Liberal formula discounts the minimum wage by $1.25 for restaurant and pub servers, to reflect the income they receive from tips.

Court documents are shedding new light on a daylight shooting that shut down traffic on Saturday near the campus of Thompson Rivers University. Derek John Muirhead is facing charges of attempted murder, discharging a firearm, possessing a firearm while prohibited, assault with a weapon and a raft of other weapons-related offences, including possession of a prohibited firearm with ammunition, a conviction for which carries a mandatory three-year prison sentence. The charges stem from an incident in the 700-block of McGill Road just after 11 a.m. on DEREK MUIRHEAD Saturday. The 29-year-old is in custody and will return to Kamloops provincial court tomorrow. The court documents identify Michael Boyer as the victim of the shooting, but the extent of his injuries have not been made public. The documents allege Muirhead “with intent to endanger the life of Michael Boyer did discharge a pistol at Michael Boyer.” The pistol is identified in the documents as a Ruger 9-mm.

Muirhead has a criminal history dating back to 2006. All of his previous convictions have been for offences in the Lower Mainland, most in Surrey. Police were called to an area in the 700-block of McGill Road — at the Landmark condo development across the street from the campus of TRU — at 11:20 a.m. on Saturday after a reported shooting. Investigators said they were told two men were fighting when one pulled a handgun and fired. One arrest was made a short time later and a second man was taken into custody following an hours-long standoff at a residence on McGill Road. It’s unclear whether there are two suspects or if one of the arrested men was Boyer. Police say the incident is not related to recent incidents involving the Wolf Pack gang, a Lower Mainland-based criminal organization that has been under investigation by Kamloops Mounties since last fall. The gang has been linked by police to violent events in recent months. A May raid of a home connected by police to the Wolf Pack turned up multiple guns, drugs, RCMP equipment and cash.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW Kamloops RCMP vehicles block the back entrance to the Landmark condos at McGill Road and Summit Drive on Saturday afternoon while officers attempted to convince a suspect in a condo unit to surrender. The incident began at 11:20 with a fight and a shot fired and ended at just before 7:30 p.m. with the arrest of the suspected shooter.

Young driver in suspected DUI crash A young driver may be in a heap of trouble after crashing a car into a power pole in the dead of night, leading to power being cut to homes from Singh Street to Kamloops Airport.

Kamloops RCMP Sgt. Darren Michels said Mounties were called to a single-vehicle accident in the 2300-block of Parkcrest Avenue in Brocklehurst at 3:15 a.m. on Saturday.

Michels said the driver was not injured, but he is being investigated for impaired driving and being on the road contrary to the conditions of his driver’s licence.

A Brocklehurst father accused of leaving an 18-year-old Savona man clinging to life in hospital after a violent beating with a baseball bat on a residential street on June 19 said little during a brief appearance in Kamloops provincial court yesterday. Kristopher Teichrieb is charged with attempted murder in connection to the assault of Jessie Simpson, who remains in “grave condition” in hospital, according to his aunt. Teichrieb was arrested a short time after the incident and has been in custody since. As Teichrieb appeared by video yesterday in a Kamloops courtroom — wearing a red jail-issue sweatshirt with a wooden cross hanging from his neck — a half-dozen Simpson supporters rallied with signs outside the courthouse, eliciting honks from drivers along Columbia Street who appeared to support their chants of “No bail” and “Justice for Jessie.” In court, defence lawyer Jeremy Jensen hinted Teichrieb’s charge could be upgraded to murder if Simpson’s condition changes. Jensen asked that a potential bail hearing be delayed. “It’s not determined right now if that bail

“As far as Jessie’s condition, it is grave. He is not in good condition. Nothing has changed.” — Marie Lewis, aunt of Jessie Simpson

hearing will be held in provincial court or supreme court,” he said. Bail hearings for people charged with murder take place in B.C. Supreme Court. If Teichrieb’s charge is not upgraded, his bail hearing on the attempted murder charge would take place in provincial court. In court, Teichrieb’s only words were “thank you” when a justice of the peace told him he would return to court next week. Teichrieb, 39, was arrested just after 5 a.m. on Father’s Day after police were called to a reported altercation in the area of Holt Street and Clifford Avenue. Friends and family have said Simpson was beaten with a baseball bat after Teichrieb confronted him. Police initially said Teichrieb had confronted someone in his Clifford Avenue driveway. In posts on social media, Simpson’s friends and family have said he was in Kamloops for a grad party and was trying to find a friend’s

house when the altercation took place. At a candlelight vigil on Sunday, Simpson’s aunt said he remains in a coma on life support. “As far as Jessie’s condition, it is grave,” Marie Lewis of Dawson Creek said. “He is not in good condition. Nothing has changed. We can only keep hoping and praying.” Police have said Simpson has not been able to verbalize anything to investigators. It is unclear if investigators know why Simpson was on Teichrieb’s property, if he indeed was. Teichrieb’s home is on Clifford Avenue and the altercation took place on nearby Holt Street. Teichrieb is a father of three and the owner of at least two construction firms. He has no criminal record. Simpson is a Grade 12 student at South Kamloops secondary school. Teichrieb is due back in court on July 4.

Business vs. resident tax gaps discussed ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A report for the Canadian Federation of Independent Business says Kamloops has more work to do to improve the gap between residential and commercial taxpayers in the city. Aaron Aerts, an economist with CFIB, said the city has the sixth-lowest â€œtax gapâ€? of the provinceâ€™s major cities, with businesses paying 2.6 times the property taxes of homeowners â€” in line with the provincial average, but behind Chilliwack, Prince George, Kelowna, Abbotsford and Nanaimo. â€œKamloops has started to close the gap over the past few years, but a business is still paying 2.6 times what a homeowner would pay,â€? Aerts said. â€œWe think itâ€™s still significantly too high.â€? The study doesnâ€™t consider the dollar values paid by businesses and homeowners, only the difference

between the amounts. CFIB argues commercial rates should be no more than twice what cities charged to residential ratepayers. â€œBusinesses are happy to pay their fair share, but when some municipalities charge four times the rates that residents pay, we see a huge imbalance there,â€? he said. â€œTheyâ€™re only able to pay so much before they may have to close their doors.â€? Kamloops city council has focused its attention in recent years on bringing down the rates for heavy industry, which CFIBâ€™s study doesnâ€™t cover. While the city hopes to eventually annex or reach a revenue sharing agreement with the New Gold mine, it has so far shifted some of the tax burden for Domtar, Tolko and Lafarge onto homeowners. Aerts said thatâ€™s not what heâ€™d recommend to municipalities looking to

bring their commercial rates down. â€œA lot of municipalities, they have a spending problem,â€? he said. â€œWeâ€™re not advocating for increases in residential taxes. In an ideal world what we want to see is municipalities containing their spending a little bit more and making sure they are spending the money the way they should.â€? Aerts said communities should focus on finding budget savings and use that budget room to bring down commercial tax rates.

CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A 24-year-old man who killed his girlfriend with a chunk of concrete nearly four years ago will serve at least 12 years in jail before he is eligible for parole. Damien Taylor was convicted in October of last year of second-degree murder in connection to the Dec. 5, 2012, death of CJ Fowler. The 16-year-old girl was pregnant at the time her body was found in Guerin Creek near downtown Kamloops. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley said the “sheer brutality and savagery of the attack” on Fowler calls for protection of the public from Taylor as well as denunciation of his crime. Taylor will serve at least 12 years in jail before he is eligible for parole in what is a life sentence. “It was an unprovoked and unexpected attack. Mr. Taylor attempted to destroy evidence to lead investigators to other suspects,” Dley said. Crown prosecutor Alexandra Janse argued for a sentence in the upper range of 13 to 15 years, arguing Fowler was only 16 years old, pregnant and vulnerable. The pair travelled from Terrace in early December that year to take and sell drugs in Kamloops. They binged on crystal meth for most of the period, though Dley ruled they were both coming down from a high before Fowler walked into Royal Inland Hospital on Dec. 4, complaining of crystal-meth symptoms. In the Crown submission, Janse said after Fowler was informed by doctors she was pregnant — hours before she was murdered — “she wanted to move home, get clean and start fresh for her baby.” In a victim-impact statement, Fowler’s mother, Matilda, called CJ a “loving and caring person” whose death shattered the family. “I was in denial about CJ’s death. I kept waiting for her calls and texts . . . My heart broke when CJ died,” she said. Despite the loss, Matilda said she is now “at peace” with the loss and has forgiven Taylor. In his statement before sentencing, Taylor turned

to Matilda and read a tearful apology. Calling crystal meth “a monster in our community,” defence lawyer Don Campbell said Fowler would not have died but for the drug use by the pair. He argued for a sentence of 10 to 12 years before parole. “Crystal meth is not a drug that can be ignored. It’s incredibly dangerous. It took away everything from Mr. Taylor,” Campbell said. “It deprived CJ Fowler of her life.” Taylor tried to commit suicide after he was arrested and was under a suicide watch for a significant period. He was arrested in early 2014 and has been in jail since. “In a real sense, Mr. Taylor lost the love of his life, the only thing of real value, the best thing that ever happened to him,” Campbell said. An expert in the trial testified Taylor has limited intellectual ability. While Campbell emphasized the loss of Fowler to Taylor, Janse told the sentencing judge there is an irony in that approach. “It shouldn’t be a mitigating factor that you miss someone you killed,” she said. The case by the Crown was circumstantial, based on evidence that included video of the pair appearing to argue while leaving RIH and Taylor fleeing Kamloops back to northern B.C. without CJ. He changed clothes in the hours after leaving the hospital and entering the Notre Dame Drive Greyhound depot — something the Crown said pointed to his guilt. Fowler’s blood was identified on his socks, later found by RCMP. While a motive was never proffered, the Crown’s theory is that Taylor attacked his girlfriend while they were in a nature area of Guerin Creek. A forensic pathologist testified Fowler choked on her own tongue after being crushed by a piece of concrete — concrete the Crown said was wielded by Taylor. Fowler had no defensive wounds. Taylor testified he awoke to find his girlfriend dead and fled in a panic.

A jury has found a Salmon Arm man guilty of first-degree murder in connection to the shooting death of a romantic rival eight years ago. The B.C.

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 second-degree murder. Speaking for Myers’ family, his aunt, Sherry Deans, said the verdict comes as a relief. Family of both the

Nukina said he was then told the regional district did not have enough time to process the necessary permits, so organizers began looking for a new venue. Among the TNRD’s concerns were: • Lack of co-ordinated safety and response plan with RCMP and other emergency services; • Adequacy of access for emergency vehicles to the event location; • Risk of wildfire; • The remote location of the event and distance from medical facilities; • On-site sanitation and potable water; • Risk of harm to agricultural lands and sensitive environmental and riparian ecosystems.

In his statement to police, the accused man described hiding some 50 or 60 feet away in the woods, using a stump to line up and steady the .22 caliber rifle he borrowed from a friend before shooting in Myers’ direction. The Crown has applied to sentence the accused as an adult. A date for a sentencing hearing has not been set.

Electric Love Festival will be held in Agassiz After the Thompson-Nicola Regional District said it had serious concerns about what it called an unsanctioned music festival, organizers have moved it to the Fraser Valley. The TNRD said the Electric Love Festival was scheduled to be held on the B.C. Day long weekend at the Allie Lake Ranch near Vidette, west of Savona. However, the organizer announced yesterday the B.C. Day long weekend festival will be held at the Cheam Fishing Village in Agassiz. The TNRD issued a press release on Friday morning, expressing concerns relating to the health, safety and security of those planning to attend the event, along with concerns about the protection of the environment. The TNRD noted Electric Love organizers had not obtained the required regional-district approval to host the concert. However, Electric Love organizer Dennis Nukina told KTW the festival had not necessarily settled on Allie Lake Ranch as a venue. Nukina said he applied to the

by the girl. The accused testified he intended to scare Myers with a shot and panicked when events went wrong. Turko said her client “didn’t know ahead of time he’d shoot Tyler.” Myers died of three gunshot wounds, including one to the back of the head as he was face down on the ground in the schoolyard.

CONGRATS TO ALL OF OUR GRADS

amloops grads deserve congratulations and the chance to celebrate however they like. Graduation is a tremendous achievement. High school is hard — exams are difficult, homework is time-consuming and classes require commitment. And there are so many other considerations: extra-curriculars, social lives and part-time jobs, to name a few. As a community, we should be proud of our graduates and how they have met these challenges and so many others we don’t know about. There are a lot of reasons to be excited about graduating high school, but the best reasons, we think, are the opportunities to come because at age 17 or 18, possibilities are endless. Graduation is interesting because it draws all these teenagers together into a class of 2016 for a prom and a strut across the stage and then the grad class bursts apart, scattering youths to different places, different schools, different jobs, different paths and different pursuits. As we congratulate our grads, perhaps we should consider the role we played in helping them reach this stage. We all have a stake in our schools and in the education system as a whole. Trustees are forced to do more with less and are having to make decisions they shouldn’t have to make, between closing schools, cutting teachers, reducing programming or forgoing classroom resources. Graduates, diploma in hand, are about to go make their way in the world. So, how about our end of the bargain? Did we do all we could to set up our grads for success? Will we do the same for the class of 2017 and all the other classes to come? One thing we do know: our grads will succeed, regardless. We should be proud of them and also motivated to make sure the next grad class succeeds, and the one after that.

Weather events not new

remier Christy Clark flew up to Dawson Creek for the second time in a month on June 19 to survey the damage from a storm that dumped 130 millimetres of rain on the region in two days. At Chetwynd, where Highway 97 emerges from the Pine Pass through the Rocky Mountains, the highway was severely damaged after water poured under and across it in the middle of town. The CN Rail tracks and adjacent roads were washed out. In Dawson Creek, large culverts under the main street were plugged by debris, sending water over the road and generating a much-viewed video of a white car precariously perched on the edge as the torrent surrounded it. “Floods happen,” Clark told CTV News. “But not floods like this.” The CTV report, filed from Vancouver with dramatic video to show the worst in Dawson Creek, agreed with the premier’s line: “The Peace region last rebuilt from significant flooding in 2011, but the damage was much worse in this latest case.” Wrong. The same day, the Alaska Highway News quoted Maria Butts, Peace Region district manager for the Ministry of Transportation, on the situation. She noted Highway 97 was washed out in at least five places. “This was a very powerful

VICTORIA storm, quite uncommon . . . but the assessment of damage does not appear to be as extensive as it was in 2011,” Butts said. That’s consistent with my own news reports in the wake of the 2011 storm. Again, it dropped about 130 millimetres of rain on the Pine Pass in late June. In that event, a 64-kilometre stretch of the highway between Prince George and Chetwynd was washed out or damaged in 77 places. Repairs continued into the fall. Northwestern B.C. received even more rain, with damage to four bridges, 10 large culverts and more than 20 kilometres of roads in the Bulkley-Stikine highways district. I drove up the Trans-Canada Highway in the immediate aftermath of the 2011 storm, which had affected most of the province to some degree. The divided highway east of Chilliwack had just re-opened after a mudslide poured across it, trapping one vehicle whose passengers escaped unharmed.

I drove that route again last week, with only a sprinkle of rain here and there. Every time I pass the large pump station coming into Hope, I’m reminded of the summer of 1983, when I worked at my first reporting job there. Summer in Hope got off to an exciting start when torrential rains washed out the TransCanada Highway west of town. Again, it was in June. I had to walk along the closed highway for about a kilometre to get pictures of the huge cut in the divided highway roadbed and the stretch of CP Rail tracks left hanging in the air after water removed the railbed below. Mother Nature wasn’t done with the Fraser Canyon in 1983. That fall, having returned to Vancouver to resume journalism school at Langara College, I turned on BCTV news one evening to see the effect of heavy rains on a little motel with cabins along the bank of Silverhope Creek. The old cabin I had stayed in that summer was gone. The one next to it was badly undercut and about to fall in after the swollen creek had shifted its course. Heavy weather wasn’t a political issue in those days. “Climate change” hadn’t been invented, so there was no motivation for politicians to rush to the scene and pronounce each disaster the worst one ever. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

BRITAIN’S EU VOTE A LESSON FOR ALL NATIONS Editor: Some months before the European Union’s formal creation in 1993, I was in Fontainbleau, France, in an energetic debate about the foreseen benefits of the emerging Union. In our large group, I was the only one to have misgivings and consequently expressed my belief the Union would eventually break up. My reason was based on observations of global geopolitics. Scores of nations, most unwillingly brought into a colonial sphere, would eventually feel compelled to express their inherent cultural uniqueness and corresponding need for independence. Even small island nations that would obviously be worse off economically and in governance effectiveness would feel their indepen-

dence trumped remaining under the guidance or direct governance of others. Certainly, the EU constituents were willing, freethinking nations seeking collective security, social and economic advantages. That notwithstanding, the EU would — by its own agreed strategy — obligate members to subordinate many decisions to the collective. I saw this as naturally and even imperceptibly leading to certain countries yearning for increased self-expression outside of the legal framework once some EU decision were perceived as impinging, if not actually grating, on a country’s cultural DNA. In this respect, whether it be right or wrong, a very homogenous Hungary’s unwillingness to dilute itself with outsiders,

USE THE MIRROR FOR DRIVING, NOT MAKEUP

KAMLOOPS NEEDS A CAT BYLAW Editor: Cats are a nuisance. They are allowed to wander at will into yards, digging up flowers and gardens. They don’t have to be licenced — there is no by-law — and there is nothing a person can do. People renting can have cats, but when they move, often the cats are left behind. The SPCA protects cats, but if it’s a dog, they can phone bylaws, who will pick up the animal and take it to the pound. If the dog is not claimed within a certain period of time, it is put down. End of dog. Not so with cats. The SPCA adopts them out so they can terrorize another neigh-

Germany’s perceived dominance, Greece’s financial embarrassment causing it to consider collaboration from outside the EU, virulent disagreement on migrant management and the EU’s inherently wicked complexity are among the canaries illustrative of a weakening superorganization. The aims were and are still laudable and salvaging is still plausible, but the process of creating and abiding by mutually acceptable laws and practices must be considerably refined through more diligent, patient, sensitive and culturally relevant civil society cum government participation. There is a serious lesson in this for all nations. Ivan G. Somlai Kamloops

Editor: To the blond woman driving a grey VW Jetta on Thursday, June 23, morning at 8:15 a.m.: Why do you think it’s OK for you to drive down Westsyde Road while doing your makeup in the rearview mirror? What kind of normal human would think it’s OK to be swerving into the oncoming lane while applying mascara? I know you were aware of the swerving by your violent corrections, followed by your return to gazing in the rearview mirror. You were not even look-

bourhood as cats are free to roam. Dogs have to be licensed. If they are not, owners pay a fine. By the way, a dog licence is only $30 for a year. Now, if cats were licensed, think of all the money the city could make. A dog can be trained to stay in its own yard, but cats cannot be trained. Judy Kaye Kamloops

Habitat for Humanity seeking volunteers DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Habitat for Humanity in Kamloops is already thinking about Christmas. The organizatiom also has October circled on its calendars as that’s when Habitat plans to start its next build with another duplex in Westsyde. And the group is looking for a new location for its ReStore, which has outgrown the 9,000 square feet it now occupies on Cariboo Way in Sahali. There’s a committee looking for a site with between 10,000 and 20,000 square feet. Interim executive director Celine Calfa said the organization continues to grow and is also looking for volunteers to start sorting through the many bins of Christmas-related items that will be out on shelves by the fall. Volunteers are also needed

to help with specific projects or to donate a few hours to work at the store. Since it began in 1999, the Kamloops Habitat branch has providing housing for eight families. It bought land next to the site of its last duplex at 1343 Westsyde Rd. — the group always builds duplexes — and hopes to break ground in October. At that time, Calfa said, it will start the process to identify families who will live in the structure. They need to be chosen early because those identified must also help in the build as part of their commitment to be approved for the homes. To qualify to live in a Habitat home: • A person’s current living situation must be untenable due to cost, safety or other concerns. • A person must also be considered low-income in the

Kamloops area, as defined by Statistics Canada, and be willing to work with Habitat on the all aspects of the home for more than a year. • Homeowners are required to put in 500 hours of “sweatequity” during the course of their build, in place of a down payment. Habitat provides the mortgage to the homeowners interest-free and with no down payment. The families then make the monthly payments on the fair market value of the home. Calfa said individuals, tradespeople and community groups who want to pt a team together are welcome to help with the build, which likely will be completed next spring. Anyone interested in getting involved with the group in some capacity can call Calfa at 250-314-6783 or email her at executivedirector@habitatkamloops.ca.

Thompson-Nicola Regional District

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING When? When?

Thursday Wednesday July26, 6, 2016 Feb. 2015 3:00 p.m. 10:00 a.m. For info & submissions

Mail

The Board of Directors of the Thompson-Nicola Regional District gives notice that it will hold a Public Hearing in the TNRD Boardroom, 4th Floor - 465 Victoria Street, Kamloops, BC, to consider proposed Bylaw No. 2574. This Hearing will be delegated to the Board Chair, Vice Chair, and Electoral Area “P” Director.

Kamloops Airport gets provincial funding Kamloops Airport will receive $2.6 million from the provincial government to rehabilitate a section of the airport apron, or the area where aircraft park to load, unload and refuel. The money comes from the B.C. Air Access Program and was announced at the airport yesterday by Todd Stone, the province’s transportation minister and MLA for Kamloops-South Thompson. “A thriving, vibrant airport is a critical engine of growth for any community,” Stone said. “The Kamloops Airport has seen an increase of over 25 per cent in passenger volumes in the past five years, helping to drive growth in many sectors so important to Kamloops, such as mining and tourism, as well as at Thompson Rivers University.” The airport apron can get congested, which has the potential to delay the movement of aircraft during peak periods. In addition to rehabilitation, a new dedicated vehicle access route to the apron will be built. The airport will provide the remaining funds needed to complete the $3.4-million project. “It will allow the airport to safely handle more and larger aircraft while providing them easier access to our on-site amenities,” said Fred Legace, Kamloops Airport’s managing director. “This is aligned with other improvements, most recently the runway rehabilitation, that, paired with our growing tourism product, position the airport for growth with our airline partners.” Through the B.C. Air Access Program, Victoria cost-shares with public airports on projects such as lighting and navigational systems, terminal building expansion or upgrades and runway improvements. Last year, the province announced $24 million over three years for the B.C. Air Access Program.

RIDE DON’T HIDE

The annual Ride Don’t Hide charity bike ride took place Sunday in Westsyde’s Centennial Park. Locally, 150 riders raised more than $22,000 for local mental-health programs, which is a record in Kamloops for the number of riders and money raised. Nationally, a record 7,160 riders took part in the event, raising $1.36 million for the Canadian Mental Health Association’s mental health programs and services. Celebrating its fifth anniversary in B.C., Shoppers Drug Mart’s Ride Don’t Hide took place in nine rural and urban communities and 20 other communities across the country, making it Canada’s largest community bike ride for mental health. All funds raised through the events in B.C. go toward CMHA’s mental-health programs supporting women and girls within the local communities. ALLEN DOUGLAS PHOTOS/KTW

B U Y

1. Avoid big purchases (like a car) before getting pre-approved for a mortgage 2. Know your down payment

3. A realtor is your quarterback. Go get one 4. Be open-minded on the home (it’s called a “starter” for a reason) 5. Spring is very busy for home sales; be ready and be decisive

Today, we will look at the B.C. incentives to help firsttime homebuyers. This is someone looking to purchase their first home, meaning you have never been on title of a property before. • British Columbia Land Transfer Tax Credit: B.C.’s land transfer tax is a provincial tax payable by the buyer, due at the time of purchase. It represents one per cent of the first $200,000 of the purchase price and goes up to two per cent for the remaining purchase price. For example, a house purchased for $300,000 would

Cops to testify against ex-RCMP spokesman THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — A three-week trial is B.C. News expected next year for the RCMP’s former chief spokesman in British Columbia charged with a single count of sexual assault. Crown lawyer Michelle Booker told a provincial court judge she plans to call about eight witnesses, including four police officers, in the case against former inspector Tim Shields. Shields did not appear in court, but his lawyer said he will plead not guilty. The sexual assault charge stems from a police investigation into allegations of misconduct during Shields’ time as an RCMP officer and is alleged to have occurred between 2009 and 2010 at RCMP headquarters in B.C.

B.C. moves to evict courthouse campers

VICTORIA — The British Columbia government says fire, crime and sanitary conditions at a homeless camp outside the courthouse in Victoria have deteriorated since March when the province originally applied for a court injunction to shut it down. The government returned to B.C. Supreme Court today for the second time seeking an interim injunction to start evicting more than 100 people who have been living in tents on the courthouse lawn since the fall. Crown lawyer Warren Milman said fire risks remain at the camp since a fire commissioner’s report warned it was only a matter of time before a serious fire occurred. Milman said the fire dangers include crowded pathways, tarp-covered tents and the storage of combustible materials.

Arrest made after threats force high school to close THE CANADIAN PRESS

NELSON — A male student has been arrested after threats forced the evacuation of a high school in southeastern British Columbia. Nelson RCMP said they received reports last Thursday about a possible threat to Mount Sentinel secondary in South Slocan, about 25 kilometres west of Nelson. Officers arrived at the school to find a student being detained by school officials and took him into custody, police said. Officials evacuated the school and decided to postpone graduation ceremonies set for the weekend and cancel classes on yesterday. The threat was determined to be very serious and involved an isolated incident, police said, adding the investigation is ongoing. The student is facing a number of criminal charges and was expected to appear in provincial court in Castlegar yesterday. In an update posted to the school district’s website Sunday, Mount Sentinel vice-principal Shellie Maloff said the RCMP, the Ministry of Children and Family Development and the school district’s Violent Threat Assessment Team are investigating. The post urged parents and students to “continue to be vigilant’’ if attending any grad activities, parties or events where students might congregate. School officials were hopeful Mount Sentinel could reopen today.

Researchers predict oilsands production spike DAN HEALING

THE CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — A U.S. research organization says oilsands companies will gradually switch from new projects to expansions of existing operations as production grows over the next nine years to 3.4 million barrels a day from 2.4 million at present. Kevin Birn, director for IHS Energy, said yesterday that construction of new oilsands projects approved before the fall in oil prices in 2014 will add 600,000 barrels a day of production by 2020. Another 400,000

barrels per day will then be added by 2025 as companies focus on their most economic projects, primarily expansions of existing operations, he said. “Expansions of existing facilities are better understood, quicker to first oil and lower cost to construct,’’ said Birn. “It is less risk at a lower cost. “As we saw with tight oil producers, when prices collapsed, they focused their activity on the most productive areas. We expect a similar experience to play out in the Canadian oilsands. “However, given the nature of the long lead times, we expect this

will play out over the coming decade.’’ Some oilsands producers are already putting the strategy in play. Producer MEG Energy, for instance, chopped its preliminary capital spending budget in 2015 by $600 million in reaction to low oil prices. It put on hold new projects it had planned to build but vowed to continue to grow production more through “incremental brownfield expansions’’ and implementation of new technologies at its existing Christina Lake oilsands facility. “It’s smaller increments, it’s more

nimble and it can be adapted pretty quickly in terms of timing, in terms of putting pieces in place,’’ said MEG spokesman Brad Bellows. MEG now produces about 80,000 barrels per day. Bellows said it plans to add production in 10,000to 20,000-barrel “micro-projects’’ with timing depending on commodity price signals. Last week, the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers predicted that Canadian oilsands production would grow to 3.7 million barrels a day by 2030. That represented a reduction due to the

RIGHT-TO-DIE LEGISLATION

Critics of assisted dying law set to launch court challenge LAURA KANE

THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — Just days after Canada’s physician-assisted dying law came into force, a 25-year-old British Columbia woman with a degenerative muscle disease is challenging it in court. Julia Lamb, who lives in Chilliwack, has spinal muscular atrophy and worries her body will weaken and she will be left in a state of intolerable suffering because she doesn’t qualify for doctor-assisted death under the new law. “My biggest fear is that if my condition suddenly gets much worse, which could happen any day, I will become trapped,’’ she told a news conference yesterday. “I feel a shadow looming over me. I know I could lose the ability to breathe well enough on my own and require a ventilator, which could affect my ability to speak.’’ Lamb was diagnosed with the muscle disease at 16 months and required a wheelchair at age six, but she said she has lived a fulfilling life with a loving family and enjoys her part-time job as a marketing assistant. The Liberal government’s Bill C-14 received royal assent on June 17. Lamb said she opposes the law’s requirements that a doctor’s help can only be given if death is reasonably foreseeable and the patient is in

an advanced state of irreversible decline. “If my suffering becomes intolerable I would like to make the final choice about how much suffering to endure,’’ said Lamb, who has joined the B.C. Civil Liberties Association to file a constitutional challenge in B.C. Supreme Court. Grace Pastine, a lawyer with the association, said the law excludes a class of people who are suffering with no immediate end in sight from diseases, such as muscular dystrophy, Parkinson’s and Huntington’s disease. A Supreme Court of Canada ruling last year gave people the right to end their lives with a doctor’s help when pain management, hospice care and medical treatments have not helped, Pastine said. “The new legislation has the perverse effect of forcing some critically ill Canadians to resort to violent methods or the back alley. People will find ways to end lives that have become unbearable,’’ she said. Pastine said the association is asking other Canadians with chronic conditions who want access to assisted dying to join the legal challenge. Justice Minister Jody-Wilson Raybould said the legislation was a principled, cautious response and she is confident it is constitutional. “It represents the right approach for Canada at this important time in our country’s

history by striking the balance between personal autonomy for those seeking access, protection of the vulnerable, and respect for the conscience rights of healthcare providers.’’ The husband of Elayne Shapray, a key witness in the Supreme Court case, said his wife’s victory had been stripped away by the legislation. Howard Shapray said his wife died peacefully at home with a doctor’s help in May after her multiple sclerosis became intolerable. She died under the Supreme Court’s criteria, which only required a “grievous and irremediable’’ condition. “While Elayne had a smile on her lips knowing that she would finally find peace, she died dismayed that others like her would be deprived of the same right by Bill C-14.’’ Some observers, including Independent Sen. Murray Sinclair, have said the “reasonably foreseeable’’ requirement is open to interpretation and does not necessarily mean the patient must have a terminal disease. Asked whether the case would be stronger with a plaintiff whose request for assisted death had already been rejected by a doctor, Pastine replied that Lamb lives every day with the fear of her disease progressing. She said Lamb could suffer unbearably for years and therefore her death would not be reasonably foreseeable.

prolonged period of low oil prices from its year-earlier prediction of four million barrels by 2030. CAPP estimated

that investment by producers in the oilsands will fall to $17 billion this year from $23 billion in 2015 and $34 billion in 2014.

It said the oil price crunch has resulted in the loss of 110,000 direct and indirect jobs related to the industry in Canada.

Three Amigos to align on climate, clean energy, says White House Trudeau welcoming Obama, Mexican President Nieto to Ottawa this week for summit of North American leaders BRUCE CHEADLE MIKE BLANCHFIELD

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — A North Americanwide commitment to cut methane emissions and a pledge to get half the continent’s electricity generation from renewable sources will anchor the Three Amigos summit this week, White House officials said yesterday. When the leaders of Mexico, the United States and Canada convene in Ottawa tomorrow, the “central focus’’ will be climate and clean energy, said Brian Deese, senior adviser to President Barack Obama. “We find ourselves now in a moment where the alignment in terms of policy goals and focus on clean energy between our three countries is stronger than it has been in decades,’’ Deese told a conference call. Obama, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexico’s Enrique Pena Nieto will release what he called a “a comprehensive North American climate, clean energy and environment partnership’’ that will lay out the specific steps along which the countries will align across the continent.

Pena Nieto will sign Mexico on to the Canada-U.S. methane reduction deal announced when Trudeau paid a state visit to Washington in March, according to the White House. The accord pledges to cut methane emissions 40 to 45 per cent below 2012 levels by 2025 and has been widely applauded by environmental groups as a significant and cost-effective means for combating climate change. North America accounts for about 20 per cent of global methane emissions, which are a potent greenhouse gas that the Pembina Institute estimates accounts for a fifth of all manmade global warming to date. The three leaders will also announce a goal to achieve 50 per cent of clean power generation across North American by 2025. That total will include renewable energy, nuclear power, carbon capture and storage and cutting energy waste through increased efficiency, said Deese. Both the methane and the green energy targets were confirmed yesterday by the Prime Minister’s Office. Canada has over 80 per cent

clean electricity generation by this measure (North America as a whole is at 37 per cent), so Canada could be in a position to export more power than it currently does to the United States. “There will be discussion about infrastructure, for sure,’’ said Deese. “The focus there is making sure we have harmonized and integrated infrastructure to encourage clean energies. So transmission, for instance, will be a focus.’’ In February, energy ministers from the three NAFTA partners signed a memorandum of understanding in Winnipeg on “climate change and energy collaboration.’’ That deal was further advanced earlier this month at a meeting in San Francisco, where Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr and his Mexican and U.S. counterparts announced the launch of a “North American renewable integration study to better understand the planning and operational impacts of integrating growing renewable energy sources, such as solar, hydro and wind, into our electricity grids,’’ according to a joint news release at the time.

Valleyview secondary students who dedicated the first half of the school year to a community art project are now able to see their work completed. Members of the Valleyview Community Association, which spearheaded the initiative, are erecting 12 four-foot high murals on the exterior of the sports box in the neighbourhood’s Centennial Park. Two classes made up of students ranging from Grade 9 to Grade 12 designed

and painted the works. Art teacher Melody Tompkins said the concept for the project was based on class brainstorm sessions on what represents community in their eyes. The roots of the community are represented in the roots running along the bottom of each portion, while the other elements are the product of each individual student’s imagination. “Each person did something they were inspired by,” Tompkins said. “I tried to leave it as open as possible. “They really enjoyed it. I think that huge sense of scale gives them

pride and ownership.” Tompkins was approached by the Valleyview Community Association at the beginning of the school year. Association president Jim Freathy said the organization was looking to pursue a beautification project and considered the ice box from 1967 a good candidate. The Valleyview Overlanders Lions Club assisted in raising funds for the project and the association received a grant from the City of Kamloops through the Neighbourhood Matching Fund, which supports implementation of neighbourhood-driven initiatives.

The city’s community-development co-ordinator, Ben Chobater, said the fund can contribute up to $8,000 per year to such projects. The partnership with the school district was unique to this plan, Chobater said, but it’s one the city encourages. “We’re going to use this as an example for other associations, to tap into the youth,” he said. Students from Marion Schilling elementary, which is adjacent to the sports box, are also contributing, working on an additional eight murals to be added later.

The students from Rena Murdoch’s Grades 2/3 class at Summit elementary have been exchanging handwritten letters with seniors at the local retirement centre.

PaperPal connects generations As more researchers and doctors recommend the benefits of handwriting for children and senior citizens, Summit elementary and Berwick on the Park retirement community have joined Domtar’s PaperPal program. Unveiled by Domtar’s PaperBecause campaign in February, the PaperPal program connects generations through letter writing. It helps youths develop fine motor skills, spurs seniors to practise a useful cognitive exercise and connects generations. Domtar tested the program in 2015 at a school and a retirement community in Van Nuys, Calif. The project was so successful that the groups wanted to continue writing letters after the initial two-month period ended. Since then, the program has spread throughout Canada and the United States. Volunteers at Domtar’s pulp mill in Kamloops recently pushed to bring PaperPal to their community as part of their work with the EarthChoice Ambassadors program, which encour-

for children and senior citizens. Teachers at Summit elementary were immediately drawn to PaperPal. “This will be a fun way to help students grow academically,” said Rena Murdoch, who teaches second and third grades. “The importance of purposeful writing experiences for children is what PaperPal provides, and knowing that this also benefits the residents of the retirement community makes us that much more excited.” Residents at Berwick on the Park are also benefitting from the program, which launched in April. “Our residents can’t wait to share their stories with the children and they’ll also be so happy to hear the voices of the students,” said Paula Popadynetz, Berwick on the Park’s recreation manager. “It’s very heartening and it’s very rewarding.” To learn more about PaperPal or to receive a starter kit, go online to paperbecause.com/handwriting.

From cattle grazing where ball fields now stand to a visit from a 13-year-old Queen Elizabeth II, the history of the North Shore is getting an expanded showing in the Tranquille Market. What started as a small collection of photos in a side room has expanded to cover most of the first floor of the North Shore Business Improvement Association’s headquarters in Wilson House, 115 Tranquille Rd. NSBIA general manager Steven Puhallo said the new heritage room, which replaces a gallery space, has been planned for about a year with help from longtime residents of the North Shore. “We have a lot of legacy families that will drop by and they’ll bring a bunch of photo albums that we’ll go through with them,” he said. “A 10th birthday party in a closed room isn’t really what we’re looking for. “We’re looking for something that really represents the landscape and the families and the neighbourhoods of the North Shore.” The room will also showcase photos pulled from the Facebook group Kamloops History. “A lot of people just randomly post really incredible pictures on that site,” Puhallo said. “There’s some great North Shore pictures we’ve been looking for and people will just post — oh, here’s the North Shore in 1920, here’s the old Brocklehurst grocery store.” Many of the heritage snaps date to the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, when the North Shore began to make the shift from farms to urban development. Photos include a shot of early CJFC announcer Gordon Rye behind an old-style microphone when the radio station was located in the space where

Four years later, Cheyann hasn’t forgotten her experience. She recently approached her mom, Montana, asking if she

onnor Ingram’s plane was grounded, but the goaltender was skating on Cloud 9. The wheels were just about to go up on a flight to Calgary from Kamloops, a welcome end to a two-hour delay, and phones were meant to be turned off when Ingram heard life-changing news — he was drafted into the NHL. “I was watching the Sportsnet coverage with my headphones on and I heard them say, ‘from the Kamloops Blazers . . .” and I got pretty excited, but it happened to be Garrett [Pilon] that went,” said 19-year-old Ingram, an Imperial, Sask., product. “I don’t know if I was a little pouty or a little mad and I was folding my phone up because it was time to go, but I got a call from a number I didn’t have and I was like, ‘Ah, whatever, I got time,’ and it was my agent just yelling, ‘Tampa Bay!’ at me. It was crazy. There was nobody around me that I knew, so I was in my own little world for an hour until I could get into Calgary and turn my phone back on to see what was going on.” The Washington Capitals used the 87th overall pick in Round 3 to select Pilon, a forward from

Goaltender Connor Ingram and forward Garrett Pilon of the Kamloops Blazers each have unique NHL Draft stories to tell.

Saskatoon, and the Lightning nabbed Ingram with the next pick in the draft. Pilon, 18, was about 1,200 kilometres away from Ingram, in Saskatoon, when his once-in-alifetime moment arrived. “I lost my car keys. My mom and I were looking for them through seat cushions,” Pilon said. “I looked up and saw my name on the top bar on the screen. I couldn’t believe it. My mom kind of went a little bit crazy and my sister ran upstairs to see what was going on. It was pretty surreal. I still haven’t found the keys yet.

I’ll figure that out later.” Pilon put himself on the juniorhockey map with a stellar rookie season in 2015-2016, racking up 15 goals and 47 points in 71 games with the Blazers, but the shifty forward was surprised to be picked so early on Saturday. “It’s pretty crazy going from where you were and seeing how worried you were about certain stuff back then, and maybe you didn’t think things were going to go your way, so to keep plugging along and to be rewarded was pretty special,” said Pilon, the 5-foot-

11, 175-pound forward whose father, Rich, played more than 600 games in the NHL. Ingram managed to sneak in a few text messages before lifting off from Fulton Field. “I didn’t really get a chance to soak it all in, but I texted my dad and said ‘TAMPA BAY’ in all caps and, in classic Mr. Ingram fashion, I got ‘yahoo,’ back, no exclamation points, no capital letters,” said Ingram, who set a new franchise record last season by posting a .922 save percentage. Ingram’s is an underdog story, having been passed over at the WHL Bantam Draft and forced to claw his way onto the Blazers’ roster in time for the 2014-2015 campaign. “Ask me again [how I feel] in a week,” said Ingram, who was NHL draft eligible in 2015, but not picked. “It hasn’t really set in yet. I’m packing my stuff up to hop on a flight to Tampa Bay tomorrow. It’s been a whirlwind 24 hours, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.” Ingram, a 6-foot-1, 195-pound backstop, is attending a development camp in Tampa Bay this week and is one of four goaltenders selected to attend Canada’s National Junior Team Sport Chek Summer Development Camp in July and August in Toronto. Pilon, who will be in Washington at a development camp until Saturday, was picked

by the Blazers in the seventh round of the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft and team brass decided it best he spend his 16-year-old season playing with the Saskatoon Contacts. He led the Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League in scoring in 2014-15, with 87 points in 44 games, and started with a bang when he arrived on Mark Recchi Way in 2015-2016. “I got to gain confidence, home in on my skills and take that time to develop more into the player I wanted to be,” Pilon said. “Maybe I wouldn’t have gotten as much opportunity as a 16-year-old in the WHL, maybe not been able to develop as much.” Ingram had planned to spend Saturday golfing with his father at The Willows Golf and Country Club in Saskatoon, but that plan was foiled by transportation issues. When he was able to switch his phone on after touching down in Cowtown, it damn near blew up. “It’s been nuts. I couldn’t keep up for a bit,” Ingram said. “The support coming in from people I haven’t talked to in a long time and numbers I don’t even have in my phone, it’s amazing. You get some special text messages and phone calls.” Even more precious were hugs and kisses from family and friends upon arrival in Saskatoon.

Like son, like father DOUG SWAINE FOLLOWED SON, NICK, INTO OFFICIATING MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Doug Swaine had lost his love for hockey, but his son was there to point him in the right direction. At age 50, Doug followed in Nick’s footsteps, picked up a whistle, put on the stripes and took up officiating, six years after quitting the game for good. “I stopped playing. I didn’t love it any more,” Doug said. “Nick convinced me to take up reffing and, 13 years later, here I am, referee-in-chief (RIC) for the Kamloops Minor Hockey Association (KMHA).” Doug took over as RIC for KMHA two years ago and earlier this month was recognized with one of B.C. Hockey’s highest honours at its AGM — the B.C. Hockey Development Award for Officiating 20152016. “To see how he was so out of it with hockey, it made me quite sad, actually, and I was trying to think of different ways to get him back involved,” said Nick, who will return for his 10th season calling WHL games in 2016-2017. “We’d start watching NHL games or Blazers’ games and I’d start talking about the officiating side of things and we’d start watching games almost from the same perspective. Once that started happening, it was like he started to get hooked.” Doug started at the bottom 13 years ago, doing atom and peewee games in the KMHA ranks, but it wasn’t long before the hockey aficionado was dropping the puck at provincial championships. B.C. Hockey eventually came calling and Doug, who retired from Canadian Pacific Railway in 2008, took a job overseeing officials in the North Okanagan, a gig he gave up in 2014 to return to the KMHA. “Our KMHA officials’ association was kind of floundering,” said Doug, who used to coach minor hockey in town. “It was in a little bit of disarray and it lacked leadership. I saw that when I was reffing and I didn’t like what I saw. “The kids were coming to the rink and there was no identity for them. Officiating is not just about you. It’s about team. You’re a part of a team.” Doug created a supervisor program and appointed Rob Schweitzer to run it. Senior officials Brendan Martin and Bob Reid came on board to pilot a shadow mentoring program. “We also set up an awards program and an awards ban-

Doug Swaine of the Kamloops Minor Hockey Association won the B.C. Hockey Development Award for Officiating 2015-2016 at the organization’s annual general meeting, held earlier this month at the Sun Peaks Grand Hotel. Swaine is flanked by Larry Krause (left), B.C. Hockey minor development co-ordinator, and Sean Raphael, B.C. Hockey referee-in-chief.

quet. It had all been missing,” Doug said. Sean Raphael, RIC of B.C. Hockey, began to take notice of the transformation in Kamloops and saw firsthand the improvement when the Women’s World Hockey Championship was here earlier this year. The KMHA crew was assigned to officiate the provincial female peewee championship, held in conjunction with the women’s worlds in March. “We saw that next generation of officials he’s been working with in action,” Raphael said. “They all speak highly of him and we saw the product on the ice. “He runs a very good program. His association is regularly producing some of our top up-and-coming elite officials, as well as having a very strong core of minor officials working in his developmental levels.” Doug laughed at the question — when you played, did you ever have any desire to become a referee? “No. Not one bit,” he said. “It’s like I said in my speech at Sun Peaks, I never imagined I would be accepting an award for officiating. “I just started falling more in love with it. I discovered when I was a referee, I was also coaching the other kids, the younger kids, and I really enjoyed that aspect of it.” “Nick had said, ‘Dad, give reffing a try,’ and I said, ‘No. No. No.’ But there was some

history. My father was a referee, my brother was a referee, my nephew was a referee, my son was a referee . . . so maybe it is in my blood.” Anyone interested in joining the KMHA officials’ crew can email Doug at kamloopsric@ gmail.com. Seventeen officials signed up last year, bringing the KMHA’s total to about 120. “In our association, they will be part of a team. There is people there to guide them, support them and back them up,” Doug said. “There are issues with fans, in regards to officials, but that’s the nature of the friggin’ game. It’s not going to change. It’s getting better, but I need to be there for my officials.” Young and old alike are encouraged to join the team. “If I can start at 50, why can’t someone start at 30 or 40?” Doug said. “Maybe you’ve lost the love for the game, but you might rediscover it as an official. You might be pleasantly surprised.” Nick was named B.C. Hockey’s official of the year in 2007-2008 and Doug added to the Swaine trophy cabinet earlier this month, sealing their standing as one of the first families of refereeing in the province. “I’m pretty proud of him, that’s for sure,” Nick said. “He definitely wasn’t in love with the game or wanting to be at the rink anymore. Now, during hockey season, you can’t get him away from it.”

EMBARRASSED Azzurri win

Blazers’ schedule

STEVE DOUGLAS

The Kamloops Blazers will begin the 20162017 WHL regular season with a home-and-home set against the Kelowna Rockets. The teams will play on Friday, Sept. 23, at Sandman Centre and on Saturday, Sept. 24. at Prospera Place. Kelowna edged Kamloops in Game 7 of their first-round playoff series in April. Kamloops will play 21 of 36 home games on Friday, Saturday or Sunday nights, 10 on Wednesday nights, four on Tuesday nights and one on B.C. Family Day, Monday, Feb. 13. The schedule is nearly balanced throughout the season as the Blazers will play three games in September, 13 in October, 12 each in November, December, January and February, and eight in March. There is an even split of games before and after the Christmas break, with 17 home games and 19 road games prior to the Christmas break and 19 home games and 17 road games after it. The Blazers will play eight of their first 10 games on the road and twice will they play three games in three nights. The Blazers will not travel to the East Division, with each of the six squads in that division scheduled to play in the River City. Kamloops will play 34 games against B.C. Division opponents — 10 versus Kelowna and eight each against Vancouver, Prince George and Victoria. The Blazers’ longest road trip will be seven games, from Sept. 24 to Oct. 8.

NICE, France — Iceland pulled off the biggest shocks in European Championship history by beating England 2-1 in the round of 16 yesterday, continuing the astonishing run of the smallest nation at the tournament. England slumped to its most embarrassing loss in a generation after taking the lead in the fourth minute on Wayne Rooney’s penalty. Ragnar Sigurdsson and Kolbeinn Sigthorsson took advantage of defensive shortcomings by England to put Iceland ahead by the 18th minute, and the Icelanders defended superbly in the second half to earn the biggest victory in their history. The country of 330,000 — featuring in its first ever major tournament — next plays host nation France in

its team of Premier League stars took the lead on a balmy night at the Stade de Nice after Raheem Sterling — a contentious pick by Hodgson on the left wing — was clipped by goalkeeper Hannes Halldorsson as he prodded the ball past him. Rooney converted the penalty into the bottom-left corner. Iceland struck back immediately through Sigurdsson, volleying in at the far post after Kari Arnason’s flick-on from a long throw. Sigthorsson then took advantage of more slack defending by England, getting time and space to shoot from just inside the area. Goalkeeper Joe Hart got a hand to the effort but the ball squirmed in. Iceland was relatively untroubled in the second half as England’s passing and touch deserted its players, with Rooney especially culpable. The tournament continues on Thursday when Poland squares off against Portugal. Kickoff is slated for noon.

Saint-Denis on Sunday, while England heads home early again for another post-tournament inquest. England’s players slumped to the ground after the final whistle, their heads in their hands. For a soccer nation of England’s standing, its record in major tournaments is woeful. The English have still never won a knockout-stage game abroad in the European Championship in eight attempts and haven’t won a match beyond the group stage of a major tournament since 2006. This defeat will probably go down as England’s most humiliating since losing 1-0 to the United States in the 1950 World Cup. Even more so since

SAINT-DENIS, France — Spain’s era of dominance at the European Championship came to an end yesterday when Italy beat the two-time defending champion 2-0 in the round of 16. Italy deserved its victory and was impressive from the start at Stade de France, stifling Spain’s attacking intent and creating several scoring opportunities with slick interplay. The goals — one in either half — were enough for Italy to avoid its third straight elimination at the European Championship to Spain and secure a quarter-final clash against Germany. Giorgio Chiellini, a member of Italy’s resilient defence, put his team ahead in the 33rd minute, when he poked the ball across the line after Spain goalkeeper David de Gea couldn’t hold on to a free kick by Eder. In the second half, Spain showed more menace and came close to equalizing on a couple of occasions, not least when Sergio Ramos’ close-range header in the 76th minute was kept out by veteran Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon. Buffon also made another impressive save in the 90th minute when he managed to get down and save Gerard Pique’s close-range strike. As Spain swept forward in search of the elusive equalizer, Italy counterattacked to put the match beyond doubt. Graziano Pelle sealed the victory — Italy’s first competitive triumph over Spain since the 1994 World Cup — with his second goal of the tournament after a cross by Matteo Darmian in secondhalf injury time. Italy arrived in France written off by critics back but it’s now in the hunt to win its first European Championship since 1968. Italy will play Germany in Bordeaux on Saturday in a rematch of the 2012 semifinal, which it won by 2-1.

Obituaries & In Memoriam David Mervyn Cole July 12, 1957 – June 16, 2016

It is with the deepest sadness that the Cole family announce the passing of David M. Cole on Thursday, June 16, 2016. David passed away peacefully at his home in Clinton, BC, at the age of 58. Born in Saskatchewan, Dave spent his early years in Kelowna and Vancouver, attending various schools and universities, before arriving in Clinton in 1998, for what he thought might be a year or two. However, he fell in love with the Cariboo lifestyle and the people who became his close circle of friends. To carry on his memory are his chidren, whom he loved deeply, Natalie (Jesse), Alex, Frazer and Harrison. His father Martin Cole, sisters Elaine (Dale) Maxwell, Laureen Johnston, Janet Dedinsky, Leona (Ferenc) Geber and Marilyn (Manuel) Alviar, his many nieces and nephews and the mother of his children Catherine. His friends, students, co-workers will also help keep the stories of David alive for years to come. He was also loved by his mother Rena Cole who predeceased him. David believed in service to his community as an educator, fire-fighter, coach, paramedic, advocate and organizer. He was hard working, courageous, witty, forthright and curious. Dave liked to paint, travel, camp, sail, write, read, hunt for bargins, play games, fix things and help his kids. Always true to himself, David valued integrity above all else. He was a kind, generous man, and will be missed so very much. Please join us for a public Celebration of David Cole’s Life to be held at the Clinton Memorial Hall on Monday, July 4, 2016 at 1:00 pm, 306 Lebourdais Street, Clinton, BC. Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

Raymond Joseph Bertoli May 16, 1931 – June 22, 2016

On June 22, 2016 in the early morning hours at Marjorie Willoughby Hospice, Ray’s battle with cancer came to an end. Born May 16, 1931 at the C.N. Junction yard in Campbell Creek, he was delivered at home by his grandmother Adelaide Giacomuzi (Ida). Born to proud parents (Achille) Pete Bertoli and Santa Sarah Bertoli, Ray joined his older brother Roy (1926) and older sisters Jean (1927) and Nora (1929). Ray was followed by Ross (1935) and Betty (1938). Pete a C.N. Track section foreman, and Sarah a homemaker taught their children the value of hard work and the importance of family. In his younger years Ray had a strong passion to be in the outdoors, hunting and fishing with his dad and brothers. Ray started his family in 1958 son John, daughter Teresa 1960, son Gary 1963 and son Robert 1968. As a young man Ray held jobs at the Campbell Creek Hop Farm, where he learned to drive a 3 in the tree. He then came to town and worked in construction helping build Kam-High and the Tranquille Sanitarium. Ray’s future would forever change in 1953 when he was hired by Frank and John Turner who were the owners of Inland Building Supply, 742 Victoria Street. There, Ray would meet and work with Helen Saemerow (hired 1945). In 1969 with failing health and the death of Frank Turner, Ray and Helen approached John Turner of Inland Building Supplies to purchase the company. With all the new construction on the North Shore, they took a huge risk and started Inland Building Supply 1969 Ltd. at 660 Kingston Avenue. With the help of family and friend they opened their doors in October 1969. Blood, sweat, tears and determination were the ingredients to create a business that became a family operation that achieved incredible success for over 38 years. Ray and Helen were very proud that they supported the community that supported them, they generously donated to the Royal Inland Hospital, many charities and organizations

Mario Dal Ponte

On June 20, 2016 Mario passed away peacefully with his wife at his side, at the age of 69 years. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 46 years Josie, his children Mark and Leah, his brother Gino and his sister Anna. Mario was born in Ponte, Italy and immigrated to Canada in 1957. He met the love of his life Josie in Vancouver in 1969. They married in 1970 and had first son Mark in 1973 and daughter Leah in 1976. In 1977 the family settled in Kamloops, BC. In 1981 Mario proudly became a Canadian citizen. Mario had a strong work ethic which began with a pick and shovel and grew into building his own company. He was a loving husband and father and was rarely seen without a smile. Mario had a passion for life that was truly unparalleled and was always quick to share a joke. His rosy outlook and sense of humor brightened the faces and lives of all that knew him. The family wishes to thank the staff at Overlander Extended Care and to Dr. Hamilton for the love and care that they gave to Mario the past 5 years. A private gathering for Mario will be held at a later date.

Tis easy enough to be pleasant When life flows by like a song But the man worthwhile Is the man with a smile When everything goes dead wrong Condolences may be made to www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

The family would like to thank the following people for all their love, compassion and guidance in this difficult time, Mark & Donna Bertoli, Dr. Proctor, the staff at the 6th Floor of RIH, the wonderful guardian angels at the Marjorie Willoughby Hospice and Dr. Holman who truly goes above and beyond and makes a difference every day. Ray believed in people and he believed in Kamloops. His life shines as an example of compassion determination and kindness. Your many lifelong friends will miss you Ray, but we will never forget your example.

OTHERS WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE By Joanetta Hendel, Indianapolis, Indiana

Others who have gone before Hold up my trembling hand. They comfort me in the blind despair I cannot understand. They suffer with me when I hurt, Weep with me in my pain, Remind me that we are not lost ... Though I must now remain. Those who’ve gone before me, Hear me when I cry. Sing softly with me soothing chords Of unsung lullabies. Mourn anniversaries never marked, A future I cannot keep. They gently kiss the pain away, And love my heart to sleep. The ones who’ve gone before me Hold me in my dreams. They gently stroke my furrowed brow, And calm my silent screams. They love me in my heartache, Wait quietly nearby., Hold patiently, one to another Till I join them by and by.

Product knowledge from your salesperson is not necessarily the # 1 reason to buy. You have to look at the entire dealership as a whole. There are key items that are a must to be a RV DEALERSHIP. Ask to meet the service manager. Ask to see the service department facilities. If they don’t have one, you really have to think about who is doing your warranty work? Is it being farmed out to someone else? Will they even be able to address any service or warranty issues when they happen to arise? Do they employ competent RV Technicians to properly diagnose and repair your RV appliances? Are the accessories you purchased actually being installed at this location? Check out the parts department. Meet the parts manager and get a feel for the facility. Experienced trained staff is the key to a reputable RV Dealership. Being pro-active in the RV Industry ensures that your RV dealer is up to date with all new and upcoming changes.
