Turban used in heroic river rescue AVTAR HOTHI USED HIS HEAD — AND WHAT WAS ON IT — TO SAVE GIRL’S LIFE

MAIL MAY STOP THIS WEEKEND

The City of Kamloops and businesses are preparing for a stoppage in postal service as early as Saturday, July 2, as the union and Canada Post near an impasse on negotiations. Lara Plummer, local president of Canadian Postal Workers Union, said 175 members in Kamloops are preparing for a lockout. They voted last week and through the weekend whether to strike to back demands. She said the number of employees in Kamloops is down from about 200 five years ago. “We feel there’s going to be a lockout,” she said. “They’re [Canada Post] acting like there will be a labour disruption.” See STOPPAGE, A4

PAUL HOTHI PHOTO

Heffley Creek farmer Avtar Hothi is the talk of the province after employing a novel way to pull a girl from the North Thompson River. Son Paul credited his father with quick thinking: “My dad took his turban and threw it out in the water and pulled her out. She was in the middle of the river. We followed along. When she got close enough, we used it [turban] as a rope.”

When Avtar Hothi needed to rescue a girl floundering in the chilly North Thompson River on the weekend, he used something that was top of mind — his turban. The North Thompson farmer and son Paul were called to the riverside in the early evening on Saturday by shouts. The farm is beside the North Thompson River downstream of the Heffley Creek rapids. Neighbour Betty Timuss said she was outside her riverfront home with a friend when she heard noises she first though was a coyote or another animal. The pair heard it several more times and went down to look more closely at the river. “I could hear someone yelling, ‘Help, help! I can’t swim!” Timuss said, noting she jumped on her tractor to catch up to the swimmer while her girlfriend ran. Just downstream, the Hothi father and son duo was also coming to investigate. “We ran over and she was in the middle of the river,” Paul said. The girl was making her way downstream, her head bobbing up and down in the current. When she came close, Avtar yanked off his turban and tossed the end to the girl, about 10 or 12 feet into the river as she neared the shoreline. “My dad took his turban and threw it out in the water and pulled her out,” Paul said, crediting his father with quick thinking. “She was in the middle of the river. We followed along. When she got close enough, we used it [turban] as a rope.” Emergency services from Kamloops Fire Rescue and an RCMP helicopter were also dispatched to the scene, neighbours said. Paul said the girl was extremely cold from the time she spent in the river. A neighbour brought down a blanket and he drove the girl, who he does not know, to a relative’s house in the area.

Headed by the past-president of the federal Liberal riding association in Kamloops, the Green party is planning to field two candidates in the city in next year’s provincial election. Tyler Carpentier is the new president of the Green Kamloops-South Thompson constituency association. Greens met Monday night in downtown Kamloops in preparation for the May 2017 election. “I’m still involved with them [federal Liberals],” Carpentier said. “I don’t think it [serving as a provincial Green party executive] would be an issue really. It’s two different areas. A lot of members hold membership in both.” The Greens have yet to find Carpentier’s counterpart in Kamloops-North Thompson to lead the organizational effort against either Liberal incumbent Terry Lake or his replacement should the current minister of health decide not to run. But there is a would-be candidate for north of the river. Dan Hines, a facilitator and Anglican priest and co-founder of the Rarebirds Housing Co-operative, is seeking the Green nomination in Kamloops-North Thompson.

There is no word on possible Green candidates in Kamloops-South Thompson. Carpentier said the party intends to run candidates on both sides of the river. “There’s a reasonable chance of a contested nomination,” he said. “That’s exciting.” The party has not yet set nomination dates. Carpentier said he was inspired to become part of the Green executive by leader Andrew Weaver, the provincial Green leader and a climate scientist at University of Victoria elected in 2013 to the legislature. While new to the Green party, Carpentier said his understanding of the reason the party did not field candidates here in the 2013 provincial election was to avoid vote-splitting that could return the B.C. Liberals in what was thought to be at least one swing riding. “I got the sense there was a belief not to bleed votes away — that was the sentiment,” he said. The sentiment did not change results, with the B.C. Liberals enjoying a 13 per cent margin over the NDP in Lake’s Kamloops-North Thompson riding and more than 20 per cent in KamloopsSouth Thompson under rookie Todd Stone. The Greens did field candidates in the preceding three elections, when the party typically picked up six or seven per cent of the vote.

The party’s best result in Kamloops was in the 2001 wipeout of the governing New Democratic Party — when it was reduced to two seats provincially. Then-Green party candidate and current city councillor Denis Walsh won slightly more than 14 per cent of the vote in Kamloops-North Thompson, while running mate in the Kamloops riding, Joe Teichman, picked up almost 11 per cent. Meanwhile, Todd Stone was acclaimed Monday as B.C. Liberal candidate for Kamloops-South Thompson. Stone is in his first term as MLA, having been elected in May 2013. He is also the province’s transportation minister. “The NDP say they represent everyday British Columbians and they say they have a plan for jobs and families, but the problem is the NDP have rejected many key industries that get people working, such as those involved in resource extraction, that drive job creation in communities like Kamloops,” Stone said in a release. Terry Lake, MLA for Kamloops-North Thompson and health minister, has said he will decide at the end of summer whether to seek a third term. The NDP has yet to announce prospective candidates.

one of the highest increases, with just seven reported last year and 18 to the end of May. Of the provincial number, 250 men died and 58 women perished, with the 30-39 age category accounting the largest percentage of deaths, at 91 to the end of May. By region, Fraser Health recorded the most deaths to the end of May, with 93, followed by Vancouver Coastal with 72 and Vancouver Island with 66. Northern Health reported 20 such deaths. Interior Health has had 57 such deaths.

Residents hurt in fight with thieves Kamloops Mounties are looking for three suspects after a pair of Westsyde residents were injured early yesterday morning after confronting the thieves. Sgt. Darren Michels said a homeowner in the 3200-block of Westsyde Road was awakened at 4:15 a.m. by a noise coming from outside. The homeowner looked outside and saw three males trying to break into his vehicle. Two occupants of the home went outside to confront the suspects and an altercation ensued. Michels said the two residents suffered minor injuries and were taken to Royal Inland Hospital, where they were treated and released. Police responded, but the trio had fled. All three suspects are more than six feet in height and were wearing jeans. Two of the males were wearing black hoodies

and one male was sporting a grey hoodie. Anyone who witnessed the altercation or who knows the identify of the suspects is asked to call the Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000.

Plummer said those preparations include instructing businesses not to use the mail system, based on a series of deadlines, to ensure mail is not caught up in a work stoppage. The issues centre around Canada Post, a Crown corporation, wanting more flexibility from posties so packages can be delivered 24/7 to keep pace with private competition. “We want to help save the company,” Plummer said. “We want to save our jobs. We have ideas to help keep Canada Post viable.” Kamloops Chamber of Commerce president and city lawyer Ryan Scorgie said a stop-

page of postal service will hurt small business, including in the law profession. “For us specifically, it would cause negatives in our business,” he said. With real-estate transactions, in particular, “there’s a lot of Canada Post,” Scorgie said. While businesses are increasingly moving to electronic billing, Scorgie said most still rely on the mail. “If it [stoppage] were to last for a while, it would shift our business [to private couriers] and cause disruptions in our day-to-day business,” he said. The City of Kamloops had advised residents not to place their property-tax payments in the mail after June 23.

No, those aren’t jackrabbits. Visitors to the B.C. Wildlife Park are being greeted by a handful of new mammals after the Kamloops facility received five additions from Quebec. New to the wildlife park are a pair of Patagonian maras — a large rodent with a face resembling that of a jackrabbit and hindquarters similar to a wallaby’s — as well as a trio of wolves. The animals were surplus from the Hemmingford Parc Safari and were driven across Canada to Kamloops. All five were born in captivity. “Most people have never seen one before,” Glenn Grant, the executive director of the B.C. Wildlife Park, said of the maras. “They’re cute, but they’re kind of funny-looking at the same time.” The maras, both males, are a new species for Kamloops, the first of their kind to visit the River City. A species native to Argentina, the pair will be permanent residents and have been placed in an empty enclosure near the park’s raccoons. “A lot of the time we’ll bring in something interesting or exotic like that for the summertime, but these guys will be permanent residents,” Grant said. “Our focus is still to showcase British Columbia wildlife, but it’s kind of fun to bring in something people haven’t seen and will be intrigued about.” The wolves, meanwhile, were brought in to help the park’s declining population. The new trio — two brothers and a sister, all 20 months old — have been put in the usual wolf enclosure, while the park’s resident 16-year-old female has been moved off exhibit to a holding facility, where she can receive better veterinary care and be more closely monitored. “Our population was declining — we used to have four, we were down to one,” Grant said. “They’re absolutely beautiful. They’re going to be active and be there for quite some time — for the next 10, 12 years, they’ll call this place home.” All of the animals are out for the public to see. With the new additions, the B.C. Wildlife Park boasts 62 species, numbering roughly 420 animals.

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

Transportation Minister Todd Stone has released traffic and accident analysis of the first year of operation, saying more data are needed to understand the changes in traffic behaviour and accidents. Increased speed limits will continue in most areas, including on the Coquihalla, Okanagan Connector and between Parksville and Campbell River. where B.C.’s first 120 km/h speed limits are in place. Stone cited the Coquihalla as an example of different factors at play. Between Hope and Kamloops, where the limit went from 110 km/h to 120 km/h in November 2014, the crash rate remains at the lowest rate in the past 10 years. As for Kamloopsrelated statistics: • Highway 1 from Kamloops to Cache Creek saw an increase in average speed and a decrease in serious crashes; • Highway 5 from

Kamloops to Hope saw a decrease in average speed and a decrease in serious crashes; • Highway 1 from Kamloops to Salmon Arm saw an increase in average speed and an increase in serious crashes; • Highway 5 North from Kamloops to Tete Jaune Cache saw an increase in average speed and a decrease in serious crashes; • Highway 97 from Kamloops to Vernon

saw an increase in average speed and a decrease in serious crashes. Speed limits are being lowered on two sections of highway where engineers have determined other safety measures, such as passing lanes or rumble strips, aren’t likely to be successful. Those are Highway 1 from Hope to Boston Bar, rolled back from 100 km/h to 90 km/h, and Highway 5A

from Aspen Grove to Princeton, lowered from 90 km/h to 80 km/h. Increased speed limits remain in place on the Sea to Sky Highway from Horseshoe Bay to Squamish (80 km/h to 90 km/h) and Revelstoke to Golden (90 km/to 100 km/h). Raw data from the ministry show spikes in accidents on certain days, such as when there is heavy snow on the Coquihalla or in the Fraser Canyon. In some places, like Highway 99 north of Whistler, average traffic speed actually fell after the posted speed limit was increased. Ministry data show a long-term decline in serious crashes across provincial highways over the past decade, but a nine per cent increase in the 20142015 year that was studied. That increase shows up whether speed limits were changed or not and has also been reflected in increasing ICBC rates. Stone noted highways around North America have seen the same recent jump in accidents as experienced in B.C. Contributing factors include driver inattentiveness and driving too fast for weather conditions.

The Craziest Store In Town!

Let the wine-ing begin again COUNCIL RESTARTS SAVE-ON VINO VARIANCE BID ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Save-On-Foods will have a second chance to make its case for selling wine in its Sahali store. At its meeting on Tuesday, Kamloops city council voted to begin accepting public comments on whether the store should be allowed to carry B.C. wines in-store, despite being within one kilometre of several existing liquor stores, which is contrary to a city bylaw that prohibits new liquor sales within that distance from established businesses. Council will debate the application on July 12. Council voted not to allow wine sales in-store earlier this spring, but agreed to reconsider its decision after Save-On narrowed the description of what it would carry, from any B.C. wines, ciders and sakes made with B.C.-grown products, to only wines certified by the B.C. Wine Institute. At least one councillor who has led the charge to restrict wine sales in grocery stores is now supporting the grocery chain’s bid.

Marg Spina, who first proposed the one-kilometre rule that allowed council to block Save-On’s wine sales plan, said she is now comfortable with the store’s proposal. Spina had previously raised concerns about whether the new rules for grocery stores would result in the province bringing in less revenue from liquor taxes and questioned the need for more liquor outlets in the Sahali area. Pat Wallace used the brief debate to respond to critics of council’s plan, arguing some comments from residents and media have been rude. She said the narrowed proposal from Save-On shows councillors were right to be concerned about what kinds of wines would find their way to the store’s shelves. While Save-On representatives told council during the first debate on the issue they had no plans to sell wines that were not VQA-approved, some councillors said they didn’t want to give the store the additional sales options. BC VQA (Vintners Quality Alliance) is the appellation of origin and quality standard for

the Wines of British Columbia. Established in 1990, BC VQA certified wines must meet specific standards with respect to origin, vintage and varietals and are considered 100 per cent British Columbian. “I think people should ask you, when they go on the air or in a letter or newspaper, what your intent was or what your understanding was, so the good people that supported each of us don’t really think we did lack understanding or our hearing wasn’t good,” Wallace said. Tina Lange, another opponent of Save-On’s initial application, raised questions about whether limiting what wines the store can sell to VQA-only will make a difference if there are changes to licensing at a provincial level. Lange noted there is interest in converting VQA licences to special wine store licences — which are permitted to carry the range of products for which Save-On first applied. City council’s opposition to Save-On’s bid to sell wine has led to criticism from local MLAs Todd Stone and Terry Lake.

WILL NO MAIL HAVE AN IMPACT? In a world increasingly focused on all things online, Canada Post seems to be in the headlines more than one would expect. A year ago, a major federal-election campaign issue was the future of home delivery after the governing Conservatives announced plans to end daily mail trips to urban homes. Under the new Liberal government, that decision is on hold as the issue is reviewed. Meanwhile, the Crown corporation is again making headlines this week as a labour dispute looms this weekend. The Canadian Union of Postal Workers and Canada Post have been without a contract since 2015 and Saturday is the deadline for reaching an agreement on a new deal. While the union asked this week for a twoweek cooling-off period, management refused and the prospect of a lockout — and no mail delivery — is real. Canada Post wants changes to new-employee benefits. It also wants to be able to hire part-time or temporary staff instead of paying weekend employees premiums. The union is focused on pay-equity issues, noting rural carriers make up to one-third less than their urban peers. There are other issues, to be sure, but the prospect of a mail-delivery shutdown raises the question of whether you or your neighbour will be significantly impacted. Sure, businesses will feel the pain, but how often and in what manner does the average Canadian use Canada Post? Writing letters is a dying art, due to email and text. Many bills are now paid online. Parcel delivery is a big part of Canada Post’s business, but in the event of a labour dispute, there are plenty of private couriers available. If the mail stops this coming week, how many of us will notice? Pay attention. This could be a watershed moment.

Burning out with no help

ome days, an email can make me stop and wonder what’s wrong with our world. One came in earlier this month and it speaks to the way our provincial government treats people with disabilities. It came from a dad of an adult daughter with enough special needs that she cannot live on her own and has mobility issues. She needs to use the HandyDART system to get to appointments, but dad says that has become more difficult to arrange. “The government will tell you she can [use the system],” dad wrote. “HandyDART is available to all who need it. What they don’t tell you is that they’ve trimmed the budget enough that HandyDART no longer has enough drivers or enough buses to meet the needs of the community.” Even booking one day in advance doesn’t guarantee it will actually be available, dad wrote. His daughter receives services from a local agency. At one time, a caregiver came to their house Mondays to Fridays for two hours each day to provide hygenic care and help his daughter with housework and other chores. These are the kinds of things daughter wants to do because, despite her challenges, she wants to be a contributing member of her family and knows dad — her only family caregiver — is burning out trying to be all things for her. Now, dad wrote, in-home care has ended except for someone coming to help daughter have a

DALE BASS

Street

LEVEL bath twice a week. That’s it. No one is available to help her clean her room or make her bed, to take her out into the community and to be a help so dad isn’t doing it all. The reason for the decrease, dad said, is the agency’s move to not send out workers, but to have clients come to a central location for social opportunities, something dad sees as another result of inadequate funding for this community. If the little in-home care daughter receives falls on a statutory holiday, there is no care and it falls to dad again. “We primary caregivers do not get a stat holiday,” he wrote. Dad is retired and it’s just him and his daughter. He’s burning out, he wrote, and attempts to get assistance have fallen flat. He has called Community Living B.C. (CLBC), but said messages left are returned several days later, usually with an excuse that the person was in meetings. He said he has given up trying to deal with the front-line workers at CLBC.

“I asked for the supervisor,” he wrote. “I got his voicemail. That was a Monday. I got a return call on Friday afternoon, which went to my voice mail. He said, ‘Sorry I couldn’t get back to you. I was in meetings in Vancouver. ‘ “Really? Like you don’t get your messages because you’re overseas on the remote jungle island of Vancouver? What is this — 1975? So you call back on a Friday afternoon knowing there’s a chance you’ll be able to put any action off until next week. “I may be cynical about the process, but it’s certainly convenient for them, not me. I didn’t get the message until after they were closed at the convenient hour of 4 p.m.,” dad wrote. “It worked out well for the supervisor because I gave up. We all know the trick of releasing bad news on a Friday afternoon.” Some might think dad is complaining, but those who live the same life he does know the truth. Adults with special needs get little financial support. The rates have not changed in years; $375 is the shelter allowance and there’s no place in Kamloops available at that rate. Actual support outside the shelter allowance range is equally inadequate. And here’s dad’s final point, one no parent should have to face. He knows he’s burning out. He’s in his golden years and is doing all he can, but he worries about the future. He worries about his own health failing. Who will help his daughter then? dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

WALKABOUT A SUCCESS, ANOTHER POSSIBLE to understand and remember. Based upon accounts from those in attendance, the group and I also gained some new information about that fateful day — and for that I thank those who spoke to us. I would like to make two corrections to the KTW article. That day in 1962 represented the greatest one-day loss of officers by gunfire in RCMP history to that point, matched in Moncton in 2014 and surpassed only by the incident in Mayerthorpe in 2005. The force lost five members in 1958, although that was to a single boating accident, not to a shooting. As well, I was quoted in the article as say-

ing George Booth was able to talk Const. Joe Keck into showing himself before Booth fired a fatal shot. I had not properly communicated in the interview that this was purely anecdotal and it almost certainly has no basis in truth. Several people have enquired about the possibility of a second walk at Glenfair. If there is sufficient interest, I would be happy to make arrangements for another such event in the coming weeks. I can be contacted by email at zwickerbrant@gmail.com. Thank you Brant Zwicker Kamloops

of Kamloops employees and hired consultants laid out the rationale for traffic control of the Kamloops Recovery Centre (previously known as the Owl Road dump). Two major options were presented to allow access routing of truck traffic. The first option was to maintain the Owl Road route off Valleyview Drive (with minor changes to the existing entrance) and the second option was to construct a newer entrance off Highland Drive. After presenting reasons for their recommendations, they have chosen to maintain the current entrance from Owl Road off Valleyview Drive. The issue of more truck traffic through two school zones in a residential community and the added pressure on one of the worst intersections anywhere, that being Vicars Road, were not given

least-cost option. The obvious route should be access off the Trans-Canada Highway, up Highland Drive and to the dump on a new road. If city council cares about quality of life in existing communities, it will vote for a better plan than what will be recommended to them on this project. Cramming more traffic, including large trucks, does nothing to alleviate the traffic crisis at the Vicars Road intersection or maintain safe streets through two school zones. Residents of Valleyview need to pay attention to what is going to take place in their community. Dale Mortimer Kamloops

Two years for sexual assaults TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A “potentially psychopathic” man who in 2013 raped a Grade 8 student while he was a senior at the same Kamloops high school has been ordered to spend two years behind bars. Now 20, the man’s name is protected by a publication ban under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. He was 17 at the time of the offences. He pleaded guilty to two offences — one of sexual assault and another of invitation to sexual touching of a person under 16. Court heard the accused and the 13-year-old victim were involved in a relationship between January and June of 2013, when the offences took place. In one case, the accused took the victim to a secluded area in a park while

cutting class and ordered her to remove her pants. Court heard he then raped the victim. He sexually assaulted her on two other occasions, including once in a room at school when he covered a window with paper. At other points in their relationship, he would bite her until she bruised and bled. In court, the victim said she suffers from physical pain and anxiety as a result of the assaults and can no longer wear certain clothes in public for fear of drawing attention to herself. Kamloops provincial court Judge Stella Frame called the victim “eloquent and compelling, but deeply emotional.” Frame cited multiple psychiatric reports in delivering her sentence. At the time of the offences, the accused was under psychiatric care

as the result of a previous offence in which he sexually touched a young male cousin. Court heard the reports label the accused “a moderate-high to high risk to re-offend,” and found that he has antisocial tendencies, lacks empathy and exhibits “possible sexual deviancy.” Another doctor said in a report that the accused shows “potential indicators of psychopathy.” Frame sentenced the accused to two years less a day in jail, to be followed by a two-year probation term with orders barring him from having any contact with the victim and from visiting playgrounds or places where children might be present.

Killer of friend fails in appeal of conviction TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

B.C.’s highest court has tossed the appeal of a Kamloops man who stabbed a friend to death during a downtown house party four years ago. Torbin Alec was charged with second-degree murder following the July 15, 2012, death of Jesse Seymour. The 29-year-old was stabbed six times, including twice in the heart, during a fight with Alec in the front yard of a Columbia Street home. Alec and Seymour were close friends. Court heard they had been drunkenly brawling at the house party after Seymour became involved in an argument with a girl. Midway through his trial in 2013, Alec pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was handed a six-year prison sentence in April 2014. Alec, 33, appealed his conviction on the grounds his guilty plea was invalid and his conviction a miscarriage of justice. He also argued he should have had more time to apply to strike his plea prior to sentencing due to “aboriginal fatalism” — a notion that First Nations offenders often try to speed up court proceedings, including entering guilty pleas, due to a perceived powerlessness. Both appeals were dismissed on

Tuesday by a three-judge B.C. Court of Appeal panel. At the time of his sentencing, Alec claimed he was acting in selfdefence. In a bizarre and emotionally charged hearing, he took the witness stand in a Kamloops courtroom and explained his actions the night of Seymour’s death in vivid detail. The courtroom was packed with Seymour’s friends and family. At times during the hearing, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley allowed members of the gallery to have a back-and-forth with Alec. Alec’s explanation on the day of his sentencing included elements of self-defence, with which Seymour’s family took issue. “You killed him,” Shane Bottle, a friend of Seymour, shouted at Alec in court. “Yeah,” Alec replied. “I have to own that.” Seymour’s mother, Sandra Seymour, also spoke directly to Alec from the gallery. “My son let you in,” she said. “You were part of our family at one point. Enough.” Alec replied, saying he had nothing to hide. “You guys can take what I said and see it as a lie,” he said, addressing Seymour’s family. “As I see it, I pled out already. There’s no reason for me to come up here and bullshit.”

PROVINCIAL NEWS REAL ESTATE

ordered to B.C. to end real B.C. disclose water estate industry’s information self regulation THE CANADIAN PRESS

THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — British Columbia is ending the self-regulation of the real estate industry in a move Premier Christy Clark says is aimed at protecting consumers. Clark said Wednesday the province will hire a new superintendent of real estate, who will take over the rule-making authority held by the B.C. Real Estate Council. The announcement comes the day after an independent advisory group tasked with restoring consumer confidence in the industry released a report with 28 recommendations, including hefty fines for misconduct. “After reading the report, our conclusion is that the privilege of self-regulation in the real estate industry must end,’’ Clark said in a statement. Shady practices are putting consumers at risk and tarnishing the reputations of honest agents, she added. The Real Estate Council of B.C. created the advisory group in February amid concerns about predatory sales tactics and allegations that some agents were deceiving clients in order to rack up larger commissions. The group’s report suggested prohibiting a single agent from representing both buyers and sellers in a single transaction, having any profits received from misconduct returned to the client, and the creation of a confidential whistleblower hotline. It also recommended the province hike the maximum misconduct fines to $250,000 for individual Realtors and $500,000 for brokerages — a significant increase from current maximum fines of $10,000 and $20,000.

VICTORIA — British Columbia’s privacy B.C. News commissioner says the provincial government must disclose soil test results linked to a contaminated aquifer near Vernon. Elizabeth Denham said legislation requires disclosure of information that is in the public interest. Environment Minister Mary Polak said her ministry accepts the order to release the soil test results and nutrient management plans covering the Hullcar Valley. Concerns have been raised about the application of liquid manure on area farms, and Denham stepped in earlier this year after a complaint from Victoria’s Environmental Law Centre that water quality information for the Hullcar Valley was not available.

Lightning storms spark northern B.C. wildfires; more bad weather coming KAMLOOPS — Twenty-five new wildfires were sparked across British Columbia on Tuesday night, most of them by lightning strikes in the province’s northeastern corner. Fire information officer Claire Allen said more thunderstorms were forecast from the Cariboo north to the Yukon boundary on Wednesday, and fire officials will be keeping a close eye on the situation. She said of the 25 fires reported Tuesday, 20 were caused by lightning, two were humancaused and three were still unclear with investigations ongoing. In all, 54 wildfires are burning across B.C., 31 of them caused by lightning.

Short-lived freedom for curious escaped corn snake on Vancouver Island VICTORIA — A corn snake with a lust for freedom is back in its Victoria-area enclosure after several hours on the lam. The 1.2-metre-long reptile slipped out of its cage in an Esquimalt apartment building Tuesday afternoon. There was alarm because it was first identified as a more aggressive boa constrictor, but Victoria police confirmed it as a usually placid, nonvenomous corn snake. The owner found the pet early yesterday morning, not far from where it first wriggled free.

Ontario’s top court upholds denial of accreditation for Christian law school TORONTO — The latest blow to a proposed law school at a Langley-based university comes from Ontario’s highest court. The Ontario Court of Appeal has unanimously dismissed an appeal from Trinity Western and upheld a decision by the Law Society of Upper Canada to deny accreditation to the Christian school. At issue is the university’s covenant requiring students to abstain from actions including sexual intimacy outside marriage or intimacy “that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman.’’ Students could be expelled for violations, and while Ontario’s high court agreed freedom of religion and equality are both protected by the Charter of Rights, it also said the law society’s decision not to accredit Trinity Western is a reasonable conclusion.

MONTREAL — Bombardier’s CSeries program is finally getting off the ground with delivery of the aircraft to Swiss International Air Lines, the first carrier to accept the plane, after 2 1/2 years of delay and at least $2 billion in cost overruns. The CS100 passenger jet was formally handed over yesterday to the European carrier at Montreal’s Mirabel airport. “A new aircraft program like the CSeries aircraft comes around once in a lifetime and it’s a proud achievement that belongs to many,’’ Rob Dewar, vice-president of Bombardier’s CSeries program, said in a statement. The plane, the first of 30 firm CSeries orders by Swiss International, is scheduled to leave for Zurich today and begin regular service July 15. The CSeries was making its first passenger flights in North America later Wednesday with members of the news media as well as suppliers and guests invited aboard two one-hour flights around the airport. A similar flight took place June 3 between Dublin and Zurich. A test aircraft will also conduct passenger flights next month at the Farnborough Air Show near London. Montreal-based Bombardier has struggled financially as it developed the CSeries, the largest plane the company has built. The aerospace manufacturer recently finalized an agreement with the Quebec government on a US$1-billion investment in exchange for a 49.5 per cent stake in the CSeries. The province will make two US$500 million payments: the first on today and the second due Sept. 1. Bombardier is also seeking a similar contribution from the

federal government. However, Ottawa has reportedly pushed Bombardier to change

sources. But they had to confront Trump’s dramatic denunciation of the North American Free Trade Agreement and Britain’s stunning decision to leave the European Union. On Tuesday, Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, delivered his most explicit threat to smash NAFTA. Obama acknowledged that the critics of free trade have legitimate arguments about how prosperity flows to too few of their fellow citizens, who aren’t sharing the wealth and are seeing their wages flat line. Still, Obama said, “the prescription of withdrawing from trade deals and focusing on solely on your local market — that’s the wrong medicine.’’ He argued for fairer trade in an interconnected world. Obama said it’s too late to try to prevent the integration of national economies into a single global entity, because it has already happened. “The question is not whether or not there’s going to be an international, global economy — there is one,’’ the president said. “Under what terms are we going to shape that economy?’’ Trudeau said it proved to be one of the key themes of the North American Leaders’ Summit, to highlight how trade

Obama passes torch in Parliament speech THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — U.S. President Barack Obama passed a diplomatic torch of sorts to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau yesterday in his historic address to the House of Commons. Obama said Trudeau has brought new energy and leadership to Canada and to the everlasting alliance between the two countries. And, the president said, Canada and the world will continue to benefit from Trudeau’s time in office, even as his own era comes to an end. Obama was greeted and interrupted frequently by sustained standing ovations and cheers as he entered the House of Commons, shaking hands with cabinet ministers as he took his seat, and throughout his speech. He was introduced by Trudeau, who paid tribute to Obama’s time in office by saying the world has learned from him — not by virtue of his executive orders, but by his example. Obama’s speech marked the first Commons address by a U.S. president since Bill Clinton spoke on Parliament Hill in 1995.

and international agreements are good for global economy and for people around the world. “Always there will be people trying to get us all to turn inwards but the fact is our world is interconnected in so many ways that it is much better that we engage, that we work through our challenges together.’’

PENA NIETO

Countries that export more of their goods to markets around the world are wealthier, and its citizens are able to share in that growth, Trudeau said. Obama, however, was responsible for the highlight of the news conference, using the closing moments of the leaders’ joint press conference to launch

into a stinging attack on Trump, without naming him directly. Obama bristled at the suggestion that Trump’s anti-trade and anti-immigration rhetoric is somehow representative of a form of “populism.’’ “Somebody else who has never showed any regard for workers, has never fought on behalf of social justice issues, or making sure that poor kids are getting a decent shot at life or have health care?” Obama said. “They don’t suddenly become a populist because they say something controversial in order to win votes.” “That’s not the measure of populism. “That’s nativism or xenophobia — or worse. Or it’s just cynicism.’’ Obama also tried to shield Trudeau and Pena Nieto from a reporter’s question that wanted them to take a tougher stand against Trump. Trudeau offered his same boilerplate response that he’ll work with whichever candidate American voters send to the White House. But Pena Nieto delved in, saying in Spanish that in yesterday’s world “we have political leaders, political stakeholders that use demagoguery and have populistic slogans that want to eliminate and destroy what has been built.’’

Put a Brazilian twist on succotash with black beans SARAH MOULTON

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

his week’s recipe puts a Brazilian twist on an American staple — succotash. It should be just the ticket in August, when millions of us watch the Olympics being played in Rio de Janeiro. The classic version of succotash is a combination of fresh corn and lima beans (or some other shell bean), sometimes embellished with tomatoes or peppers. At least as old as the arrival of the Europeans in America, the dish takes its name from a Narragansett term meaning “broken corn kernels.’’ (The Narragansett people are a Native American tribe centred in Rhode Island.) To this day, succotash often appears on menus throughout New England on Thanksgiving. This Brazilian version of succotash holds fast to the corn, but swaps out the lima beans for black beans, a staple of Brazilian cuisine. So are okra, coconut milk and cilantro, which I’ve also added. Although okra boasts a unique and appealing taste, its texture — depending on how it is prepared — can be offputting. Sliced and cooked, okra gives up a gelatinous liquid. That’s not a problem in Louisiana, where locals depend on okra’s gluiness to thicken their gumbo. Likewise, okra dipped in buttermilk and fried in cornmeal is considered a delicacy throughout the South. I wanted to do what I could to minimize the veggie’s gooiness. I knew if I cooked the okra pod whole, the liquid

MAKING ROOM FOR GUR SINGH DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

o Dr. Simon Treissman, his colleague, neurosurgeon Gur Singh, was simply a living legend. Treissman is chief of staff at Royal Inland Hospital — a position Singh also held at the facility. Treissman told a crowd gathered in the courtyard of the hospital on Monday that Singh was always filled with optimism and happiness, something he shared with all he encountered during the years he worked at RIH as its first doctor in his specialty field. It’s why, Treissman said, it’s fitting that room 613 at the hospital, a neurosurgery observation room, has been named after Singh, a man who brought his family to Kamloops in 1967 to take on the position he held for almost five decades. Singh died in March of 2015. Interior Health board member Frank Quinn recalled a man he considered a mentor and a friend, someone who would put in 100-plus hour work weeks “reaching into people’s brains and their spines,” sharing good news with those in the waiting rooms or girding himself to deliver the bad news. “And then he had to go home, turn the switch on and be that incredible father,” Quinn said. “He made more difference in this community than anyone I know in Kamloops.” Singh was born in India and moved to North America in 1961, arriving in Kamloops in Canada’s centennial year of 1967. One of his proudest

moments, son Arjun said, was creating a neuro unit at the hospital. RIH operating room nurse Karen Joyce recounted tales from working with Singh, including one that happened on a Sunday. Joyce recalled: Singh called and said, “I have a kid. Craniotomy. He’s coming up,” and hung up. She said staff knew they had to leap into action and be ready. As the stretcher with the 11-year-old boy rolled up to the operating room, Singh came in and asked for a drill and prep. “Within seconds, he had the pressure relieved in the boy’s skull. He took a deep breath and said ‘OK, we can finish the surgery now,’” Joyce said. “He saved this 11-year-old boy.” In 2014, Singh was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Arjun said he wanted his final days to be spent in the city’s hospice or at home, but he ended up

in his second home — RIH. Singh wanted a single room, but ended up sharing one with a man who might have been his patient had the neurosurgeon still been practising. Arjun recalled how much pain the man was in, but as his father’s health continued to fail, the man’s health improved. “I choose to believe my dad was there for a reason,” Arjun said. “I believe he helped him in spirit.” Arjun said he believes his dad would be humbled by the honour of having room 613 named after him. “He was incredibly committed to his work at RIH and to the RIH community,” Arjun said. “He spent several years after he first settled in Kamloops working 24 hours, seven days a week on call. “This was challenging for him and his family, but dad truly believed in the work he was doing.”

Kamloops’ heritage steam engine is hitting the tracks today for its first full season since 2012. Though the Spirit of Kamloops railtour resumed for a short time last summer, manager Rosanne Nelson said the Kamloops Heritage Railway Society is considering this year’s kickoff the real welcome back tour. “Because the steam locomotive was still in the middle of its major restoration, we started a bit later than we had hoped,” she said. “The summer runs, we only had about two weeks, something like that, so we don’t even really count that. Once we got rolling for the Ghost Train and the Spirit of Christmas, we sold out.” The 104-year old 2141 was out of com-

2141 steams toward another season on tracks mission until late last summer, parked in early 2013 after failing an inspection by Transport Canada. It took more than 6,500 laborious hours to get the historic train back on track. The train travels the same 10-kilometre route for every tour, leaving the historic CN Rail station on Lorne Street, crossing the South Thompson River and travelling through the Tk’emlups reserve lands north toward the CN yard. The round-trip journey takes about an hour. Nelson described the experience as nostalgic and unique, considering the locomotive is the only one of its kind still intact. Passengers are able to explore the 1954 passenger coach, cafe lounge, caboose and cupolas freely during the ride.

Painting from pictures JESSICA KLYMCHUK

STAFF REPORTER

jklymchuk@kamloopsthisweek.com

For every photo Claire McMillan takes, she sees a painting. The watercolour artist hails from Northern Ireland, but the blue and green hues of her work are inspired by the Canadian landscapes she fell in love with when she moved to Banff — the glacial lakes, the Rocky Mountains. Many of McMillan’s paintings, some available tomorrow during Art in the Park, are reproductions of photos from her travels. She was in Australia when some friendly Canadians inspired her to come north and soon she’ll call the country her permanent home, having started the residency process. “It was really that I met awesome Canadians. There was really no other rhyme or reason,” McMillan said. “I fell in love with Canada, so I really wanted to invest myself and get sponsored to stay.” The 29-year-old paints from a home studio on Seymour Street West. The last year has

been good for McMillan artistically — finding her footing in the Kamloops arts scene after moving to the city last summer, landing a job with Portfolio Interiors and launching Pineapple Mac Studio on the website Etsy. McMillan decided to brand her work creatively with her nickname, Pineapple Head, adopted during her time in Australia because of her tendency to wear her curly red hair in a knot on top of her head. McMillan is an interior designer by trade, but her painting has always influenced her work. While studying interior design in the UK, she often used watercolours rather than sketches or digital art to inspire her projects. “I wasn’t practising my art, but I used my art in my design process,” McMillan said. “I just really liked working with it, how dynamic it was. It’s so fluid. You can have really crazy washes, but you can do lots of detail as well.” From a young age, McMillan was creatively influenced by her aunt, who was a watercolour

painter, but she only started seriously pursuing the craft in recent years. Her mother rejuvenated her work, with requests for originals that complemented her holistic healing practices back in the UK. “That really got me back into painting,” McMillan said. “Then I realized I wanted to do it for me. I started getting better. I wasn’t as restrictive as to what I was doing. I started experimenting more and then I started doing mostly landscapes.” As a designer, McMillan also works with textiles and creates custom cushion covers often made through upcycling thrift store fabric or samples that discontinue. No design is the same, she said. McMillan has found success selling her textiles and paintings — both originals and prints — on Etsy. Her cushion covers are also for sale at The Art We Are, where she hopes to eventually secure wall space for her paintings. The sneak peek Art in the Park exhibit last week at the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre was the first time McMillan had

Buick introduces first convertible for North American Market in 25 years smooth shifts in the test vehicle. Fuel economy is disappointing, with a federal government rating of only 20 miles a gallon in city driving and 27 m.p.g. on highways. The test vehicle averaged 22 m.p.g. in combined city/highway driving, amounting to a travel range of just 314 miles on a single, 14.3-gallon tank. Premium gasoline is recommended but not required. With the roof up or down, the test vehicle exhibited “cowl shake’’ as it travelled over road bumps —a characteristic of opentop cars because of the loss of rigidity due to the lack of a metal roof structure. The front-wheel drive Cascada does not offer driver-adjustable suspension settings. The brakes were softer than the driver would have liked, and steering was mainstream. Rear-seat legroom of 32.8 inches is good enough for smaller-sized adults, though rear-seat cushions are short. Headroom with the roof on the car is commendable, with a sedan-like 37.8 inches for front-seat passengers and 36.1 inches in the back seat. Some of the car’s information displays, however, can be washed out by the sun and difficult to read in top-down driving.

uick’s first convertible for the North American market in 25 years is a stylish, comfortable, soft-top cruiser that’s reasonably priced, seats up to four people and has an expandable trunk. The starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price for the Buick Cascada, including destination charge, is just $33,990 — a base price that includes a 200-horsepower, turbocharged four-cylinder engine, leather-trimmed seats and steering wheel, rear vision camera, dualzone climate control, onboard navigation system and 20-inch wheels and tires. Unexpected touches include power seat-belt “presenters,’’ which pull the front-seat belts forward to help the driver and front passenger buckle up. The trunk also is smartly engineered with 9.8 cubic feet of cargo space when the convertible top is down and a noteworthy 13.4 cubic feet when the top is up. More cargo space is available by folding down the rear seatbacks, a feature often found in sedans but not in two-

door convertibles. The Cascada’s standard safety features include six air bags, traction control, electronic stability control, antilock brakes and metal pop-up bars that automatically deploy behind the rear-seat headrests during a rollover crash to help minimize head injuries. Other safety equipment, such as lane departure warning and forward collision alert, are available on the upper trim level.

But it doesn’t offer other modern safety technology, such as blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alerts, that could improve driver views and alerts. As it is, the Cascada’s side sheet metal comes up quite high and can make the driver and passengers feel like they’re sitting in a low bowl. When making turns, drivers need to look around the thick metal pillars at the sides of the front windshield

that extend back toward the passenger compartment. Plus, the driver’s rear view is constrained because of the car’s high trunk lid and the small, slit-like rear window. Still, the Cascada, which is built in Poland and is a version of an Opel car in Europe, is appealing and easy to drive. The Cascada’s only engine is a 1.6-litre, turbocharged, Ecotec fourcylinder that generates decent horsepower and

peak torque of 207 footpounds starting at 1,800 r.p.m and going to 4,500 r.p.m. The power is needed because, at nearly 4,000 pounds, the Cascada is heavy for its subcompact size. However, the car moves in sprightly, rather than sporty, fashion, and there can be a bit of turbo lag before power kicks in during passing manoeuvrs.

Each year, it’s a highlight on the Kamloops Players Bench RiverDogs’ schedule, a chance for home fans to gather on McArthur Island and get behind their local midget AAA baseball squad. The 16th annual Daley and Company Canada Day Classic gets underway tonight, with the Dogs squaring off against the Whalley Chiefs at 7 p.m. at Norbrock Stadium. “Guys appreciate the importance of the event,” said RiverDogs’ manager Sean Wandler, whose charges are 7-19 in B.C. Baseball play this season, sitting last in the eight-team tier 1 division. “Outside of our playoffs, it’s the next big event we have. I don’t need to give them a sell job. They have to be ready to play.” For graduating players Lucas Lott, Trey Alec, Tobin Huffman and Vincent Daley, this year’s tourney marks their last chance to break a 15-year drought, with the Dogs’ only Canada Day Classic win coming in 2001, its inaugural year. Kamloops has been to the final three times since then, in 2013, 2011 and 2008, but the trophy has proved elusive. Less important to Wandler than wins and losses or breaking the Canada Day Classic Curse this weekend is the development of his team, which will enter the stretch drive toward playoffs follow-

Josh Wolfram (right), formerly of the TRU WolfPack, is heading to Sweden to play professional basketball this fall. He is a South Kamloops secondary graduate.

WOLFRAM GOES PRO ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Three years ago, Josh Wolfram’s basketball future was far from certain. The former South Kamloops Titan was embarking on his first season with the Thompson Rivers WolfPack after playing his first two years of university basketball with the Calgary Dinos. He was coming off a hiatus, having returned to Kamloops the previous year and forced by a Canada West rule to sit out for a season before suiting up for a new school. And, despite being a highly touted prospect out of South Kam, Wolfram’s university career was off to a slow start. It was time for the Kamloops native to show what he could really do. He did just that — and the professional ranks took note. Wolfram has signed his first pro contract and will play basketball in Sweden this fall, suiting up for Umea BSKT of the Sweden-Basketligan League. The guaranteed contract is for one season, with a team option

for a second, and will see the 6-foot10 forward earn US$1,200 a month. “It’s a dream come true,” Wolfram told KTW. The Sweden-Basketligan is an 11-team league that plays a 30-game schedule. Last season, Umea finished in last place with a 4-26 record. “Any chance I get to continue playing basketball, and now to be able to go see another part of the world I’ve never seen while being paid to do it, is a dream come true.” It was during his fourth season — his second with Thompson Rivers — that Wolfram said he truly started to consider professional basketball an option. He was named a first-team all-star that year and was top five in both rebounding and three-point percentage. He competed for Canada in the World University Games. In his senior campaign, he finished third in league rebounding and second in points per game. He was again an all-star and was honoured as Basketball BC’s male university basketball player of the year. See FITNESS, A22

He led the WolfPack to the CIS national championship for the first time in program history. â€œIf I look back to my first year in the CIS, I didnâ€™t play very much, I was a bench player. Every year I got better and better until finally this past season, we led our team to nationals. I had my most successful year both personally and as a team,â€? Wolfram said. â€œI think it has really just grown every year for me. I feel Iâ€™ve really made huge strides since coming back to Kamloops.â€? Wolfram stopped short of calling the move home the turning point of his career, but it was upon his return to the Tournament Capital that the 23-year-old took his game to the next level. It started with improving his physical condition â€” he and WolfPack head coach Scott Clark started an off-season running

basketball program. Since taking over the menâ€™s team in 20102011, the coach has had five graduates continue their careers after university. Clark said the move to Sweden-Basketligan will allow Wolfram to continue working at his game. Continuing up the professional ranks is not out of the question. â€œIâ€™m of the opinion, being a pro doesnâ€™t mean youâ€™re getting paid. I think being a pro is the way you go about things â€” showing up every day, working hard, those are the attributes of a pro,â€? Clark said. â€œFrom that perspective, I already think that Josh kind of is a pro.â€?

regimen and Wolfram devoted more focus to strength training. â€œHe always had the ability to shoot the basketball and he has always been 6-foot-10. The issue was his conditioning wasnâ€™t that good and I think that his outlook on whatâ€™s required to be good wasnâ€™t good enough,â€? Clark said. â€œWhen guys are really good, when they get older, they understand what they do in the off-season is more important than what theyâ€™re going to do in the season. Thatâ€™s probably where he has made the biggest strides.â€? Clark described Wolframâ€™s signing as a boon for not only for a young player, but for TRUâ€™s

Blazers draft Latvian

Rudolfs Balcers will bring Latvian flavour to Kamloops during the 2016-2017 WHL campaign. The 19-year-old forward from Liepaja, Latvia, was selected 43rd overall by the Kamloops Blazers at the CHL Import Draft on Tuesday. “He is a skilled player with great speed,” said Blazers’ general manager Stu MacGregor, who watched Balcers in action at the 2015 under-18 world hockey championship in Switzerland. “We’ve had some great reports on Rudolfs and believe he will be a very good player for us.” The San Jose Sharks picked Balcers in Round 5 of the 2015 NHL Draft and he spent the last two seasons playing for the Stavanger Oilers in the GET-ligaen, the premier Norwegian professional hockey league. Balcers, the youngest player on Stavanger’s roster, had 15 goals and 24 points in 43 games last season and added 10 points in 17 playoff

Oilers part with Hall in deal for Devils’ Larsson JONAS SIEGEL

THE CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — The Edmonton Oilers finally shook up their core and dealt for help on defence. The Oilers sent former No. 1 overall pick Taylor Hall to New Jersey in exchange for 23-yearold Adam Larsson, the fourth overall pick of the 2011 draft. It was long thought the Oilers would deal at least one longstanding core piece — Hall, Jordan Eberle and Ryan NugentHopkins leading the speculation — to beef up a blue line that’s wobbled through a string of empty seasons. In the end, the Oilers rebuild that started with the drafting of Hall in 2010 will continue without him. “I spoke with Taylor about the trade earlier today and he was very disappointed,’’ Oilers’ general manager and president of hockey operations Peter Chiarelli said. “[He] felt that he was part of the solution and I didn’t disagree with him. I just said this

a pair of 30-goal-scorers in Kyle Palmieri and Adam Henrique. Hall will now front the attack. Stocked with young forwards, including Connor McDavid and Jesse Puljujarvi, the surprise fourth overall pick at last week’s draft, the Oilers could afford to part with Hall. The club is gambling on the future of Larsson, a large, easyskating defenceman who’s yet to find a groove in the NHL. Larsson entered the league as a 19-year-old, mostly stumbling through his first five NHL seasons. He’s not produced much offence (his career-high is 24 points in 64 games) and owned anemic-looking puck possession numbers last season, while notably starting a majority of shifts in the defensive zone. Chiarelli preferred to look at Larsson’s upside yesterday. “It took him a while to get going, but he had a terrific year this past year,’’ Chiarelli said. “He moves the puck, he defends well, he can log a lot of minutes.’’

Subban out in trade for Weber BILL BEACON

Today’s Sudoku Puzzle is brought to you by Murray MacRae

BROSSARD, Que. — The Montreal Canadiens traded P.K. Subban to the Nashville Predators for Shea Weber yesterday in a blockbuster swap of star defencemen. Many fans and media in Montreal reacted with shock or even outrage when the Canadiens announced that the popular Subban was leaving the team after seven seasons. The deal came two days before a no-trade clause was to go into effect on a long-term contract averaging US$9 million per season. Canadiens’ general manager Marc Bergevin said in a release that the deal would “make the Canadiens a better team. “It is also one of the most difficult decisions I’ve had to make

as a general manager of the Montreal Canadiens. In Shea Weber, we get a top-rated NHL defenceman with tremendous leadership and a player who will improve our defensive group as well as our power play for many years to come. He is a complete rearguard.’’ Subban’s flashy, risk-taking style appeared at times to be at odds with coach Michel Therrien’s more conservative approach and questions were raised about his popularity with his teammates this season. Bergevin said last week that, while he was not “shopping’’ Subban, he was listening to offers for the 2013 Norris Trophy winner as the NHL’s top defenceman. He got the bigger, more defensively dependable player he was likely seeking in Weber, one of the NHL’s premier rear-

guards who, at nearly 31, is more than three years older than the 27-year-old Subban. Both are right-hand shooters. The six-foot-four native of Sicamous, brings a booming shot that helped him lead the NHL with 14 power play goals last season. He has been a constant on Canadian teams at major events, winning Olympic gold in 2010 and 2014. Like Subban, he rarely misses games to injury, having sat out only 19 games in the last eight campaigns. Weber has 166 goals and 443 points in 763 career games. He scored 20 goals and 31 assists in 78 games last season for the Predators. Subban, a Toronto native, recorded six goals and 45 assists in 68 games last season for the Canadiens. The Toronto native has 63 goals and 278 points in 434 career games.

is a business, you have to make hard decisions.” The price was high, but the need for an improved blue line was evident in Edmonton. The Oilers have missed the playoffs in 10 straight seasons, last appearing in 2006. The club remained one of the league’s worst defensively last season despite stability in goal with first-year starter Cam Talbot. Still just 24, Hall has become one of the league’s top left wingers, an explosive talent who has produced 183 points over the past three seasons, trailing only Alex Ovechkin, Max Pacioretty and Daniel Sedin at the position in that span. He scored 26 goals and 65 points last season, falling off some in the second half. Hall, who has four years remaining on a reasonable contract with a cap hit of $6 million, immediately infuses the Devils with some needed offensive pep. Rebuilding under general manager Ray Shero, New Jersey was the lowest scoring team in the league last season, though the team did boast

Two people familiar with the decision have confirmed to The Associated Press that Lightning captain Steven Stamkos is staying put in Tampa Bay. The people spoke on the condition of anonymity yesterday because the Lightning have not announced the decision.

Details of the contract weren’t immediately available. The agreement was reached two days before the 26-year-old Stamkos had the opportunity to test free agency, where he was expected to command lucrative offers from numerous bidders, including the Toronto

Maple Leafs, Buffalo Sabres and Detroit Red Wings. Instead, the two-time NHL scoring champ chose to stay with the franchise that selected him No. 1 in the 2008 draft. TSN.com first reported Stamkos’ decision. — The Associated Press

Obituaries & In Memoriam Ross Allan Giles It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Ross Giles on April 28th, 2016 with his loving wife and soulmate by his side. Ross fought his illness with dignity for many years and somehow maintained his great sense of humor until the very end. He is survived by Catherine his wife of 40 years, his two children Tannis (Nick) Scott and Lloyd (Jolene) Giles. His memory will be treasured by his six grandchildren Monique, Marissa, Colby, Aeverie, Mayson and Amelia. They all brought such joy to Ross’s life and he enjoyed every minute with all of them. He is also survived by his brother Johnny and sister Mary. Ross was born September 2, 1949 in Cayuga, Ontario. He moved to BC in 1969 and worked a few mines before he got on with Lornex which later became part of Highland Valley Copper. He eventually became a supervisor in the mill and he was with the company for 42 years. Ross loved his job and his family. He had a soft quiet personality and a great sense of humor which will be missed by all his family and friends. A Celebration of Life is planned for Saturday, July 9th , 2016 at the North Shore Community Center, 730 Cottonwood Ave., Dogwood Room, Kamloops at 1:00 pm. Please bring your own lawn chair. No flowers please, if you wish you may certainly donate to your favorite charity in his name. Ross always encouraged assistance for those that are less fortunate.

June 6, 1924 - January 14, 2016

It was with heavy hearts we said goodbye to our dear Dad, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend at the age of 91. Ollie was born to Lily Mason Coster and Oliver Coster on Robbins Range, where he spent his childhood with his sister Olive. Oliver was predeceased by his loving wife of 45 years Eleanor (nee Harrison). He will be fondly missed by his dear friend Alma Jaeger. Also surviving is Eleanor’s brother Hale Conwright. He is survived by his eight children, eighteen grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Oliver served in World War II and landed on Juno Beach on D. Day. He received the rank of Knight of the National Order of the Legion of Honour from the Government of France. While working for the Highways Department, he met Eleanor and they were married on Valentine’s Day in 1948. They had a sawmill on Robbins Range while their family grew. Ollie worked for the CN Railroad, Fisher Brothers and later for the Dept. of Highway as a mechanic. Growing up during the depression Ollie learned the art of frugality and developed the talent of building “something out of nothing.” A talent he passed onto his offspring. Much of his time was spent helping others particularly with automobiles and teaching this craft to young ones --- an ability they all treasure. Spending time outdoors was a very important aspect of his life: traveling, visiting family and friends, hunting, gathering huge loads of firewood and enjoying the cabin at Niskonlith Lake. A Celebration of Ollie’s Life will be held on July 30th, 2016 at Desert Gardens Community Centre, 540 Seymour Street, Kamloops, BC. Please join us from 2:00 pm until 5:00 pm for refreshments and to celebrate Oliver’s long and full life.

EACH LOSS Each loss is very different, The pain is so severe. Will I ever stop missing This one I loved so dear? Good times we had together, The moments that we shared We didn’t have to tell each other How much we really cared. I never dreamed you’d go away, Never thought of sorrow. So sure you’d always be here Took for granted each tomorrow. Now my life is all confused Since you went away. You took a part of me And for help I daily pray. But when God sent you to me He never said that you were mine, That I could keep you always – Only borrowed for a time. Now, He’s called you home, I’m sad and I shed tears. Yet I’m glad He loaned you to me And we had these many years.

Do you know someone that has been touched by Identity Theft? Many people are not aware that Identity Theft can occur even after death. It can be expensive and time consuming for the executor. Government agencies (CPP and OAS are cancelled) and credit reporting agencies (credit cards and loans) are notified to make sure nothing new is issued in the deceased’s name. Call us for more details.

Her Journey’s Just Begun by E. Brenneman

Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun. Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away. And think of her as living, In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much.
