Chickens have come home to roost in Kamloops. At a public hearing Tuesday night, Kamloops council finally put an end to the drawn-out issue, voting 6-3 in favour of allowing even small city lots to own a limited number of egg-laying hens, subject to various rules in the bylaw, which will come into effect on June 21. Until now, only properties a minimum of one acre in size were allowed to house hens in a coop. Councillors Marg Spina, Donovan Cavers, Arjun Singh, Dieter Dudy, Denis Walsh and Tina Lange voted in favour of allowing hens, while Mayor Peter Milobar and councillors Ken Christian and Pat Wallace cast votes in opposition.

Fulton Field will soon be home to “no drone zone” signs, but the airport’s manager wants to look at expanding their footprint. Marc Garneau, Canada’s minister of transport, announced a program this week to bring signage to the nation’s airports. They are designed to encourage safe flying of UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicle), or drones, particularly for aircraft safety. Kamloops Airport manager Fred Legace said it’s a welcome move, noting airport staff found an abandoned drone on the airport side of the fence last year. The operator was forced to abandon it due to the fence security. “It ran out of gas and landed

drone signage. Legace said discussion will include also placing the no-drone signs in parks and areas where people gather. While he would like to see signage expanded, Legace said he recognizes enthusiasts should be directed to approved spaces. “They’re talking about areas where they can’t [fly[,” he said. “How about where they can?” On its website, Transport Canada recommends drones stay at least nine kilometres from airports without permission of the agency. Transport Canada also recommends keeping drones within 300 feet of the ground, at least 500 feet from people, animals, buildings, structures or vehicles, away from busy streets and bridges and freeways and away from first responders at emergency sites.

A pledge by SaveOn-Foods representatives Tuesday to further restrict wines it will sell in its Sahali store was enough to convince two councillors to uncork debate on the contentious issue. Kamloops council voted in favour of reconsidering a variance application to allow the grocery store in Columbia Square to sell wine in one of its aisles, occupying 1,400 square feet of the store. Two councillors, Tina Lange and Marg Spina, flip-flopped from a vote last month that denied Save-On permission to sell wine, meaning council will receive a new report from staff, will hear more public comments and will again vote on the application. No date has yet been set for the next series of meetings.

where we found it,” Legace said. On another occasion, Legace was forced to confront a remote aircraft operator who was flying his machine at the softball diamond beside the airfield. “He was there flying and it was 200 or 300 feet in the air,” Legace said, noting current Transport Canada rules are difficult to enforce because it requires Transport Canada inspectors. RCMP officers are expected to be trained, however. Transport Canada is looking at changes in rules governing the use of UAVs, including establishing categories of drones, simplifying registration and bringing in requirements for marking. The Kamloops Airport Authority Society has a meeting scheduled next week that includes an agenda item on

When the provincial government brought in legislation last year allowing B.C. wines to be sold in grocery stores that had the applicable licences, Kamloops council amended its bylaw to ban new liquor sales from within one kilometre of existing liquor stores without council approval. Shortly after, SaveOn-Foods bought the wine-selling licence from Discover Wines, which had operated metres away in the same strip mall. Last month, following much discussion from the B.C. Wine Institute, local winery owners, Save-OnFoods and owners of private liquor stores in the city, council voted 5-2 against Save-On’s request, with Spina, Lange, Pat Wallace, Denis Walsh and Donovan Cavers opposed and Ken Christian and Dieter Dudy in favour.

Kamloops Sailing Association still in limbo CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

City sailors are no closer to finding a home after failing to come to terms with the new property owner at Nicola Lake. The Douglas Lake Cattle Company purchased neighbouring Quilchena Ranch in January 2015, taking over its extensive acreage as well as the historic hotel, golf course and RV park. That included the waterfront property leased by the Kamloops Sailing Association for more than two decades — a legacy of the 1993 Canada Summer Games. Nicola Lake is just north of Merritt along Highway 5A. John Drayton, a longtime member of the Kamloops Sailing Association, calling the remaining members “a transient group. “We’re down to our Lasers,” he said of the popular racing dinghy. While members are trailering to local lakes for racing, the club has placed its own boats into storage. Drayton said it is rotating to local lakes within about an hour of the city, including Mamette Lake, Stump Lake and Kamloops Lake at Tobiano. The annual regatta is on hiatus. With no obvious replacement, Drayton said the club will remain without a home for the foreseeable future. The Douglas Lake Cattle Company filed an application earlier this year to move a proposed addition to the Quilchena RV park near the waterfront and build a small marina at the former sailing site. Barb Jackson, a planner with the Thompson-Nicola Regional District, said the company must gain approval from the Agricultural Land Commission and TNRD board. The land commission has not rendered its decision. The project would include a permanent clubhouse, replacing the trailers once used by the club. Submitted drawings show a marina with 25 boat slips. Jackson said a gas bar is no longer part of Douglas Lake’s plans after a number of people objected to the idea. The regional district designates Nicola Lake water quality as “critical.” It is marred by artificial nutrients and high algae counts. Drayton said the sailing club has not ruled out returning to its old site on new terms once Douglas Lake has established its plans.

The Kamloops Sailing Association will go through the summer without a home lake as its Nicola Lake site has been lost to development plans by the Douglas Lake Cattle Company. KTW FILE PHOTO

The ex-girlfriend of a Salmon Arm man standing trial for first-degree murder in connection to a high school love triangle turned deadly was painted in court this week as “the mastermind” behind the 2008 murder plot. Tyler Myers, 22, was shot to death in a Salmon Arm schoolyard on Nov. 21, 2008. The 24-year-old man standing trial for his death cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act because he was 16 when Myers was killed. The accused’s ex-girlfriend, now a 25-yearold woman, is also charged with first-degree murder and will stand trial later this year. She cannot be named because she was 17 when Myers died. The accused were charged four years after the slaying, at the end of a months-long RCMP Mr. Big undercover operation that culminated in confessions from both suspects. In B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops on Tuesday, jurors watched more than two hours of a video recording taken the day after the male accused’s arrest in November 2012. In the recording, RCMP Sgt. Rob Burrett convinces the male accused to come clean and explain how the murder plot unfolded. The male accused started crying in the video, telling Burrett he hasn’t slept through the night since Myers was killed. “Did he deserve to die?” Burrett asked.

“No one deserves to die,” the male accused replied. “Why did something like this happen, then?” Burrett asked. “Because of her,” said the male accused. “I was her bitch in every sense of the word.” The male accused went on to tell Burrett the female accused, who was dating both him and Myers at the time, told him Myers planned to attack the male accused’s family. “She told me he was going to come to my house and beat the shit out of my whole family,” he said. “Those were her exact words. I was scared.” The male accused told Burrett he wanted to go to police, but the female accused told him she had tried and was told there was nothing they could do. “I just listened to her,” he said. The friction stemmed from an altercation between Myers and the male accused at the female accused’s house 11 days before the murder, according to the video. The male accused told Burrett he walked in on the female accused and Myers together in bed, then asked for a word with Myers. He said Myers pushed him and he ran away. Then, he said, the female accused started to talk about removing Myers from the picture. “She just said she wants to get rid of him,” the male accused told Burrett. “I was just so stupidly, irrationally, illogically in love with her. I was 16

years old. I was scared, I was confused. I just felt like she was this absolute angel.” On the day of the murder, the male accused said, he cut class with the female accused and a friend. Jurors heard that’s when the plan was hatched. That evening, the male accused hid out with a borrowed rifle in a stand of trees on the schoolyard of Bastion elementary. The female accused, he said, lured Myers to the area to be shot. “She called me and said, ‘Are you ready? We’re coming down,’” the male accused told Burrett, describing the female accused as “the mastermind.” “I said, ‘Yup.’ I was shaking.” The male accused, who told Burrett he had never shot a gun before killing Myers, said he shot his romantic rival once from his hideout in the trees before emerging and firing two more shots — both, he said, at the request of the female accused. “I just shot,” he said. “I don’t know where it hit him. He was just standing there looking around. “He was just on the ground and she said, ‘Shoot him in the head.’ “She looked at me and said, ‘You did good, babe,’ and gave me a kiss.” Myers was struck with three bullets — two in his back and one in the back of his head. The Crown closed its case yesterday and the accused male began testifying late yesterday. Go to kamloopsthisweek.com for updates.

The bylaw will prohibit the inclusion of roosters or chicks and will limit the number of hens at each address to between two and five. All hen owners much build a fully enclosed coop that must be within a fully enclosed yard and at least three metres (10 feet) from the door or window of the home. Neither the eggs laid, nor the meat of the hens, may be bought or sold, and all hen owners will be asked to voluntarily register online. Nine members of the public spoke at the public hearing, with five speaking in favour, two stating their opposition and two with no opinion, but raising issues with the drafted bylaw. Those speaking against the bylaw cited noise, smell and the possibility of attracting rodents and wildlife. Those speaking in favour said raising hens in backyards speaks to food security and can be educational in teaching urbanites where their food originates.

not going to touch it again — and neither is a bear.” Milobar has been opposed to the bylaw from the beginning. “There are so many different areas of food security we could be addressing and are trying to address,” he said, adding his main concern was the fact the city was allowing hens on the smallest of lots — 370 square metres (4,000 square feet) — in one step. Milobar also expressed doubts all hen owners will adhere to the setbacks required in the bylaw. Christian likewise voted against the bylaw, arguing talk of the hens connecting people with food-source knowledge was a bit “romantic.” “I don’t believe we have an egg shortage in Kamloops,” Christian said. “I also don’t believe we need chickens in our backyards to know where eggs come from any more than we need

to slaughter a goat in our backyard to know how goat meat comes to us.” Cavers addressed concerns raised by opponents, zeroing in on the concern with the amount of feces to be produced by the hens. “Dogs produce a lot more crap than chickens do,” he said. While Spina and Lange said legalizing hen ownership on smaller lots will likely not lead to a serious spike in the birds, Wallace suggested otherwise. “I hope our bylaw people are well-rested because once this gets underway, I think they’re going to get busier,” she said. Bonnie Klohn of the Kamloops Food Policy Council spoke in favour of the bylaw and reiterated her group’s willingness to offer support as a community partner in the form of education. Klohn noted she had first appeared before council on the matter in 2009 and called the bylaw “one of the most thorough reports we have seen.” The bylaw includes a maximum $10,000 budget for the bylaw department to cover the construction of a chicken pound (coop), training and equipment to catch wayward hens.

Frank Ritcey, an Aberdeen resident with WildSafe BC, a program designed to reduce human-wildlife conflict, urged council to add mandatory electric fencing to its bylaw to deter bears from entering yards with hens. In the end, Ritcey’s suggestion was not adopted. He said there were more than 1,100 calls in B.C. last year concerning wildlife/livestock conflict, noting virtually none of those calls included properties with electric fencing. “Once a bear gets into a chicken coop, it’s going to come back again and again,” Ritcey said, noting Williams Lake, Kaslo and Squamish are three communities that have added electric fencing their urban-hen bylaws. When asked by Lange about the dangers of electric fencing, Ritcey said 7,500 volts is the minimum required and will not permanently damage a person. “Electric fencing is designed to hurt, not harm,” he said. “A two-year-old is

Sentencing today for crime spree TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Crown wants a five-year prison sentence for a gender-transitioning Kamloops woman who used a fake handgun to rob a mentally disabled man before breaking into two nearby homes and threatening the residents. Sarah Chalifoux-Schneider pleaded guilty in B.C. Supreme Court to seven charges — three firearms offences, two counts of break-and-enter and one each of robbery and mischief — stemming from a violent incident that unfolded in North Kamloops last fall. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley will deliver a sentence this morning. Court heard ChalifouxSchneider and a male accomplice walked up to a mentally disabled 52-year-old man walking along Halston Avenue on Oct. 15, 2015. Crown prosecutor Laura Drake said ChalifouxSchneider pointed the fake handgun at the man and

said, “What have you got for money?” When he failed to turn over cash, and told them he had nothing but his cowboy hat, his Cheezies and his glasses, court heard, Chalifoux-Schneider began to beat him, knocking him to the ground in the middle of Halston Avenue and kicking him in the face. “Because the incident took place in the middle of the street, it was witnessed by at least two people who called 911,” Drake said, noting one of those witnesses was an off-duty corrections officer who recognized ChalifouxSchneider’s accomplice, James Anderson Jr. The officer watched the pair enter a nearby apartment building on Kimberly Court. Drake said the first apartment unit ChalifouxSchneider entered was occupied by a sleeping family of six. The father woke up when he heard banging on his front door. “He went to the front entrance and saw a woman walk into his house holding

a handgun,” Drake said. “She pointed the gun at [him] and said she was here to collect.” The man told ChalifouxSchneider she had the wrong house, so she broke into another nearby apartment unit and pointed her fake gun at a resident when confronted. Drake said the resident was able to wrestle the gun away from ChalifouxSchneider and push her out of his home. She fled, but not before smashing the window of a vehicle parked outside. Chalifoux-Schneider was arrested a short time later. Police eventually determined the gun was made of plastic. At an earlier hearing, Drake said the mentally disabled victim was more than shaken by the incident. “He is quite a lowfunctioning individual and this event had a very severe impact on him,” she said at Chalifoux-Schneider’s bail hearing in December. Drake asked for a sentence of five years behind bars, given the seriousness of the robbery and break-ins and

the fact the three firearms offences to which ChalifouxSchneider pleaded guilty each carry a mandatory oneyear minimum sentence. Chalifoux-Schneider has a lengthy record and was on probation for an earlier break-and-enter conviction at the time of the Halston Avenue offences. Defence lawyer Michelle Stanford pitched a prison term in the range of three to four years. Stanford said ChalifouxSchneider, who has been in custody since the offence, realized while behind bars she feels like a man, noting the “transitioning issues” might have played a role in the violent crime spree. “She has never felt like she was a woman,” Stanford said. “She did not want to be a woman and preferred to be a man. She has finally began to address that and is going through the stages of transition.” Chalifoux-Schneider apologized for her actions. “Jail is the best thing that’s ever happened for me,” she said. “I’m truly, deeply sorry.”

Barbecues won’t be only things smoking Kamloops councillors have decided to vary a ban on smoking in city parks to allow a designated area within the beer garden at this summer’s Ribfest. Organizers of Daybreak Rotary Ribfest, which will be held between Aug. 5 and Aug. 7, asked for the exemption to the bylaw instituted by city council. Mayor Peter Milobar said permitting the designated smoking area will allow better crowd control. Without it, smokers would be forced to leave the park and may not be let back in the beer garden if numbers are too large.

Coun. Denis Walsh supported industrial taxes in British Columbia allowing a smoking area with Ribfest among municipalities that host our beer garden, adding: “I always competitors and this continues to thought we went too far put our operation with our smoking ban.” at a competitive • Domtar Corp. disadvantage,” genCity Hall wants to pay lower eral manager Carol municipal taxes at its Lapointe wrote.

Mayor Peter Milobar and Coun. Arjun Singh stepped away from the discussion and vote as Milobar owns a private liquor store and Singh’s brotherin-law is Al Deacon, the owner of Fox ’N Hounds Pub and Sahali Liquor Store and a vocal opponent of Save-On’s plans. On Tuesday, after Save-On representatives vowed to sell only 100 per cent certified B.C. VQA wines, Lange and Spina joined Christian and Dudy in voting to restart the application process. Under previous wording, the store would have been permitted to sell cheaper non-VQA wines mixed in B.C., as well as cider and sake. “I want it to be very strict on what they’re selling,” Lange told council. Another vote, with public presentations, will be held at a later date. “One hundred per cent VQA and knowing what Discover Wines sold — that makes sense to me,” said Spina. Neil Allkins, the manager of the Sahali grocer, repeatedly reminded councillors it was seeking only to move

the former Discover Wines licence and product “30 feet” to Save-On-Foods. “We’re not asking to bring a new licence to Kamloops,” Allkins said. “We have an existing licence.” Allkins said experience at other Save-On-Foods outlets has shown the average price for a bottle sold is $18.85. Corporate representatives pledged to feature and sell every locally produced wine. They also said the focus is on premium wines with a premium price — not to sell cut-priced loss-leaders. “We’re disappointed,” Deacon told reporters outside. “We’ve learned to work with the two models: government and private. It’s been a tough slog for may of us. There’s some who can’t afford this.” Miles Prodan, executive director of the B.C. Wine Institute, credited SaveOn-Foods representatives with turning the tide at council, adding potential sale of non-VQA wines “has been put to rest.” “We know at private stores, VQA wines represent four to five per cent of sales,” he said. “This is not eating into that [private sales] at all.”

Domtar noted the average property taxes paid last year by pulp and paper mills in those six communities was $3 million. Council took no action Tuesday on the request for a tax cut. In 2010, the federal government doled out $57 million in capital subsidies to the Kamloops pulp mill, part of a Conservative government program to counter subsidies at other North American operations.

PROVINCE, FEDS WILL MEET TO DISCUSS WINE, TRADE DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The federal government plans to send some of its trade officials to meet with counterparts from B.C. and the U.S. to talk about selling wine in grocery stores. Bert Hick of Rising Tide Consultants said he has heard from his contacts in the U.S. wine industry that the meeting comes amid concerns about the decision by B.C. to let licences to sell Vintner Quality Assurance (VQA) B.C. wines in grocery stores. Hick, who was general manager of the liquor control licensing branch of the government in the 1980s, said when he read a KTW story quoting Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone asserting there are no issues with any of the international trade agreements to which Canada is a party, he wondered why Stone would say this. â€œThis is incorrect,â€? Hick said of the MLAâ€™s remarks to KTW. â€œThere are serious issues around trade issues.â€? Austin Jean, spokesman for the federal governmentâ€™s Global Affairs Canada, said in an email response to questions from KTW the government is aware â€œthis issue has been raised by our partners and we are in communication with them. â€œOur government is committed to a collaborative working relationship with the provinces and territories. We will continue to engage with various trading partners on issues of mutual interest as well as with the provinces and territories.â€? When asked again about the meeting Hick referenced, Jean said

the emailed answer â€œis what we can provide at this time.â€? Hick, who through his firm provides liquor-licence consulting services, said VQA licences were created with the intent to be small wine stores in tourism areas. As such, he said, Canadaâ€™s trade partners paid little heed, viewing them â€œlike off-site wine stores.â€? He said allowing grocery chains to now sell the wines â€œis a significant change. â€œSmall grocery stores and independents canâ€™t compete in this game,â€? Hick said of recent auctions of existing and dormant VQA licences, which have sold for more than $1 million each to the Loblaw and Overwaitea (Save-On-Foods) chains. The concern is the exclusivity imposed â€” the stores can only sell B.C. wines â€” could be seen as a barrier to trade with other countries that are signatories to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) or the as-yet unratified CanadaEuropean Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement. Stone told KTW government lawyers and ministerial staff have reviewed trade obligations and are confident the limited number of VQA licences are well below the threshold set in the trade agreements to be considered a barrier. Hick, however, said â€œthe trade issue is very realâ€? and noted that the B.C. government has yet to provide legal documentation that backs up its belief there is no trade issue. NAFTA has a section on investment that includes an article on

what it calls national treatment. That section of the document states: 1. Each Party shall accord to investors of another Party treatment no less favourable than that it accords, in like circumstances, to its own investors with respect to the establishment, acquisition, expansion, management, conduct, operation, and sale or other disposition of investments. 2. Each Party shall accord to investments of investors of another Party treatment no less favourable than that it accords, in like circumstances, to investments of its own investors with respect to the establishment, acquisition, expansion, management, conduct, operation, and sale or other disposition of investments. 3. The treatment accorded by a Party under paragraphs 1 and 2 means, with respect to a state or province, treatment no less favourable than the most favourable treatment accorded, in like circumstances, by that state or province to investors, and to investments of investors, of the Party of which it forms a part. Hick said a successful NAFTA challenge could lead to grocery stores having to also stock wines from countries that are parties to the trade agreements. â€œAnd the smaller [B.C.] wineries in the stores will be frozen out,â€? he said. â€œWhy carry smaller B.C. wines when you have to import from the States?â€? Hick noted the Gallo Family Vineyards in California, with all of its subsidiary companies, is larger than the entire wine industry in B.C.

Kamloopsians are invited to a vigil in the wake of the mass killing in a gay nightclub in Orlando last weekend. Co-sponsored by Kamloops Pride and the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Kamloops, the vigil will be held tonight at Kamloops United Church, at Fourth Avenue and St. Paul Street. Representatives of many faiths groups and churches will take part, along with representatives of the LGBTQ+ community and other local organizations. â€œWe are all shaken and saddened,â€? said Rev. Helen McFadyen, a board member of the local Pride group. â€œThe vigil will offer a space and time to honour the deaths and to process our collective grief.â€? McFadyen said the shootings, which left 49 people dead and more than 50 injured, is â€œespecially hard. â€œSeems we take a step forward toward equality and inclusion, then something happens and our confidence is suddenly shaken to the core. â€œAs for Unitarians, we believe in the inherent worth and dignity of every person, so, for my congregation and really everyone who values human life, the tragedy in Orlando is a reminder of how fragile life is and how broken the world can be; there is much more to do to repair it,â€? she said.

U.S GUN CULTURE HAS TO CHANGE

ith more horrendous news coming out of the U.S. from yet another mass shooting, it’s easy for Canadians to fall into self-righteous mode and feel smug. But keep in mind — we’ve had our own incidents despite our gun-control laws. Not by any stretch of the imagination have we had as many as the U.S., but they have happened — including one of the worst in history just down the road in Vernon where nine people were slain one day in 1996. But, generally, our gun controls keep us safe, certainly safer than in the United States, where a cavalier attitude toward guns is a danger to its citizens and needs to be corrected. While there are millions of U.S. citizens who do oppose their lax gun laws, they face a formidable opponent in the National Rifle Association and a gun culture that is deeply entrenched in the country. Those in the U.S. who see the lunacy in allowing easy access to semi-automatic weapons need to be supported, not lumped in with a segment of American society dismissed as crazy, accompanied by a shrug of, “What do you expect?” It’s a complex issue. Powerful forces are aligned with the gun lobby and only a change in mentality along the lines of the civil-rights movement of the 1960s and other efforts to make American society more sensitive will bring about change. Americans who are horrified by these shootings will have to rise up in mass marches and demonstrations to stop more of these killings. Canadians can help and show support, but this issue is serious and needs more than the holier-than-thou attitude that we see far too often.

Kudos to council when due

ednesday morning was spent researching KTW archives, looking for what some city councillors have said as the wine-selling saga dragged on. There were quotes that led to mental, “Ah-ha! Hypocrites!” moments. For example, in July 2015, Pat Wallace said, on the potential of grocery stores being allowed to sell wine, she didn’t feel protecting one business [private liquor stores] over another [big grocery stores] is the role of council. Wallace changed her mind the following month, reviving the discussion. It made her statement declaring her opposition this week truly ironic, as she said on Tuesday she didn’t want to see the issue come back to a council that could “just turn around and change our minds.” Just last month, Tina Lange said, “Save-On-Foods will survive without selling wine in their aisles, but I’m not so sure that all the private liquor stores are going to do so well if this goes ahead. I think we need to honour that and protect that small business because small business is what Kamloops is all about.” Marg Spina said she believed it’s not “a good model for our city to have clusters of liquor stores in one area.” There were more examples, but their totality, along with a review of the stories colleague Andrea Klassen has written, led to a crucial observation: council did what the public wanted it to

Street

LEVEL do. It changed its mind. Sure, there were some comments on Tuesday about the many polls and surveys that popped up in the wake of council’s decision to deny the SaveOn variance so it could sell B.C. wines. Wallace mentioned her own survey showed only one of 20 she spoke with actually buy VQA-certified wines and that most were against council’s decision because “they don’t like being told what they can do.” While she stuck to her guns and voted against council’s decision to reconsider its previous action and hone in to clearly define what the grocery store was committing to sell in its aisles — just B.C. VQA wines and not ciders, coolers or other spirits — Wallace clearly identified the issue many Kamloopsians have with this council. They don’t feel they are being heard. This time, however, it’s clear most of council was listening and that’s to be lauded. That doesn’t mean it’s clear sailing for Save-On as the pro-

cess kicks into gear again with a report to be prepared by the city’s chief administrative officer, David Trawin. It goes back to council and becomes an agenda item on which the public can comment at an upcoming city council meeting. Then there’s the need to vote again on the revised plan the grocery store identified when it made its pitch to council to rethink what it had done. Of course, there remained a triumvirate opposed to the plan, although there was the irony of Donovan Cavers staying opposed after raising the spectre of potential impulse buying of wine and how dangerous that could be, despite acknowledging adults can make their own decisions. Someone should explain to him why food loss-leaders are in highly visible places and why chocolate-bar displays are at child level. As for Denis Walsh focusing on his own issue with how the provincial government has handled the entire liquor-sale issue? Not the time or place to raise it. The laws were changed, the ability for grocery stores to sell wine was clearly established and grumbling about politics seemed sorely out of place. When councillors do things one doesn’t agree with, it’s fine to call them on it. This is a time when it’s appropriate to thank councillors who realized their job is to represent their constituents, listen to the public and let that guide the way they proceed. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

YOUR OPINION

LOCAL NEWS

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR FRAZZLED BY FRAUD CALLS Editor: I would like to complain about the fraudulent phone calls I keep receiving. A few months ago, I complained to the fraud-alert line and they stopped coming for awhile. Now, they are back again, impersonating Canada Revenue, the police and our grandchildren. It is so busy on the fraud-alert line that you can hardly ever get through to complain. I would like to hear about some of these people being arrested and thrown in jail and having their phone privileges taken away. When Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and his buddies worked on the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, I do not think they intended it to give more rights to criminals. That seems to be what has happened. Irene Tates Kamloops

FIBRE-OPTIC INSTALLATION WOES Editor: I live on Gleneagles Drive in Upper Sahali. The Telus fibre-optic installation project crew chief assured me on several occasions they would restore my property to its original condition after completing underground work. I have taken photos showing their interpretation of a restored property. About three weeks after burying cables and filling trenches, they threw grass seed on top of the now weed-infested clay soil. No topsoil, no soil covering, no watering and no instructions or expectations for me. The trench from the street to my house (seeded three weeks ago) was well-watered by the recent rainy days, but there is still no grass showing and likely never will be. By now, much of the seed has been washed into clumps from the rainfall.

While digging the trench to bury the fibre-optic line, they dug up an Oregon grape plant, leaving it with its roots severely cut back and exposed to the sun for two days. I had to find the crew chief to tell him about it. For some reason, he seemed surprised and annoyed that I would want that put back. They dug a hole, jammed the plant into it and left. No good soil used, no watering and no instructions for me. Similar damage was done to a small flower bed. They never took pictures, obviously do not have a horticulturist on staff and no one has ever apologized or been back to check on their restoration efforts or to ask if I am satisfied. My neighbour told me she had not signed anything with the Telus fibre-optic installers. She said she had determined exactly what their

work would include, gave them her demands, including installed turf to cover the areas affected. She had the fibre-optic line installed and covered with turf to her specification within three days. It seems to me the crew chief appears to consider residents that are co-operative and considerate to be naive and an easy mark. That’s a bad mistake. Here are a few tips for residents: • be a demanding hard nose, not a co-operative and considerate resident; • don’t sign anything; • determine exactly what they are to install and take photographs. Have two copies of the photos signed by you and the crew chief. • set time limits for completion, in stages if possible. Marvin Dyck Kamloops

QUESTIONS ABOUND ABOUT PROPERTY TAXES Editor: We received our 2016 property-tax notice and, if compared to 2015, the increase is 6.6 per cent. I thought council was talking about an increase of two or three per cent? My friend in Nanaimo told me his taxes have only gone up $200 in the past 10 years. Ours have more than doubled in the past decade and we own an average home downtown.

The reason given for these increases is inflation, but I don’t think that’s true. Inflation is the increased cost of a product or service due to a change in supply and/or demand. Unless I am mistaken or forgetting something, not much has changed in the supply or demand of municipal services. Could it be increases in wages, benefits and overhead?

Is it a lot less expensive to live in Sun Rivers, as that is a privately organized community that sends lease payments to the Tk’emlups Indian Band? With no pools, no parks, no bus service and no unions, it must cost a fraction of what we in Kamloops pay to deliver the same services. Or am I missing something here?

What about the Thompson-Nicola Regional District? Does its residents see increases every year as well? I am not saying anything negative about the quality or quantity of the amazing services we do receive. I am just wondering about the cost and affordability of them. Brian Husband Kamloops

MP focusing on fine print Kamloops’ Conservative MP wants Canadians to be able to more easily read information on medication containers and other items. Cathy McLeod introduced her first private member’s bill in Parliament on Tuesday. Bill C-290 is entitled An Act to amend the Food and Drugs Act (machine-readable code). The bill amends the Food and Drugs Act so regulations may be made with respect to the addition of a machinereadable code, such as a quick response (QR) code, providing prescribed mandatory information and supple-

mentary product information to the label of all foods, drugs, cosmetics, devices and therapeutic products. “The impetus behind the bill is a complaint I have heard frequently from people not being able to read the very small print on medication,” McLeod said. “Adding a smartphone code would reflect the existing labelling on packaging and provide an additional option for the consumer. “They would simply use their smartphone by scanning the code on the package and have the information

KGHM Ajax expects the government review of its Ajax mine application to resume in October. Earlier this spring, the company was granted a break by the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office (BCEAO) in order to answer more than 2,000 community submissions on its openpit copper and gold mine portal south of Aberdeen. The open-ended extension stopped the 180-day review of the mine at day 107 until Ajax’s responses are deemed complete by the BCEAO. City council has postponed its final deliberations on the YVES LACASSE mine until KGHM Ajax responds to an 800-question submission from its consultant, SLR Consulting. In a June 3 letter to council, KGHM Ajax external-affairs manager Yves Lacasse said “we anticipate that the deliverables required to resolve technical review comments received and to transition to subsequent phases will be finalized in October 2016. “We understand that lack of certainty regarding timelines creates challenges for the city and public stakeholders,” Lacasse wrote. “However, our request for more review time reflects our commitment to a comprehensive EA. The additional time will be used to ensure that complete, integrated responses are provided to the public, working group and First Nations.”

Richmond Avenue between Schubert Drive and Eighth Street in North Kamloops will be the focus of a $1.2-million rehabilitation project this summer.

Shaping up streets in summer ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Expect to see a number of new road construction projects on Kamloops streets near the end of the month. City capital projects manager Darren Crundwell said much of the city’s roadworks will be underway by the early weeks of July, with two nearly ready to begin. Resurfacing work on Tranquille Road on the North Shore, between Eighth and 13th streets, should begin before the end of June. The project consists mainly of surface milling and paving, with some minor street repairs. Roadworks on Richmond Avenue should also begin

shortly after council on Tuesday approved a $1.2-million contract to rebuild the stretch of road from Eighth Street to Schubert Avenue in North Kamloops. The contract was awarded to Dawson Construction, which will add traffic-calming measures and improved street lighting. Improvements to Pacific Way in Aberdeen are also coming this summer. The city is preparing to tender the roadworks and wants a July start, Crundwell said. The project, which spans from Hugh Allan Drive to Aberdeen Drive, will see the road repaired and resurfaced. A section of water main between Howe Road and

Greystone Crescent will also be replaced during the project. “That’s what we’ve been waiting for on that project,” Crundwell said. “I know there’s a number of people out there probably frustrated with the condition of the road, but we were just trying to manage the assets as best as we can.” Resurfacing work on Notre Dame Drive in Sahali will continue for a few more weeks, Crundwell said, but will be wrapped up by early July. That job has a budget of $650,000. An extension of Grasslands Boulevard between Woodrush Drive and Cantle Drive in Westsyde is also planned for later this summer.

The B.C. government has released its hunting and trapping regulations book for the next two years, after refusing a recommendation to increase the number of limited entry hunting permits for grizzly bears. A proposal to increase the limited entry hunt for grizzly bears in the Peace River region (wildlife management unit 7-52) was not approved. The proposal would have allowed the regional manager to authorize up to 150 grizzly tags in the annual lottery. The regulation remains a maximum of 50 limited entry hunting opportunities per year, with an average of eight bears killed each year by licensed hunters, four by resident and four by non-resident hunters. The current population of grizzly bears in the region is estimated at 459, with annual allowable mortality of 26.

It is the largest grizzly population in the province. One change made for this year is addition of January limited entry hunt opportunities for bison in the Liard region in northern B.C. The Pink Mountain plains bison herd supports a popular lottery hunt from October to December, with about 10,000 applications each year. The new open season would not increase the total number of bison taken, but shift some of the hunting pressure to the northern zone. Currently there are 126 tags issued for the hunt each year. Other changes include: • Limited entry hunting for California bighorn sheep is closed in two areas of the Similkameen, management units 8-02 and 8-07. After the hunt was opened in 2010, aerial and ground surveys have identified fewer than 75 animals in the region. • Limited entry hunting is open for up to seven mountain goats in the

Just how that money is spent will be vitally important to stations seeking licence renew-

among 18 communities based on how much local news each station produces.

I was not able to successfully harness this new energy and these new ideas, nor did I effectively reach out and communicate with those who have always supported the ideals of our party,’’ Nheiley said. “Please recognize the contribution that our party has made over the past decade. We have been a crucial participant in conversations about full-cost accounting, guaranteed annual income, and building a fair and sustainable future.’’ Emily McMillan, executive director of the federal Green party, led by former Nova Scotian Elizabeth May, released a statement yesterday saying the announcement of the provincial party’s demise may have been premature. McMillan said there was no formal process of dissolution, as required by the provincial party’s constitution. “So, it is much too early to say that the GPNS is no more,’’ McMillan said. “We expect this situation to be temporary.’’ She said the federal party is trying to determine what happened, but suggested its provincial counterpart is likely suffering from “growing pains’’ as it was in the process of seeking a new leader. “We know there is real Green strength on the ground in Nova Scotia and we have been hearing from Green members that they want the provincial party to continue,’’McMillan said. A Green candidate has never been elected in Nova Scotia. The party, which received official status in 2006, ran a full slate of candidates during the 2006 and 2009 provincial elections, but only 16 candidates for the 2013 election. Elsewhere in the Maritimes, Green party politicians have garnered support in recent years, winning provincial seats in New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.

Divers recover body of boy snatched by alligator JAY REEVES, TERRANCE HARRIS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — The body of a two-year-old Nebraska boy who was snatched off a Walt Disney World beach by an alligator and dragged underwater was recovered yesterday, ending a ghastly search at one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations. Divers found the body of Lane Graves about 16 hours after authorities first got the call that a reptile had taken the boy at Seven Seas Lagoon. Sheriff Jerry Demings said it appeared the gator drowned the child and left the body near the spot where he was last seen. An autopsy was planned. “Of course the family was distraught, but also I believe somewhat relieved that his body was found intact,’’ Demings told a news conference. The boy’s parents were identified as Matt and Melissa Graves of Elkhorn, Neb., a suburban area of Omaha. A family friend released a statement on behalf of the couple thanking well-wishers for

tourist John Aho, who was staying at the park with his wife, Kim, and their 12-year-old son, Johnny. The two-year-old had waded no more than one or two feet into the water of the lagoon around nightfall Tuesday when he was taken from a small beach, authorities said. The boy’s father desperately tried to fight off the gator, suffering lacerations on a hand, but he could not save his son. Neither could a nearby lifeguard, officials said. No other alligator attacks have been reported on the man-made lake, according to Demings. Nick Wiley with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said witnesses estimated the alligator was between four and seven feet in length. The beach where the reptile grabbed the child is part of the luxury Grand Floridian resort, across the lake from Disney’s Magic Kingdom theme park. The lake stretches over about 200 acres and reaches a depth of 14 feet. It feeds into a series of canals that wind through the entire Disney property.

their “thoughts and hope-filled prayers.’’ Disney World closed beaches around Seven Seas Lagoon during the search and it was not immediately clear when they would reopen. While “no swimming’’ signs are posted at the beach where the boy was attacked, no signs warn about alligators. The company representative said it would “thoroughly review the situation for the future.’’ Demings said his agency and the state wildlife agency would look into the issue of warning signs. The sheriff said investigators would also review whether the boy’s parents should be charged, but it’s not likely. “There nothing in this case to indicate that there was anything extraordinary’’ in terms of neglect by the parents, Demings said. Wildlife officials said the attack was a rarity in a state with a gator population estimated at one million. But it still spooked visitors in a city built on tourism. “We have been to Yellowstone and encountered grizzly bears, but this is just freaky,’’ said Minnesota

IN A PICKLE? MAKE ‘EM YOURSELF

Analyzing corkage fees

BYOB to a restaurant?

In the world of summer barbecues, the pickle hardly plays a starring role. But homemade quick pickles made from a variety of fresh veggies, not just cucumbers, are a completely different story. Quick pickles are made in minutes, not days, so the veggies stay crisper than storebought versions. And since the ingredients are controlled, the pickles can be customized to be as tart, sweet, sour, spicy or salty as preferred. Make one batch and adjust the flavours to taste. Add extra smashed garlic cloves and red pepper flakes to green beans and bump up the vinegar to give cauliflower floret pickles extra pucker. You can even pickle fruit — sliced lemon, pineapple chunks, halved cherry tomatoes all make tangy toppings for grilled meats and spicy dishes, for example. The homemade pickle is a far more versatile actor than its commercially-produced cousin. Try serving a variety of lightly-pickled veggies with dip instead of the expected crudite. Imagine a veritable mini-buffet of brightly coloured pickled veggies in mason jars set up next to the condiments at your next barbecue. Bring along a jar or two to someone else’s party this summer as a healthy hostess gift. Or keep a jar or two in your fridge for snacking. The basic recipe is easy enough to keep the fridge stocked, too. Just six simple pantry ingredients are needed: vegetable, vinegar, salt, sugar, garlic and an herb or spice. Homemade pickles can probably be on the menu tonight, even without a trip to the store. SIX-INGREDIENT QUICK PICKLES: • 1/2 cup white vinegar • 1 tablespoon kosher salt • 2 teaspoons sugar • 6 smashed garlic cloves • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (or other spice or herb, such a mustard seed, celery seed, or dill) • 2 cups vegetables, approximately, trimmed to fit in two one-pint mason jars • 2 mason jars (one pint size) Heat the vinegar, salt and sugar in a saucepan with two cups of water and bring to a boil. Stir until salt and sugar dissolve, about two minutes. Meanwhile, place the garlic and red pepper flakes at the bottom of the mason jars, and add the trimmed vegetables. Pour the boiling pickling liquid into the jars to cover the vegetables completely. (You should have enough water, but if not, boil a little extra plain water and add.) Cover the jars and let the vegetables sit until cool enough to eat. Store in the refrigerator. They are best if eaten within a week.

fee, which ranged from $15 to $27. Some restaurants asked to call ahead and let them know you are coming. Others weren’t bothered by that. Some had different fees for B.C. and imported wine. So it’s important to call ahead regardless, so you are not surprised. When you arrive at the restaurant, turn your wine over to them and they will serve it to you. You can take home your leftovers, if you have any, but must follow guidelines for that as well. So, is it worth it? In the case of a wine I was never going to pay $10 a glass for, yes, it would have been. If I was splitting the bottle with someone, we would have paid for the

bottle and corkage fee nearly twice over for the same price as four glasses. There was another popular, common wine on the menu that is about $8 a bottle at the liquor store. They wanted $28 and you could only buy it by the bottle. That would have been the right choice in this case, as well. The problem with this thrifty plan is this: if you are not a fan of wine monogamy, you may not want to limit yourself to just one type of wine with your dinner out. I like to try a few if I can and this would be either very limiting or require actual organization before we went out. If you were going out with friends and each planned to bring a bottle, that would work out fine. My friends and I are not that organized. On the other hand, if you get some amazing deals while wine touring this summer, this may be just the ticket to add those wines to your dining-out experience throughout the year.

THE CANADIAN PRESS

gathered at a local restaurant a few weeks ago with some of my lovely friends. We have eclectic tastes and not all of us drink wine, so we never thought to buy a bottle at our table and settled on choosing individually. I almost choked on my water when I looked at the wine list. One of my most favourite wines, Finca Los Primos Malbec, was on the menu. It was $10.50 for a sixounce glass and the bottle is regularly available for $11 at the liquor store — the whole bottle. And that is what led me to ask for the first time about the corkage fee at a restaurant. Basically, corkage fee refers to the charge a restaurant will add to your bill to serve you your own wine. When the law first came to B.C., I was curious about it, but never really explored it. Not all restaurants allow you to bring wine and some have more rules than others. I called four restaurants in town that are licensed to serve alcohol. All four allowed you to bring your own wine for a

UNDER THE INFLUENCE

ver wonder where the saying “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” came from? What about some of our rituals, like eating cereal for breakfast or having a coffee break? Ever thought about why a certain type of beverage is being drunk by a celebrity in a movie? It all comes down to marketing and CBC’s Terry O’Reilly tackles different topics under that umbrella in Under the Influence. The radio show recognizes a shift in the industry from the traditional hard sell to influencing the masses. Some recent episodes include: Sue Me, Sue You Blues: Famous Advertising Lawsuits, Liar for Hire: And Other Strange Service Companies and Live and Let Buy: Where You Live Dictates

What You Purchase.

MODERN ROMANCE

DATING IS SO NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE

hen I picked up Aziz Ansari’s Modern Romance, I was on a roll reading comedic autobiographies and thought his would be as entertaining as the rest — Amy Poehler’s Yes Please, Tina Fey’s Bossypants, Lena Dunham’s Not That Kind of Girl, Mindy Kaling’s Is Everyone Hanging out Without Me? These are comedians I love to watch and, since they all write for TV, it makes sense their books are just as good as their shows. Safe to say I was pretty excited to learn Ansari had also cashed in on a fancy book deal. It turns out, though, in comparison he took a very different approach to his book. Modern Romance is actually the product of two years of sociological research on dating in the 21st century. If you’ve seen Ansari’s standup, you’ll know he loves commentary around the wacky world of hooking up, breaking up and falling in love — especially with the onset of texting, Facebook, Tinder, Snapchat,

Instagram and so on. Advancements in technology and generally the way we live our lives in the modern era have enabled many more options when it comes to finding a partner. We no longer marry the first suitable match by our 18th birthday. But, Ansari suggests having more options hasn’t made dating easier; it has actually made it more complicated and a lot harder. Ansari teamed up with NYU

professor and sociologist Eric Klinenberg and other academic partners to do some significant research on this topic and the result, as far as I’ve read, is pretty interesting. It’s still a light read and the book is littered with quintessential Aziz humour. As much as I was hoping for another hilarious autobiography, it’s entertaining to learn about an academic study through the words of a mainstream comedian. — Jessica Klymchuk

THE RAINBOW COMES AND GOES

hile I have yet to finish the memoir, I’m enjoying The Rainbow Comes and Goes. The book is correspondence between journalist Anderson Cooper and his mother Gloria Vanderbilt. It was written based on emails they sent to each other over the course of a year. Cooper is a renowned CNN news anchor and Vanderbilt is an American heiress who was born

into a trust fund and became the subject of a high-profile custody battle. She later went on to act, design and create art. Inspiration for the book came after Vanderbilt, who is in her 90s, had a medical scare and the two of them made a decision to deepen their relationship. Through Cooper’s and Vanderbilt’s back and fourth exchange, the reader gains insight into their lives and perspectives. They share a bond over a

longing for their fathers, but each has different outlooks on life — Vanderbilt the optimist, and Cooper the realist. The title of the book has different means for each of them, for example. It reads like listening in on a conversation between two individuals who have led interesting lives and have wisdom to share. It’s a touching reminder to spend time with, ask questions of and learn stories about loved ones before it’s too late. —Jessica Wallace

MORTGAGE MATTERS Credit Score and Home Buying Part I Does living a debt-free lifestyle make you the best candidate for a mortgage? You manage your money well and you purchase only what you can pay cash for. You have no credit cards or loans of any kind! You must be what every lender dreams of when it comes to obtaining a mortgage, right? Well, not so fast… Let’s take a look at one of the key aspects of lending: your credit score. When applying for a mortgage, your credit score weighs heavily when it comes to the mortgage rates you will be offered, the lenders who will work with you or whether you will be denied in your search for a loan. In essence, it can make or break your mortgage application. By definition, a credit score is simply a measure of your proven habits of repaying debt. For that reason, you must repay something to have a positive score, like credit card payments, car payments and small bank loans to name a few. People who do not have or use credit cards and insist on paying cash for everything are often surprised when they are refused for a mortgage because they believe their habit of paying cash should reflect “good credit”. Credit scores are rated on a point system, ranging from 0 (no credit), to a maximum of 900 (perfect credit), with the general minimum credit needed for a mortgage sitting at around 600 points. A person who pays cash for all things will likely have a 0 credit score because they have zero history of repaying debt. So what does this mean to a first time homebuyer? Do your credit card repayment patterns reveal good things about you? As a rule of thumb, a person should use two credit cards regularly and pay them off each month to build a positive credit score. A repayment for a bill as little as $10 will build your score and produce a proven habit of repaying debt. There are two major credit score suppliers in Canada: Equifax and Transunion. Each has a credit education center for those who would like to do further reading: www.equifax.com/home/en ca • www.transunion.ca Equifax offers a free mailed copy of your credit report at www.equifax.com/contact_us/en_ca. Both these links are found under resources on my website www.mortgagebuilder.ca. Look for Mortgage Matters “Credit Score and Home Buying Part II” when I will examine several factors that lower credit score and boost credit score for those looking to maximize their score prior to a home purchase. For more specific information on credit scores and home buying, please contact me via phone at 250-682-6077 or by e-mail at steve.bucher@migroup.ca.

The squadron and the City of Kamloops have shared a historical military relationship dating back to 1943, when the city adopted the wartime unit first commanded by hometown local Wing Commander John “Moose“ Fulton.

In 1993, 419 Squadron “Moosemen” were honoured with the Freedom of the City. “We are very honoured to be recognizing this milestone in our community. We welcome this opportunity to celebrate the long-standing relationship with the squadron and look forward to many more years to come,” said Mayor Peter Milobar in a

press release. On Saturday, July 9, 419 Squadron, Kamloops Rocky Mountain Rangers and local cadets will march up to city hall with drums beating, colours flying and bayonets fixed. At the end of the parade, there will be a flypast by four CT-155 Hawk fighter jets. A gala dinner will follow at Sandman Centre. Doors open at 5:30

p.m. and dinner will be served at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $95 each or $700 for a table of eight. They can be purchased from Jody Lewis by calling 250828-3494 or emailing jlewis@kamloops.ca. Ticket sales close on June 20. The weekend will wrap up with a static hawk jet display at Kamloops Fulton Field from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, July 10.

Webcams added to highways Twelve webcams have been added to highways with new variable speed limits. Three new cameras are located on the Seato-Sky Highway from Squamish to Function Junction, five on the Coquihalla Highway from Portia interchange to the Britton Creek rest area and four on the Trans-Canada Highway from Perry River to Revelstoke. “These new cameras mean those planning to travel along the Coquihalla, the Sea-to-Sky and Trans-Canada highways can check the routes for conditions before they leave,” Transportation Minister Todd Stone said. The cameras will also help operators at the Regional Transportation Management Centre in Coquitlam, who monitor conditions along such routes prone to rapidly changing weather. On June 2, variable speed-limit zone signs were activated.

Flower show on Saturday The Kamloops Garden Club holds its Rose and Flower Show on Saturday, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Heritage House, 100 Lorne St. Admission is by donation. Anyone who wants to enter their own flowers can call 250-374-4181.

Can you lend a hand overseas for women in need? A group of Kamloops volunteers is looking for some help to finish what was started in India last year. In November, nine Kamloops residents headed across the world to a tiny village in the Himalayan foothills in India to help build a shelter for women and children in need of protection from domestic violence and abuse. The shelter will also serve as an educational centre, providing a resource for underprivileged families from more than 40 small villages in the Nainital and Almora districts, improving health and educational opportunities. Through the work of the Kamloops volunteers and friends and labourers from India and Nepal, the shelter home was raised three levels, up to the roof, complete with plumbing and wiring for electricity. The push is on now to get the metal roof complete before the monsoons arrive in July. IndoCan Links, a Kamloops service club that raises money for worthwhile projects locally and internationally, has donated money to complete the roof and to buy a stove and a locking front door. Those interested in donating to help with interior finishing, a children’s play area and landscaping can contact Donna Bishop by phone at 250-851 6163 or by email at donnabishop1955@gmail.com. The project has been helped by the Warren Atkinson Society of Kamloops, Developing World Connections, Kamloops United Church, the Kamloops Y Women’s Shelter, Kamloops City Furniture (which is donating beds and bedding), among others. Another volunteer team will be heading to India in March 2017 to finish work and build gardens. Jennifer Erickson will be leading the group through Developing World Connections and can be contacted at 250-434-2524.

SCALING SNOWDONIA IN A FIAT 500X KEITH MORGAN

SPECIAL TO KTW

drivwaycanada.ca

his is mountain-goat country, so a Fiat 500X was not the first choice to scale its heights. Confession One: Asked for a Jeep and was horrified when the Fiat spec sheet arrived, showing it to be a front-wheel drive version, powered by a 1.4litre engine. Gulp. Confession Two: Needn’t have worried about the Fiat’s ability to climb the mountains during planned fiveday trip exploring the highways and byways of North Wales. And it was roomy enough for four adults and the luggage space needed for a trip — liked the cooler box. The Snowdonia National Park is a compact region by our standards, covering just 2,132 square kilometres. It is best covered at a leisurely pace — the odometer showed just 402 kilometres clocked as we crossed the English border into the start/finish point — historic Chester. This adventure was more about nostalgia than putting this compact crossover vehicle

The Fiat 500 X may look cute — but it has enough power to conquer significant peaks.

through its paces. It’s closing in on 50 years since I took a school trip to Rhuddlan, just outside the resort of Rhyl, where we stayed in retired railway carriages, sited on a long disused siding and sampled our first illicit

booze at age 14. Most of the 60-kilometre route, via Prestatyn, was modern highway and posed no challenge to the 140-horsepower four-banger beneath the hood (9.5L/6.9L/100km -city/hwy) — or bon-

net as they say here. Prestatyn is a resort favoured by folks from the north of England, best described as quaint. Rhyl, at the mouth of the River Clwyd, is the big city next to tiny nearby Rhuddlan and its 13th-century land-

mark castle. The coastal road passes through a series of resorts, where elegant Victorian era homes still stand proudly on the sea front. The ooh-aah prize goes to the 15-kilometre stretch between

Colwyn Bay and Llandudno, about 17 klicks beyond Rhyl. Some beautifully preserved homes — now hotels — on one side and the open sea to the right in my case. The season is short but a cool spring visit and a brisk walk along

the promenade is rewarding. The traffic mimics the speed of the horsedrawn carriages from a bygone era. The start-stop function in the Fiat was put to severe test. The Great Orme loomed. A hilly — a highest elevation of 207 metres is hardly mountainous — out crop. It’s home to large herds of Kashmiri goats, descended from a few goats given by Queen Victoria, no less. Though not mountainous, the road is winding, narrow and drops off unexpectedly. The six-speed manual gearbox got a workout. I’d like to tell you I saw colourful puffins fly by but the rain and wind kept them home. The gradual descent wound its way to Conwy of impressive medieval castle fame and a natural place for a stopover. A must-visit is Britain’s smallest house, which is less than two metres wide and barely three metres high. Think of what that would rent for in Vancouver.

Fiat roars up a steep incline in fourth gear From A23

Opened up on the almost 35 kilometres of open road to Caernarfon, on the eastern shore of the Menai Strait, opposite the Isle of Anglesey, in whose castle the Prince of Wales was invested. You won’t break land-speed records in the 500X but the turbo powerplant gets you there and at cruising speed has no problem finding that quick blip need to pass on a narrow Welsh highway. A slowpoke road took us through

While the base Fiat 500X starts at $22,995, the sport version is $27,495 and, with all features added on, it comes in at more than $40,000.

Criccieth and by yet another castle and a treasure to behold.

On to Portmeirion — now off my bucket list — a Mediterranean

utes out of the town of Porthmadog. This amazing spot has been used for numerous movies, most notable the 1960s era cult TV series The Prisoner, featuring the late Patrick McGoohan. A 100-kilometre side trip to the falls at Betws-y-Coed in the national park was the first test of the car’s climbing abilities but the real test would perhaps come on the final day back to Chester. Confession Three:

Mt. Snowdon tops out at 1,085 metres — seemed Everest-like in my teen years. Ahem, that’s 635 metres below the Pennask Summit, which I regularly traverse to the Okanagan valley in similarly powered vehicles. While roaring up a steep incline in fourth (yes), I was reminded of home when I spied bison roaming almost freely in Corwen. Stopped frequently

to take pictures and video of baby lambs for my grandson Francis. A 2.4-litre engine matched to a nine-speed auto transmission (11.0L/7.9L/100km – city/hwy) would be my choice for B.C. and AWD would be a must. But this was a fun drive and showed small can be big, given today’s technology. Base model starts at $22,995 back home. The sport with the larger engine starts at $27,495 but load it up and trims can top $40,000-plus.

The Seattle Studs will be in town to try for their sixth consecutive title when the Kamloops International Baseball Tournament (KIBT) gets underway at Norbrock Stadium on July 7. The annual baseball showcase, entering its 43rd year in 2016, runs until July 10. The Studs have won KIBT eight of its last nine years, dating back to 2006. The Alaska-Midnight Sun Goldpanners captured the title in 2009 and the tournament was cancelled in 2013. “It has never been an easy thing to win — we’ve definitely earned it each of those years,” said Barry Aden, who has managed the Studs since 2001 and played in his first KIBT in 1980. “It’s always a battle. It’s never just a walk for us, that’s for sure.” The Studs headline a group that will be familiar to Kamloops baseball fans — seven of the eight teams confirmed for the 2016 tournament played at Norbrock Stadium in 2015. Joining Seattle in its pool will be its opponent in the 2015 championship game, the Langley Blaze. The Highline Bears (also of Seattle) and the Everett Merchants round out the group.

Trixie Turner

In the tournament’s other pool, the Kamloops Sun Devils head a quartet including the Burnaby Bulldogs, Bellevue’s Northwest Honkers and KIBT’s new addition, the Snoqualmie Valley Hurricanes of Ravensdale, Wash. The Kelowna Jays played in KIBT 2015, but will not return this year. Tournament president Dean Martin said the eight teams were confirmed last week. He was pleased to see the usual contingent of clubs returning to the Tournament Capital. “Well, I’m proud of it,” he said. “I think it’s also expected in a lot of ways. There’s only so many teams that you’re likely going to get to draw to an event with a prize in our range.” The KIBT winners will take home $10,000. Second place will win $6,000, third $3,000 and fourth $1,500. “We’ve got a group of 12 teams, 14 teams that we typically expect to draw from and we’re lucky in that we generally get some of the stronger teams out of that group, so it’s a good competition,” Martin continued. Kamloops is coming off a third-place finish in 2015, after the hometown club defeated the Merchants in the bronze-medal game.

But the Sun Devils aren’t satisfied with finishing in the top three. “To finish in the money and get our money back that we pay to get into the tournament, yeah that’s great, but we never go into a tournament thinking, OK let’s just get our money back,” said manager Ray Chadwick. “We go in to win the whole thing. That’s our goal every year, that’s our goal every weekend: To win. When we don’t, it is a disappointment.” A Kamloops team last won KIBT in 1981, when the Kamloops Brewers captured the Gary Cameron Memorial Trophy. Chadwick believes his Sun Devils have the potential to end what has been nearly a decade-long reign for the Studs at KIBT. “They won the NBC [National Baseball Congress] World Series last year and I called and congratulated him [Aden] and he said, ‘Ray, you know what? We lost eight games last year and you guys beat us in four of them,’” Chadwick said.

“So we compete with those guys.”

In the money

The Studs have never lacked for motivation in Kamloops, but a poor Canadian dollar will put added emphasis on the American club’s play at KIBT 2016. Seattle uses the tournament as a means of financing its summer, which includes tournaments in Grand Forks, California and Kansas. “We’re going to, obviously, take a big hit with the exchange this year,” Aden told KTW. “So it’s going to make it even more important to win, because you’re $10,000 is going to turn into $7,000 when we bring it back home.”

Sun Devils in action

Kamloops will get its first look of the summer at the Burnaby Bulldogs on Saturday. Game times are 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. at Norbrock Stadium.

Eight years was far more than the City of Kamloops expected. That’s why it certainly won’t be a surprise if the B.C. Lions move training camp elsewhere in 2018. “We would like to offer an extension, but we know they’ve been here for several years and there are other communities knocking on their door,” said Jeff Putnam, the city’s parks and civic facilities manager. “We don’t conduct business meetings here because they’re here for a specific reason and they’re very busy, especially with Wally [Buono] being coach as well as general manager, but we intend to have conversations with them this fall.” Instead of business meetings, there were hints, some of them not so discreet, such as Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar proclaiming at Fanfest last weekend the city is not ready to yield in its chase for Year 9. “We got subtle messages,” Buono said with a laugh yesterday, the final day of camp at Hillside Stadium. “From the mayor or from the fans, it’s been on everybody’s mind. “As [Lions president] Dennis [Skulsky] has said, we just want to get camp done. We have one more day. The relationship we’ve had has been excellent. We have another year. Once this is over, we can sit down and see what the next step is.” Nanaimo, Prince George, Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Courtenay and Kelowna have been among the cities rumoured to be interested in intercepting the pre-season festivities.

KYSA Seven coming to TRU ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

It’s unique, but not unheard of. When the Thompson Rivers WolfPack’s women’s soccer team takes to the pitch this fall, they’ll do so with seven graduates of this year’s under-17/ U18 squad from the Kamloops Youth Soccer Association. The KYSA Seven — Delaney Collins, Emerson Hansen, Cassie Morris, Keenan Degen, Hanna Marra, Brenna Worsfold and Sasha Sirianni — have all committed to playing their university soccer in the Tournament Capital and head coach Kelly Shantz hopes the group will form the core of a competitive WolfPack program for years to come. “This is probably the fourth time [in my time in Kamloops] that there has been a group strong enough coming through, to contribute,” Shantz said. Last year’s WolfPack graduated eight players from the 1993-born KYSA class. Shantz said the KYSA contingent will be joined by another half-dozen rookies. “All of a sudden, three years out, you have 14 or 15 thirdyears, five or six second-years, five or six first-years,” Shantz said. “All of a sudden, you’ve got a 25-person roster of girls who played together for three years and you’re all only in your third year. “You could have something special on the go.”

The WolfPack could have as many as five freshmen in the starting lineup when the team is named this fall. The KYSA contingent is hoping their familiarity with one another will prove an advantage. “I always wanted to play for TRU so it was kind of like a dream come true,” said Hanna Marra, an 18-year-old forward who was signed by the WolfPack when she was in Grade 11. “It’s even like a bonus that I’m with the girls I’m with because it’s not going to be a hard transition like if I were to go anywhere else and not be with six of my teammates who have signed with me. It’s pretty cool.” It was about a month ago the girls realized they would all be playing at Thompson Rivers in 2016. As they all attend different high schools — Worsfold of Sa-Hali, Morris of NorKam, Hansen of Westsyde, Collins, Marra and Degen of Valleyview and Sirianni of St. Ann’s Academy — a few of the girls didn’t make the connection until they met with Shantz in the WolfPack office. “There’s just a lot of talent in our age group. I’m not surprised he signed a lot of us,” Morris said. The 17-year-old defender also fielded an offer from the WolfPack’s basketball team, before deciding her passion rested with soccer. “A lot of us girls, we’ve played with each other for

quite a few years. We’ll already have that chemistry that a lot of the first-years on the other teams won’t have.” With a large contingent of freshmen, it’s difficult to know what to expect from Thompson Rivers in 2016. After qualifying for the playoffs for the first time as a CIS club last season, the program replaced head coach Tom McManus with Shantz and is revamping both its roster and its direction. The WolfPack will again play 14 matches and is in a fourteam division that includes the UNBC Timberwolves, the UBCOkanagan Heat and the Alberta Pandas. Both Shantz and his seven newest recruits hope the addition of the KYSA contingent will smooth what could be a tough year. “We’re going to have our eyes wide open this year that we’re going to be really young, but I’ve never been one for making excuses,” Shantz said. He expects to be competitive, despite his team’s youth. “This fall is going to be straight out of Forrest Gump — it’s going to be a box of chocolates. We don’t know what we’ve got until we open it and each week is going to be different, each week is going to be learning, each week is going to be crumpling up last week’s plans and trying something different to see what combination works for our group and against who and doing what.”

Kamloops snagged the Leos on a three-year deal in 2010 and city brass figured it would be three-and-out, but the John Elway-like drive continued on, one extension after another. The city pays the Lions about $40,000 to hold camp. There is an estimated economic spinoff of $300,000 into the community. Kamloops is also promoted in game programs and on the Jumbotron at Lions’ home games at BC Place Stadium and the city receives $10,000 in tickets, which are sold or given to charities for fundraising. “We initially thought it was going to be three years and we were ecstatic,” Putnam said. “They had been doing one year at a time and moving on. Eight years is beyond what we imagined. What I love about CFL training camp is it’s almost a month long and it’s a huge economic generator.” Even if the Leos do leave Kamloops, the city will bring forth ideas that keep the Tournament Capital involved in training camp, Putnam said. Fanfest, traditionally a daytime event, was held in the evening this year, an excellent choice; the food service, which has not always been a hit with the Leos, was commend-

able in 2016; the residence building at Thompson Rivers University was adequate; and Hillside Stadium and Tournament Capital Centre facilities once again seemed a perfect fit. Those are the opinions of the team’s head coach and general manager, but the Lions present themselves as the province’s football team and 2017 will mark eight years in one city. It might be time to move on. “There’s nothing that would say we want to leave, other than the mentality and the philosophy about spreading the wealth to other communities,” Buono said. “But we’re not saying I can’t wait to get out of here or to have this contract be over.

NATIONAL SPORTS

Bale’s words light fire ahead of today’s Wales-England clash THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHAINTILLY, France — There’s tension in the air ahead of what national media have called the “Battle of Britain’’ between England and Wales at the European Championship. And it’s not just on the streets of Lens or nearby Lille. Security concerns and fears of fresh fan violence have dominated the build-up to one of the most anticipated matches of the group stage, but some antagonistic comments from the players are also fanning the flames. Wales forward Gareth Bale started it all off last week, calling England the “enemy’’ and saying his team has “got a lot more passion and pride about us than them.’’ “They big themselves up before they’ve done anything,’’ Bale said. England coach Roy Hodgson described Bale’s comments as “disrespectful,’’ while England midfielder Jack Wilshere returned the barbs. “We know that Wales don’t like us,’’ Wilshere said. “Do we like them? Not really!’’ Bale spoke out again yesterday, saying of England that “it’s good that they bit’’ at his remarks. “There are no mind games,’’ said the Real Madrid star. “Nothing’s fazing us, we don’t feel any pressure.’’ England considers Germany and Argentina as its biggest rivals on the international soccer stage because of high-profile matches between those teams at major tournaments. For Wales, though, there’s only one real foe — the English. “Everyone says they want England’s scalp. It’s not just Wales — it’s the same for every country,’’ England midfielder Adam Lallana said Tuesday. “They want to play England, up their game and we

thrive off that. It makes us more hungry. “It’s a big game. We don’t need anyone else to tell us that.’’ Lallana disagreed that the match means more to Wales than to England. “We know we have to be up for it,’’ the Liverpool midfielder said. “We don’t need any motivation. We motivate ourselves. “We’ve got big players in our team who are used to dealing with pressure, week in week out. We’ve learnt to thrive off that.’’ Wales has spent so long in the doldrums that England hasn’t treated its neighbour as a true soccer rival. Rugby is different — the countries have played each other three times in the past nine months and often vie for the title as the best team in Europe. But it is another story altogether with the round ball. That’s not to say England and Wales players won’t know each other inside out. The top players from each team come across other regularly in the English Premier League or, in the case of Real Madrid forward Bale, the Champions League. Wilshere said it will almost be like a Premier League game. “It can perhaps add a different dimension to the game,’’ England defender Ryan Bertrand said. “Perhaps a slightly more competitive nature. No doubt the players will have a few friends in the opposing team.’’ Clearly, the stakes are high for both sides today. Wales opened with a 2-1 win over Slovakia in Group B, while England drew 1-1

with Russia after conceding a stoppage-time equalizer. The English Football Association has serious concerns about security for the game at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis in Lens, which is only 30 kilometres from Lille, where Russia took on Slovakia yesterday. Many England fans stayed in Lille last night. UEFA has threatened PLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT: Offers valid until June 30, 2016. See toyota.ca for complete details.

THE LITTLE UNICORN

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Cecilia, on June 10, 2016 in Chase, BC at the age of 76 years.

She was an active member of the Catholic Women’s League and the Chase Country Quilter’s Group. The last 10 years she enjoyed the work of making blankets and clothing and sending these supplies to children in South Africa. Cecilia loved playing cards and spending time with her family, especially her grandkids. Prayers will be recited at 7:00 p.m. Friday, June 17 in the Catholic Church of the Blessed Sacrament, 1185 Shuswap Ave, Chase, BC. The Mass of Christian Burial will be held in the Church at 11:00 a.m. Saturday, June 18, with the Reverend Monsignor Jerry F Desmond Celebrant.

There lived a little unicorn (From when the earth was new), His coat so white it glistened, His eyes a sparkling blue.

He learned that there are shadows In spite of shining sun. The more he grew, he found that life Was never always fun.

The unicorn tried tirelessly, And gave the climb his best; But he felt it was not good enough, He felt he’d failed the test.

In innocence and beauty, He danced through woods and streams. The animals danced with him, His heart aglow with dreams.

For now he’d learn of feelings That come from deep within; No longer in the “dream world” Where (for so long) he’d been.

He could not understand it When he felt himself rejected – When all his gentle being asked Was but to be accepted.

He laughed and played with rainbows, So happy all day through, He loved to kiss the flowers As their petals shone with dew.

His gentle heart desired But to know the pleasure of To give and to receive The very precious gift of love.

All this was just too much for him, He knew not what to do. That he was special as himself, Somehow, he never knew.

He wandered through the meadows In the moon’s soft, silver light. He loved to gaze at all the stars That lightened up the night.

To love meant to be happy, And yet it also brought him pain; For those he loved could hurt him Again.. and yet again.

His spirit crushed, he felt defeated, And lonely tears would start. Not understanding how to love, It simply broke his heart.

He listened to the music Of the birds that graced the trees. He frolicked with the butterflies And raced the gentle breeze.

His mother held him lovingly And tried to ease his fears About the sadness life could bring... The lonely, bitter tears.

But now he’s in a loving place Where all his pain has ceased, Where all accepted him and his love, Where all he knows is peace.

But, as he grew and learned of life, The sparkle in his eye Grew misty as he realized Just what it means to cry.

She said, “Life is like a mountain, (And surely this is true) That we must climb as best we can. There’s no ‘around or ‘through.’”

A loving Being tells him, “You’re delightful as you are.” His spirit free, his brilliance now Outshines the brightest star!

Paulo “Paul” Bruno It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Paulo “Paul” Bruno on June 12, 2016 in Kamloops at the age of 89. Paul passed away peacefully after a lengthy battle with cancer. Paul was born on November 9th, 1926 in Grimaldi, Consenza, Italy. He was the 6th of 8 children born to Francesco and Rosaria Bruno. Paul’s life in Italy was a difficult one. Like many citizens at the time, schooling was replaced with the obligation to work the land in order to provide food for the family. However, his life in Italy was not always despondent. For it was in Italy where his zest for the outdoors blossomed and he courted the love of his life, Eugenia. Paul and Eugenia were married on April 30th, 1947 at the tender age of 21. Then in 1948, they welcomed their first son, Francesco. Soon after, Paul left his family to complete the mandatory 2 years of service in the Italian Army. Paul was an exceptional soldier and well liked by his superiors. However, being distant from those he loved was very difficult for Paul, as he cared deeply for his family. Paul would spend many of his evenings taking the time to write letters to his son and love letters to his beautiful wife to assure his family of his devotion and steadfast return. Upon completion of his service, he quickly returned home to his family and In 1950, their second son, Gaetano, was born. Paul’s ambition to find a better life for himself and his family took him on a journey across the Atlantic Ocean to Canada. It was in 1951, when his Canadian trek began, as he, like many other Italian immigrants, disembarked at Historic Pier 21 in Halifax, Nova Scotia. From Eastern Canada, he traveled west and settled in beautiful Kamloops, B.C. After 6 years away from home and endless hours of hard work, Paul realized that life in Canada could provide him and his family with a more fulfilling lifestyle. Hence, in 1957, Paul made the necessary arrangements to transfer his wife and two sons to their new home in Kamloops B.C. The move was certainly met with trepidation but soon all doubts were erased when Paul and Eugenia were blessed with the arrival of their third child, daughter Rosaria. Paul’s family was complete and a dream of a better life for him and his family was fulfilled. For 65 years, Paul called Kamloops his home and

Did you know that Schoening’s and First Memorial have both had an interior face lift? Both facilities are set up for your reception needs including full catering and varied reception menu for you to choose from. No set up, no clean up, and no shopping to do. Leave that to us.

through that time he and his family gathered the many benefits of the Kamloops life style. Paul worked for various companies throughout his life including The CN Rail, The Trans Mountain Pipeline, The Louis Creek Saw Mill, The Overlander Bridge Project and The City of Kamloops, where he was an employee for over 25 years. His many talents quickly became apparent to his superiors and Paul built a strong reputation for being one you could count on and for his quality workmanship. Next time you are walking on a sidewalk in Kamloops, remember Paul, chances are that he helped construct that sidewalk. Paul retired on March 4, 1989. Paul was a man of many talents who had a thirst for knowledge. He not only taught himself how to speak, read and write English, but he also learned how to play the harmonica and the accordion on his own. People loved to be around Paul and for good reason, as he was never shy to tell a joke or share a story. Even the days leading up to his death, he would entertain people with his harmonica. Paul was also a man of many skills and he had the tools to prove it. Paul was happy to share his skills and crafts with others and was always eager to lend a helping hand. Whether he was working on concrete, pruning trees, repairing shoes or dropping a 75 foot tree in someone’s backyard, he could always be counted on. His family, friends, neighbours and even strangers enlisted upon his help and he was always willing to assist those in need. His payment, nothing monetary, usually a friendly smile was all the recognition he would require. Anyone who really knew Paul, knew that next to caring for his family, he had 2 passions in life...gardening and hunting. His garden was an oasis of vegetables, fruit trees, and grape-vines from which his family and neighbours prospered. Normally people in Kamloops put grass in their front yard, not Paul Bruno. Nope, his front yard was garnished with a plethora of beautiful vegetables and fruit trees. Although he loved his gardening, his real passion was hunting the great Canadian outdoors. Paul’s passion for the outdoors and hunting was evident by the fact that he was already planning for the next hunting season before the current one even finished. Whenever you went to visit Paul there was always 2 constants, plenty of food and plenty of hunting stories. One couldn’t help but notice the twinkle in his eyes when he spoke of his many unforgettable hunting moments with his partners, his son Frank, Mario Bruno and the late Emilio Bruno. Paul’s favourite hunting grounds were the rolling hills above Savona. The end of the hunting season was marked by an annual Sausage Roast where plans for the upcoming hunting season were at the forefront of the conversation.

Paul had an enormous heart filled with love and a deep appreciation for life. He was a devoted Catholic. He was a man of integrity, honesty, generosity and sincerity. He will be deeply missed by his family and many relatives and friends. Albert Einstein once said, “Our death is not an end if we can live on in our children and the younger generation. For they are us, our bodies are only wilted leaves on the tree of life.” Paul is survived by his wife Eugenia (passed away on June 15th, 2016), his children Francesco “Frank” (Sylvia) Bruno, Gaetano (Marianna) Bruno, Rosaria “Rose” (Cameron) Winters, his loving grandchildren Paul (Christina) Bruno, Jayson Bruno, Sandra (Domenic) Comita, Chris Bruno, David Bruno, Michael Bruno, Brianna Winters, Adam Winters, great-grandchildren Niko Bruno, Amanda Bruno, Frankie Bruno, Jaxon Bruno, Luigi Comita, Domenico Comita and Alesandro Comita. He is also survived by his many nieces and nephews. Paul was predeceased by his parents Francesco and Rosaria Bruno of Italy, his brothers Antonio (Giuseppina) of Italy, Emilio (Amalia) of Sault Ste. Marie, Natale (Rosaria) of Kamloops and his sisters Fortunata (Giustino) of Kamloops, Antonietta (Michele) of Hamilton, Concetta (Michele) of Kamloops and Maria (Gennaro) of Italy. A special thank you to Dr. James Howie and the staff at Ponderosa Lodge for their loving care and compassion for Paul. He would want you to know how much he appreciated each and everyone of you. Prayers will be recited for Paul and Eugenia at Sacred Heart Cathedral on Friday, June 17th, 2016 at 7:00 pm. The Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, June 18th, 2016 by the Reverend Father Clinton Pendleton at 11:00 am at Sacred Heart Cathedral. Private Family Entombment will follow at the Sage Valley Mausoleum. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society in Paul’s memory.
