Province’s highest court sides with government PREVIOUS RULING OVERTURNED; TEACHERS’ RIGHTS NOT VIOLATED DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The superintendent of the Kamloops-Thompson school district is hopeful the fighting is over now the province’s highest court has ruled against the teachers’ union.

In a 4-1 ruling released yesterday, the B.C. Court of Appeal overturned two earlier lower court decisions by Justice Sudan Griffin, who said the provincial government had violated the rights of teachers to negotiate class size and composition.

Supt. Karl deBruijn said

he hopes the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) “will let it go now” and not appeal to the nation’s top court.

“This gives us stability knowing what the rules are we have to operate with and this is especially good for students with special needs,” he said.

However, KamloopsThompson Teachers’ Association president David Komljenovic said his members expect the BCTF to take the fight to the Supreme Court of Canada.

He said the dissenting justice wrote a strong opinion that could be used to move forward with an appeal.

DeBruijn said the BCTF’s assertion that Griffin’s ruling required school boards to return to the 2002 class size and composition rules would have been detrimental for students with learning challenges, limiting the numbers who could be integrated into classes without consideration for their individual situations.

“They have every right to be a classroom and we need to put supports in place for them,” deBruijn said.

In its majority ruling, the court declared Bill 22 — the Education Improvement Act — to be constitutional, saying Griffin’s finding “was based on legal error and

must be set aside.”

That decision, made in 2014, awarded the BCTF $2 million in damages and suggested the government had bargained in bad faith in order to provoke the union into calling a strike.

Chief Justice Robert James Bauman and justices David Harris, Mary Newbury and Mary Saunders were among the majority.

Only Justice Ian Donald disagreed.

Komljenovic said he was disappointed in the majority ruling that “reverses two strong decisions . . . and will lead to more years with less support for students with

Kamloops-Thompson board of education chairwoman Denise Harper said trustees are also happy with the ruling, which relieves financial pressure, noting the cost to return to 2002 levels has been estimated in the billions of dollars provincewide.

Asked if she is concerned the KTTA might express its displeasure through a flood of grievances, Harper replied: “I don’t think they could torque it up much more.

Harper said it is the union’s job to represent its members, but she hopes it does not inundate the district with grievances.

FIRE DAMAGES BARNHARTVALE HOME ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A “For Sale” sign stood in front of the charred remains of a Barnhartvale home yesterday morning after the structure was damaged in a midnight blaze just hours before.

Kamloops Fire and Rescue crews were mopping up the scene at 785 Uplands Court into the afternoon yesterday.

The home’s windows were shattered and its roof was filled with scorched holes as homeowners spoke to fire investigators in the driveway.

Neighbour Jeff Stier was walking to his car, which was parked down the street, as crews worked on the home.

Stier told KTW he had left his vehicle there the night before, having stumbled upon the blaze on his drive home at 12:30 a.m..

“I pulled up and saw the flames coming out of the roof. It was kind of just starting to come up by the front door,” Stier said.

“It’s kind of nuts — you pull up at first and you don’t really expect it to be a house on fire.

“You think, ‘Oh, they’re having a fire out back’ or something.”

Stier happened on the scene a few minutes before fire and rescue crews arrived and went to the door to see if he could help.

Two people were home at the time, Stier said, one of whom was trying to fight the blaze with a garden hose.

At that point, however, the fire was already

out of control.

Stier helped with the family’s two dogs as residents tried to grab items from the home.

“There wasn’t much to do at that point,” Stier said.

Neither the residents nor the pets were harmed in the blaze.

“When I ran up, everyone was a little distraught and it was loud,” Stier said.

“You run up to a burning house, it’s not going to be just a quiet flame. It was a little bit of mayhem.”

Steve Kilmartin, Kamloops Fire Rescue’s acting assistant chief, said 18 personnel were on scene, along with three engines, one tower truck and one rescue truck.

“It was a very stubborn attic-ceiling fire,” Kilmartin said. “There was a lot of dangerous areas and spots to get into.”

Though the house is surrounded by trees, there was no danger of the fire spreading to adjacent structures.

Stier said neighbours on either side of the house were among those in the streets as crews tended the flames but, for the most part, area residents seemed to sleep through the activity.

When Stier went home at 1:30 a.m. — his house is just behind the home that caught fire — his parents were asleep and had no idea there was a fire in the area.

When Stier finally

went to bed at about 3:30 a.m., crews were still battling hot spots.

The house was sold about a month ago to a family new to the city, according to Brian Ledoux of Royal LePage Kamloops Realty.

What happens now to the sale of the home will be up to the buyers.

“It kind of goes into a buyer-in-the-driver’sseat situation,” said Ledoux, who owns the Royal LePage offices in Kamloops.

“The seller is deemed to provide the buyer with the house in substantially the same condition as when they viewed it and that’s what’s in the contract,” Ledoux said.

“Well, obviously, that can’t happen, so the buyer just ends up getting to decide what they want to do.”

Ledoux said house transaction is, in essence, void, as the sellers will be deemed to have breached the contract. The buyers could move on to purchase another home or they could wait for repairs to be made.

It’s an odd situation, one that is foreign to Ledoux.

“Our managing broker has been in the real-state business for 41 years and he’s never seen it,” he said.

Cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Business has ups , downs from bridge work ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Renato Uliana knew the start of construction on the Overlanders Bride would hurt his Italian restaurant located at the southern end of the Tranquille Market — and, so far, his predictions have mostly held true.

The owner of Sorriso Pasta and Deli said sales slumped about 45 per cent the first week crews began a major resurfacing and repair job on the bridge,

largely due to the lack of South Shore lunch patrons, who account for most of his regular crowd.

In the second week, it picked up slightly, with Uliana bringing in about 65 per cent of his usual business.

But, the downturn hasn’t been consistent.

“For some reason, Tuesday and Wednesday evening were really busy,” he said.

Speaking with other North Shore businesses, it appears the impact of the Overlanders isn’t being evenly felt.

While some businesses are slowing down, others within a few blocks report no change due to construction.

At Interior Crafts and Hobbies, co-owner Darren Hicks reported a slow down in businesses, also due to South Shore customers.

“A lot of customers, they come down on their lunch break from downtown and Sahali — and I think they’re avoiding the bridge,” he said.

But, just down the road between Sorriso and Hicks’ shop, Surplus Herby’s general manager Todd Flodstrom reports it’s business as usual for the city’s self-proclaimed “craziest store.”

Flodstrom said so far, traffic is as good or better than before the bridge work started.

“I don’t know what the deal is, if there’s more consumers staying on the North Shore.

“I don’t know what

to say. It hasn’t really effected us yet.”

Across the street, The Lemonade Stand is again experiencing slower traffic.

Cashier Taylor Petri said she’s noticed a drop in foot and vehicle traffic in the market.

“It’s been dead here,” she said.

But, Petrie noted the head shop’s slower sales could also have something to do with a big 4/20 sale held at the store at the start of construction.

In other areas of the North Shore, businesses may be benefiting from the hassle of the bridge.

On 12th Avenue, Jam-Can Cafe owner Kamau Metsimela said his restaurant has had record-breaking days over the past week.

“It’s not affecting us one cent,” he said.

North Shore Business Improvement Association (NSBIA) general manager Stephen Puhallo said beauty salons in the Brock Shopping Centre are seeing some increases in clientele,

while restaurants at the southmost end of Tranquille, like Sorriso, are “ground zero” for the worst of the bridge impacts.

ing owners to get in touch if they notice unusual slumps or spikes in their sales as the Overlanders work continues.

LIFE IS SOMETIMES SHORT. PLAN FOR IT. Life is precious and though we all look forward to a long, healthy life, sometimes our plans are interrupted.

That’s why a Power of Attorney is an essential tool if you have assets of value. It grants legal authority to another person to manage your financial and legal affairs in the event you become incapacitated and unable to do so. Without a Power of Attorney, your assets are essentially frozen until you recover, pass away or someone is appointed by the court to be your guardian, which can be an expensive and lengthy process.

A medical Representation Agreement works in a similar manner. In it, you determine in advance who will be your medical decision-maker in the event you are unable to decide for yourself.

THE KEY IS THAT YOU MUST PUT THESE TOOLS IN PLACE BEFORE YOU LOSE CAPACITY, WHEN IT’S TOO LATE.

Consider Clover: Reasons Why Traditional Lawns are Becoming Less Desirable • In Kamloops, rainfall is not enough to keep grass green and the cost of watering grass can be an issue.

• Many people do not have the time or energy to maintain a lawn that needs to be cut and watered frequently.

Advantages of White Clover • Stays green all summer with less water than grass.

LOGGING IDEAS ON WASTE’S VALUE CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

INKS LAKE — They are the garbage dumps of the forest: a tangle of fat, scarred Douglas fir ends ravaged by fire, three-metre-long tree tops and twisted pieces deemed too small for the mill.

Pushed and scraped into heaps along with needles, twigs and the occasional boulder, these slash piles will remain through the summer until the cold fall and early winter months, when a little fuel and a match will make the waste disappear.

But, fingers were pointed at the forest industry last fall when the Thompson Valley became choked with smoke as an unexpected inversion set in during the annual rite of burning slash piles.

A study released in January by Kamloops Physicians for a Healthy Environment pointed to smoke from woodwaste burning as the culprit for typically poor air-quality numbers in November.

However, what the forest industry has considered waste for decades has ecological and economic value

— if someone can just figure out how to make it pay.

Despite an awareness of the issue for decades, a complete solution has eluded the province.

“The mill specifies what the logger does,” said Walt Klenner, a habitat biologist overseeing a pilot project by the Kamloops Forest Region looking at ways to utilize the material that is otherwise going up in smoke.

In today’s market, it’s typical that a sawmill will demand 18-footsix-inch-long logs that can be cut at the mill to create nine-foot studs, an increasingly popular size in home construction.

A computer-controlled processor takes measurements and it cuts the log to the precise size at the logging site.

Everything else is waste and most ends up in the slash pile.

What’s different in this logging operation conducted by a Tk’emlups Indian Band-owned firm is piles have been taken apart and sorted so Klenner can get a better idea of the value it might hide.

The piles are com-

prised of bucking waste (defects, scars and rot); small-diameter tops; potentially merchantable sawlogs; and branches and fines.

The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Options is researching whether there is an economic market for the lower-grade sawlogs, tops and bucking waste.

“How do we make money?” Klenner said.

“We can’t expect the licencees to do something different if they get less money.”

It’s not just money, however.

Klenner said the ministry also has to determine the potential ecological value if some of the waste is left on the forest floor. He calls a six-foot scarred log left at this site, for example, an “energy bar” that will provide nutrients to the soil for years.

Complicating factors include fire risk from leaving too much material on the forest floor and potential complaints from the public “Some people want to see it like a Bavarian woodlot, perfectly raked. Others see it as potential habitat,” Klenner said.

LOCAL NEWS The obvious, if not best, option would appear to be burning the material to create power or using it for pulp. Other options include use for poles.

A few kilometres north of this site, tonnes of wood chips are piled at a landing next to Lac Le Jeune Road, where a giant grinder owned by Ledcor chewed through the material to produce wood chips.

Those chips will be trucked to a reload facility on the Fraser River and then barged to Howe Sound Pulp and Paper for use in its co-generation plant “where the energy isn’t just heading into the clouds,� said Andrew Hansen, Ledor’s manager of biomass operations.

The logging slash is free for the taking and has value, but the challenge is getting it to market in a cost-efficient way.

Klenner is trying to get a handle on the numbers and is helping companies such as Ledcor get better access.

Ledcor has provided data to Klenner for the project. Hansen said the company has been successful obtaining woodwaste, but wants more through co-ordinating with timber licencees.

Harry Nelson, an assistant professor in the University of B.C.’s forestry faculty, said in an email message the value of woodwaste depends on where it is found. Sites distant from highways cannot be accessed by chip trucks and fuel costs make it too expensive to truck long distance for energy recovery. “For example, if there were nearby a power plant [i.e Atlantic Power] or pulp mill, they may be interested in using the material for burning for heat and power generation — subject to the costs of — HABITAT BIOLOGIST getting the material to WALT KLENNER their location,� he said.

In fact, a Frenchbased corporation is now constructing a $200-million co-generation facility in the Nicola Valley.

However, a senior executive noted, it has not factored slash piles into its plans Fadi Oubari, business development vice-president for Veolia Group, said the co-generation facility’s woodwaste will be overwhelmingly sourced from regional sawmills.

Domtar’s pulp mill in Kamloops is a competitor for the material. “If you say, ‘I’ll take it,’ they’ll say, ‘Thank you very much,’� is how Oubari describes the allure of slash piles.

But, the material is inconsistent and sometimes distant from the mill, while the plant requires a regular feed of woodwaste.

When the report is completed this year, it will offer a comprehensive look at slash piles, including their ecological and potential economic values.

It will also recommend ways to make it easier for energy companies to get access to the material once the loggers are gone. “Government needs to find ways to facilitate licencees to do this,� Klenner said.

How do “we make

money?

We can’t expect the licensees to do something different if they get less money.

A taxing situation British Columbia residents pay a carbon tax every time they gas up or fire up the furnace to heat their home.

The slash piles that heat the night sky?

Zero tax.

While the study undertaken by the regional forest office is looking at ways to promote economic ways to utilize woodwaste, an easy answer would appear to be using a system to penalize its burning or encourage taking it to a power-generation facility. “Yes, if one were able to ascribe a carbon value to using that material, it would help pay for it,� said University of B.C. assistant professor of forestry Harry Nelson. “But, how you do that depends on the scheme — and I’m not sure yet whether or not there are any projects where they’ve been able to do that.�

Nelson said the carbon-neutral status of forestry is up for debate. The most likely way to encourage use of slash piles would entail giving carbon credits for burning it to create energy — something that would displace use of fossil fuel.

Why You Need Vitamin C and Lysine for Heart Health and More...

W. Gifford-Jones, MD

V

itamin C is arguably the single most important water soluble antioxidant in the human body. Antioxidants play a key role in protecting cells against free radicals, which can cause damage and play a role in heart disease, cancer and other diseases.

It’s tragic that researchers are unaware that high doses of vitamin C and lysine cannot only prevent, but reverse atherosclerosis in coronary and other arteries in the body.

Vitamin C is needed for the manufacture of collagen, the glue that holds cells together. A lack of vitamin C means poor collagen, resulting in cracks appearing between coronary cells thus setting the stage for fatal blood clot.

Recently, Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, made this monumental discovery. He took photos of the retinal arteries and then gave patients 6,000 milligrams of vitamin C and 5,000 of lysine (lysine adds strength to coronary arteries just like steel rods increase the strength of concrete). A year later he repeated the pictures. To his surprise, he found atherosclerosis fading away.

The essential amino acid lysine is probably best known for its use in those with herpes simplex infections but several other benefits have been ascribed to the molecule, including favourable effects on blood pressure and stroke prevention but also a positive influence on mood and anxiety.

In addition to providing healthy collagen production and a healthy cardiovascular system, vitamin C and lysine supplementation helps support: t *NNVOF TZTUFN IFBMUI t 7JTJPO t 5FFUI BOE HVNT t 8PVOE IFBMJOH t #POFT BOE DBSUJMBHF t 3FDPWFSZ GSPN TIJOHMFT t 3FDPWFSZ GSPN IFSQFT PVUCSFBLT This is why I’ve been taking high doses of vitamin C and lysine for the last 16 years following a heart attack. I believe it saved my life. Medi-C Plus™, containing high doses of vitamin C and lysine, is available in powder and capsules.

Millions of North Americans also suffer from osteoarthritis. Without sufficient vitamin C to produce collagen, a major component of cartilage, bone eventually grinds on bone. There would be fewer joint replacements if more vitamin C were available to produce healthy collagen.

Rheumatoid arthritis, the inflammatory type, also requires large doses of vitamin C. Every moment of the day our bodies are using oxygen to keep us alive. But oxidation results in metabolic ash, known as “free radicals�, which are believed to trigger an inflammatory reaction in joints.

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps to reduce damaging free-radicals.

Patients often appear surprised when I tell them that vitamin C will help them keep their teeth a lifetime. By age 65 one in five North Americans has lost all their teeth and many of their teeth were normal. Rather, it was the gums that could no longer hold teeth firmly in place in part due to inadequate amounts of vitamin C. This vitamin is needed in large amounts to produce healthy collagen, the glue that holds cells together and keeps gums healthy.

Without good mortar bricks fall apart and the same happens when gums lacking collagen lose their grip on teeth.

VIEWPOINT

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK is a politically independent newspaper, published Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 1365B Dalhousie Dr. in Kamloops, B.C. V2C 5P6 Ph: 250-374-7467 | Fax: 250-374-1033 e-mail: editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops This Week is owned by Thompson River Publications Partnership Limited

THE HOT AND NOT OF THE WEEK Kamloops This Week looks at the stories of the week — the good, the bad and all in-between:

HOT: A pair of Kamloops students whose scintillating science projects have led them to a national stage.

Hannah O’Neil of McGowan Park elementary and Milika Sharma of St. Ann’s Academy advanced from the recent Cariboo-Mainline Regional Science Fair and will fly to Fredericton next month to take part in the Canadian competition.

Hannah O’Neil of McGowan Park elementary will be taking her Don’t Get Burned: An Analysis of Sunscreen project. Milika Sharma of St. Ann’s Academy will present her Antibiotic Resistance Threat: Testing Alternative Therapies.

Hannah and Milika will be among 500 students at the May 14 and May 15 event, which will feature almost $1 million in awards, prizes and scholarships.

OUR

VIEW

NOT: Those drivers who simply cannot understand how to adapt to Kamloops streets when major construction projects begin.

The rash of accidents has been ridiculous and every single one can be blamed on human error.

It is simple, really — leave for your destination earlier, slow down and learn how to merge properly.

It’s not rocket science. Then again, with the abundant number of drivers who cannot seem to grasp the basic rules of the road, perhaps we can employ our science-fair wizards to conduct some workshops on how to get from point A to point B without emulating a demolition derby.

HOT: The inaugural Papa John’s Dreams for Kids Day this week, which raised money to help send seriously ill kids to Disneyland for a day.

Thanks to Papa John’s and thanks to all who ordered pizza.

H

ow much money is enough?

How much money does one need to earn before anything more becomes ridiculous?

We can talk about movie stars and professional athletes and corporate titans when considering the questions.

But, the decision by a Seattle CEO of a relatively small company is something that has people talking — rightly so.

Dan Price is CEO of Gravity Payments, a mobile credit-card payment service.

He has decided that all 120 of his employees should make no less than $70,000 a year, a figure he said will help alleviate emotional stress from money.

According to a story in the Toronto Star, about 30 of those 120 employees will see their annual salary double, while others will get a bump to that $70,000 level. About 50 employees were already at or above that salary.

Online, the story has gone, as they say, viral — and why not?

It’s a slam-dunk good news story.

Price seems extremely genuine when speaking about why he believes a decent wage is not only good for his employees, but also for his company.

His employees are understandably overwhelmed and there has been a welcome focus on the growing gap between what frontline workers make and what CEOs earn.

Earlier this month, USA

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

Newsroom

MUSINGS Today analyzed data from the S&P Capital IQ. The newspaper calculated that CEOs of 13 well-known U.S. retailers and restaurants earned an average of $5,859 per hour, based on a 40-hour week.

By comparison, employees at those 13 businesses making $10 per hour would need to work 60 days, or 480 hours, to earn what their CEOs pocket in one hour.

The American Federation of Labour released a study last September that showed the U.S. with a 354:1 CEO-to-worker ratio, with CEOs making, on average, $12 million and a worker earning, on average, $34,600.

The same study showed Canada with a 206:1 CEO-toworker ratio, with CEOs making, on average, $8.7 million and a worker earning on average $42,300.

Not surprisingly, the study found Norway, a country lauded for its use of its oil wealth and its care of its residents, with a CEO-to-worker ratio of 58:1.

At Gravity Payments, CEO

Price makes $1 million a year.

In order to get all of his employees to that $70,000 annual salary mark in a few years, he will take a pay cut — to $70,000 per year.

The difference between his current pay and his eventual wage will be enough to cover the upgraded salaries for 13 employees.

Of course, Price’s new salary is temporary and will rise once (if) his company recoups the profits lost to the higher wages.

He is, after all, a self-professed capitalist.

But, the plan is to keep the employees’ wages at a level believed to stave off the emotional stress of money — at least $70,000.

It will be interesting to follow the financial implications of Price’s audacious and altruistic gambit.

In the meantime, perhaps some of our country’s CEOs residing in that rarefied air of 206:1 can find some loose change in their pockets and help some of their lower-earning employees.

Imagine if each CEO halved their salaries and distributed the difference amongst the masses.

Even at half the 206:1 wage gap, the titans would still be making more than $4 million a year.

Again, how much money is enough? editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

END USERS MAY WANT TO LOOK IN MIRROR

Editor: Many of us may have read Michael Smyth’s column, Culture of Silence, in the Province newspaper.

There was also coverage on television news.

The coverage tells of gun-packing drug dealers who have turned Surrey into a war zone. MLA Harry Bains is grieving the death of his nephew, Arun Bains, who died as a result of one of these shootings.

Sgt. Lindsey Houghton spoke at a packed public meeting and police distributed some 800 information booklets to parents as part of the effort to break the cycle of violence.

English, Punjabi and Chinese versions of the booklet are available online as part of a program called End Gang Life.

The drug culture spans across all walks of

life and respects nobody.

What does the average drug dealer look like? What age group is involved? Do most carry knives for intimidation and protection?

More and more, our own neighbourhoods are being affected by the drug trade.

The faces of people I saw close by were faces of young people, for the most part. But, they were probably working for others whose faces were clouded in secrecy.

We need to understand there is another side to the story. It’s a side that isn’t so great to hear because it involves the marketplace for the drugs these people sell.

It involves the end users. It might involve the person next door who likes to use. It might involve the folks who like to have the extra stuff at a party where bigger money and influ-

ence shows up for a good time.

It’s easy enough to say society abhors the very thought of 14-year-old girls being lured into the drug trade. The end users really didn’t hire her for sex — well, maybe not directly, but the tears and loss of innocence might be like blood on your hands, regardless.

We hate to live through all of the stuff leading to a point at which a house gets shot full of holes and the realization comes that something finally has to be done about the situation.

Stop the using part of the equation if you really want change. Take away the market for the product and it’s a step in the right direction.

FIX STREET PLANNING AND CUT DOWN ON EMISSIONS Editor: Having read the April 3 KTW article on idling (‘Councillor wants Kamloops to nix additional drive-thrus’), I was intrigued because part of the argument was about the city’s greenhouse-gas numbers not decreasing and a possible reason being idling cars.

I agree in principle with “idling cars being the lowhanging fruit” to possibly help reduce greenhouse emissions.

However, I wasn’t thinking drive-thrus and parking lots so much as I was thinking about Kamloops’ street planning.

Since moving here in 2011, I am often bewildered (and annoyed) with street planning, which I feel contributes to

idling cars, frustrated drivers and potential accidents.

Here are some aspects of what I mean: a) Intersections where many drivers plan to turn right, but a vehicle at the front going straight is stopped at the red light, causing people behind to not be able to turn.

It is frustrating because there is a centre lane in which they could go straight.

Sure, not everyone is turning right or would be able to because of oncoming traffic, but there are many instances when it is possible.

Two examples come to mind — turning right onto McGill Road while driving south (uphill) on Columbia

Street and turning right onto Summit Drive while coming off of Highway 1. b) Lights at intersections that change for no apparent reason, such as when coming up or down Hillside Drive and seeing the light at Notre Dame Drive turn red even when there are no cars using the green light. c) Lanes that merge into one, causing cars to slow to a trickle, then open back up to two lanes.

An example of this is the Summit Connector hairpin corner, which connects Summit Drive and West Victoria Street.

The road is clearly wide enough for two lanes, but I suspect it is designed this way

to allow space for emergency vehicles to pass. d) A downtown with streets that make you drive around endlessly because you can’t turn left or right.

You cannot get to where you want to go and such a street plan confuses visitors (maybe that is the point).

In this latter instance, it’s not idling cars contributing to Kamloops’ greenhouse-gas emissions. It is the practise of driving more than one needs to.

Implementing changes like this would get my vote.

ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

.P. Kinsella has a new book being published.

And nobody is happier about it than W.P. Kinsella.

“I always enjoy my work. I’m my own biggest fan,” Kinsella told KTW, speaking from his home in the historic Fraser Canyon town of Yale.

“When I re-read this current book, I laughed and laughed and laughed. I said, ‘Boy, this stuff is really good.’”

Kinsella, best known for his novel Shoeless Joe, which was later made into the movie Field of Dreams, will be in Kamloops on Tuesday for a reading and signing of his new book, The Essential W.P. Kinsella.

The event begins at 7 p.m. at Chapters.

The book, a work of fiction, is a compilation of the 79-year-old’s best short stories, in celebration of both the author’s 80th birthday and the 25th anniversary of Field of Dreams.

It includes 32 stories selected from Kinsella’s more than 15 published collections, a handful of which have never before been published.

Kinsella went through all of his collections in helping to prepare the book, selecting three favourites from each.

He didn’t make the final decision on what was included in the anthology, though he did put his foot down on the inclusion of two stories — First Names and Empty Pockets and The Last Surviving Member of the Japanese Victory Society.

“I’m quite happy with their choices,” said Kinsella, who is an Officer of the Order of Canada.

“I think they did an excellent job.”

It has been more than three decades since Kinsella wrote Shoeless Joe, but the novel — with it’s famous line, “If you build it, he will come” — is undoubtedly the Canadian author’s most famous work.

Some of the book’s success can no doubt be attributed to the box-office success of Field of Dreams, but Kinsella was confident in Shoeless Joe from the beginning.

“I knew, about after I finished the second section of the novel, that I was on to something,” he said. “So, I was never surprised after that, that it became successful as a book and then as a movie.”

Kinsella, too enjoyed the film that stars Kevin Costner.

The author had a limited role in the production but kept in constant contact with screenplay writer and director Phil Alden Robinson.

• enhance mental alertness without the crash

Kinsella credits Robinson as much as anyone for the commercial success of the film.

“Well, I don’t see how they could have done a much better job,” he said, noting he even liked the title, Field of Dreams, which is a play on one of the book’s preliminary titles, Dream Field.

“Most writers don’t like what Hollywood does with their work and with good reason, because they usually screw it up,” Kinsella said.

“Because he [Robinson] was directing, he stood his ground against the morons in Hollywood who wanted to change everything and make it a carchase movie and so on. He had to threaten to quit the project a number of times and just absolutely stood up to them and said, ‘No, we’re going to do it my way.’ Of course, he was right.”

Kinsella doesn’t write as much as he used to and he’s not sure if he’ll ever publish another novel, though he says the ideas are still there — more ideas, he said, than he could write in “a couple of lifetimes” — which is both exciting and frustrating.

THE ESSENTIAL W.P. KINSELLA WHAT: Reading, signing by W.P. Kinsella WHEN: Tuesday, May 5, 7 p.m.

WHERE: Chapters bookstore, Aberdeen Village, 1395 Hillside Dr.

Kinsella now spends his days playing Scrabble — he’ll be competing in the 2015 Edmonton Scrabble Club Tournament this weekend — often with a Toronto Blue Jays game playing in the background.

Though he hasn’t been to a game since the Major League Baseball strike of 1994 — and doesn’t plan to ever attend one again — Kinsella still follows the game that has been the subject of so much of his career.

When he reflects on all of his writing, and he was written more than he ever thought he would, Kinsella said it’s as much luck as anything else that kept him writing about America’s pastime for so long.

“You write a story and you hope that it will be successful. If it is successful, it’s like a prospector finding a vein of gold — you dig at it until it’s all gone,” Kinsella said.

“If Shoeless Joe hadn’t been successful, I wouldn’t have written any more baseball.”

CLIPPERS CLOSE ON CUTTING CAREER TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

John DeCicco has given his last haircut.

After a career spanning six decades, the four-term city councillor and popular downtown barber is retiring.

DeCicco told KTW he got his start early.

“In Italy, my late uncle had a barber shop and, after school, we used to go there,” he said. “I might have been 12 years old when I started.

“When I immigrated to Canada in 1959, I had some knowledge of cutting hair and, when I was in Vancouver, I went to school.”

In Kamloops, DeCicco started cutting hair in 1961 at the old bus depot site on Lansdowne Street.

Twenty years later, he moved the Continental Barber Shop to its location in the 300-block of Victoria Street.

DeCicco said he’s been looking forward to retirement for some time.

“I’m going to do some travelling,” he said. “I was 70 in December so, while I’m still in decent shape, I might as well

do something.”

His wife, Darlene, retired eight years ago and is equally excited.

“I’m looking forward to spending more time with John and also retiring as his bookkeeper,” she said.

“We’ve got nine grandkids we like to spend time with. It will be different, but we’ll enjoy our time together, for sure.”

DeCicco might be retiring, but the Continental Barber Shop isn’t going anywhere.

New owners Tabitha Iwaniuk and Jared Ray plan to keep the location’s charm — and its antique barber chairs — while bringing it into 2015.

“The pole isn’t going anywhere,” Iwaniuk said.

“I’m going to keep it as a barber shop, just do some updating, some renovations, and try to keep what John’s had going the same.

“He’s had 35 years in this place.”

Ray said any changes will be cosmetic.

“We want to keep it pretty much the same as how John had it,” he said.

“We’re going to bring it into 2015 — just give it a bit of a facelift.”

‘How lucky can you be?’

SIMKINS MOVES ON AFTER MORE THAN 35 YEARS OF SERVICE AT KAMLOOPS GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

S

tanding near the first tee, in shade underneath one of the course’s trademark willow trees, Harold Simkins reflected on his life’s work at Kamloops Golf and Country Club.

Intermittent cat calls emanating from the practice green — Adda boy, Harold! You’re famous, Harold! — briefly interrupted the interview, forcing the 65-year-old to smile, fracturing momentarily the stout man’s solemn disposition.

Hiding behind his dark sunglasses were welling eyes.

“They’re all friends, so it’s a bit emotional but, how lucky can you be, to be in a place like this, where people care about you?” said Simkins, who was hired to be the club’s assistant golf professional in 1979.

“In your heart, you feel good.”

Simkins is moving with wife Jeanna to Kimberley next week to work at Bootleg Gap Golf, a 27-hole facility run by his son, Trevor.

More than 200 people attended his send-off party at the venerable KGCC clubhouse last Sunday.

“That was unbelievable,” said Simkins, who came to Kamloops after stints working in Kelowna and Cranbrook. “I couldn’t believe how many people came to get rid of me.”

In the early 1980s, Simkins had more hair — and his infamous

peppery attitude was more prevalent than it is today, according to longtime KGCC member Art Worth.

“A lot of stuff at the beginning of his time with the club was negative,” said Worth, noting his friendship with Harold was antagonistic, filled with prodding and jibing.

“His personality wasn’t that good and he wasn’t a people person. The membership was not very happy with him, but he’s matured since then considerably, particularly since he took over as manager.”

Simkins was promoted to associate professional in the mid1980s and held that job until he became general manager and director of golf in 2011.

To the people who spoke with KTW, it was Simkins’ work when

he replaced retiring head pro and GM Mike Graas that will be his legacy.

“There were a lot of people who speculated Harold wouldn’t be able to do it once Mike retired — and he’s totally proven them wrong,” said assistant pro-shop manager Glenn Keltie, who has toiled at the Tranquille Road track for 27 years.

“When he was the No. 2 guy, Mike was always the one that had to be more diplomatic and Harold had the reputation of not taking any bullshit.

“He is a pretty fiery guy and had a bit of a temper on the golf course and so on, but he’s really become the consummate professional.”

Graas’s act was hard to follow, with 40 years of service at the KGCC earning him a place in the

Kamloops Sports Hall of Fame in 2011.

The course underwent a $3-million re-design and renovation beginning in September of 2009. The grand re-opening was held in July of 2011 and Simkins replaced Graas that fall.

With the abysmal state of the local golf market at the time, the KGCC found itself in a deep financial hole, with bills to pay and a lack of income leaving the club strapped.

“There are a lot of other people who have contributed to the process, but he has kept the club afloat,” said Bruce Tucker, whose first golf lesson was taught by Simkins in 1987.

“He’s worked extremely hard in the last few years to keep things going. That we paid our mortgage and the fact the club is still solvent is owed a lot to Harold.”

Simkins remembers the trying years that followed the renovation.

“It’s the most difficult thing I’ve done in my life,” he said.

“It was seven days a week, long hours and struggling to make the club claw its way back.

“Jeanna is the rock and, yeah, it’s emotional,” Simkins continued, fighting off tears. “I couldn’t have done it without her.

“All those late nights, she always knew I was out trying to make things better for us and for the club.”

Keltie credits Simkins for streamlining business operations when he took over, uniting three departments — pro shop, clubhouse and maintenance — under one umbrella and having each of

them answer to the GM. “Had it been any other club, where a pro doesn’t stay there for 40 years, Harold probably would have been the head guy a lot sooner,” Keltie said.

“It’ll be a big change without him around.

“When you’re working together this long, you’re going to butt heads occasionally, but we consider each other pretty good friends, I think.”

Simkins insists he never had a problem with being an associate pro for so long. He stayed in Kamloops because his wife had a great job at Royal Inland Hospital and he loves the KGCC. “I guess what I’m most proud of is the fact that I was able to come here as an assistant pro and work at one golf facility as a golf professional for well over 35 years,” said Simkins, whose oncourse body language is often a clear indicator of how his round is going. “That’s pretty rare in the golf business.

“But, I get emotional about the people,” Simkins continued.

“I don’t get emotional about the job. This is just a great place and there’s a lot of great people here.”

Simkins is replaced by Brice MacDermott, who occupies the roles of general manager and head professional.

“I just like to hope that people thought I did a good job, tried my best and it’s really important for me to hand it off to Brice,” Simkins said. “I really think he’ll take it to the next level.”

His golf buddies will miss their unique playing partner.

Blazers start again ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The rebuild begins today for the Thompson Blazers.

The Kamloopsbased B.C. Major Midget League club will get its spring identification camp underway tonight at Brock Arena.

The three-day event will wrap up on Sunday.

The spring camp is a means for the Blazers to identify talent and introduce players to the Thompson program.

The club will have the option of verbally committing to up to 12 players at the end of the weekend.

“We’re treating this as a new beginning,” recently hired Blazers head coach Don Schulz said.

“We’re not looking back at the past. That’s done. Now there’s a new future and we hope it’s a bright one.”

Under the leadership of new coaching and management, the Blazers are looking to claw their way out of the BCMML’s basement after picking up just eight victories in 80 games over their last two seasons.

The spring identification camp is the first opportunity the team will have to work with players on the ice. Schulz and his staff have gone on a recruiting binge in recent weeks, hosting presentations in Kamloops, 100 Mile House, Salmon Arm and Revelstoke in hopes of attracting more players to play for the Interior team.

Schulz said he

TRU SPORTS INFORMATION

Head coach Don Schulz is looking to rejuvenate the Thompson Blazers.

and his crew will be using this weekend’s event to get their first look at players, but also as a means of setting the tone for the new direction of the program.

Schulz and general manager Chris Hans will have 52 players at the camp — 16 defencemen, 25 forwards and 11 goaltenders.

Because players aren’t required to attend BCMML spring camps, the Blazers encouraged potential players to attend higher-level camps if the opportunity was available. Schulz said a number of players will be with the Salmon Arm Silver Backs of the junior A B.C. Hockey League this weekend.

“We’re pretty happy with the response,” he said. “It was only three or four weeks ago that there were only 15 skaters and five goalies.”

The head coach

said he hopes to have closer to 60 or 70 players on the ice when Thompson opens its main camp in August.

On the blue-line, Jaxon Reid, Garrett Ewert and Sunil Sahota will look to again suit up for the Blazers.

Brendan Gairdner, who was an affiliate player for Thompson last season, will also be at camp.

Up front, Matthew Facchinelli, Bennett Hunter, Austen McKean and Brendan Mongey are among the possible returnees. Affiliates Seiji Brown, Ryan Chyzowski and Tyson Gayfer will also look to make the roster as full-time players this season.

Between the pipes, Keyon Bittner and Aris Anagnostopoulos are hoping to again be the goaltending tandem for the Blazers this season, but will have competition from affiliate Kendra Woodland and eight other netminders for the club’s two goaltending spots.

The team isn’t done recruiting, either.

Schulz said he and his staff are still reaching out to players who left the Tournament

Capital in favour of attending hockey academies throughout the region.

There’s also good news when it comes to Western Hockey League prospects. Schulz and assistant coach Kevin Johnston were at the BC Cup last weekend, a tournament for some of the best under-16 players in the province, and touched base with a number of WHL teams in attendance.

“There, again, it was generally well-received by the Western league,” Schulz said of the program’s new direction.

“Now they’re confident that if they draft a player in this region, they’re certainly going to encourage that player to play for our program because they know they’re going to develop and we’re going to give them the tools to help get them ready to make the next step.”

Action gets underway tonight with a pair of practices. Saturday will include three practice sessions and an exhibition game to be played between the camp’s two rosters, as will Sunday.

‘He turned out to be a pretty good guy’ From page A13

“Harold’s one of the most interesting characters I know,” said Tucker, who has been on many a golf trip with Simkins, two members of a battle-scarred foursome that played a swan-song round together on Wednesday.

“If anyone is a self-made man, Harold is. He’s very giving, in his own way, and he’s very intelligent. The love of his life, besides

his wife, is the game of golf.

“I wish him all the best and I think we’ll continue to get together at his end or ours for a long many years to come.”

Yesterday was Simkins’ last day of employment at the KGCC. “He had the worst golf swing of any pro golfer I’ve ever seen,” Worth said with a laugh. “I told him he needed lessons.

“But, he turned out to be a pretty good guy.”

Prepare for Super Saturday in sports TIM REYNOLDS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The most-anticipated fight of all time. The best-known horse race.

The premier baseball rivalry. The NFL draft.

And those are just the highlights.

Super Saturday —

perhaps a day unlike any other in the history of sport — awaits.

Stock the refrigerator, replace the remote batteries, get the weekend errands done early, invite your friends, fire up that grill and if you’re very fortunate, confirm those flights. For the

sports consumer, an amazing number of options will be available.

From the Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao fight that could generate $400 million and topple every known record in boxing history, to the 141st edition of the

DOOR PRIZE S!

Kentucky Derby, to the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox colliding for the 2,142nd time, to the NFL draft’s finishing rounds and so much more, it’s a sports enthusiast’s dream.

The fight in Las Vegas is overshadowing all, with good reason.

“I don’t plan on being there,’’ said Masters champion Jordan Spieth, “but I may be.’’

Here’s the translation. Spieth is playing in the Match Play Championship at San Francisco — another really big event that won’t generate much of a blip this weekend because of everything else happening in the sports world. If he’s ousted before Saturday, his consolation prize is a trip to Vegas.

“There are tickets,’’ Spieth said.

Tickets, yes — ones he doesn’t want to use, but at least he has them.

Most people didn’t have a chance at getting into the MGM Grand this weekend, and some deep-pocketed folks have spent more than $250,000 for a pair of prime seats.

“I’ve never seen anything like this in my life,’’ said Freddie Roach, Pacquiao’s trainer.

He meant the spectacle surrounding the fight.

He could have just as easily been talking about the worldwide hubbub of what awaits on Super Saturday.

“It’s time to fight now . . . the biggest fight in boxing history,’’ Mayweather said.

THE FIGHT

The pay-per-

Floyd Mayweather

view in the U.S. for Mayweather-Pacquiao will cost around $100 to watch in your home, although at least one company is offering to comp the purchase for new subscribers to their service.

There are plenty of other options.

Pacquiao fans will be paying $34 apiece for a seat at Skinny Mike’s Sports Bar in Manila — on Sunday morning there, remember.

Front-row seats to watch from a casino are online for about $200, though that casino is actually in Hammond, Ind., and not Las Vegas.

And, in New York, you and 10 of your friends can watch at a club for $3,000, a steep price but one that includes six bottles of champagne, three bottles of liquor and platters of nachos, sliders, chicken fingers and pizza.

THE DERBY

A field of 20 will run for the roses at Churchill Downs and, while the Kentucky Derby might not be the best race of the year, it is certainly the most anticipated, unless a Triple Crown hopeful emerges.

About $125 million was bet on the Derby

last year, more than 160,000 fans are expected at Churchill and it’s not implausible to think — based on recent years — that 15 million or so will watch on television in the U.S. alone.

“It has become such an event,’’ Eclipse Award-winning trainer Todd Pletcher said.

And to think, it’s just part of the show on Saturday.

MORE CHOICES

NASCAR has qualifying at Talladega on Saturday, no small event on its schedule, either.

There’s an LPGA tournament, plus Detroit and Kansas City are squaring off in a matchup of two of baseball’s best teams early this season.

Yes, those will appeal to auto racing, golf and baseball fans.

But to those who love the magnitude of overthe-top events, they won’t compare to the big show in Vegas.

“They may not follow sports much but they like the big events,’’ said Stephen Espinoza, executive vice-president and general manager for Showtime Sports. “And this is a big event.’’

THE WORLD

The MayweatherPacquiao fight will be broadcast in at least 52 countries — and who knows how many will be able to access it online globally.

But, there’s some other big events around the globe Saturday as well, although again, they’ll all likely pale in comparison.

The European Rugby Champions

Cup Final between a pair of French clubs will be going on, Real Madrid will face Sevilla in a potentially very big Spanish soccer match, and the women’s singles and men’s doubles world champions in table tennis will be crowned in China.

THE PLAYOFFS

LeBron James will have Saturday off — he and the Cleveland Cavaliers won’t be playing again until Monday, so you know he’ll likely be watching this fight someplace.

The NHL playoffs will be going on, with Washington and the New York Rangers playing Game 2 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series.

Depending on what happens in other games, the NBA might have nothing scheduled that day, which would only give fans and players more time to enjoy everything else.

There’s also a chance the NBA could see one or two Game 7s to end the first round.

THE NFL DRAFT

Finally, there’s the big event of the NFL offseason — the draft, with the final four rounds coming on Saturday. It started yesterday and resumes with rounds two and three today.

This weekend the mighty NFL feels like an appetizer.

The last pick in the draft gets the title of “Mr. Irrelevant.’’

Given all going on in the sports world tomorrow, that may never be more appropriate.

Askew has plans for Sun Rivers grocer CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

Cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A developer with deep family roots in Kamloops, including in the food business, has purchased part of the proposed village centre at Sun Rivers and plans to build a long promised villagemarket grocer.

Allan Askew is now overseeing focus groups to tweak plans for a portion of the village centre. “It’s a real chance to help our local food producers,� said Askew, whose extended family owns and operates Askew’s Foods in Salmon Arm, Sicamous and Armstrong.

Askew’s father and grandfather operated Shamrock Meats in Kamloops’ downtown at the northeast corner of Victoria Street and Third Avenue.

He is a longtime property developer who started locally, moved to the Coast in the 2000s and came back home more recently to be closer to his father.

While he is still working on the plans, Askew said the broad idea is to build a 6,000- to 7,000-square foot village market grocer focusing on local foods and producers. Vendors would be allocated space within the market, where the focus is on locally produced food, including dairy, meat and fruit and vegetables.

It would be a draw citywide as well as providings staples for the residents of Sun Rivers, including Talasa buildings across the street.

Above it are planned six to seven residences about 1,200 to 1,600 square feet. “It’s a housing type whose time has come — a more pedestrianoriented loft-style residence above a commercial operation,�

Askew said.

Leslie Brochu, Sun Rivers Golf Resort’s vice-president of marketing and public relations, said the decision was made to parcel out the village centre. Three other parcels are intended for a hotel; restaurant, retail and professional; and an adult-oriented residen-

tial building of about 40 units. “What we’re doing now is working with individual develop-

ers, based on what we envision for each site,� she said.

Askew has recently construct-

ed two homes at Sun Rivers and another at Hidden Trails development in Mount Dufferin.

Y Obituaries & In Memoriam Z VIMY JANE WITTON (NEÉ MURRAY) June 21, 1917 - April 4, 2015

Saturday, April 4, 2015 Vimy passed away peacefully at The Hamlets in Kamloops, B.C. at the age of 97 years.

Predeceased by her husband Robert in 1994 and by her five sisters, Alice, May, Joan, Cora, and Jessie. Vimy is fondly remembered by her daughters, Eleanor (Trevor, deceased), Janet (Chuck) and son Jim and by her three grandchildren, Jennifer (Alex), Michael (Mimi), Natasha (Gerald) and her great grandsons, Ryder and Wyatt and her many nieces and nephews.

Vimy, the third daughter of Frank Murray and Laura Horner Murray, grew up in Kinsella, Alberta. As a young teenager Vimy began working at the Red and White Store, the general store in Kinsella. Vimy had a strong work ethic from an early age. The store was purchased in 1936 by Seth Witton, father of the young man Vimy married in 1938. Robert and his brother Lloyd operated the store together at first. In 1945 Vimy, Robert, and 3-year old Eleanor Ann moved to Zeballos on Vancouver Island. They ran the Zeballos General Store for 31 years and then retired to a much drier climate. While in Zeballos, Vimy became an insurance adjuster and saved all her earnings. Later on, when Robert and Vimy began their world travels she proudly bought the tickets. Vimy and Robert retired to Kelowna in 1977 and began wintering in the southern United States.

Generosity to her family and friends was important to Vimy. She highly valued her friendships and made a point of keeping in touch. Vimy was always a well-dressed woman of great class and poise. She was hardworking, strong, and faithful.

She was a dedicated bridge player all her life.

We extend a special thank-you to The Hamlets in Kamloops and their committed and caring staff.

All family and friends are invited to a Celebration of Vimy’s Life at 2 pm.

Saturday, May 9, at First Memorial Funeral Services at #8-177 Tranquille St., Kamloops, B.C. Cremation has already taken place. Flowers are gratefully declined. If you wish to make a donation in memory of Vimy consider the hospital in your community. Vimy generously supported both the Zeballos Hospital and Kelowna General Hospital.

Your acts of kindness and generosity made our burden more bearable. We thank you from the depths of our hearts. May you be blessed.

GORDON WOLDUM 1937 - 2015 The family of Gordon Woldum is sad to announce Gordon’s passing after a brief battle with cancer. He is lovingly remembered by his three children Doug, Rick (Cheryl), Debbie (John), and his five grandchildren (Nathan, JJ, Dylan, Amanda and Nicole). Also left to cherish his memory are his brother Nelson Woldum and sister Doreen Hamling. Gordon was pre-deceased by his wife, Jean, and his parents (Nathan and Alice).

Gordon was born July 11th, 1937 in Strathmore, Alberta and moved to Ocean Falls in 1942 where he lived for 7 years. In 1949 he moved to Nakusp where he completed his schooling, graduating in 1955. He then attended Calgary Technical School from 1956-1958 and 1959-1963 where he obtained his Automotive Journeyman Certificate and also completed his electrical apprenticeship.

He married Jean MacDonald in 1960 and in 1963 they moved to Prince Rupert, BC where Gordon worked at the pulp mill. After two years in Prince Rupert, Gordon obtained employment at the new pulp mill in Kamloops, BC where he worked for 9 years as a maintenance electrician. Gordon left the pulp mill in 1972 for the University College of the Cariboo (now Thompson Rivers University) where he taught electrical apprentices for 26 years until his retirement.

In 1984, the Canadian government seconded Gordon from UCC for two years to teach at the Ramogi Institute of Advanced Technology in Kisumu, Kenya. While there he established an electrical course for the Kenyan students. Gordon and Jean embraced this adventure by immersing themselves in the culture and travelling around the country.

Gordon was a member of the Kamloops Vintage car club for many years and enjoyed the time he spent rebuilding his 1941 Chev and 1952 Buick. He will be remembered for his love to talk and for his sense of humour (took pleasure in playing tricks on his workmates, friends and family over the years) .

The family would like to thank Dr. Anders for all his compassionate care over the years and to the amazing staff at the Kamloops Hospice who made it possible for Gordon to spend his final days in comfort and dignity. Thanks also goes to his good friend, Ron Buck, for keeping him company since Jean passed away last year.

A service will be held to remember Gordon on Saturday, May 9th at Schoening Funeral Chapel, 513 Seymour Street, Kamloops.

If friends so desire, donations may be made in Gordon’s name to the Kamloops Hospice Association.

JAMES PHILLIPS (PHIL) HALLINAN September 7, 1940 – April 28, 2015 Phil passed peacefully away at hospice after a lengthy illness at the age of 74 years.

Left to cherish his memory are his wife of 53 years Rita, son David (Phyllis), daughter Vera, grandchildren Grant (Teresa), Kristen (Ryan), Georgia, David, James and great-grandson Zackery. Phil is also fondly remembered by his sister Sheilagh (Irv), brother Bruce, stepsister Diana, stepbrother Harry (Brenda), sister-in-law Vera, brother-in-law Edward (Deb), his nieces and nephews Catherine, Ken (Deanna), Kathy (Gordon), Amy, Cyd, Jennifer, Robin, Tyler and Erin. Phil is also lovingly remembered by his aunt Betty Fribance.

Phil was predeceased by his father George, mother Kathleen, and stepmother Patricia.

Phil was born in Princeton, but raised on Copper Mountain where he lived until his teenage years. There he developed a love and appreciation for nature and in particular, he enjoyed hunting and fly-fishing. His love of the outdoors was evident throughout his life.

Phil was a creative thinker who had the gift of being able to re-invent himself. After working for Evans Products for 28 years, a job that returned him to the interior, Phil then worked in a variety of jobs involving the outdoors, retiring at 69 from Fraser Basin Council, Shuswap Region. Phil was also an avid volunteer in many outdoor organizations at the local, provincial and national levels. He discovered a new passion for supporting the outdoors by writing and eventually becoming the editor for the BCWF publication, The Outdoor Edge.

He was a true steward of the earth and he imparted this knowledge, respect and love of the outdoors to his family. Happy times with the family included hunting with his Labrador Retrievers, fly-fishing, camping and driving in the bush spotting wildlife.

Special thanks and appreciation to Marianne Arduini and to the Home First Program’s dedicated team and to all the doctors and nurses who cared for Phil. Thank you to the staff of the Ponderosa Adult Day Program who brought joy to Phil. Thank you to our extended family and friends for your love and support. Your kindness will be remembered always.

A funeral mass celebrating Phil’s life will be held at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish, 635 Tranquille, Kamloops and will be celebrated by Father Martin on Thursday, May 7, 2015 at 11:00am.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home or a charity of your choice.

Rise Up Slowly . . .

Diane Robertson

Jordan (Jordie) Martin passed peacefully at Royal Inland Hospital on April 28th, 2015 at 8:00am.

He was a well-known logger; son of Wally and Del Martin.

Rise up slowly, Angel.

Do not leave me here, alone, Where the warmth of mortal essence Lies replaced by cold, hard stone.

Wrap me in a downy cape Of sunshine, warm with love, And kiss a tear-stained mother’s face With moonlight from above.

Rise up slowly, Angel.

I cannot let you go.

Just drift softly ‘midst the faces, In sorrow now bent low.

Speak to me in breezes, Whispered through the drying leaves, And caress my brow with raindrops Filtered by the sheltering trees.

Then, wait for me at sunset, Beside the lily pond, And guide me safely homeward To your world, which lies beyond.

Ease the searing anger, ..... Born in harsh, unyielding truth That Death could steal my loved one From the glowing blush of youth.

Rise up slowly, Angel, For I cannot hear the song Which calls you through the shadows Into the light beyond.

Just spread your arms to take me In reunion’s sweet embrace, And we shall soar, together, To a different time and place.

Predeceased by his sister Lee Egeley.

Survived by sister Dorothy Marini, and brother Barry Martin.

There will be no service by request.

take; both authors specified “Isaiah,” not “the prophets,” and omitted the portion from Malachi.

Moreover, Matthew is all but universally believed to have been a Jew writing to Jews — surely his readers would have been aware of the Jewish custom so why drop the reference to Malachi?

Simple: Matthew knew it was a mistake and didn’t want to perpetuate it.

Evidently, Matthew and Luke were sometimes troubled by Mark’s depiction of Jesus and his disciples.

For instance, when a storm came up as they sailed on the Sea of Galilee — and Jesus happened to be sleeping — Mark records the disciples shouting, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” (Mark 4:38).

His wording portrays the disciples as disrespectful and Jesus as uncaring.

Matthew decides to neutralize this negative image with “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”

(Matthew 8:25).

This gets them all off the hook.

Likewise, Luke changes Mark’s wording to “Master, Master, we are perishing!” (Luke 8:24).

It doesn’t end there.

Once Jesus had awakened and calmed the storm, Mark claims he asked the disciples, “Have you no faith?”

Apparently, inferring the disciples had no faith was too harsh for Matthew and Luke.

Matthew softens it to “you of little faith” while Luke claims Jesus said, “Where is your faith?”

In Mark, a rich man calls Jesus “Good Teacher,” to which Jesus responds “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone” (Mark 10:17-18).

It appears Matthew believed Jesus would never have said such a thing so Matthew says the rich man referred to Jesus only as “Teacher” and then, as most modern translations agree, he claims Jesus asked, “Why do you ask me about what is good?”

(Matthew 19:16-17).

Most Christians believe they are reading the words of Jesus in the gospels, but this is not even close to being true.

Matthew has destroyed the meaning of words supposedly spoken by Jesus himself.

In Mark 15:34, Jesus is hanging from the cross crying out, “My God, my God, why have you for-

saken me?”

Some readers could find such a question troubling.

Apparently, Luke did; he chose to delete this potentially embarrassing quotation.

Instead, he presents a more submissive Jesus uttering, “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit” just before he “breathed his last” (Luke 23:46).

John contradicts him by claiming Jesus said, “It is finished” as he “gave up his spirit” (John 19:30).

To insist this blatant redacting was the work of God is ludicrous.

Even those who maintain no copying or editing ever took place still face all the contradictions.

The shameless, unbridled editing of Mark by Matthew and Luke has sobering implications.

It means practically everything we think we know about Jesus has been handed down to us by fallible men who, far from being inspired by God, were downright dishonest.

Suit targets Loblaws over factory collapse THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — A Toronto law firm has launched a proposed class-action lawsuit against retail giant Loblaws and its Joe Fresh clothing line over the collapse of a factory in Bangladesh that killed more than 1,100 people.

The lawsuit filed by the Rochon Genova firm is being launched on behalf of those who survived the collapse of the Rana Plaza and the

estates and dependants of those who died in the building.

A statement of claim filed in Ontario Superior Court notes many of the Joe Fresh clothing line garments were made in the Rana Plaza factory, which was operated by Loblaws Bangladeshi subcontractors.

The statement of claim alleges Loblaws knew before the collapse that Bangladesh factories had “an extremely poor record”

of workplace safety standards and industrial building standards.

It alleges Loblaws was aware there was a “significant and specific risk’’ to workers who manufactured Joe Fresh garments and who were employed by their subcontractors in Bangladesh.

A spokesman for Loblaws says the claim is “without merit’’ and adds the company plans to vigorously defend itself.

Rana Plaza was outside the Bangladeshi capital of Dhaka and

housed five garment factories when it collapsed in 2013, killing

1,127 people and injuring about 2,500.

The incident is con-

sidered Bangladesh’s worst industrial disaster.

Some looks are NOT forever.

Schoenborn promises to try to control his anger COQUITLAM — A B.C. man who murdered his three children has promised he won’t try to escape if he gets permission to go on escorted outings from a psychiatric hospital.

Under intense questioning by a Crown lawyer, Allan Schoenborn told the B.C. Review Board that he would walk away if someone calls him a child killer.

Schoenborn stayed calm while answering, saying he would try to control his anger in certain situations.

His psychiatrist and the hospital’s director are advocating for Schoenborn’s limited access to the community, but the Crown maintains he is still a threat to public safety.

Schoenborn killed

his daughter and two sons in their Merritt home in April 2008 and was found not criminally responsible due to a mental disorder.

The victims’ family opposes freedom for Schoenborn. The hospital director says outings would help his rehabilitation and involve a high level of supervision over only a few hours.

B.C. teen investigated for attempted murder VANCOUVER — Police said a 16-year-old West Vancouver resident is being investigated for attempted murder after a violent attack on a family member.

Officers said the severe assault left the victim with many bruises and abrasions and apparently involved a weapon.

Police said the male suspect was arrested at an apartment shortly after the attack.

The victim, who is expected to fully recover, was able to escape with the help of a friend and was brought to police headquarters.

Several charges are being recommended against the suspect including attempted murder, assault with a weapon and uttering threats.

The suspect’s

identity has not been revealed because of his age, but police say he is expected to undergo a psychiatric examination before a court appearance set for today.

NL ups taxes, fees in election year

Bell won’t release report on journalistic independence at CTV role earlier this year after he admitted trying to influence how CTV should cover a policy decision made by the CRTC on “pick-andpay’’ options for TV channels.

His abrupt departure raised questions about whether KEVIN he had CRULL dabbled in other news stories of interest to the company.

CTV is a division of Bell Media, a company with assets in TV, radio, and the Internet.

Bell Media in turn is owned by BCE, the country’s largest telecommunications firm.

Before his exit, Crull said his only intention was to suggest media coverage of the decision focus on “a broad and necessary discussion’’ of how the CRTC

DAVID FRIEND

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — An internal report on the journalistic independence of staff at CTV News will not be released to the public, said George Cope, the head of Bell Media’s parent company BCE Inc. Cope told reporters a series of recommendations were made earlier this week by a committee formed of members from BCE’s board of directors.

From those suggestions, he said a new policy will be implemented to “enhance’’ the independence of journalists and the president of CTV News from the rest of the company.

The details will be part of a code of conduct for all BCE employees, BCE said.

The move follows Bell Media president Kevin Crull leaving his

decision would impact the telecommunications industry.

Cope said the independence of CTV journalists is “critical’’ to the network, but he said the new report wasn’t designed to enhance transparency. “We just want to ensure that it does not happen again, and that we took action when it did happen,’’ he said after the BCE annual meeting. “We’re a company, and we have governance we put in place.

I think our actions have spoken on the topic,’’ he added.

Within the new report, Cope said the company has added enhancements’ to ensure that, if another similar occurrence unfolded with conflictof-interest concerns, “additional things’’ would be in place to make sure it didn’t escalate into a problem.

He said that would include the president of CTV News having the ability to contact him or an internal audit committee over their concerns.

When asked whether CTV news executives could have done that before, Cope declined to provide further details. “We’ve spoken on this topic, we’ve taken action and that’s the only comment I have,’’ he said.

The committee was formed earlier this month at Cope’s request and included Paul Weiss, chair of BCE’s audit committee and a director at Torstar, as well as BCE directors former journalist and politician Carole Taylor and Ian Greenberg, who cofounded Astral Media.

Other members were fellow directors Robert Simmonds and Thomas O’Neill.

ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — Taxpayers in Newfoundland and Labrador are going to pay more as the provincial government looks for ways to cope with a downturn in oil and commodity prices in the budget it tabled Thursday.

The most noticeable tax change is an increase in the harmonized sales tax, which jumps by two percentage points to 15 per cent on Jan. 1, 2016.

Even with the new revenue, the $8.1-billion budget for 2015-16 still forecasts a $1.1-billion deficit.

Finance Minister Ross Wiseman said the budget reflects the province’s economic reliance on resources. “We’re optimistic that oil will recover, commodity prices will recover,’’ he told a news conference. “We’re a resource province and one of the challenges of being a resource province, you’re exposed to those kinds of vulnerabilities. “What we’re trying to do now is manage our way through that process.’’ Wiseman is also forecasting deficits totalling $1.6 billion for the next three fiscal years, with economic contraction and higher unemployment through 2018.

The province’s real gross domestic

product is predicted to shrink by 0.3 per cent this year and by 1.6 per cent in each of the next two years.

Unemployment is projected to go from 12.4 per cent this year to 13.3 per cent by 2018.

For now, Wiseman said the Progressive Conservative government has chosen a balanced approach of borrowing, tax hikes and modest spending increases because it doesn’t want to shock the economy.

The Tories have held a majority in the legislature since 2003 and are expected to call an election this fall.

The budget includes 35 fee hikes on everything from drivers’ licences to public swimming. The higher fees are expected to raise about $18 million.

The government is also bringing in new tax rates for the highest income earners.

A modest $3-million surplus is forecast for the 2019-20 fiscal year, when the province expects oil prices return to US$90 a barrel.

The province relies on offshore oil revenues for about one-third of its revenues. It has been hit hard since Brent crude slid to about US$66 a barrel from a high of US$115 last June.

Springing into Sound

ORCHESTRA WILL CELEBRATE FILM’S 50TH ANNIVERSARY

ANDREA KLASEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

W

hen the music swells at the end of the Thompson Valley Orchestra’s spring performance, it won’t just be guest tenor Paul Moore’s voice filling the Calvary Community Church.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the film version of The Sound of Music, the TVO is encouraging its audience to sing along to some of the musical’s most popular songs, from My Favourite Things to Climb Every Mountain.

“Paul and myself will lead the audience sing-along at the end to all of our favourite songs,” said Christa Keppel-Jones, a soprano and the TVO’s administrator.

The Thompson Valley Orchestra’s spring performance is at Calvary Community Church on Saturday.

“We’ll have lyrics printed in the program so they know what they are, so you’re not doing what I did the first time I heard the orchestra play it — ‘oh yeah, I know that song.

“Now, what are the words?’”

With more than 50 players in the orchestra, Keppel-Jones said audiences can expect a rich sound for both their singing performance and the show overall.

“Right now, we’ve got over 20 violins

alone and when you add in violas and cellos and our brass instruments, there’s a good crowd,” she said.

Players of all ages are welcome in the orchestra, which includes both schoolaged performers and those well beyond retirement.

For the spring program, TVO will bring its mix of classical and popular music to the stage once again with selections from Mozart and Schubert as well

as Broadway favourite Les Miserables.

Moore brings a similar approach to his performance, with a variety of songs ranging from classic arias to tunes from the musical South Pacific.

The Vernon-based, Julliard-trained tenor last performed in Kamloops with the Vivace Chorale in a production of Haydn’s The Creation.

“He does everything from your most Pavarotti-style opera with those searing high notes that make everyone gasp right to more popular songs,” said Keppel-Jones.

TVO’s Spring Serenade runs Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Calvary Community Church, 1250 Rogers Way. Tickets are available at the door for $10 for adults, or $5 for children.

Family tickets are $25.

The annual production of the school’s theatre students is set in a 1950s-era diner, owned by Uncle Phil, where everyone has gathered on a Friday evening and waits for the planned entertain-

When the group doesn’t show up, “hilarity ensues as they make up the entertainment as they go along,” said director and teacher Rod Simmons.

Everything you’d expect to see from that decade is present — the rat-tail combs, leather jacket-clad guys, girls in poodle skirts and, of course, the nerd contingent, identifiable by their glasses and truly

The music is vintage, as well, with classics like My Guy, Lollipop, The Locomotion and Hand Jive.

Casey Race plays Phil’s mom, a woman the Grade 9 student says has two loves — bingo and knitting.

Simmons said the students decide on the play each year and invariably they pick musicals.

Since it’s part of

the curriculum at the school, all the students in the class are involved in some way, from the large cast to the hands controlling the sound and lights.

While the school usually has a multiday run of their spring plays, this year it is tonight only, at Full Gospel Tabernacle, 1550 Tranquille Rd. Simmons said the play is pairing up with a silent auction raising money to revitalize its gym, an expense the provincial government doesn’t subsidize. The school is half-way to that goal. Donations of $25 or more are taxdeductible.

Tickets for the production are available at the school.

Asparagus needles in a haystack

olfers have wandered into the clubhouse at Pineridge Golf Course with sticks that aren’t irons or woods.

My uncle often ventures around Orchards Walk with his poodle Roosevelt, returning home with a side dish for supper.

It’s a well-kept secret in Valleyview — because, who would share access to free asparagus, fresh for the picking?

It’s a mystery I’ve been trying to crack.

I’ve bugged my uncle — all but begged him — the last few years to take me hunting for the tasty vegetable and he always vows to show me where it grows.

The next thing I know, however, I’ll catch him posting pho-

n to be on the inside nity w when it comes to the o outdoor secret.

At our most recent f family gathering, he p promised once more a the idea of handand p picked asparagus s sautÊed in lemon b butter with salt and p pepper — or, perhaps, barbecued for a smoky grilled flavour — gave me the slightest hope he would.

Then someone else asked to join us and he agreed with a wink.

And, in that moment, I knew I had been chasing a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow — he was never going to reveal the secret.

I searched online and found information from the Kamloops Trails website.

Asparagus grows in moist, open spots in the Kamloops area, it said, and has been seen in the flood lands

tographs of asparagus on Facebook. “This morning’s pick,� came a post just this past weekend. “That’s like $20 in organic asparagus there! Nice haul!� posted one commenter.

It has left me sitting behind my computer screen salivating, all the while with a bitter taste in my mouth.

I’ve even tried raising the stakes for the stalks, bartering dinners for the opportu-

seeds had naturally spread to various areas all the way to Dallas and even across the river.

Well, I thought, it’s about five kilometres or so to Pineridge Golf Course and you can go a couple of kilometres up to Juniper from there and further yet to make it across the river in the other direction.

That roughly makes for a 20-squarekilometre haystack to find the tiny needles of asparagus.

Add to that identifying it among other plants in the area and timing its growing season.

I haven’t cracked the mystery, but I’m getting closer to figuring it out.

And, when I do, I look forward to posting photos of my bounty on Facebook.

Oh — and I’m not telling.

near Kamloops Lake and on the Valleyview silt bluffs trails, which comprise trails all over Valleyview.

I was no closer to cracking the code.

My mother, who grew up in the Valleyview area, remembers picking asparagus in fields after a rainy day in the River City.

It was a time when there were plenty of apples growing in the valley and Orchards Walk had yet to become a subdivision.

I asked her — straight up — do you know where to find the asparagus?

Her reply was as menacing as my uncle’s Facebook posts. “Ha, ha, ha, ha, wouldn’t you like to know?�

She couldn’t tell me exactly where to find it, but said prior to the area’s development,

Memories from Bellingham HANS TAMMEMAGI

Mount Baker makes for a beautiful and vast horizon in Washington.

riving south from Vancouver, I was soon across the United States border exploring the northwest corner of Washington state — rich in natural beauty and a foodie’s paradise.

I settled into the Semiahmoo Resort, which is no ordinary hostelry.

Located at the tip of a curving, mile-long spit — a county park — the resort is secluded and surrounded by nature.

A cannery operated there from 1882 to 1964 and several of the buildings, including an iconic tower, have been preserved and incorporated into the resort.

Historic photos and artifacts abound there is a sense of times past.

Next morning, under a cobaltblue sky, I joined a bird-watching group. Led by Paul Woodcock, a passionate birder and three-time president of the North Cascades Audubon Society, we set off along a shoreline teeming with herons, gulls and eagles.

“This spot is one of best birdwatching areas in the northwest,” he said, pointing to eel grass in the shallows.

“The grass is crucial, attracting small fish, which attract bigger fish, which attract birds.”

Pointing to a long-tailed duck, he noted it can dive to a depth of 200 feet.

“You’ve got to return for the Birding Festival in mid-March,” he said. “The place goes crazy.”

In the afternoon, I hiked to the Alaska Packers Association Museum, housed in an original cannery building.

I wandered among the displays which revive 1873 to 1968 when a salmon cannery operated at the site of the Semiahmoo

Resort receiving fish from Alaska.

A scale model of a large salmon trap, antique machinery and historic photos made those times come alive.

I loved the film of early tall ships and imagined being high in a crow’s nest.

As the sun settled lower, I squeezed into a kayak and paddled into the bay. Dozens of seals were flopped on the marina dock, their big round eyes watching me warily.

Behind them, Mount Baker lay like a sleeping giant on the

horizon and there was a glorious feeling of oneness with the watery realm.

The next day, hungry from hiking and exploring, the C Shop in Birch Bay beckoned.

I rushed through a lunch of pizza and chowder because my sweet tooth was calling. The owners explained that C stands for candy, which the family-run business has been producing for more than 40 years.

Shelves groaned under mounds of candies and baked goodies — and a large batch of

peanut brittle was in the making.

With the rich, still-warm caramel sticking to my teeth, I was in heaven.

I was drawn, lemming-like, to Mount Baker, a constant sentinel on the skyline. Ranger Magenta took me in tow and we drove high up to the Heliotrope Trailhead.

As we headed out, driving in rain, Magenta rolled her eyes at my shorts and a sopping-wet camping hat, in contrast to the svelte, younger, Goretex-clad hikers sharing the trail.

broken by water cascading down from the melting glaciers and crossing streams was something of an adventure.

We hiked upwards into the snowline. On steeper pitches, we kicked steps to avoid a long sliding tumble.

When we reached Survey Rock, the rain let up.

I gasped at the enormous, steel-blue glacier, criss-crossed with treacherous-looking crevasses.

An ominous cracking sound enveloped us, adding to the drama. High above us, climbers headed for the summit.

That evening, famished, I wandered into the Semiahmoo Resort’s Pierside Kitchen.

Our starter, a chilled shellfish and crustacean plateau was loaded with oysters, mussels, crab claws, clams and more.

Two charcuterie platters followed with cheeses, salamis and artisan bread. Chowder too, was served.

Chef Eric Truglas — a transplanted Frenchman — emerged from the kitchen to explain the steaming, spicy cioppino with saffron, mussels and prawns, cooked in a wood-fired oven.

By now, the wine and culinary extravagance was taking effect. A delicious roast chicken and halibut with artichokes and heirloom tomatoes floated past. The pièce de résistance was a cedar-plank salmon.

I only vaguely remember the desserts and, content, I waddled back to my room.

When the customs official at the border asked what I was bringing back, I smiled and thought: a thousand wonderful memories.

Densifying downtown: Tax break for residential developers

DEVIN STOPPED IN FOR A MOTHER’S DAY CARD, GOT A TRUCK WASH AND FOUND A FEW TACOS TO NOSH.

Residential developers in downtown Kamloops will soon get a break on their taxes even if they don’t include rental units in their projects.

Kamloops city council has agreed to expand its downtown tax exemptions to include a 10-year, 100 per cent break on municipal taxes for projects that include new residential units.

Previously, the city had offered a tax break for residential projects in which at least 50 per cent of the units built are for rent Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association (KCBIA) general manager Gay Pooler said the association lobbied for the creation of the original tax exemption, but amendments were later made to restrict it to rental units.

“Ever since they did that we’ve been lobbying to have it changed back again,” she said.

“We just want residential downtown and to restrict it to rental was too restrictive for developers. It was not that well received.”

The KCBIA is making downtown densification a priority, so Pooler said the amendment comes at a good time, saying it can make a difference as to whether a project is economically viable.

“We want more people living downtown,” she said. “It’s a key thing for a complete and vibrant neighbourhood.

“Here is an added incentive. It shows the developers we are serious about having densification downtown.”

For your shopping convenience, we have 2 hour free parking (patrons only) conveniently located between 3rd and 6th avenue on Lansdowne St.

Spring festival

YOU

Downtown Kamloops to welcome spring with contests, entertainment and sidewalk sales Downtown Kamloops is kicking off the warmer months with its annual spring festival.

The event, which runs from Thursday, May 14, to Saturday, May 16, is a chance for businesses and restaurants in the centre of the city to open their doors and patios, step into the streets and welcome spring to the city. “It’s going to be a good time to come and rediscover the awesome downtown neighbourhood,� said Gay Pooler, general manager of the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association.

Alongside the festival, the KCBIA is launching the downtown Kamloops festival pass. Every time you spend $25 at a participating downtown merchant or restaurant you get a stamp. Once you collect five stamps, you get entered into a grand-prize draw as well as weekly draws that can win you some great downtown swag and prizes. The contest will run through the summer.

Schedule of events and activities

For all three days • Live music on the 200, 300 and 400 blocks of Victoria Street from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. • Live painting of mini-murals.

• Live chalk art on the wall of the CIBC. • Merchant and restaurant sales and specials.

Thursday, May 14 • Noon to 2 p.m. — Kick off to the spring festival and downtown Kamloops’ festival of experiences in front of city hall. A celebration of 30 years of the B.C. Lottery Corporation “playing it forwardâ€? in Kamloops with live music, hamburgers and prizes.

LAW Downtown is Gillespie & Company LLP ACCIDENTS AND REDUCED EARNING CAPACITY

W

hat if you can’t earn as much because you were hurt in a car crash? You may be forced to find an easier but lower-paying job and not make as much as before the accident. Lawyers call this loss “diminished earning capacity.�

This work-related loss is one of many losses you could be compensated for if the crash was caused by another’s fault.

Now what if your earnings don’t go down after the accident? Can you still get compensation for “diminished earning capacity�? You might think that because your income didn’t decrease, your ability to earn hasn’t been reduced. But this approach is too simple and can be unfair, as a recent case illustrates.

Colleen, 46, was injured in two car accidents, one after the other. She hurt her neck, shoulder and upper back, resulting in chronic widespread pain (diagnosed as fibromyalgia). Before the accidents, she was highly energetic and motivated. She had a fast-paced job as an executive secretary to the president of a large organization, which she loved.

All that changed. Because of her chronic pain – only endured with lots of pain killers and anti-inflammatory medications – she couldn’t handle the demands of her job anymore nor the three-hour (both ways) commute it involved.

Colleen sold her house to move to a smaller home with fewer stairs. She also found a new easier job, where the commute was only 20 minutes. Switching jobs was “a huge blow� and “far less rewarding in terms of job satisfaction,� said the trial judge who initially decided her case. Yet, by happenstance, her new job paid more, and so she didn’t suffer an immediate loss of earnings.

Still, her lawyers were able to prove that she suffered a reduction in her capacity to earn (which the appeal court agreed with).

The circle of secretarial or administrative positions that she could compete for in future had narrowed because of the limitations imposed by her injuries. In short, she became less marketable as an employee and less capable overall of taking advantage of all employment opportunities that might come her way.

As well, the trial judge concluded there was a real and substantial possibility that Colleen would have been promoted to a director position had she been able to stay there – at a higher salary and with improved health and pension benefits. (This particular finding was over-turned on appeal as speculative only, reducing her compensation award somewhat.) And there was a real possibility that because of her injuries (which had plateaued or possibly could even worsen), her working career would likely end earlier than it would if the accident hadn’t occurred.

Overall, she proved she had suffered a loss in her capacity to earn future income. The BC Court of Appeal ultimately awarded Colleen $275,000 for diminished earning capacity.

If you’re injured in an accident, consult your lawyer. He or she can help you receive the fair compensation that you may be entitled to receive.

Fresh finds at the market The Kamloops Farmers’ Market is back for another summer.

Among the over 100 participating businesses, manager Annelise Grube-Cavers is excited to welcome new agricultural vendors as well as new artisans.

“New farmers always bring new products so they’ll be growing different varieties, which is really nice,” she said.

Everything from radishes to kale, carrots to zucchini will be available throughout the summer.

Dry herbs, fresh herbs, seasoned

butter spreads, several different kinds of tomatoes and berries will be for sale.

The market also boasts a selection of meats including poultry, different kinds of sausage, turkey, lamb, pork and beef.

“You can basically find everything you need to cook your meals at the market,” Grube-Cavers said.

Among the new artisans, there will be homemade soaps and lotions, some made from organic beeswax.

New honey vendors from Lumby and Merritt will join the many crafters and bakers.

Massage therapy and acupuncture booths will also return.

“Almost every single vendor has been returning from the last many years because it’s such a successful place for their business, so that’s great,” Grube-Cavers said.

Not every vendor attends each week, but many appear at both the Saturday and Wednesday markets.

A vendor list is kept up to date at kamloopsfarmersmarket.com,

where you can check who will appear each week.

The first Saturday market of each month will feature a live band. If you need to drive, check the Seymour Street parkade where parking is free every Saturday.

The Saturday market is held in the 200 block of St. Paul St. and the Stuart Wood schoolyard from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. until Oct. 31.

The Wednesday market, beginning May 6, is held in the 400 block of Victoria St. from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. until Oct. 28.

CAP team back on streets in May

The downtown customer care and patrol (CAP) team has begun training and will return to the streets from May 7 to Aug. 29.

This year, eight young adults will patrol and engage with tourists, customers and businesses who visit and operate in our downtown core.

CAP team members can be seen patrolling the streets Monday through Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sundays, from noon to 8 p.m. The team functions as extra eyes and ears for police, bylaw and emergency medical services.

Its job is to respond to businesses and customer needs and to ensure that the right authorities are contacted when needed.

Each member is knowledgeable about downtown Kamloops and the surrounding area in order to deliver outstanding service to tourists and customers downtown.

To best assist visitors and patrons downtown, the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association will be opening a customer care and visitor centre at 340 Victoria Street — a great place to pop by to find out what is going on downtown and when.

The team will also be showcasing some of the #fabfinds from different retailers found in downtown.

The CAP team can be contacted by phone, at 250-572-3008, and email, at capteam@kcbia. com. The information centre can be reached at 250-572-3017.

MOTHER’S DAY

Mother’s Day Last-minute tips for her special day With Mother’s Day just around the corner, the Better Business Bureau is giving doting children of all ages some last minute tips to make sure you — and mom — have a great Mother’s Day experience.

Last year, consumers have filed 58 complaints against florists and jewelers.

Danielle Primrose, president and CEO of BBB of Mainland B.C., says it is crucial to make smart buying decisions, rather than hasty or emotional ones.

“When we get caught up in the last minute hunt to find the perfect gift, we might ignore good judment and overlook the fine print or other important details of a potential illegitimate or unsuitable

offer,” she says.

BBB recommends the following tips when shopping for Mother’s Day: • Research first.

Check out the business’s BBB Business Review for a history of complaints and additional details. Ask friends and family which florist, jeweler or retailer they recommend.

• Visit the business.

This way, consumers can determine the quality and reputation of the business.

If you can’t check out the business in person, call the business to verify their location and contact information.

• Ask about guarantees and special offers.

Request a written receipt

for the order and ask about the business’s refund policy if the delivery is late, never arrives or is in bad condition.

Inquire about special terms and conditions, extra costs and other fine print that may affect the price.

• Make secure online purchases.

Check to see if the payment page URL reads as https, not http, indicating the site is secure. Never enter your personal information in a pop-up screen.

• Allow time for shipping and delivery.

Ask about delivery time to ensure your purchase arrives on time.

MOTHER’S DAY

Find the perfect gift As Mother’s Day approaches, many of us find ourselves wandering through the plethora of gifts available for Mom, trying to find just the right gift for our special lady.

Here are some great options for the mother in your life: • The traditional gifts never go out of style.

A beautiful bouquet of flowers or a lovely potted plant will make many a woman thrilled on Mother’s Day. In many areas, lilies bloom near Mother’s Day, and can be a lovely remainder to her every year of your devotion.

• Jewelry is always a wonderful idea; for the new mother or grandmother, try a bracelet or necklace with charms with the baby’s birthstone for a gift she’ll treasure for years.

• If the mother for whom you’re shopping is more difficult to please, perhaps a gift basket with an assortment of similar items would suit her fancy.

Such a basket could easily include things like candles, chocolates, bath items, jewelry — even clothing.

Just make sure that it’s something that speaks to her as an individual, and she’s that much more likely to love it.

• Many ladies have hobbies which are near and dear to them.

If the mother for whom you’re shopping is like this, why not find something to enhance their favorite free time

activity? If she’s a scrapbooker, consider a fabulous new bag in which she can carry all of her supplies, a punch she’s been eyeing for awhile, or a subscription to her favorite magazine for layout ideas.

• For the gardener, a new pair of comfortable garden clogs or a special type of seed might be just what she needs to brighten her summer.

• The mother who loves to cook would especially enjoy a new gadget that would cut her prep time in half or an ingredient on which she wouldn’t normally splurge like exceptional cooking chocolate or perfectly aged herbed oil.

• A gift that’s specialized to her interests is sure to bring a smile to her face.

If the mother in your life is like many modern women, constantly scurrying from one side of town to the other and always on the go, help her splurge on herself this Mother’s Day. • A gift certificate to a local spa for a day of pampering would more than help to soothe her worries away.

If a whole day of pampering is out of your range, try a great warmed stones massage or maybe a manicure and pedicure combination.

For the lady for whom it’s absolutely impossible to get out of the house to pamper herself, why not bring the pampering to her. There are many wonderful home spa kits available that are sure to

reinvigorate her.

Whether it’s something like a home pedicure bath or just a collection of effervescent bath salts, the little things will help to make her Mother’s Day more memorable.

• Have a mother in your life who just has it all or just is trying to minimize?

Then a gift that includes time with you would be welcomed without adding to her household clutter.

Try tickets to the theater, symphony, or a ballet. Maybe a gift certificate to her favorite restaurant would suit.

Or maybe just a collection of tickets for tasks that you’ll take care of for her in the near future.

If you include yourself in the gift, you can’t go wrong. Most importantly, though, give her Mother’s Day off.

Nothing will make her feel more treasured than knowing that you care enough to take over for the day.

If there’s a dinner planned, make sure you can prepare and cook as much of it as possible.

If there are children around, take charge of them for the day.

Give her this day as downtime and it will recharge her batteries better than any gift could do.When it comes right down to it, what a mother wants most of all is to know that you love her and appreciate all that she does and continues to do.

Mother’s Day

Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.
