Michalko still looking DELYNDA PILON newsroom@pgfreepress.com
DeLynda PILON/Free Press
Melissa Jaeger with STEP felt the power when she got up on a dozer during Fiddler industries’ open house last month.
By 2010 Ray Michalko, a private investigator and former RCMP officer, logged about a year’s worth of hours looking into the murders and disappearances along the Highway of Tears. Although he expected to return to the area in the spring alongside a few other experts he was calling in on the investigation, he said he hasn’t moved forward with that plan yet. Instead he’s hoping to come to Prince George, if everything works out, in August. “Every time I think I’m going to stop, I get a call with information that seems quite interesting,” he said. Currently he said he has a couple of leads he wants to follow up on though he won’t say, specifically, who he needs to talk to. Michalko’s focus in the Prince George area includes the murders of Roxanne Thiara and Leah Alishia Germaine and the disappearance of Nicole Hoar. Thiara was 15 when she went missing from Prince George in November of 1994. Her body was discovered dumped near Burns Lake. Germaine’s body was found Dec. 9, 1994. The Prince George girl was 15 and knew Thiara. Hoar, 25, was hitchhiking on Highway16 and last seen June 21, 2002 in Prince George. Her body has never been found. Michalko added he’s spent a fair amount of time looking into the murder of Alberta Williams.
FIREPLACES & INSERTS
Williams, 24, was last seen Aug. 26, 1989 in Prince Rupert. Her body was found Sept. 16, 1989 on Highway. 16. The first nine women who went missing, he added, remains a focus for him though he doesn’t believe they are all the work of a serial killer. “There may be a serial killer involved with a couple of them, but for the most part the information I’m getting is these women were just in the wrong place at the wrong time, which is sometimes worse because then you’re looking at nine killers instead of one.” He added that, from listening to the news, the RCMP said at one point they felt there were three serial killers operating in the province. One was dead. One was Robert Pickton. The other, he believes, is being hunted by EPANA, a special unit put together by the RCMP to investigate the Highway of Tears disappearances and murders. Also of interest, he said, is the official investigation into missing women in the province. One transcript of testimony he read with interest, he said, came from a retired RCMP officer testified that the force is not very adept at handling disappearances. “There seems to be a big problem with missing women across Western Canada,” he said. Michalko said if he finds something of interest in his investigation, he shares it with the police after he pursues the lead as far as he can. Something, he added, he does on his own time and own dime.

For the longest time, GMC was considered a professional truck brand. But since General Motors, owner of the GMC brand, stopped making medium and heavy-duty trucks, the company had to nd itself a new vocation. Consequently, GMC began to offer people movers in its line-up. While everyone is waiting for the upcoming Granite compact CUV to hit the market, the smallest vehicle your GMC dealer can offer you is the tough looking Terrain. This is a mid-sized crossover, similar to the Chevrolet Equinox, which is powered by a four-cylinder engine or a V-6. It can be ordered with front- or all-wheel drive. Following this successful light truck is the bigger Acadia, also front- or all-wheel drive, that can carry up to eight passengers. This family friendly crossover, available in the luxury Denali trim, can pull up to 2,363 kilograms! GMC’s biggest SUV remains the impressive Yukon, available as a big station wagon or a longer XL version. The Yukon can be bought as a hybrid with a short body or as a very luxurious Denali model. Where GMC excels is in the pick-up segment. Its smallest offering remains the well designed Canyon, but a lot of people go for the full-sized Sierra, available in many sizes and trims, including a unique hybrid version. The Sierra is also offered in the more luxurious Denali trims or as a more robust HD version. With the HD, it is possible to order a strong diesel engine. And last but not least, let’s not forget that GMC still produces the classic commercial delivery van, the Savana.

When General Motors had to eliminate some brands during its reorganization, many feared that Buick would be a casualty. Thank heavens, it wasn’t! As a matter of fact, it is back in better shape than ever. And did you know that Buick was also among China’s favourite brand of cars? Buick now offers four vehicles in its line-up, with a fth model coming out soon. The biggest car on offer is a great looking full-sized sedan, called the LaCrosse. This four-door, front-wheel drive is powered by a base 182-horsepower, four-cylinder engine that now comes with the stop-start technology. That means that when the car is stopped at a trafc light, its engine shuts off and restarts automatically when the driver takes his or her foot off the brake pedal. A V-6 engine is still available. The mid-sized Buick is called the Regal. Also a front-wheel drive, it only comes with a four-cylinder engine, but the Turbo GS version develops some 270 horsepower! This is quite a sports sedan! Incidentally, this great looking car is based on a German GM product. The smallest car Buick has to offer right now is the highly styled Verano compact sedan. Though it shares its basic structure with the Chevrolet Cruze, all resemblance stops there. The Verano is powered by a bigger and more powerful four-cylinder engine and its interior is far more luxurious. Buick dealers also offer the now well-known Enclave crossover, the brand’s biggest vehicle, powered by a V-6 engine and available with front- or all-wheel drive. It will soon be joined by the recently unveiled smaller crossover, the Encore.

forums and written submissions, the views of British Columbians on the development of a model to build a stronger voice for British Columbia’s seniors will emerge. The consultation will look at the role and functions of the Office of the Seniors’ Advocate with a particular focus on how the role could collaborate with existing organizations who perform similar roles for B.C.’s seniors. The objectives for the consultation process are: • Identify the types of issues that the Office of the Seniors’ Advocate could assist seniors with • Identify the range and scope of services for the Office of the Seniors’ Advocate • Identify issues and opportunities on how the Seniors’ Advocate can work with community organizations currently engaged in similar work • Ensure seniors, their families and caregivers have a voice in the creation of Office of the Seniors’ Advocate. Anyone who wants to provide input to questions (e.g. How could an Office of the Seniors’ Advocate help seniors in B.C.? What should be the priority focus for the Seniors’ Advocate? Should there be an age range to access the Office? What could be the role of the Seniors Advocate in elder abuse prevention and response? How can the Seniors advocate best engage seniors to ensure that their voice is heard?) can send written responses to Seniors Action Plan, Ministry of Health, P.O. Box 9825, Stn. Prov. Gov. Victoria, B.C. V8W 9W4 or via e-mail to SeniorsAdvocate @gov.b.ca. Deadline for written submissions is July 31.

Seniors are a growing population with growing needs. In its Improving Care for B.C. Seniors: An Action Plan, the provincial government announced in February concrete plans to improve the quality of life for all seniors with the goal to help them remain independent for as long as possible. The action plan outlines steps aimed at making it easier for seniors and their families to access and understand the care system, and identifies ways to strengthen protection for vulnerable seniors. The plan includes creation of an Office of the Seniors’ Advocate for B.C. that, according to a recent consultation discussion paper on the move, will “support a more accessible, transparent and accountable approach to addressing issues and interests of seniors in British Columbia.” What will the Seniors Advocate do? Older adults, families and stakeholders are being invited to help shape the future role of the Seniors’ Advocate by taking part in provincewide consultation process. On June 25 government representatives were at the Prince George Civic Centre hearing from local seniors on a variety of issues. “We want to provide a strong voice for British Columbia seniors,” said Pamela Martin, director of outreach, Office of the Premier. “There are so many agencies, people don’t know about them all, and we’re hoping to help them navigate their way to them. We will be visiting 10 communities in the province where we’ll be giving workshops and inviting input from interested groups.” Martin and Parliamentary Secretary for Seniors Ron Cantelon (MLA for ParksvilleQualicum) spoke briefly with the Free Press Monday in general terms about what issues are important to seniors and any views or suggestions they have on how to improve the lives of seniors. (Afternoon presentations by local interest groups and individuals were closed to the media.) “My job is to listen on behalf of seniors,” said Martin, who notes a Seniors’ Advocate will be appointed within one year. In the meantime, they plan to gather from seniors in the province as much information as they can. “We’ve heard lots of touching stories...stories from seniors who have been abused...we’ve talked to people about parents who can’t get proper care for things like dementia. We’re listening very carefully to them because we want to make sure we get it (role of the Seniors’ Advocate) right.“ Martin said housing, health and financial issues remain high on the list on concerns for seniors. As well, seniors of all ages continue to need help in accessing support systems, healthcare and filling out paperwork such as applications for old age pensions. They have questions that require answers. A seniors support line set up June 1 is “going well,” said Cantelon. There have been 268 enquiries so far on a wide variety of issues, he said. It is expected that through meetings, public

“Anybody can catch HIV.” – TONY
Son, brother and Positive Frontline Warrior
HIV is a real concern within our communities. You can contract HIV primarily through unprotected sex and by sharing needles. HIV can live in your body for years without you knowing and all the while you can be passing it to others. At least 25 per cent of people who are HIV+ do not know and these 25 per cent are estimated to be responsible for 75 per cent of new infections. Northern Health, in collaboration with its community partners, is working with the Province of BC to prevent the spread of HIV by expanding HIV testing, treatment, and support services to British Columbians.

Province boosts CNC
The Aboriginal Service Plan (ASP) at the College of New Caledonia got a half-million dollar boost last month. The provincial government announced June 21, National Aboriginal Day, that it was committing more than $4.2 million for ASP projects at 11 post-secondary institutions, including $542,000 for CNC. “We are delighted the government has funded Phase 2 of the community-driven ASP program,” CNC president John Bowman said in a press release, “which will have a tremendous impact on Aboriginal learners and their communities.” During Phase 1 of the program, he said, CNC saw Aboriginal enrolment go to 1,839 in all programs in 2010-11, up from 744 in 2006-07. “This funding will allow the great work, partnerships and community engagement to continue.” The funding will be added to $200,000 in funding of its own CNC had already committed to for the 2012-13 school year. It will allow CNC and its partners – 20 First Nations, aboriginal organizations, Aboriginal individuals, Elders and other post-secondary institutions – to move forward with the second phase of the ASP. Activities include the college-wide Yinka Dene Council, Aboriginal advisories at each campus, and the campus-based Aboriginal liaison positions. Additional activities include language programs, policy development, essential skills training, student support, and more.

Linear accelerators provide the radiation therapy used to treat a variety of cancers. Radiation therapy makes use of high-energy x-rays to kill tumour cells. Radiation therapy is useful as curative treatment for some types of cancer, and also to relieve symptoms if cancer spreads. Radiation may be used on its own, or in conjunction with chemotherapy or surgery. The radiation therapy units at the BC Cancer Agency Centre for the North are the most high-end and technologically integrated units available on the market.

Council has thrown its support behind bringing new technology and engineering programs to post-secondary institutions in the north. The resolution, brought forward as a notice of motion report by Coun. Albert Koehler, has no economic repercussions, however it does state the goal is a community priority for the city. “Many organizations in Prince George have provided an endorsement,” Koehler said when he introduced the motion at the June 11 council meeting. The report states, “Many corporations are currently not in the position to accept new orders while orders in progress have to be delayed, which leads to foreclosure of economic opportunities and a potential slowdown of or economy in all areas due to lack of properly skilled personnel.”

We like everything Prince George has to offer, like the outdoors. “It would have been a huge upheaval to move somewhere else again.” Winwood says the new position does mean he will have to cut back on both his current practice and his research work. “I’ll still do some clinical work, but it will probably be about one-third of what I have been doing. I also won’t be able to do as much lab work as I had been doing. “On the other hand,

Spurlock lightens up for role
Te re s a M A LLA M / Fre e Pre s s
Amanda Spurlock as Ulla during rehearsals on the set of The Producers at the PG Playhouse.
The Producers - July 26 to Aug. 4 TERESA MALLAM arts@pgfreepress.com
Actress Amanda Spurlock will find out if blondes really do have more fun. The natural brunette dons a blonde wig – bring on the blonde jokes, she has a sense of humour – for her leading lady role in Judy Russell’s production of The Producers. The musical comedy is an adaptation of the Mel Brooks’ 1968 film. Spurlock is well known on the local musical theatre scene for her work on several Excalibur productions including Miss Saigon and Beauty and the Beast. She’s back on stage after spending a year studying theatre in New York City. “Max and Leo meet me [as Ulla] when I come to audition for a part. I think Ulla is more confident of her effect on men than on her singing and dancing ability. But she gets the part – maybe because she’s the only woman under 85 years old to come to their studio in a long time.” Spurlock laughs and explains it’s part of the storyline. A little old lady has invested her money in the theatre. Indeed, the story centres around two theatrical producers who scheme to get rich with a Broadway flop by pocketing the profits. They reason that producing a bad play with terrible script, no-talent actors and even worse director is bound to fail – thereby saving on costs. The role of Ulla, which has changed from “blonde bimbo” in the movie version to a more three-dimensional character, provides lots of opportunity for Spurlock to show her flair for comedy. “This is a completely different role from anything I’ve ever done before... and I guess I’ll also find out if blondes really do have more fun.” Fellow cast member Gil Botelho plays conniving producer Max Bialystock
along with Owen Selkirk as mousy accountant Leo Bloom, Bill Russell as Roger Debris, Andrew Russell as Franz Liebkind, Nigel McInnis as Carmen Ghia and Murray Gable as the Bum. Robin Norman is stage manager, choreographer is Kristen Helfrich. Rehearsals began in May and producer Judy Russell says the fun never stops. Not until – being the producer – she says it does. That’s kind of an inside joke, and to understand it, you have to see the show and its strong characters. “I am so loving working on a real musical comedy again,” said Russell. “It reminds me of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum or Nunsense. Pure shameless fun on a level that you just don’t get very often.” The local cast of triple-threat talented actors, dancers and singers has “had a ball” getting ready to bring The Producers to the stage, she said. “We laugh constantly in rehearsal, and yet, there is still room for great singing, dancing and some very theatrical moments. “The Producers was the first show I ever saw on Broadway and it is fittingly all about being on Broadway.” The show is one of Russell’s personal favourites. “I think this is the quirkiest show we’ve ever produced and we are so happy to do this with a fabulously dedicated cast which brings amazing talent and energy to every rehearsal. You always know when you look forward to rehearsals that the show is going to be fantastic.” Judy Russell’s production of The Producers runs July 26 to August 4 at the Prince George Playhouse.

Charlie Daniels plays P.G. Charlie Daniels and his band are coming to the CN Centre for Sunday, October 28. Tickets went on sale Thursday, June 28. Charlie Daniels, known for his fiddle playing, is a music icon that has been performing for over 50 years. His style is an exhilarating mixture of rock, country, bluegrass, blues, and gospel. Daniels’ rebel anthems Long Haired Country Boy and The South’s Gonna Do It propelled his 1975 collection Fire On the Mountain to double platinum status. He won a Grammy Award in 1979 for The Devil Went Down to Georgia and the following year, the
song became a major crossover success on rock radio stations, after its inclusion on the soundtrack for the hit movie Urban Cowboy. The Charlie Daniels Band also appeared in the movie, and the song still receives regular airplay on classic rock and country stations. Charlie and The CDB have earned awards from the Gospel Music Association, the Country Music Association and Academy of Country Music. The CDB’s current cd release on Blue Hat Records/E1 Ent is Land That I Love, a patriotic compilation including two new cuts (Iraq Blues and What This World Needs is a Few More Rednecks 2010).

Q DIAMOND JUBILEE AWARDS
Special Olympics organizers honoured
ALLAN WISHART allanw@pgfreepress.com
Three long-time volunteers with Prince George Special Olympics knew June 21 would be a special night. They didn’t know how special, though. Ivy Whitfield, who was one of the founders of Special Olympics in Prince George in 1986, and Thom and Jacquie Ross, who have volunteered for 25 years, were honoured with the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Award.
The awards were presented by CaribooPrince George MP Dick Harris during a reception for the Dick Harris Charity Classic Golf Tournament, a fundraiser for Special Olympics in Prince George. “Ivy Whitfield pioneered Special Olympics in Prince George in 1986,” Harris said in a press release, “and to this day she continues to help build the organization through her vision to help change the lives of many for the better. “For 25 years, Jacquie and Thom Ross have provided a devoted service to this
very special community,” he continued, “by fundraising, training coaches, and coordinating a multitude of other programs.” As Harris addressed the crowd at the reception and thanked them for their continued support of the tournament and Special Olympics, he called on Whitfield and the Rosses to join him. He then surprised all of them by announcing they were receiving the award, which consists of a medal, a certificate signed by Governor-General David Johnston, and a booklet listing all the recipients in the riding.
Then Harris let the crowd in on a little secret: All three of the recipients had known the awards were being given out – but none of them knew they were getting one. “I had to get a letter recommending the Rosses and explaining why they deserved the award,” he said, “so I asked Ivy to write the letter. “I also needed a letter for Ivy, so I asked the Rosses to write that one.” Harris is conferring 30 awards in the region as a token of the Queen’s esteem for their services to their communities and to Canada.

Alderson making headway at UNBC
ALISTAIR MCINNIS sports@pgfreepress.com
UNBC men’s soccer head coach Alan Alderson has been working in his office for fewer than three weeks. But he’s already secured key recruits for next season, met with returning players and had discussions with last year’s head coach Sonny Pawar. On the evening of June 15, he held his first training session inside the Northern Sport Centre fieldhouse. Although training camp isn’t set to begin until mid-August, he plans on holding practices twice a week over the next month and a half. “Part of that is to develop good habits in an environment where they’re pushed and challenged, and the other piece of it is to integrate the new guys with the returning players,” says Alderson, who accepted the position in May. Alderson has been living in Prince George for only a few weeks, but his efforts towards building a contender at UNBC began before he even moved to his new home. He was hired out of Calgary, where he was the director of coaching for the NSD Soccer Club and Total Soccer Development, also serving duties as the Alberta Soccer Association’s U-16 boys provincial coach. “In this particular case, I signed my contract, faxed it in, and that night I made 12 phone calls to some boys that I coached for a Super Y team (in the Lower Mainland) that finished
third in North America, so an incredibly talented group of kids.” Making a dozen phone calls that soon seems extreme. But Alderson has coached long enough to know better than to underestimate the recruiting process. While guiding players in soccer is no walk in the park, bringing in recruits is a different challenge altogether. By Wednesday, Alderson had secured a few recruits from the Lower Mainland. Four players from the Prince George Under-18 Kodiaks had also committed to to attending UNBC for their rookie season. Alderson has looked over the Timberwolves’ Canada West Universities Athletic Association schedule. The Timberwolves open their 14-game schedule with a road doubleheader against the Canadian Interuniversity Sport defending champion Victoria Vikes on Sept. 7 and 8. For non-divisional rivals, games against UNBC represent their only contest of the weekend. On top of that, only six of the 14 games will unfold in Prince George. UNBC joins the Vikes, UBC Thunderbirds (Vancouver), Trinity Western Spartans (Langley) and Fraser Valley Cascades (Abbotsford) in the fiveteam Pacific Division. The six-team Prairie Division is made up of the Alberta Golden Bears (Edmonton), Calgary Dinos, Mount Royal Cougars (Calgary), Lethbridge (Alberta) Pronghorns, Saskatchewan Huskies (Saskatoon) and Winnipeg Wesmen. After playing at Alberta on Sept. 15 and Saskatchewan on Sept. 16,
UNBC opens its home schedule with a Trinity Western doubleheader on Sept. 22 and 23. They’re back at home the following weekend to host Calgary on Sept. 29 and Lethbridge on Sept. 30. The Timberwolves’ final home weekend on Oct. 13 and 14 sees them host the Cascades in a two-game set. The Timberwolves will also play a road doubleheader against UBC on Oct. 6 and 7, and at Mount Royal on Oct. 20 and Winnipeg on Oct. 21. “It is a tough schedule,” Alderson says. “At the same time though, it’s Canada West and Canada West is an incredibly tough division.” Moving a men’s soccer squad from the college level to the university ranks isn’t unfamiliar territory to Alderson. He guided Trinity Western from 1999 to 2009, a period which included the program’s successful entry into CIS from the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association in 2001. Alderson knows this is a different situation, and he’s in a smaller, more isolated community. He eventually turned the Spartans into a CIS powerhouse and hopes to do the same at UNBC. Alderson, who’s also lined up a pre-season game for UNBC at Victoria on Aug. 23, expects the difference will be noticeable. “Then the trick will be to see how much of that gap we can close in one fall, as we get used to Canada West,” he says. “Then, of course, the longer-term goal is to be a perennial contender to win trophies.”

Cougars look to Finland for goalie
ALISTAIR MCINNIS sports@pgfreepress.com
The Prince George Cougars used their top choice in this year’s Canadian Hockey League Import Draft to select a goalie. The Cats picked Finnish netminder Joonas Korpisalo with the fifth overall selection on June 27. Korpisalo is a 1994-born product of Pori, Finland who’s listed at 6-foot-2 and 172 pounds. He was selected by the Columbus Blue Jackets in the third round, 62nd overall, in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft on Saturday in Pittsburgh. In the 2011-12 cam-
paign, Korpisalo recorded four shutouts, a 2.04 goals against average and .920 save percentage in 38 games for the Jokerit, Helsinki junior team. He added a 1.77 goals against average and .926 goals against average in four playoff games. Korpisalo also represented Finland at the 2011 World Under-18 Championship, where he posted a 3.02 goals against average and .902 save percentage in six games. “He’s a highly rated goalie,” Cougars general manager Dallas Thompson said the same day. “He played in front of a
pretty good team last year and put up some very good numbers and very good at the Under-18s.” Thompson didn’t talk to Korpisalo before Wednesday’s draft. But he’d been in contact with the Blue Jackets, and was hopeful Korpisalo would report to the Cougars later this summer. He was planning to get in touch with the goalie’s agent. “But we had the fifth pick and we had five names there and certainly we were going to pick one of those names, and it just happened to be Joonas and we’re happy to get him,” Thompson said.

“I think the recruiting process starts here now and hopefully by the time training camp goes around, we can make sure he’s coming over.” With their second
and only other selection in the draft, the Cougars picked 1994born defenceman Rinald Rosinskis of Latvia. A towering blue liner, Rosinskis stands 6-foot-5 and weighs
198 pounds. In 30 games last season, Rosinskis recorded one goal and nine assists with HK Juniors Riga in Latvia. He also collected 34 penalty minutes. Through

five playoff games, he recorded two assists and six penalty minutes. Rosinskis was a member of the Latvian U-18 World Championship team, and recorded 18 penalty minutes in six games in the tournament. “We feel that he’ll be over for sure and he’ll be able to help us,” Thompson said. “Obviously with our back end, we got some very big young guys that are going to need a little bit of time here. But he’s a guy that played against some of the top guys in the Under-18s and we think that he should be able to step into our top four and play here and obviously bring some size which we’ve lacked in the past.” With the first overall choice, the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League’s Moncton Wildcats selected Ivan Barbaschev of Moscow, Russia. Barbaschev was the captain and first-line centre of the Under-17 Russian National Team. Since the 1995-born forward has a late birthday (Dec. 14), he’ll be available for the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, allowing two years of development in the CHL. Korpisalo was the second goalie taken in the draft. The Erie Otters of the Ontario Hockey League used the third overall pick to select 1994-born Swedish netminder Oscar Dansk.
