LOVE TRIANGLE MURDER TRIAL

“She comes around and says, ‘Do him again — do him in the head.’ It was automatic. I fired again. She came around and kissed me and said, ‘You did good, babe.’” TIM PETRUK

WEATHER ALMANAC

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A desire to “man up” and impress his girlfriend led a Grade 12 teenager to pull the trigger on a rifle in a Salmon Arm schoolyard nearly eight years ago, leaving his romantic rival dead. The accused, now a 24-year-old man, is standing trial in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops on one count of first-degree murder in relation to the Nov. 21, 2008, death of 22-year-old Tyler Myers. He cannot be named because he was 16 when Myers was killed. His girlfriend at the time, now a 25-year-old woman, is also charged with first-degree murder and similarly cannot be named publicly. She is slated to stand trial in November. Court has heard the female accused was involved romantically with both Myers and the male accused at the time of the killing. Both accused were arrested in November 2012 at the conclusion of a months-long RCMP Mr. Big undercover operation. The male accused has admitted to shooting Myers three times — twice in the back and once in the back of the head. Defence lawyer Talia Magder has told jurors it is up to them to decide whether his conviction should be for first- or second-degree murder. The jury has watched video recordings of police interviews between the male accused and an RCMP detective in which the female accused is painted as “the mastermind” behind the plot to kill Myers. In court on Thursday, the male accused testified the female accused had been “pressing the idea” of shooting Myers the night before the murder. The male accused said he brushed it off. Defence lawyer Donna Turko showed jurors text messages the female accused sent to another man the night before the murder, asking him for a gun. “I want a piece,” the female accused said to the unnamed third party. “A piece of him or a piece?” he replied. “No, like a gat,” the female accused wrote

back, using a slang term for firearm. The next morning, the male accused said, he approached the female accused with an idea to remove Myers, a small-time drug dealer, from the picture without killing him. “I got the idea that we could stage a phoney drug deal with Tyler and scare him with a gun — scare him out of town,” he said. “She wasn’t very keen on it. She didn’t think it was a very good idea.” Later in the day, court heard, the two accused and a friend visited Bastion elementary’s schoolyard while cutting class. “I don’t really know how it came up,” the male accused said. “Somehow we started talking about how this location would work just fine [for a staged drug deal gone wrong]. Then she said it would also work just to shoot him.” The male accused said he asked a friend to borrow one of his father’s rifles to scare Myers. He said that was his intent when he showed up at the school later that evening. The female accused, meanwhile, had lured Myers to the schoolyard with the promise of a meeting with the male accused to resolve friction between the two. The male accused said he hid in a forested area and planned to fire a bullet in Myers’ direction when the female accused momentarily left his side. “I never agreed to shoot or kill him,” he said. “I had no intention to shoot or kill him at that point.” In court, the male accused said he was nervous while hiding in the wooded area — shaking, heart pounding and feeling sick. Before Myers and the female accused arrived, he said, he lied and texted the female accused to say there were people in the area, hoping she would call it off. She did not reply, jurors heard. “I didn’t want her to think I was backing out,” the male accused testified. “I wanted to man up, so to speak. We had the intention, she would bring him over by the school and I’d be waiting there and I’d try to jump out and shoot at him or scare him. That was the plan.” The male accused said his nerves increased

when Myers and the female accused arrived. “He’s just standing there looking around,” he said. “I’m shaking terribly. I’m feeling sick. I certainly didn’t think I could say anything or confront him. But it was now or never, so to speak. I aimed the gun toward him, I looked down and I just fired.” The male accused said he hadn’t intended to hit Myers with his bullet, but he saw the victim put his hand on his side and lean forward. “I immediately thought I’d hit him,” he said. “We were both kind of deer in the headlights — just frozen.” Myers then tried to run away, the male accused said, at which time he ran at him and fired another round, missing. “He took a few more strides and then sort of fell,” he said. “[The female accused] came over and said, ‘Tyler, are you OK?’ There was no response. He was just laying there.” The male accused said he remembers standing over Myers in shock. “She comes around and says, ‘Do him again — do him in the head,’” the male accused testified. “It was automatic. I fired again. She came around and kissed me and said, ‘You did good, babe.’” The male accused said he fired two shots while Myers was on the ground — one in his back and one in the back of his head. Turko then asked why he followed his girlfriend’s orders to shoot Myers again. “It was automatic,” he said. “She just said it and it was an automatic response.” At the end of her questioning, Turko asked the male accused who was to blame for Myers’ death. “Do you blame [the female accused] for the shooting of Tyler Myers?” she asked. “No, I blame myself for not walking away from the situation,” the male accused replied. “I take full responsibility for shooting and killing Tyler. That was my mistake. I wish I could go back in time, I really do. Nobody deserves to die. Nobody’s perfect, but there’s no scenario where anyone deserves to die.” The male accused’s trial is expected to wrap up next week.

Nurse scalded by hot water PATIENT PLEADS GUILTY TO ASSAULT CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A patient at South Hills psychiatric centre who was angry with a nurse for encouraging him to take his medications retaliated by pouring boiling water on her, a Crown prosecutor said in court yesterday. Vishal Tiwari pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in connection to the attack on the nurse in February this year. The Crown is seeking a jail sentence between 18 months and two years for the assault that left the registered nurse with first- and second-degree burns. Prosecutor Camille Cook said the day began when the nurse saw Tiwari at breakfast and asked him to come to the dispensary later to take his medication. Tiwari has variously been diagnosed with autism, schizoaffective disorder and attention deficit hyperactive disorder. An hour later, the nurse brought medication to Tiwari, encouraging him to attend the dispensary the next time. The two chatted and Tiwari voluntarily took the medication. Later on, however, Tiwari approached the nurse and said he didn’t appreciate her

actions, Cook said. “He said he wasn’t an idiot and had a choice to refuse medication if he wanted.” A half-hour later, Tiwari approached the nurse from behind and dumped a two-litre pitcher of hot water on her. Another nurse who witnessed the surprise attack said Tiwari immediately put on headphones and sat at a nearby table “’with a stone-cold face’” as his victim attempted to tear off her scalding-hot clothing. The nurse spent three days in hospital with severe burns to her shoulder, chest and hand. She only recently returned to work on a limited basis. “She just didn’t understand what happened in this situation,” Cook said. Cook said Dr. Paul Dagg, a psychiatrist who interviewed Tiwari, determined he had mild psychosis at the time and understood the difference between right and wrong. Tiwari was found to show

ADVICE FOR EXECUTORS Most people are aware that executors are personally liable to the beneﬁciaries for their dealings with the estate.

no remorse and did not display any pattern before the premeditated assault on the nurse. Due to these factors, the psychiatrist deemed Tiwari to be a high risk. Defence lawyer Michelle Stanford argued for a sixmonth sentence, leaving one month of new time after credit for time already served in prison. “Family and staff at South Hills have called this uncharacteristic of him,” Stanford said. She argued his mentalhealth issues are behind the attack and should lessen his penalty. In a lengthy and rambling speech, Tiwari said he believes his mental illness “is a thing of the past” after he weaned himself off medication. A sentencing decision by provincial court judge Chris Cleaveley was scheduled after press time. Go online to kamloopsthisweek.com for updates.

Regardless of how diligent or competent the Executor is, estate law is complex. Particularly if the estate involves blended families, estranged children, multiple beneficiaries, unusual or multiple assets, business interests, complex taxation issues, foreign property or beneficiaries, or minor beneficiaries, Executors are well advised to retain an estates lawyer to advise them of the complexities and the law. The legal fees are paid for by the estate and the lawyer’s assistance can streamline the process and provide assurances to the Executor, and more importantly the beneficiaries, that the estate is being handled in a proper, legal and efficient manner. If you have questions about the probate process, for help determining whether probate will be needed, or help determining whether you should hire an estates lawyer, contact our office to arrange a complimentary 30 minute consultation with an estates lawyer.

In October, she submitted her resignation papers to the national police force. At the time she is alleged to have trafficked in cocaine, KTW has learned, Love was on medical leave from the RCMP after suffering an injury on the job. Love made headlines in 2013 when she testified at the fraud trial of her former boyfriend, RCMP Const. Trent Wessner. Wessner was convicted of bilking Costco out of $400 and subsequently left policing. In 2008, Love was the media-relations officer at the Kamloops RCMP detachment. She is due back in Kamloops provincial court on July 21.

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

HOT: Fans of bypassing the grocery store and getting their eggs from the backyard. Kamloops council brought a decade-long debate to an end this week by finally agreeing to allow urban hens to be kept in urban lots. Until now, hens could be kept on lots at least one acre in size. Effective June 21, even owners of smaller lots across the city will be able to build a coop, bring in no more than five hens and start collecting eggs. Council was told there are already about 100 such residences with hens, with few in any complaints. We think legalizing what is already occurring will not result in an influx of chickens — and commercial egg producers can lay their concerns aside.

OUR

VIEW

NOT: Certain school boards, such as the group over in Salmon Arm. This week, the provincial government fired the entire North Okanagan-Shuswap board of education after a report from special advisor Elizabeth Watson found the board’s operations were deteriorating and that the community had lost confidence in its elected representatives. It is the ninth time since 1965 that the provincial government has axed an entire school board. Among the concerns was the fact three members resigned in April over concerns in the community the board transferred more than $10 million in operating surplus funds to pay for capital projects like a new district office while it reduced its operating budget. Word is Vancouver’s school board could be next. If you see a SD73 trustee, buy him or her a drink for a job well done.

Think outside the boxes

he May 22 edition of the New York Times included an essay by Frank Bruni headlined How Facebook Warps Our Worlds. The general theme is a discussion on how Facebook, much of the rest of the Internet and other technology, serve to connect us to the like-minded, rather than expose us to ideas and thoughts different from our belief system. Bruni is not referring to the much-reported allegations in recent weeks that Facebook intrudes into our cyberspace, tailoring news feeds to fit its liberal agenda. Instead, he is talking about us — and our deliberate, if not quite conscious, desire to bunk online with those with similar views. He quotes social psychologist Jonathan Haidt, author of The Righteous Mind, who said: “One of the things we want is to spend more time with people who think like us and less with people who are different.” If that is indeed our innermost social desire, it would seem to be at odds with every suggestion I had growing up, when teachers and professors and politicians would urge me to know at least as much about what I opposed as what I supported. If you are going to argue against something, the old debating code advises, know everything about what you are raging against. Don’t be a book banner who hasn’t turned a page. Then again, when I was growing up in the Lower Mainland in the 1970s and 1980s, this desire to “spend more time with people who think like us and less with people who are different” could be seen in how various immigrant

MUSINGS groups chose to settle: Those from India gravitated to Surrey and Abbotsford in the Fraser Valley; the Chinese chose Richmond; North Vancouver boasts a strong Persian population. If this is our innate way of living, to float to a comfortable sameness, the fact we are plugged in so deeply and so permanently only further cements us to online versions of us, preaching to a homogenous choir that gets louder every hour of every day while singing the same song. The social-media aftermath of the mass murder in Orlando last week served as a powerful example of what Bruni and his interview subjects were discussing. Facebook, Twitter and the rest can be enlightening and maddening, brilliant and toxic — all at once. Despite insisting I would not be drawn into debating the issues emanating from the shootings — gun control, immigration, religion, mental-health, discrimination — I failed, as did millions of others who read something that lit a fire in their mind. A few back-and-forth arguments and exasperation set in. I checked out of the debate.

I did not, however, seek out online views that conformed to my way of thinking, but I did come across numerous examples of people who did. Reams and reams of conversation threads on Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, newspaper websites showed the perceptiveness of Bruni and his interview subjects. The online discussions come across as an exclusive club for affirmation: I think this and you think the same and he thinks the same and she agrees and we all disagree with that guy, so we must be right . . . Technology’s other ammunition in bonding like minds is the widespread availability of junk science — nonsense dressed up as facts and presented in a snazzy graphic to make it look legitimate. One such example making the rounds following the Orlando massacre is a visual comparison of gun laws and homicide rates in Honduras and Switzerland. The “facts” in the graphic are anything but factual, yet when shared between those with identical stances on the issue, they become truth — the truth be damned. Bruni references group-think and micro-communities as forming a new narrative among those who simply do not trust those in charge. It’s not good and Bruni sums it up well: “It’s about a tribalism that has existed for as long as humankind has and is now rooted in the fertile soil of the Internet, which is coaxing it toward a full and insidious flower.” Think outside the box, preferably outside the one housing your laptop, smartphone and television. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR WE ARE GETTING GOUGED Editor: It is both comical and sad how we Canadians keep getting jacked around by the gas companies. Gas Buddy explained earlier this month that there was a supply shortage in the United States, so gas was expected to exceed $1.20 per litre in the Kamloops area. This week, it remained at about $1.18 per litre at most stations. We spend part of the winter in Yuma, Ariz. The average price of gas there is $2.20 per gallon. A U.S. gallon is 3.78 litres. Let’s do the math: That works out to 58 cents per litre. Convert that to CDN money by multiplying by 1.3 (approximate) and you get 75 cents per litre. That’s a whopping 48-cent-per-litre difference between the U.S. and here. Anybody out there still think we’re not getting skewered? Norm Jewison Savona

A local property management company has a new home. CML Properties has taken over space at the corner of Lansdowne Street and Third Avenue. The company owns the property, but was previously leasing it out as five separate premises. Scoopz Ice Cream

Parlour operated there before its lease ran out and it moved down the road to the Sandman Signature Hotel. Craig McIntyre, part owner of CML, told KTW the leases were wrapping up at the time of their move. CML was formerly located on the second floor of the Morelli Cherkow building on Seymour Street. “We needed more

space,” McIntyre said. The new location can accommodate about double the former space. It has since been given a full revamp, including full interior renovations. McIntyre said business is growing, noting the decision was also based on better parking, exposure and proximity to amenities, such as Riverside Park, for staff.

Four years for attack on disabled man CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A woman who started a bizarre and violent crime spree by assaulting a man with mental disabilities and finished with two home invasions was sentenced yesterday to four years in prison. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley called the attack on a pedestrian at a street crossing in North Kamloops “unprovoked on an unsuspecting victim. “He’s been traumatized and continues to be fearful,” Dley said. Sarah Chalifoux-Schneider punched and kicked the low-functioning 53-year old man and stole his glasses. All the events happened on Oct. 14, 2015. She was carrying an imitation firearm,

something that attracts a minimum oneyear sentence when used in the commission of an indictable offence. Chalifoux-Schneider pleaded guilty to robbery, three counts of using an imitation firearm in the commission of an offence and two counts of break and enter. From there, the 28-year-old woman entered a home on Kimberley Crescent clutching the fake gun. She said she was there to collect money and was looking for a man named Ken. She entered the neighbouring property, which was also occupied, and made similar demands. Dley said one of those homeowners also continues to be haunted by the attack. The Crown asked for a five-year prison

sentence, while defence lawyer Michelle Stanford argued for three to four years. Dley noted the minimum sentence he could levy is three years, one year each for each count of using an imitation firearm during a crime. Chalifoux-Schneider racked up a criminal record in the past three years, including six breaches of court-ordered conditions, break and enter and using a forged document She was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactive disorder as a child and has mental health and drug abuse issues. With extra credit, Chalifoux-Schneider has served the equivalent of a year in custody, reducing her actual sentence to slightly more than three years in prison. She will be housed at the Fraser Valley Institution for Women.

Exploding targets added to fire-ban activities The Kamloops Fire Centre has banned the use of exploding targets by target shooters after they triggered several fires. The ban takes effect today at noon. The B.C. Wildfire Service said it has responded to several fires stemming from use of binary exploding targets. The homemade or pre-packaged explosives are used for firearms practice so shooters can tell from a distance if the target has been hit. The targets have been added to the following list of prohibited activities in an effort to prevent human-caused wildfires: • the burning of any waste, slash or other materials (piled or unpiled) larger than one-half metre by one-half metre. • the burning of more than two open fires of any size at the same time. • stubble or grass fires of any size over any area. • the use of fireworks, sky lanterns or burning barrels of any size or description. The current prohibition does not ban campfires that are a half-metre high by a half-metre wide (or smaller) and does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes. To report a wildfire, unattended campfire or open burning violation, call *5555 on a cellphone or 1-800-663-5555 toll-free.

Never too old to graduate THERESA WALKER GETS GRADE 12 DIPLOMA AT AGE 85 DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

heresa Walker remembers the trip from her home north of Edmonton to the mainland of B.C. It was 1941 and she was just 11 years old, on a steam-engine train with her mother and brother, headed for a new life. Dad was in the army, stationed in England, and her mother had saved enough money for the three of them to head west. “I remember when we got to Matsqui,” the recent Street School graduate said. “It was so sunny and there was green grass and apples on the tree. It was nothing like where we were coming from.” They moved to Mission and lived in a house that was less than modern. “There was a well and we packed water in,” Walker said. “There was a coal-oil lamp.” And there was school, a place Walker loved. She had no favourite subject, but wanted to study everything, to learn. She was a good student, with marks ranging from As to C-pluses, but it was the 1940s and the time of the Second World War. “When you’re German, holy cow,” Walker said of how she felt at school during the Second World War. She didn’t want to talk about it, but explained she was “sensitive about my name [the family surname was Goss] and I was not brought up to be tough.” It got to the point she decided to quit school, a choice her father, now back from war service, supported. Her parents were divorcing at the time, Walker said, and her dad a staunch Roman Catholic, believed women belonged at home “having babies and making sauerbraten.” Within a month of leaving, how-

ever, Walker knew she had made a mistake. But she wasn’t allowed to re-enrol and soon found herself caring for an injured woman. More odd jobs came along and, just before she turned 19, Walker married and lived a life with her husband Bruce, raising a family and building houses, digging out basements, mixing cement, mending fences and running the business they had with their seven cabins on a ranch east of 70 Mile House. She did the bookkeeping, handled reports to the government and dealt with the other minutiae associated with a place where people would come and stay to go hunting or just get away from the city. She tried again to finish her education via a correspondence program in 1966, but her husband was against it and she let it go. After his death, Walker was living in Chilliwack and thought about it again, but Street School there was too far from her home, so she turned to the local London Drugs, buying books on basic subjects and teaching herself. Eventually, Walker moved to Kamloops, where her son lives, and learned of the local Street School. She said she tracked down contact information, connected with Tonia Gillespie, the school’s outreach worker, “and I went for it.” Street School principal Ken Brewer said her registration was initially returned by the Ministry of Education because the “student birthdate appears to be questionable.” Once that was sorted out, there were adjustments. Walker was stunned that students now mostly print and don’t use cursive writing, for example. But on that first day, as she opened her first textbook and got her workbook ready, she felt at home. She said the students around her were “great, wonderful, young

ladies and gentlemen” who would help carry her tray from the kitchen at lunch — Walker often relies on a walker to get around — open doors, get her a pencil and be there to support her. The 85-year-old Walker said graduation night was “wonderful, like a dream.” Her granddaughter and grandson and his wife were there, along with a close friend at the downtown apartment building she now calls home. She doesn’t remember much about what principal Brewer said that night. “I was in such a daze,” she said. Brewer said he praised the oldest grad from the adult program. “We talk about risk-taking and getting out of your comfort zone,” Brewer said. “And she epitomizes it. It’s truly remarkable.” Math was a bit of a struggle, Walker said. She took apprenticeship and workplace math 11 and got a C. She was an A-student in First Nations studies 12, Geography 12 and Social Studies 12, and managed a B in Communications 12. She’s determined, however, to conquer math: “It’s different from what I remember and it was hard. It’s all graphs and ratios and trigonometry.” Walker bought a book — Trigonometry for Dummies — at Chapters, but later exchanged it for a book on animals. That’s one thing she misses from her time on the ranch — seeing wildlife around her. But Walker is heading back to the store to get that math book and, she said, to try to “figure out what it’s all about. That could be fun.” And there’s a laptop on her desk she has yet to master, a project she will take on in the fall. For now, Walker’s day includes “a cup of coffee and then taking it as it comes.”

Teacher Jason Karpuk (left) helps student Justin Lean with his Math 11 course during a class in February at the Street School, which was this school year relocated in Northhills Centre in North Kamloops.

Street School has embraced new home Theresa Walker worked toward her Dogwood diploma by attending Street School, a KamloopsThompson school district initiative that helps people from all walks of life graduate. The following story was published in February in KTW and online at kamloopsthisweek.com and gives an overview of the school: Ten years ago, Street School was held in a room in the basement of the New Life Mission. Class was once a week, there was one teacher and, of the 10 students who attended, one graduated. This year, the school will provide education for about 200 people who want to obtain their Adult Dogwood Graduation Certificate and will see as many as 50 graduate. From the New Life Mission on West Seymour Street in downtown Kamloops, the school moved to the basement of St. George’s Anglican Church on Royal Avenue in North Kamloops before finding what is hoped to be a permanent home in Northills Centre. Teacher Jason Karpuk praised the new location because “it has the feel of a classroom.” He teaches math and science to students two days a week, but said the reality is each teacher ends up doing a variety of duties during school

hours, from addressing numeracy and literacy issues to simply doing what it takes to help the mainly young-adult learners remain determined. “You make a difference in two or three guys and it’s a huge difference,” Karpuk said. Part of the Kamloops-Thompson school district’s alternative-education programming, Street School also teaches English/communications, social studies, family studies, physical education, law, First Nations studies, art, foods, geography, comparative civilization and planning. The courses were previously free, but a change by the provincial government last year brought in tuition costs for those attending Street School who have also graduated from high school. The district charges $570.65 for courses other than literacy upgrading. For those who have not finished high school, there are no tuition fees. Street School welcomes a diverse student body, from young adults just a few years removed from high school, to middle-agers wishing to finish what they started, to a large number of learners who attend class at the Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre. — Dale Bass

The City of Kamloops invites residents to a Public information meeting regarding the Kamloops Resource Recovery Centre Access Options. Please plan to attend the presentation at either 6 pm or 7:30 pm to learn the results of the access review study.

Nancy Lynds stands next to a photo illustration of her husband Randy, who died in recent years of ALS. Nancy will be participating in the People’s Drug Mart Walk for ALS tomorrow at Riverside Park. The two-kilometre walk begins at 10 a.m., with registration at 9 a.m.

“I thought so,” Randy Lynds said, after the neurologist had given him the diagnosis. For some time, Randy, 57, had been dealing with weak arms

and tired hands. A snorkelling trip in Mexico had nearly turned deadly because of a lack of arm power. Now, the neurologist had told him there was a 95 per cent chance he had ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. “I looked like, what do you mean you

thought so?” recalled his wife, Nancy. “I had looked lots on the Internet too, but I guess I was in denial. “I thought, that can’t be ALS. I thought it must be stress-related, because Randy had a very stressful job.” “Please don’t sugarcoat this,” Nancy remembers Randy asking the doctor next. “I want to know how much time I’ve got.” One year of good living and one of notso-good was the prediction. “That was probably the worst moment of my life,” Nancy said. The prediction was ultimately optimistic. Randy would pass away a year and a half later. ALS, or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, affects motor neurons, which carry signals to the muscles. As the motor neurons degenerate or die off, muscles gradually weaken and waste away. The disease is fatal. In most cases, a person’s diaphragm muscles lose the strength needed to allow breathing to continue. About 2,500 to 3,000 Canadians are living with ALS. In Randy’s case, the progression of the disease was quick.

An avid bike rider who would do 30-kilometre trips on his 10-speed, Randy was down to 10 kilometres within a month of his diagnosis, and soon had to quit as he lost his ability to balance. By the end of 2012, he was in a wheelchair. Looking back, she described the time after Randy’s diagnosis as a journey — “one I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.” “Not that anyone deserves ALS, but it’s such a horrible thing to happen to someone so active who loved life and was looking forward to our retirement,” Nancy said. But, she said the family was lucky in some ways. Both their adult sons, Terry and Sean, lived in the city and were able to help out. And, unlike 70 per cent of those diagnosed with ALS, the Lynds had extended medical coverage to help with the costs of specialized equipment, including Randy’s $24,000 wheelchair and various lifts and ramps. The ALS Society of B.C., which holds its annual Peoples Drug Mart Walk for ALS tomorrow, was also a big help, from connecting the Lynds with

equipment to providing moral support as the disease progressed. “I cannot say enough about them,” Nancy said. “I truthfully don’t know how we would have made this journey without them. They’re very caring people and they’re here to help out everybody.” This will be the Lynds’ fourth year participating in the walk, and the third without Randy. “We find when we go down on Saturday there’s going to be people we’ve not seen before because they’ve just been diagnosed with ALS and it breaks our hearts because we know what they’re going to go through,” she said. “You want to be there for people where this is their first year.” Nancy said funds raised at the walk — $43,372 in 2016 — can help families manage the disease’s difficulties and contribute to research that may hopefully lead to a cure or treatment that slows the progression of ALS. Registration for this year’s fundraiser begins Saturday at 9 a.m. in Riverside Park, with the two-kilometre walk beginning at 10 a.m.

HAPPY FATHER’S H APPY F ATHER’S DAY DAY

Feds acknowledge Senate debate, but near death proviso non negotiable: ministers THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The Trudeau government has said thanks but no thanks to a proposed Senate amendment that would make it easier for Canadians to get medical help to end their lives. Health Minister Jane Philpott and Justice Minister Jody WilsonRaybould announced yesterday the government will accept most of the seven amendments the Senate approved to their controversial assisteddeath bill, known as C-14. As expected, however, they stood firm on the legislation’s central pillar: that only those who are near death should qualify for medical assistance in dying. The Senate scrapped that requirement during two weeks of lengthy debate in the upper house before passing the amended bill late Wednesday by a vote of 64-12, with one abstention. “[Philpott] and I are confident that the original language in Bill C-14 strikes the necessary and appropriate balance . . . in balancing personal autonomy and eligibility for medical assistance in dying with the necessary and fundamental protections that need to be in place to protect vulnerable people,’’ WilsonRaybould said. A government motion accepting some of the Senate’s minor amendments but rejecting the primary change must now be debated and voted upon in the Commons before the bill returns again to the upper chamber. The government is hoping senators will back down on their insistence the neardeath proviso must be deleted in order to comply with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and with last year’s landmark Supreme Court ruling, which struck down the

Can inmates ask to die? CALGARY — A Belgian man three decades into a life sentence for rape and murder wanted doctors to help him die — and he nearly got his wish. Frank Van den Bleeken suffered no terminal disease when he was granted a doctor-assisted death in September 2014. Rather, he sought to end his “unbearable’’ psychological suffering, arguing his life behind bars was intolerable and there was no hope his violent sexual urges would ever go away. The case underscores some of the prickly issues Canadian corrections authorities may have to tackle with the legalization of medically assisted dying. So far, there’s been little clarity on how prisoner requests should be handled. By law, inmates must have the same standard of health care they would on the outside. The case has raised concerns about how inmates are cared for in their final years. About a quarter of the prison population is over the age of 50 and inmates tend to have more health problems and shorter life spans compared to the general public, he said. The bill being debated in Ottawa, C-14, would amend the legislation that covers prisons — the Corrections and Conditional Release Act — so an investigation is not required if a prisoner dies with medical assistance. — The Canadian Press ban on assisted dying. Canada has been without a criminal law governing assisted dying since June 6, when the court’s ruling went into effect, and Philpott said many doctors are reluctant to provide medical assistance in dying in the midst of legal uncertainty. “We realize that the Senate is aware of that as well,’’ she said. “We hope that they will recognize that it’s important that we get the legislation in place.’’ Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appears to be counting on senators to eventually back down on the issue. Liberal backbenchers privately say

Trudeau told MPs during their weekly, closeddoor caucus meeting on Wednesday that it would be “appropriate’’ for appointed senators to defer to the will of the elected House of Commons on the matter and he seemed confident they would do so. Senators could agree to pass the next version of the bill unchanged. Or they could “insist’’ upon their amendment and send it back to the Commons, repeatedly if necessary, until one side or the other gives in. Or they could defeat the bill outright. Even before Wednesday’s vote, senators were anticipating the government would

reject their major amendment and were wrestling with whether they should stand firm on deleting the neardeath provision or bow to the will of the elected parliamentary chamber. Independent Liberal Sen. Serge Joyal, author of the amendment to delete the near-death proviso, cited several examples where the Senate has in the past defied the will of the Commons on a matter of principle. He argued the Senate has a duty to uphold the Constitution and charter of rights and to protect minority rights. Joyal’s amendment would replace C-14’s restrictive eligibility criteria with the more permissive parameters set down by the top court, which directed that medical assistance in dying should be available to clearly consenting, competent adults with “grievous and irremediable’’ medical conditions that are causing enduring suffering that they find intolerable. C-14 would allow assisted dying only for consenting adults “in an advanced stage of irreversible decline’’ from a serious and “incurable’’ disease, illness or disability and for whom natural death is “reasonably foreseeable.’’ While the government is refusing to change the criteria, it has accepted other Senate amendments, some of them just minor technical changes. Among other things, the other amendments would put a two-year deadline on the government’s promise to study whether to extend the right to assisted dying to mature minors and people suffering solely from mental illnesses, and whether to allow people with competence-eroding conditions like dementia to make advance requests for an assisted death.

NATIONAL NEWS Federal infrastructure spending

B.C. first in line for major transit projects as Trudeau hands province $460M THE CANADIAN PRESS

BURNABY, B.C. — The federal government has taken a major step in its ambitious infrastructure program by signing a funding agreement with British Columbia to move the first block of cash in its multibillion-dollar plan. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Ottawa will spend $460 million in B.C. to help pay for upgrades to existing transit infrastructure including renovations to aging transit stations and building new bus lanes. Trudeau said $370 million of that money has been earmarked for transit projects in Metro Vancouver. “With the province’s and municipalities’ contributions, a total of $934 million will be invested in public transit across the province,’’ he said Thursday at the SkyTrain operations centre in Burnaby. “This is just phase one,’’ Trudeau said.

proud to be the first region “inWe’re Canada to land that investment from the federal and provincial combination.

”

— VANCOUVER MAYOR GREGOR ROBERTSON

“We are now meeting with provinces and municipalities to develop the second phase of public transit investments to fund major new transit projects that Canadian communities need.’’ Premier Christy Clark said the new funding will help fight climate change in the region. The announcement came a day after a Senate committee warned that none of the $6.8 billion in infrastructure money promised to cities and provinces for transit, green and social infrastructure had flowed because of a lack of funding agreements. Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson said Ottawa’s investment “makes sense when we

contribute about half of our tax dollars to the federal government.’’ “Of course, we’re proud to be the first region in Canada to land that investment from the federal and provincial combination,’’ he said, adding a number of projects have been identified for the first two to three years of a 10-year plan. He said the Broadway subway line in Vancouver and a rapid transit project in Surrey are expected to break ground within 18 months. Metro Vancouver has a long wish list of transit projects, but residents voted down a proposed sales tax last year to pay for a 10-year, $7.5 billion transit plan for the region.

MPs call for access changes THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — A House of Commons committee wants the government to loosen the grip of cabinet secrecy, automatically publish more documents and create a duty to write things down as part of sweeping information reforms. The 32 recommendations from the multi-party committee go much further than current Liberal government proposals for updating the Access to Information Act. The access law allows requesters who pay $5 to seek a range of federal files — from correspondence and briefing notes to expense reports and meeting minutes — but critics say the system is slow and outdated. In its report tabled yesterday, the Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics recommends scrapping the application fee but sug-

gests other charges for requests that require considerable research. The government has proposed several reforms to the law, to be included in a bill later this year or next. They include giving the information commissioner — an ombudsman for requesters — the power to order release of government information and ensuring the act applies to the offices of the prime minister and his cabinet members, as well as to administrative institutions that support Parliament and the courts. The Liberals have already eliminated search and copying fees, but opted to keep the $5 application charge — at least for now. The government also promises a review of Access to Information no later than 2018. The committee, chaired by Conservative MP Blaine Calkins, advocates pushing

ahead with many additional changes in the first wave of reform, including steps to: • Bring cabinet records — now completely excluded from access — under the law and reduce the 20-year period during which they are under wraps; • Make purely factual or background information presented to cabinet and records of decision accessible; • Broaden access to bureaucratic advice and recommendations by ensuring they are withheld only when there is proof of injury to the government; • Limit time extensions for answering requests beyond the 30-day limit to a maximum of 30 additional days, with longer extensions available only after permission from the information commissioner; • Make federal agencies proactively publish information that is clearly of public interest;

• Require documentation of government decision-making, with sanctions for non-compliance. The committee has requested a comprehensive response from the government. In his appearance at the committee, Treasury Board President Scott Brison suggested a government openness to including other elements in the coming legislation. The Liberals should build the MPs’ recommendations into the bill, said Duff Conacher, co-founder of the group Democracy Watch and chairman of the Open Government Coalition. “Given that the Access to Information Act and system have been reviewed several times in the past 15 years, and that there is a consensus on key changes that must be made, there is no justifiable reason for any further delay in making the changes.’’

Retailers watching Walmart’s battle with Visa THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — Canadian retailers are watching with both hope and unease Visa’s very public battle with Walmart. An association representing convenience-store owners said they are pleased the world’s largest retailer has highlighted hefty credit card fees, but is worried Walmart will gain an even larger competitive advantage. “If a big retailer like Walmart is faced with the challenge of paying these fees, you can only imagine how small businesses are facing this with very little leverage or the ability to negotiate,’’ said Alex Scholten, president of the Canadian Convenience Stores Association. He said his members pay between 1.5 and four per cent for purchases made with credit cards, likely far in excess of Walmart. “If Walmart is the only retailer able to get a good deal because of their buying power, it certainly isn’t something we’re happy about.’’ Visa has accused Walmart of using consumers as leverage to strike an even better deal by threatening to

ban the popular credit card from its Canadian stores. “I was surprised that they would publicly state that they were going to put their consumers in the middle of this business dispute,’’ Visa Canada president Rob Livingston said in an interview yesterday. He declined to speculate whether Walmart’s move might have been motivated by efforts to push its branded MasterCard. Walmart did not reply to a request for comment. After months of negotiations, Walmart quietly announced last weekend that “unacceptably high fees’’ has prompted it to stop accepting Visa cards beginning July 18 at stores in Thunder Bay, Ont. The retailer then plans to reject the cards at its more than 400 Canadian locations. Visa defended itself in an open letter published in several Canadian newspapers, saying it offered

Walmart one of the lowest rates of any merchant in Canada. But the world’s largest retailer wanted more. “And they are using their size and scale to give themselves an unfair advantage,’’ said the unsigned letter. Livingston said Visa presented what it considers a “very fair offer’’ but doesn’t feel it is appropriate for Walmart to get a rate lower than charities, educational institutions and utilities. “We are looking to do whatever we can reasonably do to help Canadians shop wherever they want to use their Visa cards, including Walmart.’’ Convenience store chain Alimentation Couche-Tard said it’s sympathetic to Walmart’s move after lobbying for years to reduce credit card fees in Canada, which are among the highest in the world. “Lower credit card fees would mean lower costs to the consumer,’’ said spokeswoman Karen Romer.

The Retail Council of Canada says high credit card fees are unacceptable to retailers. “I’m not suggesting that the floodgates are about to open on this,’’ said Karl Littler, vice-president public affairs. “[But] there’s potentially going to be others who will make similar decisions in the future.’’ The retail council, which represents retailers including Walmart, is calling on the federal government to intervene to mandate lower fees for all merchants. Visa and MasterCard voluntarily agreed in late 2014 to reduce so-called interchange fees by about 10 per cent, or $400 million, under the threat of action by the previous Conservative government. Visa said it lowered fees further in April for small businesses including grocery stores, corner bakeries, butchers and ice cream stores. Littler called the cuts modest since Canadian fees are still five times higher than in Europe and three times the levels in Australia. In the House of Commons on Wednesday, Finance

Minister Bill Morneau said the government is waiting for a report on the voluntary agreement from Visa and MasterCard before deciding “how we can ensure this market stays competitive in the future.’’ Every retailer, especially those with thin margins, are looking at ways to cut costs and offer more value to customers, said Charlie O’Shea, lead retail analyst with Moody’s Investors Service. “You will see more retailers addressing the issue over the next 12 months,’’ he said from New York. Still, O’Shea said he thought Costco Canada’s switch in late 2014 from American Express to MasterCard would have signalled bigger changes to come. “That in my view was the deal that would ‘wake up’ other retailers. The Walmart deal is important but the Costco deal was the first.’’ Livingston wouldn’t say if other Canadian retailers are also seeking fee reductions. “I honestly believe that other retailers aren’t going to be interested in putting their customers at the centre of a business dispute.’’

MIKE HOLMES HEADING TO FORT MCMURRAY THE CANADIAN PRESS

FORT MCMURRAY — Canadian home renovation TV personality Mike Holmes says he will head to fire-ravaged Fort McMurray next week. The wildfire last month in northeastern Alberta torched about 2,400 homes and other buildings and forced more than 80,000 people to flee. Holmes, who is also a contractor, said he and a team of builders will meet with officials on June 24 in the city and visit damaged neighbourhoods. About half the evacuees have moved back to the community since June 1. Holmes revealed his plans on social media and was not immediately available for comment. The Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, which includes Fort McMurray, said it is aware of his intention to visit, but there are no details available yet.

The end of the United States?

“I

f we do not get tough and smart real fast, we are not going to have a country any more,” said Donald Trump after the massacre in the Pulse nightclub in Orlando — and The Donald never exaggerates. The United States is a very fragile entity, only two-and-a-bit centuries old. One more attack like Orlando — 50 dead and 53 wounded — and it’s finished. No? That’s not what Trump meant? Then how many Orlandos would it take to destroy the United States? One a month? That wouldn’t really do it either because, on average, about 200 Americans are killed and wounded in mass shootings every month. It’s been going on for many years and the United States is still there. Last year, 374 mass shootings — defined as a shooting that kills or wounds four or more people — killed 475 Americans and wounded 1,870. The media go into a feeding frenzy whenever the number killed in a single incident reaches a dozen or so, but it doesn’t last long. Politicians offer their “thoughts and prayers for the victims and their loved ones” and everybody carries on as before. After all, 200 killed and wounded a month in mass shootings isn’t all that big a number in a population of 325 million. And anyway, trying to bring in gun control is not worth the political effort. It has been tried repeatedly and it just doesn’t work. Indeed, the National Rifle Association may be right in insisting he problem is not guns, but Americans. ((Their slogan is actually “Guns don’t kill people; people

WATCH kill people”, but we all know which people they are talking about.) Firearms are also widely available in Canada, but the Canadian gun-murder rate is eight times lower. Even in countries where assault weapons are widely available (like Switzerland and Israel, where military reservists keep their weapons at home), the firearms-related death rate is less than a third of the American rate and mass shooting are very rare. “Violence is as American as cherry pie,” as H. Rap Brown once put it. On the whole, Americans have just decided to live with it. That’s not an entirely unreasonable decision because changing a whole culture is hard, slow, uncertain work, and 13,286 gun deaths per year (including massacres, one-onone killings, suicides and accidents) is only one in every 25,000 Americans. But what about terrorism? That’s a real threat, isn’t it? It’s not even clear yet if that’s what the Orlando horror was really about. It’s true the Orlando shooter, 29-year-old Omar Mateen, was born in New York to Afghan immigrant parents who raised him as a Muslim, but his ex-wife said he wasn’t very interested in Islam. Yes, there are reports he called 911 to declare his allegiance to Islamic State just before he started shooting and

some witnesses say he shouted “Allahu Akbar” (God is great!) as he was killing people. But his father said the trigger for his killing spree was seeing two gay men kissing in public in Miami. He has been tied to gay-dating apps and previously frequented the nightclub. Perhaps Mateen was acting out of a so-called “gay panic” — an extreme reaction to displays of gay affection — generally because the person is desperately suppressing such desires in himself. In that case, the whole “Islamic” thing would have been just a cover for his real motive, which he wanted to conceal. We’ll know more later, but we may never know his motives for certain. It doesn’t much matter for people commit massacres for all sorts of bizarre reasons — and it makes no difference to the victims which particular one is driving them. It shouldn’t make much difference to the public or the politicians, either, because Mateen is just one more mass murderer among hundreds, very few of whom are Muslims. Trump (and some other people) will be pushing the “terrorism” button as hard as they can, in the hope they can fool people into backing extreme solutions to what is really a very small problem, but that is just cynical selfinterest. So what should happen? Nothing much, really. The U.S. will go on living with the occasional mass murder because the culture is too hard to change. And terrorism — whether this particular event was terrorism or not — will continue to be one of the (relatively minor) costs of doing business in the 21st century. gwynnedyer.com

STARTING THEM YOUNG

AT 12, WIL CALNE OF KAMLOOPS IS ALREADY ON THE VANCOUVER WHITECAPS’ RADAR ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

t first glance, Wil Calne doesn’t look a prodigious soccer talent. At just 12 years old, he’s small, his thin frame coming in short of five-feet tall. He’s somewhat shy and quiet, as most kids his age are. He’s of few words when describing the virtues of his own game. But put a ball at the feet of the diminutive centre-midfielder and his abilities are hard to ignore, so much so that the Vancouver Whitecaps have taken notice. Calne, a Kamloops product, will be headed to the Lower Mainland this fall to join the Vancouver Whitecaps Pre-Residency Program, a full-time development program, paid for by the club, aimed at grooming its next generation of Major League Soccer (MLS) talent.

The hope for Calne is to eventually graduate to Whitecaps Residency and, later, sign a professional contract with the Whitecaps, or their affiliate Whitecaps FC 2. “For Wil to be selected at 12 years of age — U13 — it’s actually quite unbelievable for a kid from the Interior and Kamloops to get that opportunity to be, basically, put into a professional environment with the Whitecaps, with the processional coaches . . . and all the residency staff there,” said John Antulov, head coach of the Whitecaps FC Kamloops Academy, of which Calne is currently a part. “Not many kids get that opportunity, even in Vancouver. For a kid from here to be selected for that, that’s huge.” Calne got his start in the Kamloops Youth Soccer Association (KYSA) and has since advanced to the Thompson-Okanagan Football Club (TOFC) and the Whitecaps’ Kamloops Academy.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Wil Calne will leave home this fall to join the Vancouver Whitecaps’ Pre-Residency Program on the Lower Mainland.

After standing out in his time with TOFC, which plays in the B.C. Soccer Premier League, he was ushered into the B.C. Soccer High Performance Program (BCHPP). It was at a BCHPP camp that he was noticed by the Whitecaps and, after the MLS club scoured Western Canada and Ontario for prospoects, it selected Calne as one of 18 players for the pre-residency program.

Known a technically gifted player, both Antulov and TOFC general manager Kai Tolpinrud said it’s Calne’s ability to read and think the game that sets him apart. “That’s a skill, for a 12-year-old boy, that is very, very special,” Tolpinrud said, while also praising Calne’s attitude and work ethic. For his part, Calne admitted to being nervous about his

transition to the Lower Mainland and pre-residency, but he’s excited to have the opportunity. He knows the real work is still ahead, but he’s excited to show what he can do. “It’s really cool, to know that I’m one of the better players in British Columbia,” Calne said. “I never really saw myself playing at this high of a level. I always dreamed of it, but I

never thought it would become reality. I’m just really happy to be able to do this, have the opportunity.”

Not the only one

Calne isn’t alone in his advancement through the elite soccer ranks in British Columbia. Tolpinrud said one of the TOFC’s Vernonborn players will join the Whitecaps residency program next year and three girls,

including Kamloops’ own Kiana Onyango, are being eyed by the Whitecaps FC Girls Elite REX Program, the female equivalent of the residency program. TOFC has also graduated 26 players to the BCHPP. “It’s developing high, high levels of players and I think the future for Canadian soccer is bright, given this system that we’re using now,” Tolpinrud said.

Injury stunted Yachison in pursuit of CFL dream MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Derek Yachison pulled down his sock after practice on Wednesday to reveal a baseball-size mass where his right kneecap should have been. That filled-with-fluid lump, suffered in a collision with a teammate at B.C. Lions’ training camp at Hillside Stadium on June 7, bruised the receiver’s chances to impress the CFL team’s brass at a pivotal time. “He started off good,” Lions’ general manager Wally Buono told KTW. “But, obviously, when you get injured, it’s always a setback, especially if you’re a young guy. He’s getting better and, hopefully, he gets a

chance to play in the game.” The Lions’ second and final pre-season tilt

is scheduled for tonight at BC Place Stadium, with kickoff slated for 7 p.m. Head coach Dave

Getting to know my residents is a privilege. My job is their happiness. PETER, ADMINISTRATOR WORKING AT CHARTWELL SINCE 2013. CHARTWELL.COM

Dickenson and the Calgary Stampeders will be in town. Through the first week of training camp, which started on May 26, Yachison was described by starting quarterback Jonathon Jennings as “one of the leading receivers” and someone who is making a name for himself. Offensive co-ordinator Khari Jones said No. 71 would see his first CFL action in the Leos’ first pre-season game last weekend in Saskatchewan. Then the injury happened. “It was definitely a setback and it’s definitely put a hamper on things,” Yachison said. “That’s just the way it goes. I’ve dealt with it and moved on. “Last week was a big bummer, but I used that time to get my knees better.” The first pre-season game gave coaching staff a chance to see most of the young players fighting for jobs in a game situation, making it especially disappointing to miss for Yachison, a former standout receiver with

the junior Kamloops Broncos. Broncos’ head coach Brad Yamaoka remembers well his big CFL break. In his first preseason game with the Lions, he made two tackles on special teams that helped convince management to keep him around a while longer. Yamaoka went on to have a seven-year CFL career. “Sometimes, if you make one play, it can help turn the tide,” Yamaoka said. Brett Blaszko is in a similar position to Yachison. The 23-yearold receiver from Oakville, Ont., is aiming to be one of the Canadian wideouts who stick with the Leos. The Lions called his number against the Roughriders last Saturday. He was wide open. He dropped the pass. That certainly didn’t end Blaszko’s professional football career, but it didn’t help jumpstart it, either. Had Yachison been playing, perhaps his name, not Blaszko’s,

would have been called. He had done enough in camp to earn his shot. Maybe the outcome would have been different. There was plenty of room for Blaszko to make a play. Those scenarios will have popped into Yachison’s head, but the Winnipeg product is trying not to be plagued by what could have been. “I’m looking forward to this game and what could happen,” Yachison said. One of the knocks on the 6-foot-1, 205pound receiver is he is not well-versed in special teams, as Yamaoka was. It seems unlikely Yachison will crack the active roster to start the 2016 season, but the intelligent route runner could be offered a gig on the practice roster for the second straight year. The job would allow him to bide time while he waits for his shot at regular-season action, an opportunity that could arise at any time if a player is injured, and continue

to work on all aspects of his game. “If I’m lucky enough to get offered a practice-roster position, I’Il take it for sure,” Yachison said. “If things are going smoothly, I’m going to stick with that. If things aren’t going well, I’ll have to think about it.” If he remains on the practice roster past Aug. 15, he will lose his Canadian Interuniversity Sport eligibilty, a risk he is willing to take in pursuit of his pro-football dreams. Judging by the swelling in his knee on Wednesday, Yachison will not be 100 per cent healthy tonight, but he is raring to go, still in search of his first CFL down and his big break with the Leos. “Every play I get in there, I want to do my assignment right and, if the ball does happen to come, I want to make sure I make a play on it,” Yachison said. “However many plays I get, if I get any, I’ll be sure to make the most of all of them.”

Hodgson gets subs right in England win

Northern Ireland scores long-awaited victory JOSEPH WILSON

KAREL JANICEK

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LENS, France — Five days after his substitutions failed to secure the points against Russia, England coach Roy Hodgson made no mistake with his halftime choices against Wales at the European Championship. Hodgson, who has a reputation for being conservative in his team tactics, finished yesterday’s game with three forwards up front, supported by Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney as a playmaker. Two of those substitutes, Jamie Vardy and Daniel Sturridge, scored the goals in a 2-1 comeback victory that transformed England’s campaign in Group B. “We made the decision (on the substitutes) early. It was the right decision,’’ Hodgson said. “We were anxious to inject a little bit

more tempo and pace into our game and we were anxious to persuade the players to take a few more risks and to show more confidence in themselves in the penalty area,’’ Hodgson said. Trailing 1-0 after Gareth Bale again found the net with a long-range free kick at Euro 2016, Hodgson replaced Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling at the break for Vardy and Sturridge. Vardy equalized just 11 minutes later, and Sturridge won it in stoppage time. “They responded very well,’’ said Hodgson, who sent on

teenage striker Marcus Rashford for Adam Lallana in the 73rd minute. Vardy is coming off an astonishing season in which he helped Leicester defy the odds by going from relegation candidates to Premier League champions. “He obviously has a lot of confidence,’’ Hodgson said of the Leicester striker. “I had no hesitation in putting him on the field at play at halftime today. And it’s also good in my opinion we have players like Marcus Rashford and in particular Daniel Sturridge to come on to the field and also to give us something different.’’ The boldness of Hodgson’s decisions contrasted with Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Russia. Then, he waited till the 78th minute to replace Rooney with Jack Wilshire, and until the 87th to send

on James Milner for Sterling. Leading 1-0 at the time, England conceded a stoppage time equalizer. With UEFA moving to a 24-team championship, Hodgson said the rotation of starters and substitutes will have an impact at Euro 2016. “Substitutions are going to play a major part in this tournament,’’ he said. “The games come thick and fast. There are a lot of players who feel hard done by when not selected, and you as a coach can find it hard.’’ Hodgson faces further tough decisions on Monday, when England plays Slovakia in their final group match. “The third game is always a team selection headache because now we’ve got players who played two matches in the space of a short period of time,’’ Hodgson said.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LYON, France — Northern Ireland secured its first victory in a major competition in 34 years yesterday, beating Ukraine 2-0 at the European Championship. Building on a strong finish to the first half, centre back Gareth McAuley headed in a free kick from Oliver Norwood in the 49th minute. Substitute Niall McGinn added a second deep in stoppage time when Ukraine was chasing an equalizer. The victory, Northern Ireland’s first since beating host Spain in the 1982 World Cup, means the team has a good chance of qualifying for the knockout stages of Euro 2016. “It has been a long time,’’ McAuley said. “We talked about leaving a legacy from this tournament. A few years down the line when I am finished and I look back on it, it will be extra special. It’s just sinking in, and now it

means staying in the tournament.’’ Following its opening 1-0 loss to Poland, the team now has three points. Northern Ireland’s next Group C game is against world champion Germany on Tuesday. The long-awaited victory was dampened by the death of a second Northern Ireland fan at the tournament. Northern Ireland spokesman Neil Brittain said a team supporter died in the stadium, without giving more details. During the match, Northern Ireland’s players wore black armbands to pay their respects to another supporter who died following the loss to Poland on Sunday.

Storms soften Oakmont, stop U.S. Open DOUG FERGUSON

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKMONT, Pa. — Storms that took plenty of bite out of Oakmont wound up shutting down the U.S. Open yesterday. The first round was suspended for the third and final time just as 28-year-old qualifier Andrew Landry was finishing up a dream round in his debut at golf’s toughest test. Coming off two straight bogeys, Landry hit his approach into about 10 feet on the ninth hole for a birdie attempt when the horn sounded as a violent storm approached. He was at 3-under par. That wasn’t the only memorable U.S. Open debut. Scottie Scheffler, who just finished his sophomore year at Texas, can at least say he was the leader for the day. Scheffler, one of only nine players to finish, opened with a 69. Seven of the 78 player who teed off in the morning were under par, so Oakmont still presented its typical

share of problems, mostly on the greens. Defending champion Jordan Spieth was irritated by a few mistakes, though he was 1 over through 12 holes. Spieth was mainly disgusted on the 17th hole when his wedge landed behind the pin, spun back on the rainsoftened green and kept trickling until it went down the slope and into a bunker. “You got to be KIDDING me! How is that in the bunker?’’ Spieth said from the fairway before slinging his club toward his bag. Even more irritating to Spieth and others was that after the initial delay of one hour, 19 minutes, players were sent back to the course without having a chance to warm up. It could have been worse. Masters champion Danny Willett, Rory McIlroy and Rickie Fowler played in the same group and were a combined 14-over par through 13 holes. Fowler had missed the cut in three of his last five events. Oakmont received more than an inch of rain overnight and it was evident immediately how much it

affected the course reputed to be the toughest in America. Denny McCarthy, the first to hit a shot in the 116th U.S. Open, struck what he thought was a good approach to No. 1. The fairway slopes sharply downhill to a green that runs away from players, and the typical play is to land it some 25 yards short and let it run onto the green and, hopefully, have it stay there. His shot stopped short of the green. But, while the greens were soft, they still were quick as ever. Starting on No. 10, Bryon DeChambau had a 40-foot birdie attempt that didn’t stop until it was some 35 feet beyond the hole. Two holes later, Spieth hit a wedge that checked up about 10 feet short of the hole and then trickled a few inches toward the cup. And it didn’t stop. Turn by turn, the ball kept moving until it settled two feet away. Even then, Spieth gave the putt great care and rolled in it. “It’s nice to know if I miss it, I’m chipping,’’ Spieth said walking off the green.

There was still enough excitement, with Lee Westwood holing out with a wedge on the 14th hole, Danny Lee holing out from the fairway on No. 6 and McCarthy getting it on the act with a hole-out from the 11th fairway. Lee was at 2 under through 13 holes, along with Bubba Watson, who made only two pars in his opening holes. Watson has never played the U.S. Open very well, except at Oakmont. He tied for fifth in 2007. Westwood, Kevin Streelman and Harris English were at 1 under on various parts of the course. Players were sent back onto the course to play no more than two holes before another band of storms arrived and play was halted the second time for two hours, 26 minutes. The longest day of all belonged to the likes of Jason Day, Phil Mickelson and the other half of the field that didn’t even play. And they faced an even longer outing today that for some could mean 36 holes at Oakmont.

FAITH

Will you ‘pierce’ yourself for God?

e live in a time where body piercings are very common. It used to be only women and pirates would have pierced ears, but now pierced ears are common with both genders. And, as we all know, people are piercing parts of the body that were never designed for such decorative puncturing: eyebrows, noses, lips, tongues, belly buttons and other unmentionable areas. But this column is not about questionable body piercings. Frankly, it’s merely a matter of personal preference. I want to talk about a special kind of ear piercing and what it means, in symbolic terms, for Christian believers today. In Deuteronomy 15:

CHRIS KEMPLING

You Gotta Have

FAITH

12-18, there is a direction on how to deal with a long-term servant who had finished his term of indenture, but wanted to remain with his master. Servant owners were required to give slaves freedom after six years of service. But if they did not wish to leave their masters, a special ceremony was prescribed. The master was to take the servant before the judges, who would be witnesses to the servant’s decision.

Then the master took an awl and pierced the servant’s ear against a doorpost. It meant the servant had pledged himself for service for life. Just like your wedding band symbolizes a marriage for life, the earring in a servant’s ear signified a life-long servant. The symbolism of this practice comes from the willingness of the servant to listen to and to obey the commands of his master —to have an “open ear — and to do so for the rest of his life. I think you can now see where I am going with this. If you have said yes to Jesus, you have said, “I am willing to listen to you and follow your commandments for the rest of my life.” You have, in effect, said, “Jesus, I love you and want to be your servant for life. Please ‘pierce my ear’ as a

symbol of my lifelong commitment to you.” This symbolism is reflected elsewhere in scripture. In Psalm 40: 6-8, David recounts that God is not particularly interested in offerings and sacrifices, but much more so in obedience, signified by the “pierced” or opened ear. What is the result of a “pierced” ear? A desire to do the will of God with full commitment. Living the Christian life means disciplining yourself to act in ways worthy of the Master to whom you belong. It means you are no longer a slave to sin and no longer “master” of your own life. You no longer are free to do whatever you want, but you are free to do whatever the Lord calls you to do, which, in the long run, will bring an immeasurably greater reward

in the life that is to come. We need to say what young Samuel said, when the Lord called out to him audibly: “Speak Lord, for your servant is listening.” Are you listening to the Lord’s call? Are your ears open to his voice? Are you willing to commit the whole of your life, your talents, your energy to the Lord’s service? Are you willing to put your ear to the Lord’s doorpost and accept the mark of your lifelong service? The Lord is calling you right now. You have no excuse. You can’t say, “I didn’t hear, I didn’t know.” The question now is: will you listen and will you obey? The Lord needs obedient servants. You may have heard the Greek word for meek, as in ”the meek

shall inherit the earth,” is the same word used to describe a welltrained war horse, ready to obey its master’s every command. If you’ve ever seen those Lippizaner stallion shows or the RCMP Musical Ride, you know exactly what a meek horse looks like — powerful, disciplined, well-trained, responsive to every command and ready for battle. Christ needs “meek” soldiers for we are in spiritual warfare. He needs servants willing to open their ears to his commands. Like Onesimus, the runaway slave of Philemon (whose name actually means “useful”), we were once useless to God, but now we can be very useful — but only if we are obedient, submitted and committed. If you kneel down in the quietness of your

prayer closet and pray the words of Samuel — -Speak Lord, for your servant is listening — He will answer. He will give you your assignment and will reveal your gift to you. You are the servants of the Living God, bought with the price of the precious blood of his only Son — and He has a job for every one. May God bless every one of you as answer the call of God in your lives.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Jesse Marie Monroe (Friedel) (Kyte)

March 31st, 1959 - May 22nd, 2016 With the heaviest of hearts, I write this for my beloved Mother. Jesse was born in Grande Prairie, Alberta on March 31st, 1959. Jesse was the epitome of a wild, fun loving free spirit. She took chances and lived her life with no regrets. She was a sister a daughter an auntie a friend and most importantly my amazing Mother. She always told me to live life to the fullest and live for the day. She was my rock and my best friend. She would give you the shirt off her back if you needed it and was always the one to fill the room with a laugh or two from her jokes. She loved animals deeply and spent most of her life taking care of them at the vet clinic she worked for or thru causes online, we were never without a cat or 3 in my mom’s houses growing up. Jesse suddenly and tragically passed away on May 22nd, 2016. She will forever be missed and never forgotten by me her daughter Kirstin Kyte of Vancouver, BC, her sisters and brothers (Yvonne Downs, Gail Glass, Gwen Hodgson, Alan Friedel, Tracey Friedel and Tim Friedel of Kamloops, BC), her mother Mary Lou Friedel of Kamloops BC, her nieces and nephews, her cat Jack and many friends.

Bernice Elsie (Thorp) Monroe

Bernice passed away on Wednesday, June 8, 2016 at the age of 91 years, in Ashcroft, BC. She was predeceased by her husband of 64 years, Bob. Also by brother Thomas and sister Eleanor. Bernice is survived by her children, Linda Monroe (Bob McCormick) of Ashcroft, Keith (Merla) Monroe of Williams Lake; grandchildren Melanie Lees (Brock Nicklas), Doug Lees (Shawna Gagne), Kira Kursteiner, Drew (Jill) PakulakMonroe; great-grandchildren Paige, Braden, Caitlin and Coen Nicklas, Kaidance Lees, Caden Kursteiner; and great, great granddaughter Leah Fleet. Also survived by brothers Harold (Reen) Thorp, Earl Thorp, and Allan (Gladys) Thorp, and numerous nieces and nephews. Bernice was born June 8, 1925 in Orange, California. The family moved to Strome, Alberta when she was a small child. In 1937 they moved again, to Woodpecker, BC where she attended the Woodpecker school and helped on the family farm. She and Bob were married May 26, 1948 and they started married life on their own farm in Strathnaver BC. Bob had a long career with the B C Forest Service which involved frequent moves to various locations around the province. They settled in Hixon, BC prior to Bob’s retirement, where she was a dedicated member of the Women’s Institute, and in 1996 was awarded lifetime membership in that organization. They later moved to Chilliwack, and then to Kamloops. Due to failing health, Bernice moved to Jackson House in Ashcroft in April 2015 where she was lovingly cared for until her passing. Bernice loved to garden and grew wonderful vegetables and flowers and won prizes for both at the Fall Fairs in Hixon. She always had a knitting or crochet project on the go, and worked with the W. I. To make quilts for fundraising raffles. Above all, Bernice loved her family, and delighted in the increasing numbers, joyfully welcoming each new addition.

Her hands are at rest; the memories and love remain.

She is predeceased by her father Arthur Friedel of Kamloops, BC. Jesse lived a life with so many adventures and I hope she is still having many more up in Heaven.

A Celebration of Life will take place in Kamloops, BC, Summer 2016, date not yet finalized.

Thank You

I’m trying to say Thank You to all Bob’s friends and crew when I read your wonderful cards I knew just what to do. He really liked his job you know he always knew just where to go but then God said “I’m sorry Bob Its time to take your heavenly job. We need a messenger for the night and you can do the job just right.” So as you’re looking at the stars and see a streak of light you can say oh there goes Bob his message came through tonight. Now I say thank you for the cards you sent to me and mine then I can say another one so thank you one more time. Sincerely, Flo Clark Copyright @ August 10, 2015

Eugenia Bruno With heavy hearts we announce the passing of Eugenia Bruno at the age of 89. Eugenia was called by her soulmate, Paul, to heaven’s door on June 15, 2016, 3 days after his passing. Eugenia was born on November 17th, 1926 in Grimaldi, Consenza, Italy to Gaetano and Rosina Fata. A gentle, kind and tender hearted wife, mother, Nonna, Pro Nonna and friend. Born in the early 1900’s, Eugenia was raised amid a time of poverty, illiteracy, and little opportunity for the citizens of Italy. This forced thousands of Italians to leave their homeland in search of a better life in America. However, Eugenia’s parents stayed the course and worked hard to raise their children under these harsh conditions. They provided their children with a strong and nurturing upbringing coupled with faith and fortitude. This laid the foundation for what would be the standard that guided Eugenia throughout her own life and what propelled her to blossom into a beautiful and strong willed young lady. With these qualities, it did not take long for Eugenia to get noticed by someone, and that is when her life changed. Eugenia met Paulo “Paul” Bruno in her teenage years and the chemistry between them was instantaneous. This lead to their marriage on April 30th, 1947 and the beginning of their 69 year journey together. In short order Paul and Eugenia were blessed with the arrival of their two boys, first, son Francesco “Frank” Bruno was born in 1948 and then in 1950 they welcomed the arrival of their second son, Gaetano “Guy” Bruno. Their marriage to each other faced many challenges throughout the years. Eugenia worked tirelessly to raise her two sons while her husband served in the Italian Army. In his absence, Eugenia continued to care for her family. She meticulously kept her garden to ensure a bountiful harvest and plenty of food was readily available for her boys. This is where her love for gardening began and, her unwavering quest to care for her family, no matter what the circumstance. Although the garden was bountiful, jobs and opportunities were scarce. Soon after her husband’s return from the military, they realized a change needed to be made in order to to provide a better life for them and their family. Thus, in 1951, her husband Paul took the long, nautical journey to Canada to fulfill their dream. Again, Eugenia’s patience and devotion was called upon to take care of the family in Paul’s absence. Then in 1957, after creating a foundation for his family in the City of Kamloops, Eugenia and her two sons were reunited with Paul. Eugenia took the same courageous journey that her husband had made 6 years prior, across the Atlantic Ocean to Canada. One could only imagine the mixed emotions, both the anxiety and elation, that Eugenia felt upon rejoining with her husband and starting a new chapter in the River City. In 1963 Eugenia was further blessed by the arrival of her precious daughter, Rosaria, into the family. Eugenia possessed a true servant’s heart and whether it was friends, neighbours,or family she faithfully carried on the tradition of taking care of them. Dearest to

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.

Eugenia’s heart was her unfaltering care for her grandchildren. Her delicious meals and baking from scratch are etched in her grandchildren’s memories – the aroma of sweet pasta sauce emanated throughout the neighbourhood and there was nothing better than an after school snack of fresh bread smothered with “Nonna’s” famous homemade raspberry jam. This was soon accompanied by a plate of fresh french fries strategically placed quietly before you. No thank you, was never an option and how could one resist? Her food was delicious and it made her happy to see us eat. Whether it was offering food or produce from her garden, cooking a meal and eating together, knitting socks or legwarmers, it was the simple things that made Eugenia smile. Giving, made her happy. Eugenia had a quiet, tender disposition with an unwavering caring nature. Her home was decorated throughout with pictures of family. In the spring she would immerse herself in her garden. Her love for gardening continued to grow even after her emigration to Canada. Kamloops provided the perfect environment for tomatoes, potatoes and many other fruits and vegetables to flourish. She proudly went about her day making sure that everything was just right and that all was taken care of. Spring turned to summer very quickly and soon fall would arrive. In the fall, Eugenia diligently worked to preserve the fruits of her labor. An attribute which she echoed in raising her family. Her unselfish, sincere and generous nature was perpetual. Not once would one leave her home hungry or with empty hands. A woman of the Catholic faith and a heart filled with tremendous adulation, Eugenia shaped her family’s spirituality by her devotion to the church and examples of goodwill. The memories we have of her will live on in our hearts forever.

She always leaned to watch for us Anxious if we were late, In winter by the window, In summer by the gate. And though we mocked her tenderly Who had such foolish care, The long way home would seem more safe, Because she waited there. Her thoughts were all so full of us, She never could forget, And so I think that where she is She must be watching yet. Waiting ‘til we come home to her Anxious if we are late Watching from Heaven’s window Leaning from Heaven’s gate. by Margaret Widdemer

And so, Eugenia’s story comes to an end. Eugenia entered this world one week after her beloved husband Paul, and her life comes to a close only a few days after his death. This is not coincidence, but fate. Eugenia and Paul were soulmates and whenever Paul went away, Eugenia was soon to follow. Their love and devotion for each other has endured for over 69 years and they could not bare to be apart. Paul called his love, Eugenia, to be by his side and although we are heartbroken, we understand that they belong together. Eugenia is survived by her children Francesco “Frank” (Sylvia) Bruno, Gaetano “Guy” (Marianna) Bruno, Rosaria “Rose” (Cameron) Winters, 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 and many other nieces and nephews. She is survived by her sisters Elena (Paolo) Bruno, Lucia (Francesco) Bruno of Kamloops. She also leaves behind her two brothers Carmine (Teresa) Fata and Gaetano (Gilda) Fata of Grimaldi, Italy. Eugenia was predeceased by her loving husband Paul Bruno, her sister Teresa Bruno, her father Gaetano Fata, mother Rosina Fata, step father Francesco Fata, sisters Marietta Pucci of Italy and Erminia Bruno of Sault St. Marie, Ontario. The family wishes to acknowledge and thank all those who cared for Eugenia and Paul during this difficult time. As well, a special thank you to Dr. James Howie and the staff at Ponderosa Lodge for their abounding loving care and compassion for both Eugenia and Paul during their final days. Prayers will be recited for both Eugenia and Paul Bruno 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 at 11:00 am at Sacred Heart Cathedral.

Stuff yourself in support of ‘silent therapy’ JESSICA WALLACE

HOW TO GET THERE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

veryone likes food. And it’s that simple concept that inspired the first Kamloops Food Truck Festival, a new fundraiser for the Kamloops Therapeutic Riding Association. “I don’t know anybody that doesn’t like food,” said Ashley Sudds, the association’s executive director. Tonight more than a dozen food trucks from as far away as Vancouver will park on the non-profit’s property — a 10-acre plot it leases from the Kamloops Airport. Those who make the trip out to the Aviation Way end of the lot in Brock can expect a variety of different delectables — from gourmet hot dogs and mini-donuts to Italian cuisine and Quebec’s famous poutine. Those with food preferences will appreciate the raw and vegan truck, The UNCookery, which hails from Chase. “There’s a new one coming, they’ve just opened up,” Sudds said. “They’re called Wheelys Cafe — they’re

a bicycle cafe, a mobile coffee shop.” Local food truck Eats Amore will be on hand for the festivities, serving up smaller portions so attendees can try multiple dishes after making the drive. “I know that’s what I’d want to do if I showed up,” said 31-year-old Mikey Wheeler-Johnson, coowner of the mobile Italian eatery. And what will they be dishing up? “Whatever is out of the garden at the time,” he said. Not only are the types of dishes up to the trucks, so is their donation back to the non-profit. In exchange for parking on their lot, Sudds has asked the trucks to contribute a percentage of their sales for the day as part of the fundraiser. Wheeler-Johnson said Eats Amore will give between 10 and 15 per cent of its sales. “They aren’t charging us to be there,” he said. “The least we could do is kick back.” Sales from its organic and locally sourced Italian dishes will help fund programming, staff training, wages,

When driving out to the Kamloops Therapeutic Riding Association in Brock for the Kamloops Food Truck Festival, go to the barn end of the 10-acre-property — off Aviation Way — not the office end on Crestline Street.

maintenance and vet bills at the Kamloops Therapeutic Riding Association. The non-profit has offered physical, psychological, social and recreational therapy in Kamloops through horseback riding since 1988. Sudds called it a “silent therapy.” “Sometimes when you tell someone, ‘You’re going to go to therapy,’ there’s that mindset — it doesn’t sound fun,” she said. “You say, ‘You’re going to go ride a horse,’ they don’t even realize the therapeutic benefits they’re going to get from it. It makes it such a positive experience.” Those benefits are unique to individual situations. For someone in a wheelchair, for example, the movement of a horse can develop muscles and simulate walking. “Then there’s people with mental disabilities, riding on the horse boosts their confidence,” Sudds said. “Maybe they’re not verbal, but they learn

to ride a 1,200-pound horse and navigate them through an obstacle course without any help from a volunteer leader. “That’s a huge obstacle because they don’t need to use any words to navigate the horse.” It also has a youthat-risk program. On top of contributions from food trucks, the festival, which runs 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., will collect admission by donation. “Say if 1,000 people came and everyone gave us $1, that’s $1,000,” Sudds said. That number increases substantially if everyone donated $5, she noted. “If we did this event and we could raise $5,000, that would be absolutely fantastic.” The festival will also feature music and Jump ’n’ Jax Entertainment. For a full list of the trucks attending, search for the event on Facebook. Attendees must purchase their own food.

Update on local food truck scene Ask the City of Kamloops about food trucks and it says it has been “flexible.” But ask a food truck owner about operating in the River City? “It’s going as good as it can for a city that has a council that doesn’t really support food trucks,” Mikey Wheeler-Johnson, co-owner of Eats Amore, told KTW. Planning and development manager Rod Martin said there’s a wrong impression the city is restrictive when it comes to the eateries on wheels. He said private property in industrial and almost all commercial zones is fair game. “As far as on private prop-

erty, I imagine we’re as flexible as any community, even more so,” Martin said. Private property is one thing, but when it comes to selling food on city streets and parks — things get stickier. An on-street program was created to allow food trucks to park in a space downtown at Gaglardi Square, but only one truck applied this year. Wheeler-Johnson said other cities encourage food trucks to revitalize foot traffic in certain areas. He sympathizes with brick and mortar establishments and doesn’t want to park beside them. He would sooner set up on

McArthur Island. “We have all these sporting events [as the Tournament Capital],” Wheeler-Johnson said. “But zero of the rest of the amenities. We’re giving athletes hot dogs and hamburgers.” When asked how the city could make improvements for food trucks in Kamloops, Wheeler-Johnson said “the biggest step they could make to make improvements is just to change their attitudes.” He said the city needs to stop thinking of food trucks as a “parasitic industry” and formulate a plan together. “We just need to sit down and talk about things,” he said. — Jessica Wallace

re you one of those adventurous British Columbians who proudly says camping is the highlight of your summer? You may spend hours planning where to go and what to do but don’t forget to also plan what to eat once you get there. Without refrigeration, it can be easy to choose convenient processed foods of little nutritional value. Creative planning will go a long way to provide both the nutrition you need, as well as a delicious meal the whole family will enjoy. Vegetables and even fruit are often forgotten when packing for a weekend away. They should not be overlooked, though, because the fibre, vitamins and minerals provided by these foods will keep your digestive system and entire body happy. Fresh fruits and vegetables are easy to bring along, especially if you have refrigeration or a cooler. Packing them uncut in plastic containers helps prevent bruising and spoiling and a moistened paper towel will keep greens fresh longer. Vegetables that start to spoil are safe to cook and eat; just remove the worst parts. For dessert, bake fruit in the coals with spices or dip in marshmallow fluff and roast over the open flame.

Creative meal planning can go a long way when pitching a tent in the woods.

Grill a banana in aluminum foil with dark chocolate, almond butter and coconut. Find other creative ways to include fruits and vegetables in a variety of meals and snacks throughout the day. Protein is another important source of energy and provides building blocks for the muscles you’re using to swim, hike and paddle. It is all too easy to choose proteins high in salt, preservatives and saturated fat. Start your day off right by including protein to keep you fuller for longer. Here are some breakfast ideas: yogurt or milk with cereal and berries, eggs hardboiled at home or nut butter spread on fruit,

crackers or toast. For dinner, consider bringing fillets or ground meat frozen beforehand to last longer. There are so many ways to enjoy fresh meat. It can be premarinated, made into kebabs or included in your favourite one-pot meal. Later in your camping trip, you may have to depend instead on protein from canned beans or dehydrated meals. Finally, choose quality grains to provide fuel for your brain and essential B vitamins and minerals like iron and magnesium. Whole grains low in salt, sugar and fat are the best options. Try oatmeal or whole wheat bannock at breakfast, pitas

or wraps at lunch or make a whole grain salad like tabbouleh to include with dinner. Add whole grain cereal or popcorn to your favourite trail mix for a little something different. As in any area of life, the key is to find a balance that works for you. The next time you explore the beautiful outdoors, find a good balance between enjoyment and healthy nourishment. You may even decide to take it all the way and live off the land like our huntergatherer ancestors — just don’t forget your fishing rod. Nadine Baerg is a public health dietitian with Interior Health.

Report elder abuse to IHA Interior Health Authority has created a toll-free phone number — 1-844-870-4754 — to receive concerns about elder abuse. There is also an email address, ihadultgaurdianship@ interiorhealth.ca, where people can turn to if they are concerned about treatment, be it physical psychological or financial, of a senior. Concerns can also include self-neglect.

“The new toll-free number is one more tool we’re providing to assist one of the most vulnerable populations. As designated agencies under the Adult Guardianship Act, health authorities across B.C. have a role and responsibility to keep seniors safe,” said Interior Health Board chairman Erwin Malzer. “Nobody should have to suffer silently. We all need to stand up and speak out on

behalf of those who may be unable to advocate for themselves.” Almost 16 per cent of B.C.’s population is over 65. Within Interior Health, that number is higher, with more than 22 per cent of residents over 65 — and climbing. As society ages, it is increasingly important to be able to recognize elder abuse and give people the tools they need to stop it, Malzer said.

Kuala Lumpur’s joie de vivre IF YOU GO

The Batu Temple Caves (above) are located just outside Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia and see as many as 800,000 pilgrims.

uala Lumpur loves to whoop it up. Its citizens — Malay, Chinese and Indian — may follow the precepts of Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism or Christianity, but that’s of little consequence. A celebration is a celebration, be it Christmas, Islamic Eid or Chinese New Year, and everyone joins in the revels. When I arrived in January, the Hindu festival of Thaipoosam was on the horizon and my guide Ramu told me the Batu Temple Caves, just outside the city, would soon be filled with more than 800,000 pilgrims. “They will be musicians accompanying palanquins decked with flowers, peacock feathers and bells, and processions of people carrying brass vessels filled with milk, as offerings to the deity,” he said. “Unfortunately, it will be too noisy and crowded to visit during the festival, but you can’t leave Kuala Lumpur without seeing the Batu Caves — they are spectacular!” What he didn’t mention was that the climb to the entrance is equally spectacular. My idea of vigorous exercise is walking up an ascending escalator, and I quailed at the sight of a 272-step stairway, which crawled centipede-like up the face of the cliff.

For more information, go online to tourismmalaysia.ca or facebook.com/tourismmalaysiacanada.

My first reaction was to turn around and leave. But then curiosity took over. I took a deep breath and started the ascent. “Do it slowly,” Ramu said smiling. “There’s no rush.” I paused after the first 30 steps to catch my breath and look around. The air, a warm, moist sponge, smelled of dust, spices and marigolds. A long-tailed macaque perched on a nearby railing, hoping for a handout, while a steady stream of people filed past him: old women with walnut wrinkled faces, chocolate-complexioned little girls wearing butterfly ribbons in their hair, holy men, their foreheads smeared with ash and red powder and the occasional camera-toting foreigner in shorts and thongs. The cavern, cool and moist, was filled with the acridity of bat guano and the odour of damp vegetation. I was surrounded by cascading limestone stalactites — pearl grey, brown or copper — intertwined with garlands of tropical creepers. Long dripping fingers of rock glitter in the shaft of sunlight poured through the roof of the cave and stalagmites, some slender and others stumpy, loomed like ghosts in the shadows. I paused to watch a shaven priest, as he

circled a flame-lit lamp in front of the deity. His deep chant resonated throughout the cavern. It was not any cave — it was as mystical as Stonehenge, as sacrosanct as the Wailing Wall or Notre Dame Cathedral. But I was drawn back to earthier surroundings in Kuala Lumpur. The city doesn’t only party at festivals — it parties every night. The sidewalks throbbed to the rhythm of night clubs and the restaurants and streets came to life after dark. Government buildings and roads webbed through and around Merdeka Square blazed with millions of bulbs whirling, twinkling and curling like ringlets around street lamps, spilling down the front of buildings. Traffic flowed beneath shimmering scarves of lights or past scalloped diamante necklaces strung alongside the sidewalks. The Petronas Twin Towers resembled jewelled pencils pointing toward a cobalt sky and at the City Centre, fountains performed arabesques in showers of green, rose, blue and orange. The liveliest night scene, however, was along Petaling Street in Chinatown. After dark, a warren of vendors stalled take over a section of the street and I squeezed my way between bar-

gain hunters jamming the narrow passageways. The stalls were crammed with brandname knockoffs — watches, leather goods, T-shirts and electronic gadgets. “Come lady, what you want? I have Versace sunglasses, handbags . . . I give you best price,” cooed a vendor. “See biggest selection of DVD’s in Kuala Lumpur,” said another. Beyond the maze of stalls, Malaysian housewives in baju kurongs (ankle-length gowns) and headscarves, collected around fruit sellers, filling their shopping bags with rambutans, durian, papaya, mango and pineapples. I turned off Petaling and emerged onto a street blasting with rock music and thick with the sizzle of frying noodles, fish and chicken. Sidewalk cooks presided over flaming braziers, kneading rotis, stirring soup, shredding, peeling, chopping, slicing and tossing slivers of beef and vegetables into woks. Under the garish flick of neon billboards, families sat at outdoor tables, chopsticks in hand, deftly working their way through steaming platters of mussels, prawns and rice balls. The atmosphere was noisy and exuberant. Everyone had a good time. After all it was Kuala Lumpur — the party was on. Travel Writers’ Tales is a travel article syndicate.
