Report gave councillor ‘sticker shock’ ANDREA KLASSEN

Thompson Rivers University senior lecturer Tony Bell has a knack for helping his students unravel the mystery of numbers — as is evidenced by third-year accounting students Sydney Heichert (left) and Faline Lidstone (right), who won the 2015 CPA Case Competition. The competition involved 17 teams from universities in Western Canada. The teams were given 24 hours to evaluate a business problem and to give a presentation analyzing the problem and making recommendations for improvements.
WRAPPED UP IN
THE NUMBERS
DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
After spending 24 hours straight working on it, all Sydney Heichert and Faline Lidstone could do was wait to present their work. And wait. And wait. As the seventh of eight teams taking part in the accounting competition, the Thompson Rivers University students said they were tired and worried. They found it stressful to be sitting in a room where competitor after competitor came in from their turn in the spotlight. “We were super-nervous,” Heichert said. “We were wondering ‘Is this the right thing to tell people? People’s lives depend on this.’” See UNDERDOGS, A13

The preliminary report on the business case for a proposed performing-arts centre won’t be unveiled until tonight — but the public can expect to see a 350stall parkade as part of the design for the new centre. Coun. Donovan Cavers confirmed that detail to media, saying the number of design features included in the building helped him deal with the initial “sticker shock” of the building’s estimated cost, reportedly at $100 million. “If it’s built, it’ll be a world-class facility,” he said. The public will learn the exact cost at a meeting tonight at 7 p.m. at Interior Savings Centre. Mayor Peter Milobar said the city will also announce which site it has picked as a preliminary location and a possible funding strategy. The city is keeping the details of a consul-

Copies of the report won’t even be handed out to attendees until after a presentation of the findings has been made, Milobar said. “It’s really meant to try to make sure that people get the full amount of information, get it all in context, hear the background of what went into it to collate the information, the groups that were consulted, the public that’s been consulted, explain where we’re at and then provide that full document,” he said.

$500,000 for Thompson Rivers University — if Trans Mountain pipeline approved DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Thompson Rivers University will receive $500,000 from Kinder Morgan, a donation that is set to begin next year — if the Trans Mountain pipeline is approved. In making the announcement on Tuesday, Greg Toth, the company’s senior director of the expansion project, said the money will come over a 20-year period and be used for a variety of awards and bursaries, including: • $200,000 ($10,000 per year) to the School of Trades and Technology, to be used for full-time students in foundation trades courses in instrumentation, electrical, heavy-duty mechanic, pipefitting and welding, based on financial need and gradepoint average and with a preference to students who come from commu-
nities along the pipeline; • $100,000 ($5,000 per year) to the faculty of science, with annual awards totalling $5,000 for graduate students in the faculty studying environmental-science and with a preference to students who come from communities along the pipeline; • $100,000 ($2,500 per year to each of two students) to the faculty of social work for students in human services, with preference give to a single-parent student or one from a rural community planning to return to work in a rural area after graduation; • $100,000 ($2,500 per year to each of two students) to the faculty of science for students studying math, computers, physical science or engineering, with preference given to students in applied mathematics who come from communities along the pipeline corridor.

Toth, a Kamloops native and graduate of Kam High and Cariboo College, said the memorandum of understanding is the first Kinder Morgan has signed with a post-secondary institution. The company has signed agreements in 12 communities along the pipeline through its communitybenefits program. Speaking to a crowd of students, faculty and others in one of the workshops in the trades building, Toth said he left the college to pursue his career but, had TRU existed then, he may never have left. Toth noted Kinder Morgan has been supporting the Kamloops educational institution for more than 20 years already. The company handed out sunglasses, recyclable pens and booklets on job opportunities to the students gathered for the announcement.
Kamloops Coun. Donovan Cavers is hoping he will be able to change the mind of Transportation Minister Todd Stone when the two sit down tomorrow to talk bus budget and the province’s threeyear funding freeze at BC Transit. In March, the Crown corporation told council a lack of new funding from the province means it can’t cover the costs of an expansion of the city’s bus service that TODD would STONE have included 6,000 hours of regular service and 2,500 hours of DONOVAN HandyCAVERS DART service. “I’m going to go in with open ears to hear what the justification and the thought process for them was around the freeze, but, obviously, at the same time I’m going to be hoping he reconsiders,” Cavers said. “I’ve got some studies and whatnot I’ve read about what transit investment means and how it can benefit the economy.” Cavers is asking his fellow councillors to back a resolution to the Union of B.C. Municipalities, urging the province to change its mind on transit funding. The motion is up for debate on April 14.

Houseboat witness says craft was lit before crash TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A houseboat and a speedboat, the latter allegedly operated by Leon Reinbrecht, were “on a collision course” before the crash that killed houseboat owner
Ken Brown, a judge has been told. Reinbrecht’s trial on one count each of criminal negligence causing bodily harm and criminal negligence causing death is ongoing in B.C. Supreme Court. He was charged after a crash on Shuswap

Lake on July 3, 2010, following a night-time fireworks display. To this point, the trial has heard conflicting evidence about whether the houseboat, piloted by Brown, was lit at the time of the collision. Testifying on Wednesday by video from San Diego, Darren Schneider, whose family has a cabin on Shuswap Lake, said both boats were lit up before they collided. Schneider said he had just returned to shore after taking in the fireworks on the
lake when a boat on the water caught his attention. “I heard the sound of an engine on a boat going fairly loud, so I turned to see what was going on,” he said. “It sounded like it was going a little fast for the conditions and that time of night. I see the speedboat travelling east to west and the houseboat travelling fairly slow headed east. As I watched, I said to myself, ‘I hope that speedboat is out further than I think.’ It looked like they were on a collision course.”
Schneider said about five seconds had passed between when he first looked at the speedboat and when the collision occurred. He said he ran back into the cabin and asked family members to call 911 before boarding a paddle boat to help those involved in the crash. “The people on the houseboat were calling for help,” Schneider said. “You could hear exactly what they were saying. They were yelling for someone to please come help them.”
The trial has previously heard from multiple witnesses who described seeing a speedboat driving erratically in the area prior to the crash. Last week, a woman who was aboard the speedboat testified Reinbrecht had been drinking and smoking marijuana before the collision took place. The Crown’s case is expected to wrap up on Monday. Defence plans to call two expert witnesses, but it’s not known if Reinbrecht will take the stand.

KGHM Ajax is among major donors to the B.C. Liberals in 2014, writing cheques to the governing party worth about $14,000. The party raked in $10.1 million in political contributions last year, more than half of it from corporations. A list released yesterday shows forest and mining companies, liquor retailers and professional associations as major donors. Corporate spokesman Yves Lacasse said the money provided by the mining company did not come by way of direct donation. Instead, it includes sponsorship of tables at a Liberal fundraisers, for example. “These tables cost a lot

of money,” Lacasse said. If the company buys an item at a party fundraiser, for example, that must also be accounted for. Lacasse said invitations looking for corporate support for events are common and the company attempts to contribute and participate. “If I get a call from the hospice house, its part of our partnerships. We’re a strong community supporter. Parties represent people in the community.” There is no record in 2014 of KGHM Ajax donations to the NDP. Lacasse said it did attend an NDP event several years ago. Lacasse estimated KGHM Ajax’s spending on sponsorships, donations and events last year in the range of $480,000. KGHM is not the biggest local political contributor, however.
Its money was dwarfed by a monster cheque from Teck Highland Valley Copper for $100,000 to the Liberals. B.C. NDP raised about $3.2 million comprised overwhelmingly of individual donations along with money from organized labour. In Kamloops-South Thompson, the party failed to file its paperwork and may face a small fine. Local president Peter Northcott said “there was a mix-up between the treasurer and Elections B.C.” The party has since late-filed the documents, he said. Information from Elections B.C. also includes individual donors. Those in 2014 also include MLAs Terry Lake ($200) and Todd Stone ($750).

Schneider said the houseboat was clearly lit. “There were lights on in the cabin — white lights lighting up the cabin,” he said. “I could see both boats did have lights on. I was concerned when I looked at it that they were on a collision course. They were on the same course. “That’s when you could see the lights come together and that’s when the collision happened and you could hear the thud as the two boats came together.”

Should fraudster be jailed? HE BILKED SENIOR OF $21,000 AND JUDGE WANTS LAWYERS TO EXPLAIN THEIR NONINCARCERATION LEGAL POSITIONS CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
A B.C. Supreme Court justice has asked Crown and defence lawyers to defend their positions that an admitted fraudster who bilked a Clinton senior out of more than $20,000 shouldn’t be sentenced to a federal prison term. Darren Sidwell, 44, has pleaded guilty to fraud. Crown prosecutor Sarah Firestone said the episode began in the fall of 2011, when the victim replied to an ad posted on a community billboard offering services for hire. Sidwell completed a small job by removing limbs from a tree, but he told the woman she had a drainage problem on her property. “It was entirely a fiction,” Firestone said in court on Tuesday. Sidwell then told the woman stories, including that he needed money to help a cousin whose vehicle had broken down, to pay arrears on an orthotic foot brace for one of his
children and to help his daughter, who he said was ill in B.C. Children’s Hospital, suffering a heart condition. “While she does have a heart condition, she’s never been hospitalized,” Firestone said. Two cheques were also made out to accomplices who were never arrested. The RCMP began investigating after a credit-union employee noticed the series of unusual withdrawals. Firestone argued for a 12-month conditional sentence consisting of house arrest and a restitution order that Sidwell repay the 76-year-old pensioner the $21,000 he defrauded her. Sidwell told a probation officer he is a “master manipulator.” He has no assets. Defence lawyer Chris Thompson argued for a six-month conditional sentence with a lighter curfew condition, arguing Sidwell is now rehabilitated. But, Justice Terrence Schultes told both lawyers he needs to be convinced Sidwell shouldn’t

serve a federal prison sentence of more than two years. Sidwell has convictions on his record for possession of stolen property and theft. “I need to start at step one and hear why this doesn’t call for incarceration,” Schultes said. Thompson said Sidwell underwent extensive rehabilitation and counselling at a Prince George facility for 17 months. He comes from an
Ashcroft farming background. Thompson said his client suffered drug addiction and was abandoned by his family. “His family has looked down on him as a lost cause,” Thompson said, adding, however, they now support him after his change. Near the end of the sentence hearing, a woman in the gallery who identified herself as Sidwell’s ex-wife blurted out that Sidwell is conning the legal system. “I’ve heard this story a hundred times,” she said. “He’s owed me money for a long time. “Where’s his family today that’s standing up for him?” Lawyers are scheduled to return to court tomorrow. Schultes has asked them to present stronger legal arguments why Sidwell does not deserve a jail term. No case law was cited by either side on Tuesday.

Golf-course bandits drive away with a bit of loot Kamloops Mounties are looking for a group of sub-par crooks who shanked an attempt to steal golf clubs and cash after cutting a hole in the wall of a Kamloops golf course pro shop. RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said Mounties were called to the Rivershore Golf Links pro shop at about 2 a.m. on Tuesday. Bush said the would-be thieves cut a hole in the wall of the building to gain entry before covering the motion detectors inside. Despite their efforts, the alarm was tripped and police were dispatched. Inside the pro shop, Mounties found golf clubs bundled together and noticed attempts had been made to get into Rivershore’s safe. Bush said the burglars left emptyhanded, but Rivershore pro-shop manager Chris Power said that’s not true. “They got some clubs and a little bit of cash,” he told KTW. “So, they did get some stuff, but it was very little.” Power said the hole the thieves cut in the wall has already been fixed.
Thieves broke into the pro shop at Rivershore by cutting a hole in the wall.
“Fortunately, we have some members who know how to do that kind of stuff,” he said. Investigators believe the suspects had a lookout — possibly on Lafarge Bridge — to tip them off about police arrival. “They had obviously made some efforts to leave with a bunch of golf clubs,” Bush said. “Something definitely scared them off because they didn’t finish their job.” Bush said investigators want to speak to anyone who saw anything suspicious near Rivershore or Lafarge Bridge early Tuesday morning.

Science fair sets up in TRU gym DALE BASS
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Maybe it was the time mom, a chemistry teacher, brought home dry ice and proceeded to show Kieren O’Neil all the cool things that could be done with it. Maybe the dry ice was preferable to focusing on French, a subject Kieren doesn’t plan to continue studying now that he’s at Sa-Hali secondary. Or, it could simply be the joy of discovering by doing, he said. Whatever the reason, Kieren — and plenty more like him — have gathered at Thompson Rivers University’s gymnasium for the annual Cariboo Mainline Regional Science Fair. It runs today and tomorrow. This year, 165 students from
grades 4 through 12 will have 130 projects on display, ready to be judged and with the hope of winning one of the awards — maybe even one that will see them move on to the national level. Kieren’s been to that stage, finishing first in his category last year at the Canadian championship, held in Windsor. This year, it will be in Fredericton. Kieren, then a Grade 7 student at McGowan Park elementary, won for the application he invented. Deciphering Recycling was created to provide facts and basics on recycling, what the codes on plastic items mean and whether they can be recycled. Winning meant receiving a cash prize, a mentorship with BlackBerry development experts
— the company sponsored the award — and receiving a BlackBerry smartphone. For this year’s fair, he’s working to improve the application, inspired by a desire to “be able to get my app on my phone.” It’s now available for Android smartphones. Kieren used some online sites to create his application, taking his own photos to enhance the learning process. His sister will also be at the fair with her own project on the value of various sun-screen sunprotection factors. A variety of awards will be presented at the regional level, including one for students in grades 11 or 12, who will receive a tuition-free semester at TRU.

The city will take feedback on the report at a second meeting on Saturday, April 18, also at ISC, from 10 a.m. to noon. Milobar said the gap will give the public time to fully digest the city’s proposal and formulate questions. “From there, we’ll take that feedback and see if we are on the right track, what needs to be tweaked and go from there,” Milobar said, adding the concept is not finalized at this stage and could change before going to referendum. The city still hopes to ask voters in November whether to move ahead with the project, which would require it to begin work soon on a referendum question. That could change, however, if the public is not happy with the plan as it stands. “We think we’re on a pretty right track based on public feedback and stakeholder feedback,” Milobar said. If that’s the case, consultants will begin firming up numbers for the centre and look at its potential impact on the city’s economy to help make a case to voters. Two locations have emerged as potential homes to a centre, the frontrunner being the former Kamloops Daily News property at Seymour Street and Fourth Avenue, which the city purchased in March 2014 for $4.8 million after the newspaper folded. The property includes the newspaper building, now empty, and a parking lot on the south side, facing St. Paul Street. The owner of Hotel 540, which sits on Victoria Street between Fifth and Sixth avenues, has also expressed interest in having a performing-arts centre fill the space soon to be vacated by Lake City Casino, which will open this summer as Cascades Casino in the former Rona building in Versatile.
The robber had a tool and he used it to pry some money from a liquor-store clerk in Westsyde. Kamloops are searching for a bandit after the Wednesday night robbery of Starters Liquor Store at 3020 Westsyde Rd. Sgt. Karen Delorey said a man walked into the store, waved a pointed tool at the clerk and demanded money. He left with what police said was a small amount of cash and the clerk was unharmed. Mounties responded with a tracking dog, but the suspect got away. He was wearing a black mask when robbing the store and stood about 5-foot-4, with a stocky build.

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK is a politically independent newspaper, published Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 1365B Dalhousie Dr. in Kamloops, B.C. V2C 5P6 Ph: 250-374-7467 | Fax: 250-374-1033 e-mail: editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

AWAITING ARTS CENTRE REPORT
T
he public will get its first look tonight at the preliminary report into the proposed performing-arts centre. When the report is unveiled at Interior Savings Centre at 7 p.m., details of the initial study will be known and, if reports of a $100-million, 1,200-seat facility on the former Kamloops Daily News property are correct, the November referendum will almost certainly fail. When $100 million can get you an expansion Major League Soccer franchise, one wonders what, other than a 350-stall parkade, is part of the proposal. Of course, much can change between now and whenever a performing-arts centre eventually rises somewhere in Kamloops. Speaking of which, if the former Daily News site at Seymour Street and Fourth Avenue is indeed the preferred location, let’s not forget to tack on another $4.8 million to the overall capital bill as that is what the city paid a year ago when it bought the title. If the Hotel 540’s offer of entering into a public-private partnership in being home to an arts centre has been dismissed, it will be interesting to learn why — though it may be tied to any funding sources from the provincial and federal government levels. Hotel 540 ownership announced its desire last year after Gateway Casinos made it clear it was moving its Lake City Casino out of the hotel and up the hill. The Hotel 540 option delivers a superior location and would, presumably, involve an arrangement in which taxpayers would bear less of the weight of the costs. The question — Does Kamloops need a performing-arts centre? — will as of tonight become Do Kamloops residents wish to spend (insert dollar figure here) on a performing-arts centre?

City transit needs to evolve
L
et’s all hope Kamloops Coun. Donovan Cavers is successful tomorrow when he meets with fellow Kamloopsian Todd Stone, the province’s transportation minister who ostensibly controls the bus service in the city. And, let’s also hope that if the minister of transportation shuts down Cavers’ entreaty to do something with what is, at best, deplorable service, the two of them work to find a way to do better with what we have. Despite what some claim, people really do use the city’s transit service — people who have to go to work, even on Sundays, and at hours that don’t fit into the current schedule. Take Good Friday, for example. Anyone who had to work that day and didn’t have their own transportation was pretty much hooped — those who do the scheduling had the statutory holiday off, so everyone else must have, too. There are plenty of young people in our community whose job opportunities are limited because they’re working in the service industry, where the pay is too low to afford a car for many of them, and the hours start earlier than the first bus or go later than the last one. So, when a BC Transit employee walks into a city council meeting, as happened late last month, and tells
DALE BASS
Street
LEVEL Cavers and his colleagues the city isn’t getting a promised expansion of services this year, next year or the year after, well, let’s just tuck that away to ask Stone, his cabinet colleague Terry Lake and anyone else who steps up to run in the 2017 provincial election. To hear Stone assert B.C. is No. 1 in supplying transit in the country — on a per capita basis — is misleading because the bulk of that per capita isn’t up here in the Interior or in the northern stretches of the province, but in the Lower Mainland. But, wait, maybe it’s not reneging on a promise, Stone told KTW after the BC Transit visit to council. Maybe it just won’t be the extra 8,500 hours the city was expecting — 6,000 to regular service and 2,500 to HandyDart. It’s mind-boggling to think a cabinet minister would undercut one of his portfolios in public, but equally confusing that the transit people would
say something the minister didn’t vet and give his stamp of approval. But, it’s also an opening Cavers can perhaps work with when he talks with Stone. Here are some suggestions: • Quit catering to Thompson Rivers University. Try remembering there are taxpayers who live out in Rayleigh and in the Versatile area and in Dallas, among others, who might like to see a bus more than every hour or more — as in the case of the No. 13 up the Yellowhead. • Consider shorter repeater routes. Why have the Dallas bus, for example, go all the way down to the Lansdowne stop? Why not build a system of overlapping loops — a network, for lack of a better description — that can be used to move people faster? • How about some parkand-ride stops? Those are just some ideas and it’s likely Cavers — long a proponent for more efficient ways to travel — has many of his own. Let’s just hope he and Stone have the kind of discussion the minister obviously didn’t have with his own transit staff.

TRANSIT BUDGET FREEZE ‘SHAMEFUL’ OR WELCOME Editor: Re: (‘Bus Stop: Promised 8,500 extra transit hours cancelled,’ April 2): As a Lower Mainland resident visiting Kamloops, I was incensed to read 8,500 hours of promised transit service was being withdrawn. As your readers may be aware, Vancouver and the metro area are voting on whether to add a half per cent to the PST to bolster transit in the province’s most populated region. I believe a PST hike must apply across the whole province, or not at all, and benefit citizens’ mobility wherever they may live, be it Vancouver, Kamloops or Prince George.
Transportation Minister Todd Stone and his shameful government need to take leadership on transit, make it a priority instead of an obligation and stop playing political football with this crucial element of infrastructure. Stefan Forrestal Vancouver Editor: Good for the provincial government. It’s long past time for politicians to say no. Our city politicians should be paying attention. Why does the city have to borrow money for Overlanders Bridge and Columbia
Street improvements? Oh, yes, it’s because council has spent lavishly on a very expensive bike path in Valleyview, expensive and inconvenient parking meters, very expensive airportcorridor beautification, a roundabout for the convenience of bikes at 10th and Nicola and $500,000-plus for a study for an unnecessary arts centre. That names only a few, but the list goes on and on. Councillors, just say no, like the big girls and boys in Victoria had the guts to do. Arlene Pippollo Kamloops

Sale of Cariboo Manor sad news to board members efforts to honour its agreement to keep the Manor open if financially possible. “Nobody wanted to live there,” CMHA board president Christine Adam said. “From what I understand, we couldn’t get residents in there.” The Cariboo Home Society had operated the building since the 1960s, running it as a home for unwed mothers until changing attitudes made such a centre largely unnecessary. Members opted to turn their attention to senior citizens. But, an aging board and difficulties attracting new members caught up with the society in 2012, society business manager Janet Schneider told KTW, and the group began looking to wind down its operations. As word the Manor might close spread in the community, both CMHA and the operators of the Riverbend seniors’ facility approached the society. “Both of them gave our board a written proposal of what they saw and what they intended to do, what they saw the future of the home as being and why they wanted to take it
ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
April Sesson has one word for the way she felt when she learned a former seniors’ home in Westsyde would be sold off: betrayed. It’s a feeling shared by many former board members of the Cariboo Home Society, which operated Cariboo Manor on Serle Road for eight years before handing control of the residence to the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) in 2012, with the belief the building would stay open for at least five more years. In the end, it lasted less than two. Residents were moved out of the home in the summer of 2014 and the sale of the property to Trophy Developments, which plans to convert the lot to a 12-unit townhome complex, went through on March 25. “We were definitely misled,” Sesson said. “We felt very betrayed by it.” The CMHA tells a different story — one of an outdated operation that couldn’t be saved despite its best

Cariboo Manor isn’t the only CMHA property that has changed hands recently. The association also sold off the former Kamloops Christian Hostel building at 207 Victoria St. W. to MC Squared Developments. CMHA had originally hoped to turn the building, formerly used as a shelter, over to other community groups in the city to be used as a shared programming and meeting space, but an inspection of the property revealed it would take more than $700,000 to in upgrades to bring the century-old building up to code, derailing plans. Natrisha Sagris of MC Squared said the company is not disclosing its plans for the site at this time. A land title search for the property shows it’s declared value is just $85,000 — well below its 2014 assessment of $135,000.

for seniors’ care. “Older adults are looking for an opportunity to live in a context where they can be more independent rather than living communally,” she said. “The Cariboo Manor is a former group home and it was really set up for communal living.” Rather than an investment opportunity, Adam said the building became a financial drain. Residents living at the Manor at the time of the transfer were moved to other facilities that offered more independent living, Mullaly said, and the association decided to sell the property. Earlier this year, Kamloops council agreed to lift a covenant on the property, which required it be used for seniors’ housing, paving the way for the site’s sale. Mulally said the money will likely be used to fund other CMHA projects. While the Manor is shuttered for good, board members said they mostly want members of the public to know the final decision to do so wasn’t theirs.
over,” Schneider said. The CMHA won out, a decision the former board now regrets. “It sounded so rosy, like you can’t believe,” recalled board member Phil Churchill. “They were going to continue on, they had all sorts of resources to fall back on to continue what we were doing and making it even better for the residents and for the staff.” Board members said the CMHA’s proposal included an expanded facility on Serle Road as the association would be able to use its contacts in the community to fill beds at the 12-person home, which had been operating with nine residents at the time of the transfer. Neither Adam nor CMHA executive director Christa Mullaly were with the association at the time of the deal, but both say getting people into the home turned out to be an impossible task, despite help from Royal Inland Hospital. Mullaly said the Manor’s housing style, with private bedrooms and some private baths and communal living space, is considered “outdated”

TRU’s Bell channelling followers far and wide Thompson Rivers University senior lecturer Tony Bell has a YouTube channel with his videos on accounting. He has amassed more than one-million views, which is just one sign of his popularity. His students, including Faline Lidstone (left) and Sydney Heichert, give Bell an A-plus grade on an online rating site.

O
ne might wonder how Thompson Rivers University senior lecturer Tony Bell can have more than one-million views on his YouTube channel — all for videos about accounting. But, as of last month, 108,522 people had viewed a video on how to do double-entry accounting. Another 143,332 had watched a video on how to do a balance sheet and 152,623 learned how to do general journal entries from Bell’s instruction. Check out the website Rate My Professors and you’ll learn students have given him an A-plus grade, with comments ranging from “the best” to “amazing” to “simply a rock star.” TRU has also recognized Bell’s skills, award-
DAVE EAGLES/KTW
ing him an Excellence in Teaching Award in 2013. Ask Bell to explain it and he says simply: “I love accounting.” Prompted for more than three words, he expands, noting he had an early love of numbers and money and, at the age of four, decided accounting would put the two of them together quite nicely. Bell’s mother used
to make little books for him and would often ask, while creating them, what he wanted to be when he grew up. The answer never changed — an accountant. “I love it and I’m lucky I can share it,” he said. “It’s interesting to me and I try to convey that to my students and not fake it.” Student Sydney
Heichert agrees, saying Bell has teaching qualities she finds unique, an innate skill that sees him passing on not only his passion for the subject, but his understanding of it. Bell teaches more than numbers, Heichert says. He teaches how to manage people and solve problems, how to see the bigger picture and how to learn a
concept and apply it to real-world, practical situations. She’s not alone in her estimation of him. From 2007 through to the winter semester of 2014, the lowest studentevaluation score Bell received for advanced managerial accounting was 4.5 out of a possible maximum score of five. The highest was 4.9 out of five for introduc-
tion to advanced managerial accounting. Bell said having engaged students makes classes easier to teach because often, so much mental energy is put into struggling students. It’s why he makes the videos, he says, so students have that extra resource to help them understand concepts. The Youtube project is relatively new. Bell started it in 2012, inspired by Salman Khan, an American teacher and businessman who has created more than 4,800 video
lessons on a variety of academic subjects, most of them in mathematics and sciences. Bell’s videos have drawn a worldwide audience, with more than two-thirds of those viewing them from outside of Canada. One of his recent proud moments came when a two-student team took the top prize in an accounting competition, a rigorous 24-hour ordeal to come up with a solution to a business situation. Bell and other accounting mentors worked with the students — Heichert and Faline Lidstone — and were impressed with how much they learned about applying the theory of accounting to the practicalities of the business world. “He’s a fantastic teacher,” Heichert said. “He gives you great feedback that is a balance between critical and praise.”

MORTGAGE MATTERS
LOCAL NEWS
UNIQUE MORTGAGE PRODUCTS THAT FIT YOU AND YOUR LIFESTYLE
There are more people skills “than people think are needed in accounting.”
In today’s competitive lending environment, banks are fighting for your business. The result? Many lending institutions are lowering interest rates like never before and are creating specialized niche products. Here are a few examples: 10 year mortgages – Looking for payment security over the long term? The 10 year mortgage is for people who find comfort in stable financial payments and want to limit their risk to potential high interest rates over the next decade.
— Tony Bell
Flex down payment mortgages – Having trouble raising enough money for a down payment? The flex down mortgage offers buyers the chance to use borrowed money to buy a home. The bank expects the borrower to have good credit and good employment to qualify. This type of product may allow you to buy now and stop paying high rents.
The underdogs triumph in 2015 From A1
The first 30 seconds of their presentation didn’t go well, instructor Tony Bell said. “But, then they just got right into it,” he said, referring to a presentation on a potential expansion of a ski resort that led to victory as the students won the 2015 CPA Case Competition — an annual event for accounting students at the post-secondary level. This year’s instalment was held in Winnipeg. This isn’t your stereotypical accounting project. It’s more than red and black ink, numbers on excel forms. As Bell said: “There are more people skills than people think are needed in accounting.” Lidstone said if an accountant doesn’t understand what the client wants and what the goals are, it makes the work more challenging.
And, they will often find themselves wading through a lot of information to identify the proper strategy to apply. In short, it’s more than balancing the books. The wrong suggestion on an organization’s issue could impact the bottom line — and that has its own ripple effects through a company. To prepare for the competition, the students started working through case studies last fall, coached by Bell and TRU accounting alumni Robbie Tallon (BDO), Tasha Baziuk (Tenisci Piva), Jeff Kent, Katelin McNichol and Jeromy Spence (all with KPMG). Bell said community support is something he’s never had a challenge obtaining, with the city’s accounting community supportive of the program — and proud of the victory. It’s the fourth year the university has taken part.

One team made it to the finals, but Heichert and Lidstone are the first from TRU to win. “It’s always a who’s who attendance at it and we’re the underdogs,” Bell said of the competition. He was confident Heichert, who graduates this year, and Lidstone, who has another year of schooling, would be in the top tier and would represent TRU well. They received $500 each and their names will be engraved on a trophy that will call TRU home until next year’s competition. For the pair, each of whom decided on accounting as a career while in high school, the best reward will be something that fills a line on a piece of paper. “This will be great on the resume,” Heichert said. “It gives us instant recognition.”
Equity Mortgages – Has the bank said “no” because of your income, but you have strong equity in your home? There are lenders who will take into account the equity you have built up in your home and lend on that instead of income. 50% (50% ownership) and 65% (35% ownership) loan to value percentages are often acceptable to lenders. The lender will always ask for an appraisal and will expect the borrower to have excellent credit. Whether you are a first-time homebuyer, up for renewal or refinancing, there are many unique and competitive products available on the market today.

Whistler Cup champ MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Keep an eye out for Liam Applegath. The Kamloops product, a member of the Sun Peaks Racers, was named the top Canadian in the under14 male division on the weekend at the Whistler Cup, widely regarded the most prestigious competition on the planet for 12- to 15-year-old skiers in the slalom and giantslalom disciplines. “It’s a pretty big deal to come first,” Racers’ head coach Montana Molyneux said. “He’s a promising athlete and he’s definitely on the right path to progressing to the higher levels of ski racing.” What might be most impressive about the South Kamloops secondary student’s performance is the manner in which he won. His combined tworun time of 1:16.68 — 37.39 seconds in Run 1 and 39.29 seconds in Run 2, good enough for gold in both races — was more than two seconds faster than the second-place finisher, Nathan Romanin of Whistler, who posted a time of 1:18.97. Considering ski races are often decided by milliseconds, two seconds is a lifetime. “The first run was good and I was pretty nervous going into the second one,” said Liam, who also placed 12th in the giant-slalom event. “There was a lot of terrain and changes to

the course, so it’s easy to slip up, but it went well again.” Applegath is a multi-sport athlete, playing basketball at South Kam and baseball with the bantam AAA Kamloops RiverDogs, but skiing is his favourite sport — and that love might come from his father, Daimion. Liam’s dad, a former Canadian downhill skiing champion, had a chance to travel with the national team and compete at the World Cup level. “I hope he gets the same opportunity to see Europe and South America and anywhere that he wants to go,” Daimion said. “The Whistler Cup is the top international race for athletes that age. To come through
with a performance like that, we’re happy parents, both Nikki and I.” There are still plenty of gates for Liam to ski through before a spot on the national team becomes an option. He will jump into the under-16 ranks next winter and compete on the B.C. Alpine Teck Open Series with the Sun Peaks club. Liam placed first overall in the male division at the Teck U14 provincial championships, held from Feb. 26 to March 1 at Silver Star Mountain near Vernon. If he continues to dominate provincially, there might be a spot for him on Team B.C., which races at national and international events. The next step would be the national development team, the final
hurdle before cracking the Alpine Canada team and gunning for the Olympics. Skiing at the highest level is a long way off for any of the Racers so, rather than eyeing the finish line, Molyneux has her charges focused instead on the next turn — and Liam is not the only Racer on the cutting edge. “Almost our whole team was at the Whistler Cup,” Molyneux said. “We had nine athletes there, including a U16 racer. “They really showed a lot of promise.” Liam’s love of skiing is still intact, unspoiled by the rigours of competition, and that is most important at this stage, said Daimion, who praised Molyneux, Sun Peaks Resort and
A15
its facilities, including the Nancy Greene International Race Centre. “Being on the ski hill is pretty comfortable for me,” said Daimion, whose daughter, Brynn, 12, is also excelling with the Racers. “Good days are great days and average days can still turn out to be pretty exceptional. The kids seem to have a love for the sport, the same as I do.” Liam will turn his attention to the diamond for the summer, but he’ll be a threat when the snow starts falling again next winter. “I’m just going to remember what I did on the slalom day and remember how it felt,” he said. “I’m really just trying to go as far as I can.”
Canucks’ turnaround deserving of praise
C
anucks crow doesn’t taste good, but I’m willing to eat it. (Insert here playedout pun pertaining to Marc Crawford and the flavour of firm-hold hair mousse). What I’m saying is I might have spoken too soon about the Vancouver Canucks’ future. In a column that appeared in KTW last March, I suggested it might be a few seasons until the Nucks recovered from what was happening at the time. Vancouver was in the midst of a disastrous second-half slide that led to missing the playoffs for the first time since 2008. On the day the column appeared in the paper (March 6, 2014), the hometown Dallas Stars destroyed the Canucks 6-1 on the back of a Tyler Seguin hat trick. Head coach John Tortorella had returned from a suspension resulting from the infamous confrontation — during an intermission in a hallway outside a dressing room — with Calgary head coach Bob Hartley, but watercooler talk had shifted focus. People had started speculating about Torts’ permanent departure. How clairvoyant of them. Fans were irate with the style of hockey the team was playing. The Sedins were handcuffed by Tortorella’s system. David Booth was invis-

ible. Ryan Kesler had checked out. Mike Gillis was under fire for his handling of Roberto Luongo, who had been shipped to Florida earlier that week, and critics were jumping to conclusions about Eddie Lack, who was yanked against Dallas after allowing five goals on 17 shots. This is how I put it: “There will surely be unrest, discontent and a lack of identity” in the coming years and “finding a $2 beer at Rogers Arena seems more likely than a long Canucks playoff run in the next half-decade.” There was discontent and it did lead to unrest, but it resulted in changes that have created a new identity and paved the way for what looks to be a bright future. Who knows, maybe toonie-beer night is coming to the Griffiths Way edifice? With a management group in place that seems to be pushing the right buttons, the idea of a lengthy playoff run in the next few years is not totally insane. See CANUCKS, page A16

piece last March touched on the Canucksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; most-recent Dark Ages, referencing players such as Mike Ridley, Esa Tikkanen, Mark Messier, Dean Malkoc and Jassen Cullimore. Current ownership and management seem to have staved off a return to those bleak days. With the introduction of players like Bo Horvat and Radim Vrbata, the coming-of age of guys like Chris Tanev and Lucas Sbisa, some sandpaper in Derek Dorsett, the re-emergence of trusted veterans, including the twins, and strong play between the pipes, Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s renaissance has been more immediate than immeasurable. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll eat my slice of Canucks crow â&#x20AC;&#x201D; firm-hold mousse and all.
At the very least, president Trevor Linden, general manager Jim Benning and head coach Willie Desjardins are icing a team that is again fun to watch. Much has been made of the mausoleum-like atmosphere in the Vancouver barn of late, but there was nothing funereal about the vibe in the building when vintage Sedinery forced overtime and the Canucks earned a thrilling 2-1 victory over Los Angeles on Monday. It should only get better in the playoffs. Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hockey hatred for Calgary needs to be re-ignited, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m rooting for a first-round showdown with the Flames.

Classics exceed expectations Colin Gilbert was one of four swimmers representing the Kamloops Classic Swimming club at the 2015 Canadian Swimming Trials in Toronto on the weekend.
ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Brad Dalke had been careful to temper expectations heading into last weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2015 Canadian Swimming Trials. The head coach of the Kamloops Classic Swimming club expected his swimmers would compete when they hit the water in the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre, but knew they were also racing against swimmers as much as 10 years their senior, Canadian record holders and former Olympians. More than anything, this meet was about getting experience. It seems a few of the Classics missed the memo. Both Megan Dalke and Colin Gilbert qualified for B finals at the Trials, among the top swimmers in their respective events. Gilbertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weekend was particularly impressive as the swimmer finished with a pair of top 10 results â&#x20AC;&#x201D; seventh in the 800m freestyle, fifth among Canadian swimmers, and 13th in the 1,500m freestyle, 10th among Canadians He was also ninth in the B final of the 400m freestyle, fifth among Canadians. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better than what we expected,â&#x20AC;? Dalke said, reflecting on Gilbertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance at the Trials. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Making top 10 in two events was really

NOTICE FOR TEMPORARY USE PERMIT NO. TUP00049
The Council of the City of Kamloops hereby gives notice that it is proposing to pass a resolution to issue Temporary Use Permit No. TUP00049 for the property below at its regular meeting to be held: TIME: PLACE:
outstanding â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the 800m freestyle and the 1,500m freestyle were fantastic.â&#x20AC;? Gilbert was one of the youngest men in both the 800m and 1,500m events. The eventual winner of the 800m, Kier Maitland, was born 10 years before Gilbert. The eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next youngest racer was still three years his senior. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was definitely satisfied with some of my placings, just because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an open-age competition and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m 16,â&#x20AC;? Gilbert told KTW. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As the years progress, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see yourself in the top 3 and I can see myself in the top 3.â&#x20AC;? All four of Dalkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s swimmers at the event â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Makena Sutherland and Ethan Phillips were also in Toronto â&#x20AC;&#x201D; were 16-year-olds. Keeping their ages
in mind, the Classics head coach said he was pleased with how his athletes performed at the Trials. Together they set eight new club records and gained immeasurable experience in a pressurepacked situation. The weekend was especially significant given the 2016 Olympic Trials will be held in the same venue, against many of the same racers, just one year from now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a whole other ball game,â&#x20AC;? Gilbert said of the Olympic Trials. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be just 17 at the time, still a few years away from his prime as a swimmer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So if I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make Olympics, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the end of the world. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be 17,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At this stage, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no pressure.â&#x20AC;?
Dalke was again trying to temper expectations when asked about the 2016 Trials, noting the time standards needed for the World Championships this year, a similar type of event, were extremely fast. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot of work to do to be able to get ourselves close to that,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opportunities, certainly, to make those, if everything goes absolutely perfect. But, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a ways to go to be able to do it, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for sure.â&#x20AC;? The Classics surprised their coach at the Canadian Swimming Trials though. Who says they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it again this time next year? For compelte results from the Trials go online to kamloopsthisweek.com.
ORGANIZERS GEAR UP FOR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP The new mural stretching above the doors of the McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre turned the page yesterday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kamloops is no longer the former home of the 4 Nations Cup, but the future home of the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World Championship. Dignitaries, organizers and sponsors gathered outside the building yesterday, announcing details for the 2016 IIHF Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s World Championship, which will be held in Kamloops from March 28 to April 4. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are passionate hockey fans here,â&#x20AC;? said Riley Wiwchar, general manager of the World Championship.
A17
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good opportunity for Kamloops to showcase Kamloops to the world.â&#x20AC;? The tournament, second only to the Olympics in prestigious womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hockey events, will feature eight teams, including Canada, the United States, Finland, Sweden, Switzerland, Russia and Japan. The final nation has not yet been decided, but will be either Norway, Denmark, France, Latvia, Czech Republic or Austria. A series of announcements were made at yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event, including an update on negotiations with BC Hockey to host a 35-team female provincial championship
in conjunction with the World Championship. According to Jon Pankuch, co-chair of the World Championship, the decision of whether to award the minor hockey event to Kamloops will be made at BC Hockeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s June 4 AGM. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expected the tourney will include about 600 participants in age groups spanning atom to senior girls. The female midget AAA championship may also be included. Organizers are also gearing up for the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volunteer drive, which will begin on May 1. A total of 400 volunteers will be needed. Kamloops is certainly
gaining a reputation as a host city for international events, Wiwchar said, with events like the World Championship and 4 Nations Cup hitting the Tournament Capital recently. To the GMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knowledge, Kamloops is the only city to host the two womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hockey tournaments in consecutive years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a model Hockey Canada is looking to explore in the future,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Communities, if they show support from the volunteers, if they show support from fans and they prove they can host a great event, it definitely sets itself up for future events.â&#x20AC;?

For the first time since 2011, B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s representative at the 2015 Keystone Cup will be a Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League team. The Campbell River Storm won the gold medal at the 2015 Cyclone Taylor Cup in Mission on Monday, defeating the Kootenay International Junior Hockey Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kimberley Dynamiters 6-5 in the final. The Keystone Cup, which brings together the junior B provincial champions of B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Northern Ontario, gets underway on April 16, in Cold Lake, Alta. The gold-medal tilt will be played on April 19.
Kimberley won the KIJHL title in March, defeating the Kamloops Storm 4-2 in the championship series. Campbell River was the only team at the Cyclone Taylor Cup to go undefeated, continuing an unbeaten streak dating back to the second round of the VIJHL playoffs. The Storm topped the Pacific Junior Hockey Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s North Vancouver Wolf Pack 6-3 to open the tournament, then won a 4-3 overtime victory against the Dynamiters. They fin-
ished round-robin play with a 3-2 defeat of the host Mission City Outlaws, earning their berth in the championship final. The Dynamitersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; only two losses of the tournament came at the hands of the Storm. Mission City finished the junior B provincial championship with a 2-2 record, while North Vancouver lost twice in regulation and twice in overtime. Campbell River has won its last 10 games. The Storm swept a first-round matchup against the Oceanside Generals 4-0, went 4-1 in a second-round series against the Comox Valley Glacier Kings and finished 4-0 in the championship final against the
Victoria Cougars.

Longer converts among new CFL rules Golden Bear CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Kicking the extra point is about to become a little more challenging in the CFL. Converts will be pushed back 20 yards after the league approved a series of significant rule changes yesterday. Extra points will now be kicked from the 32-yard line instead of the 12-yard line. The change is expected to make the extra point less of a foregone conclusion. Last year, 99.4 per cent of kicks for a single point following a touchdown were successful. If a team is trying for a two-point convert, the ball will be scrimmaged from the threeyard line instead of the five-yard line under the new rules. But, the league’s board of governors
ICE MAN PHOTOGRAPHY
The Canadian Football League hopes to make extra-point kicks a little more difficult for its players. The converts will now be done from the 32-yard line.
rejected the idea of testing a three-point convert during the exhibition season if a team successfully ran or passed the football over the goal-line from the 10-yard line. Other approved modifications include: • A defensive back
will be able to contact a receiver in front of him within five yards of the line of scrimmage, but neither player will be allowed to initiate contact beyond five yards. • When a punted ball hits the ground and a five-yard no-yards call is made, the penalty
will automatically be added to the end of the return or the point where the ball was first touched by the return team, whichever results in better field position. • Offences will now be allowed to signal to
the referee they don’t want to substitute and use a tempo offence, resulting in the officials blowing the play in immediately once the ball and yardsticks are set. • A coach’s ability to request a measurement has been removed, leaving it to the referee to measure when he is unsure if a first down has been made. • On punts, the five interior linemen on the kicking team won’t be able to leave the line of scrimmage until the ball is kicked. A 10-yard penalty will result for violating this rule. Coaches will continue to be allowed to challenge defensive pass interference, but the board turned down a proposal that offensive pass interference also be subject to video review.
sinks holein-one
AUGUSTA, Ga. — Jack Nicklaus thrilled the crowd yesterday at the annual Masters par-3 contest, making a hole-in-one on the fourth hole. The six-time Masters champion, playing in the exhibition at age 75, spun an iron shot back into the hole for the ace. His ball bounced twice, then took a third hop before retreating into the hole. Nicklaus was congratulated by playing partners Ben Crenshaw and Gary Player. He said he may have called his own shot. “It’s funny, I had an interview this morning and I said, ‘Well, all I’ve got to do is go out and win the Par-3 and make a hole-in-one,’ and I make a hole-in-one,” Nicklaus said. The 63-year-old Crenshaw seemed as excited as Nicklaus about the shot. Crenshaw will tee off in his 44th and final Masters today. Nicklaus said he likes playing the par-3 because it’s not long. “I actually hit two more shots that hit right around the edge of the hole, had a chance to go in,” he said. “I didn’t finish up very well, but we had a lot of fun.” – Canadian Press

Duffy lawyer uses dictionary to dissect Senate rules Early start described
STEPHANIE LEVITZ
THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — In a trial expected to delve deep into the often murky rules of the Senate, an ordinary dictionary played a key role yesterday during suspended senator Mike Duffy’s second day in court. The definition both sides were in search of was what it means for a place to be someone’s primary residence. It’s a key element in Duffy’s case. The 31 charges he faces include allegations that he fraudulently claimed living expenses for a home in an Ottawa suburb, where he spent most of his time, while declaring a summer house in P.E.I. as his primary residence. Retired Senate law clerk Mark Audcent was the Crown’s first witness in the case, telling the court that, as part of his job, he briefed every new senator as part of an orientation process designed to provide an overview of the require-
It was Dec. 22, 2008, when Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced Mike Duffy would be appointed to the Senate. Audcent testified that the very next day, Dec. 23, Duffy received the standard orientation briefing for new senators — an hourlong presentation from senior Senate staff about the rules and business of becoming a senator. Duffy got the briefing before he was actually a senator, Audcent said — the official date of his appointment was Jan. 2, 2009.
ments of the job. To be appointed a senator, court heard, a person must meet certain criteria, including being a resident of the province from which they are appointed. Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced on Dec. 22, 2008, that Duffy, a popular television personality, would become a senator for Prince Edward Island. Audcent told the court that in Duffy’s orientation session — which took place the next day — he wouldn’t have gone specifically over what it means to be a resi-
That’s not all he got — his expenses were covered as well. Documents entered as evidence at the trial show Duffy claimed the per diem expense available to senators away from their provincial residence on Dec. 23, 28 and 29, getting $81.55 for each day. Between Dec. 29, 2008 and Jan. 4, 2009, he also billed the Senate for more than $4,300 so he and his wife could travel to Charlottetown. — The Canadian Press
dent, saving such detailed discussions for if or when a senator asked for more information. But, by his own estimation, Audcent said, determining residency requires considering a set of indicators, among them where a person primarily lives, where they pay their taxes and get government services such as a health care and where they socialize, doing things like going to church or bowling. “Every indicator is just part of a package, residence is a question of
fact,’’ he said. “You gather these indicators together and you look at the whole picture. “There is no indicator that is absolute.’’ Audcent said, however, that it wasn’t the job of Senate administrators to police whether someone met the requirements to be a senator — that would have been taken care of prior to the person being appointed. The meaning of residence has never been defined, either in the Constitution or by the
MIKE DUFFY Senate, Audcent acknowledged during cross-examination by Duffy’s lawyer, Donald Bayne. Bayne put pages of the concise Oxford English Dictionary in front of Audcent, having him read the definition of primary as “of chief importance or principal.’’ So, since the constitutionality of Duffy’s appointment hinged on him being a resident of P.E.I., it must de facto be his “primary’’ residence, Bayne said. “The minute his status changed form being a pri-
vate journalist broadcaster to being a parliamentary, an appointed senator, the chiefly important residence for his status was P.E.I.,’’ said Bayne. “The one he needs to maintain, yes,’’ answered Audcent, who had earlier told the court that in terms of determining residence there was no minimum number of days required to be spent in a home province. Audcent was shown a memo which the policy adviser for then-government leader in the Senate Marjory LeBreton had sent Duffy and Pamela Wallin, who was appointed the same day as Duffy. The memo dealt with the section of the Constitution that talks about the need for a senator to be resident in the province represented. Wallin also faced a residency problem. She was based in Toronto, but was appointed as a senator for Saskatchewan, where she had a family home.

SARAH (STORM) JEAN FLEMING
I’M GLAD I TOUCHED SHOULDERS WITH YOU
1990 – 2015
There’s a comforting thought at the close of the day When I’m weary and lonely and sad That sort of grips hold of this crusty old heart And bids it be merry and glad. It gets in my soul, and it drives out the blues, And finally thrills through and through. It’s just a sweet memory that chants the refrain, “I’m glad I touched shoulders with you.”
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our precious Sarah on April 3, 2015. She will be lovingly remembered by her Dad and Step mom Doc and Diane Fleming, her Mom and Step dad Gail and Colum McDonnell. Sarah is survived by her Grandparents Eugene (Kathleen) McDonnell, Grandmother Jenny Drysdale of Quebec, Aunts and Uncles Fran (Stan) from Sparwood, BC, Jackie (Ken), Sandi (Jim) all of Kamloops, BC, Charles (Joan) Fleming from Stellarton, NS, Marlene (Lloyd), Fred and Rick all of Thorold, ON, as well as numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Also to mourn her loss is her cousin Edmond, best friends Christa and Amaris and her constant companions, pets Noodle and Freud. She was predeceased by her Nana and Grandpa Ed and Phyllis Huppie, Grandmother Olive Fleming and her Aunt Audrey. Sarah was a beautiful kind daughter who brought much joy to family and friends. She was a voracious reader who loved her books and book stores. She was a gifted writer and artist who had a passion for origami. Sarah loved animals most of all. She was thrilled with her job at Petland. Her supervisor Jo was very special to her. She was a loyal friend to all. Sarah was kind and gentle and she brought joy to everyone in her life. A Celebration of Life will take place on Monday, April 13, 2015 at 1:00 pm at the Cottonwood Centre, 730 Cottonwood Avenue with Pastor Len DenBraber officiating. Family and friends will have an opportunity to share about Sarah with an open mic at her service.
A service will be held on Saturday, April 11 at 11:00 a.m. in the Schoening Funeral Chapel.
The family would like to thank all the staff at Petland who were Sarah’s special family.
Should friends desire, donations may be made to the SPCA or the Salvation Army.

Did you know you were brave, Did you know you were strong, Did you know there was one leaning hard, Did you know that I listened and waited and prayed And was cheered by your simplest word? Did you know that I longed for that smile on your face, For the sound of your voice ringing true, Did you know I grew stronger and better because I had merely touched shoulders with you? I am glad that I live; that I battle and strive For a place that I know I must fill; I’m thankful for sorrows I’ll meet with a grin What fortune may send good or ill; I may not have wealth, I may not be great but I know I shall always be true, For I have in my life that courage you gave, When once I touched shoulders with you.

Tsarnev guilty as charged in Boston bombing DENISE LAVOIE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was convicted on all charges yesterday in the Boston Marathon bombing by a federal jury that now must decide whether the 21-year-old former college student should be executed. Tsarnaev folded his arms, fidgeted and looked down at the
defence table as he listened to one guilty verdict after another on all 30 counts against him, including conspiracy and deadly use of a weapon of mass destruction. Seventeen of those counts are punishable by death. The verdict — reached after a day and a half of deliberations — was practically a foregone conclusion, given his lawyer’s
startling admission at the trial’s outset that Tsarnaev carried out the terror attack with his now-dead older brother, Tamerlan. The two shrapnelpacked pressure-cooker bombs that exploded near the finish line on April 15, 2013, killed three spectators and wounded more than 260 other people, turning the traditionally celebratory home stretch

of the world-famous race into a scene of carnage and putting the city on edge for days. Tsarnaev was found responsible not only for those deaths but for the killing of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer who was gunned down days later. In the trial’s next phase, which could begin as early as Monday, the jury will hear evidence on whether Tsarnaev should get the death penalty or spend the rest of his life in prison. In a bid to save him from a death sentence, defence attorney Judy Clarke has argued that Tsarnaev, then 19, fell under the influence of his radicalized brother. “If not for Tamerlan, it would not have happened,’’ Clarke told the jury during closing arguments. Prosecutors, however, portrayed the brothers — ethnic Chechens who moved to the United States from Russia more than a decade ago — as full partners in a coldblooded plan to punish the U.S. for its wars in Muslim countries. Jihadist writings, lectures and videos were found on both their computers, though the defence argued that Tamerlan downloaded the material and sent it to his brother. Tamerlan, 26, died when he was shot by police and run over by his brother during a chaotic getaway attempt days after the bombing.
CANADIANS TORN ON DEATH PENALTY Canadians who were in Boston at the time of the fatal 2013 bombings that rocked the city say they’re pleased that one of the attackers has been convicted, but have mixed feelings about his ultimate fate. Twenty-one-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was found guilty yesterday on all 30 counts against him — 17 of those counts are punishable by death. Some Canadians believe Tsarnaev should face the death penalty for helping to create and detonate the two shrapnel-packed pressure-cooker bombs that killed three people and injured more than 260 others. But one argues that a life sentence behind bars is the best way to send a message to other would-be attackers. More than 2,000 Canadians were registered to take part in the 2013 marathon. None of them were among the fatalities. — The Canadian Press The government called 92 witnesses over 15 days, painting a hellish scene of torn-off limbs, blood-spattered pavement, ghastly screams and the smell of sulfur and burned hair. Survivors gave heartbreaking testimony about losing legs in the blasts or watching people die. The father of eightyear-old Martin Richard described making the agonizing decision to leave his mortally wounded son so he could get help for their six-year-old daughter, whose leg had been blown off. In the courtroom Wednesday, Denise Richard, the boy’s mother, wiped tears
from her face after the verdict. The boy’s father, Bill Richard, embraced one of the prosecutors. In Russia, Tsarnaev’s father, Anzor Tsarnaev, told The Associated Press in recent days that he would have no comment. The others killed in the bombing were Lingzi Lu, a 23-yearold Chinese graduate student at Boston University, and Krystle Campbell, a 29-yearold restaurant manager. MIT Officer Sean Collier was shot to death at close range days later. In a statement, Collier’s family welcomed the verdict and added: “The strength and bond that every-
one has shown during these last two years proves that if these terrorists thought that they would somehow strike fear in the hearts of people, they monumentally failed.’’ Some of the most damning evidence at the trial included video showing Tsarnaev planting a backpack containing one of the bombs near where the eight-year-old boy was standing, and incriminating statements scrawled inside the drydocked boat where a wounded and bleeding Tsarnaev was captured days after the tragedy. “Stop killing our innocent people and we will stop,’’ he wrote. Tsarnaev’s lawyers barely cross-examined the government’s witnesses and called just four people to the stand over less than two days, all in an effort to portray the older brother as the guiding force in the plot. According to defence testimony, phone records showed Dzhokhar was at the University of MassachusettsDartmouth while his brother was buying bomb components, including pressure cookers and BBs. Tamerlan’s computer showed search terms such as “detonator’’ and “transmitter and receiver,’’ while Dzhokhar was largely spending time on Facebook and other social media sites. Tamerlan’s fingerprints, but not Dzhokhar’s, were found on pieces of the two bombs.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIRUT — When hundreds of Islamic State militants muscled into the Yarmouk refugee camp last week and planted their black flags amid the charred, blown-out buildings, it was the latest trial for the remaining Palestinians who for two years have endured a suffocating government siege, starvation and disease. The dire situation in the camp appears certain to deteriorate as the extremist group looks to consolidate its hold and establish a presence near the
heart of the Syrian capital. It is a high-stakes fight whose outcome may determine the direction of the civil war around Damascus, where President Bashar Assad has maintained a firm grip despite the presence of thousands of rebels in surrounding suburbs. “The situation is catastrophic. There is barely food and water, and the only functioning hospital has long run out of medication,’’ said a resident of the camp who communicated by writing on condition of anonymity yesterday because of safety fears. Heavy clashes continued in
the camp, a week after extremists from the Islamic State group burst in from the Hajar Aswad district south of Damascus. They had settled in that area after being pushed out of regions east of the capital by Islamic rebels last year. At least 18 civilians, including a humanitarian worker and a 12-year-old, have been killed in Yarmouk in the past week since ISIL attacked, Amnesty International said. One of Yarmouk’s two surviving medical facilities, the Palestine Hospital, was struck April 1 by a missile.

or Cathie Peters, the biannual National Art Show and Sale is a chance to learn. The president of the ThompsonNicola-Shuswap chapter of the Federation of Canadian Artists looks forward to art from throughout the federation — as far as Nova Scotia this year — varied artists and techniques. “Every year, you get something new,” Peters said. It also gives those who visit the show, which begins at the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre tomorrow, something fresh, she said. “Because it pulls from anywhere in the federation it’s a chance to see artwork that ordinarily we wouldn’t see here,” Peters said. This year, for example, among the 90 or so pieces that will be on display, the show will feature a medium it hasn’t exhibited in the eight years since it began. Vancouver printmaker Elisabeth Sommerville has submitted a piece called Empty Nest, which she created through stone lithography. The technique uses a stone as the drawing surface, with the artist etching the image into the stone before making a print. “We’ve never had one of those before,” Peters said. “It’s really interesting . . . . It’s quite a detailed empty bird’s nest.” Sommerville is one of the senior artists in the show, having recently received the designation through the federation, and will

be competing for prizes within a more experienced category. Peters said what makes the National Arts Show and Sale different from others in town is it’s judging process — the show is juried twice. “They’re sort of juried for quality coming in,” Peters said. “Then we have three jurors who are going to be there on Friday night.” About 77 pieces will be critiqued by artists Lalita Hamill, Dene Croft and Barry Rafuse. Then, the artists who contributed those pieces will judge the senior artists in a separate competition. There’s also an award for the top member of the local chapter, of which 26 members have contributed pieces. The show runs until April 19 at the centre, at 7 West Seymour St, and is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. until the final day when it closes early at 3 p.m. Artists will be on duty at the centre. “They’re able to answer questions and talk about how things are done and maybe a little bit about the artist,” Peters said. She encourages visitors to stop by on Saturdays and Sundays during the show, when the centre may not usually be open. “It’s a perfect time to come because parking is easy,” she said. “You can spend as much time as you want.” Those who visit will also have the opportunity to vote for the piece that will earn people’s choice award. For more information about the local chapter or the show, go online to tnsc.ca.
Elisabeth Sommerville’s Empty Nest is one of the 90 or so works on display beginning tomorrow at the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre for the biannual National Art Show and Sale.
BIRD’S NEST NO ORDINARY PRINT
Vancouver printmaker Elisabeth Sommerville will be showcasing Empty Nest at the biannual National Art Show and Sale, beginning tomorrow, which features a technique new to the event — stone lithography.
The technique uses stone, nitric acid, gum arabic and different balances of oil and water to create the print. The artist grinds down the stone to create a fresh flat surface.

yland and Gillian Moranz are heading west this week. It’s a new venture for the siblings — both singer-songwriters, they’ve performed together a few times, but never on a tour. “It’s been so fun,” Ryland said of the gigs in their stomping grounds of southern Alberta. “So, we decided to take it out on the road.” That includes a stop in Kamloops on Saturday, for a show at The Art We Are, 246 Victoria St.
ON STAGE WHO: Ryland and Gillian Moranz WHEN: Saturday, April 11 WHERE: The Art We Are, 246 Victoria St.
With five shows in six days, sibling solidarity might be taxed but, Ryland said, “we’re good friends and good travelling buddies, a good pairing. So, this is like a test drive for us.” He’s confident, however, it will be six days of nothing but fun and music. The pair grew up in Fort MacLeod, home of the South County Fair — and the stage
for plenty of performances through the years. “We were festival kids,” Ryland said. Their parents were also musicians, but the kids stayed out of the way until they figured out what they wanted to do. Each found folk their particular genre, but their take on music is decidedly different, with Gillian — who performs under the name Little Jill — crafting lyrics that come from her sombre side, while Ryland’s tend to be more upbeat. He’s also been performing longer than his younger sister, with about a decade of music and storytelling and performing with acoustic and
electric guitar, harmonica, piano, mandolin, banjo and accordion. Gillian has stepped out on her own after having been artistic director for the hometown fair and working at the Waterton Lakes Opera House, a job she continues with today. The other difference is one Ryland said will serve them well as they head out on tour — he described himself as a laidback kind of person who can get lost in the details while Gilliam is very detailoriented. “She’ll get us to the venues,” he said, “and I’ll make sure she gets fed.” The Kamloops show starts at 7 p.m.

Spring over to 17th annual home show on McArthur Island Spring seems to have sprung back when winter still claimed the calendar, but this weekend’s annual Kamloops Spring Home Show is definitive proof the season of warmth is entrenched in the Tournament Capital. The 17th annual event takes over the McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre on the weekend, with more than 150 exhibitors filling both arenas. Organizer Jim Rice said the latest and greatest in home improvement will again be featured at the show. From landscaping to renovations to finding that right addition to the living room, the home show will have options on display and experts to answer questions.
Returning this year is the Dodge Test Drive event, which gives passersby a chance to test drive a Dodge pickup truck, with plenty of giveaways part of the promotion. While the adults will have myriad exhibitors to visit, kids will be entertained by the TLC for Pets petting zoo, where various animals can be cuddled. In addition, there will be plenty of contests to enter as visitors walk from one exhibit to another in both arenas. As always entrance to the show — and parking outside — is free. “The show is a good place to go for any home-improvement idea,” Rice said. “Talk to the experts and they can help you.”
Rice said the home show is being held earlier in April this year, which should result in less traffic congestion on McArthur Island as fewer sports events will be taking place compared to years past. In addition, the demolition of the McArthur Island Youth Clubhouse should ease extra traffic, while Overlanders Bridge will be a non-issue as the major construction project on the span will not begin until next week at the earliest. For those with an appetite, the sport centre’s concession will be open. The Kamloops Spring Home Show will take place on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
City to give away 500 tree coupons The City of Kamloops has tree coupons valued at $20 available to the public. Residents can pick one up at city hall, 7 West Victoria St., or at the public works centre, 955 Concordia Way, during regular business hours, Mondays to Fridays, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
There are 500 coupons available and they will be handed out on a first-come, first-served basis, with a limit of one coupon per household. The coupon can also be used toward the purchase of fruit trees. The city has other tree-planting incentives for residents, which include: • Boulevard treeplanting program: This program
allows neighbourhoods to apply for trees to be planted on their street if homeowners agree to be responsible for irrigating them. • Kamloops community forest: This is a Communities in Bloom legacy project in which people can dedicate a memorial or celebratory tree in the area set aside between Riverside and Pioneer parks or in other park areas.

CENTRAL CITY STORIES BEER SPECS
Central City Brewing’s Detective Saison, 6 per cent ABV, 650 mL, special release.
I TRY TAWAINESE TEA EGGS Kamloops This Week is amping up its inner foodie in 2015. The biweekly Cuisine page looks a bit different this year. Each month, we will highlight recipes as they correspond to various cultural holidays. Those recipes will come from foodies in the community — from restaurant chefs and owners to home cooks — along with a brief explanation of the dish and holiday. This series will be paired with KTW reporter Andrea Klassen’s beer column on the Cuisine page every second Thursday. Bon apetit! This month, KTW is featuring Taiwanese food in honour of the Qingming festival, also known as Tomb Sweeping Day. The public holiday was on April 5 and is a memorial day of sorts.
Families visit cemeteries to clean graves of relatives and pay respects to those who have died. While this tradition also occurs in China, Taiwan specifically celebrates the anniver-
WINE DINNER FEATURING
sary of former political leader Chiang KaiShek’s death. Tai Wei Lee, owner of Sunmei Taiwanese Cuisine, shared a recipe for tea eggs, which he calls “flavourful and tasty.”
TEA EGGS
Courtesy Tai Wei Lee, owner of Sunmei Taiwanese Cuisine
8 eggs 1 litre of water 2 black tea bags 1 cinnamon stick 2 star anise 4 tbsp. soy sauce 1 tbsp. sugar 1 tsp. salt Boil eggs for eight minutes. Drain the eggs and immediately soak in cold water, until cold. Gently crack the eggshells with a spoon or knife. Place the cracked eggs, remaining ingredients and water in the pot and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 15 minutes. Remove the tea bags. Let the eggs soak in the tea mixture for about four hours.

t’s a shame Central City’s new comicbook line of beers got hit with a plagiarism scandal straight out the gate, but dozens of B.C. news headlines about Detective Sarah Saison’s resemblance to an existing comic’s character did get me interested in bumping this beer to the top of my onlyever-wheat-beers list. (There are at least two more to go. The heart wants what it wants, guys.) (Also, beer in a minute I swear — but I would’ve guessed Saison was a riff on DC’s Maggie Sawyer, which says something about the character design of tough-asnails cops . . . ) Detective pours a bright, foggy yellow with plenty of bubbles. There’s not much sweetness here and only a bit of fruit, in favour of wheat and spice. The pink peppercorn the brewery has added is the distinctive note here and I quite like it.
ANDREA KLASSEN
Bad
RIDER In addition to the kick it gives the beer, there’s an almost herbaceous quality here that’s intriguing, if a little hard to put my finger on to describe. Central City’s going to have four of these character-themed beers out this year, with Mayor Kolsch up next. The brewery’s pretty much never disappointed me to date, so I can only imagine we’ll return to this project when the next bottle drops. Andrea Klassen is a KTW reporter and beer blogger.

Did somebody say road trip? LISA CALVI
DRIVEWAY CANADA
T
he first time I drove on public roads, I was at the wheel of my then-boyfriend’s Chevy Vega. I remember cresting a hill and gasping sharply with the realization I was in control. The curvy road splayed far below wasn’t some carnival ride with someone else at the helm. I couldn’t just close my eyes and wait for the terror to subside — it was up to me. I could coast down and weave gently through the corners or squeeze the throttle and feel the rush of acceleration and adrenaline. As a 16-year-old living in a small town, driving meant autonomy. There were plenty of road trips growing up. I remember long hauls from Toronto to North Carolina and Florida with my dad driving. After he and my mom left Italy, they seemed to have an urge to see the new continent they now called home. Driving, I think, satisfied a curiosity about the world
they wanted to share with us. When we moved back to Europe for a three-year period during my early teenage years, the family would venture out each Sunday in our Peugeot 504 to discover a new region. Mom would be in the passenger seat with the maps and my baby brother asleep on her lap. There was always music on those road trips because music and road trips go together like American interstate highways and bad coffee. Music motivates, keeps you alert and adds to the euphoria of the open road. Some of my fondest memories are of singing with my sister in the backseat of the Peugeot on the winding roads of Central France. Before iPads, iPhones, in-car entertainment systems and satellite radio, there were Beatles’ songs, ‘Michael, Row Your Boat Ashore’, and trying to remember all the words of Bohemian Rhapsody. Road games involved spotting licence plates from other countries, identifying makes of vehicles and fighting over whose turn it was
Driveway Canada’s Lisa Calvi is looking forward to hitting the open road this summer.
to be a leaning post for sleeping baby brother, now in the back seat. I’ve always been interested in cars, roads and travel. I love the growl of a revving eight-cylinder engine. A transport truck rolling down the highway at night all lit up like a small city still gets me excited. I just never imagined those things would be so engrained in my work and life. With our automotive event-planning business, my husband,
Garry Sowerby, and I are on the road most days of the year. It was our love of the road that brought us together. We could both relate to the words of Jack Kerouac in his classic On the Road: “ . . . we were leaving confusion and nonsense behind and performing our one noble function of the time, move.” Our first date was a five-hour return drive to a little spot my suitor knew. It must have worked
because that was 17 years ago. Being on the road is when our best scheming takes place. It’s romantic, soulcleansing and gives us a wider sense of the world. What about driving, though, actually gripping the wheel and pushing the throttle? If you forget the destination, the freedom of movement, the road trip, the music — what is driving? It’s that feeling I got as I whipped a Porsche Boxster S around the
tight-tight corners at a racetrack, squeezing through coned gates, powering down straight stretches and hearing the resonant instantly-recognizable growl of a Porsche engine. I had never driven faster, with such abandon, yet with such intense concentration. Or, maybe I did. The 200 km/h reading on the digital speedometer of the Cadillac ATS I was driving on the back straightaway of one of the fastest, most chal-
lenging tracks in North America, Mosport, still flashes in my dreams. None of this compares to driving my own car — a pristine white 1999 Volkswagen Golf GTI VR6. When I bought it, I knew there were two extra cylinders under the hood than the Golf GL version and that it had an additional 57 horsepower. But, when I drive it, I don’t think about horsepower, torque or fuel economy. Did somebody say road trip?

$2,000 or more and are found mainly on luxury cars or high-end versions of mainstream vehicles. Often to get the equipment, buyers
also have to pay for other items in a package such as a sunroof or leather seats. But, Toyota said that on the 2016 RAV4, the Lexus RX and some other models, the equipment will be available at about $300 to $635. Initially, Toyota customers may have to pay for high-end versions of the vehicles or pay for packages with other options, but Toyota’s goal is to make the systems as accessible as possible, spokeswoman Cindy Knight said. Packaging details are still being worked out, she said. Toyota said it can sell the systems cheaper because it’s mass-producing them, plus the cost of cameras and other sensors continues to fall. And, industry analysts say, the lower prices could give Toyota an advantage over the competition, at least for a short time. The lower price tag will appeal to the typical Toyota buyer, who is practical and would consider the devices if the cost is appealing, said IHS senior analyst Stephanie Brinley. It also lets Toyota tell the story of “This is how we can take care of our customers and our drivers.’’ But, more importantly, she said, it makes the safety devices available to a wider range of people quickly and is likely to prevent crashes and save lives. Brinley expects other automakers to follow Toyota shortly in lowering prices and making the devices available on more models. Automatic braking is following the usual progression of automotive safety features, starting in luxury cars and falling in price as it makes its way to loaded-out mainstream cars and eventually to all vehicles. Air bags and electronic stability control followed a similar pattern, although they were eventually required by the government, Brinley said. For Toyota vehicles, the $300 package will use cameras, laser and radar to find objects ahead of the car.
