It was a present with unintended consequences. A Westsyde mom is out of a home after the candles her two children gave her for Mother’s Day led to their trailer burning on Sunday afternoon. Assistant Fire Chief Dave McMahon said Kamloops Fire Rescue (KFR) firefighters were called to the Klassen fam-

ily’s home in the Warren’s Mobile Home Park on Westsyde Road at about 1 p.m. While crews put out the fire quickly and were able to keep it from spreading to surrounding buildings, the trailer itself was unsalvageable and will have to be torn down. “Unfortunately, the very nature of the construction of a mobile home — usually unless you’re there right at the point of ignition, they’re pretty much lost,” McMahon said.

An RCMP investigator has testified in a child-pornography trial that she viewed images of unclothed girls she estimated were between eight and 15 years of age. Those images were taken from discs the Crown alleges belonged to a retired schoolteacher who hid them beneath his floor. Jerry Waselenkoff, 66, is charged with a single count of possession of child pornography. His trial resumed yesterday in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops. RCMP Cpl. Kerry Blades estimated about 75 per cent of the discs seized contained child pornography. Examples noted in court included six videos of girls ranging in age from 8 to 15 years. The images were commonly focused on vaginal areas. Blades also noted the brand of the discs — Smartbuy — was unusual and something investigators had not seen before. What appeared to be serial numbers on a vacation photo disc found in Waselenkoff’s apartment and Smartbuy discs containing child pornography found by the contractor were close in sequence. RCMP Const. Stephen Merrick testified he was called in 2012 to the McGill Road apartment directly below Waselenkoff’s by a man doing electrical work. The man, who lived in the unit, earlier testified he found three CD cases in a ceiling area directly below Waselenkoff’s apartment and near a register vent above. He viewed some of the discs and decided to call police. Merrick said he reached in above the hole cut in the ceiling and found another wallet of discs. He seized all of them. The neighbour earlier testified Waselenkoff confronted him, telling him he was worried about his reputation and had suicidal thoughts after the discs were found. The trial is expected to continue this week.

Columbia Street project cost rising ROAD WIDENING WORK ESTIMATED AT $3.9 MILLION NOW PEGGED AT $4.8 MILLION ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops’ second major road project of the year will cost the city almost $1 million more than expected. In a report headed to council today, city capital-projects manager Darren Crundwell said the cost to widen Columbia street between Third and Sixth avenues now sits at nearly $4.8 million. The city had budgeted $3.9 million for the project, with $2.1 million in borrowed cash and the remaining money coming mostly from the city’s development cost charges fund. Crundwell said the city had three tenders for the project and is recommending council

go with the lowest option — a $2.6-million bid from B.A. Dawson Blacktop Ltd. Other bids were $2.7 million from Acres Enterprises Ltd. and $2.8 million from Extreme Excavating Ltd. “Due to the complexity of the project and, specifically, the complexity and extent of the work required by third-party utilities, the lowest tender price brings the project costs above the total available budget,” Crundwell said. More than $2 million of the revised budget for Columbia Street involves relocating utilities along the road, as well as materials, communications and the costs of acquiring land, including portions belonging to private homeowners on the south side of the 600-block of Columbia Street.

The city is proposing to make up its budget shortfall using just under $400,000 in additional development cost charges funding and $487,000 from its arterial roads budget. While council has sometimes chosen to postpone projects that blow the city’s budget, city staff have maintained the Columbia Street project must proceed this year to coincide with expansion at Royal Inland Hospital, which is expected to wrap up before the 2016 construction season. As part of the project, the city plans to install left-turn lanes at Fourth, Fifth and Sixth avenues, improve the sidewalk and construct a new bus pull-in bay on the south side of the street and close off left-turn access to Second Avenue.

AN ARRESTING EVENT Sheriff Rhonda Anderson slaps the cuffs on two-year-old Sage Wolff, who escaped by lowering her arms. The “arrest” was all in good fun as part of Police Week activities on Saturday at Sahali Centre Mall. Police Week continues to May 16. More photos are online at kamloopsthisweek.com.

Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod testified on Friday as a Crown witness in the trial of Mike Duffy, testifying about a fundraiser featuring the then-star senator in her riding. McLeod told KTW she was on the stand in an Ottawa courtroom for about 20 minutes. She is one of a number of MPs testifying about appearances by Duffy and how the accounting was done. Duffy is charged with 31 offences, including fraud, breach of trust and bribery, related to his time as senator. The former television newsman appointed senator by Prime Minister Stephen Harper came to Kamloops’ Rivershore Golf Links in June 2009 as part of a fundraiser tour of B.C. McLeod testified she, along with her husband, picked Duffy up in Kelowna, where he did a similar fundraising event for Kelowna-area MP Ron Cannan. The Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo riding association covered the costs of the Rivershore event, which included Sen. Nancy Greene Raine among attendees. “We picked him up in Kelowna and covered cost of his transportation and covered the cost of his stay,” McLeod told KTW, adding Duffy’s appearance raised money for the riding association despite costs incurred. “Fundraising is ongoing. You have to have enough money to run the campaign,” she said. “All parties have fundraisers.” The testimony will form part of the record to determine whether Duffy improperly used Senate funds to stage partisan events for the Conservative party.

We think that’s the right decision, but we will wait for the information before that decision is made.” The IHA announced in November it was looking at contracting out laundry if it is financially feasible. At the time, Lori Holloway, IHA’s regional director of facilities management, said there was no pre-determined option to replace the five large and six small laundry sites. The IHA spends about $10 million a year to operate the region’s laundry service. Another $10.5 million is needed over the next several years to replace aging equipment. On Nov. 11, 2014, the IHA and Lower Mainland health authorities issued a joint request for qualification to determine if private companies are interested in providing the services. It closed in December and a request for solutions from the qualified RFP contractors was issued in March. The request for solutions closes at the end of May.

Delay in KGHM Ajax’s mine application CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

KGHM Ajax will delay its application to the federal and provincial governments until the latter half of this year, according to the parent company’s latest financial report. The report from the Polish corporation identifies a requirement by the province to study alternative tailings storage as well as “stricter criteria applied in reviewing applications by

the decision-making authorities in Canada,” as reasons for the delay. KGHM Ajax’s most recent forecast for submission of its application was the second quarter of this year. “We’re looking at this summer,” company spokesman Robert Koopmans told KTW. Koopmans said there are a number of reasons for the delay; the fault is not solely with the provincially mandated tailings review in wake of last year’s Mount Polley mine breach. While the corporation committed

last year to publicly releasing some reports early, prior to submission of its application to the provincial and federal governments, Koopmans said it no longer intends to do so. “I doesn’t look like it. They’re [consultants’ reports] coming through at the last minute . . . “The reports feed other reports. They’re linked together.” Early release may also compromise the province’s screening process prior to accepting the complete application, he added.

Snowpack levels near spring averages CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

While several areas of the province are seeing the lowest snowpack in recorded history, both the South and North Thompson watersheds are within the normal springtime range. The most recent snowpack survey by B.C.’s river forecast centre found the South Thompson watershed at 81 per cent of normal and the North Thompson at 91 per cent. That compares to 14 per cent on Vancouver Island and 12 per cent on the South Coast — the lowest recorded numbers for the end of April. According to a graph produced by the City of Kamloops, the flow beneath Overlanders Bridge is considerably below last year’s level. Dan Sutherland, the city’s emergency program manager, said the river system bumped up earlier this spring with the onset of warm weather, taking with it low- and medium-elevation snowpack. “We saw the river rise four to six weeks early and go back down,” he said. “We haven’t seen that in past.” All that remains is alpine snowpack, the bulk of which will come down in the next month. The river at Overlanders Bridge typically peaks in early June. Sutherland said flooding can still occur in the valley if a number of weather-related events converge. Those include a spate of hot weather and warm evenings, followed by hard rains in the North Thompson system.

Kamplan: How do you want city to grow? ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

What do Kamloopsians want from their city? As a redraft of the city’s official community plan (better known as Kamplan) continues, project lead Maren Luciani said the city isn’t surprised by residents’ visions for the Tournament Capital. According to a

report tallying up responses from more than 1,000 residents, Kamloopsians want green spaces, walkable neighbourhoods, a denser downtown and North Shore and better transit. If that sounds familiar, it’s because the city’s current plan contains quite a few of the same goals. “We don’t anticipate any major game-chang-

Nor is everyone in the city convinced the downtown is badly in need of more offstreet parking, as the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association and others have argued. “Some believe more is needed, others believe other methods of transportation should be encouraged/ enhanced,” the report states. Improving transit was a favourite goal of many who contributed to the first stage of Kamloops, though stats

collected by the city show few transit users took part. Almost 40 per cent of respondents said they primarily drive to get around, with 26 per cent walking and 22 per cent cycling. Only 13 per cent of the public said the bus was their main transportation choice. The community’s continuing debate over the Ajax copper and gold mine also appears to have wormed its way into Kamplan conversations. “The community

seems divided on the need to protect industrial lands,” the report states. “Many encourage industrial development for increased/enhanced economic development opportunities, while others would prefer that certain industrial uses, particularly mining, cease within the area.” Mining appears several times through the report, with some residents stressing a need for “good paying jobs” and others raising concerns about environmental issues.

Luciani said the city will look to some of its other plans, including the city’s sustainability plan, as it tries to balance those disagreements. With its first round of feedback over, Luciani said city staff will spend months drafting policy goals and tweaking land use plans in the city based on what they’ve heard. The public will get a good a look at their draft plans in late 2015. A final Kamplan will be adopted by council in mid-2016.

City launces new property-info portal

party

As part of the new mapping service, the city is also rolling out myNeighbourhood, a web-based map that will allow residents to get a look at what city permits or applications are in the works near their homes. Director of development and engineering services Marvin Kwiatkowski said myNeighbourhood will make it easier for the community to see what development is taking place around Kamloops.

A new online tool from the City of Kamloops aims to make it easier to look up information about properties within city limits. The property information portal, launched last week, features an interactive map of the city. Information on individual properties includes assessment data, legal descriptions, proximity to fire halls and transit stops and garbagecollection schedules.

ers in this update,” said Luciani. There are a couple of points where public feedback got a bit contentious, however. While some of those who weighed in on Kamplan said they want to see a limit on development at the edges of the city and on rural lands, and a big push for infill such as condos and suites in the city’s core neighbourhoods, others like a little more breathing room, with space for large lots and single family homes.

THE NUMBER NEEDS MASSAGING

ews that the project to widen Columbia Street will cost about $1 million more than anticipated cannot help those who are lobbying for a “yes” vote in this fall’s performing-arts centre referendum. Because of the complexity of the Columbia project and extent of the work required by third-party utilities, the original estimated cost of $3.9 million has risen to $4.8 million after the city received bids on the work. Council is expected today to approve B.A. Dawson Blacktop Ltd. as the contractor for the project, which will see left-turn lanes added on Columbia Street at Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Avenues. The left-turn lane at Second Avenue will be closed, while sidewalk improvements will also be done. The significant increase has not been ignored by some KTW readers and has already been cited in connection to the performing-arts centre proposal. As one online commenter noted: “If they’re out by 20 per cent on a street reno, how far are they likely to be out on a $90-million arts centre?” While the performing-arts centre proposal is an ambitious and audacious one, the one problem that may be insurmountable is its projected cost. As Coun. Ken Christian notes in his column on this page, $90 million is a lot of money on any scale. Add in the cost per household per year, in addition to annual property-tax hikes, in addition to mega-projects like the $10-million Overlanders Bridge resurfacing, in addition to bad news about the cost of a yet-to-be-started Columbia Street redesign and the chances of the fall arts-centre referendum passing would seem low at best. Perhaps it would be wise for the powers-that-be to seriously revise the arts-centre idea and dial down the dollars to a number more palatable to an increasingly skeptical public.

More to learn about PAC

here has been a predictable backlash to the sticker price of the performingarts centre (PAC) proposed for the old Kamloops Daily News property on Seymour Street. Ninety-million is a lot of money on any scale but, in Kamloops, it seems to be over the threshold most are prepared to spend. Comments to me are tracking two to one against such an expenditure. I will accept the result of a referendum this fall and, if it is turned down, I would suggest the cultural strategic plan that envisioned the PAC be revisited. After all, it was written in 2002, 13 years ago, which can be a lifetime ago in the arts and entertainment industry. My hope is that, regardless of the referendum results, those votes are cast by an informed electorate. Much work is left to be done in that regard. Last week at council, I sought clarification on what a performing-arts centre is and isn’t. It is not a new site for the Kamloops Museum and Archives (although I believe we will need one some day). It is not a new home for Western Canada Theatre. It is not a new science centre (although the notion of arts and sciences in one room appeals to me). It is not a convention centre. It is not a new art gallery. It does not have elaborate food-service capacity. At its core, the PAC is a new performance venue for local, provincial and national artists to practise their craft and entertain their audiences.

KEN CHRISTIAN

View From

CITY HALL It will not replace Pavilion or Sagebrush theatres, but will expand and enhance arts and cultural opportunity for Kamloops performers and audiences. To me, that spells improved livability. Many established arts and cultural groups have been consulted for many months over the proposal, including the Kamloops Arts Council, Kamloops Art Gallery, Kamloops Symphony Orchestra, Western Canada Theatre, Kamloops Museum and Archives, dance academies, Theatre BC, Kamloops Film Society, Kamloops Festival and Kamloops Interior Summer School of Music. They all say there is a serious shortage of quality performance space for homegrown talent. The other aspect to the discussion is the use of a PAC to attract acts and entertainers that are currently bypassing Kamloops for want of an opening in a venue or a venue that is adaptable and suitable to their performance needs. Council has asked for that aspect of the report to be further investigated in consultation with

event promoters. A significant number of local residents seek out events in Kelowna, Vancouver or Calgary. Some of that revenue could possibly be repatriated and the potential for new visitor nights in Kamloops to be generated needs more work. Yes, this is expensive, but I believe it is in line with current construction costs. Royal Inland Hospital’s parkade is $80 million and a replacement school at South Kamloops secondary is estimated at $50 million. We also need to remember the $90-million figure includes property acquisition and a 350-stall downtown parkade. That leaves a true cost closer to $60 million — still big bucks, but becoming more reasonable. Given the financing and accrual options proposed in the report, it is going to work out to about 40 dollars per year on the average household. I believe that is affordable and I believe I would likely use such a facility a couple of times a year, if not more. For others, that is not an affordable amount and they likely never see themselves using a PAC. We have a lot more to learn about this project, but we need to have a spirited discussion and a strong referendum turnout to definitively answer the question and shape our collective vision for the future.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

IF DUFFY’S GUILTY, SEND HIM A MESSAGE Editor: Regarding Sen. Mike Duffy, If Sen. Mike Duffy is guilty of what he’s been accused of and, if he’s been doling out taxpayers’ money from a slush fund to whomever, then he better not be left with a taxpayer-funded pension at the end of the day. If he’s guilty of misappropriating the taxpayers’ money for his private and personal use, let’s hope the full letter of the law will rain down heavy on Duffy. If he’s guilty, Canadians need to see he is made an example of

in what not do with the taxpayers’ money when you are in the Senate. Anyone disagree? If he’s guilty, send him the message. It does make one wonder, though, whether this is just an isolated case within the Senate. The only way to know is to do a forensic review as a measure of goodwill on behalf of Canadian taxpayers. Shake the Senate tree and see what falls out. Les Evens Kamloops

WAKE UP OVER WASTE Editor: I read with great interest the May 1 article on using the waste wood in our forests (‘Up in smoke?). Everyone knows the abysmal pollution in the fall is a direct result of this terrible process. Ten years ago, a buddy of mine had some Swedish clients out in the forest and they looked at our slash piles with disbelief. In their country, they said, people would be in jail for wasting so much lumber. Sadly, instead of our government expanding power generation with this readily available source of energy, the B.C. Liberals are hell-bent on flooding more farmland and putting us another $10 billion in debt with yet another mega-project with the Site C dam. When will we wake up? Kevin Bonell Kamloops

MOTORIST’S METHOD OF MERGING THE PROBLEM Editor: A letter from MaryAnn Davy in the May 8 edition of KTW (‘Let’s decide on one merging method’) suggests what the problem is with merging onto Overlanders Bridge. Davy suggests there has to be one established method of merging and everyone needs to get on board with that. In saying that, she is, inadvertently, the problem. The decision has

already been made since forever — motorists are to use all open lanes until the point where traffic engineers have placed merge signs. This is to keep as much of the roadway open as possible and reduce the bottleneck. Motorists doing otherwise are the problem, extending the bottleneck to sometimes ridiculous lengths. It doesn’t matter how many motorists think it should be the other way.

Motorists are to use all open lanes “until the point where traffic engineers have placed merge signs. This is to keep as much of the roadway open as possible and reduce the bottleneck.

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online RE: STORY: COLUMBIA STREET PROJECT WILL COST ALMOST $1 MILLION MORE THAN EXPECTED:

“Surprise! Oh wait, no it’s not.” — posted by twelfthnight “If they’re out by 20 per cent on a street reno, how far are they likely to be out on a $90-million arts centre?” — posted by Ron Watt “Can we really equate one project going over budget to an arts centre going over budget? It’s guilt by association.” — posted by Tyler

RE: WILLIAMS COLUMN: THE NAKED TRUTH ABOUT THE GYM’S LOCKER ROOM:

“Although I’m not particularly interested in seeing other guys’ junk, I also expect to see it in changing rooms. And, yes, when the place is busy, there’s not much space for our personal bubbles. A pretty sight? No. Normal for such designated spaces? Yes” — posted by Bill Thompson

— G.S. DUNCAN

You can have 50 per cent or 75 per cent of motorists drive 60 km/h over the bridge when there’s no construction, but it’s still illegal.

Those motorists who insist on doing things their way need to get on board and merge according to the signs. Take your turn at the

merge point — left side, right side, left side, right side and keep the line flowing. G.S. Duncan Kamloops

While KFR will investigate the fire to rule out other causes, as is routine, McMahon said mom Nancy Klassen told him she had lit one of the candles she was given for Mother’s Day and left it unattended. “When she re-entered the room, the drapes were on fire and the fire spread too rapidly for her to do anything about it,” he said. “So, she got the children out, which is the most important thing, but, unfortunately, she lost her home.” McMahon said Emergency Social Services, a volunteer group that works with the City of Kamloops, was called in as soon as it was clear the mobile home could not be saved. The group works with residents on insurance matters, helps set up temporary accommodation and provides emotional support. “They’ve got teddy bears for the kids

and all the rest of it. Just trying to take the sting out of probably the worst day of your life at that point,” McMahon said. Jason Grund with Volunteer Kamloops has also set up an account to collect cash donations for the Klassens online at gofundme.com/u7m3kj4c. A day after the fire, Grund said he had not been able to get in touch with the family, but was hoping to do so. Grund said he plans to leave the campaign open for a month. McMahon said KFR wants to remind the public that candles can be dangerous. “If you’re going to enjoy candles, be in the room with them. Don’t leave candles unattended, certainly not near any flammable materials, because it gets out of control very, very fast,” he said. “I think she did have an extinguisher, but it was still too much for her to be able to deal with.”

With conditions extremely dry and with the first large wildfire threatening homes 70 kilometres southwest of Prince George, burning restrictions in the Kamloops area are on the way. Effective at noon on Friday, the size of open fires will be restricted in the Kamloops Fire Centre, with the exception of the Clearwater and Salmon Arm fire zones. The prohibition will remain in effect until Oct. 15 or until further notice. Prohibited activities include: • The burning of any waste, slash or other materials (piled or unpiled) larger than one-

half metre by one-half metre. • The burning of more than two open fires of any size at the same time. • Stubble or grass fires of any size over any area. • The use of fireworks, sky lanterns or burning barrels of any size or description. The fire restriction does not ban campfires that are a half-metre high by a half-metre wide (or smaller) and does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes. Since April 1, Kamloops Fire Centre crews have responded to 12 wildfires covering more than 129 hectares, many of which were the result of open burning.

The Kamloops Fire Centre stretches from the northern border of Wells Gray Park to the U.S. border in the south, and from the Bridge River Glacier west of Gold Bridge to the Monashee Mountains east of Lumby. Those burning illegally can be fined $345 or, if convicted in court, may be fined up to $100,000 and sentenced to one year in jail. If the burning causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person responsible may be subject to a penalty of up to $10,000 and be ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs. To report a wildfire, call *5555 on your cellphone.

Stamkos, Bolts not worried headed into sixth game KELSEY PATTERSON

THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — The Tampa Bay Lightning aren’t losing their nerve just yet. Despite dropping their last two games to Montreal, captain Steven Stamkos and the Lightning say the pressure is still on the Canadiens. Tampa lost 2-1 to Montreal in Game 5 of its second-round playoff series on Saturday. After winning the first three games of the series, the Lightning’s lead has been reduced to 3-2. “There’s pressure for them knowing it could be the last game of the year,’’ said Stamkos of Game 6, which goes tonight in Tampa Bay. “We’re coming in to our home rink where we’ve played very well. We have to go prove that last home game we played was unacceptable and I believe we’ll do that. “Our fans deserve for us to win a game in front of them.’’ Down 1-0 on Saturday, Stamkos gave his team a lifeline at 9:27 of the third with his second goal of the series to tie the game. The Bolts’ captain jumped on a rebound in front of the net and beat Carey Price with a precise shot off the post and in. But with four minutes remaining on the clock, Montreal’s Pierre-Alexandre Parenteau fired a knuckler just over Ben Bishop’s shoulder for the winner. “We knew it wasn’t going to be easy,’’ said Bishop, who was screened by Matt Carle on Parenteau’s goal. “We knew these guys weren’t going to roll over. We didn’t play our best game.’’ The Lightning were outplayed for the majority of the contest even though the shot count — 29-25 in favour of Montreal — suggested the game was close. The Canadiens maintained prolonged bouts of pressure on Bishop’s net and Michel Therrien’s men hit four posts on the night. Tampa took five penalties during the game but the Habs couldn’t capitalize on three occasions with the extra attacker. “It took momentum away from us,’’ said head coach Jon Cooper of Montreal’s power plays.

No league of their own Kamloops Heat women’s squad left without competition after PCSL folds ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

pring and summer soccer might never be the same for women in Kamloops. The women’s division of the Pacific Coast Soccer League — a league that has been in existence for more than 30 years — won’t operate this season after failing to secure enough commitment from teams around the province. It’s a development that has left the Kamloops Heat

Teams just don’t want to travel — “cost of gas, cost of hotels. I’m not really that optimistic that a league will form ever again.

”

— HEAT HEAD COACH KELLY SHANTZ

without a home for the 2015 season and, very likely, the future. “I’d be really shocked, actually, if there was something that would rise from the ashes and phoenix out of this, especially for women,” said Heat head coach Kelly Shantz. “Teams just don’t want to travel — cost of gas, cost of hotels. “I’m not really optimistic

that a league will ever form again.” In a statement released by the PCSL, president Dave Collard said the league will continue to pursue premier women’s teams for the 2016 season. Shantz said the writing has been on the wall for the PCSL in recent years as, provincewide, teams have looked to cut back on costs.

When the Lower Mainland’s Metro Women’s Soccer League — normally exclusively a winter league — added a spring and summer division, it sounded the death knell for the PCSL. Women’s teams jumped ship in favour of a schedule based closer to home. “Over the last couple years, all the clubs have said, ‘Look, it’s a lot cheaper, we don’t have to travel, we can just play each other, we don’t have to go to Kamloops, we don’t have to go to Kelowna, we don’t have to go to Victoria, we don’t have to go to Nanaimo,’” Shantz said.

ADVICE & INFORMATION

Q: I’m afraid my family will not visit me as often if I move into a Retirement Community? A) If they are currently visiting you regularly in your home, why wouldn’t they continue to visit you in your new home even if it is at an RC. Your suite may be a bit smaller than what you are used to however, there are generally so many beautiful amenity spaces where everyone can gather to relax and visit. If you have out-of-town family that like to stay over you can furnish your suite with a hidea-bed or they can reserve a guest suite. Most RC’s have guest suites designed and furnished with all of the comforts of home. Your family can join you for meals and share in the fun at all of the activities within the community. Having your family visit you at an RC actually gives you more time to spend with them as you do not have to worry about cooking, cleaning or entertaining. You simply get to enjoy their company!

Exhibition schedule for Heat women From page A11

â€œThose of us outside of the Lower Mainland are left scrambling for a place to play in the spring and summer.â€? Without the PCSL, Shantz has instead cobbled together an exhibition schedule to keep the Heat playing this summer. Fellow PCSL orphans Penticton and Nanaimo, along with a few teams from Victoria and the Lower Mainland, will be among the competition. The Heat head coach said his team will play between 12 and 14 games, five of which will be in the Tournament Capital. Kamloops was at home to Penticton this past weekend, winning 1-0.

KELLY SHANTZ Shantz said he and his team are making the best of what can only be described as a frustrating situation. Though heâ€™s confident he has lined up enough good soccer for his club this summer, Shantz said an exhibition season lacks the excitement and drive that comes with jockeying in the standings, competing in scoring races and facing off in

the playoffs. On the menâ€™s side of the ball, PCSL soccer will continue this season. The Heat are part of a nine-team premier division and are 0-1-1 on the season thus far, having lost to the Mid Isle Mariners and played to a draw against Victoria Highlanders FC. The Heat men will be home to the Highlanders on May 30 and the Vancouver Thunderbirds on May 31. â€œIâ€™m going to have to be optimistic,â€? said Sean Wallace, coach of the Heat men, when asked about the health and future of the PCSL on the menâ€™s side. â€œI have to be positive and Iâ€™ll probably get more information when we end up going to

Vancouver and we end up playing against the Khalsa [Sporting Club] and the Vancouver Thunderbirds, talking to those coaches and seeing what their feelings are with the league going forward.â€? Wallace said he has heard rumours of other leagues starting up on the menâ€™s side, too â€” the Vancouver Metro Soccer League is believed to be trying to start a summer league and he has heard about the possibility of a Division 3 league starting nation-wide. But, for now, the PCSL is alive and well for the men. Wallace said the league has unequivocal value to players in the Tournament Capital and he hopes it can continue to give them somewhere to play.

â€œIâ€™m hopeful,â€? he said. â€œI played Pacific Coast League with a number of guys from Kamloops many years ago and I now have three kids on the team and most of the guys that are on the team I have either coached or am coaching. â€œItâ€™s something that I enjoy and as long as the guys want to come out and play then hopefully weâ€™ll have something there for them to do.â€?

Her Journey’s Just Begun Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun. Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away. And think of her as living, In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much. E. Brenneman

First Memorial Funeral Service 250-554-2429 July 1, 1932 - May 7, 2015 It is with great sadness that the family of Robert “Bob” Daley announce his passing at Royal Inland Hospital, May 7, 2015. Bob passed away peacefully with his family by his side after a long term illness. Bob was born in Noranda, Quebec on July 1, 1932 to parents Walter and Catherine. Bob was a devoted family man who built a career around mining, from Wells, to Pioneer, Stewart, Brittania Beach, Carolin Mine are just a few places of employment, before finally finishing off his career and his last 23 years of work at Teck-Highland Valley Copper in Logan Lake. The family has many great memories of camping all over BC at many different locations with Bob playing his guitar and singing songs. His renditions of the “The Auctioneers Song” and “My Delilah” were family favorites. Bob had a knack for story telling, and drawing on his many years in the mining industry, he would keep us entertained with many a tale at family dinners. He was also an avid fisherman and could often be found down at the lake setting up his ice fishing tent or out on his boat with a line in the water. Bob was predeceased by his parents, Walter & Catherine, sister’s Theresa, and Margeret and brother Bud. Left to cherish his memory are, his loving wife of 53 years, Linda; his daughter, Susan (Graeme) Ramsay of Kamloops, BC; his son, Michael (Helen) Daley of Edmonton, AB; his grandsons, Ryan (Gisella) Ramsay and Kale (Alicia) Ramsay of Kamloops, BC; his brother, Redmond (Dehlia) of Los Angeles, CA; sister Dorothy of Edmonton, AB., and Alice of Ottawa, ON. Bob was a very patient, gentle and caring man and we will be forever thankful for his guidance. Words cannot begin to express how much we will miss you dad.

Early in the morning on May 3, Heaven’s stars shone brighter. It was at that time that Peter Collins was ushered into the arms of the Lord with his parents and wife by his side. He passed peacefully after a long fight with cancer, in the Critical Care Unit of the Kelowna General Hospital. Born and raised in Kamloops, Peter became well-known in the arts community as a very talented singer and musician. After graduating in 1992 from Norkam Secondary, Peter briefly attended the University College of the Cariboo before entering the Music Program at the University of Victoria. It was there that he discovered his love of opera, which allowed him to pursue his dream of being a musician. Peter was thrilled to share the stage at his 1998 graduation with his brother, Morgan, who graduated that year as well with his BFA in Theatre. After UVIC, Peter had the opportunity to study Opera at the University of Toronto, where he was able to hone his incredible gift and powerful voice. Upon completion of his Masters’ degree, Peter became a member of the Ensemble Chorus for the Canadian Opera Company, where he remained for eight years. Peter started singing at a very young age, and although his tastes shifted from the heavy metal that he favoured in high school to the beautiful arias and operatic pieces that he became known for as an adult, music has been in his blood since birth. Peter was often seen with a guitar in his hand and a song in his heart. He took his love of music and turned it into a new career when he returned to Kamloops and became a music teacher and voice coach in 2008. Peter loved every one of his students, and he was honoured to be a part of their lives. In 2012, Peter’s life was changed forever when he met his soul-mate, Rochelle. The two had known each other briefly whilst performing together in the Kamloops Youth Choir, but it wasn’t until Peter began teaching voice to Rochelle’s daughter, Katjana, that the two fell in love. They were married at St. Paul’s Cathedral in 2013. Peter loved his wife more than anything in the world, and the day they got married, two of Peter’s life-long dreams were realized; he became not only a husband, but a father as well. Peter and Rochelle’s time together was all too short, but it was filled with more love and laughter than most people feel in a lifetime. Peter leaves his loving memories to be cherished by his wife Rochelle and step-daughter Katjana; his parents, Doug and Sue Collins; his brother Morgan (Robin) Collins; his sister Jenny (Keith) Edwards; his god-daughter, Ciara; his nieces Vada, Gracie, Dylan and River, and his nephew Shane. Peter’s legacy will live on forever in all of us, especially when we remember all of the wonderful things that Peter did, the way he filled our lives with love and joy, and the way that he touched every life that he encountered. We know that he is now flying free of sickness and pain, and hitting the high notes in Heaven’s choir. For that, we are thankful. A memorial service and celebration of Peter’s too-short life will take place on Saturday, May 16, 2015 at 2:00 pm, at St Paul’s Cathedral, 360 Nicola Street; followed by a reception at the Kamloops Masonic Hall, 351 Nicola Street. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations will be accepted to create a bursary in Peter’s name for the Kamloops Symphony Music School. The family would like to extend their gratitude to the Kelowna General Hospital’s Critical Care Unit for the outstanding care that Peter received, and for the kindness and support that was shown to his family during this difficult time.

I only have a picture now, A frozen piece of time, To remind me of how it was, When you were here, and mine. I see your smiling eyes, Each morning when I wake, I talk to you, and place a kiss, Upon your lovely face. How much I miss you being here, I really cannot say, The ache is deep inside my heart, And never goes away. I hear it mentioned often, That time will heal the pain, But if I’m being honest, I hope it will remian. I need to feel you constantly, To get me through the day, I loved you so very much, Why did you go away? The angels came and took you, That really wasn’t fair. If only they had asked me, If I would take your place, I would have done so willingly, Leaving you this world to grace. I hope you’re watching from above, At the daily tasks I do, And let there be no doubt at all, Mommy really loves you.

GARBAGE

aren Kopec-Repka’s husband calls her the Garbage Whisperer. Every day, she can be seen walking for at least an hour, and often longer, meandering through her North Shore neighbourhood making frequent stops — to pick up garbage. She’s been doing it for more than 20 years, filling between one and two bags most days — often using bags she also finds littering the area. When she started, it would make her angry to see all the garbage. “Now, I’m doing it for myself and for the planet. I’m just doing my part. I love where I live,” Kopec-Repka said. Her walks can take her past A.E. Perry elementary, down the Rivers Trail, over

SEND A KID TO

into McArthur Island and up past NorKam secondary. She used to spend a lot of time stooping and picking up items, but now uses a long-handled grabbing tool. Sometimes Kopec-Repka finds items that can be recycled or cleaned up and dropped off at the Salvation Army thrift store for resale. For example, the day KTW visited, in addition to the two bags waiting to go out with her own trash, there were a series of orange traffic-style cones, some pieces of metal, a grate, a skipping rope and a magnetic sign advertising Koby’s Landscaping. Just up the road from her house was a coal-spring foundation — just the metal insides, not the full mattress — at the side of the road. She said she’ll be calling the city to have it picked up. Kopec-Repka has gloves to deal with needles she comes across and is appalled at the number of drugs and small Ziploc bags she suspects once contained drugs,

along her walk. She does more than just pick up, though; the morning after four soccer teams held practices at the A.E. Perry schoolyard, Kopec-Repka called the local soccer association to let them know the grounds were littered with garbage she knows wasn’t all there the day before, since she had gone by and cleaned it up. The person she spoke with contacted the four teams — boys ages 13 and 14, she said — and was assured they’d be told to deal with it. She knows she’ll need plenty of bags during the annual Tim Hortons Roll Up the Rim campaign. While she credited the chain for all the good it does in Kamloops, when the promotion is running, her walk will be strewn with empty cups with the rims rolled up. Kopec-Repka has called the local franchiser to talk about it and was told the cups are biodegradable.

“I want to know in which lifetime they disintegrate,” she said. She knows it’s not the restaurant’s fault and is the result of people who think it’s just fine to throw out their cups, their slurpee containers and their straws. Kopec-Repka has a list of items she finds that are the most annoying — empty pudding cups, granola-bar wrappers, quick-lunch packages, “things that will never disintegrate.” The worst she’s found was a wad of toilet paper at one of the ballparks on McArthur Island. It had been used — and it wasn’t anywhere near a washroom. “I just wonder how people could treat our planet like that. It’s the simple little things. I don’t know where they’ve gone,” she said. “If everyone just picked up one piece of garbage or put their own in their pocket to throw out later, well, I just don’t understand why they can’t do that.”

Once in a while we have an opportunity to really make a difference in someone’s life, and the YMCA/YWCA’s “Send A Kid to Camp” program is certainly one of them!

GIVING A HOOT ABOUT THE BURROWING OWL

urrowing owls have disappeared over much of their historic range in North America. In B.C., the burrowing owl used to make its home in the southern grasslands of B.C., from the U.S. border north to Lac Du Bois in the Kamloops area. The last nesting colony of six owl pairs at the Vernon Commonage had a city waste-spray irrigation project and a hybrid cottonwood research forest established on its last grassland stronghold. Within a few years, nesting owls were completely gone from B.C. The burrowing owl is one of the smallest of owls and smallest grassland raptor. Some adults weigh as much as 250 grams in the fall. For their size, burrowing owls have a fierce countenance, certainly at least to their prey, which consist of rodents, insects, amphibians, small reptiles and small birds. They may be active at any time during a day and are vulnerable to predation from mammals and other raptors. Owl parents use burrows to nest in grassland colonies, laying from two to 12 eggs. The attrition rate of young can be high. But, how did we lose this little owl? Various reasons have been attributed to the loss and each are true. The burrowing owl is the only one known to live underground; however, they are

The provincial governmentâ€™s fish and wildlife branch and the Burrowing Owl Conservation Society are working to recover burrowing owls in the area.

unable to dig the burrows required for nesting and escape. They make use of deserted burrows, such as those excavated by marmots, ground squirrels, coyotes and badgers. These burrows are frequently in short supply, as are B.C. grasslands. About 95 per cent of those rare lands are also used by farmers and ranchers or have been converted to industrial or residential uses. All land uses are not necessarily a negative activity, although ranching in the past has not been neighbourly toward some of grassland burrowing species like the coyote, marmot and badger. Kamloops-area ranchers, such as Guichon, Haughton, Frolek and Deleeuw have co-operated to support owl recovery on their grasslands. In some cases, they directed livestock grazing to owl nesting areas to facilitate reduction in grass height, improving owl hunting success and reducing cover for predators. Another part of

the answer as to what happened to the owls includes manâ€™s successful efforts at fire suppression. Natural fire cycles maintained open grasslands, encouraging early successions of plants, nutrient recycling and numerous small prey. In turn, burrowing mammals were encouraged, and their abandoned burrows provided owls with nesting and escape locations. Providing suitably placed and maintained artificial burrows is felt to be a major key in replacing one of the missing elements for recovery. The agencies planning for owl recovery are the provincial governmentâ€™s fish and wildlife branch and the Burrowing Owl Conservation Society of BC. The reintroduction program began in the Kamloops area, from 1983 through 1986. The current program began in the Lac Du Bois area in 1991 and has since grown to nine other locations. Initially, owls for reintroduction

were obtained from the Ontario Owl Rehabilitation Centre but now adult birds for release at recovery sites in the Kamloops area are reared in and obtained from the BC Wildlife Park. Dave Low, an area fish and wildlife branch biologist, continued owl recovery efforts through retirement and was joined and assisted by members of the Kamloops and District Fish and Game Association. Low focuses on the La Du Bois site and 68 nesting burrows have been placed and maintained there. Other sites are managed by members of the Burrowing Owl Conservation Society. It takes two to three club members about two hours to install a nesting burrow from prepared components. Over many years, a workable design has developed using buried plastic nursery pots. Attached to them is a six- to eight-foot perforated drain pipe angled through the stony glacial tills to the surface, creating a burrow

entrance to the pots. The ground is armoured with large stones and the entrance area is cleared of brush and other predator cover for several feet around. Nest-box maintenance is ongoing throughout the year but is best in the spring, when burrows and entrance tunnels are cleaned, which is what is happening at this time. So far, one owl has returned to join the one that stayed all winter. In the next two weeks, more males will arrive, establishing territories followed by the females. The owls soon pair up, but not necessarily with a past acquaintance. While the female nests, the male supplies hunted food. Chicks are monitored and, if food supplies are low, their diet may be supplemented with captured mice or dead chicks from poultry farms. Before chicks are out on their own, they are caught, weighed, checked by a vet for

defects and banded for future identification. In October, most maturing owls leave for warmer coastal climates, but some owls may remain over winter using food stored in the burrows. If necessary, supplemental owl winter rations may be provided. Information concerning movements of burrowing owls has resulted from years of leg banding for identification. Leg banding has shown the little owl is mobile in travelling to southerly areas, where some choose to avoid harsh winter months. One banded bird traveled almost 300 kilometres in a night. Elsewhere, another flew from Arizona to southern Saskatchewan in two weeks. In the past two decades, migrating burrowing owls from the Nicola and Thompson valleys have been identified at Portland, San Francisco, San Jose, on the coast of Washington state at Port Lincoln lighthouse on the Olympic Peninsula and

numerous locations in the lower Fraser Valley. The Lac du Bois recovery site is proving to be outstanding. For their efforts, the club and, in particular, Dave Low, Bill Strom and Murray Jeffrey, were recently awarded the Roderick Haig Brown Conservation Award by the BC Wildlife Federation. Last year, 29 young were produced, bringing to 143 the number of birds for the last five years. Yet, comparing the numbers of juveniles produced, the number of owls returning in following years is very low. Some juvenile bird destinations are known, but where are the majority going? What is happening that so few birds return? Good questions. There is still work to be done.

performance have helped make Rogue a solid and smart used vehicle choice. It’s also typically priced a little lower than more established competitors from Honda or Toyota — another plus for prospective used Rogue buyers.

We join Rogue’s first-generation product life story in 2011 when it got a styling refresh inside and out and a new SV mid-range trim level was added to the model line. Rogue originally came in just S and SL trim levels.

The S and SV trims can come with front-drive or all-wheel drive and a top-line SL is strictly all-wheel drive. The newer SV trim adds (compared to an S trim) 17-inch alloy wheels, roof rails, privacy glass, a polished stainless steel exhaust tip, a backup monitor, dual vanity mirrors, a cargo cover, heated seats, a CD stereo with 4.3-inch colour display and a USB port. Power in all trim levels comes from an advanced large capacity 2.5 litre 4-cylinder double-overhead-camshaft engine with continuously variable valve control. See NISSAN, page B6

TOKYO — Toyota zoomed to a record 2.17 trillion yen ($18.1 billion) profit for the fiscal year through March, up 19 per cent from the previous year, buoyed by sales growth in the U.S. and a perk from the cheap yen. Toyota Motor Corp. President Akio Toyoda told reporters Friday the Japanese automaker appeared to be back on track for “sustainable growth,’’ although the coming year would be a critical test. Looking ahead, the company announced it’s expecting 3.5 per cent growth in profit to 2.25 trillion yen ($18.8 billion) for the fiscal year through March 2016. Since Toyoda, the grandson of the automaker’s founder, took the helm in 2009, Toyota has gone through hard times, getting embroiled in a massive recall scandal, mostly in the U.S. The scandal ballooned to millions of vehicles being recalled for a range of problems, including faulty brakes, sticky gas pedals and defective floor mats. “This year will be decisive in showing whether Toyota can head toward sustainable growth or we will be forced to turn backward,’’ he said, referring to the recall fiasco and the 2008 financial crisis. Annual sales grew 6 per cent to 27.23 trillion yen ($272 billion), although fewer vehicles were sold around the world. Cost cuts and a cheap yen helped. The maker of the Camry sedan and Prius hybrid has been the world’s topselling automaker for the last three years in the face of tough competition from Volkswagen AG of Germany and General Motors Co. of the U.S. See RECALLS, page B6

Monitor system. This clever parking aid can provide what looks like an overhead (bird’s eye) picture of the Rogue via four wide-angle cameras. Not much changed for a 2013 model year which carried over into 2014, until a secondgeneration Rogue got a mid-model-year introduction. Although the same length as the outgoing model, this new Rogue has a longer wheelbase and it’s taller. A larger interior also allowed an optional 3rd row of seats. The 2014 Rogue also provides even better fuel economy, primarily due to a new continuously variable automatic transmission.

Since the recalls surfaced, Toyoda announced an intentional halt to expansion such as opening new auto-assembly plants and instead focused on cost cuts, quality controls, personnel training and making more of existing plants. That three-year hiatus was lifted only recently. Last month, Toyota announced a new plant in Mexico, with eyes on the lucrative North American market, as well as a plant in China, where despite some bumps, long-term growth

DETROIT — Electric car maker Tesla Motors has made its first acquisition, adding a Michigan tool-and-die maker as it ramps up to build more models. Tesla says it purchased Riviera Tool LLC of Cascade Township. The company makes tools that stamp out metal parts. The price was not disclosed. Tesla says the purchase will help it increase production as it introduces more models. Riviera can help with building of new plastic parts and new metal-forming development, a spokeswoman said.

Kelley Blue Book analyst Karl Brauer says he expects more acquisitions by Tesla. Currently the Palo Alto, California-based Tesla sells only the Model S sedan, but it plans to start selling the Model X SUV by the end of September. A $35,000 car is coming in late 2017. Tesla is predicting that it will sell 55,000 vehicles this year. Under a law passed last year, Tesla can’t sell cars in Michigan. The law requires automakers to sell cars through franchised dealers and Tesla sells cars directly and not through dealers. — The Associated Press

Rogue’s rear independent multi-link suspension is also interesting. In addition to offering a better ride than a conventional strut type suspension it’s a more compact design, which allows more rear cargo space inside a Rogue. Changes for 2012 included a new sport mode that gives the transmission a more aggressive shift pattern, at the push of a button. The SL trim also received Nissan’s superb Around-View-

potential remains great. Before the scandal, Toyota boasted a reputation for meticulous quality, super-lean production and a management that empowered workers. But it acknowledged that it had grown too fast. After the scandal, Toyota unveiled TNGA, or Toyota New Global Architecture, which streamlines product development to avoid overlap and encourages shared technology and parts, to reduce waste while being able to adapt to different markets and kinds of buyers. The first products under the architecture will roll out later this year, theoretically boosting profitability. Over the years, Toyota models have been seen as reliable and delivering good mileage, but they have also been seen as bland and unfashionable. Toyoda is trying to change that, emphasizing the need to chisel out a reputation for glamor and luxury that some European and American rivals already have, but has remained elusive for Toyota. For the January-March quarter, Toyota reported a 446.4 billion yen ($3.7 billion) profit, up 50 per cent from a year earlier. Last year, Toyota claimed an auto industry milestone by selling more than 10 million vehicles in a year, at 10.23 million vehicles.

ut the right plant in the right spot. After mastering the basics of soil — a healthy home for plants — you can think about what you want to put where. Select a variety of plants and ensure the right plant for the right site. Doing so provides an advantage over pest problems. Consider the following factors: • Water requirements: There are many beautiful trees, shrubs and flowers with low water

requirements (see creating a Kamloops Xeriscape brochure at kamloops.ca/ ipm/pdfs/Brochure-CreateXeriscape. pdf). If you choose plants with higher water requirements, group them together so you can water your yard more efficiently. • Cold hardiness: Most plants are given a hardiness rating according to temperature zones, with Zone 1 being coldest to Zone 10 being the mildest. The Kamloops climate ranges between Zone 3 at its highest levels to Zone 6 at the valley

bottom. See a map of the Kamloops plant hardiness zones at kamloops.ca/ ipm/pdfs/PlantHardinessZones.pdf. Within these zones, there are areas known as micro-climates, where the climate is affected by the surrounding area. Hedges, walls and fencing may offer protection that can alter growing conditions. • Exposure: Whether an area is sunny or shady, windy or protected, exposure will determine what plants will flourish where.

• Landscape value: Try to plan for year-round interest and enjoyment by considering more than just flowers. Think about colour and texture of leaves, bark and fruit, along with overall branching and shape of various plants. • Maintenance: Plants vary greatly in the amount of care required to keep them looking attractive. Select plants that realistically meet your gardening time constraints. — City of Kamloops, kamloops.ca

Everything Landscaping The 2015 landscape and gardening season is off to one of the earliest starts I have seen in years. You could feel the change at end of February and beginning of March. Warmer temperatures and little precipitation led to starting up sprinkler systems earlier than ever. So far, this is the year of landscape renovations. People have been excited to get their properties into shape early in the season and it has people spending considerable time discussing and working on their landscapes. Water conservation is also playing more of a role in people’s decisions on how and what to landscape, in the front yard in particular.

It is very exciting to see people pay more attention to their front yards. Front yards are becoming very low maintenance or completely xeriscaped. Low-maintenance landscaping can still be lush and green depending on the look and feel you would like to see when you arrive home each day. Drip-water systems target the base of plants and trees only to help prevent weeds from getting any extra life the hose has to offer. More commercialstyle weed barriers help prevent weed growth from below. Choose a shale or rock dress instead of bark mulch, which needs to be renewed each year. Spending on front

yards is dedicated to higher quality, longer lasting materials. Backyards are now being transformed into outdoor rooms and places to entertain. “Staycation” is still a very popular word in the green industry. I’ve heard of more barbecues and backyard get-togethers, it seems. People are just entertaining more at home, enjoying their space. Larger hard-

scaped areas with built-in barbecues and outdoor gas fireplaces with landscape lighting are all on the menu, not to mention a water feature of some sort to bring in the sound of mother nature. Put all of this together and have landscape lighting come on automatically. Who wouldn’t want to spend more time outside? — Colin Lyons

“I don’t drink until after 6pm.”

What is xeriscaping? We all love beautiful surroundings. Xeriscaping is a method of gardening that doesn’t sacrifice beauty to conserve water. In fact, if a landscape isn’t attractive, then it isn’t a xeriscape. The principles of xeriscaping can be applied to any landscape style and can be as plain or elaborate as desired.

Kamloops summers are hot and dry and our winters can be cold. We receive about 21.8 cm (8.5 inches) of rainfall per year. Kelowna receives 29.8 cm (11 inches), while Vancouver receives 155.5 cm (45.5 inches). So, plants that are considered xersicape elsewhere may not be suitable here.

Reasons to Xeriscape

Are You Ready?

- Your Yard

Xeriscaping in Kamloops

The average Canadian uses 326 litres of water per day. The average Kamloops resident uses about 800 to 850 litres of water per day. In the summer, that number rises to 1,800 litres of water per person, per day. Eighty per cent of the water consumed in the summer is used outdoors to water grass, hose driveways and to wash vehicles. In addition to using less water, a xeriscape garden requires less weeding, fertilizing, pruning, mowing and pesticides.

By Xeriscaping our individual landscapes, we use water more responsibly. Even if you are not ready to do a complete makeover, becoming more knowledgeable and aware of your existing landscape is a start. Here are two simple steps that will make a difference: Alter your irrigation to match your plants’ actual water requirements and make adjustments to minimize overspray onto hard surfaces. — City of Kamloops, kamloops.ca

Tips for outdoor entertaining Spring and summer are the seasons to dust off the welcome mat and throw open your doors to friends and family. Whether you are throwing a big backyard blowout for all your family and friends or an intimate gathering of those closest to you, as the host you want to establish an atmosphere that keeps everyone feeling at home and free to help themselves. The most important thing is to be prepared. Staying on top of your guest list prior to the event keeps you in control and allows you to plan based on the number of guests. Here are some helpful tips that will have everyone giving a toast to the host: â€˘ Set the stage: There are many variables to consider when preparing the setting. If your event is starting during the day make sure your backyard is equipped with shaded areas. Pop-up canopies and patio umbrellas come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They can be used to keep food out of the sun and offer guests protection from an unexpected rain shower. Also make sure to have plenty of sunscreen on hand for guests. As your party transitions to the evening there are some new considerations. Outdoor string lights and patio lights can really establish an intimate ambience and have your guests feeling comfortable. Insect control is another issue that needs attention. Citronella candles, tiki lamps and mosquito coils are all cost effective ways to keep bugs off your guests. â€˘ Utilize your grill: A reliable, multi-fac-

eted grill such as a Broil King allows you to cater to your guests by preparing traditional barbecue classics for large events, as well as mouth-watering speciality foods for more intimate gatherings. Equipping your grill with performance accessories can alleviate much of the pressure of grilling for your guests. When hosting an outdoor dinner party with fewer guests, the focus is on preparing more elaborate dishes such as ribs. The Broil King rib roaster retains heat and moisture, cooking ribs completely in under an hour. An internal roasting rack keeps ribs elevated, allowing them to steam in their juices. With the right grill and accessories you are able to prepare your entire meal outdoors, allowing you to stay with your guests and keep the party going. When hosting a large crowd there are a few options that allow your guests to grab at their leisure. Skewers are a great choice for grill masters looking to combine taste and convenience. Broil Kingâ€™s stainless steel kebab rack with heat shield holds up to 25 skewers at a time. When we are talking large outdoor gatherings, you donâ€™t always think pizza party. However, Broil Kingâ€™s stone grill set allows you to prepare pizza on the grill while guests gather around in anticipation. Remember, the key to preparing a good pizza on the grill is heat.

MATH MINDBENDER ANOTHER ALPHABET SPLIT

The letters of the alphabet have been divided into four sets. Each letter is in only one set. Determine the membership rule for each set. 1. (C, I, J, O,V) 2. (B, D, F, G, H, K, L, M, N, P, Q, T, U, W) 3. (E, R) 4. (A, S, X,Y, Z) This puzzle is based on the form of capital letters. It is possible to argue the sets should be a bit different. If you come up with an alternative split that is close, if you explain the differences clearly, it will be counted as correct.

The answer to this math quiz will be printed in this space one week from today. A prize will be awarded via a random draw among correct entries. Send your answer to editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Deadline is 4 p.m. on Friday, May 15th ANSWER TO LAST WEEKâ€™S MAGIC WORD QUIZ:

Take the names of the states of the United States of America. Sort them alphabetically in ascending order. For each state, take its two-letter abbreviation in the same order: Alabama (AL), Alaska (AK), Arizona (AZ), Arkansas (AR), California (CA), and on. ALAKAZARCA!
