Downtown parkade upgrade project runs $250K over budget Lansdowne Street parking structure remodel will also feature public art mural JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Upgrades to the Lansdowne Street parkade downtown will cost $250,000 more than initially budgeted.

City of Kamloops capital projects manager Darren Crundwell said the project jumped in price due to increased costs of metal mesh, which is coming from Switzerland, and minimal bids on the project.

“We only received two tenders on it,” Crundwell said. “We were anticipating more.”

Council approved the tender in a closed council meeting on April 24, awarding the contract to A&T Project Developments Inc. for $850,000.

“The lowest compliant tender was higher than the pre-tender engineer’s estimate, therefore, a budget increase is required to complete the work,” a report from the closed council meeting states.

“The higher tender cost is due to fluctuating prices for construction materials, a busy construction market and the timing and unique nature of the entire project.”

The additional money is coming from the downtown streetscape improvement capital project fund. The decision was approved in a 7-2 vote, with councillors Ray Dhaliwal and Denis Walsh opposed.

The project is one of three components in beautification efforts on Lansdowne Street.

New asphalt, curb extensions, sidewalk and landscaping between Third and Fourth avenues are nearing completion.

Planting is underway, with washing and painting of the parkade to commence.

The mesh was part of initial plans for upgrades to the parkade.

This rendering shows what the Lansdowne Street parkade is supposed to look like once renovation work and a public art installation are complete. Council learned this week that the remodel is $250,000 over budget.

In seeking out ways to make it more aesthetically pleasing on a main stretch in the city’s downtown core, the city commissioned local artist Bill Frymire to design a large-scale mosaic graphic to adhere to the parkade.

The artistic portion remains

on budget at $166,000. Frymire was also behind a mural on the fence of a basketball court at Thompson Rivers University depicting Kamloops-raised NBA player Kelly Olynyk.

The parkade mural will feature 90,000 brushed steel tiles, which

will be fastened to the mesh, representing the city’s population, and depict the city’s landscape.

Some of the tiles will move.

The overall project — street upgrades and parkade art project — was estimated at $1.4 million, but will now cost $1.65 million.

CONSIDER CLOVER Why Traditional Lawns are Becoming Less Desirable: Rainfall in our area is not enough to keep grass green, and the cost of watering grass can be an issue. Many people don't have the time or energy to maintain a lawn that needs to be cut and watered frequently.

SMOKING TIPS FOR A SAFER SUMMER • • • • •

Don't throw cigarette butts out of your vehicle! If your car doesn’t have an ashtray, get an approved container for your vehicle.

Always use a deep, not‑combustible, sturdy ashtray to extinguish smoking materials.

Never throw cigarettes into vegetation, peat moss, dry grasses, mulch, plant pots, leaves, garbage, etc. ‑ they can easily catch fire.

Never discard smoking materials on the ground.

Make sure matches and cigarette butts in ashtrays are wet before you put them in a garbage container.

City staff salaries up five per cent in 2017

LOOK FOR OUR GREAT DEALS ON PAGE A14-A15

Annual municipal payroll climbs back above $60 million

Athlete of Influence $1000 Scholarship Winner

JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

An annual financial statement shows the city paid its employees five per cent more — about $2.7 million — in 2017.

The city paid its employees (excluding elected officials) $61.3 million, including wages and taxable benefits, up from $58.6 million in 2016 and $60.6 million in 2015.

City of Kamloops corporate services director Kathy Humphrey said the increase resulted from one-time payouts, including retroactive pay in settling the 2015 to 2017 fire contracts with the International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) and Kamloops Fire Rescue, along with staff overtime that accumulated during flood and wildfire emergencies last year.

“With all the wildfires we had last summer, there was lots of CUPE staff that worked overtime,” Humphrey said. “There was our management team that got paid. … Some individual people who worked a lot of time or some people who just worked a little bit of time, all of that adds up.”

Retroactive pay and annual increases for IAFF members and KFR management combined to a five per cent increase. It also led to a bump in how many of them earned six figures in 2017— 66 more than 2016 at 113, a shift due to retroactive payments.

Looking at the numbers during Tuesday’s council meeting, Coun. Denis Walsh called into question sustainability of such services if costs continue to rise.

“That wage group alone seems to be leading the pack,” he said.

Of the city’s 1,065 staff, 301 made more than $75,000 in 2017, with six more city managers and nine more CUPE employees joining that club.

Three more managers were added, which Humphrey said was likely due to vacancies in

2016 and not the addition of new positions.

The city’s elected officials, meanwhile, were paid $348,000 in 2017. Most councillors made about $36,227, with the mayor’s salary about $90,000 this year, based on other municipalities.

The salaries are calculated on a formula that is linked to other cities.

Arjun Singh earned the most on council in 2017 at $61,000 due to a six-month stint as deputy mayor. Peter Milobar left

council last year to run for provincial office and current Mayor Ken Christian took the helm of the city in October.

One change coming in 2019 could impact salaries of the city’s elected officials. The mayor and councillors are now exempt from paying tax on a third of their salaries but the federal government will no longer offer those exemptions as of January 2019. The change will, however, allow officials the ability to submit business expenses on their tax returns. Humphrey said the impact has yet to be realized but will depend on each person’s tax situation.

While other municipalities have taken proactive measures to increase salaries in anticipation of the tax change, that discussion has yet to take place around the horseshoe at Kamloops city hall.

“Our council hasn’t asked us to calculate that or bring it forward for them,” Humphrey said.

She noted because of the formula based on remuneration in other cities, Kamloops’ elected officials could see an increase down the road based.

Prince George approved an increase in pay earlier this week and Kelowna approved one earlier this year.

Ayla Salyn with Mitchell Kopytko

We are thrilled to announce that Mitchell Kopytko has been named as our 2018 Athlete of Influence. Mitchell (Gr. 11, SKSS) receives a $1000 scholarship from the Fulton Personal Injury Team in recognition of his resilience and dedication to healthy living.

Mitchell began curling in 2011 and is working to qualify for BC U18s and 2019 Canada Winter Games. In the off-season, Mitchell attends curling camps and competes with his SKSS Golf Team. He volunteers at the Kamloops Curling Club and acts as a mentor/coach helper to younger athletes. Mitchell is an Honour Roll with Distinction student and received the Top Power Mechanic Award - he plans to pursue a career in engineering after high school.

At 18 mos, Mitchell was diagnosed with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, a heart disease which limits his athletic activities. In 2013, he had a Reveal loop monitor implanted to monitor irregular heartbeats, and in 2015, that was replaced with an ICD and pacemaker.

But Mitchell hasn't let this slow him down. In his application, Mitchell says "I believe that if I focus on what I can do, and not what I am limited to, I will find success in all that I do."

Mitchell clearly demonstrated the qualities that we wish to celebrate in our Kamloops youth: a commitment to healthy living, resilience in the face of adversity, and a dedication to giving back to his community.

Ayla Salyn of Fulton presented the award at the SKSS Year End Awards Assembly, saying.. "this student has demonstrated exactly what we had in mind when we created this scholarship... he is an exceptionally talented curler... [who] has committed himself to volunteering within the curling community. We've spoken with [many people] who cannot say enough amazing things about this young man."

The other Top 10 Finalists were: Sara King (South Kam); Casey Hopper (Valleyview); Chantal Cavers (Chase); Elise Kouropis (Valleyview); Kieran O’Neil (Sahali); Emily Geisbricht (South Kam); Lane Robinson (Barriere); Savannah Dee (Clearwater); Cody Turner (Chase).

Thank you to our finalists and to all who applied - it was truly an inspirational group of applicants. We look forward to the process of selecting the 2018-2019 Athlete of Influence, with the application process to open shortly.

DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

On 21 occasions, principals and administrators had to enforce School District 73’s maintenance of order policy during the 2017-2018 school year.

The majority related to youths at schools who posed a threat to the safety of other students. Orders were issued four times to parents who were being abusive and intimidating with staff.

The policy flows from a section of the provincial School Act which prohibits the disturbance or interruption of school proceedings. It authorizes principals and administrators to ask people to leave and, if necessary, call for police support.

Every year, graduation students are asked to complete a survey on their future plans.

In a report to the board of trustees, assistant superintendent Bill Hamblett said looking at the information from 2007 to 2018, the majority (71 per cent in 2018) continue to indicate plans to enter post-secondary education with 45.3 per cent looking at Thompson Rivers University.

In 2008, 58.5 per cent said they were going on to further education with 39 per cent choosing TRU.

The graduation rate for Aboriginal students in the district continues to increase.

BRIEFS

principal for Aboriginal education Mike Bowden wrote 79 per cent of students who graduated in 2011 successfully completed Grade 12 in this school year, up from 76 per cent in 2016 and 73 per cent in 2015.

Comparable non-Aboriginal statistics show 87 per cent of students who graduated from Grade 8 in 2011 also graduated this year in Grade 12; last year the rate was 83 per cent and, in 2015, 84 per cent.

Bowden noted the rates are moving toward parity and are above previous targets set by SD73 administration.

112 NEW HIRES IN YEAR

SD73 hired 112 new teachers in the school year just ending.

It also recorded 13 resignations and 25 retirements, putting the net increase at 74 teachers.

A report by superintendent Alison Sidow on staffing notes there are still two outstanding offers of employment and she expects more to be offered in coming days.

Comparable statistics show 56 new hires in 2015-2016, 12 resignations and 23 retirements for a net increase of 23 teachers.

The following year saw 64 new hires, 25 resignations and 14 retirements for a net increase of 25 teachers.

CITY HALL

Approval pending for project in Rose Hill Kamloops city council rubber stamped a new single-family subdivision in Rose Hill after a public hearing on Tuesday night.

Mayor Ken Christian said an application by A&T Project Developments Inc. to build a 58-lot subdivision drew concern from area residents about traffic, infrastructure and the effects of prolonged construction.

Council, however, voted unanimously to support the application, which requested the rezoning of 1725 and 1910 Rose Hill Rd. from suburban to parks and open space and agricultural to suburban, respectively.

Land south of Rose Hill Road was deemed more practical for development due to its topography.

Christian said despite some “legitimate concerns” from residents, the proposal fits the city’s densification efforts.

“On balance to me, it seemed like a good way in which we can expand our supply of singlefamily residential lots,” he said.

Christian also said high-end homes planned for the area will augment the property tax base, resulting in more cash for the city to provide services.

Developer Frank Quinn earlier told KTW the development, which requires a small portion of land be removed from the agricultural land reserve (ALR), will result in the city receiving more than 30 acres of land as open space parkland.

“In short, the community is gaining 10 times more open space than presently exists,” he said.

The rezoning is pending approval for exclusion from the ALR.

LOCAL NEWS JUSTICE

Local lawyer named judge in provincial court TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A local lawyer and Indigenous peoples advocate who helped launch First Nations court in Kamloops has been named a judge.

Linda Thomas will assume her new duties on July 5 as B.C.’s newest provincial court judge.

Thomas received a law degree from the University of British Columbia in 2000.

She has worked as a sole practitioner and for First Nations government and non-profit organizations, most recently serving as executive director of Secwepemc Child and Family Services.

In addition to some criminal defence work, Thomas’ practice focused primarily on childprotection and family-law mediation. She also has a background in prison law.

Additionally, Thomas was instrumental in setting up Cknucwentn First Nations Court at the Kamloops Law Courts, a monthly day of criminal sentencings presided over by a judge and community elders.

Council dumps windrow-removal motion Arjun Singh wanted staff to look into how to manage street-side snow piles The City of Kamloops will not be removing snow windrows anytime soon.

A motion by Coun. Arjun Singh requesting staff research costs to manage snow that builds up on streets after plowing was defeated on Tuesday.

Coun. Tina Lange said she understood the sentiment but would not support the motion due to costs of adding staff and equipment.

City staff are already calling for an additional $400,000 investment next year, following a significant spike in calls from the public.

Councillors Donovan Cavers and Singh voted in favour of the motion, while Mayor Ken Christian and councillors Ray Dhaliwal, Lange, Dieter Dudy, Denis Walsh, Pat Wallace and Kathy Sinclair were opposed to defeat it.

WHY ALL THE FUSS OVER LEGAL POT?

T

he upcoming legalization of pot seems to have many sectors of our society, from police services to individuals, in a tizzy.

They’re concerned about how legalization of marijuana is going to change society. They have issues with its use and abuse and more.

But honestly, what is going to change? It’s not like pot has ever been unavailable in Canada. Remember when B.C. Bud used to be one of the most desired “brands?” It still is, apparently.

Like alcohol, cannabis — along with all its benefits and problems — has been with us for a very long time. Legalizing cannabis won’t make it any more accessible to the under-19 age group. They have no problem obtaining pot now. Nor, come Oct. 17, when recreational marijuana becomes legal, are all Canadians suddenly going to rush out to buy their 30 grams and immediately turn into full-time stoners.

Cannabis may be illegal, but there are few real-world restrictions on its use. It’s not like someone is introducing a totally new, unfamiliar product into mainstream markets.

And there may be positive changes.

Depending on pricing, taxes and distribution models, we can hope legal pot is going to prove to be stiff competition for street dealers.

Hopefully, there will be fewer grow-ops as well, leading to fewer homes ruined and allowing police to turn their attention to more pressing matters.

Speaking of taxes, let’s not forget about the value of dragging this underground economy into the daylight and taxing it. That is going to be a lot of cash flowing into the economy and tax dollars into provincial and federal coffers. Legalizing cannabis is really just regulating a de facto legal practice and recognizing a situation that existed long before Justin Trudeau made it an election promise.

Regulation is likely to solve more problems than introduce new ones.

Flag flaps will follow

O

ne man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.

Keep that in mind when the third flag pole at city hall leads to some kind of controversy, as one group’s advocacy is another group’s evil.

There are now two flag poles at city hall, one flying the Canadian flag and the other waving the City of Kamloops banner. The latter also flies the flag of visiting jurisdictions when delegations are on official visits to the Tournament Capital.

Last year, the city rejected a request from a Kamloops resident to fly the rainbow flag in honour of the Pride Parade that was taking place downtown. The city’s policy limited such flagwaving to the aforementioned visitors to Kamloops.

This week, council decided to spend $4,000 on installation of a community flag pole outside city hall, on which flags such as the rainbow variety can be flown.

The community flag pole is designed to be home to the flags or banners of community groups requesting such prominence.

Decisions on whether to fly a particular group’s flag will be made by having city staff consult the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Canadian Advertising Standards Council. Legal advice could also be sought.

But I think Coun. Arjun Singh was dead-on in explaining why he voted against the proposal, despite supporting all the LGBTQ+ community fights for daily. Singh, fellow councillor Pat Wallace and Mayor Ken Christian opposed the flag-pole creation.

Singh used the word “discretion” in explaining his “no” vote — and his reasoning summed up my thoughts weeks ago when

CHRIS FOULDS

Newsroom

MUSINGS I was discussing this issue with a friend.

Flying the Pride flag will offend some, but not others. We know that based on online comments to the KTW story on the issue.

What happens, though, when other groups demand equal time and space atop that flag pole?

Perhaps the Rotary flag, or the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation banner, or the Canadian Cancer Society insignia are innocuous enough.

But what happens when the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada requests flight? Or its polar opposite, Campaign Life Coalition?

What happens when the Soldiers of Odin, an anti-immigration group masquerading as a neighbourhood safety patrol, wants in on the flag action?

How about seeing the infamous death’s-head logo of the Hells Angels flapping in the breeze above city hall?

The biker gang may have been declared a criminal organization in Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec, but not yet in B.C. Could those motorcycle mavericks not cite two of the four “fundamental freedoms” of the Charter (freedom of assembly and freedom of association) in arguing for their flag to fly

over the Tournament Capital?

This may sound ludicrous, but such challenges do occur.

Just last month, Prince Albert city council decided to stop allowing community groups to fly their flags after getting caught up in a legal fight that would have been costly.

In 2016, the Prince Albert Right to Life Association received permission to fly the Right to Life flag, which pictured a cartoon fetus called Umberto the Unborn.

According to the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix, “That was not the first year the flag was flown; however, opponents of the decision later organized a protest and filed a petition with city hall to have it taken down, arguing that the flag was discriminatory and anti-woman.

In 2017, Prince Albert Right to Life was told they could not fly a flag unless they chose a more neutral design. As a result, the Justice Centre for Constitutional Rights filed a lawsuit on Nov. 2, 2017, arguing that the city’s position “denied Right to Life’s right to free expression.”

In May 2017, all sorts of mayhem ensued when a March for Life (pro-life/anti-abortion) flag was raised over city hall in the nation’s capital. The controversy prompted the City of Ottawa to later amend its flag policy to “reflect a connection to the City and to matters of municipal interest.”

It’s true that a third flag flying over city hall should be far down the list of pressing concerns for the municipality, but human nature being what it is, prepare for some sort of ludicrous showdown in the future — and the cost will likely be much more than four grand. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

A WARNING TO DRIVERS ABOUT CHERRY CREEK Editor: (Copy of the letter sent to B.C. Highways Minister Claire Trevena.)

I would like to bring forward a safety issue on the Trans-Canada Highway in Cherry Creek, a small rural community about 20 kilometres west of Kamloops.

Heading west of Kamloops, Rodeo Drive is a left turn off of Highway 1. There are roughly 20 families living on Rodeo Drive, which is on a school bus route.

At the entrance of New Gold Mine, Highway 1 goes to a single lane heading west. I would estimate there are roughly 10 kilometres of single-lane highway prior to a passing lane starting at the top of the hill that leads down to Rodeo Drive, which is on the left.

Traffic gets stacked up here as the highway is single lane and the road is twisty around Beaton Road. The highway heading east toward Rodeo Drive is two lanes.

There is a rise in the highway elevation heading east that impairs drivers from seeing the Rodeo Drive turn-off until they crest that rise. There are maybe 200 or 300 metres of visibility to Rodeo Drive once you crest the rise.

My issue is this: I can literally be parked in the fast lane waiting for an opening to turn left and people are pulling out to pass behind me.

People feel like they’re sitting ducks waiting to turn left. I

RE: STORY: KAMLOOPS RESIDENTS TO GET A LOOK AT WILDFIRE VOLUNTEER MONUMENT MODELS:

JODI LAWRENCE PHOTO Days after Mark Bailey’s letter was received by KTW, this crash on Highway 1 in Cherry Creek, near Rodeo Drive, injured two people in this vehicle on Tuesday. The accident occurred at 11:40 a.m. when the driver of a pickup truck travelling west in the fast lane approached a vehicle in the same lane waiting to turn left into Rodeo Drive. Injuries are believed to be non-life-threatening and police continue to investigate.

always get in that passing lane early and leave my turn signal on all the way down the hill.

I have people shaking their fist at me because they think I’m driving too slow in the fast lane.

If I’m riding my motorcycle and there is a lot of traffic, I will pull over, stop on the right shoulder and wait for an opening. I just feel too vulnerable parked in the fast lane waiting to turn left.

Some residents will not even

turn left if there is a lot of traffic.

They will drive four or five kilometres west to Gardi Road, which has an actual left-turn exit, turn around, travel back and turn right onto Rodeo Drive.

Also, because the road drops away heading west of Rodeo Drive, you can be surprised when turning left by any number of cars heading east.

There have been accidents at this intersection before and I

don’t want loss of life to be the catalyst for finally making some safety improvements.

There are new skid marks on the hill on a monthly basis during the summer months.

I would propose part of the left-turn passing lane be taken out and a dedicated left-turn lane be installed to service traffic turning left onto Rodeo Drive.

New foundation takes flight with home up in silent auction TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

DAVE EAGLES PHOTOS/KTW Cooper Family Foundation president Nelly Dever poses for a photo in the Aberdeen home available for purchase by silent auction — part of an effort to raise funds for an expansion at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home. The home comes fully furnished and decorated. The deadline for bids is Saturday.

This weekend will be the final opportunity to submit a bid for a brand-new Aberdeen home being offered up at silent auction in an effort to raise funds by an upstart charitable foundation.

Cooper Family Foundation president Nelly Dever said she came up with the idea after meeting with members of the family behind Coopers Foods and other local companies.

The foundation is auctioning off a fully furnished $925,000 home on Bentall Drive with all proceeds going to a $1-million expansion project at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home.

“The Cooper family has been established in the community and they do build quite a few houses every year,” Dever told KTW. “We thought, ‘Why don’t we build an extra house every year?’

Then we reached out to sub trades to see if they’d be interested in

making a pledge.”

Every pledge is being matched by the Cooper family, Dever said, noting the foundation’s mandate includes a stipulation it carries zero overhead.

The foundation was established last year and the hospice expansion is its first project. Dever

said the charity intends to take on one project of its choice at a time, with the only requirement being a budget exceeding $100,000.

According to Dever, selling homes by silent auction will not necessarily become an annual tradition for the foundation.

“It’s not for sure going to be every year,” she said. “It’s going to depend on how they align with projects. But we are going to do a house every year we have a really big project.”

While she wouldn’t say how many, Dever said a number of bids have been submitted.

They will remain in sealed envelopes until Monday, when foundation officials will review them and determine the two highest offers. Those bidders will be contacted later in the week, Dever said, and the winner will be announced on July 21.

The deadline to submit bids is Saturday. Dever recommended potential bidders do so early in the day, as the process involves about an hour of paperwork.

Unionized casino workers set to strike Friday MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

More than 200 people employed at Cascades Casino in Aberdeen and hundreds more in the Okanagan are set to walk off the job Friday afternoon — but Gateway Casinos said it will keep its facilities open even if picket lines start.

A 72-hour strike notice was served to employer Gateway Casinos on Tuesday, said Stephanie Smith, president of the B.C Government and Service Employees Union (BCGEU). More than 675 BCGEU workers between Cascades Kamloops, Playtime Kelowna, Cascades Penticton and Lake City Vernon are set to form picket lines after mediation broke down earlier this week.

In Kamloops, a picket line will be set up outside the casino beginning at 3:01 p.m. Employees of Match Eatery and Atlas Steak and Fish will also be on strike.

It is still possible to avoid the strike action, Smith told KTW. “We are always ready to go back to the table if the employer is willing to come back and roll up their sleeves and provide us with a

reasonable offer,” Smith said.

Smith said the increases the company is offering wouldn’t keep their members ahead of the planned $15 minimum wage increase the provincial government is currently starting to roll out.

In an open letter Gateway Casinos published prior to the 72-hour notice, the company states a strike will be harmful to its employees and customers and it is committed to reaching an agree-

ment, but hoped the union would return to mediation with more reasonable expectations.

Smith said Gateway cannot bring in replacement workers to do BCGEU bargaining-unit work but can use excluded managers or employees who are not members of the union.

She added it will be difficult to operate “a quality service with the vast majority of your staff not being there.”

“Our members are slot atten-

dants, they’re table game folks, they’re in the cashier’s cage, security — just about every sector of the casino will be impacted.”

Wages are the main stumbling block between the two sides.

“Our members are asking for living wages that would bring them in line with the industry standard for casino workers in B.C.,” said Smith.

There has been no progress made between the two sides on the wage issue since talks began.

“It’s been an extremely frustrating process for our bargaining committee,” said Smith.

“The casino industry is not struggling. It is our workers who provide the experience for casino-goers and contribute to the monies that those casinos earn and we’re simply asking that the employer recognizes the contribution of the workers.”

Negotiations for a new collective agreement broke down in May. The last contract expired on Sept. 30, 2017.

At the beginning of June, union employees voted 93.1 per cent in favour of taking strike action, with more than 88 per cent of union-

oh canada!

ized workers participating.

Following the strike vote, the company issued its open letter stating its disappointment with the result.

The letter also said the union walked away from the bargaining table after proposing a 62 per cent average wage increase with some positions increasing over 80 per cent, in addition to significant benefit increases. It characterized such as “not reasonable for any business.”

“If you have people that are currently at minimum-wage levels, which they are, then those increases are necessary simply to bring them in line with industry standards,” Smith told KTW. After getting back to the bargaining table in the last two weeks, talks broke down again.

Smith said the BCGEU had hoped it would see a reasonable Gateway offer in mediation “but we were met with more stall tactics.

“When it became clear that the company was not going to make an acceptable offer, the bargaining committee decided to exercise the strike mandate given to them by the workers,” she said.

‘Trapped inside of her body’ Online fundraiser launched to help pay for five-year-old girl’s surgery in U.S. SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

A fundraising campaign for a five-year-old girl with cerebral palsy is helping to support her and her family as she prepares for potentially life-altering treatments.

A GoFundMe page was started by Kira Crawford’s mother Danica Crawford in March and has collected more than $27,000 in donations toward its $75,000 goal.

Despite a normal, happy pregnancy, Kira wasn’t breathing when she was born.

The girl was rushed to BC Children’s Hospital from Kamloops soon after being resuscitated and spent 14 days in the neonatal intensive-care unit there. She couldn’t be held by her family for the first 10 days of her life.

Kira was later diagnosed with cerebral palsy caused by damage to her brain due to a lack of oxygen. For Kira, the motor disorder means spastic movements and lack of muscle control.

Cognitively, Kira is like any other five-year-old.

“She has a lot going on inside her brain — she’s just kind of trapped inside of her body,” Crawford said.

Crawford and family have gone to great lengths to ensure Kira and her younger brother Grayson are having an “average life experience,” despite the day-to-day interruptions when it comes to things like sleep.

The funds being raised will go toward surgery for Kira to help her heal. Selective Percutaneous Myofascial

Five-year-old Kira Crawford has cerebral palsy. Her family is hoping a surgery in Texas will relieve spasticity in Kira’s legs and, potentially, give her the chance to walk.

Lengthening (SPML) is a surgical treatment for cerebral palsy that could relieve the spasticity in Kira’s legs.

“I’ve seen kids go from not walking to walking,” Crawford said.

The goal of the surgery is to relieve tension in Kira’s muscles, which could give her a chance to grow in a healthier way.

“This is her best chance at walking,” Crawford said.

“We’re giving it to her at a young age before she grows in a bad direction — before she gets muscle memory and builds too many brain pathways that are too hard to unlearn when you’re older.”

The other treatment planned for Kira is stem-cell therapy. Umbilical-cord blood saved from Grayson won’t cure Kira, but it could help.

“Cord blood is like liquid gold,” Crawford said.

Stem cells found in cord blood can have a regenerative effect on the body. Crawford said doctors have told her it might even cure cerebral palsy one day, but that won’t happen while Kira is still young.

Crawford said the treatment is based on a weight ratio, so the sooner Kira receives the treatment, the more effective it could be.

At best, Crawford said Kira is looking at a 30 per cent improvement from her current condition.

“A 30 per cent improvement means she’s going to live longer. It means her quality of life, her brother’s quality of life — our sleeping quality of life — will be dramatically improved. That’s why we’re doing this. That’s why

we’re putting ourselves in this incredibly vulnerable situation where we’re thinking about this every day,” she said.

Kira’s procedures were set to start in June, but a serious health scare saw the girl airlifted to B.C. Children’s a second time in early May. “That night me and dad were kind of getting ready to say our goodbyes,” Crawford said.

Kira quickly went from “having the best day ever,” according to her mom, to being diagnosed with acute pancreatitis and pneumonia in a matter of days.

Kira ended up in hospital for 40 days and is now at home healing ahead of her SPML surgery scheduled for July 13 in Texas.

Despite injury to her stomach — Kira normally had a stomach tube, but now has another in her intestines — she’s still on track for surgery next month.

“We’re confident. It’s a pretty non-invasive surgery,” Crawford said.

Stem-cell therapy is tentatively planned for early 2019.

Fundraising for Kira is ongoing, including a golf tournament scheduled for July 15 at Kamloops Golf and Country Club. The family is also still receiving donations on Kira’s GoFundMe page (http:// gofundme.com/help-kiraheal-her-brain) and Crawford makes regular posts about Kira on a Facebook page called Kira Shines.

“We’re incredibly grateful and moved,” Crawford said.

“It’s more than we ever actually anticipated.”

Man who assaulted Mountie denied his alcohol request

CRIME

Christian wants city reimbursed for jail stays

Leon Leclerc, who beat a constable in 2014, asked a judge to remove a condition of his probation that prohibits drinking MICHEAL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

A man who took part in a violent attack against a Kamloops Mountie in 2014 — leaving a constable unconscious on the side of a rural road in Pritchard — has been denied the permission to drink alcohol again, but will be allowed to enter liquor establishments for business purposes.

Leon Leclerc applied in B.C. Supreme Court to alter two conditions of his probation two months into the term. Leclerc is prohibited from consuming alcohol and entering licensed premises as part of his two-year probation — a term that came into effect when Leclerc was released from prison following a sentence of 15 months behind bars.

Last January Leclerc, 47, and Jerry Lamar, 52, were found guilty of assaulting officer RCMP Const.

Paul Koester during a traffic stop near Pritchard on July 5, 2014.

The officer suspected Lamar had been drinking and informed him he was launching an impaired driving investigation.

Dash-cam footage of their exchange played during the trial showed Lamar tried to leave, at which point Koester deployed pepper spray on him. The two men began fighting on the ground. During the fight, Leclerc, who was Lamar’s passenger, said he believed he saw Koester reaching for his sidearm and jumped in.

Leclerc stomped on Koester’s head, causing the officer to immediately lose consciousness. In the video, Koester began snoring loudly and Lamar and Leclerc drove off. Crown prosecutor Frank Caputo stressed that during the trial the court found alcohol to have been a contributing factor in the assault, and the prohibition

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

should not be easily changed.

Leclerc admitted to having a few drinks prior to the assault, but said he was not intoxicated.

Leclerc, who runs a fleet of vacuum trucks, told the court liquor establishments make up about 30 per cent of his business and he has no other employees.

Leclerc asked the alcohol restriction be changed to prohibit consumption in public and he be allowed to enter licensed premises while on the job. Caputo said the court should not exercise its discretion unless there has been a substantial change in Leclerc’s circumstances, which he argued there has not been.

Justice Len Marchand ruled he was not prepared to alter the no-alcohol consumption given the short period of time that has passed, but altered the licensed premise restriction to allow entry for work purposes.

Mayor Ken Christian wants the city to be reimbursed for housing prisoners from other communities.

“We have an issue with prisoners that get dropped off at the Kamloops cell blocks, either because of court times, remand, being arrested in small towns where they don’t have prison guards,” he said.

“Those prisoners get transferred to Kamloops because we have a jail here [at the RCMP detachment] that can accommodate prisoners. Unfortunately, we — the City of Kamloops and the taxpayers of Kamloops — pay for that jail.”

Christian said housing prisoners from places like Lumby or Clinton is expensive, including costs for things like food allergies and medication.

He raised the issue and others during a meeting with Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General Mike Farnworth at city hall on

KTW FILE PHOTO Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian wants the city compensated for stays by out-oftown prisoners in Kamloops RCMP cells.

Monday. Farnworth was in town this week to provide an update regarding relief efforts related to the 2017 wildfires.

“We need to have an arrangement that they’re [prisoners] either going to be sent directly to KRCC, the Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre, or that they’re going to be housed with us and we’re going to be reimbursed for the cost of that,” Christian said.

Council meeting agendas to be made public earlier JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

City councillors, the public and the media will have more time to digest information ahead of weekly city council meetings, following a decision Tuesday around the horseshoe at City Hall.

Council agendas will be released by staff to councillors on Thursday afternoons at 4 p.m., while the media and public will

gain access the next morning on Fridays at 9 a.m. Agendas were previously released Friday afternoons.

The change was spurred

by Coun. Denis Walsh, who requested agendas be released on Wednesdays to allow a full week to read through often lengthy reports. For context, this week’s council agenda was nearly 300 pages.

The challenge lies in getting

things done over the weekend, with staff largely unavailable, leaving only Mondays for followup before Tuesday meetings. Staff, however, noted moving agendas ahead that far would delay projects when “time is money.”

“They’ve [developers] actually come forward and said we’d rather have a more expensive permit fee or an application fee in order to get it through your process quicker on that,” CAO David

Trawin said.

“Can I calculate on the dollar figure what delays mean to them?

No. I guess it would depend on the project and how long they’ve already been in proces, as well as the length of time in between that and the next council meeting.”

After reviewing internal processes, staff said Thursdays would work better than Wednesdays, leading to this week’s recommendation before council of

Thursdays at 4 p.m. for councillors and Fridays at 9 a.m. for media and the public.

Councillors Kathy Sinclair, Arjun Singh, Walsh and Donovan Cavers voted in favour of the amendment, with Mayor Ken Christian and councillors Lange, Ray Dhaliwal, Dieter Dudy and Pat Wallace opposed. After the amendment was defeated, council voted unanimously in favour of staff’s recommendations.

Police will not march in Kamloops Pride Parade Kamloops’ first off-campus pride parade took place last summer and another event is scheduled for late August.

RCMP will not take part in the march.

DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

There will be no RCMP presence in this year’s Pride Parade — instead, the gay community and the police are continuing to build a relationship.

Kirstin McLaughlin, president of Kamloops Pride, said her group has been meeting with local police for the past year, gatherings sparked by the reality an RCMP presence in their parades can be “polarizing and divisive.”

In Alberta, for example, the Pride parade in Edmonton earlier this month was halted as protesters blocked the route and demanded the Pride Society there disinvite the RCMP, Edmonton police and military members and

are helping to build a positive relationship.

“There’s no reason to rush what

has really been meaningful dialogue,” she said. “We’re not going to rush a decision just because of the parade.”

Instead, Kamloops Pride has reached out to its community asking what concerns exist that can be brought to the attention of the police, discussions that have led to positive steps, McLaughlin said.

The parade is on Sunday, Aug. 26, starting and ending at Riverside Park. This year, plans are to build the event into more of a festival with activities, booths and food trucks possible.

Property tax deadline next week City of Kamloops property taxes are due on July 3.

They can be paid at most financial institutions, through online and telephone banking, by mail or in person at city hall, 7 West Victoria St. Some residents may have payments

This year, taxes increased by two per cent. A 10 per cent penalty will be added to those who are late in submitting their payments.

NATIONAL NEWS HARPER PLANS VISIT TO WHITE HOUSE WITHOUT TELLING GOVERNMENT CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Former prime minister Stephen Harper is reportedly planning a trip to the White House next week, bucking convention by not informing the Canadian government of his visit.

CTV says emails they have obtained show U.S. officials are expecting Harper to visit Washington on July 2, one day after Canada’s retaliatory tariffs on imports of a wide range of U.S. goods and as well as steel and aluminum are set to come into effect.

The broadcaster reports Harper is planning to meet with U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton, who was the U.S. ambassador to the UN when Harper was prime minister.

However, CTV says the purpose of Harper’s meeting is not clear.

The visit to the U.S. capital comes amid heightened tensions

CRA: $3B DODGED BY CANADIANS IN FOREIGN INCOME CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — A new federal analysis says Canadians dodged paying Ottawa between $800 million and $3 billion worth of taxes on foreign personal income in 2014.

The study by the Canada Revenue Agency says the missing funds represented between 0.6 per cent and 2.2 per cent of the income tax revenue Ottawa collected that year from individuals.

The agency says the federal government collected up to $14.6 billion less than it would have in 2014, had all tax obligations been fully met — and that number is expected to grow as research continues.

The latest numbers are being released as Ottawa invests more resources in analyzing and cracking down on tax evasion.

Alberta on the rebound ECONOMY RECOVERED TWO-THIRDS OF RECESSION LOSS CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — The Alberta government says the provincial economy has recovered about two-thirds of its losses from the last recession.

The economy grew by 4.9 per cent last year and is expected to add 2.7 per cent this year.

The government’s 2017-2018 annual report says Alberta ended the year with an $8-billion deficit — $2.5 billion lower than expected.

The better-thanexpected results were partly due to higher bitumen royalties and

investment income.

The NDP government says it’s on track to return to balanced books in 20232024.

Net debt was at $19.3 billion as of March 31 — about $1 billion lower than forecast in the budget.

“Our government has been clear — we are going to have the backs of Albertans.

That’s why we made

sure to invest in the services families need while keeping a steady hand guiding the province out of this recession,’’ Finance Minister Joe Ceci said in a release.

“We know that we still have work to do, but we will not let up until all Albertans feel the economic recovery. We are growing an economy that is built to last.’’

A rebound in the energy sector, driven by improved oil prices, led the recovery.

Conventional oil and gas drilling was up by 65 per cent. The manufacturing and forestry sectors also saw stronger performance.

Non-renewable resource revenue was $5 billion — up $1.9 billion from the previous year and $1.2 billion higher than the budget estimate.

Alberta’s population grew by nearly 58,000 residents, including more than 26,000 migrants.

The province says 90,000 jobs were added in 2017.

Feds look to LNG CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr says Canada’s pathway to a clean energy future includes not only transitioning to renewable sources of energy but also technology that makes traditional fossil fuels cleaner to both produce and burn.

That path is laid out in a new report today which points not only to developing more wind and solar power, but also to the environmental and economic benefits of Canada producing, shipping and

burning oil and natural gas that is cleaner and more cost efficient.

The two tracks are the main advice in the report from Carr’s generation energy advisory council, a group of 14 people from the energy sector, indigenous communities and environmental groups.

The minister said oil and gas will be part of the energy mix for a long time and Canada’s long-term goal is to become the world’s cleanest producer of liquefied natural gas, which can displace dirtier sources of electricity around the world.

Carr said the report’s advice is closely aligned with a recent consensus reached by G20 energy ministers on how to move the world off the dirtiest sources of energy and will form the basis of Canada’s national energy strategy which will be developed more fully in August during a federal-provincial energy ministers meeting.

Greenpeace Canada is concerned that the report was developed largely by the fossil fuel industry and is not going to move the needle away from oil and gas very much.

Laser restrictions coming CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — Ottawa is moving to ban highpowered lasers from Canada’s three largest cities due to the dangers they pose when pointed at aircraft.

Transport Minister Marc Garneau announced measures on Thursday prohibiting possession of a battery-operated handheld laser over one milliwatt without a legitimate purpose, such as

for work or education.

The restrictions apply to municipalities in greater Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver, as well as within 10 kilometres of any Canadian airport or heliport.

‘I Shop Canada’ campaign launches amid trade dispute CANADIAN PRESS

Canada’s largest private sector union is launching a national social media campaign to urge consumers to support Canadian jobs by buying products and services made in Canada.

Unifor national president Jerry Dias says the “I Shop Canada’’ campaign is its response to an “escalating trade war with the United States.”

The campaign urges consumers, workers and companies to share information and images about made-in-Canada

goods and services on Twitter using the #IShopCanada hashtag and ?IShopCA tag and on Facebook, where an I Shop Canada frame for profile pictures is also available.

Dias says consumers will gladly support Canadian brands and

A21

services if they are aware of them.

The launch comes just before Canada Day, when Ottawa intends to implement retaliatory tariffs on $16.6-billion worth of American products to counter U.S. tariffs on Canadian steel and

aluminum imposed as of June 1.

An online poll conducted by Abacus Data in the first week of June found more than half of 2,200 Canadians surveyed said they intend to avoid buying U.S. wines and cross-border shopping.

The polling industry’s professional body, the Marketing Research and Intelligence Association, says online surveys cannot be assigned a margin of error as they are not a random sample and therefore are not necessarily representative of the whole population.

REPORT: CANADIAN FAMILIES IN DAYCARE ‘DESERTS’ OTTAWA — An estimated 776,000 Canadian children live in areas of the country parched of available daycare spaces, suggests a new report that outlines the statistical flip side of high child care costs in some parts of the country.

The study by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, being released Thursday, says 44 per cent of all school-aged children live in socalled “child-care deserts’’ where the number of children outstrips the available spaces in licensed homes and centres.

TORONTO — Though he officially takes up the premier’s mantle on Friday, Doug Ford has already set the wheels in motion for several of his plans for Ontario — and one expert predicts the Progressive Conservative leader will move quickly on his agenda once he seizes the reins of the province.

In the weeks since his party’s sweeping victory at the polls, Ford has vowed to make dismantling the province’s cap-andtrade system his first order of business, a move that led to the cancellation of several green energy initiatives funded through the program.

He has also placed the public service under a hiring freeze, with the exception of essential frontline staff, and ordered that all discretionary spending such as meals for staff meetings be put on hold.

The Tories have also reached out to the group representing Ontario doctors to reopen contract negotiations rather than proceed to scheduled arbitration, saying they want to repair a relationship that soured under the previous regime.

Genevieve Tellier, a political science professor at the University of Ottawa, said it’s unusual for a govern-

DOUG FORD: Progressive Conservatives won sweeping victory in Ontario’s June election.

ment to enact such measures before the cabinet is sworn in. She said it suggests Ford is “very serious” about his agenda and Ontarians should expect to see him act on many of his other promises “quite rapidly.”

At the same time, there are risks in acting quickly, particularly when it comes to complex policies with farreaching ramifications, such as carbon pricing, she said.

“I’m not sure he’s concerned about the long-term consequences. I think he wants to see short-term results quickly and if there are some problems that will come eventually, he will deal with those problems eventually, we’ll see how,” she said.

Ford has not yet said when he will recall the legislature but maintains he wants to start working on his plan quickly.

The Toronto politician, who campaigned largely on a promise of fiscal responsibility but did not release a

fully costed platform, has pledged to launch a line-by-line audit of the government’s spending in order to eliminate waste.

Ford has also vowed to return the budget to balance by the third or fourth year of his mandate and said he would find billions in efficiencies each year without cutting jobs.

Dealing with the financial consequences of his promises will likely be one of Ford’s biggest challenges in the coming year, said Tellier.

“It’s easy to launch new initiatives, deliver on the promises, but then what are the impacts on the budget,” she said.

Ford could bring forward a budget in the fall but it’s more likely he will present an economic update and wait until spring for a full fiscal plan, she said, adding his government will have a busy fall session even without a budget.

Almost everything that was in the Liberals’ last budget was adopted by the government before the election, which means Ford will have to pass legislation to roll back any initiatives he disagrees with, Tellier said.

This includes a minimum wage hike scheduled for next year, which Ford opposes and has promised to replace with an income tax credit for those earning minimum wage.

The Tory leader’s focus on government belt-tightening will also likely affect the size and makeup of his cabinet, she said.

Ford thrust a handful of Tory candidates in the spotlight during the campaign — including the party’s interim leader, Vic Fedeli, and former leadership rivals Christine Elliott and Caroline Mulroney — which some observers suggested may have hinted at his cabinet appointments.

The premier-designate has also suggested he may reduce the size of his cabinet, which Tellier said is an easy way to appear to be trimming the fat.

Elliott and Mulroney will likely score a cabinet position “to show unity within the party,” said the professor, who also predicted many of the new ministers would come from the business sector.

Whether Ford favours more experienced legislators or fresh faces will depend on the tone he wants to set, she said.

“Will he want to shake up things, come up with new ideas and let’s forget the past, this is brand new, or will there be some kind of continuity?’’ she said.

Ford and his cabinet are set to be sworn in Friday morning in the legislature lobby before holding a public ceremony just outside the building.

BRIEFS Musketeers and Munsch at X Fest X Fest returns next month with two familyfriendly productions — The Three Musketeers and The Three Munsch-keteers.

This live theatre at Prince Charles Park kicks off on July 9 and continues to July 28 with alternating performances of the two plays.

The Three Musketeers is based on the classic Alexandre Dumas book with a new twist

by Kamloops actor/writer Dusan Magdolen. In his version, it’s a woman who seeks to join the much-heralded king’s musketeers but she can only do it by disguising herself as a man.

It’s described as a spirited retelling of the story with intense romance, raucous drinking, courtly intrigue “and more fights than you can shake a sword at.”

The Three Munsch-keteers is five stories by Robert Munsch brought to life in a fast-paced theatre adventure. It features Moose!, We Share Everything!, Just One Goal!, Wait and See and Where is Gah-Ning?

This year, X Fest includes pay-what-you-can matinees on July 14 and July 28, with two-forone matinees on July 9 to July 11. Tickets are available at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kamloopslive.ca.

Work of Sondheim coming to a River City stage

Former Kamloopsian Alan Corbishley returns to the River City on July 11 for a presentation of Side by Side by Sondheim, a Tony

Award-winning musical based on the works of Stephen Sondheim.

It’s part of a three-stop tour. Corbishley will also present it in Vancouver on July 7 and Sidney on July 13.

Only 200 tickets will be sold for the Kamloops show. They are $4 for students and seniors, $19.75 for parents of students attending the Kamloops Interior Summer School of Music, and $25.50 for adults.

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

Stellar lineup at Kaslo Jazz Festival

The Kaslo Jazz Festival features Buffy Sainte-Marie, Mavis Staples and Jill Barber at its annual event at Kaslo Bay Park from Aug. 3 to Aug. 5.

Other performers include Shakey Graves, Shovel and Rope and Shred Kelly.

Tickets are $245 for a weekend pass, $100 for an adult day pass. For youth, the weekend pass is $122.50 and day pass is $50. Children 12 and under are admitted free with identification and a parent or guardian.

Tickets can be bought online at kaslojazzfest.com.

Caravan Theatre’s latest production sounds like a wild one

Caravan Theatre’s latest production is a fastpaced musical farce set in a fictional B.C. town set to open a new coal plant. It’s also a world where coyotes morph into men, cowboys fall in love with environmentalists and crows wax philosophical.

Law of the Land is a mix of mask work, music, physical comedy and political satire.

If you’re not bringing your own picnic, a licensed cash-only concession is available on site for snacks.

Tickets are available online at ticketseller.ca and are $35 for adults, $33 for seniors and $15 for youth aged 18 and under. Early bird and preview discounts are available.

TORONTO — Some Canadians with a hankering for movie theatre popcorn without the trek to a cinema are in luck.

Cineplex Inc. has started to offer delivery of concession stand snacks — popcorn, hot dogs, candy, nachos and soft drinks _ to customers in 60 communities throughout Ontario, Alberta, B.C. and Quebec this week.

The offering, a partnership with Uber Eats, comes months after Cineplex tested delivery in university towns in southern Ontario and as the entertainment giant ramped up its efforts to diversify its revenue beyond movie screenings, whose profits can be unpredictable because they are dependent on the strength of the films studios roll out.

To combat that unpredictability and the popularity of ondemand streaming services that

expansion to unserviced areas, Jacob said Cineplex will look at using its Rec Room gaming bars and head office as hubs for delivery or consider opening a distribution centre.

For now, he said the company will focus on Ontario, Alberta, B.C. and Quebec because of their high populations and the company’s large network of theatres there.

The foods Cineplex will deliver from theatres in those provinces will be packaged for deliveries.

Popcorn will be double-bagged and sealed at the top, so kernels don’t spill out in transit and hot dogs will be wrapped in foil and dropped off alongside condiments in small packages.

On top of concession stand treats, customers will also be able to order combos that include movie rentals from the Cineplex Store.

If the service takes off, Jacob said delivery customers might see new treats crop up for delivery.

are increasingly convincing film lovers to stay home to watch movies, Cineplex has expanded concession stand products, offered VIP seating and opened Rec Room gaming bars and a Playdium arcade centre in Ontario.

Those ventures have drawn in a young demographic that is also likely be a fan of the delivery service, Cineplex CEO Ellis Jacob said.

“I know when I was studying for exams, I didn’t want to leave (the house), but I still wanted a treat,’’ he said. “This allows you to do that or if you’ve got little kids and you want to watch something at home, you can do that and have the goodies at the same time.’’

The service is available in cities including Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Ottawa and Montreal, but parts of downtown Toronto will be left out of the offering because some theatre concession stands aren’t easily accessible for Uber Eats drivers.

Sharing my lifelong love of lettering O

ne of my defining childhood memories was the Christmas I was 12, when our truck was broken into at the rest top at the top of the Coquihalla on our way back from my dad’s house.

What was stolen that day included all of our recently opened presents, including a new and cherished calligraphy set. One of the things that helped my sisters and I through the ordeal, was the thought of the thieves hand lettering an apology note.

And so began my slight obsession with decorative lettering that has stayed consistent over the years. I have always appreciated a

good, hand-written note and doodling during phone conversations was a must while stuck in one place. With the advent of mobile, I spend more time pacing now but the love of letters persists.

Two years ago I was lucky enough to take a lettering course from Colleen Pastoor of the Lemon Thistle blog at our studio. My pointed pen and ink was soon side by side its brushtip markers and my beloved Pentel pens that 4 Cats so thoughtfully keeps in stock.

Hand lettering, to me, is the perfect way to be creative without defining myself as “artistic” or “talented” or any of those buzz words that can some-

times keep people from pursing creative endeavours.

Am I going to win any awards for the flourishes and swooping letters that adorn my Christmas cards or thank you gifts?

Not a chance, but it gives me a great excuse to stockpile paper and pens as though they are going out of production.

It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside when someone mentions I have nice writing.

“Oh that old thing, took me just a minute,” I casually say, as I dance around on the inside and fail to mention the 14 rough drafts where I

BRIANNE SHEPPARD Maker

MOVEMENT aligned the letters just so.

I have decorated everything from envelopes to banners, giant

signs for the side of the house and all paper that happens to be laying around the house and I have loved every minutes of it. So here are my words of advice if you, too, want the handwriting of a modern day maven.

Practice — there is no getting around it. The more you letter the more you will like the results. You can print out practice sheets online and even individual letter guides.

Once you have nailed down the perfect single letter, work on stringing them together in a pleasing manner.

Try different pens and materials. From a pointed pen and ink to watercolour brushes and brush pens, what you use will greatly impact how it looks.

Play around on vellum, watercolour paper, smooth printer paper and cardboard boxes.

You’ll start to find something that works well for you.

Share the love and use your newfound skills to write out some

good old-fashioned thank you cards to the important people in life and start saving up to buy more pens — and paper, and ink. Share your creations with us on Instagram at @_ makeshift — we would love to see.

Gustavo, Camper from Vancouver, BC Gustavo was thrilled at the opportunity to attend the Tim Horton Children’s Ranch in Kananaskis, Alberta. While he had always been passionate about the arts, he was eager to explore other activities outside his comfort zone.

Be it hiking or rafting, he discovered exciting new activities he’d never tried before. And by pushing his boundaries, he also developed a passion for helping others do the same. Now whether he’s doing volunteer work for students with disabilities, sharing his passion for art with his peers, or advocating for LGBTAQ+ issues, Gustavo has the courage to be the change he wants to see in his community.

Sony’s video on demand platform Crackle to halt its Canadian service DAVID FRIEND

CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Sony Pictures’ free streaming video platform Crackle is packing up its Hollywood entertainment and leaving Canada.

The ad-supported service posted a notice on its website saying that starting Thursday it will no longer offer its library of older movies and TV shows to Canadian viewers.

The move comes as Bell Media prepares to launch two of its own video-ondemand platforms, CTV Movies and CTV Vault, later this year. Both will house a collection of older film and TV shows owned by Sony.

While Crackle has never rivalled the awareness of Netflix and CraveTV in

Canada, it was one of the few streaming options in the market when it launched in 2010.

The brand fostered Jerry Seinfeld’s Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee before the show was acquired by Netflix last year, and produced films including Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser and Chosen, which was among the first streaming TV series with a narrative arc designed to encourage binge viewing.

Aside from its original content, Crackle is also known for a rotating selection of popular movies like Men in Black, The Karate Kid series, and Seth Rogen comedy The Interview, which play on demand with frequent advertisement breaks.

But in recent years,

It has confirmed the service will be available on a number of devices, including Chromecast, Apple TV and XBox One. Few platforms offer adsupported, free access to big-ticket Hollywood entertainment in the Canadian marketplace, though the main broadcast networks — including CTV, City, Global and CBC — stock recent episodes and a limited library of films on their websites and apps.

Crackle began shifting its priorities for the Canadian market by selling the distribution rights for many of its original programs to rival streaming platforms.

Startup, a TV drama about the creation of a cryptocurrency, was acquired

by Amazon Prime Video in Canada, while Dennis Quaid’s The Art of More and Bryan Cranston-voiced animated series SuperMansion went to the now-defunct Shomi, owned by telecom companies Rogers and Shaw.

Many of those series have since become unavailable in the Canadian market.

Early plans for CTV’s free streaming platforms indicate that like Crackle it will offer older content with commercials, though Bell Media says it hasn’t determined all

Box office top 20: ‘Jurassic World’ debuts with $148M CANADIAN PRESS

NEW YORK — Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom was never expected to approach the recordsetting heights of 2015’s Jurassic World, but it still took a mighty bite out of the box office with a $148 million debut, according to final ticket sales figures Monday.

The opening proved that the 25-year-old Jurassic Park franchise remains a massive draw, even when trailed by mediocre reviews.

The follow-up to Jurassic World (which debuted with $208.8 million three years ago) earned just a 50 per cent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. But audiences gave it an A-minus CinemaScore.

After opening with an animated-feature record $182.7 million last week, Pixar’s acclaimed Incredibles 2 slid to second with $80.3 million. Rarely

have two such popular films filled theatres at once. The weekend’s total ticket sales ranked as one Hollywood’s biggest overall weekends ever.

closest to the southeastern edge of the Sea of Galilee.

Historically, Gadara was part of the allotment granted to the tribe of Gad, one of the 12 Israelite tribes descended from the sons of Jacob.

The Book of Numbers says that the Gadites petitioned Moses to grant them the land on the east side of the Jordan “because they had very large flocks”.

The map of the tribal allotments in the back of my NIV Bible shows Gad possessing almost the entire eastern bank of the Jordan River all the way to the southern edge of the Sea of Galilee.

In 733 to 731 BC, the Assyrian king Tilgath-Pileser III conquered the area along with all the rest of Israel, and killed or deported virtually the entire population. The tribe of Gad became one of the fabled “10 lost tribes” of Israel. But its name for the area survived.

One of the features of the Decapolis was Greek language and culture.

Hellenized Jews also lived there. These were ethnic Jews of the diaspora who had adopted much of the cultural practices of the Greeks, which likely included a relaxation of the Mosaic dietary laws prohibiting the eat-

ing of pork.

The story of the Gadarene swine does make sense, however, if one makes certain assumptions. Jesus clearly stated that his mission was to the “lost sheep” of Israel.

I think the possessed man was one of them.

I also think that those tending the pigs were Hellenized Jews, and perhaps the primary owner of the herd was as well.

Scripture warns that a demon can not only can re-possess someone, but “take with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself.”

Being possessed by multiple demons is definitely possible.

When Jesus challenged the demons of the Gadarene man to identify themselves, they said, “My name is Legion, for we are many” (a legion in the Roman army was 3,000 to 6,000 soldiers, but it refers generally to a huge number).

In other words, there were likely enough to infest 2,000 pigs.

There are several points to take from this story.

The primary one is that Jesus has divine authority over all of creation, including evil spirits.

He also wanted to send a strong message to the Hellenized Jews of Gadara.

For that reason he told the healed man, who begged to come with Jesus, “‘Go home to your family and them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.’

“So the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him.”

Saving one Gadite was worth far more than a herd of pigs.

Dogs craving jolt at Canada Day Classic MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

E

nding a nearly two decade drought would provide a much-needed boost to a team mired in a morale-testing sea-

son.

The Kamloops Kal Tire RiverDogs, who are 5-22 in 2018 B.C. Baseball College Prep League play, will host the Daley and Company Canada Day Classic, which runs from Friday to Monday on McArthur Island.

Kamloops has not claimed gold since winning the inaugural tournament, a 17-year streak that includes silver medals in 2008, 2011 and 2013.

The Parkland Twins (formerly the Spruce Grove White Sox) of the Baseball Alberta Tier 1 Midget AAA Norwest League are threetime Canada Day Classic defending champions, a squad led by coach Rob Boik, a former member of the TRU WolfPack baseball team.

“He kind of moved there and built it up,” RiverDogs’ coach Sean Wandler said of Boik. “If you have that one fixture of an individual, it always helps to have that stability to try to build a legacy. They usually come in as one of the top teams in the Alberta league.”

The top teams in that Alberta league are often comparable in talent to squads in the B.C. Premier Baseball League, B.C.’s top development league. The B.C. College Prep League is one tier below the premier league.

Kamloops will compete in Pool A against the Red Deer Braves, who toil in the tier 1 Alberta league, the Edmonton Padres, who play in the tier 2 Alberta league, and the North Island Cubs and North Fraser Nationals, both of which play in the B.C. Baseball

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW Grayden Baker of the Kamloops RiverDogs applies the tag at second base on Canada Games Field on McArthur Island in B.C. College Prep League action earlier this season.

The Dogs will play their round-robin games in Norbrock Stadium this weekend at the Daley and Company Canada Day Classic, which gets underway on Friday.

Midget AAA League, a tier below the College Prep League.

The mixed level of competition makes the tournament interesting for fans, coaches and players.

Wandler, for example, is not sure what to expect from the Padres, who are new to the Alberta league.

“It breaks up the season and it provides excitement for the kids,” Wandler said. “You can kind of get into a lull with the league play, going out and playing four games every weekend that are part of the larger 40-game schedule sheet.

It’s a little mini-season. And the kids get to play in the stadium [Norbrock Stadium].”

Kamloops will play each of its pool games at Norbrock, its first coming against Edmonton on Friday. Game time is 7 p.m. The Dogs will play twice on Saturday — against Red Deer, a 3 p.m. start, and North Fraser, with first pitch

slated for 8:30 p.m. The club will finish round-robin action with a tilt against North Island on Sunday, a 6 p.m. start.

The tournament final is scheduled for 3 p.m. on Monday at Norbrock.

Rounding out the teams in Pool B are the Lloydminster-based Northwest Prairie Pirates of the Saskatchewan Premier Baseball League, the Whalley Chiefs of the B.C. Premier League, the Kelowna Sun Devils of the B.C. midget AAA league and the Ridge Meadow Royals of the College Prep League.

B.C. Baseball did away with catchment areas in 2016, making the College Prep League more attractive to some of the province’s highest-calibre players, many who might previously have chosen to play in the Premier Baseball League.

That free-for-all catchment system can be great for Lower

Mainland teams, with better players and improved coaching contributing to superior programs, but it does little for the Dogs, who rely almost solely on Kamloops Minor Baseball Association products.

Wandler set a modest goal before the season when speaking to KTW, saying his RiverDogs may have what it takes to achieve a .500 record.

A rash of injuries in the first half of the campaign did not help the Dogs’ chances of reaching that mark. The team carried 10 players through four road games last weekend against two of the league’s best teams — Chilliwack and Cloverdale — and were swept.

Wandler said injured key cogs Grayden Baker and Trey Alec are hopeful to return to the lineup for the Canada Day Classic.

“Every once in a while, like every team, we get smacked

around a bit but, overall, if you look at our games, we’re in every one of them,” Wandler said. “The kids are competing. Hopefully, this tournament gets guys a little more excited and gets them going for the second half.”

MCARTHUR MADHOUSE The Sussex All-Star Tournament, hosted by the Kamloops Minor Baseball Association, will ensure McArthur Island is rocking this weekend.

There will be 32 teams competing in three divisions — 11-andunder mosquito AAA, 13-andunder peewee AAA and 15-andunder bantam AAA. The KMBA will be represented

by AA and AAA teams in both the peewee and bantam divisions and a pair of teams in the mosquito division.

Loewen, Stuart talk draft, new-look Blazers MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Jermaine Loewen, a Jamaican orphan who was drafted into the NHL last weekend, is already among the greatest stories in Kamloops Blazers’ history.

The Dallas Stars used the 199th overall pick in the seventh and final round to claim 20-yearold Loewen, who was at the NHL club’s development camp this week when he spoke to KTW. “When I didn’t see my name coming up on the phone, I was thinking, well, I’m just going to have to show up to a camp and prove people wrong, that I should have been drafted, but then I got drafted,” Loewen said. “It was a relief. “[Being the first Jamaican] means a lot to me. I don’t know how to explain how awesome and surreal the feeling is.”

The 6-foot-4, 206-pound power forward, who was adopted

by Stan and Tara Loewen and brought home to Arborg, Man., did not start playing organized hockey until he was 10.

Kamloops nabbed Loewen in Round 2 of the 2013 WHL Draft.

KTW FILE PHOTO Jermaine Loewen of the Kamloops Blazers threw less fists and scored more goals last season than he did in 2016-2017. The 6-foot-4, 206-pound forward from Arborg, Man., was drafted by the Dallas Stars on the weekend.

He showed up to training camp when he was 15 and told KTW he was out to prove doubters wrong, that he could make it to the WHL and had eyes on playing pro hockey.

He failed to register a goal in his 16-year-old season, going 37 games without a marker. He bumped the slump in his 48th career game in his 17-year-old season when he tallied against the Prince George Cougars.

Big things were expected from Loewen in his 18-year-old cam-

&

paign, coming into 2016-2017 with confidence after an invite to San Jose Sharks’ development camp in the off-season, but he finished with two less goals (six) and only two more points (17) than he did in his 17-year-old season.

He was passed over in the NHL Draft for the second time.

“I remember crying on my bed when I didn’t get drafted,” Loewen said. “The next day I was training.”

Then came 2017-2018 — and

the Jermaine Train chugged along full steam.

Loewen led the Blazers in points, with 64, and goals, with 36, in 66 games and was named team MVP. He is aiming to become the second Jamaican-born player to crack an NHL roster, the first being Graeme Townshend, who was not an NHL Draft pick, but played 45 games with three teams in The Show.

Chances are Loewen will spend his 20-year-old season

with the Blazers and he is a good bet to be captain, with Nick Chyzowski having moved on to play with Waterloo in the U Sports ranks.

“I hope to be in Kamloops,” said Loewen, a fan favourite at Sandman Centre. “There have been question marks with people about if I’m going to be back or not. If I progress, work hard and train this summer, anything is possible, with me playing in the Coast [ECHL] or in the A [AHL].

“But, for me and for development, it would be best to play in the Dub and have success there, learn how to be a leader, be a pro every single day and be the guy again, which would be huge.”

Loewen was pegged 160th among North American skaters in NHL Central Scouting heading into the draft. He landed 199th overall, as did New England Patriots’ quarterback Tom Brady.

Teammate Brodi Stuart, who is heading into his 18-year-old season with the Blazers, was ranked 129th, but was passed over.

Consolation came in an invite to Pittsburgh Penguins’ development camp.

Chyzowski of Kamloops earns call to NHL development camp From A32

“It was a little disappointing, not going to lie,” said Stuart, a skilled forward from Langley.

“Obviously, it’s not the end of the world. Being able to come to Pittsburgh’s camp is still a huge honour. I’ve got to keep pushing. It’s just a speed bump right now.

Hopefully, the dream can still come true.”

Loewen had a few encouraging words for Stuart.

“I almost got passed over three times,” Loewen said. “It didn’t happen even though he was on central scouting. Sometimes those disappointments are going to be great for your career.

For him, maybe it’s going to motivate him. It’s part of the journey.”

Two players from

Kamloops can relate to Stuart.

Ryan Chyzowski, a rightshot forward who turned 18 in May, had 52 points, including 21 goals, in 72 games with the Medicine Hat Tigers last season. He was 95th on central scouting’s list, but was not drafted.

He received an invite this week to Vegas Golden Knights’ camp.

John Ludvig, a left-shot

defenceman who turns 18 in August, had two goals and seven points in 51 games with the Portland Winterhawks last season. He was ranked 137th by central scouting, but was not selected in the draft.

Loewen and Stuart will return to an organization that has undergone a total makeover, with Serge Lajoie replacing Don Hay as the Blazers’ head coach and

Matt Bardsley succeeding Stu MacGregor as general manager. A yet-to-be-hired assistant coach will replace Mike Needham.

“It’s going to be great,” Loewen said. “I’m excited to meet Matt and Serge. It’s going to be good for us to have a different look on the game and different nuances he’s [Serge] going to throw out there.

“For me, learning to adapt

to somebody else is going to be big if I want to make it and push to the next level. It keeps me excited to play.”

Added Stuart: “When it all happened, I didn’t really know what to think. All the staff that was here this past year were really good and I enjoyed having them, but definitely really excited for all the new staff and coach and GM. I have a feeling this is going to be a good year.”

Blazers pick twice at CHL Import Draft The Kamloops Blazers selected a skilled forward from the Czech Republic and a towering Finnish defenceman at the CHL Import Draft on Thursday.

Blazers’ general manager Matt Bardsley nabbed 5-foot-10, 165pound forward Martin Lang of Rokycany, Czech Republic, 14th overall.

“Martin is able to play the game with pace,” Bardsley said. “He has good puck skills and has shown the ability to finish at all levels, which was evident as he was a key contributor to his Czech Republic U17 team at the World Under-17 Challenge.”

Lang, a right shot, had two goals and three points for the Czechs at

the 2017 World U17 Challenge in Dawson Creek and helped his team to a bronze medal.

The 2001-born forward was the top scorer for HC Plzen in 20172018, finishing the season with 59 points, including 37 goals, in 35 games.

Joonas Sillanpaa, a left-shot Finnish blue liner, was picked by the Blazers 74th overall.

The 2001-born D-man is 6-foot-5 and weighs 181 pounds.

“Joonas is a big, rangy defenceman who can contribute in all areas of the ice,” Bardsley said. “He displays good offensive instincts, along with good mobility while showing a willingness to engage physically.”

DODDS TURN ATTENTION TO WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Diminutive Gavin Dodd casts a giant shadow, one his elder sister Kristina has lived in since her wunderkind brother became a world champion.

The Kamloops Gymnastics and Trampoline Centre super siblings shared the spotlight last weekend at the Trampoline Gymnastics Junior Pan American Championships in Cochabamba, Bolivia.

Both Valleyview secondary students won gold in doublemini trampoline, the discipline in which athletes run and jump onto the sloped end of the trampoline and spring onto the flat part before dismounting and trying to stomp their landing.

“I’m really proud of what I was able to achieve,” Kristina said. “It was such a great experience to be able to share it with Gavin, both achieving the medals that we did.”

The junior Pan Ams was a qualifier for the Youth Olympic Summer Games, which will be held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in October. The problem: Doublemini trampoline is not a sport at the Youth Olympics, meaning some countries did not send ath-

letes to compete at Pan Ams. While international competition was not strong, Gavin, 14, and Kristina, 16, were still pitted against top-tier Canadian teammates and it was an opportunity

to face the pressure of performing for international judges in front of big crowds.

“Bolivia was Kristina’s strongest-ever performance,” said KGTC coach Matt Wheele, who was also part of Canada’s coaching stable at Pan Ams. “She has absolutely blown me away.”

Gavin established himself as one of the planet’s best when he placed first in double-mini at the 24th International Gymnastics Federation Trampoline Gymnastics World Age Group Competition in Odense, Denmark.

In simpler terms, he became world champion in his 11- and 12-year-old age group. He also placed 23rd in trampoline.

The Type 1 diabetic followed with a silver medal in double-mini in the 13- and 14-year-old division at the world age group championships last year in Bulgaria. He also placed 14th in trampoline.

“Gavin, there’s nobody who

can touch him in Canada,” Wheele said. “He’s an absolute freak. Totally and completely. He’s insanely, insanely gifted.”

Kristina established herself as an international contender by qualifying for the 2017 world age group championships in Bulgaria in the 15- and 16-year-old doublemini category, but did not qualify for the final.

The Canadian Championships in Trampoline Gymnastics, which will run from July 4 to July 8 in Lethbridge, are a qualifier for the 2018 world age group championships, which will be held in November in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Wheele said Gavin — who at 14 is already performing at the 19-and-over senior national team level — is “pretty much a shoo-in” to qualify for worlds in doublemini and trampoline.

With her performance at Pan Ams, Kristina is bursting with confidence heading into nationals and hoping to snare a spot on Team Canada for worlds.

“I just don’t want to go in and hit my passes, I want to hit them well and just perform to the best I can and stick my landings,” Kristina said. “I’m really excited with how far I’ve come. Being able to make the national team is

something new for me.”

Gavin is reserved in his approach to answers to Olympicsrelated questions. His coach is less opaque.

“Paris in 2024 is kind of where I’d like to see him go and get his feet wet, rub off the Olympic experience and the starry-eyed expectations, while 2028 [in Los Angeles] will kind of be him in his prime and definitely looking for performance and possible podium contention,” Wheele said, noting Gavin is likely the youngest person ever to crack the Canadian junior team.

Gavin’s plans for his future also include work outside of a gym.

“Obviously, I have the goal to make it to the Olympics one day,” he said. “It’s so much bigger than anything I’ve gone to. Everyone knows the Olympics.

“But I also think I can turn this into different jobs, like Cirque du Soleil. I see myself continuing with the sport and continuing learning new stuff and seeing where it will get me.”

As for Kristina carving an international reputation of her own — Gavin’s thrilled to see it.

“I was super proud of her for being on the podium,” Gavin said.

“I know she really wanted to do well at this competition.”

A look at World Cup knockout matches RONALD BLUM

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Saturday FRANCE VS. ARGENTINA Lionel Messi & Co. was on the verge of elimination before Marco Rojos’ 86th-minute goal against Nigeria. With an average age of 26, France is among the youngest teams, led by dynamic 19-year-old striker Kylian Mbappe.

At 31, this likely is Messi’s last chance for the World Cup title he needs to match Diego Maradona in the minds of many Argentinians. While Argentina struggled, France must awaken from a somnambulant groupstage finale against Denmark.

URUGUAY VS. PORTUGAL Cristiano Ronaldo, like Messi a five-time FIFA Player of the Year, has four goals in the tournament

and leads the European champions against a Uruguay team known foremost for the bite marks Luis Suarez left in Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini four years ago.

Uruguay is the least-populous of the round of 16 teams.

SUNDAY SPAIN VS. RUSSIA World Cup hosts outside the soccer powers usually perform better than expected.

Russia should have huge support at Luzhniki Stadium, making it closer than the 10th vs. 70th matchup in the rankings.

Andres Iniesta, who scored the goal that won Spain’s first World Cup title in 2010, remains on a rebuilt roster that struggled defensively in the group stage.

CROATIA VS. DENMARK Tottenham past vs. Spurs present, with Luka Modric leading

Croatia and Christian Eriksen sparking Denmark.

Croatia was among the most impressive group-stage teams, beating Nigeria, Argentina and Iceland by a combined 7-1.

MONDAY BRAZIL VS. MEXICO El Tri fans hope for the elusive “quinto partido”’ — to reach a World Cup quarter-final for the first time since 1986, which was on home soil.

This is their best chance in years, with an attack led by Javier Hernandez and Carlos Vela.

Centre back Hector Moreno is suspended for yellow-card accumulation. Brazilian players are trying to atone for the 7-1 humiliation against Germany in the semifinals at home four years ago.

Philippe Coutinho has become as important to the Selecao attack as Neymar.

AUGUST 11 & 12, 2018

BELGIUM VS. JAPAN Belgium was among three teams to go 3-0 in group play, joining Croatia and Uruguay.

No. 61 Japan will be a heavy underdog against the third-ranked Red Devils.

Star forward Romelu Lukaku started the World Cup with consecutive two-goal games but missed Belgium’s group-stage finale with an ankle injury.

If Belgium advances, it would be in what appears to be the more difficult part of the bracket, lined up against Brazil or Mexico in the quarter-finals, then France, Argentina, Uruguay or Portugal in the semifinals.

TUESDAY SWEDEN VS. SWITZERLAND In its first World Cup in the post-Zlatan Ibrahimovic era, Sweden is looking to get past the

round of 16 for the first time since finishing third in 1994.

Swedish midfielder Sebastian Larsson is suspended, as are Swiss defenders Stephan Lichtsteiner and Fabian Schar. Switzerland is led by midfielders Xherdan Shaqiri and Granit Xhaka.

COLOMBIA VS. ENGLAND Harry Kane, whose five goals lead the World Cup, heads a young England team that finished group play without a shutout for the first time.

Los Cafeteros, led by James Rodriguez and Radamel Falcao, advanced over Senegal on a fair play tiebreaker based on fewer yellow cards and were the only team to reach the round of 16 after losing their opener.

By losing to Belgium, England faces what appears to be an easier path: Sweden or Switzerland in the quarter-finals, and Spain, Russia, Croatia or Denmark in the semifinals.

Going off the beaten path in Delhi IF YOU GO

MARGARET DEEFHOLTS

TRAVEL WRITERS’ TALES

T

he sari in a display window is disturbing.

It is a simple rustcoloured cotton garment, but on it are splashes of blood, some of them dark blotches, others smudged stains on the fabric.

This is a palette of vengeance and retribution, which although now 34 years into the past still evokes shock.

This was a garment once worn

by India’s prime minister, Indira Gandhi on October 31st 1984, the day she was assassinated by her Sikh bodyguards. She had ordered the military invasion of the Golden Temple, the Sikh holyof-holies in Amritsar, to flush out Sikh extremists demanding an independent state of Khalistan — an act that would cost Gandhi her life.

Today I’m in the house where she once lived — 1 Saftarjung Rd., located on a quiet tree-lined avenue in the heart of New Delhi.

Now a museum, the house is open to the public, but it is off the usual tourist trail and the only visitors today are school children on a field trip.

They listen intently without fidgeting to their teacher as she takes them from room to room.

Displayed on a wall at the entrance is an eerily prophetic speech Gandhi delivered on Oct. 30, 1984, just one day before she was killed.

“I am here today, I may not be here tomorrow ... I do not care if I live or die ... I am proud that I have spent the whole of my life in service to my people ... when I die, every drop of my blood will invigorate India.”

Noble words, but it didn’t invigorate the country.

Quite the reverse, actually — it provoked a storm of savage repri-

For more information on India’s National Crafts Museum, go online to nationalcraftsmuseum.nic.in.

The museum is located on Bhairon Road, Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, and galleries are open between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., but note they are closed on Mondays. The crafts demonstration area is open daily between 10 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., while the museum gift shop is open from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. The facility is closed on Indian national holidays.

sal against the Sikh community.

I move on to look at her family’s photographs — black and white shots of Indira as child and teenager, and then later, with her husband Feroze Gandhi and her late sons — Sanjay and Rajiv Gandhi, with the latter’s wife Sonia and their two attractive children.

Such seemingly normal, happy family moments. But beneath lies the darker truth.

Not for them was the cloak of ordinariness; they were larger than life personalities who lived and died in the cruel glare of political intrigue and malevolence.

A crystal glass-covered path-

way leads to the gate where the prime minister met her death and although I was never an admirer of Gandhi and her ruthless disregard for democratic principles, I am grudgingly impressed by a woman who, rightly or wrongly, stood by her beliefs despite fierce opposition and who, in doing so, paid the ultimate price for her draconian policies.

Also off the usual tourist route is a completely different attraction — the National Crafts Museum.

Today, the only visitors at the ticket office are a young couple with a baby who regards me with round-eyed solemnity over her

mother’s shoulder and a group of elderly citizens chatting to one another in Gujarati.

At the entrance, I’m pleasantly surprised by a display of terracotta Bankura horses from West Bengal — giant versions of the small brass ones on my living room mantelpiece at home.

Leading off a courtyard with a sacred Tulsi (basil) plant at its centre is a honeycomb of galleries that display textiles, paintings and sculptures, all of which are as diverse and colourful as India itself.

Interesting as the galleries are, it’s the adjoining outdoor Village

complex that grabs my attention.

Sprawled across four acres are 15 traditional tribal dwellings ranging from slate-roofed stone houses in mountainous Kulu in the north to the rarely seen Toda tribal huts in the Nilgiri hills of the south, and from a round Banni home in Gujarat in the west to a Nagaland Konyak men’s house in the far east of the subcontinent.

Many are adorned with intricate tribal art — elaborate designs and colourful paintings of animals and people going about their daily tasks or enjoying special celebrations. There are some homely touches — a farmer’s wooden plough, a cooking pot on a stack of firewood in front of a family hut, a decorative stone peacock in a whitewashed room.

Live performances also take place here and strains of music lure me to a courtyard where a turbaned singer is belting out a lively Rajasthani folk song accompanied by castanets, a harmonium and a dholak (drum).

In an adjacent area, crafters demonstrate their skills and offer embroidered shawls, wood carvings, paintings and jewelry for sale.

On my way out, I see a crowd of foreign visitors at the ticket office.

Perhaps the crafts museum isn’t that far off the tourist trail after all.

Obituaries & In Memoriam In Loving Memory of James Gordon Macleod December 15, 1959 – June 29, 2017

Nelly Olson 1928 - 2018

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Nelly Olson.

Nelly passed away peacefully on June 23, 2018. She was predeceased by her husband Mart who passed away in 2000.

Nelly leaves behind her loving sons Neal and Lyle, daughter Jo-Ann, grandsons Matthew and Tyler and granddaughters Nicole, Megan, Caitlin and Allison.

One year has passed since we last saw your face.

Miss you more than words can ever say.

Your loving wife Janet, mother Hazel, brother Dan, daughters Delilah and Darla, grandchildren Makaila, Dominic, Braxton, Joey and Luka,

Nelly was a very kind and loving person who was always there for her family. She was an avid crib player and was involved in volunteering with many seniors activities. She was truly a special person and her love and kindness will never be forgotten.

Nelly will be greatly missed by her family.

Geraldine Marie King With deep sadness we announce the passing of Geraldine King surrounded by her loving family. Geraldine was a mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. She was pre-deceased by her husband Pat, brothers Tom, Gerard, sisters Theresa and Loretta.

Leaving to mourn are her sons John (Leslie), Randy (Connie), sisters Stella (Tommy), Ann Marie (Al), Ursula (Allan), brother Patrick, numerous nieces and nephews.

Ask DRAKE Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director

Every Friday in KTW! Q. Why wouldn’t you put Murray into a cardboard box?

God’s Garden

God looked around his garden and found an empty place. He then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful he always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering. He knew you were in pain. He knew that you would never get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb.

So he closed your weary eyelids and whispered “Peace by Thine. It broke our hearts to lose you.

But you didn’t go alone. For part of us went with you the day God called you home.

No formal service by her request .

Arrangements entrusted to Kamloops Funeral Home 250-554-2577

A Celebration of Geraldine’s Life will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 7, 2018 at St. Michael’s Parish, Logan Lake Community Church, Logan Lake, BC.

Condolences may be sent to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

family and friends.

A. Before cremation, the body must go into a big box. It’s the law. I think cardboard is for storing books or other stuff for the attic. We use wood instead of cardboard, charge less, and make less money. But it’s the principle, and the same reason we give you a nice wooden urn instead of cardboard.

A Vanished Friend

by Anders Lim

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

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

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

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

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

Obituaries & In Memoriam November 16, 1935 - June 15, 2018 Garth Alexander Dickie, age 82, passed away peacefully June 15, 2018 at his residence at Ridgeview Lodge Care Facility. He was surrounded by his loving family.

By Joanetta Hendel, Indianapolis, Indiana

Garth was born in Chilliwack to Charles and Gladys in 1935. They moved to Kamloops in 1950, and soon after to Heffley Creek, where he remained until 2015 when he moved back to Kamloops. Garth was a long-time employee at Balco Industries, and ended his career building core boxes at Robertson Manufacturing. He loved his family, fishing, hunting, woodwork, fastball and hockey. He spent many years at Bonaparte Lake, completing projects for his wife Yvonne and other long-term residents. He was an active member in many organizations, including the Heffley Creek Water Works Association and the Community Association. He was also instrumental in building the softball fields, skating rink and community hall in Heffley Creek.

Garth is survived by his wife of 61 years Yvonne, by his children Teresa (Ray), Dy-Anna (Wayne), James (Rae-Anne), Glenna (David), Wayne (Marilyn), Angela (Steve) and his ten grandchildren, twelve great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. He also leaves behind his two brothers Terry (Thelma) and Dale (Debbie). We all have many fond memories and stories of Garth/Dad/Poppa and will love and miss him terribly.

The family will host a gather later this year to celebrate his memory, but in the meantime Garth would smile and laugh if everyone would raise a beer on his behalf.

Garth's family would like to thank Dr. Sigalet and all the caregivers at Ridgeview for the wonderful care they provided for him the last three years.

Condolences may be left for the family at www.Firstmemorialkamloops.com
