SO LONG, STUART
Principal Blair Lloyd and staff and students of Stuart Wood elementary prepare to say goodbye to the school as it closes next month. The school has been a fixture in downtown Kamloops since 1907. A public open house will be held at the school on Thursday. DAVE EAGLES/KTW

2015 BLOWOUT!
Kamloops’ two MLAs have turned down thousands of dollars from the proponents of the proposed Ajax mine due to concerns accepting the cash could harm the credibility of the mine’s environmental assessment. Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone said it would be “poor optics” to accept a $7,900 donation from KGHM Ajax, which would have entitled the company to a private barbecue dinner with the city’s MLAs. The barbecue was auctioned off Friday night as part of an annual B.C. Liberal fundraiser for both Kamloops ridings. KGHM Ajax external-affairs manager Yves Lacasse made the winning bid. Stone said he and Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake decided to decline the cash soon after the auction ended, since the company’s proposed copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen is still under review by the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office. “Terry and I have prided ourselves on being neutral to this point and ensuring the integrity of the process is protected,” Stone told KTW. “At the end of the day, the decision will be a recommendation that will come from the environmental assessment office to the decision-makers, to the minister of mines and the minister of environment (Bill Bennett and Mary Polak). “We wanted to make sure we were doing everything we possibly can to protect the integrity of that process,” Stone said. “Optics count for a lot, as they should.” Lacasse said Stone called the company to speak with him yesterday and
he agreed to pull his bid. “After we had the conversation, I think we both realized — and there was no ill intention on our part, but I think it was the right decision to withdraw the bid and just move on,” he said. Lacasse said KGHM Ajax was not attempting to curry favour for its controversial mine south of Aberdeen, noting he and Lake already have a friendly relationship dating back to his time as superintendent of the Kamloops RCMP and Lake’s term as mayor. “There were 500 people [at the fundraiser] and the company had a table and they started with the auction, and I think we just got caught up with the whole thing,” Lacasse said. Stone, who is also the province’s transportation minister, said it’s common to auction off lunch or a barbecue with MLAs at the annual fundraiser. In the latter case, winning bidders often keep the barbecue, with MLAs showing up to flip burgers for a night. Meetings with MLAs have raised big bucks for the B.C. Liberals. Earlier this spring, Premier Christy Clark vowed the province would move to real-time disclosure of political donations after media reports of donors spending $10,000 to $20,000 to attend private gatherings with her. Keith Archer, B.C.’s chief electoral officer, said real-time disclosure is possible, but won’t happen before the 2017 election. Stone said auctioning off MLAs’ time is commonplace in B.C. and argued those who can pay aren’t getting special treatment. “Not at all. I would challenge anyone to highlight any decision that Terry Lake or Todd Stone have made that in any way is linked to the support that individuals have demonstrated either for us personally or our part,” he said.

Suspects in Vernon court tomorrow ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
A man and woman accused of going on an extensive crime spree through Kamloops before being collared by police in the North Okanagan are set to make their first appearance in a Vernon courtroom tomorrow. The suspects, a 42-year-old man and a 33-year-old woman, have not been formally charged, so their names have not been made public, but they have been in jail since being arrested on Saturday in Vernon. On Friday, they became the subject of an investigation in Kamloops after being linked to a vehicle police believe was used in a rash of recent lottery-ticket thefts. One of those incidents, KTW has learned, took place last Wednesday
night at the Petro-Can gas station on Rogers Way in Aberdeen, when a customer distracted the clerk by spilling a frozen slush drink away from the till. When the clerk went to clean it up, the lottery tickets were pilfered. RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said an officer patrolling the North Shore found a white Suzuki SUV with Saskatchewan licence plates, believed to be linked to the thefts and arranged to have it towed. Before the tow truck arrived, Shelkie said, two people got into the Suzuki and took off across the river, where a South Shore officer spotted it. Shelkie said a chase was not initiated due to traffic in the area. It was shortly after this that the Suzuki blew through a stop sign at Columbia Street and Eighth Avenue, T-boning a westbound Hyundai SUV
and injuring the two people inside — a man and woman who remain in hospital with undetermined injuries. The crash scene was serious enough to prompt drivers of passing vehicles to stop and offer help, including David Retzer, who left his Ford Focus running while he rushed to the wrecked vehicles and called 911 on his cellphone. While he checked on the couple in the Hyundai, the suspects in the Suzuki stole his Focus and sped away south on Eighth Avenue, eluding police vehicles and a police helicopter. A day later, on Saturday, Vernon Mounties received a report of theft of lottery tickets from a store and were aware of the Kamloops file. Vernon officers found the suspects in the stolen Ford Focus and arrested them.
A sentencing hearing is set next month for a 26-year-old man who murdered his teenaged girlfriend. Last year, Damien Taylor was found guilty after trial of seconddegree murder in connection to the death of CJ Fowler, who was 16 at the time of her slaying. The sentencing hearing, now set for June 24, was delayed several times for preparation of a Gladue report to detail Taylor’s First Nations background. At trial, court heard the pair was visiting friends in Kamloops in December 2012 from their home in Northern B.C. The Crown’s case was built on circumstantial evidence. Fowler’s body, with a concrete chunk on her chest, was found by a person walking their dog in Guerin Creek near downtown Kamloops on Dec. 5, 2012. The couple was last seen on closedcircuit cameras at Royal Inland Hospital, where doctors earlier told the couple that Fowler was pregnant. Fowler had gone to hospital complaining of symptoms from crystal meth use. Taylor testified he had used large amounts of the drug during his time in Kamloops. A pathologist testified Fowler choked to death when her tongue became trapped in her airway, the result of at least one blow to her head and face.

WHISPERING PINES RACEWAY KAMLOOPS SUNDAY, JUNE 5th
Thompson Rivers University has purchased the student residences facing McGill Road for $9 million. The properties had been owned by the Sanesh family, which was about halfway into a 60-year lease agreement with TRU. The family built the accommodations in 1988 for the thenCariboo College. Matt Milovick, TRU’s finance vice-president, said the institution was approached by the Sanesh family to discuss a change in the relationship. The $9 million to buy the residences come from the university’s capital-project reserve account, Milovick said, noting they are now under control of TRU’s housing department and will provide a new income source for the institution.
Milovick said the buildings have “years of life left in them” and he anticipates they will continue as residences for some time. At some point, however, he said it’s possible they will be torn down as TRU moves forward with its university village plan. Nathan Lane, executive director of the Thompson Rivers University Students’ Union, is concerned the planned university village at TRU will become akin to a city — and he sees myriad issues with that. Lane called the existing facilities department charged with maintaining the campus “a great crew,” but he added it struggles with its responsibilities, which include renovation, maintenance and cleanliness and traffic control and parking. Lane said the students’ union doesn’t know much about the longterm development plan beyond what it heard at public events.

“The devil is in the details,” Lane said. He noted there are plans for market-rental condominiums, for example, which he acknowledged could be strong revenue sources. But he wants to know more about where on the campus they will be located and who will maintain them. Milovick said the plan would be on many aspects of the village concept to partner with experienced developers through the TRU Community Trust, which will manage the development. Developers will be responsible for running any strata projects built. Earlier this year, TRU bought the former Canadian Freightways property at the northwest corner of McGill Road and Hillside Drive. At the time, university spokesman Christopher Seguin said it had signed a three-year lease with another firm to use this land while TRU decides how to develop it.

Safe-injection site idea still being considered DALE BASS
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Work continues on a possible safe-injection site in the Interior Health Authority region, but no community has been identified, no potential stakeholders have been engaged and no public meetings have been planned. The idea, first reported by KTW on March 1, stems from the skyrocketing number of drug overdoses and deaths not only in the IHA area, but across the province. In April, provincial health officer Dr. Perry Kendall invoked emergency powers to address the number of fentanyl-related deaths. In March, Dr. Trevor Corneil, IHA’s senior medical officer of health, said the health authority would be increasing the number of hospital beds dedicated to substance abuse in the next two years, start to boost mental-health staffing and
find ways to encourage people to take steps to address their substance use. To date, IHA works with various social agencies to provide drug-withdrawal management, opioid-replacement therapy, counselling and finding housing. It also has Naloxone kits — a drug that can reverse an opioid overdose — available at Royal Inland Hospital’s emergency room, other health-care facilities and at pharmacies. In addition, they can be found at all public-health nursing and mental-health substance-abuse programs. IHA medical officer of health Dr. Silvina Mema said the concept remains in the organizational stages before moving forward. “Safe consumption services are an evidence-based intervention that has been shown to reduce mortality from overdoses,” Mema said. “They are a valuable harm-reduction
tool to reduce the risk for those living with substance use problems.” Moving forward not only requires significant engagement in a community, Mema said, but also an application for an exemption of the relevant clauses in the federal Controlled Drugs and Substance Act. Mema said it is a comprehensive process that will take months. Statistics going to an IHA board meeting today show the death rate per 100,000 people in the health-authority region is two, with just 64 illicit-drug overdose deaths reported. Last year, the rate was the highest in the timeframe studied, rising to 10.2 per 100,000 people — with 476 deaths reported. As of the end of April this year, there had been 45 overdose deaths in the IHA region, including 17 in Kamloops, five of which are linked to fentanyl.
MP McLeod lauds Conservatives’ new course CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Conservative party’s weekend convention was an open and upbeat affair that sets the Tories on a new course, according Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod. McLeod and a party of 10 delegates represented the riding in Vancouver, where they listened to the first public speech from former leader Stephen Harper since the election defeat in
October, debated policy and began the process of renewal before the next federal election in 2019. One of the highlights was the vote to remove its policy declaring marriage can only be between a man and a woman. “I think it’s time our policy document got an update,” McLeod said. “In our [local] delegation, we had 10 people and all were in support.” While the Trudeau government indicated this spring it will bring in laws to legalize marijuana, the Conservatives
want to limit loosening of the rules to decriminalizing possession of small amounts. Party members also voted to strengthen so-called conscience rights of doctors, pharmacists and other health-care providers so they can opt out of assisted dying — a policy McLeod said she strongly supports herself. McLeod and other Conservative MPs were scheduled to push for amendments to the assisted dying bill in the House of Commons late yesterday.
McLeod noted the atmosphere at the party convention was more youthful and open than in past. She contrasted the openness of her party’s convention with the Liberal event held in Winnipeg on the same weekend. “The contrast was interesting. We opened up many sessions, including when we looked at the last election,” McLeod said. “Everyone was open to the media. I compare that to the Liberals, where other than the plenary, it was a closed door.”

Take a walk through Stuart Wood
See video footage at kamloops thisweek.com
lair Lloyd’s links to Stuart Wood elementary are almost built into his DNA. His ties to teaching at the spot where the heritage building now sits are just as deeply ingrained. So, in some ways, he finds it almost kismet he is principal of the school as it moves toward its last days of reading, writing and ‘rithmetic before it is officially closed and its school community moved to another school on McGill Road. Before there was Stuart Wood at the corner of St. Paul Street and Third Avenue, there was another structure closer to the actual corner. It was officially called the Kamloops Public School, but more commonly referred to as The Wooden School — and it was there Lloyd’s greatgrandmother taught in 1901. It had four classrooms, with a fifth added the year his ancestor started teaching there. It also had two outhouses, one for the boys and one for the girls. It was soon dismantled and construction began on what became Stuart Wood elementary, where at least 15 of Lloyd’s relatives and ancestors, including his father Gordon, attended. Gordon remembers having classes up in the third floor, an area that has long since been closed off due to safety concerns. That area will be open on Thursday, however, as staff, students, parents and others with connec-
tions to the historic downtown brick and wood structure take part in official closing ceremonies — and the public is invited to join. “We’re past the point of debating about the school,” Blair said. “And I just want us to honour the school. We’re hosting a party while we’re packing and we want to do it respectfully.” These days, in addition to all the end-of-schoolyear learning and other activities, students are rehearsing O Canada and learning the words to God Save the Queen. Both will be sung at the ceremonies to reflect part of the heritage of the school. A stage will be set up outside with the building and its Doric columns, massive brick walls and original windows providing the backdrop. Speeches will be given, stories told and the school will host an open house from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. It will still be a functioning school the next day, with the replica heritage classroom on the third floor open for tours. Regular classrooms with today’s students will also be open during tours so former students can take a step into their past. Gordon, a retired educator himself, worked with Scott Owens, archivist at the Kamloops Museum and Archives to compile pictures and some history about the school. The information has become an 18-page historical retrospective, copies of which will be available at the ceremonies.

AT STUART WOOD
THE DNA OF A SCHOOL
Heritage BC, in recording some of the historical aspects of the building that make it unique, notes Stuart Wood’s massive masonry construction and roundarched windows, the fanlight above the main door and the large sash windows created to take full advantage of sunlight and fresh breezes. Other aspects identified as character-defining elements include: • Location on a large downtown corner lot. • Use of wood with timber internal framing, wood columns and soffits, the masonry and the internal chimneys. • Retention of interior features, including wooden wainscoting, wood trim, maple floors, plaster and lath walls, panelled doors with original hardware, an internal staircase, the original boiler and coal chute. The school was originally known as Kamloops Public School, but was renamed after its first principal, Stuart Wood, who moved from his hometown of Peterborough, Ont., to Kamloops in 1886. He taught until 1910 and the school was renamed in 1922, two decades before he died. The school was the third in the city, with one originally built at the site of the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre and another one at the Stuart Wood site. Stuart Wood was built by the Mackay Johnson Construction Co. — KTW files
DAVE EAGLES PHOTOS • DAVE_EAGLES@KAMLOOPSTHISWEEK.COM The museum and School District 73 will also have copies for their archives. For Gordon, it’s been a joyful project discovering pictures like that of students in Mrs. Parson’s classroom with their hands dutifully behind their backs, where they were to be kept when they weren’t working. The photo is dated 1919. There’s a picture of a soapbox derby from 1930, attesting to the time when the city would block traffic on Battle Street between Second and Third avenues for derbies. The city would also close the strip in the winter so children could use their sleds, coming to a stop thanks to a mixture of straw, ashes and gravel placed to prevent sleds from heading into traffic. There’s a photo of students with their heads shaved, a hazing practice for those who graduated and were off to high school. And there are pictures of May Pole dances, something that will also be reflected during Thursday’s festivities. A powerpoint presentation of heritage images will be shown in the third-floor classroom. It will also be shown during an earlier event that day, a volunteer tea for parents. “It was a tough decision, but it’s the right decision,” Blair said of the district’s move to close the school, moving students and staff to Beattie elementary and moving students there to the new K-to-12 Beattie School of the Arts on Ninth
Avenue, next to South Kamloops secondary. “This is still an important building,” Blair said of the one named after the first teacher at the Kamloops Public School. Stuart Wood quickly became principal — continuing to teach older elementary students — but had to retire from his job in 1910 due to hearing loss. Blair said students and staff at Stuart Wood are looking forward to the move and, for him, it will be a familiar building as he did his teaching practicum at Beattie and was a vice-principal there. The district has assigned three school buses to take children from the catchment area up to Beattie elementary, which named for another family with deep roots in the area’s teaching profession. “They tested the buses recently, taking a tour of what will be their new educational home and the reaction was positive,” Blair said. While the teachers noted the classrooms seem smaller than the high-ceilinged ones in Stuart Wood, the students loved the bigger gym, large playground and having bathrooms that don’t require going downstairs, as they must do now at their school, an area Blair said some call The Dungeon. In fact, one little one told Blair she thought the name of the school should be changed. “She said it should be called The Cool School because she thought it was a cool school,” he said.

SOME SCHOOL EXAMS NOT MISSED
I
s this going to be on the exam? Well, maybe not. The B.C. Ministry of Education announced last week a major change to the high school education system, reducing the number of provincial exams from five to two. It follows up on the ministry’s 2015 overhaul of the curriculum that put a new emphasis on learning processes. We think eliminating certain provincial exams is an appropriate course of action. Sure, measurables and comparables across B.C.’s system do have some value and cramming probably builds character. But we suspect doing away with the social studies and science exams, for example, will come with positives. The idea is that spending less classroom time copying notes verbatim off a white board leaves more time for lab work, topical discussions and personalized learning. And classroom time has never been at such a premium, what with two-week spring breaks as school boards look to scrimp and save. When it comes to teaching today’s kids, there is no time to waste. It’s worth considering, too, that students really do represent a different generation. The question we used to ask way back when we were pupils — when am I going to need to know this? — has become more valid. Access to technology, and therefore, information, is ubiquitous. The B.C. Teachers’ Federation supports the elimination of exams, but points out personalized learning must come with appropriate classroom composition. Of course, that’s true. It’s the teachers and students who will ultimately determine the success of B.C.’s new curriculum, but it’s up to the government to prioritize education. With a year to go until the election, we’ll be paying attention. We know kids in B.C. are among the smartest anywhere. We don’t need them to write exams to prove it. What we need are students who, even if they ace a test, know they don’t have all the answers and will set about seeking those answers their whole lives.

The charade continues
T
he moving deadline for B.C.’s latest bold plan to control Earth’s weather with taxes has slid from March into June. Now that Premier Christy Clark has jetted back from her latest liquefied natural-gas sales trip to Korea and Japan, brace yourself for the big reveal of Climate Action 2.0, as the second stage of B.C.’s strategy has been termed. The pending LNG industry is just one problem for this realitychallenged scheme to maintain B.C.’s self-declared global climate leadership. Clark’s “Climate Leadership Team,” a mix of industry, academic, environmental and aboriginal representatives, was appointed a year ago to make recommendations for the next step. It concluded that B.C. isn’t going to reach its 2020 emissions reduction target, even if the government implements the team’s recommendation to resume steep increases in the carbon tax starting in 2018. B.C.’s carbon tax and its questionable carbon-neutral government program have not reduced the province’s greenhouse-gas emissions in recent years. They’re going up and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why. Tacking seven cents onto the price of a litre of gasoline may have had an effect at a time when fuel prices were high. That and a global recession actually did reduce B.C.’s greenhouse-gas emissions for a while. Then Saudi Arabia decided
TOM FLECTHER
Our Man In
VICTORIA to depress the world price of oil, cancelling any carbon tax effect for people driving up to the pumps in B.C. and stimulating fuel demand around the world. Now our population and economic growth are rising again, along with carbon emissions. And LNG production and export can only add to that increase. The urgency to create Climate Action 2.0 was so Clark could join Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on a triumphant visit to Paris last winter to work out the latest international climate deal. Trudeau then started to let his own urgent climate crisis deadline slip back. This routine has been going on since Jean Chrétien signed Canada up for its first fantasy target in Kyoto, Japan, almost 20 years ago. And the prospects for Paris don’t look much different. Don’t take my word for it. Nicholas Rivers, Canada Research Chair in Climate and Energy Policy at the University of Ottawa, wrote last week of the Paris deal: “These targets essen-
tially require that developed countries such as Canada completely eliminate greenhousegas emissions by 2050 or shortly after.” “Completely eliminate.” Not only does that mean an end to the oil and gas industry, it means no more air travel, unless somebody comes up with a battery-powered airliner pretty soon. Note that Rivers is describing the actions expected of developed countries. China has agreed that its steeply rising greenhouse gases will level off “around 2030,” according to the pathetically one-sided deal negotiated by U.S. President Barack Obama in 2014. Trudeau has decided that provinces must find their own path to a carbon-free Utopia. Alberta has moved ahead with its own carbon tax, loaded onto the energy industry in the midst of a collapse. Its main effect will likely be to send the Alberta NDP back to the opposition benches. Ontario is considering a ban on coal for power and natural gas for home heating, plus huge subsidies for electric cars. This should continue the upward spiral of electricity prices in that hapless, mismanaged province, which has already seen runaway subsidies to wind power and cancellation of gas-fired power plants. Here in pre-election B.C., take everything you hear about healing the planet with a grain of salt. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
OUR HEALTH-CARE SYSTEM IS APPALLING Editor: I am writing to express my extreme concern and frustration about the lack of family doctors in the Kamloops area and the loss of beds in Royal Inland Hospital. We are in a medical crisis in Kamloops and Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake, as our minister of health, and the B.C. Liberal government are not addressing the crisis. We especially need funding for more beds at RIH and funding for staff, time and space in the operating room. The tragic beginning of this erosion of the medical services began in the 1980s, when our cancer clinic was moved to Kelowna. Since then, many specialties have been located at Kelowna General Hospital, specialists have followed and the Kelowna and Vernon hospitals have had an increase in beds.
No wonder we can’t attract doctors to Kamloops. Our protests on many healthcare issues have fallen on deaf ears. The provincial government has its own privatization agenda, as even RIH’s laundry service left town, leading to more job losses in Kamloops. This year, I have seen great challenges RIH staff have in trying to care for patients while functioning in a hospital that is at 130 per cent capacity. This situation used to occur occasionally, but has now become normal. I have had two surgeries this spring at RIH. The first was a planned abdominal surgery and, until recently, this procedure required a longer stay in the hospital. Due to lack of beds, I stayed overnight in the day surgery area, as did several
other surgical patients. We had to be discharged by 6:30 a.m. for the arrival of that day’s surgical patients. Not very long ago, this situation would have been totally unacceptable, if not unbelievable. In the next situation, when I was waiting to be seen in ER, I counted more than 50 other patients waiting. Many of those waiting said they did not have family doctors in Kamloops, even though they had been searching for many months and years. I was admitted for emergency surgery and during the first 30 hours, I was moved five times before I got a bed on a ward. I waited 2.5 days for the emergency surgery, which was done only because the surgeon and OR nurses stayed late and fit me in after their long, busy day. Through it all, these skilled and
hard-working professionals apologized to me for the situation that has been forced upon them. No wonder doctors leave Kamloops or don’t want to come here. Last week, I saw the scenario that takes place every day in every walk-in clinic in Kamloops. I arrived at 7:30 a.m. and was already 15th in line. By 9 a.m., when the doors opened, there were 40-plus patients waiting to be seen, many of whom said they were there because they could not find a family doctor. Our doctor is leaving soon and we will be short 35 family doctors in Kamloops. This is appalling. If Lake, as our minister of health, does not help us with this crisis in Kamloops, he cannot expect to be supported in next year’s election. Marilyn Strilchuk Kamloops
STEPHEN HARPER AN HONEST AND WISE STATESMAN Editor: Re: (‘Former PM Harper set to quit’, May 26): I wish the headline writers would choose to sound less negative — or, at the very least, that readers would be less easily swayed. In Stephen Harper, we have an honest, wise statesman who, during his time of service, kept this country as far in the black as humanly possible in this floundering, indebted world. I am proud of his leadership. Now, according to Dastrekker, who posted
online at kamloopsthisweek.com on May 21: “Good old Steve is slinking out the back door.” Does Dastrekker think Harper is abandoning Canada? He is not quitting. Harper is courageously moving on. Perhaps his new role will make him more credible to some Canadians than the thankless job of prime minister. Kudos to every man or woman who has volunteered for it. Our current prime minister is experiencing the same pressure.
He may mean well and believe in the very debt he promised to create. Many Canadians voted for what they hoped he would do — approve their chosen entitlement. Yet he is already feeling the teeth of the press and the editorial cartoonists. Justin Trudeau represents Canadians now. Let’s stand behind him with our prayers. Like every man or woman in office, he needs them. Colleen Carbol Kamloops

B.C. Supreme Court Justice Ian Josephson said he no longer has jurisdiction for anything other than sentencing. Any appeal must go to the B.C. Court of Appeal. The sentencing was rescheduled to July 18. It is expected to proceed even if Atzenberger does file an appeal. Crown prosecutor Iain Currie told Josephson he will suggest a jail sentence in the range of two to four years, though he cautioned the estimate comes before he has seen a pre-sentence report. The charges stemmed from an incident at Atzenberger’s mother-in-law’s Louis Creek home in the late-night hours of Oct. 9, 2014. Susan Denison testified her former son-in-law entered her home while she was asleep.
The Crown will seek a jail sentence in the range of two to four years for an www.kamloops.ca electrical contractor who broke into his former mother-in-law’s house, beat her and forced her to sign documents absolving him of debts.

He tore off her covers and grabbed her by the hair, pushing and pulling her. Over the next several hours, she said, Atzenberger sat directly across from her, grilling her about a series of family and financial questions. He hit her with his gloved hands each time he heard an answer he did not like from the 75-year-old woman. Atzenberger then forced her to sign a document absolving him of debts. The accused man represented himself at the trial. He testified he went to Denison’s home to iron out old differences and attempted to calm her and protect himself when she grew angry and violent. He said he tried to pour cold water on her and she slipped several times in the shower.

When investigators arrived, the suspect dropped a number of items and took off running. “The officers found that some of the items were women’s personal effects and most likely stolen property,”
Shelkie said. Mounties found the man at a nearby house and he was arrested with the help of a police dog. Shelkie said the 32-year-old was wanted on warrants for breach and possession of stolen property.

HOUSING STARTS TO INCREASE Housing starts in British Columbia are forecast to increase this year then moderate next year, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation’s (CMHC) Spring 2016 Housing Market Outlook report. Housing starts are expected to total between 35,300 to 36,700 units in 2016 and between 31,400 and 33,600 units in 2017, compared to 31,446 units in 2015. “Demand for new homes will be supported by employment and population growth combined with low mortgage interest rates,” said Carol Frketich, CMHC’s regional economist. “Some moderation in housing starts is expected as more listings become available in the existing
home market,” Frketich said. “While provincial economic fundamentals are strong relative to the past and other provinces, there is evidence of overvaluation

NATIONAL NEWS FORT MAC FIRE
300 FIREFIGHTERS FROM SOUTH AFRICA ARRIVE TO FIGHT FLAMES IN NORTHERN ALBERTA THE CANADIAN PRESS
EDMONTON — Three hundred South African firefighters have arrived in Alberta to help battle wildfires raging in the province’s north. An Air Canada jet picked them up in Johannesburg Sunday morning and landed in Edmonton after refuelling in Barbados. Kim Connors of the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre said the mobilization represents the largest group of wildland firefighters ever brought into Canada. The Alberta government said the still out of control Fort McMurray fire is now estimated to cover almost 5,800 square kilometres and has crept into Saskatchewan. Almost 2,300 fire-
fighters are battling 14 active wildfires in Alberta. The province said a phased re-entry of residents into Fort McMurray is still on track to begin today.
Atlantic workers eager to return
Atlantic Canadians who were forced to flee their homes and jobs in Fort McMurray because of raging wildfires say they’re packed and waiting for calls to say they can head west again. Larry Coleman is in Springhill, N.S., waiting for the OK to get back to his job of building scaffolding for other trades at Syncrude. Coleman has no hesitation about returning, but said a friend who works for another company will only have work every
second week and no place to live during his days off. Colton Wood, a pipefitter from Havre Boucher, N.S., said he’s anxious to return to his pipefitting job for Syncrude. He said there will be lots of work to be done to get the plants up and running again. Melody Rooyakkers, an employee of a storage company, said she and her teenaged son Blake are eager to leave Cape Breton and return Fort McMurray to help the community get back on its feet.
Cuddy headlines benefit show
Blue Rodeo frontman Jim Cuddy will headline a benefit concert in Toronto in support of Fort McMurray residents affected by
the devastating wildfire that destroyed thousands of homes. The #BackFortMac show will be staged at Roy Thomson Hall on June 27. Organizers say 90 per cent of the proceeds will be donated to the Canadian Red Cross Alberta Fires Appeal, supporting families and individuals impacted by the wildfires. The remaining funds raised will be donated to the Red Cross disaster-readiness program. Cuddy will perform with an orchestra and his longtime band member and violinist Anne Lindsay. The singer-songwriter’s son Devin will also perform with his own band. Comedic couple Colin Mochrie and Deb McGrath, opera star Measha
Brueggergosman, country duo Lovelocks, stage and screen star Jackie Richardson and jazz singer Matt Dusk are also confirmed to perform. Tickets go on sale on Friday. Cuddy and his band Blue Rodeo will also perform at the June 29 Fire Aid benefit concert in Edmonton, along with Nickelback, Corb Lund and Ian Tyson. Organizers say all proceeds raised from the event at Commonwealth Stadium will benefit the Fort McMurray United Way to support the city’s efforts to rebuild. Tickets were to go on sale Monday. More than 80,000 people were forced from their homes on May 3 by the wildfire that ripped through the oilsands city.

Wynne apologizes for ‘brutalities’ SPECIAL of residential school system GRADUATION
TORONTO — Premier Kathleen Wynne apologized on behalf of the Ontario government to First Nations, Metis and Inuit communities for the “brutalities’’ suffered at residential schools. The formal apology was part of the province’s reaction to the 2015 Truth and Reconciliation Commission,
which found children were physically and sexually abused and died in numbers that would not have been tolerated in any school system. Wynne said Ontario wants to acknowledge “one of the most shameful chapters in Canadian history’’ and the province will teach a new generation of students the truth about our shared history. She said residential schools set out to “take the Indian out
of the child’’, removing them from their homes and stripping them of their languages, cultures, laws and rights. Ontario will spend $250 million over three years to help understand the legacy of residential schools and create a culturally relevant and responsible justice system. The commission issued 94 recommendations including reducing the number of aboriginal kids in foster care
and granting police greater independence to investigate crimes where government may be an interested party. Even as the premier was offering the formal apology in the legislature, leaders from the Grassy Narrows First Nation were in the Queen’s Park media studio asking again for help dealing with mercury poisoning that has devastated their community since the 1970s.
Submarine headed for exercises off Norway HALIFAX — HMCS Windsor is heading across the Atlantic to take part in multinational exercises in waters off Norway. The submarine left its home port of Halifax this morning
for the 12-day exercise with allied nations, including Norway and Germany. Lt.-Cmdr. Peter Chu said the joint exercises will involve other warships, submarines and aircraft in a bid to
boost crews members’ skill levels. Chu said the 48 core crew members will focus on sonar operations and working with other submarines. Beyond that, the
captain said the exercise and a recent media tour on the vessel are part of the ongoing campaign to raise awareness of Canada’s submarine program. — The Canadian Press

while the investigation is underway. The province has spent almost $4.8-billion building the dam and powerhouse on the lower Churchill River, the largest publicly funded project in its history. — The Canadian Press

Government eyes plain packages for tobacco products “
KRISTY KIRKUP
We do believe it is a fundamental right as a legal company to have those brands and sell our products.
THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — A legal showdown could be looming as the federal government moves ahead with plans for plain packaging of tobacco products. The proposal, which involves standardizing box sizes and prohibiting colours, logos and graphics on tobacco packages, is already lighting up industry players here, much like it has in other countries. The objective of the measure is to protect young people and others from inducements to tobacco, the department added. The government is exposing itself to a legal challenge, according to Imperial Tobacco spokesperson Eric Gagnon. Big tobacco, it seems, is digging in for another smoke war. “We believe, like any other industry, we have

the right to have our brands on the products that adult consumers purchase so that’s why we are going to defend against such a measure,’’ Gagnon said. “We’ll have to wait and see what the government proposes, but we will defend against excessive and ineffective regulation. We have in the past and, like any other industry, we are still a legal product.’’ The potential legal dust-up comes as no surprise to longtime anti-tobacco advocate Rob Cunningham,
a lawyer and senior policy analyst at the Canadian Cancer Society. Tobacco companies will fail if they take the legal route against the government, he said, pointing to unsuccessful challenges in countries including Australia, where the highest court ruled against the industry. This does not discourage Gagnon, however, who stressed “different laws, different countries. “We are not going to take for granted that what happened in

other countries is going to be the same verdict in Canada. “We do believe it is a fundamental right as a legal company to have those brands and sell our products. That is the core of the discussion.’’ The Charter of Rights and Freedoms could be used by the industry to fight back over plain packaging — namely Section 2, which deals with fundamental freedoms. A 2007 decision from the Supreme Court of Canada could be useful for the federal government’s fight in this regard, Cunningham said. In its ruling, the court found federal provisions requiring health warnings to
occupy at least 50 per cent of packages amounted to violations of the guarantee to free expression of tobacco manufacturers, but were justified under the reasonable limits clause of the charter. “Parliament’s goal, notably to inform and remind potential purchasers of the product of the health hazards it entails, is pressing and substantial,’’ the court said. “The benefits flowing from larger [health] warnings are clear, while the detriments to the manufacturers’ expressive interest in creative packaging are small.’’ The government has a long history of winning against the tobacco industry in
court and plain packaging is another instalment in this battle, Cunningham said. “The tobacco industry knows that plain packaging is a major threat to its sales and it is going to be opposed,’’ he said. “We simply have to respond.’’ A Commons health committee recommended plain packaging for products 22 years ago but tobacco companies still question the evidence of its effectiveness. “This is the industry’s history to deny, deny, deny,’’ Cunningham said, adding the measure has been recommended by the World Health Organization. He said in addition to Australia, plain
packaging has been embraced in France, the United Kingdom and Ireland, while formal consideration is also underway in Norway, Hungary, Slovenia, Sweden, Finland, New Zealand, Singapore, Belgium and South Africa. In his mandate letter to Health Minister Jane Philpott, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau noted the intention to introduce plain packaging requirements for tobacco products. The federal government also announced in March it would seek a cost-benefit analysis of the proposal in the Canadian landscape. Health Canada would not address the potential legal challenge in a statement to The Canadian Press. It noted plain packaging is not intended to infringe on the rights of companies to register and protect their trademarks.
Scientists want LNG project rejected THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — Dozens of international climate scientists are calling on the Canadian government to reject a proposed liquefied natural-gas project in B.C., saying it would have dire environmental effects. Ninety academics from Canada, the United States, Australia and the United Kingdom released an open letter yesterday saying the Pacific NorthWest LNG project would be one of the country’s largest greenhouse gas emitters and, if built, would undermine Canada’s climate change commitments. The $36-billion plant backed by Malyasian state-owned energy giant Petronas is slated to be built south of Prince Rupert. Researchers sent an open letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr, Justice Minister Jody WilsonRaybould and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency. They argue a draft environmental assessment for the project likely underestimated the amount of emissions. Danny Harvey, a climate change scientist at the University of Toronto who signed the letter, said the report doesn’t address unknowns like the
F O R
T H E
quantity of gasses that will escape into the atmosphere during the extraction process. “The environmental assessment is superficial and incomplete,’’ he said. Harvey opposes all LNG projects. He wants a moratorium on fracking until more research is done on the long-term effects. The scientists’ open letter also disputes the notion new LNG projects such as Pacific NorthWest will be better for the environment because supplying natural gas to Asian markets will help curb the use of coal. Instead, LNG would likely reduce the amount of renewable energy being produced, the letter said. The B.C. government believes the Pacific NorthWest LNG project could generate more than 18,000 jobs and produce billions in revenue. Premier Christy Clark said developing natural gas resources will fuel the province’s economy, but Jaccard noted no LNG plants have been built and the province’s economy has grown. “Wrecking the planet is not essential to our economy,’’ he said. Environment Minister Catherine McKenna said a cabinet decision on an environmental assessment for the Pacific NorthWest plant should be made by late June.

Lucas Vanderlip may have graduated from Stage One Theatre — but he hasn’t really left it. The longtime participant in the educational programming offered by Western Canada Theatre is back for some upcoming productions, taking his place on the stage to perform music he wrote for performances of Oz. Director Terri Runnalls said she is thrilled to involve Vanderlip again for the play, one that may have a familiar title and some recognizable characters, but which draws as its catalyst a dramatic scene, something new to the young student actors. Usually, plays produced by Stage One are comedies, Runnalls said, but she felt her class, one of two groups presenting plays from Thursday to Saturday, could handle a bit of drama. It’s the story of a youngster trying to cope with the death of a family member. She heads over the rainbow into the land of Oz, where she learns to have courage, a heart and a brain to deal with the new reality. Runnalls said other than the death, the 45-minute play is full of

laughs as the girl makes her way along a path with Oz characters, learning to cope with her reality. The other play, also 45 minutes long, is The Seussification of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, directed by Melissa Thomas. Based on the classic Shakespearean comedy, when told through the lens — and lexicon — of Dr. Seuss, laughter will abound. The performances are being done by the after-school production classes the theatre offers and mark the end of another year of instruction. With two classes a week to accommodate the 32 students, Runnalls said, it made sense for each to do its own play and then share the stage. Students in the classes range in age from eight to 18. Introductory classes are also offered for children ages four to seven and eight to 12. This year, Runnalls also introduced Therapeutic Theatrics for young would-be actors with autism. It also just wrapped up and was a success, she said, with her first class teaching her “more than I taught them.” Performances of Oz at Pavilion Theatre, 1025 Lorne St., are at 7 p.m. on Thursday and Friday, with a 2 p.m. matinee on Saturday. Admission is by donation to the Henry Vandenberghe Memorial Bursary fund.

CLORAN DREAMING BIG, EN ROUTE TO EDMONTON
Western Canada Theatre to replace artistic director DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
The man who once directed episodes of Canada’s Top Model has added the top job at one of the country’s most prominent theatre to his resume. Six years after he was hired as artistic director of Western Canada Theatre, Daryl Cloran is moving on to the same position at Edmonton’s Citadel Theatre. The timing is right for his family to move to Alberta, Cloran said. The younger of his two sons is about to start kindergarten. While he takes over the job in September, he will be back in Kamloops a few times during the upcoming season to direct The Comedy of Errors and The Cure for Death By Lightning, a work he adapted from the Gail Anderson-Dargatz book. He’s obviously excited, Cloran said, because the Citadel, which opened with its first production in October, 1965, houses four stages and a theatre school.
Boosting theatre education for youth was a priority for Cloran while he was here. “I value theatre that asks questions important to its community,” Cloran said in a press release issued by the Citadel. “I value creative risks. The Citadel is an incredible theatre company with a history of innovation, high production values and important contributions to the Canadian theatre landscape. “I want to build on this success, honour its traditions and also take appropriate risks to lead the Citadel into the next phase of its artistic growth.” Cloran replaces Bob Barker, who has been artistic director since 1999. He announced his plan to step down in January. Cloran came to Kamloops after building a career in Toronto that included creating his own Theatrefront company, working with Tarragon, Soulpepper and Neptune theatres and the Shaw and Stratford Shakespearean festivals. He said moving to Citadel will allow him to work in a large theatre with a big staff “and to
dream big.” He said he anticipates the ongoing partnership between WCT and the 1,000 Islands Playhouse in Ontario will continue. It began due to his relationship with the company there but in the past six years, the two theatres have created their own relationship that will continue. The Gananoque company has already signed on for coproductions into the summer of 2018. The WCT board is in discussions on its next step. Cloran anticipates a search for a new artistic director will begin soon. Citadel conducted a national search, approaching more than 100 potential candidates, many of who went through the process. The theatre said Cloran was identified by many theatre leaders as a big talent ripe for the exciting next step of running a large arts complex with several venues, a multi-faceted training academy, a loyal subscriber base and a mandate to attract new audiences.

Carla, her husband Bliss, and six children moved to Kamloops 20 years ago for work. Carla was a stay at home Mom until she started to work at Katja’s Quilt Shoppe. Over the 14 years there, the idea of having a little shop of her own was brewing in the back of

her mind. Having learned to knit at a young age, knitting was her other passion. She picked up her needles again about 6 years ago with the arrival of grandchildren. When a location became available just down the sidewalk from the quilt shop, Carla knew it would be perfect for that little yarn shop. She just had to convince hubby he really wanted to own a yarn store! Fast forward to today, and here they are celebrating the Grand Opening of Knit2 Yarns. They are looking forward to many years of supplying beautiful yarns to local

TRU adds two graduate degrees CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Thompson Rivers University is adding two new graduate degrees that are slated to start in September 2017. B.C.’s Ministry of Advanced Education recently approved the master of science in environmental economics management and the master of environmental economics. While TRU is focused predominately on undergraduate degree programs, the new graduate offerings will join programs in nursing, education, business and environmental science.
Mike Henry, the university’s dean in the school of business and economics, said the new master’s degrees take advantage of expertise among faculty. The degree in environmental economics management — course-based rather than research-based — will be tailored to professionals at corporations or government already working in the field and looking to improve management expertise. “We’re a resource-based economy. We all want to see our resources managed in a sustainable way,” Henry said. The master of environmental economics is designed to appeal to a
wider group that includes undergraduates in business, science and arts. “There are programs in environmental economics and MBAs are very common,” Henry said. “To have a master’s in environmental economics and management is very unique.” As with law and graduate degrees in education and health, the new programs will be self-funded, meaning there is no provincial subsidy for tuition. Henry said rates are not yet set. “It’s going to be cost-recovery,” he said.

They won’t be riding the rails on this route The province won’t look at reinstating rail service between North Vancouver and
Prince George. In a letter to John Ranta earlier this month, Minister of
Transportation Todd Stone responded to a request made by the Thompson-Nicola
Regional District to Premier Christy Clark, asking the province to work to bring rail
service to communities between the two locales. Stone cited finan-
cial loses, the need for replacement or refurbishment of existing rail cars and low
ridership as reasons for ending the service in 2002, none of which he said have changed markedly.

Peter said it is time to thank Kamloops, with the family finally starting to emerge from a dehabilitating fog of sorrow. “This is the shittiest thing that can happen, but we’ve been blessed in a lot of ways,” Peter said. “I’m a little embarrassed that I wasn’t saying thanks months ago, but we’ve been in our own family low here. We can’t go to the
grocery store without someone asking you, heartfelt, ‘How’s your son?’ You go out to get a loaf of bread and you have five of those conversations.” The Evan Mutrie Campaign Go Fund Me account is sitting at $25,115, money that allowed the family to buy a van with a ramp and a lift. Multiple fundraisers helped with costs incurred during Evan’s six-month stay at the G.F. Strong Rehabilitation Centre, which specializes in spinal-cord treatment “It’s been astonishing support,” said Nancy Mutrie, Evan’s mother. “The support
has been there in every way. It’s an odd situation to be in, when you have this much support behind you, but you have this much grief.” Dinners and baked goods show up on the Mutrie doorstep, along with coffee and gas gift cards. Letters of support continue to stream in. The list of thank yous Nancy has is too long to publish.

Saints win tier 2 title MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Grace Campbell wasn’t quite sure what to do with herself. The same can likely be said of the rest of her NorKam Saints’ teammates, who went bananas when the final whistle sounded to signal victory at the B.C. High School Girls’ Rugby Association Provincial Championships on Saturday. NorKam staved off the swashbuckling Port Alberni Armada, who fought back from a 24-5 halftime deficit, but were scuttled 35-17 in the tier 2 championship game at the Tournament Capital Ranch in front of a raucous home crowd. “I didn’t even know what to feel,” said Campbell, a flanker. “It didn’t really feel real to me. I was already so excited and then seeing everybody’s reactions, with the jumping around and screaming, it made everything feel so euphoric.” The Saints advanced to the final on the back of a pair of victories in roundrobin play — 39-5 over speedy Handsworth of North Vancouver on Thursday and 24-5 over Mission and its powerful forward pack on Friday. “We were a little bit like the Bad News Bears this year,” said Sue Kabotoff, NorKam’s head coach. “We were really low on numbers at the start of the season. We had a lot of new play-
ers and players playing new positions. “It’s a coach’s dream when they gel at the right time. They played three monster games. I was so proud of them.” NorKam came out flying on Saturday and carried a 19-point lead into halftime, but Port Alberni stormed back in the second half and pulled to within seven points of the Saints. “We came out really, really strong and we kind of destroyed them on the outside with our running,” Campbell said. “Once the second half started, we were getting sloppy and there were some penalties, so that brought us down and they were really fired up.” With family and friends looking on from the sidelines, some barely able to watch, NorKam emulated its season with a strong push late in the match to claim provincial gold. “That was a battle to the end, tooth and nail,” Kabotoff said. “We were right down on our [goal] line in the last five minutes. It could have gone either way.” The Valleyview Vikings bested the Saints twice this season to claim the zone’s only berth in the AA tournament, also played on the weekend in Kamloops. Valleyview finished the weekend with a 44-15 loss to Robert Bateman of Abbotsford to place sixth. The Westsyde
Whundas dropped their final match to Houston to finish eighth in the AA ranks. Meanwhile, in AAA play, the South Kamloops Titans bested Salmon Arm to finish seventh overall. When KTW spoke to the Saints on Sunday morning, they were already back at work, trying to woo customers to their garage sale by holding signs near a busy North Kamloops intersection. NorKam’s rugby girls will be touring New Zealand next year, aiming to soak in the game’s storied culture, while goals on home soil include knocking Valleyview off its pedestal. “Every year that I’ve played, it’s been back and forth with Vallyview and us,” said Campbell, a Grade 11 student at NorKam. “Last year, we beat them. This year, they beat us. “We’re going to have a much stronger team next year. This was a development year. Hopefully, next year, since we gelled so well this year, we can come together and take them down.”
Thumbs up, Raiders
The Kamloops Rugby Club Raiders sent volunteers to the provincial championships to help the event go off without a hitch. Local referees were also integral to the tournament’s success.

is that the players will not get the opportunity to be scouted that they might get in a larger centre such as Kamloops. “By going to some of the smaller centres, it’s great — they’ll be treated well, Creston will do a fantastic job for the players and their families — but the unfortunate part is they will not get seen by the scouts to the degree they should be.” Creston Valley finished second last season in the fiveteam Eddie Mountain Division of the
Kootenay Conference. The team’s 70 points were third most in the conference and identical to Kamloops’ 70 points on the season. Kamloops has never played host to the Cyclone Taylor Cup, but was home to the Keystone Cup — the western Canadian junior B championship, in which the winner of the Cyclone Taylor plays — in 2010. KIJHL president Bill Ohlhausen didn’t share in Dewar’s concerns, however. He said there is no reason players or their families should
be worried about the Cyclone Taylor Cup heading to a Kootenay town of a little more than 5,300 people. “I don’t know why he’s concerned. I don’t understand that.” Ohlhausen said. “It should move around to all the different teams. If somebody wants to scout a team, they’ll go anywhere.” The 2017 Cyclone Taylor Cup begins on April 6 and will run until April 9. The champions from the KIJHL, the Lower Mainland’s Pacific Junior Hockey League and the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League will join the host Creston Valley Thunder Cats at the tournament. In 2016, the 100 Mile House Wranglers won the provincial tournament and went on to win the Keystone Cup.

Players will pay the price for BC Hockey’s decision to award the Cyclone Taylor Cup to Creston, the Kamloops Storm’s general manger said. Speaking with KTW last week shortly after the announcement, Barry Dewar expressed concern with the location chosen for the annual junior B provincial championship in British Columbia. The Storm were among five Kootenay International Junior Hockey League teams — Creston Valley, the Kimberley Dynamiters, the Revelstoke Grizzlies and the Beaver Valley Nitehawks the others — to submit bids to host the tournament that crowns the B.C. junior B hockey champion. “I’ve very disappointed in not getting the bid,” Dewar said. “I believe we would have not only had a great event, we would have been very financially successful, both for ourselves and BC Hockey. “I guess the biggest disappointment I have

Close family and friends were her sounding board after long days spent at G.F. Strong in Vancouver, where she stayed at a bed and breakfast the family could not have otherwise afforded. She was able to unload at least a portion of the anguish she felt required to hide from Evan, who has spent nearly two years in hospitals and extendedcare facilities. “I don’t want to be Pollyanna about this. There is nothing worse than trying to pretend, but I had to try to put a spin on the tragedy almost every day, to try to bring something positive to his day so he wasn’t losing hope, even though many of those days felt hopeless,” Nancy said. “You had to really allow him to voice his grief and not crash with him at the same time, as much as you could. I would try very hard not to do that around him. “I had to learn how to listen to him when he was scared and frustrated and completely and utterly overwhelmed by the grief of this. In lots of ways, I’ve been the only person he’s allowed to really hear how hard this is for him. “With your regular kid, you might say, ‘It’ll be OK. Don’t worry about that. You’ll get through it.’ That’s not the case with this.” There have been blessings, say Peter and Nancy. Evan is able to speak through a ventilator when he can catch a breath. At one point, he could communicate only through blinks. He has learned to send text messages, change the TV channel and surf the Internet through a voice-activated computer. But he is paralyzed from the neck down and remains at the mercy of staff schedules in a seniors’ care facility, where he

has been since last June. “They can’t adapt the whole thing just to suit him,” Peter said. “If you’re going to get him up in his wheelchair, you need a couple of folks who know what they’re doing. If you’ve got relief staff on for the weekends or staff off sick, they’re all overworked, so who’s on to look after him?” Those are problems the move to the apartment can help eliminate. With them out of the way, reasons to live might become easier to find. “Every dream he’s ever had, he lost,” Peter said. “I can’t give him happiness. He’s got to come up with some new dreams for himself. What are they going to look like? I don’t know. He’s got to generate them, but he needs an environment where that can at least be possible. “That’s the next stage, is to get him set up in his home,
where he’s got some control and influence, with his own staff. Any little smidgeon of control is hugely significant.”
Ways to help
Much like fundraisers already held for Evan, this weekend’s rib dinner might sell out. If it does, there are other ways to give. The Mutrie Outreach Fund account has been established through St. Paul’s Cathedral (320 Nicola St.). Cheques can be made payable to St. Paul’s Cathedral, with the subject line Mutrie Trust Fund. Those wishing to donate can receive receipts for tax purposes. The Go Fund Me account also remains active and can be found online at gofundme.com/ EvanMutrie.

Cavs came together after March loss to Nets
Sharks to win cup? JONAS SIEGEL
THE CANADIAN PRESS
TOM WITHERS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
INDEPENDENCE, Ohio — As they jumped around the locker room dousing each other with ice water and howling after earning their second straight trip to the NBA Finals, the Cavaliers were one. No out-of-control egos. No division. No squabbling. These were basketball brothers bonded by a common goal, ready to take on the world. For months, that wasn’t the case. Underperforming despite a trio of superstars and one of the league’s deepest rosters, the Cavs were imploding before a late-night meeting in New York helped save their season. In the hours after a disappointing 104-95 loss to Brooklyn on March 25, the Cavs gathered in their Manhattan hotel and cleared the air. “Once we had that meeting, I just think the team understood what we needed from each other to win — if we wanted to win,’’ coach Tyronn Lue said yesterday. “And I give them credit. They bought into it and you’ve seen the results of it.’’ With two series sweeps and a tougher-than-expected matchup with Toronto, the united Cavs have gone 12-2 in this postseason. The Golden State Warriors and Oklahoma City Thunder squared off last night in Game 7 of the Western Conference final, a result decided after KTW’s press deadline. The troubling loss to the Nets — LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love went a combined 1 for 11 in the fourth quarter — was the low point in a season that included questions about whether Cleveland’s front office had made a mistake in re-signing Love to a maximum contract, Irving’s health and whether James would bolt again as a free agent. But, as each player expressed his feelings during the meetings, tension gave way to togetherness. “We had a chance to sit down and talk,’’ Lue said. “I just think the Big Three sitting down and getting on the same page of
Kevin Love and the Cleveland Cavaliers cleared the air in team meetings following a loss to the Brooklyn Nets on March 25.
understanding what they need from each other on a nightly basis and understanding that they have to trust each other and also trust the team. We had that talk in front of everyone and everyone kind of gave their opinion and kind of talked about what they expected and what we needed to do better. “From that day on, we kind of took off and we became a better team.’’ Also a much closer one. Whether it’s their choreographed handshakes, team dinners or going to James’ house to watch games, the Cavs have become almost inseparable. Beyond the heartfelt talk in New York, the additions of veterans Richard Jefferson (signed to a one-year deal last July) and Channing Frye (acquired in a February trade) were pivotal in helping Cleveland find harmony. The longtime close friends have been selfless, willing to take subordinate roles while also mentoring the younger Cavs. “Just having those guys in the locker room, talking to the younger guys about what it’s all about — winning,’’ Lue said. “They’ve been on losing teams where they haven’t made the playoffs and you win 25 games. So they’ve seen both sides of it.’’ The 35-year-old Jefferson has brought wisdom, but that’s doesn’t mean he’s not a wise guy as well.
Returning to the finals for the first time since he was a rookie 13 years ago, Jefferson joked that James’ sixth straight trip was nothing special. “I don’t care about LeBron,’’ cracked Jefferson, who has been documenting much of the team’s off-court camaraderie on Snapchat. “Unless that man helps me get a championship, I don’t even know his last name.’’ Kidding aside, Jefferson said the Cavs have a “unique’’ connection and chemistry. “We have such a balanced group of guys, very different guys from a lot of different backgrounds,’’ he said. “But everybody has the same common goal.’’ The Cavs are four wins from ending Cleveland’s 52-year pro sports championship drought and the city is anxiously bracing for either an unmatched party or more heartache. While Jefferson appreciates what a title would mean to fans, he’s more focused on a smaller group. “I grew up in Arizona. I don’t know what the Cleveland history is,’’ he said. “It’s great to be a part of that. It’s great to do it for fans who want it as badly as we do. But, when you’re locked in to the guy next to you and picking him up, that’s what we’re really doing it for. We’re doing it for our teammates.’’
The San Jose Sharks are best known in their brief history for falling short but, in their first ever Stanley Cup Final appearance, they might just have enough to vanquish the past. Pick: Sharks in six over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Why: The Sharks thumped the favoured Kings in the first round, outlasted the Predators in the second round and then thoroughly outplayed the Blues in the Western Conference final. It was a roundly impressive showing for a team with so much past playoff disappointment. The Sharks entered the final though as the underdog. Game 1 was played last night after KTW’s press deadline. Pittsburgh just outlasted the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Eastern Conference final, boasting impressive depth beyond Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. Not only have the Penguins been led the entire post-season by the line of Phil Kessel (18 points), Nick Bonino and Carl Hagelin, but the club has also seen contributions offensively from 39-year-old Matt Cullen (four goals), Chris Kunitz (four goals), Bryan Rust (five goals) as well as rookies Tom Kuhnhackl and Conor Sheary. That depth would pose problems for any defence. Crosby and Malkin rightly draw the top defensive options, which leaves others to combat Kessel, Bonino and Hagelin. The Sharks’ top pair of Marc-Edouard Vlasic and Justin Braun was terrific in slowing the Blues Vladimir Tarasenko in the last
round, though, and could pose similar issues for Crosby and company. Vlasic and the Penguins’ captain have been combating one another since both played in the Quebec Major Junior League, the Sharks defender a quietly effective force capable of taming Pittsburgh’s captain. Beyond Vlasic and Braun is the morethan-capable pair of Brent Burns and Paul Martin, the former a weapon himself offensively that the Penguins have to be mindful of. Maybe the better question isn’t whether the Sharks can contain the Penguins’ depth, but whether the Penguins diminished defence can slow a Sharks attack that overwhelmed a vaunted Blues defence. Can the Penguins, without injured defenceman Trevor Daley, stop San Jose’s top trio of Joe Thornton, Joe Pavelski and Tomas Hertl? That line proved destructive throughout the second half of the regular season and post-season so far. Thornton is a wizard with the puck while Pavelski uses his smarts and drive to find open spaces to score (playoffleading 13 goals). Beyond that top unit is a solid second line that features Logan Couture, who leads the playoffs with 24 points, along with 24-yearold Finnish revelation Joonas Donskoi. Deeper still in the Sharks lineup is annual playoff hero Joel Ward, who has six goals already this spring. A Penguins defence anchored by Kris Letang, averaging 29 minutes in the playoffs, will have to lean more on Ben Lovejoy as well as the mostly untested likes of Brian
Dumoulin, Olli Maatta and Justin Schultz, the latter two healthy scratches at various points this spring. Then there’s the matter of power plays. Both teams boast terrific units, the Sharks leading the playoffs with 17 power-play goals, the Penguins tied for second with 15 goals of their own. Both units have plenty of weapons, including Pavelski and Kessel, who have five goals each on the power play this spring. Pittsburgh’s penalty kill was elite in the regular season and sturdy once more against the Lightning, shutting down 10 of 11 attempts over the final six games of the series. That was against a below-grade power-play though, not one as lethal as the Sharks. The Penguins also won’t have Daley, one of their more trusted penalty killers who’s sidelined with a broken ankle. San Jose had an NHL-leading 62 powerplay goals during the regular season. From Thornton to Pavelski to Burns to Patrick Marleau to Couture, the Sharks have plenty of talent that will be difficult for the Penguins to contain. Both the Sharks and Penguins will turn to goaltenders getting their first taste of the big stage. Martin Jones and Matt Murray have both have had their ups and downs in the post-season, neither one with any real edge entering Game 1 on Monday evening. One grabbing hold of the spotlight could change that equation. It’s the Sharks solid top-four on defence, fearsome top line and devastating power play though which makes them CP’s pick.
Another strong World Cup result for Pendrel LA BRESSE, France — Catharine Pendrel earned the silver medal and fellow Canadian Emily Batty took bronze on Sunday in the women’s elite race at a UCI World Cup mountain bike event. Pendrel finished the race in one
hour 28 minutes 55 seconds, 25 seconds behind winner Jolanda Neff of Switzerland. Batty was third in 1:29:18. The Kamloops resident had a stellar first half of the six-stop world cup circuit. She placed
fourth in the first event in Australia in April and third at the second event in Germany on May 22. Pendrel is second in the overall standings, only 66 points behind Annika Langvad of Denmark,
while Batty jumps to fourth from ninth in the overall standings. Round 4 of the World Cup circuit will be held in Switzerland on July 9. The Union Cycliste Internationale Mountain Bike
World Championships run from June 28 to July 3 in Nove Mesto na Morave, Czech Republic. Pendrel has already sealed her position on Canada’s mountain biking team for the Olympic Summer Games in August. (CP)

THE LITTLE UNICORN by Peggy Kociscin, Albuquerque, New Mexico
There lived a little unicorn (From when the earth was new), His coat so white it glistened, His eyes a sparkling blue.
He learned that there are shadows In spite of shining sun. The more he grew, he found that life Was never always fun.
The unicorn tried tirelessly, And gave the climb his best; But he felt it was not good enough, He felt he’d failed the test.
In innocence and beauty, He danced through woods and streams. The animals danced with him, His heart aglow with dreams.
For now he’d learn of feelings That come from deep within; No longer in the “dream world” Where (for so long) he’d been.
He could not understand it When he felt himself rejected – When all his gentle being asked Was but to be accepted.
He laughed and played with rainbows, So happy all day through, He loved to kiss the flowers As their petals shone with dew.
His gentle heart desired But to know the pleasure of To give and to receive The very precious gift of love.
All this was just too much for him, He knew not what to do. That he was special as himself, Somehow, he never knew.
He wandered through the meadows In the moon’s soft, silver light. He loved to gaze at all the stars That lightened up the night.
To love meant to be happy, And yet it also brought him pain; For those he loved could hurt him Again.. and yet again.
His spirit crushed, he felt defeated, And lonely tears would start. Not understanding how to love, It simply broke his heart.
He listened to the music Of the birds that graced the trees. He frolicked with the butterflies And raced the gentle breeze.
His mother held him lovingly And tried to ease his fears About the sadness life could bring... The lonely, bitter tears.
But now he’s in a loving place Where all his pain has ceased, Where all accepted him and his love, Where all he knows is peace.
But, as he grew and learned of life, The sparkle in his eye Grew misty as he realized Just what it means to cry.
She said, “Life is like a mountain, (And surely this is true) That we must climb as best we can. There’s no ‘around or ‘through.’”
A loving Being tells him, “You’re delightful as you are.” His spirit free, his brilliance now Outshines the brightest star!
