CORONER’S INQUEST INTO DEATH OF JACOB SETAH

TODAY’S FLYERS

In June 2014, 18-year-old Jacob Setah (right) jumped to his death from the top level of the parkade at Royal Inland Hospital (above). His death was the subject this week of a coroner’s inquest in Kamloops.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

The father of a Williams Lake-area teen who jumped to his death from a three-storey parking garage outside Royal Inland Hospital two years ago after being Tasered by police brought jurors to tears yesterday while describing his son at a coroner’s inquest.

Jacob Setah died on June 15, 2014.

The 18-year-old was being held involuntary at RIH’s psychiatric ward, One South, after being committed under the Mental Health Act less than a week earlier in Williams Lake.

Jurors have heard Jacob escaped One South by smashing through a window. He fled to the top of the parkade on the south side of the hospital and was standing on top of a vehicle, near the ledge, when police arrived.

After 40 minutes of failed negotiations, RCMP Const. Nathan Poyzer deployed a Taser on Jacob, but the weapon had no effect. Jurors have been told Jacob then vaulted over the ledge and to his death.

Gary Setah, Jacob’s father, took long pauses and deep breaths while describing his son.

“He was a bright kid — a smart kid,” he said. “He used to like the outdoors. I used to bring him out a lot. He used to fish and hunt. He was a smart kid.”

The elder Setah was emotional.

Three of the five jurors cried during his testimony.

“He liked to make people laugh, wasn’t ashamed to be laughed at,” he said.

“He had a lot of friends, was liked by many and will be missed.”

Gary said he has been frustrated with the lack of information he has received about his son’s death.

“Me, myself, I wasn’t told anything,” he said, noting the details described at the coroner’s jury have been new to him.

“Just rumours, media, what I heard on television. I did not know what really happened until this inquiry. I still don’t really know. I would prefer to see security cameras, body language of my son.”

Jacob split time between his father’s house on Yunesit’in First Nation land and his mother’s home in Williams Lake.

Psychiatrists have testified Jacob was in acute psychosis at the time of his committal in June 2014 and was experiencing suicidal and homicidal thoughts.

He was transferred to RIH because there is no secure psychiatric facility in Williams Lake.

Yunesit’in Chief Russell MyersRoss has attended each day of the inquest, which began Monday. He said one of the band’s concerns is a lack of options for mental-health treatment closer to home.

“In all the communities through our nation, there are a lot of mentalhealth issues,” he told KTW. “The way we were set up, we were not — GARY SETAH, able to Jacob’s father intervene the way we would have wanted to.”

A Williams Lake psychiatric nurse testified the hospital in the Cariboo town is in the process of renovations that will allow for the observation of high-risk mental-health patients.

The inquest ended yesterday afternoon, with the jury expected to return in the late afternoon, after KTW’s press deadline, with recommendations.

For updates and to read previous stories from the inquest, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com.

Coroner’s inquests are proceedings at which a five-person jury is shown evidence about an unnatural death and asked to make recommendations aimed at preventing similar cases in the future.

I did not “know what really happened until this inquiry.

I still don’t really know.

Deaths prompt health-emergency declaration NUMBER OF FATAL OVERDOSES RESULTS IN UNPRECEDENTED WARNING DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

An unprecedented provincial health emergency has been declared to deal with the increasing number of illicit drug-related deaths and overdoses.

Sparking it is the possibility B.C. could see as many as 800 such deaths this year, almost double the 2015 total, said provincial health officer Dr. Perry Kendall.

“We’ve never done this before in B.C.,” Kendall said of the action taken under the Public Health Act. “And, as far as I’m aware, it’s never been done before in any other province.”

The action will allow medical-health officers throughout the province to collect more robust, real-time information on overdoses in order to identify immediately where risks are arising and take proactive action to warn and protect people

who use drugs.

In Kamloops, there have been 11 illicit drug-related deaths to the end of March, five linked to the opioid fentanyl. In 2015, there were 18 by the end of the year, with only three involving fentanyl.

Provincially, there had been 201 deaths to the end of March, with 64 linked to fentanyl.

Kendall said the numbers continue to rise despite “heroic efforts” by health-care workers, social agencies and others who work in the field.

In 2010, there were 211 illicit drug-related deaths. The next year, it climbed to 292, but dropped in 2012 to 274.

In 2013, the number hit 330, rising to 360 in 2014 and 474 last year, Kendall said.

Given the trend so far in 2016, he said it would not be a surprise to see at least 700 and perhaps as many as 800 deaths by the end

of the year.

Comparable fentanyl-related deaths provincially have risen from five per cent of those reported in 2012 to 31 per cent last year, a number that could spike as not all investigations into deaths have been completed.

Health Minister Terry Lake, who attended the press conference with Kendall, called each death a tragedy.

“These are our sons, our daughters, our mothers, our fathers, our friends,” he said.

While the ministry has seen increasing success from expansions made to harm reduction, Lake said the “huge surge” in overdoses and deaths is concerning, noting the decision was made to increase the amount of real-time information on each situation.

Lake explained the new data to be gathered in terms of Kamloops, explaining that, should paramedics see a rash

of overdoses that are not fatal, the ministry could contact ASK Wellness, which has outreach workers on the streets who know many of the drug users and help connect them with information and services.

Kendall said areas of concern can also be identified, where mobile health units could be dispatched to provide care and education.

The ministry has been taking steps to boost harm-reduction services, Lake said.

It recently expanded access to Naloxone, a drug that can reverse an opioid-related overdose.

First responders trained to use the drug can now administer it and it can be purchased without a prescription at pharmacies for those who want to have a kit handy for personal reasons.

All information gathered will be treated with confidentiality, Kendall said, as is all medical data.

It won’t be shared with the authorities, he said, but added police and the federal border-

services department will continue their work identifying the source of drugs and stopping them.

Kendall said indica-

tions are the drugs are coming from pharmaceutical factories in China. Fentanyl is a particular concern, he said, because it is

AM I ENTITLED TO JOB SECURITY? Generally speaking, non-union employees are not entitled to job security. This often comes as a surprise to many people.

An employer can release an employee for many different reasons. For example, economic factors may change and an employer may need to downsize its operations.

Essentially, as long as the reason for dismissal does not violate human rights, an employer can let an employee go for any reason. If the dismissal is without cause, meaning that it was due to no fault of the employee, an employer must provide the employee with either reasonable working notice of the dismissal or payment in lieu of notice.

The period of notice will vary depending on several different factors, including the employee’s length of service, age, position, education, etc.

Hotel 540 as home to new market?

Year-round farmers’ market could be self-funding entity ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A permanent farmers’ market in downtown Kamloops could be self-funding and have enough locally grown food to operate year-round, according to consultants studying the idea.

“There does seem to be enough demand, enough vendors interested in participating, and there does seem to be a suitable site,” said consultant David Van Seters.

During an open house at Terra restaurant on Wednesday, Van Seters and other consultants hired by the Kamloops Regional Farmers’ Market Society, Community Futures Thompson Country, Thompson Shuswap Chef Farmer Collaborative and the Southern Interior Beetle Action Coalition outlined a plan for a 14,000-square-foot market in the city’s core.

The market would house a number of permanent food busi-

nesses, which could include a butcher, fishmonger, baker or microbrewery, as well as a large numbers of vendors for weekly or twice-weekly farmers’ markets.

Van Seters said the market would be slightly smaller than Victoria’s public market and similar in size to a market in Bellingham, Wash.

While consultants looked at smaller options for Kamloops, Van Seters said a high level of interest from potential vendors led them to recommend a larger size.

Nearly 70 businesses have expressed interest in selling at the market.

Van Seters said a larger market would also be a larger draw for tourists and could still make enough money to be self-sustaining, based on early calculations.

Janine de la Salle with Urban Food Strategies said after looking at a number of sits downtown, Hotel 540 appears to be the best option, since there is a willing landlord, enough space and

ample parking nearby.

“It’s available now,” she said.

“The casino’s gone, the space has been gutted and management is looking for a new business to go in.”

But she said there are also a number of other downtown locations that could work for a market, depending on how quickly those backing the project want to move ahead.

SSOL Gardens owner and Kamloops Regional Farmers’ Market board member Daniela Basile said she wants to see more location options, but is excited a year-round market could work in Kamloops.

“I know at our farm, we still have potatoes and squash in storage and I know other people that have eggs. Their chickens continue to lay through winter. And brew-ups, they produce all year round,” she said.

“It proves that it can be done.

A lot of people hesitate, but this shows the potential is there and that’s great.”

“This is a good day,” the executive director of Kamloops’ White Buffalo Aboriginal and Métis Health Society said of the landmark ruling.

“I’ve had a lot of emails and texts from elders who say they want to cry.”

Yesterday’s unanimous ruling by the Supreme Court of Canada ended a 17-year legal journey for Métis and non-status Indians, one begun in 1999 by Harry Daniels, then-president of the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples (CAP), along with Leah Gardner, a non-status Anishinaabe woman, and Terry Joudrey, a non-status Mi’kmaq man.

Daniels died 12 years ago.

They had argued that with neither provincial nor federal governments accepting jurisdiction over their communities, they had fallen through the cracks and were not receiving proper education, health care or social services.

The case finally went to trial in 2011 and saw the federal court declare

they fall under federal jurisdiction and have the right to negotiate access to federal programs and services.

Following a federal government appeal of the ruling, the lower court’s decision was upheld for Métis, but not for non-status Indians.

The CAP appealed that ruling to the Supreme Court of Canada and a dozen intervenors, including provincial governments and other aboriginal organizations, became involved.

The federal government’s position was the Constitution did not intend Métis to be part of section 91(24) of that document, the section that spells out that Indians are its exclusive jurisdiction. Cardinal said the ruling gives the two communities access to education, land claims and hunting rights, all details that will need to be resolved in coming months.

In Ottawa, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau vowed to work alongside both communities moving forward.

“Now we can walk together with Métis pride we’ve always had in our hearts,” Cardinal said, noting Métis were the most disadvantaged of the aboriginal population. “Now we actually have a place.”

The process for someone to be identified as a Métis or non-status Indian is detailed and requires genealogical documentation linking a person to aboriginal ties. Most people look for linkage to the Red River area of Manitoba, site of the 1869 rebellion led by Métis leader Louis Riel, but there are many other Métis with links not associated with that part of the country, Cardinal said, so a process will be required to help confirm their status.

She suggested the best sources of information for Métis in the Kamloops area would be the B.C. Métis Federation (info@BCMetis.com, 604-638-7220) or the Métis Nation B.C. (1-800940-1150). The Congress of Aboriginal Peoples can be contacted at reception@abo-peoples. org or 1-888-997-9927.

Britten, regional geologist for the Ministry of Energy and Mines, presented an update on mining and mineral exploration in an area that stretches from the U.S. border north to Quesnel.

There are five operating mines, including Highland Valley Copper and New Afton close to the city, two projects in the environmentalapproval process and another 50 junior exploration projects.

Of the two projects, only Ajax remains in the approval process.

Yellowhead Mining Inc. placed its Harper Creek project, near Avola in the North Thompson, on hold in October when it ran out of money.

Harper Creek is a larger deposit than Ajax, with a 28-year proposed mine life versus 18. Its estimated capital cost is $1 billion versus Ajax at $1.3 billion.

On Monday, Alex Murdoch stood on a viewing platform on the Summit lookout trail in Kenna Cartwright Park to snap a picture while his two dogs trailed a few metres behind.

“He paused because he was behind me,” Murdoch said of Izak, his parents’ Jack Russell terrier-mix who accompanied him, along with another larger mixed breed.

Murdoch had been to the park dozens of times and was familiar with the terrain.

“I didn’t see it happen,” he said.

“I couldn’t find him.

I looked all over the place . . . I was running all over and asking people if they’d seen him.”

Two hours later, Murdoch found Izak by going down a ravine about 100 feet from where he last saw him, where several ravens circled.

Izak was bleeding and labouring to breathe and had crawled beneath a fallen tree.

Murdoch cradled Izak in his arms for the four-kilometre trek back to the parking lot.

But the terrier died in his arms a couple of hundred feet from his vehicle.

STAFF REPORTER

The culprit was obvious to Murdoch: coyotes.

But conservation officer Kevin Van Damme said without an investigation, the predator responsible for Izak’s death is a guess.

Coyote, bear, bobcat — even another dog is possible.

While Van Damme wouldn’t speculate on the dog’s cause of death, he said coyotes will kill dogs.

“There’s two reasons coyotes will kill a dog: one is for protection if it has pups and the dog is getting too close . . .

The other reason they’ll attack is to eat them.”

VIEWPOINT

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

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

HOT: The filming action this week in downtown Kamloops.

There are no major stars on our streets, but plenty of locals are experiencing the thrill of working as extras during the Power Rangers shoot.

And the economic impact such a venture brings to the city is always welcome. Here’s hoping more Hollywood productions soon discover the Tournament Capital.

NOT: Those low enough on the evolutionary scale to stoop to breaking into lockers at the Tournament Capital Centre and into vehicles at Royal Inland Hospital.

Police this week released information on the two incidents, along with photos of the culprits. (which can be viewed online at kamloopsthisweek.com).

These despicable acts were preceded by the theft of two valuable rings from the volunteerrun RIH Thrift Store downtown. Photos of those criminals are also on our website and on our Facebook page.

Help identify these cretins so they can face justice.

OUR

VIEW

HOT: The anger that has risen in some residents following Kamloops council’s decision this week reaffirming the closure of the outdoor pool in McDonald Park.

While there were plans for a save-our-pool rally tomorrow, the demolition project that suddenly began yesterday (complete with the arrest of a man who allegedly bumped a bylaw officer with his vehicle) may have rendered the protest pointless.

Let’s park next to this plan

I

t is more than a tad annoying to stumble out of a hospital after watching your father take his last breath, only to find a parking ticket affixed to your windshield wiper.

The grief of losing the last of your two parents is powerfully numbing, but it is surprising how that violation ticket blowing in the wind can bring angry clarity.

A few days later, the company that operates paid parking at the Abbotsford Regional Hospital agreed to waive my hefty fine after having the situation explained to them.

They were, in fact, understanding.

However, the stress of paying for parking while at the taxpayer-funded facility you least want to visit continues to plague too many people.

It remains a pain down in Abbotsford, here in Kamloops and across this nation that embraces universal health care by applying so many taxes and fees that it is anything but free (as I often explain to Americans when they begin gushing about our no-cost health-care system).

So it was that an encouraging bit of news crossed my desk this week.

It seems the great province of Prince Edward Island will soon become the only one in Canada to offer free parking at its hospitals.

The island’s largest hospital, Queen Elizabeth in Charlottetown, will have parking fees eliminated as of July 1.

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

Newsroom

MUSINGS Queen Elizabeth is the only hospital in P.E.I. that charges for parking — and even then it is a sweet deal compared to many other locales.

Parking is free for the first hour and $1.50 per hour to a daily maximum fee of $7.

But, as of Canada Day, the daily maximum will be zero, thereby ending 23 years of parking fees that were introduced to augment health-care funding.

(According to statistics on the Interior Health Authority website, parking at Royal Inland Hospital is $1.50 per hour, $6 per day, $36 per week and $60 per month. No word if there will be any changes once the new parkade fronting Columbia Street opens this summer.)

The decision by the government of P.E.I. to eliminate parking fees at hospitals is being applauded by patient-advocacy groups, but is unlikely to be emulated elsewhere any time soon.

In March 2013, CBC’s Marketplace focused on this very issue by turning its cameras on

the hospital in Abbotsford and another one in the Toronto area.

Families with seriously ill children were seen spending far too much money to simply park their vehicles and get their kids the life-saving care they needed.

Marketplace aired an update last month, three years after its original program aired, with some good news and some bad news.

The good: Ontario has introduced discounted parking fees for those who need to be at the hospital often and has expanded its program to forgive fees in certain situations.

The bad: In the 36 months since the original program was shown, hospital parking fees in at least three provinces had risen to even more stressful heights.

Last summer, during a lengthy interview I had with Health Minister Terry Lake, he noted $2 million per hour is spent in the B.C. health-care system.

That astounding number is used to illustrate how much money is spent in that sector.

One could argue the system needs every penny it can collect to feed its voracious appetite.

Conversely, one could argue that a ministry with a budget in the billions of dollars and with an MSP fee structure that continues to reach deeper into taxpayers’ pockets, forgoing the relative pittance collected at the parking meters would have a negligible effect on the global budget, but a profound impact on the well-being of patients. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND BELIEVES KGHM? Editor: The April 6 public forum at Thompson Rivers University, featuring reports from three independent, professional scientists regarding air, water and soil quality as it pertains to the proposed Ajax mine, was yet another disturbing eye-opener.

Dr. Douw Steyn (professor emeritus of atmospheric science, UBC), Kent Watson (local soils specialist) and Dr. Kevin Morin (water expert and registered professional geoscientist) all agree that much of the so-

called “science” KGHM Ajax is presenting in its application is not true and that the negative impact this mine would have on human health and the local environment will be much greater than the company’s application indicates.

I definitely trust and believe these three independent scientists, who have no investment in the proposed mine, over the “science” KGHM Ajax is presenting.

Who in their right mind would believe anything KGHM says?

The company will never admit its proposed mine is going to be toxic and dangerous to the 90,000 people living next door to it.

If KGHM Ajax did, it would lose out on the big money it is going to make at our expense if the project is approved.

Wake up, Kamloops, and fight for the health and safety of your family and friends while you still can.

Sandi Mikuse Kamloops

WE WANTED TO MOVE TO KAMLOOPS — BEFORE AJAX Editor: I am writing to you to express my disappointment in learning that KGHM Ajax may get approval to operate an open-pit mine just south of Kamloops.

My husband and I are from Saskatchewan and we have been looking at property in the Kamloops area. We are looking to relocate, purchase property, build a home and continue our business in the Kamloops area.

We found the area quite appealing.

We now operate a successful health and safety business with 14 employees. We thought we could operate a scaled-down version in Kamloops, enjoying the proximity to many lakes and outdoor activities.

When we learned of the proposed open-pit mine, we abruptly put a halt to any plans to build a home and contribute to the

economic progress of Kamloops.

Being a nurse practitioner and an industrial hygienist, I am fully aware of the many health hazards open-pit mines pose to those who live within their proximity.

We are not willing to take that risk.

Frankly, I am quite surprised that, despite the plethora of information on the extreme hazards such a mine poses to

human health, the authorities are even considering this.

We are disappointed and we will be looking elsewhere to build and contribute to an economy if the proposed Ajax mine is approved.

The outcome will not be good and the cost of human health will out weigh any economic benefit.

Shirley Galloway Oxbow, Sask.

HONEST DEED AT HOME SHOW WILL BE PAID FORWARD Editor: During my visit to the Kamloops Spring Home Show on the weekend, I lost my wallet.

I was soon contacted by organizer Jim Rice, who said my wallet had been turned in fully intact.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to a young couple.

The only name relayed

was Jason.

I can assure Jason his honest deed will be paid forward.

Thank you to everyone who played a part in the return of my wallet.

You are all what makes Kamloops a great place to live.

RE: STORY: B.C. MINES MINSTER SAYS KGHM AJAX IS ‘SHELL SHOCKED’ BY OPPOSITION:

“The problem with Mr. Bennett is that he does not understand why people in Kamloops oppose this mine.

“1. We don’t opposing mining, we oppose the location of this mine.

“2. We oppose it for health reasons.

“3. We oppose it for the amount of subsidies given to a foreign corporation.

“4. We oppose it because the EA is not independent.

“5. We oppose it because we export way more jobs than we get.”

Saturday When KTW photographer Dave Eagles arrived at Club Spych Health and Fitness yesterday morning, he found owner Tarah Jordan doing her best to put on a strong face, but succumbing to emotion when longtime member Sylvia MacKenzie offered condolences. Jordan opened the gym 10 years ago and today it will close for good, unable to compete with big-business gyms that are flocking to Kamloops.

‘This gym is my family’ CLUB SPYCH UNABLE TO SURVIVE CHANGING FITNESS LANDSCAPE IN KAMLOOPS MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

arah Jordan’s mascara was running down her face as she ripped up floor mats at Club Spych Health and Fitness.

She was dismantling her baby, the Valleyview business she started 10 years ago. With every piece of equipment she dragged out to her dad’s truck went a chunk of her heart.

“It is my family. This gym is my family,” said Jordan, standing outside the Oriole Road building, pausing to wipe away tears and clear her throat. “I would

love to have kept it for the rest of my life. My daughter could have taken it over one day. She loves the gym. Unfortunately, because of bigger businesses coming in, bigger gyms, there’s tons of gyms in Kamloops, I just can’t compete with that.”

Club Spych, named after Jordan’s grandfather, Bill Spychka, opened in June 2006 and will close its doors today, no longer able to make ends meet.

“The bigger businesses are coming in and wiping out the little guys, in a way,” Jordan said.

“They’ve got a lot more money to throw around. The little businesses have to charge a little more to maintain the equipment and the rent and the leases and every-

thing that goes along with it.”

The most recent additions to the Kamloops health-business scene are industry giants Snap Fitness and Anytime Fitness, each having opened their doors this year. Orangetheory Fitness, which has franchises across the globe, is opening soon. All three are located on the South Shore.

They bring with them big advertising dollars, financial backing and marketing power most gyms in Kamloops don’t have, but some local owners aren’t sold on the new guys in town and others are wondering if there are enough clients to go around.

At KTW’s last count, and not including any operations that

might have popped up after press deadline, there are more than 20 fitness establishments (not including yoga studios) in Kamloops, which has a population of 90,000.

“I just know the overhead and how expensive it is to run a gym, so it’ll be interesting to see how it all pans out,” said Andrew Watson, part-owner of No Limits Fitness on the North Shore.

“Personally, I don’t know if it’ll support that many on that side of town. When a new gym opens up, a lot of people go and try it for the first year, but we have a lot of people coming back to our gym — a lot. You have to give it that personal touch.”

Owners wary of new gyms opening in town From A13

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Tarah Jordan will miss the friends she made at Club Spych.

That personal touch is something Club Spych had in spades.

Clients would wander behind the front desk to hang out with Jordan, who knows most of them by name. Daily gossip was part of the workout routine for many.

The gym was also a popular afterschool hangout for Valleyview secondary students.

For the less social, it was just a quiet place to train, an unassuming setting for the Average Joe. No Limits has been a success story since opening three years ago, but Watson is wary of “rumours of other people still sniffing around this town,” and admits the arrival of Steve Nash Fitness World or Club 16 Trevor Linden Fitness might damage business.

“I’ve seen some of their prices as low as $10 a month,” Watson said. “Those ridiculous prices, they can hurt small business owners like us, even though we’re three years old. Anybody can be at risk.”

Bianca Liberatore and Zack Currie, the young couple who

started NXL Athletics less than two years ago, focus on customized training and have developed a following at their Victoria Street gym.

They are thrilled with early success, but not blind to what’s happening around them.

“It’d be pretty cocky to say it didn’t worry me at all,” Liberatore said. “It would break my heart to lose my gym. I feel bad for her [Jordan]. It’s a small gym. When the big gyms open up, what can you do?”

Liberatore noted most viable fitness locations in Kamloops focus on niche markets, whether it be cross-fit, 24-hour, elite athletes or ladies-only.

Angela Veltri, who owns Kix 4 Chix, said new kids on the block need to have something that makes them stand out.

“I think with Snap Fitness and Anytime Fitness, they have to have something pretty special to hold peoples’ attention,” said Veltri, who opened the kickboxing gym in 2011. “It’s just like restaurants in Kamloops. They open.

They close.

“When you have these franchises come in and they’re big and they don’t cater to the local community, they’re going to be gone unless they build a name for themselves. Kamloops people are fickle about where they go. They’ll drop it and go somewhere else.”

Club Spych was a bare-bones gym, but it knew what it was and so did loyal clients such as Ben Saklofsky, 22, who has been pumping iron there for seven years.

“I was shocked to hear it was closing, at first, and it’s sad because the community here is pretty tight and it’s going to hurt a lot of the people that live close,” Saklofsky said before getting back to his routine, one of the last he enjoyed at Club Spych.

“Everyone knows Tarah pretty well. It’s going to be shitty without it. That’s just what happens in life with business. Bigger business takes away the little ones, but it’s sad to see because Tarah loved this place and it was like her home forever.”

The novelty factor is on the side of the shiny new gyms and

they have every chance to prove they, too, can have the personal touch Veltri, Liberatore and Watson say is necessary to survive in Kamloops.

“We talk about goalsetting, do weight measurements and take photos, so it’s more personalized, as opposed to just getting as many people as we can through the door,” Liberatore said.

Joe Caldow, owner of the local Anytime Fitness franchise, was asked if he is

worried about the seemingly saturated gym market in Kamloops.

“No, we’re not,” he said.

“Anytime Fitness was ranked the No. 1 franchise in the world globally last year and that’s for a very good reason.

We cater to everyone. We create a very positive and encouraging culture within the gym.”

The Tournament Capital Centre is taxpayer-subsidized and can offer indoor, outdoor and aquatic services for a lower monthly rate

(KTW’s corporate rate is $39) than Club Spych was charging ($44) for its weight-room only facility.

While Caldow refused to provide a ballpark monthly registration fee for Anytime, he said customers can pay anywhere between $0, if they refer five people, to $5,000, if interested in high-end personal-training packages.

But many of the River City’s gyms and fitness clubs charge more than Club Spych and increasingly competitive rates are just one

reason for its demise.

“When you think about the cost of commercial space in Kamloops, it’s pretty high,” Veltri said. “You really have to have a lot of people because our population isn’t huge and it’s a challenge to get that many people through the door. That’s unfortunate to hear about Club Spych.

They’ve been open for a long time. I know Tarah.”

More established outfits like No Limits have the foundation to survive a smallscale exodus of clients and the financial wherewithal to withstand the loss of those wandering prodigle sons who sometimes return.

Club Spych did not have that luxury and similar smaller gyms might experience comparable struggles, Liberatore said.

“When something new and exciting opens up, people say, ‘Oh, let’s go there instead.’ Everyone just wants the next best thing, but they get bored very easily,” said Liberatore. “Of course it’s going to worry me and put a bit of pressure on, but it’s also good to have good competitors, as well.”

Jordan frantically fielded phone calls on Tuesday, attempting to deal with

accountants and sell off equipment, while at the same time dodging boxes and stopping to hug clients — friends who offered condolences.

It took very little to trigger tears.

“To say goodbye to everybody, I thought it would get easier every day, but it’s just getting harder,” said Jordan, who has taken a job working in a warehouse. “It’s really upsetting. Each and every day that I’m coming in is one day closer to the day that I close.

“Hopefully, someone will come out this way and make a gym work.

There’s nothing else out

here — Valleyview, Dallas, Barnhartvale and Juniper.”

Jordan and her family will be fine financially as her husband has a good job. The pain she is feeling does not stem from her pocketbook.

“This place has been everything,” Jordan said. “I liked helping people change their figures and their mentality and everything that went along with it. I was pregnant working in here and my daughter has been raised in the gym. For her, she’s having a really hard time with it. So is my husband and the members. We all are. It’s going to be hard to let go.

“It’s a big family in here.”

LA Rams acquire No. 1 draft pick from Titans TERESA WALKER

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NASHVILLE — The Tennessee Titans have traded the No. 1 overall selection in this month’s NFL draft to the Los Angeles Rams for a collection of picks in one of the biggest deals in league history.

In a deal agreed to Wednesday night and

announced yesterday, Tennessee swaps the top pick to the Rams, along with its choices in the fourth and sixth rounds.

The Rams will give the Titans their firstround pick (No. 15 overall), along with two second-round selections and their third-round pick in the April 28 draft.

The Titans also will receive the Rams’ firstand third-round round picks in the 2017 draft.

With the trade, the Rams now have the ability to draft the quarterback of their choice and make a splash as they return to Los Angeles after leaving St. Louis this year.

Carson Wentz of

North Dakota State and Jared Goff of California are considered the top QB prospects.

Rams’ coach Jeff Fisher led the Titans from 1994 to 2010, including three seasons when they were the Houston Oilers.

Tennessee now has six of this draft’s first 76 picks.

ROCKETS, ROYALS BACK TO VICTORIA The Kelowna Rockets entered WHL playoff action last night with the opportunity to draw even with the visiting Victoria Royals in their best-ofseven second-round series at Prospera Place.

Puck drop was after KTW’s press time.

The Rockets and the Royals were the only teams in action yesterday, with the league’s other six teams hitting the ice tonight in Everett, Brandon and Red Deer. The Royals and Rockets will also square off in Game 5 of their Western Conference series tonight, with action shifting

back to Vancouver Island.

In the Western Conference’s other matchup, the Seattle Thunderbirds enter Game 4 tonight against the Everett Silvertips, leading the series 2-1. The Thunderbirds are in the second round for the first time since 2014 and are looking to put a stranglehold on the Silvertips, who fell 4-1 in a second-round series against the Portland Winterhawks last season.

In the Eastern Conference, last year’s conference champion Brandon Wheat Kings lead the Moose Jaw Warriors

3-1. Brandon brushed past all its competition in the East in 2015, losing just three times in the first three rounds before being swept by the Rockets in the WHL championship. The Warriors, meanwhile, are seeing their first post-season action since 2012.

The Red Deer Rebels, who will host the 2016 Memorial Cup, are even with the Regina Pats through four games in the East’s other second-round matchup. Both teams have won a pair of games at home, with the series shifting back to Red Deer for Game 5 tonight.

Wranglers through to Keystone Cup After taking care of their competition in British Columbia, the 100 Mile House Wranglers are in the thick of the quest for junior B supremacy in Western Canada, one day into the 2016 Keystone Cup in Regina.

The Keystone Cup, which brings together the best junior B clubs from B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario, got underway yesterday morning.

The Wranglers, who advanced to the championship by defeating the Victoria Cougars 5-4 in the final of the Cyclone Taylor Cup — the B.C. provincial championship — are joined in Regina

by the North Peace Navigators (Alberta), the AGI Insurance Quakers (Saskatchewan), the Peguis Juniors (Manitoba), the Thunder Bay Northern Hawks (Northwestern Ontario) and the Extreme Hockey Regina Capitals (hosts).

The Keystone Cup’s gold-medal game will be played on Sunday. All games can be watched online at keystonecup.ca.

Representatives from the KIJHL, of which the Kamloops Storm and the Wranglers are a part, have played in two of the last three Keystone Cups. The Beaver Valley Nitehawks won the Western Canadian championship in 2014.

General manager Jon Robinson, hired in January, is looking to rebuild a franchise that has gone 5-27 the past two seasons.

Robinson said the addition of draft picks

for this year and next gives the Titans flexibility, so Tennessee might not be staying at No. 15.

This is just the seventh trade involving the top overall pick

since 1990 and the first since 2004. That was when San Diego drafted Eli Manning and traded his rights to the New York Giants, with the Chargers winding up with Philip Rivers.

tory over the Utah Jazz.

He scored 23 points in the fourth quarter, posting his first 50-point game since February 2009 and rallying the Lakers from a 15-point deficit to win the final game of the worst season in franchise history.

“The perfect ending would have been a championship,’’ Bryant said with a smile. “But tonight was [me] trying to go out, play hard and try to put on a show as much as I possibly could. It felt good to be able to do that one last time.’’

Bryant and his teammates conspired for one last omnivorous scoring performance by the thirdleading scorer (33,643

career points)in NBA history.

Kobe came up with the fifth highestscoring game of his career. He became the oldest player to score 50 points in an NBA game with his highestscoring performance since getting 61 against New York in 2009 — oh, and he had four assists and four rebounds.

The entire night was a tribute to Bryant, who is retiring after 20 seasons, five championship rings and 18 allstar selections with the Lakers, who honoured him before and after the game. Bryant is just the fifth player in NBA history to play 20 seasons, and the first with just one team.

Warriors finish at record 73-9 Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors made good on their last shot at Michael Jordan and history Wednesday, becoming the first team in the NBA to win 73 games in the regular season, beating the Memphis Grizzlies 125-104.

The win broke what many considered an unmatchable mark set 20 years ago by Jordan’s Chicago Bulls.

Curry also achieved yet one more shooting milestone, becoming the first player to make 400 three-pointers in a season. He finished with 402.

He took great pride in his cattle herd, and was involved with 4H and the BC Cattlemen’s Association at various stages in his life.

In his spare time Don could be found at community events or keeping informed with current issues, locally and globally.

Happy Birthday Dad! With love from your family

We are saddened by the recent passing of our father and husband John Braun, on Sunday, April 3rd at Royal Inland Hospital.

Hedy Usipiuk

May 23, 1924 – April 13, 2016 Jadwiga (Hedy) Usipiuk (nee Durkowska) of Kamloops, BC passed away on April 13, 2016 at 91 years of age. Hedy was born in Warderzyn, Poland, on May 23, 1924. As a young girl, she loved gardening and foraging for mushrooms in the forest with her brother Ezydor. Sometimes they would get lost in the woods for hours but eventually they made their way home. Suddenly at the age of 16, her family was torn apart by war. After surviving the Second World War, she immigrated to Canada and settled in Langenburg, Saskatchewan.

At the hospital, the nuns took her in and trained her as a practical nurse. She worked there for six years, mainly in the maternity ward.

It was in Langenburg where Hedy met Harry and they married. Then they moved to Dawson Creek where they had three children Gordon, Helen and Linda. In 1962, they moved to Hudson Hope where Harry worked on the W.A.C. Bennett Dam. There, Hedy enjoyed gardening in summer and snowmobiling in winter. The house was full of friends every weekend. In 1970, the family moved to Kamloops and Harry commuted to work at the Mica Creek Dam. For years, Hedy was a Fuller Brush sales woman and, in doing so, made many good friends. She was also a devout member of the Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church.

In her garden, Hedy loved growing potatoes most of all. She never wore gardening gloves because, as she said, “I love to put my hands in the soil.” Her pride and joy was caring for her children and grandchildren: cooking, baking, sewing and knitting their clothes. Hedy was a story teller and a genuine friend indeed. Tough on the outside and so lovingly soft on the inside, she will be deeply missed by family and by her many friends Susan, Nora, Teresa, Barb and many more.

Hedy is survived by her loving children Gordon (Rhonda) Usipiuk of Victoria, BC and Helen Hanson of Kamloops, BC; grandchildren Charlene Chiborak , Jason (Rae-Ann) Hanson, Murray (Syndey) Usipiuk, Jamie (Matt) Biggar and Janelle (Alex) Hanson, great grandchildren Dylan, Allysia, Braeden, Kali and Kale of Winnigpeg, Dayton, Zoe and Le-Ell of Edmonton and Garette of Kamloops, brother Ezydor (Misia) Durkowski of Poland.

Predeceased by her brother Zenac, husband Harry Usipiuk, daughter Linda Lind, son-in-law Victor Lind, nephews Jason and Isaac Handy.

Those wishing to pay their respects by viewing may do so between the hours of 3:00PM and 5:00 PM on Sunday, April 17th, 2016 in the Rosewood Room at the Kamloops Funeral Home (285 Fortune Drive).

The Mass of Christian Burial will take place 11:00AM Monday, April 18th, 2016 at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church (635 Tranquille Rd.) with Father Paul Simms Celebrant.

Interment to follow at Hillside Cemetery.

A special thanks to the firefighter and ambulance crews for responding so quickly and the staff at RIH emergency and Ward 3 for such excellent care.

Feds introduce long-awaited law on assisted death THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The federal government has introduced a long-awaited and controversial new law spelling out the conditions in which seriously ill or dying Canadians may seek medical help to end their lives.

The legislation states there should be a choice of medically assisted death “for adults who are suffering intolerably and for whom death is reasonably foreseeable.’’

That’s more restrictive than what the top court said last year when it overturned the existing prohibition on doctor assisted suicide.

The Supreme Court did not require person’s condition to be terminal for them to request a doctor’s help to end their lives.

The bill says those eligible would be mentally competent adults, 18 years or older, who voluntarily request help with informed consent.

They must have a serious and incurable disease, illness or disability and be

in an advanced state of irreversible decline in capability.

The person must be on a course toward the end of life but, while death would have to be foreseen, there would not have to be a specific prognosis or prospected time period before death.

To get a doctor’s help, a written request would be required, either from the patient or a designated person if the patient was incapable, and the request would need to be signed by two independent witnesses.

Two independent physicians or authorized nurse practitioners would have to evaluate it and there would be a mandatory 15-day waiting period unless death or loss of capacity to consent was imminent.

Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo MP Cathy McLeod said the bill includes all recommendations from her Conservative party, including excluding minors, stringent safeguards to protect those with underlying medical health challenges and recognizing the risks

involved with advanced directives.

“This past year, constituents have told me how highly complex and deeply sensitive this issue is for them,” McLeod said.

“I promised that I would analyze this legislation thoroughly in hopes that it addressed some of their very serious concerns.

“Going forward, I will be studying the complexity of this legislation, particularly the protection of vulnerable populations and the conscience rights of workers and institutions in the health care sector.

“I look forward to participating and listening to the debate at second reading prior to making my decision on how to vote.”

B.C. Health Minister Terry Lake said he was not surprised by the legislation introduced.

His ministry has been working with health authorities and colleges overseeing health-care professionals in anticipation of the legislation to ensure vulnerable people will be protected

This past year, constituents “ have told me how highly

sciences on the legislation, the same as MPs from other parties.

Government House leader Dominic LeBlanc had suggested some weeks ago that Liberal MPs would be required to support it.

Interim Conservative Leader Rona Ambrose, who was health minister in the previous government, is concerned there will be little time for all MPs to debate the merits of the new bill and pass it in both houses of Parliament by June 6.

Legal experts and others also predict the new bill will inevitably be challenged, both by those who feel the law doesn’t go far enough and those who feel it goes too far.

Consequently, some members of the special committee and some advocacy groups have called on the government to preemptively ask the Supreme Court whether the new law complies with the charter of rights — rather than forcing sick and dying individuals to launch their own court challenges.

I promised that I would analyze this legislation — CATHY McLEOD thoroughly . . .

Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP

but those who qualify can access what will be a health service.

The legislation is the long-awaited response to the Supreme Court’s ruling last year the prohibition on doctor assisted suicide violates the right to life, liberty and security of the person.

The court gave the federal government until Feb. 6 — later extended to June 6 — to come up with a new law that recognizes the right of clearly consenting adults who are enduring intolerable physical or mental suffering to seek medical help to end their lives.

The government is going to appoint one or more independent bodies

to study some outstanding issues not explicitly dealt with in the legislation, including whether it could cover mature minors, people who only suffer from mental illnesses and whether people could have advance directives that would grant them access to medically assisted death should a situation arise.

The federal government will also work with provinces to co-ordinate end of life care and connect patients with doctors or nurse practitioners willing to help them die.

The government confirmed Liberal backbenchers will be free to vote according to their con-

Clean energy in B.C. Fall kills produces green power female and jobs, report says skier at Clean Energy BC says its 160 members are resort responsible for $8.6-million in investment WHISTLER

THE CANADIAN PRESS

THE CANADIAN PRESS

WHISTLER — A woman has died while skiing on Whistler Mountain.

RCMP in the resort municipality say they were called at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday.

The 48-year-old woman’s body was found at the base of a 25-metre cliff.

Sgt. Rob Knapton said another skier spotted the woman and called for help.

He said members of the Whistler ski patrol and doctors on the mountain were unable to resuscitate the woman, whose name has not been released.

The B.C. Coroners Service and police are continuing an investigation.

VANCOUVER — Clean-energy power producers in British Columbia say their projects have energized the province’s economy through jobs and investment opportunities.

A report from Clean Energy BC finds the association’s 160 members produce 14 per cent of BC Hydro’s energy supply using wind, thermal or solar power, as well as small hydro facilities called run-of-river operations.

Clean Energy BC executive director Paul Kariya said the operations are responsible for more than $8.6 billion in investment across the province.

He said that has helped many First Nations communities suffering from the collapse in oil and other commodity markets.

In addition to creating sustainable and renewable power, the cleanenergy report finds projects linked to the sector are responsible for about 16,000 construction jobs across B.C. Future green-energy projects are

expected to create another 4,500 construction jobs, while the report states renewable power accounts for more than 800 current and future operational KARIYA positions.

A dozen First Nations are members of the private-sector industry association and the study detailed their participation in sustainable power projects through revenuesharing, employment and training.

“Over the course of a decade, clean-power producers have forged deep relationships with indigenous leaders,’’ Kariya said. “[Clean Energy BC has] innovated made-in-B.C. solutions to protect ecosystems and breathed new life into struggling communities all over the province,’’ he said.

“If the provincial government heeds the advice of its own climate leadership team, then we’re going to need plenty of clean electricity. We’re ready to deliver the goods.’’

impacted by the funds raised.

“He thought we should step into the void,” Stokes said.

“So that’s exactly what we have done.”

In its first year, Papa John’s raised more than $42,000 — enough to send 72 kids to the Happiest Place on Earth.

“We didn’t have a goal,” Stokes said.

“We didn’t know what to expect.”

It has Stokes excited for round two on April 27, when his goal will be to raise $50,000.

Staff get excited, too, adding their wages to the food already donated.

It is voluntary to give their time, but Stokes said last year’s participation was 100 per cent and

ohn Stokes knew DreamLift Day was big at Wendy’s.

But the Papa John’s Pizza general manager didn’t know what to expect when the pizza shop took over fundraising efforts last year.

“It was busier than we expected,” Stokes told KTW. “For all [five] stores, they doubled what they would be doing that day.”

When Wendy’s announced it would no longer help fund DreamLift Day for the Sunshine Foundation — which sends kids with lifethreatening illnesses and severe disabilities to Disneyland for a day — a Papa John’s employee came up with the idea to take over the event.

A former Wendy’s employee, he knew not only the success of the fundraising campaign, but more importantly, what it meant to people.

All of the money goes to kids and stays local, Stokes said.

Hop in a car and drive north from the South Okanagan toward Prince George, he noted, to find at least a couple of kids in each town along the way who have been

Where Do The Funds Go?

Papa John’s Pizza locations in Kamloops, Kelowna, West Kelowna and Prince George will be donating 100 per cent of their proceeds on April 27 to the Sunshine Foundation.

Kamloops has two locations: in Aberdeen (407-1801 Princeton-Kamloops Hwy.) and in North Kamloops (700 Tranquille Rd.) Customers are asked to budget more than 15 minutes for their pizza orders. workers’ names go into a hat with the chance of joining the kids travelling to Disneyland.

“The staff were buzzing,” Stokes said of last year, noting they

try to keep the busy day light and fun.

Leading up to the event, Dream cookies — giant cookies shaped like pizzas —

are on sale, with $1 from each put toward that $50,000 goal.

“The more money we raise, the more kids on the plane,” Stokes said.

Historic Investment in Affordable Rental Housing The Province has committed $355 million through the Provincial Investment in Affordable Housing (PIAH) program for the creation of more than 2,000 affordable rental housing units across British Columbia.

BC Housing has issued a call for Expressions of Interest (EOI) to partner with municipalities, non-profit housing providers, the private sector and other community groups, to develop and acquire new affordable and social housing units.

Information sessions for interested proponents will be held via webinar on the following dates: April 25, 1pm - 3pm | April 27, 1pm - 3pm

evan Christodoulou grew up surrounded by iconic music — The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Neil Young — and with a musical dad.

It had an effect — he started writing his own songs, works he showed audio engineer Andy Schichter.

The Vancouver engineer was working with Christodoulou and Gunn Park at the time, recording the band they were in then.

But Schichter saw something in the songs, enough that he had Christodoulou record some of them — and Echo Nebraska was born, the result of Christodoulou’s preference for the word echo and Schichter inspired

by seeing the film Nebraska and wanting to use the name.

The clincher was, for most people who heard the name, it conjured up exactly the kind of music the band creates, a sort of folksy rootsy sound that gave birth to the first single, Hey Allison, one that landed the band on CBC Music’s best new music videos list in November 2014, just

WHO: Echo Nebraska, with Joel Ellsay and Jared Doherty WHEN: Wednesday, April 27, 7:30 p.m.

WHERE: The Grind, 125 Fourth Ave. TICKETS: $5 at the door

weeks after the song was released.

Drummer Mike Lauder and violinist Carley Frey finished the lineup.

The band is heading out on a 13-date B.C. and Alberta tour, stopping in Kamloops on April 27 for a show at The Grind, 125 Fourth Ave., a gig that grew from an earlier show in the River City when the band shared the stage with local musicians The Fineprint; one of its musicians steered them toward the venue.

Schichter said

when he saw the names of some of the other bands to play the downtown coffee house he was sure it would work for Echo Nebraska because they were bands he and his fellow musicians all like.

Making their first album was easier than anticipated, Schichter said, because most of the work had been done when they worked on demos of Christodoulou’s songs.

“We went into the studio and we just had to add the harmonies and percussions.”

It’s a process the band will follow as it preps for its next full record, working on it in Schichter’s home studio, getting it to the point where they are happy and then heading into another studio to lay down the tracks.

song. An accompanist will be available. There will also be a dance call for those interested in that art form.

The college offers a two-year diploma program and a halfyear enriched performing-arts diploma program open to students with significant experience.

Weddell said the college has success in seeing its graduates find work in the industry.

Several acting students, for example, have joined the company at the Stratford Festival in Ontario. Others have made their way to New York and Vancouver shooting movies and commercials or working in theatre.

Walk-ups are fine but it’s best to advise the school before auditioning. That can be done by calling 250-595-9970 or emailing csw_act@hotmail.com.

The EOI package is available at MERX Canadian Public Tenders: www.merx.com/bch and links to MERX are also available at BC Housing: www.bchousing.org/ Partners/Call and BC Bid: www.bcbid.gov.bc.ca.

There is no charge for non-profit housing providers to register on MERX; for-profit firms are required to pay a nominal fee to access the EOI opportunity. Interested proponents are encouraged to register well in advance of submitting proposals.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT THEATRE AT TRU

New season features farce, festival The TRU Actors Workshop has set its 2016-2017 season.

Heidi Verwey will open it, directing the Tony Award-winning play Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike by Christopher Durang.

It’s the story of middle-aged siblings Vanya and Sonia, who share a home. Suddenly, their movie-star sister Masha arrives with her new boy toy Spike.

Resentments flare, threats are made and the witty farce moves along courtesy of a maid who can predict the future and a young aspiring actress whose presence next door concerns Masha.

It will be presented Oct. 13 to Oct. 15 and Oct. 20 to Oct. 22.

Next is Uncommon Women and Others by Wendy Wasserstein, directed by Wesley Eccleston.

Set at a women’s college in the early 1970s, it focuses on young women and new opportunities, ranging from the cheerleader and organizer who is sociable and has a plan in place to another

who is withdrawn, living in her own imagination.

Other characters including a woman who longs for a career but feels she shouldn’t seek it out, a woman who just wants marriage to someone she can support, another who is torn between waiting for her prince charming or moving on with her life and a couple who don’t have any idea what they want.

It will be presented

Dec. 1 to Dec. 3 and Dec. 8 to Dec. 10.

Farce returns with The Liar by David Ives, adapted from Le Menteur by Pierre Corneille.

It’s 1643 in Paris and a young man with a single flaw arrives in the city — he cannot tell the truth.

He meets two women, falls in love with one, confuses her with her friend, is unaware the woman he wants to court is engaged to his best

friend and doesn’t know his father is also meddling in his love life.

All the misunderstandings and lies lead to a hilarious conclusion. Directed by Robin Nichol, it will be presented March 2 to March 4 and Marcy 9 to March 11.

The season wraps up with the annual Directors Festival from April 10 to April 15, with one-act plays directed by senior students.

Making memories matter with walk

K

amloops resident Brian Mulhern knows he is not alone on his journey with dementia.

Not only can the retired electrician count on his wife Barb and four children, but together they can count on the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. for assistance.

Mulhern is the honoree for the Investors Group Walk for Alzheimer’s for Kamloops.

The fundraising event for the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. takes place on Sunday, May 1, with the theme “Make memories matter.”

Residents can participate, donate and volunteer.

After Mulhern’s diagnosis in 2012, the couple stopped in the society’s Kamloops resource centre and signed up for the local support groups.

Barb appreciated the centre’s welcoming atmosphere, and said that first contact was the best step they could have taken, as they found comfort knowing they are not alone.

Her husband’s early acceptance of his diagnosis, she said, has allowed the couple to access the support and information so necessary to maintain quality of life.

Mulhern’s career as an electrician started with vocational school in Vancouver and continued through to his move to Kamloops, where he worked for

Weyerhaeuser until retirement in 2002.

The couple continues to travel and enjoy the company of family and friends.

“Memories make us who we are,” said walk chair Marg Rodgers.

“When you walk, you honour those who have passed and support our work to provide help and hope to those living with the disease today.”

She encourages participation because “everyone will be touched by dementia, whether it’s a relative, a friend or someone in your community.

You can make a difference.”

Walk registration takes place at 9 a.m. at Tournament Capital Centre’s indoor and outdoor tracks, 910 McGill Rd. The walk begins at 10:30 a.m.

FOLLOW US ON TWITTER

Individuals and teams are welcome and asked to collect pledges, with funds raised supporting programs and services in the community that: • Improve the quality of life for people living with dementia and for their families; • Support other activities like education and public awareness.

Any team that raises more than $1,000 by this Friday will be entered into a draw for a $500 Best Buy gift card.

Volunteers are also needed.

KTW FILE PHOTO The Phoenix Centre’s Ashes to Dust program gives vulnerable youth the chance to learn mountain biking and receive a bike to practice the sport after the weekend camp wraps up.

From classes to Ashes A class at Thompson Rivers University is helping the Phoenix Centre raise money for its annual mountainbike camp.

Students in the event managementfundraising for nonprofits class have started a crowdfunding campaign for the Ashes to Dust program that gives young vulnerable boys and youth the chance to learn mountain biking and receive a bike to practice the sport after the weekend camp ends.

The program began

in 2012 and has seen 55 young people go through it.

It’s open to males age 14 to 25 who are impacted by substance use, have no access to organized sports or who experience other challenges in their lives.

Instructor Peter Larose asked his students what they wanted to get out of the course and what causes they could support.

Almost half chose helping a cause that improves the lives of

marginalized people through recreation and sport.

Larose invited former student Ted Morton, a member of the Kamloops Bike Riders Association that partners with the centre to provide the camp, to speak to the students.

Morton is the lead coach at the camp and, after his presentation, the class decided to create the campaign.

The goal is to raise $5,000.

Those interested in learning more about

the campaign or to make contribution can do so online at ashestodust.causevoc. com.

Applications for the camp, which runs at the Juniper Bike Ranch on Sept. 8 and Sept. 9, are being accepted.

Forms can be completed at phoenixcentre.org/ashes-nominate-youth.

They must be completed by an adult who can be a point of contact and provide support to the youth through to the camp.

Jail and Bail back April 20 Kamloops RCMP and the United Way ThompsonNicola-Cariboo are teaming up for the fifth annual Jail and Bail fundraiser on April 20.

Since its creation, the event, DALE BASS which sees Kamloopsians with enough friends to donate money to help pay their bail, has raised more than $300,000 the United Way has used for programs and organizations that assist children and youth and promote stronger communities.

“Policing a community is all about forming partnerships. Our partnership with United Way has been so important to us and has been instrumental in allowing us the opportunity to give back to the people of Kamloops and help make a difference in the lives of those that need it most,” said RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller.

“This event is a lot of fun but more importantly raises money that assists the United Way in providing hope and building futures. With a new date and a new location, we hope this year’s ‘spring round-up’ will be as successful as ever.”

KTW’s Dale Bass will be imprisoned during this year’s event. To contribute to hers or others release or for more information, go online to jailandbailkamloops.com.

THE MANY MONUMENTS OF MACEDONIA

The Art Bridge, a pedestrian walkway lined with statues, features 29 famous painters, sculptor, writers and philosophers.

RICK BUTLER PHOTO

BRIDGES, STATUES, ARCHITECTURE AWAIT IRENE BUTLER

FOR TRAVEL WRITERS’ TALES

A

more inviting city centre is hard to come by.

The Vardar River flows lazily through.

Folks mill about from early morning until the after-dark blaze of neon lights.

One side of the river holds a plethora of restaurants and cafes; the other side boasts a museum, national theatre and government buildings in neoclassical and baroque style.

And here, there and everywhere are stunning monuments of historic figures and national heroes.

I am amazed to learn most of these edifices and statues have been constructed as part of an urban renewal project dubbed Skopje 2014, only officially announced in 2010.

All the statues are impressive, but the one of Philip II of Macedon is outstanding.

Towering above in gleaming bronze with his fist raised, I envision him mouthing a phrase attributed to him, “Divide and conquer.”

And he did just that — being the first to conquer the Greek states and later uniting them.

He was king of Macedon from 359BC until his assassination in 336BC, when his son Alexander the Great continued his mission for empire building in the worthiest of manners.

Across the river in Macedonia Square (Ploštad Makedonija), an eightstorey monument dwarfs its surroundings.

“Alexander the Great,” is offered by locals, as we stand mesmerized by a heroic figure perched on a rearing steed atop a gigantic fountain with soldiers and lions around its base.

Two bridges cross the Vardar from this central area.

The showy Art Bridge is a pedestrian walkway lined with statues of famous painters, sculptors, writers and philosophers — 29 in total.

Within a stone’s throw is a second crossing — the Old Stone Bridge (Kameni Most) built on Roman foundations by the Ottoman in the late 15th century.

It leads us to aršija (Old Bazaar), where the Ottoman past lingers in architecture and colourful

market streets.

From here, my husband Rick and I climb a lengthy set of steps with bustling eateries built on platforms that jut out from the hillside.

The jovial mood of the customers is catchy and our resistance to the tantalizing aromas lasts but a minute.

We are soon feasting on a delectable bean, onion and dried red pepper dish served in the earthenware bowl in which it was baked.

Fortified for the remaining climb, we reach the Kale Fortress, originally built on a hilltop in the 6th century by the Byzantine rulers of the day.

Some towers and walls have been restored, while others remain in the crumbled state of battles once fought.

From the fortress cliff, although the day is misty,

we are eye-to-eye with the Millennium Cross.

This 66-metre (217 ft.) high cross was erected on Vodno Mountain in 2001, for the 2000th Anniversary of Christianity in Macedonia and the world.

At night, it is illuminated with 20,000 light bulbs.

Another day, we seek out the triumphal arch, Porta Macedonia, completed in 2012 to commemorate 20 years of independence from the former Yugoslavia, the newly formed country taking the name Republic of Macedonia.

However, neighbouring Greece objected to this name usage, also having a region named Macedonia, hence in 1993, the new nation gained UN admission under the ‘provisional’ title — Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM).

The issue remains unre-

solved and hopefully the two countries will someday agree on how to share the name.

Leaving the arch behind, our mission is to locate a small museum, built on the birth home of Mother Teresa, now a canonized saint.

We follow this ethnic Albanian’s life journey from precocious child to tenacious nun who dedicated her life to the most destitute.

clock that remains at the time it stopped at 5:17 a.m. on July 26, 1963, when the catastrophic earthquake struck.

Eighty per cent of the city was destroyed, more than 1,000 people died, thousands were injured and 200,000 were left homeless.

Part of the exterior has been left in its ruined state; the interior houses the Museum of the City of Macedonia.

Our relaxed wanderings through Skopje were akin to a walk through history, showcasing the rich blend of cultures that make up this country, enhanced by red-carpet treatment shown to us by its citizens every step of the way.

FAITH

Confession is good for the soul of everybody

I

spent more than 25 years as a professional counsellor.

In individual sessions, many clients would confess secret, shameful things they had done and agonize over the guilt those actions caused.

One of the benefits of talking with a professional counsellor is that you can be fairly certain no one else will hear about it — it’s confidential and counsellors are bound by professional ethics to keep things private.

But my main concern was helping my clients heal, so I would “prescribe” specific acts they could do to ease their guilt to help them get out from under the oppressive burden of their “sins.”

It wasn’t enough to share the information — they had to do something concrete and meaningful to repair the damage.

For the most part, it worked well.

The Apostle James, the brother of Jesus, left a book of the Bible that is full of practical advice for believers.

In it, he writes “. . . confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.

The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.”

This is a directive,

CHRIS KEMPLING

You Gotta Have

FAITH

not a suggestion.

I honestly can’t remember in my Protestant days, however, that any expectation of confession “to each other” was mandated as confessing to God/Jesus alone was considered sufficient.

It is a very important aspect of Catholic practice, though.

Confession can be to another believer (not necessarily a priest or pastor).

Nevertheless, there is an expectation the person to whom you confess will pray for you “so that you may be healed.”

The context of the next sentence, however, strongly suggests the character and spiritual quality of the person who is praying for you is pretty important.

It implies that when you confess, it should be to a “righteous” person, one whose prayers are

“powerful and effective.”

Essentially, confession is about accountability to a more mature believer who can help restore you to a right relationship with God. Confessing to God is important, but if we want to walk in purity, we need to share our burdens with another believer who is strong in the faith.

When I was a counsellor, I would often ask people if they had shared their problem/issue with a close friend or relative.

Frequently, they would respond: “They couldn’t really handle what I just told you.”

Sometimes they were justifiably worried their confession would irreparably damage an important relationship and did not want to risk that.

I read of an engaged young woman who confessed to her fiancé that she had cheated on him with many men when she was extremely drunk.

That was the end of their relationship.

In any event, when you are confessing something awful, it should be to someone you are reasonably sure can handle the awfulness of it.

And there can be considerable healing just listening to the

Letter to the editor

WHO SAID THESE WORDS? Editor: The April 8 Faith column by Narayan Mitra (‘Politics and the end-oflife dilemma debate’) has gone too far.

This particular column dares to quote some United Nations leaders as having called for “the necessity of erasing traditional concepts of morality in order to condition the populace for acceptance of control of human destiny by the state.”

The fact Mitra has deliberately quoted the statement implies he has a source for such an outrageous premise, yet that quote can only be found online as belonging to his column.

I find this statement to be a fullblown conspiracy theory.

Frankly, KTW really needs to reconsider publishing a column that not only offends many with its religious zealotry, but now seems to be wandering into

the dark corners of the conspiracytheory world.

If KTW is going to continue publishing this column, I suggest measures are taken to ensure the author backs up outrageous statements such as this with sources.

Mitra is happy to quote the Bible, chapter and verse, but not a ridiculous claim about the United Nations.

Expressing an opinion about religion is one thing, but asserting a “fact” with absolutely no backup is quite another.

If Mitra wishes to produce his source for this comment, I would be happy to be so informed.

Otherwise, KTW should stop giving space to a conspiracy theorist.

Diane McLeod Kamloops

powerful prayers of someone who walks closely with God. Private confession is a concept spread throughout Europe after the seventh century by missionary Irish priests and monks.

In the early church, public confessions were expected, as well as extensive acts of penance, before someone could be admitted as a full member to the church.

There are many beneficial aspects to confession.

The psychological burden of guilt and shame can have serious debilitating effects.

People sometimes try to “anesthetize” this guilt by drug or alcohol abuse. I ran into this a lot in my private practice.

Confession allows a clearing of the air.

David writes in

Psalm 32: “When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long . . . then I acknowledged my sin to you . . . and you forgave the guilt of my sin.”

There can be serious consequences — spiritual, psychological, relational and physical — to covering things up.

One of the things I expected of my clients is they be prepared to do something, often symbolic, to deal with what they had confessed.

In Catholic practice, this is called penance, and it can include specific acts of contrition, charitable acts,or making amends to an individual.

In Alcoholics Anonymous, step 5 involves confession, and steps 8 and 9 involve making things right with whomever

we have harmed by our actions.

But sometimes it isn’t possible to make amends directly — the person offended has died or court order prevents contact.

In those cases, I prescribed symbolic penances.

For example, for someone who betrayed a deceased parent, I would ask them to read a letter of confession at the gravesite in the presence of witnesses, then burn it, symbolically transmitting it to

the spiritual realm.

Confession is an act of spiritual and psychological purification.

We all do better as human beings when we are not burdened by guilt and shame.

KTW welcomes submissions to its Faith page.

Columns should be between 600 and 800 words in length and can be emailed to editor@ kamloopsthisweek.com.

Answers

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.

The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
