Kamloops Mounties mourn their Moncton colleagues

By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Canadian flag is at half-mast in front of the Kamloops RCMP detachment on Battle Street following the shooting deaths of three Mounties in Moncton on Wednesday, June 4.

The flag flies above the force’s Wall of Honour, which pays tribute to fallen Mounties.

Dave Eagles/KTW

The shooting deaths of three RCMP officers in Moncton, N.B., this week has had an impact on Mounties across the country — including in Kamloops.

RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller, the Tournament Capital’s top cop, spoke to reporters on Thursday, June 5, about the incident and its repercussions across Canada.

In addition to the three deaths, two other Mounties were shot and injured in Moncton on Wednesday, June 4.

“Last night, on my drive home, hearing about the events unfolding in Moncton — it was a sleepless night for all of us here at the Kamloops RCMP detachment that wear the yellow stripe,” he said.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the members.”

Mueller said it’s always difficult to learn a colleague has been killed on duty — let alone three on the same day.

“You can never really prepare for the loss of a colleague,” he said.

“We are a large organization, but a small family.

We’ll be there for each other as we grieve and begin to put the pieces of this tragic event together.”

There are about 120 RCMP officers in Kamloops.

Mueller said it’s still unclear if any of them have ties to the Moncton detachment.

“There’s been talk about possibly some ties back to some of the members that have been involved, but that’s speculation at this time,” he said.

Kamloops has its own history of multiple Mounties being killed.

On June 18, 1962, three constables — Joe Keck, Donald Weisgerber and Gord Pedersen — were shot dead at the entrance to Peterson Creek Park.

Their killer, George Booth, died during a firefight with police hours later.

“Certainly, we have been faced with some tragedy here,” Mueller said, noting he has told local officers to talk with each other about how they are feeling.

“I made the suggestion, don’t be scared to ask how each one of us is doing in these times.”

Mueller said B.C.’s top Mountie has offered support to the Moncton detachment, but it is unclear what that might look like if it is accepted.

The shootings in Moncton also brought back memories of an RCMP tragedy in Mayerthorpe, Alta., on March 3, 2005, when constables Anthony Fitzgerald Orion Gordon, Lionide (Leo) Nicholas Johnston, Brock Warren Myrol and Peter Christopher Schiemann were shot and killed.

Reports out of Moncton yesterday (June 5) indicated police were closing in on the arrest of the suspect in the shootings, 24-year-old Justin Bourque, who was believed to be in or near a wooded area in the northwest section of Moncton.

Moncton RCMP Supt. Marlene Snowman said Bourque was carrying high-powered firearms and is not known to police, noting investigators were trying to piece together his background.

Daniel St. Louis, a commercial photographer in Moncton, was among the first on the scene Wednesday at about 8:30 p.m. when he came across two police vehicles on different streets with blood visible inside.

He said no one was around, except for a few curious neighbours peeking through their front doors.

One of the vehicles, a marked police cruiser, was surrounded by shattered glass.

The other, an unmarked SUV with its lights still on and the driver’s side door left open, had several bullet holes through its front windshield.

St. Louis, 51, said he saw something shortly after that will always haunt him.

RCMP SUPT. “I walked over and I BRAD MUELLER: saw two feet, facing the street, toes up,’’ he said.

“I realized, ‘Oh my God. There’s somebody down.’

As I got close, I realized it was an officer and this is not a good situation.’’

St. Louis said he doesn’t know what to make of the tragedy.

“Our quiet little city, what is going on here?’’ he said. “How is this happening to us? It always happens to somebody else.’’

Prime Minister Stephen Harper offered his condolences to the families, colleagues and friends of those affected by the shootings.

“This should obviously remind us that our men and women in law enforcement put their lives on the line every day to serve and protect us as Canadians,’’ Harper said while in Brussels.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those killed and also the others wounded in this terrible incident.’’

Out on a limb in Riverdale

By Andrea Klassen

Join us Sunday, July 20th at 5pm

Riverdale Trailer Court resident Ernie Budd said the government is refusing to remove a 40-foot piece of tree threatening to come down on his property.

Andrea Klassen/KTW

STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Ernie Budd doesn’t know when it will happen but, sooner or later, he’s sure the tree is going to come down.

Not the whole tree — just the top 40 feet or so, which snapped off in a windstorm last month and remains precariously balanced in the canopy on the edge of the Riverdale Trailer Court on Mars Drive in North Kamloops.

Budd moved his car out of the path of the pending damage, but worries the deadwood could still come down on top of his bedroom or living room — both of which face the riverbank where the tree grows — or on him.

“Every time I come out here, I shiver,” he said.

It’s not the first time the tree, one of many growing along the banks of the Thompson just beyond Riverdale’s fence line, have caused problems for Budd.

In 2011, a smaller tree blew over in the wind and landed on his shed. Other neighbours also complained of falling branches, calling them a risk to public safety.

However, because the trees grow on Crown land, getting them removed has become a complicated — and potentially expensive — endeavour for Budd and his neighbours.

Shawn Cook, the City of Kamloops’ parks-operations supervisor, said if the tree was on city land and posed a threat, it would be taken down.

In this scenario, it’s up to the province to do the work.

Cook said the city is aware of the trees.

“What the mobile park crew is saying, and what I think we’ve also said is, ‘Yeah, those trees are at risk of falling onto their private property,’” Cook said.

“So, in that scenario, the province should take action.”

Budd said his attempts to appeal to the

` Annual General Meeting _

450 Greenstone Dr Kamloops

TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF?

province for help have been unsuccessful.

“The Crown says there’s no money in the budget to cut down any trees,” he said.

A spokesman with the Ministry of Forest, Lands and Natural Resources confirmed as much to KTW. “A tree like this requires the ability of an arborist to climb and dismantle. It can’t be safely done by a faller and the forest district does not have the expertise or financial resources to remove this tree,” the spokesman

said via email.

If Riverdale residents want the tree down, the province is leaving it up to them to find the money.

Budd doesn’t think that’s a fair request when he’s had no control over the trees.

“I can’t afford to get a guy in to cut the tree down,” he said, arguing the province should take responsibility. “Why should I cut it?”

Because of the tree’s proximity to the riverbank, the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) also

There has been a spotlight recently on the phenomenon of elder abuse where people take advantage of the elderly, often for financial gain. This includes some transactions where the elder gives a valuable asset, yet receives nothing in exchange.

has to sign off on the matter, as it does when the city needs to take down dead trees on its land along the Rivers Trail.

A spokesman from the DFO said his department isn’t opposed to the tree coming down, but has no mandate or funding to do the work.

Jim Wilkes of Top Notch Tree Service said based on a description of the work required and the location of the tree, it would cost between $1,200 and $2,000 to safely dismantle the tree.

HAVE YOU, OR SOMEONE YOU LOVE, BEEN THE VICTIM OF THIS KIND OF ABUSE? Fortunately, the law provides several options for elders and their loved ones to remedy wrongful or abusive financial transactions. Even if the transaction is not discovered until after death, the estate or the beneficiaries may be able to undo the abusive dealings.

Speaking with a lawyer from our Wills and Estates Law team will clarify your options and ensure your elderly loved one is properly assisted.

S ‘canada was our country --and nobody was going to take IT’

Blais and his regiment training in Calgary prior to deployment to Europe during the Second World War.

EVENTY YEARS LATER, JOSEPH BLAIS CAN still smell the burning flesh.

A veteran of the Second World War, Blais landed on the beaches of Normandy, France, on June 10, 1944 — a date known as D+4, four days after D-Day. Blais was a green private seeing his first action of the war that day. The weather was good, the seas were rough and, when he stepped off his landing craft and on to the sandy French beach, he was illequipped for what he saw.

“Burning tanks, burning trucks, everything else, people screaming, the smell of burning flesh — it wasn’t too easy to take at 19 years old,” Blais says, tears welling in his eyes.

Despite having begun four days earlier — June 6, 1944 — the invasion of Normandy was still raging when Blais arri arrived.

Injured sol soldiers scr screamed, dea dead bodies were stre strewn acr across the san sand and wa water, bullet flew. lets And am the amid ch chaos was Bla a Blais,

farmer a long way from his home in Cowley, Alta.

Today — June 6, 2014 — is the 70th anniversary of the Allied assault on France. The Kamloops veteran was one of more than 325,000 Allied soldiers that landed on the beaches in those first few days of the invasion of Europe.

When his landing craft came ashore on June 10, Blais knew relatively little about the battle that was taking place on the northwestern shores of France.

He and his fellow soldiers had heard reports on the news, but knew little else.

The reports couldn’t have prepared the soldier for his first steps into the country — the blood, the screams, the fire and chaos.

It was the dead bodies scattered across the shore, the smell of burning flesh, which Blais still can’t shake.

And the fear. There was no shortage of fear.

“You didn’t know where they’d be — underground or in the trees, and there was trees on the side I was on, I was on the left flank,” he says of the Germans.

Much of the action Blais saw in the war, in the area of the city of Caen, came against the Hitler Youth, who Germany thought were the best troops in the world.

“The Hitler Youth thought they were the only ones in the world,” Blais says. “They were just teenagers.”

Now 89, the Kamloops vet doesn’t talk about the war much.

He says there’s no use.

He struggles to hold back emotion, though, when he does recall his time as a soldier. Despite having landed on the beach 70 years ago, the wounds still seem fresh.

He survived the invasion of Normandy that day, but what he saw changed him forever.

‘OUR COUNTRY’ Blais had arrived in Europe months earlier, sailing over on the SS Île de France with his fellow Canadians in the third division of the Canadian Scottish regiment.

Crossing the Atlantic Ocean to take on the Germans came with its own harrowing moments.

It was a long, rough ride, with Blais among the many battling bouts of seasickness.

But, the seasickness was the least of their problems, or so he would find out after.

“We were going over there one night and everything was as quiet as can be, as quiet as in here,” he says. “You couldn’t hear the engines or a damn thing.

FRIDAY, June 6, 2014 ❖ A7

‘we took them prisonerS and just carried on’ “We were told after there was German submarines in the area and I can’t swim. I don’t know what the hell I would have done if they got the ship.”

The private made it to England, though, where he spent months doing route marches and training exercises with the third division, at one point hiking through the Sherwood Forest of Robin Hood lore.

The trip to England came following his infantry training in Canada — basic training in Calgary and advanced training in Ontario.

Blais had enlisted in the military voluntarily — he said he knew he would be conscripted regardless, but wanted to be a part of the war on his own terms.

He and his father would both travel to Europe for the war, the old man a veteran of the First World War, who again answered his country’s call, this time against Hitler. Blais had two brothers and two sisters, all of whom remained in Canada.

Despite the carnage he witnessed, the scenes and smells he can’t forget, the small-town farmer is still glad he enlisted all those years ago.

“We were taught that Canada was our country — and nobody else was going to take it,” Blais says.

‘HELL OF A KICK’ After storming the beaches, Blais and his division continued on in their invasion of France, closing in on the city of Caen, about 400 kilometres to the northwest of Paris.

Caen was a major strategic location in France for the Allies and it had been the goal of the Canadian and British soldiers to capture it on D-Day. The city was not captured until July, however.

It was there, as he and his comrades marched to liberate the French municipality that Blais came face to face with a German tank.

The Germans had constructed a system of trenches in the region, some underground, Blais says, and in one of those trenches the tank had lost a track and been immobilized.

Unable to move, but still operational, the tank began to turn its turret towards Blais, training its machine gun on the group of Canadian soldiers. Blais’ commanding officer, a corporal, asked if anyone was trained to use the anti-tank gun.

Blais was.

“I told my buddy, I says, ‘You lay on the ground behind me’ and I says, ‘Grab my ankles and don’t let me move,’ because that thing had a kick like 10 mules,” he recalls.

“So, when they started turning the tank around, I waited until I could see the engine compartment because once the engine was gone, nothing was going.

“It just blew the Blais (right) at a hospital in England shortly engine all to hell,” he after suffering an injury during the says. “The Germans invasion of Normandy. inside, they come out of that tank, they were “I landed on the ground and bleeding all over the place — the couldn’t feel anything from the steel, metal, when that thing blew. waist down,” he says, staring off So, we took them prisoners and into the distance as he speaks. just carried on.

“So, I told my buddy that came “My shoulder still hurts from over, I says, ‘You might as well take that, hell of a kick to it. It moved that rifle and put a shot between the two of us about a foot.” the ears.’”

It was there, near the Rhône, “He started to laugh and then that Blais’ war came to an end. he picked up my feet and he says “I guess one bomb got a little ‘Are these toothpicks?’” too close to me. I went sky-high,” he says. “I got shrapnel in my lower ‘A LOT OF IT WAS BAD’ back and left hip.”

Following the A few pieces of shrapnel remain war, in his body to this day, too close to a nerve for doctors to have risked removing it.

Blais returned to Calgary, where his mother was living. It was there he met his wife, Evelyn, in 1945.

They would be married three years later.

The couple celebrated their 66th anniversary this year. They have eight children — two living in Kamloops, with three more in Ontario and three in Alberta.

The couple moved to B.C. in 1978, shortly after Blais suffered a stroke and decided he could no longer handle Alberta’s long winters.

They did stints in Kelowna, Winfield and Canoe before settling in the River City in 1993.

But, before Evelyn came into his life, like many other soldiers, Joe had a girlfriend overseas. He says she had wanted to be his “war bride,” but had no interest in moving back to Canada with him.

She, too, dreaded the Canadian winters.

Those were some of the better times of the war for Blais. He still recalls meeting up with her and a few friends, shortly before boarding the SS Lady Nelson to return to Canada.

He and a fellow soldier had travelled to say goodbye to their ladies while on leave. When they arrived in town it was “raining to beat hell,” Blais remembers.

Unable to find a hotel, the pair arranged a deal with the jailer and spent a night in a cell.

They would meet up with their friends

in the morning, before shipping out for home.

Those are some of his few good memories of the Second World War. “There was good times, there was bad,” he says, before again growing quiet.

“A lot of it was bad.”

‘WHO YOU LOOKING FOR?’ By the time Blais landed in Calgary, he was again walking with his own two feet — his left hip and lower back healed.

He told his family of his injuries during their last correspondence, describing himself a “stretcher case.”

It was that classification that saved him from returning to the war.

He was originally slated to be a part of the occupation of Germany, but he had no desire to return and, in the end, didn’t have to.

There, back on the ground in Alberta, the war ended for Joe much as it began. Shortly before he shipped out for Europe in 1943, he had made a surprise visit to the family farm at Christmas, bounding in the door as his mother was saying grace, wishing Blais was home for the holidays.

“I got to Calgary and on the ramp, I seen this woman, little short woman, looking at all the stretchers — it was my mother,” Blais says, again fighting back tears.

“So, I walked up behind her and put my arms around her shoulders and said, ‘Who you looking for?’

“And lived happily ever after, I guess.”

But, bathing-suit complexes aside, one thing I always look forward to during a summer in Kamloops is floating down the South Thompson River.

The tradition has been carried out by many a Kamloopsian but, for newbies, it goes a little something like this.

Step one: Purchase a brightlycoloured $12 floatee.

Step two: Arrange two vehicles to meet at Pioneer Park. Leave one behind and catch a ride in the other to the Valleyview boat launch.

Step three: Inflate and float.

It’s pretty simple, but floaters have been known to also include waterproofed baggies, snacks and/or some sort of cool and delicious beverage, possibly of the six-pack variety.

As I reminisce over the process — the feeling of pushing away from the shore with my flip-flop paddles and soaking my tush in the cool river water — I can almost feel the sun on my face and I can hardly wait for the first float of the year.

But, despite the heat, you won’t see me out on the river this weekend, or even next — it’s too early.

Years ago, I learned the hard way when I went floating in May. I was warned not to go, but I was determined. After all, I had gone a handful of times before and I was practically a pro.

JESSICA WALLACE Generation

GAP Two friends and I accomplished the aforementioned floating steps one through three and we were off.

Brrr — the water was much chillier than I remembered from times before and, come to think of it, we were cruising much faster than usual.

Regardless, we made our way down the South Thompson, bevys in hand.

We continued until the drinks kicked in and nature called.

Being the courteous and classy river-peer that I am, I jumped into the water and swam away from my friends — and floatee — so as to not No. 1 directly on or around anyone.

Ew. I gasped and laughed at how cold the water was as I went about my business.

My friends laughed as they floated on — and away.

It was time to catch up with them, but the water had plummeted my body temperature from cold to numb and the current left me in a precarious position — far from both my friends and the shore.

It wasn’t funny any more, and

laughter turned full-on swim turned panic-mode fast because I was barely moving.

I was getting tired and, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t reach them.

Call it fate, luck or irony, but a cheap floating cooler I had purchased earlier that day disconnected from our floatee barge in my moment of panic and floated close enough to me that I could grab hold of it and kick my way back to shore.

I was thankful for the impulse purchase as I caught my breath on dry land.

It was the first time I’d ever felt the fear of drowning.

I grew up around the water and consider myself a strong swimmer, but my swimming skills weren’t the issue at the time. It was the cold, the current and — regrettably — impaired judgment.

It could have ended badly.

I look back on it all and see how stupid it was, but I hope to inform others.

I should have made some better choices, but I wonder whether I would have chose differently had I heard a story to really scare the crap out of me.

If someone blatantly said to me, “I know someone who almost drowned doing exactly what you’re about to do,” would I have done something different?

Maybe not, but now you can. jessica @kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @KTWjess

So, now the school labour dispute has reached the students.

Of course, they were affected before, but now a portion of them are seeing fit to become actively involved in the issue by staging a walkout of their own.

While we applaud young people taking an interest in the world, it’s hard to judge what impact this will have on the dispute.

Actually, it will have no impact on the dispute, the effect will be on the students who will be forced to take a stand on an issue in which they are the innocent third party.

The dispute has been likened to a family going through a divorce.

The parents in this case have been feuding for years.

In fact, have they ever gotten along? This couple has been through mediation numerous times and still they end up throwing dishes at each other.

Students were conflicted about whether they should participate in the protest. Opinions ran the whole gamut from “waste of time” to “take a stand.”

Teachers might be wishing they could be treated like any other unionized worker in conflict with their employer but, unfortunately, they can’t. The government, meanwhile, wants the teachers and the public to roll over to their own — usually politicized — priorities when it comes to managing education.

The students truly are caught in the middle and now some of them are trying to exert some pressure of their own in order to expedite a settlement.

It’s the graduating students who have the most to lose here.

Actions at this time of the school year have a dramatic impact on students’ futures.

That they are angry at being shoved aside is justified.

So, they take up picket signs and stage walkouts.

It will not lead to a settlement, but it is certainly worthwhile reminding both sides of the dispute who has the most to lose.

Re: Letter: Where are the answers from our Kamloops MLAs?: “The mining companies are the largest contributors to the B.C. Liberal Party and the party bends over backwards to repay those large political contributions. “For example, the owner of the proposed Prosperity Mine, Taseko Mines, contributed $100,000 to the Liberals and specifically $5,000 for the current Minister of Mines Bill Bennett’s 2013 election campaign. “Bennett in response to the recommendations of the environmental assessment to decline the project, used taxpayers money to fly to Ottawa and convince the decision makers there to ignore those findings. — posted by NelsonX

One student’s take on the ‘walkout’ of June 4 Editor: Many people are aware of the student walkout that took place on Wednesday, June 4.

Started by two Vancouver teens, it was an attempt to protest the fact that, as the Vancouver organizers stated, “students have been in the middle of the labour dispute between the BCTF and the provincial government.�

I was disappointed, but not surprised, to learn this idea spread to other areas, including Kamloops.

This walkout was an awful idea.

The reason for skipping school was (according to the organizers) to protest how

students had to miss out on school and assistance due to job action and the consequential rotating strike days.

Missing school so you don’t have to miss school?

That’s silly no matter how you spin it.

Not to mention the fact the majority of people who joined the walkout used it as an excuse to cut class.

The most crowded area during the walkout at my school? The smoke pit.

This is counterproductive.

The walkout hasn’t changed anything, let alone resulted in progress.

That being said, some students like myself are

actually concerned about the situation.

We want it resolved quickly and fairly, while allowing students to get the teacher assistance they need during the last few weeks of school.

It would be ideal if there was a practical, effective action informed students could pursue.

Then again, perhaps genuinely concerned students truly have no voice in the issue.

Regardless, better opportunities for students to express displeasure exist.

The best one might simply be to become informed, show support for the side with which

you agree and make the best of the situation.

I hope we are wiser after this lesson in futility.

The driving force behind this effort was misguided students, unaware or uncaring of the negative effects of their actions.

Take the strike days to catch up on work or sleep in and be thankful.

Some kids our age aren’t lucky enough to be able to attend school at all.

Just don’t worsen the situation by sacrificing the thing for which you are fighting.

Nothing ‘rational’ about embracing modiďŹ ed Arctic apple Editor: Is there anything “rationalâ€? about Bill Ligertwood’s Rational Thoughts column of May 29 (‘Amped up about the Arctic Apple’)?

I always thought “rational� meant one would consider the rationale of those opposed before coming to a conclusion such as, “Don’t let hysteria get in the way of a truly cool advance in the field of genetics.�

The consensus of a corporate-sponsored community of scientists is clear.

With a common interest in growing the biotechnology industry, they are quite eager to ram new technological innovations like the “non-browning apple� through our regulatory agencies as fast as they can.

But, why are they unwilling to listen to the opposition?

Don’t they care what the majority of Canadians and growers actually want?

Is this really beneficial if most people don’t actually want it?

I’m certain Ligertwood is referring to GE Free Kamloops and its supporters as some of the folks who are “up in arms over this issue.� “Why are people getting emotional over the issue?� he asks.

Perhaps what we should really be wondering is why people are not getting emotional about what is being done to their food.

Should we no longer question the moral implications of going-boldly-where-noone-has-gone-before, before going there?

Science without ethics, many would argue, is not good science. It’s not a complete equation.

After all, is not the point of scientific innovation to improve quality of life for humanity?

It certainly looks like genetically modified organisms (GMO) over the last 20

years have done way more harm than good — and there’s plenty of independent research out there to prove it.

It seems in this day and age genetic engineering asks the question, “How can we . . .�, but rarely asks the question, “Should we . . .?�

Yes, we can now turn on and off genes in fruits and vegetables and we can now douse crops in harmful pesticides and kill everything but the crop.

We can even prompt the crop to make its own pesticide and pay an agency to say it is fit for human consumption.

But, thousands of years of organicfarming technologies that did not rely on toxic chemicals and have been tried, tested and proven safe and truly sustainable have gotten us this far.

Is it not logical to conclude we can certainly go the distance without GMO? Steven Hurst Kamloops

The good and bad in prostitution bill

By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Bob Hughes sees good and bad in the new federal prostitution legislation introduced in the House of Commons this week.

The executive director of ASK Wellness — which operates programming for sex-trade workers — said having $20 million available for programs that help people leave the business is “chump change but a stab in the right direction. . . . It will make a difference.”

The Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act was introduced faster than Hughes had expected.

Last December, the Supreme Court of Canada struck down the existing anti-prostitution laws and gave the government one year to come up with new legislation.

In the unanimous decision, Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin wrote “it is not a crime in Canada to sell sex for money.”

Hughes said it is good the new legislation targets johns, but also acknowledged “the reality of the Charter [of Rights and Freedoms] that we can do what we want in our own homes.”

However, he questioned the provision that makes it a crime for sex to be sold in public spaces where minors could be present, saying “that’s anywhere in Canada.”

Hughes said the problem with the legislation is it targets “the most desperate human beings out there, the most street-involved with additions and mental-health issues.”

Julie Grant, a Toronto-based sex-trade worker and outspoken critic of the federal government, said the legislation doesn’t recognize many in the business are there by choice and the legislation is “harming us again.”

She said the law, which she called bad Canadian legislation, “simply revictimizes sex workers.”

Hughes said the programming his agency provides has been successful, helping about 25 per cent of the city’s sex-trade workers exit the business.

“That doesn’t sound like great success but that’s one in four women and, based on the complex challenges they face, it’s a pretty good rate of success.”

“We will criminalize those who are fueling and perpetrating the demand for this dangerous activity,” Justice Minister Peter MacKay said.

Those to be targeted by police under the new law include pimps and others who exploit sex workers, including those who advertise the sale of sex in print or online.

MacKay said legitimate, nonexploitive service providers — such as doctors, pharmacists and taxi drivers — won’t be targeted, nor would spouses or family members of sex trade workers.

It’s not yet clear if that leniency will extend to bodyguards hired by sex workers for security.

A federal survey of Canadians released June 1 following government-led consultations found 56 per cent of respondents think it should be a crime to buy sexual services, but 66 per cent said it shouldn’t be illegal for sex workers to sell their services.

A study by UBC researchers released earlier in the week argued a Canadian move to the Nordic Model would force prostitutes to work in riskier conditions where they have less control over their health and safety.

Where clients continue to be targets of police, sex workers’ ability to protect themselves from violence and abuse or access police protections is severely limited,” said report author Dr. Kate Shannon.

Two more years for manslaughter

By Cam Fortems

Superstore

910 Columbia Street West, Kamloops

Deborah Joseph (inset) was killed by boyfriend Gerald Peters in his East Shuswap Road trailer in October 2012.

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A man who killed his wife in a drunken stupor — a crime he says he cannot remember — has been sentenced to two more years in jail by a B.C. Supreme Court justice.

Gerald Peters admitted to stabbing to death his spouse, Deborah Joseph, on Oct. 20, 2012, after they spent the night drinking Listerine mouthwash.

“This is indeed a very sad and tragic case,” Justice Selwyn Romilly told a courtroom gallery on Thursday, June 5, filled with members of Peters’ family and reporters.

“The accused in this case has already taken concrete steps to deal with his alcoholism. He has taken full responsibility of his crime by pleading guilty to this offence and he has shown genuine remorse for his crime.”

Romilly sided with the defence, which had asked for a sentence of four to six years, with credit for time already served. The Crown argued for a six-year sentence.

Peters will serve two more years, in a federal penitentiary. He was credited with timeand-a-half for jail time he has served since being arrested 19 months ago.

His stated sentence is four-and-a-half years.

“To me, it was fair,”

RCMP’s Battle Street detachment, Peters sat in a holding cell, dozing off while waiting to be interviewed by investigators.

Once he sobered up, he took responsibility for Joseph’s death — despite the fact he couldn’t remember it.

said Peters’ brother, Russell Casimir. “My brother didn’t deny it.

He owned it. The family stood behind his call.”

Under provisions of federal parole, Peters could be released from prison in about seven months, through onethird of his sentence.

Casimir said he hopes his brother receives treatment in jail and that resources are available on the outside.

Casimir — who sits in Kamloops First Nations Court as an elder and guide — said he has seen treatment centres close recently.

He believes money is being reduced by governments.

Peters has been to treatment “many times,” Casimir said.

“We all tried, but treatment and programs are not available as they used to be.”

Peters’ parents attended residential school.

They died of poisoning after drinking paint thinner.

“The accused was one of 10 siblings,” Romilly wrote in his decision.

“Most of his siblings are either alcoholics or exalcoholics.”

Casimir said the family will be there for Peters when he is released from jail.

He also expressed sorrow for the death of Joseph. Her family members were not apparent in the courtroom gallery this week.

“She was a good woman as far as I was concerned,” Casimir said.

“They had a dream.”

Joseph had a daughter and a sister who were also killed by their spouses.

Peters’ lawyer and the Crown entered an agreed statement of facts from the night of the killing.

Late in 2011, Peters was arrested following an alleged violent domestic assault in which Joseph was stabbed. No charges were laid.

A few months later, in February 2012, police were called to the trailer

Peters shared with Joseph to investigate another violent assault. Joseph had stabbed Peters, causing minor injuries to the lower left side of his back.

But, when Mounties arrived, Peters told them he had sat on a knife by accident.

No charges were laid.

In the early evening of Oct. 20, 2012, Peters’ sister-in-law walked in their home on the Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve and saw him, drunk and dazed on the floor.

Joseph — wearing only a towel and lying on a mattress on the floor in the trailer’s living room, her left arm covered in blood — was dead, having been stabbed once in the heart.

Beside the couch, RCMP found three onelitre Listerine bottles — two empty and one full.

On a small end table sat a black-handled kitchen knife covered in Joseph’s blood.

Teachers to vote on launching full strike

By Dale Bass

Students at Dufferin elementary stepped outside of classrooms on Wednesday, June 4, to show how they feel about the labour dispute between the teachers’ union and the provincial government. Dave Eagles/KTW

STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops teachers could be on a fullscale strike as early as Monday, June 16.

The B.C. Teachers’ Federation has announced teachers provincewide will vote on Monday, June 9, and Tuesday, June 10, on whether to authorize their union, the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) to move to a full strike.

Jason Karpuk, president of the KamloopsThompson Teachers’ Association (KTTA), said local teachers will vote today (June 6) and Monday, June 9.

If teachers vote in favour of escalating job action to a full strike, Monday, June 16, would likely be the first eligible school day it could begin after the union serves the required 72-hours’ strike notice.

Teachers are now in the second week of rotating strikes, with Kamloops walking the picket lines yesterday.

At a KTTA meeting on Wednesday, June 4, to update members, about 400 teachers learned the BCTF had lost its bid to have a wage reduction imposed by the province ruled illegal.

The government, through its bargaining

agent, the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA), has implemented a phased lockout that requires teachers to do no work during breaks or lunch and not be in schools more than 45 minutes before and after the instructional day.

It is also clawing back 10 per cent of teachers’ wages as long as the BCTF rotating

strikes, which began last week, continue.

The teachers also learned their union will not be able to provide the $50 a day strike pay after this week.

Karpuk said he was disappointed in the Labour Relations Board (LRB) ruling and surprised by it because, with a phased lockout, he said, teachers are in uncharted territory.

“And teachers are still having to do all their work in a shorter day.

“The contract includes a duty-free lunch, so you tell me where the 10 per cent is coming from,” Karpuk said.

The BCTF had complained to the LRB the wage clawback was illegal but, in a ruling issued on Wednesday, June 4, the board disagreed.

The BCPSEA argued at the board hearing last week the BCTF should not have any say on the wage cuts.

Prior to the LRB decision, the BCTF brought forward new wage requests, asking for a 9.75 salary increase over four years, which is a reduction from the 10.75 per cent hike over four years it had been seeking.

The BCPSEA has offered 7.25 per cent over six years, with a $1,200 per teacher signing bonus.

Peter Cameron, the chief BCPSEA negotiator, said the BCTF’s new wage request was disappointing.

He said he is not optimistic a deal will be made before the end of the school year, when a full lockout is planned by the government.

BCTF president Jim Iker said teachers do not take job action lightly.

“This is never an easy decision because every single one of us wants the best for our students, but we believe that parents understand what we’re fighting for,” Iker said.

“We hope that the vote in itself will apply pressure to both sides and, hopefully, spur the movement needed from the employer that will help us reach a deal.”

Iker said there is still time to avert a full-scale strike “If Premier Christy Clark is sincere about labour peace and putting families first, she can give BCPSEA the funding to bring us closer together to enable a deal,” Iker said.

“But, she must act soon.”

CUPE begins the bargaining process trades and maintenance workers and bus drivers.

Their contract expires at the end of this month.

The union’s bargaining committee has been meeting with the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA) — the provincial government’s bargainers — to reach agreement on how it will proceed with bargaining.

On its website, CUPE’s bargaining committee explained the bargaining language “provides significant assurance that the province will be funding the new provincial framework agreement” that will come from the negotiations.

The contract talks began during the second week of rotating strikes by the B.C. Teachers’ Federation.

Kamloops teachers walked picket lines yesterday (June 5).

The Ministry of Education has said each strike day is saving the province about $12 million, not including the $1.2 million per day the BCPSEA’s 10 per net salary clawback generates.

CUPE workers are not crossing the picket lines, saving the government an additional $4.5 million per week.

$875,000 animal-health centre opens doors Donors Ron and Rae Fawcett speak during the official opening of the Fawcett Family Wildlife Health Centre on Thursday, June 5, at the B.C. Wildlife Park. Dave Eagles/KTW

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

If a bird of prey is hit by a car or a beaver mistakenly ends up in a diesel pond anywhere between Prince George and the U.S. border, it often ends up at the B.C. Wildlife Park.

But, these days, the 300 to 400 wild animals the Kamloops zoo rehabilitates for re-release every year have some nicer digs for their stay.

On June 5, the park celebrated the opening of the Fawcett Family Wildlife Health Centre, a new $875,000 space for animal medicine and research at the park.

The new building includes operating rooms, isolation and decontamination areas, and will eventually feature pens that allow some of its furred and feathered guests to roam outside, where visitors to the park can see them.

It’s a big step up from the park’s previous setup, said veterinarian David Sedgman.

“It was third-world.

It was a little hut down by the creek, and that little hut had been our discovery centre, our education building, but there was 200 square feet,” he said.

“It was pretty bad.”

General manager Glenn Grant said the new facility will allow staff to keep rehab animals and those that live

at the park permanently completely separated, which will improve care.

“We always say we need better health care, we need better facilities at Royal Inland Hospital or elsewhere and our animals deserve the same thing and we need to be able to supply that,” he said.

Sedgman said the new facility allows the park’s veterinary staff to embark on more projects, in addition to providing better care to the animals.

The park is in the midst of a study of the eyes of birds of prey, which he hopes will

make it easier to assess whether a bird is likely to recover after being hit by a car — the most common reason birds arrive at the centre.

Also in the works is a study aimed at preventing grey squirrels from spreading to the Kamloops region.

While having regular tours through the centre would scare the animals under treatment, Sedgman said he hopes the park can set up cameras to allow the public to see what goes on inside the building.

“This centre’s going to allow us to step up our game and do a real service to the wildlife

community and the animals themselves,” he said.

Money for the centre came in part from the city of Kamloops, which had $363,000 in a reserve for the project, part of a $3-million funding commitment it made to the park for improvements in 2003.

Much of the remaining funding came from philanthropists Ron and Rae Fawcett, who have also donated money to the park to build a habitat for its Kermode bear, Clover.

That project is due for completion this summer.

LEOS’ FANFEST AT HILLSIDE

Chasing the Calder

By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

HE BATTLE of the Blazers in the Calder Cup final was not to be.

Forwards Brendan Ranford and JC Lipon, both members of the 2012-2013 Kamloops Blazers, were set to square off in the American Hockey League final, which will feature Ranford’s Texas Stars and Lipon’s St. John’s IceCaps.

News broke on Wednesday, June 4, that Lipon is done for the season with a lowerbody injury.

“It sucks now that we’ve come this far and I can’t be in the final series, but I’m only 20

so, hopefully, I’ll get another chance,” said Lipon, a Regina product who excelled playing on a line in Kamloops with Colin Smith and Tim Bozon.

“The injury has been lingering for two weeks and I had an MRI and it’s worse than we thought,” he said.

Texas is hosting Game 1 of the championship series on Sunday, June 8.

KTW caught up with Ranford before he found out about Lipon’s injury.

“It’s pretty funny because I was really close with him in Kamloops and we were roommates when he was 16 and I was 17,” said Ranford, who amassed 357 points, 137 of them goals, in 348 games

with the Blazers, good enough for sixth all-time in team scoring.

“Our parents are really close. It’ll be a fun series. One of us is going to win the Calder Cup.” Ranford, 22, is producing in the playoffs, with 10 points and seven goals in 16 games.

Lipon, who was playing in a third-line grinder’s role before the injury, has one assist in 14 playoff games.

An Edmonton product, Ranford was drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers in 2010, but never signed.

He inked a tryout contract with the Stars in May of 2013 and caught on with club.

The highly skilled winger began to find his groove in the Lone Star

State earlier this year.

“In February, when I started to string games together getting points and playing on the top three lines, that’s when things started to get good,” said Ranford, who was golfing with teammates when KTW caught up with him.

“I had been in and out of the lineup. It was tough because that was the first time in my career that ever happened to me.

“You have your ups and downs and you have your slumps. I’ve had a good first year of pro and I’m excited about the opportunity that I’ve had in the playoffs.”

He finished the regular season eighth in team scoring with 33 points, 12 of them goals,

B.C. Lions’ FanFest takes over Hillside Stadium on Sunday, June 8.

The event will run from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

FanFest will give Leos faithful — both young and old — the opportunity to meet and interact with their favourites on the B.C. Lions.

FanFest will begin with player introductions, which will kick-off at 1:30 p.m., before the players get on the field for a practice and scrimmage at 1:40 p.m.

Photos and autographs will be available following the scrimmage, at about 3:15 p.m.

To cap off FanFest 2014, kids will be able to walk onto the turf at Hillside and learn from the pros as the Lions host a football clinic at 4 p.m.

The Felions will also be in attendance.

in 65 games.

Lipon was eligible to play his 20-year-old campaign with the Blue and Orange when he signed a two-way deal with the Winnipeg Jets in August of 2013.

He never played another game in Kamloops, racking up nine goals and 41 points in 72 games last season with St. John’s, the Jets’ AHL affiliate.

“I feel like I exceeded my expectations and to be in the final is pretty crazy,” Lipon said.

There is another Kamloops connection to the Calder Cup final.

Let’s play ball: KIBT is on

By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops International Baseball Tournament (KIBT) is a go for 2014, whether it’s with seven teams or eight.

KIBT is scheduled to run from July 10 to July 13 at Norbrock Stadium.

Tournament president Dean Padar said organizers are waiting to hear back from a team in San Diego, the Stars, which might fill the final tournament spot.

If not, the tournament will go ahead with the seven teams already on the docket — the Kamloops Sun Devils,

Red Deer Riggers, Seattle Studs, Thurston County Senators, Nanaimo Coal Miners, Everett Merchants and North West Honkers — in a modified roundrobin tournament.

Padar was in contact with San Diego last week and was told the team would try to finalize a roster over the weekend.

“We’re holding out the last little bit of hope that they still want to

come,” Padar told KTW. “If not, we are going to run with seven teams.”

Padar said organizers hope to release a tournament draw next week so teams can begin preparing. Should they go with seven teams, each team will get four round-robin matchups, with the top four teams advancing to the singleelimination playoffs.

KIBT is making its return after a one-year hiatus. The tournament was cancelled in 2013 after organizers were unable to fill a full slate of teams.

Part of the problem was the entry fee, though Padar said its current amount, $800, is

down from $1,400 a few years ago.

Even still, some teams — Langley this year — declined to attend the tournament because of the fee.

Padar is focusing on the positive — despite what has been an up and down few months in its planning, KIBT will again return to the Tournament Capital in 2014.

“Like I said, either way we’re going to run this year because I think if we don’t run this year, that would pretty much put a bullet in it,” he said.

“We want to see if we can keep this thing going.”

KGTC athletes make sweet music in swan song In the final competition of the season, the Kamloops Gymnastics and Trampoline Club found success at the Ogopogo Invitation in Kelowna.

Drew Kanigan finished first all-around in the provincial level four men’s, taking gold in pommel horse, parallel bars and high bar. He also had a silver on the floor and bronze in rings and vault.

Yoshiki Matthews earned silver in floor and vault and bronze on the pommel, rings and parallel bars in provincial level 3. Riley Mott took gold in rings, bronze on the floor and bronze in

In women’s, Rebecca Wharton earned silver on floor and bronze overall in provincial level 1.

In provincial level 2, Miranda Kozub took bronze all-around.

Vigneault calls out Rangers’ players Fans to leave World Cup with empty wallets CANADIAN PRESS

LOS ANGELES — New York Rangers’ coach Alain Vigneault has challenged all his players to bring their A game when the Stanley Cup final resumes with Game 2 on Saturday, June 7, in Los Angeles.

Vigneault said if they don’t, New York won’t beat a strong Kings team.

The Rangers’ coach said goalie Henrik Lundqvist and “a couple of guys’’ did play their best in Wednesday’s (June 4) 3-2 OT loss.

He did not name names, but said New York’s B game won’t do it.

Mr. Game 7 delivered in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup final.

Justin Williams scored 4:36 into overtime as the Kings rallied to edge the Rangers 3-2 in the opening game of the NHL championship series Wednesday night.

The winning goal came on a cruel bounce, a sudden end to an evening that had started with so much promise for the underdog Rangers.

Dan Girardi fanned on a clearing attempt and the puck ended up at the blue-line with Mike Richards, who found Williams alone in front.

Williams, who is 7-0 on the Game 7 stage with seven goals and 14 points, scored high to the stick side to complete a Kings’ comeback

from 2-0 down.

“I’ve said this many times, Justin is the most underrated player on our team by a mile,’’ said Kings’ defenceman Drew Doughty, who had a rollercoaster night. “He doesn’t get enough credit for what he does.

New York goalie Henrik Lundqvist and the Kings’ Jonathan Quick both lived up to their reputations on the night, with Quick busy early and Lundqvist late in an entertaining endto-end game.

“He was the reason why we went to overtime,’’ Vigneault said of Lundqvist. “I mean, he gave us a chance. When you get to overtime, a lot of times it’s a bounce, it’s a shot.

Tonight they got it.’’

Los Angeles finished 10th overall in the league during the regular season with 100 points, four ahead of No. 12 New York.

BETTY MASUMI INOUYE Betty Masumi Inouye of Kamloops, BC passed away on Tuesday, June 3rd, 2014 at 79 years of age.

Survived by her loving husband Roy, daughters Lori (Bob), Adele (Bill), and Teri (Denis), grandsons Brian and Alex, and brother, Ken. Her uncles, aunts and cousins that live in Washington State and California.

She is predeceased by her parents Dr. Masajiro and Sumiko Miyazaki and her sister Rumi.

Betty was born in Vancouver, February 19, 1935, eldest daughter to Dr. Masajiro and Sumiko Miyazaki. During the evacuation of the Japanese Canadians from the BC Coast, she and her family moved to Bridge River and then to Lillooet where her father became the doctor to the people of Lillooet and all of the surrounding area.

After graduating high school in Lillooet, Betty moved to Vancouver in 1952 to attend U.B.C. where she met Roy Inouye and they married in the summer of 1959. She taught for one year in Kitimat, BC before moving to Kamloops. From 1958 to 1993 she was employed in the Kamloops School District where she taught Business, Japanese Language and was a Girl’s Counsellor. During that period, in 1968 she was appointed to the position of Vice-Principal of NorKam Secondary School. She finished her career in education by going back to teaching Business and Japanese Language. In 1984 she was appointed by the BC Ministry of Education to a Provincial committee that developed the Japanese Language Curriculum now used in BC schools.

Betty was extremely active in numerous community organizations, both as a great support to her husband Roy in all the organizations he was involved in, and in her own role as a volunteer and board member of various organizations and committees. Her interest in serving the community began at U.B.C. where she was active in the Nissei Varsity Club, Phrateres, numerous U.B.C. organizations, and the Vancouver Japanese Canadian Citizen’s Association. After moving to Kamloops she actively participated in, often on the executives and in many of the committees in the Kamloops Japanese Canadian Assoc., Kamloops Lady Lions Club, BC and Kamloops Folkfest Societies, Kamloops Heritage Language School, Japanese Language School, Kamloops Multicultural Society, Kamloops Chapter of the National Association of Japanese Canadians, and the Kamloops Buddhist Temple.

RIO DE JANEIRO — World Cup visitors, welcome to Brazil, land of soccer, sun and skyhigh prices.

Unlike nearby Latin American nations where a tourist’s US dollar or European Union euro seemingly stretches forever, Brazil is astoundingly expensive.

If one’s budget isn’t immediately busted by the flight or the hotel, it will soon be done in by the $10 caipirinha cocktail, the $17 cheeseburger or the $35 pepperoni pizza.

And those are the prices city-dwelling Brazilians saw even before the World Cup set off a new standard of sticker shock.

“Prices in Rio are absurd,’’ Maria Anda, a Norwegian artist who has lived in Brazil for a year, said while enjoying the sunset on

The more you do unselfishly.

The more you live abundantly.

The more of everything you share, The more you’ll always have to spare.

The more you love,

Her unselfish dedication to her work and community was well recognized and she received many recognitions, appreciation certificates, and awards. Among those recognitions she was awarded the Kamloops YM/YWCA Women of Distinction Award (1998) for pioneering the role of women in high school administration, the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal (2012) in recognition of her long work to community and Country, and she was one of twelve women selected for a book titled “Not Just A Tea Party” celebrating Women’s Contribution to Community Life (2009).

A Memorial Service celebrating her life will take place at 1:30pm on Monday, June 9th, 2014 at the Kamloops Buddhist Temple, 361 Poplar St. Kamloops with Rev. Y Miyakawa officiating. In lieu of flowers please make a memorial donation to the Kamloops Japanese Canadian Association.

“I still like it. It’s worth being here, but it’s not paradise.’’

The dizzying prices are referred to here as the “Custo Brasil,’’ or “Brazil Cost’’— the mixture of high taxes and steep import tariffs, combined with bad infrastructure, a dose of inefficiency and a thick shot of bureaucracy.

Demand leading up to a big event like the World Cup naturally raises prices.

But, since costs already were high to begin with, tourists should prepare to dig deep into their wallets and not be too miffed to receive goods or services of inferior quality, said Rafael Alcadipani, a business administration professor at the Getulio Vargas Foundation, Brazil’s top think-tank .

Brazil tries to protect its local industries by charging high tariffs

on virtually all imported goods.

For travellers who lose or forget an item, they might decide to do without rather than pay local prices.

Take iPhones: The unblocked 5s that costs $649 in the U.S. has a starting price of $1,250 on Apple’s Brazilian website.

Need a pair of running shoes? A pair of the popular Nike Flyknit Lunar 2 runs about $313 at a Rio shopping mall — nearly triple the U.S. price.

The examples go on.

Levi 501 jeans start at $80. The $6.28 Big Mac is among the most expensive in the world.

Shaving cream, soap, tissues and aspirin are all are double to triple the prices found elsewhere.

“Everything is expensive,’’ said Nadir Fraguas, a retired bank employee who was at a Rio mall pondering

whether to spend the equivalent of more than $100 on a Brazil national team jersey for her grandson.

“Clothing, cars and food . . . Here, you pay a lot and you get very little. Prices were already high, but now they’re impossible.’’

“Anything you buy in Brazil will be more expensive than in the United States or Europe, but the quality is going to be worse,’’ Alcadipani said.

Hotel rates in many of the World Cup host cities more than doubled ahead of the tournament.

Massachusetts-based TripAdvisor reports visitors to Rio will face the highest prices, with hotel rates averaging $445 per night.

Add in food and other expenses, and Rio travellers should prepare to spend $682 each day.

CLIFFORD HENRY KNAUFF Encircled by his family, Clifford Henry Knauff passed away at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice on June 1st 2014. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife Lois, sons Stevo (Illya) of Sechelt, BC, Mike (Sherry) of Kamloops, his adored grandchildren Jove and Willie, Danielle and Taylor, sister Kit Knauff (Gale) of Ille d’Perrot, QC, brother Doug Dodd (Shirley) of Thunder Bay, ON, brother-in-law and sister-in-law Bob and Gail Chapman of Port Dover, ON, and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his father and mother, Clifford and Evelyn Knauff and stepsister Betty Lou Hahn.

Cliff was born in Port Arthur, ON on July 11, 1941. His early years were spent in Prince Rupert, BC. His family pioneered the town of Terrace Bay, ON, where Cliff grew up and completed school. Cliff and Lois were married on April 23, 1962 and started their family.

After Cliff completed his Instrumentation apprenticeship at the Terrace Bay pulp mill the family moved to Gold River, BC in 1967. In 1968 the family moved to Kamloops where Cliff began work with Weyerhaeuser Pulp. He retired in 2002.

Cliff was the first chairperson for the Thompson Nicola Assessment and Resource Center, Vice President/Director (2008-2014) for the Board of Kamloops Crime Stoppers and an active member of his Strata Council for over 25 years. Cliff made a difference.

An avid outdoorsman Cliff loved to fish and camp. He enjoyed all sports, loved to read and competed passionately at any type of card game. Cliff’s biggest joy was watching his grandchildren participate in their events. He could be counted on to attend and his applause will be forever missed.

Thank you to Dr. M. Cattaneo and staff for their care and concern and to the compassionate staff and volunteers at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice.

Special thanks to the family and friends who gave their support during this difficult journey.

A celebration of life will be held on June 15, 2014 at Calvary Community Church (Fireside Room) 1205 Rogers Way, Kamloops at 1:00 pm.

Should friends desire, donations to Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home would be appreciated.

EDNA IRENE DREGER

FRANK JOHN (STUART)BROWN

Edna passed away peacefully at the Gemstone Care Center.

Mom was born in Duncan, BC and raised on a farm near Mission. Her early years of berry picking, milking cows and dealing with a wood stove stood her in good stead for the duration of her life. A year of “Normal School” landed her a teaching position in Britannia Beach on Howe Sound, where she met Fred, the man she would marry. They had two boys, Glenn and Russ in short succession. Fred was a miner and Jack of all trades, so they lived in several small BC mining towns, Wells, Kelowna and Hedley, before Fred was injured, and became a barber. After a few years in Vancouver, they moved to Kamloops in 1955 where Edna was the teacher in the one room Long Lake School for a year. They settled in Knutsford, where she put her gardening skills and her teaching certificate to work. She spent a year teaching in North Kamloops Elementary, and the remainder of her career in Beattie School.

Mom was an excellent seamstress and knitter, creating many wonderful pieces of clothing for herself, her family and her friends. Predeceased by her husband Fred, she maintained the log house he had built, and the gardens, until they became too much for her, and she moved into Kamloops Senior’s Village. Mom was a warm, caring and loving lady who will be missed by everyone she came to know.

With deep sadness we share the news of the sudden passing of Stuart at his home in Qualicum Beach. Stuart was born in New Westminster to Rona and Frank Brown. The family moved to Kamloops in 1948 where Stuart had a loving relationship with his family including aunts, uncles, and cousins. His friendships with high school friends were lasting, kept up over many years.

Stuart fondly remembered and looked forward to family gatherings, both those of his childhood, and of his own children and grandchildren.

April 1, 1942 – June 2, 2014

Dec 2, 1923 – May 28, 2014

The last of her family, Edna leaves behind her two boys, Glenn and Russ with their wives Di and Carol, as well as grandchildren Heidi (David Andersen), Jason (Kana), and Russ and Carol’s son Kevin, who predeceased her. She also has two great-grandchildren, Zoë and Harper Andersen.

Mom was past her 90th birthday. She had led a good life, and was prepared for death.

At her request, she will be cremated, have her ashes mixed with Fred’s and distributed in places they both loved. A small gathering of family and friends will be held at a later date.

We will always miss her smile and positive approach to life.

Sincere thanks to Carol, who attended to Mom’s needs almost daily in her final year of life.

The family would also like to express our gratitude to Dr. Lawrie and Dr. Del Begio for the years of care and support given to Mom. As well, thank you to all those at RIH, Ponderosa Lodge and Gemstones who provided such loving care to Mom over the past year.

In lieu of flowers, should friends desire, donations to The Compassionate Friends (Box 29, Knutsford, BC V0E 2A0), The Stephen Lewis Foundation “Grandmothers to Grandmothers” (501 – 260 Spadina Ave., Toronto, ON, M5T 2E4), or to Ducks Unlimited (954 Laval Ave., Kamloops BC, V2C 5P5) in memory of Edna would be much appreciated.

A Celebration of Life for DOREEN HAY will be held on Saturday, June 21 at 1:30 p.m. in the Mountain Room, Campus Activity Centre, Thompson Rivers University

Stuart retired with his life partner, Ghislaine to Qualicum Beach, where they enjoyed many happy years fishing and golfing. Stuart was an avid reader, a very good cook, and an excellent bridge player. He deeply appreciated the natural beauty of his native province, Kamloops and the Island especially, with so many memorable days spent on inland lakes and ocean waters.

Stuart was predeceased by his parents and daughter, Shelley Rae Mayzes. He is survived by his best friend and loving partner, Ghislaine; son Dean (Jackie); daughter Candiss; five grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. Stuart will also be greatly missed by his sister, Frances (Ian) Maclean of Victoria, and brother, Justice Neill Brown (Joan) and their children of Abbotsford.

Karen, It feels like years but it has only been one. And yet that is still too long. I still love you the same as if you were still here with me, laughing during the good times and crying during the bad ones. I miss being able to call you any time and spend hours talking about everything under the sun. As children we were practically joined at the hip, but we grew up and we grew apart, as most siblings do.

We had our own set of friends and our own set of goals for our lives, but that still didn’t change the fact that we were sisters. There was nothing that I wouldn’t do for you and nothing that you wouldn’t do for me. I always wish you were still here with me enjoying life, but I can understand why God would want such a beautiful angel on his side from now until eternity. Just know that I love you and miss you, and this is the tribute to you, my big sister Karen.

To the market they are going

By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

With a new manager at the helm, the Saturday incarnation of the Kamloops Farmers’ Market is getting set for one of its biggest years on record.

Annelise Grube-Cavers has taken over the weekend event for 2014 and said the market is filling St. Paul street to capacity — an impressive feat given warm weather has just begun.

“Right now, it’s growing as much as it can in the space that is has,” she said.

“We could definitely use some more city collaboration. There’s some infrastructure we’d like to have built around there.

“But, to me, the market seems bigger and more sold out than it ever has before.”

Permanent public washrooms, along with more street furniture for older shoppers, are among the items

on the wish list for the market.

With the return of the weekend event comes the return of the nutrition-coupon program, a provincewide initiative that helps low-income households access healthy food options.

The program, which Grube-Cavers said has been incredibly successful in Kamloops, will be helping 80 Kamloops households this year — 25 seniors and 55 families involved in the Baby’s Head Start Program — and will begin this month.

Also returning this year is a plethora of artisans, buskers, live music and vendors, with special-interest groups also in attendance to educate customers on a variety of causes.

For more information, check out the Kamloops Farmers’ Market website at kamloopsfarmersmarket.com.

The website will soon feature bios of vendors so customers can check out what will be available at the market in advance of attending.

Two for the show Vegas-style tribute artists coming to town X From B1

By Jessica Wallace STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

HERE was a time when Adam Fitzpatrick wasn’t an Elvis fan.

Now, the professional Elvis Presley tribute artist has a silver title under his belt from a world competition, and he’ll be performing live at Sagebrush Theatre on Tuesday, June 17.

“I wouldn’t change it for the world, but it was definitely not what I thought I was going to be doing,” Fitzpatrick said.

He got his start unexpectedly after watching a friend’s father perform at the annual Penticton Elvis Festival in his hometown.

He hadn’t even heard music from the King at the time, but the experience encouraged him to buy some old music.

“I just really liked listening to it,” he said.

Then, in 2008, he and a friend dared each other to compete in the same competition.

“I ended up beating out both of them [his

From there, “it just kept growing” until he quit his job as a manager at Boston Pizza.

“It just went from a one-time thing and turned into a full-time career,” he said.

He credits his inexperience as a singer to his uncanny abilities to match the King’s vocals.

“I wasn’t a singer before; therefore, I didn’t really have a voice to change,” he said.

Fitzpatrick practised and studied how to perform Elvis through

the eras.

He can portray an Elvis from the 50s, but his main sets consist of the 70s, black leather and jumpsuits.

His favourite go-to Elvis tune is Bridge Over Troubled Water.

“It’s just a gorgeous song,” he said.

It’ll likely be on the setlist in Kamloops and played by a 10-piece band when he is joined

by Joe Kelso as Roy Orbison and Michael Fic, as Tom Jones and Neil Diamond during a “Vegas-style show.”

“I feel very lucky to be able to do this for a living,” Fitzpatrick said.

CAMPING THE CASCADE COOP

By Jane Cassie

SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com

C

AMPING, FOR some keeners, means crammingin as many adrenaline-surging activities as possible.

For me, it’s all about roasting marshmallows over an open fire, lying back with a good book and connecting with Mother Nature.

And, during this threeday trip of Washington’s Cascade Loop, I enjoy just that.

Our entry point is SedroWooley, a quaint Skagit Valley community dotted with century-old farm houses and fields of pretty tulips.

Soon after ascending Highway 20 and meeting up with the turbulent Skagit River, these blooming beauties are replaced by centuryold hemlock and cedar.

In December, these stately stands become perfect hangouts for bald eagles that

come to prey on the spawning salmon.

Diablo Lake is our first of many photo moments.

Its brilliant turquoise colour, attributed to fine glacial silt, is mesmerizing — not just for us picturetakers, but for kayakers and canoeists, too.

Outdoor enthusiasts also gravitate to the many hiking trails along this drive, one being the Pacific Crest National, a route that snakes all the way from Manning Park to Mexico.

It would be a fabulous trekking experience, but I’m in laid-back mode.

Our surroundings continue to exhilarate.

My husband Brett and I slice through the Methow Valley and scoot around heaven-bound mounds of granite.

When cloaked in wintry white, this drier interior zone lures the cross-country skiers.

And, during the warmer

250-374-0831

250 Lansdowne Street 800-667-9552

wellsgraytours.com

months, the pathways become a haven for horseback lovers.

En route to our first campground, we pass Mazama’s Freestone Inn, a posh spot that epitomizes the lap of luxury.

Jetted tubs, quilted beds, yummy cuisine — we’d definitely have a night of seclusion and serenity if we stayed here.

But, no — we keep truckin’ and eventually snuggle up for the night with Mother Earth instead.

At a 1,100-metre elevation, Lone Fir Campground is a heavenly spot to pitch a tent.

Our site is just steps away from Early Winters Creek and a short stroll from the trailhead to Cutthroat Lake.

Sun Mountain Lodge is another alluring temptation the following day.

From its lofty mountaintop plateau, near the western town of Winthrop, we’d be

privy to lavish living and spa treatments, as well as horseback and hay rides.

Once again, we decline and, instead, spend the afternoon sauntering the boardwalk and moseying through some of the emporiums of this Gunsmoke-look-alike town.

From Lake Chelan and, later, Wenatchee, we’re confronted with too many activities than we have time for during our short trip.

Brent is keen on mountain biking or treking.

Meanwhile, I’m drawn to the many picnic pull-offs where we can relax.

Our second night with nature is spent at Lake Wenatchee State Park, a 489-acre outdoor mecca that nestles up to a glacier fed lake.

There’s a lot to do between swimming, hiking and horseback riding.

I think about the options, albeit briefly.

My lawn chair waits

patiently to be used.

The Bavarian village of Leavenworth merits a long coffee stop the next morning.

Onward and upward.

After veering around the steep walls of Tumwater Canyon, we climb and summit at Coles Corner — a recreation hangout for boaters and fishermen.

Skiers also get in on the action every winter at nearby Stephens Pass.

Action-packed adventures continue to parallel the rest of our scenic loop.

Rock climbers ascend gravity-defying cliffs in the town of Index.

Whitewater rafters challenge the rushing torrents of Skykomish River.

Golfers putt on manicured greens in Monroe.

And, I’m quite content to check them all out from my comfy passenger seat.

We finalize this Cascade trip in the quaint town of Snohomish.

“We could venture a little further to Everett and go whale watching or rent a couple of bikes,” Brent suggests.

“Not this time,” I say.

“The camping was enough for me this trip.”

People are becoming more conscious about the elements of their home.

They are paying attention to detail and know what they want. With the cost of running a large house becoming more apparent, homeowners are demanding the most of their living space.

President of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association Central Interior (CHBA CI) Matt McCurrach said anyone who is thinking of building a house should do as much of their homework as possible — know what you want and then talk to industry professionals. Whether it’s a builder, a house designer or a realtor, professionals can consult with you and bring your ideas to fruition.

“Really think about what your ideas are,” he said. “What’s most important to you in a home?”

McCurrach said it’s also crucial to have your priorities straight when it comes to your home requirements. Is it the location? Is it the size of the house?

MATT MCCURRACH President, Canadian Home Builders’ Association Central Interior “I think people are becoming a lot more detail oriented in their homes,” McCurrach said. “They’re a lot more conscious of what goes into a house now.”

McCurrach, who is also the operations manager of Homex Development Corp., said there are a variety of projects in Kamloops right

LO TS

A little closer to nature A little more for families a little more of everything A little more value

now, both multi-family and single-family dwellings.

Although the number of residential building permits are down, he said the CHBA CI still anticipates a good year.

Now is the time when many projects will get off the ground. McCurrach said all areas of the city are equally active and projects are spread out across the city.

Townhouses, condos and houses are all going up, but McCurrach said people are very conscious about what they buy and are moving away from building very large homes.

“They’re not all after the huge homes anymore,” he said. “They’re a lot more conscious of the cost to run a home, so they want generally smaller footprints but good usable space and natural light.”

Storage and garage space are more and more important as people now have a tendency to keep things off of their lawns and driveways. Bringing the inside outside continues to be a trend

and homeowners are increasingly trying to make the most of the outdoor living component of houses.

McCurrach said gas fire pits, nice patios and outdoor heaters are common and suited for the year-round climate in Kamloops.

Home automation is also becoming more prevalent. With today’s technology, you can control many of the functions in your home with a smart phone or tablet and a growing number of people are taking advantage of that.

Home colour trends are lighter this year, with whites and greys coming back and regaining popularity. McCurrach said clean lines inside and outside the house are also prominent right now, and have been increasingly important for the past few years.

Kitchens and ensuites are still the number one area of interest to homebuyers, who are always looking for great qualities in those areas, McCurrach said.

HOME DECOR How many times have you checked into a hotel and been impressed by the decor? Hotels spend millions of dollars to get that perfect look and feel - one that can appeal to travellers with various design aesthetics. So, if you’re looking to reinvigorate your home with a fresh new look, your favourite hotel can be one of the best sources of inspiration.

The hotel experts at Choice Hotels Canada want to help you get that stylish look with five tips to bring the hotel to your home.

Paint the walls: Revive your walls with a fresh coat of paint, but keep it neutral and uncomplicated. If you need colour, consider an accent wall in a slightly deeper tone or a wall vinyl with a modern nature-inspired pattern.

Simplify the furniture: Ditch the bulky, patterned or outdated pieces in exchange for furniture with clean lines and solid colours. But don’t worry; you can keep personality with fun accessories, like pillows with funky designs or unique textures.

shopping GUIDE

Brighten the bathroom: A large mirror for the bathroom is a staple in many upscale hotels and it also offers better light. Another quick and easy upgrade are new plush towels – in white, of course.

Unclutter: Get rid of things you don’t need such as the miniature horse collection on your fireplace or the 25 frames dominating your bookshelf.

Instead, decide on a few key things to display and put the rest in storage.

Find your inner Zen: Have you noticed when you check into a hotel room, you often feel a sense of calm? It could be exhaustion from travelling, but hotels are also designed to provide comfort to their guests. Asian-inspired décor pieces can encourage set a spalike feel in the space and a lavender c a n d l e o r t w o w o n ’ t h u r t e i t h e r.

So turf the designer and do it yourself.

With just five easy steps, you can give your personal space the hotel look you love, but without the nightly rate.

2 0 1 4 Deck

A popular trend for patios and decks this season is a lounge style, with a built in kitchen or bar. Bringing indoor décor styles outside continues to be a hot trend that is perfect for the dry summer climate in the Thompson Nicola.

Outdoor living is all about bring the inside to the outside. The trend has been hot for the last five years but with the dry and hot summer climate in Kamloops, it’s still a popular style choice for patios and decks. Kamloops designer Michele Hunt Wiebe of 4 Sister Designs said because the region doesn’t get a lot of rain, you can easily use inside furniture outside on your deck or patio, especially if your deck has some sort of coverage. Although you can get modern outdoor furniture that resembles indoor styles, you have the freedom to choose pieces that aren’t

necessarily designed to go outside.

“You don’t have to be stuck with going and getting the PVC or composite material tables and chairs,” Wiebe said. “You can have a little more fun. Put a funky glass table outside that you would put in your living room. Try it outside.”

She said natural looks have taken over the previous hollywood glam styles for patios. It doesn’t end with furniture, however.

A popular trend right now is to have different

sections on your deck, much like you would in your kitchen and dining room.

“We tend to focus on small areas on your deck,” Wiebe said. “Depending on your needs, you might have a dining room table, you might have a built in kitchen or bar. Bars seem to be even more popular now than kitchens do.”

healthy landscapes, healthy living

proper lawn care

We Can Do That!

Have a lawn you can feel good about. Here are three lawn care tips that will save time, money and water:

1. Mow High Leaving grass 5 – 7.5 cm (2-3”) tall, shades the roots and helps prevent evaporation.

Grass grows deeper and stronger roots that can overpower weeds. Avoid cutting off more than 1/3 of the grass height.

Our unparalleled technicians, glass quality, prompt installations, and pristine repairs are what have allowed our business a decade of success, and hundreds of satisfied clients. Southwest Glass sets itself apart by providing our clients with personable service, and a very strong passion for our work. Whether your needs are commercial or residential, you can always trust Southwest Glass to provide the greatest service at the lowest price, guaranteed.

Premium Service

Summer is almost here!

For over ten years, Southwest Glass has been providing exceptional glass installation and replacement services in the Kamloops area.

Our Glass Patio Railings are the ultimate addition to your deck. Enjoy the beautiful Kamloops summers in style!

2. Grasscycle Leave grass clippings on the lawn when mowing. Eliminate bagging and raking and reduce watering and fertilizing.

3. Water Properly Water deeply, but infrequently. This means watering 1 - 2 days per week, but when you do, give your grass about 2.5 cm (1") of water. As with mowing high, this also produces deeper stronger roots and helps the grass withstand dry periods.

Other practices that will encourage a healthy lawn: Dethatching – Aerating – Topdressing – Overseeding - Fertilizing Try corn gluten meal to manage weeds. It is an organic fertilizer that prevents the germination of seeds, however, it does not control existing weeds.

DESIGN GUIDE

Kitchens or bars are often an extension of a typical barbecuing area. For entertaining purposes, a bar and sitting area is suited for serving drinks and appetizers rather than a more formal dining setting.

Weather-proof televisions are increasingly popular on patios, which ties in nicely with the bar vibe.

“That whole fireplace/TV/bar/lounge feel is probably the number one trend,” Wiebe said, adding that gas fire pits are still a very popular

choice, as well.

Outdoor lighting is becoming a feature on patios, whether its built into the stairs or a statement style piece, such as oversized pendant lamps.

In Kamloops, many people want some sort of shade covering, especially if you have a southfacing deck. Choices range from a simple patio umbrella to larger pergolas. Even umbrellas come in more sophisticated options, such as styles with a large swing arm.

Retractable coverings are a popular option for those who want to enjoy their outdoor space in both the spring fall months. Patrick Foidart at Nu-Vue Exteriors said motorized awnings and sunrooms are a frequent request.

For deck materials there are many options, from the standard concrete and composite materials or cedar plank. Foidart said they are still doing a lot of vinyl membrane decking, which is durable and nice on the feet.

But you can also get materials that look like hardwood floors or wood tiles. For renters or anyone who doesn’t want to invest in permanently altering their decking there are temporary wood tiles you can purchase that simply lay overtop of your current surface.

“It gives you a totally new look. You can stain them you can paint them, you can do whatever you want with them and then they lift right back up,” Wiebe said.

For railings, Foidart said topless glass is still the most popular choice.

Real Estate M A R K E T

SAHALI IS NUMBER ONE CHOICE FOR BUYERS Ingrid Pfeiffer, president of the Kamloops and District Real Estate Association, said she was reluctant to post statistics for March sales.

“It wasn’t a good month,” she said, “but we’ve caught up now” with the release of statistics processed to the end of April.

That report shows more than $65 million in residential real estate was sold and brings the year-todate total to $183 million. Last year at the end of the first quarter, the local real estate association reported $210 million in residential sales.

Pfeiffer said one of the realities realtors confronted was “the bad winter we had.”

With a lot of activity in buying houses in the $240,000 to $280,000 range, “that tells me there are a lot of first-time buyers,” she said.

Sahali remains the No. One choice for homebuyers, she said, with 22 sold in that area in April.

We s t s y d e c o m e s i n s e c o n d w i t h 18 houses sold, while Aberdeen, Brocklehurst and South Kamloops each saw 17 houses change owners.

I t ’s p o p u l a r b e c a u s e i t i s close to downtown, shopping centres, the university and several schools, Pfeiffer said.

She said she’s finding “more and more people coming from different areas” to the River City, including many from Alberta who are coming back to B.C. after leaving years ago.

“Kamloops is a nice size and has a good feeling,” she said. “And people are so nice here. I was talking to someone I sold a house to a while ago and she said ‘Are people always this friendly?’

“That’s what’s great about Kamloops.”

BACKYARD Summer is here and while not all of us can escape to the beach or cottage, we can create our very own backyard oasis. It starts with considering what you already have and the areas of your backyard that could use a little love. Your oasis should reflect your personal taste and serve as a retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Read more for ideas on how to bring this concept to life: Create a cozy outdoor lounge area.

Make your outdoor space feel like your indoor living room. Comfortable and clean patio furniture will do just that, enticing families and friends to sit outside and enjoy the warm summer months. This will be the centre of your oasis, a gathering place, so making it comfortable and welcoming is important.

Bring the barbecue back to life.

Grimy grills aren’t a welcome part of any backyard. Give it a good cleaning with the popular brand Arm & Hammer Baking Soda. Using a damp brush, give the grill and overall

summer OASIS

barbecue a good scrub and then a thorough rinse to bring the lustre back for a new season of grilling.

Spruce up the garden. Your garden is a magical place, allowing you to escape the realities of day-to-day life so you can enjoy the simple beauty of flora and fauna. When designing your backyard keep the amount of sunlight and water that plants will need in mind. Be sure to include the colour and textures that you love to create an environment you’ll want to retreat to at the end of the day.

Bring a sparkle to your pool and outdoor toys. Whether you have an in-ground pool or one of the inflatable variety, a few toys serve as necessary accessories for a fun and carefree environment. If they’ve been stored over the winter, mix baking soda with warm water and give the toys a good wipe or soak and then rinse.

T

With every game — including the two pre-season games — broadcast on TSN, football fans will have ample opportunity to get acquainted with familiar veterans (such as starting quarterback Travis Lulay, left) and fresh-faced rookies.

The 2014 schedule (below) consists of 18 regular-season games and two pre-season contests.

Of note on this year’s schedule: • June 28 vs. Edmonton: Playing the Evil Empire is always a fierce affair.

Promising Esks’ QB Mike Reilly is a former Lions’ pivot.

• July 19 vs. Montreal: The Als arrive with celebrated former NFL WR star Chad Johnson (if he is still on the squad by this time, pending expected suspensions or decisions to join an arena league club).

• Aug. 24 vs. Saskatchewan: The defending Grey Cup champs come to town, with the Lions knowing they dominated the Riders in last year’s Western semifinal in Regina — until the fourth quarter.

Will the Lions have extra incentive on this date?

HE COMING 2014 season is a landmark campaign for the Canadian Football

League.

For the first time since 2005, the venerable circuit will have nine teams with the return of three-down football to the nation’s capital.

The debut of the Ottawa RedBlacks this year brings the CFL back to the nineteam, two-division format that fans enjoyed for decades when Ottawa was home to the legendary Rough Riders and, later, the not-so-legendary Renegades.

Ottawa’s return also sends Winnipeg back to where it belongs — in the West Division, which once again has a five-team slate.

In the West, B.C., Edmonton, Calgary, Saskatchewan and Winnipeg will vie for three playoff spot.

In the East, Ottawa, Toronto, Hamilton and Montreal will also battle for three playoff berths.

The B.C. Lions will first play the RedBlacks in Ottawa on Sept. 5, while fans at BC Place Stadium will get their first in-person look at the expansion squad on Oct.11.

Allen Douglas/KTW

For the record, the last time the Lions played an Ottawa CFL team, the date was Sept. 8, 2005. The place was Ottawa. And B.C. won big — 61-27.

The 2014 season is also a landmark campaign for the B.C. Lions.

If a recent tradition started by the Leos holds up, don’t be surprised to see the boys

in orange and black hoist Earl Grey’s Cup on Sunday, Nov. 30.

This year’s Grey Cup championship game is being staged in BC Place Stadium in Vancouver.

In 2011, the big game was also held in BC Place Stadium, with the Lions defeating Winnipeg.

The victory was the first

time a team had won the Grey Cup on its home field since 1994 — when B.C. defeated Baltimore under the Dome.

While 17 years passed between the Lions being the only teams to claim the Cup on home soil, B.C.’s 2011 victory has started a trend.

In 2012, Toronto won the Grey Cup at home.

In 2013, Saskatchewan was victorious at home.

Will 2014 see the Leos capture the seventh championship since their birth in 1954?

The answer to that pressing question will begin to reveal itself on Friday, June 13, when B.C. opens the 2014 season with an exhibition game in Edmonton.

GREY CUP MEMORIES 1964: Norm Fieldgate (DE/LB) SITE: TORONTO B.C. Lions 34, Hamilton Tiger-Cats 24

“Well, the year itself, we had a great year to get into it. We had a great season with Joe [Kapp, quarterback] and Willie [Fleming, running back] and everybody, Tom Brown.

“I guess, when we got going on during the course of the year, we figured, well, we’ve got a good chance.

1985: Al Wilson (OL) SITE: MONTREAL B.C. Lions 37, Hamilton Tiger-Cats 24 “It was a very veteran team and we’d been together for a long time. We had lost in ’83 in front of our home fans by a single point, then the next year we lost in the Western Final to Winnipeg, our hated rivals at the time, and we were one of the winningest teams in the CFL. “I guess the biggest standout is the team was very tight and close together, but we knew a lot

1994: Jamie Taras (OL) SITE: VANCOUVER B.C. Lions 26, Baltimore Football Club 23 “One thing I always remember, I roomed with a guy named Vic Stevenson, who was a crusty old lineman, played in Saskatchewan for a many, many years and he had been in the league a long, long time.

“We were good roommates, we got along real well together and there were no issues.

“Just to give you the importance of the game, because it was the big Canadian-American thing,

“We had been to the Grey Cup in ’63, at home and lost it.

“The thing was, now, was to get into the Grey Cup and win it, which we did.

of us were at the end of our careers, right?

“The night is nigh, they say, and we knew this was our last shot at a championship together, so I guess that was the biggest driving motivation.

“A lot of times when you go into a championship game, you know there’s another year and a lot of us knew this could be our last shot at a championship.

“When I look back and I think about that team, it was very, very good, but that was one of the driving factors we talked about — this might be our last shot, guys, together, so that was the big motivation behind a lot of us.

“And when we won, we were happy and ecstatic and we were relieved.

“We had done what was expected, right?

“We had been waiting for it for three years.”

of course we were both Canadians, proud Canadians and we didn’t want to lose the Cup to the United States and all that stuff.

“I remember they actually put us in a hotel downtown, I think it was the Hyatt, the night before the game. I remember waking up in the

morning and Vic’s gone. I’m like, ‘Where the heck is he?’ I thought maybe he got up early.

“But, I guess he was so pumped up about the game, so restless he couldn’t sleep, so he drove all the way back to Fort Langley to sleep, which was not like him at all because, you know, he’d been through a lot of these things, a lot of wars.

“Then the next day, carrying that forward, as they were playing the Canadian national anthem, we’re all getting fired up on the sidelines and I look over and see the tears streaming down Vic’s cheeks.

“Gave you the kind of feeling like, man, this is a big moment, this is important.”

see but, to me, it looked like the Grey Cup.

“I kind of said a little prayer and I took that to be a sign, to me, that we were meant to win the game and it was all going to be all right because, obviously, you know, you’re a little stressed before the game starts out and you want things to go your way.

“So, I saw the cloud and I had faith that, on this day, the victory would be ours.

“There’s my little peculiar Grey Cup history for you.”

2000: Sean Millington (FB) SITE: CALGARY B.C. Lions 28, Montreal Alouettes 26 “As we were coming out on the field, like at introductions — actually it was after that, during the anthem — I remember looking up in the sky and looking at one of the clouds.

“I thought, that’s weird — to me, it really struck me that it was in the shape of the Grey Cup. “Obviously, everyone sees what they want to

“We had some great players on the team and we put it all together at the right time.

“It’s expectation.

“As a player, it’s not just another game, obviously. You got there and the excitement to get to where you got to — a lot of the young guys were pretty excited, we all were excited to be there.

“And, of course, we were excited to win.

“I guess, at the time, you’re excited and all that but, when it’s all over, I guess it’s just another game.”

2006 - Javier Glatt (LB) SITE: VANCOUVER B.C. Lions 25, Montreal Alouettes 14 “I guess, for me, of course we had a lot of really good teams in that span from 2005 to 2008. Four years straight we had awesome teams. 2006 was the only year we won and I feel like it really had a lot to do with out chemistry.

“So, one thing that stands out for me is just guys would stay after practice for hours. Like almost every day, the locker room would be full of guys ordering pizza, playing cards and just

really investing time with each other.

“That was probably the closest-knit team I’ve played on in my whole career.

“So, one memory that comes back to me is the locker room and, like I say, ordering pizzas and playing cards until, literally, Billy [head trainer Reichelt] and Kato [equipment manager Kasuya] had to kick us out of there, just to shut down the building.

“It was a routine thing almost every day.

“Those types of things are really the differentiators between a championship team and a really good team.”

ing in the hotel and Wally Buono got up and talked about the post-game, championship celebration we will have in the hotel because he already knows we’re going to win.

“We talked about what we would do after we won because we already knew we were going to win.

“I can’t stress how crazy it was, coming from 0-5, wondering if we’d ever win another game, to getting ready for the Grey Cup game, having not a shadow of a doubt that we were going to win that championship.

“It was pretty fascinating to see that, in one season, swing that hard.”

2011 - Angus Reid (OL) SITE: VANCOUVER B.C. Lions 34, Winnipeg Blue Bombers 23 “Well, I mean, there’s the obvious — starting 0-5 and the way the guys rallied around each other.

“The one thing I can say is, I have never seen a team’s confidence swing more. When we were 0-5 and 1-6, we weren’t sure if we were ever going to win another game.

“And then, when we got into the Grey Cup, I’ll never forget the morning meeting of the game. So, we had a team meeting that morn-

6 PAUL MCCALLUM - K, RICKY SCHMITT - P KTW says: The Lions are giving McCallum’s 44-year-old leg a rest by signing former Saskatchewan Roughrider punter Schmitt to handle kickoffs and punts. McCallum will focus on field goals. If McCallum is out of range on three-point attempts, the 28-year-old Schmitt should be more than able as he is the all-time leader in field goals at NCAA Division II Shepherd University in West Virginia.

Sofia BOLD Salad

COURTNEY TAYLOR - SB KTW says: With Nick Moore gone to Winnipeg, Taylor has the chance to become the Lions’ go-to receiver for many years to come. The Lions are deep at receiver, with talented imports and Canadians, but Taylor’s speed (4.5s/40) and size (six-foot-two, 204 pounds) complement his impressive 36-inch vertical reach.

Watch for Taylor to eclipse 1,500 yards and assume the mantle vacated by legend Geroy Simon.

TRAVIS LULAY - QB KTW says: Undisputed No. 1 at QB, but will need to stay sharp with the ageless Kevin Glenn in the backup role. In Calgary last year, Glenn (35 this month) showed he is still a premier pivot.

How well Lulay responds to off-season shoulder surgery on his labrum is the team’s foremost question that will be answered.

LEADING THE PRIDE The 2014 B.C. Lions’ coaching staff is led by head coach Mike Benevides and includes Joe Paopao, a name familiar to those who followed the Leos in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Paopao was QB from 1978 to 1982 and in 1990 and was on the coaching staff in 1989, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, 1999 and 2000.

THE STAFF

ANDREW HARRIS - RB

KHALIF MITCHELL - DT

KTW says: The pride of Winnipeg via the junior football Vancouver Island Raiders, the RB had a tough season in 2013 following his breakout 2012 campaign. Look for Harris to return to dominant form as he attempts to elbow aside Stampeder RB John Cornish as the West’s best at that position. And, will Harris and Khalif Mitchell play nice? Remember, when the Lions traded Mitchell to Toronto between the 2012 and 2013 seasons, Harris tweeted, “Good riddance!!!!”

KTW says: The veteran defensive tackle is a huge talent — and can be big trouble. Mitchell had problems on and off the field during his last stint with B.C. (suspended for dirty play and fined for racist tweets) before being traded to Toronto. The Lions brought him back as a free agent and Mitchell has thus far said all the right things. Let’s see if his on-and-off-field actions match his words. And, let’s see if peace can be brokered with Harris.

Head coach: Mike Benevides (11th year on staff; third as HC) Defensive co-ordinator: Mark Washington (seventh year on staff; first as DC) Offensive co-ordinator/QB coach: Khari Jones (first season on staff) Special teams co-ordinator: Chuck McMann (seventh season as STC) Offensive line coach: Dan Dorazio (12th season as OLC) Running backs coach: Kelly Bates (fourth year on staff; third as RBC) Receivers coach: Joe Paopao (fourth stint with club; first year as RC) Defensive line coach: Carl Hairston (third season as DLC) Linebackers coach: Johnny Holland (first season on staff)
