Michael Forry spent time in a coma and has suffered brain damage following the March 2013 incident at the Brocklehurst 7-Eleven store, where he was attacked with a longboard. The teenager who hit Forry has pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated assault and is expected to be sentenced today. Go online to kamloopsthisweek.com, where video of the confrontation — captured by the store’s security camera — will be posted today (Feb. 28).

Teen in board attack to learn sentence today

By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Emotions ran high in a Kamloops courtroom on Thursday, Feb. 27, as the Crown retraced the events of an incident last year in which a teenager attacked a 46-yearold man with a skateboard, landing him in a three-week coma.

The boy, who is now 16 and cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, sobbed openly in Kamloops provincial court as the courtroom was shown a surveillance video from a Brocklehurst convenience store depicting the March 24, 2013, incident that left Michael Forry with a permanent brain injury.

(KTW applied successfully to gain access to the video and post it online at kamloopsthisweek.com. It will likely be online today, Feb. 28) The teen has pleaded guilty to

one count of aggravated assault.

Court heard the altercation began when Forry, who was intoxicated after drinking with a friend at a pair of North Kamloops pubs — one from which they were kicked out — crossed paths with the teen on Desmond Street.

The teen was with two friends — a boy and a girl — jaywalking in front of a vehicle in which Forry was the passenger.

Court heard the teen raised his middle finger at the vehicle, which angered Forry. “[The teen] was told by Mr. Forry that he would shove the skateboard up [the teen’s] ass,” Crown prosecutor Frank Caputo said.

“He responded by swinging the longboard at the vehicle, not making contact. At that point, Mr. Forry got outside of the vehicle.”

Court heard Forry stiff-armed the teenaged girl on his way to the boy

with the skateboard.

The altercation spilled into the parking lot of the 7-Eleven at Tranquille Road and Desmond Street, while the girl entered the store and asked for help.

“Witnesses reported that she seemed scared and asked to call police,” Caputo said.

One witness told police he heard Forry threaten the teen prior to the attack, saying, “I’m going to f--you up, homie” and “You’re a little bitch.”

The surveillance video shows the altercation in the parking lot, though there is no sound.

Forry appeared unsuspecting when the teen lunged at him and struck him with the skateboard.

The attacker then entered the 7-Eleven and asked that police be called.

“According to one witness, he said it was self-defence, giggled and

then left,” Caputo said.

He was arrested a short time later.

Forry addressed the court and described how much his life has changed in the past 11 months.

“They took away my driver’s licence, they took away my job,” he said. “Everything I had worked for was no longer because I had no money.

“No matter what I did before this action — if I drank too much or was mouthy — what happened next, there was no need for it, when I was struck by a longboard when I was walking away.”

For his part, the teen, who has been living in a pilot-project provincially funded home on Vancouver Island since May, said he wants to continue to “make positive changes” in his life.

“I deeply regret what happened,” he said.

“I made a terrible mistake and I’m very sorry.”

According to his probation officer, the teen has “turned a corner” since the incident involving Forry and two other angry outbursts in the weeks that followed.

The Crown is seeking a twomonth jail sentence, while defence lawyer Tom Weiss wants to see him placed on a probation term.

Weiss said a period of incarceration would derail the treatment of the teen’s “underlying issues.”

“They are being treated,” he said, pointing to a report that said the teen’s risk to re-offend will increase if he’s jailed.

“They will not be treated in the same fashion if he’s in a forensic institution in custody.”

Kamloops provincial court Judge Stephen Harrison is expected to make a decision on sentence today.

Columbia Street Open House ~ Update Thank you to everyone who braved the cold to attend the Public Meeting for the Columbia Street Reconstruction project on February 5, 2014.

Despite the cold weather, almost 100 people attended and provided feedback on this important capital project. Over the next month, the City will be compiling and digesting all of the feedback that was received. The design team will then review the requests/concerns and determine if they can be accommodated or addressed within the project scope and budget. At that time, a document summarizing the feedback, and the comments from the design team, will be made available on the City's website. This information will also be provided to Council for information.

Once this part of the process is complete, the detail design will commence and is expected to be completed later this year. A final open house will be held early next year (2015) prior to construction, to allow residents and business owners to see the final design and discuss any construction related concerns with the City.

The intersection at Columbia and 4th is one slated for upgrades in 2015.

Ajax needs federal panel review So says proposed mine foe as he points to Prosperity rejection

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A leading opponent of the proposed Ajax mine in Kamloops says Ottawa’s rejection of the Prosperity mine shows why the Ajax file needs stronger oversight.

John Schleiermacher, spokesman for the Kamloops Area preservation society, said he thinks Prosperity’s repeated rejections by the federal government in the face of strong support from the B.C. Liberal government illustrates why the Ajax proposal needs to undergo a federal panel review.

“The provincial process on the Prosperity mine only identified one issue,” he said.

“The panel review, it actually identified nine issues. It was turned down not just because of the tailings pond. There were eight other issues identified.”

Schleiermacher said that Ajax has even more potential impacts than Prosperity, which isn’t nearly as close to population centres.

While Ottawa has so far rejected calls for the panel process for the proposed copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen, Schleiermacher said he thinks that resistance is starting to fade, particularly when Ajax proponent KGHM has indicated it is revising plans for the mine.

“I think there’s a bit of an open door as

far as a panel review,” he said.

“When this new design comes in, especially with city hall onside and 90,000 people onside all demanding a panel review, I don’t think it’s very practical to deny the people of Kamloops a panel review.”

Meanwhile, Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo MP Cathy McLeod noted he disappointmnt in the decision of her Conservative government to reject Taseko’s proposal for Prosperity southwest of Williams Lake.

Federal Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq said she rejected the $1.5-billion plan from Taseko Mines Ltd. due to environmental concerns.

A broad range of opponents celebrated the decision, including the Sierra Club, the Council of Canadians and the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs.

But, McLeod and fellow Conservative MP Dick Harris both publicly objected.

McLeod called it a huge blow.

“There are tens of thousands of people in the Cariboo who were looking at this project as a lifeline and an opportunity in communities that have been very hard hit,’’ she said.

“I really am feeling incredibly disappointed.’’

Harris, who was first elected under the Reform banner in 1993, said he felt “a little bit of despair’’ about a decision he said shatters the hopes of thousands of people in the Cariboo-Chilcotin region he represents.

He described it as an economically depressed area where many people have been forced to leave to find work elsewhere.

“Taseko mine was their ticket to come back,’’ Harris said.

“The Taseko project was going to allow them to be trained and skilled and employed in a good-paying, 25- to 30-year job in the mine just right out in the area where they live. And this is gone now as a result of the decision.’’

The gold and copper deposit where the mine was planned is 125 kilometres southwest of Williams Lake and is the tenth-largest undeveloped deposit in the world.

Aglukkaq said she rejected the mine because it would have had significant adverse environmental effects that could not be mitigated.

A similar proposal by Taseko was approved by the B.C. government four years ago, but rejected by Ottawa because the plan included draining a lake to hold tailings.

The B.C. government lobbied hard for the revised proposal, which the company said preserved Fish Lake, but a federal environmental-review panel found the mine would still have significant adverse effects.

B.C. Mines Minister Bill Bennett, who had visited Ottawa several times in recent months to press for approval, said the company had a plan that would have avoided the dire impacts that were feared.

An NHL enforcer given the moniker Missing Link during his brief career has gone missing and is now wanted by police.

A provincial court judged issued an arrest warrant on Thursday, Feb. 27, for Link Gaetz, who failed to appear in court or contact his lawyer.

The warrant allows arrest and detention of Gaetz until he is brought before a judge.

Gaetz’s lawyer, Jeremy Jensen, requested in provincial court that he be removed as Gaetz’s lawyer.

“They’re now looking for the Missing Link,” Jensen told Kamloops This Week.

Gaetz was charged with assault and caus-

ing a disturbance after an incident at the Cache Creek Dairy Queen on April 20, 2012.

But, the complainant died in a drowning accident last year and the Crown dropped the assault charge.

A second charge of causing a disturbance remains outstanding.

Gaetz was in custody in Alberta in September last year on other criminal mat-

ters.

Nicknamed Missing Link during his brief NHL career with the San Jose Sharks in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Gaetz reportedly screamed and yelled inside the Cache Creek restaurant and became involved in a consensual fight with several people following a tussle with Jean Guye-Vuilleme.

Defence accuses probation officer

By Cam Fortems

Victim wants name public

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The defence lawyer for a hockey coach accused of sexually exploiting one of her players suggested to a probation officer in court that he underplayed the woman’s trauma of being outed by a family member as being gay.

Defence lawyer Michelle Stanford also said to probation officer Clyde Feero that his use of the term “homosexual lifestyle” was dated.

Cross-examination of Feero came Feb. 27, during the completion of the sentence hearing for a 42-year-old hockey coach who pleaded guilty to sexual exploitation and interference of a person under 16.

At a hearing last week, the Crown outlined the sexual relationship started by the offender with a 15-yearold female Kamloops Minor Hockey Association player.

Neither can be named due to a publication ban intended to protect identity of the victim, now 18.

That relationship lasted about a year and included what the Crown called “countless” sexual encounters between the two — something unknown to teammates, parents and friends of the girl.

A pre-sentence report prepared by Feero found the offender has little remorse.

Stanford said the report had errors and was biased.

The probation officer used the term “homosexual lifestyle” in his report.

Stanford also said the pre-sentence report didn’t include the

The victim in the sentencing of a coach for sexual exploitation wants her name to become public to provide an inspiration to other teenagers who are preyed upon.

Kamloops This Week made an application in B.C. Supreme Court Thursday, Feb. 27, asking that a publication ban be lifted. The ban prevents publication of any information that would lead to identification of the victim.

The hockey player was 15 at the time she was preyed upon by the coach. She is 18 today.

The newspaper asked Justice Hope Hyslop to lift the ban. The victim earlier requested to Crown counsel that her name be made public.

“We have decided to make this application based on the fact the victim in this case has expressed a desire that all facts be revealed, including identity of the accused,” said KTW editor Christopher Foulds.

“If the victim does not oppose the publication of the offender’s name, what reason is there for the ban to remain in place?”

Part of the application made by KTW includes a letter from the young woman.

“I want to try and prevent this by being a positive role model,” the letter said.

The woman said she wants youth who are being sexually abused to “know they can talk about it.

“And, my hopes are that if they see that I was able to get through it, come forward about it and it and talk about it, then it would give them the courage to as well.”

Arguments on the ban will be heard today (Feb. 28).

trauma to her client of being outed as gay by her sibling to her religious family.

A jail sentence is required by the Criminal Code.

Stanford argued for a sentence of 90 days, served on weekends, up to six months in jail.

Crown lawyer Don Mann asked B.C. Supreme Court Justice Hope Hyslop to sentence the coach to nine months to one year in jail.

Mann the court the defence failed to call any evidence showing errors in the pre-sentence report or present any independent psychiatric report showing the coach is remorseful for preying on the hockey player.

Hyslop is expected to render her decision in several weeks.

The exploitation began in fall of 2010 at the start of the season.

America and Europe — was the assistant coach.

During the first few months of the season the two became closer.

Mann said the girl was confused about her sexuality at the time, a fact exploited by the offender.

The two began attending movies and Blazers games. Mann said the parents agreed, believing the offender was a role model.

The Crown also said the offender told the player not to tell her parents about their budding relationship.

The pair kissed about a month-a-half after meeting and, by November, the offender was having sexual relations with the girl.

Their encounters included trips to local tournaments where the two would sleep in the same bed.

TWO VEHICLES SET ON FIRE The police and Fire Department are investigating two vehicle arsons that took place in the early morning of Tuesday February 25th. The first arson took place in the alleyway in the 500 block of Tranquille rd. A red Ford pickup truck had been set on fire, the fire was extinguish prior to the Fire

department arriving.

The second arson took place at the end of Vicars rd., this time a grey 2004 Honda Civic was the target of an arsonist. The fire department attended and put the fire out before it caused any further damage to the surround area.

The police at this point do not

think the two arsons are connected but there are still two vehicle fires that need to be solved.

If you have any information on either of these two arsons, please contact Crime Stoppers, you will receive a cash reward upon the arrest of the suspects

SUSPECT USES STOLEN CREDIT CARD In the early morning of Sunday February 23rd, a vehicle was broken into and was search through and a wallet was stolen.

The suspect wasted little time in using the credit card from the stolen wallet. A female had entered the Mac’s convenience store on the 100 block of Tranquille Rd. The female purchased a couple of

items with the credit card, then left the store. It was a couple of hours later that the credit card owner discovered the wallet was missing.

At that point the credit card company was notified and the card was cancelled but it had already been used at the Mac’s convenience store, the suspect’s photo

was caught on the security camera. The female is described as Caucasian, mid 20’s, long dark hair, wearing a blue ski jacket.

If you know this person, please contact Crime Stoppers, you will remain anonymous and will never have to go to court.

Listening to the public as final budget decision nears

O

N TUESDAY, FEB. 25, we held our final public budget meeting.

Public sessions started last fall, were held in different parts of the city and included web options so people could provide input.

To date, most public input has been for projects not included in our current budget estimates, Those items would add to the final tax bill.

Unfunded requests include an extra RCMP member for domesticviolence incidents, a family washroom in Riverside Park, water service in Cowan Park, a Kermodebear enclosure, matching funds for the Westsyde water park and planning money for a new performingarts centre — to name but a few.

What do you want to see?

Would you support paying a higher tax to support your project of choice?

Most people I have heard from have told me to hold the line on spending and to please keep in mind low-interest returns on retirement incomes.

Lower incomes make it hard to deal with higher costs for fuel, food, electricity and gas.

One senior told me higher taxes could prevent her from staying in her family home as she has no wiggle room with a static income.

Our city costs are higher for electricity and gas, while diesel fuel has risen this year, so we are also experiencing the pinch in services we provide.

MARG SPINA View From

CITY HALL People ask what we have in place as a rainy-day fund.

Do we save for the emergencies that could arise?

Yes. We have a reserve set aside which sits at $9 million, with a goal of $13 million — the amount needed to run the city for about two months.

This is all part of a good city financial-sustainability plan.

We will know the exact amount of our reserve/surplus at the budget meeting on March 25.

Our finance department has a new asset-management project in place.

Individual departments assess the condition of our assets (roads, pipes, bridges) to determine what needs replacing in their capital plans.

For instance, Tranquille Road is rated at 77/100 on the asset-management plan, so it will be about 20 years before major upgrades are needed.

The next phase of the assetmanagement plan will gather the inspection information and input it

into a central database to be able to prioritize capital projects across the city.

Each department has an annual budget set, with all the work/projects included for the coming year.

The budget and work plan go to senior management for review, then on to council for decision.

This is where each item is debated for value and need and a priority is set.

The yearly budget is adjusted as the projects are completed and any cost efficiencies achieved go back into the general fund as surplus at year-end.

The surplus can go into the reserve or help to reduce taxes.

A careful overview is needed to ensure we always have enough in reserve for emergencies.

Budget priorities must align with the city’s strategic plan, which is set at the beginning of each term of office by mayor and council in consultation with the public and staff.

This is where council debates and looks at the long-term vision for the city.

We have included many more public budget sessions to find out what you want now and for the future.

I welcome hearing your thoughts on the budget process.

Dress it up in pink, but problem persists The statistics are alarming.

Bullying is not just an occasional event.

According to a report released by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Canada has the ninth-highest rate of bullying in the 13-year-olds category on a scale of 35 countries and at least one in three teen students reported being bullied.

In addition, 47 per cent of Canadian parents report having a child be a victim of bullying.

Among adult Canadians, 38 per cent of males and 30 per cent of females reported having experienced occasional or frequent bullying during their school years.

The numbers are even worse for students who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans-identified or queer, as the their rate of discrimination is three times higher than heterosexual youth.

Any participation in bullying increases risk of suicidal ideas in youth.

Girls are more likely to be bullied on the Internet than boys.

At work, 40 per cent of Canadian workers surveyed said they experienced bullying on a weekly basis.

But, from where does the urge and the knowledge on how to be a bully come? Children come into this world with no knowledge of hate or discrimination and respond to affection.

Children, as any parent will attest, also learn by modelling behaviour.

Strategies and legislation aimed at preventing bullying and helping victims of bullying are certainly worthwhile ventures.

Perhaps it is time we consider education programs for the parents of bullies.

Pink Day Shirt is a good start, but we need to go beyond slogans to get to the root of this all-toopervasive problem.

Language impacts perception of sex crimes Editor: Re: KTW’s Feb. 25 story (‘Jail urged for coach who preyed on player’): I would like to highlight the language used in sexualized assault cases in court, the media and general society.

A detailed assessment of how victims are portrayed through sexualized language requires the general public to think critically when reading articles such as this one.

Language is not neutral; it creates versions of reality (Bavelas and Coates, 2001.)

This means when language terms such as “girl,” “child,” “sexual relations” and “sexual encounters” are used, the victim is characterized, even romanticized or sexualized, and becomes a willing participant who shares responsibility for an inherently violent, one-sided act.

Children do not have power in a relationship with an adult that they know and trust.

Children do not have the

ability to mutually consent to being exploited.

The adult in the situation has abused their power — plain and simple.

To progress in reducing the prevalence of childhood sexualized assaults, we must begin to pay attention to how we talk about it.

Admittedly, the first step to a solution is to put responsibility into the hands of educated professionals in our judicial system.

They are smart and capable enough to understand that the language they use in court affects how the media will portray it and how society will perceive it.

For example, consider the phrase made by the defense lawyer and reprinted by the newspaper: “It became an albeit illegal, but mostly beneficial, relationship to both. Unfortunately for [the offender], it was illegal.”

The phrase itself is repugnant for any human with a moral compass to suggest.

Furthermore, it effectively changes the unwanted

violation into a pleasurable act, hides the victim’s fear or pain and simplifies her to a willing participant in an inappropriate act.

Following its use in court, the media unwisely reprints the sexualized language believing in the intention of providing unbiased journalism.

Sadly, this is not the result in sexualized assault cases and thus, the second step of the solution belongs to your newspaper and other papers.

The media effectively confirms and normalizes language that softens the violence of the act and transfers responsibility from the offender on to the victim.

Perhaps media does this so society finds the article easier to read? Easier to ignore? Easier to blame a child than an adult?

I am sure that if the victim endured it, we can acknowledge the victim’s experience and witness it, in order to honour their strength and their survival (Bavelas and Coates.)

Regardless of the

reasons the media chooses to print or reprint violent sexualized acts as erotic and affectionate, I believe your newspaper has an implicit responsibility to help reduce the prevalence of childhood sexualized assaults by paying attention to the phrases and language you reprint.

Your newspaper is not simply responsible for sharing news — it is responsible for being ethical and moral.

Is this really your stance on the event where an adult female offender knowingly abused the power of her relationship with a child?

Is this how you want society to draw the lines on right and wrong where child sexualized assaults are concerned?

The sexualized language you reprint only helps to re-victimize the survivor, deter other victims from coming forward and silence the survivor experience.

I think it deserves another look.

Grandparents would most likely not be able to climb the school’s steep steps, so they would be excluded from seeing their grandchildren in Christmas concerts.

Given statistics tell us 50 per cent of people over the age of 75 will have a disability, we can rule out those seniors, too.

Also, children with disabilities from other schools would not be able to participate in inter-school activities held at Stuart Wood.

Last, but not least, teachers and support staff with disabilities who may wish to teach or work at Stuart Wood would not be able to do so.

Scheffel writes: “The ill-conceived plan engineered by bureaucrats who are out of touch with constituents . . .”

It seems to be the reverse — closing Stuart Wood is a progressive plan ensuring all community members are included and silos in our public school system are not created.

Accused in death had been to ‘dark places’

By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The man suspected in a cold-case homicide dating back more than a decade told an undercover Mountie in 2012 he had “been in some pretty dark places,” a jury has been told.

Rob Smith is on trial in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops, facing one count each of manslaughter and interference with a dead body in the 1999 death of Sandy Charlie.

The 46-year-old became the target of an RCMP Mr. Big sting in 2012 — less than a year after Charlie’s body was unearthed accidentally by an excavator in Lytton.

On the witness stand this week is an RCMP constable who can only be identified as R.W., due to a court-ordered ban on the publication of the names of the undercover officers involved in the Smith investigation.

R.W. was describing a conversation he had with Smith as the two drove from Vancouver to Whistler on May 12, 2012.

“Mr. Smith described part of his criminal past and stated he’d been in some pretty dark places,” the officer said.

“But, he said he’d now figured out how to control his anger.”

The jury also listened to recordings of Smith’s interactions with the undercover Mounties he thought

were gangsters trying to recruit him into their powerful criminal organization.

Smith was also comfortable enough with the main RCMP undercover operator that he confided his family problems, including his sister’s suicide and another sister’s efforts to leave her husband.

Over four months in 2012, Smith participated in more than 50 scenarios.

One of them included a trip to the Yukon to clean up a staged murder scene.

Other scenarios involved a corrupt ICBC employee, a crooked cop, criminally involved corrections officers and violent debt collection.

Midway through the operation, R.W. — the main undercover cop assigned to be Smith’s buddy in the gang — told Smith the gang valued honesty and dependability above all else.

He also gave Smith an option of quitting his job as a rebar worker, telling him he could work “smarter, not harder” for the gang.

The jury has listened to several hours of recordings of one of the scenarios done in Abbotsford.

At a hotel, Smith escorted an “investor” — another in a string of undercover Mounties — up to a hotel room, where he turned over money to the bogus criminal operation.

IT’S

Dance Time! at The Heritage House

In the wire recordings, the undercover cop calls the investor “a very important man.”

The two undercover Mounties talked about a property in New York City owned by the investor, while Smith silently counted $50,000 in cash in the background.

In another scenario, Smith described to undercover officers

how he fillets salmon in one cut — which earned him the nickname One Cut, according to R.W. Court heard Smith was worried about “going back to jail” — something R.W. assured him wouldn’t happen, as long as he was honest.

“Mr. Smith explained there’s no way he’s going back,” R.W. said.

“I said there’s no way he would if he’s working with us because I did things that way so nobody goes to jail.

“I said that we were like brothers. Mr. Smith agreed and we bumped fists.”

Mr. Big undercover stings are elaborate and expensive operations staged by the RCMP, usually only in the course of a homicide

investigation.

The operations involve undercover Mounties posing as members of a powerful criminal organization and attempting to befriend a murder suspect.

Once the suspect begins to trust the supposed gangsters, he is asked to come clean about any criminal missteps in his past with the implied prom-

ise that the powerful gang leader will make them go away.

The meeting is video recorded and the taped confessions are played in court.

The jury has been told Smith explained to undercover Mounties how he killed Smith and buried his body.

That videotaped confession is expected to be played in court next week.

What’s in a name? Nothing — yet

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A plan to sell naming rights to fields and ice sheets around the Tournament Capital isn’t moving ahead with the speed the city had initially anticipated.

Last spring, the city announced it would partner with the Kamloops Sports Council to create the Tournament Capital Club Partnership Program, a plan to sell naming rights and use the funds to help local sports societies cover the hosting costs for major events At the time, Kamloops Sports Council president Henry Pejril said the plan could raise about

$350,000 a year for the city.

However, after nine months, the city’s fields and rinks still bear the same names they’ve had for years and the program has yet to raise any cash.

Bryce Herman, who is selling the rights, said the city and sports council aren’t giving up on the program, but thinks announcing the plan in 2013 may have been premature.

“They should have had one or two in the hopper before they made the press release,” he said.

“It’s no different than any organization going out to do fundraising. The United Way, what do they do? They go out and raise as much as they can

before they make the announcement.”

Herman said there is interest in the program, but no firm commitments yet for sponsorship.

Securing firm contracts could be another year or so away.

“I think it’s just that, when people look at it, they’re looking at it being marketing versus it being an actual sponsorship,” he said.

“It comes out of different budgets. So, it’s about planting the seed.

“And most of the people I’ve talked to, whether it’s financial institutions or anything, are saying those are two- to three-year initiatives.”

Lake City Casino, employees have tentative deal There could be labour peace at Lake City Casinos.

The B.C. Government and Employees’ Union (BCGEU) has reached a tentative agreement with Lake City Casinos in Kamloops, Vernon, Kelowna and Penticton.

“Some of the highlights are three sick days and an increase for supervisors from $1.50 to $2 per hour when supervising,” said Karen Tankard, the BCGEU’s communications officer.

The contract calls for a general hourly wage increase of 27 cents in 2013, 27 cents in 2014 and 31 cents in 2015.

There would also be access to the BCGEU pension plan for all employees who meet eligibility requirements.

“Ratification votes are this week,” said Tankard.

“We should have results in early next week. We are recommending our members accept.”

Methadone to methadose raising concerns

By Dale Bass

mean starting with one-tenth of that amount of methadose and adding the exact amount of water to measure one-fifth of a teaspoon.

Koochin said methadone is a good pain reliever, although it loses its effectiveness the longer one is taking it, because it “gives a constant level of medication, which is better than the shorter periods of time with other meds.”

The Ministry of Health switched to methadose from methadone after Health Canada recommended it, spokesman Ryan Jabs said.

“Methadose will help reduce the risk of errors associated with the methadone formula because it is a standard solution that does not need to be manually compounded,” he wrote in an email to KTW. Jabs noted Health Canada recommends using commercial products rather than compounding ingredients to create the product.

Dr. Heidi Oetter, registrar for the B.C. College of Physicians and Surgeons, said it agreed with the change because methadose can be kept at room temperature — methadone requires refrigeration — and is an “off-the-shelf” drug.

Patients are encouraged to keep it locked up, however, because the colour and taste (red and cherry for methadose, orange for methadone)

Methadose comes in a red, cherry flavour, whereas methadone is orange.

Users of methadose need to take only one-tenth of the amount of methadone dose they would normally ingest.

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Changes to the way methadone is distributed has left staff at ASK Wellness Centre “scrambling,” said agency executive director Bob Hughes — and have left one Kamloops man concerned about getting the proper dosage.

In January, the provincial Ministry of Health announced the formula that had been given to pharmacists to dispense would be changed to a new one known as methadose.

Methadose is a more concentrated formula than methadone, with users now only required to take one-tenth of the methadone dose they are used to ingesting.

The ministry said the change was made because methadone needs to be compounded by pharmacists, while methadose does not.

For Thomas Jones, however, the new drug and its higher concentration has made it difficult for him to ensure he receives that accurate — and small — dosage he requires.

Jones was prescribed methadone to deal with pain from surgeries and to assist in helping him stop taking other opiate pain medication.

The way he does this, he said, is to reduce his methadone dosage over

time as his body heals.

Prior to hip and spine operations, Jones said, he was prescribed fentanyl, an opiate that is about 100 times stronger than morphine.

The problem with the drug, Jones said, is it is difficult to cut the dosage back. His doctor prescribed methadone and, in the case of both surgeries, he gradually reduced the dosage to the point he is now at such a small dosage, “it would be a tiny drop in a

bottle,” he said.

Harvey Koochin, Jones’ partner and a medical doctor, has been diluting the methadose for Jones.

The Valleyview physician said it’s not an easy procedure, one that requires calibrated measuring devices and a head for math.

The methadone dose Jones is at now, Koochin said, would be equivalent to about one-fifth of a teaspoon; to create it with methadose would

can appeal to children.

“Every time you have to mix from scratch, there is potential for error,” Oetter said, adding factories that produce methadose compound it under strictly controlled conditions, with quality controls in place.

Hughes said his staff at ASK were also concerned about the change and have been working since it was implemented on Feb.1 to advise people the agency works with about the new dosage.

If they were to mistakenly take their traditional dose amount of methadose, he said, it could lead to overdoses.

Hughes estimated there are about 1,000 people in Kamloops prescribed methadone. He said there were about 47 overdose deaths in the city last year, up from 29 the year before.

About 10 drugstores in the city dispense the drug, which Hughes said has often been called liquid handcuffs because methadone is a long-term treatment.

“It’s just a tool,” he said. “It isn’t the answer.”

Hughes said a study in Vancouver on alternative treatments for people battling heroin addiction “is so important.”

That study is looking at other medications to determine if they would be a better treatment.

Thrive Festival will not take place in 2014 Kamloops city council can strike one item off its list of supplemental budget items for 2014.

Organizers of the Kamloops Thrive Festival have pulled their request for $37,500 from the city for its second year of operations.

Barbara Berger, the city’s manager of recreation, social development and culture, said the festival

needed a guarantee it would receive financing from the city well ahead of the March 25 date when its request will be debated.

Based on her discussions with festival head Alan Corbishley, Berger said it appears Thrive won’t be going ahead at all in 2014.

Corbishley confirmed as much to Kamloops This

Week via email.

“To ensure quality is not compromised, we have decided to focus on 2015 and offer ‘pop-up’ Thrive events in June and the rest of the year,” he said.

Berger expects Thrive organizers will resubmit their request to the city for funding for an event in 2015, but will make sure to do so at an earlier date.

Rivers sculpture will soon have artistic company in Riverside Park area The Rivers sculpture will have some artistic competition by spring.

Kamloops’ next artistic feature will soon be installed near Heritage House said the city’s manager of recreation, social development and culture Barbara Berger.

Last year, city council gave its approval to the project, which has a maximum budget of $80,000, including installation.

It will not have final say on the design, which was picked by an evaluation team put together by the city’s arts commission. The same process was used to select Rivers, which was installed in the Lorne Street roundabout earlier this month.

Berger said the pending piece isn’t public art per se. It’s primarily intended to be a sign welcoming visitors to Riverside Park.

“There is a creative element to it,” she said. “But, in our RFP for it, we said we wanted people to clearly know where they are.”

Berger said the city asked artists to submit proposals that incorporated elements of the park’s history, uses or geographical elements, such as the meeting of the Thompson Rivers.

While an artist has been selected, Berger said the contract for the signage isn’t finalized yet and the city won’t release the name of the designer until that point.

This won’t be the first time an artistic piece has found a home in the space between the Rotary Bandshell and Heritage House.

Public works director Jen Fretz said the new line will allow for further growth on the city’s South Shore and offer backup for the existing sewer line, which is at capacity.

Kristen Meersman, streets and capital projects manager for the city, said staff were able to significantly bring down the cost of the project by putting it to tender early in 2014 and allowing companies to consider two different types of pipe in their bids.

Meersman said that helped keep pipe prices from being over-inflated by manufacturers.

Work on the line, which carries sewages from as far away as Campbell Creek to the city’s sewage treatment centre, is set to being in March.

Ex-Canucks owner to testify?

By Allison Jones

CANADIAN PRESS

court that McCaw, who is not an individual defendant, even has relevant evidence to give.

A jury should be able to hear McCaw answer whether he knew Canucks players were gunning for retaliation against Moore for a hit weeks earlier on former Canucks’ captain Markus Naslund that resulted in a concussion, Danson argued.

Bertuzzi has alleged Canucks’ then-coach Marc Crawford urged his players to make Moore “pay the price,’’ while Crawford has claimed Bertuzzi disobeyed instructions to get off the ice before Moore was attacked.

Players were issuing public threats against Moore before the hit, Danson said, and what McCaw did or didn’t do about it is “highly relevant to the question of negligence.’’

“There’s no way that you can have the intensity of the public threats over

any liability found against the team, which Danson said was a condition of the sale.

“If he doesn’t testify, if he doesn’t come forward, our case is going to be significantly weakened,’’ Danson said.

“So, he knows it’s not in his best interest to testify because, if he testifies, it will be . . . to the benefit of the plaintiffs.’’

Moore is suing Bertuzzi and the Canucks for $38 million for the 2004 on-ice punch that left Moore, then a Colorado Avalanche player, with a concussion and three fractured vertebrae.

Bertuzzi pleaded guilty to a criminal charge of assault causing bodily harm and was sentenced in 2006 to a year’s probation and 80 hours of community service.

Moore never played hockey again following the attack.

The court is expected to issue a decision in a few weeks.

three weeks going on unless the corporate culture set by Mr. McCaw allowed it — and he has to answer to that,’’ Danson said.

Danson suggested McCaw fostered a corporate culture that may have at least implicitly approved such an attack, including having as the president and general manager Brian Burke, who was “unapologetic about promoting violence in hockey.’’

“Were Burke and Crawford carrying out the wishes of McCaw?’’ Danson asked. “Or given the ‘wink’ . . . when it came to getting Mr. Moore?’’

McCaw no longer owns the Canucks, having sold his Orc Bay company, now known as Canucks Sports and Entertainment.

But, Danson noted, he maintains a “very significant financial interest’’ in the outcome of the lawsuit as he is still on the hook for half of

TORONTO — The former owner of the Vancouver Canucks should be forced to answer, in front of a jury, if he approved a careerending sucker punch on Steve Moore, a lawyer for the former NHL player argued in court on Thursday, Feb. 27.

It’s now 10 years since Todd Bertuzzi’s infamous attack and Moore’s multimillion-dollar lawsuit is finally approaching trial.

Moore’s lawyer, Tim Danson, is asking the Ontario Superior Court to compel John McCaw Jr., who is based in Seattle, to testify in Toronto.

“He just goes on with his life with the incredible privileges of being a billionaire . . . while Steve Moore tries to recover from a shattered life,’’ Danson said.

“For him to say, ‘I’m not going to come and testify in any capac-

ity’ is regrettable. It’s regrettable and it defies principles of fairness and justice. For him to simply hide behind his U.S. citizenship and residency, given the nature of all of these facts, should not be accepted and it’s not something the public would accept.’’

NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and deputy commissioner Bill Daly have voluntarily agreed to testify, Danson said.

Master Ronald Dash, who is hearing the motion, said he would not order McCaw to testify in person at the trial, slated to begin in September, but is considering Danson’s alternate request that McCaw testify via video conference.

McCaw’s lawyer, Steven Frankel, argued the court doesn’t have jurisdiction to do that and suggested Danson is trying to do an “end run’’ around very specific court rules.

Frankel said there is no evidence before the

Man who beheaded passenger granted unescorted trips

By Steve Lambert CANADIAN PRESS

WINNIPEG — A man who beheaded a fellow passenger on a Greyhound bus in Manitoba will soon be allowed to leave a mentalhealth centre without an escort.

The ruling on Thursday, Feb. 27, by the Criminal Code Review Board means Vince Li will be on his own in public for the first time since he stabbed Tim McLean and then ate parts of his body six years ago.

The board granted Li all the new freedoms his psychiatric team had requested at a hearing earlier this week. Lead psychiatrist Dr. Steven Kremer said Li, a schizophrenic, has stopped experiencing delusions and is a model, nonviolent patient.

Instead of the supervised out-

ings Li had been granted previously, he will be allowed unescorted trips from the Selkirk Mental Health Centre into the nearby city of Selkirk Man. The visits, to begin next Thursday, are to start at 30 minutes and increase to full days.

As well, Li’s supervision on outings to other communities — Winnipeg, Lockport and nearby beaches — will be relaxed.

He is to be part of a group without a staff member dedicated to monitoring him.

Li is also to be moved to an unlocked ward at the hospital from the secure wing, where he has been kept.

For McLean’s mother, the changes are an outrage.

“We’re not surprised. We’re very disappointed, embarrassed,

Kelowna scientist on ‘mission’ to Mars

By Ron Seymour

CANADIAN PRESS

KELOWNA — A Kelowna scientist is joining the crew of a NASA-funded simulated mission to Mars after beating out hundreds of applicants from around the world.

Ross Lockwood and five others will spend four months inside a sealed environment high on the slopes of a Hawaiian mountain.

The main purpose of the mission, starting March 28, is to help the space agency develop psychological guidelines that will be used to select future astronauts capable of making a real trip to Mars.

“It’s incredibly exciting to participate in a research project that

will be used to help in space exploration,’’ Lockwood said.

“I’m really looking forward to this, but I’m also a little bit nervous as well.’’

Lockwood, 27, is doing his doctorate in condensed matter physics at the University of Alberta.

Along with his longtime interest in space-related research and astronomy, Lockwood has worked in educational programs at the University of Alberta Observatory.

His scientific background and experience in various university leadership roles helped him succeed in his application to participate in the simulated Mars mission, which will be led by the University of Hawaii.

Crown attorney Susan Helenchilde did not oppose the changes proposed at the hearing.

She noted that Li has co-operated with hospital staff at all times.

Li’s doctors said he willingly takes his medication and understands the imporVINCE LI: tance of Set for day trips six years doing after horrific attack. so.

ashamed,’’ Carol DeDelley said.

“I ultimately do not believe that when you take a life, you have the right to freedom any longer.’’

Li, 46, was found not criminally responsible for stabbing and beheading McLean, a young carnival worker, in July 2008.

The two men were strangers when Li sat next to McLean on a bus ride to Winnipeg from Edmonton.

Li’s attack was unprovoked — he said he heard voices telling him to kill McLean.

The bus stopped and horrified passengers fled as Li carved up McLean’s body.

Li was initially kept inside a locked wing of the Selkirk MentalHealth Centre for 24 hours a day.

Each year, the review board has granted him more freedoms.

The researchers will enter the 11-metre diameter dome built in an old rock quarry at an elevation of 2,500 metres on the slopes of Mauna Loa. Inside the habitat, participants will spend several hours a day taking psychological tests and continuing with their own research endeavours as part of the venture dubbed HI-SEAS, for Hawaii Space Exploration and Analog Simulation.

Lockwood plans to use Twitter and Facebook to chronicle his experiences, though his communications will be delayed by up to 20 minutes — the time it would take messages to travel to Earth from Mars.

DeDelley is not convinced.

She said there is no way to

guarantee that Li will continue to take his drugs if he’s unsupervised.

“He poses no threat in care. I propose they keep him in care so he’s not a threat.’’

DeDelley has been running a website — timslaw.ca — on which she highlights cases across the country in which people found not criminally responsible for crimes re-offend after being released.

“They get to a point where they’re feeling well, that they don’t require the medication, that it’s everybody else that is sick,” she said.

The review board holds annual hearings for people found not criminally responsible to review conditions imposed on them.

Li’s psychiatric team has said the ultimate goal is to reintegrate him into society.

Now, with our dog Tiger in tow, we were off to Swartz Bay and the scenic drive through the Saanich peninsula.

Eager to share the charms of Victoria’s Willows Beach with Tiger, we drove straight to Oak Bay. Local dogs on the shore made him welcome and we enjoyed stunning views of Mount Baker.

A block up the street, we stayed with tradition and shared fish and chips under the oaks while planning our next jaunt.

We’d never seen Craigdarroch Castle, an extravagant project of Victorian coal baron Robert Dunsmuir. The luxurious interior has survived indifferent occupants and two world wars.

Now a national historic site, Craigdarroch

has been restored to its original splendour and is a powerful reminder of the energy and prosperity of the Victorian era.

When it was completed in 1890, you could buy a decent home in Victoria for $600. The castle’s woodwork and paneling alone cost $46,000.

Dunsmuir never got to see the exquisite finished product because he died in April 1889.

After the baroque tastes of the Victorians, we refreshed our senses at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria.

Despite its humble beginnings as a family home, this gallery houses B.C.’s largest public collection of visual arts, including an excellent collection of Emily Carr’s paintings. (A reminder that the Vancouver Art Gallery isn’t the sole keeper of this eminent artist’s paintings.)

Next was an exhibit I am sure Carr herself would appreciate.

Urban Thunderbirds showcases traditional First Nations art and encompasses discussions about First Nations’ ideas and personal life stories in urban settings such as Vancouver, New York, Paris and Rome.

Taking another turn, we were soothed by the stunning woodcuts of Kiyoshi Saito.

Saito’s art was new to me, but his prints had the unmistakable stamp of a master.

We followed the tourists-at-home procedure and bought a book of his prints at the gift shop to keep the inspiration alive.

After all, this was a trip about memories.

Encounters with artistic and architectural masterpieces are rigorous work, so we happily followed the fragrance of fresh baking and coffee into one of the city’s many cafes.

Refreshed and rejuvenated, we were up for exploring the charming boutiques in Cook Street Village.

Our search yielded antique earrings; gold mementos for our silver anniversary.

A little lighter in the wallet, we headed north through the magical afternoon light that makes Victoria so special.

In the suburb of Hillside, we relaxed into the comforts of home with our old friend Joan and her dog Mamasita.

Home stays can be the best part of our travels and dinner with Joan and Mamasita was another best. Her little bungalow is the perfect Victoria hideaway, fronting as it does a lush and peaceful backyard.

Bright and early in the morning, we were back in the saddle, metaphorically speaking, and heading through the Malahat to revisit Coombs.

Yes — the market still has goats grazing on the roof and dream catchers floating over the piles of organic produce.

Skagit Tulip Festival 4 early booker discounts left!

Then it was a winding thirty minutes via the mountainous Port Alberni Highway 4 through majestic Cathedral Grove and into Port Alberni.

This town isn’t the most romantic stop for a couple revisiting their anniversary.

However, there’s a family connection here — a grave of Katherine’s pioneer grandmother lies in the old cemetery and we wanted to see if we could find it.

Our search didn’t locate the stone, but finding El Pescadores, a bistro at the edge of town, made up for the disappointment.

Twenty-five years together has deepened our interest in family history, so the return drive took us into quiet Nanoose Bay. We arrived at the home of cousin Ted in time for a welcome dinner. The tales flowed with the good wine and we left, reluctantly, to catch our boat home.

Nothing is more nostalgic than a trip over water and we were a little sad leaving our memories behind.

We were comforted with new and vibrant impressions as we sailed for home. Good tidings for our next trip to Vancouver Island — and our inspiration for the next 25 years.

BARRY JOSEPH HOFFMAN July 7, 1948 – February 22, 2014

Her husband (Jim) passed away in 2005. Mom is survived by her four children, all in Kamloops, Jacki, Gail (Steve), Norm (Debbie) and Lorri (Richard). She is also survived by nine grandchildren and twelve great grandchildren.

Born in Dawson Creek, BC the family moved from Kilkerren to Dawson when Barry was two. In high school Bear was a star basketball player with a love for hockey, baseball and motorcycles.

Bear was an outgoing person making many friends wherever he went. He loved music with a roaring fire, brother Jesse playing guitar; they would sing long into the night.

Fishing, hunting and cooking were Bear’s passions. In the wilderness we had such great fun telling stories, teasing, singing while enjoying a drink of Palm Breeze. Bear was the go-to person in a family that loves him forever.

Kamco Installations was Bear’s other love. A certified crane operator foreman Barry always stepped up to the challenge of every job.

A man of courage, Barry helped all of us through the last five years. Our family is filled with much love and gratitude and extends a very special thank you to:

Dr. Doug Hamilton - You got us through this Doug! xo Gemstone Care Centre - You wowed us with your compassion! Bear’s Gals, Angels as he called you, were there for him through laughter and tears. Always a laugh as Bear and Lyle became the “naughty boys”! Karen, we are truly grateful, you were there to guide Barry as his earthly light grew dim.

Handi Dart Folks - You’re simply wonderful, we couldn’t have had our “at home time” without you. Thank you!

We as a family are eternally grateful for all who helped us enjoy our Bear.

A Celebration of life will be held at a later date when the clan gathers to share stories.

Footprints One night a man had a dream, He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two set of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.

This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. “Lord, you said that once I decided to followed you, you’d walk with me all the way.

But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me.”

The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”

ROBERT HOLLIDAY 1935 ~ 2014

January 25, 1955 - February 17, 2014

On February 17, 2014, Lark passed away peacefully with her husband and family by her side at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice after a very brief but very courageous battle with lung cancer. We are all so proud of our little Honey Badger, and would like to extend thanks to Dr. Kraig Montalbetti, the nursing staff on 7N at RIH and the amazing angels at Hospice. Lark was predeceased by her parents William and Carol Derksen and her older brother Mark Derksen. Lark is survived by her loving husband Clint Hicks, brother Barry (Sandra) Derksen, Tim (Colleen) Derksen, Darryl (Shelley) Derksen and Aron (Laura) Derksen. Many nieces and nephews, Jarrett (Celine), Christopher (Amy), Travis, Kalsie, Chrystal (Richard), Alysha (Mark), Shaily, Breanna, Brooklynn, Kimberlee and Ben. God Daughter Katie, daughter Amber and son Steve.

Along with many aunts, uncles and cousins in the Kamloops/Salmon Arm corridor.

Lark was born in Rabbitt Lake Saskatchewan, January 25, 1955 and her parents moved to Mission BC when she was very little, after a number of years the family relocated to Sorrento, BC where she resided until leaving home to make her way in the world. Being the adventerous type Lark found herself in northern BC working in the logging industry.

Lark nally settled back into the Kamloops area and worked many jobs in the food service industry, particularily enjoying her last job working the cafeteria at Sa-Hali Secondary school.

In the early nineties, Lark met her future husband Clint on a houseboat trip on the Shuswap and the rest as they say is history. They married in 1995, and lived a few years in Mission, then moved to Kamloops again for a couple of years, then to Falkland for eight years and nally back in to Kamloops. Lark enjoyed a good book, crosswords (only the easy kind), golf, camping (golf and camping at Wells Gray Golf and RV Park) and travelling. Lark loved horseback riding and was an able equestrian. Lark and Clint were fortunate to be able to do a lot of travelling together, San Diego, Hawaii, Nashville, Boca Raton, Miami, Arizona, Vegas and Mexico to name a few. Lark loved life, she had a big laugh for such a little girl and anyone that came into her orbit would eventually come to love her. We will all miss our little Honey Badger, such a little gal had such a big impact on all of us and she leaves a big hole in our hearts that will take a long time to heal. Heaven has gained a Honey Badger angel, and we take comfort in knowing those big expressive eyes are keeping a watch out for us from above.

A celebration of Lark’s life will be held on March 22, 2014 at 1:00 pm at the Barnhartvale Community Hall. If you were touched in life by this marvelous little woman, come out and share a memory of her.

In lieu of owers, donations can be made to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice.

DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE AND WEEP Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond glint on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you wake in the morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight.

I am the soft starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.

I am not there, I do not sleep.

Do not stand at my grave and cry.

I am not there, I did not die!

TRU women on playoff trail

By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

T

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

IPPING OFF IN A PLAYOFF series for the third consecutive season, head coach Scott Reeves and the TRU WolfPack women’s basketball team are still looking for their first post-season victory.

This season the WolfPack will be forced to beat a team that has rattled off 19 straight victories if they’re to get it.

The team flew to Edmonton on Thursday, Feb. 27, and will kick off its first-round Canada West playoff matchup against the Alberta Pandas tonight (Feb. 28).

Alberta went 20-2 in the regular season and finished atop the Prairie Division with the best record in the Canada West.

“This is our third time in a row going to playoffs,” Reeves said.

“I think there’s a bit of anxiety, maybe.

We want to try and at least win a game here, if not two games.”

Reeves noted the feeling around his squad is excitement, though he’s sure there’s nerves among the new players entering their first playoff game, as well as the veterans entering their third such match.

“I kind of downplayed the gravity of the situation, I guess, the experience,” he said.

“We’ve made playoffs, but we haven’t won a playoff game yet, so we’re really excited to get after that.”

TRU defeated Alberta in the only matchup between the two squads this season, a 67-58 victory at the Tournament Capital Centre on Nov. 11.

Alberta’s only other loss came against the Regina Cougars, the second-best team in the West, before winning the first of 19 straight the following night against the

KAMLOOPS

Saskatchewan club.

The WolfPack enter the series as the fourth-place team in the Pacific Division and is 13-9, riding a three-game winning streak.

“Everything is about execution in the playoffs,” Reeves said.

“The teams that aren’t executing are not in the playoffs any more.”

Reeves described Alberta as one of the most well-rounded teams in the Canada West, boasting size, chemistry, shooting ability and playoff experience.

History is on the WolfPack’s side, having won the last two games against the Pandas — the other victory a 72-69 overtime thriller in Edmonton in 2012 — but that means little to Reeves and his squad now.

“They didn’t shoot the ball particularly well from three-point range and we shot it very well,” he said of this season’s game.

“If you can shoot the three, you can stay with most teams out there.”

The WolfPack will be forced to win on the road if they’re to advance to the Canadian Interuniversity Sports championships in Windsor in March — as their division’s lowest-seeded playoff team, they will play the entire post-season away from Kamloops.

Starting things off in Alberta won’t be easy — the last time TRU played in Edmonton, the Pandas had more than 1,600 fans in attendance.

“We never look to just one person to do anything. It will have to be a team effort,” Reeves said.

“There’s no one person that’s going to be able to win a playoff series — ever.”

Zimmerman led the Canada West in three-point field goal percentage (.452) and was third in scoring, averaging 19.3 points per game.

“I was thankful and blessed to win this award,” Zimmerman said.

“I have worked very hard and, although it’s a team game, this was one of the individual accomplishments I wanted to achieve.”

Broncos name new GM

By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops Broncos named a new general manager this week, installing Jan Antons to the position vacated by former GM Darryl Chow.

Chow, who left the position at the end of the 2013 season, has joined the board of directors as a director at large.

Antons is an involved member of the Kamloops sporting community and will handle the operational side of the B.C. Football Conference team, organizing road trips, soliciting sponsorship and helping to grow the Kamloops Broncos brand.

“We were looking for someone who was familiar with the organization and knew the direction that we were looking to go,” said club president Dino Bernardo.

“The big thing that Jan brings is, businesswise, he’s super savvy and he’s got a lot of experience at doing a lot of the work that we need someone to be doing in that role.”

The affable German-Canadian is an assistant athletic

trainer with the WHL’s Kamloops Blazers.

Antons was an athletic trainer with the Broncos before being named GM and has worked in similar roles with Kamloops Venom lacrosse, the Calgary Hitmen, the Calgary Flames and the Calgary Stampeders.

One of his priorities entering his new role will be to grow the fan base.

Antons will be peripherally involved in player recruitment and development, but the Broncos are hoping to add a director of player personnel position who will be more directly involved with those responsibilities.

“I’ve worked with the Broncos for a couple years now and I really like the way the team is going,” Antons said.

“We can move it into the right direction and make it a better team and, hopefully, get more people in Kamloops involved with the team.”

Antons leaves today (Thursday, Feb. 27) for Sochi, Russia, where he will be an equipment manager with Canada’s Paralympic sledge hockey team.

As the Fuoco kids grew older they all became young entrepreneurs in their own right, and when Ann Marie moved back to Kamloops she opened Light Your World.

For the next 18 years she has worked hard to establish Light Your World as a premier lighting store in town. “The challenges and experiences have been very satisfying” says Ann. “Our customers have come to know us for the expertise and quality products for all lighting applications in their home”.

“The time has now to close out this location forever”, says Ann Marie. We are clearing out everything in the store. Lamps, bath Lights, Outdoor Lighting, Chandeliers, Ceiling Fans, Pendant Lights and everything lighting is on sale.

TRU’s WolfPack chasing birdies at nationals Hans to leave WolfPack hockey post The TRU WolfPack will be represented at the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association Badminton National Championships, which will be held this weekend at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology in Edmonton.

The women’s doubles duo of Anica Arduini and Lacey Banman, both from Kamloops, is part of the Pacific Western Athletic Association wildcard team. They are joined at the CCAA nationals by coach Alex Perkin.

The twosome won a bronze medal at the recent PacWest championships. When Langara College’s doubles team decided not to go nationals, that opened the door for Arduini and Banman.

“It’s something that I have wanted since my first year,” Banman said.

TOURNAMENT CAPITAL SPORTS

“It would be a lot of fun and we’ll learn a lot while we’re there.

That being said, there are definitely some nerves for me.”

Added Arduini: “It’s my first time going to nationals. I am really looking forward to it and it will be a great way to end my badminton career at TRU.” The tournament wraps up on Saturday, March 1.

The TRU WolfPack hockey team’s general manager Chris Hans is stepping down after the 2013-2014 B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League season.

“Without [Hans], Andre Larouche and Mitch Zulinick, there would be no hockey at TRU,” WolfPack head coach Don Schulz said.

“His dedication, commitment and sacrifice, not only of himself but his family, have been paramount in the program’s success and well-being.”

The WolfPack will play their last game of the regular season on Saturday, March 1, facing off against the hometown Victoria Vikes, who are last in the BCIHL. TRU has had an upand-down season, but will look to enter the post-season on a high note, with a victory and a pair of Trinity Western Spartans losses being enough to vault

“The next game is the next step in that process.”

PROVINCIAL NEWS

British man admits at Vancouver immigration hearing he once led Babbar Khalsa VANCOUVER — A British man facing deportation from Canada has admitted at an immigration hearing that he once led the banned Sikh separatist group Babbar Khalsa in England.

But Gurmej Singh Gill testified that his cause was always peaceful and lawful, and the British group was not linked to other Babbar Khalsa groups in various parts of the world.

“I wanted the organization to abide by the British law and do whatever within the law,’’ Gill said at the hearing in Vancouver, through a Punjabi interpreter.

Babbar Khalsa has been linked to the 1985 Air India bombings that killed 331 people on two flights that originated in Vancouver. The group was added to a list of banned terror groups in Canada in 2003.

Canada Border Services Agency wants Gill, once a permanent resident, removed from Canada. The 71-yearold was returning to British Columbia on a family matter when he was stopped by border officials at Vancouver airport last November and ordered to appear before the Immigration and Refugee Board.

Gill said he became a permanent resident of Canada in July 1982, but he lost that status two years later after having stayed out of the country for more than six months.

Gill, who said he travels to Canada occasionally, testified on

Wednesday that he was one of five founding members of Babbar Khalsa in the United

was formed after the Golden Temple in Amritsar, Sikhdom’s holiest shrine, was

attacked in 1984 during a raid by the Indian government to flush out Sikh separatists.

Gill said Babbar Khalsa in the U.K. sought a separate Sikh homeland in India,

called Khalistan.

A decision was reserved.

Alberta short of target in wild-horse cull Mulcair softening

By Bill Graveland CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — Alberta is likely to fall well short of its goal to reduce its wild horse population by almost 200 animals when permits expire tomorrow.

Two licences were issued by the government to capture up to 196 feral horses in the central Alberta area around Sundre.

One of the licence-holders says the actual number will probably be around 20.

The permits are in effect until Saturday, March 1. “The maximum number of feral horses that can be captured is still 196. I’m not aware of an intention to extend the capture season at this point,’’ Carrie Sancartier, a spokeswoman for Alberta Environment, said in an email. “I’ve just caught a few so far,’’ said Bryn Thiessen, 54, who runs Helmer Creek Ranch near Sundre and has one of the licences. “I haven’t had time and I won’t do a poor job for the horses’ sake and everybody else’s. “I can’t foresee reaching the goal given the shortened capture season and the fact that nobody

else has bothered. Other guys who have trapped in the past didn’t bother applying.’’ Thiessen said he’s managed to bring in three horses so far and the other permit-holder, a friend of his, has captured a dozen.

The government says the feral horse population is continuing to balloon and numbers need to be balanced to accommodate the grazing needs of cattle and wildlife.

Alberta Environment says the number of horses in the Sundre area increased to 980 last year from 778 the year before. The department is confident about the count, which is done at the same time every year by helicopter.

The horses are descendants of domestic animals used in logging and mining operations in the early 1900s.

The plan to reduce the population has drawn the ire of animal rights activists who worry that many of the horses are destined for slaughterhouses or will die during the roundup.

Five people involved in an ongoing protest were arrested this week and charged with mischief.

Thiessen has been trying to

catch what he calls “problem animals’’ that hang out around roads. He said a few of the ones he was hoping to catch have been hit by logging and oil trucks.

Of the three he has captured so far, one is a colt and totally adoptable.

The other two, a mare and a stallion, are in rough shape and are being assessed. “Wherever possible we will try and find a safe place for them. But if you send somebody a five-year-old stud or a mare and they’ve got five acres and a five-foot-high fence, some will stay there, some will go through it and some will go over it,’’ he said. “All of a sudden you’ve got this horse running around the community, that you can’t catch, causing problems and ... potentially dangerous.’’ Thiessen said it’s not a money-making proposition since an animal that has to be sent to slaughter is worth less than $200. “I’m for capture not because I think it’s a romantic idea or that I make money, but because it allows the most options for those horses.’’ There have been numerous

Paramount Theatre

6ICTORIA 3TREET s

debates over the years about the best way to deal with feral horses, Thiessen said. Ideas have included mass slaughter or sterilization, but a roundup was considered the best compromise.

Thiessen, who is also a pastor, has taken some heat for his position. “People have a right to an opinion,’’ he said. “But, Facebook is the new stoning. . . . Some of the comments are ludicrous and some are quite scary.’’ Capture of the horses involves a portable metal corral which is set up in a feeding area and baited with hay or salt. The animals trigger a trip wire when they enter and a weighted door closes behind them. They are then loaded onto trailers.

Thiessen said the province requires the corrals be checked every 48 hours, but most ranchers check them every day.

The Alberta government last issued a capture order in 2011 and 216 horses were removed. “It was always a good idea,’’ Thiessen said. “I think it needs to be talked about. I think there needs to be a management plan.’’

YES!

OTTAWA — Tom Mulcair seems suddenly more open to the idea of a coalition government, now that his New Democrats are in third place behind the ascendant Liberals.

TOM Two years ago, MULCAIR when the Liberals were on their apparent death bed, Mulcair categorically ruled out a coalition.

He said then that the 2008 attempt at forming a Liberal-NDP coalition government had proven the Grits couldn’t be trusted.

He described his anti-coalition position as “categorical, absolute, irrefutable and non-negotiable.’’ Now, Mulcair is suggesting he meant only that he wouldn’t agree to run joint candidates during an election.

He says whether a coalition is needed to oust the Conservatives after an election depends on the configuration of the House of Commons after the votes are counted.

And he says New Democrats have always been willing to work with other parties. *OGPSNBUJPO 7BMJE GPS
