‘AN ALL-STAR TOO GOOD TO LOSE’ By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

Lauchlan Fraser is one of those scientists who can take a small patch of land, study it and learn something about climate change. And, if Thompson Rivers University has its way, he’ll be doing it from Kamloops well into the future. Fraser’s work, all designed around creating a healthier environment, is so key to TRU — and, by extension, to local businesses and the region — that creating a school of reclamation science is a priority for the institu-

Tom Dickinson said there’s a plan in place to either start a separate school or centre, or see a Canada Research Council chair position created, much like the one Fraser just completed,

focusing on ecosystems. Dickinson said Fraser “is too good to lose.” The university is working with the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council to create an industrial-research chair for Fraser, seeing such potential that the university could be a world leader in

grassland restoration, according to Seguin. “Lauch Fraser is an all-star researcher for us and the team he has assembled to study reclamation is incredibly impressive,” Seguin said. Dickinson said that process is about a year out, so he, Seguin and other administrators at the university are pulling together industry

partners, including the city, which is one of the major players due to its land-management role. The possibilities Fraser’s work presents to TRU aren’t limited to the region, the province — or even the country. Seguin noted Fraser and his associates are already working on reclamation, in particular at mines, and the relationships they have developed with companies behind the processes that create disturbances to the environment could see the work being done “spread internationally.”

The Ministry of Energy and Mines has released information showing one tailings dam bordering Kamloops and another proposed facility are rated near the top of the scale for consequences to life and property. A permitted tailings storage facility at New Afton mine 10 kilometres west of Kamloops and the proposed tailings impoundment at KGHM’s Ajax mine south of Aberdeen are rated as “very high” on the ministry’s consequence-classification system. The release of information comes in the wake of the tailings-pond breach at Mount Polley mine in the Cariboo, which sent millions of litres of contaminated water cascading into Polley Lake, Hazeltine Creek and Quesnel Lake. B.C.’s chief inspector of mines ordered all permitted metal and coal mines in the province to undergo an immediate dam-safety inspection, to be reviewed by an independent engineering firm. Mines must also complete a new dam-inundation study to detail the impacts of failure. The newest tailings-storage facility is overseen by New Gold at its New Afton underground mine. It is rated near the top of the scale for impact on life and property were it to fail. The corporation has declined to discuss its tailings facility publicly, but will be bound by the order and results made public by the province. KGHM Ajax has responsibility for two tailings facilities — its proposed impoundment at Goose Lake as well as Afton’s historic tailings pond, which is no longer in use. Project manager Warner Uhl confirmed with KTW the corporation’s proposed tailings-storage facility is rated as “very high” for consequences of failure. But, Uhl added, KGHM is hoping to reduce that risk classification. “We’re looking at ways of taking that classification down,” Uhl said. “We’re looking to reduce that classification from high to low.”

STARK REMINDER ON TRANSIT SAFETY DAY A young woman driving a Volkswagen Jetta was taken to Royal Inland Hospital on Wednesday, Aug. 20, with minor injuries after her vehicle collided with a transit bus at the corner of Copperhead and Hugh Allan drives. The crash happened at about 8:10 a.m. on what was Transit Safety Day. Kamloops RCMP investigation of the crash has found the driver of the Jetta failed to yield to the bus as she was making a left turn from Copperhead onto Hugh Allan. Charges are not being contemplated. Dave Eagles photos/KTW

First Mountie at crash scene did not smell booze By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops Mountie who was the first emergency responder to arrive at a 2010 single-vehicle crash on the North Shore that killed two people said she never smelled alcohol on the breath of the alleged driver. RCMP Const. Donna Gillingham took the stand in Wayne Fedan’s trial on two counts each of impaired driving causing death, causing an accident resulting in death and dangerous driving causing death. The 53-year-old was charged after a March 20, 2010, wreck that killed Brittany Plotnikoff, 20, and Kenneth Craigdaillie, 38. The Crown alleges the deceased

were passengers in a pickup truck back from the scene,” she said. “It being driven by Fedan. was pretty graphic.” Gillingham said she arrived at Gillingham said she never the scene, on Mackenzie Avenue smelled alcohol on Fedan’s breath, near the east entrance to McArthur though she spoke to him a number Island on the North Shore, at 1:33 of times at the scene. a.m., ahead of other police officers, “There was a smell of dust in firefighters and paramedics. the air and I can’t say I She said Fedan was lying noticed [alcohol],” she said. on the ground beside the “That wasn’t my intentruck when she arrived. tion at that time.” “He seemed to be alert,” Under cross-examGillingham said. “He was ination from defence asking questions, he was lawyer Anthony Varesi, Brittany Plotnikoff aware.” Gillingham admitted she when she She described seeing was an inexperienced played Plotnikoff’s body outside rookie cop at the time of basketball the front of the vehicle and a at Westsyde the crash, conceding she severely injured Craigdaillie secondary. might not have even noted lying across the two front alcohol if she had smelled seats. it on Fedan’s breath. “I was trying to keep people “I would not necessarily have

made note of that then because I was a new member, a year-and-ahalf, and I didn’t have that experience,” Gillingham said, explaining she would look for signs of alcohol consumption and make note of them if the crash happened today. “At the time, I wouldn’t say I’d make note of it,” she said. “That was my experience as a member.” Court heard Gillingham found an almost-empty 1.75-litre bottle of Crown Royal next to the vehicle. The Crown alleges the bottle was inside the truck prior to the crash. At a voir dire hearing (a trial within a trial to determine the admissibility of evidence) last summer, B.C. Supreme Court

Justice Deborah Kloegman threw out three pieces of Crown evidence — an admission by Fedan that he was driving, an admission he had been drinking and the smell of liquor noted on his breath — in part because of inexperienced officers handling the file and breaching Fedan’s Charter rights. The Crown has said it will not use a blood-alcohol reading taken by police following the crash, but prosecutor Bernie Caffaro told KTW he does intend to enter as evidence a reading taken by staff at Royal Inland Hospital hours later. That reading is expected to be the subject of a Charter application later in the trial. Fedan’s trial is slated to run into the second week of September.

City of Kamloops

Thank You For Your Patience ~ 1st Ave & Victoria Street Construction We know this construction project has caused congestion and delays during the busy summer season. Although we would prefer to do our road work projects during less busy times, they must be completed when weather permits. We appreciate your patience and cooperation. The City has received a number of enquiries about this project. We would like to share some of the most common questions and answers. We welcome any other questions you may have and invite you to call 250-828-3453.

Why was the intersection re-aligned? City Planning championed a better connection between downtown and Lorne Street north of the CP rail line. The intent was to make the area more inclusive of downtown rather than “the other side of the tracks”. The Lorne Street Revilatlization project was developed to accomplish this goal. The first phase of the project was completed last year and has received positive response from businesses and residents north of the rail tracks, as well as park users and the general public. The intersection realignment is the second and final phase of the project. The new intersection configuration connects 1st Avenue and Lorne Street for both northbound and southbound traffic. This will provide a direct `connection between Lorne Street and downtown, as well as improve pedestrian access to and from Riverside Park. The realignment also allows traffic coming from the North Shore to utilize 1st Avenue instead of 2nd or 3rd Avenue to get to Riverside Park or Interior Savings Centre. This reduces congestion at 3rd Avenue and Lansdowne especially during events in the park or at ISC. As part of the re-alignment, more green space was designed around the intersection. The landscape design extends Riverside Park to Victoria Street and the downtown.

How do I access City Hall? City Hall can be accessed by turning left from Lansdowne Street onto 1st Avenue or turning left from Seymour Street onto 1st Avenue.

Why can’t I turn left off of Victoria Street? Traffic studies showed that vehicles on 1st Avenue may get backed up as drivers wait for the green light to cross or turn left onto Lansdowne Street. This back up would make it difficult for vehicles to turn left from Victoria Street onto 1st Avenue, causing additional congestion and delays. In addition, the potential back up on 1st Avenue could create safety issues as it may obstruct views of vehicles and pedestrians crossing in the area. The City held a public open house and met with the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Area prior to final design and construction. During these meetings, the removal of the left turn movement from Victoria Street was discussed. The input received concluded that the added benefits and improvement to the area outweighed the loss of the left turn from Victoria Street.

How do I access 1st Avenue southbound from downtown? Motorists may access 1st Avenue from downtown via Lansdowne, Lorne or St. Paul Streets. Those traveling westbound on Victoria Street can access Lansdowne or St. Paul Streets by making the appropriate turns at 2nd Avenue.

TRU professor delves deep into the environment By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

HERE CAME A TIME in Lauchlan Fraser’s educational career when he wanted to make a

change. He was looking for a new place to further his studies on plants, wetlands and grasslands. “I was thinking of the Prairies,” the Thompson Rivers University professor and researcher said. “All that land. It was natural I would want to work there but, when I looked at it, you could find yourself driving for miles and miles. “In B.C., you can find a small area that is still very natural.” Fraser has spent thousands of hours in the past decade studying those tiny plots of grasslands where their composition, the tiny creatures who live there and the plants that grow and die can change dramatically in a short distance. “I would have to go 300 miles in the Prairies to find the same things,” he said. Boiled down to its essence, Fraser’s research is all about determining the productivity of the environment. His focus on grasslands sees him studying how much biomass — all biological material — is produced under differing conditions. “From this, you can ask questions about climate change,” Fraser said. He doesn’t rely on the land as it is. Fraser said he and his team “manipulate them, change them, build rain shelters and drought

shelters” to see the effects that follow. “We can change how much and when water is added,” he said. “We know things will change and get warmer. We’re already seeing drier summers and wetter winters.” Fraser said they are not, however, so confident about precipitation in the future. Fraser, his research team and his students study plant and animal communities in grasslands under the varying conditions to determine their relationship to their habitats. They have learned, for example, the more diverse an ecosystem, the more sustainable it is and the better it can withstand natural events like a drought. Fraser’s interest in ecosystems has almost always been present, but was piqued while he was working on his bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Studying trees planted in the northern area of Vancouver Island, he noticed trees that were planted were dying. Fraser decided to find out if the evergreen shrub salal, which grows in abundance on shorelines, was playing a role, determining it was a major competitor with trees for the nurturing of the land. It was while studying for his PhD in England that he cemented his understanding of ecology, working on energy flows in ecosystems, figuring out “who eats who in different systems.” Fraser began to focus on wetlands while doing post-doctorate work in Ottawa, fundamentally studying what order plants arrive in a wetland and whether that matters.

From there, he looked at the practical questions, in particular: Could wetlands be used for treatment of waste water, in essence becoming the kidneys of the environment? Eventually, his research brought him to TRU and the 10-year research chair he held that allowed him to delve even deeper into the environment, how it works, why it works and how it can be reclaimed after disturbances that can range from the natural (like a drought) to the imposed (like a mine). It isn’t exactly the career he originally planned. “I wanted to be a rancher as a boy,” Fraser said, recalling spending his summers in Lac la Hache. “I helped with the haying, working with old guys who were real characters and I thought that was great,” he said. “And there is a ranching angle that is pretty big in my research, looking at rangemanagement methods. “There’s a strong connection between grazing and the ability to store carbon in grassland soils,” he said, with grasslands responding — growing faster — after grazing. One of the many areas in which Fraser is involved focuses on restoration of mines, looking at what species should be used to bring the land back after a mine closes. It’s an area in which he sees massive potential because it involves everything that creates an ecosystem — and it’s why he’s pushing his employer to step up. “This needs funding. It needs program development,” he said. “It is a big thing and we need to do it. The question is: How quickly can it be developed?”

City council approves relocation of casino By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops city council has approved the relocation of Lake City Casino from the downtown core to the former Rona property on Versatile Drive, between Aberdeen and Pineview Valley. The decision at a public hearing on Tuesday, Aug. 19, means that, by the fall of 2015, the former Rona property will be open having undergone a $35-million renovation to house Gateway Casino and Entertainment’s muchlarger gambling and entertainment centre, which will be known as Cascades Casino. City council members approved the move to 155 Versatile Dr. from the casino’s current home in Hotel 540 on Victoria Street by a 7-1 vote. Donovan Cavers was the lone holdout on council, calling the move from downtown a “Walmartstyle” development, the social and environmental implications of which had not been considered. “I said when I ran for council in 2011 one of

the priorities for me was going to be supporting small business,” Cavers said. “I don’t see this as supporting small business in our community. I don’t think making things bigger is always going to make them better.” Others on council — and the majority of those who spoke during the public hearing, many of them employees at Lake City or the B.C. Lottery Corporation — disagreed, arguing anything would be better than Gateway’s current casino. “The current Kamloops casino, for lack of a better word, is a dive compared to all other casinos in B.C.” said resident Dana O’Hearn, who added she was too embarrassed by the casino on her visit to stay for a planned lunch. “It needs to move.” Gateway casino CEO Tony Santo said the company hopes to begin construction in October, and will spend about 12 months on the project. Santo told council the new casino would be an entertainment facility, rather than strictly a gambling destination.

“Our customers want a lot more than to flip some cards on a table,” he said. The casino will contain about 600 slot machines, 20 gaming tables, a poker room and several restaurants. At more than 50,000 square feet, Cascades will be more than three times the size of the 14,000 square-foot Lake City Casino. Santo said the casino is planning for both casual dining and a more high-end experience still under development. Also on the plans is a 500-seat amphitheatre. The new casino will cost about $34 million to build and require a staff of about 115 more employees than Lake City, bringing the number of employees to about 225. Steve Earl, general manager of the Holiday In Express across the road from the Rona site, said the casino is good news for businesses in the area and for the tourism industry. “This is the type of opportunity that Kamloops has been waiting for,” he said.

“It will help encourage people to stay longer. They’ll bring their spouses.” However, downtown resident Cheryl Kabloona worried about the impact the casino’s move would have on the downtown. City staff had recommended against allowing Gateway’s move because the downtown is considered the best spot for entertainment venues in Kamloops’ official community plan. “I feel that there will be a serious gap downtown if the casino moves to Aberdeen,” Kabloona said. “I hear repeatedly about the high vacancy rate downtown.” It’s a concern Coun. Tina Lange shares, but she said it’s difficult to think of a place Cascades could be built downtown. “I do believe taking the casino from downtown will negatively affect business,” she said. “However, tonight business didn’t show up. We didn’t hear from downtown businesspeople.” Mayor Peter Milobar said he was also concerned about taking Lake City off Victoria

Street, but said he’s come around on the issue, in part because Hotel 540 has pledged to find a use for the site. The hotel’s owners have offered the site to the city for a performingarts centre, but general manager Brian Pilbeam said there are back-up plans for the space if the city rejects the offer. “We’re not talking about a space that, if it’s vacated would sit empty,” Milobar said. “This is not the case of the Odeon Theatre.” Planned road improvements in the area to offset the impact of casino traffic also got praise from councillors and the public. These include a two-lane roundabout at Hugh Allan and Versatile drives, a two-lane left-

turn lane from Hugh Allan on to Pacific Way, a double-capacity offramp from the TransCanada Highway to Pacific Way and traffic lights at the highway off-ramp at Copperhead Drive and at the Copperhead and Versatile intersection. The city is still negotiating with Gateway about payment for the project, which the city had originally planned to do some time in the next 10 years. .

Millions of dollars

How much money is at stake in Gateway Casino’s planned expansion? For the City of Kamloops, it will likely be more than $1 million a year. The casino is required

to pay 10 per cent of its net gaming revenue to the city each year, which amounted to about $1.8 million in the 2012-2013 fiscal year. Some city staff have speculated that could mean another $1.6 million for the city annually — and Gateway CEO Santo told KTW that’s a possibility once the casino has been open a few years. “It’d be premature of me to comment on how much it’s going to be for the city, but I’d say it’s significant. “It would be at least half that, if not close to that once we get up and running,” he said. “Not necessarily the first year because it will take time to get to that level, but, over time, it could go up to there.”

More than fine in pet bylaw? By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A fine won’t be the only penalty awaiting dog owners who leave their pets in hot cars if the City of Kamloops has its way. Mayor Peter Milobar has written to the province, asking that the Insurance Corporation of B.C. (ICBC) not cover a portion of the window-replacement costs in cases where RCMP or SPCA officers have broken into a vehicle to rescue an animal in distress. “They’d be paying the full shot of a side window and those are not cheap,” Milobar told council at its Tuesday, Aug. 19, meeting. The city is also asking the government to amend the community charter to give bylaw

enforcement officers the power to break into vehicles to rescue animals in distress — an authority now granted only to RCMP and SPCA animal-cruelty officers. Community-safety manager Jon Wilson said the power would make it easier for bylaw officers to ensure animals aren’t harmed — and it would penalize pet owners. The city is planning to bring in a bylaw next year that would make leaving pets in hot cars a fineable offence, but Wilson said it’s awkward if bylaw officers can’t also help the animals in need. “When you have an officer show up for a dog that is in a vehicle and in distress and there’s no one else available that can deal with it, that’s going to

create a lot of issues,” he said. RCMP or SPCA staff will need to assume control of the file to rescue the dog, before handing the issue back to city staff. “We basically issue a fine on the witness testimony of another agency, which muddies the waters,” Wilson said. The provincial government is receptive to the idea, Milobar said, and council will also ask the Union of B.C. Municipalities to lend its support to the cause at its convention in September. At its July 29 meeting, city council chose not to move faster on a bylaw, Milobar said, because it wouldn’t be possible to change the rules this summer. Wilson said staff will use the time to fine-tune the bylaw and train staff how to identify a distressed animal.

Here is what we know about the Mount Polley mine breach

ODAY, I’LL ATTEMPT TO cut through the speculation and fear-mongering that have swirled around the Mount Polley mine dam breach and tell you what’s really known. As Black Press and our local publication, the Williams Lake Tribune, reported before and after the incident, the mine reopened in 2005 after a four-year shutdown and was expanding its operation, including the tailings pond. Rising metal prices helped put 380 unionized employees, plus management, back to work. Most are now working on rebuilding the tailings dam and cleaning up the spill site. Imperial Metals applied earlier this summer for an increase in water discharge and was awaiting B.C. government approval at the time of the Aug. 4 dam breach. This was to be the second amendment to a water-release permit issued when the mine started up in 1997. It has had a surplus of water due to rain and snow accumulation since it opened (under an NDP government, for those who want to turn everything into a political corruption story). The reason water release has been allowed is that, in the absence of acid-producing rock, metal contamination of water is minimized. Imperial Metals’ routine tests with rainbow trout in undiluted tailingspond water have now been confirmed by environment ministry results and water and fish from all but the immediate spill area have been cleared for human consumption.

TOM FLETCHER Our Man In VICTORIA For an example of acid-mine drainage, look up the Britannia Mine Museum, now a reclaimed national historic site with a water-treatment plant built to function for hundreds of years. Before that, acid-produced toxic metal pollution drained from the abandoned mine into Howe Sound for decades. Early tests at Mount Polley indicate this sort of long-term water remediation may not be required. The initial pulse of suspended sediment didn’t last long enough to affect fish in most of Quesnel Lake, much less the Fraser River system. Sediment tests show elevated iron and copper, with leachability results to come. Containment and removal will have to be undertaken. On May 24 of this year, Mount Polley received the first high-water warning in its history. This was not a breach, contrary to some reports. The latest water-permit application and work to raise the dam took place after that. It’s not difficult to deduce from aerial photos what was happening

as mine management found ways to extend the operation, including an underground phase. The pond was filling up with pulverized rock, reducing its capacity to hold water. Most of the accumulation is still there for all to see, as is the cross-section of the dam so abruptly exposed in the wee hours of Aug. 4. It may be months before inspectors and geotechnical engineers can determine the cause of the breach, which occurred with the water level 2.5 metres below the top of the dam, well within permit specifications. Either the design of the earthworks was not adequate or it was not adequately followed. TV crews have packed up and left after sucking out the initial drama and re-telling every sensational claim they could find. Tourism operators are pleading with people not to turn their backs on the region after that influx of visitors. Professional environmentalists are now exploiting Mount Polley as part of their campaign to de-industrialize B.C. A key propaganda tool is a single picture of a salmon with skin removed from part of its dorsal region. No such fish has been produced and a single rainbow trout collected the day of the spill is the only confirmed aquatic casualty.

TSB report shows need for change The final report of the Transportation Safety Board (TSB) into the Lac-Megantic rail tragedy, which killed 47 residents of the quiet Quebec town last July, is a damning indictment of both Transport Canada and the poorly run Montreal, Maine and Atlantic (MMA) Railway. Together, their indifferent attitude towards safety led to what the TSB report describes as 18 “factors” that came together to create the horrific tragedy. While the most egregious inattention to safety rules and practices was on the part of the company, which seemed interested only in profits and had little commitment to the communities which its rail line traversed, the federal agency was deficient in a number of key areas. One is that it did not follow through on many occasions, after inspectors had cited MMA for various safety issues. Another is that it did far too much checking for compliance” verbally, instead of in person. A third is that the government department has left far too much of the responsibility for compliance with safety rules solely up to the railways. Thus, how they are managed is a key factor in how safe they are. Transport Canada is a mere onlooker. Transport Canada was cited by the Auditor General in November 2013 (after the tragedy) for not having a proper audit approach to ensure that railways were managing safety risks and complying with safety requirements. If railways were operating in a vacuum and not interacting with citizens, municipalities and vehicles every minute of every day across Canada, leaving all responsibility for safety up to the railways might be justified. Here in Kamloops, it is easy to see how much of an impact railways have on everyday life. Transport Canada has brought in numerous regulatory changes since the crash. One of the most important is a phase-out of the DOT 111-type tank cars that split open and spilled their contents in Lac-Megantic, creating the fireball that killed so many. However, it needs to change its culture and become much more hands-on in regulating railways. It’s a similar theme to what is being said about the Mount Polley tailings pond spill — where are the inspectors, and how often is there actual enforcement of safety regulations on-site?

Israel ‘facts’ are fiction Editor: Re.: Bill Ligertwood’s Rational Thoughts column of Aug. 19 (‘Conservatives preparing for Armageddon, Rapture’): I commend Ligertwood for writing a bold and provocative opinion about the Conservative government’s motivations. However, I must object to his exaggeration, hyperbole and rhetoric regarding Israel and Judaism. I will focus on two of his falsehoods. Ligertwood implies that Judaism is “one of the three major religions in the world today.” It is not nearly so. He says Israel has “one of the largest military machines in the world.” It is stronger than its size would dictate, but seeing as Israel ranks 153 out of 249 countries by size, and 96 out of 242 by population, I doubt it has one of the largest militaries in the world.

A TICKET TO CREATING CONFUSION

Editor: My daughter went downtown with friends to look for grad dresses. They parked and put $3.50 in the meter. On the parking slip, it said “No need to display on vehicle/dash.” When my daughter returned to our vehicle, there was a notice from operator #20, who gave my daughter a $62 ticket for not displaying the parking receipt on her dash. When she got home, I was quite annoyed. Here are new drivers following the instructions, only to get mixed messages.

I called the 1-800 number and explained that they should perhaps have the same message everywhere we park. So, does the receipt go on the dash or not? The wooden sign above the meter tells drivers to display the receipt on the vehicle’s dash, but the receipt itself says there is no need to do so. The ticket was eventually voided in our case, but how many other people just pay it without even looking? Darlene Low Kamloops

Thanks, mom, for choosing life Editor: The “One Life Can Make a Difference” banner currently being displayed in Kamloops has inspired me to write the following letter. Almost 60 years ago, in a small city in Ontario, a young single woman discovered she was pregnant. She was devastated. To be pregnant and single in those days meant shame and ridicule. This young woman could not bear the thought of embarrassing her family, so she made the life-changing decision to move across the country to British Columbia before she was “found out.” She only told her

closest friends why she was moving. To her family and most of her friends, she was moving strictly to embark on a happy-golucky adventure. Little did they know she had made one of the most heart-wrenching decisions she would ever make. As one can imagine, things did not get any easier once she arrived in British Columbia. She didn’t know anyone and had to work long hours to support herself. There were many dark and lonely moments as she pondered what the future would bring, especially knowing there were limited positive

Editor: Not much has been written in the news about an court case beginning on Sept. 8 in B.C. Supreme Court, but the outcome could profoundly change all of our lives. Canada’s needsbased medical system is being challenged by Dr. Brian Day of the Cambie Surgery Centre, who is looking to replace it with a U.S.style two-tier system, in which service is based on ability to pay. Although some people may say it’s high time something was done about the wait times in this country, going to a two-tier system will do nothing to alleviate that problem —quite the opposite. By changing doctors’ focus to profit, the wait times will certainly increase for those who can’t afford to pay. It has been so everywhere it has been tried. Furthermore, three out of five bankruptcies in the U.S. are directly related to medical issues and, of those, 69 per cent were insured. I hope more people will inform themselves of this impending disaster and let all levels of government know what they think of it. The Council of Canadians’ monthly Philosophers’ Cafe will be addressing the topic of health-care delivery at its Sept. 16 meeting. All are welcome to come and weigh in with their ideas.

From one rescue operation to another Specialized crews with Kamloops Search & Rescue were taken directly by helicopter from a fatal single-vehicle crash on Adams Lake Forest Service Road in order to rescue three hikers perched above Kamloops Lake. Alan Hobler, a search-and-rescue manager, said members from Barriere and the Shuswap were also utilized in the rescue on cliffs just west of Tranquille. The call for rescue came at about 7:30 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 18. Five people were hiking and scrambling on the rugged area and three of them became stranded on a loop trail. Hobler said the five people on the hike were in their late teens and early 20s. Search-and-rescue members rappelled down from above, moving the stranded hikers further down to safety via rope. Crews and hikers were out before 11 p.m. Hobler said a specialized CN car was used to transport everyone from the base of the cliff area. The search team had been near Adams Lake looking for a 68-year-old man and his Ford Explorer. The man had been driving to Barriere on Saturday, Aug. 16, when he disappeared. The vehicle wreckage was eventually found and the man died at the scene.

Farmers’ Market gets nod to sell alcohol By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Vendors at the Kamloops Regional Farmers’ Market can offer Chardonnay alongside the chard after city council agreed to relax its stance on liquor sales at the twice-weekly market for the remainder of the year. In a unanimous

vote on Tuesday, Aug. 19, council agreed to amend the market’s agreement with the city for 2014 to permit local brewers and winemakers to sell their wares. Mayor Peter Milobar, who owns a liquor store, and Coun. Donovan Cavers, whose sister manages the farmers’ market, sat out the debate and did not vote.

City staff had initially proposed a sixto eight-week review of the liquor-sales plan, with consultation with the RCMP, public and other groups — and a potential application fee of $500. However, Coun. Tina Lange urged council to speed up the process. “As far as going out to the public, the provincial government

did that and what they heard overwhelmingly is this is something that people want,” she said. The province decided to allow farmers’ market liquor sales earlier this year as part of a broader review of liquor laws in B.C. Coun. Nelly Dever said wine and cider sales are a major draw at Penticton’s market. “The numbers were

really, really high,” she said. “And I thought, what if we could bring that to Kamloops or allow our farmers’ market the opportunity?” Originally, Lange had proposed to allow liquor sales at the 2015 market as well, which the city’s agreement with the farmers’ market also covers, but Coun. Pat Wallace said she’d rather see the

a booth set up at the market right away. “People can get their fruits and vegetables and pick up some wind to go with dinner,” Roche said. The farmers’ market takes place Wednesdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the 400-block of Victoria Street and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the 200-block of St. Paul Street.

TCC leak to be plugged A fix is on the way for the Tournament Capital Centre’s leak problem. Kamloops city council has awarded Western Roofing Ltd. an $813,015 contract to fix the TCC’s building envelope. Due to errors when it was built, the TCC is missing some of the vapour barriers that prevent condensation from forming between walls when the temperature changes. The building has leaked since it first opened in 2007. City facilities manager Jeff Putnam said repairs should be complete by mid-November and won’t disrupt daily operations at the fitness facility. “The majority of the work is going to be done to the exterior of the building and any interior work would be done in off-peak hours and graveyard,” Putnam said. Though the city is awarding the tender for the work, it’s hoping to avoid paying the cost of the repairs. Once work is complete, it plans to forward the bill to the TCC’s architect and contractor, Stantec Architecture and D&T Developments. Both companies have in the past expressed willingness to contribute to the cost. Mayor Peter Milobar said Kamloops picking up the tab would be the “worst-case scenario.”

— which designed Mount Polley’s dam, but was no longer associated with the mine when it breached — is designing the new Ajax storage facility, as well as conducting the inspection study to comply with the ministry order that captures the historic facility.

If granted approval by the federal and provincial governments and put into operation, Uhl said for at least the first five years, Ajax’s tailings storage would be rated as low risk due to its size. Risk increases as it grows larger toward the end of the 20-plus-year

mine life. Uhl said engineers are looking at a method to control a breach if a catastrophe should occur through a secondary holding area so that water and tailings would not cascade into Peterson Creek and into the city. “If there were a breach, it would be

controlled and we could put water and tailings in an area where we want to put it,” he said. Ajax spent upwards of $1 million following a tailings-inspection report last year, Uhl said. It was required to reinforce and strengthen banks of

neighbouring Alkali Creek so that it does not overflow into the tailings pond. Eventually, the former Afton tailings facility will dry out. Uhl said it will be reclaimed

through planting material. Thompson Rivers University and the Secwepemc Cultural Education Society are assisting with research in the longterm project.

10-day blast from the past begins today in Heffley Creek

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

AMLOOPS will get a blast from the past this weekend as B.C. Rendezvous makes its annual visit to the Heffley Creek Gun Range. With leather dresses and pants, teepees and Jesuit priests, black-powder rifles and trap lines, B.C. Rendezvous gives its members a chance to relive the days of the fur trade — between the 1700s and early 1800s — an iconic time in Canada’s heritage. “It’s not a re-enactment . . . we live the life of that time frame,” said Jennifer Wright, the booshway of B.C. Rendezvous. Booshway is a French term for leader, used in the era to describe those heading trade companies like the Hudson’s Bay Company and North West Company. Rendezvous involves wearing time-accurate clothing, using era weapons and generally living the life of some of

Canada’s first peoples. The 2014 rendition of Rendezvous — which gets underway today (Thursday, Aug. 21) — celebrates the event’s 25th year, dating back to the first Rendezvous in 1985. It will wrap up on Monday, Sept. 1. Originally, members

is hoping to surpass this weekend, is 151 camps — about 315 people. Wright, like many other regulars, was born into Rendezvous. Her father was one of the first booshways and, as a child, she vowed to one day take over the event. Now in her second

CURIOUS? CHECK IT OUT The public is invited to get a taste of history by visiting B.C. Rendezvous.

For more information on the schedule of events, go online to bcrendezvous.com. visited the era of the fur trade for just a weekend. But, in 1989, the event was expanded, bringing together a number of groups. It now spans a 10-day period and is the largest Rendezvous in Western Canada. Last year, 301 people attended. The record attendance, which Wright

year of organizing, it’s a dream that has come to fruition. “It’s a great group of people,” she said. “We consider ourselves all family.” “You don’t care what someone is outside of this. It’s just a common interest and everybody gets along with everybody.”

The next 10 days are packed with events. Taking place along with a number of shooting events are archery competitions, knife throwing, swap meets, seminars, dances and trapping events. Normally, groups conclude each evening around their campfires, catching up and discussing the day’s events. That part of Rendezvous appears to be in jeopardy this year, however, with the Kamloops area still under a government-ordered fire ban. Wright said the group has applied for an exemption to the ban, citing the fires are being used as cook fires, but said the group will make the best of whatever is decided. After all, campfires are only part of the Rendezvous experience and Wright and her cohorts are anxious to get the rest of the event underway. “We all watch out for each other,” she said. “It’s also a lot of fun to dress up and live in a different era.”

Cruise on down to A&W today for good cause Today (Aug. 21) is the sixth annual Cruisin’ to End MS Day, with more than 800 Canadian A&W restaurants, including those in Kamloops, raising money for the MS Society of Canada. Multiple Sclerosis is the most common neurological disease in Canada, affecting 100,000 people, with three people diagnosed every day. As part of A&W’s Cruisin’ to End MS campaign, for every Teen Burger sold today, the restaurant chain will donate $1 to the MS Society of Canada. People can also donate by purchasing $1, $2 and $5 paper cutouts online at cruisintoendms.ca and through other fundraising activities being held at each location. There are several special events taking place in Kamloops:

• At the North Shore A&W on Fortune Drive, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., there will be a classic car show and shine, games for kids, quizzes and prizes throughout the afternoon and evening. A tent in the parking lot will be set up to sell root-beer floats, with all funds going to the MS Society. • At the Columbia Street A&W in Sahali, at 4 p.m., there will be an invitational classic car show and shine and a raffle to win an A&W peddle car, with all proceeds going to the MS Society. In 2013, Kamloops A&W locations raised $16,000 for the cause — with $11,000 being collected at the Columbia Street location (the ninthhighest total in Canada) and $5,000 being donated at the Fortune Drive restaurant (the 30th-highest total in Canada).

Andy is having a cigarette. They say the trip is a â€œ10-to-12 hour drive this way.â€? â€œWeâ€™re going to go up through Jasper,â€? Andy says. They met in The Little Apple in 2010 at Freedomâ€™s Door, an addictions recovery centre. Brad had been there for 15 months. He was attending Narcotics Anonymous and had cleaned up, about to leave, when he was offered a supervisory job at the centre. Thatâ€™s when

Andy arrived. â€œHe was an employee and I was a guest,â€? Andy says. â€œThen, to be honest, I was a guest again,â€? Brad adds. They became close friends when Andy began volunteering in the kitchen. Brad came around for the food and the visits. While they each have their own histories and battles, they share is success. Brad has been sober

for six months. And Andy? â€œFor two!â€? he says. They are each still at the centre, but theyâ€™re in the final stage of treatment â€” a transitioning phase â€” able to come and go as they please. Brad and Andy will together be back at Freedomâ€™s Door next week. For now, though, theyâ€™re on the road together, to Edmonton and â€” hopefully â€” to full recovery.

Get out and explore Cinammon Ridge Teresa the Traveler hits some of the trails west of Tranquille — and explains why you should, too By Teresa the Traveler SPECIAL TO KTW

teresathetraveler.com

F HOODOOS MAKE you happy, then a hike through Cinnamon Ridge is just what the doctor ordered. Kamloops is ancient volcano country and Cinnamon Ridge, part of the Lac du Bois Grasslands Protected Area, is made up of volcanic rocks that erupted about 50 million years ago. Not only will hikers encounter some amazing hoodoos and a fantastic view, they can expect to see an assortment of plants including cactus, sagebrush, pine trees and assorted grasses, as well as a variety of birds, California Bighorn Sheep and maybe even a mountain lion. There are three trails located past Tranquille road as you head out to Kamloops Lake they include: Mara Trail, Dewdrop Trail and Cinnamon Ridge Trail.

Mara Trail

3.5 km loop trail • Overlooks Kamloops Lake and Thompson River. • Directions: Approximately 15 minutes from downtown Kamloops: Follow Tranquille Road to the west, turn right onto Red

Lake Road, cross the train tracks and parking is on the right hand side of the road.

Dewdrop Trail

5.7 km linear trail • Spectacular views overlooking Kamloops Lake and the underlying valley. • Directions: Approximately 25 minutes from downtown Kamloops: Take Tranquille Road west, turn left onto Red Lake Road. At about the four-km mark (at the switchback) on Red Lake Road, turn left onto Frederick Road. The parking area is 700 meters down the road (second pullout to the right). Look for signs at the parking area.

Cinnamon Ridge is home to plenty of hoodoos (above), rock formations (left) and — believe it or not — a ridge that almost looks like someone covered it in cinammon (below).

Cinnamon Ridge Trail

4.25 km trail • Features hoodoos. • Ascends up a ridge and part way up Mara hill. • Directions: Approximately 15 minutes from downtown Kamloops: Follow Tranquille Road to the west, turn right on Ord Road, cross over the train tracks, parking at the end of Ord Rd.

Dylan Armstrong will receive a bronze medal from the 2008 Olympics By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

T LONG LAST, Dylan Armstrong will wear an Olympic medal. “I think there will definitely be a party,” said Armstrong, who will be awarded retroactively a bronze medal from the 2008 Olympic Summer Games in Beijing. “The IOC [International Olympic Committee] has made the right decision and now we’ll move forward. “I’m extremely excited and it’s nice to finally have it resolved.” The Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) confirmed this week the IOC’s decision to strip Belarusian shot putter Andrei Mikhnevich of the bronze medal and give it to Armstrong, who finished fourth at the Games with a throw of 21.04 metres, one centimetre less than the cheater who placed third. In June of 2013, the Belarus Athletics Federation imposed a lifetime ban on Mikhnevich after he tested positive in re-tests of his doping sample from the 2005 World Championships in

Helsinki. It was his second positive test, the first coming in 2001. The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) followed oweed suit in August of 2013, annulnnuull-ling Mikhnevich’s resultss dating back to August of 2005 05 and banning him for life. Mikhnevich finished ahead h d of Armstrong at the 2010 World Indoor Championships, an IAAF competition. He was stripped of the silver medal he won at that event and Armstrong, who finished fourth, moved into third place. The ball since then has been in the IOC’s court — take the 2008 Olympic hardware from Mikhnevich and hand it over to Armstrong. One year later, the wait is over. “A lot of people have been anxious to find out and, obviously, myself, to get it, but the wait hasn’t been that bad,” Armstrong said. “I’m patient. It’s one of those things that takes a long time and you’ve got to jump through all the hoops.” The hulking shot putter, a Westsyde secondary graduate, hopes to have the medal around his neck

Kamloops shot putter Dylan Armstrong, shown here competing at the 2008 Olympic Summer Games in Beijing, will finally receive a bronze medal. He finished fourth in Beijing, but has since been bumped up onto the podium after it was revealed the Belarusian who originally placed third had been doping. Armstrong said he’s “extremely excited” to receive the hardware, even if it is six years late. KTW file photo

within two months. The IOC has not yet told Armstrong when it will arrive. He will be the third Kamloopsian to wear on Olympic medal. Bob Wilson was the first, claiming silver in rowing at the 1956 Olympic Summer Games in Melbourne, Australia. Jessica Hewitt won silver in speed skating at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. Armstrong, 33, might be

able to recoup a portion of the thousands of sponsorship dollars he lost out on in Beijing, but Mikhnevich robbed him of some things that are irreplaceable. “The moments that he lost, right?” Judy Armstrong, Dylan’s mother, told KTW last summer. “He knows that those are gone and I think that’s what he feels bad about, as do we.” Nobody will steal his spotlight in Kamloops when the time comes to celebrate. “I haven’t really thought

”

about it too much, what I’m going to do for the celebration, but it’s definitely going to be something open to the community and the general public because they’re the people that really supported me when I needed it.” Armstrong declined to comment on Mikhnevich, instead thanking the IOC, COC and the World AntiDoping Agency for the work they’ve done. “It’s amazing to add this medal to my resume and it’s definitely a big ticket for

me,” he said. “Everybody wants an Olympic medal. It’s a big prize for every athlete at that level. “I can use this as a starting point and a foundation in my community and across the country. Hopefully, it influences a lot of young kids.” Armstrong, who finished out of the medals at the 2012 Olympic Summer Games in London, is still gunning for a podium finish at the 2016 Games in Rio, although he is now recovering from injury. “I’m finally satisfied,” Armstrong said. “Thanks to the community of Kamloops for the support over the years.

Gardner returns to WolfPack in coaching role By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Just when he thought he was out, the WolfPack pulled Sebastian Gardner back in. Gardner had nearly said goodbye to his time on the pitch with Thompson Rivers University. The 26-year-old played out the last of his five years of eligibility with the 2013 WolfPack, capping off his collegiate career with a silver medal at the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association national championship. But an offer from head coach John Antulov has Gardner lacing up his cleats again this season. This time, though, he will be confined to the practice field and the bench — the newest assistant coach to roam the sidelines for the Pack. “Guys like Seb and [fellow assistant coach] Adam Dodgson, over the years of working with them as players, they were always natural leaders. They always saw and understood the game really well and had common sense,” Antulov said. “It makes sense for guys like that, who were excellent players, great players, understand and see the game really well, to transition into being a coach.” Gardner is happy to be on board. “Both John and Sean

SEB GARDNER

[Wallace, former co-head coach] have done a lot for me coaching-wise, dealt with me a lot in football terms,” he said. “To be asked to be a part of his [Antulov’s] coaching staff was a huge honour for me and something I am very proud of.” The transition is one Gardner never saw himself making. As a player, the 5-foot-10 midfielder didn’t have much interest in being at the helm of a team. But, since receiving Antulov’s offer, Gardner finds himself enjoying the opportunity. He’s now reading coaching books and thinking about how he can motivate and support the team. He’s not yet certain what sort of coach he wants to be, but said he’ll work to find his niche with the club in the coming weeks. He wants to learn from Antulov and his fellow coaches and develop relationships with the players. When it comes to the

Blazers’ camp opens Friday The Kamloops Blazers will open their 20142015 training camp at Interior Savings Centre with on-ice sessions at 8:30 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 22. Ice sessions run from 8:30 a.m. to 9:15 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, with main-camp practices in the morning and rookie-camp scrimmages in the afternoon and evening. Rookie camp will conclude on Saturday evening. Main-camp practices will continue on Sunday and Monday mornings, followed by main-camp scrimmages in the evenings. Training camp ends on Tuesday, Aug. 26, with the annual Blue versus White intra-squad game, which gets underway at 7 p.m. Tickets to the intrasquad game are $5. The WHL preseason starts for the Blazers on home ice on Friday, Aug. 29, when the Vancouver Giants are in town. Tickets to pre-season home games are $10 for adults, $8 for seniors and $5 for youth and children.

team’s flock of returners, Antulov said Gardner should have that part under control already. “The guys love him,” Antulov said. “He has always been one of those guys that got along with everybody on the team. “It’s one thing to know soccer, but then you have to be able work and develop players, not just as players but as human beings as well.” Gardner has a lot he

can offer the WolfPack away from the field. He can give guidance as a former student-athlete — he is two courses away from completing his Bachelor of Social Work degree — and is a mature and grounded individual. He has also dealt with significant health issues, including Hodgkin lymphoma, which has given him perspective. He was a co-winner

of the Tyler Lowey Award in 2013, which goes to an athlete who has come back from a serious injury or ailment. For his new boss, it’s fantastic to see how much Gardner has grown in his tenure at TRU. “I think it’s fantastic and I think it’s great for him personally, to kind of take his mind off his battles and be around the guys still and be on the pitch, because he

loves soccer and he loves being around it,” Antulov said. Gardner said he felt good as the WolfPack took the field for training camp and quickly turned the focus to the team. He may be new to working with many of the recruits, but he knows what he can expect from the team’s leaders. “They’re hungry guys. They’re hungry to

win,” he said. “From the sessions that I’ve been a part of so far, everyone’s bringing 100 per cent and that’s all you can ever ask for, I think, as a player, as a captain and as a coach. “I think the biggest goal for us right now is to be able to give everyone a good, hard-fought battle of a game and find our feet in the CIS as we move forward.”

Canucks say MooreBertuzzi suit is settled CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO â€” The Vancouver Canucks are confirming that a â€œmutually agreeableâ€™â€™ settlement has been reached in Steve Mooreâ€™s lawsuit against NHL forward Todd Bertuzzi over an infamous on-ice attack that ended Mooreâ€™s career 10 years ago. Mooreâ€™s multimillion-dollar suit against Bertuzzi and the Canucks had been set to go to trial Sept. 8. Geoff Adair, a lawyer for Bertuzzi, said on Tuesday, Aug. 19, the case had been â€œsettled in its totality,â€™â€™ but the terms were confidential. Media reports raised doubts about the finality of the settlement, and TSN reported on Wednesday, Aug. 20, that Mooreâ€™s brother, Mark, said there was no deal yet. Adair has not responded to numerous follow-up requests for comment and Mooreâ€™s lawyer, Tim Danson, has not publicly confirmed a settlement. The Canucks released a statement Wednesday afternoon saying a settlement was reached. â€œCanucks Sports & Entertainment confirms that a mutually agreeable and confidential settlement of the action commenced by Steve Moore against Todd Bertuzzi and the

Todd Bertuzzi Vancouver Canucks has been reached,â€™â€™ the hockey club said in its statement. â€œThe settlement is a result of mediation sessions with former Ontario Chief Justice Warren Winkler. No further details will be disclosed and the Canucks respectfully decline requests for comment.â€™â€™ The notorious hit happened on March 8, 2004. Bertuzzi, then playing for the Vancouver Canucks, hit Moore from behind, sending the hapless Colorado Avalanche rookie crashing facefirst to the ice and leaving him with a concussion and fractured vertebrae. Moore alleges the Canucks had put a bounty on his head following his check that left their captain Markus Naslund injured. Bertuzzi pleaded guilty to criminal assault causing bodily harm for the hit and was sentenced in December 2004 to one year probation and 80 hours of community service.

Changes on the Blazers’ back end

Head coach Don Hay says defence core is deeper, bigger, more competitive By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Ryan Rehill will be a workhorse for the 2014-2015 Kamloops Blazers, playing on a blue line that has seen much alteration this off-season. KTW file photo

LONG WITH THE Prince George Cougars did the Kamloops Blazers share the dubious distinction of allowing the most goals in the Western Conference last season. Pointing the finger entirely at the blue line for the cellar-dwelling statistic would be unfair, but it shoulders an abundance of blame for the team’s spot in the basement. Kamloops and Prince George each allowed 305 goals after the dust settled on the 2013-2014 campaign. There has been a raft of changes with the rearguards since last season mercifully ended for the Blue and Orange and the WHL club’s top blueliner, Ryan Rehill, sees them as improvements. “I feel like it’s a step up from last year,” said Rehill, drafted in the fifth round by the New Jersey Devils in June. “We’ve got some older guys and some bigger numbers, with the two Europeans we brought in. We’ve got a strong core group and it’s going to be pretty competitive to fight for spots and playing time this year.” Rehill and fellow returnee Josh Connolly, both born in 1995, will anchor the unit along with Brady Gaudet, a

Spots still up for grabs on Kamloops blue line X From A22

Gaudet played 117 games with Kamloops between 2010 and 2012, racking up seven goals and 34 points before being dealt to Red Deer. Last season, Gaudet had five goals and 31 points in 71 games. The Redvers, Sask., product is minus-24 after 241 WHL contests. Swiss import Edson Harlacher was among Kamloops’ top-four D-men last season, but he decided to return to Europe, leaving a vacancy for general manager Craig Bonner to fill. Another of the Blazers’ more reliable defencemen, Sam Grist, aged out of junior hockey. Matt Thomas, 19, was released in April. Bonner used the CHL import draft on July 2 to round out the back end, selecting 1996-born Patrik Maier of Slovakia sixth overall and 1995born Michael Fora of Switzerland 66th overall. Maier, five-feetnine and 190 pounds, played for his country at the under-18 world championships in Finland in the spring. Fora, six-foottwo and 198 pounds, racked up nine points in 38 games last season with under-20 Ambri-Piotta, a pro team in Switzerland. “Maier seems to be more of a puck mover and Fora is a more physical, bigger-body guy who takes up space,” said Hay, noting they both move the puck well. With Rehill, Connolly, Gaudet, Maier and Fora expected to be on the roster come the season and home opener against Victoria on Sept. 19, that leaves two or three spots up for grabs. Returning 18-yearolds Austin Douglas and Connor Clouston and 17-year-old Cameron Reagan will jostle for position. Travis Verveda, who turns 17 in

November, was signed by the Blazers after training camp last year

and is expected to be in the hunt. The Lacombe, Alta., native is a lefthand shot who stands six feet tall and weighs 165 pounds. “It could go anybody’s way,” said Rehill, who followed

in the footsteps of Scott Niedermayer, the last Blazer drafted by the Devils. “It’s going to be who wants it more and who shows the best in camp and pre-season. “The guys that will be in and out of the

lineup have to keep working hard when they’re not in the lineup and not get down on themselves. That’s a big thing for the younger guys.” Kamloops drafted Dawson Davidson in Round 3 of the 2013

bantam draft. Still only 16, the Moosomin, Sask., product is a long shot to make the team, but those on Mark Recchi Way are pegging him to be a part of the future. “We feel we’ve gotten deeper, we feel

we’ve gotten bigger and we feel we’ve gotten more competitive,” Hay said. “It’s quite a different look and there will be some interesting battles throughout training camp and preseason.”

Teen who killed family granted unescorted leaves from prison CANADIAN PRESS

VICTORIA — A B.C. man who was 15 when he murdered four people, including his parents, will be allowed an unescorted temporary absence from prison. James Ruscitti is serving a life sentence for the 1996 slayings of Rocco and Marilyn Ruscitti, his brother’s 17-year-old girlfriend and a boarder who lived in their home near 100 Mile House, 200 kilometres northwest of Kamloops. In a written decision released Wednesday, Aug. 20, the National Parole Board granted Ruscitti’s request for a 60-day absence to attend a residential substance abuse treatment facility on Vancouver Island. Now 33, the parole board members noted that Ruscitti is considered a moderate to high risk for violent reoffending but found he has made progress in his rehabilitation. “You have now voiced remorse for your crimes,’’ the decision said. “You apologized to the victims and said you regret your crimes. This appears to be genuine.’’ The unescorted absence is the first step in what parole board members called a “very gradual’’ reintegration into society.

As a youth at the time of the crime, Ruscitti has been eligible for parole since 2004. Ruscitti’s explanation for the murders has changed over time, the decision noted. In the “honest’’ version given to board members at the parole hearing this month, Ruscitti said he was entrenched in a drug culture by age 15. “There were concerns of your abusing and torturing animals, encountering disciplinary problems in school, and using drugs from an early age,’’ the decision said. Though he sold drugs and used marijuana, cocaine and LSD at the time of his crime, Ruscitti was “sober and enraged’’ when he and a 14-year-old accomplice shot the victims at point-blank range on June 22, 1996. Living on his own, dealing drugs, Ruscitti returned home one day to find his residence had been searched. He found out his father and the boarder, Dennis O’Hara, were responsible. “Trying to impress your criminal associates,’’ he planned revenge, the board members said. After the murders, Ruscitti left his two-month-old niece in a room with her dead mother, Christine Clarke, who was

his brother’s girlfriend. “You did not give any thought to killing the infant but you did very little to make efforts to ensure the child would be rescued,’’ the decision said. The baby was found two days later so dehydrated doctors felt she was within hours of death. Ruscitti shot all four victims. Chad Bucknell also shot O’Hara. “You took full responsibility for the violence and explained you were a thrill seeker trying to be a ‘gangster’ and had major anger issues against three of your four victims,’’ the board members said. Ruscitti, who was adopted, had two sisters and an older brother. A previous board decision said he has undergone offender-victim mediation with one sibling, who supports his release. But the latest decision said the victims’ family members want no contact with him and one of the conditions of his unescorted absence is that he make no attempt to get in touch. Bucknell was granted full parole three years ago. Ruscitti’s parole hearing was originally slated to be held in Kamloops but was moved to Victoria to be closer to where he is serving his sentence.

B.C.-made drug bodes well for fighting Ebola By Helen Branswell CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — An experimental drug for the Marburg virus appears to be able to beat back the often fatal infection even when given several days after exposure, a new study in primates suggests. The drug, called TKM-Marburg, is made by Tekmira Pharmaceuticals of Burnaby and uses the same mode of action as the company’s experimental Ebola therapeutic, TKM-Ebola. Marburg and Ebola are different — though related — members of the filovirus family. The fact that the Marburg drug appears to work when given late provides additional hope the same may be true about TKM-Ebola, some experts suggest. But the company itself was cautious on that front. “The work we have conducted in TKM-Marburg cannot be said to be predictive of how TKM-Ebola might work in humans. However, the studies validate Tekmira’s technology,’’ it said via email on Wednesday, Aug. 20. The Marburg drug saved four of four rhesus monkeys which were given the compound three days after they were infected with a massive dose of the virus. When they were treated, the monkeys already had viremia — virus in the blood. The senior researcher on the project, Tom Geisbert, suggested this evidence of efficacy once infection has taken root means the drug may be useful in outbreak settings, where people typically only seek care once they develop symptoms.

Mr. Toad meets musical-theatre students By Jessica Wallace STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

HAEL O’BRIEN ASKED HER dad to set an alarm on his phone for May 19. It was the day registration opened for Western Canada Theatre’s summer theatre camp and she wanted to guarantee her spot. The 11-year-old returning student has the lead role in this year’s inaugural Musical Theatre Performance Class. “I love singing, I love acting,” she said. Director Melissa Thomas said regular theatre classes were selling out when the

program expanded to include a musicaltheatre class that features a final public performance. Thomas was joined by 11 students, instructor Allison Clow, music director Christina Cuglietta and two choreographers on Aug. 5 for a three-week turnaround that concludes this week with two live shows of The Adventures of Mr. Toad. KTW caught up with Thomas and the students during one of their final days of rehearsal. The group has set up at TRU’s Actors Workshop Theatre this year while Pavilion Theatre is under renovation. A top hat and fuzzy ears are passed among students ages eight to 15, to depict the story of Mr. Toad,

his desire for a trendy motorcar and the trouble in which he finds himself in. On stage, a set that once resembled rocks and stone has been transformed into bushes and trees by recent TRU graduate Jared Raschke, who initially constructed the elements for X Fest and repurposed them for Stage One. Thomas said about half of the students are new and half are returning. She chose O’Brien to play Mr. Toad as one of the returning students — it’s her third camp production — but also for her spunk and hardworking attitude. “She’s always one of the first ones offbook,” Thomas said. O’Brien had to learn dancing for her role,

with help from two former students, Emma Tow and Sam Bregolis, both choreographing the play. Cuglietta and local youngsters will set the tune with a live band for the musical numbers in the show. “It’s a musical theatre comedic adventure,” Thomas said. Two shows take place this weekend, an evening show and a matinee, with tickets by donation at the door. They will be held at the theatre, inside the Old Main at TRU next-door to Starbucks, on Saturday, Aug. 23 at 7 p.m. and on Sunday, Aug. 24 at 2 p.m. Facepainting will also take place on site by donation.

Local singer Vince Austin is organizing a large-scale open-mic session at Riverside Park on Saturday, Aug. 23, and is raising money for B.C. Children’s Hospital. KTW file photo

Big-time busking at the bandshell this weekend By Jessica Wallace STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

INCE AUSTIN KNOWS IT CAN be tough starting out in the music biz. After all, the organizer of The Big Busk, a large-scale open-mic night at Riverside Park, is having trouble finding his own band to perform country and blues music alongside. “My kind of luck,” said the 26-year-old musician, who calls himself a “striving” local musician, “not a starving one.” The idea for the event was also prompted by his recent experience in the Canada Day competition, Kamloops Got Talent.

The Kamloops musician was one of the winners in the inaugural event — he took home Judge’s Choice among adult contenders — and he noticed other musicians were disappointed when they were knocked out of the running. They had just wanted to perform, Austin said. “In the end, only nine were allowed to go onstage,” he said. “Some people really take it to heart if they don’t make it to a certain level.” He’s hoping to inspire musicians of all experience levels to perform during the large-scale open-mic session at Riverside Park on Saturday, Aug. 23. A large whiteboard will be set up in front

of the bandshell, and those interested in performing on stage need only to write their name on it and wait their turn. “It’s very informal,” Austin said. “It’s for the willing who want to get up there.” It might resemble a typical karaoke night at a pub mixed with Music in the Park — being at the same venue with the same equipment. “It’s kind of iconic for Kamloops,” Austin said. Austin said the event will likely be the first of multiple events like it — and he is hoping for a good turnout from the local music community. “There’s been nothing but positive feed-

back,” he said. “If I have less than 30 musicians, I’d be upset.” Austin will be accepting donations for the B.C. Children’s Hospital. Those who wish to sing are asked to bring karaoke versions of their music. Smartphones can be plugged into the sound system to play YouTube videos or downloads. A drum kit and monitors will be provided. Musicians are encouraged to bring other instruments for their own use. Spectators are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets for the outdoor show. The event will take place from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Today’s Sudoku Puzzle is brought to you by Murray MacRae The Steadies will be performing at Music in the Park on Saturday, Aug. 23. The show starts at 7 p.m.

Steady forward with Blue Mules in the park By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

ARL PEREIRA brings a lot of baggage to The Steadies — the kind you’d welcome from a musician. One of the founders of Wide Mouth Mason, he has received two gold records, three Juno Award nominations, toured the world and was declared one of the country’s best bass players by Canadian Music Magazine. He can be seen playing his bass on Saturday, Aug. 23, as the Saskatoon-based band takes the stage for Music in the Park, along with Justin Lee on guitar and Lexie Miller on drums. The group describes itself as having island-rock roots, the kind of music that has seen it perform alongside Ziggy Marley, Blue Rodeo, The Roots and The Wailers. The band hit the charts in

2012 with a self-titled EP that saw it nominated for a Western Canadian Music Award and followed that up with Starcity Shakedown, which was released last year. And, Pereira said, he’s looking forward to this gig, the third time the band will have been on the Music in the Park schedule. “We have yet to experience it to its fullest,” he said, due to bad weather. “So, hopefully, third time’s a charm!” Also coming up at Music in the Park, The Blue Mules are scheduled for the Rotary Bandshell on Aug. 29 — a group that has a link with Pereira, who produced, mastered, “mixed and tweaked growls, thumps and sweet tones,” for their release, Blues Ain’t That Bad, said Trent Schmiedge, founder of the blues band. He also has an extensive musical background, first as a

guitar teacher, then a student of music at the University of Saskatchewan and Grant MacEwan University. Touring came next with a variety of bands and Schmiedge moved into a company with its own studio, clubs and booking agency, — all just delaying creation of the Mules. “So goes life,” he said. “Lessons learned during these years were invaluable and I believe this journey led to the birth of the Blue Mules. Everything happens for a reason.” Rounding out the band is Dale Ehman on bass and Graham Templeman on drums. Together, the trio has played with the likes of David Wilcox and Omar and the Howlers and seen their CD get airplay on more than 100 radio stations in 10 countries. Music in the Park shows start at 7 p.m. nightly and run to about 8:30 p.m.

FAITH

To reach full awareness, give in to the Silence BRIAN PUIDA MITCHELL You Gotta Have FAITH our hearts we were infinitely more than these tiny expressions of our infinitely deeper Real Self? We move beyond that small self and gradually into our larger Self through a daily discipline of entrusting our personal being into something/someone beyond our ego-oriented personalities. We cannot do this unless we feel, to some degree, we will be safe wherever we are headed. Fearful beings that we are, we need to feel

a genuine element of trust in whatever we are “entrusting” ourselves to. So, if we have made a choice through our meditation to let go of a clinging attachment to our unique, smaller self, in what are we going to trust? This something/ someone to trust in has traditionally been referred to as “God.” I have, however, some very deep reservations about using that word. For the most part, people have made “God” according to their own image and understanding. But, “God” by definition is beyond our ability to conceive. That is why I often find myself using other terminology to approach this place of truth and wisdom — to break me out of my smaller mind, my

smaller self. Some words I use to help shake me up are: Source, Ultimate Reality, Being, Life, Presence, All and Everything, the Divine, Love. As a Christian, I personally also connect intimately with the Trinity — Father, Son and Spirit. The fact is, however, regardless of the language we use to attempt to come into a connection with this “God,” we cannot “understand” with our minds alone the enormity of that which we are attempting to approach. “God” is beyond language. And that is why we simply need a practice of intentional silence (contemplation/meditation) in order to enter into an ongoing relationship with this God. Only in the darkness of the silence can we

move beyond our egoic selves and gradually enter into a heart-knowing of, and with, this Divine Other — this Divine Other who is not exclusively “other” but, in fact, resides fully in each and every one of us (and in all of creation as well, but that’s a story for another day). We are not separate from God. As we move in our meditation time beyond our dependence on our personal, egoic being, we move into a condition of unconsciousness — a condition of complete unknowing. It is only when we have moved beyond awareness of our separate existence that we can enter into union with God. And union with God is one of the primary reasons we are here. Once we have experienced the precious wholeness, the sacred

holiness, of that meeting, we are then free to become all that we can become. The apostle Paul asks the early Christians in Corinth, “Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?” As God, by whatever name you call Him/ Her/It, dwelt in Jesus/ Yeshua, so this same Divine Presence resides in each of us. But, to come into a full awareness of this flowering within. we must give ourselves over to the Silence. Brian Puida Mitchell facilitates an interdenominational Kamloops contemplative group. He has a certificate in spiritual direction from the Pacific Jubilee Program. bmitchell@tru.ca

”

N PREVIOUS columns, I’ve spoken of the necessity of establishing an on-going contemplation/meditation practice in your life if you wish to become the “You” — the True Self you were born to become. Whether you look at your being as essentially pre-established before your birth or feel it is something you are called to unfold in this existence, the bottom line is the small self, the personality, cannot suffice if we are to bloom into the magnificent, fragrant rose which each one of us is. When we come to our deathbed, would it not be a wonderful thing if we knew we had let go of our image of our self — with its thoughts, chains of habit, fears, hopes, opinions and compulsions? To die knowing in

It is only when we have moved beyond awareness of our separate existence that we can enter into union with God.

KIA HAS COME A LONG WAY OVER THE YEARS

7,500

By Jim Robinson

METROLAND MEDIA

wheels.ca

N OLD FRIEND TOLD ME OVER lunch how one of her colleagues drives a Kia Soul, “and she loves it.” And then she said something I now hear a lot: “They have come a long way in just a few years.” It’s just 15 years since Kia opened its doors in Canada. At first, the dealer network was weak, the service spotty but, most of all, the cars were pretty humdrum. Bu,t that was then and this is now, where Kia, last year, couldn’t get enough cars to satisfy demand. Today, they have one of the youngest fleets in the industry, plus they meet or exceed what Canadian consumers expect — and a perfect example is the 2015 Sorento mid-size CUV. Trim levels follow recent Kia nomenclature with an entry-level LX, mid trim EX and top-line SX. The base LX is the only model with a four-cylinder, in this case a 2.4-litre DOHC with 191 h.p. and 181 lb/ft of torque. Standard on the EX, SX and optional on the LX is a 3.3-litre direct injection DOHC V6 with 290 h.p. and 252 lb/ft of torque. A six-speed Sportmatic with manual shift mode is standard as is front-wheel-drive with all-wheeldrive available across the line up. For 2015, Natural Resources Canada has mandated the five-cycle test that gives consumers more realistic fuel consumption figures With the 2.4-litre, fuel ratings are 11.8/8.7L/100 km city/highway in FWD and 12.2/9.4L/100 km in AWD. The 3.3-litre does 12.7/9.0L/100 km in FWD and 13.4/10.0L/100 km in AWD. For those who want to tow a small watercraft or snowmobile, the 2.4-litre and 3.3-litre, when properly equipped, can haul 748 kg and 1,588 kg respectively. The AWD is an on-demand system that directs torque to the tire(s) with the most traction. The system now includes Torque Vectoring Cornering Control (TVCC) for added stability under cornering. On the SX only is FlexSteer that enhances the electric power steering with a driver-selectable three modes — Comfort, Normal and Sport. X See SORENTO B13

X From B7

Normal is for everyday driving while Comfort is for highway cruising. Sport tightens steering wheel response to improve handling. With a relatively long wheelbase (2,700 mm, 106.3 in) the Sorento can cruise all day in comfort. During my week with the SX, I couldn’t tell the difference between Comfort and Normal though I tried both in town and on the highway. Sport, however, does give a tauter feel to the steering wheel but it makes no sense to toss the Sorento around like a sportscar, so I didn’t. The Sorento is a lot bigger than it initially looks, thanks to the Peter Schreyer-styling making it still capable of carrying up to seven people in three rows of seats. The third row is optional on the LX-V6 and SX. While cargo volume is listed as 2,051 litres for both seating variants, all models include a sizeable storage area beneath the cargo floor. If you order thirdrow seats, that space is used when the seat is folded and stored. Even with leadingedge suspension and damping technology, you wouldn’t expect the Sorento to be nimble but I have to say, agile is more like it. Travelling down a street near my home, another driver — on a cellphone, no less — jerked into my lane. With a stab of the brakes and a twist of wheel, I avoided what certainly would have been a collision had I been in my old sevenseat minivan. A backup warning system is standard and you’ll need it because the Sorento is bigger than it looks. A backup camera is found on the EX and SX but not the LX, but I’d like to see it standard on all Sorento models. Traction control, ABS and electronic stability control are now Canadian government-

mandated, but Sorento adds to this with its advanced Vehicle Stability Management, rollover protection and a hill-holder system Kia calls Hill Assist Control. I’ve mentioned Schreyer many times in other stories, whose styling genius has been turning Kia’s pleasant cars into fashion statements. Now president of Kia, he is still in charge of design and his philosophy of “absolute purity” must be visible in each styling element for the vehicle to come off as a whole. This extends into the passenger cabin where you will find this philosophy on the centre stack, where the buttons are placed primarily for user friendliness. As a result, the buttons look right to the eye as well for use by the fingers. Optionally, the cabin features of the 2015 Sorento include a panoramic sunroof with a one-piece, power-operated shade, integrated second-row sliding sunshades, a 115-volt power inverter and illuminated door handle pockets. A power rear liftgate is standard on the SX but not on the LX or EX. While a seven-inch touch screen is standard on the EX and optional on the LX, the SX moves up to an eightinch screen that combines navigation, premium Infinity audio system, SiruisXM Satellite Radio, Bluetooth handsfree connectivity and vehicle settings. On the SX, the front seats are cooled and heated, while the second row is heated. A very upscale touch on the SX is illuminated scuff plates on the doors. Kia is also very good at loading up its vehicles with standard features that are optional elsewhere, while keeping the price competitive. The SX model tested here with options was priced at $40,895. With a $1,665 shipping fee

Double take Chevrolet city with Toyota express gets 24 sports car mpg in the city FT-1 model

Proof that its beauty lies on the inside and out, Toyota has revealed a second interior styling and exterior color for an upscale interpretation of its sensational FT-1 sports car concept. Developed by Calty Design Research in Newport Beach, Calif., the concept vehicle’s graphite exterior paint and light, saddlecolored leather went on display for the first time recently at the Gordon McCall’s Motorworks Revival gala held on California’s Monterey Peninsula. The original FT-1 concept ignited sports car enthusiasts and the automotive world with its January debut at the North American International Auto Show. That first vehicle stunned in a bold red, while this second FT-1 impresses with sophisticated graphite. Both share the deeply sculpted intakes and outlets that support its track-ready nature and the dramatic lines seemingly shaped by the wind. The colour of the upscale leather changes between the first and second FT-1 vehicles, and the visual difference is striking. The first car was dominated by bold, masculine black that keeps the driver focused on the road, while red painted edges and raw metals provide intriguing accents. In the second, the natural leather on the seat is supple with an all-natural grain, giving it an authentic appeal. The painted edges that are red in the first concept are now subtly blended brown in the second. The intention is to bring in a more sophisticated feel and authenticity through color choice, showcasing the versatility of the FT-1 sports car concept. 1.8 SL model shown
