MOUNTIES CLEARED IN DEATH AT RIH

Kamloops Mounties have been exonerated in connection with the death of a man at Royal Inland Hospital last summer. The man was Tasered in an unsuccessful attempt to stop him from jumping from the third level of the hospital’s parkade. The Independent Investigation Office of B.C,’s (IIOBC) report, authored by civilian director Richard Rosenthal, has found RCMP officers did not commit a criminal offence and that a report to Crown counsel will not be forthcoming following a probe that included interviews with three Mounties and four witRead the report nesses. in its entirety The incident online at occurred on June 11, 2014, when kamloops an 18-year-old thisweek.com. patient at the /iiobreportrih hospital left the building in a distraught state. Responding Mounties spoke with the man on the third level of the parkade for about 40 minutes, according to the report. Concerned he might jump from the parkade, the man was Tasered, but officers told IIOBC investigators the Taser had no effect. “The CEW [conducted electrical weapon, or Taser] ended up being ineffective and the affected person ‘began fighting’ to get away,” Rosenthal wrote in his report. “Subject officers 1 and 2 attempted to gain control; however, the struggle lasted mere seconds before the affected person broke free. “The affected person ran and went over the ledge.” See REPORT A6

NO-NAME PROTEST

A series of weekend protests against the federal government’s anti-terrorism bill (Bill C-51) included this Saturday demonstration outside MP Cathy McLeod’s Victoria Street office. Some protesters, including this signcarrying opponent, did not want their name in print, expressing a concern the Conservative government could in some way punish them.

Child pornography was found by chance TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A retired Kamloops teacher accused of stashing discs of child pornography in the floor beneath his Sahali condo was suicidal after discovering the stockpile was gone, a judge has been told. Jerry Waselenkoff is facing one count of possession of child pornography. The 66-year-old’s trial began in B.C. Supreme Court on Monday, March 16. In a brief opening statement, Crown prosecutor Frank Caputo called the case against Waselenkoff “a straightforward one.” Caputo said a father and son performing minor renovations in the unit beneath Waselenkoff’s in October 2012 uncovered a collection of discs hidden beneath a heating duct in the ceiling. Franz van der Woning said he and his

son were fishing electrical wire through the ceiling of his condo unit to install a fireplace. Van der Woning said he cut a hole in the drywall to pull the wire through. When he put his hand in the hole, court heard, his hand touched something. “I think I told my son, ‘There’s something in here,’” Van der Woning said. “We took out what we found.” Van der Woning said they pulled a book of discs out of the ceiling and his son put one into a nearby computer. “I looked over his shoulder and the conclusion from what we saw, because there were very young girls, I didn’t make study of it,” he said. “That was enough for me. I thought it was a very young girl.” Van der Woning said his son phoned police and an officer later arrived and discovered more discs stashed in the ceiling.

Van der Woning said he never confronted Waselenkoff, an acquaintance, about the discovery until days later. Court heard van der Woning was in his home office when he heard rustling in the ceiling where the discs had been found. “My conclusion was somebody was trying to get into the floor — trying to retrieve where the packages were,” van der Woning said. “Shortly after that he knocked on my door or rang the bell and he said, ‘I would like to have a word with you.’” Van der Woning said he went to Waselenkoff’s apartment and the two began to talk about the discs. “I indicated that those things went to the RCMP and the discussion went on over what was there,” Van der Woning said. “Jerry said, ‘Well, that was bad. That was not good.’” See TRIP A6

In jail on immigration warrant

PIPELINE MEETING TRU INTERNATIONAL STUDENT CHARGED WITH BEATING GIRLFRIEND AT TRU During his bail hearing, court heard Arnautov flew into TOMORROW TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Thompson Rivers University international student who earlier this month was released on strict bail conditions after admitting to violently beating and choking his girlfriend is back behind bars — this time on an immigration warrant. Vladislav Arnautov, a 23-year-old business student from Russia, was arrested on Friday, March 13. When contacted by KTW, the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) refused to comment on the reason for his arrest. Arnautov was granted bail in Kamloops provincial court on March 3, five days after allegedly beating and choking his girlfriend over a two-hour period in their off-campus apartment.

a rage after discovering his girlfriend, also an international student, had been talking to another man. He surrendered his passport and was released on $3,000 cash bail, with strict conditions requiring him to live under house arrest except to attend classes and run essential errands. A CBSA official told KTW criminal matters generally take precedent over those of immigration. Arnautov remains in custody at the Kamloops RCMP detachment. It’s unclear when he may be able to seek bail under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. Kamloops Mounties refused to comment on Arnautov’s file. He is due back in Kamloops provincial court on his assault causing bodily harm charge on March 30.

Two environmental groups will host a town hall meeting in Kamloops tomorrow (March 18) for those with questions and concerns about Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project. The pipeline company has applied to Canada’s National Energy board for permission to almost triple the amount of oil and refined products it ships by pipe between Burnaby and the Alberta oil fields. That route goes through Kamloops and would mean extensive work in the Lac du Bois grasslands. If approved, the expanded pipeline could handle up to 890,000 barrels of oil per day. Wilderness Committee and ForestEthics Advocacy will host the free meeting, with organizers from both groups speaking during the meeting. No other speakers have of yet been announced. In a release, the groups said oil spills and leaks, particularly near waterways, are its focus of concern. In Kamloops, the pipeline would cross the Thompson River. The town hall meeting will take place from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. in room 200 of Thompson Rivers University’s Clock Tower Theatre.

New trades school unveiled NORKAM TRADES AND TECHNOLOGY CENTRE YEARS IN THE MAKING

DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

MARCH 14, 2015

Seven years ago, a provincial bureaucrat told Terry Sullivan a dedicated trades school would never be built in the Kamloops-Thompson district. The unnamed bureaucrat was wrong and the former superintendent of the School District 73 said he was delighted to tell the story as the NorKam Trades and Technology Centre was officially opened on Friday, March 13. Sullivan stood in the lobby of the facility near another now-retired politician who was just as determined to see what was just an idea 11 years ago become reality. Kevin Krueger, the MLA for the Kamloops-North Thompson riding in which the centre is situated, was described as “like a pit bull with this project” by his successor, MLA Terry Lake, who acknowledged Krueger in

loves anything mechanical, he wants to kickstart his eventual career and he wants to be sure it’s the right employment fit for him. Ria Hegyi, also a Valleyview student, said she chose the construction sampler to be sure her plan to study to be an electrician is right for her. She praised the program, which began last year, for treating the students “as if we are at a college or a university” and said being away from her home school for five months is worth it. “This gives you a clear picture of what being a tradesperson would be like.” Thirty-six students started their studies at the centre on Feb. 10, learning from Thompson Rivers University staff with their Red Seal certification in the various skills. The students are also earning TRU credits that don’t have to be used for trades, but can be applied to any general degree when they complete the courses.

the audience and said: “This is down to you.” Krueger said the centre is a credit to the proactivity of the community, which lobbied consistently for its creation. He singled out former NorKam secondary principal Hoberly Hove — who Krueger first met as a Grade 8 student when Hove was a student teacher in his class — as being “a great arm-twister.” Trades and technology education has grown in appreciation through the years, Krueger said. His father was a farmer who didn’t want his son working with his hands for a career, whereas today, the education sector has been challenged by the provincial government to help meet the increasing demand for skilled trades practitioners. Two who might join that industry spoke at the event. Tanner Thorpe, a Valleyview secondary student, said he chose the mechanics sampler courses for three reasons: He

B.C. needs to revamp its business immigrant program because money and talent is not getting into the country, said a policy member with Kamloops Chamber of Commerce. The chamber held its annual general meeting on Thursday night (March 12) at the Plaza Hotel, electing hotelier Steve Earl as its new president. The group also passed a number of policy resolutions that will be forwarded to the provincial body for recommendation to the province. Earl told KTW the Kamloops chamber has a reputation as a generator of policy ideas that get noticed provincewide, noting the voice of local business wants to improve on those strengths. New policies passed by the chamber include a safestreets initiative to limit panhandling at patios and other areas and asking the province to rewrite its rules for the business-immigrant class. Vice-chair and lawyer Ryan Scorgie said there were more than 600 applicants for the business-immigrant class in B.C. but fewer than 50 qualified under the program. The chamber wants the rules changed. Scorgie, who teaches commercial law at Thompson

Rivers University, said he knows students with knowledge and family money who cannot stay in the country. “These are people with access to money and resources and want to employ British Columbians,” he said. In choosing Earl, the chamber will be led by a longtime member and hotelier who threw himself into public service soon after moving to the city in 2004 when he chaired Tourism Kamloops. The manager of Holiday Inn Express in North Kamloops said the Chamber has gone through some changes recently, including moving downtown from Aberdeen and undertaking a new website. He wants to solidify those efforts during the year-long term. “It’s about maintaining that momentum,” Earl said. He said key strategies include continuing to reach out to individual businesses via walk-arounds, featuring a drop-in visit by a chamber director and a city councillor together. It will also continue meeting with other agencies in Kamloops. “We’ve made efforts together with other key boards in town... . We’re hoping this year to reach out to Community Futures, homebuilders and to build on that,” Earl said. The B.C. Liberal government’s minister of state for small business, Naomi

Federation of Labour’s $15-an-hour minimum-wage push. “We’ve been firm we won’t raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. We know what that will do to small business in B.C.,” Yamamoto said. She said small business will be ready for linking the increase to minimum wage each year to the cost of living. The current minimum wage of $10.25 will rise to

$10.45 as of Sept. 1, with increases each September thereafter linked to the Consumer Price Index. Servers in restaurants and pubs now make $9 an hour and will see their wage increase to $9.25 per hour. Yamamoto said half of the 110,000 people earning minimum wage in B.C. live at home with parents and half of those attend school. She said about 7,000 people in B.C. are supporting a family on that wage. Earl said there are few or no workers in the hotel industry in Kamloops working for minimum wage.

Senior, 84, from Savona faces child-porn charge CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

An 84-year-old Savona man accused of possession of child pornography will be sent for a psychiatric assessment due to concerns he cannot understand court proceedings. Yesterday (March 16) in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops, lawyers for both the Crown and defence were ready to embark

on a trial to determine if Derek Keilty is guilty of possessing child pornography. The charge dates from 2011. Crown prosecutor Chris Balison said an unnamed corporation that offers cloud storage for data informed the National Centre for Exploited and Missing Children — which maintains a cybertip line for allegations of child pornography — that it found a potentially criminal

image on its servers. chain of communication then ensued, involving the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the RCMP. Eventually, the RCMP requested information from Telus that led to a raid on Keilty’s home and a search of his computer. Defence lawyer Tessovitch was set to make a challenge based on the Canadian Charter

of Rights and Freedoms, arguing the original tip and subsequent requests and searches were unlawful. But, before that challenge could be argued, concerns arose first about Keilty’s ability to hear proceedings, then to understand them. Keilty suffers from a long list of medical problems with his vision, gastrointestinal tract, heart, lungs and, lately, memory, Tessovitch said.

“I’m quite concerned he’s not capable of processing the whole matter as we go,” Tessovitch said. Balison agreed to a psychiatric assessment of Keilty to determine whether he understands the proceedings. There is no question of his mental capability in 2011, when the charge was laid. “It may be Mr. Keilty is not fit to stand trial,” Balison acknowledged.

Decision on immigrant society lawsuit now in hands of judge CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The former executive director of Kamloops Immigrant Society acted with “malice” against the non-profit organization she was hired to manage, a lawyer argued in B.C. Supreme Court on Thursday, March 12. But, the defence lawyer acting for Wanda Herman in the civil trial said his client was guided by what she believed was harassment against her and the society’s employees.

The trial before Justice Martha Devlin wrapped up and Devlin is expected to render a decision at a later date. The Kamloops Immigrant Society (KIS) and president Bernard Igwe are suing Herman for conspiracy, breach of duties, breach of confidentiality, defamation and abuse of process. Due to what she said was anxiety stemming from harassment by Igwe, Herman went on sick leave in April 2009 and soon found another job without informing the society. She was fired in July after her involvement

in a plot to find new members and call a special meeting to oust the board. KIS lawyer Frank Scordo argued Herman acted with “animus and malice against the board and, therefore, the society.” The effort to oust the board fizzled and, by September, it cleaned house, firing another group of employees. Defence lawyer John Drayton said Herman was not motivated by revenge, but instead believed she and other employees were bullied by Igwe and other board members.

POSITION TITLE:

C-Zone Field Program Supervisor – 8 Months

LOCATION:

New Afton Mine, located 10km west of Kamloops, BC.

Membership rules were also loose, allowing and even encouraging employees to be members of the society. A rival committee of outsiders that formed to take over the board, which Herman appeared to orchestrate, “thought what they were doing was in the best interest of Kamloops Immigrant Services and Kamloops immigrants,” Drayton argued. The defence lawyer said Herman felt unsupported by a board that was stepping around her to deal with employee complaints.

New Gold is an intermediate gold mining company. The company has a portfolio of four producing assets and three significant development projects. The New Afton Mine in Canada, the Cerro San Pedro Mine in Mexico, the Mesquite Mine in the United States and the Peak Mines in Australia provide the company with its current production base and solid foundation.

Nifty November for tourism Kamloops’ hotels got a big bump in November, according to data from Tourism Kamloops. Hotel tax revenues were up 34 per cent from the same month in 2013, which the tourism organization is largely crediting to the 4 Nations Cup women’s hockey tourney, held in the city from Nov. 4 to Nov. 8. “The 4 Nations Cup showcased Kamloops’ outstanding sport venues and attracted

visitors to the city in a month where tourism visits are not at peak levels,” Tourism Kamloops committee chairwoman Katie Bahnsen said in a release. The City of Kamloops is also touting the Cup as a success for local businesses. In its year-end report, the city’s parks, recreation and cultural-services department estimated economic spinoffs from the event at $500,000.

Only two other sporting events were thought to generate more economic impact: the Tim Hortons Brier, estimated at $2.9 million, and the North American, Central American and Caribbean Athletics Association’s 2014 under-23 championships, at $800,000. The city also noted the 2014 Rotary Ribfest generated about $1 million in economic impact.

MILITARY MUST DO MORE TO HELP Nothing can bring Sheila Fyles’ son back, but she is continuing to fight for answers and change for the future. After Cpl. Stuart Langridge hanged himself on March 15, 2008, the Canadian Forces National Investigation Service launched three investigations that were botched from the start. A report released by the Military Police Complaints Commission outlines the series of mistakes made by the CFNIS following Langridge’s death. One of these mistakes was withholding a suicide note from Langridge’s parents for 14 months, for reasons that still have yet to be explained. The note, addressed to the Fyles, contained a special request for a private, family funeral as opposed to a military one. Instead, the Fyles were kept in the dark and were not allowed control over funeral arrangements. Canadian Forces Provost Marshal Rob Delaney said in a statement that mistakes were made in the investigation and that he is committed to learning from those mistakes. Yet there are still no answers to why these mistakes happened — and why it has taken this long to recognize them. Shaun and Sheila Fyles are two grieving parents who were caught in the middle of a bureaucratic mess. Sheila has made it clear she is willing to meet with Defence Minister Jason Kenney to discuss changes that need to be made in non-combat deaths. She has been fighting this battle for seven years now, and the government would be remiss if it did not use her knowledge and experience to improve the system. It is time to take action and implement solutions.

Leak has Liberals bailing

arch has been a good month for the B.C. NDP — and it’s been a while since I’ve been able to say that. Opposition critics fired a shot amidships at the B.C. Liberal government when they began questioning the lack of progress by the new auditor general for local government (AGLG). This experimental vessel was launched in Premier Christy Clark’s leadership campaign and, two years after it set sail, it is listing, taking on water and in danger of sinking. The original idea was to expand the B.C. Auditor general’s office so it could check the financial performance of local governments, too. Business groups were concerned about municipal taxes rising too quickly, with staff growing even as the province grappled with a hiring freeze. Mayors and councillors began to talk of mutiny over that plan, protesting that their budgets are already required to balance and are subject to annual audits. But, this will be “performance auditing,” Clark insisted, not just making sure the figures add up. It will determine the public is receiving “value for money” on projects like arenas and services such as police, by comparing different communities’ results. A new AGLG office opened in Surrey. The “value for money” promise is on the rocks. The government appointed a quasiindependent board (hello, BC

TOM FLETCHER

Our Man In

VICTORIA Ferries and TransLink) that hired chartered accountant Basia Ruta, a veteran of the federal auditor-general office who had also served as chief financial officer at Environment Canada and had done local government audits in private practice. NDP local government critic Selina Robinson started asking why this office has spent $5.2 million and produced only one audit out of a promised 18. Community Minister Coralee Oakes, a former Quesnel councillor in her first cabinet post, allowed there had been some rough water, but added there is smooth sailing ahead. Then came a big leak, in the form of a “work environment review” of the good ship AGLG that was given to the NDP by a seasick crew member. It described chaos below decks, with “shifting priorities and unclear direction,” as well as “wasted time and work” and “inefficient use of consultant and staff resources.” Worse, the review noted a human-resources monitor had

been stationed at the office for most of January to maintain a “respectful workplace for all employees.” “A peacekeeper,” as NDP leader John Horgan described the grim scene. “This is like we’re in Cyprus.” Then it was confirmed that when the AGLG board tried to conduct a performance review, Ruta’s response was to hire a lawyer. Ruta seems to be decisive when protecting her job, if not when hiring, running the office or meeting her own work targets. Whatever goodwill had been restored with local governments over this experiment is likely gone. Municipal staffers have been dealing with new auditor demands as their councils grind away at their own budgets, and now they see signs that what they have contributed may well have been swept overboard. Oakes remains on deck, eyes fixed on the horizon. An audit of capital procurement in Rossland is finally scheduled to be done by the end of March, she said. Similar reports on Delta and Sechelt are due in April. The latest revision of that schedule is underway, no doubt in another series of long, acrimonious meetings. Clark addressed the situation in her last question period before the legislature’s spring break this week. She didn’t have a lot to say about the AGLG’s voyage of the damned, mostly familiar rhetoric about “lower taxes, less red tape” and so on. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

BILL C-51 DILUTING O CANADA’S MEANING Editor: While waiting for my nephew’s school concert to begin last week, I re-read the lyrics of O Canada on the gym walls. The words “strong and free” freshly resonated with me. In them, there is such a vision of Canada at its best, of Canadians at their best. It’s a vision I fear is slipping from us as we are encouraged to be fearful and to respond rather than to lead. Bill C-51 epitomizes so much of recent legislation and policy that denies we should be strong and free. In the guise of offering protection, it tells us we are weak, incapable and in need of care. It acts like a nanny state, not a nanny who encourages us to become the best we can be

but, rather, to sit still, eat our greens and don’t talk back. When the federal privacy commissioner, four former prime ministers and former supreme court judges, solicitors-general and a CSIS watchdog — as well as more than 100 law professors from across Canada — do talk back with well-articulated, reasoned and rational concerns, yet their opinions are discounted, one must question who is in fear and of what? These experts are not suggesting we be left vulnerable to increased violence. Rather, they are saying our present legislation covers most of the concerns (and any gaps are more related to reduced resources to the RCMP) and any changes to the legislation

that increases the reach of security agencies should not be so vague as to concern First Nation and environmental protestors. And, any changes should include provisions for rigorous oversight. History and current world events warn us that that oversight of our governments is one of the most important security measures a society can have. We appear to be moving toward being a country with a state that fears the people it is supposed to serve and with a people that fears those who are supposed to serve them — a slippery slope away from a truly strong and free Canada we should aspire to be. Catrina Crowe Kamloops

CONSERVATIVES’ PROPOSED LAW DOES NOT MAKE SENSE Editor: There were two separate attacks by mentally ill individuals on military personnel last year. The Globe & Mail pointed out there was no evidence either attacker was connected to ISIL, yet there are more than 1,200 missing and murdered aboriginal

women across the country. When Harper was asked last year in an interview by the CBC’s Peter Mansbridge why the federal government has not organized an inquiry into this tragedy, he said “it isn’t really high on our radar.” In addition, dozens of people are killed in gang violence, such as in the Surrey Six murders.

The question we should be asking is: Why are ISIL fighters bearing American-made weapons? That simple fact casts a harsh light on the history of U.S. policy in a country destroyed by American bombs and a civil war. Bill C-51 just doesn’t make sense to me. Linda Davidson Kamloops

[speak up] You can comment on any story you read @ kamloopsthisweek.com

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online RE: STORY: MINIMUM WAGE TO BE TIED TO INFLATION:

“Keeping people on poverty wages is not good for business. “The effect of raising wages puts more money into the economy by giving the poor more money for food and the basics of life. “Our government is not propeople, but pro-big business.” — posted by Tim Hulsey “Matching the B.C. consumer price index is a good idea, but they should back date this a decade ago, to the year they froze the minimum wage, to make up for lost ground. “In fact, they should do this for all public employees in BC. “LIEberals — a very accurate term.” — posted by Fraser

LIMITING DEBATE ON BILL IS ANYTHING BUT DEMOCRATIC Editor: While I understand why Bill C-51 is essential, I resent how Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Conservatives are limiting debate in Parliament before passing the bill into law. In the rules of Parliamentary democracy, in principle the Prime Minister is a first among equals to lead his political party. By arbitrarily limiting debate on this very important issue, Harper has shown yet again the contempt he has for the Canadian people, especially those who are not followers of his

political doctrines. When opposition members question him on Bill C-51, he mocks them and implies they sympathize with terrorists. What about the political debates of the past, when the House of Commons remained in session late in the night to collectively hammer out legislation? Would we have a country of Canada should Sir John A. MacDonald have limited debate on some of the vital legislation that created the vital framework of governance?

I think the Conservatives need to extend the conversation in Bill C-51 in Parliament and in describing in precise terms what they are proposing to the Canadian public. I wish I could count on my MP, Cathy McLeod, to listen to my suggestion and voice my opinion that C-51 deserves wider debate. However, to be a Conservative these days means being loyal to the party leader and not the people one represents. Philip Mason Kamloops

AJAX DESERVES ASSESSMENT AFFORDED OTHER PROJECTS Editor: In the eyes of the global scientific community, the Ajax debate is over. The proposed mine would be too big, too close and too polluting. It would be the largest open-pit mining operation this close to a major city anywhere in the world. The environmental assessment of the Ajax proposal has not included a healthimpact assessment and, without one, the people of Kamloops become victims of unfettered capitalism. Lung disease is the defining health-care issue of our time.

The numbers of people living with, and dying from, respiratory illnesses are rising sharply, even as mortality rates of other chronic diseases stabilize and fall. One in five Canadians — a number equal to the combined populations of Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia — suffer from lung disease. Chronic obstructive lung disease is the No. 1 cause of hospitalization in Canada. Eighteen per cent of these patients are then re-admitted on an annual basis. Lung cancer kills more people than breast, ovarian, colon, prostate

cancers combined. One in every five children has asthma. The World Health Organization released data that shows one in every eight deaths on Earth occurs due to air pollution. Seven-million people worldwide suffer premature deaths and air pollution is now the world’s largest environmental risk. One in five in your family suffers from lung disease. Dr. John Granton, national chairman of the Lung Research Campaign and chairman of the Ontario Lung Association, said the heavy human and

economic toll exacted by respiratory illness threatens to overwhelm our health-care system. According to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, particulate matter 2.5 to 10 in our air is the worst in parts of Quebec and Ontario and in the British Columbia Interior. Kamloops receives an F grade due to the pollution trapped in its valleys. The toll of air pollution in Canada — occurring on an annual basis, with Kamloops suffering a disproportionately high share — includes: • 21,000 premature deaths; • 620,000 doctor visits; • 92,000 emergencyroom visits; • 11,000 hospital admissions; • $8 billion in

economic costs. Dr. Brian Moench of Utah, a member of the Union of Concerned Scientists, noted more than 2,000 studies in the last 10 years have significantly broadened our understanding of the public-health consequences of air pollution. The normal development of the human embryo and the integrity of our DNA are threatened by levels of air pollution that will only be worsened by a mine such as Ajax. This is due to the particulate pollution with absorbed heavy metals that emanates from the open-pit mining process. Dr. Michael Brauer, professor at the School of Population and Public health at UBC, described the harm of exercise in a polluted valley and the statistics foretell

Kamloops will be an unlikely place to continue its promotion as the Tournament Capital of Canada. As stated by Interior Health Authority public health officer Dr. Peter Baras, “The proposed Ajax mine is ill-conceived and poorly situated and would represent, if enacted, a serious public-health hazard for the people of Kamloops.” The World Scientific Community dictates we must have a comprehensive federal/provincial assessment, including a health-impact assessment, as was done last year in Marathon, Ont. That assessment was done in a community smaller than Kamloops for a smaller proposed mine located much farther away, following which the proponent withdrew its application.

In that review, Health Canada played an important role as a panel member. In addition, a similar comprehensive assessment of environmental health (panel review) was undertaken with the proposed Taseko/ Prosperity Mine near Williams Lake — and the mine application was rejected. Moms for Clean Air, the Kamloops Area Preservation Association, all Kamloops doctors and those Kamloops residents who remain knowledgeable and informed demand the same assessment. In legal terms, this is called fairness and due process. Dr. Dennis Karpiak internal medicine and respiratorydiseases specialist Kamloops

NATIONAL NEWS Canada won’t back down on Crimea: Nicholson THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Foreign Affairs Minister Rob Nicholson is marking the first anniversary of the tainted referendum in Crimea with a promise never to recognize the outcome. The vote led to Russia annexing the strategic Ukrainian peninsula and heated up a crisis which continues today. Nicholson said Canada does not recognize the annexation and insists on a full Russian withdrawal Prime Minister Stephen Harper has taken a hard line on Ukraine, imposing sanctions and repeatedly urging Russian President Vladimir Putin to get out of the country. Harper has travelled to Kiev to show support. He also invited Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to address a joint session of Parliament last September.

Potential year-long commitment to fight ISIL as cabinet weighs military options MURRAY BREWSTER

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The federal cabinet is poised to decide on extending the combat mission against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant and, should it be approved, several defence sources say it likely would involve a commitment of more than six months, possibly up to a year. Defence Minister Jason Kenney wouldn’t indicate yesterday (March 16) which way the debate is going, but said a verdict will come in the very near future and that “we’re considering various options.’’ He said it is a matter of looking at what meaningful contribution Canada can make to degrading the capability of extremists to wage their bloody campaign. Kenney and other senior Conservatives have dropped broad hints for weeks the threat posed by extremists in Iraq and

Extended mission could take new tack OTTAWA — Defence Minister Jason Kenney has said the cabinet is close to a decision on the future of the country’s military mission against the Islamic State. He said “various options’’ are being considered. Here are five possibilities drawn from defence experts and the existing record:

Increase the number of CF-18s in the area Expanding the air campaign into Syria might require sending more CF-18 fighter-bombers to augment the seven there now. The air force steadily increased its contingent of CF-18s during the Kosovo bombing campaign in the late 1990s.

exchanged gunfire with Islamic State forces.

Expand the bombing campaign into Syria The current air campaign in Iraq could expand into Syria, where the Islamic State has carved out considerable territory alongside other forces battling to oust President Bashar al-Assad.

Authorize special forces to go on the offensive The Harper government insists the current ground deployment is an “advise and assist’’ mission with Kurdish forces and not combat, even though special forces troops have guided air strikes and

Send more military aid and specialized equipment A new, potentially wideranging threat emerged over the weekend as Islamic State forces were thought to have used chlorine gas in an attack in Tikrit.

Syria is not something that should be left unchecked by Canada — or its allies. The parliamentary mandate of the existing mission is to expire within the next few weeks. The question of dura-

tion for an extended commitment is simply a political calculation, one source said. An extension of six months would require another evaluation and renewal in October at time

Join U.S. and other allies in large-scale training of Iraqi forces The cabinet could send Canadian troops to join U.S. Army soldiers and marines who are training Iraqi conventional army units.

when the government is expected to be campaigning for re-election. The Harper cabinet doesn’t need Parliament to authorize a renewed commitment at any time, but the Conservatives have

sought all-party support in the House of Commons for such missions, even if they have rarely received it. Kenney dampened speculation last week that the government would authorize an increase in the number of specialforces troops, who are providing Kurdish peshmerga fighters with training and assistance, including guiding air strikes. It’s unclear whether cabinet would consider changing the scope of how the elite soldiers carry out their mission by authorizing offensive operations and commando-style raids into Islamic State territory. Kenney was circumspect when asked about it last week. The air force has six CF-18 jets bombing Islamic State targets along with two surveillance planes and an aerial tanker operating out of bases in Kuwait. The warplanes have been limited to targets in Iraq.

Canada, U.S. sign new border agreement Deal aimed at speeding up crossings for residents on both sides ALEXANDER PANETTA

THE CANADIAN PRESS

WASHINGTON — Travel to the United States by road, rail and sea could undergo a major revamp as the result of a new agreement between Canada and the U.S. Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney and Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson have signed a customs pre-clearance agreement that was years in the making. The arrangement would allow customs agents to work in each other’s countries, which means they could screen passengers away from the border and ease the choke points. That process already exists in air travel at eight airports. People can clear U.S. customs in cities such as Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal and then, when they land, skip lines in U.S. airports. The countries had signalled their intention to expand that arrangement

to land and sea travel as part of the 2011 Beyond the Border deal between Prime Minister Stephen Harper and President Barack Obama. But, they missed a late2012 deadline to reach a legal agreement that would let law-enforcement officials operate inside the neighbouring country. A little more than two years later, they have finally reached that deal. “This historic new agreement builds on decades of successful pre-clearance operations in Canadian airports,’’ Blaney said in a statement distributed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. “It will enhance the security at our border and create jobs and growth in Canada by improving the flow of legitimate goods and people between our two countries.’’ Maryscott Greenwood of the Canadian American Business Council said the agreement will use modern technology to speed things

up at the border. “It’s dramatic, it’s historic, it’s a big day in CanadaU.S. relations,’’ she said. The statement says the agreement applies to all modes of transport, which could include passenger vehicles. It also says customs agents will be allowed to carry firearms in each other’s countries. What’s not clear is how easily the plan might be implemented. The agree-

ment does not guarantee several developments that would be crucial, including the legislation passing in both countries and budgeting for new customs infrastructure. Participation of the private sector in places such as bus and train stations also has to be nailed down. The governments have expressed a desire to open the border to legitimate travellers while still screening for criminals.

In a recent speech, Johnson described the chilling effect of the 2001 terrorist attacks on U.S. border security. The statistics bear that out. Land travel into the U.S. declined in 2001 and never recovered. Data from the U.S. Bureau on Travel Statistics shows 34 per cent fewer vehicle passengers entered the U.S. last year across the northern border compared with 2000, with the biggest

drops occurring in 2001 and 2003. A study by Deloitte four years ago pointed to several reasons for a decline in Americans making the back-and-forth trip — one was border wait times, but the study also cited currency fluctuations and the opening of casinos on the U.S. side. The U.S. imposed tighter travel-document rules in the wake of the 2001 attacks was also cited.

CFIA suspends Costco’s licence to import fish

Room Special

THE CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — Canada’s food safety watchdog has suspended Costco Canada’s licence to import fish. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency said the retail giant is not following food safety controls on a consistent basis. The agency said Costco is in violation of federal fish-inspection regulations and the suspension of its licence went into effect on Feb. 26. It said there is no product recall associated with the licence suspension. “The CFIA has determined that adequate controls for food safety are not being reliably implemented by the company on a consistent basis, which is in violation of the fish inspection regulations,’’ the agency said in a statement posted on its website. The CFIA said Costco can’t import fish products into Canada until is takes corrective action and the agency is satisfied the chain can effectively manage food-safety risks. Costco Canada said the

import licence was used to import a limited number of loads of canned tuna products. The company said the suspension does not affect any other fish sold in Costco Canada warehouses. “As part of its corrective action plan, Costco is currently updating and strengthening its standard operating

procedures to ensure full compliance with CFIA’s fish-inspection regulations and reinstatement of its fish import licence,’’ the company said in an email yesterday. “This issue did not present any risk to Costco’s members, nor was there any recall associated with this licence suspension.’’ Costco said its licence was

suspended for not following three administrative issues in the last two years. Twice the store failed to properly notify the CFIA about a load of canned tuna being imported. On another occasion, canned tuna was transported directly to Costco’s depot for distribution, rather than to a warehouse for CFIA inspection.

So you’d like a sumptuous dinner of potatoes served with potatoes? Good point - Dorian it is.

Canadians among those hit by Vanuatu storm THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The Department of Foreign Affairs says it is believed 29 Canadian citizens are in areas of the South Pacific archipelago of Vanuatu that have been affected by cyclone Pam. The United Nations said 24 people are confirmed dead and 3,300 have been displaced by the cyclone.

According to the UN, radio and telephone communications with outer islands have not yet been established two days after what Vanuatu’s president called a “monster’’ storm. Foreign Affairs said its office in Canberra, Australia and the Australian High Commission in Port Vila are providing assistance to Canadian

citizens in Vanuatu affected by the storm. Those bodies and the Emergency Watch and Response Centre in Ottawa have been attempting to reach Canadians known to be in the region, and Foreign Affairs said consular officials in Canberra will continue those efforts. The UN said basic emergency rations are being provided to

evacuees, sheltering in 37 evacuation centres on the main island of Efate and in the provinces of Torba and Penama. The damaged airport in Port Vila has reopened, allowing some aid and relief flights to reach the country. Friends and relatives concerned about Canadian citizens they believe to be in the

t was one of the more memorable games in recent Kamloops Blazersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; history, but Charles Inglis and the Prince George Cougars ruined the ending for fans at Interior Savings Centre on March 18, 2011. Inglis, the 14th participant in a marathon shootout, went upstairs to beat Kamloops netminder Jeff Bosch, securing a 3-2 victory that destroyed the Blazersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; playoff hopes in Game 71 of the rollercoaster 2010-2011 campaign. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember how intense that game was,â&#x20AC;? said Blazersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; captain Matt Needham, who was 15 at the time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was like a Game 7 and it made our last game mean nothing.â&#x20AC;? Four years later, the Blazers have a chance to avenge that defeat, with three consecutive tilts against the Cougars to finish the 2014-2015 regular season, the first one tomorrow (Wednesday, March 18) in Prince George on the fourth anniversary of the shootout thriller. Prince George, with 63 points, is two points ahead of Kamloops, holding onto the third and final playoff spot in the B.C. Division. The Blazers are tied with the TriCity Americans in eighth place in the Western Conference. If two teams finish tied for eighth, they meet in a one-game playoff to see which squad advances to the post-season with a wildcard berth. Whichever team has more victories will host the play-in showdown. Kamloops and Prince George have each played 69 games. TriCity will play its 69th tonight in Seattle against the Thunderbirds. The Americans wrap their season with two games against Portland and one against Spokane. Blazer backers should be encouraged with their teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance in a homeand-home series against the

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

Cole Ully and the Kamloops Blazers are looking to avoid being tripped up on their quest for the WHL playoffs. The first of three consecutive games against the Prince George Cougars to finish the 2014-2015 regular season will be played tomorrow night at the CN Centre in the Gateway to the North. Kamloops split a weekend series against the Western Conference-leading Kelowna Rockets, winning 5-1 at Interior Savings Centre on Friday and losing 2-1 at Prospera Place on Saturday.

conference-leading Kelowna Rockets on the weekend. With a 5-1 victory over Kelowna at ISC on Friday, Kamloops snapped an 18-game losing skid against its rival from the Little Apple â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a slide that dated back to 2013. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The guys are really starting to believe in each other,â&#x20AC;? Blazersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; head coach Don Hay told reporters, noting every line contributed to the victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a long time coming, so the win feels good against one of the top teams in the league.â&#x20AC;? Collin Shirley had a pair of goals in what was one of the Blazersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; best efforts of the season. For the game story, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com.

Friday, including forwards Tyrell Goulbourne and Rourke Chartier and defenceman Josh Morrissey. Chartier returned to the lineup and opened the scoring in the rematch in Kelowna on Saturday. Kamloops had another strong game, outshooting the home

team 30-26, but fell 2-1 in regulation, with Rocketsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defenceman Madison Bowey scoring the winner at 18:16 of the second period. The goal must have felt like a measure of revenge for Bowey. At 15:27 of the third period on Friday, Blazersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; D-man Michael Fora plastered Bowey, who felt there should have been a penalty on the play. He smashed his stick against the glass in disgust and was assessed a two-minute unsportsmanlike penalty and a 10-minute misconduct. The top-prospect D-man was heckled by fans at ISC as he protested the call on his way off the ice. Boston Bruinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; forward Brett Connolly scored both of the Cougarsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; goals in regulation against the Blazers on March 18, 2011,

contributing to the defeat which meant Kamloops would miss the playoffs for only the second time in franchise history. Thomas Frazee and Bernhard Keil notched goals that night for the home team and Bosch stood on his head between the pipes. Inglis went on to have a forgettable stint with the Blazers before leaving the WHL. Needham, Brady Gaudet and Logan McVeigh are the only Kamloops players remaining on the roster who, along with 5,088 fans, had the wind knocked out of their sails in the shootout defeat four years ago. Prince George shelled Kamloops 5-1 in a mean-nothing matchup at the CN Centre to close out the season on March 19, 2011. Josh Connolly, Brettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s younger brother, will feature on the Cougarsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; blueline this week. He was traded to Prince George in January after spending two-and-ahalf seasons in Kamloops. Most of the names have changed, but the situation is similar â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Blazers are looking to avoid missing the post-season and it all boils down to games against the Cougars in the last week of the campaign. Should Kamloops fall short, it will mark the first time in franchise history the team has missed the playoffs in consecutive seasons. If the Cougars falter and miss the post-season, it would be a crushing blow to a franchise thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been pushing its New Ice Age slogan, with new ownership willing its team not to miss the playoffs for a fourth straight season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you play a team eight times a year, you develop that rivalry,â&#x20AC;? Needham said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would make it a lot sweeter to knock a team like that out of the playoffs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure Schabes [former Blazersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; captain Chase Schaber] would be pretty pumped.â&#x20AC;? Prince George is hosting Kamloops on Friday and the teams meet in the regular-season finale at ISC on Saturday.

impressive in their four-game run against Osoyoos, winning nearly every battle and outworking a team that was expected by many to be the favourite of the series. Though Mullen faced 63 shots in Game 4, the Storm blocked or deflected nearly as many, frustrating a veteran Coyotes team. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a feat made all the more impressive by the fact that injuries and suspensions left the Storm with just four defencemen in the lineup for Game 4.

Guise grateful for support ADAM WILLIAMS

HALL OF FAME APRIL 11th at the THOMPSON RIVERS UNIVERSITY GRAND HALL 6:00PM COCKTAILS • 7:00PM DINNER

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

In the quiet moments, the moments when he finally allows his aching muscles to sink into the plush fabric of his living room couch, Colin Guise feels like his body is encased in a cast. When he stops trying to fight his body’s ache and his nearunresponsive limbs, Guise imagines himself weighed down by hardened plaster and shreds of cotton, dragging an inflexible mould with his every move. It’s the easiest way for him to think about how his life has changed, how his body no longer feels like his own. It’s easier than thinking about how a normally harmless infection nearly killed him after invading his body and growing for months, ravaging with debilitating headaches and blurred vision. It’s easier than dwelling on the feeling of drunkenness Guise fought through as the mass grew on his brainstem. It’s easier than recalling the brain surgeries to relieve the pressure built up by the loonie-sized lump of festering tissue — an abscess. It’s easier than thinking about the months of recovery that have left him unable to referee soccer and basketball, unable to resume his role on the Kamloops Youth Soccer Association board. In those quiet moments, after a day of fighting to get better, Guise feels something else: Gratitude. He feels grateful to the people of Kamloops, those he knows and those he has never met, for donating more than $10,000 to his family, which has helped to pay his mortgage, put gas in his car and put food in his mouth — even as he struggled to chew and swallow. But, most of all, Guise is grateful for their support. He’s grateful for the progress he has made, even though it’s sometimes frustratingly slow. He is grateful he is now able to walk,

no longer bound to a hospital bed, a slave to machines and tubes. He’s grateful to have seen his 44th birthday on March 11. And, he’s grateful to be alive, thankful the loonie abscess is now the size of a dime and withering by the day. He’s proud that, on a fresh spring day on the green grass of McArthur

Island, under a fading blue sky streaked with sunlit clouds, he was able to run. He ran the beep test at the end of a KYSA referee clinic, with the support of two people. He may have run slow, but he ran. “I met a whole lot of interesting people inside the hospital — I still do,” Guise said. “The more I see how

they’re working with things, just to pry open their fingers and stuff, I feel very fortunate. Even though it was major surgery and I almost died — it’s hard to fathom for me right now — but I could have been a lot worse off.” So, Guise lies back on his couch and his muscles begin to soften as he tries not to think about how hard things have been or how hard they will continue to be. His daughter smiles at seeing her perpetually busy dad finally having a little time to relax — even if he’s not doing much relaxing. And, when the thoughts of his painful road to recovery inevitably begin to surface, he instead focuses on the gratitude he feels and the hope all will be OK in the end.

SPORTS KAMLOOPS KIDS CONTRIBUTE TO OHA’S GOLD-MEDAL HAUL Kamloops played no small part in the Okanagan Hockey Academy’s performance at Canadian Sport School Hockey League championships on the weekend. Facing off against the Yale Hockey Academy in the championship final of the Prep Division, OHA picked up points from Kamloops natives Brendan Semchuk (1G, 1A) and Max Patterson (1G) en route to a 6-0 victory. Hayden Dick, a bantam draft selection of the Kamloops Blazers, also had a goal and an assist. Kamloops defenceman Solomon Seibel was held off the scoresheet, but was in the OHA lineup for the gold-medal-winning performance.

‘Every win now is a big win’ From page A16

“It’s fantastic to see,” Storm head coach Ed Patterson said following Game 4. Throughout the season, Patterson has put his team through a “compete day” every Tuesday, during which his players work on winning board and stick battles and outworking opponents. “They see why we did it all season,” he continued. “They see why they had to hate each other once in a while after some stick battles in practice, the odd fight, but now they see why they were sacrificing to do that and it’s really paying off.” The Storm will look to eliminate the Coyotes on the road tonight (March 17) and will play Game 6 in Kamloops tomorrow, if necessary. Though with another complete team effort, the safe bet may be the series won’t make it that far. “Every win now is a big win,” Mullen said. “We just need to prepare. “I felt I prepared

the way I needed to today and it showed on the ice.” OVERTIME — The Kamloops Storm are hoping to have the aid of Kamloops natives Max Patterson and Solomon Seibel as the playoffs progress. Both players recently finished their seasons with the Okanagan Hockey Academy . . . Heading into Game 5, the Kimberley Dynamiters lead the Beaver Valley Nitehawks 3-1 in the KIJHL’s other conference final . . . In Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League action, the Campbell River Storm lead the Victoria Cougars 1-0 in the league championship . . . In the Pacific Junior Hockey League, the Mission City Outlaws and the North Vancouver Wolf Pack will battle for the league title. As Mission City is set to host the 2015 Cyclone Taylor Cup, the B.C. junior B championship, both Mission City and North Vancouver will play in the tournament.

GMs’ meetings underway Rooney scores knockout blow BOCA RATON, Fla. — NHL general managers discussed diving and embellishment, the potential for more video review including goaltender interference and emergencygoaltender protocol on the first day of their annual March meeting. The big topic of three-onthree overtime will wait until today (March 17).

GMs didn’t make any decisions yesterday, instead breaking up into three groups to talk about some of the issues that most fans see as small but are important to those in the game. That included subjects like crease presence. “These things seem anal until you get into a game, until you get into Game 6 or 7 of the

playoffs,’’ director of hockey operations Colin Campbell said. “They’re not anal anymore, they’re important.’’ The whole group, which includes commissioner Gary Bettman and other league brass, will discuss expanding video review to goaltender interference and the hottest topic of three-on-three overtime on Wednesday.

Eastern Washington to join March Madness SPOKANE — Eastern Washington coach Jim Hayford’s early memories of the NCAA Tournament include using pencils and paper as a child to make his own bracket. Now, he can add another fond memory. No. 13 seed Eastern Washington is in the tournament for the first time since 2004 and only the second time in its 32-year history as a Division I program. The

Eagles will play fourthseeded Georgetown on Thursday, March 18, in Portland, Oregon. Eastern Washington (26-8) needed a big second half comeback fueled by Tyler Harvey, the nation’s leading scorer at 22.9 points per game, to beat Montana in the Big Sky Conference title game on Saturday and advance to the NCAA Tournament. Harvey was pleased

with the 13th seed and the opponent. “They gave us a lot of respect,’’ Harvey said of the selection committee. “We are fortunate for that.’’ Harvey was also pleased by the enthusiastic crowd that gathered at Eastern Washington’s campus in Cheney for Selection Sunday. The Eagles averaged 1,900 fans per game at home this season.

SPIN TO TUESDAY

WIN!

“From where we were four years ago to now, it’s nice to see the people come out,’’ Harvey said. The Eagles, who set a team record for wins this season, have a thin tournament history. The 2004 squad was the first to make it to the NCAA Tournament, where the Eagles lost 75-56 to Oklahoma State. The 2003 team lost to Wyoming in the first round of the NIT. By comparison, the opponent Hoyas (21-10) are in it for the eighth time in 11 years. “We have our hands full, but our team is fearless,’’ Hayford said. “It didn’t matter what team came up on that board.’’

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MANCHESTER — Wayne Rooney scored a superb solo goal, and produced just as good a celebration, as Manchester United convincingly beat Tottenham 3-0 in the Premier League on Sunday, March 15, to open up a six-point gap between the teams in the race for Champions League qualification. After dribbling his way through Tottenham’s fragile defence to score United’s third goal in the 34th minute, Rooney celebrated by shaping a series of boxing punches before falling over on his back. Rooney was making fun of a video, released by a British newspaper on Sunday, that appeared to show him being floored by a punch by former United teammate Phil Bardsley in a light-hearted sparring session in Rooney’s kitchen. “It’s what friends do — they mess around in the house,’’ Rooney said. “It was a couple of mates in a private

Rooney square in the face with a punch, sending the England captain to the floor, where he lay before the video came to an abrupt end. Rooney played down the incident. And Bardsley’s wife, Tanya, suggested in a Twitter post that Rooney was joking around in the video. “2 mates havin a laugh video doesn’t show Wayne jumping straight up and laughing with Phil #cleveredit,’’ she tweeted. Rooney ensured the incident stayed in the headlines thanks to his jokey celebration against Spurs. He sprinted toward the corner flag, did some shadow-boxing and then fell backward to the hilarity of the fans nearby. It was a great way for United to start a tough run of games that sees the team play Liverpool, a resurgent Aston Villa, Manchester City and Chelsea in its next four games. “We have waited a long time for such a victory,’’ United manager Louis Van Gaal said.

house, and somehow it’s managed to get on the front page of a national newspaper.’’ Goals by Marouane Fellaini and Michael Carrick put United ahead 2-0 after 19 minutes at Old Trafford in arguably United’s best performance of the season, albeit against a Spurs team that capitulated in the first half — mirroring many of its displays against top sides last season. They were thought to be a thing of the past but one resurfaced at Old Trafford. United stayed fourth, a point behind Arsenal and now only two behind secondplace Manchester City. Rooney awoke on the day of the match to a front-page story in The Sun on Sunday that described how he was knocked down by Bardsley, who now plays for Stoke, during a sparring session last month. Footage released by the newspaper showed the pair pulling on boxing gloves and trading blows in the kitchen of Rooney’s home. Bardsley catches

ò Obituaries & In Memoriam ô NETTIE (NADIA) REIN (née HARDYCHUK)

DOROTHEA JENKINS

REILLY

Nettie was born in Bright Sand, Saskatchewan and at the age of 20 she moved to Prince George, BC where she worked in the post office. In 1956 she moved to Kitimat and worked at the old Hudson’s Bay Department store where she met her first and only love, Arnold Rein. They were married on October 12, 1957 and were blessed with three children, whom she adored.

Nettie will be dearly missed and forever remembered as a loving wife, mother and grandmother. She was always ready with a cookie or a treat from her candy jar. She enjoyed making everyone special on their birthdays and every holiday was filled with joy because of her elaborate preparations and enthusiasm. Nettie was proud of her home and she made sure that everyone felt welcomed. She saw the good in everyone and was known to be a non-judgmental and accepting person. Arnie & Nettie loved to go camping, fishing and also golfed for many years. Nettie enjoyed all kinds of music, playing cards, dancing and comedy. She was also an avid vegetable and flower gardener, creative cook and the “queen of clean”. Her enduring, positive attitude towards life was notable right up until her final day. She never complained and demonstrated incredible strength as she faced life’s challenges and finally a terminal illness. Her powerful influence and love will be cherished in our memories forever. As per her request, there will be no memorial service. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the BC Cancer Society or the BC Children’s Hospital would be her wish.

MATHIAS MADSEN HOLST February 1, 1935 - March 6, 2015

Matt came to Canada at the age of 22 years working his way across the Prairies on farms to settle in the Fraser Valley with a Danish owned farm to learn English. He moved onto a mining career starting on Northern Vancouver Island, the Yukon where he operated a dredge and finally to settle in the Kamloops region, retiring from Afton Mines in the early 1990’s. An active outdoorsman Matt enjoyed tennis, skiing, sailing, wind surfing, biking and hiking. Matt volunteered his time with many clubs and events, fitting it in around his travelling adventures. Music and dancing were an important part of his life. Once diagnosed with Parkinson’s Matt moved from his “man cave” at Paul Lake to Kamloops and continued many of the activities of which he was able to enjoy. Matt resided at Ridgeview Lodge where he was well cared for. Predeceased by his parents in Denmark and recently his brother. He will be missed by his close friends, Len & Heather and Judy. There will be a Celebration of Life held this summer.

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

h same thi he thing h happens each year to people at the consumer tasting, the finale to the Kamloops Wine

Festival. Someone tastes a wine, likes it, thinks they want to buy it and writes down the information, hoping theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to find the slip of paper theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve used and then locate a source for the wine. No more, said Judy Basso, fundraising event co-ordinator for the Kamloops Art Gallery, which runs the annual event â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the change is a first for the province.

In partnership with Discover Wines, which has an outlet in Kamloops at 500 Notre Dame Dr al will ill include a Dr., the festi festival smartphone application that can be downloaded up to two days before the tasting on Saturday, April 18. The app will have every one of the more than 250 wines available for tasting and the option to place an order for any of them. David Franks, regional manager for the wine chain, said orders can be for a single bottle up to case lots. Payment isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t required until the customer picks up their purchase at the store. The festival kicks off on Thursday, April 9, with a couple of events: a tasting at Discover Wines and a special wine-paired

ADVICE & INFORMATION

Q: My mom is scheduled to have hip surgery and her Doctor has indicated she will be discharged after 4 or 5 days if all goes well. She is expecting that I will look after her at home but I have no experience with this sort of care. What can I do to get the best care for my mom? A: Looking after a parent or loved one after a surgery can be a daunting undertaking. Many retirement communities have respite care for just this situation. â&#x20AC;˘ The post-surgery care and rehabilitation would be coordinated by trained staff. â&#x20AC;˘ Staff will assist your Mom with daily activities such as bathroom routines, showering, escort to meals, recreation activities and prescribed exercises. â&#x20AC;˘ 24/7 personal assistance provides peace of mind for the recovering person and the family. â&#x20AC;˘ Costs generally include a furnished room, meals, staffing and all services (telephone, TV, utilities) except medication. â&#x20AC;˘ Social contact with other residents is therapeutic and goes a long way towards a speedy recovery. â&#x20AC;˘ It is recommended that you begin to research respite options well before a surgery date is set. â&#x20AC;˘ A minimum stay is required at some retirement communities.

ROLLING INTO GUATEMALA THREE AMIGOSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; JOURNEY CONTINUES, DESPITE MOTORCYCLE TROUBLE Kamloopsians Ernie Beadle, Barry Deacon and Bryan Daly are on their motorcycles, attempting to drive from the southernmost tip of South America to Kamloops. While the idea for the trip started as an adventure for the three men, more than 16 months of planning led to a charitable component. As they make their way from South America to Kamloops, Ernie, Barry and Bryan are soliciting donations for the Kamloops Hospice Association on their blog, motociclistasamigos.wordpress.com, before hosting a special presentation about their trip at the Kamloops Hospice Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dinner and dance on April 17 at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre. KTW will publish occasional updates from the Three Amigosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; journey, updates taken from their online blog, which is detailed and highly entertaining.

MARCH 13 Bavaria Motors, the BMW dealer in Guatemala City, have been phenomenal. The mechanics will work all weekend if we can get the needed part. Ernieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s engine has been completely ripped apart. It has suffered heat damage throughout, but is drivable, all except for one critical part that has failed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the guide rail for the cam chain. It is plastic and has disintegrated. With the new part, he will have to baby it

home a bit. Ernie has sourced the only one available in all of North and South America â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in Austin, Tex. Now he is figuring out how to get it here. We lost some valuable time when the distributor in Texas dropped the ball on sending the part. Al Rorison, (Barry and Bryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neighbour) stepped up to the plate with a contact in Austin. They are scheduled to be here Tuesday, so, if all goes well, we should be back on the road by Wednesday. In the meantime, we are hunkered down in Guatemala City and we may move back to Antigua to spend the few days required that we will need to sit out. Luckily, it has cooled and was 23 C today. The remainder of our trip will be accelerated to make it home on our target date of

Easter weekend. We will have 17 days to travel 7,000 kilometres, cross three borders and take a 17-hour ferry ride. Miles down here do not go like they do in Canada and the U.S. We may be busy boys! Stay tuned. MARCH 14 We have just received an email from the Kamloops Hospice Association, the organization we have been

working with to help raise funds. They just told us that someone we know watching our ride online was so inspired and impressed that they just donated $10,000 on behalf of our ride. When we asked who this person was, we were told they wanted to remain anonymous, so we cannot give them the appropriate thanks. We are hoping they see this and understand how blown away

we are and how much we appreciate their generosity. The Three Amigos are indeed humbled and in awe! So, to the donor, we cannot say thank you enough for your extremely kind and generous support to such a great organization. Thank you so much from all three of us. This is such a boost for our spirits to see such generous people do still exit out there.

he popular Ford Expedition gets a makeover this model year, bringing the 2015 version into a different class of elegance.

Looks:

A completely updated front end aligns itself with the Super-Duty and the new F150. I like the look of the grille, large and in charge. The featured projector style headlamps with LED fog lights made the front end of the Platinum Edition tester look like a piece of jewelry. A raised powerdome hood and nice body lines certainly give this Expedition some class. The power-retractable running boards are standard on this edition but I find they react too slowly for me when the door is opened. No doubt, for some,

drops at the touch of a button. The command centre controls everything from entertainment to climate. And, speaking of entertainment, the sound system is a Sony premium audio system that features 12 speakers and 390 watts of power.

Power:

This vehicle comes standard with a twin turbo 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine that puts out 365 horsepower and 420 lb ft of torque. The transmission is a six-speed select shift. 4.10 gear ratio. Towing is made easy by the transmission tow/haul mode, which helps keep you from gaining too much

speed when towing downhill. The engine maintains its power band while towing up a hill, keeping the speed and momentum constant.

Roadworthy:

The Expedition delivers on space, comfort and functionality while driving like a smaller SUV. Very little, if any, roll. Steering is magnificent and easy, while responsive to changing lanes and finding a tight parking space.

Verdict:

The upgrade this vehicle has received raises the quality, safety and comfort to a new level.
