Anti-mine group to return $5K

impacted all areas of Cache Creek.

He said the rainfall washed debris up in front of the firehall and prevented the town’s fire trucks from leaving the building. There was also significant erosion from many of the hillsides.

“It just seemed to get stronger and stronger and worse and worse at time went by,” he said.

Robin Hayes, a resident of Cache Creek, told KTW the storm resembled the flash-flooding Kamloops saw last summer.

“The flood is everywhere, throughout the whole town centre and the upper hills,” she said moments after the deluge ended.

The company behind the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen said it is disappointed its $5,000 donation to a coalition of groups opposed to the project will be returned.

“We’re disappointed that those speaking out against the Ajax project prior to the release of any studies have rejected our no-strings online donation,”KGHM said in a statement to KTW. “We wanted to ensure only that the community had the resources to engage unbiased experts.

The Coalition of Concerned Community Members hopes to raise $25,000 through IndieGoGo.com to hire experts to scrutinize KGHM’s application for environmental review, which will likely be submitted to the province this summer.

On Friday, KGHM Ajax made the largest donation so far — $5,000.

At the time, KGHM Ajax communications strategist Robert Koopmans said the company welcomes the coalition’s review of its studies on the mine’s effects and wanted to contribute money to make it happen.

“If they want to review our science, review our science. It’s a great idea and we’d like to help them do that,” he said.

Spokeswoman Diane Kerr said the coalition — which includes groups such as the Kamloops Area Preservation Association and Kamloops Physicians for a Healthy Environment — met on the weekend and decided unanimously to return the money.

“We believe the people of Kamloops deserve independent eyes on the Ajax application and, in our view, that meant we could not accept the gift,” Kerr said.

STATE OF EMERGENCY IN CACHE CREEK ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The province has approved disaster financial assistance for residents in Cache Creek and the surrounding area who may have been impacted from major flooding that occurred on the weekend.

Disaster financial assistance is available to homeowners, residential tenants, small business owners, farmers, charitable organizations and local governments who are unable to obtain insurance to cover disaster-related losses.

Application forms are available online at embc.gov.bc.ca/em/dfa_claims/dfa.html and must be submitted by Aug. 24.

Saturday’s storm resulted in flash floods

that displaced 126 residents and led the RCMP to evacuate 60 homes.

As a result of the million-dollar-plus damage, Cache Creek Mayor John Ranta signed a state-of-emergency declaration that will remain in effect until this coming Saturday.

With the state of emergency, Ranta also signed an evacuation order for parts of the town.

The spring storm, which began at 4 p.m., dumped 26 millimetres of rain between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. and another 10 millimetres of rain in the next three hours, damaging to roadways, homes and businesses.

Ranta said an initial inspection yesterday found the town’s water and sewer system undamaged.

Ranta described a chaotic scene that

KAMLOOPS, BC V2C 5P6

When norovirus hit customers at one Greek restaurant in the city, there were headlines with the name of the Victoria Street eatery — and it was shut down for days.

When norovirus struck another Greek restaurant just 16 months later, there was nothing in media releases identifying the eatery and it was not ordered closed.

Doug Dick was one of several people who became sick with the virus after eating at Minos restaurant on Tranquille Road in North Kamloops earlier this month.

He asked KTW why Minos was not closed, since Dorian’s Greek House in downtown Kamloops was closed in December 2013.

Dick wondered if the reaction to Dorian’s situation came as a result of it being Royal Inland Hospital medical staff becoming ill there, something Joyce Michaud, the Interior Health Authority’s environmental-health officer — and the person who oversees inspections of places like restaurants —

said is incorrect.

She said when her team is advised of a suspicious health outbreak, it doesn’t consider the occupations of those who are sick unless there is a direct link.

The focus, Michaud said, is identifying the bug, figuring out where it came from and, if possible, where it is, and helping the facility take steps to eradicate it.

Part of that is ensuring people who need to have medical tests get them done and often, which means delivering the test kits to sick people, Michaud said, rather than asking them to leave their homes.

Dick also wondered why IHA didn’t issue a press release warning people about about Minos.

Michaud noted the IHA didn’t issue a press release about Dorian’s, either. Because RIH operating-room staff becoming ill, a release was sent out advising the public surgeries were being cancelled.

Because the medical staff had not eaten at the restaurant

The situation at Minos “was not one where it appeared the restaurant was contributing to ongoing illness.

”

— Joyce Michaud, IHA environmental-health officer

— Dorian’s catered an event for them — the first task was to identify where the virus had come from, Michaud said. Soon there were many more people contacting the IHA with norovirus symptoms and, when it became apparent there was a public-health risk linked to Dorian’s, the restaurant was identified.

With Minos, there was one report on May 4 of someone becoming ill after eating there on May 2. An inspector was sent to the restaurant and, in the absence of any leftover food from that date, reviewed food-safety practices with the staff and told them the facility had to be thoroughly cleaned because the virus could linger on surfaces.

“The next day, we got another call and we called the restaurant again,” Michaud said, noting the IHA did not see it as an

ongoing risk to the public since the restaurant had undergone a thorough cleaning.

“With Dorian’s, there was an order issued [to close until it was given permission from IHA to reopen] ,but there was no need for an order at Minos,” Michaud said.

Orders like that issued to Dorian are also posted on the authority’s website at interiorhealth.ca.

While it did confirm the name of the restaurant to people calling the authority to report illness, Michaud said a decision to release a name “is typically done on the basis of ongoing risk to the community and/or where it would aid ongoing investigation by having those at risk contact IH. “The situation at Minos was not one where it appeared the restaurant was contributing to ongoing illness,” she said.

The speedboat that collided with a houseboat on Shuswap Lake in 2010, leaving one man dead, could have been travelling as slow as 32 km/h, a judge has been told.

Leon Reinbrecht’s trial in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops resumed yesterday after a month-long break.

Reinbrecht is charged with one count each of criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm stemming from a fatal collision on Magna Bay on July 3, 2010.

Ken Brown was killed when his houseboat was struck nearly head-on by Reinbrecht’s speedboat.

Reinbrecht does not deny operating the speedboat, but his lawyers have argued the houseboat was not properly lit prior to the nighttime crash.

The trial, which began in early February, has heard from witnesses who claim to have seen a speedboat driving erratically,

One witness claimed to have heard the speedboat at full throttle seconds before the crash.

Taking the stand yesterday, however,

mechanical engineer Timothy Leggatt said there is nothing to indicate the speedboat was travelling anywhere near its top speed of 72 km/h when it hit the houseboat.

Based on the damage caused to the inside of the houseboat, Leggatt, an expert in vehicle collisions testifying for the defence, believes the speedboat was at the lower end of its planing speed, likely 32 km/h, when the collision took place.

Leggatt admitted, though, it is difficult to determine the speed of either boat.

“It’s not a case where you can calculate the speed, with precision, of either vessel,” he said.

“You can make assumptions.”

Leggatt said he based his opinion largely on the fact the 4,000-pound speedboat’s propeller caused minimal damage to the aluminum structure of the houseboat.

Court also heard the opinion of another expert who said the speedboat could have been travelling as slow as 18 km/h when it struck the houseboat.

Reinbrecht’s trial is expected to conclude this week.

DAMAGE EXTENSIVE FOLLOWING FREAK STORM

From TURN, page 00

“The hills washed down the road,” Hayes said.

“There’s quite a lot of damage.”

She said with the rushing water went land and rocks the size of watermelons.

Hayes said the hours before the storm gave residents the indication a storm was coming, but nothing like what they have experienced.

“It just out of nowhere poured and poured and poured,” she said. “It all started from rain — a massive thunderstorm that had hail and rain.”

The hail, which Hayes said fell for more than 30 minutes, was marble-sized.

She said the flooding began just from rain water but, before long, the river had flooded its banks and was contributing to the damage.

Hayes estimated 45 per cent of the town was underwater at one point, in some places nearly knee-high.

At the Sandman Inn, staff were taking in about 20 residents brought to the door by emergency services. Behind the hotel, the road had been washed away.

Up the street at the Cache Creek Motor Inn, Areena Parihar said her laundry room and office were flooded.

Ranta said Stage Road was among the hardesthit areas, where more than 20 feet of debris was washed up against a storm culvert, preventing water drainage.

“What used to be a ravine is now full and level, the height of the bridge,” Ranta said.

Along the same roadway, much of the land has been moved from underneath sidewalks. He said there is one walkway that is hanging suspended, with no soil underneath it.

Valleyview Drive, which will likely have significant flooding to basements and damage from debris, and the area surrounding the firehall were the other two areas hardest hit.

“Wherever you go in the community, it looks like there’s some significant disaster that has happened everywhere,” Ranta said.

“There’s an awful lot of work to be done but, hopefully, everyone is using common sense.”

Ranta said Mounties informed him there were no significant injuries in the flood.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW Many homes in the Riverside Trailer Park were damaaged in the storm and residents were evacuated.

Group estimates cost of $3K to $5K per expert From A1

“We need to maintain no connection with the mine,” Kerr said.

Kerr said the group believes taking the money would compromise the integrity of any findings by its own experts and its independence in the eyes of other donors to the project.

As of Monday, the campaign has raised more than $18,000 — $13,000, once KGHM’s money is returned — in six days.

Kerr said the groups are in touch with the website hosting their campaign about KGHM’s donation.

“When you’re working basically through electronic means and the person you’re interacting with is in San Francisco,

things don’t necessarily move quickly,” she said. “But, we will do our best to ensure the refund happens as soon as possible.”

John Schleiermacher, another spokesman for the coalition, told KTW the group is considering renting a storefront where the public can access information about Ajax’s application for environmental review. Once submitted, it will includes tens of thousands of pages and many highly technical studies on the effects of the mine.

But, Schleiermacher said, most of the money is earmarked for “hired guns who’ll go through this application with a finetoothed comb and make sure each issue is addressed properly in the application.”

The coalition estimates it will cost $3,000 to $5,000 per

expert hired to assess the mine’s application.

In its statement to KTW, KGHM Ajax said the reports to be scrutinized “will be the work of independent, worldrenowned engineering and consulting firms.

“These firms are staffed by engineers, PhDs and varied scientists, many of whom must answer to professional associations. Their reports will be further peer-reviewed by other independent, third-party experts before being submitted to government. “ We are confident the science that will support the Ajax project EA application will be thorough, fact-based and objective and we encourage and support all unbiased thirdparty reviews.”

Former NHL player pleads guilty TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A former National Hockey League enforcer has pleaded guilty to a string of criminal charges dating back to last year.

Rudy Poeschek was in Kamloops provincial court on Monday, where he entered guilty pleas to four counts — three allegations of driving while prohibited and one count of assault.

He will be sentenced on July 2.

Two of the charges date back to July 5, 2014, when Poeschek was arrested in Merritt for driving while prohibited and in Kamloops for assault.

The remaining two charges to which Poeschek pleaded guilty are also driving while prohibited counts from Merritt — one dating back to Aug. 20, 2014, and the other to Oct. 25, 2014.

Splitting time between the New York Rangers, Winnipeg Jets, Tampa Bay Lightning and St. Louis Blues,

Poeschek played 364 NHL games over 12 seasons, tallying six goals and 25 assists while racking up 817 penalty minutes.

Prior to his professional career, Poeschek, a Terrace native, played in the WHL for the Kamloops Junior Oilers and Blazers between 1983 and 1987.

He was selected 238th overall by the Rangers in the 12th round of the 1985 NHL Entry Draft.

Poeschek’s professional career ended in 2001.

Rudy Poeschek as he appeared on a hockey card during playing career.

In 2005, a Florida judge sentenced Poeschek to 60 days in jail after he was arrested for driving across lawns in his Tampa

neighbourhood with his five-year-old daughter in the car.

In the three years prior to that, Poeschek was arrested eight times in Florida following a failed comeback attempt with the Lightning in 2002.

In addition to the charges to which Poeschek pleaded guilty, he also faces single counts of dangerous driving and driving while prohibited.

Those charges are expected to be stayed by the Crown at sentencing.

Nine in the morning too early to imbibe?

ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

It may be five o’clock somewhere else, but the Kamloops social planning council thinks 9 a.m. is too early to offer alcohol for sale at the city’s new casino.

The citizen committee has rejected requests from both Cascades Casino — now being constructed in the former Rona building between Aberdeen and Pineview Valley — and Chances Gaming Centre on the North Shore to begin serving alcohol at 9 a.m. and 9:30 a.m., respectively.

According to minutes from its April 22 meeting, the committee recommended both establishments begin serving alcohol

no earlier than 11 a.m.

“Members felt that allowing alcohol consumption at 9:00 am was unnecessary and could contribute to excessive alcohol intake and problem drinking,” meeting minutes state.

The social planning council was also concerned about the increased capacity at both establishments “and the combination of alcohol and gambling.”

Cascades is seeking three liquor licences for the Aberdeen casino, while cancelling the liquor licence for its soon-to-beshuttered Victoria Street location.

Chances is looking to increase its capacity from 445 to 900 people and to allow the sale and consumption of alcohol on a new patio and addition.

Only the Chances liquor licence amendment is up for debate today, with the application amended to ask for an 11 a.m. start to serving booze.

City staff are recommending council support the application, which would go to the B.C. Liquor Control and Licensing Branch for further scrutiny.

The casino applications weren’t the council’s only source of concern, minutes show.

A liquor licence application that would allow a capacity increase on the area floor at Interior Savings Centre also troubled some members, who had “reservations about the combined increase in Liquor Licence capacity for the community represented by the three applications.”

Feds pony up $4.4 million for Kamloops Airport ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

With Ottawa funding more than half the cost of the project, a major reconstruction and rehabilitation of the Kamloops Airport runway is moving ahead.

But, unlike other major roadworks in the city this summer, airport manager Fred Legace said he’s hoping passengers don’t notice the $7 million in reconstruction and repaving taking place below the wheels of their aircrafts this summer.

“Our problem is we’re a single-runway airport, like probably the vast majority of airports across the world, and, if you want to do work on a runway, you typi-

cally take it out of service,” Legace said.

“Well, that wouldn’t work for our community.”

Besides passengers leaving or arriving for business trips and vacations, the airport is the launch point for planes used to fight wildfires, as well as medical evacuations for Kamloops and area, Legace said, and closing it for the duration of the project could have a major impact on the region’s economy.

Instead, work on the runway will mostly be carried out at night, in quick bursts that can be patched over for the next day’s planes.

The rehabilitation won’t include 2,000 feet of new runway added in 2008, but the 6,000 feet of old runway

that last had major work done in the 1990s.

On the far end of the runway, workers will have to entirely rebuild about 700 feet where the runway base was improperly installed in the 1960s, Legace said. Closer to the airport, a contractor will dig down to the existing base, rebuild up to ground level and repave the strip.

The trickiest section comes in the middle of the airport, where Legace said a couple-thousand feet of the runway are shot through with lateral cracks.

“Each one of the cracks has to be dealt with as an individual project every single night,” he said.

“So, you go in, cut the asphalt, dig out the gravel, go right down to the base,

TNRD to reduce hours at select waste management facilities around district THURSDAY

rebuild the base back up again and re-compact at the same compaction level as the gravel next to it — that’s the difficult part. Then you put on temporary asphalt and, at 5:30 a.m., open back up again so aircraft can use the runway.”

The project is already out to tender, which closes on June 5. Legace said the project will be done this summer and will take at last two months to complete.

Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod announced $4.4 million in funding for the runway on Friday. The cash comes from a $30-million Transportation Canada Airports capital assistance program and will bankroll about 55 per cent of the project.

The drama is in the dumping.

Earlier this month, the Thompson-Nicola Regional District board of directors passed a motion after extensive debate, the result of which is the reduction of the hours of operation at waste management facilities across the district.

The reduction came at the recommendation of TNRD staff, which studied facility usage for nearly a year. The stated intention of the review was to ensure the best use of resources, while maintaining a high level of service to residents.

Overall, the report found that many of the district’s facilities

Coun. Ken Christian, president of the Kamloops Airport Authority Society, said the remainder of the money will come from the $10 airport-improvement fee charged to each passenger departing from Fulton Field. While the City of Kamloops may be called on to do some short-term borrowing for the project, Christian said those costs will also be borne by the airport authority, not by taxpayers.

“We’re delighted with the announcement,” Christian said. “I think Kamloops got certainly its fair share. I think it’s a $30-million fund, so we did very well in terms of the allocation for the whole country.”

Legace said passengers may not notice much dif-

had “very low customer visits for how many hours they are open.”

In his report to the environmental solid waste management committee, Peter Hughes, manager of environmental health services, said a facility should ideally average roughly five customers per hour in order to justify attendant costs.

Many facilities in the district were unable to meet that number.

Knutsford, cutting 14 hours per week in the summer and eight hours per week in the winter, and Savona, dropping 10 hours a week in the summer and four hours a week in the winter, will be among those experiencing decreases.

Hours also increased at the Clearwater and Lower Nicola facilities.

The overall change in hours will see a net decrease of $55,000 per year in operating costs.

According to the report, the new hours will be implemented

in 2015, with timelines varying based on “ease of transition, operational issues and the public input process.”

All changes will be implemented by Oct. 1.

Aggressive mosquito has city scratching

Activity Programs

ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The mosquitos are annoying even Cheryl Phippen.

That’s saying something. Phippen, owner of BWP Consulting Inc. (BWP), the mosquitocontrol company servicing the ThompsonNicola Regional District, said it takes a lot for the bugs to get on her nerves.

But, relief might soon be on the way.

“Right now, we’re on track for a really good year, in terms of not many mosquitos,” Phippen said.

With the region’s early spring, as well as low precipitation levels and unseasonably hot weather, mosquitos might soon be biting the dust rather than the skin of Kamloops residents.

“Even the snowmelt stuff that we did find and treat, it was smaller than usual,” she said.

Though Phippen expects a good mosquito year ahead, she admitted the situation may still change — mosquitos that come with the flooding of the Thompson River have yet to hatch.

BWP is on top of those sites, though, and the flooding of the river has been minimal.

Barring a monsoonlike rain in coming

weeks, she said the Tournament Capital might get off lucky in 2015.

For those Kamloopsians wondering where all the bugs are coming from, Phippen admitted she has been equally stumped in certain cases. The mosquitos have been terrible at her home in Barnhartvale and there’s little water around. The same goes for Kenna Cartwright Park.

As for the mosquitos this spring, Phippen said it may be the breed of the bug, not the population, that has seen the slapping and scratching skyrocket.

The Snow Mountain mosquito — which she described as blonde, with striped legs — is a very determined mosquito.

“Even in lower numbers, people notice them because they’re so aggressive,” Phippen said. “They’re not a dopey species, they’re in your face.

“They’ll die off though. There’s no water for them.”

The Snow Mountain mosquito likes very shallow water in grasslands and can reproduce in a puddle as

small as a cattle-hoof print, Phippen said.

Because shallow water is of particular concern with this breed, BWP will treat even small ditches or shallow standing water when reported.

The public can

help, too, Phippen said. Around the Tournament Capital, small puddles of standing water are sitting on top of pool covers.

Dispersing the water, no matter how little it may seem, will go a long way to helping

control the pests in urban areas.

To report an area in need of mosquito treatment, call the TNRD’s mosquito control advisory line at 250-3725700 and leave a name and contact phone number.

Lillooet man dies in weekend crash on Hwy 1 The BC Coroners Service has confirmed the identity of a man who died after a single-vehicle accident west of Kamloops on Saturday.

He was Jerrylee Lyle Terry, 33, of Lillooet.

Terry was the driver and sole occupant of a pickup truck that, while heading west on Highway 1 about eight kilometres east of Kamloops, left the highway, hit a rock face and rolled at about 2:30 a.m.

Terry died at the scene.

The BC Coroners Service and RCMP Traffic Services continue to investigate the death.

GREAT WEEK TO BIKE TO WORK

I

f there’s a more rain and storms this week, blame Bike to Work Week.

All joking aside, cyclists should be able to look forward to some sunny skies.

That hasn’t always been the case in past years, but it would be appreciated, because we hope Bike to Work Week is successful.

The annual cycling awareness event stared yesterday in Kamloops and around B.C. as part of a provincial government initiative to get more people pedalling.

Commuters are invited to challenge themselves by registering for Bike to Work Week as individuals or as part of a team, and they’re encouraged to cycle through celebration stations, where they can enter prize draws and receive refreshments.

Students can also participate by signing up to bike to school.

If people commit to two-wheeled commuting, or if they don’t, there are indications Kamloops is becoming a more cycle-friendly city, as is evident by more and more signs and markings showing bike routes.

We support those who wish to be spokespeople — pun intended — during Bike to Work Week and we hope everyone else will at least share the road.

Consider the dual construction projects on Overlanders Bridge and along Columbia Street and jumping on two wheels might be the smartest commuting decision in Kamloops.

It’s a nice day for a bike ride and it’s always a nice day to contribute to a cleaner city.

Kudos for seeking a stance

I

t caught my attention, if only because I wasn’t expecting it.

As I frantically flipped through the agenda in the Thompson-Nicola Regional District boardroom, the board of directors plodding through the new business portion of the meeting, Al Raine stopped me in my tracks.

He announced that he planned to ask the board to vote on a motion of support for the proposed Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion.

I couldn’t believe it — Raine was going to ask politicians in the district to take a stance on something.

I still consider myself to be somewhat new to Kamloops.

Having moved to the city in the summer of 2012, I still find myself having to ask fellow reporters for background on longstanding issues.

I’m even newer to reporting on anything even remotely political — in this case, the TNRD board of directors.

But, I read the newspaper we put out, I talk about the politics of our town, province and country with my newsroom neighbours and I’m often frustrated by the hesitancy of our local politicians to pick a side.

So, when Raine said he was going to, in essence, force the TNRD to express an opinion on the Trans Mountain pipeline proposal, I had just one thought: kudos.

This is not because I necessarily agree with the twinning of the pipeline. To be honest, I don’t feel like I know enough about

ADAM WILLIAMS

Fooled ‘Em

AGAIN

the project to make an informed argument for one side or the other.

As a reporter who has spent much of his young career writing about sporting events around Kamloops, scrutinizing a plan to twin a 60-year-old pipeline that traverses hundreds of kilometres across dozens of regions and communities still feels a little outside of my wheelhouse.

But, for many politicians in the TNRD, this issue is far from new.

They’ve read the research, they’ve heard the arguments, they’ve sat through presentation after presentation, they’ve talked with interested parties and they’ve worked with interested groups.

And, most important of all, they were elected to be the voice of the people in British Columbia’s Interior. Who better to take the lead and take a stance?

Who better to start making decisions and expressing thoughts that will inform the opinions of the voting public?

In my relatively short history in Kamloops, I have sometimes been frustrated by the tightrope walking of our local politicians.

When I went to the polls last year, I voted for a group of people I wanted to govern my community, a group of people I trusted to make the difficult decisions, even though it might sometimes make them unpopular.

Whether it’s deciding to move forward on a $90-million performing-arts centre or expressing an opinion on the proposed Ajax mine, I voted for people I thought would do what they deemed best for the community.

In some cases, they have done that. On the Ajax mine debate, for instance, four councillors (Dieter Dudy, Denis Walsh, Tina Lange and Donovan Cavers) have taken a side.

When it came to water meters in town, council moved forward with installation of the devices (despite the results of a pair of referendums) because they felt it was best for the city.

At the TNRD meeting this week, a couple of those same councillors, as well as a few others, will be asked to take a stand on the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion.

The TNRD is going to have to choose a side on a controversial issue.

With any luck, voters around the province will be able to look to their leaders for guidance, for help in informing their own opinions, as early as this week.

I for one, find it refreshing.

It wasn’t a development I expected at the TNRD meeting two weeks ago, but maybe our politicians have begun to live up to expectations. adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

ROUNDUP MORE HARMFUL THAN HELPFUL Editor: I was shocked and saddened to see extralarge-size containers of Roundup featured in prominent displays at two local retailers.

Perhaps it was sent here because the City of Vancouver and many other municipalities have largely banned its use and Kamloops is a place where it can still be promoted.

The City of Kamloops Pesticide Use Control Bylaw No. 26-2 also restricts the use of glyphosate (the active ingredient in Roundup), but there are so many exceptions that the law is basically meaningless.

I was assured by managers at both retailers that anyone can buy and use Roundup.

Contrary to what the manufacturer would have us believe, Roundup is not “environmentally friendly” and does not just “disappear” after you spray it on plants.

Glyphosate has been detected in food, water and human bodies and has been linked to a wide variety of health problems, from autism to reproductive problems.

The World Health Organization recently put Roundup on its list of “probable” carcinogens.

Agrochemical giant Monsanto, the manufacturer of Roundup, has sucI was ceeded in making assured by it the most widely used herbicide in managers at the world, largely both retailers due to the producthat anyone tion of genetically modified Roundup can buy Ready crops, which and use are resistant to glyphosate and can Roundup. be sprayed liberally with Roundup, leaving the crops intact, but all the weeds around them dead.

Nearly all corn, soy and cotton crops worldwide are sprayed with glyphosate.

This practice has been devastating to

“

”

KUDOS FOR MERGING INFO Editor: Kudos to the city and also to the gentleman who sent in a letter last week to correct our knowledge of traffic merges at construction sites.

He told us the rules of the road allow two lanes of traffic right up to the merge sign and to not merge immediately when we see the yellow sign warning of one lane ahead.

With reference to the approach to Overlanders Bridge, the city has posted the said rule, with a flashing notice: “Use two lanes until the merge 170m ahead”.

Until I read the letter and saw

the sign, I was like many others, getting annoyed by drivers “cutting in.”

With the city posting this information, all we have to do now is read and move more quickly to the bridge.

Like Lions Gate Bridge — often with four lanes merging into one — the process should be calm and easy, with every other car from each lane merging just before the barrier.

aboriginal and farming populations in countries like Paraguay and Argentina, where certain agricultural areas are regularly saturated with Roundup.

Instead of supporting a giant multinational chemical company by purchasing a product that earns it billions of dollars in profits ($5.1 billion in 2014) at the expense of human health and the global environment, you can get rid of most weeds with the following home recipe: four litres vinegar, one cup salt and one tablespoon dishwashing liquid. Saturate the whole plant and repeat a few days later if necessary.

This works great for weeds growing through the cracks in concrete or pavement.

For large areas of weeds, simply soak the ground the day before with a sprinkler and then pull or hoe the weeds.

NO EVIDENCE OF GARDEN ON TRASH CITED IN LETTER FOURTH?

Editor: Re: Tucson resident Susan Enholm’s letter of May 14 (‘Clean it up, now’): Too bad she got such a bad impression of Kamloops, but I don’t know where she saw all the trash because I live right by where the Rocky Mountain Train comes in and the parking area is always clean and tidy.

In fact, Mountaineer staff make sure of that by doing a cleanup if it ever becomes necessary.

Editor: Wouldn’t it be great if the parking lot behind that eyesore at Fourth Avenue and Seymour Street was a community garden?

The building itself could be revamped to house an indoor public market.

COUNCIL TO GET REPORT ON ARTS CENTRE Peavy Mart PRELIMINARY NUMBERS ON THE AGENDA on its way to TODAY AT KAMLOOPS CITY COUNCIL MEETING Valleyview

ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

“Are you in favour of the City of Kamloops borrowing up to $49 million to design and construct the parkade and performing-arts centre complex?”

That’s one variation on the question city staff is suggesting council pose to Kamloops voters on Sunday, Nov. 7 of this year.

In a report headed to council today, recreation, social development and culture

manager Barbara Berger presents council with three variations on that basic question — alternatives include the number of the loan authorization bylaw that would be given to the project.

The overall cost for the project is projected at $90 million.

About $61 million is for the arts centre, which includes 1,200seat and 350-seat theatres, with about

$26 million needed to build a two-level underground parkade.

Those numbers are preliminary, as no design for the centre yet exists, but the $49-million cap on borrowing would be firm.

“It was agreed that, while the total cost of the project may alter and the amount of grants/naming rights are not known, the total the City will borrow for the project will

not exceed $49 million,” Berger’s report states.

The city’s Performing Arts Centre Steering Committee selected the Nov. 7 date because provincial legislation dictates referendum votes must run on Sundays and a vote on Nov. 21 or Nov. 14 could potentially conflict with Remembrance Day (advance voting must be held 10 days ahead of a referendum).

Location:

Nov. 28 was deemed a bad choice because of the higher probability of bad weather.

October was also ruled out because of the federal election on Oct. 19.

Berger’s report doesn’t include a projected cost for the referendum, but city staff have previously said it’s likely to be similar to last fall’s local elections, which cost the city about $135,000.

trace its roots back 40 years.

The family-owned firm plans to open a 35,000-square-foot store in Valleyview beside Princess Auto — a competing retailer with some common market niches.

“You can’t be everything to everybody,” said marketing manager Alan Flowers.

“The idea was to be a supermarket for the rural lifestyle — that remains.”

The location is slated to be open by October. The company said it expects to create about 20 jobs.

Peavey Mart sells brand name goods in hardware, home canning and meat processing, work clothing as well as pet and agricultural supplies.

In spring, customers can purchase chickens and honey bees.

“We’re next to Princess Auto in a lot of locations,” he said.

“That’s why we both do well.”

That will include in Valleyview at what is a former Kmart and, most recently, Convergys Corp. call centre site that shut its doors five years ago.

While the retailer will cater to suburban gardeners and do-ityourselfers, its core market is based on agriculture.

Flowers said research here confirms Kamloops’ agricultural market and base.

“We’re big in agriculture: farm supply is the biggest part of our business,” Flowers said.

Peavey Mart most recently opened a store in Winnipeg and plans to open a location in Strathmore, Alta. next year.

Daniel Wesley is bringing his four-piece band to the Blue Grotto on June 4 to promote I am Your Man, which was released on May 5.

When “there’s a child here in the house, I’m not going to be plugging in.

The acoustic guitar seemed to be a good option.

”

— DANIEL WESLEY

D

aniel Wesley made I am Your Man his own way.

The reggae-rock musician, who hails from the Lower Mainland, released his latest album on May 5 and, after learning from creating three previous records with a label, he tackled this one himself.

“It [a record label] just seemed less and less important as the years went on,” Wesley told KTW in a phone interview.

The 33-year-old singer-songwriter has plenty of experience, with a decade under his belt in the music industry.

His first album, Outlaw, was released in 2006 and he said things have changed a lot since then with the online element.

For this album, for example, Wesley launched an online Kickstarter campaign to help fund the project.

It raised $6,264 from 91 supporters.

“It went really well. We hit our goal and surpassed it,” Welsey said.

He also used the campaign as a way to interact with fans and hype the music.

One person who backed the campaign posted on his project’s page: “So happy and proud to be able to support you in your artistic endeavours . .

Can’t wait to see you again in Kamloops . . .”

“It seemed like the most natural thing to happen,” Wesley said.

I am Your Man has a lighter acoustic feel after Wesley’s previous heavier electric albums.

The sound may be the result of becoming a father, Wesley said, and the reality of having a two-year-old at home and expecting another baby this summer.

“When there’s a child here in the house, I’m not going to be plugging in,” he said.

“The acoustic guitar seemed to be a good option.”

I am Your Man still includes the bandmates

he’s worked with for six years — drummer Tim Proznick, bassist Darren Parris, saxophonist Alex Maher and keyboardist/guitarist Mike Kenney — and Wesley is happy with the direction, calling it one of his best albums.

“It sounds like people are really digging it,” he said.

However, Wesley will get a true gauge this year, with a 20-city tour stopping at the Blue Grotto on June 4.

Kamloops fans can expect an extra guitar player this time around — Kenney, who also plays organ for the Vancouver Canucks — plenty of new material and “just a happy, fun show.”

Doors for the 19-plus show, at 319 Victoria St., open at 8 p.m., with the show starting at 9 p.m.

Tickets are $15 in advance and can be purchased online at danielwesley.com/tour.

Subsequent shows will be at Kelowna’s Habitat on June 5 and Vancouver’s Commodore Ballroom on June 6.

fter 17 games, the Kamloops Players Bench RiverDogs are among the top teams in the midget AAA B.C. Baseball

ranks.

Kamloops posted a 3-1 record in weekend action on the Lower Mainland, sweeping a twogame set against the Vancouver Community Mounties (14-6) on Saturday before splitting a doubleheader against the Richmond Chuckers (11-5) on Sunday.

“We’re stronger in areas than I thought we would be,” RiverDogs’ manager Sean Wandler told KTW. “With seven Grade 10s, 50 per cent of our team being first-year players, it’s always tough with such a big learning curve, but some

of these Grade 10s are exceeding expectations.

“It’s nice to be off to a great start.”

Bryant Jameus, Tobin Huffman and Hayden Bennett were the winning pitchers on the weekend for Kamloops, which moved its record to 12-5, good enough for third place in league standings.

Huffman threw a completegame shutout in a 5-0 win over Vancouver in Game 1 on Saturday.

“He was very efficient,” Wandler said. “Our defence played well and we capitalized on a couple Vancouver mistakes.”

In the second tilt of the twogame set, the RiverDogs escaped a bases-loaded jam in the first inning and strong performances at the plate from Conner McKenzie, Riley Jepson and Rhys McKenzie paced the visitors to a 7-1 victory.

The RiverDogs were able to

squeak out of another bleaklooking situation against Richmond in Game 1 on Sunday, when the Chuckers loaded the bases in the fourth inning but were unable to score a run.

Jameus was excellent on the mound, allowing only four hits in six innings of work in a 7-0 win.

In the second game, Richmond scored four runs in the first inning and Kamloops never recovered.

Jepson was the losing pitcher in a 6-4 triumph for the Chuckers.

“Because of that youth, we still are a little bit hit and miss,” Wandler said.

“I anticipate we still are going to have some up-and-down weekends.”

The Dogs will hit the road again this weekend for a pair of doubleheaders, playing Kelowna (5-8) on Saturday and West Kelowna (11-7) on Sunday.

James charged again Cassels showing well THE CANADIAN PRESS

SWIFT CURRENT, Sask. — Convicted pedophile and former junior hockey coach Graham James is facing more sex-related charges.

RCMP in Swift Current, Sask., say James is charged with sexual assault alleged to have occurred when he was coaching the Swift Current Broncos in the early 1990s.

The Mounties say they began an investigation after they received a complaint from a former player with the Western Hockey League

team in September 2013.

James, who is 62, served 3 1/2 years in federal prison for sex offences against Broncos hockey player Sheldon Kennedy and two others.

He is now serving a five-year sentence for sexually abusing retired NHLer Theoren Fleury when he played for the Moose Jaw Warriors.

A lawyer for James appeared this morning in Swift Current provincial court where a publication ban was ordered.

The case was put over to June 19.

Lebron playing through pain TOM WITHERS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio — LeBron James says he won’t allow his sore body to slow his drive toward another NBA final.

Beaten down by injuries and another gruelling season, James has the Cavaliers one win from the Eastern Conference title.

Yesterday, a day after his 37 points, 18 rebounds and 13 assists lifted Cleveland to a Game 3 overtime victory against Atlanta, James was noticeably tired.

He wore a wrap on his right calf and the four-time league MVP says he’s been undergoing “round-the-clock’’ treatment.

James returned to Cleveland after four

seasons with Miami and says leading the Cavs has been his biggest challenge.

The Cavs are without Kevin Love for the playoffs and have played the past two games without AllStar point guard Kyrie Irving.

Coach David Blatt says Irving remains a game-time decision for Game 4 tonight in Cleveland.

BILL BEACON

THE CANADIAN PRESS

QUEBEC — Vancouver Canucks draft pick Cole Cassels has been the man in the spotlight for the Oshawa Generals.

The versatile centre took most of the important faceoffs as the Generals beat the Quebecchampion Rimouski Oceanic and host Quebec Remparts in their opening two games at the Mastercard Memorial Cup. Perhaps the biggest so far came late in overtime against the Remparts. Cassels’ draw back to defenceman Stephen Desrocher for the winning goal gave Oshawa a 5-4 win in a game it dominated but was in danger of losing thanks to Zach Fucale’s brilliance in the Quebec net.

The two had combined on a similar goal in a 4-3 win over Rimouski.

“We knew Steve has a great shot and he gets it off quick,’’ Cassels said Monday. “It worked out twice for us.’’

The 20-year-old Cassels, a Canucks prospect whose father, Andrew, is a former NHL centre, is playing his best at the right time for the Generals.

Coach D.J. Smith has the luxury of having two faceoff aces, Cassels and Montreal Canadiens first-round pick Michael McCarron, and decides before each game which one to match against the opponent’s top centre.

“A lot of winning faceoffs is digging in and battling, and he battles all the way through the draw,’’ Smith said of the six-footone 190-pound Cassels.

His offensive numbers have climbed in each of his four OHL seasons, all with Oshawa.

This year he had 30 goals and 81 points in 54 games. Smith’s strong defensive game as well as being a right-hand shot has Smith seeing Cassels as a second-line NHL centre, third-line at worst.

Cassels isn’t looking that far ahead just yet.

“It’s a process to get to the NHL,’’ he said. “It’s a big step but, right now, I’m just focused on the Memorial Cup.’’ He is not the only General with a hockey father. Backup goalie Jeremy Brodeur’s father, Martin, is a three-time Stanley Cup champion and the NHL’s all-time leader in wins.

Defenceman Stephen Templeton

is the grandson of legendary OHL coach Bert Templeton.

Andrew Cassels, an OHL most valuable player with the Ottawa 67s, was a first-round pick

by Montreal in 1987 and also played in Hartford, where Cole was born, Calgary, Vancouver, Columbus and Washington.

In 16 NHL seasons, he had 204 goals and 732 points.

Cole Cassels was picked 85th overall by Vancouver in 2013.

He would do well to match his father, but for now just wants to finish his junior career with a bang.

“I would love to go out a champion,’’ he said.

Rockets back in action

The WHL champion Kelowna Rockets were looking to get into the win column against Rimouski yesterday after KTW’s press deadline.

In its first Memorial Cup game, Kelowna fell 4-3 to the host Quebec Remparts on Friday.

The Rockets’ final game of the four-team round-robin is tonight, when they will square off against Oshawa.

Game time is 4:30 p.m.

Y Obituaries & In Memoriam Z FRANK MITCHELL WALSH

MELODY JOHANNA MCEVOY

November 13, 1956 - May 18, 2015

September 18, 1945 – May 18, 2015

Frank Mitchell Walsh passed away on Monday at the age of 58 years old.

Frank is preceded in death by his father, Jim, and his mother, Mary. He is survived by his loving wife, Janet, and two children, Michael and Taylor. There are also many family and friends who live on and were close to Frank’s heart.

From early on in his life, Frank was a high energy individual who sought to soak up as much positive experience as he could. In his younger years, he enjoyed practicing the martial arts with the hopes that he could achieve Bruce Lee godhood if he trained hard enough. He also channeled this energy into skiing - where he took a year off to be a “ski bum” and enjoy the thrill of the outdoors.

Later in life his priorities changed, focusing more of himself on family, friends, and business.

He was a loving father and husband who found the most joy out of giving his family the World. Whether supporting education and artistic endeavors or a multitude of other passions through his insightful wisdom. He was always there to lend an ear for his family and friends. Providing life advice, career direction, business insight, or his opinion of the best movie and restaurant in town.

He was larger than life and would light up a room with his gregarious personality and giant smile. While enjoying having time to plan his next great business venture, more than anything he enjoyed being in the company of others. A sacred spot for him was Shuswap Lake where he loved barbecuing and hanging out on the boat. As well, he enjoyed sharing stories and laughs over a delicious meal, sitting in silence enjoying an epic movie, going for walks to share wisdom that had been passed down from his father, or hitting the golf course with Janet and friends.

He will be greatly missed by his family, friends, and those who knew him. But we all have peace knowing that he lived fully and ate as much chocolate cake as a person could eat.

The celebration of life was held Sunday, May 24th, 2015 at the Cavalry Temple at 3:00 pm.

Address: 1205 Rogers Way, Kamloops, B.C. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to The Heart and Stroke Foundation and Marjorie Willoughby Hospice House.

NEVER QUIT When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill When funds are low and debts are high And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing down a bit, Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.

Success is failure turned inside out – The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far, So, stick to the ght when you’re hardest hit – It’s when things seem worst that You must not quit!

Volkswagen’s driving experiences around the world include the vehicle — such as the Touareg SUV — fuel, food and transfers.

Taking a Touareg of the Sierra Nevada mountains ZACK SPENCER

DRIVEWAY CANADA

S

outhern Spain isn’t a place one gets to quickly, especially from the West Coast of Canada.

It involves driving across the Atlantic Ocean, arriving late in Frankfurt with only 40 minutes to connect to our flight to Malaga, resulting in a dash through the airport.

Slumping into my seat, sweaty and tired, I awoke a half hour before landing, looking out the window at the Sierra Nevada mountain range, the location of our off-road experience the following day.

Volkswagen has what it calls driving experiences in far-flung places like Spain, Morocco, Switzerland, Norway and Sweden.

It involves driving the Touareg SUV through spectacular scenery and experiencing the true capability of the vehicle.

Our two-day adventure was a

condensed version of the fourday experience the public can book.

The cost is 2,300 Euros ($3,115), which includes the vehicle, fuel, food and transfers for four days, not including airfare.

When you break it down by the day, it is good value and would be a wonderful side excursion for anyone already on holiday in one of the locations.

Our TDI clean diesel Touareg featured a leather interior and navigation, almost identical to our Canadian spec versions, with one difference.

This vehicle had an adjustable air suspension to raise or lower the vehicle depending on the road surface.

Since we don’t get this feature in Canada, off-road driving was as close to the ride height of the passive springs and shocks used in Canadians spec trucks.

For the first leg, we drove on the highway to the city of Granada, an hour away.

The group was excited to

visit the World Heritage Site of Alhambra (The Red Castle).

This stunning site dates back to roughly 800 BC, but the structure seen today has roots in the 14th century.

It has been used as a fortress and palace and several different religions have called it home.

The architecture is stunning from the inside, but even more fascinating from across the valley floor as we had dinner and watched the castle glow under the clear moonlit sky.

The next day was the business day, with 290 kilometres of off-road driving, making our way through the Sierra Nevada Mountains, back to Malaga.

The eight identically equipped Touareg SUVs were a sight travelling through villages and towns carved into the mountainside.

The forested area was similar to B.C. — even the pine trees looked similar to the ones found around Lillooet — and the dusty roads covered the once-clean SUVs in a matter of minutes.

Driving was slow.

It was not because of the Touareg, but because three TV crews tagged along for the adventure, including myself from Driving Television.

Having to stop and take video held the whole group up but it made for some stunning shots.

The Touareg TDI is perfect for the challenge or any average commute. The three-litre turbocharged engine has 240 h.p., but a whopping 406 lb.-ft. of torque.

Torque is what you need crawling over rocks and splashing through rivers, but it also makes driving the large five-passenger SUV a breeze, even in city situations.

On short highway stages, the TDI cruised effortlessly at over 120 km/h.

After a lunch break of traditional paella, the group headed out again into the canyons and rugged landscape, very similar to Utah, with carved cliffs.

The most memorable part was the smell of wild rosemary bushes

and wild jasmine filling the air — not just a hint, rather a wonderful aroma that occupied the entire valley floor.

As we pulled into Malaga 12 hours later, I came to appreciate the Touareg all over again.

This is a premium VW offering, starting at $53,965.

The TDI is the one to get — not that regular gasoline is a bad choice, rather the TDI diesel is a better choice.

The TDI version delivers amazing power and uses up to 25 per cent less fuel. It also has amazing resale value.

The 2015 model gets a slight facelift, so slight, in fact, I would have a hard time pointing out changes. This SUV, however, emphasizes features over flashiness.

Next time, Morocco sounds like fun . . .

True extent of sexual misconduct in military unknown: Whitecross STEPHANIE LEVITZ

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — There is no consensus about the extent to which sexual misconduct and harassment are occurring among Canada’s soldiers, says the commander in charge of the military’s response to a scathing report on the problem.

Maj. Gen. Christine Whitecross, who is spearheading the Canadian Forces effort to address the situation, said yesterday there’s no agreement among leaders, despite the report’s harsh depiction of the military’s highly sexualized culture.

“While there is a collective will to move the organization forward, there is little consensus as to the gravity of the existing problem,’’ Whitecross told a House of Commons committee.

In her report released earlier this month, former Supreme Court justice Marie Deschamps documented a sexualized culture so pervasive that soldiers eventually become desensitized, while victims encountered a chain of command that seemed to turn a blind eye to real problems within its ranks.

Whitecross has held 16 briefing sessions on half a dozen Canadian Forces bases so far.

Commanders are committed to action, she said.

“They all want to be engaged in setting the conditions for a better trust in the chain of command . . . that, fundamentally, is the biggest thing we’re hearing.’’

The military had sought to defuse the bombshell of Deschamps’s work by presenting its plan to address her 10 recommendations at the same time the report was released.

They only agreed with two of her recommendations outright, committing to the rest only in principle — including that there be an independent centre to handle sexual abuse and misconduct claims.

Last week, Deschamps told the committee that the centre is only one prong of the approach.

“The centre is one of the elements of the puzzle of the whole strategy to reinstate the confidence in the organization because the victims will know that if they seek support they will not suffer any negative consequences,’’ she said.

“But the change of the culture requires much more

than the centre.’’

In the aftermath of the report’s release, there had been suggestions the military wasn’t taking the idea seriously, with senior leadership saying only they would study it.

Defence Minister Jason Kenney, however, has insisted in the House of Commons that all 10 of the report’s recommendations would be implemented.

He has also promised a victims’ bill of rights for the Canadian Forces which would, among other things, strengthen the procedural rights of victims of sexual aggression.

Whitecross said there’s been no final decision on whether a centre would be created, but told the committee she’s already met with U.S. and Australian military officials, who have such offices set up and will also speak with French authorities.

“I like the victim supportcentric approach that they both have, because fundamentally they are looking at the needs of the victims first and foremost.’’

Whitecross has committed to published a report by this fall updating the public on the status of the military’s response to the Deschamps report.

Wildfire forces about 2,000 people from homes in northern Alberta THE CANADIAN PRESS

WABASCA, Alta. — A wildfire has forced about 2,000 people from their homes in northern Alberta.

Cyndi Taron, director of emergency management with the Municipal District of Opportunity, said a state of emergency was put in place Sunday night for the area, 330 kilometres north of Edmonton.

About 1,000 residents of the hamlet of Wabasca and another 1,000 people from the surrounding Bigstone Cree Nation checked into reception centres in Calling Lake and Athabasca, she said.

Others were staying with friends or gone elsewhere with campers and tents.

Mounties were

going door-to-door in the communities and talked with some people who didn’t want to leave, she added.

“It’s mandatory but the RCMP do not have the authority to start dragging people out of their homes at this point,’’ Taron said yesterday.

The out-of-control blaze first prompted an order to leave on Saturday, but residents were allowed to return that evening after it was contained.

They were forced out again Sunday afternoon when wind pushed the flames past a fireguard.

“It just goes to show you how warm and dry it is out there,’’ said wildfire information officer Geoffrey Driscoll.

He said the fire,

A27

about two square kilometres or the size of 100 Canadian football fields, was one of 29 fires burning in the province yesterday.

Another blaze near Cold Lake caused Cenovus Energy and Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. to pull about 2,000 workers and shut down their oilsands operations Saturday.

The closures have resulted in lost production of about 233,000 barrels of oil a day — roughly a 10 per cent loss of the province’s daily production of oilsands crude.

A small airplane used for fire suppression crashed while fighting that fire on Friday, killing a civilian pilot.

Weather hampered efforts to get to the

site and the body of 38-year-old William Alexander Garvie Hilts of Cranbrook, B.C. was recovered Monday.

The government also issued a provincewide fire ban yesterday because of hot and dry weather conditions.

Wildfire hazards were listed as high to extreme across most of the province.

The government said it’s the first full ban since 2011, when fire destroyed about one-third of the town of Slave Lake.

“Our firefighters are starting to reach capacity,’’ said Driscoll.

About 300 crew members are battling fires and an additional 1,000, including firefighters from Ontario, are ready to be called in to help.
