Teaching multiplication tables — times four — is hard enough at the best of times. For the Hrychiw family, the challenge of raising quadruplets is amplified because two of them have been diagnosed with Lyme Disease. “We should buy a lottery ticket, right?” quipped mom Deborah. Ten years ago, Kamloops welcomed Isaac, Eli, Judah and Rose Promise Hrychiw with excitement as they entered the world. Today, the siblings share the same Grade 4 class at Kamloops Christian School and a love for Mom’s mac n’ cheese. The boys also share a bedroom in the family’s Juniper home. The siblings share a lot of things — but they also have their differences. Similar in height, three of the kids have mom’s big blue eyes, but Isaac has hazel eyes, like dad. Isaac’s hair is also different from that of Judah and Rose Promise — more red, while Eli is blond with freckles. Looks aside, they won’t agree on a favourite colour — red, blue, green and pink — and they all have different callings. X See FAMILY A6

the SURVIVOR
Rwandan genocide survivor Clemantine Wamariya spoke at Thompson Rivers University this week. Her message: Serve others. Hugo Yuen photo
By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
IN BE T KA ST HE M VI LO EW O PS !
A speaker during Thompson Rivers University’s International Days travelled thousands of kilometres to get to Kamloops, but the genocide survivor is more accustomed to using her feet. When she was six years old, Rwandan native Clemantine Wamariya, now a board member of the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., walked thousands of kilometres south to escape violence and persecution in the African country. But, the picture Wamariya painted
in front of a full Grand Hall audience this week at TRU was a mango tree at her home in Kigali — a home that would later be burned during a brutal genocide. “This mango tree was a place of transportation,” said Wamariya, who was introduced to millions of viewers three years ago by Oprah Winfrey. Through imagination, the tree became a bus or airplane for the loquacious youngster, who described a tranquil life in Kigali. But, everything changed in 1994, when rampaging Hutu militias began killing ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus by the thousands. “When I heard someone was coming to kill us, I didn’t know what
that meant,” Wamariya said. “I was six years old.” She described her understanding of death as people were killed in massacre after massacre: “For me, they were sleeping.” Wamariya described her journey, being separated from her parents and constantly moving to escape violence. Starving, she walked and was transported from central to southern Africa — then back again. With Wamariya was her teenaged sister, Claire, who became pregnant along the journey. Hungry and vulnerable, they travelled between refugee camps, surviving on her sister’s clever entrepreneurialism and survival instincts,
along with Wamariya’s gregarious personality. Countries along the route included Tanzania, Congo, Malawi and South Africa. The pair picked up local languages and dialects along the way and were eventually joined by Claire’s new baby. Five years later, they made their way to Zambia, then to Chicago through a refugee-resettlement program. Wamariya didn’t learn her parents were alive until eight years after the genocide began. She was reunited with them during an emotional episode on the Oprah Winfrey Show. Wamariya learned English to add
to her mastery of languages. She attends Yale University and is an active speaker, travelling the world. Wamariya said a frequent question she is asked, including by an audience member at TRU, is, “What can you do” to avoid future genocides? The answer, she said, is through volunteerism and compassion that starts at home, simple actions to assist family or neighbours by personal sacrifice. “I don’t have a solution,” she said. “When you’re ready to serve others — across the street or your family — I beg you to say these words: How do I serve you?”

Accused disappears from home-invasion trial break-and-enter, disguising a face to commit an offence, unlawful confinement and assault with a weapon. They were arrested after a reported home invasion and robbery at a house on Kemano Street in North Kamloops on Jan. 23, 2013. Anderson contacted his lawyer at about lunchtime on Wednesday, telling him he was late and on his way to court. But, he did not show and had not been found as of press dead-
By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
One of three men on trial for an alleged home invasion has gone missing and has been declared by a B.C. Supreme Court justice to have legally absconded. Joadth Anderson did not show up to court on Wednesday, March 12. Unlike fellow co-accused Travis Kelly and James Paulin, Anderson was not in held in custody before and during the trial. The three men face charges of
line, despite the launch of an RCMP investigation. RCMP Const. Dan Eccleston testified in B.C. Supreme Court on Thursday, March 13, that police searched a room on Mackenzie Avenue, where Anderson had been staying with a female friend. The friend told police Anderson had gathered up his belongings and laundry at 1:30 a.m. on Thursday — telling her he was going to the laundromat — and disappeared with a “drug girl.” “I have to conclude, without
hesitation, Mr. Anderson has absconded,” Justice Lauri Ann Fenlon ruled. Anderson’s disappeared on the 13th day of a 15-day trial. He had heard all the evidence against him, as well as his lawyer’s arguments. All that remains in the trial is lawyer Jeremy Jensen’s arguments on behalf of his client and Crown’s submissions before Fenlon renders a decision. “The trial was all but finished,” Fenlon said. The disappearance came
after Fenlon ruled against a bid by Anderson’s lawyer to have Anderson acquitted by reason of insufficient Crown evidence against him. An accused has a constitutional right to be present during a trial. But, the finding that Anderson’s disappearance is absconding relieves him of that right. Fenlon also ruled the trial against Kelly and Paulin can continue in Anderson’s absence. It is scheduled to be completed this week.
Bursary will bear name of teacher Every year, the KamloopsThompson Teachers’ Association awards bursaries in secondary schools. This year, the award to be received by a student at Beattie School of the Arts will carry another name, that of former teacher Jennifer Swan, who died in a February car crash.
Outgoing KTTA president Jason Karpuk said the union chose to rename the $500 award this year to honour the teacher, a woman praised by school administration, her teaching colleagues and students alike. Swan had been teaching Grade 2 at Beattie’s elementary campus.

FAMILY RAISING FUNDS FOR LYME TREATMENT X From A1
“Firefighter,” said Eli. “Engineer,” said Isaac. “Teacher,” said Rose Promise. “Plumber,” said Judah. “They’re definitely their own people,” Deborah noted. One thing the quadruplets aren’t used to sharing is a birthday cake, but they did earlier this week while celebrating their 10th birthday on March 10. “Usually, I make four cakes,” Deborah said. “One for each of them.” They also usually each get their own rendition of Happy Birthday, but times have been tough on the family lately. Father Peter has been working in Alberta to make ends meet, while Judah and Isaac continue to miss school while living with Lyme disease. The family is heading south for treatment in the United States. “The options in Canada are extremely limited,” Deborah said. “We have to go there and try something completely alternative.” Treatment in Florida for six months comes with a steep price tag — $225,000 when all is said and done — but Deborah has helping hands from those who have supported the family all along. Almost $20,000 has been raised for the trip with help from the kids’ school, members of their parish at
Kamloops Alliance Church and the community at large. Deborah remembers a group of 100 or so volunteers who helped change diapers, prepare meals and provide emotional support in the first year after the quadruplets were born. “Every need you could imagine,” Deborah said. “It was critical.” It was a time when being mom to four kids the same age was physically demanding. Now, as her role has become increasingly demanding emotionally, Deborah is also leaning on her faith. She and Peter did the same more than a decade ago when they had trouble getting pregnant. “We prayed for just one baby,” she said. “It’s kind of like waking up on Christmas morning and thinking you’ll just have one gift under the tree and there’s a whole pile of them.” For now, Deborah is taking advice she gave her expecting self a decade ago: “You’re gonna get through it and it’s going to be really good.” The Garage, at 1331 Battle St., is holding an all-day fundraising car wash for the family on Saturday, March 15. To find out more or to donate to the family, go online to youcaring.com/ medical-fundraiser/judah-vslyme/107787.

CARRYING THE WORLD’S LARGEST CRUSHER The heaviest of four sections of a crusher being installed at Copper Mountain mine is being transported from Kamloops this week by special permit due to its size. The Princeton mining operation already moved the first section of the crusher, transported by ship from Italy to Halifax, then by rail to Kamloops. The main frame of the Raptor 2000 rock crusher arrived in Kamloops on March 6. After offloading it was transported via road by a special heavy-duty truck. The largest section of the crusher, the largest in the world, weighs 100 tonnes. The new unit will help the mine reach a daily processing rate of 32,000 tonnes a day of ore.

Even the revolution cannot keep capitalism at bay
F
OR A FEW YEARS, I worked with a reporter who was born in what was then East Germany. His family managed to escape the satellite Soviet Union country and settle in Canada. During my years working with him, the reporter would remind one and all of the death and destruction caused in the name of communism. He was particularly vocal every time condemnation of Adolf Hitler or Benito Mussolini or Francisco Franco was the topic of discussion. No, he was not a fan of any fascist dictator. In fact, like most of us, he abhorred the brutal legacies of such madmen. But, he would always be quick to remind us of the death and destruction caused by madmen of the left — Joseph Stalin in particular. The reporter was adamant — and his argument is solid — that communist dictatorships have killed far more innocent people than have fascist dictatorships. In such cases, there is hardly a lesser of two evils — when the bodies on both sides are stacked into the millions, does it really matter who wins in the cadaver count? I can only imagine what my newsroom friend would have thought had he walked into the Irving Barber Centre for Learning at Thompson Rivers University a week ago today, where Cuban ambassador to Canada Julio Garmendia Pena and first secretary Miraly Gonzalez Gonzalez spoke to a crowd of 55. True, when an event is organized
CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom
MUSINGS and presented by the TRU Socialist Club, you know what you are getting into by walking through the door. Still, I imagine the iconic portrait of Che Guevera, looming as large as a national flag above all the auditorium, would have had my East German friend listing the reasons why Ernesto Lynch (the given name of the Argentinian-born Cuban legend who never did become a Cuban citizen) was a terrorist and not a freedom fighter or martyr. He would point to Guevera, Fidel Castro, the Chinese communist regime and the successive Soviet administrations as examples of butchery. Then again, my friend from the old country may indeed have been swayed by the words of the Cuban ambassador, who was blunt in his assessment of the dire situation in Cuba and self-deprecating when explaining why things don’t change all that quickly on the Caribbean island. It is no secret the Cuban economy collapsed when the Soviet Union died and took with it the subsidies it
had been granting the island country. While Pena noted a strengthened post-Soviet U.S. economic blockade and low sugar and nickel prices contributed to the financial crisis, he admitted culpability among the Castro regime. “We are not perfect. We have committed mistakes,” he said. “We have been inefficient in productivity.” To remedy that, Pena said, Cuba has granted permission for some forms of self-employment, has given local government for control over investment decisions and is courting foreign investment. If that sounds like the revolution is giving way to capitalism — and it does — Pena will object. “We are not called reformists because that would be a change in the model,” Pena told KTW. “We are updating the model.” He noted 80 per cent of Cubans moved to cities to study after the 1959 revolution, leaving 20 per cent in rural areas, a ratio he noted was opposite that found in China following its transformation. “But, we are not China,” Pena quipped. “We are Caribbean. We like mojitos. We like to dance. That is no secret.” One suspects the Cuban people will increasingly like the freedom to make more money and venture to other lands with that cash as the country shifts more and more toward a free-market, capitalist system. Sooner or later, it happens in all communist countries. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com
The provincial push for a producer-pay recycling system is based on the concept of charging manufacturers whose products contribute to the waste stream, such as plastic packaging. But, the government-mandated program is going to penalize some unfairly, including citizens. For instance, it will hit the newspaper industry with a 20 cent per kilogram cost for its “packaging” — the very paper on which newspapers are printed. That vested interest aside, it’s debatable whether the new system will achieve its environmental goals, while simultaneously driving up costs for consumers. Although the MMBC collection system may have benefits for communities that do not have adequate curbside recycling programs, it is not needed in Kamloops, where the city has been achieving high rates of waste diversion through its own recycling and compost collection. Consequently, Kamloops will be on the outside looking in for now — and that comes at a cost, since MMBC will provide no subsidy for communities whose programs don’t conform to its standards. Maintaining Kamloops’ current program is good for the environment and residents who receive curbside pickup of glass containers and other recyclables that MMBC would not collect. Local consumers will effectively pay the cost of recycling twice, as producers build the price of the MMBC program into their products and taxpayers foot the bill for curbside pickup. This is a program that needs to be put on hold and reconsidered in its entirety.

Re: Letter: For four bucks a head, we will receive untold misery: “A shoddy analysis to a shoddy piece of work, IMHO. While I agree the study commissioned by Venture Kamloops leaves one scratching his/her head, I find this letter to be a little over the top, also. “Are there no doctors in Trail or Prince George? “Are there no doctors in Sudbury? None? “Are people dropping dead, above the average, in the aforementioned places? “I am all for ‘no Ajax’ but, please, let’s remain on Earth while confronting it. “Otherwise ‘we stand to stand’ on our own foot.” — posted by Lyman Duff “Geez, if there was one-tenth truth in Dennis Karpiak’s statement, I would be incapable of writing this letter as, you see, I would be dead. “I really hope more people like Dennis keep writing letters like this because it takes away from any credibility the antiAjax side has.” — posted by Mario Ficarini

SURVEY RESULTS
‘Up-and-comers’ deserve a stage YES 82% Editor: I am writing to voice my absolute disgust with the state of the Kamloops music scene. I am in a local music group named Aileron, all born and raised in Kamloops. Over the past few years, a good friend of ours has been battling cancer. He has beat it twice and it has just returned for a third time. As travel costs and living expenses are very expensive to get treatment, we wanted to conduct an all-ages show as a
fundraiser to help him with costs. We have spoken to a number of different venues in town, all of which have turned us down because they either do not like to do concerts or do not have loud music — leaving us with small venues, in which we could not raise much money for our friend, or Cactus Jack’s. As we want to put on a concert to give kids something to look forward to and help raise money for our friend, it leaves us in a tough position. Also, this is very upsetting that a city
such as Kamloops has no venues or creative outputs for music and the arts. I find it troubling because, when I was growing up, there were always concerts or venues putting on musical acts. If I did not have that in my youth, I certainly would not have had the fuel or motivation to get where I am today. How are we supposed to support our up-and-comers, or feed a thriving scene, if there is no garden to let it grow? Josh Ruddock Kamloops
site should be Leaders need to speak up on Ajax KDN home to transport hub Editor: Re: Patrick Grant’s letter of March 11 (‘With mine approval, Kamloops will get the shaft’): My wife and I arrived in Kamloops over 60 years ago, looking for a good place to raise four pre-schoolers, and found a small community of some 8,000 souls thriving on the products of heavy industry and natural resources. Our close neighbours were mines, mills, pipelines and refineries — all the environmental horrors of modern society. Kamloops has since evolved happily into the envy of Canada and been warmly recognized as the Tournament Capital, now housing about
100,000 inhabitants. At 93, I look back with gratitude at the Kamloops that was. But, alas, though we still have our natural resources, we have no work. Without protest, we permit our federal government to declare our work a danger to our health. Our provincial government, like Pontius Pilate, looks the other way and washes its hands. Our city council, also elected to speak on our behalf, remains silent on the issue. Do they have no opinion or are they more concerned about their own employment? Ted Joslin Kamloops

Editor: The city is buying the Daily News building — so Mayor Peter Milobar might get his downtown Parkade after all. I can’t blame him. After all, who wouldn’t want to leave a parking lot as a political legacy? But, I can’t help thinking there could be better use for such a nice lot with a perfectly good building in downtown. One could move the transit exchange from the edge of downtown into the centre and, with a little coaxing, the Greyhound depot could be be in the same location, as well. It would certainly be a great improvement from the shack in the light-industrial
COMMUNITY
wasteland where it is now. Just imagine — a transportation hub right downtown! As for the current transit exchange, it could be made into a parking lot. If one takes transit, one is rewarded then with being right downtown while drivers would have to walk a couple of blocks — as transit users do now. It would go a long way as an actual action to all the talk about being carbon-neutral one hears from city hall. I’m not very hopeful, though — the builders of parking lots have never been much of a creative and visionary bunch. Beat Klossner Kamloops

City left out of recycling program By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
The B.C. government is defending a new recycling program city officials say leaves Kamloops out in the cold. Multi-Material BC is an industry stewardship group set up by manufacturers of printed paper products and packaging to keep their goods out of the province’s dumps. Beginning in May, the group will take over curbside-recycling services in many parts of the province, either by subsidizing existing programs or hiring contractors to do the work. But, because Kamloops signed on to the program during MMBC’s extended deadline, rather than its initial Sept. 16 cut-off point, the city won’t
be getting the approximately $1.1 million in payments it was expecting. Mayor Peter Milobar has penned a letter to the province, asking the Ministry of Environment to play a more active roll in MMBC’s rollout, which he said has been poorly managed and a source of frustration for communities across B.C. “We didn’t pass things by September because it was an openended contract with no answers — and we weren’t the only ones,” he told KTW. “They turned around and said, ‘OK, we have a new deadline for you. If you apply by this date, you can still be in,’ which we did. “The fact that they keep moving around the date and conditions and things like that — if
we weren’t going to be in, they should have a) never had an extended deadline and b) been able to tell us that as soon as that extended deadline came and went,” Milobar said. At least one other governing body has been dropped from the program for 2014 for the same reason. The Arrow Lakes News reports the Regional District of Central Kootenay was told it is on a waiting list for curbside services and will be reviewed in 2015. Milobar said Kamloops would be within its rights to drop recycling services altogether and let MMBC scramble to pick up the pieces. “How is that helping to reduce waste?” he asked. “Garbage isn’t free,
recycling’s not free. I think we all appreciate that. But, from my perspective, the rollout with MMBC has been beyond poorly managed and handled.” In an emailed statement to KTW, a Ministry of Environment spokesman said the province has already intervened. “We recognize that the program could have been rolled out better. “That’s why we asked MMBC to reengage with both local government and the business community back in September,” the spokesman said, adding consultations with the B.C. Chamber of Commerce led to a fee exemption for businesses with less than $1 million in annual revenue that deal in printed paper and packaging. He said the govern-

The room will house a new fluoroscopic unit radiologists and technicians at the hospital use for such things as exam-
ining joints, the gastrointestinal tract and in assisting with biopsies. Cost of the roomconstruction work will be shared with the Thompson Regional Hospital District, with Interior Health Authority paying 60 per cent.
ment expects MMBC will eventually offer curbside service in Kamloops, though there is no timeline for such a move, noting the city will be served by new MMBC recycling depots — locations to be determined — that will accept 10 types of material not currently accepted, including foam packaging. “Under the MMBC program, producers will bear the costs and risks of managing the products they put into the market at end-of-life,” the spokesman said. “Commercial partners [such as local governments] remain free to choose if, and how, they wish to assist in meeting these objectives.”

Bioswales coming to Brock By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
It sounds technical, but a new bioswale coming to Windbreak Street this spring is far from futuristic. “It’s really a grass ditch with a little extra,� said city drainage engineer Jonathan Welke. The city is planning to add sidewalks to both sides of the street in front of Brocklehurst middle school, as well as a boulevard with a bioswale on the west side of the road. Traffic-calming islands though the school zone and improved bus stops and crosswalks are also included in the $3.1-million project, which was the subject of a city open house on Wednesday, March 12. In a new approach for the city, residents and students at the middle school were asked to fill out questionnaires about what they wanted to see done to the street when the project was in the design stage last April. “It just helped us align our design objectives right off the beginning so we didn’t get to a point further down the line and say, ‘OK, we’ve got to start from scratch again,� said streets and capital-projects manager Kristen Meersman. Better drainage was among the most popular options, along with painted crosswalks, sidewalks and better street lighting. Welke said it’s not uncommon to see large pools of water on the dirt shoulders of Windbreak, adding nuisance flooding is a long-
standing problem in the neighbourhood. “Water just drains to the sides of the road and slowly soaks in,� he said. The swale will use grass and trees to filter pollutants out of runoff at the surface, while a rock trench underneath will make it easier for water to soak into the ground. Welke said the sandy soil of the North Shore makes it an ideal spot to use bioswales instead of pipe drainage. There’s also a cost advantage. Laying pipe to drain the water would have added about $1.5 million to the cost of the Windbreak upgrade. Welke said the bioswales will be treated like other city boulevards, with residents asked to water and mow the grass while the city takes care of the trees. Because the city owns a wide swath of land on both sides of the roadway, Meersman said there weren’t many limits on what could be done to the street without annexing residents’ front yards. “There’s so much room property line to property line that there was parking available and people weren’t using it, so it was wasted space,� she said. About half the residents who returned questionnaires also said they wanted on-street parking eliminated in front of their homes. Meersman said the project will go out to tender this spring, with the goal of having much of the construction on the road completed over the summer when school isn’t in session, though the project will likely take until October to wrap up.

No unanimous opinion yet on arts-centre site By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
They have a potential site, but many Kamloops city councillors remain undecided as to whether they are ready to dedicate a quarter-of-a-million dollars to preliminary studies required for a performing-arts centre. The $260,000 study package is one of many items of this year’s supplemental list. On March 25, councillors will decided which to add the 2014 budget and which to push back to future years. A lack of land is one issue some councillors raised in a preliminary debate in February, with Nancy Bepple and Marg Spina suggesting the
city should hold off on spending at least half the suggested sum until a building was located. Following the city’s announcement of its deal to buy the downtown Kamloops Daily News building from Glacier Media for $4.8 million, Spina still thinks spreading the $260,000 over several years has merit, but hasn’t decided how she will vote. “I think there is a vision. Whether this is the year to start with a quarter-million in planning dollars, I don’t know,” she said. Ken Christian said he needs to do some number-crunching before March 25, but thinks the deal to buy the newspaper property at Seymour Street and Fourth Avenue
added momentum. “We cannot have the kind of tax increases that we’ve had,” he said. “If there’s room within, say, a two per cent tax increase for that, that’s a very valid project that I think just became a bit more valid.” Arjun Singh feels much the same. “I’m probably leaning towards supporting it, but my line in the sand is I’d like to see our tax hike kept below two per cent,” he said. “So, even stuff that I’m leaning towards funding probably is more than that.” Other councillors said they’re comfortable putting at least some money toward the performingarts centre, but aren’t yet convinced the Daily
News lot is the ideal place for the building. Tina Lange pointed out the alley that cuts through the lot, running between the former newspaper offices and the back parking lot, is a conduit for many of the city’s pipes and wires, which make it a more difficult spot on which to build. But, before the city nails down a location, Lange wants to know if the centre will bring money into the community. “We need to know, looking at other communities, how does it work, what’s the business case?” she said. “Because if there isn’t a business case, there’s no point in going any further. “
Dix agrees BCLC execs should live in city By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
NDP Leader Adrian Dix agrees the B.C. Lottery Corporation’s (BCLC) senior executive team should work and live in Kamloops. But, he questioned why there has been a leakage of BCLC executives to Vancouver, away from the head office in Kamloops. “They did this. The Liberal party did this,” Dix said of exodus of senior executives to Vancouver under former CEO Michael Graydon during the past six years. “It’s a little like the premier does — she talks about the education issue as if it was an accident that she witnessed out there on the street,” Dix said. “She was driving the car — and they’re driving the car. They created the situation of multiple head offices. It’s weird.” Kamloops-South Thompson MLA and Transportation Minister Todd Stone recently told interim CEO Jim Lightbody the B.C. Liberal government wants the head office to continue in
Kamloops and expects executives to be at the head office. “While I agree with
them, and have said so for a long time, the difference is they’re in government and they’re
allowing it to happen,” Dix said. “It happened under their watch.”

Attorney General Suzanne Anton’s announcement on Tuesday, March 11, that Les would be paid up to $140,000 to lead an eight-month consultation on earthquake preparedness was greeted by questions over his qualifications and other interests. NDP critics questioned whether Les’ experience as a mayor and solicitor general was relevant to the provincewide project he was to chair. The vice-chair, former director of California’s Office of Emergency Services Henry Renteria, is to be paid up to $100,000. Clark moved quickly to blunt the
opposition attack on Wednesday, March 12, announcing at the start of question period that the contract with Les has been withdrawn. “It was a mistake,� Clark told reporters later. “I think the essence of leadership is not just making decisions, it’s also being able to course correct when you’ve made a mistake — and that’s what she [Anton] has done.� Anton said she discussed the issue with Clark on Wednesday
morning and they agreed the expenditure for Les’ services was too high. The sudden reversal came as the appointment was being questioned by Metro Vancouver board chairman Greg Moore, who said it was inappropriate for Les to take the job while lobbying for the company that operates the Cache Creek landfill. Les has been a vocal opponent of Metro’s garbageincineration strategy and has lobbied
Environment Minister Mary Polak to reject Metro’s new wastedisposal bylaw that would end the practice of hauling garbage to cheaper landfills outside the Lower Mainland. “It doesn’t make any sense,� Moore said on Wednesday. “To now be representing government to work with us when he’s been so opposed to so much we’ve done — I don’t see how it can actually happen.� Les, who retired last year after 12

years as MLA, already has a three-year contract to chair the B.C. Farm Industry Review Board, which pays $60,000 a year. Anton had argued that Les had unique experience as a former mayor and head of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, as well as a former solicitor general in charge of B.C.’s emergencymanagement program.

Ottawa to contribute $220M Trudeau promises open Liberal to help Ukraine gain stability nomination meetings in all ridings OTTAWA — Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird says Canada will contribute $220 million to an international effort to stabilize the finances of the government of Ukraine. He said on Thursday, March 13, Canada is prepared to work with the European Union, the United States and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to help Ukraine. The minister said Ukraine seems to have enough money to keep afloat for a few months, giving the international community time to work out some solutions. Baird said it’s crucial to give economic support to Ukraine during its current tensions with Russia,
but Canada won’t be writing blank cheques. He said IMF advisers on the ground in Ukraine will make recommendations on what level of support the country needs. Baird also said Canada won’t recognize the Russian-backed referendum this weekend in Crimea, calling it an illegitimate stunt. Also on Thursday, Ukraine’s prime minister accused Rissoa of carrying out acts of “military aggression� which have “no reason and no grounds.� Russian troops now control Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula, where voters will decide Sunday whether to become part of Russia.
Rejecting Keystone is supporting Putin, U.S. senate told WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s former national-security adviser said rejecting the Keystone XL pipeline would be a gift to Vladimir Putin and a blow to U.S. efforts to achieve the elusive goal of energy independence. James Jones testified on Thursday, March 13, at a Senate hearing on whether approving the pipeline is in the U.S. national interest. He said energy scarcity is a powerful geopolitical weapon — as evidenced at various times in Iran and Venezuela, in Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait and in Osama bin Laden’s threats to attack energy infrastructure.
The latest example is Ukraine, he said, where the fear of higher gas prices from Russia have an effect not only on that country’s governance but also on the broader ability of Europe to impose sanctions. He said the world’s bullies are watching the Keystone debate and hoping to see the U.S. forgo opportunities for greater energy independence. He described Keystone as part of a larger North American energy boom, which he called a historic opportunity following decades of instability and foreign military adventures to protect oil sources. “If we want to make Mr. Putin’s day and strengthen his hand, we should reject
Keystone,’’ Jones said. “Why would the United States spend billions of dollars and place our military personnel at risk to ensure the flow of energy half a world away — but neglect an opportunity to enable the flow of energy in our very own backyard creating jobs, tax revenue and greater security?’’ He said climate change requires action, but he doesn’t see how the Keystone pipeline determines that issue. The hearing is being held while the Obama administration determines whether the Alberta-to-Texas pipeline is in the U.S. national interest. A decision is expected within months.

OTTAWA — Justin Trudeau is launching a pre-emptive strike to prevent federal Liberals from using upcoming nomination contests to resume the toxic infighting that almost destroyed the party. His team has informed Christine Innes she will not be allowed to run for a Liberal nomination in any riding after receiving complaints her husband — former MP and junior cabinet minister Tony Ianno — has been using intimidation and bullying in a bid to pry support away from newly elected star recruit Chrystia Freeland. Barring Innes is intended to send a message to all Liberals, Ontario campaign co-chair David MacNaughton said. The party had revived under Trudeau and his team is determined to nip any resumption of infighting in the bud. “We’ve recruited thousands of new people to the party and if this is their first experience it will certainly turn them off,’’ MacNaughton said. MacNaughton informed Innes of the decision on Thursday, March 13, outlining the accusations against her campaign team. “Derogatory remarks were made to several young, enthusiastic Liberals about one of our leading MPs,’’ he said in an email to Innes. “Suggestions were made to volunteers that their future in the Liberal party would be in jeopardy if they were on the ‘wrong side’ in a nomination battle.’’ Trudeau has promised open nomination meetings in every riding, including

his own. But, those would-be contestants must first win the approval of the party’s “greenlight committee,’’ which has the power to block those who JUSTIN TRUDEAU don’t meet certain standards. For instance, prospective nominees who have yet to pay off past leadership campaign debts, such as David Bertschi and George Tkach, have been warned they’ll be blocked unless they can demonstrate a credible plan to retire their debts. The decision to veto Innes adds badmouthing other Liberals to the list of verboten attributes. MacNaughton acknowledged the decision will doubtless spark criticism Trudeau’s promise to hold open nominations is hollow, that his team is showing favouritism to ensure victory for the leader’s hand-picked star candidates. Innes wanted to run for the Liberal nomination in Trinity-Spadina, the downtown Toronto riding facing a byelection after Olivia Chow resigned Wednesday to run for mayor. Ianno represented the riding from 1993 until Chow beat him in 2006. Innes herself twice lost to Chow, in 2008 and 2011. — Canadian Press

‘Not a nice lady’
Alberta Tory backbencher quits over leadership of Premier Redford EDMONTON — A Tory backbencher in Alberta has announced he is leaving Premier Alison Redford’s caucus because he can no longer work with her. Len Webber told reporters in Calgary on Thursday, March 13, that Redford is disrespectful, a bully and “not a nice lady.’’ Redford has been facing a backlash from a $45,000 trip to South Africa for Nelson Mandela’s funeral. On Wednesday, March 12, after weeks of trying to weather the controversy, she said she had repaid the money. Webber had already announced his intention to seek the Conservative nomination in the new federal riding of Calgary Confederation. Webber said he now plans to sit as an Independent. The issue began last December, when Redford was invited to join Prime Minister Stephen Harper and other Canadian leaders on a federal flight to South Africa for Mandela’s funeral. Redford had, before entering politics, worked with Mandela to implement democratic reforms in South Africa. Redford filed $45,000 in expenses, which included $15,000 for taking the government plane to Ottawa in order to catch the Harper flight, plus firstclass air tickets to and from South Africa for her aide, Brad Stables, who was not allowed on Harper’s plane. In contrast, Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil, who did not take an aide along, filed expenses under $1,000 for his trip to the funeral. Other commercial flights were available that day but Redford’s staff said they feared the plane might get held up for de-icing in
-3 C weather in Toronto. And, rather than take Harper’s flight back, Redford also booked a $10,000 first-class air ticket in order to come home earlier for the swearing-in of her revamped cabinet. When the true costs surfaced weeks ago, Redford blamed her staff for not following the rules, then accepted the blame, but refused to pay the money back. She said she was on government business. The trip has become a symbol of what critics call Redford’s extravagant waste of taxpayers’ money and of her own sense of entitlement, with letter writers and cartoonists lampooning her as “Princess Alison.’’ On Wednesday, opposition leaders said Redford was paying back the money not out of sincerity but out of political calculation. In recent weeks, Redford’s government has been beset by regular revelations of other abuse of the government planes. Last week, Redford admitted she used the planes to fly her daughter’s friends around, and repaid the equivalent air fares of $3,100. There was a trip back on a government plane from a vacation in Palm Springs and a trip to Vancouver for a family funeral. This week has brought fresh revelations that, at times, Redford has flown on her own government plane while another half-empty government plane of other Progressive Conservative MLAs took off around the same time to the same destination. On Tuesday, the Wildrose revealed that Redford and two other ministers used the government plane to fly to Grande Prairie for a party fundraising dinner in 2012. — Canadian Press

PICKUP TRUCK HITS A SEMI TRUCK On March 11th at approximately 6:30 am, a hit & run took place on the 700 block of Landsdowne St., involving a pickup truck and a Tractor trailer unit carrying fuel. The Tractor trailer unit was westbound on Lansdowne St. just before 6th Ave, when the pickup truck sideswiped the trailer, then after the collision,
the truck accelerated westbound along Landsdowne St. The Semi driver was not hurt and did not follow the suspect vehicle, he just waited for the police to attend. The suspect vehicle is a white Ford F 150 pickup truck, Harley Davidson edition, the semi driver feels the truck was a 2007. This suspect vehicle will
have an extensive amount of damage on the passenger side of the vehicle. If you know the whereabouts of this suspect vehicle or someone has made inquiries about repairing this vehicle, please contact Crime Stoppers, you will remain anonymous and will never have to give a statement.
THIEVES STEAL HEADLIGHTS In a different twist in the early morning of Sunday March 9th, thieves went after a set of headlights form a pickup truck that was parked at a residence on Alder Ave. These lights are Rigid SR LED series and are rectangular in shape, with a value of over $1,500 dollars, these aftermarket lights would have been mounted to the bumper and hardwired to
the electrical system. The thieves obviously, knew the value of the lights and brought tools to remove the lights from the truck. Although it was late at night, the suspects would have been at the truck for some time, removing the lights, someone may have notice the suspicious activity. These lights are not unique to Kamloops but according to the
local stores not many of original Rigid lights are used due to the high cost but there many “knock off” lights you can buy on various web sites. If you have any information about this theft or may know the whereabouts of these lights, please contact Crime Stoppers, only your information will be used, never your name.

Ex-cop admits to gangsterism MONTREAL — An ex-Montreal police investigator broke down in tears Thursday after pleading guilty to a charge of gangsterism for selling sensitive information to criminal bikers. Benoit Roberge also pleaded guilty to a charge of breach of trust and said he became involved with the Hells Angels because a member of the gang threatened his family. The Crown noted Roberge continued to provide police information to Rene Charlebois
and that it was clear from their conversations the veteran officer was under the biker’s control. “My life is ruined,’’ Roberge, 50, said in a teary-eyed address to the court after the guilty pleas. “My message to police officers: If you feel alone in the turmoil and the pressure, ask for help and trust in a better solution.” Roberge is a former organized crime investigator who frequently testified as an expert on the Hells Angels at their
criminal trials. He is believed to have received about $125,000 from Charlebois in exchange for information, with most of the money being recovered by police after Roberge led them to it. Crown prosecutor Maxime Chevalier said the cost to taxpayers for Roberge’s transgressions could be anywhere from $400,000 to more than $1 million, although the exact amount might be impossible to determine.

Reyat loses appeal of perjury sentence Cummins backing Peterson VANCOUVER — Only two candidates are in the running for leadership of the BC Conservative Party, and one has just been endorsed by former leader John Cummins. Rick Peterson says Cummins and former Conservative MP Darrel Stinson are both backing him prior to the April 12 vote pitting Peterson against fellow leadership hopeful Dan Brooks. Cummins says Peterson’s message during the campaign has been “clear and unequivo-
“The offence was grave, and in comparison to other perjury cases, the sentence imposed was not unfit. The appeal is dismissed.’’ Reyat was given a nine-year sentence for lying 19 times during the trial that resulted in an acquittal of the two men accused of the 1985 airliner bombing that killed 329 people. Donaldson told the appeal court that Reyat — who has spent most of his adult life in prison — was remorseful about the bombing deaths and gained nothing when he lied at the trial. Crown lawyer Len Doust told the appeal hearing last November he doubted the man’s remorse.
Kelowna ski resort closed for season after chairlift accident
KELOWNA — The ski season is over for the operators of the Crystal Mountain Resort near West Kelowna, B.C., amid an investigation by the B.C. Safety Authority. General Manager Mike Morin announced Thursday that the authority’s investigation of the March 1 chairlift accident would likely continue into April. That would extend past the mountain’s planned closure, leaving the resort little option but to shut down early. Morin said they might have been able to open for one last weekend, but with the scope of the investigation, it seem unrealistic to try and rush the process. Four skiers were injured when the cable hauling the chairs jumped the tracks, sending three chairs plummeting to the ground at the mountain about 30 kilometres west of Kelowna. The 34-year-old woman was sent to hospital with broken ribs, a broken clavicle and damage to her vertebrae tips, while the other victims are recovering from various injuries ranging from a separated shoulder to bumps and bruises. Two ski patrollers, a husband and wife, were in one chair and a 45-year-old man rode another chair with a 16-year-old ski instructor when the lift cable dislodged from its track. “Our investigation is still underway and Crystal Mountain’s operating licence remains suspended pending the results of a full investigation,’’ safety authority spokesman Quinn Newcomb said this week. “We do not have an anticipated time-line on how long the investigation may take.’’ The machinery that keeps tension on the cable wasn’t working last week when safety officers tested the broken chairlift. The tensioning system ensures the haul rope stays tight while it moves and supports the chairs on the lift. It’s not yet clear what, if any, effect the nonfunctioning system had on the incident, said Newcomb. “We have been able to get the chairlift to an operational state and have been conducting dynamic tests in order to perform further analysis of the installation.’’ Part of the investigation is determining what caused an empty chair to strike the second tower and dislodge the haul cable, he said. — Canadian Press

VANCOUVER — Convicted Air India bomb maker Inderjit Singh Reyat has lost the appeal of his prison sentence for perjury in connection to his testimony at the bombing trial. A B.C. Appeal Court panel rejected the suggestion by his lawyer, Ian Donaldson, that the prison term should be shortened. “The sentencing judge properly weighed negating factors in the appellant’s professed remorse and his behaviour in prison,’’ Judge Edward Chiasson said on behalf of the panel during a brief hearing on Thursday, March 13. “The judge did not err in finding that denunciation was the proper governing factor in the circumstances of this case.

Outpouring of local support for Bozon By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
S
IX MONTHS AGO, Tim Bozon was riding the bus with his Kamloops Blazers’ teammates. Today, he’s in an induced coma and fighting for his life in Saskatoon, having been diagnosed with Neisseria meningitis on March 1 and admitted to Royal University Hospital. “It sounds like he’s got the worst possible kind, which is really unfortunate,” said Blazers’ forward Chase Souto, Bozon’s friend and former teammate. “It’s to a point where we don’t know what he’s going to be like when he comes out. It’s just the worst-case scenario.” There was positive news from Saskatoon Health Region in a Kootenay Ice press release on Thursday, March 13. “He remains in the intensive care unit (ICU), however, doctors have indicated his condition remains critical but stable and improving. He has been in an induced coma since being admitted to the ICU but doctors are now working to slowly wake him,” the press release reads. “His family has indicated that Tim has responded to verbal stimuli.” Blazers’ team doctor Sven Kip fielded questions from the media on Wednesday, March 12, and he was asked if it is possible to know how Bozon contracted the disease. “He may have had some contact with someone who is a carrier or someone who is a carrier touched something that he came into contact with, but it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack to try and figure out where it came from,” Kip said. “What’s most probable is that
KAMLOOPS
we’ll never know.” Kip gave insight on Bozon’s treatment. “If the coma is induced, it’s induced to try and protect his brain,” Kip said. The Blazers’ doctor was asked if the risk of brain damage or death increases with the length of time Bozon is in the coma. “Not necessarily if it’s wellmonitored,” he replied. The Ice and the Western Hockey League have done everything in their power to protect Kootenay’s players, with public-health officials reviewing the case to ensure all necessary precautions are taken and anyone who had direct contact with Bozon receives appropriate treatment. Kip said those most at risk of contracting the disease are his Kootenay teammates and his billet family, noting the chances of them catching the disease are very slim. “Untreated, meningitis can be fatal in a few hours. Even survivors can have severe consequences, including varying degrees of blindness, deafness, paralysis and mental retardation,” according to the Meningitis Research Foundation of Canada. The Blazers made a banner for fans to sign at the club’s final two regular-season home games this week. On Wednesday, there was immense support for the Bozon family at the table where the 4x8 banner was located at Interior Savings Centre, with more than 1,000 signatures being amassed during the Kamloops-Kelowna game. Fans have another chance to sign at ISC on Friday, March 14, when the Prince George Cougars are in town. The reverse side of the banner will likely be used, with

room running out on the front. KTW caught up with Blazer backer and billet mom Julie McKay when she was at the signing table. “This is incredibly sad and unexpected,” said McKay, a billet mom for 17 years, with Souto currently in her charge. “There is huge support. All those signatures are going to mean huge, huge, huge things for Timmy’s mom and dad.” The family has been inundated with messages on social media. “The whole hockey community is pulling for him,” Souto said. “When he wakes up, he’ll be pretty surprised with all the support he’s getting.” Bozon has an elder sister, Allison, and a younger brother, Kevin. They were raised by father, Philippe, and mother, Hélène, in Lugano, Switzerland. The Kootenay forward signed
a three-year contract with the Montreal Canadiens, who selected him in the third round of the NHL’s 2012 draft. Before being traded to the Ice, Bozon played 153 games over two seasons with the Blue and Orange, recording 75 goals and 169 points. The Blazers drafted Bozon in the 2011 CHL Import Draft. “He’s here a few months ago playing well in Kootenay and, next thing you know, he’s in the hospital,” Blazer forward Cole Ully said. “It’s crazy to think how fast things can change. It’s hard to believe right now.” Kamloops head coach Guy Charron, who coached Bozon as a Blazer, addressed the media on Wednesday night. “It’s devastating in the way that, sometimes, you really can’t control what’s going to happen to you in life,” Charron said. “We used it with the players at
one point: Someone is fighting for his life who is an ex-Blazer. Now, you have an opportunity to play a sport and enjoy it at a young age and you’re healthy. Make the best of it and don’t have any regrets. “Hopefully, there seems to be, at times, positive signs. We’ll keep our thoughts and prayers with him and his family and, hopefully, he can pull through it.”
Trust fund There have been many enquiries from individuals and organizations wanting to make donations to assist the family during this difficult time. The WHL has established a trust fund to assist the Bozon family with medical and rehabilitation costs as insurance coverage is limited. Details regarding the Tim Bozon Trust will be released by the WHL later this week.

Kanigan in gymnastics fast lane By Adam Williams adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Three times a week, Drew Kanigan takes the Coquihalla Highway from Merritt to Kamloops to train. He’s a passenger while his parents, Vince and Tanis Kanigan, drive to the Kamloops Gymnastics and Trampoline Centre (KGTC), where Drew puts in his 10 to 12 hours a week with coach Hisayoshi Takahashi. “Normally, I just zone out on the way here. We get through it,” Drew said. “But, it’s sometimes hard, yeah.” Drew is an artistic gymnast, competing in the parallel bars, pommel horse, high bar, rings, floor and vault events. He’s in his fourth year performing competitively and, at just 11 years old, he’s one of the province’s youngest athletes competing at an elite level. Young or not, he has the talent, having finished second overall in his division at the B.C. Winter Games in February. “He’s very talented, very dedicated, so he can compete at that level,” Takahashi, the KGTC’s head of the men’s artistic gymnastics program said. Mr. T., as he’s known at the KGTC, added Drew is already one of the top gymnasts in B.C. and has a bright future in the sport. This weekend, he’ll try to prove it, as the club hosts the 2014 Artistic Gymnastics B.C. Championships, Trampoline

Elite Canada, 2nd Trampoline Team B.C. Provincial Cup and the centre’s annual Wild West Fest. A total of 19 competitors will represent KGTC at the event, including Drew, Scott Nabata and trampoline gymnasts Mario Bruno and Emily Schmidt. Schmidt and Bruno are competing in Elite Canada for the first time in the centre’s history. More than 1,000 athletes will be on hand for the various events. Expected to be among the centre’s successful athletes this weekend, Drew said he’s a little nervous for what the competition will bring. He has set big goals, nonetheless. “I want to come top-three and make Westerns,” he said on Wednesday, March 12, his final practice day
before the event. The Western Canadian Championships will be held in Saskatoon from April 24 to April 26. The idea of meeting new athletes, seeing them perform and competing against them is what excites Drew about the Saskatchewan trip. “It would be a good experience to be there,” he said. Drew’s father described his son a very coachable, dedicated kid. When he competes, he has a level of focus that is unusual for his age. He also has some exceptional people to learn from, between Takahashi and Nabata. Vince said Nabata has been a mentor to Drew, with Sunday — the day he and Nabata are the only athletes in the gym — being the day Drew learns
the most. “He really looks up to Scott Nabata,” Vince said. “He’s always got pointers for Drew. It’s like Drew’s got two coaches.” Drew’s spread a little thin right now — he plays soccer, badminton at a provincial level and has been to the B.C. Championships for cross-county skiing. The day will come when he will need to narrow his interests, focusing on one sport over the others. Right now, though, he’s hoping to have one more year to dabble in a bit of everything. Should he choose to focus on gymnastics, Drew’s future is bright. “For future, he’ll be a national team member, I’m sure, if he moves to Kamloops,” Takahashi said.

Racers speed to medals Podium finishes and personal-best times made the provincial short-track speedskating championships an event to remember for Finn Bogetti-Smith and Eric Spence of the Kamloops River City Racers. Skating in the open learn-to-train division, 10-year-old BogettiSmith won silver medals in the 200-metre and 1,500m races and placed third in the 400m at provincials, held in Burnaby on the weekend.

RONALD “RON” PETER BOHN July 6, 1944 – March 11, 2014
JOHN MILBERS 1955-2014
The family & friends of John Milbers are deeply saddened at his passing March 2, 2014. To all who knew him, John (Freak) was known as a true free spirit. He touched many lives with his non-judgmental spirit, unconditional acceptance of all. John gave us the amazing gift of allowing us to be at ease, to be ourselves in his presence. We will remember him for his kind, unpretentious nature, his big heart, easy smiles, and whole body laughs. John will be greatly missed by his dad Peter, brother Kim, niece Annette and family, niece Tina and family and many friends. On Sunday March 16th between 1:00 and 4:00 friends are welcome to gather to have a drink in John’s honour at the McCracken’s Pub in Valleyview.
It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Ron Bohn on March 11, 2014. Ron is lovingly remembered by his wife Judy of nearly 49 years, son Michael of Fort St. John and daughter Marilyn (Alex) of Kamloops. Also left to mourn are grandchildren Reece, Megan (Matt), Tyler, Brannon, Emily and Morgan, great-granddaughter Maria, nieces and nephews, as well as many friends and relatives and his beloved cat, Snuff y. Ron is predeceased by his father, George and his mother, Tillie. Ron had a strong work ethic and was employed at Highland Valley Copper for 35 years. After his retirement, you could find him puttering in his workshop and he was known as the neighbourhood handyman. He also loved to spend his time in his garden and to be out in his boat fishing. He was an unselfish, inspiring man with strong beliefs. He had a sense of humour like no other and he was never reluctant to share his opinions on politics. If you were to ask him what his biggest accomplishment was in his life, I believe he would say it was his family and being able to provide for them. His family meant the world to him, and even when he got ill, his family was still his main priority until his final breath.
A life too short, but a life well-lived. We would like to thank Dr. Gabriel, Dr. Thomasse and Marissa, Dr. Van Heerden and Dr. Tevendale and all the wonderful nurses and staff at the Kamloops Cancer Clinic and at RIH 6 South. To all the angels at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House, a huge sense of gratitude and appreciation for making Ron’s final days of this journey as peaceful and as comfortable as possible. For all of the friends and family that visited, called and shared this journey with Ron, we cannot thank you enough for your support and love. A Celebration of Ron’s Life will be held on March 15th, 2014 at 2pm at the Holiday Inn Hotel and Suites, 675 Tranquille Road, Kamloops, BC. Should friends or family desire donations in Ron’s name may be made to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House 72 South Whitesheild Crescent, Kamloops V2E 2S9.

May 31, 1921 - March 10, 2014 Things my Father taught me: respect, a work ethic, humor, the meaning of a handshake, honesty, kindness and most importantly . . . how to fish! Dad left us on Monday, March 10th, 2014, leaving a hole in our hearts that can never be filled. He was always known as a kind and generous spirit, a true gentleman. His infectious smile, gentle nature and twinkling blue eyes will be missed every day.
My heart is full of memories. With pride I speak your name. Though life goes on without you, It will never be the same. Forever loved and always missed.
Born and raised in Elk Point Alberta, Dad was the second youngest of 12 children born to Marius and Dena Jepson. He came to Blue River in his late teens and worked throughout BC in the logging industry. Returning to Blue River he married the beautiful Rose Fedoruk. Dad joined Trans Mountain Oil Pipeline in 1955, moving to Kamloops a year later. He would remain with Trans Mountain until his retirement in 1981. Dad was an avid fisherman who loved nothing more than to spend his days walking the banks of the Thompson and Clearwater Rivers. He knew all the best fishing spots. Today he is reunited with, as he so often said, “His best fishing partner”, his adored wife Rose who proceeded him in 1988. In the last few years Dad developed the enjoyment of travel and with his friend Shirley Larsen, they enjoyed cruises to Alaska, bus tours along the Oregon Coast, Las Vegas and the ever favourite, Silver Reef and Tulalip. Bobby played a mean hand of poker. Bob is survived by his daughter Sandra, son-in-law Dean Kutschera, grandchildren Matt and Jenna and sister, Helen Jarmoluk (Michael) and numerous nieces and nephews. No formal service will be held. Remember Bob in your own special way and always with a fishing rod in his hand, a cap on his head and a smile on his face. Special thanks to Dr. Sigalet, all the compassionate and caring staff at Ponderosa who made Dad’s last weeks so comfortable, Scotty his four legged buddy and to Active Care Seniors Service who have been such a support to our family over the last 8 months. In lieu of flowers please made a donation to the Alzheimer Society or Heart and Stroke Foundation in Bob’s memory.

He is lovingly remembered by his wife of 54 years, Anita, son-in-law Marvyn Fitzpatrick of Kamloops, BC, daughter Brigitte (Dave) DeAngelis and son Ken (Colette) Vincent of 100 Mile House, B.C., daughters Lou-Anne (Dan) Marshall and Anissa (Richard) Pelland of Kamloops, BC His treasured grandchildren: Alyse and Keenan Fitzpatrick, Natasha & Mallory DeAngelis, Kalen (Terlyn) and Dakota Vincent, Danny (Nicole) Furer, Maria Thompson, Nathan, Jackson, and Liam Marshall, Hannah and Deklan Pelland; beautiful great-granddaughters Aiyana and Nova as well as numerous extended family members. He was pre-deceased by his daughter, Connie Fitzpatrick; infant grand-daughter, Morgan Fitzpatrick, as well as parents and six siblings. Dad was born on October 4, 1937 in St. Georges, MB to Alphonse and Eugenie Vincent; he was the eldest of ten children. In 1953, he met the love of his life, Anita Guimond. Mom was taken by his beautiful blue eyes and gentle personality; there was no turning back and they were married on September 12, 1959. Their love for each other carried our family through many joys, trials and challenges and we are so thankful for their devotion to each other. In July, 1973, Dad left his farm and job at Pine Falls Abitibi Pulp and Paper Mill and courageously moved his family across the prairies to 100 Mile House, BC in search of a better life that would allow him more time to spend with his family. This wish was fulfilled and we are all so thankful for our shared memories of outdoor activities, watching and listening to sports, laughing and just enjoying the company of family. Dad was also a very skilled woodworker and our homes display much of his handiwork. Dad was employed at Weldwood Sawmill in 100 Mile House for 24 Years and retired in 1998. He made many friends through the Knights of Columbus and was granted an honourary lifetime membership. In 2003, Mom and Dad moved to Kamloops, BC for milder winters and to be closer to their younger grandchildren. Here they enjoyed a few years in Westsyde and then Ponderosa Place where he looked forward to playing bingo and cards with friends. He also enjoyed taking chances with scratch tickets and outings to play Keno. Dad had an incredible work ethic and was patient, kind and very devoted to mom and his family. He was a man of few words and when he did choose to provide input, it was generally humorous and profound. Our family would like to thank Fr. Paul and Fr. Peter for their visits during Dad’s final days; the great care and compassion of the wonderful staff at Overlander Extended Care; Dr. Mahmood for his care and attention, and numerous friends and family for their support, love and prayers through this difficult time. A funeral service for Bert will be held on Saturday, March 15 at 11am at Holy Family Parish with Fr. Paul and Fr. Fred officiating. Interment to follow at a later date. Service arrangements entrusted to Schoening Funeral Services; condolences and memories can be sent to www.schoeningfuneralservice.com
The Angel On Your Shoulder
May 11, 1935 - March 12, 2014 It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Joseph Jurgen Nucklaus. He passed away peacefully at Overlander Extended Care in Kamloops, B.C. on March 12, 2014 at 78 years of age. Joseph is lovingly remembered by his beloved wife Maureen, daughters Heidi and Kirstin, cousins Rolf Sopp, Hartmut Nucklaus, Hanna Wellerdieck, Dieter Goetze, Hans Karl Groneweg, as well as by many friends and other relatives. In particular, Joseph is missed by Frank, Neil, David, and Richard Byce, Katherine and Roger Gallant, Danny and Janice Phillips, and their families. He was predeceased by his parents, Friedrich and Greta Nucklaus. Joseph was born May 11, 1935 in Siegen, Germany, and immigrated to Canada in 1957. He and Maureen were married in Espanola, Ontario in November, 1960. They moved to Labrador City, where Joe was employed by The Iron Ore Company of Canada, in 1962. The family found their life long passion for skiing there. Joe moved his young family to British Columbia in 1973. He knew he’d found the place he wanted to live the rest of his life. Joe retired from William Machinery in 1993 after working there for many years as a heavy duty mechanic and service manager. Joseph was a man of great resilience and indomitable spirit. He lived through the 2nd World War as a very young child. He lost both his parents and grandparents at a very young age. Joe always had a belief that whatever happened everything would turn out for the better. He came to Canada as a 22 year old; seeking adventure. He fell in love with Maureen and Canada. He knew he was home. Joseph was devoted to his family and a dear friend to many. He was much loved for his sense of humour, compassion and generosity of spirit. He had a great love of the outdoors as an avid skier and accomplished gardener. Joe was a dedicated volunteer at Sun Peaks, for 16 years as a Sun Guide and as the timer for the Friday races with his buddies Jim Freathy and Shorty Stiles. Singing was a great passion of his; one he shared with members of the German community in the Leider Kreiss choir. He loved ballroom dancing, in particular Strauss waltzes. Joe lived life to the fullest, which he did with great joy. He was happiest when sharing a laugh and good times with family and friends. The family would like to thank Jody and Jim Sloper, Helen Morrison, Sharon Hoodicoff, Debbie Thomson, Dorothea Coughlin, Jim and Diane Freathy, Jim and Joan Moffat, Ken and Joyce Beck and Al and Bonnie Michel for visiting Joe at Ponderosa and Overlander. We would also like to thank Jack Buckham for his support through this difficult time. We are eternally grateful for the loving and compassionate care received from Dr. Kraig Montalbetti and the staff at Overlander Extended Care. Joe received the best care possible. The care aides and nursing staff were genuine and truly caring. A Celebration of Life will be held on Thursday, March 20, 2014 at 1:00 p.m. in the Schoening Funeral Chapel, 513 Seymour Street. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Joe’s memory to Overlander Extended Care, 953 Southill Street, Kamloops, BC V2B 7Z9. Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

By Jackie Huston Lena, Wisconsin
Maureen Laird June 30, 1950 March 16, 2013 Her Journey’s Just Begun Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun. Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away, And think of her as living, In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much. ~ E. Brenneman
From your loving family.
There’s an angel on your shoulder Though you may not know she’s there, She watches over you day and night And keeps you in her care. There’s an angel on your shoulder Watching you learn and grow Keeping you safe from danger And nurturing your soul. She’ll be there through your triumphs She’ll dance on clouds with pride, She’ll hold your hand through disappointments and fears, Standing faithfully by your side. In her lifetime this angel was strong and true, And stood up for what was right. In your life you’ll be faced with decisions and trials And she’ll shine down her guiding light. Life holds so much in store for you, So remember as you grow older, There are no heights you cannot reach ‘Cause there’s an angel on your shoulder.

Five-star feast in April
Crabfest, at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre. As befits such an event, dress is casual — beach-theme attire is encouraged — and, unlike all those cute dog versus crab YouTube videos people are wont to share on social media, the dogs at this event won’t be barking but entertaining, as the Serious Dogs rule the stage. All funds raised go toward the club’s service projects, scholarships and local agencies, including the Rotary Foodbank Drive, the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice House, the Boys and Girls Club of Kamloops and Ribfest. Tickets are $75 each
Adapted performance Dave Symington knows what life is like when it’s spent in a wheelchair. The co-founder of Vancouver Adapted Music Society — he plays electronic drums wearing unique Velcro gloves to hold the sticks — he’s also a writer and heavily involved in his community. Symington is also the lone actor in Re-Calculating, a play by Vancouver playwright Lucas Foss. It’s the sort of a middle-aged man who has been a quadriplegic since an accident when he was 19. Students in the education and skillstraining program at Thompson Rivers
Saturday, April 12, will be a crabby day in Kamloops. It’s the day the city’s Daybreak Rotary Club hosts its annual fundraiser, Bean’n
University are bringing the play to Kamloops for two performances on Thursday, March 27, and Friday, March 28, at 12:30 p.m. in the Irving K. Barber Centre in the House of Learning at TRU.

Calling all Emerging Artists
4102 2014
The Karla Pearce Art Gallery is hosting its second annual Juried Emerging Artist Show opening on May 3. Last year, the downtown gallery had 70 entries of artwork from artists ranging in age from four to 90. All the pieces were juried by a panel of prominent Kamloopsians who are non-artists, but definitely art enthusiasts. Pearce decided against having artists jury other artists’ work because she wanted a clean impartial look at the art work. “I have been on both sides of the jury process, which normally involves professional artists critiquing or scoring other artists work,” Pearce said. “This places professional artists in a position to judge amateur artists. I really wanted to avoid that, which is why it was so important to me to create an impartial jury.” All participants receive hand-written comments by the
2014 POSTER
WINNER
jurors about their art work. This year jurors are: • Susan Edgell, weather and Midday host at CFJC-TV; • Christopher Foulds, editor of Kamloops This Week; • Sam Numsen, producer with Shaw TV; • Donald Bennett, fine-arts co-ordinator with the Kamloops-Thompson school district; • Cara Graden, arts, culture and heritage co-ordinator with the City of Kamloops The call for art goes out to artists of all ages, novice or professional. Anyone who creates art is invited to show their work. The gallery is looking for entries of any artistic medium in any style. The only limitation is a size restriction due to limited space in the venue. The May 3 grand opening will feature live music, food (chocolate fountain) and an awards ceremony with ribbons
and trophies. In the adult category, there will be first-, second- and third-place prizes. The children’s category is non-competitive and all the kids will receive a ribbon. Artists are encouraged to attend early as last year there was a line-up to enter the event. The Karla Pearce Gallery is accepting submissions of artwork from artists of all ages. Creations can be dropped off at the gallery, 607 Victoria St., between April 22 and April 25. There is a $35 entry fee for adults and a $10 fee for children. The May 3 Juried Emerging Artist Show grand opening will take place from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.. The exhibit will then run until May 17. For more information, call 250-828-2032 or go online to karlapearcegallery.com.

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

BIG money in BIG data There’s money in Big Data. Lecturers who presented a talk recently at Big Little Science Centre outlined the history of digital memory and its future — including in the biological sciences. “Data is collected every minute of time,” said Mridula Sharma, a sessional instructor at Thompson Rivers University’s computing-science faculty. “We need specialized people to collect it and analyze it for the benefit of society.” Sharma was the final of three speakers to present in the lecture on digital memory and data. Sandwiched between Sharma and Kwiatkowska, also from TRU’s computing-science
department, was biology lecturer Joanna Urban. What do the disciplines have in common? Not only is the human body a storehouse of data through the genetic code, but the future of digital memory is expanding so rapidly that Kwiatkowska predicted in the next decade it will be possible to store 100,000 gigabytes of data on a tiny amount of bacteria. That compares to 40 years ago, when computer servers the size of a car were needed to store five megabytes of data — a tiny fraction of what’s found today on a typical smartphone. Storage of digital data was done on paper until the mid-
NOW OPEN!
1970s, through punched cards. Today, households have terabytes of memory on home computers. On the horizon, Kwiatkowska said, are petabytes, exabytes and zettabytes of memory. The ability to store and analyze data — from digital photos to texts and web pages — will present economic opportunity in the future, the lecturers predicted. “We don’t want this data to go to waste,” Sharma said. Students able to mine and interpret data will come from departments including computing science and business analytics and marketing, Sharma said

LOCAL VIEWS
History repeating itself (going broke saving money)
O
NE OF the oldest maxims out there is “History repeats itself� — and this would be an apt way to describe societal views about institutional care, crime and mental illness. Governments and societies take a “problem-solving� approach to issues and, when this happens, more problems are created than solved. Back in the 19th century, Charles Dickens wrote about the impact of debtors’ prison on individuals and families and many scholars believe Dickens’ own mental illness was largely attributable to being separated from his family when his father went to debtors’ prison. It took a while, but governments and “experts� decided that
not only was prison ineffective for the crime of debt, it was more expensive to society than writing off the original debt. In the 20th century, Western civilizations began to de-institutionalize mentally ill people. Places like Riverview were seen as cruel and inhumane treatment centres (read: “Expensive� in government terms) and were quite rapidly dismantled, with the stated belief mental illness was best treated in the community and where patients could enjoy the support and care of their families. In the kindest possible terms possible, community treatment
not my budget, it’s not my problem.�) So, without any intention or desire, and without a public policy platform to guide it, government reshaped old institutions and created new institutions for the mentally ill — only they were not called “hospitals,� they were called “prisons.� To be fair, no mentally ill person was incarcerated without having broken the law but, given that many mentally ill people are above-average in intelligence, they quickly learned that breaking a window, punching a police officer or being a public nuisance would get them some time off the streets and into a warm, safe place, where they were fed three meals a day. A new mental-health asylum was born. (read: Not a cost sav-
did not develop at the same pace as patients were discharged from facilities and the public bemoaned the fact that institutions, although not ideal, seemed to be better than what was taking place at that time. The problem of expensive mental asylums in crumbling old buildings needing a lot of work (read: Money) to update was solved. The new problems were now public nuisance, homelessness, increased petty crime, increased traffic through the courts and higher incarceration rates. But, come on, we did solve the problem of high mental-hospital costs! (read: “If it’s
ing to be had.) Studies done in the United States and in Canada reveal that more than half of the prison population has a serious mental illness. When you add the people incarcerated in North America for addiction reasons (using crime to support their habits, drunk-driving, etc.) the number is higher. So, how is history repeating itself? Government continues its methods of going broke in order to save money. Again, it is not the inhumanity or the stupidity of these activities that are criticized, but the cost. Prisons are overcrowded and new ones are being planned and built. Prisons may be the most expensive mental hospitals, homeless shelters and detox

A train ride through beautiful Borneo By Chris McBeath SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com
A
S THE WHISTLE blows, we are ushered aboard the North Borneo Train and, immediately, we have stepped back in time. Within minutes, the station master calls “all aboard” and the wood-burning British Vulcanengine hisses steam into the morning sunshine and heralds our departure. Slowly we begin to move, rumbling over the tracks out of the Tanjung Aru Station in Kota Kinabalu toward the steamy Borneo countryside. The Vulcan is the last in a fleet of locomotives that has plied these tracks since the late 1800s although nowadays, it carries mainly sightseers — adventurers of a gentler kind. As a collaborative venture between Sutura Harbour Resort and the Sabah State Railway, the
train has been renovated to reflect a bygone era. It comprises five colonial-style passenger carriages, each carrying 16 people. Seats are comfortable upholstered benches that have been embellished with the original logo design — a tiger standing on the royal crown. Light fixtures are nostalgic, wood trim is extravagant and while overhead fans fend off the everpresent equatorial humidity, you wait for speed to gather so a soft wind breezes through the open-air windows. Through them, the familiar clackety-clack sounds seem amplified and, as we travel along the tracks of time, the Borneo countryside unfolds. We hug the coast of Kinarut with Lokawi Bay stretching out into the South China Sea. Edging away from the road, we pass a Buddhist temple near the foothills of Mount Kinabalu and come to a near stop when a water buffalo meanders across the tracks.
“Cool lemonade?” asks our steward, dressed in crisp, colonial whites. Throughout the trip, we are waited on hand and foot and enjoy a delicious tiffin-styled meal. Served in traditional tiffin boxes, the meal typifies the service style of yesteryear. It is a unique culinary experience with a variety of Malaysian delights from curried fish to gingered chicken and sliced papaya. Before long, we’re travelling through mangrove swamps. Knitted together beneath the water, the mangroves rise up in a tangled landmass where monitor lizards laze and leeches are all too common. Seedpods hang from the leafy branches like long runner beans about to dive into the water, where they take root and spread the land out still further. The forests here grow so dense, explorers create whistles out of the hollowed-out pods, blowing them to keep tabs on each other’s whereabouts.
Whistler Seniors’ Spring Celebration
As we pass a palm-oil plantation, my imagination drifts back in time. It goes to the turn-of-thecentury, when adventuresome Englishmen cut into the wilds of untamed land and endured malaria, leeches and the threat of headhunters to create vast plantations — and fortunes— from coffee, coconut, tobacco, ramen and cocoa. Those were the heady days of the White Rajahs. Suddenly, the mangrove forests open up and we’re riding past houses teetering on stilt foundations and paddy fields scattered with farmers harvesting grasses from the knee-high water. Their large conical hats match their wicker baskets like some agricultural fashion statement. Then, the train merges with the historic 450-metre-long Pengalat Tunnel, crosses the Papar River over a steel trestle bridge and finally reaches Papar, known as the Rice Bowl of Sabah. But, for all the sights we have seen, what lies before April 14 4 days

us is truly breathtaking. Built atop the shores of Kimanis Bay, the scene along the track looks to carve its way through the yellow sand like steel through butter. It’s all positioned alongside a sea and a sky tinted with peaches of a late afternoon sun. National Geographic would die for the scene. In a country that hosts more than 30 indigenous groups speaking over 80 dialects, Malaysia’s multi-cultural mosaic is as intriguing as it is colorful. Most visitors are hard-pressed to experience them all. However, with the North Borneo Railway, at least there’s a way to appreciate that diversity from its cities to its fields, riding an echo of time close enough to touch.
