AJAX, LACK OF DOCTORS DOMINATE FORUM DALE BASS
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
All the expected moments arrived at the media-sponsored all-candidates forum at Thompson Rivers University on Tuesday night. There was an early question on the proposed Ajax mine, curiosity about how the province is going to pay to return class size and composition back to 2002 levels and sniping between candidates on who has governed the province worse in the past — the Liberals or the New Democrats. Health care was a dominant issue, as was the way legislators are elected in the province and which party is more beholden to its big donors. Each candidate stuck to the party lines. The two representing the NDP — Nancy Bepple in KamloopsSouth Thompson and Barb Nederpel in Kamloops-North

Incumbent Kamloops-South Thompson Liberal MLA Todd Stone emphasizes a point during Tuesday night’s all-candidates forum at Thompson Rivers University.
Thompson — talked about lack of doctors, legal-aid funding woes, tax breaks for corporations and increased costs for electricity, auto insurance and prescriptions.
The Liberals — incumbent MLA Todd Stone in KamloopsSouth Thompson and Peter Milobar in Kamloops-North Thompson — pointed to
student achievement in schools, specialist doctors who have moved to the city and the fact British Columbians voted against changing the electoral system in
two referendums. The Green representatives — Dan Hines in Kamloops-North Thompson and Donovan Cavers in KamloopsSouth Thompson

— condemned the proposed Ajax mine and talked about renewable energy sources, education funding and polarized politics. The Communist can-
didates — Peter Kerek in Kamloops-North Thompson and Beat Klossner in KamloopsSouth Thompson — argued that the political and bureaucratic systems need to be changed to make elections and government more people-centred. The Grand Hall at Thompson Rivers University was never at capacity — attendance peaked at about 550 — and people slowly left during the two hours of questions and answers. The audience was vocal; beyond oftenpartisan applause and cheers, there were the usual catcalls of “liar” and “answer the question,” most aimed at the two Liberal candidates. Along with campaign slogans and policy recitations were some moments of complete candour, such as when Stone answered a question from the sister of a young adult living with a disability.

If voters turn out in large numbers on May 9, it will be a harbinger of success for the Green party, said federal leader Elizabeth May. After arriving from the Coast at 6:30 a.m. on VIA Rail, the Green MP from Saanich-Gulf Islands spent yesterday campaigning with local candidates Dan Hines and Donovan Cavers, including a fundraising dinner in the evening. While there are no official linkages between the federal and provincial Green parties, May said she is supporting the Green movement generally and is friends with both Cavers and Hines. “I’ve been so impressed at how he’s come into his own as a councillor,” she said of Cavers, who is running in Kamloops-South Thompson. Under provincial leader Andrew
Weaver, the Greens have registered 38 per cent support on Vancouver Island in one poll. The Kamloops ridings have been mentioned by party strategists as a potential Green win. “This is a place where we can sense a breakthrough,” May said of the two city ridings. But to get there, May said history has shown it will also take a breakthrough in voter turnout. “When Greens succeed, in P.E.I., New Brunswick or me federally, every time Greens make a breakthrough, it’s people who are turned off of politics who turn out to vote,” she said. In May’s Vancouver Island riding, voter turnout was 75 per cent in 2011 and 80 per cent four years later. Weaver won his riding of Oak Bay-Gordon Head with a 70 per cent voter turnout. Voter turnout was about 55 per
cent in the 2013 provincial election. “Why don’t we see if we can get to 75 per cent and see what happens,” May said. The Greens are running on a platform that would see provincial spending increase by about $4 billion, more than double that promised by the NDP. That money would be put into public schools and post-secondary education, new sustainable economic initiatives, higher disability amounts and even a pilot project for a guaranteed income to shield workers from the effects of automation, a trend touched upon by Hines, running in Kamloops-North
Thompson, at Tuesday’s all-candidates forum. To pay for it, the party would hike taxes on those making more than $100,000 a year and on sales of multimillion dollar homes and boost the carbon tax. May said among the biggest issues is election financing, with the Greens refusing to take corporate or union cash. Its campaign in the two Kamloops ridings is being funded by individual donations. “Ethics in politics, questions about money that’s sloshing around in bank accounts or the Liberals and NDP — you can’t get away with that,” May said. She added the Green candidates in Kamloops will benefit because they are the only mainstream party that categorically rejects the proposed Ajax mine. “The other candidates can’t seem to get themselves off the fence,” May said.

Candour and rancour CAL/MIN

The woman described the challenges facing her quadriplegic sister, who struggles to survive on the disability income the government provides her. Stone acknowledged there is still work to be done in that area. And there was candour when Hines, answering a query on the way elections are run, pointed out the nine candidates on stage were an example of democracy at work, but noted with a majority government, eight of them will be silenced as the “warfare across the aisles” continues in the legislature.

“The rest of us just end up in a protest movement,” he said. Libertarian candidate Jessica Bradshaw was not asked any questions, but took the option to answer a query twice, promoting the Libertarian philosophy. On the contentious Ajax issue, Bradshaw said a Libertarian government would allow the people to decide its fate. Cavers and Hines reiterated their opposition, with Cavers arguing the dearth of doctors can be connected to the spectre of Ajax and Hines saying he stands with local First Nations bands in opposing the project.

stated their rejection of Ajax. Nederpel and Bepple called for a better assessment process, but did not declare support or opposition, nor did Stone or Milobar, though Stone said he would stand behind whichever decision is made by the provincial and federal levels of government and work to heal a community fractured by the debate over the mining proposal.
Other issues
• The opioid crisis, with Nederpel saying the province never expected it and didn’t have the ability to address it immediately. She said one of the reasons is because the areas of mental health and addictions are in separate ministries, something the NDP will change if elected. • Ability to govern, something Stone said his government has shown itself to be capable of doing, citing economic growth and job creation, while also funding “services we need and looking after people we love.” • Klossner received perhaps the biggest laugh of the night when he thanked people for attending, noting “all the candidates showed up for a change,” a reference to the decision by Liberal candidates to skip what they deem one-issue forums. • Challenged by Cavers about her investment portfolio that once included mining shares, including shares
in Abacus, the junior partner in the proposed Ajax project, Bepple responded that, as a city councillor, she always recused herself discussions that dealt with the Ajax proposal. She then segued into a speech on Liberal scandals and Liberal staffers accused or convicted of crimes, a statement that drew disdain from some members of the audience. • Kerek said large tax cuts given to corporations and upper-income people could have been used to finance improvements to education and health care, quoting former federal finance minister Jim Flaherty, who said one of the issues in Canada is all the corporations “sitting on logs of cash,” which Kerek said means they weren’t taxed properly. • On election funding, Hines said he had a Leonard Cohen song going through his head, “Everybody knows that the dice is loaded.” He said it is one of the reasons young people don’t vote, because “they think the whole thing is rigged.” • Milobar attacked the NDP candidates’ platforms, pointing out statements by Nederpel that conflicted each other, other statements he claimed were wring and wondering why successful business owners and wealthy people are demonized when many help contribute to the community and the province through significant philanthropy.

City eyes Stuart Wood as new museum home ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
If the Tk’emlups Indian Band council agrees, the former Stuart Wood elementary school building could become the new home for the Kamloops Museum and Archives. Kamloops council is seeking consent from the band to amend a provincial covenant on the 100year old building to allow
museum usage. Consent of First Nations is sought if property involved belongs to the Crown, per the 2014 Tsilhqot’in Supreme Court of Canada ruling. The heritage building reverted to city control last year after School District 73 closed the school and moved students to other campuses. But a covenant placed on the building in the early 1900s dictates the
city can only use the property for educational purposes, otherwise the province assumes control. “Because it’s a change in the covenant that the province has, it needs to go through the First Nations route to get their consent,� Deputy Mayor Arjun Singh said, noting Mayor Peter Milobar and CAO David Trawin spoke to TIB council before Milobar took a leave of
absence to run for provincial office. “It sounds like they’re open to it,� Singh said. Parks, recreation and cultural-services director Byron McCorkell said it’s a natural fit to put the city’s heritage into a heritage building. “It’s iconic, it’s in a central part of the community, it’s well-located on a main drag,� he said. The building is also larger than the museum’s
home at the corner of Seymour Street and Second Avenue, which the city could sell or use to house another community organization. “Preserving that building [Stuart Wood] and using heritage as a way to do it is, I think, unique and it creates that opportunity to have a conversation in the community about what is Kamloops and who we are,� McCorkell said.

“We think we can do it relatively cheaply and we think we could move on it pretty quickly,� he said. The city is already restoring the heritage Sheep Breeders building on Lorne Street to act as a secondary museum site and artifact storage area. McCorkell said that work, which cost $150,000, should conclude this summer.

Kamloops council wants two more experts to weigh in before it makes a decision on July 17 on whether it supports opposes the proposed Ajax mine. Council has decided to invite regional medical health officer Kamran Golmohammadi and air quality meteorologist Ralph Adams to present their findings on the copper and gold mine proposed to be developed south of Aberdeen. Golmohammadi is leading a health assessment of the project, while Adams is evaluating its effects on air quality in the city. The presentations will take place at a special council meeting on Thursday, June 22, at city hall. Council will also stage a town hall meeting on June 19 at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre, where residents can hear from SLR Consulting, which is conducting a $500,000 review of the project’s environmental application on behalf of the city. After its June 19 and June 22 meetings, councillors will hold another special meeting on July 17 to decide on a response to the proposed mine. “We’ve done a great job so far of incorporating the public into these discussions,� said Coun. Denis Walsh, who made the motion for another session. “I think it’s only natural that on an item this important to our city, we would give them that opportunity.� The decision came after residents Randy Sunderman and Tony Brummel called for another chance to question SLR, in a venue larger than council chambers. Brummel said it’s unlikely city hall could contain the number of people likely to be interested in the presentation. Coun. Pat Wallace said she’s concerned the city may not have the money for the extra meeting. While Ajax proponent KGHM footed the bill for the first $300,000 of the review, it declined to provide the additional $200,000 required when the review went longer than expected, due to a nearly year-long pause in the project’s provincial environmental assessment. Public works director Jen Fretz said the city likely has enough of its cash left, but was not entirely sure. Councillors also agreed to invite representatives from the Tk’emlups and Skeetchestn First Nations — who have rejected the mining proposal — and the Thompson-Nicola Regional District to the town hall. — Andrea Klassen

“I think it’s just a great opportunity for us.� He said the building will need accessibility upgrades, including work on its washrooms, for which the city does not yet have a cost estimate. The building will not require structural changes. McCorkell said the city can drawn on its experience renovating the former Seymour Street courthouse into an art gallery.

New fire chief hired from within The city completed a strategic plan under McLean just last year, which Duckworth said will be maintained with Adams in the role. Adams served as Kamloops’ deputy fire chief and assistant chief since 2011. Before working in Kamloops, Adams served as deputy fire chief in Squamish from 2009 to 2011 and served in North Vancouver for 20 years prior to 2009. Adams is the second consecutive fire chief to not live within City of Kamloops boundaries. Adams lives on Heffley Lake, 41 kilometres northeast of the city. His predecessor, McLean, lived in Sun Rivers on Tk’emlups Indian Band land.
The City of Kamloops looked within to find its next fire chief. Mike Adams, acting fire chief since Dale McLean retired at the end of last year, will take over the position permanently. Adams’ promotion to chief came after the city conducted a two-month, nationwide interview process during which more than 30 applications were received. Corporate services and community safety director David Duckworth said the decision to hire Adams over five other interviewed candidates was
unanimous. Duckworth said Adams’ performing as acting chief, as well as his long experience with firefighting were considered in the hiring decision. “He was up against some really talented people, but he was the superior candidate,” Duckworth said. “Mike has been acting fire chief for the last three months and in my opinion he has done a fantastic job.” Duckworth said Adams’ experience as a deputy chief and his long history as a firefighter also made him an appealing hire. “He’s come up through the ranks and I think he’s ready for a strong leadership position,” he said.
Training centre delayed
A new firefighter training centre is running several months behind schedule. Director of community safety and corporate services David Duckworth said the classroom portion of the new training area will be delayed until fall. Duckworth said the delay

Mike Adams is the new Kamloops Fire Rescue chief. Read a full profile on him in the Friday, April 28, edition of KTW.
When the fire chief job was first posted, it included a requirement that the successful applicant would need to live in the city. But soon after posting, the description was changed to read “must reside within 30 minutes response time
was caused because the city switched one of its consultants. “It doesn’t change the budget at all, but it does change our opportunity to get in there and do some training, particularly for our staff.” he said. The city is moving and rebuilding the training centre
to the City of Kamloops boundaries.” In February, Duckworth said the initial posting was a mistake and the residency requirement should never have been included. He noted the residency requirement was set out the last time the city hired a chief — McLean — but was not enforced. Adams, who is director of the Sun Peaks Educational Society, has a bachelor of applied business in emergency services from Lakeland College in Vermillion, Alta., an emergency management certificate from the Justice Institute of B.C. and a business management certificate from BCIT.
after BC Hydro purchased the old location from the city for a new substation. Duckworth said a new burn building, which cost the city $750,000, in addition to $625,000 put up by BC Hydro as part of the land sale, is mostly complete.

BRIEFS Support for wetlands plan
A new wetlands in the works at Dufferin Park has netted some big support. Parks planner Mike Doll said the city has received a $75,000 anonymous donation to continue work on the wetlands, as well as two years of grants from the National Wetlands Conservation Fund and money from Kinder Morgan. All told, the city has nearly $102,000 in grants and donated funds. Doll said the wetlands will improve drainage in the area and deal with one of the most commonly heard complaints from residents in the area:
“The soggy field that was basically a mosquito habitat.”
Doll said because water from the ponds will be in motion, it’s
not the bug breeding ground the field was. The funds will be
used to continue digging ponds and landscaping the area with
wetland-appropriate vegetation. Next year, the city will install
an education centre, boardwalk and signage in the park.

The B.C. Lottery Corporation will spend $205,355 to purchase a 4.5-metre wide lane from the City of Kamloops. Real estate manager David Freeman said the city-owned road, which is used only by the lottery corporation, connects BCLC’s existing headquarters with new land it has acquired as it looks to build a new home adjacent to city hall. Freeman said as part of the deal, the city has acquired a small strip of land on the Victoria Street side of the property for future road widening.

PARTIES SEEK TO BE HEARD
A
nyone who thinks B.C. politics is limited to the B.C. Liberals, NDP and Greens hasn’t been paying attention to the province’s rich political history. For two years in the 1870s, for example, William Alexander Smith, newspaperman, nationalist and liberal reformer (who changed his name to Amor De Cosmos to reflect his love for order, beauty, the world and the universal), was premier. Parties have come and gone over the years — Social Credit being the most notable, having held the reigns of power in Victoria for more than 30 years — but it would be unfair to say B.C. voters have only two or three choices. In the 2001, 2005 and 2009 provincial elections, for example, voters could choose from a wide variety of candidates, from the Marijuana Party, the Unity Party and the Platinum Party, as well as Your Political Party and the Refederation Party. According to Elections BC, there are approximately two-dozen political parties registered in the province. It’s true the May 9 election will come down to just a few candidates in each riding, with the governing party decided by how many winning candidates a party collects in our first-past-the-post system. But when researching your candidate of choice, don’t forget the few who are running despite long odds. Visit elections.bc.ca/docs/fin/Registered-Political-PartiesInformation.pdf for a full list of Registered Political Parties in B.C. Some may be running in the two Kamloops ridings. As for the others, consider it an ongoing political history lesson.

After the phone call . . .
I
know my doctor said a lot more in that call I waited all day to get. He talked about some movie he had seen, one he thought starred Donald Sutherland and Clint Eastwood, but he couldn’t remember the name. The intent was good — he had just told me to not let a wave of fear swamp me, a line he recalled from whatever movie he was trying to remember. I’m not being swamped, I thought. I’m pacing in a circle in my kitchen, the phone pressed to my ear, trying to process his message. But I’m not swamped. Instead, I am completely and utterly focused on those three little words, just 13 lifealtering letters — you have cancer. In the days since, I’ve overGoogled (is that a word?) every possible noun or adjective I can recall linked to this cursed disease. I’ve read up on drugs with names that look like someone dumped the Scrabble tiles onto the floor and put together whichever letters ended up next to each other, daring us to try to pronounce them. I know about the four stages and the sub-stages, about mortality and survival rates. I know the statistics and how they relate to me, that 51 per cent of this kind of cancer is diagnosed in women ages 50 to 69. What a time to find myself
DALE BASS
Street
LEVEL finally in the majority on something. But if you have to be in a majority, it might as well be while facing a cancer that has a high cure rate. The mortality rate has dropped in the past 30 years by 44 per cent, meaning fewer of us are dying from it now than in the past. The five-year survival rate for women in my age group is 90 per cent, so the odds are good. There are some other positive sides to this story. The surgeon I’m dealing with is calm, patient, answers questions and doesn’t just stop there. She presents all the necessary information, including the stuff I’d rather not hear or think about. That luxury no longer remains. There’s the downside to it, as well, the weeks of radiation Mondays through Fridays for many weeks. With no facility in Kamloops to do this, it means a lot of miles on the road between
here and Kelowna, all for a daily 20-minute dose of rays to obliterate any nasty cells that might be lingering. I sure hope whoever takes over the health ministry can do something about that once there’s a government back in place in Victoria. The other downside depends on your point of view — and I’m looking at both sides of it. First, if you need to take off a lot of time for health reasons, summer’s a pretty good time to have to do it. I’ve already loaded up the Kindle with books, not one with a single redeeming social-conscience theme, but all guaranteed to help fill the long days. The two gents with whom I share the house — my beloved and the truly amazing youngest kid — will soon get used to being referred to as my manservants, as long as they can still escape for their rounds of golf and soccer games. However, lounging on our deck means this desk where I’m now sitting will be empty and I won’t be around to talk to my telephone regulars — Bill, Doc, Deveen, Gary, Elizabeth and the others — or torment local politicians with questions. I’ll probably miss dealing with them more than they’ll miss me. Have a great summer, all.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
RECYCLING INTENDED TO SAVE ENVIRONMENT Editor: It has been just about a month since the new recycling program began and I have noticed several things. My recycling bin on collection day is now half-empty when it used to be overflowing every week. My garbage can is now the one that won’t close properly because it is full to capacity. I refuse to drive all over the city to recycle what I cannot leave curbside because it is defeating the recycling purpose.
I use more gas and create more emissions to find a location that will accept recyclable items I can no longer put in my bin. I thought recycling was intended to save the environment, not to cause us to pollute it in other ways through driving or illegal dumping. I have also seen many confused people who are not sure what to put in their recycling bin. They are afraid to place items in the bin for fear of receiving a fine for improper recycling. I feel that there should be a full-page ad in
the newspaper listing in detail all the items that can be placed in the bin. I have gone online and the list is not very clear. I found two different recycling lists that conflict with each other. This really needs to be clarified. We also need the locations published. I have been recycling for years and have never seen such a confusing and frustrating recycling program as Kamloops’s new system. Donna Szucs Kamloops
My recycling bin on “collection day is now half-empty . . .”
HEALTH CLINICS A LIBERAL ELECTION PLOY Editor: I’m sorry to have to tell you, but nobody will be getting a doctor any time soon in Kamloops. Two clinics have opened on the North Shore, but the one in Northills Centre will have a doctor for only one day a week. This information is
straight from the mouth of the nurse practitioners. If you have a skinned knee or a hangnail, you can go to these clinics, but even an ingrown toenail will have to take you back to emergency. I think these clinics are nothing more than an election ploy by the B.C. Liberals to trick voters
into thinking they might actually get health care. For all those people who have a family doctor and think they’re fine — think again. If those doctors retire or leave, their patients will be left, like the rest of us, to fend for themselves in an uncaring health-care environment.
I am a fifth-generation Canadian. My ancestors worked on the railways, on the roads, in construction and in the fields. We have all been paying income and other taxes to government. I deserve, at the very least, proper health care. We have far too many citizens in this country
who have never paid a penny into government coffers. Perhaps we should adopt a system in which you get proper health care if you pay into the system. It is all too obvious the current system is not sustainable. Barbara Kennedy Kamloops
PROPOSED MINE AN ABUSE OF HUMAN RIGHTS Editor: There is a huge misuse of power taking place right before our very eyes with respect to the proposed KGHM Ajax mine, one the larger society is beginning to recognize as
an abuse of human rights. Fortunately, the steamroller process designed to slam this giant mine into place over top of First Nations rights and the rights of Kamloops people to live free
from threats to their lives is coming apart at the seams and being exposed for what it is. Be warned, First Nations people and non-native residents alike are coming together as allies
to work in a new united front that is healthy, strong and powerful — and we will not quietly allow this abuse to take place. John McNamer Kamloops

“When the BC Liberals changed appurtenance laws 15 years ago, Weyerhaeuser left Vavenby and the local towns of Clearwater and Vavenby never recovered. “Then after the McLure Fire in 2003, Tolko had no requirements to rebuild and stay in Barriere.

RE: EDITORIAL: WHAT WERE THE PROPOSALS FOR FORMER DAILY NEWS SITE?:

KDN building will fall DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
DAVE EAGLES/KTW
DOWNTOWN COLLISION
Five people were taken to hospital following a two-vehicle crash in downtown Kamloops on Tuesday morning. RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said a black van ran a stop sign at Seymour Street headed north on Eighth Avenue, broadsiding a red van just after 10:45 a.m. The black van carried a driver and a passenger, both of whom were transported to Royal Inland Hospital with minor injuries. The driver of the red van and two passengers were also taken to hospital with minor injuries.
While Pat Wallace wants a funeral held for the former Kamloops Daily News building, the wrecker’s ball isn’t yet swinging into motion. With just Denis Walsh dissenting, councillors voted on Tuesday to spend $30,000 to start a public bidding process to demolish the old building, a process they hope will help determine a more accurate cost of that process. Council also voted to spend $20,000 to begin a detailed design and preparation of cost estimate to turn the site into a street-level parking lot. Comparing the former Bay location at the corner of Seymour Street and Fourth Avenue to his first car — a 1963 Dodge station wagon — Ken Christian said while the building invokes fond memories, “it’s too new to be a collector and too old to be repaired. “This is a bunker that, quite frankly, has outlived its usefulness and is an impediment to making a deal,” he said. Each councillor spoke on the motion, made by Christian and sec-
onded by Tina Lange. Dieter Dudy asked why city staff can’t tell the public about the nine proposals it received in response to its request for information, which was released on March 2, 2016, and which closed just weeks later, on April 15. City CAO David Trawin explained the city is obligated to keep that information private because it relates to business proposals from various companies and property owners. Trawin added most who responded with ideas preferred to see the building removed. Lange said while she loves the building, where she once worked, she noted it has serious issues. Walsh also addressed the parking issue, telling council that earlier that day, he went to the website operated by Impark, the company that holds the parking contract with the city. He said there were 38 stalls he could have reserved at Hotel 540 for long-term parking. Walsh said he also spoke with operators of other downtown lots who have spaces they can’t rent. “So I disagree on there being a lack of parking long-term downtown,” he said.

97-year-old describes alleged assault TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A 97-year-old North Thompson woman took the witness stand in a Kamloops courtroom yesterday, describing a “disgusting” incident last year in which an acquaintance is accused of violently groping her. Brian Byung Koo Lee is standing trial in Kamloops provincial court on one count of sexual assault. The incident is alleged to have happened in August 2016. The complainant, whose identity is protected by a courtordered publication ban, told court she met Lee a few days before the alleged
incident took place. “There was this couple that were new in town and we thought they should be made to feel comfortable, so we invited them over for supper,” she said, noting Lee showed up for the meal with his wife. “There were two or three of our friends who came also.” The complainant lives in Barriere with her son and his wife and child. A few days after the dinner, the woman said, she answered her door to find Lee standing outside. She said she welcomed him into her home, assuming he was there to talk to her son about a vehi-
cle that needed repair work. Crown prosecutor Frank Caputo then asked the complainant to tell Kamloops provincial court Judge Chris Cleaveley what happened next. “It’s shameful, sir,” she said to the judge, before describing how she was fondled on various parts of her body and how she was forced to touch the accused. “At this point, I said to him, ‘You know my son is downstairs and he could be coming

up any moment.’ “Obviously, it didn’t bother him too much.” The complainant also said Lee aggressively kissed her. “This whole situation was disgusting,” she said. “I didn’t quite know what to do. I sort of froze. I was afraid that my son would have come up and there would have been terrible trouble.” Court heard the complainant didn’t tell anyone about the incident until the next day, eventually confiding in her daughter-
in-law after she returned home from a trip to Ontario. Court also heard the complainant, a mother of seven, suffered bruising to her breasts and redness around her mouth as a result of the incident. The complainant later told police Lee began groping her while sitting on a couch, asking her to be his “mama.” Defence lawyer Matt Ford said the complainant had actually had a conversation with Lee about how she missed living on her own. “I’m suggesting to you that you were asking for assistance,” Ford said. “Good heavens,”
the complainant replied. “Assistance for what? Where the deuce he got that from I don’t know — certainly not from me.” “I’m going to suggest to you that you had this conversation and then, shortly after that, he left your residence,” Ford said. “I wish he had,” the complainant replied. “This whole situation is revolting.” Throughout her testimony, the complainant was supported in court by about eight relatives. A family member also helped the elderly woman to and from the witness box. The trialmay conclude tomorrow.
Police seek help on fire file Kamloops RCMP is asking for the public’s help in connection to the April 14 fire at Budget Car Rental on Notre Dame Drive. A truck was backed into the building, then intentionally set ablaze. Surveillance video from a nearby business shows several vehicles drove by the blaze before firefighters arrived.

Accused in fatal hit/run to choose trial by judge or jury TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
The man accused of killing a Kamloops teenager in a hit-andrun incident last year is expected to announce in June whether he wants to be tried by a judge or jury. Jason Gourlay made a brief appearance in Kamloops provincial court on Tuesday. The 41-yearold appeared via video from Vancouver Island Regional Correctional Centre, sporting a shaved head and leaning into the camera. Gourlay was released on $20,000 cash bail in March, but is back behind bars after being arrested in Nanaimo last week on breach charges. Gourlay is charged
with failing to remain at the scene of an accident in connection to the Nov. 4 death of Jennifer Gatey, a 16-year-old South Kamloops secondary student who was killed after being struck by a vehicle on Pacific Way, near her family’s Aberdeen home. Gourlay’s Jeep was identified early in the investigation as having been potentially involved. The vehicle was seized by police within days of Gatey’s death, but Gourlay wasn’t arrested until March 3. Gourlay is also facing unrelated charges of possession of heroin and fentanyl and breaching the terms of his bail. When he was released from bail a week after his arrest, Gourlay was ordered
to reside at a treatment facility on Vancouver Island. Before his release, he was assault-

SD73 superintendent Alison Sidow said Koopmans will begin his job with the school district on May 15, adding he will be responsible for crafting various messages from the district to the public, parents and guardians and others interested in the public education system in the region. “This is a way to get our story out to all,” Sidow said, noting the relationship with local media has been good and the new position is not designed to interfere with it. She said Koopmans’ role is intended to bring the district into the 21st century in terms of telling its stories through social media, an improved and continually updated website and any other methods he might identify to promote SD73. Sidow said the local board is one of the few of its size in B.C. without a communications specialist, a position it has wanted to create and fill for some time. “For example, we have a new strategic plan and we want to make sure the public is aware of it,” she said. Sidow said a communications plan is now being created to help guide the job functions.

RIDE SHARING
Uber takes to skies with next project
HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE IN PHOENIX INVITED TO TRY, PROVIDE FEEDBACK ON EXPERIENCE
FCA, Google offering rides in self-driving cars THE CANADIAN PRESS
DETROIT — Fiat Chrysler and Google for the first time will offer rides to the public in the self-driving automobiles they are building under an expanding partnership. The companies announced in the spring of last year they would build 100 self-driving Chrysler Pacifica hybrids minivans. Those vehicles have been tested in Arizona, California and Michigan. Waymo, Google’s selfdriving car project, said Tuesday it will allow hun-
dreds of people in Phoenix to take rides in the vehicles so it can get feedback on the experience. People can apply on Waymo’s website. The company also said it’s expanding its fleet to 500 Pacifica hybrids. Waymo — created by Google in 2009 — has given rides to the public before in its hometown of Mountain View, Calif. In 2015, it let a blind man ride around Austin, Texas, in one of its completely self-driving pods. The Phoenix program will be much larger in scale and it will be the first to use the Pacifica minivans.
Others in the race to develop self-driving vehicles have been putting people in their cars since last fall. Uber has had self-driving Volvos on the road in Pittsburgh for some time. Boston startup nuTonomy is giving taxi rides to passengers in Singapore and Boston. In all cases, there is a backup driver behind the wheel. Waymo said it wants to learn where people want to go in a self-driving vehicle, how they communicate with it and what kinds of information and controls they want.
Fiat Chrysler builds the Pacifica minivan in Windsor, Canada, just across the border from Detroit. It adds Waymo’s self-driving software and hardware, including sensors and cameras, at a facility in Michigan. Fiat Chrysler’s U.S. headquarters is in Auburn Hills, Michigan. “This collaboration is helping both companies learn how to bring selfdriving cars to market, and realize the safety and mobility benefits of this technology,’’ said Waymo chief John Krafcik in a company release. “Our early riders will play
an important role in shaping the way we bring selfdriving technology into the world — through personal cars, public transportation, ride-hailing, logistics and more. Self-driving cars have the potential to reshape each and every one of these areas, transforming our lives and our cities by making them safer, more convenient and more accessible.” Waymo has made clear it intends to form partnerships with automakers and not build its own selfdriving cars. It’s also in talks with Honda Motor Co. about a potential collaboration.
NEW YORK — Uber is taking to the skies with its next project — “flying cars” — even as all eyes are on its problems on the ground. On Tuesday, the embattled ride-hailing company announced plans for an ondemand network of electric aircraft that can take off and land vertically, like a helicopter. It wants to test a network for such vehicles by 2020. The company says its partners in this Elevate initiative include real estate companies, aircraft manufacturers, electric vehicle charger makers and the cities of Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas. Uber’s Jeff Holden says urban aviation “is a natural next step for Uber.” Uber has been reeling from executive departures and accusations of sexual harassment at its workplace. Results of an internal investigation are expected in May. — The Canadian Press

mere stone’s throw from the playground, kids in Riverside Park are separated by a short fence from the perfectly manicured grass maintained by the Kamloops Riverside Lawn Bowling Club. Players are hoping some of those kids may want to come inside the gate to “try it.” “We need to go younger,” said Bruce Clary, the club’s pastpresident and current membership chairman. The near-centuryold club has about 50 members, operating on prime real estate downtown in the middle of Riverside Park. Its clubhouse is on the bottom floor of Heritage House. Clary would like to see the club’s membership double, with an emphasis on developing a junior program. Just two members are currently in that demographic, but junior co-ordinator Laurel Hunt can rattle off plenty of reasons more should give it a shot. “Of any sport, it’s likely the cheapest sport to play, the least committed sport to play — as far as they

can work it around school, work it around other sports that they’re interested in — and they have the most opportunity to go to national, international levels,” Hunt said. “Because there are so few kids in Canada that play . . . when you go into a tournament, the kids, they don’t have as much competition as you do in hockey, soccer or something like that.”
THE GAME
to four players earn points by rolling bowls — biased balls — closest to a smaller ball, called a jack. It’s mostly played outside on grass or turf. Though it sounds a bit like bocce, it’s more like curling. Forget about the ice, the games are similar in how the balls curl, ends are structured and points are tallied. Originating in England, the game is popular in places like Australia, where lawn bowling can be played while sharing a bevy

— or two. “It’s a social game and a competitive game,” Clary said, noting the goal of eventually allowing adult players the opportunity to imbibe at the local club. Flat shoes are all one needs to get started. The club features casual drop-in nights and league play. Some players compete in one of eight tournaments at the club throughout the season and go on to provincials. A novice tourna-
ment is held in the fall. Another club meets on McArthur Island. Membership fees are $130 for the year but youth members, ages 18 and younger, pay $50. Renting bowls is $20 for the year, compared to a new set of four at about $500.
TRYING IT
A coin flip determines who throws the jack. It must be centred just right, so after it is tossed, the jack is adjusted. Differing in weight with one side rounder
than the other, each player has a set of four bowls that should fit comfortably in the hand. Stepping one foot onto the mat, players line it up with the jack and let ‘er fly. Logos on the side of the bowl help to identify which way the bowl will curl, a slight bias barely noticeable when looking at its curved sides. Alternating shots down the rink, the closest to the jack gets the point, with more points awarded
for bowls on the same team closer than the opposing team. As far as exercise goes, a game can run about 90 minutes and involves walking, bending and throwing. It’s less cardiovascular and muscle and more active lifestyle, which allows it to be played by people of all ages. The club’s Try It Days will be held on Saturday and Sunday. Youth ages 10 to 18 will play from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., while adults will play 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. The event was made possible with funding from the Canada 150 Participaction initiative. Runners will fill the park with a sea of red for Boogie the Bridge and prospective lawn bowlers will be nearby, taking part in youth and adult sessions at no cost. A lesson will be provided, followed by a game or two. To register, call Bruce Clary at 250554-5177, email bclary@hotmail.com or go online to kamloopsriversidelawnbowlingclub.com.

$50K startup contest launched In partnership with the City of Kamloops, Kamloops Innovation has launched the Built in Kamloops Contest, with applications being accepted until May 26. The contest will award an early stage startup with a sixmonth intensive package in Kamloops to launch a business, valued at more than $50,000. “We’re looking for entrepreneurs working

f you are looking for a fantastic place near Kamloops to entertain the kids for the day, look no farther than Peter Hope Lake. This unique lake is surrounded by small marshes and a channel teaming with frogs, turtles, ducks and other wildlife. According to the campsite host, it’s not unusual to see bears, wolves, foxes, coyote and deer, along with more than 50 species of birds in the area. The lake is also great for fly fishing and kayaking,
providing hours of healthy entertainment. The best time to see the frogs is in the spring, when the population explodes. There are frogs of all sizes and shapes that are easy to spot as they sun themselves in the mud bogs. And, if the kids get tired of chasing toads — which is highly unlikely — the campground also has a playground with some tire swings and a sandbox. Be sure to wear proper shoes and bring a picnic lunch because there are no food stands, just plenty of picnic tables and fire pits with peaceful views of the lake.
Fun frog facts
• Frog tongues are attached to the front of their mouths rather than at the back like humans. When a frog catches an insect, it throws its sticky tongue out of its mouth and wraps it around its prey. The frog’s tongue then snaps back and throws the food down its throat. • Frogs begin their lives as tadpoles that are hatched in the water from tiny jelly-covered eggs. The mother frog will lay thousands of eggs at one time. • Frogs are cold-blooded, which means their bodies are the same
temperature as the air or water around them. When they are cold, they will lay in the sun to warm up and when they get too warm, they will go into the water to cool their bodies off. • Scientists have found frogs fossils that date back to the Jurassic period, more than 140-million years ago. • Small- to medium-sized frogs eat insects such as flies, mosquitoes, moths and dragonflies. Larger frogs will eat larger insects like grasshoppers and worms. • Some large frogs will even eat small snakes, mice, baby turtles — and even other smaller frogs.

Draft day looms for Blazers 2017 WHL Bantam Draft
MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER

F
or the Kamloops Blazers’ scouting staff, the WHL Bantam Draft is the most wonderful time of the year. “This is like their Christmas,” Blazers’ general manager Stu MacGregor said. Area scouts from across Western Canada have been making their lists and checking them twice since last fall, travelling snowy roads and spending time away from family to make sure the Blazers are prepared for Thursday, May 4, when the draft takes over the Deerfoot Inn in Calgary. Kamloops will pick 14th overall. While most of the hard work has been done, there is still plenty to hammer out, decisions that lead to one final list of 2002-born players, prospects projected to begin contributing at the majorjunior level in the next few years. The Blazers’ draft team will begin assembling this week in Canmore at the Alberta Cup, which marks the beginning of the final countdown to draft day. Those who plan to attend the draft are MacGregor, director of player personnel Matt Recchi, director of hockey Tim O’Donovan, head scout Ken Fox, Alberta/travelling scout Mark Blair, Alberta/California scout Warren Renden, Kootenay scout Rick Allen, Saskatchewan scout Mike Leier and Lower Mainland scout RoyEl Caswell. “The banter really starts now,” Recchi said, noting rinks at the Alberta Cup tournament will be filled with WHL GMs and scouts. “We’ll hear about teams with multiple picks looking to trade for players, teams looking to move up or down in the draft, banter about teams looking to make bigger trades. Things will really start to crank up over the next five days.” The Alberta Cup, B.C. Cup, SaskFirst Tournament and Hockey Manitoba Cup, which bring

together the top under-16 players in each province, are held in consecutive weeks leading up to the draft, offering talent adjudicators one last chance to evaluate. Recchi said the Blazers will rank about 75 to 100 players, with their final war-room session set to take place the day before the draft. “It gets heated,” Recchi said of the internal discussions. “Everybody has their opinion. If everybody is agreeing, we’re probably all wrong. We like diversity. We like guys to challenge other people, in terms of what they see in the players they like. “It’s that good communication and passion that puts together our best list possible.” With their first-round pick, the Blazers will select the top-ranked player — regardless of position — remaining on their list when they are on the clock at No. 14. Kamloops took a risk last year when it nabbed top prospect Massimo Rizzo with the 15th overall pick, knowing the Burnaby product had not settled on playing in the WHL.
Whether the gamble pays off remains to be seen, as the Rizzo family has not yet made its intentions clear for next season. The Blazers will not roll the dice next Thursday, Recchi said, noting the club’s first-round pick will be expected to sign a WHL contract in short order. After the first few rounds, the strategy is less straightforward than simply picking the top player remaining on the draft list, with positional needs coming into consideration. “We think we have good balance,” MacGregor said. “We feel pretty good about the defencemen we have in our system. We could add some. “You need forwards that can score goals. That’s a big thing for every organization. Get someone who can score goals.” During draft week, trade talk and rumours can emanate from just about anywhere in the Deerfoot Inn and nearby hotels. “There’s the banquet the day before the draft and people are always milling about in the lobby.
It heats up pretty good,” Recchi said. “A lot of it is just stirring the pot, but it can result in something happening for sure.” The Blazers are without a second-round pick and will be looking to change that, but MacGregor isn’t willing to sell the farm to get there. “In this draft, a player you get in the second round might be the same as you get in the fourth round,” MacGregor said. “If the price is right, maybe.” The Blazers’ GM likes the depth of the draft, but said there might be a dearth of top-end players. Groundwork for draft-day deals has been laid over the past three weekends at the provincial cup events and more dance partners will find each other in the coming week. Prior to the 2016 draft, the Red Deer Rebels made it clear they would be willing to trade their first-round pick if the player they wanted was unavailable at No. 11. When he was nabbed in the top 10, the Rebels knew the Kelowna

Rockets were among their suitors and a deal was done on the floor. “We go through all the scenarios about 10 minutes before we pick, so we’re prepared and not running around on draft day trying to find somebody to trade with,” Recchi said. No matter how much homework is done, there is still an element of unpredictability involved with the draft. The same can be said about the players who will be selected next week. See NO EXACT, A12

No exact science to player projection From A21
“You’re dealing with families, dealing with agents, dealing with young men who may decide they don’t want to be hockey players any more,” MacGregor said. “You have to do a lot of of background and follow up to be sure they’re really committed to the game. “There is a huge amount of projection. You’re projecting a 14 turning 15-year-old to what he might be at 18, 19, 20. Everybody who has kids knows they change a lot in that time. “It’s a bit of a crapshoot.” EXTRA FRAME: The Prince Albert Raiders will pick first overall. Picking two through five in the first round, in order, will be Kootenay, Vancouver, Edmonton and Saskatoon. . . .

Canucks announce Green as new bench boss in Vancouver the NHL last season and was near the bottom in several offensive categories.
“I know we have to create more offence,’’ Green said. “Our special teams have to get better. I think there’s a way you can create offence nowadays with the way the game is played, but that’s definitely an area where we’ll have to improve.’’ Part of that will involve getting young assets involved in Vancouver’s rebuilding process. The Canucks are still led by Henrik and Daniel Sedin, who turn 37 in September, but have a promising core of younger players led by Bo Horvat, Sven Baertschi and Markus Granlund up front, along with Ben Hutton and Troy Stecher on defence. Brock Boeser also impressed late in the year after joining Vancouver following his college season, while Jake Virtanen, another former first-round pick, spent most of 2016-2017 with Green in the AHL working on his game. Add to that the Canucks’ acquisition of forwards Jonathan Dahlen and Nikolay Goldobin for veterans Alexandre Burrows and Jannik Hansen prior to the trade deadline, as well as having the second-best odds of winning Saturday’s draft lottery, and Green should have plenty to work with. Green spent the last four seasons coaching the Canucks’ top farm team, the Utica Comets of the American Hockey League. Prior to that, he coached the Portland Winterhawks to a 20122013 Western Hockey League title and an appearance in the 2013 Memorial Cup final. He replaces Willie Desjardins, who spent the last three seasons in Vancouver and was fired earlier this month, less than 24 hours after the Canucks finished the season. Similar to Desjardins when he took the job in June 2014, Green has zero experience as an NHL head coach. Green has also never been an NHL assistant and is the Canucks’ fourth head coach since May 2013.

Her Journey’s Just Begun by E. Brenneman
Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun. Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away. And think of her as living, In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much.
EACH LOSS Each loss is very different, The pain is so severe. Will I ever stop missing This one I loved so dear? Good times we had together, The moments that we shared We didn’t have to tell each other How much we really cared. I never dreamed you’d go away, Never thought of sorrow. So sure you’d always be here Took for granted each tomorrow. Now my life is all confused Since you went away. You took a part of me And for help I daily pray. But when God sent you to me He never said that you were mine, That I could keep you always – Only borrowed for a time. Now, He’s called you home, I’m sad and I shed tears. Yet I’m glad He loaned you to me And we had these many years.
