they’re CO, in honour of him,” said Halliwell. Celebrations will begin tomorrow with the arrival at 10 a.m. of a CT155 Hawk aircraft painted to resemble a Second World War-era plane and the release of a book chronicling the squadron’s history, including its Kamloops connection. On Saturday, the squadron will celebrate its Freedom of the City with a parade beginning at 10:15 a.m. Moosemen will march to Kamloops City Hall, 7 West Victoria St., for speeches and a flyover of more Hawk jets before heading to

Royal Canadian Legion Branch 52. Freedom of the City is a special status granted to military groups that have a special relationship with a community, said Halliwell. The practice dates back to the English War of the Roses. The City of Kamloops granted Freedom of the City to the 419 in 1993. “They could march into town with their bayonets raised and their colours flying because they were trusted members of the city,” Halliwell said.

Posties in the city and region are preparing for the possibility of being off the job as early as tonight as Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) have failed to reach an agreement on a new contract. The last contract expired at the end of last year. Canada Post has issued 72-hour notice of lockout to union, which means employees could be off the job as of 9 p.m. tonight. “We have people working at the plant [on Dalhousie Drive] who could be ushered out at that time,” said Lara Plummer, president of the local CUPW. There are about 175 unionized workers in Kamloops, including mail carriers and workers in the sorting

plant. Another 15 or so are management employees. Canada Post claims union demands will increase its costs by $1 billion. It is seeking concessions, including a less generous pension for new workers and flexibility for workers on weekends due to competition from private couriers. The lockout notice is caused in part by what Canada Post said is a drastic slowdown in mail and parcel processing as a work stoppage nears and fears of trapped mail become closer. Union national president Mike Palecek said the looming job action “is brought to you by the people who wanted to take away home delivery. “They refused to negotiate fairly with us and now they ‘re locking the doors and will try to starve us into submission,” he said in a statement.

The 419 Moose Squadron doesn’t call Kamloops home, but as the Royal Canadian Air Force squadron prepares to celebrate its 75th anniversary, veterans and active members are headed to the birthplace of the Second World War pilot after whom the squadron is named. About 100 members of the 419, based out of CFB Cold Lake in Alberta, will arrive in the city tomorrow for a weekend of celebra-

tions, said public-affairs officer Lieut. Jennifer Halliwell. Fittingly, they will touch down first at Fulton Field, named for the same John “Moose” Fulton who served as the squadron’s commanding officer from 1941 to 1942. “Even to this day, we’re still called the Moosemen. And the Moose commanding officer, every pilot gets a call sign when they graduate pilot training, but when they become the CO of 419 Squadron, they all change their call sign to Moose for those two or three years

John Thorpe is the big winner of the Y Dream Home Lottery’s most successful year yet. The one-in-34 odds of winning any of the 300-plus prizes bode well for the 48-year-old Telus employee, who yesterday won the grand prize — a 3,500-square-foot 2016 dream home in Westsyde valued at $636,500. “Oh my god. I was just super stoked. I couldn’t believe it,” Thorpe said. “I’m still shaking and in shock.” Thorpe has lived in Kamloops on and off for the last 20 years, and steadily since finding employment with Telus almost four years ago. Though an occasional gambler, Thorpe had never purchased a Y Dream Home Lottery ticket prior to this year. “I’ve been thinking about buying a Y ticket for years now, but just never had the money put aside to be able to do it,” he said. “This year I said, ‘I’m doing it’ — and look where we are now. “I just put it into the universe

that I wanted that house and it seemed to work.” Thorpe rents in the Tournament Capital and has never owned a home of his own. With family in the area, he said he plans to retire in Kamloops — especially after the big win. “I’m 48, but I feel like I’m 30 — no grey hair and I’m a rock and roll guy,” he said. It will take some time to solidify his plans for the house, Thorpe said, but he hasn’t ruled out living in it. He also has the option to sell the house for taxfree cash. The house is the product of an award-winning partnership between the Canadian Home Builders’ Association’s Central Interior chapter and Thompson

Rivers University trades and technology students. It has four bedrooms, a finished basement and a xeriscaped yard. Proceeds from the lottery, estimated at more than $250,000, support various initiatives at the Kamloops Y, allowing it to continue its family and outreach programming. It is the largest fundraiser for the organization. This year’s lottery set a new record, selling out in just seven weeks — three weeks sooner than any other year. In addition to the Westsyde home, 326 other prizes were up for grabs yesterday. “When you get into a world like this, you think, ‘How long is it going to last?’” said Bryce Herman, lottery marketing manager. “I think at 10 years we thought it might run a little flat, but it nothing but continues to grow momentum “I don’t see anything waning off at this point. Obviously, with a record year in our 20th, there is nothing indicating this lottery is about to slow down.” Winner of all 326 prizes can be found online at ydreamhome.com.

Two thieves who burgled a downtown Kamloops vape shop were behind bars yesterday after being busted overnight by a business owner who was watching surveillance footage of the break-in while at home. Mounties responded to a report of a burglary at Kamloops Cigar and Vape in the 200-block of Lansdowne Street just after 2 a.m. The owner of a neighbouring business, All A-Board Games, told investigators he watched two people illegally enter the store via remote surveillance. Derek Johnson said he was sound asleep when his smartphone went off, alerting him to a break-in at Kamloops Cigar and Vape. “It actually woke [video online] me up See footage of the from a burglary online at deep kamloopsthisweek.com sleep,” he said. “We have a shared security system and I’m the one who gets the alerts.” Johnson said he called 911 and alerted the shop’s owners. By the time he showed up at the scene, Johnson said, there was already a heavy police presence. “We were really impressed,” he said. “There were four cars on site by the time I got there.” Police said they found the burglars — a 35-year-old man and an 18-year-old woman — in the west end of Riverside Park, recovering some items that were stolen from the store. Louise Thomsen, co-owner of Kamloops Cigar and Vape, said the crooks did not appear to be criminal masterminds, noting they stole a variety of items, including inexpensive lighters, loose change and bongs, as well as a large vaporizer and a humidor. “It was a smash and grab,” she said. “As the couple was running, they were dropping things, so the police just followed the trail.” The accused had not appeared in court as of KTW’s press deadline yesterday.

Judge says Highland Valley must pay up CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A B.C. Supreme Court justice has ruled Highland Valley Copper must pay what was dubbed “the Package” to two retired management employees. Martin Jylha and Albert Aubrey retired from staff positions from the mine near Logan Lake and both were originally unionized employees. The pair brought legal action against Highland Valley Copper because they did not receive the rich payment upon retirement — Jylha in 2015 and Aubrey three years earlier. The pair each worked for the copper mine for more than 30 years. “It is clear that a business practice developed of paying

Highland Valley Copper near Logan Lake.

staff employees the Package at the end of their retirement,” wrote B.C. Supreme Court Justice Joel Groves. “It appears that the Package was a reality of staff employment at HVC.” The mine, owned by Teck Resources, held a meeting in

2007 to announce to staff it would no longer provide retirement packages. The benefit was originally meant to lure the best unionized employees, who have a superior pension. “The result of this was an outcry,” Groves said. Both retired workers should have received the benefit, the B.C. Supreme Court justice ruled. Based on 18 months’ salary at the base rate, Jylha was awarded $170,000, while Aubrey will receive $176,000. “The evidence is clear that both Aubrey and Jylha were promised by their employer’s representatives the Package upon retirement,” Groves wrote. “HVC is bound by that bargain and Aubrey and Jylha had an expectation when they were hired that they could rely on their employer’s commitments . . . “They are entitled to what they bargained for.”

Differing responses to Walsh’s five-point Ajax mine plan ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A list of conditions for the proposed KGHM Ajax mine, which one Kamloops councillor believes could secure the city’s support for the project, won’t be debated until the fall. In the monthly KTW column from city council, published on Tuesday, Coun. Denis Walsh outlined five conditions he said could secure the city’s support for the controversial proposed copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen. These include acceptance of the mine by local First Nations bands, the formation of an independent regulatory body to oversee mining activity in B.C. and the formation of a local panel to review the mine’s activities once it is in operation. Walsh said the conditions were inspired by practices in Timmins, Ont., and Malartic, Que., two towns located near open-pit mines that he and other members of city council toured earlier this year. “Looking at the legislation that’s in place, the governments there have done a far better job of addressing urban mines,” Walsh told KTW. While he plans to bring his five conditions to council this fall, Walsh said he wants to give the community the summer to discuss the proposal, in particular residents who support KGHM Ajax’s project. Walsh’s announcement has Mayor Peter Milobar perplexed. “Half or three-quarters of this stuff we’re trying to cover off with the community benefit agreement, so I don’t really know the purpose of it,” he said. Milobar said many of Walsh’s proposed conditions will be on the table when the city resumes meetings with KGHM Ajax in August. The city was in talks to strike a community benefit agreement with the mining company earlier this year before the company abruptly pulled out of talks — only to announce shortly after that it

would return to negotiations. Milobar said the city has spent the past several months creating a proposal to take to the company, which is also based on advice from mining communities in Ontario and Quebec. “I didn’t think we were that far off of coming to some form of agreement when talks broke down the first time,” he said. “So I don’t think this is something that’s really an impossible thing to do and, frankly, I think Dennis’ press release does nothing but muddy the waters.” Other council members are more supportive of Walsh’s proposal. Coun. Donovan Cavers said he would likely support Walsh’s plan, though he doubted KGHM Ajax would be able to meet many of the requirements and turn a profit. “I think any amount of additional oversight on a project like this is a good idea,” he said. Both Cavers and Coun. Tina Lange agree an independent authority, rather than the Ministry of Energy and Mines, should be regulating mines in B.C. — a recommendation put to the province by B.C.’s auditor general earlier this year, but so far not adopted. Lange said she doubts a resolution from Kamloops city council will convince the B.C. Liberal government to create an independent agency, but she still feels the proposal has value. Coun. Arjun Singh called Walsh’s plan an “interesting proposal,” adding he likes the idea of decoupling mining oversight from the Ministry of Energy and Mines. “I think it’s a good discussion to have. It gives us the opportunity to think through that process,” he said. Coun. Dieter Dudy, who also sits on the committee negotiating with KGHM, agreed the city is asking for much of Walsh’s proposal already. But he said a binding promise of “zero harm” and the additional oversights Walsh is asking for may not be plausible.

“I hate to say, but some of it’s pie in the sky,” he said. “But why not? Throw it at the wall and see what sticks.” Skeetchestn Indian Band Chief Ron Ignace agrees with Walsh that the province has not done enough to regulate the mining industry. Asked about Walsh’s idea of an oversight panel for the mine, which would have representation from the Skeetchestn and Tk’emlups bands, along with the city and provincial government, Ignace feels those discussion are “a long way down the road yet. “We need to determine the viability of this mine first,” he said. The two bands have launched their own panel review process for the mine and will deliver a report on their findings later this year. In a statement, the bands say they appreciate Walsh’s references to the ongoing land claim case over lands owned by KGHM at the mine site and added more criticism of the B.C. government’s regulation of mines. “As Councillor Walsh referenced, the BC government’s management of the mining industry is failing to protect the environment against significant risk as harshly evaluated by B.C. Auditor General Carol Bellringer,” it reads. “We developed a more fulsome review process that is beneficial beyond the boundaries of our territories, evaluating long-term impacts and benefits of proposed resource development. We have been diligently reviewing the proposed KGHM Ajax mine on behalf of our members as well as in consideration of our neighbours such as at the residents of the city of Kamloops and outlying area.” In a brief statement, KGHM Ajax spokesman Yves Lacasse thanked Walsh for his suggestions. “We will continue to work with regulatory agencies, First Nations and the City of Kamloops as the environmental assessment process continues, and we look forward to further conversations about next steps and the way forward.”

John Fulton was already a seasoned Royal Air Force pilot when he became the first commanding officer of Royal Canadian Airforce squadron 419 in 1941. After spending a year working as a bank clerk in Kamloops as a teen, Fulton headed for the Boeing School of Aeronautics in Oakland, Calif. to learn to fly. By 1934, he had joined the Royal Air Force, where he was still serving when the Second World War swept across Europe. “When the RCAF’s No. 419 Squadron was organized, its executive officers were Canadians loaned by the RAF,” wrote Hugh Kemp in his 1944 book Canada’s Aces. “The first commanding officer of this great squadron was the freckled, ginger-haired,

“We’ve had a really great relationship with Kamloops throughout and they’re all really excited to go down and hold a big event there,” she said. “They could have held it in Cold Lake, but they really felt Kamloops was the right place to hold that with the relationship.”

JOHN “MOOSE” FULTON

soft-spoken, slow-gaited man known as Moose. His popularity is now part of the legend. “Wherever the Moose went, the crowd moved with him. “He was the object of equal affection from group captains and sergeants. And both stood about the same in the

great democratic regard of the Moose.” Fulton was decorated multiple times throughout the war, including the Distinguished Flying Cross, the Air Force Cross and the Distinguished Service Order. He is credited with flying more than 50 bombing missions before his aircraft was lost at sea in August 1942. His loss was deeply felt in the squad. A log book from the time, posted online by family of a former Mooseman, notes: “W/C Fulton was a most popular leader and the gloom in the squadron is beyond expression.” Moose’s father was Frederick Fulton, one of the founders of the Fulton & Company law firm that to this day still operates out of downtown Kamloops.

Second World War. The event will also have children’s activities, including a bouncy castle and food trucks. Admission is by donation to the Kamloops Food Bank. Halliwell said the squadron is excited to head to the city that helped give it a name.

Canada Post said work is transferring to courier firms as business prepares for disruption. Bill Terran with Fast Action Courier Service said volume is ramping up for the company and its five vehicles in Kamloops. “We’re always busy and we’ll stay busier with the strike,” he said. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) estimates 98 per cent of its members still use letter mail, with about 40 per cent sending more than 50 pieces each week. CFIB president Dan Kelly warned that Canada Post and its unionized employees will lose work that will not come back as companies adjust to electronic and private alternatives. “While Canada Post must take steps to address its pension liabilities, the threat of a prolonged work stoppage has many small business owners worried,” Kelly said. Tara Johnson of Johnson Walsh Plumbing & Heating said the company sends out more billing

BY THE NUMBERS • Canada Post issued 72-hour notice to its union, allowing a lockout as early as 9 p.m. tonight. • Talks began in November 2015 for a collective agreement that expired at the end of December 2015. • Canada Post said union demands would add $1 billion to its costs. It is seeking work flexibility and a lesser pension for new hires. • There are 175 unionized posties in Kamloops working at the delivery centre on Camosun Crescent, sorting plant on Dalhousie Drive and the main plant in the 200-block of Seymour Avenue. • CUPW has a strike fund for workers. If they are laid off, they can apply for employmentinsurance benefits.

by email than by Canada Post, but noted any work stoppage will nonetheless have an impact. “We’re probably going to be missing some payments and getting as much by email as possible,” she said. The CFIB is touting benefits of Interac e-transfer as an option to traditional payment by cheque. Johnson said many older customers continue to prefer using cheques and traditional mail. Doug Maitland, owner of Budget Brake & Muffler in Kamloops, predicted any mail stoppage will hurt small business, his included. “I don’t have a lot of stuff that I bill out, but I do some,” he said. While customers typically make payment after work is done, Maitland said he bills via mail for some. His shop does not do electronic billing. “I’ll have to call or fax them, go and pick up a cheque or have them drop it off,” Maitland said. “We’ve had this issue before and had to get through it. We’ve survived, but it’s an inconvenience.”

At the conclusion of his presentation on how to improve health care in the province, Dr. Mark Fromberg was asked a blunt question by Abbotsford South Liberal MLA Darryl Plecas. “What percentage of physicians think like you do and why is it so damn difficult to get these ideas to have wheels?” Plecas asked Fromberg. The recently retired Kelowna doctor appeared in Kamloops yesterday before the province’s Select Standing Committee on Health, which is also holding public sessions in Vancouver, Victoria and Prince George. The committee is also accepting written submissions until July 29. The committee, of which Plecas is a member, is charged with identifying potential strategies to maintain a sustainable health-care system in B.C. and consider health capital-funding options. Fromberg told the committee he believes letting general practitioners create interdisciplinary teams of other medical professionals would help resolve the doctor shortage in the province and improve health care. However, he told the committee, barriers exist that make this impossible, including the legislated prohibition imposed on them that does not allow them to delegate care. “Visit-type services may not be delegated,” Fromberg read from the B.C. Guide to Fees, adding the colleges that govern physicians and nurse practitioners uphold this inability to have others take on medical care they are qualified to do. In the model he presented, Fromberg said he envisions a team with a dietitian, a physical therapist and a nurse practitioner, among others — medical professionals who could deal with a patient’s dietary issues or muscle sprains — which would free him up to provide improved care for those who need to see a medical doctor. Fromberg said the legislated daily volume cap is another barrier, noting the medical profession is the only one where “the harder you work, the less you get paid.” The cap is set at 50 patients a day. If a general practitioner sees more than 50 patients, the fee for services rendered is cut in half and, if the volume is greater than 60, no fee is paid. The cap is not imposed on specialists or doctors in remote areas, Fromberg said. Eliminating it would allow general practitioners to see more patients, generating revenue to create an interdisciplinary team that would assist in providing health care, he said. The cap is one reason medical students often look to specialty rather than family practices, Fromberg said. In response to Plecas’ question, Fromberg said leadership is needed to get the governing colleges together to hear the concerns and ideas being suggested. He said he attended a conference at which a representative of the B.C. College of Physicians and Surgeons gave a presentation. “And then he just left,” Fromberg said. “I wanted to talk to him, but he didn’t stick around.” Fromberg suggested leadership needs to come from politicians because his colleagues “are barely treading water, they’re so busy.” But, he concluded, if the model he suggested was in place, if it could offload one-third of patient care to other disciplines qualified to treat it, the capacity it would create could resolve the province’s doctor shortage. If you have an idea for the committee, go online to tinyurl.com/j5f4ljx or send a fax to 250-356-8172 by the July 29 deadline.

PUT WHEELS ON GOOD IDEAS

arryl Plecas, the renowned Fraser Valley criminologist turned B.C. Liberal MLA, had a question at yesterday’s Kamloops stop of the latest health care train to save the system: “Why is it so damn difficult to get these ideas to have wheels?” Plecas was responding to a retired doctor, Mark Fromberg, who appeared before the touring Select Standing Committee in Health and gave some of his ideas to improve the health-care system in B.C. Plecas liked what he heard from Fromberg and we are sure the rest of the MLAs on the committee have heard plenty of good ideas as they visit various cities and accept submissions via email or fax until July 29. The problem with these travelling road shows is that there will be another one just like it soon enough, just as there have been similar touring political lend-me-your-ear caravans in years past. And that brings us to Plecas’ question as to why good ideas seem to join multi-million-dollar commission reports on shelves, gathering dust. When up to 12,000 people in Kamloops are without a doctor and when waiting lists for a variety of surgeries are measured in months and years, it is obvious this nation’s vaunted health-care system is ailing. Dennis Karpiuk, a retired doctor in Kamloops, wrote a letter to the editor last week, blasting the bloated bureaucracy in the system as a signifcant cause of the problem. He noted Royal Inland Hospital in 1975 had 440 beds and was run by four administrators. Today, Karpiuk wrote, the hospital has 246 beds and is run by hundreds of administrators. In Canada, one health sector public administration employee serves 1,415 Canadians. In Germany, the ratio is 1:15,545. Why is this? Perhaps yesterday’s meeting in Kamloops, and subsequent gatherings to follow, will address this and other problems in the system before the wheels fall off the ideas that are indeed worthy of implementing.

A hair-raising letter

n June 27, no doubt to the horror of fashionistas everywhere, Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren shared a stage wearing matching powder blue pantsuits. The Twitterverse was agog — both praising the woman who may be president and the other woman who might be vice-president and condemning them for their horrific fashion faux pas. Google “Hillary clothes criticism” and you will find plenty of articles and blogs on such crucial international issues as her penchant to sometimes go out without makeup, how wearing pantsuits indicates she’s confused about her gender and how she’s just not girly enough. Not to be outdone, our own country had critics pointing fingers when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s wife, Sophie Gregoire Trudeau, dared to wear an Oscar de la Renta dress for a photo shoot with her then newly elected hubby. It’s mind-boggling how people can be so quick to criticize the superficial, the kind of stuff that simply shouldn’t matter. This entire sexist default, this battle women face to prove they are more than just pretty faces, should be a thing of the past. Sadly, it persists. I got my own reminder of it courtesy of an unsigned letter — it bears only the initials AJ — sent to the office. It was written on yellow lined paper and had stapled

DALE BASS

Street

LEVEL to it a clipping of the photo of me that accompanies my column (the one right above these words). It’s brief, so I’ll reprint it here: “Dale Bass: We have an invention called a ‘mirror.’ You should find one and look in it!! All I see when I look @ your picture is a 50, 60 yr old trying to look 18!! You write a great column so you’re smart and well educated. It would be great if you portrayed that mature image with your appearance!! Try it, you might like it!! Sincerely, AJ.” I must say, I’m really unclear how my hair makes me look immature. It’s hair. It’s long. It has some silver strands, a large swatch of white and, depending on my mood, might also have red or pink streaks in it. I’ve worn it short — growing up in the time of Twiggy did lead to a truly awful cut — and it’s been even longer than it is today. It has nothing to do with my

education, my viewpoints, my volunteer activities or my writing. Those areas are where I find maturity, knowing that, in my 60s now, there is still plenty to learn. There are things going on in my family, my community, my country and my world that continue to inspire me. There are people who welcome my offers to help them with projects, plans, service — whatever their goals might be. As a journalist, I know there is always a need for many different voices to be heard on issues that face us every day. Their stories need to be told by someone with the maturity to share that voice. Maturity comes from having a strong work ethic, from building on experiences. It definitely doesn’t come out of a clothes closet and it won’t come from cutting hair. People need to be judged on what they do, on who they are at their very essence, not on their pantsuits, their fancy clothes or how they style their hair. Unfortunately, women all too often are judged on those criteria alone. It’s a form of sexism that should not remain alive in the 21st century and should not be tolerated by anyone. So, AJ, thanks for the fashion advice — but it’s just hair.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

THOUGHTS ON HEALTH CARE

Two-year-old Owen Sampson’s usual route through Riverside Park was interrupted by at tree-climbing event recently — and the expression on his face is why reader Wendy Patrick is praising the work of KTW photographer Allen Douglas.

ALLY D HAS THE MAGIC TOUCH WITH HIS CAMERA Editor: Who is truly up to the challenge? Kamloops This Week photographer Allen Douglas. As a former teacher, I always notice pictures that feature children and I have enjoyed every one I have seen by Allen Douglas. He creatively catches the spirit of the moment. Each child’s face reflects the energy and involvement of the activity, so clear in that special event. But even the two-year-old’s determination to ride that trike through the long grass — delightful! Thank you. Up to the challenge? Oh, yes. Wendy Patrick Kamloops

Editor: How to ensure the quality and sustainability of our province’s health-care system: 1) Kamloops is greatly in need of additional doctors. When my wife contacted the local hospital to ask if any doctors were taking new patients, she was told the hospital no longer offered this service. At the same time, she was informed there are 12,000-plus city residents who do not have a family doctor. This is deplorable. 2) A week ago, I accompanied my wife to a walk-in clinic. We arrived at 7:05 a.m. and were eighth in line for the 8 a.m. opening. By the time the door opened, there were about 35 people line, 50 per cent of whom were seniors. The lady next to us, a senior, is scheduled for knee surgery, but had to stand with the rest of us. Another elderly lady came by taxi and was far back in the lineup. When we finally got into

the clinic and received a number, we sat in the waiting room until called by the receptionist, who told us we would get to see a doctor at about 9:30 a.m. The woman who came by taxi and was far back in the lineup would get a much later time to see a doctor, so she would either have to sit in a waiting room full of sick people or return home by taxi and come back at her scheduled time, again by taxi. If, as stated by Health Minister Terry Lake, we are looking forward to walk-in clinics as being the norm here in Kamloops, I suggest these clinics be forced to take reservations on a first-phone basis. As a 79-year-old senior born in this province, I cannot accept having to stand outside a clinic for up to one hour when the temperature drops into the freezing range. When great numbers of people waiting for a doctor are first forced to line

up outside and then wait in a room full of people with health problems, the odds of contracting someone else’s disease is greatly increased. 3) Both my wife I have entered our name with a nurse practitioner in a clinic that may have vacancies some day in the future. There is no guarantee. Maybe we should have more nurses doing this service if doctors are in short supply. 4) As seniors with health problems, we find it unfortunate our government cannot solve the doctor crisis in Kamloops. We are concerned walk-in clinic doctors (we see a different one every time) have no interest in us as patients and will only serve the condition we take to the clinic that day. Without our medical history, these doctors are not interested in us as patients, only as another billing client. George and Velda Leask Kamloops

STAFF REPORTER

A Little Shuswap Indian Band member who uses the courts for “abusive and vexatious purposes” has been forbidden from entering band facilities and restrained from contacting a long list of members. The band brought a lawsuit again Peter Allan August-Sjodin, asking the B.C. Supreme Court to issue a ban forbidding him from attending places including band offices, Quaaout Resort & Conference Centre, the band’s day care, golf

A woman who earlier this year attacked a 100 Mile House Mountie and a Kamloops psychiatric nurse has been found not criminally responsible for either incident by way of a mental disorder. Shaina Leigh Inkster admitted in Kamloops provincial court on Wednesday to two counts of assault and one of assaulting a police officer. Court heard the 29-year-old travelled with a friend from New Westminster to 100 Mile House on March 30. Once there, they went to a house and Inkster

course and gas station. The band argued it needed to protect its goodwill from harassment and intimidation by August-Sjodin. “Mr. August-Sjodin uses the courts for the purpose of harassment and intimidation, giving no thought to its cost to his fellow band members or the time taken away from their duties and chief and council, band employees and others to attend court actions,” the band argued. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Hope Hyslop called August-Sjodin’s conduct in the lawsuit “scandalous and outrageous.”

became agitated and began hitting her friend. Police were called and Inkster became even more violent when they showed up. “She landed a punch that was directed at one of the constables that attended,” Crown prosecutor Neil Flanagan said. “She was attempting to kick one of the officers in the chest. It became apparent that she was in the throes of, for want of a better expression, a mentalhealth crisis of some sort.” Inkster was taken to hospital in 100 Mile House and trans-

In his filings, August-Sjodin used phrasing similar to Freemen-on-the-Land, a loose group of adherents brought together through the Internet who argue Canadian laws do not pertain to them. “Mr. August-Sjodin’s response and amended response is incoherent and confusing,” Hyslop wrote. Hyslop banned August-Sjodin from entering six band facilities and from contacting 14 named members and all employees or contractors. He can only address written correspondence to the band’s administrator.

At Royal Inland Hospital, court heard, Inkster appeared compliant on April 1 when given her medication. “She then does become very upset,” Flanagan said. “She strikes the psychiatric nurse in the face. Fortunately, there were other nurses present who were able to restrain Ms. Inkster. She was placed in a secure room and was able to remain there for some time.” Inkster was eventually released from hospital and was

While free, she underwent a courtordered psychiatric review to determine whether she could be held responsible for the assaults. A doctor eventually found that her mental disorder at the time meant she should not be held criminally responsible. Kamloops provincial court Judge Chris Cleaveley accepted that finding and absolved Inkster of criminal responsibility. She will now be dealt with by the B.C. Review Board.

B.C. Parks has added four new sites for this summer: Reservations can be made for Garibaldi Provincial Park in the Whistler area, Ruckle Provincial Park on Saltspring Island, Okanagan Falls Provincial Park, Inland Lake Provincial Park near Powell River and Dry Gulch Provincial Park near Radium Hot Springs.

About that campsite rush

75 PER CENT OF RESERVATIONS ARE MADE BY B.C. RESIDENTS TOM FLETCHER

BLACK PRESS

tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Foreign visitors and those on package tours account for a small fraction of the demand for B.C. Parks campgrounds around the province, but B.C. resident campers are still using a few tricks to get spaces for high-demand parks. Some have protested the use of online reservations by motorhome tour operators who sell them as part of a package for tourists. “Our provincial campsites are not products to be sold. They belong to the people of B.C.,” Green Leader Andrew Weaver said this week. Environment Minister Mary Polak said numbers are being tracked for the current year, noting the proportions haven’t changed much. In 2015, fewer than one per cent of reservable B.C. Parks spaces were booked by tour

operators, who also use private camping facilities. Three-quarters of reservations are from within B.C. The second highest share is from Alberta at 14 per cent, the U.S. accounts for 3.6 per cent, the rest of Canada 2.8 per cent and all European countries combined are 6.6 per cent of the total. The B.C. Parks system has 10,700 camping spaces and 5,600 are reservable to manage demand for the most popular spots. First-come, first-served sites are kept out of the reservation system in some popular locations to accommodate travellers who drop in along the road. For high-demand periods like the recent Canada Day weekend, savvy campers work the reservation system. At Golden Ears Provincial Park, one group booked for two weeks as soon as the 90-day eligibility window

opened, then dropped the first week, giving them the coveted Canada Day weekend dates before they were generally available. “Every year we look to change things to keep people from cheating and, every year, they find new ways,” Polak said. “Really, the only answer is going to be finding a way to expand the number of sites that we have available.” It’s shaping up as a record year for the Discover Camping reservation service, with 92,000 bookings so far this year. B.C. Parks has added four new sites for this summer. Reservations can be made for Garibaldi Provincial Park in the Whistler area, Ruckle Provincial Park on Saltspring Island, Okanagan Falls Provincial Park, Inland Lake Provincial Park near Powell River and Dry Gulch Provincial Park near Radium Hot Springs.

Police are looking for a Kamloops man who failed to show up at the courthouse on Tuesday morning for his sentencing on child-pornography charges. Arnold Rand Arnason, 56, was slated to be sentenced on two counts — importing or distributing child pornography and possession of child pornography — at 10 a.m., but he was a no-show. After waiting for an hour, B.C. Supreme

Court Justice Hope Hyslop issued a warrant for Arnason’s arrest. Not much is known about the offences for which Arnason is to be sentenced, other than the fact they took place in Kamloops in October 2014. Court heard he fired his lawyer in January and his family was hesitant about him representing himself at sentencing.

Using power of garlic against skeeters TAYLOR, B.C. — Folklore says a bulb of garlic will repel a vampire, but a northwestern B.C. community believes the pungent vegetable is the answer to fighting a smaller, but equally bloodthirsty pest. The District of Taylor has approved a pilot project to apply an environmentally friendly, potent garlic solution to several areas around town in hopes of wiping out mosquitoes. The solution is 99 per cent garlic and Taylor councillors have been assured it can kill mosquito larvae while the leftover sulphers are undetectable by humans, but deter adult mosquitoes for weeks.

Several baseball diamonds in Taylor will be sprayed first and the concoction will also be applied around the downtown core. Based on costs and results, Taylor council intends to expand the pilot project in 2017. Taylor joins a handful of Canadian communities, including Leduc, Alta., and Huntsville, Ont., in using garlic to eradicate pests, with Huntsville using the potion to control black flies in advance of the 2010 G8 meeting. — The Canadian Press

“I feel strongly that by listening to people, we are making better project decisions.” - Lexa Hobenshield, External Relations Manager, Kinder Morgan Canada

For more than four years, we’ve worked together with our neighbours and local communities to hear what they have to say about our proposed pipeline expansion. By listening closely and having an open dialogue, we’ve been able to create a stronger, safer and more responsive project. We are working to meet all the requirements of the regulators, as well as consulting with communities, Indigenous people, government agencies and municipalities – and we’ll continue to work with them throughout development, construction and operations. We know how critical it is to get this right. Most importantly, we’re acting on what we hear with significant changes to the Project.

How feedback has resulted in a stronger, safer and better project: •

A $100 million investment in the West Coast Marine Response Corporation (WCMRC) for marine safety enhancements.

•

An increase in safety valves along the pipeline from 94 to 126.

•

An increase in pipeline wall thickness in sensitive areas, such as urban locations and at river crossings.

•

Routing of the pipeline to avoid 22 crossings at fish-inhabited rivers including the Fraser, upper North Thompson, Albreda, Coldwater and Coquihalla.

•

Routing to avoid environmentally sensitive areas, such as Cheam Wetlands and three BC Class A parks.

•

Routing of the pipeline to minimize community impacts to the Westsyde neighbourhood in Kamloops and the Westridge neighbourhood in Burnaby.

MP Kenney seeking Alberta Conservative leadership THE CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — Conservative MP Jason Kenney wants to lead the Alberta Progressive Conservatives and unite voters on the right to stop what he called the “accidental NDP government’’ in the next election. The former federal cabinet minister said it’s imperative the Alberta Tories and Opposition Wildrose put past differences aside if they are to take back power from Rachel Notley’s New Democrats. Kenney spared no words in his attack on the NDP government

that he said is “systematically destroying the Alberta advantage.’’ “There is only one way to eliminate that risk, only one way to ensure that we defeat the NDP in 2019 and get Alberta back on the right track. And that is to unite Albertans around a common cause,’’ Kenney told supporters at his announcement in Calgary yesterday. “The Progressive Conservatives and Wildrose parties must put Alberta first. We must focus on the future, not the past, on what unites us, not what divides us. “We must come

together to form a single, free-enterprise party and we must do so before the next election.’’ Kenney’s announcement that he will seek the Alberta Tory party’s top job is not unexpected. There had been speculation for months that he would return to his home province to try to broker a reconciliation between the more moderate PCs and the hardline Wildrose. The Tories were reduced to third party in the legislature in the May 2015 election when the NDP won a majority government and the Wildrose retained offi-

cial Opposition status. The party has been without a permanent leader since. Jim Prentice, who led the party to its first defeat in 40-plus years, resigned on election night. Kenney promised any talks between the two provincial parties would be done openly, not in backrooms, and flung open the door to the Wildrose. “Wildrose supporters are not our enemies or our adversaries. They’re our friends . . . they are family. We are all family together,” he said. The PCs have said they aren’t keen

JASON KENNEY

to merge, while the Wildrose has said it would be happy to link up, but only under its banner and with leader Brian Jean calling the shots. Kenney, however, suggested that if the Progressive Conservatives and

the Canadian Alliance could merge federally in 2003, it will be a “walk in the park’’ to unite the right in Alberta. But a leader who tried to do just that in 2014 when she led a mass floor crossing from the Wildrose to the PCs isn’t so sure Kenney is up to the task or that he can appeal to urban voters. “It’s going to be an uphill battle for him . . . because of some of the positions that he has taken on conservative social issues in the past,’’ said Danielle Smith, who is now a radio host. “There has to be a fundamental recogni-

tion that Calgary and Edmonton are far more progressive on social issues than the rural areas.’’ Two former MLAs who followed Smith to the PCs — Rob Anderson and Bruce McAllister — are keen to see Alberta’s right unite and believe Kenney is the right person to do it. Anderson, who crossed from the Tories to the Wildrose and back again, said the ground is more fertile for a merger now than it was in 2014. “When you stare socialism in the face for a year, it kind of wakes you up,’’ said Anderson.

Crown appeals sentence for Maple Leaf Gardens abuser TORONTO — Prosecutors are seeking a “substantially longer’’ sentence for the man at the heart of the Maple Leaf Gardens sex abuse scandal, saying the penalty he received does not reflect the

severity of his crimes. The Crown has filed a notice of appeal in the case of Gordon Stuckless, who was sentenced last month to 6.5 years in prison for sexually abusing 18

boys decades ago. Stuckless, 67, was given credit of six months for time served under house arrest, which means he will spend six years behind bars.

Canadian auto sales on pace for record, driven by popularity of light trucks Vehicle sales in Canada are on a record-setting pace, thanks largely to a surge in the popularity of light trucks, like the 2016 Ford F-150.

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Ken Dacko makes the 200-kilometre round trip from his home in Alma, Ont., to a factory in Brampton, Ont., where he works once a week, in his 2016 Jeep Wrangler. Dacko purchased the vehicle earlier this year because, he said, it’s reliable and guaranteed to start, giving him peace of mind. “Four-wheel drive is important for the wintertime because I leave for work around 3:30, four o’clock in the morning, and sometimes the roads this far north are not plowed,’’ he said. Dacko, 76, is one of thousands of Canadians snapping up new vehicles in droves, despite concerns about the economy and mounting consumer debt. Data released this week by DesRosiers Automotive Consultants shows that Canada is on track for yet another year of record-high sales, and light trucks — a category that includes pickups, SUVs, minivans and crossovers — are driving the trend. Canadians bought 989,177 new vehicles in the first six months of this year, up six per cent from the same period last year, when they snatched up 933,439 vehicles, according to the market research firm.

Experts have said cheap credit and economic strength in Ontario, British Columbia and, to some extent, Quebec are helping boost sales. “Interest rates are incredibly low and, as we all know, vehicles are

one of the big purchases in people’s lives,’’ said Charlotte Yates, an automotive industry expert and vice-president academic at the University of Guelph. This week’s data also highlights the continuing

shift away from passenger cars and towards light trucks. Sales of passenger cars slipped 6.8 per cent to 346,584, according to DesRosiers, but light trucks more than picked up the slack.

Canadians bought 642,593 new light trucks in the first six months of the year, an increase of 14.5 per cent over last year. The bestselling model was the Ford F-Series truck, with 72,233 vehicles sold so far this year.

Automotive analyst Dennis DesRosiers said crossovers have become especially popular in recent years, displacing the minivan as the family vehicle of choice. “They fit everything, so the boomer has a vehicle that they can load up with their sports equipment and head out to the beach, and grandma and grandpa that are babysitting have a vehicle that they can put the kids in,’’ DesRosiers said. Their height also makes them convenient for people who may have mobility issues. “They’re much easier to get into and out of as opposed to a small sedan,’’ said Scotiabank economist Carlos Gomes. Yates said the relationship that many Canadians have to the outdoors is another reason why sales of light trucks have been on fire. “I do think there is a kind of iconic culture around the SUV, the crossover, the truck,’’ said Yates. “We live a paradoxical existence. More and more of us live in cities, but we still have the myth that we need the four-wheel drive because we’re going to the country. “It’s about expressing a kind of lifestyle choice, and I think that it’s been very, very powerful.’’

Top Gear stalls as ratings fall, host quits ADELA SULIMAN

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON — Top Gear host Chris Evans announced this week that he’s quitting the BBC’s flagship car show after just one series.

Evans, 50, who also hosts a popular BBC radio breakfast show, told his 2.31-million Twitter followers: “Stepping down from Top Gear. Gave it my best shot but sometimes that’s not

The team are beyond brilliant, I wish them all the best.’’ The adrenalinefuelled car show has struggled to draw a big audience since it was relaunched in May, hosted by Evans and former Friends star Matt LeBlanc. The revamped show attracted just 1.9-million viewers to its season finale on Sunday, down from 5.8-million viewers when outspoken trio Jeremy

hopes of 4.4-million viewers but quickly halved, plummeting to around twomillion viewers for the remainder of the season. The departure of Evans means more intense scrutiny for a program that has become more than a TV show in Britain. The fine-tuned formula of blokey banter, consumer advice and automotive stunts has made

the show a cultural touchstone for car fans. The BBC claims it is watched by 350-million people around the world. Clarkson and his fellow presenters left last year after an offset dustup in which Clarkson punched a producer. The trio will host a new car show, The Grand Tour, on Amazon Prime this autumn.

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

obby Garcia grew up listening to the classics of country music — Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash and Hank Williams (junior and senior). “All the old guys,” the Merritt musician said of those from which he has drawn inspiration to create his own music. He’ll bring that to Kamloops tomorrow night as he and his band take to the stage in McDonald Park for Music in the Park. The Serious Dogs will be on stage at Riverside Park for Music in the Park’s show downtown

tomorrow night. Garcia spends his days driving truck for the Pepsi company in Kamloops, but when he’s not behind the steering wheel, it’s all about the music he and his band, Six More Strings, perform whenever they can. The name came about by accident when Garcia and three musician friends — not yet a band, but sharing their love of country — were asked by another guitarist if he could sit in. “I said, ‘We could always use six more strings’,” Garcia said. “And he replied, ‘Hey, that would be a great name for a band.’” Garcia and his band performed at the Rockin’ River Music Festival during its rookie year at Merritt in 2015 and loved

the experience. It was the first year the festival that had called Mission home for years headed north to take over what was for decades the home of the Merritt Mountain Music Fest. Garcia said he thought the event went well, with good-sized crowds for a first-time, and he’s eager to perform again this year. He and the band also did a recent show in Ashcroft. Six More Strings’ set list includes covers, but Garcia has also written some songs, four of which are on a CD the group has recorded, That’s Country.

LOOK WHO WON!

Jim Williams of Kamloops took this shot of a family of great horned owls while walking through Kenna Cartwright Park with his dog, Kali. Williams said the birds did not seem to be bothered by the presence of human and canine. Williams’ photo is the winner of KTW’s June photo contest, which had Animals as the theme. Our July contest is underway and has a theme of Kids. Enter online at www.kamloopsthisweek.com/photo-contest/.

Go wild with return of SPCA’s photo contest The BC SPCA’s eighth annual Wildlife-In-Focus Photography Contest is now open for entries. Each year, participating shutterbugs strive to capture the best of British Columbia’s wildlife through the lens, from the comfort of their own backyards to the massive array of options in the province’s vast wilderness. All amateur photographers at least 14 years of age are invited to enter the competition, which runs until Sept. 30, by submitting their most impressive digital images of B.C.’s wildlife at rest, work and play. “The hundreds of images we receive each year are absolutely stunning,” said BC SPCA chief scientific officer Dr. Sara Dubois. “They really showcase the astonishing diversity of wild animals we have in B.C. — in urban settings and in isolated locations.” A new category this year is the People’s Choice Award. By donating to vote, those who cast a ballot for their favourite images will also help animals in need with

their donation. The contest supports the BC SPCA’s Wild Animal Rehabilitation Centre (Wild ARC) on Vancouver Island, where nearly 3,000 orphaned and injured wild animals are cared for each year. Photos entered in previous contests have been featured in the BC SPCA’s Animal Sense and Bark! magazines, as well as in BC SPCA educational materials, local newspapers, websites and social media. Prizes are awarded for the top three photos in each of two categories: Wild Settings and Backyard Habitats. All photos of wildlife entered must be taken within B.C. and submitted digitally. “Wildlife” includes freeliving birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, fish and insects, but not exotic, feral or domestic animals, nor wildlife in zoos or rehabilitation facilities. Learn more about this year’s contest and view past winners’ images online at spca.bc.ca/wildlife in-focus.

Seniors get ready to picnic at the park The 2016 Seniors’ Picnic will take place in Riverside Park tomorrow from 10 a.m to 1 p.m. The annual event brings Kamloops seniors together to get outside, enjoy the sun, make new friends and help others. The picnic is free to attend, but participants must register by July 10 by calling 250-828-3500 with program #254343, or by going online to

www.kamloops.ca/ ezreg. Activities include Zumba, osteo-fit, arts and crafts and a photo booth. Free lunch will be provided by the Lions Paddlewheelers group and music will be performed by the Kamloops Rube Band. Event sponsors are Chartwell Ridgepointe and Retirement Concepts. While free park-

ing will be available at Sandman Centre, in the parking lot fronting Heritage House and in the west parking lot by the tennis courts, the city is encouraging seniors to take public transit, carpool or find alternative forms of transportation as there is limited space for vehicles. Attendees are urged to bring a water bottle, hat and sunscreen.

Bee at three-day workshop The agapostemon will be the focus of a weekend three-day workshop hosted by the Thompson Shuswap Master Gardeners and Thompson Rivers University. Not sure what that is? The creature can be found in most gardens, identifiable by its green iridescent body and known to most as a sweat bee. Lincoln Best, who has studied bees extensively will lead the workshop, which will include two days in a lab at the university and one field day collecting, identifying and photographing bees in the area.

The studying begins on July 15 and continues to July 17. Registration is $145 and participants should have Bumble Bees of North America and The Bees in Your Back Yard, books that will be referred to throughout the workshop.

Singer Keenan Wilcox kicked off the 2016 edition of Live at Lunch with a recent performance in the 400-block of Victoria Street. The Live at Lunch program continues through the summer with various performers on the sidewalks entertaining visitors to the downtown core of the Tournament Capital.

Tagging those garbage bins WildSafeBC, a program designed to reduce humanwildlife conflict, is now up and running in Kamloops for the 2016 season. WildSafeBC, which is funded by the city and the province, will be visiting various neighbourhoods across Kamloops this summer to do

weekly garbage tagging. Garbage bins that are placed on the curb the night before pickup will be targeted as garbage is the No. 1 attractant for black bears. Targeted bins will receive a bright yellow sticker that serves as a warning to residents that their garbage is an attractant. The city’s

bylaw states that, between April 1 and Nov. 30, garbage bins cannot be placed on the curb prior to 4 a.m. on collection days. For more information about the program and for tips on wildlife safety, go online to wildsafebc.com, follow WildSafeBC Kamloops or send an email to kamloops@wildsafebc.com.

Species at Risk — on display Species at Risk, a travelling exhibition from the Royal BC Museum in Victoria, is bringing the provincial museum’s research and expertise on endangered species to Kamloops for the first time. The Species at Risk pop-up exhibition will be at the Kamloops Farmers’ Market on Saturday, behind the Kamloops Museum & Archives, in the 200-block of St. Paul Street. Following remarks beginning at 10 a.m. from Royal BC Museum representatives, Health Minister Terry Lake, Kamloops Museum interpretor Sylvia Gropp and Kamloops Museum supervi-

sor Julia Cyr, the pop-up exhibition will be available to be viewed, for free, by the public. This is the second summer in which the Species at Risk project is taking to the road with information on B.C.’s flora and fauna at risk of extinction to the doorsteps of communities around the province via an inventively modified exhibition trailer and two interpreters. Species at Risk is produced at the Royal BC Museum, with support from the federal government, Telus, the Robert Bateman Centre, the John and Joan Innovators Fund and Quality Foods.

Welcome lifeguards to beach Lifeguards are now on duty at the Riverside Park beach. They will be working daily from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., weather permitting. To promote safety in and around the water, the city recommends swimming in the designated swimming area at Riverside Park when lifeguards are on duty and to keep within

arms’ reach of young children. The city also urges parents and guardians to supervise kids in the spray park. In the event of an emergency outside of daily operating times, or for boating related emergencies, call 911. For more information on being safe at the beach, go online to lifesaving.bc.ca.

HAY, PETRUK, BRANCH DISCUSS 1994-1995 BLAZERS, GOALTENDING CHANGE, HALL OF FAME INDUCTION

MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

od Branch sounded torn, equal parts grateful and gutted, speaking more than 20 years later about lifting junior hockey’s greatest prize in 1995. “I remember trembling and tears flowing and it wasn’t just because I was happy that we won,” said Branch, now 41. “It was a lot of hurt, too. It’s kind of like getting a glimpse of part of your dreams stepping aside.” The 1994-1995 Kamloops Blazers were inducted into the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame in the team category last month at a ceremony in Vancouver attended by former teammates, head coach Don Hay, general manager Bob Brown — and an elephant in the room. Hay and Branch have seen each other a few times since 1995, but have never spoken about a goaltending change neither has forgotten. Branch had paid his dues, waited patiently as a 17-year-old behind Dale Masson and Steve Passmore in 1992-1993 and played the backup role down the stretch diligently as an 18-year-old behind Passmore, who returned for his 20-year-old season when the Blazers won their second Memorial Cup in 1994 in Laval. It was meant to be Branch’s turn in 1995, his coronation between the pipes in his 19-year-old season, with the Blazers set to host the Memorial Cup at Riverside Coliseum, and

Two-time Memorial Cup champion Rod Branch’s memories of hoisting the trophy are not all fond.

it was 16-year-old rookie Randy Petruk’s turn to wait in line. Playing behind one of the greatest junior hockey teams ever assembled — bolstered by stars such as Darcy Tucker, Hnat Domenichelli, Brad Lukowich, Aaron Keller, Ryan Huska, Nolan Baumgartner, Jason Strudwick, Tyson Nash, Jarome Iginla and Shane Doan — Branch had an excellent regular season, posting a 35-11-2 record,

a .900 save percentage, a franchise-record 2.60 goals against average and a franchise-record tying five shutouts in 50 games. But he started to fight the puck in the West Division final against the Tri-City Americans, a series the Blazers won 4-2, and continued to struggle against the Brandon Wheat Kings in the WHL Championship. Kamloops lost Game 1 and Branch was pulled and replaced by Petruk early in

Game 2, which Brandon won to steal home-ice advantage and a 2-0 series lead heading back to the Wheat City. Hay consulted with Brown and assistant GM and head scout Stu MacGregor, among others, and a decision was made — Petruk was in and Branch was out. “I know Roddy was very disappointed because he had worked so hard to get to that point in the season and in his career,” Hay said. “On the other side, Randy was really excited about the opportunity to jump into the net. You hope like hell that it works out. Sometimes it does. Sometimes it doesn’t. That was a huge decision, no doubt.” It worked out for the Blazers, but Branch never played another minute in Blue and Orange after being pulled in Game 2. Petruk stepped into the crease, the Blazers rolled to three straight victories in Brandon and won Game 6 in Kamloops in OT to accomplish their goal of walking through the front door as WHL champs and the Memorial Cup’s host team. “It hurt a lot to be gearing up for something for so long and then knowing that it was just falling away,” Branch said. “You want to be the guy winning. If any goalie tells you otherwise, you don’t want him on your team. It’s never anything personal, it’s just that you want to play.” The Blazers went with Petruk when they demolished the competition at the national championship tournament, winning four straight games and crushing the Detroit Junior Red Wings 8-2 in the final. “Rod Branch carried us

for most of the year and did a great job,” said Petruk, now 38, living in Cincinnati and working in sales. “I was fortunate enough to get the ball and ran with it. I was just a 16-year-old, bright-eyed, bushy-tailed kid who got the opportunity and didn’t know any better. “I don’t know if you could write the script any better. It was a once-in-a-lifetime, perfect scenario for me, personally.” It was a plot twist that deeply affected Branch. “As a kid, everything you want is hockey,” said Branch, who has five children and works for Cascades Casino. “Your dreams are hockey. This is what I’m going to be. This is what I want to do. Then things change. Then you think, we’re basically just a bunch of glorified clowns out there as entertainment for people. “Kamloops is a fish bowl and, especially at that time, with that much focus, you could hide in your helmet on the ice, but they knew who you were off the ice. For a period, I thought that way, like, what is this? This is kind of a joke. “But then I think about what we’ve learned from those things and the experiences that come from that. There is so much to be learned from not just sports, but any team aspect when you’re a part of something bigger.” The benched goaltender masked his emotions while his team focused on winning a championship. “He was the absolute consummate professional,” Petruk, a Cranbrook product, said of Branch. “He pulled the line as far as

being a team guy. I never felt intimidated or like he felt like he deserved to be there instead of me. He gave me the utmost confidence. I can’t say enough about Roddy. I was really glad that he was able to make it back to Vancouver [for the induction ceremony].” Branch holds no grudges against Hay for riding Passmore and Petruk in 1994 and 1995, but there was pain in those years and the few that followed. “My play at the time [in 1995] was below what I was hoping for and what Hayzer was hoping for, so he made the right decision in making sure his team won the cup,” Branch said. The Fort St. John product had been the No. 1 guy through much of the 19931994 season, but Passmore returned from injury and took over in the WHL playoffs and Memorial Cup. “There were tough times because we were in Laval [in 1994] and Don Hay came to me and said, ‘Look, Branchy, we’re going to get you in here. You’ve been a big part of this and I’m going to find a way to put you in,’ and it didn’t happen. That was OK because next year we had this [hosting the Memorial Cup] coming along,” Branch said. “The problem about goaltending is, and you can see it in the NHL, once one little thing gets into your head, it’s tough to get out. At that time, you didn’t have the sports psychologist to help talk you through it. You’re left on your own to figure it out.” See BRANCH, A22

Branch had catharsis in pros From A21

When the WHL expanded in 1995, Branch landed with the Calgary Hitmen, a bone of contention he no longer chews. “I found out there was already an agreement in place that the Hitmen could take me, if they didn’t touch anyone else on the team, and that was made earlier in the [1994-1995] season,” Branch said. “But even as hard as talking about some of these things is, there are still no regrets. I live a life now that’s just too good. It’s not about stuff or what you have, it’s about knowing who you are and how you handle it now. It’s just some of the questions bring up a lot of memories and emotions.” Branch ran into redemption six years after leaving Kamloops, winning a Central Hockey League title with a new set of

RANDY PETRUK

Blazers, the Oklahoma City Blazers, in 2001. “To go through playoffs again and to battle through injuries, battling adversity and overcoming it when you had battled it before and seemingly lost, winning that championship for me was a big step in me being able to, not bury what happened here, but change the focus and how I treated the situation,” said Branch, who was named MVP of the playoffs that year. “There is a fear of failure that takes over and it is totally inhibiting. That fear of failure is crippling. I was able

to play under it rather than worrying about what might happen.” Benching Branch in 1995 was not an easy decision for Hay. “Rod was a good goalie for us,” Hay said. “He paid his dues. We were patient with Rod and we felt comfortable making the decision. Everybody was happy that we won the Memorial Cup. Roddy showed he was a real good person and a real good teammate.” Hay made a similar move when coaching the Vancouver Giants in 2006-2007, opting to sit 20-year-old Dustin Slade in favour of 17-year-old Tyson Sexsmith. “Because of what had happened in Kamloops, it made me feel comfortable we were making the right decision in Vancouver,” Hay said. “The owner in Vancouver, Ron Toigo, was a little bit nervous, though.”

Vancouver went on to win the Memorial Cup on home ice at Pacific Coliseum. Branch is even in good company in the NHL. Rookie goaltender Matt Murray took over for veteran Marc-Andre Fleury and led the Pittsburgh Penguins to a Stanley Cup this season. “Parents, get your kids involved in something where they contribute to something larger, so they get the idea of teamwork because it stretches into every aspect of life,” Branch said. “All of these things that we can pick up from what I once thought was a bunch of glorified clowns, there is value in it. “It was just awesome to see the guys again in Vancouver. We picked up right where we left off, telling stories and cutting each other up about things that happened.”

Frank Fisico delivers a pitch in action for the Sun Devils earlier this season. Kamloops will play its first game tonight at 7:30 p.m.

Kamloops won 6-5 against South Jasper Place and 12-5 over Prince George, but lost 9-8 to Kelowna’s Central Okanagan Minor Baseball Association. The KMBA’s peewee AAA team finished fifth at the tournament, while the bantam AAA team failed to qualify for elimi-

nation play, finishing second in its pool. The bantams also lost a pair of league games, 6-0 and 13-3 to Vancouver Community. The association’s midget AA team fell in the semifinal of the Diane Cook Tournament in Newton, also on the weekend.

hard to swallow, but it’s the game.” In addition to having their full roster this weekend, the Sun Devils will have a significant Kamloops contingent in the lineup at KIBT. Chadwick said roughly seven players born and bred in the Tournament Capital will make appearances throughout the weekend. But it’s not just the locals who are craving a KIBT win. Pat Brown, who originally hails from Trail, but has played for the Sun Devils in KIBT since 2005, said it’s a weekend he looks ahead to every season. “It would mean quite a bit to me,” Brown said of winning a KIBT title. “To get a big victory in town at KIBT, it would be huge for us. It would just be a nice feeling.”

The Everett Merchants finished fourth and won $5,000 and the Northwest Honkers finished sixth to capture $3,000. Kamloops, meanwhile, went 0-3, but finished two runs back of the Studs in a 6-4 loss and was in contention, Chadwick said, in games against the Thurston County Senators and the Calgary Sidearm Nation. The Sun Devils lost those games 6-2 and 7-5, respectively. “It’s a plus, when you look at it, who we were playing with and who we were playing against,” Chadwick said. “To see their success and to see, hey, if we would have had this guy or that guy or if we would have stayed away from one bad inning, we’re in the money.

The Kamloops Sun Devils are a different team at Norbrock Stadium. So, home to the Kamloops International Baseball Tournament (KIBT) starting today, the club is aiming to improve on what has, thus far, been a tough summer. “It’s a big difference when we’re playing at home because there’s guys that aren’t travelling and guys that can’t get off of work at different times,” Sun Devils’ manager Ray Chadwick said. “It’s a totally different roster when we’re at home.” Kamloops will begin its attempt to capture its first title in more than three decades when KIBT begins today. The defending champion Seattle Studs take on the Northwest Honkers at 12:30 p.m. to open play. The Langley Blaze and Everett Merchants will play at 4 p.m., before the Sun Devils take to the diamond for their first game, against the Burnaby Bulldogs, at 7:30 p.m. The tournament will be played at Norbrock Stadium. Kamloops will also play tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. against the Honkers and Saturday at 4 p.m. against the Langley Blaze. Playoff action begins on Saturday night, with the championship final to be played on Sunday afternoon. The Sun Devils are looking to improve on a third-place finish at KIBT 2015, when the hometown club defeated the Everett Merchants 7-4 in the bronze medal game. But they’ll have to get through stiff competition to get there. Four of the six teams playing in KIBT 2016 finished in the money at the Grand Forks International Baseball Tournament last weekend. The Seattle Studs took home the $20,000 top prize, defeating the Burnaby Bulldogs 2-1 in the championship final to win their second title at the event in as many years. The Bulldogs took home $12,000 for second place.

MARSEILLE, France — Coach Didier Deschamps has challenged his players to write themselves into the history of French football today by beating Germany in their European Championship semifinal. France has not won a trophy since Euro 2000 and is bidding to reach the final of a major competition for the first time in a decade.

“We have a new page to write. The players can write it,’’ Deschamps said yesterday. “It’s blank now. We have to fill it tomorrow. ‘’ Germany has reached at least the semifinals in the past five tournaments, losing the Euro 2008 final and winning the 2014 World Cup. “I’m convinced the fans will be right behind us,’’ Deschamps said. “They’ll have their part to play and we’ll need them.’’ Kickoff is at KTWnoon.

LYON, France — Cristiano Ronaldo led Portugal into its second European Championship final, scoring with a powerful header and then setting up Nani’s goal soon after in a 2-0 win over Wales yesterday. The goals came in the space of three minutes early in the second half in Lyon, helping end Wales’ unlikely run to the semifinals in only its second-ever major tournament. Ronaldo equaled Michel Platini’s record of nine goals in European Championship football when he timed a prodigious leap to perfection and planted home a header in the 50th. The Real Madrid star then sent in a long-range shot that a sliding Nani diverted into the net from 10 metres. Ronaldo — a serial winner in club football — will get another chance to win his first trophy on the international stage, with Portugal playing France or Germany in Sunday’s final at the Stade de France.

Spectacular lake front property on the south end of Mara Lake in beautiful Shuswap, BC offering year round rec. opportunities. Crystal Sands is a gated, lake front development located at the south end of Mara Lake & the confluence of the Shuswap River. This unique location allows for both lake and river activities , including some of the best fishing on Mara lake and peaceful kayaking on the Shuswap River. Crystal Sands is a gated, fully serviced, 110 lot community with 24/7 on-site managers, security, paved roads and spectacular lake front properties. The development includes a children’s’ playground, baseball diamond, tennis court, 2 beach volleyball courts, a beautiful clubhouse for entertaining with pool table, shuffleboard, kid’s game room, full kitchen, bathroom and laundry facilities. The grounds are beautifully manicured complete with year round boat storage area at the rear of the development. There is also a 50 slip marina with a large concrete boat ramp for the exclusive use of owners in Crystal Sands. Owners of lake front lots also have the ability to moor their boats in front of their lots on private buoys if they choose. LS 45 truly is a one of a kind Shuswap Lake property on the most beautiful sand beach in the Shuswap (no pebbles). You step off the lot directly on to the sand beach. In late July, this spectacular white sand beach is approximately 80 feet deep from the lot line to the water and stretches for almost the entire length of the development. There are 47 lake front lake lots in the development so they rarely become available. The lot is fully serviced with water, electricity, propane gas, sewer, cable, high speed internet and is build ready. The development includes Visitor RV Lots as well as Visitor Parking. Our lot is 30 minutes from Salmon Arm, 40 minutes from Vernon and Silver Star Ski Resort, and just over an hour from Kelowna (airport), as well as minutes from hiking, quad, and snow mobile trails making it a year round vacation retreat. Lot owners may place an RV, Park Model, or build a cottage according to their wishes and needs. The lot is build-ready and fully serviced.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Audrey Therese Donahue June 13, 1960 - June 29, 2016

Audrey Therese Donahue lived, went to school and married in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. In 1988, she and her husband David Wolf moved to Kamloops. She was still in high school when she took a job in the field that would become her life-long love. She worked at CKBI-TV on the technical side. Her artistic abilities were recognized and she was asked to fill in for the graphics artist when he went on holidays. In the 1980’s, she worked for Telecable 10 (now Shaw Cable). She filmed, edited and produced programs for them. This allowed her to use and develop those creative skills which became her hallmark in photo and videography. Amusing puppet shows for children, showcases for local talent, and features of local events...these were all part of her job. She was much valued in the community for this work. In the mid-80’s she returned to CKBI-CIPA TV, where she directed commercials and the news. It was also in those early Prince Albert years that Audrey developed another skill that became important to her. She, her sis and a friend, would sneak onto the community skating rink at dawn when no one else was around. She became a superb skater and went on to play hockey in the women’s league in Kamloops. She attended many tournaments, was often mentioned as having achieved important scoring plays. She was a canny player both on defense and offence, and so enjoyed her times on the ice. While in her teens her brothers mentored her in the arts of motorcycle riding and mechanics, a pastime she enjoyed very much. Audrey delighted us with another skill. She crafted cartoons which featured family members, friends and pets. Many events are commemorated in these creations that reflect her wit, understanding and affection.

In the 1940’s mom and dad moved to Vancouver where they resided and raised their two children. Mom always worked, for several years at The Lions Gate Times newspaper in West Vancouver and for several years as office manager of a firm of architects in West Vancouver. Soon after moving to Vancouver, she and our father became very involved in the early days of the fledgling figure skating community in the Lower Mainland. It was here that she made many life-long friendships. She and dad skated in many ice shows with the Vancouver Figure Skating Club and, along with a couple of other skating friends, mom went on to start the BC Thin Ice magazine which is a publication now serving 115 skating clubs in BC and Yukon with a circulation of some 19,000. She worked long and hard to support the cause of figure skating. In 1971, after her two children had left home, mom went out on her own. She was brave and adventurous and she lived in the Lower Mainland, Victoria, Mayne Island, Chase, and finally Kamloops. After moving to the BC Interior, she decided to try new things and she got involved in theatre with the Chase Players, where she acted in several plays. She learned how to play the piano, recorder and ukelele and she started what became many years of volunteer work in Chase and Kamloops.

James was predeceased by his parents Harold and Jean Richey, nephew Connor Richey, best-friend Don Chambers and devoted dog Annie. James was born on November 13, 1949 in El Paso, Texas. Many of James’s most fond memories were made during summers in Cloudcroft, Texas, exploring for arrow-heads with his brothers. James was an intuitive craftsmen and artist, talented musician and avid hunter. He will be profoundly missed by those who love him. A Funeral Service will take place on Friday, July 8 at 11:00 AM, in the St. James Church in Clearwater, BC with Fr. Clinton Pendleton officiating.

First Memorial Funeral Service

Mom led a very active and productive life, was a hard worker, had an adventurous spirit, a good sense of humour and she had many good friends. She attended Rupert’s Land Girls’ School where she excelled in scholastics and athletics and won many awards. In 1936 she had the honour of being one of two girls chosen by the student body to represent the school at the Coronation of King Edward in London, England. In 1938 she was chosen as Head Girl of the school. Her yearbook described her as being “more than popular - she has been liked and looked up to by all of us”.

James is survived by his beloved daughter Lindsay Jean Richey, Lindsay’s mother Laura Richey, stepchildren Sarah MacLeod and Robin MacLeod, his brothers George (Jann) Richey, Steve (Lynn) Richey, Mike (Marilyn) Richey and Rob (Shelley) Richey, as well as numerous nieces and nephews, best-friend Lorraine and dear friend Tom.

A Celebration of Audrey’s Life will be held Saturday, July 9th, at Sahali Fellowship Church, 1565 Summit Drive, Kamloops at 10:00 am. A service will be held in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan at a later date to be announced.

We are sad to announce the passing of our lovely mom Linda Jocelyn Thacker on June 29, 2016. She was 95 years old.

She leaves behind valued friends and colleagues with whom she shared many good times.

Schoening Funeral Service

Linda Jocelyn Thacker

1949 - 2016

Audrey was gifted with intelligence, empathy, a great sense of humor that never deserted her even in the hardest times. She was a caring, beautiful and supportive sister, aunt and friend. She loved animals and adored her pets. Over the years the cats she adopted flourished in her care, among them Fuzzy, Peaches, Squirrel, Lucky and Kitcat. Every chance she had, she would explore her surroundings in her Toyota 4x4 (the trucks changed over the years but she always drove a Toyota). Max, Rosie, Tasha, Lobo (a noble German Shepherd), then briefly, Kelly, so tragically lost, and recently Hazel and Roxy, would accompany Audrey on her excursions. She took the most astounding photographs and her videos of those adventures still delight people who watch them on You Tube.

Some of our best times were the camping trips in the Rockies. We would all meet in lovely surroundings, catch up on events, and tell stories. We would laugh. There was so much fun and laughter.

James William Richey

On October 3rd, 1988, Audrey started working at CFJC in Kamloops. She was a switcher and director. She worked on many programs but by far her most important job was expertly switching and directing The CFJC Evening News. She helped at the Blazers games as well, as a camera person.

Each family gets 13 months of telephone counselling care available 24/7 as often as they wish. If they have a celebration or service the attendees will be able to have three (3) months of the same counselling. We care about this community.

Eventually health issues started to slow her down and change her life and in the last few years she has been very limited in what she could do. She spent her last 3 ½ years living at Bedford Manor where she formed many new friendships. Thanks go to all the caring staff at Bedford who helped mom maintain her independence. Mom passed away on June 29, 2016 at Ponderosa Lodge where she spent the last three months trying so hard to recover from a fall. We have so much gratitude for the amazing staff at Ponderosa. You are all truly amazing and we are so thankful for the wonderful care you gave to our mom. Special thanks go to Dr. Brenda Laupland who has cared for mom for several years, and who was there for her all through her final days, weeks and months. How could we have managed without you? Jocelyn is survived and will be greatly missed by her daughter Sally Cornies (Hap Ryan), her son David (Flor) Thacker, her two granddaughters Abbey Thacker and Amy Thacker (Mark Proznick), her great-granddaughter Alyssia and great-grandson Ethan and her best friend of over 60 years Mrs. Billie Mitchell. At mom’s request, there will be no service. A gathering of family and friends may be held at a later date. Jocelyn’s favourite charities were the Turtle Valley Donkey Refuge, where she sponsored a donkey named Hoss and the Kamloops SPCA. She loved donkeys and dogs!! Most important to our mom, always, was the welfare and happiness of her two children. Everything she ever did, she did for us. We will miss her so much.

ONE FINAL GIFT Scatter me not to restless winds, Nor toss my ashes to the sea. Remember now those years gone by When loving gifts I gave to thee.

Remember now the happy times The family ties we shared. Don’t leave my resting place unmarked As though you never cared. Deny me not one final gift For all who come to see A single lasting proof that says I loved... and you loved me. DJ Kramer

When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill When funds are low and debts are high And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing down a bit, Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.

Your Smile

Missing you

Timothy “Tim” James MacDonald August 29, 1952 - July 2, 2016 Tim passed away peacefully at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home on July 2, 2016, at the age of 63 years. He was born in Rossland, B.C. and moved to Kamloops with his family, at the age of four. Tim completed his education (gr. 1-12) in South Kamloops, and attended university in Vancouver. He decided to pursue a career as a realtor in Kamloops, and worked for thirty years as a member of the Canadian Real Estate Association. He retired in the fall of 2006 and enjoyed nearly ten years of golfing, fishing, travelling and having fun. Throughout his life Tim excelled in many school sports, including baseball, hockey and basketball. In addition he took up golf at a young age at the Kamloops Golf & Country Club, and it remained a passion for him throughout his life. Tim’s other great passion was his love of fishing, which he inherited from his mother Blanche. They often spent time together during his younger years fishing in the creeks around Kamloops. This led to many wonderful adventures in the rivers, lakes and coastal areas of B.C., as well as in Cuba, Mexico and Belize. Tim developed many great and lasting friendships through these fishing trips. Lovingly remembered by his wife Carol McWilliams, brother David, sister Terry (Len), niece Julie (Mike) and family and nephew David (Nicole) and family. Tim is predeceased by his mother Blanche MacDonald, father Donald MacDonald and brother Paul MacDonald. A very special thanks to the staff and volunteers at Hospice who provided such wonderful, compassionate care to Tim. They brightened his days and made his time there so much better. In lieu of flowers, please give generously to Hospice. A Celebration of Life will be held on July 23, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. at Schoening Funeral Service, 513 Seymour Street, Kamloops, B.C.

Never Quit

AUTHOR UNKNOWN

Though your smile is gone forever, And your hand we cannot touch, Still we have so many memories, Of the ones we loved so much. Your memory is our keepsake, With which we’ll never part, God has you in His keeping, We have you in our hearts.

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.

REMEMBER By Christina Rossetti

Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land; When you can go no more hold me by the hand, Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay. Remember me when no more day by day You tell me of our future that you planned: Only remember me; you understand It will be late to counsel then or pray. Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterwards remember, do not grieve: For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once I had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad.
