DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Children and their charge from the nearby Kamloops Child Development Centre watch with great interest as the big earth-moving machines work on the McDonald Park spray park and wading pool in North Kamloops. The spray park/wading pool will replace the 58-year-old outdoor pool, which was demolished in April. The city is hoping to have the facility open by Canada Day.

Couple charged after crime spree Charges have been laid against a Saskatchewan couple accused of going on a crime spree last month that included thefts of lottery tickets and a spectacular crash on a downtown Kamloops street. Roderick Mervin Bailey and Jodi Marie Pechawis were arrested in Vernon on May 28 and are facing multiple charges. The day before, police allege, they were involved in a crash at Eighth Avenue and Columbia Street. A Suzuki travelling south on Eighth blew through a stop sign at Columbia, T-boning a westbound Hyundai SUV and injuring the two people inside — a man and woman who remain in hospital. The crash scene was serious enough to prompt drivers of passing vehicles to stop and offer help, including David Retzer, who left his Ford Focus running while he

rushed to the wrecked vehicles and called 911 on his cellphone. While he checked on the couple in the Hyundai, the suspects in the Suzuki stole his Focus and sped away south on Eighth Avenue, eluding police vehicles and a police helicopter. A day later, on Saturday, Vernon Mounties received a report of theft of lottery tickets from a store and were aware of the Kamloops file. Vernon officers found the suspects in the stolen Ford Focus and arrested them Prior to the crash, police were investigating Bailey, 43, and Pechawis, 34, for alleged theft of lottery tickets from various stores in Kamloops. In fact, shortly before the crash, a Kamloops Mountie found the suspect vehicle — a Suzuki with Saskatchewan licence plates — connected to the lottery thefts.

CHINESE RESTAURANT

It was unoccupied and parked on the North Shore. However, as the officer waited for a tow truck to remove the vehicle, the two suspects managed to get in the vehicle and drive away. Police say the officer called in the theft and told fellow officers the direction the Suzuki was heading. Shortly thereafter, the Suzuki was spotted on the South Shore by another Mountie, but police say a chase was not initiated due to traffic in the area. Bailey is facing four counts of theft, two each of possession of property obtained by crime, dangerous driving and failing to stop at an accident and a lone count of theft of a motor vehicle. Pechawis has been charged with three counts of theft and one of theft of a motor vehicle. Both are expected to appear in court later this month.

A motorcyclist was killed in a crash on the Coquihalla Highway south of Kamloops on Tuesday night. The motorcyclist was airlifted to Royal Inland Hospital in on following the 5:40 p.m. crash just south of the Inks Lake interchange, about 10 kilometres south of Kamloops. RCMP Sgt. Mike Pears said Mounties and paramedics were called to the crash site after a northbound motorcyclist travelling with two other motorcyclists left the highway and entered the centre median. The rider, a 61-year-old man, was unable to control the motorcycle and he crashed and was ejected from the bike. He was taken to Police Beat hospital via air ambulance. Pears said the trio on motorcycles were being followed by family members in a pickup truck. Cause of the crash is being investigated, but Pears said weather and road conditions at the time of the accident were good.

BRIEFS

Neighbourhood watch nabs suspected burglar

A 30-year-old man is facing multiple charges relating to a string of vehicle break-ins in a Sahali neighbourhood. Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said police were called at 6 a.m. on Tuesday after a neighbour spotted someone inside a vehicle. Officers arrived arrested a suspect. Shelkie said a search of the man turned up stolen items and drugs. The suspect will likely face charges of theft, possession of stolen property and possession of a controlled substance. “This is a great example of neighbours looking out for neighbours,” Shelkie said. “Police can’t be everywhere, so we rely on citizens calling us to let us know if something suspicious is happening in their area.”

A new committee that includes local politicians, big industry and environmental groups is hoping to get Kamloops thinking about its air quality. Formed last year, but publicly launching its work this week, the Kamloops Air Quality Roundtable aims to educate people about emissions that affect air quality in Kamloops, said Mike Simpson of the Fraser Basin Council, one of the group’s member organizations. Other members include the B.C. Ministry of Environment, Kamloops Moms for Clean Air, the City of Kamloops, local First Nations bands, as well as Domtar, Lafarge, New Gold and KGHM Ajax. Simpson said the group’s website, kamloopsairquality.ca, aims to provide residents with

a place to start learning about emissions. “The last couple years, there’s been a lot of controversy, with people claiming the air quality is terrible,” Simpson said. “We’ve just tried to put out the basic facts: what gets measured, why is it a concern to you, what are the health impacts, where does it come from and then also some ideas about what you can do to improve your air quality.” Simpson said the group will also allow members to share air-quality-related projects they are working on to avoid duplication, encourage partnerships and identify any gaps in how air quality is monitored in Kamloops. The group won’t be taking stances on any industrial projects that could impact the city’s airshed, such as the proposed Ajax mine, Simpson said, but will instead look at the

various ways air quality can be impacted. “Air-quality contaminates don’t just come from big industry. They come from all of us, whether it’s our driving habits, or any sort of combustion, even home heating,” Simpson said. “If you have a wood stove you’re contributing to air quality. “And the key education thing is our air quality is great most of the time, but sometimes it’s not so great. “Sometimes it’s things we can control, like when he have inversions and road dust in the winter, and some of those things are out of our control, like forest-fire smoke.” To help control pollution, Simpson recommends cutting down car trips by combining several errands into one trip, making upgrades to older windows and wood stoves and turning off parked vehicles instead of idling.

Hunter who nabbed child killer now in court CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Nicola Valley outdoorsman who tracked down triple child killer Allan Schoenborn after he evaded police for 10 days in the bush has been charged with several counts of illegal hunting. The trial for Kim Robinson, 59, began Tuesday in provincial court. The Crown alleges he targeted a bobcat without a special hunting licence and used cougar dogs to track the fleeing animal. Robinson is charged with three counts under the Wildlife Act, one of them for having an unrelated tag for a bear improperly marked.

Robinson gained national celebrity in the spring of 2008 when he recounted tracking down the frail and starving Schoenborn, who fled his home in Merritt after stabbing to death his three children: Kaitlynne, 10, Max, 8, and Cordon, 5. Following a trial, Schoenborn was found not criminally responsible on account of mental disorder. Robinson is a hunter and runs a trapline. Accompanied by his dog and carrying a rifle, he roamed roads and scanned ditches looking for Schoenborn. Robinson was portrayed in national media as a tough-talking, hard-core outdoorsman who took matters into his own hands. At trial Tuesday, conservation

officer Jonathan Paquin testified he checked on Robinson on Jan. 3, 2015, while on patrol. He said he saw Robinson in his truck on a road west of Merritt appearing to scan a field. In the background, Paquin said he could hear hounds baying in the distance. Paquin said Robinson yelled at him several times during the encounter. “He said he didn’t have time for this and was in a hurry,” Paquin testified, noting Robinson told him his cougar dogs were “on a bobcat.’” Crown prosecutor Catriona Elliott said Robinson told the conservation officer he was trapping and therefore didn’t need a special tag to hunt a bobcat.

But under regulation, she argued, dogs can’t be used on a trapline to chase. Dogs can only be used under

a hunting licence with the special tag — which Robinson didn’t have. The conservation officer said Robinson told him he was allowed use his dogs to trap an animal. “Mr. Robinson became angry and began to yell me,” Paquin said. “He alluded to case law and said he’s been down this road.” In 2001, Robinson was fined $3,900 by a provincial court judge for illegally selling black bear gall bladders to a conservation officer.

Gang leader’s girlfriend denied bail and will remain in jail The girlfriend of what the Crown alleges is a gang leader attempting to establish operations in Kamloops was refused bail Wednesday. Amanda Nicholson is facing 19 counts, including weapons offences and possession of stolen property, following an RCMP raid last month.

Details of the hearing in provincial court are under a publication ban. Provincial court judge Stella Frame ruled Nicholson will not be released on bail. Nicholson was arrested along with her boyfriend, Bruce Davis, and another man, Christopher Pace, following the raid. At an earlier bail hearing for Pace, a Crown

prosecutor said Davis, 37, is the leader of the local faction of the Wolf Pack, a Lower Mainland-based coalition of gangsters from the Hells Angels, Independent Soldiers and Red Scorpions. Davis is facing 18 drug- and firearmsrelated 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. The ruling on his bail application is set for today. The RCMP raid netted drugs, a small amount of cash and firearms, including some equipped with silencers.

If Kamloops agrees to allow backyard chickens at its Tuesday meeting, the Kamloops Food Policy Council says it’s ready to come to the plate for fundraising and education. Council director Bonnie Klohn said the group is offering to host fundraising events, apply for grants or set up educational presentations at the Kamloops Farmers’ Market and other community gatherings. The food policy council has been supportive of backyard hens since the city first looked at the idea several years ago, Klohn said. “It’s about creating a full food system in your backyard,” she said. “You can feed your food scraps to your hens and then they produce eggs, and you can use the chicken bedding to fertilize your

garden. It helps people to understand how these things work together instead of throwing things away and then buying things.” Klohn said backyard hen farmers in other cities also report the birds are natural conversation starters, which brings them closer to their neighbours. “They go from not knowing their neighbours at all to having people pop by and bring by egg cartons. People bring their kids over because they’re interested in seeing the chickens,” she said. City council will host a public hearing at 7 p.m. Tuesday at city hall to hear arguments on whether it should amend its animal-control bylaw to allow residents to raise two to five chickens on lots as small as 370 square meters. The policy proposed by city staff includes a voluntary chicken registry and calls for $10,000 in funds to train bylaw officers, build space to

safely impound chickens and education the public. Both items have been criticized by councillors who otherwise support allowing chickens. Coun. Donovan Cavers feels the city should have “as few barriers as possible” when it comes to chicken-rearing. Coun. Pat Wallace has argued allowing chickens on small lots could lead to issues, including loose birds roaming through neighbours’ yards. After speaking to organizations promoting hen ownership in other B.C. cities, Klohn feels providing education to those interested in keeping chickens should be enough to stave off many potential issues. “I remember talking to a bylaw officer in Victoria, where urban hens have been allowed forever, and they maybe get like one or two complaints a year,” she said.

Stone dismisses trade concerns DALE BASS

“I just thought that was absolutely wrong.” — Kamloops-South Thompson MLA

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

When city council rejected Save-On Foods’ request to sell B.C. wines in its Sahali store, it was “one of the least-proud moments for me from watching this council,” said Kamloops-South-Thompson MLA and Transportation Minister Todd Stone. “Let’s be fair, they have tough issues to deal with, but this one, I just thought that was absolutely wrong,” he said. As for comments from councillors Marg Spina and Denis Walsh that allowing grocery stores to sell BC Vintners Quality Alliance (VQA) wines could violate international trade agreements, Stone called the statements “simple nonsense.” Spina, Walsh and Fox ’N Hounds Pub owner Al Deacon have highlighted a letter sent to Premier Christy Clark from ambassadors to Canada representing the U.S., Mexico, Chile, Argentina, New Zealand, Australia and the European Union. The group claims legislation allowing grocery stores to sell only B.C. wine is not consistent with the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) or the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Similar concerns were raised in January 2015 by the Wine Institute, which represents more than 1,000 California wineries and associated businesses. It sent a letter to Clark, asking her to rescind or modify the legislation, arguing

Todd Stone on council’s decision

it violates chapter 11 of NAFTA. Stone said government lawyers and other ministerial staff “looked at all the trade obligations” of the province and the advice given consistently was the legislation does not violate GATT, NAFTA or the as-yet-unratified Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement. Stone said each has language that grandfathers the number of licences the province can issue to sell only VQA wines. That threshold, he said, has not been reached. Stone said seven grocery stores in the province now sell BC VQA wines, a number expected to grow to 14 by the end of July and could reach two dozen later this year. “But that’s a very small fraction of the number of retail outlets we can have,” Stone said. He added it is unfortunate some city councillors are listening to representatives of other countries “who are going to do

everything in their power to stir the pot and create doubt. “It’s their job to advocate for their own wine industries,” he said. “They have to represent their countries.” Stone referred to the first grocery store in the province to start selling BC VQA wines in April last year. Since then, he said, the Lower Mainland store has sold more than 50,000 bottles representing at least 90 labels — half of which he said were not available in any other retail outlet that sells wine — representing more than $3 million in sales. Being able to sell those wines, Stone said, gave B.C. vintners more shelf space and exposure than they might have had. As for the decision by a private Salmon Arm retail outlet to take Kamloops wines off its shelves, Stone called the decision short-sighted and urged the Hideaway Liquor Store to “tread lightly” and not penalize the four small wineries in the River City.

t is fitting Tax Freedom Day usually falls in mid-June. After all, it’s one of the saddest days of the year, so it makes an odd sort of sense it happens opposite the happiest time of the year — the Christmas holiday season. June 7, according to the Fraser Institute, was Tax Freedom Day in B.C. this year. That’s the day, they say, when you start working for yourself instead of the government. Taxes are, in reality, spread throughout the year. But if you had to pay all your taxes at once, from municipal on up to federal, every source of income you had coming in, up to June 7, would have been for governments only. We’re not certain whether this should be a day of celebration or one of lamentation over the level of taxes we pay. Though the day varies from year to year, it usually falls in early June. According to the Fraser Institute, that is the case across the country this year — Newfoundland and Labrador has the latest date, June 14, and only Alberta bucks the June trend with its Tax Freedom date on May 17, possibly due to the lack of a provincial sales tax. Around the world, Tax Freedom Day varies considerably and Canadians, with about 43 per cent of their income supporting government, sits in about the middle of the pack. The U.S. beats us by several weeks — April 24, (31 per cent) — while the Swiss are finished paying their taxes on Feb. 6 (16 per cent). And what does tiny Belgium do with the 60 per cent they claim from their people’s taxes? Pity the Belgians, who don’t get to celebrate Tax Freedom Day until August. Taxes are a necessary fixture of our lives; one of Benjamin Franklin’s most famous aphorisms is that nothing is certain in the world except death and taxes. But it would be nice, not to mention a financial relief, if our governments didn’t expect us to work for them for almost half the year.

Bits and bites from the week

e must be heading into summer as not too many big issues can fill this column’s space. So, here are some observations and snippets of subjects that are worth at least pondering for a few minutes. • It was great to see a video with former Kamloopsians Joe and Cory Teichman promoting the amazing small business they are involved with in their new home of Peterborough. Joe has always drawn inspiration from Cory, who has autism, and wanted to find a way for his son to have a job and learn some skills. The result is N’Able Bagel, which brings together several special-needs folks once a week to the big kitchen at the community synagogue, which Joe manages, to make honest-togoodness Montreal-style bagels. They make hundreds of them, selling to local establishments and using the revenue to keep the business running. It would be super to see a similar social enterprise develop here in Kamloops. • The Vancouver Public Library has introduced a wonderful new program, with 100 musical instruments available to be borrowed. The collection includes ukuleles, banjos and even the harp once used by the woman who recorded The Friendly Giant theme song. Sun Life Financial donated most of the collection and kicked in $130,000 to cover the cost of running the program. A partnership with Long and McQuade will ensure the instruments are cared for and cleaned. • We’re in the walk/run/golf

LEVEL fundraiser season, but there’s one event that is unfortunately becoming more relevant, given recent situations in the country. It’s the fifth anniversary of the Ride Don’t Hide bike fundraiser, an event sponsored by the Canadian Mental Health Association to fight the stigma of mental illness, a subject that continues to make headlines. About a 45-minute drive from my hometown in Ontario, five students have killed themselves this year and their peers, friends and fellow students took a dramatic step to highlight this. Recognizing a dead student is one empty desk, hundreds of them got up at an appointed time this week and walked out, leaving classrooms filled with empty desks. It used to be suicide was not something the media covered. I can’t help but wonder how much that helped to create the stigma of mental illness. The ride is on June 26 this year, starting at Centennial Park in Westsyde at 9 a.m., and heading along the Thompson River toward Riverside Park. On June 19 — Father’s Day — Shoppers’ Drug Mart, a ride

sponsor, is hosting a fundraising dinner at McCracken Pub in Valleyview. For information on it, call 250-374-0440. And for those who register that day to take part in the fundraiser, the fee drops by $5. For more information, go online to rideonthide.com/bc/ ride/kamloops. • Finally, as someone who criticizes our provincial government, it’s important to also praise it for doing good work. So here’s a big thanks to the government for reconsidering changes it planned to bring in on how it handles freedom-ofinformation requests. That might not seem like a big thing for most KTW readers, but as someone who files a lot of them, the idea the government had planned to post online when an FOI is filed and what it is seeking was a true chill on the concept of digging into stories and holding the government accountable. Many of my colleagues felt losing that edge — it will now not post anything for 30 days — would lead to less incentive to go digging for those stories readers might otherwise not get to read. One recent journey into the land of FOIs and secrecy led to Vancouver journalist Bob Mackin receiving a response from the province’s conflict of interest commissioner, Paul Fraser, in which he wrote simply the government would be ignoring all FOI requests from Mackin. That’s the kind of behaviour that makes it vital reporters do the kind of digging that involves pushing the government hard. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter.com/mdalebass

YOUR OPINION

LOCAL NEWS

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR UNETHICIAL ACTIONS IN POLITICS Editor: I read Kamloops This Week editor Christopher Foulds’ column of June 3 (‘The seedy side of donations’) with a skeptical eye. The practice of buying political favour needs to go, but the MLA for my riding, Todd Stone, really should have had a bit more training before he ran for office. It was not the optics that were the issue, but the fact it is corrupt. It is like someone saying it would have been OK if he had not been caught doing something that, if not illegal, is at least unethical. This will come back to bite Stone next May and adds to his long list of dubious actions, like ministry staff deleting emails, that make him unfit for office.

Wayne Smith Kamloops

YES, HEALTH CARE SYSTEM IS BROKEN Editor: Thanks so much for letter writer Marilyn Strilchuk’s opinion and for speaking out (‘Our health-care system is appalling,’ May 31). I agree totally and am so disgusted at what I experience and see others experience at walk-in clinics. It was a very cold day and people were sick, in pain and very much in need of a doctor — waiting outside to get to see one. How many of those people caught a cold or pneumonia? It’s so defeating and they end up in the ER with no doctor. I am one who caught a cold and what I witnessed was inhumane.

I have chronic ailments and pay $130 a month for MSP — and for what? This is a very tragic way of having to live as a patient. Where is our government? Where is our minister of health? Are they standing out in the cold waiting for a doctor? I bet not. Do they have to get more ill waiting in line for a walk-in that is full and having to be there before 7:30 a.m. to see a doctor? Thank God for the people at the front of the line for allowing a father with his very sick child to go in first. Bless their hearts. The entire lining up situation was ugly to witness and experience.

I do hope and pray this problem gets solved as far too many people are suffering dearly. We need to get more doctors and pay them well as walk-in clinics do not offer a compassionate environment. Passing the buck must stop and I am pleading with the minister of health to do something to help patients. We are being charged far too much for MSP. Where is the money going? There is no excuse for this as we are all paying dearly. Iris Strickland Kamloops

REWARDING CAREER BEGAN AT STUART WOOD Editor: I was born in 1941 and attended Stuart Wood elementary from Grade 1 to Grade 6. The Gottfriedson kids walked across the Red Bridge to attend Stuart Wood as Gus Gottfriedson did not want his kids to attend the residential school. They just joined us. Muriel Gottfriedson-Saskamoose is a special friend to this day. I remember Julie Crawford, who taught Grade 2. She played the piano for all special occasions. For May Day, she would play the piano on the back of a flatdeck truck in Riverside Park. The May Pole dance was a special event. I was awarded a scholarship when I graduated from Kam High in 1959.

I returned to Stuart Wood in the 1970s as the learning-assistance teacher. Principal Alice Robertson and I painted the broom closet that was under the stairs and it then became my classroom. We hung curtains, shelves and a blackboard. I was able to work with groups of four around the round table. It was a happy time for all of us and a lot of remedial work got done. I ended up teaching in school districts 24 and 73 for 30-plus years. It was a wonderful, rewarding career that started at Stuart Wood. It’s time to retire Stuart Wood and move on with the journey, as all of us do. Mary Ellen Patterson (nee Gamble) Kamloops

The Thompson Rivers University Faculty Association (TRUFA) has concerns about two agreements recently announced at the institution — and there is disagreement about whether the issues raised are being addressed. Baihua Chadwick, CEO of TRU World, said TRUFA president Tom Friedman needed only to ask her, deans or any other administrator about the plans to bring 20 graduates from a private Chinese education system and enrol them in bachelors of science and arts programs. Friedman, however, said he followed the protocol the union is to use with academic matters, raising it with the joint labour-management consultative committee on April 11. He said he did not receive a clear answer at that time and that the union is required to deal directly with the provost through this committee on academic matters. Friedman’s concern revolves around the details of the agreement between TRU and China Maple Leaf Education Systems (CMLES), where those 20 students will return to teach if they complete the degrees. “Are they getting preferential treatment?” he asked. “We need to make sure [enrolment] standards are met. We have no knowledge of any deals that may have been made.” Chadwick said the graduates will need to meet the same enrolment requirements of anyone who wants to obtain a science undergraduate degree. That program is open, she said, but there are still enrolment criteria to be met.

TRUFA also has concerns with a second agreement between the two longtime partners, one that will see a pilot program starting in September grow to be a secondary school and dormitory on campus. For at least the next three years, CMLES will operate the program in three rented rooms at the Old Main Building on campus, teaching grades 10 to 12 in a dual Chinese/B.C. curriculum. Each grade will have 20 students. A TRUFA member has raised concerns a university campus may not be the best environment for high school students. Chadwick said there are many other examples of it working well, including at the University of Toronto, Vancouver Island University and the University of Winnipeg. She said comments like those from Friedman could jeopardize the potential revenue-generating school — it would be built on leased TRU land — because they create a hostile environment. “I’m worried they won’t build” in such an environment, Chadwick said. The hope is construction would occur within three to five years, but there is an opt-out in the agreement based on the experience CMLES has during the pilot project. “This is good for the community. This is good for the economy,” Chadwick said. “It’s not mining, it’s education.” As for Friedman’s concerns a high school could add to what many on campus say are already drains on services — long lines at food concessions, for example — Chadwick noted the school will have its own cafeteria.

Pool tender going out WESTSYDE WITHOUT FACILITY FOR A YEAR ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

With a tight timeline to get the shuttered Westsyde Pool back in service, the City of Kamloops is narrowing down its list of potential contractors. Capital projects manager Darren Crundwell said a tender for the pool repairs, which will require a total replacement of the building’s roof, should be up by the end of the month. In the meantime,

the city is pre-screening contractors interested in the job. A request for qualifications, posted to BC Bid, gives those who want to bid on the work until tomorrow to submit references and credentials. Crundwell said assembling a shortlist of contractors isn’t an unusual process and can help the city make sure it’s selecting the best company for the job. “We can’t have any delays or challenges due to unknowns with respect to the

contractor because we have promised the public that it’s going to be open the beginning of January, so we’re just doing whatever we can to make sure that happens,” he said. The pool needs more than $3 million in repairs, after moisture from the swimming area leaked through the pool’s ceiling, penetrating the building’s vapour barrier. Westsyde has been without a swimming pool since June of last year.

SURF’S UP AT TRU DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

It all started with a student from Australia, a country where surfing is big business and a huge tourism draw. The student was passionate about it and talked often with Sharman Learie, an instructor in the adventure-tourism department at Thompson Rivers University. The student graduated, went home and started a business, but continued to talk with Learie about adding the sport as a component of the department at TRU. Learie began work on a proposal and then headed to surf central in B.C. — Tofino on Vancouver Island. The area has plenty of schools teaching how to ride the waves, but they were unregulated and there was no standard being followed by all of them, Learie said. A survey showed interest in standardization being created and the option for people to become certified instructors, so

[video online]

See adventure studies graduate Raphael BoudreaultSimard’s footage of students in the field at kamloopsthisweek. com/adventure/ Learie pushed on. He eventually created the program that saw 11 students spend time in April in the six-day course — half of it on campus learning the theory behind the sport, how to teach it and how to coach it, and the other half somewhere along the 35 kilometres of surfable beach, protected from the cool water by a wet suit, gloves and hood, cruising in on longboards. It’s a first for Canada, Learie said, and students must first take two levels of ocean surfing courses offered at TRU. They must also complete the first year of adventure tourism, one that is more generalist in

nature. The second year is when students can start to specialize and earn certification in various sports. Sean Brodie, a renowned instructor who works at the Surf Education Academy in San Diego, came up to lead the instruction. Learie also spent five years working with the International Surfing Association (ISA) and its Canadian counterpart , the Canadian Surfing Association (CSA) to develop the courses. The ISA is the global body that governs the sport and is the reason surfing will be part of the 2020 Olympic Summer Games in Tokyo. A bonus from the first course is that TRU instructors had to be trained on how to teach the course, along with some others connected to it, and they are all now ISA-certified trainers, a bonus for the CSA as it continues focusing on preparing for the Olympics in four years. The program is limited to a dozen students. For more information on the course, call 250371-5841 or email slearie@tru.ca.

The last waltz at the Pink Ribbon Ball was three years ago — but the legacy continues as money raised during that one night of dining and dancing has been used to improve mammography at Royal Inland Hospital. The technical names of the equipment that arrived in the tiny suite recently are breast biopsy machine and Faxitron. The reality is they will improve the way biopsies are done and provide a greater ability to diagnose cancers. Ideally, once the rapid-access breast health centre opens later this year, something RIH Foundation CEO Heidi Coleman said could occur by November, it will add to a continuum of care from mammogram to getting a diagnosis should cancer be suspected or detected. Dr. Vipal Vedd, head of the radiology department, took the crowd present for the unveiling of the equipment through

biopsy could either be done with a machine that required a needle to be inserted into the breast four times or, if the concern was greater, via an incision to remove the suspect material. The new machine inserts a needle once and, as it rotates 360 degrees, it can gather six samples, two more than the previous method. It can also be used to inject local anes-

thetic, if required, and to inject a titanium marker at the sample site to guide a surgeon, should that process be required to remove suspect tissue. The Faxitron allows for ultra-high imaging that can handle a broad range of samples. One of the best aspects of the new equipment, bought with the $125,000 raised at the last ball, is it can speed up the process from mammogram to knowing. “The worst part sometimes is the waiting,” said Kathryn Kuyzemchuk, a mammography technologist.

Jodi Shelkie said boaters should be thinking about marine safety and planning ahead. “Drinking and driving, whether on land or water, is illegal and punishable under the Criminal Code,” she said. “It is well known that drinking and taking to the water can lead to dangerous situations. “Operators are responsible for the safety of their guests and should consider other users of the waterway.” Shelkie urged boaters to drive slowly and know how to recover someone who has gone overboard.

Text messages led to identifying murder suspects TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A high school student and his ex-girlfriend became suspects in a murder staged to look like a drug deal gone bad three weeks after the violent slaying when police obtained authorization to intercept their text messages, a jury has been told. And, court heard, among the messages read by investigators were a number of “sexting” conversations between a teenaged girl now charged with murder and several different men in Canada and the U.S. Tyler Myers, 22, died after being shot three times in a Salmon Arm schoolyard on Nov. 21, 2008, in what has been described in court as a love triangle turned deadly. One of the high school students accused of first-degree murder in relation to the killing, now a 24-year-old man, is standing trial in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops. His co-accused, now a 25-year-old woman, has not yet had a date set for her trial. Under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, neither accused can be named because they were under 18 at the time of Myers’ death. Both were arrested in December 2012, at the conclusion of an elaborate RCMP Mr. Big undercover operation. Jurors have been told that both Myers and the accused male were involved romantically with the accused female. Crown prosecutor Bill Hilderman said the teenaged couple hatched a plan to borrow a rifle from a friend and invite Myers for an evening meeting in the schoolyard of Bastion elementary. In the schoolyard, Hilderman said, the accused male hid with the gun in a wooded area. He said the accused female then left Myers alone for a brief time pretending to go to the washroom, leaving the accused male a clear shot at the

victim’s back. The bullet knocked Myers to the ground, court heard, and the accused male approached him and fired two more shots — one into his back and one into his head — at the urging of the

accused woman. The doctor who performed Myers’ autopsy said two of the three shots would have been fatal — one to the heart, causing “catastrophic blood loss.” Both accused were interviewed in the

days after Myers death and both denied any involvement. In court yesterday, jurors were shown an hour-long video of the accused male’s interview with police two days after the murder. The video showed

the accused male, a soft-spoken and polite young man on tape, speaking with an RCMP detective in a nondescript interview room at the Salmon Arm detachment. He described the accused female as his

best friend since Grade 7 and said they had dated previously, but broke up two months before Myers was killed. The accused told police he was at home the night of the murder, specifically mentioning having watched a

He described Myers as a low-level drug dealer and suggested he might have been killed over a drug debt. In court, retired RCMP Sgt. Gordon Geary said the murder initially appeared to have been drug-related. “There were certain indications that it could have been drug activity,” he said. “We were looking into that.” But, Geary said, the investigation’s direction changed on Dec. 11, 2008, when police received authorization to intercept text messages of both teenaged suspects. None of the text messages were read in court, but Geary said their contents made both the male and female accused suspects in the death. In her cross-examination of Geary,

defence lawyer Donna Turko painted the accused female as a manipulative young woman. Turko said the accused female began dating one of Myers’ friends in the days that followed his death. In addition, she said, intercepted text messages showed multiple sexual conversations between the accused female and different men, some from outside of Canada. “She had a number of men or boys on the go in terms of her sexual appetite,” Turko said, mentioning something she called “the California connection,” referencing two men in the U.S. who had been texting with the accused female. “There was some discussion that she was going to go down there and have sex with one or both of them. It was more than you’d expect to see from a 17-year-

old girl.” Geary agreed that some of the texts were sexual in nature. “I was aware that there was some sexting going on,” he said. Following Geary’s evidence, which wrapped up yesterday, the Crown will begin calling Mr. Big RCMP witnesses. Jurors have been told undercover Mounties posing as gangsters convinced the accused female to confess by telling her a terminally ill member of their criminal organization would take the fall, leaving her free of suspicion. Court heard part of the undercover operation included taking the accused female on a trip to Vancouver for a Madonna concert. The trial, which began on Monday, is expected to last about one month.

$8M for man wrongfully imprisoned for 27 years GEORDON OMAND

THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — A man who was wrongfully convicted on sexual assault charges has been awarded more than $8 million by a B.C. court after spending nearly 27 years behind bars. In a 130-page ruling released yesterday, Chief Justice Christopher Hinkson of the B.C. Supreme Court criticized the Crown’s decision to withhold key evidence that he said Ivan Henry was entitled to receive. The judge said it demonstrated a “shocking disregard’’ for Henry’s charter rights. Henry, 69, sued the City of Vancouver, the province and the federal government after being acquitted in 2010 of 10 sexual assault convictions. “Crown counsel’s wrongful non-disclosure seriously infringed Mr. Henry’s right to a fair trial,’’ Hinkson wrote in his decision. “If Mr. Henry had received the disclosure to which he was entitled, the likely result would have been his acquittal at his 1983 trial . . . and certainly the avoidance of his sentencing as dangerous offender.’’ The judge outlined a series of police notes, reports, lab information, interviews, witness statements and Vancouver Police property and exhibits that wasn’t disclosed to Henry before or during his trial. The Crown also didn’t tell Henry or his lawyer a police detective believed one of the victims had been assaulted by a different person, the decision states. The judge said material information and evidence was intentionally withheld and that the Crown knew or ought to have known this would compromise Henry’s ability to defend himself. Crown prosecutor John Hunter argued Henry’s decision to rebuff legal counsel meant he wouldn’t have

known what to do with the additional evidence even if it had been provided to him, despite his repeated requests. Hinkson rejected Hunter’s argument that awarding Henry millions of dollars in compensation would send the wrong message by reinforcing the notion that a lucrative payday could await self-represented defendants if their cases go awry. “The fact that Mr. Henry was selfrepresented at trial heightened rather than diminished the responsibility of the Crown to provide him with the disclosure he had a right to receive in order to make full answer and defence,’’ Hinkson said. Henry’s lawyer, John Laxton, argued his client deserved as much as $43 million in compensation. Henry’s daughter, Tanya Olivares, declined comment on her and her father’s behalf. The ruling orders the provincial government to pay Henry $530,000 for lost earnings, $56,700 in special damages and $7.5 million for “vindication and deterrence’’ when it came to Henry’s charter rights being violated. The award is in addition to undisclosed settlements reached last year with the City of Vancouver and the federal government. Hinkson also ruled any contributory negligence over investigative failures made by Vancouver Police is negated by the Crown neglecting to disclose much of its evidence. B.C. Attorney General Suzanne Anton said the justice ministry will review the decision in the weeks ahead. “It is important to recognize that Canadian law on disclosure has undergone significant developments since Mr. Henry’s criminal trial,’’ she said in a statement. “The legal obligations for police and prosecutors in making disclosure to the defence are now much more robust and clearly defined.’’

CANADIANS WRONGLY CONVICTED Here is a list of some other Canadians exonerated or acquitted: • David Milgaard: Spent more than two decades behind bars after he was wrongfully convicted of the 1969 murder of a Saskatoon nursing aide. He was released in 1992, and received $10 million from the Saskatchewan government in 1999. • Steven Truscott: Convicted of the rape and murder of a classmate when he was just 14, Truscott was the youngest Canadian to ever face a death sentence. He spent 10 years in prison before he was acquitted by the Ontario Court of Appeal in 1959. The Ontario government said in 2008 it would pay Truscott $6.5 million for suffering a “miscarriage of justice.’’

• Guy Paul Morin: Received $1.25 million and a public apology after he was acquitted of the 1984 sex slaying of his nine-year-old neighbour, Christine Jessop in Queensville, Ont. The Ontario Court of Appeal cleared Morin on the basis of new DNA evidence in 1995. • William Mullins Johnson: Former forensic pathologist Charles Smith’s serious errors and conclusions on the autopsies of children set off numerous wrongful murder and manslaughter convictions, including Mullins Johnson. He spent 12 years in prison after he was convicted of sodomizing and suffocating his four-year-old niece. The Ontario government later compensated the families affected by Smith’s mistakes.

ne of my favourite trails in Jasper is the one along Medicine Lake. This geologic anomaly is not actually a lake, but rather an area in which the Maligne River (flowing from Maligne Lake into the Athabasca River) backs up and suddenly disappears underground. During the summer months, the intensified melt-water runoff fills the river faster than it can drain, creating a lake that acts as a temporary holding tank. In the 1970s, researchers used a biodegradable dye to determine the underground river’s extent. The dye showed up in many lakes and rivers, proving the underground system one of the most

oug Smith prefers exploring by foot. Mountain bikers and ATVers are limited to roads and tracks, but for hikers, it’s simpler. “We can quietly go onto attractive land,” Smith said.

He’s respectful of private property, however, getting permission to access land owned by ranchers

or First Nations. During a recent hike to the Neskonlith meadows, for exam-

ple, he obtained permission from the band. Those types of hurdles make maintaining an archive of local hiking trails tricky. Smith started kamloopstrails. net seven years ago when he found limited information on trails in the area. The non-commercial venture has become his hobby. “I started the site basically to share the areas that I was exploring,” Smith said. Today, the website has more than 1,000 articles and gets an

average of 500 visits per day. It features posts on hiking, biking, snowshoeing and paddling. Smith spends four days a week year-round in the outdoors, but insists he does other things, too. That list includes photography — something he also does outside, snapping photos of wildflowers while exploring. “I’m retired, so I can do all of that,” he said. Smith’s career was spent as a school principal, but he was also general manager of the 2011 Western Canada Summer Games

and is involved in the Mountain Club Federation of B.C. Smith has been exploring the area since 1976. He knows 100 kilometres in every direction of Kamloops and tries not to return to any one area for at least a year. “I’ve covered a lot of terrain,” Smith said. “I’m hoping to keep it up for as long as I’m vertical.”

Q & A

Hike Kamloops blog started as school project While not as extensive as kamloopstrails.net, user-friendly site has local routes of varying difficulties, durations WHO RUNS HIKEKAMLOOPS.CA? Jordan Fraser, a 23-year-old Thompson Rivers University marketing student. WHEN DID YOU START IT AND WHY? It originally started as a project for my e-commerce course at TRU. I had just returned from a summer of hiking and working in Waterton Lakes National Park where I became hooked on hiking. The assignment was to design a blog and promote it. I received very positive reviews from everyone who saw the site. After the course, I completely redesigned it and launched it May 1 of last year. So I guess we just passed our first anniversary. HOW MANY HIKES HAVE YOU DONE? Hike Kamloops has more than 40 hikes in and around Kamloops. Personally, I’ve done a lot of hiking. I grew up in Kamloops. WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE? WHY? My favourite areas are anywhere with lots of trees and water. Lac le Jeune or Jamieson Creek areas are at the top of my list. I appreciate the shade from the trees in these areas, especially during hot Kamloops summers. BEST HIKES FOR A BEGINNER? Tower Trail in Kenna Cartwright Park (great view, too), Battle Bluff, Rivers Trail out at Aviation Way, Tranquille River, McConnel Lake Loop (a favourite) and Isobel Lake.

BEST MORE ADVANCED HIKES? Mt. Use (another favourite with amazing views), Savona Caves, Enderby Cliffs, Dewdrop Trail, Emblazon Mountain and Skoatl Point. BEST VIEWPOINTS? Mt. Buse is No. 1 in our books. Kenna Cartwright — so many trails with great lookouts, but our favourites are the Sunset and Tower trails. Battle Bluff, Gibraltar Rock, Pimple, Emblazon, Enderby Cliffs, Skoatl Point and White Lake lookout. BEST COOL SUMMER HIKES, WITH WATER NEARBY? Tranquille River, Upper Peterson Creek, McConnell Lake Loop, Gibraltar Rock, Isobel Lake and Upper Flume Trail. ANY TIPS FOR HIKERS? Drink lots of water before heading out. It’s important to stay hydrated. Never wear brand new hiking shoes on long first hikes. Also, have fun. ANYTHING ELSE WE SHOULD KNOW? Our website features summer hikes, but we’re working on winter snowshoeing trails, too. One of the coolest features on the website is the map page, where each trailhead can be found on Google Maps. We’re also on Facebook and Instagram, so follow along to stay up to date on our most recent adventures.

PACK THE 10 ESSENTIALS When it comes to hiking, Smith likes the geography, natural history, small groups, quiet and time away from the city. With the sun out, his website will likely see a spike in visitors and, for those perusing his site this summer, Smith has some advice. When exploring, he carries a full backpack complete with a firstaid kit, antihistamines, bear spray, headlamp, rain coat and more. He recommends referencing the “10 essentials”, a checklist for back-country excursions that also includes a map/ compass, sunglasses/ sunscreen, matches, knife and extra food and water. Smith also advises beginners to start small. “People think they can jump into longer, harder hikes right away,” he said. “Build up your endurance over time.” His favourite area

to hike is the Lac du Bois grasslands. “You can hike those trails from February right through the first of December,” Smith said. “There’s so many different elevations. You can always find a place to hike.” Designated trail heads are ideal for beginners, he said, including Kenna Cartwright Park, Valleyview Nature Park and Pineview Valley. For a more advanced path, he heads back to Lac du Bois. It’s about 2,000 feet up to the red plateau escarpment. There’s no signage, but the trail goes along the rim for many kilometres. It’s a rugged hike, Smith said — hot on summer days, with bears and rattlesnakes making the odd appearance. “But it’s an outstanding hike,” he said. “That would be a good challenging one for anybody.” For more, go online to kamloopstrails.net.

The foundation is a not-for-profit organization and 84 cents of every dollar raised is donated to cancer research. Community involvement is needed to maintain the level of donations the event contributes toward cancer research. Those interested can email hamed.amiri@ terryfoxrun.org.

Elder Abuse: An Epidemic on the Rise By Jennie Deneka Elder abuse in Canada is becoming a growing epidemic that is threatening the safety and security of more seniors every year. The most comprehensive Canadian study to date, the National Survey on Abuse of the Elderly in Canada: The Ryerson Study, found that close to 100,000 seniors living in private dwellings across Canada experienced some type of abuse. Given Canada’s population is getting increasingly older (eight million Canadians will be over the age of 65 by 2031) the number of seniors vulnerable to abuse and fraud is expected to grow. With this staggering statistic, it’s crucial that not only those directly affected, but also our holistic society, begin to take accountability and take proactive measures to ensure a level of safety and security for our aging demographic. Elder abuse affects seniors from all walks of life, and is prevalent in communities across Canada – not just in BC. There are many different forms of abuse to be aware of: • Financial Abuse – this exploitation is defined as the illegal or improper use of an elder’s funds, property or assets. In certain situations, this may result in an abuser coercing an elder to sign-over a will, giving the abuser guardianship/ power of attorney, or providing predators with confidential banking information. This is most commonly seen with spam emails or the request for personal information related to a lottery windfall. • Psychological / Emotional Abuse – this is defined as the infliction of anguish or distress through verbal and nonverbal acts. Signs of emotional/ psychological abuse include being with-

drawn, non-communicative, and being emotionally upset and agitated. This often leads to depression and additional isolation. • Physical Abuse – this abuse is defined as the use of physical force that may result in bodily injury, physical pain or impairment. This harm can include shaking, pushing and slapping or much more serious abuse. • Neglect – this is defined as the refusal or failure to fulfill any part of a person’s obligations or duties to an elder. Neglect can result in unsanitary living conditions, poor personal hygiene and malnutrition. While these forms of abuse do exist, there are proactive measures that both elders and their family members can take to reduce the risk that they fall victim to elder abuse. If you’re bringing strangers into the home to provide care, cleaning or other services, do ample research to ensure their credibility. Ensure individuals are properly licenced, fully trained and certified and come with recent references from other seniors and/or their families that live in the same community that you do. Lastly be sure to request a criminal record check and a vulnerable sector check prior to inviting strangers into the homes of our seniors. Pertinent information like bank account and card numbers, and social insurance

numbers should remain confidential. If home care providers or visitors request this information, seniors should pause the process in order to double check the authenticity of the request. When possible, financial transactions should only be carried out by the senior or close family member. Most importantly, report all incidents of suspected abuse. In many cases, research shows that seniors are often too scared or embarrassed to report abuse. This leads to continuation and often escalation of abuse for individuals. If you or someone you know does fall victim to elder abuse, there are immediate actions that can be taken. In British Columbia, there is a designated ‘Seniors Abuse and Information Line’ that is run by the BC Centre for Elder Advocacy and Support. The number (toll-free: 1 866 437 1940) is a safe and confidential place to find support, information, and ultimately take action if required.

Local scouts honoured with awards Four Kamloops Venturer Scouts were among 70 youth to receive the prestigious Queen’s Venturer Award. It was presented in April at Government House in Victoria by Judith Guichon, lieutenant-governor of B.C. and Provincial Patron of Scouts Canada. The four young men are members of the Couteau Venturer Scout Company and have been working toward this award for the past three years. They follow in the footsteps of the 10 Venturers who achieved this award last year. The Queen’s Venturer Award is presented to Venturers

who have acquired competence and skills that will be of use to themselves, their company and their community. Venturers will also have been recognized by the company, the advisor and Scouts Canada as being worthy of receiving the award. The award signifies a Venturer has, in the opinion of those who know the Venturer, both the character and ability to be of significant help to other people. The award consists of a cloth emblem, a parchment certificate signed by the governor-general and is considered a course credit toward graduation.

Household pickups to help diabetes research Clothesline has expanded in Kamloops, adding pickup to its drop-off bins in town. Clothesline is a program that picks up used clothing and small household items, which are then sold, with all the proceeds going to the Canadian Diabetes Association. Household pickups are free and can be arranged by calling 1-800-505-5525 or by going online to diabetes.ca/clothesline. Kamloops residents can also go online to diabetes.ca/dropbox to find the location of their nearest clothing donation box. In Canada, diabetes has reached epidemic proportions — with

an estimated 11-million people living with diabetes or prediabetes. Another Canadian is diagnosed with diabetes every three minutes. Diabetes increases a person’s risk for many serious complications, including heart attack, stroke, kidney failure leading to dialysis and blindness. “It is important to us that we not only raise funds for diabetes, but that we do so in a way that makes a positive difference to the environment by diverting items from our landfills,” said Ed Laverock, operations manager for Kamloops Clothesline. Proceeds raised

from Clothesline help the Canadian Diabetes Association send more than 2,400 children and youth with type 1 diabetes to the CDA’s D-Camps, summer and family camps offered across Canada where kids meet and are inspired by each other to manage their diabetes well in a medically supervised setting. Additionally, funds raised have helped the Canadian Diabetes Association fund $130 million over the last 40

About diabetes

The main types of diabetes are: Type 1 occurs when the body is unable to produce insulin, a hormone that controls the level of sugar in the blood. The cause of type 1 diabetes is unknown and it is not preventable. It most common-

It usually develops in adulthood, although more children and adolescents are being diagnosed. It is found in approximately 90 per cent of Canadians living with diabetes. Prediabetes occurs when an individual’s blood sugar levels are elevated, but not yet high enough to be type 2 diabetes. About half of those with prediabetes will develop type 2 diabetes.

Donuts brought in major dough This year’s Tim Hortons Camp Day raised $12.6 million for the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation. The June 1 event, the 25th annual, raised money via coffee sales at participating Tim Hortons restaurants, along with Camp Day bracelet sales and donations from guests and restaurant owners. All proceeds will go to sending kids from lowincome families to one of seven camps across North America this year. In the past 25 years, more than $162 million has been raised — including proceeds from this year — to send more than 237,000 kids to camp.

Ford improves Escape heading into 2017 KEITH MORGAN

SPECIAL TO KTW

drivewaycanada.ca

he invite to take the 2017 Ford Escape on a 230-kilometre springtime jaunt along Icefields Parkway was irresistible. Towering majestic mountains, glistening glaciers and possible roadside grizzly encounters — the latter viewed from the safety of Ford’s topselling crossover — was a tempting way to put a welcome end to a dingy winter. If your correspondent had joined the first wave of journos from across the country to do the drive, you would be viewing shots of all the aforementioned natural beauty among pictures of a gleaming Escape and reading words rhapsodizing the glorious route across breathtaking terrain. Instead, the forecast for this review features scattered showers, hail, sleet and a lot of snow. Despite the ugly weather, the 2017 Ford Escape had much to distract yours truly in the way of technology and driveability. Crossovers are hot in the Great White

More than 700,000 Canadians bought crossover vehicles last year, such as the Escape. The vehicle is Ford’s top-selling crossover.

North (sorry, that was irresistible). The Ford folks told us in the pre-drive briefing that more than 700,000 Canadians bought crossover-style vehicles last year. What’s more, these vehicles that mimic sport utility vehicles to a degree and provide the comfort of the trusty old

family sedan now account for around one third of all sales in North America. The landscape has changed dramatically since the first Escape appeared at the turn of the millennium in 2001. Then there was little competition but now there are more than 20 vying for the

attention of prospective buyers. Moreover, expect many more to debut during the next few years as some manufacturers are convinced they are the future from which there will be no return. In fact, some are bravely predicting sedans will be dramatically reduced by

some manufacturer lineups. The Escape has been merely refreshed in its appearance for 2017 but its myriad improvements under the skin are what make it worthy of closer analysis. The visual refresh includes the introduction of an aluminum hood and a front that

now more closely resembles the lines of its larger crossover siblings. The tailgate is reshaped and features rear LED lights. The cabin is improved in fit and finish and the seating more adjustable and comfortable on a journey. The removal of

the handbrake and its replacement by an electronic push button parking brake makes for more space up front. Today, people are enamoured with technology and this is an area Ford has paid significant attention. See CROSSOVER, A24

EcoBoost engines are now available, one is a 1.5-litre, 170 horsepower powerplant and the second is a twinscroll turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder, which pumps out 245 horses. Each engine has auto start/stop, which Ford says improves fuel economy by up to six per cent of the predecessor engines. When this technology was introduced a few short years ago, this observer was a skeptic — but careful monitoring in a variety of different manufacturers’ similarly equipped products show promises of better fuel economy are not idle boasts. Frankly, they were also clunky in operation at first but are now dramatically smoother. The three engines are all matched to the same six-speed auto transmission and paddle shifters are available on the top-end models. The Escape will not turn owners into offroaders overnight, nor should drivers think they could scale tall mountains. The all-wheel drive configuration will, however, cope wonderfully with most of what Canadian winters throw at us on our highways. Only the higher level trims were available at the launch but we should get access to the based model later this summer. The two-litre engine was responsive, smooth and quiet. The AWD version consumes gas at the rate of 11.5/8.7 L/100 km (city/hwy). The 1.5-litre version is better suited to the city dweller. Not surprisingly, it is less responsive but delivers a level of performance that will satisfy most folks. Fuel consumption is rated at 10.7/8.3 L/100 (city/ hwy). The base, frontwheel-drive Escape S starts at $25,099, the FWD SE costs $27,599, add AWD and it jumps to $29,799. The FWD Titanium is $33,799, and the AWD, $35,999.

‘Big moment’ arrives KAMLOOPS KIDS SET FOR PROVINCIAL HIGH SCHOOL RODEO FINALS MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

harging toward the unlucky goat, Coralee Mitchell races the clock, her galloping horse churning up dirt as she runs down her future. She thinks only of the here and now, though, and that goat, and tying its legs, as sweat falls down toward her beast’s mane, the seconds ticking away. For the most serious cowboys and cowgirls, the B.C. High School Rodeo Association Finals represent an opportunity to reach the national finals, where the real scholarship opportunities can be wrangled. “From what I’ve heard from friends who have gone down south, it’s an incredible experience,” said Coralee, who would be in Grade 12 at Valleyview secondary this semester if she hadn’t graduated early. “It’s priceless. We can apply for so many scholarships through B.C. High School Rodeo but, if you make it down to nationals, there are so many more that are offered and available.” The top 12 competitors in each event from the BCHSRA southern and northern regions qualified for the provincial finals, which run from tomorrow to Sunday at the Alex Fraser Park Exhibition Grounds in Quesnel. For the girls, the top four performers in barrel racing, pole bending, goat tying, team roping, breakaway roping, cutting and reined cow horse will earn berths at the National High School Rodeo Association (NHSRA) Finals, which run from July 17 to July 23 in Gillette, Wyo. The top four boys in bronc riding, bareback riding, team roping, calf roping, steer wres-

Coralee Mitchell, Sophie Hirshmiller, Owen Perry, Samantha Kerr, Hanna Strate, Mackenzie Payton and Abbey Bachand will be among the Kamloops-and-area contingent competing this weekend at the B.C. High School Rodeo Association Finals in Quesnel. Berths at nationals in Wyoming will be up for grabs.

tling, cutting and reined cow horse will also advance to nationals, with more than 1,500 cowboys and cowgirls from the U.S., Canada and Australia expected to attend. Samantha Kerr, student president of the BCHSRA south region and last year’s all-around provincial cowgirl, doesn’t have to look far to see what’s on offer to top-tier performers. Her elder sister, Rachel, all-around provincial cowgirl in her Grade 11 and 12 years,

went onto nationals and will be attending Montana State University starting this fall on a full-ride rodeo scholarship. “It all depends on how you perform,” said Sam, who last year was student president of the NHSRA, the highest possible position for a North American student officer. “Most of the scouts are going to be at nationals. If you go to school in rodeo, it’s going to be in the States. I’ve been talking to coaches down south and there’s

definitely schools interested. I haven’t made any decisions yet, but that’s the goal.” Sam is looking to match her sister by winning all-around provincial cowgirl for a second straight year. “Rachel is my biggest competitor and my biggest supporter,” Sam said. “She just got home from college and she’s been out practising with me.” The elder Kerr sister’s best finish at nationals was a bronzemedal victory in cutting, while

Sam’s greatest achievement thus far was winning a go-round in pole bending, both incredible feats when considering the elite international competition. Coralee had an outstanding season and qualified to compete this weekend in pole bending, barrel racing and goat tying, the latter being her strongest event. Sam qualified to enter the barrel racing, pole bending, goat tying, breakaway roping and team roping events. Three go-rounds, one each tonight, Saturday and Sunday, will contribute to overall scores. Ranking among the top four in any event means booking a ticket to Gillette. “There’ll be a feeling of nerves, but I tend to get very excited,” Coralee said. “It’s fast, it’s athletic and it’s an adrenaline rush, but I’ve prepared well and I think I’ll be OK.” Competition is but one aspect of the provincial finals. For the graduating athletes, it’s an emotional sendoff, the culmination of years of hard work — and it’s a party. “We’ve all grown up together,” Sam said. “We’ll get together with some of the north kids, have our grad ceremony and there’s a dance.” “We’ll all dress up in our dresses and it’s the last night of high school rodeo,” added Coralee. Scholarship interviews will be held tonight, with the BCHSRA known to give out more than $20,000 to students. Girls will vie for the Queen position, undergoing a written test and examinations in modelling, horsemanship and speech, aiming to represent the province at nationals. “We’ve worked all year to get here,” Sam said. “This is the big moment.”

MAKING AN IMPRESSION MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Not good, but great. That’s how B.C. Lions’ starting quarterback Jonathon Jennings described Derek Yachison’s work at training camp, which wraps up next week at Hillside Stadium. It didn’t sound like lip service or pandering to local media. The pivot considers the former Kamloops Bronco a standout performer. “We kind of joke about it,” Jennings said. “He’s the far-side receiver and he’s been catching more balls than anybody. He has to be one of the leading receivers right now during camp.” It’s been an uphill climb for Yachison, an undersized 23-year-old Canadian receiver who entered camp, his third straight with the Leos, knowing his CFL life is on the line. He survived rookie camp, proving he was as good or better than a pair of recent draft picks, and has managed to string together a series of strong practices at main camp. “I’ve gotten a lot of good feedback and I’ve put a lot of good stuff on tape that I haven’t done the last couple years,” said Yachison, the intelligent route runner from Winnipeg. The next step, seemingly the most important of his young professional career, was meant to be the Lions’ pre-season game against the Roughriders in Regina on Saturday. But it wouldn’t be a great story without a little bit of adversity, as if the BC Football Conference standout needed any more mountains to climb. Yachison was involved in a collision at camp on Tuesday and crashed hard into the turf, a tumble that led to swelling in his knees. He’s questionable for Saturday’s game, which would mark his first CFL preseason appearance. “As far as I know, I think they’re resting a lot of the veterans, so this would be a good

Soaring temperatures made for hot practices last week at B.C. Lions’ training camp at Hillside Stadium. Derek Yachison is among those feeling the heat in the race for roster spots with the Leos.

game to get in the extra reps,” said Yachison, who is receiving treatment three times a day and taking anti-inflammatories. “It would be a good thing to show what you can do in the game situation. As soon as the swelling is gone, I’m good to go.” Chris Rainey, a strong candidate to start the season first on the running back depth chart, interrupted an interview — “He’s a beast,” he said, pointing to Yachison. No. 71 managed a smile before answering a question about his relationship with Jennings and the chemistry developing between the QB-receiver tandem. “They try to get a lot of the young guys reps with the first team,” Yachison said. “Luckily, when I was 100 per cent healthy, I got my reps in right away. I was rolling out there with the first guys. I had a lot of catches and was doing

a lot of good things. “Me and him [Jennings] came in the same time last year. He gave me a lot of good passes.” Yachison is in the dark when it comes to his future with the team. If he were to be cut, he could look for work elsewhere in the CFL or take advantage of two years worth of Canadian Interuniversity Sports (CIS) eligibility. Should management decide to place him on the practice roster, Yachison would have a decision to make by Aug. 15 — remain with the Lions and lose the CIS eligibility or play university ball. “As we get past this game and into next week, things will become more clear,” Yachison said. Import receiver Lavelle Hawkins left the team to pursue a firefighting job, leaving one less name on the

receivers’ depth chart. “Yach has been making plays out there and, this year, he’s made a name for himself,” Jennings said. “He’s disciplined. Coach tells him to do something the right way, he does it that way. “He might make a mistake, but we get to film and they might say, “Make sure you’re going 16 not 15,’ and that next session, he’s going 16 yards.” Going that extra yard might just land Yachison a spot on the active roster. “This will be a good year for him because I think he finally gets a chance to show us what he can do,” offensive co-ordinator Khari Jones said. “He’ll most likely get some time in the pre-season. “I like Yachison a lot, not only as a player, but as a person.

SAN JOSE — Nine different players have scored for the Pittsburgh Penguins in the Stanley Cup final, and Sidney Crosby doesn’t even crack the list. The fact that the Penguins have raced out to a 3-1 series lead over the San Jose Sharks without a single goal from their superstar captain is a testament to their depth. Contributions from every part of the lineup have Pittsburgh on the verge of winning their fourth Stanley Cup and first since 2009. “It has been key,’’ said winger Bryan Rust, “because there’s been nights where it was pretty much pick a name out of a hat and that guy’s gonna step up and he’s going to have a big game.’’ Fourteen players have scored at least two goals for the club during the playoffs. Ten players have scored at least four, including rookies Rust (six goals) and Conor Sheary, who’s scored twice in the final. Though Crosby has been a force at times in the playoffs, it has been Phil Kessel leading the charge offensively. The 28-yearold set up a pair of goals in Game

4 and leads the Penguins with 10 goals and 21 points this spring. “Obviously you don’t get many chances like this so you need to try to be at your best,’’ he said after practice yesterday. His speedy line, which includes Carl Hagelin (15 playoff points) and Nick Bonino (17 points), has turned Pittsburgh into a dangerous three-pronged attack. Contain Crosby’s unit somehow and there’s Evgeni Malkin’s line to contend with. Contain that group and Kessel is looming as a threat. The dynamic has created matchup issues for opponents all spring. The Penguins fourth line has also contributed, including Eric Fehr’s third goal in Monday’s 3-1 win. “We’ve shown that all four of our lines can score and be dangerous,’’ defenceman Brian Dumoulin said. “It’s tough to match up with.’’ The Sharks have employed their top pairing of Marc-Edouard Vlasic and Justin Braun to neutralize Crosby, effective to some degree with home-ice advantage in San Jose. But that leaves either Kessel or Malkin to roam free against the Sharks third pairing of Roman

Polak and Brenden Dillon. The Sharks opted to use that duo against Malkin, who had a goal and assist in Game 4. Pittsburgh defencemen have also chipped in with goals from Ben Lovejoy and Ian Cole, the latter scoring his first of the post-season Monday night. But it’s Pittsburgh’s defensive play without top-four defender Trevor Daley that’s been most indicative of their depth on the blue line. Pittsburgh’s advantage has come from its speedy attack, both in terms of their foot speed and how quickly they move the puck. Much of the series has been spent in the Sharks’ zone, and the Penguins have the puck possession advantage so far. Top Sharks weapons Joe Pavelski (zero points) and Joe Thornton have been mostly neutralized, while Brent Burns, he of 27 goals and 75 points during the regular season, has only a pair of Game 1 assists. “I think our support group has to take a little bit of pressure off them,’’ Sharks coach Pete DeBoer said. “We got a goal from Melker Karlsson [Monday] night. We got to find a way to get some from some other people, too.’’

Warts and all, France will be tested by Euro 2016 JOHN LEICESTER

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PARIS — As with all modern sporting mega-events and their hosts, Euro 2016 will be a mirror for contemporary France: The reflection could be beautiful, ugly, or most likely a mix of both. Befitting the world’s sixthlargest economy, the bricks and mortar for a successful tournament have been ready for months. New, refurbished or already magnificent stadiums in nine host cities stand as advertisements for French engineering and savoir faire. The same is true of the highspeed rail network and crosscountry web of “autoroute” highways that should make it a breeze for fans to travel to the 51 matches, soaking up the natural beauty in between. No more sleeping rough on airport floors for overpriced red-eye flights like in World Cup hosts Brazil in 2014 and South Africa in 2010, and Euro 2012 co-hosts Poland and Ukraine. Indeed, these relatively compact Euros will be the last fan-friendly soccer tournament for a while. The 2018 World Cup, spread across Russia’s vast expanses, and Euro 2020, dispersed confetti-like across 12 countries from Azerbaijan to Ireland, will be made for television (and, by extension, advertisers), with too many geographic and bureaucratic obstacles to enable herds of fans to easily migrate from one match to another, as they will in France, wining and dining as they go. “Un autre verre, si’il vous plait?’’ — another glass, please? — should be the only French phrase many of them need from June 10 to July 10, if all goes well. But. Because in France, there is almost always a but, a “oui, mais’’ — complications that derive from the fact that despite its generous love of simple pleasures, France is also a complex and quarrelsome place, with social, economic and racial fault lines that often spill into the streets.

As ill luck would have it, the 552 players on 24 teams and their supporters are walking into the latest French fisticuffs. This one, like many before it, is essentially a dispute over the French way of life. It again pits the government — socialist, this time — against unions opposed to efforts to weaken them and liberalize workplaces. Like their parents and grandparents before them, a new generation of malcontents is using the opportunity to cut its teeth in the art of protest, talking politics through the night, hurling paving stones and inhaling police tear gas. So far, transport strikes and gas shortages over the government’s labour reforms have been disruptive rather than crippling. Their impact on Euro 2016 will become clear only as the tournament unfolds and could depend on whether the opposing sides compromise or harden their positions. Despite their centuries of interaction with the world and long colonial history, their pioneering role in the construction of the European Union and the millions of immigrants from Africa and elsewhere who have put down deep and fruitful roots in France, the French can also be distrustful of outsiders. Not all of them, of course, but enough that 6.8 million voted for the extreme right, anti-European and anti-immigration National Front when France last went to the polls in December for regional administrators. The loved-up outpouring of national unity behind France’s multi-coloured team of “blacks, blancs, beurs’’ — blacks, whites and Arabs — that won the 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000 proved short-lived, exposed as veneer by rioting in immigrant neighbourhoods in 2005 and the war now being waged on France by homegrown Islamic terrorists. For spectators, the biggest headache could be unprecedented security involving 90,000 police, soldiers, private guards and others. Even so, the Paris police chief wants more security. Patience, good humour and

common sense will be necessary when navigating multiple rings of body, bag and ticket checks at stadiums. No-fly zones will be in force above venues. Detectors will sniff the air to sound the alarm in case of attack with chemical weapons. Anti-drone technology is available to disable airborne intruders. “Nothing has been left to chance,’’ the tournament’s security director, Ziad Khoury, said. Seemingly, the only thing organizers haven’t seriously considered since the Nov. 13 terror attacks in Paris that killed 130 people is calling the whole thing off. They argue that heightened security is something we all must become accustomed to; the unfortunate new normal in a dangerous world. “There was never any question of cancelling the Euros,’’ Khoury said in an Associated Press interview. “Cancelling big events doesn’t cancel the risk of terrorism. . . . It’s more of a signal of defeat if you do that. “It’s the whole of democratic society, not just French society, that must learn to live with the threat of terrorism and limit it as much as possible.’’ Ultimately, whether France puts on a memorable party or poops on it might depend on its team. Packed with talent in attack and midfield, Les Bleus could go deep into the tournament, despite their shaky-looking defence. France isn’t a footballmad country like England or Italy, especially down south in rugby territory, but people will rally behind players if they don’t misbehave and do something ridiculous like go on strike, as they did in South Africa. A thrilling run by the host team can be a key ingredient for a memorable tournament: Remember the frenzy generated by South Korea’s push to the semifinals at the 2002 World Cup it co-hosted with Japan. At the end, all everyone will want is to get home safe, on transport that works and with a head full of pleasant memories. France is capable of all that. All it must do now is deliver.

GERMANY DOWNPLAYS SECURITY FEARS AHEAD OF EURO EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France — Security at the European Championship is not a worry for German soccer federation president Reinhard Grindel, even though defender Jerome Boateng reportedly said he would feel safer if his family didn’t attend games.

The 27-year-old Boateng, a key player for the World Cup champions at Euro 2016 in France, was quoted as telling Sportbild magazine that his family and children wouldn’t come to the stadium because “the risk is too great for me.’’ Speaking at the German

team’s tournament base in Evian-les-Bains, Grindel said he respected Boateng’s decision, but did not want to comment on it. A state of emergency is still in force in France after extremist attacks killed 130 people in Paris in November. — The Associated Press

FATHER’S DAY

HAVE AN ADVENTURE

On dad’s big day on Sunday, June 19, make a lasting impression by taking him on a memorable adventure. Here are some ideas to take your giftgiving to the next level from Mark’s:

Fishing

Surprise dad with an early-morning fishing trip. He will appreciate being in the outdoors away from the hustle and bustle of life. Plan ahead and research the best fishing spots in your area — perhaps one he hasn’t been to before. To ensure he is properly outfitted for fishing, surprise him with a pair of hiking pants, some of which have up to eight pockets to store all of his fishing essentials.

Cooking Class

Even if your dad isn’t a foodie, attending a cooking class together is a great way to bond with him.

You’ll learn how to create a meal that rivals some of your city’s best restaurants.

Paintball

If he loves an adrenaline rush, paintball is a thrilling activity. One rule of thumb is to have very little skin exposure when playing to avoid injuries, so make sure you both dress appropriately for the conditions. Paintball can be muddy and the sun may be hot, so wear clothing that leaves little exposure to the sun and to the paintballs. Enthusiasts say they recommend something loose and light like a long sleeved shirt with a pair of durable pants.

VIP camping

We are not talking about regular camping here. Spoil your dad this year with a camping trip — VIP style. There are many campgrounds that

offer luxury tents and cabins with raised beds to avoid sleeping on an air mattress. Instead of hotdogs and beans, bring steaks and potatoes for grilling on the barbecue. Although this is VIP style, still expect to get a little dirty. To prepare for your trip, bring a pair of hiking boots and a warm hoodie for when the sun goes down.

Football game

If your dad enjoys being outside, plan a game of touch football with friends and family in your local park. To keep him feeling fresh all day, surprise him with a Denver Hayes T-shirt which prevents moisture from accumulating. Your dad will appreciate taking in the outdoor air and creating new memories with the ones he loves most. For more information on the products mentioned above, head to marks.com. newscanada.com

Treat dad this month The Raymond James Father’s Day Walk Run for Prostate Cancer will take place on Father’s Day — Sunday, June 19. The event will again be held at the 43-hectare (106-acre) B.C. Wildlife Park in east Kamloops. Registration opens at 8 a.m., with thewalk/run beginning at 9:30 a.m. Post-event activities will include a pancake breakfast, prizes and some entertainment. For more information and to register, go online to the fathersdayrun.ca. • The sixth annual Father’s Day Show ‘N Shine Brunch and Market will take place on Sunday, June 19, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Heffley Creek Hall. All cars are welcome and drivers receive a free brunch. The day will include a pancake breakfast, old car show, swap meet, flea market and craft fair. Tables are $10 to book and are filling up fast. Brunch is $10 for adults. Call 250-578-7525 for more information.

Obituaries & In Memoriam John Charles Strother We are saddened to announce the passing of our Husband, Father and Grandad on Friday, June 3, 2016. John is survived by his wife of 51 years Elaine, their children Jeffery (Janet), Todd (Christine) and Danielle (Ryan). He took tremendous pride in his grandchildren Joshua, Jackson, Marcus, Matthew, Nathan, Amy, Cory, Elly and Jenna. Grandad was always their biggest supporter at any event. John also leaves behind his beloved mom Betty, his brothers Robert, Greg, David and his sisters Suzie and Sara. John was born in New Bern, North Carolina on July 18, 1943. His family eventually moved to Medicine Hat where he met Elaine. John and Elaine moved to Kamloops in 1974 where he was the Parts Manager at Tom McCall Pontiac and eventually Zimmer Wheaton. John retired in 2008 and enjoyed travelling to Arizona in the winter. John and Elaine have been proud supporters and season ticket holders of the Kamloops Blazers Hockey Team since the team was called the Chiefs. He was an original member at The Dunes at Kamloops and was a proud member of “The Group of Eight”. If you wanted to find John early in the morning, he would be sitting at The Dunes having coffee with the rest of “The Liars Club”. Dad cherished the times when the family was together, often just sitting back in his chair soaking it all in and more often than not removing his glasses to wipe away the tears of joy. He was a great Husband, Dad and Grandad and his memory will live on through all of us. We love you and we will miss you. Thank you to Dr. Johnson and the nurses in the ICU at Royal Inland Hospital. Their kindness and caring shown to John and our family will always be appreciated. A Celebration of John’s Life will be held in the backyard of his home at 635 Steinke Place on Sunday, June 12 at 3:30 p.m.

The Honourable

Leonard Stephen Marchand

Sr., B.Sc., M.Sc., LL.D. (Hon.), P.C., O.C., O.B.C. November 16, 1933 - June 3, 2016

It is with deepest sadness that the Marchand family announces the peaceful passing of the Honourable Leonard Stephen Marchand Sr., husband, father, grandfather, politician, scientist, advocate, mentor and friend.

December 16, 1948 April 16, 2016

Join us to share stories and remember a life lived to the fullest. Friday, June 17, 2016 from 12:00 till 3:00 pm at the Dunes Golf Course, Kamloops. Online condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com Schoenings Funeral Service 250-374-1454

Len had a lasting impact on all who knew him. He was a proud member of the Okanagan Nation. In 1968, only eight years after First Nations people earned the right to vote in federal elections, Len became the first status Indian to be elected to Parliament. From 1976 to 1979, he became the first person of First Nations’ ancestry to serve in the federal cabinet, first as Minister of State for Small Business and later as Minister of the Environment. Len served in the Senate from 1984 until 1998. He has received the Order of Canada, the Order of BC, the Queen’s Jubilee medal, a National Aboriginal Achievement Award and an Honorary doctorate from Thompson Rivers University in recognition of his service to his people and to Canada. Len was a humble man who came from humble beginnings. Family always came first. The love of his life was his wife of almost 56 years Donna. He loved and was incredibly proud of his children Lori and Len Jr. (Laurie), his grandchildren Carling, Erin (Mitch), Caitlin, Miles, Noah and Keegan, his sisters Margaret, Joan, Pauline and Alice, his brother Raymond and his many, many nieces and nephews. He also loved

and was proud of his parents Joseph and Agnes, and his sisters Mildred, Josephine and Theresa, who predeceased him. Len was a trailblazer. He graduated from Vernon High and earned a Bachelor’s degree in Agriculture from UBC and a Master’s degree in Range Management from the University of Idaho when few First Nations people had done so before him. He had a love affair with plant science and was proud to have published peer reviewed scientific papers when he worked for the federal Department of Agriculture and to have been recognized as a Distinguished Alumni by the Faculty of Land and Food Systems for Agriculture Sciences at UBC. As a politician, he demonstrated that his people could and should play an active role in the political life of this country. Len’s greatest achievements were in advancing the interests of his people, but he represented all of his constituents equally and always did what he honestly thought was best and right.

First Memorial Funeral Service

A public Celebration of Len’s Life will be held at the Arbour at the Tk’emlúps te Secwepemc Powwow grounds (Kamloops, BC) at 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 11, 2016. A private Graveside Service will be held in Vernon, BC, the following day. The family extends their heartfelt thanks to Dr. Sigalet and the other exceptional doctors, nurses and staff who cared for Len during his stay at Royal Inland Hospital. Limlempt and kukstemc to the Tk’emlúps te Secwepemc for offering the use of their beautiful facility for the celebration on June 11. Len always said “Education is the key to the future.” If family and friends desire, donations to the Thompson Rivers University Foundation in Len’s memory would be appreciated.

Thank you mom for laughing at us and with us. We know you are safe and are being taken care of now and probably looking down on us all, watching over us, and wishing us all well. Have a drink for us with Glenda. Move forward and be free. We love you dearly and miss you beyond words. As per request, there will be no service held.

Love me now While I am living. Do not wait until I’m gone And then have it chiseled in marble, Sweet words on ice-cold stone.

A Celebration of Life for Earl will be held on Saturday, June 11, 2016 from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm at St. Andrews on the Square, 159 Seymour St. Kamloops. Interment will be Friday, June 10, 2016 at 1:00 pm Hillside Cemetery, 750 Notre Dame Drive for friends and family.

If you have tender thoughts of me, Please tell me now. If you wait until I am sleeping, Never to awaken, There will be death between us, And I won’t hear you then. So, if you love me, even a little bit, Let me know it while I am living So I can treasure it.

Irvin Weiss

1938 - 2016

Gloria was an active member of her PEO chapter, loved playing golf as well as enjoyed traveling to Palm Springs and Hawaii. Her presence was unmatched by words, her life was shared with great love by all that knew her. She was a true beauty to this world and her impact on our lives and those around her was greater than imagined. Her sense of humour and patience was tested daily by all her children, but she always came through it with a laugh and a smile. She always said she had a great life, but our lives were great because of her.

Which from true affection flow.

Should you move more than 100 kilometers from where your original advance arrangements were made, your prearranged funeral services are fully transferable and will be honoured by any Dignity Memorial provider in North America.

Gloria Frazer

Born in Port Alberni, B.C. she lived a beautiful, full life in Kamloops, B.C for 46 years. Married in Nanaimo in 1959, she is survived by her husband Jim Frazer, their three children Gord and his wife Stella, Linda and Christine, as well as their three grandchildren Kyle, Connor and Tia.

Gloria Frazer, age 77, unexpectedly passed away early in the morning on Tuesday, June 7th, 2016, after complications due to surgery.

while I can know

Always true to himself, Len valued integrity above all else. This inspired the admiration, respect, loyalty and love of his family, friends, colleagues and staff. We will all feel his absence deeply.

A Celebration THE TIME IS NOW Of Life for (Author Unknown) Earl If you are ever going to love me, Herbison Love me now,

Irvin passed away peacefully in the ICU at Royal Inland Hospital on May 27th, 2016 surrounded by his family.

To Those I Love And Those Who Love Me

When I am gone, release me. Let me go I have so many things to see and do. You mustn’t tie yourself to me with tears, Be happy, we had so many years. I gave you my love and you can only guess How much you gave to me in happiness. I thank you for the love you each have shown But now it’s time I traveled alone. So grieve a while for me if grieve you must Then let your grief be comforted by trust. It’s only for a while that we must part So bless those memories in your heart. I won’t be far away for life goes on So if you need me, call and I will come. Though you can’t see or touch me, I’ll be near with all my love around you soft and clear. And then, when you must come this way alone, I’ll greet you with a smile and “Welcome You Home”.

Irvin was born on March 30th, 1934 in Ponoka, Alberta to Assaf Weiss and his wife Berta Schindler Weiss. Irvin spent his youth in Wetaskiwin, Alberta with his siblings Delilah (Lil), Helmut (Hal), Evelyn (Ev), Ben and Harry. Irvin began hauling materials for his Father around Wetaskiwin and from that point on was involved in the trucking industry. He began by working for H.M. Trimble and Sons (Trimac) in the 50’s and soon started hauling to British Columbia. It was on one of these trips that he met his future wife Janice McCormick at Jade Mountain (Chase), BC. Irvin decided that Kamloops was an ideal location to put down some roots and start a family. They were married February 1961 with Son Randy appearing November 1961 effectively ruining their plans for a 1st Anniversary trip to Hawaii! Daughter Deanna arrived in April of 1964. The late 60’s saw the start of the Weiss Family tour of British Columbia. Stops included, Prince George, Fort St John, Dawson Creek, Prince George (again), Tasu (Haida Gwaii) before finally settling in Westsyde, Kamloops, BC in 1972 until Janice’s passing in 1998. He moved to the Plaza Suites at the Station where he enjoyed all the amenities close by. He had coffee and golf buddies that he saw on a daily basis. Unless, of course, he was skiing one of his 60 days a season at Sun Peaks. Later in life Irvin did make a career change and for a while sold Real Estate and was involved in the construction industry. In both these instances working alongside close friends. Irvin was predeceased by wife Janice, his siblings Hal, Harry and Evelyn. He is survived by son Randy (Lanna), daughter Deanna (Tony) and grandchildren Madison and Landon. We wish to thank the wonderful Doctors and Nurses who cared for Irvin. In lieu of flowers, donation can be made to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation. As per Irvin’s request there will be no Service but instead an Open House to be held Saturday, June 25, 2016 at 2:00 pm at 880 Wawn Road, Kamloops, BC.
