EX-MOUNTIE CHARGED WITH DRUG-DEALING Randi Love was an RCMP officer in Kamloops in June 2015, when she is alleged to have sold cocaine TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A former Kamloops police officer has been charged with three counts of cocaine trafficking — with allegations she was selling the drugs while still employed as a Mountie. Randi Love, who has since retired from the RCMP, is accused of dealing cocaine on three occasions last June, while still a member of the national police force. According to court documents, the 40-year-old allegedly trafficked cocaine on June 13, June 22 and June 26. KTW has learned Love retired from the RCMP in recent months after discovering she was the subject of a drug-trafficking investigation. This is not the first time Love Randi Love, seen here at a 2008 press conference showcasing seized marijuana, was a member of the Kamloops RCMP in June 2015, when it is alleged she was selling cocaine. Love will appear in Kamloops provincial court on June 16. COACH ✹ D&G ✹ BEBE

has found herself at the centre of a criminal proceeding. In 2013, she was a key witness for the Crown in the fraud trial of her ex-boyfriend, disgraced RCMP Const. Trent Wessner. Wessner was convicted, based largely on Love’s testimony, of bilking Costco out of $400 after ordering home-theatre equipment and claiming it was never delivered. During the trial, Wessner claimed Love pinned the fraud on him out of revenge following a nasty breakup. At the time, court heard Wessner left his job with the RCMP and had found work as a railway conductor. Love suffered an injury on the job and had been on medical leave from the RCMP for some time before she is alleged to have trafficked cocaine, KTW has learned. In 2008, her policing duties included media relations and she was, at times, the public face of the Kamloops RCMP detachment. Love is expected to make her first appearance on the drug charges in Kamloops provincial court on June 16.

Weapons, drugs found in van parked at Valleyview motel

Illegal police search sets pair free JUDGE HOPE HYSLOP: ‘CONST. REINBURG’S EVIDENCE IS NOT CAPABLE OF BELIEF’ CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A couple found with two sawed-off guns and a small amount of drugs walked away Tuesday after a B.C. Supreme Court justice ruled an RCMP officer who illegally searched them was “deceptive and manipulative” in his motivations. Eric Noble was charged with possession of prohibited weapons and possession of drugs following a search of a van at the Tournament Inn in Valleyview, while Rox-Ann Haines was charged with possession of a martial-arts weapon. Justice Hope Hyslop — who earlier found the couple’s rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms were breached by police when they were arrested and searched — ruled that admitting the guns and drugs as evidence after the illegal search of the van would bring the administration of justice into disrepute. She dismissed the charges after the Crown indicated it had no other

evidence to proceed to trial. Noble has been in custody for almost a year since the arrest, but was released after the decision. The arrest at the motel on July 8, 2015, was preceded three hours earlier by an incident in which Mounties were in pursuit of a man fleeing a reported domestic incident in Savona, which is about 30 minutes west of Kamloops on Highway 1. The suspect was driving a tan Chevy Venture minivan without licence plates. The van searched by police at the Tournament Inn was a blue Ford minivan with plates. The arresting officer testified he believed the blue Ford could be the same tan Chevy sought by police in the Savona incident. “Const. [Kris] Reinburg ignored all known facts of the Savona investigation, pushed aside evidence of fellow officers and deliberately breached Mr. Noble’s and Ms. Haines’ rights,” Hyslop said in her ruling. Hyslop said she was “regretful to con-

clude” that police neglected to photograph the exterior of the blue Ford minivan for use as evidence in court because they knew it did not resemble the tan Chevy without a licence plate that was the subject of a high-speed chase hours earlier. Defence lawyers Jay Michi and Erin Rines arranged for the van to be brought to the courthouse so it could be photographed and admitted as evidence. “Const. Reinburg’s evidence is not capable of belief,” Hyslop concluded. While Reinburg testified he believed RCMP dispatch reported the licence-plate number was unknown, dispatch in fact told pursuing Mounties the van had no plate. Hyslop ruled last year another search by RCMP was unlawful, resulting in charges dropped against Charles Patrick. He was carrying a loaded shotgun when he was pulled over. His home was called a “chop shop” for guns by a Crown prosecutor. That ruling has been appealed by the Crown.

Ken Brown, the driver of this houseboat, was killed on July 3, 2010, when Leon Reinbrecht drove his speedboat into the vessel in Magna Bay in the Shuswap.

Convictions upheld in boating fatality TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A B.C. Supreme Court judge has upheld the convictions of a man who recklessly drove his speedboat into a houseboat in July 2010, killing the houseboat’s driver, despite the fact it took nearly five years for the charges to get to trial. Leon Reinbrecht’s lawyers argued his convictions should be tossed due to delay, but B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sheri Donegan dismissed that application on Wednesday. “There is a societal interest in ensuring accused are tried on their merits,” Donegan said in her decision, which took two hours to read. “The societal interest in the completion of this trial is high, so when I weigh and balance all these factors, I am satisfied Mr. Reinbrecht’s right to a fair trial has not been infringed in this case.” In October of last year, Donegan found Reinbrecht guilty of criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm in connection to the July 3, 2010, crash in Magna Bay that left houseboat operator Ken Brown dead at the scene and at least five people injured. Donegan ruled Reinbrecht was operating his speedboat recklessly at night after post-Canada Day fireworks when he crashed into the slow-moving houseboat. Reinbrecht’s speedboat ended up completely inside the houseboat.

T H E

It took 17 months from the time of the crash for the Crown to bring charges against Reinbrecht, but that delay did not form part of the defence’s argument. Defence lawyer Joe Doyle argued the 46 months of delay from the time of the charge to conviction is not the fault of his client, a delay he pinned on the courts and Crown. The case has seen one Crown lawyer retire and hand over responsibility to another. Reinbrecht is on his third lawyer. Delays were also caused by Reinbrecht’s fight to obtain legal-aid funding and a key Crown witness’s pregnancy. Donegan found that Reinbrecht suffered some prejudice as a result of the delays, but said society’s interest in the case carried more weight. Members of Brown’s family were present for the decision and they expressed relief after it was read. “Every time we get together as a family, this is what we talk about — the next court date,” said Patti Oliver, Brown’s sister. “He’s alive. Ken is not. People are suffering from this and still are. So, if he suffers, so be it.” Oliver said she’d like to see Reinbrecht punished to the full extent of the law. “The full amount of time, which we understand is about three years,” she said. “He can’t walk away from this.” Lawyers are slated to return to court on May 31 to make sentencing submissions. Reinbrecht is not in custody.

Abandoned campfires lead to fines Enforcement officials found six abandoned campfires over the Victoria Day long weekend, handing out fines in some instances. Rachel Watt, a spokeswoman for the B.C. Wildfire Service, said compliance and enforcement officers with the province conducted patrols on the weekend in the

SUV flips in crash

Kamloops and Vernon fire zones. While tickets were issued for abandoned campfires both on Crown land and in provincial campgrounds, in one case the infraction was under the open burning regulations because the bonfire was so large. The fine for breaking the regulation is $1,150. The amount was tripled this year

The accident scene was spectacular, but injuries were not serious on Victoria Day after a vehicle ran a red light downtown, colliding with a vehicle driving through a green light. Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Edward Preto said the crash occurred at 4:09 p.m. at the corner of Seymour Street and Sixth Avenue.

by the B.C. Liberal government. Steady rains over the long weekend dropped the risk rating in the Kamloops fire zone to a range between “very low” to “low.” Enforcement is conducted by officials with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Protection.

An SUV travelling eastbound on Seymour Street, a one-way thoroughfare, was struck by a car being driven southbound on Sixth Avenue. The driver of the car ran a red light, colliding with the SUV. The collision left the SUV on its roof and shook up occupants of both vehicles, but no serious injuries were reported.

“Initial reports at the scene are that the driver of the car had difficulty in stopping her vehicle at the red light and had entered the intersection at a significant speed,” Preto said, noting police are speaking to both drivers and witnesses to the collision. Mounties are continuing to investigate.

Mounties keep targeting speeders Mounties ticketed nearly 200 drivers in a pre-Victoria Day long weekend safety blitz on Kamloops and area roads last week. RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said 161 drivers were issued speeding tickets and another 26 violation tickets were handed out during enforcement action on Westsyde Road, Morven Place, McQueen Drive, Ord Road, Hillside Drive, Batchelor Drive and the Halston Bridge. In addition, 10 notices were served, 13 warnings

were issued, one 24-hour suspension was doled out and one drug seizure was made. One vehicle was also impounded, Shelkie said, after being clocked at 124 km/h in a 70 km/h zone. The blitz took place on Thursday and Friday of last week. “Because the Kamloops RCMP receives complaints daily about aggressive drivers and speeding, the traffic section will continue to make road safety a priority,” Shelkie said.

“I didn’t realize I had qualified for a refund after looking after my aging mother, and if it wasn’t for Nellie, I never would have known.”

following a traffic stop in Westsyde on Feb. 25. The same day, police executed a search warrant at his house in the 2800-block of Valleyview Drive. “In the residence, 224 grams of cocaine and 1,446 grams of marijuana was seized,” Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said.

“A shotgun and crossbow were also seized from the residence.” Shelkie said Townsend has gang ties. He was initially charged with an additional count of possessing a firearm without a licence, but it was dropped in February. He is due back in court on Monday.

Tourism conference wraps up Shirley Bond, the province’s minister of jobs, tourism and skills training and minister responsible for labour, was at this week’s Tourism Industry Association of BC (TIABC) annual general meeting at Sun Peaks. The conference began Tuesday and wraps up today. Yesterday, Bond launched and officially proclaimed Camping Week in B.C. Camping Week is designed to encourage British

Columbians to get outside to enjoy a fun, safe and secure camping experience with family and friends. Bond also outlined details of a new provincewide initiative for Tourism Week, which runs from May 29 to June 4. Communities have been encouraged to involve their local governments in initiatives that highlight the importance of the tourism industry to British Columbia. Bond also attended the afternoon sector

roundtable session and met with industry delegations before serving as the keynote speaker at a dinner for delegates hosted by the Sun Peaks Grand Hotel. TIABC sessions included keynote presentations on numerous topics, including solutions to the tourism labour shortage, the potential for aboriginal tourism, best practices for leveraging film tourism opportunities, examining government priorities

as they relate to the tourism industry, and discussing lessons learned after a crisis or tragedy in a tourism destination. The Tourism Industry Association of BC advocates for British Columbia’s $14.6-billion tourism economy. In 2014, the tourism industry generated $14.6 billion in revenue, a 5.1 per cent increase over 2013 and a 37.7 per cent increase from figures calculated in 2004.

Webcams added at Hoffman’s Bluff Two new highway webcams are now installed on Highway 1 at Hoffman’s Bluff, giving drivers a real-time view of the section of the TransCanada Highway east of Pritchard, the community just west of Kamloops. The permanent cameras bring the number of highway webcam images across

the province to about 500. The webcams join seven webcams already in use on Highway 1 from Kamloops to Chase. Drivers are encouraged to check DriveBC online before travelling in order to avoid delays. Webcams can be viewed under the Southern Interior tab online at drivebc.ca.

Fostering ingenuity on maker days ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

W’s! 0% deal on Used EVALSO DO W It ends Tuesday! :o

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

In the midst of their maker day challenge, Karla Chernoff and her team ran into a snag. While they had hoped the device they were designing — intended to help seniors pick up objects from the floor — could be rolled around, they had yet to turn up any wheels in their bag of supplies. A few suggestions were considered. Marbles would roll, but how would they be attached? Stealing a nearby janitors’ cart and taking its wheels was also discouraged. Cardboard rolls of duct tape, however, might work. Construction continued. It’s those sorts of brainstorming conversations Desiree Marshall-Peer is hoping Chernoff and her fellow School District 73 teachers will eventually have during maker days in their own classrooms across the city. During a maker day, students are given tools, a range of supplies that can include everything from marbles and fabric to PVC pipe, and told to build a device that will solve a problem they may never have encountered in their daily lives. Marshall-Peer, who teaches at UBC Okanagan and in Salmon Arm, said the goal of the day is to let students try out tools, often for the first time. “So often today, students do not have that opportunity to play and build with tools — and that’s what they need,” she said as about 20 elementary, middle and high

school teachers from across the district hammered and sawed away at their own inventions, meant to help seniors age in place. “Even in here, I would guarantee that half of these people haven’t used a power drill before,” Marshall-Peer said. Sheryl Lindquist, SD73’s trades and transitions district principal, hopes maker days will encourage more students to take up apprenticeship programs and prepare for trades courses. “Kids who have never used hammers and nails and nuts and bolts before, when

you put them in front of them in Grade 1 and 2, you can see right away the kids that just love it,” she said. “But if teachers are afraid to do this because they’ve got no idea themselves, how do you run a day of trades?” Chernoff, who teaches grades 1 and 2, said maker training is out of her comfort zone, but will work well in the classroom. “It’s stretching my brain,” she said. Lindquist said a second round of teacher training is planned for June. She hopes to see about 40 maker days held around the district next school year.

CAN LIBERALS KEEP DUCKING?

rian Bonney, a former B.C. Liberal political operative, has now been slapped with a criminal charge related to the 2013 election. It remains to be seen if Bonney will be convicted of the charge of breach of trust, but it’s another reminder the party as a whole has never really reckoned with the so-called “quick wins” strategy. That was the incredibly insulting strategy hatched by the Liberals to win over various ethnic communities in B.C. through targeted government activity. The government was essentially put at the service of winning re-election for the party. Governments always try to use their power to ensure they are re-elected. They can target tax breaks or programs to communities they hope will support them. They can run endless advertising that talks about their successes. They can cut ribbons and build roads and try to make themselves look good. What they can’t do, ever, is explicitly link a government action to a party re-election strategy. Neither in the run-up to the election nor in victory afterwards has the scandal affected the Liberals very much. A few low-level cabinet ministers resigned their posts and some civil servants and party hacks were shuffled off quietly. Now, however, we’re likely to have a court hearing, maybe even a trial. At some point, Bonney or his lawyers will have to explain who came up with the plan and who signed off on it. British Columbians are getting a second chance to take a look at this scandal, three years after it first appeared out of the murky waters of backroom politics. We’ll get to decide who was really responsible — a few rogue officials, or senior members of the provincial government.

It’s about stories that matter

s you read this, I’m on my way to Edmonton to talk about all things journalism. It’s an annual event held by the Canadian Associations of Journalists, of which I am board chair. I also represent B.C. and the Yukon. Through the years, these events have been celebrations of our industry, populated by eager, enthusiastic and employed reporters, editors and photographers who loved their jobs and looked forward to going to work every day. Not so this year, perhaps even more so than a few years ago, when the CAJ introduced for the first time an unemployed journalist rate to its conference fees. It’s particularly sad to be holding the event in a city that earlier this year saw its major daily newspaper lose a dozen of its editors — including editor-in-chief Margo Goodhand who, ironically, is the reason we are in the Alberta capital this year. Goodhand asked all Canadian media organizations to come to her city to hold our major events, which is why Newspapers Canada and the Alberta Weekly Newspapers Association are also in the city this weekend. Goodhand remains on our list of presenters, joining us for our open plenary — and another reflection of the state of the business — when we try to address what’s wrong with journalism in Canada and, more importantly, what works. I’m eager to hear what she has to say. In an email exchange earlier this week, another presenter sug-

LEVEL gested things that don’t work — things like worrying more about metrics and clicks than in truly focusing on finding stories and telling them properly, using social media and calling it reporting or reporting stories without ever leaving the office. What does work, this awardwinning editor wrote, is understanding the right way to use social media, truly understanding and serving our communities (but not pandering to them) and using online sites for fast-breaking news and print for deeper, more thoughtful work. Another idea that resonated with me is understanding readers define community by areas of interest as much as by geography or civic institutions. That’s where community newspapers have the edge. By our very nature, we have to be part of the community, listening to neighbours, covering the elementary track meet and returning to classrooms to see what students are learning. Much of what I do now harkens back to what I was assigned

to cover when my part-time job in university became a full-time gig at the hometown newspaper. A big city, big circulation daily, it had all the requisite beats: city hall, federal government, provincial government, cops, courts, even a full-time welfare beat reporter. But the powers-that-be felt our coverage could be broader. That’s why they told me and another young, newly hired reporter to create a community news column. They wanted 10 stories a day from the two of us combined — and this was a paper that published six days a week — with none being longer than 200 words and all reflecting the true meaning of community news. They called it Down the Street, a name I hated at the time, but look back on fondly because it’s so accurate. It really is about looking up and down the street, sometimes into the back alleys, to see and hear what people are doing and what matters to them. Eventually, the column space disappeared as community stories become de rigueur on most beats. I’m looking forward to the opening session at the Edmonton conference because amid the doom and gloom are ideas that are working, changing the face of journalism, but still contributing to an informed democracy. The way news is gathered and shared may change, but the core mission remains. Find the stories that matter. Tell them. And expect criticism because it at least means someone is paying attention. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

IT’S WISE TO PROTECT SMALL-BUSINESS OWNERS Editor: The application of governance is a thankless task as you cannot please everyone. In the 1970s, it was a requirement to invest a considerable sum by the way of property value to acquire a liquor licence. We did by purchasing the David Thompson Motor Inn in 1964 and expanding at a cost of $2 million. By suppling 100 rooms for occupancy, a 100-seat restaurant and a 200-seat banquet room and other amenities, we were allowed to build a 450-seat tavern, a 200-seat cabaret and a 100-seat lounge. The investment was protected by the fact any competition would have to invest the same amount of money. We had a successful business that employed 100 unionized workers who enjoyed an income that would support a modest family. We had $4 million in annual sales, paid $100,000 in property taxes, $200,000 in B.C. sales taxes and $1 million in wages and donated $100,000 in sponsorship of local

organizations and charitable groups. As a family, we worked hard, participated in the community and lived a great life in Kamloops. Then the government decided neighbourhood pubs would be a great idea. No problem if the same rules and investment costs applied. Buying land, constructing a building, creating parking and access and paying development cost charges and zoning fees was costly. The answer was to change the rules and allow pubs in a leased property, such as shopping malls. There was no intervention by government to apply the original rules. Then came the cold beer and wine stores, which supplied a more convenient access to liquor sales. Hotels could have licences to sell; however, the cost of providing the facilities was excessive. Another big blow to profits came with the limiting of off-sale beer by pubs to 11 p.m.

(due to four bars in Victoria that had a problem with late sales), which cost us $45,000 in profits each year. The increased supply of outlets with a lower overhead was competition without the same costs and responsibility. Then came the restaurants. The rules were changed again and they were allowed to sell liquor without serving food. This also spread the liquor sales around and the rules were not the same for everyone. So, today we are in a similar position. The provincial government wants to increase liquor sales and its tax revenue. Intervention for stakeholders is left up to the local authorities and supply and demand. Remember that regardless of the type and numbers of liquor outlets in B.C., you will never see cheap booze here like in the U.S. It might be wise to protect the smaller business owners if we want to protect the town.

RETURN TO BATMAN, PLEASE

TRUDEAU’S LACK OF EXPERIENCE SHOWS Editor: One observer noted Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s behaviour in the recent incident, where he physically manhandled a fellow MP, as being unacceptable in any workplace. Well, in fairness to Trudeau, he was at a disadvantage in that regard. His experience in the workplace before becoming PM was his first and only job at age 40 as a part-time drama teacher. So how could Shiny Pony be expected to know how to behave in the workplace? Gerry Paull Kamloops

Editor: To the person or persons who took the small black pelican case from the tunnel at Tranquille farm: I would like to get it back. It was placed in there to monitor bat activity. It has absolutely no value to you, but is of considerable value to me.

ALL DECKS STACKED

Editor: Re: (‘MP McLeod says electoral reform committee a ‘stacked deck’, May 17): Hypocrisy, thy name is Cathy McLeod.

When McLeod’s party had a majority, they had a “stacked deck” on every bill and major decision debated in Parliament and the Senate for the last four years.

Or did she forget all of that after the last election? She doesn’t remember the omnibus bill? It was only two years ago. Now, when she is

part of the minority, she cries foul. How dare a majority government exploit its majority status. It’s preposterous. I mean, I expect people from opposi-

tion parties to complain, as it’s their job, but let’s be honest — if a Conservative or even NDP majority was handling the electoralreform issue, you can be darn sure the deck

would be stacked in their party’s favour as well. It would be nice for once if politicians could just admit that. David Morris Kamloops

MAKING MEMORIES MATTER

THIS WEEKEND

Editor: I would like to thank Kamloops for walking in the 2016 Investors Group Walk for Alzheimer’s.

Through our event and 22 others held around the province on May 1, we raised more than $775,000 to support the work of the Alzheimer Society of B.C. Thank you, Kamloops, for you raised just under $70,000. If you’d like to add a donation to show your support, please go online to walkfor alzheimers.ca today. Funds raised will go toward support services and education resources, as well as helping fund research into the causes and cure. Special thanks to our Kamloops volunteers for their dedication and commitment and to the Mulhern family for sharing their dementia journey with our community. I’d also like to thank all our local media and our provincial sponsors: Investors Group, Cowell Auto Group, Retirement Concepts, Summerland Health Auxiliary, Immediate Images and Global BC. Next year’s event will take place on May 7, 2017. We’ll see you there. Thanks once more for joining us to make memories matter.

Kamloops RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller speaks at the official opening of the city’s new North Shore Community Policing Office on Seventh Street.

North Shore’s own police office

Family owned & operated 285 Fortune Drive • 250-554-2577 www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops Mounties have unveiled their new North Shore community policing office and say it will make life safer for residents on that side of the river. “It’s a pretty nice building,” Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar said. “Certainly it’s very well laid out, easy access for the public.” The office, inside the old Kia dealership on Seventh Street behind Safeway, will provide ample space for North Shore Mounties and volunteers. Milobar said other B.C. cities have recently spent upwards of $50 million on new police detachments, but the Kamloops renovation — funded by city hall — cost $1.6 million. “The downtown detachment was at capacity,” he said. “This has been a much more cost-effective way to expand police services without undertaking that massive capital project at the same time.” The new North Shore office will be home base for up to 12 general-duty officers at a time. RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said the facility will also be available to other RCMP units and will act as the headquarters for local policing volunteers. Public access is available by way of a front counter and Shelkie said North Shore residents are already taking advantage of the service. The former North Shore office was on Fortune Drive near the Strauss building. Shelkie said it served its purpose, but became too cramped. RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller, Kamloops’ top cop, said the new office will alleviate the crowded Battle Street detachment and provide a central location for volunteers to meet and work. “One thing we’re really looking forward to is having all our volunteer programs together under one roof,” he said. “This is going to be a great opportunity for us.”

CALGARY — A Calgary man has been found not

of Matthew de Grood. Macklin said he accepted findings from psychiatric experts

of Court of Queen’s Bench delivered the verdict yesterday in the first-degree murder trial

criminally responsible for killing five people in a stabbing rampage. Justice Eric Macklin

THE CANADIAN PRESS

de Grood was suffering from a mental disorder that rendered him incapable of appreciating or knowing that his actions were wrong,’’ Macklin said. The finding means de Grood will be kept in a secure psychiatric facility pending assessment by the Alberta Review Board. The 24-year-old son of a police officer admits he killed five people at a Calgary house party on April 15, 2014. The trial heard de Grood became withdrawn about a month before the attack and started posting on Facebook about the end of the world, religion, vampires and Darth Vader. De Grood reported hearing voices telling him to kill before he grabbed a knife from a kitchen in the northwest Calgary home and stabbed the victims to death. Killed in the attack were Kaitlin Perras, 23; Lawrence Hong, 27; Josh Hunter, 23; Zackariah Rathwell, 21; and Jordan Segura, 22. Defence lawyer Allan Fay said in his closing argument that his client believed he was defending himself from werewolves and vampires at the time. Prosecutor Neil Wiberg said the experts concluded de Grood was not feigning his mental illness and was incapable of realizing his acts were morally wrong.

Mario Wint pleaded guilty to manslaughter in April after originally being charged with second-degree murder in connection to the January 2015 death of his two-year-old son, Ty, who was hit more than once in the abdomen with significant force. — The Canadian Press

TORONTO — The Tragically Hip will play 11 Canadian shows this summer as part of a tour that is proceeding despite lead singer Gord Downie’s incurable brain cancer. The concerts will begin in Victoria on July 22 and stretch across many parts of the country. The Hip will play the tour’s final show in Kingston, where they formed in 1984. Other stops on the tour include Vancouver (July 24), Edmonton (July 28), Calgary (Aug. 1), Winnipeg (Aug. 5) and London (Aug. 8). Two dates are scheduled for Toronto on Aug. 10 and Aug. 12. The final shows will be in Hamilton (Aug. 16), Ottawa (Aug. 18) and then Kingston (Aug. 20). Tickets go on sale on Friday, June 3. The band’s website frequently crashed yesterday morning following the announcement. Downie’s doctor, neuro-oncologist James Perry, told reporters the 52-year-old father of four has been cleared for the tour, but will be closely monitored to avoid exhaustion on other health issues that could emerge on the road. Perry said Downie was diagnosed after a seizure in December and has been receptive to treatment, suggesting he has a higher chance of longer-term survival.

But the physician also said Downie’s tumour, found in his front left temporal lobe, is impossible to completely remove by surgery and frequently recurs. “Unfortunately, one day it will come back,’’ said Perry, dismissing the possibility of a complete recovery. Surgery removed the bulk of the tumour, while six weeks of radiation and chemotherapy — completed about a month-and-a-half ago — have reduced it even further. “He has returned to his physical, emotional, mental strength well enough now to be able to get back doing what he loves doing,’’ Perry said of the charismatic frontman, known for powerful live performances and poetic lyrics. Perry didn’t anticipate any medical issues in the short term, but said “medical contingencies’’ will be in place throughout the tour. He emphasized that Downie will need to avoid fatigue while on stage. “We all know he doesn’t sit down in a rocking chair and play banjo, so I think we have to be cautious about things like hydration,’’ Perry said. Downie is determined to “blow people’s minds’’ with a raucous Canadian tour, his managers said as fans tried to digest the shocking announcement about the singer’s illness. The Hip will release Man Machine Poem, the band’s 14th studio album, on June 17.

Bank of Canada: Wildfires will hurt economic growth The central bank says the wildfires in Northern Alberta will will cut 1.25 percentage points off real GDP growth in the second quarter.

its key interest rate at 0.5 per cent. The rate is a major factor used by Canada’s big banks in determining their prime lending rates. The central bank noted that growth in the first quarter was in line with expectations and the economy is expected to rebound in the third quarter as oil production resumes and reconstruction of the areas devastated by the fire begins. The downgrade of the second quarter follows similar moves by economists at some of Canada’s big banks. The Bank of Montreal has predicted the economy will contract

“A lot seems to be going as they were expecting when they put out the last [monetary policy report], minus the wildfire which doesn’t have a policy implication. So you add it all up and it is very neutral.’’ BMO expects the Bank of Canada to keep its key interest rate on hold for the next year with rate hikes only coming into view in the second half of 2017. The Bank of Canada’s announcement comes in the wake of economic data that suggests the economy ended the first quarter on a soft note after starting 2016 on a hot streak.

at an annual rate of one per cent in the second quarter due to the Alberta wildfires, compared with the implied contraction of 0.25 per cent based on the central bank’s figures. Bank of Montreal senior economist Robert Kavcic said many economists may have been expecting a little bit more caution from the Bank of Canada in its rate announcement statement. “Bottom line is that the wildfire is going to have an impact on growth in Q2 and Q3, but it is just going to shift the timing of growth around,’’ he said.

“In Canada, the economy’s structural adjustment to the oil price shock continues, but is proving to be uneven,’’ the bank said. Retail sales figures for March, reported last week by Statistics Canada, were lower than expected and followed reports of lower manufacturing and wholesale sales results for the same month. Statistics Canada also reported Friday that the annual pace of inflation climbed to 1.7 per cent in April compared with 1.3 per cent in March. Core inflation, which excludes some of the most volatile items, for the month was 2.2 per cent, up from 2.1 per cent in March. The Bank of Canada said inflation is roughly in line with its expectations, with total inflation slightly below its two per cent target and core inflation close to two per cent. The central bank also noted that the housing market continues to show strong regional differences, reinforced by adjustments ongoing in the economy. “In this context, household vulnerabilities have moved higher,’’ the bank said.

TOP ACHIEVER FOR THE MONTH OF APRIL

OTTAWA — The Bank of Canada said the wildfires that razed parts of Fort McMurray and forced the shutdown of several oilsands operations will exact a toll on the economy, but noted it will be temporary as it kept its key interest rate on hold. The central bank said its preliminary assessment — its first since the disaster erupted earlier this month — suggests the fires will cut 1.25 percentage points off real GDP growth in the second quarter. In its April monetary policy report, the bank had predicted growth at an annual rate of one per cent for the second quarter. “While we don’t know the bank’s updated tracking excluding the wildfires, it’s likely that the bank is tracking a contraction for the second quarter,’’ TD Bank senior economist Leslie Preston said. The Bank of Canada is expected to update its full outlook for the economy and inflation in its next monetary policy report on July 13, when it also makes its next rate announcement. Despite the cut to its expectations for growth in the second quarter, the Bank of Canada kept

advocate for international causes that dominated his foreign policy while in office. Harper resigned as Conservative leader after his party lost the October election, but stayed on as MP for his Calgary riding — a move not without precedent, but which left many wondering how his party could move on if he wasn’t. But he has discussed with several confidants in recent months what he might to do next. Plans are slowly coalescing for a foundation or institute that would focus on foreign policy matters such as advocacy for Israel and Ukraine and maternal, newborn and child health. Spots on several corporate boards are also being considered. Harper, 57, already tested the waters for a role in international affairs when he travelled to Las Vegas in April to speak with the Republican Jewish Coalition on a range of issues, including how to unite a fractured

party and Middle East causes. “Thanks all for a great weekend in support of Israel,’’ read a message from his Twitter account after that meeting. The issue of party unity is expected to be a theme of Harper’s speech to the Conservative convention in Vancouver tonight, when he addresses party members in public for the first time since election night. Some hint of his future plans may also be in those remarks. Harper was first elected in 1993 as a Reform MP and served until 1997, when he left to join a conservative advocacy group. He returned to the Commons in 2002 as the leader of the Canadian Alliance and of the Official Opposition, going on to become the leader of the modern-day Conservatives in 2004. A spokesperson for the former prime minister did not return requests for comment.

STITTLES’ LITTLE LIBRARY Westsyde couple stocks front lawn cabinet with books, offers them for free to passerbys ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

amloops’ newest library isn’t much bigger than a kitchen cupboard, but Melinda and Tyler Stittle’s Little Librarium is already bringing droves of readers to

Westsyde. On a recent Friday night, the Stittles erected the aqua-coloured cabinet stuffed with books on the front lawn of their home on Mccurrach Place. By Monday, Melinda said about 50 people had dropped by to look over the

selection and take something to read for themselves. Using the library is simple. Books are arranged into three age ranges — adult, youth and children — each with its own dedicated and specially decorated shelf. The price of use is a signature in the Stittles’ guest book. “People can use it however serves them best. They can donate a book or they can take a book,” Melinda said. “They don’t have to leave one. It’s just trying to get people involved in their community and literacy.” Neighbourhood libraries — often constructed from cabinets, old bread boxes, or even newspaper boxes — have been

popping up across North America for years, but the Stittles think they may be among the first to bring the concept to Kamloops. The library-tracking website littlefreelibrary.org shows similar projects in Vernon and Kelowna and plenty in the Lower Mainland, but none in Kamloops as of yet. Melinda said she has wanted to set up a library since she lived down the street from one in Vancouver, which she would visit on a weekly basis. Tyler put together the box, using reclaimed siding from the former Tranquille elementary school, while Melinda canvassed friends and co-workers for books to donate to the project.

In addition to the packed library out front, the couple has another chest’s worth of material to keep up with demand. So far, the library has been especially popular with students and staff at David Thompson elementary, where Melinda works, and she’s hoping the project will inspire other Westsyders to get out, grab a book and connect with their neighbours. The couple also wants to see other neighbourhoods start their own local libraries. “We’re just trying to do some things to facilitate a sense of community and bringing people together because people are really disconnected in this day and age,” Melinda said.

Culture clashes with comedy at the county fair DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops Players are bringing a true Evening of Culture to the city, one that is filled with laughter. The next play the local troupe is presenting is the comedy by American playwright Mark Landon Smith, a rollicking funfest set in the tiny Arkansas community of Minneola. To infuse some culture into the populace, the local theatre group is asked to present Romeo and Juliet. In essence, it’s a play within a play with actors who don’t know their lines and who come up with some new interpretations of Shakespeare’s classic tale of fated love. At least one actor leaves his costume at home on opening night, while another decides — right before curtain call — the group should do another play. The audience is definitely not the stereotypical high-brow, either, since Mineola is a home where beehive

hair-dos and tractor pulls are popular. Director Darcy Gorrill said the actors fell in love with it when they read the script at the suggestion of one of the members. “It fits in with a life of community theatre,” Gorrill said. “We also find that most of our audiences love comedy and pieces they might be able to relate to. “As a director, I wanted to push myself

a little bit out of my comfort zone. I have directed comedy before, but never with stage mishaps.” Smith, who calls Jonesboro, Ark., home, writes mostly comedies, including The Really Hip Adventures of Go-Go Girl, Teenagers From Outer Space and Brawl at the Ball. One of his works, Christmas Carol High School, won a Distinguished Play

Award in 2012. An Evening of Culture is a sequel to Faith Country, an earlier work by Smith, also set in Arkansas. It’s another attempt by rural people to bring some culture at the county fair in the arts and crafts category. The actual title of the follow-up is An Evening of Culture: Faith County Two, The Saga Continues. This is the spring

production for Kamloops communitytheatre group that has found a home at the Stage House Theatre, 417 Tranquille Rd., and it wraps up a season that saw the Players present Harvey and a one-act festival. It’s a volunteer theatrical group from the front of house to behind the sets and there is always room for more people. The group has been providing theatrical experiences for 49 years. In the past, the Players have produced works by Norm Foster (Self Help), Noel Coward (Blithe Spirit), Yasmina Reza (God of Carnage) and David Bottrell and Jessie Jones (Dearly Departed). Gorrill said people are needed for acting, but also for other details of producing a play like designing sets, handling the sound and light, coming up with costumes and direction. Donations for costumes or props are also welcome. An Evening of Culture opens tomorrow and continues to

Saturday, June 4. Curtain time is 8 p.m. each night, with a 2 p.m. matinee on May 28. Tickets are $20 and $16 for youth and

seniors. They’re available at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-3745483, kamloopslive.ca and will also be available at the door.

A board and some pins were once all that prevented hobbyists from crashing their radio-controlled (RC) aircrafts. “You had to put a pin on the board so nobody else would use your frequency when you were flying,” Betuzzi said.

The radios automatically pick up channels now, for example, so there’s no need for the old board and pin system. “Everything is a lot more reliable,” Betuzzi said.

ALL ABOARD THE SS SICAMOUS TERESA CLINE

SPECIAL TO KTW

he S.S. Sicamous is a large, five-decked sternwheeler built by the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) for Okanagan Lake service between the fruit communities of Penticton, Kelowna and Vernon. Launched in 1914, the Sicamous served the area until her retirement in 1937. Passengers boarded the ship on the cargo deck before heading up one of the two exterior staircases leading to the saloon deck, which housed an exquisite dining hall featuring an impressive mezzanine balcony and clerestory windows. Located at the bow was the gentlemen’s saloon with bar, while the stern housed the ladies’ saloon, complete with a beautiful bridal suite. Above the saloon deck was the observation deck (or gallery deck), where passengers

DID YOU KNOW? • The S.S. Sicamous was a steam-driven sternwheeler, consuming an average of 15 to 17 tonnes of coal each day. • The vessel remains the largest and only remaining steam-powered, steel-hulled sternwheeler in Canada. • The first captain to pilot the ship was George Estabrooks.

The S.S. Sicamous is located at 1099 Lakeshore Dr. in Penticton. For more information call 250-492-0403 or visit the website at sssicamous.ca.

could admire the beautiful view of Okanagan Lake. As was proper during this time period, the men and women also had their own separate observation areas, with women at the bow and men at the stern. For over a decade after its last run, the S.S. Sicamous floated quietly at Okanagan Landing until it became clear the

CPR would never again run the ship. In 1947, a few buyers showed interest in the vessel, but the CPR wanted the Sicamous to be preserved as a historical vessel and refused to sell her. That is until the Penticton Gyro Club decided to take it on. On Aug. 27, 1951, the City of Penticton agreed to purchase the

Sicamous for $1 and the steamer was towed to her new home. Hundreds of people turned up to witness the Sicamous as she was eased into a trench. Restoration of the vessel proved challenging. Pipes needed to be replaced and a new staircase fitted. Simply providing light, running water and basic amenities cost a

staggering $18,000 in 1952 alone. The boat’s rebirth was on May 24, 1952, with a celebratory party the night before. During the following years, the Sicamous hosted many meetings, gatherings and special events, but caring for the ship proved a bigger job than anyone had anticipated. For the first few

years, the ship was home to the Penticton Museum until a new museum building was completed in 1965. The ship was then used by a host of other businesses, including several restaurants, and even a wax-work museum. By the 1980s the vessel began to fall into a state of disrepair and it was clear something needed to be done. Years of scarce and haphazard repairs were showing their effects and major structural work was needed if the Sicamous was going to survive. In May 1988, the S.S. Sicamous Marine Heritage Society was founded to begin restoring the sternwheeler to its former glory.

Layers of paint, rust and neglect were scraped away, rotten wood replaced and the ship’s wheel re-hung. With its beauty restored, the vessel is now a museum and a popular venue for weddings and special events. Since its formation, the society, which is operated by volunteers and funded by charitable donations, has taken several other heritage lake vessels into its care, including the S.S. Okanagan and the S.S. Naramata, both of which are parked beside the Sicamous. The S.S. Sicamous Marine Heritage Society is operated by volunteers and relies on the support of the City of Penticton and numerous charitable foundations.

The Mazda MX5 (left) was formerly known as the Miata. A million models of the roadster models have sold since it first hit the road 25 years ago. Meanwhile, the Chevrolet Camaro convertible (below) offers plenty of power in its base model but even more is available in 2016 with the new V6 and V8 options.

Cruise in a convertible this summer KEITH MORGAN

SPECIAL TO KTW

drivewaycanada.ca

triking out on a sundrenched highway in a convertible has to be a summer dream for some of us. People talk about the joy of the breeze blowing through their hair but for many of us that’s a long-past fantasy. By the time I was able to afford a cabriolet — if we can be fancy for a moment — I too was topless, as in no hair. It’s a different story today, with convertibles available for wallets of all sizes. Retractable hard tops abound and even soft tops keep out winter storms. For 2016, here are five recommendations for those in the market for a topless model — car that is.

With the exception of my No. 1 choice, the other four cars don’t appear in any specific order of preference.

Mazda MX5

When Mazda introduced this little roadster 25 years ago as a Miata, there were chuckles among aficionados. Underpowered and undersized were among the more complimentary comments cast in its direction. Boy, were the know-alls wrong. Yes, it had some deficits, but it has always been fun, with a capital F. And, it’s since sold a million, received more than 200 awards and is on its way to becoming the best-selling two-seater in the world and World Car of the Year in 2016. The fourth-generation MX-5, as it is now known, is one heck

of a looker. Earlier examples were, wrongly in my opinion, dismissed as girly cars. There’s no way you can dismiss this edition as anything but a fine, sporty cars worthy of its roadster descriptor. It’s now powered with a SKYACTIV-G 2.0 L DOHC 16-valve four-cylinder engine that will offer all you need to indulge your highway fantasy and sip gas at 8.8/6.9L/100 kms (city/hwy). It is offered in three trims, starting at $31,900 and topping our $39,200 for the GT version.

Ford Mustang GT convertible

It’s the original Pony car and it returns to its heritage in its aggressive, sporty, muscle-car styling. There’s a range of engines including the base 3.7-litre V6, a 2.3-litre EcoBoost and 5.0-litre V8.

The Ecoboost equipped version is going to set you back a minimum of $40,448 and the V8 GT has starting sticker price of $49,448. But, let’s talk about the base V6 with the six-speed manual and its minimalist $31,398 base price. Unless you want to race or show off, it does the job and, at a relatively miserly 12.6 /8.5 hwy/10.8 combined L/100km for a beast, it’s a deal.

Chevrolet Camaro convertible

Staying with beef, the Chevrolet Camaro convertible offers some segment leading standard fare. It has a fully automatic hard tonneau top with the capability of opening or closing at speeds up to 48 km/h. When in place, it resembles the coupe version. Offered in LT and SS versions, it’s lighter than the previ-

ous model and offers a greater powertrain range, the base being a two-litre, turbo charged fourcylinder engine matched to a sixspeed manual transmission and it starts at $38,650. An all-new 3.6-litre V-6 version is an option, as is a monster 6.2L V8, but that big guy could take you into the mid-$50,000 range. Drive the base model before you buy because the base powerplant may be plenty powerful for your needs.

Fiat 500c

The Italian mini-car starts at $22,995 and features an economical MultiAir 16V I-4 engine, matched to a five-speed manual transmission. Fuel economy is around 7.6/5.9 L/100km (city/hwy).

Manny Arceneaux and the B.C. Lions will hold training camp in Kamloops for the seventh straight year. The rookies take to the field at Hillside Stadium today. The vets hit the gridiron on Sunday.

MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

For the seventh straight year, the B.C. Lions will conduct training camp at Hillside Stadium, with rookie camp getting underway today and wrapping up on Saturday. Main camp begins on Sunday and continues to June 16. KTW caught up with head coach and general manager Wally Buono, who provided insight on a few storylines that might interest Leos’ fans.

Coach Buono

The Jeff Tedford era was a dark, stormy and brief period in Lions’ history and Buono, the winningest coach in CFL history, has returned to captain the ship. Buono, who relinquished the head coaching reins in B.C. in 2011 after winning his fifth Grey Cup, agreed to move back to the sidelines after the Lions’ 7-11 campaign in 2015, Tedford’s first and

only season in charge. “I’m not sure I would be doing it if I didn’t feel led to do it,” said Buono, whose contract extension as head coach and GM through the 2017 season was announced on March 2. “It’s not something I can say I missed. That’s not the reason why I’m doing this. I’m doing this because I made a commitment to David [Lions’ owner David Braley] on the premise that if the club was in the situation where I had to step back in, I’d consider it. When Jeff resigned, we gave it a lot of thought. “My wife and I prayed about it. I felt a change of, I don’t know if it was state of mind or state of heart, but I felt a totally different spirit about that. It’s best for the club to try to remedy a lot of the ills because we were spiralling in the wrong direction.” The Lions’ tailspin has consisted of three

straight first-round playoff exits (the last two were embarrassing blowout losses) and the club has not posted a winning record since 2013. Buono, 66, has been busy with front-office work, so his return to the field today in Kamloops will feel like the true beginning of his second tenure at the helm. His first, from 2003 to 2011, featured two Grey Cup victories in three appearances. “Most of my work has still been very much focused on hiring staff, procuring personnel and signing free agents from the draft and, in my mind, the club has improved quite a lot,” Buono said. “All the long days, all the hard work, all the challenges, you have to be a little bit of a masochist to say you’re looking forward to that, but coaching has its requirements and I’m ready to fulfill those.”

The trade

Buono pulled the trigger last week on a trade that sent the playing rights to highly touted 23-yearold quarterback Vernon Adams to the Montreal Alouettes in exchange for a firstround pick in the 2017 CFL Draft. The deal was met with both praise and criticism from football pundits, some of whom believe Buono should have done more to land Adams, others who say the prudent decision was to receive good return on an unproven prospect. “When we visited with the agent and gave them our intentions, as far as terms and financial compensation, it was a non-starter,” Buono said. “When the agent says, ‘Well, we might not even show up,’ you didn’t want to start something like this on the negative.

F O R

“He said, ‘Hey, well there are a lot of teams that have an interest in him,’ which tells me something is a little bit maybe unkosher, so we made a few phone calls and [Alouettes’ GM and head coach] Jim Popp had called me before the draft, so I knew he had an interest. The first-round pick is a valuable asset.” If Adams turns out to be a star in La Belle Province, Buono will no doubt be criticized for letting the former Oregon Duck waddle out of town, but the Leos’ GM seems to like what his team has under centre in 2016.

the back of the magic he produced last season, completing 66 per cent of his passes (142of-215) for 2,004 yards, with 15 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in six games. The Lions signed Jennings, 23, to a threeyear extension earlier this month that will see him make $150,000 this season, followed by $175,000 in 2017 and $300,000 in 2018, with up to $60,000 in bonuses each season, according to Farhan Lalji of TSN. Accomplished 32-year-old veteran Travis Lulay — playing on a two-year deal worth $225,000 per year — will fight for the No. 1 job and will be at the ready should Jennings falter during the

regular season. Fans in Kamloops might want to pay interest to the contest for the third-string job at training camp. Greg McGhee, a 6-foot-3, 208-pound pivot who attended Howard University, and Keith Price, the University of Washington product who stands 6-foot1 and weighs 202 pounds, will be in a dogfight for the gig. “I see them as equals in the competition,” Buono said. “I don’t see it as Greg was here last year, so he’s got a bit of an edge. I don’t believe he does. They’re both very competent, very hardworking guys. Now, it’s a matter of who takes charge and who comes out the better.”

The nice thing about Kamloops is there are lots of outdoor activities you can do. I remember a couple years ago, John Beck and I went fishing on the river. It was nice. I also caught a few more trout than he did.

It’s always nice to get away from campus and go to Earls or Shark Club. There’s a group of us veterans that like to hang out and Jovan Olifoye always needs to eat. It’s good to get out and socialize, watch TV and have some good laughs.

At least seven girls on the team have committed to play for Thompson Rivers University. With the victory on the weekend, most of the girls on the team claimed their fifth consecutive Slurpee Cup.

Lions may look elsewhere in 2018 From A23

McGhee, 23, and Price, 24, and are both athletic QBs with strong arms. Price signed with the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent in May 2014, but was released two months later and signed that September by the Saskatchewan Roughriders, who did not renew his contract for 2016. He inked a deal with the Lions in March. McGhee bypassed

the NFL combine and draft and signed with the Lions in 2015 following a four-year career with Howard in which he became the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference’s all-time leader in total offensive yards (10,168).

Kamloops home to high school girls’ rugby provincials ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

For those in Kamloops’ rugby community, the last high school provincial championship held outside of the Lower Mainland is a distant and faded memory — some don’t remember it at all. But that will change this weekend when the Tournament Capital plays host to the 2016 B.C. High School Girls’ Rugby Association (BCHSGRA) Provincial Championships. The event gets underway today and runs through Saturday. Matches will be played on fields at the Tournament Capital Ranch and NorKam secondary. Play begins at 11:30 a.m. today, 10:30 a.m. tomorrow and 8:15 a.m. on Saturday. “Girls’ rugby is kind of in the development stages in the Thompson-Okanagan, but it’s growing and it’s growing pretty fast,” said Andy Van Kuyk, coach of the Valleyview Vikes and the Thompson-Okanagan’s league co-ordinator for the BCHSGRA. “To host this, it’s absolutely huge and to have six in our Thompson-Okanagan actually make provincials this year, at the level of play that we’re at, it’s really big for us.” The 15-a-side championship will feature 24 teams across three divisions — AAA, AA and tier 2. Van Kuyk’s Vikes are ranked No. 4 in AA, the top ThompsonOkanagan club in the division at the championship. The Westsyde Whundas are ranked

TOURNAMENT TO BE HELD OUTSIDE LOWER MAINLAND FOR FIRST TIME IN ‘YEARS’ No. 7 in AA, which is topped by Shawnigan Lake. In AAA, a division led by GP Vanier of Courtenay, the South Kamloops Titans are ranked No. 7. Tier 2, which is ruled by No. 1 Alberni District of Port Alberni, includes the No. 3 NorKam Saints. Rounding out the Thompson-Okanagan contingent, Salmon Arm is ranked No. 5 in AAA and Merritt is ranked No. 5 in tier 2. The provincial championships come to Kamloops at a time when rugby is becoming more prominent both locally and internationally. Girls play rugby at four Kamloops schools. The sevena-side version of the sport, meanwhile, will make its return to the Olympic Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro in August. “The Olympic bid has just helped us enormously, with getting more attention, more national certification opportunities for coaches,” said Sue Kabotoff, coach of the Saints, who has coached girls’ rugby for nearly 20 years. “The culture of the old boys drinking in the clubhouse that is associated with rugby is changing and the girls’ game is really changing that because they are, by sheer nature, playing a more passing, hitting, one-on-one, ruck-type play. I see that as a very positive change in the game. The influence of the sevens has had

a huge impact on the game.” Van Kuyk is hoping his team will finish at its ranking or better in the provincials. Kabotoff said the tier 2 division is a bit

of an unknown, but anticipates her team having a strong showing. Whundas’ coach Janet Bernes, whose program is in its second year, expects the

championship to be a great opportunity for her team to learn and grow. Like the rest of those involved, she is excited for what hosting a provincialcalibre tournament in the city will do for the profile and future of the sport. “I see girls’ rugby

kind of like how girls’ hockey used to be,” Bernes said. “Now it’s the norm for girls to grow up playing hockey — that’s what we want rugby to be.” For more information, including a complete schedule, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com.

Now it’s the “norm for girls to grow up playing hockey — that’s what we want rugby to be.

RiverDogs hoping to have turned the corner SPORTS

Grayden Baker makes a throw for the Kamloops RiverDogs in action against Prince George.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

The Kamloops Players Bench RiverDogs haven’t been focused on the win column to start the 2016 season. Manager Sean Wandler has instead preached consistency, developing fundamentals, playing hard for a full seven innings — do those things and the results will take care of themselves, he said. So, on a weekend when the midget AAA club played host to Big League Experience’s inaugural Best of the West Victoria Day Classic, it was nice for Wandler to see the wins start to go his club’s way. The RiverDogs captured gold at the Classic, winning four of five games and claiming the tournament title in a 3-2 victory over the North Shore Twins on Monday afternoon. “Honestly, I don’t think there was anything different,” Wandler said of his team’s play on the weekend.

The RiverDogs are 7-16 this year, 2-12 in regularseason play. “We’ve been playing good, consistent baseball up to this point,” he continued. “The guys just came out, a couple breaks went our way and we kept on focusing in on doing things right and the fundamentals, day in and day out. “I think it just all came together at the same time and you saw the results.” Kamloops started the weekend with an 8-0 victory over Prince George and lost its only game of the Classic later that day, 5-4 to South Fraser. The club went on to win 10-0 against Nanaimo and 9-4 against Cowichan on Sunday, setting up Monday’s final against North Shore. The Twins, who play in the B.C. Premier League, were unbeaten in 2016 prior to their game against the RiverDogs and led 2-1 heading into the seventh inning. But Vincent Daley scored Lucas Lott with a sacrifice fly to right-centre field in the

top half of the inning to put Kamloops ahead 3-2. Trey Alec pitched the bottom half of the inning, closing out a complete-game victory — allowing just two runs on 11 hits, striking out four — in his first start of the season. Daley said driving in the winning run against North Shore was the bright spot in what had been a tough day at the plate. The victory marked the catcher’s first tournament win — and that of a number of his teammates — since peewee. “Hopefully, you can look back a few weeks from now and see this as a turning point, where we were able to put it all together and play a full seven innings, rather than going well through five and then giving up a few runs,” the 18-year-old South Kamloops secondary student said. “Hopefully, this will be the turnaround for us.” Kamloops will get back to the regular-season campaign this weekend, on the road to face the Ridge Meadows

They will play away games against the Nanaimo Buccaneers and West Kelowna D-Backs, too, before returning to the Tournament Capital to face the Vancouver Mounties on June 12. Wandler didn’t call the win at the Classic a turning point in his club’s season, but said he hoped it would be a confidence booster moving forward, a reminder to stay the course with the lessons he has thus far been preaching. “We were in some tough games, some up and down, some pressure situations — all of those things are just good experiences that you can learn from and move forward with,” he said. “It’s still a long season. We’ve got over a couple months left. I’m sure we’ll have our ups and downs again. Any time you can make it through a real positive weekend and see that your hard work is paying off, it can’t hurt for the future.”

NATIONAL SPORTS

Raps’ bandwagon GAME 7 — WIN OR GO HOME packed with highprofile athletes FRED GOODALL

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LORI EWING AND NEIL DAVIDSON

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Aboard a flight during a recent Toronto Raptors playoff game, Adam van Koeverden had to turn MacGyver to catch it. The WiFi was cutting in and out. The online stream wouldn’t work. So the Olympic kayak champion FaceTimed a friend, who set up his cellphone in front of his television. “My best trick this year,’’ Van Koeverden said. “I go to all lengths to catch the Raptors.’’ Toronto tried to steal a victory in Game 5 in Cleveland last night in a contest decided after KTW’s press deadline. Game 6 gets underway at 5:30 p.m. tomorrow in Toronto. Van Koeverden has squeezed in watching games between training and competitions on his final run-up to this summer’s Rio Olympics. A trip home to Oakville, Ont., coincided with Saturday’s 99-84 victory over Cleveland at the Air Canada Centre. So Van Koeverden was there, in a luxury box next to Canadian sprint sensation Andre De Grasse. “I’ve been a fan of the Raptors since the Vince [Carter] days,’’ said De Grasse, who’s twice flown home to Toronto from his training base in Phoenix to watch playoff games. “It’s amazing to see the team get this deep into the playoffs and I would love to see the team make the finals, the energy in TO will be crazy.’’ The Raptors are just two wins away from the NBA finals and their historic run through the post-season has drawn stars along on the way. Montreal Canadiens star P.K. Subban has become a regular fixture, including at road games in Indianapolis

and Miami. NFL legend Terrell Owens has been courtside at the Air Canada Centre for several games, along with several members of the Toronto Blue Jays and Toronto FC. Canadian tennis star Eugenie Bouchard brought up the Raptors in Tuesday’s news conference at the French Open. “As soon as I wake up it’s the first thing I Google every morning. I watch highlights on the way to the courts,’’ Bouchard said. “The atmosphere seemed amazing over there.’’ Justyn Warner, a member of Canada’s 4x100 relay team that won bronze at the world championships, regularly checks the Raptors app for updates when he’s not near a TV. “I’ll back the Raptors forever,’’ said Warner, who trains with De Grasse in Phoenix. “LeBron [James] is one of my favourite players, but not over my home city. In the last few years, what [coach Dwane] Casey has done to this team has been incredible. [Kyle] Lowry plays with an immense amount of heart and I love that. He wants it for his team and the city.’’ Van Koeverden is also a Lowry fan. “He’s a bulldog, he ends up on his back half the time he goes to the net,’’ he said of the Raptors’ all-star guard. “He works so hard.’’ Warner and Van Koeverden both talked about how sports have put Toronto on the global map, with the Blue Jays’ 2015 playoff run and last summer’s Pan American Games. “Toronto people

have been starved for great sports successes,’’ said Van Koeverden, who, as the son of immigrant parents, calls himself part of a Canadian cohort that wasn’t raised as hockey fans. “It’s been just awesome. It’s about time too. We’re the fourthbiggest city in North America.’’ Van Koeverden watched Raptors’ games over the winter months while training in Australia. Sunday night games aired on Monday mornings in Australia, when he was in the gym. “I’d get all the Australian guys into it,’’ he said. Interest in the Raptors’ playoff run is keen among Toronto FC players but loyalties are divided. Defenders Justin Morrow (Cleveland) and Josh Williams (Copley) are Ohio natives and support the Cavaliers. “I come in when they’re winning and everyone else is upset,’’ said Morrow, who growing up used to see Cavs’ games with his father. “I come in today when they’ve lost and everyone else is happy. So it’s a delicate situation. “When the Raptors play anyone else, I’m a Raptors fan. But when they play against the Cavs, I’m a Cavs fan.’’ Defender Eriq Zavaleta, a native of Westfield, Ind., supports the Pacers whom the Raptors eliminated in the first round. Zavaleta, Williams, goalkeeper Clint Irwin and forward Sebastian Giovinco were all at Game 4 to see Toronto down the Cavaliers and tied the series at 2-2. “It was so loud in there, probably the loudest NBA game I’ve ever been to,’’ said Irwin, a native of Charlotte. “I got home and my ears were hurt-

TAMPA, Fla. — The Pittsburgh Penguins made good on Evgeni Malkin’s pledge to force Game 7 in the Eastern Conference final. Sidney Crosby had a goal and an assist, and Phil Kessel, Kris Letang, Bryan Rust and Nick Bonino also scored on Tuesday night in a 5-2 victory that evened the best-of-seven series with the Tampa Bay Lightning 3-3. Game 7 is tonight, with the Penguins hoping to reach the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 2009 and the Lightning looking to advance to the Cup Final for the second straight year. “I just told them to embrace the moment. It’s a great opportunity for us. These are the type of circumstances to where you have an opportunity to write your own story,’’ Pittsburgh coach Mike Sullivan. “They had a certain mindset going into this tonight: ‘We’re going to leave it all out there and do everything we can to bring this back to Pittsburgh,’’’ Sullivan added. “And, certainly, that’s what they did.’’ Malkin was the most demonstrative of the players expressing confidence the Penguins could take the series back to Pittsburgh, saying he believed in himself, his teammates and that they could return home for a seventh game “for sure.’’ Crosby stepped up with his third game-winning goal of the series. The Penguins’ captain assisted on Kessel’s 5-on-3 power-play goal in the opening period and later skated around Tampa Bay defenceman Anton Stralman into the clear before sending a wrist shot between goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy’s legs for a 3-0 lead in the final minute of the second period. “We know the circumstances. It makes you go out there with a mindset of playing desperate,’’ Crosby said. “I think we had confidence in the whole group. I think everyone played great. Tampa Bay entered the game

Evgeni Malkin said his team would force Game 7 and that’s exactly what the Pittsburgh Penguins did with a 5-2 victory over the hometown Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday. The Pens will play host to Game 7 of the Eastern Conference final tonight, with puck-drop slated for 5 p.m. at the Consol Energy Center.

determined to not come out flat in Game 6 of the conference final for the second straight year. The Lightning beat the New York Rangers on the road to go up 3-2 in that series, but were badly outplayed at home the next game and had to return to Madison Square Garden to finish the series. Now, they’ll have to win on

the road again to make the third Stanley Cup appearance in franchise history. “I know we can. I’ve got confidence in this group. We believe we can do that,’’ Tampa Bay’s Ryan Callahan said. “We’ve had success on the road in the playoffs. We’ve had success in their building already. It’s going to be a good one.’’

Raonic cruises into Round 3 at French Open PARIS — Milos Raonic cruised into the third round of the French Open with a 6-1, 7-6 (0), 6-1 win over Adrian Mannarino yesterday. Raonic fired seven aces past his French opponent and converted on four of seven break-point opportunities. The hard-serving Canadian did commit 17 unforced errors, but he was in form compared to the unsteady Mannarino, who had 30. Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., has yet to drop a set at Roland Garros. He defeated Janko Tipsarevic 6-3, 6-2, 706 (5) in the first round. The eighth-seeded Raonic will face Slovakia’s Andrej Martin in the third round. That match will begin at 1 a.m. tomorrow. (/CP)

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.
