DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Kamloops RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller displays the large collection of drugs, money and guns seized from what police say is the newly arrived Wolf Pack gang.

WOLF PACK COLLARED?

TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Loaded “ghost guns,” a semiautomatic handgun with a silencer, an authentic RCMP duty jacket, thousands of dollars worth of drugs and more than $25,000 in cash is some of what police found when they executed a search warrant last week at the Batchelor Heights home of a local gang leader and one of his underlings, a judge has been told.

The Crown outlined much of its case against Bruce Davis and Christopher Pace at Pace’s bail hearing yesterday in Kamloops provincial court.

Prosecutor Iain Currie said Davis, 37, is the leader of the local faction of the Wolf Pack, a Lower Mainlandbased coalition of gangsters from the Hells Angels, Independent Soldiers and Red Scorpions.

Davis is facing 18 drug- and firearms-related charges stemming from the May 26 raid of a home on Grasslands Boulevard.

Pace, 22, is facing seven charges

— three of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, one of possession of stolen property and two firearms-related counts.

Amanda Nicholson, described in court as Davis’ girlfriend, is also facing a raft of firearms and drug charges.

Pace and Davis are in custody, while Nicholson, 28, was released by police.

Currie said Kamloops Mounties began investigating the Wolf Pack in October.

“They received information that the new group arrived in Kamloops with the goal of establishing themselves in the local drug trade,” he said, noting the gang uses violence and intimidation to protect its turf.

Court heard investigators searching Pace’s bedroom in the Batchelor home found a shoebox containing amounts of heroin, cocaine and meth, as well as $2,150 in cash.

More drugs and money were found throughout the house, along with a number of firearms. One was a Tec-9 with a 13-inch silencer, while two others were loaded ghost guns —

illegal firearms purposely built with no traceable markings.

“In other words, it’s a crime gun,” Currie said. “It’s purpose is to be untraceable — and it’s built for that purpose.”

Currie said the RCMP jacket found by investigators inside the home is the type of garment worn by plainclothes officers when executing search warrants.

“According to the RCMP, it’s an authentic RCMP jacket,” he said. “It’s not the current model they wear, but it is authentic.”

Currie asked that Pace be held in custody to protect the public’s confidence in the justice system.

“This is a gang coming to the Kamloops area in order to take over the drug trade here,” he said.

“This is an enterprise devoted to crime — the sale of drugs and the sort of violence that goes along with the drug trade.”

Pace has no criminal record.

He is due back in court to find out if he will receive bail on June 9.

Davis is slated to make his next appearance on the same day.

Kamloops Mounties displayed an array of drugs and weapons at the RCMP’s Battle Street detachment yesterday, contraband police say was seized from various Kamloops residences and all connected to the Wolf Pack gang.

Supt. Brad Mueller said seven search warrants executed in the past four months have effectively “dismantled” the gang, a Lower Mainland-based group composed of Hells Angels, Independent Soldiers and Red Scorpions members.

The drugs and weapons were seized in the following raids: Feb. 25 on Valleyview Drive, March 24 on Tranquille Road, March 26 on the North Shore, April 19 on 13th Street, April 24 on Westsyde Road, May 6 on 13th Street, May 26 on Grasslands Boulevard.

The following was seized from the various busts: Valleyview: cocaine, marijuana, a shotgun and a crossbow Tranquille Road: two cocaine presses, a handgun, a sawed-off shotgun, and a variety of drugs including MDMA, cocaine, meth, heroin, steroids, Viagra and 625 tabs of fentanyl North Shore: crack cocaine, meth, cocaine, heroin, fentanyl, marijuana, ammunition and bear spray 13th Street: cocaine, two stolen bikes, a sawed off shotgun and ammunition, 22 calibre clips and ammunition Westsyde Road: a pair of 45 calibre handguns, steroids and both cocaine and crack cocaine 13th Street: cocaine, crack cocaine, heroin and meth Grasslands Boulevard: cocaine, heroin, marijuana, fentanyl, meth, MDMA and 66 grams of unknown powder

Stone alone in confirmed 2017 election candidates CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

As co-chair of the B.C. Liberal election campaign, KamloopsSouth Thompson MLA Todd Stone is encouraging as many of the party’s 45 incumbents as possible to run again next May. So far, he counts 38 — but next-door neighbour Terry Lake is not one of them.

The MLA for Kamloops-North Thompson and B.C.’s minister of health has told the party he will wait until the end of summer before making his decision.

In an interview, Lake said together with wife, Lisa, he will take time to determine whether to return to Thompson Rivers University, where the veterinarian teaches animal health, or run a third time for the governing party.

“I’ve had discussions with the premier. She [Christy Clark] indicates she wants people [existing MLAs] to make a decision by the end of summer . . .” Lake said.

“We really need time away from the frenetic pace of the [legislative] session, especially in a large ministry like this, to put things in perspective.”

Lake said when he first ran, he planned on a maximum of two terms. If he serves a third term, his position at the university will not be held for him.

A Liberal member not authorized to speak for the party said the only member known within party circles to be mulling a

campaign should Lake decide not to run is Steven Puhallo, executive director of the North Shore Business Improvement Association.

Contacted yesterday, Puhallo — the party’s constituency president in Kamloops-North Thompson and a former Liberal staff member— said “out of respect” members are awaiting Lake’s decision.

“I’ve heard that rumour, too,” he said of his name surfacing as a potential replacement.

“Terry is a great MLA and we really hope he’ll run again.”

In either city riding — Kamloops-North Thompson and Kamloops-South Thompson — Stone is the only known candidate for next May’s provincial election.

New Democrat representatives said they are searching for candidates, but no one has stepped forward.

Bill Sundhu, who represented the party in last October’s federal election, said his primary interest is national politics. While he hasn’t ruled anything out, he’s not planning to run at this time.

Michael Crawford, who ran federally for New Democrats in a number of campaigns and sits on the board of the provincial constituency association in Kamloops-North Thompson, said there are plans to have a candidate in place by early fall.

“We’re probably looking at a half-dozen people who have expressed interest,” he said.

So far, however, none has

started to organize or sell memberships. Under party rules, new members must be declared 90 days before a nomination meeting. If the party holds its meeting at the end of September, prospective candidates would only have the next month to sign up supporters.

Peter Northcott, president of the Kamloops-South Thompson constituency association, said organizers have started a candidate search, but haven’t put forward any names to the party.

He acknowledged the NDP faces a formidable opponent in the popular Stone, who also benefits from the last redrawing of riding boundaries that make his seat much safer for the B.C. Liberals.

In 2013, Stone won his seat by 5,000 votes, while Lake won by 3,000 votes. The KamloopsNorth Thompson riding is traditionally thought of as a swing riding and a bellwether for the rest of the province.

Crawford acknowledged the party faces the prospect of facing two senior cabinet ministers if Lake decides to run again.

“We know we have to find an excellent candidate and run an excellent campaign,” Crawford said.

Green party representative Matt Greenwood said organizers are putting together a campaign search committee. In 2013, the party did not field candidates in either riding.

“We’re not going to be sitting this one out,” Greenwood said.

Q: Should I incorporate my business?

A: The type of business structure to use for your business depends on a number of factors.

• liability exposure • tax treatment • control • cost • administration • succession planning • and raising capital to name a few.

Most businesses are carried on in the form of a corporation mainly due to liability protection for shareholders and favourable tax treatment. Your decision to incorporate will depend on the factors set out above.

Our Business Law Team can help you decide whether to incorporate your business or if you should structure your business as a proprietorship, partnership or other type. Contact us for more information and find out how we can help you create value for your business.

Variable speed signs now up THREE YEARS CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The province flipped a switch yesterday on a new electronic speed management system for three highways prone to extreme weather events.

The $12.5-million electronic system is accompanied by changes to the Motor Vehicle Act that make variable maximum speed limits more than a recommendation.

“These are not advisory speeds, not speed-reader boards,” said Minister of Transportation Todd Stone. “They’re maximum limits on those highways at that time.”

The system is used on sections of the TransCanada, Coquihalla and Sea to Sky highways.

On the Coquihalla, there are 13 variable signs on a 24-kilometre section stretching from the Portia

Interchange to the former toll plaza.

That includes the snowshed.

On the Trans-Canada Highway, the signs are in place from Perry River to Revelskoke, a 40-kilometre distance. There are 16 signs on the Sea to Sky Highway outside Squamish.

Stone said the system is the first of its kind in Canada and will join jurisdictions using MOST TALENTED LINE UP EVER! THOMPSON MEDAGLIA HAYES MAFFENBEIER ...DON’T MISS IT!

them in the U.S. The system uses monitors that assess grip, visibility, traffic volumes and speed. A ministry staff member in the Coquitlam traffic management centre makes the decision on where to set the limit.

The ministry predicts the signs will reduce accidents.

Stone pointed to a weather event on May 27 on the Coquihalla Highway south of Inks Lake that saw at least seven vehicles crash independently in a flash hail and snow storm.

“The conditions went from fairly normal to extremely treacherous,” he said.

“There were a number of collisions as a result. This technology is designed to address those realities.”

Sgt. Mike Pears with the RCMP’s Central Interior Traffic Services section, hopes the system will help drivers slow during poor conditions.

“Drive to what you’re comfortable, but the maximum limit is what you’re looking at,” he said.

Pears noted the signs may also be activated in case of an accident or maintenance, for example.

Stone said the province will look at expanding the system to other sections or highways.

The driver of a speedboat that crashed into a houseboat in the Shuswap six years ago, killing the houseboat pilot, has been sentenced to three years in prison.

Leon Reinbrecht was convicted on one count each of criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm following a trial last year. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sheri Donegan handed down her sentence on Thursday.

“While Mr. Reinbrecht did not set out to harm anyone that night, he took a risk,” Donegan said.

“There was evidence in this case of extreme behaviour, bravado and machismo.

“Mr. Reinbrecht made what can only be described as terrible decisions that had catastrophic consequences.”

Reinbrecht, 54, was behind the wheel of a recklessly driven speedboat on the night of July 3, 2010, following a post-Canada Day fireworks display on Magna Bay. The lake was busy, court heard, and witnesses said they saw Reinbrecht’s boat pulling donuts and speeding close to shore.

Ken Brown was at the helm of his houseboat when Reinbrecht’s speedboat collided with it nearly head-on. Brown died at the scene and other people on both boats suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

At trial, defence lawyer Joe Doyle argued Brown’s houseboat was not properly lit. Following the crash, investigators determined at least one of the houseboat’s lights was not functioning properly.

Burglar opens a can of trouble A Kamloops man who used a can opener to break into a pharmacy in an attempt to steal medicine has been handed a six-month jail sentence.

Shaen Gallagher pleaded guilty in Kamloops provincial court on Thursday to one count of break and enter.

Court heard the 39-year-old was arrested on Jan. 11 after police responding to a burglar alarm at Pratt’s Compounding Pharmacy at Nicola Street and Third Avenue found him inside the store.

Mounties determined Gallagher used the can opener to remove the frame of an exterior window, then entered the pharmacy and turned off the electrical breaker.

When police arrived, they found a bag of medicine on a counter that had been left there by Gallagher when his burglary was interrupted.

Kamloops provincial court Judge Stephen Harrison handed Gallagher a six-month jail sentence and placed him on probation with an order barring him from going to the pharmacy.

After lighting up, take pains to not light it up THOUSANDS OF BUTTS AT ROADSIDE POINT TO REAL FIRE DANGER TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

In the wake of the massive blaze that turned Fort McMurray’s 90,000 residents into evacuees for nearly a month, the chief of Kamloops’ fire department is urging local smokers to watch their butts.

Kamloops Fire Rescue Chief Dale McLean told KTW he couldn’t believe the number of cigarette butts he found recently while volunteering with a group picking up litter on the Summit connector near Thompson Rivers University.

“There was — I must say, I was appalled,” he said. “I was just shocked.

You couldn’t walk two feet without 100 cigarette butts. There was thousands.

“Given the close proximity to the interface, it’s

a huge problem.”

Dean Olstad, Kamloops Fire Rescue’s chief fire prevention officer, said each cigarette butt that isn’t properly discarded — whether it’s flicked out of a vehicle or improperly smothered

in a planter or ashtray — represents a potentially catastrophic fire.

“Just in the province of B.C., every year for the last five years, there are hundreds of structure fires related to smoking materials,” he said.

“Most of the time, it’s to do with improper disposal.”

The cause of the massive Fort McMurray fire is not yet known, but McLean said discarded cigarettes have been proven time and again to

be a common denominator in fires.

“It has caused major property loss,” he said.

“It’s just a matter of being responsible. It is a huge concern here in this community. We are an interface city and we

have to be extra vigilant with these things.”

McLean is hoping increased awareness will result in smokers putting more thought into how they dispose of their cigarette butts.

“In talking to our partners in RCMP and bylaws, they know it’s a problem,” he said.

“The best thing we can do is get people to change their attitudes.

It affects everybody. Just look at the people in Fort McMurray who lost their home for no reason of their own.”

According to Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie, flicking a cigarette butt out of a car window can be a costly endeavour.

People who drop lit or smouldering cigarette butts can face a $173 fine under the provincial Wildfire Act and can also be fined $81 for litter-

ing under the provincial Motor Vehicle Act. “That’s a concern there, a couple hundred bucks, but there is a provision that allows the province to recover wildfire suppression costs or damages from people who are deemed responsible, and that could be a couple hundred thousand or millions of dollars,” she said.

Shelkie said Telus was ordered to fork over more than $2 million in 2009 after the actions of the company started a wildfire. In 2011, a Cariboo man had to come up with $860,000 after a campfire on his own property got out of control and turned into a forest fire.

In 2005, the man whose discarded cigarette butt started the massive McLure/Barriere fire in 2003 was fined $3,000.

Kamloops could get a safeinjection site at some point — but it might just as likely go to Kelowna, should the Interior Health Authority choose to move forward with the concept.

Health Minister Terry Lake said with government grappling with limited resources, should such a site be approved, consideration might have to be given to which community would provide the broadest service.

Kelowna serves a regional population of about 200,000, he said, while Kamloops’ serves about 120,000.

The idea has been discussed unofficially for some time.

VIEWPOINT

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK is a politically independent newspaper, published Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 1365B Dalhousie Dr. in Kamloops, B.C. V2C 5P6 Ph: 250-374-7467 | Fax: 250-374-1033 e-mail: editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

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

HOT: Activity in the offices of KGHM Ajax.

While the mining company’s application remains stationary as the process has been halted so questions can be answered, the firm has been anything but idle.

Last week, it announced seven employees were laid off.

Early this week, it dismissed project manager Clyde Gillespie and replaced him with Chris Wild.

Then, yesterday, it was learned two of those staffers laid off will be returning in yet-to-be determined roles.

Oh, and there was the B.C. Liberal fundraiser a week ago tonight in which the company’s $7,900 bid for a private barbecue dinner with MLAs Todd Stone and Terry Lake was set aside due to “optics.”

Even when not much is happening with the process, much is happening elsewhere with the company.

OUR

VIEW

NOT: Smokers whose judgment seems to have been clouded by the carcinogens they are sucking into their bodies.

Kamloops Fire Chief Dale McLean joined a roadside clean-up crew last week and was astonished to come across thousands of cigarette butts.

They had been tossed by drivers and pedestrians, with each cylinder-shaped stub the potential genesis of a conflagration of Fort McMurray proportions.

It’s really, easy, smokers — use an ashtray.

HOT: Mother Nature, who has finally realized this is not Vancouver and has sent the rain to the Coast, where it belongs.

The weekend should be sizzling under sunny skies, which is just fine with us.

Seedy side of donations

L

ast weekend, the two B.C. Liberal riding associations in Kamloops held a fundraising evening, at which many dollars were raised.

Included in the event as an auction item — a private barbecue dinner with the two MLAs, Transportation Minister Todd Stone and Health Minister Terry Lake.

All fundraisers have auctions, silent and otherwise, and political dinners are no different.

The winning bidder for the barbecue dinner with Stone and Lake was Yves Lacasse, externalaffairs manager of KGHM Ajax, the company that wants to build the Ajax copper and gold mine south of Kamloops.

That night, word leaked out that the mining company had paid $7,900 for the right to chow down with two powerful cabinet ministers of the government that will decide the fate of the proposed mine, which has become the most controversial issue in Kamloops in recent memory.

By the time reporters contacted the MLAs and Lacasse, the donation had been rejected (or withdrawn, depending on the explanation by either side), the reason being cited that it just didn’t look good.

As Stone told KTW, it would have been “poor optics” to accept the money, considering KGHM Ajax has its mine applications before the government’s B.C. Environmental Assessment Office.

Fair enough, but the B.C. Liberal Party has accepted $55,450 from KGHM Ajax since

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

Newsroom

MUSINGS March 2013, according to Elections BC records (the sum stretches from March 2013 to February 2015), and surely the party knew during that time the company was planning to submit an application for its proposed mine.

(The winning bid/donation/ no donation scenario was an unfortunate experience for the mining company, bookended by bad news. Three days before the fundraiser, KGHM Ajax laid off seven employees in its Kamloops office. Four days after the fundraiser, the company’s project manager, Clyde Gillespie, was let go, replaced by Chris Wild.)

The story served to again shed light on the world of political donations, which made headlines earlier this year with the revelation Premier Christy Clark hosts secret, private meetings with donors willing to hand over obscene amounts of money.

To the great unwashed, paying $20,000 to meet privately with the premier is not done because someone wants an autograph.

It is a payment to bend the leader’s ear on something the donor wants. It is not right.

But British Columbia’s political donor rules are weak at best, with no limit for individuals, groups, corporations or unions and a $10,000 acceptance ceiling for parties receiving anonymous donations.

If businesses and unions are going to donate tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars to a political party, they are doing so because they want something.

If Joe Sixpack pulls out 10 bucks and hands it to his local candidate, he is chipping in a token amount for a political philosophy he supports.

The two scenarios are polar opposites.

If we want to rid the political system of such unseemly practices as buying time with the premier that is otherwise unavailable to the common voter, we should demand bold action and call for a blanket ban on all political donations.

Replace that funding source (which is paid for by taxpayers anyway via tax deductions) with a government program (perhaps based on per vote subsidy or across the board lump sum campaign cash for all qualifying parties) and force parties to manage with less.

When the ear of the leader of the province can be bought, when mining companies are caught in an ethical crunch when legally donating money at fundraisers, when union members have no say on the vast sums their leadership shovels into a party’s coffers, we know the system needs an overhaul.

Until then, pass the hat. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR HEALTH CARE ACROSS COUNTRY FACING CHALLENGES Editor: Re: Marilyn Strilchiuk’s letter of May 31 (‘Our health-care system is appalling’): It was regrettable to read this writer’s experience as it’s the goal of all health-care providers and the Interior Health Authority to provide patients with quality care in the most appropriate setting.

Royal Inland Hospital and the staff who work there strive to provide high-quality care to every person and, when this does not occur, we want to hear about it so we can do better.

Unfortunately, some of the circumstances described, from family physician shortages to extremely busy emergency departments, are not unique.

This is a challenge facing health-care systems across Canada as our population ages and patients who enter hospitals have more complex health issues.

However, we are working hard to address these challenges.

At Royal Inland Hospital, we are preparing for the opening of the Clinical Services Building this summer, which will

house a number of outpatient services and help address the long-standing parking concerns at the site.

This building is just the start, as planning is underway for a much larger investment — a new patient-care tower.

This is in addition to a number of projects that have come to fruition in recent years: a new intensive-care unit, a renovated cancer clinic, a new medical device reprocessing unit and a new operating room.

In fact, Royal Inland has seen approximately $174 million in capital

investments since 2002.

Additionally, with the recent successful recruitment of new anesthetists, we have increased the number of surgeries being completed at RIH. Recognizing the challenge individuals face in accessing primary care, the provincial government and regional health authorities are partnering with Divisions of Family Practice and other community agencies to develop a health-care system that will direct resources to meet the primary-care needs of people.

This means keeping people healthy, helping

them self-manage chronic conditions and, ultimately, leaving hospital beds available for the acutely ill.

Redesigning the health-care system to be the best it can be is not just a job for the provincial government or the health authority or physicians. It involves all of us, embracing changes that will create health-care services that will work for us and the generations beyond us.

Susan Brown vice-president and CEO for hospitals and communities Interior Health Authority

COUNCIL’S VOTE WAS NOT A FAIR DECISION Editor: I disagree with council’s decision to deny Save-OnFoods permission to offer residents and visitors not only better prices on B.C. wine, but a chance to taste some of our local and regional varieties.

I was in Kelowna last week and saw what Save-On has going on with wine sales in its store in the Okanagan city — and I was very impressed with the set up.

Save-On has its own contained area that opens at 9 a.m. and closes at 10 p.m. There is always help if you need it. The girl who helped me was very knowledgeable and my experience was a good one. I asked how many wineries there are in the Okanagan and the clerk’s guess was approximately 350. How many people are going to get to see all of these wineries in their lifetime? Not me.

The amazement for me was seeing some of the offerings from so many wineries I did not know even existed.

What an opportunity for our local and provincial wineries to gain more awareness and interest in their products.

Kamloops council does not stop restaurants from setting up shop next to one another because of the competition.

I understand one comment in a previous letter that stated, as a non-drinker, that person would shop elsewhere. Life is full of temptation and, in grocery stores alone, there are things on shelves none of us should eat, so we avoid the area completely. Young people will access spirits of some sort whether it is sold in a grocery store or elsewhere. We need to get with the times.

Council’s vote was not a fair vote.

As for council members who have vested interests in related business excusing themselves from involvement?

Rubbish. They should leave their personal interests and baggage at the door when they come to work and do their jobs. I think we are all expected to do that.

Let’s support our amazing local wineries.

GAS STATION BROKEN INTO On Friday, May 27th shortly after 2:00 am the Esso Gas Station on 915 Columbia St. was broken into. The suspect forced open a south side door, the alarm system was disabled and this gave the suspect full access to the store. What the suspect did not realize was the surveillance camera caught the suspect in the store. The photo of the suspect is not useful as the suspects was wearing a winter style bomber jacket, dark in colour with white fake fur around the hood.

The hood was pulled up hiding the suspects face. What that the owners found in the store that “may” belong to the suspects was a watch with a broken wrist band and it is described as a black metal square with the words ‘Diesel 5 bar’.

If you have any information on this break and enter or may have seen someone with this similar watch, please contact Crime Stoppers.

You will never have to go to court or give a statement.

The number of residents who rate Kamloops’ quality of life as good or very good is dropping, but the company that conducts polling for the city said it’s too early to tell if the change if indicative of issues locally.

While 94 per cent of those polled in the city’s latest citizen satisfaction survey rated quality of life in Kamloops as good or very good, that’s down from 98 per cent when the poll was last conducted in 2012.

Angelica Argyropolous of Forum Research Inc. told council Tuesday that 16 per cent fewer people rated quality of life in Kamloops as very good, compared to 2012, but noted residents still report above-average levels of satisfaction with life in the Tournament Capital.

In similar communities, Forum expects about 85 per cent of residents to rate quality of life as good or very good.

Only six per cent of citizens rated quality of life in Kamloops as poor, compared to an average of about 12 per cent.

Argyropolous said it’s not yet clear if the dip is a result of local issues, adding it could be influenced by events on a national and provincial scale.

“This is the first dip that you’ve seen since 2003, so it could just be a bad year,” she said.

“It’s something to keep a pulse on going forward. Certainly one dip is not indicative of any kind of trending.”

While the proposed Ajax mine remains a top concern for residents, with 26 per cent naming it as the most important issue in the community, infrastructure and parks and cultural issues also saw big gains.

Twenty three per cent of residents said infrastructure was a top

concern, up from virtually none in 2012, while 18 per cent said parks, recreation and cultural services were a top issue, up from two per cent.

The proposed copper and gold mine, meanwhile, saw a decrease in concern, with five per cent fewer residents choosing it as their main issue.

This year’s survey included 409 residents, with data collected between Jan. 18 and Feb. 10 of this year.

Results are considered to be accurate within plus or minus five per cent, 19 times out of 20.

Argyropolous said Forum had to call about 8,000 numbers to net its target number of results, about average for a survey of this type.

Victoria taketh and giveth AND IT IS FRUSTRATING TRUSTEE DENISE HARPER DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

While she welcomes the money coming back to the district, the chairwoman of the Kamloops-Thompson school board is frustrated with the provincial government.

Denise Harper said there was no indication from Victoria that money school districts were ordered to cut from administration costs this fiscal year would be returned to them.

For School District 73, it amounts to $673,698, which Education Minister Mike Bernier announced this week would be returned to the district coffers.

Harper argued there are strings attached to the funds that continue to set up false expectations for teachers, other staff, parents and students.

Education Minister Mike Bernier disagreed, saying school districts are free to spend the money as they see fit.

Harper said she felt, after reading Bernier’s press release, the money being returned is to be used for hiring new teachers, programming or maintaining schools despite declining enrolment.

Bernier disagreed, saying districts have the flexibility to use it in whatever way they want, including administration costs, although he would hope the funds would be directed to frontline teaching, including hiring teachers or helping programs or schools impacted by declining enrolment.

Harper took issue with putting money into a school where the student population is declining, saying it sets up a false expectation for parents — at some point, if enrolment doesn’t increase, the schools will still be eyed for closure.

In terms of saving programs, Harper noted that, while it’s possible some of the money could be used to keep the hairdressing program at NorKam secondary alive for another year, the reality is the money and staff allocated to it have been moved to other courses.

Returning staff members, she said, affects the courses where the resources have been moved.

All secondary students have made course decisions for next year and, along with elementary grades, resources have all been allocated, Harper said.

Kamloops-Thompson school district Supt. Karl

deBruijn said administrators and trustees have to consider, when allocating the money, if there is wisdom in using one-time funding for programs that have ongoing costs because they could be “just delaying the inevitable.”

Harper said the announcement on Tuesday “came out of the blue,” as did one last week announcing changes to the education system that include reducing the number of provincial exams from five to two.

“It seems to be the way they do things,” she said.

While the mandated administration cuts have been returned to the educational side of the budget, Harper pointed out there was another $1.4 million in cuts the district had to make to ensure it presented a balanced budget.

“A lot of areas are really, really cash-strapped,” she said of the district. “We haven’t had to cut off the whole leg yet, but we’re well above the knee.”

When asked if cuts and unexpected funding infusions make budgeting a challenge, deBruijn laughed and said: “It’s never boring. Imagine coming to work knowing you have money to spend.”

He added however, that it’s a “nice problem” to have money to spend.

Teen acquitted of assault at party TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Someone recently told my mom and me that when we are researching retirement communities we should ask about staff tenure. Can you explain why this would be important?

High staff turnover can suggest employee dissatisfaction, while long term employees tend to signify a higher degree of employee satisfaction. Employees who have worked at the same retirement community for many years have considerable knowledge of the communities’ culture and vision. This knowledge generally results in higher productivity which ultimately results in cost savings to the community and their residents.

Residents of retirement communities with long term tenured employees experience continuity and consistency in services which results in a very high degree of satisfaction.

Long term employees reect loyalty, stability and a secure work environment. This fosters positive work experiences and it’s these experiences that translate into a higher degree of dedication and commitment to the residents. Long term employees are typically more invested and exhibit a tremendous amount passion for what they do.

They continually strive to exceed their resident’s expectations as it is these residents that become like family to the employees.

While doing your research be sure and ask this very important question!

An allegedly “hyphy” Kamloops teenager charged with assault following a violent fracas at a raucous 500-person graduation party last June has been found not guilty.

The girl, now a Grade 12 student, was charged in connection with a confrontation between her and another girl.

Court heard the fight started because the alleged victim called the accused a “slut.”

Kamloops provincial court Judge Len Marchand acquitted the teen, who can’t be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, based largely on the fact witness testimony couldn’t account for what was said between the accused and the victim immediately before the fight broke out.

Real Canadian arrest Kamloops Mounties swept onto the Real Canadian Superstore property on Wednesday to arrest a man wanted in connection to a burglary the day before.

Staff Sgt. Edward Preto said the 40-yearold man had been evading arrest since allegedly committing the break and enter in the early-morning hours of Tuesday.

Kamloops RCMP has received a rash of reports of people’s vehicles being broken into. In all cases, Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said, valuables have been stolen from the vehicles.

Between May 29 and May 31, there were 16 theft from

vehicles reported.

“While this number of thefts over two nights is not unusual, what stands out for police is the amount of valuables stolen,” Shelkie said.

“Items taken from the vehicles include three wallets, over $200

in cash, loose credit and bank cards, a briefcase, two laptop computers, two iPods, an MP3 player, gift cards, personal papers and liquor.”

Shelkie said residents are urged to lock their vehicle doors and take out valuables.

In court, Crown prosecutor Oliver Potestio described the ruckus as “a melee.”

A witness said the accused was acting “hyphy” — a term meaning hyperactive and excited — in the moments leading up to the fight.

Another witness called the massive June 30, 2015, gathering, held near Inks Lake, a “passing the torch” party, at which Grade 11 and 12 students from high schools across Kamloops gather. Court heard most of those in attendance were drunk.

The Crown’s main witness, a 17-year-old boy, could not say for certain what was said prior to the altercation — one of many that evening, court heard — so Marchand found the accused girl not guilty.

The alleged victim, who was described by witnesses as a competent fighter, did not testify.

SD73 dusts off wildfire response plan DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

In 2003, current School District 73 superintendent Karl deBruijn was on vacation when the wildfires hit — and proceeded to burn up — the Interior region.

Then-superintendent Terry Sullivan was also on vacation and the pair was called back to help administration plan for whatever eventuality came as the flames spread through the area.

Now, inspired as much by the recent Fort McMurray blaze as the reality B.C. tends to burn every summer, deBruijn has brought a revised response plan to trustees to try to anticipate scenarios that could arise during a wildfire threat.

He said the goal is to continue operating schools for as long as possible during emergency stages, from prewarning to immediate evacuation orders.

Issues of concern would include securing safe drinking water, power lines and communications systems and air quality; providing information; dealing with distressed families; securing infor-

mation and equipment and facility loss.

The issue with drinking water, for example, might not result from an immediate fire threat, but from a distant one that is contaminating water supplies.

In Fort McMurray, power lines burned, depriving schools — and many other buildings — of needed electricity.

That also happened in the KamloopsThompson school district area in 2003 due to the McLure, Strawberry Hill and McGillivray Lake wildfires, so the goal is to create a backup generator-based system.

Should there be an evacuation order, existing school buses will be supplemented with more, deBruijn said.

Any school could potentially be at risk from a wildfire, he added.

In 2003, a fire burned to the edge of the playing field at Barriere Ridge elementary. Flames went past Rayleigh elementary, but missed it when the fire jumped Highway 5 North.

Flying embers could rain down on any

building, deBruijn said, “which means any one of our communities is vulnerable.”

“We have been fortunate to this point not to have any facilities lost or damaged due to forest fires,” deBruijn noted in his report to trustees.

“Alternate arrangements will be prepared for secondary students to be integrated into existing secondary schools in the event of

extensive loss or damage to any of our secondary schools.

“We will continue to hold empty schools in reserve for possible use by elementary schools and will supplement that space by existing empty space in other elementary schools within the system should it be needed.

“Other alternatives, such as operating two schools in one plant on a shift system, will also

be considered.”

The plan has to be reviewed by the Emergency Operations Centre for advice.

It will also be perused by the Education and Children and Family Development ministries, the Interior Health Authority, the Thompson-Nicola Regional District and the City of Kamloops for information purposes.

CTV’S CANADA AM TO END 43-SEASON RUN VICTORIA AHEARN

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Canada AM, CTV’s flagship morning show that helped launch the broadcasting careers of Pamela Wallin, Valerie Pringle and Seamus O’Regan, shocked viewers yesterday by abruptly announcing it was ending its 43-year run, a decision observers said reflected a shifting media landscape.

Wallin, who worked on the show for about 10 years, said she wasn’t totally surprised CTV was pulling the plug, noting: “the whole industry is in tumult.’’

And Lisa Taylor, assistant professor at the Ryerson School of Journalism in Toronto, said given the dramatic shifts in news consumption habits in the digital age, “it’s surprising to see that it lasted as long as it did.’’

Billed as “Canada’s most-watched national morning newsmagazine,’’ Canada AM began airing in 1972, providing news and lifestyle headlines as well as interviews with stars and newsmakers.

Canadians who typically started their day with the show’s anchors said they couldn’t believe CTV would suddenly yank the show off the air.

“There was no

warning,’’ said Elaine Uskoski, a holistic health practitioner in Caledon, Ont. “I don’t think that’s fair to the fans.’’

CTV declined a request for interviews to explain the move and said an announcement on a replacement show would come next week.

“As the television landscape continues to evolve, so too must our programming. We look forward to build-

ing upon the success of Canada AM as we move forward,’’ said Randy Lennox, president of entertainment production and broadcasting at Bell Media, in a statement.

Canada AM was recently drawing an average audience of about 234,000 viewers, according to Numeris, which was down two per cent from the previous year. But ratings were down 21 per cent

in the key 25-to-54 demographic favoured by advertisers.

Wallin called the show’s demise “the end of an era,’’ noting “Canada AM was mustwatch television’’ for many years, particularly for viewers with political interests.

“It was an amazing show and with very limited resources we did incredible things,’’ she said, listing assignments in China and coverage of the Falklands War among her favourite stories. “For me personally, it was the experience of a lifetime.’’

Taylor said morning shows like Canada AM once had huge clout and “just as much as evening flagship shows totally set the agenda.’’

But times changed.

“This show was borne of a time when we really did have to roll out of bed and turn on a TV to actually find out what had happened overnight, to find out what was going on,’’ Taylor said.

“With the change in our consumption habits and with the advent of digital media, of course the whole game has changed.’’

The audience also changed. The largely female demographic morning shows like Canada AM had in their early days changed with gender parity in the workforce. And the Canada AM model — with a full-production, sit-down set — is expensive and can look dated, Taylor added.

“When we look at the reduction in advertising dollars going to terrestrial television, we see perhaps shows like this simply aren’t as profitable as they once were.’’

The show has been home to many of CTV’s broadcasting greats, including Craig Oliver, Sandie Rinaldo, Tom Clark, Lisa LaFlamme and O’Regan.

“I really liked the way they reported the news,’’ said Ulysse Saint Vil. “One of the things I also liked about it is that, I think that in Canada, black people are not very well represented in the media and seeing Marci Ien was also one of the reasons why I was watching every morning.’’

Taylor would like to see CTV replace Canada AM with a morning news program that “totally breaks free of the existing models.’’

“I worry it would just be filler or a script show and nothing that will really create many jobs or keep many people employed in the business,’’ she said.

In an emailed statement, Scott Henderson, vice-president of communications at Bell Media, said the new morning show “will result in incremental job opportunities at Bell Media.’’

CTV said co-hosts Beverly Thomson and Ien will continue to stay with Bell Media while Jeff Hutcheson will begin his previously announced retirement.

Thomson will move to CTV News Channel while Ien will develop new projects with Bell Media In-House Productions.

Friday’s final Canada AM episode will be a tribute to both the program and its hosts.

Until a new show is announced and goes on the air, a simulcast of live CTV News Channel program.

Fire crews issue danger warning as drones buzz Fort McMurray wildfire area THE CANADIAN PRESS

Cyberbullying insurance to cover victim’s costs THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — In a sign of the times, Chubb has brought its cyberbullying insurance to Canada.

The coverage for homeowners provides up to $60,000 to pay for a victim’s expenses related to harassment and intimidation committed by computer, phone or mobile devices.

It suggests costs could include legal defence against wrongful termination or false arrest.

Costs could also include medical treatment for mental anguish or shock, security consultants and professional public relations services.

Chubb’s coverage for victims of cyberbullying was introduced in the U.K. in December and has been offered in the United States since March.

The price of the Canadian insurance wasn’t immediately available.

EDMONTON — Crews fighting a wildfire around Fort McMurray in northern Alberta say drones are buzzing about and threatening operations.

Senior wildfire manager Chad Morrison says drones haven’t affected firefighting operations at this point, but can be dangerous.

Drones, while small, can get caught up in the rotors of helicopters or

plane propellers.

Morrison says he believes the drones are attempting to get aerial footage of the fire.

The area around the blaze that forced more than 80,000 people from their homes is still restricted air space as

choppers and air tankers continue to fly in and out of the airport.

The fire is holding at 5,800 square kilometres, but is no longer threatening Fort McMurray and residents have begun to return to the city.

French’s partners to bottle ketchup TORONTO — French’s Food Company says all the ketchup it sells in Canada will now be bottled in this country.

All the tomatoes in French’s ketchup sold in Canada already come from local farmers, but the company previously produced some of the product in the United States.

French’s has partnered with Select Food Products Ltd. in Toronto to build a new manufacturing facility that will be fully operational early next year.

The company says it has also expanded its partnership with Highbury Canco, which sources and packages the tomatoes and tomato paste used in French’s Canadian ketchup at its Leamington, Ont., facility.

The two will work together to develop and manufacture two new fla-

voured ketchups to be launched early next year.

French’s ketchup soared in popularity earlier this year after a man’s Facebook post lauded the U.S.-based company for its commitment to buy tomatoes from Canadian farmers while its competitor, Heinz, closed its Leamington plant, costing the community about 750 jobs.

French’s says it will also look to source other materials, like packaging and labels, from Canadian manufacturers.

Samsung challenges Fitbit with $180 fitness tracker with GPS

NEW YORK — Just in time for summer, Samsung is unveiling a new fitness tracker aimed to undercut gadgets from

market leader Fitbit.

Beyond offering all-day step counting and automatic sleep tracking, the $180 Gear Fit2 comes with GPS sensors for more accurate measuring of distance and pacing for runners and cyclists.

GPS is typically limited to higher-end devices, such as the Fitbit Surge and the Microsoft Band 2, both of which go for $250. The Fit2 is also cheaper than the new $200 Fitbit Blaze, which doesn’t have GPS. The main drawback: The Fit2 won’t sync with iPhones, as Fitbits do.

An Android phone is required for syncing music and workout data.

Advance orders on the Fit2 will begin Friday in the U.S., with shipments a week later.

Crown: Murder planned ‘for the thrill of it’ by incinerating the body, Leitch said.

They planned the crime “for the thrill of it,’’ he added.

He’s told the jury not to fret about who pulled the trigger on the night Bosma vanished.

“You may never be able to decide who did what inside the truck where Tim Bosma was shot,’’ Leitch said.

“Here is the issue: are you satisfied they were in it together and were knowingly involved in a planned murder?’’

Leitch said the jury shouldn’t worry about why the pair did it.

“Sometimes people commit crimes and we just don’t know why,’’ Leitch said.

“So long as they planned to

THE CANADIAN PRESS

HAMILTON — The prosecution in the Tim Bosma murder trial said yesterday the jury doesn’t have to decide who pulled the trigger because both of the accused planned to kill the Hamilton man and cover up the crime.

Crown prosecutor Tony Leitch said in his closing arguments only three people know what happened on May 6, 2013, when Bosma vanished after taking two men for a test drive in his truck — and one of them is dead.

Dellen Millard and Mark Smich killed the Hamilton father as part of an elaborate plan to steal someone’s Dodge pickup truck, kill its owner and destroy all the evidence

murder Tim Bosma and the other one helped to carry out the plan, they are both guilty in the eyes of the law.’’

Millard, 30, of Toronto, and Smich, 28, of Oakville, Ont., pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in Bosma’s death.

Millard was the ringleader, the mastermind, Leitch said as he began to go through the mountain of evidence presented during the four-month trial, and Smich was his right-hand man.

Leitch said Millard bought the gun — a Walther PPK — used to kill Bosma in February 2012 and showed the jury photos of both accused handling the weapon and texting about it. The gun has never been found and Smich previously

testified he buried it in a forest in Oakville, but couldn’t remember where.

They were both involved in plans for the incinerator.

First, Millard’s employee tried to build one, but after that failed, the aviation heir bought a commercial one that was modified to fit onto a trailer, Leitch said.

Millard purchased the incinerator, a massive machine with “The Eliminator’’ painted in red letters, for $23,000.

It was one the final pieces of the puzzle for Smich and Millard, Leitch said.

There was no evidence the incinerator was ever used for anything besides burning a human body, Leitch told the jury.

The pair continued to hunt for a Dodge Ram 3500 pickup truck — Millard wanted it to haul a large trailer with a Jeep inside that they would use to compete in the Baja off-road race in Mexico that May. “A motive to kill, a plan to eliminate, a diesel truck their trophy,’’ Leitch said.

They didn’t worry about showing their faces to their target, Leitch said, because it didn’t matter.

“Dead men don’t do photo lineups,’’ Leitch said.

Smich has testified it was Millard who shot and killed Bosma and burned his body in the incinerator. Millard’s lawyer, however, says it was Smich who accidentally shot Bosma in the truck during a botched robbery.

NEB grants Imperial Oil more time to build project CALGARY — The National Energy Board (NEB) is giving Imperial Oil until the end of 2022 to start building the long-delayed Mackenzie Gas Project, a pipeline that would ship natural gas from the Northwest Territories to northern Alberta.

The board originally approved the project in December 2010 and the federal cabinet of then-prime minister Stephen Harper sanctioned it the next year.

But one of the conditions was that construction had to start by the end of 2015.

Last year, Imperial Oil asked the board for a seven-year extension deadline because of low gas prices.

The NEB said it recognizes the project isn’t currently economical and would give the proponents more time to allow markets to recover.

In granting approval of the extension

yesterday, the board said the project doesn’t require new public proceedings and is still in the public interest.

The decision now goes to the federal cabinet of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for final approval.

A spokesman for Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr said cabinet would make a decision before the end of September, when the project certificate expires.

The proposed $16.1-billion pipeline would run 1,200 kilometres from gas fields near the coast of the Beaufort Sea to the northern Alberta boundary, where it would link up with existing gas pipelines.

Imperial’s partners in the project include ConocoPhillips Canada, Shell Canada Ltd., ExxonMobil Canada and the Aboriginal Pipeline Group.

Who will be No. 3?

PRICE, MCGHEE IN DOGFIGHT FOR JOB WITH LEOS MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

hey’re roommates and they get along just fine, but on the field, Keith Price and Greg McGhee are engaged in a showdown for the B.C. Lions’ third-string quarterback job.

“You’ve got to bring your A-game every day,” said McGhee, enjoying his second training camp with the Lions in Kamloops. “This is my life. This is what I’ve always wanted to do.”

Jonathan Jennings is expected to start at quarterback in 2016 on the back of the magic he produced last season, completing 66 per cent of his passes (142-of-215) for 2,004 yards, with 15 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in six games. The Lions signed Jennings, 23, to a three-year extension in May. Accomplished 32-year-old veteran Travis Lulay will fight for the No. 1 job and will be at the ready should Jennings falter during the regular season.

McGhee, a 6-foot-3, 208-pound pivot who attended Howard University, and Price, the University of Washington product who stands 6-foot-1 and weighs 202 pounds, have both impressed offensive co-ordinator Khari Jones through the first eight days of camp.

Keith Price prepares to unleash at B.C. Lions’ training camp in Kamloops earlier this week, with Greg McGhee surveying the field in the background. The two athletic, big-arm QBs are competing for the Lions’ third-string job, behind Jonathan Jennings and Travis Lulay.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

“Greg’s a very athletic guy who can make all the throws and probably has the biggest arm of the bunch,” Jones said.

“He’s just absorbing things, just so young and figuring it out a little bit. He’s somebody to watch.

“Keith is very poised and polished. You can tell he’s played a lot and had a nice college career. He’s a guy who seems to have good feel for the game. He knows where to be, when to stay in the pocket and when to leave. Those are things you sometimes can’t teach.”

McGhee, a lefty, must have questioned his future in B.C. when Jeff Tedford resigned from his post as Lions’ head coach in December.

It was Tedford who contacted McGhee last year when he didn’t seem to be garnering much interest south of the border, leading the former Howard star to bypass the NFL Draft and sign with B.C. “I can’t get worried about if I was a Tedford guy or a Wally guy,” said McGhee, who at Howard became the MidEastern Athletic Conference’s all-time leader in total offensive yards (10,168). “That affects your play down the line, so you’ve got to mentally stay focused and compete every day, so you don’t be at home. It was their option to keep me or not, and they kept me.”

Price signed with the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent in May 2014, but was released two months later and signed that September with the Saskatchewan

Roughriders, who did not renew his contract for 2016. He inked a deal with the Lions in March.

In Seattle, Price was at the bottom of the depth chart, competing for a roster spot against Russell Wilson, Tarvaris Jackson, B.J. Daniels and Terrelle Pryor.

“Russell was an awesome mentor and still is,” Price said.

“That’s my guy. Any time I can get up with him, chop it up with him and pick his brain, is awesome.

“Now, I’m two-and-a-half hours away from where I went to college and this feels like a second home to me. I’m blessed. It’d be awesome if I was able to stick on the roster.”

The Leos’ staff will make the final decision by committee, but Jones is confident a frontrunner will emerge to make the choice easier.

“You trust your eyes and it’s usually by consensus,” Jones said. “It usually plays itself out to where it’s pretty evident.

Both those guys are out here competing hard.”

McGhee, 23, and Price, 24, and are both athletic QBs with strong arms. Head coach and general manager Wally Buono will have the final say.

“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 hard-working guys.

“Now, it’s a matter of who takes charge and who comes out the better.”

Ex-Leo looking for love on Bachelorette MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Internet remembers everything, even a hair-flip that foreshadowed one former B.C. Lion’s reality TV star potential.

Jordan Rodgers, who appears to be among the frontrunners to find love on the Bachelorette this season, swashbuckled his way off the Leos’ bus at organized team activities (OTAs) in Surrey last year and, without looking at the camera he seemingly knew was there, flipped his blond locks back before exiting stage left.

Behind him was Grey Cup champion QB Travis Lulay, who mimicked Rodgers, jolting his head dramatically before running his fingers through his long, imaginary hair, unable to conceal the wry smile on his face.

Not long after that video was taken, Rodgers announced he would be leaving the Lions to pursue a career on the small screen.

“I didn’t know I’d see him on

JORDAN RODGERS

the Bachelorette a year later, but it didn’t shock me that I did,” said Lulay, noting Rodgers’ quick wit and sense of humour will help in his quest for JoJo Fletcher’s hand in marriage.

“He’s made for TV and, shoot, he came out with a big start, so you never know. The little bit I was around him, I think people understood he was good with the ladies.”

By the time Episode 1 ended, Rodgers had already established himself as a contender.

Realizing he missed an opportunity to plant one on Fletcher, he returned to take care of unfinished

business, sharing a smooch with the dazzling brunette that left her weak at the knees.

(The cameras just happened to catch it all under dim, romantic lighting, the backyard shot framed neatly by a wooden trellis and a waterfall.)

Episode 3 is set to air on Monday night.

Rodgers’ brother is Super Bowl MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers, already a Green Bay Packers’ legend for leading the Wisconsin squad to the promised land.

Jordan, 27, is no football slouch himself, having enjoyed success at Butte and Vanderbilt in the college ranks before bouncing around the NFL for a few seasons, with pit stops in Jacksonville, Tampa Bay and Miami.

The Dolphins cut Rodgers in May of 2014 and that’s when he headed north to the CFL, signing with the Lions in October of 2014.

He abruptly quit the team following OTAs in April of 2015.

“Part of the reason he left right before training camp last year is

because he thought he had a good opportunity with FOX Sports or some sports outlet in L.A.,” Lulay said of Rodgers, who had a cameo appearance in Pitch Perfect 2.

“He had that way about him and, yeah, he had the hair going on. When the announcement came that he was going to be on the Bachelorette, we were all kind of chatting about it. We’ve been following along.”

Lulay said rumours of viewing parties in kicker Richie Leone’s room have been swirling about training camp at Hillside Stadium, but the squad has been preoccupied with other things, such as bouncing back from a dismal 7-11 campaign.

Leone roomed with Rodgers last year and the two became friends.

“I think he’s a frontrunner and I think he’s going to do pretty well,” said Leone, who has texted Rodgers to let him know he’s following along. “That’s so him. He’s definitely got the personality and the swag and all that adds up to

him being a good reality TV star.”

The 6-foot-1, 212-pound pivotcum-Lothario wasn’t around for long, but seems to have left a few Lions believing he has what it takes to win JoJo’s heart.

“A couple of the guys are talking about it and I’m hearing a couple stories,” said Greg McGhee, a second-year QB who was around for Rodgers’ cup of coffee in B.C. “It’s pretty funny hearing a couple stories. That’s what they say — he’s a ladies man and he loves the camera, so he’s in a perfect place for what he wants to do.”

Episode 1’s drunk hunk spent time at TRU

The Bachelorette contestant who embarrassed himself on the first episode of Season 12 by becoming extremely inebriated and stripping down to his underwear has ties to Kamloops.

Dan Maguire, from Penticton, was a student at Thompson Rivers University before pursuing a career in male modelling.

KAMLOOPS ABSENT AT NATIONALS

LOCAL RIDER ALLEN SIDELINED FROM WHISPERING PINES RACE WITH KNEE INJURY ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

When the 2016 Rockstar Energy Drink Motocross Nationals get underway at Kamloops’ Whispering Pines Raceway this weekend, they will do so without the lone local rider.

Kamloops’ Josh Allen, a mainstay at the circuit stop for half a decade, aggravated a meniscus injury in his right knee on Tuesday, forcing his withdrawal from the hometown moto.

“You can’t beat hometown races. How many times do you get out there in front of your friends and family, right?” a disappointed Allen told KTW.

The knee, which he originally hurt riding with his dad on Christmas Day last year, was aggravated when Allen put his foot down to navigate a corner as he was training for this weekend’s race.

“That was enough to make it pop and feel pretty ugly in there,” he continued.

“I’ve got to take some time off and get some muscle growth, I guess, strengthen that knee up.”

Kamloops’ moto is the first stop in the 10-race Rockstar series, which also makes appearances in Nanaimo, Calgary, Regina, Courtland, Ont., Ulverton, Que., Truro, N.S., Moncton, Deschambault, Que., and Barrie.

The action at

Whispering Pines goes both tomorrow and Sunday.

The gates open at 6:30 a.m. both days.

Allen’s injury now jeopardizes his entire professional season. The 25-year-old had planned to compete in the West Coast stops on the Canadian tour in 2016, as he did in 2015.

But the lack of a local racer shouldn’t take away from the Whispering Pines moto. The event promises heated competition in both the MX1 (450cc, four-stroke engines) and MX2 (250cc, four-stroke and twostroke engines) classes.

“There’s more talent in both classes than there ever has been,” Allen said.

“I feel like the battling, the racing, is going to be better than ever. There’s going to be guys racing all the way back to 40th place.”

One of those racers will be Jacob Hayes, a North Carolina-based rider who will be competing on the Canadian circuit for the first time in 2016.

He’s part of a wideopen MX2 class, with two-time national champion Kaven Benoit moving to the MX1 division for 2016.

Cole Thompson, Jeremy Medaglia, Shawn Maffenbeier and Dylan Wright are among the names expected to join Hayes in the championship chase.

“For myself, my expec-

tations are really high, honestly,” Hayes told KTW. “I know I haven’t done it [outdoor racing] in a while and this will actually be my first year doing the Canadian outdoor nations, but I’ve done my homework.

“I feel I can do really well and I’m looking to win the championship. I wouldn’t be satisfied with anything less.”

Though one of a number of American imports racing in Canadian nationals, Hayes has a connection to the Tournament Capital as a member of the Leading Edge Kawasaki team, based in Kamloops.

vides the team with an opportunity to sell Kamloops and the players with a chance to sell themselves, with ice time at Brock Arena scheduled from 1 p.m. to 2:45 p.m. tomorrow and 9:30 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. on Sunday. The public is welcome to watch.

Management and coaching staff will be charting the progress of the 2000-born group, which includes prospects such 23rd overall pick Jackson Shepard, a promising forward, and defenceman Luke Zazula, both of whom made their WHL debuts last season.

The 2001-born crew, which includes 15th overall pick Massimo Rizzo, will be looking to make a good first impression ahead of training camp, which starts in August.

“We want to introduce them to the program earlier, so when they come to training camp they’ve already met our coaches

and our staff,” said Tim O’Donovan, the Blazers’ director of hockey and media administration.

“And, for the 16-year-olds who’ve already been here for a year, it will give us a better idea for decisionmaking in August.”

There will be meetings held with players and their families, which will help team management assess character, and fitness testing today will aid staff in providing advice for summer training programs.

“We want to sell all the great things we have and this will be a great, relaxed atmosphere to get to know families,” MacGregor said.

Who’s going?

For the list of players expected to be in attendance, go online to kamloopsthisweek. com.

Tanner Bahm of Dawson Creek will be absent, as he recently became ill.

Canadians in contention for Kamloops title From A21

The relationship, along with a weeklong trip to Kamloops earlier this year, gives the first stop on the Canadian circuit a homey feel.

“I really like it up there. It kind of reminds me a lot of home,” Hayes said.

“With the team being so close to the race track right there in Kamloops and just with me gelling so well with all of them, when I go up there it feels right at home.

“I feel like that’s why I’m looking for such success this season because I do feel right at home.”

The MX1 class, meanwhile, will feature reigning champion Matt Goerke, 2013 champion Brett

Metcalfe, four-time Canadian champion Colton Facciotti, Mike Alessi, Vince Friese, Tyler Medaglia and Benoit, all of whom are expected to contend.

Allen said the class, the one he would have been competing in, is anyone’s to take.

“I think Canadians have a good chance of winning both classes, which is good because a lot of times Americans win,” he said.

“At the same time, Mike Alessi is going to be tough to beat in that class, coming off a good past season. A new team, a new bike, he should be feeling good.”

In 2015, Metcalfe won the MX1 class at Whispering Pines and Jimmy Decotis won the MX2 class.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

Riley Peterson of the Kamloops Venom is swarmed by a pair of defenders in action against the Vernon Tigers earlier this season. The Venom won’t play at home this weekend. The game tomorrow has been cancelled.

The Venom’s deadly pair ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

You might call them the dynamic duo of the Kamloops Venom.

Riley Peterson and Kyle Pauwels have been tearing up the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League in 2016, the pair of 20-year-olds leading Kamloops’ junior B lacrosse club to a sixgame winning streak to start the season and a 7-3 record heading into action in Armstrong against the Shamrocks (1-8) tonight.

Kamloops’ game tomorrow has been cancelled because the South Okanagan Flames don’t have enough players.

But the two are leaders in more than just offence. Both are quick to cast the spotlight elsewhere — the team chemistry on the 2016 Venom, they say, is something to behold; the talent across the roster immense.

Venom general manager Brandon Pittman is more willing to give credit to his two stars, but he, too, said the Venom boast more than just a one-two punch.

“They’re definitely key players,” he said.

“I think there’s more to it. We’ve got a lot more well-rounded team this

year. That has a lot to do with Peterson and Pauwels doing as good as they are.”

The reason aside, the duo’s production has been nothing short of astonishing this season.

It’s expected to continue throughout the TOJLL campaign.

Peterson, who has appeared in all 10 of the Venom’s games this season, has 78 points, including 32 goals, to lead the club — and the league — in both stats.

Pauwels, meanwhile, has suited up in six contests since returning to the Venom from the NCAA’s Pfeiffer University Falcons and has 39 points, including 23 goals.

Together, they’ve combined to score 55 of Kamloops’ 136 goals this season. No other player has scored more than 14.

And while Pauwels’ name might sometimes grab the headlines — the Kamloops kid playing lacrosse in North Carolina, recording the best shooting percentage in NCAA division 2 as a freshman — but it’s the growth in Peterson’s game that is impressing those around the Venom’s locker room.

That and the chemistry Peterson and Pauwels share.

“It has grown so much,” Pauwels said.

“I’ve played with this kid since bantam — that’s like eight years now. We played in New Westminster together, we played college for a bit. We definitely know each other’s patterns and stuff like that. I think when we get back in the summertime, we’re always gelling and playing to our best.”

Pittman said Peterson has taken on more of a leadership role as a 20-year-old, appearing in his second-to-last season.

He certainly wouldn’t take the credit for Kamloops’ potent offence when he spoke to KTW this week — the Venom having scored more goals than any other team in the TOJLL entering the weekend — deferring to what those around, as leaders typically do.

“Honestly, we have good team chemistry right now,” Peterson said. “We’re all just kind of clicking right now.

“I think it’s one of the strongest teams we’ve had in a long time for the Venom. It’s just really exciting to be a part of.”

Pauwels enjoying his NCAA career

Two seasons into his university field lacrosse career, Pauwels couldn’t have predicted lacrosse

would take him to the NCAA. “I was really focused on hockey through bantam and then I kind of started to fall out of the game of hockey.

I decided to make a change to lacrosse and focus on that and I was fortunate to start getting offers in Grade 11 and 12,” he said.

“It’s a chance to get an education, play the sport of lacrosse. It’s something I definitely wanted to do. I’ve been very fortunate.”

Pauwels’ Pfeiffer Falcons were 8-7 in 2016 — it was a step back from the 10-5 record he helped the club to in the 2015 season, but the Kamloops native managed a strong sophomore campaign. He had 30 points, including 23 goals, in 12 games. He was No. 4 in team scoring.

Coming back to the Venom in the summers remains a special experience for the attackman, whose brother, Kolby, also plays for the junior B club.

“It takes a while to adjust,” Kyle said.

“You’re playing the field game for about eight months and you’ve got to shift into that other game, but it’s fun. I’ve played this game, this box game, for quite a while now and it’s something special, for sure.”

The Thompson Rivers WolfPack will have three players and a coach in Gatineau, Que., as Canada’s national junior team opens its selection camp this weekend.

Middles Kyle Behiels and Sam Taylor Parks, along with outside hitter Charlie Bringloe and head coach Pat Hennelly, have made the trip east for the Canadian camp.

“When we recruited these three guys . . . we said this was one of our best high school recruiting classes of all time,” Hennelly said.

“We have seen Sam and Kyle make a big move. They both secured starting spots for us and were named league all-stars.

They have started to show their potential and I believe there is more there. Charlie was one of the top two recruits in the country when we brought him in.

“We want these guys to be successful at the next level and challenge themselves. There is a chance they might fail, but you have to take the challenge.”

The Spence family raked in the awards at the B.C. Provincial Speed Skating Association annual general meeting on the weekend, the latest accolades in the careers of the Kamloops River City Racers athletes.

Eric Spence was a double award winner, receiving the Provincial Skater Bursary as a provincial skater in Grade 12 who has shown talent in the sport of speedskating and is proceeding to a post-secondary institution. He was also named the Provincial Junior Volunteer of the Year after hours coaching young skaters throughout his high school years. The 18-yearold was also involved in reviving the Kamloops Polarthon.

Josie Spence, meanwhile, received the National Long Track Skater of the Year Award, after qualifying and competing in both the Fall and Winter World Cup Speed Skating series this season. The 21-year-old won her first World Cup medal,

a silver, and qualified for three events in the World Single Distance Championships.

Twenty-two-year-old Victoria received certificates recognizing her excellence during the longtrack speedskating season. She was the first Canadian female to participate in, and finish, the World Cup Marathon event (28 kilometres) in Alkmaar, Netherlands. She also won at the Canada Cup. Finally, 20-year-old Sara received an honourable mention for her top-10 performances at World Cup Trials and her first-place finish at CanAms.

CHEVROLET IMPALA LT STK#2768A

Sullivan: Crosby no cheater Coach Mike Sullivan says that if Sidney Crosby is cheating in the faceoff circle, so is everyone else.

The Pittsburgh Penguins coach defended his star centre on a conference call yesterday against charges from some San Jose Sharks that Crosby has been getting away with mischief in the faceoff circle.

Crosby won a draw in the San Jose zone that led to Conor Sheary’s game-winning goal in overtime on Wednesday to give the Penguins a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven Stanley Cup final.

San Jose forward Logan Couture said Crosby is given a pass by officials “because of who he is,’’ while defenceman Marc-Edouard Vlasic said he “should have been kicked out’’ on the decisive draw.

The Sharks may have been trying to get officials to watch Crosby more closely on faceoffs, but Sullivan said he is not worried.

“All centres that go in and take faceoffs are trying to get an edge,’’ said Sullivan. “That’s just the reality of it.

“They’re doing the same things that our guys are doing.

more of a level of consistency to his game and has brought more of a contribution.

“I can’t say enough for what he’s done for us in the postseason. He plays a lot of critical minutes for us.’’

The Penguins dominated most of the first two games but the Sharks made an impressive push in the third period that led to the tying goal from Justin Braun with 4:05 left in regulation time.

Sullivan expects more of the same as the series shifts to San Jose, where Sharks coach Peter DeBoer will have last line change.

“These are two pretty good hockey teams going at it,’’ said Sullivan. “There are times we have momentum and territory and zone time and, when San Jose makes a push, they have good players and they’re going to try to do the same.

“That’s the way the first two games have played out. I really like how our team’s played.

“When we’ve had defensive zone time, we’ve defended extremely hard as a group. My main goal here is to make sure we get through those momentum swings without getting hurt and I think our guys have done a really good job in that regard.’’

“The way I look at it, that’s all part of being a centreiceman and trying to figure out ways to get an edge and be successful. Sid’s not doing anything that their guys aren’t doing. Quite honestly, it really isn’t worthy of a response. My main focus is our group and our mindset going into Game 3. We want to make sure we focus on the task at hand.’’

Game 3 is set for tomorrow in San Jose.

Crosby called the play that led to the game-winner to his teammates on the ice. He drew the puck back to Kris Letang who, instead of shooting, found Sheary open in the slot.

“He’s a great leader,’’ said Sullivan. “He takes charge of his line; he takes charge of situations on the ice.

“He’s reading in the true sense of the word and that was just an indication of it in the overtime.’’

He also had high praise for Sheary, a 23-year-old rookie who has been put on Crosby’s line despite all the attention and expectations that come with it.

“He’s had a whirlwind of a year with being called up and sent down a few times,’’ said Sullivan. “But, each time he’s been called up, he’s brought

Report: Raptors re-sign head coach Casey JON KRAWCZYNSKI

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Dwane Casey spent five years turning the Toronto Raptors into a contender in the Eastern Conference.

After the most successful season in franchise history, the Raptors moved quickly to make sure he sticks around to continue the work.

Casey and the Raptors agreed yesterday to a three-year, US$18-million contract

extension, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team has not announced the deal.

Casey was under contract for one more season, but the new terms will kick in starting with next season.

Raptors GM Masai Ujiri promised last week that the deal would get done “in his sleep,’’ and he worked

quickly to make it happen.

Casey inherited a team that went 22-60 in 2010-2011 and had long suffered from a stigma of playoff failures. He methodically moulded the Raptors into a hard-nosed, defensive-minded team that won a franchise-record 48 games in his third season and has improved upon that number in each of the last two years, culminating in a 56-26 record this season.

He entered the season still feeling some pressure after backto-back first-round exits. But the Raptors beat the Pacers and the Heat in seven-game series and handed the Cleveland Cavaliers their first two losses of the playoffs in a six-game defeat in the Eastern Conference final.

“I really think we’re a step ahead in the process,’’ Casey said after the Game 6 loss to Cleveland.

“The players worked and put themselves in this process. We’re still a relatively young team to talk about competing for a championship, but they put themselves in that position by hard work and fighting through things this season.’’

Along the way, the well-respected Casey has displayed a strong ability to develop talent. He helped the mercurial Kyle Lowry harness his attitude and aggression and

blossom into one of the best point guards in the league, helped DeMar DeRozan diversify his game and become one of the better mid-range scorers in the league and, most recently, got Bismack Biyombo to realize his potential after struggling in Charlotte.

Now, Lowry and DeRozan are all-stars and Biyombo has positioned himself for a massive pay day in free agency.

“We still have a

ways to go and I’ve said this the whole time, that next step is probably the biggest step we have to take as an organization and as individuals,’’ Casey said.

“Myself included, the coaching staff, each player. We just talked in there a while ago about what each guy has to do, what they have to bring back to the table for us to take the next step, that next step, and it’s not going to be easy.’’

Barney, Jays rounding into form entering Boston MELISSA COUTO

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Darwin Barney knew he wanted to re-sign with Toronto as soon as he became a free agent at the end of last season.

With the way he’s been playing lately, the Blue Jays are glad he did.

Barney went 3-for-3 on Wednesday to pick up his third multi-hit game over his last five starts as Toronto cemented a threegame sweep over their division rival New York Yankees with a 7-0 victory.

“You walk into this clubhouse and these

guys are swinging the bats the way they do it just kind of spreads,’’ said Barney, who joined the Blue Jays in a late-season trade with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

“I took that confidence that these guys have to the plate with me last year and that was a big part of the reason why when I was a free agent I wanted to come back.

“I like the feeling here, I like the attitude we bring. You can be yourself at the plate and you don’t have to do too much. There’s a lot of power in this lineup and I think that had a lot to do with me

really pushing to come back.’’

Toronto’s sweep over New York was the Blue Jays’ first of the season and their first sweep of the Yankees at Rogers Centre in 16 seasons.

After starting the year with a disappointing 11-14 April, Toronto seems to have turned a corner, going 17-12 through May and winning their first game in June.

Barney has been a big part of that.

The infielder, who’s starting with more frequency since allstar shortstop Troy Tulowitzki hit the disabled list with a

quadriceps injury on May 28, is batting .344 through 33 games — and .536 over his last 10.

Barney made a name for himself as a defensive specialist, especially after winning a Gold Glove with the Chicago Cubs in 2012, but he didn’t start his major-league career with that reputation. Recently he’s been working with Blue Jays hitting coach Brook Jacoby to round out his game.

“Brook and I sat down and talked about what made me a good hitter my first two seasons in the big leagues. We looked at

Home for Sale 450 Battle Street West • $589K

some video and tried to get back to that guy,’’ Barney said.

“That’s basically it.

Just being myself, not trying to do too much and putting good atbats together.’’

While Barney admits he’s happy with the way things are going, he also knows the Blue Jays can’t afford to get complacent.

Toronto (29-26) had an off day yesterday before beginning a three-game series against the divisionleading Red Sox (32-21) at Boston’s Fenway Park. Tonight’s game will mark the Blue Jays’ 33rd against AL

Dodgers are OK

The Los Angeles Dodgers aren’t going to face any discipline from Major League Baseball over the laser flap at Citi Field last weekend.

The New York Mets wanted MLB to look into how the Dodgers were using a laser range-finder to set defensive positioning in the outfield before a game and whether they were marking the field for shifts.

MLB has told teams that using electronic devices is OK before games, but not during play.

East teams already this season, more than any other team in the division.

Their AL-East heavy schedule continues with two more series against second-placed Baltimore in mid-June.

“Early in the year, our pitching would be good and we weren’t scoring runs or the other way around,’’ Barney said. “I think no one in here really doubted that we were a well-rounded team.

“It’s starting to show a little bit and we’ve got a big series coming up. We’ve got to keep it up, keep the pressure on our division.’’

OAKLAND, Calif. — There’s a comfort level for MVP Stephen Curry and his teammates this time around on the big stage.

Coach Steve Kerr even senses a calm about the Golden State Warriors as they go into a second straight NBA Finals — a second straight against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers, no less.

Everything was new last year. There were some nerves. Golden State’s daily schedule and routine got disrupted, which Kerr

called “a bit of a shock to our guys’ system.’’

“I don’t think anyone’s going to be nervous out there like we were last year,’’ Klay Thompson said.

Game 1 was played after KTW’s press deadline last night.

The 73-win Warriors are fresh off a Game 7 victory against the Oklahoma Thunder that capped a remarkable comeback from a 3-1 deficit and they hope to roll that momentum right into Game 1.

“I know we’re a better team than we were last year, just off experience and what we’ve been through in

this post-season, better equipped to kind of handle the scene of the Finals and all that’s kind of thrown at you when you get here,’’ Curry said.

“The first time, it’s a whirlwind.’’

While the Warriors have said all along this special, record-setting season won’t matter in the end if they don’t hoist another trophy, they know how much Cleveland wants this.

Desperately needs this, in fact, for a city starved of major sports triumphs.

“I think we’re stronger at our core, but we’re very similar as a basketball team,’’ Kerr said.

Norma Sorensen Wittall (nee Damgaard)

September 28,1934 – May 28, 2016 It is with great sadness to announce the passing of Norma on May 28, 2016 at the Kamloops Hospice peacefully surrounded by her loving family.

Norma was born September 28, 1934 in Calgary, Alberta.

Her family moved to Lynn Valley, North Vancouver where she grew up which included being May Day Queen. Later she met the love of her life Ernest Wittal and they were married on April 17, 1954. Both their sons Doug and Tom were born in Lynn Valley. In 1960 the family moved to Mabel Lake, BC and they purchased the Mabel Lake Resort with Ernie’s sister Elsie and her husband Victor Ring which they operated for a few years. Norma and Ernie’s 3rd son Jerry was born in Enderby in 1962. The family eventually moved to Kamloops and settled on Dallas Dr. which was their home for many wonderful years.

Norma is predeceased by her husband Ernie and is survived by her sons Doug (Mona), Tom (Uli) and Jerry (Dorothy) as well as her grandchildren Wayne (Danielle), Cassie (Andrew) and Brittany (Harley) and great-grandchildren Mia and Maddox.

Norma loved the outdoors (spending time at Shuswap) and fishing was one of her favourite activities as well as bowling and playing cards with her friends and neighbors in Dallas. She was very proud of her grandchildren and recently her great-grandchildren Mia and Maddox.

She will be forever in our hearts and sadly missed.

A Celebration of Life to share stories and memories will be held on June 18, 2016 (1:00 pm to 4 pm) Sandman Centre (Rivers Room upstairs/entrance by Box office), 300 Lorne Street, Kamloops, BC.

Donald Laverne Anderson May 2, 1948 - May 19, 2016

We sorrowfully announce that Donald ‘Donnie’ Anderson died at noon on May 19 at Kootenay Lake Hospital of liver cancer.

He was born in Burns Lake, BC on May 2, 1948. From early on he declared his confident (brassballed) and independent (freewheeling) nature, having to be delicately coaxed off the end of a log boom by his frantic mother at age 3.

He could not be tethered or contained and these were qualities that served him his entire life. Donnie left school at a relatively early age (the idea was not original to him) and began a highly successful, if not notorious, career as one of Canada’s most well known and respected diamond drillers. He was known in the trade as a highballer amongst highballers and his work took him to many countries including China, India, Africa, Australia, South America, Central America and, for the last 10 years of his working life, Mexico.

Donnie’s love of people, young and old, rich and poor, notables and misfits, hippies and crown prosecutors (ok, well, defence lawyers) and his unforgettable humour and wit, shenanigans and antics, his capers and escapades, make for a lifetime of iconic and legendary “Donnie stories”. He was a generous guy, principled, an exuberant and cheerful gambler, an armchair sports enthusiast and a lover of animals, especially dogs. He also loved to fish, hunt, golf and in his earlier years, dive.

Donnie was predeceased by his father Buel, his brother Murray and numerous close friends.

Left to quietly process the emotional enormity of our loss (and the inestimable gain from having known him) are his mother Lea Anderson, his sister Trudy Keim (Ken), his sister Rose Anderson (Malik), his brother Bob Reynolds, his nieces Dawn and Danielle, his nephews Jonah, Dustin and Brooke and numerous close friends.

We extend heartfelt thank you’s to Dr. Tuvel, Dr. Bridger and Dr. Vance, to the compassionate and exemplary nurses on the third floor, to the Martin family and the Hume Hotel for their generous hospitality during his recent living wake, but especially to you Dr. Malpass, Thank You.

Ask DRAKE Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director

Every Friday in KTW!

Q. What’s this chrome thing I found with Murray’s ashes?

A. It’s a disk the crematorium assigned to Murray the moment he arrived at the crematorium. It stayed with Murray from start to finish. The number on it ensures that the ashes you receive are, indeed, Murray’s.

month musical celebration.

Small said he tries to showcase new talent that has come onto the scene — one of the local bands he has booked is the Jeremy Kneeshaw Trio, for example — with fan favourites like the Kamloops Rube Band.

He also books local bands that are showing musical growth and depth, like Dodie Goldney’s Instamatics, one of three performing in the park on Canada Day. Through the years, there have been some performers booked who didn’t live up to their resume, causing some anxious moments.

One year there was a Rod Stewart tribute singer whose agent told Small he had performed around the world.

He looked like Stewart, Small said, but he didn’t sound like him, ran out of songs about an hour into the scheduled 90-minute show and finally sat down on the edge of the Rotary Bandshell stage and launched into a

question-and-answer session.

There have been times he’s been backstage and listened for applause that either didn’t come or was sparse “and that can bring a bad feeling.

I’ve had some anxious moments.”

Small credits YouTube for helping him get a better idea of the level of talent of musicians who contact him to play.

He’s still hoping to find someone who can help plan Music in the Park, a process that begins months before the July 1 opening.

Ideally, he said, he needs someone who has an ear for sound, understands musicians, can program the schedule to reflect community musical tastes and can ensure everything comes off well each night at Riverside and on Friday nights at McDonald Park.

Small’s also liaising with Peter North, artistic director of the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival, to help bring in some acts.

With several dozen acts booked, Small said some of those he’s most interested in hearing include: • Dirty Mountain, Victoria, a roots-rock band fronted by Elli Hart, with Lane Arndt on lead guitar, Gord Light on bass and Tom Salter on Drums. It’s performing on July 13.

• Norah Rendell, who was named best female vocalist this year by the Chicago Irish American News, her third time receiving the award for her acoustic Celtic folk. She’s on stage on July 7.

• Joanne Stacey, a Canadian country singer-songwriter with a sound that melds folk, blues and bluegrass. She’s booked for July 10.

• John McCuaig, an Edmonton-based band that includes bagpipes, and features everything from blues to hard rock. The band performs July 15.

• Liz Stringer, who’s heading to Canada from her home in Australia. Her music is described as lyrically strong, soulful and poetic. She’s in Kamloops on July 21. Small called her “simply awesome.”

• Cecile Doo-Kingue, born in New York City but now a Montrealer. She’s blends afro-roots and soul and has been called one of Canada’s most electrifying guitarists.

• The Tim Buckley Trio. Small was intrigued by the name as he is a fan of the American folk singer with the same name, although that Buckley died in 1975 at the age of 28.

Small said this Tim Buckley has a great voice and stage presence. The band performs on Aug. 15.

• Michael Occhipinti and Elizabeth Shepherd. Occhipinti has won eight Juno awards for his jazz albums. Shepherd often performs with him.

• Front Porch Roots Revue, a large band that includes in its sets some of its own music, covers and traditional music in blues, country, folk or gospel. It performs on Aug. 22.

• The Big Eli Blues Revival, a hard rock/ blues band from B.C. On stage on Aug. 27.

Things will be changing with Music in the Park next year.

The nightly free music will continue, said long-time organizer Henry Small, but he plans on tweaking his schedule to bring in music younger people like.

“It has to change,” he said, “because the young people, the young families are listening to more country, more jazzy blues, they’re far more eclectic in their musical tastes. I might even bring in a DJ one night because the younger generation has been growing up listening to DJs, not live music.”

He plans to stick with the same proportion in his musical choices, with 50 per cent of the musicians he books new to the city, 25 per cent performers whose past shows in Riverside Park were strong and 25 per cent local musicians.

That last proportion always causes problems, Small said, because Kamloops has so many bands and they all think they should have a time slot with the two-

The Western Canada Theatre board never expected Daryl Cloran to remain as its artistic director.

Board chair Tim Rodgers said when Cloran was hired, the hope was he would stay for three years and “we are ecstatic we got almost six years with him. We knew he’d move on.”

There’s no immediate rush to replace Cloran, who is taking over the same position with Edmonton’s Citadel Theatre,

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

Western Canada Theatre received $10,000 from the RBC Emerging Artists Project. Dave Maurer, RBC branch manager Kamloops main and Chase, and Pam Shaw, RBC regional vice-president, presented the cheque to WCT general manager Lori Marchand on the set of the WCT/TRU Young Company’s production of The Velveteen Rabbit. The project helps artists bridge the gap from emerging to established and supports organizations that provide the best opportunity to advance their career trajectory.

WCT: No rush to replace art director Cloran will return to direct three plays in the upcoming season — Made in Italy, The Comedy of Errors and The Cure for Death

By Lightning — but that won’t have much impact on the theatre budget, Rodgers said, because the average cost for a visiting director is between $4,000 and $5,000.

WCT’s mandate is to be a breeding ground for talent, Rodgers said, but the board needs to decide if it wants to look for another young up-andcoming artistic director or find someone with experience who might be interested in staying for a longer period of time.

However, timing is also important because, like Cloran, other artistic directors in the country are also deep into planning their 2017-2018 season and might not want to abandon it to take over the helm of WCT, Rodgers said.

Directors are in place for all plays in the upcoming season and the board is prepared to hire part-time directors, if necessary, for the subsequent season if an artistic director has not been hired.

New courts open this weekend in Riverside Park Kamloops’ pickleballers will have something to celebrate this weekend when four new courts open in Riverside Park.

Mayor Peter Milobar and city councillors will cut the ribbon at 10:30 a.m. Saturday on four tournament-standard courts, built this spring near the existing tennis courts.

The courts cost the city $250,000 to build, with a $25,000 contribution from the Sports Legacy Fund.

The new additions bring the number of tournament-ready courts in Kamloops to eight. Four more courts are located at McDonald Park on the North Shore.

Project educates about salmon

A project aimed at promoting awareness about endangered wild salmon is coming to Kamloops on Wednesday, June 8.

The Wild Salmon Caravan, led by B.C. Food Systems Network, will host ceremonies, songs and other creative expressions to call wild salmon home to rivers, lakes and streams of the Fraser Basin and Salish Sea. The public is invited to join in the festivities, which kick off at 11 a.m. and wrap up at 3:30 p.m., and wear colourful clothing to express “our love for wild salmon.”

The day’s itinerary is as follows: • 11 a.m.: Official welcoming, traditional drumming and singing at Riverside Park Beach • 11:30 a.m.: Marshalling parade at Riverside Park entrance • Noon: Parade leaves from Third Avenue to Victoria Street, to Fifth Avenue and back down Lansdowne Street to Third Avenue • 1 p.m.: Caravan to feats at T’Kemlups Pow Wow Arbour • 1:30 p.m.: Feast, music and storytelling • 3:30 p.m.: Closing A drop-in art workshop will be held at the Kamloops Farmers’

Getting young women involved

KamloopsThompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod is encouraging young women to join the Equal Voice, an organization aimed at inspiring women leaders.

“This is a historic national initiative to mark the 100th anniversary of women’s political engagement in 2016 and Canada’s 150th birthday in 2017,” McLeod said in a press release.

Women ages 18 to 23 can apply to be one of 338 who will take a seat in Parliament.

“I would encourage all young women from our riding to apply to the Daughters of the Vote initiative taking place in Ottawa next March 7, 2017,” stated McLeod. “This is a wonderful opportunity to not only take a seat in the House of Commons, but also become more familiar with Canada’s political institutions and those who serve in them.”

Applications will be accepted until June 30.

They can be found online at daughtersofthevote.ca.

More childcare spaces added

Little Fawn Nursery will add 32 child-care spaces thanks to a $500,000 investment from the B.C. Early Years Strategy.

The spaces will be fore infants and toddlers up to age three.

Tk’emlups te Sewepemc runs the centre. It’s chief, Fred Seymour, said the addition “will enable us to enhance our efforts for language immersion, but just as importantly it will enhance a strong

learning foundation for infants and toddlers.

“Our elders remind us how sacred our children are and we know that getting an early start in quality education in our traditions will contribute to a stronger community emulating pride,” Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone said.

“This funding opens the door for more local children to grow in Little Fawn Nursery’s stimulating and nurturing atmosphere.

“In a growing economy, working families depend on child-care providers to teach youngsters early skills and help them transition to school.

Kevin Bailey spent too much time in the bathroom as a kid.

His parents didn’t notice right away but as he lost weight and stopped eating, they realized there was something wrong.

Doctors diagnosed Crohn’s disease, a chronic form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that can manifest itself in so many symptoms it’s difficult to diagnose.

In essence, the intestine, bowel or other part of the intestine — usually the lower ileum — becomes inflamed and covered in ulcers. There is no cure.

Crohn’s and Colitis Canada sponsors an annual walk across the country — including Kamloops — to add to public awareness and raise money for research into Crohn’s and coli-

Dr. Della Summers

would like to welcome Jaimie & Joey to her Dental office Jaimie is a hygienist with 8 years experience. She originally started into the field of accounting, but found she missed the Biologic Sciences and working with people. Thus, she discovered the field of being a Dental Hygienist. Hygiene is a perfect marriage between the two. In Jaimie’s words, “she loves to help people and working closely with the wonderful Dr. Summers allows me to do just that”. Whether we are just maintaining your beautiful smile, or working to restore it back to health, I feel very lucky to be a part of that process.

Joey has been practicing in the Dental field for nearly 20 years. She graduated from Vancouver Community College with her Dental Assisting Certificate. After a few years as working as a CDA, she went back to school and graduated in 2002 as a Registered Dental Hygienist from The College of New Caledonia in Prince George.

I am very excited to be starting this wonderful journey with Dr. Summers.

She creates a relaxed environment, and her clinical skills are outstanding. If you are looking for a friendly and caring practice you found the right place.

tis, a similar IBD. The Kamloops Walk is on Sunday at the Xeriscape Garden on McArthur Island.

Registration is at 9 a.m., the warm-up starts 45 minutes later and walkers head out at 10 a.m.

Bailey is the honourary chair for the River City event.

He said while living with Crohn’s is difficult, he’s never felt it controlled his life. He stays positive and has no difficulty discussing what others call the “washroom disease.”

One in 150 Canadians has a type of IBD, one of the highest rates in the world.

However, at a recent summit on IBD, researchers noted the country is a centre of excellence worldwide in studying the diseases, searching for cures and providing care.

The summit produced recommendations, including: • Increase awareness of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, their complications and the barriers patients face in daily life; • Identify and address challenges patients face when dealing with the health system; • Encourage healthcare provider openness to discuss personalized treatment plans, including diet and alternative therapies with patients; • Support the investigation of causes, better therapies and an improved health system; and • Build capacity to ensure there is a strong new generation of researchers and healthcare providers.

Prague PIT STOP IN

JANE CASSIE

SPECIAL TO KTW

hat’s something that everyone hopes for when travelling?

Good weather, right?

Prior to this quick visit to Czech Republic, we constantly check the long range, in hopes of transforming the gloomy forecast.

No matter how much we visualize bluebird skies, we still end up puddle-jumping through Prague.

“It’s the wettest spring in 50 years,” said the hotel receptionist who took our damp luggage and checked us in. “But a drying trend is arriving sometime soon.”

Unfortunately, “sometime” was the operative word.

Hotel 16, a Rick Steeves recommendation, is a quaint boutique property just a short walk from Old Town.

Fourteen generously sized rooms sidle the skylight-bright atrium, one of which became our home for the next two days.

And as well as silver service, goodies are a given throughout our stay: afternoon cappuccino, 24/7 bevies and a daily breakfast spread that appeases us four rained-on nomads.

We travelled with friends, Sue and Don Fisher, and the visit to

Prague was just a pit stop en route to the main, bucket-list must-do — a 15-day European river cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam.

“A little rain won’t get in our way,” I said when checking out the map. “And being from the West Coast, we’ve come prepared.”

In short order, up went our umbrellas and on went the slickers.

The nearby trolley bus offered a dryer mode of transit that zipped us up to the viewpoint atop Vyšehrad Hill.

Even on grey days, the pinnacle gives a pretty panorama of the city’s red roof tops, church steeples and winding river.

Steps away is the guarded Vyšehrad Citadel and buildings that have been part of Czech’s history for over a thousand years.

We checked out the Diet Hall — it has nothing to do with food — where head gurus created the rules back in the 16th century, wandered through the grand community hall and meandered Golden Alley, a cottage-lined street hugging the castle’s northern wall.

Back in the day, these colourful abodes housed everyone from blacksmiths to prisoners (many who were terribly tortured).

“Pretty brutal times,” my husband Brent said, when checking out a gruesome-looking headcrushing device.

“And here we are, complaining about a little drizzle.”

Old Town Square is home to magnificent architecture in Prague.

BRENT CASSIE PHOTO

Though it was a wet one, the downhill sauntering was easy.

Through the iron gates, past the castle guards and along cobblestone paths to the Charles Bridge, a medieval-ager has spanned River Vltava since 1347.

It’s also where the hordes hang out — even on dull days.

Painters, palm-readers and pick-pocketers are all drawn to this tourist tromp.

And not surprisingly, all sported their parasols during the day’s crossing.

We meandered popular Old Town Square and attractions dating back to the 12th century.

Immortalized in bronze at centre stage is Jan Hus, a famous 14th-century philosopher who was considered to be the first church reformer.

The statue was erected in July 6, 1915, marking the 500th anniversary of his death.

The tower and Astronomical Clock, a still functioning time piece, is another historical focal

point everyone flocks to, especially on the hour, when it goes into action.

With craned necks, we witnessed the Walk of the Apostles, an entertaining display marked by moving sculptures and ringing bells.

For a price, we could have climbed to the top of the tower, a perch that provides a picturesque cityscape.

But we passed on the overcrowded opportunity, thinking it’s likely best to wait till the sun shines.

Nearby was a couple of indoor malls where we seek reprieve.

Lucerna Pasaz houses not only a cinema but a life-sized statue of a horse, suspended upside down from the ceiling.

And riding on the underside of his belly is Saint Wenceslas in shining armor created by sculptor, David Cerny.

Although the next mall, Palladium, doesn’t boast any objects d’art, it does house nearly 200 stores with lots of modern-day gems: Bennetton, Esprit, L’Occitane.

Who says rain is a bad thing?

Our final meal of the day was at Kolkovna, an eatery known for its pub grub and great beer.

Though the pit stop to Prague called for lots of puddle jumping, it was an amazing visit.

And while clinking our steins and toasting to better weather, our server chimes in.

“Have you heard? Many of the rivers are now closed to boating activity.”

We think about our upcoming river cruise, our must-do bucket list trip.

Will we be boating or bussing for the rest of our trip?

And that, my friends, I’ll save for another story.

Princess Cruises — the come back new experience

N

ever has a TV show put an entire industry in the spotlight like The Love Boat did for the cruise industry in the ‘70s and ‘80s.

I can still remember watching every week as Captain Stubing, Doc, Julie and Isaac sailed to every exotic location aboard the Pacific Princess.

Cruising with Princess Cruises has changed a lot since the 1970s. Stepping aboard a Princess ship is setting a course for a world of wonderful new discoveries.

When I dream of my next Princess Cruise, I think of the warm and welcoming consummate host that provides me a relaxed, rejuvenating retreat at sea in elegant comfort.

I think of the great service, distinct destinations and great food,

freshly prepared.

Princess has everything, from large ships carrying over 3,500 passengers, to smaller more intimate vessels accommodating just 680.

Recently, Princess Cruises introduced The Come Back New Experience, a series of onboard initiatives, innovations and immersive experiences through which Princess Cruises inspires you to “come back new.”

Here are some of the highlights:

Princess Cruises has teamed up with Discovery Channel to offer new on-board opportunities.

Teaming up with Discovery

Princess Cruises and Discovery Channel have teamed up to create new memorable vacation experiences, bringing the best of the channel onboard for the whole family to enjoy, Guests can let their imaginations set sail with a variety of activities including stargazing, exclusive Discovery

and Animal Planet shore excursions, Shark Week and more.

• Stargazing: Science Channel and Princess Cruises will take you on a cosmic

1sale DAY

EVENT

voyage as you look to the skies.

A Princess stargazing specialist will teach you how to find your bearings and identify the major constellations, hear the secrets of the stars and the folklore around them.

• Shark Week at sea: It’s not just one week anymore. Inspired by Discovery’s popular Shark Week, Princess has designed a variety of activities and games that will challenge adults and kids alike on the myths and interesting facts about sharks.

Princess brings you the most authentic Alaskan experiences onboard and ashore with their new Travel North to Alaska enrichment program.

There’s a reason Princess has been voted Travel Weekly’s Best Cruise Line in Alaska nine years running.

From world famous fresh Alaska seafood, to guest speakers from Discovery’s Deadliest Catch, the journey North to Alaska brings the best of the Great Land onboard.

• Cook my catch: Reel in your fish during the day while on an

excursion and enjoy it later that night for dinner.

Additionally, menus include “local dives,” specialty dishes from local eateries including Tracy’s King Crab Shack, The Alaska Fish House and the Skagway Fish Company.

• The real Alaskans: Meet some of Skagway’s newest sled dogs onboard. Snap a picture with the puppies and meet their dog handlers who will be training them for a life of dog mushing.

Or, hear first-hand from mountain climbers who have conquered Denali as they tell the exhilarating stories of their journey and present thrilling photos in the new Hudson Theater at the Mt. McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge.

• Tales from the Deadliest Catch: From the popular Discovery Channel program, Deadliest Catch, Captain David Lethin and his shipmates from The Aleutian Ballad relate their true-life adventures and experiences in the Bering Sea in pursuit of crab.

• Life of a lumberjack: Guests will be treated to a stimulating and

exciting presentation that reveals the life and adventures of an Alaskan lumberjack, and will include an authentic axe-throwing competition with selected guests.

• Fresh approach to fine dining: Celebrity chef, restaurateur, New York Times best-selling author and television personality Curtis Stone shares his passion for bringing people together through food that creates happiness around the table.

Guests can experience his finely crafted cuisine Crafted by Curtis menu items available in the main dining or experience Share, an allnew specialty restaurant on select ships.

• The best of Broadway: Stephen Schwartz, the Grammy, Academy and Tony award-winning composer, has created four original productions exclusively for Princess.

A spectacular musical, Magic To Do combines mesmerizing on-stage illusions with some of Schwartz’s most famous songs, plus a brand new number written exclusively for Princess.

• Salty Dog

Gastopub: Experience an elevated take on a variety of traditional comfort foods in the relaxed atmosphere of pub-style dining.

And, to top off the gastropub experience, Princess has introduced a brand new expansive whiskey bar menu, showcasing some of the best whiskies, bourbons and ryes from around the world. This pub also showcases the Seawitch Craft Beer Program.

• The sweet life: Master chocolatier Norman Love brings his decadent treats onboard. From signature chocolate cocktails, unique chocolate creations, chocolate spa treatments and more.

My favourite Norman Love experience was the chocolate and wine tasting aboard the Regal Princess.

In Norman’s words, “Savour this sensory experience as the wine and chocolate blend harmoniously on your palate.”
