This pair of four-yearold Grizzly bears made quick work of opening garbage receptacles, using brute force to pop open a screw-topped garbage lid and pry the top back from a zap-strapped container. The demonstration yesterday focused on the importance of practising good bear-aware practices when placing garbage at the curbside. The demonstration was co-ordinated by Frank Ritcey of WildSafe BC and the BC Wildlife Park.

A B.C. Supreme Court justice has dismissed a series of claims against a former Kamloops Immigrant Society executive director, instead levelling some of the blame on then-president Bernard Igwe for what was termed a “toxic workplace.”

Kamloops-Cariboo Regional Immigrants Society (KIS) originally sought $360,000 in damages from Wanda Herman, lowering that claim to $155,000 at trial.

Instead, it must shoulder Herman’s legal costs after a lengthy legal process culminating in a trial. Three years ago, directors acknowledged legal fees from the tumultuous period cost the taxpayer-funded society well over $100,000.

Herman was represented by Kamloops lawyer John Drayton.

KIS allegations included that Herman wrongly tried to overthrow the board when she was duty bound to serve it; that she made harmful comments about Igwe in an email; breached confidentiality; and acted maliciously.

Those allegations were dismissed.

“Clearly, Mrs Herman is providing her honestly held opinion in a matter of public interest,” Justice Martha Devlin wrote in her 51-page decision of comments attributed to Herman in 2009 newspaper stories.

“I am satisfied that Mrs. Herman did not make her comments in malice and honestly believed them to be true. Accordingly, the defence of fair comment would apply.”

Herman was first hired in early 2007, inheriting an office Devlin said was “in a state of disarray.”

In 2008, a new board headed by Igwe, a Thompson Rivers University professor, was voted in. It included city lawyer and current NDP candidate Bill Sundhu, who testified for the society during the trial this year.

“In my view, I find the evidence established that Mr. Igwe’s management approach contributed to the alienation between the board and Mrs. Herman and the employees,” she wrote.

Much of the trial focused on what witnesses for the plaintiff — board members — complained was a campaign by Herman to undermine and overthrow it.

Igwe testified his reputation was damaged by the actions of Herman. That included a letter from Herman alleging sexual, gender and personal harassment against employees.

Devlin said Igwe, instead, was “aggressive” toward Herman.

While Herman was involved an attempt to establish a new board, Devlin said she did that out of a belief it was best for the society itself.

Herman and six other KIS employees were eventually fired.

“While Ms. Herman did not like Mr. Igwe, I did not find that her actions were the result of a personal vendetta against him. Rather, Ms. Herman had genuine concerns with the function and role of the board . . . A reasonable person could agree that replacing the board may mitigate the toxic work environment and improve the society as a whole.”

Devlin found some of Herman’s comments about Igwe were defamatory. However, they are protected under law by the defences of justification and fair comment.

The society settled an earlier claim of sexual harassment for $36,000 made by former employee Deborah Harrison against another former board member.

DO I NEED A WRITTEN CONTRACT? There was a time where a handshake was as good as any contract. Still today, a written contract is not necessarily better than a verbal agreement, but a verbal one may be vague, misunderstood or incomplete.

Assume you own a clothing store and a customer wants to order a coat you don’t have in stock. You inform them that you can order their size in at no extra charge. This works for the customer as long as it is received within two weeks. When the coat arrives, you call the customer and they tell you they didn’t agree to have the coat ordered.

Is the customer lying? Or did you misunderstand them? Unfortunately there is no written record that supports your version of the events.

B.C. Liberals accused of deleting emails TOM FLETCHER

BLACK PRESS

tfletcher@blackpress.ca

A former executive assistant to Transportation Minister Todd Stone alleges senior staff intentionally deleted emails regarding the Highway of Tears.

The B.C. NDP is calling for an investigation in the wake of missing records they have been seeking on Highway 16 in northern B.C. NDP MLAs produced letters from a former assistant to Stone, who says a supervisor deleted emails from his computer to keep them from being considered for a freedom of information (FOI) request.

A history of missing and murdered women along the remote highway from Prince George to Prince Rupert led to a series of community meetings last year.

Opposition critics have been demanding records from the meetings, and calling for additional bus service along the highway to keep vulnerable people from hitch-hiking.

Former executive assistant Tim Duncan wrote to B.C. Privacy Commissioner

Elizabeth Dunham yesterday, saying his supervisor told him to delete a dozen of his emails in November 2014 after an FOI request came to the ministry.

“When I hesitated, he took away my keyboard, deleted the emails and returned the keyboard stating, ‘It’s done. Now you don’t have to worry about it any more’,” Duncan wrote to Denham.

Confronted with the letter in question period yesterday, Premier Christy Clark said records should not be deleted once an FOI request is made.

Citizens’ Services Minister Amrik Virk said not every email is considered a government record.

Stone said he intends to have a “frank” discussion with his ministerial assistant George Gretes about the accusation that Gretes deleted the emails.

In an email to NDP Leader John Horgan’s office, Duncan acknowledged he had no evidence of the incident or the content of the deleted messages. He said he blew the whistle on the Highway 16 incident because his own father was murdered in a domestic inci-

dent in 2010, and he believes the families of missing and murdered people “deserve better.”

North Coast NDP MLA Jennifer Rice said she was “appalled” when she heard about the allegations.

“I am utterly appalled that the BC Liberals would go to such lengths to hide information about the Highway of Tears. This has huge implications as to the government’s failure to address the real life safety issues for women who are traveling on Highway 16,” Rice stated after question period.

“This blatantly shows how the BC Liberals are disrespecting the memory of each woman who has gone missing or been murdered along the Highway of Tears.”

Duncan was appointed to his job in October 2014.

He told the NDP he left “the cesspool that is the B.C. government in March” and reported to Denham that he believes abuse of the FOI process is “widespread and most likely systemic within the Clark government.”

Cache Creek Mayor Jon Ranta said his village has every intention of being ready for Graffiti Days.

The 28th annual event, a celebration of 1950s and 1960s cars and rock-and-roll music, is scheduled to roll into town from June 12 to June 14.

Despite the destruction and devastation of last weekend’s storm, Ranta is confident the village will be ready.

“Everybody’s working intensely to recover from the disaster,” he said.

Though cleanup has progressed quickly, it’s far from over as a number of residences remain unoccupied around Cache Creek, according to the mayor. Officials are continuing to assess damage in order to determine when residents will be allowed to return to their homes.

Yesterday, evacuation details were revised by the Village of Cache Creek. Evacuation orders were rescinded for more than a dozen properties around the community, but remained in place for areas of Stage Road and the Riverside Mobile Home Park.

Evacuation alerts were rescinded for areas west of the Bonaparte River and North of Todd Road, as well as a property on Stage Road.

Ranta said about 100 people have registered at emergency

social services. Roughly 23 homes were subject to evacuation orders earlier in the week, a number reduced to four yesterday.

The damage to the community, including residential homes and public infrastructure, is about $5 million, if not more, Ranta said.

“When you lose four or five or six homes, that’s very significant,” he said. “The damage to Stage Road and other infrastructure in the community — that all adds up very quickly.”

Earlier this week, B.C. Premier Christy Clark toured the damage done by the flash flood, calling the devastation “unbelievable.”

The violent storm dumped 30 to 40 millimetres of rain on the village in less than an hour last Saturday.

After touring the area on Tuesday morning, Clark said the community is resilient and the B.C. government will help in the recovery effort as much as possible.

“This is a desert community.

They haven’t seen anything like this in — nobody can remember in at least a hundred years,” Clark said.

Disaster Financial Assistance (DFA) has been made available by the province for homeowners, residential tenants, small business owners, farmers, charitable organizations and local governments who were unable to obtain insurance coverage for disaster-related losses.

DFA provides funding for

80 per cent of the total eligible damage that exceeds $1,000, to a maximum of $300,000. The money covers essential, nondiscretionary items.

The Canadian Red Cross has also stepped in to operate a resiliency centre in Cache Creek until June 2.

Meanwhile, the Kamloops Salvation Army is accepting donations for the community and has been in Cache Creek for most of the week.

Capt. Lisa Trickett said the organization handed out more than 600 bottles of water in three days in the village. The hot-meal truck has been on site all week, too, providing residents and workers with food as the cleanup continues.

The organization is continuing to collect donations at its North Shore thrift store — 533 Tranquille Rd. in North Kamloops — particularly nonperishable food items.

Trickett said the Salvation Army is continuing to assess the need on site.

Once all of the residents have been allowed to returned to their homes, it will determine if there is need for furniture or household goods that can be fulfilled from its thrift store.

The village of Cache Creek is also accepting donations to help individuals impacted by the storm. To donate, go online to cachecreekvillage.com and click on the Flood Fundraiser tab.

Accused in shooting of Mountie may enter pleas TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The man accused of shooting a Kamloops Mountie during a traffic stop in December could enter pleas within the next two weeks.

Ken Knutson made a brief appearance in Kamloops provincial court on Thursday, where defence lawyer Alexander Watt asked for a two-week adjournment to allow time to go over evidence.

“We want to arraign this matter, but we need some time for Mr. Knutson to go over his disclosure,” Watt said.

Knutson, 36, appeared by video from a jail in Surrey. He is charged with a raft of serious offences,

including attempted murder, stemming from the Dec. 3 shooting of RCMP Cpl. Jean-Rene Michaud.

Michaud was shot while conducting a traffic stop on a vehicle in Batchelor Heights. Knutson was arrested following an exhaustive manhunt that lasted more than 12 hours.

A convicted killer with a lengthy criminal history and ties to Lower Mainland drug gangs, Knutson is due back in court for an arraignment hearing on June 11.

Michaud, meanwhile, is recovering from his injuries at home.

RCMP brass launched their own internal probe into the shooting, with an eye to preventing similar incidents from occurring in the future.

Sheriff pricked by needle A deputy sheriff is undergoing medical treatment after being pricked by a needle while searching a bag this week at the Kamloops Law Courts.

The sheriff was searching the bag of

an admitted intravenous drug user on Wednesday when a needle broke through his search glove and contacted his finger.

It did not break skin, but did leave an imprint.

The woman told sheriffs she has hepatitis C and HIV. The sheriff went to Royal Inland Hospital for treatment and has been placed on a post-exposure drug cocktail.

Psychiatric patient found A patient who walked away from Kamloops’ Hillside Psychiatric Centre has been apprehended in Kelowna.

Conrad Zunti, who Kamloops Mounties described as being potentially dangerous, left the centre adjacent to Royal Inland

Hospital earlier this week.

Kelowna RCMP received several calls on Wednesday about possible sightings and were finally called to an address on Yates Road at 11 p.m., from where Zunti was taken to Kelowna General Hospital.

THE HOT AND NOT OF THE WEEK Kamloops This Week looks at the stories of the week — the good, the bad and all in-between:

HOT: India — literally.

The southern part of the country is sweating through a heat wave of epic proportions, with the death toll pegged at more than 1,500 as of yesterday.

According to The Guardian, the mercury in the state of Telangana reached a ridiculous 48 C (118 F) this week, which would be the 20thhottest temperature ever recorded on Earth.

The record is 56.7 C (134 F), which was measured on July 10, 1913, in the appropriately named Death Valley, Calif.

NOT: The miscreant(s) who rolled a dead bear in a shower curtain and dumped the bruin in a downtown Kamloops alley this week.

How the animal died is being investigated, but the manner in which it was disposed is disturbing.

The surprise discovery by a West End resident who contacted KTW is a good reminder for people to call the Ministry of Environment’s Report all Poachers and Polluters (RAPP) line at 1-877-952-7277 with information on this or other questionable incidents.

OUR

VIEW

HOT: The anonymous donor who gathered $50,000 to be used to fix the Kamloops Cenotaph in Memorial Park downtown.

Clocks on the Cenotaph have not worked for many years and bringing the monument into Pacific Daylight time will be among the improvements made to the imposing edifice that honours those in Kamloops who have given their lives for Canada.

Of boycotts and viewpoints

I

n an echo of a discussion two years ago, there is some talk of boycotting businesses owned by those who have signed a letter supporting KGHM Ajax and its proposed copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen.

The letter of support was signed by 42 people and sent to various politicians.

Among those signing the letter were Plainsman Construction Ltd. president Jim Thomson, former City of Kamloops CAO Randy Diehl, Olympian Dylan Armstrong and Subway restaurants owner Graydon Flanagan.

Oddly enough, the letter also contains the signature of Kamloops Blazers owner Tom Gaglardi, not exactly preferred ammunition in a debate about environmental impact considering he was convicted in December of two counts of harmful alteration of a fish habitat in Kamloops Lake.

There are also signatures from real-estate agents — including Vince Cavaliere, Brendan Shaw, Frank Rossi and Ed Barker — which offers an interesting counter to those on the anti-Ajax side who claim the mine will negatively affect home sales.

On the Stop Ajax Mine Facebook page, there are some posts from opponents of Ajax calling for a boycott of businesses connected to those who signed the letter.

In 2013, KTW published a story detailing the depth of KGHM Ajax’s donations in Kamloops and spoke to recipients, some of whom felt a bit of a backlash for accepting money

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

Newsroom

MUSINGS from the corporation.

At the time that article was published, in April 2013, there were 26 sponsorships listed, from the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation to the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce to Kamloops Blazers and Kamloops Storm to the Kamloops Brain Injury Association.

“My family, for one, will boycott any business sponsored by Ajax that we can,” Jody Neuls wrote on Facebook in response to a letter to KTW published in March 2013, which accused KGHM Ajax of “bribing its way into acceptance” with sponsorship dollars.

If that call to boycott had caught fire two years ago and continued to today, there would be a dizzying number of businesses and organizations to snub.

A partial list would be Thompson Rivers University, a recipient of enough KGHM Ajax largesse that the TRU Foundation lauded Ajax as “being good for Kamloops” during a recent reception for the mining donor; various sporting events, Western Canada Theatre, Kamloops Art Gallery

and Kamloops Food Bank.

Similar sentiments of enacting a boycott are percolating today in the wake of the letter of support — and there are plenty of prominent businesses that can be targeted.

Those advocating such measures are, in essence, arguing against free speech and freedom to hold a contrary view.

The approval or rejection of KGHM Ajax’s proposal will be done via the government’s environmental-assessment process and will have nothing to do with the letter of support.

The better course of action for opponents would be to focus their energy on the company behind the proposal and to perhaps walk through the doors of businesses that support the mine and engage in thoughtful debate.

Perhaps now is the time to approach those 42 and share with them reasons why the proposed mine is a bad idea for Kamloops.

Mark Wallin was chairman of the Kamloops Film Festival two years ago when talk of boycotting KGHM Ajax funding recipients was raised.

The mining company sponsored the 2013 festival.

“Instead of going after the wealthy, multinational corporation, some would rather go after the non-profit, volunteer group that begs for money to survive,” he told KTW two years ago.

“Seems a bit backwards to me.”

So, too, does talk of boycotting businesses whose owners simply hold a contrary viewpoint. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

DON’T ACCEPT KM’S ‘BRIBES’

MUCH FOOD FOR THOUGHT IN SERIES Editor: Re: KTW’s Food For Thought series on the Kamloops Food Bank: I thought this was a well-done project.

It helped open the eyes to just how difficult it is for someone in that situation, as well as how important it is for us as a community to come together in helping meet the needs of this very important cause.

Thank you for writing it.

Janet Hardie Kamloops

Editor: I read Jessica Wallace’s Food For Thought feature and thought this section was well-researched, thorough, visually creative and honest — in a word, exceptional.

It makes me want to act to help my community.

It was a great job and I am looking forward to the next webetorial online at kamloopsthisweek. com.

Jennifer Muir Kamloops

Editor: I just don’t understand how it has come to be that some mayors and councils and universities in the Thompson region appear ready to accept cash offers from Kinder Morgan before a decision has been made on the proposed twinning of its pipeline.

In Langley, mayor and council have refused this money to date, some citizens even calling it a bribe.

The Kinder Morgan website notes the following will be “to compensate for the disruption” during pipeline construction: City of Kamloops, $700,000; Thompson Rivers University, $500,000; Clearwater, $390,000; Barriere, $290,000; and Vavenby, Birch Island, Black Pool, Blue River, Avola, Little Fort and Black

Pines, $845,000.

I have been coming to the North Thompson region for 50 years for business and pleasure.

The sport and First Nations fisheries, and other river industries, are and always will be more economically important than the local valley pipeline industry.

In fact, the proposed new pipeline is not for Canadians at all, but involves a Texas company supplying China with tarsands bitumen.

As a businessman and one who enjoys the outdoors of the North Thompson, I can see only negative economic benefits coming from this tarsands pipeline.

This is because tarsands bitumen is the worst-polluting of all oils and would

coat the Thompson and Fraser rivers for thousands of miles.

As we know from the Alaska and Kalamazoo spills, this oil would be unrecoverable and would kill the river for a generation or more.

There have been many spills on the Trans Mountain pipeline and there will be many more.

This is just another statistic.

In my experience, Kinder Morgan does its utmost to keep these spills from public view.

I can forward a summary report of these past spills to concerned citizens who might wish to present it to city council.

BUILD A BRIDGE OR FIX OUR ROADS Editor: We do not need a performing-arts centre at this time.

Kamloops needs a second bridge more than it needs a performing-arts centre.

The condition of most well-travelled roads in Kamloops is poor and resurfacing is badly needed. Ninety-million dollars (or $49 million that will be voted on in a November referendum) would go a long way to funding a second bridge or fixing roads.

PEEVED AT PROPOSED BYLAW

KAMLOOPS LANDSCAPE FIRMS SAY THEY HAVE NOT BEEN CONSULTED ABOUT POSSIBLE PESTICIDE BAN DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

A new Kamloops website is about to go live and its message is in its name — savekamloops-landscapes. com.

The site is the product of local company owners who are angry they are again faced with a move to ban their products — pesticides.

They are also upset that they are unable to make a presentation to city council next week, when council will consider a motion to ban the use of cosmetic pesticides.

Jacquie Doherty of Grassroots Choice Lawn Care has been in the business for 27 years and has faced this situation many times.

She said she thought it was done when council passed a bylaw allowing licensed operators

to spray pesticides and herbicides on lawns and other ornamental landscape features.

Doherty is furious Coun. Tina Lange brought a notice of motion to council this week because, she said, Lange didn’t talk to her or others in her industry.

Deb Turner of BugsGon Pest Control isn’t surprised she wasn’t consulted.

“Emotion rules on this,” she said. “It’s like they have blinders on.

No matter what we tell them about how safe it is, they won’t listen.”

Turner, who is marking her 33rd year in the pesticide business, said she has had people bringing branches into her business covered with black aphids.

She said the weather is changing and the tree will die without treatment that would be prohibited under

Lange’s motion.

“It’s not just lawns we’re talking about here,” Turner said.

Doherty said implementing a ban would directly affect eight businesses like hers.

She said six of them would be “drastically affected.”

Doherty said she knew after the municipal election results last November the issue would be raised again.

“It’s a belief system,” she said. “They believe the products are not safe. But, I trust them and I trust what the federal government and the PMRA [Pest Management Regulatory Agency, an arm of Health Canada] has said, that they are safe if you follow the directions.”

The PMRA healthevaluation division looks at toxicology, exposure and other aspects of pesticides.

Under federal legislation, pesticides used in Canada must be reviewed and studied by the agency before they can be registered to be used.

Doherty said her industry holds annual conferences with experts who speak to all aspects of pesticides.

“I’ve heard it all,” she said. “Look, I’m a mother. I’m a grandmother. I don’t want to hurt children in our community.”

The motion returns to council for discussion and, possibly, a vote on Tuesday.

Cindy Kennedy, the city’s corporate officer, told KTW via email that one company asked to appear as a delegation but, because this is the busiest time for the industry, the company did not have time to prepare as a delegation within the mandated timeline.

Chamber pitch perfect in PG The Kamloops Chamber of Commerce went a perfect nine-fornine in lobbying for the positions of its members at a provincial conference this week in Prince George.

Each of the proposed resolutions the Kamloops chamber presented to the B.C. Chamber of Commerce annual conference was adopted.

“Kamloops delegates lobbied to ensure that the B.C. membership understood the needs of our members and they voted accordingly,” said Steve Earl, the local chamber president.

“While our issues came from Kamloops, they affect businesses in B.C. and we are pleased to have received the support of our fellow chambers.”

John Winter, president of the B.C. Chamber of Commerce, said Kamloops has a solid track record.

“Kamloops has historically brought solid, well-researched resolu-

tions to the provincial membersip,” he said.

“Their sophistication in the policy resolution process is recognized and respected in our organization.”

Kamloops Chamber of Commerce policy chair Brant Hasanen said the success on the provincial level is a credit to

local membership.

“Our success is a reflection of our members’ engagement in developing policy for matters that are important to them,” he said.

“This is an example of the strength of the chamber network in bringing forward business concerns to all levels of government.”

Complaint against CBC rejected PRO-AJAX LISTENER CLAIMS MORNING SHOW IS BIASED

On May 14 hundreds of people came together at Thompson Rivers University to prepare for something none of us hope to experience.

CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

CBC’s ombudsman has dismissed a complaint by a vociferous Ajax supporter that the local morning show’s coverage is biased.

Caroline King, who once set up a Facebook book page called Support Ajax Mine, complained to senior CBC officials about a radio interview in March with Thompson Rivers University associate professor of math Sean McGuiness.

McGuinness was interviewed on his opinion that real-estate values in Kamloops will drop by at least five per cent if the mine is approved.

He based that opinion on a study he found on the Rosemont mine in Tucson, Ariz.

McGuinness also noted a lack of research on the topic and advocated for an outside,

King objected to that interview in her written complaint to ombudsman Esther Enkin.

“The prof had no evidence, no data and no facts to back up his opinions — only a 20-year-old piece of U.S. research unrelated to the Kamloops mine proposal, a study he found after ‘spending some time on Google,’” she wrote in the complaint.

But, Enkin found the interview falls well within CBC’s journalistic standards as set out in a corporate guide.

“This guest did not claim his information was definitive.

“There is nothing wrong, in an ongoing story, to have a single guest present one perspective on an aspect of the story . . . it is well within journalistic practice to use an interview to explore a single idea, or one person’s thoughts.”

A bylaw to rezone a trio of cottage-style duplexes at Sagebrush Golf and Sporting Club has been adopted by the Thompson-Nicola Regional District.

The duplexes, which were originally zoned as residential dwellings, are now commercial buildings. The golf club can now begin with renovations to bring the property in line as a commercial property.

Following the TNRD’s May 14 meeting, at which the proposed zoning amendment bylaw was read a third time, it was signed and approved by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure on May 19.

The bill was adopted unanimously yesterday at the board of directors meeting.

Under the new bylaw, the duplexes have been approved for use as 24 traveller accommodation

overall coverage of Ajax by CBC Kamloops was biased against the proposed mine immediately south of Aberdeen and Pineview Valley — an opinion the ombudsman said has no merit.

Enkin wrote in her report — based on a review of other stories and interviews — that CBC reporters and host Shelley Joyce presented an “even-handed treatment of the issue.

“I note that as an active supporter and advocate for the project, you have also been interviewed,” Enkin wrote of the vocal mine advocate.

“I did not listen to all of the material but, from the sampling I did, there was an even-handed treatment of the issue.

“CBC Kamloops seems to have provided a range of perspectives and provided information so that citizens of the community can draw their own conclusions.”

With the bylaw adopted, Sagebrush can now begin renovations required to convert the buildings from residential to commercial use.

Following the proposed bylaw’s third reading in the middle of May, Sagebrush president Bob Garnett said the extent of the work needed would be unknown until the bylaw was adopted.

He estimated it would take three or four weeks to get the course in playing condition, though it has been maintained throughout its closure.

With the bylaw adopted, the course’s current owners — Four for Fore Investments Ltd. — will likely gain traction on the sale of the Quilchena track.

Garnett told KTW a deal was close earlier this month, but added purchasers were waiting for the rezoning approval and for the renovation work to be completed.

TNRD SUPPORTS TWINNING OF PIPELINE ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD) supports the twinning of the Trans-Mountain Pipeline.

The board of directors overwhelmingly approved a motion of support for the project during its meeting yesterday.

Four directors were opposed — alternate director Donovan Cavers, mayor of Lytton Jessoa Lightfoot, Area I director Steven Rice and Area M director Randy Murray.

The motion was brought to the board by Sun Peaks Mayor Al Raine.

“I think it is important for the TNRD to take a position on this issue,” Raine said, noting the products are passing through the corridor regardless and it is important to ensure they are doing so in the safest possible manner.

“I guess one could argue about all the issues with the environment, the tar sands,” he continued.

“That’s not the issue with my motion. They’re going to be passing through the corridor, the pipeline is the best foreseeable option.”

CLEAN IMAGE

Kamloops city Coun. Ken Christian seconded the motion.

“Irrespective of how we feel about fossil fuels, we are still using fossil fuels,” he said.

“We have to be conscious that, in a global society using them, there is an increasing need. Getting these products to people should be done in the safest way.”

For Christian, that is the pipeline.

Kamloops Coun. Arjun Singh also spoke in support of the motion, though he noted his support was not of continuing to use the pipeline in perpetuity.

Cavers was the lone Kamloops councillor to speak against the motion.

“There’s not much reason for the TNRD to be taking a stand on the political hot potato,” he said.

“The elephant in the room is climate change. In general, our society needs to be moving away from using more and more fossil fuels.”

He noted supporting the pipeline was, in essence, supporting 60 years of increased fossil fuel usage.

Kamloops area director Mel Rothenburger recused himself from the vote as the pipeline passes through his property.

KAMLOOPS STUDENT OFF TO NATIONALS

DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Maia Manshadi was pretty sure she wouldn’t win.

The Kamloops student was again standing in front of a line of judges in Surrey, prepared to give her speech in the Concours d’arts oratoire, a speech competition in French.

At the end of her talk on why the voting age should be lowered in the country, Maia was still sure she hadn’t nailed it.

But, she had and, next year, she’ll be taking part in the national level of the program sponsored

by Canadian Parents for French, joining others like her to once again present her talk on something about

which he feels strongly.

The Ecole collines d’or Grade 7 student said she chose her topic because she and her friends are interested in politics, talk about it and feel they should have a say in who runs the city, province and country.

“Young people are more mature in modern day,” Maia said, noting they can do many other things before the legal voting age of 19, including driving a car, getting married and obtaining a passport.

Her younger sister, Carmel, also came in first at the local level of the speech competition. Only those in Grades 6 and up can proceed to the provincial stage, but Carmel is already thinking of how she’ll meet that goal when she’s in

that grade.

Maia said she learned from her experience last year at the provincial stage and worked to keep her speaking tempo better.

“But, I was still scared and really confident I wouldn’t win,” she said. “I was really surprised when I did.”

Maia prepared by recording her speech and, rather than listening to music, she played it back to herself repeatedly.

Maia wasn’t the only Kamloops winner at the provincial level.

Kacie Long, a Grade 6 student at the same school, took the top medal in her category and Zach Kramer of Lloyd George elementary was also a competitor in the Grade 6 level.

MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

With B.C. Lions training camp underway at Hillside Stadium, KTW caught up with Leos’ general manager Wally Buono to talk about the upcoming season.

Topics covered included the arrival of head coach Jeff Tedford, how off-season rule changes will affect the game and the Lions’ running-back situation.

Tedford era begins

Heads rolled after the Leos sputtered to a 9-9 finish last season and were embarrassed in the first round of the playoffs, losing 50-17 to the hometown Montreal Alouettes.

Jeff Tedford replaces Mike Benevides and the 25th head coach in club history is bringing with him an entirely different philosophy than his predecessor.

“Jeff is, was and will always be an offensive-minded coach, so even that thought process is totally different than maybe the last 12 years, where the head coach has been more defensive-minded,” said Buono, who will arrive in Kamloops on Sunday with the veterans for Day 1 of main camp.

“I don’t want to promise the stars and deliver nothing, but there is going to be a drastic change in approach and a drastic change in philosophy, which, hopefully, will manifest itself into a more wide-open, more explosive team,” he said.

Tedford played six seasons, from 1983 to 1988, as a quarterback in the CFL with Hamilton, Calgary, Saskatchewan and Winnipeg. He served as an assistant coach under Buono with the Stampeders from 1989 to 1991.

The Lions’ new bench boss established himself as a success-

ful head coach with the California Golden Bears.

After 11 seasons, he left the NCAA Division One school as its all-time leader in bowl wins (five), wins (75) and games coached (139).

Buono spends a great deal of time on the sidelines during camp watching his team and Sunday will give him a chance to see how Tedford runs his ship.

“I wouldn’t say I’m excited to see it, but I’m not an excitable person. I can get angry and I can get belligerent,” Buono said. “For me, I’m going to be keenly interested to see the change.

“I think he’s going to do a great job of implementing change, from practice tempo to practice organization to everything.

Anybody who’s going to come by and watch practice should be able

to see that fairly quickly.”

On Sunday, the Lions practise from 8:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. and again from 3:45 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Benevides compiled a 33-21 record in three seasons and led the Lions to the post-season each year, with their best finish coming in 2012, when they lost in the West final.

“The players, some of them are going to bitch about the change and some of them are going to like it,” Buono said. “It’s inevitable. You just hope that more like it and the ones that you want to like it, really like it.”

The focus shifts now to what lies ahead.

“9-9 is not the worst record, but it’s not acceptable when you’ve always had a much, much higher standard,” Buono said.

“It’s not even so much about

getting back to winning ways. It’s about getting to where the club is more dominant — it’s more dominant at home, it’s got more discipline and offensive explosiveness.

“It’s more about improving a lot of things and winning will be the by-product.”

Rule refinement

The CFL made a host of rule changes in the off-season, nearly all of them aimed at improving the tempo of the game and creating more offence.

“There was an outcry from everybody — fans, sponsors and the TV audience,” Buono said.

“The game is too slow.”

Of all the changes, none will have more impact than the one adopted to keep defensive backs from impeding receivers after they advance five yards past the line of

scrimmage, according to Buono.

“I can’t imagine, as much as that changed the NFL game, how much it’s going to affect our game,” he said. “I think it’s drastically going to change how defences play. They’re trying to open our game up, trying to make it more offensive-oriented, to take more pressure off the quarterback.”

Former CFLer and current TSN analyst Glenn Suitor agrees with Buono.

“It is easy to see how this proposal will increase the speed and tempo of the game when you consider that receivers should have more room on a field that is 65 yards wide and in a game that allows for unlimited motion towards the line of scrimmage,” Suitor wrote on tsn.ca.

The Lions’ GM said it will take time for defensive backs to adjust to the change, which will likely lead to a rash of pass-interference penalties.

Buono is not convinced kicking extra points from the 32-yard line, instead of the 12-yard line, will have much of an influence on the game.

The rule is meant to encourage teams to attempt two-point conversions, which will be scrimmaged from the three-yard line instead of the five-yard line.

THE BC LIONS ARE PROUD TO CALL KAMLOOPS HOME FOR TRAINING CAMP 2015 MAY 31ST - JUNE 17 TH AT HILLSIDE STADIUM

Sean Wallace has put together a solid core of athletes to play for the Kamloops Heat this summer.

Now, he just needs to get them on the pitch all at once.

“I think if we get the team that we have on paper on the field, we should be OK,” the head coach said yesterday, looking forward to the team’s weekend matches.

“It’s just a neverending battle trying to get the guys to make it to the field.”

Such is the nature of summer soccer, he said — players have work commitments, weddings, summer holidays and the like vying for their time.

But, Wallace is hoping this weekend’s matches, the Heat’s first home action of the 2015 Pacific Coast Soccer League season, will be a different story.

For one, the team doesn’t have to travel.

And, the Heat will have the opportunity to put on a show for a hometown crowd.

Kyle Fertile (left) and the Kamloops Heat will be in action this weekend at Exhibition Park.

“I don’t think it’s much different than last year — we like to play some exciting, attacking soccer,” Wallace said.

The Heat will play two games in the Tournament Capital this weekend — tomorrow at 6 p.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m. — both at Exhibition Park.

“We hope to put a good product on the field,” Wallace said.

Soccer fans in Kamloops will be familiar with much of then Heat’s roster, a mixture of Thompson Rivers University WolfPack players and alumni, Kamloops Youth Soccer Association graduates and a few out-of-town additions.

Adam Dodgson, Braeden Burrows, Nolan and Justin

Wallace, Corey Wallis and Austin Schneebli are among the regulars on a roster supplemented by the likes of keeper Victor Gouchee and midfielder Jamie Spendlove.

Kamloops will play the Victoria Highlanders FC tomorrow and the Vancouver Thunderbirds on Sunday.

The club opened the season against the Highlanders, in Victoria, playing to a 2-2 draw.

The Heat held the lead in the match, up 2-1 before Victoria tied the score in the dying minutes of the game.

Heading into action in the Tournament Capital, Victoria was second in the PCSL standings, with two wins, a loss and four

draws over seven matches.

Kamloops has yet to play the Thunderbirds, in essence the University of British Columbia’s summer team, but Wallace expects a strong team to take the pitch at Exhibition Park.

“We have played the Thunderbirds in the past and have held our own,” he said.

The Thunderbirds sit one spot behind the Highlanders, with two wins and two draws through four games.

Both matches will be good measuring sticks for the Heat, who have one win, two losses and a draw through their first month of PCSL play. They sit seventh in the nine-team league.

A weekend homestand may be the club’s opportunity to see just how it stacks up against some of the league’s best.

“We have a number of returning players that are looking to play at post-secondary schools next year,” Wallace said.

“It’s a good, Kamloops squad.”

That same evening, the Spartans defeated the Rutland Blackjacks 11-6 .

In Sunday’s semifinal matchup, Kamloops fell 11-4 in a rematch against the Bulldogs.

Lions to hurry up on offence From page A15

Play will begin immediately upon the ball and yardsticks being set for play, allowing the offence to dictate the pace of play.

With Tedford expected to implement an up-tempo offence, such as the one he used during his time at Cal, the Leos might benefit from the change.

“The strategy is to put more pressure on the defence,” Buono said. “If the offence signals they’re going uptempo and they’re not going to substitute, it’s more difficult for the defence to substitute, which puts more pressure on the defence to stay within that personnel grouping,” Buono said.

“Does coach

Tedford maybe have a little bit of a headsup because he’s more familiar with that strategy? Maybe, but that’s only a short-lived thing.”

Running low?

The Lions decided this week to part ways with five-foot-eight running back and kick returner Tim Brown, leaving many to question the team’s depth in the backfield.

“I’m good with what we have,” Buono said.

“Timmy’s strength was never really as a back.”

Brown, 30, is B.C.’s all-time leader in kick return yards with 6,391 since 2011, but he struggled to find a place in the lineup and was released on Monday.

FIFA head resists calls for resignation GRAHAM SUNBAR

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ZURICH — As defiant as ever, Sepp Blatter resisted calls to resign as FIFA president yesterday and deflected blame for the massive bribery and corruption scandal engulfing soccer’s world governing body.

“We, or I, cannot monitor everyone all of the time,” Blatter said in his first public remarks on the crisis that has further tainted his leadership on the eve of his bid for a fifth term as president.

The 79-year-old Blatter insisted he could restore trust in world soccer after a pair of corruption investigations brought “shame and humiliation” on his organization and the world’s most popular sport.

“We cannot allow the reputation of football and FIFA to be dragged through the mud any longer,” he

KIM SORENSEN CELEBRATION OF LIFE

said. “It has to stop here and now.”

Despite a tide of criticism and pressure on him to leave, Blatter is moving ahead with a presidential election today that is likely to bring him another four years in office as one of the most powerful men in sports.

“The events of yesterday have cast a long shadow over football,” he said, his voice shaky at times, in a speech to open FIFA’s two-day congress. “There can be no place for corruption of any kind.”

Blatter refused to back down after European soccer body UEFA demanded earlier yesterday that he quit following the latest — and most serious allegations — to discredit FIFA during his 17 years in office.

“Enough is enough,” UEFA president Michel Platini said. “People no longer want him any more and I don’t want him any more, either.”

Platini met privately with Blatter and asked him to go.

“I am asking you to leave FIFA, to step down because you are giving FIFA a terrible image,” Platini said he told Blatter.

“In terms of our image, it is not good at all and I am not the first one to be disgusted by this.”

Blatter, who is expected to win today’s election against Prince Ali bin al-Hussein of Jordan, is coming under increasing scrutiny amid U.S. and Swiss federal investigations into high-level corruption tearing at FIFA. A U.S. Justice Department investigation accused 14 international soccer officials or sports marketing executives of bribery, racketeering, fraud and money-laundering over two decades in connection with marketing rights worth hundreds

hold him responsible for FIFA’s tattered image, Blatter blamed the “actions of individuals” for harming the organization.

“If people want to do wrong, they will also try to hide it,” he said. “I will not allow the actions of a few to destroy the hard work and integrity of the vast majority of those who work so hard for football.”

Blatter said the crisis could mark a “turning point” for FIFA to clean itself up.

“We will co-operate with all authorities to make sure anyone involved in wrongdoing, from top to bottom, is discovered and punished,” he said.

“There can be no place for corruption of any kind. The next few months will not be easy for FIFA. I’m sure more bad news will follow.

“But, it is necessary to begin to restore trust

in our organization.”

Referring to today’s election, Blatter said: “We have the opportunity to begin on what will be a long and difficult road to rebuilding trust. We have lost their trust, at least a part of it and we must now earn it back.”

The seven soccer officials, including Jeffrey Webb, president of the North American regional body known as CONCACAF, were arrested in a police raid on a luxury Zurich hotel early Wednesday.

They are fighting extradition to the United States.

Defendants named in the indictment face up to 20 years in prison and their questioning could reveal further evidence that leads back to Blatter’s Zurich-based organization. Webb was a member of FIFA’s audit committee more than a decade ago.

A: Before I became a funeral director, I thought they cremated several people at one time, to save time, money and fuel. Not so. The crematorium operators here in Kamloops are absolutely first class professionals. You can rest assured it’s done right. For more info, please call or drop by.

JOHN VINCENT LEAHY April 26, 1963 - May 26, 2015

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of John Vincent Leahy after a brief battle with cancer. His last few days were spent surrounded by loving family and friends until he passed away peacefully with his wife by his side. John is survived by his loving wife of 26 years, Bernita, sons Stephen and Sheldon, daughter Vhairi (fiancé Kevin), parents John and Margaret Leahy, sisters Selene Johnston, Diane Harrison (Dave), Pauline Leahy (Ernie), nephew Liam Johnston, and numerous in-laws, nieces and nephews.

John was born in Glasgow, Scotland and moved to Canada with his family when he was eighteen years old. He met and married Bernita a few years later. He became a teacher and they settled in Kamloops with their growing family. John had a passion for teaching, fossil hunting, off-road driving, the outdoors, travelling with his family, and soccer. He worked as a teacher, first at St. Ann’s and then for School District 73. During this time, he earned his Masters of Education degree. He spent countless hours at McAbee Fossil Beds and was proud of his significant fossil finds, especially the one that was named after him.

He enjoyed soccer, both as a player and as an avid Celtic fan.

Many heartfelt thanks go out to family and friends who showed so much support, and to Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice for seeing to it that his final days were spent in comfort and dignity.

The funeral liturgy will be at 2:00 pm on Saturday, May 30, 2015 at Holy Family Church, 2797 Sunset Drive in Valleyview. In lieu of flowers, donations to Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice in John’s name would be appreciated.

Charlie was born in Toronto, Ontario and ventured out west at an early age “riding the rails” with a buddy, working odd jobs along the way. It wasn’t long after arriving in Vancouver that he met the love of his life Jean McQueen. They were married in 1950 in Gibsons, B.C. where Charlie worked at the pulp mill in Port Mellon.

This was a time when the only access to the mill was by boat and he had lots of stories to tell about those trips.

Charlie and Jean had five children Michael, Charlene, Sharon, Tom and Jacalyn and in 1964 pulled up stakes to resettle in Kamloops where Charlie had secured a job at Balco Forest Products (now Tolko) as Head Electrician. He was very active, made many lifelong friends and enjoyed a fulfilling career until health issues forced him to retire in August 1987. He enjoyed golf and curling into his 80’s. He was a real handyman and was always reworking or repairing things for his friends.

Survived by his children Charlene Day (Jim), Burnaby, B.C.; Thomas Day (Kathy), Logan Lake, B.C.; Jacalyn Chandler (Jim), Brentwood Bay, B.C.; Anne Day (daughter-in-law), Kitimat, B.C. Brad Heaton son-in-law and 11 grandchildren: Trevor, Ryan and Candice Day; Bill Artzoumanis, Lee Martin; Josh and Shane Heaton; Janene and Jordon Day; Alison and Jon Chandler; one great-grandchild Anora Heaton.

He is predeceased by his loving wife Jean, son Michael and daughter Sharon.

IN LOVING MEMORY

MAXINE ELEANOR BOOKER (NEE CAULFIELD) July 17, 1931 - May 14, 2015 It is with great sadness that the family of Maxine Eleanor Booker (nee Caulfield) announces her passing on May 14th, 2015 at Overlander Care Home. She was 83. She leaves behind to cherish her memory her six children Bonnie (Leigh) Markland, Debbie (Guy) Cockell, Dan (Karen Weale), Larry (Tammy Walker) Booker, Derek Booker, Kevin Booker (Laurie Salisbury), her beloved grandchildren Danielle, Carrie, Lindsay, Shawn, Ryan, Darla, Danica, Jynnelle, Jessie and Cole, and 16 great-grandchildren.

Maxine was predeceased by her husband Bill, her mother and father Mary and John Caulfield, her brothers Norman and Bob, sister Nancy and her dog Misty.

Maxine was born July 17, 1931, in Nanaimo and moved to Burnaby as a child. She married Bill in 1950.

They raised their children in Burnaby, Germany, and Delta before moving to Kamloops in 1969. She lived in Westsyde until September, 2014, when she became a resident of Overlander. After moving to Kamloops, she worked at Safeway for many years until she retired. Maxine was a special lady who was always generous of heart, time and spirit combined with a wonderful sense of humor. She loved to spend her time gardening, camping and fishing with Bill and with her family and grandchildren.

She enjoyed lifting a glass with her special friends Katie, Cecile, and Greta. They enjoyed going to the Anavets and Eagles meat draw where she was often a winner. Her closest friend was her sister Bonnie. They loved to have a glass of wine together to share stories and laughter about their families.

We will always carry your memory in our hearts.

Special thanks to the staff of Overlander for the wonderful care they gave to our mother. You truly made her feel welcome.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, June 6th, 2015, from 1:00 – 4:00pm at the Anavets Hall located at 177 Tranquille Rd., Kamloops.

FAITH

Redactions prove pair not divinely inspired

I

n part one on May 1, I suggested the gospel writers Matthew and Luke could not have been divinely inspired given their extensive copying and editing of Mark.

Understandably, some longtime Christians may have difficulty accepting this.

So, this time, I will highlight two more clear redactions to buttress my case.

Recall that most Bible scholars believe Mark wrote first, and that Matthew and Luke used Mark as a source for their gospels. However, although I take this theory for granted, my position is not dependent on it since the inconsistencies I expose exist regardless of whether any copying took place.

I began last time with Mark’s mistaken reference to Isaiah in chapter 1 of his gospel and the attempts by Matthew and Luke to cover it up.

MICHAEL FENEMORE

You Gotta Have

FAITH

Mark’s memory fails him again in chapter 2 and, this time, the mistake is contained in a quotation he claims proceeded from the mouth of Jesus: “And he said to them, ‘Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need of food? He entered the house of God, when Abiathar was high priest . . . (Mark 2:25-26, NRSV throughout).

Jesus is referring to an event recorded in 1 Samuel 21:1-6.

The problem is, the

high priest mentioned there is Ahimelech, not Abiathar.

As might be expected from a typical Christian apologist presupposing divine inspiration, James A. Brooks insists this can’t be a mistake.

He writes, “Such an explanation is impossible for those who embrace a concept of scriptural inerrancy” (The New American Commentary).

Brooks proceeds to offer three alternate explanations, but ultimately concedes not one of them is satisfactory.

He then moves on to another topic.

Notwithstanding the games such delusional commentators like to play, both Matthew and Luke deem Mark’s reference to Abiathar an error and turn to their preferred solution: they delete it.

They begin by closely following Mark’s wording.

However, upon reaching the phrase

“when Abiathar was high priest,” they simply skip it and continue on as though it never existed.

Matthew and Luke were not the only copyists to censor this embarrassment. Some significant manuscripts of Mark circa 400 CE omit the phrase as well.

(See codices Bezae and Washingtonianus.)

Scholars today, however, are confident the original document contained the offending reference and that Matthew, Luke and the later scribes were redacting the text.

The average Christian is blissfully unaware of these behind-the-scenes shenanigans.

If Mark had been truly inspired by God, he would not have suffered his memory lapse and all this damage control would have been unnecessary. Matthew and Luke are not just editing the words of Mark.

They clearly have no qualms about rewriting

statements Mark claims were made by the very Son of God. According to Mark, Jesus once said, “There are some standing here who will not taste death until they see that the kingdom of God has come with power” (Mark 9:1). Matthew presumes to “enhance” this prediction by inserting the returning Christ.

He claims Jesus said, “. . . before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom” (Matthew 16:28).

Some may suggest Matthew is simply adding clarification.

To this, I would respond, “Yes, that’s exactly what he’s doing.

That’s the problem.”

If Mark was writing under inspiration, why should his wording require clarification?

The greatest difficulty here is that both versions are presented as direct quotations but, obviously, at least one has to be a corruption.

If both Mark and Matthew were being inspired by God, we should expect their quotations to be identical.

However, if that were true, we would then have to wonder why God needed to record the statement in the Bible twice. In fact, it was recorded a third time by Luke and in neither is he totally content with Mark’s choice of words.

He does follow Mark’s wording almost to the letter, but then, like Matthew, he drops “with power” (Luke 9:27).

What Matthew and Luke had against the word “power” is something we will likely never know. Nor is it likely we will ever know what Jesus actually said.

Which gospel should be considered reliable — Mark, Matthew or Luke?

Given the mistakes and redactions, the only logical answer is we can’t trust any of them.

I could easily continue with more examples

but, surely by now it must be clear to readers interested in the truth that divine inspiration is completely precluded by the unrestrained editing of Mark by Matthew and Luke, especially considering their shocking willingness to flagrantly alter the words of Jesus.

It becomes evident the so-called “Gospel of Jesus Christ” might better be described as a collection of conflicting accounts influenced by the imaginations of fallible men promoting their personal agendas.

Small’s summer of music “

DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

H

enry Small loves the local music scene.

He sees it as growing, vibrant and alive — but just not necessarily at Music in the Park.

“The thing is the demographic for Music in the Park is five to 95 and some bands, some really great bands, just won’t work for that demographic,” Small said of the annual summer of music he creates every year.

“It’s not personal, it’s about satisfying the demographic.”

It’s why, for example, he has always booked tribute bands, musicians he readily admits he used to look down on during his own music career.

“But they’re the ones that always sell out,” Small said. “They’re the ones people want to hear so I’ve changed my attitude toward them because it’s about people enjoying the music.”

The schedule isn’t quite ready yet — there have been some last-minute cancellations, leaving some dates to be filled — but Small is happy with the program he’s spent the past many months putting together.

“I was looking at it and there are a lot of female performers this year,” he said. “I didn’t do it consciously but there are a lot of talented women emerging now.”

Experience has shown him Music in the Park needs a variety of musical genres beyond pop and tribute bands.

This year, he said, Small is particularly delighted to have booked a Latin American band as well

KTW FILE PHOTO Henry Small will bring Music in the Park to Riverside and McDonald parks again this year, with the schedule set to be announced soon.

. . . the demographic for Music in the Park is five to 95 and some bands, some really great bands, just won’t work . . .

as a reggae band “from the islands.”

This year, he’s also having to do programming for more special nights — longtime sponsor B.C. Lottery Corporation is celebrating its 30th anniversary while Ribfest and B.C. Living Arts’ Hijacked festival return — and that requires some specific music requests.

For the lottery corporation, Small said, the theme will be disco while Hijacked will focus on Canadian music.

Ribfest attendees will be entertained by a series of tribute bands.

There will be plenty of local talent on the schedule but Small always works at bringing in other acts, performers who are looking for a new audience and whose music can appeal through the generations of Kamloopsians who head down to Riverside Park every night.

He’s also got Friday nights booked for McDonald Park and said he thinks this year’s version on the North Shore is the best he’s done for that venue.

It all kicks off on July 1 with the Canada Day celebrations and Art in the Park. After that daylong event, Music in the Park occupies the Rotary Bandshell there every night starting at 7 p.m.

With some fine-tuning needed to fill those unanticipated empty slots, Small said he hopes the schedule will be ready for the public in the next couple of weeks.

Theatre trio back in the parks Alan Corbishley (right) is busy this summer with Hijacked and Coffee Confessions, a project he is collaborating on with The Art We Are.

HIJACKING STAGE AGAIN DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Hijacked returns to Riverside Park on July 10 and July 11, running both nights from 6 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.

The event, created by B.C. Living Arts and its artistic director Alan Corbishley, features music and interactive art installations, as well as an outdoor beer garden hosted by Red Beard Cafe.

Corbishley recently wrapped up a call for artists who work in a variety of media, as well as singers of all musical genres, to take part in the event.

He is also working on a project with The Art We Are as a partner, an idea inspired by anonymous notes that have been appearing in the cracks of the Victoria Street cafe’s walls.

Coffee Confessions will encourage visitors to write some thoughts and submit them anonymously into a designated mailbox.

The texts will be converted into a format and posted on a private webpage accessible only by scanning the QR code at The Art We Are. Corbishley is also looking for some supplies for the event, a list that includes things from pop-up tents to chalkboard paint — and eight sheets of wood on which the paint will be applied. The list is online at bclivingarts.ca under the Hijacked tab.

Vote for Kamloops band in provincial music competition DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops band Van Damsel is one of 12 vying for the Peak Performance Project’s top prize.

The band, composed of Richard Bregoliss, Sebastien Ste Marie, Matthew Rennehan and Matthew Barron, will join the others at the fourth annual Khatsahlano Street Party on Saturday, July 11, to showcase their music.

The annual project is a partnership between Radio station 102.7 in Vancouver and Music BC. It is sponsored by Cariboo Brewing.

The $5.2-million project was created seven years ago to help emerging B.C. artists.

A similar program runs in Alberta.

Three awards are given: $102,7000 for first place, $75,000 for second place and $50,000 for third place.

The top 12 also receive mentorship from other music-

industry professionals and each of the finalists receives $5,000 for career development.

The finalists will attend a weeklong boot camp in Princeton at the end of August and take part in a club concert series in September and early October. Public online voting for the top three will start on Oct. 16.

Voting ends on Oct. 23 and the winners will be announced on Oct. 29.

It all wraps up with a finale show-

case on Nov. 19 at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver.

Van Damsel was formed in 2010 and, since then, was involved in the 2013 Peak project, won The Shore 104’s Best of B.C. $10,000 prize and recently wrapped up a cross-Canada tour.

Other finalists include Little India, Chersea, Smash Boom Pow, Jesse Roper, Find the Others, Mindil Beach, Bed of Stars, Mike Edel, Windmills, JP Maurice and Joy District.

FUNFEST RETURNS IN JUNE The many adults who take part in the Options and Opportunities program at Interior Community Services spend the year having a lot of fun.

On one day — June 5 this year — they share the fun with the public at McDonald Park with their annual FunFest.

They’ve been doing it for 15 years now and have seen the event grow from a gathering of immediate friends, families, caregivers and advocates to a crowd of more than 200 gathered to take part in some art workshops, interactive games and dancing, listen to music, learn about other advocacy-based organizations and take a break in a root beer garden sponsored by A&W. If they register ahead, they can also order a slice of pizza, hunk of watermelon and pop or juice.

Zumba was a big hit at last year’s event so it will be back again this year, along with traditional hand drumming.

The event runs from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

To order the meal, call 250-372-3710 before Saturday.

Faith Bailey has been recognized by Volunteer Kamloops for her contribution to the Bright Red Bookshelf Project.

One for the books Faith Bailey received a Volunteer Recognition Award for the month of May. The 12 awards were created to celebrate Volunteer Kamloops’ 30th anniversary throughout 2015 by recognizing individuals in the community who have embodied the true spirit of volunteerism.

Faith Bailey is the reason the Bright Red Bookshelf Project is such a well-run, popular and successful literacy project.

Growing from seven bookshelves to 22 in just four years, the help of a volunteer extraordinaire was required.

Faith Bailey, a retired school district teacher librarian, came to the rescue.

The Bright Red Bookshelf Project aims to promote a love of reading, put books in the hands of children and increase

book ownership.

The 22 bookshelves in community organizations and schools provide free quality children’s books for families. Each year, more than 10,000 books are donated in the Heap the Honda Children’s Book Drive.

Faith co-ordinates volunteer groups to sort, clean and sticker the books.

Since January 2014, 18,540 books have been processed.

Faith has recruited her friends to look after the individual bookshelves.

Each week, she spends three to four hours at the distribution centre sorting and stocking shelves so volunteer tenders have a good supply of books from which to choose.

Of course, being a retired teacher librarian, Faith ensures the books are carefully sorted according to

ages and genres, making it easy for everyone else.

Faith took on the volunteer position less than two years ago and, in one year, has clocked more than 160 hours.

An added bonus is with Faith comes her wonderful husband, Al, who volunteers just as many hours.

Faith is an excellent example of someone who has shared her unique experience and knowledge to the benefit of thousands of Kamloops citizens.

If you want to learn more about how you can share your passion, skills or knowledge with the community, visit Volunteer Kamloops at volunteerkamloops.org or stop by the office at 705 Seymour St. (Tuesdays to Fridays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.) and meet with a program co-ordinator.

ATTENTION PATIO LOVERS! Summer is here, weather-wise, and KTW wants to know which patios perfect the outdoor dining and drinking experience in Kamloops.

Tell us which Kamloops restaurant/

pub patios you enjoy and why — and you might win prizes.

It can be a popular spot or a hidden gem.

It can be a place you have long enjoyed or a location you only recently discovered.

Whatever your choice, email the info and your name and contact information to: editor@kamloopsthisweek.com.

We will publish a selection of the choices.

GLOBAL VIEWS

The mystery of North Koreas nukes

E

arly this month, North Korea claimed to have launched a ballistic missile from a submerged submarine.

It then announced it can now make nuclear warheads small enough to fit on a missile. If both those claims are true, then it can now deliver a nuclear weapon to the United States, at least in theory, but there is always some doubt about North Korean claims.

While a defence official in Pyongyang said the country’s nuclear programme has “long been in the full-fledged stage of miniaturization,” some Western defence experts think the North Koreans have not yet really mastered the art.

But, General Curtis M. Scaparrotti, the senior US military commander in South Korea, thinks otherwise.

GWYNNE DYER

World

WATCH “I believe [the North Koreans] have the capability to have miniaturized the device at this point and they have the technology to potentially actually deliver what they say they have,” Scaparrotti said last October.

But, to be sure the miniaturized weapon actually works on a ballistic missile, North Korea would have to test-fire it to see if it survives the heat and vibration of re-entering the atmosphere in working order. It has not yet done that.

Others think the footage of the submarine launch may have been faked. The missile emerges from the sea, sure enough, with the Maximum Leader looking proudly on, but Kim Jong-un was obviously photoshopped in.

And, in one shot, there seems to be a barge floating on the surface near the missile’s exit point.

However, let us assume for a moment both claims are true — because they will be sooner or later.

What does North Korea intend to do with its nuclear weapons?

And why is it trying so urgently to persuade its enemies it is ready to use now?

The rational and conventional answer to the first question is that Pyongyang’s nukes are solely intended to deter the United States from using nuclear weapons on North Korea.

The United States has long-standing military

alliances with both South Korea and Japan, and it has never said it would abstain from using nuclear weapons if there were a war between North Korea and its neighbours.

In this rational world, having enough nuclear weapons to deter the United States from going nuclear would give North Korea a major advantage in the event of a ground war in the Korean peninsula. Its army is much bigger than the South Korean and U.S. ground forces facing it, and it might even manage to overrun South Korea in a non-nuclear war. Or, at least, it may believe it could.

How many North Korean nuclear weapons would be enough to deter the United States from using its own nukes, in this context? A dozen would probably do it, and Prof. Siegfried Hecker of Stanford University, a former director of the

Los Alamos National Laboratory, thinks North Korea probably now has that many, “half likely fuelled by plutonium and half by highly enriched uranium.”

But, rationality has not been the outstanding feature of politics in North Korea recently.

In the past three years Kim Jong-un has purged most of the men who worked closely with his father, Kim Jong-il, and many have been executed.

Whole families have been murdered, including some with links by blood or marriage to Kim’s own.

The crimes imputed to the victims and the methods of killing also grow increasingly bizarre. South Korea’s National Intelligence Service reported recently that North Korea’s defence minister, Gen. Hyon Yong Chol, was executed last month for falling asleep during a meeting where

Kim Jong-un was present.

Again, according to the NIS, the weapon used to execute Hyon was a ZSU23-4, a Russian-made tracked anti-aircraft vehicle.

It mounts four linked autocannons that fire 23-mm shells at the rate of 3,400 rounds per minute. If that report is true, it would have been hard to find enough of Hyon to bury.

The impression this all creates of political chaos and utter uncertainty in the North Korean capital may be misleading. The old Soviet regime was never more monolithically stable than at the height of Stalin’s purges fomr 1936 to 1938. But, at the moment, Kim’s regime certainly looks unstable when viewed from the outside. There are no safe assumptions, including assumptions about the rationality of the leadership.

So, we cannot just

assume North Korea’s nukes are purely defensive, or that Kim Jong-un, after 28 years of living in a gilded cage and three-and-ahalf years of absolute power, has been adequately instructed in the theories of nuclear deterrence that have become orthodox in older nuclear-weapons states. Nor is anybody in the North Korean military hierarchy going to try to instruct him now, if he is ignorant in such matters.

The simple truth is that the rest of the world doesn’t know what is happening in North Korea at the moment. The mystery has deepened with the abrupt last-minute cancellation of United Nations SecretaryGeneral Ban Ki-moon’s scheduled visit to North Korea. We’ll have to wait to find out what’s really going on — but meantime military forces all over north-eastern Asia are undoubtedly on high alert.

TOM FLETCHER BLACK PRESS tfletcher@blackpress.ca

You climb into a boat and the guide asks if you want to see sea lions along the beach or hike into the rainforest highland to a group of waterfalls.

Turn to look behind you and see two more people in the boat, the outboard wake behind them. Look up and see trees reaching to the sky and raindrops falling on B.C.’s Central Coast near Nimmo Bay. A floating wilderness lodge with Adirondack chairs and a crackling firepit await your return.

The Wild Within, a virtual reality experience produced by Destination B.C. is the first for North American destination marketing. Its December launch in New York and Washington, D.C., was covered by 94 media outlets, including National Geographic, USA Today, Time, Outside, Lonely Planet, Wall Street Journal, Wired and Ad Week magazine.

The video is experienced with virtual-reality goggles and a stereo headset, a system developed by Samsung. It supplements conventional promotional videos and is being presented at tourism trade shows and travel media events across Canada and in in Beijing and Shanghai in June.

To view the video and another showing how it was made, go online to youtube.com and search for “Destination BC The Wild Within.”

ESTONIA’S GOTHIC SPLENDOUR IRENE BUTLER

SPECIAL TO KTW

travelwriterstales.com

I

suddenly feel my hand being clutched — and not by my husband Rick.

I turn to see a knight in chainmail armour falling before me on bended knee — not for undying love, but for a one-euro photo-op.

We are in front of the Old Town Hall, which has been on this spot since at least 1322, the present building dating back to 1404. Vana Toomas (Old Thomas), symbolizing Tallinn, appears as a weather vane atop the hall. Legend has it that, as a peasant lad, Old Thomas won an archery contest reserved for nobility and, instead of being punished, he was invited to become a guard.

This is our first of many meanderings around medieval Lower Town’s Raekoja plats (Town Hall Square), at the city’s heart for eight centuries. The vibes of the Middle Ages emanate from Gothic edifices, now turned into tempt the tourist shops and restaurants with outside seating placed under great umbrellas.

Cheery young people in medieval dress wave menus to entice passersby to partake of a morsel or sip a drink in their establishment.

Town Hall Pharmacy (Raeapteek) is said to be one of

The view from Estonia’s Upper Old Town, where the wealthy used to look down their noses on the commoners, is breathtaking.

the oldest continually running pharmacies in Europe; by 1422 it belonged to its third owner. Old apothecary equipment sides the walls, but medieval remedies, such as crushed dried bee wings, have been replaced with current pharmacy offerings, such as aspirin.

Olde Hansa is a shop stacked with goods that gained popularity centuries ago: goblets, tar soap, onion jam and some odd shoes with curled-up toes. Sales clerk Anna is on hand to clarify

a shoe was not just a shoe back then, but a show of wealth.

“These are commoner shoes with hardly any curl,” she says. “The rich wore shoes with curls almost reaching their knees, with metal rings for strings to attach the curl to their midcalves. The king’s curl was tied to his waist, so you can see why he was carried.”

Anna invites me and two other shoppers to partake in a snort of pepper schnapps, brewed in-house.

Taking the traditional

stance — baby finger at the bottom and thumb on the rim of the shot glass, other hand on the head (a sign of respect) and one leg crossed in front of the other at the knee — we toast in unison. Then, down the hatch. Very tasty.

On another day, we climb Toompea Hill, known as Upper Old Town, to see how the wealthy once looked down their noses at the commoners.

pleted in 1900. The Toompea Castle, which for seven centuries served the nation’s foreign masters, today houses the parliament of Estonia.

We move along to the formidable 15thcentury stone bastion, Kiek in de Kök (Peep into the Kitchen). The curious name stems from soldiers joking about how from the top they could look down into the kitchens of the houses below.

Inside, spiral stone stairs lead to many levels displaying torture devices and weaponry Jul

from the medieval ages right up to the Second World War. The nearby Bastion Tunnels are next. We don small blankets to wrap around our shoulders against the chill and follow Anilee, our guide, down uneven stone steps to tread through 300 metres (of the total 500 metres) that are currently staked out.

Along our route, we learn the various uses of these tunnels over the years. A small cell is where Catherine the Great had a 71-year-old

monk imprisoned for speaking out against her. In this damp, cold, lonely place, he lasted four years before his soul departed.

During the Second World War, the tunnels became air-raid shelters used by the Germans and, later, the Russians. A gasmasked mannequin and old radio equipment sets the scene.

After being abandoned for decades, during the 1980s, punkers moved in to party and hide from the militia.

From 1991 to 2005, during the turmoil of Estonia’s newfound independence and skyrocketing unemployment, the tunnels became shelters for homeless people.

Out in the brilliant sunshine again, it’s time to purchase a bag of fresh-roasted almonds that had been stirred in a vat with cinnamon and sugar — a good pairing for our cappuccinos.

Tallinn’s gothic structures, along with the living-history atmosphere of medieval costumes and customs displayed by shop/restaurant staff, and the bustling light-heartedness of the town squares will forever linger on as a happy memory.

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!
