Spill probed at Highland Valley Copper mine CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Arlee Harvey wants the Wanda Sue paddlewheeler, which she claims is responsible for about $13,000 in property damage to her dock, removed from the water.
An act of nature or negligence?
ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Gunnar Slack believes it was an act of nature that sent the Wanda Sue down the river and into the docks of two neighbouring homes.
TODAY’S WEATHER Showers High 14 C Low 3 C
Neighbours on Thompson Drive in Valleyview believe it’s a sign the replica sternwheeler needs to be removed from the river — and proof Slack owes them tens of thousands of dollars in compensation for the damage it caused.
According to Slack and neighbour Marlene Crowther, the trouble began in early February, when packed ice created a jam on the South Thompson River, building up pressure behind the Wanda Sue.
An investigation is underway following the release of a large volume of contaminated water at the Highland Valley Copper mine near Logan Lake. Chris Stannell, spokesman for Teck Resources Ltd., owner of Highland Valley Copper, said freezing in a water pipeline that services the mine’s tailings facility occurred on April 8, resulting in the release of approximately 850 cubic metres (850,000 litres) of process water from the pipeline. Stannell said the process water was contained at the site, noting the safety and stability of the mine’s tailings dam was not affected. “There were no environmental impacts as a result of this incident,” Stannell said. “The leak was reported immediately to regulatory authorities and the line has been taken out of service until repairs are completed. In following our standard protocols, an investigation is underway and appropriate corrective actions will be put in place.” The company and the union representing more than 1,000 workers — United Steelworkers Local 7619 — have been embroiled in sometimes tense contract negotiations, with the union last month coming forward with what it said was the latest in a series of incidents it said points to safety concerns at the mine. Kyle Wolff, president of Local 7619 of the United Steelworkers, said the company has yet to give the union and its occupational health and safety committee any information. See UNION, A10

Damage from Friday morning’s fire at Budget Car and Truck Rental and Self Storage on Notre Dame Drive remains visible to passersby.
Budget blaze deemed suspicious
A fire Friday morning that destroyed the Budget Car and Truck Rental and Self Storage office building on Notre Dame Drive has been deemed suspicious by investigators. The building in the Southgate area went up in flames in the wee hours of Friday morning after a car crashed into the structure. “The fire is suspicious in nature and investigators with Kamloops Fire Rescue and the RCMP are on scene to determine the cause of the incident,” Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Jay Wessel said. Notre Dame was closed to traffic between Dalhousie Drive and Laval Crescent at the Summit Shopping Centre into Friday morning. Kamloops Fire Rescue was called at just before 4 a.m. for a report of a structure fire at 820 Notre Dame Dr. The company also has rows of storage units behind the fire-destroyed office building, but firefighters managed to save those units from the flames. For some reason, a car was driven into the building right before the fire erupted There is no word on how or why that crash occurred, nor if there were any injuries reported. Anybody who may have been in the area when the fire call was made, at 3:46 a.m., is asked to contact the Kamloops RCMP at 250828-3000 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

John Dormer is being remembered fondly after the former mayor of Kamloops died on Friday afternoon at the age of 72. Dormer suffered a stroke at home and was taken to Royal Inland Hospital, where he died while surrounded by family, including Marjorie, his wife of 48 years. “My dad was the most loving, generous, thoughtful and hard-working person I’ve ever known,” said son Dave Dormer. “He taught us to always follow our dreams and also strive to make the world a better place for those around us. He left an indelible mark on all who knew him. We love him dearly and he will be missed.” Dormer is also survived by son John, daughter Julie and granddaughter Emily. Dave Dormer called his dad “a loving husband, father and grandfather,” noting he spent his final morning making breakfast with his granddaughter. Dormer was mayor of Kamloops from 1986 to 1988. At the time of his death, he was vice-president of the Kamloops Exploration Group. In a statement, Premier Christy Clark praised Dormer: “John served the people of Kamloops with distinction as their mayor and was a widely respected advocate for the B.C. mining and mineral exploration community. But he was above all a devoted husband to Marjorie, the loving father of Julie, Dave, and John and the immensely proud grandfather of Emily. Dormer served as president of Dormer Consulting and president of Pacific Bentonite Ltd. He was also on the executive of the ThompsonNicola Regional District, the Union of
JOHN DORMER
British Columbia Municipalities, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and several other municipal organizations and was past-president of the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce. Dormer also served as chair of the Community Advisory Committee for the RCMP and was the recipient of the City of Kamloops’ Centennial Medal. Dormer served as Kevin Krueger’s campaign manager in 2005. “I talked to John and he interviewed me pretty thoroughly and he said he would,” Krueger said. Dormer helped guide the Liberal campaign in Kamloops-North Thompson to victory for Krueger’s third term in office. Krueger said Dormer was famously giving, whether it was clearing snow from his neighbours’ driveways and sidewalks in winter or helping him secure a truck and drive his trailer to Victoria after his own vehicle broke down. “He was a terrific friend to everybody and constantly helping people. . . His loss is a terrible loss for all of us and all of Kamloops,” Krueger said. Funeral arrangements will be announced in the coming days. • Read more tributes to Dormer online at kamloopsthisweek.com.

Premier Christy Clark was about midway through her short speech to B.C. Liberal supporters in Kamloops on Friday, talking about her government’s $500-million Prosperity Fund, when a voice from the political past boomed through the air. “Horgan spent that this morning!” was the quip called out by former Kamloops Liberal MLA Kevin Krueger, referring to NDP Leader John Horgan’s comments during his release of the party’s platform. While explaining how his party would pay for myriad spending promises, Horgan said: “You might remember she [Clark] said there was going to be a $100-billion prosperity fund. Trying to meet that commitment, she took $500-million from Medical Services Premium rates and put it into a phony fund. We’re going to take that $500-million and put it to work for British Columbians.” Clark’s Prosperity Fund received $100 million from general revenue in February 2016 and $400 million from property transfer tax revenue in September 2016. It was created in 2013 to house profits from a liquefied natural-gas

industry that has yet to be realized. In 2013, Clark forecast three LNG plants in production by 2020, along with a Prosperity Fund containing $100 billion and economic activity hitting $1 trillion. The premier’s brief visit to the Library Square campaign office of Kamloops-North Thompson Liberal candidate Peter Milobar came just hours after she spoke to supporters in her adopted home riding of Kelowna West. Clark’s comments in Kamloops echoed those made in Kelowna and formed a rallying-cry speech. In Kelowna, she spent a few minutes speaking with reporters; in Kamloops, there was no
interaction with media as Clark spoke, posed for photos with supporters, signed a copy of her Judy Tyabji-written biography Behind the Smile and walked through a curtain in the back of the room and onto her campaign bus, which immediately headed down Tranquille en route to Highway 1. During her few minutes on stage with Milobar and KamloopsSouth Thompson Liberal candidate Todd Stone, Clark offered praise for her local flag-bearers. “Peter Milobar is the best mayor Kamloops has had — since Terry Lake,” she quipped, referring to outgoing Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry
Lake. Speaking of Stone, the province’s transportation minister, she said: “You give that man a paving machine and he will get that road built.” For the most part, though, Clark’s appearance was intended to keep the troops motivated on the fourth day of a 28-day campaign leading to the May 9 provincial election. “B.C. is just getting on a roll and now is not the time to stop,” she said. “We have worked too hard to put a stop to all we are doing.” Clark cited local projects, including the NorKam senior secondary trades and technology centre, various projects at Thompson
Rivers University and the recently approved patient-care tower that will rise at Royal Inland Hospital. “Let’s fight for mining, for forestry, for technology, for natural gas and for the rural communities,” Clark said. “The NDP has forgotten about the working people.” Milobar acknowledged Clark was speaking to the converted, of which there were a few dozen, but added it is important that a party leader visit candidates. “To see the turnout we’ve been able to achieve here with really only a couple of days’ notice, I think it shows the strength of the Liberals on both ridings.”

From students with undiagnosed learning problems in elementary school to claims of underfunding of Thompson Rivers University, an absent B.C. Liberal Party took shots at an education forum on Thursday night. The event at the university’s Ike Barber Centre heard from six of eight candidates in the Kamloops-South Thompson and Kamloops-North Thompson ridings on the state of the province’s education system, from public school to public universities. At the event were B.C. NDP candidates Nancy Beppe (Kamloops-South) and Barb Nederpel (Kamloops-North), B.C. Green candidates Donovan Cavers (Kamloops-South) and Dan Hines (Kamloops-North) and B.C. Communist candidates Beat Klossner (KamloopsSouth) and Peter Kerek (KamloopsNorth). B.C. Liberal candidates Todd Stone (Kamloops-South) and Peter Milobar (Kamloops-North) were not at the forum declaring this week they will attend only “multi-issue forums.” Cavers compared events like Thursday’s education forum to primaries in the American election system,

kamloopsthisweek.com intended to weed out candidates and lead to a winner who will take on the incumbent president. “I believe myself and Dan Hines are those two candidates,” he said. “Unfortunately, the status quo candidates [Liberals] are not here.” The candidates at the forum all pledged to increase funding for the education system. “Kamloops is the fifth from the bottom in terms of capital expenditure in the province,” Bepple said. “It’s not just by a little bit.” Nederpel said examples including
closing Westsyde elementary amid a growing neighbourhood as well as mould and flooding issues at Raft River elementary in Clearwater. Hines said a question about funding for early intervention in elementary schools for students with undiagnosed learning problems is an example of where districts need local decisionmaking. The Greens have pledged to increase funding to education by $1.5 billion over the next four years and have promised to leave much decision-making at the local level. Klossner called education a human right, while Kerek noted the candidates were in a building named after Irving K. Barber, the noted philanthropist who donated money to university. “I see someone who hasn’t been taxed appropriately,” Kerek said of donors like Barber, who recently died. “If they did, they wouldn’t have millions or hundreds of millions to throw around.” All candidates called for the province to bring funding at TRU up to levels universities in the Lower Mainland and Capital region receive. Per student government funding at Thompson Rivers is about $2,000 less than at universities in those areas.

BLAMING DOES NOT HELP ISSUE
H
omelessness continues to be an issue in Kamloops, throughout B.C. and across Canada. Everyone, it seems, agrees we need to do something about it. We know it is a difficult problem to tackle as it requires multiple levels of government to work toward a long-term housing strategy and support from both drug rehab and mental-health support services. It also requires something we don’t talk about much — more empathy. There is a fraction of the population — maybe a majority, maybe a minority — who fear and even hate the homeless. Those living on the streets are frequently blamed for their own situation. If they had chosen not to do drugs, if they would just get a job, if they weren’t so lazy, if, if, if. It’s certainly not an attitude unique to Kamloops — or even Canada. It stems from fear, not of the homeless, but of what might happen to each of us. By blaming the homeless for their own situation, we pretend it could never happen to us, to our loved ones, to our friends or to our coworkers. Blaming them ignores the factors — from the economy to housing costs to mental health — that have vastly increased the number of people living on the streets. Hundreds of people did not suddenly choose this lifestyle in the last decade. We can’t solve the issue of homelessness if a good portion of the voters don’t want it to be solved. Simply wishing the homeless would go away and blaming them entirely for their misfortune helps neither the homeless nor the wider society of which they are a part.

Public deserves venue for SLR findings on Ajax
W
e need to prepare for citizen involvement in the final report by SLR
Consulting. There was a huge interest and public turnout just over a year ago when SLR went public with its early review of KGHM’s Ajax application. All indications point to another tsunami of attention for which we might want to start planning when the final SLR review results are made public in the near future. It is crucial that an appropriate venue and adequate preparations are in place to encourage and support public interest in what SLR has found, for it could be a large factor in determining the future of Kamloops. On March 18, 2016, SLR Consulting presented its preliminary findings to the public and KGHM in the Grand Hall at Thompson Rivers University. It was estimated that upwards of 600 residents attended to hear the findings from the city-hired consultants. SLR at that time raised many questions and highlighted numerous deficiencies with the 18,000-page application submitted by KGHM and its consultants. By September 2016, the environmental services supervisor for the city said SLR

CITY HALL Consulting would need about $200,000 more to finish its review of the application for the proposed copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen. He cited at the time delays in the Ajax assessment process and difficulties in getting information from the company, noting the review was going over the budget allocated to SLR. Council voted to provide the additional funds after deciding it was a high priority to get as much objective evaluation of the complex and voluminous information in the application as possible. Now, almost 14 months after the initial presentation, the SLR report is nearing completion and is ready to be publicly presented. However, after all this considerable effort and significant investment by the city, I am concerned the public will not
be adequately able to participate in the SLR presentation. Current thinking at city hall is that a small presentation in council chambers with video feed to local cable will be adequate to meet the community’s need for information and involvement. However, given the public’s longstanding interest in the proposed Ajax project and the considerable interest in the initial report by SLR, I believe it is imperative a venue that can accommodate all those who are interested in attending be made available. In addition, I feel if the public has questions they should also be given a venue that would allow the SLR consultants to explain their findings. The residents of this city are those with the most at stake concerning Ajax, their tax dollars have paid for this review, and they need to be fully involved in understanding the findings brought forward by SLR Consulting.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
ON CONTRARY, CANFOR CANNOT LOG RESPONSIBLY Editor: The letter from Peter Baird of Canfor in the April 13 edition of KTW (‘Canfor believes it can log responsibly’) contains mostly soothing nonsense. I would find his claims amusing if the logging of the Clearwater Valley did not have such serious consequences for residents and the endangered mountain caribou. Baird may believe Canfor has hired “independent third-party experts,” but did he really check their credentials? The expert who wrote Canfor’s study on the mountain caribou is an expert on owls, not even a distantly related species.
Large areas of the Clearwater Valley outside of Wells Gray Park have been designated under the federal Species at Risk Act as critical habitat for the endangered mountain caribou. However, Canfor is forging ahead, applying for permits to clearcut in this critical habitat, despite the area’s caribou herd being down to just 121 animals. Canfor’s expert on visualimpact assessments made serious errors on the computer modelling for the large clearcuts that are now prominent on the west side of the Clearwater Valley. Canfor’s hydrology expert overlooked several key factors in his report that were discovered by the
PEOPLE STILL TEXT AND DRIVE DESPITE FINES
Upper Clearwater Referral Group in 2016 and brought to the company’s attention. Twenty years ago, 1st Canyon Creek flooded and washed out the highway to Wells Gray Park, trapping hundreds of tourists and residents for five days. Three other washouts have occurred since, all blamed on the 1980s logging on Trophy Mountain, and the cost to taxpayers has been $11 million. The site plans for Canfor’s next four blocks on Trophy Mountain are readily available, but the studies on mountain caribou, hydrology and slope stability have restricted access. One member of the Wells Gray Gateway Protection Society spent
2.5 hours at Canfor reading the plans and studies, but she was not allowed to take any photos or copies. The Society’s geology expert was refused access, contrary to Baird’s claim that the documents can be viewed by anybody. What is in these studies that is so secretive? Why is Canfor not allowing copies to be taken away so that our experts can study them? I can only conclude there is some damning evidence in these studies that Canfor does not want the public to know about. Roland Neave president Wells Gray Gateway Protection Society
KGHM HAS STAYED THE COURSE
Editor: I was wondering if auto manufacturers could install something in vehicles that prevents a signal for cellphones when the car is turned on. The driver would then have to pull over and turn off the car to use a cellphone. It would upset the ones who use their cellphones while driving, but it could save lives, if this technology was possible. People will continue to text while driving no matter how high the fines. We survived for many, many years without the use of phones while driving in a car. Tara Bradshaw Kamloops
Editor: Regarding the proposed Ajax mine and KGHM’s application review being restarted: This was a massive undertaking by KGHM international to answer 1,000-plus questions. KGHM has stayed the course. At the least, the company has shown Kamloopsians it would like to do some business here — long-term business. Simply put, KGHM seeks to reopen what was once an operating open-pit mine. It has been proven viable and the company has invested plenty of time and money here. It wants to do more. After all this effort, should KGHM International gain approval by our rules in play, then it has earned the right to join our business community.
Subsequently, it will have also earned the right to contribute to our economic baseline. I am 100 per cent in favour of that. Les Evens Kamloops

He said it’s concerning the company is keeping the investigation confidential, despite requirements in B.C.’s mining code. “We understand what happened, but we want to know why we’re not involved,” he said.

Fate of Wanda Sue remains unknown From A1
Depending on the story told, the boat either broke loose from its moorings or was pushed off them by ice and water. From there, it moved down the river, crashing into two neighbouring docks and, neighbours say, damaging the dike behind their homes. Jai Hartnell, one of two homeowners whose docks provided a resting place for the Wanda Sue, said the boat and its own still-attached dock snagged on his pilings before taking out his dock. “It smashed right through it,” he said. Hartnell said the boat’s presence also forced more river water toward the dike, carving into the soil and creating pockets that could have collapsed the top side of the structure. Hartnell said the erosion then took out a set of stairs leading down to the water. He estimates damage to his property at about $20,000. Arlee Harvey, whose dock was the second to meet the Wanda Sue, said her property suffered another $13,000 in damages. The two say they want compensation. They also want to see the Wanda Sue removed from the water so it won’t cause
more damage. “If this boat wasn’t here, none of this would have happened,” Harvey said. Not so, argued Slack. While his neighbours allege the boat wasn’t properly secured, Slack said he has moored the vessel at his home for nearly 40 years without issue. But, he said, it couldn’t hold up to the extreme force of the ice, which he called an “act of nature.” “The ice kept building up in front of the boat and the water was just boiling,” he said. “If a person had gone into the water in front of that, they weren’t coming out. You wouldn’t believe the force.” Nor does Slack believe the damage would have been lessened if the boat wasn’t on the river. “What people don’t seem to realize is had the Wanda Sue not been there and had my wharf not been there, those two wharves weren’t going to stay,” he said. “They were right in the channel and the packed ice would have come up against them.” Slack also told reporters he believes the boat protected the bank from further erosion, rather than adding to the problem.

process of repairing a portion of the dike behind the Slack, Harvey and Hartnell properties.

Instead, he said he is planning to bring the boat out of its more than 10-year retirement. Slack’s father, George, built the boat as a retirement project, which offered river tours for 20 years before it was docked in 2004 after an unsuccessful summer touring in the Shuswap. A KTW story from 2007 reports the fam-
ily was attempting to sell the boat. Now that he’s retired, Slack said he plans to start up the touring business again instead, though he added that’s likely some time off yet. “I think there’s a lot of folks in Kamloops that would be very sad to see it go, especially with it looking like it might be resurrected again as a commercial venture,” he said.

Thief devastates family by stealing special-needs trike JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Chris Murray was working in his downtown yard on April 9 when daughter Alana asked where she should park her scarlet tricycle. The space where she usually locked it up was cluttered, so he told Alana to leave it out back in the driveway next to mom’s car until later, when it would be moved after everything was cleaned up. A busy Sunday in the yard
led to suppertime, however, and the trike was forgotten — left unlocked in the family’s backyard. “It went missing at six o’clock Monday morning (April 10)” Murray said. “There was a witness who saw somebody pushing it down Battle Street not far from our house.” It’s likely someone eyed it from the alley and walked into the backyard, which isn’t fenced off. Whoever stole the trike also made off with two artificial plants formerly adorning either side of the garage. They were seen in
“It’s just one of those things,” he said. “There’s always somebody out there looking for some mistake to take advantage of somebody.” The family is spreading the word and filed a police report with the hopes of recovering the tricycle. But a week later, the situation has thrown off Alana’s routines. When KTW spoke with Murray yesterday, he was about to pick up a shiny blue replacement from Canadian Tire. The new trike costs $500, which Alana’s parents are paying, but
the bike’s basket as it was being wheeled away. Those plants were inexpensive and replaceable, but it’s the principle behind Alana’s missing ride that irks Chris. Alana, 42, has special needs. The adult tricycle was her primary mode of transportation because the three wheels compensated for her lack of balance and got her to activities like cooking class, which will hopefully eventually enable her to take care of her own meals. Murray said the theft has devastated Alana.
Murray said Alana couldn’t have covered the new wheels with her disability pension, which makes him feel for those without family supports. “It would have been a financial burden,” he said. “She wouldn’t have been able to come up with $500 to buy a new one.” The Murrays are asking anyone who spots the bike around town to call 250-320-0476. In the meantime, there’s more work to be done in the yard. “The next thing will be a fence,” Chris said.

No plan for pot conviction amnesty amid legalization move, Liberals say THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — The federal public safety minister says the plan to legalize recreational marijuana does not include a general amnesty for past pot convictions. Ralph Goodale told The Canadian Press not to expect a blanket pardon for people with records for possessing small amounts of the drug.
The C.D. Howe Institute, a prominent think-tank, has recommended the government consider pardoning people convicted of pot possession — and drop any outstanding charges — to free up much-needed resources for legalization. Goodale notes there is already a formal process to have a criminal record set aside. Those convicted of simple possession of up to 30 grams of
marijuana are eligible to apply for a pardon, now known as a record suspension, five years after their sentence is completed. An internal Public Safety Canada briefing note, released last year under the Access to Information Act, said the issue of record suspensions would be “important to consider during the marijuana legalization discussions.”
B.C. polygamy trial to begin THE CANADIAN PRESS
CRANBROOK, B.C. — A decades-long legal battle culminates in British Columbia today with the start of a trial for a breakaway Mormon leader charged with polygamy. Winston Blackmore of Bountiful is accused of having two dozen wives over a 25-year period. The legal battle dates back to the early 1990s when police first investigated allegations residents of an isolated religious community were practising multiple or “celestial” marriages. A lack of clarity around Canada’s polygamy laws
led to failed attempts at prosecuting Blackmore, followed by several efforts to clarify the legislation, including a reference question to the B.C. Supreme Court. The court ruled in 2011 laws banning polygamy were constitutional and did not violate religious freedoms guaranteed in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Blackmore is not the only Bountiful-area resident to face polygamy-related charges. James Oler will face trial alongside Blackmore for allegedly marrying four women between 1993 and 2009. None of the allegations have been proven in court and the case is being heard by judge alone.

TRU Students’ Union wants public onside CAMPAIGN UNDERWAY TO CHANGE THE WAY THE UNIVERSITY IS FUNDED DALE BASS
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
The students’ union at Thompson Rivers University is taking a campaign to the public — but it doesn’t see the topic as an election issue this year. Amber Storvold, vice-president external of the TRU Students’ Union, said a letter addressing government funding of the university is part of the union’s Fund the Future campaign. Storvold said there wasn’t enough time to promote the cause as an issue in the provincial election campaign. Instead, the students’ union is hoping to convince the public to support its effort. While the letter, which asks for a re-evaluation of the funding formula at TRU, has been co-signed by representatives of the university’s two unions, the university’s board of governors declined to do
likewise when Storvold spoke at its March 31 meeting. Christopher Seguin, a spokesman for the university, said that decision was made because, while the board shares the concern, it “wants to maintain an independent voice.” Seguin said the board, a governing body for the university, believes following its own path on the funding issue alongside other groups with which it agrees in principal is a better way “to make headway.” At the heart of the issue is a desire by TRUSU to see TRU be funded as are other universities with a mandate to do research. Seguin said that requires government to review its 15-year-old funding model. “We’ve made quantum leaps in that time,” he said of TRU. The legislation that created the university spells out in its purposes “to undertake and maintain
research and scholarly activities” to support baccalaureate and master’s degree programs. TRU is also a member of the Research Universities’ Council of B.C. Last fall at a town-hall meeting on campus, TRU president Alan Shaver said the university “will be lobbying the government and parties with the message that the post-secondary education system in B.C. is worthy of, and needs, reinvestment. “. . . It is frustrating not to have a provincial funding formula in place that takes into consideration the changes that have occurred in what we are expected to do as a university,” Shaver said. “We’re expected to provide positions from high school to university, from university into the workplace. These initiatives were not envisioned in the original block funding formula.” Storvold said a review of fund-
ing for post-secondary institutions in B.C. indicates TRU is underfunded by about $2,000 per fulltime equivalent student compared to other universities. During the past five years, TRUSU asserts, TRU has been underfunded by more than $50 million compared to the average in B.C., which impacts quality of programs and services. With the election campaign officially underway, a spokesman for the Ministry of Advanced Education said it would be a challenge to get a response from minister Andrew Wilkinson. However, in an email, the ministry replied: “Thompson Rivers is a respected and valued university that provides quality education and training for thousands of students. Students, faculty and staff have benefited from increased operating grant and capital investments. “The provincial operating grant
for Thompson Rivers will increase 22.4 per cent to $65.6 million in 2017-2018 from $53.6 million in 2005-06. “Our government continues to invest significantly in new buildings on the university campus, with almost $80 million toward capital projects since 2001. “Investments include $8 million toward the Nursing and Population Health Building, $7 million for Industrial and Technology Centre, $7.4 million toward the Old Main Building renovations for the School of Law and $18 million to support the Brown Family House of Learning. “The Ministry of Advanced Education does not use an FTE funding formula to determine operating grants. “The allocation of government operating funds is based on a number of factors, such as the cost of programs offered, institutional size and geographic location.”

Even as an experienced runner, which means nothing more than having a good chunk of kilometres under my feet and having done several events, the body is a temple that needs a lot of TLC. This week, my body has yearned more for downtime than training as my energy level has been low. Also, my training was not as intense as I would have preferred, due to being out of town again and exercising at a hotel fitness room instead of outside. I sparked a conversation with a fellow hotel guest in the fitness room and he told me he was in Vancouver to spend time with a woman he had met online and was hoping to marry. This man was in his late 60s and had been previously married for more than 30 years. He was excited about this woman and felt positive about their experiences together in Vancouver thus far. I was glad to have had this brief exchange with him. It shows a fresh start in love, health, career or otherwise can happen at any age. But for it to happen, we need to give ourselves a little tender loving care, be it emotionally or physically. I remind myself to be good to myself, even when I am not in the mood for activity and my body is feeling achy, I have muscle soreness and a lack of motivation. This happens to all of us. So, to turn things around, a visit to the gym later today will surely do the trick to brighten my spirits.

It’s funny how time passes. When you’re running, it’s as if the hands on your watch stop moving. You’re gasping for air, your legs are burning and your feet feel like bags of rocks. You reach the end of your energy and there’s still time on the clock. Usually, it’s 30 seconds — and that last 30 seconds is always the hardest. When you’re walking, that same amount of time whizzes by like a hummingbird hopped up on Red Bull. It feels like you’ve just finished your last run interval when your coach yells “30 seconds ‘til we’re running!” This week was the first time our walking and running time was equal: three minutes walking, three minutes running. While my brain registers the passage of time differently, the rest of me adjusts much faster. While walking and recovering, the voice inside my head is screaming “THAT WASN’T THREE MINUTES!” But the rest of my body just seems to go with the flow. It’s pretty amazing how much I’ve adapted in just five weeks of running two or three times a week. I feel like there’s a lesson in here somewhere, something about focusing on the process, instead of the end goal, leads to results? Maybe it’s about being patient and putting in the work. Or maybe it’s just to stop thinking about how much time you have left and keep moving, damn it.

I love spring in Kamloops. I know, people love Kamloops summers way more, I feel it is overwhelmingly the most popular season in this community. Not me. I love spring, especially now that I am running. One of my favourite parts about the run is to take in the nature, the climate, the air and the world around me. It’s therapeutic. My group with RunClub did equal intervals of running and walking this week. On Sunday out in Westsyde along the Rivers Trail, it was a cool, crisp and quick morning run. The three minutes of running was challenging, so I tried to focus on my breathing, my pace and my steps. I wore the wrong type of socks and, for the first time in this entire program, I had some pain in my shins. On Tuesday, it was on McArthur Island, then through the North Shore as the sun was slowly setting. The three minutes of running wasn’t as hard for me that evening, so I wasn’t as focused on my body as I was enjoying the time spent with fellow runners. While we were stretching and doing yoga after the run, I took a moment to reflect about how much I used to dread running on McArthur Island while in school and how my opinion has changed. Boogie the Bridge is right around the corner and my excitement outweighed my nerves this week.

Walking is just as great as running. Proper walking form includes relax; arms swinging at the hips. Pace yourself and vary your pace.
The time on your feet is now more than five kilometres. Congrats — you got this. Start to strategize your pace going out (2.5km) and coming back (2.5km).
You are now at the 10K mark — congrats. Next week is your longest run of the Boogie program. Then it’s taper time.
In the last six weeks, you have built a fantastic 10K base. This is your distance and you are strong. Goal-setting is part of your practice and Boogie is your spring goal.
The longest run of your program is now complete — congrats! It is time to taper back your running and let the body prepare, build and rest. The goal is to get to the Boogie start line feeling amazing.

wo runners approach the finish line at the CFJC-TV Boogie The Bridge. Their arms are linked together in solidarity and celebration. Spectators clap and cheer. As they cross the finish line together in triumph, ear-to-ear grins appear — and, perhaps, tears. They lift their arms over their heads, still holding hands, a celebration of their own personal victory and a spectacular finish to their commitment to health and happiness. They now know, without a single doubt, their commitment during the training was life-changing. They are changed and there is no feeling like it. We are in Week 6 of Boogie training Questions? and this is always the Go online to runclub.ca toughest week for or send an email to joberry@telus.net. our new runners. We literally call it “the dreaded Week 6.” The enthusiasm they started out with has worn thin. Their bodies are complaining. They start to remember how much easier it was to just stay home. This is also the most exciting part of the program for us coaches. Our new runners are being born. Although they are struggling, they are also craving their new lifestyle. Things internally and externally are starting to shift. They realize that they can do this. They are working through the sticky part and starting to feel the benefits and joy of moving outdoors and in the community. Visualizing their Boogie 5K, they confidently know they have this! Week 6 is soon behind them because they persevered. They can see their celebration across their personal finish line. Without any doubt, their new lifestyle overcame the desire to stay on the couch. Congratulations, new runners. You got this!

SPORTS KMBA opening day nears The Kamloops Minor Baseball Association will open the 2017 Season this Saturday at 9 a.m. at Norbrock Stadium on McArthur Island. More than 700 players, coaches and officials will be in uniform and parade into the stadium to start the season. “This is a memorable event for all the players and their families,” KMBA president Chris Balison said. “To see so many aspiring young ball players on the field, more this year than in the past 20 years, is the best way to kick off any baseball season.” In addition to the normal prize giveaways and the ceremonial first pitch, several dignitaries will be in attendance. Once the season is declared open, all 55 teams will play games at home on McArthur Island over the weekend. More information is online at kamloopsminorbaseball.ca.
Canadiens, Oilers resume action tonight The Columbus Blue Jackets scored more goals in the first six minutes of Sunday’s game than in their first two playoff games combined. That still wasn’t enough to slow down the Pittsburgh Penguins, who dealt the Blue Jackets a third straight playoff loss and put them on the brink of elimination. Now the Blue Jackets, whose best season in franchise history included a 16-game winning streak, will try to get a win at home tonight to avoid being swept out of the firstround series by the defending Stanley Cup champions. An overtime goal by 22-year-old rookie Jake Guentzel — set up by some deft puckhandling behind the net by Sidney Crosby — was the latest dagger. Guentzel had a hat trick in the 5-4 Pittsburgh win Sunday. Columbus isn’t the only team in trouble. The Minnesota Wild, who had a 12-game winning streak this season, are down 0-3 to the surprising St.

Louis Blues, while Cup favourites Chicago and Washington have been plunged into challenging first-round series of their own. • Just 18 seconds from trailing 2-0 in this series, the Montreal Canadiens have seized the momentum and they expect the New York Rangers to come out with more intensity in Game 4. “We know we didn’t
see their best,’’ forward Max Pacioretty said a day after Montreal’s 3-1 win in Game 3. “So, we’re expecting, obviously, a pushback from them and we know we’re going to see their best the next game.’’ In the last two games especially, the Canadiens have done a good job of preventing the Rangers from using the up-tempo style
they’re best at, clamping down defensively and forcing New York to dump and chase. The Rangers managed just 21 shots on goal in Game 3 and had 21 giveaways, including 10 in the first period. • The Edmonton Oilers have found a new playoff hero in their first post-season trip since 2006. Hard-hitting winger Zack Kassian has
turned into a clutch goal-scorer in the playoffs with the gamewinners in back-toback contests to give Edmonton a 2-1 over the San Jose Sharks after dropping the opener in overtime. “His play speaks for itself,’’ Edmonton coach Todd McLellan said. “He’s stepped up to the plate and delivered for three games
straight. Obviously, scoring big goals but doing a lot of other things during the game — the penalty kill portion of it, the forecheck, the momentum. He’s been tremendous for us.’’ After scoring just seven goals in the regular season, Kassian has scored his first two game-winners since the 2014-15 regular season.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — Kenya’s Geoffrey Kirui won the 121st Boston Marathon yesterday, pulling away from American Galen Rupp with about two miles to go to win in an unofficial time of 2 hours, 9 minutes and 37 seconds. Rupp, a three-time Olympian making his Boston debut, was 21 seconds behind and Japan’s Suguru Osako was another 30 seconds back. Americans had six of the top 10 finishers in the men’s race and two of the top four women. Kenyan policewoman Edna Kiplagat won the women’s race in 2:21:52, needing only one try in Boston to add it to wins in London, New York and Los Angeles. She pulled ahead of Rose Chelimo of Bahrain in the Newton hills to win by 59 seconds. “When I was running, my body was feeling good,” said Kiplagat, who was greeted at the finish line by two of her children. “I tried to push more, hard and I
saw my [rivals] were not picking up the pace.” American Jordan Hasay, making her debut at the distance, was third and Desi Linden was fourth — the first time since 1991 two U.S. women have finished in the top four. Calgary’s Jacob Puzey was the top Canadian, 41st overall at 2:26:52. Toronto’s Rachel Hannah finished 23rd among women at 2:41:22. The warm temperatures that hit 79 degrees at the 20-kilometre mark slowed the runners but the strong tailwind was a boost — especially for the wheelchair races. Marcel Hug won Boston for the third time, outpushing 10-time champion Ernst Van Dyk and finishing in 1:18:04 to beat the course record and world best by 21 seconds. Fellow Swiss Manuela Schar shattered the women’s mark by more than five minutes, winning in 1:28:17. The winners’ times on the point-to-point Boston course are considered a world best
and not a world record because of the possibility of a supportive tailwind like the one yesterday. “The wind is so important,’’ Hug said. “The roads were good. Everything was fantastic today.’’ Earlier Monday, city officials announced plans for memorials to mark the sites where two bombs exploded during the 2013 Boston Marathon. City officials and the families of five who died in the bombing or its aftermath say there is also a plan to build a separate, larger memorial to victims, survivors and responders.

HOLDING MARBLES
Fiona, Len and Nancy are each holding two marbles, one in each hand. The marbles are red, green and blue, and there are two of each colour. Fiona, Len and Nancy are standing from left to right in that order. None of them are holding marbles of the same colour, nor are two marbles of the same colour in adjacent hands. Fiona is holding a blue and a green marble. Len is holding a red marble in his right hand. Nancy is not holding a green marble in her right hand. If not everyone is holding a marble in his/her left hand, whose colour name comes before in the alphabet the colour name of the marble in her/ her right hand, who is holding which marbles in which hands? (Never mind whether left means the person’s left or on your left, etc. Who needs that confusion? You are looking at them from behind so these are the same.)

Arthur (Art) Gordon Cook
Celebration of Life
John Eric Hoglund A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, April 22, 2017 at 12:00 pm Please join us to honor his extraordinary life at North Shore Community Centre, 730 Cottonwood Avenue, Kamloops, BC.
December 1, 1919 – April 6, 2017
Art passed away peacefully in his sleep on Thursday, April 06, 2017. He will be missed by his daughters Ellen (Stan) Mojostrovich, Dale (Fern) Anderson and son Roy Cook all of Kamloops, BC. He will also be missed by his grandchildren Brenda Mojostrovich and Gordon Anderson of Kamloops, BC and by David (Sarah) Anderson of Calgary, AB, as well as many nieces, nephews and friends. Art was predeceased by his wife Ellen (Nel), his brothers Gerry and Doug Cook and his sister Joyce Legg. Dad was born on December 1, 1919 in Winnipeg, MB, the second of four children. During his early years the family moved from Winnipeg to Vinsulla and then to North Kamloops where Dad’s father built the family home on Angus Street. Dad spent the rest of his life in North Kamloops, Brocklehurst and for the past nine years at The Hamlets in Westsyde. Dad was a charter member of the North Kamloops Volunteer Fire Department when the hall was on McKenzie Avenue where Spirit Square is now located. Dad worked at various jobs before going to work on the construction of the oil refinery in Brocklehurst. He remained there until taking an early retirement. Not one to sit idle for too long, Dad then went to work at Afton Mine until he retired for good. Dad was always ready to lend a hand on any project whether it be carpentry, plumbing or electrical. In retirement, Dad enjoyed camping with his family and always looked forward to the annual fall fishing trips to Clearwater and Azure Lakes. He will be missed. The family would like to thank the staff at The Hamlets in Westsyde for their care, compassion and support during Dad’s time there. It was Dad’s wish that there be no formal service.
Mary Romano July 14, 1925 January 27, 2017

Stu Thomson It is with great sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of Stuart Alexander Thomson on April 12, 2017 at the age of 77. Stu will always be missed and longingly remembered by his three daughters Dauna (John), Tracey and Krissy (Bruce), his wife Lynda and her children Jolene and Jared and extended family. Stu will be missed by his special granddaughter Carissa (Mike), greatgranddaughter Evelyn and many wonderful family and friends. He was predeceased by his wife Frankie of 40 years, forever in our hearts. Dad was born in Winnipeg on November 7, 1939 and raised in Victoria. While working in the forestry industry he moved his family around BC finally residing in Kamloops. Being very active with curling, baseball and of course hockey, he formed many wonderful friendships. A great sense of wit, he always had a oneliner to make you smile. Dad was a private man with quiet strength and great dignity, who lived by example and taught people the true meaning of being a ‘gentleman’. A Memorial Service will be held at Funeral Chapel in Kamloops on April 20, 2017 at 1:00 pm. Reception to follow.
Schoening Thursday,
In lieu of flowers, the family would like donations made to Canadian Lung Association or the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. Arrangements entrusted to First Memorial Funeral Services, Kamloops, BC (250) 554-2429 Condolences may be left at www.firstmemorialkamloops.com

Why Pre-Plan with Kamloops Funeral Home?
The Angel on Your Shoulder By Jackie Huston Lena, Wisconsin
250-554-2577
There’s an angel on your shoulder Though you may not know she’s there, She watches over you day and night And keeps you in her care. There’s an angel on your shoulder Watching you learn and grow Keeping you safe from danger And nurturing your soul. She’ll be there through your triumphs She’ll dance on clouds with pride, She’ll hold your hand through disappointments and fears, Standing faithfully by your side. In her lifetime this angel was strong and true, And stood up for what was right. In your life you’ll be faced with decisions and trials And she’ll shine down her guiding light. Life holds so much in store for you, So remember as you grow older, There are no heights you cannot reach ‘Cause there’s an angel on your shoulder.
