FOOD FOR THOUGHT

A THREEPART SERIES JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Wayne Zeiter is a regular user of the Kamloops Food Bank.

I already have a problem.

Looking at the month and calculating my new income — $823.79 per pay period — I am deciding not if, but how, I will put myself into debt with my credit card.

My April 1 bills include rent and car insurance and I can’t cover them with my income. I will pay the insurance with my credit card and pay it off with my next cheque, mid-month.

It is a slippery slope, but one that leaves me with a bit of cash for the next two weeks. I’m lucky I have good credit.

Heading into my first weekend, I’m already looking hard at social commitments and my privileged lifestyle — it’s going to be a long April while receiving hampers from the Kamloops Food Bank.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

THE PREMISE

For this month-long project, I am hypothetically laid off from my job. I am using a rough estimate — 55 per cent of previous earnings — to calculate an employment-insurance cheque, on which I will live for a month while using the Kamloops Food Bank.

For the project, I am also hypothetically paying for a low-end rental unit I found advertised at $700 monthly.

Located on Battle Street, the property is close to a bus stop should problems arise with my vehicle, which has been acting up. I won’t be able to afford repairs unless I’m willing to rack up my credit card.

I will go to the food bank for a month on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 9 a.m. and noon — the days set aside for singles — use the non-profit services and keep a diary of my experiences.

I am allowed a non-perishable hamper once a month and bread, produce and dairy through the rest of the month.

I will volunteer for the biannual Rotary Food Drive on April 25 and follow with a mini food drive once the project is complete, to compensate for what I have used.

WHY DO THIS?

With 65,000 pounds of food lasting about three months at the Kamloops Food Bank, it’s safe to say it is a well-utilized organization in our community and has been that way for many years. Kamloops This Week covers the organization regularly, but has yet to experience it like those who use it. This project will provide a snapshot of experiencing its reality, for those who rely on it and those who keep it running.

This three-part series will run in each paper this week, with extended coverage — complete diary entries kept the entire month — posted online later at kamloopsthisweek.com. To comment, email editor@kamloopsthisweek.com. Drop off donations to the Kamloops Food Bank to 1365B Dalhousie Dr.

The Thompson-Nicola Regional District’s board of directors will decide later this month whether to lend its support to the proposed twinning of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain Pipeline.

Sun Peaks Mayor Al Raine said he plans to ask the board to vote on a motion of support for the project at its May 28 meeting.

“My motivation is, really, as I said — I’m looking at it and saying, in the foreseeable future, petroleum products are going to be brought through the corridor,” Raine told KTW. “I think we have a responsibility to express an opinion on what is the safest and most appropriate way to do it.”

In Raine’s mind, that’s the twinning of the pipeline.

It was in Dallas recently that Raine noticed at least 50 per cent of rail cars passing were oil tankers.

“It’s happening whether we like it or not,” Raine said of petroleum transport through the corridor.

“For transporting it through the TNRD, the pipeline makes sense.”

For the Sun Peaks mayor, rail is a concerning method of transportation.

After disasters like that which occurred last year in LacMégantic, Que., Raine said it’s obvious transportation by rail and truck comes with risks.

The Trans Mountain pipeline has already been operating across the province for 60 years, Raine said, with minimal problems.

Kinder Morgan made a presentation to the TNRD board almost two months ago, after which many of the district’s communities signed benefit agreements with the energy-infrastructure company.

Sun Peaks was not one of those communities, which is why Raine is taking it upon himself to broach the issue for the district. He is not bringing forward the motion on behalf of his council, but in the interests of the region in general.

“I felt I’m in a good position to bring this forward, completely unbiased, because we’re not a benefitting community,” he said.

Raine expects there to be

A rancher program for the birds CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The B.C. Cattlemen’s Association has a call out for ranchers to participate in a program to help conserve two threatened bird species in the Interior.

A federal fund designed to protect species at risk

awarded $120,000 to the Kamloops-based association for a two-year project.

Association manager Kevin Boon said the group put out a call for participants in the program aimed at improving habitat on private lands for the yellow-breasted chat and Lewis’s woodpecker.

healthy debate on the issue.

While he hopes the future is of a world less dependant on burning fossil fuels, he said that’s not what’s at debate here.

The issue today concerns the safest way to move the product.

“It’s going to impact our communities and environment if the wrong decision is made,” Raine said.

TNRD Area P director Mel Rothenburger told KTW he will be recusing himself from the discussion and vote regarding the pipeline, due to a conflict of interest.

Rothenburger is in discussions with Kinder Morgan as the proposed pipeline would go through his property.

He, therefore, has a direct financial investment in the issue.

During his election campaign for Area P, Rothenburger told KTW Kinder Morgan “should ante up for a major contribution toward the cost of a $1.3-million upgrade to TNRD’s Black Pines water system.”

On Feb. 26, Black Pines received $150,000 from Kinder Morgan for drinking-water infrastructure.

Both species are redlisted in B.C. as a threatened species.

Boon said ranchers chosen for the project will work with a contracted range-management specialist.

The effort will typically include fencing to exclude cattle from some areas, for example, to changing grazing rotation on certain lands.

All the work will be on private lands.

“We want to protect the bird without it being a significant cost to the rancher,” Boon said.

Retired habitat biologist and local bird specialist Rick Howie said

the yellow-breasted chat is restricted to the south Okanagan, while Lewis’s woodpecker can be seen in the Kamloops area.

“They’re [Lewis’s woodpecker] in the Kootenays up to Okanagan Valley, Kamloops and Lytton,” Howie said. “They’re not uncommon here, but are decreasing in number.

They’re definitely a concern.”

Howie said Lewis’s woodpecker can typically be seen in cottonwood riparian areas and isolated pine snags. Areas include Tranquille Creek drainage and North Thompson Valley.

Inmate sues after beating in KRCC TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops drug enforcer wants the provincial government to fork over $25,000 for injuries he suffered behind bars, allegedly at the hands of rival gangsters.

Trevor Taylor has filed a notice of claim in small claims court, alleging Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre (KRCC) staff were acting “maliciously” two years ago when they placed him in a unit with United Nations gang members.

Taylor, a 30-year-old who has been linked to the Independent Soldiers street gang, claims to have told KRCC officials about his concerns when he was first booked into the prison on April 1, 2013.

“During the course of the intake interview, the plaintiff stated that he feared he would be the target of gangrelated violence at KRCC from inmates who were members or associates of the United Nations gang,” the notice of claim reads.

Taylor claims to have been placed in

protective custody for four days before being moved into a general-population cellblock.

There, the claim reads, he was forced to fight another inmate in a “gladiator-type fashion” to avoid being assaulted himself.

For his part in the fight, Taylor claims, he was given five days of segregation.

On May 8, 2013, Taylor claims, he was transferred to another generalpopulation unit, living unit C. “At that time, there were several known associates of the UN gang housed on living unit C,” the claim reads.

Four days later, Taylor claims, he was attacked by three inmates and knocked unconscious. He later received treatment for broken ribs, head and face lacerations, back pain and “emotional and psychological trauma.”

“The defendant [the province], through the actions of its employees, servants or agents, knowingly and maliciously placed the plaintiff onto a living unit in which it was highly prob-

able he would be the target of gangrelated violence,” the claim reads.

Later that year, after a brief stint on the outside, Taylor was booked back into KRCC on charges of robbery, extortion and the use of an imitation firearm.

Because of his previous history, Taylor claims, he was placed in administrative segregation — locked up 23 hours a day — for five months.

Taylor claims that prolonged stay in segregation caused him to suffer insomnia and stress, depression and anxiety.

Taylor was later found not guilty of the extortion, robbery and imitation firearms charges. However, he has a lengthy criminal record, including convictions for drug trafficking, uttering threats and obstructing justice.

He was one of two men convicted in relation with a drug-related shooting in downtown Kamloops in 2011.

Taylor is facing outstanding charges from the Lower Mainland stemming from a shooting last June in Burnaby.

None of the allegations in his notice of claim have been proven in court.

The 48th annual May Meet skydiving event at Kamloops Airport was marred by two accidents, one that sent a Victoria woman to hospital with serious injuries.

The woman was skydiving at about 1:15 p.m. on Saturday when she apparently made a low turn near the ground and went into a freefall for the final 50 feet.

Paramedics and firefighters tended to her and she was last reported to be in stable condition in Royal Inland Hospital.

A day earlier, on Friday, a male skydiver suffered minor injuries when he crashed into a fence and then into a house when attempting a landing.

Brocklehurst resident Darren Crawford tweeted about the mishap: “Who says skydiving is safe? Skydiver just crashed through my fence and into my house!

They were very nice about the whole thing . . . just amazing . . . one in a million accident!”

The annual skydiving meet was hosted by the Kamloops Skydivers Sport and Parachute Club.

Brocklehurst resident Darren Crawford posted this photo on Twitter of the damage to his fence after a skydiver crashed into his property on Friday.

can be rolled out as other work takes place along the roadway, including the proposed expansion of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline and upgrades to the city’s sewer system planned over the next decade.

“Everything seems to be aligning for this project,” Puhallo said.

Closest to the airport, the plan calls for a reconstruction of the road, burying power and communication lines up to Crestline Street, the addition of trees and flower beds and construction of a roundabout with a gateway feature.

With power poles no longer obstructing

A $7.4-million plan to beautify the route from Kamloops Airport can mostly be done without requiring new tax dollars — if the city is willing to put off some improvements to other paths and roads.

City council has taken a look at the final report from a beautification task force struck last year to come up with ways to spruce up the North Shore entrance to the city.

North Shore Business Improvement Association general manager Stephen Puhallo, who led the task force, told council the five-phase plan

views of the airport and hills beyond, director of development services Marvin Kwiatkowski said, the city would build a “park area where you can come in and you can park and you can view the aircraft and have a picnic with your family or special one.”

The Fulton Field Viewing Park would be located at the bend in the road closest to the airport.

All five phases of the plan include a sidewalk on the north side of the road and a multi-use pathway to the south.

Kwiatkowsi said the task force opted to go with a path attached

St. Ann’s Academy is opening a day care and preschool programs.

The day care, which has space for 20 children, is expected to open next month and will be available year-round on weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

The preschool program, which will have space for 18 children, is scheduled to open in September and run from 8:45 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. during the school year.

Both are designed for children between the ages of two-and-a-half and five.

A before- and after-school program for children ages five to 12 is already running at the school.

It operates between 7 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. and between 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. during the school year and from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. during summer months.

Applications for the new day care and preschool program are being accepted at the school.

said, the city can draw on about $6.6 million from its existing budgets for roads, pedestrian and cycling improvements and other internal funds.

That would require delaying some other projects the city might have tackled during that time, a conversation Kwiatkowski said staff have not yet begun.

Coun. Marg Spina praised the plan, which replaces an earlier $24-million proposal for the area.

“We’ve gone from filet mignon down to hamburger — and I like that,” she said.

“It shows immense respect to the taxpayer.”

to the side of the road and separated by a post barrier to cut down on costs.

While the city can move power poles lining the roadway back within its right of way to make room for an attached path, separating the pedestrian lane would require so much space the lines would have to be buried.

While the expense is seen as worthwhile by the airport, doing so over the entire two-kilometre stretch of the project would add millions to the cost of the project, Kwiatkowski said.

“It’s big dollars,” he said.

What's on Sagebrush course awaits rezoning at TRU? MUCHLAUDED GOLF TRACK HOPES TO BE TEEING OFF SOON

ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Sagebrush Golf and Sporting Club may yet see action this season.

A zoning amendment bylaw has passed its third reading at the Thompson-Nicola Regional District, moving the Quilchena course one step closer to reopening for play this season.

The bylaw will likely be back at TNRD for approval at the board’s next meeting — May 28 — at which point work can begin at the exclusive golf course outside of Merritt.

The rezoning will apply to the course’s bed-and-breakfast style cottages, which were originally zoned as residential buildings. The TNRD determined they should have been zoned as commercial facilities.

Without the proper zoning, the club has been unable to rent out the facilities and has not opened for play in 2015.

Once the bylaw has been approved by TNRD, the club will be able to take out building permits for the work needed to bring the buildings into compliance with the commercial building code.

The three buildings, which will provide accommodation for 24 visitors, will allow golfers to visit the Quilchena course for overnight stays, opening a new

market with which the club hopes to raise revenues.

Sagebrush president Bob Garnett said the extent of the work needed won’t be known until the rezoning has been approved.

Once the work on the facilities is underway, work will begin in earnest on the course, too.

Garnett said the club has continued to maintain Sagebrush throughout its closure, in hopes of opening later this season.

“It will take three or four weeks to get it fully ready,” Garnett said.

“But, it will take at least that long to get the rest of the work ready anyway.”

Sagebrush Golf and Sporting Club will likely open under a new ownership group. The current owners — Four for Fore Investments Ltd. — have been pursuing a sale.

Garnett said a sale agreement is close, but added the purchasers are waiting for the work to be finished and the rezoning to be approved by the TNRD before finalizing the transaction.

He declined to name the prospective owners.

Last September, Langley-based Newmark Group was expected to become the new owner of the course, but that deal never closed.

Four for Fore consists of the four original

Last year, Zokol filed a lawsuit against course owners for what he alleged are unpaid design fees, while the ownership quartet filed a counter-suit regarding some of the $42 million it has spent on Sagebrush.

In court filings last year, Sagebrush said it was losing up to $125,000 per month.

Under the new leadership, a clubhouse will be added and other finishing touches addressed, changes Garnett said the current owners aren’t able to make.

“That has been our big issue,” Garnett said. “We haven’t had

the clubhouse and been able to attract the broad group of people necessary to bring the course to the break-even point.”

The food-service facilities at the course will also need to be approved by the Interior Health Authority, though Garnett said the IHA has been on site and he doesn’t anticipate any major issues.

KTW’S JESSICA WALLACE AND HER MONTH AS A FOODBANK CLIENT APRIL 2, 2015: 12:43 p.m.: A dispenser holds the ticket to reserve a spot in line, but the place is empty. One man moseys down the hall, where it all happens.

It’s my turn.

A woman behind the counter asks for ID and I fumble in my wallet before answering several questions: marital status, rent or own and education.

Other questions follow: Am I a student? Do I drive or take the bus? Any dietary restrictions?

I say none, despite being vegetarian, and I am honest about everything else, but my employment status.

She explains how the Kamloops Food Bank works, though I quickly forget.

At the next counter, I can choose ham, chicken or some other meat. I skip it, but feel bad for refusing free food. I am handed a large white bag with a giant ’S’ for ‘single’ written on it in black marker.

It’s heavy and is my only non-perishable hamper this month.

I am confused about where to go and what to get, but volunteers and another client help as I move to the next area down the counter.

I’m all out of sorts — shy, nervous, confused, out of my element.

Next, baskets contain various non-essentials and we can choose two. It is like a scavenger hunt for the good ones — condiments and such. I take cans of hazelnut coffee and coconut milk. I can make coconut curry with whatever I get.

Down the counter is a bag of frozen carrots and another bag for perishable items, which are organized on shelves at the end.

Not much left, a worker says.

The lettuce is limp — it looks like lettuce I’d normally throw out — but I grab some anyway.

Radishes are slimy and I skip them.

I choose an apple, eggplant, zucchini and cucumber, along with a couple of root vegetables I don’t recognize, and put them in my bag.

Lots of bread lines the front wall and I wonder how much each person can take because, in the parking lot, I noticed someone with several bags of buns. I grab one buckwheat loaf and the best before-date is today, packed on March 29.

It looks fine, but it is hard. I will freeze it.

Extra items for Easter include a stack of gold Lindor box, but I skip them.

I walk outside and spot several shiny chocolate wrappers in the parking lot.

I have a pit in my stomach — and it is not from hunger.

APRIL 3, 2015: MORNING: Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the bread.

It is better than I would buy.

APRIL 5, 2015: MORNING: I am willing to blow nearly 16 per cent of my budget at Milestones where I send back cold potatoes.

I don’t remember the last time I did that.

I decline Easter dinner and, instead, buy groceries: onions, garlic, rice, chickpeas, beans and bananas.

A two-pound bag of brown rice costs nearly the same as five pounds of white rice, but I choose less

of the healthier food.

Groceries are $14.95.

Back home, I cook rice and sauté onion, garlic and curry powder with eggplant, frozen carrots and coconut milk from the food bank along with frozen peas and a can of chickpeas.

It looks gross, but tastes OK. It lacks spices.

It is enough for dinner and three more meals.

APRIL 7, 2015: NOON: I wait with my No. 57 ticket for the lights to change to No. 56, then me.

Several clients are seated, while two speak to the woman —same as last week — behind the counter.

The man has no identification and is told how to get it for next time.

She allows the hamper, despite the rules.

Someone mentions sunshine peeking through the window. I chime in and draw attention in a room tense with silence.

I recognize someone from last week and note 12 people using the services, a “rush at the end,” a worker says.

A woman walks in with a girl who looks to be between two and four years old. The girl is wearing a colourful poncho and brings energy to the room, smiling as the woman instructs her mom to grab the ticket from the dispenser.

The two join the busy seated waiting area and break the room’s silence, making it less uncomfortable, temporarily.

The woman behind the counter asks if they are family.

Yes. There is not enough for them today.

The woman gets up and walks toward the front desk, asking for diapers. Again, she is denied.

I am overcome, staring at the ground, my heart racing, fighting every urge to offer my spot.

Nobody says anything and the family — mom and daughter — walks out.

I get: Soy milk and crackers.

Handful of granola bars.

King-sized package of Halloween-sized orange Kit Kat chocolate bars.

Small bag of Lindor chocolates.

Three carrots, three parsnips and two zucchini.

Pack of sesame seed bagels.

Roll of toilet paper.

APRIL 8, 2015: 9:48 A.M.: New reality: carbs are substituting fresh vegetables.

5:45 p.m.: I forget my water bottle and it lands me at a gas station before soccer practice.

I stare at the refrigerated drink section, frustrated for wasting money.

About $1.50 is the cheapest option.

I can’t bring myself to buy the basic essential after pinching pennies for nine days, so I buy Gatorade at more than double the cost to make the point to myself: I’m not spending on something that comes from the tap.

At the register, the clerk says they are two for $4.

I have $3.50.

I shake my head and leave with one Gatorade.

He is wearing a yellow helmet, jean jacket, jean pants and aviator-style sunglasses without rims.

His grey beard and dark shoulder-length hair is stringy and unkempt, squished in enough directions to confuse a compass, courtesy the straps of his helmet.

I recognize him from other times I’ve gone to the food bank and ask, “Is there anything good today?”

Lots of sweets, he says, noting the produce is getting better now that winter has passed.

I thank him and go inside to pick up my items.

Today: four containers of Crystal Light, canned pumpkin puree, chilli mix, a head of lettuce — much better than the last one — three more carrots and a pack

of small raisin bran muffins.

The man is still outside.

“It was good in there today,” I tell him. “I got some muffins.”

He opens up.

He tells me stories of his past, driving cab for eight years in the Kootenays, what he calls the “Wild West.”

He once went back for someone passed out in the cold.

He talks of his band, how he appreciates 1970s rock and roll to today’s music and about growing up in east Vancouver before moving to Kamloops.

He says he has been relying on the food bank for about three years.

He bikes from “across town” to Wilson Street every Tuesday and Thursday and puts his hamper in his backpack.

He goes late to skip the lines.

The downfall of the system is limited meat, he says, especially since he needs to gain weight.

He is thin.

He says he needs surgery to fix his carpal tunnel and was told he can’t get it until he puts on some pounds.

He told that to the folks at the food bank and they have been accommodating, he says.

That surgery would help him play guitar more.

He would have to figure out a way to carry the instrument on his bike, but — well, he has plans for that, too.

He did his taxes for the first time in eight years and is expecting a return.

He wants to trade in his boat and upgrade his bicycle to a motorcycle.

That would help get his guitar around if he got his hand fixed.

It would also allow him to play music more often.

He’s got plenty of stories and plans and he’s more than willing to share both with a perfect stranger who asked about the fare at the food bank.

He doesn’t ask much of me — except an ear.

I look forward to seeing him again.

I grab a muffin to eat in my car and it’s the first time I feel joy after leaving the food bank.

“By the end of the year, 1-million pounds is salvaged from not going into the landfill,” said Wesley Graham, operations manager at the Kamloops Food Bank.

Donations are inconsistent from place to place — Nature’s Fare, for example, calls when they have something to give while bigger stores like Superstore and Save-On Foods have multiple pre-planned pickups a day.

Graham calls it a balancing act.

“Right now, it’s so rationed,” he said.

“You can’t go, we have eight skids of soup and give it out.”

July and August, for example are months when donations are slim.

“It’s a 12-month picture,” Graham said.

MUCH FOOD FOR THOUGHT

I

n today’s edition of KTW is the first of our three-part series on the Kamloops Food Bank.

Kamloops This Week has long reported on the food bank — its duty in the city, its growth as more residents depend on it to make it through another month and the myriad organizations in Kamloops that go above and beyond to keep the food bank alive so it can continue doing its crucial work.

We have spoken to its executive directors and its staff and we have talked to those who use the service on a regular basis.

But, we had never approached a story as a client of the food bank.

The idea was to focus on the food bank while trying to convey — as best we could — the steps a client navigates while registering and, later, while receiving hampers.

We decided to commit to the idea and reporter Jessica Wallace was tasked with living for one month on a fixed income, tied to a tight budget and using the food bank to supplement her grocery list.

Through the month of April, Wallace stuck to the plan and kept a detailed diary of her time spent at the food bank, the food she received and meals she managed to make from it and the people she met (food bank employees and volunteers and clients alike).

In addition, Wallace spent a full day volunteering at the Rotary Food Drive.

The series is in no way an attempt to replicate, even for a month, the life of a person who needs to food bank to get by.

The goal, however, was an attempt to capture, as best we could, what a new user might expect to experience when walking into the food bank for the first time and living for a month with the help of the hampers offered.

It was an eye-opening experience for Wallace and for those who edited and placed her stories on these pages. We hope our readership will also come away with new thoughts on our Kamloops Food Bank.

Orange tsunami coming?

A

lbertans have always laughed about their longstanding reputation as a reckless, immature society.

The classic bumper sticker, now available as a T-shirt or coffee cup in several variations, states: “Please God, give us one more oil boom. We promise not to p--- it away this time.”

Now they’ve thrown out the government that finally tried to stop blowing money like a roughneck fresh out of the bush.

Jim Prentice had the gall to propose raising income taxes for high wage earners, doing away with former Alberta treasurer Stockwell Day’s signature flat tax.

In response, voters have abruptly replaced the 44-year Progressive Conservative dynasty with an upstart NDP that wants to tax the rich and corporations even more. Facing an oil slump, layoffs and a huge structural deficit in Alberta’s lavish public service, NDP premierelect Rachel Notley is committed to a 50-per-cent increase in the minimum wage and another review of resource royalties.

One headline in a national paper summed it up: “Go home, Alberta. You’re drunk.”

In the sober days after the election, a few truths emerge.

Alberta hasn’t been a fiscally conservative, small-government place for a long time. Among other things, it has ratcheted up teacher and nurse wages across the country.

Alberta is broke, again, and even the NDP is afraid to resort to a sales tax.

TOM FLETCHER

Our Man In

VICTORIA The minimum-wage hike is a pet policy of Canada’s labour federations, which somehow remain convinced poverty can be eliminated by state order.

On the positive side, Notley has promised to end corporate and union donations to political parties, as has already been done federally. B.C. should be next, but the gravy train of business donations is too tempting for our nominally Liberal government.

At the B.C. legislature, an NDP staffer passed out cans of Orange Crush to celebrate.

NDP Leader John Horgan pronounced himself “ecstatic” and hastened to assure reporters Notley is “as competent as she sounds.”

Notley now has to sort through a caucus that includes typical NDP place-holders, college students and union staff running in faint-hope constituencies.

Soon after the result, the party pulled down its website platform and candidate biographies as Notley began phoning

energy companies to reassure them Alberta will be “A-OK” on her watch.

Horgan likes to describe the “capital flight” from new NDP governments as if it’s just a show put on by big business.

Plummeting stock prices and relocation of corporate offices are all staged, according to the party line, nothing to do with actual investment conditions created by NDP policies. This fiction is all Horgan dares to say publicly because it’s what his party base devoutly believes.

Besides, they’re only branch offices of multinational oil companies like Shell, Horgan said.

He used his favourite Tommy Douglas quote, about the bad news of a big oil company leaving. “The good news is, the oil is staying here.”

B.C.’s natural gas might be staying here too. Horgan insists he supports a natural gas export industry, but his party seems more concerned with an ascending Green party and an urban base that believes you can run a resource economy on windmills and solar panels.

Notley supports twinning the TransMountain pipeline, while Horgan continues to insist he has no opinion on the project Adrian Dix so memorably opposed.

The Alberta NDP has a steep learning curve ahead. The B.C. NDP has a couple of years to see if the appearance of a likeminded Alberta government is a boost for them or a cautionary tale for voters. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR THANK YOU FOR HATE DOGS? AVOID PIONEER STORY ON BILTON Editor: Thank you for the colourful and most enjoyable article of Bill Bilton, as written in KTW’s May 5 section on the 50th anniversary of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association-Central Interior.

As Bill’s teacher in senior high school years, I noted a bright young man who was a leader of men.

He was and has continued to be totally committed to the growth of Kamloops.

In my early years of creating Western Canada Theatre, Bill constructed my sets despite his ultimate interest in sports.

I still consider him an associate and a friend.

Thank you, Mr. Bilton.

Editor: As a dog owner, there are a few places in Kamloops I expect to be able to let me dog be social with others dogs without worry.

However, during a recent visit to Pioneer Park, I was sadly disappointed at what I experienced.

Once at the dog park, I let my puppy off its leash.

She went to say hi to the first people she saw, a group that happened to be high schoolers openly smoking a bong and publicly drinking.

The second set of people my puppy approached yelled at me to get my dog away from them.

I fully expect people who are lounging in a dog park to welcome a curious dog who wants to say hi.

Why would they choose a dog park over Riverside Park if they are scared of canines?

And, there was garbage everywhere.

I have visited this park many times and

Pioneer Park is a dog park, which is why KTW reader Arthur Johnstone is baffled by anti-caniners who visit the area.

can say it is not the dog owners who are littering and leaving beer cans behind.

Dog parks are meant to be a safe place for dogs to play.

I shouldn’t have had to deal with any of these things.

Arthur Johnstone Kamloops

THE DILEMMA THAT IS THE PROPOSED PAC AND PARKADE

Editor: I’ve been pondering the rollout of the proposed parkade/performing-arts center and find the bundling of the two a little mystifying.

Bundling big-ticket items together can create very effective, organized dilemmas if done well. In Vernon, their arts centre was bundled with a rec centre that included a skating rink and curling rink. The dilemma was that someone who loved hockey or curling couldn’t get what they wanted without giving the arts crowd something — and vice-versa.

Our PAC will attract professionals like doctors. What’s perplexing is

the parkade.

Some of our community leaders would have us believe that, for want of a few parking stalls, our downtown will die.

I don’t believe that. I go downtown almost every day and never have trouble finding parking. I think the death knell for our moribund downtown sounded back in the late 1970s when the Hudson’s Bay Company and Woodward’s felt the best way they could help the community was to move away from the downtown core.

Like almost everywhere else in the country, the organized money (our community leaders) rolled

out the welcome mat for the bigbox retailers (who knew 85 cents of every dollar spent at the big box stores leaves the community?).

Kamloops has a one-time opportunity to push the reset button and get things right with downtown revitalization.

As we do this, it is important to remember 97 per cent of the world’s climate scientists, many of our bureaucrats and the mass media, are all telling us climate change is an existential crisis. Parkade magic should not be the No. 1 community planning tool. We should be steering away from car culture and toward greatly reduced travel and a

walking culture.

A long term, more holistic planning approach for a strategic downtown revitalization bundle would include the notion of bundling Ajax’s social licence with the parkade/PAC: The Ajax Parkade and Performing Arts Centre.

The horns of the dilemma then becomes: Will the vast number of doctors attracted by world-class parking and better access to the arts outweigh the value of doctors who live here now and suggest they will move away should the mine go ahead?

Walking your way to wellness

Reubin’s, the sandwich-making restaurant on the Tranquille Market, is promoting a May Strawberry Festival for a good cause.

To the end of the month, Reubin’s will donate $8 from every Strawberry Special sold to People in Motion, a non-profit group that helps people with disabilities.

Diners can choose from a breakfast meal (strawberry French toast delight, bacon and a strawberry smoothie for $12) or a lunch feast (strawberry spinach and chicken salad with raspberry vinaigrette and a strawberry smoothie for $14).

If you ask a family physician for advice on preventive medicine, don’t be surprised if you are told to take a hike.

That was the logic behind the annual Walk With Your Doc event on McArthur Island last week: the health benefits of a daily stroll.

Co-organizer Chelsea Brooks said the event started in B.C. six years ago.

This was the fourth year in Kamloops, one of 59 communities involved.

Dr. Ivan (Chip) Bantock, who has been involved with the Kamloops walk since it started, said he was “very happy to see more than 140 people” sign in, though there may have been more who participated.

“I would like more people next year,” he said.

“The more people come out, the more the message is getting out.”

That message, Bantock added, is vital to good health. Walking for 30 minutes or more a day reduces stress, activates more of the brain’s neurons, strengthens the immune system, tones muscles, improves flexibility and reduces waistlines and weight. ”It also prevents bone loss,” he said, noting

walking wards off osteoporosis and its attendant problems.

“Plus, it increases the body’s good cholesterol, which reduces the chances of cardiovascular disease.”

Some of the walkers incorporated Nordic walking poles strapped to their wrists. The walker pushes down and away for added power with each stride, relaxes the arm and releases the grip, then grips and pushes again.

The repetitive flexing and pushing tones the upper body, provides greater cardiovascular exercise without strain and supports injured or aging hips, knees and backs.

Bantock said he favours anything that encourages exercise in any form.

“I’m not going to put them off. Walking covers all age groups, so it’s a fun event that can be a family affair,” he said.

“Walk With Your Doc becomes a social event, meeting old friends or making new friends.”

Walk With Your Doc is held each May, while Nordic walks are held through CB Wellness weekly.

Cash to preserve knowledge

by Kamloops-North Thompson MLA and Health Minister Terry Lake.

Brenda Prevost, executive director of the centre, hopes to see the work start soon.

The money will be used to expand the existing concessionstyle kitchen into a larger commercial kitchen. From there, Prevost said, the lunch program can grow and workshops can be held on food canning and preserving, budgeting, healthy meal options and other skills development.

For Vadnais, it would simply be a place for seniors to share their wealth of knowledge and socialize.

She noted it could be a boon

DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Bonny Vadnais’ daughter-inlaw has become quite adept at canning fruits and vegetables and making jams and jellies — skills she learned from a senior citizen who lives near her.

Vadnais, a longtime volunteer with the Seniors Information Centre, wants to see that same knowledge sharing thrive and grow at the facility in the Brock Shopping Centre, something that took a big step toward reality with the announcement on Friday of $150,000 grant from the provincial government.

Vadnais spoke at a formal announcement of the funding

for seniors accustomed to harvesting produce and processing them for future use, but who don’t have the space to do it anymore, having downsized to smaller housing units.

“I wonder how many of them miss the fall jam-canning they would do,” Vadnais said to the packed house at the centre to hear the announcement.

The kitchen won’t be restricted to seniors, however.

Prevost, who noted it is being called a neighbourhood kitchen, said the centre is partnering with other organizations in the city, including the Kamloops Food Policy Council and Interior Community Services, with hopes to link up with even more.

Mother’s Day Mela Teeyan on May 31 The Mother’s Day Mela Teeyan 2015 will take place on May 31 at Colombo Hall.

Teeyan Da Mela is an event organized by members of the Punjabi community and involves Mothers and daughters from all ethnic groups.

The event will include appetizers, dinner, entertainment, door prizes and a grand-prize draw.

[video online] See standup footage at kamloopsthisweek.com BILL COWEN PHOTO Darren Frost is en route to Kamloops to perform his edgy-humoured The Darkness Within standup comedy show at The Office Pub and Grill.

FROST NOT FOR FAINT OF HEART JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

If you “don’t like

one joke, wait for the next one. If you don’t like three in a row, probably leave.

”

F

or Darren Frost, there’s no thrill like standup comedy.

The Canadian comic wears many hats — voice, film and television actor, among others — but it’s all for the stage.

“Standup comedy, by far,” he said of his preferred work.

“Everything else funds my ability to do standup comedy.”

He recently wrapped up two days of filming with Nicolas Cage for a part in the movie Pay the Ghost and had just touched down in the Yukon when KTW reached him for a phone interview.

The Darkness Within Tour — his largest in Canada in 25 years — began in Ontario and will make its way across the country this year.

He’ll stop at The Office Pub and Grill in Valleyview this week and remembers performing in the River City in the mid-1990s, downtown at

the former Jukebox Jive.

“People used to drink. I’m sure that hasn’t changed,” he said with a laugh.

Frost, 44, has seen changes to the comedy world in his tenure on stage, namely due to the explosion of the Internet.

“Communication has got easier,” he said.

“Crowds have become more comedy savvy.”

But, one thing never changes.

“If you wanna make a living in this country, you have to hustle,” he said. “You think that over time and education, that would kind of go away, but it doesn’t.”

Frost’s own comedy style has changed.

While he once focused on social commentary, he said people don’t want to hear it anymore.

Now, he jokes about real life and his three boys — ages five, eight and 11 — back home in Toronto, offer plenty of inspiration.

“I talk about my kids a lot now,” he said, noting it’s all “feces and farts” with them.

“It’s all they talk about. Sometimes I wish I have a girl.”

As for his tour, Frost advises audiences to keep an open mind and the hashtag set up for the tour on social media #thedarknesswithin provides insight.

His tweets are laced with profanities. Of the ones KTW could print: “sister had so many abortions in the 90s when she goes inside a closet all the coat hangers go straight #oldjokes #nottrue #thedarknesswithin [sic]” “I can’t stop humming black sabbath songs while my son has first communion #warpigs #thewizard [sic]” Frost says his tour is not for the faint of heart.

“Don’t come with an agenda, just come to laugh,” he said. “If you don’t like one joke, wait for the next one. . . If you don’t like three in a row, probably leave.”

He is also selling a jump drive box set with more than 24 hours of comedy, on which his tour is based. The pub is at 2020 Falcon Rd. Tickets are $10 in advance from kamtix.ca or $15 at the door.

The show is at 8 p.m.

DENTAL X-RAYS & TECHNOLOGY IS IT BETTER? Part III of III

Digital vs Film? Most dentists are switching over to digital sensors mainly due to reduced exposure to Dr. Preety Desai radiation. Why is this? Well, digital sensors are more sensitive than older film (although F speed film uses the same dosage as digital sensors) and capture the same amount of information to be diagnostic for a dentist at lower radiation. Equally important is the reduction of chemicals used (i.e. fixer and developer needed) and reduced waiting time allowing dental professionals see things immediately on the computer screen. There is also the poor cousin of the digital sensor called SCANx, which is made out of a reusable x-ray plate like a film but this plate is not immediately scanned onto the computer screen. This intermediary step has no benefit over traditional film nor a reduction of waiting time with more exposure to radiation than true digital sensors and is just a cheap way to enter the “digital world”.

The most accurate extraoral film today is the dental CBCT (cone beam computed tomogram).

This is a completely different machine than the previous dental x-ray machines discussed. The dental CBCT functions similar to a medical CT scan with 1000 times less radiation. The advantage over normal x-rays is that it provides no distortion to the image and captures three dimensions not just two. It also uses a computerized software to stitch together the image slices unlike a medical CT scanner thus reducing the radiation exposure.

Recently, CBCT has become increasing available for use in dental offices, mainly surgical specialty offices such as periodontists, endodontists, oral surgeons or orthodontists. CBCT is only to be used when a diagnosis is not available through traditional x-rays due to the slight increase dosage overall for the patient. Unfortunately we are seeing more and more inappropriate usage as a novelty effect for new clinicians to “pay for the machine”. And of course, never forget that a good clinical exam can never be replaced!

The CBCT results in a virtual three-dimensional (3D) representation of the patient. Only some models can limit the field of view to 3 to 4 teeth, otherwise most have only the capability of scanning the whole mouth. This virtual image contains diagnostically important information that is not possible to see in other dental images (i.e. nerve position, extra root canals etc.). However, taking a CBCT image results in a slightly higher radiation dose and must be seriously taken into account depending on the information sought by the dentist.

Thus all in all... X-rays today are safe compared to technology and usage in the past. The patient must not be afraid of the unknown by lack of information or biases. But yet - you are your own advocate and if in doubt of anything in the dental office, you must only ASK and your dentist will explain things.

The Kamloops Art Gallery, 465 Victoria St., hosts Baby and Me Art Exploration on Thursday, at 11 a.m.

It’s 45 minutes of creativity with babyfriendly edible homemade play dough.

TUESDAY

Royal Inland Hospital is looking for a glasswork artist to create a work for the north-facing windows of its Sacred Space.

The area is culturally inclusive for people of all faiths and backgrounds, including those who do not identify with any faith.

Viktor Gundel, the hospital’s spiritual care coordinator, wants to see artwork appropriate to the space and its function installed to replace the frosted windows now there.

At the time it was created in 2010, Gundel described the area on the first floor of the hospital as a space to ponder, grieve, hope and heal, a space for everyone regardless of their beliefs or cultures.

The room was designed with input from the city’s spiritual community and the hospital’s aboriginal health team. The area includes reclaimed pine-beetle wood, ceramin flooring and natural light through the windows.

Gundel is working with the Kamloops Arts Council to identify potential artists. It is collected expressions of interest and, once a list of artists is readied, he will meet with them in the space to provide more information to help them refine their ideas.

After that, he’ll pick the artist whose work he thinks best reflects the goal.

Deadline for responding is May 29. Those interested can send their proposals to Sinclair by email to info@kamloopsarts.ca.

Exhibit proceeds to artists, hospice How We See BC is an art show and sale to benefit the Kamloops Hospice Association.

Half of all proceeds will go to the association, with the remaining going to the artists

T

anner Ockenden knows how ridiculous it sounds.

For a couple of trying weeks in June, Ockenden, a Kamloops native, along with Victoria brothers Graham and Russell Henry, Salmon Arm’s Nik Rampen, and East Coasters Ryan Schissler and Mackenzie Punter, will be rowing in a 1,100-kilometre race from Victoria to Alaska.

The Race to Alaska, the first-ever longest human- and wind-powered race in North America, is a competition in which participants make

their way in any type of nonmotorized boat from Victoria to Ketchikan, Alaska. The only supplies they can use are the ones they can fit in the boat and no outside help is allowed.

“Everyone is staying pretty positive right now,” Ockenden told KTW. He and his team are among the only teams choosing to use human power. One other competitor will make the trek on a standup paddle board, while a third will go in a rowboat.

“I think it’s going definitely to test our ability to stay positive as a group of six dudes who are all already pretty positive, as disposition goes, on a day-to-day basis. It will be fun to test our mental strength as

well as our physical strength.

“It’s going to be a big wall to climb.”

In the race’s inaugural year, 38 teams will be competing for the chance to win $10,000.

Ockenden’s six-man team, which have dubbed itself the Soggy Beavers, will head north on a 44-foot long, 340 pound outrigger canoe, outfitted with a sailing rig.

“It’s bigger, it’s faster, it’s more sea-worthy. Polynesians crossed oceans in these things, so we figured it would be a good thing to run up to Alaska,” Graham Henry told the Victoria News.

“Because we’re doing it differently, it gives us an advantage if the weather is right for us. There are lots of catama-

rans that are fighting against each other and have almost the same set of gear, we’re in a very different boat.”

The team’s plan is to row non-stop for six or seven days, taking turns sleeping in a coffin-style position wedged between the seats, living in their dry-suits for the duration of the trip and eating dehydrated fruits and energy bars.

The Henry brothers have experience on longer expeditions, having kayaked 6,500 kilometres from Brazil to Florida in 2013.

But, for the other four paddlers, it will be a relatively new experience.

It has been a long time since the Kamloops Sun Devils had a summer with so much on the line.

The Sun Devils will again play their regular season action in the Pacific International League (PIL), going up against the likes of the Seattle Studs, Everett Merchants and Northwest Honkers.

They will also have the Kamloops International Baseball Tournament (KIBT), tournaments in Kelowna and Grand Forks and will play host to the 2015 B.C. senior men’s provincials.

But, the highlight of this season will no doubt be the 2015 Baseball Canada Senior Men’s National Championship in Chatham, N.B. For longtime Sun Devil Will Devick, entering the season knowing Kamloops will compete for a national title brings a new level of excitement to the summer.

“We’re just pretty amped up — we know that we’ve got a big year and we’ve got to do well before we get to nationals,” Devick told KTW. “We haven’t really gotten any games under belts yet, so there’s no sense of urgency yet. But, once we start playing games and seeing where we’re at, up against the other teams, we’ll start to adjust.”

Kamloops won the 2014 B.C. provincial title, defeating the Langley Blaze in a 16-inning thriller, to earn its berth in the 2015 national tournament.

The Sun Devils, a summer team made up entirely of Thompson Rivers University players and alumni, will return their entire roster from 2014, along with a few notable graduates from this year’s WolfPack.

They will also again have the services of Kyle Dhanani, who played minor professional baseball in the Milwaukee Brewers organization.

“We went to the senior provincial championship game and, sort of like TRU, we’d go to the game and we couldn’t get the final out of that game and come out on top,” said Sun Devils coach and manager Ray Chadwick.

Prior to 2014, the Sun Devils had gone more than 25 years without a provincial title.

“We finally pulled it off last summer after going three years in a row. It took us fifteen or something innings, but we got it done.”

SLURPING UP SOCCER ACTION The 37th annual Slurpee Cup youth soccer tournament brought 167 teams from B.C. and Alberta to Kamloops on the Victoria Day long weekend. Included in the action were the Kamloops Blaze (light-coloured jerseys) and Nanaimo’s VIPL Storm in under-16 competition.

Ockenden and company depart June 7 From page A17

“This was an opportunity to slingshot myself back into a more transient, simple adventurous lifestyle, which is where I find myself feeling most fulfilled,” said Ockenden, a NorKam grad.

He, along with Rampen and Russell, graduated from Thompson Rivers University’s adventure guiding diploma program in 2012.

“At this point, I think we’re a little too headstrong to feel

the nerves right now,” he said.

“But, coming up to race day, I’m sure we’re going to start to feel it.

In preparation for the race, the paddlers have been training every day, rowing in Victoria’s Inner Harbour.

But, sailing on open water comes with its own set of challenges.

The group said managing sleep, unpredictable weather conditions and the physical exertion pose the biggest challenges.

“It’s going to be about creative problem-solving and just suffering through it,” said Graham.

“It’s not often that you get to see the entire Canadian West Coast in a week, especially via such a pure form of transportation,” added Rampen.

The crew hopes to land in Ketchikan by June 13. After that, they’ll paddle back down to Prince Rupert where Schissler’s dad will drive the boat and a few of the crew

members home.

The rest will hitchhike south — the truck won’t fit everyone.

The team has set up a Go Fund Me page called Canoe to Ketchikan and half of every dollar donated will be given to the Vancouver-based Take a Hike Youth at Risk Foundation, an organization they are all closely connected with.

The race starts on Sunday, June 7, at noon in the Inner Harbour.

KIBT close second to nationals for Sun Devils From page A17

“So, now we get to go to nationals and that’s a big thing. It’s really big for us.�

The Sun Devils are confident their current roster has what it takes to repeat as provincial champions and even win a national title.

In 2014, after losing to Kamloops in the provincial championship, Langley went on to capture the national title as Team B.C. Kamloops will send a team to the junior national championship in Regina as well. The junior national championship is for under21 players.

return to the winner’s circle of the Kamloops International Baseball Tournament.

For Devick, KIBT has always been a season highlight. The shortstop/third baseman said the tournament is a close second on the calendar to nationals this year. “Year over year since I started playing in KIBT at 17 or 18, [the highlight] has been KIBT,� Devick

said. When he was playing college baseball in Kentucky, the Kamloops native made a point of flying home every summer to play in the tournament. “I loved it, I never regretted coming home. I kind of built it

into every season, to come back for KIBT.�

With the WolfPack set to begin PIL season play May 23, a big summer for Kamloops’ senior men’s team is finally getting underway in the Tournament Capital.

And, having never had so much on the line, the expectations have reached new heights. “B.C. won the nationals last year,�

Devick said. “If we could win nationals, there’s not much more for a guy like myself to win, out of Kamloops anyhow.�

HMCS Preserver during the 2009 New York Fleet Week.

eBay used to find parts OTTAWA — Newly released government records show navy mechanics in Halifax had to scour the Internet and use eBay to find parts for one of its two supply ships.

But, the briefing notes obtained by The Canadian Press, prepared for navy commander Vice-Admiral Mark Norman, show the technicians were fighting a losing battle to keep HMCS Preserver on duty.

The documents show many of the parts on the 45-year-old ship were “beyond acceptable limits’’ because corrosion issues had begun to compromise the vessel’s structural integrity.

National Defence said last year both Preserver and its sister ship HMCS Protecteur — gutted by a dangerous at-sea fire — would be retired before

replacement ships arrived.

Since the original manufacturers had long ago stopped making spare parts, it was taking too long to find replacements, “some of which have been procured via eBay.’” A separate set of briefing notes, obtained by the federal Liberals, shows the impending retirement of the navy’s Iroquois-class destroyers will leave an airdefence gap for Canadian task forces at sea.

Liberal MP Marc Garneau, a former naval officer and astronaut, said the fleet is in dire shape, even with the multibillion-dollar upgrade to the Halifaxclass frigates, the backbone of the navy.

WASHINGTON — Canada and Mexico have defeated the United States’ meat-labelling rules at the World Trade Organization, winning a final appeal that could pave the way to retaliatory sanctions.

The body upheld previous decisions that the U.S. has violated international trade law with a requirement that meat be labelled by the country where it was raised and slaughtered.

Canada and Mexico argued the requirement created costly overhead, and logistical problems for an integrated industry where livestock might cross the border multiple times.

The Canadian government argued that it was actually a protectionist measure, designed to discourage imports of foreign meat while doing nothing to benefit food safety.

It blamed the measure for a drastic decline in Canadian meat exports to the U.S. in recent years, and had repeatedly warned that it would retaliate if successful at the WTO. That moment has arrived.

The U.S. is now left with

two options, according to the Canadian government: fix the law or suffer punitive tariffs on a range of American goods.

“The United States has used and exhausted all possible means to avoid its international obligations,’’ said a statement from Canada’s agriculture and trade ministers, after the ruling was released yesterday.

“In light of the final ruling . . .

Canada will be seeking authority from the WTO to use retaliatory measures on U.S. agricultural and non-agricultural products.’’

The Canadian government said it will now prepare an application to the WTO for punitive measures — a process that involves setting a dollar value on the retaliation, and identifying products subject to tariffs.

Canada has already identified a series of products that could be subject to a 100 per cent surtax.

The products chosen were intended to single out states whose lawmakers have supported the meat-labelling requirements.

The list of products identified

by Canada suggests a couple of main targets: California and Pennsylvania are at the top of the list.

Wine, frozen orange juice, chocolate, ketchup, pasta, cereals — stats show Canadians import hundreds of millions of some of those products from the U.S. each year, and California or Pennsylvania are key producers of almost every single one.

Michigan, Minnesota and Illinois also produce some of the goods on the hit-list.

The U.S. government said it hopes to find a solution before such talk escalates. It said it’s working with lawmakers in an attempt to find a legislative fix.

“We are considering all options going forward, and will continue to consult with members of Congress and interested members of the public regarding possible next steps,’’ said Tim Reif, chief counsel of the U.S. Trade Representative.

He said the ruling confirmed the U.S. view that the labels weren’t trade restrictive, but expressed disappointment that it upheld lower-level findings that current U.S. law discriminates against Canadian and Mexican livestock.

International Trade Minister Ed Fast has said in the past the legislation costs the Canadian pork and beef industries about $1 billion annually.

NATIONAL NEWS

INSIDE ONE OF CANADA’S MOST DECREPIT PRISONS BOB WEBER

THE CANADIAN PRESS

IQALUIT, Nunavut — The intake cell at what may be Canada’s most decrepit prison at one time offered all sorts of useful information.

Names on the walls would let you know who was inside. Tidbits such as ``---- is a rat’’ might suggest who couldn’t be trusted.

And the sentence once carved into the door was probably the most succinct orientation new prisoners ever received to Nunavut’s notorious Baffin Correctional Centre in Iqaluit.

“It said, ‘Welcome to hell,’’’ recalled guard Susan Idlout. “When that door closes and you see that, you don’t feel so good.’’

It’s all been removed by a $900,000 renovation

that is cleaning up the prison’s pervasive mould, its broken fire sprinklers, its punched-out walls, its uncleanable bathrooms.

A new building next door has eased overcrowding and prisoners no longer bunk down in the gym.

“It was pretty gross walking in there in the morning,’’ said director of corrections JP Deroy.

“Thirty men and no bathroom.’’

But, a federal auditor general’s report released in March remains harshly critical of corrections in Nunavut.

“The Department of Justice has not met its key responsibilities for inmates within the correctional system,’’ it concludes.

That assessment was echoed by an email from a senior Nunavut bureaucrat to Justice Minister Paul Okalik ear-

lier this year.

Deputy Justice Minister Elizabeth Sanderson wrote: “Nunavut is likely in significant breach of constitutional obligations towards remanded accused and inmates . . . and faces a high risk of civil liability towards inmates, staff and members of the public.’’

A walk with Deroy through the battered building known unaffectionately as BCC reveals why, in 2013, a federal investigator said it was unsafe for inmates and staff.

Built for 68 minimum-security prisoners, it has averaged more than 80 and up to 115 at any one time, from all security levels, including remand. That kind of overcrowding, with six prisoners in nine square metres of cell, wears on a building.

Vandalized sprinkler heads allowed water to seep into walls. Floors around overused toilets were constantly damp.

Mould was everywhere. So was the odour of mildew.

Holes in hallway walls attest to too many men in too small a space with too much anger.

“The wall is an easy target,’’ said Deroy.

In one still-used cell, heat registers were falling off the wall and ceiling tiles were dropping.

A patched hole that had been chipped through the wall once allowed the passage of drugs and money to other cells.

Because BCC wasn’t built to maximum-security standards, holes are common.

The outside of the building is pocked with metal plates sealing off passageways punched

through by prisoners.

Deroy tells of one inmate opening a ceiling-light fixture, sneaking through the ducting and breaking into the prison canteen.

The toll overcrowding has taken on the building is nothing compared to its toll on inmates.

With no space to segregate the dangerous prisoners from the rest, violence has been common.

Auditor general Michael Ferguson noted physical assaults on inmates, staff or visitors more than tripled to 185 between 2002 and 2012.

A carving program in the prison yard was cancelled years ago because participants were being forced to mule contraband.

“Some of the carvers got beat up pretty good,’’ said Idlout.

Space for education is makeshift. With no room to do much other than warehouse inmates, little programming is conducted.

The auditor general found that out of 24 inmates surveyed, none had case plans designed

to guide their rehabilitation. Only one-third of prisoners needing mental services had access to them.

Nor is the overcrowding good for Nunavut communities. Deroy said judges know what BCC is like and, if they can, sentence accordingly.

“You often see people on probation that if they were down south, they would be sentenced to custody.

“If we had one wish as to what we would need, we’d ask for space.

We need space.’’

Things are improving.

New paint and renovations mean the place no longer smells like a damp dishtowel.

An adjacent 48-bed, minimum-security facility called Makigiarvik that opened in March is easing some of the overcrowding. So is a new 48-bed minimum- and medium-security prison in Rankin Inlet.

Deroy hopes the new facilities will help keep numbers in the old building down to about 60.

“We’re able to separate our groups,’’ he said.

“It actually allows us to work more closely with the offenders and do the programming that we want to do.’’

Makigiarvik, a $16-million bright, fresh place with a proper classroom and high ceilings, gives Deroy a carrot to motivate offenders to good behaviour.

And it gives him a little peace of mind.

“When we didn’t have this building, you go to bed at night thinking, ‘Is this the night you’re going to get a call that something major is happening?’ I sleep a little better now.’’

Still, the auditor general says Nunavut has a way to go.

Even with the new facilities, he predicted Nunavut will be short 70 prison beds within the next decade. And there’s still no maximum-security space.

“The Department of Justice should acquire sufficient maximumsecurity beds and also ensure that mediumsecurity inmates and those on remand are properly housed,’’ the report says.

Y Obituaries & In Memoriam Z T. J. BRUCE APPS Thomas James Bruce Apps passed away peacefully on May 15th, 2015 at Hospice in Kamloops with family members at his side. Dad was born in Toronto on December 20, 1922.

Bruce was predeceased by his loving wife Grace in 2004 and he is survived by his five children: Randy Apps of North Vancouver, Rick (Shelly) Apps of Sicamous, Renny (Deb) Apps of Kamloops, Debbie (Trevor) McBride of Kamloops and Barb (Bill) Robillard of Chemainus, BC. He also leaves his 10 grandchildren, Chris, Teri, Brian, Natasha, Steve, Julie, Carrie, Leslie, Leah and Jay and 10 great-grandchildren. He is survived by his brother Art (Lynn) Apps of White Rock and was predeceased by his sister Ivy Wisemiller.

At the age of five, dad and his family made the long journey across Canada from Toronto to Vancouver. At the beginning of the Depression, the family moved to County Line in the Fraser Valley. At the start of the war, the family moved back to Vancouver in 1940, and dad got a job as a bicycle courier with Eagle Time Delivery Systems. His boss was the notorious Joe Philliponi.

In the early ‘40s he moved to Big Bar Creek and worked at the OK Ranch with his brother Art. Dad joined the army in Vernon and went overseas with the Calgary Highlanders. He landed in Normandy on D-Day +6, June 12th, 1944 at the age of 21. Dad returned from the war as a member of the Canadian Scottish Regiment.

Dad arrived home from the war and purchased a Harley Davidson motorcycle with his War Veterans Gratuity. On his way to work to the L & A Ranch early in the morning, he would wake the people of Armstrong up with the noise of his new motorcycle.

Bruce met Grace, the love of his life, in Vernon and they shared many dances at the dance hall in Coldstream. Mom and dad were married in Agassiz, where dad worked as a police officer.

Dad then applied through the Veterans Affairs for the mechanic training course. He did his training in Vancouver and then got a job with Pacific Western Airlines in February 1955 at Sprout Lake in Port Alberni. After a few years, dad moved his family to Prince Rupert and continued to work for Pacific Western Airlines as the base manager. He heard of a job opening in Vancouver with Canadian Pacific Airlines, so we packed up again and moved to Richmond.

We settled into our home in Richmond and stayed put until 1968, when dad transferred with the airlines up to Kamloops. After a year, the airlines pulled out of Kamloops, so dad made a big decision to leave the company. He then went to work at the Dept. of Highways in security at Tranquille, and finished his working days at the Kamloops Regional Corrections Centre.

Dad now had the time to enjoy his friends and family, as well as the birds, squirrels, his music, fishing and road trips.

Dad also became a member of the Kamloops Target Sports Association, where he made many friends.

Dad lived in his own home on the North Thompson River with a beautiful view of the mountains until six days before his passing.

In his last days at the Hospice House, dad could still enjoy the beautiful view of the Kamloops valley and the care that the nurses and his family gave him.

The family would like to thank all the caregivers from Community Health and Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice House who helped us care for dad.

A memorial service will be held on Wednesday May 20, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. at The Dunes Golf Course Clubhouse in beautiful Westsyde.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice.

If I Knew But just in case I might be wrong, And today is all I get, I’d like to say how much I love you And I hope we never forget.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, If I knew it would be the last time Young or old alike, that I see you walk out the door, And today may be the last chance I would give you a hug and kiss You get to hold your loved one tight.

And call you back for one more.

So if you’re waiting for tomorrow, If I knew it would be the last time Why not do it today?

I’d hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action and word, For if tomorrow never comes, so I could play them back day after day. You’ll surely regret the day, That you didn’t take that extra time If I knew it would be the last time, For a smile, a hug, or a kiss I could spare an extra minute And you were too busy to grant To stop and say “I love you,” someone, Instead of assuming you would KNOW What turned out to be their one last I do. wish.

If I knew it would be the last time So hold your loved ones close today, I would be there to share your day, Well I’m sure you’ll have so many more, And whisper in their ear, Tell them how much you love them so I can let just this one slip away.

And that you’ll always hold them dear For surely there’s always tomorrow Take time to say “I’m sorry,” To make up for an oversight, “Please forgive me,” “Thank you,” or And we always get a second chance “It’s okay.”

To make everything just right.

And if tomorrow never comes, There will always be another day You’ll have no regrets about today.

To say “I love you,” And certainly there’s another chance To say our “Anything I can do?”

If I knew it would be the last time That I’d see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in more tightly And pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

Y Obituaries & In Memoriam Z NANCY FILGATE

WALTER HUGO RECK

November 21, 1935- May 5, 2015

Walter Hugo Reck passed away on May 6th at the age of 84. He is survived by his daughters Ursula Ostermeier (Erich), of Germany, Gabrielle Bekkvang (Oistein), of Norway, and his son Wally Reck (Karen) of Calgary.

He also leaves behind three grandchildren: Peter, Tyler and Brendan. He was predeceased by his wife Anne and granddaughter Lisa.

Walter was born in Ebenweiler, Germany in 1930 and immigrated to Canada with Anne and their two daughters in 1958 to Calgary. They lived there for 42 years before retiring to Kamloops in 2000. Walter was a successful businessman as a journeyman bricklayer and plasterer. Walter had made many friends over the years and will be missed. At Walterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request, there will be no memorial service.

Nancy passed away peacefully on May 5, 2015 at the Kamloops Hospice surrounded by her family, at the age of 79. She will be lovingly remembered by her sons David (Malinda), Rick (Danielle), and Greg (Kim), her grandchildren Jessica, Dale, Brooke, Jonah, Gayle and Jonathan, as well as nieces, nephews, greatgrandchildren, friends and numerous other family members.

She was predeceased by her husband Bryce, her sister Ruth and two brothers Ted and Bob. Nancy will be remembered for her strong spirit and strong sense of family. She was widowed young and faced the sudden change of heading back to work to support her three teenage sons after being a stay-at-home mom for 22 years. She did that with grace, strength of will and became the pillar of her family. Her generosity was second to none and exceeded beyond that of her family. Nancyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main hobbies were knitting and crocheting. She put her efforts to good use by donating what she made, which consisted of thousands of hats, scarves, toques, mitts, booties, slippers and blankets to several charities (Vista Community Services, Rotary Lodge Kelowna, New Life Mission, Christmas Amalgamated, and Kamloops Hospice), keeping many around Kamloops and Kelowna warmer throughout the winter. She will be greatly missed, but the memory of who she was will live on through her family.

FRANCES JUNE BETTS

GEORGE ALTON BEDARD

June 16th, 1937 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; May 12th, 2015

July 4, 1939 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; May 14, 2015

Frances (Fran) June Betts passed away peacefully on to glory land May 12th, 2015 at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home in Kamloops after celebrating Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day with her family at her side. Fran was born on June 16th, 1937 to Dorothy and Henry Gilbertson in Garden Bay, B.C. She married her ďŹ rst love, George Betts, on June 23, 1956, at the United Church in Davis Bay on the Sunshine Coast.

Fran and George moved the family from the Sunshine Coast to Kamloops in 1973. She is survived by her loving husband, George Betts, of 59 years and her six children: Roberta Milton, Sheila Stephenson, Jean McIntosh, Shelley MacDonald, Daniel Betts and Grace Jones. She is also survived by her two sisters, Joyce Richardson and Esther Dyke, 14 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her brother Robert Gilbertson, sister Grace Miner and great-granddaughter Madeline Stephenson.

Fran was a long term care aid at the Ponderosa Lodge for 17 years. Those who she cared for knew her for her tender love and mercy. Fran loved her garden and would spend hours nurturing her ďŹ&#x201A;owers; her crop was always bountiful. She was loved and she loved much.

The family would like to thank the wonderful caregivers at the Community Care Home Support, High Country Health Care and the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home for their kind and special care of Mom. A Celebration of Franâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life will be held at the Summit Drive Church at 1975 Summit Drive, Kamloops, BC, at 1:00 p.m. on May 22nd, with Pastor Harry Bicknell. The family welcome all guests to stay for refreshments following the service.

Friends who desire may make a memorial donation in memory of Fran to the Marjorie Willougby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home at 72 Whiteshield Crescent, Kamloops, BC, V2E 2S9 (www.kamloopshospice.com)

Surrounded by his family in a room ďŹ lled with much love and adoration, Al peacefully passed away. Our beloved father, grandfather, brother, uncle and good friend will be dearly missed and forever remembered.

Born in Kamloops, his parents, George & Kay, raised him and his three brothers in their HefďŹ&#x201A;ey Creek homestead. Growing up, he attended HefďŹ&#x201A;ey Creek elementary, Kamloops High School and BCIT. For over 48 years, Al was a very valuable member of the team at Balco/Tolko Industries as a saw-ďŹ ler and then later become the lathe operator. Well respected by his co-workers and management, Alâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong work ethic is a trait he instilled in all of his children. The team from Balco/Tolko formed strong bonds working together and this showed through in the experiences and stories Al shared with his family.

As most in HefďŹ&#x201A;ey Creek know, community is a big part of everyday life and Al took pride in volunteering for the HefďŹ&#x201A;ey Creek Water District for over 38 years.

In September of 1961, Al and his bride Sheila were married at the Lady of Lourdes Parish in HefďŹ&#x201A;ey Creek. They built their home together in 1965 on Tod Mountain Road, where they raised Dion, Deanna, and Deborah. The property holds a special place in all of their hearts and the children plan to create many more memories with their families and the loving community of HefďŹ&#x201A;ey Creek.

Another large passion of Alâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was the outdoors; he loved to spend time camping, ďŹ shing and hunting and gave his children the opportunity to love the outdoors as well. There are many fond memories of summers spent at Knouff Lake, Badger Lake and East Barriere Lake.

Alâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love and devotion to his family and friends will forever be cherished. Al is survived by his children Dion Bedard (Michele) Gabriel, Madeline, Samuel; Deanna Loychuk (Jackson) Petro, Maximus; Deborah Bacon (Corey) Brody, Dylan, Sophie, Jack and his three brothers Jim (Loretta) Larry (Lynn) and Joe (Evelyn) along with many wonderful nieces and nephews.

Al was predeceased by his loving wife Sheila in 2013, his parents George and Kay Bedard, his in-laws Omar and Marie Fair and an infant brother Eugene.

Everyone is welcome to join the family at prayers on Friday, May 22 at 7:00 p.m. at St. John Vianney Parish located at 2826 Bank Road, Westsyde. Father Andrew Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Heureux will celebrate the funeral mass at St. John Vianney Parish on Saturday, May 23 at 11:00 a.m. with a luncheon reception to follow.

Condolences may be sent to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

250-554-2577

A very special thank you to all the angels at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home, their kindness and professionalism were above and beyond in every way. Donations in Alâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name can be made to the Hospice Centre.
