The president of the Kamloops-Thompson Teachers’ Association said School District 73 brass didn’t give teachers a chance to agree to a compromise that could have preserved a two-week spring break in 2018.

David Komljenovic said the KTTA met only twice with district officials for half-day bargaining sessions and was not given a chance to discuss the possibility of merging spring break with the Easter long weekend before SD73 called the negotiations to a halt and announced a one-week break for the next school year.

Superintendent Alison Sidow told KTW in an earlier interview that merging Easter and the break was one of the options on which staff and teachers could not agree.

The school district also suggested teachers move some professional development days outside of the regular school calendar to make up for the five days of instructional time that would be lost to the break.

But Komljenovic said teachers were inter-

ested in discussing the Easter proposal.

“We came yesterday and suggested that was something we were willing to entertain, but they concluded negotiations,” he said.

“If you only have two half-days to bargain, they’re not really working towards a solution.”

The KTTA also felt the district’s previous strategy of making up lost educational time by extending the school day was working well, despite concerns from the district that the extra minutes were not adequately replacing lost instructional days.

Komljenovic said the school district told the KTTA it had a narrow mandate to negotiate and only pursued one solution — moving professional development days outside of the school year.

“We were interested in negotiating and looking at options, but they were basically stuck to that one proposal, which was to add days to the work year for teachers without any extra pay,” Komljenovic said. “That wasn’t an option that was acceptable to our members.”

He said it’s not clear why the district is so concerned about lost instructional days dur-

ing spring break when its Sun Peaks schools, which operate on a four-day calendar, are permitted to miss upward of 40 instructional days per year.

“We asked why the discrepancy and they said it’s because parents at Sun Peaks wanted that calendar,” he said. “Well, parents in this district have stated in the majority they would like to continue on with the two-week spring break.”

Komljenovic said he hopes teachers and staff can make another attempt to negotiate in the future.

Trustees first chose to go back to a oneweek break at the beginning of the year, with some trustees citing concerns the extra week out of school could be a financial hardship for some families.

After an outcry from some parents and teachers, the board took another vote on the issue in March, opting to stick with the oneweek break unless it reach an agreement with the KTTA. The contract between the district and the teachers’ union expires in 2019.

THE CLOCK IS TICKING AND TIME IS RUNNING OUT! Do you have a legal claim against another person, a business, or the government?

Even if your claim is valid, you may be prevented from suing the other party if the limitation period has expired.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

A limitation period is a period of time in which a claim may be brought to the courts. If the claim is brought after the time is up, the court will usually not hear it.

Katherine McParland has lived on the streets. Now, as youth homelessness manager with Interior Community Services and the creator of A Way Home, she is working to make sure no one else has to do the same.

‘Hidden homeless’ among those in city youth homeless count ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

At least 19 young people were sleeping on the streets of Kamloops last fall, when the city’s first count of homeless youth began.

The count, conducted from Oct. 13 to Oct. 21, found 129 Kamloopsians between the ages of 13 and 24 who had experienced homelessness, 56 of whom were homeless at that time.

Of those homeless 56, half were what report writers Katherine McParland and JohnPaul Baker call “hidden homeless” — young people who might be crashing on friends’ couches or in hospital or treatment facilities with nowhere to go once they leave those institutions.

“These are the kids that have long been ignored in our community,” McParland said.

While there is an annual homeless count in the city that aims to count people of all ages, it focuses on people living on the

street. Members of Kamloops’ A Way Home committee, which conducted the youth homeless count as part of its focus on youth homelessness, said that doesn’t reflect the experience of many young people struggling to find housing.

More than half of the youth who were homeless — 59 per cent, or 33 people — were aboriginal. Three reported they were lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender.

Boys outnumbered girls, with 31 males to 21 females (several respondents didn’t answer the question).

Of those counted, 40 were between the ages of 19 and 24 and 15 were ages 13 to 18.

Slightly less than half the youth over the age of 19 reported they had aged out of the foster-care system.

Foster care was common across currently and previously homeless youth, with more than half of respondents in both categories reporting time spent in care or a group home.

McParland — herself a former youth in care who experienced homelessness after leaving the system — said the findings illustrate the need for better supports for youth who age out of care, but also show the kind of disruptions beyond their control that young people often experience on their way to homelessness.

Reasons youth gave for losing housing included abuse (21 per cent), family conflict (41 per cent) and addictions and substance use (43 per cent) — which the A Way Home committee noted could either refer to the youths themselves or another resident in the home.

McParland said members of the committee will study the data further, with an eye to making recommendations and improving the survey for 2017.

One suggestion likely to come from the survey is for no-barrier housing for the city’s most challenged youth, which would offer support services, but place no conditions on staying in the residence.

Woman killed in motorcycle crash A 60-year-old woman died in a single motorcycle crash on Hillside Drive on Wednesday night, at the entrance to Home Depot.

Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Michel Grondin said the crash occurred at about 8:30 p.m., when the woman hit a curb

as she attempted to make a left turn into Home Depot while driving north on Hillside Drive in the Southgate area.

Grondin said it appears the driver lost control of her motorcycle and, when it collided with a curb, she was thrown from the bike.

Emergency services attempted to revive her, but she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Kamloops RCMP and B.C. Coroner Services continue to investigate the accident.

The identity of the deceased woman is being withheld, pend-

ing the notification of next of kin.

The legislation that governs limitation periods in B.C. is called the Limitation Act. In addition, there are a number of other statutes that determine limitation periods for different types of claims. It can therefore be difficult to figure out how long the limitation period is for your claim, and when that time period is up.

SUPREME COURT TO DECIDE BECKETT’S FATE CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A B.C. Supreme Court justice is scheduled to decide later this month whether delays in proceedings for a man charged with seconddegree murder in connection to the drowning death of his wife should result in his charge being thrown out of court.

Peter Beckett remains in custody.

His wife, Laura Letts, drowned in Upper Arrow Lake, near Revelstoke, on Aug. 18, 2010. Beckett stood trial in front of a B.C. Supreme Court jury in Kamloops last year.

Jurors could not reach a unanimous decision and a mistrial was declared.

Beckett was charged on Aug. 8, 2011.

His defence lawyers are arguing it took too long to bring Beckett to trial last year.

Under a framework from the Supreme

Court of Canada, unreasonable delay is anything more than 30 months from the time a charge is laid until completion of trial at the superior court level.

Beckett has been in custody for almost six years and his second trial is not expected to begin until August in Kelowna.

The decision is set for June 29. If the case is not thrown out of court, the trial is set for Aug. 21.

CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops Mounties arrested one man and are seeking another after stumbling upon a suspected credit card fraud ring that involved suspects breaking into cars to get credit cards and ID — but leaving everything seemingly untouched while they utilized the stolen numbers.

Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said the arrest came after a waitress at a city restaurant called police Tuesday night.

Two customers entered the restaurant, but one could not produce ID for alcohol service, so they left. They left behind a notebook full of ID and credit card information.

After flipping through the book to determine who left it behind, the server noticed the entries and called police. One of the pair was later arrested on an outstanding warrant.

Shelkie said the 40-year-old man is facing charges of obstruction of a police officer after giving a false name, as well as

possession of narcotics after a search by police.

The Crown is also expected to file a fraud-related charge based on what police found in the notebook.

While some victims of vehicle breakins had their credit cards stolen, others didn’t find out until they received their statements full of transactions they did not make themselves.

“It appears they went in, wrote down information and left ID behind,” Shelkie said, calling it unusual.

The dollar value of a theft at a downtown retailer tipped the scales for an offender who struggles with mental-health and substance-abuse issues.

Kamloops provincial court judge Chris Cleaveley sentenced James Anderson to 75 days of new jail time Thursday for committing thefts at London Drugs downtown and a Brocklehurst liquor store.

Anderson, who has a long criminal record for thefts and breaches of court orders, must also serve one year of probation.

Anderson pleaded guilty to stealing a bottle of vodka in December 2016 from a Brocklehurst liquor store, as seen on video surveillance by a clerk. In April of this year, he walked into London Drugs and stole video games and a foot massager valued at $750.

Defence lawyer Ken Walker

said Anderson, 33, has been diagnosed with borderline schizophrenia and lives on disability, though he has worked and gone to college in the past.

Walker asked Cleaveley to sentence Anderson to time already served since being arrested, along with a period of probation Anderson would serve at a Lower Mainland treatment centre.

Cleaveley said Anderson’s mental-health issues and drug

addiction “is the compassion side . . .

“On the other side, I have to pay attention to Mr. Anderson’s record.”

Cleaveley said the size of the theft from London Drugs meant he had to opt for the longer jail sentence, along with a year of probation.

“Mr. Anderson needs time away from the community and the community needs to be safe from Mr. Anderson’s stealing,” Cleaveley said.

THE HOT AND NOT OF THE WEEK Kamloops This Week looks at the stories of the week — the good, the bad and all in-between:

HOT: The beginning of the path to a resolution in Victoria.

This week, we finally learned when the legislature will be recalled.

On June 22, the B.C. Liberals will present their throne speech, which will then be voted on by the 87 MLAs. The Liberals have 43 seats and the NDP/Green pact has 44 seats.

If, as expected, the NDP/Green partnership votes against the speech, the Liberal government will fall and the lieutenant-governor will decide whether to give the NDP/Greens a chance to govern or call a new election. Bet on the former, but prepare for the fragile majority to collapse any time, based on the fact minority governments in Canada live, on average, for about 18 months.

OUR

VIEW

HOT: The swearing-in ceremonies this week that officially installed into office the 87 MLAs. Such a ceremony is old hat to KamloopsSouth Thompson MLA Todd Stone, but Peter Milobar, the neophyte MLA for Kamloops-North Thompson, had to be mesmerized by the event when he was sworn in on Thursday morning in Victoria.

NOT: The decision by a man in Brocklehurst to allegedly walk around the neighbourhood, and reportedly into a seniors’ home, while carrying a BB handgun that looked like the real thing.

Kamloops Mounties had to respond quickly and in large numbers and soon had a suspect — and the BB handgun — in custody.

Beyond tying up police resources, there are too many incidents across North America in which police officers, faced with making split-second life or death decisions, have had to shoot people carrying replica weapons.

Enjoying the school concert with a cold pint

I

’m not sure whether to give a couple I know an ingenuity award or call child services.

They are a nice couple, a professional duo with a taste for fine wine and good food. They are excellent conversationalists and do many activities with their kids.

But they recently pulled off what some seasoned parents might consider a coup of epic proportions — yet something neophyte moms and dads might find incomprehensible.

It was a spring concert at their youngest child’s school, the latest in a long series of such concerts stretching back many grades, multiple performances per year multiplied by multiple kids.

It was unseasonably hot, muggy even, which was unusual for Kamloops. The concert would be held in the school’s small gymnasium, with too many adult bodies crammed into a space designed for fewer bodies onethird the size. It would be hot and cramped and the concert would be long.

So, the couple delivered their child to the school well before curtain call, made sure the young thespian was in good hands backstage, offered good luck and said they would be out there watching.

They then walked toward the gym, out of sight of their little performer, and found the nearest exit door that would take them to their vehicle, which would take them to a nearby pub.

And there they sat, in airconditioned splendour, enjoying

MUSINGS a cold beer and a light dinner as they kept an eye on the clock to ensure they were back at the school and in the gym for the final few minutes of the big show.

When they told me this diabolical, yet delightful, tale, I was speechless. I was at once ready to admonish, yet overcome with a sense of admiration.

I asked the obvious question: Did they not feel guilty?

Not at all, they replied. They had paid their dues with dozens of concerts in sweltering gyms and frigid classrooms. They made sure to catch the final few minutes so they could honestly praise their kid for the fine performance.

Besides, they were quite certain they weren’t the only parents of concertgoers in that cool, relaxing pub.

In fact, they may have got the idea from friends of theirs, who once enjoyed some damn fine sushi while their cherished child was a few kilometres away, singing Christmas songs on a school stage.

I was taken aback because I

had rarely missed anything my kids were doing.

School concerts day or night, four-hour-long dance recitals, slightly shorter music recitals, soccer, hockey and baseball games, field trips that needed chaperones, bottle drives to fund those trips — I was there for virtually all of them.

Of course, I have missed the occasional kids’ event. To this day, I am beside myself for missing the only hockey game in which my son scored two goals.

It was on Nov. 27, 2011 at Valleyview Arena. I know the date because I begged off attending as my beloved B.C. Lions were playing Winnipeg in the Grey Cup that day. As I was celebrating the Lions’ win, my boy came home with a tale of being Wayne Gretzky for a day — and I missed it.

It continues to create a pang in my stomach when I think about it.

Hell, I still feel guilty for deking out of an Elvis Presley tribute show early at Sagebrush Theatre, simply because my mom loved The King. I swear I could hear her yelling at me from the great beyond.

My kids are now teens, well past the school concert phase, but my special lady friend with whom I share a home has a wonderful six-year-old daughter.

I am looking forward to attending the many school concerts to come. Who knows, I might enjoy a performance or two with a cold one and a dozen hot wings. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

TNRD —NOT CITY — HAS POWER OVER AJAX Editor: In March 2016, I presented Kamloops council with a documented report that showed we would lose more than $6 billion if the proposed Ajax mine is approved.

In contrast to that loss, we would only gain $2 billion in jobs and benefits, which is a losing proposition by anyone’s measure.

This week, Deputy Mayor Arjun Singh revealed council is still thinking about supporting the idea.

That’s interesting from two perspectives.

On the one hand, it indicates an absence of common sense. The facts are plain — the mine will

be dangerous to the lives of people, especially the young and the elderly, and it comes at too high a price.

The city’ medical professionals are almost unanimous in declaring the proposed mine a medical disaster in the offing.

The second issue is that it does not matter what council believes or supports as its position is irrelevant. What counts is the provincial and federal decisions.

This prompts me to wonder why the heck council spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on getting an evaluation on mine proponent KGHM’s application from consul-

tants. Perhaps we should ask council to reimburse the citizens for this foolish undertaking and great waste of our taxes.

There will be no real benefit from anything council does in reference to the mine, good or bad.

Now, if the directors of the Thompson-Nicola Regional District had spent the money in its deliberations, that would have been a positive move.

The TNRD can stop Ajax by not giving approval for the processing operation in the region.

If the regional district was to withhold approval, KGHM would have to haul the ore to the

members of council to vote on the proposed mine or other issues that could impact the future of our community.

It seems to me those running for council in the September byelection and/or October 2018 general election should declare where they stand on the proposed mine and other issues that could impact Kamloops, thereby giving voters the opportunity to support those with whom they agree.

Further, it is elected members of council who will have to live with the consequences of council’s decision.

Gordon Lloyd Kamloops

Highland Valley Copper mine near Logan Lake for processing. That would be a small improvement, even though the net benefits would be much less and not really of much help to Kamloops.

We would still have the dust and poisonous air pollution.

Editor: Why the rush for outgoing members of council to vote on whether to support the proposed Ajax mine?

I cannot understand the need for outgoing

GREENS LOST VOICE VOTE FOR PLAYGROUND UPGRADES Editor: As any proud Canadian knows, one of the best freedoms we enjoy is that of democracy and the right to vote to elect we see as best fit.

For many, it’s the platform the party represents.

Each MLA is to represent his or her riding’s constituents. I applaud MLAs’ work, dedication and courage to cross party lines if and when need be.

Are they not paid to be present and actively participate in the legislature for votes on bills?

But I don’t understand how and why the Greens lost their voice. They had such an opportunity to sway opinion from both sides.

Colin Willis, Kamloops

Editor: If anyone has been listening or reading about the BCAA Play Here contest, they should know a Kamloops school is among those hoping to win a $100,000 playground makeover.

Marion Schilling elementary in Valleyview is in need of an updated playground and, with your help, it can be done.

Everyone will be able to enjoy the playground, so it is a benefit to all.

The school’s parent advisory council has been working very hard to get the word out, but it needs help.

Anybody can vote up to four times a day by going online to bcaaplayhere.com.

There are 10 schools in the contest, with the three schools garnering the

most votes each getting the $100,000 playground makeover.

The top two vote-getting schools right now are in small communities, so why can’t a city the size of Kamloops do better?

We have only until June 18, so come on, Kamloops, get behind the kids and vote.

THE MANCHESTER SPIRIT WILL LIVE ON AFTER THE ATTACK

Robert Wisla is studying journalism at TRU and spent the past semester in classes in Manchester, England. Here, he writes about the aftermath of the May 22 terrorist attack in the city.

W

hen the first leaf fell on the Thompson Rivers University campus last fall, I was deciding on where to go for a semester abroad.

There were many options, but I had narrowed it down to either Australia or England, Sydney or Manchester.

At the last minute, I chose Manchester and it has been a life-changing decision like no other.

When I told people I was going to live in Manchester, I was peppered with questions.

“Manchester? Why on earth would you go to Manchester?” or as one of my Southern English friends who lives in Canada put it, “Manchester? That place is right shite.”

As you can imagine, this clouded my decision to move there, but the forms were signed and flights were booked, so there was no turning back.

Manchester, I think, is unique among cities on earth.

For one, it has not just one, but two of the greatest football (soccer) teams on earth.

For another, the city was the first on earth to industrialize.

The heritage of Manchester is seen everywhere, from the old ship canal where my university is docked to the

hundreds of old cotton mills that dot the city in a red-bricked mosaic.

The rare days the sun does shine, it offers breathtaking views. But it is in the people that this city shows it true colours — and not just red and blue (United vs. City).

Studying journalism at the University of Salford while surrounded by the BBC, ITV and Coronation Street filming has been an amazing experience.

On May 22, just two weeks from the date of my return flight to Canada, a suicide bomber killed 23 people and injured more than 120 at an Ariana Grande concert.

At first I didn’t believe it. I learned about the attack from social media, as many did, reading about an explosion in central Manchester.

The attack in Manchester Arena occurred 600 yards up the road from my local church and less than a 10-minute bike ride from my dorm.

The arena is on a route I commonly took for my evening walk. That evening was a bit chilly, so I decided against going out.

When I first heard about the attack, I thought it was an accident. I assumed it was the result of a gas leak or something else — anything else — but as more information slowly came in and the sirens became constant, it became evident the United Kingdom had suffered its second terrorist attack during my six-month study abroad.

It is hard to explain how one feels when your city is attacked.

On numerous occasions I had been to the Victoria train station, which was hit as a result

of the attack on the arena.

my hand and the music blaring.

As a matter of a fact, the first major concert I ever attended was in Manchester. It is a scary thought that had it been a different day, had the terrorist decided to target a different concert in this city, I might not be here right now.

Before the London and Manchester attacks happened, I felt such carnage in the world was far away, never to affect me.

I was six when the twin towers fell on Sept.

11, 2001. I was 10 when the London Tube attack occurred in 2005.

I had been too young to fully comprehend terrorism.

As I grew up, it always felt like the major terrorist attacks occurred in distant countries like Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Egypt.

That feeling of distance shrunk after the March attack on Westminster in London in March. I had been to London a couple of weeks before and was on that very same bridge taking the very same pictures as other tourists who were struck and killed.

The distance has truly shrunk. It can happen anywhere, at any time.

The university I attended in Manchester was evacuated the day after the arena bombing due to that very threat. Luckily, it was a false alarm and the suspicious package was done away with.

The day after the attack, I was off by train to see Russell Brand perform in the small seaside town of Southport, which is about an hour from Manchester.

I thought the performance would be cancelled since it was a

large gathering of people and could quite easily be another soft target. The trains were no longer running on the usual schedule and many had been cancelled. But the concert was still on.

You could tell something had changed.

People were quieter.

For a rare sunny day in Manchester, there was sombre feeling in the air. The train station was hushed. Police were spread out everywhere.

The city was on guard and you could tell.

When the Brand show began in Southport, I started to see the strength of the people of Northern England.

Brand took the stage and the laughs he elicited helped people numb the pain. He had the crowd roaring with pride when he announced all proceeds from the show would go to victims of the attack.

The days following the murders saw an outpouring of support for victims and their families.

Saint Ann’s Square, a large pedestrian area, was filled with an unbelievable amount of flowers and condolences.

People across the city got bee tattoos, representative of the worker spirit and a symbol of Manchester, with all proceeds going to victims.

Grande and many other artists came together for the One Love Manchester concert, raising CDN $23 million.

But I don’t believe Manchester will ever be the same.

The rubble will be cleaned up and those who helped plan the attack arrested, but the memory of all those who fell victim to such a heinous crime will never be forgotten.

Yet the spirit of Manchester will live on.

I chose Manchester and know that because of the experiences I have had in the unique city, my life will never be the same.

Stone, Milobar sworn into legislature CAM FORTEMS

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

While the political backdrop remains one of political scheming and strategy, the city’s two MLAs were sworn in Thursday during a ceremony in Victoria that dates back more than a century.

Todd Stone was sworn in as MLA for Kamloops-South Thompson for the second time, while Peter Milobar experienced the pomp and circumstance at the legislature for the first time.

“You hear from other members who’ve been here before how it will strike you when you’re there,” said Milobar, who is on leave from city council and will resign as mayor of Kamloops at the end of the month.

“It really does, with the history and what’s gone on in these chambers and the magnitude of the job you’ve taken on.”

Stone said the swearing-in remains an exciting time, even

On May 9, Peter Milobar (left) and Todd Stone celebrated their Liberal wins in the Kamloops-North and Kamloops-South Thompson ridings. On Thursday, they were sworn into the B.C. legislature in Victoria. It was the second time Stone has been sworn in and the first for Milobar.

amid the backdrop of a minority government.

“The clerk opened up the swearing-in ceremony by quoting the clerk who opened the 1952 session,” Stone said.

In 1952, B.C. also faced the prospect of a minority government, led by W.A.C. Bennett and the newly popular Social Credit Party.

That clerk 65 years ago mentioned an “aura of mystery” about the future.

In that early legislature, Bennett would go on to lead a minority government, but engineer its defeat in the legislature and subsequently be re-elected with a majority and rule for two decades.

This time, the B.C.

Liberal government intends to bring in a throne speech and budget on June 22 and expects it to be defeated.

That will likely lead to a NDP-Green pact on financial matters and a feasible minority government, with the NDP/Greens having 44 seats and the Liberals with 43 seats.

“Everyone is waiting with bated breath to see how things unfold,” Stone said.

“It’s an intense and exciting time in B.C. history.”

While the absentee ballots and recount took some time, Milobar said there is little delay in the business of the legislature, one he is keen to learn.

Those counts will be timed, with an aim to make them repeatable in future years. Data will be analyzed by a student at TRU. “We’re only going to look at pollinators that are on the flowers,” Sedgman said. “They might be resting on grass or elsewhere, but we’re just going to collect data on bees that are actually on flowers.”

While this year’s data will

mainly act as a baseline for future counts, Sedgman said as more information is collected, it could help guide future planting decisions.

“If we wanted to enhance an area and there’s not the bees we think should be there, maybe we can do some enhancement with native flowers,” she said.

Kids will also get a chance to try their hand at bee counting.

Sedgman said the master gardeners are planning pollinator counts on McArthur Island in co-ordination with the Big Little Science Centre’s July Eco-Camp.

STORE HOURS:

They may be hairy-bellied or wear pollen as pants — either way, Kamloops’ master gardeners want to count them.

The city’s first inventory of bees and pollinators will get underway later this summer, providing a first look at what’s buzzing in Kamloops’ parks and natural areas.

Thompson Shuswap Master Gardeners Association member Elaine Sedgman said similar counts have been taking place in the Lower Mainland for the past four years. Organizer Erin Udal has agreed to share her expertise in Kamloops. More than 20 volunteers signed up for a recent weekend of training in bee identification and counting.

While there are many varieties of bees, Sedgman said counters will use broad criteria to identify many varieties, categorizing them by whether they collect pollen on their stomachs (hairy belly bees) or legs (pollen pants bees).

“It’s very difficult for a newbie — I don’t consider myself a newbie, but I still have great difficulty in identifying some of these bees,” she said.

While the subtle differences can be hard to spot, Sedgman said pollen collection is easy to see.

“When they’re flying on the flowers, you can see the pollen on their bellies,” Sedgman said.

Volunteers also learned how to identify honeybees, bumblebees, flies, butterflies,

Leon Leclerc and Jerry Lamar both originally received conditional sentences of two years less a day when they were sentenced in B.C. Supreme Court in January.

Within those original sentences, Lamar was ordered to serve 15 months’ house arrest while Leclerc was ordered to serve 18 months’ house arrest.

Both men also received two-year probation orders.

The original sentence was erroneously reported in a story on page A3 in June 8 edition of Kamloops This Week (‘Prison time for men who beat Mountie’).

Both men had their sentences overturned in B.C. Court of Appeal and will serve time in jail.

Golf Tip for the Week

By Lindsay MacDermott Teaching Professional

CHIP IT CLOSE

Improving your chipping is a great way to lower your scores. I encourage golfers to use a bump and run technique to help with consistency. Set your weight towards the target, play the ball back in your stance then press your hands toward the target.

From here, keep your wrists steady and simply use your arms and shoulders to generate your power. My chipping mantra is, “Use the ground and follow through”. Stick with it and you will be able to consistently feel that nice, crisp contact. Next, experiment with different clubs. Try using your 7 iron through sand wedge from a number of different locations around the green. Notice the different trajectories created and the ratio between the amount of time the ball spends in the air versus rolling on the green. Statistically, balls that spend more time rolling and less time in the air will help you chip it close more often. Take advantage of this when you have some green to work with. Remember, you can be very close to the green and very far from the flag!

Practicing with a variety of clubs will give you more options and help you make more up and downs during the round.

Comey: ‘I was fired because of the Russia investigation’ FORMER U.S. FBI DIRECTOR TESTIFIED THURSDAY BEFORE THE SENATE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE ERICA WERNER AND ERIC TUCKER

WASHINGTON — Former FBI Director James Comey asserted Thursday that President Donald Trump fired him to interfere with his investigation of Russia’s role in the 2016 election and its ties to the Trump campaign. “It’s my judgment that I was fired because of the Russia investigation,� Comey told the Senate intelligence committee in explosive testimony that threatened to undermine Trump’s presidency. “I was fired in some way to change, or the endeavour was to change, the way the Russia investigation was being conducted,�

Comey testified under oath. “That is a very big deal, and not just because it involves me.’’ Comey also accused the Trump administration of spreading “lies, plain and simple� about him and the FBI in the aftermath of his abrupt firing last month, declaring the administration “defamed him and more importantly the FBI� by claiming the bureau was in disorder under his leadership.

And in testimony that exposed deep distrust between the president and the veteran lawman, Comey described intense discomfort about their one-on-one conversations, saying he decided he immediately needed to document the discussions in memos. “I was honestly concerned that he might lie about the nature of our meeting, so I thought it really important to document,’’ Comey said. “I knew there might come a day when I might need a record of what happened not only to defend myself but to protect the FBI.�

The revelations came as Comey delivered his much anticipated first public telling of his relationship with Trump, speaking at a packed Senate intelligence committee hearing that brought Washington and parts

JAMES COMEY: Testified after fired by President Donald Trump.

of the country to a standstill as all eyes were glued to televisions showing the testimony.

The former director immediately dove into the heart of the fraught political controversy around his firing and whether Trump interfered in the bureau’s Russia investigation, as he elaborated on written testimony delivered Wednesday.

In that testimony, he already disclosed Trump demanded his “loyalty� and directly pushed him to “lift the cloud’’ of investigation by declaring publicly the president was not the target of the FBI probe into his campaign’s Russia ties.

Comey said he declined to do so in large part because of the “duty to correct� that would be created if that situation changed.

Comey also said in his written testimony that Trump, in a strange private encounter near the grandfather clock in the Oval Office, pushed him to end his investigation into former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.

Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia asked Comey the key question: “Do you believe this arises to obstruction of justice?� “I don’t know. That’s Bob Mueller’s job to sort that out,� Comey responded, referring to the newly appointed special counsel who has taken over the Justice Department’s Russia investigation.

In a startling disclosure, Comey revealed that after his firing he tried to spur the special

counsel’s appointment by giving one of his memos about Trump to a friend to leak to the press. “My judgment was I need to get that out into the public square,�

Comey said.

The Republican National Committee and other White House allies worked feverishly to lessen damage from the hearing, trying to undermine Comey’s credibility by issuing press releases and ads pointing to a past instance where the FBI had to clean up the director’s testimony to Congress.

Republicans and Trump’s own lawyer seized on Comey’s confirmation, in his written testimony, of Trump’s claim Comey had told him three times the president was not directly under investigation.

Trump himself was expected to dispute Comey’s claims that the president demanded loyalty and asked the FBI director to drop the investigation into Flynn, according to a person close to the president’s legal team who demanded anonymity because of not being authorized to discuss legal strategy.

The president has not yet publicly denied the specifics of Comey’s accounts but has broadly challenged his credibility, tweeting last month Comey “better hope there are no ‘tapes’’’ of the conversations. “Lordy, I hope there are tapes,� Comey said at one point Thursday, suggesting such evidence would back up his account over any claims from the president.

But it was a Democrat, Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, who asked the question many Republicans have raised in the weeks since Comey’s firing as one media leak followed another revealing Comey’s claims about Trump’s inappropriate interactions with him.

Discussing the Oval Office meeting where Comey said Trump

asked him to back off Flynn, Feinstein asked: “Why didn’t you stop and say, ‘Mr. President, this is wrong,’?’’ “That’s a great question,’’ Comey said. “Maybe if I were stronger, I would have. I was so stunned by the conversation I just took it in.�

The hearing unfolded amid intense political interest and within a remarkable political context as Comey delivered detrimental testimony about the president who fired him, a president who won the election only after Comey damaged his opponent, Hillary Clinton, in the final days of the campaign.

Clinton blamed Comey’s Oct. 28 announcement that he was re-opening the email investigation for her defeat. She has argued she was on track to victory when Comey’s move raised fresh doubts about her. “If the election were on Oct. 27, I would be your president,� Clinton said last month.

Many Democrats blame Comey for Clinton’s loss, leading Trump to apparently believe they would applaud him for firing Comey last month.

The opposite was the case as the firing created an enormous political firestorm that has stalled Trump’s legislative agenda on Capitol Hill and taken over Washington.

Under questioning Thursday, Comey strongly asserted the intelligence community’s conclusion Russia did indeed meddle in the 2016 election. “There should be no fuzz on this. The Russians interfered,�

Comey stated firmly. “That happened. It’s about as unfake as you can possibly get.�

Trump has begrudgingly accepted the U.S. intelligence assessment that Russia interfered with the election. But he has also suggested he doesn’t believe it, saying Russia is a “ruse� and calling the investigation into the matter a “witch hunt.�

Trudeau reaffirms his opposition to constitutional negotiations with Quebec LA MALBAIE, Que. — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is once again dismissing Quebec’s call for constitutional negotiations.

Trudeau said Thursday he and his Quebec MPs work regularly to increase Canada’s impact in the day-to-lives of Quebecers.

He added he and Premier Philippe Couillard have a great working relationship and he is

happy to continue along those lines with the Quebec leader to improve the way the country functions.

But Trudeau told a news conference in La Malbaie, northeast of Quebec City, that future discussions about Canadian unity need not take the form of official constitutional negotiations.

Couillard said last week his

government plans coast-to-coast discussions on Quebec’s place in Canada with the hope they will eventually lead to the province signing the 1982 Constitution.

Trudeau quickly responded by saying his views on the matter were clear and the country was not reopening the Constitution.

NAFTA meeting sidesteps elephant in room WASHINGTON — Canada’s premiers are gathered in Washington, trying to work around the elephant in the room.

Premiers from eight provinces and territories are in town for meetings related to the upcoming renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement.

Those meetings are happening with the U.S. capital transfixed by political scandal: People filled bars to watch former FBI director James Comey testify about his interactions with the president who fired him.

Still, there is important work to do, and people need to proceed under the assumption NAFTA negotiations will happen — and that they will happen under President Donald Trump, said Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne. The political uncertainty in the U.S. has added an element of unpredictability, but it’s the job of policymakers to prepare for an important renegotiation, Wynne said in an interview Thursday.

Wynne said she is hopeful about what she’s heard in Washington: people she’s spoken to favour a modest modernizing of NAFTA, not a full-scale overhaul.

YOU’re READY FOR A Vacation...

But is your vehicle?

CALGARY — Research from the University of Calgary’s School of Public Policy suggests there’s a connection between domestic violence and certain sporting events and holidays.

The study found domestic violence calls in Calgary were up 15 per cent on some days in the latter half of the 10-day Calgary Stampede compared with an average day.

For professional football

games, calls were 15 per cent higher when the CFL Calgary Stampeders faced off against the rival Edmonton Eskimos and increased 40 per cent when the Stampeders were in the Grey Cup final.

No connection was found when it came to hockey — even when the NHL Calgary Flames played the Edmonton Oilers.

The paper also says reports of domestic violence in Calgary

were 14 per cent higher than average during the 2013 flood.

There also appeared to be a correlation with falling oil prices.

The researchers recommend increasing publicly funded child care, working with sports organizations on education and conducting further research on the role of alcohol in domestic violence. — The Canadian Press

NORRISTOWN, Pa. — Bill Cosby acknowledged to police more than a decade ago that he fondled Andrea Constand after giving her what he said were cold-and-allergy pills to help her relax, according to a statement introduced Thursday at the comedian’s sexualassault trial.

But Cosby also told police Toronto-native Constand showed no ill effects from the 1.5 Benadryl tablets and never objected to his behaviour. The TV star said they had been

Cosby, 79, is charged with aggravated indecent assault and could spend the rest of his life

in prison if convicted.

He has said the sexual encounter at his suburban Philadelphia home in 2004 was consensual.

The January 2005 interview with police was conducted at his lawyer’s offices in New York about a year after the alleged assault.

Asked by police if he ever had sex with Constand, Cosby replied: “Never asleep or awake.� “I never intended to have sexual intercourse, like naked bodies, with Andrea. We are fully clothed. We are petting.

I enjoyed it. And then I stopped and I went up to bed,� he said, according to the statement read to the jury.

Prosecutors decided against charging Cosby at the time, shutting down a police investigation after four weeks.

A press release was issued in early 2005, saying Cosby would not be charged because the evidence had shown both parties “could be held in less than a flattering light.�

There was concern because Constand had stayed in touch with Cosby after the alleged assault and waited a year to call police.

A new set of prosecutors brought charges against Cosby a decade later, after a judge unsealed Cosby’s sworn testimony from a lawsuit brought against him by Constand. In his deposition, he talked about giving pills and alcohol to women he wanted to have sex with.

Some 60 women have come forward to say Cosby sexually violated them, but the statute of limitations for prosecution had run out in nearly every case. Constand’s case is the only one in which Cosby has been charged. — The Associated Press

FAITH

Family, faith and honour going hand in hand

O

ne of the great hymns, Faith of Our Fathers, celebrates not only faith in God, but also the mood of patriarchal piety.

A part of the song is “Faith of our fathers living still/in spite of dungeon, fire and sword/how sweet would be their children’ fate/if they, like them, could die for Thee.”

It’s a picture of the deep relationship between regard for parents and regard for the faith which they have given us.

It is indeed sweet to have a faith for which we could die.

Sadly, those who are willing to die for their faith are willing to kill others easily for it.

When we try to understand what the Bible has to say about faith in the family, we should be careful to understand it in the biblical sense and not in a sense of uncritical adoration of parents or their faith.

There is a trend of thought today that says submission to parents is part of an authoritarian age that is on the decline.

Certainly, the most conservative of us have no desire to return to the concept of “father” of ancient Rome or Germany.

In ancient Rome, the father had the right, without incurring any legal penalties whatsoever, to kill his children if they displeased him.

The right of life and death over the children was held by dads.

Fortunately, this is not a Christian concept. As a matter of fact, such patriarchal authoritarianism must never be confused with piety.

Let us not undermine the biblical teaching with unbiblical reactions.

A reaction to excessive authoritarianism

NARYAN MITRA

You Gotta Have

FAITH

is found in the current attack upon the family.

In recent times, some sociologists have told us we must completely reorganize our society because children of today know more than their parents do.

Their education is much better and knowledge is changing so rapidly that it is ridiculous for parents to assume they have the right to tell their children what to do.

It is imperative to know the Bible does not subscribe to such total authoritarian picture of family relationships.

As a pre-teen, Jesus went to the temple and apparently forgot about his parents.

They left for home, missed him, and started searching for him.

When his mother finally found Jesus in the temple debating with the scholars, she scolded him.

His reply, “I must be about my Father’s business,” hardly sounds like slavish submission to parents.

Apostle Paul could, in one sense, never have sung Faith of our Fathers. He left the faith of his father and repudiated it in some sense.

He was not one who submitted to a belief just because his parents did.

One of the commandments from the scriptures is “Honour your father and your mother, that your days may be pro-

longed in the land which the Lord your God gives you.”

In order to obey God, we may, at times, have to go against our parents’ wishes.

But there is no time when we may dishonour them.

In the case of unworthy parents, there is the honour due them as persons, as those who have sacrificed something for us even though we might have suffered wrong at their hands.

It is true that Paul repudiated the Jewish orthodoxy of his parents for the Christian religion he embraced.

But in defending himself before Governor Felix, he said: “I do serve the God of our fathers.”

His conversion was not total repudiation but a fulfillment.

It’s as if he was saying: “I am really going back to the true religion of the fathers.”

Many of the secular attacks on the family today are without justification. Underlying so much of the talk we hear today is the idea that because they are young, the youth know more and they alone achieve.

It is certainly true that many great things have been accomplished by young people both today and in the past.

But let’s not forget that Moses was an octogenarian when he led the exodus out of Egypt.

Let us forget the business of the old and the young and walk together the path of parental and filial piety.

Respect is due every human being.

Young people’s incapacity to accept this fact in regard to their parents will destroy their capacity to relate to anyone else.

They cannot have a lousy relationship with their parents and

have a good relationship with everyone else.

Even the worst parent is worthy of respect as a person.

The biblical standard of honouring and obeying parents does not mean children are without recourse.

The church does not endorse, carte blanche, everything parents do or say.

Thankfully, we do not live under the Roman law today.

The laws of the land say parents are denied the right to do certain things to their children.

Let us remember, above all, the example of Jesus because “He learned obedience from the things which he suffered” (Hebrews 5:8).

When the Father asked him to die, he responded: “Father, save me from this hour.”

There wasn’t any voice, but he knew there was an answer to which he replied: “Not my will, but Yours be done.” ryanmitra225@ gmail.com KTW welcomes submissions to its Faith page. Columns should be between 600 and 800 words in length and can be emailed to editor@ kamloopsthisweek. com.

Golf, tour wineries, hike in Kamloops

I

f you’re planning a staycation this summer, make it a playcation by adding adventures to make the most of those precious days off. A playcation is merely a staycation, with a lot more fun.

Here are some ways in which to add excitement to your holidays in the Kamloops area: • Practise your best Happy Gilmore impression — or maybe it’s better to opt for Rory McIlroy — on one of the many golf courses in the region. From the worldclass Tobiano Golf Course just outside of the city to the charming pitch and putt Pineridge Golf Course in Dallas, there are many fairways from which to choose for every level of golfer.

• Explore the Kamloops Wine Trail. Gone are the days when one had to travel to the Okanagan to sample local vinos now that the

burgeoning wine region is in our backyard.

Try the famed blueberry wine east of the city at Monte Creek Ranch Winery or opt for some bubbles at Harper’s Trail Estate Winery.

Spend the day enjoying wine tastings, sitting on patios and touring the best the area has to offer. Just be sure to secure a safe ride home.

• You don’t need to spend money to have fun in Kamloops. The outdoors are a playground thanks to the many trails throughout the rolling hills. Stay in the city for a 360-view in Kenna Cartwright Park or head past Chase to learn about historic logging practices on the Upper Flume Trail.

One is only limited by the hands on their watch, with endless opportunities to climb elevation.

• If you want to head outside but avoid the vigorous activity, consider outdoor theatre.

Chimera Theatre will perform its medieval swordfighting tournament, Knights of the Sun, on weekends through the summer at Sun Peaks.

Make a day out of it by racing down the alpine go-cart track before grabbing ice cream from the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory or stay in Kamloops for outdoor theatre by heading to Prince Charles Park during X Fest.

• Music in the Park returns on July 1, offering nightly live music in Riverside Park, along with shows on Wednesday nights in McDonald Park. The free shows continue through the end of August. Bring a picnic, bring a blanket or walk across the street to Scoopz Ice Cream Parlour for a waffle cone.

For more local adventures during your playcation, go online to tourismkamloops.com.

Kamloops Lake beckons boaters and more

O

ne of the most interesting places to paddle in the area is around Kamloops Lake.

Situated on the Thompson River just west of Kamloops, the lake is 1.6 kilometres wide, 29 kilometres long, and up to 152 metres deep.

Because it is fed by the North Thompson and South Thompson rivers — the latter of which drains from the temperate Shuswap Lake, Kamloops Lake is a warm lake.

A boat launch, trestle and gas dock are available at Bruker Marina at Tobiano, which has undergone dramatic expansion and is in the process of creating sandy beaches. Bruker provides the only such facilities on the lake.

Both Savona and Kamloops also have boat launches, but their use is limited in the later summer months of low water.

For kayakers, a great place to launch is at Cooney Bay. From there, one can paddle across the lake to the old arched train bridges still in use today. The stonework on the bridges is immaculate, so paddle up close to see the intricate detail.

Once you have seen the series of bridges, paddle back across the lake to the train tunnel.

Canadian National and Canadian Pacific have rail lines along each side of the lake.

At Cooney Bay, there is a beach and plenty of opportunities for bird watching.

HOW TO GET THERE — From Kamloops, drive past the airport as you go west on Tranquille Road. Continue on Tranquille for about 18 kilometres. The road gets bumpy for the next few kilometres. You will reach the parking area at Cooney Bay, where you can launch your kayak.

uperficial small talk, a quick picture and an autograph.

The typical fan interaction is often forgettable for professional athletes such as the B.C. Lions, who are holding their CFL training camp in Kamloops for the eighth consecutive year.

With FanFest scheduled for Saturday night at Hillside Stadium, a few of the Leos were asked to recount Lionbacker liaisons that strayed from the norm.

“Some fans will be talking football and I’ll be like, ‘They don’t know what the hell they talking about,’” Lions’ receiver Manny Arceneaux said. “I just pay it no mind.

“Or, when everybody just assume I was Shawn Gore and I’m like, ‘Oh, ‘cause we both black, huh?’ But that one be funny. They don’t get to see us with the helmet off.”

Mistaken identity is not usually an issue for Solomon Elimimian, who credits his dreadlocks for that. In fact, the CFL’s reigning defensive player of the year said some fans know him a little too well.

“You get the fans that know everything about you,” the Lions’ linebacker said. “They know your college stats, your high school stats, your family and the things you’ve accomplished.

“I’m not going to say stalker, but it’s scary that somebody knows as much as you do or knows your stats better than you know them.”

Tannis Morin posed for a picture before mingling with the B.C. Lions three years ago at FanFest.

2011, said the occasional socialmedia interaction is off-putting and he does run into fraudulent fans on occasion.

“Sometimes, I’ll hear stuff like, ‘Oh, I love the Lions,’ this and that, and then they’ll say something completely off the wall, like it’s the middle of March and they’ll ask what the team’s record is right now.”

But most of his encounters are positive, pointing to an example this week to prove it.

“In December, we do a BC Children’s Hospital visit,” said Lulay, now the backup to starting signal caller Jonathon Jennings.

“We visited a little boy who was having cancer treatments, Carter, and he is in full remission now.

We saw him on Tuesday night in Calgary.”

Lulay recently spoke at a high school awards banquet in his home state of Montana and was approached by a parent in the crowd, the father of one of the

students being recognized.

“He said, ‘My son wore 14 through Pop Warner because he saw you play in college,” Lulay said. “You really can leave a strong impression on young people.

Those kinds of moments remind you to carry yourself the right way.”

Elimimian remembers being in awe after meeting Steve Largent, the Seattle Seahawks’ Hall of Fame receiver.

“I was about nine and it just kind of blew me away, how personable he was, how nice he was and how he preaches on hard work and work ethic,” he said.

“It makes it real. For young kids, there’s no telling how big of an impact it is for them.”

Being able to mingle with the pros is an opportunity Arceneaux missed out on in his childhood.

“Coming from Alexandria [Louisiana], I’m from the ‘hood and I never had those moments,” Arceneaux said. “Being able to bring a pro team out this way and interact with all the kids and people that come out is something good because that’s something they don’t get to do every day.”

FanFest runs Saturday from 5 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. For the complete schedule, which includes events for fans young and old, along with a fireworks display, go online to bclions.com.

“Anytime we come to Kamloops, they show so much love,” Elimimian said. “It’s kind of like our second home. This is our reward to them.”

RiverDogs ready for all-star weekend

TURTLE VALLEY DONKEY REFUGE

Hay Day aiser unrJune FSunday 11 th

ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

10am—4pm

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Five members of the Kamloops Kal Tire RiverDogs have achieved all-star status.

B.C. Baseball released its rosters this week for the annual midsummer classic, which will take place at Richmond’s Latrace Field this weekend.

A pair of RiverDogs — catcher Rhys McKenzie and pitcher/ infielder Christian McCauley — will play in the Grade 12 showcase.

Pitcher/infielder Jared Pringle, centrefielder Dylan Kooistra and right-fielder Dax Defelice will suit up in the Grade 11 showdown.

“Obviously, it’s always nice that the league recognizes some contributions that guys make but, again, ultimately, as a team we know what we need to do every day to achieve success,” RiverDogs’ manager Sean Wandler said.

Asked if having three players named to the Grade 11 team means good things for Kamloops in the future, Wandler said it’s difficult to look ahead to next season.

“Who knows? You can never predict the future,” he said. “You hope all three guys will be back and will be part of this program.

“Regardless, we just deal with the current season and it’s great to see that those three are getting the opportunity to participate this year.”

The manager had a little to say of each of his team’s nominees: • On McKenzie: “Rhys is a third-year veteran, also a team captain, so not only has he proven his abilities on the baseball diamond, but as a leader as well. He has contributed and stepped up behind the plate and at the plate.

• On McCauley: “Christian has come a long way as a pitcher.

He made the starting

rotation this year after getting the odd work in the past and he has really shown a lot of improvement there. He has also made the transition over to first base from third base this year and has done really well there as well. . . . He’s a very versatile player that has come a long way.

• On Pringle: “Jared was on the 16U Select Team last year as a Grade 10 . . . he has basically carried on with that success.

Over the past couple weeks he has got back to his old velocity and done some really good things on the mound.

There, again, he’s one of those competitive

guys that will do well.

• On Kooistra: “Dylan is just one of those guys that is quiet and hangs out in the background, but is a force on the field. He’s probably in the top three fastest guys in our league, runningwise. In addition to that, both last year and this year, he continues to be very strong offensively, at the plate.

Patrolling centre field for us he has been rock solid defensively.

• On Defelice: “Dax, defensively he has just been a rock solid anchor out there in right field for the club.

At the plate, he just has a tonne of power. He swings a really big stick

in the cleanup spot for us.”

The rest of the RiverDogs won’t play during the all-star break, but will return to the diamond on Sunday, June 18, for a pair of games in The Wack against the fourth-place Chilliwack Cougars (13-10).

The Dogs are ranked fifth in B.C. Baseball’s College Prep League with an 11-11 record.

The club’s next home action will be on June 24 and June 25, when Canada Games Field will play host to the Ridge Meadows Royals (13-8) and the Richmond City Chuckers (16-6).

BLAZERS’ PROSPECTS WILL TAKE TO THE ICE; NO RIZZO, DOAN The Kamloops Blazers will hold their prospects camp this weekend at Sandman Centre and Brock Arena.

Spectators are welcome to attend, with 24 prospects born in 2000, 2001 and 2002 taking to the ice on Saturday and Sunday.

The first session will run on Saturday from noon to 2:15 p.m. at Brock Arena, the second from 9 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. on Sunday at Sandman Centre.

Two notable prospects will be absent.

Massimo Rizzo, the highly touted forward from Burnaby who the Blazers selected with their first pick in the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft, is on a family vacation and will be absent.

The Rizzo family is expected to meet with team brass at the end of the month to discuss Massimo’s future. He has not yet signed with the Blazers or committed to play in the WHL. Josh Doan, the Blazers’ 190th overall pick in Round 9 of the 2017 bantam draft, is also on family vacation and will be absent from camp this weekend.

He is the son of NHLer Shane Doan, a part-owner of the Blazers who lives in Arizona.

Fans will be able to get their first look at Josh Pillar, the Blazers’ 14th overall pick at the 2017 draft.

Top three in B.C.

A pair of Kamloops runners hit the podium at the B.C. High School Track and Field Championships in Abbotsford on the weekend, bringing three bronze medals back to the Tournament Capital.

Logan Hwang led the way with two third-place finishes, crossing the line in a time of four minutes, 11 seconds in the 1,500-metre and a time of 9:16 in the 3,000m.

Both were new personal-best times.

Meanwhile, fellow Westsyde Whunda Matthew Campmans won a bronze medal in the 110m hurdles, shaving a half-second off his personal best by clocking in at 14.94 seconds.

On the national stage

The Kamloops Renshikan Karate Club grabbed a handful of medals in Richmond on the weekend, competing in the first annual Canada Open Karate Tournament.

A total of 644 competitors were in attendance, with athletes representing Canada, the United States, Mexico, India, France and Japan.

Four members of the Kamloops club competed, with Jocelyn Fennell leading the way with three medals.

The Kamloops Blazers used the 14th overall pick at the 2017 WHL Bantam Draft in Calgary in May to select forward Josh Pillar. He will participate at the local WHL club’s annual prospects camp this weekend. The club’s first-round bantam draft pick in 2016, Massimo Rizzo, is on family vacation and will not attend the camp.

Tournament Capital Sports

BRIEFS Fennell captured silver medals in both the women’s advanced black recreational kumite and the 18/19/20 girls’ elite kumite divisions. She also won bronze in the women’s elite division.

Fennell will attend a Junior National Team training camp in Toronto this week before heading to Umag, Croatia, for the World Karate Federation Karate 1 Youth World Cup at the end of June.

Also competing in Richmond were Connor Steeves, Cheyanne Fennell and Jayme Fennell.

Jayme captured a gold medal in the 14/15 girls’ advanced black recreational kumite division.

Packing medals

Five Kamloops Volleyball Association Pack teams medalled in the 2017 club season.

Pack Mike won gold at the girls’ 16-and-under Division 3 tier 1 national championship; Pack Ashley won gold in the girls’ 14-and-under Division 3

tier 1 provincial championship; and Pack Kevan placed first in the boys’ 16-and-under tier 2 division at the Kamloops Battle of the Border tournament.

Pack Paul claimed silver at the girls’ 15-and-under Division 1 tier 4 national championship and Pack Stephen won silver at the girls’ 15-and-under Division 4 tier 1 provincial championship.

The 2018 club season starts in January 2018, with team tryouts in December 2017.

Splendid spring

The 2004 Kamloops Junior Blazers capped their spring hockey season with a silver medal in the AAA division at the Stampede Challenge in Calgary on the weekend.

Kamloops posted a 3-1 record in round-robin play and bested the Alberta Junior Generals 8-3 in semifinal action before losing to the University of Saskatchewan Huskies prospects team in the final.

Garrett Martin led the Blazers in points on the weekend, with eight. Ryan Larsen and Kyle Sanford each had six points.

Brendan Smith and Kailen Huber shared goaltending duties.

Kamloops won two gold medals, one silver medal and two bronze medals at spring tournaments this season.

PITTSBURGH — Viktor Arvidsson was just hoping to make the Nashville Predators roster at last fall’s training camp. He not only earned a spot on the team, he became one of only 26 players in the NHL to score 30 goals in the regular season.

Now, the 24-year-old Swedish sleeper is starting to make an impression in the Predators’ first Stanley Cup final. Arvidsson broke a 15-game drought with his third goal of the playoffs in the Preds’ Game 4 win and rode a threegame point streak into Game 5

against the defending champs, played after KTW’s deadline on Thursday.

“I try to contribute as much as I can,’’ Arvidsson told reporters in Nashville before a flight to Pittsburgh. “Of course, it was nice to get one.’’

Much like Penguins 22-yearold Jake Guentzel, Arvidsson became an unexpected star for the Predators. He nearly quadrupled his output in his second NHL season, matching linemate Filip Forsberg for the team lead with 31 goals and 61 points. He also led the league and set a franchise record with five short-handed goals.

Like puzzles? Then you’ll love sudoku.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.

The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Obituaries & In Memoriam In Loving Memory Of Antonio Iadarola May 29, 1928 – June 10, 2012

A day does not pass without thoughts of you.

Our heartache brings only tears as our loss is overwhelming.

You are in our hearts forever.

Your loving wife Rosa and Family

Leslie Allan Bodnard July 18, 1934 – May 27, 2017

Les is survived by his wife of 60 years Amanda (Bubbles Palmer), son Pat (Sherry), two daughters Marcia (Jim) and Andrea, three grandsons Tyler Bodnard, Alex MacDonald and Chris MacDonald, brother Harvey (Wilma) and many nephews, nieces and cousins. He was predeceased by his parents John and Beatrice Bodnard, sister Evelyn (Alois) and brother Stanley (Helen).

Les was born in Watson, Saskatchewan and raised on the family farm at Englefeld. He worked on the farm until 1955 when he moved to Kamloops to work for the winter, but never returned to his home province. He met Bubbles when he was employed at Frolek Sawmills and they married in 1956. He was offered an apprenticeship at North Kamloops Motors in 1956, displaying a natural mechanical talent, having gained a lot of experience and knowledge fixing farm equipment on the Englefeld farm. Les worked for Bill McEwen until he purchased Sagebrush Services with Leo Van Tine in 1961. After Leo’s departure two years later, Les became the sole owner for the next 32 years, privately and then leasing the station to Shell Oil for ten years. In 1973 he bought a ranch in Rosebud, Alberta, where he expanded his stable up to 80 horses and continued with his focus on breeding, training and racing Quarter Horses. Returning to Kamloops and selling the Alberta ranch in 1980, Les continued dedicating his talents on breeding, breaking and training, running Quarter Horses for many years, winning many stakes races throughout

She will be forever remembered by her cherished husband Ron, her children Matthew, Daniel (Ariel), Bethany (Fraser) and Amanda (Nick), her grandchildren Simon, Cadence, Madelyn, Isaac and Owen, her siblings Karen, Heather, Dawn, Randy and their families, her extended families the Willes’ and the Czops, as well as many friends in Victoria and Kamloops.

Brenda’s gift of compassion, her courage and her quick wit will be missed daily by all those who knew her.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, June 24, 2017 at Kamloops Christian School, 750 Cottonwood Ave., Kamloops, BC at 2:00 pm.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the New Life Mission (Coldest Night of the Year) would be appreciated.

Les also enjoyed doing his leatherwork, building all his own racing tack and thousands of halters for Select Horse Sales. Les also did many tack repairs for horsemen he knew. Les never lost his lifelong love of horses and horse racing and shared this passion with the many people he met throughout his life.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, June 17, 2017 at 2:00 pm in the Schoening Funeral Chapel.

Mike (Michel) Garneau March 7, 1947 – May 10, 2017

It is with deep sadness that his sisters Denyse and Nicole announce that Mike passed away on May 10, 2017.

Mike was born in Montreal, QC to Dr. Jean and Andrée Garneau. The things that were important to him were to help those you care for, to be kind and to be fair. He had a great love of life and made friends wherever he went. He had a wide variety of interests including music, flying small planes, amateur (ham) radio, computers and fixing anything mechanical. Those who knew Mikey have lost a generous and witty friend.

He will be dearly missed.

He leaves his son Marc (Cody), brothers-in-law Daniel, Brian and Glen (Jan), nieces Adrienne (Michael) and Kassie, nephew Dane and many cousins.

Michel has been reunited with the love of his life Gail, who passed away in 2007.

For all their caring support, we thank Lexina, Phaedra, Patty, the staff at The Hamlets and Interior Health/RIH staff as well as his many friends.

Donations in his memory will be gratefully accepted for the Renal Unit at the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation, 311 Columbia Street, Kamloops, BC V2C 2T1; www.rihfoundation.ca

Schoening Funeral Service 250-554-2429

BC, Alberta and the United States.

Following the sale of the service station in 1995, he and Bubbles settled on a smaller acreage in Oliver, BC. In recognition of his achievements and contributions to the industry, Les won many awards from the American Quarter Horse Association, notably the World’s leading QH percentage trainer and leading Quarter Horse Trainer at numerous race meets throughout the Northwest. Les was inducted into the Northwest Quarter Horse Breeders Society Hall of Fame.

Steven Petro Polywkan 1939 - 2017

Steve was born in Prudhomme, Saskatchewan on August 15, 1939 and passed away peacefully at Kamloops Hospice on May 10, 2017.

After graduating from Langley High School in 1958, Steve married Carol Bregg in 1962 and together had two children, Perry (Darlene) and Pamela (Phil) in April 1964. He worked at CIBC for 39 years prior to retiring in 1997 holding many positions in many towns and cities across BC and the Yukon.

Steve’s family grew to 20 with grandchildren and great-grandchildren, a wonderfully supportive and loving family.

Steve was a member of the Kamloops Golf and Country Club for 20 years, and a Director there for four years. He was also a member of the MacArthur Island Curling Club for 18 years, holding various positions there too. He enjoyed golfing and camping, so we enjoyed many years with family and friends in trailers, fifth wheels and finally a motorhome. He will be missed very much by all who knew him, but especially his family, of which he was very proud.

Many thanks to Drake Cremation and Funeral Services for all their help, and to the wonderful care at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice; donations can be made there in Steve’s name.

Preserve the memories of your loved one not only for now but for future generations with your pictures. We will make a video that can be used at your service, if you choose, and also put it on our website where it can be viewed from anywhere in the world.

Chad Michael Ferris On May 28, 2017, in Whitehorse, YT, a car accident claimed the life of our beloved Chad at the young age of 32. He is deeply missed by his parents Lee and Kathy Ferris of Kamloops, his sister Holly Ferris of Yellowknife, NT, the love of his life Maddi Kempf of Kelowna and many cousins and other relatives near and far.

Chad was born on May 6, 1985 in Richmond, BC. He moved with his family to Kamloops in 1988. He graduated from Valleyview Secondary in 2003, and upon graduation pursued a career as a Red Seal Carpenter. This line of work often led to his being away from Kamloops for extended durations. Chad was renowned for living every moment to the fullest.

He was known for his infectious laugh, kind smile, mischievous nature and welcoming energy. He was a natural in sports competing for many years as a goalie in hockey, completing his career at the Junior A level in Bonneyville, AB. Spending quality time with his adoring loved ones ranked very highly for him throughout his far-too-brief time among us.

A Celebration of Life for Chad’s family and friends will be held this Saturday, June 10, 2017 the Sandman Centre Lounge, 300 Lorne St. in Kamloops, BC at 2:00 pm.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the ALS Society or a charity of your choice.

Please cherish your memories of Chad, and be inspired to live life as he did; laughing, smiling and never wasting a single moment.

I’m Glad I Touched Shoulders With You From Bob White’s Scrapbook

There’s a comforting thought at the close of the day When I’m weary and lonely and sad That sort of grips hold of this crusty old heart And bids it be merry and glad.

It gets in my soul, and it drives out the blues, And finally thrills through and through.

It’s just a sweet memory that chants the refrain, “I’m glad I touched shoulders with you.”

Did you know you were brave, Did you know you were strong, Did you know there was one leaning hard, Did you know that I listened and waited and prayed And was cheered by your simplest word?

Did you know that I longed for that smile on your face, For the sound of your voice ringing true, Did you know I grew stronger and better because I had merely touched shoulders with you?

I am glad that I live; that I battle and strive For a place that I know I must fill; I’m thankful for sorrows I’ll meet with a grin What fortune may send good or ill; I may not have wealth, I may not be great but I know I shall always be true, For I have in my life that courage you gave, When once I touched shoulders with you.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Helen Keith

June 11, 1932 - June 6, 2017

IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES

With profound sorrow we announce the passing of our deeply beloved Mother, Helen Keith (Bugera) of Kamloops.

She passed away peacefully on June 6, 2017 at the age of 84.

Mom was born in Vita, Manitoba, the daughter of Mike and Mary (Kiss) Bugera. She was the third of ten children.

Ask DRAKE

She met and married the love of her life, Gordon Kyle Keith in 1956, and moved west to B.C. (Chilliwack/Aldergrove) and together they raised four beautiful daughters, Linda (Bob) Shields of Kamloops, Barbara (Bart) Abercrombie of Mission, Donna (Len) Bourgeault of Kamloops and Heather (John) Fehr of Kamloops, plus thirteen grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren.

Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director

Every Friday in KTW!

Q. Do I have to give the stainless steel disk back?

Mom stayed at home to raise her family, and in 1990 they moved to Lac La Hache where she served as a Post Mistress for a number of years. She loved her veggie and flower gardens, and was well known for them in the area as “The house with the garden”. She was also an avid angler. She particularly loved ice fishing and spent many hours on lakes in the surrounding area of Lac La Hache.

In 2011 they made Kamloops their home, and on December 8, 2016 celebrated their 60th Wedding Anniversary.

A. The ashes (cremated remains) come back from the crematorium with a stainless steel disk.

A client recently told me that the funeral home demanded the disk back, after the family scattered the ashes. FACT: it’s yours to keep.

Mom was a kind gentle soul, loved by all who knew her. She was an inspiration to us all and we will miss her dearly.

A Remembrance Ceremony will be held on Tuesday, June 13, 2017 at 2:00pm. at the Schoenings Funeral Home at 513 Seymour St., Kamloops, BC. Tea to follow.

Thank you to all of the staff at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice for making Mom’s final days peaceful.

If I knew it would be the last time That I’d see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in more tightly And pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

But just in case I might be wrong, And today is all I get, I’d like to say how much I love you And I hope we never forget.

If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss And call you back for one more.

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, Young or old alike, And today may be the last chance You get to hold your loved one tight.

If I knew it would be the last time I’d hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day.

So if you’re waiting for tomorrow, Why not do it today?

For if tomorrow never comes, You’ll surely regret the day,

If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute To stop and say “I love you,” Instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.

That you didn’t take that extra time For a smile, a hug, or a kiss And you were too busy to grant someone, What turned out to be their one last wish.

If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day, Well I’m sure you’ll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away.

So hold your loved ones close today, And whisper in their ear, Tell them how much you love them And that you’ll always hold them dear

For surely there’s always tomorrow To make up for an oversight, And we always get a second chance To make everything just right.

Take time to say “I’m sorry,” “Please forgive me,” “Thank you,” or “It’s okay.”

And if tomorrow never comes, You’ll have no regrets about today. © Norma Cornett Marek ~ 1989

There will always be another day To say “I love you,” And certainly there’s another chance To say our “Anything I can do?”

Four Directions secondary students Alanna Dick (left) and Isabelle Young were two of the 24 teens to take part in an in-depth examination of indigenous media representation. Dick’s photography project charts the generational influence of residential schools, while Young’s video piece looks at the challenges of finding role models and educational access on remote reserves.

FOUR DIRECTIONS STUDENTS SHARE STORIES THROUGH ART ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

I

n Alanna Dick’s photos, three generations of family members stand in front of the doors of the now-closed Kamloops Indian Residential School, dressed in the type of traditional clothing that would have been disavowed inside.

“Residential schools tried to take away our culture, our language,” said Dick, a Grade 10 student at Four Directions secondary.

She hopes her photography project, created as part of

a study of indigenous representation in media, can draw attention to the way trauma from residential schooling has rippled out beyond those who attended.

“Trauma can run through blood, which goes to the third generation, which is me and my peers,” Dick said.

While the schools were the subject of a major documentation effort by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in recent years, Dick said the way it has echoed down through families isn’t well understood by other Canadians.

“Whenever it comes to indigenous stuff, white people always say ‘get over it,’” she said. “But it’s a huge negative impact on aboriginal people.”

Dick’s project is one of 24 created by Four Directions students, each highlighting a story or issue they felt compelled to share. The presentations, which range from photography and visual artworks to short videos, include topics such as mental illness, homelessness and the Powwow.

Program co-ordinator Jordan Smith said the goal was to get students thinking about how indigenous stories are told in media, and how media can contribute to or shape social change. To prepare for their own works, students spent a day at the University of British Columbia meeting with members of a student-run radio station and a CBC journalist.

They also met with local artist Chris Bose and Thompson Rivers University social work lecturer Jeffrey McNeil.

“The topics they chose are incredibly challenging,” Smith said. “It’s very brave to take something personal and offer it up in such a public way.”

When Grade 10 student Isabelle Young was tasked with choosing a story to share with her community, she looked to her home — a remote reserve in Manitoba, about five hours north of Winnipeg.

While the reserve has a school, it only goes up to Grade 9,

It’s very brave to take “something personal and offer it up in such a public way.”

— JORDAN SMITH, program co-ordinator

Young said, and students who want to continue on with their education need to move south to Winnipeg or north to a boarding school about six hours away.

It’s a challenge Young said many of her friends and peers have struggled with, and which has led some to drop out and return home.

“It’s hard to leave everything you know,” Young said.

While she has cousins in Kamloops to help her adjust to a new city, she said living away from home is still difficult.

“I have support but it’s not the same.”

She hopes her short video, Role Models Wanted, will highlight the need for a high school, and spark a conversation about changes needed on the reserve and the value of education for future generations.

Art in the Park has Canada 150 focus Interactive mural new to annual event Local and regional artists will return to Riverside Park this Canada Day for Art in the Park.

To mark Canada’s sesquicentennial anniversary, the Kamloops Arts Council (KAC) will feature an interactive mural project during Art in the Park festivities, led by local First Nations artist Chris Bose.

Those who visit the park will have the opportunity to help finish painting sections of the mural, which will incorporate nature and First Nations themes.

“Canadians have a lot to celebrate,” said KAC executive director Kathy Sinclair. “As part of this year’s celebrations, we wanted to find a way to honour the immense contribution of our First Peoples, the land and the diversity that leads us into the future.”

The idea is to install the mural in a public location, which has yet to be determined.

Art in the Park features more than 100 artists, who will show and sell their works. It has been

part of Canada Day celebrations in Kamloops for more than 40 years. The day also features the Kamloops Multicultural Society’s Folkfest.

An open-mic stage is also new to festivities this year and guests are invited to bring an instrument and sign up to perform throughout the day.

KAC is seeking volunteers both in advance and on the day of the event.

MP3 files far from dead

Open source audio format still handy for audio engineers

T

he mp3 is dead.

Long live the mp3.

The creators of the mp3 audio format, Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits (FIIC), have declared the mp3 to be dead.

In May, they ended funding for the patents on the format.

Their reason was that the mp3 was out of date and other audio formats surpassed it in compression and audio quality.

But the mp3 is not dead — far from it.

The mp3 audio format came into popularity in the 1990s, as a way to convert and compress digital audio files up to 95 per cent by taking out parts that the average human ear can’t hear.

It was developed as a way to pass audio around the Internet by dial-up modem connections quicker.

The mp3 file was and still is a popular way to share music, from the early days of Napster to the more modern style of illegal

mp3 will continue “toThe be ubiquitous because,

like a CD player, every digital player can play an mp3 file.

EDIT bit-torrents. But modern and better formats, such as Advanced Audio Coding (AAC), have replaced the mp3 in most commercial recordings.

The AAC performs better than mp3 at higher file compression rates, though this mainly matters for recording engineers and producers.

In general, the average human ear can’t tell much difference between an uncompressed audio file on a CD, an mp3 or an AAC or other audio format.

Like many abandoned technologies,

like the cassette deck or the Atari 2600 video game console, the mp3 will continue to live on.

The patent abandonment just means FIIC won’t be providing technical support for the format. It’s essentially an open source audio format.

The mp3 is still a very handy format for audio engineers, who may need a quick way to record something and send off a in-progress project to a collaborator for a quick listen. Podcasters almost exclusively use mp3 format for their projects.

The mp3 will continue to be ubiquitous because, like a CD player, every digital player can play an mp3 file.

Unlike iTunes, for

example, which uses a format that works only for that player, the mp3 can be played on any software, regardless of who made it.

And it’s small enough to store lots of music with little in the way of perceptible audio loss.

In the future, another format may take over for the usefulness and all-consuming presence of the mp3. But, like a vinyl record, mp3s will be around as long as someone finds a way to use them and enjoy them.

Serial star, guilty of killing girlfriend, seeks new trial THE CANADIAN PRESS

Attorneys for a man convicted of killing his high school sweetheart, and whose story is at the centre of the popular podcast Serial, argued Thursday he deserves a new trial after his conviction was vacated.

Prosecutors and lawyers for Adnan Syed presented arguments before the Maryland Court of Special Appeals.

A lower court judge last year vacated Syed’s conviction and ruled he deserved a new trial because his original attorney failed to cross-examine a key witness. The court will issue a written decision at a later date.

Syed was convicted in 2000 of murder in the death of his high school girlfriend, Hae Min Lee, and burying her body in a shallow grave in a park in northwest Baltimore. He was 17 at the time.

Last year, a judge vacated Syed’s conviction and ruled he deserved a new trial because his

trial attorney, the late Cristina Gutierrez, provided ineffective counsel when she failed to cross-examine the state’s cell tower expert about the reliability of location data that placed Syed near the burial site.

Syed’s story was widely publicized in the 2014 Serial podcast, which cast doubt on his guilt and inspired armchair investigators to dig into the case’s details and unearth new information.

In asking for a new trial, attorneys initially argued Gutierrez erred when she failed to call Asia Chapman to the witness stand. Chapman said

she saw Syed at the Woodlawn library around the same time prosecutors say Lee was murdered. The judge, Martin Welch, disagreed with this claim.

This was Syed’s second attempt at a new trial. Welch denied an earlier post-conviction relief bid in 2014 after determining Gutierrez’s decision not the pursue Chapman was the result of reasonable trial strategy, not negligence.

After the judge’s decision, Syed’s attorney Justin Brown said he anticipated the state’s appeal.

“This is obviously an incredible victory,” he said at the time.

“We know the state is not going to give up, and we’re ready.”

Serial attracted millions of listeners and shattered records for the number of times a podcast has been streamed or downloaded. When asked if Syed would have likely won a new trial without the fanfare surrounding Serial, Brown said, “I don’t think so.”

Finding a new home in Canada COLLEEN FRIESEN

SPECIAL TO KTW

It was a quest.

We would drive across Canada and find somewhere new to live.

We’d been across the country before but this time was different. We rented out our Vancouver apartment for a year, put our severely-edited things into storage and stuffed the rest into the teeny drawers of our new turtle-shell; a 17.5-foot RPod trailer.

Starting through Washington, Oregon, Montana, we travelled up to Saskatchewan and back to B.C. After a Mt. Robson hiking trip, we got serious about heading east.

We poked our way through little towns and big cities. Whether canoeing to Grey Owl’s cabin in Waskesiu, learning about the bisons at Elk Island National Park or hiking to Boom Lake in Banff.

It was when we got active and engaged a place came alive.

In any town that looked interesting, we asked the same question, “Do you like living here?” The answers varied.

One woman in Stratford, Ontario was so passionate about her home that we almost moved there on the spot — easily imagining our new world filled with live theatre.

In Quebec, we cycled the 200-kilometre P’tit Train du Nord, staying at wonderful inns and discovering jewels of

Mount Robson in B.C. is a popular location in which to hike, due to its pristine crystal blue waters and jagged peaks.

villages. Val David and Saint Sauveur were our favourite towns.

We imagined our new bilingual lives filled with flaky croissants and platters of poutine but we still had further to go. Then we got to Nova Scotia.

Nova Scotia is not Canada’s biggest province. It comes with an awful lot of nothing for long stretches of highway; sections where

traffic might consist of one other random vehicle.

In fact, some little towns almost look abandoned.

Hidden traps and fishing lines seem staged for players in coves and bays.

Remember that game you played as a child?

The one in which you intertwine all but your index fingers

and thumb.

“This is the church, this is the steeple,” your index fingers creating the steeple, while the other fingers are interlaced and hidden below.

“Open the doors and see all the people.”

Remember how you opened up your thumb ‘doors’ and there were all those wiggling fingers?

That’s what Nova Scotia is like.

There were discoveries down every road and behind almost every door and music, oh my, there was music — especially on Cape Breton Island where it is as woven into the landscape as the rock and the kelp.

In Antigonish, we found Peace by Chocolate, a tiny chocolate shop run by newly arrived Canadians.

The Hadhad famFebruary 25 4 days

ily ran a well-known chocolate factory in Damascus.

Like so many others in Syria, their world was destroyed.

With the support of a welcoming new town, they are building new lives, one piece of delicious chocolate at a time.

Near Yarmouth, on the Acadian Shore, we cycled against a stiff Atlantic wind in the second annual Gran Fondo Baie Sainte Marie.

We found a tiny town on a dramatic coastline filled with community spirit.

Then came Lunenburg — colourful and funky, with all the tourist pull you’d expect in a place that harbours the ship that is embedded on our Canadian dime.

But it was in Lunenburg where I could imagine a life filled with books, art, films, culture and community.

Everyone I asked was effusive about living there.

We drove up and down the maple-lined streets, looking at the restored old homes, gobsmacked at the compared-to-Vancouver-ridiculously-low prices. $695

In October, the weather started to shift.

We started back West.

When we saw the Rocky Mountains, we both grinned. The forests got thicker. We felt the pull of the familiar.

So, after almost six months and 37,000 kilometres, we ended up renting a cottage on the Sunshine Coast.

When we really distilled our requirements for that perfect place, we realized friends and family topped the list and most of them are here in the West.

We knew no matter where we chose to live, it would be an adventure and eventually we’d make new friends.

And we knew that in a new location, we’d discover new aspects of ourselves as we adapted to new surroundings, but we also knew that, “You can never make new old friends.”

I’m gazing out on the silver-greys of the Salish Sea as I write this. The deep green of the forest surrounds me and I know that, for right now — we’re home.
