Friends and family of a Lower Mainland man killed by a freak accident during a target shooting competition in Kamloops are raising money online for his family.

A GoFundMe page has been set up to accept donations for the family of Richard Cho, identified as a member of the Port Coquitlam and District Hunting and Fishing Club.

The GoFundMe page was launched on Sunday and raised nearly $2,000 of a $5,000 goal in its first day online.

Cho, 50, died on June 11 while taking part in a two-day competition at the Kamloops Target Sports Association range in west Kamloops.

Association president Jim Sloper described the incident as a freak accident.

him in the abdomen.

“I think there were about 120 competitors,” he said. “It was unfortunate. Somebody dropped his firearm and it went off. He was an experienced shooter, an instructor.”

Sloper said he can’t recall a similar incident ever taking place in the past.

Cho’s family plans to hold a memorial service in the Vancouver area next month.

ARREST, CHARGE IN CONNECTION TO MURDER TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A man has been arrested and charged with murder in connection to the death last year of a man found unresponsive outside a North Kamloops apartment building.

James David Bond, 28, is facing one count of second-degree murder in connection to the Dec. 30 death of 42-year-old Sean Dunn. Bond was released on a $10,000 surety on Monday.

He cannot contact Dunn’s relatives, cannot leave B.C., is barred from North Kamloops and must abide by a 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew.

Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said Bond was arrested

without incident on Friday, noting he has a minor criminal record and no previous history of violence.

Emergency crews were called to the area of Tranquille Road and Wood Street in the early morning hours of Dec. 30.

They found Dunn unconscious by the side of the road and were unable to revive him.

In January, police said they had spoken to everybody at the scene at the time of the incident, but no arrests had been made. Investigators have said they believe the incident stemmed from an argument between Dunn and another man inside a nearby pub and that the two may have become acquainted that evening.

Sean Dunn was killed on Dec. 30, 2016.

Dunn was Kamloops’ fourth and final homicide of 2016.

He was a registered practical forester and talented skier and musician who left behind a 15-year companion and large extended family.

Dunn, or “Dunner” to his

friends, moved to Kamloops in 1981 from Prince George. He graduated from NorKam senior secondary and worked for IPAC Consulting for 25 years, most recently as project manager for the Southern Interior in the Grand Forks area.

According to the obituary, Dunn had a passion for animals and donated to organizations locally and in Mexico, where he loved to visit Zihuatanejo.

He was often seen with a Philadelphia Eagles hat atop his head and was a member of Kamloops Golf & Country Club.

Dunn was described as a talented guitar player. His athletic pursuits included snow and water skiing and golf. He also played rugby and hockey.

another officer entered from the passenger side and screamed at him to get out.

When Patrick got out of the vehicle, Butler noticed a bulge in his jacket.

“Before laying hands on the respondent, Cpl. Butler asked the respondent, ‘Do you have something on you?’” wrote B.C. Court of Appeal Justice Gregory Fitch.

Patrick patted the bulge in his jacket and replied, “Shotgun.”

The lower court judge, Hyslop, ruled Butler’s concern for her safety in asking the question was not reasonable because there were a number of Mounties at the scene and the three passengers were polite and co-operative.

Fitch ruled Butler did not know Patrick was carrying a sawed-off shotgun when questioned him.

If she did not ask, and simply began patting Patrick down, “it is conceivable that the search could have caused the loaded, sawed-off shotgun to discharge, imperiling the lives of everyone present,” Fitch wrote.

City businesses are getting hit with a slew of counterfeit U.S. bills.

Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said businesses have reported accepting what turned out to be fake American $20 bills or declining them due to concerns about appearance.

She said businesses should review counterfeitdetection techniques with employees.

“As well, let employees know it is within their right to refuse any cash payment if they suspect it might be counterfeit,” Shelkie said.

The Bank of Canada website has more information on detecting counterfeit American and Canadian bills.

• One of three Kamloops teenagers charged in connection to an armed swarming that resulted in a school being placed on lockdown has pleaded guilty.

The boys cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act because they were under 18 when the alleged incident took place.

Brocklehurst middle school was placed on lockdown on March 3 after reports of a shooting in the area.

Police later said the weapon involved was a BB gun, that the incident took place off school grounds and that three youths had been arrested.

One person was taken to Royal Inland Hospital and treated for injuries.

In Kamloops provincial court on Monday, one of the teens entered guilty pleas to three charges and sentencing was put over to allow for a report to be completed by bail officials. The other two accused remain before the courts.

speaking Chiropractor joins council race LOCAL NEWS

SUMMER VACATION IS HERE …

Not from oral health though!

Summer break is a time of relaxation and fun for kids: Dr. Preety Desai sleeping in, taking family trips to the beach or going to summer camps. But it’s equally important for kids to maintain good oral health habits.

School year is by definition regimented in its structure with routines in place. Before bed each night, kids brush and floss and repeat brushing in the morning before school. It’s easy to fall off the wagon during summer holidays.

But falling of the wagon means bad breath, gum disease and cavities don’t take a vacation.

SUGGESTIONS: A) STICK TO A ROUTINE, NOT A SCHEDULE. The nine months that make up the school year usually come with a pretty rigid schedule for the kids. While a summer schedule isn’t necessary, keeping kids in some type of general routine is helpful. This includes reminding them that even if they are staying home all day, staying up late or sleeping in, they still need to follow through on their daily oral-health routine.

B) STAYING HYDRATED. Summer months bring warm temperatures and more outdoor activities.

Keeping hydrated is important to staying healthy and maintaining every system and region of the body. This includes the mouth. Drinking water can help prevent dry mouth and the negative effects that come with it such as bad breath, tooth and gum disease, mouth sores, gingivitis etc. Dry mouth can even cause taste buds to shut down, making foods taste less appetizing.

C) WHAT ARE YOUR KIDS DRINKING. It might be tempting to give kids sports drinks because of their claim to replenish bodily fluids. However, these have negative effects on oral health because of high levels of acids and sugar, They are loaded with sodium, which can have a counter-effect to relieving thirst. The best bet is to drink plenty of water before, during and after participating activities.

D) SNACKING may also take over regular meals and this too can expose the child to more frequent onslaught of sugar loads on a chronic basis and as such the tooth surface is again prone to more decay and breakdown. Make sure meals are eaten as opposed to frequent snacking.

A Kamloops chiropractor who wants to see more transparency at city hall is the third candidate in the race to replace councillors Marg Spina and Ken Christian in a byelection expected to be held in late September.

“I’ve always been a doer,” said Steven Karpuk, owner of Aberdeen Chiropractic Clinic.

He traces his interest in local politics back to his days at Cariboo College (predecessor to Thompson Rivers University), when, as a member of the students’ society, he helped launch the college’s first back to school barbecue.

Karpuk said he has considered running for council for a number of years, but was waiting until his three children reached an age at which he could make

the time commitment.

“I think we can do better than what we’re doing right now,” Karpuk said. “I’m not saying current city administration and council are not doing anything. It’s just, to me, I’d like to see if my voice can add something to the mix.”

Among his goals are a full connection of the Rivers Trail throughout the city, which he said would provide recreational benefits and could also work as flood mitigation in areas of the North Shore.

He also wants to bolster the city’s commercial and tech sectors and create a long-term vision for what the city should become.

“I know we talk about Kamplan all the time, but let’s get some vision about what we’re going to do to change the city,” he said.

Karpuk also hopes

to encourage the city to better inform residents about its plans and projects, an area in which he said the current council has failed to fully live up to its potential.

“I’d like to make that more of an issue, where we are being very, very transparent and telling

parent, a little more tangible, I think that would lend itself to less animosity towards our current city council.”

Karpuk believes some of his own education could give him a boost in a council seat.

While he has worked as a chiropractor for 14 years, Karpuk previously attended a Simon Fraser University master’s program focused on planning and sustainability.

If elected, Karpuk would become the second member of his household with a local government position.

Trustee seeking council seat Gerald Watson, a lawyer and longtime school trustee, wants to follow in his father’s footsteps by seeking a seat on city council in the September byelection. Watson’s father, Ronald Watson, served on council in the late 1980s.

A veteran school board trustee will add his name to the ballot in September’s civic byelection.

Gerald Watson said Monday he will run for one of the two councillor positions created by the resignation of Ken Christian, who will run mayor. The mayor’s chair opened after Peter Milobar was elected Kamloops North Thompson MLA on May 9. The other councillor spot was created by the resignation of Marg Spina for medical reasons.

“When I looked at the prospect of Peter Milobar being elected, I expected at least one councillor would resign to run for mayor,” said Watson, who was a senior member of Milobar’s B.C. Liberal election team.

“I was already looking ahead at the

next election.”

Watson is vice-chair of the KamloopsThompson board of education, having first been elected in 2002 and re-elected in 2005, 2008, 2011 and 2014. He ran unsuccessfully for city council in 1996.

Watson’s father, Ronald, was elected for one term in 1988 on Phil Gaglardi’s Action 88 team.

“He took all the flack for building the Coliseum,” Watson said.

“It just wasn’t popular at the time.”

As for today, Watson said he’s not pushing a building agenda. He said he wants to add a “common sense” voice on council, with an understanding of working with other elected people.

Watson’s only current area of concern is his

belief the city is lagging on creation of singlefamily lots, which he said can limit growth and drive up housing prices.

Watson is pastpresident of the Rotary Club of Kamloops, pastpresident of the board of directors of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kamloops and Region and past director of Community Futures Thompson Country.

Watson was also the first Kamloops trustee elected to the British Columbia Public School Employers Association board of directors and campaigned for the No-STV side in the last two referendums on electoral change, in 2009 and 2005.

RIVER DROPPING EVER SO SLOWLY

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

In the past week, river levels have dropped over one metre and boat launches have reopened. As water levels remain high, the City of Kamloops reminds residents to continue to use caution in and around waterways.

There have been reports of dislodged river markers and residents are asked to be extra cautious if they are on the river with motorized boats. Idling speeds are recommended as a precautionary measure and to prevent river bank erosion. Additionally, high waters have caused excess debris requiring extra vigilance for all water users.

The city is offering free sandbag disposal at landfills, the locations of which are online at http://www.kamloops.ca/ garbage/landfills.shtml.

Water complaints taper off ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The City of Kamloops says complaints about strange-tasting tap water have tapered off as river levels fall, but it is still not clear exactly what happened.

Utility services manager Greg Wightman said quarterly tests at the city’s water-treatment plant, which include factors that could impact taste, as well as impacts on health, have not yet come back from the lab.

But tests conducted after the first complaints of the strange-

smelling and tasting water have indicated there is no health risk.

Wightman said utilities staff have flushed the system in areas where residents have complained, in an effort to put better water into the system. Plant technicians have also made some tweaks in an effort to combat the taste.

He thinks recent flooding in the region could be to blame.

“We’ve seen the highest turbidity levels in the river since the plant opened,” he said.

“It’s probably related to that, something to do with the pro-

cess we use to treat the water to remove all the health concerns and there’s potentially been a reaction there.”

Wightman said the city has received 14 complaints about the water, which are not localized to a specific area, and he’s hopeful the complaints will dissipate.

“We’ve seen the turbidity levels in the river start to drop, the water itself start to drop,” he said. “All the things that seemed to coincide with the start of these complaints are getting better.”

MICHELLE JEAN PHOTO This cougar cub, about five months of age, has been brought to the B.C. Wildlife Park from the Vernon area. Once the young cougar is out of quarantine, it will be introduced to the other cougar in the park, Zoe.

Cougar cub from Vernon area joins B.C. Wildlife Park family CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The newest resident of B.C. Wildlife Park was caught this spring after cougars were reported preying on farm animals in the Vernon area.

The cub remains in quarantine at the east Kamloops wildlife park, part of its normal protocol when bringing in new animals.

Conservation officer Kevin Van Damme said the cub, now estimated to be about five months old, was with its mother and a sibling in an area of small acreages near Vernon. The animals killed a llama on two separate occasions in early April.

With the big cats considered a threat, conservation officers went out with a dog team to track them down. The cub now at the wildlife park was caught in a foothold trap, while a second juvenile was treed by the dogs. Van Damme said the pursuit went through yards and small acreages.

The mother and cubs were considered habituated to people and therefore dangerous, Van Damme said. The second juvenile was destroyed, but conservation officers were not able to track the mother.

Van Damme said conservation officers were

aware the wildlife park was seeking a second cougar after a male in captivity died from natural causes about a year ago, so the decision was made to send it to the facility rather than destroy it.

“Only a fairly young animal is suitable for that environment,” Van Damme said.

Glenn Grant, executive director of B.C. Wildlife Park, said the facility has sought a young cougar “for quite a while.

“If it’s a young, healthy animal that can be put back [in the wild], that’s our first priority,” he said.

Van Damme said research has shown cubs younger than six months have no chance to survive on their own. There is no relocation program in B.C., but he said a cougar in the range of 10 or 11 months “not involved in learned behaviour could be let go.”

Once the young cougar is out of quarantine, it will be introduced to the other cougar in the park, Zoe. Grant said the exhibit, reconstructed and expanded in 1997, has a holding area where the cub will be introduced to Zoe. Once they are comfortable with one another, it will be given the full run of the exhibit.

While there will be a male and female cougar, Grant said the wildlife park does not have a captive breeding program.

Report: no weapons needed City of Kamloops bylaw officers should not carry pepper spray, batons or handcuffs.

That’s the recommendation of a months-long review of bylaw services up for discussion at a Kamloops city council workshop on Tuesday morning.

In a report from David Duckworth, director of community safety and corporate services, council is advised to “maintain the current practice regarding defensive equipment” for its

officers, despite a push last year from bylaws staff.

The report also recommends adding another supervisory position, which would increase the percentage of shifts with supervision from 36 per cent to 86 per cent, and moving all bylaw level two officers — those who aren’t tied to downtown parking enforcement — to 12-hour shifts.

The additional supervision would increase the bylaw budget by

$44,000 if several other management and clerical positions in the department remain vacant.

The report also calls for a rebranding of the community safety and enforcement division to the bylaw services division, the launch of a public education campaign with a goal of increasing the public’s understanding of the bylaw services division and enhancement of the bylaw services division’s online presence.

AN EDUCATION OF OUR SYSTEM

I

t has now been about a month-and-a-half since B.C. voters went to the polls to choose a new government and, perhaps, failed so comprehensively that we may soon again be headed to another election.

That may be harsh, but the fact remains voters did not exactly deliver a coherent message on May 9.

Still, the last month has at least helped British Columbians improve upon their abysmal knowledge of the Westminster system of government.

Unfamiliarity, dissembling politicians, an erratic media and — let’s face it — the generally boring nature of the topic have left most with little comprehension of how, exactly, politicians obtain the right to govern.

The last month has been a crash course, and, to their credit, politicians and the media have improved their previously uneven record on the subject.

Politicians from all sides have largely stayed away from trying to convince voters of the existence of imaginary rules that would benefit them if they were real (although the spinning of our system’s rules is ramping up as politicians prepare to return to the legislature this Thursday).

And, after some early stumbles, the B.C. media — parts of which stumbled after the results came in — has improved its coverage and knowledge base and, hopefully, voters’ awareness of our system.

All of which provides some consolation as politicians return to the legislature and the province hurtles toward what may be an election that no one really wants.

Thursday’s speech from the throne and what it includes will set the stage for an NDP/Green governing entity or another election campaign sooner than any of us ever imagined.

At least it’s an educational kind of political craziness.

Big bucks for B.C. Libs

F

inancial contributions continue to pour into the B.C. Liberal Party, documented by its voluntary “realtime” disclosure that started in January and abruptly stopped at the end of May. This has carried on after the election in which the Liberals lost their majority and set the stage for the “GreeNDP” rebel alliance.

Now the Imperial dynasty is assembling a veritable Death Star of campaign cash.

Their last disclosure report was filed June 2 and runs to 13 pages. It shows the prospect of another taste of B.C. NDP government isn’t hurting the Liberals’ bottom line.

Most of the more than 500 donations for the last week of May are from individuals — $25 here, $200 there. A few big ones jump out, such as $19,500 from Anthem Properties Group, $20,000 from Burnaby real estate lawyer Garth Evans and $30,000 from Vancouver developer Holborn Holdings.

There’s $13,700 from the Progressive Contractors Association of Canada, representing companies that mostly employ members of the Christian Labour Association of Canada.

That’s the discount construction union that made a B.C. breakthrough with a hefty share of work on the Site C dam.

IATSE Local 891, the B.C. local of the international union representing movie and theatre artists and technicians, cut a cheque for $5,000 to Team Christy Clark.

Other than the Steelworkers, who covered the payroll for the

TOM FLETCHER

Our Man In

VICTORIA NDP election campaign, privatesector unions have been drifting away from their historical home.

It was a good week for the Liberals with forest companies. The Interior Lumber Manufacturers Association gave $5,000, Skookumchuck Pulp Inc. pitched in $20,000 and Western Forest Products tied for the week’s biggest donation with $30,000.

Skookumchuck, north of Cranbrook, is now a division of Paper Excellence, the Indonesianowned private corporation that bought the mill from Tembec in 2013. Paper Excellence also resurrected the pulp mill in Mackenzie and owns Howe Sound Pulp and Paper.

This impressive donation pace is one motivation for the Liberals to use delaying tactics in the legislature session that begins this week.

The pitch is simple: the socialist hordes are once again at the gates, to borrow a phrase from legendary premier W.A.C. Bennett. Only this time it’s socialism with solar panels — and the B.C. Green spending plan makes

the NDP look like cheapskates.

It’s a rumour-heavy environment in the legislature these days and here’s one of the wilder ones I’ve heard.

Clark’s throne speech is to be presented Thursday, after the much-anticipated election of a Liberal MLA as speaker. The speech will no doubt emphasize the Liberal plan to reduce Medical Services Plan premiums, which was adopted by the NDP for the election and is consistent with B.C. Green Leader Andrew Weaver’s idea to shift the burden to personal income tax.

The political game is to make it as awkward as possible for the NDP and Greens to vote against it.

And this tactic could go further.

The Liberals can delay the crucial vote on the speech by introducing legislation and forcing debate on that instead. They could do this multiple times.

What legislation would be most difficult for the opposition parties to oppose? A bill to eliminate corporate and union donations. That would also be the first to be presented by a new NDP government, as it was by NDP Premier Rachel Notley in Alberta.

Could the Liberals possibly be so hypocritical as to bank another $10 million or so and then make a show of calling a halt to the corporate cash machine?

Wait and see.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

EMPLOYEE APOLOGIZES FOR THEFT Editor: Dear Argo Road Maintenance: I am writing to express my sincere apologies for my actions on Dec. 4, 2015, at the Argo office, regarding the theft of Save-On-Foods gift cards,

valued at $50 each for a total value of $800.

I ask that I can repay the amount of $800 to Argo Road Maintenance.

This action has been an embarrassing situation.

Unfortunately, on Dec. 4, 2015, I suffered the

effects of bi-polar disorder and major depressive disorder.

My initial untreated symptoms did indeed contribute to the unacceptable behaviour.

At this time, I have been treated with several

new medications and am also under psychiatric care.

William Baillie Barriere Editor’s note: William Baillie stood trial in the Kamloops provincial court

in May, charged with theft under $5,000 and possession of stolen property under $5,000. His charges were stayed after Crown and defence agreed that Baillie repay Argo for the theft and write a letter of apology to Argo.

WE NEED REAL COST-SAVING IDEAS FROM CANDIDATES Editor: Cindy Ross Friedman, a mayoral candidate in this September’s byelection, has stated she will not accept her salary for one year if elected mayor, offering her service as a test drive until the general civic election of October 2018.

I am wondering if this is a desperate plea to get Kamloopsians to vote for her?

I would like to remind Friedman that accepting a job

as mayor is not like trying on a pair of jeans; we are not going to vote her in so she or us may “test drive” the position.

Perhaps Ross Friedman looked at KTW’s online poll, which saw her lose by more than 20 per cent to Ken Christian.

Following her announcement on Twitter that she would not accept the mayor’s salary, Ross Friedman then tweeted: “I abhor the idea of not getting paid for work done. But I view this one-

year term work as service to the #Kamloops community.”

This is confusing, given she just previously tweeted she would be willing to do the job for free.

If this is an example of the confusing decisions Ross Friedman makes in her life, I can only imagine how indecisive she will be at city hall.

Ross Friedman needs to come up with a stronger and more solid platform than not accepting a sal-

ary for her to receive my vote.

I can appreciate the sentiment, that she is so committed to Kamloops that she is willing to work for free, but I’d like to hear more compelling reasons and ideas for how she will move the economy in Kamloops (including saving Kamloopsians some tax dollars, but not by simply refusing a salary, which is a short-term solution).

DOGS, EMERGENCY VEHICLES NEED A MUTE BUTTON Editor: I write to support Sandy Matthews’ letter regarding barking dogs downtown (‘Dog days of summer are too loud,’ June 13).

The city limits the number of dogs allowed per household. But perhaps it is also time to put a limit on the number of dogs per city block.

It is nearly impossible to spend an afternoon (even two or three hours) enjoying my downtown yard in any season

because of barking dogs.

I even hear them if my doors and windows are closed. We have dogs next door, across the alley and on our block and the next block over.

Some, but not all, owners let them out for just a short while. Some have two dogs that set each other off.

I have spoken to their owners and have received various responses, from co-operation to no co-operation for my right to enjoy peace and quiet.

Emergency vehicles are also intrusive, but I have lived in cities where they didn’t blast their sirens from anywhere right to the hospital or police station.

Couldn’t emergency drivers in Kamloops hit their mute button on occasion?

I love dogs. I love the idea of a quick emergency response. But I also love peace and quiet.

Liberals snub Boeing THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Aerospace giant Boeing appears to have gotten the cold shoulder from the Trudeau government in Paris.

Three cabinet ministers are in the French capital this week to promote Canada’s aerospace sector and meet with various companies at the prestigious

Paris Air Show.

Those meetings include discussions with fighter jet makers such as Lockheed Martin, which is hoping its F-35 stealth fighter will replace Canada’s aging CF-18s.

But Transport Minister Marc Garneau and Industry Minister Navdeep Bains said there are no plans to meet with Boeing, despite previous talks to buy 18

interim Super Hornet fighter jets from the company.

It’s the latest Liberal government snub of Boeing following the U.S. firm’s recent trade complaint against Canadian rival Bombardier.

Ministers said the plan to buy Super Hornets from Boeing has been put on hold as the government considers all options for buying interim jets.

OTTAWA — The federal government is introducing legislation that would limit how long prison inmates can be kept in solitary confinement.

Once passed, the bill would — for the first time — impose a so-called legislative framework establishing a time limit for what prison officials call administrative segregation.

Under the current law, the Correctional Service of Canada is required to release prisoners from segregation at the earliest possible time.

The new law would establish a segregation time limit of 21 days initially, then 15 days once the leg-

islation has been the law of the land for 18 months.

The legislation also proposes amending the Corrections and Conditional Release Act and the Abolition of Early Parole Act to make them compliant with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

That includes reinstating an oral hearing after a suspension, termination or revocation of parole.

The legislation would also allow offenders convicted of an eligible offence before March 28, 2011, to once again have an accelerated parole review.

GG apologizes for reference TERRY PEDWELL

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Gov. Gen. David Johnston apologized publicly Monday for referring to Indigenous Peoples as immigrants as he bestowed honours on 29 people — including the frontman of the Tragically Hip — for their efforts in furthering indigenous causes.

Johnston told the investiture ceremony he misspoke when he said during a CBC Radio interview aired Saturday that the roots of Canadian immigration extend all the way back to include Indigenous People.

The comments, aired on CBC’s politics program The House, touched off a flurry of criticism on social media, where some listeners complained Johnston’s remarks reflected a deep-seated colonial mentality.

“Let me apologize for not expressing myself correctly on this

matter recently,’’ Johnston told Monday’s gathering, which followed an apologetic tweet of his own earlier in the day.

“Indigenous Peoples are the original peoples of this land.’’

The Governor General prefaced his apology by saying all of Canada’s inhabitants should be encouraged to create a better Canada.

“The better country we desire is, above all, a more inclusive one that supports, encourages and acknowledges the contributions of all peoples, including indigenous peoples.’’

Johnston was presiding over a ceremony in which Tragically Hip lead singer Gord Downie and 28 others were honoured for their work in raising awareness of indigenous issues.

Downie, wearing his trademark feathered hat and weathered denim jacket, stumbled slightly and then embraced Johnston before being inducted as a mem-

ber of the Order of Canada at the Rideau Hall ceremony.

The singer and social activist, diagnosed last year with an incurable form of brain cancer, was being recognized for his efforts to bring attention to the history of residential schools and to advance the cause of reconciliation.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was among the dignitaries in attendance and applauded as indigenous activist Sylvia Maracle was named an officer of the order.

Jacqueline Guest, a staunch literacy advocate with Metis roots, was inducted as a member of the order, while others received honours including the Meritorious Service Decoration, the Polar Medal and the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers.

They included Inuit NHL player Jordin Tootoo, Jarret Leaman, an advocate for indigenous LGBT youth, and actress and former Liberal MP Tina Keeper.

Chamber award to honour inclusive businesses TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A job search agency is looking to honour inclusive workplaces that make life easier for employees who might live on society’s margins.

Open Door Group is sponsoring the inaugural Inclusive Workplace of the Year Award at the 2017 Kamloops Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards.

“The goal is to recognize local businesses who have people with barriers or disabilities in their workplace,” said Jason Hewlett, Open Door’s director of marketing for the Interior.

Hewlett said the limitation does not have to be physical.

“It could be an immigrant new to Canada or an at-risk youth,” he said.

“We’ve had a good response. There’s been between 10 and 20 nominations so far that I know of.”

Hewlett said more companies are incorporating diversity and inclusion as part of their business strategy because of labour shortages.

“By engaging nontraditional skilled talent pools, including aboriginal communities, candidates with disabilities, recent immigrants, youth and older workers and more, companies broaden their access to an untapped labour pool,” he said.

“This award will recognize the outstand-

ing achievements of a Kamloops employer who is leading the way in workplace inclusion.”

Open Door was created in the mid-1970s.

“We’ve taken over the WorkBC banner in certain communities in B.C.,” Hewlett said.

“We operate two work-search centres in Kamloops — everything from running research

rooms where people come in on their own to one-on-one case management, guiding them on the path to finding a job.”

Open Door Group’s work-search centres in Kamloops are located downtown, 275 Lansdowne St., and on the North Shore, 795 Tranquille Rd. For more informa-

tion, go online to opendoorgroup.org.

The Kamloops Chamber of Commerce’s Business Excellence Awards, including Open Door’s inclusive workplace honour, will be handed out at a gala awards show on Oct. 21 at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre in Aberdeen.

Hewlett said the winner of the local inclusive workplace award will automatically be nominated for the B.C. Workplace Inclusion Award.

To nominate a local business for the Kamloops award, go online to kamloopschamber.ca.

Nominations close on June 30.

It’s your money and our reputation.

We take both seriously.

The goal is to recognize “local businesses who have people with barriers or disabilities in their workplace.

Posting for manager suggests Lululemon is coming to Kamloops It appears Lululemon is seeking mountain poses and sun salutations in the River City.

The Vancouverbased athletic apparel company best known for selling high-end yoga clothing has set up temporary pop-up locations in Kamloops in recent years, but an online posting on the company’s website for a “store manager” suggests a more permanent location is just a few vinyasas away.

Attempts to reach the company’s mediarelations team have been unsuccessful, but a company staffer confirmed the rumour via customer relations online chat.

If Twitter is any indication, a Kamloops location is in high demand.

FROM THE WINE TRAIL

Kamloops wineries win national accolades Three local wineries have received accolades at a national wine competition.

More than 1,400 wines from across the country were entered into the annual All Canadian Wine Championships, in its 37th year, with wineries from the Thompson valley picking up nine medals.

The awards included: • Double Gold: Monte Creek Ranch Winery’s 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve; • Gold: Monte Creek’s 2014 Ranch Hand Red Reserve, Harper’s Trail Estate Winery’s 2015 Cabernet Franc and Privato Vineyard and Winery’s 2014 Tesoro Pinot Noir Woodward Collection; • Silver: Monte Creek’s 2014 Cabernet Merlot and Harper’s Trail’s 2016 Pioneer Block Riesling; • Bronze: Harper’s Trail’s

2016 Silver Mane Riesling and 2016 Rose and Monte Creek’s 2016 Hands Up White.

“Wine competitions and professional reviews can hold a lot of weight in our industry,” said Trish Morelli, executive director of the Kamloops Wineries Association.

“To see our young Kamloops wineries do so well in a national competition of this calibre is a real testament to the talent of our winemakers and the quality of wine coming out of the emerging Thompson Valley wine region.”

The competition was adjudicated by 20 judges from six provinces over three days.

Categories were sorted by grape variety and price.

Wines were scored on a 100point scale. The competition is the oldest of its kind in the country.

Ball carrier Parker Matheson, who starred on the football field for the Westsyde Blue Wave, is one of six River City products to sign this year with the Kamloops Broncos.

BRONCOS SHAKING STIGMA, WOOING LOCALS

MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

he Bad News Broncos reputation is on its way out to pasture.

Parker Matheson and Kaden Cook represent a new era for the Kamloops Broncos, one in which standout local high school graduates are champing at the bit to play for their hometown B.C. Football Conference club.

“They were always my No. 1 choice,” said Matheson, who cracked the Westsyde Blue Wave’s senior team in Grade 10 and excelled in Grades 11 and 12. “I’ve thought about playing for the Broncos since I was a kid.”

Being able to recruit top players in their

own backyard might not sound like anything special, but it means something considering the poor reputation the Broncos developed, both on the field and off.

From inception in 2007 to 2013, Kamloops compiled a record of 12-57-1 and off-field attitude issues, by the team’s own admission, were giving it a bad rap in the River City.

“The whole mandate of starting this program was to give Kamloops kids the opportunity to play football after high school,” said Broncos’ head coach Brad Yamaoka, who took the reins in November of 2014.

“The first few years, it didn’t quite take off and we weren’t getting those local kids as much as we wanted, but the growth of our organization and the people involved has been great.”

There were plenty of local high school graduates who did decide to play for Kamloops during the lean years, valued alumni who helped keep the program alive, but others were opting to play elsewhere in the BCFC, some to not play at all.

Lliam Wishart is a prime example of what the Broncos were missing out on.

He was sought after coming out of Valleyview secondary in 2014 and opted to play in Kelowna for the powerhouse Okanagan Sun, a tough decision that eventually paid off.

Wishart signed with the UBC Thunderbirds after three seasons in the Little Apple and will begin his U Sports career this fall.

“There were so many pros and cons to both, but I was excited to move away from

home and work under [former Sun head coach] Shane Beatty at that time,” said Wishart, who broke out in 2016, catching 39 passes for 548 yards and five touchdowns to lead the Sun in receiving. “It wasn’t an easy decision by any means.”

Perhaps wooing Wishart would have been easier now, with former CFLer Yamaoka at the helm and a growing track record of player development.

The Broncos can point to three playoff seasons (the first two under head coach Duncan Olthuis in 2013 and 2014), a litany of players who have moved on to the U Sports ranks and one who signed with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers last month, Derek Yachison, recently placed on the CFL club’s practice roster.

Fielding Kamloops players good for business From A17

Changing opinions on junior football players in this town was a task taken on

by Jan Antons, who became the club’s general manager in 2014 and immediately began working on the team’s public perception.

“We are making behavioural changes, helping players make smarter decisions,” Antons told KTW in 2014. “We want to improve how professional the team is.”

Thompson Rivers University is a recruiting gem for the Broncos, but it could be even more valuable. The local junior football organization needs to get out of debt before it can establish a scholarship

partnership with the McGill Road institution.

“At the end of this year, we’re hoping to be in a financial position to really pursue scholarship opportunities,” Broncos’ president Dino Bernardo said.

Rounding out the class of Kamloopsians who signed with the Broncos earlier this month are Dayton Duplessis (DB, South Kamloops), Myles Everett (DL, Valleyview), Tyson McNeil (OL, South Kamloops) and

Jordan Smith ( OL, Valleyview).

“If they’re willing to put the time and effort in, all these guys are going to be key pieces in the next few years,” Yamaoka said. “We’re past the point where you can step in and almost be guaranteed to play in your first season.”

Last year was about rebuilding for the Broncos, who posted a 2-8 record to miss the playoffs after reaching the post-season in 2014 and 2015 with marks of 6-4 and 5-5, respectively.

“They’ve gotten a lot better. They didn’t win that many games last year, but they’ve gotten a lot better,” Cook said. “They are competing with all the good teams and there

are lots of great players on the team.

“It was kind of a no-brainer for me. I don’t have to pay for rent and I’ll go to TRU. It’s pretty perfect.”

Cook, a promising defensive back who will graduate from South Kamloops secondary this spring, said the Broncos’ reputation has changed among his peers, many of whom grew up playing together in the Kamloops Community Football ranks.

“As a kid, I’d always watch Broncos games and thought I wanted to play for the Broncos,” said Cook, who may take a year off school to work and focus on the gridiron.

“There’s definitely a chance I could play

here for four or five years, but I’d like to try and play football at the university level.

That’d be a dream come true, maybe go play out east, but if not, I’m fine with going to TRU and playing Broncos.

Football is football.”

Multi-sport athlete Ben MacDonald is bypassing the Broncos after starring at quarterback for the Titans.

He is leaping straight to the U Sports ranks to play at Bishop’s University in Quebec.

“If Ben can sign out of high school and go to CIS (now known as U Sports), that’s great,” Bernardo said. “We’re here to help those other kids who might not be ready to make that jump.

“If we lost a kid this year, it wasn’t because of him not wanting to play for the Broncos

to go to another junior team, it’s because they are going to CIS, which is ultimately the end goal for these kids.”

Landing locals is good for business at Hillside Stadium.

While much of Matheson’s extended family lives on the Coast, the Cook clan in Kamloops includes his parents, two brothers and “a bunch of cousins,” said Kaden, noting he expects to hear them cheering at home games.

“Most of these kids have families in town,” Yamaoka said. “A kid from Alberta might get mom and dad out to one or two games.

“From a business standpoint, that makes sense to us, but they have to be committed to football and competent.”

No one is crowning

the Broncos.

They have yet to win a playoff game, despite coming close in a 48-46 loss to the hometown Langley Rams in October of 2014.

But it must be comforting to know the season ahead is not a lost cause before it even begins, which was standard fare in the early years.

And the absence of doomed predestination is leading to better recruits — including top homegrown talent “When we were losing kids, it was, ‘Oh, you guys are losing and we want to be part of a winning program,” Bernardo said.

“The makeup of Parker and Kaden is, ‘We want to help make you a winning program.’

And that’s why I think these kids are special.”

Notice to Electors of Alternative Approval Process (AAP) Water and Wastewater Services Take Over

This notice is to advise electors in the Sun Peaks Mountain Resort Municipality (the Municipality) of the intention to take over water and wastewater services which are currently owned and operated by Sun Peaks Utilities Co. Ltd. (SPUCL) and adopt loan authorization bylaws No. 0092, 2017 and No. 0093, 2017.

The purpose of bylaw No. 0092 is to borrow an amount not to exceed $400,000 to finance the purchase of the composting facility from Sun Peaks Utilities Co. Ltd. that will be repaid over a period not to exceed 20 years. The Municipality has also received a $2,004,450 grant from the Province through the BCCanada Water and Wastewater Fund, to upgrade the water system. This grant is contingent upon the Municipality taking over these services and requires the Municipality to provide 17% of the project costs.

The purpose of bylaw No. 0093 is to borrow an amount not to exceed $550,000 to finance the Municipality’s portion of these water upgrades that will be repaid over a period not to exceed 20 years.

A copy of Bylaw No. 0092, 2017 and Bylaw No. 0093, 2017 and a summary of the proposal are available from the Municipal office during business hours each business day of the week. For project details, please contact Rob Bremner at 250-578-2020 or cao@sunpeaksmunicipality.ca Council has determined it is in the best interest of the ratepayers that Sun Peaks Mountain Resort Municipality take over these services as the Municipality may have access to grant funding towards infrastructure.

The Sun Peaks Mountain Resort Municipality Council proposes to borrow the money to purchase the composting facility and upgrade the water system unless, by 4:00 pm on July 21, 2017, at least 10% of the electors in the whole of the Sun Peaks Mountain Resort Municipality sign an elector response form opposing the implementation of the proposal unless the Sun Peaks Mountain Resort Municipality holds a vote. The number of elector responses required to prevent the Sun Peaks Mountain Resort Municipality from proceeding unless a vote is held is estimated to be 126. A report respecting the basis on which this determination was made is available upon request from the Municipal office.

Alternative Approval Elector Response Forms Elector responses are required to be submitted to the Sun Peaks Mountain Resort Municipality on forms that can be obtained during regular business hours from the Municipal office via the contact information below. The only elector response forms that will be accepted by the Municipality are the ones provided by the Municipality, or an accurate copy of the form.

Only electors of the Sun Peaks Mountain Resort Municipality are eligible to sign the elector response forms. There are two types of electors - resident electors and non-resident property electors.

Resident elector - a person who is a Canadian citizen, is 18 years of age or older, has resided in BC for the previous six months and has resided in the Sun Peaks Mountain Resort Municipality for the previous 30 days, and is not disqualified by the Local Government Act, or any other enactment from voting in a local election, or be otherwise disqualified by law (prior to signing an elector response form during an AAP).

RiverDogs held their own in Chilliwack doubleheader The midget AAA Kamloops Kal Tire RiverDogs earned a split against hometown Chilliwack in BC Baseball play on the weekend.

Chilliwack (15-11) edged Kamloops 1-0 in a pitching duel in the early game.

Jared Pringle was pitching a perfect game heading into the sixth inning before allowing his first baserunner with one out.

He allowed two hits in seven shutout innings, striking out six batters, before Tallis McLeod took the mound in relief.

McLeod gave up one run on two hits, with one walk and one strikeout.

The RiverDogs (1212) won the rematch 10-8, with McLeod, Brendan Mucha and Rhys McKenzie having strong days at the plate.

Kamloops will play host to a pair of doubleheaders this weekend on the Canada Games Field on McArthur Island, with Ridge Meadows (16-9) in town on Saturday and Richmond (16-7) here on Sunday.

Game times are 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. both days.

Cloverdale leads the league with a record of 19-2.

BRIEFS Lacrosse gold

The Kamloops Rattlers will be among the teams to beat at the A1 Bantam Provincial Lacrosse Championship, which will be held from July 13 to July 16 in Nanaimo.

Father’s Day Contest

My $#!% Dad SAYS Congratulations Lorne Wilcock Winner of 4 tickets to see the

George McPhee might as well be The Godfather of the NHL during the Vegas Golden Knights’ three-day expansion draft window.

He holds the cards for a significant chunk of the league’s talent, fielding calls from fellow general managers willing to trade something to keep McPhee from plucking certain players from their rosters or to take someone from another team to flip in a deal.

All trade roads run through Vegas. And every move has its price.

“Whatever you want to give us has to be better than what we can claim from that club,’’ McPhee said in Las Vegas on Sunday.

“Then we’re going to go to that club and say: ‘We have interest in this player, there’s another club that has interest in this player.

How do we want to do this? How

can we protect your roster? You can negotiate your way out of this if you wish.’’’

He emphasized that each team will be contacted and given the opportunity to have a say in protecting its roster.

Beyond building likely the most competitive expansion team in NHL history, McPhee has the golden opportunity to play some desperate teams against each other and build up a collection of draft picks and other assets. Vegas must pick one player from each of the existing 30 teams, but there’s only so much room on the roster next season, even with some minor league prospects thrown in.

Vegas could easily get its franchise goaltender in Pittsburgh’s Marc-Andre Fleury, a top-line

scoring winger with 10 20-goal seasons in Nashville’s James Neal and a top-pairing defenceman in Ottawa’s Marc Methot, while also picking up some potentially high draft picks for laying off young talent from Anaheim, Columbus and the New York Islanders.

Shortly after protected lists were released Sunday morning, GMs began calling McPhee to try to poach available players from other teams. Opportunistic GMs can feed the Golden Knights’ future to get a player who otherwise wouldn’t be on the trade market.

“Everybody’s going to have conversations,’’ Brad Treliving of the Calgary Flames said. “The staring contest ends. You see everybody’s lists. Now you start to have discussions and see if there’s things in there that can help.’’

McPhee expects to wait until late in this window to make final decisions before his picks must be submitted Wednesday morning.

Coyotes decline to offer Doan contract Shane Doan’s remarkable tenure with the Arizona Coyotes has come to an end.

The Coyotes announced on Monday they will not be offering Doan a contract for the 2017-2018 NHL season.

A longtime captain who moved with the franchise from Winnipeg to Phoenix, Doan is the team’s alltime leader in games played (1,540), shots (3,945), goals (402), assists (570), points

(972), power-play goals (128) and game-winning goals (69).

As of KTW’s press deadline on Monday, it was not known if Doan, 40, planned to look for work in the NHL or retire, although a recent

report indicated he wants to play one more season.

Doan is a partowner of the Kamloops Blazers.

His son, Josh, was drafted by the Blazers in May.

BY JACKIE HUSTON LENA, WISCONSIN

There’s an angel on your shoulder

Though you may not know she’s there, She watches over you day and night And keeps you in her care.

There’s an angel on your shoulder Watching you learn and grow

Keeping you safe from danger And nurturing your soul.

She’ll be there through your triumphs She’ll dance on clouds with pride, She’ll hold your hand through disappointments and fears,

Standing faithfully by your side.

In her lifetime this angel was strong and true, And stood up for what was right.

In your life you’ll be faced with decisions and trials And she’ll shine down her guiding light.

Life holds so much in store for you, So remember as you grow older,

There are no heights you cannot reach

‘Cause there’s an angel on your shoulder.
