Fines, points to increase B.C. NEAR TOP IN NATION FOR DISTRACTED-DRIVING PENALTIES CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A first offence for checking your phone while driving will cost B.C. drivers $543 when new penalties take effect June 1. The fine for distracted driving goes up from $167 to $368, and drivers will also be assessed four penalty points, triggering another $175 charge. The combination results in a total penalty of $888 for a second offence within a year of the first. Public Safety Minister Mike Morris said the new penalties put B.C. near the top of distracted driving fines for Canadian provinces. Two tickets in a year will also trigger an automatic

review by the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles that could result in licence suspension. Public consultation over the past year found support for a tougher approach. “A lot of the input that we had indicated even higher penalties than that,” Morris said. Transportation Minister Todd Stone said the public awareness campaigns have not convinced enough people of the dangers of trying to use mobile phones or other devices without hands-free services. “Imagine trying to drive the length of a football field while you’re blindfolded,” Stone said. Central Saanich Police Chief Les Sylven, president of the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police,

reminded drivers that being at a stop light or stuck in a traffic jam does not mean the distracted driving penalties don’t apply. NDP public safety critic Mike Farnworth said the government didn’t need to take a year to increase one of the lowest distracted driving penalty systems in the country, and giving the superintendent discretion over multiple repeat offenders doesn’t send a clear enough message. “Frankly, I think that if you get more than three in the course of the year, there should be no ‘may’ about it, you will lose your licence,” Farnworth said. Distracted and inattentive driving was a factor in the deaths of 66 people and injuries to 630 in B.C. in 2014.

Council to be hen-pecked today ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

Chicken is back on the menu at Kamloops City Hall. City council will decide today whether to take a series of new rules concerning urban hens to a public hearing — the first step toward legalizing backyard poultry in the Tournament Capital. According to a staff report, the rules would restrict residents on lots under one acre to having between two and five chickens. Roosters and chicks would not be allowed. The new rules also lay out coop and fencing requirements for the chickens, including a “fully enclosed indoor area” to protect the hens from other

animals, a nesting box for each hen and a fullyfenced backyard. Residents with urban chickens would need to register their animals with the city and would not be allowed to sell eggs or meat from the animals. Approving urban hens isn’t without a cost. Social and community development supervisor Jen Casorso said city will need about $10,000 to set up the program. The money would be used to train bylaw officers to enforce the new rules and to create facilities to impound any birds who fly their owners’ coops — a chicken pound of sorts. Staff are also proposing an education campaign for would-be hen owners, to teach them about how to best set up their animals.

FIRE SEASON BEGINS IN KAMLOOPS

Kamloops firefighters were called out to Cooney Bay near Tranquille on the Lake before 5 a.m. Sunday to douse a stubborn four-acre grass fire. There were no reported injuries, nor any reported damage to structures as firefighters managed to put out the fire amid heavy winds. Kamloops Fire Rescue had two firefighters on scene yesterday to ensure the last embers burned out safely. There is no word on the cause of the blaze. More photos are online at kamloopsthisweek.com.

Here’s how you can help Fort Mac fire victims There are dozens of agencies and companies working to help those impacted by the wildfire that has devastated Fort McMurray. And, as is the case when natural disasters bring about a plethora of fundraising efforts, scam artists can and will try to deceive people trying to do a good deed. For that reason, those wishing to donate cash to the relief effort can consider one source: the Canadian Red Cross. The national relief agency is accepting donations and the federal government will match each donation, dollar for dollar. Donations can be made online at donate. redcross.ca. Donations of $5 can also be made each time you text REDCROSS to 30333 on your cellphone. • For those in Kamloops wishing to donate material goods, consider any of the city’s new vehicle dealers, all of which are accepting donations.

Every new-vehicle dealership in the city will have a vehicle or space set aside to accept donations of non-perishable food items, water, clothing, blankets, medical supplies, baby supplies and pet food/supplies, all of which be shipped to Alberta to help those in need. • There is more help for wildfire evacuees from Fort McMurray who may be travelling through Kamloops. A group called Kamloops Pit Stop is working on finding an official distribution centre for donations. In the interim, Get Polished Nails and Accessories at 519 Victoria St. is offering space as a drop off-point for donations. There will also be a list of services offered and people willing to put evacuees up temporarily. Pit Stop volunteers have also been in the parking lot of Walmart, collecting donations in a marked trailer. Donations needed include non-perishable

foods, toiletries, gift cards for gas, restaurants, grocery stores, drug stores, etc., plus some clothing and other items people use on their travels. For more information, visit the Facebook Kamloops Pit Stop page. • Government liquor stores are also accepting cash donations for the Red Cross. As of yesterday, after five days of accepting donations, more than $240,000 has been raised. • Meanwhile, a Kamloops Youth Soccer Association’s U13 girls’ house team, the Wildfire, raised money during the weekend’s Mike Bartram Memorial Youth Soccer Tournament, which took place on McArthur Island. The idea was the brainchild of team member Khaiya McFayden-Godin and resulted in the team collecting $3,300 for the Canadian Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund.

LOCAL NEWS BC SPCA’S NEW SHELTER IN BROCKLEHURST

$3.6 million down, $1.2 million left to raise ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The BC SPCA hopes to open a new animal shelter in Kamloops by next summer — if it can raise $1.2 million to make the project happen by fall. At its annual Fur Ball fundraiser on the weekend, the SPCA announced it has raised much of the cash needed to build a $4.8-million shelter on Tranquille Road near Kamloops Airport, including $1.3 million in funding from the B.C. government. CEO Craig Daniell said he’s optimistic the remaining $1.2 million can be raised quickly enough to break ground on the project before the end of the year.

The Kamloops SPCA is currently on Eighth Street in North Kamloops and has been plagued by space issues. “We’ve already had some conversations with some foundations, as well as some donors, who’ve expressed interest in providing some significant support,” Daniell said. While the SPCA’s existing shelter has struggled with ringworm outbreaks in the past, Daniell said proper ventilation and a much larger footprint will make it less likely the building would undergo a quarantine, as it did twice in 2012 and 2013. “The current facility is really old and it was never built as an animal shelter in the

first place, and because of those two factors we often have significant outbreaks of disease,” he said. “It’s very difficult to control that in the current shelter.” The new 10,000-square-foot shelter would include a large spay and neuter clinic, a room for small animals, more room for youth programming and improvements in housing for cats and dogs awaiting adoption, Daniell said. “We’re going to be able to house our dogs in more of an apartment-style structure, which will allow more than one dog to be housed together. We know that dogs are social animals, so that’s going to be one of the first things we’ll be wanting to do,” he said.

Cats, meanwhile, will have outdoor and indoor space, which Daniell said will promote better feline health. The space will also house more cats than the current shelter. While the number of dogs sheltered at SPCAs around B.C. is dropping, Daniell said, the number of cats has stayed high and steady. To learn more about the shelter campaign, go online to spca.bc.ca/ kamloopscares.

A 19-year-old who broke conditions of his conditional sentence following a high-speed car chase during which he drove down the wrong lane of the TransCanada Highway will be returned to the care of the ministry rather than go to prison. Tristan Olson was given a six-month conditional sentence earlier this year after pleading guilty to charges, including fleeing from police and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. He was given a sixmonth conditional sentence, including terms that he remain at home. The incident, while Olson was on bail conditions, included leading police on a car chase. It ended when he drove over an RCMP spike belt on Highway 5 North. Olson fled, but was arrested hiding under a tarp. Crown prosecutor Oliver Potestio said Olson was found by

police as a passenger in a stolen vehicle and arrested by employees of a hardware store in Hope, in two different incidents during his conditional sentence. He has been in custody since his latest arrest on April 13. Provincial court judge Chris Cleaveley opted not to require Olson to serve the remainder of the sixmonth term in jail. Instead, Olson will be released into the care of the Ministry of Children and Family Development. He is a ward of the state and will live under 24-hour monitoring by the ministry in a specially designated suite in Kamloops. “If you breach, you’ll be in jail,” Cleaveley warned.

RCMP busts familiar address On Friday, April 29, Kamloops Mounties raced to a home on 13th Street on the North Shore after receiving reports of shots being fired. It turned out the shots were actually fireworks being set off on the home’s balcony. Exactly one week later, at 1:30 a.m. on Friday, May 6, police returned to the address as part of a two-home search-warrant mission that led to the seizure of crack cocaine, powder cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine. Cpl, Jodie Shelkie said six people were arrested in the operation, with a 41-year-old man now in custody and charges of possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking recommended. Shelkie said the amount of drugs seized indicates they were meant for trafficking. Last Friday, police were called to the same address on 13th Street at 11:45 a.m. for the shotsfired call. They ended up arresting a man wanted on a warrant and seizing methamphetamine.

First Nations finish review of Ajax ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A 46-member panel of Tk’emlups and Skeetchestn Indian Band members heard its final presentations on Friday, but a recommendation on whether the two bands should support the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine is many weeks away. Speaking to media, Tk’emlups Chief Fred Seymour said it will take one or two months before the panel members — who include youth, elders and family representatives from the two bands and are collectively known as Stk’emlupsemc te Secwepemc Nation (SSN) — will provide recommendations on the mine. A decision by the bands is expected on June 21, National Aboriginal Day, but Seymour hinted that deadline could shift now that Ajax proponent KGHM has been granted an extension by the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office.

The provincial agency paused the province’s 180-day review of the project to give KGHM an open-ended extension to respond to more than 2,000 public comments on the project. Asked whether SSN will also delay its decision, Seymour responded: “Time is not of the essence. We’re a really patient people. You can hang that dollar in front of us and we’re not going to jump for it.” The final day of the band’s five days of hearings, which included scientists, elders, traditional knowledge keepers and KGHM itself, focused mainly on the economics of the project. Reporters were not permitted to attend the hearings in the Tk’emlups Indian Band’s Arbour. Seymour said the panel will need to decide how to balance the proposed mine’s possible benefits with environmental concerns. “We define rich differently,” he said. “For us, it is to be rich in medicinal plants, fresh water,

clean air and animals for sustenance hunting.” On the possibility of jobs from the mine, he added: “We know the economy’s slow, but we can’t be dependant on this one project.” Seymour said an auditor general’s report released earlier this week, which slammed the province for failing to properly monitor mines, shows the SSN is right to conduct its own review of Ajax. “This is why we set up our own process,” he said. “We found the B.C., as well as the federal government process, severely wanting.” In September of last year, the SSN filed a title claim in B.C. Supreme Court to lands owned by KGHM Ajax, including Jacko Lake and the adjacent area south of Aberdeen, as a means of objecting to plans to develop the area for the proposed copper and gold mine. On June 21, 2015, the two bands made a Declaration of Title at Jacko Lake, which they call Pípsell.

TEXTING, DRIVING WILL EMPTY WALLET

On Ajax, council’s role is to ask for mitigation work

pparently, all those covert actions by police at intersections, where an officer will pose as a vagabond seeking donations from drivers, are not working well enough. Nor, apparently, has the province’s public-awareness campaign been enough for drivers to get the message. So, the provincial government has decided to attack that which many of us hold more dearly than much else — cold, hard cash. Distracted driving fines and penalties will rise dramatically as of June 1, placing British Columbia near the top in the nation when it comes to the cost of getting caught texting while behind the wheel. The fine now for distracted driving (essentially playing with your cellphone) is $167. It will rise to a whopping $368, plus be accompanied by four penalty points attached to your licence, bringing the hit to $543. Get caught twice in a 12-month span and that fine combination rises to $888, while initiating an automatic review by the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles that could result in licence suspension. And, yes, the ban on using cellphones while driving applies to when you are stopped at a traffic light, while parked on the highway in a traffic jam and, even while parked in a fast-food drive-thru lineup. The province means business, with Public Safety Minister Mike Morris noting at yesterday’s announcement that the new fine amounts could have been higher had government adopted the more severe recommendations gleaned from public consultations. According to government statistics, driving while distracted was a factor in the deaths of 66 people in 2014. Another 630 people were injured in motor-vehicle accidents for the same reason. It has been a long time since driving while drinking was even remotely tolerated and the penalties that accompany such actions are severe. It appears as though distracted driving is cruising into that same territory.

ur trip to Ontario and Quebec last week provided councillors Tina Lange, Denis Walsh and myself a varied look at what mine companies can and can’t reasonably do to mitigate their operations on nearby neighbourhoods, some of which mines literally surround. Even though we were all looking at the same operation on the same day, I think it’s safe to say we interpreted what was going on differently. I’m really not surprised by this as my couple of Facebook posts from the trip showed the same thing happening with people who viewed my photos of the mines. I had posted a few pictures with a very brief description of what people were looking at. Judging by the comments, people who saw the post thought the pictures were either meant to demonstrate the bad of mining or the good of the operations. Although none of the sites or cities we visited represent the exact scenario as Ajax to Kamloops, there were some good takeaways for me to consider as we await more information on KGHM’s Ajax proposal. For me, there has always been two parts to this application as a local government official. We certainly have an obligation to weigh in with a comment of support or non-support of this proposal. However, given we don’t ultimately make the decision, I feel it is also our responsibility to look into and request certain mitigation measures if the application is ultimately approved. Simply repeating “no” will not ensure strong mitigation and monitoring measures if the application is approved. Over the course of the various meetings and site visits in Ontario and Quebec, a few things started to become apparent. It seemed some of the items we worry about in Kamloops would be easier to control and be less of a problem as I would have thought. I’ve paid more attention on my return to everyday noise that we encounter to determine whether noise generated by the mines was greater. Frankly, I have found the

rumblings of trains in Kamloops to be more noticeable than the noise in the mining towns we visited. In fact, Walsh and I went to Malartic, Que., at about 10:30 p.m. on the first evening to experience what nighttime operations sounded like. We were both surprised that there was no noticeable noise as we walked around 400 metres and one kilometre from the mine. Even the blast-warning siren in Timmins, Ont., is actually the same siren we use at Hillside Stadium to warn people when the water cannons to cool the turf are about to fire. We also talked to many in

CITY HALL blasting out East who felt that given Ajax’s distance to the nearest homes, blasts could easily be adapted. Now, they also all recognized we have other soil conditions and groundwater concerns, so this is not a guarantee. But they certainly felt that designed correctly, blasts should not be felt and at the least not cause damage. As I sat at home on Sunday night, two blocks from the CP mainline, I realized I was feeling the train more than I had any of the blasts during our tour. Dust was another item that all we talked to agreed would be the most difficult to control. The mines we visited have all done a very good job of controlling dust, but there is still some dust that migrates from their sites despite the best of measures. The controls they use all add extra time and cost to operations and it will be interesting to see if the Ajax proposal can make the economics work. Haul roads, blasting and mill-

ing all seemed to be able to be managed. After many at the meetings heard of our prevailing winds, climate, location and style of tailings facility, they cautioned that the tailings beach would be the dust to be most concerned with and potentially the hardest to control. All of the locations in Ontario and Quebec have a varying degree of monitoring stations around town that measure dust, wind, seismic, NO2 and noise. All the stations are paid for by the mining companies, but they are managed by a third party and online in real-time, 24/7. There are also protocols in place when exceedances happen and operations are shut down right away until conditions change. They do not wait for weeks of investigation. These were all put in place as conditions to operate. The biggest takeaway for me is that all of the open-pit mines we visited are in strictly miningdependent communities. In spite of that dependence on mining, there was still the need to mitigate to levels not seen before in Canadian mining. Having a diversified economy like Kamloops has is certainly something those cities would love to have. However, a diversified economy still means resource and industry jobs as a part of it. The question remains if KGHM can deliver the mitigation to a high enough level to make its proposal economically viable. I close this with the same thought as I opened: Those opposed to Ajax will have read this column as a list of why the mine should never happen. Those in favour of Ajax will see this column as all the more reason to “just get on with it.” Yet I submitted this column as simply reporting back on what I saw to be the less worrying aspects of the mine — aspects we really need to make sure are answered and addressed.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

SPEAK UP, COUNCIL — AJAX IS FOOLISH Editor: On his visit to Malarctic, Que., the mayor placed trust in KGHM — that they would use new technologies to reduce dust — and his expectation is beyond credibility. They won’t, and Richard Boyce, former president of the United Steelworkers Union at Highland Valley, already said why they won’t. But our naïve mayor ignores the real danger. The dust won’t kill our children and seniors. It is the PM2.5 emissions carried kilometres on the winds into the city. This deadly output is the emission from diesel fumes, explosives and the result of mining and crushing rock. It cannot be controlled, except by removing the source to at least

a dozen kilometres from the city. Of course, this is rhetorical in any event, since council has no say or control as to whether the proposed Ajax mine proceeds. It’s the feds and provincial authorities who hold sway. Council needs to impress the foolishness of Ajax on them. There is no doubt jobs are important but the price is simply too high. It will cost us $6 billion to support Ajax. And all we will get back is $2 billion. That is fact, not opinion, and it is not worth it. What we can do is take a part of the $700 million the province is going to give in subsidies to Ajax and use it to create new, entrepreneurial jobs in the region. In a few years, we could see the creation of

1,000 new technology jobs. All we need is the will to refuse the nonsense that is Ajax and embrace new technologies of the millennium. Now that is a challenge council can get its teeth into. Ken Blawatt Kamloops

find work in their trade. The mine could pick up some of them. As far as air and water concerns go, our tap water has been judged better than bottled water. And our air is above average. I wonder how councillors would react if someone suggested we put our city dump on a gravel bank 300 yards from one of the world’s largest salmon runs. I’ve been to most of the public Ajax meetings and I’m quite impressed with the questions and answers. We took a couple of bus trips to the proposed site and it looks to me there should be no problems. There was a mine there for years. Dale Collett Kamloops

Mine could offset mills

Editor: We have lived in Kamloops for 51 years, raised our five sons and we really like it here. We have seen changes in that time — all have been positive. Ajax mine should be one of them. Our mills are closing because of lack of lumber logs. These people move to where they can

REPORT VINDICATES FIRST NATIONS ADVICE Editor: One important factor has been absent from coverage of Auditor General Carol Bellringer’s scathing report on the failings of the province’s mine monitoring — the role of First Nations in providing solutions. Bellringer’s report vindicates what B.C. First Nations have been saying for years — the ministries of Energy and Mines and Environment fail to protect British Columbians from environmental risk, monitoring of mine projects is weak and taxpayers are on the hook for damages because liability funding is woefully inadequate. The auditor general calls for independent monitoring. First Nations are in the perfect position, with capacity building and training assistance to provide this service. It comes

through shared decision-making on permitting and independent monitoring and enforcement through our own environmental Guardians programs on our lands. As for the $1 billion in unfunded liabilities for mine remediation, this risk was pointed out last year in the First Nations Energy and Mining Council’s report on the threat of mining to northeastern B.C.’s watersheds, which called for a superfund to be created. First Nations have not been waiting for the provincial government to wake up. For example, the North Shuswap Tribal Council has enacted a detailed mining policy and tool kit. Others are following suit. We know while making sure only the right projects proceed in the right way is crucially important, so is ensuring existing or future

‘I never thought I would get to where I am’

Deanna Packard is a 53-year-old HIV survivor who lived most of her life as a straight white male

JESSICA KLYMCHUK STAFF REPORTER jklymchuk@kamloopsthisweek.com

er boss still calls her Darrin, maybe for the same reason her kids still call her dad. But Deanna Packard doesn’t mind. In fact, through her transition, she has held onto the masculinity that shaped her personality — her rough voice, her thick skin. “I’ve got too much sticks in my blood,” she said. Packard’s 1960s upbringing in Medicine Hat might have oppressed her inner woman, but it fostered a confidence that stuck. A scowl from a stranger doesn’t faze her and she shows no reservations in correcting someone who might incorrectly call her “sir.” Transgender is the term used to describe people whose gender identity differs from the sex with which they were born, according to GLAAD, formerly known as the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. Gender, like sexuality, has come to be understood as existing on a spectrum. However, the two are independent from one another. Gender identity is a person’s internal feeling of being a man or woman, of being both or in between. For transgender people, their sex at birth and their gender identity do not match, says GLAAD. “I’ve known right from the get-go,” Packard said. “I never thought I would get to where I am.”

Her story has a happy ending, but she still feels robbed. She’ll never carry a child or menstruate. Despite having three daughters, no one has ever called her mom. For as long as Packard can remember, she has known she should have been born female. Today, at 53, she lives freely and without reservation as her true self and with a desire to encourage others to do the same. Packard’s success has been a halfcentury in the making and she’s grateful for the societal progress that has enabled her to be honest about who she is. “We’re not bad people,” she said. “We’re just trying to live our life.” Packard can’t pinpoint a time when she came out, or even when she realized who she truly was. It’s clear she always had feelings of extreme animosity toward being male. Recalling memories from as early as age seven, Packard remembers playing with makeup and being fascinated by women’s shoes. An envy toward women grew within her.

Deanna Packard grew up in a fog of confusion because of an overwhelming feeling she was in the wrong body.

Growing up, she never struggled with her sexuality. To the world, she appeared a heterosexual male but, on the inside, she felt an overwhelming disdain for men. “I hated myself,” Packard said. “I hated who I was.” Today, parents whose children show signs of gender dysphoria — “the unhappiness some people feel with their physical sex,” according to the Canadian Psychology Association — are encouraged to let their children live as the opposite sex. That wasn’t the case in 1970.

“There was just no way,” Packard said. “It was hard as a kid because I had to hide everything. It’s not an easy way to grow up.” She wavers on whether her mother knew. It certainly wasn’t something they talked about. Her adolescence was haunted by a fog of confusion that led her to start using drugs and alcohol at age nine. Substance abuse stretched into her 20s and it was often during drunken stupors that she would let her true gender show. As a teenager,

Packard eagerly dressed as a woman for Halloween. She raided clotheslines and collected female garments, adding to a hidden stash, a pattern that continued into adulthood. She often stole from women’s clothing stores. For years, dressing as a woman in secret was the only release she had. “It wasn’t that I wanted to steal,” Packard said. “It was that I was ashamed of who I was. The alcohol, the drugs, it was all a cover-up for who I was. So, it did ruin my life for the first part of my life.”

Packard experimented with feminine attire in private as often as she could, but a fear of discrimination and violence prevented her from ever considering living as a woman, though she was occasionally caught cross-dressing by family members. More than once, her behaviour was dismissed as a phase. “It was hush-hush back then,” Packard said. “I’d seen people get beaten for a lot less than I am.” Her early 20s were plagued by a streetdrug habit and a crime

spree that followed her mother’s death in 1982 and the loss of friends to suicide. Addicted to cocaine and heroin, she landed in jail often and was labelled a habitual criminal. The turning point in her life came upon her release in 1985. Packard was 24 and living in a halfway house when a counsellor caught her using makeup, which she had purchased with her first post-release paycheque. He required her to see a psychologist, who told her something that is clearly ingrained in her memory.

“I felt more real. I don’t know how to explain that. I was becoming me, that person that has been hiding inside of me all along.”

Packard said he gave her an ultimatum: If you can’t live without it, what are you going to do to live with it? It was the first time she confronted her gender dysphoria. It gave her an outlet to explore herself, to talk about coping. The psychologist encouraged her to openly browse women’s clothing stores, to meet likeminded people. Packard saw him weekly and for six months after leaving the halfway house. “He was, I would probably say, my saviour because without him, I would probably

still be in jail because I would have been lost,” she said. “He actually gave me the courage. I think I’ve always had it in me, but he just had a way of teaching me to release it. “I was free from myself.” Packard knew if there was ever a place she would be accepted, it was within the gay community. Living in Calgary, she learned there was a thriving LGBTQ district. It was there she first remembers publicly crossdressing. “That’s where I started coming out,” Packard

said. “I felt safe there. I started meeting people who were accepting of me.” It wasn’t until Packard was living in Kamloops in the mid2000s that she fiercely pursued hormonereplacement therapy so she could grow breasts. She was referred to a doctor in Kelowna, where she was referred to a psychologist and then a psychiatrist. After a year of assessment, she started hormonereplacement therapy. “It was a relief,” Packard said. “Like I’m starting to become who I want to be and who

qestioning tioning individuals individuals seeking seeking support. Access to health care has been equally challenging, but provincial programming aims to increase access to proper care.

I should have been. I was finally achieving a goal I think should have been all along. I felt more real. I don’t know how to explain that. I was becoming me, that person that has been hiding inside of me all along.” Packard was placed on hormone replacement-therapy once before, but it was halted when she was diagnosed with HIV and hepatitis C in 1993, a devastating blow that derailed her progress. Her CD4 cell count was down to 20, meaning she was at high-risk of contracting AIDS.

Battling the disease in the early 1990s was gruelling, with narcotics that did more damage than good and made her so sick she couldn’t function. “Is that living?” Packard said. “That’s not living to me. I pretty much gave up on everything at that point.” Still, Packard spent years on and off different medications, in and out of lethargy. More than any other time in her life, Packard contemplated suicide. “I don’t think that thought has ever gone away,” she said. “I don’t think I’d ever do it. “I’m a fighter and I’m going to fight this to the bitter end.” Packard’s gender dysphoria took a backseat to fighting HIV for almost 10 years. She

said she overcame the disease by 2008. The virus is almost undetectable in her blood. She’s still on HIV medication — Atripla, which she swears by — but Packard thinks of herself as living proof HIV is not a death sentence. “I think everybody is here for a reason,” she said. “I don’t know what my reason is. I made it. There’s got to be some reason I’m still here.” Six months ago, Packard had a butterfly tattooed on her hip. She’s always loved the idea of a butterfly, an insect destined to do more than crawl on the earth.

Packard has made. Only now, after years of living with gender dysphoria, does she feel complete. On her driver’s licence reads her chosen name and a capital “F” indicates her gender. She had it legally changed in 2013, but she had the name chosen for more than a decade. It was inspired by Deanna Troi, a character from Star Trek: The Next Generation. She loved the name and thought it suited her. Packard was happy to keep her first initial the same — if only to commemorate who she has always been. She said changing her identity took work, paperwork and red tape, with mail often coming to her under the wrong gender. Last fall, she took a final step in her transition by undergoing gender-affirming surgery. Many people on the trans spectrum live authentically without ever making physical changes. For those who desire to, surgeries can include a tracheal shave, facial feminization, breast augmentation, hysterectomy, chest reconstruction and genital surgery. In Canada, trans people have to travel to Quebec for genital surgery as Montreal’s Dr. Pierre Brassard is the only doctor in the country who performs the most complex procedures associated with See Normal, page A12

gender affirmation. For Packard, once she learned the surgery was possible, the decision was automatic. Her association with being male caused her so much shame, she said it was exciting to think it could change. “If I could have done it 30 years ago, I would have,” Packard said, “because that’s who I am.” The referral process is lengthy. After meeting with psychologists and psychiatrists, Packard was put on a waiting list. Two years after putting the change in motion, she flew to Quebec in November with help from Hope Air, a charity that arranges flights for low-income Canadians to access health care. Before and after procedures, patients stay in residence care at L’asclepiade. Packard said the nurses went above and beyond in their care and compassion. A small Teddy bear named Bow was given to her by another patient — a companion trans women at the facility pass down to others when their stay has ended. When Packard was asked to rate the facility before she left, she found it impossible to give them a score. “The whole experience in Montreal was unrateable,” she said. “They have something there. They’re amazing.” But not every step along the way has been so positive. In her 53 years, Packard has felt discrimina-

tion and lost jobs and apartments after being caught cross-dressing. She’s faced rejection from within her own family. Her sister, one of four siblings, hasn’t spoken to her in 10 years. “When she found out I dressed in women’s clothing, she wanted nothing to do with me,” Packard said. “She even told me herself, ‘I would understand if you were gay, but not this.’ “I don’t care because, if that’s the way she wants to be, that’s her problem. “I experience the dirty looks, people looking down on you, but I snap back. I don’t put up with that. I’m me and you don’t have to like me. “I think it helped growing up in the sticks, having a tough life, I guess.” Packard has never experienced physical violence and, despite living in a small, politically conservative city, doesn’t feel threatened. For the people she’s lost along the way — including the boy she knew who committed suicide on a Vancouver beach after being diagnosed with HIV — and the many people who tell her they could never come out, she has a message: “Don’t let society stop you because it will ruin your life,” Packard said. “It ruined mine for years. “What do you call normal nowadays? There is no normal. Normal is who you are. “That’s what I am and strong to boot because it took so much to get to where I am.” “I’m enjoying who I am.”

Her daughters still call her dad, but embrace her new identity.

t took Sandra a long time to come to terms with her ex-husband’s womanhood. For the better part of 28 years, she didn’t know the extent to which Deanna would go to be happy with herself. “I never acknowledged it was serious because I didn’t want to,” Sandra said. “I didn’t want to feel rejected. I didn’t want to feel like that part of her was ever going to come first. “But deep, down, she always did come first.” Sandra was 18 when she met Darrin. Acceptance of Deanna has been a process. She calls her Dee and usually uses a female pronoun when speaking about her. They were married for three years in the early 1990s and reunited about a decade later. “Deanna was a totally different person back then,” Sandra said. “I thought everything was just a stage. “I think a lot of people who are in situations like that go through the same thing — they think it’s just a phase.

“There were times in my life I was mean. I called Deanna a lot of horrible names. I was evil. I’m not going to say I wasn’t. “But I think in the last year a lot has changed and I find bottom line for me is, whether Deanna and I have gone our separate ways, she will always be that strong individual that is going to make sure no one is ever going to hurt me.” Their eldest daughter Rebecca, 27, reached out to her father when she was 15. She went to live with Deanna and her second wife in Nanaimo. Sandra told her daughter about the cross-dressing, so Rebecca was never in the dark about her father’s truth. All three of Deanna’s daughters shy away from using a female pronoun, something Rebecca said will take a while to adjust to. They still call Deanna “dad,” so saying “she” doesn’t come naturally. “It didn’t stop me from wanting to know who he was,” Rebecca said. “I felt like giving him a second chance at being a dad.” Deanna told Rebecca she felt like a woman trapped in a man’s body. In fact, she eventually told all her daughters some variation of the phrase.

“He never really was a guy,” Rebecca said. “I saw a lot of that in Nanaimo. If it was just me and him, he was more into looking at girls clothes.” Jessica, 25, and Kimberly, 23, reunited with Deanna in their early teens, when she returned to live with them in Kamloops. They said they were mostly indifferent toward her being transgender, but the situation changed when they had children and were faced with considering how their kids would perceive their grandpa. “Whenever we would talk about it, we would just have regular conversations. We would talk about outfits and stuff like that,” Kimberly said. “I didn’t really care what other people thought. “It only became really real when I became pregnant and realized, ‘What is my child going to call him?’” For Jessica, who is mother to Deanna’s three eldest grandchildren, there was a time she did reject her dad. Her fear for how her children would react as they grew was concerning. Would they be confused when their grandfather started appearing more feminine? “My oldest, he started noticing,” Jessica said. “He was kind

of accepting, so I was more accepting. “It makes him happy, so I’m with him on it. I try to be supportive. I’ve even done his makeup.” Though the family has learned to be supportive of Deanna, they’ve navigated the process on their own. Sandra and Deanna attended an ally night with a local support group more than a year ago, but Sandra said the environment wasn’t what they expected and allies were only welcome on occasion. It wasn’t a good fit. There is no group solely dedicated to supporting and educating the friends and family of those who are on the trans spectrum. Sandra said she has often considered starting one. “I’m still scared for her to do it [live as a woman] here in Kamloops,” Sandra said. “There’s little support for them. How safe do they feel?” Kimberly once watched a friend grieve the loss of her transgender father to suicide and feared the worst for Deanna. “Sometimes I would worry about that,” she said, tears forming in her eyes. “But, things seem to be pretty OK. “So, I’m pretty thankful.”

TRUFA has beef with course schedule TRUCKS DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The union representing faculty at Thompson Rivers University is pointing to a new course schedule as evidence its members are not being heard. However, a spokesperson for the university said the schedule is a preliminary version and concerns are still being accepted and will be considered. TRU purchased new software to create its courses schedule for the upcoming school year, said communications manager Dianna Skoglund, a decision made because the previous system was labour-intensive. While concerns are still being accepted by administration, there is no guarantee all will be addressed because the priority in scheduling courses is the needs of students, Skoglund said. However, TRU Faculty Association

Honorary TRU degrees for trio A scientist, an athlete and a problem solver will receive honorary degrees at the upcoming convocation at Thompson Rivers University. Dr. Brenda Milner will be honoured on June 9 at 2 p.m. Milner is considered a founder

(TRUFA) president Tom Friedman said the schedule presented this month to his members — one that came about three months later than in past years — does not reflect faculty concerns, including child-care needs. Time constraints have always been gathered from faculty prior to schedules being created, Friedman said, and that information was provided last fall. Some faculty have been scheduled for times that would impede them picking up children from school or child care, Friedman said, noting faculty who have raised the issue have been told child care is a low time constraint. Some courses have been placed into three-hour blocks and Friedman said faculty have expressed concern about how that length of time will impact students’ attention and ability to learn. He said faculty members advised admin-

of cognitive neuroscience, a field that merges neurobiology and psychology. Among her research findings is the brain is not governed by one memory system, a revelation that changed the direction of memory research. Bob Lenarduzzi, president of Vancouver Whitecaps FC, represented Canada at the 1984

istration before it chose the new software that the same program was being used at other institutions and there were many problems with it. Friedman said some of those institutions are now replacing it with other software. Skoglund said it’s unfortunate faculty are seeing the draft timetable as indicative of an administration not listening to its employees, an issue raised often during bargaining talks that led to a new contract earlier this year. The concern also sparked a non-confidence vote in senior administrators. Friedman said he has had private talks with Paul Dagg, chairman of the board of governors, and felt Dagg — a medical doctor and director of tertiary mental health at Hillside Centre — has a good grasp of “the academic world.” He said Dagg has indicated steps are being taken to address the concern.

Head coach Brad Yamaoka said the quality of recruits was high and Kamloops is now “on the map” among players searching for a junior football experience in B.C. The Broncos will make many of their selections by the end of the week, with the final 70 to 75 roster spots finalized after the B.C. Football Conference’s June 1 signing day. Kamloops will host its main camp in July and will open the 2016 BCFC season on July 23, in Nanaimo to face the Vancouver Island Raiders.

Successes, shortcomings part of Sloan’s PGA journey STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

He can’t just pretend it didn’t happen. Roger Sloan dunked consecutive tee shots into the water and blew a one-shot lead on the final two holes of the United Leasing and Finance Championship in Newburgh, Ind. He cost himself the tournament with two doublebogeys. “You can’t wipe it clean,” said Sloan, the Merritt product who finished fifth at the Web.com Tour event, two shots back of Irish winner Seamus Power. “It’s an experience. We didn’t win. It’s

extremely disappointing. “At the same time, even though it was devastating and sad and sometimes a little bit depressing, what happened there on the last few holes, it’s encouraging because it’s a learning experience and something we can apply the next time you’re in that position.” Sloan claimed his 2014-2015 PGA Tour card with a top-25 finish on the Web.com Tour’s 2014 money list. The Web.com Tour is the developmental tour for the PGA Tour. He played in 20 PGA Tour events last season, made seven cuts — his best showing a T18 at the John Deere Classic in July in Illinois, where he finished eight

shots back of winner Jordan Spieth — and placed 200th in the FedEx Cup standings. The results weren’t good enough to return to the big dance this season. “I’m extremely motivated to get back,” Sloan said. “Last year was a dream come true, playing on the world’s best tour next to guys I’ve idolized and watched on TV. It’s like every little Canadian kid wanting to be in the NHL. My dream was to be on the PGA Tour.” If the way he’s playing is any indication, it won’t be long until Sloan has a chance to avenge his late collapse in Indiana. And it might not be too long before the

28-year-old Canadian is back on the PGA Tour. Sloan, enjoying a week off with his wife, Casey, at their Houston, Tex., home when he spoke to KTW, has vaulted to No. 26 on the Web.com Tour money list, with $50,952 after four events, most of it coming from the result in Indiana and a T5 finish at the El Bosque Mexico Championship on April 24. Those top-10 finishes in consecutive weeks earned Sloan exemption to the tour’s remaining 17 regular-season events. The top 25 on the money list at season’s end earn PGA Tour cards for 2017. The top 75 players earn exemption to the four-event finals.

Pack struggle in regular-season finale The Thompson Rivers WolfPack went 1-3 in its final regularseason weekend of the 2016 Canadian College Baseball Conference campaign, finishing the season with a 13-15 record. The CCBC Championship tournament begins on Thursday in Kelowna. The Pack got off to a tough start in their four-game set

in Kelowna, dropping an 8-0 decision to the Okanagan College Coyotes on Saturday afternoon. In the second contest of the night, Thompson Rivers was defeated 13-1 by the Vancouver Island Baseball Institute Mariners. After losing another game to the Mariners to start Sunday’s action, 13-3, the Wolves rebounded

with a 3-2 win against the Coyotes to close the weekend. Tyler Hodder continued his dominance on the mound for the Pack this season, going seven innings in the club’s lone victory, surrendering three hits and four walks, but striking out seven. He leads the league in wins, with seven, and an ERA of 1.77. Thompson Rivers will open play on Thursday against the Prairie Baseball Academy Dawgs. They will play games against the Mariners and Coyotes on Friday and against the Calgary Dinos on Saturday. The championship tournament wraps up on Sunday.

Sloan is humble — and admits he was humbled last season by the PGA Tour. “It was a little bit of a struggle,” he said. “I didn’t have my best golf game and I was getting used to a completely different environment. With the PGA Tour, there are a lot more bells and whistles going on and sometimes it can be a little bit distracting.” “I just needed to experience it and soak it all in first to feel comfortable. That’s my personality. That’s how I was my first year on the Canadian Tour, the first year on the Web.com and, unfortunately, my first year on the PGA Tour.” Sloan will next tee it up at the Rex Hospital Open, which W E S T E R N

dealing with finance-related stress. “Expenses are challenging, especially on the PGA Tour, with the travel you do and the hotel accommodation,” Sloan said. “It’s not cheap, plus you’re employing a caddie. It’s not just personal earnings. It’s business earnings and you have expenses.” The fifth-place finish in Indiana came with a cheque for $24.000. Had Sloan held on to win, he would have walked away with $108,000. Two errant tee shots cost him $84,000 and perhaps some peace of mind going forward. “To be able to not think about finances would be nice, but you’ve still got to play good week in and week out,” Sloan said. “That’s the boat that we’re in.”

gets underway Thursday in Raleigh, N.C. “It’s been two Sundays in a row that I’ve put myself in a position to win the golf tournament,” Sloan said. “It’s just reassuring that the process me and my team is going through is working. “Deep down, I know I belong out there on the PGA Tour. It’s a process of gaining experience like last year, experiences like last week, and they all add up to making me a better player.”

What about the money?

Sloan made $133,048 last year on the PGA Tour. That might seem like a healthy number, but travel and accommodation costs add up quickly and players in his position, fighting to establish themselves, are often •

Family Triathlon Festival days away ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

There will be a mixture of old and new on display this weekend as a pair of triathlons take over the Tournament Capital. The 14th annual Kids of Steel triathlon and the seventh annual Kamloops Spring Sprint have been combined to form the 2016 Kamloops Spring Sprint and Kids of Steel Family Triathlon Festival. The May 15 event begins at 7 a.m. and runs through to lunchtime in Brocklehurst. The races start at the Brock Pool. Closure to the Westsyde Pool necessitated the combination of the two events and the move to Brock allowed organizers to dig into Kamloops’ triathlon history. “That’s about the same as it was last year,” Kara Wright, event organizer, said of registration numbers, which stand at

roughly 70 for the Spring Sprint and 150 for the Kids of Steel. “In the heyday of triathlon, when the Olympics were happening and Simon Whitfield was racing, we had over 200 kids in the Kids of Steel. Simon Whitfield came to Kamloops and helped plan the Kids of Steel race course, the same course we’re using today. So, I think he helped to influence the real energy behind it.” The 2016 Kids of Steel race is also a qualifier for the B.C. Summer Games for athletes 14 and 15 years old. About 20 racers are looking to book their tickets to the Games with this weekend’s event. The Kids of Steel event is for racers ages five to 19 and has differing lengths based on age categories. The Spring Sprint, meanwhile, is for participants 16 and older. There are three categories athletes can race in — the

beginner-friendly super sprint (350-metre swim, 10-kilometre bike and 3km run), the sprint (700m swim, 20km bike and 5km run) and the team event (groups of three race, with each athlete taking one leg of the course). Wright said organizers would like to see a few more adults involved, but they are happy with the turnout among younger racers. The Kamloops Triathlon Club’s yearly training camps were well attended, such that the organization will have another series in June, which already has a waiting list. For more information on either of the races or the club’s clinics, or to register, go online to trytri.org or email koskamloops@gmail.com. The Family Triathlon Festival will also include face painting, a clown, games and activities, ice cream, a photo booth and a handful of vendors.

Rattlers take down Raiders The Kamloops Rattlers are 3-0 on the season, having won a contest against the Kelowna Raiders 12-5 on Friday night. The men’s senior lacrosse team defeated Kelowna and the Armstrong Shamrocks

earlier this season. Scott Helton played hero for the Rattlers at Memorial Arena on the weekend, backstopping the Kamloops power play, which was on the floor for much of the game. The Rattlers never

trailed in the game, jumping out to a 4-0 lead in the first period. AJ Lockwood had five goals and one assist. Kyle Walker, Chris Kerssens and Blaine Boomer had two goals apiece, while Liam Hagerty

had a single. Riley Donahue had four assists. Kamloops will be in Armstrong on Saturday to face the Shamrocks and will play a rematch against the club on May 27 in Kamloops.

Obituaries & In Memoriam In Loving Memory of Verner H. Walden January 12, 1930 - May 10, 2015

A Celebration Of Life for

Darrell a.k.a.

Brooksy

When God was making husbands, as far as I can see, He made a special soulmate especially for me. He made a perfect gentleman. compassionate and kind, With more love and affection than you could ever wish to find. He gave my darling Husband a heart of solid gold. He gave me wonderful memories only my heart can hold. He was someone I could talk to that no one can replace. He was someone I could laugh with till tears ran down my face. Next time we meet will be at Heaven’s door, When I see you standing there, I won’t cry anymore.

There will be a Memorial Golf Game and Celebration of Life for Darrell a.k.a. Brooksy on Sunday, May 22, 2016. Golf will start at 1:00 pm and will be a best ball format. Celebration of Life will start at approximately 4:00 pm.

I will put my arms around you and kiss your smiling face, Then the pieces of my broken heart will fall back into place.

Please RSVP by Monday, May 16 by e-mail to wwts@shaw.ca or call Therese.

Lovingly your Wife

Further details will be provided following replies.

Evelyn Doreen Hobbs

Verner H. Walden

The family of Evelyn Doreen Hobbs sadly lost a mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and best friend on the morning of May 6, 2016.

January 12, 1930 - May 10, 2015

Doreen was born in Salmon Arm 92 years ago. She was a selfless, determined woman who enriched the lives of those around her with her unconditional love, wisdom and gentle humour. She had the rare gift of making everyone feel special. It is a comfort to know that Doreen will be reunited with Bill (William Gordon Hobbs) the love of her life, who predeceased her in 1999 after 54 years of marriage. Her love of nature and its beauty will forever be remembered by her three daughters Linda Bourrie (Vaughn), Beccy Yaron (Glenn) and Willow Tegart (Greg) and a wealth of grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. A Celebration of Life will take place at a future date for the immediate members of her family. A heartfelt thanks to the Care Aides at Riverbend Seniors’ Community in Kamloops who helped Doreen while she lived there and to the staff at Royal Inland Hospital who worked hard to ensure she was well cared for in her final days. Doreen will be missed and forever loved. Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com Schoenings Funeral Service 250-374-1454

They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal, But neither time nor reason, Will change the way we feel, For no-one knows the heartache, That lies behind our smiles, No-one knows how many times, We have broken down and cried, We want to tell you something, So there won’t be any doubt, You’re so wonderful to think of, But so hard to be without.

Up close look at Fort McMurray fire devastation THE CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Rachel Notley and reporters got an up-close look yesterday of what was left of Fort McMurray neighbourhoods burned out by a forest fire. “We are proud of everybody who worked on this fire,’’ regional fire chief Darby Allen told media riding on a bus tour through some of the most devastated areas. “We want to let our citizens know that home is still here. And as soon as we can get you back, we will.’’ Notley viewed the same neighbourhoods as part of a separate tour. Allen said people may be under the impression most of the city was levelled by flames, but about 85 per cent of the buildings in the city are intact.

However, he said between 40 and 50 per cent of Fort McMurray could have been destroyed if firefighters hadn’t been able to hold back the flames at key points, especially the downtown. Updated figures show 2,400 structures, mostly homes, are known to have been damaged by flames. The tour revealed a silent testament to the wildfire that overwhelmed crews last Tuesday and marauded through south and southwest sections of the city. It left behind scorched skeletal outlines of furniture, vehicles and buildings. A cracked birdbath. The metal outline of a shed. A front doorstep leading to nowhere. Kids’ bikes burned where they were chained up. Metal-topped barbecues on flame-streaked patios. It was a fire of dia-

bolical whimsy. Homes that appear not to have been touched now face craters just across the street. Pristine bus stops and mailboxes remain ready for business next to charred ruins. The dominant colors are blacks, greys, whites and ochre. The hazy skyline is punctuated by towering light poles and the odd tree: tall, black and twisted with stubby twig arms. The Super8 motel is gone. Only the signature red-and-yellow sign remains. Cars and trucks remained torched where they were abandoned when about 80,000 residents grabbed a few belongings and raced for safety. Now the vehicles are scorched hulks, their paint jobs blistered and cracked, seared by flame.

Wheels are burned to blackened hubs, upholstery is consumed to the springs, windows are smashed and dashboards melted to goo have hardened in lava-like droops and swirls. It’s a world of irregular shapes and fractured lines. Sections of jagged walls and brick rise from black-grey foundations like broken off sections of jigsaw puzzles. Walls, beams and posts lie folded and twisted on top of one another. Utility meters bend to the left and right. Trees droop. Blown-out top floor windows are open to the sky in both directions. There is wreckage everywhere — but there are signs reconstruction has begun. Teams work on power lines into the city, 435 kilo-

metres northeast of Edmonton. Notley said Sunday the fight against the fire has stabilized to the point the government can assess damage, eventually lift the mandatory evacuation order and get the city ready for residents to return. The evacuees are staying in hotels, campgrounds, with friends or at reception centres. The main one in Edmonton has had to deal with an added problem — about 50 people have fallen ill with a stomach bug. The wildfire itself remains at about 1,600 square kilometres and has moved within 30 kilometres of the Saskatchewan boundary, but lower than seasonal temperatures have given crews a chance to extinguish hotspots in Fort McMurray.

Foreign aid turned down OTTAWA — Russia, the U.S., Mexico, Australia, Taiwan, Israel and the Palestinian Authority have all offered help in fighting the northern Alberta wildfire, but Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says there’s no need for international assistance. Last week Vladimir Puchkov, the Russian minister of emergency measures, offered to send heavy water bombers and specialized crews to battle the fire near Fort McMurray. A number of other offers have also been made since the crisis emerged and they have been reviewed against requirements, said John Babcock, a spokesman for Global Affairs Canada. Canada sincerely appreciates the international support, but it isn’t necessary, Trudeau told a news conference yesterday. Water bombers and firefighters from other provinces, including Ontario, B.C., Quebec and New Brunswick, are getting a handle on the situation, he added. “There is no doubt that people around the world have been marked by this disaster and have been very generous in their offers of support, but the reality is with all of the assistance of people across this country, we don’t need help from other countries at this time,’’ he said.

A Celebration Of Life for Violet May (Demmon) McCullough

Predeceased by her loving husband William Poole in 1987, brother Victor Mason and sister Grace McMane. Mom married her childhood sweetheart on October 3, 1945 and they first lived on Elm Street in Grimsby, Ontario with her mom Ethel and dad Ernie Mason. Shortly after June was born they m o v e d to dad’s parents fruit farm in Beamsville, Ontario where mom helped work on it. In 1955 they decided to venture out West, first going to Alberta and then on to BC settling in North Delta. Dad was a welder but decided to start his own contracting business with mom at his side in 1966. She spent many hours in the truck waiting for him while he was only going to be a few minutes at his meeting. They moved to Kamloops in 1973 and bought a home in Westsyde with a swimming pool which all the grandkids were there all the time to enjoy. Mom enjoyed bingo, the casino, garage sales, doing crafts (until her eyesight got too bad) playing cards and other games with her grand kids and golfing which she continued to golf until her early 80’s. Dad tried to teach her to golf but had a heck of time until they both realized she was left handed, then she became a pretty good golfer. Mom golfed on a team at the coast until they moved to Kamloops. Her and dad did a lot of golfing during the winter months at their home in Indio, California. Mom bowed out like a real trouper, peaceful, quiet dignity and in her own mind. Mom will be dearly missed by all who loved her. Special thanks to Dr. Mavis Hollman and the nurses and caregivers in Jade at Brock Gemstone. A Private Graveside will take place before the Service. Please join the family for Freda’s Celebration of Life on Wednesday, May 11, 2016 at 1:00 pm in the Schoening Chapel, 513 Seymour St. Kamloops. Pastor Zacharie Jean will be conducting the service. Condolences may be sent to www.schoeningfuneralservice.com Schoenings Funeral Service 250-374-1454

Michael passed away peacefully in Kamloops on April 11, 2016 at age 68. Michael was an amazing father and proud grandfather. His passions in life were photography, marksmanship, camping and his family. Always loved and remembered by his daughter Tami-Lynn and his grandson Ryley as well as many friends and relatives. There will be a Private Family Service at a later time.

The day God took you home A million times We’ve needed you A million times we’ve cried, If love alone Could have saved you You never would have died. In life we loved you dearly; In death we love you still. In our hearts you hold a place, Where no one can ever fill. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn’t go alone Part of us went with you, The day God took you home.

NATIONAL NEWS ZIKA VIRUS TOFINO CAPSIZE WAS ‘ACT OF GOD’ RIO OLYMPICS SHOULD BE POSTPONED THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — The owner of a whale-watching vessel that capsized on Vancouver Island, killing six people, describes the tragedy as an “act of God’’ arising from unforeseeable ocean conditions. Court documents filed by Jamie Bray of Tofino, in response to a proposed class-action lawsuit say Jamie’s Whaling Station was complying with Transport Canada regulations when the craft flipped on Oct. 25, 2015. Brothers Christian and Dirk Barchfeld filed the legal action last month, accusing the company of negligence for allowing the Leviathan II to overturn in treacherous conditions. Captain Wayne Dolby is also named in the suit, in addition to Bray and his nature tour company. Five Britons and an Australian died after the 20-metre vessel capsized with two dozen passengers and three crew on board. None of the allegations have been tested in court.

ABORIGINAL RIGHTS

ALIGNING WITH THE UN THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Canada is signalling it plans to embrace the UN’s Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People — even as the federal government remains under fire for the dire conditions plaguing the troubled Attawapiskat First Nation. In her speech to the UN, Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould is calling on the world body to confront colonial legacies and help rebuild communities for the world’s First Nations. Wilson-Raybould said the declaration and the work of the UN should be a “means to an end and not the end in itself.’’ That ultimate goal, she said, should be improving the quality of life for indigenous peoples and helping to ensure their way of life is protected and allowed to thrive. Indigenous Affairs Minister Carolyn Bennett is expected to formalize Canada’s position on the declaration today during the UN’s Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. Charlie Angus, whose northern Ontario riding includes Attawapiskat, was to be part of the Canadian delegation, but cancelled his trip in order to visit the community with Ontario counterpart MPP Gilles Bisson. Angus said conditions in Attawapiskat remain a source of great concern one month after the community declared a state of emergency over its youth suicide crisis. He said the reserve still lacks critical resources — shocking, he said, given the high-profile controversy surrounding conditions in Attawapiskat and the involvement of powerful people, including the Prime Minister’s Office. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has agreed to sit down with Attawapiskat’s chief, although no date for the meeting has been announced.

OR MOVED: PUBLIC HEALTH PROFESSOR

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — A Canadian professor of law and public health says the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro should be postponed or moved to other venues because of the threat posed by the Zika virus epidemic in Brazil.

Amir Attaran of the University of Ottawa says the expected half-million visitors to the Olympic and Paralympic Games pose a risk of spreading the virus once they return to their home countries. Attaran argues in a commentary published in the Harvard

Public Health Review that the International Olympic Committee and the World Health Organization are being irresponsible in allowing the Games to go ahead. Zika is a mosquitoborne virus that has been found to cause underdeveloped brains in babies born

to women infected while pregnant. It’s also potentially linked to neurological disorders in some infected children and adults. Attaran says it’s more important to delay the Games or move them to safer locations than to have unborn babies facing a lifetime of

WANTED

permanent disability. He says events could be split up using facilities in cities such as London and Beijing, which hosted previous Summer Games. “This would be taking an unfortunate tragedy known as Zika and fashioning it into the world’s first ever truly global Olympics.”

Former residential school students hope for apology, compensation through lawsuit THE CANADIAN PRESS

ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — James Tuttauk will be among hundreds of former residential school students anxiously watching for any sign today from Newfoundland and Labrador’s Supreme Court of an apology and compensation he says is long overdue. An update on efforts to settle a class-action lawsuit filed by plaintiffs alleging abuse and cultural losses is expected in St. John’s, nearly 10 years after litigation began. It’s time for the government to be honest and say ‘Yes, this did happen,’’’ Tuttauk said from the Inuit community of Hopedale on the Labrador coast. “The money is always

good but an apology is a big thing. To be believed, to have the country believe us. “They ruined our culture, they ruined our language.’’ Tuttauk said former residential school students in the province were devastated to be excluded from then-prime minister Stephen Harper’s apology in 2008. A related compensation deal paid more than $4 billion to those who attended what were known as Indian residential schools across the rest of Canada. The previous Conservative government argued Ottawa was not responsible for running schools in North West River, Cartwright, Nain and Makkovik — all in Labrador — or in St. Anthony in northern Newfoundland.

The International Grenfell Association ran three of the schools, while the Germanbased Moravian Missionaries ran the other two. Defence documents denied the Newfoundland and Labrador schools were “akin’’ to now-defunct institutions under the federal Indian Act that were the subject of the federal Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement. Lawyers for the plaintiffs countered after the province joined Confederation in 1949 Ottawa had the same legal duty to aboriginal students in the province as elsewhere in Canada. There was a change in tone after the Liberals took power last fall. Lawyers for

both sides began working in February to reach a settlement by the end of this month. Otherwise, litigation is expected to resume. Tuttauk was nine years old when he moved into the residential school in North West River. He accuses a former male staff member of molesting him during bath time and says he was sexually abused for almost three years before he hitchhiked to nearby Goose Bay to be with his mother, who was ill. Tuttauk, now 55, is a father of five and grandfather of four who has worked as a heavy equipment operator. He was also mayor of Hopedale but said he stepped down last November as the stress of the ongoing trial triggered awful memories.

Record-breaking diamond sells for $63.1million THE CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — Lucara Diamond Corp. says it has sold one of the biggest diamonds ever found for US$63.1 million. Company president William Lamb said in a statement the price was the highest ever paid for a rough diamond.

Lamb adds the 813-carat diamond, called Constellation, is also the sixthlargest gem-quality diamond ever found. The Vancouver-based company didn’t disclose the buyer but said it will also get 10 per cent of the net profit from the polished stones cut from the rough diamond.

Lucara recovered the diamond from the same mine in Botswana where it also found the 1,109-carat Lesedi La Rona diamond that ranks as the second-largest ever discovered. Sotheby’s is set to auction the Lesedi La Rona diamond on June 29, with estimates that it could sell for US$70 million.

Canada pledges funds to fight AIDS, TB, malaria and will host Global Fund conference THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Canada will donate $785 million over the 2017 to 2019 period to an international fund aimed at fighting AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said yesterday. That represents a 20-per-cent increase from Canada’s last pledge to the Global Fund, which was established in 2002 and raises an estimated $4 billion US every year. Trudeau also said Canada will host the fund’s fifth fundraising conference on Sept. 16 in Montreal. The last such conference was hosted by President Barack Obama in Washington, D.C. in 2013. “We are honoured to continue that important work,’’ Trudeau said. The Global Fund, the world’s main funding body in the fight to prevent and treat HIV, tuberculosis and malaria, saves lives every day, said the prime minister, who is also promoting the fund’s social media campaign, “End It For Good.’’ “This campaign encourages the public, and particularly young people, to raise awareness about these three diseases through social media.’’ Canada has a duty to lead by example on the international stage, he added. “The commitments we’ve announced today will help vulnerable citizens live better lives,’’ he said. “Lives that are longer, healthier and free from the burden of disease.’’

TORONTO — A Toronto-area daycare provider convicted of manslaughter in a toddler’s death has been sentenced to six years in prison. April Luckese was found guilty in March in the death of

Jan. 5, 2011. She died in hospital two days later. Justice Gordon Lemon, in delivering his sentence, said he has no doubt that Luckese “is a good person who did a bad thing.’’ But he also said Luckese and her

A NOBLE VENTURE EXPANDS

Kamloops honing its craft

Pouring the Pig into the mainland ADAM WILLIAMS • STAFF REPORTER • ADAM@KAMLOOPSTHISWEEK.COM

rock Rodgers wanted what the Noble Pig has. So, just three months after entering discussions to establish a strategic alliance with the Kamloops brewhouse, Maeghan and Jared Summers are going to try to give it to him. Rodgers, a part-owner of the Lower Mainland’s Mission Springs Brewing Company and Hearthstone Brewery, sat down for dinner at the Pig one January evening, in the River City to explore opportunities for his businesses. Coincidentally, he was seated in a booth next to Mark Tetreau, a part-owner of the Noble Pig, who was in the midst of a conversation about the direction of the Victoria Street restaurant and brewery. “I have to be honest, I’m quite jealous of what you do here,” Rodgers told Tetreau at the time. Speaking with KTW, Rodgers recalled his experience at the Pig. “Everything about the place just wowed me,” he said. “I run a few places and have spent most of my life looking at other places, going, ‘How can I get better?’ I saw nothing but ways to improve my situation.” The strategic alliance resulting from Rodgers’ visit

will now see the couple — Jared the Pig’s chef and Maeghan its general manager — trying to replicate the successes of The Noble Pig in Mission and North Vancouver. The beer program, the scratch kitchen cuisine and the service level the couple has established in Kamloops all resonated with Rodgers, to the point he was willing to offer them a partnership in Hearthstone, his North Vancouver venture. They headed to the Lower Mainland last week with the goal of guiding Mission Springs, located in its namesake Fraser Valley town, through what Jared called a revamp and getting Hearthstone’s restaurant and taproom off the ground in June. “I’ll be honest, it’s super humbling,” Maeghan told KTW, sitting in the very booth Rodgers had occupied months before. “To have an experience like this — where someone seeks out what we do in a destination that people don’t necessarily view as a food hub or a cultural centre, and to see talent in what we do — means a lot. It’s very, very humbling.” “The greatest compliments always come from the people within the industry,” Jared echoed. The partnership creates the opportunity for the companies to do collaborative brews, share in prod-

ucts and provide staff with opportunities to grow or relocate between locations. There’s hope it will help support culinary programs, both at Thompson Rivers University and in Vancouver. Noble Pig beer will be exposed to a Lower Mainland audience for the first time and the brewhouse in the Thompson Inn will have the opportunity to try some new things. “Kamloops, in some ways, will be that pilot project,” Maeghan said. The most popular of the Noble brews will remain on tap, but some new additions should be on the way. “It can be that place where you try something unique and, if it works, they’ll do it on a bigger scale in the other breweries,” she said. Aligning with Rodgers, who also owns a string of liquor stores, may also help The Noble Pig get its beers into bottles and cans. “It’s going to allow Kamloops to really start to expose the Lower Mainland to Kamloops craft beer,” Maeghan said of the alliance. “This isn’t just about the Pig in some ways, I think it’s going to be really good for Kamloops overall. “This will allow that market to be really aware of what Kamloops is about — there’s a reason to come here.”

Joe Wiebe has long said Kamloops is among the biggest and best surprises in B.C.’s craftbrewing industry. Known as the Thirsty Rider, Wiebe travelled the city on a craft beer odyssey in 2012, researching for his book Craft Beer Revolution: The Insider’s Guide to B.C. Breweries. He admitted he had low expectations for his time in the River City. But he was stunned by what The Noble Pig had to offer and it quickly became one of his favourite places in B.C. to enjoy craft beers. Wiebe’s low expectations weren’t entirely unfounded — when The Noble Pig first opened its doors in 2010, there was little like it in town. The restaurant and brewhouse is now part of a burgeoning craft beer scene in Kamloops. Red Collar Brewing on Lansdowne Street started pouring in 2012. Red Beard Cafe has been serving craft beer on Kamloops’ North Shore for two years. Chances Casino on Halston Avenue has nearly a dozen B.C. beers on tap. The culture has grown immensely, to the point that Brew Loops, the city’s craft beer festival, now takes place annually. “It has come a long way in the last five years,” Pig co-owner Jared Summers said. “When the Pig first opened, I think this was probably the only place you could get craft beer. “It has really come a long way. Vancouver is such a big market, there’s obviously a lot more room for diversity, but Kamloops has really caught on and people have been really keen to understanding what craft beer is all about and embracing it.” — Adam Williams

speaking Annual allowable cut at 2.3M BUSINESS

he upcoming J E M H (Journal of Ethics in Mental Health) conference in Kamloops brings to light many aspects of ageing gracefully both emotionally, physically and cognitively. The cliché term Dr. Preety Desai “getting long in the tooth” refers to the ancient philosophy that one loses their teeth directly proportional to the rate at which one chronologically ages. But this is far from the truth today. A healthy and fully dentate mouth is able to SMILE for you, CHEW salads and meats for you; but also improves your digestion and increases your longevity with the variety of foods you can ingest and digest. This most importantly maintains your dignity! Maturing in actual “years” does not mean your body nor your mouth ages at the same rate! Researchers have shown that the healthier your mouth is and the more teeth you keep in your head the better you stave off Alzeimer’s, dementia, Parkinson’s disease but also heart disease and cancer. Researchers have identified that Alzeimer’s disease which is classified as “inflammation of the brain” can be tracked back to oral bacteria, herpes viruses or oral yeasts causing periodontal disease. These microbes find their way through the bloodbrain barrier and Dr Olsen at the University of Oslo has published on this. Once you know this, the motivation to go to the periodontist, who knows MORE about gums and gum disease better than any other dentist, should be a natural choice for you. Even if you have lost no, some or all your teeth..... maintaining your oral health even with dentures is key to your overall health. With dentures, the risk of candida infections is high and thus removing your dentures at night is a MUST. If the lack of chewing or taste is an issue, you might want to consider a simple cheap conversion to an implant supported denture with you own dentures for better chewing function. If you have lost some of your teeth, maintaining what is remaining is also critical compared to the old days when you just called it quits on your remaining teeth and got full dentures. Research shows you live longer, better and happier with even SOME of your own teeth in your head. And finally the more teeth you have: maintaining them means you have the best quality of life all round. See the periodontist to ensure that you are privy to the latest laser technology to keep your OWN teeth smiling. This is still the best bang for your buck!

The province’s chief forester has elected to smooth out the annual allowable cut in the Kamloops timber supply area by dropping it more rapidly than an earlier proposed base case. Diane Nicholls, chief forester, said the beetle epidemic in the region and salvage efforts in its wake are over, leaving far less timber availability. The new annual allowable cut (AAC) will be set at 2.3-million cubic metres, stepping down to 2.1 million -

cubic metres in 2021. Under a previous scenario, the cut was to be set at 2.5-million cubic metres for the next decade, when it would fall sharply to 1.8 million cubic metres. Cut levels were artificially increased and mill production ramped up to deal with dead pine over the past decade. An average of about 2.7-million cubic metres of timber was harvested between 2009 to 2013 in the Kamloops timber supply area. The Kamloops area has a more diverse timber base than the Central Interior, which relied heavily on now-

More bridge work begins this week Expect delays if you’re headed towards Lafarge for the next few months. City contractor HRC Construction began rehabilitation work this week on the Lafarge Bridge (also known as Tumbleweed Bridge). The project will run until the end of August. Crews won’t work on the bridge deck itself, but will work on the span’s piers from the deck, impacting traffic. During construction, the city will install temporary traffic lights at either end of the bridge, which will allow for singlelane alternating traffic between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m., Mondays through Thursdays, and 7 p.m. to 1 p.m. on Fridays. On evenings and weekends, traffic on the bridge will return to normal two-lane passage, For the first week of the project, crews will erect scaffolding on the bridge before beginning pier work the week of May 16.

He said the AAC should feed existing mill demand at Adams Lake, Chase and Merritt. “They may have to scale back a shift from time to time,” he said.

The X-Files, starring David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, moved production in B.C. to private property from Crown land due to new permitting procedures involving the use of Crown land.

Lights, camera, permits . . . STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

In the wake of the Thompson-Nicola Film Commission’s busiest year on record, concerns have been raised about the impact new permitting procedures will have on filming in the Thompson-Nicola Regional District. Last week, film commissioner Victoria Weller submitted a report to the TNRD’s board of directors, recommending a meeting be sought with Shirley Bond, minister of jobs, tourism and skills training, at the 2016 Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in September. At issue are concerns about the permitting process production companies must navigate when Crown lands are to be disturbed during filming. Disturbing Crown lands is defined as digging a hole into, or blowing up, a piece of land. The report recommends the creation of a streamlined process. Crown land in the TNRD has been home to a number of productions in recent years, including Monster Trucks, 2012, The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants and The A-Team.

F O R

But there’s concern procedures around permitting may deter future projects. “Motion picture productions wishing to build sets or dig into Crown lands now are faced with new disincentives that will result in the TNRD being negatively impacted,” the report reads. When contacted by KTW, Weller refused to elaborate on the report. “There’s nothing to talk about,” she said. “I think the report speaks for itself. I don’t want to speak about it right now.” Front Counter BC represents Crown lands with production companies and requires a 140-day waiting period before issuing a filming permit in cases where Crown lands will be disturbed. Should productions uncover First Nations artifacts during filming, production must immediately be stopped until an archaeologist is appointed to explore the area. According to the report, “the waiting period and the fear of potentially having to stop activities indefinitely are resulting in some productions not wishing to film on Crown lands, even on locations where filming has taken place several

T H E

L O V E

times before.” In 2015, The X-Files moved from Crown land to privately owned property for those reasons. Weller’s report also comes in the wake of Power Rangers filming in downtown Kamloops, a project expected to have been a significant financial boon for the region. Power Rangers was not filmed on Crown land, but is an indication of the type of impact similar projects can have. Robin Smith, chairwoman of the film commission and the TNRD director for Logan Lake, said time can be of the essence for production companies and some might not have time to navigate the process with Front Counter BC. She’s hopeful a meeting with the minister can alleviate some of the film commission’s concerns with the process. “I understand there are some other film commissions that are struggling with that and it seems to be an appetite of the industry to try and make that change,” she said of the permitting process. “I guess that’s the first step, is just bringing it to the attention of the ministry and letting them know that it has the potential to be impactful.”

Ukrainian dancers bring home medals

Kamloops Ukrainian dancers earned accolades over the weekend at the 21st Annual B.C. Ukrainian Cultural Festival. The event, which is

one of the largest its kind in the province, took place in Mission. Ten dancers, part of the Pokotillo Ukrainian Dancers, travelled from the River City to

perform dancing from the Hutsul, Poltava, Polissia and Bukovyna regions of Ukraine. Collectively, they earned two gold and five silver medals.

The day-long festival took place on Saturday and also highlighted Ukrainian culture, with several vendors selling food, clothing, art and egg-
