A former clubhouse manager of the Kamloops Golf & Country Club told a sentencing judge this week she “lost a second family” after being caught stealing more than $52,000 from the club over a two-year period. Michelle Olson, 43, pleaded guilty to theft over $5,000 in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops. Olson started working at the Tranquille Road golf club in Brocklehurst as a dishwasher at 14, consecutively working through jobs as a waitress, cart girl, bookkeeper and, finally, clubhouse manager. “My activity caused me to lose my second family,” she said of the hundreds of club members. “I broke the trust of a lot of people. It wasn’t just an employer.” B.C. Supreme Court Justice Gary Weatherill

agreed with a joint submission from the Crown and defence for a one-year conditional sentence. Olson will serve the first six months of her conditional sentence under house arrest, while the latter half will be served under a curfew. She is also required to report her conviction to any future employers. Following the charge, Olson lost her job and later her house after she used the equity to pay $25,000 to the golf club’s insurer to satisfy restitution. The club’s losses were covered, said defence lawyer Don Campbell. Crown prosecutor Brian McKinley said Olson used the club’s credit card, and covered up evidence, between 2011 and 2013 to make purchases for various uses, including travel, restaurants, clothes, sporting goods and children’s toys. Campbell said Olson cracked under the

pressure of work and family life. When the club ran into financial problems, her hourly wage was reduced to $15 from $24. At the same time, Campbell said, she was doing work previously done by three people. At home, two of Olson’s children were diagnosed with diseases, while her youngest daughter was so dependent Olson was forced to take her to work. Her husband can no longer work and is on a disability. Olson was eventually diagnosed with bipolar disorder. She stopped drinking 14 years ago. Olson has since moved to Kelowna to start anew. She said she was humiliated every time she left the house on errands because she would constantly run into members from the club. Justice Weatherill commended Olson for making amends and admitting to her problems. “It’s refreshing when you hear someone take responsibility,” Weatherill said.

Court hears confession TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A man standing trial for firstdegree murder in connection to the shooting death of a romantic rival while a Grade 12 student in 2008 admitted the slaying to an undercover cop four years later in the hopes it would clear him of any suspicion. In B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops yesterday, jurors listened to audio recordings and watched video of the accused and his ex-girlfriend having conversations with undercover Mounties posing as gangsters. Tyler Myers was killed in the schoolyard of Bastion elementary in Salmon Arm on Nov. 21, 2008. He was shot three times — twice in the back and once in the back of the head. The man standing trial was 16 at the time of Myers’ death and is now 24. He cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. His ex-girlfriend, also charged with first-degree murder, was 17 at the time and is now 25. She also cannot be named and is slated to stand trial in November. According to the Crown, the two accused lured Myers, 22, to the schoolyard with the plan to kill him. Crown prosecutor Bill Hilderman said the male accused was hiding in a wooden area and fired a bullet into Myers’ back when he had a clear shot. Court heard he then emerged from the wooded area and fired two more shots at the direction of Myers. In court, the incident has been described as a love triangle turned deadly. Both accused were interviewed by police in the days following the murder. They denied any involvement, but became suspects three weeks later after investigators obtained authorization to intercept their text messages. Court heard police resources were drained and the investigation slowed.

Shit happened and it was a spur-of-the“moment thing. They’re going to clear it up.”

— FEMALE ACCUSED TO MALE ACCUSED AS SHE WORKED TO HAVE HIM SPILL DETAILS OF THE KILLING TO UNDERCOVER POLICE SHE BELIEVED WERE GANGSTERS

Late in 2011, police decided to launch a Mr. Big undercover operation in an attempt to gain confessions. The investigation targeted the female accused and began in the summer of 2012. In October 2012, court heard, the undercover Mounties took the female accused on a work trip to Saskatchewan. During a stop for coffee in the town of Ceylan, jurors were told, one of the undercover officers thanked the female accused for her help in establishing an alibi for a fictitious murder he claimed to have committed. Testifying in court yesterday, the corporal said she then told him she had committed a murder of her own. He said he told her the criminal organization could clear her of suspicion. If the fake gang had all the details, the corporal said, it could pin the murder on a terminally ill fall guy who was desperate for money to send his daughter to college. The fall guy, who the female accused met in a Regina hospital, was actually another undercover officer. In court yesterday, jurors listened to recordings of conversations between both accused and two undercover Mounties posing as gangsters. The recordings were made on Oct. 29, 2012. That day, court heard, the female accused and two undercover Mounties drove to the male accused’s house in Salmon Arm. “It was for [the female accused] to understand the seriousness of what we were doing, and therefore it was for her to get as much detail from [the male accused] as possible for the fall guy,” said the corporal,

whose name is protected by a court-ordered publication ban. In a vehicle outside the male accused’s house, the female accused pleaded with him to come clean. “I’ve taken shit to the grave,” she told him. “I’ve never told anyone about it. Just working with these guys, there’s stuff that came up and that I saw happen. It’s fine. “Shit happened and it was a spur-of-the-moment thing. They’re going to clear it up. “Things that I’ve seen with these guys, they’re not cops.” The accused male at first refused to tell his story, but the undercover corporal pressured him and told him police were revisiting the murder. “I know that [the female accused] and you got into a situation with this Tyler dude and Tyler got dropped,” he said in the recording. “All you have to do is look at the newspaper from back then and know Tyler got dropped. The guy that I work for, he looked into a few things and f---in’ heat’s coming. “When f---in’ heat comes, you’re going to f---in’ be angry at yourself. You’re going to be pissed off at yourself.” After much discussion, the accused male admitted to killing Myers. He said he shot him three or four times with a rifle he had borrowed from a friend. The accused male told the corporal that after the murder, they returned the firearm to their friend and then “went for Slurpees.” Both accused were arrested in December 2012. The trial, which started on Monday, is expected to last about a month.

Body found; foul play not suspected Foul play is not suspected in connection to the discovery of a body in a grassy area off one of Kamloops’ busiest streets. RCMP were called to the 1300-block of Columbia St W. just after 4 p.m. on Wednesday after a body was discovered by a pedestrian. The Kamloops RCMP serious-crime unit and

the BC Coroners Service were on the scene near the intersection of Notre Dame Drive. “At this time, the discovery of this body is not believed to be criminal in nature and the investigation is ongoing,” Sgt Darren Michels said. Neither age, gender nor race of the deceased have been released.

MOTORCYCLE SAFETY TIPS MERV SADDEN

My experience is that most people spend very little time thinking about insurance and in general it is not well understood. What is liability insurance anyway?

LIABILITY INSURANCE It is the insurance we buy for our vehicles to pay for any damage we cause to others when we cause an accident. For example, while riding our motorcycle we may strike and injure a pedestrian in a cross walk. That person’s claim for injury and loss is against the driver and owner of the motorcycle. The liability insurance we buy on our motorcycle is there to pay for that loss so that we do not have to pay for it personally. If the motorcycle was uninsured, then the driver and owner would be personally liable to pay for the loss. So how much liability insurance should we buy? My recommendation is at least $3 million on a motorcycle. The diﬀerence in the premium cost between $1 million and $3 million is minimal. Ask your agent. Remember - if you injure your passenger their claim is against you. You will want to make sure that you have adequate insurance to cover the loss incurred by your friend or loved one. As we are not protected by a cabin, seatbelt, or airbag, injuries in motorcycle accidents can be very serious.

LOCAL NEWS 18 IN KAMLOOPS TO THE END OF MAY

OD deaths continue to soar in B.C. DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

As the number of illicit drug-related deaths continues to rise, frontline workers are scrambling to deal with it, said Bob Hughes. The executive director of ASK Wellness Centre said since provincial medical officer of health Dr. Perry Kendall declared a public health emergency due to the “unprecedented number of deaths,” organizations like ASK still haven’t officially received naloxone kits that are key to reversing opiate-related overdoses. Hughes said he has managed to obtain a few for the centre, but would prefer to see his outreach workers equipped with the kits to provide to drug users, along with instruction on how to use them. He said the city’s street nurses just recently obtained the kits. Commenting on yesterday’s report from the provincial coroners’ office that shows the number of deaths continues to outpace previous years’ statistics, Hughes said he isn’t blaming the government for the lack of sufficient resources to help

deal with what Health Minister Terry Lake has called a huge surge in overdoses and deaths. Rather, Hughes said, he believes no one anticipated the level of social distress that is leading to drug use. The B.C. Coroners Service’s updated statistics show 308 accidental illicit drugrelated deaths in the province during the first five months of the year, a 75 per cent increase from the same period in 2015. Kamloops continues to have one of the highest increases, with just seven reported last year and 18 to the end of May. Of the provincial number, 250 men died and 58 women perished, with the 30-39 age category accounting the largest percentage of deaths, at 91 to the end of May. By region, Fraser Health recorded the most deaths to the end of May, with 93, followed by Vancouver Coastal with 72 and Vancouver Island with 66. Northern Health reported 20 such deaths. Interior Health has had 57 such deaths. To date, there have been nine illicitdrug deaths for those ages 10 to 19. In all

of 2015, there were 11. There has been one death reported this year in the 70-79 age bracket. There was one death reported in that category in 2015. Hughes said greater testing ability continues to be a concern. He’d like to see a way for users to test drugs they buy in some way because now, the only reliable tests come if someone recovers from an opiate overdose through Naloxone — or in toxicology tests done on a dead body. As for concerns another drug more potent than fentanyl or morphine has been found in the province, Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said there’s been nothing to indicate the drug W-18 is in the city. It has been found in Kelowna, Burnaby, Richmond and Surrey and is considered to be 100 times more potent than fentanyl, a drug that has already caused 148 of the drug-overdose deaths in the province as of April 30, six of them in Kamloops. W-18 is 10,000 times more potent than morphine. A 35-year-old Calgary man was the country’s first reported overdose death attributed to W-18. He died last month.

The pilot of a speedboat that ran head-first into a houseboat on Shuswap Lake, killing its owner and injuring passengers, is appealing his conviction for criminal negligence. Lawyers acting for Leon Reinbrecht have filed grounds with the B.C. Court of Appeal to have his conviction overturned. Reinbrecht, 54, was convicted on one count each of

criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm following a trial last year. He was sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison. Kamloops lawyer Fred Kaatz, who was co-counsel along with Joe Doyle, said yesterday lawyers will argue B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sheri Donegan erred when she ruled Reinbrecht’s Charter rights were not breached by delays in prosecution and the trial itself. The grounds for appeal

also state the sentencing judge misconstrued evidence at the trial. Reinbrecht was behind the wheel of a recklessly driven speedboat on the night of July 3, 2010, following a post-Canada Day fireworks display on Magna Bay. The lake was busy and witnesses said they saw Reinbrecht’s boat pulling donuts and speeding close to shore. Ken Brown was impaired himself while at the helm of his slow-moving houseboat

when Reinbrecht’s speedboat collided with it nearly head-on. But Donegan said there was nothing he could have done to prevent the nearly crash. Brown died at the scene and other people on both boats suffered non-lifethreatening injuries. At trial, Doyle argued Brown’s houseboat was not properly lit. Following the crash, investigators determined at least one of the houseboat’s lights was not functioning properly.

VIEWPOINT

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

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

NOT: The continued rise in the number of overdose drug deaths in Kamloops and across B.C. This year is shaping up to the be the worst ever for the number of people dying from taking drugs, with 308 deaths recorded provincewide to the end of May. That is a 75 per cent increase compared to the number of overdose deaths during the first five months of 2015. In Kamloops, the situation is equally grim, with 18 residents dying from taking drugs through May. The province has declared a public health emergency and the media has been relentless in issuing warnings —Health Minister Terry Lake said this week the media’s focus on the issue has saved lives — but too many people are simply not getting the message that the drug you think you are buying may be something else entirely.

OUR

VIEW

HOT: The Thompson Rivers University volleyball program, which will see two graduates take to the court this summer at the 2016 Olympic Summer Games in Brazil. Gord Perrin will play for Canada and Kevin Tillie will suit up for France at the Games. The pair’s achievement speaks volumes about TRU’s volleyball program and men’s head coach Pat Hennelly’s talent in developing athletes. HOT: The 2016 Kamloops Y Dream Home Lottery, which set a record for the quickest sale of all 11,000 tickets, which occurred in less than seven weeks. If you have a ticket, mark July 6 on your calendar to see if you will win the house — or one of hundreds of other prizes.

Borrow and spending in B.C.

ith 11 months to redefine itself for voters, Premier Christy Clark’s B.C. Liberal government has dialed back its boasting about four consecutive balanced budgets and has begun creating the impression of a minor spending spree. It picked up with a series of education funding announcements. First Education Minister Mike Bernier unveiled an increase to the province’s “fix-it fund,” as he calls it. This is not to be confused with the annual “facilities grant” provided to school districts each year or the carbon tax collected from schools and hospitals that is then doled out for approved energy upgrades. The “fix-it fund” was $20 million last year, but in March, Bernier announced it was increased to $40 million and called for districts to propose roof, electrical, heating and other projects that could be done by March 2017. After going through the submissions, Bernier announced in mid-May the fund is up to $45 million. The increase is not new money, he assured reporters. That means it’s taken from the next two years of the threeyear education budget. Hence my reference to “creating the impression” of a spending spree. Or perhaps Cowichan Valley NDP MLA Bill Routley’s favourite expression captures it best: “jiggerypokery.” Then Bernier found another

TOM FLETCHER

Our Man In

VICTORIA $25 million for struggling school district operations by returning “administrative savings” his ministry had required from districts for the second year running. With some school districts charging for bus service or cutting it out entirely, the “administrative savings” argument wasn’t doing so well. The B.C. NDP ran its last election campaign on the assertion the 2013 budget wasn’t going to be balanced, despite a run of land sales to stop the flow of red ink left from buying the province out of the harmonized sales tax. But B.C. Liberal Finance Minister Mike de Jong did balance the books with the help of a temporary tax increase on incomes of $150,000 and up. Then came last year’s federal election and balanced budgets got a bad name. Justin Trudeau’s Liberals insisted the Stephen Harper Conservatives were running a hidden deficit and starving us into recession. Trudeau promised “modest” deficits of no more than $10 billion a year to stimulate the

economy. Federal NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair promised to balance the budget while still providing national day care and other big-ticket services. He lost and his party turned away from him and from “austerity,” as borrow-and-spend enthusiasts like to call paying for public services as you go. B.C. NDP Leader John Horgan took note of the apparent shift in public mood to tolerate borrowing. The NDP under Adrian Dix promised deficit spending four years ago, but wrapped it in a claim it would only spend the B.C. Liberals’ alleged hidden deficit. That didn’t work very well. In 2017, will Horgan follow Mulcair’s path or Trudeau’s? He is careful not to commit himself now on specific positions, but in a recent interview with the Vancouver Sun, Horgan did question the need to account for the costs of every promise. “Justin Trudeau didn’t cost a damn thing,” he said. “And Donald Trump’s not costed a damn thing, nor did Bernie Sanders, and I don’t imagine Hillary Clinton will, either.” Actually, Trudeau did cost his platform for voters. Then, after winning a majority, he threw those estimates out and tripled the forecast deficits. Canada spent itself into a huge hole in the 1970s and it took until the 1990s to get out of it. We’ll soon find out if that lesson is lost on a new generation of voters. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

ADVISORY GROUP MORE THAN ANTI-AJAX VOICES Editor: A recent news release asserted the community advisory group (CAG) for the proposed Ajax mine was displeased with the review process, claiming “scandalous” behaviour within government agencies. It should be known not all CAG members agree with that assertion. In fact, not all CAG members were even aware a news release was being prepared, since they were excluded from any discussion leading to the release. It should also be known the terms of reference and operating procedure for the CAG states “members are free to speak with media as representatives of their respective organizations and not as representatives of

CAG, unless the CAG chooses to designate a spokesperson.” As a member of the CAG, I am not aware of any meeting to discuss or conclude that anyone, in particular John Schleiermacher of the Kamloops Area Preservation Association, the signed author of the release, had been chosen to represent the group in statements to the media. It is the observation of several members that the CAG is almost entirely composed of individuals and groups that have been against the Ajax project since before the environmental-assessment process began. Now these groups are utilizing the CAG as a tool for disseminating information with which not all members agree.

Simply put, it appears the CAG has gone somewhat off the rails in a zealous attempt to stop Ajax at all costs, rather than continue with its intended purpose. Unless control measures are taken, I recommend the public view any information the media chooses to disseminate from individuals using the community advisory group moniker as highly suspect in its content. I also recommend the public become more personally involved in the environmental-assessment review of Ajax to ensure all voices are heard, not just blatantly anti-Ajax groups unofficially purporting to represent the CAG. Perry Grunenberg Kamloops

CALLING ON CRASH WITNESS TO COME FORWARD Editor: Would the Good Samaritan sitting in Sharky’s Restaurant who was a witness to a car accident on the corner of Tranquille Road and Renfrew Street on Tuesday, Feb. 16, at 4:20 p.m. please come forward again and contact me, the owner of the lime green KIA Soul involved in the accident? My partner, the driver, didn’t take your name and number, but referred you to the female RCMP

officer investigating. Upon checking with police recently, there is no record of

a witness statement being taken. I am anxious to hear from you. Please kindly call

me via the KTW editor at 778-471-7525. I am also asking any other motorists who may have wit-

nessed the accident to also call. Thank you. Vivian Hansberry Kamloops

BLESS MY HERO Editor: I lost one of my heroes last week. Without Len Marchand Sr., there might not have been a Sagebrush Theatre or Western Canada Theatre Company. God bless you, Len. Tom Kerr Kamloops Editor’s note: Tom Kerr is founder of Western Canada Theatre. A memorial service for Marchand will be held tomorrow at 10 a.m. at the Tk’emlups Indian Band Pow Wow Grounds Arbour.

boundaries, ridding the course of any bottlenecks and adding at least four more bases in the vicinity of an imposing sniper tower. The game is described as a combination of capture the flag, tag and hide-and-seek, with many styles and scenarios. Since Doucette fell in love with paintball in 1987, it’s been a life goal to run a field of his own. “It’s surreal. It’s not every day one realizes their dream,” said Doucette, who purchased Kamloops Paintball Games last year at the age of 39. “It’s scary, going from dreaming about it to owning it and operating it. But, with the guys I’ve got, it couldn’t have worked out better.

“I love it out here.” Doucette’s business partners are Vancouver’s Frontline Paintball owners Mathew Jantzi and Jason Dadd. The pair became familiar with Doucette during the 10 years he spent at Tsawwassen Paintball Games, starting when he was 12. Doucette still remembers the first time he got pelted with a shot that brought him to tears — and marked the moment he knew he’d be playing the game forever. Years of volunteering on the field, refereeing and competing followed. Doucette founded and competed on the Tsawwassen Raptors paintball team, which gained him some fame amongst the province’s elite players. Doucette moved to Kamloops 11 years ago. Soon after arriving, he became familiar with Kamloops Paintball Games and its previous owner Aaron Webber. Doucette was the head referee at the field until Webber decided it was time to sell. “He called me up he said, ‘Consider this your first refusal,’” Doucette recounted. “I said, ‘I’m not refusing.’” Doucette happened to reconnect with Jantzi and Dadd in 2014, when Kamloops hosted the Tippmann Challenge, in which he was competing alongside his then 10-year-old son Markus. The Vancouver pair now operate bcpaintball.com and a network of partnered fields on the Coast. Doucette presented to them his business plan, only to find the pair already had an interest in the Kamloops facility, one of the oldest paintball fields in the country.

FATHER’S DAY JUNE 19 YOU KNOW DADS ARE WELL KNOWN FOR SAYING THE SILLIEST THINGS! WELL SEND IN WHAT %$#@ YOUR DAD SAYS AND YOU COULD WIN A WEEKEND FOR TWO IN VANCOUVER TO ENJOY A BC LIONS HOME GAME! This weekend, Kamloops Paintball Games is hosting second instalment of bcpaintball.com’s Narco Wars Scenario Series, which will bring in players from across B.C.

“They said, ‘Yes. We’ll be your support. You do what you do,’” Doucette said. “I absolutely love what I do. For someone like me who’s been chasing paint for 20 years, this is an honour.” The operation is family-run, with Doucette’s wife Carrie-Anne taking care of bookings and social media and his 16-year-old daughter Hennessy running the on-site “shack.” His 10-year-old son Tyghe is the youngest paintball referee in the province and now-12-year-old Markus is credited with getting the ball rolling. Since taking over operations, Doucette has introduced the smaller, low-impact splatmaster field for kids about age nine. Earlier this week, he was measuring the perimeter of what will eventually be the speedball field — the style of game in

which he specializes. He hopes to bring a United Paintball League (UPL) speedball tournament to Kamloops in 2017. Doucette is still active on the field, competing last weekend in a UPL tournament in Langley with his Kamloops Kaos team. This weekend brings bcpaintball.com’s second instalment of the Narco Wars Scenario Series, which will draw players from around the province to Kamloops Paintball Games. Two teams of 60 will be the first to test out Doucette’s field improvements and he’s looking forward to seeing how they manoeuvre through. “It’s like a brotherhood — all different calibres and styles. It’s a lot of fun to watch,” he said. “It gets to the point where there is so much paint flying through the air — it’s quite the battle.”

Itching to play? Kamloops Paintball Games is located at the bottom of the road to Harper Mountain. From the intersection of Highway 5 North and Paul Lake Road, drive about 10 minutes toward Paul Lake and take the turn to Harper Mountain. The paintball field will be on your left after you pass the Paul Lake community. A white trailer marks the entrance. For more information, go online to kamloopspaintball. com.

Primary care teams are the new reality CHRISTOPHER FOULDS KTW EDITOR editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

We may never return to the “doc in a box” physician for every resident scenario, Health Minister Terry Lake told Central Interior members of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association Wednesday night. But, he added, that doesn’t mean each resident in Kamloops and across B.C. should not have access to quality patient-focused care. “The reality is, we have more doctors per 100,000 people than ever before in B.C.,” Lake said, adding the difference is physicians in 2016 are not like the physicians of a generation or two ago. Doctors today tend to specialize, Lake said, and for those who remain family physicians, the work/ life balance is far more important than it once was. The 60- or 70-hour work week for doctors is no longer a reality, thereby impacting accessibility. That problem — of too few available GPs, resulting in long lineups at walk-in clinics and at hospital ERs — is not unique to British Columbia, Lake note. In B.C., he said, 15.5 per cent of the population does not have a family doctor. In Alberta, that figure is 20 per cent, in Manitoba, it is 19 per cent and in Quebec, it is 25 per cent. This reality is not new and is part of the reason the province has been transforming its health-care system, a system Lake said was designed in the 1960s for when the population was young. He said it was essentially a hospital-insurance program aimed at providing acute care and now

needs to address the chronic health issues of an aging population. “We have to design the health-care system for that population, not for the population of the ‘60s,” Lake said. On that point, the MLA for Kamloops-North Thompson said, the province has been working toward a patient-centred focus and keying in on prevention and health promotion. A primary care model moving past the 1960s-era health-care model that can be resistant to change involves teams of health-care workers — in person and virtually — patients can see. Lake said the team could include a doctor, nurse practitioner, nurse and counsellor, all of whom would have the patient’s medical record. Who the patient sees on a given visit would depend on what issue needs addressing. The benefits touted include supporting continuity of care over time and across settings, reducing pressure on emergency rooms and making health care more sustainable. In addition, the government has made legislative changes to allow people to stay in assisted care longer, rather than entering residential care. Today, Lake said, $2 million per hour is spent on the province’s health care, with the annual budget ballooning to $15 billion from $8.5 billion in the past 15 years. “It’s hard to get your head around that number,” Lake said. “There’s not going to be the old model of a doc in the box, the ‘60s model. But there should be a team that meets your needs.”

How would YOU improve health care? The province’s all-party Select Standing Committee on Health has launched a public consultation on the sustainability and quality of B.C.’s healthcare system. The public is invited to provide input on the following questions: 1. How can we improve health and health care services in rural British Columbia? In particular, what long-term solutions can address the challenges of recruitment and retention

of health-care professionals in rural B.C.? 2. How can we create a costeffective system of primary and community care built around interdisciplinary teams? 3. How can we enhance the effectiveness of addiction recovery programs? British Columbians may participate in the consultation process by attending a public hearing or by making a written, audio or video submission. The committee will hold

public hearings in Kamloops, Victoria, Vancouver and Prince George. A conference call option will be available for those unable to attend in person. The meeting in Kamloops will take place on Wednesday, July 6, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at a yet to be determined location. To learn more about the committee and how to participate in the consultation, go online toleg.bc.ca/cmt/health. Deadline for submissions is: Friday, July 29.

Groups want more public input Centre hurt by CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A coalition of community groups is asking for another public review period on the Ajax mine application — a document they call flawed and inaccurate. More than a dozen community groups that make up the community advisory group on Ajax made the demand public Tuesday. Community advisory

group member John Schleiermacher said the the 18,000-page document “is so riddled with inaccuracies and missing information that it is difficult to trust anything KGHM Ajax says or promises.” An extended 75-day comment period ended in April. Proponent KGHM Ajax has asked for a pause in the legal timeline for processing and consideration

many revisions to the Application that KGHM Ajax must undertake,” Schleiermacher said. In response, the Ministry of Environment replied by email, stating it is reviewing the request and will reply by letter. It noted the Environmental Assessment Office held four open house periods on Ajax. The reply also stated the technical working group is tasked with

of its application to the federal and provincial governments in order to respond to technical concerns. The community advisory group issued a letter on May 17 to the federal and provincial environment ministers asking for a second comment period, but there has been no response. “It is crucial that the public have another opportunity to review and comment on the

funding woes CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops Aboriginal Friendship Centre is struggling to cover wages and expenses amid a struggle with the federal bureaucrats who oversee funding. Cathy McLeod, MP for Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo, called attention to the issue in the House of Commons, saying the centres across Canada deliver “life-changing and life-saving programs.” That includes the Kamloops Aboriginal Friendship Centre (formerly Interior Indian Friendship Centre). Christopher Phillips, executive director of the local friendship centre, confirmed the 44-year-old non-profit agency is struggling with lack of funding from what is known as community capacity support (CCS). “The federal bureaucrats in Indian and Northern Affairs Canada are delaying and trying to force changes in the terms and uses for the existing funding,” he said. Phillips said those changes “cripple the administrative coverage for wages” in addition for compliance with audits. The friendship centre has laid off a receptionist who signs in people who are homeless for laundry and shower service as well as booking appointments with counsellors. “Other staff, still being covered through CCS, are being paid by us in the interim. But we are almost a quarter way through the fiscal year without confirmation of funding for these vital positions.” Phillips said it is covering the shortfall with a small and dwindling surplus. Under the shortfall, McLeod said, laying off staff and shrinking programs has become the only option for the centre. She urged the Liberal government to restore funding.

Cats, like humans, get cancer. We have an emotional reaction to the word “cancer” because we think of it as a disease that will likely result in disability or death of our beloved pet.. but the good news is, this is not always the case. As in human medicine, recent advances in veterinary medicine have resulted in more accurate diagnosis and effective treatment for many kinds of cancer. One good example of this is intestinal lymphoma, which is an extremely common condition in older cats. The early signs are usually subtle: the kitty vomits more often than twice a month, and perhaps loses a bit of weight, and some patients will also have diarrhea. Many diseases of older cats have a similar clinical picture, but these can usually be readily differentiated from lymphoma through the use of a blood panel and an abdominal ultrasound. If the ultrasound indicates that the cat has “low grade intestinal lymphoma”, the cat’s owner often reacts with shock and dismay. But the good news is: with treatment, most cats with intestinal lymphoma have an excellent chance of living an

active, pain-free life for several more years. A recent paper reported an average survival time of 3 1/2 years after diagnosis, which is quite respectable considering that the average cat diagnosed with lymphoma is 12 years old. One cat in the report was diagnosed 7 years ago and is still going strong. And encouragingly, the treatment is not what we think of as conventional “chemotherapy” with injections and dreaded side effects: the treatment for intestinal lymphoma consists of 2 inexpensive oral medications (prednisolone and chlorambucil), both of which do not cause any side effects in most cats – other than the side effects of feeling better, gaining weight, and a lot less vomiting ! Intestinal lymphoma is not the only disease of older cats that is readily treatable – if you are worried about your old cat, see your veterinarian and talk about investigating the problem – depending on the diagnosis, there may be good options for successful treatment. Dr. Diane McKelvey practices feline and canine medicine at Aberdeen Veterinary Hospital in Kamloops.

Six months due to her ‘job’ CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

An unapologetic drug dealer and addict who refused treatment — saying selling methamphetamine was her job — has been sentenced to six months in jail. Donna Davidson, 39, pleaded guilty to two counts of trafficking in a controlled substance after selling $80 worth of methamphetamine to undercover RCMP on two occasions on the night of Sept. 11, 2013. Davidson has no criminal

record and is the single parent of a young teen. Defence lawyer Chris Thompson said he encouraged Davidson to seek help for her addictions, as did staff at the probation office. Davidson told B.C. Supreme Court Justice Gary Weatherill she sells drugs to pay bills and raise her son. “I need to pay my rent,” she said during the sentence hearing. “I don’t want to leave a job without having another job to go to.” The Crown asked for a six-

month jail sentence. A conditional sentence order is not available under the Criminal Code, but lesser penalties, including a suspended sentence, may be levied. Justice Weatherill opted for the six-month sentence, telling Davidson “it’s time to help you.” “If a period of incarceration weren’t ordered, you would continue with that lifestyle and continue trafficking. It would continue until you’re caught again.” Weatherill said he hopes Davidson can receive treatment in the correctional system.

Bail for men accused in Clinton death TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Extra security was on hand in a crowded Kamloops courtroom on June 3 as two men accused of killing a 61-year-old Cariboo man in 2014 were granted bail. Wyatt Boffa, 26, and Kodi Tower, 28, were released on a number of strict conditions, including orders they stay away from the village of Clinton, which is on Highway 97, about 120 kilometres northwest of Kamloops. Both men are charged with manslaughter in

connection to the Sept. 11, 2014, death of James Painter. Crown prosecutor Chris Balison called the allegations against Boffa and Tower “serious,” but none of the alleged cir-

cumstances were read in court. More than twodozen people were in Courtroom 2B at the Kamloops Law Courts for the brief bail hearing, with three extra deputy

sheriffs standing guard. Both men were ordered to reside with family in the Okanagan — Boffa in Enderby and Tower in Kelowna. They are due back in court on July 18.

Clark sheds silence to fight sexual violence with law THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — Premier Christy Clark has revealed an intensely personal story behind a new law enacted to prevent sexual violence and misconduct at post-secondary institutions. Clark said in an op-ed published in the Vancouver Sun yesterday that for 35 years she’d kept silent about being attacked at age 13 by an unknown man who tried to pull her into some bushes. She said she managed to get away and “ran like the wind.’’ Clark said she has always wondered if, due to her silence, the man continued his behaviour and caught a girl who could not get away. “I wish I’d had the courage to say something then. I do now,’’ she said in the op-ed.

Premier Christy Clark revealed yesterday in the Vancouver Sun that she was attacked as a teenager.

The province’s Sexual Violence and Misconduct Policy Act was passed in May. The law was proposed by Green Party Leader Andrew Weaver as a private member’s bill, but Clark stood in the

legislature and announced her government would support it. The bill requires post-secondary institutions to implement stand-alone policies to respond to sexual violence. It will come into effect one year after royal assent, in order to give institutions time to create and establish policies with input from students. “I knew it was the right thing to do,’’ Clark said in the op-ed. “It speaks to the large number of women and men who stay silent about their experiences. For over 35 years, I’ve been one of them.’’ Clark said even though she didn’t have the courage to speak about assault at the age of 13, she does now. “I remember all of the sexual advances from strangers: getting flashed, groped, spied on.’’ Since coming forward with her own experience, she said almost

every female colleague and friend has shared a similar tale and none had spoken up. “I want women who have never said anything about sexual violence in their lives to know they are not alone,’’ Clark said, while urging institutions where women live, work and study to understand the breadth of the problem. Her op-ed drew support from B.C.’s independent children’s representative Mary Ellen TurpelLafond. “I am extremely proud of the premier for acknowledging in public her own experience,’’ she said. “This is difficult and personal and she found her voice now to speak out. This tells me that even in high office there’s pressure to keep quiet, forget or just frankly pretend all is fine, when it’s not.’’ Turpel-Lafond said her work with B.C.’s vulnerable children

reveals children and families require strong supports, safety and police protection. She said this year’s byelection of New Democrat Melanie Mark, who has spoken publicly of the abuse she has suffered, opened public channels about such issues across the province. New Democrat Kathy Corrigan recounted a terrifying abuse incident in her teenage years during debate of the government’s sexual violence law. Clark said the issue of sexual violence needs more voices. “Let’s build a community where women and men who have dealt with sexual violence can feel safe and comfortable talking about it,’’ she said. “Let’s get to work on addressing it.’’ Ontario was the first province in Canada to adopt similar legislation earlier this year.

EDMONTON — A group that employs 300 South African firefighters on loan to Alberta to battle the Fort McMurray blaze says it is bringing its workers home after they complained about what they are being paid. The organization Working on Fire says senior managers have been sent to Canada to address concerns and oversee the return to South Africa after a week on the job. An Alberta government spokesman says some of the firefighters refused to work on Wednesday. Working on Fire says an agreement that was signed called for the firefighters to earn their normal stipend, plus any overtime, as members of South Africa’s public works department. They also were to receive an additional $50 a day in two separate payments: $15 while in Canada and the remaining $35 after returning home. Firefighter Ditiro Moseki told Edmonton radio station CHED that he has been working 12 hours a day and gets paid $50 a day. Moseki says a news story he and some of his co-workers saw from South Africa says the employer is paying them $21 an hour. “They have gone to the media and tell the media that they are going to pay us $21 per hour,’’ Moseki said Wednesday.

Cancer patient fed up with parking fees

WINNIPEG — Fed up with parking fees, a Winnipeg cancer patient is threatening to vandalize meters that stand between him and treatments. Collin Kennedy has been battling leuke-

“So, comparing the $21 per hour to that $50 that they are going to give us today, there is a serious difference there.’’ Working on Fire says it never agreed to pay anyone $21 an hour. “This was discussed with firefighters before their departure to Canada and everyone signed this agreement,’’ the organization said in a statement yesterday. Spokesman Linton Rensburg added in an email to The Canadian Press that the firefighters normal stipend is the Canadian equivalent of between $200 and $1,200 a month depending on rank. The Alberta government is not part of the pay dispute, provincial spokesperson Renato Gandia said. “We have a contract with the South African government based on a rate per day per firefighter,’’ Gandia said in a statement to CTV News. “We’re paying that rate. “It is our understanding these firefighters are being paid what they agreed to before they arrived, but if there is a disagreement here, it’s between the firefighters and their employer, not with the government of Alberta.’’ The South Africans’ deployment in Alberta started with much fanfare when they arrived at the Edmonton airport on May 29. The firefighters sang and danced and expressed their excitement at being able to help.

mia for 17 years, all the while paying for parking. The 48-year-old single father lives on a fixed income and said he spent about $15,000 on parking since his diagnosis.

The city says it has no plans to remove any meters, noting charging a fee helps to ensure a healthy turnover in the availability of street parking. In May, Kennedy damaged one meter

with expanding foam. He said he may do it again in the hope of helping others avoid the hassle of feeding the meter when they go for chemotherapy and other treatments. —The Canadian Press

Governor Stephen Poloz cautioned that climbing real estate prices have outpaced local economic fundamentals like job creation, immigration and income growth. The central bank, Poloz added, weighed in on the long-running issue this week after seeing evidence these markets were fuelled by “self-reinforcing’’ expectations among prospective buyers and lenders that the current skyward price trajectory would continue. “You have to admit the possibility that the price could actually decline in these circumstances,’’ Poloz told a news conference in Ottawa after the release of the bank’s semiannual assessment on the state of Canada’s financial stability. “But we’re not predicting that or anything. “We’re just saying the risk that that could happen, whatever

number it is, is growing as we sit here.’’ The document noted year-over-year house price growth in the Vancouver area hit 30 per cent last month, up from 15 per cent in December. In Toronto, prices increased by 15 per cent, compared to 10 per cent six months ago. Vulnerabilities linked to greater imbalances in regional housing markets and the continued rise of household debt were higher than they were six months ago, the bank said in its latest financial system review. While the probability of a trigger, such as a severe recession, remains low, the bank said the severity of such an event has increased

since its December assessment. Going forward, Poloz said the longer these risks prevail, the bigger impact they could have. “It’s not as though there’s been some sudden change or anything like that, but all of the evidence continues to accumulate,’’ he said. The bank’s warning comes as the federal government faces pressure from researchers, bankers and other housing sector observers to address expanding household indebtedness and rising prices, particularly in Toronto and Vancouver. On Wednesday, Finance Minister Bill Morneau said Ottawa was conducting an in-depth examination

Feds slammed on First Nations funding for child welfare, suicide prevention THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — First Nations advocate Cindy Blackstock says the federal government is still racially discriminating against First Nations children in its delivery of services on reserve. Blackstock told a parliamentary committee that responding to a landmark ruling from the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal is not a matter of juggling pri-

orities but an issue of legal compliance. She said the $71 million earmarked this year for child welfare is insufficient, pegging the actual need at around $200 million. On Wednesday, Blackstock’s organization — the First Nations Family and Child Caring Society — submitted a strongly worded submission to the tribunal in response to the government’s compliance reports on

child welfare. In April, the tribunal ordered the federal government to provide detailed calculations and evidence on why it believes the last budget meets its obligations. It also gave the Indigenous Affairs Department two weeks to confirm it has implemented Jordan’s Principle — a policy designed to ensure First Nations children can access services without getting caught in red tape.

of real estate markets to determine what measures might be necessary to ensure Canadians can still afford to buy homes. Morneau did not specify what sort of changes the government was considering or how soon it may introduce them. Over the winter, he increased the minimum down payment for homes over $500,000 to 10 per cent from five per cent, a measure aimed specifically at cooling off the Toronto and Vancouver markets. It was one of several mortgage rule changes the government has made in recent years. Morneau added that Ottawa is also examining whether there is any evidence to support the notion held by some that foreign buyers are driving up home prices. In its report yesterday, the Bank of Canada said foreign demand has contributed to price growth in Vancouver and Toronto, which in turn has boosted overall household indebtedness. The bank noted, however, that it’s difficult to measure the impact of foreign investment on the

housing market. Carolyn Wilkins, the bank’s senior deputy governor, said yesterday that data on foreign investment in Canada’s housing sector is “particularly poor,’’ though some research has shown it is adding to market demand. Wilkins also pointed to an unanswered question: if there’s an adverse shock, would foreign owners sell? Overall, the bank said the level of risk to Canada’s financial system was largely unchanged from six months ago because the higher household vulnerabilities come with the backdrop of an ongoing economic recovery. The report, which examines vulnerabilities and risks to the financial system, also highlighted other persistent concerns. It pointed to the continued presence of fragile fixed-income market liquidity as a key vulnerability in the overall financial system, while it repeats the risks of a sharp increase in long-term interest rates, stress from emerging markets like China and prolonged weakness in commodity prices.

Whether we are just maintaining your beautiful smile, or working to restore it back to health, I feel very lucky to be a part of that process.

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

or the first time in 24 years, Canada will be playing volleyball at the Olympic Summer Games. And the Thompson Rivers WolfPack played a part in getting the nation there. Outside hitter and WolfPack alumnus Gord Perrin was a key component in Canada’s victory at the World Olympic Qualification Tournament in Japan on the weekend, putting together what is being dubbed one of his best performances since becoming a member of the national team. For the WolfPack men’s volleyball program and its current roster, the Olympic return, and Perrin’s role in it, is especially inspirational and will only help with future recruitment. “It’s really cool because you watch him play and you’re like, ‘Hey, I’m at the same school that guy was,’” said Sam Taylor-Parks, a middle for the WolfPack who will be entering his second university season in 2016-2017. “You then know that the program you’re in is a strong program and you do have the potential to go to the next level. “It’s exciting to see guys from my university playing around the world and at that level.” Perrin played three seasons of university volleyball for the WolfPack, suiting up with the club from 2007 to 2010. He was Canada West’s rookie of the year in his debut season and an all-Canadian in 2010. The 6-foot-7 native of Creston had 27 points in Canada’s final victory at the Japan tournament, the last opportunity to qualify for the Olympics, leading a five-set defeat of China. Canada later clinched its berth in the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro when Poland defeated Australia. Perrin will be joined at the Olympics by Kevin Tillie, another WolfPack volleyball alumnus, who

The Kamloops Venom think there’s something fishy going on in the South Okanagan. After a game between the Venom and the South Okanagan Flames meant to be played last Saturday was postponed, the clubs will meet twice next week — once in Penticton on Monday and again at Kamloops’ Memorial Arena on Thursday. The suspicion comes in the reason for last week’s postponement. “What happened there was, they said they had to reschedule the game because they didn’t have enough players to fill their roster and they didn’t have midget call-ups,” Venom general manager and coach Brandon Pittman told KTW. “But the main reason, I think, is because they had their top player out with a concussion — Kaid MacLeod — and the game before they had four suspensions of their other top four players.” Pittman said he expects the four Flames will be finished serving their suspensions for either one or both of the games between the Venom and the Flames — South Okanagan played a game against the last-place Armstrong Shamrocks on Monday — and MacLeod, the league’s No. 2 scorer, will be back on the floor. “We tried to talk to the league about it,” Pittman said, before joking, “Nobody likes us. “[It’s] fine. We want to play their best team. We want their best players on the floor.” Asked for a response to Pittman’s claims, Flames’ coach Kevin Thompson didn’t mince words. “That’s just head games,”

will be playing for France. The two are the first WolfPack alums to compete in an Olympic Games, in any sport. Coupled with alumni Casey Knight and Brad Gunter playing for Canada’s national B team and a trio of current Wolves — including Taylor-Parks — trying out for Canada’s national junior team this past week in Gatineau, TRU is developing quite the reputation on the international stage. “We talk about developing guys for the next level — professional and national teams — and those examples are there. We don’t have to talk about, ‘We hope to do that.’ As a program, we have developed some guys,” said WolfPack head coach Pat Hennelly. “You can talk about what you want to do but we can talk about what we’ve already done. Most kids, in any sport, they want to represent their country, they would love the opportunity to be on the national team. To have an example like that is extremely beneficial.” For his part, Perrin said his time at Thompson Rivers University gave him an opportunity to shine and prepare for an international career. He has also played professionally 10th Annual

in Poland, Turkey and Italy. He said Hennelly was a mentor for him both on and off the volleyball court in Kamloops and has established an impressive program in the Tournament Capital. “He has developed himself as one of the best coaches in the country at finding talent and preparing them to perform at a high level,” Perrin said of Hennelly. “He has done a lot for me, he has done a lot for other players, to grow their games.” At junior national team tryouts in Gatineau with Taylor-Parks, Hennelly said the real work is still ahead for Canada. The nation is far from a volleyball powerhouse and will be in tough at the 12-team tournament, which will also include Brazil, Italy, the United States, France, Mexico, Poland, Russia, Argentina, Iran, Cuba and Egypt. Still, the achievement was not diminished for the longtime coach. “It’s a pretty special moment,” he said. “To see some of the senior team guys come back . . . it’s just a great environment here right now — a special moment in Canadian volleyball.”

he said. “We didn’t make it because we had a whole bunch of sick guys and guys who had suspensions. We had nine guys who could come to the game. It has got nothing to do with that — we don’t play games. “That’s ridiculous for him to say that. He should phone me if he’s got attitude about that.” The Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League never disappoints. Head games and conspiracy theories aside, the table is set for a tight finish in the race to the playoffs. South Okanagan leads the standings, its 8-3-1 record through 12 games one better than Kamloops’ 8-3-0 record though 11. The Vernon Tigers, meanwhile, are third at 7-1-1, but have only played nine games and faced the fourth-place Kelowna Raiders (2-9-0) last night after KTW’s press deadline. They take on the fifthplace Shamrocks (1-10-0) tonight. Pittman said both the Tigers and Flames are stiff competition for the league title — Vernon a bit more talented, South Okanagan harder working. And everyone gets up to take on Kamloops, he said. The Flames perhaps even more so now, given the last week’s events. “Everybody has a target on us. It’s no secret, every team in this league, if there’s one team to beat, it’s the Venom,” Pittman said. “They’re going to be ready to play and we’ll be even more ready.”

Last-place RiverDogs haven’t given up STAFF REPORTER

MIDGET AAA CLUB TO PLAY TWO GAMES IN KAMLOOPS THIS WEEKEND

If anything, Sean Wandler feels like the Kamloops Players Bench RiverDogs have been given the opportunity to surprise people. At the midway point of its B.C. Baseball season, there have certainly been tough moments for Kamloops’ midget AAA club. The Dogs have a 4-16 record. They’re in last place in their division. Starting centrefielder and senior Lucas Lott has almost certainly been lost for the remainder of the season after breaking his arm in two places sliding into third base a few weekends ago. But Wandler, the longtime manager of the RiverDogs, said the team’s attitude hasn’t wavered. Their goals are the same. Kamloops has had success against good teams — it beat the second-place Nanaimo Buccaneers 8-7 last weekend, for instance — and won its own tournament, the Victoria Day Classic, to end the month of May. “Guys are excited to come to practice. Guys are excited to learn,” Wandler said. “I mean, at the end of the day we’re all competitors, we all want to win — let’s not kid anybody. But hey, ultimately we know that all we can do is go in,

day in and day out, keep working on what we’re going to work on, keep fighting, keep getting better and we’ll see what happens.” This weekend, Kamloops will have the opportunity to do some climbing in the standings, on the road to face the 5-19 West Kelowna Dbacks before returning to Canada Games Field for a pair of games against the 10-13 Vancouver Mounties. The Dogs and Mounties play twice on Sunday, at 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. Kamloops defeated Vancouver earlier this season and will get its first look at West Kelowna in Saturday’s games. Wandler said the expectation will be the same this weekend as any other. No matter where in the standings the Dogs’ opponent is, the approach is the same. “We’ll just play it by ear, go out every day. I mean, we go out to compete every day, we go out to be successful every day,” he said. “We’ll compete against these teams. Hopefully, we have some really good games and we’ll see what happens.” The RiverDogs can be buoyed by the fact all eight teams in B.C. Baseball’s 18-and-

under tier 1 division will receive berths to this year’s provincial championship, the first round of which will be a best-of-three series played in the higher seed’s home park. Wandler said he still likes his team’s potential. The club is still working and developing. Regardless of how the rest of this season goes, the future is bright. He hopes, as things go along, the RiverDogs can surprise a few more teams. They have 20 games in the books, but there’s still 20 more to play. “I think the nature of what we have here, with every team making the playoffs, yeah I guess there’s an opportunity for everybody,” Wandler said. “Anything can happen in that first round. I think everybody has a shot when it comes down to a playoff weekend and you just want to build for success up that point.” RiverDogs’ shortstop Rhys McKenzie makes a throw in action earlier this season. Kamloops will be home to the Vancouver Mounties on Sunday. ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

Kamloops Classic Swimming club member Tristin Kicia competes in the 200-metre individual medley last weekend at the Kamloops June Classic Invitational Swim Meet at the Canada Games Aquatic Centre. The host team finished atop the podium.

Strong showing at June Classic

The Kamloops Classic Swimming club captured 81 medals to win the 24th annual Kamloops June Classic Invitational Swim Meet last weekend. The meet included 487 swimmers from 27 clubs representing Alberta, the Northwest Territories, Yukon and B.C.

The Classics’ medal haul included 26 gold medals, 34 silver medals and 21 bronze medals. Among the leaders for the Kamloops club was Eloise Ladyman, who captured three gold medals in the 15-and-over girls’ age group, finishing first in the 50-metre, 100m

and 200m backstroke events. She also made the senior national time standard for the 100m backstroke, qualifying for 2016 Canadian Swimming Championships in Edmonton this summer. Ethan Jensen and Ryder Litke captured

three gold medals each at the meet, Jensen’s in the 15-and-over boys’ 50m and 100m butterfly and the 200m backstroke and Litke’s in the 10-and-over boys’ 100m butterfly, 50m backstroke and 50m freestyle. Meanwhile, Ashley Bagabuyo and Sophie Ogilvie achieved time

standards qualifying them for the Canadian Age Group Championships in Calgary this summer. In other time standards, Adam Vukusic, Tristin Kicia, Jude Giles and Sienna Angove achieved Swim BC AA provincial long course time standards at the meet.

PARIS — France’s billing as one of the European Championship favourites means nothing to captain Hugo Lloris, who is demanding a strong start in today’s opening match against Romania. The match kicks off Euro 2016 at noon. Although France is in good form, scoring 13 goals in the past four matches, it has played only friendly games since losing to Germany in the World Cup quarter-finals two years ago. “There’s a lot of expectation. We know the importance of this match, how important it is to make a good start,’’ Lloris said yesterday at the pre-match news conference. “We’ve played friendlies for two years and there have been a lot of positives, but things start for real tomorrow.’’ France has international pedigree, winning the 1998 World Cup and the Euros in 1984 and 2000. But since reaching the 2006 World Cup final it has been a fading force in a decade dominated by Spain, winner of the past two Euros and the 2010 World Cup, and by Germany, which won the last World Cup. First round exits at Euro 2008 and at the 2010 World Cup — a shambolic campaign featuring an embarrassing players’ strike — dented confidence hugely. Although form was regained

two years ago at the World Cup, France’s performances in Brazil still lacked the panache of old. “We’ve done nothing, we haven’t proved anything compared to Germany and Spain,’’ Lloris said. “But playing on home soil gives us a little bit of an advantage and we have to use it.’’ The 29-year-old Lloris, one of the Premier League’s best goalkeepers for Tottenham, stands to win his 76th cap. “For everyone it’s the most important competition of their career. If you ask my teammates, they’d say the same,’’ he said. “As long as we have this spirit, the hunger to win tackles, I have no doubts.’’ However, Romania coach Anghel Iordanescu is pretty confident he has France figured out. “They have some shortcomings at the back,’’ he said. “We’ve worked with the video analysts

to devise a team plan. Our plan is to compete on an even footing.’’ Romania prides itself on a rock-solid defence after conceding only two goals in 10 games in qualifying, giving Iordanescu the firm belief his side can get an upset. “I’m sure our players are ready to overcome the spells of pressure and domination they’re likely to face,’’ he said. “We don’t simply want to defend; we want to have a balanced style of play and cause problems for the French.’’ France coach Didier Deschamps expects Romania’s players will hunt his players down relentlessly and make good use of whatever possession they get. “They’re very well organized in defence, but they can also close you down high up and force you into mistakes,’’ he said. “They can break quickly from defence to attack with their fast, technical players.’’ Rather than adopting a patient, probing approach like Spain does, rapid passing to feed its quick wingers may be the best option for France. “I prefer to play more directly even if it means taking more risks,’’ Deschamps said. “I don’t think I have the right team to hold the ball and wear teams down. I think we have a team more capable of accelerating play.’’

The Parish Priest is Rev. Fr. Roman Trynoha SERVICES ARE IN ENGLISH

he role of fathers in Canadian families has seen colossal changes in the last decades. In the past, fathers were outsiders when babies were born. The man’s role was to chauffeur the expectant mother to the hospital, wait outside the delivery room and pass out cheers when the doctor declared that mother and child were fine. Today, when babies are born, fathers are expected to be in the delivery room to feel the release of emotion in birth experience with the mother. They have to experience the joy as well as the bawling on seeing the new life come into the world. Being a parent today also means the dad playing an active role in the daily physical and emotional life of his children. This new code of behaviour means the “corporate warriors” are supposed to go home to be with their children. And mothers, while still keeping the home fires burning, have to also work outside the home for economic survival, as well as advancing their own careers. If men are competent to parent, what stops them from engaging in more family work? While many men may want to be more involved, they have not been prepared for extensive roles in parenting either through family socialization or formal education. In our post-industrial culture, getting back to the involved father role involves an act of pioneering for most men.

NARYAN MITRA

You Gotta Have

FAITH

Men must figure out how to balance their breadwinner and nurturer roles and bring up the next generation with values that will serve the kids well. This requires a leap, not only in conscious attitudes and behaviours, but also the implicit gut-level assumptions about what is appropriate for the children. What does the church have to say to men today that will help them make the leap into fatherhood? The most important resource for helping a man become a caregiving father is probably sitting right next to him in the pew. Some pre-parenting support at the church and community levels could help both the parents to prepare. Changing behaviour by helping men realize the benefits to their own psychological health is a good first step for churches to take. Not only do men who are involved in day-to-day care of children reap real benefits, their children are also helped by male nurturing.

Benefits for the children of caregiving fathers are well documented. Fathers provide distinct model behaviours for children which is different from mothers. Children who have a caregiving father have advantages over those with traditional fathers. Adjusting our perceptions to how families work does not necessarily mean altering church doctrine or biblical theology. However, discovering how the community which our church serves has altered may call for adaptation of style and behaviour. Taking the time to consider what we can do to help individuals meet new expectations would make our congregations a place of leadership in the community. Patterns help predict the future. The future includes men with their children. That is good news for husbands, wives, and children. Being relevant to busy couples who want to put family first means helping them move beyond the traditional role models of the 1950s and move with the new needs of the family in the 21st century. Having church leaders who are aware of the importance of men in childbearing will help in the understanding of new patterns. If the church want to update the caricatures of families past with the realities of families in the present, it would give the church the opportunity to continue influencing the community in other realms in the future as well. ryanmitra225@gmail.com

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two set of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. “Lord, you said that once I decided to followed you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me.” The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”

Leonard Stephen Marchand

In Loving Memory Of

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

John William Bagg

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.

February 17, 1927 June 10, 2015

Close in our hearts you will always stay. Loved and remembered everyday.

Alice, Bob & Lila, Ed & Kim and families

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.

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.

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.

Celebrating The Life Of Richard (Rick) Chesley Dunbar

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”.

Born July 9, 1935 in Montreal, Quebec and died peacefully on June 4, 2016 after a sudden illness. Barb is survived by her brother Geoff (Kim) and sister Pamela (Dennis) Peacock, nephews Gary (Pam) and Ian (Megan), nieces Melinda (Tom) Williamson and Andrea, and numerous grandnieces and nephews, and one newly arrived great-grandniece. She was predeceased by her parents, Eric and Kathleen, her brother Rick and her nephew Jim (Kathryn). As a child, Barb lived in Montreal, Sarnia, Edmonton, Winnipeg, and Vancouver with her family, but settled in Kamloops in 1953. She started working at the law firm now known as Fulton & Co. in 1954, first as a stenographer, and later as the corporate records manager, until her retirement 41 years later. She loved her work and her work colleagues and took tremendous pride in running a tight ship. In her younger years Barb enjoyed annual vacations in Hawaii with her parents and Pamela, sipping margaritas and soaking up the sun. Her nieces and nephews all have unforgettable memories of trips with Barb to the Enchanted Forest and for the girls, to McLeod, the Davis family ancestral home, and the Calgary Stampede. Barb was a lifelong Canucks, Lions and Blazers fan. She belonged to PEO and Beta Sigma Phi and was an avid bridge player. Through these pursuits she made many dear friends. Physically limited by polio as a child and more so as she aged, Barb lived her life fully, though vicariously, through her nieces and nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews. Her home was filled with cards, photos, mementos and letters from her family and those close to her and it was clear that she cherished these memories. Barb loved it when Pamela came up from the coast for visits and the two shopped and cavorted. Pamela is at least partially responsible for Barb’s massive wardrobe and shoe collection (and vice versa). Barb could regularly be found with Geoff cruising Aberdeen Mall and having a coffee at Blenz. Having Geoff “drive” her wheelchair was always hair-raising for Barb, and shoppers were no doubt amused by their banter and her frequent admonishments for how Geoff manhandled her wheelchair and her. She loved her siblings, despite her grumblings, and they loved her and did much to make her life as comfortable and fulfilling as possible. Barb will be remembered for her sharp wit and mind, her generosity and her indomitable spirit. She will be missed. Thank you to Barb’s physician, Dr. Jeevyn Chahal, for her care over these last difficult years. In lieu of flowers, donations to Royal Inland Hospital Foundation (http://rihfoundation.ca/ ways-to-give/memorials), where Barb received such excellent care over the years, would be greatly appreciated by Barb and her family There will be no service, but we ask that all of you that knew Barb take a moment on July 9th, 2016, her birthday, to reflect on your memories of her and, perhaps, raise a glass of sherry (her favourite) in her honour.

Common Secrets ‘deeply personal to Kamloops’ DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

ricia Sellmer didn’t answer her phone when Vicci Ryan called her. The reason for the phone call had to do with Chazou Gallery, which the Kamloops artist owns and where Ryan works. Ryan was delighted when she learned the reason there was no pick up — Sellmer was painting, something she stopped doing when her long-time friend Jann Bailey died last year.

She’s not the only one who lost the desire to create when the Kamloops Art Gallery executive director died suddenly last October. Since opening a new exhibit at the Victoria Street gallery in honour of Bailey, other artists have come in to share their sense of loss in the last seven months and their inability to pick up a brush or try to sculpt. “This one is so deeply personal to

Kamloops,” Ryan said of Common Secrets, which features Sellmer’s paintings — many of them Bailey’s favourites — and music by Joi FreedGarrod, a member of a book club Bailey began years ago. One artist who was involved with Bailey when she took over the job in 1987 sat on a couch and cried as she talked about her feelings, Ryan said. The next day, she called to say she had started creating art again.

“It was a cathartic opening,” Ryan said, with one of Bailey’s sisters and many of her friends in attendance. Even the appetizers served had a link to Bailey, crudites topped with a roasted tomato sauce she created from heirloom tomatoes another book club member grew and shared with her. The recipe is available in the gallery. The food link carried over to the book club, one that saw

many like-minded women get together to read, drink wine, share recipes and simply be together. It’s what inspired the exhibit name, Ryan said, as the women were “sharing pieces of each other, the kinds of things

women talk about, and then became the common secrets of the group.” There were other overlapping links between Sellmer and Bailey; one creates art that looks like gardens and the other loved to spend as much time as

she could in her own. One of Sellmer’s works, In Her Garden, was on the stage during Bailey’s memorial service and is included in the exhibition; others, including Bridge Over Trouble Waters, a series of five tulipfocused pieces, are

there because they were finished and on display in New York City when Bailey died but Sellmer is confident her friend would have loved them, too. Exhibitions usually have catalogues available explaining the works but, for Common Secrets, there is simply a handout with the story of the book club, which also counted Sellmer as a member. She writes in it about flowers and women getting together to share common interests. The gallery is at 791 Victoria St. It is usually open Wednesdays to Fridays from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Private viewings can be arranged by calling 250-3740488 or by email to chazou@telus.net. Common Secrets will be on display to the end of June.

ueen Victoria must have been a pretty savvy woman. Sure, she had good advisors, but ultimately, on Dec. 31, 1857, it was up to the 38-year-old Queen to pick the capital of the Empire’s colony. Ottawa, a hinterland city that still held pig races in its muddy streets, seemed an odd choice. It was far away from the colony’s main cities, Quebec City and Montreal in what was then called Canada East, and Kingston and Toronto in Canada West. But with the Rideau Canal serving as a vital transportation link, lots of forest to protect it from possible American invasion, a tactical hilltop location overlooking the Ottawa River and, most importantly, strategically placed between the French and English speaking populations, the designated city quickly grew into its vision as a capital. As I checked into Ottawa’s castle-like Fairmont Chateau Laurier hotel, I found myself thinking about the Queen quite a bit. Given the royal surroundings and view of Parliament Hill, I was sure she would have been impressed. It was October when I visited. I had come to visit Hanna, my late friend’s 18-year-old daughter. I wanted to give her a break from her residency life at the University of Ottawa. Besides, it was time for the next generation to learn the art of living well. Hanna settled into one of our suite’s wing-backed chairs, “Nice,” she said. “Very nice.” Saturday morning looked like a perfect day for a bike ride. We went to the front desk with a bicycle rental brochure. “Your room number please?” The young woman scrolled through her screen. “As a member of the Fairmont President’s Club, you won’t need this.” She gently removed the brochure from my hand.

Queen Victoria chose Ottawa as the capital in 1857 construction of the Parliament buildings (above) began two years later.

“I’ll call the valet to bring up the complimentary bikes.” Soon, we were wheeling our lovely white BMW bikes along the canal path. The leaves were flames of crimson, pumpkin and gold, swirling and cracking in the stiff winds that gusted off the canal. Briefly the skies darkened and gritty snow spun around our heads and then, just as quickly, it changed back to bright clouds and sun. At Dows Lake, we turned back to the hotel. It was time, as I’m sure the Queen would have agreed, for high tea at the Chateau Laurier. Our table was near the window and overlooking the bundled pedestrians on the street made our spot all the more comforting. The server came with the

large tea trolley. “Are there any teas you prefer?” With each of our answers, she measured loose tea leaves into a silver tea cup so we could inhale the fragrance prior to deciding. “If you like this, I’d recommend trying this other one too.” Finally, we made our decisions. Hanna chose the apricot and peach blend. I picked my favourite scent of bergamot. Soon, I was sipping the Fairmont’s own special Earl Grey blend. The three-tiered trays arrived. Truffled egg salad sandwiches, lightly-smoked ham and brie, salmon pinwheel — the tiny sandwiches started to add up. Then we moved to the upper tray; salted-caramel chocolate tart, poppy seed cake and the crusty softness of a macaroon. Groaning, we finally quit.

After all, we were planning on attending the Poutine Fest on Sparks Street that night. I was sure even Victoria would have stepped out with the commoners for a piping hot plate of poutine. The weekend went by too fast. There was shopping, the National Art Gallery, the Parliament tour, the Byward Market, art galleries and the foottapping gospel Sunday brunch at Fatboys Smokehouse. But we both agreed it was Saturday night’s dinner that topped the chart. At first, I was skeptical of the restaurant’s concept — Mexican and Asian cuisine? It sounded gimmicky with potential for disaster, but came highly recommended. The halibut in the fish taco

starter was crisped in a thin skiff of tempura batter and placed on soft thin pancakes. I consider myself a fish taco aficionado, but these were the best I’ve ever tasted. The sashimi outdid the tacos, the green papaya salad topped the sashimi and, when I tucked into the jasmine rice and butter curry lobster, I nearly cried. Life, like stormy weather, can knock you sideways. So when those skies clear, do yourself a favour — spend a little time living like royalty. Visit the city where Canada started — Queen Victoria knew what she was doing. Ottawa is capital. Travel Writers’ Tales is an independent travel article syndicate.
