis,” spokesman Robert Palmer said. “However, once an airline is established there, the level of service is determined by supply and demand. If more service is used, more is provided.” A WestJet flight to Edmonton begins out of Kamloops in February. Legace said his next goal is charter service direct from Kamloops to hot-spot destinations.

Outside of Abbotsford, Legace said the $10 airportimprovement fee in Kamloops is “probably the lowest in Canada.” Airport fees make up a small part of carrier costs, which are dominated by fuel, aircraft and staff costs. Kamloops Airport has no bridges from the terminal, no aircraft-parking charge and no baggage-handling fee for carriers.

THOMPSON-NICOLA REGIONAL DISTRICT PUBLIC NOTICE TNRD BOARD OF DIRECTORS INAUGURAL MEETING The public is cordially invited to attend the Inaugural Meeting of the Board of Directors of the Thompson-Nicola Regional District to be held:

It may have reminded some of a Roadrunner cartoon, but this prop from a Santa Claus Parade float prompted police to close the Tranquille Road overpass in North Kamloops for six hours on Saturday, Nov. 29, while they investigated.

Scout’s honour — that ‘TNT’ box was anything but explosive With apologies to AC/DC, it wasn’t TNT. Nor was it dynamite. And, as far as we can tell, the Acme Corporation had nothing to do with its creation. In fact, a suspicious package found near Overlanders Bridge on the weekend — creating a detour in North Kamloops for six hours — was actually a harmless prop in a float created by a Beaver Scout group for the Santa Claus Parade. At about 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 29, a passerby called police after spotting a red box with the letters “TNT” clearly written in black letters on

a white piece of masking tape. The box was found near the Tranquille Road off-ramp on the north side of the bridge. As a precaution, officials closed the ramp and overpass for a period of hours while investigators determined how to deal with the box, which turned out to be empty. The investigation has revealed the empty box fell from the beaver scouts’ Minecraft float as it left the downtown core after the parade. “It was a Minecraft float,” said Paul Janota, Beaver leader of the Kamloops 1st Hillside Scouts. “The kids made it.”

Janota said he expects the accidental drop of “TNT” to be a topic of discussion at the next Beaver meeting. “I’m sure it will be,” the NRI Distribution employee told KTW. “It’s already a topic of discussion around the office here.” While the cartoon-like TNT box led Mounties to close access to North Kamloops via the Tranquille Road overpass on Saturday, an unrelated suspicious item a week earlier in a downtown alley off Victoria Street resulted in the evacuation of a nearby business for an hour. That item was also determined to be non-threatening.

LOCAL NEWS Heather Hamill was killed in July 2003. Her then-boyfriend, Robert Balbar, was arrested in an undercover sting in 2007. He has admitted to killing Hamill, but claims he did so in self-defence.

NO MORE EVIDENCE DECISION IN MURDER TRIAL OF ROBERT BALBAR SCHEDULED TO BE IN JURYâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S HANDS ON DEC. 9 CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops man accused of murdering his girlfriend 11 years ago and dumping her body in the North Thompson River took the witness stand yesterday (Dec. 3) for the second time in the trial. Robert Balbar was brought back for cross-examination in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops so he could be questioned about a cut to his wrist that he testified happened during a struggle with Heather Hamill. Her body was found floating in the North Thompson River on Aug. 1, 2003. She had been bludgeoned to death with a blunt object. Balbar testified he received a cut lengthwise down his wrist from a hunting knife that Hamill wielded as she chased him

around the apartment. Balbar claims he killed Hamill by striking her with a hammer after she threatened his sleeping son with a machete and then came at him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember getting cut on the wrist,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That [scar] would be where I was cut at.â&#x20AC;? However, the 12-person jury was then shown a police video. In that video, taken about two-and-a-half weeks after Hamillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death, Balbar can be seen placing his right arm above his head as he sucks on a Freezee. Crown prosecutor Iain Currie said a still image taken from the video shows no cut, scar or bandage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no scar, red mark â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing to suggest you were hurt two-and-a-half weeks ago,â&#x20AC;? Currie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re stating is true . . . youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be able to see the cut

on your wrist.â&#x20AC;? Balbar replied that the image quality was too poor to see his healing wound. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see it from six feet away in a security camera,â&#x20AC;? he said. Yesterday marked the final day of evidence in Balbarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-degree murder trial. Justice Elizabeth ArnoldBailey told the jury it will return on Monday, Dec. 8, to hear arguments from Crown and defence. Arnold-Bailey is scheduled to give instructions to the jury on Tuesday, Dec. 9, after which it will begin deliberations to determine whether Balbar is guilty of second-degree murder in Hamillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death. This is Balbarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second trial for the same allegation. His previous verdict was appealed and he was ordered to stand trial again.

Were the budget set today, homeowners in Kamloops would pay an average of $49.60 more in property taxes and city fees in 2015. City council got its first look at the 2015 budget numbers on Tuesday, Dec. 2. Based on current estimates, a homeowner with a property valued at $344,000 would pay $34.60 more in property taxes and $15 more for garbage. Multi-family complexes and commercial sites will pay $12 more for garbage. Streets and environmental services manager Glen Farrow said the increase is due to increased fuel and maintenance costs, higher landfill tipping fees which take effect Jan. 1, 2015, and the continued uncertainty around the Multi Material B.C. program (MMBC).

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

The facilities need more attention. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing some audits, looking at all of the facilities.

â&#x20AC;?

MMBC was supposed to fund much of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recycling costs as part of a new stewardship program for producers of paper and packaging products but, because the city opted in later than some communities, it has yet to receive any money. Farrow said the city is still on the wait list, and MMBC is looking for more corporate money for the program before it takes on new communities. Mayor Peter Milobar said his own attempts to speak to representatives of MMBC hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t given him any better sense of when the city could see funding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we met with them at UBCM we left feeling very optimistic that we were at the top

www.surplusherbys.com

of the list,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I talked to a few other mayors who also left feeling optimistic their communities were at the top of the list.â&#x20AC;? At this stage, additional requests from staff and the public have not been factored into the numbers. Finance director Sally Edwards said council should prepare itself for plenty of asks for city facilities as the budget process moves forward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The facilities need more attention. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing some audits, looking at all of the facilities,â&#x20AC;? she said. As well, Kamloops has nearly $3 million in un-budgeted community works money from the

federal government. The exact amount of additional tax money the city will see from new growth could be somewhat higher than Edwardsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; early projection of $1.2 million. User fees are also likely to play a larger role in the budget conversation this term, with both bus fees and a routine five-year review of parks and recreation fee rates up for discussion early in 2015. Edwards said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in favour of seeing fees take on a larger funding role, because previous surveys of the public show Kamloopsians prefer it to a taxationheavy model. Council will look at its new five-year financial plan at its next meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 9, and have its first discussion around additional budget requests in the new year, on Feb. 3. Setting the final tax rate comes April 14.

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The city of Kamloops is getting good reviews so far on a new coloured screen installed on one of its downtown parking kiosks, but switching the system to the more user-friendly display comes at a cost. David Duckworth, director of corporate and community services, told Kamloops city council one of the new screens is being tested outside Cafe Motivo on Victoria Street. Two more of the screens are due to arrive in the next four to eight weeks for a continued pilot project. While the colour displays are common in Europe, they have not been tested before in North America. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just want to test them to make sure they work well in the winter, and so far so good,â&#x20AC;? said Duckworth. The screens, which also come with easier-to-read keyboards, cost $2,000 per machine. The city has 94 of the solarpowered, pay-by-licence plate kiosks installed in the downtown core. Duckworth said there is the option to install the

new screens on only the busiest kiosks, such as those on Victoria Street. Because the machines are digital, the city can track how often payments are made at each, with some averaging 100 a day and others only seeing six users. Mayor Peter Milobar said though the price for the screens sounds high, the city is well under-budget on the original kiosks, which ended up costing only $600,000 compared to the original cost estimate of more than $1 million. Along with the new equipment, Duckworth said the city is fine-tuning its programming so users are guided through the process of paying for parking on-screen, rather than by instructions posted on the side of the kiosk. After a unanimous vote from city council, parking rates downtown will freeze for the next year as the changes are rolled out. While parking fees were supposed to jump to $1.25 an hour this year, Duckworth said holding the cost of parking at $1 an hour makes sense in light of the technical troubles and equipment-sourcing delays the city has faced in the year

since the first of the kiosks were installed. Those include a four-day failure of some Victoria Street machines due to a SIM card issue, and programming issues that delayed the launch of a pay-by-phone application by many months. Even acquiring the machines was not as simple as the city hoped. While all 94 machines were supposed to be ready by November 2013, some werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t installed until spring of 2014. Duckworth said he hopes the new fixes will put many complaints about the system to rest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a year to listen to what people like, what they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like, so hopefully with the coloured screen we have everything implemented and hit the ground running,â&#x20AC;? he said. Several councillors had their own ideas for improving the system. Coun. Dieter Dudy said the city should consider whether the least-used kiosks are worth keeping,. It could potentially switch those areas to unpaid parking with a two-hour limit. Coun. Marg Spina suggested sticking magnets with pay parking instructions to the side of the kiosks.

AVIAN FLU OUTBREAK HITS B.C. FARMS THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — Avian flu has been discovered at two poultry farms in southwestern British Columbia. Provincial and Canadian officials say the farms are under quarantine and thousands of birds will be killed.

THOUSANDS OF BIRDS TO BE KILLED There are no reports of the disease being transmitted to humans. Canada’s chief veterinary officer, Harpreet Kochhar, said tests were conducted on Nov. 30 after bird deaths were

reported at a turkey farm in Abbotsford and a chicken farm in Chilliwack. The farms are about five miles apart in the Fraser Valley east of Vancouver. The Abbotsford farm

Bank of Canada maintains interest rate ANDY BLATCHFORD

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz is keeping the trend-setting interest rate at one per cent, even as Canada’s recent economic performance has the look of a “broadening recovery.’’ In its interest-rate announcement on Wednesday, Dec. 3, the central bank cautioned improvements to Canada’s economic health have been offset by risks such as sliding oil prices and high household debt. The bank pointed to the balance of risks as the basis for its decision to maintain the rate, which hasn’t budged since September 2010 and has helped keep borrowing rates at historic lows. Looking to the future, the Bank of

Canada’s outlook appeared positive thanks to an improved U.S. economy and despite disappointing global growth. “Canada’s economy is showing signs of a broadening recovery,’’ the bank said in its statement. “Stronger exports are beginning to be reflected in increased business investment and employment. “This suggests that the hoped-for sequence of rebuilding that will lead to balanced and self-sustaining growth may finally have begun.’’ Due to the recent changes, the central bank also said the output gap appears to be smaller than it had predicted in its October monetary policy report. It noted, though, there was still significant slack in the economy. Signs of improvement have appeared in the data since the central bank’s

last interest-rate announcement in October. In that statement, the central bank called underlying inflationary pressures “muted” and said the inflation projection was “roughly balanced.” Since then, the unemployment rate dipped to 6.5 per cent and the pace of GDP growth climbed to 2.8 per cent in the third quarter — half-a-percentagepoint higher than the bank expected. Fresh figures have also pointed to a faster-than-anticipated growth for inflation. The bank acknowledged Wednesday inflation had climbed faster than expected, but it described the increase as “temporary effects” of a lower Canadian dollar and price jumps in certain consumer sectors, such as telecommunications and meat.

Doctor: Accused not schizophrenic THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — Luka Rocco Magnotta’s lawyer is suggesting the Crown’s expert witness cut corners and didn’t look at the full evidence before concluding his client is not schizophrenic.

Science issue to bargaining table THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The union representing government scientists, engineers and professionals says its next contract demands will include an integrity policy to free up muzzled researchers and promote evidence-based policy making. The Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada, which represents 55,000 federal employees, said a scientificintegrity policy is needed to ensure innovation and to protect public health, safety and the environment. The union, known by its acronym PIPSC, said it will seek enforceable standards for international collaboration among scientists, preservation of government science libraries, reinvestment in research programs and the right for federal scientists to speak.

“It’s sad, frankly, that it’s come to this,’’ PIPSC president Debi Daviau said in a release. “But, negotiating provisions in our collective agreements seems to be the only way to get this government’s attention and adopt meaningful, enforceable scientific integrity standards.’’ A spokeswoman for Treasury Board President Tony Clement wouldn’t comment on the state of negotiations, but her response pointedly focused on bargaining issues related to remuneration. “The government’s over-arching goal in these negotiations is to reach agreements on total public-service compensation that are fair and reasonable to both employees and to taxpayers,’’ Stephanie Rea said in an email. “The government will continue to respect bargaining agents and the process by not negotiating through the press.’’

OTTAWA — One of the women behind a successful court challenge of Canada’s old prostitution law is taking issue with the date its controversial replacement will take effect. Bill C-36, which was passed last month, goes into effect on Saturday, Dec. 6 — the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. That’s the anniversary of the 1989 shooting deaths of 14 women at Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal. Valerie Scott said the new law only encourages violence against women and continues to put lives at risk — and she called it “sick’’ and “twisted’’ that it takes effect on Saturday. The Supreme Court agreed with Scott and other advocates when it struck down Canada’s prostitution laws last year on the grounds they violated the rights of sex workers to safety and security. An official in Justice Minister Peter MacKay’s office said the government has no control over when the new law would take effect. Bill C-36, known as the Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act, criminalizes the purchase of sex, but provides legal immunity to those who sell it — a measure the government said protects prostitutes.

Yukon chiefs say minister insulted, dismissed them BOB WEBER

THE CANADIAN PRESS

First Nations in Yukon say federal Aboriginal Affairs Minister Bernard Valcourt insulted and dismissed them at a meeting to discuss their concerns that planned changes to environmental assessments in the territory give too much power to Ottawa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We came down here on the invitation of the minister to discuss this and he totally insulted our First Nations, he totally insulted our agreements and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Business as usual. Too bad what you think,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Ruth Massie, grand chief of the Council of Yukon First Nations. Massieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remarks yesterday (Dec. 3) came as a Northwest Territories aboriginal band appeared in court in Yellowknife to fight similar moves the Conservative government has planned for that territory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same thing,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Massie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The minister wants to have delegation of authority over our environmental process.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Assessments in Yukon, developed as part of treaty negotiations, are conducted by an independent

board with representatives from the federal government, the territory and the Council of Yukon First Nations. If a federal bill is passed, that board would be replaced with one led by a chairman appointed by Ottawa. It would be subject to binding political direction, which could come from either the federal or territorial government. The legislation would also limit the amount of time groups would have to request more information from a proponent, although it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t limit the time companies would have to answer. It also proposes removing the requirement for a new assessment when companies change their project. The federal government said the intention is to produce more predictable and timely reviews, reduce duplication, strengthen environmental protection and provide meaningful aboriginal consultation. But, First Nations have long opposed the amendments, which they say were drafted in secret after a meeting between the government and five industry groups. Massie said she

and her fellow chiefs hoped to make headway with Valcourt in a face-to-face meeting on Tuesday. Instead, she said, Valcourt told them he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to consult them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We went to actually talk to him, hoping,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Massie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter to him. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too bad about your treaties. This is what we unilaterally have decided to do and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Yukon Chamber of Mines has said it supports the proposed amendments, but at least one miner in the territory is urging caution. Vancouver-based Casino Mining, currently developing a copper, gold, molybdenum and silver mine north of Whitehorse, urged Valcourt to ease off. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Casino believes that if the [assessment process] has the full support of all levels of government, it will provide greater certainty for the minerals industry,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; wrote company president Paul West-Sells in a letter to the minister. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We encourage Canada, Yukon and Yukon First Nation governments to engage, work collaboratively and find a solution to the outstanding issues with Bill S-6.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Government wants soldiersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; suit tossed highest court to throw out a class-action lawsuit by Canadian Forces members injured in Afghanistan

THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A federal government lawyer is asking B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

who say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been stripped of benefits. The Attorney General of Canada is appealing a B.C.

Supreme Court decision from September 2013 that ruled the lawsuit could proceed for the soldiers who

say the new compensation regime is unfair. Current and former members contend the

new Veterans Charter is unconstitutional â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like that the lifetime disability pension for disabled soldiers is being replaced with lumpsum payments. A government lawyer is disputing the soldiersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; claims that a â&#x20AC;&#x153;social covenantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; exists between the public and government that ultimately means a duty is owed to the soldiers based on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;honour of the Crown.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Paul Vickery, a law-

yer for The Attorney General of Canada, told the court the government acknowledges the suffering and that veterans deserve respect, but noted the new regime was approved by a unanimous vote of Parliament. One of the plaintiffs, retired Maj. Mark Campbell, lost his legs in a 2008 Taliban ambush and said he believes the government is trying to save a buck on the backs of veterans.

OLDEST CASE OF CANCER MAY HAVE BEEN FOUND SASKATOON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A study by a group of researchers that includes a Saskatchewan scientist has found what may be the oldest case of human cancer in the world. Bones of a man exhumed in Siberia that date back 4,500 years show he had lung or prostate cancer that spread throughout his body. Angela Lieverse, a bioarchaeologist at the University of Saskatchewan, said there have been similar discoveries in older remains. But, she added, those involved unconfirmed cancers or benign tumours. The latest study was published yesterday (Dec. 3) in the scientific journal PLOS One. Lieverse said the evidence refutes a widely held belief that cancer is a modern medical phenomenon. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Canadian Press

ing Broncos’ general manager Jan Antons about the sensation, the decision was made to sideline Evan. The next day, Peter received an alarming call

n a span of six days, Evan Mutrie went from being a football player to being on life support, paralyzed from the neck down after contracting a rare virus. “I love the guy and I miss him and I want him back,” Evan’s father, Peter Mutrie, told KTW. “We’ve got a young guy who was a vibrant, physical, go-for-it kind of guy. Now, he expressed to me, like, ‘Who am I? This is not who I am.’ “He doesn’t even know how to see himself today, next month or next year.” The Valleyview secondary graduate contracted an obscure, paralytic form of Enterovirus D68 this past summer. The scientific database on the strain is limited, leaving doctors in the dark about Evan’s prognosis. He no longer has the virus, but the damage has been done, with inflammation in the spinal-cord and neck area having led to paralysis. Full recovery is not out of the question, though neither is quadriplegia. Doctors don’t know how he contracted the virus. Evan was in full gear, ready to play for the Kamloops Broncos against the Langley Rams in B.C. Football Conference action on Aug. 31. Before the game, he noticed a funny feeling in his right hand. He couldn’t clench his fist. After inform-

days later, paralyzed from the neck down, breathing only with the help of a machine. “From Sunday to Friday, he went from being dressed

to play football to being functionally immobile,” said Peter, who dropped out of the race for the local federal Liberal nomination to care for his son. “He had his 20th birthday just the other day. We have a 20-year-old son, a highly physical guy in his past life, now bedridden and we don’t know what the outcome will be.” Evan was hospitalized in Vancouver on Sept. 5 and communicated through blinking his eyes — two for yes, one for no — and other techniques while a battery of tests were performed. Peter said the next three weeks were excruciatingly tough on the family, which waited for what seemed like forever for a diagnosis. Only Evan knows what that time was like for him. “His courage has always been amazing, but I would have to say that, emotionally, spiritually and mentally, he’s struggling to maintain his sense of optimism,” Peter said. “We can talk, it’s very nice for you and I, but we’re

not in those shoes. “It could be a long night if you’re not sleeping, sitting there staring at the walls. It can be a very long night.” Eventually, a saliva sample proved positive for Enterovirus D68. Doctors also performed a tracheotomy and he is now able to speak. Evan was moved back to RIH at the end of September and there were glimmers of hope during a five-week stay, with traces of movement in his extremities leading to optimism. There has been little encouragement since then. The Broncos’ defensive back has been moved back to Vancouver, where he is receiving world-class care at the G.F. Strong Centre, which specializes in spinalcord rehabilitation. “We’re all still reeling from it,” said Duncan Olthuis, who coached the Broncos last season. “I know he’s in a good place now, down in Vancouver. It will take a long time to recover from that, but I’m hopeful that he can come back from it and be the normal kid that he was. “It’s tough to wrap your head around what happened.” G.F. Strong is the same facility that nursed former premier Mike Harcourt back to health after he fell off a deck and was seriously injured. Peter said his son would likely be dead, if it weren’t for the Canadian healthcare system. See ‘IT’S TOUGH,’ page A20

However, there is a lot to learn about about the virus. “The medical community, for all its power, has kept him alive, thank you, thank you, but they don’t have the data to know what to do here,” said Peter, executive director of the Kamloops Child Care Development Centre. “Evan is a 20-yearold young man now trapped in his body, hopefully not for much longer, but what other children are out there with similar conditions? What can we do about this?” Peter has made a plea to doctors who have dealt with similar cases to get together and exchange information, to improve the

research database for future patients. “As a parent, you make things right for your children. You look out for your children,” Peter said. “As a child, you look to your parents to fix it. Well, we’re not able to fix it at this point — we as a family and we as a medical community. “Evan is not the only young man in this mess.” The latest strain of EV-D68 has been linked to a handful of recent deaths in the U.S., including a 21-monthold girl who died in October in Michigan. “It remains to be seen whether this virus that’s circulating in North America right now, whether it’s a new clade, or whether

Evan. Three months into the ordeal, the family is still waiting for a prognosis, hoping for answers at a meeting with doctors scheduled for later this week. He does his best to focus on the positives, “on the light,” as he put it, but Peter can’t help his mind from wandering to the shadows. “Without a little bit of discipline, without a little sense of positivity or without a little help from my friends, there are dark places where I can find myself,” Peter said. “There’s no handbook on this. It’s an unimaginable circumstance to deal with and, really, it’s about my son. It’s not about me. “It’s about a 20-yearold man who’s trapped in his body right now and scared stiff, understandably so. For his brother and his sister and his parents . . . what do you do with this?” For now, they wait, hope and ask for prayers. “Be aware that there are surprises out there that you could never prepare yourself for,” Peter said. “Let’s be kind to each other and give our children an extra hug.”

Late heroics boost Blazers MARTY HASTINGS

They started poorly again, but the Kamloops Blazers are looking to ride the momentum of a comeback victory over the Saskatoon Blades into a pair of WHL matchups at Interior Savings Centre. “After the four-game losing streak, it was nice to get one and, hopefully, we can carry some confidence into the weekend,” said Matt Revel, who scored with 20 seconds to play in the third period on Tuesday, Dec. 2, lifting the Blazers to a 4-3 victory over his former team, the Saskatoon Blades. Kamloops is hosting the Prince Albert Raiders on Friday, Dec, 5, and the Prince George Cougars on Saturday, Dec. 6. Game time both nights is 7 p.m. Revel’s gamewinning marker on Tuesday came 17 seconds after Michael Fora’s shot ricocheted wildly into the Blades’ net to tie the game 3-3. The 19-year-old Swiss defenceman’s slapper cracked off a shin pad, careened into a helmet and then looped over goaltender Nik Amundrud

and into the net. “It’s nice to have a couple bounces go our way for once,” said Revel, who came to Kamloops in a deal with Saskatoon in January. The Blue and Orange found themselves in a 3-0 hole in the first period, marking the third straight game they’ve given up at least three goals in the opening frame. “We’ve had bad starts and we did it again last night,” Revel, an 18-year-old Abbotsford product, said yesterday (Dec. 3). “But, we never gave up and we played right to the end.” Luke Harrison also tallied on Tuesday, notching his sixth goal of the campaign. Connor Ingram, 17, returned to winning ways between the pipes for Kamloops, stopping 25 shots in the victory. He’s taken an edge on 16-year-old Cole Kehler in the competition for the No. 1 job. Revel’s goal, his second of the night, was made just a little bit sweeter because of the opponent. “It felt unreal, especially against my old team,” he said. “It was nice to see some smiles around the room again.”

Sandhu done, others to BCHL as cut-down day passes ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Jason Sandhu experiment is over in Kamloops. The Kamloops Storm parted ways with the 18-year-old goaltender on Monday, Dec. 1 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a day known around the juniorhockey world as â&#x20AC;&#x153;cutdown day.â&#x20AC;? The roster deadline saw the Storm, along with all other teams in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League and the junior A B.C. Hockey League, forced to reduce the number of players they were committed to, or had â&#x20AC;&#x153;carded,â&#x20AC;? to 25 from 40. The team decided not to use one of its 25 cards on Sandhu.

Goaltender Jason Sandhu played his final game for the Storm on the weekend.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We thought Jason needed a fresh start,â&#x20AC;? said Storm general manager Barry Dewar. In 17 games, Sandhu

that might be the most telling of his time with the Storm is his .897 save percentage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our team is not built for a goaltender such as Jason. He wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t getting enough shots and, I think, he has more talent than he demonstrated,â&#x20AC;? Dewar said. With the move, the Storm are now back to having just one goaltender â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 17-year-old Bailey De Palma. De Palma has also slotted into 17 games for the Storm this season, recording eight wins and five losses en route to a 2.99 goals-

against average and an .884 save percentage. The Storm will continue to make use of goaltenders from Kamloopsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; midget tier 1 club until they are able to find a permanent replacement for Sandhu. This weekend, Spencer Eschyschyn will be with the team. In January, there will be another cutdown day, in which the number of cards will be reduced to 22 and rosters will be frozen.

Handful of Storm to do BCHL stints?

Coupled with the departure of Sandhu

will be the short-term loss of a few other Storm players. Defenceman Cameron Trott will play with the Salmon Arm Silverbacks of the BCHL this weekend, as the club faces the West Kelowna Warriors in a home-and-home on Friday, Dec. 5, and Saturday, Dec. 6. Dewar said about five other players are still in limbo, but may see time with some junior A clubs over the next few games, including with the Prince George Spruce Kings. He declined to name the players as the moves havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet been confirmed. Most, if not all, will return to the Storm after a few games. The GM said he has mixed emotions when players leave but, in the end, the Storm are in the business of helping kids get to the next level. Head coach Ed Patterson said it is â&#x20AC;&#x153;awesomeâ&#x20AC;? to see guys headed to junior A. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re finally getting rewarded for playing well,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done a fantastic job this year and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to see them get rewarded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Also, on the other hand, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want the other guys to get lazy

Disappointment in Williams Lake

The Stormâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Williams Lake showcase game didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go as the club had hoped. The team assessed the turnout at the Cariboo Memorial Recreation Complex as â&#x20AC;&#x153;disappointing,â&#x20AC;? with only about 200 people filling the arenaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 700plus seats to watch the Nov. 28 game between the 100 Mile House Wranglers and the Storm. The Wranglers won 4-2. Earlier this season, another KIJHL showcase weekend in Quesnel had a similarly poor turnout. Dewar said poor weather and driving conditions the night of the game likely contributed to the disappointing attendance.

Hockey world mourns loss of Canadiens icon Jean Beliveau his time in management, has his name on the trophy 17 times. Beliveau’s death

came as the Habs were mourning another former player. Gilles Tremblay, who won

four Stanley Cups as a linemate with Beliveau in the 1960s, died on Nov. 26 at the age of 75.

It has been a sombre time for the hockey world, which also lost former player, coach

and executive Pat Quinn last week. There is also concern for “Mr. Hockey” Gordie Howe,

who is in failing health following a stroke in late October. — The Canadian Press

The sport of hockey was “elevated forever” by Jean Beliveau’s “character, dignity and class,” NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said yesterday (Dec. 3), as Canadians mourned the iconic player’s death at the age of 83. “No record book can capture, no image can depict, no statue can convey the grandeur of the remarkable Jean Beliveau, whose elegance and skill on the ice earned the admiration of the hockey world while his humility and humanity away from the rink earned the love of fans everywhere,” Bettman said in a statement. “Mr. Beliveau was a formidable presence and his departure leaves an immeasurable void.” The Canadiens reported Beliveau’s death just before 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Even at that late hour, with some teams on flights home after games and others out West still in action, there was an outpouring of sadness as the hockey world mourned the loss of “Le Gros Bill,” considered one of the sport’s true gentlemen. Prime Minister Stephen Harper, an avid hockey fan, offered condolences on behalf of Canadians. “Mr. Beliveau will be remembered as a hockey giant who inspired a nation with his outstanding skill, humility and pure love of the game,” he said in a statement. “His legacy lives on in the records he set, the legions of hockey players that he inspired, and the deep love he shared with his home province of Quebec.” Mr. Beliveau, as so many called him to honour his class and stature, won the Hart Trophy as NHL MVP twice and once captured the Art Ross Trophy as the leading scorer and the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP. In 1,125 games, he recorded 1,219 points on 507 goals and 712 assists. The Trois-Rivieres, Que., native was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1972. Beliveau won the Stanley Cup as a player 10 times and, including

THURSDAY, December 4, 2014

CLARA JOSEPHINE McMILLAN Clara passed away peacefully in Kamloops, BC, on November 24, 2014, at the age of 90. Clara is survived by her son Randy (Terry) from Kamloops, her daughterin-law Betty (Rae) from Coquitlam, her brother-inlaw Russ Ellis (Thelma) from Denver and her grandchildren Dustin, Logan, Laura, Megan, great-grandchildren Emily and Delilah. Clara was predeceased by her husband Ron, her son Rae, her parents Kristion and Pauline, her brothers Alvin, Clifford, Wilhelm, Palmer and Kenneth and her sisters Kristine, Thelma and Vera. Clara was born and raised on a farm near McCord, Saskatchewan. During World War II, Clara, like many young women, worked in the war factories in Toronto. In 1945 Clara moved to Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, and in 1950 she married the love of her life, Ron. They had two sons Rae and Randy, and through Ron’s work as a truck driver the family lived in Moose Jaw, Edmonton, Dawson Creek, Kamloops and Regina. Over the years, Clara worked as a hairdresser in Moose Jaw and worked in ladies wear at Sears and Eaton’s in Regina. In 1988, Ron and Clara retired to Westbank and shortly thereafter back to Kamloops. Clara’s greatest joy was visiting family in person, on the phone, or when she would go on road trips with Ron and her family.

TERESA SCHROEDER (née ENSING)

ANNE LOUISE CHRISTOPHERSON (KEMBALL)

December 31, 1938 – November 29, 2014

A wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, friend and more.

Teresa Schroeder passed away peacefully at Ponderosa Lodge. She was born to Jantienus and Greta Ensing in the Netherlands. In 1957 her mother and family immigrated to Ontario, Canada. Teresa attended Reformed Bible College in Grand Rapids, Michigan. After graduation she accepted a teaching position in a Christian School in Houston, BC. Later she moved to Surrey and eventually became a receptionist in a doctor’s office in Burnaby. Teresa and Walter met in 1984 and that grew into a wonderful friendship. Teresa and Walter were married on July 8, 1989. They lived in Burnaby for 18 years, before moving to Kamloops where they built their home. Teresa always saw a need where she could help others. Teresa is sadly missed by her husband, Walter Schroeder. Teresa is mourned by her brothers Jerry (Jane) Ensing, John (Bonnie) Ensing, Hank (Willma) Ensing, and George (Manja) Ensing. She is also dearly missed by brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law Paul and Ruth Schroeder, Lydia and Helmut Nickel, Hedy and Neil Klassen, and many nieces and nephews. She is predeceased by her father, mother and one brother. There will be a visitation at Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services ®, 604 Tranquille Road, from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm on Friday, December 5, 2014. A graveside service will take place at 11:00 am on Saturday, December 6, 2014, at the Hillside Cemetery followed by a Funeral Service at 12:00 noon at Summit Drive Church, 1975 Summit Drive, with Pastor Harry Bicknell officiating. In lieu of flowers, please make donations in memory of Teresa Schroeder to the Pregnancy Care Centre, Suite 200-535 Tranquille Road, Kamloops, BC, V2B 3H5

Clara and family would like to extend a thank you to all the people and staff that crossed Clara’s life at the Kamloops Renaissance, Ponderosa Lodge and the Kamloops Senior’s Village. By request there is to be no service and please do not send flowers.

Arrangements entrusted to Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services 250-554-2324 Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.myalternatives.ca

A special thanks to Dr. Dong and the caring staff at the Kamloops Hospice.

At this time of year, we feel our losses most keenly. Please join us to remember those whom we have loved and lost...

Born November 21, 1944 in Derbyshire England, Anne passed away, surrounded by her family on November 28, 2014 after a hard fought battle with cancer. She leaves her husband Eldon, daughters Rebecca (Clint) and Megan, son Douglas (Laura) and four grandchildren Morgan, Kaitlynn, Ty and Rachel. Also remembered by sisters Mary (Gordon) and Elizabeth (Dave). Anne moved to Canada in 1968. After teaching in Clinton and Clearwater, she became the Home Ec teacher at St. Ann’s, sharing her love of cooking with hundreds of students before her retirement in 2005. Anne and Eldon travelled extensively, including trips to Europe, Russia, China, India, and the highlight for Anne, the Galapagos and South America. Anne was very active in Girl Guides, first as a young girl, and later as a leader, trainer and honourary life member. At both the local and provincial level, she helped organize everything from local camps to international trips. Despite her illness, Anne was incredibly happy to be able to help plan and participate in this summer’s SOAR camp, which brought Girl Guides to Enderby from around the world. The family would like to thank Dr. Proctor, Dr. Wiltshire and the nurses on the 8th floor of RIH. A celebration of life will be held Thursday, December 4, 2014 at Hal Rogers Centre, 2025 Summit Dr at 1:30 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Hematology Research and Clinical Trials Unit at Vancouver General Hospital through the VGH Foundation would be greatly appreciated.

Anne was born to the late George Kemball & Helen Ordway in Cranbrook on July 2, 1938. She is survived by her husband Glen of 58 years, four children (Michael, John, Stephen and Caryn), brothers, sisters and many grandchildren. She loved to cook and to spend time with her family and friends. She was an avid fisherman and many times outfished her husband. Anne liked to celebrate life and it was her wish that there be no service. Please just take a moment to think of her and wish her well on the next phase of her journey.

The Time Is Now

(Author Unknown)

If you are ever going to love me, Love me now, while I can know The sweet and tender feelings Which from true affection flow. Love me now While I am living. Do not wait until I’m gone And then have it chiseled in marble, Sweet words on ice-cold stone. If you have tender thoughts of me, Please tell me now. If you wait until I am sleeping, Never to awaken, There will be death between us, And I won’t hear you then. So, if you love me, even a little bit, Let me know it while I am living So I can treasure it.

Two locations to choose from: First Memorial Funeral Service: Schoening Funeral Service:

#8-177 Tranquille Rd. Kamloops - Mon. Dec. 8 at 7 pm 513 Seymour St., Kamloops - Thurs. Dec. 11 at 7 pm

No cost. Please RSVP to 250-374-1454. Everyone Welcome!

Her Journey’s Just Begun Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun. Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away. And think of her as living, In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much. E. Brenneman

Introducing Kamloops This Week’s newest column. Reporter Andrea Klassen will share her palate for all things beer every second Thursday in the Cuisine section. You can also find her beer blog online at badrider.reviews. Cheers!

Red Collar hits all notes, but beware ‘danger’ beer

hen my editor suggested running posts from my twice-weekly beer blog Bad Rider in Kamloops This Week, I knew I had to go big for my inaugural review in these pages. Lucky for me, then, that Kamloops’ own craft-brewing scene just got a major expansion via Red Collar Brewing. The long-held dream of former Noble Pig brewmaster David Beardsell, it opened in October in the former Rivers building at 355 Lansdowne St. and has been slowly expanding its roster of brews.

When several members of KTW and associated friends hit the brewery’s tasting room on a recent Saturday night, the bar was up to six: Marzen, Mild, Dubbel, Tripel, an IPA and an India Pale Lager. Obviously, the only thing to do was taste them all. Beardsell, now on his third brewing project in Kamloops, said his new brewery could produce up to 20 times that of his previous setup at the Pig, but most of the space will be used for storing a much smaller run of product. “We want to produce beers we never have to filter and have lots of time to sit in the cold room,” he said.

The Holidays Are

The goal is a beer with body and, in that area, Red Collar has hit its target clear on. These are rich, fill-you-up beers with clear, distinctive notes. While no brew got particularly bad reviews, there were some standouts — and a true star. For fans of dark, strong and fairly still beers, the Dubbel is your choice. This dark, 6.3 per cent ABV beer offered a flavour of sweet, strong coffee, but with a lighter mouthfeel than a stout. The biggest surprise of the night for me was Mild — a 3.5 per cent ABV beer nearly as dark as the Dubbel, but with a refreshing, hoppy finish I associate with some of my favourite pale ales. Several tasters who don’t con-

sider themselves fans of hops said they’d be willing to order this one again. Red Collar’s IPL (5.2 ABV) fared well with those of us at the table who like a hoppy beer, but who need something to break up the flavour of a traditional IPA. This one had some notes of pine and a bit of sweetness to round out the mix. But, the beer that stole hearts at our table was the nine per cent Tripel. Unlike Red Collar’s other beers, this powerhouse arrives in smaller glasses — and for good reason. For a beer with this kind of punch, Tripel doesn’t taste particularly boozy. With a rich mouthfeel and a bright, sweet flavour, I

would have assumed an ABV only a little higher than your average summer ale. As the member of our tasting group, who downed half his Tripel in about 15 minutes, unaware of the alcohol content, can attest, there’s a reason we ended up nicknaming this the “danger beer.” Red Collar also has a few more brews on the way, including a Christmas Bock set to launch this month and a Doppelbock, set to debut in early 2015. A small, early preview courtesy of Beardsell suggests they’ll be worth checking out on maturity — but, with both beers clocking in at about 8 per cent ABV, only after a ride home is pre-arranged.

KTW shares Operation Red Nose experience Jessica Wallace

Volunteering for Operation Red Nose can be summed up easily: Hanging out with friends, driving around and eating McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. So, naturally, I felt like I was 16 again â&#x20AC;&#x201D; minus the curfew and the good deeds. Our shift began at 8:30 p.m. with training at the Desert Gardens Community Centre. I was designated driver, which meant hopping into clientsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; vehicles and driving them home alongside navigator Jessica Klymchuk, while Adam Williams lent us rides in his vehicle. Because McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is a sponsor, volunteers get free snacks and coffee throughout their shift, so we hung out at the Valleyview location until our first call. It already seemed like a good gig because we got to spend time together outside of work and, well, there was free food. We waited it out for our first call, which gave us the chance to chat with other volunteers. They shared stories about fun, giving back, camaraderie and the tradition of counting down the clock at McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve before a flurry of calls come in shortly past midnight. By the time we had our first call â&#x20AC;&#x201D; just after 11 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we were excited and eager to take part. What wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fun was getting out of Adamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warm car and into an ice-cold one that had been sitting in â&#x20AC;&#x201C;20 C weather. I had to laugh, not only because I knew one of the passengers, but, also, because I had to show off my stickshifting abilities in an unfamiliar car. It was a bit of a jerky ride, to say the least, embarrassing because the passengers werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t very intoxicated, but we more than made up for it with a stop for our passengers at the McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drive-thru. Being that it was the first weekend

Operation Red Nose drivers are available Fridays and Saturdays this month, as well as on New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve, from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. each night. Call 250-372-5110 for a ride.

Operation Red Nose opened for the season, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t very busy. We had one more call that night by the time our shift ended, in which we drove a man from On the Rocks Pub out to Brock. He was fairly intoxicated and gave us a laugh when he thought Jess and I were twins, being that we had the same name and answered a couple of questions in unison. Even funnier was when he tried to pick each of us up. We gave him a hard time for the last-ditch attempt, but it was all in harmless fun that left us with a few laughs and stories to share with Adam between calls while hanging out in â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you guessed it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. By the end of the night, we were freezing, exhausted and had pulled in about $60 in donations for our two rides. But, it was neat being on the other side of it all. Because, on any other given Friday night, I could be hanging out with friends and eating McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at 2 a.m., but in need of my own safe ride home.

Jessica Klymchuk We left fully pre-

pared, with our brightred vests, gloves and scarves secured and our Red Nose paperwork and phone in hand. Team 12, a.k.a Team KTW, was ready to kick the operation into high gear â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we even had a Twitter hashtag going (#rednose, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested). I was the navigator, so I was in charge of taking calls from headquarters, collecting donations and recording client information. Easy enough, considering the dispatcher requested all the details from the caller and forwarded it over in a simple text message. I was impressed with how organized the system was and callers waited a mere 10 minutes until we arrived.

A trip out to Dallas and 20 chicken nuggets satisfied the first request. A couple of selfies with a more intoxicated passenger followed, along with the abrupt realization he had never sat in the back seat of his own car. Apparently, it was quite the revelation. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure which part of volunteering was more rewarding â&#x20AC;&#x201D; knowing the partiers were getting home safely or collecting donations to support local athletes. Either way, I never thought Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be so excited to play the designated-driver role from 8:30 p.m. to 3 a.m. I also got free French fries, which is all a 22-year-old really wants on a Friday night anyway.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d take part again and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll definitely be calling for the service at least once this holiday season. Do the same and get home safe. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for a great cause.

Adam Williams

They tell the stories like badges of honour. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the yearly chaos the morning of New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day, when they shuttle home steadily, sometimes until 6 a.m.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the times when donations have been huge â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a person or two has been known to drop a $100 bill in exchange for their safe arrival. But the favourites, the ones that make the eyes of volunteers light up, are the times theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve driven a clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vehicle through an RCMP checkpoint. The nights when Mounties see their red vests and wave them through, as the client in the back seat thanks his or her lucky stars. Those are the best nights. Yes, Kamloops really has a good thing going with Operation Red Nose and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all because of the volunteers. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what struck me as I embarked on a night of volunteering with Team KTW â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Red Nose has put together a great group. What more can be said about a collection of individuals who, each and every year, spends five consecutive weekends and

New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve shuttling around those of us who have chosen to imbibe. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a noble endeavour. I had a great time volunteering for the service. I enjoyed hearing the stories, hanging out with friends, eating at McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, driving leisurely around our fair city and playing hangman at two in the morning as we waited for our next call. But, I said it a number of times that night, as much fun as it was, I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it every weekend. These people do and they love it. It has been said a number of times here â&#x20AC;&#x201D; call Operation Red Nose the next time youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out. But, when you arrive at your destination, take a moment to shower some of your loaded love on the people who got you there. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the ones who keep Operation Red Nose going. Put a smile on their faces.

Trews’ song means more JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

With playing over in my mind, the lyrics seem appropriate in reviewing The Trews. It’s unfathomable to think how close you could get to the famed Canadian band at Cactus Jack’s Night Club on Monday night (Dec. 1).

I can’t imagine Vancouver fans — who saw The Trews in the Commodore Ballroom a couple of nights before the Cactus Jack’s show — enjoyed the same intimacy as was experienced by the full house in Kamloops. The Caspians of Kamloops kicked things off around 8:30 p.m. and were followed by Kingston, Ont.’s rockers Glorious Sons,

KTW

REVIEW who passionately — and sweatily — flung hair in time to music, while pumping up the crowd. The Trews started their own set with a hit from their self-titled album, which was released earlier this year, and for which their tour is named, Rise in the Wake. They played several songs from that album throughout the night and hit a sentimental note, not only with their song The Sentimentalist, but with Highway of Heroes. The lyrics, “Carry me home, down The Highway of Heroes. People above, with their

flags flying low . . .” seemed to have a deeper meaning since the death of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo. Glorious Sons joined The Trews toward the end of the set for a full stage of performers — one of whom played in his socks — for the crowd pleaser Poor Old Broken Hearted Me, from their last album. After seeing Big Wreck and, now, The Trews at CJs since the bar’s renovation, I would recommend the venue for intimate and quality mid-sized shows where you can have a drink while enjoying the show. A venue like that in Kamloops? Well, like I said, we’re living in the age of miracles.

The classic Noel Coward satirical comedy tells the story of an author researching the occult who brings a medium to his house to conduct a seance. The medium, Madame Arcati, is apparently the real deal, managing to summon from the grave author Charles Condomineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first wife, Elvira â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but only Charles can see her. Elvira decides to

Entertainment

BRIEFS stay a while, creating havoc, confusion and a competition between the living and dead as each wife tries to win Charles. To avoid a spoiler, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just say someone dies, leading to a double dose of otherworldly craziness. The cast includes Andrew Bezooyen as Charles, Kimberly Arklie as his wife, Ruth, Shannon Collum as his wife, Elvira, Jessie Thomas as Madame Arcati, along with

Laurel Brewer and Darcy Gorrill as two friends also invited to sit in on the seance. Marta Oraniewicz plays Edith, the Condominesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; maid.

DRIVEWAY

Making flat tires a thing of the past ROB ROTHWELL

DRIVEWAY

The rush of air escaping a tire is not a sound one hopes to hear deep in the outback. According to a tireindustry study, 84 per cent of tire failures incurred off-road are due to sidewall puncture, often rendering tires irreparable. So, BF Goodrich has done something about this deflating fact. High in Canada’s rugged Rocky Mountains is where they chose to launch their revised KO line of all-terrain tires. Termed KO2, the new boots bring forth many improvements to a tire already considered by many in the offroading community to be the benchmark. That reputation was earned through a longstanding commitment to off-road racing and motorsports — winning the Baja 1000 more than all other tire manufacturers combined — and its advances in tire technology since introducing the first all-terrain tire back in 1976. The tire manufacturer claims that the KO2 sidewall is 20 per cent stronger than the original KO tire and incorporates an advanced deflection system designed to prevent protruding objects, such as pointy branches, from snagging and splitting the sidewall. A handful of crusty auto journalists, more used to testing cars than tires, ventured to Lake Louise in the Rockies to put the tires through a reality test. BF Goodrich supplied a series of offroad exercises in which we pushed the limits of the KO2s, all of which were 20-inch 55-series tires shod upon new Chevrolet Silverado 4X4 pickups. It’s important to note that these

weren’t extra-large offroad tires, they were typical replacements. The highway portion of our drive delivered a pleasant surprise; the KO2s produced much less road noise than expected given their heavy lug-based tread pattern. While likely not as quiet as the originalequipment tires on Chevy’s latest Silverado, their whine was modest and unobtrusive. Forty minutes after departing the majesty of Lake Louise and its aqua-blue waters, we exited Banff National Park and headed for private testing lands. Moving from tarmac, we encountered just about every conceivable surface one might face during an off-road excursion. Despite my best effort to burrow the KO2s deep into a mud pit, the putty-like ooze never overwhelmed them. With a little throttle prodding, the tires managed to clear away the earthen oatmeal, finding footing enough to pull 5,500 pounds of truck out of the quagmire with ease. Other testing locales included a rock crawl, steep ascents/descents, and a log pit with sharp upward-pointing knots. The latter reputed for inflicting sudden death on typical trail tires. Sidewalls are vulnerable, and the weakest part of a typical tire. A truck was parked atop a pointy knot. Despite the pointy knot digging into the sidewall with extreme pressure, the tire never succumbed to the silent killer in the bush. Our day in the Rockies saw 20 Silverados — in other words 80 KO2s — performing exercise after exercise with zero failures. No flats and no stuck trucks.

DRIVEWAY

Subaru impressive on Interior ice, snow ZACK SPENCER

DRIVEWAY

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about gaining traction for Subaru â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not just on the pavement, but also in terms of sales. For Subaru, traction and sales are related. When the automaker decided to switch its entire lineup of cars to all-wheel drive (AWD) back in 1995, the company never looked back. That was also the year Subaru introduced the Outback sport wagon. Back then, sales were roughly 4,000 per year. This year, Subaru is on track to sell over 40,000 units â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an impressive accomplishment. To highlight Subaruâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest Impreza compact sedan and hatchback, Subaru needed a location that could show off the vehicle on dry roads and in winter conditions. The Okanagan was chosen for the wonderful twisting roads through wine country, and the snow-on-demand at Big White Ski Resort, and the setting was perfect.

Looks

Earlier this year Subaru intro-

duced the WRX, higher performance, Impreza-based sedan to accolades for that vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s handling, power and design. It could be argued that Subaru has refreshed the outside of this new 2015 Impreza with WRX â&#x20AC;&#x153;light.â&#x20AC;? The new front grille, headlamps, air intakes and wheel options all make a much bolder statement. Sold as a sedan or a hatchback, both cars now have a sharper, more defined look. But Subaru also wanted to make a statement with what cannot be seen â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the way the car is put together. One of the main areas of focus is sound insulation and reduced cabin noise. Thicker front and side glass is now used, along with wheel-well sound insulation, thicker door seals and under carpet baffling. Not the kind of advancements that get noticed initially, but they are welcome.

around Kelowna, experiencing the first blast of Arctic air, the place is just as magical at this time of year. Stories of the wine pickers getting ready for the ice-wine harvest makes it as appealing and delicious as ever. The Impreza had a similar onedimensional attitude before this new model arrived. Yes, it is one of the most practical designs, with big doors that

Inside

The Okanagan is one of those spots that is defined by summer; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about the hot, dry lakeside vacation. But, after three days in and

make getting in and out a breeze. The huge windows make outward visibility impressive, but the car lacked sophistication. For 2015, Subaru has done a good job of remedying the situation. The radio head unit now looks like a polished, integrated feature, replacing what looked like an afterthought. There is a standard 6.2-inch

unit or a larger seven-inch model for cars equipped with navigation. A backup camera is now standard equipment, along with Bluetooth connectivity, heated seats are standard on all but the base model.

and then getting to push the Impreza as hard as it would allow on a snow-covered handling course, gives a great sense of confidence in the car’s AWD system. Traction is not an issue, the limit is really only defined by the type of tires the car is equipped with. For ultimate bite, a good set of winter tires along with the AWD system is impressive. The 148hp 2.0L 4-cylinder engine is carried over from the last car, but now it is a Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (PZEV). The Environmental Protection Agency in the United States claims it is the “cleanest gas car on the market,” helping to reduce smog-forming pollutants. Other changes include a re-worked suspension and steering. The springs and dampening have been adjusted to reduce bouncing over big bumps and the steering ratio is quicker. This, along with the much quieter interior ,makes this a good cruising car but the steering lacks feedback and, under hard cornering, the car tends to under steer. The engine, too, is best suited for cruising; climbing mountain roads strained it at times. The good news is that enthusiast drivers have the excellent WRX as an option.

The 2015 Impreza is all about small changes to an already good car. The continuously variable transmission (CVT) now has a thicker casing for quieter operation and features pre-set steps to help mimic a conventional automatic. Manual transmission owners will be pleased to know all trim levels can be equipped with a stick, but it is only a five-speed. On the top two trim levels the Impreza can be equipped with EyeSight, Subaru’s collision-mitigation system that can detect objects

Verdict and pedestrians and will brake the car to a stop if the driver takes no action.
