Mining company sues KGHM Ajax CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Vancouver-based junior mining company is suing KGHM Ajax, alleging it explored claims with the intention of finding nothing and did not pay an agreed-upon $1.35 million.

Cicada Ventures filed the statement of claim this week in B.C. Supreme Court.

It stated it made a deal with KGHM Ajax in December 2013 that would see the PolishCanadian joint venture pay it $1.35 million for mineral claims, along with a percentage of royalties for any production from the site.

But Cicada said KGHM Ajax did not pay the sum and started drilling in October 2014 without Cicada’s permission.

Cicada’s claims are immediately east of KGHM’s proposed open-pit copper-gold mine on the city’s southern boundary.

“The number, location, depths and angles of the drilling were designed by KGHM to minimize the likelihood that the results from

the testing of the core samples obtained would support further mineral exploration or development around the areas drilled,” the lawsuit states.

Drilling to prove there is no viable resource in order to place mine infrastructure is known as condemnation drilling.

Armed with exploration that found no viable mineral deposit, Cicada alleges KGHM Ajax manoeuvred through the Mines Act to declare it did not require permission from Cicada.

“This effectively evicted Cicada from those portions of the Cicada mineral claims in the form of condemnation drilling, the purpose of establishing that there is no value to all or at least parts of the Cicada mineral claims.”

Cicada said those claims are now destined to be covered by a waste rock dump.

Cicada is seeking $1.35 million, damages, a declaration for 20 per cent royalties from its claims and an order forbidding KGHM Ajax from any form of activity in the claims.

KGHM Ajax has not yet filed a statement of

defence. The claims have not been heard or proven in court.

The two companies have been in the news in past.

Cicada first announced a deal between the firms in January of 2014.

KGHM Ajax denied the purpose was for exploration in a statement sent to Kamloops This Week.

“KGHMI (KGHM International) is in the process of acquiring the Cicada claims only to advance planned Ajax works or infrastructure on a small portion on the northwest fringe of Cicada’s claims, on land KGHMI has long owned,” the company said at the time.

More than a year later, in April 2015, a Cicada official told Kamloops This Week drilling on the claims was occurring at the same time the two companies were negotiating after failing to earlier come to a final deal.

“We’re still negotiating,” Cicada director Sammy Cheng said in April of last year, adding, “I think they want to see what’s there before they buy.”

AH, LI DOES ROPE-A-DOPE

Grade 1 Aberdeen elementary student Haolin Li joins his classmates for some fun in the sun at Riverside Park following a recent visit to the Pavilion Theatre to see Western Canada Theatre’s The Velveteen Rabbit.

Kamloops Mounties have renewed calls for information about a hit-and-run in Sun Peaks last summer that left a Langley man seriously injured.

Michael Bennett was walking with a group of family and friends along Sun Peaks Road at about 2:30 a.m. on July 19 when he was struck by a passing pickup truck.

The 31-year-old was left unconscious and badly injured.

He was rushed to hospital, where doctors discovered bleeding beneath his skull, a broken collar bone and multiple pelvis fractures.

Bennett has since recovered from his injuries.

Two weeks after the crash, Bennett’s fiancée came forward and pleaded for the driver to go to police.

“There were no skid marks, [just] clear tire tracks off the road and then the truck driver drove off,” Kaily Stevens said last August.

“We are only guessing, but maybe the driver passed out, woke when he or she hit Michael and drove off.”

“We have forgiven the driver,” she said. “It was a horrible mistake they made. But we want this person to come forward — not to seek justice, but for the safety of themselves and others on the road.”

The truck involved is described as a dark, older-model pickup, similar to a Chevy S10.

At the time, police said the driver would have known that he or she hit someone and may have talked about it with a friend.

Anyone with information can call police at 250-314-1800 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

Bennett’s family has also posted a $10,000 reward for information leading to a conviction. Call the Lambert and Williams Law Corporation in Victoria at 250-589-2174.

Year-round market idea gets $11K ing another $11,500 to create the steering committee, which will work through July.

A feasibility study commissioned earlier this year by Community Futures and other food-oriented groups, including the Kamloops Regional Farmers’ Market Society, found a year-round market could work financially in Kamloops.

Hotel 540 was recommended as a possible site.

But Culver noted there are a number of other sites popular with vendors, including the former theatre building at the corner of Victoria Street and Sixth Avenue opposite the hotel, the soon-toclose Stuart Wood elementary building and the former Ministry of Highways complex on Columbia Street.

The latter, however, may be a difficult choice, Culver noted.

A plan to create a year-round farmers’ market in Kamloops has hit a crossroads, according to one the project’s backers.

Shirley Culver with Community Futures Thompson Okanagan said a steering committee of about 15 people — mainly farmers, artisans and others who would sell at the market — will spend the next two months narrowing down a location and working with vendors, with the goal of creating a concrete plan to make the market a reality.

“I see this as a real crossroads,” she said. “Either the impetus will be to move ahead with a market, or the impetus will be to not to, and the project will stop.”

Culver said Community Futures is giv-

it and it’s going to be difficult because no one’s returning phone calls,” she said.

Culver said the committee will need to look at the cost of the sites, what upgrades their owners may be willing to make for the market and level of support from vendors for the location.

“That is so critical because everyone’s got strong feelings one way or the other about it.

“And if you pick a site and the community doesn’t like it, it’s not going to work.

You really have to look at the vendors and the site together,” she said.

While nearly 70 vendors have expressed interest in selling at the market, Culver said the committee will also need to determine how many days they are interested in participating, which could range from becoming full-time tenants to setting up a weekly stall.

TRU receives master plan rezoning Thompson Rivers University’s plan to build a university village has cleared another hurdle.

At a public hearing Tuesday night, Kamloops city council unanimously agreed to rezone the university property into a comprehensive development zone and amend Kamloops’ official community plan.

And all our Fabulous Volunteers

TRU hopes to develop condos, townhouses and commercial properties on its campus, similar to what is now in place at Simon Fraser University’s Burnaby Mountain campus.

The university hopes to take proposals from developers later this year.

The master plan will see

three-million square feet developed over three decades, with an expected investment of $1 billion.

In 2008, land at TRU was zoned post-secondary education, with permitted uses including universities, colleges, vocational and technical schools, office/ commercial and multiple

family residential.

The list of potential additional uses include a church, day care, entertainment facility, hotel, museum, stores, pubs, professional and personal services, a recreation facility, restaurants, retail outlets, student accommodation and a trade and technology centre.

NEB recommends pipeline approval CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The National Energy Board says the contentious $6.8-billion Trans Mountain pipeline expansion is in Canada’s best interests, despite increased greenhouse-gas emissions and threats to killer whales off British Columbia’s coast.

The federal regulator issued its long-awaited report yesterday after a two-year debate that cost millions, galvanized aboriginal and environmental protests and prompted mass arrests.

The board recommended Ottawa approve Kinder Morgan Canada’s proposal subject to 157 conditions.

“Given that there are considerable benefits nationally, regionally and locally, the board found that the benefits of the project would outweigh the residual burdens,’’ said Dr. Robert Steedman, chief environmental officer of the NEB, at a press conference.

“Accordingly, the board concludes that the project is in the Canadian public interest.’’

Kinder Morgan wants to triple the capacity of its existing Trans Mountain pipeline, which carries diluted bitumen from

oilsands near Edmonton to Burnaby, B.C. for export.

The pipeline runs through Kamloops, where Kinder Morgan wants the twin line to be built in the Lac du Bois grasslands, rather than next to its existing pipeline through Westsyde below the grasslands.

Kinder Morgan has made a series of deals with First Nations and municipalities in the region in order to garner support.

Earlier this month, Simpc First Nation in the North Thompson signed a benefits agreement. Whispering Pines Indian Band, also in the North Thompson, reached a deal in 2014 it reported would provide between $5 million and $10 million in benefits.

The City of Kamloops has inked a community benefits that would see it receive $700,000.

The municipality of Barriere — on the other side of the river from the proposed twinning — has also signed a deal.

Ron Ignace, chief of the Skeetchestn Indian Band, called the NEB process seriously flawed.

“We ought to be the ones conducting a project assessment on Kinder Morgan,” he said.

“Our process is more robust, deals with aboriginal title rights, traditions and customs. NEB doesn’t do that.”

Skeetchestn and the Tk’emlups Indian Band recently completed a panel-style review of the proposed Ajax mine.

The Skeetchestn’s reserve is distant from the proposed twinning, but Ignace noted the band, in a partnership with Tk’emlups, has a declaration of title south of Kamloops surrounding Jacko Lake.

The current Trans Mountain pipeline runs beside the lake; the twin line is designed to route away from the current line.

“We don’t have an agreement with Kinder Morgan,” Ignace said. “We’ve tried to reach out and have discussions with Kinder Morgan. We’re not there yet.”

Kinder Morgan has also pledged $500,000 in student awards at Thompson Rivers University over 20 years if the pipeline is approved.

Steven Puhallo, executive director of the North Shore Business Improvement Association, said he is “incredibly excited” at the news, seeing it as a major economic boost.

Puhallo said it is expected

workers will be in Kamloops for about two years with their “big construction blob” that will mean spending and jobs in the city.

“Having this kind of project is like winning the lottery for economic development for Kamloops,” he said.

Puhallo also anticipates the work will trigger the planned airport corridor work as the pipeline comes down from Lac du Bois to the airport area.

He called it a trigger for the plan and the discussion will turn to what is wanted in that area.

The expansion would bring capacity to 890,000 barrels a day and increase tanker traffic in Burrard Inlet seven-fold.

The positive recommendation has cleared a major hurdle for the project, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet set to make a final decision by the end of the year.

But Kinder Morgan would have to address 157 environmental, safety and financial conditions, including holding $1.1 billion in liability coverage and detailing its plans to reduce and offset emissions.

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

HOT: The outpouring of support in Kamloops for those impacted by the wildfires in the Fort McMurray region.

There have been many groups in the city and beyond collecting donations of goods and money, so much so that relief agencies in Alberta have asked for a halt to donations of clothing and furniture, etc.

Money, however, always helps and can be donated to the Canadian Red Cross online at donate.redcross.ca. Donations of $5 can also be made each time you text REDCROSS to 30333 on your cellphone.

For more ways you can help, go online to read KTW’s updated story on local groups helping fire victims.

OUR

VIEW

NOT: Kamloops council’s decision to deny Save-On-Foods permission to sell B.C. wines.

Those opposed to Save-On’s bid cited a belief wine in the grocery store would imperil the business of liquor stores, yet this protectionism stance mysteriously vanished when Save-On was faced with the threat of big-box stores and pharmacies moving into the food-selling business.

NOT: The conduct of both Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and opposition members following a testy little incident in the House of Commons this week.

No, Trudeau should not have grabbed the arm of Conservative whip Gord Brown and the PM has apologized for doing so. He also inadvertently nudged NDP MP Ruth Ellen Brosseau in the chest with his elbow.

No, he did not come close to injuring Brosseau, so her absence from the subsequent vote because she was allegedly so rattled reeks of pure politics.

Of Q-Tip and Paul Newman

Y

ou know you are getting old when, for no apparent reason, you begin limping because your knee feels like it has lost every ingredient behind the skin.

You know it’s age because you don’t have a cool backstory (“My knee is swollen because I took three slashes on a breakaway before roofing the puck in overtime last night”) to explain the limp.

Instead, you must simply speak the truth, which is far less sexy: “My knee is swollen because . . . I, um, got out of bed and took a step.”

You know you are really getting old when the preeminent entertainers of your generation start travelling that long chord to the Milky Way Bar (or Red Devil Saloon, depending on character).

It is only May and already this year we have lost some giants, absolute Goliaths, of music: David Bowie, Merle Haggard and, of course, Prince.

But you know you are really, truly, amazingly getting old when the names of some of those legends who have died elicit blank stares from the faces of those a mere generation behind you.

Pop culture being what it is, the fame of Prince and Bowie transcend their core musical genius and they are familiar enough to even those born this century.

Not so the great Haggard, whose songwriting, singing and guitarpicking should be mandatory fare on today’s country-music stations, most of which play anything but country music.

(If DJs in these ‘new country’ radio studios are true countrymusic fans, they must be admiring Hank Williams’ ability to check

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

Newsroom

MUSINGS out early when forced to shelf the brilliance of Jamey Johnson and Sturgill Simpson for the insipid pop nonsense of Sam Hunt and Florida Georgia Line.)

However, I digress.

Icons like Haggard not only defined a generation; they created a sound that served as a springboard to so much more. But mainstream acts they are not, which is why it is understandable, yet still disturbing, that their greatness is drowned out by the vacuousness of Justin Beiber and company.

The next generation was born in the Internet age, in the era of instant entertainment. They navigate a 140-character universe and have attention spans shorter than the length of logic in a city council wine vote. They text rather than talk and rely on social-media headlines instead of full articles for current-event knowledge.

I get all that. It is the way of the now and the future.

Still, even in this age of instant, it never ceases to amaze how completely some legends have disappeared into the mists of time.

Case in point: I was driving down the highway with a member of the next generation (whose

identify will be shielded to protect the innocent). The conversation somehow turned to film and I mentioned a great movie starring Paul Newman.

The name led to a stare as blank as the reasoning behind a city council wine vote.

“You know who Paul Newman is, right?” I asked. “You know, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid? Cool Hand Luke? Cat on a Hot Tin Roof?”

Nothing.

“The salad dressings?”

Still nothing.

Perhaps because I am old and my knee hurts, I got annoyed.

How is it possible a legend like Newman can be a mystery?

The next generation seated next to me took umbrage at my irritation. How was he supposed to know about an actor who died so many years ago?

He then challenged me, asking if I knew who Q-Tip was (or K-Tel or Ice Box or Dreck — it was a rapper of some kind with a silly name).

I had no clue, of course, and I admitted such, with the defence Q-Tip will never be spoken of in the same breath as Haggard or Newman.

Or even Young MC. The next generation just shook his head, rolled his eyes and considered this sad specimen of yesteryear before him.

I tried to copy the next generation’s actions of consternation, but pulled a neck muscle that remains sore to this day.

It may be time to concede the world to these 21st-century upstarts and take advice from the great Haggard: I think I’ll just stay here and drink. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

CITY COUNCIL ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL

RE: LETTER: VISIT TO RIH ER WAS PAINFUL IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE:

Council did not stick its nose into either of those two mega-grocery retailers setting up shop as it wasn’t its place to protect the small, local B.C. company (Save-On-Foods) against the mega-retailers as that is what the public wanted and competition is healthy for all Kamloops consumers.

Save-On was not looking for a new licence to sell alcohol. It was looking to move an existing licence it bought from Discover Wines, which was located in the same shopping centre.

The licence prohibits Save-On from selling wines from anywhere else in the world other than B.C. The licence does not allow the sale of beer, coolers or hard alcohol.

The Okanagan must be laughing at the closed minds in sleepy Kamloops city council.

Editor: Council made the wrong decision.

Selling only local wines would not be a threat to nearby liquor stores.

It would simply be a nice convenience for shoppers at Save-On-Foods.

Who voted this bunch of idiots in?

Not me.

Josie Dal Ponte Kamloops

We all know the Okanagan has not benefited economically from promoting its local wineries.

Councils in Kelowna, Langley, White Rock, South Surrey and, soon, Penticton, have allowed the sale of B.C. wines in Save-On-Foods stores to heavily promote their respective local wineries.

I feel for the likes of Harper’s Trail, Privato and Monte Creek Ranch wineries, which cannot get shelf space in government or private liquor stores other than shoelaceheight single facings.

It is ironic that the city erected “Kamloops Wine Trail” signs.

It should have included the mileage to Kelowna on the bottom of those signs so tourists can find a bottle of our finest Kamloops vino.

Brent Watson Kamloops

Editor: Kamloops council did not make the right decision.

I will not shop in private liquor stores as they are more expensive than government stores.

It would be nice to pick up B.C. wines while shopping. We are so behind. When we are in Arizona or anywhere in the U.S., one can get wine, beer and hard liquor while shopping in grocery stores.

A WRONG DECISION BY KAMLOOPS COUNCIL

50 Single

[speak up]

On Tuesday, city council rejected a bid by Save-On-Foods to sell 100 per cent B.C. wine. Here are some of your thoughts:

Editor: I wasn’t aware our city council also acts as a competition and protection bureau.

As I watched Tuesday’s meeting, I heard several councillors opposed to Save-On’s plan refer to the situation as “David vs. Goliath,” in which it would be unfair if the “Goliath” (Save-On) competed against little “David” (Al Deacon and company) for wine sales.

If council views competition in this light, where were councillors when the largest retailer in the world, Walmart, decided to apply for a variance to its building to sell groceries?

How about when the largest grocery retailer in Canada, the George Weston-group owned Real Canadian Superstore, set up in an already saturated grocery postal code.

Editor: Search for “sour grapes” and you’ll find it defined as “making a false pretence to form a justification” — and that’s exactly what happened Tuesday in Kamloops council chambers.

For those who have been following the saga, they will know B.C. liquor laws recently pulled us all into the 21st century by allowing 100 per cent BCVQA Wine to be sold in grocery stores.

Despite overwhelming public demand, Kamloops council chose to support a minority of half-truths and even some complete untruths presented by those who claim to care about the local economy and deny Save-On-Foods to operate the former Discover Wines BC VQA Wine Store licence mere steps from where it had been located.

In reality, although there are

some legitimate concerns out there, the truth is the sky isn’t falling, nobody is really afraid of a U.S. take-over and everyone is simply doing the best they can adjusting to the new paradigm of bringing B.C. liquor policy out of the Dark Ages.

For 25 years, the B.C. Wine Institute (BCWI) and its members have been staking bold positions for BCVQA Wine on the world stage.

Today, we’re doing the same in our own backyard by defending our right, as determined by the people of British Columbia, to be able to sell our locally grown and produced premium products from the shelves at select local grocery

stores in Kamloops.

We remain absolutely resolute in our mission to expand sales opportunities for our 256 B.C. family-owned wineries across the province, including the wineries and vineyards of the nascent Kamloops Wine Trail.

We will defend our memberowned BCVQA Wine Store licences’ right to operate and sell our wine, wherever that may be.

Sour grapes is no sunny ways and we at the BCWI will be continuing to shine a well-deserved light on our 100 per cent B.C. wines.

Miles Prodan President B.C. Wine Institute

City will be laughing stock of B.C. Editor: All of you who voted against selling B.C. wines in Save-On Foods should give your heads a shake.

What ridiculous arguments.

Why are liquor retailers the only ones who must not face competition?

Coffee shops spring

up everywhere — some survive, some close down. The same is true of restaurants, clothing stores, even quick-cash outlets.

I do not understand why one type of small business deserves to be protected like this.

As for the belief wine sales at Save-On will increase drinking in

Kamloops — really?

Do you honestly believe this?

If so, it’s time you got out of a position influencing decisions affecting us all.

Just read Dale Bass’ column (Bass: The civic-election countdown begins . . . ) — she is right on and many of you will be off council

at the next election due to the frequent and ongoing bad decisions that are emanating from City Hall.

Please try to stop appearing so ridiculous with your decisions.

Our city will soon be the laughing stock of the province.

Linda Scarfo North Kamloops

Okanagan stores offer more selection Editor: I feel many council decisions amount to no more than protectionism for special interests and few represent consideration of the public or other interests.

Although I personally do not approve of any liquor usage, I feel the liquor bylaw clearly is biased toward favouring retailers

with no consideration of producers or the general public.

Are the retailers a special group as opposed to the producers?

I have long silently complained of the policy of protectionism of Kamloops councils and the resultant lack of selection and shopping in Kamloops.

Vernon, Kelowna, Penticton and Salmon Arm stores are generally larger with far more selection and stock than is available in Kamloops. Sadly that is where I end up buying much simply because of availability versus frustration in Kamloops.

Dee Quinton Kamloops

Decision wrong in so many ways Editor: The decision to deny Save-On wines sales is so wrong in many ways. No one else has the protection of the council when a new store opens next door to them.

Why do these people?

Seems to me that at least five of the councilors should join the rest of the world in 2016 or quit.

Some should have retired a long time ago.

New business will be looking at this and wonder if it is worth going through the trouble to open here.

No wonder so many businesses and shoppers go to Kelowna.

McLeod calls PM’s actions an ‘incredible breach’ CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Conservative MP Cathy McLeod called Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s manhandling of her party’s whip and subsequent elbowing of a New Democrat MP inside the House of Commons an “incredible breach.”

The MP for KamloopsThompson-Cariboo was sitting across from the government benches on Wednesday.

“I saw the prime minister leave his chair and appearing very angry,” she said.

MP CATHY MCLEOD McLeod said she lost sight of Trudeau, but did observe the ruckus at the other end of the House. Her views are based on what she saw on video.

“For any parliamentarian, it’s an incredible breach,” She said.

“It’s absolutely unacceptable from any parliamentarian.

“It’s extremely disappointing when it’s your prime minister.”

McLeod said the incident would be unacceptable in any workplace.

“I believe what happened with the NDP member [elbowing] was accidental, not purposeful. Grabbing our whip was purposeful.”

McLeod said the incident comes amid what she called “unprecedented manoeuvres” in the House this week by the Liberal government.

A contrite Trudeau apologized yet again yesterday.

Trudeau rose in the House to apologize to all MPs, the Speaker and also Ruth Ellen Brosseau, with whom he collided on Wednesday while trying to hurry Conservative whip Gord Brown to his seat.

“I sincerely apologize to my colleagues, to the House as a whole and to you, Mr. Speaker, for failing to live up to a higher standard of behaviour,’’ Trudeau told a rapt Commons as the shockwaves from Wednesday’s eyebrow-raising scene continued to reverberate.

“Members, rightfully, expect better behaviour from anyone in this House. I expect better behaviour of myself.’

Tourism Sun Peaks’ new CEO Tourism Sun Peaks has hired Arlene Schieven to succeed Christopher Nicolson as president and chief executive officer.

Schieven is currently president and chief marketing officer of the Sun Valley Marketing Alliance in Idaho.

Nicolson recently joined the Canada West Ski Areas Association as president and CEO. “Arlene’s incredible depth and her 25 years of experience in marketing, tourism and resort management allows us to continue building the future of our international mountain resort,” said John Douglas, chairman of Tourism Sun Peaks.

In addition to Sun Valley, Schieven was previously vicepresident of marketing at tourism Whistler, head of the

“The chance to return home and be

part of the highly regarded Sun Peaks team is an incredible opportunity, particularly as the resort continues to build on its well-earned national and international reputation,” said Schieven, a competitive trail runner, Nordic skier and cyclist who has represented Canada internationally.

“My direct resort experience at both Sun Valley and Whistler have put me in touch with high-profile destinations around the world, but the time is right to return to British Columbia,” she said.

“As a result, I’m looking forward to reconnecting with industry colleagues and friends, while putting my growing network of contacts to work on behalf of Sun Peaks.”

VANDALISM TO DAM What suspects may have thought was a prank or some kind of joke could have had serious consequences to this area.

The damage to the dam, took place between Saturday, April 23rd and May 7th. The water is controlled in this area called Big Dairy Lake Dam in the Cherry Creek, the water supplied is use for agriculture and domestic usage.

For whatever reason the suspects opened a flood gate that controls the water level for the season, more than 500 gallons a minute flowed from the dam during that time. Not only did the suspects open the water valve, the wooden walk way leading to gate was destroyed.

There was a Forestry Service campground that was close and

moved farther down the lake.

There was evidence left behind that the party goers continued to use the area and no doubt had something to do with the damage.

Do the right thing and contact Crime Stoppers, you will never have to go to court or give a statement, only your information will be used, never your name.

ATTEMPTED THEFT OF WIRE This would be thief was caught on camera on Saturday, May 7th at 10:30 pm inside of the BC Hydro Substation on Vicars Rd. The suspect unwrapped a stool of wire and tried to leave the area with the wire.

This thief had a plan to thread the wire through the chain link fence and retrieve it on the other side. For whatever reason this suspect got scared off, leaving the wire behind.

The security camera took a picture

of the suspect although the quality of the photo is not great, someone may recognize this person. The suspect is described as a Caucasian male, thin build, wearing a white dress shirt with the sleeves cut off, the back of the shirt had large design on it.

Fort McMurray fire pushes across border with Saskatchewan Officials say the 5,000-square-kilometre blaze poses no imminent threat to communities THE CANADIAN PRESS

REGINA — The Fort McMurray wildfire that’s been described as a beast has now spread into Saskatchewan, but officials say there’s no imminent threat to any community.

The massive fire, which has grown to 5,000 square kilometres, has burned nearly eight square kilometres into Saskatchewan.

It’s still about 30 kilometres away from La Loche, the nearest

Saskatchewan community.

Emergency management commissioner Duane McKay said there’s no direct threat from the flames, in part because of the lake next to the village and because fires last year mean there’s less brush and trees to burn.

McKay said smoke is a big concern in La Loche.

There’s hope that winds from the east will help clear some of the smoke out of the community.

DEATH OF A ‘LEGEND’

Canadian sensibility grounded Safer’s work, say fellow journalists VICTORIA AHEARN LAUREN LA ROSE

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Morley Safer became entrenched in the U.S. but never lost his Canadian sensibility, said fellow journalists yesterday in honouring the “remarkable career’’ of the Toronto-born 60 Minutes correspondent.

It was a special quality that gave him an edge while reporting on major news events including the Vietnam War, which launched his career to another level, said former PBS journalist Robert MacNeil, who grew up in Halifax and knew Safer.

“He had that little bit of ironic distance that Canadians have about the United States — they love it, they love coming here because it’s a wider sphere of opportunity, but they have that little sardonic twitch about the United States,’’ said MacNeil, during an interview from New York.

“He was the best of the best.’’

Fox News senior national correspondent John Roberts spent 14 years with CBS and said Safer was “like the fixtures on the wall — he was part of the architecture.’’

While they worked in different buildings and didn’t see each other often, they shared a common background as Torontonians and Roberts had fond memories of his encounters with the seasoned journalist.

“He always had a wry sense of humour and this air of sarcasm around him — almost like a wink, a nod that he really knew the inside story and wasn’t completely letting on everything that he knew,’’ Roberts said in a phone interview from Atlanta.

“He always gave you a sense that he knew more than what he was talking about. He was an interesting fellow. A little bit of a curmudgeon to some degree, but you knew that he had the reporting chops to back it all up.’’

CTV chief correspondent and W5 host Lloyd Robertson, who had the chance to meet with Safer on several occasions over the years, called him a “legend’’ for his intrepid reporting in Vietnam.

“As a journalist, he really was a legend in the sense that he

Canadians who have enjoyed success on the air in the U.S. Veteran 60 Minutes correspondent Morley Safer died Thursday following a celebrated career that established him as one of the giants in U.S. broadcasting.

Friends and colleagues remembered the Canadian expat for his groundbreaking field reports, influential investigations and expert storytelling. His impact was felt on both sides of the border, and paved the way for many more Canadian journalists to follow in his footsteps.

MORLEY SAFER

Here’s a look at some of the other Canadians who made major inroads on U.S. news television: Peter Jennings: The anchor and senior editor of ABC’s World News Tonight died in 2005 of lung cancer following a celebrated career in which he became a mainstay for millions of nightly news watchers.

The Toronto-bred newsman was credited with helping to usher in an era of the superstar news anchor, which included Tom Brokaw on NBC and Dan Rather on CBS. Robert MacNeil: The Montreal-born writer and anchor is best known for his long partnership with Jim Lehrer for PBS’s news flagship The MacNeil/Lehrer Report, later known as The NewsHour. His previous news stints included working with Reuters in London, with NBC News as a correspondent in London and Washington, and as a politics reporter for the BBC. He retired in 1995.

Kevin Newman: Before anchoring national news on CTV and Global Television, Toronto’s Newman spent seven years as an anchor and correspondent at ABC News in New York. During that time, Newman hosted and reported for Nightline, World News Tonight and Good Morning America.

John Roberts: This Toronto-born senior correspondent with Fox News Channel was previously seen on CNN as an anchor and national correspondent. But he’s likely still best known for the more than 14 years he spent with CBS News, where he served as chief White House correspondent, chief medical correspondent and weekend anchor of the evening and morning news.

was the one who — in getting at the real truth of what was going on in Vietnam — helped to bring that news story to the forefront,’’ said Robertson.

“And also, I think he probably was the one who — more than any other reporter on the scene at the time — was responsible for making the story what it became, which was a huge news story for the last half of the decade.’’

The Toronto-born Safer began his career at several news organizations in Canada and England — including the CBC —before being hired by the wire service Reuters in its London bureau. He also reported for the CBC’s London bureau before he was hired by CBS News, where he would work for the rest of his career.

Safer died yesterday at the age of 84.

Conrad Black fighting liens placed on mansion Judge hits brakes on speeding MANITOBA

LINDA NGUYEN ALEXANDRA POSADZKI

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Conrad Black is fighting two liens that have been placed on his Toronto mansion that claim he owes more than $15 million in unpaid taxes.

The former media mogul has filed a notice of application with the Federal Court for a judicial review of the liens.

The liens were filed against Black’s home on May 6 and May 10, alleging that he owes taxes from 2002, 2003 and 2008.

The Canada Revenue Agency claims that Black is in arrears in the amounts of $12,307,717 and $3,513,877.

In his notice of application, Black claims the national revenue minister used information that contained “material omissions and inaccuracies’’ and wasn’t “full and frank’’ when applying to the court for the liens.

The document also says there are reasonable grounds to doubt CRA claims that payment would be jeopardized if the collection of the taxes were delayed.

UBLE NEY ACK *

ANTEE

When asked why he is fighting the liens through the courts, he responded in an email: “Where else do you fight an unjust imposition?’’

Black said the liens have delayed the sale and lease-back of the property.

According to the Multiple Listings Service, which tracks real estate sales, Black sold his 23,000-square foot property in the tony Bridle Path neighbourhood to an undisclosed buyer for $16.5 million in March.

Black has three mortgages on the house totalling $15.5 million.

He and his wife, Barbara AmielBlack, had planned on continuing to live in the nine-bedroom, 11-bathroom home, as part of the lease-back arrangement.

At one time, Black controlled Toronto-based Hollinger International, once one of the world’s largest English-language newspaper empires whose flagship publications included the Daily Telegraph, the Chicago Sun-Times, the Jerusalem Post and the National Post.

The estate at 26 Park Lane Circle was originally built by Black’s father, George Montegu Black, and had been in the family for 65 years.

ticket for Winnipeg woman THE CANADIAN PRESS

WINNIPEG — Thousands of outstanding traffic violations may be rendered invalid after a judge ruled that a Winnipeg woman had to wait too long to fight her speeding ticket and threw it out of court.

Provincial court Judge Mary Kate Harvie ruled in a 12-page decision released this week that it was unreasonable for Genevieve Grant to have to wait 18 months to have her case heard.

Court was told Grant was caught speeding on Oct. 27, 2014 by a photo radar camera and mailed an offence notice on Nov. 4, 2014, giving her until Dec. 19 of the same year to decide whether to pay it or plead not guilty.

When she decided to plead not guilty, the trial date was set for 18 months from the date of the offence.

Todd Dube, a spokesman for Wise-Up Winnipeg, a group which advocates for people who get traffic tickets, says the ruling could have an impact on thousands of other ticketed drivers who are waiting for their day in court.

Manitoba Justice says the Crown will review the decision to determine whether the matter will be appealed.

Harvie said a ticket should take only a few months to come to court because of the “minimal amount of time for preparation and a minimal amount of actual court time.’’

Incredible bladder protection.

Incredible promise.

DOUBLE MONEY BACK G *

“It seems reasonable to expect these types of summary proceedings to be completed within four to six months of a plea being entered,’’ she wrote.

Grant was not available for comment yesterday.

Dube said before photo radar was implemented in Winnipeg, it took people about four to five months to get to court, but it’s gotten worse since then.

Canadian regulator approves sale of fastgrowing GMO salmon MICHAEL TUTTON

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Canadian grocery stores have received the regulatory green light to begin selling fast-growing, genetically modified salmon — the first such species to gain such approval from federal agencies.

Health Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency announced yesterday they had completed a scientific review of AquAdvantage’s salmon and it has passed the final regulatory hurdle for the farmed fish.

The fish was developed by U.S.based biotechnology firm AquaBounty Technologies Inc. to promote rapid growth of the fish during early life, using a growth hormone gene from the Chinook salmon in an Atlantic salmon.

The company has one facility in Canada, in Bay Fortune, P.E.I., and a production centre

in Panama.

Dave Conley, a spokesman for the firm, said in an email that it will be a year or more before the firm has any production of marketsized fish.

The agencies say in a news release the fish have met the key hurdle of being “as safe and nutritious for humans and livestock as conventional salmon.’’

The regulators also said genetically modified foods are becoming more common every day and are a regular part of Canadians’ diets.

However, an alliance of environmental groups raised questions about the review process, arguing there wasn’t sufficient public input and — at the very least — the fish should be labelled.

“Canadians could now be faced with the world’s first genetically approved food animal, approved with no pubic consultation and no labelling,’’

said Lucy Sharratt of the Canadian Biotechnology Action Network.

Labelling is voluntary, said Rola Yehia, national manager of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, during a conference call.

“Since in this case there is no health risk identified, there is no requirement for mandatory labelling,’’ she said.

Conley said in an email that the firm hasn’t made any decisions on whether the fish will be labelled with his firm’s brand or an indicator the fish are genetically modified.

NDP Health critic Don Davies said his party believes Ottawa must move to make labelling mandatory.

“If it is safe . . . then labelling should not be an issue,” he said.

“It’s just an issue of consumer protection and their right to know.”

Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay said a special commit-

tee will examine the issues surrounding the genetically modified food and make recommendations on possible labelling.

“It’s a decision for the committee,’’ he said, adding he expects a report back by the parliamentarians on the issue by the end of the year.

AquaBounty has said it plans to produce the salmon eggs in P.E.I. and grow them to full size in Panama, where they will be processed into fillets and shipped back to Canada for sale.

The process has drawn a campaign of public opposition and legal actions from environmental groups.

The Ecology Action Centre and Living Oceans Society say in a news release they’ve launched a court action against the federal approval in 2013 of commercial production of genetically modified fish eggs and fish, and that case is ongoing.

Liberals withdraw controversial motion OTTAWA — Government House leader Dominic LeBlanc says it is withdrawing a controversial motion that would have given the Liberals more control over the ins and outs of parliamentary business.

LeBlanc made the announcement at the start of question period in response to a question from interim Conservative Leader Rona Ambrose.

Had the motion passed, a day in the House of Commons would not have ended until a cabinet minister or parliamentary secretary moved to adjourn proceedings.

It would have also made it harder for the opposition to surprise the government like they did earlier this week, when the Liberals had to scramble to their seats for a snap vote on proposed changes to Air Canada legislation.

The decision to withdraw the motion comes as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is under fire for a physical encounter with opposition MPs on Wednesday night.

Trudeau apologized yet again today for the encounter, which touched off an unprecedented fracas on the Commons floor.

F

or Sebastien Ste Marie, Van Damsel is closer than ever.

Wrapping up what he called its “best” tour yet, Van Damsel is also charting in the United States.

“It’s pretty surreal for four kids from Kamloops getting played all across the States,” he said.

When KTW reached the lead singer in Quebec City via telephone, the indie-pop band had knocked off eight stops on a tour that will bring the quartet to its hometown on Friday, May 27.

Not only is Van Damsel breaking unchartered territory — the band has travelled farther east than on previous tours — it has benefited from better organization, venues and attendance.

“This has been by far the best [tour],” Ste Marie said.

The road has been good to them, but the 29-year-old is looking forward to seeing family and friends in the crowd at CJ’s Night Club next week.

The show won’t end after the last song.

Ste Marie will head to the merchandise booth to shake hands, give hugs and chat with attendees.

“That’s what it’s

Tickets available at these locations:

about,” he said.

There will be much to talk about with the release of Van Damsel on April 22, an album that was a long time coming. Ste Marie said the group started writing many of its 11 tracks three years ago.

“Some of them have gone through 15 to 20 rewrites,” he said.

Ste Marie said that effort — taking their songwriting and technical abilities “very seriously” — has led to major developments.

Late last year, the group placed third in Vancouver’s Peak Performance Project, earning them $50,000.

Then, heading into 2016, they were signed

by MIH Entertainment out of Los Angeles, giving them both man power and financial backing. As of KTW’s press time, Van Damsel’s song Domino was also No. 36 on the AC Top 200 radio chart

in the U.S. — sandwiched between Adam Lambert’s Ghost Town and James Bay’s Let It Go and just two spaces shy of Adele’s When We Were Young.

“They’ve taken us to the next level,” Ste Marie said.

“It’s not easy to get traction in the U.S.”

Metal, Kamloops in Van Damsel’s blood

The Dillinger Escape Plan knows about Van Damsel.

“We haven’t been approached by a lawyer,” Ste Marie said, tongue in cheek.

“So far, so good.”

The vocalist said he

would be honoured if a band did what Vam Damsel did — borrow their name from another group’s track.

“I’d be flattered if a band took their name from one of our songs,” Ste Marie said.

The group’s metal roots goes beyond their link to The Dillinger Escape Plan.

While Van Damsel’s bandmates all knew each other from high school, its other three members — Renny Rennehan, Matthew Barron and Rich Bregoliss — first performed metal as Martagan.

“While they were doing their thing, Richard, Matt and I would just sort of jam out indie-rock stuff just for fun,” Ste Marie said.

When the band broke up in 2009, it paved the way for Van Damsel, writing raw rock songs together before playing shows in mid-2010.

s a kid, Scott Woods wanted to be just like his musician father — so he took up the fiddle, just like dad.

Music was part of family life; dad Merv started his first band in 1944 when he was just 12 years old. Twelve years later, he added pianist Carolyn Dyer to the band and, four years later, he married her.

The children all studied violin and piano and were part of the family band by the time they turned eight.

They toured throughout their home province of Ontario and headed down into the U.S., sharing their love of music.

Woods is still doing it decades later, having taken over his dad’s band in the 1980s.

He estimates the Scott Woods Band does from 100 to 150 shows a year and, during the current tour, will be again at Calvary Community Church on Tuesday, May 31.

Most of the time, the shows are fundraisers for community organizations, non-profits, legions and other elements of the places where they perform. But the Kamloops show came about because the tour was going to be in the area and there was an open date.

While they’re not all family by blood, the band is its own tight family, travelling across the country on a 45-foot bus.

Merv stayed on as manager and sound technician until he died in 2003. Carolyn toured until last year.

Sister Kendra Norris is touring this year, playing not only fiddle, but clarinet, saxophone and accordion and joining in on vocals.

There’s also Patrick

Fiddler Scott Woods and his band perform between 100 and 150 shows a year and will be playing at Calvary Community Church on Tuesday, May 31.

Linton, who takes his school textbooks on the road with him as the 18-year-old is still in high school.

In fact, Woods said as he called KTW from the bus, Patrick was working on some homework as they headed to Saskatchewan for a show.

Patrick is a champion step-dancer, Woods said, starting the craft when he was five and going on to become a step-dance champion in his home province of Ontario. He also sings and plays guitar, bass, cajon and drums.

Steve Piticco, named guitar player and instrumentalist of the year at the Canadian Country Music Awards, is also part of the band.

Wes Dymond is on the drum kit, having taken up the instrument when he was eight.

There are others in

the band — Nadine and Gary Boles, for example, who bring vocals, piano, guitar, mandolin and upright bass. Kyle Waymouth also brings step dancing, drums, bass and fiddle to the mix.

And then there’s Woods himself, who has been named Canadian Open Fiddle Champion, Grand Masters Fiddling Champion and Fiddle Entertainer of the Year. His resume includes his tribute show Memories of Don Messer’s Jubilee.

For a long time, Woods said the band tended to go to larger urban centres with their Love That Fiddle show.

About a dozen years ago, they added smaller centres, playing in legion or community halls. It’s a tough go, Woods said, but they love it.

The show is more than old-time fiddling.

“Even as a fiddler, I wouldn’t want to sit through two hours of just jigs and reels,” Woods said, so they build a show with many genres. There are covers of songs made famous by Johnny Cash and Bob Wills, for example, along with bluegrass, instrumentals, some gospel and comedy.

It’s that last part of the set that has led to Woods’ nickname of the flipping fiddler as he at one point does some flips on the stage while still playing.

He also performs Roll Out the Barrel as he walks on a rolling barrel.

Tickets are $25 for adults, $10 for children ages six to 12 and free for those five and younger. Tickets can be bought at The Horse Barn, 517 Mount Paul Way or by calling 1-855-726-8896.

Syria: The Russians were right

nificantly lowered the level of violence in Syria.

In the longer term, the Russians might be able to produce sufficient changes in the Baathist regime (including Assad’s departure) that some of the non-Islamist fighting groups might break their alliances with al-Qaeda and accept an amnesty from Damascus.

Maybe even the Islamist-controlled areas can be re-conquered eventually. Or maybe not.

It’s a bit late for a peace settlement that preserves Syria’s territorial integrity.

But at least the U.S. State Department has finally abandoned the fantasy of a “moderate” rebel force that could defeat both the regime and the Islamist rebels in Syria, and instead is going along with the Russian strategy.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has wisely given U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry equal billing in the ceasefire initiative and there has been no crowing in Moscow about the Americans finally seeing the light.

Great states never admit mistakes, so there will be no apology from Washington for all the anti-Russian propaganda of the past year.

But it is enough that the U.S. government has actually changed its tune — and that there is a little bit of hope for Syria. gwynnedyer.com

“

Great states never admit mistakes, so there will be no apology from Washington . . .

Baathist regime in place, while compelling it to broaden its base, dilute Alawite influence and stop torturing and murdering its opponents.

An over-confident West rejected that deal, while its local “allies” — Turkey and Saudi Arabia — gave weapons and money to the Islamist rebels who aimed to replace the Baathists with a Sunni Muslim theocracy.

Fast forward to 2015 and, by midsummer, the Islamist forces, mainly Islamic State and al-Qaeda, control more than a third of Syria’s territory.

The exhausted Syrian army is retreating every time it is attacked (Palmyra, Idlib, etc.), and it’s clear to Moscow all of Syria will fall to the Islamists unless Russia intervenes militarily.

So it does.

When the Russian air force started attacking the Syrian rebels last September, Western propaganda went into high gear to condemn it.

Russian President Vladimir Putin “doesn’t distinguish between ISIL [Islamic State] and a moderate Sunni opposition that wants to see Mr. Assad go,” said U.S. President Barack Obama.

WATCH involved the departure from power of alAssad himself — and it could still do so today.

He’s mostly just a figurehead anyway.

He was living in England studying to be an optometrist until the death of his elder brother made him the inevitable heir to the presidency his father, Hafez al-Assad, held for 30 years.

It’s the Baathist regime’s secular character that makes it so important.

Its leadership is certainly dominated by the Alawite (Shia) minority, but it has much broader popular support because all Syria’s non-Muslim minorities, Christian and Druze, see it as their only protection from Islamist extremists.

Many Sunni Muslims, especially in the cities, see it the same way.

They also see it as the one Arab government in the region that has always defied Israel.

The deal the Russians could have delivered in 2012 would have ditched al-Assad, but left the

terrorists — and that’s a recipe for disaster.”

All America’s sidekicks said the same thing.

“These [Russian] military actions constitute a further escalation and will only fuel more radicalization and extremism,” said France, Germany, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the U.S. and Britain in a joint statement on Oct. 2.

The Russians simply ignored the Western propaganda and went on bombing until they had stopped the Islamist advances and stabilized the front.

Then they proposed a ceasefire.

The brutal truth is there is no “moderate Sunni opposition” in Syria any more.

Almost all of the remaining “moderate” groups have been forced into alliances with al-Qaeda’s local franchise, the Nusra Front, and the deal the Russians might have brokered in 2012 is no longer available.

The ceasefire they proposed in late 2015 deliberately left the Islamist groups out — and the United States (better late than never) went along with it.

That ceasefire has now been in effect for more than three months and, although there are many violations, it has sig•

KAM

GLOBAL VIEWS The Russians had a more realistic analysis of the situation than practically anybody else,” said Lakhdar Brahimi, the former United Nations Special Envoy to Syria.

“Everyone should have listened to the Russians a little bit more than they did.”

Brahimi was referring to the Russian offer in 2012 to end the growing civil war in Syria by forcing the country’s dictator, Bashar al-Assad, to leave power.

The Russian proposal went before the UN Security Council, but the United States, Britain and France were so convinced Assad was about to fall anyway that they turned it down.

Why let the Russians take the credit?

So, Assad is still in power, several hundred thousand more Syrians have died and millions more have fled.

But Brahimi’s comments are still relevant because the Russians are still right.

Finally, very reluctantly, the U.S. is coming around to the long-standing Russian position that the secular Baathist regime in Syria must survive, as part of some compromise peace deal everybody except the Islamist extremists will accept (although nobody will love it).

Such a deal back in 2012 would have

hat could be more typically British than ‘a cuppa tea’?

And, almost 1,000 years ago a break for tea (in a manner of speaking) changed the course of English history — or so a charming little tale goes.

I’m standing on a knoll in Sussex, England.

It is a glorious August morning, with a light breeze playing through the trees.

Before me lies a tranquil Constable landscape: a field cross-stitched by hedgerows, which merges into distant woodland.

The only sounds are chittering sparrows and the far-off rumble of traffic floating up from a thread-like highway.

Scroll back to Oct. 14, 1066 — the field in front of me was in turmoil.

Norman archers spewed arrows, Saxon battle-axes flashed murderously and the thunder of cavalry hammered against the consciousness of the wounded and dying.

William of Normandy was getting the worst of it.

The Saxons had the advantage of being

positioned on the hill (where I now stand), while the Normans on the field below were being steadily pushed back.

It was mid-afternoon and a group of Saxons attacked a flank position, chasing the fleeing Normans with whoops of “Ut, Ut,” (“Out, Out”) and “Gutemite” (“God Almighty”).

In desperation, a small group of Norman soldiers unexpectedly turned around to defend themselves.

The Saxons, unable to run uphill fast enough to get back to their own lines, were slaughtered en route.

As the day wore on, both sides were exhausted.

It was a civilized thing in those days to pause to take stock and possibly nibble on refreshments.

“Tea time, chaps!” (or it’s equivalent in Anglo-Saxon English) brought about a mutual lull in hostilities — or so the story goes.

That’s when William of Normandy came up with a brilliant idea.

The earlier aboutturn attack by the Normans had ended in near disaster for the Saxons.

What if the entire Norman army on the flats at the bottom of the hill feigned retreat?

The Saxons would, no doubt, pursue them and, once lured onto a level playing field, the Normans could then

do an about-face and fight to the death.

It worked.

King Harold, pierced in the eye by a stray arrow, lay dead, after which Saxon morale collapsed and William of Normandy became king of England.

He was the last invader to successfully occupy Britain.

Today Battle, the actual site of the conflict, is a small hamlet about 16 kilometres north of the better known town of Hastings.

In celebration of his victory or — depending on who you talk to — in atonement for the thousands of soldiers slain on the battlefield on that fateful day in October 1066, William the Conqueror built nearby Battle Abbey.

Henry VIII, who had scant patience with the Abbey’s significance, all but destroyed it in his drive to eradicate Catholicism in England in the 16th Century.

With the dissolution of monasteries, the Abbey church was reduced to skeletal walls and I pause to read a slab at the site of the original High Altar, which marked the actual spot where the Saxon King was slain.

The ancient Cloisters and Dorters in the Abbey grounds, where the monks once had their living quarters and dormitories, still has an aura that makes for hushed

conversation.

Battle’s market square outside the Abbey grounds is busy and I decide to slake my thirst at the medieval pub Ye Old King’s Head, whose signpost has an artist’s impression of an impressively moustachioed King Harold.

Over a shandy and a ploughman’s lunch plate, a group of locals strike up a conversation with me. They are regretful I’ve missed the big event of the year — the two-week Battle Festival, held either at the end of May or in early June.

“It’s a grand time to visit.” One of them says. “People dress up in medieval costumes. There are jugglers and street musicians and everyone has a jolly time.”

Another one adds, “And you can listen to concerts,

“And see the Maypole dancers. And jousting tournaments,” interrupts a third.

“You don’t have that in Canada, do you?”

I shake my head.

“Nope, ’fraid not!”

RiverDogs share views on Jays, Rangers drama MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

he bat flip, the punch and the brawl highlight the MLB feud between the Toronto Blue Jays and Texas Rangers.

Coles Notes: Jays’ slugger Jose Bautista belts a dinger to break a 3-3 tie in the deciding game of the 2015 American League Division Series in October and celebrates with a bat flip after glancing at Texas pitcher Sam Dyson, a major sign of disrespect, according to baseball traditionalists.

In the teams’ final meeting of the 2016 regular season on Sunday in Texas, Rangers’ pitcher Matt Bush hits Bautista with a pitch in what was likely going to be his last at-bat of the game.

Bautista takes exception to being thrown at and retaliates by sliding hard into Rougned Odor at second base. Bautista and Odor confront one another. Odor lands a hard right hand to stun Bautista.

There is a bench-clearing brawl, which consisted of wrestling, yelling, pushing and the occasional spear tackle.

KTW went to McArthur Island on Wednesday to find the midget AAA Kamloops RiverDogs and manager Sean Wandler. They provided opinions on a few of the key moments that make up one of the most discussed series of events in recent baseball history:

The bat flip

Even manager Sean Wandler, a relatively oldschool baseball guy com-

pared to his teenaged charges, is OK with the bat flip, when the timing is right.

“In a lot of things, I’m a bit of a traditionalist, but I guess you have to wake up to the fact the game is changing and there are younger exciting guys, like [Mike] Trout and [Bryce] Harper who are bringing a different element to the game,” said Wandler, who has been coaching the Dogs for 17 years.

“It seems to be the trend.

In certain circumstances, like the one with Bautista, I don’t see anything wrong with it. It’s the emotion of the moment. The game is changing and we’ve got to adapt with it.”

There were no Goose Gossages to be found at the Sussex Insurance indoor baseball facility on Wednesday, not one RiverDog who was anti-bat flip.

Grade 11 infielder Rhys McKenzie was the closest to opposition KTW could find.

“I don’t know, I guess it’s showmanship,” he said. “I don’t know if there’s much need for it, really. I don’t think I would be doing it.”

Grade 10 shortstop Grayden Baker spoke for most of the team with his opinion on Bautista’s celebration of one of the most important home runs in Blue Jays’ history.

“There’s totally a place in

the game for the bat flip,” Baker said. “It was welldeserved, a clutch hit, a clutch home run and it gave me goosebumps.

“I think there’s definitely a spot when you can brag about it and a spot where you should be respectful to the other team.”

Lucas Lott was asked to share his thoughts and responded similarly to Baker, but did admit he would feel disrespected if playing outfield when an opposing player pimped a home run with a bat flip.

“He was just releasing emotion and they didn’t make the playoffs for a while, but honestly, yeah, I probably would be offended,” he said.

“It’s been in baseball that you don’t do those things.”

That’s the way it has been, with the unwritten baseball code, but the bat-flip section is in the process of being amended, according to Kamloops’ manager.

“That’s what these guys see and I think their mindset will change and, as they move forward and begin to coach the game, they’ll evolve the game as well,” Wandler said.

“I would not allow my guys to bat flip whenever they feel like it. We teach them to have a respect for the game and for your opponent.”

The punch and the brawl

There has been much debate on whether Odor’s powerful haymaker was a cheap shot and there is differing opinions among the RiverDogs.

Rhys McKenzie of the Kamloops RiverDogs has caught plenty of fly balls, but he’s never celebrated a home run with a bat flip. McKenzie and a few of his teammates were asked to chime in on Jose Bautista’s celebration and the more recent brawl between the Toronto Blue Jays and Texas Rangers.

The RiverDogs will participate in a tournament on McArthur Island this weekend. Kamloops will play twice tomorrow at Norbrock Stadium — at 9 a.m. against Prince George and 5:15 p.m. versus South Fraser.

Did Bautista have it coming?

From A23

“If you’re going to be a bit of a cockier player like that, it’s not something you should think is unexpected,” Baker said. “You’ve got to expect things like that.

“What Bautista did [the hard slide into second base] was all right but, obviously, Odor had a different thought on that. He [Bautista] did in a way initiate it by going in with the hard slide.”

Contrary to Baker’s view, Lott said Odor’s right cross that sent Bautista’s helmet and sun glasses flying was a sucker punch.

“A lot of people say he got popped fair and square, but I thought it was a cheap shot,” Lott said.

Wandler said the Rangers did a poor job in levying retribu-

tion and they should not have waited until Bautista’s last at-bat of the seven-game season series to plunk him.

“If you’re going to deal with something like that, it should have been dealt with a long time ago,” Wandler said. “That’s just silly stuff. If you have that animosity with another club, deal with it right away and move on.”

Fourteen players and staff members from the two teams were disciplined, including Odor, who received an eight-game ban, and Bautista, who

was suspended for one game.

The Jays had posted three straight losses since Sunday’s brawl heading into yesterday’s tilt against the hometown Minnesota Twins, a game played after KTW’s press deadline.

Is their collective ego as bruised as Bautista’s chin? Is there any correlation between the losses and Sunday’s Donnybrook?

“All he’s got to do is hit another dinger, do another bat flip and it’ll all be settled,” Baker said, tongue planted firmly in cheek.

“No, with a guy like Bautista, he proves everything with the bat and even his arm in the field proves a lot. The Jays seem like a tight team and they should be fine.”

Maple Leaf Matteo KAMLOOPS KICKBOXER AIMING FOR INTERNATIONAL STAGE ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

It was barely two years ago that Matteo Rawlings was first introduced to the martial arts.

But already the Parkcrest elementary school student is looking to don Team Canada’s Maple Leaf for the second time.

The 11-year-old is in Ottawa this weekend, competing for Team B.C. in the World Karate and Kickboxing Commission (WKC) national championship.

A top-four finish will mean a return to the international stage in the Canadian red and white.

“My strategy is I’m going to go non-stop, the whole round,” Matteo said. He was inside a museum, looking at a mammals exhibit, when he took KTW’s call.

The Kamloops fighter stands 4-foot-5 and weighs in at 76 pounds. He will fight in the under-77 pound weight class for nine- to 11-year-olds.

“Basically, I’m going to be extremely aggressive during the entire round,” he continued.

Matteo began his martial-arts training in March 2014, at the time focused on taekwondo. He started with Kamloops Martial Arts and Thompson Valley Tae

F O R

Kwon Do, winning a bronze medal at the World Martial Arts Games in Richmond at nine years old, roughly six months after his first lesson.

In 2015, he took a step back from competing, switching gyms to study under the tutelage of Matt Baker at Mata-Leao Martial Arts and Fitness.

Matteo now enters the 2016 WKC national championship — the second-largest kickboxing circuit in the world — by his own estimation an improved athlete.

He is the reigning B.C. taekwondo champion and won silver at the 2016 B.C. Provincial Kickboxing Championships.

He will compete at the 2016 B.C. Provincial Karate Championships next weekend.

His goal in Ottawa is to qualify for the world championship in Ireland later this year.

“I can’t believe how fast he’s picking things up,” Matteo’s dad, Patrick, said yesterday. “He’s beating fighters that have been training since they’re six years old. He’s going on two years and three months of training now — he’s not even two-and-ahalf years in yet — and he beats black belts. He’s only a blue-belt level.

“It’s pretty crazy to see how

T H E

L O V E

fast, because he used to be all hockey and then he fell in love with the martial arts and he hasn’t looked back since. He can’t get enough.”

Matteo always wants to be challenged, his dad said.

Should he achieve his goals on the WKC circuit this season, he hopes to compete in the World Association of Kickboxing Organizations, the largest amateur kickboxing circuit in the world, next year.

The Rawlingses are unsure what to expect this weekend in Ottawa, knowing full well the calibre of athletes will be high at nationals. They hope Matteo’s background in tae kwon do — he trains in the Olympic-style of the sport, which is primarily kicking — will give him an added advantage.

Patrick admitted he will be shaking in the stands when his son steps in for his first fight today.

Matteo seemed more at ease.

“I’m kind of excited, but at the same time just a bit nervous,” he said.

“I’m mostly looking forward just to at least getting fourth or higher because if I do, I’m on Team Canada again.”

response was great and the girls are OK,” she continued.

“They did finish their race. Both girls came second and third in their heats, so they certainly used it as an opportunity to race a little bit angry and they are OK.” As for the future of the Family Triathlon Festival, it remains to be seen whether the Spring Sprint and Kids of Steel races will remain combined in the future. The move was necessitated by the closure of the Westsyde Pool.

“From the Kids of Steel perspective, it was absolutely beautiful,” Wright said.

“I think it’s really great for our kids to see what’s next, to be able to look up to somebody that’s racing really, really fast and see that there’s something after Kids of Steel.”

Martin echoed Wright’s sentiments.

“We’d love to continue if we can make it work — or I would, and I suspect the rest of the board would as well,” she said.

“We’ve had really good feedback from lots of the athletes, in terms of how it went.”

The first Kamloops Spring Sprint and Kids of Steel Family Triathlon Festival couldn’t have gone much better, according to race directors.

The festival, which for the first time combined the annual Kamloops Spring Sprint and Kids of Steel triathlons, took place on Sunday, May 15.

“I thought it was amazing,” Kara Wright, the race director for Kids of Steel, told KTW. “If you stood on the field of Brock Pool and looked around, it was wall-to-wall people, excited, having fun, coming through the finish line, faces getting painted.”

A total of 244 athletes finished their races at the festival — 155 Kids of Steel racers, 17 B.C. Summer Games athletes and 60 Spring Sprint competitors, including five teams.

Spring Sprint race director Carla Martin said combining the events was “Fantastic.

“Logistically, obviously, there was lots of growing pains, things we had to work out,

but in terms of what we were wanting to achieve — kids and adults racing together, each of them inspiring each other — I think it went really well,” she said.

The festival was not without its challenges. Combining the two events made for a long day, with races beginning at 7 a.m. and extending into the afternoon. It was a taxing event for volunteers.

There was also a minor incident involving a car and two Kids of Steel racers on Crestline Street. The car was turning into a driveway and bumped a pair of girls on bicycles, hitting one bike in the rear and the other on the frame.

“In 14 years of Kids of Steel, that has never happened before,” Wright said.

Mounties attended the scene, as did emergency responders. The girls were medically cleared after the incident and were tailed the rest of the race.

Wright said the triathlon will likely hire more professional traffic flaggers next year as a result of the incident, replacing some of the volunteers.

Mountain biking world mourning Smith’s loss BLACK PRESS

World champion mountain bike athlete Steve Smith died last week from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident in Nanaimo.

He was 26 years old.

“Today we lost a great person, who taught me about myself and influenced many,” said Devinci Global Racing (DGR) Team manager, Gabe Fox. “Stevie was a fierce competitor, an honest friend and a rider who made me proud on countless occasions. I am honoured to consider him my friend for so long.”

Smith, who is from Cassidy, near Nanaimo, sharpened his mountain biking skills on the rainforest trails of Mt. Prevost. He is no stranger to Kamloops, having competed and ridden trails in the Tournament Capital.

A force on the Canadian downhill racing scene for years, he gained international

Considered by some to be the best-ever Canadian downhill mountain biker, Steve Smith died last week in a motorcycle accident in Nanaimo.

renown in 2013 after three World Cup wins and the World Cup overall title, his sport’s ultimate achievement.

He was named 2013’s Male Individual Athlete of the Year at the Nanaimo Sport Achievement Awards.

Smith was revered by fellow competitors and loved by friends, family and fans, who had been following

what had been an explosive start to the 2016 season.

Pushing past injuries that led to consecutive sidelined seasons, the ‘Canadian Chainsaw’ was back in podium form this past April for the World Cup opener in Lourdes, France, where he finished in second place.

Smith is survived by his mother, sister and

other relatives, and his girlfriend.

Jacques Landry, Cycling Canada’s high performance director, said, Smith was “definitely the best downhill mountain biker Canada has ever known.”

“We are really stunned and disheartened to hear of Steve’s passing,” said Landry in a statement Tuesday.

Fellow DGR athlete Mark Wallace released a statement.

Whitecaps to host Palace THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Whitecaps announced yesterday they will play Crystal Palace of the English Premier League in a friendly on July 19.

The game at BC Place Stadium comes in the middle of Vancouver’s Major League Soccer schedule, while Palace will be in its final preparations ahead of the 2016-2017 season.

“Facing a Premier League side will provide a great test for our club

and great entertainment for local soccer fans,’’ Whitecaps president Bob Lenarduzzi said.

Palace finished 15th in England’s top division in 2015-16, just five points above the relegation zone, but has a chance to win the London club’s first F.A. Cup in tomorrow’s final against Manchester United at Wembley Stadium.

Palace’s North American tour will include games against the Philadelphia Union of MLS on July 13 and FC Cincinnati of the thirdtier USL on July 16.

FAITH

‘It is finished’ — and he became God’s Holy Lamb

T

he last words of Jesus Christ before his death on the cross, according to the Apostle John, an eye-witness, were, “It is finished.”

But what was it that was finished?

Catholic theologian Scott Hahn recalls in his book, A Father Who Keeps His Promises, that when he was training to be a Presbyterian minister, one of his most respected professors admitted he didn’t really know for sure what Jesus meant by “it”.

That sent Hahn on a 10-month search to find the truth.

Most commentaries on this verse of scripture are quite certain about what “it” meant.

The Greek word in scripture is “tetelestai”, an accounting term meaning “paid in full”.

CHRIS KEMPLING

You Gotta Have

FAITH

“It” was mankind’s debt of sin and Jesus was declaring to God the Father that his mission on earth was finished.

By his sacrificial death as the perfect Lamb of God, the sindebt was paid in full, for all mankind, for every generation, and the blood sacrifice of animals was no longer required.

Although it was the moment of his death, it was really the moment of Jesus’ ultimate declaration

of victory over sin and death.

Given the overall agreement by scripture experts on the meaning of “it”, it was somewhat of a shock for Hahn to hear his professor’s admission.

What he found, however, is quite fascinating.

It is important to remember the specific context of Jesus’ statement, what day it was, what time of the day it was and what had occurred the night before at the Last Supper.

Jesus and his disciples were celebrating the Passover, something every observant Jew would do yearly.

The Passover is the Jewish festival celebrating the miraculous deliverance of the nation of Israel from slavery in Egypt.

The prescriptions on how to celebrate Passover are very specific.

Four cups of wine must be drunk and all four have great symbolic significance.

The four cups are based on God’s promises of deliverance in Exodus 6:6-7: “I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from their bondage. I will also redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments. Then I will take you for my people, and I will be your God . . .”

The first cup is the Cup of Sanctification (I will bring you out).

The second is the Cup of Deliverance, while the third is the Cup of Redemption.

The fourth and last cup is the Cup of Restoration, where God says he will take/ restore the people of Israel to be his own, like a bridegroom takes his bride unto

himself.

The Cup of Redemption was drunk after the main meal of Passover — lamb and unleavened bread.

This is the same meal Jesus and the disciples ate when Jesus instituted the sacrament of the Eucharist, now celebrated by Christians everywhere as the Lord’s Supper of bread and wine.

There is one problem, though, and the disciples would have immediately wondered what Jesus was up to —they did not drink the fourth cup.

Mark 14:26 says when they had drunk the third cup, they sang a hymn and “went out to the Mount of Olives.”

In other words, they packed up and left before completing the Passover ceremony.

Why? The likely answers are in the Garden of Gethsemane, then on

Golgotha.

In Gethsemane, Jesus fervently prays, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me . . .”

He prays this three times.

But what cup?

Was it not the cup of the total past, present and future sins of mankind, sins he would have to bear on his own person, a cup so dreadful even Jesus trembled to drink it?

At the “ninth hour” (our 3 p.m.), Jesus said, “I am thirsty.”

A jar full of sour wine was standing there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine upon a branch of hyssop and brought it up to His mouth.

When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, ‘It is finished!’ And he bowed His head, and gave up His spirit.

What was finished was the Passover ceremony, the drinking of the fourth “cup”.

What was fulfilled was the “new cove-

nant”, Jesus’ messianic role as the Saviour of the world and the bridegroom of the church.

He was fulfilling his role as the Lamb of God without blemish or broken bones.

It was the priestly custom to sacrifice a lamb at 3 p.m. daily, the exact time of Jesus’ death.

Even the branch of hyssop used to hold the sponge was the specific wood used to sprinkle the lamb’s blood in the Temple.

Nothing in scripture is by accident.

Jesus completed the Passover ceremony at Calvary and became God’s Holy Lamb.

Please include a very short bio and a photo.

Correction In last week’s Faith column by Chris Kempling (‘Beliefs more than scripture’, May 13), an editing error led to references to Martin Luther to become references to Martin Luther King Jr. Martin Luther is, of course, was the 16thcentury German professor of theology and seminal figure in the Protestant Reformation Martin Luther King Jr., of course, was the leader of the civilrights movement in the United States in the 1960s.

Water Saving Tips:

• Lawns require only an inch of water per week; • Keep your lawn at least 2.5 inches long to maintain moisture; • Leave grass clippings on your lawn for added moisture, nutrients and to help shade roots; • Water in the early morning after the dew has evaporated.

Freedom of religious thought www.kamloops.ca

Obituaries & In Memoriam

Passed away March 7/16

Steven Ronald Bregoliss

DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE & WEEP MARY FRYE (1932)

Steven Ronald Bregoliss took his final flight on the evening of May 6, 2016. Steve passed away peacefully at RIH with his three children by his side.

Steve was predeceased by his father Ronald Bregoliss. He will be greatly missed by his mother Thelma Bregoliss, son Ron Bregoliss, daughters Shana (Chris) Semrick and Kristin (Mark) Ignacz and granddaughters Leaf and Hannah.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,

Steve attended St. Ann’s Academy and Kam High before graduating from UBC as a civil engineer in 1973. He joined his father Ronald in Bregoliss Construction and Plateau Construction. In addition to contract work with Lafarge Canada, Steve’s quarrying and road building contracts led him all over BC. In 1999, Steve accepted a job as the head of Texada Quarrying. Over the next ten years, he would help develop the business into the largest aggregate operation in Canada.

Mr Ed, we are going camping this long weekend and will be really missing you.

But never mind, because we will Definitely be remembering you and having a few shots of Wisers in your Honour.

Steve’s love of flying his Cessna 210 plane was matched only by his extensive resume as an avid outdoorsman. In addition to his involvement with the Kamloops Flying Club, Heffley Creek Gun Club and Kamloops Trap and Skeet Club over the years, Steve also enjoyed hunting trips with his closest friends. He led fishing excursions at the Dean River, Bella Coola, and his love of fishing led him to Florida on an annual basis to wrangle the mighty tarpon fish. Amongst it all, Steve found solace in returning to the family farm where he was greeted by his beloved dog and greatest companion Buddy.

Steve always found room at the table for extra guests and welcomed everyone with open arms. We welcome all who knew Steve to join us for a Memorial Service at 1:00 pm on Saturday, May 28, 2016 at Calvary Community Church, 1205 Rogers Way, Kamloops.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond glint on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you wake in the morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight.

I am the soft starlight at night.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.

I am not there, I do not sleep.

Do not stand at my grave and cry.

I am not there, I did not die!

Should friends desire, donations to Steve’s cousin’s charity: Love is the Answer (loveistheanswer.ca) would be appreciated in lieu of flowers.

(Mary) Arleen Hevey Sunrise: Saturday, August 13, 1927 Sunset: Tuesday, May 10, 2016

The family of Arleen Hevey sadly lost a wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and kind friend on the evening of May 10, 2016. At age 88, she passed quietly and without discomfort in her home with her husband Leo and daughter Lynn by her side.

Arleen was born in Havre, Montana but spent her years growing up since the age of 6 in Antigonish, Nova Scotia. Following school, she studied and became a Lab Technician working in blood services. As a young woman in her early 20’s she moved to Toronto where she met her loving partner for life Leo Hevey. There she busied herself with lovingly raising their family of five children, volunteering with the church and CWL and playing cards with friends and family.

Arleen was always selfless, kind, patient, positive, encouraging, practical and generous in nature. She was an excellent baker and creative with her hands quilting, sewing, knitting, crocheting and working on many crafts which gave her much pleasure. After retirement, time spent wintering in Arizona gave her and Leo much enjoyment over a ten-year period. They developed many deep and lasting friendships during their winter stays.

Arleen’s sweet smile, happy, kind and loving personality, along with her keen sense of humour, will be long remembered by her family. She leaves behind and will be sadly missed by her husband Leo and their five children Mike (Rhonda) Hevey in Okotoks, AB, Lynn (Doug) Gray in Burnaby, BC, Yvonne English in Queensville, ON, Bob (Lesleigh) Hevey in Newmarket, ON, Karen (Jack) Morash in Lac le Jeune, BC, ten grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. She was pre-deceased by her sister Margaret Glenn of St. Andrews, NS and her brother Bill Bray of West Hill, ON. The family wishes to extend their deep appreciation and thanks to the wonderful Care Aides and all the Staff at the Chartwell Renaissance for the love, excellent care and attention that Mom received on a daily basis, making her final years more comfortable as her decline with Alzheimer’s became more challenging.

In her honour, a Mass at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church in Kamloops will be held on Wednesday, June 1, 2016 at 1:00 pm, followed by a coffee/tea reception at the Chartwell Renaissance at 2:00 pm to which all are invited.

For those who wish to do so, in lieu of flowers, a donation to the Alzheimer’s Society would be much appreciated.

Keep the memories of your loved one close at heart with an everlasting impression. We will take a fingerprint from your loved one, you select the jewelry or picture frame and we will provide you with a keepsake to cherish. Call or come in and see us for a look at our jewelry samples.

Elvira “Eli” Maria Fabian April 26, 1945 – May 15, 2016

Elvira “Eli” Maria Fabian of Kamloops passed away on Sunday, May 15, 2016 at the age of 71. She was born to the late Josephine Fodor and Joseph Nemeth on April 26, 1945.

Eli attended school in Vasvar, Hungary where she enjoyed learning history in her formative years. She later became a doctor’s assistant and nurse specializing in treating tuberculosis patients in Hungary before marrying her surviving husband George in 1971. A Canadian citizen since 1975 and resident of Kamloops since 1977, Eli became a dedicated homemaker in Canada and applied her medical skills to care for her son Andras who was diagnosed with Leukemia at the age of 3 in 1979. She volunteered for the Canadian Cancer Society throughout the 1980’s and was a member of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church.

Blessed with incredible culinary senses and talent, she always ensured that family and guests were well taken care of at the dinner table while she remained humbly content to nibble on scraps, trimmings and leftovers.

Her hospitality and kitchen skills were matched by a disarmingly blunt sense of humour and sagely empathy that echoed the myriad hard trials of life that both she and her ancestors had endured. A long-suffering Vancouver Canucks fan, she enjoyed watching hockey, taking brisk walks, engaging in political dialogue, experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, gardening, summer weekends at Shuswap Lake, eating peppers hot enough to make her cry, enjoying a good cup of coffee and spending time with family.

With a congenitally enlarged heart, caring for the wellbeing of others was both natural and integral to Eli’s life. She never forgot anyone’s birthday or special day, and she helped friends and family cope with various issues by carefully listening and providing frank advice or applying her medical knowledge and skills directly.

Her selfless nature, wisdom, resilience, inner strength, sheer determination in the face of adversity and ability to continuously find both optimism and humour in times of darkness will remain a monument of inspiration and

a testament to the good, beauty and potential of the human spirit.

Eli is remembered with love by husband George, her sons Andras and Zoltan, daughterin-law Carman Kwan, brotherin-law Les and wife Eva Fabian, niece Monica Griffiths and family, nephew Leslie Fabian and family, cousin Gyuszi Herczeg and family, relatives Mari and Marti Csakany, close friends Shirley Bohlman and Linda Hall, family friends Frank and Elizabeth Egyed, Julius and Violet Groff, Louis and Anna Borsos, and many other relatives and friends throughout Canada, Hungary, France, Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Eli requested a private post-life service. The family wishes to thank all of those who cared for her during her 8-year struggle with breast cancer, with special mention to Oncologist Dr. Bradley Proctor for his efforts in helping to buy time she would not otherwise have had with us.

Special thanks are also owed to Della and the team of home care nurses and other local health practitioners who contributed to her comfort in her final months. In addition, the family would like to acknowledge the support of Cindy Carstairs, Carol Leeuw and family, Greg Stoodley, Lisa Poier, Brian Maxwell, Carol and Joe Mezes, Marika Steklin, Etus Lerant, Lacsi Kacsor, Irene Labadi, our numerous good neighbours, and everyone who has kept us in their thoughts and prayers throughout this time.

Donations in memory of Eli may be made to The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation BC/Yukon Region by downloading and filling out the following form: http:// www.cbcf.org/central/Documents/Donation_tribute_ online.pdf.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Eufrasia Piccolo (nee Bolzonello) September 30, 1921 – May 17, 2016 It is with sad hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of our mother, grandmother and great-grandmother Eufrasia Piccolo at 94 years of age.

Eufrasia was predeceased by her husband Timothy Rino Piccolo; father Luigi Bolzonello, mother Rita Tosato; brothers Miro Bolzonello, Don Marcello Bolzonello; sisters Maria Bolzonello and Lina Bolzonello.

Born and raised on a farm in Crocetta del Montello in the Province of Treviso, Italy, Mom grew up helping to tend to the animals, garden, grapes and crops. After completing her primary school years she went on to learn the tailor/seamstress trade and worked for a clothing manufacturer in Italy. In 1949 she met her future husband while visiting her sister in Trail and she and Timothy were married in 1950. In 1951 the first of their children was born and in 1952 they moved to Kamloops where she spent the rest of her days. While raising her four children she worked out of the home continuing her sewing trade.

Her children, sewing and gardening were her passions as well as her faith and she was an active member of the CWL. In her later years she joined the Crown Jewels of Canada Society and enjoyed her outings with the ladies.

Prayer Service will held at 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, May 22 at Our Lady Of Perpetual Help Church, 635 Tranquille Road, Kamloops and Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, May 23 at our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, Fr.

Henry Francis (Harry) Lidster died peacefully surrounded by love at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House, Kamloops, BC on May 18, 2016. Born on September 13, 1923, in Regina Sask., Harry spent his childhood there and enjoyed summer vacations on his uncle’s farm just a few hours away by train. Harry, the son of Walter Lidster and Mary Morrow was the third of five boys who had a loving and close relationship. Soon after graduating from Campion College,( where one of his instructors fondly told his mother that he was a “lazy galoot”) Harry enlisted in the Canadian Army. He spent four years in Australia where his intelligence and typing skills were put to use deciphering Japanese coded messages. After the war, Harry married Maria ( Mary) Brescianni and they moved to Vancouver where he completed his teaching degree at UBC. Upon graduation (1951) they moved to Kamloops and Harry began an exemplary 33 year teaching career at Kamloops Secondary---Allan Mathews Campus. Harry was a very popular teacher, vice-principal, and principal who greatly enjoyed his work at Kam Secondary School, John Peterson Junior Secondary and Valleyview Junior Secondary.

Harry was well known in the community as a caring, competent and skilled teacher and coworker. Even students disciplined in his office paid tribute to his compassion and caring.

Harry was very involved with the Kamloops Cursillo Movement, Charismatic Renewal and the parish life of Sacred Heart Cathedral and Holy Family Parish.

After his retirement in 1983, Harry and Mary moved to Winfield where they were active with the food bank, square dancing, golfing and Saint Edward’s Catholic Church. As Mary’s health failed (2000), they moved back “home” to Kamloops. Harry was pre-deceased by Mary his loving wife of 52 years, and son Patrick. Harry is survived by his wife Theresa, children Maureen O’Mara (Bill), Mark (Monie), David (Susan), Cathy Lidster (Tom Volkers), Ruth Lidster (Alan Bogetti), Jerome (Kathryn), Doug (Joanne), brother Ken Lidster , 23 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren.

The Lidster family would like to thank Dr. Victor De Kock, Dr. Pia Pace, the staff of Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House, and the nurses, dieticians and social workers at Royal Inland Hospital for their compassion and kindness.

In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Kamloops Hospice Society or St. Vincent DePaul Society.

Prayers of the faithful will be said at Holy Family Parish on Sunday, May 22, at 5:00 pm. Mass of Christian Burial will be held at Holy Family Parish at 2:30 pm on Monday, May 23rd. Immediately following the Mass there will be a reception in the Church Hall.

Her Journey’s Just Begun

by E. Brenneman

Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun.

Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one.

Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years.

Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away.

And think of her as living, In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much.
