CITY FINED $30K FOR SEWAGE LEAK INTO RIVER EMPLOYEE ERRORS LED TO ENOUGH SEWAGE TO FILL TWO CANADA GAMES POOLS TO FLOW INTO THE SOUTH THOMPSON; PUBLIC WAS NOT NOTIFIED The City of Kamloops’ O’Connor lift station in Dallas, from which 4,300 cubic metres of sewage was released into a nearby creek and drainage ditches, which drain into the South Thompson River.
ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Eight months after it released about five-million litres of sewage into the South Thompson River, the City of Kamloops is coming clean about its mistake — but questions remain as to why it took so long for the public to be notified of the September spill. Mayor Peter Milobar downplayed the decision to keep the sewage backup under wraps until the province had finished its investigation and penalized the city, saying there was no health risk from the spill. “In the grand scheme of things, it’s not a large volume. In terms of what was happening, there wasn’t really much anyone could do once it had already happened,” he said. At a Community Environmental Justice Forum earlier this month, the city was ordered to spend $20,000 on fish-habitat rehabilitation on Tranquille Creek and install $8,000 worth of alarms on its
sewage system to prevent a similar backup from going undetected. Milobar said the penalties themselves show the incident was “very minor.” City public works director Jen Fretz chalked up some of the decision to a mistake on the city’s part. As is required, the city informed the Ministry of Environment its Dallasarea lift station had backed up and sent sewage into a nearby creek leading to the river. But, Fretz added, the city didn’t realize it was supposed to alert the Interior Health Authority, the Tk’emlups Indian Band and others, and only learned this spring the province had never done so. Rob Fleming, environmental health officer with the IHA, said the health authority typically works with the water provider, in this case the City of Kamloops, on a public messaging around the risk to human health.

How and why the leak happened: Turn to page A6 “In this instance, Interior Health would have indicated there was a low risk to human health due to the quick dilution and the robustness of the Kamloops Water Treatment Plant,” he said. “Although Interior Health was not informed at the time of the incident, we do not feel that human health was impacted as a result of these actions.”
Asked why the city did not release the information on its own, Fretz was at a loss for an answer. “I don’t really know how to answer that question. If it was a public emergency, it’s something that we would have announced at the time,” she said. Milobar said that if boaters or others using the river during that time frame are concerned
about the sewage, they should consider what else is in the water. “If you think that the South Thompson River untreated is pure water, you should be questioning that every day of the year because there’s feedlots near it, there’s runoff, there’s lots of things,” he said. “I think we have to keep this in perspective of the actual volume compared to the volume of the river.” Other councillors contacted by KTW said they are comfortable
with how the incident was handled. “I don’t think there was any real threat that they perceived that would have required them to notify the public,” Coun. Denis Walsh said, adding he’s satisfied the incident won’t happen again. “It was definitely a serious and unfortunate event, but as soon as they became aware of it, they dealt with it properly.” Coun. Donovan Cavers said he wasn’t pleased to learn about
the release of sewage into the waterway, but believes the incident is minor compared to another that occurred in the city in 2011. In that event, a sewer line in Mission Flats failed, forcing the city to pump waste into a Domtar retention pond after a waste backup shut down the nearby lift station. “This is bad, but it’s not as bad as the olden days. So, that’s how I slept last night,” Cavers said. Asked whether he felt there should have been more public notice, Cavers, too, was lukewarm on the idea. “I don’t know about initially,” he said. “You might have had people going out with shovels and trying to help, but the city crews were doing the best they could.”

‘I’M NOT A PERVERT’
Retired teacher Jerry Waselenkoff is charged with possession of child pornography. He has admitted to watching adult porn on his computer, but denies discs with child-porn images found beneath his heat register belong to him.
TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
KTW FILE PHOTO
A retired Kamloops teacher accused of stashing child pornography beneath a vent in his Sahali condo took time during his cross-examination yesterday to tell courtroom reporters all men watch porn. Jerry Waselenkoff is standing trial in B.C. Supreme Court on a single count of possession of child pornography. Court has heard the 66-year-old’s downstairs neighbour uncovered binders of CDs containing child pornography in his ceiling while performing minor renovations in 2012. The discs were found directly beneath a vent in Waselenkoff’s home. Franz van der Woning said he found the discs in his ceiling while Waselenkoff was not home. Later, he testified, he heard rustling in the ceiling where the discs had been found. Shortly after, court heard, Waselenkoff told van der Woning he wanted to speak with him. In his evidence, Waselenkoff said he rustled around in the ceiling after van der Woning told him child porn had been found. An RCMP investigator testified she viewed images from the discs and saw unclothed girls between eight and 15 years old, with a focus on vaginal areas. The discs were made by a company called SmartBuy. Other SmartBuy discs were found in Waselenkoff’s condo. During his cross-examination yesterday, Waselenkoff admitted to watching adult pornographic videos online on a regular basis, but turned to reporters in the courtroom to offer a caveat. A 2012 study by researchers at the University of Montreal, he said, had endeavoured to compare men who watch porn with men who don’t. Waselenkoff said it had to be halted because researchers couldn’t find any of the latter. “They couldn’t find one man who did not watch pornography,” he said. “I’m not a pervert.” Waselenkoff did admit to accidentally stumbling upon child pornography on a few occasions. “It’s happened once or twice where I’ve seen a trolling page,” he said. “You click something and it takes you where you didn’t want to go.” Some of the search terms uncovered by police on Waselenkoff’s computer included “lolita,” “12 yo” and “defloweration.”
“They come up all the time,” he said. “You often see, ‘Lolita, lolita, lolita’.” During his cross-examination, a fidgety Waselenkoff seemed to intimate van der Woning had planted the discs in the ceiling. But, when asked directly by Crown prosecutor Frank Caputo whether that was his theory, he backed off. “I don’t think he did it,” Waselenkoff said. “I don’t know who did. I doubt he did. “I don’t know what happened — I really don’t. All I know is there are certain things that, logically, I can’t make sense of.” Caputo pressed Waselenkoff again, asking if he thought van der Woning was involved. “Probably not,” Waselenkoff replied. “Maybe I leave one per cent there, but definitely not saying, ‘Well, he’s the one.’” Waselenkoff described van der Woning as “a buffoon” and became visibly angry when describing his tenuous relationship with his downstairs neighbour. Waselenkoff also testified about Russian female curling teams — one senior team and one junior team — that would stay with him in his condo for extended periods while they trained in Kamloops. During his testimony, Waselenkoff referred to the curlers as “the girls.” He said the Russians had the run of his home — including full access to his computer.

“It was like home to them,” he said. “Some of them even said, ‘We spend more time here than we do with our parents.’” Waselenkoff testified he “never” used the CD drive on his computer. However, a police investigator previously testified she found an image of Waselenkoff among other photos on a SmartBuy disc found in his home. Another investigator said the name of a file on one of the child-pornography discs was similar to the name of a file that had recently been played on Waselenkoff’s computer. “I have no explanation,” Waselenkoff said. “If somebody had access to my computer, how many discs could they write? I don’t know. I have no idea. “If there was somebody there who was interested in this kind of stuff. They could have stored them there for some other time. “There were times when people I didn’t know [Russian curlers and coaches] were in my home for extended periods and I was out of town. What were they doing there? I don’t even know.” Waselenkoff was fidgety throughout his testimony, often tapping the witness box and licking his teeth between swigs of water from a plastic bottle. The trial is expected to end with closing arguments this week.

The Kamloops Chamber of Commerce opened the nomination period for the 2015 Business Excellence Awards yesterday with the announcement of a new award category — employer of the year. “We’ve been noticing some employers and how they go above and beyond,” executive director Deb McClelland said. “We’d like them to be recognized.”
The awards, now in their 29th year, had a record 468 nominations in 2014 and 440 attendees at the sold-out fall gala. McClelland said the Chamber hopes to keep up the momentum this year and see even more nominations come in. “We learn so much about Kamloops businesses through this process,” she said, adding there are many businesses in town that fly under the radar. “We’d like them to be nominated, too.” Berwick on the Park

Police investigation launched MOUNTIES PROBING CLAIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT OF SENIOR BY SENIOR TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
Police have now launched a criminal investigation into the alleged sexual assault of a disabled senior in a Kamloops nursing home — a case that has already prompted a lawsuit against the facility, an employee and another resident. Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said investigators are looking into the claims, which allege the incident took place last month at Kamloops Seniors Village in Aberdeen.
According to a notice of claim filed in B.C. Supreme Court last week, a carehome employee arranged a meeting between the alleged assailant and the 75-year-old alleged victim on April 13, leaving the two men alone. The document claims the alleged assailant assaulted the alleged victim by touching his penis and scratching and bruising his thighs. It also alleges Kamloops Seniors Village staff conspired to keep the incident under wraps, even holding a meeting among employees to make sure everyone was on the same page. The notice of claim states the alleged
victim now suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, fatigue, sleeplessness, incidents of unstable angina and aggravation of his existing heart condition. The alleged victim is seeking unspecified damages, health-care costs, moving costs and a restraining order, among other judgments. In addition to Kamloops Seniors Village, the alleged assailant and a John Doe care-home employee are listed as defendants on the notice of claim. None of the allegations have been proven in court and the police investigation is ongoing.
Nicola Valley has electoral Hope CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Nicola Valley residents overwhelmingly called for the community of Hope to join their provincial electoral district during a public meeting yesterday. B.C.’s electoral boundaries commission held its second meeting in Kamloops, this time to take submissions on its preliminary report produced last year after a first round of public consultations. The commission’s report recommends the province add two new electoral districts in the Lower Mainland, which would bring the number of MLAs in B.C. to 87. But, it sees little need for change in the Interior. The three-person panel headed by chairman Thomas Melnick,
a B.C. Supreme Court justice, recommended no change to the boundaries of Kamloops-North Thompson. In Kamloops-South Thompson, it wants to add the Knutsford area, taking it from the Fraser-Nicola riding to the south. The minor changes, largely amounting to the status quo, brought little or no public reaction. Those who attended the public hearing at Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre were largely Nicola Valley residents advocating for Hope to be brought back into the Fraser-Nicola, at one time known as YaleLillooet. “The old YaleLillooet riding was extremely good,” said Victor York, a former chief of the Lower Nicola Indian Band who now lives in

Spences Bridge, but works in the Nicola Valley. York said First Nations as far south as Spuzzum are in the same language group as his own Nlaka’pamux. “A lot of people don’t recognize that Hope and Yale — our dialect is almost the same,” he said. Allen Peters, a longtime hospital worker in the Nicola Valley, dismissed arguments from some in the Hope area that their linkages for shopping and health care are squarely in the Fraser Valley. For the past two elections, Hope has been placed in the Chilliwack-Hope riding of the Upper Fraser Valley. “Adding Hope and the Fraser Canyon back to Fraser-Nicola makes a lot of sense,” Peters said. “It was an integral
part of our constituency for as long as I recall.” Other residents mentioned common rural concerns. including school and hospital closures and job losses at sawmills. The commission also recommended Princeton be moved to Boundary-Similkameen to boost its population so it doesn’t fall below the threshold of being within 25 per cent of the average riding population. Several people, including former Ashcroft mayor Andy Anderson, said there are natural linkages between Princeton and towns including his own, Lillooet and Merritt. He dismissed Hope, saying he did not deal with the town in his decade as mayor. But, the majority of those who spoke
advocated for the commission’s preliminary recommendation that would see Hope placed back in Fraser-Nicola. Former area MLA Harry Lali, who attended the meeting but did not make a presentation, acknowledged some Hope residents want their town to be included with Chilliwack. While Hope has traditionally skewed toward the NDP, he said Princeton voted the other way — making the changes politically neutral, he argued. “One left-wing town goes in [Fraser-Nicola] and one goes out,” he told KTW. The commission will take submissions, including online at bcebc.ca, until May 26. Its final report will be presented to the legislature by late September.

stream feeding into the South Thompson River. Fretz said the system backup was caused when an employee mistakenly shut off the pipe leading to the O’Connor lift station instead of a sprinkler system. That mistake would have shown up on the computers the city uses to monitor its sewage system — computers that are supposed to be checked every 12 hours.
“There are computers attached to each of our stations and what that screen looks like is essentially a heartbeat,” she said. “So, if there are spikes up and down, that’s a good thing because that means pumps are turning on and off. If it flatlines, that’s not a good thing because it means pumps aren’t working.” Fretz said employee negligence is to blame
for the almost two weeks it took for the city to notice the problem with its equipment. Though she declined for legal reasons to say whether any employees involved were fired or suspended, Fretz said the city handed out “very serious” discipline. “We held people accountable for what their involvement was,” she said. “The person who
turned the valve mistakenly, it was a true error. It was not something that was done through negligence or complacency. And, at the end of the day, it was wrong to do it, but it wasn’t a huge, major error. “What was a huge, major error was this lack of following procedures and protocols.” Fretz said the city contacted the Ministry of Environment as
soon as the spill was discovered and began cleanup, which took a few days. But, she added, workers then put some of the contaminated cleanup materials down a city storm drain — which also flows into the river. The spill was not reported publicly at the time and Fretz said it wouldn’t have been noticeable to the untrained eye.

Norovirus is back in town — and has led to another restaurant having to do a complete clean of the building after 14 people came down with the virus after eating there.
The Interior Health Authority confirmed it received complaints on May 4 and lab tests confirmed presence of the virus, which can cause an upset stomach, vomiting or diarrhea. Other symptoms include nausea, cramping, chills and fever.
The illness begins suddenly and can remain for one to three days. Joyce Michaud, an IHA environmental health officer, did not identify the restaurant in an email to KTW, but noted health inspectors visited it after receiving the first complaints and the

home until the symptoms have subsided for a minimum of 48 hours.” Michaud stressed the need for ongoing hand-washing, not only for those with the virus, but for the general public. Her email said the IHA did not consider the incident to be an ongoing concern.
City selects Columbia tender ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops council has awarded the Columbia Street widening contract — and drivers can expect Fourth Avenue at Columbia Street to be closed for at least a month as the project begins. The contract was awarded on Tuesday to BA Dawson Blacktop Ltd. for $2.675 million. The company was the lowest compliant bidder of three tenders received by the city. The multi-month project was initially estimated at $3.9 million, but has since been revised to $4.8 million. Construction may begin as soon as Tuesday after the Victoria Day long weekend. The project will include the addition of left-turn lanes at Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth avenues and the closure of a left turn at Second Avenue. Utility relocations, signal and lighting improvements, pedestrian upgrades and centre medians and landscaping work is also involved. The project’s start will include the relocation of a major BC Hydro switch box, which will result in the closure of Fourth Avenue at Columbia Street for up to one month. The work will require trenching across Fourth Avenue at two locations — Fourth Avenue at Columbia Street and just south of the alleyway (between Columbia Street and Nicola Street) that crosses Fourth Avenue. The work will also entail trenching across Columbia Street. On Columbia Street, two lanes will be kept open — one in each direction. During the closure of Fourth Avenue, transit buses that access Columbia Street from Fourth Avenue will be rerouted. The city will use social media, road signage, radio and print ads, the city’s website and other means to inform the public of delays and lane closures.

School board approves $155-million budget DALE BASS
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
While KamloopsThompson board of education administrators had their work cut out to balance the budget, there were two areas of the document that have seen the dollars increasing every year. One is school-generated funds, a line item in
the budget that was $1.4 million in 2010 and has since increased to $2.07 million as of last year. The other is supply funds, which topped out last year at $1.96 million, up from $773,000 in 2010. School District 73 chief financial officer Kelvin Stretch explained the school-generated account is just that, money raised by schools
DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Although not all trustees are completely on board with the plan, Street School will be moved. The school, home to adult learners and located in the basement of St. George’s Anglican Church on Royal Avenue in North Kamloops, will take over space in Northills Shopping Centre previously used by the district’s @KOOL program. The move was recommended during a quality review study by the Ministry of Education into the district’s alternative and continuing education programs. A policy change by the ministry in December also influenced the decision, assistant superintendent Alison Sidow told trustees at their meeting on Monday. The decision will see funding from the provincial government cease for adults who have graduated from secondary school and are taking upgrading courses. Sidow’s report recommended the district implement a cost-recovery fee of $570.65 per course. She said the district will explore grants from agencies that might assist those adult students who can’t afford the fee. Sidow said among the issues with the church location is the lack of privacy, as classes are held in a large room in the basement Trustee Meghan Wade expressed concerns about relocating the school to the mall, noting there could be adult learners with peace bonds against partners. She said they may not feel comfortable having to go into a public building to attend classes. Trustee Kathleen Karpuk asked about marginalized adult learners who might draw the attention of security guards in the mall and not be allowed entry, while trustee Joe Small asked if movable partitions had been considered for the church-basement location to provide privacy when needed. Sidow told trustees partitions would not stop voices from carrying and, in terms of the mall location, Street School staff will deal with any issues that arise. She reminded trustees students taking the courses “want to be there. They are moving on with their lives.” Sidow told trustees a large number of students come from the Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre. “And they feel comfortable. The staff gives them hope. We need them to stay connected,” she said. About $25,000 worth of renovations will be required at the mall, she said, most to install a kitchen as the meals program is popular. Karpuk asked Sidow to ensure an evaluation is made after one or two years in the mall to ensure the location is still appropriate. The district will also look for stable funding to continue providing a literacy outreach worker for the alternative and continuing education programs. The position is partly funded by the United Way.
the end of 2016. The supply fund is money provided by the districts to schools for supply budgets — photocopying, learning resources, field trips and other items. Stretch said schools have discretion over the funds, but the actual cash in the bank is held by the board of education, which also processes any expenditures.
Stretch said allowing schools to have decision-making authority over the money means “decision-makers tend to make good decisions and they tend to manage their money wisely.” The information was part of the $155-million budget bylaw passed by trustees on Monday. The budget anticipates a net surplus of $917,154.

DON’T MAKE IT ANY HOTTER
T
he forest fire season has come early this year and for those heading into the woods this long weekend, caution must be exercised. The Kamloops Fire Centre has declared an open fire prohibition beginning tomorrow, the unofficial start to the summer season and the Victoria Day long weekend. Campfires are allowed, but they must be a reasonable size. Hot, dry weather has dominated the region for weeks and the forecast is for more of the same, so it only makes sense to exercise extreme caution in the woods this weekend, even though it’s only mid-May. The prohibition covers all B.C. Parks and Crown lands, but those camping and roasting marshmallows by the fire need to use common sense and practise fire safety procedures at all times. It is a weekend to be enjoyed and celebrated, but it must be done responsibly and within the rules that keep all of us, and our forests and wildlife, safe. The province takes its bans seriously — as anyone found in contravention of an open fire prohibition can be issued a $345 ticket or, if convicted in court, be fined up to $100,000 and sentenced to one year in jail. If the contravention contributes to a wildfire, the person can face a further $10,000 penalty and a bill for all firefighting and associated costs. We are coming off the warmest winter in almost seven decades. While the East Coast was still battling snow this week, B.C. is entrenched in summer mode, with the mercury forecast to hit 27 C tomorrow and 25 C on Saturday. There is a massive wildfire creating all sorts of problems south of Prince George. Remember that and act accordingly when taking advantage of great camping conditions this weekend.

A bridge-to-nowhere idea
I
t’s time for a reality check for a group of Kamloopsians who seem to think the $90 million the city doesn’t really have right now can be redirected to build another bridge across the South Thompson River. It won’t happen. The last estimated cost for a bridge joining the South Shore to the North Shore somewhere around Singh Street was in the quarter-billion-dollar range — and it isn’t the kind of project the province is likely interested in helping to fund. There are lots of reasons why no one in Victoria has an appetite for spending that much money on four lanes of asphalt above water. First, Premier Christy Clark’s government has shown it’s not going to be loosening the purse strings for the next few years. Witness Transportation Minister Todd Stone’s letter to communities, telling them bluntly there will be no more money for transit. School boards have been told operating funds are frozen for the next few years. Even spending a few million to upgrade the ancient equipment in Royal Inland Hospital’s laundry department isn’t on any governing politician’s radar. Mayor Peter Milobar adds another reason — the city’s own modelling shows no need for a fourth bridge over the river until the city’s population tops 120,000 people. That’s not going to happen
DALE BASS
Street
LEVEL any time soon. As KTW reported last week, a report by the B.C. Business Council shows population growth outside of the Lower Mainland will continue to drop. It’s already at less than one per cent a year, a rate that wouldn’t see the population in Kamloops hit the 120,000 threshold for more than four decades. Milobar added there’s a blurring of what city council controls and what the rest of us think it can do. He has heard people say the money — which, remember, we don’t have right now — should be used to build schools. That’s not a call the city can make. Milobar also rightly suggested the call for another bridge is a direct result of ongoing construction in the city — the traffic delays, the tie-ups and the accidents. There is work on Overlanders Bridge, construction about to begin on Columbia Street, the imminent month-long closure of
Fourth Avenue and roadwork on Twelfth Street. If it’s a major road, don’t be surprised if it’s being dug up this summer. It comes down to priorities, Milobar said: Does the city spend more or less on snow removal? If you live downtown, maybe not, but if you’re out in the boonies and convinced your street is the last one to see a plow in the winter, maybe yes. Milobar noted the $1.9 million needed to run a performing-arts centre each year could pay for a whole lot more snow removal. So, here’s a suggestion. Rather than wasting time pointing out ideas that don’t have a hope of happening in the next few years — or decades — let’s focus on the real issue. Does Kamloops want a performing-arts centre? There are pros and cons. Pros include economy booster, job creator, tourist attraction and community enhancement. Cons include the projected cost, the reality little ever gets built by a city council without costing more than originally estimated — and the big one. We don’t have $90 million sitting in the bank waiting to be spent. It’s debt and, before we assume it, we need to come together as a community and talk about realities and quit the baseless speculating. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
THREE CENTS ON SPENDING $90 MILLION Editor: OK, it’s my turn to give my three cents. First of all, I don’t know how a municipality like ours can always run in the red. Who pays for the loans and interest? Of course, we do — the taxpayers. What I would like to see is this city to run in the black each year and pay down loans and save money for maintaining infrastructure like Westsyde Pool, city roads, parks, sports venues, etc. With $90 million proposed for an arts centre, it seems our mayor and council wish to create a legacy for themselves at taxpayers’ expense. Only about eight per cent of the population will use it. I think there are other important things to consider in the future, such as a third bridge, roads and maintenance of our existing properties and buildings. Here’s an idea: City hall should move into the old Daily News building, a perfectly
good sound building. Business licensing, development approvals, engineering, human resources and other parts of city hall could also move in. I’ve noticed a pyramid building of each department over recent years — too many bosses and administrators and not enough real workers. Retirements and relocations over time can reduce these useless positions. Sell or rent the unused properties and give us taxpayers a break. By the way, councillors and mayor, why not allow more drive-thru permits? Lineups would be shorter and cause less idling. New cars run clean and, in our world, vehicles contribute to less than 17 per cent of our pollution. That’s a fact — smoke that in your pipe.
Spend money elsewhere Editor: Re: Linda Davidson’s letter of April 28: (‘Performing arts enrich lives in Kamloops’): I would love to live in Davidson’s dream world — it sounds so perfect. Whether people can or cannot afford to attend is not the issue. Davidson needs to look around her dream world and see city roads are in such disrepair it is costing residents in vehicle repairs and can cause accidents while drivers attempt to miss potholes and other surface damage. We do not need a performing-arts centre. We already have theatres for actors and performers. The money could be well-spent in road, water and sewage repairs and upgrades. This city is too big to still be driving on wagon roads.
Larry Wagner Kamloops
Vernette Moser Kamloops
TRASHING THOSE RESPONSIBLE AND NOT OUR CITY Editor: Re: (‘The North Shore’s Garbage Whisperer,’ May 12): Sounds like a new column: “Around town garbage talk.” I have walked many times from Sun Rivers to downtown. It’s so clean around the police and gas stations until you cross the highway at the intersection and walk alongside the
bird sanctuary. Looking around, there’s beautiful birds migrating and spring runoff filling the basin with water — but, it is full of garbage. I’ve seen cellphones, truck metal, lids and oil, antifreeze and other plastics. Plastic, plastic, plastic. Garbage is blown off or thrown out of passing vehicles.
It is disturbing. Who is responsible? This is what our bridge cameras can also be used for, charging people cleaning fees. Thoughtless people. Thank you for a platform to voice for those who cannot speak. No excuses.
Garbage is “blown off or thrown out of passing vehicles. It is disturbing. Who is responsible?

KAMLOOPS AID WORKER DESCRIBES ‘HORRIFIC’ SCENE
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
David Sakaki and his team were supposed to be on a mountain in Nepal on Tuesday, building a hospital shelter. Circumstances changed and the group was at the bottom of the mountain in a meeting with a Canadian Armed Forces disaster team when a second earthquake hit the Himalayan country. “Those mountains are astronomically high and they’re peppered with little villages,” the Kamloops firefighter told KTW by phone. “And we could just see those villages all

crumble and come down. “It was pretty horrific.” Sakaki flew to Nepal after it was hit by a 7.8magnitude earthquake on April 25, one that saw more than 8,000 people die. Tuesday’s earthquake, a 7.3-magnitude jolt, was felt in northern India, Tibet and Bangladesh. The death toll is changing constantly as
rescue workers move into the affected areas. Sakaki’s team, made up of people from across Canada with various skill sets, was originally tasked with focusing on clean water for the people of Nepal, but is now in the process of building 60 hospital shelters. “Our team is pretty fluid,” he said of the group sent there through GlobalMedic, part of the David
McAntony Gibson Foundation that works around the world providing relief and supplies. GlobalMedic responds with rescue, water purification and emergency medical units. GlobalFire does search and rescue operations and delivers basic firefighting and medical-care training programs, while GlobalWater works on providing householdlevel water purification in developing countries. Asked how Kamloopsians can best help the country, Sakaki said his bias is toward GlobalMedic because of the work it does and the reality
100 per cent of donations goes directly into the work the three parts of the foundation do. He said while people may want to send clothing or food, the best way to help is to send cash. “If you’re sending items, they will not get here,” Sakaki said, noting Nepal’s customs officers have created “a nightmare at the airport” at Kathmandu, refusing to release supplies being sent for the earthquake survivors. The United Nations has criticized the government for not facilitating release of supplies. GlobalMedic has
two people doing nothing but trying to deal with customs issues, Sakaki said, “when they could be out here on the ground. “Money is the only thing to do right now,” he said. “Give money and we can buy tarps cheap here, something that we need to do because the monsoon season is coming in a couple of weeks, too.” It’s not just Mother Nature creating tension in the country. After the first earthquake, the influx of military personnel to help with the rescue upset neighbouring China, Sakaki said. “It looked like things were going sideways, but it’s all better now. And it’s good to see so many nations here.”
Sakaki said he is supposed to return to Kamloops in a week but, with the most recent earthquake, he’s not sure of his timeline. He was in the city for only one day after a three-week trip to help people in Nicaragua before heading to Nepal. Sakaki praised his bosses at Kamloops Fire Rescue for supporting him in his humanitarian ventures, joking he needs to come back just to show his face at the station house so they remember who he is. Those wanting to support Sakaki and GlobalMedic can donate online at globalmedic.ca.

Mark and Margaret Hyslop know what to expect when they land in Nepal this weekend. In 2010, the Hyslops were in Haiti with Canadian Medical Assistance Teams (CMAT), providing disaster relief for victims of the earthquake that killed more than 200,000 people. Now, the Kamloops couple is heading to Nepal, helping CMAT provide primary care in the wake of devastation levelled by a series of earthquakes in the South Asian country. “In these kinds of countries, when there’s a disaster like this, it’s not like Canada, where we would get everything cleaned up and we’d be back on our feet in six months. “It takes a whole generation for them to recover from these things,” Mark, a retired emergency room doctor, told KTW. He is the leader of the CMAT team and will act as a liaison between villagers, leaders, traditional healers and other nongovernmental organizations in the area, like the World Health
Organization. “You look what’s happening in Haiti. They’re still digging out from that thing — it’s five years now,” he said. “They had so little and Nepal had so little in terms of their infrastructure and healthcare systems and now they have nothing. “So, they’re going to be building up again from nothing.” The couple will depart for Nepal tomorrow, landing in Kathmandu before making the trek to the town of Baluwa, southwest of the epicentre of Tuesday morning’s 7.3-magnitude quake. They’ll be roughing it on a school soccer pitch in the Nepalese community for at least two weeks, sleeping in tents, using pit toilets. The town has been hard hit. The village area is almost completely flattened, Mark said. The school is gone, while the medial centre and most of houses have been reduced to rubble. When they spoke with KTW, Margaret said she and Mark were “madly gardening and keeping calm” in preparation for the trip, on high alert as
news continued to trickle in about the destruction in South Asia. It may be the last few days of calm the couple will have in some time. They’re scheduled to return on June 2, but will stay in Nepal longer if they are needed. “From the moment that we arrive, Mark said that I’ll probably be the busiest,” said Margaret, who is a family counsellor. Her experience in Haiti and Africa — the couple spent a year working in Sierra Lione — has Margaret prepared to see a lot of locals dealing with post-traumatic stress and anxiety, maybe some suicidal ideation. And that’s just the locals. She knows she’ll be helping other aid workers deal with some of the trauma they’ll see. Of course, the Hyslops have their anxieties as well. Tuesday’s earthquake, a little more than two weeks after the original quake of April 25, added to the country’s death toll and levelled another blow to the infrastructure of Nepal. The couple knows CMAT is keeping tabs
on the situation and will ensure their safety, but their experience in Haiti has them prepared for the realities of the trip. “You can expect the unexpected, No. 1,” Mark said. With monsoon season quickly approaching, he said the team may soon be dealing with destruction levied by landslides, too. “No. 2, you have to be flexible and be able to change your process or the way you do things on fairly short notice,” he said. The Hyslops will foot the bill for their trip, totalling about $5,000. But, the money isn’t important. Being able to provide a little bit of help and relief to the people of Nepal is. Margaret hopes other Canadians will follow suit. “What I look forward to is a new lifelearning experience to pass on to other people,” she said. “I encourage them [Canadians] to go beyond the minor little problems in this country to help others.” Donations for the couple, or for CMAT in general, can be made online at canadianmedicalteams.org.

E
very kid and kid at heart loves to ride a train, but not everyone gets to ride an authentic steam-powered train along the only preserved section of the historic Kettle Valley Railway. If you want to give your kids a summer to remember, take them out to Summerland for a ride into Okanagan’s rich history. Hop aboard a restored 1912 Steam Locomotive — the 3716 — and take a 90-minute round-trip journey in a vintage passenger coach or open-air car through lush vineyards and over the Trout Creek Bridge. In the 1890s, the CPR extended its lines to the South Okanagan from Sicamous through to Okanagan Lake. From that point, CPR sternwheeler ships travelled south to Penticton, carrying people and freight and making frequent stops along the way. It was a long trip to the Coast or to points east for people living in the South Okanagan, creating a demand for a Coast-to-Kootenay connection. Built between 1910 and 1915, the KVR Kootenay to Coast Connection — the Canadian Pacific Railway’s new line in the Southern Interior — powered the Okanagan’s pioneer fruit industry into world markets, transported families on vacations and created employment. The railway, which was built to prevent Americans from exploiting British Columbia’s mineral wealth, closed its passenger line in 1964 as highways and airlines took over. The challenges of Mother Nature, such as major snow in
DID YOU KNOW?
One of the many KVR engineering achievements designed by Andrew McCulloch was the Trout Creek Trestle Bridge in Summerland, which stretched 619 feet across and 238 feet above the canyon floor. It was and remains known as the “infinitesimal” bridge — “incalculable, inestimable, great and fathomless.” It was the highest structure of its kind on the KVR and the third-largest of its kind in North America at the time it was built. The bridge was upgraded in 1927 and 1928 by filling in the trestle approaches and replacing trestle work with steel girders. For a unique experience, book yourself onto the Great Train Robbery Ride and Barbecue. Experience the Old West with the notorious Garnett Valley Gang as they rob passengers for local charities. This event sells out fast, so be sure to check the website for dates and times and book tickets early.

D
on’t be alarmed at the unusual number of people plummeting earthward from the sky above Fulton Field this weekend. For the 48th consecutive year, the Kamloops Skydivers Sport Parachute Club is hosting MayMeet, which will draw thrillseekers from B.C., Alberta, Washington state and Oregon. “It’s a great chance for people to come watch and see what it’s all about,” said Dean Schryver, a manager with the local skydiving club. “It’s a pretty fun atmosphere. “It’s our release from the Monday to Friday thing.” Two planes — one from Washington and another from Vernon — will fly into Kamloops to accommodate about 120 skydivers, who are expected to account for more than 1,000 jumps over the Victoria Day long weekend at the club, located at 2967 Airport Rd. The action gets underway at 2 p.m. tomorrow
and runs during daylight hours until Monday at about 3 p.m. If local residents are interested in knocking off a bucket-list item, this might be the weekend to take a leap of faith — from more than 10,000 feet. There will be tandem instructors on hand to free-fall for about one mile with anyone willing to meet the challenge. “This is a great weekend for them to come out,” Schryver said. “They’ll be coming up to enjoy the beauty of Kamloops and our nice weather.” Tandem jumps cost $300. Book in advance online at skydivekamloops.com for a 10 per cent discount. For more information, call the club at 250-3761213. The MayMeet marks the beginning of a new season for skydivers across the Pacific Northwest and B.C. and provides an opportunity for the local non-profit club to pad its piggy bank. “It helps sustain us for the whole year,” Schryver said. “You create awareness for the club and it’s a chance to see some old friends and meet new ones.”

More changes to Canada West ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Canada West Universities Athletic Association has settled on a new basketball format. But, as one Thompson Rivers University coach asked, how long will this one last? “It’s just another format,” WolfPack women’s basketball coach Scott Reeves said. “We’ve had seven formats in 10 years, so I don’t know what to tell you. We haven’t done it before. I don’t know if it will work, not work, I have no idea.” The association voted in the new format at its annual general meeting in Brandon, Man., last week, electing to move to a single, 17-team conference, in place of its current two-division format. The new arrangement will begin in the 2016-2017 athletic season. Each team will play what Canada West calls four geographical or historical
opponents annually. Clubs will also play games against six of the remaining 12 opponents every other year. The season will still number 20 games. “The majority of members wanted a different format, so we spent six months going through a lot of options for schedules,” Canada West president Ian Reade said in a release outlining the changes. “This allows us to guarantee that traditional and geographic opponents will have the opportunity to play each other annually, while eliminating the perception of having two tiers within the conference.” The WolfPack’s annual opponents will be the UBCOkanagan Heat of Kelowna, the University of the Fraser Valley Cascades of Abbotsford, the UNBC Timberwolves of Prince George and the University of Victoria Vikes. Over a four-year cycle, teams will play every club in the conference twice, at least
once in every gym in Canada West. But Reeves isn’t convinced the new format will even make it to the end of those four years. “Twice in 10 years we’ve seen the same schedule back to back. Twice. In 10 years. So, do you really think we’re going to get to the end of a fouryear cycle? History doesn’t say we will,” Reeves said with a laugh. He noted it seems Canada West has just grown too quickly, without an eye to how new teams would best be incorporated. The single-conference format was one of three options presented to the association’s athletic directors at the AGM. The other options included a three-division arrangement and continuing with the current arrangement. WolfPack athletic director Ken Olynyk wasn’t present at the meeting, but had his representative vote in favour of the single-conference option.
“To me, a schedule is a schedule, you play,” Olynyk said. “I asked Jon [Shephard, athletics and recreation assistant facility co-ordinator] to vote in favour of the one division because I felt that change was imminent and it was required. So we weren’t opposed to the one division, but we weren’t opposed to what we had.” In theory, Olynyk said, the new arrangement shouldn’t greatly impact the WolfPack’s travel arrangements or costs. The post-season will also undergo changes with the new scheduling system. The top four teams will receive automatic byes to the second round, while teams five through 12 will play in bestof-three first-round series. The second round will again be made up of best-ofthree series, with the winning teams advancing to a singleelimination, final four tournament, hosted by the highestranked seed.

Price takes blame as Habs bounced by Bolts STEPHEN WHYNO
THE CANADIAN PRESS
TAMPA — Carey Price won the Montreal Canadiens a division title and got them to the second round of the playoffs. Ultimately, he couldn’t save them from elimination. Minutes after the Canadiens’ season ended Tuesday night with a Game 6 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning, Price took responsibility for the playoff exit. “I didn’t play well enough for us to win the series,” Price said. “I think that’s basically more or less what it comes down to. We lost a lot of tight games. I just needed to make that one more save in all the games that we lost and I didn’t do that.” Price’s numbers, a 2.53 goals-against average and .896 save percentage, were below the amazingly high bar set from an MVP regular season. But, that doesn’t
tell the whole story of the series against the Lightning. The Habs scored just 13 goals, six of them coming in a Game 4 rout when on the brink of elimination. They had two or fewer in the other five games. Montreal carried the play and outshot Tampa Bay in a reversal of its season-long trend, but didn’t capitalize and again put the pressure on Price to be almost perfect. The likely Hart and Vezina trophies winner was disappointed he couldn’t be, but defenceman P.K. Subban wasn’t accepting Price taking the blame. “I don’t care what Carey says, we need to be better around him and support him more,” Subban said. “I think too many times this year he’s bailed us out and that’s got to change moving forward if we want to be a successful team in the regular season and the postseason.”
With his pointed comments Tuesday night, Subban got to the root of Montreal’s biggest problem: relying too much on Price. The 27-year-old led the NHL with a 1.96 GAA and .933 save percentage and his brilliance masked the Habs’ deficiencies. They were one of only two teams to make the playoffs after being outshot, on average, over the course of 82 games and they were 20th in goals per game. But, with Price leading the way, the Habs allowed the fewest in the league. Price was brilliant in the first round against the Ottawa Senators, particularly in a 43-save shutout to close out the series. He gave up an overtime goal in Game 1 and one in the final seconds of regulation of Game 3 against the Lightning, which was enough to make the difference in the series, but not enough to convince teammates it was Price’s fault.
“I do not agree,” forward Pierre-Alexandre Parenteau said in French. “It’s pretty hard as statement. Carey was our best player all year and most valuable player this season. To me, he was very good in the playoffs.” But Price wasn’t good enough and neither were the Habs. Coach Michel Therrien called them a “team in transition” that took big steps, but the ending came one round earlier than last year, when Price was injured. Subban said he wants players to be hard on themselves and “take ownership” for the season ending. Between himself, Price, Max Pacioretty, Andrei Markov and Tomas Plekanec, Subban noted there was plenty of responsibility to go around. Price taking all of it, Subban said, is unfair. “I don’t think there’s anyone in this room that can say they were at their best,” Subban said.

Federal omnibus budget bill rewrites history BRUCE CHEADLE
THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — The Harper government moved to retroactively rewrite Canada’s access to information law in order to prevent possible criminal charges against the RCMP, The Canadian Press has learned. An unheralded change buried in last week’s 167-page omnibus budget bill exempted all records from the defunct
long-gun registry and any “request, complaint, investigation, application, judicial review, appeal or other proceeding under the Access to Information Act or the Privacy Act,’ related to those old records. The unprecedented, retroactive changes — access to information experts liken them to erasing the national memory — are even more odd because they are backdated to the day the Conservatives introduced legislation to kill the gun registry, not to when the bill received royal assent.
The date effectively alters history to make an old government bill come into force months before it was actually passed by Parliament. A source familiar with the complaint, speaking on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the issue, said the government moved out of concern Information Commissioner Suzanne Legault is poised to recommend charges against the Mounties for withholding — and later destroying — gun-registry documents while the legisla-
tion was still being debated. The government feels no one should face a penalty for being overly eager to enforce the will of Parliament before the legislation had been voted into law. A spokesman for Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney would only say the retroactive law will fix a “bureaucratic loophole’’ that allowed citizens to request heavily redacted copies of the gun registry data while the legislation to destroy the data was before Parliament.
Mental health an issue in trial THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — A judge has agreed to order a mental-health assessment for one of two men found guilty of terrorism charges in a case involving a plot to derail a passenger train. A lawyer appointed by the court to assist the self-represented Chiheb Esseghaier had asked for the assessment, saying the Tunisian national’s mental health is “a real issue’’ in the case. Justice Michael Code said he is ordering the assessment because, while he doesn’t think strong religious beliefs are equated with mental disorder, he doesn’t know if there’s anything about Esseghaier’s personality that might make him more susceptible to religious fervour. Esseghaier, who refused to participate in his trial because he wanted to be judged under the rules of the Qur’an, told the court he doesn’t mind talking to doctors because he’s always eager to share his religious values. “This doesn’t mean that I approve that I have mental problems,’’ he said in court. “It’s my duty to invite people to God . . . that’s why I accept to meet with whoever person.’’ Esseghaier said he was created by God to warn mankind about “hellfire’’ if they didn’t follow the messages of the Qur’an. “God, out of mercy for humankind, he renew his warning through my case out of his own mercy,’’ Esseghaier said. “That’s why he created me.’’ Crown prosecutors argued Esseghaier has extreme religious beliefs, but said a mental-health assessment wasn’t necessary for the sentencing phase of the trial. Esseghaier and his co-accused, Raed Jaser, were found guilty in March of a terror-related conspiracy to commit murder, which carries a sentence of up to life in prison. The jury also found the men guilty of six other terror-related charges between them.

WINNIPEG — Manitoba RCMP said yesterday they had not ruled out homicide in the death of an 11-year-old girl whose disappearance wasn’t
reported to police until almost a week after people in the community believed she was last seen. Residents believe Teresa Robinson was likely mauled by an animal, perhaps a bear, on her way home from a birthday party

out,’’ he told reporters. Investigators, including a forensics team, were brought to the fly-in community 500 kilometres northeast of Winnipeg. An autopsy was being conducted which could shed light on how the girl died, Kolody added. David Harper, grand chief of the Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak, which represents First Nation communities in the province’s north, said Robinson was last seen leaving a birthday party at around 9 p.m. on May 5. At first, family members thought she may have slept over at a friend’s place. It appears a few days passed before officials were alerted. The girl’s father
phoned around and the reserve’s school launched a ground search, Harper said. “When he phoned [the school] on Friday and said, ‘Can you send my daughter home?’, that’s where . . . ground searches were done,’’ Harper said. RCMP said they were not notified until the following Monday. Kolody would not comment on whether the passage of time has made the investigation more difficult. RCMP are still establishing a firm timeline of events, he said. Kolody was tightlipped about what RCMP might have learned so far. “We appreciate that everyone wants to know what happened to this little girl — and so do we,” he said.

Y Obituaries & In Memoriam Z ROBERT “BOB” JOSEPH DALEY
SHIRLEE JEAN HARTNELL
July 1, 1932 - May 7, 2015
May 22, 1937 – February 24, 2015
It is with great sadness that the family of Robert “Bob” Daley announce his passing at Royal Inland Hospital, May 7, 2015. Bob passed away peacefully with his family by his side after a long term illness. Bob was born in Noranda, Quebec on July 1, 1932 to parents Walter and Catherine. Bob was a devoted family man who built a career around mining, from Wells, to Pioneer, Stewart, Brittania Beach, Carolin Mine are just a few places of employment, before finally finishing off his career and his last 23 years of work at Teck-Highland Valley Copper in Logan Lake. The family has many great memories of camping all over BC at many different locations with Bob playing his guitar and singing songs. His renditions of the “The Auctioneers Song” and “My Delilah” were family favorites. Bob had a knack for story telling, and drawing on his many years in the mining industry, he would keep us entertained with many a tale at family dinners. He was also an avid fisherman and could often be found down at the lake setting up his ice fishing tent or out on his boat with a line in the water.

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the passing of Marilyn Jean Smith (nee Shaw) at the age of 74, after a courageous two year battle with cancer. She passed peacefully, surrounded by her loving family. Marilyn leaves behind Barry, her loving husband of 52 years, children Tyler (Laurie) of Langley, Leanne (Craig) of Surrey and Clayton of Kamloops. Marilyn was also blessed with her wonderful granddaughter, Jeanie, who was the light of her life. She will also be sorely missed by her beloved dog Abby. Marilyn was predeceased by her parents Arthur and Isabelle Shaw. Marilyn was born and raised in Vancouver, moving to Kamloops with Barry in 1966; she worked as an operator for BC Tel prior to starting her family. She loved gardening, and took great pride in making her yard into a place of peaceful enjoyment. Marilyn also loved RVing and wintering in Southern California, where she made several great friends over the years. The family would like to acknowledge the great work of Deb and the other nurses at the Cancer Clinic, the physicians and staff at Royal Inland Hospital, and nurse Judy Vicic, who showed what a good neighbour is all about. All of these professionals provided great comfort and a positive atmosphere for Marilyn, and their efforts were greatly appreciated. Marilyn was much loved, and she will be greatly missed by those who had the privilege of knowing her. She was truly one of a kind. At Marilyn’s request, there will be no formal service; a family gathering was held to celebrate Marilyn’s life. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society.

GLENN DAVID MATHESON
August 2nd, 1938 – May 9th, 2015
July 5, 1933 – April 19, 2015 Author, architect, draughtsman, developer, carver, carpenter, brick and stone mason, rancher, horseman, trapper, marksman, musician, community builder, volunteer, telegrapher, forest industry executive, polio survivor, wood worker, furniture maker, plumber, entrepreneur, artist, guide outfitter, researcher, negotiator, sports enthusiast, Canucks fan. Glenn was born in Vancouver and raised on the Circle M Ranch just outside Jasper National Park in Alberta. He navigated mountain trails on horseback, urban freeways through rush hour, and difficult contract negotiations through countless summers. He loved watching hockey and football, especially when his sons were playing. On his 21st birthday he was working as a telegrapher in Riley, Alberta, when he fell ill with the first signs of polio. By the time he arrived by ambulance at the University of Alberta Hospital in Edmonton he was paralyzed, unable to speak and determined to survive. He was able to blink, so he communicated by blinking morse code. After eight months of epic struggle he beat the virus and walked out of the hospital once again in control of his own life. He married Norma Catherine Blair on April 24, 1957. It was a chilly spring day in Edmonton but the smiles in their old black-and-white wedding photos foreshadowed the warmth they would experience during their long, whole-hearted relationship. Four children followed over the next 14 years, a daughter, (Catherine) and three sons (Murray, Owen and Ian); a career was built through numerous moves as a Human Resources executive in the pulp & paper industry (Hinton, Castlegar, Prince Rupert, Prince Albert, Cranbrook, Kamloops, Vancouver); and lifelong friendships were forged along the way. Glenn always had a project (or several) on the go, and it usually involved concrete, wood, stucco, nails and plans, and often in that order. He renovated rooms; built houses and carports and stone walls; and he patented a wood-inlay process using a laser engraver. He and Norma watched their family grow. Daughters-in-law are Wendy (Murray) and Susan (Ian). They have eight grandchildren and a grandson-in-law: Glenn, Riley, Blair (Michael), Dylan, Grayden, Wyatt, Keegan and Parker; and a great-granddaughter, Emma. Their nieces and nephews are Beverly (Bob) and great-niece Jennifer, Bernard, Jack, Jacqueline (Al) and great-neice Reanna and great-nephew Myles They lost dear family members through the years: Glenn’s father and mother Charlie and Mona, his aunt Agnes (Mark), Norma’s mother Ruby, brother Don (Marjorie) and sister Elva (Dietmar). At the age of 75 when post-polio symptoms limited his ability to work in a shop and he needed to stay close to home to care for Norma, he began to research and write fiction. He published two books (The AmeriCanadian and The Naples Prediction). When Norma had to leave their home in 2013, stricken with Alzheimers, he was devastated. At 81, he was, he believed, at the top of his game. He told friends and family he was standing on the ball of his feet with his face pointed into the wind, and he felt ready for the next chapter of his life. It was not to be. In late February 2015 he was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumor and told he had little time left. Our father, grandfather, uncle, cousin, husband, great-grandfather, friend had one thought when he learned it was time to leave this life. The motto he always lived by became his anchor in his last days. “Keep moving forward, and never look back.” In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Central Hospice House, 35 Ethel St, Kelowna, BC V1Y 2Z5.

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

erri Runnalls remembers when afternoons at Pavilion Theatre weren’t filled with the sounds of young children learning about acting. Sure, the Lorne Street building resonated with those laughs and oohs and aahs during the summer as Western Canada Theatre held its annual Stage One camps. But, during the school year — not so much. All that changed a few years ago as the theatre ramped up an after-school program and created the position of education co-ordinator. Now, children as young as four and as old as 16 are heading to the black-box theatre to learn about being on stage, behind the scenes, engaging in some choreographed fights and belting out songs. And, just as the summer program’s performance camp wraps up with a production — albeit going from script to stage in just two weeks — the after-school classes are preparing to present plays they’ve been working on since about mid-January — two fairytale-based mashups, The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon and Cinderella: The Untold Story. They open tonight and continue tomorrow at 7 p.m., with a 2 p.m. matinee on Saturday. Renee Bussey and Jordyn Hall rehearse before The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon and Cinderella: The Untold Story, which open tonight.

Students stage fight scenes From page B1
The Grimm play presents bits of 209 fairytales in about an hour, Runnalls said, with a cast of 19 leading the humour. The Cinderella tale is a funny take on how the story should have played out, she said, with another 15 young actors presenting this new version. There’s some music in them and, for the first time, students have learned how to stage some fight scenes, courtesy of Melissa Thomas. She works with the program, has a degree in theatredirecting and recently completed a program on choreography fights. “It’s so cool to add on that type of instructor in our arsenal,” Runnalls said. Also helping with the program are Allison Clow and Kora

Range Rover Sport offers top-shelf comfort IAN HARWOOD
DRIVEWAY CANADA
T
he 2015 Range Rover Sport offers reliability and good looks along with exceptional comfort.
In the cab
The vehicle is all comfort. Rear seats have plenty of room for adults and the cargo area was adequate. The heated leatherwrapped steering wheel featured con-
trols one needs to drive without distraction. The front and rear seats are heated. Power tilt/slide front sunroof and a large glass roof over the rear seats allow natural light. It is top-shelf quality and the only problem I had was with the touchscreen. There is a significant delay when selecting a feature and the placement of buttons on the centre stack is positioned so you can accidentally press a button as you rest your arm on the console.
From the driver’s perspective, the sight lines are amazing and the blind spot was almost non-existent
to help reduce head injury and rollover ejection for front and rear passengers. Inflatable knee bolsters helps protect against leg injury from the steering column.
Safety-first
Range Rover has a long history of making safe vehicles and the Sport model is no exception. Driver- and passenger-side front airbags are designed to provide head and chest protection and the front-seat-side airbags protect against side impacts. There is also a fulllength curtain airbag
ride comfortable.
Power
The engine is a 340 horsepower, supercharged three-litre V6 that puts out 332 lb-ft of torque 2,500 RPM with an eight-speed automatic transmission. This transmission features Command Shift that actively responds to your driving habits and road conditions by reconfiguring the shift patterns for optimum drivability in all situations and is mated with a two-speed electroni-
Roadworthy
Driving the Range Rover Sport is smooth and the Supercharged V6 engine packs a punch. The impressive powerplant and eightspeed transmission makes for a flawless transition from slow to fast all the while keeping the
and chassis system to the terrain you’re driving on. It also maintains comfort and maximizes traction. Terrain response works continuously, but the driver can change the setting depending on conditions, for example: mud and ruts, snow or sand. Hill descent automatically controls and restricts the speed downhill, using antilock brake system and improves driver control on slippery descents.
cally controlled transfer case. Four-wheel electronic traction control, hill descent control and four-corner air suspension with terrain response not only makes this vehicle manoeuvre well on the road but can take you on some of the roughest backroads B.C. has to offer. The terrain response system gives Range Rover outstanding off-road capabilities and adapts the response of the vehicle’s engine, transmission, centre coupling

Don’t battle the bridge — shop local
STEVEN PUHALLO
North Shore
NEWS
We’ve put the first couple of weeks of the Overlanders Bridge repairs behind us; and it’s been great to see people on the North Shore choosing to shop, stay and play locally. For our businesses, it will mark the beginning of the end of a long, costly period of disruptions that started with a transport’s load striking the north end overpass four years ago. By you choosing to shop local on the North Shore during this time, you are keeping our businesses viable and healthy. The hardest part of Overlanders Bridge construction is underway. The shutdown of the north side overpass for the next three weeks has really affected some of our businesses in the south end of the Tranquille Market corridor. We encourage you to try out A Cut Above beauty salon; have a sandwich, coffee or ice cream at Reubin’s Diner; check out the great lunch buffet at Dynasty Garden; or have some great Italian food at Sorriso. We’re pretty blessed with the incredible variety or restaurants we have on the North Shore. They represent the rich cultural and eth-
nic heritage that built Brocklehurst and North Kamloops. We have three different sushi houses (Arigato, San Maru, Nara) eight Chinese-food restaurants (Bamboo Inn, Barbeque Kitchen, Dynasty Garden, Lotus Inn, Lee’s Garden, Moon Wok, Oriental Express, Twin Phoenix) and Indian food at Spice of India, Taiwanese at Sunmei Cuisine, Thai food at Salajai and Xuan’s great servings of pho at the Donut King. If you have global tastes, the North Shore has you covered. The Crazy and the German will leave you gleefully full with their authentic bratwurst sammel; you can get your island groove on at Jam Can Café with its Jamaican pulled specialties. Then there are the pizza places. I love pizza and we have some of the best in town on this side of the bridge. You can also grab some more traditional Canadian fare at our family restaurants and pubs. This summer don’t spend your beautiful Kamloops sunshine days battling the bridge. Check out your local restaurants and shop, stay and play on the North Shore. You can stay up to date on North Shore events and information through our website, nsbia.com, which also includes our community events calendar, find us on Facebook and sign up to our regular e-newsletter.
