MAY 9, 2017 | Volume 30 No. 55

T

wenty-eight days of official campaigning, preceded by months of unofficial lobbying for votes, has led to today, when voters go to the polls in the 41st provincial general election.

Voter turnout plummeted in the seven general elections between 1983 (70.5 per cent voter participation) and 2009 (51 per cent voter participation) before rising a bit in 2013 (55.3 per cent).

Still, the turnout of eligible voters in the last election was the third-lowest ever recorded in B.C. There are 3,156,991 eligible voters in the province and 19.4 per cent of them (614,389) cast votes in six days of advance polls, including 6,871 in KamloopsNorth Thompson and 7,087 in Kamloops-South Thompson.

Previous elections have also seen an increase in advance votes, but stagnation on general election day.

Polls are open today from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and a full list of voting places can be found on page A6 of today’s edition and online at kamloopsthisweek. com under the BC Election 2017 tab.

To find your specific voting place, go online to elections.bc.ca.

Also under that tab are reams of election campaign stories on candidates and issues for readers to review before casting ballots.

For coverage of election results tonight, KTW will have reporters with the Liberal, NDP, Green and Communist candidates.

Reporters will be filing stories and notes constantly to the KTW newsroom, where staff will be updating online at kamloopsthisweek.com with stories, photos, results and a running blog.

City of Kamloops staff are staying on alert after another weekend of flooding damage on the edges of the city.

In Heffley Creek, where residents were without water for 20 hours this weekend, emergency operations centre information officer Tammy Robertson said significant erosion and high waters could keep Old Highway 5 closed for up to a month.

Robertson said water in Heffley Creek overtook a culvert late Friday night, rising high enough to begin eroding the roadway between Tatlow and Creek roads and rupturing the area’s water main.

“About half the roadway in that area has eroded down the bank and is gone,” Robertson said.

While the water services was restored on Sunday, road repairs can’t begin until the water in Heffley Creek recedes. It’s not yet clear what remaking the road will cost.

In Barnhartvale, where Campbell Creek’s rising waters have been a concern to residents for more than two weeks, Roberston said the situa-

tion remains fluid.

“Water levels are going up, going down throughout our monitoring, so we’ll be continuing to be there 24 hours a day until we get more certainty the water levels are receding consistently,” she said.

While the city was concerned the creek would threaten its bridges and roads through the weekend, Robertson said there was minimal damage to infrastructure, noting the city has no public safety concerns at this time, though a major heat wave or rainstorm could change the situation.

Residents along the creek aren’t the only ones feeling the effects of its high waters.

At the B.C. Wildlife Park in Dallas, general manager Glenn Grant said Campbell Creek has washed out the Dipper Falls nature trail and it’s likely it will take out a portion of the fence around the park’s mountain goat habitat.

Grant said the mountain goats have been moved in with the bighorn sheep as a precaution, adding plans are being made to reroute the fence in the event of a washout.

“I don’t think there’s anything we can do to prevent it,” he said.

Old Highway 5 in Heffley Creek could be closed for up to a month.

CITY OF KAMLOOPS PHOTO

“It’s just a mud bank, so it’s going to keep eroding no matter what we do.”

Park staff are also sandbagging on the park’s west side, where a gravel service road is being washed away.

Grant said it’s unlikely the trail will re-open this season.

“Campbell Creek is a massively swift-flowing creek,” he said.

“I know the problems they’re having up in Barnhartvale and this is all the water from that area — once it washed out Barnhartvale Road, this is where it’s coming.”

Noble Creek in Westsyde was also the site of another repair over the weekend after the creek again breached its banks in a spot previously repaired on Thursday.

Robertson said the repairs were conducted by Kinder Morgan, which has pipeline in the area.

As of yesterday, the creek was flowing normally.

Robertson said the city has spent about $350,000 on repairs since water began flowing, including work to shore up a slumping hillside in the Palmer-Forsyth area of Rayleigh, where 22 people remain evacuated.

Robertson said a pipe the city installed to divert spring water from the hillside appears to be working and movement of the hillside has been greatly reduced.

“What we now need to understand is what happens if we see some rain on that hillside,” she said.

The city is using provincial emergency repair funds for the work.

John Ranta was one of the last people to see Clayton Cassidy alive.

The mayor of Cache Creek had been responding to a call from a village resident on Thursday night, when rising water levels caused debris to build up under one of the bridges crossing a fast-flowing Cache Creek.

Fire chief Cassidy and the volunteer fire department were also on site and crews worked late into the night to get the water flowing again.

What happened in the hours that followed is a question still haunting Cache Creek.

Cassidy was last seen at about 3 a.m., when he went to check water levels around the village.

It is believed he was checking a culvert near Brookside Campground, east of the village, and was swept away in Cache Creek.

On Sunday afternoon, Ashcroft RCMP said the search would continue as a recovery effort, the chief presumed dead, after more than 72 hours missing.

“Over the weekend, extensive efforts were conducted to search shorelines, with people physically on the ground, as well as aerial searches,” RCMP Cpl. Dan Moskaluk told KTW. “Those searches did not yield any sign of Mr. Cassidy. Given the information that we had and the lack of signs, we’re presuming at this time that he had fallen in the water and is believed to have perished.”

Many residents feared the worst from early in the search.

It was unlike Cassidy, a 30-year veteran of the volunteer fire department and chief for more than a decade, to go so long without checking in.

More concerning, his vehicle was found near the campground on Friday morning, its engine still running.

“At this point, I haven’t heard they’ve discovered him. But, unfortunately, having found his

CLAYTON CASSIDY

vehicle this morning with the engine running, that’s very much unlike Clayton Cassidy. Many people in the community are fearing the worst,” Cache Creek mayor John Ranta said Friday afternoon.

“Our thoughts and prayers go out to, first of all, Clayton, but to his wife and family and everybody in the community. He was so engaged and so involved. It’s a tragedy of epic proportions for the village of Cache Creek.”

Water levels started rising in the village around suppertime on Thursday night, when snow melt and heavy rains led to the Cache Creek swelling beyond its banks. Culverts were blocked by debris and the village lost a number of bridges.

Reached Monday morning, Ranta said the village had the flooding well in hand, but the search for Cassidy had yet to yield results. Volunteers including Kamloops Search and Rescue had been in the area since Friday. A helicopter, swift water rescue and drone teams, a canine unit and ground searchers covered extensive swaths surrounding the village — from Cache Creek, to where it feeds into the Bonaparte River and, eventually, to the Thompson River.

“I think the cool evening will continue to moderate the water flows in Cache Creek and, hopefully, the water will begin to clear up so that we can see into the river,” said Ranta, who described the water as looking like chocolate soup.

“They’ve been scouring both banks — at this point, no luck. Everyone is working hard because we know that if the shoe

was on the other foot, Clayton would be out searching for us.”

Cassidy was a fixture in Cache Creek, a village of more than 1,000 people 85 kilometres west of Kamloops.

On Friday, residents said they were devastated by the disappearance of a man who also coached hockey, soccer and softball, served on the Cache Creek Elementary School Parental Advisory Committee and had shepherded the community through the destruction of the 2015 Cache Creek Flood.

In 2016, the 59-year-old was awarded the province’s Medal of Good Citizenship for his work during the flood. The medal recognizes individuals who, through exceptional long-term service, have made outstanding contributions to their communities without expectation of remuneration or reward.

“He’s a hell of a nice guy,” 54-year-old Donna Berwin said Friday. She had known Cassidy for nearly her entire life.

“He’s an awesome man.”

A number of family members took to social media to thank volunteers throughout the weekend as search efforts continued.

“Wanted to say a huge thank you from the Cassidy family to everyone that came out today,” Derek Cassidy, Clayton’s son, said on Facebook on Saturday morning. “Thanks everyone for looking out for each other today.

Our dad would want us to be safe out there.”

Ranta said the outpouring of support for the village has been tremendous. Crews continued the search yesterday in hopes of reuniting Clayton with his family.

“Everybody just wants to work together to achieve closure for the family,” Ranta said.

The mayor has been in close contact with Clayton’s wife, his three sons and his seven brothers and sisters.

“The uncertainty of not knowing what happened to Clayton, or where he is, is what’s motivating everybody in the community to get out and volunteer and help to try and find him.”

In Cherry Creek, damage is immense ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Cherry Creek hasn’t done this in 30 years.

In her few spare moments from helping residents deal with disastrous flooding in her regional district, Ronaye Elliott was at a loss for words to describe the devastation that has forced the evacuation of 11 properties in the community 22 kilometres west of Kamloops.

“People on the evacuation order, some of them are still in their homes because they’re trying to save them,” said Elliott, the TNRD director for Area J, which includes Cherry Creek and Savona south of Kamloops Lake and a swath of land from Red Lake to Vidette in the north. “The threat is over. The houses are done. There are no roads in or out of Cherry Creek anywhere.”

Elliott said the regional district helped to establish a temporary road off Rodeo Drive to help some of the stranded residents in the Cherry Creek area.

But the damage has been immense. In addition to a number of washed-out roads, backyards, patios and outbuildings have been destroyed. Of the 11 properties in the area, Elliott estimated three or four will likely be beyond saving.

A handful of small animal farms have also been devastated.

“All it did was overflow its banks and made a whole new creek and just went through peoples’ properties,” Elliott said.

The community laid down more than 10,000 sandbags over the weekend, but couldn’t keep up with the swollen creek.

“It was probably 40 feet wide in the lower areas,” she said. “It went into peoples’ basements who are a long ways from the creek.

It hasn’t done this in 30 years.”

The situation is similar across the TNRD. Seven more properties in Cherry Creek are on evacuation alert, as are eight properties near Mill Creek and another 41 near Guichon Creek.

“In Cherry Creek, the [evacuation] order was necessitated because of the flood waters impacting structures,” said Debbie Sell, information officer for the TNRD emergency operations centre.

“In some of the other areas where we currently have alerts on, it was more that there were roads and bridges that were being impacted and, in some cases, also some structures.”

Sell said the TNRD has been connecting residents with sandbagging supplies and has established an emergency social ser-

vices reception centre on McArthur Island for evacuated residents. Until the water recedes, not much else can be done.

Yesterday, the province announced disaster financial assistance had been made available to homeowners, tenants, small business owners, charitable organizations, farmers and government bodies impacted by flooding. Financial assistance up to 80 per cent of eligible damages, to a maximum of $300,000 will be covered.

Elsewhere, a mud slide closed Highway 1 east of Canoe and again at the east boundary of Glacier National Park. Highway 8 was washed out in the Lower Nicola and again 25 kilometres west of Merritt. Highway 97A was closed from Grindrod to Sicamous and Highway 97D was closed 10 kilometres east of its junction with Highway 97C in Logan Lake because of a wash out.

In nearby Savona, the west end of Kamloops Lake has risen immensely in the last weekend, Elliott said. There may soon be some flooding there, too.

And the worst may be yet to come.

“We haven’t gotten to high water yet. We still have snow on Greenstone. It has got to come down,” she said of the mountain whose snowpack feeds Cherry Creek.

“It’s scary.”

WHY FLOODS OCCURRED The recipe for flooding conditions that have swept away roads and small bridges in the Southern Interior has been building since February — a mix of cold and wet conditions that suddenly turned warm.

Add some rain into the mix and it’s a predictable outpouring into small tributaries that cannot handle the freshet influx.

The amount of rainfall in the past three months, February through April, was 185 per cent of normal, according to figures at Kamloops Airport. Just over 73 millimetres of rain fell during the period.

Environment Canada Meteorologist Matt MacDonald said the period was also 1.5 C colder than normal.

Those conditions set the stage for last week, with a spike in warm weather — as much as 6 C higher than normal — followed by thunderstorms and rain.

As of April 1, the regional snowpack in the South and North Thompson watersheds was only slightly above normal. But MacDonald said that snowpack continued to build later in the month.

“The snowpack typically reaches its maximum in midApril, but it continued to grow until last week.”

B.C.’s river forecast centre released statistics Monday showing the snowpack in the South Thompson watershed at 115 per cent of normal and North Thompson at 112 per cent. April was the 13th wettest on record in Kamloops, with data dating back to the 19th century.

MacDonald said this week’s forecast “looks like an exact repeat,” with temperatures reaching a sunny 27 C on Wednesday, followed by several days of showery weather.

Depending on snowpack levels, that could again bring cresting of local tributaries.

Guilty plea to child-porn charge

FORMER BARRIERE FIRE CHIEF WILL SERVE AT LEAST SIX MONTHS IN PRISON TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The former fire chief of Barriere has admitted he was in possession of child pornography last October, when police seized computers from his home and offices.

Al Kirkwood pleaded guilty in Kamloops provincial court yesterday to possession of child pornography.

The 62-yearold, who had been Barriere’s fire chief prior to his arrest on Oct. 4, said nothing during the brief hearing, during which his lawyer, Michael Shapray, entered the plea on Kirkwood’s behalf.

Kirkwood, who had also served as the

publisher of the North Thompson Star Journal and the Clearwater Times newspapers, agreed to a plea deal in which the Crown will proceed summarily, meaning the maximum sentence drops to two years in prison from 10 years and the minimum sentence is reduced to six months in prison from one year.

At the time of Kirkwood’s arrest, police said they executed four search warrants. Kirkwood had also been charged with a count of importing child pornography, but that allegation is expected to be stayed by the Crown after sentencing.

Police said the investigation into Kirkwood’s activities

began in August after the RCMP received information from U.S. law enforcement officials.

Mounties said there is nothing to indicate local children were “directly victimized by the accused.”

Kirkwood resigned from his post as Barriere’s fire chief on Oct. 7 after more than 20 years in the position. Black Press, which owns the newspapers he published, has said Kirkwood is no longer with the company.

Lawyers are expected to meet on June 24 to set a date for Kirkwood’s sentencing.

In the meantime, he will meet with officials to undergo a courtordered psychological evaluation.

Austin Eyres has been in custody since his arrest in August 2016.

Kami Cabs driver Cal Huntington was stabbed in the earlymorning hours of Aug. 24 near the intersection of Pleasant Street and Eighth Avenue in South Kamloops. Huntington had previously picked up a fare at a Sahali gas station.

Eyres was arrested a short time later and charged the following day. He has been in custody since.

The 20-year-old had been slated to return to court on July 17 for the start of a three-week trial. But defence lawyer Jay Michi said the hearing will instead be a one-hour guilty plea and sentencing.

VIEWPOINT EXPECT TURNOUT TO RISE TODAY

A

robust turnout in the six advance voting days has led to some optimism with respect to the percentage of eligible voters who will go to the polls today.

However, that optimism should be tempered by the reality of elections past.

While advance-voting stats during this election campaign were encouraging — almost 20 per cent of eligible voters decided to cast ballots early — similarly strong numbers in past elections did not result in a spike in attendance at ballot boxes on general election day.

In 1983, Bill Bennett and his Social Credit party were re-elected and introduced a restraint budget that sparked the months-long Solidarity labour protests. In that election, 70.5 per cent of eligible voters in B.C. cast ballots.

That percentage steadily fell in subsequent elections: 65.8 per cent in 1986, 64 per cent in 1991, 59 per cent in 1996 and 55.4 per cent in 2001.

It jumped to 58.2 per cent in the 2005 election before plummeting again to 51 per cent in 2009.

The last election, in 2013, saw 55.3 per cent of eligible voters cast ballots — which means almost half of all eligible voters did not bother to take part, despite the fact Elections BC has made it easier to do so with each election.

Based on the buzz during this election campaign, it appears as though voters are more engaged this time around.

Along with the core of Liberal and NDP supporters who have helped those two parties dominate the political system, a large influx of Green supporters — some new to politics, others moving from supporting other parties — has worked to reshape the province into a three-party structure. Previous attempts to do likewise (Reformers in the 1990s and Conservatives during the last election) failed and did not result in a bump at the polls.

Whether that changes after tonight’s vote count remains to be seen, but be prepared to see a significant spike in voter turnout.

Do your part and vote. You have 12 hours: from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Here’s what motivates this city councillor

T

his week, a multitude of questions.

What motivates each individual to vote one way or the other on given

issues?

How easily are they led by staff recommendations?

How much influence do special interest groups have on council?

How often is an individual councillor driven by ideology?

At what point can we assume a councillor’s decisions are selfserving?

Do split votes indicate a dysfunctional council or do onesided votes reflect a council not interested in debate?

Do decisions that lack excitement identify a visionless council?

Do outspoken councillors who may push the limits of decorum truly represent the concerns of the community or are they just seeking attention?

I haven’t made up these questions. In fact, they are based on comments I’ve heard or read during my short time on council.

It’s apparent there are some in our community who are truly concerned that one or more of these questions need consideration.

I don’t disagree.

I have found, however, that many of the concerns stem from not having all the information.

That’s not the public’s fault, but is a result of how we get the message across. Clarity is extremely important and I find at times the waters are muddied.

The result is the public reacts to its interpretation of the information that may possibly not reflect the original intent.

I’ve also found that, as a society, we have become headline readers and often skip the body of the story. Headlines are there to grab your attention. The idea is to have you continue reading so you have the full picture, but in our Twitter society, we’re satisfied with short sentences and sound bites.

Again, it makes it increasingly more important that we provide clear and concise messaging.

I cannot and will not presume to speak for the rest of my colleagues on council. They would address these questions based on their experience and convictions.

DIETER DUDY

View From

CITY HALL However, I would like to address them.

I am motivated initially by values. Does what we’re considering fit within not only my value system, but within the value system of my constituents?

Will it benefit the majority of the public? Will it cause undue harm?

I am also motivated by compelling arguments made by other councillors who may well identify deficiencies in my argument. I am also sometimes motivated by strong public sentiment. Regardless of my personal beliefs, there are times when the public speaks overwhelmingly one way or the other on an issue that to ignore them would be indefensible.

Staff are council’s strongest resource.

They are educated and practised in their respective areas of expertise. To not consider their input would render them meaningless. However, there are also times when staff recommendations do not mesh with council’s strategic vision or may put unnecessary strain on our budget and we find ourselves having to deny a staff request.

Special interest groups are no different than any other member of the public. They deserve no more nor less consideration than any other individual bringing points of view or concerns to council. I consider them along with all other information I receive on a given issue. To do otherwise would be an abrogation of trust.

Every councillor is driven by ideology. We all have core values that are based on ideals. There is no escaping that fact.

An effective councillor, though, is one who will also consider competing ideals to ensure nothing has been left to chance.

One of the reasons I love

local government is its lack of partisanship.

Rules are in place to stop councillors from being selfserving.

They are clear and to breach them involves serious consequences. As with others on council, I can’t promote or be seen to promote my other life.

I don’t for one minute believe lively debate that results in close votes is a bad thing. In fact, I consider it to be healthy.

We have a diverse council and, as a result, we have diverse points of view. Debate allows all stones to be uncovered and all aspects of an issue are considered. If council agreed on every issue unanimously, I agree it would look as if we simply rubber-stamped everything put in front of us.

At times, council is faced with a decision that appears lacklustre at best, resulting in the label of being visionless.

Once again, this is where we may need more clarity in showing why and how we arrived at a decision. Our strategic plan outlines our vision and it is clear. Unfortunately, sometimes circumstance will temper our desire to proceed. Go the other way and we would be deemed impulsive.

There is an argument out there that once you are on council, you lose the right to speak your mind. If that were true, I would never have run for council.

The whole idea of council is to get a cross-section of views that result in the creation of quality policy and communitybuilding, along with setting a direction for staff that benefits the public as a whole.

That being said, it’s less a case of what we say than it is of how we say it. Express your point of view, but always do it with respect.

I knew entering local government that my motives and methods would be questioned, but I will with absolute conviction state they have always been — and will always be — wellintentioned.

Our health is about taking care of ourselves and doing things that prevent us from getting sick: immunization, active living, stopping sins of the flesh such as tobacco smoking and excess alcohol use, healthy eating and weight control.

If access to doctors is a problem, we can ease that by helping ourselves. Employing nonphysician health workers such as nurses, nurse practitioners and physician assistants to deliver health care is efficient and efficacious, with a bonus of these practitioners spending more time with patients.

Having lived and worked in resource-poor countries such as Haiti, Nepal and Sierra Leone, I am grateful to live in a country where health care is so accessible and of high quality. It is not just because we have lots well-trained doctors (on the global scale).

Re-thinking how we use our health-care resources is critical or we will surely be using all of our tax dollars to take care of so many of our self-induced diseases.

Poaching doctors from countries that can ill afford to lose them is not a solution.

HELP KEEP BROCKLEHURST CLEAN AND TIDY Editor: I’ve been doing the Adopt-ARoad program in Brocklehurst for several years.

I am sick to my belly from picking up used needles, discarded condoms and bags of dope.

What if a child picks up these things?

I discard what I find in the toilet. I think portable safe-

injection sites are OK because they will keep the dope and needles where they belong.

That said, I would like to know if someone can volunteer to help me with a riverside cleanup at the end of Strauss Street in Brock.

There is protruding rebar from construction waste dumped there years ago. I do not have the tools to cut this

unsafe rebar away.

I’ve seen people fishing there and kids playing by the river.

A few years ago, a few teenagers helped me remove iron engine blocks, old tires and car parts from the water at the same location.

I have since been hacksawing unsightly steel fence posts from the waste at the same

location.

Those who can help can contact me by email at rev. davey@hotmail.com.

I’ve been Married for 25 years to my beautiful wife Sangita. We have two kids in university that we are very proud off. Together my wife and I are co-owners and operators to 9 Subway restaurants in Kamloops. I’ve always been a big supporter of our community and enjoy spending my time volunteering.

ABOUT Mz EILLEN DOVER

Mz Eillen is married to husband Dick and has two kids, Carrie and Ben. She is a Homemaker, and is very shy and introverted. Eillen loves the environmental and rides her bicycle to town rather then a vehicle. She likes cats - owns 27 - not a dog person. She won’t touch smokers or booze, and loves reading books instead of watching TV. Don’t even get Eillen started on flying — speeding through the air in a metal tube tightly packed in with a large group of people — NO THANK YOU! Hopefully by doing all this, she will become more assertive and confident.

Mz TUCKER-JOHNSON

I work at Red Beard as a Barista, Bartender and Garden Master. I am also a fulltime student at TRU in the Horticulture Diploma program. I have many hobbies from singing in the local community choir Serious Options, to hiking, and even turning pens!

In the past, I have also taken lessons for tap dancing and been apart of the Tournament City Derby Dolls!

ABOUT Mz RUBY SNAPDRAGON

Wyatt works at Mastermind Studios in Kamloops,BC. He is also a stage actor and voice actor. He has always been a proponent of inclusion and acceptance, and much like Mz Tucker-Johnson is rough around the edges. He loves good food, strong drink, but most importantly solid friends. He is very excited to be a part of Mz Judged and to support ASK Wellness in his own way.

I believe it was Dita von Teese who said, “It’s not about seducing a man, it’s about embracing womanhood.” I have always been a fan of the Pin-up movement. The women of this era were looking for new ways to dress and express themselves creating appearances that were edgy and curvy thus creating the pencil skirt, pin curls and of course the stunning red lips! My inspiration come s from many different women and time periods – Gil Elvgren, Bettie Page, Marilyn Monroe and even Sabina Kelly and Ruby Rose of our era. OH! And please don’t forget the gorgeous men in their tight blue Levis and tight white t’s. Boy, wouldn’t I love to play back seat bingo with one of those men, maybe Marlon Brando or Paul Newman or even James Dean! What a bunch of “Studly Hipsters!”

ABOUT Mz TUCKER-JOHNSON

She’s a lady that has a hard time being a lady in a traditional sense. The definition of beauty is a broad spectrum for her and she shows that off in everything she does. She’s a little rough around the edges but what fun person isn’t. Her parents are well off and have secured her a spot in this pageant through significant monetary contribution, but now she just wants to use the stage to have fun and show the crowd that despite the standard she can be beautiful in her own way.

About EVAN

$150K to find ways to treat patients DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

When a patient not quite ready to go home has to be moved out of Kelowna General Hospital, there are two options — the hospitals in Vernon and Penticton.

In Kamloops, however, there is no similar option.

“You’re not going home until you can go home to your house,” said Heidi Coleman CEO of the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation.

“And that means we’re holding patients

because we can’t decant them somewhere else.”

The only other option is to be moved into Ponderosa Lodge, which is next to RIH. Ponderosa is a 42-yearold building that has small rooms on three floors to provide various short-term lodging for which patients must pay a daily $32 fee for meals and care.

It’s one of the reasons why the Stollery Foundation has given Coleman’s office $150,000 over two years to devise ways that could replace moving patients into Ponderosa.

There are plenty of ways the money could be used, Coleman said, and the RIH Foundation is starting to take a look at them.

For example, a solution could be something as simple as helping a patient who requires accessibility tools to be able to return home.

It’s just one of many new ventures happening in the city to help ease the strain on the health-care system.

Three new outpatient clinics are also being created, two in RIH’s clinical-services building and one at the Interior Health Authority offices in Lansdowne Village.

The clinical-services building will be home to a rapid-access cardiac examination clinic that will provide ongoing support and medical advice, stress and echocardiogram tests and other services to patients with chronic cardiac conditions.

It will also have a rapid-access internal medicine clinic that will provide services to patients with chronic illnesses as outpatients rather than seeing them come into the emergency department for treatment of symptoms.

Lansdowne Centre will be home to a painmanagement clinic, Coleman said.

All three are expected to open sometime this year.

“People will avoid admissions to the hospital,” she said, noting they will be treated in the community.

hen Shar Froese first came across a YouTube tutorial to crochet sleeping mats from plastic grocery bags, she wasn’t expecting the groundswell of community interest that was about to come her way.

She was thinking about one of her daughters.

While struggling with alcohol and drug addition, she’d spent time on the street in Vancouver, Froese said, sleeping in dumpsters and whatever warm spots she could find.

“I thought about her in that dumpster, and I walk by and see these guys in the winter time living on the street and think, this is crazy.

There’s no reason for it,” she said. “So when I saw the mats, I thought, I can do that.”

Froese said the mats can keep water out of bedding, helping people sleeping on the streets stay warm. They’re also washable, lightweight and inhospitable to lice and bedbugs.

Once the mats are complete, she hopes to team up with ASK Wellness and the SPCA to put them to use. In some cases, she’s making them specially for people she knows — including a double mat for a couple.

Each mat takes about four to five days of work — much of that cutting plastic bags into strips and tying them together to make yarn

(Above) Kamloops Centre for Seniors Information assistant executive director Brandi Allen, Gwen Erixon and Amber Hum work on mats crocheted from plastic shopping bags at the Brock Activity Centre on Thursday. The centre is hosting mat-making sessions weekly as part of its ongoing stitching group. (Below) Sandra Tully makes plastic grocery bags into yarn at the Brock Activity Centre on Thursday. The strips of plastic will be crocheted into mats for Kamloops’ homeless and the SPCA.

for crocheting. They also take anywhere from 500 to 700 bags, which is what first led Froese to post a social media call for more materials.

“It just went nuts,” she said. “I was picking up bags all over the place, people were dropping them off at my house. I thought, this is too much.”

She’s since teamed up with the Kamloops Centre for Seniors’ Information (CSI), which will offer drop-in mat making sessions every Thursday from 10 a.m. to noon, as part of its regular stitching group at the Brock Activity Centre.

The Centre, located in the Brock Shopping Centre, will also take bags any time between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. on weekdays.

Brandi Allen, assistant executive director, said the centre hopes to secure grants to create mat-marking kits with instructions and materials other community groups can use to work outside of drop-in hours.

For now, they’re working with Froese to teach others how to make the blankets, either through tutorials at the centre, or by setting up evening sessions for larger organizations.

Froese said she’s got teaching sessions lined up as far away as Savona and messages coming in from Mexico.

“It’s like, what happened?” she said. “I only asked for bags.”

Bags can also be dropped off at The Garage, 1331 Battle St., and SPCA Thrift Store,

Liberals on defensive over infrastructure plan Grant Dolson

685 NOTRE DAME DRIVE TOLL FREE: 1-855-314-6307

JORDAN PRESS ANDY BLATCHFORD

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The Trudeau government was on the defensive yesterday over its plans to create a new infrastructure financing body amid opposition accusations that the Liberals had given global investors too much power over the agency’s design.

The Liberals have consulted private investors for months about how to build the agency after a federal economic advisers, including some whose groups could benefit financially from infrastructure investments, recommended the government create a bank to build more roads, bridges and transit systems to fuel economic growth.

And late last year, the Liberals asked global investment giant BlackRock to bring together some of the world’s top private and institutional investors and refine the government’s pitch for their money.

During question period yesterday, the opposition parties charged that the new agency would help well-connected investment bankers, pensionfund managers and their clients who are helping with the bank’s design pad their bottom lines.

“This is a blatant conflict,’’ interim Conservative leader Rona Ambrose said. “The prime minister has turned to BlackRock for all kinds of advice setting up this bank. That’s like the three little pigs hiring the big, bad wolf to be their contractor.’’

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his government consulted

!

NEW

private investors, the Federation of Canadian Municipalities and local chambers of commerce about the design of the Liberals’ infrastructure program, which includes the bank. He said the Liberals need the bank to help pay for all the country’s infrastructure needs.

Drawing in on different sources of capital, so that people can get to work and home on time, people can get their goods to markets, create good middleclass jobs, is a priority for us,’’ Trudeau said.

The proposed bank would take $35 billion in government funding to entice private investment in projects like public transit systems, highways and electrical grids that generate revenues through user fees or tolls.

Approximately $15 billion of that will be cash, with the remaining $20 billion in the form of repayable loans or equity stakes that the Liberals say won’t affect the government’s bottom line.

The Liberals predict they can leverage three or four times the federal investment in private dollars for projects in three key areas: trade corridors, green infrastructure and public transit.

Any project selected for the bank would have to generate revenue and be in the public interest.

The Liberals argue the federal money going to the bank is a fraction of the overall spending infrastructure plan and that cities, provinces and territories will have the option of using the bank.

The Liberals plan to spend $81.2 billion on their infrastructure program over the next 11

years, including the money for the bank.

“The role of the bank is to structure financial deals,’’ Infrastructure Minister Amarjeet Sohi said after question period.

“It is not the role of the bank to build infrastructure or procure infrastructure. It’s just to bring players together to better finance the infrastructure.’’

The opposition charges in question period overwhelmed a day when the Liberals had hoped for some positive headlines about the new agency.

Earlier Monday, Sohi was in Toronto to announce that city as the future home to the bank’s headquarters. The government hopes the location gives officials easy access to investors in the city’s financial district whose dollars the Liberals need to make the agency a success.

Quebec Liberal MPs pushed to have the office located in Montreal, home to a light rail project being financed by the province’s pension fund which could be an early candidate for funding from the federal agency.

And Alberta officials, including Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi, publicly promoted Calgary as a home for the bank.

But the Liberals appeared set on Toronto weeks before yesterday’s announcement after private consultations kept leading back to the investors along Bay Street. Sohi said the city was home to the necessary expertise that the bank needs.

The Liberals are also starting a search to find a chair for the agency’s board of directors, the directors themselves and the chief executive officer.

NATIONAL NEWS

Man, young girl Leaders press for votes on last among missing day of election as Quebec THE CANADIAN PRESS

RICHMOND — Christy Clark says British B.C. News Columbia voters who want more jobs and no deficits will have a clear choice when they cast their ballots during today’s provincial election.

The Liberal leader was touting her party as the choice for young people who want to avoid a future of crippling provincial debt that she says would be inevitable under an NDP or Green government.

Clark had a packed schedule on the final day of the four-week campaign, with stops scheduled across the Lower Mainland and on Vancouver Island.

Fielding questions outside an airport hangar in Richmond, Clark dismissed suggestions she would collaborate with the Green party if no party wins a majority, saying neither it nor the NDP have anything in common with the Liberals.

There have only been three minority governments in B.C.’s political history, with the last in 1952.

NDP Leader John Horgan was scheduled to spend the last day of the campaign travelling around Metro Vancouver.

Green Leader Andrew Weaver was in Vancouver yesterday before campaigning in North Saanich on Vancouver Island.

BRIEFS

Mounties searching for Burnaby family BURNABY — Police are searching for a family of three from Burnaby, B.C., who have been missing since Sunday.

RCMP sid the parents and their four-year-old son did not return home as expected Sunday evening after having gone out around 3 p.m.

Missing is 38-year-old Ming Dong Xu and his wife, 36-year-old Yu Ling Zhang.

They were with their son Garrick Xu. Police said they were last seen in a silver 2006 Honda Accord.

Police probe blaze at Abbotsford church ABBOTSFORD — Police say the cause of an early morning blaze at an Abbotsford, B.C., church is suspicious.

Emergency crews were alerted to an alarm at Sevenoaks Alliance Church just before 4 a.m. yesterday.

Abbotsford Fire Rescue discovered the fire on the east side of the building that had moved up into the roof of the structure.

Police said fire crews were able to extinguish the blaze after “an extended period of time.” The fire was visible to traffic on the adjacent street and to residents in nearby high rises.

Pastor Jamie Fox posted on the church website that the community is “deeply saddened’’ by the fire, especially as construction of a new roof for the building was almost complete.

NDP bus spins wheels on election eve SURREY — With just one day left before the British Columbia election, the New Democrats’ campaign was left spinning its wheels — literally.

At an election stop yesterday in Surrey, the NDP bus was hung up on a bump, leaving some of its wheels briefly spinning in the air.

NDP Leader John Horgan tweeted that he was less worried about his bus and more concerned about British Columbians getting stuck with four more years of Liberal Leader Christy Clark.

A large tow truck got the bus back on the road.

The party made light of the incident, playing a song once everyone was back aboard about a stuck bus.

floods continue THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — More than 1,500 soldiers hit the ground Monday to help Quebecers deal with “historic’’ flooding that has caused widespread damage and evacuations and sparked a desperate search for a man and a toddler whose vehicle swerved off a waterlogged road into a surging river.

The heavy current pulled the car toward the Sainte-Anne River in eastern Quebec and its occupants fell into the water when the vehicle flipped, said provincial police Sgt. Claude Doiron.

A woman who was in the car was able to save herself.

“For now, there’s no evidence that has been found that can lead us to the discovery of these two people,’’ said Doiron.

He said the man was trying to help people who were trapped in the area.

A police helicopter and divers were to help in the search, which

continued as Quebec’s public security minister said water levels across the province were expected to peak between yesterday and Wednesday.

Authorities expect the water to start receding by mid-week, said Martin Coiteux.

“What’s encouraging is that the water levels will stop climbing,’’ Coiteux said during a news conference in Montreal.

“It’s very important to reiterate that. We are reaching maximum levels.

“The water levels in the flooded areas should start going down Wednesday.

“It may start earlier in certain sectors. But these levels are very high . . . so patience is required.

“But I know it’s hard.’’

Heavy rains and melting snowpack across Quebec have so far flooded 2,426 residences in the province, forcing the evacuation of 1,520 people in almost 150 municipalities.

Shop LOCAL Think LOCAL Watch Your Community Grow!

Your Best Insurance is a “Local” Insurance Broker Insurance has often been referred to as peace of mind — and it truly is because every smooth ride in life is bound to hit a bump now and then.

And, if you need insurance, as we all do, what better place to secure that peace of mind than at Kamloops’ only 100 per cent locally owned insurance agency?

Emsland Insurance opened in 2013 in the City View Shopping Centre in Aberdeen, but has a longer history as the firm was born following a three-year hiatus from operations of its predecessor, Simmons Black & Emsland Insurance.

Holly and Christopher Emsland, along with Christopher’s mom Theresa, opened the office four years ago and were joined

by Liana Jones a few months later.

Judy Perisa, Jennifer Leedham, Chelsey Wilch, Angela Mattson and Paul Ross have since joined the team.

Not only is Emsland deeply local, its staff

embraces the Shop Local philosophy by only patronizing local stores and connecting customers’ businesses to help keep the Shop Local link strong.

Emsland knows shopping local supports the local economy,

“What better place to secure that peace of mind than at Kamloops’ only 100 per cent locally owned insurance agency?“ with all the money staying in Kamloops and circulating back to residents and businesses.

Quality insurance policies are a must and the job of an insurance agency is to work on behalf of its customers to obtain the best insurance coverage at

the best possible price.

Customer service is key and Emsland prides itself on providing outstanding service.

If you call the office, you will be greeted with an honest-togoodness real voice, not that of a recording.

Your calls will be returned and your questions answered and explained, which is why Emsland rarely ever loses a customer.

From a few doors down, such as Anytime Fitness, to across Kamloops and elsewhere in B.C., Emsland continues to help a wide variety of clients. Successful customer relationships is the key fact the Emsland team has more than 125 years of combined service in the insurance field.

Regardless of what kind of insurance you need, you will find it at Emsland Insurance. This includes, homeowners, automobile, commercial, farm, travel and recreational(watercraft, atv’s, off road) Outside of the

office, the team at Emsland is intimately involved in the community. With producer Paul Ross serving as president of the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce,

Planet Fitness coming to mall

Business owner Vikram Singh says the former Esso gas station on Tranquille Road is rebranding as Canco in order to remain competitive.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

From Esso to Canco thanks to Costco “

JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

After looking at the books, Vikram Singh got a sample of how Costco has impacted his gas station. And it has led to rebranding.

“When Costco came in [selling gasoline], there was a price war,” he told KTW. “Esso couldn’t match it. That’s why we lost a lot of customers at that time.”

Costco changed the game when it began selling petrol in Kamloops in recent years, forcing local retailers to lower their prices in order to stay competitive.

Singh has co-owned the Esso at 228 Tranquille Rd. for almost a year and has business records

Esso couldn’t match it [Costco’s gas prices].That’s why we lost a lot of customers at that time.

”

— VIKRAM SINGH, Canco co-owner

dating back the last five. He said he noticed a steep decline in sales in the last three years and attributed that to a more expensive product.

“Robo Esso was always five cents higher than the town,” Singh said.

Those passing through the Tranquille Market will notice Singh’s former Esso station now boasts a Canco sign. The new brand — a B.C.-owned company with its head office in Kelowna — sells

cheaper gasoline, allowing Singh to pass on savings to the customer and be more competitive.

The online gasoline price tracking website Gas Buddy reveals that years after coming into the market, Costco is the cheapest place in town to fill up. When KTW checked the numbers yesterday, Costco was five cents cheaper than the next lowest stations. It was sitting at $1.07.9 per litre.

Singh’s price changes have already come into effect. It, along with the Super Save in Dallas, was the next lowest place to gas up, at $1.12.9.

Fifteen other stations were half a cent behind, at $1.13.4.

“That’s why we changed our brand,” Singh said. “People can save some money and we can get more business.”

It’s your money and our reputation.

We take both seriously.

Sahali Mall has announced another tenant will take over a large vacant space formerly filled by Target.

Planet Fitness, a chain fitness centre, is expected to move in this fall, sharing the space with Value Village, which is expected to move in at the end of August. Several people took to the mall’s Facebook page to comment on the news.

“That’s awesome.

Hopefully it does great things for the mall,” one person said.

Target left Sahali Mall in 2015 when the company pulled out of the Canadian market.

The closure left the mall on Columbia Street to fill more than 100,000 square feet of space.

The mall also recently lost a postal outlet and Ticketmaster closed its kiosk when it moved operations online.

The Planet Fitness announcement comes on the heels of news Value Village will take over two-thirds of the former Target Space.

It is expected to move from downtown on Aug. 29.

Sahali Mall building manager Tara Swain would not comment, but confirmed the two tenants are coming.

When asked about a recent media report claiming the mall would get a trampoline park, Swain could not confirm.

No changes to Central pub amidst new ownership

TUESDAY

Central Station Pub has new owners, but they won’t be making wholesale changes to the downtown establishment.

Rob and Andreena Wiggins are the new owners of the pub at Fourth Avenue and Lansdowne Street, taking over from the Hill family, who operated it for 27 years.

“We’re literally just stepping in,” Rob said Friday as the ink dried on the deal.

There are no major changes planned, but Wiggins said he wants to freshen the decor and eventually update the menu.

“You always want to put your own spin on things,” Rob said.

“It’s so iconic — we’re not going to come in and shake things up.”

RAIDERS THUMPED IN RUGBY FINAL MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

S

econds before kickoff, a dreary early afternoon in Abbotsford transformed into a glorious setting for championship Saturday, the rain clouds dissipating to make way for warmth and a piercing brightness.

But the rugby gods hadn’t sent the sun to shine down on the Kamloops Raiders, who were eclipsed 38-0 by Meraloma of Vancouver in the B.C. Rugby Union men’s Division 2 final, an abrupt ending to an otherwise successful campaign.

“This one’s going to hurt for a while,” said prop Greg Thomson, a longtime Raider. “It’s not every day you get to the provincial final.”

The first 15 minutes of the match were indicative of what was to come — sloppy play, indiscipline and a lack of finish from Kamloops leading to points the other way.

Thomson, Erik Rissanen, Max Heppner and Shayne Arthurs combined with neat passing and good support play to bring the Raiders into scoring position, but Kamloops was penalized near Meraloma’s goal line to end the threat.

At the other end, Kamloops botched a kick to restart play at its own 22-metre line. Later, a knock-on gave Meraloma the ball, which it used to score the match’s first try, with flanker Ciaran Acford touching down for five points.

The Raiders trampled downfield shortly after play resumed, but another promising passage of play was stymied by a penalty.

Kamloops continued to press, with its strong forward pack earning a penalty kick in Meraloma territory, but Thomson’s effort sailed wide of the uprights.

Meraloma winger Emile Wilson, lanky and lightning-quick, struck quickly at the other end, tallying his team’s second try.

“Meraloma have the ability to stretch out wide really quick and they’ll break tackles,” Raiders’ head coach Derek Pue said. “When you give them all that ball, the turnovers and knockons, it’s just going to lead to more

points on the board for them.”

Five minutes before halftime, Kamloops could not connect on a lineout at its own five-metre line, coughing up the ball to an opportunistic ‘Loma side that made no mistake.

Rob Fallon’s try and the conversion that followed from Scott Burrows made the score 19-0 after 40 minutes.

Kamloops, which had knocked off the regular-season champion Surrey Beavers (8-1) in semifinal play, was watching its title hopes slip away.

“We played with our hearts the whole time,” said Rissanen, whose Raiders posted a 4-3 record in regular-season action.

“They were very well-coached and well-drilled. They earned it.”

John Noonan, Thomas Viljoen and Billy Noonan added tries for Meraloma to put the game out of reach 20 minutes into the second half.

“It’s hard to keep your head up and keep going and pushing forward, but you’ve got to do it,” Rissanen said. “That’s what we do for our brothers.”

Kamloops spent the last 20 minutes playing for pride, pushing relentlessly for a consolation try that never came, with multiple goal-line assaults thwarted by stout Meraloma tackling.

“The Kamloops guys made us work,” Viljoen said. “They kept coming and coming. The fact we didn’t let them score a try was a real testament to the guys’ effort in defence.”

Pue told KTW last week it was championship or bust for his Raiders, but he was proud of the team after the final whistle on Saturday.

Jovial celebration of a silver-medal finish spilled over from the bus ride home into an awards banquet at the Kamloops Yacht Club, across from the Raiders’ home at Exhibition Park, where construction on a new clubhouse is moving along faster than expected.

“Things are looking up for the club.

We’ve got a young crew and I think we’ll be back here next year,” Pue said after a rousing speech to his charges. “We’re just going to stick together and keep going.”

Nash Kennedy bolted to the fridge and began scanning the magnetic Kamloops Blazers’ schedule.

It was January 2015 and the Edmonton Oilers had just sent top prospect Leon Draisaitl to the Kelowna Rockets, a gift that helped lift the Western Hockey League team to the Memorial Cup final.

Jayson Kennedy, Nash’s dad, circled Feb. 8 on the calendar and his eight-year-old son went to work, penning a letter to Blazers’ media man Tim O’Donovan.

Nash, a diehard Oilers’ fan, was determined to meet his hero.

No Vote, No Voice

“He watched them draft Leon and he just clicked with him and started to follow him,” Jayson said, recalling the origins of his son’s fascination with the German-born forward.

“He’s Googled everything you can possibly think of to do with the Oilers. He likes his stats and follows them way closer than I do.”

Nash was born in 2006, the year Edmonton was beaten by the Carolina Hurricanes in the Stanley Cup final. Until this season, he had known nothing but the disappointment of missing the playoffs.

But he stuck by them, even when most of his pals were supporting the Vancouver Canucks.

For the WolfPack, the championship will begin tomorrow, with a 1 p.m. game against the No. 2 Fraser Valley Cascades, the club that finished the season with a 10-5 record and beat Thompson Rivers in three of four games at Norbrock on the weekend.

The Pack will play No. 1 Prairie Baseball Academy Dawgs (21-3) on Thursday, No. 5 Vancouver Island Baseball Institute Mariners (7-14) on Friday and No. 3 Okanagan Coyotes (15-13) to close out the round-robin on Saturday.

The Thompson Rivers WolfPack aren’t exactly entering the Canadian College Baseball Conference (CCBC) championship with the hot hand.

Losers of three of four on the weekend and 10 of their last 12, the Wolves have been in free fall since April, at one point competing for the top spot in the conference and now entering the league championship as the No. 4 seed.

But the Pack say none of that matters now. The start of the national championship in Kelowna marks a new season of sorts.

Tiebreaker games at the tournament will go at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, with the first semifinal getting underway later that day, at 7:30 p.m.

The second semifinal will be played on Sunday morning, with the championship game starting immediately after.

Thompson Rivers hopes to be playing in the title game, its second-half collapse in the regular season notwithstanding.

“We had a guy on our team that used to say, ‘You need to get hot at the right time,’” Halland said.

“We’ll see how our team does.

If we can get hot right now, the rest of the season didn’t really matter at all.”

Celtics home for Game 5 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Kelly Olynyk of Kamloops and his Boston Celtics can take one more step toward the NBA Eastern Conference final with a victory over the Washington Wizards tomorrow.

to hold and grab and do all those things,’’ Thomas said.

“It’s got to be called differently. . . . I can’t be allowed to be held and grabbed every pin-down, every screen and I don’t even shoot one free throw. I play the same way each and every night. That has to change.’’

Thomas acknowledged

that the Wizards’ 26-0 thirdquarter run was the reason for the result, not the officiating.

But with the series returning to Boston, he began to lobby for more calls after not going to the free throw line once.

The 5-foot-9 all-star guard had 53 points in the Celtics’ Game 2 overtime victory and was bottled up with 13 and

“I always think they’re going to win the Cup this year,” Nash said, sporting a T-shirt with Draisaitl’s name on the back.

“Because I was a fan, I didn’t give up on the Oilers.

“I think they can win the Cup this year or at least make the conference final. But I think they’re going to win the Cup.” Nash’s spirits must have been crushed when Anaheim erased a 3-0 deficit late in the third period to score a stunning 4-3 overtime victory in Game 5 of the Western Conference semifinal series on Friday in Anaheim.

Ryan Kesler should have been called for goaltender interference on the gametying goal, Nash must have been thinking.

The Grade 5 student at Summit ele-

mentary would have been bouncing off the walls on Sunday night when Draisaitl — who he likes even more than Connor McDavid (and he loves McDavid) — registered three goals and two assists in a 7-1 drubbing of the Ducks in Game 6.

O’Donovan was able to arrange the meeting with Draisaitl, a brief conversation that left Nash in awe after the Rockets bested the Blazers 5-2 on Feb. 8, 2015, at Interior Savings Centre.

“He got down on his knee to have eyeto-eye contact and Nash had a whole list of questions for him,” Jayson said. “He was very personable and signed a bunch of things.”

Nash, who went to watch the Oilers play in Edmonton earlier this season, never jumped ship to the Canucks and is reaping the rewards today, while his

Kelly Olynyk of the Boston Celtics was booed every time he touched the ball on Sunday in Washington, where the Wizards rode a 26-0 run in the third quarter to a 121-102 victory in Game 4 of the NBA Eastern Conference semifinal.

The Kamloops product’s illegal screen preceded Kelly Oubre Jr.’s charge and shove in Game 3, actions that landed the Wizard a one-game suspension.

Fans chanted “Kelly Oubre!’’ on a few occasions as Olynyk, a Kamloops product, finished 5-of-9 for 14 points.

Game 5 will be played tomorrow in Boston, with tipoff slated for 5 p.m. and the series tied at 2-2.

Olynyk will be treated much differently at the TD Garden — and the Celtics’ best player is hoping the same can be said of him.

Isaiah Thomas feels as though he was shut down by the Wizards and the referees in Game 4.

Thomas said officiating needs to change as the second-round series continues after the Wizards played him hard in holding him to two points after the first 15 minutes.

“They were very physical.

The refs were allowing them

19 in Washington. He started Game 4 shooting 5-for-5 from three-point territory with 17 points and was held to two more on 1-of-7 shooting the rest of the way.

“They obviously were locked into him the whole game, but obviously more so after the barrage of 3s,’’ Celtics coach Brad Stevens said, crediting the Wizards for switching and sticking on Thomas off pick-and-rolls. “They were really up into him.’’

Being physical was the plan with Thomas, Wizards guard Bradley Beal said. Coach Scott Brooks complimented his big men for keeping their hands up to avoid fouling Thomas, but Beal was more than willing to make contact when necessary.

“Our goal is just take him out of the game and just continue to be physical with him,’’ Beal said. “He runs around the floor all day, I’ve been chasing him all first half.

I just wanted to come in and just be physical with him.’’

Make mom feel special on May 14 ith mom’s special day just around the corner, dads and partners can use these simple tips to prepare for a day she won’t soon forget: 1. Create a homemade gift.

Moms love receiving a gift with a personal touch from the kids, so spend an afternoon making something she’ll love.

Thoughtful ideas include a card with the kids’ handprints, a vase the family decorated together or family picture mounted on a hand-painted frame.

2. Bake while she sleeps.

Think moms dream of breakfast in bed?

Most moms really just want time to sleep in, roll out of bed and take a luxurious hot shower or bath.

Instead of waking her up with breakfast, let her do her thing by staying out of the way. That could mean keeping the kids entertained by cooking with them in the kitchen.

Bake a delicious treat she can enjoy for brunch whenever she’s ready. Think sweet treats, soft breads or salty favourites.

3. Remember — it’s all about her.

Just because it’s Mother’s Day doesn’t mean she wants or needs to spend all day with the kids.

Make a reservation at a nice restaurant for dinner and let her decide what she wants to do the rest of the time.

Whether that’s spending the day in bed with a book and wine, seeing a movie with friends or going to the spa, let her know you’ll hold down the fort while she’s doing whatever she pleases.

Bonus points if the laundry gets done.

Accept that sometimes things will not go your way, Aries. However, you can learn to adapt and find balance in any situation you find yourself in.

Discovering all of the answers need not be your goal all the time, Taurus. Keep in mind that the journey can sometimes be more rewarding than the destination.

Libra, don’t let any opportunity pass you by this week — even those that may seem like they won’t yield much reward. Everything is a learning opportunity.

Obsessive thoughts will not make the solution to a problem come any easier. It’s better if you clear your head and then maybe the ideas will arrive when you least expect.

Gemini, don’t hesitate to let others know how much they mean to you. Such simple gestures will be appreciated and help you maintain strong relationships with those you love most.

Cancer, when in doubt, speak with someone who has more experience than you. It’s a big person who can accept help when it’s needed, and others will be willing to help.

Think of something you can do that will be a big risk and out of character, Sagittarius. It may give you a rush of adrenaline this week and pave the way for new interests.

You are about to go upstairs. The stairs have six steps plus the top, so you will have to climb seven steps. How many ways can you make these seven steps if you can take one or two steps at a time?

Capricorn, look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself that you can handle whatever comes your way.You are the only one who can derail your plans.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

Next week may be a better time to make a big decision, Leo. Coast along for a little bit longer and get a feel for the lay of the land before making your decision.

Pisces, instead of focusing on all of the little details, look at the bigger picture. This will prove to be the inspiration you need to stay motivated.

It is a text amendment to Zoning Bylaw No. 1400 proposing to limit tourist accommodation use (nightly/ short-term rental) in the RS-1A zone to either a principal dwelling unit or secondary suite. If adopted, a home in the RS-1A zone containing a secondary suite could not rent both the suite and main floor dwelling unit on a short-term/nightly basis. The bylaw also includes a site specific amendment that enables rental of both the principal dwelling and secondary suite on 29 existing RS-1A zoned properties.

One property is being rezoned as part of this zoning amendment bylaw.

Annie Hajmerle

May 26, 1938 – May 1, 2017

With tears in our eyes we announce the peaceful passing of our Mother and Oma Annie Hajmerle on Wednesday, April 26, 2017 at 89 years.

She will be missed by the light of her life her son Harold (Hammer), his wife Marla, granddaughter Tori (Andrew Rattray), great-grandchildren Kiana, Sophie and Jade, as well as relatives in Europe.

In 1967, when Harold was three, Annie and her husband John immigrated to Canada from Austria, settling in Calgary. While vacationing in the Okanagan, they fell in love with the area and in 1977 moved to Westbank, where they lived until 2007, when they moved to Kamloops to be closer to Harold and his family. She loved to garden and it was evident in all of her yards, her flower gardens were the envy of the neighborhood.

Annie was predeceased by her husband John in 2007 and her four legged friends Cocoa and Snoopy.

A Private Graveside Service will be held later in the spring.

Harold and family would like to thank the caregivers at The Hamlets in Westsyde and the staff at Royal Inland Unit 3W for their loving care and support of Annie

Dr. Haakon Oliver Leonard Murray February 20, 1923 San Fernando, Trinidad May 2, 2017 Kamloops, BC

Haakon passed away peacefully surrounded by his family. He will be reunited with his wife Ruth, youngest son Tim and brother Teddy, who predeceased him.

Leonard Stanley Ford October 11, 1920 - May 5, 2017

With his great sense of humour still intact, we are very saddened to announce the peaceful passing of Len on May 5, 2017 at the age of 96.

Len is survived by his son Jim (Melanie), grandsons Lucas and Stuart (Kelsey) and many nieces, nephews and friends.

Survived by his children Anne, Ted (Debbie), Peter (Ray), John (Brenda), sister Gerda Todd, grandchildren Kate (Scott), Tava (Regan), Jordan (Victoria), Danika, Talisa, Jeremy, Maja, Jennifer, step-grandchildren Christine, Ashley, four greatgrandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.

Len, a veteran, was a proud member of the Royal Canadian Engineers. He served for five years during World War II, or as he always said “I was working for George.” For his service, in 2016, Len was awarded the rank of Knight of the French National Order of The Legion of Honour by the President of the Republic of France. He was very pleased, yet humbled, upon receiving this medal.

Haakon was born in the Caribbean, schooled in England, attended McGill University in Montreal and graduated as a medical doctor specializing in general surgery. It was in Montreal that Haakon met and married Ruth Jordan.

After returning home to Kamloops, Len worked as a mechanic for many years at Fisher Brothers, where the only time he would ever go for first aid was if he was bleeding so he didn’t mess up the new cars.

Haakon practiced briefly in Montreal, Africa, Sarnia, Kitimat and finally settling in Kamloops in 1960 where he joined the Irving Clinic and practiced until his retirement.

Mom and Dad spent many happy years in their log home overlooking the South Thompson River near Chase, farming, gardening and enjoying family.

Dad was very involved in the church in Kamloops and Chase where he served as a lay reader.

A Service for Haakon will be held at St. Paul’s Cathedral on Saturday, May 13, 2017 at 1:00 pm.

Reception to follow.

Len finished his working years at J Walsh & Sons. Len was an accomplished mechanic, carpenter and ‘Mr Fix-it’ for anyone who needed him (Warren, Jim and Fisher boys). Some of his proudest moments were watching his grandsons succeed in their careers and sports. Len is predeceased by his wife Ida (July 2010) and son Warren (May 2012).

Special thanks to Len’s doctors over the years, the truly wonderful and caring staff at Kamloops Chartwell North Shore and Ridgeview Lodge (Baltic). Also to Dallas, who he called his foot and finger lady.

We will miss you and love you forever dad/grandpa.

A Service of Remembrance and Celebration will be held in the Schoening Funeral Chapel on Wednesday, May 10, 2017 at 1:00 pm with Pastor Don Maione officiating.

Obituaries & In Memoriam George “Buster” Campbell It is with great sadness we announce the passing of George “Buster” Campbell on May 4, 2017.

George was born in Kamloops, BC on January 25, 1932.

He is survived by his loving wife (Irene) of a 58 year marriage, sons David (Shelley) and Howard (DeAnne), grandchildren Brett, Courtenay and Taryn (Jean-Marc).

He is also survived by three sisters-in-law Margaret, Midge Marie (Ed) and Winnie (Jerry) and one brother-inlaw Don, as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Predeceased by his father George and mother Georgina (Crocker).

George was raised in the Kamloops area until he enlisted in the Military and was posted at the Namao Air Force base. It was there that he met Irene (who was from his hometown) and married her on May 9, 1958. After their Military term, they decided to raise their family. George began his career with Canada Post in Kamloops. They then moved to Prince George where he continued his Canada Post career until he retired in 1987.

After their retirement, they decided to move back to Kamloops where George enjoyed providing the family taxi services and being the spectator at his grandchildren’s many sporting activities.

Many thanks from the family to all the Health Care professionals at RIH, Ponderosa and Overlander for the exceptional care.

George will be cremated and Schoening Funeral Home will be in charge.

A Service will be held at Schoening’s on Saturday, May 13, 2017 at 2:00 pm officiated by Dan Sargent.

Reasons Kamloops

Loves Canada!

A Vanished Friend

by Anders Lim

Around the corner I have a friend In this great city that has no end; Yet days go by, and weeks rush on, And before I know it a year has gone, And I never see my old friend’s face, For life is a swift and terrible race.

He knows I like him just as well As in the days when I rang his bell, And he rang mine. We were younger then, And now we are busy, tired men, Tired of playing a foolish game, Tired with trying to make a name.

“Tomorrow, I will call on Jim, Just to show that I am thinking of him.”

But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And the distance between us grows and grows, Around the corner, yet miles away “Here’s a telegram, sir,” “Jim died today!”

And that’s what we get, and deserve in the end, Around the corner a vanished friend!

Tell us what you love about being Canadian, and be entered to win
