‘HEART’ OF MCLURE TORCHED TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The McLure Restaurant, long a gathering place for the small community north of Kamloops, was destroyed by fire on the weekend, leaving residents without their only eatery. JESSICA REITER PHOTO

artin Jones awoke to sirens on Saturday night as firefighters rushed to the McLure Restaurant. When he spotted the flames at the diner two doors down from his house, he had one thought — not again. “It was just, ‘Get the hose out,’” he told KTW. “I was with the hose at the back of my property. I don’t want that to happen again.” Jones was referring to the McLure fire of 2003, one of the most damaging in B.C. history. It started on a slope 40 yards from his property, a couple of hundred feet from the restau-

rant that burned to the ground — along with an adjacent unoccupied house and a series of outbuildings — over the weekend. Noel Johnson, chief of the McLure Volunteer Fire Department, made sure he had manpower — backup firefighters sent from Barriere — behind the restaurant as the flames raged. “The 2003 fire started just up the hill from behind the cafe,” he said. “That’s why I had Barriere back there.”

DIFFICULT ATTACK

Johnson and his crew of volunteer firefighters arrived back at the hall at about 9:30 p.m. on Saturday when the alarm was sounded. “We just returned from a call to

a grassfire,” he said. “We got paged back out to the cafe on fire.” Johnson said his crews arrived at the restaurant just before 9:45 p.m. “Initially, there were flames coming from the right rear corner of the building — visible flame, lots of smoke,” he said. “Attack was difficult because of overhead power lines that were sparking and dropping.” A crew of firefighters headed to the back of the restaurant to protect a large white propane tank. “We called in Barriere for backup for a water tender and they sent that down and an attack crew,” Johnson said.

Air-qualitygets committe Air-quality committee nod ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

For the past two years, a group called Kamloops Moms for Clean Air has been meeting, with the goal of improving the city’s air quality. After a decision by Kamloops city council, the group will get some help broadening its scope. Group member Gina Morris was at council to ask the city to set up a committee on air quality, which could include both citizens and representatives from industries. She also wants to see the city commit to an anti-idling campaign the committee could help direct, noting the city could use GPS in vehicles to track idling and reduce emissions.

Truckers blasted for ‘disgusting’ practice ‘Piss jugs’ litter highway ditches

“This happens

all too often. It’s not uncommon. People are pretty disgusting.

MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

There was a winter’s worth of truckers’ urine scattered across a ditch just west of Kamloops when KTW reached the scene last week. Among the refuse disposed near the commercial vehicleinspection station just past the Copperhead Drive exit on Highway 1 were dozens of pee containers, including two-litre milk cartons and water bottles filled to the brim with differing hues of yellow liquid. “It’s disgusting,” said Glenn Taylor, manager of the Thompson-Nicola District Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement (CVSE) unit. “I don’t even know if they stop or if they just pull down the passenger window when they get full or half-full, fire it out the window and away they go,” Taylor said. “I don’t think it’s any more of a problem in that location than it is along all of our highways.” There are two options for truckers driving westbound who take the exit into the inspection station. Those wishing to rest can turn right prior to the weighing area, where there is ample space to park behind the station, a payphone and two large garbage bins. The others bypass the turnoff to the rest area, stop briefly at the scale and merge back onto the highway. Before they hit the road, many stop on the right side of the lengthy on-ramp, on the ledge of the hillside that leads into the ditch below. There are no trash or recycling bins there and that is where the garbage and urine is hurled down the hill. “Is every single one of them piss-jugs? Probably not,” said Myles Tuba, archery co-ordinator for the Kamloops Target Sports

”

— Harvey Nelson, area manager Argo Road Maintenance

DAVE EAGLES/KTW These “piss jugs” have been discarded by truckers near the CVSE inspection station west of Kamloops. Louise Yako, president of the B.C. Trucking Association, calls such sites “an embarrassing problem.”

Association (KTSA), which has an entrance on Hillside Drive, kitty corner from the litter and secretion. “There’s engine coolant and truck fluid. Whether it’s piss or not, there’s no disposal site. A bin would be great.” Louise Yako is president and CEO of the B.C. Trucking Association. “It’s an embarrassing problem and it’s not, unfortunately, limited to that ditch west of Kamloops,” Yako said. “Yes, companies will have policies, in terms of proper disposal, but I think what this speaks to is an overall problem related to the lack of rest-stop facilities and the belief on the part of some companies and some drivers that they either don’t have a safe

place to stop, in order for drivers to take restroom breaks, or they believe there is just not enough time for them to do that.” Bin or no bin, Yako agreed it is repugnant of truckers to toss trash and jugs of urine out of their rigs and into an area used by the KTSA and local joggers, one of whom complained to KTW about the problem. Taylor said drivers who pull into the parking lot behind the inspection station have every opportunity to properly dispose of their waste. “In between the scale and the shed, there are two steel, bearproof-style garbage cans, like the ones that are all along the Coquihalla,” Taylor said. “They just don’t care. They just throw them out the window. They

could put all the garbage cans in the world there. I’ve never seen one of them use it for that.” Snow hid the gruesome hillside and ditch area throughout the winter, but the spring thaw revealed the Trailer Park Boyslike scene — and a pungent aroma when the wind picks up. Tuba called the CVSE and notified them of the problem, which he wants to see remedied before the KTSA hosts its annual 3D archery shoot on April 18 and April 19. The CVSE immediately notified Argo Road Maintenance, which is responsible for collecting the rubbish and pee jugs, some of them filled with monthsold urine. “It’s not on anybody’s highlight reel to have to go and do that as a result of people being less than civil,” Argo’s Thompsonarea general manager Harvey Nelson said, noting the waste is collected and brought back to bins at company headquarters before it’s hauled away. “One of our guys is out there this afternoon [last Thursday] and it’s going to probably require a whole bunch more work tomorrow.” Prisoners at the Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre on Hillside Drive help with the cleanup. Nelson said urine and trash disposal is an ongoing dilemma with no foreseeable solution. “I’d like to say I could see the problem stopping, but I don’t,” Nelson said. “This happens all too often. It’s not uncommon. People are pretty disgusting.”

On paganism: ‘We’re everywhere’ IN THE WAKE OF THE DEATH OF HEATHER CARR DURING A PAGAN CEREMONY, A FRIEND TALKS TO KTW ABOUT THE RELIGION DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Like many people, Jane wears a necklace with a symbol of her religion — but she’s not comfortable putting her name to her faith because Jane believes in paganism. She’s not alone in that community. In fact, Jane (not her name) said Kamloopsians would be stunned if they knew who belongs to the pagan community. Jane’s not like her friend, Heather Carr, a woman who was not afraid to lend her name to a religion that is fraught with stereotypes. Part of the reason for that, Jane said, is because of the types of comments she’s heard about Carr since she died last week performing a pagan ritual in Riverside Park. Jane met Carr through the pagan community, and found her to be a strong woman. “She came across

as cold at first, but she wasn’t,” Jane said. “She was always there for me. She’d make the time for people.” They shared a fundamental belief — a reverence for the Earth, for nature, for what Jane called the moon goddess, but not for a single deity or demon. As she learned more about it, Jane said, she realized its basic tenets matched her own beliefs. She wasn’t raised in a family that required regular church attendance. Her parents were determined to let their children make their own decisions on faith. “It was putting a name to what I’d already known,” Jane said. Her family and some friends know about her religion and accept it, although her dad makes jokes about it sometimes, she said. Some people confuse pagans and Wiccans, Jane said, explaining it’s much like Baptists and Christianity — “all Wiccans are pagans,

but not all pagans are Wiccans.” Jane said she was unsure what ritual Carr was performing when she was burned in the early-morning hours of March 31, but wasn’t surprised at the location — a rock art sculpture in Riverside Park Carr often visited. It was the site of a handfasting last year, a pagan wedding ceremony over which Carr officiated. Jane expressed frustration that her friend has been described by some media as being weird or strange. She said it’s unfair to describe the circumstances of her death as bizarre. “It it had been a Catholic priest lighting candles and his robes caught on fire, people would just say what a horrible accident,” she said. Jane is not alone in her viewpoint. Diane Morrison, who writes a pagan blog under the name Sable Aradia, also knew Carr.

On her website, she wrote about her disgust at the “deliberately provocative language” some media used, as well as others who have posted comments on the death. “If it had been a youth pastor at a prayer meeting, the headline would read, ‘Horrible accident at prayer circle ends tragically.’ “But, because it was a shamanic witch who chose to pray alone in a publicly owned place rather than a church, it’s a big sensation and people feel they have a right to be rude,” Morrison wrote. Carr also had an online site, a Facebook page she called Being Pagan Out of the Broom Closet. Jane said she wasn’t surprised Carr was public about her beliefs because “she wasn’t the type to be afraid of anything. She was very strong, very confident. I learned a lot from Heather.” Morrison described Carr as a believer “in the spirit world . . .

“She worked constantly to empower others and she was also a teacher; she organized a multi-traditional teaching circle that focused on magick, spirit work and relationship to deity and the divine which welcomed a wide range of pagan paths.” Learning and sharing are also components of the pagan community in Kamloops. Jane said the circle to which she belongs meets weekly at a member’s house, where they talk about their beliefs and how they practise their religion. “We are all on different paths,” she said. “No pagan believes the same thing.” She’d love to see a Pagan Pride Day in Kamloops, but knows that’s unlikely. “There’s a small-town mentality here that we’re different from the norm,” she said. “A lot of professional people [in Kamloops] are pagan,” Jane said. “We’re everywhere.”

Proposed North Thompson mine must submit report CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A proposed North Thompson copper mine that includes a wet tailings facility to store acid-generating rock is among projects that must submit a report on alternatives. Yellowhead Mining Inc. has submitted its application to the harmonized federal-provincial comprehensive environmental assessment. A final public comment period closed last month. The project garnered almost no opposition. It is located in an alpine area about 10 kilometres southwest of Vavenby, which is about 150 kilometres northeast of Kamloops. Yellowhead Mining estimates mine life at 28 years for the openpit copper project. It expects to employ 450 workers. As part of its application, the company is required to outline scenarios for overtopping of the dam or its failure. The panel that studied the Mount Polley tailings dam breach pointed to Greens Creek, Alaska — which uses filtered, or dry-stack tailings — as best practice and the only way to eliminate risk of collapse. The Cariboo mine’s

TRU project Thompson Rivers University scientists will oversee a research project in the wake of the Mount Polley mine tailings-pond breach, looking at ways to remediate tailings potentially containing heavy metals and other substances. “We’re responding to the breach and have established monitoring stations at either end of the containment of the breach,” said Lauchlan Fraser, a professor and grasslands ecologist at TRU. Fraser will outline the project during an April 20 presentation at the university. The breach of the tailings dam at Mount Polley sent millions of litres of water and contaminated material into Hazeltine Cree and Polley and Quesnel lakes. The university’s expertise will be used on shoreline areas. University of Northern B.C. is focused on the aquatic environment. Fraser said traditional biogeochemical analysis will be done on plants that may be impacted by tailings. In addition, DNA material will be extracted to to determine function of microbes in soil and plants.

tailings dam collapsed in August of 2014, sending millions of gallons of contaminated water into Polley and Quesnel lakes. Yellowhead spokeswoman Charlene Higgins confirmed the mine must submit a report on its proposed wet tailings facility. “All the proposals, regardless of where they are in the review — it will take more time,” she said. KGHM Ajax in Kamloops is doing a study on using drystack tailings in its proposed mine plan in

wake of the panel recommendations. Its original plan for its proposed open-pit copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen included a dry stack, but it then changed to a wet tailings pond when moving the operation farther south. Harper Creek’s proposed wet tailings is located in the North Thompson watershed.

It drains into Harper Creek, Barriere River and, eventually, the North Thompson River. “The residual effects from both an overtopping of the tailingsmanagement facility and from a catastrophic tailings-management facility dam failure would likely be significant and many effects would endure far in the future,” states the application to the federal and provincial governments. The project risk class for the tailings dam is rated as very high, the fourth-highest of five levels. Downstream watercourses are rich in fish, including coho, sockeye and chinook salmon, rainbow trout, steelhead, burbot, dolly varden and whitefish. Unlike Ajax, Harper Creek’s tailings dam contains potentially acid-generating rock. Higgins declined to speak on pros and cons of tailings storage for Yellowhead’s proposed open-pit copper mine. But, last month, an Ontario expert on tailings storage told

City of Kamloops 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. Residents who wish to sweep the area in front of their property are advised to remove the pile of sand accumulated as these piles can damage a sweeper, and operators are instructed to swerve around such piles. Your co-operation is appreciated. Inquiries can be made by calling 250-828-3461.

a public forum organized by Kamloops Exploration Group that dry storage is expensive, not ideal in every case and, if mandatory, may tilt some projects into becoming uneconomic to undertake.

Engineer Eric Domingue also said dry stacking of tailings comprised of acid-generating rock may cause leaching and related environmental problems in wet climates. The provincial envi-

Surveying starts on bridge; expect delays today Traffic flaggers and workers will be on the Overlanders Bridge today, but the fullscale overhaul of the bridge and its connecting roads is still at least a week away. Still, the City of Kamloops is advising motorists there may be intermittent closures on the span until 4 p.m. today. Darren Crundwell, capital projects manager for the City of Kamloops, said workers on the bridge will be taking surveying shots. “It’s not construction,” he said. Full construction could begin on April 13 or April 20, but a final date will not be set until the city has met again with its contractor, Innovative Civil Constructors, and finalized its permits and plans, which will happen this week. Crundwell said the city’s contractor has proposed some changes to its

construction plan that may speed up the pace of the project, but it’s too soon to say whether they will be adopted and how many days they might shave off the estimated five month construction timeline. Public works director Jen Fretz said the city has to balance a possibility of faster construction time with “the greater community good.” “If they say we want to close down three lanes instead of two, that’s not going to fly,” she said. The city has previously stated it wants work on the ramps leading to the bridge and the overpass to Tranquille Road finished before deck repairs start. The bridge’s western sidewalk also needs repairs, to stop it from shedding concrete on traffic below.

Cause of fire still under investigation From A1

â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the back buildings hard to access, they caught on fire and, eventually, the house caught fire and we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fight that one, either. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Foremost in mind was trying to save the restaurant.â&#x20AC;? Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crew of 17 firefighters, including the Barriere backup, was on the scene until just after 2 p.m. on Sunday. They left the white propane tank in pristine condition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not even a blister on the paint,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That could have made it really bad.â&#x20AC;?

THANK YOU

The sign on the highway outside the McLure Fire Hall sports a simple message. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thanks for your support & to McLure Truck Stop Cafe,â&#x20AC;? it reads. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a reference to a fundraising dinner less than a month ago organized by the McLure Restaurant specifically to raise funds for the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volunteer fire department. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a by-donation spaghetti dinner, and that was the restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s idea,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They wanted to raise money for us.â&#x20AC;? Johnson said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not sure how much money the March 8 dinner brought in, but knows the donations will go toward equipment and training. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It went great,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The place was packed. It was wellreceived. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too bad we lost the place.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A REAL SHAMEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

We have a market that opens in the summer, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t offer that kind of thing.â&#x20AC;? Reiter said the restaurant had recently been under new management â&#x20AC;&#x201D; John Sutherland and Maryse Berube â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and was thriving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had just reopened it in the last year-and-a-half or so and it was really good,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were doing really well.â&#x20AC;? Johnson said he would often phone McLure Restaurant and place a lunch order for his firefighters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was swamped,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real shame that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost it, being the only real business in McLure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole community uses the restaurant.

A BRIDGE TOO FEW FOR CITY?

he City of Kamloops sent out a tweet on the weekend, warning drivers that they may run into brief delays crossing Overlanders Bridge today as pre-construction surveying work is done. If those short delays do occur, it will provide a sampler of much more to come when months-long work begins to resurface the city’s main span and to improve access roads leading to the structure. While the city has pledged to have work done around the clock and to always have at least one lane open in each direction, unforeseen circumstances are just that — unforeseen — and drivers could find themselves idling for long periods of time. Recall a few years ago when a truck smacked into the Tranquille Road overpass leading to the main shopping district. What was initially assumed to be a week-long repair job dragged into weeks, severely impacting businesses on the North Shore. The bridge work and the parallel widening of Columbia Street could seriously affect commuting times, likely making Highway 1 and Highway 5 that much busier as drivers seek to find ways to get across town without delay. It will be interesting to see what affect the projects have on commuting once soccer and baseball seasons are in full swing and parents rush from work to home to the North Shore in a frantic bid to arrive by opening kickoff or the first pitch. More interesting will be whether this major hurdle on Overlanders Bridge resurrects discussion of a second crossing between the North and South shores. The Singh Street bridge idea has been discussed, but perhaps this summer will bring to light the idea of some of the need for a bridge connecting the airport to the south shore, thereby diverting much truck traffic from the city centre and creating a quicker connection to the North Shore for residents in Aberdeen, Dufferin and Pineview Valley. Such a project would be decades in the future, if it ever became a reality, but debating its feasibility might be a fun exercise to engage in while stuck in traffic this spring and summer.

‘I caught one!’ ‘I caught one!’

here were children ages nine to 11 sprawled over the frozen surface of the lake, peering into dark holes drilled into the ice. They caught glimpses of silver fish gliding just under the ice as they tried to entice them onto hooks baited with corn and worms. Their concentration was absolute and determination fierce. “I caught one! I caught one!,” cried one enthusiastic student. It was his first fish. The Ministry of Environment biologist participating in the Kay Bingham elementary class trip to Edith Lake took a look at the small Brook Trout and ruled it was just big enough to keep. For the next few hours, the boy’s classmates continually visited his spot on the ice to glimpse his catch, hoping to get their own fish, too. Earlier in the day, these same students spilled out of their Grade 4/5 classroom in an eager wave and loaded into waiting parent vehicles for the drive to the lake. The day-long ice-fishing trip in January, organized as part of their science studies, was further enhanced with expertise from three BC Freshwater Fish Society biologists, along with the Ministry biologist. During the outing, students learned how to identify fish, what species were in the lake, why invasive species are harmful and about the ecology of the lake. The experts told them about the work done by fish hatcheries and how lakes are stocked. In return, they were peppered with questions from students. What happens if a lake is

SCHOOL BOARD invaded by an introduced species and how can it be fixed? Which fish are better to eat? What do fish eat? Do they sleep? Teacher Scott Johnson had spent the previous weeks teaching the class about fish biology and the ecology of rivers and lakes. Students had also spent a day earlier in the fall at the Big Little Science Centre, where they studied salmon, solved problems about water chemistry, created clay salmon and calculated the number of eggs a female would lay. A tank in their own classroom allowed the students to watch salmon eggs get fertilized and hatch. They had also been to the Adam’s River to watch the salmon struggle to return to their home waters, reproduce and die. Their learning has been happening inside and outside the classroom — from their teacher, community members, scientists, and artists. They’ve used smart boards to watch videos and look at diagrams; clay and paint to demonstrate different types and sexes of

salmon; and fishing rods, augers and bait to see fish up close. They’ve spent hours on a bus to watch fish spawn and hours on the frozen surface of a lake to watch fish nibble on bait. Through it all, they’ve gained applied knowledge in science, math, social studies and art. This spring, the class will release their salmon fry into a local stream. They will learn about the hazards fish face as they migrate out to sea. They will calculate the odds of one of their fish making the return trip. They’ll know why the vegetation on the stream bank is important, how chemicals dumped down sinks and drains affect the water and why conservation matters. They will study the importance of the salmon to First Nations and how salmon and other food sources determine the cycle of living. Students will end the year with a deep understanding of the ecology of fish and an appreciation of the importance of natural systems. Additionally, each child will have gained personal, hands-on experience that’s been explored and questioned. And, best of all, one of them caught their first fish.

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

STONE SHOULD BE CHAMPIONING TRANSIT Editor: So, the B.C. Liberal government is reneging on its promise of just one year ago to provide Kamloops with 6,000 hours of additional bus service and an extra 2,500 hours for HandyDART. Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone, ostensibly the minister in charge, was apparently taken by surprise by the announcement from his own senior staff. Maybe, coming a day before April Fool’s Day, he had to check its veracity. Just what is going on in the Ministry of Transportation these days? Who’s in charge? Who’s really making the decisions? Either communications are pretty terrible between Stone and his own senior bureaucrats or somebody else, further up in the cabinet food-chain, is calling the transportation shots in B.C.

Mind you, Stone seems to like cars well enough, doesn’t he? He can easily find $24 million so a few speed-limit signs can be changed electronically — obviously a higher priority Just what is than better bus sergoing on in vice to Thompson Rivers University, the Ministry of for example, or Transportation improvements to these days?. HandyDART. Stone does not seem to realize there are a lot of people who are unable to drive or who can’t afford a car. Perhaps he does not share the widely held opinion that society should be trying to reduce its reliance on the automobile and the air pollution it brings. Whatever his reasons, Stone’s lack of pro-

“

”

gressive leadership in public transit is disappointing. And, it’s not just bus service in Kamloops. The Ministry of Transportation gave up responsibility for the two biggest publictransit networks in B.C. years ago. If anyone really thinks the managements of TransLink in the Lower Mainland and BC Ferries on the Coast are doing a good job, they need a major reality check. The people of B.C. are losing out on what should be a core government commitment — high-quality public transportation services. Maybe it’s time for a minster of transportation who is prepared to be a champion for that commitment. Peter Northcott Kamloops

READERS WEIGH IN ON BASS’S BILL C-51 COLUMN Editor: Re: Dale Bass’s column of March 26 on the Conservatives’ Bill C-51 (‘Be afraid. Be very afraid’): I have to admit the column is informative and stirs up the requisite emotions. However, I am suspicious. The column expresses genuine concern, but is the column really just a journalistic assignment? By the time the election is upon us, will the writer exercise amnesia about the whole subject? It is too bad the principle of “report the news, not make

the news” seems to be a higher ethic than working to prevent our country from becoming a police state. What also causes concern is a prime minister who has the mindset to believe such control is necessary. This from a prime minister whose leadership has taken Canada from being held in high esteem internationally to being a pariah, unable to keep our international commitments and promises. The bill can be clarified, but will the Supreme Court of Canada have a mind of its own when it interprets Bill C-51?

Let us all remember these issues when we vote later this year. Our best defence against what is happening is a participatory democracy, with a voting system that accurately reflects the wishes of voters and that allows voters to hold elected politicians to account. Be courageous. Be very courageous. Ray Jones Kamloops Editor: I feel quite sure if ISIL or some other terrorist group went into a school in Canada

and butchered a bunch of kids — which is not beyond the realm of possibility — Bass might feel differently about Bill C-51. Canada is not the safe place it was years ago. We had all better remember that. The government has a lot more information than Bass has and comments like hers are uncalled for. Vic Anderson Kamloops

Roe no longer bound by parole condition TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops man who in 2006 stabbed to death a romantic rival in a jealous rage inside an Aberdeen convenience store is no longer bound by a parole condition requiring him to take psychological counselling.

Parole Board of Canada (PBC) documents state Steven Patrick Roe, 28, had the condition removed at a hearing last month. A jury convicted Roe of second-degree murder in 2007, but he successfully appealed and, in 2010, was found guilty of manslaughter following a second trial. On Feb. 21, 2006,

City of Kamloops

ously expressed concerns about Roe’s conduct while in custody, including two violent incidents. First, while on remand in a provincial jail, the PBC noted Roe was involved “with several other inmates in an assault against another offender.” Later, in federal custody, the PBC stated Roe took part in a “major incident” involving cells being set on fire. In 2011, investiga-

The 18-year-old died on the floor of the Esso convenience store. Following that conviction, Roe was handed a sentence of nine years in federal prison. With credit for time served, the sentence worked out to just shy of six years. Roe was first granted day parole in August 2012. He has been free on statutory release since November 2013. The PBC has previ-

Roe armed himself with an eight-inch hunting knife and set off for the Aberdeen Esso at Hillside Way and Rogers Way after coming across a series of flirtatious Internet messages between his girlfriend, Kyla Regnier, and David Holditch, who worked at the gas station. Roe attacked Holditch — Regnier’s ex-boyfriend — and stabbed him six times, including once in the heart.

Conditions of Roe’s release still in effect include orders he not leave the country, not possess any weapons and notify parole officers about any change in work, education or any relationships. The documents describe Roe, who is now married, as “doing well in the community,” but do not state where in B.C. he is living. Roe’s sentence is slated to expire on Oct. 13.

tors found a homemade computer in Roe’s cell. It was determined he had assembled the computer while on bail and had it shipped to the prison. Roe used it to access email and download pornography. That discovery resulted in Roe spending two months in segregation. A psychological assessment in 2013 pegged Roe as a “low to moderate” risk to reoffend.

Who was the man who died in Rose Hill in February?

It should be noted that the facial reconstruction was completed by a forensic artist and should not be considered an exact likeness.

Can you help solve a mystery? The BC Coroners Service and Kamloops RCMP are asking for assistance in identifying a man who was found dead in Kamloops on Feb. 21. The man was found by passersby in a wooded area off Rose Hill Road, an area known to be popular with hikers and dogwalkers. He is believed to have died within the previous 48 hours of being found and foul play has been ruled out in this death. The man was white and had blue eyes. He stood six feet tall and

weighed 195 pounds (89 kilograms). He was wearing a black Raising the Roof tuque, a grey and brown Navajo-style patterned Wind River jacket, a black sweatshirt with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Talisman Energyâ&#x20AC;? on the right sleeve, a blue dress shirt, Denver Hayes blue jeans, black rubber boots, a black leather belt and a silver Timex watch.

BMO files $2-million lawsuit CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A lawsuit by BMO against the estate of former M3 Steel owner Ben Mesluk and his wife, Jennifer, will go to a full trial after a B.C. Supreme Court justice declined to give a summary judgement. The Bank of Montreal is suing Jennifer Mesluk and the estate of her deceased husband for what it claims are $2 million in debts owing following the failure of M3 Steel (Kamloops) Ltd. Another firm, M3 Steel & Fabrication Ltd., operates

today in Kamloops. It succeeded the original company, which went into bankruptcy in 2011, and is not involved in the lawsuit. Jennifer Mesluk is arguing the BMO claims should be dismissed. At a court hearing in January, the two sides aired some of the facts when each made crossapplications for summary judgements. BMO sought a judgment for $2 million, while Mesluk asked the B.C. Supreme Court to dismiss claims based on agreements both she and her husband signed.

In her own case, Mesluk claims material facts were not disclosed to her before she signed documents with the bank. In the case of her deceased husband, Mesluk claims in legal arguments he was ill with cancer at the time of his signatures and was not legally capable of entering into a contract. Mesluk is also suing M3 Steel (Kamloops) Ltd. and several other companies related to more than $1 million in life insurance paid out after Ben Meslukâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death. A date for the full trial on BMOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawsuit has not been set.

Interior Traffic Services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This would include some work on the highways within this region; however, most of these violations were issued during projects done within city limits,â&#x20AC;? she said. Bush said an additional 41 drivers were ticketed in March for speeding in school zones in the city.

DONNA SPENCER

THE CANADIAN PRESS

ALMO, Sweden — The memory of Sochi fuelled the United States as they fought off Canada 7-5 to win the Women’s World Hockey Championship on Saturday. It will be the disappointment of Malmo that motivates the Canadians when the worlds come to Kamloops next April. Tournament MVP Hilary Knight was one of 13 players on the U.S. team who experienced heartbreak in last year’s Olympic final in Sochi, Russia. They led 2-0 with four minutes to go, but Canada tied the game and took the gold in overtime. So, when the Canadians came back from a three-goal deficit Saturday to tie the game 5-5 heading into the third, the U.S. did not let world-championship gold slip away. “Huge motivator,’’ Knight said. “We had the hump on our back, the monkey on our back from Sochi and that didn’t feel good. We came out with a win and it feels really good.’’ With the victory, the U.S. also avenged a heartbreaking 3-2 shootout loss to Canada in the 4 Nations Cup final in the Tournament Capital in November. In fact, that game marked the third-consecutive come-frombehind 3-2 triumph for Canada in tilts against its neighbour to the south. “Coach just said there’s no such thing as moral victories, but it’s a learning experience,” U.S. forward Alex Carpenter told KTW after the defeat at Interior Savings Centre on Nov. 8. “We have the world championship in April in Sweden. Hopefully,

we can get them back then.” The Americans did find retribution on the weekend — and the Stars and Stripes have been dominant at the worlds. Canada has won the last four Olympic gold medals, but the Americans have now taken five of the last six world championships. They defended the title they won in Ottawa in 2013. The U.S. and Canada have met in all 16 world finals, with this year’s the highest scoring. Canada won the first eight, but the U.S. has now taken six of the last eight. “We haven’t been as successful in the world championships,’’ Canadian head coach Dough Derraugh acknowledged. “It’s definitely something we’ll have to look at and plan better and figure out what is causing us to get

behind the U.S. in these events.’’ Brianna Decker scored the winner at 11:42 of the third period, with Kendall Coyne adding a power-play insurance marker at 13:18. The Americans, who went undefeated through the tournament, had contributions from seven different scorers in the final as Knight, Anne Pankowski, Megan Keller, Anne Schleper and Haley Skarupa also scored. Rebecca Johnston of Sudbury countered for Canada with a pair of goals. Montreal’s Ouellette, MariePhilip Poulin of Beauceville, Que., and Brigette Lacquette of Mallard, Man., also scored in front of an announced 1,533 at Malmo Isstadion. There were 5,816 fans in attendance at the 4 Nations Cup final in

Kamloops — a tournament record for the gold-medal game. Canadian starter Anne-Renee Desbiens of La Malbaie, Que., was replaced after one period on Saturday by Genevieve Lacasse after stopping 16 of 20. Lacasse, from Kingston, turned away 13 of 16. Jessie Vetter of the U.S. was pulled after Canada’s fourth goal at 11:41 of the second period, but earned the win as the U.S. led 5-4 when she was replaced. Reliever Alex Rigsby gave up one goal on 14 shots. Both countries came to Malmo with 10 players in their respective lineup who hadn’t played in a world championship before. Canada’s roster had 11 players who participated in the Olympic final, but this was the youngest Canadian team ever at a world

championship, with an average age of 23. It was another bucking-bronco of a women’s hockey final between the two countries, with both starting goalies pulled during the game and a major momentum swing during the first 40 minutes. But, Canada’s defence couldn’t handle the speed of Coyne, Knight and Decker, as the Americans’ top line scored the winner off the rush. Coyne was allowed to circle unchecked from behind the net to the high slot and score the insurance goal with a wrist shot. The U.S. scored two of three goals in the first 10 minutes on the power play. The Americans led 4-2 and outshot Canada 20-7 in the opening period. They added another goal early in the second before Canada roared back, with Lacquette, Johnston and Ouellette scoring in a span of two minutes six seconds starting at 10:03. “We had to start better today,’’ Ouellette said. “We never gave up. We fought until the end. For that, I’m so proud of my teammates, but it’s not enough to win.’’ Finland beat Russia 4-1 for the bronze medal. Canada opened the tournament with a 4-2 loss to the U.S. in their pool. Knight was named to the media all-star team, along with Decker and U.S. defenceman Monique Lamoureux. Canadian forward Natalie Spooner was chosen an all-star, as were Finland goaltender Meeri Raisanen and defender Jenni Hiirikoski. The International Ice Hockey Federation tournament selected Knight as the top forward, Hiirikoski as best defenceman and Nana Fujimoto of Japan top goaltender. Total attendance for the tournament was 15,532, an average of 739 per game.

WOLFPACK’S ANNUAL AWARDS HANDED OUT A baseball player whose astronomical stats set a number of club and league records and a volleyball player who spearheaded the program’s march up the Canada West standings have been recognized as the TRU WolfPack’s athletes of the year. Alex Reid of Kamloops, a fifthyear pitcher, and Iuliia Pakhomenko of Donetsk, Ukraine, a third-year outside hitter, earned the Sports Task Force Athletes of the Year awards at the April 2 athletic banquet inside the university’s Grand Hall. Reid was a leader in 12 Canadian Collegiate Baseball Conference (CCBC) statistical categories. He was named the CCBC’s top pitcher and a first-team all-star.

KTW FILE PHOTO

Iuliia Pakhomenko of the women’s volleyball team and Alex Reid of the baseball team are the TRU WolfPack’s athletes of the year.

He was 4-1 last spring, with five complete games, a 0.65 earnedrun average in 41.2 innings pitched and 29 strikeouts. “Alex has taken the leadership role of our team to a higher level,”

WolfPack baseball coach Ray Chadwick said. “His success on the field has made believers and listeners out of his teammates as well as other varsity athletes and peers.”

Pakhomenko came to TRU after attending NCAA Division II Northwood University in Michigan for two years. She was a Canadian Interuniversity Sport second-team All

Junior RiverDogs start season After a one-year hiatus, the Kamloops Minor Baseball Association is again fielding a team to compete with the best 15-and-under players in the province. The bantam AAA Kamloops Junior RiverDogs started their 2015 campaign with the Best of the West Big League Experience

Tournament on the weekend on McArthur Island. The team came up short against some tough AAA and prep teams in the

round-robin portion of the tournament. Kamloops lost to Okotoks, Abbotsford and White Rock and found itself playing Spruce Grove in a consolation game on Saturday afternoon. The RiverDogs earned an 8-3 victory over Spruce Grove. Throughout the tournament, pitching seemed to be the

strong suit for the RiverDogs, the staff giving up only three walks in four games. The junior Dogs start the regular season with games this Saturday in Vancouver. At the helm is coach Reine English, who will lead the 2015 squad with help from coaches Kyle Dhanani and Yoshi Nakamura.

Canadian — the first in WolfPack history. She missed the end of the first half and beginning of the second half of the season due to injury, but was still second in the CIS and Canada West in kills (405), kills per set (4.60), points (465), points per set (5.3), service aces (41) and service aces per set (0.47). “Iuliia meant a lot to the program this year in regards to helping bring back some legitimacy to the women’s volleyball program,” WolfPack women’s volleyball head coach Chad Grimm said. “After eight months

of training our group is no longer surprised at the things Iuliia is able to do and have gotten over the tendency to sometimes watch what she is doing instead of competing against her. “ The previously 0-44 WolfPack women’s volleyball program won 10 matches this season based largely on Pakhomenko’s individual performance, but also her leadership qualities.

Jays open with win HOWIE RUMBERG

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Edwin Encarnacion hit a tworun homer off Masahiro Tanaka and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the New York Yankees 6-1 yesterday in Alex Rodriguez’s return to the major leagues. Without retired Derek Jeter in the lineup, the opening-day crowd at Yankee Stadium reserved its biggest cheers for Rodriguez in his first game back from a year-long drug suspension. Batting seventh, his lowest spot in a regularseason game since 1996, A-Rod singled, walked and lined out. Drew Hutchison, at 24 the youngest opening day starter in Blue Jays’ history, held the Yankees hitless until Brian McCann laced a ball just inside the first base line for a single with two outs in the fourth. Hutchison (1-0) allowed three hits, including Brett Gardner’s homer in the sixth inning, to help Toronto improve

to 20-19 in openers, including 1-2 versus the Yankees. Last July, Hutchinson helped the Blue Jays snap another skid against New York: a 17-game losing streak in the Bronx. Ex-Yankee Russell Martin hit a two-run single in a five-run third inning against Tanaka (0-1). Devon Travis homered later in the game for his first career hit. Shortly before the Yankees ran onto the field for the first time without a member of the Core Four — Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte and Jorge Posada — on the roster since 1995, the AC/DC song with the lyric ‘Are you ready for the good times’ blared over the stadium speakers. Those good times didn’t last long for New York in its 113th opener. After Tanaka made Toronto look silly with

a heavy mix of sliders and splitter for the first two innings, striking out three, the Blue Jays solved him. Kevin Pillar led off the third with a single and the Japanese star, making his first opening day start for New York, struggled to get an out after that. Travis walked and Jose Reyes put down a bunt that third baseman Chase Headley threw away, allowing a run to score. After Reyes was checked by a trainer at second base, Martin, who signed an $82 million, five-year free-agent contract this winter, singled. An out later, Encarnacion connected for a 5-0 lead. The Yankees are counting on Tanaka to find the form that made him an All-Star in his rookie season last year before partially tearing a ligament in his right elbow and missing 2 1/2 months. He lasted only four innings yesterday, the shortest opening day start by a Yankees pitcher since Phil Niekro in 1985, when he went four innings against the Red Sox, according to STATS. After a day off, the Blue Jays will turn to knuckleballer R.A. Dickey, in the final year of a three-year contract with Toronto. The Yankees send to the mound Michael Pineda. That game gets underway tomorrow at 4:05 p.m. in New York.

Marathon bomber was ‘bloodthirsty’ DENISE LAVOIE

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON — As he planted a backpack containing a bomb just feet from a group of children, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev made a coldhearted decision aimed at spreading terror and punishing America for its wars in Muslim countries, a federal prosecutor told jurors yesterday during closing arguments at Tsarnaev’s death-penalty trial. “There was nothing about this day that was a twist of fate,’’ said Assistant U.S. Attorney Aloke Chakravarty. “This was a cold, calculated terrorist act. This was intentional. It was bloodthirsty. It was to make a point. It was to tell America that ‘We will not be terrorized by you anymore. We will terrorize you.’’’ Defence attorney Judy Clarke countered by arguing that Tsarnaev took part in the attack, but that he did so under the malevolent influence of his now-dead older brother, Tamerlan. Clarke repeatedly referred to Dzhokhar Tsarnaev as a “kid’’ and a “teenager.’’ “We don’t deny that Dzhokhar fully participated in the events but, if not for Tamerlan, it would not have happened,’’ Clarke said. The jury was expected to begin deliberating as early as yesterday afternoon in the case against Tsarnaev, 21,

almost two years after the twin bombings near the finish line of the Boston Marathon killed three people and wounded more than 260 in the nation’s deadliest terror attack since the Sept. 11, 2001. If Tsarnaev is convicted — and that was considered a near certainty, given his lawyer’s admission — the jury will begin hearing evidence on whether he should get life in prison or a death sentence. Prosecutors used their closing argument to remind the jury of the horror of that day, showing photographs and video of the carnage and chaos after the bombs exploded. In one video, jurors could hear the agonizing screams of Krystle Campbell, a 29-year-old restaurant manager who bled to death on the sidewalk. Taking aim at the argument that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was led astray by his older brother, Chakravarty repeatedly referred to the Tsarnaevs as “a team’’ and “partners’.’ “That day, they felt they were soldiers. They were the mujahedeen, and they were bringing their battle to Boston,’’ the prosecutor said. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, died four days after the bombings after he was shot by police and run over by Dzhokhar during a getaway attempt. Dzhokhar was captured hiding in a drydocked boat.

CASEY SAYS RAPTORS LEARNING LESSONS IN LATE-SEASON LOSSES LORI EWING

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — With five games to go in the Toronto Raptors’ regular season, opposing scouts have become regular fixtures. Personnel from every team Toronto might face in the postseason watch with a keen eye, scribbling notes. It’s a balancing act for coach Dwane Casey between writing up plays the Raptors will use in the post-season and trying not to show too much of his hand. “We’re working on some things offensively and defensively that we know we’re going to have to use in the playoffs, intermittently after a timeout, and those situations,’’ Casey said after yesterday’s practice at the Air Canada Centre. “It’s a two-edged sword. You don’t want to expose everything . . . we’ve got to make sure we don’t over-expose ourselves, but at the same time get some game situations.’’ The Raptors are fourth (45-32) in the Eastern Conference, one game behind the Chicago Bulls and one ahead of the Washington Wizards. If the playoffs started tomorrow, they’d open at home against Washington. Maintaining home-court advantage is key. They open a four-game road trip tomorrow at Charlotte (33-43) and will likely be without all-star Kyle Lowry (back) and Amir Johnson (ankle). Lowry participated in some of yesterday’s practice, while Johnson still can’t put much weight on his injured foot. The Raptors are coming off a pair of nailbiting losses: 114-109 to Brooklyn on Friday and 117-116 in overtime against the Boston Celtics the following night. “It’s good to have those kinds of games, because they’re like playoff games, close games, hard games, intense games, so it’s good preparation for the playoffs,’’ centre Jonas Valanciunas said. Casey blamed both losses on mental lapses on defence down the stretch, and agreed with Valanciunas — they provided lessons heading into the post-season. “Those game situations against Boston and also against Brooklyn were very valuable to us. We were simulating (those late-game situations) today,’’ Casey said. The Raptors wrap up the regular season with games at Orlando on Friday, Miami on Saturday, and Boston next Tuesday, before they head back home to host Charlotte on April 15.

Tiger a Masters mystery DOUG FERGUSON

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AUGUSTA, Ga. —_ Tiger Woods arrived later than usual yesterday for a Masters that is different from all the others he has played. No one is sure what to expect from him. With ear buds dangling around his neck, Woods walked onto the practice area at Augusta National. Most fittingly, he headed straight for the chipping area. He typically plays

at least nine holes by lunch on Monday. Then again, nothing is typical for Woods these days. He is No. 111 in the world. He hasn’t played since Feb. 5 and the limited golf he did play wasn’t pretty. That included an 82 in Phoenix and only 47 holes in two tournaments with some shocking chip shots. Rory McIlroy, going for the career Grand Slam, played 18 holes with British amateur Bradley Neil.

Also left with treasured memories are numerous uncles, aunts, cousins, friends and his faithful companion, his dog Charlie-Man. Josh was predeceased by his Grandmother Hazel Pollard in 2001 and his Uncle Rick Pollard 2005. Josh was born in Kamloops and attended school in Kamloops until 2001 when he moved with his family to Campbell River. In 2004, Josh and his family moved to Prince George where Josh graduated in 2005. He moved back to Campbell River in 2006. In early 2007 Josh moved back to Kamloops where he re-kindled his past friendships started developing new friendships and continued with his unique way of always helping others. It didn’t matter where Josh was he always developed lasting friendships, and we know he will be missed by many. Josh’s first job was working part time for Kal-Tire while in high school in Campbell River. He continued working at Kal-Tire after moving to Prince George and when he returned to Campbell River in 2006. When Josh returned to Kamloops in 2007 he tried a few different jobs, however it seemed his work passion was the tire business where he worked for Kal-Tire and Kamloops Tire Craft and in February 2012 he started his career at Fountain Tire in Fort McMurray. In January 2014 he accepted a position through Fountain Tire at the New Gold Mine in Kamloops where he was happily employed until his passing. Josh’s passions were his job, working on his numerous trucks, fishing, quading, camping and always helping others. For the past few years of his life, Josh was a great “wheeler dealer”, always bartering, swapping and trading items on and offline. Above all, Josh’s greatest joy was his family and friends and his faithful dog, Charlie. Josh always had a big heart and a unique special gift of helping others. There was never a time where Josh said no to anyone whether at work or outside of work. Josh always treated everyone as an equal and went out of his way for others at all times.

Her favourite place to spend time with her family, was at Shuswap Lake, at the family property. Mom would always have a fresh batch of homemade bread, cookies, and her wonderful apple pie, to offer family and guests. Mom passed peacefully on what would have been Dad’s 93rd birthday. A more giving and sensitive person would be hard to find. She is sadly missed and lovingly remembered.

Officer probing threat against premier shoots man dead THE CANADIAN PRESS

ST. JOHN’S — Newfoundland and Labrador’s premier says his staff told police about potentially threatening tweets Friday, two days before the man behind the account was shot dead by an officer on the premier’s security team. Paul Davis said yesterday he wasn’t aware of the online comments until he heard Don Dunphy, 59, was fatally shot Sunday by an officer with the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary. But, the premier’s staff knew and reported them to police, he said. “I was shocked, deeply saddened yesterday to learn of the events that had taken place,’’ Davis said.

“This is a terrible tragedy for so many reasons. My thoughts and prayers are with the Dunphy family, with the people of Mount Carmel in the area where this took place and with those that have been impacted by this very tragic event.’’ Davis, a former constable with the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary, said he briefly spoke with the officer late Sunday. “I called to offer my personal support to him. I’ve known him for some time.’’ Chief William Janes of the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary said the officer was a member of the protective services unit providing security, threat and risk assessments for the premier and

elected officials. Janes said the officer was working a regularly scheduled shift Sunday when he went to Dunphy’s home in Mitchells Brook, about 80 kilometres southwest of St. John’s, as part of an investigation. “At the time, the officer was confronted and shots were fired,’’ he told a news conference. Janes said he wasn’t aware of the officer having any partner or backup when he went inside the home at about 2:30 p.m. The officer was not injured in the shooting, he added. Janes declined to identify the officer. He said the RCMP are now investigating the shooting. Janes said he could not comment on whether more than one gun was fired as

such details could jeopardize the ongoing RCMP probe. “I think having the RCMP conduct the investigation provides the independence and the impartiality that we need and that the public expects.’’ Dunphy was a frequent Twitter user who described himself on his account as “a crucified injured worker from NL Canada where employers treat injured like criminals.’’ Davis yesterday specifically mentioned posts on Dunphy’s Twitter feed Friday to the premier’s official account and that of Sandy Collins, the provincial minister for child, youth and family services. Davis said his staff typically monitor his official account and that, from

time to time, perceived threats from there or other sources are handled by police. Dunphy’s Twitter feed Friday includes an exchange addressed to the premier and Collins. It refers to God getting politicians who ignore and laugh at the poor before they can enjoy pensions “they didn’t deserve.’’ It seems to culminate with the comment: “I won’t mention names this time, 2 prick dead MHAs might have good family members I may hurt.’’ RCMP Sgt. Greg Hicks said an autopsy was scheduled for today. The scene of the shooting is officially in RCMP jurisdiction and Hicks said Mounties were aware Sunday that the Royal Newfoundland

Constabulary officer was investigating there. A woman who said she was Dunphy’s sister-in-law said his wife was deceased and he had a grown daughter but lived alone. “We didn’t know if he had a gun and we don’t know what happened,’’ the woman, who lives in Mitchells Brook and did not wish to be publicly named, said in an interview. She said Dunphy was injured years ago while working for a contractor. A local volunteer firefighter who also asked that he not be publicly named said he and Dunphy were close growing up. “Apparently he was fuelling a truck or something and he got crushed between a front end loader and a truck,’’ he said.

Couple sues sperm bank over donor B.C. doctor slain in Bahamas was well respected, delivered many babies: Mayor

Angela Collins and Margaret Elizabeth Hanson thought they were opting for a highly educated man with an “impressive health history’’ when they selected a donor from a U.S.-based sperm bank to start their family. It was only years after the birth of their son the Port Hope, Ont., couple learned they hadn’t been told their donor was a schizophrenic college dropout with a criminal record, they allege in a lawsuit filed in a Georgia court last week. The couple is now seeking damages for pain, suffering and financial losses as it alleges Xytex Corp. engaged in fraud, misrepresentation, negligence and battery, among other claims. When reached for comment yesterday, Collins said she wasn’t ready to speak publicly on the suit, but her lawyer said the legal action was an important one. “The case is significant because I believe both fertility clinics and the sperm banks and everyone associated with the industry requires accountability and regulation,’’ San Francisco-based lawyer Nancy Hersh told The Canadian Press. “It would have been very easy for Xytex to have conducted an investigation in order to confirm the representations that they were making about this donor. It took our clients five to 10 minutes, once they were accidentally given his identity, to demonstrate to themselves that what Xytex has said about him was not true.’’ Collins and Hanson filed the suit to help provide accountability in the industry, prevent a sim-

ilar situation for others, and establish a “medical monitoring fund’’ for their child because he has an increased risk of developing schizophrenia, Hersh said. The Canadian couple isn’t the only one affected by the situation, Hersh added. The suit states the donor appears to have fathered 36 children and Hersh said she had at least 15 other clients who may be joining the lawsuit. Xytex said it “absolutely denies any assertion that it failed to comply with the highest standards for testing.’’ “Xytex is reviewing and investigating the allegations asserted,’’ it said in a statement. “Recipients are provided access to a comprehensive list of the genetic and infectious diseases for which donated specimens are tested.’’ None of the allegations contained in the statement of claim has been proven in court. Collins and Hanson decided to begin a family in 2006 and learned there were three sperm banks approved by Health Canada, the statement of claim said. After an extensive review of each company, the pair decided on Xytex, which claimed its process of qualifying a donor is “very intense and arduous, generating a lot of medical, psychological, genetic and social information,’’ the statement of claim noted. The couple chose their donor after being told, among other details, he was working on his PhD in neuroscience engineering, had a masters in artificial intelligence, was “mature beyond his years,’’ and was “among their best donors,’’ the lawsuit said.

CHETWYND — A B.C. doctor who was stabbed to death in the Bahamas is being remembered as a family patriarch and a man who made many medical contributions in the province. A relative says 88-year-old Geoffrey Harding was killed Thursday when he refused to give money to a handyman. The relative, who asked not to be identified, said island police have arrested a suspect and two of the man’s daughters and their husbands have flown south for his cremation

CUBAN PROPERTY NOT UP FOR GRABS THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Cuba’s ambassador to Canada says the warming of relations with the U.S. won’t open up his country to international real estate buyers. Cuban President

Raul Castro and U.S. Barack Obama surprised the world nearly four months ago with the historic news that their countries would try to normalize relations after 53 years. That sparked excitement that Cuba’s vast undeveloped Caribbean coast —

not to mention prime property in Havana — might be available to international buyers. But, Ambassador Julio Garmendia Pena says Cuba wants to keep its land for its people, even though it is open to other investment. Canada’s former

ambassador to Cuba, Mark Entwistle, agrees Cubans are wary of Americans gobbling up their property. And, despite decades of friendly relations, Entwistle says Canadians don’t have a competitive edge in the Cuban real estate market, either.

later this week. The relative last saw Harding surrounded by loved ones at a Christmas reunion and says he helped build the first medical clinic in Chetwynd, a small community in B.C.’s northeast. Chetwynd Mayor Merlin Nichols said Harding was well-respected and delivered many babies in the town before he left two decades ago to work in the Vancouver area. He says Harding spent much of his winters at a home in the Bahamas and returned to Chetwynd during the summer, where he was often seen relaxing by the lake.

RUBY’S VALLEY VOICE ON TOP OF THE WORLD A KAMLOOPS TEEN HAS SIGHTS ON A MUSICAL EDUCATION IN LOS ANGELES AND IS SEEKING ONLINE DONATIONS TO HELP GET THERE.

Ruby Bruce is hoping to raise money to take her young music career to its next step. DAVE EAGLES/KTW

OVER 150 DISPLAYS!

DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

uby Bruce acknowledges her nerves were a bit on edge as she waited to take the stage. After all, she’d already gone through a couple of rounds of auditions to make it to the finals — one of six who would take the stage at the Abbotsford Agrifair, hoping to win the Valley Voices Vocal Competition. Once she took the stage, however, the nerves were gone as she launched into covers of Piano by Ariana Grande and On Top of the World by Imagine Dragons. It was a big moment for the then-11-year-old and, even though she didn’t win, making it to the last stage was encouraging. Ruby now has her sights set on growing her talent in Los Angeles at VocalizeU Summer Artist Intensive, 10 days working with songwriters, performance experts, voice trainers and other professionals. She’s working to raise $4,220 — with $1,250 already donated at her crowd-sourcing online site at gofundme.com. Ruby’s already developed a following in the area, having won the 2013 Shuswap Idol competition — where she performed The Cave by Mumford and Sons, State of Grace by Taylor Swift and Turn Off the Lights by Nelly Furtado. She’s performed at the Celista Coffeehouse and at Friday Night Live at the Scotch Creek Centre — where she was the main performer and filled a 45-minute set. More recently, she did a gig at The Art We Are, but music wasn’t her first love. Ruby started dance lessons when she was about three and continues to study many genres, except tap, and she plays the trumpet in her school band. Sister Clarie plays piano. Ruby has always loved to sing, but, around the age of eight, that part of her artistic side started to become more dominant. Add in a guitar and shape it all through musical influences ranging from Swift to Florence and the Machine and you end up with a poised, polished young girl who is comfortable on stage and wants to add depth to her music, eventually moving into writing songs of her own. That’s why she’s so keen to attend the California program — with mom Nicole travelling with her — an educational opportunity designed for artists 13 and older, where the days are filled with sessions on the business of music, learning to write songs, auditioning for musical theatre and growing one’s voice, where mentors will provide feedback as well as instruction and where the days end with relaxation, collaboration and jamming. Anyone interested in helping Ruby can donate online at gofundme.com/pz36dg.

And, at the end of the course, they will be encouraged to include their works in an exhibition. The course includes five sessions for a maximum of 15 participants, ages 16 and older. Registration is $80 for gallery members at $120 for the public. That fee includes all sessions and materials. Those interested can call the gallery at 250-377-2400.

The Camaro’s greatest hits by Driveway Canada rod V-8s of all time.

ROB SASS

DRIVEWAY CANADA

s we await the arrival of the sixthgeneration Chevy Camaro, let us look back at some of the top Camaros from each generation.

FIRST GENERATION

• 1967 Yenko Camaro: Don Yenko essentially ran a kickass speed shop out of his family’s decadesold Cannonsburg, Pa., Chevrolet dealership. Yenko replaced the car’s factory 396 V-8 with a Corvette L-72 427 that put out well over 400 gross horsepower. They went on to become among the most feared and valuable muscle cars from the first golden age of automotive performance. • 1968 Camaro Z/28: If the big-block Yenko Camaro was a straight-line drag strip specialist, the Z/28 was the first-generation Camaro you wanted to take on a road course. Its small-block 302ci engine was essentially a 327 block with the crankshaft from the old 283 V-8. It made for one of the most entertaining and rev-happy push-

SECOND GENERATION

• 1970 Camaro Z/28: The second-generation Camaro bowed for the 1970 model year complete with a fastback design and some styling cues borrowed from one of the best — the Ferrari 250 ShortWheelbase Berlinetta of 1964 (Camaro would appropriate the name “Berlinetta” too, but we’re getting ahead of ourselves). The new car was an even better performer. • 1979 Camaro Z/28: The 1979 Z/28 looked fantastic with a new front spoiler and NACA duct hood. And, while 175 horsepower doesn’t sound like a lot, the early 1970s change from SAE gross to net horsepower made it look worse than it was. The 1979 Z/28 remained a sharp handling and by-no-means slow car. Values have roughly doubled in the last five years.

THIRD GENERATION

• 1982 Camaro Z/28 Indy Pace Car: The ’82 pace car wasn’t about performance as much as looks. Nice examples are rare but, when they do show up, they are bargains, trading for well

The 2015 Chevy Camaro is among many in the famed car lineup that has received praise since its first generation in the 1960s.

under $13,000. • 1990 Camaro IROC- Z convertible: One of the biggest things to happen was the introduction of the first convertible since 1969 (courtesy of American Sunroof Corporation) just in time for the Camaro’s 20th anniversary. Fantastic examples still trade for under $20,000.

FOURTH GENERATION

• 1997 Camaro SS

LT4 30th Anniversary SLP coupe: SLP Engineering (which stands for “Street Legal Performance”) followed the Yenko formula of 30 years earlier and grabbed one of the hottest Corvette engines (in this case the 1996 Grand Sport LT4). With wheel, tire and suspension upgrades to go with the balanced and blueprinted 330horsepower LT4, the car cost about $18,000 more than the next

hottest SS Camaro of the same model year. Buy one today for 50 grand. • 2002 Camaro SS 35th Anniversary convertible: The F-body went out of production in 2002 (by then it was being produced only in GM’s Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec, plant) but at least it went out with a bang — the 325horsepower SS went like stink.

FIFTH GENERATION

• 2010 Transformers

Look for Kamloops This Week’s 0 5 % " 0 3

Special Edition Camaro: Brilliantly announced at the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con, fewer than 2,000 were produced exclusively in Rally Yellow with black stripes and Autobot badges that were strategically placed. The Transformers edition is by far the best-recognized Camaro of all time and a sure-fire future collectible. • 2014 Camaro Z/28: Like the original Z/28

that cleaned up on road courses in the SCCA Trans Am series, the new Z/28 has track star written all over it. With extra-careful attention paid to light weight and aerodynamics, the car is able to put to good use on the track its huge Brembo brakes, Pirelli P Zero tires on 19-inch wheels and 500-horsepower, seven-litre V8(that’s 427 cubic inches to Chevy big block fans).
