HYDRANT FLOW AN ISSUE IN MOBILE HOME FIRE

FIRE CHIEF: THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH PRIVATELY OWNED HYDRANTS IN TRAILER PARK CAM FORTEMS AND TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTERS

editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

The father of a family of six said their rented mobile home might have been saved had fire hydrants in the park been operational. Darren Crabbe, whose family is homeless following Monday’s blaze, told KTW a Kamloops Fire Rescue engine could not hook up to a hydrant at Iron Mask Trailer Park in west Kamloops. He said he timed a KFR water truck’s arrival at 17 minutes behind the engine. Had hydrants been working, Crabbe believes the fire could have been contained and the family would not have lost everything. “It was just contained to the kitchen,” he said. “They would have been able to put it out.” Kamloops Fire Rescue Chief Dale McLean said the hydrants at the trailer park are privately owned — and that they’ve proven to be a problem for firefighters in the past. “We’ve always had an issue with the quality of the flow in those hydrants,” McLean said.

Darren Crabbe and his family are homeless after Monday’s fire damaged their rental mobile-home unit. A hydrant on the property (right) had flow problems and could not be used by Kamloops firefighters.

“There’s not much we can do about that. It’s the private infrastructure.” McLean said the hydrants are such a problem that the fire department automatically sends water trucks when calls come in from Iron Mask Trailer Park. “That’s what we’ve done and we did that in this case,” he said. Private hydrant systems are required to undergo annual servicing. Owners of private hydrant systems also must submit statistics to fire officials on an annual basis. Randy Carrell, who

owns Iron Mask Trailer Park, told KTW she has kept up her annual servicing obligation, but wouldn’t get into details about the hydrant in question. “Right now, this thing is under full investigation and they’re [KFR] putting together all the facts,” she said. “They’re conducting the investigation. They’re professional people and they’re investigating it properly.” Carrell, who owns the trailer in which the fire took place, said she has been fully co-operative with investigators. “I’m letting this inves-

tigation happen and I’ve given them statements,” she said. “I just want the investigation to take its course.” KFR inspector Arlene Ball confirmed that the blaze originated in the kitchen. “The fire happened on the stove,” she said. “The fire patterns all indicate that was indeed the cause of the fire.” Ball said the structure is a total loss, but added it’s too early to put a dollar figure on damage. Meanwhile, a box of donated clothes and toys from Dufferin elementary that came

through their hotel door Tuesday morning has helped improve the family’s mood. But, Crabbe acknowledged a lot of uncertainty ahead. “They just got a big bag of things,” he said from his unit at the Accent Inn, where the family has been put up by emergency social services for a few days. “They’re a lot happier than when they woke up.” The family is living off emergency assistance and donations following Monday’s fire. Crabbe said the blaze started when he

Amid the scrap and his attempted rescue of his cat, a container of oil intended for making French fries landed on the stove. “I’ve never seen anything like that,” he said of the rapid spread, which he initially tried to douse with baking soda and then — unwisely and in a moment of panic — water. “It crawled up the wall like it was owning the place.” His three children were at Dufferin elementary at the time of the fire,

He is on a disability pension awaiting surgery. The family was renting the home and its contents were not insured. He said he will have to turn to loans and family to help the family rebuild. “It’s going to be a long road ahead,” Crabbe said. An online campaign to raise money is at gofundme.com/wecanrebuild.

Pesticide debate will carry into July CAM FORTEMS

The topic has been debated fiercely for the past week and, because of a decision by Kamloops council on Tuesday, the argument will continue into July. Council chambers was packed with observers to hear Coun. Tina Lange’s notice of motion to make it illegal for homeowners or professional applicators to apply cosmetic pesticides to lawns, trees or flowers. The current bylaw permits application only by a certified applicator. Lange’s bylaw amendment would not affect pesticide use on fruit trees or vegetable gardens. However, council

agreed to table the motion until a July meeting at the earliest, at the suggestion of Coun. Arjun Singh, who in the past few days has been eliciting comments on the controversial subject on his Facebook page. Singh said his tabling motion will offer more chance for public debate on the issue. “When there’s controversy, hotness — everyone should have a chance to address council properly,” Singh told reporters after the meeting. As it was Tuesday, homeowners, citizens and those who work in the industry were forced to frame statements as awkward questions during a public-inquiry period. Mayor Peter Milobar gave little room for

rambling speeches and required questions of staff. Those ranged from whether pesticides were approved for Secwepemc territory to whether councillors and city staff have more scientific knowledge than Health Canada. Many in the room appeared to be opposed to Lange’s proposed bylaw. Grassroots Choice Lawn Care owner Jacquie Doherty, who has become the public voice against the proposed bylaw, urged council to hold a referendum this fall. Following the meeting, Doherty said she was puzzled by Singh’s move as the vote on Lange’s motion will be held mid-summer and doesn’t allow businesses to plan for possible change. “He suggested to me

“

”

we’d push it to October, when businesses aren’t in full swing,” Doherty said. Singh said his successful tabling motion will

give delegations — for and against — time to present to council. “There’s nine or 10 delegations available — there’s lots of spots,” he said. Coun. Donovan Cavers said Singh’s tabling motion will only delay what he predicts will be an eventual approval by council of Lange’s motion to ban cosmetic pesticides in Kamloops. One of the speakers, Madeline Jones, said allowing continued pesticide application by companies is tantamount to allowing smoking in council chambers. “I’m urging council to follow the lead of many European countries to ban these toxic chemicals,” Jones said.

From record rains to searing heat — within days CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

While the valley was drenched in record-setting rain that caused closure of fields yesterday, the seasonal power of the Interior sun is expected to arrive by the weekend. The City of Kamloops closed all city-owned and School District 73 fields in order to protect the turf from damage and prevent injury to players after heavy rainfall this week. Tuesday’s rainfall was measured at 17.7 millimetres, surpassing the previous June 2 record of 12.7 millimetres in 1955. “No. 1 is preventing injury,” said parks and civic facilities manager Jeff Putnam. “Particularly baseball, soccer and slo-pitch are too dangerous with sliding on turf. And infields are really muddy because it’s claybased.” Hard use in soggy fields also causes root damage. Environment Canada is forecasting showers today, followed by a hot spell beginning tomorrow, with temperatures expected to soar to a high of 35 C on Sunday and 36 C on Monday. The latter would be a record for June 8 if the mercury reaches the heights predicted.

“Now we’re coming into summer, the minute the sun comes out it has a lot of power,” said meteorologist Doug Lundquist. An intense high-pressure ridge is expected to park itself over the central Interior, a system Lundquist said will bring scorching heat to the valley. If the high temperatures come to pass — and break records for those days as expected — early June will be marked by extremes. The more than 17 millimetres of rainfall that fell on Tuesday was greater than in April (a dry month that tied for lowest on record) and May combined, which totalled 15.8 millimetres of precipitation. That rain continued heavy at times yesterday and was expected to begin easing with a chance of showers today. Putnam said staff will look at the fields again this morning and make a decision before noon whether to reopen. One complicating factor is high river and groundwater levels at McArthur Island that will impede drainage. Hillside Stadium’s artificial turf, which is hosting the B.C. Lions’ training camp, remains open. The Lions moved some of their morning routine inside TCC.

Record-breaking rainfall this week prompted the City of Kamloops to close sports fields until further notice. Shuttered fields include this soccer pitch on McArthur Island. With sunny and hot weather expected to return tomorrow and last into next week, expect sports to resume on the fields either later today or tomorrow. DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Crown wants Gaglardi’s fine doubled BLAZERS’ OWNER WAS CONVICTED ON ENVIRONMENTAL CHARGES TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Calling the original sentence “a pittance,” a Crown prosecutor asked a B.C. Supreme Court judge on Tuesday to more than double the fines handed to Tom Gaglardi and his company after both were convicted last year of environmental charges. Gaglardi, the owner of the Kamloops Blazers and the NHL’s Dallas Stars, was convicted last fall on two counts of harmful alteration of a fish habitat. His company, Northland Properties, was found guilty of identical counts, while his father, Robert Gaglardi, was acquitted. In December, Kamloops provincial court Judge Stephen Harrison ordered Gaglardi and Northland pay a total of $140,000 in fines and mandatory donations to the B.C. Conservation Foundation. The Crown appealed that sentence in February. During the trial last year, court heard the Gaglardi family home on Kamloops Lake in Savona — known as “Tom’s Shack,” accord-

ing to several Crown witnesses — was undergoing extensive renovations in 2010. The charges stem from riprap installed by workers taking orders from Gaglardi during construction of a boat ramp and shoreline trees he ordered removed from the property. “There was an element of wilfulness here — a desire to get the job done and seek forgiveness later,” Harrison said in handing down his sentence. Harrison also quoted an expert in salmon habitats who testified at trial that the work changed the shoreline on Gaglardi’s property “from a very good fish habitat to a moonscape.” During the trial, former Northland employee and star Crown witness Jim Parks said he was ordered to destroy documents and throw his computer hard drive “in the lake” when federal investigators began looking into alleged environmental improprieties at Tom’s Shack. Gaglardi wrote in his notebook throughout the trial, alternating between notes on the proceedings, Northland

business and what appeared to be line combinations for the Dallas Stars. He also had to be told repeatedly by sheriffs to turn off his iPhone, which, at one point, he concealed in a book. Court heard it will take more than 40 years to restore the salmon habitat that was destroyed by Gaglardi. In court, Gaglardi said he was sorry. “I wanted to express my apologies for what transpired,” he said. The maximum sentence for harmful alteration of a fish habitat today is $1 million. But, because Gaglardi’s renovations took place before sentences were increased, the most he can be fined is $300,000 per count. Crown prosecutor Digby Kier asked B.C. Supreme Court Justice Susan Griffin to order Gaglardi and Northland

pay a total of $300,000 in fines. “This was serious, serious, serious fish habitat that was utterly destroyed, that will take a long time to repair,” he said. “For a billion-dollar enterprise such as Northland Property company runs, the respondent Tom Gaglardi being its president, [the sentence] did not amount to anything more than a slap on the wrist. “This was a pittance

to the respondents in this case. A pittance — nothing to it for these billionaire enterprises.” Defence lawyer Rob Bruneau said the lowercourt sentence was in line with other similar offences. “The judge imposed fines which were entirely appropriate,” he said. At one point, Griffin interrupted Bruneau’s argument to ask him whether Gaglardi’s wealth should be a factor in her decision. “Isn’t there a moral difference between a man who steals a loaf of bread when he can afford the bread factory as opposed to someone who’s starving?” she asked. Bruneau agreed, but said it’s a different argument when the crime is an environmental one. No date has been set for Griffin’s decision. Gaglardi was not present for the appeal hearing.

Kamloops RCMP continues to receive calls from the public about a phone scam in which the caller claims to be from Revenue Canada. In the most recent incident, the caller tried to tell the victim they were in arrears with their taxes and owed $1,900. The recipient of this call knew

that they did not owe any taxes and did not arrange for a transaction with the caller. However, the person on the phone became quite persistent and hostile and called back a second time. The scammer also stated they needed to collect the tax payment in person, in cash, which

was a red flag that the call was not legitimate. Police were unable to trace the source of the call in this incident. Before conducting transactions, police are reminding the public to verify any calls in which they are asked to make payments.

Kamloops Mounties are reminding people using rivers in the area to be careful as water levels are rising with spring runoff. Police say boaters in the North and South Thompson rivers should be watching out for increased debris floating in

the river and be aware of lower bridge clearances. Boaters are advised to slow down and assess clearances before passing under any structures as water levels are changing daily. In addition, Mounties are reminding all people in boats

to wear life-jackets and for all boats to have the required safety equipment on board. “At this time of the year, when the water is still extremely cold, a life-jacket is the best defence for surviving cold-water shock and hypothermia,” RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said.

Feds to help fix pool?

KTW IS BLOOMING IN THE RAIN

KELLY HALL/KTW

City of Kamloops gardener Nichola Camphavg (left) shares ideas behind her plant choices for the Planter Competition with KTW photographer Dave Eagles on Tuesday. The annual Communities In Bloom competition pairs gardeners with politicians and sponsors to design and plant flower pots in the 100-block of Victoria Street, in the 400-block of Tranquille Road and at the Tourism Kamloops Visitors Centre across from Aberdeen Mall. Kamloops This Week is a sponsor of this year’s event.

The city hopes to fund some of the multimillion-dollar fix needed at Westsyde Pool with a federal grant. Kamloops council has approved an application to the Canada 150 fund, intended to mark the nation’s 150th year. Parks and civic facilities manager Jeff Putnam said the rebuild at Westsyde aligns with the dates and intention of the Canada 150 fund. A little more than $46 million is directed to Western Canada. Eligible fixes and expansions include to arenas, pools, gyms and walking trails. The cost of replacing the indoor pool’s roof is estimated at between $1.2 and $2.1 million. • Downtown residents will have their say at a public hearing before council decides whether to allow zoning changes in the 800- block of Battle Street for a 34-unit apartment building.

Cold-case manslaughter trial begins TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Blows to the head with a blunt object are what killed a 19-year-old woman found dead in an Okanagan ditch more than 20 years ago, a jury has been told. Neil Snelson’s re-trial for the cold-case slaying of Jennifer Cusworth began on Wednesday in a Kamloops courtroom. Cusworth’s body was found in a ditch on a Kelowna road on Oct. 17, 1993. “She was killed by several blows to the back of her head by a blunt object,” Crown prosecutor Dione Pizzey said in her opening to the seven-woman, five-man jury. “Before she died, she had been choked.” Pizzey told jurors semen was found in Cusworth’s pelvic area and tested for DNA. “The DNA profile from the semen matches the DNA of the accused, Neil Snelson,” Pizzey said. Court heard Cusworth and Snelson had been at the same house party the day before her body was found. Pizzey said a

pickup truck similar to Snelson’s was also seen by a witness near where Cusworth’s body was found. Snelson was questioned by police in 1993, but wasn’t charged until detectives revisited the investigation in 2009. RCMP Cpl. Karen Holmes, the first Crown witness, described to jurors the scene where Cusworth’s body was found. Holmes described the body as “a black mass” and said she could only tell it was a woman based on jewelry. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley made sure jurors knew Snelson had already stood trial for the offence. “This case has been tried before,” he said. “Do not speculate what happened at the end of that trial. What happened there has nothing to do with this trial — absolutely nothing.” The outcome of Snelson’s previous trial was appealed and he was ordered to again stand trial. The trial is expected to last four weeks.

This case has been “tried before.

Do not speculate what happened at the end of that trial. What happened there has absolutely nothing to do with this trial — absolutely nothing.

Tuesday to send the proposed zoning amendment to a public hearing at a yet-to-be determined date. Development services director Marvin Kwiatkowski said seven properties would be consolidated for the development, which would comply with the city’s official community plan.

The building would include 10 seniors’ units. The developer also wants to reduce the number of parking spaces to 30, rather than 33 required under the current formula. Coun. Marg Spina said there are questions among neighbourhood residents about a fourstorey building that may alter views.

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission has issued its final report on the legacy of the residential-school program in Canada — and the 381-page summary is powerful reading (see story, page A12). Justice Murray Sinclair, chairman of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, said residential-school survivors endured a “cultural genocide’’ that tore apart their families and left them to deal with a lifetime of horrors connected to the abuse — physical, emotional and sexual — they suffered. The scandal is well known and has been in the news for many years. In 2007, the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement was created. It included almost $2 billion for compensation payments to former students and established the Truth and Reconciliation Commission that spent six years crafting the report released this year. In 2008, Prime Minister Stephen Harper offered a historic formal apology in the House of Commons for the residential-school system. Sinclair’s report includes 94 recommendations, including the establishment of a national holiday of remembrance and that the horrors of the residential-school system be taught more intensively in schools. But, the greater question is one Gov.-Gen. David Johnston asked yesterday: “Where do we go from here?” In Kamloops, there is the matter of the day-scholars lawsuit with which to contend. The Tk’emlups and Sechelt Indian bands are seeking compensation for those who attended residential schools during the day, but went home at night. Across the nation, there are First Nations groups who argue the federal government has not done nearly enough to address the wrongs — formal apology and settlement agreement be damned. Where do we go from here? It is a difficult question to answer, but having everyday Canadians digest the report and talk to residentialschool survivors would be the first step to answering it.

Slow down — let them in

t would be so helpful if some Kamloops drivers could be magically swept away in their cars and plunked down at the corner of Yonge and Queen streets in downtown Toronto. They would then know what slow-moving traffic really looks like. Since the construction began on Overlanders Bridge, I’ve had to cross it several times each week. The first few weeks, there was little delay at all. When the bridge went down to the two lanes, as it is today as work continues, the longest trek was 15 minutes just after 5 p.m. on a Tuesday, travelling from the KTW office on Dalhousie Drive over to Mount Paul United Church. It took 15 minutes. One morning, I had to head from home on the far east side of the city to The Dunes in Westsyde. That was the longest commute — about 30 minutes — but it was lengthy because it was about 14 kilometres and I tend to stick to the speed limit. Coming back to the office wasn’t a time challenge: Down Westsyde Road to Eighth Street, down Tranquille Road, do the detour around to Fortune Drive, over the bridge, drop to 30 km/h and back to the office. Didn’t notice any traffic issue worth upping the blood pressure. Recently, I’ve been heading to and from work through the downtown to experience life on Columbia Street now that the city has started work on a few blocks there. It’s been about a minute a block to get past that construction

DALE BASS

Street

LEVEL site, which is nothing too onerous. One morning, leaving at about 8 a.m. for work, I came through the downtown again. With a stop at the school board office to drop off something, it still didn’t take much time because, seeing the lineup ahead and wanting to see how easy it was to avoid it, I dropped down from Columbia at Fifth Avenue, went down to Nicola Street and across to First Avenue. Still made it to work by 8:30 a.m. I have seen some truly crazy drivers during these jaunts out into the city, people who simply won’t follow the zipper-merge process the city has asked us all to use. It happens most often not at either of those two road sites, but most frequently going east on Notre Dave Drive, headed to Summit Road and onto the TransCanada Highway. Invariably, there will be people in the inside lane waiting for someone — anyone — to let them in. It leads to traffic backing up in that lane, likely frustration for the drivers using it who want to turn left at that intersection.

It’s strange the city hasn’t dealt with that corner, making both lanes right-turns, the inside lane also a left turn and then teaching us all that, if you want to go onto the highway, use that inside lane. If you want to head up into Sahali, stay in the outside lane. Makes sense to me, but, then, I’ve driven in Toronto traffic. Someone complained to me about all the road construction happening at the same time in the city. It’s not just the bridge and Columbia; there’s work being done on other streets, as well. There’s a simple and obvious reason for the timing — it’s hard to fix roads in the winter. One might say it’s pretty much impossible to do it any other time but during warm days. Progress on the bridge has been impressive. Each time I’ve crossed it, no matter what time of day, it’s been busy with workers making repairs. Despite Facebook complaints about rude flag people, all I’ve seen are friendly people doing their jobs to ensure we all get across the river safely. Some wave, some smile, some just hold the sign. For all who won’t leave a gap, who are hyperventilating as they cross town or who turn to Facebook to vent emotions, remember how many times you’ve almost been hit at Columbia and Second, or how many potholes you’ve bounced over, mentally admonishing city hall for its neglect. Slow down. Let someone in. Maybe, when you’re the one trying to do the zipper merge, someone will do the same for you. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

WEED-CHOKED CEMETERY GRASS IS ‘DISGUSTING’ Editor: I think Coun. Tina Lange should visit Hillside Cemetery in Sahali in the dandelion season of the year and maybe then she will change her mind on enacting a ban on cosmetic pesticides in Kamloops. We bury our loved ones there with a vision of a park-like resting place for them. Instead, it looks like a deserted field. The grass is dead in the older area, so I guess city doesn’t go for fertilizing or watering. So, the weeds have taken over. It is disgusting and upsetting for those left behind.

HOW ABOUT HOLDING A DANDELION FESTIVAL? Editor: Over the years, I have offered a suggestion to a number of people and organizations, but the idea has always been met with polite disinterest. Given the recent upsurge in the press devoted to pesticides and dandelions in Kamloops, perhaps the timing is more advantageous this week. Kamloops could host a dandelion festival. A committee could investigate all things dandelion — flower chains,

Bernice Williams Kamloops

photographs, books, wine and wine recipes, songs, salads, boiled greens, costumes, a parade, prizes to participants, etc. Of course, in order to be able to eat or drink the dandelions, there would need to be a ban on using pesticides on those flowers and the lawns they call home. I envision such an event during a farmers’ market day.

PROPONENTS NEED TO BUCK UP CITY SHOULD SIGN Editor: On the weekend, I watched the Children’s Miracle Weekend, which raised $18.8 million for BC Children’s Hospital. I will be voting “no” in the upcoming referendum regarding the borrowing of $49 million for the construction of a performing-arts centre because I believe the arts community should have to fundraise for the city’s portion and not go to public troughs. After all, we are forcing hospitals to fundraise for vital lifesaving equipment rather than properly funding

them with tax dollars. The priorities of government are completely screwed up when they force hospitals to use images of seriously ill children to raise money. The government intentionally underfunds hospitals knowing people will open their purse strings for the more noble cause. If the performing-arts centre is that great and necessary a project, proponents need to fundraise, just as children of this province must do. Ken White Kamloops

ON TO THIS IDEA

Editor: Traffic on Overlanders Bridge has been a hot topic of letters to the editor and articles in KTW. Drivers had to merge onto the bridge before the resurfacing work began. Most of the

time, drivers were courteous, allowing alternate merging of traffic from Tranquille Road. Perhaps the placement of signs during the construction process is confusing. Why not move the lighted information sign —

Christina Mader Kamloops indicating “Use Both Lanes” — up to the traffic light at the intersection of Fortune Drive and Leigh/Fort streets? Place one merge pictorial sign at the point where the city wants traffic to merge and add an “Alternate Merge, Please” sign. Ray Jones Kamloops

Government staffer suspended CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The B.C. Liberal government has suspended a Ministry of Transportation employee in the wake of an allegation by a former staff member to minister Todd Stone that emails were secretly deleted. NDP MLAs produced letters from the former assistant, who says a supervisor deleted emails from his computer to keep them from being considered for a freedom

of information (FOI) request regarding the Highway of Tears in Northern B.C. Former executive assistant Tim Duncan wrote to B.C. Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Dunham yesterday, saying his supervisor told him to delete a dozen of his emails in November 2014 after an FOI request came to the ministry. “When I hesitated, he took away my keyboard, deleted the emails and returned the keyboard stating, ‘It’s done.

don’t have to worry about it any more’,” Duncan wrote to the privacy commissioner. Stone said based on advice from the public service agency the employee has been suspended with pay until an investigation by the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner is complete. “Bottom line for me is this: I have always expected and continue to expect the staff in my office to follow the rules which are clearly detailed in the relevant legislation.” Stone said the government will await the investigation by the privacy commissioner. A history of missing and murdered women along the remote highway from Prince George to Prince Rupert led to a series of community meetings last year. Opposition critics have been demanding records from the meetings, and calling for additional bus service along the highway to keep vulnerable people from hitchhiking. Confronted with the letter in question period, Premier Christy Clark said records should not be deleted once an FOI request is made.

Citizens’ Services Minister Amrik Virk said not every email is considered a government record. Stone said he intends to have a “frank” discussion with his ministerial assistant George Gretes about the accusation that Gretes deleted the emails. In an email to NDP Leader John Horgan’s office, Duncan acknowledged he had no evidence of the incident or the content of the deleted messages. He said he blew the whistle on the Highway 16 incident because his own father was murdered in a domestic incident in 2010, and he believes the families of missing and murdered people “deserve better.” Duncan was appointed to his job in October 2014. He told the NDP he left “the cesspool that is the B.C. government in March” and reported to Denham that he believes abuse of the FOI process is “widespread and most likely systemic within the Clark government.”

WATERMELON FOR THE WIN BEER SPECS Parallel 49 Brewing Co. (Victoria) Seed Spitter Watermelon Wit, 5 per cent ABV, 6-packs

BATCH OF BANNOCK Kamloops This Week is amping up its inner foodie in 2015. The biweekly Cuisine page looks a bit different this year. Each month, we will highlight recipes as they correspond to various cultural holidays. Those recipes will come from foodies in the community — from restaurant chefs and owners to home cooks — along with a brief explanation of the dish and holiday. This series will be paired with KTW reporter Andrea Klassen’s beer column on the Cuisine page every second Thursday. Bon apetit! This month, KTW is featuring First Nations food in honour of National Aboriginal Day. The day, held on June 21, celebrates heritage, culture and achievements of

First Nations, Inuit and Métis people in Canada. KTW reached The Painted Pony Cafe, a downtown restaurant that serves food with an aboriginal flair, for this week’s feature and

it provided a recipe for bannock, a traditional fried bread. Cook up a batch of golden-brown bannock and serve it sweet or savoury — with jam, sugar or cheese.

BANNOCK

Courtesy of The Painted Pony Cafe 1 cup flour 1 tbsp. sugar 1 tsp. baking powder 1/4 tsp. salt 1/2 cup cold water oil for frying

Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Heat about one inch of oil in a frying pan or skillet. Divide dough into three to four pieces and pat each portion to just a little bigger than the size of your hand and place it into the oil. Fry a couple minutes or so on one side until golden brown. Use tongs to flip and fry on the other side. Use tongs and drain the bannock before placing it on kitchen towel. Serve with jam, sugar, cheese or whatever else is preferred.

was skeptical, I’ll admit it. A good beer that really tastes of watermelon didn’t seem possible. But, it is and Seed Spitter’s it. This stuff is really nice as Kamloops creeps into the 30s and I start spending my time in front of the fan whenever I’m in my apartment. The beer gets a bit of natural sweetness from the watermelon, but mostly captures the slight sharpness of the fruit as you take those last bites closer to the rind, as well as the juicy, refreshing quality of the melon. There’s a bit of wheat to finish it off, which plays nicely with what comes first, and then you’re done. Wham, bam, simple and super light and very summery.

RIDER I tend to hold off on buying six packs because a) who has time to dedicate to six of one beer when there’s so much craft out there? and b) a lot of crafts just get to be too much after a couple of bottles.

Report: Residential school system a ‘cultural genocide’ KRISTY KIRKUP

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — A long-awaited report on the horrors of Canada’s residential school system calls it nothing short of a “cultural genocide,” making 94 broad recommendations — everything from greater police independence and reducing the number of aboriginal children in foster care to restrictions on the use of conditional and mandatory minimum sentences. The summary of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) report, released Tuesday, is the culmination of six emotional years of extensive study into the church-run, governmentfunded institutions, which operated for more than 120 years. The exercise has been “a difficult, inspiring and very painful journey for all of us,”

said Justice Murray Sinclair, Canada’s first aboriginal justice and the commission’s chairman. “The residential school experience is clearly one of the darkest, most troubling chapters in our collective history,” Sinclair told a packed news conference Tuesday in Ottawa. “In the period from Confederation until the decision to close residential schools was taken in this country in 1969, Canada clearly participated in a period of cultural genocide.” The scope of the commission and its report is staggering. The full report, weighing in at six volumes and thousands of pages, will be released later this year. Sinclair described how the commission heard from residential school survivors who were robbed of the love of their families.

“They were stripped of their self-respect and they were stripped of their identity. Their stories — more than 6,750 of them in number — will now become part of a permanent historical archive never to be forgotten or ignored.” Alma Scott was one of thousands of survivors who recounted her experience to the commission. She described being taken to a school in Fort Alexander, Man., at the age of five. “We gotten taken away by a big truck. I can still remember my mom and dad looking at us,” Scott said in her testimony. “I just remember feeling really sad and I was in this truck full of other kids who were crying, and so I cried with them.” The commission also listened to the stories of those who worked at or

administered the residential schools. Many of those men and women are still haunted by what they witnessed and filled with regret at having been part of the system, Sinclair said. “We heard the pain of those charged with the care of those children. We heard of the demons that they face for not being able to care for them properly or to protect them from the abusers.” The TRC’s summary also makes clear that the expectations of the aboriginal community in the wake of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s historic apology for the residential-school tragedy in 2008 have not yet been met. “The promise of reconciliation, which seemed so imminent back in 2008 when the prime minister, on behalf of all Canadians, apologized to survivors has faded,” it says. “Without truth, justice

and healing, there can be no genuine reconciliation.” The TRC report calls on the federal government to launch a national inquiry into the number of missing and murdered aboriginal women. It also goes so far as to recommend additional CBC funding, a statutory holiday to honour survivors and an apology from the Pope on behalf of the Roman Catholic Church. More than 130 residential schools operated across Canada and the federal government has estimated at least 150,000 First Nation, Métis and Inuit students passed through the system. The last school, located outside of Regina, closed in 1996. A centre at the University of Manitoba will become the permanent home for all statements, documents and materials gathered by the commission. It is scheduled to open this summer.

Other key recommendations: • That federal, provincial, territorial and municipal governments fully adopt and implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as the “framework for reconciliation”; • That governments acknowledge the current state of aboriginal health in Canada is “a direct result of previous Canadian government policies including residential schools”; • That the federal government establish a statutory holiday to honour survivors, their families and communities; • That the federal government establish a written policy reaffirming independence of the RCMP to investigate crimes where government may be an interested party.

Canada ill-prepared for terrorist attack, per OPP report THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The October shootings in Ottawa are a “grim reminder that Canada is ill-prepared” to stop terrorist attacks, a

long-awaited Ontario Provincial Police report concludes. The report, one among several released yesterday, says the RCMP’s ability to protect Parliament Hill

There were missed opportunities to stop Michael Zehaf Bibeau from entering the Centre Block on Oct. 22, RCMP assistant commissioner Gilles Michaud told a news conference yesterday in Ottawa. Those missed opportunities were

a result of systemic problems, not human errors, Michaud said. “There is nobody from our perspective that is to blame for this.” The RCMP has not disciplined anyone for their actions that day, he added. The reports provide graphic details of Zehaf Bibeau’s shooting rampage on Oct. 22. Zehaf Bibeau first shot and killed

Bail too risky for Canadian diplomat’s teen son, Miami judge decides

Granting bail to a Canadian teenager charged in a double killing that left his brother dead is too risky given the possibility he could easily flee the United States, a Florida judge ruled yesterday. In opting to keep 15-yearold Marc Wabafiyebazu behind bars pending trial, Circuit Judge Teresa Pooler also said she couldn’t rely on his mother, Canada’s consul general in Miami, to keep proper tabs on him. “She was not aware of the amount of time they skipped school,” Pooler said. “She did not know where they obtained guns.” Roxanne Dube declined to comment after the decision to keep her son incarcerated. Pooler also said it would be near impossible to extradite the Ottawa teen, who is charged as an adult, should he flee to Canada before a trial that could put him behind bars for life.

The woman tried to get into the back seat of the cruiser, fearing for her life, and delayed the officer long enough that Zehaf Bibeau drove by in a commandeered vehicle. Michaud said the officer tried to radio others about the gunman’s presence, but her message was garbled and couldn’t be understood. The OPP report says Zehaf Bibeau was shot

For one thing, she said, Canada doesn’t recognize the felony murder charge he faces and might be reluctant to return him given the potential life sentence — which could not happen under the Canada’s young offender system. “It seems to me it is highly unlikely that the United States would ever be able to bring him back,” the judge said. Pooler said she found Officer Juan Velez, on whose evidence much of the case against Wabafiyebazu rests, to be credible. Velez has told the court he was driving the accused to a detention centre when the teen spontaneously blurted out a detailed confession. Wabafiyebazu was arrested March 30 outside an apartment in which his 18-year-old brother Jean Wabafiyebazu and another man, Joshua Wright, 17, were shot dead. Two other men, including an alleged drug dealer, were injured. – The Canadian Press

multiple times when he stormed the Centre Block, with the first bullets hitting him seven seconds after he burst through the front door. The documents say Zehaf Bibeau was felled by 31 bullets, two of which would have been fatal. The gunman wasn’t wearing body armour — the report says had he been more organized, the incident could have been a great deal worse.

MURDER CHARGE IN DEATH OF LANGLEY HOMELESS MAN LANGLEY — Police say a 21-year-old man has been charged with murder after a homeless man was found dying on a sidewalk in Langley. Mounties say they responded to reports of a fight just after 7 p.m. on Monday. When officers arrived at the scene, they found 37-year-old Wells Gallagher on the ground. He later died. Police say they arrested a suspect near the scene after a brief foot chase. Investigators say David Van Den Brink, who is known to police, has now been charged with second-degree murder. RCMP say Gallagher was wellknown in the Langley homeless community and multiple witnesses came forward to provide information to police. – The Canadian Press

EP, there was more stuff we had that didn’t fit the mould,” he said. The band is anticipating an Aug. 1 release of a longer CD. “I’m crazy proud of this,” Jules said. “You know, it’s strange that the [BOA] core, me, Yogo [Raweater’s stage name] and Shawna are still there. But, it’s different now. We’re not clingy. There always used to be a sense of urgency.” The band faced another challenge when Jules broke his back but he is now able to walk without canes and is feeling stronger every day.

“We have a new sense of purpose and are recording on an almost daily basis,” Jules said. Most of the work is done at his home, where he’s built an art- and vinyl-filled studio in his basement. He’s particularly proud of two music-related facts — the band is working with some of the best musicians in the city and they’re all also doing solo acts. “Sean Luciw produced our CD and Richard Graham’s been here playing drums with us,” Jules said. “We’re working with really great people.”

Raweater is creating a country CD and Seymour is performing a lot in Vancouver and working on her own project. “She’s come out of her cocoon and she’s so butterfly now,” Jules said. Raweater is also particularly excited about the show since tomorrow is her birthday. Also performing are Pistol Pete, Memo, DJ Weezl and Corrosive Dosage and Hazardous. Tickets are $10 at the door or $8 with a donation for the Kamloops Food Bank. The show is for those 19 and older.

Applaudissements over three little pigs DAVE EAGLES/KTW

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

agebrush Theatre was filled with beaucoup de rires and applaudissements yesterday as French-immersion students took part in the 17th annual Festival de théàtre. The rires (laughs) and applaudissements (applause) were for the primary-grade students from l’ecole Lloyd George and ecole South Sahali who were presenting the productions they’ve spent many weeks learning, rehearsing and perfecting. Lana Blais, the language co-ordinator for School District 73, said “a ton of work and time has gone into this,” everything from teachers digging out old props that can be reused to parents

In a joint presentation by Sa-Hali and Lloyd George elementary schools, Grade 2 students rehearse a scene from the play festival, Trois Petits Cochons (The Three Little Pigs). From left: Aria Chase, Feron Wallace Kate Reid and Grier Langevin play the Chorus.

designing costumes to others in the French community stepping up to ensure the festival would come off without a hitch. The event was free, open to the public and involved several presentations.

It began yesterday just after 9 a.m. and wrapped up by 2:30 p.m. — a school day spent showing mothers, fathers, grandsmères et grands-pères and anyone else interested in French education in the com-

munity just what they had learned. Blais, relatively new to the district, she was struck not only by the ease with which the students, all of them in grades 1 to 4, acted, but with the fact the festival has been held

for so long. The day before the formal presentation, students at l’ecole Lloyd George took their turns in the Pine Street school’s gym to have one more rehearsal. The room was

abuzz with energy, laughter, music, chatter — all the realities that exist when you put several dozen young learners together in an environment filled with fun. Attention was returned with the series of claps so familiar to many parents. It was eyes forward as their friends worked through their plays, many of them based on fairytales because, Blais said, they are stories that are short, entertaining and familiar to the youngsters. At the end of the performances at Sagebrush, in addition to the proud smiles and applause from family members, the students taking part all received a certificate and a small token of appreciation for the work they have done. The festival is a key component of French immersion in the district, Blais said, an

education stream that continues to grow. Blais and others are now addressing ways to ensure students who choose to study in the language will have success, recognizing it can be a challenge in some subjects to learn the basics in a second language. Blais said the goal is to come up with ways to help those students who may become frustrated and discouraged so they can continue in French immersion with supports to meet their academic challenges. For the dozens of young actors, however, their day on the stage at Sagebrush wasn’t filled with a single classroom hurdle. It was a day rempli de fierté et d’accomplissement — and their families, friends and teachers were there to share in those senses of pride and accomplishment.

an Bombardier was fortunate. She wasn’t married to the man when it happened, nor did they have children together. She didn’t own a house with him, either. So, when she had her brush with domestic violence — a former partner caused her to literally run for her life, she told KTW — she “just changed the locks on my doors and never let him in again. “I just think, people who are married with children — where do they go?” Bombardier said. The Kamloops realtor knows first-hand how domestic violence changes lives. “Everything we did, we did together,” she said. “I literally had to carve out a new life for myself.” It’s why she’s already nearly hit her $5,000 fundraising goal for a trip that will see Royal LePage employees from across the country hike Machu Picchu this summer while raising money for the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation, which supports women’s shelters and violence prevention programs. The overall goal of the group is to raise $350,000, with $275,949.05 raised so far by about 50 people who will make the trek in two groups. Bombardier is the lone Kamloops participant and, as of press time, she had raised $4,220, with another $1,000 expected on the way, she said.

Some of it will be used to help cover travel costs, but participants are expected to pay most of their own way. Bombardier has been a realtor in Kamloops since 2007 and wanted to join the eight-day trip — one that includes backpacking, tenting, no cell service or hot showers — because she not only loves to hike, but she wanted to contribute back to the Y Women’s Emergency Shelter, where her portion of the funds will be going. “They said they really need a new kitchen,” she said. “The kitchen they have there is really old.” When KTW reached Bombardier on the phone, she was hitting the stairmaster to sneak in training during a busy real estate season. She will hike more than 10,000 feet — but she’s not worried about fitness. “The altitude is usually what will get to you,” she said. To prevent sickness, there’s medication, flying into Peru early to adjust to it all and, most of all, “you take your time up there,” Bombardier said. With a couple of months to go before leaving in August, she’ll continue training and fundraising — and she’s not stopping at the $5,000 mark. “I want to raise as much as I can,” she said.

Kamloops Ladies of Lacrosse MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

t was a steamy night inside Memorial Arena, the type of evening lacrosse moms used to spend cheering in the stands, trying to beat the heat with a cool beverage. That changed in 2011, when the Kamloops Ladies of Lacrosse moved off the sidelines and onto the floor. “It was pretty much just a group of moms whose kids played lacrosse,” said a sweaty Jane Peterson, who spoke to KTW between shifts on Thursday night at the venerable Victoria Street barn. “We wanted to come out and try it. “You can come here — maybe your kids and your husband have pissed you off — and you just have a good time.” Peterson founded the club and, for the first two seasons, which run from March to July, there were between 20 and 25 women playing regularly. There are now 50 Ladies of Lacrosse swinging the sticks on Thursday nights at Memorial, including goaltender Lianne Milobar. “It’s just the fun part I like, about getting together with a group of ladies and competing,” said Milobar, wiping away perspiration from her cheeks, sporting the bulky equipment so unique to lacrosse netminders. “I’d say come and give it a try. We have a lot of new players coming out that have never done it before.” In fact, nearly every member was new to the game when they first joined the Ladies of Lacrosse, or LOL, as they often refer to themselves. Jim Boomer took on coaching responsibilities and can be heard shouting instructions from the bench each week. “It was like teaching kids again because they’re brand new to the game and their enthusiasm is contagious,” said Boomer, who makes a special effort to teach fundamentals to newcomers. “I got hooked and have stuck with them. “It’s been phenomenal. We have hus-

bands and sons come watch them and they make comments like, ‘Oh, my goodness, that is totally different than when you first started.’” Stag’s Head Liquor Store stepped forward to sponsor the LOL and provided two sets of jerseys, which the ladies wore to their first-ever tournament earlier this year in Port Moody. “You put your helmet on and you’re somebody else,” Peterson said. “We’ve had a few girls over time that say, ‘No, this isn’t for me,’ but, if you look out here, you’ll see every age, every ability, every size and every shape.” Word of mouth seems to bring in the

most new members, with 10 players signing on to play this year. Females 18 and older are welcome to give it a try, with Peterson looking to attract a few more younger girls, such as standout player Alyssa Reid, who used her pace to get behind defenders on multiple occasions last week. Carolynn Boomer, Jim’s wife, was among the combatants who took to the floor when KTW was watching from the stands. With her hair soaking from what she called the “Memorial Arena sauna,” Boomer participated in a post-game interview.

“Everybody looks forward to Thursday nights,” said Boomer, whose sons grew up playing minor and junior lacrosse in town. “There are athletes here and there are girls who have never played on sports teams,” she said. “The socialization . . . it’s about everybody getting a good workout in and a lot of us are still competitive.” When the final horn sounded, several women gathered for post-game “KoolAid” and others went straight home, spent from a night of running, passing, shooting, saving and scoring. They will have recovered by now, just in time to do it all again tonight. “The camaraderie that they have, the friendships that they have and the sportsmanship — it’s such an awesome group,” Jim Boomer said. “If you want to have a lot of fun and get in a really good workout, it’s a friendly atmosphere to learn and I’ll always spend time with the new players right off the bat.”

doing the sport that you love and you can’t do it because you’re not at the same level.” With both Gavin and Kristina plying their abilities on the trampoline comes a healthy sibling rivalry. They push one another to do better — no doubt part of the reason Kristina will be doing more than watching at the Canadian Championships this season. They help each other, too. While Gavin is the younger of the two, he is the more experienced trampolinist and can offer his older sister advice and feedback. Kristina does the same with the tumbling aspect of trampoline, more familiar with many of the skills from

ing to the Canadian Championships in Calgary in July, along with fellow trampolinist Emily Schmidt. For Kristina, who switched from artistic gymnastics to trampoline a few years ago, the progression has been impressive. Just last year, she was in the stands watching Gavin compete at nationals. This year, she’ll be a fellow competitor. “I always felt like I should be doing something,” Kristina said, recalling being in the stands in 2014. “It’s just kind of hard when you see everyone

From her perch in the glassed-in viewing area at the Tournament Capital Centre, Diane Dodd experiences the ups and downs of her children — quite literally. As 13-year-old Kristina Dodd and 11-year-old Gavin sail toward the rafters of the Kamloops Gymnastics and Trampoline Centre, pushing each other to new heights, Diane watches on. Sometimes, she can’t help but feel excited herself. “It’s pretty exciting having the two in trampoline,” Diane said. “It makes it nice having both of them in the same sport. “Some days, you think you’re only going to sit there for half an hour and then, all of a sudden, two-and-a-half hours later, you’re still sitting there watching.” The Dodds are among the KGTC’s best. Last month at the provincial championships, Gavin finished second in the allaround at the national level, while Kristina finished third. Both will be head-

her time in artistic gymnastics’ floor exercise. There are, of course, times when the kids bicker like siblings, Diane said, or when disappointment reigns for one child in the face of the accomplishment of another. But, for the most part, they’re good to each other. Asked if he ever worries about doing better than his sister, Gavin instead said he’s happy to see Kristina doing well and reaching new heights. “She always supports me, so I always support her,” he said. Both Gavin and Kristina are at the gym four days a week, putting in 14-and-a-half hours of training time. Considering the rest of the time they spend together as a part of family life, it would be understandable if the Dodds needed a little space from one another. But, from her perch in the glassed-in viewing area, Diane said she has instead watched her kids become closer, a sentiment echoed by Kristina. “I don’t really get sick of seeing him,” she said of Gavin. “I like laughing with him and everything. He’s quite fun to be with.”

KING JAMES ON TOP OF GAME TOM WITHERS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLEVELAND — LeBron James listened to a question he’s been asked in the past and began processing. On the eve of his fifth consecutive NBA Final, the four-time league MVP who has carried the Cavaliers within four wins of a championship in his homecoming season, James appears to be

playing the best ball of his life. Others have said so, some insisting they’ve never seen anyone — at least no one this side of Michael Jordan — perform at such a high level. James has been magnificent in these playoffs. Clutch. Focused. Confident. But, does the 30-yearold believe he’s at the pinnacle of his 12-year career? “I think if you put it

all together, yeah,’’ he said. “If you put everything together as far as my mind, my body, my game. If you put everything in one bottle, this is probably the best I’ve been.’’ King James has spoken. Although he has jumped higher, scored more, shot for a higher percentage and had bigger statistical games in nine previous postseasons, James has

taken his game to new boundaries, the outer limits as he prepares to take on the Golden State Warriors. Game 1 gets underway tonight at 6 p.m. in Oakland. “Even in the past, mentally I just wasn’t who I am today,’’ he said. “My mind, my hard drive, wasn’t as big. I’m able to handle a lot of situations that I wasn’t able to handle at 24 and 25 years old.”

NEW YORK — Promptly at 8:45 a.m., American Pharoah got his first view of Belmont Park, the huge 1.5-mile oval on which he will attempt to give horse racing its first Triple Crown winner in 37 years on Saturday. The cameras clicked as the Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner stepped onto the track. “He’s marching. Look at him marching right out there,’’ trainer Bob Baffert said on a cool Wednesday morning, “And look at his nice coat.’’ With exercise rider Jorge Alvarez aboard, American Pharoah jogged counterclockwise around the track before being walked off and taken back to his stable for a public sponge bath just outside his barn. “He was pretty strong and we let him jog all the way around,’’ said Baffert, adding he had planned on a shorter jog but called an audible when he saw how good his horse looked on the track. “It was better that way. Otherwise he would have wanted to gallop. He would have been too tough down the stretch. He

looked happy out there. That’s the key, to keep him happy. “When he’s marching along like that, that’s a good sign.’’ American Pharoah, a winner of his last six races, arrived at Belmont on Tuesday after a flight from Louisville. He won the Derby on May 2 and the Preakness two weeks later and will be running in his fifth race since March 15. Baffert said the three-year-old colt has maintained his weight, still has a hearty appetite and “the way he feels and the way he’s trained, everything has gone really smooth. I like what I see.’’ At yesterday’s post-position draw, American Pharoah was made the 3-5 favourite when a field of eight was entered. American Pharoah, with Victor Espinoza riding, will leave from the No. 5 gate. Baffert will take a shot at a Triple Crown for the fourth time. He finished second twice in the Belmont, with Silver Charm in 1997 and Real Quiet in 1998 and eighth with War Emblem in 2002. Affirmed was the last Triple Crown winner in 1978.

“

Sex sells” has long been a popular tenet in advertising. And, sex appeal has typically made it easier to sell cars. The movie industry has always favoured convertibles for leading men and women, be they Carey Grant, Sophia Loren, Grace Kelly, Kevin Costner or Susan Sarandon. Virtually any car becomes sexy when you chop the top, but I did

say “virtually”. These five cars resist the glamour and glitz that often come with convertibles.

then, is its collectability and desirability now, which is nil.

1985 to 1987 AMC Alliance Convertible

The formula for the Yugo was simple — and it was laughable. Buy a 20-year-old-design of a highly rust-prone Italian economy car, barely update it and ship it to America by the thousands. At first, people will buy a product that is vastly cheaper than the competition but, once the public finds out it is slow, unattractive, outdated, uncomfortable and minimally reliable, the charm

Built in the United States using a 1.7-litre engine and transmission from Renault, the Alliance was very much French in feeling. It was small, mundane in appearance and less than competitive against the best from Volkswagen, Toyota and Honda. A good measure of its appeal,

leaves in a hurry. Did a convertible version help the image and dramatically boost the sales? Again, the answer is “not really” — a response that was reinforced by a price that was double the cost of the GV Plus hatchback, which had gained fuel injection and six horsepower.

It was a good car without flash or panache, which had limited appeal to car-mad teens. There’s no question that lowering the top on the Lark made for a pleasant experience, but it didn’t change the status of this car from dud to stud when it came to sex appeal.

1960-1963 Studebaker Lark VI Convertible

Solid, sensible and reliable all summed up Studebaker’s Lark.

JAMES (JIM) EDWARD FRID It is with great sadness that we announce the passing, of our beloved husband, father, fatherin-law, ‘Boppa,’ brother, brotherin-law, and friend James (Jim) Edward Frid on May 9, 2015. Jim was born on September 11, 1944, in Vancouver and spent long periods of his life in Golden and Kamloops, British Columbia. Jim worked as a professional driver. In his early years, he drove logging and fuel trucks; more recently, he drove school buses. He took great pride in doing every job he ever had to the best of his ability and was always devoted to his travellers. Although Jim had many passions, he particularly enjoyed gardening, golfing, playing guitar, singing and following hockey. He cherished spending time with and caring for his furry loved ones, especially Elvis of late. He treasured the memories from his many trips to Mexico. Jim lived with joy and loved his family. His sense of humour, quick wit, resiliency and optimism in the face of hardship and ability to make friends with all types of people will forever be an inspiration. Jim is survived by many family members and friends – you all know who you are. We sincerely appreciate the support and care that has been extended by so many over the years, especially during this difficult time. At Jim’s request, there will be no memorial service. Instead, Jim would be delighted if you take pause, give thanks for what you have, and bring a smile and some laughter to someone’s life. In lieu of flowers, donations in Jim’s memory may be made to the Cancer Society, Kamloops branch.

LORNA MAY BARNHARDT (NEE AUSTIN) May 2, 1920 - May 8, 2015 Lorna, the longest-glowing light of our lives, died at the Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops on May 8th. She was ninetyfive. The daughter of North Shuswap pioneers, Bert and Lulu Austin, in 1920, Lulu travelled from their homestead by carriage, boat, and train to the Salmon Arm Hospital to give birth to Lorna. Lorna attended the one-room schoolhouse at Magna Bay until she was a teenager when she boarded in Kamloops, she was trained as a secretary at St. Ann’s Academy. These skills led to jobs in Kamloops, Vancouver, and Ottawa, yet even as she stretched her wings her heart remained at Magna Bay. In 1946 Lorna met and married the love of her life, Alan Bertrand Barnhardt, a paratrooper returning from war. They had three children a son and twin daughters, after living in Vancouver for a couple of years they settled on a corner of family property at Magna Bay. The tragic death of Alan eight years after they were married propelled Lorna back into the workforce and the family moved to the Agricultural Research Station near Kamloops. Lorna served as the secretary for the research scientists. Twelve years later, with the kids grown and gone, she fulfilled her dream of returning to Magna Bay. There she gained employment as a secretary for Anglemont Estates where she worked until retirement. She also became active in the Historical Society and contributed stories to the Shuswap Chronicles. Lorna, a life-long nature lover joined the Naturalists and also became a member of St. David’s Church where she volunteered in the downstairs Thrift Shop. At home she loved to garden, cook, knit, read, and play the piano. Lorna spent her last seven years in Chase, first in a cozy house, followed by her final seven months in assisted living in Parkside, where she continued to light up people’s lives. The family extends a big bouquet of THANK YOU’S to the whole Parkside staff for their wonderful care. Beautiful both inside and out, Lorna was known for her kindness, her humour, her humility, and her generosity. Family meant everything to her. She will be missed so much by her brother Don (Ruth), her son Tom (Carol), daughters Donna (Rick) and Deanna (Eric), plus grandchildren Dorian, Tennessee, Isaac, Annonay, Galen, Natalia and Kyle; and great-grandchildren Wyatt, Rylen, Kale, Kyran, and Rhys, not to mention a myriad of extended family and friends. A Celebration of Life for Lorna will be held at the North Shuswap Community Hall on the Squilax-Anglemont Road in Celista on September 5th from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm. Mom, wherever you are, we all hope it’s an easy stroll for the bucket of water you always loved to fetch from Shuswap Lake.

She enjoyed travelling with family, taking delight in seeing forest animals and sharing those occasions with her grandchildren. In her later years Ruth enjoyed simple pleasures; reading her bible, walking in the park, watching young children play, visiting with her daughter or her grandchildren, attending the theatre, taking a car ride to someplace new or chatting with friends.

REMEMBER Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land; When you can go no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay. Remember me when no more day by day You tell me of our future that you planned: Only remember me; you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray. Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterwards remember, do not grieve: For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once I had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad. Christina Rossetti
