Kamloops This Week Jan. 14, 2014

By Tim PetrukSTAFF [email protected]

An arrest has been made in connection to the murder of a teen-aged girl who was found dead in Kamloops 13 months ago.

Damien Lawrence Wayne Taylor, 22, has been charged with murder in relation to the death of his then-girlfriend, 16-year-old C.J. Fowler.

Taylor was taken into custody by members of the Kamloops RCMP detachment’s serious-crime unit in Kelowna, where he had been liv-ing, on Friday, Jan. 10, one day after a warrant had been issued for his arrest.

Fowler’s body was found on Dec. 5, 2012,

just off a road in Guerin Creek, east of the Summit Connector.

She was in Kamloops visiting friends, having travelled by bus from her home-town of Terrace.

Investigators have not said how Fowler was killed.

The announcement of the arrest was made on Sunday, Jan. 12, by Kamloops RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller, who read a prepared statement and did not take ques-tions.

Fowler’s father, Glen Wilson, also read an emotional statement, flanked by Matilda Fowler, C.J.’s mother.

Wilson said the two were in Kamloops this weekend to bless the location where Fowler’s body was located, but were then told by Mounties an arrest had been made.

“When we were told, me and Matilda actually both sighed at the same

time — a sigh of relief, happiness,” Wilson said.

“Matilda actually wanted to jump, dance and scream, but she was afraid that the camera was going, the micro-phone was going in the room [at the Kamloops RCMP detachment].”

Wilson said the arrest brings some closure to Fowler’s family, which has struggled in the year since she was killed.

“We prayed day and night, before we went to bed and before we got up in the morning,” he said.

“Our prayers and thoughts have been answered Friday, when we were told. We’re just so overwhelmed at the work the Kamloops RCMP has done.”

In his statement, Mueller took issue with “social media” critics who called out investigators for not working hard enough on Fowler’s case.

THIS WEEKThompson River Publications Partnership Ltd.

This is the first week the Kamloops Daily News will not be published as the venerable newspaper was delivered for the final time on Saturday, Jan. 11 (see story on page A16).

However, it must be noted Kamloops This Week will contin-ue to be published and delivered to the doorsteps of the homes in the Tournament Capital.

When the Daily News announced its imminent closure, KTW realized the need to help fill the void being left.

As such, readers and advertisers will see a new and improved and expanded KTW as we return to publishing three times per week.

Foremost among the growth of our newspaper is the hiring of three Kamloops Daily News reporters.

We are very happy Catherine Litt, Cam Fortems and Adam Williams have joined our newsroom team this week as we begin our Tuesday, Thursday and Friday publishing schedule.

In addition to a expanded newsroom, KTW is proud to soon bring readers the vaunted New York Times crossword and an improved comics package.

While KTW is and will continue to be a newspaper, website and social-media hub for local news, we have also heard from Kamloopsians who desire local news be complemented by pro-vincial and national news and sports.

To that end, we are excited to announce our expanded local news coverage will be augmented by provincial and national news, courtesy of a national wire service.

Within a few editions, readers and advertisers of our 26-year-old newspaper will be able to catch up on news from city hall and the legislature while turning the page to get caught up on news from the Kamloops Blazers, high school sports and the Vancouver Canucks.

We have much more planned as we move forward — into this new era of media coverage in Kamloops.

We invite you to join us on this journey and, as always, email [email protected] if you have any questions, news tips or story ideas.

Thank you very much for reading Kamloops This Week.We look forward to seeing many more ink-stained hands

across the Tournament Capital.

Union set to vote on city contractBy Andrea Klassen

STAFF [email protected]

Unionized workers at the City of Kamloops could have a new contract by Wednesday, Jan. 15.

City CAO David Trawin said members of CUPE Local 900 will meet on Monday, Jan. 13, to review the terms of the new deal, with a ratification vote set for Wednesday.

City council has already ratified the terms.

The city’s previous contract with the union expired on Dec. 31, 2013.

Trawin said the new deal was tentatively reached just before Christmas.

While he wouldn’t get in to specifics, Trawin said the deal won’t require major

revisions to the city’s budget as delibera-tions begin in earnest at city hall.

“I don’t think it makes much change to the budget. We knew there were negotia-tions,” he said.

“We’re always diligent putting numbers in and there’s enough changes in the budget with things going up and down that it’ll kind of balance out, anyway.”

Trawin called negotiations between the two sides respectful, noting both the city and the union moved from their initial posi-tions to come to an agreement.

“I guess I’m satisfied and I’m not satis-fied, and I know the union’s satisfied and not satisfied, which probably means we’ve got a pretty reasonable settlement,” Trawin said.

Kamloops is working on getting a new contract signed just as Prince George

reached an agreement with its unionized empoyees.

Prince George council ratified the agree-ment that saw union members vote 88 per cent in favour of the deal.

The term of the agreement on Prince George is from Jan. 1, 2013, through to December 31, 2016, with a 0.5 per cent lump-sum payment for 2013; a 0.75 per cent wage increase for 2014; a two per cent wage increase for 2015 and a two per cent increase for 2016.

If CUPE agrees to the contract in Kamloops, the city will have a short break before it returns to the bargaining table.

Arbitration with the city’s firefighters is scheduled to being in mid-April.

The firefighters have been without a contract since Dec. 31, 2010.

Gaglardi contractor says he was told to get rid of hard drive


A contractor hired to complete renovations at a waterfront Savona property owned by Tom Gaglardi was told to throw his computer hard drive “in the lake” when federal officials began looking into poten-tial environmental infractions at the site, a judge has been told.

Gaglardi — the 46-year-old owner of the NHL’s Dallas Stars and majority owner of the WHL’s Kamloops Blazers — is charged alongside his father, Bob Gaglardi, and his company, Northland Properties Corporation, with two counts of harmful alteration of a fish habitat in relation to work done on the property in 2010.

The charges allege the accused broke federal law by first clearing and then filling land — actions “that resulted in the harmful alteration, disruption or destruction of fish habitat, the foreshore of Kamloops Lake.”

The trial in Kamloops provincial court began on Monday, Jan. 13.

Taking the stand on the trial’s first day was Jim Parks, a contractor who was the site superintendent at the Savona property for its renovations in 2010 and 2011.

“I was told it was a small renovation,” Parks said, noting the property was referred to by Northland employees as “Tom’s Shack.”

“We were told to remove some cupboards and take the carport roof off.”

According to Parks, the scale of the job then began to grow by leaps and bounds.

“Plans started coming in for larger construction,” he said. “We ended up putting on a two-storey addition.”

Parks said other work was also done on the prop-erty.

He said he was told Tom’s Shack was owned by Tom Gaglardi, but noted he was paid by Northland.

Court heard Tom Gaglardi visited the site multiple times while construction was ongoing and remained in close contact with Parks.

Parks said he was ordered in early 2011 — as the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans was investigating Gaglardi’s property — by Northland to destroy packing slips for construction plans and to get rid of his computer hard drive.

COVER PAGE STORY

“We have kept C.J.’s family a part of this inves-tigation to make sure they always knew we were there,” Mueller said.

“Hopefully, those who were quick to castigate and criticize the RCMP . . . will now avail them-selves to follow the truth and the facts of this case through the courts.”

Taylor has a brief criminal history, including a handful of convictions in Northern B.C.

He was charged with robbery following an incident in Vanderhoof on Jan. 24, 2010, and later convicted of the lesser charge of theft under $5,000 and placed on a one-year probation term.

In March 2012, Taylor was jailed for 15 days after pleading guilty to three breach charges in Prince George.

Two months later, he pleaded guilty to another breach charge and two counts of possession of a controlled substance, all relating to incidents in Prince George.

He was handed a jail sentence totaling 34 days.Police believe Taylor and Fowler had been

involved in a dating relationship prior to Fowler’s murder and that the two had travelled together to Kamloops from Terrace.

Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said Taylor was living in Terrace prior to Fowler’s mur-der, but had since moved to Kelowna.

Taylor will next be in court in Kamloops on Monday, Jan. 27.

LOCAL NEWS

The theft of knives from Wholesale Sports on Notre Dame Drive on Friday, Jan. 10, led to store employees giving chase and collaring three of the four suspects — one of whom cut himself with one of the stolen knives.

The incident occurred at about 1 p.m. when four men stole knives from the outdoors store, setting off a security alarm as they left.

Wholesale Sports staff gave chase in a vehicle and caught up to the sus-pects east on Notre Dame Drive, across from Hillside Cemetery.

One suspect pulled a knife as staff members approached, but managed only to wound himself in the hand.

The store employees managed to take the knife away and subdue three of the four suspects.

The fourth suspect ran away and was being sought by police tracking dogs.

Sun’s rays blamed for crashesGlare from the sun is being blamed

by drivers of vehicles involved in colli-sions on the North Shore on Saturday, Jan. 11, within an hour of each other.

One involved two cars on the Halston Con nector at 9:23 a.m., when

an eastbound Cadillac collided with a Honda Civic travelling south at the intersection of Salish Road and the connector.

The driver of the Cadillac, her pas-senger and the driver of the Honda were taken to Royal Inland Hospital for treatment.

At about 10 a.m. that day, another two-car collision took place at the inter-section of Fortune Drive and Nelson Avenue when a southbound Ford Fusion hit a westbound Honda Civic.

The Honda’s driver was taken to RIH for treatment.

• The RCMP rural detachment issued two traffic tickets during a two-hour targeted-enforcement check on Saturday, Jan. 11, on the Halston Connector. From 11 p.m. to 1 a.m., offi-cers stopped more than 50 cars, issuing one prohibition notice and one 90-day suspension for drinking and driving.

Police remind drivers the posted limit on that roadway is 70 km/h.

Mounties deal with explosive situationBattle Street was closed in

front of the Kamloops RCMP detachment on Monday, Jan. 13, as local Mounties awaited the arrival of an explosives team from the Lower Mainland to deal with an incendiary device on the building’s front steps.

RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said the device was dropped off at the detachment by a pair of concerned citizens.

“A couple of ladies had found this package in a home where one of them was a co-tenant, and they thought, ‘This thing doesn’t look right,’” he said.

“When our guys went out and had a look at it, they said, ‘Yeah, it does look very suspicious.’”

Learned said the officers pho-tographed the package and sent the images to the RCMP bomb unit in Vancouver, who told them

to establish a 30- to 50-foot perimeter.

The detachment is in a residential and commercial area, with a day-care centre across the street.

An officer placed an RCMP bullet-proof vest over the pack-age as a precaution.

The detachment and Battle

Street between Fifth and Sixth avenues was closed pending the bomb unit’s findings.

Learned said the unit’s offi-cers were waiting to board am afternoon flight from Vancouver to Kamloops

City names Jen Fretz new public-works directorThe newest face in

the City of Kamloops’ senior staff lineup will be a familiar one.

Jen Fretz, formerly the city’s trades and environmental-services manager, is moving up the ladder to head up the city’s public-works department.

Previous depart-ment head Tracy Kyle

left the post in the fall, after about a year with the city.

She replaced David Duckworth, who took over the city’s corpo-rate services and com-munity-safety depart-ment when its former head, Len Hyrcan, retired in 2012.

In her previ-ous role, Fretz was

charged with walking council through the city’s sustainability efforts, from its air-shed management plan to changes to garbage and recycling collec-tion.

Fretz has also served as the city’s point person on the Ajax mine file, sit-ting on the techni-

cal working group struck by the provin-cial Environmental Assessment Office as part of the copper and gold mine’s review process.

That particular responsibility will be staying with her, even with the promotion, Fretz told KTW via email.

Two-week spring break likelyBy Andrea Klassen


The ball is in the court of the Kamloops-Thompson Teachers’ Association (KTTA) on what a new school cal-endar will look like.

Kamloops-Thompson school district Supt. Terry Sullivan said that to implement what the majority of parents have indicated they want — a two-week spring break — the board will have to make adjustments not

allowed under the exist-ing labour contract.

Sullivan said negotia-tions were held with the KTTA last week and as recently as Monday morning (Jan. 13), not-ing discussions now have to go back to the union executive and, if it approves them, on to the general membership.

Sullivan said a deci-sion by the board must be made by its next meeting, scheduled for Monday, Jan. 27, to be able to post the calendar by the end of February,

as required by the B.C. School Act.

The standardized calendar was done away with in 2012 and legis-lation was changed to allow boards of educa-tion to create unique calendars, as long as the number of teaching days and hours conform to the rest of the school act.

Sullivan said 80 per cent of the 90 submis-sions received from the public indicated par-ents wanted no change except the longer break.

The two-week break would not apply to the school at Sun Peaks, which already has a calendar of four school days a week for longer hours.

The proposal pre-sented to trustees last month included options to shorten lunch periods to increase instructional hours at schools.

At the elementary level, for example, the day would have six 45-minute and one 24-minute teaching blocks, a shortened

lunch (51 minutes) and one 15-minute recess.

When the report was presented in December, KTTA president Jason Karpuk said the union is not opposed, but wants to ensure there will be no loss of income for on-call teachers and no impact on professional development.

Sullivan said he has no idea how the KTTA will deal with the plan and Karpuk could not be reached for com-ments as of KTW’s press deadline.

Compressed natural-gas buses on the wayBy Andrea Klassen


It appears as though the Tournament Capital is set to become the next testing ground for BC Transit’s new compressed natural gas-

powered (CNG) buses.Transportation

Minister and Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone will announce on Friday, Jan. 17, that the city will get a new transit fleet.

Also scheduled to

speak at the event are FortisBC executive vice-president Doyle Sam and BC Transit president and CEO Manuel Achadinha.

This past summer, BC Transit announced the Regional District of Nanaimo would get 25

of the CNG buses by the spring of 2014.

At the time, Achadinha told media BC Transit wants to see 35 per cent of its provincial fleet, about 1,000 buses, swapped for the natural-gas mod-els.

The company said fuel for the buses is cheaper and has better price stability.

The buses are also quieter to run.

Kamloops, which was also in the running for the first CNG fleet, was one of the commu-

nities being studied for a possible second phase of the swap.

When BC Transit first announced it was looking to build a CNG fleet, company spokeswoman Meribeth Burton told KTW the new vehicles would

require a special fuel-ling station, estimated to cost about $2 million, though Fortis BC grants might be available to cover some of the costs.

She said the new buses could save up to 30 per cent on fuel costs.

Meet Our New Project Manager

KGHM International is pleased to announce new leadership for the Ajax Project in Kamloops.

WARNER UHL assumes control of the Ajax Project in Kamloops as project manager starting immediately.

Warner was named project manager following the recent departure of Mark Blakely, who held the post temporarily as a permanent manager was sought. Warner will lead the Ajax Project development team through the study, design and execution phases of the proposed copper-gold mine.

Warner has extensive experience in mining, with a career spanning 30 years. Most recently, he held the post as project director at Fluor-AMEC’s Mt. Milligan, a $1.6-billion copper-gold project northwest of Prince George, which received a B.C. environmental assessment certificate in 2009 and began construction in 2010. He has also supervised or directed mining projects in the Northwest Territories and Australia.

“(The Ajax Project) is a great project,” he said. “It is very similar to the Mt. Milligan project. This is an environmentally viable, economically sound project that will create a great deal of employment in Kamloops.”

Warner believes strongly in serving the community. He has worked on the Board of Directors for B.C. Children’s Hospital and was a Big Brother for eight years. He was a board member of the Alberta Owner’s Construction Association and President of the B.C. Construction Round Table.

Warner’s interests include downhill skiing, hockey, basketball, golf, sailing and mountain biking. Warner is married and has four children: Kiva, Tori, Rudy and Carson. Three of them attend university and participate in varsity sports. Warner and his wife Claire look forward to living in the City of Kamloops and enjoying all the amenities offered in the community.

“I’m extremely excited to be in Kamloops, to have the opportunity to live and work in this great community. I’m looking forward to the people and the opportunities,” Warner said.

“And I’m looking forward to playing hockey here.”


This is why winter bugs all of us

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

K A M L O O P S THIS WEEKVIEWPOINT

It happens every year about this time – the flu bug hits.

It’s nothing new as the flu comes and goes every year.

Some of us get it, others avoid it.

The only difference is these new strains of influenza are causing concern for a differ-ent age group, particularly as deaths occur.

It seems in the past, when an elderly person died from the flu, it was too often chalked up to old age and, possibly,

not taken as seriously.

However, now that this strain is hit-ting younger generations,

there appears to be more of a panic.

Dr. Rob Parker, medical health officer with Interior Health Authority, said it seems to be hitting young adults and pre-schoolers this year.

Parker pointed out the recent death in the Okanagan of a woman in her 50s shows this strain can be serious for the middle-aged, not just seniors.

Pre-schoolers are at risk for the simple fact many of them have never been exposed to H1N1; therefore, they have not built up any immunity to it.

Parker did say the vast majority of parents out there are getting their children immunized.

Those who are dead set against the shot will never be swayed, he added, while oth-ers perhaps just don’t have the right information.

The flu shot can’t make you sick.

There can be some side effects, but aren’t they better than taking the risk of possible death?

Another bonus for parents worried about the pain of a needle for their children — there is actually a vapour (a quick quirt up the nose) for little ones.

Go ahead, get immunized.

Prime Minister Harper rapped for all the wrong reasonsPRIME MINISTER

Stephen Harper’s latest visit to B.C. was portrayed as these things are today:

Besieged by protesters, hiding from an ever-vigilant media, cynically campaigning for the 2015 federal election.

TV couldn’t get enough of the two “environmental activists” who dressed as waiters to slip onstage at a business breakfast in Vancouver.

They’re not environmentalists, just all-purpose protesters using the fla-vour of the month.

They are associated with a group calling itself No One Is Illegal, a col-lection of anarchist kooks that wants to do away with national borders and, of course, capitalism.

As their now-famous sign said, they want “climate justice now.”

Organizer Brigette DePape explained to a co-operative CBC-TV host the recent typhoon in the Philippines that killed thousands of people was caused by global warm-ing, which, of course. is caused mainly by the Alberta “tar sands.”

I won’t dwell on this routine idi-ocy, except to say the number of hurricanes that struck North America in 2013 was zero — and that hasn’t happened since 1994.

Also, “climate justice” is like “social justice,” in that both require confiscation of earned wealth.

DePape is the former Senate page fired in 2011 for a similar sign stunt.

She is now a professional Harper hater, with support from the U.S.-based Tides Foundation, among oth-ers.

One of the issues Harper didn’t take questions on was the consolida-tion of 11 federal-fisheries libraries into two, one of them in Sidney.

This is portrayed as part of Harper’s so-called “war on sci-ence” and has been compared with the Romans burning the library of Alexandria in ancient Egypt.

Fisheries Minister Gail Shea defended the cost-cutting measure by pointing out almost all access to these libraries is now digital, so maintaining 11 duplicated sets of printed reports is a waste of taxpayer dollars.

An anonymous federal scientist fired back on his blog that the head of one of these libraries retired before the contents could even be catalogued, much less completely digitized for online access.

So, this material wasn’t even properly organized? Users were sup-posed to browse until they stumbled on something pertinent?

The ministry reported that the average number of people other than federal-fisheries staff who used these libraries averaged between five and

12 per year. That’s for all 11 facilities combined. And, if anyone has even one example of information that was available and isn’t now, they should identify it.

Harper’s got plenty to answer for, no question.

To take one of many examples, spending our borrowed money on TV ads for a Canada Job Grant program that hasn’t even been introduced in Parliament, much less set up, isn’t just wasteful — it’s dishonest and cruelly misleading to the unemployed people the ads pretend to offer help.

Harper’s visit to B.C. added a couple of scripted events, start-ing with softball questions at the Vancouver business breakfast. Then he was off to a photo-op at the Kinsol trestle on Vancouver Island, where he announced three more years of fund-ing for the Trans-Canada Trail.

I’m as relieved as anyone that Harper is not killing this modest federal project that started in 1992, but this is not news. It was a fake public event to justify the cost of a trip so Harper could address a new Conservative riding association.

And how is the federal defi-cit after eight years of tight-fisted Conservative rule?

We’re only borrowing about $1 billion a month now, down from the Harper government all-time record deficit of $55 billion in 2009.

Some cost cutting is in order, all right.

I have made a few amendments to the questionnaire, changes I hope will allow everyone who has received the package to tell KGHM exactly how they really feel about its proposed massive open-pit mine within our community.

For those who have received the package and have not discarded the questionnaire, I have made a slight amendment.

The Kamloops-Thompson school district is ready to share with the public specifics on some of the courses that could be offered at NorKam Trades and Technology Centre when it opens in September.

The board is holding a meeting for potential students in grades 10 and 11 and their parents on Wednesday, Jan. 15, at 7 p.m. in the cafeteria of the school, located at 730 12th St. in North Kamloops.

Courses being considered include:• A civil-engineering sampler: Designed to give

students a basic understanding of four areas of engineering, including concepts, management, esti-mating and structural analysis.

• Commercial-driver training program: An intro-ductory course that provides a hands-on experience teaching about operating, safety, driving techniques and other components of an industry that is expect-ed to see a shortage of up to 30,000 professional drivers in the country, up to 4,500 of them in B.C., in the next few years.

• Mining-technology: A partnership with the B.C. institute of Technology on subjects including an introduction to the minerals industry, physical

geology, environmental applications and mining and oil certification.

• A construction sampler: Again, hands-on, dealing with plumbing, carpentry, electrical and industrial-instrumentation mechanics.

• A mechanical sampler: Including automo-tive service, heavy-duty/commercial-transport and motorcycle technicians and welding.

• A resume-certification program: Four 120-hour courses that further develop skills in workplace safety, equipment certification, mining and oil, and construction and forestry. The program would see students receive certificates in a variety of areas, including air-brakes, ski-steering, WHMIS, first-aid, construction safety, flagging and traffic control and transportation of dangerous goods.

Sheryl Lindquist, the district principal for transi-tions, said the program is distinct and separate from other secondary school programming.

In general, she said, each program involves four courses. Students would attend the centre for one semester and then return to their home schools.

The goal is to create something representing a real work environment so there would be no bells chiming to move on.

Instead, they would continue at their work, per-haps having to postpone a break for a while or take on earlier in the day.

“I was asked to have my hard drive removed and then to throw the old hard drive in the lake,” Parks said, noting he did not follow the order, which he said came from one of Tom Gaglardi’s employees at Northland.

Court heard Parks’ computer was destroyed in 2012 in a truck crash that landed him in hospital.

According to Parks, he was ordered by Gaglardi to keep working on the project even after the Thompson-Nicola Regional District issued a stop-work order pending the results of

the DFO investigation.Tom and Bob Gaglardi sat quietly in the court-

room on the trial’s first day, occasionally jotting down notes, checking their cellphones and whis-pering comments to each other.

The Crown expects to call six witnesses dur-ing the trial, which is scheduled to wrap up on Wednesday, Jan. 15.

Northland is the company behind the large Sandman Signature hotel development on Lorne Street in downtown Kamloops, which is appar-ently nearing completion.

Work by city crews before the recent warm spell prevented any sur-prise flooding with Monday’s rain.

Mike Firlotte, city utilities services manager, said crews were out Monday with one or two vacuum trucks to clean up “nuisance puddles” in low-lying areas, but there were no signifi-cant water problems.

“Crews go out and clear catch basins before we run into problems.”

Environment Canada meteorologist Doug Lundquist said there will be sig-nificantly more melting for as long as 10 to 12 days.

Temperatures in Kamloops were expected to reach a high of 7C Monday, far below Kelowna’s 15C.

The warm weather is caused by a subtropical westerly flow. While that flow will move north in the next few days, temperatures are nonetheless expected to range upwards of 4C.

“This system is going to be with us for a while.”

Firlotte said the city will continue to handle nuisance pooling of water but doesn’t expect flooding.

The Kamloops SPCA is open regular hours again, but continues to monitor a few animals after a ringworm outbreak, dogs are still not up for adop-tion and no animals are being taken in.

Tests continue on the animals, said branch man-ager Charleen Holloway.

The shelter was closed in November after an outbreak of the parasite and thought it had the all-clear, reopening in late December, until a test that originally came back negative gave a positive result.

Normal practice is to take stool samples from animals and grow cultures for two weeks to deter-mine if the ringworm exists. However, the clinic used continues to grow the cultures and one of the earlier tests resulted in reduced hours and some animals back in quarantine at the end of December.

The shelter is open Mondays to Saturdays from noon to 4:30 p.m.

People who want to surround an animal can advise the shelter and will be told when it is open for intake again.

By Andrea KlassenSTAFF REPORTER

A funeral director with an unconventional business plan is hop-ing an appeal to city council will inject some life back into his plans for a Seymour Street property.

Drake Smith, president of North Thompson Funeral Services Ltd., wants to set up a funeral arrange-ment office at 905 Seymour St.

While the office

would be purely for making arrangements — embalming would take place at one of Smith’s offices in Clearwater or Barriere and memorial ser-vices would be held in churches or community halls — neighbours opposed the project because Smith planned to store dead bodies at the site before crema-tion.

Under B.C. law, a body must be held for 48 hours before it can be cremated.

In a letter to council,

Smith said he’s willing to use the site purely for funeral arranging, and will keep deceased people elsewhere.

Council originally voted down Smith’s proposal by a margin of five to three, with many councillors citing the dead bodies, and the neighbourhood’s feelings about them, as a driving factor in their votes.

Council will decide if it wants to reconsider their position at their regular meeting today (Jan. 14).

Funeral director back at city hall

The GPS on a truck stolen from Kamloops played a part in helping Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP cap-ture a pair of suspects Sunday.

At around 7 a.m., officers were alerted to a stolen white Ford F250 from Kamloops may be headed toward Vernon.

“The truck was being tracked by its GPS,” said Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk.

Officers set up on Highway 97 to locate, identify and hopefully stop the truck without causing suspicion to the driver.

Information from the GPS showed the truck was travelling at speeds of up to 130 km/h.

“The truck was identified and initially allowed to pass our mem-bers then followed at a distance that remained out of site of the driver and lone passenger,” said Molendyk.

“Our officers radioed ahead to oth-ers in Vernon.”

The truck entered into city limits where one officer in an unmarked vehicle was used to track the move-ments and to let officers know where

it was heading to set up to arrest the suspects.

At one point, the driver swerved into the unmarked police car.

“These actions caused the truck to drive onto the shoulder of the road and into a tree,” said Molendyk, add-ing this happened in the area of 36th Avenue and 36th Street near Alexis Park.

The driver of the truck, a 34-year-old man from the Hope area, was arrested with the assistance of the police service dog team. He gave up without incident when the dog closed in.

A woman in the truck, a 33-year-old from Chilliwack, was chased down by an officer after attempting to flee the scene.

Molendyk said the man is on parole and has been remanded in cus-tody. The woman was released on a province to appear in court. Multiple charges are being recommended on both suspects.

Nobody was injured and there was only minor damage to the stolen truck and police car.

GPS leads cops to stolen truckBy Cam FortemsSTAFF [email protected]

The regional district is already getting calls about dangerous dogs after a new bylaw came into effect Jan. 1.

But, it has yet to deal with its first official complaint.

“We’ve had a couple calls but they’ve been from out of area,” said Ron Storie, manager of community services for TNRD.

Under the new bylaw, only four areas — Pinantan-North Pritchard, two in the Nicola Valley and the Spences Bridge region — are covered.

Calls thus far this year have come from outside those areas.

TNRD politicians argued for years about the merits of a dangerous-dog bylaw.

John Sternig, director for the area including Pinantan and North Pritchard, said he was a late convert to the idea.

“I was on the other side of the fence,” he said.

“When I started to do research on my area, I realized that in clusters there were problems.”

Sternig said problems with dangerous dogs typically occur in dense areas, such as Pinantan, where neighbours are living in a spread-out suburb of nearly 1,000 people.

Under the new measure RCMP is expected to be the first point of contact.

Storie and Sternig emphasized the bylaw doesn’t cover nuisance dogs nor does it penalize animals for aggressive behavior on its owner’s property.

It is meant to cover attacks on dogs or people, for example, whether on public or neighbour-ing private property.

The city of Kamloops dog bylaw is more comprehensive, with ability to designate a dog as dangerous with demands that an owner place a muzzle on a dog when it is off-property and that it also be held in a secure enclo-sure, inspected by the city.

Storie said under the regional

district’s bylaw those conditions may be placed on owners, but under an order from a provincial court judge.

Coun. Pat Wallace, also a director on the TNRD board, said the regional-district bylaw is less restrictive because rural areas have different expectations.

“Dogs run loose,” she said. “I lived on a farm in Barriere

in summer. Our dogs were never contained.”

But, Wallace said, the new bylaw will give comfort to those living in the four rural areas.

“Without a bylaw we were told RCMP couldn’t be called.”

If owners consent, a danger-ous dog could be put down in as little as seven days.

There are also appeal provi-sions.

The regional district has contracted a company to handle animal control complaints.

Storie stressed the first line of contact is with RCMP, who can begin to log file numbers in cases of multiple complaints.

Canada Post will delay community-mailbox feeBy Andrea Klassen


Canada Post’s efforts to charge developers for new community mail-boxes are unlikely to fly if the organiza-tion doesn’t make some major changes to its business plan, according to the president of the Central Interior chap-ter of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association.

The new $200-per-unit fee was to have come into effect on Jan. 1, 2014, but now won’t take effect until 2016.

Canada Post wants to use the fee, which would be charged to new home builders, to install community mailboxes in new neighbourhoods.

Until now, there has been no fee for installing the boxes.

Local CHBA president Matt McCurrach said his organization isn’t going to stop fight-ing the fee.

“The CHBA locally and provin-cially and across the country is going to be opposing this,” he said. “This is an interim victory.”

McCurrach said developers have given Canada Post land for the mail-boxes free of charge

until now, arguing it doesn’t make sense for Canada Post to begin charging for a mail system it wants to implement.

“Canada Post has decided to make every home, new or old, in the country adapt this new sys-tem of the commu-nity mailboxes,” he said.

“So, they have to get their own house in order right now.

“They’ve obvious-

ly got their problems and one of them is going to be how can they charge a brand-new house $200 when, literally across the street, they’re going to provide the same service for nothing?”

McCurrach said charging developers penalizes those buy-ing new homes, who will eventually feel the burden of the extra fee.

“They’re really

going to have to scratch their head and figure this out,” he said. “I don’t see how they can have an imbalanced sys-tem like that.

“They’re either going to have to charge everybody or charge nobody.”

McCurrach said he also takes issue with the way the program was initially rolled out.

Rather than con-sulting with develop-

ers or making a for-mal announcement, Canada Post began sending out notices to individual devel-opers, informing them they would be charged the fee.

Late in 2013, Canada Post announced it wants to phase out urban home delivery and move all residents to the community mailbox system in the next five years to save money.

LOCAL NEWS


The mood inside the Kamloops Daily News building on Friday, Jan. 10 — the last day of production for the vener-able newspaper — was sombre.

Employees packed their careers into boxes, said goodbye to one another and worked on the final edition of the newspaper that served Kamloops for more than eight decades.

The closure of the Daily News came sud-denly.

Just days earlier — on Monday, Jan. 6 — Glacier Media, the newspaper’s parent company, gave the Daily News’ 50-plus employees 60-days’ notice the oper-ation would be shuttered based on its financial performance.

It didn’t last a week.“At 8:45 on Monday

morning, we were all called in by the publish-er,” longtime Daily News reporter Cam Fortems told KTW while packing up his belongings.

“I had just got back from a week of holidays, so I’m going through my usual routine — I’m looking at the court list.

“The publisher said the newspaper is closing. I didn’t hear anything he said after that.”

Fortems, who had been at the newspaper since 1996, said it’s tough to see his paper circling the drain.

“The newspaper clos-

ing is always in the back of your head,” he said.

“I joined the newspa-per industry in 1992 and it seemed it was going downhill then.

“You always wonder in the back of your mind what’s going on, but no one ever shows us the books — so, you wonder, but you just hope for the best.”

Tracy Gilchrist was named editor of the Daily News in October — two-and-a-half years after she moved to Kamloops from the Trail Times to become city editor.

She said it took a few days after the closure was announced for the totality of the situation to sink in.

“The first day, it was just such a shock and such a blow,” she said.

“I was thinking, ‘I just uprooted our life to come here for this job.’

“Then, the longer scope started to settle in and I woke up in the night feeling this profound sad-ness for the loss of this community.”

Gilchrist said there had been indications the Daily News was not doing well financially, but she did not expect the paper to be shut down entirely.

“I think all of us real-ized a six-day-a-week paper wasn’t viable,” she said.

“But, we thought maybe we’d ditch the Monday or pare down to two days a week or three days a week — not just close it.”

Mark Hunter, who has been a sports reporter at

the Daily News for seven years, echoed Gilchrist’s sentiment.

“It’s always a possibil-ity, but you think they’d cut back,” he said. “You think it could happen, but you don’t think it would happen.”

Hunter worked eve-nings, so he wasn’t in the office when the closure was announced.

He said he got a call from the office shortly after 9 a.m.

“I pick it up, it’s Gregg [Drinnan, sports editor],” Hunter said.

“He says, ‘They’re

shutting us down.’ My response was, ‘For how long?’

“He said, ‘No, they’re shutting us down.’ My response was one word and I’m pretty sure you can figure it out.”

Hunter wants to stay in journalism.

“You really don’t think it’s ever going to happen but, at the same time, I’m not angry for some rea-son,” he said.

“Maybe I’m still in denial. It hasn’t soured me on the business.

“But, I mean, this hap-pened four days ago.”

A sombre fi nal day at the Kamloops Daily News

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our wife, mother and nonna, Cesira Frasca. Mom succumbed to a brief but courageous battle with cancer on January 11, 2014, surrounded by her husband and children.

Cesira leaves to mourn her husband of 53 years Antonio, sons Pino (Sandra) and Robert (Debbie) of Kamloops, daughter Cathy (Dean) of Prince George and son Bart (Christy) of Redwood Meadows, Alberta and eleven grandchildren (Ashley, Alishia, Daniela. Breanna, Rebecca, Ryan, Rachel, Vienna, Ava, Adam and Maisie). Her siblings Perry (Mary) of Kamloops, Rinaldo and Antionetta (Tonino) and Livia (Santino) of Italy and many nieces and nephews also grieve her passing. Mom was predeceased by her parents Bartolomeo and Teresa Frasca.

Mom was born in Manoppello, Pescara, Italy and immigrated to Canada in 1959. She married Dad in 1960 in Thunder Bay, Ontario and raised their family there until 1971 when they moved to Kamloops. Mom spent her years caring for her children and grandchildren as the family grew. Mom truly loved gardening, visiting with her many friends and participating in social clubs.

A very special thank you to Dr. Ruth Farren for the compassionate care she provided. Also, we would like to thank Mom’s friends and family for their support and love throughout Mom’s battle.

Prayers will be held on Tuesday, January 14, 2014 at 7:00 pm at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church. The Reverend Father Peter Nguyen will celebrate the Funeral Mass in the church on Wednesday, January 15, 2014 at 11:00am.

In lieu of owers, donations in Cesira’s name to Royal Inland Hospital Foundation, 311 Columbia Street, Kamloops, BC V2C 2T1; www.rihfoundation.ca; 250-314-2325 or a charity of choice would be appreciated in her memory. Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com. Funeral Arrangements are entrusted to Schoening Funeral Service

Nancy, a Richmond girl, was born in Vancouver on September 28, 1948. From high school she went straight to work for the WCB. There, fate channeled a circumstance into a chance encounter with Bill that set the stage for a fi rst date. They were inseparable right from that very fi rst date. She knew right away that she was destined to marry the love of her life. It took Bill a little longer. In 1975, after two years of her certainty and Bill’s hesitation, they were married and moved to North Delta. She made Bill so much a better person in so many ways. She gave him confi dence, gave him purpose, gave him a life that was pure joy. She brought home his fi rst puppy knowing it would melt his heart and she was right. She continued to enhance his and their life in so many ways. She was always there for him and with him. She became his darling companion as they traveled the world together, creating memories to last forever. Nancy retired just before her 50th birthday and Bill followed a few months later. Their travels accelerated. They visited all the capitals of Europe and many small towns in between, frequented Mexico and touched the Caribbean. People often asked if she had any children and she would always say “No, I have a travel agent and I have no regrets.” They moved to Kamloops in 2002 and moved into her yellow house that Bill designed with her in mind. Her home, her Golden Retrievers, her gazebo and garden, her travels and her Bill were her life. And then she and her Bill began to meet so many people in Kamloops that became such good friends. Kamloops was a much gentler place than the coast, much like the friendliness she and Bill enjoyed in Mexico. She often said they were so lucky to have come here. She and her Bill had ten great

years and then the worst happened. She was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2012. Lost one lung and got cancer in the other. Then in February, 2013 they found a brain tumor. The cancer was relentless. It caused seizures, blood clots, loss of balance, loss of cognitive function, impaired her speech and her memory. She fought it all, fought back and had an August and September that her and her Bill cherished. November into December was getting grim again. She was losing the battle. Falling in hospital and breaking her hip, getting a hip placement and a brain tumor out of control all conspired to take the kindness gentlest soul away from all who loved her. On January 4, 2014 at 7:30 AM with her Bill holding her hand for the last half hour of her life she drew her last breath. Her ashes will be placed next to the ashes of two of her previous dogs where they will all forever look down on her Casa Amarrilla, her yellow house, her home.

McIntyre – Lewis Edwin passed away peacefully on Monday January 6, 2014 at Kamloops Seniors Village in Kamloops, BC. Dad was born on July 2, 1927 in Prelate, Saskatchewan, the youngest of nine children. During his high school years, he managed the home and farmstead until attending Moose Jaw Normal School in 1945. He then taught at Abbey, Sceptre and Arcola before fi nishing his Arts and Education degrees at the University of Saskatchewan. Midway through his teaching career, in 1966-67, he attended the University of Toronto, where he studied educational administration, and completed his Masters Degree. Lewis served the Saskatoon Board of Education for 36 years, 32 of which he was a principal and vice-principal. During that time he opened several new schools and provided leadership to his staff , students, and parents. He took a well-deserved sabbatical leave in 1981, at which time he travelled to Asia and Europe with his wife and life-long partner, Marion Lois.

In 1954 Lewis married Marion Harvey, a teacher from the neighbouring town of Cabri. Together they pursued their teaching careers, raised their two children, Meredith and Trevor, developed lasting friendships, and enjoyed life in Saskatoon. During school holidays they travelled with friends and families for camping, skiing, and other fascinating journeys. Lewis was well known for his passion for gardening, his prize winning lilies, his completion of cross-word puzzles, his competitive games of backgammon and cribbage, his mastery of bridge, his enjoyment of the great outdoors, and his utmost pride in his family and home. He was captivated by wildlife and enjoyed all seasons, but always looked forward to spring and gardening. He rarely sat down, and his work ethic epitomized the Scottish family motto “PER ARDUA”, meaning “through hardship and diligence”.

His loving memory will forever be cherished by his daughter Meredith (John) McGeough of Kamloops, and son Trevor (Pamela) McIntyre of Toronto, grandchildren Sean, Megan, Aidan McGeough and Colin McIntyre, sister Muriel Johnston, his sisters in law, Fran Smith, Laura McIntyre, June McIntyre. Predeceased by his loving wife Marion McIntyre, parents James and Helen McIntyre, his dear brothers and sisters Chrissie (Neil) Gray, Edith (Norman) Glauser, Allan McIntyre, Russel (Maurine) McIntyre, Ken McIntyre, Eva (Roland) Hart, Ralph McIntyre, and his brothers and sisters in law Wilf (Nellie) Harvey, Myrtle (Carl) Thingvold, Earl Johnston, Bud Smith.

The family would like to express thanks to the wonderful staff at Kamloops Seniors Village in Kamloops, BC, for their care and guidance in the last few years. They are a very compassionate, capable group of people who allowed him to roam the halls as any good Principal should! We would like to extend a special thank-you to Dr. Schumacher and Dr. Wiedrick who made numerous house calls for Dad’s benefi t. If you wish to make a donation to the Alzheimer Society of B.C./Sask./Ont., it would be appreciated. Interment of cremated remains will be held at a later date at a service in Saskatoon. Lewis will be buried at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens next to Mom. When the time is right, and the crocuses are in bloom, he will return to the prairies where he truly belongs!

IT APPEARS Dave Hunchak’s exit from the Kamloops Blazers

is not directly related to the team’s abysmal record.

On the morning of Saturday, Jan. 11, local-media outlets received a vague press release that said Hunchak is taking a leave of absence from the team.

KTW looked for answers in a conver-sation with Blazers’ general manager Craig Bonner.

“Sorry, but I can’t say more on Dave Hunchak,” Bonner said.

The Blazer GM was asked if the team’s per-formance was the only reason for Hunchak’s departure.

“No comment,” Bonner replied.

Replacing Hunchak, effective immediately, is Guy Charron, head coach of the Blazers from 2009 to 2013.

Hunchak left the team and flew home to Kamloops from Spokane on Thursday, Jan. 9, meaning he was not behind the bench when

the hometown Chiefs downed the Blazers 6-3 on Friday, Jan. 10 — a piece of information left out of Radio NL’s game broadcast that evening.

It appears Hunchak will not return — either this season or at any point in the future — and it also seems as if the leave of absence was one requested by the Blazers.

“Let’s face it — things weren’t going very well,” Charron said on Saturday.

“Craig [Bonner] doesn’t like to step in and let go of anyone unless it has to come to the point where it needs to be done and maybe it had reached that point and that’s when he asked me to come in and help the kids.”

Charron — who posted a record of 144-97-7-13 in his first tenure with Kamloops — is a caretaker coach and is expected to vacate the position at season’s end.

Associate coach Mark Ferner seems a likely candidate for the head coaching position when the 2014-2015 season begins.

With Kamloops lan-guishing in last place in

the Western Conference at 10-29-2-3, throwing Ferner into the fire now seems a lesser idea than giving him a clean slate next season, assuming Blazer brass decides to give him the job.

No decisions on next season’s coaches are likely to be made until the off-season.

KTW requested an interview with Hunchak on Saturday. He has not yet replied.

Shootout loss in Charron’s return

Charron had some convincing to do when he was asked to return to his old post behind the Blazers’ bench.

He had to persuade himself he was ready to steer the ship — and he had to get his wife on board with the idea.

“I had to get the OK,” said Charron, whose Blazers fell 4-3 in a shootout to the Prince George Cougars at Interior Savings Centre on Saturday.

“I must say she’s a caring woman and she knew the reason why I’m doing it — and it’s to help the kids.”

The players seemed to respond to their

new coach in the first period on Saturday, with Matt Revel, recently acquired in a trade with Saskatoon, opening the scoring at 2:17 of the first period.

Less than 30 sec-onds later, Tyson Ness lifted a backhander over Prince George netminder Adam Beukeboom and Kamloops was up 2-0.

Todd Fiddler cut the lead in half with a power-play goal for the Cougars at 7:24 of the opening frame.

The teams then traded power-play markers, with Jesse Shynkaruk restor-ing Kamloops’ two-goal cushion before Fiddler notched his second of the night to bring Prince George within one.

Kamloops led 3-2 after the first period and there would be no more goals until Brad Morrison scored for Prince George at 6:33 of the third stanza.

Morrison’s goal forced overtime, which solved nothing.

Shynkaruk undressed Beukeboom and scored a beauty in the shootout, but it was the only goal the Blazers could muster.

Troy Bourke and Jordan Tkatch tallied

shootout markers for the visitors, beating Bolton Pouliot, who played well between the pipes for Kamloops, making 33 saves. Beukeboom stopped 18 shots and picked up the victory.

Charron has a few days to rally the troops before the Vancouver Giants come to town on Friday, Jan. 17.

Game time is 7 p.m. at ISC.

Charron, advisor to hockey operations before Hunchak’s departure, was enjoying his scaled-back role with the team.

The good life will have to be put on hold for now.

“I didn’t wish that something like that would have to happen to the point where the

organization is thinking about making a change,” Charron told reporters.

“Things were going pretty well for me. I was semi-retired.

“But, I’m proud to be part of the Blazer family. I’m excited to be here.

“My wife even said to me, ‘It looks like it’s not out of your system.’

“I still had fire in me. Let’s put it that way.”

Feedback from people like Michael McCarthy is what gives great pride to the people behind Kamloops: A Story of Champions.

“Within 12 sec-onds, I was already learning,” McCarthy wrote on Facebook below the video post-ed by Kamloops prod-uct Matt Human.

“I thought I would laugh throughout this video, but I finished it with tears of pride and joy. Amazing.”

The promotional video, commissioned by Venture Kamloops and produced by Mastermind Studios, “explains that cham-pions are people who do things well, people who are committed to things, and that’s what the people of Kamloops are. We’re committed to our city and to making our city the best it can possibly be, nurturing growth and nurturing development,” said Jim Anderson, execu-tive director with Venture Kamloops.

What makes the approval of McCarthy — and of Human, who refers to the Tournament Capital as Paradise City in the Facebook post — special to Venture Kamloops is it is unsolicited, unlike some of the praise

Anderson expected to receive from local dig-nitaries who attended the premiere of the film at Sagebrush Theatre last week.

“We’ve been inun-dated with positive feedback,” Anderson said. “After four days, we’re coming up on 8,000 views.

“It’s what comes to us from people who watch the video that we’ve never met before that’s really making us think that we got it right.”

There will be those who wish some things were done differently, but the film’s creators did everything they could to produce a video that pleases the River City masses.

“This took about 14 months to make,” Anderson said of the Mastermind offering, which runs four min-utes and 31 seconds.

“It wasn’t the hardest video ever made, but there are a number of different user groups who we solicited input from. Everybody has differ-ent opinions.

“It’s a matter of corralling all those and getting a prod-uct that everybody is

happy with.”The video is posted

online at venturekam-loops.com.

“We’re relying heavily on social net-work for distribution, hoping to start conver-sation with people that we haven’t met yet,” Anderson said.

Featured in the film are lawyer Lesra Martin, provincial court judge Len Marchand and ath-letes Nancy Greene-Raine, Mark Recchi and Corryn Brown,

among others.“It’s a promo-

tional video and it’s designed as an introductory piece for when we go out on sales missions, to trade shows and when we host people in Kamloops on familiarization tours,” Anderson said.

“We offer it to groups who view the lifestyle aspect and the advantages Kamloops has to offer as tools for their busi-ness.”

WolfPack wins could mean home playoff dates

Story of Champions resonates with residents

Fans might get the chance to blow the roof off the Tournament Capital Centre, with Canadian Interuniversity Sports post-season volleyball seemingly on its way to Kamloops in February.

The TRU WolfPack men’s latest victories — a pair of wins over the country’s fifth-ranked team, the Brandon Bobcats, at the TCC on the weekend — have likely clinched home playoff matches.

The dates for the first-round best-of-three

series, while not yet confirmed, are tentative-ly set for Feb. 14, Feb. 15, and, if necessary, Feb. 16.

TRU, which has won six straight matches, is 10-4 on the season.

Meanwhile, with a pair of weekend losses to the Bobcats, the WolfPack women dropped to 0-14 on the campaign.

Colin (Toledo) Robinson, the Kamloops Blazers’ trainer, once said Aspen Sterzer is one of the top-five guys ever to don Blue and Orange.

Craig Bonner, the Blazers’ GM, dealt Sterzer to the Red Deer Rebels in exchange for Matt Bellerive in a swap of 19-year-old forwards on Thursday, Jan. 9, a day before the WHL’s trade dead-line. Kamloops also received a third-round pick in the 2014 WHL

bantam draft.“I’m going to the

airport here and it’s a real different feeling,” said Sterzer, who flew out of Spokane en route to Regina, where the Rebels were staying before their tilt with Moose Jaw on Friday, Jan. 10.

“I’ve never been traded. I’ve made so many great friendships in Kamloops and there are so many awesome people and I’ll never for-get the things they did.”

There has been some concern around Mark Recchi Way about Sterzer’s future

in Kamloops, with his mom, Franci, still fight-ing the adverse effects of a life-altering car accident that left her paralyzed in 2006.

It appears the Rebels need not worry about Sterzer’s status for his 20-year-old campaign, with the Canal Flats product still focused on playing professional hockey.

“I just want to keep going with my career and, yeah, it’s tough with what’s going on with my mom, but I know my mom would want me to pursue my dreams and see those

come true,” said Sterzer, whose future brother-in-law, Bolton Pouliot, a goaltender, was traded to Kamloops from Red Deer on Sept. 9.

“Whatever it takes to get to the next level, I’m willing to do.”

Sterzer, who was severely concussed in the accident, has since suffered hockey-related head injuries, some of which have kept him out of the lineup over the past two seasons.

Sterzer’s biggest on-ice moment with the Blazers likely came in what’s known around Kamloops simply as

Game 6 — the penulti-mate game of a Western Conference semifinal final series with the Portland Winterhawks in 2012.

He fired a wrist-shot, blocker side, past Portland netminder Mac Carruth at Interior Savings Centre, con-tributing to what many believe is the greatest comeback in Blazers’ history, a 7-6 victory for Kamloops, which lost Game 7 in Portland.

Bellerive tallied nine goals and 22 points in 31 games this season with the Rebels.

He made his Blazer

debut on Saturday, Jan. 11, registering an assist in a 4-3 shootout loss to the Prince George Cougars at ISC on Saturday, Jan. 11.

Matt Revel, acquired from the Saskatoon Blades in a trade on Wednesday, Jan. 8, scored a goal in his home debut with Blue and Orange on Saturday.

For stories on the Blazers’ three deadline deals, including one which sent netminder Taran Kozun to Seattle, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com.

Robinson said Sterzer is a “Tasmanian Devil

on the ice” and a per-fect role-model for his own child, likening the hard-working forward to Jarret Stoll.

“That should tell you the type of character he has,” Robinson said.

The Blazers’ trainer earned special mention from Sterzer, speaking to KTW minutes before an aircraft jetted him off to a new stage of his career.

“It’s tough to find a trainer like Toledo — love him,” Sterzer said.

“It’s tough to say goodbye, but I’m excited to go and make a differ-ence in Red Deer.”

Sterzer says emotional goodbyes after trade

There he was, construction worker Devon Bjarnason, head-ing out every day to make a living and driving home every night, knowing his guitar was waiting for him.

“I had a really good life, people said, but I was miserable at work because I wasn’t playing my guitar,” he said.

“So, one day, I walked in and quit my job.”

Devon Coyote was born.The name change made

sense to him, he said, because he’d been performing as part of a duo around his hometown of Kelowna and he wanted to keep that part of his identity.

But, Bjarnason just wasn’t going to work in the marketing scheme racing through his head.

“Coyote suited my lifestyle at the time,” he said, “and there was no other Devon Coyote website so, when you Google it, my site comes up first.”

He recorded an EP and the road beckoned, with the ex-labourer heading east, setting up gigs, playing his music, hopping in the car, driving more miles.

Somewhere in northern

Ontario, the car started to have problems — not serious enough to stop him from making it to Toronto, he said, but bad enough to cancel the Maritime leg of his first dream tour.

He came back home, got to work writing and singing and booking and promoting — and then doing it all over again.

“Those first few years were interesting,” Bjarnason said.

“Nobody knows you. Nobody wants to hire you.”

Last year, D’Arcy Booth joined Bjarnason, bringing along his bass to add to the guitar and vocals, and the two of them did more than 160 shows, finally making it out east for shows not only in Toronto, but in Montreal.

Late last year, Dylan Ranney and his drum kit joined and the duo became a trio.

Most of the songwriting is done by Bjarnason, but the other two chime in at the end to make sure the bass lines or the beats

work with what he has created.Don’t ask them to define their

genre, though. Bjarnason is proud they sing

songs ranging from blues to country to pop to folk.

“Anything with music,” he said.

They’re back in town on Wednesday, Jan. 15, for a show at the Dirty Jersey.

Bjarnason said he likes that venue because it lends itself to some quiet musical moments.

He’s had some fun shows at the Blue Grotto, as well, he said, as well as some gigs years ago at Pogue Mahone Irish Alehouse.

“Kamloops’ been great to the Devon Coyote Band,” he said, adding he knew it would be hard, but he knows he made the right decision to give up the day job and turn the night hobby into his life’s work.

“All it takes is one leap of faith.”

Former Kamloops musician Anita Eccleston — who now makes Vancouver her home — has been busy in the recording studio, working on a new CD.

But, it’s not an easy or inexpensive project to take their work and turn it into something others can acquire.

Eccleston hopes to have the album of her own original creations, called So It Goes, ready soon and has turned to an online music platform for help, hoping fans here in her hometown will sup-port her.

She’s using Pledge Music (pledgemusic.com), a direct-to-fan music platform, to pre-sell the album.

There are other crowd-sourcing programs out there, but she said she chose this one because it focuses on musicians.

The company’s concept is not to provide another way to buy, but a reason, offering fans other options than acquiring the music, letting the musi-cian offer extra perks or exclusives.

There are a variety of perks. For example, $20 gets the donor the CD and a stick of the album art while $50 gets a trumpet lesson with Eccleston, who plays that instrument.

Big spenders can get a house performance in Kamloops for $1,000.

And, once the musician’s fundraising goal is reached, a portion of any additional money goes to a charity. Eccleston has chosen UNICEF Canada, “a charity I believe has a real impact helping peo-ple in the most desolated parts of the world.”

There’s a time limit, of course, and she has to reach her goal by the third week of February.

If she doesn’t make her goal, any pledges made aren’t collected and she gets no funding.

“I am sure we can inspire the community of Kamloops, my beloved hometown, to get behind me by pledging me through to my goal,” she said.

When she does reach her goal, the album will be released.

For more information, go online to pledgemusic.com/projects/soitgoes.

Eccleston needs your help

Former Kamloops musician Anita Eccleston, who is now based in Vancouver, is looking for financial help to make her new album a reality.

Concert review: Band Perry has energyIf the populace at large could

harness a portion of the energy contained within the body of Kimberly Perry, lethargy would be as extinct as a well-made M. Night Shyamalan flick.

Perry, de facto leader of the eponymous country-music band, dominated the stage at Interior Savings Centre on Friday, Jan. 10, as the trio of siblings — Kimberly and brothers Neil and Reid, backed by a tight, tight, tight four-person

ensemble — led fans through four years’ of songs.

Headlining a tour for the first time, the band’s infectious energy was swallowed whole by the loud crowd, dominated by a strong contingent of youngsters, many of whom could be seen singing along to every word that came out of Kimberly’s mouth.

The Band Perry delivered a 16-song set, including their hits (You Lie, Done, All Your Life,

Hip to My Heart and a stunning encore featuring If I Die Young and Better Dig Two), their new-est song and name of the album and your (Pioneer), a gospel mainstay (Amazing Grace) and, entertainingly, some Pitbull and Ke$ha (Timber) and Queen (Fat-Bottomed Girls).

Used cars to be sold at $77 & upA d v e r t i s e m e n t

A leading automobile dealer located in Kamloops is over stocked with used vehicle inventory and will be selling used cars and trucks for as low as seventy seven dollars and up this Saturday, January 18, 2014. Rain, snow or shine.George Evans, General Manager, for Kamloops Dodge

Chrysler Jeep has just announced plans to hold a used car and truck event with used cars and trucks starting at seventy seven dollars and up this Saturday, January 18, 2014. According to George Evans. “Sales from the last few months have been strong and resulted in an extra amount of used cars, trucks and lease returns. Due to the overwhelming success of the Kamloops Automall Sale there have been a lot more used vehicles added to our inventory”. said Evans. Now we need to reduce the number of cars and trucks in our used inventory. During this seventy seven dollar sale every used car and truck will be sold for hundreds to thousands below the original price.”

Evans says, “Our customers should nd these prices as low as auction prices in many cases.”Every used car and truck will be on sale. FIRST COME,

FIRST SERVED AND NO BIDDING. It’s the perfect opportunity to get a good quality used car at the lowest price possible, including cars for only seventy seven dollars and up. All cars and trucks will be on display at Kamloops Dodge Chrysler Jeep, 2525 East Trans Canada Highway in Valleyview at 8:00am on Saturday, January 18, 2014. All vehicles will be opened so that buyers may inspect the

vehicles for one hour before the sale begins at 10:00am. Whoever is sitting behind the wheel at 10:00am when the prices are SLASHED on the windshield will be given the rst opportunity to purchase that vehicle at the SLASHED

sale price. This innovative approach to selling used vehicles will make it easy and quick for anybody in the market to purchase a good used car or truck at a very low

price with no hassle. “We have two business managers who will help buyers arrange low cost nancing, as well as bank representatives that will be present. We’ve got over 1 million dollars in used inventory to choose from. Our total inventory will be over 70 used cars and trucks.

We want to remind everybody that this is a one day sale only. When our inventory has been reduced, we will remove the sale prices and return to normal operations. Since we are a local business, we would like to give back to the community,” Evans said. “We would rather allow local people to buy these vehicles than wholesale them at an auction.” Any questions can be directed to local or long distance 1-250-374-4477. Kamloops Dodge Chrysler Jeep opens at 8:00 am on Saturday, January 18, 2014 and the sale starts at 9:00am SHARP! Buyers must be 18 or older with valid driver’s license.

The 2014 Cadillac XTS V-Sport Platinum is GM’s flagship sedan, but there is more to it

than that.Technologically, it is the most

advanced passenger vehicle Cadillac has ever produced.

At 509 litres (18 cu ft) XTS has a bigger trunk than the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Audi A8 and BMW 7 Series.

It has one of the most power dense V6 engines in the world, yet it is capable of transporting five adults in full-size style at 8.3L/100 km (34 mpg).

For me, knowing it is built in Oshawa means the quality of assembly is world class.

Lastly, with a starting price of $73,745 ($78,835 as tested) the XTS Platinum reviewed here is tens of thousands of dollars less than its German competitors.

Cadillac once billed itself at the “Standard of the World” but that was until GM lost its way starting in the 1970s that lead to the “badge engineering” era in the 1980s when the only differ-ence between a Cadillac or Buick

was a few body panels and the logo on the grille.

And there were flops too, such as the Catera, a rebadged Opel, and the woeful Cimerron based on the even more woeful Chev Cavalier.

Looking back now, the fiscal meltdown was probably the best thing that could have happened to GM and Cadillac in particular.

Today the CTS-V Coupe is one of the sexist cars on the road and the little ATS is quite capa-ble of showing its heels to the compact Euro sport sedans.

The XTS came along in 2012 as a replacement for the STS and DTS, both long in the tooth and very much of the “old” Cadillac genre.

The XTS is offered in three trim levels (luxury, premium, platinum) and available in front- and all-wheel-drive and using two versions of GM’s ubiquitous 3.6-litre DOHC V6.

The first is a naturally aspirat-ed version with 304 hp and 264 lb/ft of torque — the same as in the Chevrolet Impala which rolls down the same assembly line in Oshawa.

New for 2014 and standard on the Platinum is a twin-turbo ver-

sion of the V6 producing 410 hp and 369 lb/ft of torque.

Also standard is AWD with a Haldex electronic limited-slip differential that splits torque between the rear wheels. With six-speed electronic transmis-sion, the fuel rating (premium) is 13.3/8.3L/100 km (21/34 mpg) city/highway.

The 2014 XTS (Platinum model shown) re-establishes Cadillac as a serious consideration to the premium

luxury sedan buyer who, until now, looked at European and Japanese brands.

XTS V-Sport is Cadillac’s most-advanced sedan

Among the Honda motorcycle products for 2014 is the all-new new CTX1300T.

The CTX1300T was designed to be poised neatly between the laid back feel of a pure cruiser and the function-ality of a touring bike, imparting around-town usability with the ability to deal comfortably and luxuriously with long-range weekend trips.

The heart and soul of the CTX1300T is its water-cooled V4 engine.

The longitudinally-mounted eight-valve

1,261cc, water-cooled, fuel-injected 90° V4 power unit, derived from the ST1300, fea-tures modifications to bolster low and mid-range torque.

The engine’s feel and sound have been ampli-fied by the use of uneven (150mm difference) exhaust pipe lengths that add a V4 ‘backbeat’. Tuned to give strong acceleration from low rpm and a relaxed feel at highway speeds it fea-tures taller gearing, with a five-speed gearbox and shaft drive.

The CTX1300T is equipped with Honda’s TCS that constantly monitors front and rear wheel speed plus various engine parameters and throttle position, looking for variations that could mean an imminent loss of traction.

If the TCS senses wheel-spin is pos-sible engine power is momentarily reduced to ensure a seamless, unobtrusive traction control.

The CTX1300T’s modern cohesive styl-ing grabs attention with

a long and low look, taking cues from its big brother — the Gold Wing F6B.

The CTX1300T was built to be practical and easy to ride with a low seat height, natural rid-ing position, an efficient fairing and standard-fit rear panniers. The 19.5-litre fuel tank is situated under the seat, lowering the centre of gravity.

A short windscreen injects attitude to the CTX1300T’s silhouette while dual rear panniers integrate fluidly and provide useful storage

space. Five-stage heated grips are fitted as stan-dard equipment.

The twin-speaker stereo system works with iPod, MP3 player and smartphones, dis-playing track informa-tion centrally on the dash. Bluetooth con-nectivity also allows the

use of helmet headsets, rider to pillion or bike-to-bike.

An analogue speed-ometer and tachometer provide vital informa-tion at a glance, while the LCD digital display includes odometer, trip meter, fuel consump-tion, engine temperature

and clock. The headlights, tail-

light and indicators are all LED and give off an intense light signature.

The CTX1300T will be available in black and red colour choices in Canada. Prices will be announced closer to its debut.

Building on its SYNC in-car connectivity sys-tem it launched in 2007, Ford has announced new system investments and organizational alignments to deliver the industry’s best fully integrated con-nected car and digital consumer experience.

Ford will expand its SYNC AppLink system to 3.4 million more vehicles currently on the road.

Since its launch in 2010, Ford has migrated SYNC AppLink to more products and custom-ers around the world, enabling vehicle owners to access and control smartphone apps including TuneIn, NPR and iHeartRadio via voice command.

More than one million vehicles equipped with SYNC AppLink are on the road today, and another 3.4 million vehicles – model year 2010 and newer – will be eligible to download AppLink later this year.

Currently, SYNC AppLink allows users to seam-lessly control over 60 smartphone mobile apps – on both iOS and Android platforms - using the car’s voice commands, enabling drivers to keep their eyes on the road and hands on the wheel.

Ford is the first automaker to offer an open developer program, developer.ford.com, to help keep customers connected inside the vehicle and will continue to add new SYNC-enabled smart-phone apps to enhance the driving experience.

Today, consumers continue to demand more personalized, simplified and integrated in-

vehicle experiences. And, with consumers spending more time with

digital media than with any other, Ford hopes to turn the connected vehicle into an intelligent vehicle, one that simplifies and personalizes the in-vehicle experience for the consumer.

Beyond the in-car experience, Ford’s ultimate goal is to use connectivity and digital to transform every aspect of the ownership experience, and to build the foundation for future mobility initiatives.

With the eventual proliferation of embedded telematics capabilities for Ford Motor Company’s SYNC system, as recently announced on Lincoln MKC, a newly aligned organization will manage connectivity across the entire enterprise.

Ford expands SYNC in-car applicationsThe Ford SYNC AppLink will be available on 3.4 million more vehicles later this year with a free upgrade that enable current Ford owners to access and control smartphone apps via voice command.

C A R M É N È R E • C H I L ETHE REGIONThe vineyards of Chile are found along an 800 mile stretch of land protected by the coastal mountain ranges. This region has a Mediterranean climate cooperative to California or Bordeaux. Warm, sunny days and cool nights are ideal for producing great wines.

THE WINEThe Carménère grape was originally planted n Bordeaux, France but is now found almost exclusively in Chile. It produces a medium bodied wine with aromas of fruit and spice. It has a deep crimson colour and a fruity fl avour with smokey, earthy notes.

THE FOODCarménère pairs beautifully with a meal of braised beef and grilled vegetables and is also delicious with dark chocolate.
