COACH GETS YEAR IN JAIL FOR SEX CRIMES By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Calling it a breach of trust, a B.C. Supreme Court justice has sentenced to a year in jail a minor hockey coach who engaged in a sexual relationship with one of her players. Justice Hope Hyslop sentenced Heidi Ferber, 43, to one year on each count of sexual interference of a person under 16 and sexual exploitation. The sentence, which was handed down on Wednesday, April 2, will be served concurrently. Ferber will also be

on probation for 18 months, during which time she cannot be in the presence of anyone under the age of 16 or be within 100 metres of her victim, Chanelle Petrie. Hyslop exceeded the sentencing position of the Crown, which asked for jail in the range of six to nine months. Defence lawyer Michelle Stanford argued for a 90-day sentence to be served on weekends up to six months in jail. “Ms. Ferber took advantage of her [Petrie] for her own sexual purposes,” Hyslop said. “It was a position of trust.”

Victim Chanelle Petrie, now 18, came to Kamloops from her home in Calgary to witness the sentencing of her former hockey coach. Heidi Ferber was sent to jail for 12 months after being convicted of sexual interference of a person under 16 and sexual exploitation. Dave Eagles/KTW

Hyslop said while she believes Ferber is remorseful today, the coach knew what she was doing between fall 2010 and late 2011 was wrong. She engaged in multiple sexual encounters with Petrie in that period, including on team road trips. “Ms. Ferber knew the behaviour was against the law,” Hyslop said. “She told Ms. Petrie not to tell anyone . . . She encouraged her to be secretive and deleted text messages.” Crown prosecutor Don Mann argued before sentencing for the hearing to be re-opened, saying he wanted to call a witness who would testify to what he called an “inappropriate” relationship between Ferber and a

HEIDI FERBER former student. Ferber no longer teaches. That relationship was not criminal, however, and Hyslop declined to re-open the hearing and listen to testimony. In her victim-impact statement, Petrie said the actions four years ago make it “impossible ever to seem like a kid again.” Hyslop earlier agreed to lift a publication ban on Petrie’s

name after Kamloops This Week made a successful application based on Petrie’s desire to go public. “I was young and had a relationship of someone in their 20s,” she told reporters outside the courthouse. “It made me grow up a lot faster than my age was at the time. It definitely took away my kid years.” Ferber made a tearful apology prior to the sentencing, often stopping to collect herself. “To Ms. Petrie, I know I made wrong decisions and choices,” she said in court. “I know this hurt her and I’m sorry for that . . . I made some huge mistakes I can’t change. There’s ripples that will go on for a long time.” X See FERBER A7

Daughter of woman killed by driver says he should go to jail By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Crown wants to jail a Kamloops man who has never in his life held a valid driver’s licence but has been busted behind the wheel five times in the last three years — including after he struck and killed a pedestrian in a downtown crosswalk in 2012. Donald Charles Isadore, 63, was convicted in Kamloops provincial court on Tuesday, April 1, of one count of failing to yield to a pedestrian stemming from the Nov. 21, 2012, death of Valerie Brook. Brook, 66, was walking across a Victoria Street crosswalk at Sixth Avenue on a green light while Isadore was turning left from Sixth onto Victoria. A police officer testified her body was thrown between

6.9 metres and 9.5 metres after being struck, and there was no evidence of Isadore having applied the brakes in his vehicle prior to the collision. Brook’s family filled half the courtroom as Kamloops provincial court Judge Stella Frame read her verdict. Loralie Loewen, Brook’s youngest daughter, said she wasn’t surprised to hear Isadore was guilty. “It would be pretty disgusting if he wasn’t found guilty, but it doesn’t help the situation, really,” she told KTW outside court. “I think we’re all still so blown away that we’re not going to get any closure. “It’s one of those terribly unbelievable things you wish would never happen to anybody you know.” The Crown has not indicated how long a jail term it will seek for Isadore, who has a lengthy record of driving offences despite the fact he’s never been a licenced driver

Expect more.

other than a learner’s permit he held briefly in the 1980s. Less than three weeks before Brook was killed, Isadore was handed a 30-day jail term and fined $500 for a separate driving while prohibited conviction, which also saw him placed on a two-year driving ban. In 2011, he was jailed for 14 days for another driving while prohibited conviction. And, following Frame’s decision this week, he pleaded guilty to two additional driving while disqualified charges stemming from separate incidents in January 2013 — weeks after Brook was killed. Loewen said she thinks Isadore deserves to go to jail. “He should, I guess,” she said. “You do something illegal, get someone killed, then yes.” Lawyers will return to court on April 10 to set a date for sentencing, which will likely take place in June.

Nobel Prize winner speaks today at TRU By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

APRIL ICE AGE Dorothy Woodward (left) and Shirley Sanderson found quite a surprise on their hike in Kenna Cartwright Park above Home Depot on Tuesday, April 1. Shrubs and grasses were frozen in a thick layer of ice. Whether the sudden frozen work of art was due to a malfunctioning sprinkler system or the work of an April Fool’s Day prankster is unknown. What is known is you can see more photos from the interesting ice work online at kamloopsthisweek.com. Dave Eagles/KTW

CITY OF

KAMLOOPS

In Jason Shogren’s home state of Wyoming, the favourite mode of transport for residents who pay no state income tax is the gas-guzzling pickup. In Scandinavia, where Shogren lived for a time as an expert advisor to King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, residents willingly pay high taxes and $2.30 a litre for gasoline in an effort to stop climate change. Those efforts come despite the fact Northern Europe’s sacrifice will have no affect if done alone. “Even Norway, with so many fossil fuels, has been extremely aggressive, whereas the United States and part of Alberta in the oil industry are less aggressive,” said the professor of natural resources and economics, who also advised U.S. president Bill Clinton. “I don’t know how to explain that.” Shogren is now back home, where he is the Stroock professor of naturalresource conservation and management and a professor of economics at the University of Wyoming. He was also a member of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with former U.S. vicepresident Al Gore. Shogren is a guest at Thompson Rivers University today (April 3) and Friday, where he is speaking on the cost of climate change. In an interview with KTW, Shogren said decision-makers in business and government have to decide how to price the cost of climate change, whether in changed food production, natural catastrophes or spread of disease. The cost of doing nothing “is the cost of increased risk, he said. “The big one is agricultural production,” Shogren said. “If we’re really worried about food production and don’t know whether places will get wetter or drier or warm-

COMMUNITY

er or windier, it causes more uncertainty, which could impact our ability to produce food.” At the extreme end of the scale is what he calls the cost of “unravelling our web of biodiversity” and spread of tropical disease and pests into northern climates. That risk will be a greater burden on world’s poor in the future, a timeline and place Shogren acknowledged governments have a hard time prioritizing. “We got rich using carbon. Are we going to going to transfer that wealth to folks in the future?” Shogren asked. “You don’t write them a cheque. You start by curbing your GDP today, transforming from fossil fuels to renewable energy. That means up-front costs today.” Shogren said he is not a scientist, but accepts the weight of science and its prediction of a changing climate with release of carbon into the atmosphere. He argued in favour of this province adopting a carbon tax, something he said most economists would favour as a way of pricing pollution. If the world is to reduce carbon production, he said, it will mean a slowing economy with large investments in green technology, investments that will pay off in the future. The economist said he is not an evangelist preaching doom on climate change. Rather, he is interested in pricing climate change, ways to slow it and ways to adapt, noting that information can be used by business and government. “I’m an advocate for efficiency, just getting the most out of what we can, out of what we’ve got,” Shogren said. Shogren speaks on Who Pays for Climate Change? today (April 3) at 4 p.m. in the room S203 of the Science Building. He is also speaking Friday at 2:30 p.m. in room IB1014 on experiments in environmental economics.

Council opens urban lots to beekeeping By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Backyard bees are free to be in Kamloops. At a public hearing on Tuesday, April 1, city council voted unanimously to allow beehives on urban lots. Previously, beekeeping was restricted to larger, more rural lots and agricultural lands. The hearing packed council chambers, but there was little in the way of debate among the crowd. Instead, councillors heard glowing reports of bee behaviour from many of the city’s practising beekeepers. “Beekeeping is really safe,” said Ian Farber, who keeps bees in Westsyde. “The bees know what they’re doing. They don’t go out and chase after picnic food. All they eat is pollen and nectar.” Farber said it’s unlikely the city will see an uptick in bee stings because of the new rules. noting even large feral colonies

have caused few, if any, problems in the city. David Masurat, president of the Kamloops division of the B.C. Honey Producers’ Association, said the Tournament Capital lags behind most of the province’s cities when it comes to allowing backyard bees — and behind the activities of its residents, as well. “The best honey I have ever tasted, and I mean by far, was from approximately two blocks off of Columbia Street,” Masurat said. North Shore resident Neil Marshall was the only member of the public to voice concerns about the new rules for bees. Marshall said he supports the idea in principle, but said groups such as WildSafe B.C. consider hives an attractant for bears. The city has not included any requirements that would deter bears in the new bylaw language. “I think it’s important to be part of the discussion,”

Marshall said. “We do have interaction with bears in the community.” Other beekeepers said they use electric fencing to keep bears away from their bees. Frank Blom, a honey producer in Barnhartvale, said he’s never had a problem with bears, but added the fencing prevents him from taking a $300-or-more financial hit if a hungry bruin goes looking for honey. Councillors opted not to make fencing a requirement for beekeeping. Coun. Tina Lange believes the expense of building a hive is enough incentive to keep beekeepers bear-smart. “I’m sure you wouldn’t have to have a bear problem more than once,” she said. Only five councillors — Lange, Ken Christian, Pat Wallace, Donovan Cavers and Nelly Dever — made the bee decision. Councillors Arjun Singh and Marg Spina were absent, as was Mayor Peter Milobar.

Despite concerns from one city councillor, Kamloops council won’t be reopening its debate on its supplementary budget items. Nelly Dever told council on Tuesday, April 1, she’s concerned a $725,000 pedestrian upgrade approved for Todd Road is going to waste about $400,000 in city funds. The city is planning to use gas-tax money to build a pedestrian shoulder on the Barnhartvale road to address safety concerns from the neighbourhood. But, according to a report prepared for council’s budget deliberations, much of that shoulder would be torn up in 2019, when Todd Road is due for rehabilitation. Dever said the organizers of a rally on Todd Road last year wrote to council, saying they want to see the project on the books, but don’t need construction to start right away, and asked her council colleagues to consider holding off on the project. “I can’t see any taxpayer wanting to lose $400,000 and have the neighbourhood uprooted twice,” she said. But, other councillors believe safety concerns on Todd Road justify an extra outlay of cash.

“I don’t necessarily see this as us losing money,” Arjun Singh said. “I see that as a community concern about an issue, that they have two years, three years of road safety in Barnhartvale.” Singh said he also has concerns about some of the decisions council made during its rapid-fire budget meeting last week, where only two of the projects on this year’s multi-million dollar supplemental item list were voted down. “But I’m going to stand behind them because we made them as a council,” he said. “I’m not going to say anything about a bear.” The bear in question is a Kermode at the city-owned B.C. Wildlife Park. Council is spending $250,000 of its gambling revenue to build it an enclosure. Pat Wallace and Tina Lange also said they think speed trumps cost. City CAO David Trawin said now that council wants Todd Road worked on earlier, staff are going to try to push forward the rehabilitation work as well to avoid wasting money. Because design work had not been completed for the project when council approved it, it’s unlikely work could begin before 2015.

$128-million budget for SD73 By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops-Thompson board of education held its first public meeting on Monday, March 31, to discuss its 2014-2015 operating budget, which is set at $128.3 million. While the board met with union representatives representing teachers and staff, the district parentadvisory council and the parentadvisory and school planning councils before the 7 p.m. public meeting, there were no residents at the public meeting. In fact, the only parent to ask questions was a Clearwater resident who did so via videolink. Supt. Terry Sullivan said the proposed budget includes some staff reductions, but he knows staff will be added in September. He said it has been board practice to be conservative in estimating the number of teachers and certified education assistants who will be needed. Sullivan said the public “know what our challenges are.” The proposed budget is based on numbers provided on Feb. 15

OVER 150 DISPLAYS!

and revenues are projected based on that figure. Enrolment projections include 20 more kindergarten students than last year, 17 more students in elementary grades and a decrease of 280 students in secondary schools. The proposed budget shows revenue at $127.5 million. Expenses are $128.3 million, but the board is taking $1.2 million from its operating reserve and another $54,037 from its First Nations reserve to ensure the budget is balanced, as required by provincial legislation. However, Kelvin Stretch, the school district’s secretary-treasurer, said he is hoping when budget adjustments are made in the fall by the provincial government, based on the actual number of students who are enrolled, there will be enough money the reserves don’t have to be used. Stretch presented a series of graphs with comparative figures. For example, since 1997, when amalgamation created the larger school district, student enrolment was 17,767. It is budgeted to be 13,693 in 2015. The number of staff in that time

frame decreased to 1,343 from 1,563. Teaching staff decreased to 738 from 918, while the number of principals and vice-principals dropped to 71 from 79. There are 29 fewer support staff than the 540 employed in 1997 and just two fewer than the 26 exempt staff that year. Stretch compared administrative costs with six other districts — Delta, North Vancouver, Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows, Prince George, Nanaimo-Ladysmith and Chilliwack. The seven-district average expense is $5.2 million, while Kamloops-Thompson’s is $4 million. Administrative costs of $4 million are below the six-community average of $5.2 million. Only the Chilliwack district’s costs were lower, at $3.8 million. The same comparative base showed the average salary costs for the principal/vice-principal group totalled $6.6 million among the seven districts, while KamloopsThompson came in at $6.9 million. Class sizes are close to the seven-district average.

Farmers’ market set to expand in various ways By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

As it gears up for 2014, the Kamloops Regional Farmers’ Market Society is making a play for the city’s night owls and snooze-button aficionados. Starting this year, the Saturday market at Stuart Wood elementary will run a half-hour longer, beginning at 8 a.m. and ending at 12:30 p.m. each week. Farmers’ market society president Ed Basile said the aim is to add two more hours to the

Saturday market over the next few years. “Some young people just don’t get mobile until 11 a.m.,” he said. “If they’re not awake or [the market] is not available because it’s closed already, they’re not going to go.” Basile said the market is particularly interested in attracting more 25- to 45-year-old women this year. Besides the time extension, the society is also planning an onsite ATM and to offer a carry-

out service between the market and the Seymour Street parkade, which is free on weekends. “The average person spends $36 at the farmers’ market,” Basile said. “So, when you make that kind of purchase, it gets awkward carrying that much stuff.” A different sort of expansion is in store for the Wednesday market. While the mid-week market has occupied the south side of Victoria Street’s 400-block in past years, Basile said it’s a tight fit.

“We have dozens of applications of vendors wanting to vend on Wednesdays, but the space is very limited,” he said. “Right now, we’re looking at 22, but we’d prefer to have up to 40.” Starting this year, the market is planning to move to what Basile calls a circular format, with additional vendors on the north side of the street, between Hello Toast and the Fifth Avenue intersection. Both markets will also likely see more food options this year.

Basile said the city’s plans to have food trucks at St. Andrews on the Square and in front of the downtown library at Victoria and Fifth will act as “natural extensions” of the market. He’s hoping to see trucks parked in the spots during market hours and thinks it will encourage people to spend more time downtown, even after the vendors wrap up and head home. This year’s first Saturday market is on April 19. The Wednesday markets begin on May 7.

“Selling Student 1st. chocolates has really helped me come out of my shell and meet new people, and has also helped to improve my communication and money counting skills. If I were to win this laptop I would use it mainly for my online course im taking, essays, and research projects. I havent got a computer, so the closest one to us is at the library, and since we dont have a car i have to walk 40 minutes to an hour. Im currently saving my money from this to visit my family in Ontario for the summer, which I havent seen in 2 years, since we move A LOT.

Ferber to be added to sex-offender registry X From A1

As part of Ferber’s sentence, the former competitive hockey player and coach will be listed in the federal sex-offender registry for 20 years. The relationship started when Ferber agreed to coach Petrie’s Kamloops Minor Hockey Association girls’ bantam Hellcats team in the fall of 2010. Petrie looked up to her and was excited the veteran player believed in her. The two discussed school, hockey and, eventually, sexuality. They began to socialize, but Ferber warned Petrie not to tell her parents about their budding relationship, Hyslop said.

The pair kissed about a month-and-ahalf after meeting. By November 2010, Ferber was making sexual advances on Petrie. During the season and into mid-2011, the two had what prosecutor Mann characterized as “countless sexual encounters.” Those included trysts on hockey road trips, when Petrie and her teammates would ask their parents to room with Ferber. Hyslop said Petrie’s parents treated Ferber as part of the family. The two stopped the relationship in July 2011, but remained acquainted and had one more sexual encounter in November 2011.

Petrie wrote a poem that contained suicidal references that year. Early in 2012, she reported the incidents to her mother and the two went to Kamloops RCMP. Defence lawyer Stanford characterized Ferber as an emotionally unstable and previously closeted gay woman who suffered from concussions and epilepsy that clouded her judgement. A pre-sentence report found Ferber has little remorse and blames Petrie. Petrie played this season on Southern Alberta Institute of Technology’s women’s hockey team, but said repeat concussions mean that marks the end of her career.

Heidi Ferber enters the Kamloops Law Courts on Wednesday, April 2, where she was sent to prison for a year after being convicted on sexual-related charges. Dave Eagles/KTW

She now lives in Calgary, where she is studying to be a social worker.

Her case brought national attention, including from former NHLer Theoren Fleury, who was sexual victimized as a teen by coach Graham James. Petrie called Fleury an inspiration. “Everyone’s been so supportive,” she said. “People came forward. I’ve helped people come forward.”

In the job market, the more things change . . .

N 1991, THE TOP THREE occupations held by young women with a university degree were registered nurse and elementary and secondary teacher. Twenty years later, the top three occupations held by young women with a university degree were registered nurse and teacher. Take a look at men with the same qualifications and the top three occupations in both years were computer programmers and interactive media developers, auditors and accountants and secondary-school teachers. Read a bit deeper into two new Statistics Canada reports and you’ll discover there haven’t been many changes in job choices for men and women who didn’t go on to postsecondary education — it was salesperson, early-childhood educator and office clerk for women; retail salesperson, carpenter and truck driver for men. The study used data from the 1991 census and the 2011 national housing survey to come up with the occupation profiles. What has this shown us? Well, for one thing, all those stories we in the media have done about women breaking into new industries, new jobs and new skills doesn’t appear to have made much impact on society. Our young people seem destined to follow the traditional job-choice template no matter how much we promote new industries, new technologies and new opportunities. To be fair, however, the number of

DALE BASS Street LEVEL women in the workforce has grown over the two-decade period. The study shows, for example, the percentage of women now working in health-policy research and consultation has grown to 76 per cent from 47 per cent. Human-resources departments now have about 78 per cent women, up from 57 per cent, while the number of women family doctors and general practitioners has risen to 62 per cent from 43 per cent. The percentage of women who have gone into policing has grown to 24 per cent from 13 per cent but, there are fewer female cooks now, with the study finding that job classification is 33 per cent female, down from 50 per cent in 1991. If there’s some good news, it is that at least there are more women now working in other specialized areas. The study shows there continues to be, however, more men than women working if they do not have a university degree. For those who complete post-secondary school, the distribution is more balanced.

The lesson here appears to be the value of getting a university degree — but that’s when another reality comes into the study. Simply put, at least 18 per cent of those graduates are working in jobs for which they are overqualified, another number that has remained stable over the time period studied. And that comes in the face of the simple reality there are more people graduating from universities now than there were in 1991. In fact, during the same twodecade period, the study said, “The educational attainment of Canadians, and especially Canadian women, rose significantly. These changes, however, did not necessarily lead to systematic changes in the occupational profile of men and women.” Nope, they’re coming out as teachers and nurses. They’re entering a working world that is supposed to be more diverse and filled with more opportunity, but a significant number aren’t being hired into jobs they thought they would get with that degree in hand. The researchers determined you were most likely going to be working in a job for which you were overqualified if you live in Manitoba and British Columbia, less like if you live in Ontario or Quebec. What does that tell you? It’s a good question to ask your MLA the next time you see him or her. Just how is that jobs-first mantra they keep repeating at every photo op working out in our province? dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Cursive handwriting could soon disappear from public schools. The provincial government is considering removing that skill from the mandatory teaching curriculum, as many school districts have already done across the U.S. It is seen as unnecessary in today’s ever-more technological world, a roadblock in the course of a teacher’s packed day. More and more elementary students submit computer printouts of essays and assignments. Those just a few years older simply put them in online drop boxes that teachers can access. Those in high school and college take notes on laptops and tablets. Anyway, how many kids write letters to their grandparents anymore? They can communicate instantly on Facebook, or through Skype. Computer and typing skills have replaced penmanship. Cursive writing is becoming obsolete. Since 2010, 45 states have deemed teaching cursive no longer mandatory and it is being taught less in Ontario. It’s up to teachers if they want to make the time to teach it. Some may argue that since many historical documents are written in cursive, future students will need to know how to read them. Others will suggest neater hand-writing leads to better grades, in reading and math. And more will ask how, when kids grow up, will they sign cheques? Medical forms? Autographs? Schools still teach block print. Yes, cursive writing is disappearing from the communication landscape. Going forward, keyboard skills will be more important, and even those may one day prove dated. Still, we must fully consider what it is we will be losing when we stop teaching kids cursive writing.

THIS WEEK Speak up You can comment on any story you read @ kamloopsthisweek.com

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online

Re: Story: Harcourt no longer member of NDP: “Certainly a tough battle for the NDP, one in which they need the green vote to get the numbers they need. “At the same time, they need to keep their unionized labour faction happy by keeping them working and creating new jobs, most of which involve natural resources with environmental impact. “This is also a battle between Lower Mainland voters, who have no idea how the economy of the province works and are happy with the idea of saving all of the Interior from resource extraction, and the rest of us in the other 99 per cent of the province, who realize how important those industries are to the economy and wellbeing of the province.” — posted by Grun-py

Ajax brochure focuses on selective information Editor: I find it very difficult to trust anything KGHM Ajax reports when it chooses only part of the information and omits the other related data from what it calls a “conversation.” On page 13 of the recent Ajax brochure mailed to homes: “To control dust, our ore stockpile will be covered.” While covering the stockpile may control dust, it is in the financial best interests of the operation to cover the ore stockpile. The ore stockpile is the product that will be sold — the money-making part of the operation. It would make sense to cover the ore stockpile to keep the product from blowing away. If controlling dust is a focus for Ajax, why has the company not made reference to any of the other significant processes that will create dust in Kamloops? There is no mention of controlling the dust of the tailings pile that will grow to a

size of one-kilometre-by-three-kilometresby-15-metres in height, nor the north waste-rock pile that will grow to a size of two-kilomeetres-by-1.8-kilometres-by-90metres, nor the east waste-rock pile that will grow to a size of 1.8-kilometres-by1.2-kilometres-by-90-metres. That would be left for the closest neighbours, the 90,000 people of the Kamloops area, to experience. The ore stockpile will be shipped out. The tailings pile and waste-rock piles would be left on our doorstep forever. And what about the fugitive dust from up to 53 large haul trucks? The graph on page 14 of Ajax’s brochure shows levels of respirable particulate matter (PM 2.5) for Kamloops Brocklehurst. A May 12, 2011, report titled Kamloops Advisory Committee Workshop, authored by Ralph Adams of the B.C. Ministry of the Environment, includes a graph of six monitors for PM 2.5 and

Brocklehurst reports the lowest. Why did KGHM show only the area reporting the lowest PM2.5? This online link — kamloops.ca/ environment/pdfs/aq_in_kamloops_ralph_ adams.pdf — shows the annual average PM 2.5 is far higher in four other monitored areas of Kamloops. Downtown Kamloops reported the highest annual average at eight, compared to Brock at five. Also stated in the Ministry of Environment report: “There is no safe level of PM 2.5.” If the annual PM 2.5 average in my area is already eight, there is no room to increase PM 2.5 as would happen with a huge open-pit operation. It seems to me KGHM had cherrypicked bits of information and omitted other related data when it published its Ajax brochure. M.K. Claydon Kamloops

Stop Bill C-18 and preserve our right to non-modiﬁed foods Editor: This is a copy of an email we have sent to our KamloopsThompson-Cariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod: We are opposed to multinational companies having greater power and control over Canada’s seed industry. Canada must

recognize the inherent rights of farmers — derived from thousands of years of custom and tradition — to save, re-use, select, exchange and sell seeds. Please refrain from making any changes to the Seeds Act or to the Plant Breeders’ Rights Act that would further restrict

farmers’ rights. This is our food we are talking about. We do not buy any products that are genetically modified and we have the right to have access to nongenetically modified foods. Bill C-18 becoming legislation would violate our right to natural, non-modified

foods as it would make genetically modified seeds the standard for agriculture in Canada and eliminate the possibility of challenging the dominance of industrial agriculture in court. Anyone wishing to express their opposition to Bill C-18 can do so by emailing

their local MP. MPs email addresses are listed on the Parliament of Canada website at parl.gc.ca/default. aspx?Language=E.

Dogs are lovely — when leashed and not making mess Editor: I love dogs. But, I don’t much care for owners who do not leash their pets and do not clean up the mess their dogs make. Residents who live in the area and frequently walk through Pioneer Park and on the Rivers Trail confront joyful dogs bouncing around and often nearly running down pedestrians in their exuberance. The other day, two bylaws officers were on the trail — a

very unusual sight — and I voiced my concern to them, suggesting signs need to be placed at the entrance to the park, where the poop-bag dispensers are, and not three-quarters down the parking lot and at the beach. They did not agree with me because, they said, from experience, people disregard them anyway. I often ask dog owners if they know the park is an on-leash park on the grass area. Some say they didn’t know

and others say they do know, but keep an eye out for bylaws officers. Happy dogs of all sizes run around while their owners chat over their coffee cups and don’t see where their dogs leave their “visiting cards.” A friend who is house- and dog-sitting was told by the owner to take the dog to Pioneer Park so it can have a good daily run. There is something wrong with this image.

What is the point of having bylaws if they cannot be enforced on a regular basis? It would seem bylaw control would pay for itself until dog owners get the idea. As soon as the weather warms up, lovely Pioneer Park will be packed with sunbathers and picnickers. What an unpleasant eyeopener when they try to find a spot for their blankets. G. Rose Kamloops

Students will be Heavy Metal Rocking today Twenty-six students from the KamloopsThompson school district are getting a little on-the-job training this week as part of the district’s sixth annual Heavy Metal Rocks program. The four-day program — which begins today (April 3) at the Tk’emlups Indian Band gravel pit — gives Grade 11 and 12 students a chance to

LOCAL NEWS explore career choices in the heavy-equipment and construction industry. Students completing the program earn a variety of qualifications, including WorkSafe BC training, a construction-

safety certificate, occupational first-aid certification and basic WHMIS training. NorKam secondary vice-principal Ron Collins said the program had more than 40 applicants for the 26 spots this year.

Peterson Creek trails to be closed Portions of the Peterson Creek trail system will be closed

beginning next week. From April 7 to May 2, part of the trail system in the downtown park will be off-limits as city crews work to repair a damaged storm sewer pipe and the subsequent erosion that occurred. The Escape Trail and a segment of the Tom Moore Trail, where it meets the Escape Trail, will be closed for the duration of construction.

The Tom Moore Trail segment will prevent park users from travelling through the corridor. Park users wishing to connect to the Tom Moore Trail through the construction area should use FHA Collins and Chancellor Dr trailheads.

Pink Ribbon gives back to RIH TIME By Jessica Wallace STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

When Anthony Salituro found out his aunt had breast cancer, he was studying events and conventions management at Thompson Rivers University — and he wanted to help. The Kamloops man approached his aunt, Jospehine Bruno, with the idea to raise money for breast-cancer research, putting together a premier fundraising event in the Tournament Capital. Together, the two of them rallied friends and family to host the first Pink Ribbon Ball for about 140 guests at the Colombo Lodge in 1998. After 16 years, they held their final event last September. This time, it was held at Interior Savings Centre, where they could accommodate a growing wait list from over the years, with more than 600 attendees. “Everybody knows somebody who has breast cancer,” Salituro said. Salituro said the event grew “almost too big to handle,” being that the family hosted it without the backing a corporate event would typically carry. The formal fundraising event raised over $600,000 for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation B.C. Yukon Branch for research and $125,000 to Royal Inland Hospital Foundation for diagnostic imaging. Typically, money raised from the event was donated to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation for research, but funds from the final event were donated to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation’s

Breast Health Initiative, so the funds would stay in the community. “We made a decision to give a gift back to Kamloops,” Salituro said. Salituro and Bruno were thanked by the foundations at a cheque presentation held at Royal Inland Hospital on Wednesday, April 2. The chief of radiology for diagnostic imagery spoke to the need in the hospital. “In Kamloops, we see well over 100 new diagnosis [per year],” Dr. Robert Colistro said. He wants to decrease wait times between breast cancer detection and diagnosis. Breast-cancer patients go between family doctors and the hospital multiple times before being able to confirm they have the disease — a process that takes weeks between wait lists and appointments. “The best protection is early detection,” Colistro said. “Our goal would be a one-stop shop.” Royal Inland Foundation CEO Heidi Coleman said there’s a demand for another fundraiser to fill in for the Pink Ribbon Ball. Salituro hinted, however, a different event may be in the works but would not say what kind of event or when it could happen. “Maybe it’s just a break,” he said.

Now, that’s not university

TRU set to dump $100,000 slogan for a new brand Stories by Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

When Thompson Rivers University introduced its new brand in 2006, at least one of the members of the committee charged with the project were unimpressed. The new tagline was “Now, that’s university.” It was chosen to replace the “University with a difference” brand of the University College of the Cariboo, the name of the institution before it became a full university. Tria Donaldson, then a TRU marketing student and a representative to the branding committee, said at the time the name just didn’t work for her. It failed, in her view, to to encompass all she saw as defining TRU — from the beauty of its campus to all the options it could offer to students. The university is about to embark on a new branding project, one its marketing

and communications assistant vice-president, Lucille Gnanasihamany, is confident will capture what the institution is, has and can be. The 2006 tagline was recommended by Victoria-based Trapeze Communications — the same company that developed the city’s Tournament Capital slogan and logos — after a year of research. The company was paid $100,000 to do the work. This time, Gnanasihamany said, every possible university partner will be asked for input. “If we develop a brand that comes from inside out, I think it can be longlasting,” she said. Volunteers are being sought for a 14-person committee to oversee the yearlong project, which is to begin on May 1. She said no budget has been allocated to the project because budgets are still being finalized throughout the university. “But, even if we didn’t spend one tin

dime, the consultation we are going to be doing is more important,” Gnanasihamany said. The goal is to engage current and past students, parents and the community at large, as well as the internal groups of staff, faculty and administrators at TRU. She said a variety of media will be used, from online to focus groups to individual interviews. If more than 14 volunteers from within and outside the university volunteer, those not chosen for the main committee will have the option to join core focus groups. “The name of the game is we want to hear from everybody,” Gnanasihamany said. Those interested in being on the committee can email branding@tru.ca. Students need to indicate their program band year, faculty need to note their area of specialty, while others need to highlight their connection to Kamloops. All applicants must give a brief explanation on why they want to take part.

‘The best brands need to be distinct, meaningful, credible’ What’s in a name? Lucille Gnanasihamany is hoping it’s something that is distinctive, meaningful and clearly identifies Thompson Rivers University as unique among post-secondary institutions. The TRU assistant vice-president for marketing and communications said the goal in a rebranding project — the fourth for the institution since it was known as Cariboo College and the second in less than a decade — will be asked to gather all the information from within and without the university “that sets us aside from the other institutions.” For example, TRU president Alan Shaver often refers to TRU as “Canada’s truly modern university,” but the four words alone need clarification. Gnanasihamany said she was on the committee that came up with the modern-university concept and she thinks it

means redefining the accepted definition of one. The definition may be “subtle, but significant,” she said. For example, she said, many universities focus on trades or research, but see the ideas as mutually exclusive. “TRU doesn’t believe that,” she said, noting the school has an active research component to its trades and technology school. Some universities promote their undergraduate research opportunities. “But, if you dig down deep, you discover it’s just fourthyear students,” Gnanasihamany said, adding that, at TRU, undergraduate research can begin in the second year. “I have no idea where the branding will go. It will come from all the discussions we have,” she said. “The best brands need to be distinct, they need to be meaningful and they need to be credible.”

GIVE US YOUR BEST BRAND In 2006, the slogan, “Now, that’s university” cost $100,000. At $33,000 per word, we assume the comma was tossed in for free. Can you do better? Email us your preferred slogan for TRU. Send to editor@kamloopsthisweek.com.

Controversial grizzly hunt opens By Dene Moore CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER â€” British Columbiaâ€™s controversial spring grizzly-bear hunt opened on Tuesday, April, 1, with one of the highest number of hunting authorizations issued in decades. Based on government counts that showed stabilization of specific grizzly populations previously closed due to overhunting, the government reopened several areas to hunting this year. An estimated 1,800 authorizations will be issued, up from about 1,700 last year, but lower than the 1,980 issued in 2011. â€œI think we have the best idea [of the population] of any of the jurisdictions that hunt bears right now,â€™â€™ said Garth Mowat, a provincial government grizzly-bear biologist in the Kootenay region. â€œWe have spent a lot of resources improving our understanding of the number of bears in British Columbia and Iâ€™m quite comfortable that itâ€™s good enough to allow us to conservatively manage the hunt.â€™â€™ The spring grizzly hunt runs from April 1 to the end of May. The fall hunt begins on Oct. 1 and continues into mid-November. Though 1,800 hunting authorizations will be issued, so far this year 1,459 licences have been issued via a lottery system. In 2011, 1,733 licences were issued of the 1,980 authorizations. On average, about 300 grizzlies are killed annually. The most recent year for which information is publicly available is 2009, when between 350 and 400 bears were shot. Provincial biologists estimate there are approximately 15,000

grizzly bears in the province, which is home to about a quarter of the remaining North American population. Only Alaska has more grizzlies. Biologist Paul Paquet of the Raincoast Foundation said itâ€™s extremely difficult to get a proper count of grizzly bears and there could be far fewer â€” too few to risk a trophy hunt. â€œThe real numbers could be somewhere as low as 6,000 or as high as 18,000. We just donâ€™t know,â€™â€™ Paquet said. But, the bigger question is the moral one, he said. â€œIs this ethical, to be hunting bears? Thatâ€™s really whatâ€™s at issue,â€™â€™ Paquet said. â€œThis is a trophy hunt as opposed to a hunt for food.â€™â€™ Mowat agrees the real issue is a question of moral support for the hunt. â€œThe debate about whether an individual morally supports a bear hunt and the debate about the sustainability of the hunt get woven together,â€™â€™ he said. He does not believe there are conservation concerns. In fact, he said, after 30 years of provincial management, grizzlies are repopulating areas where they had been wiped out. Sows with cubs have been spotted moving west from the Kootenay mountains into the Okanagan and Similkameen regions.

Conservation has been a concern.

Grizzlies are largely extinct south of the Canada-U.S. border. The Alberta government suspended its grizzly hunt in 2006 and declared the bears a threatened species in 2010. But, in Alaska, there are 30,000 brown and grizzly bears, which are classed as

the same species. The state fish and game department said about 1,900 grizzlies were harvested in 2007. Kyle Artelle, a biologist at Simon Fraser University and Raincoast, said the foundationâ€™s own study found the provincialgovernment quotas are not conservative and overkills are common. â€œThereâ€™s a huge amount of uncertainty,â€™â€™ Artelle said. Nine coastal First Nations have declared bans on bear hunting in their traditional territories. The Wuikinuxv, Heiltsuk, Kitasoo/Xaiâ€™xais, Nuxalk, Gitgaâ€™at, Metlakatla, Old Massett, Skidegate and the Council of the Haida Nation say hunting is not allowed in the areas that largely cover the Great Bear Rainforest, though the ban is not recognized by the province. In 2005, Raincoast began buying out commercial bear-hunting licences in B.C. The group now owns the guide outfitting rights to more than 28,000 square kilometres of land in the Great Bear Rainforest on the north-central coast. While the white spirit bears that call the region home cannot be hunted, the black bears that carry the recessive gene that produces them can be, said Rainforest executive director Chris Genovali. The hunt is not necessary to manage a surging population, he said, and a recent study from Stanford University found that bear viewing contributes 10 times as much revenue and employment as hunting. â€œThe ethical argument is clear â€” killing for sport and amusement is unacceptable and, a lot of people would say, just outright immoral,â€™â€™ Genovali said.

SOWING HER WILD OATS I N MY RECURRING nightmare, I’m standing over a garbage can in a restaurant-service area, scraping English muffin rinds and congealed Hollandaise sauce onto a heap of pancake and waffle scraps. Back on the farm, this would have been the slop pail and would mean the pigs were later going to have a feast. Here, however, at this particular pancake house, it’ll be up to one of the dishwashers to haul the bag out back, while I get to business cleaning spilled syrup from booth No. 4, where a family with five children spent the morning mashing French Toast into the upholstery. Sure, this time it’s just a dream. But, back in the day, six o’clock in the morning was when my Sunday breakfast shifts would start. It was the summer before my second year of college. I was engaged to be married and I didn’t know what I wanted to do with my life, other than I wanted to write, which, as far as I’d been told, was as ridiculous an aspiration as wanting to open a muffin shop on the moon. For the year that followed, I studied English literature, then dropped out of school and worked to put my husband through cooking school in a different province, while writing long, homesick letters that kept my friends and family in commiserative stitches. Tonight, however, as I dip in and out of sleep, it’s just me and the pancake scraps. Me and the syrup spills. Me and the first boss I’d ever know whose management style was to treat all of her staff like the enemy. She was a person who caused the staff to spend most of their energies ducking flying mon-

Bon APPÉTIT keys and easily made eight to 10 hours a day feel like being cut into bite-sized pieces and rolled in salt. Next came the printing house and a manager who stopped at my desk twice daily, set a 12th cup of coffee down — having three times emptied the pot I was responsible for keeping full between keeping 10 phone lines from blinking — and asked if I was aware I’d become much stupider since the day before. Then the temp job, where I showed up to find the entire back wall of the warehouse covered in pictures of topless women, where I felt more like a pudding cup than someone there to execute a task. I’m betting, however, when I lodged a complaint and refused to go back, that it was difficult for that company to get someone else to come in and alphabetize their invoices. At least, I hope it was difficult. At the very least, it makes me grateful that, for the most part, I get to work alone. Or, that when I’ve worked in collaboration, it’s been a good combination of personalities. I don’t dream of the pancake house very often any more and, ever since it burned down and

Fresh • Local • Sustainable •

was replaced by a bank, I think of it even less. How did the fire start? Who knows? I suppose either enough sausage grease finally accumulated in the vent hood and caused that day’s catastrophic inferno — or someone who had worked there too long finally lost their mind and found a match. It doesn’t really matter what the forensic findings were, only that there are better places in town to get breakfast. Now, when it comes to breakfast — whether it’s pancakes,

waffles, French toast or my sister’s favourite recipe for overnight crock-pot oatmeal using steel-cut oats — I’m usually happiest to stay and make them all at home.

Lightly butter the inside of your slow cooker. Add all ingredients, then stir, cover and cook on low for approximately seven hours. Spoon oatmeal into cereal bowls and serve with milk. Refrigerate leftovers. It freezes well. To reheat single servings: Into a microwave-proof bowl, add one cup of the cooked oatmeal along with one-third cup of milk. Microwave on high for one minute. Stir. Continue cooking for another minute or until hot. Serve with more milk.

Baby Henry’s battle continues By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

In January, KTW published a feature called Baby Henry’s Battle, which chronicled the Brown family’s medical journey with newborn Henry, who was born with a rare heart defect. Today, we offer an update. The original story can be read online at kamloopsthisweek.com. Doctors at B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver told the Brown family to take their pager and get some fresh air. For the next seven hours, Henry, the Pinantan Lake family’s youngest child, would be undergoing open-heart surgery to fix a hole in the bottom chamber of his heart and transplant a donor pulmonary artery — without which Henry was born — to feed blood to the lungs. The surgery was originally supposed to take place at six or eight months of age but, on March 13, Henry was just a day over four months old. By that point, the Brown family was already two weeks into its latest trip to the Coast, made

urgent when Henry’s blood-oxygen levels sank. Surgery at the end of February to keep a shunt between Henry’s heart and lungs open didn’t fix his oxygen problem, nor did medications. Eventually, doctors elected to move up the date of the open-heart surgery, Henry’s second. His first had come when he was only six days old. After Henry’s surgery began, parents Chris and Miranda did their best to follow the doctors’ advice by taking their other eight children, including Henry’s twin brother Seamus, out for breakfast. The resolve to leave the hospital didn’t last long. “We ended up just shovelling our breakfast down and coming back,” Chris said. “We didn’t stay away for very long. We just kind of sat here and waited.” Moving up the surgical date meant increased risks for the youngest Brown but, when Henry came out of surgery, Chris said he was looking good. “Now, he’s getting more oxygenated blood flowing to his body,” Chris said. “So, where his oxygen-saturation levels were at 75 before, now

he’s sitting at 100 like you or I.” While there were more post-op appointments scheduled, Chris said the family is looking forward to some time together outside of hospital waiting rooms. While Henry’s first four months have been marked by uncertainty, with any doctor’s visit presenting another chance to be sent back to the B.C. Children’s Hospital,

Chris said it looks like the open-heart surgery may add some stability to the Browns’ travel schedule. They should be home for about a month before Henry will require another visit to the doctor. Check-ups will eventually move to once every three months, then once every six months, though Henry could need another open-heart procedure by the time he’s 18 months old, depending on how

quickly he grows. Because the donor artery connecting his heart and lungs isn’t living tissue, he’ll outgrow it a number of times through his childhood. Chris said he, Miranda and the rest of Henry’s siblings are ready for some time at home. Baby Henry Brown is recovering from open-heart surgery at the age of four months.

FAITH

Noah, the Great Flood and Lake Agassiz’s fury USSELL Crowe looks pretty good for a 600-year-old man. That’s how old the Bible says Noah was when the flood came. There are plenty of scoffers who say the biblical flood account is a quaint myth, with no connection to reality. One of the most remarkable things about the flood story is that, without exception, every single group of people on Earth has a flood story in their oral or written histories. That’s interesting. One possible reason for this is there actually was a worldwide flood that occurred within human memory, which affected all the peoples of Earth. Let’s examine if there is any credence to this claim. What do scientists say?

CHRIS KEMPLING You Gotta Have FAITH At the end of the last Ice Age, there was an enormous lake covering much of central North America (North Dakota, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Northeast Ontario and Minnesota) called Lake Agassiz. It was fed by melting glaciers and held in check by an extensive wall of ice on Hudson’s Bay. But, as the world warmed, the ice dam weakened, eventually breaking, resulting in the catastrophic release of an enormous quantity of water. Scientists have pin-

pointed the date of this event to around 8200 years before present (i.e. 6200 B.C.). The sudden release of this quantity of water resulted in a worldwide rise in sea levels estimated to be as high as 2.8 metres (9.6 feet). However, the initial global tsunami would have been much, much higher than that. It would have inundated every sealevel settlement used by human beings at the time. The Mesopotamian plain, thought to be where Noah was residing at the time, is at the head of the Persian Gulf, which is fairly shallow and gradually sloping. It was flat and fertile and only slightly above sea level, ideal for a large agricultural population. Global sea levels 18,000 years ago were approximately 120

metres lower than today and gradually rose to their present level about 7,500 years ago. In Noah’s day, however, much of what is now under water was dry land. One geologist suggests there was a natural silt dam at the Strait of Hormuz, which was breached, perhaps as a result of the “8.2 kilo-year event” — as scientists call the sudden draining of Lake Agassiz. This would have caused a catastrophic flood that permanently submerged communities of the lower Persian Gulf. Another news item caught my eye recently. It was the discovery of a significant quantity of water inside a large Brazilian diamond. The March 12 edition of the Globe and Mail stated: “A pea-sized

diamond picked up a decade ago by a Brazilian prospector has unlocked evidence that, hundreds of kilometres under our feet, Earth’s mantle holds as much water as all of our planet’s oceans. “The discovery by a University of Alberta team bolsters theories about the existence of a water-saturated zone between the Earth’s rocky layers that would explain volcanic activities and the interaction of tectonic plates.” There is something else this discovery “bolsters.” In Genesis, when the Great Flood is described, it says: “In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life . . . all the fountains of the great deep burst open . . . ” I’ve always wondered what “fountains of the great deep” meant. Now I know.

Forty days and nights of rain would not be enough water to cause the kind of flood described in Genesis. Scottish comedian Danny Bhoy has an amusing routine speculating on Noah’s reception in Scotland. “Forty days and nights of rain? Ach, man, we’re already at 53 days!” No, there would have to be another major source of water — the sudden release of subterranean water combined with glacial meltwater would do it. The Great Flood began subsiding after 150 days and “the fountains of the deep and floodgates of the sky were closed.” The sign the flood was definitely over was when a dove released by Noah came back with an olive branch in its beak. The dove, and the

olive branch, are symbols of peace to this day. Then, it was the sign God had made peace with all of creation. One of the beautiful things about the Bible is the parallel symbolism between the Old Testament and New Testament. Humanity was saved by the righteousness of one man, Noah, who came through the waters of the Flood. The symbol of that redemption was a single dove. When Jesus came out of the waters of baptism at the River Jordan, “the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove.” And so began the mission of Christ the Redeemer. Like Noah, his mission was to save mankind from destruction. The big difference? Jesus has a spiritual ark and wants to save everybody.

KATHLEEN JOAN SAUCIER March 30, 1926 - March 29, 2014 A life well lived came to an end for Joan Saucier (nee Butt) of Kamloops and Kelowna BC. Joan passed away peacefully at the Marjorie WilloughbySnowden Hospice in Kamloops at 2:12 p.m. on Saturday, March 29, one day before her 88th birthday, surrounded by all her family. Joan was predeceased by husband Bert who passed away in October 2004 and her brothers Doug and Jack Butt. Mum is lovingly remembered by her four children Laurie (Nejama Ferstman), Alan (Allison Dalgleish), Jill (Alan Sanders) and Kathy (Gary Aldus) and sister Gwen James. Also present at her passing were grandchildren Julie, Erin, James, Carmen, Harrison, Alexander, Paige, Georgia and Caelan, as well as Jim and Heather Bottoms, Steven Clarke and nephew Jack James. Also left to grieve her passing are Pat Scott, Bob James, her niece and nephew. Mum’s passing has left a huge void in all our lives and left us forever changed. Nana wed “Papa” Bert in 1949 in Kelowna BC and after having her four children, moved to Kamloops in 1963 where she quickly became active in the Kamloops community. Nana endeared herself to all she knew through her kindness, good humour, self-sacrifice and caring. Heavily involved in the lives of her four children, she became close to many of their friends and families as well. Nana was instrumental in the success of the family business in Kamloops and did double duty as a mother and office manager for many years. Her greatest satisfaction was participating in the successes of her children and grandchildren and supporting causes which were dear to her heart: animal welfare, the environment and the CBC, among others. Nana touched other people’s lives in so many strange and wonderful ways and will live on in their memories and gratitude. The family has so many to thank for their care of Mum but would especially like to thank the loving staff at the Marjorie Willoughby-Snowden Hospice, Royal Inland Hospital and, in particular, Dr. Jonat and Dr. Hamilton. Additionally, we are forever grateful for the patient and loving care provided by Janice at Community Health and Natalie and Jennifer from Nurse Next Door.

Masters return home with medals By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

IKE StewartSmith was prepared for everything except Maritime hospitality. “I felt pretty good after the skiing but, after the dancing in Newfoundland, not so good,” the 71-year-old retired schoolteacher said with smile. There was reason to celebrate for StewartSmith and 54-year-old Peter Findlay, both Overlander Ski Club (OSC) members who attended the Canadian Masters Cross Country Ski Championships, held from March 23 to March 29 in Labrador City, N.L. Findlay, a member of the Kamloops Sports Hall of Fame, was up to his old tricks, finishing with three medals in the 50- to 54-year-old division — gold in 10-kilometre skate, silver in 10-kilometre classic and bronze in 20-kilometre classic. He also placed fourth in 20-kilometre skate. The Sa-Hali secondary teacher also won gold in the 50-kilometre race at the Great Labrador Loppet, held on March 22. Stewart-Smith hit the podium at nationals, too, earning bronze in the 20-kilometre skate. Extremely frigid temperatures — at times reaching -47 C with wind chill — were enough to force organizers to push back start

times, but the races went on, adding Mother Nature to the field of opponents. “Breathing is the first thing,” Stewart-Smith said. “It’s very, very hard to breathe. “The second thing is all the clothes that you’re wearing to keep warm restrict your body movements and your skiing. Your hands get cold. Your nose gets cold. Everything gets cold.” Findlay, who opted to run to KTW for an interview, has a special relationship with Stewart-Smith. He was a student at Kamloops secondary in the 1970s when StewartSmith was a teacher at the high school. Friends now, they belong to a group of thick-as-thieves Kamloops masters athletes. “I think camaraderie in a group setting is good,” Stewart-Smith said. “I enjoy getting out and walking and backpacking . . . I don’t think I’d ever stop doing outdoor stuff.” The elder of the two is encouraged by his wife and children to remain active and he wouldn’t have it any other way. “I just enjoy the fitness and the outdoor life and keeping the body in good shape — and I’m a little competitive, yes,” said Stewart-Smith, a longtime Canadian citizen who grew up in Johannesburg. The trip east was not strictly for competition’s sake. The OSC, headquartered at Stake Lake

Mike Stewart-Smith, 71 (left), and Peter Findlay, 54, of the Overlander Ski Club braved freezing temperatures at the Canadian Masters Cross Country Ski Championships, held from March 23 to March 29 in Labrador City, N.L..

Nordic Centre, is hosting the 2015 Canadian cross-country skiing masters event, which runs from Feb. 9 to Feb. 15. There were plenty of notes taken by the travelling duo. “There’s a whole page of things we learned there, but the Overlander Ski Club has done so many events like that, so we’re on track,” Stewart-Smith

said. “There were just fine-tuning things that we saw.” Organizers are urging local skiers to sign up for the Kamloops event. “You don’t have to qualify,” Stewart-Smith said. “Just be there.” Findlay will shift his focus from skiing to running and biking, with spring weather seemingly having arrived. At

54, he’s not even close to slowing down. “Dave Rees was in Newfoundland,” Findlay said. “He was an Olympian in 1968 in cross-country skiing. He put it well: ‘The trick is you’ve just got to keep moving.’ “I don’t see why I can’t just keep on moving. “It’s very much part of my being.”

The Beaver Valley Nitehawks have given the Kamloops Storm their toughest ride to date in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League playoffs. And that’s after just four games in the championship final, the series now tied 2-2. Beaver Valley dropped Kamloops 5-3 on Tuesday, April 1, in Fruitvale, home of the Nitehawks. The teams return to Kamloops for a showdown tonight (April 3) before heading back to Fruitvale on Friday, April 4, for Game 6. Game time is 7 p.m. tonight at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre. “Well, I would say in Game 1 we played pretty decent, not just because we won, but we did all the little habits that we like to do. We did them for most of the game,” Storm head coach Ed Patterson said. “Then, in Game 2, you could tell we just weren’t the same team. We were a little sluggish and taking things for granted. “We were just hoping for things to happen instead of earning them.” With the victory in Game 4, the Nitehawks became the first team in the KIJHL playoffs to win two games against the Storm. Both the Sicamous Eagles and the Osoyoos

Coyotes managed just one victory apiece against Kamloops, while the 100 Mile House Wranglers were shut out by the Storm in the divisional final. “Any team in their right minds, or if they said at the beginning of the season, ‘You’re going to have a best-ofthree and you’re going to have home-ice advantage,’ any team would take it,” Patterson said. “It’s awesome. I love it.” As much as the Storm have been challenged by the Nitehawks, they’re also being challenged by the KIJHL playoff schedule. The drive from Kamloops to Fruitvale is about seven hours long and, with a Game 6 now necessary, the Storm will make the drive at least four times in five days. “We talk about it all the time — in hockey you don’t have time to feel sorry for yourself or feel beat up,” the head coach said. “You have to put on a brave mindset. “Even if you are banged up and tired, you lie to yourself. You tell your brain you’re 100 per cent and you can’t wait to get on the ice and you compete your butt off.”

Super League, super results By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The captain’s ‘C’ on his chest is testament to how far Shinji Matthews has come. Matthews, 11, took to the ice at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre on Saturday, March 29, captaining Kamloops’ team as it faced Kelowna in its first game of the 2014 Super League Hockey Tournament. The tournament, a wrap-up for the hockey for youth with special needs program, brought 40 athletes to Kamloops for the weekend, with teams from Kelowna, Vernon and Penticton. Though Kamloops didn’t win its opening game of the tournament, the kids still had smiles plastered on their faces as they left the ice and navigated the throng of family and friends who awaited them. “For him, it’s not just on the ice, it’s off the ice at school where he can say, ‘I’m part of a hockey team, too,’” said Shinji’s

father, Darren. He noted the program’s benefits haven’t been limited to the athletics side. “For the socialization, it’s just amazing what it has done in those aspects.” Shinji has Down syndrome and, three years ago, when he first started the program, Darren said he’d be tired after just 10 minutes of skating. On Saturday, Shinji took a regular shift on Kamloops’ defence, was in the right position defensively and back-checked when an opposition player broke away with the puck. Shinji said his favourite part of hockey is being out and skating with his friends. His foray into sports hasn’t been limited to hockey. Shinji is a swimmer, floor and street hockey player and he recently grabbed two first-place finishes in the Special Olympics. He also attended his first NHL game this year. Darren said the noise

in the rink would have bothered his son in the past, but not since he started becoming involved in programs like hockey. When the fans cheered at Rogers Arena as the Chicago Blackhawks and the Vancouver Canucks faced off, Shinji cheered, too. He didn’t watch much hockey before, but now he does. His favourite NHL team is the San Jose Sharks, even though his favourite player is Steven Stamkos. On Saturday, Shinji pointed out where the Tampa Bay Lightning forward’s name was printed on his stick. Shinji’s experience is typical of kids in the hockey for youth with special needs program — they often come to their first practice shy and unable to skate, but leave two months later with lasting friendships and a love for Canada’s game. One player, a graduate of the program, has gone on to play co-ed recreational hockey.

Parents have told Ben Chobater, community development coordinator with the City of Kamloops, they’ve never seen their kids as social as they are after a year of playing. “They’re making more friends, they’re playing more — they feel more comfortable with movement and everything — so at school they’re making more friends,” he said. “Parents are saying that the kids, they’ve never seen them smile so much, they have something that they’re looking forward to.” So, when Kamloops left the ice on Saturday morning, it didn’t matter who had won the game. What was important was the kids were having fun and making friends — just getting out and playing hockey. “When you see those kids score, you sure don’t know there’s anything different,” Darren said following Shinji’s game. “They’re all the same when it comes to hockey.”

What would you do with Miguel’s deep pockets?

IGUEL CABRERA of the Detroit Tigers is going to make $292 million over the next 10 seasons. It’s a mind-numbingly ridiculous number. I got to thinking about some of the things I would do to spice up my life in Kamloops if I had that kind of coin. Through a well-calculated advertising campaign (one that would use as propaganda the pictured infamous hockey card of the Bure brothers), I would resurrect the popularity of inline skating. Being that I’m almost 30, wearing an Eric Lindros jersey while dangling and sniping by myself in the lacrosse box beside Marion Schilling elementary is admittedly a little weird. The cash would be coughed up to green-light Adrian Miller’s reality-television show — Yoyo Adrian. I’d turn Mt. Paul into our very own Mt. Rushmore, carving out the face of only one person, the city’s rock himself, Bill O’Donovan. You find me someone with a more-presidential look. Nice guy, too.

MARTY HASTINGS The Tattle of Hastings I would hire bouncers to remove the muscle-head riff-raff from the TCC and pay children not to pass me in the intermediate lane in the Canada Games pool. Ric Flair’s arrival in the Tournament Capital would spell the end of Super Fan Cameron Hughes’ run at Blazers’ games. Nobody gets a crowd going like the Nature Boy . . . Whoooooooooooo! His appearance fee wouldn’t even be too steep considering he needs to replenish his war chest, which has been pillaged throughout myriad legal battles. Whooooooooooo! Someone on Kijiji would be paid to roam around minor sporting events in the River City

wearing a balaclava, slewfooting parents who think it’s OK to abuse young players and officials. I’d buy a boat, call it Pimp Juice, after the Nelly song, which would play on a loop over the watercraft’s speakers, and give free rides to all the Kamloops ladies. Purchasing my roommate’s apartment, the one I live in, for way more than it’s worth would prove he’s no longer the big dog in town. I’m guessing the complete redesign of Mt. Paul would run me a few dollars, so we’ll leave it at that, for now. The Tattle of Hastings appears in KTW on Thursdays. Email Marty Hastings at sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

granted. The narrow, single-lane road paved over the woodentruss structure is a tight squeeze for drivers and limits heavy loads. But, the bridge named after the Douglas fir it was built with has historical importance, the Red Bridge project team leader for the Communities in Bloom Committee said. “Without it, Kamloops wouldn’t have developed the way it has.” A land divided by two rivers meant traders travelled by canoe or ferry to cross the Thompson rivers. Just imagine Kamloops without the Overlanders or

Red bridges to get an understanding how much easier a span made things. The inaugural crossing in Kamloops — and the first of three Red bridges — was initially called Government Bridge and was built over the South Thompson River in 1887. It cost $7,000 and was constructed in two months, linking the Indian Band Reserve to Kamloops. Despite withstanding a major flood, the wooden structure needed rebuilding some 25 years later. Then, it caught fire and was rebuilt again in 1936 as the Red Bridge we know today — this time at a cost of $60,000 and assembled in five months. Since then, it has been painted red, gained hand railings, has been reinforced with four steel piers and more. Communities in Bloom

took it further in 2012, choosing the bridge as its bicentennial project and improving the entrance, adding information kiosks to emphasize its history, zeroscaping and creating benches made from the old bridge. More information and landscaping is planned, but the next big step is to light up the bridge. The committee is working on a getting a design drafted. “We haven’t got it completely budgeted yet,” Stainton said. “[It’s] probably in the neighbourhood of $300,000,” It will also need approval from the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, the bridge owner with rights to the official — and perhaps unknown — name of the bridge: the Kamloops East Red Bridge. Stainton noted the project has created a tourist destina-

tion, a beautiful tiful walking lki area and one dayy envisions the Red Bridge as strictly trictly a pedestrian walkway. She said lights — probably red — would allow areas all over the city to see it downtown. “It’s only a matter of time,” Stainton said. “It will be quite stunning.” Right now, the committee is selling personalized bricks installed around the information kiosks, raising money for the entire project. More than 150 bricks have been purchased, embedded in the earth along Lorne Street and underneath the bridge in Pioneer Park. About 60 or so are still available at $100 each. Deadline to purchase is April 15. For more information, go online to city.kamloops.bc.ca/ cib/redbridgeproject.

DID YOU KNOW? FIRST BRIDGE: The Red Bridge was the first bridge in Kamloops, first built in 1887 and initially called the Government Bridge. RED NAME: It was renamed the Red Bridge for the red-coloured Douglas fir from which it was built. OFFICIAL NAME: However, its official name is the Kamloops East Red Bridge. WOODEN STRUCTURE: A 1970 Kamloops Daily Sentinel article reported wooden bridges as a thing of the past — and that was 44 years ago. It’s now one of the last in the province. BRIDGE’S BIRTHDAY: The bridge has been rebuilt twice, most recently in 1936, making the current one almost 78 years old. CHEAPER IN THE OL’ DAYS: The first Red Bridge was built over two months and cost $7,000. COLOURED BRIDGES: The Red Bridge is not the only bridge dubbed for its colour. Kamloops has had a White Bridge, a Black Bridge and still has a Blue Bridge (Overlanders Bridge.) MORE THAN A BRIDGE: It is considered an important link between the city and Tk’emlups Indian Band, something the city’s heritage advisory committee wants preserved.

The Infectuals will be one of the local acts taking part in Roots2Rock, at TRU’s Irving K. Barber Centre on Saturday, April 5.

Roots2Rock a ‘highlight event’ for local musicians By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

With a vibrant music scene in the city, it made sense to tap into it for the Roots2Rock fundraiser at TRU this weekend, said co-organizer Christopher Seguin. The vice-president advancement at Thompson Rivers University said he’s often thought local musicians should have a highlight event. “This is one of them,” he said. It’s also a partnership with the Kamloops Interior Summer School of Music (KISSM), said Daniela O’Fee, the artistic director for the Saturday, April 5, event in the Brown Family House of Learning’s Irving K. Barber Centre. Taking part will be The Infectuals (Richard Graham, Kris Ruston and Mike Turner), CrossBow (Neil Burnett and Christine Zaenker) and the Serious Options choir. Graham said he’s looking forward to the task presented to the band — “to take the ticket holder on a journey through music” — a journey that will make stops in the 1920s, on Broadway stages and to rock, including some of his band’s songs. All three groups will perform separately but come together to do the Spencer Williams song Basin Street Blues. O’Fee said she’s excited about the event, the acts it will highlight and the benefit it will have for local musicians. The funds raised will be split between student awards at TRU and KISSM. She’s particularly happy to be giving back to

KISSM, she said, because her sons — both musicians — were involved in it. “And, KISSM did a lot for my boys,” she said. O’Fee is also intrigued by the venue — a round room — and the opportunities and challenges it poses to present the journey. Graham said the evening starts with CrossBow, a cello and woodwind duet, and then transitions into Serious Options before the Infectuals take the stage. He said he suspects O’Fee asked them to take part because she knows they are always busy and can do different styles. Part of the band’s busy-ness has been creating its recent self-titled CD, getting it onto iTunes and into Pattison Group grocery stores. Tickets for the 7 p.m. event are $40, $30 for TRU students and alumni. They are available online at tru.ca/foundation or by calling 250-828-5264. Beer, wine and food from Terra restaurant will also be available, as well as a silent auction.

Lorne Elliott coming Lorne Elliott, host of the CBC Radio comedy show Madly Off In All

ENTERTAINMENT Directions for many years, will be stopping in Kamloops as part of his national Arts On Tour. The radio show, which drew its name from another funny Canadian â€” Stephen Leacock, who wrote the line in his story Gertrude the Governess â€” was broadcast for a decade, wrapping up its run in 2006. Since then, Elliott has kept himself busy not only with his standup comedy, but as a playwright â€” he won the Playwrights Guild of Canada Award in 2012 for best new musical for Jamie Rowsell Lives â€” and as an

author. His first novel, Beach Reading, published in 2013, was a finalist for the Hugh MacLennan Fiction Prize. Elliott describes his show as a selection of monologues and songs dealing with life â€” but infused with dry humour and some skewed observations. The Tuesday, April 8 show is family-friendly. Tickets are $22.38, plus taxes and service charges, and are available at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-3745483, kamloopslive.ca.

Upcoming at Big Little Science Centre

Have you noticed any beneďŹ ts in your Little? I have noticed that my Little has come out of her shell throughout this program so far. It has helped boost her conďŹ dence a lot. Why do you think that someone should volunteer in this program? I think someone should volunteer in this program because you can see the difference that one person can make in their Littleâ€™s life, and it is extremely rewarding.

Volunteers needed for Westsyde Amazing Race By Jessica Wallace STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

You don’t need to be the most physically fit person to compete in the Westsyde Community Development Society’s Absolute Amazing Race. You do, however, need to be ready for anything. “Last year, teams had to eat a 100year-old duck egg, which is like a Chinese delicacy,” said Corrinna Douglas, events co-ordinator for the Westsyde Community Development Society. The fourth annual two-day event will take place on Saturday, May 3, and Sunday, May 4. The non-profit society hosting the event has a fundraising goal of $5,000 to help build a water park in the Centennial Park area. The city agreed to help create it if the community group could fund construction of washrooms and changing rooms. The city recently finalized the $370,000 investment in the 2014 city budget and construction is expected to begin this spring. “It’s our key fundraiser,” Douglas said. Participants 19 and older will compete for the top prize — a $2,000 open-ended trip with $1,000 spending money courtesy of Advantage Travelwise — as they race around Kamloops, completing challenges comparable to those on the television series The Amazing Race. Teams of two will begin on the Saturday at 9 a.m., travelling around Kamloops by car with a volunteer. The race continues to 5 p.m. The top 10 teams will return for round two the next day. The event wraps up on Sunday night with

an all-you-can-eat pasta dinner, a silent auction and an awards ceremony, complete

with door prizes for $20 at the Dunes Golf Course, open to everyone.

While registration is full, those who registered last week are asked to

contact the society at race@westsyde. info to confirm their application

was received as the society’s website had a glitch. Volunteers are

also needed. For more information, go online to race.westsyde.info.

AUTO MARKET

More aerodynamic tests help Mustang perform Mustang is first Ford with front-wheel aero curtains to help guide airflow across the front wheels. It is just one part of an extensive effort to retain the car’s iconic look while reducing drag. Careful shaping of the Mustang’s front and rear help to keep the car planted on the road for more confident handling and steering at higher speeds The bold, muscular form of the Ford Mustang reimagines the iconic sports car shape in a way that retains the character that fans expect from the brand while incorporating aerodynamic technology that improves fuel efficiency and performance. Design and performance are two of the essential attributes that have made the Mustang appeal to millions of fans for five decades. Performance can be improved by increasing the output of the powerplant or reducing the amount of work it has to do. The new Mustang is doing both with improved powertrains and a sleeker shape that slips through the air with less effort.

Aerodynamics plays an increasingly important role in overall vehicle performance as speed increases. The force required to slice through the air goes up exponentially with the speed, so twice the speed requires eight times the horsepower just to overcome drag. That means small changes can have a big impact on both performance and fuel efficiency. It’s not visually obvious, but rotating wheels are a major source of aerodynamic drag. However, enclosing the wheels in skirts to smooth the flow just doesn’t look right, especially on a performance car like the Mustang. Vertical slots in the outer edge of the front fascia channel air from the front of the car to openings in the wheel wells, directing it across the outer surface of the wheel and tire. The wall of high-speed air works much like a skirt to reduce drag while still leaving the beautifully designed alloy wheels fully exposed.

The Ford Mustang features a sleek, modern and muscular interpretation of the iconic pony car form that is more aerodynamically efficient.

Confessions of a Curber

The Toyota TS040 Hybrid made its track debut at Paul Ricard on January 21 and has subsequently completed 12 days of testing across Europe, covering around 18,000 kilometres.

New era for Toyota racing with TS040 Hybrid Toyota Racing has revealed the TS040 Hybrid car and revised driver line-up which will take it into the 2014 FIA World Endurance Championship - and into a new era of hybrid motorsport. With 480 hp of four-wheeldrive hybrid boost in addition to the 520-hp 3.7-litre gasoline engine, the TS040 Hybrid, launched at Paul Ricard, has a maximum power of 1000PS and represents the most advanced hybrid technology in racing. The move to a four-wheel drive hybrid sees Toyota return to a concept which has been part of its racing hybrid development since 2007, when the four-wheel drive Supra HV-R became the

first hybrid to win an endurance race, the Tokachi 24 Hours. The new Toyota Hybrid System Racing powertrain has been developed specifically for the revised WEC technical regulations, which put a particular focus on fuel economy. A 25 per cent reduction in fuel usage compared to 2013 is required, with savings achieved through powertrain, aerodynamics and driving style efficiencies. A fuel flow metre will monitor fuel usage and penalties will be applied in the race if the

three-lap average consumption exceeds defined limits. The level of hybrid capacity each team commits to determines the fuel allowance. Toyota Racing has opted for 6MJ of hybrid capacity per lap of Le Mans. The new, more open regulations have allowed Toyota Racing to implement a major increase in hybrid power, with an AISIN AW motor-generator on the front axle added to compliment the DENSO unit on the rear.

Noodling on the web one morning I found out that I was selling vehicles illegally. If I was in the business of selling, I need to be licensed as a dealer. Oh well. Everything’s been working out just fine for me. I skated through those recent bad deals. My previous sales were a distant memory – I was eager to start selling more. So, I decided to up my game a bit. I got a low-end truck and a car from an auction and another car from a new parking lot friend. I put ads for all three vehicles on Craigslist. Of course my ads said they were all real gems. You’d think people might see through my ads. “Need to sell fast, so price is flexible. Call with best offer.” And my cell number was the same for all three. Would anybody notice? The first two cheaper vehicles sold quickly. The last one took a bit longer to sell. Of course, it was the one I was most eager to sell. Why, you ask? Well, not that I passed the information along, but the auction provided vehicle history reports for the first two. I had no information on the last. So, I bought ICBC and CarProof vehicle history reports. I wanted to educate myself. To my surprise, there was a statement in both reports that the vehicle was possibly “stolen*.” I knew I had to sell it fast. I mean, I’d paid for it and I knew my new “friend” wouldn’t take it back. Four days later, I got a call from a young

“Apart from being stolen, it was pretty nice!” woman. She asked if the car would fit a family of four. “Definitely!” I practically screamed. I was a wreck during this sale. I just needed to get rid of this car – fast. I told the nice lady the details of the car. Apart from being stolen, it was pretty nice! I told her I was in a hurry to visit my mum in the hospital. She was in a hurry too – her three-year-old was anxious, pulling at her pant legs. She seemed to not want to be there as much as me. Finally, she agreed to buy the car. Phew! I was saved. Whatever happens next, I don’t care. It’s her problem not mine. I quickly changed my phone number (again). Weeks later, I saw her on the news – with kid still at pant legs – talking to a reporter. Apparently, the car was towed away by the police. And yes, she was trying to find me. Had I covered my tracks? I agonized.

*How can a stolen vehicle be sold? Curbers often break the law by bridging a title. Instead of registering a vehicle in their name within 10 days after a purchase, as required, they leave it in the name of the previous owner. This keeps their name out of the chain of title and from being caught with a stolen vehicle or one that would not be able to be registered or insured for another reason.

Buying used? We’re looking out for you. Find out how at WatchoutforWalt.com

“We have plans to build a safer, better pipeline. We also have plans to operate it that way.” Janet Holder, Leader of Northern Gateway

I’m Janet Holder, leader of Northern Gateway. Of the 209 conditions set by the Joint Review Panel, over 60 deal speciﬁcally with land safety and related environmental safeguards.

as possible on British Columbia’s terrain and neighbouring communities. In fact, 70% of the route utilizes previously disturbed lands, including old forestry roads, cut blocks and other disturbances.

EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS We are working on those conditions with the same diligence that we are applying to the tough conditions mandated by the Province. In many cases, these conditions reﬂect the world class voluntary land safety measures that Northern Gateway proposed during the Review process. A BETTER, SAFER PIPELINE Our land safety measures primarily focus on spill prevention. With new standards in pipeline design and integrity, construction, monitoring and project management, we want to build a better, safer pipeline. A RESPECTFUL ROUTE After a decade of planning, we have mapped out a pipeline route that will have as little impact

Janet Holder, Leader of Northern Gateway

A WATCHFUL EYE We are equally committed to setting new standards when it comes to Emergency Preparedness and Response. In fact, JRP Conditions #174 and #175 require us to file separate emergency response plans for every 10-km section of pipe. That’s over 110 separate plans that include details covering specific habitat to protect. Our plans also include realistic training programs and exercises, staffing of all pump stations, 24/7 monitoring, advanced leak detection systems and more remotely-controlled isolation valves. We’re doing all this hard work because we are committed to developing the most sound, sensible and sensitive approach to designing, constructing and operating the Project.
