Threats of violence, pellet guns fired at windows, slashed tires, eggs and rocks flying over his fence — John Yuzik feels like a prisoner in his own home. The 50-year-old North Shore resident said he’s been dealing with a “neighbour from hell” for more than a year and, after facing dead ends with police, city staff and even school-district officials, he is at the end of his wits.

He said the problems with one of his next-door neighbours started seven months later. Yuzik said he has a prescription for medical marijuana and used to smoke it on his back deck. He said his neighbour started popping over while he was smoking, offering him handfuls of weed out of a large bag.

“I’ve carried it myself for a long time and hoped it was going to change, trying to live in peace,” he told KTW as he sat on his back porch, six feet from a kitchen window pocked with four pellet holes — marks he said were made on Friday while his wife was baking in the kitchen. “It hasn’t changed.” According to Yuzik, police came to investigate the pellet-gun shooting. “They told us that without proof, there’s nothing they can do,” he said. “It seems pretty straightforward, but

Four community groups and five private developers are in the mix as Kamloops city council considers the future of the former Kamloops Daily News property on Seymour Street. Dave Freeman, the city’s real-estate manager, said council will see nine proposals for the property at a closed meeting on April 26. Five of the proposals are from private developers, based either in Kamloops or the Lower Mainland, and four come from local community groups, Freeman said. “The private-sector development interests are basically, ‘We’ll acquire the property from you,’” Freeman said. “And, as a private-sector project, we’d have to sell it at market value. “And then the community groups are very much, ‘This should be held by the city and for the city and funded by the city, whether it be for a revamp of the performing-arts centre proposal or recreational use.’” In 2014, the city purchased the property from Glacier Media for $4.8 million, with plans to use it to expand parking options downtown. But a proposal for a $91-million combined performing-arts centre and underground parkade was defeated in a referendum in November, leaving the future of the lot in question. The newspaper building, which once housed the Hudson’s Bay department store, was supposed to be torn down this year to make way for more surface parking stalls for monthly rental, but that plan was put on hold in order to take suggestions from the public for the property’s future.

Sam Bansal (left) uses a chilum, an Indian pipe made of clay, to smoke marijuana with friends Ishte Haq, Shak Hari, Sid Agrewal and David Mendez during the 4-20 event in Riverside Park yesterday. About 50 people gathered by 3 p.m. to light up on the one day of the year set aside by marijuana advocates across North America to celebrate cannabis culture and call for legalization. Not surprisingly, the federal Liberal government chose yesterday to announce its plans to legalize pot.

LEGALIZATION PROCESS BEGINS IN 2017 THE CANADIAN PRESS

NEW YORK — Canada’s legislation to begin the process of legalizing and regulating marijuana will be introduced next spring, Health Minister Jane Philpott announced yesterday at the United Nations. During her impassioned speech at a special UN session on drugs, Philpott acknowledged the pot plan “challenges the status quo in many countries,’’ but she said the Liberal government is convinced it’s the best way to protect youth while enhancing public safety. Canada must do better when it comes to drug policy, she added, saying the government’s approach will be rooted in science and will address the devastating consequences of drugs and drug-related crimes. “I am proud to stand up for our drug policy that is informed by solid scientific evidence and uses a lens of public health to maximize education and minimize harm,’’ she said. “As a doctor who has worked both in Canada and sub-Saharan Africa, I have seen too many people suffer the devastating consequences of drugs, drug-related crime and

The woman described watching her daughter die as she sought help that should have been available to save her life, Philpott said. “She described watching her daughter slip away as she struggled to access the treatment and services that should have been available to save a beautiful, fragile life,’’ Philpott said. “Stories like this are far too commonplace. Countless lives are cut short due to overdoses of licit and illicit substances. Today, I stand

before you as Canada’s minister of health to acknowledge that we must do better for our citizens.’’ Philpott’s address happened to coincide with 4-20, the annual day of celebration for cannabis culture lovers, which takes on greater significance in Canada this year, with the government planning to green-light recreational marijuana use. The UN General Assembly is holding a special session on global drug policy. Officials from around the world have gathered for the meeting that has been billed as the first of its kind in nearly two decades. Other countries and cultures will pursue different approaches, Philpott noted. “I believe that if we respect one another’s perspectives and seek common ground, we can achieve our shared objective: protecting our citizens,’’ she said. “Better yet, we can improve their lives.’’ In 1998, the assembly adopted an action plan that emphasized the need for law enforcement and a “drug-free world.’’ Critics have argued the so-called war on drugs has been ineffective and has undermined public health efforts.

Cooling trend should help fire situation CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Forest-fire season has struck early and aggressively in northern B.C. but it’s too early to conclude the province will endure another big year, officials said Tuesday. Forty-nine new fires were sparked on Monday, 37 of them in the Prince George region. That includes in the Peace River region, where the Beatton Airport Road fire reached more than 3,000 hectares. “With increasing tempera-

tures and limited precipitation and wind, it’s causing significant challenges for us,” said Steve Thomson, the province’s minister of forests, lands and natural resource development. Most of the province is expected to cool in the coming days and rain is forecast to fall in some regions, “which will help us,” Thomson said. The Interior has greened up, providing little available fuel for fires.There are only four fires recorded in the entire Kamloops fire region, none of them large. Thomson said Environment

The province has 1,400 firefighting staff in addition to private contractors that are available. Kevin Skrepnick a spokesman

for Wildfire B.C., said grassfires do occur at this time of year, “but not to this extent.” There have been a few grass fires in the city this spring, including two near the airport and a blaze last weekend near Royal Avenue, on the banks of the Thompson River. None of the fire causes structure damage.

A staff member from the B.C. Wildfire branch is a guest speaker at tonight’s meeting of the Kamloops Naturalist Club.

Les Leduc, a forest protection technician based in Kamloops, will speak about fire-suppression resources and fires of interest in the region. A second speaker, Thompson Rivers University student Janelle Paulson, will update her research based in Lac Du Bois looking at the effects of limited snowpack and drought conditions.

Thieves made off with $2,400K in rings

This sky lantern was found in the woods near Summit elementary in Sahali. Fortunately, the candle inside did not cause a wildfire.

The search is on for a pair of thieves who used a distraction method to steal two valuable rings from the downtown Thrift Seller store, operated by the Afternoon Auxiliary to RIH. The theft occurred on Saturday, April 9, when a couple entered the store at 146 Victoria St. near closing time and made off with the rings, valued at $2,400. Two volunteers were working at the front of the store, getting ready to close, when the couple came in. They were seen earlier circling the shop. The man kept the workers distracted at the till while he was eating his lunch at the counter.

The young girl went to the electronics area to choose a few random items to bring to the register. She put the merchandise on the counter and asked to see some chains in the locked cabinet. The volunteer opened the cabinet for them and, while the girl distracted the volunteer, the man reached in and grabbed a man’s ring and a women’s ring. The couple then said they needed to go out to their vehicle to retrieve their bank card. Anybody with information on the identities of the couple in the accompanying photos is asked to call Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000.

Ground those sky lanterns ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops firefighters are asking residents to keep their sky lanterns grounded after one of the floating paper lights was found in the brush near Summit elementary in Sahali. Dean Olstad, chief of fire prevention for Kamloops Fire Rescue, said one of his neighbours found a used lantern in the wooded area near the school and brought it to KFR’s attention. “It looks like the sky lantern itself is singed and burned, but it didn’t light the grass on fire, luckily,” he said. Sky lanterns — essentially small paper hot air balloons carrying lit candles — have the

potential to cause fires because they may drop onto homes, power lines or fields while still lit, or their frames may catch fire while in the air, Olstad said. The lanterns may also travel two kilometres or more after they’ve been lit, according to the National Fire Protection Agency. “Releasing an object and letting it fly away unattended, that is technically on fire, is probably not the best idea when we live in a semi-arid desert,” Olstad said. Sky lantern fires could also be more difficult for KFR to fight, Olstad said, because people are more likely to release the lanterns at night in order to see them better — a time of day when it can be more difficult to mobilize crews and head into

the wilderness to track down flames. Olstad said anyone found releasing a lantern within city limits could face a fine of $500 or more.

Sky lantern facts:

• The lanterns are often made of oiled rice paper with a bamboo frame, materials that can easily catch on fire. • A candle or wax fuel cell is used with the device. • The lit flame heats the inside of the lantern, causing it to rise into the air. • Once lit and airborne, it can travel two kilometres-plus. • Wind can affect the sky lantern, blowing the sides, forcing the hot air out and sending the flaming lantern back to the ground. While they look stunning as they rise in the night sky, their candles ablaze, sky lanterns can cause wildfires when they hit the ground. Kamloops Fire Rescue is urging residents to not send the devices into the air. Those caught doing so face fines of $500 or more.

Video surveillance is the next step From A1

Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie told KTW. “It’s often a retaliation. There are many different levels and it’s often a he-said-she-said or a he-said-he-said, whatever the case may be.” Shelkie said there’s not much police can do without solid evidence — such as an eyewitness or video surveillance. “Unless he sees his neighbour standing there shooting the BB gun at his window, we can only act on evidence,” she said. “We need some evidence. There’s no evidence for us to solve it other than he’s upset with his neighbour and thinks his neighbour did it. There’s been criminal activity, but without evidence, we can’t take it to the next step.” In addition to going to police, Yuzik said he has tried to rectify the situation through city officials, KamloopsNorth Thompson MLA Terry Lake and Kamloops-Thompson school district superintendent Karl deBruijn. Nothing has worked, he said. “I don’t have a gun, I’m not a violent person, I’m not a thug,” he said. “He resents us being here because we cramp his whole thing.” After having pellets fired at his kitchen window last week, Yuzik said he’s afraid what his neighbour might do next. “I don’t know what he’s capable of. I didn’t think he was capable of this, but he was,” Yuzik said, pointing at the pellet holes in his window. “I don’t know what he’s going to do.” Yuzik then opened his daughter’s diary and read an entry she wrote after the pellet-gun incident: “I do not feel safe on my deck. My dad gave me a big hug and now I feel safe.” Yuzik is hopeful the security system will bring to an end his neighbourhood nightmare. “Other than that, we love the place,” he said.

“I told him, ‘I’m not working, I can’t pay you back,’” Yuzik said. “He said, ‘No problem.’” Last February, Yuzik said, the neighbour started threatening him over the fence. “I’m with my daughter and he’s threatening to punch me out,” he said. Yuzik said he called police and claimed the officer who arrived spoke to the neighbour, then told Yuzik to pay his debts. According to Yuzik, he and his wife discussed offering some money to the neighbour for the weed he thought was free. “But with someone like that, where does it end?” he said. “We decided not to get into that.” Since then, Yuzik said, the aggressive behaviour has escalated. “They slashed my wife’s tires, poured a beer on her car, threw eggs, rocks, the BB gun,” he said. “It’s very childish. I just try to live my life. I’m 50 years old.” At one point last year, Yuzik said, he was in his backyard with his daughter when he saw his neighbour talking into a cellphone. “I don’t know if he was really talking to someone or he was pretending,” Yuzik said. “But he says, ‘I don’t want these people living next to me. I’ll give someone a big bag of bud to grab his daughter.’ “This is my little girl. I went over there and I said, ‘Like f---. Like f---.’” Police have told Yuzik there is nothing they can do without proof, so he has ordered a video-surveillance system he hopes to have up and running soon. “If there’s a neighbour dispute, in my experience as a police officer, both neighbours contribute to it,”

Staff is not making a recommendation on any of the proposals. Several community groups have already made their plans public. A group led by former MLA Kevin Krueger hopes to see an arts centre and affordable housing built on the property, while another proposal calls for the building to be demolished in favour of a multi-sport recreation facility, which would include a velodrome. The Downtown Neighbourhood Association wants the building to be preserved and the city to build an arts centre incorporating the existing structure. According to docu-

ments posted on B.C. Bid, the city estimates it would cost about $2.5 million to upgrade the existing Daily News building to “marketready leasable space.” That total does not include repairs to the building’s mechanical system, including its boiler and water lines, which are also required. “The water lines and sprinkler system were not winterized as the building was originally slated for demolition and there is evidence of broken pipes,” the documents state. Demolishing the building, which would require asbestos abatement, is estimated to cost between $1 million and $1.5 million.

KAMLOOPS-THOMPSON SCHOOL DISTRICT MUST FIND $2.45 MILLION TO CUT DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Faced with the need to cut $2.45 million from its 2016-2017 operating budget, the head of the KamloopsThompson school district said the commitment to maintaining class sizes, school supports and other educational components remains. That doesn’t mean it will be an easy task, said superintendent Karl deBruijn — but it’s one he’s confident will be met. The draft budget will be presented tonight at 7 p.m. at the board office, 1383 Ninth Ave. The original budget deficit for the upcoming school year started at $3.7 million, deBruijn said, but $1.25 million in savings from reduced teacher pension contributions has been applied to the shortfall. That amount came from an overpayment identified by the trustees who administer the plan, he said, money trustees had hoped to be able to use for other educational projects, but which will now be

applied to the deficit. Fuelling the shortfall is the reality the district is still experiencing declining enrolment. This year, the district welcomed 312 fewer students than expected, a group that would have brought $2.3 million in revenue from the provincial government into board coffers. DeBruijn said enrolment is stabilizing in elementary grades and, once the declining cohort moves through and graduates, enrolment is expected to level off. The Ministry of Education has directed the board to cut $1.4 million in administrative costs this year and next, something deBruijn said will be spread across all administrative costs. One large savings will come from the administrative costs of running Stuart Wood elementary, which will be closed at the end of this school year. At a meeting on Monday with trustees, at which the draft budget was presented, administration was directed to do every-

thing possible to maintain class sizes, including programs, supports for all students (in particular those with special needs) custodians and specialty teaching. That’s a message trustees have continued to receive from parents, deBruijn said, noting it is key to board decisions. However, he expects two certified education assistants — formerly called school/student support workers — will be laid off because of a decrease in the number of students requiring their assistance. A few teaching and other support staff positions will also be subject to layoffs, he said, noting the process repeats itself annually with layoff notices issued in June based on anticipated enrolment and some staff recalled in September because of actual enrolment. DeBruijn said the district is already experiencing enrolment growth due to the economic challenges faced by those who left the city to work in Alberta’s oilfields. Families are returning to Kamloops and

TRU gets $300K from Victoria for equipment Thompson Rivers University (TRU) is receiving $300,000 to be used to purchase training equipment for use by students studying health care, skilled trades and other programs. Advanced Education Minister Andrew Wilkinson made the announcement during an April 15 visit to the university. Equipment to be purchased includes vibration-analysis instruments for millwright students, a walk-in freezer for culinary-arts students and intravenous pumps for health-care students.

MORE TREE COUPONS

“Skilled trades and health-care workers are in demand throughout British Columbia, including Kamloops,” Wilkinson said in a statement. “Our government is investing in programs, training seats and training equipment to prepare students for these careers.” In a statement, Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake noted the provincial government has invested more than $2.4 million in Thompson Rivers University since the launch of the B.C. Liberals’ B.C.’s Skills for Jobs Blueprint program.

The City of Kamloops is once again offering $20 coupons to the public for use in buying trees. Coupons can be picked up during the city’s Green Living Expo at Sandman Centre on April 30 or, starting May 2, at the Public Works Centre, 955 Concordia Way, between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. One coupon is available per household, and a total of 750 coupons will be up for grabs this year.

he’s anticipating that will lead to more students in September. Secondary classes remain a concern as the enrolment dip experienced more than a decade ago is now resulting in smaller high school classes. DeBruijn said that makes it a challenge to offer a variety of courses, particularly to senior grades, and the possibility exists some courses students want to take might not be offered. Video-conferencing and distance learning are potential solutions, he said, but students have said they prefer face-to-face instruction over technologically linked classes.

DeBruijn noted in past years, the idea of reorganizing the secondary level into fewer schools with classes large enough to offer a variety of programming has not been popular, but may be a concept that will be reconsidered in coming years. The pedagogical shift incorporated in the new curriculum now being rolled out may also help with course offering as it focuses on more individualized and project-based learning, deBruijn said. After receiving input at tonight’s meeting, administrators will finalize the budget to take to an upcoming board meeting.

BC Housing is inviting municipalities, non-profit housing providers, the private sector and community groups to submit an expression of interest for the development of affordable rental housing. Online information sessions are taking place for interested proponents on:

BACK TO BASICS AT POLICING FORUM

hen it comes right down to it, we humans are a simple lot. We may dream of the gaudiest toys to add to our lives, but when we strip away the wants and get to the needs, the list really is quite basic. Take Tuesday night’s public forum on McArthur Island, hosted by the Kamloops RCMP. The intent of the meeting (and of another one tonight at 7 p.m. in the Hal Rogers Centre in Sahali’s Albert McGowan Park) was to explain to the masses how policing works and ask for input on how policing in Kamloops might be tailored. The masses did not show up (there were only 23 people in attendance on a summer-like evening), but there were plenty of solid comments tossed out by residents as the meeting went far past its scheduled 90-minute limit. And, when all the comments were tallied, it is evident residents (at least those at Tuesday’s forum) simply want basic policing to be beefed up. Speeding was the No. 1 topic raised, with Westsyde Road, MacKenzie Avenue and Highway 1 in Valleyview cited by three people. Police presence was also a popular theme, with more than one resident opining that the mere sight of a marked police car can do wonders in slowing down drivers and putting a scare into would-be petty criminals. Other issues were raised, of course — theft and drug-dealing, among others — but from the perspective of the passionate group who bent the collective ear of the Mounties, there is a need to focus on the basics. Supt. Brad Mueller and his team of Mounties offered a wealth of information as to why and how they do what they do — and reiterated they were there to listen, not to dictate. As Mueller said: “It’s important we police with the community as opposed to policing to you.”

Lock me up again next year

irst things first — leg shackles are cold and they hurt. Every step you take in them hurts in a way normal handcuffs don’t. The biggest injury of all, however, came after a grinning Kamloops RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller finally pocketed his cuff keys and watched me waddle through the lobby of Hotel 540. Jail and Bail judge Tony Ryan relished having the ability for the first time to glare down at everyone from his new, elevated bench and list the crimes of those before him‚ including mine. It took a while to hear my transgressions — something about recidivism and advocating wrong political viewpoints, being a flight (no, not flighty) risk and finally arriving at the ultimate sin, one for which Ryan had evidence. Somehow, some way, he managed to find a photograph of me smiling at a recent Donald Trump rally in Wyoming. Ouch! Shame on you, Tony. Someone take his Photoshop application away from him. Last year, Mueller mused it would be the last year for Jail and Bail, a fundraiser the local constabulary created in 2011 to help raise money for the United Way Thompson-Nicola Cariboo. Since then, prior to yesterday’s incarcerations, it had collected more than $300,000. This year, the event had a new date — it used to be held in the fall — and a new location at Hotel 540 on Victoria Street.

DALE BASS

Street

LEVEL Why downtown? For the past four years, the event has pretty much taken over the lobby of the Tournament Capital Centre, so it was decided to move it downtown. The makeshift brig, this year with a ball and chain and striped prisoners’ outfits and hats, was set up in the breezeway of the hotel, a location that garnered curious looks and questions from people checking out. This year, therapy dogs also came down, bringing their humans with them. A couple of them even came into the cell to try to calm some of the freakedout business folk who were frantically working their cellphones to come up with their bail. (I joke. They weren’t freaked at all, except maybe the karaoke cop, who was told his $10,000 bail could be reduced if he sang a song or two for the crowd.) Even the staff at the hotel got into the action, taking photographs on cellphones for people who wanted a memory to share. It’s just another indication of the kind of community support

that thrives in Kamloops. Jail and Bail is not the only event this month benefitting others. There’s an all-ages hip-hop event at the Kamloops Pow Wow on Saturday, with proceeds going to the Phoenix Centre. Sunday is the annual Boogie the Bridge, an event that has grown from 68 people its first year to an expected 2,500 this year. Money raised will help the Kamloops Arts Council and A Way Home, the local initiative addressing youth homelessness. Music in the Round returns to the university campus on Saturday, raising money for arts students at Thompson Rivers University and the Kamloops Interior Summer School of Music. Flavours of India hosts It Takes A Community, a dinner to support the Y Women’s Emergency Shelter, Violence Against Women Intervention and Support Services department, the Children Who Witness Abuse program and Women’s Outreach services. There will be more in coming months, walks and golf tournaments building awareness and raising money for various diseases and charities. Asked this year if it’s the last Jail and Bail, Mueller smiled again and said he’s not sure. Let’s hope they do return for a sixth year. It’s a fun event, it really doesn’t take a lot of work by us miscreants and it helps make Kamloops a great place to live. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

YOUR OPINION

LOCAL NEWS

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR IF AJAX ARRIVES, TAX SYSTEM NEEDS A CHANGE WE WILL LEAVE FOR ANOTHER CITY Editor: If the proposed Ajax mine comes to Kamloops, my family and I will be forced to leave. I wish to ask Kamloops residents: What places in Western Canada has anyone found that offer what we have here? I’d love to have their findings. It would save me a great deal of research in the event the mine proposal is approved. I am looking for a place that has the following • A river or lake within walking distance. • Cross-country ski trails a half-hour drive away. • Downhill skiing an hour’s drive away. • A WHL team. • Four distinct seasons: hot, dry summers, cold winters, Indian summers and wet springs. • Public swimming pools, arenas and soccer, rugby and baseball fields. • Libraries. • Indoor recreation opportunities. • Public transit. • University. • Nationally accredited art gallery. • Music in the Park, a theatre company and a symphony. • Farmers’ Market. • Annual powwow. • Secwepmc and city museums. • Convenient shopping. • Independently owned businesses. • Interesting and lively downtown. • Major hospital. Kamloops is a wonderful place to live, but we are ready to go elsewhere if Ajax comes here. C. Mader Kamloops

Editor: Re: KTW’s April 12 article (‘Heavy-industry tax break will hit Kamloops homeowners’): Property taxes are an archaic form of taxation. Everyone in the community benefits from home ownership and home upkeep, yet the city chooses to penalize homeowners every year with this archaic form of tax. When the tax of your home is equal to a month’s

income of the average homeowner, it’s time for mayor and council to take a look at how they spend tax dollars. Once again, the homeowner, who is contributing to the community and the local economy, is being burdened with more tax due to the mistakes of city council. I am not saying the relief should be taken away from industry, either. I’m saying the shift should not fall solely to the homeowner and the city should

look at how it spends our money. All expenditures council reviews and approves should be determined by necessity, not desire. We could then be ready for a reassessment of property tax and not a tax reassessment. This is yet another example of decisions made by a mighty king and his roundtable. Darrell Collins Kamloops

TAKE YOUR DOG POOP WITH YOU Editor: Re: G. Buttuls’ letter of April 1 complaining about white, plastic doggie-doo bags in parks (‘Clean up after canines in Kenna’): He is right. It is disgusting to see bags left at trail sides throughout the city. I’m out in Brocklehurst and quite often see these bags along the river’s dike. I think well-meaning people leave the bags at trailside with every good intention of picking it up on the way back to the poop containers. They just forget.

However, it is the folks who let their dog’s business remain on the trails who need to pick up after their pets. Cyclists, like myself, and hikers use the trails throughout town. Has anyone ever tried to get poop out of their bike tires or shoe treads? Pet owners, please take your bags of poop with you. To those who don’t clean up after their dogs — get a cat instead. Davey Dunbar Kamloops

Editor: How is it fair that I pay for a monthly parking pass in the Sandman Centre parking lot, but when I try to park there, I’m forced to pay $4 if there’s a hockey

game or event happening? I’ve already paid $55 for the month. Trying to park to go to work and being told the parking pass I paid for is not valid really pisses me off.

Judge to decide Charter bid CAM FORTEMS

At least some of the delay in the trial of a man convicted of criminal negligence in connection to the death of a houseboat captain on Shuswap Lake nearly six years ago rests with the defence or is unavoidable, a Crown prosecutor argued this week. Lawyers have completed a hearing and will now wait for a B.C. Supreme Court judge to determine whether Leon Reinbrecht’s right to a fair trial under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms was compromised by a 46-month delay from the time he was charged to the date he was convicted.

charge to conviction is not the fault of his client, a delay he pinned on the courts and Crown. The case has seen one Crown lawyer retire and hand over responsibility to another. Reinbrecht is on his third lawyer. Delays were also caused by Reinbrecht’s fight to obtain legal-aid funding. “No one over the four years has suggested it wasn’t necessary for Mr. Reinbrecht to have counsel,” prosecutor Neil Flanagan said. “Arrangements for that took a significant amount of time.” Flanagan called much of the delay “neutral” — the fault of neither defence nor Crown. Donegan has reserved her decision for a later date.

Court Justice Sheri Donegan found Reinbrecht guilty of criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm in connection to the July 3, 2010, crash in Magna Bay that killed houseboat operator Ken Brown and injured at least five people. Donegan ruled Reinbrecht was operating his speedboat recklessly at night after post-Canada Day fireworks when he crashed into the slow-moving houseboat. Reinbrecht’s speedboat ended up completely inside the houseboat. It took 17 months from the time of the crash for the Crown to bring charges against Reinbrecht, but that delay does not form part of the defence’s argument. Defence lawyer Joe Doyle said the 46 months of delay from the time of the

He said he found in jail he had more of a family than he did outside. “There is a structure there.” Murphy said Tom was “born into tragedy” and grew up in the Lillooet area. “The issue we’re looking at here is whether there is a reasonable prospect for his future,” she said. “The reasonable expectation is that he will commit a future serious violent offence.” Murphy said Tom’s criminal record is not reflective of his actual behaviour in the community. She filed a book of 28 police reports — some prosecuted, some unprosecuted and some partially prosecuted — to boost her claim. “There are shortcomings in Lillooet for the justice system and social services,” Murphy said. “It’s possible, over the years, that Mr. Tom has been underprosecuted.” Murphy said Tom’s offending doesn’t fol-

said, pointing to a difficult childhood and other First Nations issues as a result of residential schools. “A guy like Mr. Tom, we owe him some serious consideration here. It’s my submission that the in-between solution here is for a person like him. “In the First Nations and offending scene, particularly with this drunken violence problem, it’s a matter of judicial awareness that people like Mr. Tom tend to burn out in their 40s and 50s. “It stops because they get to an age where they just don’t do it anymore.” Sommerfeld is seeking a determinate sentence followed by a 10-year supervision order in the community. Tom’s dangerousoffender hearing, in front of B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sheri Donegan, is expected to finish tomorrow.

With less than half of the eligible 745 faculty members at Thompson Rivers University casting ballots, an 81 per cent vote of non-confidence in university administration among those voting is enough for the president of the faculty union. TRU Faculty Association president Tom Friedman said he’s not concerned with the fact 363 of 745 eligible members (49 per cent) voted, nor that the 294 voting in favour of a non-confidence motion equals 40 per cent of eligible members.

He noted more than 300 of union members are contract employees who tend to not vote either because they have no ongoing relationship with the university or they don’t want to take part in decisions that might affect their contractual security. Regardless, Friedman said it is one of the strongest participatory vote in the union’s history. Last year, 391 members took part in a strike vote and 459 members took part in the collective-agreement ratification vote earlier this year. Friedman said he would be disappointed

if university administrators looked only at the numbers and did not consider the strong message being sent that faculty are not content with the way the institution is being run. “The results of this vote should be a wake-up call to the institution for substantive changes,” he said, adding he hopes the board of governors agrees to meet with the union soon to discuss ongoing issues, which involve governance. The vote identified specific administra-

tors in which faculty have no confidence, including president Alan Shaver, provost Christine BovisCnossen, vice-presidents finance Matt Milovick and advancement Christopher Seguin and associate vice-president academic Donna Petrie. Petrie, a former head of the faculty union, led the administration team in the recent bargaining. Seguin, also spokesman for TRU, said he could not comment until he had conferred with Shaver.

POOLING MEMORIES OF MCDONALD PARK DIP

On April 12, Kamloops council reaffirmed its decision to close the outdoor pool in McDonald Park and replace it with a spray park and wading pool. A day later, city crews were in the North Kamloops park to begin demolition of the 58-year-old pool. Last weekend, a planned protest turned into a wake of sorts, with residents gathering to share memories of cooling off in the neighbourhood water hole during blistering Kamloops summers. Above are photos of the pool taken a few days apart. To the left, Michelle Piluk brought donuts to the pool site on Sunday, April 17, as neighbours gathered to swap stories of swimming in the park. The decision to close the pool was part of the city’s review of recreational facilities on the North Shore and in Westsyde. Council also decided to keep the outdoor pool in Brocklehurst open and to undertake a $3-million repair of the roof in the building housing the pool in Westsyde and reopening that facility.

Don’t fall for the persistent Canada Revenue scam

An eye for finding a stolen truck Kamloops Mounties are crediting an eagleeyed resident for the eventual arrest of an alleged car thief. RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said police received a report on Monday of a pickup truck stolen on the North Shore. On Tuesday morning, a North Kamloops resident called Mounties to report suspicious people outside his home. “The citizen supplied the licence-plate number of the vehicle the people were driving,” Shelkie said. “The plate number and vehicle description belonged to the stolen vehicle.” An RCMP helicopter located the vehicle on a driveway and police on the ground moved in and arrested the 24-year-old man behind the wheel of the truck. The suspect was set to appear in court yesterday.

Speeding, drugs top concerns at forum CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

On Tuesday night, she asked the 12 Mounties in front of her to visit her home. “I’d like to invite anybody to come and

sit in my kitchen and watch what goes on in my neighbourhood,” she said. “I’ll make coffee or whatever. I watched a drug deal go down just before I came here — and the speeding is atrocious.” The North Kamloops

resident, who declined to give her name to KTW, was one of 22 residents on McArthur Island for the first of two Kamloops RCMP public forums this week. A second forum will take place tonight at 7 p.m. at the Hal Rogers Centre in Sahali’s Albert

McGowan Park. The MacKenzie Avenue resident told RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller she has given scads of information to Mounties over the years, yet the nefarious activity in the area persists, including three fatal crashes

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING When? When?

Thursday Thursday Apr. 28, 2016 Feb. 26, 2015 1:15 p.m. 10:00 a.m. For info & submissions

The Board of Directors of the Thompson-Nicola Regional District gives notice that it will hold a Public Hearing in the TNRD Boardroom, 4th Floor - 465 Victoria Street, Kamloops, BC, to consider proposed Bylaws 2547, 2568 and 2569. What is Land Use Contract Termination and Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 2547, 2016? It will terminate LUC Agreement Bylaw No. 80, 1972 (LUC 80) and all LUC 80 amendments for “Whitecroft Village.” It will also shift land use regulation to Zoning Bylaw No. 2400. The change, initiated by the TNRD, would be the first LUC terminated under new BC law. The termination will result in Whitecroft properties being rezoned to either R-1: Residential Single and Two Family zone; OR CR-1: Country Residential zone; OR, in the case of larger lots, the AF-1: Agricultural/Forestry zone. Note the Bylaw will not be effective until one year after adoption.

What are South Thompson Valley and Pinantan Ofﬁcial Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 2568, 2016 & Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 2569, 2016? These Bylaws would change the permitted density of future development at 3159, 3163 and 3161 Shuswap Rd (legally described Lot 7, District Lot 281, KDYD, Plan 26828), as shown in bold outline on the map below. The applicant wishes to subdivide Lot 7 into five 2-acre parcels. Bylaw 2568 would change its OCP designation on Lot 7 from Forestry/Grazing & Hazard Lands to Rural Residential & Hazard Lands to permit the property to be subdivided into five 2-acre parcels. Bylaw 2569 would rezone Lot 7 from SH-1: Small Holding to CR-1: Country Residential.

and the still-unsolved 2006 murder of Henry Vandenberghe. “One drug house burned down,” she said. “And that was a blessing.” Tuesday night’s meeting was the first to be organized by the local RCMP since 2012 and was being held to explain to the public how police operations work and to solicit feedback from those served by the 130 officers in the city. “It’s important we police with the community as opposed to policing to you,” Mueller said. With the head of the Kamloops RCMP was second-on-command Insp. Sunny Parmar and heads of various departments,

from the serious-crimes unit to the crime-reduction unit. While noting overall reported crime has declined during the past three years, Mueller noted property-crime numbers continue to be a problem, as they are provincewide. “We are seeing new faces here in Kamloops that we haven’t seen before,” Mueller said of those he dubbed “travelling criminals.” Mueller noted a sluggish economy pulled down by the collapse in the Alberta oil sector has led to more people coming through Kamloops, including those with a criminal intent. But among the hand-

ful of residents at the forum, speeding and, to a lesser extent, drug activity and theft dominated concerns. One resident referred to Westsyde Freeway when talking about the speedway that is Westsyde Road, while another Kamloopsian cited the impunity with which drivers speed through Valleyview on Highway 1. As with many other issues, Mueller cited finite resources, noting hard policing decisions need to made in a city as large as Kamloops and with a detachment that rarely has its full complement of 130 officers available for duty.

STATISTICALLY SPEAKING . . . • The peak times for calls to police are not Friday and Saturday nights, as one might suspect, but aligned with the work day — Mondays to Fridays, 9 a.m. to 5 p..m. The most requested calls from the North Shore and South Shore differed in 2015, with the North Shore’s No. 1 call being theft-related followed by disturbances, abandoned 911 calls, traffic and general assistance. The South Shore’s No. 1 call was also theft-related, followed by traffic, abandoned 911 calls, disturbances and false alarms. In 2015, 55 per cent of all calls to police came from the South Shore, while 44 per cent came from north of the river. • When a call is made to the RCMP, it falls under one of four priority levels, with Priority 1 being very urgent/immediate dispatch. Insp. Sunny Parmar said a response time of seven minutes from the time the call is received to having an officer at the door of the destination is the policing industry standard. He said Kamloops Mounties will be recording response times to determine times. • With many calling for greater enforcement on speeding in Kamloops, Supt. Brad Mueller said traffic matters are a priority

Website

(noting traffic calls are among the most received). Within traffic calls are sub-priorities in this order: impaired driving, distracted driving, speeding and seatbelt use. • The Kamloops RCMP budget is costshared between the City of Kamloops (90 per cent) and the federal government (10 per cent). In 2015, the city funded $20.8 million, while Ottawa chipped in $3.5 million. The cost of policing per average Kamloops taxpayer is $421 a year, or $1.15 per day. • The Kamloops detachment has funding for 130 regular members, though the number of officers on active duty is almost always below that number for a variety of reasons (injuries, sick leave, vacation, etc.). This leads to a substantial overtime budget, which was at $1.2 million last year. There is one superintendent, one inspector, six staff sergeants, nine sergeants, 21 corporals and 92 constables. There are also 58 municipal employees in support staffing roles, 30 auxiliaries, 17 victim services volunteers and 28 volunteer community safety personnel. The detachment runs four general duty watches, consisting of one staff sergeant, one sergeant, two corporals and 13 constables.

Kickflip with the ‘old stuff’

A&E COORDINATOR: JESSICA WALLACE 778-471-7533 or email jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Museum’s newest contemporary exhibit looks at local skateboarding culture, includes rideable ramp

JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

hen Beau Sorley started riding, there were no skateboard parks in Kamloops. He and his friends would catch the city bus after school from the hospital up to Aberdeen and skate all the way back down. “We had an hour and ten minute route and it was the same every time,” Sorley remembers. “This is when street skating was just coming up.”

Thirty years later, technology has changed — boards are a few inches smaller now — the fashion has evolved several times over and the River City is home to multiple skateboard parks and professional skateboarders. “Kamloops is a great place to grow up and skateboard these days,” Sorley said. Kamloops Museum and Archives is showcasing the culture of skateboarding with a new exhibit entitled Ground Control, which opens tomorrow and runs to Aug. 20. “Skateboarding is a pretty influential activity and what we wanted to do was attempt to capture at least a part of the Kamloops scene,” said museum curator Matt Macintosh. Old skateboards will be on display and film footage will run on a two-hour loop. Local professionals Derek Swaim, Stacy Gabriel and Matt Berger will be featured on screen alongside those who kickflip and grind at the Kamloops Rotary Skatepark on McArthur Island. DAVE EAGLES/KTW Matt Macintosh holds a 1980s-era Skull Skates board, one of several vintage skateboards on display at the Kamloops Museum and Archives in the new second-floor exhibit Ground Control. It opens tomorrow.

Macintosh said skateboarding popularity ebbs and flows and its origins are debatable. “People have been rolling around on things mounted on wheels for a very long time,” he said, estimating it kicked off in the 1930s. It grew in the 1960s and gained widespread exposure in the 1990s, courtesy of the X Games. Sorley got his taste for skateboarding at Expo 86. ‘That’s where it all

started for me,” he said. While Macintosh said skateboarding is not at peak popularity right now, each time it goes away “it’s culture has gotten a little nuanced or deeper.” He described the local scene as inclusive, friendly and highly developed. “It circulates a lot around the park [McArthur Island],” he said. Sorley agreed, noting the park attracts demos from California. “It’s a main stop on any tour,” Sorley said.

ABSTRACT LEGACY

Hip hop to benefit Phoenix Centre

Canadian artist Claude Tousignant believed the paintings he created should go back “to its source — where only painting remains, emptied of extraneous matter — to the point at which painting is pure sensation.” One of his works, the Tousignant Ovale, is now creating its own sensation hanging on Student Street in the Old Main Building of Thompson Rivers University, courtesy of a five-year loan from the Kamloops Art Gallery. The multi-coloured abstract, eight feet by 16 feet, was too large to be displaced at the gallery and its late executive director, Jann Bailey, approached the university to see if it had space that would accommodate it. The work is above the Starbucks cafe near the visual-arts studios. Tousignant, 83, continues to create art at his home in Montreal, following his belief nothing should interfere with the viewer’s sensation of colour.

Local creator vies for support in competition DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Former Kamloopsian Ben Dextraze is hoping his friends and colleagues in the River City will vote for his entry in Storyhive, a Telus competition to help emerging content creators in B.C. and Alberta. Dextraze, now based in Vancouver, said he has been work-

“

There is suddenly a lot of craft beer in British Columbia. But why only now?

”

— BEN DEXTRAZE

ing for the past year on a documentary project focused on craft beer production in B.C. While the documentary, The Art of the Craft, focuses on the Lower Mainland

and the growth of craft breweries there — it’s expected there will be 40 by the end of this year — he has also talked to people across the country and in the U.S. “There is suddenly

a lot of craft beer in British Columbia,” Dextraze said. “But why only now? By looking back over history and culture to the very origins of beer, The Art of Craft searches for answers as to why small-scale brewing disappeared in B.C., only to come back now.” One highlight of the work is the rejuvenating hops industry in Lillooet, he said, but

his plan is to take a look at the entire beer industry from coast to coast and globally, as current beer styles are global. “Tracing beer’s development through Europe to North America and then B.C., we’ll get a glimpse into how our thirst for beer became industrialized and then prohibited,” Dextraze said. “Next, we look at how our government

was entrusted to moderate and control beer and alcohol and how the effects of that control created a monopoly for big brewers, which changed with B.C.’s first craft brewery. “Lastly, by threading the present through the past, we’ll see how changing liquor laws could effect B.C.’s brewing: when could too much good beer become bad for you?”

The Telus competition will see the company give 30 winners $10,000 grants to proceed with their projects. It’s a vote-based contest that ends this week. The pitch video for Dextraze can be seen at http://www.storyhive.com/project/show/ id/1117. People can vote daily for up to five projects.

Reduce food waste to save money ROSE SONEFF

ver opened the fridge to find a container that looks more like a science experiment than something edible? Have some cans in your pantry been there so long the dust on top could be measured in millimetres? With food prices steadily rising, now is a good time to look at how we can reduce food waste. Plan meals before you shop. Check out the Healthy Families BC website for ideas on how to get organized and plan ahead. For example, go through your fridge and cupboards to see what you have on hand. Post the

HealthyFamilies BC meal-planning sheet to tell your family what meals are prepared. Use recipes to ensure buying the right amount of an ingredient on your grocery list. The bulk section helps. If the item is packaged in an amount more than needed, make more of that recipe and freeze what is left or use the ingredient in another recipe.

Store food properly

Use the Store It! guide. Extra effort to store vegetables and fruit properly goes a long way to reduce spoilage and save money. Today some fruit and vegetables cost the same per pound as some fresh meat or fish. I recently saw red peppers for $4.98/ lb., while beef inside round was $4.84/lb. Different foods

6:00PM ~ 5 COURSES

Place these items on a tray or bin so they can be pulled out more easily and you can see what is on hand to use.

Organize cupboards

A friend once told me how her father used to make leftover night more interesting. He would list the leftovers on a board and take orders. They

Canned goods or packages can get pushed into deep corners and forgotten about.

Make use of leftovers

Portion leftovers in individual containers for lunches. If you have a lot of leftovers, freeze them in a clear container labelled with the date and name of the leftover. As a reminder, jot down the leftover name on your menu plan for the next week. Leftovers can be incorporated into casseroles, stir fry, frittata, soups and smoothies.

Get creative

would set the table with nice placemats, napkins and serve the food on fancier plates. Instead of dreading leftovers, the family

looked forward to this special meal. With a little planning, you can help reduce waste, save money and maybe

even start a new family tradition. Rose Soneff is a public health dietician with Interior Health Authority.

have different storage requirements. That dusty can of food does have a shelf life of two to five years, depending on whether it contains a high or low acid food. Storage information is available on HealthLink BC’s website Food Safety: Storing. Large amounts of bread or meat can be frozen in smaller quantities. Use special freezer containers or bags that reduce the air in the container to prevent freezer burn. If you have a large freezer, deplete the contents of the freezer at least once a year. That way, you can start freezing fresh items again.

Dogs diamonds in the rough Tobin Huffman is one of three Grade 12 Kamloops RiverDogs on a young squad aiming to return to the midget AAA provincial baseball final. The season starts this weekend.

MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

on’t sleep on the Kamloops RiverDogs. They took a young team to the brink of gold in 2015 and they want to do it again. “Our philosophy is we start as a certain team to begin the year and finish as a different team at the end of the year,” said RiverDogs’ manager Sean Wandler, who is entering his 17th season in charge. “That’s the way we look at it. That’s what happened last year. Hopefully, we can repeat that.” The RiverDogs open the 2016 regular season this weekend on McArthur Island with a pair of tilts on Canada Games Field.

Defending-champion Ridge Meadows is in town on Saturday, with game time set for 1 p.m., and Cloverdale will be here on Sunday for a 10 a.m. start. With seven Grade 10s, three Grade 11s and four Grade 12s, Kamloops finished 28-14 last year and reached the midget AAA provincial baseball championship final, but fell victim to a bad hop late in the game in a 2-1 loss to heavily favoured Ridge Meadows. Looking for revenge and anchoring the team in 2016 will be three seniors, Lucas Lott, Tobin Huffman and Vincent Daley, who replace graduated RiverDogs Riley Jepson, Bryant Jameus, Connor McKenzie and Lance Martin. “It’ll be tough because we lost some really key offensive guys,” Wandler said. “At the plate, it’s

going to be a question mark. “Ideally, if you can get your pitching and defence going, you don’t need a lot of runs to win baseball games.” Grade 11s Christian McCauley and Hayden Bennett are expected to step up and take spots in the starting pitching rotation, while Rhys McKenzie will start where he left off at second base (the only returning middle infielder) and Wyatt Trent will be back in the outfield. There will be growing pains, with seven Grade 10s — Ethan Senger, Jared Pringle, Grayden Baker, Brendan Mucha, Dylan Kooistra, Trey Alec and Bailey English — set to take the field, each of them graduates of the bantam AAA RiverDogs’ program. “Our big thing is development,” Wandler said. “There are a

Clean slate for Venom MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

They just want a calm, nice year, says Kamloops Venom general manager Brandon Pittman. The problem: A calm, nice year in the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League (TOJLL) is akin to a quiet night at Johnny Manziel’s house — they’re few and far between. There have been changes in the Snake Pit, though, and perhaps a fresh start will bring with it less drama than recent years. “We just want to play, really,” said Pittman, the successor to outgoing GM Jan Antons, who was named the league’s executive of the year in 2015. “We did a lot of recruiting this year. We talked to a lot of players down at the Coast and we convinced them pretty much to stay home.” The Venom’s home- and season-opening contest against the Kelowna Raiders is scheduled for Saturday at Memorial Arena. The beer garden opens 30 minutes before the action gets underway at 7:30 p.m. Disputes over player-eligibility rules, team representatives refusing to speak to and allegedly threatening media, the banning of noisemakers and the trashing of dressing rooms and city property are among the off-floor incidents that grabbed TOJLL headlines in 2014 and 2015.

Goaltender Dalan Etter and the Kamloops Venom begin the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League season on Saturday against Kelowna at Memorial Arena. Game time is 7:30 p.m.

That is the bad, but there has been plenty of good, perhaps most notably the on-floor rivalry between the Venom and Vernon Tigers. In 2015, the teams met for the fifth time in six years in the TOJLL final, with the Venom edging the hometown Tigers 15-14 at Kal Tire Place in the fifth and deciding game of the series. Vernon had recovered from a 2-0 series deficit to force Game 5 and was one win away from its third consecutive TOJLL championship. The Venom posted a 1-3 record and placed last among four teams at the provincial junior b lacrosse championship in Victoria last year, their

only victory coming against the host Westshore Bears. Kamloops finished the 2015 regular season with a record of 7-8-1 and dispatched the favoured South Okanagan Flames (10-6-0) in five games in their semifinal series. Vernon rolled through regular-season play last year with a 16-0 record and is again expected to contend for the title, while Pittman is pegging Kelowna to bounce back from a dismal 1-14-1 campaign. “The Tigers, they have all their top guns back,” Pittman said. “Vernon and Kelowna should be the toughest. South Okanagan lost a couple key guys.”

The Armstrong Shamrocks, who posted a 5-11 mark last year, round out the five-team league. Kamloops was coached last season by Justin Bosher, who is no longer with the team. The Venom will be coached by committee in 2016, with Pittman, Andy Hebden, Brad Henry and Trent Polacik helping out behind the bench. The Venom nearly folded last season due to a lack of numbers, but seem to have plenty of bodies this season. Pittman has already made cuts and plans to carry 25 players. Key losses for the Venom include Jerome Thorne and Blaine Boomer, both of whom have aged out of junior lacrosse. Kyle Pauwels received the team’s Governor’s Award last year, having led Kamloops in scoring during the playoffs and provincial championship. He is currently playing NCAA Division 1 field lacrosse for the Pfeiffer Falcons of North Carolina. Among the returnees expected to carry the load are Riley Peterson, Tylor Seabrooke, Riley Polacik, Ryan Emery and Brady Georget. Matt Hans and Dalan Etter will handle goaltending duties, with Mitch Horsman having graduated. “We have a young team this year,” Pittman said. “All the teams are looking pretty good and it should be a good year.”

PUB OWNERS LAMENTING NHL PLAYOFF PICTURE

ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Al Deacon, perhaps more than most hockey fans north of the 49th parallel, was hoping to see at least one Canadian team in the NHL playoffs. The owner of the Fox’n Hounds Pub, Deacon knew the impact an all-American run to the Stanley Cup would have on his Sahali Mall business. The first week of the post-season has played out more or less as he expected — the lack of Canadian franchises in first-round contention has “without question” impacted business, Deacon said. By the time the playoffs are over, he may be faced with as much as a 20 per cent loss. “When their team was playing — which is the Jets, or the Leafs, or the Habs, or the Canucks — people were sticking around and waiting for the final outcome, not just updates,” Deacon said. Hockey fans are now just as content to get scores on their phones, he said, leaving the pub midway through periods or failing to show up at all. “We were hoping there was going to be at least one,” Deacon continued. “It wasn’t the case this year. We just hope for better luck next year.” Deacon’s isn’t the only establishment feeling the pinch this post-season. KTW spoke with a handful of pubs and eateries across Kamloops, all of which con-

curred business isn’t what it could be. Most knew once the last Canadian team was eliminated from playoff contention, a portion of their business would disappear entirely. “Right now, there are only so many U.S. fans out there that are following,” said Sanjay Kosmadia, a manager at Shark Club. “People do still come and watch the playoffs, but its not to the level, obviously, of if the Canucks were in, Calgary, Montreal, Toronto, those guys.” “There’s not a huge interest,” echoed Dorothy Randle, manger at the Rock’n Firkin Pub and Grill on the North Shore. Her pub is maybe half as full as it was last year. “There are some people that are asking, but it’s minimal compared to prior years, for sure.” Industry experts expected decreased viewership in 2016, but the degree has, perhaps, come as the biggest shock. In an article earlier this week, The Hockey News revealed a 61 per cent drop in firstround viewership of CBC and Sportsnet in Canada. Nearly a million fewer fans are watching than when the Winnipeg Jets, Vancouver Canucks, Calgary Flames, Montreal Canadiens and Ottawa Senators were all vying for Lord Stanley’s mug in 2015. An April poll by the Angus Reid Institute found 54 per cent of those who normally watch the NHL playoffs planned to watch less this year, if they chose to tune in at all.

Rogers Communications is still expecting a 10 per cent return on its NHL rights investment, however. It’s a drop from 2015’s profits, but profit still. “It will absolutely, definitely, without any shadow of a doubt, make profit, period,” Rogers Communications CEO Guy Laurence told reporters Tuesday, following the company’s annual general meeting. “Trust me, it makes money. We’re happy with it.” It’s unlikely all seven of Canada’s teams will miss the playoffs again next season — prior to 2016, it hadn’t happened since 1970. In the meantime, the recent success of the Blue Jays has helped Rogers recoup some of its profit losses. The same goes for pubs around Kamloops. The Toronto Raptors being in the NBA playoffs has helped marginally, too. So, while local businesses are feeling the effects of a Canadian hiatus from playoff hockey, one quiet year won’t spell disaster. “I think, eventually, we’ll recover from it because if we ran solely off of hockey, that would be pretty scary,” Randle said. “There’s huge interest for baseball and football and all that. Some of the other sports in the world are doing OK. Soccer has taken off and is pretty big now. Rugby. “So. there are lots of other avenues to go down.” — With files from Postmedia Network

LONDON — Defending the integrity of athletics ahead of Sunday’s London Marathon, Kenyan runners insisted they run clean and don’t need to resort to doping in the pursuit of glory. “It’s a noble sport,’’ Eliud Kipchoge said as he prepares to defend his London title. “We are really working hard in training and I can assure the general public that we are really clean as athletes. That’s why we love this sport and what actually is driving us to run very well is the love of sport. “People are really clean and working hard. I invite you guys to Kenya. Come to our training camps.’’ Kenyan officials have been in a sprint of their own to avoid the country being declared noncomplaint by the World AntiDoping Agency if improvements aren’t made by May 2. Forty Kenyans have been banned for doping since the 2012 Olympics in London. And WADA demanded Kenya strengthen its overall anti-doping program after the surge in doping cases and allegations of extortion and coverups by top track federation officials. IAAF President Sebastian Coe had warned Kenya could join Russia in being banned from international competitions by track and field’s governing body. But Kenyan lawmakers this week passed a law criminal-

izing doping, one of WADA’s key demands. “The president has signed and it’s the law,’’ Kipchoge said. “That’s what WADA was waiting for in Kenya. So we are safe.’’ In Sunday’s 36th London Marathon, the Kenyans are hoping there is no backlash against them from race-watchers given the focus on doping scandals in recent months. “There’s a wrong perception,’’ said Wilson Kipsang, who won the 2012 and 2014 London Marathons. “Sport is not special or unlike any other activity, it’s just like crime. You find a society where there are one or two criminals, that doesn’t mean that the whole society are criminals. Just like in sport, doping or cheat is a crime, yes, but that doesn’t mean all athletes, all sport is rotten. “We have a body doing the testing all through. All these

guys have been tested through like seven or eight times, in competition, out of competition. We should trust the results. Once the results come out and these guys are clean, then the whole world should trust they are clean.’’ Before they answered questions about the integrity of athletics and the damage caused by doping scandals, an irritated London Marathon official had interjected. “There’s an undue focus about athletics,’’ said news conference host Tim Hutchings, a British middle and longdistance runner turned broadcaster who has been calling marathons in the United States for NBC. “There’s a gross over-perception,’’ added Hutchings, “an inaccurate perception about that problem against Kenyan distance-runners.’’

Shaw apologizes for gay slur ANDREW SELIGMAN

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO — Blackhawks forward Andrew Shaw is apologizing for yelling an anti-gay slur after he was sent to the penalty box during Chicago’s loss to St. Louis. In a statement released by the team, Shaw said he is “sincerely sorry for the insensitive remarks.’

He apologized to the gay and lesbian community, fans and his team for his “hurtful’’ words and promised to learn from his mistake. Shaw was sent off

for interference at 17:56 of the third period, hurting Chicago’s chance for a comeback in what ended up being a 4-3 loss. While sitting in the box, Shaw directed the slur toward someone on the ice. The Blackhawks said they were disappointed in Shaw, but did not indicate whether he might be punished. The NHL

is investigating. Chicago trails the Blues 3-1 in the firstround playoff series and can be eliminated tonight by St. Louis. Also on the NHL slate tonight: Anaheim against Nashville, the Predators leading the series 2-1; Pittsburgh versus New York, with the Pens up 2-1; and Tampa Bay looking to beat Detroit to clinch a 4-1 series victory.

Browns acquire No. 2 pick THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHILADELPHIA — The Eagles have acquired the No. 2 overall pick in next week’s NFL Draft from Cleveland in exchange for five picks. The Browns are getting Philadelphia’s first-round pick

this year (No. 8), a third-round pick (No. 77) and fourth-rounder (No. 100), plus a first-rounder in 2017 and a fourth-rounder in 2018. Cleveland also sends a fourth-round pick in 2017 to the Eagles. The trade presumably allows

Philadelphia to select one of the top quarterback prospects, Carson Wentz of North Dakota State or Jared Goff of California at No. 2. The Los Angeles Rams already acquired the top overall pick from Tennessee for a slew of picks and have indicated they will take a quarterback.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Jean Rogers Norma Evelyn Jean Rogers died peacefully on April 13, 2016. Born on December 31, 1919, she was raised on a wheat farm near the small town of Justice, Manitoba. Growing up in Southern Manitoba shaped her personality and values. At an early age her special talent for piano was identified. Although she completed all stages of the Royal Conservatory Classical Music Program, her special talent was in popular music. By 13 she was playing in a local band, always chaperoned by her father Norman. She attended normal school at 17 and became a teacher at a small elementary school. In 1940 she met Mac Rogers and they were married on August 2, 1941. Mac’s allergy to ragweed caused Mac and Jean to move into Winnipeg where Jim and Jocelyn were born and Mac’s son Robert visited often from Carberry. In 1947 the family moved to Victoria, BC where John and Susan joined the family. In 1953 the family relocated to Kamloops where Mac worked for the City. Cindy joined the family in 1959. Although Jean had a full workload raising five children, she taught piano to hundreds of Kamloops’ children. She also loved to bake and can and her grandchildren always looked forward to her apple pies, cookies and butter pickles. From 1960 to 1976 summers at the cabins on Little Shuswap Lake were a joyous retreat where many family and friends visited. In 1989 Mac died after 48 years of marriage. Two years later, Jean reconnected with her Brandon Normal School sweetheart, Alec Chandler until his passing in 1993. Jean wrote that one of the biggest surprises in her life was that she had to adapt to living

alone for 25 years, but she still found joy in life and in simple pleasures of each day. In 2000 Jean moved to Summerland where she played bridge, shared her gift of music and enjoyed the LaVista community. Jean’s faith was strong throughout her entire life and her family always joked that she had a hotline to heaven. In times of need, her advice was often ‘To let go and let God.’ In 2012, her health required her to relocate to Westview Extended Care. Although initially reluctant, she came to enjoy the social life and caring community of Westview. Almost to the last she continued to play the piano and could perform and sing hundreds of musical pieces without music or lyrics. Her children were especially touched by the fact that so many of the staff and former staff from Westview came to say goodbye to Mom during her last few days and expressed their love for her. Jean would also want to express the love she felt for the numerous family members and friends she has left behind.

Sylvia Yvonne Schlichtenhorst of Kamloops, BC passed away on April 5, 2016 at 79 years of age. She is survived by her loving husband Hans Werner Schlichtenhorst, children Zita Totten of Kamloops, Tia (Dave) Wagner of Kamloops, Lia (Shane) Flack of Airdrie, AB, grandchildren Daniel Johnson, Angelina (Terrence) Cresnjar, Ryland, Aidan and Cailen Wagner, Brooklyn, Kaya and Jayla Flack, great-grandchildren Savannah and Melissa Johnson, Sonia and Mya Johnson and Piper Johnson. She will also be missed by her other relatives Suzann (Dan) Griffin, Becky Butler and many nieces and nephews across Canada. Sylvia is predeceased by her parents, four brothers and three sisters. Sylvia was born in New Brunswick; she travelled West as a late teenager to Kamloops where she met her husband. They were married for 49 years and lived in Kamloops. Sylvia was a member of the Royal Purple; owner of Sylvia’s Green Thumb of Westsyde in the 1970’s; she enjoyed camping at Shuswap Lake at Cottonwood Resort and then retiring those camping years at Crystal Forest Resort at Lac La Hache. She loved plants, gardening, card-making, her dogs and visiting with friends. We could list all of mom’s character traits but our mom was amazing and for those that were lucky enough to know her knew that well and for those that did not get a chance to know her you missed out on one fantastic lady.

For those who wish to recognize Jean’s passing, please make a donation to the Sarah McLachlan School of Music (Piano Department), 200 – 138 East 7th Avenue, Vancouver, BC V5T 1M6.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Kamloops Hospice, 72 Whiteshield Crescent S, Kamloops, BC V2E 2S9

Condolences may be shared by visiting www.everdenrust.com.

We will miss you mom. The family would like to give a special thank you to the close friends for their respect, kindness, care and support and to the Kamloops Hospice for their loving care. Mom always said life is for the living hence her wishes were to not have a funeral service.

the fields. When he was convinced to leave it was generally to attend a family gathering, a bull sale or a cattle show.

In Loving Memory of

On July 18, 1980 Hugh and Helen Fraser were blessed with the arrival of their third child, a son, William Alexander (Alex) Fraser. He passed away at home on February 27, 2016 from metastatic melanoma.

Alex attended school in Barriere graduating in 1998. As a teenager Alex was involved in school sports and 4-H. Alex was an 11 year member of the Yellowhead 4-H Club. Alex excelled in 4-H, especially judging, earning top honours numerous times. Alex was well respected by his peers and for his willingness to share all he knew about showing cattle.

1928 – 2016

Alex leaves his wife Diana and their three children Lee (5), Eric (3) and Heidi (1), his parents Hugh and Helen Fraser, his sisters Jennifer Fraser (Burke Nesjan, Julia and Amy) and Heather Fraser (Chris Koch, Hudson and Nicola). He also leaves his father and mother-in-law Joe and Elaine Ward, brother and sisterin-law Mat and Erin Ward (Tyler and Mason). As well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

Like many ranchers, Alex had two jobs. For 13 years, he proudly worked for Stamer Logging running feller buncher, loader, skidder and excavator. Alex was known for his strong work ethic and honesty; he was well respected by his workmates.

He was predeceased by his Grandparents Don and Mary Fraser and Eric and Betty Cox and his brother-inlaw Luke Ward. Alex brought so much joy to his parents and his sisters Jennifer and Heather. Together they spent the childhood years enjoying life on their farm in Squam Bay. He was always outside playing with his sisters or cousins or was somewhere around the farm working with the cattle alongside his Dad, Grandpa or Uncle Dan Fraser. There was never any doubt Alex’s true passion was farming and raising cattle. In 1996 Alex met the love of his life, Diana Ward, and they had built a beautiful life on the ranch. Over their nearly 20 years together they had worked to grow their commercial cattle herd, start a purebred Angus herd, build a beautiful home and raise their three children. Alex was happiest at home spending time with his family, wandering through the cattle or working in

Alex had a great sense of humour, was known for his quick wit and cheekiness, and had the ability to “call it as he saw it” without ever causing people to take offence. It was these traits and others that contributed to Alex’s magnetic personality. Many people called Alex their friend. The family would like to thank all the friends and family who provided support through Alex’s illness. Special thanks to Dr. Michael Humphries and his team at the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Cancer Care Clinic and Dr. Ruth Farren of Kamloops. Please join us for a Celebration of Alex’s Life and a tea on April 29, 2016 at 12:00 pm at the Barriere Curling Rink. Following the celebration, the family invites all to join them at the ranch for beef on a bun and to share stories.

Roy Thomas Partridge Roy passed away peacefully on April 18, 2016 at the age of 91 at Kamloops Seniors Village. Roy is fondly remembered by his children Sandra (Chris), Gordon (Brenda), Pamela (Ken), as well as seven grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by his wife of 41 years Alice in 1991. Also predeceased by his brother Austin, sister Doreen and stepson Gary. Roy was born in Drewsteignton, Devon, England January 7, 1925 and moved to Canada with his family when he was only 2 years old. He spent his younger years growing up on a ranch in the foothills of Alberta just north of Lundbrick. The family moved to BC in 1937. He proudly served his country during World War II with 122 Marine Squadron as a seaman on “G” MTB type boats both on patrol and in Air-Sea rescues. He maintained his membership in the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 52 after the war and recently received recognition for being a member for 70 continuous years. Roy married Alice in Mission, BC in 1949 then moved to Kamloops, where he was employed by CP Rail until his retirement in 1985. He loved his family dearly including all the time he got to play and fish with his grandchildren. Even as he struggled with dementia in his final years the sight or sound of a young child always brought a big smile to his face. Roy lived most of life in Kamloops on his property located down the Old Hudson Bay Trail, in the area know as Dufferin. He served his community as a Regional Director, an Alderman of Dufferin and then Mayor of Dufferin. He was also on the Mayors Advisory Committee when Dufferin amalgamated with the City of Kamloops in 1973. Before moving to Kamloops Seniors Village he always maintained a big garden and liked working in his yard with his many fruit trees. Roy will be missed by all who knew him, for his kind helping hand, his genuine sense of humor, always being ready with a joke to tell and that piece of candy he would hand out at the end of the talk. The family would like to thank all those involved in Roy’s life at Kamloops Seniors Village for their kind and concerning care they provided our Dad in the final years of his life. Dad requested that in lieu of flowers, those wishing to honor his memory can donate to a charity of their choice. A Memorial Service will be held at Schoenings Funeral Chapel, 513 Seymour St, Kamloops on Saturday April 23, 2016 at 10:00 am.

Advocates: Give Homolka chance to start over CASSANDRA SZKLARSKI

THE CANADIAN PRESS

Convicted killer Karla Homolka did her time and deserves a chance to start over, say advocates dedicated to helping offenders adjust to life after prison. The mere fact Homolka had been living undetected for some time in small-town Quebec suggests the notorious criminal has successfully reintegrated into society, said Kim Pate, executive director of the Canadian Association of Elizabeth Fry Societies. Some parents in Chateauguay have been expressing alarm since word spread that Homolka’s three children were attending school in the community, southwest of Montreal. “If the only reason for concern is because there’s now some awareness of someone’s background, it strikes me as it may or may not be a cause for concern,’’ Pate said. Parents and neighbours should

not judge Homolka too harshly, said Catherine Latimer, executive director of the John Howard Society of Canada. “She got a sentence, she did her time and there’s no reason to believe that she has not been rehabilitated,’’ said Latimer, whose group assists convicts re-entering society. “The question is whether or not she’ll get a chance to be reintegrated.’’ After signing a plea deal implicating her ex-husband Paul Bernardo in the brutal sex slayings of Ontario teenagers Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy, Homolka was sentenced to 12 years in prison for manslaughter. She was released in 2005 and assumed the name Leanne Bordelais, moving with her family to the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe, where she was eventually tracked down by a journalist. In 2014, her sister Logan Valentini testified at Luka Rocco Magnotta’s murder trial that Homolka had moved to Quebec. Valentini, who changed her name from Lori Homolka in 1996,

This failure to support the reintegration can cause a greater risk to communities than not.’’ She finds it particularly troubling to see children of offenders suffer from social attitudes. She fears for the fate of Homolka’s kids. “The impact will be that her children will be harried and isolated and not given an opportunity to be socially integrated in the way you would hope children would be.’’ Pate understands community concerns, but urges parents to consider whether their children are in any real danger. “Is it based on myths and stereotypes or is it based on real risk?’’ Pate asked, noting sex crimes are most likely to be committed by a family member or acquaintance. “If anything positive can come out of it, maybe it’s the opportunity to have very real and positive, progressive discussions rather than focusing on making it more difficult for any of those children.’’

COURTING A NEW SPORT

Work continues on construction of pickleball courts in Riverside Park. The courts will sit between the existing tennis courts on the west side of the park. There was formerly a large mound of grass and trees on the site and the dirt excavated was used to fill in the outdoor pool in McDonald Park, which was demolished last week.

Mom charged in death VICTORIA — A woman from the provincial capital has been charged with firstdegree murder in connection to the death of her 18-month-old daughter. Victoria Police say officers were called to a home early on Sept. 16, 2015, to check on the welfare of the people inside. Police say emergency crews found the young girl and tried to resuscitate her, but the toddler died. The girl’s mother was taken to hospital. Police arrested the mother on Tuesday and charged her with firstdegree murder. Police say details of the case, including the mother’s identity, cannot be released because of a publication ban.

Blame leader WINNIPEG — One of the NDP candidates defeated in the Manitoba election on Tuesday said the party could have won under a different leader. Dave Gaudreau, who lost the St. Norbert seat he held for the last four years, said outgoing Premier Greg Selinger should have stepped down in 2014 when a caucus revolt erupted. Gaudreau said the NDP campaign was flawed because it featured Selinger prominently in advertisements, even though his personal popularity was very low. Other defeated candidates, including Deanne Crothers and Melanie Wight, have not blamed Selinger, and have said the defeat was due to a public desire for change after 16 years of NDP rule. Selinger announced he will step down as party leader and the NDP will find an interim replacement until a leadership convention can be held. The Progressive Conservatives won 40 of the 57 seats in the legislature in the provincial election. — The Canadian Press

THIS SUNDAY! April 24 - 7:30 pm

Coast Kamloops Hotel Theatre Kamloops Live Box Office: (250) 374 5483

OTTAWA — The last sitting senator to owe the Senate money after a critical audit of spending has paid up. Senate records show that as of late Tuesday, Liberal Nick Sibbeston had repaid the Senate $26,924 that he owed for disallowed expenses. A special arbitration process headed by former Supreme Court justice Ian Binnie found

that Sibbeston billed taxpayers for stays in Edmonton en route to and from his home in Fort Simpson, N.W.T. The repayment leaves seven former senators still on the hook for more than $527,000 in questionable expenses that the Senate wants to recoup. Those seven senators have until tomorrow to repay the amounts in full or face the

possibility of being taken to court by the upper chamber. None of the seven, including retired Liberal Rod Zimmer from Manitoba, who owes just over $176,000, opted for the arbitration process the Senate set up for senators who wanted to challenge the findings of last year’s auditor general’s report. — The Canadian Press

“By accessing world markets for Canadian oil, we’ll enjoy increased tax dollars and years of employment.” - Deborah Cahill, President, Electrical Contractors Association of BC

Now more than ever, this project makes sense for Canada and British Columbia. It’s vital we receive the most from our natural resources at a time when our economy needs it most. The Trans Mountain Expansion Project will allow Canadian oil to be delivered to international markets and, as a result, Canada will earn approximately $3.7 billion more a year for our oil. By realizing full value, everyone will benefit. In addition, the expansion will create tens of thousands of jobs over the next 25 years.

KAMLOOPS’ NO. 1 AUTO-BUYERS’ GUIDE

TORONTO — A company that has taken the Airbnb model and adapted it to car rentals launched this week in three provinces, its first foray outside the U.S., though it wrestles with the same insurance headaches that other startups in the so-called sharing economy have faced. Turo, which debuted as RelayRides in 2009 and now operates in more than 2,500 cities, facilitates vehicle rentals between car owners and anyone needing a ride. People in Alberta, Ontario and Quebec hoping to make money from their cars register them online to rent them to other Turo members. Turo determines the rental cost of available vehicles each day based on data like the car’s market value, location and time of year. The company pockets 25 per cent of the rental fee, which includes a charge for the owner’s insurance coverage during the rental. But provincially regu-

A company that has taken the Airbnb model and adapted it to car rentals launched Tuesday in three provinces, its first foray outside the U.S., though it wrestles with the same insurance headaches that other startups in the so-called sharing economy have faced. Turo, which debuted as RelayRides in 2009 and now operates in more than 2,500 cities, facilitates vehicle rentals between car owners and anyone needing a ride.

They can choose to opt out of insurance, or add basic or premium coverage when renting — at 15 or 40 per cent of the trip’s price. Any claims that arise from a Turo car rental have no impact on the owner’s personal insurance, said

Peer-to-peer car rental company Turo launches in Alberta, Ontario and Quebec Stephanie Sorensen, director of external communications and corporate social responsibility for Intact. But it’s not so simple for people looking to rent out their cars, as insurance companies grapple with how to provide coverage. Only car owners insured by Intact Insurance and Belairdirect who live in those three provinces can list their vehicles on Turo. The insurers have modified their offerings to allow their customers to rent out their vehicles, said Mathieu. “Moving forward, we are working with other leading Canadian insurers to modify their terms and conditions to enable their customers to also participate in peer-to-peer car sharing,’’ he said. The company also plans to move to other provinces and is “working with each province’s unique insurance laws and regulatory framework to make this happen,’’ said Mathieu.

Insurance issue could prove problematic commercial licence. Airbnb, which allows people to rent a portion or all of their home to travellers, hit a stumbling block when some homeowners complained their places were trashed. One Calgary family, for example, was left with $75,000 in damage following a raging house party. Airbnb, which offers up to $1 million for property damage in certain situations, said it would pay for the repairs.

GM to phase out unsafe cars

THE CANADIAN PRESS

DETROIT — General Motors Co. has announced it will phase out cars without air bags and other safety features after its Chevrolet Sail subcompact flunked a crash test in Latin America. The Latin New Car Assessment Program — an independent testing organization — said last week the Sail received zero stars in its latest tests. The organization said the Sail is unstable and has no air bags. It also lacks three-point seat belts in all positions. The Sail is made in China and exported to emerging markets. It has a starting price of less than $10,000. It’s one of several Chevrolet cars that have done poorly on the tests. The Aveo, Spark and Agile cars without air bags also have gotten zero stars on Latin NCAP’s tests. Many other brands — including Chery, Geely, Hyundai, Nissan, Fiat and Renault — also sell cars that have gotten zero stars in the group’s crash tests. Alejandro Furas, Latin NCAP’s secretary general, said GM should follow the example of Honda, Toyota and Volkswagen.
