Kamloops mayoral candidate charged with assault CROWN ALLEGES PEPPERSPRAY USE; PIERRE FILISETTI SAYS HE WAS DEFENDING FAMILY IN ALTERCATION CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
A mayoral candidate in November’s civic election said he was defending his family during an altercation with a stranger that resulted in a criminal charge against him. Pierre Filisetti, a runner-up to current Mayor Peter Milobar, is charged with assault with a weapon stemming from an incident on Jan. 17. Court documents allege Filisetti used pepper spray on Brandon Burke. Filisetti, who owns a local landscaping company, was scheduled to make a first appearance
in provincial court yesterday (March 9). In an interview with KTW, Filisetti said he was acting in self-defence after being awakened in the middle of the night by noises in the breezeway of the downtown building in which his family lives. He said he does not know Burke, but added there have been problems in the Nicola Avenue building from noisy tenants. “I was defending myself at 2 a.m. . . . I was frightened. I’m dealing with one person with perhaps not the best of intentions,” Filisetti said. “You have to defend yourself.” Burke was contacted by KTW via social-media
accounts, but did not reply by press deadline. Filisetti said he believed the person outside his door was reaching for a weapon during the altercation. He is next scheduled to appear in court in early April. Filisetti is represented by defence lawyer Jeremy Jensen. In the November election, Filisetti picked up nearly 3,000 votes in the mayoral campaign, finishing behind the re-elected Peter Milobar and ahead of Ben James and Dallas Paisley. Filisetti is a frequent newspaper letter writer and posts comments regularly on local news forums, where he appears under his own name.

Gateway Casinos may not have to pay the full cost of road upgrades near its new Aberdeen casino. At its meeting today (March 10), Kamloops city council will look at the possibility of charging Northland Properties some of the $3.6 million required to add a traffic circle at Hugh Allan Drive and Versatile Drive and to widen Hugh Allan Drive to add another lane of eastbound traffic. The upgrades are intended to improve traffic flows when Gateway opens its expanded Cascades Casino at 1555 Versatile Dr. this summer. But, city staff say the improvements will also greatly benefit Northland, which plans to build a 213-bedroom hotel at 1775 Versatile Dr. and 1670 Hugh Allan Dr. Northland owns and operates the Sandman chain of hotels, along with the Denny’s, Moxies and Shark Club restaurant chains. Development services staff are recommending Northland be charged a “latecomer” fee of $1.2 million, 35 per
cent of the project’s total cost. According to a staff report, the new roundabout will allow for an increase in traffic on Hugh Allan and Versatile that is 35 per cent greater than what Gateway’s casino is expected to add to the roads. Under the terms of a latecomer charge, a property owner who benefits from upgrades funded by another development would have to pay for a portion of the works if they develop their property within the next 15 years. • Meanwhile, Gateway Casinos is hosting a public information session with the City of Kamloops tomorrow (March 11) to give the public a look at the series of traffic upgrades Gateway spokeswoman Tanya Gabara said following the public meeting, which runs from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Holiday Inn at 1550 Versatile Dr., the company hopes to begin work on the roadway in early spring. The casino and roadworks are expected to be completed this summer.

Bridge contract to be awarded today ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
The City of Kamloops will tap an Alberta- and Ontario-based firm for its multi-million-dollar reconstruction of Overlanders Bridge this spring and summer. City staff are recommending council award a tender for the rehabilitation of the city’s busiest crossing to Innovative Civil Constructors Inc. The company is based in Niagara Falls, with a branch in Edmonton. Innovative submitted the second-lowest
of the six bids the city recieved for the project, at $9.3 million. The lowest bid of $7.9 million from Langely-based HRC Construction was not compliant, according to a staff report headed to council today (March 10). All other bids topped $10 million, going as high as $12.4 million, well above the city’s budget for the project. According to the report, the city has set the full budget for Overlanders at $10.3 million, including contingency funds and a public-communications budget. Of that sum, $9.3 million was specifi-
cally borrowed for the project. Staff are asking council for permission to draw the remainder of the funds from the city’s arterial-roads budget and its active transportation and bridge repair fund. Once work gets underway in April, the contractor must resurface on- and offramps and the Tranquille Road overpass, reconstruct the sidewalk on the western side of the bridge and repair and resurface the bridge itself. The project is expected to take about five months to complete.

Witness on houseboat recounts fatal crash TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
Emotions ran high in a Kamloops courtroom yesterday (March 9) as a man aboard a houseboat during a fatal 2010 collision on Shuswap Lake described the moments leading up to the crash. Leon Reinbrecht is standing trial in B.C. Supreme Court on one count each of criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm stemming from a July 3, 2010, collision in Magna Bay that claimed the life of houseboat operator Ken Brown.
IDays March 10 –13, 2015
The Crown alleges Reinbrecht was driving his speedboat erratically prior to colliding head-on with the houseboat. Taking the witness stand on Monday, March 9, was Todd Stone (not the MLA), who was standing next to Brown at the houseboat’s helm when the collision took place. The boat was headed back to Anglemont after taking in a postCanada Day fireworks show on Magna Bay. Stone said the lake was busy with boat traffic after the fireworks ended. “Everybody just calmly puttered out,” he said.
“There was an awful lot of traffic.” According to Stone, the houseboat was travelling at a “trolling speed,” with Brown manning the controls. “I had my right shoulder against one doorjamb, he had his left shoulder on the other,” Stone said. “He’s steering as we looked out the front of the boat. “I must have turned to look at someone and I heard Ken say, ‘What’s this guy doing?’ When I turned to look, all I could see was the boat coming over the bow.” Stone said he was struck by the boat and suffered two collapsed

lungs and a number of broken bones. “After that, I remember the speedboat motor or propeller screaming,” he said, visibly upset in the courtroom. “After that shut off, I knew I had to get up and do something or I was going to die.” Stone testified he has no memories of what happened on the boat after that. Previous witnesses have testified they saw a boat driving erratically and at a high rate of speed prior to the crash. The Crown is expected to call 50 witnesses in Brown’s trial, which is expected to run into late April.

A seasoned alcoholic with a penchant for drinking extreme amounts of booze while driving long distances on B.C. highways has been sentenced to spend three months drying out behind bars. Christopher Pye was sentenced on Friday, March 6 in Kamloops provincial court after pleading guilty to 13 charges spanning three separate instances of drunk driving. On Sept. 5, a BC Ferries employee called police after the 41-year-old showed up at the Horseshoe Bay terminal in West Vancouver appearing severely intoxicated and with a bottle of vodka on his passenger seat, having driven from Kamloops. When police arrived and asked Pye to exit his vehicle, he couldn’t stand on his own. He told investigators he’d consumed three-quarters of a 40-ounce bottle of vodka on the drive from the Interior to the Lower Mainland. Pye was arrested and gave police a
breath sample showing a blood-alcohol level of .28 — more than three times the legal limit. On Feb. 3, court heard, he was arrested again after his common-law wife called police to say she had received “incoherent texts” and phone calls with “slurred speech” from Pye, who was driving on the Coquihalla headed to Kamloops. Police located his vehicle in Merritt, where he pulled into a gas station parking lot and was approached by an officer. Pye was asked to exit his vehicle and again had trouble standing. Police found two bottles of vodka — one empty and one full — inside his vehicle. He was arrested and provided a breath sample showing a blood-alcohol level of .23. Pye also pleaded guilty to a separate impaired-driving charge from last May, which saw him blow .24 — exactly three times the legal limit. “What he does when he drinks is drives long distances,” defence counsel Jeremy Knight said.

“This isn’t a guy who goes to a pub and has a good time with friends. He drinks hard alcohol, he drinks while he’s driving and he doesn’t try to hide it. “It shows that his alcoholism is very deep-rooted.” Pye apologized in court, saying he felt “great regret” for putting so many lives in jeopardy. Court heard Pye lives in Powell River but has an 11-year-old son in Kamloops. “It’s really hard to fathom the risk you put the community in,” said Kamloops provincial court Judge Len Marchand. “Your driving while highly intoxicated was extremely risky and extremely dangerous.” Marchand ordered Pye spend 90 days behind bars and pay $1,800 in fines. He’ll also spend one year on probation with conditions requiring he abstain from alcohol and take addictions counselling. After being given credit for time served, Pye will have to spend 42 new days in jail. Court heard he plans to enter an addictions-treatment centre once he is released.
The suspect in a shooting last week that left a Kamloops man in hospital with injuries to his leg is still on the lam, police say. Police were called to Royal Inland Hospital just before 11:30 p.m. on Friday, March 6, after a 27-year-old man showed up in emergency with an apparent gunshot wound to his leg.
Police Beat
BRIEFS Investigators believe the incident took place at a home in the 1400-block of Parkcrest Drive in Brocklehurst. Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said police are now searching for a 26-year-old suspect. Both the victim and the suspect are known to police, but Bush wouldn’t discuss
whether the shooting could be linked to organized crime or illegal activity. The victim remains in hospital with nonlife-threatening injuries. Bush said the suspect’s name is not being released. Anyone with information can call police at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers.

Accused killer speaks of angels
Police probe threat at university A Thompson Rivers University student was arrested and may face criminal charges after allegedly threatening an instructor during an on-campus meeting. Police were called to a building on the university’s campus at about 6 p.m. on Friday, March 6, for a reported disturbance. “A student uttered a threat to a staff member,” RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said. “A teacher had been giving reviews to students, and I don’t know if it was an actual class or not.” Bush said the student, a 41-yearold man, was subsequently released on conditions he have no contact with the instructor and another individual. The investigation 28421 RGAW Print is ongoing.
CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
A man accused of murdering a woman in a North Shore apartment in December made references to angels and Joan of Arc in court on Monday, March 9, telling a justice of the peace he wants to be the subject of a psychiatric report. Christopher Frank Butler, 41, is charged with one count of second-degree murder in the death of 26-year-old Deanne Genevieve Wheeler, whose body
was found at an apartment building on Cherry Avenue on Dec. 30. Butler has a brief criminal history, most recently a conviction for assault in September. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 37 days behind bars and 18 months of probation. He fired his defence lawyer and is now representing himself. Observers in a Kamloops remand court said Butler babbled incoherently at times and asked the justice of the peace if he could bring a Bible to court at
his next appearance. Butler is scheduled to appear next week, during which time he will ask a provincial court judge to order a psychiatric report to determine if he is not criminally responsible by reason of a mental disorder. Those psychiatric reports can be used in a trial to determine if an offender was mentally capable of distinguishing right from wrong. If found not criminally responsible by a judge, offenders come under the care of the B.C. Review Board.
Building permits rise for second month ANDREA KLASSEN

City building permits values are up for a second month in a row, thanks to a backlog of permits filed to beat the new B.C. Building Code in December and a pair of casino projects on both sides of the river. Overall, the city gave out 131 permits worth 11 Kamloops 10.33 million x 7.pdf more than $22.4 in February, compared

to 59 worth $4.2 million in 2014. To date, nearly $31 million in permits have gone out of City Hall, compared to $11.4 million in the first two months of 2014. Director of development and engineering services Marvin Kwiatkowski said many of the $8.3-million in residential permits handed out over the month were actually filed back in 2015-02-24 before 2:48 the PM December, province’s new building
code — which homebuilders have said will likely increase the costs of home construction — came into effect. The total number of dwelling permits for the year is well above last year’s total thanks to those code-avoiders, at 56 compared to 13 this time last year. But, even though the city has now worked through its backlog, Kwiatkowski said he expects to see steady
residential numbers continue for the year. “The vibe I’m getting is pretty good. The realtors, if you talk to them, it’s a pretty strong year so far,” he said. On the commercial side, the city doled out $13.4 million in permits, mainly to two casino projects: a $10 million permit for the new Gateway Casinos and another $2.5 million for and expansion of the Chances gaming facility.

Weather or not to be decided KamloopsThompson schooldistrict trustees will be voting on a new policy establishing rules for cancelling classes in extreme weather. The notice of motion, which went to the board of education last night (March 9), will include six other emergencyprocedure policies when it is dealt with at the March 30 board meeting. The recommended policy includes several provisions addressing how cancellations are to be made public and what School District 73 staff are expected to do on days when classes are

BRIEFS
cancelled. The procedures require parents, students and employees to be notified of cancellations by 7 a.m. or, preferably, the day before. School-board staff are expected to go to work. If they cannot, they are expected to contact their supervisors for instruction. The proposed policy also states only employees who report to work for the day or who are on an authorized leave will be paid.
Code of conduct amendment?
The board is also being asked to approve an amendment to its code of conduct policy. The amendment would add regulations that require schools to ensure the codes are displayed prominently in schools and available to the public, that they are provided to all employees and students each year and to parents when students start attending classes; and that the codes are communicated in an age-appropriate
manner. The regulations would also require parent advisory councils, employees and students review the codes annually.
Official opening of NorKam Friday
NorKam Trades and Technology Centre is bustling with students and will be officially opened on Friday, March 13, at 10 a.m. with participation by the Ministry of Education, the local school board, community partners and others. The centre is adjacent to NorKam secondary, at 730 Twelfth St. in North Kamloops.
Free spay/neuter clinic on March 18 The B.C. SPCA’s Kamloops spay and neuter clinic is hoping to slow the spread of feral cats in the city with its annual spay and neuter clinic day on March 18. Veterinary administrator Vivian Van Doren said the SPCA hopes to sterilize 35 cats this year during its free clinic day.
The cats will also get shots and permanent identification. Animal-welfare groups in Kamloops generally support a catch-and-release approach to dealing with feral cats, bringing the animals in for vaccinations and sterilization to try to control the population of feral colonies before releasing them back into the wild.
“We get lots of farmers who find they have colonies living on their property, so they call to schedule an appointment and then trap them and bring them in on the day,” Van Doren said. Groups or individuals caring for feral cats can contact the clinic at 250-376-6055 before Friday, March 13, to make an appointment.

Study says average rent $859 ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Cities like Kamloops, Kelowna and Prince George might not make headlines for their high costs of living with the frequency of Vancouver, but a new study argues it can be as tough to find shelter in B.C.’s smaller communities as it is on the Lower Mainland. The report from the Social Planning and Research Council of B.C. (SPARC B.C) studied five communities, including Kamloops, looking at issues such as available housing stock, average rent and challenges facing the communities’ poorest families. Tangie Genshorek, co-ordinator for the Kamloops Homeless Action Plan, said she sees the study as an important step in convincing higher levels of government to focus their attention on poverty issues outside the Lower Mainland. “There’s been a lot of research done in the big cities and now we’re turning to the smaller communities to prove this isn’t just a big city problem,” she said. “You’d think, ‘Oh it’s so expensive to live in a city, but, if you move to a smaller town, you’ll find a better housing scenario. It’s just not the case at all and that’s what this study is showing. The affordability levels are low everywhere.” All five communities studied had more than a $100 gap between average rents and the maximum $660 amount of shelter assistance available to a family of

MARCH IS NATIONAL KIDNEY MONTH
O
ne in 10 British Columbians has kidney disease. That’s a staggering number. Take a look around you, at your place of work, in your classroom. Chances are, someone you know has kidney disease. There’s also a good chance they don’t know it yet because the symptoms are so slight in the early stages. Therein lies one of the biggest hurdles of dealing with the disease. The key to preventing or delaying a life on dialysis, or a kidney transplant, is early detection. So, what are the keys to early detection? First, answer the following questions: • Are you diabetic? • Do you have high blood pressure? • Do you have heart disease? • Does your family have a history of kidney disease? A “yes” answer to any of these questions sets you at a higher risk for kidney disease. Testing is a simple procedure (a blood test and a urine test) that can be done along with your regularly scheduled check-up. Even if the aforementioned quiz produced all “no” answers, a medical test is always a good preventative measure. The alternative is unpleasant. More than 350 British Columbians are on a wait list for kidney transplant. The median wait time for a kidney is 4.8 years. More than 50 per cent of dialysis patients do not survive past four years. Sobering statistics, indeed. The Kidney Foundation of Canada, BC and Yukon is on a mission to increase the number of kidney transplants by 50 per cent over the next five years. In order to achieve that goal, there is a need for more donors. The unique advantage people in need of a kidney have over others awaiting organ transplants is that people only need one kidney to survive, so a living donation is an option. Also, a living kidney transplant is the most successful of all transplant procedures. For more information on the living donation program, go online to kidney.ca/living-donation.

Advocate strikes a chord
B
.C.’s new seniors’ advocate has issued her second report — and the media mostly ignored it. When this new office was promised by a campaigning Premier Christy Clark two years ago, I suggested B.C. already has 85 seniors’ advocates. They’re called MLAs and inquiries go to their local offices. Much to the chagrin of the opposition, seniors’ advocate Isobel Mackenzie’s mandate is not to pursue individual cases, so she won’t be serving up a fresh assortment of horror stories to embarrass the government. Instead, it is to look for “systemic challenges” and recommend ways to deal with them. The latest report is based on a survey of more than 500 seniors from around the province — and the key finding was not what she expected. “We were surprised to learn of the lack of awareness among seniors, particularly low-income seniors, of government programs and the subsidies available to assist them,” Mackenzie said. The survey found 60 per cent of seniors living on $30,000 or less annual income didn’t know they are eligible for discounts on Medical Services Plan premiums. For income less than $22,000, the entire $864 cost of individual MSP premiums is waived. Other frequently overlooked programs are a monthly rent subsidy called Shelter Aid for Elderly Renters (SAFER), grants for disability modifications called Home Adaptations for
TOM FLETCHER
Our Man In
VICTORIA Independence, drug-cost assistance called Fair Pharmacare, property-tax deferment and the federal Guaranteed Income Supplement program. Those older than 75 with income of less than $30,000 reported the lowest awareness of assistance designed specifically for them. But, you don’t get these benefits unless you apply and show that your income qualifies. The survey also found that the biggest fear of low-income seniors is that they won’t be able to afford to stay in their homes. See home adaptation, property-tax and rent-subsidy programs above. Awareness and usage of the SAFER program was lowest in the north and highest in urban areas, perhaps not surprising since the B.C. government exists more in theory than in fact in many remote places. So, what should the government do about this? Well, it could advertise these programs. The government does lots of advertising, but not about old news like the SAFER pro-
gram, which dates back to the 1970s. Clark’s government did a whack of advertising in the election year of 2013. Much of it was about the B.C. Jobs Plan, heavy on the hard hats and blueprintstyle graphics and arc welding and stuff like that. Last year, the government’s big ad campaign was around the teachers’ strike and the payments to parents to help with child care while teachers demanded twice as big a raise as all other unions. Education Minister Peter Fassbender is still bragging about the response rate for $40a-day parental strike pay, which was snapped up by almost 100 per cent of eligible parents. This demonstrates government can indeed give away money with great efficiency, just by telling people how to get it. The NDP’s version of seniors’ advocacy is to find the most tragic problems from complaints coming into constituency offices and use those to ambush the government. A popular choice is an elderly couple who have to be separated because their medical needs are too different to keep them in the same facility. TV news loves that one. People cry on camera and denounce politicians for being heartless, as if the health minister stayed up late plotting how to break their granny’s heart. Maybe this seniors’ advocate wasn’t such a bad idea after all. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

ONLY ADVANCE LIGHTS NEEDED Editor: Why should people bother attending public budget meetings when most of the wants or needs have already been determined? Repairs to Overlanders Bridge and the Tournament Capital Centre have to be done. However, widening of
Columbia Street only needs advance lights at Fourth and Fifth avenues. But, what does the city do? It puts forward a bylaw to borrow most of the money. To force a vote on the bylaw, one has to obtain about 6,000 signatures on approved forms.
How many people living southwest of Third and Columbia would put their signatures on a form? Those living on the North Shore and in Valleyview, Dallas and Westsyde probably don’t give a hoot. Don Porter Kamloops
IN A PICKLE WITH HOOPS DILEMMA Editor: I am 56 years old and regularly play basketball at McDonald Park in North Kamloops. On a recent day, I headed to my favourite place to shoot hoops. When I arrived, I watched as two people my age were hanging nets (I can only guess the costs) in what seems to be Kamloops’ new sponsored pickleball court. I have played basketball for 48 years on this court, even at a time when there was still blue hockey boards on each end and long before it was cliché or trendy to do so. It was the Rucker Park of Kamloops and many great players have felt the heat of the asphalt on a hot summer day.
But, as always in The Tournament Capital, unless you curl or play hockey, you are hooped. Please give us back the McDonald Park court and put the newfangled sport elsewhere. The only cost for basketball over the years seemed to be a new chain-link net every 10 years. I have taught my kids and many others the game of basketball and, when we used the city parks, we always respected the neighbourhood. McDonald Park was our Montreal Forum, our Madison Square Garden. Tyler Greenstreet Kamloops
HOW CAN WE BOYCOTT GREEDY INDUSTRY? Editor: We all need gas for our vehicles, but am I the only one worrying about the way oil companies and gas stations are gouging us? When the price of a barrel of oil goes down, gas stations are very slow to
reduce the per-litre price of gas. However, when the price of a barrel of oil goes up even slightly, gas stations are very quick to boost the per-litre price of gas. Just lately, they brought it up to the level it was
when the price of a barrel of oil was twice as expensive. I wish there was a way to boycott those greedy bastards.
THANK YOU FROM OUR SPIRIT WARRIORS Editor: The Spirit Warriors, a breast-cancer survivors dragon-boat crew, would like to thank MP Cathy McLeod, MLA Todd Stone and the City of Kamloops. Their donations of the Canadian flag lapel pins, the British Columbia flag lapel pins, as well as the miniature version of the provincial flags and the City of Kamloops lapel pins, went a long way in introducing the Spirit Warriors to Sarasota, Fla., and the other 105 participating dragon-boat crews at the World Dragon Boat Championship of Breast Cancer Survivors in October.

Differing views on stat-release changes CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
KamloopsThompson-Cariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod said restricting statutory release for violent offenders will make streets safer and provide reality in sentencing.
The Harper government is bringing in an amendment to the Corrections and Conditional Release Act intended to restrict statutory parole for what McLeod called “the most violent offenders.� Under current rules, inmates in federal penitentiaries are con-
sidered for early parole at one-third of their sentences. At two-thirds of their sentences, release back to the community — typically on day parole or to a halfway house — is considered statutory. Offenders are only held back from release when corrections offi-

cials believe they pose a threat to public safety. The amendment would remove that release and discretion by parole officials. Offenders with a record of violence would only be reintroduced to the community with six months remaining on a sentence. In the House of Commons, McLeod said the measure will keep violent offenders off the street. “We have all heard stories of criminals who go on to re-offend, sometimes violently,� she said. “There are too many criminals who commit serious offences while on statutory release — and Canadians refuse to accept this.� The most recent high-profile arrest of a released offender is in the death of 17-yearold Serena Vermeersch

mongering over a crime wave that just hasn’t his the country.� Based on information from a prominent criminologist and Canada’s Office of the Correctional Investigator, Sundhu estimated the measures will cost billions of dollars in the long run. It costs nearly $150,000 a year to house a prisoner in a federal institution, compared to an approximate annual cost of $35,000 on parole.
Correction An article on page A11 of the Feb. 26 edition of Kamloops This Week concerning the city’s public budget meetings (‘People just don’t seem to care much about what’s going on’) misstated the cost of a pair of earlier public budget meetings in the fall of 2014. The last two budget meetings, which were attended by about 44 people, cost the city $58,000. Feedback from the three public budget meetings will be presented at the March 31 Kamloops council meeting and, at that time, will also be posted online at kamloops.ca.

Sundhu said the proposed legislation tilts the balance too far toward punishment and ignores the need to rehabilitate offenders before they re-enter society. “If this is the case, we’ll warehouse a lot of people who don’t need to be warehoused,� he said. “It impairs their reintegration.� Sundhu agreed there are offenders who should not be released, but said the announced measures appear to go too far. McLeod said the proposals would also add an air of reality to sentencing. “To many people, when someone is given a sentence, it’s a sentence,� she said. “If it’s 10 years — it’s 10 years . . .

It was a lot of work, but it felt good in the end. That was the mentality I had for each workout during the month-long Y Strong Kids challenge and, now that its over, for the campaign itself. KTW’s team Press Time brought in $2,171 for kids’ programs through the YMCA-YWCA. That money — along with funds raised by the other teams in the Challenge — will be used to help 1,000 kids, take swimming lessons, attend summer camp and access
gym memberships. It was my first time participating in the four-week fitness and fundraising challenge. Reflecting on it all, it was a great team event and a fantastic cause. Here are some things I learned while part of Press Time: 1. It’s OK to look ridiculous trying to balance on a workout ball because others will be rolling around and falling all over the place next to you. 2. Only half the team will make it to a workout on a Sunday morning. 3. There are certain kinds of underwear you should and
should not wear to spin class. #chafing 4. A car-wash fundraiser is harder than it looks — sorry to all of those who drove away with dirty spots on their vehicles. 5. Push-ups are just never going to happen. 6. Turning off the lights and cranking up the music is the best way to take a fitness class, like working out in a David Bowie music video. 7. Holding a ping-pong tournament is not the greatest fundraiser idea. It’s really more like just charging your friends to party with you. 8. Remember, it’s for the kids.

New tournament format for KIBIHT ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Kamloops International Bantam Ice Hockey Tournament will be sporting a new tournament format in 2016. Organizers announced last week that, for the first time in the event’s 48-year history, KIBIHT will include a Premier Division next season. The new division will have an eight-team slate, made up of hockey academies, winter clubs and other top-ranked minor hockey programs. “There’s a lot of hockey academies and hockey schools coming up,� said tournament chairman Ted Kowalsky. “Sometimes, they put together teams that aren’t competitive with some of the standard Tier 1 teams — they dominate. “So what we felt we’d do is we’d put in a Premier Division, that would accommodate teams that
felt they were very strong, overly competitive.� The 2016 tournament is scheduled to run from Dec. 30 to Jan. 3. In addition to the eight-team Premier Division, KIBIHT will include its usual Tier 1 and Tier 2 offerings, but with four fewer teams in Tier 1 — 12 instead of 16. Tier 2 will continue with its usual 16-team slate. Kowalsky said the aim of the new format is to make the tournament more competitive for both premier and Tier 1 teams. Organizers envision a full slate of elite clubs will make the tournament more competitive for teams in the Premier Division, while levelling the playing field in Tier 1, too, giving city-based minor hockey associations an opportunity to again thrive. “What happens is if you have strong Tier 1 teams, but they know they’re going to come here and maybe get hammered by a team that is stronger than they

are, they won’t bother applying,� Kowalsky said. In 2015, the top four teams in the Tier 1 division were academy teams — Penticton’s Okanagan Hockey Academy, Kelowna’s Pursuit of Excellence Hockey Academy, Calgary’s Edge Hockey School and the tournament champions, the Delta Hockey Academy Wild. Kyle Allan, who was the coach of Kamloops’ Tier 1 team, the Kamloops Junior Blazers, in KIBIHT 2015, could see both pros and cons of the new arrangement when he spoke to KTW last week. “I think it’s good for the tournament, as far as bringing that competitive balance,� he said. “Obviously, as we saw this year with the academies, they kind of dominated the show, right? “If there’s a thing that I don’t like about it, it’s if you don’t have a really strong, competitive team from Kamloops, it kind of puts the Kamloops team on the back-
burner . . . relegating them out of the top division.� Allan said he worries excitement in the Tournament Capital might not be to the same level should Kamloops not be included in the tournament’s highest-calibre division. He also noted, however, that he’s waiting to see the new format in action before drawing a final conclusion. Were the new format to have been in place for the 2015 tournament, Allan said Kamloops would have been very competitive in Tier 1, but likely not a fit for the Premier Division. Knowing what he does about the upcoming class of bantams, he expects the situation to be similar for the 2016 tournament. “Playing in that premier, elite division, we would have had a tough time,� Allan said of this year’s Blazers. “Playing in that tier 1 division, now we’re a team that could

Should a city-based minor hockey program feel it would be competitive in the Premier Division, there’s nothing restricting it from playing there. Kowalsky said early feedback for the new format has been positive, with teams from Alberta, the Lower Mainland, the United States and Hungary having expressed interest in the 2016 tournament. “Everybody likes it because, the way we’ve set it up, we’re not segregating,� Kowalsky said. “So we’re not saying only academies or schools can go into that [Premier Division].� The application process for the event opens on April 1, with the slate of teams to be finalized by Sept. 30.

Storm chasing conference banner ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Kamloops Storm are headed back to the Okanagan/ Shuswap Conference Championship. The Storm defeated the 100 Mile House Wranglers 2-1 in Game 5 on Saturday, March 7, capturing their second round playoff series 4-1. Kamloops now awaits the winner of the conference’s other series between the Summerland Steam and the Osoyoos Coyotes. Osoyoos led the series 3-2 through five games when KTW went to press yesterday (March 9). “It’s huge,” Storm forward Mitch Friesen said of the victory. “It would have been nice to get it last night [in 100 Mile House], but getting it today and getting the day off tomorrow is going to be huge for us to rest up for the next series.” Through 10 games, the Surrey native leads the Storm with eight points, including five goals. Saturday’s game was a physical battle,

in which the Wranglers pulled out to an early lead. But, goals from Keaton Gordon and Mark O’Shaughnessy put the Storm ahead 2-1 and goaltender Jacob Mullen closed the door on the Wranglers, making 21 saves. “It was a battle. I think only two games weren’t onegoal games,” said Storm head coach Ed Patterson. “They [100 Mile House] were hitting like trucks the whole

series and the boys competed hard. It was nice to see our young guys step up, take the hits to make plays, be physical themselves and really earn their stripes.” Regardless of their opponent in the next series, the conference final will be the toughest challenge to date for the Storm. They will face either the class of the league in the Coyotes or the Steam, who have matched the Osoyoos stride for stride through five games.
“Summerland’s an extremely wellcoached team,” Patterson said. “They skate very fast, their back pressure is tremendous. “Then you have Osoyoos, whose skill level is unmatched in this league right now. “Whoever you get, you’re either getting a deadly team that can light you up on the scoreboard if you’re not careful, or a team that’s going to try and work you into the ground every game.” Patterson said his team’s confidence has been building with each playoff game they get under their belts. The players may be young, about half of them are still in high school, but their attitude is that of a team that won’t easily be conquered. And, they’re not afraid of their next opponent — regardless of who it is. “I’ll take either of them,” Friesen said. “We play our game and we’ll roll over anyone.” The conference championship is slated to begin tomorrow (March 11).

Jim Cotter left the 2015 Tim Hortons Brier with no regrets. The Kamloops native’s week didn’t have an ideal ending — he and his B.C. rink, which includes third Ryan Kuhn, second Tyrel Griffith and lead Rick Sawatsky, fell short of the playoffs with a 4-2 loss to Saskatchewan’s Laycock rink in their final round-robin game. But, a day removed from the loss, and with play for the Brier Tankard continuing without him, Cotter said he felt good about the week his team had put together in Calgary. “That’s one thing, actually. We were talking about that a little bit last night [Friday]. We don’t have any regrets,” he said. “We worked really hard and did everything we could here. We were well-rested, we ate well, did all those little things that make a difference at the end of the week. “We weren’t tired or whatnot. Definitely, we

don’t have any regrets. Like I said, it comes down to a shot here or there and you’re right in there.” Cotter finished the Brier in seventh place, sporting a 5-6 record, but was in the playoff hunt right through the final draw of the event’s round-robin. Had B.C. won its final game against Saskatchewan, four teams would have finished the week at 6-5, prompting a series of tie-breakers. Instead, Saskatchewan’s victory on Friday meant it was Northern Ontario (10-1), Newfoundland and Labrador (9-2) and

Saskatchewan (7-4) entering the playoff round. Team Canada (7-4), the event’s reigning champion, also advanced past the round-robin. The 2015 Brier was the first to include a Team Canada, an honour bestowed upon the winners of the 2014 Brier in Kamloops. Canada went on to claim gold, edging the Jacobs rink of Northern Ontario 6-5 in an extra end in the final on Sunday, March 8. “It definitely changed things a little bit,” Cotter said, of introducing Team Canada to the event. “When you have the reigning champion come back, it makes the field stronger . . . “It was a pretty
strong field and every team, if you’re not on top of your game, they’ll beat you.” The 2015 Brier was the first for B.C.’s Kuhn, too, who Cotter said equipped himself well in his debut. Just a year ago, it was John Morris, who now curls for Team Canada, throwing third stones for Cotter. “Our chemistry is really good on this team and we all get along really great, on and off the ice,” Cotter said. “Any time you can play in the Brier, you gain a lot of experience from that. I’m sure Ryan learned a lot from it. He’s such a good player that you sometimes forget it was his first Brier.”
Spring Cleaning Street Sweeping Notice Weather permitting, City crews will begin spring sweeping of streets in the valley bottom and working into the higher elevations throughout the City. The Spring Sweeping program on average requires 6 to 8 weeks to complete. In an effort to reduce sweeping time and costs, signs will be posted in the areas that are being swept advising the public not to park on the street. Some high density areas will have parking restrictions posted and/or notices delivered in advance of sweeping, for example, downtown east.

DUNEDIN, Fla. — After a season in South Korea, Canadian pitcher Andrew Albers is back on more familiar turf. The 29-year-old left-hander from North Battleford, Sask., who made headlines in 2013 with the Minnesota Twins, is hoping to start a new chapter with the Blue Jays. Albers threw one inning of scoreless relief last Wednesday against the Pirates, with one strikeout and one walk. He gave up three singles in 2/3 innings in another outing Sunday against Pittsburgh but escaped without a run thanks to a helping hand from pitcher Bo Schultz. “He’s got a great feel for pitching,’’ Toronto manager John Gibbons said of Albers. “He’s not an overpowering guy by any means . . . He’s a lot like [Jeff] Francis. They’re both command guys that are very, very polished.” The Canadian has had his share of career ups and downs. “Baseball’s got a funny way of humbling you when you think things are going well,’’ Albers said. Drafted and then released by the Padres, he survived Tommy John surgery and pitching for the Quebec Capitales of the independent Can-Am Association He earned a tryout in Fort Myers with Minnesota after driving from Arizona to Florida in search of baseball employment. The University of Kentucky graduate made his mark in 2013, pitching 8 1/2 scoreless innings in his Twins debut. Next time out, he threw a complete game shutout. Albers, the eighth Saskatchewan native to play in the majors, finished the season with a 2-5 mark and 4.05 ERA in 10 starts. ``It wasn’t great but it wasn’t terrible,’’ he said.
DORAL, Fla. — Dustin Johnson might never escape the whispers about what led him to take a six-month leave of absence from golf that caused him to miss the final major of the year, the lucrative FedEx Cup playoffs and the Ryder Cup. No one ever questioned his game. He provided all the answers on Sunday when he won the Cadillac Championship. The power was evident on the monster tee shot he hit on the daunting 18th hole at Trump National Doral, so bold and pure that Johnson might have been the only one who never doubted it would clear the corner of the water and land safely in the fairway, setting up a routine par. “I absolutely smashed it,’’ he said. The putting comes and goes, but it arrived when he needed it: The
20-foot par putt from the fringe on the 11th hole to stay one shot behind. The 10-foot par save on the 14th hole that gave him his first lead of the tournament. The 15-foot birdie on the next hole to seize control. Also back was the swagger. Johnson made up a five-shot deficit against J.B. Holmes. “I knew I was really good,’’ Johnson said. “I knew there was something I was missing that could make me great. I was working hard on that, and I think it’s showing right now. I’m so excited right now, I can’t hardly talk. It feels great. This one definitely, by far, is the best one.’’ That much was clear when he walked off the green holding 7-weekold son Tatum and fiancee Paulina Gretzky, the daughter of hockey great Wayne Gretzky, at his side. Johnson announced in early August he was taking an indefinite leave to seek professional help for “personal
challenges.’’ Golf.com reported that day he had failed a second cocaine test — the first one was in 2012, the year he missed the Masters and was out for nearly three months for what he called a back injury from lifting a jet ski from the water. Johnson again said in his press conference Sunday that he has never failed a drug test. When pressed why he had not been more forthcoming with answers, Johnson replied: “Because it’s personal and, frankly, it’s not really anybody’s business.’’ Johnson finished at 9-under 279, adding to the WGC title he won in Shanghai at the end of 2013. He was on top of his game, one of golf’s most athletic figures who already had contended in three majors. Then came the indefinite leave. And now, he’s back.

NFL INVESTIGATING BARRY WILNER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The NFL is looking into whether some teams entered agreements with 2015 free agents before they were allowed to do so. The league sent a memo to the 32 clubs, reminding them not to reach agreement with or sign any of the 2015 free agents until today (March 10) at 1 p.m. The memo noted a “reported number of agreements’’ and said violations will be “dealt with accordingly.’’
Revis Island abandoned? FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Safety Devin McCourty says he’s returning to the New England Patriots for five more years. Cornerback Darrelle Revis could be gone. McCourty said he’s happy to stay with the Super Bowl champions, telling Patriots fans on Twitter yesterday (March 9): “Let’s go win another Super Bowl...or 5.’’ Also yesterday, ESPN reported that the Patriots have decided not to pick
up Revis’ $20 million option, instead allowing him to become a free agent. The Patriots did not immediately respond to an email seeking confirmation of the decision or the McCourty agreement. McCourty’s agent, Andy Simms, confirmed that his deal would pay $47.5 million over five years, with $28.5 million guaranteed. NFL free agency officially begins on Tuesday. — Associated Press

ò Obituaries & In Memoriam ô PAUL EDWIN FARNHAM
GRANT LEROY ANGMAN
NOVEMBER 29, 1930 – MARCH 6, 2015
May 14, 1940 – February 28, 2015
It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the passing of Paul Farnham at age 84. He was predeceased by his parents, George Henry and Eva, and a sister Elsie. He is lovingly remembered by his wife Esmé, his brother John (Joan) of Calgary, sisters Shirley of Golden Grove, NB, and Theresa of Fredericton, daughters Patricia (Mike) of Sidney, BC, Wendy of Victoria, Catherine (Trevor) of Sorrento, and grandchildren Tanner (Nytasha), Miranda, Catriona, Alanna, Samara, and Heather. Paul was born at home in Milltown, NB. The family moved to a farm at Bayside, NB where he attended an 8-grade school in Bartlett Mills and then high school in St. Andrews. He worked for the Bank of Nova Scotia in NB and in Vancouver before moving to Kamloops in 1953. Here he worked for two associated sawmills, Kamloops Lumber Ltd and Fadear Creek Lumber Co Ltd, and later at Talisman Cedar Ltd (Blue River), W.J. Ellis Co Ltd, and Roger Webber, doing bookkeeping and accounting. With his longtime friend Fred, he owned and ran a land development company, Leafar Lands Ltd.
PAULINE LUNDEBERG
Born in Ashcroft, BC, Grant was the oldest of three children born to Edward and Signe Angman. He was raised in Lillooet, BC, where he eventually married his teenage sweetheart and wife of 54 years, Faye (Becker) on October 16, 1960. Grant and Faye continued to reside in Lillooet where their daughter, Shelley, and two sons, Ryan and Darren were born. In 1965 Grant began working for BC Hydro. After several moves the family eventually settled in Merritt, BC in 1976. As the years passed his children left home and began to contribute grandchildren whom Grant loved to spoil and brag about. Grant continued to work for BC Hydro until his retirement in 1999. Grant enjoyed the extra leisure time afforded by retirement to spend even more time with family and for golfing with his numerous close friends. Grant enjoyed curling, golfing, and fly-fishing, but first and foremost in his life was family. He was a loving husband and devoted father and grandfather. He gave every bit of himself to his family and was actively involved in the lives of his children and granddaughters. His granddaughters were his world and while they were with him you could often hear the words “you are the greatest grandpa in the whole wide room.” In 2012, while recovering from a broken neck and back, Grant was diagnosed with cancer. He fought hard, always hoping for the best, but eventually he succumbed to the disease and passed away with Faye at his side on February 28, 2015 at 74 years of age.
Paul married the love of his life, Esmé Richards, in 1960 and raised their three daughters. He enjoyed hiking, hunting, gardening, cutting firewood, summers at the Shuswap, crosscountry skiing, and playing bridge and darts with friends. He was a member of the Kamloops Outdoor Club, the Overlander Ski Club, and the Anglican Church.
Grant was predeceased by his parents Edward and Signe along with his sister-in-law Lois and brother-in-law Wayne. He is survived by his wife Faye; his children Shelley, Ryan (Torie) and Darren (Connie); his brothers Lyle and Wayne (Pauline); his sister-in-law Terry; his 4 grandchildren, Lauren, Nicole, Camryn and Caylee; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Grant also amassed a large gathering of good friends in his life which is a testament to the incredible man he was. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 14, at Schoening Funeral Service, 513 Seymour St. Donations may be made to a charity of your choice, in memory of Paul.
A Funeral Service will be held at 1:00 PM on March 14, 2015 at the Nicola Valley Evangelical Free Church in Merritt with Lutheran Pastor Gordon Heselton officiating. A further Celebration of Life will be held at 1:00 PM on April 11, 2015 at the Merritt Golf and Country Club.
On line condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com
The family would like to express their sincere appreciation to the staff of the Cancer Clinic at the Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops and Gillis House in Merritt for their kindness, compassion and dedication extended to Grant while he was in their care.

Rise up slowly, Angel. Do not leave me here, alone, Where the warmth of mortal essence Lies replaced by cold, hard stone.
Wrap me in a downy cape Of sunshine, warm with love, And kiss a tear-stained mother’s face With moonlight from above.
Rise up slowly, Angel. I cannot let you go. Just drift softly ‘midst the faces, In sorrow now bent low.
Speak to me in breezes, Whispered through the drying leaves, And caress my brow with raindrops Filtered by the sheltering trees.
Then, wait for me at sunset, Beside the lily pond, And guide me safely homeward To your world, which lies beyond.
Ease the searing anger, ..... Born in harsh, unyielding truth That Death could steal my loved one From the glowing blush of youth.
Rise up slowly, Angel, For I cannot hear the song Which calls you through the shadows Into the light beyond.
Just spread your arms to take me In reunion’s sweet embrace, And we shall soar, together, To a different time and place.

No end in sight for British Columbia’s cold war CANADA’S LONGESTRUNNING MILITARY MISSION IS A BATTLE OF MAN VS. NATURE AT ROGERS PASS
BILL GRAVELAND
THE CANADIAN PRESS
ROGERS PASS — It’s a never-ending war that the Canadian Forces has no hope of winning. They have to settle for victories in small battles along the way. Despite lengthy stints in wars overseas, Canada’s longest military mission continues in Rogers Pass, where it has taken part in Op PALACI doing avalanche control for more than 50 years. Every year since 1961, from November to April, the artillery task force is deployed in the pass with 105mm howitzers modi-
fied for precision firing from roadside gun platforms. The shells are fired into rock formations to reduce natural avalanches. The objective is to prevent blockage of the Trans-Canada Highway and Canadian Pacific rail corridors between Vancouver and the rest of Canada. Sgt. David Chelkowski, the troop sergeant-major for the 1st Regiment of the Royal Canadian Horse Artillery (1RCHA), served two tours in Afghanistan. This year marks his second deployment doing avalanche control.
“This is the only part of Canada where the soldiers deploy to support avalanche control,’’ says Chelkowski. “At the end of the day it is a mission and we’re here to do a job that’s asked of us.’’ He says he and the new recruits here for the first time realize they are taking part in a bit of history. “Members of our regiment and other regiments in Canada have been doing this since the 1960s and for them it is important to write another chapter.’’ Between 700 and 1,500 rounds are fired each year at prede-
termined targets in the peaks most at risk. Within a couple of minutes the guns are locked into place on reinforced firing platforms, aimed and ready to fire. Chelkowski says the results can be aweinspiring. “It’s Mother Nature at its best. You can just watch the trees tumble in front of it. It’s out of control and you can’t do anything but stand in awe and watch the view.’’ It is Parks Canada who is calling the shots — literally. Jeff Goodrich, the senior avalanche officer, says his people do
DERAILED TRAIN STILL BURNS GOGAMA, Ont. — Efforts continue to put out a fire that erupted after a train carrying crude oil derailed in northern Ontario this weekend, just weeks after a similar incident in the area. CN Rail says crews are working one car at a time and so far, 24 of the 38 cars that derailed on Saturday have been pulled clear of the main incident site. First Nations and environmentalists have expressed alarm over the derailment near Gogama, Ont., about 80 kilometres south of Timmins, and voiced concerns about possible contamination. The railway company has said two cars and some crude entered the Mattagami River System, but says booms have been installed downstream of the site. It says ongoing air and water testing have found no issues at this point. Last month a CN freight train derailed in the same area — 29 cars loaded with crude oil and petroleum distillates ran off the tracks and caused a fire. France Gelinas, who represents Gogama and other Nickel Belt communities in the Ontario legislature, says the two recent incidents have shaken the community and made residents ``nervous’’ about the railway they depend on for transportation. “For the people of Gogama, it was a very close one,’’ she said of Saturday’s derailment. “They all said, ‘What if it had been two kilometres this way, we wouldn’t be there (anymore),’’’ she said. “This is a what-if that will be hard for a lot of people to forget and we need to have substantive changes so that people in Gogama and throughout the northeast can feel safe again.’’
Amnesty International warns anti-terror bill could be used to target activists OTTAWA — A prominent human-rights group says the Conservative government’s anti-terrorism bill could be used to target environmental activists and aboriginal protesters. In a brief made public yesterday (March 9) Amnesty International Canada adds its voice to those who say the bill would go beyond genuine security threats to ensnare those who mount
demonstrations that fall outside the strict letter of the law. The Conservatives brought in the bill — which would significantly expand the Canadian Security Intelligence Service’s mandate — following the murders of two Canadian soldiers last October. It would give CSIS the ability to disrupt terror plots, make it easier for police to limit the movements of a suspect, expand no-fly list powers, crack down on terrorist propaganda, and remove barriers to sharing security-related information. The new disruptive powers do not apply to lawful advocacy, protest and dissent, but Amnesty fears they could be used against activists who protest without an official permit or despite a court order. The House of Commons public safety committee plans to hear more than 50 witnesses on the bill during hearings that begin today.
Finding source of AB BSE case no easy task CALGARY — Federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz says figuring out how an Alberta cow was infected with BSE is like looking for a needle in a haystack. The beef breeding cow was discovered last month on a farm near Edmonton and was born on a nearby farm. Another cow born at the same location in 2004 tested positive for bovine spongiform encephalopathy in 2010. Officials have said that no material from either cow made it into human or animal food. BSE is a fatal and untreatable wasting disease of the brain and nervous systems. It is caused by rogue proteins called prions, which can be spread through contaminated feed. Humans who eat infected beef can develop a fatal disease called variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency continues the complex task of checking cattle born on the farm to see whether they may have been exposed to the same feed as the BSE cow, although it hasn’t been determined yet whether infected feed caused the disease in this case. “It takes such a miniscule amount of product that it’s a needle in a haystack ... it’s a needle in several haystacks actually,’’ Ritz said at a news conference in Calgary. —Canadian Press
the science and the forecasting and the Canadian Forces provide the firepower. In a 40-kilometre stretch within Glacier National Park, he says there are 134 avalanche paths that could hit the road. “It’s amazing how much it can snow here,’’ Goodrich says. “We get periods
where we don’t get blue sky for weeks on end and we can get into periods of stormy weather where we need to do avalanche control and the next day get back at it again.’’ Lt. Steen HinmanMiller, the troop commander, is in the Rogers Pass for the first time this year. It’s not
something that is covered in basic training. “Shooting down avalanches? No, it’s not included in the job description,’’ he says with a laugh. “We train for general warfare for the most part, but anything we can do to help another government agency for the people of Canada is what we do.’’

COWBOYS
GIDDY UP! The Kamloops Cowboy Festival returns this week in its 19th year of celebrating cowboy culture in B.C. The four-day event, which features live performances, workshops and activities all with a cowboy flare, draws an average of 4,000 to 5,000 people each year. Festival chairman Marc McMillan expects visitors from all over — with the vast majority hailing from Alberta — for this year’s event, which runs from Thursday, March 12 through Sunday, March 15. While McMillan said the festival will mostly largely resemble events from past years, this year will see the return of a popular harmonica workshop hosted by Gary Allegretto, which takes place on Saturday at 1 p.m.
McMillan said Allegretto guarantees even the musically challenged will leave the workshop with a few songs under their belt. “He was here two years ago and people loved it,” McMillan said. He also noted that workshop attendees will leave with their own harmonica. McMillan said the festival is not just for those looking for country music and cowboy boots. The event is intended to promote and preserve cowboy heritage in the province — with funds from the event going to the B.C. Cowboy Heritage Society, whose mandate is just that — and families and those interested are encouraged to come out. The event schedule includes: Thursday, March 12: Dinner

‘Violence is a man’s issue too’ DALE BASS
STAFF REPORTER

J
eff Connor wonders why public-health pamphlets on domestic violence always focus on women. They talk about how to identify if you’re being abused, services you can turn to people who can help. “Where’s the one addressing the men?” the health-education consultant asks. “Where’s the one that tells men what to do before they get violent? Why are women doing all the work? Violence is a man’s issue too.” It’s one of the reasons why Connor is part of the cast that will present A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant and a Prayer on March 20 and March 21, the final production in a three-part series of
ON HEELS OF THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES, ENSLER’S PLAY PUTS FOCUS ON MEN’S ROLE IN DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Even Ensler plays. The play comes from a compilation of writings Ensler, author of The Vagina Monologues — which will also be presented in Kamloops — edited with author Mollie Doyle. The anthology includes writings by people including Maya Angelou, Edward Albee, Michael Cunningham, Dave Eggers, Susan Miller and Carol Gilligan. Ensler has said the compilation looks at “an issue that lives smack in the middle of the world and is still not spoken, not seen, not given weight or significance.” Connor said he likes the idea of addressing the issue through art because all too often, health promotion
comes across heavyhanded. He said the stories run the gamut from funny to light-hearted to truly heavy ones. “This is not the Cinderella story,” he said. The production is similar for this play and The Vagina Monologues and Emotional Creature, another in the series — they are spoken-word performances as the casts read the stories they have chosen. Emotional Creature comes from stories Ensler gathered from young women around the world and the many challenges they face as they grow up. Connor said he was delighted every man he approached to do the two per-
formances said yes, including a single-parent dad in his mid-20s who is raising four kids on his own — three girls and a son. “He’s not a public speaker,” Connor said, “but he’s going to step up for this.” In the end, the cast has 16 men and four women involved. Connor said he’s delighted at the venue, the Barber Centre at Thompson Rivers University, because the room is perfect for a theatre-in-the-round presentation — and that’s what will happen as the cast is dispersed throughout the circular hall, stepping into the spotlight when it’s their turn. Monologues will be presented on March 5 and March 6 at the Coast
Kamloops Hotel and Convention Centre. Emotional Creature will be presented at the Alumni Theatre in the Clock Tower Building on the TRU campus. Connor and the rest of the cast will present their production on March 20 and 21. Doors open for each performance at 6:30 p.m., with curtain at 7:30 p.m. for all but Monologues, which begins at 8 p.m. Proceeds from each performance will go to benefit charities in the city, including the Elizabeth Fry Society’s second-stage women’s housing project, Kamloops YMCA-YWCA Children Who Witness Abuse program and White Buffalo Aboriginal and Metis Society’s men’s-
health program. Tickets for all are available at Kamloops

New Volvo is truly Swedish, through and through BOB MCHUGH
DRIVEWAY CANADA
Y
ou’ll probably see, hear and read much about an allnew Volvo called the XC90 in the coming months. The XC90 will be the first completely new, all-Volvo vehicle in a very long time and that’s mainly because of what’s been happening behind the Volvo logo in recent years. The XC90 is the first vehicle built on a new and adaptable “SPA” chassis structure designed for large and midsize vehicles. “The XC90 is the first of eight new models within the next three years that will be built on this new adaptable platform,” said Marc Engelen, president and CEO of Volvo Cars of Canada Corp. Volvo is also currently working to a new “CMA” small car platform. It will underpin and spawn a new generation of smaller vehicles and, according to Engelen, some of these will also be coming to Canada — good news for Volvo fans who lament the discontinued importation of its smaller 30 and 40 series vehicles. The first production Volvo car was made in Sweden way back in 1927. Designed to survive the country’s rough roads and cold temperatures, it was nicknamed “Jakob.” Structurally strong vehicles with highest level of passenger safety have become fundamental Volvo qualities and the brand has a designed-around-you build philosophy. Marc Engelen has been with Volvo for 22 years and served the company in Sweden, Germany and Belgium before accepting the Canadian leadership appointment in 2012. He was part of the Volvo negotiation group that led to the Zhejiang Geely Holding of China takeover of Volvo Cars, in 2010. The trucking, heavy duty and marine sides of the business are now under separate ownership, called
The Volvo XC90 is the first vehicle built on a new and adaptable “SPA” chassis structure designed for large and midsize vehicles.
AB Volvo. Both companies share the Volvo brand name and logo and co-operate in running the Volvo Museum. Prior to 2010, Volvo was under Ford Motor Company ownership, as part of its now defunct Premier Automotive Group, which also included Jaguar, Aston Martin and Land Rover. “When Ford took over they brought in a lot of Ford managers to align Volvo with Ford systems, procedures and processes,” said Engelen. Since the 2010 takeover,
Geely has not appointed even one manager to Volvo Cars (outside of China, where it operates two Volvo production facilities). Geely has invested heavily in Volvo Cars and as long as the company continues to deliver on its long-range strategy plan, it does not plan to interfere with current operations. “We are now responsible for our own destiny,” explained Engelen. “They have been pouring money, resources and investments into the company.”
The big items on the Volvo restructuring shopping list were to have its own platforms, its own engines and its own electrical architecture. “Our digital systems are intuitive,” added Engelen. “You shouldn’t need a manual in order to understand your car . . . and you know every car has a big manual. Everything should be simple and intuitive. “You shouldn’t have to go through 15 menus to do something.” In a vision statement,
Volvo boldly predicted that no person will be killed or seriously injured in a new Volvo car by 2020. “Our XC90 is already semi-autonomous if you can say that,” according to Engelen. “We do require a driver to have hands on the steering wheel, although this car can drive itself (provided the road infrastructure is compatible). It doesn’t matter if it rains or snows or its night. Our new auto-braking systems can recognise pedestrians, cyclists and
even animals bigger than 60 cm.” Volvo car sales were down by four per cent in Canada in 2014, however, but this was not unexpected as a couple of models were dropped from the product line. Redesigned and new editions of the S60 and the V60 have been added for 2015, in addition to XC90. Sales growth this year and for the next five years is forecast to be in the 20 to 25 per cent range, according to Engelen.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21
Gemini, the week starts off on a bumpy note but quickly turns itself around. By Friday, you will have a smile on your face and be ready to make the most of the weekend.

Connie: 1) Don has been known to lie. 2) I have the trophy. Don: 1) Someone else is the liar. 2) One of the women has the trophy.
