Culos deal included complex land swap AGREEMENT SAW DEVELOPER HAND CITY STRATA UNITS, WHICH INCREASED IN VALUE, TO $1.4 MILLION FROM $120,000 JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

While Kelowna developer Mike Culos wants the City of Kamloops to buy back the former CN station, there’s no sale on the horizon.

“It hasn’t come to me,” City of Kamloops real-estate manager Dave Freeman told KTW. Mike Culos earlier told this newspaper the city should buy back land he purchased in recent years after he was denied access to city-owned land to erect seven condos on either side of the former CN building.

Culos needed access to a walkway to allow vehicle entry into a currently chained-off that is frequented by pedestrians.

Previous plans for the space included commercial development matching the style of the heritage CN building, but Culos said there is no market for that in Kamloops.

Freeman said Culos has not come to the city pitching sale of the property.

At council on Tuesday, in-camera details shed light on why council denied the developer access: safety concerns for pedestrians and complications with solid-waste collection, snow-clearing and repair and maintenance of the plaza.

Freeman detailed the history of the city’s relationship with Culos in developing the area, which dates back to the mid-1990s.

Through the years, upgrades were made to Lorne Street, a public plaza was built and commercial space was added.

More than 100 parking stalls were constructed and Rocky Mountaineer’s platform was enhanced.

“In exchange of that, we traded off the land that formed the two pad sites, effectively getting construction work done in exchange for land value at the time,” Freeman said.

In addressing the $1 sale of the CN station (which previously housed The Keg restaurant) to Culos, Freeman said it was part of a complex land deal in the area.

“One of the things that isn’t taken into consideration is the city received the strata units that face onto the station plaza,” Freeman told council.

“We paid $120,000 for those units. Today, their BC Assessment is $1.4 million. Mr. Culos begrudged the fact that we now have property that’s increased almost 12 times. It was a very complex deal.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW Mike Culos at his property east of Sandman Centre. He told KTW he wants the city to buy back the heritage CN Station, but city real-estate manager Dave Freeman said he has yet to hear from the Kelowna developer.

“There’s now over 150 condominiums down there, significant tax base. Basically, changed the face down on Lorne Street.”

As for the current state of the land owned

by Culos, Coun. Denis Walsh raised concerns.

He said the grass is dying and noted three trees roughly eight metres (26 feet) tall that were chopped down without a permit remain lying on the two lots.

“It’s in a very, sort of a critical spot, tourism-wise,” Walsh said. “It’d be nice to have someone to water the grass. We can’t take that on as a city, can we?

“No, it’s private property,” CAO David Trawin replied, adding the city could enforce its bylaws if it becomes a nuisance property, noting there are various timelines involved.

Byron McCorkell, the city’s community and protective-services director, said staff have spoken with Culos and put the developer on notice.

“Our expectation is that it should be the way it was before they did what they did,” McCorkell said.

“But, as Mr. Trawin has indicated, there are some timeline delays in there and there is some ongoing conversations about the development request or permit “They’re actively looking to get a building proposal going there. Whether he’s coming back again or not, I don’t know.”

McCorkell said Culos did not know about the tree-protection bylaw before three trees were chopped down without a permit. Culos earlier told KTW his company got “a little ahead of the curve.”

Culos has also erected a fence around the lots. He said having the public use the space as parkland is a liability issue, noting he is preparing to build something on the properties.

“We need to pull that value out of the ground,” Culos earlier told KTW. “It’s been sitting there for 20 years now with no ability to do anything with it.”

The land is zoned central business district, which allows for many different structures to be built, including a funeral home and off-street parking facilities.

Province’s electoral system referendum question set TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

British Columbians now know what questions are likely to be on the ballot when the province’s voters head to the polls for a referendum later this year to decide whether to change the way elections are held.

At a press conference in Victoria on Wednesday morning, Attorney General David Eby laid out the two queries he has recommended for the referendum on voting reform — a two-step process.

First, Eby said, voters will be asked whether they want to keep the current first-past-the-post setup or switch to a system of proportional representation.

If the majority of participating voters choose to switch to a PR system, the second question will come into play: “If British Columbia adopts a proportional representation voting system, which to the following voting systems do you prefer?

Dual-member proportional, mixed-member proportional [or] rural-urban proportional representation?”

For the second question, voters will be asked to rank their preferences. Eby also said voters who wish to keep first-past-thepost will be allowed to cast a vote on the second question.

“It’s the people’s voice that matters most,” Eby said. “They have the most say.”

Dual-member proportional representation would elect two MLAs per riding — one using first-past-the-post metrics (whoever earns the most votes in the riding) and the other with proportionality (using provincewide results). In this case, ridings would be approximately doubled in size.

Mixed-member proportional

representation would see potentially expanded ridings choose MLAs by party based on the proportion of the vote in the riding.

Rural-urban proportional representation would see MLAs in urban areas chosen with a ranked ballot and those in rural areas elected using a mixed-member proportional system.

Gisela Ruckert, team leader of Fair Vote Kamloops, which promotes PR, said she is happy with the information unveiled on Wednesday.

“I think it’s great that the government has responded to the massive amount of feedback they’ve got,” she told KTW. “We’re pleased that they made some important guarantees to the voters.”

Ruckert said she was reassured to hear the Interior would not lose any representation in Victoria and pleased with the way Eby laid out the questions on his recommended referendum ballot.

“I think it’s a really good compromise,” she said. “One of the things we’ve heard from the ‘No’ side is that people can’t vote on proportional representation without knowing what systems would be on the menu. Here, they get to see what’s on the menu. It removes that uncertainty. I think this is a good compromise in that regard.”

Eby said he came up with his recommendations after listening to input from thousands of B.C. voters.

“These options are recommended to be on the ballot because they correspond with what we heard,” he said.

Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone said each option will still impact rural voters.

He said the third possible system the government announced, a rural-urban proportional representation “is something no one has ever heard of before and we

don’t know the details on a practical basis.”

Stone expressed concern about parties providing lists of candidates who would run on a regional rather than local basis, noting the two MLAs for Kamloops — him and Peter Milobar — “are people who people know and who people can go to for help.”

He stressed his dismay at Eby’s announcement that there is not enough time before the referendum vote to provide people with maps of the proposed regions or sample ballots with the referendum wording.

“That should be available now,” Stone said.

“The maps and ballots were developed for the last two referendums. But he’s saying we will have the vote and after, they’ll develop the maps and other things.”

If any changes are made, Eby said, he is recommending a second referendum — he called it a “confirming referendum” — after two B.C. general elections for voters to ensure they got it right.

“I think that’s another excellent choice,” Ruckert said. “It gives the voters the security of knowing this isn’t a forever deal if, for some reason, the unlikely happens. But what we do know is that no country has ever gone back to first-past-the-post after choosing a proportional-representation system.”

Voting in the referendum will be done by mail-in ballot.

The campaign opens on July 1 and closes on Nov. 30, with a voting period running from Oct. 22 to the end of November.

Eby also pledged there would be no substantial increase in the size of the legislature — now at 87 seats —and no political party would be eligible for a seat in Victoria without at least five per cent of the provincial vote.

When Chelsea Galbraith moved to Calgary, more women were involved in civic politics compared to her hometown of Kamloops.

Mayor Naheed Nenshi promoted equal representation among both genders, she said — part of the reason she turned up on Wednesday night to hear from past and current female politicians encouraging women to run in this fall’s municipal election.

“I think everybody should be represented,” Galbraith told KTW. A panel discussion was hosted at city hall by councillors Kathy Sinclair and Tina Lange and former councillor Nancy Bepple. It was facilitated by CBC Radio’s Shelley Joyce.

Currently, three of nine city council members in Kamloops are women, with one set to retire this year. Since Kamloops’ incorporation in 1893, only one woman — Kenna Cartwright in the early 1990s — has been mayor.

“For me, it’s really about diversity and seeing every member of our community represented on council,” Sinclair said. “We don’t have that yet.”

About two-dozen people (including a few men) turned up to hear the women discuss their experiences on council and

supporters to help with the workload and fundraising. Lange said door-knocking works best, time permitting.

Other recommendations (some tongue-in-cheek) were intended to make women appear more powerful: adopt a firm handshake, talk in a deep voice and introduce yourself with your first and last name.

Lange advised wearing a suit out of respect for the job and to be taken seriously.

“You need the uniform,” she said.

Most people at Wednesday’s forum said they are not planning a run in this year’s civic election — at least not yet.

“I don’t think I’d per se run in this election,” Galbraith said. “Maybe down the road.”

Asked what they took away from the event, one woman said she was discouraged by money councillors invested in their own campaigns, while another said she would like to see women of colour also represented in municipal politics.

Others left with notes and promoted a future event to keep the momentum going (the Kamloops and District Labour Council is offering candidate training on June 23 at Hotel 540.).

“I thought it was a great way for women to help support women coming onto council and helping to make Kamloops a better place,” Brandy Coull told KTW.

offer tips for anyone mulling a run.

They talked about championing passion projects and losing friends over decisions made around the horseshoe at city hall, along with how they gained a wellrounded education and how long it takes to get things done.

“You’re turning an awfully big ship,” Lange said.

Katie Neustader, who said she is considering running for school board, asked if the women had different experiences from their male counterparts.

Sinclair noted comments during the byelection campaign about being the “Pollyanna vote” and Lange recalled feeling she was viewed early in her political career as the “silly girl.” She said she has since found her place and respect.

“You have to earn that,” Lange said.

Caroline King, who ran in last year’s byelection and plans on running for council again on Oct. 20, asked Lange about impacts on her kids. Calling herself a role model to them, Lange said her daughters are proud of her, despite the odd occasion when angry residents would show up at her business.

Scheduling demands and low wages were identified as barriers to running and campaign tips were provided.

Bepple stressed the importance of media training (clear public speaking and focused messaging) and attending council meetings. Sinclair encouraged a team of

Venture Kamloops getting hot-boxed POTENTIAL POT PURVEYORS HAVE INTEREST IN SELLING MARIJUANA JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Venture Kamloops has seen an influx of people seeking business advice with impending legalization of recreational marijuana.

“It’s created a tonne of traffic,” Venture Kamloops executive director Jim Anderson told city council on Tuesday.

Since March, Anderson said, six or seven first-time local entrepreneurs have expressed interest in opening recreational retail shops in Kamloops.

“If there’s 20 [recreational cannabis stores allowed under City of Kamloops bylaws] or whatever the number that’s being thrown around, we’re looking at seven people,” Anderson told reporters.

“And these are only the people who have talked to us, seven people who have never been in business before want to open a shop.

“We’re approaching half of all the available spots.”

Venture Kamloops is working with those entrepreneurs, but phones at the office have also been ringing with others simply thinking about the idea of opening a marijuana store.

“It becomes very much, here’s the information you need. You need to do some homework,” Anderson told council.

Noting it is rare for an entire new sector to be developed, Anderson said the number of entrepreneurs seeking advice is significantly higher than what Venture Kamloops would typically see in any one sector at any one time.

“We may get a sports shop, we may get a food distributor,” he said.

Anderson noted there are still many unknowns when it comes to impending regulations.

He said entrepreneurs are keeping an eye on the headlines and seeking guid-

ance as the rules continue to be unveiled.

Venture Kamloops recently put out a request for proposals for an economist to conduct an economic study on the impact of all business sectors in the city, which will include recreational marijuana.

That information is due out this fall.

As of now, that impact has yet to be forecast.

“We cannot say,” Anderson said. “We do not know.”

The federal government plans to legalize recreational marijuana by the fall.

Each province will determine how and where it is sold.

In B.C., the government will allow its sale in public and private stores, but not in liquor stores.

In Kamloops, such stores must be a certain distance from schools and day cares and at least 100 metres from other pot shops.

SAFE SUPPORTS IN A HECTIC WORLD

K

ids these days.

None of us adults truly know what it’s like to grow up in a society so rapidly changing, and not always for the better. Technology, violence, gender, sexuality, drugs — they’re all out in the open like never before.

Is it any wonder the province has launched a series of health centres, offering an umbrella of services for youth, with a specific focus on mental health?

Our children and teens are spending more time on screens than we ever thought would be humanly possible. Photos and memes and gifs and tweets go whizzing by at break-neck speed, wreaking havoc in even the most stable of minds.

We learned long ago about the impact devices were having on our mental health, so it can’t be surprising statistics of youth depression, anxiety and suicide are rising. Information overload is real. Pressure to compete in an increasingly competitive world is real.

We’re teaching our young women to stand up for themselves, to dream bigger, and we’re teaching our young men to open up emotionally, while taking responsibility for their actions.

And we’re teaching our gender-questioning youth to be themselves.

It’s a lot to digest at 40 or 50 years old, let alone at 18 — and it’s got to be tough for the average middle-schooler.

Exposing our youth to the truth of the world at an earlier age is a progressive ideal and one that seems to be working as we see a generation emerging that is more open, accepting, insightful and confident.

But it’s important to remember they need a solid foundation from which to launch into the unknown and a safe space to return to when their questions get too heavy.

Not making these preventative support systems accessible to everyone is where we went wrong in the first place.

Energized and saddened

O

ut of interest — and looking for a column idea — I dropped into Wednesday night’s session designed for women who are thinking about running for city council.

When it was done, I left both energized by the turnout and interest being shown and saddened by how often hurdles women face were mentioned, but not actually confronted.

In fact, in a couple of cases, it felt like the undercurrent was “this is how it has always been and always will be.”

My mantra since I was a child has always been one familiar to many — be the change you want to see.

So, for example, when Coun.

Tina Lange advised the two-dozen people sitting in city hall to always wear a jacket so they look professional, it was sad. It may be true — but it will always be true as long as women continue to buy into it.

She continued, pointing out male senior city staff sometimes go to work in casual pants and a golf shirt, but they always go to formal council meetings in shirts and ties.

That makes sense because the key word there would be “formal.” That’s the time for the big show and it’s important to look the part. But to hear Lange say women need to “play the part” — in essence, mimic the male look in order to be taken seriously — was not the message I wanted to hear.

Former councillor Nancy Bepple, who joined Lange and

DALE BASS Street

LEVEL Coun. Kathy Sinclair to give the presentation, continued with a stereotype that won’t be broken until women break it.

She talked about how, after a meeting, a couple of the “guys” will go to the bar and talk, but women can’t do that. Women have to find our own way to socialize, she said.

Nonsense. If we think we belong somewhere, we need to go there. If we don’t, we’ll always be unwelcome.

One of the attendees said she wasn’t sure about the gender issue; she thinks the best minds should be elected.

What does that look like? Who are the best people and what are the best minds? If they’re all the same, then it’s easy, but the reality is everyone brings unique talents, viewpoints and skills to a job and we need all of them.

I’ve found through years of volunteering in Kamloops that women are often the ones who will be willing to push harder for projects, ideas and causes they believe in because of the hard wiring we have to be nurturers

and comforters.

Yes, that’s a stereotype, but for many of us, it’s also true.

Does the compassionate mind equal the strong financial mind? Does the willing-to-trysomething-new equal the history-shows-this-to-be-best mind?

My life has been blessed with strong, engaged women who are role models. The most important one to me is Grace Hartman, the first woman in North America to head a major labour union. I knew Hartman and her family well and learned so much from her.

One thing I learned is that if you believe in something, you fight for it. Hartman and others believed in the rights of women at a time when they were making half the wage of a man. They fought for what became a royal commission on the status of women.

She helped start the long fight for pay equity.

I also saw family friend Jane Bigelow elected mayor of my hometown in the 1970s. She was a powerhouse of a politician.

Perhaps I find it somewhat offensive to hear that women can’t go to the bar with a man after a meeting and that we need to always dress like a man in order to be taken seriously.

Maybe what we need is what these three created the event to encourage.

We need to see more women getting involved in municipal government and claiming their spot because of their qualifications — and nothing else. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

NO JUSTICE IN JASON GOURLAY SENTENCING Editor: Re: (‘Father of hit-and-run victim decries sentence,’ May 30): It is no wonder criminals think crime pays when a judge can choose to let them off with a slap on the wrist for their crimes.

The case of Jason Gourlay shows there is a small price to pay for all the pain and suffering the Gatey family has to go through.

When are criminals going to be held accountable for their choices to do criminal activites?

Better yet, when are judges going to do their jobs and stand up for the people of Canada who choose to abide by those laws?

If I was an RCMP officer, I would not waste my time arresting a criminal, only to have a judge slap them on

the wrist and let them go.

How could Justice Heather MacNaughton think a 10-month sentence for such a terrible crime be suitable?

The family of Jennifer Gatey does not get back time-and-a half of their daughter’s life.

Where is the justice in this case?

Terry Hudson Kamloops

ASININE SENTENCE NEEDS TO BE USED TO CHANGE THE LAW Editor: Re: (‘Father of hit-and-run victim decries sentence,’ May 30): I would like to start with the emotions felt: shame, embarrassment, anger, empathy, outrage, confusion, disappointment and so much more after hearing about the sentencing of Jason Gourlay.

Whether Justice Heather MacNaughton’s hands were tied

by Criminal Code laws or the defence played the game, I am embarrassed and angry to see our system allows a morally inept human being to receive such a lenient sentence.

The family and friends of Jennifer Gatey deserve so much more than this ridiculous sentence, which sends the wrong message in so many ways.

The life of a loved one is, as we know, priceless.

The despicable, immoral and cowardly act committed by Gourlay and the asinine sentencing need to be studied and used to change laws.

As a father of a young daughter, I offer my deepest sympathy to the Gatey family.

As a father of a young daugh-

ter, I am angry and bitter at the system that has failed to do justice.

Shame on the laws, on the court system and, especially, on Gourlay for the selfish choices he made.

The man, and the severity of his sentence, is a disgrace.

Couple found not guilty of assaulting Kamloops Mountie TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Calling the dramatic story of a Kamloops police officer “troublesome,” a provincial court judge on Wednesday found a married couple not guilty of charges of assaulting a peace officer stemming from an altercation early last year.

Olive and Mark Klassen were charged following an incident at their Westsyde home on Feb. 18, 2017. Olive Klassen had called 911 to report what she believed to be a gas leak, but her cordless phone died before she could convey her message to the operator, prompting a police response.

At trial, Olive Klassen claimed to have been the victim of a brutal assault at the hands of two RCMP constables — an incident she said “totally blew [her] image of cops” and has caused her to feel anxious and wet herself when she sees an officer in uniform.

On the day of the incident, a chemical discharge at the Domtar pulp mill led to a rash of odour complaints.

Kamloops RCMP Const. Lane Tobin testified he arrived at the scene and advised the Klassens of the source of the smell, but said “things didn’t add up” for him.

“I told them I needed to check their trailer to make sure nothing was going on,” he said in court on March 1, the first day of the Klassens’ trial.

Court heard Olive Klassen advised Tobin to stay out of the trailer because of a possible gas leak and an altercation ensued. Tobin claimed he arrested Olive Klassen after she assaulted her husband outside their trailer — an assertion Kamloops provincial court Judge Chris Cleaveley found to be untrue.

Olive Klassen was put in handcuffs fol-

lowing a physical struggle with Tobin.

She testified he choked her and said she believed she would die. She added that she was stomped on by another officer at the Kamloops RCMP detachment.

Tobin said he was “exhausted” after the altercation with the 51-year-old woman, but Cleaveley said that testimony was “exaggerated.

“There was no basis on which Const.

Tobin could arrest Ms. Klassen,” Cleaveley said, describing the officer as “exceeding his authority.”

Court heard Tobin pushed Klassen down the steps of her front porch during her arrest, something defence lawyer Jay Michi called “a gross use of force.” Klassen said Tobin called her “trailer trash” and claimed he told her he was “trained to kill and that’s what I want to do.”

“It was horrible,” she said. “It was absolutely horrible. I still don’t understand it.”

During cross-examination, Crown prosecutor Adrienne Murphy suggested to Olive Klassen it can be difficult to be “dealt with” by police.

“No,” Klassen replied. “No, it is not.

A police officer? No. There’s a difference between a police officer and what he was that night.”

During the Klassens’ trial, court heard testimony from Tobin and two other RCMP officers, as well as Olive Klassen and deputy sheriff Rhonda Anderson.

Anderson said the Klassens arrived at the Kamloops courthouse days after the incident with Tobin hoping to speak with a lawyer. Olive Klassen became extremely upset when she saw Anderson in her uniform and fell to the floor, wetting herself.

Court heard Anderson changed into street clothes and comforted Klassen, offering her a change of clothes.

“I asked her to trust me, saying I was

here to help her,” Anderson said. “I wasn’t here to make things worse for her.”

Anderson said she saw signs of injury on Klassen’s body while the woman was changing.

“While in the washroom, she lifted her shirt, showing me bruises on her body,” Anderson said, describing the injuries as covering Klassen’s back, arms and waist.

“I’ve never had an incident like this in my 20 years where I’ve taken off my uniform to interact with someone.”

Michi asked Cleaveley to accept Olive Klassen’s evidence over that of Tobin.

“Otherwise, you’re left with a 51-yearold woman with no criminal record attacking a police officer,” he said, calling the interaction “brutal.”

“Or you’re left with a police officer who is used to dealing with difficult people … and when you’re a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Ms. Klassen looked, to him, like a nail. Did he go overboard? I think he did. That all makes sense. What Const. Tobin says does not make sense. I wish that’s not the case, but it is.”

Cleaveley said he found Olive Klassen’s testimony more credible than that of Tobin, whose credibility he described as “troublesome.”

Olive Klassen cried in court during Wednesday’s verdict. Outside the courtroom, her husband said she still struggles with anxiety when she sees police.

“She still wakes up with nightmares, she still carries another pair of pants with her for when she sees a cop because she can still pee herself,” Mark Klassen told KTW. Olive Klassen said she smiled at her husband when Cleaveley announced his not-guilty finding.

“I think the truth wins,” she said. “And I thank God. Every day it’s hard when I see cops. I love good cops, but I don’t know.”

10 months for stealing clothing MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

A middle-aged man who pleaded guilty to — but couldn’t remember — sneaking into his stepdaughter’s home to steal her underwear will spend the next seven-and-a-half months behind bars.

The female, who is in her early 20s, cannot be named due to a court-ordered publication ban and the name of her stepfather is also being withheld to protect her identity.

In Kamloops Supreme Court on Tuesday, Justice Bruce Butler sentenced the man to 10 months in prison, less time served, for a burglary he committed in Kamloops three years ago.

Crown prosecutor Camille Cook had sought 12 months in jail, along with two years’ probation, while defence lawyer Eric Rines sought five months and an 18-month probation order.

In making his decision, Butler noted this was “this is not a usual break-and-enter case, it was a targeted violation.”

The 54-year-old stepfather pleaded guilty to breaking into the young woman’s home through a window in April of 2015 while she

was out of the house. He rummaged through all of her dresser drawers and a laundry basket of clean clothes, taking her undergarments, bathing suits and other items of clothing, Butler said in reading the circumstances of the case.

According to the victim’s impact statement, the value of the clothing taken was about $2,000.

In addition to the theft, the stepfather left a sexually explicit note on his stepdaughter’s bed, which she found when she returned home. She initially did not know the author’s identity.

After noticing her belongings had been rummaged through, the woman called her mother and they called the police.

Cook said the handwriting was believed to be that of the stepfather and the stepdaughter told officers the next day of an “odd encounter” with the accused several months before, when he had been sexually inappropriate with her.

A sexual assault charge the stepfather was facing for that separate incident was stayed

by Crown after he pleaded guilty to stealing her clothes. Fingerprints lifted from the note matched the stepfather’s and he was arrested

and charged.

Upon his arrest, police noticed the man was wearing women’s underwear, which was identified as belonging to his stepdaughter, but he denied any involvement in the burglary.

Butler said the case involved an element of a breach of trust by a family member, noting the woman regarded the man as a father figure and became embarrassed and fearful following the incident, causing her to quit her job and move away.

In a pre-sentence report, the stepfather said he probably went into “autopilot mode,” claiming if the burglary and theft did happen on that day, it was during the autopilot mode that he committed the offence.

Defence lawyer Rines said his client identifies with having a number of physiological conditions and believes they create problems when it comes to his decision-making and memory.

While sentenced to 10 months, the stepfather will have 2.4 months shaved off due to 48 days of time served in pre-trial custody, which is calculated at 1.5 days per day spent behind bars awaiting trial. Conditions of his probation includes attending counselling and having no contact with his stepdaughter.

Y

ears in municipal politics prepared Peter Milobar for the workload, public scrutiny and players he would encounter in Victoria during his first year as MLA. Playing hockey didn’t hurt, either.

“Everyone on the team had roles and things to do, depending on the game and the situation,” he said. “You embrace that.”

What role has the rookie embraced on the Liberal squad? Offence — right wing, no less — but some may argue enforcer.

The former Kamloops mayor turned provincial politician was elected last May to replace the outgoing Terry Lake (also a former mayor) for Kamloops-North Thompson.

Milobar spent 18 days in government before it fell, thrusting the first-time MLA onto the Opposition as the B.C. Liberals’ 16-year-reign came to an end.

Milobar said he has benefitted from coming in during a time of change as Liberals who spent their entire careers in government were forced to make adjustments.

In the past year, he labelled Minister of Agriculture Lana Popham the “minister of intimidation” for serving notice to a fishfarming company on Vancouver Island.

He questioned the role B.C. Environment Minister George Heyman played in stock market activity ahead of a public announcement about the proposed Trans Mountain pipeline expansion. He criticized B.C.’s decision to ban grizzly bear hunting.

Then there was the meal-allowance bill, which took aim at MLAs who live in Victoria — none of whom happen to be Liberals.

“I just thought I’d throw it out there for discussion,” Milobar said. “It is what it is.

“The government, it would be highly unlikely they’re going to call the bill forward for a vote. Last I checked, we’re in opposition.

“We’re supposed to be questioning things, we’re supposed to be putting things out there

Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Peter Milobar: ”This is a very non-partisan office that works for helping people, regardless of what their own political view is or what my own personal political view is.”

for the public to contemplate.”

Milobar is environment and climate change critic in the shadow cabinet. He also sat on finance and Crown corporation select standing committees. He criticized the lack of revenue neutrality in a four-year carbon tax increase and questioned whether revenues are helping to balance the budget.

“The intent, I think, is supposed to be to help incentivize people and industry to get more efficient, move things forward,” Milobar said. “We’re not seeing a spend to match the revenues coming in as we saw before. That’s a big concern.”

Comparing his new and old jobs, Milobar said there’s less flexibility as MLA compared to mayor. His schedule is regimented around the legislature and committees and he juggles time between Kamloops and Victoria, meaning he sees less of wife Lianne.

“Mayor was probably close to 50 to 60 hours a week,” he said. “[Opposition] MLA is probably closer to the 50 range.”

When the legislature is in session, he flies to Vancouver Island Sunday nights and returns to Kamloops late Thursdays. He stays in a hotel near Parliament and eats out — a point he insists does not conflict with his meal bill because he’s from out of town.

“I have a bar fridge in my room. There’s not a microwave,” he said.

“You know, you’re allowed to claim up to $61 per day. I do the same as I did when I was mayor. If I was in a conference, if I consumed a meal I didn’t have to pay for, I don’t claim that day.”

Some things in the past year have surprised him, including how many hours are spent physically inside the legislature. MLAs arrive between 8 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. each morning and don’t leave until about 7 p.m.

“If you leave the walls, even to go out on, say, the lawn on a nice sunny day, you can’t hear the bells ring if there’s a vote,” he said.

“So you’re literally inside the building.”

Back in Kamloops, days are spent working for constituents at his Tranquille Road office. He works closely with KamloopsSouth Thompson MLA Todd Stone and called the partnership “effective.”

He said many files have been resolved in the past year.

“Once the election is over, it’s over,” Milobar said.

“This is a very non-partisan office that works for helping people, regardless of what their own political view is or what my own personal political view is.”

Pausing with Peter to take political pulse Q: Nicest NDP politician?

A: “I’m not going to start singling one out over the other.”

Q: Wittiest MLA overall?

A: “In terms of unexpected kind of commentary, sometimes I’d have to say Ralph Sultan [Liberal, West VancouverCapilano] tends to get some pretty good lines in there, when he gets up to speak.”

Q: Loudest MLA overall?

“Probably the most loud and aggressive when it comes to question-period heckling would be [Green Leader] Andrew Weaver.”

Q: Quietest MLA overall?

A: “Oh, there’s a lot that fit that.”

Q: NDP, Green and Liberal MLAs with whom you would like to have dinner?

A: “Wilkinson on our side. A Green? Probably [Adam] Olsen. And a [New] Democrat? Probably Leonard Krog.

“Olsen, I haven’t had a chance to get to meet very much.

I think he’s got some interesting ideas from time to time …

“Krog, I think, has been vastly under-utilized by the NDP and has a lot of experience and depth of knowledge … “[Wilkinson], he’s obviously our leader.

“All three of them I’ve selected probably have a similar intellectual way of looking at things, so I think it would be an interesting comparison of ideas and thoughts.”

Jeremy Heighton, North Shore Business Improvement Association executive director: “I find Peter open to the conversation and open to exploring opportunities for us in Kamloops as a whole and North Shore, as well.

“What I do find is I think Peter is really building his relationships at the provincial level and I think it’s good he’s got Todd [Stone] here to help him sort of chart that new course for himself.

“I think, really, the question is what does that look like over the next little while and how does he grow into his role? That I can’t tell you, I really don’t know. But I can tell you he’s been open, receptive JEREMY HEIGHTON and positive with us.

“Generally speaking, our membership are receptive to Peter representing them. He’s got a long history with the city and he’s well connected within the city. People are positive about that. I think, like all things, when you’re in opposition there’s a difference than when you’re sitting in power.

“How do you work those connections? That will be proven over the next little while.”

Barb Nederpel, Kamloops-North Thompson NDP candidate in May 2017: “Well, he’s in the opposition government, so his job is to criticize and that is what he does — except when it comes to his shadow cabinet.

“He’s the environment critic, but we never hear him defending the environment. Other than that, all we hear from him either in the region or in the legislature is his attempts to lay 16 years of failed B.C. Liberal policy at the feet of the current government.

“His private member’s bill about MLA [meal] allowances for those who live in Victoria is BARB completely hypocritical.

NEDERPEL “As far as I know, he has never turned down a taxpayerpaid meal as mayor and it was OK for the Liberal MLAs when they lived in Victoria, but this is the sort of legislation he wants to focus on.

“The biggest issue I heard over and over again during our campaign was our doctor shortage. We campaigned on building a primary, team-based, urgent-care centre in Kamloops and, once elected, the B.C. NDP got busy making it a reality. This clinic will go a long way to give people of Kamloops, whether or not they have a doctor, access to health care when they need it.

“Yet we don’t hear anything positive from Peter about it.”

Counsellors at Clearwater school after death CLEARWATER TIMES

Grief counsellors are at an elementary school in Clearwater this week to help students, staff and parents deal with the death of a Grade 3 pupil.

The Clearwater RCMP is investigating after the nine-year-old cyclist died after colliding with a semi-trailer.

The boy was riding his bicycle near the intersection of Park Drive and Clearwater Village Road on Tuesday at 8:45 a.m. when it appears he was unable to slow down his bicycle.

The boy went off the road and collided with a semi-truck, which was travelling southwest on Clearwater Village Road The boy was thrown from his bicycle.

Several witnesses, including an off-duty RCMP member, quickly gave first aid to the boy.

Paramedics arrived within minutes and transported the boy to the local hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.

“This is a tragic incident for our community,” said Clearwater RCMP Sgt. Grant Simpson.

“Support is being provided to all those who

have been impacted by this incident”.

Simpson said charges are not being considered.

Lori Bradstock, principal of Raft River elementary, said nothing was shared with students in the hours after the death because RCMP were still trying to notify family members.

Bradstock said counsellors will support students who were given the news on Wednesday morning, noting the counselling team will also offer guidance to parents if they need help discussing the death with their children.

Cavers calls for airquality monitors in Kamloops facilities JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

As fire season rears its head, a city councillor wants PurpleAir air-quality monitors installed at municipal facilities throughout Kamloops.

Donovan Cavers made the notice of motion on Tuesday and it will be debated at council’s next meeting on June 12.

The motion calls for staff to work with local suppliers of PurpleAir, funded from council’s contingency budget to a maximum of $2,000.

It comes after extreme smoke in Kamloops last year from wildfires in

Interior B.C. that raised health concerns among residents.

“I was following it [PurpleAir monitors] last year and I found it really useful,” Cavers told KTW. Some residents have installed PurpleAir monitors at their homes.

Cavers said the province has two monitors in Kamloops. He sees a gap in monitoring and said provincial data could be more accessible.

“These give quick, real-time information to people,” he said.

Cavers priced out the monitors with a supplier at about $250. He would like to see a half-dozen at places like McArthur Island.

Walsh wants earlier look at agendas JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops city councillor wants council agendas to be released earlier.

Denis Walsh has made a notice of motion requesting agenda packages be released on Wednesdays instead of Fridays.

That would essentially give council, the public and media almost a full week to digest meeting packages before decisions are made around the horseshoe at city hall.

Agendas are currently released on Friday afternoons in advance of council meetings on the following Tuesdays.

“There is a reluctance for council to contact staff for clarification on agen-

da items and issues until the Monday prior to the council meeting, thus leaving only one business day to seek clarification from staff,” the notice of motion states.

Walsh’s motion notes the change would allow for better research and engagement with staff, the public and media.

“Council decisions depend on wellinformed council members who have adequate time to absorb and critically reflect on information, ask questions for clarification, conduct independent research and receive important feedback from residents and the business community,” it states.

The motion will be debated at the next council meeting, which is on June 12.

VK WILL KEEP PITCHING REAL ESTATE Venture Kamloops has promoted real-estate investment in Kamloops for the last two years and sees no sign of slowing.

“We will continue to push that portion of our economy,” Venture Kamloops executive director Jim Anderson told council on Tuesday.

Anderson called real-estate development the biggest and most imminent opportunity for the community.

“The opportunities for developers, the opportunity for population growth, resident attraction,” Anderson said. “They’ve all blended together to make a very, very strong sector and a very, very strong portion of the market for us to speak to when we go out of town.”

Venture Kamloops travels to Vancouver monthly, meeting with real-estate developers and pitching investment in Kamloops. The Lower Mainland focus directly stems from the area’s high housing costs.

“It’s amazingly less expensive to live in Kamloops,” Anderson said. “And, as we all know, it’s a much better place to live anyway. So it’s truly a win-win.”

From city hall to the private sector to enact social change JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

DAVE EAGLES/KTW City of Kamloops social development supervisor Jen Casorso is heading to work in the private sector in Kamloops.

The city’s social-development supervisor is headed to the private sector.

Jen Casorso — the first person to take on the role with the city — has taken on a social-consulting role with Urban Matters (affiliated with Urban Systems) and her final day with the city is on Friday.

“I’m off to activate social change and social-innovation projects, similar to what I do here, to help other communities across Canada,” she told KTW. Through tears at her last council meeting on Tuesday, Casorso expressed gratitude after nearly a decade as a public servant.

“It’s bittersweet,” she said.

“I love this work. I wouldn’t have the career that I have if it wasn’t for working for the City of Kamloops. I told myself I wouldn’t cry, sorry. Anyway, thank you.”

In 2007 and 2008, the city’s social plan was updated and one of the main outcomes was

Casorso’s position, created to implement the plan.

She has held it ever since and the city earlier this year received the 2018 Community Excellence Award for Social Responsibility at the Southern Interior Local Government Association convention.

The city has worked on creating numerous affordable housing projects in the past year and opened a storage facility for the homeless.

“We are going to miss you,” Coun. Tina Lange said at council on Tuesday.

“You have done an exceptional job in your position here at the city and you’ve moved us along, so thank you for that.”

Casorso told KTW her role as a public servant is largely silent.

“Really, the showcase should be on community and their ability to activate some of this stuff. I’m but a facilitator, convenor of that.

I certainly, for me, the systems are complex.

“To try to see simple solutions

that help has been, I think, probably one of the ways I’ve tried to guide community around this work.”

Local governments are limited in their ability to implement social services.

They’re not delegated the authority and rely on the province.

The NDP’s 10-year housing strategy has marked a “significant shift”, Casorso said, but added much social work continues to stem from advocacy.

“That comes with needing political will and so having a really progressive, social council that sees social issues just as much as environmental and economic issues,” she said.

To that end, Casorso praised council and senior administration for embracing the challenging work to improve lives of Kamloops residents.

“Social issues aren’t easy things to have conversations for the most part,” she said.

Casorso’s successor has yet to be named.

The trial of two men accused of firing multiple shots at a group of men in the street who wanted to fight them began this week in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops.

Michael Drynock and Kleon Pop each face a number of charges related to the incident, which took place on a residential street in Merritt on the night of April 22, 2017.

Justice Dev Dley heard from Alex Collins — a witness at the centre of the case — who testified over the course of two days this week.

Court heard Collins, 26, recruited four friends to confront the two men after Drynock sucker-punched him earlier in the day at a house party in the 2500-block of Coldwater Avenue.

Everyone at the party had been drinking and the incident continued outside the home as Collins tried to leave.

Collins testified he said he “was going to come back with my boys and we were going to fight,” which led Pop to pull out what appeared to be a rifle from the trunk of his car, point it at him and reply, “What!

What!”

Collins said Drynock punched him a few more times in the back of the head as he left the party.

Collins said he then went to the home of his friend, Ed, and waited for him to arrive.

Ultimately, Collins, Ed, Ed’s brother and two other men decided to walk back to the party to confront Drynock and Pop. Collins testified his intention was to have a fist fight with Drynock and brought his friends as backup in case any-

one else at the party tried to jump in.

He said they were not carrying weapons, but defence lawyer Richard Kaiser proposed they were, pointing out Collins knew he was returning to a place where there were guns and would know he needed to protect himself.

“It’s how we settle things in Merritt,” Collins said. “We don’t bring guns.”

It was dark by the time the group arrived and began yelling from the street for Drynock and Pop to come outside to fight, Collins testified.

No lights were on in the house, he said, noting he saw the curtains behind the front balcony moving. He said the front door opened a few inches and he saw what he thought was the barrel of a rifle poke out.

“They said, ‘You want this?’

And then the shots started going off,” Collins told Crown prosecutor Laura Drake, adding those words sounded like they came from Kleon Pop, though he admitted he couldn’t see who was holding the gun.

Collins said he heard five or six rifle shots and saw dust kicking up off the road as he ran and slid behind a van parked across the street.

He admitted to the defence he didn’t see muzzle flashes when the shooting began.

After waiting about 15 seconds for the shots to stop,

Collins said he and his friends ran toward Diamond Vale elementary, where the five men made sure no one was injured.

Collins said he then saw two people approaching, who said something to the effect of, “You want us? We’re right here,” adding it sounded as though the pair was reloading.

At that point, Collins said, he ran off by himself.

According to police, Pop and Drynock were arrested at the school without incident.

Kaiser suggested to Collins that he ran because he didn’t want to be found by police because he had a gun.

While he admitted he heard police sirens when he was in the field, Collins said he ran because he heard the reloading sounds.

Collins wasn’t interviewed by the RCMP until four days after the incident, court heard, and initially lied to police about being at the home when the shots were fired. When confronted with evidence by an officer that he was there, Collins gave a second statement.

The trial is scheduled for 12 days and began Monday with the testimony of witnesses, primarily the five complainants from the group that confronted Dryknock and Pop. Dryknock and Pop are facing multiple charges, including intentionally discharging a firearm and being reckless to the lives or safety of other people.

Review of Kamloops firehalls underway JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops Fire Rescue has hired a consultant to study firehalls as the city grows.

“Right now, what we’re conducting is a station-location study, so we’re looking at all the locations of our firehalls,” KFR Chief Mike Adams said.

“That’s looking at the projected growth, not just now, but in the future.”

The study comes in conjunction with the city’s official community plan, KamPlan, which outlines plans for the future of Kamloops, with the population expected to approach

120,000 by 2039.

“In order for us to be able to offer the same level of services throughout the community as the community grows, it’s important we plan in advance so ensure we’re situated to meet those needs,” Adams said.

Adams said he doesn’t know if the study could result in moving or adding firehalls.

“We’re waiting to see,” he said.

“It’s in the hands of the consultants right now. We’ve provided them with all the information we have available to us with response data and community growth. We’ll just see what the results of that are.”

The study is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

Late snow, early heat create mosquito bonanza JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Blame the weather for mosquito bites you’ve been scratching in recent weeks.

BWP Consulting owner Cheryl Phippen said control measures that usually begin in early April were delayed by two to three weeks this year due to late snow.

The region then got an early blast of extreme heat, causing a quick melt and creating prime hatching conditions for skeeters.

“Things moved very, very, very, very quickly,” Phippen said.

The Thompson-Nicola Regional District contracts BWP Consulting for mosquito control in the region. Phippen has done it for two decades. This isn’t the worst year for mosquitoes she can recall — a bad flood year in 1999 hatched more of the insects — but this year is above average in terms of the pesky nibblers.

“Primarily the ones that have been affecting Kamloops right now are the snow-melt mosquitoes,” Phippen said. “There was water seeping out of banks in the grasslands. Not just in ponds, but just coming out of banks. We can’t find everything.”

Those mosquito habitats are tackled first in grasslands around Knutsford, Rosehill, Pinantan, Pritchard, Aberdeen and Dufferin. They are treated

by hand and then via helicopter, which occurred in the first week of May. On the ground, the six-person crew uses backpack blowers — similar to leaf blowers — to administer larvicide via corn granules to the habitats. The active ingredient is a bacteria that causes ulcers in mosquito stomachs to kill them.

“It’s a safe bio-control for all other organisms, including other insects,” Phippen said. “It’s very specific to mosquitoes.”

Flood-water mosquitos are hunted next. As the North and South Thompson rivers rise and seep into fields, mosquito eggs that have been laid in soil hatch and flood water becomes “absolutely loaded with larvae,” Phippen said.

“The eggs are laid in the soil.

It could have been up to 30 years before, but mostly in the last seven years. Those eggs are sitting in the soil and they’re waiting for a flood. As soon as they get wet in a flood, they hatch and start to develop,” Phippen said.

“This year, it just got so smoking hot so fast, the hotter it is, the faster they develop. So we were like freaking trying to catch them all and it’s a 120-kilometre stretch of river, right? And they are developing so fast.”

Phippen said the crew has conducted two full aerial applications of the North Thompson

from Birch Island to Kamloops and spent countless hours of hand-treating trying to keep up with how fast the mosquitoes developed. Her staff has been working from 3 a.m. to 9 p.m. trying to stay on it.

This week, staff has been out again with their backpacks in areas that may have been missed with the helicopter.

“We all had a huge celebration on Saturday when the river peaked and started going back down,” Phippen said. “As long as

it continues to go down, we typically don’t find any larvae again because the water’s not coming up and wetting new eggs. It’s fast and furious when it’s happening and then we get to take a huge deep breath.”

Protect yourself from bites

When Phippen gets calls from residents complaining they’re being eaten alive, she asks: Are you putting on insect repellent?

“If you put Deep Woods Off on, they don’t bite,” Phippen

said. “Anything with DEET.” Products that don’t work, she said, include citronella, Vitamin B, tea tree oil and bug buzzers.

“Just wear the DEET,” she said. “It works. They still will hover around you, but they won’t actually bite you because they can’t find you. A mosquito seeks you by honing in on CO2. It gets closer and closer until they find, all right, there’s something emitting CO2. Insect repellants containing DEET, it masks the smell.”

A creek doesn’t run through it, court rules TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A resident in a rural area southeast of Kamloops has had his appeal to reroute a Barnhartvale creek to his land dismissed by B.C.’s top court.

Michael Lindelauf initially asked for a B.C. Supreme

Court judicial review of a 2013 Ministry of Forests decision to reroute Robbins Creek to an area away from his property.

When that was dismissed, he pleaded his case in front of a three-judge B.C. Court of Appeal panel.

Lindelauf claimed the stream ran through his property since before he purchased it in the mid-1990s, but provincial officials contend the stream’s natural path actually flows

through a different property.

A provincial investigator found an unauthorized diversion during an inspection in 2011, which led to the decision to reroute the stream.

Lindelauf, who represented himself in court, had been claiming fundamental riparian rights to the stream.

Two Kamloops-area schools are among the 10 finalists in this year’s BCAA Play Here initiative that donates up to $300,000 to rejuvenate three play spaces in need.

Pinantan elementary and Cache Creek elementary are among the 10 finalists provincewide seeking votes from the public to finish in the top three of balloting and secure funding to improve playgrounds at the schools.

Full descriptions of why the 10 finalists need play spaced rejuvenated can be found online at bcaaplayhere.com.

Pinantan’s entry reads: “Currently this space is used by the students and community as the playground for our community. Being the only public building in the area other than our general store, this playground services the entire community. Our current structures shown in the video are very old and rusting. A few of the teeter-totters are broken as well.

If we won, we would remove all the unsafe structures and replace them with a large safe playground that all the children could enjoy. Thank you for considering us in your decision.

Cache Creek’s entry reads: “Our school grounds are spacious, but dismally empty. The last updated additions were done 11 years ago and are used during school hours, but not loved or appreciated by the children

or the community members. Our school has been focusing on integrating green initiatives, sustainability and local cultural knowledge into our everyday practices. Initiatives such as gardening, outdoor exploration and learning through play have a key role in this plan. The wide open spaces and blank slate of the school grounds offer huge potential to create diverse and valuable learning and play areas.

We would love to see gardens, fruit trees, spaces for growing and learning about local plants and animals, play spaces that feel and look natural and encourage creative play. Spaces for school children and families to enjoy at all times, not just during the school day.”

British Columbians can vote online for their favourite play space at bcaaplayhere.com, which also includes details about each finalist. The three finalists with the most votes will be awarded a play space revitalization worth up to $100,000 furnished by BCAA. Voting closes on June 17 and the winner will be announced on June 21.

Minimum wage jumps by $1.30 to $12.55 KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

British Columbia’s hourly minimum wage will rise on Friday by $1.30, increasing to $12.65.

The minimum wage rates for liquor servers, resident caretakers and live-in camp leaders will also all increase on Friday.

The increases are the result of recommendations from the independent Fair Wages Commission, established last October.

Friday’s hike is the first of four increases that will take place each June 1 until the hourly minimum wage reaches $15.20 in 2021.

While the general minimum wage rises on Friday by 11.5 per cent to $12.65 per hour, the liquor server minimum wage will jump by 12.9 per cent to $11.40 per hour, an increase of $1.30 per hour. The lower liquor server wage will be eliminated by

2021, at which time it will be the same as the general minimum wage.

Also on Friday, the monthly resident caretaker minimum wage will increase to $759.32 for those who manage from nine to 60 units (plus $30.43 per unit) or $2,586.40 for 61 or more units. Daily live-in camp leader minimum wage will increase to $101.24. The live-in home support worker alternate minimum wage will be eliminated and those workers will now receive the general minimum wage for all hours worked.

In the agricultural sector, farm workers paid by piece rate will see an increase as of Jan. 1, 2019. At that time, there will be an 11.5 per cent hike to all minimum piece rates.

By June 2021, British Columbia’s general minimum wage will rise to at least $15.20 per hour and the separate lower liquor server wage will be eliminated.

Flood threat ends as river levels start to recede Advisories for tributaries in the Kamloops and Cache Creek areas have also ended.

Noting river levels began receding over the past week, the City of Kamloops has decided to reopen the launches at Pioneer Park, on McArthur Island and on Thompson Drive in Valleyview.

Residents are reminded to exercise caution, however, as the water levels remain high.

Idling speeds are recommended to prevent river bank erosion and avoid debris in the river.

The situation will continue to be monitored by the city.

Campbell said there would need to be significant rainfall to pose a flood risk.

Environment Canada is calling for sun and clouds and temperatures in the mid-20s through the weekend.

Dwindling snow packs and stabilization in rivers has occurred throughout the province, Campbell said.

“We’re seeing now in the order of 40 per cent to 100 per cent of the snow pack that we started the season with has now melted. And in many of the sites, even where we had those extremely high snowpacks earlier in the year, we’ve transitioned to well below normal

The flood threat through Kamloops has subsided and boat launches are set to reopen on Friday.

“Broadly speaking, we’re experiencing the peak flows now for the Thompson [watershed] at Kamloops and expect that to drop off in the coming few days here,” head of the B.C. River Forecast Centre David Campbell told reporters in the last scheduled flood update teleconference of the season.

The South Thompson River — which had a snow pack measured at 126 per cent of normal at its peak — is expected to peak this week as inflows into Shuswap Lake have begun to decline.

Campbell said an estimated 40 to 60 per cent of the snow pack for the South Thompson has now melted.

The North Thompson River reached peak flows last week.

A high streamflow advisory remains in place for the South Thompson River and Shuswap Lake, while high streamflow advisories for the North Thompson River and the Thompson River at Spences Bridge have ended.

for this time of year — pretty much across the province,” Campbell said.

He said the flood season is ahead of schedule due to unseasonably high temperatures throughout the month of May that caused rapid snow melt.

The mercury was about five to 10 degrees above average in Kamloops throughout the May

heat wave, reaching into the 30-degree mark. Temperatures have cooled down this week and are more in line with the average highs in the 21-degree mark, according to Environment Canada statistics.

River levels remain high through Kamloops, but measurements taken at the Overlanders Bridge show they are dropping.

The City of Kamloops’ measurements at the nexus of the Thompson twins sat at about 343.4 metres above sea level as of Tuesday.

Levels at that site rose nearly four metres since the start of May, levelling off at about 343.5 metres during the Victoria Day long weekend, increasing again slightly the week after before recently falling off.

Canada responds to U.S. Nicaragua in ferment steel, aluminum tariffs with ‘countermeasures’ of its own OPINION

F

MIKE BLANCHFIELD

CANADIAN PRESS

WASHINGTON — Canada is imposing dollar-for-dollar tariff “countermeasures” on up to $16.6-billion worth of U.S. imports in response to the American decision to make good on its threat of similar tariffs against Canadianmade steel and aluminum.

The tariffs, which apply to a long list of U.S. products that includes everything from flatrolled steel to playing cards and felt-tipped pens, will go into effect July 1, Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland told a news conference on Thursday.

“This is $16.6 billion of retaliation,” Freeland said. “This is the strongest trade action Canada has taken in the post-war era. This is a very strong response, it is a proportionate response, it is perfectly reciprocal. This is a very strong Canadian action in response to a very bad U.S. decision.”

Freeland made the announcement alongside Prime Minister Justin Trudeau following word

from the White House that the U.S. will slap tariffs on Canadian, Mexican and European Union steel and aluminium as of midnight Thursday night.

She called the U.S. measures illegal and counterproductive and both she and Trudeau expressed how hard it is to imagine how Canada could ever be a nationalsecurity threat to an ally as close and important as the United States.

“That Canada could be considered a national-security threat to the United States is inconceivable,” said Trudeau, adding that the people of the U.S. are not Canada’s target and that the federal government would far prefer that its hand not be forced.

Canada, Mexico and Europe had been exempted from import duties of 25 per cent on steel and 10 per cent on aluminum when they were first imposed in March, but those exemptions will expire as scheduled on Friday.

“The government of Canada is confident that shared values, geography and common interests

will ultimately overcome protectionism,” Trudeau said. “We will always protect Canadian workers and Canadian interests.”

Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross confirmed on Thursday that the United States would end the temporary exemption on Canadian, Mexican and European Union steel and aluminum as of midnight, as scheduled.

That means President Donald Trump will be face to face with a number of leaders who have taken retaliatory action against the U.S. when he makes his closely watched Canadian debut at the G7 next week in Quebec.

While the tariffs have had “major, positive effects” on industry jobs and workers, “the Trump Administration’s actions underscore its commitment to goodfaith negotiations with our allies to enhance our national security while supporting American workers,” the White House said in a statement.

Canada, Mexico and Europe had been exempted until June 1 from import duties.

Study recommends reforming bestbefore labels to reduce food waste BOB WEBER

CANADIAN PRESS

Don’t toss that yogurt cup even if it’s a few days past its bestbefore date, says a national study on reducing Canada’s colossal food waste.

The National Zero Waste Council says confusing and unnecessary best-by labels are a major cause of food waste in Canada. “[People] don’t know what they mean,’’ said Denise Philippe, who helped write the report.

“When they see ‘best before’ they think it means if they eat it afterwards, there’s going to be a health problem. That’s not true.’’

Research suggests Canadians are among the biggest foodwasters in the world. A recent study found every Canadian lost or wasted almost 400 kilograms of food a year. A lot of that waste — 47 per cent — happens at home.

The council has been considering how to reduce that waste since 2016. Its work has included 900 submissions from industry groups, governments, organizations and individuals.

Best-before labels emerged as major villains. People assume food past the date on a package is spoiled, Philippe said.

With the exception of products such as eggs, best-before dates refer to food quality, not safety.

Many products that carry the dates don’t even need them, she said.

“That chip might be slightly crispier if you eat it before that date and slightly less crispy if you eat it after. You would be amazed at how long that yogurt lasts.’’

Presentation and language are also ambiguous.

“Consumers have no idea of what it is they’re looking at,’’ Philippe said. “[A product] might say ‘best before 1/3’ and it’s not clear whether that’s January 3rd or March 1st.

“We don’t have clarity around the text that’s being used, the format of the date, the product that it’s stamped on, nor the meaning of the word.’’

That means good food ends up in the kitchen garbage bin and the grocery dumpster.

“Perfectly good pallets of hummus are pulled just before their

best-before date.’’

Canada needs to standardize dates and terms, Philippe suggested. That’s already taking place in Europe and the United States, where labels are beginning to say “use by,’’ “freeze by,’’ or “tastes best by’’ to address safety and quality.

The report makes other recommendations.

It said governments should harmonize rules on food donations and food waste in landfills.

Processors and retailers, where another 30 per cent of waste takes place, need better inventory control, it adds.

Packaging smaller servings for smaller households would help.

So would avoiding consumptionbased marketing such as two-forone sales.

Retailers can market visually imperfect food at a discount.

Unused food can be turned into other items. A British company, for example, brews beer from stale bread.

Business is behind the effort, said Cher Mereweather of Provision Coalition, an association of industry groups that participated in the council’s study.

rom the Ceausescus (overthrown and shot in 1989) to the Mugabes (removed in a non-violent military coup in 2017), husband-and-wife teams running authoritarian regimes seem to have a particularly high casualty rate.

And now it may be the turn of the Nicaraguan team: President Daniel Ortega and his wife, VicePresident Rosario Murillo.

The protests that have convulsed Nicaragua for the past two months were initially triggered by a new five per cent tax on pensions and an equally modest increase in social-security contributions. It was an ill-judged attempt to balance the books on a fairly generous welfare system and the government quickly cancelled the changes once the demonstrations began.

Yet the protests continued and by now there are 90 people dead and almost 1,000 injured.

The great majority of the victims are students and others who have been shot by the police or by gangs linked to the ruling Sandinista party that killed people while the security forces stood back and did not intervene.

It really is about the survival of the Ortega-Murillo regime now — and it is appropriate to call it that, although there are still more or less free elections in Nicaragua.

Ortega is now in his third consecutive term, having removed the two-term limit in the constitution, and the electoral law has been changed to let a presidential candidate win with as little as 35 per cent of the vote.

Indeed, many Nicaraguans believe Ortega and his wife are now in the process of founding an actual dynasty.

“She’s not the vice-president; she’s the co-president,” said Agustín Jarquín, who was once a close political ally of Ortega’s.

And it’s true that Murillo is more likely to make statements on government policy than Ortega himself.

Meanwhile, powerful opponents of the Ortega-Murillo family within the Sandinista party have been systematically weeded out of the government. The supreme court is now stuffed with appointees loyal to the regime. And the Ortegas and their allies have large but ill-defined interests in TV stations, fuel companies and the proposed trans-Nicaragua rival to the Panama Canal.

It’s a strange place for onceradical young revolutionaries like Ortega and Murillo to have ended up. They met in exile in Costa Rica when the ruthless Somoza regime still ruled Nicaragua and rose to prominence together after the Sandinista revolution overthrew the Somozas in 1979.

GWYNNE DYER World

WATCH They served the revolution loyally during the 1980s while the Reagan administration in Washington tried to destroy it using the CIA-backed Contra rebels in a war that killed 30,000 people. Ortega was even elected president in 1984, but then lost the 1990 election to a coalition of opposition parties. He ran for president again in 1995 and in 2000 and lost to the more or less the same conservative coalition both times. It was during this long spell in the wilderness that he gradually realized that his more extreme ideas frightened a lot of people and began to tone them down. It may have been a purely tactical change at first, but if you say something often enough, you may start to believe it.

By the time Ortega returned to power in the 2006 election, he was a changed man. No more Marxist rhetoric and he was now presenting himself as a devout Catholic. After having five children together, he and Murillo finally got married in 2005 — in a Catholic church. And the truth is that he won that election largely thanks to a deal with the powerful Catholic Church that banned abortion in Nicaragua. He has won two more elections since then and would now be classified as a man of the centre-left in most Western countries — pro-welfare state, but procapitalist too.

Many hardcore Sandinistas are scandalized by these developments, but it’s a perfectly normal pattern in the aftermath of a revolution. Major advances in human rights may be preserved, but the ideology is steadily undermined by the stubborn realities of ordinary life.

The social welfare measures introduced by the Sandinistas in the 1980s survive, but Ortega and Murillo are far to the right of where they once were. The suspicion has grown that they are exploiting their political power to build their own business empire.

The protests against them certainly have right-wing support, but it is actually left-wing students who dominate the demonstrations in the streets.

So the Ortegas have probably reached the end of the road.

Nicaragua has not.

Local rockers on a mission to deliver ‘subtle strangeness’ At Mission Dolores plays the Grotto June 17 DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

During a trip to San Francisco, JP Lancaster and his wife found themselves in Mission Dolores Park — 16 acres of green lawns, tall palm trees, sports areas, a playground and offleash dog play areas.

Right next to it, Lancaster said, is an impoverished area — and the juxtaposition of those two extremes

struck him deeply.

It led not only to the name of his band, At Mission Dolores, but instructs in some ways the songs he writes, music he says has pleasant melodies but lyrics that speak about the world today, “about how we’re more connected now than ever before but also more disconnected now than ever before.”

He looks at today’s world for young people and sees one much

different from that he experienced, one he described by recalling a reality his teacher wife mentioned once.

“She said at lunch hour, the building was dead quiet because all the students were on their phones,” Lancaster said. “That’s not what I remember or what you probably remember.”

That doesn’t mean his songs are deeply ponderous. Instead, Lancaster said, “I want

to make popular music that is slightly off-kilter or has some subtle strangeness to it.

“We incorporate a lot of concepts from jazz music — the use of dissonance, odd time signatures, jazz chords

and phrases. I think it makes a very interesting experience for the listener when you combine those elements with an approachable melody and vocal line.”

The band came together in 2015 when

Lancaster started work on his debut, self-titled EP. After recording most of the instruments himself, he brought in others to supplement the work, eventually bringing guitarist and vocalist Jared Doherty and

drummer Jared Wilman on permanently. Bassist Stuart McCallum and keyboardist Maggie Ollek — Lancaster’s wife — joined later.

John Mellencamp coming to Kamloops Singer’s Sad Clowns and Hillbillies tour will arrive at Sandman Centre on Nov. 6

J

ohn Mellencamp is bringing his fall Sad Clowns and Hillbillies tour to Kamloops for a show on Tuesday, Nov. 6, at Sandman Centre.

Tickets go on sale Friday, June 1, at 10 a.m. online at ticketmaster.ca.

The 20-stop Canadian tour follows two sold-out tours in the U.S., which were praised by critics as being some of the long-time rocker’s most authentic concerts of his career.

John Mellencamp’s career in music, spans more than 35 years.

It has seen him transition from pop star to one of the most highly respected singer/songwriters of a generation.

He is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a Grammy winner, a recipient of the John Steinbeck Award, ASCAP Foundation’s Champion Award, The Woody Guthrie Award and Americana Music Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award and more recently, the Founders Award, the top honour assigned by the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers.

Additionally, he will be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame on June 14.

His career highlights include, in 1985, banding together with Willie Nelson and Neil Young, to

create Farm Aid. The social activism reflected in his songs helped catalyze Farm Aid, the concert series and organization that has addressed the struggle of American family farmers for more than 25 years.

John Mellencamp’s album, Sad Clowns & Hillbillies, featuring Carlene Carter, is his 23rd over the course of a remarkable career.

Sad Clowns & Hillbillies returns Mellencamp to the musical eclecticism that is, itself, a reflection of his wide-ranging musings on life and showcases a poet who has used the years between youth and the present day to become an absolute master of songwriting and interpretation.

LOST IN SPACE

N

THE HUSBAND IS TIRED OF MY ROBOT

etflix has renewed the Lost In Space reboot for a second season — and I wonder why.

The word reboot is pretty apt since everything that made the original, which ran 1965 to 1968, so cool, is missing from this version. Consider this: Robot now looks like it belongs in a Predator sequel. Dr. Smith isn’t Dr. Smith but a poseur who ripped off the real Dr. Smith’s jacket as she escaped on the Jupiter. (And for those of you watching, in that premiere of the new series, the actor playing the real Dr. Smith was — wait for it — Bill Mumy, the original Will Robinson.

Molly Parker is sure no June Lockhart — although maybe that’s a good thing because her

Maureen Robinson wife/mom character sure has some brains — but the perils this Lost Family Robinson is enduring just don’t do it for me.

Mind you, I do spend the hours we watch this — husband hasn’t quite decided yet — doing a really mean imitation of that classic line “Danger Will Robinson.”

I think he’s tiring of hearing it.

THE FLORIDA PROJECT

WILLEM DAFOE STARS (RATHER, THE KIDS)

T

he Florida Project is the best movie I’ve seen in recent memory. The story is based around low-income families living in a motel outside Disney World, juxtaposing privileged tourists and Orlando residents who can’t afford housing, let alone visits to the happiest place on earth. The film takes on the perspective of children, who are naive to their situation and find ways to get along in the only ways they know how: conning for ice cream cones, finding places to catch a glimpse of fireworks outside the theme park and running away to friends’ houses to avoid social services. Devoid of any bells and whistles — this movie doesn’t come with any CGI, explosions or heart-throbs — it’s just great storytelling. Pulled on

ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT

L

NOT ENOUGH MONEY IN THE BANANA STAND TO MAKE IT WORK

ooking back, it’s somewhat of a miracle Fox managed the budget to put all of these people into a room together even once: Jeffrey Tambor, Jason Bateman, Jessica Walter, Portia de Rossi, Michael Cera, Will Arnett, Tony Hale, David Cross… the list goes on. It was only possible because when Arrested Development started in 2003, the ensemble cast cost a tiny fraction of what it must now.

But now, when each member of the cast has a major project of their own, even streaming giant Netflix can’t afford to put them all together — but it tried, and that’s one of the problems for the show’s latest season (and its last, for that matter).

In a show featuring actors and

showrunners of this calibre, the use of a green screen shouldn’t be noticeable, but it is. The viewer also shouldn’t look at a character and wonder why their appearance is constantly changing — Portia de Rossi’s Lindsay Bluth comes to mind, and the stubble of Michael Cera’s George Michael Bluth

makes me uncomfortable.

Despite how rough the new seasons and edits have been, there are bright spots. Tony Hale keeps a steady hand — er — with his character Buster Bluth and Alia Shawkat as Maeby Funke is better than she’s ever been.

RAKE IS A SERIES TO BINGE UPON

NEW SEASON COMING FOR AUSTRALIAN ‘MASTERPIECE’

I

n the middle of the winter of 2014, I stumbled upon a Fox TV show called Rake.

It starred Greg Kinnear as Keegan Deane, a lawyer with enough personal problems to represent himself for a lifetime.

He was a thorough mess, owed money to all sorts of miscreants, had a hooker for a girlfriend and was oddly close to his ex-wife.

I loved the show. Naturally,

nobody else did and Fox cancelled it after 13 episodes.

That got me curious and a little online sleuthing led to the discovery the show was a remake of the original Australian version starring Richard Roxburgh as Cleaver Greene.

Similar characters, similar circumstances, different locales.

Unlike the American remake, the Australian original is an

award-winning masterpiece that takes its time to craft quality. Four seasons were produced between 2010 and 2016 and a fifth and final season will arrive this year.

Luckily for us, Rake (the original) is available on Netflix.

Check it out — and find time to binge-watch as the series is superb.

KAMLOOPS HAS PLENTY TO OFFER LOCAL GOLFERS

amloops golf is trending.

The Caddy Shacks quartet — the Kamloops Golf and Country Club foursome of myself, Kamloops Blazers’ media man Tim O’Donovan, Blazers’ play-by-play man Jon Keen and Pineview resident Mike Derzak — decided to play two rounds in Kelowna last weekend.

We hacked it around at Predator Ridge and The Harvest, two courses I’d heard so much about, both held in high regard

across the province.

I certainly wasn’t underwhelmed. Both were formidable tracks (I liked Predator a touch more) and I’d play them again.

But it made me realize what we have here in Kamloops.

Tobiano blows both of them out of the water and, maintenance and condition wise, Rivershore and Kamloops are right on par. I haven’t played anywhere else this season, but I’m sure Bighorn (formerly Sun

Lancaster has local rock lineage From A25

Since then, the band has released two EPs and two singles, receiving positive reviews from indie-music blogs and getting national rotation on college radio stations.

It’s prepping for a June 17 show at The Blue Grotto alongside local musician Abby Wale and her band Bridal Party from Victoria is also on the bill.

Lancaster grew up surrounded by music. His dad was a member of The Undertakers, one of the first rock bands in Kamloops, and for a long time, he thought music was going to be his life.

A scholarship to play football at the University of British Columbia changed that, but while studying there, Lancaster worked part-time at The Media Club, at one time one of the main venues for live music in the city, and he found himself once again drawn into all things music.

That includes running Factotum Cassettes and Oddities, his own record label in Kamloops, and pro-

moting other acts in the area.

As for the music, “we reference some older genres like ‘60s psychedelia or ‘70s yacht rock,” Lancaster said.

“On the one hand, you need to break down the songwriting of textbook examples of the genres, such as The Beatles or Steely Dan, to understand its structure. At the same time, you have to understand what sort of cultural climate those bands existed in and how that played a role in popularizing their music.”

Lancaster acknowledged it’s challenging to replicate “those time periods, but you can be aware of what’s around you in the present. I think today’s society is in a very weird and precarious place.

“Addressing the strangeness of the modern world head-on rather than being complicit with the facade of everything being perfect is a rebellious and interesting act in today’s culture.”

Admission to the show is $10 at the door or $5 in advance online at factotumco.ca. Doors open at 7 p.m. with music starting at 7:30 p.m.

lthough he’s never lived there, Wayne Norton has plenty connections with the East Kootenay community of Fernie.

His grandfather was a miner who lived there, as did his mother and father.

He met his wife there — and it’s been the subject of three books, the most recent garnering him a Lieutenant Governor Community History Award from the B.C. Historical Federation.

Fernie at War: 1914 to 1919 is the story of a community that had “a unique and forgotten history” during the First World War, when it saw recruitment banned because of how it was affecting the economy, yet record numbers of its people still signed up to serve.

It had an internment camp of Germans and Austro-Hungarians but was a multi-ethnic community itself.

Fernie was also the site of the start of the 1919 One Big Union strike, fuelled by frustration of Crowsnest miners — including Norton’s grandfather.

Norton said he learned many of these facts researching earlier books, including Women on Ice: The Early Years of Women’s Hockey in Western Canada.

BRIEFS Tickets on sale for Moscow Ballet Tickets have just gone on sale for the Moscow Ballet’s Great Russian NutcrackerDove of Peace tour, which arrives in Kamloops on Nov. 11.

The dove character has been part of the troupe’s interpretation of the ballet based on the Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky score, replacing the traditional Sugar Plum Fairy. The dove is given to Masha, the young girl whose dream creates the story, and it is central to the opening of the second act.

There are two performances scheduled, a matinee at 1 p.m. and an evening performance at 5 p.m. at Sagebrush Theatre.

Tickets range in price from $28 to $178.

They will be available at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kamloopslive.ca.

Air Guitar Championships

That book, the hockey book and Kamloops History: Fiction, Facts and Fragments will be available when Norton returns to the city where he taught for years for a book signing at Chapters bookstore on Hillside Drive.

While many of his books deal with history — “I spend too much time in archives” — when he taught in Kamloops from 1977 to 2003, “I was known as Mr. Special Ed,” working with special-needs students from kindergarten to Grade 12. He also taught history and to Grade 12 students during his career.

He’ll be at the bookstore on Thursday, June 7, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.

The Air Guitar B.C. Championships will be held in Kamloops on Friday, June 8, at The Stage House Theatre, 422 Tranquille Rd. The event, sponsored by Infernol Art Productions and Chimera Theatre, will see proceeds generated go to Right To Play, a charity that provides for youth in sport and music.

To enter, go online to airguitarcanada. org. Entrants must be 19 years of age or older. Prizes will be awarded.

The B.C. champion will move on to the national level in Toronto on July 14; the winner there will then head to the world championship in Finland.

The current provincial champion is Kamloopsian Aaron Shufletoski, who came in second at the Canadian championship last year.

“This event is so much fun,” said Shufletoski. “Literally anyone can participate, all you have to do is let the music go through you. If you want a chance to watch first before trying, there is a brave souls round, which is basically air guitar karaoke, and it can still get you in the finals.”

Tickets are $11 and available online at chimeratheatre.com.

Wearable art

Local artist Kristina Benson has created a line of wearable art to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Kamloops Arts Council.

Part of the proceeds from sale of the tank tops, headbands, leggings and tote bags will go back to the council to support its community arts programs.

Comic Samantha Bee apologizes to Ivanka Trump for ‘inappropriate and inexcusable’ slur DAVID BAUDER

ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Samantha Bee apologized to Ivanka Trump and viewers on Thursday for using an obscenity to describe her on a segment of her TBS comedy show.

Bee said her language was “inappropriate and inexcusable.

“I crossed a line, and I deeply regret it,’’ she said.

Bee called Ivanka Trump a “feckless c---’’ toward the end of a segment about President Trump’s immigration policies on her show, Full Frontal, on Wednesday. She used the slur in urging Ivanka Trump to speak to her father

about policies that separate children from their parents.

Bee said, “Put on something tight and low-cut and tell your father to f---ing stop it.’’

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders called Bee’s language “vile and vicious’’ and said executives at TBS and corporate parent Time Warner needed to demonstrate that such explicit profanity about female members of the administration would not be condoned.

TBS issued its own statement saying Bee was right to apologize.

“It was our mistake, too, and we regret it,’’ the network said.

Nothing was said about whether

Bee or the show would face disciplinary action.

Coming two days after ABC cancelled Roseanne following a racist tweet about former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett, Bee’s remark was immediately seized upon by conservatives who believe that offensive language by liberals is not viewed as harshly.

Ari Fleischer, former White House press secretary under President George W. Bush, tweeted that there’s a double standard in action when you compare the mainstream media’s reactions between the two events.

“There’s no uprising against Bee,’’ Fleischer wrote. “Why?

Because she is a liberal. Because the MSM protects Obama and his aides, but not Trump. The hypocrisy is sickening.’’

Bee, formerly at The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, got her own show at TBS and it’s one of the network’s biggest successes.

Bee’s commentary is likely to be a corporate headache. Time Warner, which owns channels including TBS, CNN and HBO, is in the process of being acquired

by AT&T for $85 billion.

The Justice Department has sued to block the deal, however, due to monopoly concerns, and a decision on whether or not it will proceed is expected June 12.

Spotify CEO says anti-hate playlist rolled out wrong ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Spotify’s CEO says the company rolled out its new anti-hate policy in the wrong way.

This month the streaming service announced it would remove R. Kelly and rapper XXXtentacion’s music from its playlists, citing the

new policy on hate content and hateful conduct.

While some praised Spotify for its bold move, others criticized the company for singling out particular artists, and requested Spotify also apply the rules for others who have been charged sexual misconduct and violence.

arts&entertainment Tom Thomson sketch discovered in Edmonton basement sells for $481K at auction in Toronto

kamloopsthisweek.com @kamthisweek

CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — A Tom Thomson painting that was given away as a gag gift just months ago fetched $481,250 on Wednesday night at the Heffel Fine Art Auction House semi-annual auction in Toronto.

Until recently, Sketch for Lake in Algonquin Park was collecting dust among a pile of artworks in Glenna Gardiner’s Edmonton basement.

The 71-year-old retired nurse said she used to laugh off her late father’s claims that the painting was created by Thomson, often considered the forefather to the Group of Seven.

The work’s origins became a running joke between Gardiner and a longtime friend, who insisted it was authentic, leading Gardiner to present it as a gag gift.

The two brought it to Heffel Fine Art Auction House for

appraisal, where experts verified its pedigree and valued the sketch at between $125,000 and $175,000.

The two friends will be taking a Mediterranean cruise with the profits, Heffel said in a release.

Wednesday’s auction of 118 works — which raised a total of $14.1 million — included pieces

by Paul-Emile Borduas, whose 1956 masterpiece Figures schematiques led the auction by fetching

$3.6 million — an auction record for the artist.

Morning, Lake Superior by Group of Seven founder Lawren Harris sold for $1.1 million — far above the pre-sale estimate of between $100,000 and $150,000.

The small work is described as a preparatory sketch for a pivotal canvas by the artist, hanging in the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.

Other Group of Seven paint-

kamloopsthisweek kamloopsthisweek

ings offered in the auction included A.J. Casson’s Farmhouse Near Wingle.

The canvas also sold well over the pre-sale estimate at $541,250 (est. $150,000 to $250,000).

Other highlights include Strawberry, a large-scale canvas

by Jack Bush, which set an artist record by selling for $691,250.

Two works by Quebec-born Jean Paul Lemieux sold at above pre-sale estimates.

Drake claims Pusha T used blackface photo out of context ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Drake claims rival rapper Pusha T used a blackface photo out of context.

Pusha T released The Story of Adidon on Tuesday and the artwork featured Drake in blackface.

Drake posted on his Instagram stories on Wednesday night that the image was not from a clothing brand shoot or his music career.

Drake said the picture was from 2007, when he was an actor working on a project that was about young black actors struggling to get roles.

He said the photo represented how blacks were once “wrongfully portrayed in entertainment.’’

The rap stars renewed their feud last week with the release of Pusha T’s new album. In his song Infrared, Pusha T accuses Drake of using a ghostwriter.

Cruise wrote: “#Day 1 of production of Top Gun: Maverick.’’

The movie is scheduled for release in July 2019.

Classic hymns of the Places of Worship faith keep us singing songs with our Lord KAMLOOPS

ALLIANCE CHURCH

200 Leigh Road (250) 376-6268

S

o what do Elvis Presley, Avril Lavigne, Katy Perry and Alice Cooper have in common?

They all developed their singing voices in church.

When you think about it, church singing is really the only regular formal singing venue for ordinary folks (i.e. not part of a choir) to exercise their voices in music.

Elvis, for example, attended the Assembly of God church in Tupelo, Miss., and was later greatly influenced by gospel singers Jake Hess and Sister Rosetta Sharp.

In fact, all the Grammy Awards won by Elvis were for his gospel music. I recall seeing a documentary in which some of his former bandmates complained about Elvis expecting them to join him in singing gospel as a way to unwind after a concert (they were tired from performing and just wanted to head back to their hotel rooms).

Singing hymns has always been a part of the Christian sacred tradition. The Gospel of Matthew records that it was one of the last things Jesus and his disciples did before his betrayal in the Garden of Gethsemane: “When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.”

The Book of Psalms contains 150 hymns.

Psalms were intended to be sung and, in the Catholic church, they still are, at every mass.

But there are thousands of hymns that have been written and even non-church people are familiar with the main ones.

Amazing Grace is probably the best-known example. It was written by John Newton and published in 1779. Newton was an Anglican minister, but prior to his religious conversion, he was a slave trader. He was continually amazed at how far he had come, from a life of shame and sin, into one of grace, as verse one shows: “Amazing grace, how sweet the sound/That saved a wretch like me, “I once was lost, but now am found/Was blind, but now I see.”

The message of the song — that anyone, no matter his wretched condition, can be redeemed — is one that has endured for more than two centuries. One Newton biographer has estimated Amazing Grace is performed 10-million times per year. There have been more than 7,000-plus versions of it recorded, including by major stars like Elvis, Johnny Cash, Aretha Franklin, Rod Stewart and Willie Nelson.

A personal favourite of mine is It Is Well With My Soul by Horatio Spafford (1876). What many don’t know, however, are the circumstances behind the writing of this hymn.

Spafford, a successful lawyer, had already faced significant tragedy, first with the death of his two-year old son due to illness, then huge financial losses in the great Chicago fire of 1871, where he had invested heavily in real estate.

He decided to take a break from his business woes and sail to England. But he had to wrap

up some last-minute issues, so he sent his wife and four daughters ahead on the steamship Ville du Havre.

Near England, the ship collided with another vessel and sank. All four of his daughters perished. His wife sent him a telegram saying, “… saved alone.”

On his way to join his wife, Spafford penned these words when his own ship reached the spot where the Ville du Havre went down: “When peace like a river, attendeth my way/ When sorrows like sea billows roll; “Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught to me to know/It is well, it is well, with my soul.”

The message — that despite huge tragedy, God still deeply cares for the souls of those he loves — continues to resonate with the faithful to this day.

If you look at the author index of any Christian hymnal, one name stands out— Fanny Crosby (1820-1915).

Crosby, who was blind from the age of six weeks, wrote more than 8,000 hymns. She was so prolific that she often used pseudonyms (in excess of 200) so publishers could fit more of her compositions into their hymnals without appearing to be dominated by one composer.

Her hymns have been published more than 100-million times.

Most Christians will recognize her most popular ones: To God Be The Glory, Blessed Assurance, Rescue The Perishing, All The Way My Saviour Leads Me and Jesus Is Tenderly Calling You Home.

Crosby was a truly amazing woman who never let her handicap impair her mission.

God calls all believers to sing, as Paul encouraged the church at Ephesus to do: “Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord …”

Jesus’ last song was likely Psalm 118, whose words are popular even today: “This is the day the Lord has made/Let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

Let all the people sing praise to the Lord!

In northwestern Peru, bird is the word JOHN GEARY travelwriterstales.com

I

f you hear South America and bird-watching mentioned in the same breath, chances are you’ll envision large, colourful parrots winging their way through jungle canopies.

But here I was on the last day of a six-day bird-watching tour in Peru — while I’d seen an incredible number of colourful birds — the most colourful ones were not parrots.

To be sure, I’d seen parrots.

On my first day out, I spied some small green Pacific parrotlets perched in a bushy tree along a trail, but they were not the most colourful birds we would see on the trip, not even the most colourful bird we’d see that day in and around the Bosque Pomoc Reserve of northwestern Peru.

I was looking at a songbird through my camera lens, a black-faced dacnis. It sported feathers of a beautiful bright powder blue colour with dark blue-black wing bars and a “mask” surrounding its bright yellow eyes.

Even through a 100- to 400mm zoom lens, it seemed like such a tiny thing perched among the foliage, 100 metres away.

Binoculars would have brought it a bit closer, but I was focused on getting a decent shot of this bird. Only after I’d taken some shots and looked at them on my camera’s display screen could I really appreciate its beauty.

It was like that with many of the birds we saw during our birding expedition with Green Tours along the North Peru birding route.

It runs from Chiclayo by way of the coast, through a section of the Andes Mountains and ends up in Tarapoto.

JOHN GEARY PHOTOS A group of birders set up cameras and binoculars (top left) for a close-up look at exotic and colourful birds during a group tour in northwestern Peru. An Emerald-bellied puffleg (top right) is just one of many species of hummingbirds seen during the six-day trip. A group of hoatzins was also spotted sitting along the highway near the airport.

I was the least experienced birder of the group.

That became apparent when several of them started pulling out their binoculars — or “bins” as they’re sometimes called — while we were boarding our tour bus at the Chiclayo airport, after our flight from Lima earlier that morning.

That was OK by me. It meant I could watch and learn from a group of experienced birders.

And watch we did.

The days were long as we rose well before dawn to be on the road to get to our morning’s first stop before the birds awoke. It often meant skipping breakfast, taking a bag breakfast with us or stopping for food later in the morning.

One of the trip’s highlights came on the third morning when we drove to Fundo Gotas

de Agua, a private reserve in the Maranon Valley near the city of Jaen.

After spending a few hours birding in the woods surrounding the lodge, spying several squirrel cuckoos, parrotlets and a flock of several scarlet-fronted parakeets [a.k.a., red-fronted conures] soaring above our heads, we broke for breakfast on an outdoor veranda while we continued to look for birds.

At times, it seemed we were doing more of the latter than the former. We did spot a scarletbacked woodpecker in a tree not far from where we sat sipping our steaming coffee.

There’s something almost dreamlike about watching exotic birds in a strange forest while enjoying enjoying a cup of joe.

For many, that afternoon provided an even bigger treat.

Along a stretch of the highway, we spotted Peru’s national bird — the Andean cock of the rock. It was hidden down in a deep hollow about 50 metres from the road in thick forest.

Many birdwatchers make several trips to South America, yet never spot this gorgeous red bird with the bulbous head.

Each day provided more wonders than the previous. The next day saw us at Abra Patricia, a private reserve incredibly rich in bird life, even for Peru.

At the Aguas Verdes lodge, we spotted several different hummingbirds while making our way along the trail to the lodge, as well as some cinnamon flycatchers.

Surrounding the lodge were several hummingbird feeders, a feast for the eyes as different kinds of hummers zipped back

Even the very last day, nature treated us once more.

The sun was setting behind these odd-looking birds — a fitting farewell to a very satisfying trip.

Raiders have a home MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

For six years, the Kamloops Rugby Club Raiders were without a clubhouse.

There were arguments about building plans and potential locations. There were post-match meals and beers in inclement weather.

There were steaming hot and freezing cold portables for change rooms. There were 40-minute round-trip drives for practices and games three times a week. There was the North Thompson River instead of a shower.

“A rugby club without a home isn’t really a rugby club,” longtime club member Andy Fraser said.

The Raiders are nomads no more.

Hundreds gathered at Exhibition Park on Saturday for the club’s 50th anniversary celebration, augmented by the grand opening of its new clubhouse.

The party was so good that several Raiders hung around for the pancake breakfast on Sunday morning.

KRC moved to Rayleigh from its former home in Tk’emlups te Secwepemc’s Mount Paul Industrial Park in the fall of 2012, with the dream of building a new clubhouse at the Tournament Capital Ranch.

The rugby fields at the Ranch were maintained by the city and among the best in B.C., but the

location was a problem.

It was a long trip to and from the playing field for the players and they were unable to host visiting teams in traditional rugby fashion, with a decent meal and a hot shower.

There was a period of time when KRC opposition — most often coming from the Lower Mainland — was directed after games to bathe in the North Thompson River.

Without a clubhouse and with its remote location in relation to the city centre, the club’s youth and junior programs dwindled.

Debate about a new facility — at one point there was talk of transporting a log cabin to the Ranch from Vernon — raged on.

Potable-water and septicsystem issues were among infrastructure hurdles at the Ranch, but plans were developed for a $1-million facility.

THE ELECTRIC CAR REDEFINED

When the club was told a move to Exhibition Park was on the table, Ranch plans were scrapped.

An agreement with the city was reached and council agreed to give $50,000 to KRC for relocation in March of 2016.

Plans were hatched to upgrade the existing facility at Exhibition, with summer 2017 the completion target.

The estimated value of the new clubhouse in September 2016 was about $460,000.

Fraser, the KRC building committee chairman, said that number proved fairly accurate.

Delays resulted when approvals on design and architecture did not come swiftly. The club also wanted to raise more cash before it went ahead with construction.

Cash and in-kind donations and free labour from

members and friends of the club are the bedrock of the new facility.

“We are indebted to a lot of people for the commitment and donations they made, the time and money,” Fraser said. “I’m going to say about half of the money was in-kind, through labour and donated materials. There were people who spent an incredible amount of time working for free.”

Prior to construction, Exhibition Park had a building with two change rooms and two washrooms. Two more change rooms, a dining hall/ social area, a kitchen and a food-serving area have been added.

“We’re going to recognize all our donors,” Fraser said.

“The list goes on. This makes a huge difference in what we can do and to the support we can get from the community.

It means everything.”

HAY TO LEAD PROSPECTS’ CAMP The Kamloops Blazers’ annual prospects camp will be held this weekend at Sandman Centre and Brock Arena.

THANK YOU KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

“I have worked with Kamloops This Week each year for Timeraiser. I receive many comments from people who read about it in the paper, and their support of this event has helped it immensely. It is great having a community newspaper so involved in this cause, and the in depth stories about some of the volunteers have been so helpful.”

Angie Rose is going pro.

The practical nurse, now old enough to compete in the 40-and-over masters division, has been armwrestling since she was a teenager, but only recently earned her first pro contract, a five-year deal with World Armwrestling League.

Rose, who is from Quesnel but lives in Kamloops, will have her hands full at Supermatch Showdown Series 403 in Cleveland on June 14.

She will square off against Tamara Mitts of Wasaga Beach, Ont., a bartender who calls herself the Crazy Canuck.

“Being paid is what every armwrestler strives for,” Rose said. “It’s always nice to get some money back. It’s not inexpensive travelling, with your

flights and food and gas.”

Rose is a former world wrist wrestling champion and multiple time Canadian armwrestling champion.

She has a 9-6 record at WAL events and won gold and silver medals last year in the open women’s middleweight division at the WAL Championships in Las Vegas.

Accomplishments such as those are why she was named to the B.C. Armwrestling Association Hall of Fame earlier this month at the provincial championships in Kelowna.

“I was surprised and I was very honoured,” said Rose, who won the open women’s division at provincials.

There has always been prize money for winning, but being paid to travel for WAL events is a welcomed new perk.

She will receive $1,000 to attend and $1,200 for travel

costs. The win bonus is $2,000 and there is a $500 bonus for match of the day and a $1,000 bonus for performance of the day.

Rose will be aiming to reach the WAL finals, which will be held in Atlanta in September.

Next up are the Canadian Armwrestling Federation Championships, which will run from June 29 to July 1 in Laval, Que. With a top-two finish in any of the categories she enters, Rose will book her ticket to the world championships, which will be held in Turkey in October.

“The pullers are going to be top notch,” Rose said. “They’ll be world class.”

WAL events will be streamed online by Bleacher Report Live.

Rose is seeking sponsorship.

Titans get taste of provincials MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Expectations were not high for the South Kamloops Titans, who made their debut at the ultimate provincial championships in Surrey last week.

Having fielded a team for the first time in 2018, along with fellow Kamloops area high schools Valleyview and Merritt — South Kam was in tough against more experienced Lower Mainland teams.

Seeded third in Pool F, the squad finished 15th of 16 teams in AAA play, with a 1-5 record. The Titans dropped five straight games to Lower Mainland clubs before pulling off a 12-6 win against Kelowna Secondary School.

“We had a really low seed because they haven’t seen us play at all, so it was a tough pool for sure, but they played exceptionally well,” Titans’ head coach Alysia Francis said.

South Kam had a couple of games that could have gone either way, including a one point, tie-breaking loss to Lord Tweedsmuir and and a four-point loss to Sutherland.

The Titans fell 13-2 to Winston Churchill of Vancouver, 13-5 to St. George’s/York House of Vancouver, 11-10 to Tweedsmuir of Surrey, 12-8 to Sutherland of North Vancouver and 10-2 to Magee of Vancouver.

“We definitely put up a good fight,” Grade 11 student Landon Peters said.

In the game against Sutherland, the

teams were tied heading into the half, Francis said, adding the North Vancouver school has an incredible team.

“We definitely gave our best throughout everything,” added teammate Logan Flack Most of the Titans started playing the game this year.

“I think the big takeaway is that it’s definitely an eye opener in terms of the

skill level of the coastal teams just because they’ve been playing since they were in Grade 6, so it just shows what it looks like when a school develops a sport for six years,” Francis said.

Next year will be a rebuilding season, as 15 of the 22-person co-ed roster are graduating this month.

Peters and Flack, both in Grade 11, plan to be back next year in leadership roles.

“There’s a lot of younger grades that are really interested in it right now and we can see the potential in them just throwing a frisbee outside, and it’s not hard to explain the rules of ultimate,” Peters said.

Soccer provincials underway in town Sa-Hali secondary is playing host to the 2018 BC School Sports AA Girls Soccer Championship.

The tourney will wrap up on Saturday on McArthur Island.

Sixteen teams, broken into four divisions of four teams each, are in action, with South Kamloops secondary the other local entry.

St. Thomas More of Burnaby blanked Sa-Hali 2-0 on Thursday morning. The Sabres played Crofton House in a match that finished after KTW’s press deadline on Thursday.

The Sabres will face MEI of Abbotsford on Friday at 11:30 a.m. to conclude round-robin play.

South Kamloops played Vancouver’s Notre Dame and JL Crowe of Trail on Thursday after deadline.

The Titans will conclude round-robin play on Friday at 9 a.m. against Carihi of Campbell River.

Semifinal games will be played on Friday afternoon, with the championship game set for 11:30 a.m. on Saturday.

Armstrong earned an 11-3 victory at Memorial Arena last Friday to take a 3-0 lead.

Christmas cards are not likely to be exchanged between the teams, which combined for 89 penalty minutes.

The Rattlers, unhappy with a hit on their captain Mark Jurista and appealing to officials, were assessed multiple misconduct penalties near the end of the third period, including one to goaltender Scott Helton.

Game 4 is slated for 8 p.m. on Friday at the Nor-Val Sports Centre in Armstrong.

Recording points for the Rattlers last weekend were AJ Lockwood (1G, 1A), Mike Henry (1G, 1A), Liam Hagerty (1G, 1A), Jimmy Latin

Obituaries & In Memoriam In Loving Memory of

Geraldine Hubbard

January 6, 1935 – June 1, 2012

“Keep your head down!” Geraldine could be heard saying to her closest golfing friends and at least one of her children after they completely missed the golf ball. She was passionate about the game and the Kamloops Golf Club…but “never got any better at it”.

Maurice (Hamer) Hamer-Jackson

A million times we’ve needed you, A million times we’ve cried.

If love alone could’ve saved you, You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still.

In our hearts you hold a place, No one else will ever fill.

It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn’t go alone.

Part of us went with you, The day God took you home.

Love You Always, Diane, Vicki, Reid, Randy, Lorne, Loni, Calvin and families.

“A Life Lived”

Geraldine was always modest about her accomplishments. She was painter in her earlier years and transitioned those artistic talents into a prolific output of artfully designed quilts. Many younger quilters paid homage to her artistry and technical abilities. The most remarkable aspect of this consuming passion was her dedication to working with other quilters in helping to raise money for the Kamloops Hospital Auxiliary raffles.

It was a 35 year journey and the happiness it gave Geraldine was incalculable. Even in her 94th year she was thinking about fabric and design and would force herself to work in spite of her gnarled hands and aching back.

From a generation of women who mostly stayed home and raised children, Geraldine summoned the courage to start an in-home kindergarten while still extending unconditional love and attention to her five children. The business was a 16 year success.

Some people have a “green thumb” and some don’t. Gardening for Geraldine was arguably a religious experience as every flower, shrub or tree that she planted or cared for flourished and they all mattered to her. She wasn’t actually observed talking to them but it wouldn’t be a stretch to have called her a “garden whisperer”.

Daniel William “Danny” Loiselle

As finances allowed in her middle years she and her husband Bill travelled to many exotic places throughout the world. Her adventures became conversation points with her inquisitive children.

Celebration of Life Ernest (Ernie) Schaeffer

It has to be said that Geraldine was a loyal and devoted friend to many women in Kamloops and one still living in Victoria.

As a mother she exceeded all expectations and was always present with each of her five children.

Given her intelligence and general knowledge of the world at large she could engage them with ease and understanding. Each loved her in their own way.

Geraldine passed away peacefully in Kamloops, BC on May 26, 2018.

Please join us for a casual gathering to Celebrate the Life and Memory of Ernie on Saturday, June 9, 2018 from 1:30 to 4:00 pm in the Dogwood Room at the North Shore Community Centre, 730 Cottonwood Ave., Kamloops, BC.

She is survived by her sons William (Bill) Hubbard and wife Kim, Nick Hubbard and wife Linda, Pete Hubbard and wife Lisa, daughters Kathy Danchuk, and husband Ian Douglas, Ayn Cargill and husband Richard, grandchildren Sean Danchuk, Coral Keehn, Dylan Cargill, Tyler Cargill, Cole Hubbard, Carrie Campbell, Courtney Hubbard and Nigel Hubbard.

Her grandchildren produced eleven greatgrandchildren and a legacy for all time.

There will not be an official celebration of life for Geraldine, however, we ask that you think of her and honour her in your very individual way.

We can no longer See you with our eyes, Touch you with our hands, But we will feel you in our hearts forever.

General Manager

My wife and I have had the honour of serving the Kamloops area for the last 5 years.

We moved from the Fraser Valley and I assumed the role of General Manager of Schoening’s, First Memorial and Merritt Funeral Chapel. We support Western Canada Theatre, Kamloops Symphony, and The Art Gallery. We are proud members of the Paddlewheelers Lions Club as well as the miniature train at the wildlife park.

I enjoy slo-pitch, hockey, curling and giving back to the community.

Reinhard Schmudlach August 10, 1934 - May 12, 2018

Daniel William (“Danny”) Loiselle, aged 64, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, May 26, 2018 while enjoying what was a beautiful day with his close friends Brett, Brenda and Doug and his beautiful wife Sandra.

He was born on July 31, 1953 in Regina, Saskatchewan to father Arthur (“Bill”) and mother Betty Loiselle. He is survived by his beloved wife Sandra who was at his side at his passing, his cherished daughters Desiree and Cherene, son-in-law Dylan and his treasured grandchildren Echo Dawn, Thiago, Grayson, Corbin, Ayden and Keegan. Danny’s enormous and gregarious personality drew about him an abundance of close friends and family who he also sadly leaves behind, but through whom his legacy will live on, including brothers Gary, Buff and Jeffrey and sisters Dixie and Donna. He will be fondly remembered by his nieces Jaylene, Jericka, Tracy, Billy, Destiny and Nirowbi, nephew Clayton and their growing families.

Danny loved his bike and enjoying the outdoors, especially with his closest friends the Nadeau’s and his oldest friend Douglas Anderson. He will be forever remembered for his boisterous and infectious laughter, his signature mustache and his talented craftsmanship which can be found throughout the villages of Ashcroft, Cache Creek and Clinton, BC. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, August 4, 2018 at noon at the Clinton Hall, 306 Lebourdais St., Clinton, BC. Condolences may be left for Daniel’s family at www.firstmemorialkamloops.com

Reinhard passed away peacefully on May 12, 2018 at the age of 83.

He was born in Berlin, Germany and was the oldest of three kids. His childhood spanned the war times, of which he always had interesting stories to share; including great relationships and unique business opportunities.

Reinhard spent the majority of his career working with Volkswagen in Wolfsburg, Germany, which took him to various corners of the globe and resulting in the move from Germany to Toronto and finally Kamloops.

He was an avid volunteer in the community which he loved so much. Reinhard loved Kamloops and what it had to offer including golf, curling, lawn bowling, fishing, walking trails, the weather and great people.

Reinhard joins his brother, parents and some other good friends on the other side of the rainbow and will be remembered by his wife, kids, grandkids, sister, extended family and various friends on this side.

He always saw the beauty that life offered, especially the simple things.

As per his request, there will be no celebration of life.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Betty Duzsik (Barron) September 26, 1930 - May 26, 2018

Betty passed away peacefully at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home with her daughter by her side.

She will be greatly missed by her four children Kelly (Frances) Duzsik of Lethbridge, AB, Carol (Kevin) Bigham of Kamloops, BC, Randy Duzsik of Lethbridge, AB and Lisa (Shane) Halpen of Lethbridge, AB. She will also be dearly missed by her four grandchildren Damien (Bonnie) St-Amour, Carmen (Robbie) Gfrerer and Kayla (Mike) Yanosik all of Lethbridge, AB and Matthew (Megan) Bigham of Grand Prairie, AB as well as five great-grandchildren Alex Bigham, Aryanna, Landon and Tate Yanosik and Shaelyn Gfrerer.

Her loss will be deeply felt by her brother Fred (Barbara) Barron of Sault St. Marie, ON and sister-in-law Gladys Barron of Collingwood, ON, as well by sisters-in-law in Kelowna, BC and Washington State, USA, numerous nieces and nephews in BC, Ontario and the USA. Mom was predeceased by her parents Frederick and Hendrika (Groenhuysen) Barron, her husband Leslie (1976) , her granddaughter Kelley Bigham (2008), her sister Dorothy McInnes (1970), and her brother Robert Barron (2016).

Mom was born in Thessalon, ON. She spent most of her school years in the small town of Webwood, ON where her father was the Presbyterian Minister and later became the principle of the school there. This made for some interesting times for Mom and her siblings. She always said she could write a book about the colourful people in the town and her experiences growing up there.

Mom worked unhappily at a candy factory for a few years after high school, although she said she never got sick of the candy and never gained any weight! She decided to start her nurses training at Brantford General Hospital. After becoming an RN in 1954 she and a few of her nursing friends decided to move “out west” to Vancouver for some adventure.

A few years later she met our Dad. They married in 1957 and moved to Kamloops where they stared their family and established deep roots - Dad in the hunting, fishing and flying communities and mom in her various workplaces (she never had time for hobbies!).

Sadly, Dad died at a fairly young age and Mom was left to finish raising their three children still at home. We never heard her complain. She was our stability and we never thought how hard it must have been for her. Mom worked as an RN at numerous facilities in Kamloops throughout her life, the last being at Gaumont House in Kamloops from where she reluctantly retired at age 76 - only because “the clients were offering to do my work for me”. She made many life long friends during her years in Kamloops. Sadly, many have predeceased her. Mom was devoted to her family. She was a vital part of all her grandchildren’s lives and helped us all in any way she could. All her grandchildren’s lives have been enriched by her presence.

Robert (Bob) Erickson

Bob was born on June 9, 1949 in Richmond, BC. He passed away on May 25, 2018 in Kamloops, BC.

Celebrating a life Mom was the best mom, grandma and great-grandma we couldIndependently owned company specializing in gra well lived have wished for! We will miss her (mostly) unconditional love, her humour, her cooking

January 30, 1935 – May 6, 2018

It is with sadness we announce the sudden passing of Robert (Bob) Erickson at the age of 68.

Mom moved in with her daughter and son-in-law nine years ago to be there for her great- grandson Alex after her granddaughter passed away. Alex brightened her days and made her feel needed. She always made sure she had his favourite cookies freshly made and his favourite meals and snacks ready. Alex was a lucky boy to have her in our home. Sadly, Mom’s health began to deteriorate significantly over the last six months and she became more dependent on family for her care. This was intolerable to her as she was always fiercely independent. She did not wish to live like this and we are grateful she did not linger on in this way.

Vic was extremely talented in painting, pin striping and building cars and was well respected by all for his award winning cars that he painted over the years.

Vic never traveled far without his pin striping brushes, at the age of 83 he was still laying them down and living the dream. He surely was one-of-a-kind and he’s going to be missed very much.

Join us for a Celebration of Vic’s Life at the Savona Community Centre, 6648 Tingley Street, Savona, BC on Saturday, June 2, 2018 at 1:00 pm.

She Walks in Beauty LORD BYRON

She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

The family wishes to extend a thank you to everyone for their care and concern and to the people who have reached out with flowers and cards; it is very much appreciated.

Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.myalternatives.ca

One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven trees, Or softly lightens o’er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling place.

And on the cheek, and o’er that brow, So soft, so calm, so eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow; But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind of peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent!

Seniors Week Make sure you can live comfortably on less Many people look toward retirement with mixed feelings.

There is the anticipation and excitement of no longer having to stick to a set schedule.

However, there may be some trepidation about living with a reduced income.

Bloomberg financial experts found the number of Americans aged 65 and older without a disability that weren’t in the labour force rose to 800,000 in the fourth quarter of 2016. This has become a long-standing trend of Baby Boomers leaving the workforce and entering retirement.

Yet, a Statistics Canada study of people between the ages 60 and 64 who had left long-term employment found 43 percent of them were working again, most within a year of leaving their job.

Although boredom may have compelled many of those people to re-enter the workforce, some

may have started working again to make ends meet. Researchers found the higher the earnings in one’s late 40s, the more likely a retiree is to go back to work.

While retirees may need to alter their spending habits, it is possible to live happily on less.

Here are some ways to do just that: • Accurately assess home expenses: The National Foundation for Credit Counselling says the cost of home-related expenses accounts for roughly 45 per cent of spending for retirees. Individuals can add up exactly how much their homes are costing them and then decide if downsizing is a practical solution. Downsizing has a host of benefits, not the least of which is reducing housing-related expenses.

• Use alternative transportation: Cars can be expensive. A

budget-friendly alternative to driving is to use public transportation or transportation services provided to seniors free or for nominal fees.

• Take advantage of senior discounts: Many restaurants, stores and service centres offer discounts to seniors. The starting age for discounts may vary from store to store, so always ask before cashing out.

• Shop for food differently: Bulk buys may have been appropriate for men and women when there were kids running around, but empty-nesters can cut back on food expenses. Shopping sales and making more meals at home can help seniors save money. The market research firm NPD Group found that inhome meals cost roughly onethird of what it costs to eat the same food at a restaurant. Save dining out for special occasions.

Seniors Week Brain-healthy habits to embrace while you age WITH AGE COMES

EXPERIENCE

Eat healthy foods Foods that are good for the heart and blood vessels also are good for the brain. These include fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, fish-based proteins, unsaturated fats, and foods containing omega-3 fatty acids. Neurologists state that, while research on diet and cognitive function is limited, diets, such as Mediterranean and Mediterranean-DASH (dietary approaches to stop hypertension), may contribute to a lower risk of cognitive issues.

Cognitive decline is a condition that is often associated with aging, but even middle-aged people can experience memory loss or cognition issues.

The Canadian Alzheimer’s Association says more than 747,000 Canadians are living with Alzheimer’s or another dementia.

Although there is no definitive way to prevent dementia, living a long, vibrant life may be possible by encouraging some healthy habits for the brain. It is never too late or too early to begin health and lifestyle changes.

Exercise Becoming more active can improve brain volume, reduce risk for dementia and improve thinking and memory skills. The journal Neurology found that older people who vigorously exercise performed better on cognitive tests than others of the same age, placing them at the equivalent of 10 years younger. Increased blood flow that occurs with physical activity may help generate new neurons in the hippocampus, an

Seniors can include healthy lifestyle habits, such as exercise and balanced eating, to reduce the risk of dementia and other neurological issues.

area of the brain involved with learning and memory.

The Harvard Medical School says aerobic exercise may help improve brain tissue by improving blood flow and reducing the chances of injury to the brain from cholesterol buildup in blood vessels.

Quit smoking The Alzheimer’s Association indicates that evidence shows smoking increases the risk of cognitive decline. Smoking can impair blood flow to the brain and cause small strokes that may damage blood vessels, as well as a number of other health problems.

Consume caffeine Caffeine may help boost memory performance and brain health.

A Journal of Nutrition study found people ages 70 and older who consumed more caffeine scored better on tests of mental function than those who consumed less caffeine.

Caffeine may help improve attention span, cognitive function and feelings of well-being. Information from Psychology Today also indicates caffeine may help in the storage of dopamine, which can reduce feelings of depression and

anxiety. In addition, compounds in cocoa and coffee beans may improve vascular health and help repair cellular damage due to high antioxidant levels.

Work the brain Engaging in mentally stimulating activities can create new brain connections and more backup circuits, states Dr. Joel Salinas, a neurologist at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital.

Working the brain through puzzles, reading and participating in social situations can stimulate the release of brain-derived neurotrophic factor, a molecule essential for repairing brain cells and creating connections between them.

A good way to combine these lifestyle factors is to take an exercise class with friends, mixing the social, stimulation and exercise recommendations together.

Cognitive decline can come with aging, but through healthy habits, people can reduce their risk of memory loss and dementia.

50% OFF 2nd Guest + Free Specialty dining & FREE Spa treatment!

Fans of music legend Roy Orbison may want to mark June 25 on the calendar.

On that Monday night at The Dunes in Kamloops, Michael Danckert will perform Only The Lonely, a tribute to one of the greatest voices of our time.

Danckert is a Toronto singer whose four-octave voice is crucial to capturing the unique sound of Orbison in such hits as Pretty Woman, In Dreams, Crying and Only The Lonely.

Danckert has been performing for 15 years, playing in Royal Canadian Legions, concert halls, casino lounges and corporate venues.

Danckert said one of the toughest challenges facing any tribute artist is choosing the right songs.

“Some performers forget that their audience came to hear the songs they know and love,” he said.

“Not obscure, difficult songs that serve only to show off the performer’s vocal prowess or musicianship. No matter how easy a song is to perform or how many times a performer has done it, if it was a hit, he can be pretty certain it’s one the audience is expecting to hear. In this case, the old

Local library drastically grows braille, audio books Disabled people who can’t pick up and read a book in the traditional sense now have many more accessible works available through the public library system.

The Thompson-Nicola Regional District has partnered with the Centre for Equitable Library Access to offer patrons a collection of 540,000 audio, braille and e-text books, magazines and newspapers, compared to about 16,000 offered in the past.

“It’s vastly improving the number of titles they can get and they can also get the braille, as well, which they didn’t have access to before,” said Jenny Abramzik, head of outreach services.

Print disabilities may be visual, physical or cognitive disabilities preventing people from being able to read a book. They include

everything from blindness to dyslexia to multiple sclerosis, where someone might have trouble holding onto a book.

While other provinces pay for such services, B.C. doesn’t, so the TNRD set aside money this year to offer the free service.

“We just thought, you know, this is a priority,” Abramzik said.

The Centre for Equitable Library Access also offers special educators services to help teachers and other educational professionals who work with students with print disabilities.

To sign up for the service, contact outreach services directly by calling 1-885-552-2665.

What to look Expert will speak about for when healthcare policy at choosing a upcoming public forum retirement residence HEALTH

Colleen Fuller, a healthcare policy expert, will speak at a public forum on the subject on Thursday, June 14.

She will join Rick Turner of the Kamloops and B.C. health coalitions and Barb Nederpel of the Kamloops and District Labour Council and the Hospital Employees’ Union.

The session at the Brocklehurst Seniors Activity Centre, 9A-1800

Tranquille Rd., will deal with support of public health care, the Cambie legal challenge on privatization of health care and the $15.9-million of health-care funding clawed back by the federal government due to extra billing in the province at private medical clinics.

The two coalitions, the council and the union are co-sponsoring the event. It starts at 7 p.m.

• Services: What does the residence offer in terms of dining, laundry, housekeeping and other services?

• Amenities: Does the residence offer additional facilities, such as a fitness room, games room, lounge, gardens, library, theatre or café?

• Programs: Do the social and recreational activities interest you?

• Care: Do the support services meet your health needs?
