B.C.’s highest court has granted bail to the man who in 2010 drove his speedboat into a houseboat while out for a joyride on Shuswap Lake, leaving one person dead and a number of others injured.

Leon Reinbrecht was granted bail in the B.C. Court of Appeal following a hearing in Vancouver on Friday.

He had been in custody since June 2, when a B.C. Supreme Court judge sentenced him to spend three years behind bars in a federal prison.

The 54-year-old was convicted on one count each of criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm following a trial last year.

His lawyers filed an appeal of the conviction four days after he was sentenced.

A Brocklehurst homeowner faces a charge of attempted murder after confronting an unwanted visitor outside his house in the early morning hours of Sunday.

Kristopher Teichrieb, 39, was formally charged yesterday afternoon.

He was remanded in custody by consent of Crown and defence until Thursday, when it is expected he will make his first court appearance and an application for bail.

His victim, 19-yearold Jessie Simpson, remains in hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said the incident occurred at about 4:50 a.m. when the Holt Street resident looked out his window and saw a male standing in his driveway.

Shelkie said the

resident went outside to confront the unwanted visitor and assaulted the man with a weapon.

So far, police have not determined what Simpson was doing in the Holt Street driveway.

“We’re not sure what the victim was doing. He hasn’t been able to verbalize anything,” Shelkie said.

“All we know is they were unknown to each other, and we can’t speak to the motivations for why the suspect did what he did.”

Shelkie said police were called and officers arrested Teichrieb. Shelkie said he was not previously known to police.

RCMP declined to say what kind of weapon was used during the altercation.

Witnesses to the altercation are asked to contact police at 250-828-3000.

LOCAL NEWS Family feels frustrated

From A1

“It’s very frustrating that the legal system is like this,” said Lorraine Tomalty, a sister of Ken Brown, the houseboat pilot who died

in the crash.

“It’s for the guilty.

“And the poor people who were on the houseboat — they’re still suffering.”

Tomalty said the fact Reinbrecht is appeal-

ing his conviction, and the fact he will soon be out of custody pending that appeal, flies in the face of defence claims he feels remorse for his actions.

“If he would have

just owned up to it six years ago, this would be over,” she said.

“He just can’t take responsibility for what he’s done. How long can somebody tie up the system? It’s ridicu-

lous.”

Reinbrecht was behind the wheel of a recklessly driven speedboat on the night of July 3, 2010, following a post-Canada Day fireworks display on

“There isn’t a lot of research about bats going on.”

Standing in the near pitch-black bat hibernaculum at New Gold’s New Afton Mine, Thompson Rivers University professor Dr. Lauchlan Fraser is responding to a question about bat research in Canada, the likes of which is being conducted on the mine site.

He’s near the end of an 80-metre underground tunnel, his voice reverberating off the concrete walls which used to feed ore to the mine’s plant.

Around him, wooden boxes give bats areas from which to hang. Sensors monitor temperature and humidity.

Fraser said the mine’s hibernaculum is exactly the sort of project he would continue to explore as TRU’s National Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) Industrial Research Chair in Ecosystem Reclamation.

He has been working with New Afton for about five years and believes the relationship with the mine would be a major portion of the NSERC chair’s role.

“Mining is big business and responsible mining is everyone’s business,” he said.

On Friday, Fraser was at New Afton for the mine’s announcement of a $200,000 pledge toward the development of a research chair, for which he is a candidate. TRU is also inching toward the creation of a Centre for Ecosystem Reclamation — the first of its kind in Canada.

The $200,000 joins recent donations from Genome BC ($250,000) and the Real Estate Foundation of BC ($150,000), bringing the total committed to the NSERC position to $600,000.

TRU is aiming to reach $1 million in the coming months and hopes the total will be matched by the federal government to bring the sum to $2 million.

“What we’re hoping is that New Gold will be the leader, but not the last,” said Christopher Seguin, TRU’s vice-president of advancement.

The university believes the mine’s donation will spur other industry in the region to follow suit.

New Afton and TRU have been conducting research together since 2010 and have been working to sort out the challenges of how to close the copper and gold mine west of Kamloops in the most environmentally friendly way possible.

This includes not only bringing animals — like bats — to the area, but restoring insect populations and other native vegetation.

Currently, the mine’s life span is expected to end between 2022 and 2023, though the company is exploring a “C zone,” a deeper deposit that manager of environment, social responsibility

and tailings Scott Davidson said could extend the mine life to 2029.

Turning the decommissioned feeder tunnels into what is known around the site as the bat cave is among many projects in a part of the mine where reclamation has already begun.

Nearby, a tent collects insects for the Barcode of Life Genetic Monitoring Program, which looks at what insects are utilizing the area and helps researchers gauge if a functional ecosystem is being established. Sparrow nests line the entrance to the hibernaculum and students plant trees in the area in the summers.

“Some of this sort of stuff is what we would like to turn over to TRU,” Davidson said before entering the bat cave.

None of the winged mammals were in the cave at the time, but acoustic monitoring systems have told researchers a number of species are uti-

lizing the area. It could take as long as five years to establish a functional habitat and the mine is still making adjustments to the climate in the bunker.

“At this point, the whole challenge is how do you attract the bats,” Davidson said.

“It’s looking at, can we build a habitat and create an area they actually want to use?”

Fraser said a number of other projects are in the works at New Afton, including a study looking at stockpiles of topsoil removed during the mining process and their viability moving forward.

Upon the creation of the NSERC chair, one or two graduate students, a post-doctoral student and a number of undergraduates will work at the site for the duration of the five-year award.

“This is in the best interests of today’s generation, but also generations to come,” TRU president Alan Shaver said. “The work done locally will have impacts globally.”

“Locally Owned and Operated”

The legal dispute between the Kamloops Exhibition Association (KXA) and the Provincial Winter Fair Society was front and centre at the ThompsonNicola Regional District’s board of directors meeting on Thursday.

Evelyn Pilatzke, president of the Provincial Winter Fair Society, was on hand to request $5,000 in financial assistance for the Provincial Winter Fair, which will be held from Sept. 22 to Sept.

26 at the North Thompson Agriplex in Barriere.

Or will it?

An event by the same name is expected to take place at the Tournament Capital Ranch in Rayleigh, hosted by the KXA. Only one event will go by the name Provincial Winter Fair.

The Provincial Winter Fair Society and the KXA have become embroiled in a legal dispute that will be heard in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops on June 27 and the dispute led to questions Thursday about whether the TNRD should become involved with Pilatzke’s group.

“The worst thing we can do as a board is get involved in something and get into the middle of it when it’s in front of the courts,” Merritt Mayor Neil Menard said.

In May, the KXA, filed a lawsuit

against the Provincial Winter Fair Society and seven people — including Pilatzke — alleging the Provincial Winter Fair name, logo, forms and advertising materials are being inappropriately used by the society.

The society, meanwhile, has countersued, claiming the KXA never had a formal role in any decision making capacity for the event and only provided facilities and assisted with funding.

The dispute has led to questions about the future of the winter fair and where it will be held.

The KXA is seeking an injunction, preventing the society from hosting what it is calling the 78th annual event, contacting prior funders and participants, using its “traditional week” and hosting a fair that involves “beef, cows, horses or sheep.”

“It strikes me, and correct me if I’m wrong, that if the court were to grant the KXA that injunction, that would pretty well put your organization out of business,” TNRD director Ken Gillis, who spoke against granting the funding, asked Pilatzke.

Pilatzke agreed that might be the case, but maintained she and her group will still be hosting a 4-H-related fair that would include all the things normally involved in such an exhibition.

“As far as I’m aware, no judgment has been brought down against us,” she said.

The TNRD board debated a number

of options, including delaying granting the money until after the case has been heard by the courts later this month.

However, a handful of directors were concerned about the impact delaying the funding indefinitely would have for organizers, should the court rule in the society’s favour.

A motion to postpone was defeated, as was a motion from Gillis to deny the application altogether, despite his assertion the TNRD should not become involved in a dispute before the courts.

It was also noted funding was not granted to the Provincial Winter Fair until August of last year.

“The request for funding is premature to the extent that there’s a danger that they may not be conducting a winter fair at all,” Gillis said.

“The KXA is, in fact, through their own winter fair society, planning on hosting a winter fair. Anybody can see that two of them would probably be a tragic mistake, but each party seems to be determined to go ahead on their own.

“I would suggest it would be reckless of us to throw $5,000 or any amount into the middle of these legal issues.”

Still, the TNRD approved a motion to support the event after Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar suggested $5,000 be granted to a group holding a fair in the North Thompson for 4-H-related activities, pending authorization from the courts.

2015

A 26-year-old man and a 19-year-old woman face charges after a stabbing in Brocklehurst in Sunday morning.

Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said a 53-year-old man remains in stable condition in Royal Inland Hospital after being attacked in his Southill Street home.

Mounties were called to the residence at 11:20 a.m. on Sunday after a man reported he had been stabbed by an acquaintance.

Shelkie said the victim let two acquaintances into his residence earlier in the morning.

Soon after, an argument ensued between the man and

one of the acquaintances.

While arguing with one suspect, the other stabbed him once. Both suspects then fled the residence.

Shelkie said the suspects are known to police.

“This is not a random act of violence,” Shelkie said. “All parties are known to each other.”

More trouble for KTW subject A 32-year-old man caught with stolen licence plates on his pickup will not serve additional time after he was given a much longer sentence last week for break and enter and robbery.

Dustin Braaten is a frequent offender.

He recently pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 30 months new time in jail, after

credit, for his part in the burglary, which was a drug raid.

Provincial court judge Stella Frame agreed with a joint submission from Crown and defence for a four-month sentence for possession of stolen property.

Mounties on a routine patrol on Aug. 24, 2015, checked the plates and found

the discrepancy with Braaten’s Ford pickup.

The sentence will be served at the same time as the 30-month sentence for robbery and break and enter.

In October 2007, when he was 23, Braaten was the subject of a KTW series chronicling his attempts to kick his drug addiction.

The final paragraph

of the final instalment in the series: “‘Sometimes I think about how far I would be if I had never done drugs,” he says.

“But I can’t really think like that. I just try to be as grateful and thoughtful as I can, and when I do get discouraged with something small, I try not to let it get me down.”

Death in Wells Gray A hiker from Denmark died on Friday after falling in Wells Gray Park near Clearwater.

Clearwater RCMP said emergency health services contacted the detachment to report an injured hiker near Azure Lake, which is about 90 kilometres north of the town.

A Danish outdoor school group of 20 teachers, instructors and guides had been hiking up Huntley Col, which has steep and

slippery terrain.

At about 4 p.m., a 30-year-old female fell about five metres and lost consciousness.

A man from the group hiked five hours to the group’s camp and then paddled several hours to Clearwater Lake campground to reach a satellite phone to summon assistance.

Due to nightfall, rescue efforts could not start until daylight on Saturday.

Arrangements were made for a military heli-

copter with long-line rescue capability out of Comox to arrive in the morning.

During the night, however, the injured hiker succumbed to her injuries. Her body was removed by helicopter from the mountain on Saturday morning and taken to Kamloops.

The coroner from Merritt will continue the investigation in Kamloops.

Danish police have notified the family of the hiker.’

Verdict looms in Ashcroft murder trial TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

After a 10-month delay, the trial of an Ashcroft man accused of beating his uncle to death with a shovel two years ago resumed briefly Friday in a Kamloops courtroom.

Shane Gyoba, 30, is charged with second-degree murder in connection to the June 2, 2014, death of his uncle, Ed Gyoba.

Last August, after near-constant outbursts in his week-long trial, Gyoba’s hearing was halted so he could undergo a psychiatric evaluation. He was found fit to stand trial.

Lawyers on Friday made closing arguments in Gyoba’s case. Crown prosecutor Neil Flanagan said he thinks Gyoba should be found not criminally responsible by way of a mental disorder if convicted.

In order to be found not criminally responsible by way of a mental disorder, one must first be convicted.

“There is evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused had the necessary mental element for you to find him guilty,” Flanagan said.

“Mr. Gyoba is guilty of murder.

There is no reason to find that Mr. Gyoba did not know that striking him in the head three times, three very strong blows, would cause the death of his uncle. There was clear intention to cause the death of Ed Gyoba.”

However, Flanagan added, there is ample evidence Gyoba was in the midst of a psychiatric episode at the time of the attack.

Flanagan said the Crown theory is that Gyoba was motivated by anger after learning that he was being kicked out of the home of his aunt and uncle.

Court has heard police were called to the Ashcroft home Gyoba shared with his aunt and uncle at about 9:30 a.m. on the day of the murder.

A neighbour who testified last summer said the drama began to unfold nearly an hour earlier. Gil Anderson said he went outside for a cigarette and heard a shouting match.

“I lit the smoke and that’s when I heard the sounds of arguing coming from I don’t know where,” he said.

“It was louder than regular talking.

They sounded angry. I couldn’t hear

ACTIVITY GUIDE

what words were spoken.”

Anderson said he walked around the side of his house to the driveway and saw, through bushes, two men in the front yard of the Gyoba home.

“I couldn’t quite see faces, but I saw two silhouettes through the bushes,” he said. “I saw the silhouette on the left attack the one on the right. The one on the right tried to defend itself and the one on the left pursued until the one on the right fell down.”

Anderson said he then saw the person on the left pick something up from the ground and start swinging.

“I could see the long handle and I wasn’t quite sure until I heard the shovel, the first strike,” he said.

“I heard kind of a muffled, garbled voice of an elderly person that kind of groaned and said, ‘You son of a bitch.’

After that, it was two more — I didn’t hear any words, but I could hear the shovel hit two more times. It was a reverberating metal sound and a loud thump.”

Anderson said he was shaken by what he witnessed and, at first, convinced himself it hadn’t been real.

“I stood there for a second,” he said. “I couldn’t believe. I was shaky. I couldn’t understand what I’d seen or heard at that point — and it was minutes before I had to walk my daughter to school.”

Flanagan said Gyoba stuffed his uncle’s mouth with dirt after killing him.

Defence lawyer Don Campbell’s argument was brief.

“I have very clear instructions from my client,” he said. “That is not to pursue a psychiatric defence.”

In the past, Campbell said, Gyoba has refused to take medication and opposed a bipolar-disorder diagnosis.

“He is fit,” Campbell said. “He himself is not putting his psychiatric state at issue and I am therefore barred from doing that.”

If Gyoba is found not criminally responsible, he will be sent to a secure psychiatric facility in the Lower Mainland for medical treatment.

B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley is expected to deliver a decision on Thursday, June 23. If Dley finds Gyoba guilty, Flanagan said he will apply for a not criminally responsible designation.

HELPING END THE HATRED

T

here are approximately 50 innocent people dead this week, all their dreams and goals unrealized, family and friends devastated.

Of course, we’re speaking of the blood bath at a gay night club in Orlando, Fla., on June 12, where a domestic terrorist opened fire and killed or maimed more than 100 people — all because of hate.

As we mourn the loss of all those people and struggle to make sense of what has been the deadliest shooting in modern American history, some good is beginning to transcend this tragedy.

We’re seeing people uniting. There are people around the globe coming together with a common voice. They’re all calling for an end to such hatred and pleading for people to be kind to each other.

It seems love is prevailing – even here in Kamloops, where a vigil last week attracted a strong crowd.

Will flying the pride flag — a symbol of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community — undo the damage done by Omar Mateen and his weaponry? No. Will signing mass online postcards of empathy or painting a sidewalk the colours of a rainbow bring back all those young people. Obviously not.

But a little paint on the street, a little extra colour in our lives, can’t hurt, either. What it can do is turn the spotlight on the need for tolerance, acceptance and love. It can be a symbol that hatred and bullying will not be tolerated.

It’s up to us to make this massacre count. It’s up to us to make this world a better place and to rise above all the hatred. The flags, sidewalks and postcards are nice, but we can do more.

The next time you see someone being treated unfairly, simply because of who he or she is, put yourself in their place. Do that, and chances are you will intervene. And once one person intervenes, others will follow.

Talking change is a good thing. Creating change is a great thing.

Let’s be great.

Updating Devil’s Dictionary

L

ast week’s column used a term that’s currently popular in politics: “austerity.”

This is the political act of not spending enough money. It has recently been declared a sin by “progressive” people. In its most virulent and extreme form, austerity even leads to running a surplus on the public treasury to pay down debt.

Opposing austerity came into fashion in Greece, the crumbling, corrupt basketcase that may yet bring down the whole European Union. Greek politicians got themselves elected by pretending outrage that the rest of Europe wasn’t willing to keep bailing them out forever.

South of the border, we have seen Bernie Sanders riding a wave of popularity, with sweeping promises including free health care and university tuition. His plan implies increasing U.S. federal spending by 40 per cent or so.

The Sanders plan isn’t just based on “puppies and rainbows,” as Austan Goolsbee, former chair of President Barack Obama’s Council of Economic Advisors, told the New York Times. “They’ve evolved into magic flying puppies with winning Lotto tickets tied to their collars.”

We’re getting a fair bit of magic puppy politics from the Justin Trudeau government in Ottawa and, with an election on the horizon in B.C., an update of Ambrose Bierce’s immortal Devil’s Dictionary might be useful:

TOM FLETCHER

Our Man In

VICTORIA Progressive: According to Vancouver MLA Sam Sullivan, this used to refer to the modernist movement that brought atlarge elections and a professional civil service to local government.

Now it generally means going into debt as fast as you can.

Today’s self-styled progressives also oppose most industrial activity, which is what brought us the progress they enjoy today.

Inequality: This is the awful social problem in which some people earn more money than others. It used to be called “capitalism.” South of the border, they called it “the American dream.”

Globally, income inequality is falling, with a growing middle class in Asia and South America.

Here in Canada, people tend to start out poorer and gain wealth as they get older. On the evidence, it seems the less state control of the economy, the better.

Affordable housing: This is a favoured term of politicians because they can make it sound like almost anything. What it really means is subsidized housing, probably subsidized by you.

Social licence: This is a favourite of professional protesters and others who like to pretend they speak for all of society.

It allows them to declare, without evidence, that a years-long scientific review of an industrial project is flawed in some undefined way because protesters continue to appear on TV. What it really means is democratically elected governments and division of authority between local, provincial and federal levels don’t matter any more.

Climate change: This has replaced the more restrictive “global warming.” Like affordable housing, it means whatever politicians want it to mean. It covers snow, flooding, drought, whatever. As with inequality, “progressive” governments must “fight climate change” with everincreasing state control.

Harm reduction: This is the “progressive” alternative to drugaddiction treatment. Rather than treat what correct-thinking persons agree is a disease where the patient has no control over his or her choices, government offers free needles, housing and food. It doesn’t so much reduce harm as spread it and encourage it by relieving people of personal responsibility to make better choices.

Social justice: This is not to be confused with ordinary justice, where people get what they deserve. It is where the state takes income away from those who earn it and gives it to those who don’t. See also “inequality.” tfletcher@blackpress.ca Twitter: @tomfletcherbc

TNRD likes plans of Harper’s Trail ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

It was a good week for Harper’s Trail Estate Winery.

After Kamloops city council voted last week to reopen debate on allowing sales of B.C. wine in Save-On-Foods’ Sahali store, the Thompson-Nicola Regional District on Thursday recommended the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch (LCLB) approve a winery lounge endorsement for the business east of Kamloops.

The endorsement will allow the winery to serve its own wines and also opens the door to other liquor sales on the property as it allows the sale and service of any kind of liquor, to a maximum of 20 per cent of sales.

Harper’s Trail also plans to host the occasional event or entertainment night.

Owners Vicki and Ed Collett told KTW after Thursday’s TNRD board meeting that the primary impetus behind the seeking the winery lounge endorsement is having the ability to open and serve wine to patrons who visit

Harper’s Trail.

Currently, the winery can sell liquor bottles to visitors, who can enjoy them on the estate’s patio, but the winery cannot open or pour the wine.

“This is the only reason why I did this,” Vicki said.

“If we decide for a special event that we want to bring in local craft beer, local cider, that’s what I want to do — but it will not be an everyday offering during the day. It will be a special thing that we do.”

Should the LCLB approve the endorsement, Harper’s Trail has the option of serving between 9 a.m. and 1 a.m., seven days a week, though the Colletts said nightly late-night service is not in their plans.

They hope to have the new lounge area, which will only occupy a section of the estate’s pre-existing patio, open by the end of June.

“It’s awesome, it really is,” Vicki said of the pair of local government decisions handed down this week.

“It’s just one more step in the right direction of a little bit of change,” Ed added.

FOOD TRUCK FRENZY

The first food truck festival was held in Brocklehurst Friday night, a fundraiser for the Kamloops Therapeutic Riding Association. The festival proved to be far more popular than even organizers could have predicted, with the parking lot filling up fast and vehicles parked down Tranquille Road for as far as the eye could see.

Lineups stretched so far that waiting times were up to an hour in length, which organizers say is a testament to the demand for such events.

A second annual festival is in the planning stages.

As clock ticks on CPP talks, hope persists Ontario, Quebec can come to terms THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — The clock was ticking down yesterday as the country’s finance ministers wrestled with how best to recalibrate the Canada Pension Plan for future generations — with Ontario pushing for a hasty agreement and Quebec pushing a go-slow approach.

Ontario Finance Minister Charles Sousa said a one-day deal was well within reach, but Quebec counterpart Carlos Leitao brought his own proposal, insisting he would only support changes that are targeted, modest and gradual.

So far, the proposals on the table are only two-thirds of the way there, said Leitao, whose own proposal more selectively targets Canadians less likely to save, to avoid putting an additional financial burden on low-income earners.

Under the Quebec

plan, increased pension premiums would only kick in for those who make more than about $27,000 per year, which is about half the yearly maximum pensionable earnings for 2017.

The proposal argues supplementing the income of Canada’s lowest earners is better achieved through other government policies, such as old age security and the guaranteed income supplement.

With Ontario well on its way toward developing its own pension program, the pressure was on to reach a national agreement — something Sousa said would be his preference.

“We want consensus,’’ Sousa said, insisting a deal “today’’ was well within reach.

“We want everybody to participate.

We want everybody involved.’’

Revamping the Canada Pension Plan is critical to ensuring future generations of

i r Ag

Canadians can retire in dignity, no matter the state of their finances, said federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau.

“We’ve heard from Canadians [about] the importance of retirement security,’’ Morneau said before the meeting.

“I’m looking forward to working together with my colleagues across the country to improve the long-term future for Canadians.’’

Reforming the pension system needs the support of at least seven provinces representing two thirds of the country’s population, which gives Ontario an unofficial veto over any decision.

The legislation, as currently written, also states any reforms can only be implemented three years after a federal-provincial agreement is reached.

Coming into the meeting, Saskatchewan and B.C. have suggested economic conditions aren’t right for

a change that’s likely to lead to an increase in the premiums that come off workers’ paycheques.

That premium hike is why some critics of the expansion call it a payroll tax, a common refrain from the Opposition Conservatives who oppose an across-theboard expansion of the program.

Federal research has suggested workers who are the least likely to save for retirement tend to be under the age of 30, earn between $55,000 and $75,000 [although some estimates are higher], and either don’t save enough or lack access to a workplace pension plan.

The federal and provincial governments are looking at a possible increase in the $55,000 cap on annual maximum pensionable earnings, which would result in both higher premiums and increased pension benefits.

CARMAKERS, GOVERNMENTS TACKLING ELECTRIC CAR RANGE ANXIETY interview at a global electric vehicle conference in Montreal.

Meanwhile, new products from the automakers themselves are starting to bring consumers around.

Nissan says sales of its popular Leaf plug-in surged 50 per cent when it introduced a more powerful battery last November that boosted the car’s range by 27 per cent to 172 kilometres.

Ford is planning to introduce a new battery this fall that will increase the range of its all-electric Focus by 31 per cent to 160 km.

Nissan said it believes new technology can double the Leaf’s range in three years and add hundreds of kilometres over time.

But Kazuo Yajima, alliance global director of the company’s electric vehicle engineering division, said efforts to add more range needs to be tempered with reducing vehicle costs.

THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — Automakers are hoping to overcome the biggest roadblock to electric vehicles sales — range anxiety among consumers — with a little help from government.

A spokesman for Ford Canada said government efforts to extend the network of recharging stations along highways and elsewhere is a big psychological boost in helping consumers overcome range anxiety, even though the typical Canadian urban commute is far shorter than the travelling range of many plug-in vehicles. “[With] both the federal government and provincial governments working together to develop the infrastructure, you’ll see range anxiety eventually disappear,’’ Marc Vejgman, Ford’s product marketing manager, said in an

“We cannot rely on the [government] subsidies or incentives forever,’’ he said.

Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard said Quebec’s $8,000 subsidy for the purchase of electric vehicles will only be phased out when sales hit a critical mass and prices fall. B.C. offers a $5,000 subsidy and Ontario gives up to $14,000 as it aims for electric cars to make up five per cent of new vehicle sales by 2020.

“It’s hard for me to tell you at what moment we will be able to decrease the incentives,’’ Couillard told reporters, adding the sale of electric and hybrid cars generates returns for the provincial economy.

“When you fill up you car with gasoline you basically encourage oil exporters — also of course Canadian oil producers — but if you charge your electric car you send money

directly through HydroQuebec and recycle it in Quebec’s economy,’’ he said.

Electric cars are a niche market with less than one per cent of global auto sales. More than 21,000 plug-in electric vehicles have been sold in Canada since 2011. The plug-in hybrid Chevy Volt leads, followed by the all-electric Tesla Model S and Nissan Leaf. Together they account for almost 70 per cent of sales.

Meanwhile, Quebec announced it will increase the number of fast-charge stations for electric vehicles along one of the province’s busiest highways.

Quick-charging stations will be added in two phases in six communities along the 580-kilometre stretch of Highway 20 between Montreal and Mont-Joli.

Quebec aims to increase electric and hybrid vehicles to 100,000 by 2020.

Caitlin’s campaign for music DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

I

n a bit more than a month, Caitlin Goulet’s crowd-funding campaign to help pay for the release of a new single in August will have ended.

By mid-June, she was at one-third of her goal at her pledgemusic.com page to release Way With Me, which she recorded with Grammy Awardwinning writer-producer Jeff Dawson.

The site allows for exclusive items for people who donate ranging from digital downloads to customized T-shirts.

Goulet’s working hard on the campaign because, for her, music is fundamental.

Born in Calgary, she grew up surrounded by the music of the 1960s, from rap to Motown through the dance-music craze of the 1990s.

She was drawn to authentic jazz, its history and the styles that accompanied it, all of which have influenced her today.

At age 19, Goulet moved to Toronto to study at the Randolph Academy of the Performing Arts.

From there, she headed west to Kamloops, taking part in open mics, jams, poetry slams, studying with Jesse Jones and Alan Corbishley and, last year, was a finalist for the Emerging Artist Award as part of the annual Mayor’s Gala for the Arts.

Goulet worked with local music guru Kris Ruston on her first original recordings, Give Me a Moment and Hunter Hunted, later recording Who Will Carry Me with longtime musician and producer Steve Soucy.

A grant from the Foundation Assisting Canadian Talent on Recordings helped her start work on Way With Me alongside Dawson.

Information on Goulet’s campaign and music can be found online at caitlingoulet.com.

Kamloops musician Caitlin Goulet is raising money to release a song she recorded with Grammy Award-winning writer-producer Jeff Dawson.

SPORTS ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

White Lightning goalkeeper Alexa Adema had a stellar match, but there was nothing she could do when Emily James accepted a deft pass from Emerson Goodall and made no mistake to give the Blue Rapids a 1-0 lead in a Kamloops Youth Soccer Association House League final on Sunday on McArthur Island. For more photos, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com.

Game daughters, proud fathers

B

elle Traczuk’s dad runs a crane, Olivia Sjokvist’s old man is a schoolteacher and Nikki Christiaens’ pop drives buses for B.C. Transit — different careers with stresses unique to each workplace.

On Sunday, Father’s Day, they shared the same job — soccer dad — and the same office on chilly, gusty, overcast McArthur Island, holding onto their lawn chairs and coffees for dear life as their daughters left it all on the field in pursuit of gold.

The White Lightning and Blue Rapids squared off in one of nine Kamloops Youth Soccer Association (KYSA) House League finals. The grudge match, which featured the top two teams in the under-13 girls’ division, did not disappoint.

MARTY HASTINGS

The Tattle of

HASTINGS

Goalkeeper Alexa Adema foreshadowed her robust performance in the White Lightning’s net early in the first half, with the Rapids sending waves of attackers forward. She followed one diving save with another highlight-reel stop, corralling the rebound to give her teammates time to regroup and head upfield.

When the Lightning struck, Belle, equal to the task in the Rapids’ net, harnessed their electricity, keeping an airtight seal on the old onion bag behind her, turning aside two valiant attempts from Lucy Faraone midway through the first half.

After the match, Belle’s father admitted to having three heart attacks, saying he was barely able to watch when the Lightning came crashing toward the Rapids’ 18-yard box.

The tension broke briefly when the referee — who called a good game — fell over in the process of trying to avoid a ferocious clearing attempt and was struck with the ball.

Short-lived was the reprieve from anxiety and some parents hid behind their blankets when Emily James of the Rapids rushed in alone on Alexa.

Her shot rolled wide and, as

it turned out, she was in an offside position, so it wouldn’t have counted anyway. Emily’s influence on the match was not over, though — not by a long shot.

Sunday morning’s 10 a.m. kickoff might have came a touch too quickly for a few of the fathers in attendance, some of whom opted to wear sunglasses on a cloudy day, but the referee’s unintended physical comedy and high drama on the pitch had awakened even the night owls by halftime.

If any of the onlookers were slow in refilling their java at the break, they likely missed the match’s turning point.

Emerson Goodall dug in and won control deep in White Lightning territory before sending a picture-perfect cross to Emily, who walloped the ball into the net to give the Rapids a 1-0 lead about 10 minutes into the second half.

Shrieks of joy on one half of

the jam-packed sideline were contrasted by silence on the other, although it wasn’t long before the Lighting supporters were in full voice again, doing their best to cue the comeback.

Substitutions by platoon — three, four, five at a time — kept both teams fresh.

Lightning co-coach Paul Dixon, Rachel’s dad, said a gold-medal triumph would make for a perfect Father’s Day, but he would be proud, whatever the outcome.

The Lightning’s subs screamed words of encouragement, the desperation in their voices more visceral with each passing minute.

Rapids’ co-coach Kevin Smith, Kendall’s dad, championed his charges’ cause, coaxing them to remain vigilant, to build on the lead — and they nearly did.

POND HOCKEY CLASSIC CANCELLED There will be no Logan Lake Pond Hockey Classic in 2017.

The tournament’s executive committee cited a lack of volunteers as reason for the cancellation in a press release on Sunday.

“There is a lack of volunteers able to facilitate the time required to put on this event and without an adequate number of ice crew there is no possibility that

we can go forward,” the release said. “The executive will endeavour to recruit more volunteers for the 2018 Classic and express our sincere apologies to all involved.”

The Whalley Woodchucks won the inaugural Logan Lake Pond Hockey Classic in 2007.

In 2008, the Kamloops-based Oronge Beernuts downed the Woodchucks to claim

the Platinum Division title — and a dynasty began.

Oronge was victorious from 2008 to 2013, the tournament was cancelled in 2014 and the Beernuts did not participate in 2015, when the Tobiano Hackers became only the third team to hoist the top-tier trophy.

Tobiano became a repeat champion in January.

The tournament is a significant economic

generator for the town of 2,100.

Its most successful year, numbers-wise, was in 2013 when 29 teams — mostly consisting of six players per squad — enjoyed great weather conditions and good ice.

The 2016 tournament was attended by 22 teams and was featured in a piece that aired across the nation on Scotiabank Hockey Day in Canada on Feb. 6.

LEAVE A GOLFING LEGACY AT GAMES Golf will be offered this year at the third annual Legacy Performance Games, a multi-sport event that will be run by the Kamloops Sports Council from July 22 to July 24.

There will be a two-person betterball tournament held on July 23 and July 24 at Rivershore Golf Links and Sun Rivers

Golf Course.

The $160 price tag includes two rounds, a banquet lunch on July 24, a power cart at Sun Rivers, an athlete gift and medals for

a podium finish.

Golfers ages 16 and up are invited, although each team must have one player who is at least 19 and both members must have Golf

Canada handicaps.

Wheelchair rugby, wheelchair tennis, beach volleyball and cycling round out the events that will be held at this year’s Games.

The Games were created from funds generated by hosting the Western Canada Summer Games in 2011.

Goalkeeper Belle Traczuk of the Blue Rapids launches a kick in Kamloops Youth Soccer Association play on Sunday on McArthur Island.

Mya Toews wouldn’t let her Lightning teammates wallow in defeat.

She called a huddle, shared a few emboldening words and led the three-cheers chant.

Dads and moms alike did their jobs, congratulating the victors and consoling

the downtrodden.

Both teams ambled over to KYSA headquarters for a trophy ceremony, received medals and posed for pictures before going their separate ways, perhaps out for Father’s Day lunch or back home for quality family time.

There were eight more KYSA House League finals played on Sunday.

In the under-13 boys’ division, the Whitecaps edged the Lightning; under-14 boys, Team 3 downed the Dandy Lions; under-15 boys, the Guacs topped the Bengals; under-16/18 boys, the Seahorses beat Team 1; under-14 girls, Greys took care of the Strikers; under15 girls, Greens bested the Thunder; under-16 girls, Team Blue outmatched the Strikers; and under-17/18 girls, United topped Blue Steele.

Diminutive speedster Amber Delage grounded the Lightning, darting behind enemy lines on two occasions, only to be thwarted by Alexa, who parried away a pair of the spark plug’s shots.

Abbie Phillpotts used her imposing frame to great effect throughout the match to anchor the Lightning’s defence, which proved stalwart late in the second half.

Mr. Traczuk’s third and final heart attack of the morning came in the slobberknocker’s dying moments. One last Lightning surge ended with Belle smothering the ball, securing a clean sheet and a league title for her club.

It was all over but the crying.

The final whistle sounded and the Rapids were champions. They were deserving winners, having conjured the lion’s share of the showdown’s Grade A scoring opportunities.

MacLean to again host Hockey Night in Canada?

RYAN MCKENNA

THE CANADIAN PRESS

Ron MacLean says “nothing’s official’’ following a Toronto Star report he is poised to replace George Stroumboulopoulos as host of Hockey Night in Canada next season.

The longtime broadcaster said “there’s a few balls in the air and things like that’,’ but until Sportsnet executives Scott Moore or Rob Corte “says it’s official, it’s not official.’’

Citing industry sources, the Star reported Sunday that MacLean would return to the main host’s chair, a spot he occupied for nearly 30 years.

A Sportsnet spokeswoman declined comment on the report.

Stroumboulopoulos became the host of Hockey Night in Canada in 2014 after Rogers acquired the NHL rights in a 12-year, $5.2-billion deal.

MacLean saw his role reduced to being Don Cherry’s sidekick on Coach’s Corner and hosting the Sunday night show Hometown Hockey.

In an interview Sunday night, MacLean said he remains focused on those roles for now.

“I love Rogers Hometown Hockey and Coach’s Corner. I’ve got those jobs as it is now,’’ he said. “I’m kind

of focused on that and I think there’s this feeling that we may do more or that I may do more going forward, but I can guarantee that it’s not solid yet until Scott Moore says it is.’’

Moore, the president of Sportsnet and NHL properties, hinted earlier this month there could be changes coming following a low-rated playoff run.

“We’re all kind of just looking at next year and trying to figure out what’s happening,’’ said MacLean.

Audience levels fell below the million mark for many early-round playoff games, which didn’t feature a single Canadian team. While ratings improved for the Stanley Cup final, they were down on average from last season.

Rogers has revamped hockey coverage since taking the reins from CBC. The move to replace MacLean with Stroumboulopoulos has been controversial with Stroumboulopoulos seen by some fans as an outsider.

Stroumboulopoulos is on a fiveyear deal, while MacLean is in the middle of a four-year contract.

Sportsnet announced earlier this month that Cherry had signed a new multi-year deal.

Cavs bring title home TOM WITHERS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLEVELAND — LeBron James stepped off the plane and into a blizzard of red-and-gold confetti before hoisting the Larry O’Brien trophy. It gleamed in the bright summer sun, a symbol of hope and history.

As promised, James brought home a championship, the one on hold the last 52 years.

'This is for you, Cleveland!’’

James shouted into a microphone.

The NBA superstar, born and raised in nearby Akron, powered the Cavaliers to a never-seen-before comeback in the NBA Finals. More than 10,000 fans gathered at Hopkins International Airport yesterday to welcome James and his teammates, who made a pit stop in Las Vegas for late-night partying before completing this unlikeliest June journey.

The Cavs overcame a 3-1 deficit to defeat the Golden State Warriors in seven games, ending Cleveland’s pro sports title drought stretching to 1964.

James, the four-time MVP, paraded the trophy around the perimeter of the parking lot so

Lebron James and the Cavaliers ended a 52-year championship drought in Cleveland.

fans behind the chain-linked fences could see they weren’t dreaming.

“I kept waking up during the night and saying, ‘Did we really win’?’’ said Diana Beetler of Oberlin, Ohio. “I couldn’t believe it. I’ve never had a championship since I was born. We’ve been waiting years and years for this.’’

She watched Sunday night’s game at home with family.

“I cried,’’ said Beetler’s 18-year-old daughter, Zoe. “Everybody cried.’’

It seems the entire city choked up after James capped

his MVP series with a sensational Game 7, a performance that will long be remembered for his chase-down block of Warriors forward Andre Iguodala in the final minutes — a rejection that seemed to erase so many bad memories in Cleveland.

Many of the fans who arrived at the vast I-X Center adjacent to the airport yesterday morning were going on little or no sleep following Sunday night’s riveting victory. The crowd was entertained by music and dancers before cheering replays of the final, frenetic minutes of the game as if they were living them for the first time.

Cavs coach Tyronn Lue, who took over the team in late January, and several other players paused at the top gangway to film and absorb the wild scene below as fans let loose. Following Kyrie Irving and a shirtless J.R. Smith, James was the last player to come through the plane’s door. When he lifted the trophy, Cleveland erupted as it did a few hours earlier after the 93-89 victory.

The party will continue all week — and maybe beyond — with downtown parade planned for tomorrow, a celebration few thought they would ever witness.

Wales wins Euro 2016 group, England second in consecutive games at Euro 2016, ensured Wales won Group B ahead of England, which could only draw 0-0 with Slovakia.

TOULOUSE, France — Wales advanced to the European Championship’s knockout stages as group winner after comprehensively beating Russia 3-0 yesterday.

Goals from Aaron Ramsey, Neil Taylor and Gareth Bale, his third

utes later after slotting in a rebound, his first international goal. Bale then made it 3-0 in the 67th minute with an audacious shot that makes him the tournament’s leading scorer.

“Overall, it was a fantastic performance and we topped the group, which no one would have seen coming,’’ Ramsey said.

“Our main target was to get out of the group. To finish top of the group is a fantastic feeling,’’ he added.

For Russia, defeat meant its time at Euro 2016 is over. The team, which only earned one point in a disappointing campaign, will now focus on the World Cup, which it is hosting in two years.

The Ship

by Henry Van Dyke

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean.

She is on object of beauty & strength & I stand & watch her, until at length, she is only a speck of white cloud just wheret he seas & sky meet and mingle with each other. Then someone at my side exclaims, “There, she’s gone!”

Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large as she was when she left my side & just as able to bear her load of living freight to the place of her destination.

Her diminished size is in me, not her.

And just at the moment when someone at my side says she is gone, there are other eyes watching for her coming and other voices ready to take up the glad shout “There she comes!”.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Irvin Weiss

Joann Karin Stevens

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

Irvin was born on March 30th, 1934 in Ponoka, Alberta to Assaf Weiss and his wife Berta Schindler Weiss.

Irvin spent his youth in Wetaskiwin, Alberta with his siblings Delilah (Lil), Helmut (Hal), Evelyn (Ev), Ben and Harry.

Irvin began hauling materials for his Father around Wetaskiwin and from that point on was involved in the trucking industry. He began by working for H.M. Trimble and Sons (Trimac) in the 50’s and soon started hauling to British Columbia. It was on one of these trips that he met his future wife Janice McCormick at Jade Mountain (Chase), BC. Irvin decided that Kamloops was an ideal location to put down some roots and start a family. They were married February 1961 with Son Randy appearing November 1961 effectively ruining their plans for a 1st Anniversary trip to Hawaii! Daughter Deanna arrived in April of 1964.

The late 60’s saw the start of the Weiss Family tour of British Columbia. Stops included, Prince George, Fort St John, Dawson Creek, Prince George (again), Tasu (Haida Gwaii) before finally settling in Westsyde, Kamloops, BC in 1972 until Janice’s passing in 1998. He moved to the Plaza Suites at the Station where he enjoyed all the amenities close by. He had coffee and golf buddies that he saw on a daily basis. Unless, of course, he was skiing one of his 60 days a season at Sun Peaks.

1947 – 2016

Joann Stevens (nee Miyazawa) of Kamloops, BC, passed away at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House in Kamloops on June 9, 2016 after a lengthy illness. She was 68 years of age.

Joann was predeceased in 2009 by her mother Pearl Wong.

Later in life Irvin did make a career change and for a while sold Real Estate and was involved in the construction industry. In both these instances working alongside close friends.

Joann spent her working career as an insurance agent.

She married Grant Stevens on July 12, 1974. Joann was a member of Rivershore Golf Links in Kamloops.

She enjoyed bowling and cooking. Joann showed tremendous courage and tenacity in her fight against Lupus.

Brian Edward Dennis

Ursula Elisabeth Elke

April 17, 1947 - June 17, 2016

We always joked that if the world was ending we wanted to be on Team Brian...there wasn’t anything he couldn’t do... and do well. Whether it was building a cabin, hunting, fishing, golfing or playing bridge he embraced the challenge and didn’t let up until it was perfect...and we do mean perfect.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Ursula on June 17, 2016 in Kamloops, BC at the age of 83.

So we are all still in shock that after a brief time in the hospital he lost his biggest challenge and left us so quickly—as always, on his own terms.

She will be deeply missed by her two sons Gordon Elke of Kamloops and Wayne (Cheryl) Elke of Kamloops and her grandchildren Alaina, Courtney and Daniel. She was anxiously awaiting the wedding of her granddaughter Courtney to Jared Radmore in July. She will also be deeply missed by her sister Hildegard Dahms of Germany. She will be remembered by many nieces, nephews and extended family and friends.

The family will gather at the place he loved most to share memories and have a wee dram of scotch in his honour.

Brian is survived by his wife Katherine; daughter Trine Dennis (Chuck); daughter Kristina Gifford (Steve); step-daughter Alexis Jensen (Philip); step-son Braden Jensen (Jen); grandchildren Gage, Anja and Destyn Aird and Kassia and Shayla Gifford.

We’d like to thank the nurses and doctors in the ICU who made Brian’s time there comfortable and exhibited such compassion to our family.

Gwendoline Rose Vincett

September 30, 1932 – June 17, 2016

Ursula Elisabeth Elke (Kahnert) was born in Germany on September 30, 1932. She immigrated to Canada in 1952 landing in Winnipeg. In 1959 she married Milbert Elke and moved to Swan River, Manitoba. In 1966 they moved to Kamloops with their two sons Gordon and Wayne where she resided until her passing.

Predeceased by her husband Milbert in 2002 and by her parents a brother and a sister in Germany.

There will be a Celebration of Life on Thursday, June 23 at 11:00 am at the Kamloops Alliance Church with Pastor Larry Boss officiating.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our Mom on June 15, 2016.

The youngest of four children born September 21, 1935 in Alliance, AB. to Jim and Jean Findlay.

She married the love of her life Melvin Vincett in 1957. They lived in various locations throughout Alberta before settling in Ardrossan, AB. where they enjoyed many years of country living. They enjoyed wintering in Arizona until Dad’s sudden passing in 1994.

Due to failing health Mom moved to Kamloops in 2003 to be near her family.

She will be lovingly remembered by her children Crystal (Floyd) and Jim (Jill).

Grandchildren Jamie (John) and Chad (Serena).

Great-Grandchildren Carsen, Ty, Griffin and Amora. Also by her sisters Mary Jean Schnell of Leduc, AB. and Kathy Hill of Lacombe, AB.

Donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Canadian Cancer Society will be greatly appreciated.

The family would like to thank those who cared for Mom during her time at The Hamlets and especially the caring staff at Ridgeview Lodge in her final months.

Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

Honouring Mom’s request there will be no service.

Special thanks to the nurses of 5 North at RIH who treated her with dignity and respect in the last few weeks of her life.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Brian’s name to the BC Lung Association are greatly appreciated. .
