Kamloops Mounties mourn their Moncton colleagues By Tim Petruk

The shooting deaths of three RCMP officers in Moncton, N.B., this week has had an impact on Mounties across the country — including in Kamloops. RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller, the Tournament Capital’s top cop, spoke to reporters on Thursday, June 5, about the incident and its repercussions across Canada. In addition to the three deaths, two other Mounties were shot and injured in Moncton on Wednesday, June 4. “Last night, on my drive home, hearing about the events unfolding in Moncton — it was a sleepless night for all of us here at the Kamloops RCMP detachment that wear the yellow stripe,” he said. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the members.” Mueller said it’s always difficult to learn a colleague has been killed on duty — let alone three on the same day. “You can never really prepare for the loss of a colleague,” he said. “We are a large organization, but a small family. We’ll be there for each other as we grieve and begin to put the pieces of this tragic event together.” There are about 120 RCMP officers in Kamloops. Mueller said it’s still unclear if any of them have ties to the Moncton detachment. “There’s been talk about possibly some ties back to some of the members that have been involved, but that’s speculation at this time,” he said. Kamloops has its own history of multiple Mounties being killed. On June 18, 1962, three constables — Joe Keck, Donald Weisgerber and Gord Pedersen — were shot dead at the entrance to Peterson Creek Park. Their killer, George Booth, died during a firefight with police hours later. “Certainly, we have been faced with some tragedy here,” Mueller said, noting he has told local officers to talk with each other about how they are feeling. “I made the suggestion, don’t be scared to ask how each one of us is doing in these times.” Mueller said B.C.’s top Mountie has offered support to the Moncton detachment, but it is unclear what that might look like if it is accepted. The shootings in Moncton also brought back memories of an RCMP tragedy in Mayerthorpe, Alta., on March 3, 2005, when constables Anthony Fitzgerald Orion Gordon, Lionide (Leo) Nicholas Johnston, Brock Warren Myrol and Peter Christopher Schiemann were shot and killed.

Reports out of Moncton yesterday (June 5) indicated police were closing in on the arrest of the suspect in the shootings, 24-year-old Justin Bourque, who was believed to be in or near a wooded area in the northwest section of Moncton. Moncton RCMP Supt. Marlene Snowman said Bourque was carrying high-powered firearms and is not known to police, noting investigators were trying to piece together his background. Daniel St. Louis, a commercial photographer in Moncton, was among the first on the scene Wednesday at about 8:30 p.m. when he came across two police vehicles on different streets with blood visible inside. He said no one was around, except for a few curious neighbours peeking through their front doors. One of the vehicles, a marked police cruiser, was surrounded by shattered glass. The other, an unmarked SUV with its lights still on and the driver’s side door left open, had several bullet holes through its front windshield. St. Louis, 51, said he saw something shortly after that will always haunt him.

There’s somebody down.’ As I got close, I realized it was an officer and this is not a good situation.’’ St. Louis said he doesn’t know what to make of the tragedy. “Our quiet little city, what is going on here?’’ he said. “How is this happening to us? It always happens to somebody else.’’ Prime Minister Stephen Harper offered his condolences to the families, colleagues and friends of those affected by the shootings. “This should obviously remind us that our men and women in law enforcement put their lives on the line every day to serve and protect us as Canadians,’’ Harper said while in Brussels. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those killed and also the others wounded in this terrible incident.’’ — with files from Canadian Press COMPLIMENTARY IMPLANT CONSULTATION*

Out on a limb in Riverdale By Andrea Klassen
` Annual General Meeting _
Join us Sunday, July 20th at 5pm
Riverdale Trailer Court resident Ernie Budd said the government is refusing to remove a 40-foot piece of tree threatening to come down on his property. Andrea Klassen/KTW
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Ernie Budd doesn’t know when it will happen but, sooner or later, he’s sure the tree is going to come down. Not the whole tree — just the top 40 feet or so, which snapped off in a windstorm last month and remains precariously balanced in the canopy on the edge of the Riverdale Trailer Court on Mars Drive in North Kamloops. Budd moved his car out of the path of the pending damage, but worries the deadwood could still come down on top of his bedroom or living room — both of which face the riverbank where the tree grows — or on him. “Every time I come out here, I shiver,” he said. It’s not the first time the tree, one of many growing along the banks of the Thompson just beyond Riverdale’s fence line, have caused problems for Budd. In 2011, a smaller tree blew over in the wind and landed on his shed. Other neighbours also complained of falling branches, calling them a risk to public safety. However, because the trees grow on Crown land, getting them removed has become a complicated — and potentially expensive — endeavour for Budd and his neighbours. Shawn Cook, the City of Kamloops’ parks-operations supervisor, said if the tree was on city land and posed a threat, it would be taken down. In this scenario, it’s up to the province to do the work. Cook said the city is aware of the trees. “What the mobile park crew is saying, and what I think we’ve also said is, ‘Yeah, those trees are at risk of falling onto their private property,’” Cook said. “So, in that scenario, the province should take action.” Budd said his attempts to appeal to the

province for help have been unsuccessful. “The Crown says there’s no money in the budget to cut down any trees,” he said. A spokesman with the Ministry of Forest, Lands and Natural Resources confirmed as much to KTW. “A tree like this requires the ability of an arborist to climb and dismantle. It can’t be safely done by a faller and the forest district does not have the expertise or financial resources to remove this tree,” the spokesman
said via email. If Riverdale residents want the tree down, the province is leaving it up to them to find the money. Budd doesn’t think that’s a fair request when he’s had no control over the trees. “I can’t afford to get a guy in to cut the tree down,” he said, arguing the province should take responsibility. “Why should I cut it?” Because of the tree’s proximity to the riverbank, the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) also

has to sign off on the matter, as it does when the city needs to take down dead trees on its land along the Rivers Trail. A spokesman from the DFO said his department isn’t opposed to the tree coming down, but has no mandate or funding to do the work. Jim Wilkes of Top Notch Tree Service said based on a description of the work required and the location of the tree, it would cost between $1,200 and $2,000 to safely dismantle the tree.
HAVE YOU, OR SOMEONE YOU LOVE, BEEN THE VICTIM OF THIS KIND OF ABUSE? Fortunately, the law provides several options for elders and their loved ones to remedy wrongful or abusive financial transactions. Even if the transaction is not discovered until after death, the estate or the beneficiaries may be able to undo the abusive dealings. Speaking with a lawyer from our Wills and Estates Law team will clarify your options and ensure your elderly loved one is properly assisted.

‘canada was our country --and nobody was going to take IT’
Blais and his regiment training in Calgary prior to deployment to Europe during the Second World War.
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
EVENTY YEARS LATER, JOSEPH BLAIS CAN still smell the burning flesh. A veteran of the Second World War, Blais landed on the beaches of Normandy, France, on June 10, 1944 — a date known as D+4, four days after D-Day. Blais was a green private seeing his first action of the war that day. The weather was good, the seas were rough and, when he stepped off his landing craft and on to the sandy French beach, he was illequipped for what he saw. “Burning tanks, burning trucks, everything else, people screaming, the smell of burning flesh — it wasn’t too easy to take at 19 years old,” Blais says, tears welling in his eyes. Despite having begun four days earlier — June 6, 1944 — the invasion of Normandy was still raging when Blais arri arrived. Injured sol soldiers scr screamed, dea dead bodies were stre strewn acr across the san sand and wa water, bullet lets flew. And am amid the ch chaos was Bla Blais, a
farmer a long way from his home in Cowley, Alta. Today — June 6, 2014 — is the 70th anniversary of the Allied assault on France. The Kamloops veteran was one of more than 325,000 Allied soldiers that landed on the beaches in those first few days of the invasion of Europe. When his landing craft came ashore on June 10, Blais knew relatively little about the battle that was taking place on the northwestern shores of France. He and his fellow soldiers had heard reports on the news, but knew little else. The reports couldn’t have prepared the soldier for his first steps into the country — the blood, the screams, the fire and chaos. It was the dead bodies scattered across the shore, the smell of burning flesh, which Blais still can’t shake.
And the fear. There was no shortage of fear. “You didn’t know where they’d be — underground or in the trees, and there was trees on the side I was on, I was on the left flank,” he says of the Germans. Much of the action Blais saw in the war, in the area of the city of Caen, came against the Hitler Youth, who Germany thought were the best troops in the world. “The Hitler Youth thought they were the only ones in the world,” Blais says. “They were just teenagers.” Now 89, the Kamloops vet doesn’t talk about the war much. He says there’s no use. He struggles to hold back emotion, though, when he does recall his time as a soldier. Despite having landed on the beach 70 years ago, the wounds still seem fresh. He survived the invasion of Normandy that day, but what he saw changed him forever. ‘OUR COUNTRY’ Blais had arrived in Europe months earlier, sailing over on the SS Île de France with his fellow Canadians in the third division of the Canadian Scottish regiment. Crossing the Atlantic Ocean to take on the Germans came with its own harrowing moments. It was a long, rough ride, with Blais among the many battling bouts of seasickness. But, the seasickness was the least of their problems, or so he would find out after. “We were going over there one night and everything was as quiet as can be, as quiet as in here,” he says. “You couldn’t hear the engines or a damn thing.
FRIDAY, June 6, 2014 v A7

‘we took them prisonerS and just carried on’ “We were told after there was German submarines in the area and I can’t swim. I don’t know what the hell I would have done if they got the ship.” The private made it to England, though, where he spent months doing route marches and training exercises with the third division, at one point hiking through the Sherwood Forest of Robin Hood lore. The trip to England came following his infantry training in Canada — basic training in Calgary and advanced training in Ontario. Blais had enlisted in the military voluntarily — he said he knew he would be conscripted regardless, but wanted to be a part of the war on his own terms. He and his father would both travel to Europe for the war, the old man a veteran of the First World War, who again answered his country’s call, this time against Hitler. Blais had two brothers and two sisters, all of whom remained in Canada. Despite the carnage he witnessed, the scenes and smells he can’t forget, the small-town farmer is still glad he enlisted all those years ago. “We were taught that Canada was our country — and nobody else was going to take it,” Blais says. ‘HELL OF A KICK’ After storming the beaches, Blais and his division continued on in their invasion of France, closing in on the city of Caen, about 400 kilometres to the northwest of Paris. Caen was a major strategic location in France for the Allies and it had been the goal of the Canadian and British soldiers to capture it on D-Day. The city was not captured until July, however. It was there, as he and his comrades marched to liberate the French municipality that Blais came face to face with a German tank. The Germans had constructed a system of trenches in the region, some underground, Blais says, and in one of those trenches the tank had lost a track and been immobilized.
Unable to move, but still operational, the tank began to turn its turret towards Blais, training its machine gun on the group of Canadian soldiers. Blais’ commanding officer, a corporal, asked if anyone was trained to use the anti-tank gun. Blais was. “I told my buddy, I says, ‘You lay on the ground behind me’ and I says, ‘Grab my ankles and don’t let me move,’ because that thing had a kick like 10 mules,” he recalls. “So, when they started turning the tank around, I waited until I could see the engine compartment because once the engine was gone, nothing was going. “It just blew the Blais (right) at a hospital in England shortly engine all to hell,” he after suffering an injury during the says. “The Germans invasion of Normandy. inside, they come out of that tank, they were “I landed on the ground and bleeding all over the place — the couldn’t feel anything from the steel, metal, when that thing blew. waist down,” he says, staring off So, we took them prisoners and into the distance as he speaks. just carried on. “So, I told my buddy that came “My shoulder still hurts from over, I says, ‘You might as well take that, hell of a kick to it.

It was there, near the Rhône, “He started to laugh and then that Blais’ war came to an end. he picked up my feet and he says “I guess one bomb got a little ‘Are these toothpicks?’” too close to me. I went sky-high,” he says. “I got shrapnel in my lower ‘A LOT OF IT WAS BAD’ back and left hip.” Following the A few pieces of shrapnel remain war, in his body to this day, too close to a nerve for doctors to have risked removing it.
Blais returned to Calgary, where his mother was living. It was there he met his wife, Evelyn, in 1945. They would be married three years later. The couple celebrated their 66th anniversary this year. They have eight children — two living in Kamloops, with three more in Ontario and three in Alberta. The couple moved to B.C. in 1978, shortly after Blais suffered a stroke and decided he could no longer handle Alberta’s long winters. They did stints in Kelowna, Winfield and Canoe before settling in the River City in 1993. But, before Evelyn came into his life, like many other soldiers, Joe had a girlfriend overseas. He says she had wanted to be his “war bride,” but had no interest in moving back to Canada with him. She, too, dreaded the Canadian winters. Those were some of the better times of the war for Blais. He still recalls meeting up with her and a few friends, shortly before boarding the SS Lady Nelson to return to Canada. He and a fellow soldier had travelled to say goodbye to their ladies while on leave. When they arrived in town it was “raining to beat hell,” Blais remembers. Unable to find a hotel, the pair arranged a deal with the jailer and spent a night in a cell. They would meet up with their friends
in the morning, before shipping out for home. Those are some of his few good memories of the Second World War. “There was good times, there was bad,” he says, before again growing quiet. “A lot of it was bad.” ‘WHO YOU LOOKING FOR?’ By the time Blais landed in Calgary, he was again walking with his own two feet — his left hip and lower back healed. He told his family of his injuries during their last correspondence, describing himself a “stretcher case.” It was that classification that saved him from returning to the war. He was originally slated to be a part of the occupation of Germany, but he had no desire to return and, in the end, didn’t have to. There, back on the ground in Alberta, the war ended for Joe much as it began. Shortly before he shipped out for Europe in 1943, he had made a surprise visit to the family farm at Christmas, bounding in the door as his mother was saying grace, wishing Blais was home for the holidays. “I got to Calgary and on the ramp, I seen this woman, little short woman, looking at all the stretchers — it was my mother,” Blais says, again fighting back tears. “So, I walked up behind her and put my arms around her shoulders and said, ‘Who you looking for?’ “And lived happily ever after, I guess.”

Don’t let your life float into the path of near-death
I
T’S THE TIME OF THE YEAR I regret having repeatedly chosen French fries over salad and begin working on an unsightly combination of a soccer-sunglassesfarmer’s tan. But, bathing-suit complexes aside, one thing I always look forward to during a summer in Kamloops is floating down the South Thompson River. The tradition has been carried out by many a Kamloopsian but, for newbies, it goes a little something like this. Step one: Purchase a brightlycoloured $12 floatee. Step two: Arrange two vehicles to meet at Pioneer Park. Leave one behind and catch a ride in the other to the Valleyview boat launch. Step three: Inflate and float. It’s pretty simple, but floaters have been known to also include waterproofed baggies, snacks and/or some sort of cool and delicious beverage, possibly of the six-pack variety. As I reminisce over the process — the feeling of pushing away from the shore with my flip-flop paddles and soaking my tush in the cool river water — I can almost feel the sun on my face and I can hardly wait for the first float of the year. But, despite the heat, you won’t see me out on the river this weekend, or even next — it’s too early. Years ago, I learned the hard way when I went floating in May. I was warned not to go, but I was determined. After all, I had gone a handful of times before and I was practically a pro.

Two friends and I accomplished the aforementioned floating steps one through three and we were off. Brrr — the water was much chillier than I remembered from times before and, come to think of it, we were cruising much faster than usual. Regardless, we made our way down the South Thompson, bevys in hand. We continued until the drinks kicked in and nature called. Being the courteous and classy river-peer that I am, I jumped into the water and swam away from my friends — and floatee — so as to not No. 1 directly on or around anyone. Ew. I gasped and laughed at how cold the water was as I went about my business. My friends laughed as they floated on — and away. It was time to catch up with them, but the water had plummeted my body temperature from cold to numb and the current left me in a precarious position — far from both my friends and the shore. It wasn’t funny any more, and
laughter turned full-on swim turned panic-mode fast because I was barely moving. I was getting tired and, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t reach them. Call it fate, luck or irony, but a cheap floating cooler I had purchased earlier that day disconnected from our floatee barge in my moment of panic and floated close enough to me that I could grab hold of it and kick my way back to shore. I was thankful for the impulse purchase as I caught my breath on dry land. It was the first time I’d ever felt the fear of drowning. I grew up around the water and consider myself a strong swimmer, but my swimming skills weren’t the issue at the time. It was the cold, the current and — regrettably — impaired judgment. It could have ended badly. I look back on it all and see how stupid it was, but I hope to inform others. I should have made some better choices, but I wonder whether I would have chose differently had I heard a story to really scare the crap out of me. If someone blatantly said to me, “I know someone who almost drowned doing exactly what you’re about to do,” would I have done something different? Maybe not, but now you can. jessica @kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @KTWjess
A reminder of who is most affected So, now the school labour dispute has reached the students. Of course, they were affected before, but now a portion of them are seeing fit to become actively involved in the issue by staging a walkout of their own. While we applaud young people taking an interest in the world, it’s hard to judge what impact this will have on the dispute. Actually, it will have no impact on the dispute, the effect will be on the students who will be forced to take a stand on an issue in which they are the innocent third party. The dispute has been likened to a family going through a divorce. The parents in this case have been feuding for years. In fact, have they ever gotten along? This couple has been through mediation numerous times and still they end up throwing dishes at each other. Students were conflicted about whether they should participate in the protest. Opinions ran the whole gamut from “waste of time” to “take a stand.” Teachers might be wishing they could be treated like any other unionized worker in conflict with their employer but, unfortunately, they can’t. The government, meanwhile, wants the teachers and the public to roll over to their own — usually politicized — priorities when it comes to managing education. The students truly are caught in the middle and now some of them are trying to exert some pressure of their own in order to expedite a settlement. It’s the graduating students who have the most to lose here. Actions at this time of the school year have a dramatic impact on students’ futures. That they are angry at being shoved aside is justified. So, they take up picket signs and stage walkouts. It will not lead to a settlement, but it is certainly worthwhile reminding both sides of the dispute who has the most to lose.

“The mining companies are the largest contributors to the B.C. Liberal Party and the party bends over backwards to repay those large political contributions. “For example, the owner of the proposed Prosperity Mine, Taseko Mines, contributed $100,000 to the Liberals and specifically $5,000 for the current Minister of Mines Bill Bennett’s 2013 election campaign. “Bennett in response to the recommendations of the environmental assessment to decline the project, used taxpayers money to fly to Ottawa and convince the decision makers there to ignore those findings. — posted by NelsonX
One student’s take on the ‘walkout’ of June 4 Editor: Many people are aware of the student walkout that took place on Wednesday, June 4. Started by two Vancouver teens, it was an attempt to protest the fact that, as the Vancouver organizers stated, “students have been in the middle of the labour dispute between the BCTF and the provincial government.� I was disappointed, but not surprised, to learn this idea spread to other areas, including Kamloops. This walkout was an awful idea. The reason for skipping school was (according to the organizers) to protest how
students had to miss out on school and assistance due to job action and the consequential rotating strike days. Missing school so you don’t have to miss school? That’s silly no matter how you spin it. Not to mention the fact the majority of people who joined the walkout used it as an excuse to cut class. The most crowded area during the walkout at my school? The smoke pit. This is counterproductive. The walkout hasn’t changed anything, let alone resulted in progress. That being said, some students like myself are
actually concerned about the situation. We want it resolved quickly and fairly, while allowing students to get the teacher assistance they need during the last few weeks of school. It would be ideal if there was a practical, effective action informed students could pursue. Then again, perhaps genuinely concerned students truly have no voice in the issue. Regardless, better opportunities for students to express displeasure exist. The best one might simply be to become informed, show support for the side with which
you agree and make the best of the situation. I hope we are wiser after this lesson in futility. The driving force behind this effort was misguided students, unaware or uncaring of the negative effects of their actions. Take the strike days to catch up on work or sleep in and be thankful. Some kids our age aren’t lucky enough to be able to attend school at all. Just don’t worsen the situation by sacrificing the thing for which you are fighting. Evan Cave Kamloops
Nothing ‘rational’ about embracing modified Arctic apple Editor: Is there anything “rational� about Bill Ligertwood’s Rational Thoughts column of May 29 (‘Amped up about the Arctic Apple’)? I always thought “rational� meant one would consider the rationale of those opposed before coming to a conclusion such as, “Don’t let hysteria get in the way of a truly cool advance in the field of genetics.� The consensus of a corporate-sponsored community of scientists is clear. With a common interest in growing the biotechnology industry, they are quite eager to ram new technological innovations like the “non-browning apple� through our regulatory agencies as fast as they can. But, why are they unwilling to listen to the opposition? Don’t they care what the majority of Canadians and growers actually want?
Is this really beneficial if most people don’t actually want it? I’m certain Ligertwood is referring to GE Free Kamloops and its supporters as some of the folks who are “up in arms over this issue.� “Why are people getting emotional over the issue?� he asks. Perhaps what we should really be wondering is why people are not getting emotional about what is being done to their food. Should we no longer question the moral implications of going-boldly-where-noone-has-gone-before, before going there? Science without ethics, many would argue, is not good science. It’s not a complete equation. After all, is not the point of scientific innovation to improve quality of life for humanity? It certainly looks like genetically modified organisms (GMO) over the last 20
years have done way more harm than good — and there’s plenty of independent research out there to prove it. It seems in this day and age genetic engineering asks the question, “How can we . . .�, but rarely asks the question, “Should we . . .?� Yes, we can now turn on and off genes in fruits and vegetables and we can now douse crops in harmful pesticides and kill everything but the crop. We can even prompt the crop to make its own pesticide and pay an agency to say it is fit for human consumption. But, thousands of years of organicfarming technologies that did not rely on toxic chemicals and have been tried, tested and proven safe and truly sustainable have gotten us this far. Is it not logical to conclude we can certainly go the distance without GMO? Steven Hurst Kamloops

The good and bad in prostitution bill By Dale Bass
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Bob Hughes sees good and bad in the new federal prostitution legislation introduced in the House of Commons this week. The executive director of ASK Wellness — which operates programming for sex-trade workers — said having $20 million available for programs that help people leave the business is “chump change but a stab in the right direction. . . . It will make a difference.” The Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act was introduced faster than Hughes had expected. Last December, the Supreme Court of Canada struck down the existing anti-prostitution laws and gave the government one year to come up with new legislation. In the unanimous decision, Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin wrote “it is not a crime in Canada to sell sex for money.” Hughes said it is good the new legislation targets johns, but also acknowledged “the reality of the Charter [of Rights and Freedoms] that we can do what we want in our own homes.”
However, he questioned the provision that makes it a crime for sex to be sold in public spaces where minors could be present, saying “that’s anywhere in Canada.” Hughes said the problem with the legislation is it targets “the most desperate human beings out there, the most street-involved with additions and mental-health issues.” Julie Grant, a Toronto-based sex-trade worker and outspoken critic of the federal government, said the legislation doesn’t recognize many in the business are there by choice and the legislation is “harming us again.” She said the law, which she called bad Canadian legislation, “simply revictimizes sex workers.” Hughes said the programming his agency provides has been successful, helping about 25 per cent of the city’s sex-trade workers exit the business. “That doesn’t sound like great success but that’s one in four women and, based on the complex challenges they face, it’s a pretty good rate of success.” “We will criminalize those who are fueling and perpetrating the demand for this dangerous activity,” Justice Minister Peter MacKay said.
Those to be targeted by police under the new law include pimps and others who exploit sex workers, including those who advertise the sale of sex in print or online. MacKay said legitimate, nonexploitive service providers — such as doctors, pharmacists and taxi drivers — won’t be targeted, nor would spouses or family members of sex trade workers. It’s not yet clear if that leniency will extend to bodyguards hired by sex workers for security. A federal survey of Canadians released June 1 following government-led consultations found 56 per cent of respondents think it should be a crime to buy sexual services, but 66 per cent said it shouldn’t be illegal for sex workers to sell their services. A study by UBC researchers released earlier in the week argued a Canadian move to the Nordic Model would force prostitutes to work in riskier conditions where they have less control over their health and safety. Where clients continue to be targets of police, sex workers’ ability to protect themselves from violence and abuse or access police protections is severely limited,” said report author Dr. Kate Shannon.

Two more years for manslaughter By Cam Fortems
Superstore
910 Columbia Street West, Kamloops
Deborah Joseph (inset) was killed by boyfriend Gerald Peters in his East Shuswap Road trailer in October 2012.
STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
A man who killed his wife in a drunken stupor — a crime he says he cannot remember — has been sentenced to two more years in jail by a B.C. Supreme Court justice. Gerald Peters admitted to stabbing to death his spouse, Deborah Joseph, on Oct. 20, 2012, after they spent the night drinking Listerine mouthwash. “This is indeed a very sad and tragic case,” Justice Selwyn Romilly told a courtroom gallery on Thursday, June 5, filled with members of Peters’ family and reporters. “The accused in this case has already taken concrete steps to deal with his alcoholism. He has taken full responsibility of his crime by pleading guilty to this offence and he has shown genuine remorse for his crime.” Romilly sided with the defence, which had asked for a sentence of four to six years, with credit for time already served. The Crown argued for a six-year sentence. Peters will serve two more years, in a federal penitentiary. He was credited with timeand-a-half for jail time he has served since being arrested 19 months ago. His stated sentence is four-and-a-half years. “To me, it was fair,”

said Peters’ brother, Russell Casimir. “My brother didn’t deny it. He owned it. The family stood behind his call.” Under provisions of federal parole, Peters could be released from prison in about seven months, through onethird of his sentence. Casimir said he hopes his brother receives treatment in jail and that resources are available on the outside. Casimir — who sits in Kamloops First Nations Court as an elder and guide — said he has seen treatment centres close recently. He believes money is being reduced by governments. Peters has been to treatment “many times,” Casimir said. “We all tried, but treatment and programs are not available as they used to be.” Peters’ parents attended residential school. They died of poisoning after drinking paint thinner.
“The accused was one of 10 siblings,” Romilly wrote in his decision. “Most of his siblings are either alcoholics or exalcoholics.” Casimir said the family will be there for Peters when he is released from jail. He also expressed sorrow for the death of Joseph. Her family members were not apparent in the courtroom gallery this week. “She was a good woman as far as I was concerned,” Casimir said. “They had a dream.” Joseph had a daughter and a sister who were also killed by their spouses. Peters’ lawyer and the Crown entered an agreed statement of facts from the night of the killing. Late in 2011, Peters was arrested following an alleged violent domestic assault in which Joseph was stabbed. No charges were laid. A few months later, in February 2012, police were called to the trailer
Peters shared with Joseph to investigate another violent assault. Joseph had stabbed Peters, causing minor injuries to the lower left side of his back. But, when Mounties arrived, Peters told them he had sat on a knife by accident. No charges were laid. In the early evening of Oct. 20, 2012, Peters’ sister-in-law walked in their home on the Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve and saw him, drunk and dazed on the floor. Joseph — wearing only a towel and lying on a mattress on the floor in the trailer’s living room, her left arm covered in blood — was dead, having been stabbed once in the heart. Beside the couch, RCMP found three onelitre Listerine bottles — two empty and one full. On a small end table sat a black-handled kitchen knife covered in Joseph’s blood. Back at the Kamloops

Teachers to vote on launching full strike By Dale Bass
Students at Dufferin elementary stepped outside of classrooms on Wednesday, June 4, to show how they feel about the labour dispute between the teachers’ union and the provincial government. Dave Eagles/KTW
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops teachers could be on a fullscale strike as early as Monday, June 16. The B.C. Teachers’ Federation has announced teachers provincewide will vote on Monday, June 9, and Tuesday, June 10, on whether to authorize their union, the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) to move to a full strike. Jason Karpuk, president of the KamloopsThompson Teachers’ Association (KTTA), said local teachers will vote today (June 6) and Monday, June 9. If teachers vote in favour of escalating job action to a full strike, Monday, June 16, would likely be the first eligible school day it could begin after the union serves the required 72-hours’ strike notice.
Teachers are now in the second week of rotating strikes, with Kamloops walking the picket lines yesterday. At a KTTA meeting on Wednesday, June 4, to update members, about 400 teachers learned the BCTF had lost its bid to have a wage reduction imposed by the province ruled illegal. The government, through its bargaining
agent, the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA), has implemented a phased lockout that requires teachers to do no work during breaks or lunch and not be in schools more than 45 minutes before and after the instructional day. It is also clawing back 10 per cent of teachers’ wages as long as the BCTF rotating
strikes, which began last week, continue. The teachers also learned their union will not be able to provide the $50 a day strike pay after this week. Karpuk said he was disappointed in the Labour Relations Board (LRB) ruling and surprised by it because, with a phased lockout, he said, teachers are in uncharted territory.
“And teachers are still having to do all their work in a shorter day. “The contract includes a duty-free lunch, so you tell me where the 10 per cent is coming from,” Karpuk said. The BCTF had complained to the LRB the wage clawback was illegal but, in a ruling issued on Wednesday, June 4, the board disagreed.
The BCPSEA argued at the board hearing last week the BCTF should not have any say on the wage cuts. Prior to the LRB decision, the BCTF brought forward new wage requests, asking for a 9.75 salary increase over four years, which is a reduction from the 10.75 per cent hike over four years it had been seeking. The BCPSEA has offered 7.25 per cent over six years, with a $1,200 per teacher signing bonus. Peter Cameron, the chief BCPSEA negotiator, said the BCTF’s new wage request was disappointing. He said he is not optimistic a deal will be made before the end of the school year, when a full lockout is planned by the government.
BCTF president Jim Iker said teachers do not take job action lightly. “This is never an easy decision because every single one of us wants the best for our students, but we believe that parents understand what we’re fighting for,” Iker said. “We hope that the vote in itself will apply pressure to both sides and, hopefully, spur the movement needed from the employer that will help us reach a deal.” Iker said there is still time to avert a full-scale strike “If Premier Christy Clark is sincere about labour peace and putting families first, she can give BCPSEA the funding to bring us closer together to enable a deal,” Iker said. “But, she must act soon.”

The Ministry of Education has said each strike day is saving the province about $12 million, not including the $1.2 million per day the BCPSEA’s 10 per net salary clawback generates. CUPE workers are not crossing the picket lines, saving the government an additional $4.5 million per week.

$875,000 animal-health centre opens doors By Andrea Klassen

If a bird of prey is hit by a car or a beaver mistakenly ends up in a diesel pond anywhere between Prince George and the U.S. border, it often ends up at the B.C. Wildlife Park. But, these days, the 300 to 400 wild animals the Kamloops zoo rehabilitates for re-release every year have some nicer digs for their stay. On June 5, the park celebrated the opening of the Fawcett Family Wildlife Health Centre, a new $875,000 space for animal medicine and research at the park. The new building includes operating rooms, isolation and decontamination areas, and will eventually feature pens that allow some of its furred and feathered guests to roam outside, where visitors to the park can see them. It’s a big step up from the park’s previous setup, said veterinarian David Sedgman. “It was third-world. It was a little hut down by the creek, and that little hut had been our discovery centre, our education building, but there was 200 square feet,” he said. “It was pretty bad.” General manager Glenn Grant said the new facility will allow staff to keep rehab animals and those that live

at the park permanently completely separated, which will improve care. “We always say we need better health care, we need better facilities at Royal Inland Hospital or elsewhere and our animals deserve the same thing and we need to be able to supply that,” he said. Sedgman said the new facility allows the park’s veterinary staff to embark on more projects, in addition to providing better care to the animals. The park is in the midst of a study of the eyes of birds of prey, which he hopes will
make it easier to assess whether a bird is likely to recover after being hit by a car — the most common reason birds arrive at the centre. Also in the works is a study aimed at preventing grey squirrels from spreading to the Kamloops region. While having regular tours through the centre would scare the animals under treatment, Sedgman said he hopes the park can set up cameras to allow the public to see what goes on inside the building. “This centre’s going to allow us to step up our game and do a real service to the wildlife
community and the animals themselves,” he said. Money for the centre came in part from the city of Kamloops, which had $363,000 in a reserve for the project, part of a $3-million funding commitment it made to the park for improvements in 2003. Much of the remaining funding came from philanthropists Ron and Rae Fawcett, who have also donated money to the park to build a habitat for its Kermode bear, Clover. That project is due for completion this summer. “The Wildlife Park

LEOS’ FANFEST AT HILLSIDE
Chasing the Calder By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

HE BATTLE of the Blazers in the Calder Cup final was not to be. Forwards Brendan Ranford and JC Lipon, both members of the 2012-2013 Kamloops Blazers, were set to square off in the American Hockey League final, which will feature Ranford’s Texas Stars and Lipon’s St. John’s IceCaps. News broke on Wednesday, June 4, that Lipon is done for the season with a lowerbody injury. “It sucks now that we’ve come this far and I can’t be in the final series, but I’m only 20
so, hopefully, I’ll get another chance,” said Lipon, a Regina product who excelled playing on a line in Kamloops with Colin Smith and Tim Bozon. “The injury has been lingering for two weeks and I had an MRI and it’s worse than we thought,” he said. Texas is hosting Game 1 of the championship series on Sunday, June 8. KTW caught up with Ranford before he found out about Lipon’s injury. “It’s pretty funny because I was really close with him in Kamloops and we were roommates when he was 16 and I was 17,” said Ranford, who amassed 357 points, 137 of them goals, in 348 games
with the Blazers, good enough for sixth all-time in team scoring. “Our parents are really close. It’ll be a fun series. One of us is going to win the Calder Cup.” Ranford, 22, is producing in the playoffs, with 10 points and seven goals in 16 games. Lipon, who was playing in a third-line grinder’s role before the injury, has one assist in 14 playoff games. An Edmonton product, Ranford was drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers in 2010, but never signed. He inked a tryout contract with the Stars in May of 2013 and caught on with club. The highly skilled winger began to find his groove in the Lone Star
State earlier this year. “In February, when I started to string games together getting points and playing on the top three lines, that’s when things started to get good,” said Ranford, who was golfing with teammates when KTW caught up with him. “I had been in and out of the lineup. It was tough because that was the first time in my career that ever happened to me. “You have your ups and downs and you have your slumps. I’ve had a good first year of pro and I’m excited about the opportunity that I’ve had in the playoffs.” He finished the regular season eighth in team scoring with 33 points, 12 of them goals,

FanFest will begin with player introductions, which will kick-off at 1:30 p.m., before the players get on the field for a practice and scrimmage at 1:40 p.m. Photos and autographs will be available following the scrimmage, at about 3:15 p.m. To cap off FanFest 2014, kids will be able to walk onto the turf at Hillside and learn from the pros as the Lions host a football clinic at 4 p.m. The Felions will also be in attendance.

in 65 games. Lipon was eligible to play his 20-year-old campaign with the Blue and Orange when he signed a two-way deal with the Winnipeg Jets in August of 2013. He never played another game in Kamloops, racking up nine goals and 41 points in 72 games last season with St. John’s, the Jets’ AHL affiliate. “I feel like I exceeded my expectations and to be in the final is pretty crazy,” Lipon said. There is another Kamloops connection to the Calder Cup final. Blair Riley, a 28-yearold forward from Chase who plays for the IceCaps, trains in the Tournament Capital in the summer.

Let’s play ball: KIBT is on By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Kamloops International Baseball Tournament (KIBT) is a go for 2014, whether it’s with seven teams or eight. KIBT is scheduled to run from July 10 to July 13 at Norbrock Stadium. Tournament president Dean Padar said organizers are waiting to hear back from a team in San Diego, the Stars, which might fill the final tournament spot. If not, the tournament will go ahead with the seven teams already on the docket — the Kamloops Sun Devils,
Red Deer Riggers, Seattle Studs, Thurston County Senators, Nanaimo Coal Miners, Everett Merchants and North West Honkers — in a modified roundrobin tournament. Padar was in contact with San Diego last week and was told the team would try to finalize a roster over the weekend. “We’re holding out the last little bit of hope that they still want to
come,” Padar told KTW. “If not, we are going to run with seven teams.” Padar said organizers hope to release a tournament draw next week so teams can begin preparing. Should they go with seven teams, each team will get four round-robin matchups, with the top four teams advancing to the singleelimination playoffs. KIBT is making its return after a one-year hiatus. The tournament was cancelled in 2013 after organizers were unable to fill a full slate of teams. Part of the problem was the entry fee, though Padar said its current amount, $800, is
down from $1,400 a few years ago. Even still, some teams — Langley this year — declined to attend the tournament because of the fee. Padar is focusing on the positive — despite what has been an up and down few months in its planning, KIBT will again return to the Tournament Capital in 2014. “Like I said, either way we’re going to run this year because I think if we don’t run this year, that would pretty much put a bullet in it,” he said. “We want to see if we can keep this thing going.”

Vigneault calls out Rangers’ players Fans to leave World Cup with empty wallets CANADIAN PRESS
LOS ANGELES — New York Rangers’ coach Alain Vigneault has challenged all his players to bring their A game when the Stanley Cup final resumes with Game 2 on Saturday, June 7, in Los Angeles. Vigneault said if they don’t, New York won’t beat a strong Kings team. The Rangers’ coach said goalie Henrik Lundqvist and “a couple of guys’’ did play their best in Wednesday’s (June 4) 3-2 OT loss. He did not name names, but said New York’s B game won’t do it. Mr. Game 7 delivered in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup final. Justin Williams scored 4:36 into overtime as the Kings rallied to edge the Rangers 3-2 in the opening game of the NHL championship series Wednesday night. The winning goal came on a cruel bounce, a sudden end to an evening that had started with so much promise for the underdog Rangers. Dan Girardi fanned on a clearing attempt and the puck ended up at the blue-line with Mike Richards, who found Williams alone in front. Williams, who is 7-0 on the Game 7 stage with seven goals and 14 points, scored high to the stick side to complete a Kings’ comeback
from 2-0 down. “I’ve said this many times, Justin is the most underrated player on our team by a mile,’’ said Kings’ defenceman Drew Doughty, who had a rollercoaster night. “He doesn’t get enough credit for what he does. New York goalie Henrik Lundqvist and the Kings’ Jonathan Quick both lived up to their reputations on the night, with Quick busy early and Lundqvist late in an entertaining endto-end game. “He was the reason why we went to overtime,’’ Vigneault said of Lundqvist. “I mean, he gave us a chance. When you get to overtime, a lot of times it’s a bounce, it’s a shot. Tonight they got it.’’ Los Angeles finished 10th overall in the league during the regular season with 100 points, four ahead of No. 12 New York. The Kings are looking to win their second Cup in three seasons, while the Rangers are after their first championship in 20 years. It was the Kings’ first playoff OT win at home since May 6, 2001, against Colorado. Benoit Pouliot and Carl Hagelin tallied for New York on Saturday. Kyle Clifford and Drew Doughty scored for the Kings before Williams ended the game.

RIO DE JANEIRO — World Cup visitors, welcome to Brazil, land of soccer, sun and skyhigh prices. Unlike nearby Latin American nations where a tourist’s US dollar or European Union euro seemingly stretches forever, Brazil is astoundingly expensive. If one’s budget isn’t immediately busted by the flight or the hotel, it will soon be done in by the $10 caipirinha cocktail, the $17 cheeseburger or the $35 pepperoni pizza. And those are the prices city-dwelling Brazilians saw even before the World Cup set off a new standard of sticker shock. “Prices in Rio are absurd,’’ Maria Anda, a Norwegian artist who has lived in Brazil for a year, said while enjoying the sunset on
Ipanema beach. “I still like it. It’s worth being here, but it’s not paradise.’’ The dizzying prices are referred to here as the “Custo Brasil,’’ or “Brazil Cost’’— the mixture of high taxes and steep import tariffs, combined with bad infrastructure, a dose of inefficiency and a thick shot of bureaucracy. Demand leading up to a big event like the World Cup naturally raises prices. But, since costs already were high to begin with, tourists should prepare to dig deep into their wallets and not be too miffed to receive goods or services of inferior quality, said Rafael Alcadipani, a business administration professor at the Getulio Vargas Foundation, Brazil’s top think-tank . Brazil tries to protect its local industries by charging high tariffs
on virtually all imported goods. For travellers who lose or forget an item, they might decide to do without rather than pay local prices. Take iPhones: The unblocked 5s that costs $649 in the U.S. has a starting price of $1,250 on Apple’s Brazilian website. Need a pair of running shoes? A pair of the popular Nike Flyknit Lunar 2 runs about $313 at a Rio shopping mall — nearly triple the U.S. price. The examples go on. Levi 501 jeans start at $80. The $6.28 Big Mac is among the most expensive in the world. Shaving cream, soap, tissues and aspirin are all are double to triple the prices found elsewhere. “Everything is expensive,’’ said Nadir Fraguas, a retired bank employee who was at a Rio mall pondering
whether to spend the equivalent of more than $100 on a Brazil national team jersey for her grandson. “Clothing, cars and food . . . Here, you pay a lot and you get very little. Prices were already high, but now they’re impossible.’’ “Anything you buy in Brazil will be more expensive than in the United States or Europe, but the quality is going to be worse,’’ Alcadipani said. Hotel rates in many of the World Cup host cities more than doubled ahead of the tournament. Massachusetts-based TripAdvisor reports visitors to Rio will face the highest prices, with hotel rates averaging $445 per night. Add in food and other expenses, and Rio travellers should prepare to spend $682 each day.

Betty was extremely active in numerous community organizations, both as a great support to her husband Roy in all the organizations he was involved in, and in her own role as a volunteer and board member of various organizations and committees.

Obituaries & In Memoriam EDNA IRENE DREGER
FRANK JOHN (STUART)BROWN April 1, 1942 – June 2, 2014
Dec 2, 1923 – May 28, 2014 Edna passed away peacefully at the Gemstone Care Center. Mom was born in Duncan, BC and raised on a farm near Mission. Her early years of berry picking, milking cows and dealing with a wood stove stood her in good stead for the duration of her life. A year of “Normal School” landed her a teaching position in Britannia Beach on Howe Sound, where she met Fred, the man she would marry. They had two boys, Glenn and Russ in short succession. Fred was a miner and Jack of all trades, so they lived in several small BC mining towns, Wells, Kelowna and Hedley, before Fred was injured, and became a barber. After a few years in Vancouver, they moved to Kamloops in 1955 where Edna was the teacher in the one room Long Lake School for a year. They settled in Knutsford, where she put her gardening skills and her teaching certificate to work. She spent a year teaching in North Kamloops Elementary, and the remainder of her career in Beattie School. Mom was an excellent seamstress and knitter, creating many wonderful pieces of clothing for herself, her family and her friends. Predeceased by her husband Fred, she maintained the log house he had built, and the gardens, until they became too much for her, and she moved into Kamloops Senior’s Village. Mom was a warm, caring and loving lady who will be missed by everyone she came to know. The last of her family, Edna leaves behind her two boys, Glenn and Russ with their wives Di and Carol, as well as grandchildren Heidi (David Andersen), Jason (Kana), and Russ and Carol’s son Kevin, who predeceased her. She also has two great-grandchildren, Zoë and Harper Andersen. Mom was past her 90th birthday. She had led a good life, and was prepared for death. At her request, she will be cremated, have her ashes mixed with Fred’s and distributed in places they both loved. A small gathering of family and friends will be held at a later date. We will always miss her smile and positive approach to life. Sincere thanks to Carol, who attended to Mom’s needs almost daily in her final year of life. The family would also like to express our gratitude to Dr. Lawrie and Dr. Del Begio for the years of care and support given to Mom. As well, thank you to all those at RIH, Ponderosa Lodge and Gemstones who provided such loving care to Mom over the past year. In lieu of flowers, should friends desire, donations to The Compassionate Friends (Box 29, Knutsford, BC V0E 2A0), The Stephen Lewis Foundation “Grandmothers to Grandmothers” (501 – 260 Spadina Ave., Toronto, ON, M5T 2E4), or to Ducks Unlimited (954 Laval Ave., Kamloops BC, V2C 5P5) in memory of Edna would be much appreciated.

BILL “WILLY” CHARLES MCCALLUM It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of William (Bill) Charles McCallum of Kamloops, BC, on May 29, 2014, at 70 years of age.

Also left to cherish Bill’s memory are grandchildren Layton, Faunne, Cora and Wyatt MacLaren, great-grandchildren Nevaeh Eileen MacLaren, as well as sister Judy Odynsky. Bill is predeceased by his sister Barb Dehnke, and nephew Danny Dehnke of Valemount, BC. Bill was born and lived in Kamloops most of his life. He could often be found at the local pool halls or the horse racing grounds. He shared a passion of fishing with his son, Steve, and gardening with his daughter, Johanne. Bill was his grandchildrens’ biggest fan in their sport activities; he rarely missed a game.
With deep sadness we share the news of the sudden passing of Stuart at his home in Qualicum Beach. Stuart was born in New Westminster to Rona and Frank Brown. The family moved to Kamloops in 1948 where Stuart had a loving relationship with his family including aunts, uncles, and cousins. His friendships with high school friends were lasting, kept up over many years. Stuart fondly remembered and looked forward to family gatherings, both those of his childhood, and of his own children and grandchildren. Stuart engaged in a variety of challenging careers in the financial field that took him to Quesnel, Prince George, Hamilton, Winnipeg, and Victoria. Most notably, he partnered in a very successful company engaged mostly in the oil industry in Calgary.
A Celebration of Life for DOREEN HAY will be held on Saturday, June 21 at 1:30 p.m. in the Mountain Room, Campus Activity Centre, Thompson Rivers University
Stuart retired with his life partner, Ghislaine to Qualicum Beach, where they enjoyed many happy years fishing and golfing. Stuart was an avid reader, a very good cook, and an excellent bridge player. He deeply appreciated the natural beauty of his native province, Kamloops and the Island especially, with so many memorable days spent on inland lakes and ocean waters. Stuart was predeceased by his parents and daughter, Shelley Rae Mayzes. He is survived by his best friend and loving partner, Ghislaine; son Dean (Jackie); daughter Candiss; five grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. Stuart will also be greatly missed by his sister, Frances (Ian) Maclean of Victoria, and brother, Justice Neill Brown (Joan) and their children of Abbotsford.
May Stuart find peace and everlasting joy, in communion with those who he loved and who loved him. The family sincerely thank the attending physicians and nurses at Nanaimo Hospital ICU for all their efforts and their exemplary care. A Celebration of Stuart’s Life will be held in Qualicum Beach at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider honouring Stuart’s memory by making a donation to the charity of your choice.

Karen, It feels like years but it has only been one. And yet that is still too long. I still love you the same as if you were still here with me, laughing during the good times and crying during the bad ones. I miss being able to call you any time and spend hours talking about everything under the sun. As children we were practically joined at the hip, but we grew up and we grew apart, as most siblings do. We had our own set of friends and our own set of goals for our lives, but that still didn’t change the fact that we were sisters. There was nothing that I wouldn’t do for you and nothing that you wouldn’t do for me. I always wish you were still here with me enjoying life, but I can understand why God would want such a beautiful angel on his side from now until eternity. Just know that I love you and miss you, and this is the tribute to you, my big sister Karen. Cheryl

To the market they are going By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
With a new manager at the helm, the Saturday incarnation of the Kamloops Farmers’ Market is getting set for one of its biggest years on record. Annelise Grube-Cavers has taken over the weekend event for 2014 and said the market is filling St. Paul street to capacity — an impressive feat given warm weather has just begun. “Right now, it’s growing as much as it can in the space that is has,” she said. “We could definitely use some more city collaboration. There’s some infrastructure we’d like to have built around there. “But, to me, the market seems bigger and more sold out than it ever has before.” Permanent public washrooms, along with more street furniture for older shoppers, are among the items
on the wish list for the market. With the return of the weekend event comes the return of the nutrition-coupon program, a provincewide initiative that helps low-income households access healthy food options. The program, which Grube-Cavers said has been incredibly successful in Kamloops, will be helping 80 Kamloops households this year — 25 seniors and 55 families involved in the Baby’s Head Start Program — and will begin this month. Also returning this year is a plethora of artisans, buskers, live music and vendors, with special-interest groups also in attendance to educate customers on a variety of causes. For more information, check out the Kamloops Farmers’ Market website at kamloopsfarmersmarket.com. The website will soon feature bios of vendors so customers can check out what will be available at the market in advance of attending.

Two for the show Vegas-style tribute artists coming to town X From B1
By Jessica Wallace STAFF REPORTER

HERE was a time when Adam Fitzpatrick wasn’t an Elvis fan. Now, the professional Elvis Presley tribute artist has a silver title under his belt from a world competition, and he’ll be performing live at Sagebrush Theatre on Tuesday, June 17. “I wouldn’t change it for the world, but it was definitely not what I thought I was going to be doing,” Fitzpatrick said. He got his start unexpectedly after watching a friend’s father perform at the annual Penticton Elvis Festival in his hometown. He hadn’t even heard music from the King at the time, but the experience encouraged him to buy some old music. “I just really liked listening to it,” he said. Then, in 2008, he and a friend dared each other to compete in the same competition. “I ended up beating out both of them [his
TICKET INFO:

From there, “it just kept growing” until he quit his job as a manager at Boston Pizza. “It just went from a one-time thing and turned into a full-time career,” he said. He credits his inexperience as a singer to his uncanny abilities to match the King’s vocals. “I wasn’t a singer before; therefore, I didn’t really have a voice to change,” he said. Fitzpatrick practised and studied how to perform Elvis through
the eras. He can portray an Elvis from the 50s, but his main sets consist of the 70s, black leather and jumpsuits. His favourite go-to Elvis tune is Bridge Over Troubled Water. “It’s just a gorgeous song,” he said. It’ll likely be on the setlist in Kamloops and played by a 10-piece band when he is joined by Joe Kelso as Roy Orbison and Michael Fic, as Tom Jones and Neil Diamond during a “Vegas-style show.” “I feel very lucky to be able to do this for a living,” Fitzpatrick said.

CAMPING THE CASCADE COOP By Jane Cassie
SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com
C
AMPING, FOR some keeners, means crammingin as many adrenaline-surging activities as possible. For me, it’s all about roasting marshmallows over an open fire, lying back with a good book and connecting with Mother Nature. And, during this threeday trip of Washington’s Cascade Loop, I enjoy just that. Our entry point is SedroWooley, a quaint Skagit Valley community dotted with century-old farm houses and fields of pretty tulips. Soon after ascending Highway 20 and meeting up with the turbulent Skagit River, these blooming beauties are replaced by centuryold hemlock and cedar. In December, these stately stands become perfect hangouts for bald eagles that
come to prey on the spawning salmon. Diablo Lake is our first of many photo moments. Its brilliant turquoise colour, attributed to fine glacial silt, is mesmerizing — not just for us picturetakers, but for kayakers and canoeists, too. Outdoor enthusiasts also gravitate to the many hiking trails along this drive, one being the Pacific Crest National, a route that snakes all the way from Manning Park to Mexico. It would be a fabulous trekking experience, but I’m in laid-back mode. Our surroundings continue to exhilarate. My husband Brett and I slice through the Methow Valley and scoot around heaven-bound mounds of granite. When cloaked in wintry white, this drier interior zone lures the cross-country skiers. And, during the warmer

months, the pathways become a haven for horseback lovers. En route to our first campground, we pass Mazama’s Freestone Inn, a posh spot that epitomizes the lap of luxury. Jetted tubs, quilted beds, yummy cuisine — we’d definitely have a night of seclusion and serenity if we stayed here. But, no — we keep truckin’ and eventually snuggle up for the night with Mother Earth instead. At a 1,100-metre elevation, Lone Fir Campground is a heavenly spot to pitch a tent. Our site is just steps away from Early Winters Creek and a short stroll from the trailhead to Cutthroat Lake. Sun Mountain Lodge is another alluring temptation the following day. From its lofty mountaintop plateau, near the western town of Winthrop, we’d be
privy to lavish living and spa treatments, as well as horseback and hay rides. Once again, we decline and, instead, spend the afternoon sauntering the boardwalk and moseying through some of the emporiums of this Gunsmoke-look-alike town. From Lake Chelan and, later, Wenatchee, we’re confronted with too many activities than we have time for during our short trip. Brent is keen on mountain biking or treking. Meanwhile, I’m drawn to the many picnic pull-offs where we can relax. Our second night with nature is spent at Lake Wenatchee State Park, a 489-acre outdoor mecca that nestles up to a glacier fed lake. There’s a lot to do between swimming, hiking and horseback riding. I think about the options, albeit briefly. My lawn chair waits
patiently to be used. The Bavarian village of Leavenworth merits a long coffee stop the next morning. Onward and upward. After veering around the steep walls of Tumwater Canyon, we climb and summit at Coles Corner — a recreation hangout for boaters and fishermen. Skiers also get in on the action every winter at nearby Stephens Pass. Action-packed adventures continue to parallel the rest of our scenic loop. Rock climbers ascend gravity-defying cliffs in the town of Index. Whitewater rafters challenge the rushing torrents of Skykomish River.

Golfers putt on manicured greens in Monroe. And, I’m quite content to check them all out from my comfy passenger seat. We finalize this Cascade trip in the quaint town of Snohomish. “We could venture a little further to Everett and go whale watching or rent a couple of bikes,” Brent suggests. “Not this time,” I say. “The camping was enough for me this trip.”
