Ashley Mangan makes a highlight-reel catch during the final weekend of Kamloops Minor Baseball Association’s Challenger Program. Children with cognitive or physical disabilities learn the thrill of playing the game and being part of a team, while developing physical and social skills. Many Saturday sessions included mentorship from other KMBA players. To see more photos from the season’s wrap-up session, turn to page A11.
A Kamloops man accused of beating a teen with a baseball bat during a confrontation near his Brocklehurst home last month will remain behind bars until at least next week. Kristopher Teichrieb is charged with attempted murder in connection to the assault of 18-year-old Jessie Simpson, who has been on life support since being beaten in the earlymorning hours of June 19. Teichrieb, 39, was arrested a short time after the incident and has been in custody since. He appeared briefly by video in Kamloops provincial court yesterday as lawyers discussed plans for a potential bail hearing. Lawyers will meet on Thursday to set a date for the hearing, which is expected to take place sometime next week. At a previous hearing, defence lawyer Jeremy Jensen suggested the charge against Teichrieb could be upgraded if Simpson succumbs to his injuries. Teichrieb 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. Simpson’s friends and family have said he was beaten with a baseball bat after being confronted by Teichrieb. Police initially said Teichrieb had confronted someone in the driveway of his Clifford Avenue home. In posts on social media, Simpson’s

friends and family have said he was in Brocklehurst for a graduation party and was trying to find a friend’s house when the altercation took place. At a candlelight vigil on June 26, Simpson’s aunt described his condition as “grave” and said it had not changed since he was admitted to Royal Inland Hospital. Police have said Simpson has not been able to verbalize anything to investigators. It is unclear if Mounties know why Simpson was on Teichrieb’s property, if he indeed was. The altercation took place on Holt Street. Teichrieb’s home is on nearby Clifford Avenue. Teichrieb is a father of three with no criminal record and the owner of two construction firms. Simpson lives in Savona and was graduating from South Kamloops secondary this year.

Kamloops last month received only 40 per cent of its normal June rainfall in what is typically the wettest month of the year in the Interior. Environment Canada recorded 17.7 millimetres of rain in June at Kamloops Airport, down from the 37-millimetre norm. It was the 20th-driest June in more than a century of records. Meteorologist Lisa Coldwells said a hot spell early in the month contributed to a slightly warmer than normal June. An all-time temperature record for the month was set on June 5, when the mercury climbed to 35.6 C. The average June temperature was 19.2 C, compared to the 18.4 C norm. The slightly warmer and drier pattern in June was caused by the El Nino weather phenomenon that has now dissipated in the region. “It’s not a player any more in our temperatures,” Coldwells said, noting July will produce more normal weather data. The average rainfall for July is 31 millimetres. Through Sunday, 1.6 millimetres of rain had fallen, though that total will have increased due to steady rain yesterday. Showers are also forecast for the rest of the week.

Master key leads to fines TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops motel manager who drunkenly tried to use his master key to get into the room of a sleeping woman has been ordered to pay more than $600 in fines. Jagwinder Sandhu pleaded guilty in Kamloops provincial court yesterday to one count of breaching a court order stemming from an incident in April at his workplace, the Econo Lodge Inn & Suites in Valleyview. Court heard the 38-yearold was on probation with
a term barring him from consuming alcohol following a drunk-driving conviction in March. Just after midnight on April 29, a guest at the Econo Lodge called police to say a drunk motel employee had been attempting to “use his pass” to get into her room. The woman had her door chained shut from the inside, so he was unable to get in. Crown prosecutor Oliver Potestio said officers arrived and found a “grossly intoxicated” Sandhu manning the motel.
“He was unable to walk without using a wall to hold himself up,” Potestio said. “His speech was unintelligible.” Sandhu was initially arrested for mischief. When investigators determined Sandhu was on a no-alcohol condition, he was arrested for breach. Court records show Sandhu has not been charged with mischief. Kamloops provincial court Judge Chris Cleaveley ordered Sandhu to pay a $500 fine and a $150 surcharge.
The province’s health minister expects to see an initiative being tested in some communities expand in coming months — one that will give patients more direct access to their own health information. Terry Lake said the new tool, MyHealthPortal, would provide patients with secure access to lab results, X-rays, scans, their own medical history and some medical appointments. The Interior Health Authority is the first in B.C. to launch the portal, which only provides health information collected from IHA facilities. It’s being tested at the Shuswap Lake General Hospital in Salmon Arm and is available for all patients over the age of 16. Lake said the tool helps empower patients and make them feel more like an active participant in their health care. He said he has discussed the tool with the province’s privacy commissioner. Those talks focused on who owns the medical data. “Patients feel they should own that information and they don’t,” Lake said. “This gives them access to it.” IHA board chairman Erwin Malzer said “increasing patient involvement in their care by having access to their own information is a key goal. Digital health will help patients make decisions, allowing them to ask more informed questions of their health-care providers and move to more of a partnership model.” Patient Voices Network (PVN) volunteer Diane Edlund said the portal will help put information into the hands of patients. “This will help patients be more proactive in looking after their health — an important element of patient empowerment, which leads to better health outcomes,” she said. “For example, having access to information from emergency room visits ensures information flows through transitions in care. This can reduce the need for follow-up emergency visits for test results.” PVN was created in 2009 by the health ministry to allow people to give ideas to health-care providers and administrators. Anyone living in the province can join it. Ultimately, Lake said, the portal could be used for some interactions between doctors and patients, including some consultations. He is hopeful a new clinic staffed by a team of various medical professionals will be in place on the North Shore by the fall. The IHA is looking for an appropriate place to base the service, one that is close to transportation and also has adequate parking. Calling it a primary-care home, Lake said patients would not be assigned to specific doctors. Their care would be provided by team members, who would share the information with each other to ensure continuation of appropriate care.

Dial-a-doper gets prison time ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops drug dealer will spend another year behind bars following a sentencing in B.C. Supreme Court. Dustin Sigouin, who pleaded guilty to three counts of trafficking in a controlled substance (methamphetamine), has been sentenced to two years less a day and two years of probation. Minus time served while awaiting sentencing, the 42-yearold will remain behind bars for a bit more than a year. Sigouin became the subject of an RCMP investigation in 2015 after he was introduced to undercover Mounties investigating a dial-a-dope operation. Sigouin was said to be the mid-level supplier of the operation, which police had been investigating since 2014. The first of three charges stems from a Jan. 8, 2015, deal, when undercover officers arranged to meet Sigouin and one of his street-level dealers at the Star Lodge at 775 Columbia St. W. Officers bought 1.5 ounces of methamphetamine from Sigouin for $2,000. Subsequent purchases on Jan. 9 and Jan. 15 of 2015 resulted in the sale of more than 42 grams at a price of $2,800. At the time of the deals, court heard Sigouin boasted to Mounties he and his girlfriend were selling between 20 and 25 ounces of methamphetamine a week, supplied from the Lower Mainland
after his local cook had been busted by Mounties. In his submission to court, Crown prosecutor Matt Wheeler asked for a sentence of 30 months, noting Sigouin’s criminal record as a significant aggravating factor. Sigouin has roughly 90 previous offences, including a dozen entries for drug-related charges, 21 convictions for failing to abide by court orders and an aggravated assault conviction for which he served three years. Kamloops RCMP has designated him a prolific offender. Wheeler said the nature of the substance Sigouin was dealing, as well as the amounts — which were larger than what would be deemed personal use — were also aggravating factors. The Crown said the offence was mitigated by the fact Sigouin was a drug addict at the time, but noted he was functioning to the degree needed to operate a drug ring. Defence attorney Eric Rines requested a prison sentence of 12 months minus time served and probation of two years. He said Sigouin asked for lengthy probation in hopes its terms would help him get back on track. Between 2010 and 2013, Rines said, Sigouin had some success in trying to get his life together after entering a methadone program. He subsequently relapsed when he stopped using methadone.
Justice Peter Rogers questioned the defence’s submission and said Sigouin stood to serve a more significant sentence, considering his history of breaching court conditions. In the lead-up to his sentencing alone, Sigouin breached three court orders. “Mr. Sigouin’s history of complying with court orders is not inspiring,” Rogers said. An emotional Sigouin pleaded his case to Rogers before the justice ruled. “I would just like to apologize for my life as an addict,” he said. In his decision, Rogers agreed Sigouin was trafficking in amounts that qualified as wholesale, but said it was at the lower end of that scale. He added that, while Sigouin has had his struggles and has been a drug addict since his teenage years, the threeyear stint from 2010 to 2013 shows the prospect of rehabilitation is not without hope. “Mr. Sigouin acknowledges his life has not been an untrammelled success thus far,” Rogers said, adding that while Sigouin’s criminal record is “not enviable,” it would be “equally wrong to dismiss all hope for rehab.” Sigouin’s probation will include a host of conditions. He will also be subject to a lifetime firearms ban and must submit a sample of his DNA to a national database.

Mail will be delivered at least to end of week CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Posties will continue delivering the mail until at least the end of the week as the two sides continue contract bargaining. The Crown corporation and Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPW) exchanged proposals over the weekend with little sign of progress. But a widely expected lockout or strike notice was not served. “Everyone was glad to go to work today,” said Lara Plummer, president of the CUPW local in Kamloops. “We’re taking one day at a time and waiting for Canada Post.” Canada Post said the union’s weekend proposal would add $1 billion to its costs.
Last year, posties delivered 1.6-billion fewer pieces of mail than a decade ago. It said the weekend offer, which offers wage increases and no changes to the pension for current employees, is final. The Crown corporation continues to insist on eliminating the defined benefit pension plan for new hires, something that would gradually relieve it of costs in the decades to come. Current employees’ pensions would be unaffected, it said. It said the union has ignored the pension issue. “It’s more about cutbacks,” Plummer said. “Canada Post is very profitable. We don’t know why the have to roll back those benefits.” The Crown corporation said it is facing a $6-billion deficit in its ability to fund worker pensions.
Any job action by the union or corporation requires 72-hour strike notice. Canada Post said in the event of a full work disruption, it will not operate. Mail and parcels will not be delivered and no new items will be accepted. However, the Canada Revenue Agency has deemed Old Age Security, Canada Pension Plan, Working Income Tax Benefit and the Canada Child Benefit cheques “essential’’ — even during a labour disruption. Spokesman Jon Hamilton said Canada Post has a memorandum of agreement with the union “where the federal socio-economic cheques will be delivered. “In the event of a work disruption, we would arrange delivery one day of the month,’’ he said.

Dangerous offender denied parole DENNIS BRAGG HAS RECORD OF VIOLENT RAPES CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Parole Board of Canada has denied release to a dangerous offender who sexually assaulted a pregnant and mentally challenged prostitute in a remote area outside Kamloops seven years ago. Dennis Bragg, 50, applied for either day or full parole. He is classified as a dangerous offender, serving an indeterminate sentence beginning in 2013. He has a record of violent rapes dating from 1993 against his wife, an acquaintance, a stranger and the sex-trade worker. Bragg’s release was opposed by his case management team with the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC). “According to file information, you do not accept responsibility for the index offence and the CSC reports that you take limited responsibility for your previous offending,” said the report from the parole board. “The CSC is not supportive of day or full parole at this time and does not believe your risk is manageable in the community.” Bragg has completed courses for sexual
offenders while in jail. The report released by the parole board highlights a number of psychological reports that indicate Bragg is at a high-risk of reoffending. He was first convicted for sexually assaulting his wife a number of times beginning 1993. Two years later, an acquaintance hired Bragg to do renovations on his home. When he was away, Bragg slipped into his girlfriend’s bed and tried to sexually assault her. He also assaulted his friend. Bragg was given a 34-month sentence and released in 2000. Soon afterwards, he was convicted of impaired driving and drug possession on two separate occasions. Two years later, Bragg was convicted of assault causing bodily harm and sexual assault. He tied up a woman for several days and sexually assaulted her. She suffered bruises and lacerations on every part of her body. After being released in 2008, Bragg moved to Kamloops. One year later, he sexually assaulted the young prostitute, who had limited mental ability and was addicted to crack cocaine. She testified in court that she feared for her life. The board ruled Bragg’s continued confinement in jail does not breach his Charter rights.

Y MAKES IT EASY TO GET KIDS ACTIVE
C
anadian kids are spending too much time in front of screens and are not getting enough exercise. Now we can officially add not getting enough sleep to the worrying list of bad lifestyle habits. The 2016 ParticipACTION Report Card found 31 per cent of school-aged children and 26 per cent of adolescents are sleepdeprived. On top of that, in a finding that should be a surprise to nobody, only nine per cent of children get enough physical activity each day and only 24 per cent spend two hours a day or less in front of a screen — everyone else spends more, sometimes a lot more. All of the above is also true of a large and growing proportion of adults in Canadian society. We spend too much time sitting. We spend too much time in front of the computer and the television. We don’t exercise enough. We are, as a population, getting fatter and sicker. It’s the trickle-down effect in an extremely undesirable area. Our kids mimic the lives that we’re living. The good news is that it’s well within our power to change to a healthier lifestyle and benefit the entire family. Spend family time running around outdoors doing a physical activity everyone loves, rather than everyone disappearing into their own electronic devices. It may be a way to keep the kids quiet and somewhere you can easily monitor them, but sitting them down in front of a screen for hours on end while you get chores done is also dooming them to ill-health. If you need a hand getting your kids moving, the Kamloops Y has an offer you shouldn’t refuse — free teen memberships through July and August. With a pool, weights, cardio machines and enough classes to work every muscle in the body, getting healthy is indeed affordable through the summer.

A five-point plan for Ajax
T
he proposed Ajax mine is the most important issue facing our city and we need to get past the destructive deadlock that seems to be hopelessly dividing our community. I believe I have a new approach that could help get us out of this hard place. In my opinion, KGHM’s mine might be acceptable to the City of Kamloops if it could meet conditions as stringent as those required by the province for approval of the Northern Gateway pipeline. The province has created a good model by establishing conditions for acceptance of the Northern Gateway project and I have used it as a basis to come up with five conditions for Ajax and urban mining in B.C. that could possibly satisfy Ajax opponents and proponents alike. I have drafted a resolution that I will submit for review by council after a thorough community discussion, asking Ottawa and Victoria to make approval and operation of the mine contingent on these conditions, which are challenging, but are fair and reasonable. A key condition would see mining compliance and enforcement taken out of the Ministry of Energy and Mines and given to a new, independent authority with greater powers and capacity to monitor and halt mining should it prove to be harmful. In May, the B.C. auditor general released a 106-page report that slammed the Ministry of Energy and Mines and the Ministry of Environment for failing in their compliance and enforcement mandates. “We concluded that the Ministry of Energy and Mines’ compliance and enforcement

CITY HALL activities of the mining sector are inadequate to protect the province from significant environmental risks,” wrote auditor-general Carol Bellringer in the audit. Here is my full resolution, which, hopefully, will be supported by Kamloops council, our two MLAs and our community: Following an extensive review and analysis of the massive KGHM/Ajax mine proposal at the edge of the Kamloops city boundaries, the City of Kamloops has arrived at five principles that must be addressed if it is to give acceptance to the proposed development of KGHM/Ajax Mine: 1) Formal acceptance of the KGHM/Ajax mine development by Stk’emlupsemc te Secwepemc Nation (Tk’emlups and Skeetchestn Indian Bands), which has land claims on the area of the mine. 2) Successful completion of the formal environmental review and permitting processes, with a clear commitment that there will be “zero harm” to the health of Kamloops and area residents and the environment, as has been promised by the mine officials. 3) World-leading compliance and enforcement practices for strict enforcement of zero-harm
mining practices, to be enforced by a newly formed agency independent of, but with jurisdiction over, the Ministry of Mines and the Ministry of Environment. This new agency shall have the authority to issue incentive-based large fines and to order a permanent halt or reduction of mining operations if it becomes clear mining practices are damaging to health and/or the environment, including the livability of residents in nearby neighbourhoods. 4) An ongoing joint review panel be established with representatives from KGHM Ajax, the Ministry of Mines, the Ministry of Environment, relevant First Nations and the City of Kamloops. It will monitor data from five new city-wide live monitoring stations provided by the operator and assess reports of mining practices that may be damaging to health and/or the environment. It will forward them as appropriate to the newly formed enforcement agency and release them to the public at the same time. 5) City of Kamloops shall receive a fair share of financial compensation. There shall also be a substantial reclamation bond in place and the establishment of a robust and functional property-compensation program and economic benefits from KGHM/Ajax, including provincial and federal governments, that reflects the risk borne by City of Kamloops residents. The proposed mine is an extremely divisive issue in our community and we need to get it right before presenting to city council for adoption. Given the potential for this project to create certain risks and adverse effects, setting firm conditions is the right thing to do. dwalsh@kamloops.ca

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
GET GOVERNMENT OUT OF HEALTH CARE Editor: The July 1 letter from Dr. Dennis Karpiak (‘Bloated bureaucracy killing health care’) really says it all. Government efficiency is truly an oxymoron, particularly when it comes to health care. Like a noxious weed, it invades every nook and cranny, virtually stifling caregivers into inertia. Health care by crisis is not very comforting. I learned recently (in stunned awe) that the specialist I was referred to won’t get around to ordering the required tests for six months. With the additional long waits to have tests done, plus the follow up, plus the time required to remedy the problem, an issue that should be resolved within one or two months at most will take up to two years under our
current system. I could be in crisis or dead by then. I have no quarrel with health providers. They do their utmost for patients within a ridiculously bureaucratic system. It does not surprise me that so many physicians choose not to practise in this city (or even in this province or country). If I were a physician, I would resent having to become one more civil servant with all the bureaucratic trappings that come with it. Like Karpiak, I remember the old days when you could actually choose your family doctor, get needed tests on time and get a hospital bed when you needed one. Yes, we paid for our hospital stays, as well we should, and for doctors’ appointments, too,
if we did not have health insurance. I trusted the system then and knew I would get the care I needed in a timely manner. Today, every step within the existing system is an endurance test. I believe what is needed is a dual private/ public health system that would provide doctors with some incentive to settle and practise here, as well as meet the needs of the community. The government should be involved as little as possible because, like ICBC, it primarily exists to feed itself — and the public wellbeing suffers as a consequence. M. MacLeod Kamloops
AND AFTER CATS, WE WILL LICENSE ALL THE CITY’S CHILDREN Editor: Re: Judy Kaye’s letter of June 28 (‘Kamloops needs a cat bylaw’): I agree with Kaye and think the city should do more to alleviate the mass destruction of property caused by these creatures. However, I think the city
should take it a step further. Squirrels and small rodents could be licensed as to prevent the free range they have over my neighbourhood. Small children should also be licensed as they are allowed to roam the streets carelessly and,
sometimes, on to my lawn. I have noticed renters tend to have small children who are often left behind when tenants leave. Perhaps the city could also take a look at regulating barbecues. Sometimes the smell can waft over onto my property, which
makes me hungry, causing me inconvenience as I then have to get up to make food. I hope the city takes note of these issues and can do more to help the citizens of Kamloops. Ryan Cliff Kamloops
CARE AT ROYAL INLAND HOSPITAL WAS AMAZING Editor: This letter is addressed to all staff at Royal Inland Hospital, particularly doctors, nurses and therapists. My father recently broke his neck in Merritt and he was transferred to Royal Inland. This was not his first visit to the hospital in Kamloops, but it is the first time I have written to commend the hospital for the amazing sevice it
provides its patients and their families. Staff was courteous, kind, helpful, compassionate, efficient, patient and more to my father and his care and to me while trying to help my dad. Thank you so very much for all the help. It was greatly appreciated and a tremendous assistance. Kim Senko Chilliwack

BIG
OF THE MONTH!
Roxanne Marshall
How and why did you become involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters? I got involved with BBBS because I wanted to give back to the community. I wanted to develop a lasting relationship with a young girl and be an additional positive female influence in her life. Also, I wanted an excuse to get to do fun things and act like a kid again. It was easy to get involved I just had to initiate the process and fill in the paperwork. I had to do the required safety checks and interviews, which were not stressful or intimidating. What do you enjoy about the Big Sister Program? I enjoy that I get to see my Little Sister weekly and that we usually try to do something fun outside. I enjoy all the laughs we share and all the memories we are making together. I also enjoy that there is flexibility in when we see each other. How often do you see your Little? We see each other every week, unless I am out of town or my Little Sister is out of town. We usually spend between 2-4 hours together. How is this relationship fitting into your life? This relationship is fitting in nicely with my life. I am thoroughly enjoying it. Who would you recommend this program to? Someone that has 2-4 hours a week to dedicate towards acting like a kid again. Of course you need to like children. It is really such a fun program and I feel that I have benefitted from this program in many ways. How has your Little benefited from the program? My Little Sister has had the opportunity to do some activities she hasn’t experienced before (rock climbing, planting flowers from seed, and tasting different foods). Mostly I feel I have benefited from this program I didn’t realize how much I would like teaching my Little Sister and exposing her to new things. This program has been great and I am enjoying my time with my Little Sister. Why do you think that someone should volunteer in this program? I really feel like this program isn’t the normal “volunteering”, I don’t feel like I am volunteering. I know that I am making a real connection with my Little Sister and that we are developing a relationship that we both want to continue long-term. I believe if someone is thinking about what they could do to give back and potentially make a difference in a young child’s life they should seriously consider BBBS.

Don’t get hooked by scams Kamloops Mounties are receiving more complaints from residents about fraudulent emails that look like legitimate banking/business requests for personal information. Such emails are known as phishing, which is the creation of email message and web pages that are replicas of existing, legitimate sites and businesses. These web sites and emails are used to trick victims into submitting personal, financial or password data. The emails often ask for information such as credit card numbers, bank account information, social insurance numbers, and passwords that will be used to commit fraud.
Within a phishing email, you may be asked to click on a link that takes you to a fraudulent site or pop-up window where you are asked to submit personal and financial information. Criminals using phishing have also been known to use replicas of bank logos. They will sometimes ask you to click on a link and re-enter your personal information, including creditcard and bank-account numbers. Sometimes they say they have “detected fraudulent activity” in your banking account and have “frozen” your account to prevent further activity. Then they say they will only remove restric-
tions on your bank account when you supply them with personal and banking information. How to protect yourself: • Do not reply to any email that requests your personal information. • Contact the business or financial institution immediately and report your suspicions. • Do not click on any attachments; they can contain viruses and spyware. • If you are unsure of the authenticity of an email, delete it. • Contact the Canadian AntiFraud Agency by phone at 1-888-495-8501 or online at antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca.
Summer road work continues Beginning this week, Summit Drive becomes the city’s latest street to go under the knife. BA Dawson Blacktop will work in two spots along the Sahali route. At the Summit and McGill Road intersection, workers will make some turning-lane adjustments. From the intersection of Summit at Columbia Street West to the entrance to the Summit Shopping Centre, crews will install a sidewalk on the south side of the street. Work will take place Mondays to Fridays from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., though some night and weekend
work is possible. At least one lane in each direction will stay open during work on the project and pedestrians will have a safe route through the construction. Work is expected to continue through Aug. 31. Meanwhile, work to resurface Tranquille Road between Eighth and 13th streets will continue through mid-August. The project includes manhole-cover replacement and some sidewalk repairs. A minimum of two lanes of traffic (one lane in each direction) will remain open.

More resources needed to fight online child exploitation: internal federal memo JIM BRONKSKILL
THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Canadian police lack the resources to keep pace with the burgeoning threat to children from online sexual predators, federal officials have warned the public safety minister. An internal briefing note to Ralph Goodale says digital child pornography poses increasing challenges for criminal justice agencies. The problem is fuelled by the growth of technology allowing online anonymity, new legal hurdles for police and easier travel to places where children can be abused and photographed, the note says. The Canadian Press obtained a copy of the February memo under the Access to Information Act. It says although data
is limited, some believe online child sexual exploitation has reached “a level of epidemic proportions’’ that if left largely unaddressed will have devastating consequences for generations of children in Canada and abroad. “It is therefore essential that the government work with partners and stakeholders to gain a thorough understanding of all the challenges and identify what is needed to tackle this significant threat.’’ The memo cites the case of British Columbia teenager Amanda Todd, who committed suicide after being sexually extorted online. The investigation led police to a man in the Netherlands accused of using more than 90 screen names to target over 75 victims. Criminal justice statistics show incidents of
child pornography and sexual violence against children increased in 2014 over the previous year despite an overall drop in the rate of violent crime. Cybertip.ca, a national tipline to report suspected online sexual abuse of children, has also seen a rise in reporting — including increases with respect to the severity of the acts and images of very young children, the memo adds. It outlines the many initiatives to target offenders, noting Canada has shown leadership in devising a national strategy, enacting criminal laws and supporting global efforts. The RCMP is one of the very few Canadian police agencies dedicating resources to develop solutions and sustain undercover operations
targeting technologically sophisticated offenders, the memo notes. “Current resources, however, cannot keep pace with the changing scope of the issue.’’ Pornographers are using digital techniques to shield their identities and communications as they distribute illicit images around the globe. In addition, the Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that police need judicial authorization to obtain subscriber data linked to online activities. Civil libertarians applauded the Supreme Court ruling amid public concern about authorities gaining access to customer information with little evident scrutiny or oversight. Even so, the memo says the new restriction is “causing investiga-
tive delays and, in some instances, results in cases being abandoned because thresholds for judicial orders cannot be met.’’ The government is constantly updating its policies and tools because of ever-changing technologies, said Scott Bardsley, a spokesman for Goodale. “Public Safety, the RCMP, academics and others continue to study these complicated questions,’’ he said. “We are committed to keeping Canadians safe while respecting their rights and freedoms.’’ In addition, the government is conducting a broad review to assess whether the RCMP has sufficient resources to carry out its mandate, he noted. “We look forward to the findings of that review.’’
Whale entangled in fishing gear off East Coast ADINA BRESGE
THE CANADIAN PRESS
NEWFOUNDLAND — A large whale has become tangled in fishing gear off southeast Newfoundland, raising fears it will die before it can shed the equipment or rescuers can remove it. “This is what we call heavy fishing gear, it’s heavy rope, strong rope,’’ said Wayne Ledwell of the Whale Release and Strandings group in Portugal Cove, St. Philip’s, N.L. “If it doesn’t shed the gear or if we don’t take the gear off, then it could probably die ... (from the) stress and energy that it needs to carry around
all this fishing gear, and not be able to feed properly and get into areas where it needs to feed.’’ Ledwell said a tour boat spotted the whale, believed to be a humpback, at Witless Bay on the southern Avalon peninsula Saturday, carrying rope possibly through its mouth or fin, and a snow crab pot buoy. His group responded to the area but couldn’t find it. “We had a large search pattern and didn’t see it. Ideally it would show up in a cove somewhere that’s protected from wind and people would let us know and then hopefully we can do something about it,’’ he said. “I
know from the picture there’s quite a large amount of fishing gear underneath his body that it’s towing.’’ Ledwell said boaters should stay away from the whale and not try to disentangle it, because they might remove a highly visible buoy but not all the equipment, making it difficult to spot and fully rescue. Also, he said, it’s dangerous to the boaters. “The risk is, if boaters see a whale, their propeller or their engine could get caught in that rope, and especially in smaller-type boats, that would be pretty much disastrous because the whale could just tow the boat under.
“It could easily do that.’’ According to a Marine Mammal Science report, around 1,200 large whales were found entangled in gear between 1979 and 2008, the vast majority of them humpbacks. Ledwell, who contributed to the study, said his group gets a few dozen calls a year — sometimes they find it and rescue it, and sometimes they don’t. “When the whale is towing gear it can go anywhere and they got fins and a tail and the ocean is big so we may not see them again for a while,’’ he said. “Hopefully if someone sees it again they’ll let us know.’’

Judge to apologize for comments THE CANADIAN PRESS
CALGARY — A Federal Court judge who asked a sexual assault complainant why she couldn’t keep her knees together wants to keep serving on the bench and plans to apologize for his remarks at a public hearing. A Canadian Judicial Council inquiry scheduled for September is to determine whether Justice Robin Camp, who made the comments in 2014 as a provincial court judge in Calgary, should be removed from his job. A notice of response outlining Camp’s position was posted to the council’s website on Monday. “Justice Camp wants to continue serving as a judge,’’ it says. “He believes he can make a positive contribution as a member of the Canadian judiciary. He will strive to keep improving and to

keep learning.’’ The notice says Camp plans to apologize at the inquiry committee meeting. Camp has undergone training and counselling with a superior court judge, a psychologist and an expert in sexual assault law. “His counselling has given him a deeper understanding of the trauma faced by survivors of sexual assault and about the discriminatory history of sexual assault law,’’ the response says. “Justice Camp understands his insensitive and inappropriate comments were hurtful towards sexual assault survivors in particular and Canadians generally. He will not make these types of comments again.’’ The notice does not represent a review of evidence supporting Camp’s position. An inquiry committee made up of three council members and
two senior lawyers will weigh the allegations against Camp. Among other things, it’s alleged Camp made comments that “reflected an antipathy’’ toward laws meant to protect vulnerable witnesses, engaged in “stereotypical or biased thinking’’ and asked the complainant questions that relied on “discredited, stereotypical assumptions’’ of how one should behave following a sexual assault. The council had already ordered a review panel to examine the judge’s decision in the 2014 case. Camp acquitted a man of sexually assaulting a 19-year-old girl after deciding that the man’s version of events was more credible. Court transcripts show Camp questioned the woman’s morals, suggested her attempts to fight off her attacker were feeble and described her as “the accused’’ throughout
the trial. He asked her: “Why couldn’t you just keep your knees together?’’ and said “pain and sex sometimes go together.’’ The verdict was overturned on appeal and a new trial was ordered. In requesting the inquiry earlier this year, Alberta Justice Minister Kathleen Ganley wrote that Camp’s conduct “was so manifestly and profoundly destructive of the concept of impartiality, integrity and independence of the judicial role that public confidence has been sufficiently undermined to render Justice Camp incapable of executing his judicial office.’’ Ganley added it would be “truly unfortunate’’ if Camp’s widely publicized comments resulted in a “chilling effect on victims of sexual abuse, making them hesitant to come forward.’’ The Federal Court has ordered Camp to no longer hear cases until further notice.

Musical pioneer CHARITY Tab ShoriGOLF lives on 8TH ANNUAL
DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
M
usic was everything to Tab Shori. Sure, there were a few years — from 14 into his 20s — when the music stopped. But, even when he was living the cowboy life as a wrangler at an Ashcroft ranch, music still called to him every weekend, as he made his way into Kamloops and his Tab’s Cabida at 317 Tranquille Rd. And it’s why he’s being inducted posthumously into the B.C. Entertainment Hall of Fame as one of the province’s musical pioneers, a list he shares this year with George Calangis, Sharman King, Tom Lavin, Ian McDougall and Linda McRae, people honoured for leaving an indelible
mark on the province’s entertainment landscape. The StarWalk inductees include Michael J. Fox, Marcus Mosely, Hal Beckett, Jazzy B and Joe Keithley. Along his musical journey, Shori opened for Ike and Tina Turner, was asked to tour with Chubby Checker and saw two of his singles hit the charts. It began with a violin, said Shori’s sister, Sylvia Mahal. All of the Shori children had to learn an instrument or dance style, she said — hers was highland dancing while another sister opted for Hawaiian dancing — and Tab was gifted with the instrument but eventually picked up a guitar and his destiny was set. It was another iconic musician who brought it back to life for Shori after he stopped playing in his teens. The spark was lit again when he was watching The Ed Sullivan Show and saw Elvis

Venom begin TOJLL playoff drive MARTY HASTINGS

ll signs point toward a thrilling first-round matchup between the Kamloops Venom and South Okanagan Flames. Game 1 of the best-of-five Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League (TOJLL) semifinal series will be played tonight at Memorial Arena, with game time set for 7:30 p.m. “They’re better than they were last year,” said Brandon Pittman, the Venom’s general manager. “I’d say they’re the team to beat this year.” Kamloops (11-5) placed second in the five-team league and drew the third-seeded Flames (10-5-
GENERAL GRANTS
1) in Round 1, while the Vernon Tigers (13-2-1) won the regularseason title to secure a first-round series against the Armstrong Shamrocks (2-13-1), who snuck into the post-season on the back of a victory over the hometown Kelowna Raiders (2-13-1) in the last game on the TOJLL slate on Thursday. The Venom and Flames split their regular-season series 2-2, with each team holding serve on home court — Kamoops posting 18-8 and 13-6 victories at Memorial and South Okanagan winning 10-8 and 12-9 in Penticton. While the Venom will have the luxury of playing in their venerable Victoria Street barn, South Okanagan has been displaced, forced to play its home games in Oliver Arena due to hockey camps being held in the Peach City.
“They’ve got a great group of fans out there, so I’m sure they’ll get a few fans out to Oliver,” Pittman said. “They have about 50 fans who travel here for games.” Game 2 gets underway at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday in Oliver. South Okanagan had nine players who posted more than 20 points this season, including team leader Kaid MacLeod, who racked up an incredible 42 goals and 89 points in 11 games. Riley Peterson recorded a whopping 95 points, including 38 goals, in 13 games to lead Kamloops, and Kyle Pauwels was second in team scoring with 80 points, including 33 goals, in 12 games. Kamloops also had nine players who compiled more than 20 points. It was Pauwels who paced the Venom to victory over the Flames
in the teams’ first-round playoff series last year, with the Pfeiffer University field-lacrosse standout enjoying big games when it counted most. He racked up eight goals and led the Snakes to a 13-7 victory in the fifth-and-deciding game, following a five-goal performance in a 14-8 triumph in Game 4. The Venom went on to top the Tigers in the league final, another series that went the distance, with Kamloops pulling out a 15-14 victory on the road in Game 5. Vernon is expected to be waiting for the winner of the Kamloops-South Okanagan series in the championship showdown this year, but the Venom are not thinking that far ahead, said Pittman. The Tigers and Venom wrapped up the regular season last Wednesday with a game that
meant nothing in the standings. Hometown Vernon rallied from a 7-0 deficit in the first period to win 16-13. “We had a little hiccup in our last game of the year, but we had practice on Thursday and we have another practice tonight [Monday], so everything should be ironed out.” Pittman said. The Flames are looking to steal the TOJLL banner from the usual suspects. Vernon won the title in 2009, 2013 and 2014. Kamloops claimed the crown from 2010 to 2012 and in 2015. “It’s hard to dislike South Okanagan,” Pittman said. “They’re a hard-working, fast team and they’ve been playing together for longer than most of our guys have. “Vernon is our top rival. We don’t get along too well with Vernon.”

Reith earns national award ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
For David Reith, volunteering for the Kamloops Long Blades speedskating club has never been about the recognition. Still, more than 15 years of dedication to the Kamloops organization has netted him one of the most prestigious honours awarded by Speed Skating Canada. Reith, 55, was the recipient of the John Hurdis Outstanding Volunteer Award, an honour bestowed to members whose outstanding service as a volunteer within Speed Skating Canada has resulted in a significant contribution to the advancement of speedskating at the national or international level. The award recognized an online database created by Reith, which tracks the results of not only the Kamloops Long Blades, but every other speed-
skater in the province of British Columbia. Throughout the speedskating season, he has been known to spend between 20 and 40 hours every weekend, combing through competition results — World Cups, nationals, provincials as well as local-level meets — searching for B.C. skaters and manually inputting their results into long-track and short-track databases for the B.C. Speed Skating Association. “I don’t do it for the recognition,” Reith said, speaking to the award. “The reason I’m in it is because I enjoy giving back to the sport that has given so much to my kids and family. “I’ve always been that way. Whether it was for coaching or on the board or whatever — wherever I have a talent that I think they can use, I’m willing to put that forward to the benefit of the athletes, coaches, clubs, organi-
zations and speedskating.” Reith got his start with the Long Blades around the year 2000, when his three kids, formerly figure skaters, decided to check out speedskating. Since then, he has become one of the club’s most dedicated volunteers and is only the 15th person to win the award since Hurdis won the inaugural honour in 1982. For a time, he volunteered for both the Long Blades and for figure skating in Kamloops. And, despite a major car accident last year, his dedication hasn’t waned. T-boned outside of Calgary while visiting friends, friends said Reith is lucky to have survived the accident. He has since handed over some of his database duties — it takes two people to do what he once did on his own — but hasn’t been able to completely walk away from
what has become a labour of love. “It is very motivating,” Reith said of coming back to volunteer work after the crash. “When you have an accident such as the one I had, you want to get back to doing as much as you can that you used to be able to do. This is one of the things that I can do and it’s a benefit to everybody.” For its part, the Kamloops Long Blades speedskating club was ecstatic to hear of Reith’s award. Trish Archibald, the club’s former president and a current board member, described Reith as a generous, kind family man, with an obvious love for skating. “We’re thrilled. We think he deserves it,” Archibald said. “Even before his health was well, he was making sure stuff got done and was very concerned.”

LYON, France — When Portugal and Wales face off for a spot in the final of the European Championship, two players will be expected to rise far above the rest. Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale, club teammates at Real Madrid and the most expensive players in the history of the sport, will bear the hopes of their nations tomorrow at Stade de Lyon. Kickoff is slated for noon. None of the previous 48 matches played at Euro 2016 has pitted two players of such unequaled star status and undisputed importance to their teams. The stage, fittingly enough, could hardly be bigger. The winner will earn a spot in the July 10 final at Saint-Denis against either world champion Germany or tournament host France. “Two of the best players on the planet,’’ Wales coach Chris Coleman said. “I don’t suppose there will be any love lost on the evening. We know what’s at stake. Any friendship will have to wait until after the game.’’ Less than six weeks ago, Ronaldo and Bale joined in celebrations after winning a second Champions League trophy in their three seasons together at Real Madrid. Since moving to
Gareth Bale (left) and Cristiano Ronaldo are teammates when playing for Spanish club Real Madrid, but they will be foes tomorrow in what is expected to be an epic Euro 2016 clash.
Spain on a record (euro)100-million (then $132-million) transfer that broke Madrid’s own deal for Ronaldo, Bale has always played the role of deferential sidekick to the threetime world player of the year. The match in Lyon now offers Bale the perfect stage to challenge that hierarchy. A standout performance by one could even tip the Ballon d’Or vote in his favour. Bale arrives in better form than Ronaldo. The Wales winger is among the competition’s top scorers with three goals (only France’s Antoine Griezmann has more, with four), including two goals from free kicks. Bale’s unheralded team is also riding a huge high after the most important victory in its history, a 3-1 come-from-behind win to oust Belgium in the quarter-finals. Best of all for Coleman, his side roared back against the
Belgians without needing a goal from Bale. Captain Ashley Williams started the rally that Hal Robson-Kanu and Sam Vokes completed. It means Wales has taken the label of underdog fan favourite from Iceland after its fairytale run was ended by France on Sunday. That was the latest milestone for an ascendant Wales. Ranked outside the top 100 four years ago, Bale scored seven goals in qualifying to carry Wales into its first major competition since the 1958 World Cup. Once in France, it defied expectations by finishing ahead of neighbour England to win its group. It then topped that by becoming the first debutante to reach the semifinals since Sweden in 1992. And Wales has made its run in style, deploying one of the best attacks at the tournament. With Bale leading the way, it is second only to France with 10 goals scored and joins
the hosts as the only teams to have won four matches outright, not counting victories from penalty shootouts. Portugal, by contrast, has clawed its way into its fourth semifinal in the last five tournaments. Having squeezed into the last 16 after three draws at the group stage, it needed a victory in extra time against Croatia and then penalties to get past Poland. Across its five matches — and more than eight hours of football — Portugal has been in the lead for a total of only 22 minutes at Euro 2016. A big part of Portugal’s problems has been Ronaldo’s performances, which have been below his incredibly high standards. Ronaldo’s two goals against Hungary are his only two strikes in five matches at the tournament. While Bale leads all players with 13 shots on target, Ronaldo has the inglorious statistic of a competition-high 14 shots off the mark. “If Cristiano Ronaldo doesn’t score, it doesn’t mean he isn’t playing well and doing other things,’’ Portugal coach Fernando Santos said in defence of his forward. “Cristiano Ronaldo is an example as captain of this side. He’s doing a great job. He wants to win.’’ If Ronaldo does score, he will match Michel Platini’s record of nine goals at the European Championship.
Raonic erases two-set deficit in victory THE CANADIAN PRESS
LONDON — Canada’s Milos Raonic advanced to the quarterfinals at Wimbledon, coming back from two sets down yesterday to beat Belgian David Goffin 4-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4. The sixth-seeded Raonic recovered confidently after struggling early in the match and won after trailing by two sets for the first time in his career. Raonic went ahead in the match for the first time when he picked up a key break in the fifth game of the fifth set to go up 3-2. He held serve the rest
of the way and put the 11thseeded Belgian away on his first match-point opportunity. Goffin had trouble returning Raonic’s serve and the Canadian clinched the match with a confident forehand. Once again, Raonic’s dangerous serve was on display in the match that took three hours two minutes to complete. He fired 22 aces in the match, giving him 101 through four rounds at the All England Club. But unforced errors got Raonic in trouble early and continued to plague him throughout the match. He finished with 44. Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., will next face 28th-seed Sam
Querry of the United States, who downed France’s Nicolas Mahut 6-4, 7-6 (5), 6-4 in the fourth round to reach his first Grand Slam quarter-final. The match is scheduled for 2 a.m. tomorrow. Raonic and Querry have met three times, with the American holding a 2-1 edge. Querry also advanced past Raonic in a walkover at the 2013 Miami Masters. Raonic made the semifinals at Wimbedon in 2014 before losing to Roger Federer. The winner of the match between Raonic and Querry will face either third-seed Federer on ninth-seed Marin Cilic in the 2016 semifinals.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Happy Birthday
Steven Anthony Barnes July 6, 1989 - November 12, 2012
Lawrence Edward Zwarich April 20, 1960 - June 29, 2016
1973 – 2016
Larry, aged 56 years, lost his hard fought, five-year battle with cancer. On the morning of June 29, 2016, Larry passed away quietly in the tranquil surroundings of the Marjorie Willoughby Hospice at Kamloops with his sister Cheryl at his side and his parents and sister nearby. Larry was born April 20, 1960, at Kamloops and resided in Westsyde where he attended elementary and high school. He is lovingly remembered by his parents Norm and Pat Zwarich and his sisters (spouses) Cheryl (Jerry) Head and Jeannette (Mel Gorely) as well as his nephews Adam, Curtis and Zachary. He was predeceased by his sister Laurel. Linda O’Hara will cherish the close brother-sister relationship developed over many years with Larry: firstly, as neighbours, then as school mates and even across a continent. His cheerful, optimistic personality and “wicked” sense of humour will be missed by all who knew him. Larry was known for his fondness for preparing and eating good food. Appropriately, he worked for many years in the beverage and food services industry in a number of places, including Kamloops, Vancouver, Grand Cayman Island and Fort Lauderdale, FL. More recently, he practised as a massage therapist in Ft. Lauderdale. Most recently, Larry developed an interest in his native heritage; in particular his beadwork became a popular sale item at powwows at Kamloops, Little Shuswap, Neskonlith, Keremeos and Tsuu T’ina Nation near Calgary.
Today is your birthday In Heaven above Our blessings we send On the wing of this dove Not just for today But everyday hereof We think of you always With all of our love.
Always Loved, Forever Missed Your Family
When it became clear to Larry that time was of the essence, he arranged a barbecue so he could celebrate one last time with friends and relatives. In keeping with his wishes, there will be no service. At a future date, Larry’s cremains will be interred in Pleasant Valley Cemetery, Vernon, BC. Larry was attended by many excellent health practitioners including, to mention only two, his family physician Dr. McLaren and Linda Chrystall. The exceptional care at the Marjorie Willoughby Hospice was much appreciated. All have earned and deserve a most sincere thank you. For those wishing to honour Larry’s memory, a donation to a favourite charity would be most welcome. Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.myalternatives.ca

First Memorial Funeral Service
Irene Frances Kibble 1923 - 2016
Irene Kibble (nee Goulding) passed away at Royal Inland Hospital, Kamloops, BC, on June 28, 2016 at 92 years of age. Born in Holland, Manitoba, on August 3, 1923. Irene is survived by her sons John (Donna) Kibble and Donald (Mo) Kibble; daughter Patricia (Leo) Stroesser; foster son Colin (Margaret) Johnston; numerous grandchildren, great -grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. Irene was predeceased by her husband George Kibble of Kamloops, BC. Irene worked as a sales clerk at Woodward’s and at Hudson’s Bay Stores. She was involved in many community activities in the Lower North Thompson Valley, and in later years attended numerous activities at Ponderosa Lodge. She enjoyed tending her gardens in Aspen Park and holding huge family gatherings at Christmas time, birthdays and other occasions. We have good memories of Irene participating in N.T. Valley Fall Fair exhibits, and in later years she became a flea market maniac! Her hands were always busy knitting, harvesting canning or cooking. Irene’s most cherished times were vacationing in Hawaii with her husband George. After he passed in 1987, she continued this experience with many friends and later with her daughter Patricia. Irene made friends wherever she went. A gathering to Celebrate the Life of Irene Kibble will be held at the North Shore Community Centre, 730 Cottonwood Avenue, Kamloops, BC on Sunday, July 10, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. Coffee and tea will be provided. Interment in the family plot in Hillside Cemetery will take place at a later date. Online condolences may be sent to the family via DrakeCremation.com

Prayer For
Peace Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. When there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; Where there is sadness, joy. Grant that I may not so much Seek to be consoled, as to console; To be loved, as to love; For it is in the giving that we receive; And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
