The Brocklehurst resident charged with attempted murder in connection to the June 19 beating of Jessie Simpson will remain behind bars after a scheduled bail hearing in Kamloops Law
Courts did not take place yesterday. Kristopher Teichrieb, 39, has been in custody since last Sunday after Simpson, 18, was beaten in the area of Holt Street and Clifford Avenue just before 5 a.m. Police say a Clifford Avenue homeowner
told them he saw a male on his driveway and went outside to conJESSIE SIMPSON front him. Simpson was taken to hospital, where he remains on life sup-
port, while Teichrieb was arrested. Teichrieb appeared to be upset as he sat in the prisoner’s box in court yesterday, wiping tears from his eyes. His next court appearance will be on Monday, June 27 via video. So far, police have not determined what

Simpson, a Savona resident, was doing in the driveway — if indeed he was in the driveway. “We’re not sure what the victim was doing. He hasn’t been able to verbalize anything,” Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said. “All we know is they were unknown to each
other and we can’t speak to the motivations for why the suspect did what he did.” Friends of Simpson have said he was in Kamloops, celebrating graduation from South Kamloops secondary and making his way to a friend’s home following a party. Teichrieb is a father of three and owner of at least two Kamloops construction firms.

10th Annual

NewLeaf Airlines is ready to take to the skies on July 25 and has added Kamloops to its routes. The discount airline will be flying twice a week to Victoria and twice a week to Edmonton, with the total round-trip cost for both flights being $158. Flights will take place on Saturdays and Wednesdays, beginning July 30. Flights to Victoria will leave Kamloops at 10 a.m. Flights to Edmonton will leave Kamloops at 7:40 p.m. Travellers can purchase tickets starting Thursday from the Winnipeg-based startup, with the first flight scheduled for take off on July 25. The company has also added five more destinations to its service, which now include Kamloops, Halifax, Moncton, Hamilton, Winnipeg, Regina, Saskatoon, Edmonton, Kelowna, Fort St. John, Abbotsford and Victoria. When it originally launched in January, NewLeaf billed itself as an alternative to airline juggernauts like Air Canada and WestJet by offering bargainpriced “no frills” flights. It advertises flights for as low at

Coast Kamloops Hotel & Conference Centre Starting at 5:30 pm
$79 one-way including all taxes and fees. But just a week after the company started selling tickets, it hit some turbulence over whether it needed a licence to operate. NewLeaf contended that it did not require a licence because it does not operate airplanes and only resells seats from Kelowna-based Flair Airlines. In late March, the Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) ruled in favour of NewLeaf and cleared the runway for the company to resume ticket sales. The company said its flights will still be booked through Flair Airlines, which owns and operates a fleet of Boeing 737-400 jets, and is licensed under the CTA. Flair Airlines will provide the pilots and crew members. NewLeaf said it can offer discount airfare tickets because it flies out of smaller airports with lower landing fees and makes customers to pay fees for extras like carry-on and checked baggage, priority boarding and call centre assistance.
Tickets $125. Available from the Kamloops Brain Injury Association office at 250-372-1799

TREE-CLIMBING ELITE TO RISE IN RIVERSIDE ON WEEKEND ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER

C
limbing trees isn’t just for kids this weekend at Riverside Park. More than 30 top arborists from B.C. and the U.S. Pacific Northwest will compete in the BC Tree Climbing Championships tomorrow (9 a.m. to 3 p.m.) and Sunday (9 a.m. to 1 p.m.). Using Riverside’s mature trees, they will show off their climbing ability and their agility as they move among the treetops. Brian Purves of the City of Kamloops’ arboriculture department, who is helping to organize the event, said competitors will begin by attempting to climb trees as quickly as possible. While the arborists will be able to use climbing equipment similar to what some rock climbers use, Purves said many top competitors don’t need more than the rope dangling from the
tree that all contestants are able to use. “You bring your knees to your chest, loop the rope over your foot, step on that loop with your other foot and stand up, slide your arms up and do a pull up and just repeat it again,” he said. “The top guys in the world can do it in 13 to 15 seconds for 50 feet. It’s ridiculous. They’re like an inchworm that just slides up the rope.” For their second event, arborists are lifted to the tree canopy, where they will navigate a series of checkpoints as fast as they can. “As soon as they’re ready to go, they’ll have a bell to ring that’ll start the time,” Purves said. “Sometimes they have other cowbells hanging on the far ends of branches that they’ll have to work their way out to, so it’s a challenge of the dexterity and the ability of the arborist.” Competitors will also take place in at least one unannounced event, said Purves.

included rescuing a cat from a tree. Unlike logger-sport events, the BC Tree Climbing Championships focus on minimizing damage to the trees during the event. Whereas logger-sport competitors climb using spurs, Purves said they are rarely used by arborists because of the high number of injury points they create on trees. Competitors can also lose points, or even face disqualification, for breaking branches during events. Tomorrow’s best competitors will move onto a master’s round on Sunday. Winners can move on to national and international competitions. The event is free to watch, but spectators are encouraged to walk, bike or bus to the event as parking near the park will be limited during the competition. Mother Nature must be a tree-climbing fan as she will bring sunshine and a high of 27 C tomorrow and 29 C on Sunday.

With our warm summer weather it can be tempting to go for a ride without the proper protective gear. We have all seen it -- riders and passengers on their bikes in nothing but a helmet, t-shirt and shorts. It may look cool, but is it worth the risk?
WEAR THE GEAR Thankfully, BC Law mandates that all occupants on motorcycles wear a motorcycle helmet that meets designated safety standards. Helmets come in a variety of styles from half helmets all the way to the full face version that protects our entire head. We are all aware of the growing awareness of concussions and their consequences. As such, the wisdom in wearing the best protection for our heads cannot be overstated. In addition to helmets, proper riding gear includes, at a minimum, motorcycle pants, a long sleeved jacket and gloves all designed with armor plates in the appropriate areas to provide protection against road rash in the event of a crash. A good pair of riding boots that provides protection for our feet, ankles, and shins is also important. Today’s technology provides for a selection of fabrics that are lightweight and comfortable to wear even in warm weather while still providing good protection from injury. No matter what gear we may own, it will only protect against injury if we wear it.

Guilty of murder, but psych test possible CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
A B.C. Supreme Court justice found an Ashcroft resident guilty of second-degree murder yesterday in connection to the beating death of his uncle. Justice Dev Dley will now determine if Shane Gyoba, 29, should be sent for a psychiatric assessment to determine whether he was not criminally responsible for his actions on June 2, 2014. During the trial, a neighbour testified he witnessed a smaller man beating a larger man, first with his fists and then with an object. He was unsure of what he
saw, however, and did not immediately call 911. RCMP later found Ed Gyoba’s body in a shallow grave. Shane Gyoba had washed himself and his clothes clean. A pathologist testified during trial that Ed died of blunt force trauma from an axe or shovel. He also ingested dirt, indicating it was forced into his mouth as he gagged. “There is no air of reality to a self-defence argument,” Dley said, ruling that once Ed was on the ground, Shane had no legal reason to hit him with a shovel. The two may have initially started a consensual fight. As he did during the trial, Shane Gyoba frequently cursed and rambled in court during
sporadic outbursts. Defence lawyer Don Campbell said his client has given him strict orders not to seek a finding of not criminally responsible by reason of a mental disorder. But prosecutor Neil Flanagan told Dley the Crown has evidence not used in the trial that may lead to that finding. Following the finding of guilt, a hearing was held to determine whether there is enough evidence to send him to a psychiatrist to determine his mental state at the time of the murder. That hearing included testimony from his mother, Julie Gyoba. She testified Shane was a high performer in athletics and
academics until about Grade 7, when his father Gene, a metallurgical engineer, was diagnosed with leukaemia. That disease progressed swiftly. Gene also suffered a stroke during treatment, which altered his personality. Julie said Gene became overly critical of Shane, leading to problems in the home. Gene died when Shane was in Grade 9. Shane started using marijuana. His actions led to arrests for petty crimes and he became increasingly hostile around the home. Shane eventually moved to Ashcroft with his uncle Ed due to the friction in the Saskatoon home where he lived with his brother and mother.
Shane graduated from Thompson Rivers University in 2012. Soon after, Julie said his behaviour became more bizarre, including an incident where he cut off his finger, claiming his grandfather had done the same thing as a sacrifice to turn around his life. “There was no truth to that,” Julie said. The next month, Shane returned to Kamloops. He took a trip to Edmonton, she said, after receiving instructions from a television set. He also claimed his cousin’s daughter was actually his, given up by a former girlfriend by adoption.

A 22-year-old who stole a wallet from a Westsyde home while the family was inside and also broke into apartment mailboxes will spend another month in jail. Siding with a submission by the defence, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Chris Cleaveley
sentenced Braeden Mackenzie to 30 days behind bars in addition to the 30 days he has served, a six-month conditional sentence and a year of probation. Citing the seriousness of the break-in, the Crown asked for four months of new jail time.
The incidents occurred in May and October of last year. Mackenzie was convicted of being unlawfully in a dwelling house and pleaded guilty to theft of mail and to several breaches. Defence lawyer Sheldon Tate said Mackenzie was in the
throes of addiction to heroin and methamphetamine. Tate said Mackenzie will be admitted to Vision Quest recovery house, where he will serve his conditional sentence. Tate said Mackenzie also has the support of family and friends in the community.

LEARN THE SIGNS OF STROKE
Ashcroft councillor resigns ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
It just wasn’t healthy for Al Mertens to remain on Ashcroft’s village council. So, a little less than two years into his term, the rookie councillor has tendered his resignation. Mertens’ final day on council was June 16, bringing to an end his 18-month term in the village roughly 100 kilometres west of Kamloops. Concerns about how the village was being run, along with a division on council, were at the heart of his resignation. “I don’t want to make it sound like I couldn’t work with council,” Mertens told KTW. “Council wouldn’t appear to take my input in any way. If I said something, quite often I felt I got a talking-to because I asked a question. “It was just getting more and more frustrating.” Asked for specifics, Mertens cited the village’s proposed watertreatment facility, as well as its budget, as problematic. The water-treatment plant is heading to referendum in August, despite residents defeating a proposal to borrow money needed to build the plant in an alternative-
approval process. But the problem isn’t just with the referendum, Mertens said. He has concerns about the village’s relationship with the company Urban Systems, which prepared the 2014 Water Master Plan for the previous village council and helped it obtain $5.7 million in federal and provincial grants toward the project. He also expressed concerns about the budget, which council approved with what he felt was little discussion or consultation. He voted against it — he lost 4-1, as he said he often did — which he feels further led to the issues with the rest of council. “There seems to be a feeling amongst the councillors that the entire council always has to be on board with everything, whatever the decision is,” he said. “That was starting to just push me a little more than I was comfortable being there.” For their part, the rest of Ashcroft’s council doesn’t share in Mertens’ evaluation of the situation. Both Mayor Jack Jeyes and Coun. Barbara Roden said there was no animosity aimed at Mertens. “I believe that we have a council that does work well together, it does listen to everybody’s point
of view that’s put forward at the table,” Jeyes said. “Now, does that mean that everybody gets everything going their way? No it doesn’t. It’s not true that his input was unwelcome, but perhaps some of the input that he gave didn’t make the argument that he wanted it to.” Roden believes the group had been getting along well. She, too, is a first-term councillor, sworn in on the same day as Mertens, and said while it has been a steep learning curve, council has been effective. “I think, at the end of the day, you have to realize that with a fivemember council such as we have here in Ashcroft, if you’re the dissenting voice on a particular issue, you have to work to try to get your viewpoint across, [but] at the end of the day, we make the decision as a group,” she said. “The idea of the one politician going rogue and getting things done plays really well on movies and television — and obviously as the American experience. That’s not the system we have here.” A bylection to fill Mertens’ seat will be held at a date yet to be determined. The $4.2-million water-treatment plant referendum will be held in August.

New initiative aims to boost owner builder knowledge of home construction By Chris Freimond
The Province of British Columbia is introducing a new examination for owner builders as part of its ongoing program to improve the quality of owner-built homes and protect consumers. Owner builders will need to pass the exam before being issued an Owner Builder Authorization after the new requirement comes into effect on July 4, 2016, says Wendy Acheson, vice-president and registrar, Homeowner Protection Office (HPO), a branch of BC Housing.
B.C. will be the first jurisdiction in Canada and one of only a few in the world to have an exam-based knowledge requirement for owner builders.
This new requirement will help owner builders expand their knowledge and improve the quality of owner-built homes. It will also protect consumers.
An owner builder is a person authorized by the HPO to build a new home for their personal use. They are not required to be licensed by the HPO and do not need to arrange for third-party home warranty insurance on the home.
Who Needs to Apply? If you want to build a new home as an owner builder in B.C., you must apply to the Homeowner Protection Office for an Owner Builder Authorization and meet all necessary requirements.

• There is a network of exam centres across the province. • Eligible applicants must attend the exam in person and show ID. • The computer-based exam consists of 100 multiple choice questions.
can you raise both?
“It’s part of a program we introduced a few years ago called Raising the Bar, aimed at improving the level of professionalism in residential construction, and is in line with changes to the Homeowner Protection Act regulation that the province announced in March last year,” she explains.
Starting July 4, 2016, anyone applying for an Owner Builder Authorization in British Columbia will need to pass a knowledge exam on home building basics.
About the Exam
is it drooping?
But with approximately 2,500 owner-built homes being constructed in B.C. annually out of a total of 28,000, the province felt it was necessary to ensure that the owner builders had at least some knowledge of home construction standards and safety regulations, says Acheson. “They don’t need to have the professional knowledge of a licensed residential builder, but they should have a minimum level of understanding so that they can oversee the construction of their own new home,” she adds.
HPO / Owner Builder Advertorial
Owners who receive an Owner Builder Authorization may hire tradespersons to work on the home and must also be able to manage the construction process. They must not hire a general contractor to build the home for them. Improving owner builders’ knowledge is also an important aspect of protecting consumers as a whole, says Acheson. An owner builder is allowed to sell their home 12 months after it is completed and a future purchaser will want to know that the construction was overseen by someone with at least a basic understanding of the correct procedures. The exam will be offered on an ongoing basis at approximately 50 locations across B.C. It will be a computer-based test comprising 100 multiple choice questions and should take about 90 minutes to complete. Owner builders will need to show competency in two specific areas: construction basics, and the statutory obligations and requirements that they must meet under the Homeowner Protection Act. A score of 70 per cent will be needed to pass the exam. Acheson says the HPO will be working with education providers and industry associations to ensure that instruction is available to owner builders who may need assistance in preparing for the exam. Information about available training is searchable on the HPO’s education registry on its website. For more information about the new owner builder exam requirement, please visit www.hpo.bc.ca.

THE HOT AND NOT OF THE WEEK Kamloops This Week looks at the stories of the week — the good, the bad and all in-between:
HOT: The friendly skies of Kamloops — at least for the next little while as discount carrier NewLeaf Airlines tries to survive in the extremely tough airline market. After a false start earlier this year, NewLeaf announced yesterday it has received government approval for takeoff — and has added a number of cities, including Kamloops. Beginning on July 30 and continuing on Saturdays and Wednesdays thereafter, NewLeaf plans to fly to Edmonton and Victoria, boasting low round-trip fares (though there will be various add-on fees). WestJet started, then stopped fairly quickly, its service to and from Edmonton due to low passenger numbers. Here’s hoping Tournament Capital travellers will turn over a NewLeaf and help keep the fledgling airline active in Kamloops.
OUR
VIEW
NOT: The actions of some online commenters who have no regard for the feelings of those affected by tragedy. When Jessie Simpson was beat into coma and the man charged with his assault, Kristopher Teichrieb, was arrested, the lives of two families were forever shattered. Some comments submitted to KTW’s website were more than a little off-base, which is why we simply turned comments off on these stories. Other websites and social-media sites have a Wild West mentality and seemingly allow anybody to post anything at all, including speculation about Simpson’s intentions that Sunday morning, dubious reports of his medical condition, unconfirmed claims about Teichrieb’s past and more. The courts exist so fact can be separated from the fiction, of which there seems to be an abundance in online discussions.

Shape of NDP government
A
recent column looked at whether the B.C. NDP would embrace the current Canadian political fashion of attempting to borrow and spend the province into prosperity. I suspect they will, but that’s part of a platform that won’t likely be revealed too far in advance of the May 2017 election. Financial conditions can change drastically at any time. But there’s a clear record of what John Horgan’s NDP is committed to and it’s contained in a series of private members’ bills tabled in the legislature by Horgan and other NDP MLAs this year. You likely didn’t hear much about these because opposition legislation is typically dead on arrival. If a majority government likes an opposition idea, it will introduce its own legislation or cabinet order rather than allow opponents to claim credit. This happened recently with a new requirement for school districts to test their drinking water to see if it meets Health Canada guidelines. A legislative change was first proposed by North Coast NDP MLA Jennifer Rice, after schools in Prince Rupert found high levels of lead from a combination of acidic water and old plumbing. There are a couple of opposition bills you will hear a lot about in the coming months, after they were quietly but firmly rejected by the Christy Clark government. Horgan’s Campaign Finance Reform Act is the fifth time the NDP has proposed legislation to
TOM FLECTHER
Our Man In
VICTORIA ban corporate and union donations to political parties. The NDP has created a multimedia campaign to get “big money” out of B.C. politics, as has been done federally and in other provinces. Clark and Finance Minister Mike de Jong’s flat refusal and the B.C. Liberal Party’s multimillion dollar advantage in corporate fundraising will be a key theme. Saanich North and the Islands MLA Gary Holman presented the Government Advertising Act, which would require taxpayer-funded ads to be checked by the auditor general’s office for partisan content. That one was DOA too, no surprise since the government’s current series of ads would flunk such a test. Nelson-Creston MLA Michelle Mungall revived another perennial NDP proposal, the Poverty Reduction and Economic Exclusion Act 2016. This is the demand for a multiministry anti-poverty plan with annual goals and reporting of results. This one appeals to low-
information voters who are receptive to the Vancouver poverty industry’s annual bending of statistics to claim horrendous child poverty is uniquely rampant in B.C. For actual results, see the recently defeated Manitoba NDP government’s experience with their identical annual plan. Poverty in Manitoba has been eliminated at about the same rate as homelessness in Vancouver, solemnly promised by Mayor Gregor Robertson many years ago. The NDP is on firmer ground with the Speculator Tracking and Housing Affordability Act, proposed by Horgan to deal with soaring real-estate costs that have spread across Metro Vancouver and into other desirable urban locations in B.C. It aims to identify residential properties that are sitting empty and impose a levy on them, with proceeds going into a housing affordability fund to subsidize existing or new housing. The idea is to tax speculators who are buying and holding properties to take advantage of increasing market value. They could escape the levy by making the property available for rent or selling it to someone who will live in it. The B.C. Liberals don’t like that idea, nor do property developers who donate generously to them. Clark and de Jong argue that the vacancy rate is declining. This will be one of the crucial issues of the next election. tfletcher@blackpress.ca Twitter: @tomfletcherbc

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
JUDICIAL SYSTEM PROTECTS CRIMINALS Editor: I have quite a few friends who are current and former Mounties and the stories they tell about our judicial system and how it protects the criminal element and not law-biding citizens of Kamloops are appalling to hear. All you have to do is pick up KTW and read the headlines to see the judicial system letting the public down. Recently, Judge Hope Hyslop chastised the RCMP for an improper search of a vehicle, saying the search was “deceptive and manipulative” when officers searched a vehicle and discovered the driver had two loaded sawed-off shotguns and drugs. He was known to police and either has a criminal record or
is known to be associated with criminal biker gangs, yet Hyslop ruled Mounties were negligent in doing their job properly. Seriously? People known to the RCMP for gang-related activities are pulled over and police find loaded shotguns in their possession and she has the gall to say their charter rights were violated. What the hell is she thinking? What happened to the judicial system protecting the public and law-abiding citizens from such individuals? What happened to our rights? Obviously, in some judges’ eyes, it is more important to protect the criminal element, drug dealers and biker gangs than it is to protect us and our children by putting these people behind bars
where they belong. The Hyslop situation is not an isolated case. Last year, the RCMP were involved in a similar incident, where they pulled over a vehicle, again known to police, and found a loaded shotgun under the driver’s jacket. A subsequent search revealed he had a chop shop for guns, again related to the criminal element, and Hyslop once again ruled charter rights were violated. Mounties put their lives at risk each and every day they go to work, from dealing with violent family disputes to known criminals. In December 2014, Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jean-Rene Michaud was seriously shot by another well-known criminal while
patrolling in his own neighbourhood and barely survived the incident. He is a family man just out doing his job and was shot and nearly died for doing it. Then you read how some judges rule in favour of these criminals’ charter rights being violated. This is absolutely bizarre. Mounties get so frustrated, and rightfully so, with our judicial system when they invest hundreds of hours of time and risk their lives to have charges laid against known criminals, only to see a judge throw out the case because they violated that person’s “rights.” Where has common sense gone? Ernie Beadle Kamloops
MUSEUM MORE THAN AN AFTERNOON OF ENTERTAINMENT Editor: Grandparents and parents may think museums won’t fly with today’s youngsters. Wrong. I took my visiting seven-year-old grandson to the Kamloops Museum and Archives and now he can’t get enough of it. Sure, the skateboard display right now had tons of appeal and the actual skateboarders demonstrating was a
thrill. Their offer to help us try was a delightful surprise. But that wasn’t even the biggest draw for my grandson. The basement is set up for children’s activities, including a dinosaur table, a genuine re-assembled trapper’s cabin, a tent, a spacetravel corner, a puppet theatre and puppets, costumes and all sorts of toys to allow kids to build
and explore. And, for parents, a brilliant reminder to be memorized and hauled out when you need it: “Remember, part of play is putting away.” It was hard to pull my grandson away when I was desperate for lunch. So, we were back after eating and stayed until the end of the afternoon. On another day, we met a friend and her chil-
dren there and they loved it, too. As usual, we shut the place down. Even the third floor is popular. It has more traditional museum displays, but they are engaging and a manageable size. My grandson, with a tendency to fill his pockets with stones, was dazzled by the rock display. He was wowed by the beautifully lit displays with
astonishing specimens. In the elevator as we went back down to the play basement, he leaned back on the railing and said, “I like this place. We’ve got to come back.” If they are like my grandson, the museum is more than one afternoon of entertainment. It becomes a favoured destination.

BOLD SUSPECT This bold suspect went to TRU and took his time looking around the main floor near the vending machines. When no one was watching he broke into 3 machines and then left the area. This took place on Sunday, June 19th at approximately 6:30 pm when the school is not as busy with regular student traffic. There is no doubt that this male has tried this before but this time the surveillance camera caught him. The suspect is described as a Caucasian, late 40’s, has a goatee and was wearing a dark T shirt, ball cap and dark shorts. If you know this person please contact Crime Stoppers, you will never have to go to court or give a statement.

K
amloops residents will have the opportunity to step back in time on Sunday on a walking tour focusing on the 1962 Peterson Creek shootings that left three Mounties and one deranged gunman dead. Brant Zwicker, an amateur historian with a keen interest in the shootings, is leading the tour. “I probably heard about the story in the early ‘90s, mid-‘90s,” Zwicker told KTW. “It was just kind of, ‘What?’ A big event, a tragic event and it happened here. The big question for me was why?” On June 18, 1962, a government worker in Kamloops notified police after he had been threatened by George Booth, a Knutsford resident who had spent time a few years earlier in a Lower Mainland psychiatric facility — Essondale, later known as Riverview. Booth was armed that day with a .303 rifle. RCMP constables Joe Keck and Gord Pedersen were assigned to investigate the complaint and they went to the area of the welfare office near Sixth Avenue and Columbia Street. They were joined by another policeman — Const. Donald Weisgerber. Keck and Pedersen were armed and in uniform. Weisgerber was not. He had been visiting his friends at the office on his day off and decided to accompany them on the call. The officers chased Booth through the area of Peterson Creek just south of Columbia Street. Booth crossed a bridge above Peterson Creek and the Mounties closed in. He started shooting and Pedersen returned fire before being fatally shot in the head. Keck took cover beneath the wooden bridge and Weisgerber posted up behind a box. A bullet from Keck’s sidearm struck Booth, causing him to drop his gun, and Weisgerber tried to flee on foot. As the off-duty Mountie ran, Booth shot and killed him. Zwicker said Booth then told Keck that he would drop his gun if he came out from under the bridge. When the officer stood up, he was shot in the head. Booth was later killed in a shootout with RCMP Cpl. Jack White. “I just kind of went through the whole thing and tried to formulate what happened and why,” Zwicker said. “The key thing is the walkabout is going to be at the actual location where it happened. “I want to talk about the era and about Booth because he’s the unknown. It’s just kind of talking about what I’ve learned and offering some suggestions as to why this happened.” Until the Mayerthorpe, Alta., shootings in 2005, when four Mounties were killed, the Peterson Creek incident was the single deadliest event for the RCMP in Canada’s history. “It’s not meant to glorify anything,” Zwicker said. “But I think people need to remember.” The free event begins at 9 a.m. on Sunday. Zwicker asks attendees to meet in the area of Sixth Avenue and Columbia Street. Right now, he said, it’s a one-off event. “But, if there’s demand, I may look at doing it again,” he said.

Postal strike could impact property-tax payments Do you pay your property taxes by mail? The City of Kamloops is recommending you get that letter in the post by the end of today. Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers are in contract negotiations. Canada Post has suggested
a looming labour dispute could disrupt service as early as July 2, two days before property taxes in Kamloops are due. Revenue and taxation manager Parissa Bhullar said a postmark from before the due date isn’t considered proof of on-time payment and encouraged taxpay-
ers to look at other ways of paying their taxes. Property taxes can be paid in person at city hall (at First Avenue and Victoria Street), at the bank, via telephone banking or online. Residents who fail to pay by the July 4 due date are subject to a 10 per cent penalty.
Kamloops non-profits will have some extra cash to work with over the next two years. The City of Kamloops Homelessness Partnering Strategy, which distributes federal funds to groups around the city, is getting almost $180,000 in additional funding for 2016 and
2017 and an extra $135,000 each year for aboriginal homelessness programs. The cash is Kamloops’ share of an extra $111.8 million the federal Liberals added to the Homeless Partnering Strategy in this year’s budget. Natalie Serl, the city’s hous-
ing and homelessness project manager, said the HomeFree Collective — a group representing non-profits, social agencies and other individuals and organizations with an interest in housing issues — will set up a call for proposals for the cash in the coming months.

or the first 27 kilometres, Jeff Putnam wasn’t sure he would make it. In April, the city’s parks and civic facilities manager set out on foot from the small French town of Saint-Jean-Piedde-Port, located at the foot of the Pyrenees Mountains. His goal: to complete the Camino de Santiago, a 31-day, 800-kilometre pilgrimage to the shrine of St. James that has been walked since the Middle Ages, and which Putnam’s father completed in 2005. While he prepared by hiking the mountain trails around Kamloops, Putnam said the initial leg of the Camino — a trek up, over and down the Pyrenees Mountains — blew him away. “It was three times the size of Sun Peaks. It was unbelievable,” he said. “It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life, so on day one, this was a challenge.” Two-thirds of the way up the mountain, Putnam crossed into Spain, where the bulk of the pilgrimage takes place. He knew he’d reached the border when he found a cattle guard across the road. That night, he settled into an ancient monastery and learned he had just traversed a route Napoleon had once taken with his troops — the kind of history that’s almost routine on the Camino. “Honestly, after the first day I was really questioning if I could do it because it was another 30 days, another 790 kilometres to go and it was so difficult on day one. I really in my mind was starting to think I wouldn’t be able to finish it,” Putnam recalled. “But you do. Your mind and
Jeff Putnam holds up his Compostela, an official document earned by completing the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage at the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
your body kind of come together about five or six days after and you know you can do it.” Records of pilgrims visiting the shrine of St. James at Santiago de Compostela date back to the ninth century. By the 12th century, the practice had become well-known enough to merit its own guide book. Hundreds of thousands of pilgrims still attempt the route each year, walking six to eight hours per day to reach the holy site. Putnam hadn’t heard of the Camino until his father set out on the route a little more than a decade ago. Since then, he had been struck by the idea of completing his own journey. Unlike many five-week European tours, Putnam described the Camino as surprisingly affordable, at a cost of about 30 euros day. “Coffee is more expensive than wine — wine is a euro and coffee is about 1.50. And food, you could get breakfast and lunch for under
five, dinner is at the most 10 and the hostels are between only five or 10 a night — and they give you a blanket and pillow.” On a route where history is a matter of course, Putnam pointed to a moment that stood out. One afternoon, he struck up a conversation with a man who told him he had moved to town because of a 12th-century church where four Knights Templar — a medieval Catholic military order most recently made famous in the The Da Vinci Code book and film — were buried. “He said sometimes the door is open and, if it is, go in. But, before you go in, stand on the threshold and make a wish. Walk clockwise around the building and then go in and your wish will come true,” Putnam said. “He said, ‘I know because it happened to me twice.’” While the wish hasn’t yet come true, Putnam said there is still time for it to happen. By the time the pilgrimage came to its end and he made his way to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela for the pilgrim’s mass that ends the route, Putnam said he developed very sore feet. But not having another 27-kilometre day ahead was almost a letdown. “You’ve literally dedicated 24 hours a day for the last 31 days to do this one goal, and coming to the end, to me it was a little bit sad,” he said. After starting out unsure, he now calls the route “really doable” for anyone with a good plan and a well-packed backpack. “Every day is a new historic experience or a new person that you meet that really impacts you, so the whole trip was just — words can’t adequately describe it,” he said.

Senate committee seeks $16,955 in ‘ineligible expenses’ from Duffy THE CANADIAN PRESS
RESERVED SEATING. STUNNING PICTURE. BIG SCREEN. BIGGER SOUND.
™/® Cineplex Entertainment LP or used under license.
OTTAWA — Mike Duffy is being asked to repay $16,955 in what a Senate committee considers ineligible expenses, despite the controversial senator having been acquitted earlier this year on 31 charges related to his spending claims. It marks the first time since late March that a senator has been asked to repay questionable spending — an order Duffy is entitled to take up with a special arbitrator, former Supreme Court justice Ian Binnie. The arbitration process was originally set up to handle disputes arising from a federal audit of Senate spending — a review that missed Duffy initially, because he was under RCMP investigation and facing criminal charges. Some senators on the committee tasked with oversight of Senate spending wanted auditor general Michael Ferguson to come back and review
MIKE DUFFY: Senator asked to repay ineligible expenses.
Duffy’s spending, but the majority of committee members opted against rekindling the controversy. But details that emerged during Duffy’s criminal trial led Senate administrators to take another look at his spending, with the head of Senate finance alerting the Senate’s internal economy committee to the questionable claims. In a June 8 letter, the clerk of the Senate’s internal economy committee cited “new information’’ that “had surfaced in the public domain’’ as the reason for the Senate taking another look at
the eligibility of seven expense claims, which range from $10,000 for a personal trainer to $8 for personal photos. The letter gives Duffy 10 days to “provide observations or information that could establish the eligibility of the expenses’’ — Senate lingo for requiring Duffy to prove the spending was legitimate. Duffy’s lawyer Donald Bayne says his client has been “fully exonerated’’ on the seven expenses in question, calling the Senate’s persistence “a further compounding of injustice upon injustice and should be stopped.’’ Ontario Court Justice Charles Vaillancourt said Duffy’s actions weren’t criminal, even if they raised eyebrows, in acquitting Duffy on 31 charges including fraud, breach of trust and bribery. “That judgment, in addition to finding Sen. Duffy not guilty of any criminal misconduct, makes definitive find-
ings of fact in relation to each of the seven expense times, factual findings by a court of law that cannot be attacked collaterally,’’ Bayne wrote in his response, a copy of which was distributed to reporters. Bayne wrote that the investigation dented Duffy’s reputation and the Senate’s decision to suspend him without pay for two years delivered him a net loss of $155,867. Bayne wrote that seeking $8 for personal photos now is “unseemly in the extreme’’ and “smacks of petty vindictiveness.’’ A letter from Duffy’s office accuses the committee of refusing to accept the court’s judgment and describes the Senate’s actions as a “collateral attack’’ on Vaillancourt. Duffy pleaded not guilty to 31 counts of fraud, breach of trust and bribery and was cleared of all charges in April, with the Crown later saying it would not appeal the verdict.
SELECT STANDING COMMITTEE ON HEALTH
HOUSING GROUP TO FORM
Chair: Linda Larson, MLA (Boundary-Similkameen) | Deputy Chair: Judy Darcy, MLA (New Westminster)
TORONTO — The federal government is creating a working group on housing with the Ontario and B.C. governments as well as officials from Vancouver and Toronto. Finance Minister Bill Morneau said the housing market is “sound’’ but since the financial crisis pockets of risk have emerged. He said it’s important all levels of government work together because taking action on the Vancouver market could have unintended consequences on people in Calgary or Halifax, for example. The group has not yet been formed, but Morneau said it will meet through the summer to review factors affecting housing supply and demand, affordability and stability of the market. The Bank of Canada has warned housing prices in Vancouver and Toronto are rising at an unsustainable pace beyond economic fundamentals. — The Canadian Press
HEALTH CARE IN BRITISH COLUMBIA The all-party Select Standing Committee on Health is seeking information on how to ensure the quality and sustainability of our province’s health care system.

Activists want Trudeau to push human rights with Pena Nieto THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — A group of female human rights activists from Mexico is calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to show his true feminist credentials and challenge their country’s president on its human rights record. Trudeau is scheduled to host Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto during a visit next week before the North American leaders’ summit, which will also include U.S. President Barack Obama. The so-called “three amigos’’ will focus on strengthening continental economic co-operation and will likely issue a statement that reinforces their shared commitment to fight climate change. But four formidable Mexican women — members of the Nobel Women’s Initiative — are calling on Trudeau to push Pena Nieto publicly on the carnage and violence in Mexico since the start of its war on drug cartels a decade ago, especially its effect on women. The internationally recognized activists, representing torture victims, missing people and other victims of abuse by their coun-
try’s security services, were in Ottawa this week for talks with the government with the assistance of Amnesty International. In a letter to Trudeau, Amnesty asks him to place human rights issues at the forefront of his discussion with his Mexican counterpart, citing the disappearances of 27,000 Mexicans since the country embarked on its bloody war against drug cartels in 2006. Trudeau and Pena Nieto struck up a friendship when they met last fall at a pair of international summits in Turkey and the Philippines — their photos were jointly splashed across the front page of a Manila newspaper declaring them “APEC hotties.’’ “This is the propaganda campaign of Mexico. It’s fabulous. They’re really very, very good. I don’t know who could be a friend of Pena Nieto,’’ said Marta Sanchez, the co-ordinator of an organization trying to bring justice to the families of 120,000 migrant workers who disappeared between 2006 and 2015. Trudeau can affect change in Mexico, she said, “by not letting [Pena Nieto] get away
with it. Sanchez and her three colleagues point to reports by organizations such as Amnesty, Human Rights Watch and others. They also cite a March 2015 report by the UN special rapporteur on torture. Juan Mendez wrote that torture of detained people in Mexico was widespread and occurred “in a context of impunity, the aim usually being to inflict punishment or to extract confessions or information.’’ He blamed police, “all jurisdictions of the armed forces’’ as well as some doctors, defence lawyers, prosecutors and judges. Brenda Rangel is the co-founder of an organization that searches for the loved ones of “disappeared’’ Mexicans who have gone missing in the last decade, including her brother, who hasn’t been seen since 2009. Since then, she said she’s been threatened with death, vivisection and having her eyes burned with a welding torch. “This is something that the government doesn’t like,’’ Rangel said. The UN report linked the increase in
violence to the escalation in the war on drug traffickers former Mexican president Felipe Calderon began in 2006. Since then, complaints of torture and ill-treatment by authorities topped 2,100 in 2012, after an average of about 320 a year before 2007. The UN report also expressed particular concern about sexual violence against female detainees, including forced nudity and “repeated rape by multiple individuals.’’ Alex Neve, head of Amnesty International Canada wants Trudeau to raise human rights issues with Pena Nieto during their meetings and in talks with Obama, so they aren’t “pushed to the side.’’ Sources have told The Canadian Press the government, which has already committed to lifting the visa requirement, intends to announce its plans for keeping that promise when Pena Nieto is in town. Canadian officials are pushing to have the plans linked to the implementation of a new electronic travel authorization system that was supposed to have been in place by March of this year but has been delayed.

ASK A FELINE SPECIALIST A CELEBRATION OF CATS AND DOGS
system One study showed that children who grow up with pets or on a farm have 33% less risk of developing allergies and asthma later in life, compared to children who have minimal contact with animals. And last, but certainly not least, animals connect us to the other creatures that share our planet. A recent editorial in the Globe and Mail (May 14, 2016) marvelled at the remarkable outpouring of emotion and concern for abandoned pets threatened by the flames at Fort McMurray. The writer suggested that when we develop a deep attachment to a pet, it becomes obvious to us that animals, like us, experience both pleasure and pain. The editorial concluded, “They (pets) are not human, but neither are they things.” As a society, we are gradually learning to extend that empathy not just to pets, but to all the creatures that share our world.
Although pet ownership is not for everyone, the fact that there are approximately 7 million pet cats and 6.5 million pet dogs in Canada suggests that many people enjoy having a furry companion! There are few moments in life as cheering as being met at the front door by a dog that is eager to greet you, or as comforting as snuggling with a soft, purring cat. Pet visits also brighten the lives of people who are confined to nursing homes, hospitals, and other institutions. The positive effect that pets have on our lives has been confirmed by many studies, including one that found that people who lived with a pet were less likely to suffer from depression compared to those who lived alone, perhaps because owning a pet gives us a sense of purpose as well as companionship and enjoyment. There is more to it than just “feeling good about pets”: several studies have revealed that pet ownership has a measureable effect on human Dr Diane McKelvey practices health, including lowered blood pressure and cholesterol levels. feline and canine medicine at This may be one reason why heart Aberdeen Veterinary Hospital attack survivors who have pets in Kamloops,which has been survive longer than those without. recognized by the American And although living with a pet is Association of Feline Practitioners problematic for people with petrelated allergies, pets may even have as a Gold Level Cat Friendly a positive impact on our immune Practice.

Class action filed against TD THE CANADIAN PRESS
Lawsuit alleges customers short-changed by machines
TORONTO — A Canadian class-action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of people who have allegedly been shortchanged by TD Bank coincounting machines over a three-year period. The suit alleges the bank had learned of numerous accuracy problems with its coin-counting machines in the United States, but still proceeded with a national rollout of the machines across Canada in January 2013.
The plaintiff in the case is a Kitchener, Ont. woman named Lisa Ram, who says she counted and sorted her coins before she deposited them in a TD Bank coincounting machine in the city. Ram says she had a total of $854.25, but was not credited for $159.50 after depositing the coins. She alleges she complained to TD Bank, but they failed to remedy the situation. The allegations have not
been proven in court. A spokeswoman for TD Bank declined a request for comment, saying in an email the bank could not comment on the pending litigation. A statement of claim filed against the bank in Ontario by the Toronto law firm Sotos LLP says the Canadian machines were retired shortly after they were retired in the United States in May 2016. The suit was filed as a
class action on behalf of everyone who used TD Bank’s coin-changing machines in Canada between Jan. 1, 2013 and May 25, 2016. In order to proceed as a class action, the Canadian suit requires certification from the Ontario Superior Court. Similar claims have been filed against the bank in the United States on behalf of customers who used the U.S. machines.

Concerns raised over using woman in head scarf for Syrian refugee program ad THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Concerns raised by Canadians over the Liberal government’s plan to resettle 25,000 Syrian refugees included questions about whether the program should be advertised with a photo of a woman wearing a head scarf. The photo was one of five put before eight focus groups last November and December by the civil servants supporting the Prime Minister’s Office. They were testing ads to promote the resettlement program and were told using that photo might create a problem, a perception most common in the two Montreal groups. “Some felt that by showing a single mother wearing a head scarf, this image may generate negative reactions among members of the general public who were reluctant to accept refugees by reinforcing some negative stereotypes associated with Syrian refugees,’’ said a report on the discussions, posted online by the Privy Council Office. Those who liked the picture said it sent an important message. The photo of the woman in the head scarf and one featuring a group of children still appear on the Immigration Department’s website as the push continues to settle Syrians. The effort to bring 25,000 to Canada in a matter of four months began in November and, a few days later, questions were added to the regular meetings the Privy Council Office holds with groups across the country to discuss current events. Those in Halifax and Vancouver, B.C. were most supportive, while participants from Toronto and Montreal were more divided. Those who supported the plan felt it was what Canada was about, the report said. “They viewed Canada as a country of immigrants that welcomed those in need: ‘This is what we do’.’’ Those ambivalent also felt that way, the report said, but wanted more time taken to ensure everything was done right. Those who opposed it said Canadian needs should be met first. Concerns were also raised about a lack of resources to integrate new arrivals. Between Nov. 27, 2015 and the end of March, the Immigration Department spent about $166,300 for online ads, according to information released in the House of Commons. The campaign included ads on Facebook and Twitter and $60,000 for ads that would show up on search engine websites if anyone looked up dozens of related terms, including “how to help refugees.’’

STORM AFTERMATH
JUNIOR B HOCKEY TEAM’S MOVE AFFECTS OTHER USER GROUPS AT MEMORIAL, MCARTHUR ARENAS KTW FILE PHOTO
Travis Lulay was among the CFL starting quarterbacks who were injured last season. In his absence, Jonathon Jennings grabbed the Leos’ No. 1 QB gig.
Healthy, for now CFL KICKOFF GAME #1
BILL BEACON
THE CANADIAN PRESS
MONTREAL — Quarterbacks dropped like flies last season and Canadian Football League teams are praying it won’t happen again. Darian Durant of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, Mike Reilly of the Edmonton Eskimos and Jonathan Crompton of the Montreal Alouettes — plus his backup Dan LeFevour — all went down with major injuries in their first game of the 2015 season. Toronto Argonauts veteran Ricky Ray missed almost the entire campaign after shoulder surgery, Winnipeg Blue Bombers QB Drew Willy blew a right knee ligament in Week 7, B.C. Lions star Travis Lulay injured a knee in his ninth game and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats’ Zach Collaros went down in September with a busted knee. It left back-ups and newcomers running most of the offences in a season that saw a second-year franchise, the Ottawa Redblacks whose 40-year-old quarterback Henry Burris stayed fit as a fiddle, reach the Grey Cup game. “I think it was just that year,’’ said Montreal’s new starter Kevin Glenn. “There have been years when you didn’t get those kinds of injuries at the quarterback position. In Vancouver, Lulay’s injury gave a chance to Jonathan Jennings to show what he could do. The 23-year-old went 3-3 in six starts and got the starting assignment for the West Division semifinal. This season, Jennings is pegged as the starter, but with a healthy Lulay ready to take over if he falters.

Saturday, June 25 Calgary @ B.C. 7 p.m. B.C. Place Stadium Over in Calgary, Bo Levi Mitchell spent the off-season working on fitness after leading the Stamps to a 14-4 record last season. The 26-year-old is ably backed up by Drew Tate in one of the CFL’s top QB tandems. “In this league, you’ve got to be mobile,’’ said the third-year starter, who has seen his offensive co-ordinator Dave Dickenson promoted to head coach. Winnipeg is hoping Willy can stay healthy after two injuryplagued seasons and that, with Weston Dressler now in the receiving corps, the Bombers can end a four-year playoff drought. His injury last season left Matt Nicholls and Brian Brohm to carry the load. The Roughriders plunged to 3-15 last season without Durant, who blew out an Achilles tendon in the opener against Winnipeg. Glenn took over until he was traded, but Brett Smith got most of the work. Smith and B.J. Coleman are now the backups with the 2013 Grey Cup MVP back healthy. Ottawa is sticking with Burris and even restructured the 19-year veteran’s contract to run through 2017.

When the Kamloops Storm approached the City of Kamloops about making Memorial Arena the club’s permanent home, it seemed a perfect fit. “We looked at it and said, ‘Yeah, it would work and it could be a win-win for everyone,’” Jeff Putnam, the city’s manager of parks, sustainability and civic facilities, told KTW. “It’s something, we’re certainly excited about having a primary tenant at Memorial and it also frees up space at McArthur Island with lots of demand there. We think it will be a win-win.” The Storm announced Wednesday they will play all 24 of their home games at the downtown rink, ending their 10-year tenure as the main tenant of the McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre. The move will mean some reshuffling for sports around the Tournament Capital. Minor hockey, which occupied the majority of time at Memorial in the winter months prior to the Storm’s move, will now occupy a greater portion of the ice time on McArthur Island. Weekend tournaments hosted by the Kamloops Minor Hockey Association
will also more often be played on the island, with two sheets of ice side-by-side making for a more convenient experience. The move will also have its benefits for non-hockey groups in Kamloops. “At McArthur Island, we’ve got several partners within the facility we work with,” Putnam said. “There’s two speedskating clubs, there’s figure skating clubs, there’s a curling club, there’s, of course, the Storm and minor hockey and all the adult groups — so it’s a very busy facility. “The time that has been freed up from the Storm’s former use . . .
it works out quite beneficially for those partners back at McArthur Island because now some more prime time is becoming available.” The move has received relatively little criticism thus far. Steven Puhallo — executive director of the North Shore Business Improvement Association, which traditionally has opposed moving any amenities from the North Shore — said he didn’t have any thoughts on the impact of what many considered to be the North Shore’s hockey team moving to the South Shore. “It’s not something we’ve thought about,”
he told KTW. “The Kamloops Storm have always been the Kamloops Storm, whether you live on the South Shore or the North Shore.” The Storm aren’t the first Kamloops-based hockey club to seek permanent residency at Memorial Arena. In recent years, the Thompson Blazers of the B.C. Major Midget League have made a number of attempts to move the home portion of their season slate to the downtown rink, to no avail. A representative from the Blazers could not be reached by KTW’s press deadline.

New format, schedule for Canada West silver medallists ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Thompson Rivers WolfPack will start the 2016-2017 Canada West basketball season on home court. The men’s and women’s Wolves will open the campaign at the Tournament Capital Centre on Nov. 4 and Nov. 5, host to the UBC Thunderbirds. The WolfPack will play a balanced schedule throughout the 20-game season, with their longest road trip spanning two weekends — Nov. 11 to Nov. 19 against the Manitoba Bisons and Alberta Pandas/Golden Bears — and their longest homestand running from Jan. 6 to Jan. 14 against the Victoria Vikes and Winnipeg Wesmen. The men will play host to the defending Canada West cham-
pions, the Calgary Dinos, on Feb. 3 and Feb. 4. The defending women’s champions, the Saskatchewan Huskies, will not play Thompson Rivers this season. The 2016-2017 campaign marks the first for a new Canada West format, with the Pioneer and Explorer Divisions no longer in effect. The 17 Canada West basketball schools will now play in a single conference. Each team will play four opponents annually — in TRU’s case the Thunderbirds, UBC-Okanagan Heat, UNBC Timberwolves and Victoria Vikes — with games against six of the remaining 12 opponents every other year. Over a four-year rotation, each team will play every team in the conference at least twice and will visit every gym in the Canada West
at least once. For the Pack in 2016-2017, it means home games against the Thunderbirds, Heat, Vikes, Wesmen and Dinos, and road trips to face the Bisons, Golden Bears and Pandas, Timberwolves, Fraser Valley Cascades and Regina Cougars. The post-season will feature 12 teams playing in a bracketed structure over a threeweek span. The top four teams will receive a bye in the first week of playoffs, which will feature four best-ofthree series. The quarter-finals will also be best-ofthree series, leading to the Final Four hosted by the highest remaining seed. Both the men’s and women’s Wolfpack will play identical schedules, differing only in tipoff times. The men’s WolfPack is coming off a silvermedal finish in the
Canada West last season and the club’s first trip to the CIS national championship, while the women were bounced by the Pandas in the first round of the post-season. The CIS men’s Final Eight will be held in Halifax, co-hosted by Dalhousie and Acadia universities, while the University of Victoria will host the women’s championship.
Volodymyr Iegorov and the Thompson Rivers WolfPack are coming off a silver-medal finish at last season’s Canada West Final Four and the program’s first berth at the CIS national championship. The Pack’s regular season opens on Nov. 4 at the Tournament Capital Centre to face the UBC Thunderbirds. KTW FILE PHOTO

Soccer, volleyball return to Thompson Rivers ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Hillside Stadium will see its first action of the Thompson Rivers WolfPack soccer season on Aug. 27. The 2016 schedule, released by the Canada West Universities Athletic Association last week, opens with the WolfPack men playing host to the perennial powerhouse UBC Thunderbirds in the first match of the season. The Wolves will take on the Victoria Vikes the following afternoon. The Canada West has increased the length of its men’s season in 2016, adding four matches to bring the total to 16 contests. The WolfPack’s debut comes two weeks earlier than in 2015 with the August start. Thompson Rivers will play home and away against each Pacific Conference club, a group that includes the Thunderbirds,
Vikes, Fraser Valley Cascades, Trinity Western Spartans, UBCOkanagan Heat and UNBC Thunderbirds. They will also play interconference matches for the first time this season, at Hillside Stadium for contests against the Lethbridge Pronghorns and Calgary Dinos and on the road to face the MacEwan Griffins and Alberta Golden Bears. The Pack’s regular season will conclude on Oct. 22, with quarterfinal action to begin for eight teams on Oct. 29. The format of the WolfPack women’s soccer schedule, meanwhile, remains unchanged. The Wolves will begin the campaign in Alberta, taking on the Dinos and Pronghorns on the weekend of Sept. 10. They will return to Kamloops for their first home matches on the weekend of Sept. 17, hosting the Alberta Pandas and UNBC
Timberwolves. The women will play a 14-match regular season, home and away with divisional rivals Alberta, UNBC and UBC-Okanagan, and with singles against Calgary, Lethbridge, Victoria, UBC, Trinity Western, Fraser Valley, the Regina Cougars and the Saskatchewan Huskies. The women’s regular season will wrap on Oct. 23 and the 12-team
playoffs will begin on Oct. 29.
Welcome Alberta
For the second consecutive season, the Thompson Rivers WolfPack will open the Canada West volleyball campaign against one of the Canada West’s most dominant franchises. The schedule, released by the Canada West Universities Athletic Association
on Wednesday, has the men’s and women’s Wolves at home to the Alberta Pandas and Golden Bears to start 2016-2017, after beginning 2015-2016 at the Edmonton-based university. Thompson Rivers will open the season on Oct. 28 and Oct. 29. The WolfPack will alternate home and road matches for the first three weeks of the season, their first two-
weekend homestand coming in November. Four matches will be the Pack’s longest span as hosts — they will be home to the Mount Royal Cougars on Nov. 11 and Nov. 12 and the UBC Thunderbirds on Nov. 18 and Nov. 19. Meanwhile, a sixmatch trip will be Thompson Rivers’ longest series away from TCC, with matches against the MacEwan Griffins of Edmonton,
Calgary Dinos and Trinity Western Spartans, the defending champions in both men’s and women’s volleyball. The trip will run from Nov. 25 to Dec. 14. Thompson Rivers will play each team in the Canada West once this season, before the post-season opens on March 3. For more information on both schedules, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com.

Pitcher-first baseman Tobin Huffman will play in the Grade 12 allstar tilt, while secondbaseman/catcher Rhys McKenzie and pitcher/ outfielder Hayden Bennett will compete in the Grade 11 showcase game. RiverDogs’ manager Sean Wandler is one of the all-star coaches. Kamloops players Jared Pringle, Ethan Senger and Brendan Mucha will attend a 16-and-under development camp this weekend in Aldergrove. The break will give the RiverDogs time to regroup ahead of their drive toward the playoffs. Kamloops dropped a pair of games to hometown Cloverdale last Sunday, falling 11-7

Kamloops’ games against the Vancouver Mounties last Saturday were rained out. The RiverDogs (7-17) enter the all-star break in seventh place in the eight-team midget AAA tier 1 division. The West Kelowna D-Backs (7-21) are in last place. The Nanaimo Buccaneers (27-7) are atop the division and Cloverdale (26-5) is not far behind in second place.

NO STRIKE POWER
PARIS — With the European Championship group stage over, UEFA proudly flagged up a statistic yesterday: No team won all three games. Not World Cup holder Germany and certainly not two-time defending European champion Spain, which only advanced to the round of 16 as a group runner-up. The lack of walkovers and dead-rubber group games provides some vindication for UEFA after eight teams were added to make its showpiece a 24-team event. Here is an overview of the group stage as the continental championship takes a pause before resuming tomorrow with three matches — Swizerland vs. Poland, 6 a.m.; Wales vs. Northern Ireland, 9 a.m.; and Croatia vs. Portugal, noon:
Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic and riots were among the disappointing features of Euro 2016 group play, but the tournament has been full of excitement and surprises.
STANDOUT GAME
It took until the final round of matches and Game 34 for the most chaotically entertaining fixture: A six-goal thriller between Portugal and Hungary. It saw more than three times the average number of goals (1.92) per group stage game in France, the lowest since Euro ‘92, which featured only eight teams. The 3-3 draw between Portugal and Hungary was far more open than some of the tight, cagey and — in some cases — simply dull games. Cristiano Ronaldo rediscovered his scoring touch with a flicked goal and a towering header as four goals were scored in 17 minutes. And Ronaldo set new
HISTORY MAKERS
Part of the joy of the expanded European Championship was the appearance of five new teams. They weren’t pushovers. Far from it. And the joy of their fans was infectious as some tasted the big-stage for the first time in soccer. Only Albania went home early as Iceland, Northern Ireland, Slovakia and Wales marched into the round of 16. Wales was even the joint-top scorer in the group stage, alongside Hungary, with six goals.

BIG IMPRESSION
The world’s most expensive player lived up to his 100 millioneuro price tag on his tournament debut as Wales forward Gareth Bale scored in all three games, upstaging Real Madrid teammate Cristiano Ronaldo. And yet Wales wasn’t overlyreliant on Bale, who scored only half the team’s goals. The breakthrough star of the group stage was Dimitri Payet, who wasn’t a first-team regular for France before the tournament but now seems indispensable. The attacking midfielder clinched wins against Romania and Albania, unburdened by the
Zlatan Ibrahimovic made little impression on his final major tournament with Sweden, failing to score as his team bowed out before the knockout phase. It meant the striker ended his international career without any honours with Sweden. In failing to score, Ibrahimovic was in good company. But at least Mario Mandzukic (Croatia), Robert Lewandowski (Poland) and Harry Kane (England) all get a chance to get off the mark in the round of 16.
SHAME ON THEM
Security was ramped up for Euro 2016 following last year’s deadly extremist attacks in Paris. But the policing challenges for the tournament so far have centred on hooliganism. Marseille has seen the worst of the disorder. It began with clashes between Russia and England fans in Marseille in the opening days of the tournament, but in recent days water cannons and tear gas were also deployed to disperse unruly Poland fans in the southern city. In stadiums, flares and firecrackers have led to a spate of UEFA fines: Russia (150,000 euros), Hungary (65,000 euros), Croatia (100,000 euros), while proceedings are ongoing against Albania, Belgium, Romania and Turkey.
RUSSIA WANTS INTO RIO Russian athletes pleaded Wednesday to be allowed to compete at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, making their case two days before the IAAF decides whether to lift its ban on the country’s track and field team. The Russian Olympic Committee athletes’ commission sent a letter to IOC President Thomas Bach asking for his support of its clean athletes. Russia was suspended from international track and field by the IAAF after a World Anti-Doping Agency report alleged widespread, state-sponsored doping. The IAAF council meets today in Vienna to decide whether to maintain the ban. The International Olympic Committee has scheduled a summit of sports leaders on Tuesday to consider Russia’s eligibility.

C
anada’s national anthem has a long history. First written by Sir Adolphe-Basile Routhier and Calixa Lavalee, O Canada became our anthem on July 1, 1980 — 100 years after it was first sung on June 24, 1880. Over the years, our anthem saw several English versions and revisions. The anthem we sing today is from the 1908 version by Judge Robert Stanley Weir. Weir’s rendition is an inspiring composition, yet few Canadians have ever heard what he intended to be the final verse. The words go like this: “Ruler Supreme, who hearest humble prayer/Hold our dominion within thy loving care/Help us to find, O God, in thee/A lasting, rich reward/As waiting for the better day/We ever stand on guard/O Canada, glorious and free/O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.” What an important message for our nation today. The good news is our ruler supreme still hears the humble prayers of his people

FAITH
and still desires to answer with his transforming power. When we sing the deeply spiritual words in our national anthem, as quoted from the prophetic words from Psalm 72:8 inscribed at the entryway to our national parliament, they present a stunning contrast to the moral degeneration and erosion of values we have witnessed in recent years. These things can discourage us but, as people of faith, we must take heart because God is still at work. Imagine what could happen if believers from sea to sea committed themselves to pray for the nation and spread the gospel message in every community across this land. Most Canadians are law-abiding citizens.
But there are others who are fed up with unfairness, corruption and unconcerned inefficiencies and are tempted to take the law into their own hands. They like the ring of the bell of freedom or want to hear the hammer of justice but are tired of prolonged intrusive bureaucracy. It is certainly true the government that governs least governs best. That’s why Paul’s views on authorities and governments, depicted in chapter 13 of the book of Romans, might surprise them. Speaking to the church at Rome, Paul said love is the only law we need. His prescription for a smooth relationship between government and its citizens is based on a strange combination of officialdom and love. What does love have to do with paying taxes or staying within the highway speed limits? Everything. Paul does not simply fill up space, but is serious to encourage the faithful to obey the civil government wholeheartedly. Wherever there are people, there’s bound to be a government of
some kind. To Paul, all governments are in power because God has put them there. This means all governments, despotic dictatorships included, are part of God’s plan and permissive will. Tyrants carry out his purposes along with the saints. Paul had still more reasons for his teachings on obeying civil powers. They apply just as readily today as they did in his time. For example, Paul knew no man can completely disassociate himself from his community. Being a member of a society brings responsibilities as well as privileges. A man has duties to his nation as well as to his church even if he does not agree with everything the government stands for or does. Controversies over governments — what kind, how much, how little — have raged since time began. But there is little doubt about the necessity of it. Without the organization and the protection of the state, we would all be forced to live by the law of the jungle — the survival
of the strong and the vicious. But perhaps Paul’s most important reason for counselling the church at Rome to support the government of the day was because he saw Rome as God’s tool for keeping the lid on an otherwise hopelessly explosive situation. St. Paul believed in using the peaceful situation that prevailed during Rome’s rule of his time, pax Romana, to the advantage of the gospel. As long as there was peace, Paul saw greater opportunity to spread the gospel. In Paul’s mind, the Roman government was helping him to do his missionary work. For this reason, the wise Christian would always try to help, not hinder, the state. And so, Paul gives a refresher course on good citizenship in Romans 13: Obey the
laws of the land, cooperate with the authorities, pay your taxes and give honour to high offices. The Christian citizen’s first question is not, “What are my rights? Am I getting justice?” His first concern is: “Am I living by the law of love?” The Christian who lives by the law of love does not see authorities as a threat. Nor does he see imperfections or even gross errors in government as reasons to riot or demonstrate unlawfully. On the other hand, the Christian is not a bystander in his society. Actually, he should be in the thick of the battle for justice, morality and righteousness. But the Christian operates with a different motive. He seeks justice for all, yes, but justice
is primarily a negative concept based on avoiding or preventing the doing of wrong to others. The law of love goes beyond justice. It seeks the positive doing of good to others. It is the only law a Christian needs. If we are looking for a life verse, we might consider Romans 13:14: Ask the Lord to help you live as you should and don’t make plans to enjoy evil (LB). “God keep our land…” Happy 149th , Canada!

Obituaries & In Memoriam Catherine “Edith” Watkinson
Tom suddenly passed away, she stayed strong for the family through her loss.
(nee Campbell)
January 1, 1921 - June 19, 2016 Our beloved mother, grandmother, greatgrandmother, the matriarch of our family, passed peacefully from this earth plane into the arms of those who passed before her. Edith was born in the family’s five room cottage on the RossShire Croft, located in the Scottish Highlands near Dingwall. ‘Dolly’ as she was affectionately known by her family was the sixth child of nine born to Mary and Donald Campbell. Her childhood was spent on the croft tending to the animals, doing chores, and playing in the nearby woods. When Edith turned fourteen she helped Grannie Campbell deliver babies for women in the area. The family often had music and dancing in their home. Her brothers played different instruments and mom loved the bag pipes. Mom met her husband Tom Watkinson, who was with the Canadian Forestry Corps, Company 30, in Edinburgh in October 1942. They were engaged February 1943 and married August 21, 1943. Edith served as a WRNS during the war. She worked in communications in a Naval Office in London, adjacent to Winston Churchill. After she was married, Edith was transferred to Inver Gordon where she received a ‘compassionate discharge suitable for re-engagement’ on December 31, 1944. Fred was born before Tom went overseas to Normandy, France. Dad and mom spent ten minutes together with Fred on June 21, 1944. When the war ended, Tom was shipped home arriving in Vancouver, January 9, 1946. Mom and Fred arrived in Lytton 6 months later after sailing across the Atlantic and traveling by train across Canada. Thus began her new adventure in Canada. Edith loved her seven children: Fred (Barb), Rosslyn (Rolly), Mary (Paddy), Heather (Wayne), Tom Jr. (Anita), Harvey (Terry), and Lindy. We lived in Lillooet and then moved to the Fosters Bar Ranch where she taught us the value of hard work and creative play. We tended her gardens, did chores, and together we canned and stored food for the winter months. While Tom worked away, Edith ran the ranch. Edith lost her husband Tom, the love of her life on August 3, 1978. She carried on living and working the ranch. Despite being devastated when
Raymond Joseph Bertoli May 16, 1931 – June 22, 2016
On June 22, 2016 in the early morning hours at Marjorie Willoughby Hospice, Ray’s battle with cancer came to an end. Born May 16, 1931 at the C.N. Junction yard in Campbell Creek, he was delivered at home by his grandmother Adelaide Giacomuzi (Ida). Born to proud parents (Achille) Pete Bertoli and Santa Sarah Bertoli, Ray joined his older brother Roy (1926) and older sisters Jean (1927) and Nora (1929). Ray was followed by Ross (1935) and Betty (1938). Pete a C.N. Track section foreman, and Sarah a homemaker taught their children the value of hard work and the importance of family. In his younger years Ray had a strong passion to be in the outdoors, hunting and fishing with his dad and brothers. Ray started his family in 1958 son John, daughter Theresa 1960, son Gary 1963 and son Robert 1968. As a young man Ray held jobs at the Campbell Creek Hop Farm, where he learned to drive a 3 in the tree. He then came to town and worked in construction helping build Kam-High and the Tranquille Sanitarium. Ray’s future would forever change in 1953 when he was hired by Frank and John Turner who were the owners of Inland Building Supply, 742 Victoria Street. There, Ray would meet and work with Helen Saemerow (hired 1945). In 1969 with failing health and the death of Frank Turner, Ray and Helen approached John Turner of Inland Building Supplies to purchase the company. With all the new construction on the North Shore, they took a huge risk and started Inland Building Supply 1969 Ltd. at 660 Kingston Avenue. With the help of family and friend they opened their doors in October 1969. Blood, sweat, tears and determination were the ingredients to create a business that became a family operation that achieved incredible success for over 38 years. Ray and Helen were very proud that they supported the community that supported them, they generously donated to the Royal Inland Hospital, many
Over the years mom entertained many people at the ranch. In the book “Trails to Gold” the author stated, ‘No longer a roadhouse in the true sense of the word, the Watkinsons’ comfortable farmhouse receives many visitors each year, royally entertained by Mrs. Edith Watkinson, a Scottish War Bride’. Edith was a generous host, and enjoyed visiting with people over tea or a meal. She was able to make a meal stretch to accommodate the number of people at the table. She was kind and generous, and would never think to turn someone away. Edith loved having each one of her grandchildren stay with her at the ranch. She was there for them all and she made each one feel special. Later she enjoyed the many great grandchildren who would visit her at Red Rock Manor. Mom had 14 grandchildren, 4 step-grandchildren, 22 great-grandchildren and 6 step-great-grandchildren. She truly was our anchor and matriarch of our large family. Edith moved to Lillooet in 1998. She spent her time volunteering at Mountain View, the Legion and the United Church. She frequently travelled to Scotland and also visited Australia and Fiji with her dear friend Olive Swann. She loved her new found freedom away from the ranch. She spent her final months closer to her family in Kamloops at the Overlander Extended Care. We will always remember her wise advice for a good life: “Be good and work hard. Help each other and help other people as much as you can”. We would like to thank the many people who took special care of our mom, especially Dr. Miller, Dr. Pearlman, & Lindy Watkinson, RN of Lillooet and District Hospital, and the amazing, caring staff at the Overlander Extended Care in Kamloops. In lieu of flowers, please live as Edith did, by affirming your love to one another each and every day. Those who wish to make donations in Edith’s memory may do so to the Lillooet Hospital Foundation. At Edith’s request, the family will hold a Celebration of Life on August 6, 2016 at the Lillooet Legion at 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., followed by interment at the Family Cemetery at Fosters Bar Ranch. Rest in Peace our dear and much loved Mom, ‘little’ Gramma, and GG Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family at www.MyAlternatives.ca Cremation arrangements entrusted to ALTERNATIVES FUNERAL & CREMATION SERVICES® Armstrong 250-546-7237 & Vernon 250-558-0866
charities and organizations as well as multiple sports team sponsorships. In 2013 Ray married Phyllis Guzzi and shortly after Ray was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma a form of Blood Cancer. In their retirement Ray and Phyllis traveled to Italy twice, where Ray was able to visit his father’s home town of Udine. They also made trips to Alaska, Hawaii and Mexico. Ray also loved spending time at the family farm in Rose Hill, cutting hay and chasing cattle. Ray was predeceased by his infant sister Mary (SIDS) his father Pete, mother Sarah, brother Roy and sister Nora. Ray is survived by sisters Jean, Betty/Edson, brother Ross/Mairead, his loving wife Phyllis, her daughters Tona/Alfred and Cathy/Jack, Ray’s daughter Theresa/ Doug, son’s John/Charleen, Gary/Corrine, Robert/ Debbie, numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren and cherished family. The family would like to thank the following people for all their love, compassion and guidance in this difficult time, Mark & Donna Bertoli, Dr. Proctor, the staff at the 6th Floor of RIH, the wonderful guardian angels at the Marjorie Willoughby Hospice and Dr. Holman who truly goes above and beyond and makes a difference every day. Ray believed in people and he believed in Kamloops. His life shines as an example of compassion determination and kindness. Your many lifelong friends will miss you Ray, but we will never forget your example. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the BC Cancer Society or the Marjorie Willoughby Hospice. Prayers are to be held Wednesday, June 29th at 7:00 pm at Holy Family Parish Church. The service will be held Thursday, June 30th at 11:00 am at Holy Family Parish. Ray’s family would like to invite you to a gathering of family and friends at the Colombo Lodge at 1:00 pm to follow. Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com.

Footprints One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two set of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. “Lord, you said that once I decided to followed you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me.” The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”

We miss you Derek!
The moment that you died My heart was torn in two One side filled with heartache, The other died with you. I often lie awake at night, When the world is fast sleep, and Take a walk down memory lane, With tears upon my cheeks. Remembering you is easy, I do it every day, But missing you is heartache That never goes away. I hold you tightly within my heart And there you will remain. Until the joyous day arrives, That we will meet again.
Hugs and Kisses
Love Mom, Dad, Brent, Jess, your new Nephew Derek Roy and all you family and friends!
After raising their six children, Ellen and Fred moved to Kamloops in 1984 and started travelling by motorhome all over Canada and the US, many times taking some of their children and grandchildren with them. One of the highlights of their travels was a trip to Korea. After her husband Fred passed away in 2004, Ellen lived on her own for many years where she focused her travels on her trips across the street to play Bingo. Ellen’s last 18 months were spent at Gemstone Care Centre where she received wonderful care from the staff. A special thank you to Colleen. Ellen was predeceased by two of her children Bob Jackson and Jim Smith and a grandson Allan Ross. She will be greatly missed by her remaining children Sandra Rodgers, Barb Ross, Darlene (Lorne) Christianson and Len (Eva) Smith as well as her many loving grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Flowers gratefully declined, memorial tributes may be made directly to the charity of your choice.

First Memorial Funeral Service
Derek September 23, 1988 – June 24, 2008
Mary Ellen Smith passed away on Monday, June 20, 2016 at the age of 97 years. Ellen was born on May 9, 1919 at North East Point in Shelburne County, Nova Scotia to Emma Mae and Charles Edgar Crowell. She was the oldest of three girls and grew up in a small fishing community called Port La Tour. The daughter of a fisherman, she spent many days and nights with her dad fishing on the ocean. At the age of 18, Ellen married Arthur Jackson having three children before sadly losing her husband in the war. Ellen valiantly took in boarders to help raise her children and it was during that time she was introduced to Frederick Allan Smith eventually marrying again and moving from Nova Scotia to Creston, BC. Ellen was very active in the community spending many years serving as president of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Royal Canadian Legion. She loved to cook and one of her favorite joys was hosting dinners with all her family. Hobbies included knitting, crafting and gardening, where you could always find a jar of preserves to take home.

Q.Can’t Murray be cremated in a cardboard box? A. Yes, but we won’t use cardboard. Why? Well, it’s the last thing we’re doing for Murray, so we’re sending him out in style. Also, we charge less for a wood box ($175) than many funeral homes charge for a cardboard box (up to $300). But, if someone insists on cardboard, we refer.

When the Chimera Theatre Society was asked to create a special production for Sun Peaks resort’s summer season, Andrew Cooper knew he wanted to bring something special to the mountain community. “I thought, if I were at a resort and on vacation, what would I want to see?” said the author of the troupe’s latest production, Knights of the Sun. “And the answer for me was sword fighting.” Billing itself as Medieval Tournament Theatre, Knights of the Sun is sure to scratch that particular itch. All told, the twohour show features six full sword fights — the centrepiece of the tournament that will run almost every weekend until Aug. 28. The show, cocreated by Cooper and Taylor McCallum and loosely based on the Hundred Years’ War between France and Britain, tells the story of two knights, both hoping to be crowned the Champion of the Sun at a summer tournament. Along the way, they’ll encounter all the trappings of a medieval day out, from

Artisan market Thursdays through summer
The Kamloops Artisan Market continues to Sept. 29 in the 400-block of Victoria Street in front of the Kamloops Art Gallery. The market, a creation of the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association and local artists, is designed to showcase the works of local artisans. About 30 vendors are expected for the opening day, along with other entertainment. The markets will run every Thursday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information, go online to kamloopsartisanmarket.com.

royals and romances to courtly intrigues. To kick off the evening, audience members meet at the Tourism Sun Peaks office before heading off with the cast to the tournament grounds to take in the kind of entertainment that would have surrounded a tournament, from puppet shows and song to arm wrestling and
fortune telling. Once the plot is in motion and the stakes are set, the tournament begins. Cooper said setting up the show’s climactic battles was one of the production’s greatest challenges. “Real sword fighting doesn’t look anything like it does in the movies or even in theatre,” he said. “Real sword fighting
is quick and effective — you’re trying to be a killing machine — and movie sword fights are sometimes over-thetop spectacle. “We tried to find a middle ground. We wanted people to think that it’s being realistic, but also have it be exciting.” Knights of the Sun runs Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays starting tonight through Aug.
28, excluding the weekends of July 8 and Aug. 12 and 19, when the resort holds its summer concert series. On Fridays and Saturdays, the shows run at 6 p.m., while Sundays tournaments begin at 11 a.m. For ticket information, visit sunpeaksresort.com or call Tourism Sun Peaks at 250-578-5542 or 1-800807-3257.

cho Vogt shares words of wisdom. “You have to do what you love,” the Kamloops artist told KTW. It’s not always easy — the 59-year-old works at a department store by day to pay the bills — but calligraphy has been her passion for 40 years. She has lettered paper, concrete, driftwood and even antlers, which she attributes to growing up as a “country girl” in Canim Lake, near 100 Mile House. “All the arts are related, to me, that’s what I think anyway,” Vogt said. Lettering is an art to Echo, something that can’t be replicated or made obsolete with a few clicks on a computer. “In some of the classes I took, some of those well-known calligraphers, they have designed some of the typefaces on the computer,” she said. She hasn’t considered designing her own font but has contemplated the long-term impacts of technology on calligraphy. She can look to her own artwork for encouragement and the words she writes vary as much as the mediums in which she letters them on. “We live in a world where there are lots of inspirational quotes floating about and you make up your own

as you go on,” Echo said. Some samples from her work: “You are the universe, expressing itself as a human for a little while,” by Echart Tolle. “If you can’t do anything about it then let it go. Don’t be a prisoner to things you can’t change,” by Tony Gaskins. “I love you because the entire universe conspired to help me find you,” by The Alchemist. Echo will showcase her works on Canada
Day during Art in the Park in Riverside Park. She is one of many artists to show, sell and talk about their work during the annual festivities. Echo hasn’t had a booth at Art in the Park in years and was encouraged by her daughter Tiger, who creates jewelry and clothing. “My daughter and I have booths side by side,” she said. Echo will continue art for the foreseeable future, perhaps find-
ing something new to letter on. She’ll encourage her daughter to keep creating because she knows she loves art, too. “You’ve got to follow that,” Echo said. “You have to do that to make yourself feel whole.” Check out Echo’s art by searching for her on Facebook. More than 100 artists will take part in Art in the Park. KTW will be featuring other artists before they set up in the park on July 1.
Sneak peek of Art in the Park For those who can’t wait for Canada Day, get a sneak peek at some of the Art in the Park works today or tomorrow. Works by Amanda Eccleston, Bill Fell, Claire McMillan, Clement Yeh, Doug Flach, Donna Vanderlip, Glen Mantie, Jeanette Ardern, Jessica Scott, Keishia Treber and Sheila Munro are on display in the main gallery of the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre, 7 West Seymour St. Heritage House gets involved June 29 to July 1 with the Oh Canada! Art Exhibition, which also features works by local artists including a metal sculpture created by Charlie Smith and signed by hockey broadcaster Don Cherry. Art in the Park takes over Riverside Park on July 1 as part of the city’s Canada Day celebrations. This year, more than 120 booths featuring a variety of creations will be included.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW The Cineplex Odeon movie theatre in Aberdeen was recently renovated to accommodate new technology.
New seats move during movie A new movie experience starts tonight at the Cineplex Odeon theatre in Aberdeen. Those who are planning to hit opening night of Independence Day can reserve a seat that moves in time to the film. D-Box technology is touted as allowing viewers to “feel like you’re part of the action” in a motion seat designed to move with the movie. Up, down and side to side — the technology has been picked up by the movie theatre franchise but is also promoted to gamers, museums and planetariums.
The Aberdeen Cineplex will have one theatre — No. 8, it’s biggest auditorium — equipped with two rows of the seats but it comes with a price. General admission during primetime nearly doubles to $21.99, while kids ages three to 13 and seniors ages 65 and older will pay $18.50 and $18.99 each respectively. Going to the movies has changed in recent years with D-Box technology building on the 3-D revolution. The Aberdeen location has five of such screens. To purchase tickets, go online at cineplex.com.
Memories
The BC SPCA’s summer camps for kids may be in jeopardy in Kamloops unless more camp counsellors can be found. “We run our camps for nearly 1,400 children across the province throughout July and August and the program is going strong again this year in most communities,” said BC SPCA humane-education manager Paula Neuman. “Unfortunately, we are really struggling to hire enough counsellors for our camps in Kamloops.” The week-long camps immerse kids ages seven to 12 in a range of activities that increase their understanding about companion, farm and wild animals. The camps offer a variety of activities, including outdoor and indoor games, guest speakers, hands-on creative projects, making toys and treats for the animals, shelter tours and visits with shelter animals. “We would hate to have to cancel any of the camps, so if anyone is interested in becoming a BC SPCA camp counsellor this summer, we urge them to contact us as soon as possible,” Neuman said. The jobs are funded by Canada Summer Jobs grants, so applicants must be full-time students between the ages of 15 and 30 and intending to return to school in the fall. To apply or for details, email akyllo@spca.bc.ca. For a full list of available summer camp dates and locations and to register online, go online to spca.bc.ca/camp.

ur public footpath to Woodstock includes Stonesfield Steps, a stairway over the nine-mile dry-stone wall surrounding Blenheim Estate. Ambling through shaded woodlands and pastures, we spot silver pheasants strutting under some gnarly oaks. In the distance stands the lofty Column of Victory amid 2,000-plus acres of Blenheim’s parkland. Eventually arriving at the column, we study its lofty statue of John Churchill and read about this first Duke of Marlborough’s military triumphs. Sheep graze on hillsides sloping downward to lakes spanned by a Romanesque bridge. Beyond stretches World Heritage Blenheim Palace and Woodstock. Descending through groves of maples, we come to a large green door opening into this village. Locals prove friendly. One gent tells us about former Woodstock Palace, where Queen Mary imprisoned her sister Elizabeth. Another gushes about Blenheim’s many events, “Tonight, I’ll leave my window open to hear Van Morrison!” At a pub, we enjoy cold brews and steak-and-ale pies. We soon discover our B&B is an 18th century townhouse off market square. Leading us up a steep stairway to our room, the chatty host presents palace

highlights and touts a fishand-chip shop. Its haddock proves delicious. The next morning, we pass through Blenheim’s eastern gate toward Lord Marborough’s English baroque palace. Square castle-like towers border the immense, honey-stone structure. Entering the west wing, we pass through Kitchen Courtyard into the Grand Courtyard, still set up from last night’s concert. The palace reflects Britain’s 18th-century power. Six massive pillars support the portico; a statue of Britannia stands atop in front of two chained French captives. Sculpted swords and shields flank the main entrance. Inside the foyer, we ascend a stairway and enter a chamber, where through multi-media a 17th-century maid leads us into palace history. She first recounts John Churchill’s early escapades, military successes and marriage to Sarah, Queen Anne’s beloved lady-inwaiting. Another room features Lady Sarah pushing for completion of an underfunded palace. Further chambers introduce other noble descendants, including the 4th Duke known for scientific endeavors and 9th Duke, who married Consuelo
Vanderbilt and used her huge dowry to restore the Palace. Dukes and Duchesses are interred in the Palace Chapel. The white marble tomb’s statues of the 1st Duke and Duchess Sarah portrays them as Caesar and Caesarina. Less noble descendants, including Winston Churchill, are buried in St. Martin’s churchyard in nearby Bladon. Joining a group, we tour state apartments filled with exquisite furniture, family portraits and further reminders of the 1st Duke’s triumphs. The Great Hall’s ceiling pictures him in Roman garb showing Britannia his battle plan for Blenheim. “When the last Habsburg King of Spain died, the War of Spanish Succession ensued to prevent a French heir from dominating Europe. England, Austria and Dutch Republic united to fight France and Bavaria,” our guide explains. “Queen Anne’s parliament recognized Churchill’s triumph, bestowing on him the Duke of Marborough title and this 12,500-acre estate, including funds to build a palace. “The Green Writing Room’s tapestry well illustrates the pivotal Bavarian Battle of Blenheim. The dining room table’s silver centerpiece shows him mounted at Blenheim,
Winston Churchill’s birthroom (above) is on the Blenheim Palace’s (left) main floor. The estate in Woodstock, England, is a World Heritage site.

dispatching his famed message to Sarah “…tell the Queen that her army has had a glorious victory!” Three staterooms’ walls display tapestries representing his earlier victories against France. In the second, two illustrate his siege of Bouchain. These flank a portrait of King Louis XIV, recalling Churchill’s service in the French army’s Royal English Regiment, when he valiantly campaigned for King Louis against Holland. Christopher Wren designed the adjacent 155meter long picture gallery. Becoming a library,
many of the 1st Duke’s artifacts, given and taken as spoils of war, are displayed. Portraits of Queen Anne and her husband King William III hang on its east wall. Queen Anne’s largerthan-life statue stands in the centre. On its pedestal, Sarah recounts their special friendship. Among the huge book collection, we see a signed first edition biography of the 1st Duke written by Winston Churchill, esteemed statesman and descendent. We also visit the 1874 furnished room where
Winston was born. Adjoining rooms exhibit items regarding his shy childhood, visits with his cousin the 10th Duke and his work in the Palace’s MI5 wartime offices. Outside, two sphinxes flank the symmetrical Water Terraces. These interestingly sport sculpted heads of the 9th Duke’s second wife Gladys. A pathway takes us past the ‘Temple of Diana’ where Winston proposed in 1908 to his darling Clementine. Stopping at the beautiful lakeside Rose Garden, we consider how today’s Blenheim Palace honours two distinguished Churchills and their beloved wives.

In 2016, we will return to Cypress Hills for the rst time in 20 years; it is a naturalist’s wonder with unique ora and fauna because the area was not glaciated dur-ing the last Ice Age. Other attractions celebrate history such as Frank Slide, Re-mington Carriage Museum, Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, and Brooks Aque-duct. We stay in one of Canada’s less visited national parks, Waterton Lakes, which has rugged mountains rising from a stark prairie, surrounding an idyllic lake. Add to this the Alberta Birds of Prey Centre, Nikka Yuko Japanese Gardens, the ancient carvings at Writing-on-Stone Park, and the emerging autumn col-ours, and you have the perfect fall getaway!
