Five years ago this month, Archie Lepretre was attacked in broad daylight and fatally stabbed while playing basketball with his cousin, a gang member, outside Stuart Wood elementary in downtown Kamloops.

The attackers, from a rival gang, were after the cousin.

Today, sentencing hearings will begin for one of Lepretre’s two killers.

KTW obtained access to court documents that tell the story of Lepretre’s violent murder — a story of forbidden love that hasn’t been told to this point and begins on Page A4.

B.C.’s top court has dismissed an appeal by a support worker convicted last year of stripping and shaving the body hair of a young man passed out at his house.

A lawyer acting for Michael Hume, 48, appealed his conviction to the B.C. Court of Appeal, arguing the sentencing judge made errors in her instruction to the jury.

In June, Justice Sheri Donegan sentenced Michael Hume, 48, to three years in jail for sexual assault and unlawful confinement in connection to a bizarre incident that split the Fraser Canyon First Nations community of Lytton between sympathy for the respected support worker and community organizer and his victim, a young adult whose name is protected due to a court order.

The victim was emotional during his testimony, struggling through tears as he testified to waking up on an August morning in 2013 after a drinking session as Hume was shaving his pubic region.

Much of his body hair had been removed.

He said Hume laughed and said, “Your girlfriend will like it.”

Hume then drove the young man home, gave him $50 and warned him not to tell anyone. Hume earlier threatened him not to leave.

As part of the appeal, the defence argued a quantity of what appeared to be human hair found in Hume’s vacuum was not scientifically identified as the victim’s and the jury should not have considered it.

“In my view, the jury was well able to understand that evidence and deal with it appropriately, based on its own experience and common sense,” wrote Justice David Frankel.

During the trial, Hume denied shaving the complainant. He continues to deny the offence.

Webb acknowledged the low Canadian dollar is helping but, right now, it is not enough.

City forester and former Venture Kamloops chairman Chris Ortner said markets for lumber and plywood do not always move together — lumber is oriented to the Canadian and U.S. housing markets, as well as exports to China, while plywood is oriented to large infrastructure like airports or transit construction.

“Even though the housing market may be healthy, that’s an OSB (oriented strand board) market.”

Webb said Thompson River Veneer is looking to return to plywood production. One positive for the company is it is not struggling to find fibre supply.

“We’re working to get things back as soon as possible,” he said of the layoffs.

Kamloops Mounties are looking for a man Police Beat who scared a teenaged girl by demanding she get in his vehicle on Tuesday morning.

The incident took place at about 12:10 p.m. in the area of Springhill Drive and Springhill Place in Sahali.

Staff Sgt. Robert Daly said a 17-year-old girl was standing at a bus stop when a man drove by in a white, four-door Ford Escort with a B.C.-coloured licence plate.

He then did a U-turn and drove back to the girl at the bus stop. He lowered the power window on the passenger side and asked the girl if she wanted a ride. When she declined, the man began swearing at the girl, demanding that she get in his car.

At this time, another vehicle pulled onto the street and the man drove away.

Daly said the girl was shaken, but unharmed.

The man is white with what the girl said was “a bit of a tan.” He is about 30 years old, weighs about 170 pounds and has short brown hair. He was wearing a dark short-sleeve V-neck shirt and large aviator-style sunglasses.

Anyone who may have witnessed or has information on this incident is asked to call the Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

The B.C. Labour Relations Board has ruled a decertification vote by nurses and care aides at a Kamloops seniors’ complex — which did not result in ousting of the union — was not the result of unfair practices by anti-union campaigners nor the company that manages the complex.

The Hospital Employees’ Union (HEU) certified 128 workers at the then-new Brocklehurst Gemstone Care Centre on Tranquille Road in August 2014.

Thirteen months later,

a group of employees organized a decertification drive, leading to a vote on Oct. 1, 2015. Complaints among some employees included paying union dues and unhappiness with the way the union conducted the original drive to sign up workers.

The ballot box was sealed, however, after the HEU filed a complaint with the B.C. Labour Relations Board (LRB) alleging the employer interfered. It asked for the application to be dismissed.

Ballots were counted following the ruling. The pro-union side prevailed

and HEU will continue to represent employees.

LRB vice-chairman Koml Kandola ruled management company Kolbina Care for Seniors Ltd. did not substantially interfere in the effort by some employees to oust the union.

The union alleged Kolbina interfered by turning a “blind eye” to an obvious decertification campaign during work time.

“I cannot find that improper interference by the employer occurred as alleged,” Kandola wrote.

The building is owned by Riverside Retirement Centre Ltd.

Driver flees after crashing into building Police are looking for the driver of a white van that crashed into a North Kamloops apartment building on Tuesday night, damaging the structure and a vehicle parked in the underground garage.

Kamloops RCMP Sgt. Karen Delorey said residents of the Chateau Garden apartment building at 111 Knox St. heard what sounded like an explosion at 7:35 p.m. and the building had been evacuated by the time officers arrived.

Delorey said police learned a white full-size van had struck the building, causing damage to the underground parking garage and the interior of the building.

“No one was injured as a result of this incident and, prior to fleeing the scene, the van also struck a vehicle which had been parked in the parking lot, causing minor damages to the vehicle,” Delorey said, noting the van will have damage to the front end of the vehicle and scrapes to the roof.

Anybody with information on the incident can call RCMP at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

The cousins were playing basketball on the outdoor blacktop in the Stuart Wood schoolyard in downtown Kamloops just before 5 p.m. on March 22, 2011 — a sunny spring afternoon with the mercury attempting to

push double digits.

Three men, dressed in black and red with bandanas covering their faces, entered the fenced-in basketball court through its only gate, effectively cornering the unarmed cousins.

Each of the attackers was wearing gloves and armed — two with knives, one with a baseball bat.

The three assailants — later identified as Anthony Scotchman, Travis Johnny and Chris David — were from the rival Redd Alert gang and had been “hunting” GTS members in Kamloops over a period of days. *** A baby brought the two groups together.

Scotchman, who lived in the Vancouver area, was in Kamloops for the birth of his child, who was born nine days before the murder.

The mother of the child was Tremblay’s cousin.

“Because Scotchman was a member of the RA gang and Tremblay was a member of the GTS gang, this caused tension between the two families beyond the gang rivalry,” reads an agreed statement of facts entered by lawyers into B.C. Supreme Court. *** On the fencedin basketball court,

THE PLAYERS Redd Alert

Game Tight Soldiers

Redd Alert is a predominantly First Nations gang that formed in Edmonton in the mid-1990s.

Redd is an acronym for “Red Edmontonians Doing Dirt,” according to police. Since it was founded, the gang has spread throughout Western Canada — B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba — with members taking part in home invasions, car-jackings, armed robberies, drug rips, shootings, violent assaults of rivals and murders. Redd Alert is known to have alliances with other gangs.

The Game Tight Soldiers first popped up on police radar in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside in late 2007. Since then, according to police, members have been known to take part in a wide variety of crimes including threats, stabbings, intimidations, assaults, shootings and murders. The gang is not composed of a single ethnicity and is known to be affiliated with the Prince George Renegades, a puppet club for the Vancouver Eastside Hells Angels. Since 2009, GTS has been active in Prince George.

Scotchman and David went after Tremblay, their main target, while Johnny attacked Lepretre.

David began swinging an aluminium baseball bat at Tremblay, who was able to wrestle the weapon away and fend off his attackers.

Lepretre, mean-

while, was taking a violent beating. The 23-year-old was overcome by Johnny and suffered multiple stab wounds.

Johnny would later boast to a friend about “punching” Lepretre repeatedly with a knife in each hand before delivering a fatal stab

wound to his neck.

“All three males walked out of the gate and one male told Tremblay that he needed to go take care of Lepretre,” the agreed statement of facts reads.

“They left westbound on Battle Street.”

Mohamod Shaa Tremblay (right) stood with police on March 22, 2011, as emergency crews tried to revive his cousin, Archie Lepretre, in the background.

The information in this story comes from two agreed statements of fact filed by lawyers in B.C. Supreme Court ahead of sentencing for Travis Johnny and Anthony Scotchman. Additional materials are expected to be filed later.

driving past the scene as the murder took place would later tell police he saw the three assailants, uninjured, walking toward Second Avenue. *** An autopsy was performed on Lepretre’s body the following day.

The pathologist’s report listed two major findings.

The first was a stab wound to the left neck — a gash that caused injury to his carotid artery, jugular vein and esophagus.

Secondary were stab wounds to his scalp, the left side of his face, both sides of his chest and his left arm. *** After the attack, Tremblay rushed to Lepretre, lying bleeding in the corner of the basketball court. He grabbed his cousin’s cellphone.

At 4:44 p.m., Tremblay used the phone to call 911 to report the stabbing and waited for emergency crews to arrive.

“Tremblay had blood covering both

involvement in the murder. She called a family member and left the Dream Lodge Suites.” *** Johnny had been on the lookout for rival GTS gangsters for days prior to Lepretre’s murder.

Weeks after the slaying, police obtained text messages from a phone belonging to one of Johnny’s associates, Kim Quewezance.

A text from Quewezance four days before the murder alerted Johnny to the fact GTS members were in Kamloops.

“GTS in town, bro,” the text reads.

“Just drove past us on the strip, bro. F--ing Shaw [Tremblay] and Archie [Lepretre] and some other clown.”

Johnny responded nine minutes later.

“OK, let’s do this s--t,” he replied. “I’ll grab the thing.”

The text conversation spanned hours.

“Text or call me if anything is going to go down,” Johnny wrote Quewezance.

hands from about two inches from his wrists down, as well as blood on the thigh and knees of his jean shorts and on top of his shoes,” the agreed statement of facts reads.

“There was an aluminium baseball bat with blood on it lying in a pile of leaves. There appeared to be blood spatters on the west wall of the basketball court.”

Tremblay was interviewed by police. He admitted to being a GTS member and said he did not know who the masked attackers were, other than that they were Redd Alert gangsters.

In his interview with police, Tremblay said he and Lepretre were unarmed.

“When asked, Tremblay stated that neither he nor Lepretre were wearing any clothing that would associate them to GTS,” the agreed statement of facts reads.

“Tremblay went on to say that he had only been back in town a couple weeks and

doesn’t think he is wellknown in Kamloops. He confirmed that Lepretre is not a member of the GTS.” *** After the murder, Scotchman returned to the Aberdeen hotel where he had been staying with Rachael Tremblay, the mother of his newborn child and a relative of Lepretre.

Rachael Tremblay told police Scotchman left between 4 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. and returned less than two hours later.

“Shortly after Scotchman returned to the Dream Lodge Suites, he changed his clothing — took off a red hoody and put on a grey collared sweater,” the agreed statement of facts reads.

“A short while later, she received a phone call telling her about Lepretre’s murder.

Scotchman asked her what happened and she pushed him away, telling him to stay away from her.

“At this point, Rachael Tremblay felt Scotchman had

“Yeah, I think I might know where they at, so I’m going to go scope this s--t out, yo,” Quewezance replied.

“OK, good, because it’s going down tonight,” Johnny texted.

“Still no sight of these faggots,” Quewezance texted back. “I’m still hunting, though, bro.” *** Johnny was arrested on Dec. 6, 2013.

Scotchman was taken into custody four months later.

Both men were charged with one count each of murder and committing an offence for a criminal organization.

In November, Johnny and Scotchman entered guilty pleas — Johnny to seconddegree murder, Scotchman to manslaughter. The Crown dropped the organizedcrime charges last summer.

Scotchman is slated to begin his sentencing hearing today. Johnny, meanwhile, is expected to learn his fate next month.

Kamloops This Week With an ER doctor for a Thursdays brother-in-law and other sibFeb. lings25in the health-care field, Mar. 10, 17 Dan3, Nead has listened to a lot of talk about issues like a lack of doctorsXacross the country.

4.3125” 6.071” 255 Nead Lines didn’t follow his family members into their profession, instead the world of (3opting columns X 85for lines) high finance and commodity trading.

“I listened to their stories and couldn’t figure out why it’s a mess,” Nead said.

He decided the solution lay in technology — and MedviewMD Inc. was created, a private company focused on telemedicine and which will soon open locations in Kamloops at Kleo’s Pharmacy in Valleyview and Kipp-Mallery Pharmacy downtown.

Each has created what the company calls a studio — a separate area staffed with a nurse practitioner or registered nurse and an assistant.

There’s an array of equipment included, from a camera that can be used to look for an ear infection to the basics of medical visits like a stethoscope and blood pressure monitor.

There’s also a computer and programming that links the studio to a doctor who can provide consultation and diagnoses in a virtual way. The hours of operation match those of the host pharmacies.

And, as with a doctor’s office, the visit is either paid for through the provincial medical-services programs or, if it’s something not covered, is charged at prices Nead said are competitive with other clinics.

Linking the locations to pharmacies provides a onestop opportunity, said Kleo Dimopolous, who opened his location in Valleyview next to the Starbuck’s a few months ago.

A person can come in, the paperwork is processed by the assistant, the nurse deals with the medical issue, completes the steps required and sends the information to the doctor, who can speak to the patient

through the computer and complete the assessment.

Health Minister Terry Lake sees the telemedicine model as part of the future of health care.

“If we do it properly,” he said.

“I don’t want to see virtual walk-in clinics, but it’s different if there is a nurse there who can do some tests and be more interactive, do things in depth.”

Saying he is cautiously optimistic, Lake noted he’s hoping to attend the local grand openings to see the process himself.

Dimopolous said he chose his location because there is a dentist, veterinary clinic and doctor in the area, as well as just one other drug store. He opted to expand with MedviewMD after one of its representatives visited him in December and outlined the program.

“There’s a shortage of physicians, and this seems like a win-win,” he said. “It’s not the cure-all but it can alleviate some stress on the system.”

Nead said his company chose pharmacies as the perfect location and has looked for those in high-need areas, adding the goal is to provide support “to existing health-care teams and emergency rooms” by locating in areas of need.

“We’re not there to compete,” he said. “We need to do this properly.”

There’s been a side benefit to the health-care system as MedviewMD has hired the nursing staff. Nead said he’s already hired one Ontario-born nurse who found work in the U.S., but will now return to her home province. He has also had contacts from others working outside Canada who want to come back.

Nead sees the telemedicine option as appealing to seniors in particular because they can go to their pharmacy to have health issues addressed and fill their prescriptions, rather than wait at the city’s heavily used walk-in clinics or at Royal Inland Hospital’s emergency room.

“Technology is a gamechanger,” he said. “It eliminates time and distance.”

While it can move forward with complicated health issues, Nead said, it can be used for diagnostics.

Plans are to open the two locations in the city within the next four weeks.

Dimopolous said if the demand is there, he’ll add Sunday hours to his pharmacy schedule.

Kamloops city council made a mistake when it voted to temporarily fix Todd Road in 2014, Mayor Peter Milobar said Tuesday, as council once again debated the timing of repairs to the Barnhartvale road.

City staff plans to spend $1.8 million upgrading the road in 2019, but residents at an open house last month complained that’s too long to wait for pedestrian safety improvements they’ve wanted for years.

Engineering manager Deven Matkowski said if council wants to improve Todd Road before 2019, it needs to raise taxes or postpone other roadworks to free up funding, including work on Valleyview Drive tied to the city’s purchase of the Owl Road Dump.

Coun. Arjun Singh said he wanted to see staff re-examine plans for the next four years

Milobar calls temporary fix in 2014 ‘the biggest mistake we made’ to determine if the project can be bumped up the list. But, after debate on his motion had begun, Singh said he wasn’t interested in changing the timing of the Todd Road project, but wanted to explain to residents why it wouldn’t happen sooner.

Milobar said the city’s open house last month was intended to do just that, noting Singh’s motion could end up further confusing the issue.

Council has already shuffled the timing of improvements on the roadway several times.

In 2014, city councillors voted to spend $750,000 to construct a shoulder on the road for pedestrians to use.

But, it eventually changed course after being told the work would be torn up in only a few years when the aging sewer infrastructure underneath it is

slated to be replaced.

“Frankly, the biggest mistake we made — and I voted for it — is we agreed to give them the temporary work and gave them false expectations,” Milobar, said, arguing council should stick with staff’s priorities.

Coun. Tina Lange said she doesn’t want to see the city appear to prioritize one neighbourhood over another.

“Bottom line is there aren’t accidents on that road and, for the past 30 years or however long that school has been there, kids have walked to school there and people have walked on that road,” she said.

Council voted 7-1 to stick to its 2019 timeline, with only Singh voting in favour of fasttracking the project.

Coun. Pat Wallace was absent.

Federal environment minister set to visit city Federal Environment Minister Catherine McKenna will likely be in Kamloops at the end of March to meet with city council and First Nations on the proposed Ajax mine.

Mayor Peter Milobar told council Tuesday he has been emailed

by McKenna’s staff with possible dates for her visit.

The city and Stk’emlupsemc te Secwepemc Nation,

which includes the Tk’emlups and Skeetchestn Indian bands, have asked McKenna to call for a panel review of the Ajax mine’s environmentalassessment application.

In a letter to council, McKenna said she is monitoring the current assessment for the mine “to ensure the process meets the commitments of this government to restore public trust.”

While she noted she

has the power to call for a panel review at any time, McKenna did not say she will do so on the Ajax file.

“Essentially, that’s a no to a panel review at this time,” Milobar said.

It won’t be the first time a federal minister has come to Kamloops to discuss a panel review. Conservative environment minister Peter Kent toured the Ajax site in 2012, but rejected calls for a change in process.

Guns seized, pair arrested Two men were arrested in Westsyde on Tuesday afternoon after police noticed two long-barrelled firearms clearly visible in the rear of the their vehicle.

Kamloops RCMP Sgt. Darren Michels said Mounties received a call at 5:20 p.m. about two suspicious males in a vehicle near a home on Sandpiper Drive.

Michels said when officers arrived, they came across the men with weapons in the vehicle.

The men were arrested in connection to possession of stolen property obtained by a crime, unlawful possession of a firearm and theft.

They were released and will appear in court later this month pending charges from Crown.

EVERYONE MUST DO THEIR PART

L

ast week’s safety meeting at the Hotel 540, hosted by the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association following its annual general meeting, was an eye-opener of sorts for those who may not pay close attention to issues challenging the downtown.

The association invited a number of representatives from various agencies dedicated to keeping the downtown — and Kamloops as a whole — safe.

And the downtown area is safe.

However, as with any area in any city, there are various issues that need addressing.

In the core of the Tournament Capital, the issues that arrive at the city’s bylaws department more than any other have to do with vagrancy and panhandling.

There was plenty of understanding on display at the meeting — and it helped to have the rational viewpoint of ASK Wellness’s Ken Salter, who for 16 years has worked closely with the city’s homeless population.

But while retailers do understand the homeless and panhandlers downtown are there because of a host of underlying issues, the fact remains some do create significant problems for businesses on a day-to-day basis.

Some impressive ideas were bounced around, including Salter suggesting Kamloops could follow the lead of other cities, where the homeless get the use of donated lock boxes in which to store their property.

Such an idea, he said, has led to fewer shopping carts piled high with possessions clogging sidewalks and business doorways.

In the end, however, the solution to problems comes down to a collective effort to do something about it — be it banding together to install lighting and video cameras, agreeing to keep an eye on each other’s stores, getting to know those who frequent the shop and being clear on who to call (police or bylaws) when problems arise.

All that work for little pay

M

y hubby does a lot of work around the house, definitely more these

days than I do.

It’s unpaid work, of course, the kind that has to be done to keep a family cared for and safe.

That reality does not exist for too many women, researchers found as they investigated and prepared Making Women Count: The Unequal Economics of Women’s Work.

The report, released earlier this week, was created by Oxfam Canada and the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives and calls for significant government action and legislation to rectify the situation.

The study says women do an average of 3.9 hours of unpaid work every day — down from 4.2 hours two decades ago — while men do an average of 2.4 hours daily.

That reality means women are more likely to look for work — often part-time — to fit with their child- and home-care responsibilities, work that is often paid at minimum or low wages. While women’s education levels are, on average, better than those of men, women make up 59 per cent of minimumwage employees.

It’s worse for immigrant and aboriginal women, the study shows. Immigrant women’s employment levels are seven per cent behind Canadian women — and 14 per cent behind immigrant men — while aboriginal women’s employment rates are 11 per cent behind Canadian women and five per cent behind aboriginal men.

It’s not a good time to be a young person looking for a job, the research showed. Looking at those

DALE BASS

Street

LEVEL younger than 25, a demographic that comprised an equal number of men and women, only 44 per cent of young women have fulltime jobs, compared to 60 per cent of men in that age group.

If you’re a senior, however, odds are you’re looking for a job, since the study found for Canadians between 65 and 69 years old, employment rates have increased by four per cent in the past seven years.

Release of the report is timely, given the country again this week marked International Women’s Day, a day that highlights the fact too many women continue to be underpaid and undervalued.

It’s also well-timed considering renewed discussion at all government levels in the country about the need for a guaranteed basic income, with federal Minister of Families, Children and Social Development Jean-Yves Duclos — an economist — charged with investigating the concept.

Duclos co-wrote a research paper four years ago on the merits of such a plan, but also warned implementation would be costly and could impact the workforce.

Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi

and his counterpart in Edmonton, Don Iveson, are in favour.

The provincial Liberal party running for election in Manitoba has echoed the Justin Trudeau-led federal Liberals, who promised in the last federal election to tackle poverty and work with provinces to fix the shattered social-safety nets.

It’s not a new idea; the municipal government of Dauphin, Man., was part of a project that ensured everyone who lived there from 1974 to 1979 received a minimum income. The city is now heralded as having eliminated poverty during those five years although, with a change in provincial and federal governments in 1979 — both went Conservative — the project was abandoned and no final report was written.

The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives does a regular Living Wage Index Update report and the most recent, in 2012, said a living wage for Kamloops should be $17.95 per hour.

The Oxfam report makes its own recommendations on what to do about the imbalance of incomes between men and women, including changes to the tax system and analyzing public policies for gender biases. It also calls for affordable and accessible child care, better funding for elder care and universal health and education.

They’re laudable ideas, but not likely to see much movement any time soon — and for years to come, we’ll keep on celebrating International Women’s Day by releasing similar documents pointing out the same issues.

But at least the subject is being looked at in Ottawa.

It’s a start. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

SUPPORT FOR TRUMP AN EYE-OPENER Editor: I read with horror the results of last week’s Kamloops This Week online reader poll: If you could vote, which candidate would get your nod as Republican candidate?

Unbelievably, Donald Trump came out on top with more than double the votes received by any other can-

didate. I seriously thought it was a joke but, no, it appears to be a valid poll, given the 975 responses.

I was already well aware the Kamloops area is pretty conservative, but to think some of my neighbours and fellow Kamloops citizens agree with the intolerance, hatred and divisive politics put forth by Trump is a real eye-opener.

Please people, get your news from somewhere besides CNN and FOX. Trump’s red hats are a harbinger of Hitler’s brown shirts.

His supporters are commonly duped into agreeing with remarks made by Hitler, disguised as quotes by Trump — if The Donald says so, it must be right.

These scenarios are easily found on YouTube.

Misinformed followers of a megalomaniac like Trump become even more dangerous than the leader spewing the fear, hatred and intolerance.

I am so disappointed.

The Brocklehurst outdoor pool is due for about $206,000 in upgrades next year to improve its heating and filtration systems, McCorkell said.

However, Kamloops Tsunami Swim Club treasurer Kathleen Karpuk said the city could be missing out on more revenue if it closes the pool.

Karpuk said the pool, which acts as the Tsunami’s home base, is permanent host of the B.C. Summer Swim Association’s Okanagan regional competition because it’s a rare eightlane competition-sized pool with ample space for judges and a large green area nearby for competitors and families.

While the 70-member club does use the Tournament Capital Centre for winter training, Karpuk said it can’t get as much time in the water as it would like because the Canada Games Aquatic Centre at the TCC is in high

Last night’s meeting at NorKam senior secondary took place after KTW deadline, but a recap of the event can be found online at kamloopsthisweek.com.

The following is from Monday night’s meeting at Parkcrest elementary.

demand. If the outdoor pool closes, she said finding the kind of water time her swimmers need would be impossible.

“Without that, our club will die,” Karpuk said.

Patrick Waters, a para-swimmer who has also coached for the Tsunamis, asked whether the city could put a second ice sheet in Brocklehurst without having to fill in the pool to do so.

McCorkell said that would be possible, though the cheapest configuration would be one that puts the new rink’s ice plant next to the existing machinery at the arena, which is located in the middle of the building, on the side nearest the pool.

“Physically, we could put the box anywhere,” he said.

Other residents expressed concerns that removing the pool would make it difficult for their children to get swimming lessons, either because they would need to be driven to a new facility or because they are already having trouble getting spots in the city’s existing

programs.

“It’s already brutal to get your kids into swimming lessons,” said Tara Garrioch, the woman behind an online petition to save the Brocklehurst pool that has garnered more than 1,500 signatures.

Garrioch believes a field house on McArthur Island would make more sense than a new pool.

The city next takes its recreation discussions to Sandman Centre’s Parkside Lounge on Tuesday, March 15, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Should city have taken deeper look?

In hindsight, said Kamloops’ parks, recreation and culturalservices director Byron McCorkell, cutting into the roof at Westsyde Pool to check for moisture damage could have alerted the city to the extent of the damage in the building years earlier.

However, McCorkell told residents at a public meeting in Brocklehurst on Monday night, the city thought at the time it could solve its issues at the pool facility through other means.

“Do you rip the roof off your bathroom if you’ve got moisture in there?” McCorkell asked.

A 2005 report on the city’s pools, now available online at kamloops. ca, noted condensation in the pool’s ceiling as a potential issue “that may contribute to the decay of the roof structure, shortening the useful life of the main structural members.”

McCorkell said the city believed at the time the problem could be solved by reducing moisture in the building.

Ripping into the roof — which McCorkell said was the only way to see the structural damage that led to Westsyde’s closure last summer — was not considered an obvious course of action.

“Hindsight is 500 per cent better than we have now,” he said. “But the consultants of the day told us what to do and we did that.”

Repairing the pool would cost the city about $3 million, McCorkell said, with $5 million in repairs required to fully solve the issues which led to the roof damage and extend the pool’s life for another 50 years.

SUPERZEROES COMES FULL CIRCLE FOR COOPER DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

I

f Andrew Cooper had found his high-school marketing class a bit more interesting, his life could have been different than it is today.

But, the founder of Chimera Theatre said, despite plans to go into business — hence the marketing class in Grade 11 in Salmon Arm — he didn’t like it at all, expressing that dislike to a fellow student.

“He told me about a spot in the musical theatre class,” Cooper said, “and it was D block, which was also marketing, so I switched out and into it.”

The school play that year was West Side Story, a classic musical with music by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim.

“I think I was the only one in the room who didn’t know who Stephen Sondheim was or what the play was about,” Cooper said, but, within a few rehearsals, “I was hooked.”

Dance lessons followed, then heading to Thompson Rivers University to study theatre and now, a recent graduate, Cooper created Chimera Theatre last year.

Since then, it has presented productions for the Tranquille Tunnel Tours, is in the midst of an ongoing series of improvisational comedy through its The Freudian Slips, The Trial of Walter Boyd James last fall, as well as plays last November and February.

On Wednesday,

SuperZeroes opened at Pavilion Theatre — and Cooper found himself in a new situation.

As playwright, he handed over the directing reins to fellow TRU graduate Brittany McCarthy, who is creating a production that surprises and amazed him as he sat in on rehearsals.

Cooper drew inspiration from the comic books of his childhood and from the recent resurgence of Marvel heroes.

“You don’t see superheroes on the stage,” he said. “It’s not that easy. So the challenge of writing this in essence was to do a superhero show on a stage.”

The solution?

“I gave them mundane powers, pretty lame ones, and now they have to find their place in the world.”

One, for example, has the power to turn lights on and off — an ability that comes in

normals and supers and how we’re “allIt’sjustabout humans and there’s this big divide.

And the hope is to get people back together.”

— ANDREW COOPER

handy later.

In the world he’s created, even superheroes have a class system and his characters are the lowest, including one girl who has no power, making her

“a zero trying to find a place in this society.”

The bigger message, Cooper said, is to focus on race and class issues.

“It’s about normals and supers and how

we’re all just humans but there’s this big divide. And the hope is to get people back together.”

When they leave the show, the audience will feel entertained, he said, from the comedy, the fight scenes, the wacky costumes and the story itself.

“But if you think about it, if you reflect, our regular world has the same issues as the Zeroes, only in a different way.”

Cooper is proud

he’s able to pay everyone working on the production, even though it’s just an honorarium and is dependent on the box-office receipts.

Many who graduate from the theatre program at TRU “feel they need to move to Vancouver or Calgary,” he said, “but we have enough here. You can do it. There’s a love for art in this city.”

The play, suitable for as young as eight, is at Pavilion Theatre to

Saturday.

Ticket are $18 for general admission and are available at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025, Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kamloopslive.ca.

Showtime is 7:30 p.m. and the play is about two hours long with an intermission.

Ironically, Cooper added, he’s come full circle back to what sent him in the theatrical direction — he’s in charge of marketing the play.

ristina Fiedrich was in the first cohort of fine-arts graduates at Thompson Rivers University — and she’s looking forward to showing some of her teachers how her art has developed in the past decade.

Fiedrich, who now lives in Vancouver, is the production manager for The Body Eclectic: Exploring the Diversity of Bodily Being, a three-day event at Thompson Rivers University.

She will also have a solo exhibit of her work, about 25 pieces that “show a sense of progress in my work and also serves as a tool to show how a practice evolves.”

While she’s mainly a drawing-based artist, Fiedrich said she also works with watercolours, “but not in a traditional sense.”

The exhibit will be in the art gallery in the Old Main Building just

The colloquium opens on Friday at 5 p.m. with registration and the official opening of her exhibition.

On Saturday, various panels and Gillis’s keynote address will be presented during the day at the Mountain Room in the Campus

Activity Centre.

On Sunday, the group moves to the Terrace Room in the International Building for panel presentations and Romanyshyn’s address.

Keynote speakers at the symposium include Margie Gillis, a Canadian dancer and choreographer, and Robert Romanyshyn,

Fiedrich said the event will look at various aspects on having a body, “the expansiveness of how we can engage with our body” and the impact of trauma and aging.

“What happens with our body when it seems to fail us?” she said.

“How do we overcome trauma and not let it impact on our lives? As we age, there are things that happen we have no control over.”

Fiedrich said she and TRU instructor Terryl Atkins have been planning an event like this for some time, and she’s eager to return to her alma matter for it.

Having obtained two master’s degrees after graduating from TRU, Fiedrich said her time on the Kamloops campus was one of her best educational experiences.

“It will be nice to come back and show some of the faculty who are still there who taught me how I’ve grown as a person and as an artist.”

elen McFadyen says that, while you can’t legislate kindness, you can model it for others.

That’s the motivation for Across the Rainbow, an event tonight at The Art We Are, 246 Victoria St., the recently arrived minister has organized.

The evening features Ottawa folk singer and social activist Tony Turner, who is touring the province.

While Turner has been writing and singing songs for many years, his fame peaked for a recent song, Harperman, a protest song that saw the federal government scientist suspended from his job when he released it last June.

In October, he retired rather than wait for an investigator to decide if the song breached the federal government’s ethics code for public servants.

McFadyen, minister with the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Kamloops, said the evening is designed to celebrate and build bridges of inclusion for people who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning (LGBTQ).

Money raised will go to Safe Spaces, a local program for LGBTQ youth.

atharine Pendrel looks right at home in the photo posted on her Facebook page, covered in mud and drenched in rain, rejoicing in every pedal revolution, soaking it all in with a smile.

There is a euphoric-looking expression on her face, a good sign for the legion of Canadian mountainbiking fans in her corner.

“After London and being so disappointed with that performance, you kind of evaluate if you can invest that much energy in what you do again,” Pendrel said. “Your confidence gets shaken a little bit. You think you’re good and you find out you’re not as good as you wanted to be. That did shake me, but I was able to overcome that.

“It was about finding joy in the sport again and not letting one disappointment colour everything else that has been really wonderful in what I’ve done.”

The ninth-place finish at the 2012 Olympic Summer Games in London — she entered the competition as the world’s No. 1-ranked rider — was put even further in Pendrel’s rearview mirror after another strong season last year.

Pendrel, who won the 2014 world mountain biking championship, finished fourth overall in the 2015 World Cup standings, won silver at the Pan Am Games in Toronto and claimed her sixth national title in Saint Felicien, Que. In the Facebook photo, the 35-year-old Kamloops resident is racing alongside Emily Batty — who seems equally invigorated by the miserable weather conditions — at a Team Canada training camp in Victoria on the weekend, shifting into high gear on the road to Rio 2016.

Pendrel has already booked her spot on the Canadian mountain biking team heading to Brazil for the Olympics in August. Batty, from Oshawa, Ont., is a safe bet to be the second female on the squad.

The Team Canada training camp lasted about two weeks and gave riders a chance to meet with sports psychologists, listen to speakers and dieticians, receive media training and do interviews that will air during the Olympics.

More importantly, it gave them a chance to ride together and plan ahead with head coach Dan Proulx. Devising a schedule that has Pendrel and Batty peaking at the right time will be key to their success.

“You look at your entire year and you go to your peak

Kamloops resident Catharine Pendrel wrapped up a Team Canada training camp in Victoria last weekend and is gearing up for the mountain-biking season ahead. The 2016 Olympic Summer Games are just around the next berm and Pendrel is planning to peak in Rio.

event and work backward, in terms of what you need to do in your training to be where you want to be on the day,” Pendrel said. “We’ve done that. There might be a race or two that I will not attend that typically I wouldn’t want to miss in another year.”

The plan for now is to compete at each of the six World Cup stops: Cairns, Australia, on April 23 and April 24; Albstadt, Germany, on May 21 and May 22; La Bresse, France, on May 28 and May 29; Lenzerheide, Switzerland, on July 9 and July 10; Mont-Saint-Anne, Que., on Aug. 6 and Aug. 7; and Vallnord, Andorra, on Sept 3. and Sept. 4.

Mixed into the fray are the Union Cycliste Internationale Mountain Bike World Championships, which run from June 28 to July 3 in Nove Mesto na Morave, Czech Republic.

Pendrel had a chance to sample the Rio course — the same one that will be used in the Games on Aug. 20 and Aug. 21 — with Canadian teammates at a test run in October.

“I would anticipate that there will be some changes, but we got to know the flavour of the course, the type of riding and features and, in that respect, it’s very similar to London.

It’s the same manager for the cycling event,” Pendrel said, noting her team will be prepared for high race-day temperatures in Brazil, should the mercury rise.

“The climbs aren’t as steep as you typically see in World Cup mountain bike racing. Really ensuring I can deliver the flat-land power, as well as on the climbs, will be important.

But knowing the course doesn’t affect the way I train dramatically. If you want to be the best in the world, you have to be able to be the best on any course.”

Pendrel, a Fredericton native, welcomed her parents to Kamloops in November and spent quality time with them, a rare treat given her hectic schedule.

Training never stopped, but much of the fall and winter was spent recharging her batteries for the 2016 season that has now arrived.

Two U.S. Cup races — in San Dimas, Calif., on April 9, and Monterey, Calif., on April 16 — and a camp with her LUNA Chix Pro teammates are next on the slate and then it’s off to Oz for stop No. 1 on the World Cup circuit.

“The Olympics are on my mind, for sure, but it’s definitely about more than just the Olympics,” Pendrel said. “Right now, I’m thinking about the first event, and the first World Cup, and all the little things that come before that will tell me if I’m on track.”

Local fans will be following her each step of the way, but Pendrel will have to forgive them if they don’t share her mental discipline — it’s tough to look away when the podium in Rio is on the horizon.

Pendrel is a two-time world champion, a two-time World Cup series winner, a Commonwealth Games gold medallist, a Pan Am Games gold medallist and she placed fourth at the 2008 Beijing Games.

Olympic hardware is just about the only thing that’s managed to escape her grasp, but she is hoping third time’s the charm.

“I’ve talked to several athletes who have been to multiple Olympics and they always say the second is the hardest,” Pendrel said. “The first one you just go in and you’re like, “I just have to do my best. This is amazing,’ and you don’t put that extra pressure on yourself and you perform like you’re capable of.

“The second one you put a lot more pressure on yourself and maybe don’t find what you’re looking for.

“The third one you can go and do the race that you want.”

It’s hard for Scott Reeves to pinpoint the biggest lesson learned in Edmonton.

Having lost in back to back games against the Alberta Pandas — 77-48 in Game 1 and 62-56 in Game 2 — the head coach of the women’s basketball program at Thompson Rivers University said it was still too early to pull lessons from the season’s finish when he spoke with KTW yesterday.

“I don’t have an answer to that,” he said. “We’ve made playoffs five years in a row and we’ve lost out in the quarters. It’s going to take an extra effort in the off-season here to improve our game, to improve our fitness, our strength.

“We basically just have to come back better players.”

Thompson Rivers finished the 2015-2016 campaign with a 15-5 record, second in the Explorer Division to the MacEwan Griffins, after capturing their first division title last season.

But as has happened every season since they first qualified for the playoffs in 2011-2012, the Wolves were bounced in the first round. Their defeat came at the hands of the third-place Pandas, a 17-3 team ranked No. 7 in the country.

“I don’t think we took anything for granted, I don’t think we were underprepared, it’s just Alberta’s a very good team,” Reeves said, reflecting on the series. “They’ve been in the top 10 all year for a reason, it’s not like they were going to be an easy out for us. We had to bring it and were on their home floor, which always makes it tougher.

“They’re just a very good basketball team.”

The end of the season marks the loss of four players, three of whom have played pivotal roles for the Pack in their tenures at TRU. Guards Taiysa Worsfold and Sarah Malate wrap up fiveyear careers and forward Kassie Colonna, who led the WolfPack

Taiysa Worsfold has played her last basketball game in TRU WolfPack colours. TRU was bounced from the Canada West post-season and she is among the graduating WolfPack players.

in points per game and was second in rebounds per game this season, is walking away after four seasons.

Third-year guard Jenna Quinton is also finished, her final two years of eligibility the victim of a career-ending knee injury.

The rest of the team should return, including starting point guard Emma Piggin, who led the club in rebounds and was second in scoring en route to a nod as a Canada West all-star.

“The core of our kids were still second and third year — over half of our team is quite young still,” Reeves said.

“So I think every time we can make the playoffs and we’re in this situation where we’re playing top 10 teams in the country, I think it gives us a benchmark of what we actually have to do to raise our level of play

going into playoffs, in order to advance to a Final Four and, one day, a national championship.”

The stated goal hasn’t lived up to the performance of late and Reeves admitted to being frustrated with another quarterfinal exit this season.

Still, he hoped his roster could learn something from its experience in Alberta, even if it will take some time to figure out those lessons.

“Obviously, any time you lose and you’re not in the national championship, you’re obviously, at some level, frustrated,” he said.

“But, we have to take these steps and get better each and every year and we have, statistically, gotten better each and every year. So we’re looking to do that again next year and hopefully go farther.”

Clark named coach of year The WolfPack men’s basketball team has collected another accolade.

Head coach Scott Clark was named the Canada West’s coach of the year yesterday morning, his first time receiving the award in 15 seasons

in the conference.

Clark is in the midst of his sixth season at the helm of the men’s basketball program at Thompson Rivers University, his most successful season to date.

He previously coached for 10 sea-

sons at Simon Fraser University.

Thompson Rivers finished the regular season with a 16-4 record in 2015-2016 and will appear in its first Canada West Final Four this week in Calgary after defeating the Regina Cougars in

a best-of-three quarterfinal last weekend.

The Wolves will face the UBC Thunderbirds in their semifinal matchup tomorrow and can earn a berth at the Canadian Interuniversity Sport national championship with a victory.

Cheryl Pounder, who won two Olympic gold medals with the Canadian women’s hockey team, paid a surprise visit to Memorial Arena on Tuesday and celebrated International Women’s Day by speaking to a shocked group of female midget A Kamloops Blazers. RBC organized the event.

Smillie heading to Hall The second individual going into the Kamloops Sports Hall of Fame this year is Bob Smillie, a valued member of the sports community since the 1970s.

Smillie is well known for his work as executive director of the Kamloops Blazers Sports Society, overseeing a 10-person board entrusted with dispensing thousands of dollars to the sports community through annual interest accrued from the $7-million sale of the major-junior hockey club in 2007.

Read more about Smillie online at kamloopsthisweek.com.

Blazers’ notes

The Kamloops Blazers were on a fourgame winning streak heading into a game against the hometown Spokane Chiefs played last night after KTW’s press deadline.

Kamloops, which will almost certainly qualify for the WHL’s post-season, downed Tri-City 6-2 in Kennewick, Wash., on Tuesday.

For more on the Blazers, read tomorrow’s edition of KTW. In other news, Kamloops netminder Connor Ingram was named Vaughn CHL Goaltender of the Week for the period ending March 6 and

former Blazers Scott Niedermayer and Peter Soberlak have been honoured with WHL Alumni Achievement Awards as part of the league’s 50th season celebrations.

Provincial results

The B.C. Speed Skating Short Track Championships concluded on the weekend at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre and the host Kamloops Long Blades fared well in a number of age classes.

Teagan Lawhead was fifth among 10-year-old males, while Vlad Demishkevich was second and Cameron Thomas was ninth among 11-year-old males.

Isaiah Jessie Uribe finished fifth in the 13-year-old male division and Thomas Keijzer placed sixth in the 19-year-old male category.

Leah Turner was third among 11-yearold females, while Martina Antifay was second in the 12-year-

old female division.

Holly Antifay finished third among 15-year-old females.

Martina Antifay will compete at the Canada West Short Track Championships in Edmonton on March 19 and March 20.

Skip Jim Cotter and Team B.C. were 2-5 at the Tim Hortons Brier in Ottawa as of KTW’s press deadline yesterday.

Cotter, from Kamloops, and his Vernon Curling Club rink were scheduled to play Mike McEwen of Manitoba last night, looking to bounce back from a 7-2 loss to Kevin Koe and Alberta yesterday morning.

Team B.C. is scheduled to play twice today — at 3:30 a.m. against Newfoundland and Labrador and at 8:30 a.m. versus the Northwest Territories.

Northern Ontario was undefeated at 7-0 and atop the standings heading into last night’s draws.

Newfoundland and Labrador was in second place at 6-1.

Chelsea dagger

Zlatan Ibrahimovic demonstrated his enduring attacking threat yesterday by steering Paris SaintGermain into the Champions League quarter-finals with a goal and an assist in a 2-1 victory at Chelsea.

By replicating the first-leg triumph in the French capital last month, PSG eliminated Chelsea for the second successive season in the round of 16.

While the Super Bowl winner lost its second quarterback in less than a week, the loser of the big game held on to two key performers.

With Peyton Manning retired, his supposed successor Brock Osweiler heading to Houston, defensive end Malik Jackson going to Jacksonville, and linebacker Danny Trevathan now in Chicago, the Denver Broncos clearly have been weakened. At least Super Bowl MVP Von Miller has been franchise tagged and won’t be going anywhere.

Meanwhile, Carolina, which fell 24-10 to Denver in the Super Bowl retained All-Pro fullback Mike Tolbert and re-signed

Free-agent frenzy defensive end Charles Johnson to a lower salary yesterday.

Exploring Golden

Urban trails, pathways attract outdoor enthusiasts near and far IF YOU GO

TERESA CLINE

SPECIAL TO KTW

teresathetraveler.com

N

estled in the Rocky Mountain Trench on the banks of the Kicking Horse River, the town of Golden is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts.

Boasting an extensive network of urban trails and pathways, tourists enjoy exploring the town by foot or bike.

A great place to start an adventure in Golden is the Kicking Horse Pedestrian Bridge located in Golden’s BC Spirit Square.

Opened on Nov. 10, 2009, the square is a legacy of the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Crown Colony of British Columbia.

Completed in September 2001 as a community project by the Timber Framers Guild, this is the longest freestanding timber frame bridge in Canada.

Volunteers from Golden were joined by carpenters and timber framers from the United States and from Europe to construct the 150feet (46-metre) long, covered bridge with a 210,000-pound Burr arch structure.

Cross the bridge and embark on the 10-kilometre Rotary Loop.

Much of the trail follows the south bank of the Kicking Horse River before travelling parallel to the airport and over to the municipal campground, where you can do a quick workout in the outdoor Green Gym before making your way back to the river to complete the loop.

Should you want to shorten your loop at any point, there are plenty of opportunities to cut through town and get back on the trail.

A trail map is located in Spirit Square along with a story about the building of the covered bridge and a brief history of covered bridges.

Golden is located on the Trans Canada Highway between Revelstoke and Banff.

History of Covered Bridges

As beautiful as they are, the original covered bridges were built not for aesthetics, but for utility.

Created before the advent of steel beams, the bridge cover protected wooden trusses and decks from snow and rain, thus preventing decay and rot and extending the bridge life from 20 to 100 years.

The barn-like design also prevented herded livestock from being spooked by the waters underneath.

Covered bridges also served as shelter for weary travellers, venues for political rallies and town meetings and as a rendezvous place for lovers.

While they date back to as far as 780 BC in Ancient Babylon and were used for many centuries in China, they did not make their way to North America until 1804, when American engineer Theodore Burr built the first one in Connecticut.

The Waterford Bridge spanned the Hudson River in New York lasting for 105 years.

The longest covered bridge in history was built in 1814 in Lancaster County, Penn. The 5,590-foot bridge was destroyed in 1832 by ice and high water.

The Hartland Bridge in New Brunswick holds the current record of world’s longest covered bridge.

Opened on July 4, 1901, the 1,282foot long bridge spans the Saint John River from Hartland to Somerville.

Originally built for horse-drawn wagons, a pedestrian walkway was added in 1945.

Superstition states it is good luck to hold one’s breath the entire way while driving across it.

The approximate 3,700-person southeastern B.C. community of Golden is home to trails (above) and a historic covered bridge (left). Those who make the four-hour drive from Kamloops can enjoy the outdoors and learn about the 150-foot span, complete with a 210,000-pound Burr arch structure.

John married Gertrude Davenport on December 22, 1950 at St. Mary’s in Kerrisdale, Vancouver.

John went to the Forest Service Training School for Forest Rangers graduating in 1947 and spent a career of 36 years working for the B.C. Forest Service. John spent his final 22 years as the Forest Ranger in the Ashcroft Ranger District earning him the nickname “Drybelt John”, retiring in 1980.

John was an avid rock hound for many years making jewelry and clocks with some of his cut up and polished finds. He also built rock walls, enjoyed gardening and photography. Shortly after his retirement John and Gert became snowbirds, living in Desert Hot Springs, California for over 20 winters while traveling extensively around the southwest states on their trips back and forth from B.C. to California.

John is survived by his son Bruce (Mary), his youngest son Ross (Leilani), one sister Zelma and numerous nieces, nephews, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

He was predeceased by his wife Gert, his brother Bill and sisters Mildred and Shirley.

John asked that there be no service.

The family would like to thank the staff at Berwick on the Park and Gemstone for the level of care and kindness John received in the last years and days of his life.

GEORGE MUIR

September 11, 1934 – March 1, 2016 George was born in Ashcroft to parents George Muir and Bessie Louise Pratt of Barnhartvale. He moved to Pine St. and attended Lloyd George Elementary from 1941-1945 and delivered the Kamloops newspaper.

George met and married his wife Marion in 1957 in Boston Bar, where he was working in the logging industry. They ran cattle on Robbins Range in Barnhartvale until he purchased his own lumber truck, often hauling lumber from Merritt to build structures at the original Tod Mountain Ski Hill, eventually building a home on Dairy Road in Westsyde. In 1976 he found his passion in farming and bought a large piece of the McLure Valley where the farming continued until 2012, retiring in Barriere. There he volunteered for the Barriere Fall Fair with Big Al. George is survived by his oldest sister Sheila Pattershut and youngest sister Moyra (La Ron) both of Kamloops.

HELEN ISABELLE POLLARD 1934 - 2016

Helen Pollard of Kamloops passed away on Saturday, March 5, 2016 at 82 years of age. Her memory will be treasured by her loving husband David Pollard, daughter Debbie (Ken) Kelly of Clinton, BC, son Bobby (Stephen) Pollard of Langley, BC, grandsons Jason Pollard of Vancouver, BC and Christopher Pollard of Kelowna, BC, daughter Shelly Nelson of Chilliwack, BC, grandchildren Nikki (Dave) McDonald, Chrissy Nelson, Mitchelle Nelson and great-granddaughter Kirea, brother Ernie (Connie) Ruckle, brothers-in-law Gerry Pollard and Gordon (Sharon) Pollard, and sister-in-law Francis (Brent) Pollard. Helen was predeceased by her parents Cecile and Della Ruckle, brothers Harold and Eddie Ruckle, sister-in-law Margaret Pollard, and brotherin-law Bruce (Verna) Pollard.

Helen Pollard was born in 1934, and married David Pollard May 20th,1954. They traveled the province of BC for David’s construction work until 1960 when their feet landed in Savona, BC. In Savona, David worked for West Coast Transmission as Helen began exercising the first of her entrepreneurial adventures by starting the first kindergarten in Savona. Soon she moved on to managing the Savona Cafe for three years. After moving to Kamloops, Helen started her uniform business called: Town Talk Uniforms, with stores in Kamloops, Prince George and Calgary. This is where she learned to “put-the-pedal-to-the-metal”. 1979 brought Helen to Coquitlam where she bought the local ‘Mr. Mikes’ franchise that kept her more than a little busy for seven-years.

After Mr. Mikes, Helen retired in Savona, BC. However, even after retiring, Helen still went into many other business enterprises. She also went on be President of Savona Heritage enjoying her many volunteer hours there.

Helen’s laughter was contagious and will remain happily in our minds...you could hear her throughout a crowded room. Helen’s love for her family and friends; her love for her wine with those friends, as such friends often became family. Her family, included those adopted

by Helen and David, often calling Helen by many names including: Mom, Auntie and Gramma Helen. Most of all, Helen loved spreading her adoring attention on her grandchildren and greatgrandchild.

Helen’s love of her garden as a hobby that she cherished along with playing the piano, and teaching Jordan her adopted grandchild music lessons. Helen also enjoyed getting lost in her love for reading, scrapbooking, cooking for her family, including the expanding adopted family and friends. We will always remember her fabulous cooking and laughter that she brought to us all bringing us closer together.

The family would like to offer a heartfelt thank you to Dr. Ben Anders and Kamloops Hospice.

The Celebration of Life for Helen will take place at 1:30 pm on Saturday, March 19, 2016 in the Kamloops Funeral Home Chapel, 285 Fortune Drive. Inurnment will take place at the Savona Cemetery on a later date. Memorial donations may be made in Helen’s memory to Savona Heritage, Box 83, Savona, BC V0K 2J0.

VELMA DOMINON SHORE

May 13, 1944 – February 24, 2016 It is with saddened hearts that our family announces the passing of Len Comeau of Chase, B.C. after a short but courageous battle with cancer. He passed away peacefully with his loving wife by his side in Hospice on February 24, 2016 at the age of 71.

Len will be greatly missed by his wife Pat, daughter Michelle of Calgary, stepson Don (Connie) of Kamloops, grandsons and great-grandchildren, sisters, numerous nieces and nephews.

Len was born and grew up in Kamloops. In his late teens, he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force. He later moved back to Kamloops and sold cars for 35 years, first at McAuliffe Motors and eventually opened his own car lot in Salmon Arm. His many repeat customers were a testament to his knowledge, integrity and excellent customer service.

His great love was the home he and his brother built on the Shuswap, and living on the lake for many years before moving into Chase. He knew the area like the back of his hand, often exploring the back roads of the area and spent many nights sitting around a campfire. Len had a love of boats that included those he sailed at the lake and the many wonderful cruises he took. Len became a friend of Bill W. and for many years took great pleasure helping friends in the program.

The family wishes to thank the doctors and support staff for the wonderful care he received at the Marjorie Willoughby Hospice in his final days.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Kamloops Funeral Home Chapel on March 16, 2016 at 1:00 pm.

BOBBÉ JANICE BAIN

January 16, 1931 - February 12, 2016

Preserve the memories of your loved one not only for now but for future generations with your pictures. We will make a video that can be used at your service, if you choose, and also put it on our website where it can be viewed from anywhere in the world.

PATRICIA MAY HILLAND 1925 – 2016

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Bobbé Janice Bain on February 12, 2016 in Kamloops, BC.

Surrounded by her loving family, Pat passed away at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, British Columbia.

Bobbé was born on January 16, 1931 in Vancouver, BC. An only and adored child to Frank and Georgia Kirchner.

Bobbé was predeceased by her step-mom Pauline (2015), her husband Ken (2011), her mom Georgia (2002) and her father Frank (1974).

Born in England, Pat served as a nurse in the RAF during the Battle of Britain. She married, immigrated, and began her Canadian adventure in 1947, first living at Webster’s Corners, then moving to Bella Coola, and finally settling permanently in Kamloops in 1965.

She spent her early years growing up in the Kerrisdale area of Vancouver. As an early teen, she moved with her mother Georgia to Salt Spring Island. Bobbé loved the water and was an avid swimmer and she absolutely loved the summer sunshine. They later moved up country to the Nicola Ranch where her step-dad worked for the ranch as the accountant.

She had many fond memories of her time there. From there, they came to Kamloops. One of Bobbe’s first jobs was on the front desk at the Plaza Hotel.

She met Ken here and they were married April 4, 1953. Bobbé later worked for the Scotia Bank until her retirement.

With her kindness and generosity, her sharp wit and wonderful sense of humor, Pat accumulated many good friends over the years. She enjoyed the outdoors and her flower garden, and loved nothing better than sharing stories and laughs over a pot of tea. She devoted her life to her family.

Bobbé spent 58 years in the same home where in earlier years, Ken always had a large garden which they generously shared with family and their many friends. Bobbé loved her home and stayed put to almost the end. She also enjoyed their time at the cabin on Tunkwa Lake for many years.

A private service will be held for immediate family and friends, with a wider Celebration of her Life later in the spring.

Pat is survived by Alfred, her loving husband of 68 years, and by her brother Ted (Margaret) in England, her five children Rosamund (Barrie), Russell (Louise), Michael (Carol), Edwin (Pamela) and Caroline (Mike), eight grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, and a large extended family in England and Scotland. She was predeceased by her sister Audrey (Jim).

Should friends desire, donations to a charity of one’s choice in her memory would be appreciated.

Special thanks go to Sara from Interior Health, and to the doctors and nursing staff at Royal Inland Hospital. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the charity of your choice.

“Life! we’ve been long together, Through pleasant and cloudy weather; ‘Tis hard to part, when friends are dear; Perhaps ‘twill cost a sigh, a tear; Then steal away, give little warning, Choose thine own time; Say not, Good night, but in some brighter clime Bid me good morning.”

A spreading of ashes will take place at a later date to be determined when the weather gets nice.

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

While her mom was still able, Bobbé and Georgia could be found always together at home, shopping or at the cabin. They were the best of pals! Bobbé loved animals (especially dogs and horses), chocolate, a good glass of wine and good company.

A very special THANK YOU to all the staff at RIH and Ponderosa Lodge for their compassionate care of Bobbé during her stay. It was greatly appreciated!.

Cheers Bobbé! Until we meet again!

This time around, Hyundai’s Elantra is no joke It helps if Hyundai executives can double

as stand-up comedians, specializing in self-deprecating humour.

put out of its misery in 1990.

One of the most oftrepeated jokes came from Jay Leno, who suggested a Hyundai’s value doubled when filled with gas.

In Don Romano, the president and CEO of Hyundai Canada, the company has a very competent car guy and a wisecracker par excellence.

At the launch of the all-new Elantra in Victoria, Romano delivered a line in a way the late Rodney ‘I don’t get no respect’ Dangerfield would have been proud.

He quipped: “My daughter asked me if I knew why a Hyundai has a manual as thick as a phone book . . . because it comes with a bus schedule, she told me.”

Romano’s thighslapping stand-up routine at the new Elantra launch gave him the last laugh because comedians will starve looking new material in this 2017 model.

Joking aside, the sad Pony is a distant speck in Hyundai’s rear view mirror and, truth is, it has been since not long after the turn of this century.

The right price and massively improved quality products have spurred the company to major sales success.

The sixth-generation Elantra should

become a major competitor to Canada’s top-selling Honda Civic and other compact segment favourites — the Mazda3, Ford Focus and Toyota Corolla.

The Hyundai entry is sleeker than it was but it still loses in the pretty stakes to the new Civic and the Mazda3.

But it’s not going to be rated on its dateworthiness because what’s under its skin impresses more.

The tough new high-strength steel superstructure raises the safety stakes substantially and quietens the cabin to a level about which luxury cars would boast.

The driver-oriented interior design, with its wide instrument panel (available with a 4.2-inch colour display), improves driver access to controls, creates cabin space and features higher quality materials and premium technology.

Here’s an attractive proposition for residents of northern climes: standard heated front seats and optional heated rear seats with a versatile 60/40 split-folding rear seat. It all adds up to better ride comfort.

The all-new 2.0-litre “Nu” MPI Atkinson four-cylinder engine produces 147 horse-

power at 6,200 rpm.

According to Hyundai, “This cycle type engine [invented in 1882] reduces pumping loss by delaying the close timing of the intake valves in the compression point, therefore maximizing the expansion ratio . . . this results in a 1.6 per cent improvement in fuel economy.”

Here endeth the engineering lesson.

The power plant is paired with either a six-speed manual transmission or a new six-speed automatic transmission. Fuel economy numbers will be available soon.

All trims are equipped with a new drive mode select feature, which adjusts both powertrain performance and steering, allowing the driver to choose from three modes at the touch of a button: Eco, normal or sport.

During a day-long test drive, the urge to use the sport mode was not sufficient to stray for long out of the eco and normal modes.

However, the route did include stretches with tricky corners, up and downhill, offering good opportunities for that sport mode.

The handling was far smoother than I expected.

I did some supermarket parking toward

the end of the day as the need for munchies was strong. It’s the right size for shopping and squeezing into those ever-narrowing spots.

After that earlier account of some aggressive driving, I should mention a seven-airbag system is standard, including a new driver’s knee airbag, along with electronic stability control, vehicle stability management, traction control and ABS. Yes, all standard.

A wide selection of advanced safety technologies is also on offer and includes autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian detection technology.

The base model starts at $15,999, just $200 more than the previous generation.

Here are each trim’s highlights.

The LE adds air conditioning, for $18,499.

The GL, at $20,349, features a long list of safety and convenience equipment.

For $22,699, the GLS adds a sunroof, heated rear seats, a hands-free proximity-activated trunk.

The Limited edition ($26,249) adds leather seats and an infinity 315W audio system.

The Ultimate package ($28,799) includes all the advanced safety features.
