FIRE ON COLUMBIA

Driver fined for killing his former teacher in 2014 accident

Kamloops Fire Rescue crews made quick work of a blaze that broke out at about noon yesterday at the Travelodge Kamloops hotel downtown. Traffic headed westbound on Columbia Street was impacted for about an hour as firefighters mopped up the scene. KFR Assistant Fire Chief Dave McMahon said the fire likely started in the kitchen of the hotel’s restaurant, but the cause remains under investigation. There were no injuries reported.

CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops driver who struck and killed his former teacher on a residential street in 2014 said he thinks about the incident every day. Jordan Jones, 26, pleaded guilty on Tuesday to driving without due care and attention, a Motor Vehicle Act offence. Robert Petersen, a popular city music teacher, died on Nov. 15, 2014, after the bicycle he was riding down Springhill Drive struck the rear quarter-panel of Jones’ car. Court heard Jones was travelling up Springhill Drive, his vision affected by the PETERSEN evening sun low in the sky. He saw two vehicles ahead and thought he could safely turn into a townhouse complex. He did not see Petersen. “He was a well-respected music teacher in Kamloops,” said provincial court judge Stephen Harrison. “It turns out he was tragically known to Mr. Jones and was a teacher to him.” Harrison levied an $1,800 fine, what he said was a large amount for the offence.

Trouble-making residents of problem Brocklehurst home are gone, police say House on 13th Street believed to be linked to gangs was shot at last month Tenants at a 13th Street home who RCMP allege were criminally involved no longer live there, police said yesterday. RCMP responded last month to a report of shots fired at the home in the 900block of 13th Street. A shotgun was found in an alley. Several months prior,

police responded to what was reported as shots fired at the home but was determined to be fireworks discharged from a balcony. One week later, a 41-yearold man was arrested and later released. RCMP said he has links to organized crime. In a statement, Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said “unlawful resi-

dents of a problem residence have moved on.” “Officers found that there were up to five people living in the house without lawful right,” she said. “As a result of the investigation and with the co-operation of the homeowner, it was determined the people causing problems in the home

were not tenants but people using an empty suite illegally.” RCMP visited the house this week to confirm its tenants left the house, owned by local used car dealer Raquel Hernandez-Lazo. No charges have been laid as a result of any police investigation related to the house.

ROCK ON KTW reader Gordon Gore recently spotted this covey of chukars in a rock pile near the entrance to The Dunes at Kamloops golf course in Westsyde. The distinctive birds, native to Asia, can be found in many areas around Kamloops. The partridge relatives were introduced to North America in the 19th century and have established feral populations since then.

Ex-Ajax manager files suit against KGHM Clyde Gillespie’s lawsuit claims company abandoned him when he was the face of Ajax CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A former manager of KGHM Ajax claims he was the “public face of the project” and increased support in Kamloops for the proposed mine but was unfairly fired and abandoned in the midst of efforts to become a permanent resident of Canada. Clyde Gillespie is suing KGHM Ajax Mining Inc. in B.C. Supreme Court. His statement of claim alleges the company led him to believe he was to become the overall head of the Kamloops project, but the plan ran into problems because he is an American citizen. When Gillespie moved to Kamloops in May of 2014 to head project development, KGHM Ajax was forced to obtain a labourmarket impact assessment to show a Canadian could not be

hired to perform the job. “From March 2015 until his termination, Mr. Gillespie was the most senior KGHM Ajax employee based in Kamloops and was the public face of the Ajax project,” reads the statement of claim. Gillespie claims he entered into a new contract in July 2015 that would pay him $260,000 a year along with a 35 per cent bonus but the company soon discovered it needed to do a second labour-market impact assessment — something it did not want to do. KGHM Ajax has yet to file a statement of defence. None of the allegations have been heard or proven in court. The company decided to offer a third contract that would not require the labour-market assessment, but would still allow Gillespie to head the project.

He also claims KGHM Ajax hired a lawyer so he could obtain status as a permanent resident in Canada, something started in January this year. A series of events then transpired over a number of days in May, according to the statement of claim, when turmoil struck the Kamloops office: • Gillespie’s work permit expired May 22. • Two days later, Gillespie dismissed eight full-time employees here, something he claims was at the company’s direction. • On May 26, Gillespie met with KGHM Ajax’s CEO, Jan Peisert. “As a result of the Peisert meeting, Mr. Gillespie was led to believe that his job was secure,” the statement of claim said. • On May 27, Gillespie was told two senior KGHM managers were travelling to Kamloops “to put confidence back in the team.

Unbeknownst to Mr. Gillespie, the true purpose of the visit was to dismiss Mr. Gillespie.” • On May 31, Gillespie was fired and escorted out of the downtown building in view of remaining employees. The lawsuit claims Gillespie was vulnerable because his permanent residency was not yet in place. He also claims KGHM Ajax failed to properly compensate him for the dismissal. He is seeking damages for pain and suffering, loss of income and expenses to sell his Batchelor Heights home and move back to the United States. “KGHM Ajax dismissed Mr. Gillespie with full knowledge that Mr. Gillespie had relocated his family and bought a house in Kamloops in reliance upon KGHM Ajax’s inducements and representations,” the statement of claim reads.

MORTGAGE MATTERS PAYING OFF YOUR MORTGAGE FASTER For many Canadian homeowners, one of their highest financial priorities is to pay off their mortgage as quickly as possible. Making extra payments in the early years can shorten the life of a mortgage — and dramatically lower the mortgage interest costs you’ll pay over the long haul. Those extra payments can be a sacrifice, so here are some tips to help motivate you: TIP #1: Start small - Round up your payments Try adding $10 or $20 extra per payment, the amount of interest you are saving will make a difference over time, and it’s relatively painless to part with. TIP #2: Increase your payment annually to the most you can afford Most lenders will allow you to increase your monthly payment by 10%, 15% or even 20%. Increasing your payment means you won’t have to be disciplined to save up a lump sum payment, it will be added to your payment each month, and go directly against your mortgage principle. If you find the payments are too much, most lenders will allow you to reduce your payment to the original contract rate. A small fee may apply. TIP #3: Pay a lump sum whenever possible Lump sum payments are extra payments which go directly against your mortgage principle. Now remember, your monthly payment of interest and principle was based on you making NO extra payments – so in fact, because of your payment, less interest will accrue and now more of your regular monthly payment will go toward paying down mortgage principle. TIP #4: Invest in your mortgage for tax free savings If you prepay $1000 of your mortgage balance and your mortgage interest rate is 5%, you will save about $50 per year. Now, because of income taxes (estimated at 35%), you actually have to earn $77 to make $50 in real after tax dollars. An argument could be made that your $1000 payment/investment in your mortgage, actually pays a 7.7% return per year, not just 5%. Thats more than most GICs or bonds and the savings are not taxable! TIP #5: With variable rate mortgages, keep payments the same when mortgage rates fall If the payment amount has not been a problem, try keeping it the same and pay down the principal faster. TIP #6: Raise payments in line with increased income If your income increases, consider applying at least some of the surplus toward your mortgage. The long-term benefits of becoming mortgage free faster should be a strong motivator to make an increased mortgage payment. Don’t waste your hard-earned money on interest!

Homeowners Accused meth lab slammed by judge trio set over ‘abomination’ for court Shuswap property CRIME

CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Five days will be set aside next year for the preliminary hearing of three men RCMP allege were behind the largest meth lab ever found in Kamloops. Three men, Ikbal Shah, Joel Garrett and Derek Sadden, were charged after police raided what they say was a clandestine lab at a home on Pratt Road in Barnhartvale. After the arrests, RCMP told reporters the lab had the ability to produce roughly 60,000 doses of methamphetamine every 48 to 72 hours. Shah and Sadden together face six drug-related charges while Garrett faces two drug charges and three for firearms. The home was registered to Garrett. The Crown and lawyers for the three men determined this week a five-day preliminary hearing will be set in either spring or summer next year. Preliminary hearings are held to determine if there is enough evidence to go to a trial. The three men have elected to be tried in B.C. Supreme Court by judge alone. A date for trial will be set after the preliminary hearing.

‘Monstrosity’ must be deconstructed CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Homeowners in Blind Bay who built a towering retaining wall that encroached on a neighbouring property acted with “disdain and contempt,” a B.C. Supreme Court judge has ruled. Justice Nigel Kent handed down a judgement in a longrunning feud between neighbours at Shuswap Lake Estates in Blind Bay. He found house owners and builders Svend Lojstrup and John Jensen trespassed on their neighbour’s property as well as violated a subdivision building scheme and a Columbia-Shuswap Regional District bylaw. The pair were sued by Travis Drager and Dean Strong, who built their own home at Shuswap Lake Estates in 2007. In 2011, Lojstrup and Jensen bought the neighbouring property to the east. “Extensive retaining walls were installed on the west side of the site in order to support the creation of a flat building area and the defendants built a house which the plaintiffs and their neighbours have labelled

a ‘monstrosity’ and ‘abomination,’” Kent wrote. The defendants originally constructed the retaining wall on Drager and Strong’s property, moving it only when threatened with legal action. But the reconstructed wall nonetheless failed to meet a minimum setback from the neighbours’ home. “The plaintiffs’ objections to both the initial trespass and the setback encroachment of the replacement wall were treated by disdain and contempt by the defendants,” Kent wrote. Kent wrote Lojstrup, who now owns the home by himself, must deconstruct and move the encroachment on the setback area or compensate Drager and Strong. He also set a strict set of conditions and schedule if the two sides fail to come to a settlement that avoids deconstruction and replacement. The B.C. Supreme Court justice ruled Lojstrup and Jensen must pay $50,000 in general, special and punitive damages. “The conduct of each of the defendants has been arrogant and high-handed in the extreme,” Kent said.

Transport Canada will not probe Kamloops Airport runway mishap Transport Canada will not conduct an investigation into a failure of a light aircraft that resulted in it losing control on the runway of Kamloops Airport Monday. An Aviat Husky light plane spun on the runway when one side of the landing gear col-

lapsed after it touched down, about 10:30 a.m. on Aug. 8. Kamloops Fire and Rescue initially responded but crews were turned away when it was discovered there were no injuries. “The aircraft was damaged and it couldn’t move on its

Royal Inland Hospital’s new clinical-services building, housed in the same structure as the recently opened public parking garage, is slated to welcome its first patients on Monday.

Latest addition to RIH will see patients next week Clinical-services building’s grand opening set for September DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The new clinical-services building at Royal Inland Hospital is still on track to accept its first patients on Monday. Kris Kristjanson, RIH”s health-services director, said all areas that will deal with patients will be operational. Educational areas will still be waiting for some work to be done but that’s not an issue, he said, because the University of British Columbia medical students who will take classes and practise their eventual career aren’t using the facility yet. A grand opening is planned for sometime in September. Additional staff will be in place to help people find the areas they’re looking for in the building, Kristjanson said.

More staff have already been at the new parkade beneath the structure helping people familiarize themselves with the changes there. One change has come postopening that was not expected. When the new parkade at Royal Inland Hospital was being designed, a decision was made to ensure it could accommodate taller vehicles — up to heights of more than seven feet. It was also decided to have two exit lanes with kiosks to accept validated parking passes so the gate would go up and the visitors could head out. Good in principle but, in practical terms, drivers of those larger vehicles were having difficulty making the turn to the exit kiosk. To resolve what was discovered once the parkade opened

last month, the exit now has one lane and one kiosk — and plenty of room for all to access the equipment that must be used to see the gate rise, said Kristjanson. The parking payment system has changed, as well, he said. The previous system saw people required to estimate how long they would be at the hospital and pay up front. The new parkade system still works on a ticketing system but payment is not required until the person’s reasons for being at the hospital have ended, so they are not overpaying but paying for actual time spent there. New machines in all elevator halls will validate the tickets after payment is received. They will take credit or debit cards as well as cash — and can make change.

Body recovered from Drones get nod of approval for Kamloops Lake linked use in battling B.C.’s blazes to abandoned vehicle WILDFIRES

THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — Drones are about to be added to the fire fighting arsenal of the B.C. Wildfire Service. Spokeswoman Erin Catherall said the service has conducted two seasons of trials and is ready to put the remotely controlled aircraft to work. She said drones have already been an important part of the battle against recent wildfires in

“They’re able to detect really hard to find hot spots and give co-ordinates that crews can then use to assist with locating and extinguishing the hot spots within the fire perimeter,’’ Catherall said. Unauthorized drones operated by curious onlookers complicated firefighting efforts at several B.C. wildfires last year because they forced wildfire service helicopters to land rather than risk mid-air collisions.

northeastern British Columbia because they are cheaper and safer than piloted aircraft. They can also be used at night, when most helicopters and planes are grounded. Catherall said that allows firefighters to identify hot spots for immediate action at sunrise. The wildfire service also hopes the little aircraft will help with the efficient deployment of planes and crews during critical situations.

The B.C. Coroner’s Office is investigating after a body was found in Kamloops Lake. Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said foul play is not suspected. Kamloops Rural RCMP received a report on July 31 of a vehicle that appeared to be abandoned near the

Low water means low returns for Fraser sockeye TOM FLETCHER

BLACK PRESS

A low sockeye salmon return year is coming in even lower than forecast, with no commercial or recreational sockeye fisheries on the Fraser and marine areas and only aboriginal fisheries permitted by Canadian and U.S. authorities. The Pacific Salmon Commission met again this week to assess the run and whether its fishing restrictions should be revised for next week. Test fishing catches have been tracking below forecast for what was expected to be a low-return year on the four-year sockeye cycle, with the Early Stuart and other runs below expectations. The main summer run was calculated at 992,000

As of Aug. 4, the Fraser River water discharge at Hope was 20 per cent lower than the average for that date, with the temperature was 19 C, up 1.1 C from the average. Fisheries and Oceans Canada has begun its spawning escapement assessment programs. “Early Stuart sockeye

with no commercial take for aboriginal fisheries. U.S. aboriginal treaty fisheries have taken 900 fish. Federal Fisheries Minister Dominic LeBlanc said this week he is continuing to implement the Cohen Commission, established to study the collapse of the 2009 sockeye run. The 2010 run came in with a record 30-million fish, but the Justice Bruce Cohen’s commission reported a general decline in sockeye runs since 1990 from Washington state up the Central Coast, Skeena, Nass and up to Yukon’s Klukshu and Alaska’s Alsek Rivers. This year the Pacific Salmon Commission noted the effects of a warm North Pacific area called “the blob,” which affected marine food before it dissipated early this year.

DFO not in conflict on fisheries, LeBlanc says on in the Fraser River. LeBlanc was in Vancouver to provide a status update on the Cohen Commission’s report, reiterating a pledge outlined in his ministerial mandate letter to act on all 75 recommendations. The minister’s comments prompted some skepticism from stakeholders — Chief Bob Chamberlin of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs applauded the government’s declared commitment to the Cohen report but called some of its declared successes “disingenuous.’’ Chamberlin said while the department has technically followed the recommendation not to issue any more open-net salmon farms permits in the Discovery Islands, it has gone ahead and approved facilities nearby.

THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — Canada’s fisheries minister says he doesn’t see any conflict of interest with the government agency tasked with conserving wild fish stocks also being in charge of championing the salmonfarming industry. Dominic LeBlanc said the Department of Fisheries and Oceans’ mandate to preserve fisheries is fundamental to its responsibility to promote a sustainable salmon-farming sector. Removing industry promotion from the department’s mandate was one of the key recommendations from a 2012 report by B.C. Supreme Court Justice Bruce Cohen into the 2009 collapse of sockeye salm-

CONSIDER THE SOURCE ON SOCIAL MEDIA The irresponsibility and lack of accountability of social media and the increase in coverage by legitimate sources in the 24-7 news world are changing the way people view trends and could adversely affect public policy. According to Statistics Canada, the police-reported crime rate in Canada was at its lowest point in 2013 since 1969. The homicide and attempted murder rates are also at their lowest levels since the 1960s. Those who live on their phones, scan Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and other social media hourly, would likely be surprised by those facts. And they are also likely to ignore them. A less serious case in point: we noticed reports of increases in cougar and bear sightings in Parksville Qualicum Beach on local social media pages. When we checked it out with people in the know, we learned the number of such sightings is actually down in our region. We don’t profess to be the be-all, end-all of news sources. And we like a titillating tale as much as the next reader. But we do our best to check facts, provide attribution and present both or all sides to a story, whether it’s in the initial report or a follow-up. Media reports can and do lead to changes in government policy. Much like newspapers these days, municipal governments are pretty lean operations. They can’t be everywhere and can’t be expected to be experts, or have the time to research, every issue. Politicians have always been reactionary and, to a degree, that’s a good thing. But what are they reacting to and what are they getting taxpayer-funded staff to investigate? A hue and cry over something that’s not even close to being accurate? Someone on Facebook might demand action and public money because he/she believes a certain intersection is way too dangerous, when in fact there are a dozen other intersections that have statistics to show they should get tax-dollar attention first. There’s just not enough ‘consider the source’ going on when it comes to social media these days, and it could prove costly. — Parksville Qualicum Beach News

Things to make you go hmm

he trouble with summer for someone who writes a weekly column is that there isn’t a whole lot that happens that sparks much interest. Sure, there was the reaction I had when, having just walked in the door from two weeks of camping, my son greeted me with his opinion on Kamloops banning swearing. Nice to see you, too, son. However, after investigating — after unpacking the trailer and bags, loading up the washing machine and putting my feet up for a while to cope with the idea of back to work — it turns out that’s not the dumb brainwave of one of our councillors but some misunderstanding of a proposed nuisance bylaw coming from the city’s bureaucracy. No sense writing about it until the concept hits the council agenda. So, herewith, just a few observations about things going on that aren’t worth a column but which, in the immortal words of Arsenio Hall, might make you go hmmmm. • It’s been fun watching the reaction to Coun. Donovan Cavers explaining that he can make public statements in his alter-ego, regular Donovan Cavers. It’s a lot like saying Prime Minister Justin Trudeau can go shirtless in Tofino and not be seen as the prime minister

DALE BASS

Street

LEVEL going shirtless. Although I have to say, at the risk of incurring wrath from friends, at least Cavers stays true to his positions and opinions and doesn’t hide them away or flip-flop around with them. • Still with city council, it’s good to see our Mayor Peter Milobar and Kelowna Mayor Colin Basra talking about Interior Health Authority’s desire to create a supervised injection site in the region. Again, at risk of hearing a lot of negative feedback, research and experience in Vancouver has shown the value of places like this — and the reality is we need one. People will still overdose and die but we need to do something to reduce that risk. • More City Hall-related things: It’s great to see the city hire Marcia Dick as its solidwaste expert. She’s one of those people who, when she believes in something, she fully embraces it and, when necessary, pro-

motes it. Every time I put a second bag of garbage into our bin, I silently curse her for making me feel guilty that I can’t reduce that output as much as she and her family have done. And cheers to Ben Chobator and Jen Casorso for promoting accessible recreation to the point it’s got its own area in the City of Kamloops Activity Guide you all should have received with your newspaper this week. Perhaps Kamloopsians who take some of those programs might become our future Paralympians. • There are times when you can cover something that really has meaning for you. That happened this week with the announcement of the Jann Bailey Legacy Fund the Kamloops Art Gallery has created. Bailey was at first just the executive director with whom I would talk for stories but, through the years, she became a dear friend. It’s wonderful to see the work she did not just for the gallery but for the city itself being recognized this way — and especially great to see Mary Martin and Ron and Rae Fawcett kick-start it in a big way. The campaign runs to the end of October, the month that marks a full year since Bailey’s death. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

YOUR OPINION

LOCAL NEWS

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR WHEN WILL VOLKSWAGEN CANADA MAKE THINGS RIGHT? Canadian VW TDI diesel owners don’t know “ anything further about VW Canada’s plans to ‘make things right’ and probably won’t anytime soon.”

Editor: Remember Dieselgate, about a year ago, when Volkswagen admitted to cheating on emissions in their TDI “clean diesel” cars? As a result, resale prices tanked (assuming you can find someone to buy the vehicle), owners faced diminished value if involved in a total loss accident and the vehicles continue to pollute in excess of legal limits.

Ever since, Volkswagen Canada assured owners that they were working to make things right. VW diesel owners in the U.S. are well on their way to achieving a settlement with a preliminarily court-approved plan which includes a

variety of choices for TDI consumers, including buy-backs of offending vehicles. Apparently the federal government is still investigating VW but, at this point, no charges have been laid in one of the largest consumer fraud cases in Canadian his-

tory. So far, VW faces no fines here, unlike in the U.S. where the company must pay upwards of $15 billion to make things right. Canadian VW TDI diesel owners don’t know anything further about VW Canada’s plans to “make things right” and

probably won’t anytime soon. Greg Gordon Tobiano

DON’T ARM BYLAW OFFICERS EXPIRY DATE CHANGE LEAVES

Editor: Any discussion about Kamloops bylaw officers has to mention their lack of consistency: Some rules they enforce, some rule-breakers they ignore. They do not need to be armed. Rod Black Kamloops

ORGANIZATIONS SHOULD NOT LIMIT FREE SPEECH OF POLITICIANS Editor: In a recent paper you asked, “Should Kamloops Councillors be permitted to speak freely on issues regardless of a council position on the issues?” Perhaps a great related question would be, “Should we continue to support organizations that try to limit the free speech of local politicians?” That question might give second thought to the organization that criticized the free speech of a given councillor due to his political stripe. My two bits. John Sternig Heffley Creek

BUS PASS HOLDERS SHORTED Editor: I would like to ask Michelle Stilwell — the province’s minister of social development and the person overseeing the new B.C. disability bus pass program and the longoverdue increase for those on PWD — if she is going to reimburse $15 to each of the thousands of citizens with disabilities that has been stolen from them by changing the annual expiry date of the bus pass? The annual bus pass, which used to cost $45 per year and was in

effect to Dec. 31, now expires Aug. 31. Yet, all these people have paid for the pass until Dec. 31. Therefore, there is one-third of the year left which we have already paid for but are now being charged $52 per month beginning Sept. 1. I look forward to the minister letting me know how and when I (and all the others on PWD) can expect to receive this reimbursement. Linda Wall Kamloops

Harrison did not sentence Jones to a driving ban after lawyers advised B.C.’s Superintendent of Motor Vehicles is bound to do so. Jones’ driving record includes tickets for speeding, failure to stop at a red light and three instances of failing to display his “N” on his car. “It is not a good driving record, neither is it the worst,” Harrison said.

Jones is a professional hairdresser with a large clientele in the city. He recently moved to New Westminster. His lawyer, Jeremy Jensen, said Jones told him he thinks about the the tragic incident two years ago every day. “I can’t imagine how the family must feel,” Jones told the court. “I wish there’s more I could do. I’m just really sorry.”

House fire claims life in Pitt Meadows THE CANADIAN PRESS

PITT MEADOWS — Firefighters in Pitt Meadows have confirmed a house fire Tuesday evening claimed a life. The body of a man in his 40s has been found in the home, about 40 kilometres east of Vancouver. Fire Chief Don Jolley said two other people are recovering from smoke inhalation and one of them also has minor burns. He said there were smoke detectors and sprinklers in the home, but they weren’t working. Ridge Meadows RCMP remained at the home, in the 19100 block of Mitchell Road, through the night. Information about the cause of the fire has not been released.

VANCOUVER ISLAND

Whale watchers see battle off B.C. coast THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — A whalewatching association says a battle between some of the largest creatures in the seas off the coast of British Columbia appeared to end with the human equivalent of fist waving and name calling, although they can’t be sure of the outcome. Several whale-watching boats at the western edge of the Salish Sea off Jordan River on Vancouver Island spotted a group of transient orcas surrounding two adult humpback whales and a calf on Sunday. Mark Malleson. a whalewatching captain and marine researcher, witnessed the fight. He said in a news release issued by the Pacific Whale Watch Association that encounters between humpbacks and transient orcas, also known as

Bigg’s killer whales, rarely result in a kill. Transient orcas eat marine mammals but Malleson said it seems as if the species “just likes bugging’’ the much bigger humpbacks. Naturalist Valerie Shore also saw the standoff from another boat and said most of the action happened below the surface but there was huffing, puffing and occasional swipes of their tails from the humpbacks as they blocked access to the calf. She said the adult humpbacks finally chased off the orcas, but she and her crew suspect the calf may have suffered a torn tail, although they couldn’t get close enough to confirm it. “I’m not sure if the killer whales ever thought they were going to be able to take one of these humpbacks out,’’ said Malleson.

Quebec teen found dead after being swept away while fishing THE CANADIAN PRESS

NAKUSP — The body of a 19-year-old Quebec man has been pulled from a river in the Kootenays, 10 days after he disappeared. RCMP in Nakusp said searchers located the body of

Zacharie Blouin on Aug. 7. The teen had been camping with friends and was reported missing July 28 after failing to return to his campsite following an evening fishing trip at an area river. Some of his belongings were found along the bank of the

Halfway River, about 300 kilometres east of Kamloops, but there was no sign of the missing man. Police said the death is not suspicious. The matter has now been turned over to the BC Coroners Service.

HALIFAX — An out-ofcontrol wildfire near Kejimkujik National Park has grown yet again, Nova Scotia’s Natural Resources department said yesterday as crews grappled with challenging weather conditions. The department said the blaze in the Seven Mile Lake area had been about 15 per cent contained, even as it grew more than 100 hectares to 350 hectares. But Jim Rudderham, the province’s operations manager for forest protection, said that number is slightly deceiving. “The fire did increase its boundaries — its perimeter — but it’s good to remember that within this fire already, there were areas that had not burned,” said Rudderham. “They have burned now. So the fire hasn’t gone crazy big, it’s just consumed some of itself within itself and has gotten a little bigger as well.’’ Forecasters were predicting unfavourable fire-fighting conditions yesterday, making for what the province calls “extreme fire activity.’’ “It’s a beautiful summer day if you’re on vacation. For firefighters, it’s going to be very bad,’’ said Rudderham. “It’s going to be clear and warm and with low humidity and a nice breeze, and that’s exactly what fire needs to grow.’’ Smoke from the fire was moving across the province, reaching the Halifax area. It has affected air quality in Annapolis, Kings, Lunenburg and Queens counties, the province said. The government said crews, including 20 firefighters that were expected to arrive yesterday from New Brunswick, will be focused on building guards and reinforcing lines to prevent the fire from growing. Among the equipment being used in the fight is an air tanker

disappointed in the verdict and will file the appropriate motions and appeal.’’ A day earlier, Talkin told jurors in a closing argument that Davis was not guilty. “There is no fraud here,’’ he said as he portrayed his client as among heroes in the rebuilding of the tallest skyscraper after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Prosecutors said Davis falsely claimed he had complied with rules requiring that he hire subcontractors who qualified for a program meant to benefit businesses owned by minorities and women. The government said Davis submitted false payroll records from 2009 through 2012 to make it seem he was complying with the rules. In a closing argument this week, Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Lee Boone said Davis tricked the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey into thinking that a man and a woman headed companies that qualified for the program because they were legitimate business owners when they were not. The prosecutor said Davis and his company, DCM Erectors Inc., did it so they could qualify for millions of dollars in credits for using businesses headed by minorities and women. The government said DCM, which Davis has owned since at least 1999, was awarded a US$256 million contract in 2007 to work on the trade centre building and a US$330 million contact in 2009 to help construct the transportation centre next to it. Prosecutors said changes in the scope of the work boosted the value of contracts to nearly US$1 billion. The program to benefit minorities and women requires contractors to make good faith efforts to enter into subcontracts worth at least 17 per cent of the overall contract with businesses owned by women and minorities.

Researchers examining toll of war on Syrian refugee children CASSANDRA SZKLARSKI

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Beginning a new school year can be an anxious time for some children. For those shattered by early psychological trauma, it can be especially fraught with emotion. A study underway at Western University is examining how the war-torn experiences of newly arrived young Syrian refugees might affect their ability to cope in the classroom, and researcher Mazen El-Baba hopes the findings will go a long way towards improving everything from teachers’ lesson plans to community programs to government policy. He said many new arrivals have not been to school in years and will almost definitely struggle in September. “My fears are of the teacher not being able to understand where to begin,’’ El-Baba said

of what sparked the study, still in its data-gathering phase. “It’s different than teaching another kid the basics because [here] you’re dealing with more mature children who are well aware that their level is way behind their actual class. There’s a lot of difficulties. I really, really hope the school boards are prepared for it.’’ He pointed to a nine-yearold he knows who will enter Grade 5 despite not knowing what plus and minus are, and a 16-year-old who will enter Grade 10 despite only having a Grade 5 education. Then there’s bullying, which he calls “a huge, huge problem’’ given the experiences of some Syrian kids who ventured into Canadian classrooms this past spring. “All the kids we know that went to school, all the parents were telling us: ‘We need help in September because our kids are being beaten up and spit at at school,’” he said.

“I know a six-year-old who was being hit by various other [kids] in his class.’’ The study involves 81 children and a battery of tests conducted in English and Arabic. They include tests to assess numerical fluency and cognition, language proficiency, impulsivity, and how subjects respond to positive, negative or neutral feedback. It’s part of a larger research project that also studied kids with typical upbringings in the London, Ont., area, said supervisor J. Bruce Morton, an associate psychology professor and principal investigator at the university’s Brain and Mind Institute. Morton noted the focus of the study isn’t unique, pointing to a large study from Harvard University that analysed the psychological profile of children from Romanian orphanages. “People are coming at this with somewhat more specific

hypotheses and better measures perhaps for identifying the impact of adversity on the developing mind,’’ Morton said of differences in this study. “Looking, for instance, at the relationship between trauma and attention control, so how long can children remain focused on the task before they’re kind of ready to move on and do something different? Or how long can they sit still?” But they’re not just looking at where things can go wrong. Morton said he hopes the study can shed light on what can make a child succeed, despite the odds. “There are going to be other kids who are going to be amazingly resilient and are going to flourish and adapt relatively well to their new social and cultural environment,” he said. “And those kids, I think, are also equally valuable to study.’’

Calgary man charged with importing deadly synthetic drug from China Carfentanil is 100 times more powerful than fentanyl, investigators say THE CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — RCMP have charged a Calgary man with importing a dangerous synthetic drug that can be 100 times more powerful than deadly fentanyl. Canada Border Services Agency staff seized a package containing one kilogram of carfentanil that came from China, enough for 50 million doses. “It is very dangerous,” RCMP Insp. Allan Lai said. “This is serious enough that we do have to prevent this from coming into our country.” The synthetic opioid is

used to sedate elephants and other large animals but has been showing up in heroin around the world. RCMP said it is hard to imagine what this drug would do if even a small amount made its way to Canadian streets. The CBSA said the package containing the drug was intercepted in Vancouver on June 27. The package was marked as containing printer accessories. The white powder was sent to a lab that confirmed the substance was carfentanil. Officials said the public was never at risk.

RCMP and Calgary police then began investigating. Joshua Wrenn, 24, has been charged with importing a controlled substance and possession for the purpose of trafficking. He is to appear in Calgary provincial court on Oct. 19. Carfentanil is the latest synthetic opioid to cause concern in Canada. Fentanyl has been linked to hundreds of deaths in Canada, including 443 in Alberta since 2014. The NDP government passed a law this year to ban machines that make pills of illegal drugs such as fentanyl. Last month, British Columbia asked the federal

government to help it crack down on fentanyl overdoses that have been classified as a public health emergency in the province. Fentanyl has been linked to 371 deaths in B.C. this year. RCMP warned that carfentanil is worse, calling it one of the most powerful opioids known. “It has a quantitative potency 100 times that of fentanyl whereby a minute dose of as little as 20 micrograms could be fatal to an average human,” police said in a release. “There is no known application where carfentanil would be safe for human use.”

Western Canada was not route of early North Americans: study

Researchers say the area could not sustain vegetation for first American people BILL GRAVELAND

THE CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — A commonly held belief about the route taken by the first humans to arrive in North America may be turned on its ear after an international study released this week. It is thought the migration of the first people into the Americas from Siberia occurred via the Bering Land Bridge through a corridor in what is now Western Canada. The area was opened up by the retreating ice sheets at the end of the last ice age between 14,000 and 15,000 years ago. But a study — “Postglacial viability and colonization in North America’s ice-free corridor’’ — published in the latest issue of Nature casts doubt on that theory. “There was no vegetation, animal life or wood in the central parts of the corridor

before 12,600 years ago,’’ said the study’s lead author, Eske Willerslev, from the Centre for GeoGenetics, Natural History Museum of Denmark at the University of Copenhagen. Willerslev and his international crew, including a number of Canadian scientists, analyzed nine sediment cores from Charlie Lake and Spring Lake in British Columbia and Alberta — the last areas of the corridor to thaw. Their research, based on plant remains and environmental DNA, reveals the landscape couldn’t support human life until about 2,000 years after the first humans were recorded in North America. Willerslev said there was no vegetation or animals, such as bison and mammoth, that were an important food source hunted by early Americans. “It shows that the first humans to occupy the

Americas south of the big ice sheets covering most of northern North America during the last ice age could not have come through the interior ice-free corridor, whether you believe these first humans were Clovis or earlier,’’ Willerslev said. “It first became viable for travelling and survival around 12,600 years ago. “You have archaeological sites in the U.S. and Chile that are at least some 2,000 years older.’’ The Clovis were thought to be the first people to settle in North America around 13,500 years ago, at the end of the last ice age. But spearheads and DNA from a group predating the Clovis, were found at the Paisley Caves in Oregon and found to be as old as 14,000 years. Willerslev now believes the most logical route the early humans took was along the

western edge of the North American continent including Alaska, British Columbia and Oregon. He said 14,000 years ago, most parts of North America would have been under ice with the exception of Alaska and the Yukon. The next step in the research would be to explore the coastal route using the same technological approach, if possible, he said. Willserslev said many in the scientific community he’s spoken to are excited about the research but there are others unlikely to accept a different point of view. “Some scientists will go to their graves with their original beliefs independent of the evidence. But that’s all right,’’ he said. “What matters is what the majority view is. That sets the mindset of the next generation of researchers.’’

Lawsuit says Pokemon Go is a breach of privacy THE CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — A potential class-action lawsuit has been filed against the creator of Pokemon Go on behalf of an Alberta property owner who says she’s suffering from an invasion of privacy. The lawsuit on behalf of Barbra-Lyn Schaeffer has been filed in Calgary and has not yet been certified class-action by the courts. Schaeffer and her husband said they have been inundated by Pokemon Go players at their home in the hamlet of Torrington, 160 kilometres northeast of Calgary. She said she has no idea why her home is the site of a Pokemon gym, where players can duel it out. Schaeffer raises dogs and said the canines are unhappy about the unwelcome prowlers — especially at night. She said she asked Niantic, the creator of the game, to remove her residence as a so-called Pokestop but received only an automatic reply from the company.

New Brunswick house hit by cars at least nine times, owner says ROB ROBERTS

THE CANADIAN PRESS

FREDERICTON — Maureen Noble can’t quite recall exactly how many cars have hit her house — she didn’t start counting until about 25 years ago. “At least six since the early ‘90s that have hit the house and done serious damage,’’ the New Brunswick retiree said yesterday. “Three or four

before that. . . . You kind of lose track after a while.’’ Her home sits on a sharp curve in Tracy, N.B., 40 kilometres south of Fredericton. It’s currently undergoing repairs from a July 8 crash, when an out-of-control Ford came in sideways and went out the other side, taking shelves full of jars of pickles and jams with it. She is asking for

the intervention, again, of the provincial Department of Transportation, which added “sharp turn’’ signs and lowered the speed limit to 30 kilometres per hour after a 2009 crash in which a car went into a storage area at the front of the house. It also bumped the living room window, under which her husband Terry was sleeping, although he was unhurt.

That crash came after a 2007 incident in which a car carrying five people drove into the house, with one girl hospitalized with back injuries for several days. Two other times during the 1990s, cars lost control in winter conditions and came into the house. “I just can’t understand why — well, speeding basically is part of the reason,’’ Noble mused. “I think people are just driving faster.’’ Sarah Bustard, a spokeswoman for the provincial Transportation and Infrastructure Department, said yesterday the government is aware of Noble’s concerns and the matter is under review. The Nobles have lived in the house since 1971. She’d like the province to install a yellow flashing light, a guardrail or even rumble strips.

Wine tastings should be like mullets — business in the front, party in the back time. Having your friends over for a wine tasting should be an even greater time. Let’s face it — if you are getting advice from this column, you are never going to be a professional wine drinker. So when you gather your peers to sit down and sip wine, it should be a good time, first and foremost. The success of our decade-long wine club comes from finding the balance between drinking wine and learning about the science of oenology. Ready to plan your first tasting? Here are my best tips for a great night: • Pick a theme and assign some wines. This way you get a good variety or you can really compare different bottles. • Invite eight to 10 friends. More is just too many to keep it contained. Plus, more than 10 wines makes

A wine tasting should be like a mullet — business in the front and party in the back. We spend the first half of the night trying a small sample of each wine and then, after we have made it through them all, return to our favourites and enjoy a glass or two. We each bring an appetizer or dish that compliments our wine as well, so there is plenty of good food to go with our vino. Our club is structured so everyone participates. Each guest pours the wine they brought and then we all do our best swirl, sniff, sip. All we know when we first sample is the varietal and maybe the country of origin. The rest is a mystery and it’s up to us to pick out what we are experiencing and articulate it. We chat about what we taste and smell, guess what might be the most distinctive

aspects and critique away. Then, the person that brought the bottle reads out all the info on the label and anything else they know about the wine. Only then do we hear the price. After that, we rate the wine out of six (because the first time we did this the Olympics were happening and figure skating was top of mind — true story) and I divide it all up and get our average rating. At our first tasting, I gave each guest a small notebook to record their findings. Since then, I only make note of the wines I really like. Too many notes sucks all the fun out of everything. Once we have made it through all our bottles and decided our favourites, it’s open bar and everyone sits back with a glass of their favourite and gets down to enjoying the rest of our night.

he Kamloops Writers Festival is returning after a one-year hiatus. Authors Richard Wagamese, Ashley Little, Elizabeth Bachinsky and Michael V. Smith will present at the event, running from Nov. 4 to Nov. 6. Organizers took last year off as the committee parted from the Kamloops Arts Council, forming the Kamloops Society for the Written Arts. Society president Lindsay Curry said the festival’s growth since 2010 and the need for more funding drove the change. Under the council, the festival was limited

in terms of grant funding because the two were considered the same organization. As its own entity, Curry said the opportunities for continued growth are much greater. This year, the society received grants from the BC Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts but,

Curry said, there are untapped resources at their finger tips. “I think our potential is huge,” she said. “It was our first year applying for grants and when we applied for the Canada Council grant they said ‘Oh, is that all you want?’ So, I think, there is a huge potential and there are grants all over the place, particularly for writing events.” In lieu of a festival last year, the newly formed society held a one-night fundraiser

to help collect seed money for the 2016 festival. This year it is offering a-la-carte pricing so attendees can buy tickets for individual sessions. Curry hopes this will make the event more accessible. The society is hoping to see a sold-out event, which is already running at nearly full capacity for the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre. If interest continues to grow, it could be the last year the festival is held there.

“As the years have gone by, we’ve had so much more interest and we’ve been able to expand what we’ve offered because we’ve had so many people that have expressed an interest in writing,” Curry said. “There are so many writers in the region.” The event has always aimed to attract a cross section of readers and writers interested in both fiction and non-fiction. “I think anyone who is interested in writing will get something out of it because skills cross genres,” Curry said. Wagamese writes memoir and fiction, Little writes young adult literature,

Bachinsky is a poet and Smith writes poetry, fiction and nonfiction. Friday night will feature a panel discussion with all the writers. Workshops with each author will run on Saturday and Sunday and free readings will be offered on Sunday at the Downtown Kamloops Library. “I think for the workshops, the readers can get a sense of why the authors write the way they do and get a bit more of an understanding of what goes into the writing process,” Curry said. “In some ways the workshops will be probably more appealing for the writers

out there because it’s a way to learn about their craft, it’s getting to make contacts within the writing world, having an opportunity to learn about how to write better and how to engage readers and how to make your story or your poem or your play or whatever you’re writing compelling.” Tickets went on sale this week.

FUNDING BAILEY’S LEGACY DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

With two substantial donations from local philanthropists, a new fund named for the former executive director of the Kamloops Art Gallery is more than half-way to its goal. At a press conference announcing the creation of the Jann LM Bailey Legacy Fund, gallery acting executive director Margaret Chrumka said Ron and

Rae Fawcett, along with Mary Martin, have helped move the project toward its $28,000 goal — $1,000 for each of the years Bailey was with the gallery. The money will be used for children and youth education, a cause that was dear to Bailey throughout her career, Chrumka said. In an average year, the gallery would see between 600 to 800 students visit through its school program and another 1,000 to 1,200

take part in other studies programs it offers. Chrumka said part of the gallery’s mandate is an obligation to “nurture that artistic side of people to make your own mark.” The fund will be held in trust by the B.C. Interior Community Foundation, which already oversees two other gallery-related endowment funds, one created by Bailey years ago to assist with buying art for the facility at 465 Victoria St., and one created by the gallery itself to build a financial base for future needs. “Galleries our size in the U.S., more than 50

per cent of their operating costs are often covered by endowment funds,” Chrumka said. That fund has more than $200,000. As per Bailey’s habit annually, if there are any funds left over after each fiscal year, they go into the fund. As for the $28,000 goal, Chrumka said she’ll be thrilled if the final tally goes above that mark. All donations over $20 will receive a taxdeductible charitable receipt. Donations can be made online at kag.bc.ca/supportus/ donations or by calling the gallery at 250-3772400.

The window into their love ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

wo of Kelsey O’Bray’s co-workers came rushing around the side of the former Bank of Montreal building on Victoria Street on Friday afternoon with important news: “She’s in position.” Six stories up, O’Bray was preparing for a mysterious three-hour meeting with her boss in the boardroom of her law office. Unknown to her, the meeting had actually been booked by Brandon Lazar, her boyfriend of nearly two years, who was now in the process of guiding a window-washer lift up the side of the building, an engagement ring in his pocket. Once he reached the correct floor, Lazar snagged a booklet of pre-written flash cards off the floor that ended with the big question: Will you marry me? Lazar, owner of A Plus Gutter and Window Cleaning, said it only seemed natural to use the equipment from his business to add some flair to his proposal. “I just wanted to do something big and extravagant,” he said. That started with booking the meeting three months earlier and roping in O’Bray’s assistant and boss to help clear her schedule for the afternoon. On the ground, his younger brother, Taylor, hooked a camera to the window-washing rig to help capture the moment,

while a former roommate hid in the hallway outside the boardroom to get the other side of the proposal — and help Lazar keep track of the movements in the room via an earpiece. “The glass is completely mirrored so I couldn’t see her whatsoever,” Lazar admitted with a laugh. It wasn’t until he reached the end of his cards that he caught a flash of movement inside. As part of the plan, he’d printed two additional cards and had them placed them in a folder on the boardroom table. They read ‘Yes’ and ‘No.’ “I could just faintly see the yes,” Lazar said. “That was the only thing I saw through my entire presence through the air there. It was kind of nice, that that was the only thing that got through. That’s the important one.” Speaking to KTW only a few minutes after getting engaged, O’Bray said she was still in shock. “I just thought maybe he was washing the windows here today and it was a surprise. But then, when everyone started running around and acting weird, I kind of figured it out,” she said. The couple met when a mutual friend brought O’Bray to a barbecue at Lazar’s house. They developed an immediate connection. “We always just felt the other was very special, like no one else we’d ever met,” said O’Bray.

Fill boxes with gifts for kids fleeing violence DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

There’s rarely a week when the Y Women’s Emergency Shelter doesn’t have children staying there. It’s a reality for the facility, said family support worker Alix Dolson, because the shelter’s mandate is to serve women with children who are fleeing from violence.

there is “noAnd other place for women with children to go in the city.

”

— ALIX DOLSON, FAMILY SUPPORT WORKER

“And there is no other place for women with children to go in the city,” Dolson said. It leads to another reality — often these children and youth

mark birthdays while staying there. The Empty Toy Box campaign helps bring some happiness to those moments. In its fifth year, the project involves boxes at eight locations in the city where people can drop off toys or gift cards that shelter staff can use to make the special days for children there a bit brighter. Gift cards are par-

ticularly good, Dolson said, because moms can be more involved and use them to buy their children gifts. Toys must be nonviolent, something that is easier done for girls than boys, another reason why gift cards are a good option. Certificates for movies, swimming or other activities that would appeal to teens

are also appreciated, Dolson said. The campaign runs to the end of the month. Boxes are at Kamloops This Week (1365B Dalhousie Dr.), the Downtown YMCAYWÇA (400 Battle St.), John Tod Centre Y (150 Wood St.), Lizzie Bits (450 Lansdowne St.), Tumbleweed Toys (Sahali Mall) and Kamloops Dodge (2525 East TransCanada Highway).

their lives, more than 13,000 residents were evacuated, more than 5,000 homes and business properties were damaged and, in some cases, destroyed. In excess of 170,000 converged on the small town and spent six months cleaning up the ugly mess. This is a family town, where people look out for and look after their neighbours — and it has undergone a remarkable revival.

Its team spirit inspired Subaru Canada — one of the smaller auto manufacturers — so much it chose the location to launch the 2017 Forester. Subaru invited auto writers from across Canada to share this success story. We drove through the areas most damaged by the flood — whoops, sorry to use the F word — and marvelled at the building boom.

The number of open-for-business signs on stores was impressive, some of which had doors scarred by tide marks where floodwaters once lapped. Subaru also believes its sport ute suits the outdoors lifestyle of the folks proud to call High River home. No fancy presentation centre for this launch — no, we entered the Bob Snodgrass Recreation Centre, where the

through a stream, likely the last time a brand new familyowned Forester would be required to show its off-road cred. Time to chow down at the local ranch. The 2017 Forester has nine trims available — a great deal of choice — that start at $25,995 for the 2.5i with six-speed manual transmission (unique among all-wheel drives) and range to $39,495 for the 2.0XT Limited with technology package.

STAFF REPORTER

en Hitchcock doesn’t sound like a man ready to step away from being a head coach in the NHL in a year’s time. His St. Louis Blues are chasing a Stanley Cup and it took little prodding for the 64-year-old to become impassioned speaking about the 2016-2017 campaign. He loves the roster, laden with experienced youth, a desirable combination, and Hitchcock’s eyes lit up when asked about the challenge of improving on last season, in which the Blues shook the label of first-round flops and reached the Western Conference final. “I’m always going to be passionate about coaching, about leading,” said Hitchcock, who was in town last week for the Kamloops Blazers’ alumni golf tournament. “What we learned last year you can’t measure, you can’t measure with words, you can’t measure with video. “We learned how

Ken Hitchcock has said next season will be his last as a head coach in the NHL, but told KTW his final decision will be made in June. Until then, his sole focus is hoisting the Stanley Cup with the St. Louis Blues.

hard it is to win when you’re playing against really good teams who have as much at stake as you do. That’s all about sacrifice.” For the former Blazers’ bench boss, that sacrifice is a yearround deal. The work never stops. To stay current is to stay busy — and Hitch has been doing it for 40 years. It’s the only reason he held up one finger when Blues’ general manager Doug Armstrong asked him how many years he has left in charge, although the door on a return doesn’t seem to be slammed shut. “The decision I made is that I want the freedom to make

a decision that might not involve coaching,” Hitchcock said. “I’m my own worst critic. I’m harder on myself than I am on anybody or anything. If I feel like I’m not 100 per cent locked in, then I want the ability to say no. If I feel like I’m locked in, then I’ll talk to myself at the end of the year. That’ll be a decision that I’ll make hopefully in June.” What happens on the ice between now and then will likely play a part in Hitchock’s coaching conundrum — should he stay or should he go? — and he is certainly locked in on 2016-2017. “There’s a very good chance we won’t have

one rookie make our team and yet we’re young,” he said. “Playoff experience is only relevant if you win. If you lose, every time you’re up against it, you’re going to think it’s too hard. That’s the wall. I’m hoping that we made some progress on punching through. “You have to be able to look at yourself, look at each other and decide: Are we willing to go the extra gear that it takes to win in the playoffs?” To bring a championship to St. Louis, which joined the league in 1967 and is the oldest NHL team never to have won a Stanley Cup, would be the ultimate payoff.

$7,500 STUDENT HIRING GRANTS

Even more sacrifice is required to get there, Hitchcock said: “More people playing better when it’s on the line. More people more committed. More people more diligent. More detail. More focus. Everything has to be better.” That’s the only thing he’s worried about right now. Any other decisions can wait. “I want this to be my best year,” Hitchcock said. “I don’t look at it as the first, middle or last. “We spent six years building this thing in St. Louis and we’ve built a really good product. I want to keep it going. I don’t know how I’m going to feel in June.”

Megan Dalke of the Kamloops Classic Swimming club won a bronze medal at the Canadian Swimming Championships in Edmonton.

National bronze ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

As Megan Dalke made the turn into her final 50 metres at the 2016 Canadian Swimming Championships in Edmonton last weekend, she knew she had a medal within reach. As the 17-year-old Kamloops Classic Swimming club member pushed off the wall, entering the homestretch of the 200-metre butterfly, she could see she was in line with the group at the front of the pack. She went on to touch the wall third, in a club-record time of 2:17.88. Dalke won a bronze medal at the national meet, a competition featuring the country’s best swimmers, regardless of age, capping off her career as a Classic with a podium finish. “It was a good experience,” Dalke said of the meet, her third senior national championship. “I had a little bit more experience and I wasn’t as nervous for big swims. I was just going into my races a little more confident.”

Triathlon club wants new name MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

Kam Kids Tri Club (KKTC) is what’s in a name — and it’s a boring mouthful. That’s why the local youth triathlon club is hosting a naming contest online, said head coach Kara Wright. “It’s really long to type, but also, regionally, all of the other youth triathlon clubs are cool things like the Tri Monsters or Tri Power. They Nathan Kwiatkowski put everything he had into the 2012 Kamloops Kids of Steel Triathon.

have a catchy name, a logo and matching team kits. “That’s where we’re trying to go, with a name that denotes strength and pride that we can all get behind.” The contest is being held through Survey Monkey and a link to provide submissions can be found online at kamloopsthisweek.com. Entrants already include Thompson Nicola Triathlon (TNT), Triceratops, the Racing Tigers and Kamloops Coyotes Triathlon Club (KCTC). The contest winner will receive complimentary entry to the Kamloops Kids

of Steel or Spring Sprint triathlons next May, a free bike tune-up at District Bicycles, a pool pass from the City of Kamloops and a T-shirt from Crock of Shirt. An offshoot of the Kamloops Triathlon Club, the KKTC is in its first year and members are preparing for the Summerland Kids of Steel Triathlon on Sept. 4. This year, the club’s schedule usually consisted of four or five practices leading up to race days. In 2017, the plan is to have regular practice times throughout the season. “It kind of took off this

year and we’ve had tons and tons of interest,” Wright said. “In the leadup to the Kids of Steel Triathlon [in Kamloops in May], we had 55 kids showing up. Last session we had 15 kids, but I expect to get more than that out to the Summerland race.” Triathletes ages five to 16 are invited to join the club.

TRU welcoming new sports facilities Construction of multi-sport playing surfaces to the west of the Old Main building at Thompson Rivers University will cost about $200,000 and is expected to be completed in September.

ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Expect campus recreation to get a boost at Thompson Rivers University this fall. The university has announced it will add two multi-sport playing surfaces to the campus this fall, both of which are expected to open in the middle of September. The outdoor facilities will be installed on the campus green to the west of the Old Main building and will be marked for pickleball, basketball, volleyball and ball hockey. A grass volleyball court is also being installed. “Our big thing with it is it’s a great opportunity to grow our recreation program and to grow our on-campus life,” said Ken Olynyk, TRU’s director of athletics and recreation. “We want to try and keep kids on campus and run programs for them.” The surfaces are being installed in response to student demand, TRU said in its announcement of the project. The university has not added any recreation facilities to its campus since the Tournament Capital Centre was opened in 2007. Olynyk said the facilities

Photography Camp aren’t expected to be a significant boon for TRU’s WolfPack athletics programs, though they will provide extra space for summer sport camps. Instead, the project will primarily benefit the more than 1,500 students involved in university recreation programs and is expected to grow the school’s offerings. “We’re pretty excited about that,” Olynyk said of the recreation department’s size, adding that more than 1,000

of the university’s students are also members of the TCC. “In terms of programming and our recreation and our student usage, it only helps and it only grows it.” He noted an additional benefit from the surfaces may come in the winter. The school has tried for roughly five years to build an outdoor ice rink and these facilities may make that dream a reality. Construction has yet to

begin on the project, though its future home has been fenced off in preparation. The trees residing in the space will be relocated to other areas of the campus. According to Matt Milovick, TRU vice-president of administration and finance, the project comes with a price tag of roughly $200,000. Drainage issues in the area, along with relocating the trees, added additional costs to the project.

Adios A-Rod — Yankee to play final game tomorrow NEW YORK — Alex Rodriguez’s tempestuous relationship with New York Yankees fans comes to an end tomorrow when he plays his last game in pinstripes and he is making his exit without much of the adulation lavished on some hometown stars. Despite 351 home runs for the Bombers, and just four short of 700 for a career, his big-money contracts and off-field antics made him a less-thanbeloved character for some, even before his suspension for drug use. “I can’t say I feel bad for him,’’ said John Wilmore of Huntington Station, N.Y. “He’s made millions and millions of dollars. He’s going to be very rich for the rest of his life, but there’s something compelling there. You know, why did you mess up so much? Why did you do the things you did? You probably didn’t need to do it to be great.’’ A 14-time all-star, A-Rod trails only Barry Bonds (762), Hank Aaron (755) and Babe Ruth (714) on the career home run list, and his tenure with the Yankees was as substantial and productive

he played the right way, or even semi-the right way; everybody knows athletes do certain things. It is what it is.’’ Steve Rosenstock of Springfield, N.J., said Yankees fans always viewed A-Rod as the opposite of beloved shortstop Derek Jeter, who was treated to a season-long victory tour when he retired after the 2014 season. “Most people see right through him. He’s fake, disingenuous,’’ Rosenstock said. “When A-Rod’s talking, you can’t trust anything he says. He’s a ‘me’ guy, but he pretends to be otherwise.’’ David Chauvin, vice-president and partner in the Zimmerman/Edelson public relations agency in Great Neck, N.Y., said it appears Rodriguez made genuine attempts since he returned from his suspension last year to make amends with fans, but said he never completely connected with them. “People as a whole want to forgive, they’re willing to forgive, but they have to have an appreciation there’s true contrition,’’ he said. “I don’t think people ultimately have gotten that from A-Rod.’’ He said A-Rod’s highly publicized big money contracts never

THE CANADIAN PRESS

SAO PAOLO, Brazil — After dispatching two top-five countries in round-robin play, Canada’s women’s soccer team is primed for the knockout rounds at the Olympics, says coach John Herdman. The 10th-ranked Canadian women renew acquaintances with a familiar foe in France in tomorrow’s quarter-final at the Corinthians Arena. Canada is winless in its last three matches with

the third-ranked French since the 2012 Olympic Summer Games but holds Olympic bragging rights, having defeated France 1-0 to win bronze four years ago in London. Herdman likes what he sees in his squad, which is two wins from climbing the medal podium. “This is a Canadian team that’s very gritty, that’s got a good spirit. And, at this point, they’re not overconfident . . . there’s a quiet confidence about them,” he said. The feeling among the players, he said, is that no matter who

they play, “we’ll give them a great game and we’ve got a chance.” The Canadians lost 1-0 to France in Auxerre in their final pre-Olympic tune-up, victimized by a Camille Abily free kick. Canada defeated No. 2 Germany 2-1, No. 5 Australia 2-0 and No. 93 Zimbabwe 3-1 to win Group F. “We want to be a threat to tier 1 opposition every single time we step on the pitch and I think we’ve shown that in the group stage, that we can compete and get

results against these teams,” said defender Rebecca Quinn, who turns 21 today. Despite its success, due to the draw Canada has a tougher quarter-final foe than Group F runner-up Germany, which faces No. 12 China. Canada and Germany could meet again in the semifinals if both advance. The other quarter-finals have the top-ranked Americans playing No. 6 Sweden and No. 5 Australia facing No. 8 Brazil.

Herdman says his players weren’t looking at the draw ahead of the Germany game. “They were very clear what they wanted to do,” he said. “They wanted to make history, they wanted to finish top of the group . . . set a high standard for any other Canadian team.” It marks the first time a Canadian senior team — men or women — has beaten Germany. The Canadian women had lost all 12 previous meetings with the Germans.

Tenders NOTICE

TO THE RESIDENTS OF WESTWOLD RE: PROPOSED ESTABLISHMENT OF RURAL AGENCY STORE The Liquor Distribution Branch invites community input on a request to establish a Rural Agency Store (RAS) at Westwold General Store and Café in the community of Westwold. The intent of a RAS is to provide liquor service in rural communities and tourist destination resorts, in order to give people in these communities better, more convenient access to beverage alcohol products. RASs are established in rural communities where it is too small to operate a Government Liquor Store. RASs will be established, where there is a suitable business i.e. an existing independently-owned full service general grocery store. Only one Rural Agency Store authorization in a community is permitted. Written comments will be accepted until September 11, 2016. Your submissions may be used by the LDB in the decision process.

Charles Spicer August 11, 2014

Forever in our hearts until we meet again. LULS Mary and daughters Susan, Kelly, Corry and families.

Nellie I. Hay

September 14, 1922 – July 25, 2016 Nellie was born in the small town of Provost, Alberta, one of five children to Dudley and Daisy Morrell. She spent her early years in Provost before moving to Calgary in 1939. There she met her husband John. They moved to Kamloops in 1948 and raised a family of three children. She was always active in organizations that involved the family and did a lot of volunteer work. She was a member of the L.A. to United Transportation Union, a member of the Retired Railroad Association and a huge fan of the Kamloops Blazer Hockey Team. She was also a member of the North Kamloops Tops Club, where she made many new friends.

The Ship by Henry Van Dyke

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is on object of beauty & strength & I stand & watch her, until at length, she is only a speck of white cloud just wheret he seas & sky meet and mingle with each other. Then someone at my side exclaims, “There, she’s gone!” Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large as she was when she left my side & just as able to bear her load of living freight to the place of her destination. Her diminished size is in me, not her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says she is gone, there are other eyes watching for her coming and other voices ready to take up the glad shout “There she comes!”.
