amloops is on the northern fringe of monarch butterfly habitat, but planting is worth the effort for the chance to see the emergence of the rare and endangered insect, experts say. The David Suzuki Foundation is encouraging Canadians to plant milkweed to support monarchs. It is the only plant on which the butterfly will lay its eggs. Local naturalist Frank Ritcey has seen occurrences on the dike trail in the vicinity of Kamloops Airport and Cinnamon Ridge, which is home to naturally occurring milkweed. “I applaud the idea,” he said of planting milkweed. “But it’s not just what happens here.” The butterfly makes a multi-generational journey north from Mexico to the northern United States and into southern B.C. It is occasionally seen in the Kamloops area. “My understanding is we’re right on the northern tip,” Ritcey said. Kevin Scollon, co-ordinator of Thompson Rivers University’s horticulture program, said he’s seen only five or so monarchs in Kamloops. He said milkweed that occurs naturally here is showy milkweed, which is a natural home for monarch butterflies. The university may look at planting some showy milkweed on campus. Bev Leighton, who works at the Art Knapp information desk, said it’s common for customers to come in looking to plant milkweed in hopes of attracting the butterfly. Demand is so high the plants could not be obtained from a wholesaler this year, so the nursery cultivated its own. The milkweed plants are expected to be available in a few weeks. “A lot of people are asking,” she said. “It is the food of choice for monarchs.”

Ready for hens in the ‘hood? CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

While prospective urban farmers shouldn’t count their chickens before they’re hatched, it appears Kamloops council is lined up to support a bylaw that would allow hens in city backyards. Only two members of council, including Mayor Peter Milobar, spoke out yesterday against a proposed bylaw drawn up by city planners. In fact, most councillors said the rules are too restrictive and asked staff to come back with a better plan. Staff is recommending two hens be allowed on lots as small

as 4,000 square feet. Coops would have to be three metres from the dwelling house and lot lines and an electric fence is needed to deter predators. “It’s too restrictive,” complained Coun. Dennis Walsh. “I’m more for six chickens than reducing it to two.” Using the feedback from a special workshop at city hall, planners will come back with a revised document for recommendation to council. If it adopts a new bylaw allowing urban hens, the city will follow Vancouver, Saanich, Williams Lake, Terrace and Vernon in embracing the birds on urban lots.

Under current rules, only property owners sitting on more than one acre — about 1,100 lots — are allowed to raise chickens. If the proposed 4,000-squarefoot minimum is adopted by council, that will jump to 22,000 properties. “You’re going from zero to 90,” Coun. Ken Christian said. “There are farm families producing eggs. There’s not an egg shortage in Kamloops.” Christian said diseases including salmonella can result from poor hygiene and handling. “If those don’t get you, the kid will trip into the electric fence,” he said.

The heat is on — but no flood threat TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Despite record-high temperatures forecast for B.C.’s Interior this week — including the mercury expected to hit 31 C in Kamloops today — there are no streamflow or flood warnings on the books anywhere in the province. Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations public-affairs officer Greig Bethel told KTW snowpacks in the North and South Thompson basins were at

112 and 113 per cent of normal at the start of April, but that hasn’t translated into increased flood risk. Because of warm weather throughout winter, Bethel said, low- to mid-elevation packs across B.C. are down significantly this spring. Overall, the province’s snowpacks were 91 per cent of normal on April 1, but just 62 per cent below 1,200 metres and 44 per cent below 1,000 metres. Bethel said the transition from snow accumulation to snow melt is about three weeks

ahead this spring, noting seasonal runoff forecasts are near normal for most B.C. basins. Near-normal snowpack indicates normal seasonal flood risk, he said. Bethel said warm temperatures, winter melt and rain have increased streamflow for the time of year for most rivers in B.C. He said snowpack is just one element when it comes to flood risk. Rain can also have a significant impact on risks for peak flows.

Get ready for higher rec-user fees CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The cost of swimming, playing soccer or doing almost any organized activity in city facilities may jump by double-digit amounts over the next five years. Parks and recreation management asked Kamloops council yesterday to adopt a rate hike of 12 per cent over five years, beginning next year. But a number of councillors, led by Coun. Tina Lange, said the number should be 15 per cent. That would come with a five per cent increase in fees every other year. While the city’s 2016 budget has yet to be approved or even voted on, most councillors at yesterday’s workshop agreed with increasing user fees. The city looks to recover 50 per cent overall from the cost of operating its rinks, pools, sports fields and meeting rooms.

Byron McCorkell, director of parks, recreation and cultural services, said it is meeting that target and is nearly at 52 per cent cost recovery through user fees. Individually, the Tournament Capital Centre and Sandman Centre are at about 80 per cent cost recovery. On the lowest end, Westsyde Pool and stadiums are at about 20 per cent cost recovery. Increases for user groups has been dramatic over the past decade. In 2005, the Kamloops Youth Soccer Association paid the city $15,000 a year to use city fields; today, it pays $225,000. “Taxpayers keep telling us they want user pay,” said Lange, who moved a recommendation to push the increase to 15 per cent over five years. That would be levied on everything from pool passes to rates the city charges for minor baseball. “Five per cent [every two years] is negligible, hopefully,” she said. Coun. Donavan Cavers spoke against

the move, saying any inflationary costs should be paid through general taxation. “I’d rather freeze fees for now,” he said. Councillors will vote at a later meeting whether to approve the hikes and by how much. McCorkell also presented a number of other longer-term ways to increase revenues for the department: • court fees for pickleball and tennis; • event parking fees (ie. home show, gun show); • boat launching fees; • parking fees at Tournament Capital Centre. Several members of council, including Mayor Peter Milobar, said staff will need to look closely at costs of collection. Charging for event parking at MacArthur Island, Milobar said, “would be a nightmare for a few times a year. “It would just push people from the home show into the neighbourhood.”

parameter to convict me. “There was plenty of evidence to support accident, medical reasoning, vertigo, blackout, fainting, temperature sensitivity. There was plenty of evidence to suggest it could have been suicide. “So, before a jury could even come to the conclusion it was homicide, they had to first discard the idea that it was medical, accidental or suicide.” Jury deliberations are secret. There is no way to know which way the majority of Beckett’s jurors were leaning when they came back hung. Beckett told KTW he thinks justice officials are out to get him, all at the urging of his deceased wife’s family. “There’s nothing wrong with the law,” he said, speculating that a juror was planted in order to prevent an acquittal. “I’m not blaming the law for this kangaroo court. It’s only the actors, and that’s what they are — actors.” Beckett, who is still wearing his wedding ring nearly six years after his wife’s death, said he looks forward to a new trial.

“I want to go back to trial,” he said. “I want to save my wife’s legacy — and mine.” Beckett has spent more than four years in jail since his 2011 arrest. He said the time behind bars is just part of clearing his name. “It’s not as hard as what my father, my grandfathers, endured in the war,” he said. “And, looking over myself, this has to be done, not just for the benefit of my wife, but for shaking the crap out of the judicial system in B.C.” Beckett and LettsBeckett met in 1995 in New Zealand. Five years later, he moved to Westlock, Alta., to be closer to her. The couple married in 2003. A number of Crown witnesses have described their relationship as a rocky one, but a defence witness called the couple “lovebirds.” The Becketts separated in late 2007, but reconciled six weeks later. Letts-Beckett also went to police in 2007 alleging physical abuse on the part of her husband, but no charges were laid. Beckett was formerly a city councillor in Napier, New Zealand.

“There’s

nothing wrong with the law. I’m not blaming the law for this kangaroo court. It’s only the actors, and that’s what they are — actors.

Beckett was charged with murder a year later. At his trial, which spanned three months before wrapping up last week with no decision, the Crown alleged Beckett killed his wife out of greed, hoping to cash in on life-insurance and accidentaldeath benefits. Beckett, meanwhile, maintained LettsBeckett’s death was either an accident or a suicide. Letts-Beckett had previously had suicidal thoughts, as jurors saw in a 2007 diary entry. Letts-Beckett drowned after going into the water while on an evening boat ride with her husband. She was not wearing a life jacket and was not a strong swimmer. A week after they were sent out to deliberate, Beckett’s jury returned hung on April 12. In a note passed to the judge, the jury foreperson said the impasse was the result of “one dissenting voice.” Beckett told KTW he believes the jury was voting 11-1 in favour of his acquittal. “I know that for a fact,” he said. “There is no way that there was any legal

While some councillors said an electric fence is overkill, Christian said without it, in Juniper Ridge where he lives, for example, “it will be a smorgasbord for coyotes and bears.” But after years of debate and at least one failed attempt, council does appear ready to adopt a bylaw that would allow hens.

STAFF REPORTER

Thompson Rivers University isn’t interested in taking over Stuart Wood elementary when it closes this summer. TRU vice-president finance Matt Milovick said if the city can find tenants and needs help filling some of the space in the downtown heritage building, TRU will do what it can to help, but it doesn’t want the “responsibility and obligations for the building.” Milovick said assuming responsibility for Stuart Wood has never been in the university’s long-term plans, but it stepped up to see if it could help the city maintain ownership and continue to use the building. The longtime school is being vacated after this school year ends. Due to an agreement made between the city and province

more than a century ago, ownership would revert to the provincial government if the site is not maintained for educational purposes. City of Kamloops CAO David Trawin said discussions are ongoing with the province on the definition of educational purposes because various other ideas for the building have been considered, including perhaps moving the museum and archives into it. “Is that ‘educational’?” Trawin asked. “We don’t know.” The city has budgeted $40,000 for upkeep and grounds maintenance once the school district now using the site leaves, a date that is anticipated to be mid-August, Trawin said. Stuart Wood sits on land bordered by Battle Street to the south, St. Paul Street to the north, Third Avenue to the east and Memorial Hill Park Cenotaph to the west. A report to city council in

February indicated the building needs work in the basement, but otherwise has no major structural concerns. The cost could increase, however, depending on upgrades needed by any potential tenants since the historic building does not meet current building-code requirements. The Kamloops-Thompson board of education is moving students and staff at Stuart Wood to Beattie elementary on McGill Road for the 2016-2017 school year. Trustees decided in June 2014 to close Stuart Wood due to deficiencies in the building, including a gym too small for an elementary school, a third floor that cannot be used and bathrooms only in the basement and not wheelchairaccessible. In addition, the building is not equipped to provide technological opportunities offered in other schools.

Emergency declaration welcomed FRONTLINE WORKERS CALL FOR MORE TO PREVENT OVERDOSE DEATHS DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Bob Hughes welcomes the decision by the province’s chief medical health officer to declare a public health emergency due to the number of illicit drug-related deaths in the province. “We’ve been pulling the fire alarm for about six, eight months now,” Hughes said of the realization there have been 11 such deaths in three months in Kamloops. And, while he lauds the decision, the executive director of ASK (AIDS Society of Kamloops) Wellness said he would like to see the provincial and federal governments take stronger steps to develop ways for people to test illicit drugs before using them. Strip tests exist for some, Hughes said, but not for fentanyl, an opiate that has been linked to an increasing number of overdoses and deaths in the past year, including five so far in Kamloops this year. “The approach with harm reduction is

we’re pursuing everything after the fact, after the overdose,” Hughes said. Dr. Silvina Mema, a medical officer of health with the Interior Health Authority, said providing that kind of immediate testing would be good, but there are many barriers to doing it, including the lack of a test for fentanyl. Mema said the IHA is looking at how to provide the additional data being collected following last week’s declaration by Dr. Perry Kendall, the province’s chief medical health officer. That information is being collected now, but not provided to various players across the justice and health-care systems. A new electronic medical record system at Royal Inland Hospital will help, Mema said, as it sees information formerly recorded with pen and paper now being entered into a computer system. Having more information in a real-time manner, as Kendall has directed, can trigger action more efficiently, Mema said.

Trends, hot spots and other data not available in a timely fashion now can lead to additional services being put into place or a focus on awareness initiated. Among harm-reduction measures is Naloxone, a drug that can be used to reverse an opioid overdose. Dr. Ian Mitchell is involved in a program to provide take-home Naloxone kits through the emergency department at RIH. He called Kendall’s announcement a good step forward. “An overdose registry has been what many organizations have been seeking,” Mitchell said. He noted the U.S. is ahead of B.C. in overdose-data collection. “But B.C. has been taking some very progressive steps in the response to this opiate epidemic, including the new availability of over-the-counter Naloxone from B.C. pharmacies,” Mitchell said. “I would hope to see this data collected on a national basis in the future as part of a response to the fentanyl crisis, plus the emerging synthetic drug market.”

The sentencing of Andrew McKay, former director of graduate studies at Thompson Rivers University, has again been delayed. McKay is charged with one count of possession of child pornography. He was to be sentenced in Vernon provincial court on April 12, but Judge Mayland McKimm agreed to an adjournment. Both Crown prosecutor Evan Goulet and defence lawyer Shawn Buckley were to join the proceedings in Vernon via telephone, but Buckley was unavailable as he was tied up with a jury trial in Alberta. His representative, Geneviève Eliany, said there could be a con-

tested sentencing or a withdrawal of McKay’s guilty plea based on a development regarding evidence. Goulet explained that when he was describing the child porn material in question during a sentencing hearing in Salmon Arm in January, Buckley interrupted and said he hadn’t seen or heard about some of the material. However, Goulet said he had emailed Buckley prior to McKay entering a guilty plea, laying out exactly what material he would be presenting. The January sentencing was then adjourned so the lawyers could sort out the evidence. Goulet told McKimm last week

ANDREW MCKAY

he hasn’t been able to speak to Buckley, but he expects the sentencing hearing would be short, with one or two witnesses and possibly one more piece of material. McKimm directed the court to meet with the judicial case manager to set aside a half-day in Kamloops for the sentencing hearing. About two weeks to

a month before it takes place, McKimm wants Crown and defence counsel to hold a pretrial conference via telephone to confirm both sides are ready to proceed. He said he wants the hearing to be scheduled for the end of May or early June at the latest, noting he is not prepared to wait indefinitely for Buckley’s return. “Mr. McKay is entitled to have the sentencing sooner than later,” McKimm said. In August 2015, McKay changed his plea from not guilty to guilty. On May 12, 2014, in Kamloops, McKay was found in the possession of child pornography in the form of images.

Trio rescued from night in bush Rescue crews were sent to a trail near Lac le Jeune yesterday to aid a trio of off-roaders after their truck got stuck on a weekend excursion. Just before 8 a.m., police received a call from the group of men saying they had been off-roading in the area the previous evening when they got stuck. “The men were unable to get their truck out and spent the night in their vehicle,” RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said. An RCMP helicopter found the men about six kilometres from Lac le Jeune but was not able to land on the rough terrain. Search and rescue crews were then dispatched on ATVs. Shelkie said the men are not injured.

Report questions Ajax’s viability CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A mining industry watchdog claims a review of finances for the proposed Ajax mine shows the project is economically marginal and could leave taxpayers at risk. MiningWatch Canada issued a report yesterday calling the mine “an unconscionable risk to investors, governments and the public.” It recommends investigation by the B.C. Securities Commission for what it calls

inadequate consideration of risk and costs. The report was authored by MiningWatch co-founder Joan Kuyek. She alleges majority owner KGHM Ajax overestimated longterm copper prices and lowballed its own costs by as much as $300 million. The organization has been critical of the Ajax proposal, recently bringing a resident to Kamloops from Malarctic, Que., which has experienced severe problems from a mine next door.

KGHM Ajax’s own feasibility study issued in January forecast a 60 per cent increase in costs to build the open-pit mine, now set at $1.3 billion — a figure MiningWatch said is too low. “If it manages to go into production, we believe the owners will have real difficulty meeting their commitments, that the mine will be only intermittently operating and will be at risk of early closure — leaving the public and taxpayers to clean up the mess . . .” Kuyek states in the report.

Off to London to chat with the Queen One of the health-services directors at Royal Inland Hospital is off to Buckingham Palace next month — and yes, she will be meeting the queen. Sue Gardner-Clark, who joined the hospital in January after spending 18 years in the British navy, is receiving a medal making

her an associate member of the Royal Red Cross. The honour comes as a result of her contributions to naval nursing services, in particular projects she developed as the senior nurse advisor for emergency nursing in the navy. The presentation is scheduled for May 20.

Kamloops’ Sue Gardner-Clark will meet Queen Elizabeth on May 20.

RAISING A SKINK

Mikayla Cassidy (right) and Makiya Thistlethwaite get to know a skink during the weekend’s Reptile Show at the Big Little Science Centre. This weekend will showcase the Air Pressure Show, which takes place Saturday at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. The centre is in the former Happyvale elementary at 655 Holt St. on the North Shore.

Motorcycle season is here As the mercury continues to rise, police are reminding drivers of vehicles with two wheels and four to be aware of each other on local roads. Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said motorcycle season is upon us and drivers might need a reminder about the rules of the road. “Remember, motorcycles use a full lane — treat them like other vehicles when driving,” she said. “A motorcycle’s speed and distance can easily be misjudged by

drivers. Make sure you don’t pull out in front of or cut off a motorcycle.” Shelkie also had warnings for motorcyclists. “Motorcyclists can be safe by wearing approved helmets and highly visible protective gear,” she said. “As well, make sure you and your passengers are properly seated. Motorcycle riders and passengers must have their feet on the foot pegs or floorboards, or be properly seated in a sidecar.”

A SOLID SHOWING OF SOLIDARITY

udging from the tributes that have poured in, it’s clear Sarah Beckett had a positive impact on people, whether it was through her work as a constable with the RCMP or in other areas of her life. The support shown for her family, professional colleagues and friends by the West Shore community on Vancouver Island and far beyond has been nothing short of incredible. A group of sports car enthusiasts who wanted to raise $5,000 to help Const. Beckett’s family have seen their fund grow to more than $88,000. An estimated 1,500 people attended a candlelight walk in Langford. While public support has been broad in the wake of her death on April 5 in an early-hours crash, equally impressive is how the policing and emergency services communities quickly gathered in solidarity for Beckett’s personal and RCMP families at her regimental funeral. Such a public display of unity adds to the sadness many people feel at the loss of someone so young and vibrant in the prime of her life. While it was the kind of mass tribute one might expect for a head of state, it was a poignant and vivid illustration of the bond those charged with protecting us have with each other. The loss of a comrade reminds them of their own mortality and the reality of their sometimes dangerous occupation. When faced with that scenario, they rely on their extended “family” to get through the tough times. It’s a trait we can all take to heart.

KGHM drives into PR ditch

arlier this month, and for the first time in a while, the wellgreased machine that is the KGHM Ajax public-relations department drove straight into the ditch. It was actually a little refreshing to see such a public display of the ineptitude personified by a corporation floating the idea of putting an open-pit mine immediately next to the homes of 90,000 people. The most recent action taken by the company — walking away from negotiations on a community compensation agreement, is unbelievable. As has been pointed out, what was being discussed was not a “benefits agreement,” but an agreement that would attempt to compensate the community for adverse impacts that will occur if the project proceeds. These impacts include loss of residential growth areas in the southwest sector, possible infrastructure damage, loss of physicians, localized real-estate value dips, etc. KGHM messed up big time and I think project manager Clyde Gillespie and his crew have been let off far too easily for their dimwitted disregard for Kamloops. The move to walk away from discussions on an agreement (which, by the way, Gillespie continues to stand by) is actually an attempt to circumvent contributing anything to the local tax base. This same tax base collectively helps fund the parks, fields, sidewalks, roads, snow-clearing, planning department, pools, transit, bylaws, RCMP, fire protection, cemeteries, sewer, water, social agencies and arts and cultural

CITY HALL organizations we all enjoy and on which we depend. But don’t worry, Gillespie and his counterparts in Poland know best. They will appoint an advisory panel to decide where compensatory funds will be allocated. I wonder if the advisory board they appoint will be more into contributing to police or parks, sewer services or road upgrades? I sure hope their advisory panel is able to represent the community’s interests better than the democratically elected mayor and city councillors. The fact this type of move is even possible speaks volumes to how outdated the century-old BC Mines Act is. And with Bill Bennett in charge of the mines ministry, there’s little reason to believe things will improve any time in the foreseeable future. We can’t let the tailings pond breach at Mount Polley slip so easily from our memory. Anyone with a shred of honour would have immediately resigned as mines minister with an event like that happening on their watch but not Bennett. No, he takes decisive action and orders the company, Imperial Metals, to delivery a few pallets of

bottled water to nearby residents as Quesnel Lake is contaminated with 15-million cubic metres of contaminated water and tailings slurry. And where are our provincial MLAs in all of this? Noticeably absent. It is almost as if they’ve been told to “just stay out of it so we can get to yes.” Rather than relaying community concerns to Victoria, they are essentially missing in action. I’ve heard countless times that getting a meeting with either of them regarding Ajax is near impossible. Don’t get me wrong, it’s great to have two local MLAs with high-profile ministry portfolios — except when they forget about the community they are, first and foremost, supposed to be representing in Victoria on important local issues within provincial jurisdiction. To say that I’m frustrated with all of this is an understatement. For five years, people volunteering their time (because they love Kamloops) have been working tirelessly to buoy concerns above the deluge that is the slick pamphlets and relentless KGHM Ajax sponsorship campaigns. As an optimist, I can imagine this one day blowing over. For now, though, we can’t relent. We can’t sit back and celebrate successfully defending the community we call home. We can’t let our guard down with Polish mining giant KGHM huffing and puffing outside our door. Donovan Cavers is a Kamloops city councillor.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

[speak up]

THANKS, RIEL, FOR BLAZING FINE, DON’T MOVE HERE METIS TRAIL

AJAX

Editor: Re: The April 5 letter about the proposed Ajax mine from Shirley Galloway of Oxbow, Sask. (‘We wanted to move to Kamloops — before Ajax’): Galloway’s letter is the ultimate in hypocrisy and blatant misrepresentation of the facts. She is the owner of SafeTee Management, operating in health and safety. What she does not mention is the fact 80 per cent of her revenue is generated from mining and oilfield companies, some operating controversial high-grade, toxic uranium

in northern Saskatchewan. She also contracts to oilfield companies in the Bakken oil formation, where highly controversial shale fracking is taking place. On average, one worker is killed every six weeks in the Bakken oilfield. The Lac Megantic train disaster, in which 47 people died, was carrying Bakken oil, high in H2S, which is the suspected cause of the disaster. Galloway apparently has no qualms about sending her employees to these highly dangerous and controversial sites. She actually brags about it on her website. She now has the gall to criticize Ajax

from thousands of kilometres away? I have spent more than 50 years in the mining industry and believe Ajax will be very safely run with no effects whatsoever on Kamloops. Situated where it is, very few people will even be aware of its existence except for the people working there . A word of advice for Galloway. She should stay where she is in Oxbow, Sask., and concentrate on making oil fracking safer for everyone, including her employees. Kamloops does not need Galloway. Dennis Dornan Kamloops

Editor: From teaching, mentoring and family, we have been taught that when voice and the democratic process heed a warning, those we elect need to pay attention and listen. Any continued thought of KGHM Ajax moving to near our city is deserving of a total push by all with health and environmental concerns, as well all by professional scientists who have stated our lives will be affected. Dr. Douw Steyn (profes-

sor 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. Voice has been present since Day 1 of this proposal

and many have stepped forth and drawn a the line in sand, collectively. We all truly hope that common sense prevails and that KGHM Ajax finds another spot far from Kamloops to do its mining. Let’s take a deep breath, sit with our First Nations leaders and elders and listen to their teachings about preserving our health and environment.

Editor: Hello, Mr. Riel: You don’t know me, but I have read about you and I have heard a lot about you. I am Métis, but not from the same generation as you. However, you will be pleased to know your battle for Métis rights in the 1800s has been partially won on April 14, 2016. All of my Métis

friends, family and acquaintances know you fought the good fight even though there has been controversy. It is because of you and all of our ancestors and leaders who believed in the cause that my generation and my children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren will now have rights. Shirley Goulet Kamloops

WOULD LEGALIZATION COMMON SENSE MUST PREVAIL BRING AN END TO GANG BLOODSHED?

Editor: I see on the news that there was another gang shooting in Surrey. This time the wrong house was shot up. I forget how many millions have just been added to fight the drug wars, but there is only one way to stop them — the same way prohibition was halted.

If you haven’t heard about the prohibition era in the U.S., look it up. Remember, if we don’t learn from history, history will repeat itself. The cartels, dealers, pushers, etc. cannot be defeated. There is too much money involved. Don Hoover Kamloops

Seriously, I deserve a pat on the back. When I got ready for this week’s session, I could feel a cold settling in. My throat hurt and I had a mild headache, but did I put away my running gear and stay home? No, I did not. I know only too well the opening question of each session: “What’s the hardest part of RUNclub?” And we all chime in: “Getting there!” So, I took an extra-strength Tylenol and I got there. (Don’t judge me. I wouldn’t have gone if I had been really sick.) My reward? Our group’s coach for a hilly trail run was Chris “I love to run 50 miles at one time” Larouche. And his partner in crime was my old pal Coach Terry Lowe, who takes particular pleasure in making sure our 10K Bold group gets a workout. This duo, combined with a trail run — my least favourite surface — was not going to be good. Surprising, though, if I must be honest, it was good. Too fast, of course, but exhilarating. Trails are horrible when I am doing them, but afterwards, when I haven’t tumbled down a hillside or met a bear, I feel like a survivor. Kelly Hall did say I ran right by a big bear. He was lying, but I forgave him because he came back like a true RUNclubber, so I didn’t have to run alone on a scary part. Yes, I continue to run well at the back of the pack. However, there’s a bright side. I never have to do a pick-up. By the way, see you at Boogie on Sunday.

GROUP GOAL WARM-UP PLAYWORK

KATHY ELLIOTT London Drugs department manager

I love my RUNClub. The conversations are priceless, from where to buy a good sports bra to where to clip your keys when you’re running. Our Monday night run starts out in Valleyview. I thought running was hard, but trying to stay vertical in the hurricane-force winds was a challenge. I was a little bit relieved to hear some of the ladies felt two-minute run intervals were a little hard, so Jo decided we would do a two-minute run/three-minute walk four times and a one-minute run/three-minute walk four times. I thought it was oh so much easier — until I saw the hill. As we conquered the hill, I had so many questions for Coach Tracy and Coach Jill: Can you run in the winter? What’s the best surface to run on? Of course, they had the answers to all my questions, including the great tips to buying a running bra. It’s important to have the girls locked in. So, if you’re one of those people who say you can’t run, you’re so wrong. These ladies are such an inspiration to all. They will motivate you, make you laugh and make you feel good about moving. As a first-time participant in RUNClubplus, I would highly recommended you try this. You don’t need any fancy equipment — just a good pair of runners. This is a wonderful program with great energy, so stop thinking about it and register for the next RUNClub-plus. It starts on May 16 and runs to July 4. See you all at Boogie!

KATHY SINCLAIR Kamloops Arts Council ED

Coming toward me across the south end of Overlanders Bridge, walking slowly with the assistance of forearm crutches, she stood out among the throng of people. It was Boogie the Bridge 2014, my first time doing the event. I ran the 10K, the first 10K of my life. And I was tired. My throat tightened when I saw this woman and I fought back a tear. I didn’t know her, but clearly, for her, walking was a challenge. Yet she joined thousands of us in this celebration of movement and community health. I was almost finished the course. She was just at the beginning. She moved at a snail’s pace, but she kept going. What would I say to her as I passed? The usual platitudes passed through my mind: You’re an inspiration. You’re amazing. Then she was in front of me. Our eyes met. I took a deep breath, ready to speak. But she beat me to it. “You’re doing a great job!” she shouted. It was a moment that, to me, encapsulated what Boogie the Bridge is all about. Some of us run marathons. Some of us walk. Some of us wheel. Some of us have physical limitations. Some of us, as Margaret Trudeau recently shared with a Kamloops crowd, are fighting challenges that can’t be seen. We’re all just people and we can all cheer each other on. Having you watch my training progress through this column has been a huge motivator during the weeks I just wasn’t sure I would make it. But training is complete. Thank you. See you at Boogie on April 24!

RUNNING COMMENTARY with Jo Berry

Yes, movement is change for the better

oogie is five sleeps away. It’s exciting and touching to see how much Boogie has grown and to see our mantra — Movement is Change — impact a community. Movement is Change means movement in all spheres: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. We all know movement creates a change — a positive change — and our Boogie team is passionate about sharing this important message and changing lives. This past year, I have heard two high-profile speakers talk of movement as a powerful antidote for healthy mental health and advocating to reduce the social stigma of mental illness. It was Clara Hughes this past winter and Margaret Trudeau last week. Listening to Margaret, I had tears running (actually pouring) down my face, the kind of tears you can’t stop, the kind of tears that come on so strong, you can’t control them and did not expect them. Her mesmerizing presentation was potent to me and rang close to home. Margaret was describing my mother. Memories flooded in and I could see my mom as clearly as though I could reach out and touch her. I knew my mom had experienced similar episodes Margaret so vividly painted for us. There was humour, too, and laughter, also resonating strongly with me. My mom was a fun, lovely and kind human being, but she never had the life-saving opportunity of a proper diagnosis and support. We lost her in 1999. Alongside the immense grief I was experiencing, I began to connect the dots between depression and the powerful message of getting outdoors. Yes, movement is change. Yes, Boogie started that same year. In 1999, I also felt the stigma. As I started to deliver the message, I was often described as being “a little weird” or “eccentric” or “ hippy-like.” Yet, in my heart, I knew I needed to be courageous. I knew movement helped people become happier, healthier and live a better and more productive life. I went to university, studied and learned about mental health and addiction. Skip forward to 2016. High-profile celebrities are helping the world see our mental health is extremely important and needs the proper care and attention (without being stigmatized). So, this Sunday, when we are all in red and standing at the Boogie start line, let’s celebrate healthy living and community. When you cross the finish line, kick up your heels, give a high five and notice how amazing you feel. Boogie is about living a big, fun, healthy and happy life. Inside. I will be feeling my mom and thankful she continues to teach me how important it is to be brave and speak out. See you at the start line!

Arrest after weapons complaint A 26-year-old Kamloops man is facing several charges following an incident on the Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve Saturday night in which a gun was allegedly fired and several people threatened. Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said officers received a call at 8:30 p.m. about a man with a firearm. “He had allegedly fired it off and was also making threats to harm himself and others,” Bush said. Officers went to his last-known location — a home on Kootenay Way — and eventually found the suspect at a home on nearby West Shuswap Road, where he was arrested with the help of the Air4 police helicopter, a police tracking dog

Police Beat

BRIEFS and the emergencyresponse team. Bush said a firearm believed to be connected to the man and the incident was found in the West Shuswap Road home. There were no injuries reported from the incident. The man remains in custody with multiple firearms- and threatrelated charges pending.

Police forums begin tonight

Kamloops Mounties are set to hold a pair of community forums this week seeking public feedback on policing. The meetings will

take place tonight at McArthur Island Lounge and Thursday at the Hal Rogers Centre in Albert McGowan Park in Sahali, both running from 7 p.m. until 8:30 p.m.

Alexa’s Bus gets nine drivers off the road

Kamloops Mounties made significant use of a special tool they had at their disposal over the weekend aimed at keeping drunk drivers off of local roads. Alexa’s Bus was in the Tournament Capital for roadblocks on Friday and Saturday nights. Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said approximately 2,000 vehicles were stopped over the two nights.

Of those stops, 16 drivers were required to provide breath samples. Five 90-day driving bans were doled out, as well as four 24-hour suspensions. Police made five drug seizures, wrote 24 violation tickets and issued three other notices to drivers. Alexa’s Bus is a mobile impaired-driving testing unit. It is a legacy to Alexa Middelaer, a fouryear-old girl who died in May 2008 when a vehicle driven by Carol Berner left the road and hit Alexa and her aunt, who were feeding horses in Delta. Berner, whose vehicle was travelling at 91 km/h in a 50 km/h zone, was later convicted of impaired driving causing death and dangerous driving.

Columbia Dental is proud to celebrate their 25th anniversary of servicing Kamloops and the surrounding areas for their general dental health needs. Dr. Cabael and her friendly staff wish to thank all those individuals and families who have supported them through the years by trusting them with their oral health care needs. In honour of April’s Dental Health Month, Columbia Dental wishes to give back by continuing to offer gentle and caring dentistry to new and existing patients along with complimentary screenings to the general public with speciﬁc concerns.

KTW garners national writing awards Kamloops This Week has once again been honoured by its peers. Competing against journalists from across the country in the largest circulation class, two KTW reporters — Jessica Wallace and Cam Fortems — have won Canadian Community Newspaper Association awards for features they wrote last year. Wallace placed first nationally in the Best Feature Series category with her multi-edition Food for Thought series, in which she assumed the persona of a client of the Kamloops Food Bank

and wrote of her experiences, and of others who rely on the agency. Fortems placed third nationally in the Best Environmental Writing category with his Saving Tranquille Creek story detailing efforts to rehabilitate the waterway north of the city. Meanwhile, for the third consecutive year, Kamloops This Week has been named one of three finalists for newspaper of the year in the largest community newspaper circulation category in B.C. and the Yukon. KTW, which publishes three times a

week and is delivered to more than 30,000 households, is up against the Vernon Morning Star and the Vancouver Courier in the 2016 B.C. and Yukon Community Newspaper Association Ma Murray Awards, which will be handed out in Richmond on May 7. Kamloops This Week was named newspaper of the year in B.C. and the Yukon in each of the past two years and

was named newspaper of the year in Canada in 2014 by the Canadian Community Newspaper Association. In addition, KTW reporter Adam Williams is a finalist this year in the Sports Writing category for his feature on Kamloops sports legend Bob Davoren, The Davoren Legacy. The other two finalists are Gary Ahuja of the Langley Times and Graeme Wood of the Richmond News.

‘You can’t take it with you’ — so couple gives to hospital DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

When Jim McMillan woke up on Friday and stepped out of his bedroom, all he could smell were flowers. “You have no idea how big it was,” the philanthropist told a crowd at Royal Inland Hospital of the floral display the RIH Foundation sent McMillan and wife Sheila. The gift was part of a big thank you for donating money to help create a new procedure room in diagnostic services. McMillan gave a laughing credit to the late finance minister Jim Flaherty, who urged more Canadian investment in Canadian companies as Chinese interests were looking to firms north of the 49th. Long story short, it led to a battle for Noranda, a mining company in which the

McMillans had purchased 8,000 shares. The value of the Noranda shares grew exponentially in the takeover bid and McMillan decided to spread the wealth, giving the RIH Foundation 1,000 shares, handing over an equal amount to B.C. Children’s Hospital and distributing some to the Shriners and other charities. Those RIH shares were worth $625,000. “I know how to make money,” McMillan told the group gathered in the renovated room at the hospital. “And I know the best thing when you have money is to give it away. You can’t take it with you, something I’m well aware of.” McMillan turns 86 next week. Dr. Vipal Vedd, head of the RIH’s radiology department, said the new room will have an impact not only on the ability to provide diagnostic services, but

in the wait list for those procedures. Formerly a storage room, it’s now a well-lit open space where biopsies will be done on thyroids, prostates, breasts and, perhaps in the future, kidneys and livers. Diagnostic ultrasounds will be done there as well, all leading to a shorter wait list for procedures like cardiac ultrasound, Vedd told the crowd. Kim Perris, an Interior Health Authority health-service director in diagnostic-imaging operations, said the new room provides more space to move stretchers, to reposition machinery and to store needed supplies and materials. Vedd said the wider space is a big benefit. “We’re using sharp needles in here and you don’t want to be stepping on other toes,” Vedd said. “It all leads to better patient care.”

ith the sun setting between two mountain peaks on a picturesque lake near Whitehorse, Eva Davies and Brooklyn Castro must have felt like they were skating on top of the world. Davies, director of skating at Valleyview Skating Club, and Castro, a 13-year-old club member, were selected to be part of a documentary movie celebrating 150 years of Canadian confederation that will be shown across the nation next year, part of the sesquicentennial (SESQUI) interactive media touring festival. “It’s once in a lifetime and it’s just amazing that Brooklyn and I can be a part of that and even inspire other skaters in our club,” Davies said. “That two girls from Kamloops can be a part of the film is kind of neat.” The duet was flown to Whitehorse on March 25 and whisked off to Fish Lake, where they took snowmobiles to the remote filming location. “I was like, ‘This is real.

The largest crowd of the season at Prospera Place came to see the Kelowna Rockets close out their secondround Western Hockey League playoff series. The Victoria Royals were all too happy to disappoint them. The WHL’s regularseason champs scored the game’s first three goals, then held off the Rockets for a 3-2 victory on Sunday night in Kelowna, tying the best-of-seven Western Conference semifinal series 3-3. The seventh and deciding game is set for tonight at Save-onFoods Memorial Arena in Victoria. After losing the first two games of the series, the Rockets rebounded with three straight wins to move to within a victory of their third straight

trip to the Western Conference final. But in front of a season-high 6,246 fans, Rockets’ head coach Brad Ralph said his club simply didn’t play well enough to get the job done. “Victoria outplayed us tonight, our first period wasn’t good,” said Ralph. “You know, just simple things, winning battles, getting pucks deep, that cost us the game.” Kamloops product Joe Hicketts, playing his fourth game of the series after missing seven games with an undisclosed injury, had two assists. Hicketts was plus-2 and named the game’s third star. After requiring the limit to dispose of the Kamloops Blazers in the opening round of the playoffs, the Rockets are headed for a deciding game for the second straight series. Ralph said there are no secrets as to what his team needs to bring tonight. “We have to raise our battle level, come back with that urgency that we’ve had here and we’ll be all right,” said Ralph. “The reason why we’ve been

The Wranglers beat the Kimberley Dynamiters to win the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League title and became provincial junior B champs when they won the Cyclone Taylor Cup, downing the host Victoria Cougars in the final. The Quakers took a 2-0 lead in the Keystone Cup final, but Ryan Friesen and Zimmerman scored to tie the game. Zimmerman notched the winner at 2:35 to spark a frenzied celebration on the ice and in the crowd. Zane Steeves was the winning netminder. There will be a parade today in downtown 100 Mile House to celebrate the Wranglers’ victory.

Matt Baker of Kamloops jumped up in weight class to fight light-heavyweight Emanuel Newton in mixed martial arts action on Saturday in Medicine Hat. Newton, a former Bellator light heavyweight champion who was riding a three-fight losing streak, won by submission in the second round, after avoiding defeat by escaping submission attempts. Baker, nicknamed the Riotmaker, is 13-9 in his MMA career. “It’s not the smartest fighting the world’s best at a higher weight class, but padding my record doesn’t support my family,” Baker said. “The win just slipped out of my hands.”

Colabello receives gift from pitcher who beaned him KEN POWTAK

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON — Toronto first baseman Chris Colabello showed up at his locker the morning after getting beaned by Steven Wright to find a present the Boston pitcher left for him. “Steven decided that he was going to send over a gift,’’ Colabello said, moving his clothes and uniform out of the way to show a large bottle of liquor underneath. “He didn’t have to,’’ he said yesterday as he was getting ready for the annual Patriots’ Day game. “I’m sure that’s not cheap, too.’’ On Sunday, Wright hit the infielder on the helmet with an 87-m.p.h. fastball,

sending him to the ground. He sat on the ground for a while and was checked out by a trainer before getting up and trotting to first base. “It’s just more of a token of saying I’m sorry,’’ Wright said. “I didn’t really want it to be a public thing because it was really between me and him.” Wright was visibly upset on the mound, took off his hat and chatted with Colabello when he made his way to first. The last thing

Colabello expected was a gift. “He went above and beyond in my eyes,’’ he said. “It was pretty obvious there was no intent. You could see by his reaction.’’ Colabello said the act of a pitcher sending a gift to a player after hitting him “happens more than people know. You build relationships with people.’’ On the field, Toronto (7-7) scored twice in the eighth inning yesterday and held on to beat hometown Boston 4-3. Marcus Stroman is expected to start on the mound for the Jays tonight against the hometown Baltimore Orioles. Mike Wright is slated to pitch for Baltimore.

Premier League title race heats up THE CANADIAN PRESS

STOKE, England — Harry Kane and Dele Alli both scored twice yesterday as Tottenham crushed Stoke 4-0 with a devastating attacking display

to close the gap on Premier League leader Leicester to five points. Tottenham’s fearless performance was an emphatic response to Leicester dropping points in Sunday’s draw with West Ham with four games remaining.

NATIONAL NEWS

INUIT ALSO PLAGUED BY SUICIDE: LEADER THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The leader of the country’s national Inuit organization says his people are also dealing with devastating rates of suicide. The “heartbreaking’’ suicide crisis in the First Nation community of Attawapiskat has become a touchstone moment for how mental health issues affect Aboriginal peoples, Natan Obed, president of Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami (ITK), said yesterday. Obed watched the House of Commons emergency debate on the issue last week — a discussion he was pleased to see. “I am thankful for the leadership of [NDP indigenous affairs critic] Charlie Angus in bringing the issue forward,’’ Obed said. “I was sympathetic to a lot of members of Parliament who shared stories and it was obvious that a

number of parliamentarians are passionate about this issue and really want to see positive change, for not only Attawapiskat, but all indigenous communities in Canada, including Inuit.’’ Obed fears, however, Canada is still stuck treating indigenous suicide in a different way than other public health crises. “We could have a much more informed debate and a much more sophisticated debate and not leave it up to communities to come up with answers to the entire problem,’’ he said. Obed noted there are more than 1,000 attempted suicide calls each year in Nunavut, a territory of just over 30,000 people. The suicide rate for Inuit is 11 times higher than the national average and the majority of deaths by suicide are people under 30, according to

Statistics Canada. ITK is also working on identifying more specific suicide figures by working with coroners in the four main jurisdictions where Inuit live — Nunavut, Nunavik (northern Quebec), Nunatsiavut (northern Labrador) and the Inuvialuit Settlement Region of the Northwest Territories. Obed said he hopes the government will move forward on a plan designed specifically to help Inuit people. “It is going to take a lot of money and a very fundamentally different way in which we treat this particular issue,’’ Obed said. “When I talk to anyone who has power, anyone who has influence in the area of suicide, it is as if we are taking all the things that actually matter, the societal change issues, off the table and to say ‘OK, what can we do to reduce Inuit suicide?’

“I’m supposed to answer that question and our communities are supposed to come up with a solid answer to the question without [government] doing the things everyone in the world knows that you would do to transform a high-suicide rate society into a lowsuicide rate one with the infrastructure . . . the environment in which our children are raised. “So, then we get into the question of ‘What are people willing to do instead of what needs to be done’?’’ Obed also said he is worried about some of the things the Liberal government has said in the federal budget about the funding it is providing to First Nations. “There’s a lot of statements that this government has made that, I think, are quite frankly irresponsible,’’ he said. “They keep talking

as if the clean water funds and the education funds are indigenous funding when really they are First Nations, on-reserve funding.’’ Obed said the government has acted to address some longstanding issues, which he applauds as a Canadian, but he does not see the investments as “transformative’’ from his perspective as an Inuit leader. “Inuit get caught up in this all the time where something can be announced and it has nothing to do with our reality because we are not on reserves and our funding relationships are so different,’’ Obed said. “I am disappointed that everything seems to be politicized to the point where it is preying upon peoples’ ignorance of the complex realities of funding between the federal government and indigenous peoples.’’

SENATORS REPAY AS DEADLINE LOOMS THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Three more senators have repaid the upper chamber for expenses a special arbitrator ruled were improper. Senate records show Sen. Pierre-Hugues Boisvenu, a former Conservative appointed by Stephen Harper, retired senator Terry Stratton and Conservative Dennis Patterson repaid a combined bill of almost $40,000 by late Monday afternoon. Boisvenu had originally been cited in last year’s auditor general’s report for $60,076 in questionable claims and saw his file sent to the RCMP for a criminal review. The Mounties told Boisvenu earlier this year they wouldn’t pursue criminal charges. Last month, former Supreme Court justice Ian Binnie cut Boisvenu’s repayment bill to $20,467, saying $38,576 of Boisvenu’s travel expenses were part of his work on victims’ rights. Stratton was ordered to repay $5,466 for trips Binnie and Ferguson agreed were more personal than parliamentary. Patterson was ordered to repay $13,762 for a contract that didn’t follow Senate spending rules. Those repayments leave eight of the original 30 senators cited in Ferguson’s report that have yet to repay a combined $554,712. The Senate has set a deadline of Friday for repayment. Sitting senators who miss the deadline will have their salaries clawed back until the Senate recoups the amounts owed. The only sitting senator who has not repaid the Senate is Liberal Nick Sibbeston, according to the Senate’s website.

NATIONAL NEWS LIBERALS TARGETED FOUR B.C. RIDINGS: ANALYSIS THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The Liberals pumped almost $700,000 into four B.C. ridings in the last election, dethroning two Conservative incumbents and one New Democrat, and losing to the NDP in the hotly contested riding of Vancouver East, election spending data show. The money to help four Liberals get elected included $225,415 to help Pam Goldsmith-Jones defeat Conservative John Weston in the B.C. riding of West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky Country, and $213,638 in Surrey-Newton where Sukh Dhaliwal defeated NDP MP Jinny Sims. Those amounts,

the highest to any riding the central party helped financially in the last election, were targeted in areas where the Liberals expected to be in tight races in a region all three parties considered a key campaign battleground. The transfers from the national party down to the four local candidates were part of more than $4 million in financial help the party doled out before, during and after the election to help Liberal candidates get elected on Oct. 19. The spending was more than the combined total funding transferred from the top down to the riding level by the Conservatives, NDP and Green party combined. In all, the four big

parties that ran candidates across the country sent almost $8 million in cash, goods and services to help local candidates, based on a review by The Canadian Press of some 6,000 transactions filed before the end of March by about 1,500 candidates in the last election. Some 200 candidates had yet to file returns by the end of the month, representing thousands more transactions. Also missing from the data is how much the associations shipped up to the national parties themselves, each of whom could have spent up to $54.5 million during the 78-day campaign. The Liberals — like the Conservatives and

NDP — used detailed data analytic tools to figure out where they should focus efforts, although they kept the information to themselves. The details of the transfers parties made to their candidates, and candidates between themselves, give a glimpse into where the parties felt they had the best chances of winning, or the local races that needed extra dollars to give one party an edge. Of the top 10 spots the Liberals transferred money, seven were in British Columbia. The Liberals gained 15 seats in that province, more than many Grits would have expected one month out from election day, said Mario Canseco, vicepresident of public

affairs with research firm Insights West. Canseco said fortunes changed for the Liberals heading into the last weeks of the campaign as many immigrant voters soured on the Tories over talk of a hotline for ethnic crimes. That gave the Liberals an opening to focus money into seats now open to them, Canseco said. A previous analysis found Conservative riding associations were flush with cash at the end of 2014, the most recent numbers available, with about $19 million available to help candidates across the country and the national campaign. That amount was more than the Liberals, NDP and Greens combined.

CHILD BENEFITS

Enhanced plan introduced OTTAWA — The federal government has introduced its enhancement to Ottawa’s child benefit program — a move it says will bring tax relief for more families and help boost economic growth. Finance Minister Bill Morneau tabled a motion yesterday to implement the move, a key election vow for the Liberals. The measure will consolidate, increase and re-target several family benefits — including the replacement of both the Canada child tax benefit and the universal child-care benefit. The updated plan will cost the public treasury about $10 billion more over the next two years than the combined total of the former Conservative government’s child benefits. The Liberals have argued their overhauled child benefit will generate much-needed economic growth — and eventually help them end a projected string of five-straight federal deficits. Morneau’s motion also included a new tax credit for teachers who buy classroom supplies, a deduction to help encourage skilled labour into northern and remote communities and a move to restore a tax credit for labour-sponsored investment funds. — The Canadian Press

A 7.8-magnitude earthquake in Ecuador on Saturday night (above) killed more than 350 people, including two Quebecors. The earthquake was the strongest to hit the country since 1979.

Two Canadians killed in Ecuador earthquake THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — Family and colleagues are in mourning after the deaths of two Quebecers in the devastating earthquake that killed more than 350 people in Ecuador. Jennifer Mawn and her son, Arthur Laflamme, died when the roof of their residence caved in as the 7.8-magnitude quake struck Saturday night. “She was a very nice person. I’m really shocked,’’ said Hugo Laprise, who worked with Mawn at a Montreal-area clinic she founded for children and teens. “She was a very positive person, she was a very nice person, she was very honest, professional and was always trying to look for the best interest of everybody.’’ Laprise said the neuropsychiatrist kept tabs on the clinic despite being abroad and that she checked in several times a week. Another colleague, Jacqueline LaBrie, said it was very hard to wake up at 5 a.m. to the news the earthquake had

After the quake How you can help through World Vision International aid and development agency World Vision is on the ground and responding to Saturday’s 7.8-magnitude earthquake centred in Manabi, northwest Ecuador. The quake has claimed at least 350 lives and left more than 1,500 people injured, with more than 160 aftershocks recorded. WORLD VISION’S EARTHQUAKE RESPONSE: • Basic first aid and providing access to essentials such as clean water • Support to ensure appropriate temporary shelters for affected families • Setting up child friendly spaces to provide a safe place for children to play and receive psychosocial support to alleviate emotional trauma • Delivery of humanitarian aid kits to affected families HOW CANADIANS CAN HELP: • Canadians can make donations to World Vision Canada to support emergency relief efforts in Ecuador. • Website donations: worldvision.ca/give-a-gift/Pages/ecuadorearthquake.aspx. Phone donations: 1-888-526-7770. killed Mawn and her son, who was described in various media reports as being 12. LaBrie, a family mediation worker who shared an office with Mawn, described the mother of two as “brilliant, full of energy, a

very kind person.’’ They last spoke April 1 and LaBrie said Mawn was last in Quebec during the Christmas holidays. Mawn’s husband, Pascal Laflamme, and their daughter, LaurieAnn, were slightly

injured in the quake but were OK, according to a relative. Guy Laflamme, Pascal’s uncle, told Montreal radio station 98.5 FM his nephew and family had moved to Ecuador not too long ago and liked travelling

and working abroad. He said Pascal had been chatting on FaceTime with his father Real, who was in Quebec, when the earthquake hit. “Everything was going well and from one moment to the next, everything started to shake, to vibrate,’’ Laflamme said. “Pascal shouted, ‘get out! Get out!’ and all communication was cut off.’’ The uncle said Pascal managed to get in touch later to confirm the deaths. Guy Laflamme said Pascal and his daughter “went to the hospital but there were a lot of people extremely injured so they went to stay with friends.’’ The family often blogged about their travels — they lived on Reunion Island between 2007 and 2010, returned briefly to Canada and then headed to Mauritius before moving to Ecuador. Pascal Laflamme noted in one post the family moved last September to the coastal town of Bahia de Caraquez. “We just love it here, weather is great and

living by the Pacific Ocean is a real joy!’’ he wrote. The earthquake, the strongest to hit Ecuador since 1979, levelled buildings and buckled highways along the Pacific Coast of the South American country. It was centred about 170 kilometres northwest of the capital, Quito. Global Affairs Canada has asked friends and relatives of those known to be travelling in Ecuador to contact its emergency response centre. In Ottawa, International Development Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau said Canada will offer $1 million to local authorities quickly. “We will help the [Laflamme] family through our consular services,’’ Bibeau said. “Our team is in contact with local authorities to evaluate the impact of the earthquake and the needs on the ground.’’ Judith Barrett, a Vancouver native who owns the Playa Escondida Ecological Refuge and Lodge, about a 40-minute

drive from the epicentre, has lived in Ecuador for 40 years and says she’s never felt a quake that strong. “It really shook up for about three minutes, but luckily we had no damage whatsoever,’’ she said in an interview. “All the buildings held strong and the ocean was calm. “What we noticed was a loud noise, first of all, that sounded like somebody running across the floor upstairs with big boots and then the ground started shaking. There were actually two — one after another. “The first one, I think, was just a few minutes and it was a different kind of movement. It was kind of up and down and then a zig-zag movement started and people ran out of their cabins. “All we could do was stand there and wait for it to finish, but it was so extreme that it actually affected the equilibrium in our ears and made you feel a little nauseous.’’ — With files from Jennifer Graham in Regina

AN ALL-TIME RECORD FOR SALES The statistics continue to be staggering. The British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA) reports that a record 12,560 residential unit sales were recorded by the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) in March, up 38 per cent from March of last year. Home sales last month eclipsed the previous record of 11,683 unit sales in May of 2007. Total sales dollar volume was $9.69 billion in March, up 66.9 per cent compared to the previous year. The average MLS residential price in the province was up 20.2 per cent year-over-year, to $771,620. “Housing demand has never

been stronger in the province,” said Cameron Muir, BCREA chief economist. “Most large population centres of the province are now experiencing record levels of housing demand. “Strong employment growth, rising wages and a marked

increase in net inter-provincial migration is fueling consumer confidence,” he added. Supply imbalances are becoming increasingly common as new residential listings are not keeping pace with consumer demand. As a result, the inventory of homes for sale is at decade-long lows in many regions. Year-to-date, B.C. residential sales dollar volume increased 70.1 per cent to $21.59 billion when compared with the same period in 2015. Residential unit sales climbed by 39.2 per cent to 28,028 units, while the average MLS residential price was up 22.2 per cent to $770,408.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW Master gardeners Elaine Sedgman (above) and Fearon Blair spoke about gardening and landscaping without pesticides during a recent presentation at the Big Little Science Centre.

No pesticides — now what? JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

laine Sedgman often wonders what her neighbours must think. It’s not unusual for the master gardener to be out in her yard with a magnifying glass, vacuum or even headlamp. “Sometimes the bad guy will come out at night,” she said of garden pests. “You have to go out with your headlamp and the neighbours think you’re crazy.”

Vigilance, however, is an important part of gardening and landscaping without pesticides. Sedgman and Fearon Blair, another master gardener, spoke on that topic to a group of about 20 at the Big Little Science Centre. It was part of the centre’s speaker series and comes in a timely manner. Last summer, Kamloops city council amended bylaws to prevent the use of cosmetic pesticides for residential use and the ban came into effect on Jan. 1, impacting this year’s growing season. Local landscape business owners

came out against the ban at the time, but Sedgman doesn’t think it goes far enough. She wants the provincial government to regulate how pesticides are displayed in stores, hiding them like cigarettes. She also believes the bylaw should have banned pesticides for food-growing, not just cosmetic purposes. “It’s the whole idea that you’re not eating it [pesticides],” Sedgman said. She cites human and animal health, environmental contamination and pest populations becoming resistant as reasons to kick pesticides, but noted they are also pricey.

PSYCHIATRIC NURSING DIPLOMA PROGRAM In response to an overwhelming demand for Psychiatric Nurses throughout BC, particularly outside the Lower Mainland, Stenberg College has offered its online-based Psychiatric Nursing diploma program since 2006. The only program of its kind in Canada, this innovative program allows students to do the majority of their coursework as well as their clinical placements and practicum in their local communities. • Wages range from $30.70 - $40.42 / hour • Recognized by the College of Registered Psychiatric Nurses of BC (CRPNBC) • Articulation agreement with Kwantlen

“That’s a pile of money if you have to do it three times, plus you’re eating those pesticides,” Sedgman said. She admits some of her methods might be more time-consuming. Take apples, for example. In order to save them from the codling moth, Sedgman proposes bagging each fruit with nylon socks, netting or plastic baggies — hand-wrapping each one with the protective materials. “It does take a long time,” Sedgman said. “But it’s done.” See NOTE, page B2

APRIL IS ORAL HEALTH MONTH

The latest Canadian Dental Association public awareness campaign is based on your dentist’s expertise in diagnosing disease that you can’t see or feel. Dentists (especially periodontists) of course fix your teeth but should be viewed as “doctors of the mouth” because we are the best to diagnose Dr. Preety Desai oraopharyngeal & mouth cancer; responsible for 8000 deaths in the US and affecting 43000 people. There are several factors that increase your oral cancer risks: smoking, alcohol, low socioeconomic status, and HPV; the most prevalent being smoking and heavy alcohol consumption together. There is also a direct link between poor oral health and an increased risk of mouth and throat cancers. Poor oral health is defined as people having complete or partial dentures and people with bleeding gums. Contrary to common belief, patients who have dentures MUST go for regular check-ups since they are more at risk for dental & oral health issues. Researchers found that people who never/rarely brush their teeth or visit the dentist were more susceptible to oral cancer. We lead such busy lives these days and when pressed for time you might think that mouthwash is a substitute for routine toothbrushing and flossing. It provides a quick fix for bad breath but is proven to be a deadly habit that that needs to be spat out! A recent study showed that using mouthwash more than three times a day, paired with poor oral health and irregular dental visits, leads to an increased risk of oral cancer. Alcohol content in mouthwashes allows for carcinogens to penetrate into the mouth lining, increasing cancer risk as Australian researchers have proven. These same researchers also analyzed data from 725 oral cancer patients. Men comprised 65% of the group but surprisingly, 22% of these patients were nonsmokers and mainly women. In addition, 14% patients with oropharyngeal cancer were nonsmokers were men. Among current or former smokers, oral lesions occurred more frequently in women than men (61% vs. 39%). However, in the nonsmoking cohort, oral lesions occurred more frequently in men (72% vs. 28%). Common sites of oral cancers in smokers and nonsmokers were the sides of the tongue, floor of mouth, jaw bone ridge, cheek and behind the last molars. Edge-of-tongue tumors — a site potentially associated with dental trauma — occurred significantly more frequently in nonsmokers than smokers (66% vs. 35%). Larger tumors located on the floor of mouth and surrounding tissues were more frequently observed in the smoking cohort (10% vs. 1%). Gingival and floor of mouth lesions — which could be associated with denture rubbing — were more common in older patients. Further, 26 patients had tumors near dental abnormalities. The data on dental trauma is highly suggestive than previously perceived to be contributory to cancer risks, especially in cases involving nonsmoking female patients. The most recently identified risk factor for oral cancer is the human papilloma virus (HPV+). One of the largest studies out of Toronto is predicting the survival rates of metastatic HPV+ cancers at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. The lungs are one of the most common metastatic sites. But either way, when the HPV+ cancer has metastasized, the survival rate drops. These patients do tend to be younger (ie <55yrs vs other cancers at >65yrs) and have fewer health problems including smoking related illness. Thus they can receive more aggressive treatments and survive longer (2+ years). In the HPV+ group with metastases, 25% were still alive after three years, whereas the percentage in the non HPV+ group was 15%. So go to your dentist regularly, teeth or no teeth, problems or no problems! It will save your life or someone close to you!

From B1

The gardeners offered plenty more advice for those adjusting to the new rules. Get out those headlamps because it’s important to keep a close eye on plants, Sedgman said — watch for discoloured or bitten leaves and tiny eggs that may appear. Gardeners aren’t expected to diagnose every problem on the spot, but should note characteristic damage and consult resources. Some helpful books include: Jessica Walliser’s Good Bug Bad Bug: Who’s Who, What they Do and How to Manage Them Organically, which has large pictures of pests, and Linda Gilkeson’s Natural Insect and Disease Control, which is specific to B.C. Another tip is to attract predators. Pesticides have a

way of killing both good and bad bugs, the gardeners noted. By planting herbs or flowers such as sweet asylums, beneficial insects like ladybugs will be drawn to the green space which, in turn, helps take care of pests like aphids. More advice: • Plant a diverse habitat so if one species becomes infected by diseases or destroyed by pests, others survive; • Include water features, such as a pond or waterfall, to entice predators such as snakes, toads, frogs and salamanders; • Choose diseaseresistant plants; • Time planting appropriately. Carrot rust flies lay eggs in mid-April, for example, so planting carrots after mid-May prevents their larvae from ruining crops; • Rotate crops to avoid plants in the

‘If they have a storm drain on their lawn, they may not know not to spray that or spray close to that’ JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Stacy Gagnon has been in a lot of Kamloops yards already this season. “I haven’t met one person that’s happy with the bylaw,” the general manager of Look Out Landscaping told KTW. Last summer, Kamloops city council amended bylaws to prevent the use of cosmetic pesticides for residential use and the ban came into effect on Jan. 1. Many local landscape business owners voiced their opposition to the ban at the time. For Gagnon, Look Out Landscaping offers fulllandscaping services. “It’s impacted our relationships with them [customers],” Gagnon said. She said it’s more expensive for them to pay for three to four times more work.

“We’re pulling a lot more weeds,” she said. “Customers are having to resort to spending more money to get their weeds pulled.” She said it hasn’t meant more money for the company, however, because it doesn’t account for lost customers who break the city bylaw, buying the chemicals and using pesticides themselves. “The big deal is you can go to Canadian Tire and buy this stuff as a homeowner,” Gagnon said. She’s concerned about pesticides moving from the hands of licensed professionals to untrained homeowners. “If they have a storm drain on their lawn, they may not know not to spray that or spray close to that,” Gagnon said. Meanwhile, Liam Ryhnolds, owner of Cityview Landscaping, called the bylaw “silly” and, while he hasn’t noticed it impacting business as of yet, he said he’ll be trying new things once the dandelions come out. “There’s different chemical mixes,” he said.

manda Chan knows it makes sense to work together. And, for groups like Kamloops Innovation Centre, Venture Kamloops and the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce, it means joining forces under Kamloops Startup. “We’re all doing really similar things,” said Chan, community builder for Kamloops Innovation Centre (KIC). “It makes sense for us.” Several local groups promoting entrepreneurship in the Tournament Capital make up the new partnership, which falls under Startup Canada, a network of communities providing resources to “help entrepreneurs start up,” Chan said. Chan said the idea to team up began in November and “everyone was on

board right away.” The group will meet regularly, host events and promote activities to Startup Canada’s national network. There’s also the opportunity for funding down the road, Chan said, “if we wanted to do a really big conference or get speakers.” She said the city has many programs supporting entrepreneurs. “Some of us have specialities in what we focus on,” Chan said. “We’re able to direct people in the right place if they’re looking for specific things. “We can all work together a bit better.” A launch party will be held on Thursday, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in KIC’s parking lot at 348 Tranquille Rd. The Eastamore and Cookshack Cravings food trucks will be on hand, along with Red Beard Cafe. The event is free, but those attending are asked to RSVP online at kamloopsinnovation.ca/event/ startup-kamloops-launch-party.

Sunny skies meant (bottom, left to right) Taylor Bochek and Kelton Goffic weren’t chilly while the wind blew in their faces as they twirled around and around. The event wasn’t all rides, however, as 15-month-old Alex Manson tried grabbing a bobbing ducky with dad Torren, while Anthony Saleati-Caylor and Bryce Scellon took a break to mow down some tasty snacks.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

Aquarius, the more things have been going your way, the more you feel confident everything will fall in line this week. Just don’t get too ahead of yourself.

MATH MIND

MORE MONEY

You have some 90-odd dollars on you. It is in the form of 20-, 10- and 5-dollar bills, toonies, loonies, quarters, dimes and nickels.There is a different, odd number of each bill (from 1, 3 and 5) and the same for the coins (but from 1, 3, 5, 7, 9). The total amount of money is evenly divisible by 25 cents.The number of nickels is the same as the number of one of the bills; the same is true about the number of dimes.There are not nine quarters. Lastly, if you had $99 or more, you would probably just say that you had about $100 — and so would I. How money do you have?
