”

— KOYNE WILSON, a friend of Kristopher Teichrieb. Kristopher Teichrieb, 39, seen here on his couchsurfing.com page, is charged with attempted murder after 19-year-old Jessie Simpson was beaten with a weapon near Holt Street and Clifford Avenue on Sunday, June 19.

Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said the incident occurred at about 4:50 a.m. on Sunday when a Clifford Avenue 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 driveway — if

indeed he was in the driveway. Clifford Avenue runs east/west and faces the Thompson River. Holt Street runs north/south and intersects with Clifford Avenue. According to police, the attack occurred on Holt Street. “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. Police have not identifed the weapon was used, but various social-media posts by Simpson’s friends have referred to a baseball bat. Witnesses to the altercation are asked to

contact police at 250828-3000. Teichrieb remains in custody pending today’s first court appearance and an application for bail. The father of three is the owner of at least two construction firms, Dutchman Construction and KCR Construction. The latter company is active in concrete and foundation repair in Kamloops.

Brocklehurst resident Kristopher Teichrieb, 39, is scheduled to appear in a Kamloops courtroom today, charged with attempted murder in connection to the beating last Sunday of 19-year-old Jessie Simpson of Savona, who remained on life support in hospital as of press deadline yesterday. According to Simpson’s uncle, Ron Shewchuk, doctors have told family members that Simpson is brain dead. “We are trying to get Jessie’s brother Blake here from the Royal Military College in Nova Scotia so that the family can be together when we take Jessie off of life support,” Shewchuk wrote on an online page to raise funds for the Simpson family. The gofundme page is online at https:// www.gofundme. com/2adhpvg and had raised more than $6,000 through yesterday. Kamloops RCMP

Walsh wants apologies from city MLAs ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops city councillor wants a provincial moratorium on grocery store wine sales — and an apology from local MLAs Todd Stone and Terry Lake. In a statement to media, Coun. Denis Walsh called changes to liquor laws to allow B.C. wines on grocery store shelves “inept and misguided” policy and argued the city’s MLAs should apologize for criticizing council’s move to block such sales in Kamloops. Next month, council will once again consider whether to allow Save-On-Foods to sell VQA wines in its Sahali store after the company successfully appealed its previous denial. Walsh cited a government report from 2013, in which the government argued liquor and groceries should be kept separate from each other to restrict minors’ access. “To me, that’s a store-within-a-store and now we have wine in grocery stores,” Walsh said.

“They’re not following their own recommendations with these new policies.” Walsh said the government needs to make it clear what its long-term plans are for liquor sales in grocery stores. He said he would consider supporting Save-On’s plans if the store was to sell B.C. wines using the store-withina-store model. Walsh also feels it was unfair of Stone and Lake to publicly criticize council’s decision. When asked if it was not hypocritical of him to criticize the MLAs while asking that they cease criticizing council, Walsh said: “I’m just responding to their criticism. “The mistake they made is they should have had more consultation, especially Terry and Todd, with council,” Walsh said. “They didn’t have to react publicly on this issue. They could have come to council and explained what they feel is the intention of the government.” Speaking to KTW, Stone, MLA for Kamloops-South Thompson and the province’s transportation minister, said he has dis-

cussed the issue with a number of councillors in private. “The bottom line is this: the liquor changes that we’ve made are actually very simple and straightforward, in response to direct consultations we did with tens of thousands of people in British Columbia, including many in Kamloops,” he said. Stone said he feels wine sales in grocery stores aren’t directly comparable to the sale of a full range of alcohol, which supermarkets can only sell in a store-within-a-store. “Even the suggestion of this being a health issue I think is a complete and total red herring,” he said. “There was an independent wine store selling wine around the corner from the Save-On store in Sahali. “That licence was purchased by Save-On and they want to move it 80 metres to the inside of their store and put nothing but BC Wine on those shelves. That’s the issue, I support that and I think the vast majority of people in Kamloops support that as well.”

Koyne Wilson, who described himself as aDue: good friend Teichrieb’s, Juneof14th called him a conscientious boss, a hard worker and “not an angry person. “Something did go wrong and it’s a terrible situation,” Wilson said of the incident. Wilson said he has known Teichrieb for 10 years, working alongside him and boating and dirt-biking together. Teichrieb is a father of three children who live with him. “He’s good with his workers,” Wilson said. “He’s got the biggest heart. He looks out for everybody.” A neighbour of Teichrieb’s acknowledged there are occasionally problems with teens or homeless people stealing property. The home is on Clifford Avenue, just off the direct route down Holt Street to the Thompson River. Teichrieb has two large security signs out front, one of them warning the property is under 24-hour surveillance. “He’s had an issue with people breaking in,” Wilson said, noting the two spoke on Friday, little more than a day before the incident that left Simpson in hospital. “He said he was so tired of people coming on his place and breaking in.” Teichrieb has a profile at couchsurfing.com, a website for people seeking accommodations in

interests as geology, wine, motorcycles, travelling and fishing. He wrote: “I’m a really outgoing down to earth guy who’s interested in like minded individuals, key word adventure! I’m super passionate about life. I am so ready to travel and see a new perspective.” Under Philosophy, he wrote: “Live every moment as if it were your last.” Under One Amazing Thing I’ve Done,” he wrote: “Changed my life around, found god.” Meanwhile, Christina Forde, a neighbour of Simpson’s in Savona, started the gofundme page online. She told KTW she has known Simpson since he was in Grade 4 at Savona elementary alongside her daughter. “Jessie lived at my house for years,” she said. “He was one of the kids.” Forde said Simpson is well liked in the small town 30 minutes west of Kamloops. “I’ve never seen him without a smile on his face . . . kids around here, there’s not a lot of trouble they can get into.” Forde said she has heard Jessie, who graduated from South Kamloops secondary this year, was coming home from a grad party before the violent incident. She described him as small, standing about 5-foot-6, with a slight build.

Jury deciding fate of accused in love triangle murder case CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A jury will decide whether a 16-year-old boy who shot and killed a rival for his girlfriend almost eight years ago planned the murder or shot him in a panic, botching an idea to scare the victim. Defence and Crown lawyers gave final submissions to the 12-person jury in Kamloops on Tuesday morning. Following instructions from B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sheri Donegan, jurors were sequestered late yesterday morning. Tyler Myers, 22, was shot to death in the Bastion elementary schoolyard in Salmon Arm on Nov. 21, 2008. The now-24-year-old man standing trial for his death cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act because he was 16 when Myers was killed. The accused’s ex-girlfriend, now a 25-year-old woman, is also charged with first-degree murder and will stand trial later this year. She cannot be named because she was 17 when Myers died. The accused were charged four years after the slaying, at the end of a months-long RCMP Mr. Big undercover operation that culminated in confessions from both suspects. The trial began earlier this month with the accused pleading guilty to second-degree murder. The Crown declined to accept that plea, forcing a trial and letting the jury decide whether he should be convicted of either first- or seconddegree murder. Defence lawyer Donna Turko told jurors it was the girl who masterminded the murder. Texts were read in court showing the girl was having sex with Myers and the 16-year-old and was also sexting with a friend in California.

“She’s having explicit sexual relations with both men and telling both she loves them,” Turko said, arguing the 16-year-old boy was “lovesick” and was manipulated by the girl. “She was not working on him to hatch a plan,” Turko said. “She was working on him to do her bidding.” The accused testified he intended to scare Myers with a shot and panicked when things went wrong. Turko said her client “didn’t know ahead of time he’d shoot Tyler.” Crown prosecutor Evan Goulet said it’s not disputed that Myers died of three gunshot wounds, one to his back while on his feet and the other two while he was face-down on the ground — one to the head and the other to his back. The accused testified the girl told him “shoot him [Myers] in the head” as he was on the ground. While Turko painted a portrait of her client as the pawn of the girl, hiding in the woods, shaking and shooting in an attempt to scare Myers, Goulet said the accused man’s statement to police when he was arrested in 2012, after the Mr. Big sting, shows what really went on in his head. Evidence from text messages shows the accused man did not want to shoot Myers in the days before his death. But in the statement to police, the accused man said nothing about any attempt to scare Myers in the Salmon Arm schoolyard. Instead, he described hiding some 50 or 60 feet away in the woods, using a stump to line up and steady the .22 he borrowed from a friend before shooting in Myers’ direction. “Yes he was 16,” Goulet said. “He’s still a human being. He’s not a child. He’s not stupid… . There was a plan and everything went according to plan.”

Council hoping $500K is on track For Canada’s 150th birthday, Kamloops city council is hoping for a present of $500,000. Council agreed Tuesday to apply for a grant from the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program — a federal government program celebrating the milestone anniversary — for a grant to renovate the indoor track at the Tournament Capital Centre. Parks, recreation and cultural services director Byron McCorkell said the track was last upgraded in 2010 World Masters Indoor Athletics Championships. “The biggest problem we have with the track is it’s getting way more use than we expected to have on any track,” he said, which has led to excessive wear in some places. The full cost of to replace the indoor surface is pegged at $1.5 million.

Idle no more in the city?

An anti-idling program is coming to Kamloops, but residents won’t be the first target. Sustainability services super-

visor Glen Cheetham told council the city hopes to roll out an in-house anti-idling campaign focused on city staff this fall as part of its mission to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions in the city. While a community antiidling strategy is in the cards, Cheetham said staff won’t begin shaping that program until later this year. The anti-idling program will launch as the city also begins using GPS tracking across its fleet in a bid to improve efficiency.

Green goal far from target

With four years left to meet its goal of reducing its greenhouse emissions by 45 per cent from 2007 levels, the City of Kamloops has a long way to go. At its Tuesday meeting, city council heard the city had reduced greenhouse-gas emissions by just under six per cent since 2007, when it signed B.C.’s Climate Action Charter. The charter requires communities to significantly reduce emissions in

exchange for grant money. “We’re not on target, but we’re going in the right direction,” said Cheetham. “From what I understand, those are ambitious targets.” Cheetham noted the city has mainly focused on improving energy consumption in its buildings — for example, swapping out old boilers for highefficiency models — but has not yet turned its attention to its fleet of vehicles, which account for approximately 45 per cent of corporate emissions. Council voted unanimously to fund two sustainability projects using its climate-action cash. The first will see new icemaking technology installed at Brock Arena. The REALice system requires less hot water for ice resurfacing, which will save the city about $16,000 in energy costs. Council also agreed to fund a $39,000 energy-management system, which allows the city to track electricity and natural-gas consumption across its facilities.

Barbara Zibrik, executive director of the humane society, said the kitten was stolen between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. from the store in the Cityview Shopping Centre in Aberdeen. “They have no idea why,” she said. “They said the store was busy and I guess there was a woman in last night who tried to put the kitten in her bag, but the staff member who was on caught her and put the kitten back again, so I don’t know if it was the same woman again.” Because there is a space for the kittens to sleep out of public view, Zibrik said staff didn’t immediately notice Max had disappeared and aren’t able

to determine for sure who was in the store at the time. Zibrik said the RCMP have been alerted to the theft, noting Max is microchipped and tattooed and should be easy to identify. “I’m just sick about this. He’s a very beautiful medium-haired, fluffy brown tabby, incredibly sweet, and a lot of people were interested in him,” she said. “We’ve never had this happen in the 25 years we’ve been doing this. It’s just awful.” Zibrik said a volunteer has offered an award for the kitten’s safe return. To adopt a Humane Society kitten, would-be pet owners must fill out a questionnaire and pay a $125 fee. “You really worry about a person who would do this and what kind of a home they would provide or what they’re doing with him,” Zibrik said. If you have information about the theft, call the Humane Society at 250376-1366.

VIEWPOINT

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

RECLAMATION PROJECT A MUST

t some point in the future, those well-paying jobs and all the machines will be gone and what was once a frenetic mine site will be silent — and in need of proper reclamation. It will happen at Highland Valley, it will happen at New Afton and, if it is approved by the powers-that-be, it will happen at Ajax. And, in the future, there will be more mines, close to communities or in the middle of nowhere, that will also eventually stop production, bringing in the need for reclamation. This reality is why the latest partnership between Thompson Rivers University and a mining company is good news. Last week, New Afton owner New Gold announced a $200,000 pledge toward the development of an industrial research chair at TRU through the federal Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council. New Gold’s gift was preceded by donations of $250,000 from Genome BC and $150,000 from the Real Estate Foundation of BC. There has now been $600,000 raised, with the university hoping matching grants from Ottawa will lead to $2 million being collected to let research chair candidate Lauchlan Fraser do his work. As the TRU professor has explained before, his goal is to do research “using modern genetic tools to help solve environmental disturbances caused by mining, forestry and ranching and the challenges of restoration in the face of climate change.” Canada is a mining nation. B.C. is a mining province. The challenge that faces us is finding ways to mine that create the least impact on the environment and finding ways to clean up the mess that is left when the mines shut down. Already TRU and New Gold have done interesting work at New Afton just west of the city. With more funding, greater advances can be realized.

A week for all of us to weep

don’t know Jessie Simpson, but I weep for him. Tears flow for the family I also don’t know, the people who are faced with such a tragedy as their son and brother remained on life support yesterday after being beaten last weekend. I never want to be in such an agonizing situation. No one does. And I’m sure the man accused in the assault would never want to live through that kind of nightmare. A dear friend, another young man who has had to fight his own battles against hate and fear, asked why this happened. What could have possibly caused this confrontation in Brock? All that remain are hearts as broken as Simpson’s body. Today’s default move when one is curious about someone is to check Facebook. It rarely gives you a complete idea of who the person is, but it can point to indicators. On Jessie’s page, I see plenty of young people I know who, just like him, recently graduated from high school and were anticipating the next steps in their lives. Good kids all. The next step is to check out the crowd-funding page — there usually is one and it is always heartbreaking to read the thoughts of friends and family as they pay tribute to a loved one. “To know Jessie and his humour, giant smile and the biggest blue eyes, you would know that he did not deserve a baseball bat beating from an

LEVEL unknown man,” she wrote. Within hours, that fund had topped its $5,000 goal, with the money going to the Simpson family to help with expenses. Another wrote on the site: “My sons and your relationship was so close it was like having another son. Forever in the hearts of so many.” Eventually, we will learn at least one version about what happened, but I can already foresee what the crucial emotion was that led to this tragedy — fear. It’s something my friend who triggered this column has faced for decades. People fear who he is and how he lives, even though he is no different from any of us. He’s a young, educated man with hopes and dreams, ambitions and loves, who cares deeply about others and has spent years standing up for the marginalized and misunderstood. Below the border, we’ve watched a failed businessman/ personality/entrepreneur create and exploit fears that simply defy logic. A recent post noted that if you

feel you need to take your gun with you to the store to buy a jug of milk, there is something seriously wrong with the society in which you live. We have watched our own politicians in the past decade also try to capitalize on — and, in some cases, create — fear of things that are simply other people’s realities. I’m sick of it. It has to end. It’s not what we were taught as children. We fear the bogeyman. We fear the obvious and clearly defined evils of the world. We don’t fear a teenager standing in a driveway — but, if we do, we don’t go out with a weapon. We default to that other lesson we all learned as kids, that the police are there to help us when we need them. Yes, there have been times when I’ve questioned that resolve, but I still know that, if I was to have seen someone standing in my driveway, I would have asked if there was a problem and, if I wasn’t confident with the answer, I know how to dial 9-1-1. Instead, today I share the grief of my friend and others, many of us saddened for the attack on a young man we do not know. And I weep for his parents and brother, his aunts and uncles, his neighbours and friends. We all should grieve for them and for ourselves because this should not be our world. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR LOTTERY HELPS THE KIDS Editor: A small investment yields great benefits. Thank you Kamloops residents for supporting the Lions Food Lottery. The Kamloops Aberdeen and BrockCentral Lions partnered with Save-OnFoods to raise another $5,000 for the children with disabilities camperships program at Camp Winfield. In the last two years, more than 40 children from Kamloops and area have enjoyed the time of their lives at the camp. The winners for the total of $2,300 in food gift certificates are: • $1,000, Connie Robson; • $500, Joan Sabo; • $250, Lane McGarrity; • $100, Less Major, Angee Gillespie, S. Benedict, Debbie Coulombo, Jan Fraser; • $50, C. Benedict. Howard Swaren 2016 chairperson Lions Food Lottery

ALL OPINION, NO FACTS Editor: I read with interest Tom Fletcher’s column of June 21 (‘Updating Devil’s Dictionary’). After reading it, I realized the most interesting thing about it was that it was 100 per cent opinion and zero per cent rational argument. But I guess that’s what makes your Viewpoint page so great. Robert Spanell Kamloops

KTW reader Kevin Kierans said Telus’s fibre-optic cable installation damaged the irrigation system of a home he owns in Juniper Ridge. Although the repair bill is modest — $130 — Kierans said he has not heard from Telus despite contacting the company seven times.

MORE FIBRE-OPTIC WOES Editor: I read Marvin Dyck’s letter of June 16 (‘Fibre-optic installation woes’) with considerable interest. I, too, have similar woes. During the past winter, Telus upgraded the Juniper Ridge neighbourhood and ran fibre-optic cable (encased in a three-or-four-inch-wide bright red plastic conduit) up Nechako Drive. In doing so, they damaged the lawn irrigation system of the house I own there, something we didn’t discover until the spring, when we first turned it on. I contacted Telus on May 3 and was assured “someone will look into it.” I’ve since had the original irrigation system installer fix the damage. The installer said the damage was obviously done by the fibre-optic installation and he sent me pictures, which I forwarded to Telus, along with the $130 repair bill. I have yet to hear a word from Telus, despite (and I’ve kept a log) seven phone calls or emails. I don’t know about the folks at Telus, but my mother taught me that if you break something that isn’t yours, you fix it or replace it — quickly. I’m still waiting. Kevin Kierans Kamloops

GRATITUDE AFTER CRASH Editor: I would like to thank all the people who helped me on the morning of Friday, May 6, after my accident at First Avenue and Seymour Street. To the lady who called 911, to the police officers and paramedics, to the man and woman from Venture Kamloops who called my employer, to Const. Goodyear and the staff at Royal Inland Hospital — thank you and God bless. Patricia Bloomfield Kamloops

A federal government program to get young Canadians into summer jobs is expanding — but one local employer said the quality of jobs he can offer is suffering because the program isn’t properly funded. “It’s a complete shell game,” North Shore Business Improvement Association (NSBIA) general manager Steven Puhallo told KTW. The NSBIA has used the Canada Summer Jobs program to hire two community co-ordinators each summer for the past three years to help organize events, connect with businesses and do administrative work. Puhallo said the posting has run until the end of August in the past, but this year the association was only given enough money to cover two-thirds of the usual time. When the NSBIA contacted Canada Summer Jobs, Puhallo said, he was told the application had scored highly, but because the federal agency had been directed to fund twice as many jobs without twice as much funding, there was not enough cash to give employers a full summers’ worth of funding. “It means they don’t get the full experience, they don’t get full-time jobs,” Puhallo said. “Canada Summer Jobs is about building your resume. These kids how have had their hours cut back are missing out on that.” Puhallo said the NSBIA was already interviewing for its summer co-ordinators when it learned of the cut in hours.

ACTIVITY GUIDE

While it still found students willing to take the position, both will have to look for new work in mid-July. The federal government announced it had funded 77,000 jobs this year, compared to 34,000 in 2015. The program is used to created jobs for people between the ages of 15 and 30 who are full-time students. According to a release, funding for summer jobs increased by $113 million this year. A spokesman from Employment and Social Development Canada said job duration hasn’t changed nationally from 2015. “The objective is to support as many students as possible getting a work experience and as many employers as possible, considering the economic context,” the spokesman said. “The eligibility and assessment criteria did not change this year and an employer is not guaranteed the same number of positions and hours from year to year.” Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod said she has had two complaints about this year’s job program from local employers, and has heard similar stories from MPs in other ridings. In one case, she said, an employer decreased the number of students hired in order to offer full-time hours. McLeod said it’s only just come to her attention that the reduction may involve more than one or two employers. “I’m not quite sure why they reduced the hours, if it was to say they doubled the jobs,” she said.

Kamloops-raised author out at UBC STEVEN GALLOWAY WAS SUSPENDED LAST YEAR DUE TO WHAT UNIVERSITY CALLED SERIOUS ALLEGATIONS OF MISCONDUCT THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — The University of British Columbia said the chair of its creative-writing program is no longer employed by the school over what it called an “irreparable breach of trust.’’ In a statement, the school said acclaimed writer Steven Galloway was suspended in November of last year while an investigation was completed over what it said were serious allegations of misconduct. Additional complaints were also received after he was suspended and Mary Ellen Boyd, a former B.C. Supreme Court justice, was appointed to conduct an investigation. Details of those allegations weren’t released, but the school said Galloway did not dispute any of the critical findings when the dean of arts, Gage Averill, reviewed the report with him. Philip Steenkamp, the vicepresident external relations at UBC, wouldn’t say if Galloway quit or if he was fired. He noted that when the president recommends termination of a faculty member, it needs to be approved by the board and that approval was given on Tuesday. Galloway, who grew up in Kamloops and attended the University College of the Cariboo (now Thompson Rivers University) and UBC, could not be reached for comment. Steenkamp said all of the complainants who came forward have been offered support and counselling services by the university. Galloway is the author of three novels, including The Confabulist and The Cellist of Sarajevo and was

nominated for the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award and the Scotiabank Giller Prize. He started working as an assistant professor at the school in September 2001 and was appointed chair of creative writing in 2013. The university said its president met with Galloway on June 3. “As a result of the findings in this meeting, coupled with the dean’s recommendation and the investigative findings . . . the president concluded that there was a record of misconduct that resulted in an irreparable breach of the trust placed in faculty members STEVEN GALLOWAY by the university, its students and the general public,’’ the statement says. The university said it had to balance a number of issues in investigating the case and reporting on its outcome. “These kinds of cases are always very difficult for everyone involved,’’ it said. “The university acknowledges the community’s need for information and assurance that its processes have been applied fairly. “At the same time, the university must balance the need to respect the personal privacy of both complainants and respondents and to provide them with a safe space in which to bring forward their concerns and perspectives.’’

ǻÌ ŘĨ PM likes Britain in EU ɴŸȖʵ

Debbie Clark Gerry Miller Greta Popove Julie Kimmel Karen Bainas Laurie Harder Marianne Branham

Lil Selman Lynn Neufeld Nicki Johnson Penny Marshall Sam Ma� Theresa Thoms

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau affirmed his desire yesterday to see Britain remain in the European Union, on the eve of a historic vote marked by fierce campaigning and fond remembrance of a slain British lawmaker. Trudeau said he wants to see Britain continue to be a strong voice in support of trade and economic prosperity as the country’s voters decide today whether to remain part of the 28-country bloc. Canada needs

British support to move forward with the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, he added. “Great Britain has always been a strong and positive voice around the European table in support of CETA,’’ Trudeau told a news conference. “So, we certainly hope that the outcome will continue to assure that CETA has as many strong voices in support of it as we move forward towards ratification and implemen-

tation of an important deal for Canadians, for jobs and for our shared future.’’ The trade deal is a potentially lucrative one that both sides want to see ratified and in force by early next year. Trudeau said he’ll be watching the referendum closely, but added it will be up to the British people to decide their future. He made it clear, however, he is not in favour of the so-called Brexit campaign to leave the EU.

road. We took a left and stayed along the lake as we were told this would bring us to the bridge where the trailhead to the other lake in the chain starts. It took us almost an hour to find the bridge since we stopped for photo-ops and took the longer way around Lightening Lake. The unique covered wooden bridge that crosses the channel between Lightning and Flash lakes is a Manning Park landmark and was a hub of activity. Swimmers jumped off the bridge and into

the deep waters below while paddlers cruised under it on their way to the other lakes. We crossed the bridge and followed the trail that looped Flash Lake. Along the way, we were bombarded with whiskey jacks, cute scavenger birds that love to eat snacks out of your hand. We fed them some of our trail mix before continuing on our way. At the end of the lake, we had the option of taking a short trail to Strike Lake. By this time, howev-

er, our legs were getting tired, so we completed the loop and made our way back to the day area, bought some ice cream and watched people cooling off in the lake while wishing we had the energy to rent a kayak. The next time we visit the lakes, we will explore them by boat as canoe, paddle boards and kayak rentals are available. Backcountry camping is also permitted in sites along the chain of lakes — and parking is free.

How to get there

Manning Park is located on the Crowsnest Highway (Highway 3) between Hope and Princeton. Turn into the Manning Park Resort and get a trail map. From there, you will head up a well-marked road that will take you to the parking lot. Teresa Cline is a local outdoors enthusiast whose website and books open up a world of day-trip possibilities.

the body of water. However, the lake is unique in that it drains in two directions: into Flash Lake to the south and into the Similkameen River to the north. It is part of a chain of lakes that also include Flash Lake, Strike Lake and Thunder Lake. I did this hike in August with my friend Tracey, who lives in Chilliwack, as it was a great place to meet in the middle. When we got to the Manning Park Resort and looked around at the gorgeous facilities, we regretted not booking a chalet for the night and making a weekend of it. After getting a free trail map at the lodge, we made our way up to the day parking area at Lightning Lake. It was a hot day and the lake was filled with paddlers. We walked up a set of steps behind the boatrental shop that brought us onto the lake’s loop trail. The trail eventually came to a fork at a back

Testing the waters ROBERT KOOPMANS PHOTO/BLISS FLOAT CENTRE

NEW BUSINESS AFLOAT

JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

anette Fessenden can list many reasons to float. There’s relaxation and meditation, inspiring creative “a-ha!” moments, ailing chronic pain, soothing fatigued muscles — or simply “90 minutes of peace and quiet and silence.”

Between managing her day job as an accountant, being a single mother of two and opening a new business, Fessenden relies on the therapy for the latter reason. “I run at 110 miles an hour all the time,” she said. “I have difficulties getting my mind to shut down.” When KTW visited Bliss Float Centre, multiple phones were ringing while customers walked through the

door for their first-ever float. Adding to the hustle and bustle was the fact the new Aberdeen business is working out kinks. “We’ve had some connection issues with the lights and the music. The water and the filtration and the cabins themselves are perfect. They’re awesome,” Fessenden said. “Where we’re having some growing pains is connecting

the accessories.” It has meant sleepless nights to get everything up and running, but Fessenden eases the stress by floating at least once a week. That means climbing into a sensorydeprivation tank — the water temperature is body temperature and the music and lighting eventually gives way to complete silence and darkness — and lying in water 10 times as salty as the ocean. The effect? “Your whole body floats effortlessly,” Fessenden said. “It does sort of create an anti-gravity environment.” She first heard about floating from her brother, who lives in Edmonton. “He bought me a float in Kelowna and

said, ‘Trust me, it’s worth the drive,’” she said. “Instantly after my float I loved it. I’m like, ‘Done, I’m going to bring this to Kamloops.’” That was a year ago and Fessenden has since opened the only business of its kind in the River City. Bliss Float Centre opened at 205-1150 Hillside Dr. (across from Aberdeen Mall at the corner of Hillside Drive and Hillside Way) earlier this month. Fessenden got advice from the owner of that same float centre in Kelowna because, she said, it’s different from building other businesses. Take construction, for example. Each of the three float chamber rooms at Bliss required specific plumbing and were built to be sound-

proof and waterproof, while able to withstand wear and tear from the salt. “It’s an unusual kind of build,” Fessenden said. Now that Bliss is open, she said she has become part of a growing community. “I’m starting to get calls now [from other start-up companies], which is pretty flattering.” Bliss’s first week of operation was busy. One customer said she had been waiting to try floating and was delighted to learn of the opening in Kamloops. Having posted her experience on social media, she noted others who were curious about the therapy. See ‘THE IDEA’, A16

Joe Rogan clearly thinks highly of floating. “Everyone should be doing it, it’s a f——- amazing way to think,” his voice resounded in an audio recording on Bliss Float Centre’s website. I wondered whether I would have some kind of “a-ha!” moment and was slightly nervous to climb into a closed, confined space due to anxiety issues. That thought is common, Fessenden said of the floating chambers, but was ultimately unjustified. They are large enough to stand in and, when the lights go out, you forget you’re inside a tank. When I climbed in, closed the door behind me and reclined in the water, my initial thought was something like, “Oh, you really do float.” The lights and music turned off almost immediately (perhaps a kink Fessenden had mentioned), so I splashed in the water to get used to the space and gain my bearings. When I settled in, I noticed a strain in my neck. I had been holding my head up, trying to keep my ears above the water. Only when I let them sink below the surface did I really let go and relax. My body became weightless and irrelevant. It is so dark and quiet that you are left with only your thoughts, which I explored. See page A16

‘The idea is that you don’t feel anything’ From A15

While new to Kamloops, Fessenden said the therapy dates back decades. “Floating has been around since the ‘50s. It was popular in the ‘70s and ‘80s and then

it died,” she said. “But in the last two to five years, it’s really exploded.” Float centres have made their way to the trendy areas of Vancouver — Yaletown and Gastown both have them — and

American media personality Joe Rogan has promoted it in recent years. “I think people are finding a need, you know, how do I disconnect?” Fessenden said. “How do I just relax?” KTW took a tour of the facility before hopping into a chamber to test the waters. The salt density prevents those who fall asleep — which is common, Fessenden said — from drowning. “It is impossible to drown,” she said. “If you’re sleeping in the tank, the worst case is you’ll roll over and get a bit of salt water in your eyes, but you don’t sink. You do not sink.” Where chlorinated pool water feels almost rough on the skin, salt water has a smoother feel. Floating water is even slicker still. “It feels silky,” Fessenden said. “And in a minute, your hand will be white because the salt will dry.” Between each floater, the water is turned over three times through a pool filter, a hair basket and an ultraviolet light. “By the time the filtration system runs, the water is basically as sanitary as drinking water,” Fessenden said. Floaters are required to shower before to remove body oils and personal hygiene products and

again after floating to remove the salt. Floaters are charged the cost of replacing the water if the water is contaminated by body fluids. And don’t worry

about packing your swimsuit — you float naked. “The idea is that you don’t feel anything,” Fessenden said. “The less amount of touch stimulation and any kind of that stuff, the better.”

Fessenden’s words came to mind. “We do encourage people to play with body position to find out what is more comfortable,” she said. “Play with it and see what works for you.” My arms had naturally folded into some kind of chicken wing position, so I swung them over my head. Hello, arms. (Splashing and movement are reminders you have limbs and a body.) From there, I touched the back of the tank and pushed off from the hard surface. It felt like moving in slow motion and I likened it to floating in space. It was fun and I bounced off the sides of the walls before testing out a miniature pool noodle and head rest, but the props felt like distractions. Floating naturally suited me better — so chicken wing arms it was. With a busy life, the absolute peace and quiet was noticeable and the next thing I knew, I woke up — alarmed. The music turned on almost immediately and I popped up, sure I had slept for longer than the allotted time. Thoughts: “Where the hell was I and what the hell time was it?” “Where the hell was my cellphone?” (Yep, guilty.) “Interesting, no pruning.” Those were my limited clear thoughts because my body was gushy and my mind was mushy — truth be told, it felt like I had just gotten high in a hot tub. There had been no “a-ha!” moment for me but, like Fessenden, my mind had temporarily shut down, which is a luxury in my busy-body life. Fessenden said the benefits of floating are based on the individual. To liken my experience to Rogan’s, I’d say, “everyone should be doing it, it’s a f——— amazing nap.” — Jessica Wallace

Lillooet needs votes to win new playground BCAA is giving away $100,000 for some lucky community to use to build a playground. One of five finalists competing for the prize is Lillooet, the Fraser Canyon town two hours west of Kamloops. The winning community will be the one that amasses the most online votes. Kamloops resident

Larrie Hicks is urging Kamloopsians to go online and add to the town’s vote tally. “You might ask yourself why the people of Kamloops should be voting for Lillooet to win a playground and I can answer that it is for two reasons,” Hicks said. “First, the people of Lillooet mostly travel to Kamloops to purchase their supplies,

furniture, appliances, groceries, clothing etc. As well, when the people of Lillooet are shopping in Kamloops, they will have a meal in a Kamloops restaurant and some of them might even stay overnight in a local hotel/ motel. This all really adds to the Kamloops economy. “The second reason to vote for the playground in Lillooet is

because I know that all of the people in Kamloops are very generous,” Hicks said. “I have seen this with the outpouring of financial assistance to various causes and, most recently, the Fort McMurray fire victims.” Voting can be done online at bcaaplayhere. com until June 29. The winning community will be announced on July 11.

Volunteer Kamloops wants input Volunteer Kamloops is asking the public to complete a survey to get a better understanding of community involvement and how it can best increase its profile. Volunteer Kamloops was created in 1985 under Volunteer BC. It has two main programs, with LINK being the most prominent. LINK is a program anyone in the community can use to gain work experience or become involved in the community. The second program is called FOCUS, a refer-

ral program for those with mental disabilities. It is a self-sustaining program that provides those with disabilities $100 monthly incentives to be active in the community by doing volunteer work. Two other programs are being planned — one focused on youth and the other on the international population. The main focus of Volunteer Kamloops is to connect volunteers to opportunities in the community. The survey can be found online at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RJWB92Y.

The second phase of public consultation for the city’s updated Official Community Plan wrapped up with an event at Aberdeen Mall on Saturday. Using the feedback, city planners will begin drafting a new Kamplan, which the public will get another look at later this year. The city hopes to have the new plan finalized by late 2016 or early 2017. The city asked the community whether it should try to promote more growth in the city’s core, or continue to plan for more than half the city’s population growth to come from the southwest over the next 20 years.

Bike on Sunday to quash stigma

An annual charity bike ride in support of the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) raised more than $1 million across the country last year

age and commitment from so many, who aren’t going to allow a mental illness, either their own or that of someone they know, to keep them in the shadows. What better way to come out of the shadows than going for a ride on a summer day with hundreds of new friends?” The event was inspired by Vancouver teacher Michael Schratter, who biked 40,000 kilometres around the world in 2010 to help banish the stigma of mental illness and show it doesn’t prevent someone from following their dreams. “It’s extraordinary and inspiring to see how many Canadians are joining the movement,” said Dr. Patrick Smith, CMHA’s National CEO. “The ride has grown from a local event into one spanning 32 communities across the country. Canadians are biking together with firm purpose, to raise awareness and funds so that people affected by mental illness will no longer have to hide.” Ride Don’t Hide started with two B.C. rides in 2012 and raised $85,000. Last year, more than 6,000 cyclists took part in 27 rides, raising $1,165,834. This year’s goal is to raise more than $1.5 million. “Each year we get amazing feedback on what a fun and empowering event Ride Don’t Hide is,” Gutray said. “Each community event has its own unique flavour, but across the map people are coming back year after year and bringing their friends, families and colleagues. We are ready to come together to banish the stigma for good. And it’s about time.” The Kamloops event begins at Centennial Park in Westsyde at 9 a.m. Cost is $35, including a tee-shirt. Kids ride free with a registered adult but can purchase a shirt for $12. To learn more or register, go online to ridedonthide.com.

Mercedes delivers true sports car KEITH MORGAN

SPECIAL TO KTW

drivewaycanada.com

he agile 2017 MercedesBenz C300 4MATIC easily and smoothly picked up the pace as the posted speed limits allowed along the picturesque Route 138 on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River. The people we whipped past, who were watching fast flowing river, were better placed to comment on the sound of the sleek two-door machine. But inside the quiet cabin both of its occupants commented on the unexpected throaty rumble emanating from the 2.0-litre, fourcylinder engine under the long hood. It truly bears the most obvious hallmarks of a true sports car in sight and sound. The question was whether the base model — if we dare dub any Mercedes base — could also offer performance. Not next to its sibling C 450 AMG Sport 4MATIC, set to arrive this fall with a 362-horsepower power plant at its disposal. Or the MercedesAMG C 63 and C 63 S, both of which feature

The Mercedes Benz C-Class Coupe has the look of a classic sports car and offers the horsepower to satisfy a need for speed.

a twin-turbo, 4.0L V8 matched to a sevenspeed automatic. The latter two models output of 469 and 503 horsepower respectively positively dwarf the 241 horses pulling the C300. That said, all but an enthusiast would likely find this car sporty enough to satisfy their everyday need for speed be that on a commute or a longer vacation road trip. The C300’s sevenspeed automatic transmission played a major

role in putting pleasure into the two-day drive through rural Quebec. (The promise of a new nine-speed tranny in the 2018 model makes one wonder just how much more of an improvement can be expected.) By the way, allwheel drive is standard here in the Great White North. The four-mode drive system offers noticeable differences in the driving experience unlike many other multi-mode systems yours truly

has tried. Eco saves the dollars but not at the expense of getting from A to B smartly. Still not a fan of the stalk-mounted gear shifter but I’d likely get used to it if somebody gifted me a C-Coupe. Quick mention: While the raked back coupe look limits the view to the rear style, it’s not enough to be distressing. Comfort is definitely suited to the long drive, with Sport and Sport+ offering

fun while imagining you are either Lewis Hamilton or Nico Rosberg, MB’s F1 driver duo. Thinking they may expect more than the zero to 100 klicks in seconds offered by the C300. OK, racecar fantasies over. The C-Class Coupe cockpit is lovely: choice of colours for the leather upholstery and a variety of interior trim choice, including wood and carbon fibre. Comfy up front —

less so in the back seat — but anybody planning to drive at maximum passenger capacity on a regular basis is likely going to opt for the roomier sedan. The 16-way front seat adjustment spoils one for choice in positioning. The seven-inch infotainment screen has a standard touchpad and large control knob for scrolling through the functions. Takes practice. Technology-wise:

standard is attention assist, which prompts you to take a break when your driving style suggests you are tired). Collision prevention assist plus, blind spot assist, eight air bags and rain-sensing windshield wipers also come standard. There’s also crosswind assist that reacts to gusts of winds during highway driving — nary experienced a breeze on the drive. There’s an available intelligent drive package, which includes automatic braking and some automatic steering that keeps the vehicle centred in your lane of choice. This should not be confused with systems that react only when you begin to drift out of lane. And there’s an ever growing list of other safety tech such as a 360-degree camera that monitors all sides when parking. The starting sticker price is $48,100 for the base model and its standard equipment certainly makes it competitive with similarly equipped models, mainly from its German rivals. Take one for a lengthy spin if you have 50 grand-plus burning a hole in your jeans (once you add some options you know what happens).

Curling concussion protocol introduced NATIONAL GOVERNING BODY COVERING BACKSIDE WITH HEADY RULES

ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

t’s not a rampant problem on the pebbled ice, but Curling Canada is taking steps to protect the heads of its elite athletes. The governing body for curling north of the border announced a new return-to-play protocol at its National Curling Congress in Ontario last week, outlining the procedure for athletes who are suspected to have suffered a head injury at a Curling Canadaoperated event. “They’re not a major thing in curling, no, but they do happen and I think it’s important for all athletes to make sure they’re protecting themselves in their sports, especially their heads,” said the Kamloops Curling Club’s Karla Thompson, who represented B.C. at the 2016 Scotties Tournament of Hearts. “I haven’t seen too many injuries amongst the higherlevel curling, but in club curling

I have seen some, for sure.” According to the protocol, when an athlete falls during a game and a head injury is suspected, examination by a physician will be required. If a concussion is diagnosed, the athlete will be required to undergo and pass a five-step testing process, each requiring a minimum of 24 hours, before being cleared to return. While following concussion protocol will only be required at Canada Curling events, the governing body is also recommending its adoption by provincial and territorial sport organizations and Canadian curling centres. Kamloops Curling Club general manager Rob Nordin hadn’t heard about the new policies when he spoke with KTW, but said they would be difficult to adopt at the club level, given the resources centres have to operate with. His club generally has a few falls each year, but didn’t have any major injuries last year.

“It’s not very prevalent,” Nordin said. The Kamloops Curling Club does have helmets available for purchase. Curling Canada’s new policy includes a recommendation that curlers 12 and under, casual curlers and curlers 65 and over use protective head gear. “I believe it’s all insurance driven,” Nordin continued. “If you’re a little proactive, you can say, ‘Hey, we did everything that was reasonably possible and some people just have to take the onus on themselves.’” Perhaps the most well known fall in professional curling came in October, when Newfoundland’s Brad Gushue was taken to hospital after slipping and hitting the ice face first in a game at the Grand Slam of Curling Masters. Gushue returned to action a few ends later, sporting seven stitches above his right eye. It’s the sort of incident Curling Canada’s new policy

will attempt to monitor. “I think the idea of it will be received just fine by curlers, just because there isn’t that many injuries and everybody just wants to be healthy,” Thompson said. “Everyone will want to get back out there as quickly as they can. Hopefully, people understand that the rules are in place to protect them. Hopefully, they never have to enforce them.”

New format on the way

Also coming out of the National Curling Congress was new formats for the 2017-2018 Tim Hortons Brier and Scotties Tournament of Hearts. Both national championships will expand to 16 teams, featuring the champions of the nation’s 14 member associations, the defending champion as Team Canada, as well as the top-ranked non-qualified team on the Canadian Team Ranking System. Teams will be split into two

pools of eight, with the top four teams from each pool advancing to a championship pool that will determine the four playoff teams. “Well, being a team that played in relegation last year because of the placing of the team the previous year, I’m not sad to see relegation go, that’s for sure,” Thompson told KTW. “It wasn’t the most enjoyable part of the Scotties, that’s for sure.” Because B.C. finished last in the 2015 Scotties, Thompson and her rink were forced to play in a fourteam, three-game relegation tournament to start 2016, with the top two teams advancing to the main portion of the Scotties. That format will be used once more, before the new system comes into effect the following year. “I definitely didn’t like the relegation and I do want it to be fair so all the provinces get a spot,” Thompson said. “It seems like a logical solution to me.”

Venom second in TOJLL ranks

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

Matt Hans made 31 stops for the Kamloops Venom in a 19-5 victory over the Armstrong Shamrocks last weekend at Memorial Arena.

The Kamloops Venom will return to the floor on Sunday, when they host the Armstrong Shamrocks at Memorial Arena. Game time is 7:30 p.m. Kamloops improved to 10-4-0 on the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League season last Friday, thumping Armstrong 19-5 to win its second game in as many nights.

The Venom defeated the South Okanagan Flames of Penticton 13-6 a day earlier. Against the Shamrocks, Kamloops scored 11 of the 12 first-period goals, pushing the hometown club out to an early lead. The Venom outshot the Shamrocks 62-36. Kyle Pauwels led the offence, recording eight assists. Monty Chisholm

an assist in the victory. Kamloops is second in league standings, one point ahead of South Okanagan and three points back of the first-place Vernon Tigers.

Memorial Arena new Storm epicentre ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Ed Patterson’s last junior game in Kamloops was played at Memorial Arena, a 7-0 defeat of the Saskatoon Blades in Game 7 of the WHL final to capture the club’s fourth championship and set the table for its first Memorial Cup title. The Kamloops Storm head coach is now hoping he’ll have the opportunity to win another junior title in the downtown barn. The Storm confirmed yesterday the junior B club will make Memorial Arena its permanent home next season, shirking the North Shore and its McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre that has housed the team since it first moved to Kamloops from Osoyoos in 2006. “It’s a good move for us. It gives us a bit more freedom with ice that we didn’t have at McArthur Island and I think it will be a good business opportunity,” Storm owner and general manager Barry Dewar told KTW. “I think it will be good, I think it will just be different.” A number of factors prompted the

move, most notably the scheduling freedom the Storm will now have. With the door open for weekday games at Memorial, Kamloops is expected to play at least five Wednesday night games in the 20162017 season and will have fewer contests on Sunday afternoons. The club has also

reduced the number of conflicts it will have with the Kamloops Blazers. Dewar said it is expected the teams will play on the same night only once next season and the Storm are looking to have that contest moved, too. “It makes it a lot easier,” he said. “The Blazers are such a good

draw, but we steal some of their fans every time we play on the same night and they steal some of ours, so it’s not good for either one of us. “I think this is a very positive move and a better opportunity for people to go to both.” The club is also hoping the move down-

town will bring with it better fan support. The Storm have struggled with low attendance numbers in recent years, despite boasting one of the most successful franchises in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League. While Memorial Arena houses more fans — 3,400 to roughly 1,200 at McArthur — the club is hoping the schedule, the weeknight games and a handful of promotions (including TRU nights for Wednesday games) will put butts in the seats. “I’ve coached with Barry for five years and four finals and there was nights when we’d have less than 200 fans in the stands,” Patterson said. “It’s just not fair to the boys that put in effort every single night, especially with the amount of local kids we have on our team.” Meanwhile, on the hockey side of the equation, the Storm will now play their home games on a traditionalsized sheet of ice, rather than the Olympic sheet on McArthur Island. Patterson said he expects the change will make it easier for his players to transition

HOWANIEC HOWITZER STUNS UNITED Kiera Howaniec of Kamloops sealed her soccer team’s place in a provincial final with a game-winning blast in Burnaby on Saturday. She bagged the winner — a halfvolley lazer strike from outside the 18-yard box in the 55th minute — for the Thompson Okanagan Football Club (TOFC) under-13 girls in a 2-1 victory

over Mountain United in a EA Sports BC Soccer Premier League semifinal showdown. Howaniec, a forward, goalkeeper Liesl Milovick and defender Allison Amy comprise the Kamloops contingent on the squad, the first-ever girls’ TOFC team to reach a provincial final. Mountain United is a Burnaby/North

Vancouver-based club. TOFC will square off against Coastal FC of South Surrey in the championship game, which will be held at the Apple Bowl in Kelowna on Sunday. Kickoff is set of 1:30 p.m. TOFC is an Interior select program that fields teams in the high-performance premier league.

between the Storm and the BCHL and WHL, as well as to play on the road in similarly sized rinks around the KIJHL. “Going to Memorial, they’ll have less time and space, things will happen quicker. It will help develop their mental mindsets and

hockey IQ hopefully a little quicker,” Patterson said. “That rink [Memorial] helped produce a ton of NHL players, so it will work well for us to produce some Western Hockey League or junior A players. It will be great.”

Iceland shocker STEVE DOUGLAS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAINT-DENIS, France — A late winning goal. A spot in the knockout stage. The prospect of playing in the round of 16 against England. It just doesn’t get better for tiny Iceland. Delivering the feel-good story of the European Championship, the smallest nation ever to compete in the tournament beat Austria 2-1 yesterday to advance from Group F. And the reward from the greatest day in Iceland’s soccer history: A match against their heroes from England in Nice on Monday. “Icelanders know everything about English football,’’ Iceland coach Heimir Hallgrimsson said. “We are English football crazy.’’ Arnor Ingvi Traustason clinched the win for Iceland in the fourth minute of stoppage time, finishing off a counterattack as the Austrians piled forward in search of the goal that would have earned them a place in the round of 16 at the expense of their opponents. After bundling the ball into the net in the last play of the game, Traustason found himself buried under a heap of Iceland players, substitutes and officials who had sprinted onto the field to celebrate. The whole squad then ran across the field to jump up and down in front of

their jubilant fans. “It’s like having your family at the game,’’ Iceland defender Kari Arnason said of the team’s 10,000 supporters. “I know probably 50 per cent of our crowd, or recognize them.’’ Hungary and Portugal tied 3-3 yesterday. Ronaldo had two goals for Portugal. Hungary finished first in the group, Iceland in second and Portugal in third, all advancing to the knockout stage. Austria was eliminated in last place, failing to live up to its billing in France. “Maybe the expectations have been too high,’’ Austria coach Marcel Koller said. Iceland’s victory at the Stade de France didn’t come easy. The team spent much of the game on the defensive after striker Jon Dadi Bodvarsson gave Iceland the lead in the 18th minute, pouncing on a flickon from Arnason at a throw-in and wrong-footing goalkeeper Robert Almer with an angled shot.

Austria defender Aleksandar Dragovic struck the post with a penalty in the 37th after David Alaba was tugged back and Iceland repelled a succession of attacks before Alessandro Schoepf equalized in the 60th. For the final 30 minutes, Austria was camped in the Iceland half. “It was like an Icelandic wall,’’ Koller said. “There was always a body in the way.’’ Austria heads home as one of the disappointments of Euro 2016. As does Alaba. Much was expected of the Bayern Munich defender, Austria’s undisputed star, but he started the final two games out of position in the attacking playmaker role and it didn’t suit him. At times against Iceland, he was deployed — somewhat bizarrely — as a “false nine,’’ before he dropped deeper for the second half. He set up Schoepf for his goal and played much better. It could all have been so different had Dragovic converted his penalty. Instead, it clipped the outside of the post. Dragovic dropped to his knees, covering his face with his jersey. No such despair for Iceland. Hallgrimsson even said, jokingly, that Iceland might change the date of its national holiday — June 17 — to commemorate its soccer team’s greatest feat. “That’s what it means to us,’’ he said.

Tiger takes swipe at USGA STEPHEN WHYNO

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BETHESDA, Md. — Tiger Woods said the rules controversy that followed Dustin Johnson down the stretch at the U.S. Open was “awful’’ and wasn’t fair to the eventual tournament champion or his fellow competitors. Woods was watching as USGA officials told Johnson at the 12th hole on Sunday that they’d decide after his final round whether to penalize him for his actions on the fifth green. Johnson had to play the final seven holes not knowing what his score was or how far ahead he was of the rest of the field.

Speaking yesterday before his tournament, the Quicken Loans National, Woods called the situation “frustrating to watch’’ and said players made mistakes because of the uncertainty. If it were him, Woods said he would have said a few more words during the round than the lessfeisty Johnson did. Woods said he is making progress in his rehab, but still won’t put a timetable on when he’ll return to competitive golf. He hasn’t played on the PGA Tour in 10 months after two back surgeries last year and isn’t yet able to play 36 holes a day and practice how he’d like. Before getting back, he said he’d have to play several days to show his body can handle the workload.

Obituaries & In Memoriam DONALD HICKS 1922 – 2016

Donald Clarence Hicks was born on April 4th, 1922 in Lewisville, New Brunswick. He died on Father’s Day, June 19th, 2016 in Kamloops, British Columbia. Growing up he excelled in sports and grew up speaking French as the only Protestant in Catholic Schools. He met Elizabeth Dobson in school while living in Dorchester for grades 11 and 12. They enjoyed competing for top marks in the class. At 17, Don enrolled at Mount Allison University where he played hockey and loved it, but war broke out. Anxious to do his part, he joined the Air Force in 1941. At age 19, he was a Pilot in the RCAF and was posted out West. On a period of leave, he returned home to the Maritimes to marry his sweetheart Elizabeth in November of 1943. He brought her back to Tofino where he was stationed. Beautiful British Columbia won his heart. Feeling lucky to survive the war, Don returned to school. With his strong love of the outdoors, he first went into Forestry at the University of New Brunswick (Fredricton). Being a great athlete, he played Professional Baseball during these years. His dentist suggested Dentistry as a preferable career choice, and he pursued this at Dalhousie University (Halifax, Nova Scotia) After graduating, Don started a practice in the lovely southshore town of Shelburne, NS where Dan and Laura were born. The call of the West was strong for Don however, and in 1956 he left the Maritimes for the “tumbleweed” town of Kamloops, where Lynda was born in 1958. That same year, the property at Shuswap Lake came into the picture. It was the most wonderful place to be.

Shortly afterwards, 111 Clarke Street was purchased. It became the perfect place to raise children and grandchildren, host parties, relax and cohabit with the well loved family dogs and cats. With a satisfying dentistry career and activities such as down hill and cross country skiing, golfing, water skiing, boating, playing ice hockey on the frozen lakes, team curling, hunting ducks with his beloved black labradors, West Coast salmon fishing, bridge games, partying with their many friends and harmonizing in sing-a-longs at Shuswap campfires and Christmas carolling Don made many rich memories. He aged well and kept up his physical activities right into his 90’s. His travels (sailing, bus tour to Alaska, cruising around the Horn, flying to Newfoundland, driving across the country) were big highlights after the difficult task of selling the lake property and 111 Clarke Street. Don lived his life with a brave and pioneering attitude. He cherished his many dear friends. Supporting his grandchildren occupied much of his later years; bringing him great satisfaction, as well as things to worry about. We will miss his enthusiasm for life and his indomitable spirit. Unfortunately, Don’s daughter Lynda (Steve Hamilton) Vogel predeceased him in 2011. Don leaves behind his loving wife of 73 years Elizabeth Hicks, children Dan Hicks, Laura (Mik) Madsen, grandchildren Jyelle Vogel, Hunter Vogel, Solenn Vogel, Jay Madsen, Christian Madsen and Keira Madsen, nieces Ann Curry, Maureen Curry and great niece Andrea Kuch. A Service will be held to Celebrate Don’s Life at the Kamloops United Church, 421 St Paul Street at 2:00 pm on Saturday, July 16th, 2016. Reception to follow at the home of Bob and Brenda Smillie. Condolences may be sent to www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

Mary Ellen Smith May 9, 1919 – June 20, 2016

Mary Ellen Smith passed away on Monday, June 20, 2016 at the age of 97 years. Ellen was born on May 9, 1919 at North East Point in Shelburne County, Nova Scotia to Emma Mae and Charles Edgar Crowell. She was the oldest of three girls and grew up in a small fishing community called Port La Tour. The daughter of a fisherman, she spent many days and nights with her dad fishing on the ocean. At the age of 18, Ellen married Arthur Jackson having three children before sadly losing her husband in the war. Ellen valiantly took in boarders to help raise her children and it was during that time she was introduced to Frederick Allan Smith eventually marrying again and moving from Nova Scotia to Creston, BC. Ellen was very active in the community spending many years serving as president of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Royal Canadian Legion. She loved to cook and one of her favorite joys was hosting dinners with all her family. Hobbies included knitting, crafting and gardening, where you could always find a jar of preserves to take home. After raising their six children, Ellen and Fred moved to Kamloops in 1984 and started travelling by motorhome all over Canada and the US, many times taking some of their children and grandchildren with them. One of the highlights of their travels was a trip to Korea. After her husband Fred passed away in 2004, Ellen lived on her own for many years where she focused her travels on her trips across the street to play Bingo. Ellen’s last 18 months were spent at Gemstone Care Centre where she received wonderful care from the staff. A special thank you to Colleen. Ellen was predeceased by two of her children Bob Jackson and Jim Smith and a grandson Allan Ross. She will be greatly missed by her remaining children Sandra Rodgers, Barb Ross, Darlene (Lorne) Christianson and Len (Eva) Smith as well as her many loving grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Flowers gratefully declined, memorial tributes may be made directly to the charity of your choice. A Funeral Service will be held on Saturday, June 25, 2016 at 3:00 pm in the Kamloops Funeral Home Chapel, 285 Fortune Drive.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Edith Nancy Gray

Leona Christine “Lindy” “Lin”Auger

1921 - 2016

Myron George Yachiw January 21, 1943 - June 15, 2016

1938 - 2016

Our mother left this world on June 11, 2016 comforted by family at Rest Haven Lodge in Sidney, BC. She was for us a wonderful mother. She gave us a lot of independence to make our way but expected us to use common sense which she, of course, always demonstrated. After our father and mother separated she was suddenly a single mother in her early forties. After updating her nursing credentials Mum returned to work and gave all four of us children responsibilities to “keep the show on the road”. We became an even stronger family because of her practical love, sensibility and trust in us.

Today we say goodbye to Lindy as she embarks on a new journey. Lindy was born in New Westminster, BC on October 21, 1938 and passed away June 14, 2016 at Royal Inland Hospital, Kamloops, BC. She was predeceased by her parents Paul and Hilda Paulson.

Nancy was born on a farm in Westwold, BC to Doris and Bertie Butler, the first of five children. She lived with her grandmother Edith Duck in Kamloops for high school and then took nurse’s training at the Royal Inland Hospital and joined the Army as a Nursing Sister in 1944. During this period, she met our father James Gray of Stoughton, SK, while his warship was stationed at Prince Rupert. They married in 1946 and began contributing to the baby boom (Colin, Peter, Malcolm and Alison). Over the next 16 years, dad’s Navy career took our family to Victoria, Ottawa, Saskatoon, Halifax and Cornwallis. His retirement landed us in North Vancouver in 1963.

Lindy leaves behind to mourn her loving partner William Campbell Stewart, four children Vicki Skjeie, Jacquie (Arthur) Skjeie, Kelly (Cheryl) Skjeie and Brian (Laura) Finney, extended family Danny (Sharon) Stewart, Willy Stewart, Dale (April) Stewart, Hamish (Lyla) Stewart, Heather (Bob) Landry, sister Joan (Joe) Futerko and many grandchildren, great-grandchildren and friends.

Nancy ended her nursing career as a Head Nurse of the newly opened extended care wing of Lions Gate Hospital. She retired to Kelowna in 1980 to be near her mother and sister Brenda Thomson. Over the last decade she has lived in Sidney closer to her children, nine grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. She enjoyed gardening, painting watercolours, birding, hiking and collecting antique china and furniture. She also travelled overseas regularly with friends and family. A trip on the Rajang River in Borneo was memorable.

Lindy loved the farm, all the animals, her yard, canning and cooking.

She had great relationships with her adoring daughters-in-law Liza, Judy and Margot and son-in-law David Campbell. Many nieces and nephews experienced her hospitality, wit and infectious laugh. That’s what we miss already - her witty observations punctuated by her hearty laughter.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Myron George Yachiw on June 15, 2016 at 74 years of age. To cherish Myron’s memory is his soulmate of 51 years wife Patty and children Michael (Tanya), Colleen and Deborah (Tim). As well as his beloved grandchildren Nick, Mason, Marly, Matt, Cruz, Jesse and Elizabeth. Also his siblings Mike (Rose), Jim (Julia), Peter (Ang), Nestor (Nancy) and Roman (Violet) and many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents Nick Yachiw, sister Mary Holowenko brother Russel.

and Tilly and his

Myron was born in Ituna, Saskatchewan. He loved coaching hockey and ball and was an amazing respected carpenter for over 35 years. Myron was an avid bowler and passed his talent onto his grandchildren. He loved gardening and music. Music was a huge component in his life. He loved playing the banjo, guitar, fiddle and mandolin to his children and grandchildren.

A Celebration of Lindy’s Life will be held at the Pritchard Hall on Saturday, June 25, 2016 at 12:00 noon.

“Hoe Downs” were common place in his home. Myron’s favorite trip was to Nashville in 2013.

She was pre-deceased by her siblings and their spouses Barbara Sharp (Bill), Connie Pearson (Ken), Stephen Butler (Pat), Brenda Thomson (Gifford) and brothers-in-law Ken (Janet), Allen (Ella and Ellen) and Don (Bette, still with us).

Rather than flowers, a donation to the Kamloops SPCA would be appreciated.

We really appreciated the care provided by the staff and volunteers at Rest Haven Lodge and wish to thank Dr. Wray for making her last years as comfortable as possible.

Online condolences may be sent to the family via DrakeCremation.com.

A Celebration of Life in Myron’s memory will take place on Saturday, June 25, 2016 at 11:00 am in the Kamloops Funeral Home Chapel, 285 Fortune Drive, Kamloops, BC.

Alan Collett

June 24, 1929 – June 19, 2016 Farmer, School bus driver, Trumpet player On Sunday, June 19, 2016 at Ridgeview Lodge, Kamloops, B.C. Alan Collett turned his trumpet toward the “wide blue yonder…”. Alan’s peaceful death was due to Alzheimer’s disease and in the end, cancer. Husband of 64 years to Dolores Collett, dad to Alana (Dan) Scott and Dallas Wanamaker, uncle – Alan, rest in peace! Alan was born in Vancouver, BC on June 24, 1929. After graduating from Burnaby South High School, he tried his hand at cowboy life at ranches near Merritt, he returned back to Vancouver where he met Dolores in an operetta, married Dolores and had two daughters. In 1956 Alan and Dolores traded their Coquitlam home and city lot for a log house and 160 acres in Forest Grove, BC (near 100 Mile House). They moved Alana (2 years old) and Dallas (3 months old) to Forest Grove where they pioneered the land for the next 15 years. After tilling the clay soil to grow potatoes and vegetables, plowing 6 foot snow piles during the winter, chopping knotty green wood and losing rubber boots in clay soil, they turned in the keys to the next land owner. Part of the next adventure was to set up a home for the next 34 years in Westwold, BC. The final move was to Kamloops (8 years) and finally, settled in Ridgeview Lodge (3 years). Alan’s work life included logging/sawmill and school bus driving in Forest Grove, school bus driving with Kamloops School District (from Westwold to Kamloops). Alan’s hobbies were many. Alan started in Vancouver with trumpet (also trombone and coronet) as a soloist, the Kitsilano Boys Band, various regimental bands during World War II, Vernon military training grounds, Vancouver Junior Symphony, and in the Kamloops Rube Band (40 years). Alan filled his spare time with golfing, sailing and beekeeping. There is to be no service held at Alan’s request. The family will be honouring his wishes. Special thanks and great appreciation to the caring staff at Ridgeview Lodge and Dr. Wynn. In Alan’s words…”if there is something to be done, there is a way to do it. So don’t give up!” Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com
