Edward Dostaler, nicknamed Fast Eddy by his late grandmother, will try to run across Canada and back next year in a bid to raise money for Alzheimer’s and breast-cancer research. Dave Eagles/KTW

THE THERE AND BACK MANBy Jessica Wallace

STAFF [email protected]

It’s going to take Edward Dostaler 47.74 weeks, $25,000 and 28 pairs of shoes to run 18,036 kilome-tres across the country and back next year.

He’s done the math — 28 pairs of runners will get him from the Pacific to the Atlantic and from the Atlantic back to the Pacific because each pair lasts precisely 697.83 kilometres.

“I’m one of those scientific people,” the 25-year-old Kamloops native told KTW.

“I have it down to a T.”It’s a good thing he’s done his homework

because Dostaler’s goal is a lofty one.“I’m going to be the first person in history to run

across Canada there and back,” Dostaler said.He plans to begin in Victoria in March 2015,

running unassisted across the country to Halifax and back.

With no vehicle behind him, he’ll push a jogging stroller with everything he needs, including a tent.

“It’s going to be me and the road,” Dostaler said.The natural athlete won’t be running for kicks. He’s getting the word out a year before to make

the most of it, raising money for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and Alzheimer Society of Canada.

THIS WEEKNew executive director follows special audit

Team B.C. drops Brier title tilt to Alberta

Page A14

By Dale BassSTAFF [email protected]

The White Buffalo Aboriginal and Metis Health Society has a new execu-tive director.

Jeanie Cardinal, former program director, has been promoted to the top spot at the agency, one of two hit with special provincial-government audits after financial concerns were raised with the Ministry of Children and Family Development.

At the end of the audit, then-exec-utive director Deb Canada stepped down from the position as a salaried job, but retained the executive-director function on a contract.

Cardinal could not confirm Canada has been removed from a similar posi-tion at the Metis Commission of B.C., the other agency audited, but KTW has been told she is no longer heading it, either.

White Buffalo also announced Keith Henry as the new president of its board of directors.

Henry, president of the B.C. Metis Federation, recently joined the board.

The investigations into both agen-cies noted each provided the gov-ernment with “inaccurate quarterly

reports” in the past due to the account-ing practices each followed.

The audits were conducted in May 2013 by the accounting firm Grant Thornton LLP.

In its document itemizing all pay-ments made greater than $25,000, the Ministry of Finance noted White Buffalo received $409,328 from the province during the 2012-2013 fiscal year, which ended on March 31.

The Metis Commission received $586,440 in the same period.

The White Buffalo audit noted Canada worked one day a week at the agency and received a salary of $60,000 in 2012 for that work.

In 2009, she was paid $57,000. In 2010, she was paid $60,000. In 2011, she was paid $59,000.

As executive director of the Metis Commission, where she worked four days a week, Canada’s salary was $134,000 in 2012. In the years previ-ous, it was $90,000 in 2009, $104,000 in 2010 and $123,000 in 2011.

The White Buffalo audit also noted that, unlike other staff members, Canada’s expense reports lacked the same degree of detail and had no authorization for payment by a board member.

Dix says public pressure will be on governmentBy Cam FortemsSTAFF [email protected]

B.C. NDP Leader Adrian Dix predicted pressure will be on government, rather than teach-ers, to reach a deal and avoid job action.

Dix was in Kamloops on Friday, March 7, a day after teachers voted 89 per cent in favour of striking to back contract demands.

They have been working without a contract since June 30, 2013.

“There’s going to be tremen-dous public pressure, especially in wake of the court decision, for the government to work with teachers finally to come to an agreement,” Dix told reporters

gathered outside A.E. Perry elementary on the North Shore.

“That’s why people need to continue to put pressure on govern-ment.”

Kamloops-Thompson Teachers’ Association president Jason Karpuk appeared alongside Dix and said teachers are disap-pointed government has taken this long to table an offer.

The three-day vote, which began on Tuesday, March 4, and ended on Thursday, March 6, resulted in an 89 per cent vote in favour of phased job action that could include teachers refusing to

meet with admin-istration, send communication to or accept it from administrators.

“We were hop-ing offers would have been on the table in the middle of March last year,” Karpuk said.

“What were they doing for the last 11 or 12

months? The offer should have been there.”

Dix said the deal is about far more than wages.

He outlined a history begin-ning in 2002, when government unilaterally stripped class size

and composition from teachers’ contracts.

Echoes of those decisions con-tinue to be fought in court, with the most recent revelation in B.C. Supreme Court that the Christy Clark B.C. Liberal government intentionally provoked a strike in 2012.

“Evidence under oath from her own officials was she was conspiring to cause a strike,” Dix said. “She was found to be lying publicly about the education of our children. This is happening again now.”

Dix said there are 250 class-rooms in Kamloops that are above the province’s own limits on special-needs students.

He said any new contract needs to incorporate B.C.

Supreme Court decisions that would force districts to hire teachers and classroom aides.

The most-recent decision has been suspended pending an appeal by government.

Karpuk said hiring to address special-needs students helps all children in school, noting too many special-needs students without support means “less time for the average student.

“All teachers want inclusion, but we want it with appropriate supports so that everybody in that classroom has access to education on an equal basis,” Karpuk said.

He said there are differing opinions among teachers whether they should begin job action by withdrawing services or push for-ward to a full walkout.

Though it’s another year before the 2015 Special Olympics B.C. Winter Games make their way to the tournament Capital, the local chapter of Special Olympics Canada is already hard at work.

“We want to qualify as many local athletes as we can in winter sports,” said fundraising co-ordina-tor Michael Maveety.

That means plenty of practice and com-petition this winter as athletes head to regional qualifier events across B.C.

The local club is already seeing some success.

At the curling regional quali-fier in Kelowna in February, a rink led by Kamloops Special Olympic curler Wayne Kuchyski took home a silver medal.

Curling coach Robin Hans said she’s not sure yet if that will mean a provincial

Games berth but, if it does, her athletes will be ramping up their practices to twice a week.

Kuchyski, a longtime Special Olympian who also plays floor hockey, said he enjoys the challenge of the provincial competi-

tions (not all athletes involved in Special Olympics play com-petitively), but also the social aspect of the Games.

“I like to meet everybody,” he said.

Angela Nordin, who has bowled at the national level with the Special Olympics,

said that’s also a big draw for her.

“It’s pretty fun,” she said. “I love it.”

Bowling, a summer event, is Kamloops’ most popular Special Olympics sport, with 95 athletes participat-ing.

Besides curling, winter sports include

figure skating, snow-shoeing, floor hockey and speed skating.

The Special Olympics winter program runs until April, when athletes will switch to summer sports such as softball and track and field.

Hans said most people don’t realize

how active Special Olympics is.

“Special Olympics isn’t just once a year,” she said. “We run programs every day of the week.”

This month, Safeway stores in Kamloops are running their annual campaign to raise money and

awareness for Special Olympics Canada.

Until March 21, customers can donate $2 to Special Olympics. Each donor receives five Air Miles in return.

Last year, the Fortune Drive Safeway location raised $3,719 for ath-letes with intellectual disabilities.

Maveety said money raised will help fund the national and provincial events in which Kamloops’ ath-letes strive to compete.

Highland Drive is once again up for road repairs after a water-main break forced the city to dig up a portion of the newly-widened road on the weekend.

Public-works director Jen Fretz said city crews received an emergency call on Sunday night (March 9) about the busted main.

“We were lucky in that our crews responded quickly and it wasn’t irrigation season,” she said.

“So. the residents of Juniper weren’t impacted at all. They didn’t notice they were close to being out of water or any-

thing like that.” Highland Drive was the site of a major

widening project last fall, which added a third lane of traffic and a multi-use path-way to the roadway.

Utilities manager Micheal Firlotte said the city had to dig up a section of that work about the length of a city bus, but was able to minimize the damage some-what by using less-intrusive equipment.

Firlotte said the extreme temperature change over the weekend likely led to the pipe shifting.

It was eventually pulled apart at a joint.The city hasn’t yet priced out the cost

of repairs, but Firlotte said the damage could have been worse than it was.

Because the ground was still partially

frozen, water coming out of the pipe wasn’t able to fan out under Highland Drive the way it might have under warmer conditions.

“The pipe didn’t actually break. It was more the pipe actually came apart, so we didn’t have to replace sections and sec-tions of pipe,” he said.

“So, once we do the proper backfill, it’ll be a pave job on that one section of road.”

Fretz said the city can’t do much to stop pipes from shifting when the tem-perature changes.

“Unfortunately, I suspect we’ll see a lot more of this with the freeze-thaw,” she said.

More repairs to Highland Drive

No lawyer — with sentencing date loomingBy Cam FortemsSTAFF [email protected]

A man who admitted to killing his childhood friend may attempt to withdraw his plea to manslaughter.

An uncommunicative and unrepresented Torbin Alec appeared in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops on Monday, March 10, to set a date for his sentencing.

Special prosecutor Rob Bruneau said in court Alec has “parted ways” with his defence lawyer Jeremy Jensen, who represented him in his

murder trial.Midway through the trial in

October, the Crown accepted a plea of manslaughter for what was originally a second-degree murder charge in connection to the death of Jesse Seymour.

The Crown and defence agreed on a joint submission for six years in jail.

But, Alec now appears reluctant.

Bruneau said outside the court he has a “gut feeling” Alec will try to bring forward an application to withdraw his plea and ask for a new trial.

“It’s a gut feeling based on the demeanour of the fellow.”

However, Bruneau said, Alec “doesn’t have the right” to withdraw that plea.

The stabbing in July 2012 happened after Seymour and Alec got into a fistfight after Jesse warned his childhood buddy that he had no chance to go home that night with Jesse’s cousin.

The Crown’s initial theory was Alec pulled the knife in what was otherwise a typical fistfight.

A pathologist testified that Seymour was stabbed six times, two wounds to his heart killing him instantly.

While is it clear that Alec

stabbed Jesse to death, doubts about intent and the possibil-ity of self-defence were raised early in the trial.

Inside the courtroom on Monday, Alec largely mut-tered when asked about his plans.

“Yes, I’m having difficulty in obtaining counsel,” he said.

When asked how long it would be, Alec replied: “It will be a while.”

However, he wasn’t granted that request.

A sentencing hearing will be set for the week of March 31 in front of Justice Dev Dley.

Heart disease now job-related stress for fi refi ghtersThe B.C. government has

introduced legislation that allows firefighters to claim heart disease, including heart attacks, as job-related stress.

Jobs Minister Shirley Bond said the province will amend the Workers’ Compensation Act to restore heart disease for firefighters to the list of pre-sumptive diseases recognized by WorkSafeBC.

“Our government appreciates the vitally important work that

firefighters do for the people of our province,” she said.

“Firefighters expose them-selves to significant hazards, and we want to provide further protection for these men and women who help keep our com-munities safe by recognizing heart disease and heart injury as presumptive diseases.”

Bond said forest firefighters will also be able to make insur-ance claims if they suffer from heart disease.

The new legislation means B.C. will become the only juris-diction in Canada to recognize heart disease as a job-related condition in its worker protec-tion laws.

The province considers other cancers, including leukemia, a job-related stress for firefight-ers.

B.C. Professional Firefighters Association president Mike Hurley said the inclusion of heart disease

as a job-related injury allows firefighters to recover without the added stress of making WorkSafeBC claims.

“Firefighters are exposed to a real toxic combination through their work on a daily basis,” he said.

“This, along with the heat and mental stressors faced by the profession, means that heart injuries due to the nature of the job are a reality for fire-fighters.”

Today at city hall: First Avenue project over budgetKamloops city

council will decide today (March 11) whether to take the next step on a major reconfiguration of the intersection in front of city hall.

Staff are asking council to sign off on a $1.8-million bid by Extreme Excavating for the work, which would realign the intersection of Lorne Street, First Avenue and Lansdowne Street

to allow north- and southbound movements between Riverside Park and the downtown core.

Extreme Excavating’s bid is higher than the $1.6 million the city had budgeted for the proj-ect but, in a report to council, streets and capital-projects man-ager Kristen Meersman said the city has tried and failed twice to bring in lower bids.

“Administration is confident that there is nothing else that can be done to reduce the cost of the project, and that if council would like this project com-pleted, the construc-tion contract should be awarded to the low bidder, Extreme,” Meersman wrote.

In August 2013, council opted to cancel a previous tender when only one over-budget bid was submitted.

Should it opt to do the same again, Meersman said the city still needs to complete some road rehabilita-tion on Lansdowne and Lorne streets, which was intended to be rolled into the realign-ment work.

More details on saleA report headed to

city council today sheds more light on how the city will pay for the

Kamloops Daily News building and parking lot it plans to purchase for $4.8 million.

The city plans to use money in its recently created parking infra-structure reserve and revenue from park-ing stalls at the 393 Seymour St., which it will rent out at $75 per month when it takes over the lot from cur-rent managers Impark.

The city plans to pay off the multi-million-

dollar loan over 30 years at a cost of about $277,600 a year.

The city predicts it will generate an additional $200,000 in annual parking revenue from its parking kiosks, where rates are due to rise again in 2015, and believes it will make more than $100,000 from the stalls currently available at the Daily News property.

Should it opt to tear down the build-

ing on the Daily News site, the city would need to spend another $900,000, plus $370,000 to create 65 new parking spaces in its former footprint.

The city is proposing to fund that out of its older parking reserve (different from the parking infrastructure reserve), which has $1.5 million in funds.

The sale should be complete by the end of August.

Sa-Hali’s junior achievers victorious

A team of students at Sa-Hali secondary has notched another victory.

A video created by the six students at the annual Junior Achievement Innovation Jam in January won the event’s People’s Choice Award.

The six students, three each from grades 11 and 12, had to create a business plan, complete with video, on a product as part of the program.

The team decided to create and promote Morning Wood Toothbrushes, with handles made from pine beetle, forest-fir or other unusable wood, and interchangeable bristles.

Videos from Sa-Hali and other teams were posted on YouTube, with the winner deter-mined by the number of “likes” registered.

The $3,000 grand prize will be presented in the spring.

RUNNING COMMENTARYwith Jo Berry

Register online at boogiethebridge.comRegister in person at the Tournament Capital Centre or Save On Foods.

One word — endorphins.

This is why I love to run.

That, and the sup-port and fantastic camaraderie that comes with joining Run Club.

Sunday morning’s meet-and-greet at The Plaza Hotel was fantastic.

Jo Berry and the team of Run Club coaches stood at the front of the room and talked about why they love being part of the group.

I don’t recall the endorphin kick being mentioned as a favourite, so I am men-tioning it here as the best reason to get out and run.

The endorphin kick is the best drug out there. It’s that feeling of peace and zen that overcomes your mind and body and lasts for several hours after-wards — and you forget the world of problems we all feel we carry on our shoulders.

On Sunday, we ran an easy 4 kilome-tres and it a was perfect start.

The outside run kicks butt on the indoor track, that’s for sure. Spring is melting away the snow and melting away a season of which we have all had enough.

I feel very much like I am exactly where I am supposed to be.

Jo Berry is right. Get yourself out the door and she will do the rest.

I am loving it and I am a total believer in this club.

Bring on Boogie!

This past week-end, we turned our clocks forward an hour.

It coincided nicely with today’s first Run Club clinic.

So, I secretly made it my personal marker to getting more active — and not just indoors. My wife Carolyn seems to think “getting more active indoors” means we reinstate the job jar and I do more housekeeping.

While vacuuming up cat hair, a light bulb went on in my head — I could be too busy for housework if I got more seri-ous about exercising and getting in shape.

Making time for regular exercise will take planning as I prepare to take part in the Tuesday night Run Club training group at the Plaza Hotel.

I must say, an extra hour of daylight is a great encourager. My goal is to get back to using free weights at home while watching less Netflix.

I will walk one hour each day and commit to the stretching exercises out-lined by my chiropractor.

Having chronic plantar fasciitis, it’s going to be important I stay on top of any foot issues that will likely occur during training. Getting back to regular twice-a-day therapy of alternating hot and cold will also be on my to-do list.

If you should see my wife this week, don’t ask her about report cards or the state of cleanliness of our house.

She might just catch onto my scheme of shirking household duties.

One of my goals for this year is to lose weight and I know if I watch my diet and get exercise, I can accomplish that, so I was counting down the days until training began for the CFJC-TV Boogie The Bridge.

I had to have one last guilty pleasure, though, so I indulged in junk food the night before.

On Sunday morning, the very enthu-siastic Jo Berry made me forget I got an hour’s less sleep with the switch to daylight saving time as she introduced the group to the coaches, with the promise that anybody can run and that we would be trained to do it properly.

Away we went — a very sizeable group of beginner runners for five min-utes of walking and one minute of jog-ging in a six-cycle rotation.

I was very grateful the weather was beautiful and it reminded me of the time I

ran with the club in November and the water in my bottle began to freeze.

It was fun not only getting exer-cise, but chatting to fellow trainees and making some new friends. It is non-competitive and there are lots of “pick-ups,” when those in the front of the group move to the back so nobody is left behind.

The post-run stretching exercises ensure our bodies are pain-free. I felt energized and good about myself and looking forward to my next training ses-sion tonight (March 11).

We all enthusiastically kicked off the CFJC-TV Boogie training on Sunday and will again tonight (Tuesday, March 11, 6 p.m. at the Plaza Hotel).

Come on down and change your life! On Sunday, there was a fantastic energy in the

room and I was so excited to see so many show up to participate in a life-changing program. It was terrific to see so many men join in the training this year and it’s going to be a fun eight weeks ahead.

Boogie training changes lives and, through the process of shedding our egos, we can move for the pure purpose of a healthy mind, body and spirit.

When we talk about ego-less running at Boogie, we are not referring to the typical thought that aris-es — one of arrogance or self-importance. In fact, if you are a fast, efficient runner, it doesn’t mean you are arrogant, or ego-based. A slower runner can have more ego, than a faster runner.

This is not the ego we talk about at Run Club. Ego can be defined as the central core to the

human mind and, when we become aware of it, we can train it and truly live healthier, happier lives. To use Freud’s definition, ego is in the centre of the balance of the mind.

So, how does this connect with running? This past Sunday, we welcomed all levels of runners. Some were beginners and others were very experi-enced.

For the new people, the hardest part was finding the courage to walk through that door and take that first step. For those of us who have been running for years, we are all excited to be entering another year of change and vibrant health.

So, Kamloops, as we embark on eight weeks of training, let’s explore all the possibilities. When we all show up on Boogie day, we will celebrate the changes that have occurred for each and every one of us.

Despite stats, too many left behind

Publisher: Kelly [email protected]: Christopher [email protected]

K A M L O O P S THIS WEEKVIEWPOINT

The recent Statistics Canada report trumpeting a 44.5 per ]cent increase in the worth of Canadians has left many, mostly lower-income Canadians, scratching their heads.

According to StatsCan, the net worth of Canadian families jumped to $243,800 in 2012 from $168,700 in 2005. In British Columbia, the median net worth of families is pegged

at $344,000.The statis-

tics certainly paint a rosy picture for the Canadian middle class.

What most headlines avoid are the statistics for the people in the top and bottom 20 per cent.

In 1999, the median net worth of individuals in the bot-tom 20 per cent was $1,300, while that of individuals in the top 20 per cent was $763,700.

In 2012, the median net worth of the bottom 20 per cent was $1,100, a drop of 15.4 per cent from 1999.

By contrast, the median net worth of the top 20 per cent in 2012 was $1,380,000, an increase of 80.7 per cent.

The report attributes the increase in median net worth for the higher segment to above-average increases in real estate values.

This explains why the lower net-worth groups have not seen a dramatic increase in their net worth and can’t afford to own real estate.

The headlines may say Canadians were better off in 2012 than they were several years ago, but the reality is too many Canadians are actually worse off.

The disparity will continue to exist until a plan produces affordable daily costs in life — including improved access to affordable day care and, eventu-ally, affordable housing.

In the capital, the issues are being nudged aside by muffi nsPROCEEDINGS AT THE

B.C. legislature were briefly thrust into the spotlight last week, firing up radio talk

shows and Twitter feeds.No, it wasn’t the B.C. Liberal

government forcing through legisla-tion to allow industrial “research” for things like pipeline routes in provin-cial parks.

Nor was it debate on sanctioned wolf and grizzly kills. It wasn’t the teacher strike vote, as the scripted motions of that ritual combat are well known to weary parents.

It was muffins.More specifically, “free” muffins

in a newly relocated and equipped MLA lounge and a rack installed to hold said muffins at a cost of $733.

This was portrayed as part of a spending spree by Richmond East MLA Linda Reid, elected speaker last summer. In fact, it’s just the lat-est phase of a strikingly expensive refit to provide wheelchair access, which Reid has championed.

The new MLA lounge replaces a seldom-used one at the top of steep stairs high in the 1898 stone structure. The new lounge is served by a ramp near the chamber exit to another under-used room in the library.

It is equipped with big-screen TVs to follow proceedings, similar to those installed in the legislature chamber last year.

Everything done in the legislature is expensive, from matching ornate woodwork to upgrading ancient plumbing and wiring.

But, the public, conditioned by

media to expect corruption and scan-dal, would rather be outraged about free muffins.

Prior to this, MLAs had to troop down to the basement dining room to put muffins and coffee on their expense accounts or have an assistant fetch them.

The outraged talk shows didn’t mention that. There are access issues in the dining room, too, a fact more difficult to ignore with Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux, Paralympian Michelle Stilwell and former Vancouver mayor Sam Sullivan now elected to serve using their wheel-chairs.

A costly new outside access ramp assisted Kenny Michell, who visited last week to tell his harrowing story of the Burns Lake sawmill explosion that nearly burned him to death in 2012 and left him in a wheelchair.

The NDP brought a delegation of survivors and family members of the dead from sawdust explosions in Burns Lake and Prince George.

They supported the opposition’s

demand for an independent inquiry, although their own demands ranged from counselling for long-suffering wives to seeing someone punished for alleged negligence.

The scandal pushed in this tragic story is that some evidence was not protected by WorkSafeBC and wouldn’t have been admissible in court. Prosecutors also said they had enough evidence for charges, but the companies or executives would be able to show “due diligence” that would likely result in acquittal.

What that means in English is the explosion risk of extra-dry dust and air wasn’t fully grasped by either mill operators or WorkSafeBC. All B.C. mills are now subject to more scrutiny and a coroner’s inquest will be calling witnesses this fall to deter-mine what lessons can be learned.

Back to pipelines through parks. This may seem like a scandal to

urban B.C. residents who already fret about the possibility of the 60-year-old Trans Mountain pipeline, or one of several proposed gas pipelines, intruding on a park.

It’s not as well known that Trans Mountain completed a major twin-ning and upgrading project on the Alberta side in 2008. It crosses Mount Robson Provincial and Jasper National parks, without incident or scandal to date.

But, back to the muffins.I don’t know why people are so

cynical and uninterested in serious issues. I wish I did.

Re: Story: Government cannot force casino to stay put:

“If Lake City Casino has a vision for the future, 2.5 acres won’t cut it.

“It should be looking at a casino floor as well as a couple of high-end restaurants, perhaps show-theatre space and maybe, just maybe, hotel space…

“This may keep people at home to gam-ble, rather than having them make the choice to go stateside for all the above-mentioned options.

“This vision natu-rally requires lots of space for expansion and I cannot see that kind of space available within the city limits.”

Editor:I attended Peter

Tsigaris’ weekend lecture at Thompson Rivers University, where the TRU eco-nomics professor gave an analysis regarding the possible economic costs of increased air pollution in Kamloops.

Tsigaris’ informa-tive and helpful lec-ture stands in stark contrast to the glossy brochure from KGHM International.

KGHM ignores important facts about the massive open-pit mine it plans to build and offers none of the science regarding risks to public health asso-ciated with open-pit mining, let alone the economic costs.

KGHM has to play the hand it was dealt. It is in business to make a profit.

It has a sizable investment in Ajax.

When one is driven by a duty to help KGHM meet its core

objective, to make a profit for shareholders and investors, one will stress some facts and gloss over others.

As the muckrak-ing journalist Upton Sinclair observed: “It is difficult to get a man to understand some-thing when his salary depends on him not understanding it.”

KGHM states: “We invest in opportunities in places like British Columbia, where sci-ence and common sense define the deci-sion-making process.”

What are the three rules in real estate? Location, location, location.

As Tsigaris’ analysis makes plain, the same applies to ore bodies, particularly in reference to air pollution.

KGHM plans a massive open-pit mine about one kilo-metre above existing homes and schools and upwind of roughly 100,000 residents of the

Thompson Valley.KGHM’s plans

show ore stockpiles within 310 metres of a designated residential area in the Kamloops Official Community Plan. KGHM’s Ajax ore body is in the wrong location.

Common sense screams that exploiting an ore body — Ajax has a projected life of 23 years and will process, during peak production years, about 250,000 tonnes of ore and waste rock per day — in this location now, today, is patently absurd, ridiculous, pre-posterous, foolhardy and laughable.

KGHM’s brochure glosses over the fact its open-pit mine could have seriously del-eterious affects on air quality (and the quality of life generally), not only for nearby homes, schools and businesses, but for residents in the valley.

Common sense?

KGHM’s brochure glosses over the fact its open-pit mine could dramatically increase noise levels (from daily blasts in the pit to the operation of heavy machinery and equipment) in homes, schools and businesses, particularly those in close proximity to the mine site.

Common sense?KGHM’s brochure

glosses over the fact control of surface and groundwater runoff from tailings, waste rock and the process-ing areas of a mine of this scale cannot be guaranteed. Seepage of such water could pres-ent serious health risks to residents and schools and nearby lakes and streams, some of which flow into our water source.

Common sense?Then there is science

regarding well-doc-umented health risks associated with open-pit mines.

Take a moment to visit the web site for Kamloops Physicians For A Healthy Environment.

Watch a lecture recently given by Dr. Jill Calder at TRU.

It is available online at kphe.ca.

Tsigaris’ indepen-dent economic analysis drives home the point that, from an economic point of view, KGHM’s proposed open-pit mine looms as a huge nega-tive.

KGHM is correct in stating “. . . science and common sense should define [our] decision-making process.”

If we, the people of Kamloops, allow this open-pit mine to proceed, we will defy science and common sense — all for the sake of the promise of an ill-defined number of jobs — and prove KGHM got a mine and Kamloops got the shaft.

With mine approval, Kamloops will get the shaft

Hockey structure to blameEditor:

Reading the latest saga of the Okanagan Rockets midget AAA team losing its home as the Kelowna Minor Hockey Association backs out comes as no surprise (‘Female midget players in danger of losing team,’ March 7):

The villain here, if there is one, has been a group that made the assumption this female regional hockey program, set up by BC Hockey, can most effectively be run by a local minor-hockey associa-tion.

This is, at best, a couple of notches below the male regional midget program, which is not run in this manner and never has been, to my knowledge.

Many of us involved in female

hockey at the regional level remem-ber when Kamloops could support its own regional team, which was disbanded in favour of the Kelowna program.

To hear that the more central location in Vernon is a primary candidate is a refreshing change to something that should have hap-pened a long time ago.

To hear BC Hockey has once again relied on a local association for administration and longevity of one of its teams is a disappoint-ment.

It makes you wonder where all the money spent by the female par-ents is going.

Good luck, Vernon.Jack Gervais

BACK TO REGULAR TREATMENT THANKS TO KTWEditor:

I would like to thank KTW reporter Dale Bass for writing about the trouble I was having retaining my original prescription for methadone (‘Methadone to methadose raising concerns,’ Feb. 27).

I am happy to report I will be going back to my regular treatment under what is called “special authority.”

I should now be able to wean myself off of methadone in four to five months.

Thank you, Dale.Thomas Jones

LOCAL NEWS

By Cam FortemsSTAFF [email protected]

A series of warm days that began on Sunday, March 9 — along with predictions of a warm spring by everyone from Environment Canada to Farmer’s Almanac — has golfers washing their clubs and calling for tee times.

The Weather Network’s spring outlook calls for near-normal temperatures.

Environment Canada forecasts a modest chance of above-nor-mal temperatures. The Farmer’s Almanac says it will be 1 C above normal on average for March and 2 C warmer than nor-mal in April.

Mount Paul Golf Course opened earlier in the month, but shut down again due to the bout of snow and cold weather.

On Sunday, temperatures in the city shot up to nearly 15 C and Environment Canada is predicting seven days of balmy weather, with daytime highs between 12 C and 16 C.

“The course is open. We’re on temporary greens,” said Brian Wornstaff, Mount Paul’s assistant professional.

Wornstaff said the sunshine and rising temperatures are driv-ing golfers to the course.

“Yesterday [Sunday], the driv-ing range was full — top and bottom.”

Regular greens are next on the list for opening.

At Kamloops Golf and

Country Club, golf pro Harold Simkins said the operation expects to open during the third week of March, slightly behind its usual schedule.

“It’s all up to the weather we get in the next 10 days,” he said.

“People are phoning. It will be at least a week-and-a-half yet.”

Meanwhile, the B.C. River Forecast Centre said weather last month was characterized by alternating periods of wet and

cold, conditions that boosted the snowpack in a number of regions in B.C. Temperatures were below average.

The agency’s recent snow survey found conditions in the Thompson watershed at near-normal, with 80 per cent of the winter snowpack already accu-mulated in the mountains.

The South Thompson River has an average snowpack, while the North Thompson is 91 per cent of normal.

Has spring fi nally sprung?Warm weather has golf courses preparing for 2014 season

It’s been a long winter, but it looks like warmer weather is (hopefully) here to stay —

welcome news for humans and avians alike.

COVER PAGE STORY

The two agencies — Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and Alzheimer Society of Canada — are close to Dostaler’s heart.

His grandmother, who helped raised him and nicknamed him Fast Eddy as a child, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease last year.

He is dedicating one leg of his run to her.

The other leg is dedicated to a former TRU professor, Tom Owen, who died of lung cancer and was an avid proponent for breast-cancer research.

“He took time to get to know me on a very personal level,” Dostaler said. “[He was] very inspira-tional.”

Dostaler plans to honour both by run-ning 60 kilometres a day for six days a week and 20 kilome-tres on the seventh — rest — day.

In his mind, there’s no turning back.

“I’d be dishonour-ing my grandmother and my professor if I

ever did,” he said.While his grand-

mother’s diagnosis

was the push Dostaler needed to take time off working as a car-penter, the run has been on his bucket list since he was 15 and studying Terry Fox and Rick Hansen in school.

The feat is similar to one Britain’s Jamie McDonald finished last month when he ran solo across Canada, raising funds for children’s chari-ties.

As part of his research, Dostaler spoke to McDonald — who came through Kamloops — and learned the impor-tance of doing something differ-ent to stand out and ultimately help his causes.

“I’d rather suffer a little bit to hopefully get those causes as much funding as pos-sible,” Dostaler said. “A lot of people just haven’t tested them-selves. I’m one who is willing to test myself.”

Dostaler is seek-ing sponsorship from local busi-

nesses before his run in 2015. He needs $25,000 for promo-tions, food and the

occasional hotel stay and hopes to raise $250,000 for his charities.

The feat is similar to one Britain’s Jamie McDonald finished last month when he ran solo across Canada, raising funds for children’s chari-ties.

As part of his research, Dostaler spoke to McDonald — who came through Kamloops — and learned the impor-tance of doing something differ-ent to stand out and ultimately help his causes.

“I’d rather suffer a little bit to hopefully get those causes as much funding as pos-sible,” Dostaler said. “A lot of people just haven’t tested them-selves. I’m one who is willing to test myself.”

Dostaler is seek-ing sponsorship from local busi-

nesses before his run in 2015. He needs $25,000 for promo-tions, food and the

occasional hotel stay and hopes to raise $250,000 for his charities.

LOCAL NEWS

By Tim PetrukSTAFF [email protected]

An accused cold-case killer repeatedly denied accusations from the Crown on Monday, March 10, claiming he was lying when he con-fessed the slaying to an undercover cop in 2012.

Rob Smith, 46, is facing one count each of manslaughter and interfering with a dead body in rela-tion to the death of Sandy Charlie, who disappeared from Lytton in December 1999.

Over more than three weeks, a B.C. Supreme Court jury has heard Smith was a suspect in Charlie’s disappearance as early as 2007, but was never arrested due to a lack of evidence.

When Charlie’s body was uncovered accidentally in 2011 by an excavator doing work on Crown

land near Lytton, investigators decided to launch an undercover Mr. Big sting operation.

Court has heard Smith was befriended by a group of undercover Mounties posing as gangsters.

Eventually, he confessed to kill-ing Charlie on the understanding the leader of the fictitious gang could make his criminal problems go away.

Taking the stand in his own defence, Smith said he was lying when he confessed — an attempt to impress the supposed gangsters.

“It was about trying to impress them,” he said, claiming the under-cover officers pressed him to keep going with his story.

“I just didn’t think it was enough for them. They always seemed like they wanted more.”

Crown prosecutor Tim Livingston asked Smith why he

would lie when the supposed gang-sters had already told him he was “one of the guys.”

“I figured they’d look at it like it’s been a long time ago and there hadn’t been any problems up to then,” he said.

“I figured it would get me in.”Livingston then asked Smith why

he would lie to someone he consid-ered a friend — one of the supposed higher-ups in the fictitious criminal organization.

“This is a friend of yours,” Livingston said.

“Yes,” Smith replied.“You told each other you love

each other,” Livingston said.“Yes,” Smith replied.“You’re bros,” Livingston said.“Yes,” Smith replied. “But, I

wanted to get higher in the organi-zation.”

Smith made repeated denials

to Livingston’s contention he was Charlie’s killer.

“When you told those undercov-er officers what happened, you told them the truth,” Livingston said.

“No,” Smith replied. “I told them because I wanted to get in with the organization.”

“You told them this because you were the person who killed Sandy Charlie,” Livingston said.

“No,” Smith replied.Mr. Big operations are elaborate

and expensive undercover investiga-tions in which Mounties pose as members of a fictitious powerful criminal organization and attempt to lure a homicide suspect into their gang.

The four-month investigation tar-geting Smith cost between $173,000 and $212,000, and included trips to Ontario, Montreal and the Yukon.

In his videotaped confession,

Smith told an undercover officer he was angry with Charlie for co-operating with police following a domestic-assault incident involving Smith and his then-girlfriend in April 1999.

In the video, Smith said he punched Charlie, his drinking buddy, until he was unconscious, then dragged him down a flight of stairs, dug a hole and buried his body.

In court, Smith said he knocked Charlie out with three punches after Charlie called Smith a racist name.

Smith said Charlie woke up a few minutes later and left on his own accord.

Crown and defence are slated to make their closing submissions to the jury today [Tuesday, March 11].

Deliberations could begin as soon as Wednesday, March 12.

THE DREAM FINISH was not to be for Kamloops product Jim Cotter.

Skip Kevin Koe and Team Alberta claimed the 2014 Tim Hortons Brier with a 10-5 victory in nine ends over B.C. at Interior Savings Centre on Sunday, March 9.

“Whether it’s in front of your home fans or in front of Winnipeg fans or wherever, it’s no fun. Obviously, you want to win,” said Cotter, the third who throws fourth rocks for B.C.

Skip John Morris and B.C. were outplayed all afternoon by Koe’s rink, which recorded three-enders in the second, fifth and seventh ends to earn a commanding victory.

Cotter said the ice was curling more than it was on Friday, March 7, when B.C. last played, advanc-ing to the championship showdown with a 9-5 win over Koe’s rink in the 1 vs. 2 page playoff game.

“We got caught a little bit with the ice conditions,” said Cotter, a NorKam secondary graduate.

“It was definitely curling a lot more. Maybe, in hindsight, it would have been good to play in

that semifinal.”Koe edged Jean-Michel Ménard

and Quebec 9-8 in the semifinal on Saturday, March 8.

B.C. had a great start on Sunday, scoring two in the first end, but Alberta answered in the second with its first three-ender.

“The first three was the big one,” Koe said.

“We gave up a terrible deuce in

one. We bounced right back.“Jimmy [Cotter] had some

uncharacteristic misses.”The numbers tell much of the

story: Koe shot 92 per cent, Cotter 82 and Morris 72.

“We just missed a couple too many shots early,” Morris said.

“We were just a little bit fooled by the ice.”

Jeff Stoughton and Manitoba won bronze with a 9-5 win over Ménard and Quebec on Sunday morning.

Both the Koe and Morris teams received $40,000, while Stoughton earned $30,000 and Ménard won $20,000.

With the victory, Alberta becomes Team Canada and will

compete at the 2014 World Men’s Curling Championship, which runs from March 29 to April 6 in Beijing.

Attendance was a topic of con-versation throughout the tourna-ment, but the seats were filled — it was standing-room only, with 5,238 fans at ISC — and the building was rocking at Sunday’s final.

In total, 65,005 people attended the Kamloops Brier.

Die-hard B.C. fans cheered to the bitter end, some staying long after the final rock was thrown to show their support for the down-trodden host squad, which came away with silver.

“It’s not too much fun right now,” Cotter said.

“One day we will look back and, hopefully, be proud of this.”

All-star teamsMembers of the Canadian

Curling Reporters selected the first and second all-star teams for the 2014 Tim Hortons Brier.

The first all-star team — skip Jim Cotter, B.C. (throws fourth rocks); third John Morris, B.C. (skips team); second Mark Nichols, Man.; and lead Rick Sawatsky, B.C.

The second all-star team — skip Kevin Koe, Alta.; third Pat Simmons, Alta.; second Tyrel Griffith, B.C. and lead Philippe Ménard, Que.

Tim Bozon is still in an induced coma at Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon, his father, Philippe, told KTW on Monday, March 10.

Bozon, 19, a former member of the WHL’s Kamloops Blazers, was diagnosed with Neisseria meningi-tis and admitted to hospital on Saturday,

March 1.“They’ve been doing

exams today [March 10] and, normally, we get a meeting every morning,” Philippe said.

“One minute it’s like this and one min-ute it changes. Right now, we cannot say anything.”

Philippe added he will make a state-ment when there is new information, perhaps this morning

(March 11).The Blazers are

asking fans to sign a banner for Bozon at the club’s final two home games of the season — on Wednesday, March 12, against Kelowna and on Friday, March 14, against Prince George. Both games will be played at Interior Savings Centre.

The banner will be sent to the Bozon fam-ily in Saskatoon.

Bozon was selected

by the Blazers in the 2011 CHL Import Draft. He played 153 games over two sea-sons with the Blue and Orange, recording 75 goals and 169 points.

He was traded to the Kootenay Ice earlier this season.

Bozon was drafted 64th overall by the Montreal Canadiens in the 2012 NHL draft.

Philippe played in the NHL for the St. Louis Blues.

Tim Bozon gets focused before a playoff game against the Victoria Royals on Vancouver Island in 2012 in his days playing for the Kamloops Blazers. He was diagnosed with Neisseria meningitis and admitted to hospital on Saturday, March 1. There will be a banner to sign in support of Bozon at a pair of upcoming Blazers’ home games. Marty Hastings/KTW

Bozon remains in induced coma with meningitis

Kamloops product Kelly Olynyk has been named Sport B.C.’s male senior athlete of the year.

Also up for the honour was fel-low Kamloopsian Dylan Armstrong and Victoria swimmer Ryan Cochrane.

Olynyk, who was drafted 13th overall in the 2013 NBA draft, plays for the Boston Celtics, averaging 7.6 points and 4.9 rebounds per game.

Olynyk receives provincial honour

BLAZERS WELCOME SOARING ROCKETSThere has not been much to celebrate this season for Collin Shirley and the Kamloops Blazers, but an improbable victory over the Kelowna Rockets would certainly be cause for jubilation. The Blazers and Rockets are set to square off at Interior Savings Centre on Wednesday, March 12. Game time is 7 p.m. Kelowna (54-10-0-4) is the CHL’s No. 1-ranked team, while Kamloops (13-51-2-3) sits last in the WHL’s Western Conference. KTW file photo

LEASE on a 2014 FORD ESCAPE!


It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Jan Eleanor Shand on March 6, 2014 after a courageous and lengthy battle with cancer. Jan is lovingly remembered by her best friend and husband of 45 years, Peter, brother Allen (Carole), daughter Heather (Arlin), and grandsons Benjamin and Nicholas. Her son, Cameron, predeceased her.

Jan was born in Montreal in 1941 and moved to BC with her family at an early age. She was always very proud of her Quebec roots, which was a source of good-natured ribbing through the years. Her school years were spent in New Westminster and she graduated from Lester B Pearson High School. Gifted with a compassionate nature, a career in nursing was a natural calling. She entered training at the Royal Columbian Nursing School in 1959, where many lifelong friendships were formed with her classmates of 62B.

In 1967, she met a young Scots engineer who was passing through BC on a round-the-world trip, which was permanently placed on hold after they met. Jan and Peter were married in 1968, and in 1971 work took them to Quesnel where daughter Heather was born. In 1972 they moved to Kamloops where son Cameron was born in 1974. The family was devastated but grew stronger after the loss of Cameron in 1978 while living in Belize, and returned to Kamloops in 1984 after four years in Prince George.

Jan spent many happier times as one of the fi rst members of the Aberdeen Links Golf Club, where she organized Ladies Day and won the fi rst Aberdeen Open after breaking 100 for the fi rst time. She

also spent a great deal of time at Rivershore playing bridge, which she had learned while in Belize.

She enjoyed a wide circle of friends through these activities and from clients of her “Jan’s Creative Custom Sewing” home business, the majority of which became lasting friends. Her volunteer work with the early Y Women’s Emergency Shelter was a natural extension of her passion for helping others, as was her canvassing work for the BC Cancer Society and

Heart and Stroke Foundation over the years.

Jan was utterly devoted to her family and friends. She left the nursing profession upon becoming a mother to concentrate fully on her young family. She took great joy in creating a thriving household fi lled with music, laughter and love. In later life, her grandsons Benjamin and Nicholas became her greatest joy, and she loved nothing more than spending time with them reading books, answering their many questions and passing her knowledge and unconditional love on to “her boys”.

Unfortunately, these wonderful relationships now change after a valiant eight-year battle with cancer. Throughout this time Jan remained steadfastly optimistic and determined to fi ght, and did not allow her daunting prognosis to diminish her positivity, generosity, kindness and empathy. Through conversations with her many friends over these fi nal weeks, it has become clear that her strength and spirit became an absolute inspiration in the many lives she touched.

We would like to thank Dr. O’Connell, Dr. Weibrick, Dr. Leia-Stephen, Dr. Proctor and the staff of the Kamloops Cancer Clinic, for their exceptional care along this journey. In lieu of fl owers, donations to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House or to BC Cancer Research Centre in Jan’s name are respectfully requested. A celebration of Jan’s life will be held later on this Spring, date to be announced.

Farewell to you my Chicks, soon you must y aloneFlesh of my esh, my future life, bone of my bone

May your wings be strong, may your days be long, safeBe your journey

Each of you bears inside of you the gift of loveMay it bring you light and warmth and the pleasure of giving

Eagerly savour each new day and the taste of its mouthNever lose sight of the thrill

Born and raised in Glenholm, Manitoba, Harold grew up with three brothers; Stan, Bill and Ben and two sisters, Edith and Dorothy. Stan still lives in Selkirk, Manitoba and Edith resides in Ottawa, Ontario. Harold and Eileen met while working at Eaton’s in Winnipeg, married in 1958 and later moved out west, finally settling in Kamloops in 1966.

Harold worked for Woodward’s for many years and later for Arrow Transportation Ltd. He always enjoyed the company of people and in retirement, spent many hours volunteering for the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, Ponderosa Lodge and School District 73. Of great enjoyment to Harold was his participation and volunteer time spent with the Cattle Drive in the 90’s. He rode in nine of the events and made many friends.

Many thanks to Dr. Stinson and Dr. Stoltz, and the very caring and compassionate staff on ward four-north at Royal Inland Hospital. A memorial service is not planned but should friends desire, in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation in his memory.

knew Joan are encouraged to

The ShipI am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is on object of beauty & strength & I stand & watch her, until at length, she is only a speck of white cloud just wheret he seas & sky meet and mingle with each other. Then someone at my side exclaims, “There, she’s gone!”

Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large as she was when she left my side & just as able to bear her load of living freight to the place of her destination. Her diminished size is in me, not her.

And just at the moment when someone at my side says she is gone, there are other eyes watching for her coming and other voices ready to take up the glad shout “There she comes!”.

GOTT, JEAN ELSIEMarch 2, 1924 – February 28, 2014

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Jean Elsie Gott (formerly, Jean Slater, nee Turner) mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. “Jeanie” is predeceased by her husbands, John and Roderick; brothers George, Howard, Allan, Ron and Bill; sisters Isabel and Catherine; son, James and grandson, Paul. Jean is survived by her sister, Marilyn and children, Cathy Liz Slater (Johnny), Jock (Janet) Slater, Cathy Lynne (Alex) Burton, Randy (Pam) Gott, Debby Gott, 11 grandchildren and 18 great grandchildren. Jean spent the fi rst 9 years of her life in Lashburn, Saskatchewan. When the family farm was lost during the depression the family relocated to Vancouver where they lived in a house on Royal Oak Ave in Burnaby. Always outgoing, Jean won a speech and picture girl contest in grade 11 and for a time was lead singer in a swing band with her brother, Allan who played saxophone and clarinet. After graduating from Burnaby Central High School, Jean worked briefl y as a

receptionist before marrying her fi rst husband, John Slater, a civil engineer in 1947. They raised three children while living in Vancouver, Kamloops,

Edmonton and Calgary, where John died of leukemia in 1957 at age 38. Moving to the Coast to be near her family, Jean remarried to Roderick Gott in 1960, joining Rod and his three children in the beautiful home that Rod had built on the Seymour River in North Vancouver. The blended family of eight lived there until 1971. For the next 15 years Rod and Jean travelled

between Burnaby and a cabin they built at Watch Lake, near 100 Mile House in the Caribou. After expanding the cabin they resided full time at

Watch Lake from 1986 before relocating to Kamloops in 1996 and then to Kamloops Seniors Village in 2009. After Rod’s passing in 2012 Jean has been

surrounded and supported by friends and staff at the KSV.As a wife and mother, Jean sewed and quilted, dressing her children and homes with her fabric skills. Later, Jean expressed herself in multiple arts and crafts, including her “signature” tatted watercolour cards, knitting and painted woodwork. Jean will always be remembered for her bright sweaters and scarves, her upbeat nature, her “Turner wit”, and her great desire not to impose on or hurt anyone. Heartfelt thanks to the staff at Kamloops Seniors Village, the Royal Inland Hospital and Ponderosa Lodge who took such good care of Jean during her fi nal bout of declining health. Special thanks to Rosanna and Glen and Maggie and Todd for being there for Jean when her family couldn’t and Dr. Alison Chung.

Mom, you enriched the lives of everyone you encountered and you will be greatly missed.

‘We say not in grief that she is no more, but live in thankfulness that she was.’

A family celebration of Jean’s Life will take place in Vancouver in March. In lieu of fl owers, donations may be made to the charity of your choice.

MARION ELEANOR HARPER (nee JONES)May 29, 1940 – February 26, 2014After a long and diffi cult journey with Alzheimer’s disease, Marion’s noble spirit fi nally took wing and soared into the great beyond . With her devoted family circled around her, she left us, with peace in her heart and the awareness that she was deeply loved.

Marion began her life in our Kamloops hospital on May 29, 1940. Born prematurely, she was placed in an incubator and clothed in brown wrapping paper to keep her warm. But the spark of life was strong, and she quickly grew into an intentioned individual who loved every moment of life and delighted in the company of her family and friends. There was a lovely brilliance about

Marion. She inspired us with her positive energy, her natural ease of manner, and the special way in which she connected with people.

Marion attended schools in Robbins’ Range, Westwold, Monte Lake and Kamloops Secondary, graduating in 1958. In 1945 when one more student was needed to keep the Robbins’ Range school open, she broke the rules by enrolling in grade one when she was only fi ve! Marion loved all things musical, especially singing and playing the cello in the high school symphony orchestra. She and her cello partner, Keith Hanna, were so shy then, that the only words exchanged between them were, “Turn the page!” Marion also loved animals, dancing, drama, wild fl owers, painting, reading, creating costumes with her good friend, Carol Lindner, and the wilderness life at our Dominic Lake cabin. But above all, Marion loved to laugh! And when she did, her beautiful blue eyes sparkled like diamonds.

Marion began her working career at the Bank of Montreal in Kamloops in 1958 and remained in banking on a part time basis for many years. She is survived by Jack, her husband and soul mate of 51 years, their children, Melanie Cook (Hoby), Joyanne Harper (Dale ), Michelle Roberts ( Russell), John Harper (Teresa) and eight grandchildren – Sutherland, Jake, Kody, Karson, Jerin, Jenessa, Jayden, and Johnny. And what an ever present, and loving, wife, mother, and grandma Marion was! She also leaves to mourn her passing, her brother, Terry Jones, and her sister, Lorraine Jones. Marion was predeceased by her parents, Lloyd and Kathleen Jones, her sister, Margaret Daser, and brother, Alan Jones.

Marion believed that example is the greatest teacher in the world; that love is unconditional; and that the purpose of life is to be happy ourselves and to pass that happiness on to others. Marion practised these principles by always giving to the world the best that she had. And the best did come back to her.

Marion’s family wishes to thank Dana and the staff at Ridgeview Lodge and Dr. Ward and the staff at Hillside Centre for Marion’s special care. We also, wish to thank Marie, at Schoenings Funeral Services, for her helpful manner and professional advice. Sleep well, dear Marion.

Donations in Marion’s memory may be made to the Kamloops S.P.C.A. 1211, 8th street

A celebration of Marion’s life will be held on Saturday March 29, 2014 at 2pm at Schoening Funeral Home, 513 Seymour Street, Kamloops B.C.

Doreen passed away peacefully at Berwick on the Park at the age of 90. She was predeceased by her sister Aileen (1974) and husband Sandy (1976). She will be greatly missed by her daughters Diana (Dave) Matheson, and Donna (Brian) Bogetti, and grandchildren Brad, Darren, Dallas and Curtis. Born and raised in Vancouver, Doreen attended U.B.C., where she was a proud member of the sorority Alpha Gamma Delta. She was also active in the University’s Players Club theatre group. She met her future husband Sandy at UBC, and became engaged at age 18. She married Sandy when he returned from the war in 1945, and left her beloved Vancouver to begin their life together in Kamloops. Sandy and Doreen had an active social life with many lifelong friends. Doreen fi rst worked in the probation offi ce in the 1960s. Later, she joined the Family Court division, beginning with the City of Kamloops, and then with the provincial government in the Court Registry. She was appointed Justice of the Peace in 1967, and carried out JP duties in connection with her position until her retirement. Her co-workers considered her a “lovely, classy lady.” An active participant in the Kamloops Y “Heart Throbs” cardiac fi tness class for over 30 years, Doreen formed several close friendships there. She was energetic and lively, always up for a new adventure, and enjoyed taking short holidays with her daughters. She loved theatre, a dinner out, and a nice glass of red wine. Independent her entire life, she lived in her apartment and drove a succession of Hondas until age 87. A great conversationalist, Doreen had an ability to truly listen. She faced challenges in her life with grace and courage, and a strong sense of humour. Doreen was a natural beauty with a kind and gentle spirit. She was an extremely loyal friend, as well as a loving mom and grandma. Her family and friends were everything to her, and she will always be in their hearts. Many thanks to Dr. Schumacher and the Emergency staff of RIH for their professional and compassionate care over the years. The family is grateful to the staff of the Berwick for their wonderful care during Doreen’s fi nal days. Memorial service will be held in later spring. Details will be published.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow,I am the softly falling snow.I am the gentle showers of rain,I am the elds of ripening grain.

I am in the morning hush,I am in the graceful rushOf beautiful birds in circling ight.I am the star-shine of the night.

I am in the owers that bloom,I am in a quiet room.I am in the birds that sing,I am in each lovely thing.

Do not stand at my grave and cry,I am not there – I did not die.

TRU ready for another global celebrationBy Dale Bass

STAFF [email protected]

A chance encounter by a TRU faculty member with a Yale University graduate has resulted in a unique keynote speaker at the institution’s annual International Days.

Clemantine Wamariya was just six years old when tribal genocide broke out in her homeland of Rwanda in 1984. She and her 16-year-old sister hid for 100 days and, when they finally emerged, couldn’t find their family.

They spent six years wandering through various countries in Africa, afraid to return to their war-torn homeland, living in refugee camps and searching for their mother and father.

Eventually giving up, the pair emigrated to the U.S. and tried to continue with their lives.

Clemantine went on to university, the sisters were reunit-ed with their family and new siblings in 2009 during an emotional episode of the Oprah television show — and she now uses her experiences on the lecture circuit.

Kyra Garson, international co-ordinator at the centre for student engagement and learning innovation at Thompson

Rivers University — and a longtime member of the event’s co-ordinating committee — said it learned of Wamariya from the faculty member.

“He was fascinated with her story and asked her if she would come speak at TRU,” Garson said and, in addition to being the keynote speaker today (Tuesday, March 11), she will speak with students and faculty throughout the week.

Her talk is at the Grand Hall in the Campus Activity Centre at 6 p.m.

She’s not the only international visitor to the 21st instal-ment of International Days.

Dr. Arturo Cunanan, program director for leprosy control on the tiny Philippines island of Culion, will speak on the work he has done since 1985 to eradicate the disease at the colony established there in 1898.

He speaks today in the Irving K. Barber Centre at the Brown Family House of Learning from 2:45 p.m. to 4:15 p.m.

Prasit Wangpakapattanawong, an assistant professor of biology at Chiang Mai University in Thailand, will talk about his specialty of forest ecology and reforestation.

He has been at TRU previously, teaching a course in 2005 on tropical-forest ecology.

Campus cultural ‘pot-pourriHe speaks in the Panorama Room of the

International Building on Wednesday, March 12, at 10 a.m.

Laszlo Puczko, an economist specializing in tourism, will present Health, Tourism and Hospitality: Spas, Wellness and Medical Travel

on Thursday, March 13 at 3 p.m. in the Panorama Room.

They’re part of the event’s Guest Scholar Speaker Series, which Garson said was created three years ago.

While she didn’t have statistics going back to the creation of the festival, Garson noted in 1998, there were fewer than 400 international students

at what was then known as University College of the Cariboo.

Now, there are between 1,500 and 2,000, she said, and many will be taking part in the three-day event.

A fashion show on Friday, for example, will feature more than 80 students in their home-land’s traditional garments as part of the wrap-up International Showcase, Fashion Show and Food Fair in the gymnasium.

It runs from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. and is always a popular event with people both on campus and from the community at large, Garson said.

The list of events is long and was published in the Thursday, March 6, edition of KTW on Page A2.

However, Garson said another new partner-ship she’s happy to see evolve comes from the school’s aboriginal education department. Throughout the three days, there will be a stone carver, a Haida carver, a Navajo artist, a soap-stone carver and a Metis artist on what is known as Student Street on at the west end of the Old Main Building.

World-champion hoop dancer Dallas Arcand will lead a workshop and perform.

Garson said there are plenty of other work-shops dealing with subjects like cooking, Afro-Caribbean dancing, Metis storytelling, beading and pine-needle basketry.

Film also plays a role and she’s delighted the organizers are able to show Watermark today in the Alumni Theatre at the Clocktower Building at noon.

The 90-minute documentary, directed by Edward Burtynsky and Jennifer Baichwal, takes a look at how humanity has been shaped by water — and how water has shaped humanity.

On Wednesday, Academy Award-winning 12 Years A Slave will be shown at the theatre at 3 p.m.

The four-day International Days festival wraps up on Friday, March 14, with an International Showcase of entertainment, food and fashion. TRU architecture and engineering student Prathleen Aujla took part in a showcase in the past, presenting a traditional Indian dance. The showcase is in the Thompson Rivers University gymnasium and runs from noon to 8 p.m. KTW file photo

Strombo new host of Hockey Night

CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — George Stroumboulopoulos has officially been announced as the new host of Hockey Night in Canada.

The veteran CBC-TV personality will anchor NHL coverage beginning in October.

It’s the first major personnel change made by Rogers after acquir-ing the NHL rights in a block-buster 12-year, $5.2-billion deal in November.

Don Cherry, Ron MacLean, Daren Millard and Jeff Marek were also announced as “cornerstones’’ of Rogers’ coverage in a news release issued on Monday, March 10.

Cherry and MacLean will con-tinue to host Coach’s Corner every Saturday.

The announcement was timed with the news from CBC that Stroumboulopoulos’s Gemini Award-winning chat show would be can-celled after the completion of its 10th season.

Stroumboulopoulos will host not only the marquee Saturday-night

show, but also other broadcasts on City, Sportsnet and other platforms, Rogers announced.

“Hockey is one of my deep-seated passions and I’m thrilled to be going full circle, returning to my roots in sports broadcasting,’’ Stroumboulopoulos said in a state-ment.

“It’s a dream for me to work with Ron MacLean and Don Cherry, as well as my old friend Jeff Marek, who I started my career with.

“I’m also looking forward to working with Daren Millard and the entire team at Rogers.’’

Lawsuit in way of deal?By Steven Chua

CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — A rep-resentative for striking non-union port truckers is urging Port Metro Vancouver to drop its lawsuit against them in order to restart negotiations.

Manny Dosange, spokes-man for the United Truckers Association, said the lawsuit was a driving factor in the group’s decision Saturday to remain on strike.

Port Metro Vancouver is suing the association, which represents at least 1,000 non-union truckers, over damage caused by what it calls dis-ruptive protesting and prop-erty destruction.

In a statement of claim filed late last month, the port alleges the group damaged container trucks, threatened drivers trying to access port lands and threw rocks and

debris at vehicles.The allegations have not

been proven in court.Dosange said there is no

proof his members were behind the alleged offences, arguing any civil action should wait until a potential criminal investigation is com-plete.

“The lawsuit against us should be dropped,’’ Dosange said.

“There’s no charges laid. No one’s been convicted of anything.’’

The lawsuit names the United Truckers Association of British Columbia, John Doe, Jane Doe and other unknown persons as the defendants.

The labour stoppage started last month, with the asso-ciation calling for better pay, standardized rates to prevent drivers from undercutting one another and the elimination of

long delays at the port.Meanwhile, some 400 or

so unionized truckers serving the same port could be headed to the picket lines, a Unifor official said.

The union has said truck-ers are paid by the load and workers are only able to deliver about three per day.

They need five loads to make ends meet, the union said.

The drivers had threatened to walk out last week and cripple operations at four con-tainer facilities around Metro Vancouver.

Talks with a federally appointed mediator led to a tentative agreement, but mem-bers turned it down in a vote Saturday, with 98 per cent rejecting the proposal.

Port Metro Vancouver is Canada’s largest port and trades $172 billion in goods annually.

Ukrainian-Canadians pressure world powersBy Terry PedwellCANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Ukrainian-Canadians marched in Ottawa on the weekend in an attempt to convince some of the world’s bigger powers to force Russia to release its grip on Ukraine’s Crimea region.

Only France’s ambassador, Philippe Zeller, personally spoke with the dozens of protesters as they waved flags and placards outside the French embassy.

The demonstrations began in front of the Chinese embassy before snaking through the capital to buildings housing dip-lomats from France, the United States and the UK.

Chanting anti-Vladimir Putin slogans and waving placards, they urged the signators of a 1994 nuclear disarmament agree-ment with Ukraine to live up to the accord.

“We are now turning to the guarantors of the Budapest agreement, the countries that promised Ukraine to do every-thing in their capacity to prevent it from economic warfare and to

protect its territorial integrity,’’ said protest spokeswoman Lada Roslycky.

“At this time, they are grossly failing Ukraine’s needs.’’

The Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances was orig-inally signed by Russia, the U.S. and the United Kingdom, giving Ukraine assurances of protec-tion in exchange for giving up its nuclear weapons.

China and France later gave assurances that they would also

live up to the accord’s provi-sions.

“We just want to say that we stand in solidarity with Ukraine and its people,’’ Zeller told protesters outside the French embassy.

But, an advisor to Russian President Vladimir Putin sug-gested the Budapest accord could actually be used by Russia as justification for sending troops into Ukraine to protect people in the Crimean peninsula.

Sergey Glazyev accused the United States of interfering in Ukraine’s internal affairs, saying it left Russia no choice but to intervene.

Canada has made it clear it supports the interim government in Kiev, which Russia said was formed as the result a “coup.’’

Last week, the Harper govern-ment imposed a travel ban on individuals it considered a threat to Ukraine.

Nine Russian soldiers partici-pating in military exercises were also ordered to leave Canada by the end of the day on Friday, March 7.

Canada has sent two mili-tary observers, part of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, to moni-tor the Russian military situation in Ukraine.

But, the OSCE has so far been unsuccessful in getting the observers into Crimea.

They tried three times last week only to be turned back.

Warning shots were fired dur-ing their last attempt to enter the region.

They did not make another

attempt on Sunday and it was unclear whether they would try again any time soon.

Germany’s Angela Merkel joined Harper and other G7 lead-ers in telling Putin that a planned referendum on whether Crimea should join Russia was illegal and violated Ukraine’s constitu-tion.

However, Putin has ignored their entreaties and tightened Russia’s grip further on Crimea, by seizing another border post.

In addition, heavily-armed soldiers wearing military uni-forms with no country markings reportedly sealed off a military airport in Crimea.

Street violence also erupted in the Black Sea port city of Sevastopol after rival pro- and anti-Russia protesters clashed.

U.S. President Barack Obama is scheduled to meet with Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk on Wednesday, March 12, at the White House.

The two will try to find a peaceful resolution to the crisis, while at the same time demon-strating their solidarity.

Avalanche claims life of snowmobiler

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA — Prime Minister Stephen Harper has arrived in Seoul, where he is widely expected to announce a free-trade deal with South Korea.

A South Korean delegation greeted Harper on Monday, March 10, as he stepped off his aircraft after a 20-plus hour trip from Ottawa.

There was no word as of press deadline on whether Harper plans to sign the final text of a free-trade deal with South Korea or is simply

going to announce an agreement-in-principle in a staged photo-op.

A free-trade agreement with South Korea — which Harper said is a gateway to deals with other Asian countries — has been a decade in the making.

One major sticking point is the auto sector, with Canada having a 6.1 per cent tariff on car imports.

Critics fear that if it is removed, the Canadian market would be flooded with Korean-made brands such as Hyundai and Kia.

VERNON — RCMP say a 34-year-old North Okanagan, man has died in hospital after being caught in an avalanche while snowmobiling near Vernon.

Mounties and search and res-cue crews were dispatched to the avalanche site near the Keefer Lake resort on Saturday, March 8.

Police say the man had been snowmobiling with five friends in the area when he was caught in the slide.

Officers say he was buried in several metres of snow and was dug out by friends and other res-cuers.

Gordon Molendyk of the

Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP detachment said emergency crews at the resort helped pull the man out.

He said the man was treated by paramedics, then airlifted to Kelowna General Hospital.

The BC Coroners Service is now investigating.

LAKE AGNES, ALTA — Parks Canada said two snow-shoers died on Saturday, March 8, after being buried in an ava-lanche near Lake Louise.

Another three snowshoers were uninjured.

Officials say the group was at

the bottom of a steep slope and triggered an avalanche on Lake Agnes at about 3 p.m.

They say the three who weren’t caught in the slide called for help on their cellphones and managed to pull one of their companions out.

Parks Canada safety crews took four of the snowshoers away from the site, then trig-gered two more avalanches.

They say once the area was deemed safe, a search dog was brought in to find the remaining snowshoer.

TORONTO — Justin Bieber didn’t attend a court proceeding related to an assault charge he faces in Toronto, but that didn’t prevent his fans from showing up on Monday, March 10.

About a dozen young women gathered at a downtown court-house hoping the Canadian pop sensation would at least be looped

in via a video link — although that didn’t happen either.

Instead, a subsequent hearing was set for April 14 — another proceeding Bieber isn’t obliged to attend in person.

Police allege Bieber hit a lim-ousine driver several times in the back of the head after he and five others were picked up by a limo in

the early hours of December 30.Bieber turned himself in to

Toronto police in January to face the charge, drawing a crowd of jostling journalists and deliriously screaming fans.

The 19-year-old Stratford, Ont., native was charged with one count of assault and spent about two hours in the station.

THIS YEAR’S Canadian Car of the Year announcement

was a bit of a surprise.There were two

Mazdas in the running — the Mazda6 and Mazda3, along with the 2014 Corvette.

And, while the Corvette copped a no-surprise victory weeks earlier in Detroit (no surprise because the Big Three accounted for four of the six finalists), I and a lot of colleagues thought the Mazda3 was going to take it.

The Mazda6 won, not undeservedly so, but it was the smaller sibling, I believe, that really knocked it out of the park.

Let’s start with the exterior, where Mazda3 is now the third model — after the Mazda6 and CX-5 — to receive the company’s “Kodo” design makeover.

The all-new model, like Corolla and some of today’s fresher com-pacts, no longer even hints at entry level. Mazda3 never suffered from the “jellybean” styling that once infect-ed its segment, but the new design language creates an exterior that is now more sleek and curvy, with numerous undulations and reflec-tions that flow over the body surface.

The sedan’s overall shape is athletic: long bonnet, compact cabin and short rear deck.

Or in the case of the Sport (a.k.a. hatchback),

no rear deck. Large wheel open-

ings with flared fend-ers are pushed to the corners and house either 16- or 18-inch wheels, depending on trim.

Compared to the one it replaces, the third-generation model is also wider, lower and has a longer wheelbase, with all of the above creating a firmly planted stance that hints at the “zoom-zoom” one still expects from this brand.

I’m pleased that the signature “smiley” grille has been deep sixed.

Its chrome-trimmed replacement is better proportioned and is flanked by sleek projec-tor headlamps that fol-low the contours of the front fenders.

There’s some addi-tional exterior bling, like available LED running lights and taillights, and signal repeaters in the side mirrors, not to mention standard dual exhausts in the rear.

In the Sport, these get chrome finish-ers and are proudly displayed. The Sedan unfortunately hides them under the rear fascia.

The Mazda3 lineup comes in three flavours: base GX, mid-level GS and top-trim GT.

The entry GX sedan with six-speed manual starts at $15,995; GS with manual starts at $19,695; and the GT, which comes only with six-speed automatic, is $25,855.

The hatchback adds $1,000 to each of these trim levels.

All Mazda3 models are now powered by Skyactiv powertrains that benefit from less friction, lighter weight, 4-2-1 exhaust systems, higher compression ratios, and tweaks to the injectors, pistons and timing, not to mention getting more muscle. GX and GS vehicles are equipped with a 2.0L DOHC four cylinder

that produces 155 hp and 150 lb/ft of torque — an increase of 7 hp and 15 lb/ft over last year’s base engine.

The GT gets a big-ger boost thanks to Skyactiv. Its 2.5-litre four cylinder now deliv-ers 184 hp and 185 lb/ft — up from 167 and 168.

For the budget-mind-ed, the entry Mazda3 provides most of the basics like keyless entry, power windows, tilt/telescopic steering, six-way manual adjust for the driver’s seat, Bluetooth, four-speaker audio with steering wheel controls, and auto-off headlights.

There’s even a few extras like the previ-ously mentioned dual exhausts and push-button start.

I appreciate the latter feature, but am never sure what to do with the keys.

Indeed, there are many reasons why Mazda sells so many

of these vehicles (more than 40,000 last year), and continues to rack up awards like AJAC’s Best Small Car Under (and over) 21K.

And although it only managed fourth place in compact car sales, the 2014 Mazda3 is definitely no follower in the highly competitive compact car segment.

AUTO MARKET

Mazda refi nes its game-changing compact

In GT trim, the Mazda3 interior is definitely “class above”. Two-toned perforated leather, abun-dant soft touch materials, double stitching, chrome accents and brushed metallic trim pieces lend an upscale look that wouldn’t be out of place in a near-luxury European sports sedan.

Rosso Tuscano • ItalyTHE REGIONThe vineyards of the Tuscany wine region are some of the fi nest in Italy with a warm dry climate and a long growing season. The steep, well drained slopes of the vineyards benefi t from both the blazing Tuscan sun and maritime winds, producing aromatic wines of exceptional complexity.

THE WINERosso Tuscano is a bold and fl avourful new proprietary blend. It is dry and medium bodied, with rich fl avours of sour cherry, leather, spice, and cocoa.

THE FOODRosco Tuscano is the perfect companion for leg of lamb, strong cheeses, or slow roasted beef.
