Ajax gets new project manager

Speedboat crashed into houseboat, killing operator

CROWN WANTS SENTENCE OF UP TO 42 MONTHS

ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

KGHM Ajax has shuffled its management chairs and has a new CEO and a new project manager. Jan Piesert is the incoming CEO, while Chris Wild succeeds Clyde Gillespie as project manager. Wild told KTW the company has decided to go in a new direction as it continues to seek environmental certification from the provincial and federal governments, prompting Gillespie’s exit on Tuesday. Wild, who previously served as site manager and chief geologist for Ajax, said his priorities will be responding to thousands of public comments on the project, which have delayed the mine’s 180-day provincial review, and convincing the public the copper and gold mine is viable. “The industry by nature is cyclical and we want to make sure people understand the prices we have right now for the commodities we produce, mainly copper, they’re at lows that present challenges to the project,” he said.

A hunter who believed he was taking aim at a wolf, but instead mistakenly killed two family dogs with a single shot, has been granted a conditional discharge in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops. On the eve of what was scheduled to be a jury trial, Richard Benton pleaded guilty under the Criminal Code to killing an ani-

mal without lawful excuse. The Crown dropped a second charge of causing unnecessary pain and suffering to an animal. Justice Frank Cole called Benton, 48, “an individual of good character who has made a terrible mistake.” But the sentencing judge also said any principled hunter has a duty toward animals. “Why would he let a dog die and suffer for so many hours? That’s what bothers me . . . It

doesn’t matter if it’s a wolf — it’s an animal,” Cole said. Crown prosecutor Alexandra Janse asked for a six-month conditional sentence with house arrest. But Justice Cole sided with defence lawyer Micah Rankin, who argued for a conditional discharge that will leave Benton without a criminal record if he completes a 12-month period of probation without incident. See MR. BENTON, A4

A Crown prosecutor asked a B.C. Supreme Court judge yesterday for a prison sentence of up to threeand-a-half years for a man convicted of recklessly driving his speedboat into a houseboat on Shuswap Lake, leaving one person dead. Last fall, Leon Reinbrecht, 54, was found guilty of criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm. His sentencing is taking place now because defence lawyers unsuccessfully launched a Charter argument post-conviction, asking that the case be thrown out due to delay. On July 3, 2010, following a fireworks display on Magna Bay, Reinbrecht drove his speedboat recklessly on Shuswap Lake, colliding nearly head-on with a houseboat piloted by Ken Brown. Brown died at the scene. A number of passengers on both boats suffered less serious injuries. Following a lengthy trial last year, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sheri Donegan found Reinbrecht acted with “reckless disregard for the lives and safety of others.” Court heard he was out for a night-time joyride with his son and his son’s girlfriend and was driving in donuts and at a high rate of speed. The lake was busy due to the fireworks show that had recently wrapped up and court heard it was a very dark night with little if any moonlight. In his sentencing submissions yesterday, Crown prosecutor Neil Flanagan asked Donegan for a sentence reflective of that reckless disregard given the risks of driving dangerously at night on a busy lake.

AIR-CONDITIONING UNIT CAUSE OF FIRE

A Kamloops Fire Rescue investigator photographs the scene of an apartment fire on the North Shore yesterday morning.

Elizabeth Fry Society has pledged to find lodging for a family burned out of its unit at a North Shore apartment fire early yesterday morning. The fire call went out at 2 a.m. The blaze began in a second-floor unit, but caused extensive damage to the apartment above, located at 873 Westminster Ave. in North Kamloops. Elizabeth Fry operates the six-unit building. A representative, who said she could not be quoted because she does not have authorization from the board, said tenants affected by the fire will be helped. Ray Webster, an investigator with Kamloops Fire and Rescue, determined a small air-conditioning unit located in the wall of the building was the cause of the blaze. “The fire went up to the third floor and did most of the damage,” he said. Webster said there is some smoke contamination to the second-floor apartment where the fire began, but otherwise damage is minimal. The upper floor, however, is uninhabitable.

Councillors sticking to wine-sales decision DESPITE BACKLASH, THERE IS NO PLAN TO UNCORK BAN ON SELLING B.C. VINO ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops city councillors say they aren’t interested in revisiting a decision to ban SaveOn-Foods from selling B.C. wine on the shelves in its Sahali store. Several councillors who opposed the move to bring wine into grocery stores told KTW they believe their decision was correct, despite criticism from the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce, a counter-petition with more than 1,000 signatures and numerous emails from private citizens on the subject. Coun. Denis Walsh said emails on the wine issue may have outnumbered those he received last summer when council was mulling a pesticide ban. “It’s actually worrisome to me that people get so excited when we have a huge open-pit mine coming in which could affect our health and lifestyles,” he said. Walsh said he feels voting against a variance that would have allowed the grocery chain to sell wines within one kilometre of existing liquor stores was still the best choice. Coun. Donovan Cavers agrees, pointing to concerns grocery store sales could lead to “impulse buying” of alcohol and an increase in addictions issues.

We’d like to see a situation where there’s a free, open “market, the same way we would see in most markets, where we’re not restricting businesses.”

— RYAN SCORGIE, president, Kamloops Chamber of Commerce

“I’ve seen a lot of reasons to support it and I’ve seen a lot more reasons not to,” he said. The Chamber this week released results of a poll of its membership showing most are against council’s decision on wine sales in SaveOn-Foods. Of the 200 members who responded to the poll, 90 per cent said they disagree with council’s decision. President Ryan Scorgie said it’s a high rate of response for the chamber, which has about 800 members. “We were a little bit surprised by the number of responses and how quickly they came in,” he said. “Obviously, the business community feels very strongly about this issue.” Scorgie said the results show Chamber members don’t want city hall deciding how business should be run in Kamloops. “We’d like to see a situation where there’s a free, open market, the same way we would see in most markets, where we’re not restricting businesses,” he said. “We have provincial legisla-

tion and council is taking it upon themselves to change it.” Coun. Tina Lange said she expects Save-OnFoods parent company Overwaitea Food Group will appeal council’s decision, bringing the wine issue back to city hall. Should that happen, Lange said, she’d like to see stricter language about what the store would sell. While Save-On has a VQA license, which only allows the sale of specific B.C. wines regulated by the British Columbia Wine Authority, she noted the variance council voted on had broader limits, allowing the sale of any B.C. wines as well as sake, mead and ciders make with B.C. products. During public submissions, Save-On staff said they intended to sell only VQA wines. “I didn’t trust the process to tell you the truth,” Lange said. “I kept thinking, why are they asking for something they say they’re not going to use?” But, even with the change, Lange said she isn’t sure she would change her mind.

Wolf Pack fighting for control of city’s drug trade TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Lower Mainland-based coalition of gangsters appears to be attempting to establish itself in Kamloops. According to police, recent investigations have led them to believe the Wolf Pack, a coalition of members of the Hells Angels, Independent Soldiers and Red Scorpions, is at work in Kamloops.

RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said the Wolf Pack is using violence to establish a foothold in the Kamloops drug market. “Police have confirmed that the Wolf Pack is an organized crime group originating in the Lower Mainland area that has established a faction in Kamloops, bringing illicit drugs, firearms and violence with them,” she said. According to Shelkie, recent Kamloops investigations led to a recent raid of a house in Surrey, resulting in

the seizure of drugs and “a cache of weapons.” Among the drugs seized, Shelkie said, were several hundred manufactured pills, including Oxycodone and what appears to be fentanyl, four ounces of cocaine and approximately seven pounds of marijuana. In addition, she said, police found a long rifle and $25,000 in cash. Michael Alexander Ross, 27, was arrested at the Surrey residence. He has been charged with three counts of pos-

session for the purpose of trafficking and one firearms charge. Shelkie said Kamloops Mounties will continue to investigate the Wolf Pack. Under former RCMP Supt. Yves Lacasse, Kamloops police were reluctant to admit gangs were at work in the Tournament Capital. Supt. Brad Mueller, however, has admitted on multiple occasions that organized crime is involved in the local drug trade.

‘Mr. Benton made a mistake and panicked’ From A1

Benton has no criminal record, has a long work history as a floor layer and is well respected in the local community, Rankin said. He has property at Knouff Lake and has frequented the area since he was a child. The shooting occurred in December 2013 on Knouff Lake Road in Heffley Creek, a small community between Kamloops and Sun Peaks. Benton, a lifelong hunter, was permitted to shoot a wolf. The statement of facts said wolves were known to be in the area and preyed on wildlife and domestic animals. Benton pulled his truck over and took aim at what he thought was a wolf. “Mr. Benton made a mistake and panicked,” said Rankin, suggesting Benton soon realized he had killed a dog and fled the scene. Benton had a responsibility to identify the animal he shot

English mastiff Ryker was one of two dogs shot and killed in Heffley Creek in December 2013.

and ensure it was not suffering, according to hunting laws. In fact, three-year-old Labrador retriever-cross Phylo was seriously wounded and died some time later from the bullet. The second dog, an eight-month-old English mastiff named Ryker, was also struck. It was found by owners Michael and

Brenda Griffiths a day later and was put down due to its grievous injuries. “This had a very significant affect on the family,” Janse said. “These dogs were beloved family members.” Nearly 7,000 people signed a petition asking for the maximum sentence for Benton. Rankin said Benton received tough justice in the court of public opinion when the incident received significant media attention. Benton is a hunting advocate who first took up the sport as a child of five. He is not allowed to possess firearms during the year of probation and must also pay $825 in restitution for veterinary bills. Calling it “more of a regulatory offence,” Rankin argued the conditional discharge is appropriate because Benton’s actions do not deserve a criminal record. Receiving one would jeopardize his ability to be bonded for his work.

A history of impaired driving “Did he think to himself, ‘Oh what the hell, I’m going to do this anyway — I’m having so much fun’?” Flanagan said. “Or did he not, at least sufficiently, turn his mind toward these risks?” Flanagan asked Donegan to hand down a sentence that fits Reinbrecht’s crime. “In cases of this nature, the two primary objectives of a sentence are to first of all denounce the criminal conduct and secondly to deter others from engaging in the same sort of conduct that, in this case, has caused such a great deal of harm,” he said. “We, and I refer to all Canadian citizens, need to take care that we don’t cause harm to others.” Court heard Reinbrecht has a criminal record including

three convictions for impaired driving, most recently in 2000. At trial, a Crown witness — one of the passengers on the speedboat — said Reinbrecht had been drinking and smoking marijuana prior to the crash. “It is troubling,” Flanagan said of Reinbrecht’s history of driving drunk. “It does not cast Mr. Reinbrecht in the most favourable light.” Flanagan said all of the factors should result in a prison sentence in the range of twoand-a-half to three-and-a-half years, to be followed by a fiveyear ban on operating a boat. Defence lawyer Joe Doyle, on the other hand, pitched a two-year prison sentence for Reinbrecht. Any sentence of two years or longer is served in a federal prison. Doyle described such facilities as intimidating for

people who are not hardened criminals. “The length of that term is less important than the fact of that term,” he said. “If someone is going to engage in conduct that is criminal, they will be as deterred by a two-year sentence if they are someone who is otherwise law-abiding as they will by a three-and-a-half-year sentence.” Reinbrecht, who has not said a word in court other than to declare he was not guilty, responded to a question as to whether he had anything to say. “I believe Mr. Doyle has already spoke about everything I could possibly say,” Reinbrecht said. Donegan is expected to deliver a sentence today at 2 p.m.

Mine decision in late 2016 or early 2017 From A1

“But, going forward, we know the prices will cycle up and we’ll be in an excellent situation to take advantage of that,” Wild said. The change at the top comes after KGHM laid off seven employees last week. Wild said the layoffs aren’t a sign the company is any less committed to developing the mine south of Aberdeen. “There’s absolutely no trouble,” he said. “This is a consolidation of the team to get through that next phase. We’ve gone through that public-

consultation phase, we’re now putting together the responses. We’re in a very good position with the team that we’ve got left.” Wild said responses to community submissions are mostly complete, but must be internally reviewed and organized in a way that meets guidelines from B.C.’s Environmental Assessment Office. He expects the clock to resume in fall, with a decision on the project coming in late 2016 or early 2017. Peisert, who replaces former CEO Marcin Mostowy, also now heads up KGHM International Ltd., and is based in Vancouver.

TRU set to be home to high school DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops-Thompson school district is “a bit concerned” about a new initiative at Thompson Rivers University, according to Supt. Karl deBruijn. The university has signed an agreement with China Maple Leaf Education Systems (CMLES) to build within three to five years a private boarding school for high-school students on TRU campus, the first of its kind in Canada. Before that, however, CMLES will rent classroom space at the university. The 60 students who will arrive from China for high-school classes in September will mainly be living with host families in Kamloops. That is what worries deBruijn because there are more than 120 international students enrolled in the school district, in addition to Kamloops Blazers players who all require homestay options. DeBruijn said the demand may outstrip supply. “Homestay is a huge part of our program,” deBruijn said, adding the school district will have to work to make good contact with homestay options.

He said the district was advised a few weeks ago about the new agreement between TRU and China Maple Leaf Education Systems. CMLES is China’s largest private school system and Canada’s first and largest offshore school system. It was certified by the B.C. Ministry of Education in 1998. TRU finance vice-president Matt Milovick said Maple Leaf has been a long-time partner with TRU. The two have agreed to create a private boarding school on campus for up to 60 students who will study a dual B.C./China curriculum for grades 10 through 12. The immediate plan is to see the CMLES rent three classrooms in TRU’s Old Main Building as a pilot project and then expand to lease land through the TRU Community Trust, which is charged with developing the university village concept. Those students will largely be housed in homestay situations, said TRU World CEO Baihua Chadwick, but some may opt find their own accommodations. While there will be some revenue generated through the pilot — classroom rental and provision of IT, food and other services — the larger revenue will come from the school when it is built on leased land at TRU.

20 YEARS OF

DREAMING

It’s at that point, deBruijn said, when the anticipated strain on homestay options will lessen, he hopes. The goal is to see the school built within three to five years. In a press release, TRU president Alan Shaver said more than 65 per cent of CMLES graduates choose Canadian post-secondary schools and he anticipates many of those who study at the new facility will opt for Thompson Rivers. TRU World CEO Baihua Chadwick said she anticipates Canadian families will also apply to the school, which she sees as a benefit for Kamloops, bringing families, professionals and other Canadian students to the city and campus. A second agreement with Maple Leaf will see 20 graduates of the Chinese system come to TRU to study for a bachelor of science degree, a four-year program, and then a oneyear bachelor of education degree. Those students will be like any other international student coming to the university. They will pay tuition to TRU, can live where they wish, but have the guarantee of a job with Maple Leaf in China if they successfully complete the two degrees. When they return, they will teach math or science.

RENTAL DEBATE RAGES ON

here are so many layers to the debate about private vacation home rentals, there doesn’t seem to be one easy answer. Many jurisdictions are considering — or being asked to consider — the creation of bylaws that would put some kind of order to what’s currently without regulation. The first consideration should be safety. Are there legitimate concerns about the safety of places being rented to visitors through unregulated means? Fire extinguishers? Safe balconies and railings? Places like hotels and resorts must follow strict codes in relation to these issues, for good reason. That stated, if you want to rent your suite or house to visitors and your home insurance company is aware of what you are doing, isn’t that coverage enough? Other concerns include traffic and noise. Bed and breakfasts, hotels and resorts generally fall into a certain category of municipal zoning. If your neighbour is renting his house out for a month to a group of eight golfing buddies who like to drink until 2 a.m., barbecue at all hours and park their cars in front of your house, that’s not likely the neighbourhood rules you thought you were getting when you bought your house. The hotel industry would have some valid arguments. They follow strict regulations and pay taxes and fees that are above and beyond what the rent-my-suite-on-the-Internet crowd has to pay. Meanwhile, these so-called illegal rentals cut into the hotels’ bottom lines by taking away potential room stays. All in all, it’s a complicated issue. We have a difficult time supporting any more red tape and regulation in our society, but we look forward to the debate. — Parksville Qualicum Beach News

Whoa, Canada

ow many of you know the Canadian national anthem has four verses? Having this knowledge is key to this column, so herewith are the full lyrics to O Canada: “O Canada! Our home and native land! True patriot love in all thy sons command. With glowing hearts we see thee rise, The True North strong and free! From far and wide, O Canada, We stand on guard for thee. God keep our land, glorious and free! O Canada, we stand on guard for thee; O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. “O Canada! Where pines and maples grow, Great prairies spread and Lordly rivers flow! How dear to us thy broad domain, From East to Western sea! The land of hope for all who toil, The true North strong and free! God keep our land, glorious and free. O Canada, we stand on guard for thee! O Canada, we stand on guard for thee! “O Canada! Beneath thy shining skies, May Stalwart sons, and gentle maidens rise. To keep thee steadfast thro’ the years, From East to Western sea. Our own beloved native land, Our true North strong and free! God keep our land, glorious and free. O Canada, we stand on guard for thee! O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!” “Ruler supreme, who hearest humble prayer, Hold our Dominion, in thy loving care. Help us to find, O God, in

DALE BASS

Street

LEVEL thee, A lasting rich reward. As waiting for the better day, We ever stand on guard. God keep our land, glorious and free. O Canada, we stand on guard for thee! O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!” So, now that you’ve read all four verses, here’s the point. The House of Commons is debating a private members’ bill to change “in all they sons command” to “in all of us command.” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has made it clear he wants this bill passed before its proponent, Ottawa MP Mauril Belanger dies from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The goal is to make the line gender-neutral, but I wonder about the inclusion of god throughout and if that should be changed as well to reflect those Canadians who don’t believe in that concept. Or how about the words “gentle maidens,” which I find much more offensive than “thy sons.” It’s interesting to note the

original lyrics were written in French only for the 1880 SaintJean-Baptiste Day in Quebec which, for those who know your history, is a holiday unique to that province. The English lyrics came in 1906 and god wasn’t referenced in them. In fact, the lyrics Belanger wants changed were originally “those dost in us command,” changed to the “sons” reference six years later. The lyrics have been the focus of potential change through their history. In 1990, a Toronto councillor said “native land” was inappropriate because many Canadians are not nativeborn. It’s fair to say most of us could find something we might feel is offensive if we considered all the words, so to focus on Belanger’s bill seems to be nothing more than a reaction to the upcoming death of a popular MP. I’m not sure that’s something our new Liberal government should be spending time debating, given the more important issues facing it, such as trying to meet the Supreme Court of Canada deadline on legislation for assisted dying or dealing with the odious Bill C-51. It’s sad Belanger has this terminal disease and it’s obvious his party wants his final days to be as happy as they can be. But that doesn’t seem to be a good reason to change the national anthem. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

mental disconnect between what we all know about our reality on Earth and sitting in an idling car, burning a fossil fuel, that is baffling. Even the most reluctant among us can’t deny the exponential effects of climate change, the decline of the age of fossil fuels and the surge of renewable energy and high-storage battery technologies. I get it — we’re in transition. I drive a gas-powered car and alternatives aren’t yet widely available and affordable. The changes are happening fast, though. We live in one of the last geographical bastions of fuel-wasting. If you aren’t part of the solution, you’re part of the problem. Katie Welch Kamloops

OUR THANKS TO MANY Editor: On Monday, May 16, at approximately 2:30 p.m., me, my husband and our son were involved in a motor-vehicle accident just outside of Kamloops as we headed toward Cache Creek.

Many of these people were from Kamloops. While we weren’t able to remember all their names, we will never forget their faces and would like to find a way to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation for their kindness and care. God bless them all. Big thanks also to the Kamloops RCMP, BC Ambulance Service (BCAS), Logan Lake BCAS and Kamloops Fire Rescue. You all went above and beyond and we are truly thankful.

No mental-disorder bid CHRISTOPHER BUTLER KILLED EX-GIRLFRIEND IN 2014 TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops killer has abandoned his application to be found not criminally responsible for the 2014 beating death of his ex-girlfriend. Christopher Butler has already admitted in court that he killed his ex, Deanne Wheeler, inside his Cherry Avenue apartment in North Kamloops on Dec. 30, 2014. During a brief hearing on Tuesday, defence lawyer Micah Rankin said his client is no longer pursuing a not criminally responsible by way of a mental

Checking in at the Urban Systems Bike to Work station for healthy snacks are Ecole collines d’or students Ruby Dinn (far left), Gavin Smith, Charlotte Smith and Babrielle Dinn. The pair of siblings rode their bikes after school with Trevor Dinn (top centre) from Oak Hills in Westsyde to downtown, dropping by the bike station manned by Urban Systems staff Mike Erickson and Therese Zulinick.

disorder (NCRMD) label. Butler will instead be sentenced in July. Having pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, the 41-year-old will automatically receive a sentence of life in prison. The Crown will seek a term of 12 to 14 years behind bars before parole, while Rankin said he plans to recommend something closer to 12 years. From the time of his arrest, Butler has maintained his guilt to justice officials. He had also refused legal assistance and represented himself until last year. After his arrest, Butler told police Wheeler, 26, was “a demon.” He admitted to strangling her with an electrical cord,

hitting her in the head with a rock and stabbing her seven times. “When it entered my apartment, I set down the coffee it had brought,” Butler told police, referring to Wheeler as a demon. “We went forward into the living room. It turned around and said, ‘You will no longer call me Satan,’ and its eyes went huge and black. . . . I feared for my life and said, ‘Die, demon, die.’” Court has heard Butler was acting jealous and displaying stalking behaviour toward Wheeler prior to her death. Butler is slated to return to court for sentencing on July 11.

Rezoning bid for rental units Another major rental development could be coming to Sahali. At its meeting on Tuesday, Kamloops city council agreed to hold a public hearing to rezone 1430 Summit Dr. to allow for construction of a 110unit rental apartment building.

The four-storey building would include underground parking and would consist mainly of one- and twobedroom units. The development, being proposed by Kelson Investments Ltd., would replace the existing Sports Central

Lounge and liquor store. The building at the corner of Summit Drive and Springhill Drive has in the past been home to a fitness club and The Keg restaurant. If approved, it will be the second rental project built in the area in recent years, follow-

ing the nearby Summit Village on Summit Drive. Kelson purchased the 1.12-hectare (2.76-acre) property earlier this year. It is now zoned C-8 (neighbourhood pub commercial) and has an assessed value of $1.79 million.

Retirements should negate SD73 layoffs With at least 29 teachers opting to retire at the end of this school year, Kamloops-Thompson school district Supt. Karl deBruijn is optimistic there will be jobs for all existing teachers for the upcoming school year. Earlier, layoff notices were issued to 15 full-time equivalent teaching positions and others were declared surplus. DeBruijn said some of the surplus designations have been rescinded and, if the anticipated retirements proceed, combined with money received through the province’s learning improvement fund, noted

“there should be a job for everyone.” He said some of the teaching positions might not be what people want — and they have the option to refuse — “but the jobs will be there, I expect.” The learning improvement fund was created to create a pool of money districts can use to hire teachers and special-education assistants to meet complex composition needs in classrooms. It does not guarantee ongoing jobs, however, as classroom compositions, sizes and complex needs change annually.

GAS LEAK CLOSES NOTRE DAME Notre Dame Drive from Laval Crescent to Dalhousie Drive was closed for much of the workday on Tuesday due to a gas leak.

The gas leak occurred as crews continue to work on the $650,000 resurfacing project on Notre Dame from Columbia Street to Hillside Drive. The project will continue into the summer.

MORTGAGE MATTERS The Annual Mortgage Check-up For many Canadians, a mortgage is a once-every-five-year-chore. Fears about rates, costs and changes make this as enjoyable as paying taxes. However, a mortgage should be a tool to help you reach your goals, and that means planning.

Proposed access road rejected ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A plan to build an access road through a popular Barnhartvale hiking area has been rejected by the provincial government. Gravel pit owner Ron Hunter had hoped to build a road across a piece of Crown land to connect his pit to McLeod Drive. But recreation enthusiasts and residents in the neighbourhood objected, arguing the surrounding roads can’t handle the increased traffic and the trails

should be preserved for future use. The City of Kamloops also objected to the access, arguing McLeod is a residential road unfit for trucking. The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources appears to agree with those concerns. In its decision against the proposed road, ministerial staff note “strong opposition” from nearby residents as one of the main reasons for the rejection. “Residents along the proposed new access in

Barnhartvale cited safety concerns, loss of recreational opportunity, reduction in property value and loss of green space,” the decision states. The ministry also noted there is an existing route to the pit and encouraged Hunter to work with landowners along that road to ensure he can continue to access the property. Dorte Helin, an Uplands Drive resident who opposed the road, said she and her neighbours are celebrating the decision. “We are ecstatic,” she said.

Do you need a different mortgage strategy? Are you starting or growing a family, starting a business, experiencing loss or interruption of income, planning home renovations, purchasing investment property or facing other major expenditures? A mortgage review can assess if your current mortgage’s interest rate, payments and options will help reach your goals. Low interest rates make it a good time for homeowners to give their mortgage a second look. Here are some common reasons to revisit your mortgage: •Paying down your mortgage faster: If you receive extra cash like an inheritance, tax refund or a work bonus, think about putting it toward your mortgage. For example, paying an extra $3,000 once every year toward the principal on a $250,000 mortgage can result in interest savings of $42,442 over the life of the mortgage, assuming a 25-year amortization and a fixed rate of 4.19%. •Lowering monthly payments: Renegotiating for a lower interest rate or higher amortization can protect your finances from unforeseen expenses, reduced income, and allow you to save up a rainy day fund. •Debt consolidation: Boost your cash flow or pay down your debt faster by taking high interest debt like a credit card balance and consolidating it into your mortgage. Your debt moves from multiple high payments, into one lower mortgage payment. Most lenders allow extra payments of 20% per year, so pay more when you have more! •Securing a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC): A HELOC can help you access lower-cost funds for investing, such as topping up your RRSP or TFSA contribution. It can also help you pay for home improvement projects or just be available for peace of mind. •Improving credit: A mortgage professional can discuss any credit concerns or issues and coach you on how to improve your credit score. Good credit advice can help you work toward cheaper future borrowing costs and better mortgage options. •Identifying concerns: Mortgages are supposed to work for you. If you are unsure about specific mortgage functions or benefits, an annual check-up can be a great time to discuss concerns, learn how to set up extra payments, change your payment date and more. In the end, a yearly mortgage checkup could reveal that the best course of action is no change at all…there is satisfaction in knowing that as well! Whether you are a first-time homebuyer, up for renewal or refinancing, there are many unique and competitive products available on the market today.

UN wants Canada to accept Colombia refugees STEPHANIE LEVITZ

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — As Canada continues to settle thousands of Syrian refugees, the UN’s refugee agency is hopeful Canada will renew its commitment to another population — Colombians. More than 17,000 Colombian refugees have arrived in Canada in the past 10 years, seeking a safe haven from the five decades of war in that country. The agreement between Canada and the UN to resettle 900 Colombians now in Ecuador expires at the end of his year. The UN refugee agency’s acting repre-

sentative for Colombia said a new agreement would make sense, since helping vulnerable Colombians is key to that country’s peace process. Martin Gottwald is in Canada this week to brief those who decide asylum claims on the state of peace talks in Colombia. He said the situation for the millions of displaced people and refugees remains precarious even with those talks and finding solutions for them remains a priority. The Colombian government is negotiating to end more than 50 years of conflict with armed guerilla groups, the largest of which is the Revolutionary Armed

Forces of Colombia, or FARC. The ongoing battles have seen 6.7-million displaced inside the country and about 360,000 recognized refugees are living mostly in surrounding countries. Until 2011, the Canadian government allowed Colombians to request asylum in Canada while still living in Colombia. But that program has ended, shifting the majority of refugee resettlement to either the private sector or through direct negotiations between Canada and the UN’s refugee agency. Gottwald said it is not his job to negotiate a new resettlement deal with Canada, a

“It would make sense, because finding solutions for Colombian refugees will be a huge contribution to the peace process,’’ Gottwald said. “If more slots were to open up, that would certainly help a lot.’’ Canada is seeking to resettle nearly 60,000 refugees this year, a historic figure due to the commitment to bring more than 25,000 Syrians to Canada. Pushing the total higher will allow more room for refugees from everywhere, the department said in its 2016 immigration levels plan, though whether that will mean more Colombians remains

to be seen. A spokesperson for Immigration Minister John McCallum was unavailable for comment. In addition to Colombians settled directly from abroad, more than 700 Colombians made their own way to Canada and sought asylum in Canada last year, according to government statistics, up 21 per cent from the year before. It is the people who make the decisions on those claims that Gottwald is in Canada to brief, as he seeks to remind them that the peace talks are only the start of a long process and violence has been escalating in Colombia in

recent weeks. Gottwald said the enormity of the Syrian refugee crisis — more than four-million people have fled that country — can often dwarf the realities facing refugees in other parts of the world. But if there’s a silver lining in Colombia, he said, it’s that the conflict is at least inching towards resolution. “It’s now or never that we can do something for Colombia and giving solutions to refugees and [internally displaced people] is one way,’’ he said. “We can show the world, yes, it’s still possible to put an end to conflicts.’’

Ottawa urged to do more to cool markets ALEXANDRA POSADZKI

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) says Ottawa needs to introduce new measures to reduce some of the risk associated with soaring home prices and household debt levels in Toronto and Vancouver. In a report issued yesterday, the OECD said the possibility of a housing market correction, particularly in those two markets, could threaten the country’s financial stability.

It’s not the first time the OECD has called for measures to cool sky-high house prices in Toronto and Vancouver, which together comprise a third of the country’s real estate market. The organization made similar comments in its report last December. Since then, Finance Minister Bill Morneau has increased the minimum down payment for homes over $500,000, a measure aimed specifically at the red-hot Toronto and Vancouver markets. As of February, homebuyers must put down 10 per cent on the portion of a home over $500,000.

Buyers can still put down five per cent on the first $500,000 of a home purchase. The previous Conservative government tightened rules for new insurable mortgage loans four times between 2008 and 2012, including reducing the maximum amortization period to 25 years from 40 years in several stages. However, CIBC deputy chief economist Benjamin Tal said all of the changes have done little to take the steam out of the country’s hottest markets. “Obviously, it’s not helping, especially not in Toronto and

According to CREA’s figures for April, home prices were up more than 25 per cent year over year in Greater Vancouver and more than 12 per cent in Greater Toronto. Tal said federal changes are doing little to slow price growth in Toronto and Vancouver because the rules only affect a small segment of the market. “Most of the changes were made to the insured segment of the market, but a lot of the activity that is happening, especially over $1 million, is in the noninsured segment of the market.”

NOTORIOUS PEDOPHILE GETS 5.5-YEAR SENTENCE

Charge will stand VANCOUVER — The leader of a fundamentalist religious community has lost his attempt to have a polygamy charge filed against him derailed at the B.C. Court of Appeal. Winston Blackmore’s lawyers wanted the appointment of a third special prosecutor in the case quashed, arguing that the first special prosecutor’s decision against laying charges should stand. But lawyers for the government argued reopening the case was justified, WINSTON BLACKMORE saying police collected new evidence and the B.C. Supreme Court confirmed in a constitutional case that polygamy is against the law. Blackmore, one of the leaders of the fundamentalist religious sect in Bountiful, is accused of one count of polygamy for allegedly having two dozen wives. In a unanimous decision released yesterday by the appeal court panel, Justice David Frankel wrote there was a change in circumstances, leaving the assistant deputy attorney general to decide that it is in the public interest to appoint another prosecutor.

Vancouver,’’ Tal said. Following the introduction of Morneau’s new downpayment rules, sales activity in Toronto and Vancouver declined in March compared with the previous month, according to statistics from the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA). And the following month, sales in Vancouver were virtually flat on a month-to-month basis, while sales activity in Toronto climbed a relatively modest 3.2 per cent. However, prices in both markets have continued to climb.

PASSING ON GOOD LUCK

The 2305 Royal Canadian Army Cadets held their 68th annual ceremonial review Sunday at the J.R. Vicars Armoury, with Lt.-Gov. Guichon (left) the reviewing officer. The cadets presented Guichon with a cowboy hat and hat stand made of a horseshoe.

NEW WESTMINSTER — A pedophile who digitally disguised his face in child pornography will spend longer in prison than recommended by the Crown after a B.C. judge noted Christopher Neil repeatedly harmed his victims by posting their images online. Neil, 41, was sentenced yesterday to five-and-a-half years after pleading guilty to five child-sex crimes that occurred over a 10-year period in Cambodia, Vancouver and Maple Ridge, B.C. The Crown had recommended a five-year sentence. When time served is taken into account, Neil must serve just over 14 more months. Justice John Harvey of the B.C. Supreme Court said the two boys shown in the images were victimized when photos were taken and when those images were posted on the Internet. “Mr. Neil himself was a participant in some of the images of child pornography and therefore was instrumental in the children’s victimization,’’ he said. “Mr. Neil posted the images taken of John Doe 1 and John Doe 2 onto the Internet, thus further victimizing them each time those images were subsequently viewed.’’ Outside court, Neil’s lawyer said the

punishment was harsher than his client had hoped. “But that’s the way it is sometimes,’’ Mark Thompson said. “He’s said also he’s making a concerted effort to get treatment to change. He told everybody that asked . . . that he was remorseful and we’ll go by his word on that.’’ Thompson had asked for a sentence of time served, arguing further incarceration wouldn’t help with Neil’s rehabilitation or reintegration. Twelve years ago, German police discovered obscured images of a man sexually abusing two young boys in a hotel in Cambodia. Experts unscrambled his blurred face in 2007, prompting a global manhunt of a man the international media dubbed Swirl Face. Neil was arrested in Thailand and jailed almost five years for molesting two boys on unrelated charges, before returning to Canada in 2012 on an early pardon. But Neil was not prosecuted for the notorious images until Canadian investigators built new evidence against him. He was jailed in 2014 after breaching orders prohibiting him from possessing a laptop. Vancouver Police subsequently discovered child porn and matched the evidence with thousands of images seized from Neil’s family storage locker and that set off the investigation in Cambodia.

B.C. expands drug program, cites savings THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — British Columbia has expanded a drug program that provides patients with cheaper medications to treat the same illness, but critics say seniors and low-income people will be forced to pay out of pocket if they can’t switch to alternatives. As of Dec. 1, the Reference Drug Program will include three new

categories of drugs: some that treat high blood pressure and heart disease, others for stomach-acid issues, and statins that treat high cholesterol. Cheaper categories of other drugs that treat high blood pressure and heart disease have also been added to the program, along with another class of medications for stomach-acid conditions. Nitrates, for people suffering

from heart disease, and a class of drugs that treat pain and reduce inflammation are already part of the program. Cheryl Koehn, who speaks

for the advocacy group Arthritis Consumer Experts, said thousands of patients who may have to switch to cheaper drugs will be affected by the changes. Koehn says that while she has a private drug plan that covers the cost of the rheumatoid arthritis medication she’s taken for years, others will have to pay out of pocket or switch to a cheaper alternative that may not be as effective.

Tips on smoking food All barbecue is smoked, but not all smoked foods are barbecue. Texas brisket, Carolina pork shoulder and Kansas City ribs are examples of barbecue, but ham, smoked cheddar and smoked salmon are not barbecue.

1. MEALS TO MASTER:

Pork shoulder, chicken or turkey, salmon, ribs and brisket. Novices can start with pork shoulder. It has fat on the outside and marbling on the inside, making it tender, and it’s difficult to harm if you get an unexpected spike in temperature. Brisket and ribs, on the other hand, have to be cooked low and slow for a long time to be tender.

2. FLAVOUR RAW FOOD:

Pre-smoke flavouring techniques include salting, curing, brining, rubbing, marinating and injecting. During smoking, you can add mop sauces, sprays, bastes, glazes and barbecue sauces. A basic barbecue rub is used a lot on fatty meats like pork shoulder or ribs. Brine is often used with lean meats like chicken, turkey and pork chops — some of the saline solution is absorbed into the meat, making it succulent.

3. CHOOSE WOOD:

Raichlen divides woods into for-

A15

est (such as hickory, maple, pecan and oak), orchard (like apple, cherry and orange) and exotic (woods like buttonwood, olive and pimento and non-woods like allspice berries, cinnamon sticks, hay, tea and rosemary). In Italy, mozzarella is smoked with hay. A misconception is apple or cherry wood will make food taste like those fruits. Use mesquite in limited doses because the wood has a bitter note.

4. ADD WOOD SLOWLY:

Wood should be added gradually every 40 minutes to an hour. The smoke should be pale blue. If it’s black or billowing, you may be adding too much. Lower heat produces more smoke; higher temperatures produce less.

5. SMOKE WITHOUT THE SMOKER:

To boost smoke flavour without a smoker, Raichlen suggests: liquid smoke, chipotle chilies, ham, bacon, smoked cheese, salt or paprika, pimentos, mezcal, Lapsang souchong tea and Scotch whisky.

here are many reasons people buy wine. Sometimes, it is purchased for a gift. For some, choosing is easy, while for others it is panic-inducing. But that’s another topic. Perhaps you are ready to try being a wine drinker, tired of ordering a cocktail to have with dinner because you don’t know pinot from shiraz. That’s where I was when I started out. Picking out a bottle for yourself can be a little intimidating when you don’t speak the language. And believe me, winemakers have their own language. Or maybe you would like to try the winery circuit around here, but don’t know what you might like. When you decide to start sampling wine, looking for one you might actually buy to drink again or serve

to people you like and want to see again, I’ve found some do’s and don’ts to help successfully cross over to the grape side. I’ll focus on the don’t side of the equation because I am bossy. Don’t buy a $7 bottle of wine. Just don’t. No good can come of that. If you are going to spend that kind of money on wine, you should have already wrecked your palate with other alcohol or a lifetime of bad choices. Don’t buy it and drink it without food beside you.

Almost all wines in my price range are better when eating. Wine and popcorn? Yes. Wine and Doritos? Sure. Wine and dinner? I do believe a few people swear they go well together. Don’t pick a wine because it has a cute label. In fact, don’t pick a wine without looking at the back label. Turn that bottle around and read the recommendations and description on the back. If it says you should drink it with blue-rare steak, I’m going to go out on a limb and say it may not be a suitable first wine. The same goes for one that touts hints of road tar and tobacco. You may want to ease into that experience. Don’t drink it right off the shelf. Wine is best at the right temperature. Don’t get all worried — 15 minutes in the fridge for red and 15 minutes out of the

fridge will do for most white. Drink it too cold and you may as well water it down and serve it on ice. Don’t be put off by wine snobs and knowit-all salespeople. Ask around at the store for a good wine. Let them know you are new to it. If they make you feel small or start going off about coldpress and terroir — just walk away. It’s just wine. They should help you buy it, not give you a chemistry or social studies lesson. Trying a mid-priced (think $15 or so) wine from B.C., Chile, Argentina, Australia or France will probably be a good starting point. Don’t be put off by a bad bottle. I’ve tried many wines I don’t like. I’m a trooper, though, so I persevere. Bonnie McBride is a wine blogger. For more, go online to sipsinthe city.wordpress.com.

Big bulky looks of Cadillac XT5 designed to deceive certainly helped showcase the impressively agile and predicable handling abilities of the XT5. Heading south, on a series of freeways and byways, we ended up at an interesting lunch stop called the Miner’s Diner —which offered mighty good eats — in Julian. This high-elevation 19th century gold rush town is also famous for its apple pies, being the heart of an apple growing area, and crowded signposts.

isually, it looks bigger and bulkier, but the new 2017 Cadillac XT5 is actually an inch shorter in length and considerably lighter than the current Cadillac SRX it replaces. A longer wheelbase and bigger wheels add to the XT5’s optical illusion and its stretched cabin area allows much needed additional rear seat legroom. Like its successful predecessor, the XT5 is a stylish mid-sized luxury utility vehicle. Power is provided by a new direct injection 3.6-litre 315-horsepower V6 engine with cylinder deactivation and auto stop-start features to improve fuel efficiency. The name change is apparently part of a larger Cadillac master plan for a series of leaner and meaner XT crossover utility vehicles both smaller and larger than XT5 in coming years. The only naming exception will be the — mother of all utility —

The tech

The Cadillac XT5 is a mid-sized luxury utility vehicle expected to land with a splash in Canada.

Cadillac Escalade. These days, Cadillac benchmarks its products against European competitors such as BMW and MercedesBenz, instead of domestic rivals. It has high sales expectations for XT5 and Canada is expected to be its third largest market, behind the U.S. and China. Engineering goals for XT5 included more cabin space, improved ride, better handling, better fuel efficiency and better noise and

vibration performance. Mass reduction quickly became a key element to achieving these goals and about half of the weight savings came out of the old chassis. State-of-the-art digital analytical tools combined with greater use of high-strength and press-hardened steel is how a Cadillac engineer explained the weight reduction. The structural changes also include an interesting new built-in safety inno-

vation — splayed front rails. Designed to deform in a certain way, they deflect or push the XT5 away from an offset frontal impact, which is a very common type of vehicle collision. The new 3.6L V6 is the only engine offered in XT5 and it’s mated with an eight-speed automatic that features Cadillac’s first-ever drive-by-wire electronically controlled shifter. This compact shifter

unit allows a large storage space under the centre console in the cabin. The first stage of our XT5 test drive route, which started at our Dana Point hotel, took us over the Santa Ana Mountains via the Ortega Highway (SR74) to Lake Elsinore. It’s a tight two-lane mountain road with steep drop-offs, intimidating rock faces, lots of switchbacks . . . and spectacular views. The early morning gut tester of a drive

A new Caddy always comes packed with new technology and the XT5 doesn’t disappoint, especially if you splurge for a higher trim version. Even the basic goodie package includes Wi-Fi hot spot, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and a hands-free liftgate. LED headlights, a head-up display and advanced safety technologies such as adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist are also available. Unique new tech includes Cadillac’s patented Rear Camera Mirror, which enhances a driver’s rear vision

by 300 per cent. A video display, applied over the conventional inside rearview mirror, streams an unobstructed wideangle view of what’s going on behind. An AJAC Best New Safety Technology winner, it helps solve a driver vision issue that plagues many modern high-back design vehicles. The advanced “twin clutch” all-wheel drive system is now capable of transferring up to 100 per cent of available torque to either the front or rear axle and/or to either rear wheel, via an electronically controlled rear differential. There’s also a new driver-controlled “disconnect” feature that disables the rear-drive unit. Improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions are the benefits of operating in this front-drive mode. Canadian prices for a Cadillac XT5 start at $45,100 (FWD) and $52,120 for the allwheel-drive editions. Expected city/highway fuel economy ratings for FWD editions are 12.1/8.6 L/100 kilometres and 12.9/8.9 L/100 kilometres for AWD editions and an XT5 runs fine on regular gasoline.

olive opportunity DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

reg Reid wasn’t a big fan of olives — at least not until he watched a friend’s two-year-old chowing down on some. One might argue the child was bound to be a fan, since his dad manages a commercial olive grove in Australia, but nevertheless, Reid was intrigued, so he tried one. And another. And another. And, soon, Reid was learning about olives, about curing them, about using them to make olive oil. He is now importing those same fruits and creating his own line of premium olive oil. He knows he’s up against a lot of competition; there are more than 150 types of olives used to make oil and plenty of manufacturers. There’s a belief the best olive oil comes from the Mediterranean, but it’s one people like his Australian friend are challenging, Reid said. That attitude is buoyed by a study done six years ago at the University of California. Researchers studied the quality of 14 olive oils sold in the region and determined 69 per cent of imported oils labelled as extra virgin weren’t. An investigative-journalism article in the New Yorker magazine reported a proliferation of olive oils blended with other oils, but still sold as extra virgin. Recently, the Italian government introduced what is being called the “save oil” law, one that regulates marketing standards and characteristics of olive oils. It did so in response to draft legislation that would have decriminalized penalties for counterfeit oil. The new law includes sanctions and administrative penalties.

It also demands specific information be included on the labels. Reid knows the quality of his oil because he watches it being made. He trusts the fruit — he uses the frantoio variety, one described as grassy and herbaceous — and he trusts his friend. As with wines — Reid is also an accomplished vintner — there are other factors to be considered, from the type of olive grown to the soil in which the trees are planted. Some years, the fruit is better than other years. Most important to Reid is that he knows the oil he is now marketing under the label Oz is the freshest extra-virgin oil possible. That quality is the best of the bunch, one that has come from the first cold press of the fruit to squeeze out the oil. It has to meet specific acidity levels and has to actually taste like olives. Reid said the way his friend taught him to do it is to crush the pulp, mix it with water, churn it up and use a centrifuge to separate the two, recycling the water and bottling the oil. Again, similar to wine, Reid said good olive oil has a nose or bouquet. Yes, it’s OK to swirl it and sniff it. There are health benefits to the oil, as well, Reid said. It’s cholesterol-free and a good source of vitamins E, A and K. The omegas it contains are good for brain function and the oil is high in anti-oxidants, something that can be beneficial in fighting cancer cells. The phytonutrient oleocanthal reacts in the body much like ibuprofen does, reducing inflammation. It can also reduce the effects of diabetes. And, contrary to a popular belief, olive oil can be used for sauteeing and frying at high heats, it doesn’t reach its high smoke point until the heat is 210 C (410 F). Reid is building a website — ozpremium.com — and has a Facebook page to help market his oil. He’s also taking orders via email (info@ozpremium.com) or by calling 778-220-6502. He sells his oil in half-litre bottles for $20. Reid said he deliberated for some time about the best bottle size, choosing the smaller one to reduce the length of time and size of open head space as the oils is used, not so much to reduce oxidation as to ensure the nose and freshness don’t diminish over time.

ment required to get through the learning phase, he opted to pass on the torch to a couple who have been looking to branch out on their own in the food and beverage industry. Karly Harrison and DJ Parkin took over as owners of the location in March and they’ve already made changes. Customers will notice a transition away from the fastcasual concept, which sees higher-quality food than typical fastfood outlets but less service than a full restaurant. “We felt that the food itself was kind of getting a bit devalued and we really wanted to expand the menu,” Harrison said. They continue to offer takeout and the custom pizzas Bold has become known for — they even have new toppings, Harrison said. But they have moved to traditional sit-down service, added more pizzas, pastas and desserts and created a patio area. “It’s a nice little space,” Harrison said. So far, she said,

they’ve had a great response. “We’re really happy with the way things rolled out,” Harrison said. She and Parkin worked together at Hoodoos at Sun Rivers prior to the move. They’re a good team, Harrison said, being that her experience is in front of the house and Parkin’s is in the kitchen. In the past, they also worked for the Boston Pizzas in town. Bold was an opportunity for them to try their hands at “being the boss”, Harrison said. “We’ve got a lot of history,” she said. Gainey still stops in from time to time and plans to continue with franchising — the full restaurant and an express version — when numbers get stronger. “It needs to get to a level where there’s room for somebody to charge a franchise restaurant,” Gainey said. A restaurant might hope to make 10 to 12 per cent in a year, he said, so it needs to be able to prove it can make that and more to cover royalty fees to the franchise. For now, he’s giving the new owners space, “to let them get their

legs and get comfortable,” he said. “I know they’re doing a good job with the building and they’re putting out good food.”

More food for thought:

Residents on the south side of the Thompson River are clinking Red Stripes with the expansion of Jam-Can Cafe. The 12th Street restaurant boasting Jamaican-Canadian cuisine recently opened a second location — called Jamaican Kitchen — in Columbia Place Shopping Centre. Meanwhile, those with a sweet tooth may want to head downtown. Caduceus Chocolates recently opened, offering a “curated collection of Canadian-made, micro batch premium chocolate.” Located at 228 Third Ave., it offers raw, vegan and diabetic confectioneries. Types of small batch artisan chocolates include salted caramel, pink peppercorn and dark ganache aztec chilli. Just don’t all flock to it at once — the shop is as small as the delicate chocolates in which it sells.

Basso hopes white will wow JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Last year, Judy Basso stood outside in the outfit she had planned to wear the night of the cancelled White on White on White (WOWOW) party. “I was seeing my breath,” the event planner told KTW. “I lasted six minutes. It was so cold I had to go inside. It was the right decision for sure.” She was forced to postpone the September fundraiser due to weather and now the outdoor event — featuring white clothing and decor and held at a secret location — picks up on Tuesday, June 21. Basso doesn’t expect weather will be an issue this time around. “Now we’re launching the beginning of summer,” she said. She hopes to make a splash and continue WOWOW as an annual event, with a different beneficiary each year. This year, money raised will go to the Kamloops SPCA to aid with the costs of building a new shelter. The $4.8-million project will see a 10,000-squarefoot facility built on Tranquille Road, near the Kamloops Airport.

Basso adopted a cat from the SPCA. “It’s [a cause] very close to my heart,” she said. As for the party, much of it is secret — a decision Basso made after asking around and learning “100 per cent said they’d rather be surprised. “It just adds to the fun element of it,” she said. What she can say is WOWOW is at a special location, somewhere an event has never been held. Attendees will get a text or email on the day of the event and are expected to leave at 5 p.m., with time to arrive at the party by about 5:30 p.m. As for attire, the rules are strict. Elegant white clothing right down to jackets and shawls (if needed) is expected — the only exception is men can wear light beige pants — and guests who do not abide will be turned away, with tickets nonrefundable. She will have clear ponchos on hand in the event it rains. “We want everybody to wear white just to get in the spirit, the game of the party,” Basso said. “Once everybody sees how neat it is to see everybody in white,

it’s magical.” There will be options for people to get a ride home by donation, including a ride back to their vehicle the following day. A centrepiece contest will see the winner given a wine tour for two with DiVine Tours.

“We’re asking people to bring their own centrepiece for their own area of the table,” Basso said, noting it’s theirs to take back home after. Beyond the centrepieces, expect white tablecloths, chairs and even some white

food prepared by chef Romeo Oloresisimo of Up Town Chefs. Add to it the surprise elements, such as live music throughout the evening and goodie bags. “It’s going to be the party of the year,” Basso said.

Tickets are $128 per person for groups of eight or more or $158 per person. Basso said the amount being donated to the SPCA will depend on how many tickets are sold. She’s hoping for 150 to 200 attendees.

A cash-only 50/50 will also take place. The bar will, however, accept credit or debit. For more information, including additional parameters for the centrepiece contest and where to get tickets, go online to judybassoevents.ca.

eah deZeeuw believes in giving back. It’s why the Grade 12 student at Sa-Hali secondary, whose interest moving forward in her education is mental health, created a happiness club at her school that uses events like lipsync battles to boost the emotion in her fellow students. She also has a shoebox project she does at Christmas, putting toys and other items into the containers and donating them to the Kamloops Boys and Girls Club. She’s involved with an anti-bullying program at her school, the Me to We program and recently attended the National UNESCO Schools Conference in Winnipeg.

before killing herself. Leah still sings — she’s booked again this year to perform in Live At Lunch sponsored by the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association this summer — and, when she’s not doing all of those activities, she likes to do long-distance running up to 10 kilometres some days. “I just enjoy helping people,” Leah said, “and I think I get more out of it. “Some people do sports. This is what I do.” It’s also what has earned her a $2,500

award from PEO International, chosen from 35 local applicants. Only three of the scholarships were awarded in B.C. from 1,900 applications, said Kamloops chapter head Laura Graham. PEO is a philanthropic organization of women designed to help other women achieve success. Graham said they look for excellence in leadership, community service, academics — Leah is a straight-A student — and their potential for success. Leah said her family believes in giving back

to their community and, by the time she was in Grade 7, she was choosing her own initiatives for involvement. She said she focused on her school because “a lot of kids seem to think it’s not cool to care about things in high school but I want them to know it is cool to care.” After graduation, Leah plans to focus on post-secondary education that will lead her to become a pediatric psychologist specializing in obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Evgeniia Kolodko won silver in shot put for Russia at the 2012 Olympic Summer Games in London. She has tested positive for using banned substances during those Games. Kamloops shot putter Dylan Armstrong, who married Kolodka last year, has always been clear on his no-tolerance stance against performance enhancing drugs, but remains supportive of his spouse.

his has nothing to do with me, my coach or my country, says Kamloops shot putter Dylan Armstrong. The Olympic bronze medallist is standing by his wife, Evgeniia Kolodko, a Russian athlete named last week in a doping scandal, but at the same time condemning the use of performance enhancing drugs. “I can’t say much more than I’ve said in my statement,” Armstrong told KTW. “Anyone who knows me knows my stance and will not be judgmental toward me.” Armstrong married Kolodko in a private civil ceremony last year in B.C. She won silver in shot put at the 2012 Olympic Summer Games in London. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) named eight Russian athletes who tested

positive for doping during those Games and Kolodko is on the list. Armstrong said he did not know her prior to the 2012 Olympics. “Today’s news is especially difficult as it affects both the Olympic athletic community and someone I love deeply, Evgeniia,” he said in a statement to CBC, available online in its entirety at kamloopsthisweek.com. “I have been consistently outspoken about my position on doping, which is zero tolerance. I

am not only a dedicated Olympic athlete; I am a patriotic Canadian and a committed husband.” Armstrong waited nearly seven years to claim the bronze medal he won at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, an ironic twist to a story that might end with his wife surrendering her Olympic silver. Andrei Mikhnevich, the Belarusian who threw less than one centimetre farther than Armstrong to place third at those Games, was caught for doping after a re-testing of samples collected at the 2005 World Championships. In August of 2014, the IOC stripped the Belarusian of the medal. Armstrong finally got his hands on the hardware at a ceremony in February of 2015 at the Tournament Capital Centre, packed with more than 1,000 of his supporters. Armstrong has never minced words when it comes to his stance on PEDs. “We’ve got butter knives and we’re going up against people with

AK-47s,” Armstrong told KTW in 2013 when asked how disheartening it is to compete against dopers. “That’s literally how it is. Everybody says, ‘Canada never gets any medals.’ “Well, do you know what it’s like? Do you know what we’re up against? What do you expect?” Armstrong’s longtime coach is Ukrainian throws legend Anatoliy Bondarchuk, who also coached Kolodko. KTW has reached out to the Bondarchuk family for comment. “This has nothing to do with me or my coach or Canada for that matter,” Armstrong told KTW. “It has to do with my wife and the Russian athletics federation and sports ministry, who I cannot speak for. This has all happened previous to our relationship.” Under World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) rules, a second sample must reveal a positive test for an athlete to be banned from future competitions. Armstrong has instructed his wife to co-operate fully with the

IOC and WADA as they determine which steps should be taken next. “At the same time, I will offer my love, patience and support to Evgeniia as she responds to the news of these doping test results in her home country of Russia and as she navigates her future as an elite athlete,” Armstrong said in the statement. The IOC stores Olympic doping samples for 10 years to make re-testing possible when new technology is made available. Last week, 23 athletes from five sports and six countries had positive results from re-tests with improved methods on 265 samples from the London Games. “I have never condoned doping in sport,” Armstrong said in his statement. “I also know personally how disheartening it can be after waiting more than six years after Beijing to receive my Olympic bronze medal due to the doping practices of a competitor. “I will offer my love, patience and support to Evgeniia as she responds to this news.”

Hooping Idol MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kat Kierans is Kamloops’ first hooper star. The 24-year-old South Kamloops secondary graduate was one of more than 80 hula hoopers who auditioned to be on Season 6 of Hooping Idol and one of 21 who qualified for the online show. She made it to the final seven, but was eliminated last week, unable to escape the Horror Week round. Now for some background. Hooping Idol, a contest run through hooping.org, is essentially American Idol for hula hoopers, with contestants uploading three- to four-minute videos to YouTube or Vimeo that are assessed by a group of international judges and fans online. And, as Kierans likes to put it, this is not your grandmother’s hula hooping. Kierans is an accomplished dancer and her hooping routines, usually set to music, tell stories and incorporate difficult, acrobatic tricks. “Some people are like, ‘Oh, you must go to a lot of music festivals and you’re probably a big hippie,’ and, yeah, I do get some weird looks when I have a car full of hula hoops,” Kierans said. “At first, I was a little embarrassed, for like the first year, but people are really, really cool with it and they find it intriguing. Most of them want to try it.” KTW has posted a link to one of her videos online at kamloopsthisweek.com. Past Hooping Idol champions

include Nick Broyd of Bristol, England, Hannah Flett of Exeter, England, Maryeve Gaudreau of Quebec City, Esmerelda Garcia of Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico and Courtney Fagras of Bellingham, Wash. Philo Hagen of Los Angeles is the co-founder and managing editor of hooping.org. The panel of judges includes former circus performers and Hooper Hall of Famers from across the globe. Kierans told KTW she recently celebrated her third “hoopiversary” and she remembers well her introduction to the activity at Riverside Park. “Six months prior, I had torn my ACL and MCL in a skiing accident and I was like, what do I do now? I can’t dance ballet anymore,” Kierans said. “My friend handed me a hula hoop. As soon as he taught me one trick, I was hooked. I started dancing when I was four, so it was an easy transition.” Contestants must construct their Hooping Idol routines to fit themes provided to them each week. Kierans survived Sixties Week, Electronic Dance Music Week and Opera Week before the axe fell after Horror Week. The judges’ assessments count for 40 per cent and online fan voting for 60 per cent of the the final scores. Kierans was ranked fourth among the remaining seven hoopers after the judges’ Horror Week voting, but was one of two eliminated when the online ballot boxes closed. “I was disappointed, but I knew I was up against some pretty awesome people,” Kierans

said. “It is what it is. I was happy I made it as far as I did. I’m really proud of myself.” The Kamloops hooper’s regular videographer was unable to shoot her Horror Week performance, which forced a rookie into action, and Kierans is still polishing her video-editing skills, both factors which may have helped lead to her demise. If Kierans had advanced to this week’s round, she would have had to perform live in front of at least 10 people and may have opted to use her contacts on the local bar scene to make that happen. She missed out on that opportunity and the chance to win the grand prize, which includes free advertising opportunities on hooping.org, an LED hula hoop worth about $550, passes to festivals, opportunities to teach and about $1,000 worth of gift certificates. The hooping expert will leave Kamloops this month and head to Vancouver Island, where she will spend her second season working for a sea-kayaking company. Kierans may return for Season 7, when the earth finishes its next hoop around the sun. “I’d love to do it again,” she said. “I’m not sure what their rules are for trying out again, but I’d love to.”

said. “It has to stop here and now.” Despite a tide of criticism and pressure on him to leave, Blatter is moving ahead with a presidential election today that is likely to bring him another four years in office as one of the most powerful men in sports. “The events of yesterday have cast a long shadow over football,” he said, his voice shaky at times, in a speech to open FIFA’s two-day congress. “There can be no place for corruption of any kind.” Blatter refused to back down after European soccer body UEFA demanded earlier yesterday that he quit following the latest — and most serious allegations — to discredit FIFA during his 17 years in office. “Enough is enough,” UEFA president Michel Platini said. “People no longer want him any more and I don’t want him any more, either.”

Pennies From

Heaven

by Charles L. Mashburn I found a penny today, Just laying on the ground But it’s not just a penny, This little coin I’ve found. “Found” pennies come from heaven, That’s what my Grandpa told me He said angels toss them down; Oh, how I loved that story. He said when an angel misses you, They toss a penny down Sometimes just to cheer you up, Make a smile out of your frown So don’t pass by that penny, When you’re feeling blue It may be a penny from heaven That an angel tossed to you.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Ken Copeland Ken Copeland passed away peacefully on Thursday, May 26, surrounded by the love of his family. He is survived by his best friend and wife Cheryl, his daughter Tara and sons Cale (Melissa, Caden and Taia), Evan and Roarke and siblings Roy, Sandra and Lynne, as well as numerous in-laws and outlaws. Ken was born on September 7, 1940, in the basement of a hospital in London, England at the end of a doodlebug during the London Blitz. He served his apprenticeship on the London Docks, becoming a fitter/machinist. Ken lived and worked in Paris and South Africa, and then for the British Merchant Marines and American Merchant Marines, travelling to South America and Asia. He finally immigrated to Canada in 1968, and worked in Toronto, Dawson Creek, Prince Rupert and New Westminster. Ken worked for many years as a Millwright, within a union or as part of a management team. He always had a passion for fairness and people. In 1976, he received his diploma from BCIT for Business Administration, majoring in Personnel and Industrial Relations. In 1981, began his 21-year career with the Ministry of Labour, working as an Industrial Relations Officer. Ken took his work very seriously and prided himself on being objective and fair. He loved being of service and to helping those in need. However, his love for his job was eclipsed by his passion for his family. No matter how busy he was, Ken always made time for award ceremonies, track meets, concerts and plays. Ken loved to chat and was an amazing storyteller and conversationalist. More importantly, he loved to listen. Despite his charm and outgoing demeanour, Ken was actually a very private man and he requested that there be no funeral. Our family will be honouring his wishes. If you wish to honour Ken, please raise your glass…or your coffee mug to him. He’ll be smiling down on you. Our family is forever grateful to Dr. Janusz, Dr. Fike, Dr. Mahmood and Dr. Muhammad for their care of Ken, as well as all the wonderful doctors, nurses and R.T.s at R.I.H. during Ken’s recent stays. We also thank Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services for their compassion at this time.

BUD STEWART

Cowboy, Auctioneer, Knot-tyer. On Sunday, May 22, 2016 Bud Stewart turned his horse’s head toward the horizon and rode away for the final time. His death was caused by ignoring best before dates, drinking the juice from a jar of hot pickles, cat hair and a short but brave battle with cancer. Bud has gone on to join his family (listed below), and his friends that he considered family including Ken Brower, Dave and Joan Perry, Jimmy McDonnell, Therman Clements, Jim Cobb, Slim Dorin, Carl Willcox, Benny Day, Jack Koster, Kenny McLean, Freddy Pippolo, Chunky Woodward, Bill Rand, Pike Anderson, Gus and Millie Gottfriedson, Dibbs and Elva Newberry, Sammy and Marino Pozzabon, Dale Arvae, Alice Haynes and the infamous outlaw Rodeo clown, Buddy Heaton. Bud was born Rae Cecil Stewart in 1930; the second child, and first son, to Beth and Jack Stewart of Maple Creek, Saskatchewan. His sister Bertie named him Bud. Bud’s keen sense of adventure soon brought him to work in BC’s Cariboo region where he undoubtedly purchased a pair of Wranglers that would turn out to last him a lifetime. Bud made quick friends with the Arave cowboys from Salmon, Idaho while on the BC rodeo circuit eventually dating their sister, Christy. The two were married at the ranch house in 70 Mile House and moved to Kamloops shortly thereafter. He made her laugh. He could imitate anybody and it was hilarious. As a young husband, Bud worked for Doug Palmer at the Seven-O Ranch and later for Therman Clements, at the Cherry Creek Ranch, where he ran the Quarter Horse barn and was involved in cutting. He proudly rode the famous black stud “King Motion.” In 1959, Christy signed him up for auctioneer school in Billings, Montana and upon his return, Bud sold for the BC Livestock Co-op, Jamieson Auction House and Bud & Patty Noel, who organized horse sales throughout BC. He had also begun announcing and organizing rodeos. Their kids routinely answered the phone,

“Rodeo Office,” and wrote down the cowboy’s name and their event on the wall. Christy was the rodeo secretary and sometimes the timer. Dave Perry and Gary Hook were the stock contractors. Joan Perry and Verna Pippolo looked after the grand entry. Together they put on the Kamloops Indoor, Falkland, Williams Lake, Merritt, Clinton, Penticton, and Ashcroft rodeos. Bud was also a Gold Card Member of the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association (CPRA). Bud and Christy built a house in Barnhartvale near the Blackwell Dairy farm and were early members of the Pine Tree Riding Club. They were such early members that there was no arena. Instead, the members parked their pickups in the shape of an arena to stop any runaways. Bud tried his hand at business by partnering in Rocky Mountain Saddlery with Bill Smith (Smitty) and Alice Haynes and the famous model, Rose Chorney. He was also a partner in Imperial Boots & Tack before buying into West Coast Auctions in Cloverdale, BC. A few short years later he sold his share and purchased Beaverhead Livestock in Dillon, Montana. After selling the yard in Dillon, Bud went on to regularly sell market cattle at Quincy Livestock, Okanogan, WA as well as various horse sales with his friend Benny Day, at Chahalis, Centrailia, Marysville, Kalispell and the famous “Hermiston Horse Sale.” His boots progressively became more expensive, but those original Wranglers held on strong. When Bud became a Grampa, his expectations were made clear. Grandkids were for pulling off his boots, rubbing his neck, walking on his back and assisting him in the kitchen way too early in the morning. He put himself in charge of shaping the hotcakes into anything that was requested and swatted flies louder than necessary while yelling, “Come y’eat.” Bud was famous for his hotcakes and Hamlett breakfasts. Bud will be especially missed by his two cats Carlos and Pedro, his three legged dog Trapper, and his buckskinned mare named Fat Kathy. His critters kept him company while he tied rope halters and his signature knots.

Bud Stewart will be forever remembered by his ample family, his many lifelong friends and the Wrangler Jean company for his excellent advertising. Left behind to miss him are his “boys,” Debi Stewart, Cheryl Bird (Don), Shelley Hoggan (Jay), Karen Brown (J2), Konnie Herman (Lyle), Ronda Stewart and their mother Christy. His brother Cliff Stewart, wife Norma, niece Deana and nephews Harold and Gary John, sister Bertie Flodstrom, niece Julie (deceased) nephew Kenny, sister Iris (deceased), and niece Myra. His grandchildren Chrystie Stewart, Nicole Rumsey, Stephanie Telford, Cody Bennett, Brittany Fullmer, Shawn Twitchell, Brent Stewart, CJ Palmer, Hailey Twitchell, Brock Herman, Blake Herman, Kylie Morse, Hadley Bird, Housten Twitchell, Rylie Palmer, Chase Adams, Denton Herman, Colton Clapp (deceased), Pake Palmer, Jake Herman, J2 and McKinlee Hoggan, along with 22 greatgrandchildren. Also known to be holding Bud in their memory are the sons-inlaw gone-by: Clifford Palmer, Leo Twitchell, Bill Clapp and Vaughn Adams. A Celebration of a Life well lived will be held in the sale ring at the Co-op in Kamloops, BC.

A Cowboy’s Prayer Heavenly Father, we pause, mindful of the many blessings You have bestowed upon us. We ask that You be with us this rodeo and we pray that You will guide us in the arena of life. We don’t ask for special favors: we don’t ask to draw around a chute-fightin’ horse or to never break a barrier. Nor do we ask for all daylight runs or not to draw a steer that won’t lay. Help us, Lord, to live our lives in such a manner that when we make that last inevitable ride to the country up there, where the grass grows lush, green and stirrup high, and the water runs cool, clear and deep, that You, as our Last Judge, will tell us that our entry fees are paid.
