BLAZERS PERFORM HOUSECLEANING Head coach Don Hay retires, while Recchi, MacGregor, Needham all let go MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Don Hay is retiring from his position as head coach of the Kamloops Blazers.

Majority owner Tom Gaglardi said the local legend was not forced out.

Gaglardi said he has not spoken to Hay since learning on Wednesday of his decision to leave, but news of his departure prompted a complete overhaul of hockey operations, which included the jettisoning of general manager Stu MacGregor, director of player personnel Matt Recchi and assistant coach Mike Needham.

“Don certainly understood where we were as owners and I’m not going to mince words,” Gaglardi said. “No one’s happy in Kamloops about where we are. We’ve missed the playoffs four years out of the last eight and it’s not acceptable.

“The news about Don meant that our ownership group had a deeper

look at the entire organization. We think it’s time to restart, to refresh and to look at some different options moving forward.”

Hay was not at the press conference on Thursday, a gathering called on less than three hours’ notice and staged at headquarters on Mark Recchi Way.

Should library staff have Naloxone kits?

Interior Health’s retrofitted RV serves as a mobile supervised drug-use site, but questions remain as to whether TNRD library and security staff should be trained to respond to overdoses.

KTW FILE PHOTO

JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

What happens if somebody overdoses inside or outside a public library in Kamloops?

A passerby might call 911, in which case that person’s fate relies on the response time of police or paramedics.

Customer Care and Patrol (CAP) Team members might be in the right place at the right time to administer Naloxone — as they were last month when they saved a person who had overdosed. They carry kits while roaming the streets to help tourists and monitor their respective areas.

But Kamloops library staff and security are not equipped with Naloxone kits and are not trained to administer the drug that temporarily reverses the effects of an overdose.

“We haven’t had an overdose incident in the library, in terms of where a Naloxone kit would have assisted somebody with an overdose,” Thompson-Nicola Regional District chief librarian Judy Moore said.

Kamloops has two public libraries run by the Thompson Nicola Regional District. One is in North Kamloops, at 693 Tranquille Rd., and the other is downtown, at Victoria Street and Fifth Avenue.

Moore said the issue of library overdoses is on her radar after

a man died in a Campbell River library on April 18.

“I don’t think that we’re there yet,” she said. “We are monitoring what is happening. There are perhaps a select number of libraries out there that have Naloxone kits.”

The downtown library is a community hub and has drawn the ire of some for loitering. Classical music was installed outside two years ago to move people along and a Kamloops resident went public last

year, calling for more security at the facility after she was treated for pepper spray.

While no incidents have prompted Naloxone training or kits as of yet, the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association’s CAP Team saved a woman overdosing near the downtown library just seven days before the Campbell River incident. CAP Team members performed CPR and administered Naloxone on April 11.

TNRD director of community services Ron Storie said the regional district board has not directed security to carry kits or receive training.

Board chair John Ranta said neither staff nor directors have informed the board of any issue that would prompt a change.

“We’re not aware that there is an issue that we would need to have Naloxone available at the library,” Ranta said.

Vancouver Public Library staff were prohibited from administering Naloxone to overdosing patrons before news broke last month and the policy was ultimately reversed.

Ranta said politicians at every level of government want to solve the opioid crisis.

“I know the opioid crisis is a huge challenge throughout the province and throughout the country,” he said.

Asked what happens if there is an overdose inside or outside a library, Ranta said somebody would phone 911 and a police officer or paramedic carrying Naloxone would administer the drug. Storie also noted the hospital’s location a few blocks from the downtown library.

City on pace for most OD deaths ever KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

During the first three months of the year, Kamloops recorded 12 illicit-drug overdose deaths, which has the city on pace to register the most such deaths in a calendar year.

In 2017, there were 39 overdose deaths recorded in Kamloops. In 2016, that number was 44. In 2014 and 2015, only seven such deaths were recorded in the city.

Looking at the death toll provincially, the first three months of the year did not see much of a change from the same period in past years, though the 161 deaths in March represent the second-highest monthly total to date.

For 2018, there were 391 deaths in B.C. between Jan. 1 and March 31.

Statistics show a low of 43 illicit-drug overdose deaths in the first quarter of 2008, increasing through the years to 89 in 2014, 104 in 2015, 221 in 2016 and 400 in 2017.

The majority of deaths continue to be young- to middle-aged males who die in their homes or another residence, such as a hotel, motel, rooming house or shelter.

The B.C. Coroners Service report released this week looks at overdose deaths and those linked to fentanyl and notes there were 18 in the Thompson-Cariboo-Shuswap region where toxicology tests have shown

the presence of fentanyl.

The drug is 100 times more potent than heroin and has been identified as fuelling the opioid crisis in the province.

The report states fentanyl was detected in 83 per cent of the deaths to date this year and 84 per cent of all illicit-drug overdose deaths in 2017.

Carfentanil, which is even more potent than fentanyl, was detected in 81 overdose deaths between June last year and the end of March of this year.

Other drugs found in tests include cocaine (42 per cent), methamphetamine/amphetamine (33 per cent) and heroin (27 per cent).

MICHAEL POTESTIO/KTW Work continues to stabilize an eroding hillside along Highway 1 in Cherry Creek as the namesake water course continues to rise with the warm weather.

Weekend heat expected to add to flood woes MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

An eroding bank along Highway 1 in Cherry Creek will take at least another week or two to fix as crews work to fill in the collapsed hillside near the Lazy Acres Ranch.

Riprap has already been placed along the edge of the creek as crews prepare to rebuild the bank.

The spring freshet has led to high flows in Cherry Creek, which undercut a section of the bottom of the embankment beneath Highway 1.

“This creek eroded everything there and it fell down in, so we’ve gone in and re-established the base of the hill and that gives it scour protection against the creek,” a Ministry of Transportation representative at the scene told KTW. “We’re building that up higher right now and then the next piece is refilling the whole bank with material.”

There are two chunks of earth next to each other that need to be refilled.

The left lane of the highway was closed earlier this week to deal with the issue and alternating traffic continues to be pushed through the stretch of road.

Cracks in the asphalt along the edge of the highway have developed, but crews have a monitor along the road to watch and ensure those cracks don’t get any bigger.

“It’s not getting any worse. It’s safe, but [the spotter’s] a precautionary thing because we have equipment working below, so he is watching. If there is any movement, we cease work operations immediately and then we’ll go in and assess the situation,” the ministry representative said.

A diversion of the creek upstream changed the flow of water and directed it toward the highway embankment last weekend, the ministry said.

Diversions were put in place by private landowners, which inadvertently redirected waters toward the highway embankment.

Ministry staff used rip rap (large reinforcing rock) to re-establish flows in the creek’s channel.

Crews have closed Beaton Road as the culverts were overwhelmed and the road has washed out.

On Rodeo Drive, crews are installing riprap to further armour the temporary bridge approaches that are in place from last year’s flooding. On Highway 1 east of Gardi Road, crews have been monitoring the flow at

this creek crossing and have equipment at the site to remove debris from the creek to prevent culverts from plugging.

Flooding situation elsewhere: • A swollen Campbell Creek in Barnhartvale has caused some localized flooding in that area, leading to the closure of Barnhartvale Road near Campbell Creek Road last weekend.

City of Kamloops staff continue to monitor water levels in the creek at Barnhartvale Road and the Blackwell Road Bridge.

“While the water level has risen slightly since Monday, the rate of rise has slowed compared to the weekend,” stated a municipal press release.

Barnhartvale Road remains closed, with traffic being detoured onto Blackwell Road as staff continue monitoring the water level to ensure public safety.

• Water levels remain high in Stump Lake, between Kamloops and Merritt on Highway 5A, with levels having risen in the lake about two inches per day recently, Area M director Randy Murray told KTW. “Of late, it’s started to drop off — 1.7, 1.5 inches — but it’s still rising, so we’re still taking action out there to help with sandbagging and preparing for some more water to come yet,” Murray said.

Stump Lake has no natural outflow and the provincial government denied the regional district’s request to drain the lake to relieve some of the pressure from rising water, Murray said.

He said there were concerns about what impact draining the lake would have downstream. There are about 16 homes around Stump Lake that could be affected and Murray said residents have been told to prepare for high water.

• After high flows that saw water and debris wash up on the highway near the Dairy Queen, Cache Creek is still running high, but water levels have dropped.

“Cache Creek is down and we’re keeping an eye on the Bonaparte River,” Cache Creek Mayor John Ranta said.

“The Dairy Queen has about a 12-foot bank between the normal height of Cache Creek and the drive-thru. That was full and overflowing the sidewalk on Highway 97 a week ago Friday and now it’s down at the bottom of the channel. There’s still an awful lot of water, but it’s not threatening to overflow the bank.”

The forecast for the weekend calls for temperatures to rise to near 30 C, which is expected to accelerate snow melt of a larger than average snow pack.

Calls to Hay, who was at the lake in the Shuswap, and MacGregor were not returned as of KTW’s press time. Hay was expected to address media on Friday morning.

Recchi opted not to comment.

It seems unlikely decisions of this magnitude were made so quickly, especially considering the majority owner’s words following another disappointing season in 2017-2018.

“We wanted to turn down the volume and get things analyzed properly and without any emotion,” said Gaglardi, whose Blazers fell shy of the 2018 playoffs.

— and the army of his ardent supporters, many of them aging seasonticket holders — was for him to ride off into the sunset with a Memorial Cup victory on home ice in 2020.

That dream is dead.

Blazers’ president Don Moores said Hay will stay on in a senior advisor to hockey operations role.

“We’re all Hayzer fans, right? Moores said. “He’s still got a lot to offer.”

MacGregor will hold the GM job until a replacement is found. He will join the Dallas Stars’ amateur scouting department. Gaglardi also owns the Stars.

“It’s disappointing,” said Needham, who was told his contract would not be renewed a few hours before the

press conference. “I truly believe in the direction that the team has been going with our young players and it’s disappointing I couldn’t be a part of it to see it through.”

Gaglardi thanked Recchi for 10 years of service and said Needham is invited to apply for the vacant head coaching position.

“My heart is here,” said Needham, who was not shocked to hear his contract would not be renewed. “I’m a Blazer.

I sent my son [former Blazers’ captain Matt Needham] here. I want this franchise to do well.”

The Blazers are bidding for the 2020 Memorial Cup. Ownership knew that if a coaching change was

George Abbott hopes the 108 recommendations in an independent report on last year’s wildfire and flood season will be a constructive road map to address the “new normal” in B.C. Abbott and Chief Maureen Chapman led

the 150-page report, which was recently delivered to Premier John Horgan. The report marks the conclusion of their extensive review.

“We do have, I think, a new normal to address,” Abbott said.

“Everything we have heard as part of this process would suggest that 2017 was not anomalous, it was not a one-off

that happened and will go away. This is clearly something that we have to be thinking about not only for 2018, but every year in the future,” Abbott said in a teleconference with reporters on Thursday.

Abbott said he hopes the recommendations will serve as a starting point for governments and communities.

direction we’re going to head.”

Gaglardi said a management and coaching team will likely be formed in the next four to eight weeks. The future of the current scouting staff will lie in the hands of the incoming GM, Gaglardi said.

“Our ownership group is not pleased with the large sample size of seasons we’ve put together here,” Gaglardi said. “It isn’t good enough. I can’t tell you what led to Don’s decision.

“Certainly, we’ve been contemplating changes and it came together pretty quickly.

“You’ll have to ask Don for the reasons behind his decision. His decision probably led to some bigger changes.”

going to be made, it had to be made this off-season, not in a Memorial Cup year.

“That was thought about,” Gaglardi said.

“Is this the year to make the change, to make all the changes? That was discussed among ownership.”

Hay is an old-school coach whose tough-love methods are not always agreeable to the modernday junior hockey player.

“It’s a concern,” Gaglardi said. “These kids are different kids.

I expect that we’ll see a younger group of managers and coaches coming to Kamloops this time around. That’s the trend.

“You’re seeing it in the NHL. If you haven’t seen it in junior, you’re going to see it. I think that’s the

Those recommendations include upgrades in technological tools to better understand flood patterns and whether or not the 500 kilometres of dikes in B.C. will withstand challenges in the future.

He said the report identified a growing gap between government expenditures for response and expenses for preventive measures, which need to be increased.

“The view that we have is we need to spend wisely on prevention in hopes that the amounts we spend on response down the line will be hopefully reduced,” Abbott said.

“Government always opens its wallet for response — they have to — we need to find ways to get timely and effective investments on the prevention side as well.”

Abbott said the need for partnerships was something they heard a lot of while conducting the report.

He said 160 fires sparked back on July 7, 2017, and was well beyond the capacity of the BC Wildfire Service to address in an immediate way. He said farmers, First Nations and others attempted to contain these blazes before firefighters were able to

attend. The report suggests the wildfire service build partnerships with these groups such as ranchers who have large irrigation systems, First Nations and loggers to maximize response in serious situations like the one last July.

“To be clear, most people should evacuate when there’s an evacuation order, without a doubt, unless you are able to contribute in some way to the fight against a dangerous wildfire,” Abbott said, noting those who choose to stay can be eyes and ears on the ground for BCWFS. Other recommendations include incorporating the knowledge of First Nations and other people who live on the land in response to fire and floods.

Abbott said the current flooding situation is evidence that 2017 wasn’t an anomaly and climate change is not about to go away.

“It’s vital that we up our game in a bunch of ways,” Abbott said.

Last year was the worst fire season on record with the largest area of land burned the most area of land on record. Flooding earlier in the year caused extensive damage around the Southern Interior.

Report shows major improvement in class sizes DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Research by the provincial government and distributed by the B.C. Teachers’ Federation shows a significant improvement in some class size and composition in the KamloopsThompson school district.’

The provincial teachers’ union studied the government’s annual summary of class size and composition of school districts from 2006 to 2018, looking at number of schools, total classes, classes with an education assistant, classes with more than 30 students and average class size.

It also examined classes with students who have an individual education plan (IEP) — usually associated with children who have special needs — through that time period.

The study showed 66 classes this year have seven or more students with an IEP, down from 199 in the 2016-2017 school year.

It is the secondhighest number of classes in the 12-year period, however; the lowest was in 2006, when there were 16

such classes.

The statistic made its first significant leap in 2012, when it went to 58 classes from 23 the previous year.

Sixty per cent of the 1,739 classes have one to three students with IEPs, the report states, an increase of almost nine per cent from 729 classes in 2016-2017.

The study showed there are 313 classes with no IEP students, a decrease from all previous years. In 2006, for example, there were 519 classes with no IEP students.

As for class size, the study showed only eight classes with more than 30 students.

In past years, the number of classes with more than 30 students has ranged from five to 33; many of those classes are academies in schools that are designed to exceed provincial limits because of their specialized nature.

The average kindergarten class is 18.5 students, down from last year’s 20.1 and fairly consistent with previous years.

In grades 1 to 3, the class size is the lowest it has been in a dozen years, the study shows, with 19.8 students.

Every other year, class size has ranged between 20 and 21.6

New look for Old Main Thompson Rivers University has allocated $5 million to revitalize classrooms in its Old Main Building.

The work will involve more than half the classrooms on the second floor as part of a project to address both first and second floors.

Improvements will go beyond new floors and paint and include classroom configuration, moving from rows of tables to other seating arrangements that encourage collaborative and active learning.

Each classroom will receive new furniture, improved lighting and electrical outlets. Where required, there will also be updated multimedia capabilities.

Soundproofing will also be improved, glass alcove entrances will be created to allow natural light into hallways and a common colour and material palette will be used on the two floors.

In doing this, the university anticipates adding two additional classrooms from the reconfiguration.

Completion is expected by March 2019. During the work, some classes will be moved to portable classrooms for the upcoming post-secondary school year.

students.

The average class size for grades 4 through 7 is also the lowest it has been in years, at 23.4 students.

In past years, it has ranged from 24.7 to 25.9 students.

The same decrease applies at the secondary level, with class sizes this school year averaging 22.2 students, the lowest in the

time period reviewed.

Past years saw it range from 22.5 to 24.9.

The number of classes offered this year also increased dramatically, a reflection of the increased enrolment the district is now experiencing, as well as new learning options being provided. This school year sees the school district with 1,739 classes;

last year, there were 1,416 classes and in 2006, there were 1,359 classes.

In a press release, BCTF media-relations officer Rich Overgaard noted the number of classes across B.C. grew this school year, increasing 6.2 per cent and topping 4,300 classes.

with the preceding year provincially, the number of classes with 30 or more students dropped by 45 per cent.

At the kindergarten level, the dip was 2.8 per cent, in grades one through seven, the decrease was 4.9 per cent and at the secondary level, the decline was 3.9 per cent.

BCTF president Glen Hansman credited the changes to the ruling by the Supreme Court of Canada in November 2016 restoring contract language on size and composition that existed in 2002, when the governing B.C. Liberals removed the language from its collective agreement with the union.

DIRECT TO SMELTER – PRECIOUS METALS RECYCLING ROADSHOW RETURNS TO KAMLOOPS

Ursa Major Gold, Silver & Coin returns to Kamloops May 17th and 18th . You can bring your gold, silver, coins and Canadian paper money to the North Shore Community Centre between 9am and 4pm each day. No appointment is required.

Barry Dick is a precious metals buyer and President of Ursa Major Gold, Silver & Coin which has held shows at the Brock Activity Centre in the past – please note the new location for these dates.

“Ursa Major has the unique advantage of dealing direct with a smelter” Barry Dick said Dick. “That President of Ursa Major allows us to cut out Gold, Silver & Coin one or even two middlemen. Ursa Major purchases gold and silver from other gold buyers, pawn shops, dentists, jewellers and jewellery makers as well as the general public.” In terms of the US dollar, gold and silver prices appear low but the weak Canadian dollar means prices are strong.

Ursa Major analyzes your gold, silver, coins and paper money while you watch, with the process explained to you in detail. Coins with numismatic value are graded and set aside from those with a ‘melt’ value. Silver items such as jewellery and flatware are analyzed for hallmark identification.

Items thought to contain gold will also be analyzed for hallmarks, and then confirmed using precise testing that is done while you watch. Then a cash offer is made and you decide to sell or not.

“If you decide to sell after hearing the quote, great, but it is also about information” says Dick.

“A lot of times people just need to know a ballpark of what things are worth; we don’t pressure anyone into selling”. Dick took out his first gold claim when he turned 16 in the 1970’s and has been involved with precious metals ever since. An ardent gold panner, he was a regular at the world championship gold panning competition with a personal best of 3rd place in 1984.

“Nearly half of the world’s annual gold harvest comes from recycled gold. Energy costs are about $500 to mine a new ounce of gold where recycled gold is about $10 per ounce. That prevents a lot of diesel from being burned.” Gold and silver purchased at the show and later melted goes back into the market without incurring that environmental cost.

Out of fashion jewelry, single earrings, broken chains, unloved jewelry, charm bracelets, dental gold, nuggets and fine gold are all accepted. “We can assess any coin ever made for collector or precious metal value, including world coins and ancient coins.” People are encouraged to bring in any and all coins for assessment.

Ursa Major also assesses and purchases Canadian and Dominion of Canada Paper Money.

They have extensive experience working with estates, executors, widows and widowers in a respectful and caring manner. No appointment necessary.

GETTING THE VOTE TO THE YOUTH

A

dding more people to the voter rolls in B.C. is a great idea.

The provincial government is seriously considering a proposal to pre-register youths for the voter rolls at age 16 and 17. When the turn 18, they’ll already be registered and ready to vote.

Young voters are by far the least inclined to cast a ballot — and that extends from the late teens up into the 20s.

Meanwhile, those flocking to the polls are disproportionately seniors and those in middle age.

That’s a serious problem for our democracy as we are losing out on the perspectives of the young.

It would be nice if we could get this program implemented soon, before the Oct. 20 municipal elections.

If the crowd at the provincial and federal polls skews old, those voting for municipal politicians are even more likely to have a few grey hairs.

Municipal politics is often seen as the domain of the homeowner and the local business person.

But the decisions of municipal governments impact people at every stage of life — in terms of jobs, roads, parking, rental housing, parks and rec facilities.

Kamloops has seen some young people get involved through advocacy and volunteering over the past decades and they’ve made a real impact – just cast an eye over at the kids in Jeremy Reid’s classes at Westsyde secondary, who succeeded in having Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Peter Milobar present a vote-atage-16 petition in the legislature.

If more young people register to vote in this coming election, they can make their voices heard on the issues that matter to them.

Sustainability at SD73

E

nsure the sustainable uses of our resources.

Those are seven words that have a very big impact on how School District 73 operates.

It’s the sixth pillar in our long-term strategic plan and it affects every department, program and person in the district.

We focus on sustainability during the budget process.

When a program or service is introduced in the district, we need to make sure the funds are there to maintain that program for more than one year.

It doesn’t make sense to start a program only to discontinue it because of a lack of funds.

We align our spending with the priorities identified with our stakeholders to ensure new and continued spending is in the areas that will move us forward. This helps prevent wasteful spending on projects or programs that aren’t in the best interest of our students.

We promote and incorporate sustainable environmental practices in all of our facilities.

We have installed energyefficient lighting in our schools and support buildings and have upgraded our irrigation systems.

We have also been upgrading the HVAC and boiler systems.

In the process, we have reduced our electricity, natural gas and propane consumption substantially, decreased our water usage, reduced our greenhousegas emissions and saved more

than $9 million since 2004.

We encourage composting programs in schools and district buildings, every classroom recycles and many schools, including Brock middle and Clearwater secondary, have gardens and food-sustainability classes.

We keep a close eye on our facilities and infrastructure to ensure they are being used sustainably.

An example is the choice of adding a portable or a bus route.

A portable is more expensive than buying a bus, but within two years, the savings are wiped out by the wages and fuel costs needed to operate the bus.

More greenhouse gases are generated. Children riding the bus walk less and lose out on after-school activities such as sports teams.

Changing demographics mean we review our school catchments regularly and shift them as neighbourhoods change.

We work with our municipal partners to stay abreast of where new developments are being built so we can anticipate where we may need additional space.

Neighbourhoods mature and the numbers of students drop, leaving schools with extra space.

When the neighbourhood transitions back to younger families, schools fill up again.

According to Statistics Canada, when most of our schools were built in the 1960s, the average household had five or more people.

Today, those homes have an average of 2.5 people.

Our focus on sustainability means every decision we make is made through the lens of maintaining or improving the levels of programing and services we have without compromising our ability to keep those programs and services in the future.

It means we consider the environmental impact of adding buses versus students walking and the type of lighting we install.

We keep a close watch on our buildings to make sure they are being used in a manner that best benefits our students and our community.

Sustainability isn’t just a catchword, it’s what we do.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

TRANS MOUNTAIN PIPELINE VITAL TO CITY

Editor: Kamloops is the transportation hub of mainland B.C., with both railroads meeting here, the nation’s major highways cutting through the city and the main pipeline to the Pacific Ocean travelling across the land.

Significantly, the Kinder Morgan line only has two depots — one in Kamloops and one in Burnaby.

ANOTHER AWESOME BOOGIE Editor: Thanks to Jo Berry and the RunClub team for putting on another great Boogie The Bridge event.

Jo makes the kids feel so important and strong each year and the medal for everyone is a wonderful touch.

All the handouts, food, music and positive attitude is so refreshing.

Thank you for this great event each year.

Kim King Kamloops

The Kamloops depot is the main site for the distribution of all vehicle gasoline to the B.C. Mainland outside of the Lower Mainland.

It is a huge depot and has enormous storage tanks, with many large transport trucks loading every day to serve the various service stations outside the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island.

The pipeline depot in Kamloops is a real and symbolic indicator of Kamloops’ importance to communication and transportation in the province.

It is strange that our city council, our MLAs and our MP — and much of our local media — seem uninformed or are not interested in the topic.

This is wrong.

We need these people and

groups to get on board and let all of B.C and Canada know that Kamloops has never had a major problem with the pipeline.

As a depot for this major pipeline, Kamloops has an obligation to let B.C. and Canada know we want the pipeline for the good of our city and the nation.

John Hart Kamloops

POST DENTAL PAYMENT SCHEDULES Editor: I was wondering why I see so many people on provincial disability income and other levels of social assistance with bad teeth.

After all, our population of people on assistance have medical and dental care paid for, right?

Actually, no.

An acquaintance of mine on

disability went to a dentist in Kamloops.

At the end of his appointment, he received an invoice for $128.

Being broke and without any sort of funds to pay the bill, the dentist office waived the amount one time only.

Obviously, my friend was embarrassed by all of this.

Nor was there an indication of the difference between payment schedules.

Kamloops dentists need to post this either in a pamphlet, at reception or in a community publication, distributed where people who are affected in this way congregate.

DISPARITY IN INSURANCE RATES SHOCKING Editor: How competitive is auto insurance in British Columbia?

I have two experiences that reflect poorly on the rates here.

In 1994, I moved to Alberta from B.C and was able to insure two vehicles in Alberta for the price of one vehicle in B.C. Having just returned to B.C., I insured a 2011 pickup truck with

more than 14 years of insurance company-verified accident-free driving.

In Alberta, I paid $925 per year; in B.C., my new rate is $1,755 per year for virtually identical coverage.

Is it just me or has B.C. been holding its residents hostage too long and still losing money?

Neskonlith chief speaks to KM shareholders in Texas

MONDAY • PC Deli Sliced Cheese 2 for $5 limited 2 WEDNESDAY • PC ® Extra Meaty Dog Food $ 1299 each limited 2

CANADIAN PRESS

Kinder Morgan’s shareholders have asked the company for more disclosure on its sustainability after a presentation on Wednesday by a First Nations chief from the Kamloops area.

Neskonlith First Nations Chief Judy Wilson said she told the company’s annual general meeting in Houston that environmental, social and governance issues can pose significant risks to business and without proper disclosure, shareholders won’t know if they are vulnerable.

Wilson said she also explained the legal risks if Kinder Morgan proceeds with its Trans Mountain pipeline expansion on Indigenous land without consent from First Nations.

“We do not believe the risks of the project have been accurately evaluated nor fully disclosed and we wanted to point that out to the shareholders,’’ Wilson told a news conference after the meeting.

Wilson put forward a resolution proposing shareholders ask Kinder Morgan to issue an annual sustainability report describing the company’s analysis of short- and long-term risks, along with plans for mitigating them.

Another resolution from a U.S. asset management company proposed that Kinder Morgan create a report looking at how commitments various countries have made under the Paris climate change agreement will affect the pipeline builder’s portfolio in the long term.

A Kinder Morgan spokesman said both resolutions passed, but noted neither is binding.

Executive chairman Rich Kinder said in a statement the board will “carefully consider the proposals and the information contained in the supporting statements in determining what actions to take with respect to them.’’

Because the resolutions are nonbinding, shareholders should follow up to show the company that they are watching and expect their wishes to be expressed, said Lisa Lindsley with

advocacy group SumOfUs. Kinder Morgan could have foreseen issues with its Trans Mountain pipeline expansion if the company had previously committed to putting out sustainability reports, she added.

“Billions of dollars of shareholder value would have been saved if Kinder Morgan had done a better job of anticipating, assessing and mitigating the sustainability risks to its business,’’ Lindsley said.

In 2016, Ottawa approved plans to triple the capacity of the existing Trans Mountain pipeline between Edmonton and Burnaby.

But the $7.4-billion project has faced significant opposition and legal challenges from environmentalists, First Nations and B.C.’s NDP government.

Kinder Morgan suspended all nonessential spending on the expansion earlier this year, saying ongoing opposition in B.C. and the threat of legal delays was making investors wary of proceeding with the project.

The company set May 31 as the dead-

line for the federal and provincial governments to reach an agreement that would allow the expansion to go ahead.

Wilson said the fact shareholders voted for the sustainability report proposal shows they want the company to be more socially and environmentally responsible, but that won’t stop opposition to the Trans Mountain expansion because it threatens Indigenous culture, spirituality, identity and way of life.

“That means fundamentally more to us than anything that they could offer us,’” she said. “This means that there will be further delay and risk and uncertainty for the overall project. And we wanted to carry that message to the shareholders today.’’

As the general meeting took place, protests against the expansion project continued in Burnaby, with opponents blocking access to the company’s marine terminal on land and in the water.

Valleyview will see building rise JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

A five-storey apartment building will be built in Valleyview.

Kamloops council gave Agave Holdings Inc. the green light on Tuesday night to construct the 40-unit rental building at 155 Oriole Rd. The vacant Valleyview Buffet restaurant will be demolished to make way for the building, which will include 12 two-bedroom, four onebedroom and 24 bachelor units.

Valleyview residents attended the public hearing and urged council to deny variances for the development based on parking and its height, which they said would restrict views and change the neighbourhood’s character.

One of the project’s architects also attended the hearing and said the developer opted to build up, rather than out, which resulted in more space between neighbours.

“This is a challenging site for sure,” Neil Brunn said.

Staff supported the proposal, noting it is on a transit route and within walking or cycling distance to schools and shopping.

Councillors Ray Dhaliwal, Tina Lange, Donovan Cavers, Kathy Sinclair and Deputy Mayor Dieter Dudy voted in favour of approving variances to allow the development.

Mayor Ken Christian and Coun.

Pat Wallace were absent and Coun.

Arjun Singh excused himself due to conflict of interest as he is in the apartment-rental business.

Coun. Denis Walsh was opposed.

“It’s in the right location,” he said.

“But I think it’s excessive density.”

Variances passed included reducing required parking spaces by two stalls, extending the building’s height allowance by four metres and cash-in-lieu for transit passes.

The building was designed as a five-storey structure to mitigate impacts of the 200-year flood plain.

Council gives nod to Dallas development JESSICA WALLACE

Eleven new residential lots will open up near Dallas elementary after Kamloops council on Tuesday approved rezoning for a new subdivision in the area.

The 9,700-squaremetre property at 201 Harper Rd. backs onto the Trans-Canada Highway. Under previous zoning, a maximum of four lots could be built on the property.

Staff recommended approving the application, noting it is consistent with the city’s official community plan to encourage infill and walkable neighbourhoods.

Some Dallas residents, however, attended the public hearing to voice concerns about safety issues related to parking congestion at the elementary school.

“My biggest concern is safety for kids,” Katie Neustater said.

of a growing community with infrastructure needs — from school space to sidewalks and a firehall.

Councillors Denis Walsh and Kathy Sinclair noted lack of transportation management posed problems.

“I think it’s excessive,” Walsh said. “Sure, we want density, but we want density doing it right.”

Coun. Dieter Dudy, chairing the hearing as deputy mayor in Mayor Ken Christian’s absence — said the subdivision initially seemed excessive, but his experience on the official community planning committee made him revisit his perception.

“We need to take advantage of the land that is available to us and use it by its best possible needs,” he said.

Coun. Donovan Cavers noted residents should take up parking issues with the school district.

Coun. Tina Lange said parking often becomes a point of contention at public hearings and noted kids should be walking to school.

“I see a lot of the parking problems being self-imposed by the people who live there,” Lange said.

Sinclair said the community needs the proper underpinnings.

“I don’t think we can shame parents for not walking their kids to school when there’s no sidewalk,” she said.

Councillors Dudy, Cavers, Lange and Ray Dhaliwal voted in favour of the rezoning application, while Walsh, Sinclair and Arjun Singh were opposed.

Coun. Pat Wallace was absent.

Pipeline proponents rally MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

No One Knows Ponds Better Than We Do!

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

It all started with the singing of O Canada.

About 130 people who want to see Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline expansion proceed were in Riverside Park on Wednesday for a pro-pipeline rally, many carrying signs with phrases such as “Trans Mountain has operated since 1953 without catastrophe,” “Say yes to the pipeline” and “Canada supports KM.” “We need to get this built,” said rally participant Brett Whitworth of Vernon.

A welder by trade, Whitworth has a lot riding on the project as a foreman for Somerville, a pending contractor for a section of the pipeline to be built near Chilliwack.

“We’re more likely to be struck by lightning than an oil spill,” said pro-pipeline attendee Terry Jones, who drove from Coldstream for the rally.

She said she supports the pipeline because it was approved with the National Energy Board’s 157 conditions and she is satisfied with the company’s ocean-protection plan.

A few speakers addressed the crowd, including Kamloops Coun. Ray Dhaliwal, Cache Creek Mayor and Thompson-Nicola Regional District chair John Ranta, Kamloops Chamber of Commerce president Joshua Knaak and former Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Kevin Krueger.

Kinder Morgan stopped nonessential spending on its $7.4-billion pipeline expansion last month due to opposition from the

B.C. government, and is consulting stakeholders until May 31 in an effort to reach an agreement that will see the project proceed.

If an agreement isn’t reached in the next few weeks, the company has said “it is difficult to conceive of any scenario in which we would proceed with the project.”

“It should be under construction by now,” Krueger said, noting the current Trans Mountain pipeline is “full.”

“It is absolutely outrageous that our provincial government is behaving this way, outside of its jurisdiction, beyond its authority.”

Ranta said Kinder Morgan would provide jobs from the pipeline that would “pay real money” and support local businesses and families.

“You know what I’ve learned in 28 years as mayor of Cache Creek?

The way to sustain a small community in this province is to have

jobs for people that live in your community,” Ranta said to a chorus of cheers.

The TNRD signed a benefit agreement that would see Kinder Morgan make an $845,000 contribution toward funding various community enhancements.

Knaak noted the conversation has become polarizing at times in Kamloops.

“I would just challenge every person that’s here today to recognize that one can be a strong supporter of the environment and also a strong supporter of a pipeline,” Knaak said.

He asked the crowd to find someone who disagrees with them on the pipeline and take the time to understand their perspective.

The rally was organized by two groups that advocate for the oil and gas industry in Canada — Rally 4 Resources and Canada Action.

Arrest comes years after child-porn charges sworn

Graham A. Kay BA, MSW, LLB

Carolyn Neville Legal Assistant

Nearly four years after charges were laid against him, a man facing multiple allegations involving child pornography stemming from an incident in Kamloops has been arrested.

The arrest was made in Alberta last week.

The accused, whose identity is protected by a court-ordered ban on publication, is in the process of being transported by deputy sheriffs

to Kamloops for a bail hearing.

The man is facing charges of making or publishing child pornography and transmitting or distributing child pornography.

The charges were laid in June 2014. According to court documents, the allegations stem from an incident in Kamloops on Jan. 6 of that year.

The man is expected to appear in Kamloops provincial court on Tuesday for a bail hearing.

Arrest near CN tracks Kamloops Mounties arrested a man in possession of a stolen truck after a brief chase that saw the suspect apprehended on foot.

Police received numerous reports on Wednesday morning about an older-model Chevrolet pickup truck being driven erratically on Highway 5 North near the Halston Connector.

The truck did not have a licence plate and at one point struck the median, flattening two of its tires.

The driver then pulled over and

stopped on the highway near the Tournament Capital Ranch in Rayleigh.

“A witness saw the driver get out of the vehicle, grab a bicycle from the back of the pickup and ride down a nearby road towards the river,” RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said in a press release.

Police arrived on scene and found the suspect on the bike.

When an officer attempted to arrest the man, he jumped off his bike and ran through the woods.

Officers gave chase

and were able to arrest the suspect near the railroad tracks.

The 31-year-old male from Stoney Creek, near Vanderhoof, is known to police and is being held in custody before appearing before a judge.

The 1990 Chevrolet pickup was found to have been stolen from the Lower Mainland on May 6.

Shelkie said the investigation will be forwarded to the BC Prosecution Service, which will determine what charges the man will face.

Arson suspect nabbed One arrest has been made in connection with a pair of suspicious fires earlier this week, and investigators are working to see if the same suspect could be linked to a third blaze.

Two garbage cans were lit on fire late Monday and early Tuesday morning, one at the Thompson Rivers University bus loop and the other on Regent Crescent in Aberdeen.

“Through neighbourhood inquiries,

Kamloops RCMP were able to identify a suspect,” Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said.

A 24-year-old male was located and arrested without incident.

Shelkie said police obtained security camera footage of the suspect from a residence on Regent Crescent that is believed to match the description given to police by eyewitnesses.

Police are working to determine whether the same man could be tied

to another suspicious fire around the same time as the garbage can blazes.

In that case, a shed at a Monmouth Drive residence was lit on fire.

Shelkie said the suspect, who is known to police, was released with a first court date of July 9.

Charges have not yet been laid.

The suspect’s name has not been made public.

Meet Mounties at TCC It’s Police Week and Kamloops Mounties are celebrating this Saturday with displays and demonstrations.

Festivities will take place at the Tournament Capital Centre between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., when participants can learn about police volunteer programs including Block Watch and Crime Prevention.

Bikes can also be registered for the 529 Garage app, which helps recover them if stolen.

Children will also be provided with free stickers and tattoos.

Mobile polls remain question mark in election Voters will go to the polls in the Oct. 20 civic election. Whether mobile polls will return to Royal Inland Hospital and care homes remains to be seen.

KTW FILE PHOTO

JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Were the city’s ill and elderly fairly represented in the 2017 byelection and could it have impacted the results?

More than 520 people voted at Royal Inland Hospital and at residential-care homes during the 2014 general election in Kamloops.

Those polling stations were eliminated three years later in the byelection to reduce costs. Patients and care home residents were expected to mail in a ballot or visit a polling station — a challenge if one is confined to a hospital bed or has other mobility issues.

“A lot of them follow politics, but they don’t necessarily remember what day of the week it is,” Chartwell Retirement Residences general manager Toni Corrigan told KTW. “It’s not fair.”

Election statistics that went before city council earlier this week, along with information from care home management, raise questions about participation among those two groups and impacts from their absences.

Chief among those questions: Where did those 520 people go in

2017? Did they find an alternative way to vote? Were they unable to vote? Were they simply among the majority of Kamloops residents who don’t bother with municipal politics (turnout in 2017 was 21 per cent)? Did some of them die?

Among alternative voting methods recommended by election officials, only 34 people sent in a ballot by mail in 2017.

It is not clear how many of those — if any — were from the hospital

or care homes because that number represents mail ballot voting for the entire city.

The option is available to Kamloops voters with a physical disability, illness or injury and anyone expected to be absent on advance and general voting days.

Even assuming all 34 people who sent in a mail-in ballot in 2017 were from care homes and the hospital, it leaves some 485 voters unaccounted for, posing further

questions about whether those two groups made it to the polls.

Numbers provided to council don’t tell the picture, but Corrigan draws a direct line from lack of participation by seniors at Chartwell Retirement Residences in the 2017 municipal byelection to lack of a mobile polling station.

Among a demographic “who like to vote,” she compared more than 70 per cent participation among about 100 residents during the 2017

provincial election (which offered mobile polling) to 20 per cent participation during the byelection (which didn’t offer mobile polling).

“Because they had a polling station here,” Corrigan said.

“We literally knew what day, what time they were coming, how long they were going to be here for, so we could advertise it to them and they were pre-registered.

“They just had to show up and their name was checked off on a list by a pollster person and they were done. It was fast.

“And it wasn’t like they were set up here all day. We had, I think, an hour or an hour-and-a-half.”

Stephanie Nichols, the city’s deputy chief election officer, told KTW information was provided to care homes in 2017 advising mobile polls would not happen that year.

In addition to mail-in ballots, Nichols said care homes could take residents to the polls by bus.

However, Corrigan said residents with severe medical issues or in a wheelchair can’t hop aboard.

“If they couldn’t either go through HandyDart, a family member or us, there was no option for them to vote,” she said.

As for mail-in ballots, Corrigan had never heard of them.

This year, elections staff intended to provide information sessions, to which care home administration would be invited, to explain the mail-in process.

That educational component was not offered in 2017.

Furthermore, mail-in ballots are required to be sent in before general election day, so people who wind up in the hospital that day may not be able to vote.

“That’s the only situation that likely wouldn’t work,” Nichols said.

“The only possibility there would be that if you were able to get in a vehicle, you could go to a voting location and you don’t have to go inside. We would do curbside voting. We would bring the process out to you in the vehicle.”

Responsibility has been placed squarely on care homes and caregivers to help the city’s vulnerable exercise their democratic right.

“Our priority here is the care of the residents,” Corrigan said. “Not conducting elections.”

COUNCIL TAKES ISSUE Kamloops council took issue with axing care home polling sta-

tions on Tuesday, when it got a look at where residents will have an opportunity to cast a ballot for the 2018 general civic election this October.

Coun. Pat Wallace made a motion requesting staff look at including mobile polling stations once again at residential care homes this fall.

“For us to limit the opportunity for people to vote is pretty disappointing,” she said.

In 2014, 361 people cast a ballot via mobile polls at a dozen care homes, which came at a cost of $4,500, or $12.43 per vote. In addition, 162 people voted at Royal Inland Hospital during the 2014 general election. Nichols told KTW elections staff visited various floors on general election day. She could not provide specific costs, but that service was also axed in 2017.

Wallace said cheaper isn’t always better and noted the expense only usually comes along every four years.

Councillors Arjun Singh and Kathy Sinclair echoed Wallace’s sentiment.

“We’ve always had mobile polling as far as I’m aware,” Singh said.

“I would just recommend that stays the same. People are losing a service we were providing before.”

Sinclair noted a special voting opportunity at Thompson Rivers University has remained. That location saw 280 voters in 2014.

The decision to keep the station was partly to engage a demographic that doesn’t vote or hasn’t voted in the past, Nichols told council.

“We’re not discouraging it [voter turnout] at all,” she said.

The motion passed, with councillors Wallace, Singh, Sinclair, Dieter Dudy and Ray Dhaliwal voting in favour and councillors Donovan Cavers, Tina Lange, Denis Walsh and Mayor Ken Christian opposed.

Cavers encouraged election captains at care homes to get the mail-in number up. Lange argued mail-in voting would be more convenient for people with mobility issues or who aren’t well.

Christian said mobile polling stations pose challenges in defining which locations to include.

“You would have a real who’s in and who’s out kind of philosophy,” he said.

“And my sense of the report was that they were going to offer those administrators of all of the facilities the opportunity to come to get on an equal footing the information to provide their residents with access to the democratic process, which is fundamental and I agree with that.”

CLOSE ELECTION RESULTS It is not likely 520 votes would have made a difference in the mayoral race — Christian swept by thousands of votes with 64 per cent of the share — but the council race in 2017 was tight.

The margin between the two councillors who were elected (Kathy Sinclair and Ray Dhaliwal) and the third place finisher (Kevin Krueger) was less than 400 votes.

Sinclair received 3,421 votes; Dhaliwal received 3,292 and Krueger received 3,042.

Kamloops council approved has approved zoning that will establish where recreational marijuana can be sold in Kamloops when it becomes legal later this year.

Following a lengthy public hearing at Sandman Centre on Tuesday night, council approved zoning that will see cannabis stores located in the same zones as liquor stores (excluding C-8 neighbourhood pub zoning), with a 100-metre buffer between stores and a 150metre buffer from schools.

While staff initially recommended a 150-metre buffer between stores to avoid clustering, Coun. Denis Walsh suggested an amendment — which council supported — to decrease the buffer to 100 metres.

Walsh called the original distance too restrictive.

“We need to have adequate supply of retail cannabis dispensaries or we just drive people to the black market again,” he said.

“The whole point of them legalizing it is to get rid of the black, underground market. That comes down to issues of safety and access.”

City of Kamloops development director Marvin Kwiatkowski said council’s decision could result in as much as a 30 per cent bump in the number of marijuana stores in the city from what was initially proposed by staff.

The city previously estimated between 15 and 20 such stores could operate under rules with the 150metre buffer zone.

LOCAL NEWS Green Bike Lanes Come to Kamloops!

Green paint will be appearing on Hugh Allan Drive, between Versatile Drive and Pacific Way, and the intersection of Highland Road and Valleyview Drive in May. Green paint increases the visibility of the cycling facility, promotes all users to use extra caution at intersections, and reminds drivers to slow down and watch for cyclists.

Drivers will continue in their lanes as normal and follow regular traffic rules. Motorists are not permitted to cross over solid bike lanes unless they are turning into or out of intersecting roadways, laneways, driveways, or parking spots.

Singh wants input on Barnhartvale biosolids Councillor wants residents to be confident in outcome JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Amid growing concern from Barnhartvale residents, a Kamloops city councillor wants the public to be consulted before biosolids are applied on land.

“We have to make sure people have as much confidence in it as possible,” Coun. Arjun Singh told KTW. On Tuesday, Singh made a notice of motion that will be debated at the May 15 city council meeting.

The motion proposes the city include two requirements in biosolids land application requests for proposals: public consultation and qualified testing by a third party.

“Number one, we have to engage with them before we’re actually going into an area or someone is going into an area to apply biosolids,” Singh said.

“Our contract that we have,

bring your loved ones to Canada!

Whether it is your spouse, parents or children, we can help you reunite with your family.

with whoever does it for the city, should incorporate that.”

Biosolids are treated sewage sludge. The city produces about 12,500 tonnes of biosolids each year and current practice is for the product to be applied on ranch land in the city and Thompson-Nicola Regional District.

The city is in the midst of long-term planning to manage biosolids. A biosolids management stakeholder committee — which is composed of city staff, councillors and representatives from Interior Health, the TNRD and other organizations — is looking at a wide range of options. The group met for the first time last week and will meet again before the end of the month.

In the short term, Singh noted concerns raised by Barnhartvale residents who live close to the Campbell Ranch application site. A group of about 20 residents dubbed

Neighbours Against Sludge recently formed, calling for a stop to biosolids being dumped in the area due to the smell and unknown impacts on the watershed and food supply.

Singh said applying biosolids on land has been happening for a century.

He said biosolids may be getting a bad reputation, but he is also open to the notion it may no longer be best practice.

“But right now, it’s the only game we have,” Singh said. “It’s the only practice we have to actually productively use or dispose of our byproduct from our sewage-treatment plant.”

In addition, Singh said testing and oversight “is not tight enough.

“Right now, a company could actually have someone on their own staff, a qualified professional who does the testing, but they’re still beholden to the company that signs their paycheque,” he said.

Micah Strecheniuk (left) remembers well the early days of her former job, working as a lifeguard for the City of Kamloops at the McDonald Park pool on the North Shore.

They’re good memories for the longtime city employee, who is now working as a human-resources advisor.

The front counter at the outdoor pool had a bell customers would ring to get the attention of the aquatic staff.

“Definitely having Secwepemc representation at the table regarding the name is essential to choosing appropriately.

PROVINCIAL NEWS INTERIOR

Vernon mom found not guilty of assaulting eight-year-old son CANADIAN PRESS

VERNON — A mother accused of assaulting her eight-year-old son has been found not guilty by a B.C. provincial court judge who ruled she was acting in self-defence.

The court heard that the boy has behaviour patterns that make him difficult to parent and had regular tantrums.

When his mother refused to buy him a toy, the court heard the boy acted out, swearing at her, calling her names and kicking her several times on the leg.

The mother testified she grabbed the boy as she’d been taught by counsellors and then fell to the ground where she straddled him while holding him down.

The boy testified his mother tripped him, then he hit his head on a power pole and when he fell to the ground she pushed his face into dog feces.

But Judge Richard Hewson said

there wasn’t any corroborating evidence of the boy’s testimony and found the woman not guilty, saying the degree of force might be reasonable while she defended herself from harm.

“Wrestling the child to the ground, causing scrapes and bruises, would not have been proportional had [the boy] simply thrown a tantrum, without kicking his mother,’’ he said in the ruling issued last month.

“However, the law of assault does not make an exception requiring parents to tolerate assaults by their children.’’

The judge said he did not believe taking a child to the ground, resulting in bruises and scratches, is a reasonable way to correct behaviour.

“The act of physically restraining a child by hugging him is an act animated by a concern for the child’s safety. In contrast, the act of wrestling the child to the ground is an act animated by anger and frustration.’’

Police probe widens to Okanagan in shooting SURREY — Police are examining possible links between two violent incidents in the Okanagan less than 24 hours before a deadly shooting involving police Tuesday on Vancouver Island.

Sgt. Janelle Shoihet said a preliminary investigation has uncovered possible ties between a shooting that severely injured a man in Vernon and a carjacking in Penticton that injured a separate victim and ended with the theft of his vehicle.

The Vernon shooting happened at around noon on Monday and Shoihet said a suspect was seen leaving the area in a 1996 grey Ford Crown Victoria.

Several hours later, the RCMP in Penticton were alerted to a man allegedly carrying a gun and matching the description of the suspect in Vernon, followed just minutes afterwards by a call about the carjacking

and the theft of a Pontiac Vibe.

The suspect escaped and the RCMP says in a news release the Pontiac was traced to a B.C. ferry arriving in Nanaimo on Tuesday morning, which was intercepted by police as it left the vessel.

An unnamed driver was killed Tuesday when shots were fired at the ferry terminal in Nanaimo, which is now being investigated by the province’s police watchdog.

“Investigators are actively working to either confirm or eliminate information in order to conclusively determine if the various incidents are connected, if they are connected to a single individual, or if others are involved,’’ the RCMP said in the release.

Police also want to locate the Ford Crown Victoria and Shoihet says they are appealing for witnesses in the Okanagan.

Canadian Tire’s Helly Hansen deal could be start of global expansion Retail chain acquired outdoor clothing and gear manufacturer for $985M

ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALEKSANDRA SAGAN

CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Canadian Tire Corp. views its $985-million acquisition of Norwegian outdoor clothing and gear maker Helly Hansen as a “major step forward’’ to diversify its offerings at home and launch new opportunities in international markets.

“This is a brand that we truly believe has a lot of runway ahead of it internationally,’’ CEO Stephen Wetmore said in an interview.

The Toronto-based retailer has long been one of Helly Hansen’s biggest customers and the deal announced Thursday will bolster a number of its product categories, including camping, hunting and fishing, at both Canadian Tire department stores and its Mark’s clothing chain, he said.

WestJet pilots have committed to not disrupting passenger travel plans over the Victoria Day long weekend despite voting overwhelmingly to give its union a strike mandate.

The Air Line Pilots Association said its WestJet

WASHINGTON — President Donald World News Trump will meet with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un in Singapore on June 12, Trump announced Thursday, hours after suggesting that the release of three Americans held in the North heralded a potential breakthrough toward denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula.

“We will both try to make it a very special moment for World Peace!’’ Trump said in a tweet.

With the final details in place, Trump and Kim will meet in the first North Korea-U.S. summit talks since the end of the Korean War in 1953.

Kim has suspended nuclear and missile tests and put his nuclear program up for negotiation, but questions remain about how serious his offer is and what disarmament steps he would willing to take.

BRIEFS

KTW FILE PHOTO Canadian Tire’s CEO said the acquisition of Helly Hansen could be a building block of future growth.

Helly Hansen, which was founded in Moss, Norway, in 1877 and is now sold in more than 40 countries around the world, has “successfully and profitably entered many

markets’’ globally with its outdoor adventure, sailing, skiing and casual industrial brand, Wetmore said in an earlier conference call with financial analysts.

“This, too, will serve as a foundation for us to build upon in future years with existing or new owned brands,’’ Wetmore said during the call.

WestJet pilots vote in favour of strike action CANADIAN PRESS

Trump, Kim to meet June 12 in Singapore

members voted 91 per cent in favour of strike action. About 95 per cent of WestJet’s 1,500 pilots and WestJet Encore’s 500 pilots voted.

“The goal is — and always has been — to secure a fair collective agreement that brings stability to the airline, and not to strike,’’ stated Capt.

Rob McFadyen, chairman of

the WestJet association’s master executive council.

“The strong results of our strike vote and the excellent turnout at our informational picketing event earlier this week should provide management the added incentive it needs to bring serious proposals to the bargaining table that address our concerns.’’

The result was announced with eight days remaining in the 21-day cooling-off period after which the union can launch a strike or the airline can lock out employees. Pilots will be in a legal position to commence job action on May 19.

Air Canada is attempting to capitalize by indicating that it is ready to pick up the slack.

At least 44 dead after Kenyan dam bursts NAIROBI, Kenya — Villagers said it started with a loud rumble, then houses collapsed one by one under an approaching wall of water.

“We took our children and rushed to higher ground,’’ farmer Joseph Maina told Associated Press. Their home was submerged and their crops were washed away but unlike dozens of others, they survived.

At least 44 were dead and another 40 were missing Thursday after a dam swollen by weeks of seasonal rains burst in Kenya’s Rift Valley, sweeping away hundreds of homes and sending people fleeing, officials said.

At least 20 of the dead were children.

“Many people are missing. It is a disaster,’’ said Rongai town police chief Joseph Kioko.

The bursting of the Patel Dam in Solai, Nakuru County, on Wednesday night was the deadliest single incident yet in the seasonal rains that have killed more than 170 Kenyans since March.

WATCH Rouhani probably only has a few weeks to get public commitments to continue trading with Iran from the other parties to the deal — and that will require them to defy the United States.

Trump’s declaration only requires American banks and companies to stop trading with Iran within 180 days, but the U.S. may also apply so-called secondary sanctions against foreign companies that trade with Iran.

These secondary sanctions may actually be illegal under international law, but that has not stopped the U.S. in the past (Cuba, Venezuela, etc.) and it won’t do so now.

You can count on Russia and China to push back if the U.S. blackballs their companies for trading with Iran, but will the British, French and German governments also do so?

Even if it risks splitting the Western alliance?

Probably not, in which case the deal really will be dead.

Rouhani would remain in office for the remainder of his term, but the hardliners would be in charge.

That doesn’t mean Iran will start working on nuclear weapons right away, however, because it can’t.

In obedience to the deal, it has destroyed the core of a reactor that could have produced weapons-grade plutonium, placed two-thirds of its centrifuges (for enriching uranium) under international monitoring and eliminated 97 per cent of its stockpile of enriched uranium.

It would take a long time to get started again.

The immediate impact is more likely to be seen in a tougher approach in Syria, where Iranian troops (sent to help the government side in the civil war) are bombed by the Israelis practically every week.

So far, Iran has not responded to these attacks in any way, but it could start by shooting a couple of those Israeli planes down.

Then the fat would be in the fire.

For several years now, the main foreign policy goal of America’s two main allies in the Middle East — Israel and Syria — has been to draw the United States into a war with Iran.

Therefore, they have to provide the hawks in the Trump administration with a plausible pretext for starting the war. A couple of downed Israeli planes would do nicely.

If it were just an attack on Iran by the U.S., Israel and Saudi Arabia, it would not be of earthshattering importance. They would probably lose a lot of planes since Iran now has good air defences, but none of them could or would do a ground invasion.

Iran is a country the size of Alaska, two-thirds of it mountain or desert.

It has 80-million people, lots of industry and good science and technology. Invading Iran would make the Vietnam War look like a tea party.

Any ground fighting between Iran and its enemies would be more likely to happen in the countries between them: Syria and Iraq.

You could be forgiven for thinking both Iraq and Syria deserve a break from war by now, but they may not get it.

And the most worrisome thing is that there are both Russian and American troops on the ground in these countries.

“For my business I really like that Kamloops This Week has publications like “Hot Night in The City” and “Road To Adventure” so I can target my demographic and showcase my business in a unique way.”

— Howie Goodman-First Place Detail

f U.S. President Donald Trump’s re-imposition of American sanctions against Iran does not cause Iran President Hassan Rouhani’s government to buckle at once (which is almost unimaginable), there is nothing else he can do short of going to war with the country.

And he couldn’t even win that war.

Iran is entirely within its rights in condemning Trump’s action.

All the other signatories to the deal that hobbled Iran’s nuclear program — Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China — agree that Tehran is in full compliance with its terms, as do the United Nations, the International Atomic Energy Agency and U.S. Secretary of Defence Jim Mattis.

All of Trump’s complaints about the deal are about things it was never intended to cover, and it does not contain those items because Iran would never agree to terms that effectively gave the United States control over its foreign policy.

If Trump wants to try to negotiate that kind of deal anyway, it is not necessary to terminate the nuclear treaty in order to do so.

But it’s a mistake to apply rational analysis to Trump’s action because this was an emotional decision, not a rational one.

It is part of his obsession with expunging every single achievement of the Barack Obama administration: health care, the opening to Cuba, the TransPacific Partnership trade deal, the Paris climate treaty and now the Iran nuclear deal.

You can, however, apply rational analysis to every other player’s reaction to Trump’s tantrum, starting with Rouhani.

He will try very hard to keep the deal alive because his own political fate depends on it. If he cannot succeed, the Revolutionary Guard and other hardline nationalists will gain the upper hand domestically and his entire reform policy will be paralyzed.

THE ROLE AND IMPORTANCE OF OUR MOTHERS

‘With a tender kiss, she can heal everything from a cut finger to a broken heart. With her kiss, she can convince a balding 50-year-old man that he is just as handsome as he ever was.’

I

n his own inimitable way, author Rex Burns profiles a mother’s life and mission from joyful to sublime.

He says: “Her endless supply of energy can only be Godgiven. She is first to rise in the morning, has breakfast ready for the brood as they wake up …

“She is both a barber and beautician, fashion consultant, budget director, purchasing agent, paramedic, veterinarian … and she is the last to bed.

Day reminds us of the importance of mothers, who are the builders of families.

If there is no mother, there is no family.

The mother’s place in society used to be so important in ancient cultures that there were mother goddesses who were ascribed more adoration and power than male deities.

Among the Israelite families, mothers were counted higher.

Because of his high esteem for the moth-

er, Jesus made provision for his mother’s care even in the midst of pain and suffering on the cross.

In the Bible, there are many references in which mother’s importance is shown: • Mothers love their children — 2 Kings 4:1: In this passage, a mother loved her two sons so much that she did not want her sons to go into slavery at the hands of the creditor. She cried to a man of God. Today, many young children are under slavery of sin. God has given the important responsibility to the mothers to love them, not just by providing for their physical needs, but by crying to the Lord for their spiritual consecration.

If they truly love their children, they would pray for them to be free

from the clutches of the “enemy”so God would have mercy upon them.

In Mark 7:24-30, a mother came to Jesus requesting him to heal her daughter.

Jesus gave some reason for not healing the girl, but she persisted with her request.

In the end, because of the mother’s steadfast love for the daughter, Jesus healed the girl.

If we humble ourselves and pray persistently, Jesus will heal our children and their generation.

• Mothers comfort their children — Isaiah 66:13: God has said: “As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you.”

Children need mothers as they grow and face changes in their lives.

They develop emotional problems and need a friend to share

these.

Mothers are their best friends who understand them and comfort them when they are discouraged in life.

When they cannot cope with studies or keep friends, God gives special qualities to mothers to win the confidence of their children.

They listen and counsel them so they would be comforted.

When mothers don’t carry out their responsibilities, they could lose their children.

The children will then look for comfort in outsiders and in questionable practices.

• Mothers are teachers — Proverbs 31:1: This passage talks about King Lemuel’s mother teaching the king.

Mothers are the first teachers in the family. She teaches

the Word of God. She also instructs obedience and discipline within the family.

I am sure that before taking Samuel to the house of God, mother Hannah taught him to work hard and to obey the elders.

A mother gave these lessons to Samuel, to whom God spoke directly.

With these qualities, God chose Samuel to be the priest in place of Eli. She did not pay any graft money to get the higher position for her son, but she taught and disciplined him.

Canada needs mothers such as these. God gives tremendous importance to the roles of mothers.

Mothers need to realize their important responsibilities.

Emperor Napoleon

was once asked: “What is the greatest need of the French nation?” Without hesitation, he replied: “The greatest need of our nation is quality mothers.”

Mothers, you are blessed if you realize how important you are in the building of the family and the nation.

FORMER RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AMBASSADOR KICKS OFF ATTACK ON LIBERAL GOVERNMENT MIKE BLANCHFIELD

CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Canada’s former religious freedom ambassador said the Trudeau government is displaying “totalitarian’’ tendencies with its controversial changes to the student summer jobs program.

Andrew Bennett, who until 2015 was Canada’s only envoy devoted exclusively to religious freedom abroad, used the label repeatedly in an interview ahead of his launch this week of a new religious freedom think tank he will be leading to stimulate public discussion on the role of faith in public life.

Bennett is kicking off that discussion with an attack on the Liberal government’s change to the Canada Summer Jobs program that requires organizations seeking funding to tick a box that attests to their respect for sexual and reproductive rights, including abortion, and other human rights.

The government said it is not targeting beliefs or values, but churches and other faith-based

organizations say they are being forced to choose between staying true to their values and seeking grants to help them run programs — from summer camps to soup kitchens — that have nothing to do with abortion.

Bennett said the attestation compels people with no particularly strong religious views — the owner of a small construction company who just wants to hire a few seasonal workers, for instance — to take a moral stand on a divisive issue in order to apply for public funds.

“Whether you’re a person of religious views or a person who just doesn’t want to have an opinion, the government through this action is compelling belief,’’ Bennett said. “That has a certain totalitarian feel to it.’’

If the government wants to foster a pluralistic society in which diversity is truly respected, it has to uphold the fundamental freedoms of all Canadians, he said — “even when those fundamental freedoms are exercised in a way that goes against what the government believes.’’

Bennett said compelling belief

is a “tendency that one can see in totalitarian societies,’’ because if the government links belief to specific values that define Canada, “you’re saying person’s citizenship is not as valid or you’re marginalizing them by saying, ‘You’re outside the tent.’”

Bennett is devoutly Catholic and an ordained deacon, but insists neither his personal politics nor religion drive his work.

He said the institute will explore religious freedom issues across all faiths. There will be quarterly reports and academicstyle papers. And he plans to have a symposium that looks at the nexus between religious and civil law that will encompass Halakah, the body of Jewish laws, Christian Canon law and Muslim Shariah law.

The previous Conservative government announced the creation of the short-lived religious freedom office during the 2011 federal election. It proved controversial, with some complaining it was too Christian-centric or that it was an attempt to win domestic political support by targeting particular communities.

My husband I were divorced when we met.

We both like our exes and we like each other’s exes, too. I know that’s not always the case for everyone.

I have an aunt who was divorced about 25 years ago. A few years later, she married a man who had lost his wife to cancer. There were certainly adjustments and growing pains, but 4:30pm - 9pm when a couple is mature enough to understand the situation and knows the goal of moving forward and healing from past pain and grief, the future will truly be brighter.

I understand that some families are downright dysfunctional and will refuse to accept a new person into the extended family. For that dilemma, I have no answer.

However, I truly believe regardless of what loss you have had, it has brought you to where you are today.

Explorations of Newfoundland ‘Royal Order of Newfoundland Screechers’ dinner the perfect conclusion to stay Canada’s idiosyncratic province’ This colourful cove nestled snuggly along one of Newfoundland’s coastal roads offers a look at life at a much slower pace. Yet, for all the provinces’ small rural settlements, with their pretty cottages and gardens, life hasn’t been easy for Newfoundlanders.

MARGARET DEEFHOLTS travelwriterstales.com

A

warm glow suffuses me as I pucker up to kiss him. He stares back at me, cold and glassy-eyed.

Despite the indifferent response, I am a-tingle.

After all, its not every day one earns honorary Newfoundlander status by swallowing a shot of Screech (rum) and smooching a dead codfish.

The traditional Royal Order of Newfoundland Screechers’ dinner ceremony for visitors who have “come from away” is the perfect conclusion to my stay in Canada’s most delightfully idiosyncratic province — one that has been on my bucket list for several years.

Screech and dinner aside, however, there are other unique culinary delights that Newfoundlanders offer their guests, at least one of which is a tongue-in-cheek treat — a cod’s tongue-and-cheek, that is.

Then, there’s a Jiggs dinner. Jiggs was a character in the old comic strip, Bringing Up Father but how this relates to a meal consisting of sliced salt meat, cabbage, turnip, carrots, potatoes and a thick glob of peas pudding, is beyond me.

But to go back to the beginning: my two week trip is in the company of a group of active and adventurous seniors drawn from across Canada and we get acquainted over a welcome meal organized

by Senior Discovery Tours and our guide and supremely efficient tour manager, Sandra.

Newfoundland is a land of seafarers, where the Atlantic heaves and broods, or roars along rocky shores below its many tall lighthouses. Gros Morne Park is dominated by its plateau-like mountain, and our route takes us along a road, that winds through undulat-

ing countryside.

We drive by inlets, their waters lapping gently against pebbled shores, and fishing villages with lobster traps stacked against wharfs and boat docks.

For all the province’s small rural settlements, with their pretty cottages and gardens, life hasn’t been easy for Newfoundlanders.

The fishing industry has declined and although other employment avenues have now opened up — the tourism industry for one — the average family continues to live frugally.

Nonetheless life is enjoyed to the hilt with festivals and celebrations throughout the year, and hospitality that knows no bounds.

There’s no better example of the islanders rollicking sense of fun than the party aboard the ‘MV Em-Cat’.

As we cruise Bonne Bay in Gros Morne park, our captain shares

droll yarns about our rugged surroundings and then he and the crew grab guitars and a squeezebox and belt out toe-tapping Newfoundland ditties. The popular I’se the B’y has us clapping and kicking up our heels.

The lingo is charming. “Where’s y’longs to?” (Where are you from?) asks a friendly cashier at a corner grocery store. “I was shitbaked, (terrified)” says one of our local guides, as he recounts encountering a rambunctious moose at close quarters.

At a restaurant I am told, “Sorry, the place is blocked.” Blocked?

Seeing my blank look, the hostess hastily adds, “‘Y’know. . . full. But don’t go away sweetheart — a table will clear soon.”

Equally beguiling are the names of small hamlets. We drive by “Cow Head,” “Blow Me Down,” and even a village called “No Name.”

Where else but in

Newfoundland would you find such romantic monikers as, “Hearts Delight,” “Hearts Content” and “Hearts Desire” all of which aren’t too far off from “Cupids,” “Dildo” and “Conception Bay.” Shouldn’t there be a “Makin’ Whoopee” too?

The notoriously capricious weather is typical: much of the time we have what one local guide describes as “mauzy” (muggy, sometimes foggy) July weather.

There are sunny days where lazy clouds throw drifting shadows across fields, and when the rain comes, it is a misty drizzle that softens landscapes into dreamy inlets and pale hills. Lovely, in a fragile sort of way.

Grassy indentations on a sunlit knoll, mark the ‘footprints’ of houses and workshops of a 1,000-yearold Norse settlement at L’Anse aux Meadows and the reconstructed sod-and-timber Viking village at

nearby museum brings the ghosts of the past to life.

The small town of Trinity has winding lanes flanked by cottages and banks of riotous purple fireweed and scarlet paintbrush. A cliff teeming with tiny Puffin birds and in the waters, a tribe of humpback whales cavort for our cameras at Witless Bay Reserve.

The Rooms, a four-floor museum in St. John’s showcases a riveting exhibition of the province’s culture, traditions, history and art — and across the street, in the convent of the Presentation Sisters, is an astounding sculpture: the marble Veiled Virgin who gazes at visitors through what appears to be a fine gauze-like veil draped over her face.

I can’t wait to return.

INSIDE: Fastball taking over the Ranch | A35

If each member of the Pink Panthers shows the type of determination exhibited by Chloe Dolha in catching this fly ball, the first all-girls team in Kamloops Minor Baseball Association history is in good hands.

PINK PANTHERS FIRST ALL- GIRLS KMBA TEAM HISTORY ON THE DIAMOND MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

O

livia Aikens scooped a ground ball and threw it to Lacey Boswell, who made the catch, the sound — whap! — bouncing into a warm spring night on McArthur Island.

The play was met with widespread cheer by teammates who had struggled with the drill on Tuesday, working together to keep the ball off the deck, keeping count of how many successful transfers they could rack up.

“Nice throw!” bellowed Sara Logan. “Good catch!” Layla Spencer yelled.

“That’s three in a row!” Olivia Johnson howled.

The next throw sailed about 10 feet above its target and crashed to the ground, along with hopes of a new record.

“That’s OK, girls,” said Danielle Johnson, head coach of the eight-and-under Pink Panthers.

“Start again. You have to start somewhere.”

The Pink Panthers know all about starting somewhere — they are the first all-girls team in the Kamloops Minor Baseball Association’s 54-year history.

All-girls baseball programming is a rarity across the country, although more teams and leagues have popped up during the last few years in Manitoba, Ontario and Nova Scotia.

Females in Canada have long flocked to fastball and still do. The Kamloops Minor Fastball Association has more than 100 registrants ages five to 19 in 2018, most of them girls.

SPORTS ‘THEY THINK BOYS ARE STRONGER THAN GIRLS, BUT IT’S ACTUALLY OPPOSITE’ From A33

The idea for all-girls baseball in Kamloops gained steam when KMBA executive director Sean Wandler was sharing ideas with a Baseball Canada committee and bumped into a Quebec-based woman who is having success with a female program in La Belle Province.

“It will give them a safe environment to try the sport and learn about the opportunities outside the KMBA, such as the B.C. selects girls’ program and other opportunities like that,” KMBA president Chris Balison said last year, noting a pilot program was in the works for 2018.

Here’s seven-year-old Spencer’s version of Balison’s explanation: “Girls like the same things sometimes and, most of the time, boys like the same things. It makes me feel unique and I like meeting new girls. It makes me feel more comfortable having friends around my side.”

Playing with female teammates lessens the intimidation factor for some girls, especially those taking up the sport a little later on in childhood.

“Part of it is the age group they’re in,” coach Johnson said.

“These are mostly eight-year-

as per league rules, but make no mistake — the girls are keeping track.

“We’ve won so far,” Aikens said. “The last game it was 10 to 9 and we won because we had 10 and they had nine.”

Boswell trumpeted an unblemished record: “We pretty much haven’t been defeated by any boys.”

So, how is this happening, this run of female dominance?

“They think that boys are stronger than girls, but it’s actually the opposite,” Olivia Johnson said.

“Girls are cooler,” added Mia Hunter.

“Girls have more strength than boys,” declared Boswell.

Coach Johnson was less bullish on the girls’ proposed 3-0 record, but said they definitely won their last game, marking the first unofficial victory by a female baseball team in KMBA history.

“We don’t technically keep score, but the girls know the score,” she said. “They know if they’ve beaten the boys. They know if they’ve gotten that out against the boys. The competition is very much there.”

There are about 62 girls registered in the KMBA, many of

old girls and, at this point in their life, they want to be with a group of girls. They’re very much aware that boys are on this side and girls are on that side.

“They show up, they have this group of friends who all like

baseball and I think that is the extra draw to come and play.”

The Pink Panthers are pitted against boys’ teams, now three games into their season in the tadpole age group.

Scores are not officially kept,

whom enjoy playing on boys’ teams. Parents of tadpole-age daughters were given the option of having them play with the boys or girls.

Last year, there were about 50 girls signed up in KMBA, each of them playing on boys’ teams.

Positive feedback this year suggests all-girls teams will soon pop up in more age divisions.

The KMBA also hosts an allgirls practise night on Fridays, basic skills coaching sessions that do not require membership with the association. All told, there are about 82 girls playing baseball in the city, including those who toil on KMBA teams and girls taking to the diamond only on Friday night.

Baseball BC is monitoring this year’s pilot project in Kamloops and notes will be taken as it plans for an all-girls league on the Lower Mainland.

Doing their best to make the Tournament Capital look good are the Pink Panthers — Aikens, Logan, Spencer, Johnson, Hunter, Boswell, Sophia Lawrence, Chloe Dolha and Macy Doll.

“Hi, I’m Sophia Lawrence, I’m from Kamloops and I’m on the first-ever girls team,” said one very excited Pink Panther. “It’s the best because it’s all girls.”

MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Yvonne Dmyterko said the Spring Knockout Tournament is the Kamloops Minor Fastball Association’s time to shine.

“We put all our eggs in one basket,” said Dmyterko, the association’s tournament co-ordinator. “We’re a small association with about 100 kids. We host one big annual tournament a year.”

Thirty teams from across the province will come to the Tournament Capital Ranch this weekend for the event, which will feature under-12, U14, U16 and U19 girls’ divisions, along with a U12 boys’ division.

Teams from Kamloops are often on the road in league play, travelling for games in Merritt, Barriere, Clearwater and Sorrento.

A home tournament is a season highlight for parents and players alike.

The action gets underway on Friday and wraps up on Sunday. The full schedule, including the slate for four local teams, is available online at kamloopsthisweek.com.

This year’s tournament gives the fastball association an opportunity to strike a pose while the Kamloops Minor Baseball Association flexes its muscles with all-girls programming for the first time in its 54-year history.

“It’s really great exposure for the league,” Dmyterko said. “We’re trying really hard to inform Kamloops that fastball is alive and well.

“They [the KMBA] have a really great program.

We don’t deny that. But we play different sports.

We want everyone to know the difference, as well.

“The bases are closer together. The pitching is not quite as far away. We have a bright yellow ball.

It’s a fast-paced game. It lives up to its name.”

Softball was removed from the Olympic Summer Games in 2012 and 2016 after being in the program from 1996 to 2008. The sport will return to the lineup for Tokyo 2020.

“You can start at five and there’s a future in it, for girls especially,” Dmyterko said. “They can play at the collegiate level, then the national level and it’s back in the Olympics now. That’s awesome.”

For more information on the KMFA, which has divisions for ages five to 19, go online to kamloopsminorfastball.com or find it on Facebook.

Each of the Ranch’s eight diamonds will offer a glimpse of what the sport has to offer this weekend at the fifth annual Spring Knockout.

“The kids really want to play in front of an audience, so we want Kamloops to come out and cheer them on,” Dmyterko said.

Stoudamire says Raptors have come a long way, feels best is yet to come GREGORY STRONG

CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Former Raptors star Damon Stoudamire leaned back on a couch in a downtown Toronto office and recalled the team’s early days when he anchored an expansion squad that would struggle for years.

The NBA team won just 21 games in its debut 199596 season, with Stoudamire’s rookie of the year award one of the few highlights from the team’s early era. The man nicknamed “Mighty Mouse’’ lasted only two-plus seasons in Toronto but always felt the franchise would eventually be successful.

“I thought the potential was there,’’ Stoudamire said.

“Obviously it was on the ground level. So you’re playing in SkyDome. It wasn’t a basketball arena, it was a makeshift arena with birds flying around sometimes dur-

ing games. You could see [the growth] coming, you didn’t know when.

“Now if you think about the franchise, [from] Damon Stoudamire to Vince Carter to [Chris] Bosh, I think that when you identify with the Toronto Raptors now, it’s more the Toronto Raptors. It’s the people’s team.’’

Much has changed over the last two decades.

The cartoonish dinosaur uniforms only come out on retro jersey night and the Toronto Blue Jays are the only team that calls the dome home. A raucous fanbase regularly packs Air Canada Centre for Raptors games and the team, anchored by stars DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Lowry, is consistently in the playoffs.

The disappointment, however, has shifted from lastplace showings in the 1990s to an inability to go deep in the post-season. The Raptors have

reached the playoffs for five straight years but only made it to the Eastern Conference final on one occasion, falling to Cleveland in 2016.

Toronto’s latest loss — a four-game sweep by the Cavaliers — was a gutpunch for fans who had high hopes after a 59-win campaign gave the Raptors the No. 1 seed in the East.

Stoudamire, in town to promote a nine-part docuseries True North, offered some thoughts for a reeling fanbase that’s looking for answers after falling to the LeBron James-led Cavaliers for a third straight year.

“Don’t take winning for granted,’’ he said. “You’ve got a product that is going to the playoffs every year. You’re in an era where you’ve got to go through this era’s best player.

Arguably the best player to ever play the game. So you’ve got to have perspective on all this.’’

Stoudamire averaged 19.0 points a game for the Raptors in his rookie season after being selected with the seventh overall pick in the 1995 draft. He was dealt to the Trail Blazers in early 1998 and spent the bulk of his 13-year career in Portland.

Even though he had asked to be traded, the five-foot-10 Stoudamire still feels a strong connection to Toronto when he returns.

“The stir I created and looking like the average person, it made the [fans] identify with me,’’ he said.

“When I come back, I think the people, they’re so gracious and show me so much love for the things that I accomplished in that short period of time.’’

The Portland native, now a head coach with the University of the Pacific Tigers, would like to see the Raptors’ supporters stay strong despite the latest early exit.

Cardinals top Prowlers in fastball action Two Kamloops Major Men’s Fastball League games were held on Tuesday at Charles Anderson Park.

The Cardinals bested the Chase Prowlers 9-6. Clint Anderson was the winning pitcher, while Steve Davidson took the loss on the mound.

Kent Miller had a three-run inside-the-park home run for the Cards. Eli Jules went yard for Chase.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Wendy Joy Labrie

George Edward Barker 1943 – 2018

George passed away peacefully on April 2, 2018 after a lengthy battle with cancer. He is survived by his loving wife of 50 years Geri, sons Tim (Janet) and Geoff (Bonita) and grandchildren Jenaya, Tyson and Benjamin.

It is with a heavy heart and profound loss we announce that Wendy Joy Labrie entered into eternal rest at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House, overlooking the beautiful city of Kamloops on April 30, 2018 at the age of 58.

“Buck’s Kamloops Roundup” Saturday June 16, 2018 ~ starts at 2pm

George was born in Flin Flon, Manitoba on June 1, 1943. He was a loving and devoted husband, father and grandfather; a true example of a man of integrity and honour. After George and Geri were married in 1968 in Flin Flon, they ventured west to British Columbia to begin their new life. George worked as a Geologist for over 25 years for Gibraltar Mines in Williams Lake, BC and retired in 2005. He was a naturalist and loved the outdoors. In his early years, he was an avid canoeist, where he competed in highly intense endurance races in the abundant lakes and streams surrounding Flin Flon and Creighton, Saskatchewan and even considered trying out for the Olympic team. He passed on that love of canoeing, nature and the outdoors to his sons, who cherish the devotion and love their father gave them, spending time at the lake, hiking and horseback riding amongst an abundance of wisdom and many other wonderful memories. George was, and still is, a devoted Christian and is now at his Lord’s side in Paradise There will be a Celebration of Life for George on Saturday, July 7, 2018 at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church located at 1136 6th Ave. Kamloops, BC. All that knew George and his incredible kindness are welcome to attend to celebrate his wonderful life.

Donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society and/or Kamloops Hospice Association.

Condolences may be sent to the family at DrakeCremation.com

She is survived by her loving and devoted husband of 38 years Dennis Labrie, her son Nathan Labrie (Cambi Cook) and their children Logan, Amalie, Aidan and Chloe Labrie, daughter Shauna Labrie (Kyle Schlecht), mother Emily Follweiter and siblings Darlene Follweiter, Warren Follweiter (Kathy Follweiter), Glen Follweiter (Marnie Follwieter) and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family and sisters in guiding as well as many close friends.

She was predeceased by her sister Maureen in September 1956 and father John Follweiter in January 2017, grandparents Jakob and Katarina Follweiter and Henry and Natalie Lange, her step-grandmother Bertha Platzer Lange and father and mother-in-law Norman and Florence Labrie.

Wendy loved to spend time with her children and grandchildren, take long walks and laugh with her loved ones. She loved to spend time in the great outdoors, to hear wild bird calls. Wendy made many enduring lifelong friendships.

“Remember the good times and memories we share, think of me often, for I will be with you always.”

Rocco was born in Kamloops, where he was also raised. He attended Dufferin Elementary School and graduated from Sahali Secondary.

He worked for a short time at the End of the Roll Carpets and received three best salesman awards. Rocco went to Grande Prairie to be a janitor at the hospital. He then went to a sheet metal shop. He decided to make this his trade, having moved to Calgary to work and do his apprenticeship program at a sheet metal shop. Through the program he went to S.A.I.T and received his Red Seal journeyman papers in sheet metal. His one big job was helping in the construction of the pediatric hospital in Calgary and was very proud of that.

Predeceased by his dad, mom, brother and two sisters. He is survived by his loving wife Doreen and sons Wayne (Stella), Gary, Dony (Karen) and the youngest son Dave. He is also survived by his grandchildren Jess, Kody, Michelle, Kaleigh, Garrett, Kyle, Jeremy, Carey, along with many greatgrandchildren, numerous family and friends.

Rocco decided to come home and he worked in Kamloops as well as the oilfields in Northern Alberta. Rocco began having some mental health issues and through the mission and programs offered by Kamloops he began getting help and getting back on his feet.

Thank you to the doctors and nurses at RIH for their care. Please make a donation in memory of Arthur to the Royal Inland Hospital. There will be a family gathering at a later time.

In the early years he played hockey and football. Arthur enjoyed sports right up until he passed. Arthur met his love Doreen Hamilton in 1951 and they were married. The two moved to Kamloops and sold cars successfully until going into the construction sector with Teamsters.

He worked on many large projects around BC and was a Teamster to the end. He also enjoyed the outdoors, hunting and fishing and did this until he was unable to in later years.

Love and miss you every day.

Brian Donald Hendricks

Ingrid Marguerite Middlemass

1963 – 2018

January 18, 1929 – April 27, 2018

Brian passed away unexpectedly at home early on the morning of April 26, 2018 at the age of 54.

Ingrid Middlemass was born in Gothenburg, Sweden.

She immigrated to Canada with her husband Ian.

Brian was born in Hudson Bay, SK on August 15, 1963.

Being fluent in Swedish, German and English, she worked as a translator.

He is predeceased by his father Donald Hendricks and his mother Frances Hendricks.

She loved traveling, singing, golf and piano and enjoyed vacationing in Hawaii and the Shuswap.

He leaves behind his daughter Jamie Lee of Sudbury, ON and siblings Paul (Johanna) of Kamloops, BC, Donna (Dean) of Chase, BC and Lezlee of Surrey, BC, as well as numerous nephews, uncles, aunts and cousins.

Brian was a skilled glazier for 35 years. His career started in Kamloops and continued in Sudbury, ON for a number of years, until moving back to BC and he continued his career in the Vancouver area.

Brian enjoyed fishing, swimming, golfing and family time at Little Shuswap Lake.

He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.

There will be no formal service.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Heart & Stroke Foundation in memory of Brian.

Ask DRAKE Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director

Every Friday in KTW!

Q. Why can’t I be cremated right away… why wait?

She was fond of entertaining, (Santa Lucia parties amongst others), but rarely cooked.

A. In BC you can’t be cremated until 48 hours following your death.

In other provinces there are different rules. I think it’s a good rule.

A lot of people need some sleep before signing the cremation form -- less chance they’ll make a bad or costly decision.

Ingrid met Ian, her husband of many years, while skiing in Europe where they apparently crashed into one another on the slopes.

Ian predeceased her in 2011.

She was a lovely, quiet and peaceful lady and will live long in our memories.

She will be especially missed by her dear friends Helga, Mike and Gerrianne. !

Special thanks to all the staff on 2B at Kamloops Seniors Village and to Dr. Bantock.

ORCHESTRATING A SEASON KSO sets out to delight with a variety of guest artists DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

he Kamloops Symphony Orchestra will spend some dark and spooky nights in its 2018-2019 season.

There will also be some fishing and a guest soloist whose day job is as a doctor.

The Beatles will be featured, along with Simon and Garfunkel, Game of Thrones and a work by a former Kamloopsian.

The upcoming season starts in September with New Perspectives, which includes the Kamloops link. Stacey Brown, who moved from the River City to Montreal in 2002, saw her work Perspectives premiered last year by the Orchestre Métropolitain de Montreal, which commissioned Brown to create. She said she drew her inspiration for it from a geometrical sculpture created by one of her music teachers — an arrangement of rectangular blocks of different shapes and colours.

The Sept. 29 concert, which features cellist Anna Burden as guest artist, includes the Cello Concerto by Robert Schumann and Symphony No. 2 by Jean Sibelius.

On Oct. 13, Vancouver’s Ventos Wind Quintet will be featured in Our Canada: Forecasting the Canadian Wind. It includes Jeff Pelletier on flute, Kristen Cooke on oboe, Mike Brown on clari-

THE SEASON TO COME Vancouver’s Ventos Wind Quintet will be featured Oct. 13 (top), Canadian violinist Yolanda Bruno will be featured in January (middle), and Kerson Leong will be a guest artist in February (bottom). Far right: Yaniv Attar, December’s guest conductor.

net, Nick Anderson on horn and Katelin Coleman on bassoon.

Their program of chamber music has not been finalized yet but will feature five new works by Canadian composers.

Things get a bit frightening near Halloween as KSO presents A Dark and Scary Night on Oct. 26 and Oct. 27. The theme is drawn not only from the annual night for ghosts, goblins and other costumed creatures but from video games Outlast and Dungeon Hunter.

Music from each joins Night on Bald Mountain by Modest Mussorgsky, In the Hall of the Mountain King by Edvard Grieg and Danse Macabre by Camille Saint-Saens.

The Fab Four are the focus on Nov. 16 and Nov. 17, courtesy of Classical Mystery Tour, four musicians who dress, look (sort of ) and play Beatles classics through the years they were making music.

On Nov. 24, Cascadia Reed Quintet — A. K. Coope, Marea Chernoff, Colin MacDonald, Christopher Lee and Olivia Martin — is featured in Compelling Reeds with a program of works by Jean-Philippe Rameau, Georges Bizet, Graham Fitkin, Tom

Johnson and quintet member MacDonald. Long-time KSO fans will recognize Martin, as she has performed with the orchestra before and was guest artist when conductor Dina Gilbert came to Kamloops when she was vying for the job to replace Bruce Dunn.

They’ll also recognize Chernoff from her years as principal KSO oboist.

Dec. 15 and Dec. 16 bring the traditional holiday celebration with guest conductor Yaniv Attar. The program includes A Winter Wonderland by Valvin Custer, Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desire by Johann Sebastian Bach, March of the Toys by Victor Herbert and Christmas Eve Suite

by Nicolai RimskyKorakov.

Attar, a native of Israel, is music director of the Pennsylvania Chamber Orchestra and the Whatcom Symphony Orchestra in Bellingham. A classical guitarist, he has performed with symphonies around the world.

Symphony maps out 2019 From B1

The symphony greets 2019 on Jan. 12 with Four Seasons Two Ways, a program that brings together Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi with Violin Concerto No. 2 American Four Seasons by Phillip Glass, who composed it to be partnered with the Vivaldi classic.

Guest artist is Canadian violinist Yolanda Bruno, who CBC named to its Hot 20 Canadian Classical Musicians under 30.

Beethoven gets his due on Feb. 9 with guest conductor Jean-Michael Lavoie overseeing a program that includes the premiere of a new work and Ludwig van Beethoven’s Violin Concerto and Symphony No. 8. The new work is the result of a collaboration between Montreal University, where Lavoie teaches, and graduate student Maggie Ayotte.

The Sun Rivers Trio provides chamber music on Feb. 23, focussing on works that span the 19th and 20th centuries. A final program has not been set.

The symphony heads to the

movies on March 8 and March 9 with violinist Cvetozar Vutev featured on a program that includes Lieutenant Kije/Romance by Sergei Prokofiev, Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber, The Godfather by Nino Rota, Schindler’s List theme

by John Williams and music from Game of Thrones.

March sees the Black Dog String Quartet and John Kastelic perform chamber music that includes folk songs by Kastelic and Johannes Brahms’ Second String Quintet.

The music of Paul and Art comes to life on April 26 and April 27 as Juno Award winner Jim Witter performs many of the hits of Simon and Garfunkel.

The doctor will be in the house on April 14 as Mathiew Gaudet, a family physician in Montreal, joins his former masters-degree classmate Gilbert for Virtuosic Piano.

The program includes Orawa by Wojciech Kilar, Concerto No. 2 by Frederic Chopin and Symphony No. 3 by Louise Farrenc.

At the time Gaudet and Gilbert were studying for their degree in conducting, he was also finishing

Black Dog String Quartet will perform with John Kastelic in March 2019, promising to erase the lines between classical music and contemporary folk.

his doctorate in piano performance and completing his medical degree.

The season wraps on May 11 with Carmina Burana, featuring soprano Chelsea Rus, tenor Martin Renner Wallace, baritone James Westman, clarinetist Sally Arai and

the KSO Chorus.

KSO member Arai has perhaps the challenging part of the performance as she will be decked out in fishing gear and her clarinet will double as a rod.

The program includes Fishing

Story by Maxine Goulet, Les Etourneaux by Keiko Devaux and Carmina Burana by Carl Orff.

Tickets are available at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483 or online at kamloopslive.ca.

The country singer won’t be doing a show here — yet — but is on the road promoting himself and his music to radio stations across the country.

He’s planned a trip that will give him time to spend as he comes through the Prairies and into B.C. — areas he’s not spent much time in, he said. He was in Comox when he was in high school on an exchange and made it out to the Canadian Country Music Awards when they were in Vancouver a few years ago.

Ironically, it was his song Taking My Time that turned what was a passion for music into something more, he said, and opened up the creative flow to complete his album with the same name.

Music’s always been part of his life, Kipfer said. His earliest memory is taking his plastic saxophone along with him when his

musician dad went to perform at a seniors’ centre. While guitar is his main instrument, he can also play the four different types of saxes.

Kipfer said he creates music he hopes honours traditional country — right down to the humorous side of it that was reflected by TV shows like Hee Haw, the music of Roger Miller or the antics of Minnie Pearl on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry.

“That humour was so quick,” Kipfer said, “and I think it has got lost in the culture of country music these days.”

He’s been focused on his own music for the past three years because “my dad told me to have something to fall back on,” which led to careers in radio, record production and even a few years at a funeral home.

It was in that job that he came up with the car that graces his promotional photo and his website, scottykipfer.com.

Kipfer said he was looking for an old vehicle to use as a backdrop and saw an ad on kijiji.ca while he was taking a break, one

selling a 1964 blue Mustang.

“I thought that was perfect,” he said, “and the address was a block away so I took my cup of coffee and walked over but the address didn’t exist.”

A man out nearby saw his con-

fused face and asked if he could help, Kipfer said he was a singer looking to rent an old car for a day for a video shoot, and the man opened his garage and there sat a 1938 Ford tow truck — and plenty of other old vehicles.

The man belonged to a classic-cars club so he made some calls to his buddies and soon, there were more old cars and trucks, all donated and ready to be used in the video.

“That was pretty awesome.”

n April 3, 2018, the Swedenbased streaming service Spotify began publicly trading shares on the New York Stock Exchange. After a day's trading, which saw the company's shares peak at $165.90, the company was valued at $26.6 billion dollars.

Despite this success, the company has yet to turn a profit in their 10 years of existence. Even more troubling is Spotify's casual attitude towards copyright protection, which has had them face two large lawsuits in the past two years.

While the company earns almost $5 billion in revenue, about 75 per cent of that goes to paying royalties to labels, producers, writers and musicians.

Spotify relies mostly on paid subscriptions to earn revenue, with only 70 million users paying for their services. Only 10 per cent of its revenue comes from advertising, which is shown to the more than 90 million free users.

Despite this, Spotify loses $1.5 billion dollars per year.

In May 2017, Spotify settled a class action copyright lawsuit filed over 300,000 songs that were not properly cleared for use. They paid out $43.4 million to settle the case. Spotify failed to

secure recording rights for these songs before putting them on their platform, and failed to file Notice of Intent documents with the U.S. Copyright Office despite being reminded to do so. It also failed to pay the mechanical rights for the compositions.

As it exists now, copyright law in the internet age is a minefield.

At least five different types of copyright holders need to be paid for a piece of music to end up on a streaming service like Spotify.

Often overlooked are the “mechanical rights,” the fees that need to be paid for a song to be transferred from one medium (such as a CD or digital file) to another medium (like a stream-

ing service). In most physical media, like tapes and CDs, the fees for mechanical rights are included in the cost of blank media.

In January of this year, Spotify was sued again for $1.6 billion dollars. The issue again was the mechanical rights, which Spotify failed to acquire before putting the songs up on their platform.

This time, some of the artists involved are bigger names like Tom Petty and Neil Young.

Given the two lawsuits already issued, Spotify's attitude towards copyrights seems to be, put music up, ask for forgiveness later. And a company facing near constant legal troubles doesn't seem like a good fit for public investment.

While investors did show some interest in Spotify's Initial Public Offering (IPO) in April, others are finding Apple's approach to streaming more interesting, with iTunes not relying on subscription fees to make their money, and their already strong hardware backing up iTunes.

New exhibitions coming to Old Courthouse Cultural Centre

BRIEFS

Two new art exhibitions open at the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre on May 16.

Larry Pilcher’s Animilia in Colour is a series of nature-inspired works in acrylics and oils. He said he sees “a parallel of nature under attack, as well as with me. Wanting to hold onto the expressions seen in nature, I have felt an especial link of the motherchild relationship … These paintings have been the result.”

Fields of View: Tapestries of Time by geologist and artist Nancy Van Wagoner is a series of women and printed tapestries “that juxtapose imagery of the solar system, melding scares of size, space and time to create narratives about Earth and life.”

Both continue at the centre, 7 West Seymour St., to June 19. The opening reception is Wednesday, May 16, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

FINE ART FOR SALE

The Kamloops Artists group held its annual fine arts show and sale last Saturday and Sunday at the Kamloops Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre. To see more images from the show, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com and click on the Entertainment tab.

Kamloops Players are in the zone The Kamloops Players are taking the act on the road this month, presenting two one-act plays at the zone level of Theatre B.C. Both plays — Mrs. Dally Has a Lover and Whisper Into My Good Ear — are by William Hanley. They’re now being presented at The Stage House Theatre, 422 Tranquille Rd., on May 11, May 12, May 18 and May 19 at 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 7 p.m.

Val Laughlin, who plays Mrs. Dally, said the cast and crew are excited to take their work to the next level.

Plays from other community theatre groups in the Okanagan zone will also be part of the May 18 to May 26 festival at the Powerhouse Theatre in Vernon.

Laughlin said Kamloops will present on May 23.

After starting with the Players working with props, Laughlin has moved onto the stage and said it’s been a fun learning experience. Both productions are two-people plays; she acts alongside Fraser Griffith, while Mark Faliszewski and Frank Kohlberger are in the other play.

Mrs. Dally is the story of a middle-aged woman dealing

with her son’s death who finds love with a neighbour who recently graduated from high school.

Whisper Into My Good Ear tells the story of Charlie and Max, who have come together with the purpose of killing themselves. Charlie has an invalid wife with dementia, he’s losing his eyesight, he had an abusive parent and he’s worn out. Max is simply a lonely man.

They start to talk and the play — which has many funny moments — becomes lifeaffirming.
