INTRODUCING THE

A3

A key portion of the TransCanada Highway widening project has been postponed to sometime next year — and MLA Todd Stone isn’t happy about it.

Stone, Kamloops-South Thompson MLA and former transportation minister under the previous B.C. Liberal government, said the third phase of the project he announced in 2013 was to have gone to tender this year, with a construction date anticipated in the fall.

Stone said he has learned the provincial government has decided to delay work on the area between Hoffman’s Bluff and Jade Mountain “and it’s beyond explanation.”

The $199-million project included

work already completed on the highway east of Kamloops through to the west end of Chase.

About 12,000 vehicles travel the highway through that corridor every day, Stone said, with about 30 per cent being large commercial trucks.

He said the stretch of highway records numerous accidents annually.

“We had everything lined up and ready to go,” Stone said, noting the project was supposed to move forward last fall.

It was delayed due to a change in government (after the B.C. NDP succeeded the B.C. Liberals) and the inherent transition issues as the new administration took office.

Stone said he started hearing earlier this year that another delay was possible and asked questions of Transportation and Infrastructure

Minister Claire Trevena in the spring, but received answers he considered lacking in details.

“It was enough to raise my eyebrows,” Stone said. “I’m trying hard to understand how the NDP can commit to accelerating this project with what could be a two-year delay.”

Stone expressed concern the federal government might rethink its contribution to the project, but a spokesperson for Infrastructure Canada said once that level of government commits money to a project, it remains available until the project is completed.

The spokesperson said delays mean moving the line item forward into the next fiscal-year budget.

A call to the Ministry of Transportation was not returned by KTW’s press deadline.

Premier John Horgan said price gouging, not higher taxes, is responsible for skyrocketing gasoline prices in British Columbia.

Horgan noted the price per litre in much of B.C. rose nine cents between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, which he said suggests fuel companies are seeking bigger profits.

In Kamloops, the price per litre spiked by about a dime, with the cost of gas in the Tournament Capital now at $147.8 at most gas bars.

World oil prices hit $75 on Thursday.

Horgan said there is a disconnect between the price of a barrel of oil and the price at the pumps, adding he has raised the issue of gouging with the federal government.

Dan McTeague of petroleum analyst website GasBuddy. com said the biggest cause of this week’s surge was “gas bar shenanigans,” as retailers who hadn’t passed on recent increases in wholesale prices decided to catch up all at once.

McTeague said price increases are also being driven by higher profit margins at refineries, stronger oil prices, the weak Canadian loonie and higher Canadian taxes on fuel.

What does Japanese Knotweed look like?

• grows up to 3 m tall and can grow in dense patches • hollow stems with purple and red speckles • heart-shaped leaves, 3-10 cm long • clusters of small, greenish-white flowers in sprays along the stems • roots extend 3 m deep and 14 m or more from the plant Why is Japanese Knotweed bad?

• grows rapidly and is invasive • erodes soil • affects fish habitats • damages property What can be done about knotweed?

• mechanical control for small infestations • chemical control twice per growing season • report it online at reportaweedbc.ca

What should I avoid doing?

To prevent the spread of knotweed: • • • • • • •

Don’t trade or share the plant with friends or neighbours.

Don’t weed-eat or mow knotweed - this will cause it to spread.

Don’t disturb or transport soil that is contaminated with knotweed roots - even the smallest piece will grow into a new plant.

Don’t compost or transport knotweed to a compost facility.

Don’t chip knotweed material - if you spread the chipped material on soil, knotweed could regrow.

Don’t dump garden waste with knotweed contamination in the countryside.

Don’t waste time - your best chance to get rid of knotweed is when it first appears.

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.

This sketch looks at how Seymour Street might be tamed, with wider sidewalks, creation of a multi-use pathway and the addition of trees and café and restaurant patios.

THE FUTURE OF DOWNTOWN KAMLOOPS IS IN YOUR HANDS JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

The City of Kamloops will test a pedestrian plaza concept downtown on Fourth Avenue this summer.

Vehicular traffic will be closed in a two-block section of the street — from near the Central Station Pub at Lansdowne Street to Jacob’s Noodle and Cutlet at Seymour Street — with tables, chairs and entertainment added to encourage a vibrant gathering area.

Victoria Street traffic and laneway access will be maintained, with the pilot project tentatively planned for the end of July, in time for the Kamloops International Buskers Festival, which runs from July 26 to July 29.

The pedestrian plaza concept comes on the heels of events like BrewLoops and Back Alley Block Party, which have drawn large crowds to the city’s downtown core.

“The turnout at these events is just getting larger and larger and we’re doing them with greater frequency as a community,” City of Kamloops community planner Carmin Mazzotta said.

“We want to trial this for a couple weeks this summer and gather some data in terms of pedestrian count and see how it’s being used. Then we can go from there and sort of expand that vision further in the coming years.”

The project arrives as the city seeks input on ideas for downtown Kamloops. Design drafts were recently released and will be available for public feedback until July 22.

The city is working to update its Downtown Plan (formerly dubbed City Centre Plan), which will guide planning and land use in the area for the next two decades. While some ideas like a Fourth Avenue plaza can be tested before they become permanent, others — such as daylighting Peterson Creek, which means restoring creeks to more natural states — poses landacquisition challenges.

“That’s sort of a dream big idea,” Mazzotta said.

One idea already rejected by voters has resurfaced among design concepts, which follow public-engagement sessions held in mid-June, including an open house and urban planning panel session.

Mazzotta said the city still receives feedback about the need for a performing-arts centre.

A referendum in 2015 to build a $90-million facility on the former Kamloops Daily News property at Seymour Street and Fourth Avenue was defeated by a

margin of 54 per cent to 46 per cent.

“Just acknowledging that that idea still exists and if and when it comes back, it might look a little differently,” Mazzotta said.

“It might have a housing component on it or something else. We wanted to flag that, again, responding to that community interest.”

The city is seeking feedback on the following preliminary-stage ideas: • Redesigning Fourth Avenue between Seymour and Lansdowne streets into a pedestrian-friendly area, with plazas and a portion of the street designated for pedestrian-only access. Victoria Street would remain open to vehicular traffic.

• Moving the parking lot on Victoria Street between the TNRD Building and Plaza Hotel underground and replacing it with a year-round pedestrian and events area that could be built with fixed and movable seating, trees and lighting to create a key gathering space.

A spray park/skating rink could provide year-round amenities.

• Establishing a public market at the former Value Village site at Seymour Street and Fifth Avenue, with a performing-arts centre and residential tower at the former Kamloops Daily News property at Fourth Avenue and Seymour Street.

• Improving pedestrian and cyclist access on Seymour Street, including widening sidewalks and creating a multi-use pathway. A double row of street trees could allow café and restaurant patios.

• Creating Kamloops Square in the 200 block of St. Paul and Seymour streets to enhance the Kamloops Farmers’ Market experience with a pedestrian-cyclist connection, mixed-use residential/commercial and green space.

• Redeveloping a provincially owned site at Columbia Street and Sixth Avenue, possibly including a café, bakery, small grocer or other shops to animate Columbia Street and provide amenities for local residents. The area could also integrate the Peterson Creek Park multi-use pathway, which is currently being built.

• Redeveloping three blocks between Sixth Avenue and Seventh Avenue, from Nicola to Seymour streets, including daylighting the creek and adding an elementary school at Seventh Avenue and Battle Street.

The public can weigh in on these ideas online at https://letstalk.kamloops.ca/downtownplan.

The city will consider resident feedback in drafting the Downtown Plan, which won’t be finalized until 2019.

MORTGAGE MATTERS Mortgage Features 101 When shopping for a mortgage, most consumers believe securing the best interest rate is their rst priority. However, obtaining the best rate does not always ensure you get the best mortgage! A good approach is to look at the individual features of the mortgage as well.

Here are some questions you need to ask: 1. Is my mortgage assumable?

A few years from now, you could decide to sell your home. At that time, a lowrate mortgage could become an extra selling point. If your mortgage is assumable, (meaning it can be transferred to another borrower), it can allow the purchaser to take on your mortgage’s terms and payments as part of the sale. This can be an attractive incentive, particularly if rates increase down the road.

2. What are my penalties for early repayment?

When choosing a mortgage, keep in mind that penalties are often the equivalent of three months’ mortgage payments, or an interest rate differential calculation, which is the difference between your current rate and the new rate. Penalty calculations vary with lenders, so add penalty to your considerations when choosing a mortgage.

3. What are my pre-payment privileges?

Pre-paying a portion of your mortgage balance penalty free can add up to huge savings over the term of your mortgage. However, these privileges will vary by lender. Some lenders will allow you to double up payments periodically, or make lump-sum payments of up to 20 per cent of the principal once a year. When negotiating your mortgage, make sure you understand the size and frequency of payments your lender allows.

4. Do I need a skip-a-payment option?

Some lenders offer an option to skip a payment without penalty, which may come in handy in a time of need.

5. Is my mortgage portable?

Many mortgages have a portability feature that allows you to transfer your existing mortgage over to a new property, but not all portability terms are the same. Some lenders allow as long as 120 days to transfer the mortgage, but others only allow for a few days or a week. Find out which rules apply to you.

Choosing the right mortgage involves considering all the features of a mortgage, not just rate. Working with a mortgage professional can help you make sense of the many options available to you.

Julie Chambers remembers the genesis of the school her company now runs.

It was sparked by phone calls from parents.

“They were getting called every day [by the school] to come get their kids,” said Chambers, director of Insight Support Services. “They were behavioural issues, but what the schools didn’t see were the invisible challenges of these kids.”

The children were on the autism spectrum, but functioned at a level where the traditional signs of the disorder weren’t apparent.

What the schools were seeing, Chambers said, were disruptive students. What the schools were not understanding is the kids weren’t acting out deliberately.

Their autism made it difficult for them to function like so-called typical children.

Chambers wanted to do something and opted to create a homeschooling option, using money allocated for it to hire tutors to teach what was originally six such young people.

“When they were in schools, their attendance rate was about 30 per cent,” Chambers said. “The stress level was 10 out of 10 for parents and the kids. The first year, we had 100 per cent attendance and they were all wanting to go on, even on non-instruction days.”

The group caught up academically and, when asked to again rate their anxiety on a scale of one to 10, it was a 1/10 or 2/10.

For parents, Chambers said, it was 1/10.

By the second year, the school had 20 students.

I’m so pro-inclusion. That’s what I want to “see.

But kids still have to have their needs met. We’re not closed to inclusion, but we’re willing to take a kid that’s being sent home all the time and being crushed.

”

— JULIE CHAMBERS, Insight Support Services director

Since then, it has grown to about 55 students, with almost 100 on a wait list. Seven students graduated with Dogwood certificates this year, two more than graduated last year.

As of this Sept. 1, the school will be partnering with the Kamloops-Thompson school district with an eye to expanding in coming years to take in other students with developmental challenges for whom the traditional public school system just doesn’t work.

Before, Insight was linked with the Nicola-Similkameen school district in Merritt, buying homeschool services from it.

The Kamloops-Thompson school district will provide three teachers. The staff of 17 also include teachers hired by Insight, behavioural counsellors, regular counsellors and speech and language experts.

Every student has an individual education plan, a document created not only by the teachers and parents, but with input from the entire team — including the child. They are living documents, Chamber said, that will be adapted and amended to “grow with the child.”

For Chambers, the benefit of working alongside the KamloopsThompson school district is the way her staff can continue to support the children who transition back into the public system.

It also gives her the chance to use other options the school district offers — students taking part in the art, heritage and science fairs or going to McQueen Lake Environment Centre. Existing outside partnerships will continue and include the John Tod Centre, Makerspace and the gym at Our Lady of Perpetual Hope school, which is across Tranquille Road from Insight.

Students also get involved with the Kamloops Food Bank and New Life Community Kamloops.

They learn from music teachers and spend time learning about how local businesses operate.

They read with senior buddies at care homes.

“What we always ask is, ‘Does it engage the student?’”

Chambers said.

As for how Insight impacts the concept of educational inclusion, Chambers said the issue has kept her awake many nights.

“I’m so pro-inclusion,” she said. “That’s what I want to see.

But kids still have to have their needs met. We’re not closed to inclusion [within the Insight school], but we’re willing to take a kid that’s being sent home all the time and being crushed.”

Dream Home may lure them back to Kamloops Y Dream Home Lottery spokesman Bryce Herman makes the call on Wednesday to tell Penticton’s Jo-Anne Hordel she has won the $650,000 Dream Home.

MICHAEL POTESTIO/KTW

MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Jo-Anne Hordal has a good reason to move back to Kamloops now that she’s won the 2018 Y Dream Home.

Answering a call from lottery spokesman Bryce Herman over the phone following the draw on Wednesday, Hordal couldn’t believe she had won the home.

“Are you kidding me?” asked Hordal, who had just returned from a doctor’s appointment in Kamloops that day when she took the call.

The 65-year-old retiree and her husband moved to Penticton just eight months ago, selling their Kamloops home and buying another in the Okanagan town of about 34,000 residents.

She said they moved to Penticton after retiring for a change of scenery, but while on the phone with Herman, Hordal said they are now considering moving back thanks to winning the luxury abode.

“It’s a possibility. We’re not sure. We want to just let all of this sink in first and see how it goes,” she told KTW. “We’re not going to make any rash judgements.”

The Hordals had lived in Kamloops for 40 years and have been buying Dream Home tickets for years, usually as an act of charity as the proceeds go to support the local YMCA/YWCA. The couple was on the way back to Kamloops on Thursday to see the home for the first time.

They have the ability to sell the home — tax-

free as long as it doesn’t sell for more than its estimated value, Herman said.

“It really sounds as though she’s pretty excited about the opportunity of hanging on to the home, though,” Herman said.

The call following a Y Dream Home lottery is different every year, Herman told KTW after his 22nd draw.

“Some people are in shock and awe, some people go real quiet and they have to take a few minutes to digest and there’s other people that just go to excitement and jubilation immediately and that’s pretty cool,” he said.

The Dream Home is located on Beachmount Crescent in Westsyde and comes complete with smart home technology.

The two-storey home is valued at about $650,000.

The YMCA/YWCA also held a 50/50 draw, a

new fundraiser this year, which racked up more than $100,000 in ticket sales.

Carolyn Pineo of Kamloops was the lucky winner, claiming more than $53,000.

She also expressed jubilation over the phone with Herman.

“That’s pretty awesome,” she said. “If it’s not the house, that’s the next best thing.”

Pineo was expecting a call from her cable provider when she got the call that she had won the 50/50 draw.

“When the phone rang, I thought ‘Oh, good, it’s Shaw calling me back,” Pineo told KTW. When she heard Herman on the line, she initially thought it was a telemarketer and was going to hang up until she learned she had won $53,000.

Pineo, who owns a lamp shop in Kamloops, is splitting the money with friends from

Kelowna, but she will be taking her share — $26,000 — and putting it to good use.

“We will probably go out for a nice sushi dinner with the kids and then we’ll probably have a nice weekend away with our friends that we’re splitting the winnings with,” Pineo said.

“And then we’ll probably do something very practical with it.”

The 50/50 draw brought in about $50,000 on top of Dream Home ticket revenue and Herman said it will definitely be back next year.

Tickets were $10 apiece, giving people a cheaper alternative to the $100 Dream Home ticket.

The final amount isn’t in yet, but Herman estimates this year’s contests have raised about $250,000 for the YMCA/YWCA — the highest amount ever.

Tickets for the Y Dream Home sold out in a record 13 days earlier this year.

As always, the funds raised go to support projects and programs for the YMCA/YWCA. “It makes a huge difference,” Herman said.

“It also helped build the second floor on the [downtown] Y, it put in sprinkler and safety systems that were very much needed.”

Looking ahead, Herman said there are opportunities for capital projects on the lots next to the downtown YMCA/YWCA. “That’ll be the next venture,” he said.

Last year’s draw brought in about $225,000.

There were 504 prizes drawn on Wednesday at the Y Dream Home.

The full list of winners can be viewed online at ydreamhome.org.

GREAT INSIGHT IN SD73 PARTNERSHIP

T

he story on page A6 of today’s newspaper is not controversial. It is not sensational, nor shocking.

But the story is important because it details a partnership between the Kamloops-Thompson school district and Insight Support Services that will likely dramatically improve the educational futures of many kids.

Insight is on the North Shore, at 624 Tranquille Rd. (in the same building that houses the office of Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Peter Milobar). Among its many endeavours, Insight has a school that teaches students with neurological, cognitive and developmental disabilities, kids who have a tough time in traditional classrooms.

Many of the students are on the autism spectrum, which Insight director Julie Chambers noted can result in behaviour problems not accompanied with traditional signs of the disorder.

So, the kids are kicked out of classrooms.

Their parents are asked to pick them up. Their education suffers.

This is why Insight exists, to take those students who need that extra attention.

Insight now has 55 students, 49 more than when it opened. This past school year, seven students graduated. The program’s success is evident in its wait list, with almost 100 kids wishing to enrol.

This September, the Kamloops-Thompson school district will send three teachers to Insight to help the existing staff, which includes speech and language experts and behavioural counsellors.

By linking with the school district and its vast array of resources, Insight will be able to expand and spend more time working with students, some of whom will improve enough to transfer back to the public school system.

The partnership is a sterling example of two groups identifying a crucial need in the education system and developing a way to fill that need.

The benefits could very well be felt for generations to come.

Unqualified disaster

T

here are group homes in Kamloops and throughout B.C. in which fragile teens live under the supervision of adults with little to no special qualifications that should be required by law.

Last month, a third group home for teenagers in care of the province was closed due to jaw-dropping reasons.

Last month, Bernard Richard, the province’s representative for children, released a letter he sent to Minister of Children and Family Development Katrine Conroy.

He wrote of his shock to learn 18 children and youth had to be relocated recently from a Lower Mainland group home because a youth claimed a staff member was gang-affiliated, took youth on drug drops, smoked marijuana with them and offered them cocaine.

Richard noted an investigation by the ministry found only 10 of 33 staff and caregivers at the agency were cleared as riskfree by criminal record checks and other security screening.

He said nine of those workers have since been barred from similar jobs for life, while 13 others are undergoing more screening due to “concerning information.”

This is not an NDP versus Liberal argument.

Tragic stories of youth falling through the cracks — and, literally, to their deaths — litter the political landscape, whether the New Democrats, Liberals

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom

MUSINGS or Socreds are in power.

There are many problems inherent in caring for youth whose family life, for whatever reasons, cannot offer the care they need.

When the problem becomes so acute that teens need to be removed from their families and placed in group homes, one would think supervisors would have requisite education and skills to monitor the youth.

One would think the youth would be part of a structured environment, one offering intensive counselling, academic aid, recreational outlets and constant affirmation and care.

Sadly, these broken kids are handed little more than housesitters who, through no fault of their own, are not qualified for the job and should not be placed in such a crucial role.

In an interview with Canadian Press, Richard said more than 70 kids have been forced to move out of group homes in the past three years.

“The group homes are the placement of last resort and

they require caregivers who can actually support very vulnerable children and not the kind of behaviour that we’ve seen again and again,” he said.

There is an old argument that says spending a lot of money on a problem now will save us from spending much more in the future.

That argument applies in this case.

Sure, it will cost real money to staff these group homes with qualified staff, but these homes are already racking up staggering bills — with the youth in those homes either being ignored or exposed to lifestyles from which they were removed in the first place.

Conroy has said her NDP government will act.

She said the situation is unacceptable. She said anybody working with youth must have the proper credentials and the proper checks in place.

Maybe the situation will change. Maybe these youth in group homes (some very near your home) will begin receiving the proper care from proper staff that will not only save their lives, but spare society future costs that are guaranteed under the current shattered system.

Maybe things will get better.

But British Columbians have heard various ministers in Conroy’s office utter similar words in years past — yet here we are. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

PLENTY OF GOODWILL FOLLOWED THE FIRE

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online

Editor: I read the letters to the editor in KTW regularly. I think it’s time for some good news.

In May, a fire damaged my house. There’s an obvious downside, but there are plenty of ups, too: 1) I normally mow the narrow strip between my driveway and my neighbour’s property. After the fire and without being asked or paid by anyone, Tony’s Lawn Service has mowed it weekly to this day. Thanks, Tony.

2) A friend arranged for his church group to supply a num-

RE: STORY: NOT IMPARK’S FINEST HOUR IN KAMLOOPS:

ber of freezer-ready meals and some muffins, all much appreciated. Thanks, Barry and group.

3) Two weeks after the fire, my burned-out raised garden bed showed life when the raspberries and a peony sprouted. Two weeks later, we transplanted two hostas that were beside and just below the source of the fire, yet they still sprouted and are going strong. Thanks, Sandi.

4) I have my new bike, bike helmet, shorts, etc. Thanks for the great service, Spoke staff.

5) My chainsaw burned. The manufacturer heard through a

friend and has sent a 15 per cent coupon toward a replacement.

Thanks, Stihl and B&L. 6) My half-scorched peach tree has continued to grow the peaches that were on it. Some of the burned branches have sprouted new growth; same for my mountain ash. Thanks, Mother Nature.

7) BCAA has been excellent.

I was in the office on a different matter and, separately, the manager and assistant manager came over to ask how I was, gave me their cards and said to call directly if there were any prob-

lems of any kind. Their adjuster has been very helpful and supportive. Thanks, all of you.

8) My house was full of family and sentimental items, so there is obvious pain. The Thompson Valley Restoration staff was patient, sensitive and understanding as we dealt with removing my contents. Thanks to too many to mention.

My list is actually much longer, but you get the idea.

I hope you all find your glasses to be half-full, as well.

Tom Rankin Kamloops

POLICE BLACKLISTS ARE TOOLS OF AUTHORITARIAN STATES Editor: The RCMP’s support for blacklisting citizens from local restaurants based on nothing more than the suspicions of a police officer, or a previous criminal record, is deeply troubling (‘Kamloops RCMP, businesses discuss program that would ban gang members from premises,’ June 19).

Cpl. Darren Angman states the

blacklist would apply to “anybody involved in organized crime and gang members. Anyone associated to organized crime or gang members. Anyone involved in the drug trade. Anyone that’s got a history of serious and/or violent criminal activity and anyone with a history of firearms offences.”

Who makes these determinations?

What does it mean to be “associated to” organized crime?

What counts as a “history of serious and/or violent criminal activity?”

How do the police know who is “involved in the drug trade?”

In constitutional democracies, these matters are decided by courts, which may not restrict a citizen’s rights without first grant-

ing him or her due process of law.

Police blacklists based on vague terms and subject to little oversight are the tool of authoritarian states.

Members of the RCMP are paid to uphold the law, not to be a law unto themselves.

Joe Killoran Kamloops

COLOUR ME STUPEFIED BY THIS RECKLESS IDEA Editor: I was so happy to hear Kamloops council is thinking about passing out coloured syringes to drug users (‘Kamloops council wants syringes to be brightly coloured

for safety reasons,’ June 20).

Adults will see and avoid them, of course, but who gives a crap about our kids and grandchildren, who will be even more attracted to the

syringes and needles?

Good work. I am proud to be a taxpayer.

“So I mailed Impark the ticket and my stub, proving I had a valid parking pass. Just recently I got a letter from them demanding $57 for my ‘outstanding ticket.’ I sent it back saying I already sent proof I had a valid parking pass. We’ll see what happens next.”

STOP IDLING AND GET ON WITH BUSINESS Editor: I was disappointed to learn of the new anti-idling bylaw established by city council.

It is pretty much an unenforceable bylaw. Most bylaws are complaint-driven, which means that if it is to work, we will all have to become snoops using dash cams and cellphones to report offenders to the anti-idling snitch line, whereupon the enforcement folks will have to race out and find the offender.

Don’t our bylaw enforcers already have too much to do with the bylaws already on the books that are problematic to enforce?

This is the city trying to legislate something not in its jurisdiction. Isn’t the

operation of motor vehicles regulated by some outfit called the Department of Motor Vehicles, under the mandate of the provincial government?

Kamloops already has a significant idling problem on several of its major roads, which have been created by recent “improvements” to these roads.

I have to wonder if anyone on council has tried driving west on Columbia Street or along Lansdowne between Sixth and First avenues when those stretches are gridlocked and become a parking lot.

What is the point of trying to reduce idling when public works council has approved has result in more vehicles idling?

This is simply another way for the folks at city hall — who reckon they know

how to live better than the rest of us — to “educate” us into accepting a particular lifestyle choice. Oh, and they get to use our own money (taxes) to do it.

As a member of the silent majority, I’ve had enough of this and would rather see tax decreases and fewer educational schemes.

Council should cancel the whole thing and get on with spending valuable time and staff resources in making some real improvements on serious matters, such as the poor traffic flow on major roads or the level of frustration felt by those dealing with the city’s planning and building departments.

Greg Reid Kamloops

PARKING AN ISSUE WITH SECONDARY SUITES Editor: Re: (‘Councillor calls for legal suites in all single-family homes,’ July 4): One of the problems I foresee with legal suites is parking.

I believe legal suites should require off-street parking.

The people of Kamloops are already upset with snow removal. Street parking will inhibit snow removal and this is already evident in many areas of the city. The streets get narrower with each snowfall because they can’t be

plowed properly.

Then, in the spring, the gravel doesn’t get cleaned up for the same reason.

That’s a problem that needs to be addressed.

Diane Milne Kamloops

Editor: I agree with Coun. Kathy Sinclair’s proposal to allow secondary suites in all singlefamily homes.

Larry Peeters Kamloops

MORE TAX TIME REMINDERS FROM CITY, PLEASE Editor: In case you missed it, there was a small advertisement on the City of Kamloops page in the June 29 edition of KTW, reminding taxpayers property taxes were due on July 3.

Also in the ad, in tiny print, was a notice that a 10 per cent penalty will be applied on July 4 for late payments.

If you look on the B.C. government website, it states there is a five per cent penalty on July 4, with a further five per cent penalty on Nov. 1.

We get hit a little harder in Kamloops.

The least the city could do is perform a better job in getting the information out to homeowners.

There should have been full-page ads in the two previous Friday papers. This would actually serve as a reminder and allow homeowners to make arrangements as needed.

There are people new to owning a home every year and it would be better if they could get started on successful footing.

If you have arranged for a tax-instal-

ment plan, you still have to apply for the homeowner grant every year. Otherwise, your payments will increase and you will not find out until you notice the hike.

There is only a limited time that you can retroactively apply for the homeowner grant. Sometimes people are working so hard to pay their mortgages and taxes that details can slip by.

It’s unfair that the result may be paying more taxes than required.

Savanna gets set for her big Toys “R” Us shopping spree JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Savanna Morris will be able to live out every kid’s dream — three minutes to grab as many toys as she can at Toys “R” Us. “I was kind of speechless,” Savanna told KTW of the moment when she learned she had been selected for the once-in-a-lifetime shopping spree.

On July 9, the nine-year-old Penticton girl will travel to Kamloops for the opportunity before the Sahali store opens to the public.

Savanna was among 10 kids to be selected for the Three Minute Dash, a shopping spree courtesy of the toy company and the Starlight Children’s Foundation, which grants wishes to sick children.

Savanna has cerebral palsy and autism. The chatty nine-year-old loves to sing and play the ukulele. For that reason, she has her eyes on a brand new karaoke machine so she can belt out Malibu by Miley Cyrus.

“Anything except country music and old music,” she said when asked to

explain her musical tastes.

The Morris family will arrive the day before the shopping spree. Starlight is taking Savanna for supper at her favourite restaurant the night before — White Spot — and it will also give them the opportunity to visit Toys “R” Us in advance to map out locations to find the best toys.

“Me and my brothers are all going to

split up,” Savanna said.

Siblings Ryder, Austin and Kaylee have been on their best behaviour lately — with an opportunity to receive one or two toys, as well.

Mom Nicole said the shopping spree is meaningful for Savanna and the family.

“They’re [Savanna and twin sister Kaylee] past the age where competition matters,” Nicole said. “She can’t stay in dance because they’re competing. Same with sports. So she likes more toys to keep her entertained.”

Nicole recalled taking her kids to Toys “R” Us in the Okanagan for the first time after moving from the Lower Mainland.

They spent four hours in the toy store that day.

“It was floor-to-ceiling toys,” Nicole said. “They were flabbergasted.”

There are some limitations to the shopping spree (a $4,000 playground set, for example, is excluded, as are duplicate items), but Savanna has her eyes on a tablet and a drone.

KTW will attend the shopping spree.

Amid strike, questions about offers MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Some customers of Cascades Casino in Kamloops say they are upset with the company’s latest promotion, calling it a tactic to get people to cross the picket line set up outside the property last week by striking employees.

From July 1 to July 8, Encore Rewards members are being offered $25 a day free slot play in addition to a free buffet voucher for each day at the local casino.

Gateway Casinos, parent company of Cascades, said the promotion is not out of the norm, but two Kamloops residents say it’s more than they’ve been offered before.

“We usually get basic ones like twofor-one at the buffet or 1,000 points, which works out to like $5 free play, but this was definitely above and beyond,” Kerri Schill said, noting she found the offer to be tacky and a clear negotiation tactic.

“We didn’t feel like it was a loyalty thing,” she said, adding she felt Cascades was trying to entice its encore members to cross the picket line.

Jim Dupuis, an Encore member who has been a lifelong supporter of unions, said he’s never seen an offer of a free buffet ticket and described the $25 per day free slot pay offer as being enticing for big gamblers.

“I don’t think that’s right,” Dupuis said of the offer, noting he understands, however, the company can offer whatever it wants to customers.

“That’s their prerogative and it’s up to the person whether they want to go or not. I certainly won’t be going,” he said.

Schill said she would have preferred the offer when there is not a labour dispute.

“It puts the [Encore Rewards] member in a bad position because we don’t want to cross the picket line,” she said.

Gateway Casinos spokeswoman Tanya Gabara said the promotion — which was included with an advisory that the casino in Kamloops will remain open under adjusted hours during the labour dispute — is part of the company’s regular communication and offers to their Encore customers.

“This is not out of the norm for our business,” Gabara said.

She described the promotion as one of many similar ones Encore members receive, but was unaware of the last time this particular offer was made.

“There is a picket line, but they have the right to come and visit us, so if they choose to come and visit us, here’s an offer for when you get there. If you don’t, it’s up to them,” Gabara said.

She said she didn’t see why Cascades Casino would receive backlash from the offer.

BC Government Employees’ Union president Stephanie Smith said the company and the union will be back at the bargaining table next week, with negotiation dates set for Monday through Wednesday.

While Smith said she is not surprised by the company’s tactic, she said it won’t weigh on upcoming talks.

“Our job and our goal is to get a good collective agreement for our members and tactics used by the employer don’t play in to that,” Smith said.

While the two sides will rekindle talks, there is no end in sight for the strike.

“We will keep those picket lines up until such time as our members have the ability to vote on a tentative agreement,” Smith said.

Gateway employees have been without a new contract since last September and hit the picket lines last Friday outside facilities in Kamloops, Kelowna, Vernon and Penticton.

The strike involves more than 675 BCGEU workers from casinos in those four cities. Workers at Match Eatery and Atlas Steak + Fish in Cascades Casino are also on strike.

Wages are at the centre of the issue for the union, which said the majority of employees are making minimum wage and should be earning more to keep up with industry standards.

Two men have been found guilty of drug charges connected to what the RCMP has called the largest-ever meth lab bust in Kamloops.

Joel Garrett was found guilty of production of a controlled substance for allowing a meth lab to operate on his property on Pratt Road in Barnhartvale.

Ikbal Shah was found guilty of possessing fentanyl, methamphetamine, heroin and cocaine for the purposes of trafficking.

Garrett was acquitted of two other charges of possessing firearms without a licence.

The charges against the two men stemmed from an RCMP investigation in the spring of 2015 that involved police surveilling the pair, along with Derek Sadden, who was the cook at the helm of the meth lab.

He pleaded guilty last month and was sentenced to three years in a federal penitentiary for one count each of production of methamphetamine and possession of methamphetamine for the purpose of trafficking.

In handing down her verdict in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops on Tuesday, Justice Lisa Warren said she wasn’t convinced the two men had no idea of the illegal activity going on in their homes.

Warren determined it wasn’t possible Garrett was unaware of the meth lab as Sadden seemed unconcerned with being caught

by Garrett, who lived on the property and maintained access to the garage, which housed the lab.

Sadden had access to multiple areas of the property, including two rooms used for extraction and production of meth.

He also left the lab unattended at times and many supplies were also sitting in plain view, Warren noted.

“It defies logic to think Mr. Sadden would take the risk of being discovered by Mr. Garrett,” Warren said.

She said officers who raided

the property in June of 2015 noted the strong smell of fertilizer and acetone, as well as bubbling and humming noises coming from the garage.

Warren ruled that Sadden had no concern the meth lab would be discovered by Garrett because Garrett knew what he was doing in the building.

She also concluded that if Garrett knew from the outset what Sadden intended to do in his garage, or if he found out afterwards and still didn’t put an end to it, then his intention was to assist him in that production.

“Mr. Garrett could have put an end to it by terminating Mr. Sadden’s access to the garage either by rescinding his permission or, if that didn’t work, then by changing the locks,” Warren said.

The RCMP’s investigation initially involved Sadden and another man who is not facing charges. It expanded to include Garrett and Shah.

Police spotted both Sadden and the other man visiting Garrett and Shah multiple times during their investigation.

In June of 2015, police also raided Shah’s home, where they discovered drugs inside a safe located in a kitchen cupboard.

There were 762 fentanyl pills, 276.4 grams of meth, 560.2 grams of cocaine and 42.2 grams of heroin found in the safe, worth a total of about $48,000, Warren said.

Also in that cupboard were two metal cookie tins containing several-hundred clean plastic bags, two metal weights with a 200-gram stamp, a measuring cup and a razor blade.

Police also found two weigh scales, large plastic bags and two daytimers in the kitchen that contained drug scoresheets.

Shah testified that the other man — described as an unruly houseguest of his — used his safe to store drugs, but claimed he was unaware of it.

Shah said the houseguest came over often, sometimes staying overnight and inviting friends over to the house without per-

mission. Shah also admitted to driving the man to Langley for a quick stop in a parking lot before driving back to Kamloops.

Shah said the safe was not secure because the landlord possessed one of two keys, so he didn’t use it. The other key was left inserted in the lock.

The daytimers belonged to him, he said, claiming they were left out in the months prior to his arrest and could have been used as scrap paper by anyone.

Warren, however, determined some of the drug jargon in the daytimers was in Shah’s handwriting.

She also found his testimony was inconsistent with normal behaviour, noting it was unlikely he would drive all the way to Langley without inquiring as to the nature of the trip, and that it was unlikely the landlord would install a safe and leave a key for the resident to use.

Shah’s failure to stop the man from using his home is “inexplicable,” Warren said, adding that either the houseguest didn’t actually behave in the way reported or Shah was receiving something that made putting up with the houseguest’s actions worthwhile.

In making her ruling that Shah possessed the drugs, Warren said she relied on the fact the drugs were stored in Shah’s kitchen, together with scales and in close proximity to plastic baggies in the cookie tins.

“All of which suggests the drugs were not just stored in Mr. Shah’s house, but rather they were also divided up, weighed and measured there,” Warren said, noting Shah worked from home and would have a good opportunity to observe what was happening.

As Shah’s mother and exgirlfriend often visited the home, it was unlikely someone would attempt to covertly measure and store drugs as the risk of being caught would be great, Warren said.

Shah and Garrett will return to court on July 16 to set a sentencing-hearing date.

CAP Team busy The city’s new Customer Care and Patrol Team members have been busy in their first month patrolling North Kamloops.

The North Shore Business Improvement Association is reporting numbers after the ambassador program was expanded to six members from four this past spring.

Members rotate through downtown and North Kamloops to provide eyes and ears for the areas. In covering about 675 kilometres on foot and bike in the North Kamloops area, CAP members have thus far: • recovered nearly 275 needles, most of which were used; • recovered more than 100 cooking spoons and nearly 240 cooking tin foils; • recovered 14 used condoms; • handled about 60 tourism-related inquiries.

The City of Kamloops contributed $30,000 and the NSBIA chipped in $10,000 to fund the additional personnel.

Acquitted in shootings, guilty of possession MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Two men have been acquitted of firing multiple gunshots at a group of men intent on fighting them on a residential street in Merritt last year — but they were found guilty of possessing weapons.

Michael Drynock and Kleon Pop faced multiple charges in connection with the April 22, 2017, incident, which took place in the

2500-block of Coldwater Avenue.

But they were found not guilty of both reckless and intentional discharging of a firearm.

In rendering the verdict in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops on Wednesday, Justice Dev Dley found that one of the two men fired the gun, but couldn’t determine beyond a reasonable doubt which one of them pulled the trigger.

Drynock was convicted of assault, possessing a firearm contrary to an order and carrying a concealed weapon —

a knife with brass knuckles.

Pop was convicted of uttering threats, using a firearm while uttering threats, possessing a firearm contrary to an order and possessing a concealed weapon, which was an extendable baton.

Drynock was found guilty of assaulting Alex Colins at a house party on the day in question. Pop then brandished a gun at Collins, who left the home and returned with a group of four friends who intended to fight the two men.

In court, Collins testified that

while calling out the two on the street, gunshots rang out from the house. The five men retreated, but were said to have been followed

by Pop and Drynock to a field at Diamond Vale School, where the accused were eventually arrested by police.

The trial spanned two weeks between the end of May and early June, with prosecutors calling 28 witnesses to the stand.

The Crown called to the stand the five complainants, police officers who attended the scene and

multiple residents.

Prosecutor Laura Drake submitted that the Crown had provided “an unbroken string of eyewitness evidence that Mr. Drynock and Mr. Pop possessed the guns found near them on arrest from the time they exited the alley behind Coldwatwer Avenue.”

The defence’s case focused on casting doubt on the identity of the shooters at the house.

A date to determine sentencing for Pop and Drynock will be scheduled this Monday.

Aboriginal students making graduation gains DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

When an Aboriginal student makes it to Grade 12 in the Kamloops-Thompson school district, they have a higher percentage of finishing that final year than do non-Aboriginal students.

Mike Bowden, district principal for aboriginal education, said it’s another indicator of the success School District 73 is experiencing in its focus on ensuring more Aboriginal students are successful.

In a comprehensive study on success

rates of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal students, Bowden found 97 per cent of Aboriginal students in Grade 12 will graduate with a Dogwood certificate, compared to 95 per cent for non-Aboriginals.

The actual numbers remain far apart; there were 996 non-Aboriginal and 170 Aboriginal graduates this year.

Bowden also looked at the statistic the provincial government considers when looking at graduation, studying a six-year success rate for students who enter Grade 8 and graduate within that time period.

This year, that rate continued the increase that has been seen in the past five years. In 2007, for example, 67 per cent of Aboriginal Grade 8 students graduated by 2013.

For those who entered Grade 8 in 2011, 79 per cent graduated this year.

Bowden said it’s another indicator the district is closing in on parity between the two cohorts.

Comparable numbers for nonAboriginal showed 81 per cent graduated by 2013 and 87 per cent graduated by 2017 over the applicable six-year periods.

LOCAL NEWS ELECTRICAL ISSUES SPARKED FIRE IN CHERRY CREEK STORE

A fire that gutted a gas station in Cherry Creek last month was caused by electrical issues and is not considered suspicious, according to the Kamloops Rural RCMP. “Our investigation has concluded,” Staff Sgt. Bob Fogarty told KTW. The Cherry Creek gas station and store was destroyed by fire at about 12:30 a.m. on June 22. When Mounties arrived on scene ,the structure, located about 10 minutes west of Kamloops on Highway 1, was fully engulfed in flames. The fire was fought by members of the New Afton Mine Fire Department. Due to the blaze’s close proximity to a neighbouring mobile home park, police evacuated several residents. No injuries were reported in the fire.

Support for Scheffel grows on website DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Hundreds of people from around the world have signed their names in support of Thompson Rivers University professor David Scheffel, who remains in jail in Slovakia.

An online website — justicefordavidscheffel.com — contains the link for people to add their names to an open letter that states the undersigned believe Scheffel, an anthropologist, is being punished “for conducting ethical, unique research into challenging social issues.”

Scheffel was arrested last November after flying to Slovakia, where for years he has conducted research into the Roma community.

He travelled to the Eastern European country to speak with officials about what he had been told was a meeting with police officials in Presov, a city in the northeast part of Slovakia.

Within hours, Scheffel was arrested and charged with arms trafficking, child pornography and sexual violence.

He has been in jail since.

The website contains a lengthy statement by Scheffel on his arrest, which he wrote in May. In it, he explains the nature of his research into social issues within the Roma population which, according to the European Roma Rights Centre, includes systemic racism against them to keep the Roma — also called gypsies — marginalized.

The centre is an organization dedicated to fighting for equal rights for the Roma in Slovakia.

Scheffel’s research during the past 16 years has led to research papers, a book and a documen-

“It’s amazing to see

the next generation starting to give back.”

A 2016 paper, Belonging and Domesticated Ethnicity in Velky Saris, Slovakia, published in Romani Studies, won a prize for best article at the Czechoslovak Studies Association’s annual meeting in Washington, D.C.

Alex grew up in a lower-income neighbourhood of Calgary and attributes much of his success to the role models in his community.

Now Alex is a role model himself, and with the strong relationship he’s built with his local Tim Hortons, he’s been able to give back in amazing ways, like organizing the world’s longest hockey game, which raised over four million dollars for Alberta Children’s Hospital. But no matter how much money he raises, the thing he’s most proud of is that he inspires the youth in his community to want to give back, too.

Thank you, Alex. And thanks to all those who make our community stronger.

Kamloops city councillors apparently don’t mind changing their clocks twice a year.

Council has denied a request

by Kamloops duo Tara Holmes and Bob Dieno, who asked the politicians to put forward a resolution at this fall’s Union of BC Municipalities Convention to stop the time change in B.C. For three years, the pair has been advocating to stop the time adjustment, with a preference of staying on daylight saving time, citing medical and psychological impacts.

Daylight saving time runs from March to November. A resolution by council needed to be submitted by the end of last week in order to be submitted in time for the annual convention.

“I would have some difficulty jumping onto this wagon for the simple reason that, if this is supported by Kamloops city council, then I would be expected to support that at the convention,” Mayor Ken Christian said.

“And I’m just not fully aware of what the ramifications are, particularly to the British Columbia economy, of us getting out of step.

Those are the reasons I would not support it.”

Coun. Tina Lange noted

research shows it takes about a week for circadian rhythms — essentially humans’ biological clocks — to get back in sync after a time change.

“Just a late night out does that to me and, certainly, people on shift work have to deal with that all the time, so I don’t see what the big deal is,” Lange said. “I like it when the light works in my favour.”

Councillors Donovan Cavers, Arjun Singh and Kathy Sinclair voted to support the request, while Christian and councillors Ray Dhaliwal, Lange, Dieter Dudy, Denis Walsh and Pat Wallace were opposed and defeated the motion.

tion values at $118 million, compared to $66.8 million last year.

“We knew this year there were so many large projects, especially in the multi-family,” City of Kamloops development director Marvin Kwiatkowski said.

Multi-family permits issued this year to date are 279, compared to 28 the same time last year.

In June, residential permits were valued at $21.5 million, compared to $7.7 million during the same month last year, with two projects in particular driving up that number.

Last month, permits were issued for the $10-million, 60-unit multi-family Creston House at The Reach univer-

sity village and an $8-million, 40-unit multi-family project on Oriole Road.

Overall, residential permits are worth much more this year than last year — $72.8 million compared to $51.3 million.

Meanwhile, commercial permits in June were slightly down in value, at $1.2 million compared to $5.3 million in 2017.

Last year was a recordsetting year for Kamloops’ building-permit values, with $224 million in permits issued.

Kwiatkowski said the city is “definitely” on pace to break that record.

Another large project, the nursing building at Thompson Rivers University, is expected to hit the books later this month.

Portables likely the norm as enrolment keeps rising DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

When the KamloopsThompson school district looks at enrolment in the future, there is one certainty: if there is no capital funding from the province to create more space, the district will need another 31 portables.

Secretary-treasurer

Kelvin Stretch said the projection he looked at came after trustees asked what it would cost “to provide some muchneeded space to our schools” that resulted from the Supreme Court of Canada ruling that returned class size and composition to the way it was in 2002.

“Returning our schools to 2002-2003 collective agreement

language has effectively eliminated most of our discretionary space in our schools,” Stretch said.

He noted the 31 portables cited in a report to the board would return to schools much-needed multi-purpose room and dedicated learning assistant resource teaching space.

In addition, Stretch said, if the district was

to replace discretionary space in its schools, it would need another 31 portables.

Stretch said the district doesn’t have the money to add discretionary space “above and beyond our enrolment growth needs,” but noted the 31 portables are still going to be required if enrolment continues on its upward trend.

For the upcoming

school year, the district has bought four portables at a cost of $132,250 each.

That amount does not include site-preparation costs.

Last year, the district added eight portables, work that director of facilities and transportation Art McDonald said was significant and stretched crews “too far.”

Drug smuggler gets seven years in U.S. prison Colin Martin at the Kamloops Law Courts during a 2014 hearing.

KTW FILE PHOTO

ASSOCIATED PRESS

A Shuswap man who leased helicopters and used them to run a cross-border drug-shipping empire, helping meet the American West’s appetite for high-grade marijuana before states began legalizing the drug, has been sentenced to seven years in prison.

Colin Martin, 46, was responsible for delivering thousands of pounds of “B.C. Bud” from British Columbia to remote forest clearings in Washington state and Idaho, where his pilots would drop off their cargo and pick up cocaine driven up from Southern California.

Martin spent much of the past decade fighting extradition to the United States before being transferred to Seattle earlier this year to face his 2009 indictment.

“It’s been a long road,” Martin tearfully told U.S District Judge Robert Lasnik last week.

“I’d just like to apologize to the American people.”

Martin left school in eighth grade to work as a logger. In a 2009 interview at a restaurant his

mother ran in Malakwa, about two hours east of Kamloops, just past Sicamous, he told the Associated Press he became involved in the drug trade after he saw his best friend killed in a logging accident.

Martin first came to the attention of American authorities in the late 1990s, when he was indicted in Spokane for a drug-smuggling operation that relied on small airplanes. He was never extradited in that case, but was convicted in

Canada for the same conduct and sentenced in 2007 to 2.5 years in jail.

While Martin appealed, he continued smuggling by leasing helicopters through Gorge Timber, a company registered in his wife’s name. Investigators ultimately arrested some of the ring’s couriers and used them to build a case against Martin.

One of his pilots, Sam LindsayBrown, hanged himself in the Spokane County Jail after flying into a law-enforcement trap in 2009, when federal agents met him as he landed in northeastern Washington state.

Another pilot, Jeremy Snow, was killed in Kelowna, along with his girlfriend, after being released from a four-year sentence in 2013.

Authorities never determined how long Martin had been running the helicopter-based business or the amount of drugs he was responsible for shipping.

None of the money was seized, but several-hundred pounds of marijuana and cocaine were.

One co-conspirator told investigators the group made about six smuggling flights a month with one of the leased helicopters, with each flight hauling up to 272 kilograms (600 pounds) of marijuana.

Martin would hire pilots to make the runs, typically paying them about $50,000 per round trip, as well as other workers who would help load and unload the helicopters.

“This defendant, Colin Martin, built his own drug-transportation empire,” assistant U.S. Attorney Sarah Vogel told the court.

While others handled the drugs, sometimes waiting in remote, snowy clearings for helicopters to land, she added, “He stayed safe at home in rural British Columbia, where he knew it would be almost impossible for law enforcement to find him.”

Vogel requested an eight-year sentence, which was two years less than prosecutors could have sought under Martin’s plea deal involving

a drug-conspiracy charge. Martin’s attorney, Peter Camiel, requested the minimum — five years.

Martin’s wife, Jennifer Martin, said in a phone interview that she had hoped to attend the hearing with their six children, ages 5 to 17, and Martin’s mother, but U.S. border authorities denied them entry.

She said her husband had bonded with the kids, worked for a road-maintenance company and volunteered, including by painting a church, while out of custody from late 2014 to late 2017. She said it was a relief the sentencing was over and that his prison term wasn’t longer.

“You want to exercise your right to fight extradition and you think that if you stall ,maybe something will change,” she said. “But in hindsight, if he’d gone down licketysplit, he’d be home now.”

Washington state legalized marijuana for recreational use in 2012.

Sales at state-licensed stores began in 2014 and now top $500 million a year.

Canada will legalize marijuana nationwide in October.

McArthur, 66, has been charged with firstdegree murder in connection with the deaths of eight men with ties to Toronto’s gay village.

Only one man’s remains have not been found.

“We haven’t identified what the remains are or who they belonged to,’’ Idsinga said, adding the remains could be from those already recovered.

Idsinga said they have searched about 100 properties with links to McArthur’s landscaping business and cadaver dogs found few spots of interest.

But, he said, after some “minor excavations,’’ nothing was found.

Several weeks ago, the dogs searched the ravine and found “multiple spots’’ of interest, he said.

It took weeks to co-ordinate with the City of Toronto, which is responsible for the ravine, to “take environmental issues into consideration,”

Idsinga said.

“Some trees were cleared to allow access for equipment,’’he said.

“We found the remains there very ... it was a bit of a surprise,’’ Idsinga said.

The remains have been sent to the Ontario Forensic Pathology Service for further examination.

The identification process could involve fingerprints, dental records or DNA analysis, he said, which would take “days, weeks or months.’’

Idsinga anticipates the excavation will continue for another week.

McArthur’s case is scheduled to return to court on July 23.

Analyzing America’s coming trade war with China

T

he United States could probably extract major concessions from China in a carefully managed confrontation on trade issues because the Chinese don’t want a trade war with their best export customer.

But the U.S. can’t win the trade war that President Donald Trump is planning to wage — and it begins on Friday.

That’s when the first chunk of Trump’s new tariffs on Chinese exports to the United States — a 25 per cent import tax on $50 billion of Chinese goods — actually goes into effect.

Beijing will retaliate with similar tariffs on $50 billion of American exports to China. That’s just a drop in the bucket

GWYNNE DYER World

WATCH in terms of the size of either economy, but it’s also just the opening salvo in the war.

Trump has already said that Chinese retaliation would be “unfair” and that if China proceeds, he will slap a 10 per cent levy on an additional $200-billion worth of Chinese goods.

(He subsequently

reduced that amount to $100 billion, but who knows?)

And China has already said it would respond with measures of a “corresponding number and quality” if the U.S. goes ahead with its plans.

This is where the real tit-for-tat escalation starts and it’s hard to see how it can be stopped.

Trump is trapped by his own pugnacious rhetoric and Chinese President Xi Jinping is trapped in two ways.

One is that Trump has already imposed big new tariffs on exports to the United States by the European Union and by America’s closest neighbours, Canada and Mexico.

They have all responded by imposing similar tariffs on

American exports of equal value.

Xi can hardly do less, even if China’s real interests might be better served by not responding in kind to the new U.S. tariffs. He would not wish to be seen as weaker than Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

The other factor weighing on Xi’s decisions is that Beijing is starting to see American trade policy as part of a deliberate attempt to stop China’s emergence as a great industrial and technological power and a real peer rival to the United States. After all, there are undoubtedly people in Washington who would like to do exactly that.

Trump himself does not think in geo-strategic terms, but the Chinese

may well see his actions on trade as inspired by those who do. If they come to that conclusion, their willingness to go all the way in a trade war may be greater than the financial experts think it is.

China’s exports to the United States amount to about 40 per cent of its total exports, whereas only five per cent of U.S. exports go to China, so an all-out trade war between the two countries would obviously hurt China more.

Xi, however, is far more able to ignore the resultant job losses and higher prices than is Trump — especially because the Americans who are hurting worst would be his own political base.

Alternatively, China’s

heavily indebted economy may turn out to be even more fragile than it looks, in which case a trade war could drive the country into a deep recession (with unpredictable political consequences at home) and drag the whole world economy down with it.

That wouldn’t be much fun, either There’s a reason trade wars went out of fashion after the Second World War and it wasn’t just because international trade tends to enhance prosperity overall.

Back when trade wars were the normal way of doing business internationally, in the 16th to 19th centuries, European powers spent almost half their time at war.

The first great era of free trade, from 1870

to 1914, was also the Long Peace, when no European great power fought any other for almost a half-century.

That peace was destroyed by the First World War (so free trade does not prevent all wars), but the trade wars of the 1930s certainly deepened the Great Depression and facilitated the rise of fascism and the Second World War. Then came the Second Long Peace, from 1945 to the present.

I’m not saying Trump’s assault on free trade is going to lead us back down the path to greatpower war again.

Many other factors go into making such a catastrophe possible, but he may be putting one of the key factors back into place.

FAITH

Blessed are the peacemakers

I

came across an interesting statistic recently concerning Nobel Prize winners — 65 per cent of them publicly identified themselves as Christian.

For example, self-identified Christians make up 50 per cent of all the Literature laureates. But the statistic that really stands out is the Peace Prize, arguably the most important of all the Nobel accolades, which has been handed to Christians 78.3 per cent of the time.

It should not really be surprising that followers of the Prince of Peace would work unfailingly to secure peace in this strife-torn world.

In his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.” Psalm 34 advises, “Seek peace, and pursue it.”

St. Paul, in his letter to the Roman church, counselled, “… as far as it depends on you, be at peace with everyone.”

The theme of living in peace and harmony with others, and for promoting it on the larger stage, is a theme running throughout the Bible.

Since this is an overt expectation of all believers in Jesus Christ, many Christians in positions of political power have expended considerable effort to promote peace in their areas of influence.

President Teddy Roosevelt was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 1906 for his role in mediating an end to the RussoJapanese war. Roosevelt was a member of the Dutch Reformed Church, but often attended the Episcopalian Church (his wife’s affiliation) when he wasn’t able to find a Reformed Church.

He championed religious tolerance and chastised those who criticized Jews or Catholics.

Other American presidents were also Peace Prize recipients.

Jimmy Carter, who would sometimes teach Sunday school at the Baptist church in Plains, Ga., even after he was president, won the prize in 2002, in part for his successful brokering of the Camp David Accord between Egypt and Israel (which survives

to this day).

Barak Obama, winner of the 2009 prize, grew up in a nonreligious household and stated his father was a confirmed atheist.

It was only after working as a community organizer in concert with African-American church leaders that Obama become convinced of the “power of African-American religious tradition to spur social change.”

He joined the United Church of Christ in 1992.

Our own Lester B. Pearson, prime minister from 1963 to 1968, won the prize in 1957 for his role in resolving the Suez Canal dispute. He also managed to keep Canada out of the Vietnam War. Pearson was the son of a Methodist minister (later the United Church) and grew up in the manse of the denomination’s church in Aurora, Ont. The Pearson Peacekeeping Centre and the Pearson Medal of Peace are named in recognition of his substantial contributions to world peace.

The list is long, but two more merit mention due to their outstanding and selfless humanitarian works: Albert Schweitzer and Mother Teresa.

Schweitzer was the son of a Lutheran pastor in AlsaceLorraine and earned a theology degree from the University of Strasbourg.

He also completed a doctoral thesis at the Sorbonne in Paris on the religious philosophy of Immanuel Kant.

Schweitzer was a noted theologian, gaining fame for his ethical philosophy which he called

Reverence for Life. He decided to put that philosophy into practice.

After gaining a medical degree, he volunteered in 1913 as a medical missionary in a remote area of Gabon, Africa, and paid his own expenses to do so. He laboured there until the early 1950s. He was awarded the prize in 1952.

Mother Teresa had humble beginnings. She was an ethnic Albanian born in what is now Macedonia to Roman Catholic parents.

She felt called to religious life and became a novice nun at the age of 18 with the Sisters of Loreto. After training in Ireland, she was posted to Calcutta, where she worked as a teacher.

She was appalled by the poverty and suffering there and vowed to do something about it. In 1948, she founded the Missionaries of Charity and began offering free medical and hospice services to the poorest of the poor.

She arranged for a dignified death to those of all religious persuasions, with an initial staff of 13 fellow nuns.

Today, the Missionaries of Charity operate in 133 countries and have more than 4,500 sisters. They provide AIDS hospices, medical clinics, soup kitchens, leprosy and tuberculosis clinics, orphanages, and schools.

Mother Teresa was awarded the prize in 1979 and was canonized as a saint of the Catholic Church in 2016.

These amazing people chose to live out their faith with good works and selfless dedication to humanitarian causes.

They were champions of peace.

As Mother Teresa said, “Not all of us can do great things.

But we can do small things with great love.”

Paddling the Rideau in the fall is tough to beat.

Paddling on the Rideau offers feast of foliage JOHN GEARY

TRAVEL WRITERS’ TALES

W

e paddled off the main channel of the waterway, admiring nature’s paintbrush of autumn splendor, and then spotted it: a great blue heron standing on a tree sticking out into the Tay River as we paddled closer.

The bird groomed for a quite a long time before it finally decided we were too close, so it flapped its wings and lifted off into the bright blue afternoon sky.

It was turning out to be an amazing day for spotting birds while canoeing along the Rideau Waterway near Perth, Ont. Although we were only an hour’s drive from Canada’s capital city of Ottawa, we’d seen plenty of birds and wildlife in this not-sowild rural setting.

Built in the first half of the

19th century as a quick transportation route between Kingston and Ottawa, you can paddle the entire 202-kilometre-long Rideau — a series of small lakes joined by man-made canals — from start to finish, in anywhere from six to 10 days. The timing depending on how fast you paddle, and what you want to do in terms of sight-seeing and exploring off the water, along the way. Time limited us to day tripping along the Rideau, but we experienced the same beauty and natural wonders as that of a longer trip.

Our first put-in saw us paddle from the Narrows Lock through Big Rideau Lake northeast toward Murphy’s Point Provincial Park, a trip of about 10 kilometres. Paddling in mid-October may seem to be a bit late in the season, but the fall colours far make up for cooler temperatures.

And with the sun out — and no bugs — it’s arguably the best time of the year to paddle there.

That morning’s paddle treated

us to a close encounter with a young loon who seemed quite unconcerned as paddled towards it. It finally dove when we were almost close enough to reach out and touch it with our paddles.

Mind you, we were not trying to paddle towards it, it was just in a direct line between where we were and where we wanted to go.

Within a half-hour, we spotted several trumpeter swans which were not as patient as the loon. They quickly took off as we approached, soaring into the sky from the water past a line of trees in their full autumn colours.

Just before noon, we took out and drove to Beveridges Locks for a lunch break. While there, we had a chance to check out some Parks Canada oTENTiks. More than tents, but not quite glamping-style accommodations, these half-tent, half-cabin lodgings provide places to stay for paddlers and other boaters travelling the Rideau — and in many other areas of Canada that fall under

Parks Canada’s jurisdiction.

It was a little late in the season to stay in them, so I made a note to investigate a stay there on a future trip.

A quick but hearty repast and a short drive back to Rideau Ferry Conservation Area for our afternoon put-in and we were back in the water. We did a quick but interesting paddle around Hog Island, accompanied by a female common merganser diving and re-surfacing several times, no doubt looking for something to eat before she finally flew off.

We continued paddling northeast, hugging the shore of what was now Lower Rideau Lake, looking for birds and other wildlife. At one point, we did see some spotted turtles sunning themselves along the shore.

A pair of wood ducks swam by headed in the opposite direction to which we were paddling. As we entered the Tay Marsh at the mouth of the Tay River, a pair of buffleheads swam past. We tried

to get closer, but they took off from the water, heading southeast.

A few minutes past the aforementioned heron, the country’s national animal popped its head up not far from our canoe. A lone beaver swam past after checking us out while making a nearby cormorant a bit nervous.

I was still shaking my head a bit at how much wildlife we were seeing, an hour from Canada’s capital city.

This late in October the sun goes down earlier, so we could not stay out on the water too long. We pulled off the river along the shore close to the community of Port Elmsley, our day’s paddling done. We traded our canoe and waterway for a vehicle and roads, heading for supper and a good night’s sleep before heading out for more paddling adventures the next day.

RETURN OF THE STOMP

Ted Morton rides the Stomp trail at Stake Lake.

BJORN OSSENBRINK PHOTO

DEFUNCT STAKE LAKE CROSS-COUNTRY MOUNTAIN BIKING RACE RESURRECTED In 1986, the Stomp mountain biking trail opened at Stake Lake.

Siblings Paul and Carolyn Berry, owners of Spoke N’Motion, created a single-track beast that was well ahead of its time and founded a race that would eventually draw up to 400 riders, thrill seekers from across the province who were often shocked to find terrain thought reserved for the Whistler area.

Grippy rock-slab features were among unique features traversed on bikes now considered dinosaurs.

“We put some very technical terrain on it, even for today,” Paul said. “We didn’t have suspension. We had rim brakes. Just nothing like what we have now. Very narrow handle bars. We didn’t drop our seats at all.

“I can’t even imagine. It was like taking our lives into our hands.”

In 2001, after years of organizing had taken their toll, the Berrys were all Stomped out and the race ceased to exist.

The resurrection — the Stomp Classic Cross-Country Mountain Bike Marathon — will be held on Saturday and Sunday. The event will double as the fifth and final B.C. Premier XCM Marathon Series stop and will be a

provincial championship race.

Paul Berry and Bjoern Ossenbrink began working on restoring the track to its former glory about three years ago. The Kamloops Bike Riders Association is backing the event and will receive any proceeds, which will likely be funnelled into trail maintenance.

“People will be quite shocked,” Paul said. “Like, is this Kamloops? You don’t see this type of terrain unless you’re in Whistler or Squamish or Pemberton.

The main course, the 60-kilometre Stomp (actually closer to 55km), features two laps of about 30km, including about 15km of technical single track, 10km of single track and 5km of double track.

There are intermediate, junior and youth distances available.

“We’re going to have between six and a dozen people who were riding this in the 80s when they were teenagers,” Paul said.

“It rides better than it used to. We’ve had great feedback.”

Technical single-track sections include roots, rocks, rock faces, dirt and bridges, with uphill and downhill sections.

“After riding it on modern bikes, I can’t even believe we rode it before,” Paul said. “We don’t have terrain like that anywhere in Kamloops. We’re leaving the legacy of a trail for the people.”

Kamloops Youth Soccer Association executive director Keith Liddiard said McArthur Island is a hive of action, with 48 teams from across the province coming to town for the Girls Provincial B Cup. The tournament began on Thursday and wraps up on Sunday, with teams in under-13 through under-18 age groups vying for B.C. titles.

“People have a certain expectation of how these tournaments will be delivered,” Liddiard said, noting B.C. Soccer brass was arriving on Wednesday afternoon.

“It’s preparation time. We’ve added bleachers and fencing. The guys are all working feverishly on the fields. With all the rain on the weekend, it was pretty dour. All

the fields have been freshly painted.”

B.C. Soccer has four Youth Provincial Championships. From top tier to bottom tier: the Premier Cup, Les Sinnott Memorial Cup, A Cup and B Cup. Four Kamloops Blaze teams — two in the under-13 division and one each in the under-15 and under18 divisions — will compete at the Les Sinnott event, which runs until Saturday in Burnaby.

Seven Blaze squads — two each in the under-13 and under14 divisions and one each in the under-15, under-16 and under18 divisions — will be in action at the Girls B Cup. B Cup game times on Friday are noon, 3 p.m. and 6 p.m.

Kickoff times on Saturday are 10 a.m., 1 p.m. and 4 p.m.

Kamloops golfers Niles, Miller earning provincial championship experience MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Georgia Miller and Adam Niles are mixing it up with the top junior golfers in B.C. and finding out where they stand among their peers.

Both Rivershore Golf Links members qualified for the 18-and-under B.C. Golf Junior Championships, the girls playing this week at Kimberley Golf Club and the boys at Kamloops Golf and Country Club.

Miller, 17, had an exemplary attitude after playing what she described as, “very bad,” golf for two days, shooting 83 on Tuesday and 84 on Wednesday to sit at plus-23 with two rounds remaining. There was no cut in the girls’ championship The leader when Miller spoke to KTW was Leah John, a Vancouver product who was 4-under par on Wednesday afternoon.

“I thought, how did she do that?” said Miller, who this month completed Grade 11 at Valleyview secondary. “Show me the way. I need some advice here.

“I shot 83 the first day. That’s not that good. If you shoot under that the next day, it’s fine.

I didn’t do that today.”

There was no defeat in Miller’s voice, knowing it is her first B.C. championship tournament and the first four-day tourney she has entered.

“It’s a learning experience.

It’s just a really hard course and I’ve got to get my mentality straight,” Miller said. “I hope to shoot in the 70s [on Thursday and Friday]. There is actual good competition here.”

She hit her mark and shot 79 on Thursday and was plus30 for the tournament. John was atop standings at 1-over par as of KTW’s press deadline on Thursday.

Miller, who has NCAA Division 1 scholarship aspirations, placed second at the B.C. Golf Zone 2 Tour Championship at Gallagher’s Canyon Golf and Country Club in Kelowna in June and was

KTW FILE PHOTO Adam Niles is aiming to finish among the top 13 at the B.C. Golf Junior Boys Championship, which wraps up on Friday at Kamloops Golf and Country Club. If he reaches that goal, he will qualify for the national junior golf championship, which runs from July 30 to Aug. 2 in Medicine Hat.

second on the tour’s Order of Merit.

Emma Sabbagh of Kelowna, who is one year older than Miller, won the Tour Championship and the Order of Merit. Sabbagh will play golf on scholarship next season for the South Dakota Coyotes, an NCAA Division 1 program.

Now playing against competition from outside the Okanagan-Shuswap-Interior region on a challenging, long track, Miller is realizing how much work needs to be done.

“It’s all a grind,” she said.

“There are no gimmes on this course.”

Sabbagh was the top Zone 2

golfer at provincials as of press time, sitting at 12-over-par.

Niles, who turned 16 on June 22, has more experience at B.C. championships than Miller, the Kamloops event this week being his third provincial junior championship. He also has two appearances at juvenile (15- and 16-year-old) provincials under his belt.

He shot 3-over par 75 on Tuesday, but bounced back with a 3-under par 69 on Wednesday.

Niles shot 72 on Thursday for a three-round total of 216 (even par), which puts him in a tie for 10th at entering Friday’s fourth round.

Song Bai of Vancouver leads the way with a three-round total of 204, which has him at 6-under-par.

Niles is three years younger than many of the golfers he vanquished to win the Zone 2 championship at Gallagher’s in June. He placed second in the Order of Merit standings to augment a fantastic Zone 2 campaign.

“It’s been good,” Niles said.

“I definitely never really expected winning the tour championship or being that high up in the Order of Merit. It was definitely good to do that so early in my career.”

Niles, who did not start taking golf seriously until he was 10, said the local junior scene has a long way to go, but credited Jack Croucher at Rivershore and Kamloops Golf and Country Club general manager Brice MacDermott for work they are doing with younger children.

MacDermott’s wife, Lindsay, also teaches juniors at KGCC. “The junior scene is growing again,” Brice MacDermott said.

“At our club, we’ve got a young base of juniors. In the next couple of years, I really look for these kids to make an impact in the Zone 2 region and hopefully at a provincial level.

“Rivershore is growing.

Mount Paul just hosted a Kamloops Junior Golf Tour event. Hopefully, we can continue to do our part to aid that growth.”

BRONCOS WANT BILLET PARENTS MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops Broncos’ president Dino Bernardo is hunting for billet parents.

The local junior football team does its best to help find accommodation for players, most of whom will be in Kamloops by mid-July.

Players pay $750 per month to rent a room. Arrangements for meals, cooking and curfew are made between players and billet parents.

“The kids are generally out here for about three months, so it’s tough for them to sign a lease,” Bernardo said.

“Most of the kids are 17 and 18.”

Bernardo said parents of Kamloops Community Football players have often stepped forward to help out.

“Some of them found it nice to have them in the house to mentor their young football kid,” Bernardo said.

Billet parents will be required to undergo a criminal record check.

Players are in charge of their own transportation to work, practice and games.

The Broncos will begin the B.C. Football Conference season against the Okanagan Sun of Kelowna at Hillside Stadium on Aug. 5.

Kamloops’ last game of the regular season is slated for Oct. 13, when the Langley Rams come to town.

Bernardo is also looking for sponsors for the 2018 campaign.

Contact Bernardo by phone at 250-3711748 or by email at d_bernardo@hotmail. com.

JUDO GOLD

Megan Hanks of Aberdeen Judo Academy won gold in her weight class at the Canada Cup judo competition in Montreal.

LONDON — Eugenie Bouchard’s fourmatch winning streak is over — and so is the Canadian’s run at Wimbledon.

The 24-year-old native of Westmount, Que., dropped a 6-4, 7-5 decision to No. 17 seed Ashleigh Barty of Australia in the second round of the grass-court major on Thursday.

Bouchard, who won three qualifying matches to get into the main draw after seeing her ranking tumble to No. 188, led 5-2 in the second set against Barty and had one set point, but couldn’t pull it off.

“It was a couple tough games. I wish maybe at 5-3 I just took a little bit more time and focused on my serve to maybe try and put some better first serves in,’’ Bouchard

said. “But I was trying to be aggressive and she came up with some good shots, some tricky shots and that was to be expected as well but I gave everything.’’

Later in the day, No. 26 seed Denis Shapovalov of Richmond Hill, Ont., was eliminated after dropping a 0-6, 6-2, 6-4, 7-6 (3) decision to Benoit Paire of France in second-round play.

The result left No. 13 seed Milos Raonic of Thornhill, Ont., as the lone Canadian left in singles play. Raonic is scheduled to face Dennis Novak of Austria in the third round on Friday.

opponent who is playing really well right now, especially on this surface,’’ Bouchard said. “I think she has a great game for grass.

So I knew I was coming up against something tough and I’m disappointed because I felt like I had chances in both sets and I think played well but I know I can play better.’’

The match featured two previous winners of the Wimbledon girls’ title — Barty captured the crown in 2011, a feat matched by Bouchard a year later.

Bouchard went on to reach the Wimbledon women’s final in 2014, while Barty hadn’t won a match in the main draw until this year.

While the struggling Bouchard is still trying to find a return to form, which fell off sharply after her breakout 2014 season, she is

taking positives from advancing through qualifying and into the second round at the All England Club.

“I’m proud to be able to get some wins, especially right after the injury,’’ said Bouchard, who suffered an abdominal strain earlier this year.

“Like I said, it’s really hard to come back so that’s the big thing.

But really just to play matches, I know I have so much I need to work on and you can practise all you want, but there’s nothing like real matches, so I’m just grateful to do my job and play.’’

Meanwhile, Vancouver’s Vasek Pospisil and American partner Ryan Harrison lost 6-4, 7-6 (8), 6-2 to the German duo of Philipp Petzschner and Tim Puetz in a firstround men’s doubles match on Thursday.

MOSCOW — What to watch for in Friday’s matchups at the World Cup quarterfinals: TEAMMATES VS. TEAMMATES The first match features a number of teammates on their professional clubs facing off against each other when France takes on Uruguay in Nizhny Novgorod.

France forward Antoine Griezmann plays at Atletico Madrid alongside Uruguayan defenders Diego Godin and Jose Maria Gimenez; Godin is godfather to Griezmann’s daughter.

Those ties are so thick that Uruguay striker Luis Suarez needled Griezmann this week for trying to be Uruguayan.

Suarez himself will find a Barcelona teammate on the other side of the pitch in French defender Samuel Umtiti.

With so much talent on both sides, the late game in Kazan features even more intrasquad intrigue: Manchester City’s Gabriel Jesus, Fernandinho and

Danilo against teammates Vincent Kompany and Kevin De Bruyne of Belgium; Brazil’s Willian against Chelsea teammates Eden Hazard, Michy Batshuayi and Thibaut Courtois, all Belgian; and Belgium’s Thomas Meunier against his Brazilian teammates at Paris Saint-Germain — Marquinhos, Thiago Silva and Neymar.

SPEED AND SKILL VS. SOLID D Belgium is scoring almost

a goal a game more than any other team in the tournament, with 12 in four matches.

Brazil, to the surprise of some, has allowed just one goal in its four games.

Only one other team has been that stingy: Uruguay, which will face a France attack loaded with speed and scorers. In both cases, something will have to give.

in the world has had a strong tournament so far and is the biggest star whose team is still alive.

Some think Neymar could even win his first FIFA player of the year award if Brazil wins it all.

But he’s increasingly catching grief about his flopping , diving and writhing around after minor contact.

Will that prompt the referee to give the Belgian defenders more leeway, or will Neymar keep getting the calls?

It has been my PRIVILEGE to serve the people of Kamloops for the past 43 years. It is my HOPE to use this experience to assist families as the future unfolds.

Lorraine Aurore Tansley (née Cordonier) Mrs. Lorraine Aurore Tansley (née Cordonier) passed away peacefully at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice in Kamloops on July 3, 2018 at the age of 80 years.

Mom always told us of all her adventures of growing up on the Barnhartvale sheep ranch as one of 10 children, where Antoinette and Pierre welcomed those in need. Mom’s adventures away from the ranch began when she went to St. Ann’s Academy boarding school in Vancouver, followed with earning her LPN in nursing before marrying Marvin and starting her own family. They moved to Alberta where Lorraine became an avid skier, returning to her roots at the Sundre farm with horseback riding and a menagerie of animals. Returning to BC for retirement in Sicamous, which in Lorraine-speak, meant a whole new set of activities. She loved the challenge of dragon boating, ATVing and continued skiing and gardening. Lorraine loved her family and friends and was always up for “a visit”.

She is lovingly remembered by her husband of 60 years Marvin Douglas Tansley, four children Peter (Debra), Mark (Kathleen), Brenda (David) and Marvin (Gillian), eleven grandchildren Mark, Jason, Mikenna, Brynmor, Luci, Eleanor, Morgan, Antoinette, Georgia, Liliane and Wilfrid, siblings Armand, Louis, Rita and Leona.

She was predeceased by her parents Pierre and Antoinette, siblings Monica, Yvonne, Marie, Peter and Jeanne Celebration of Life service will be held on Sunday, July 15, 2018 at 2:00 pm in the Schoening Funeral Chapel, 513 Seymour St., Kamloops, BC. Father Paul Simms officiating.

I thought that was a bit odd, but I did it. One day I thought “Am I any less respectful if I wear ‘normal’ clothes?” So, I wear normal clothes – and people seem to feel more comfortable, and just as respected. !

Obituaries & In Memoriam Ivy Watson Aulin-Barron 1928 - 2018 It is with great sadness that we announce our Mother, Sister, Nana, GG and GGG, Ivy Aulin-Barron, passed away peacefully on July 1, 2018 at the age of 89 at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice in Kamloops.

Ivy was born on December 11, 1928 in Edinburgh, Scotland, the middle child of seven children born to Edward and Ellen Lovett. At 9 months of age, Ivy, her three siblings at the time and her parents left Scotland and immigrated to Canada settling in Kamloops. As a child, she spent time in Blue River and then Duncan, BC before returning to Chase and Kamloops in her twenties.

After dealing with health issues as a young child, she grew to become a determined, strong and feisty young lady with loads of charm. She loved to sing and dance, attending dances whenever she could and singing and entertaining her family and friends as often as possible.

She was predeceased by two great men who she shared her life with: George Kelly Aulin (deceased September 15, 1993) and Thomas (Tim) Barron (deceased January 5, 2016). She was predeceased by her parents and her siblings Betty Fedoruk, Jim Lovett, Chuck Lovett and Robin Lovett.

Ivy’s life was made rich by her family and the memories she shared. She has left a fingerprint on all she touched especially those closest to her. She is survived by her siblings John (Iva) Lovett and Alice Rodger, her children Sandra (Norman) Harrison, George (Marlene) Aulin, Ted Aulin, Kirk (Patti) Aulin and Cindy (Paul) Aulin – Haynes, her grandchildren Lisa Carnelley, Blaine (Tanya) Harrison, Ryan Harrison, Nikki (Carol) Aulin, Luke (Grace) Aulin, Mackenzie (Sherry) Aulin, Bryce Aulin, Kirsten (Layne) Ulmer, Jared Aulin, Ryan (Nadine) Aulin, Kirk Jr. Aulin, Jake Aulin, Alexsandra Aulin-Haynes, Robyn Aulin-Haynes

She was born on August 18, 1936 to William and Lucienne Holliston in Altamont, MB. She married the love of her life and best friend Donald on January 31, 1953.

She loved babies, children and generally all things family. She will be remembered for her feisty strong personality, her opinions, her charm, her love of laughter and her defence of her family. As the family matriarch, her greatest joy was being surrounded by those she loved and those who loved her. She was the extended families’ hairdresser, seamstress, carpenter, CEO and giver of advice.

She loved word games and card games, especially for the conversation and camaraderie that went along with that. Mom had an artistic side that she was able to use in her employment at Plaza Florists in Thompson and at the Co-op Florists in Portage La Prairie, MB. Mom also worked at Sears in both Thompson and Portage.

A very special thanks to Dr. Newmarch who provided care for Ivy for many years. We are very gratefully for the compassion, patience, kindness and loving care provided to Ivy.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Percy William (Bill) Howard “You gotta laugh everyday.”

Percy William (Bill) Howard passed peacefully with family at the Marjorie Willoughby Hospice in Kamloops, BC on Tuesday, July 3, 2018.

He is survived by his children Elizabeth Loucks, Donna Mabbett, Bill Howard, Gordon Howard, Leslie Cloutier, Patricia Vanier and Darin Howard, his grandchildren Debbie Paquette, Heather Norton, Susan Dakers, Karen Murenbeeld, Will Mabbett, Angel Mabbett, Steven Howard, Julie Cloutier, Nathalie Cloutier, John Vanier, Dustin Vanier, Evangeline Vanier, Davy Vanier, Anastasia Vanier, Renée Howard, Adrien Howard, Nico Howard and Logan Howard. He is also survived by numerous great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren. Percy was predeceased by his first wife of 67 years Jean Howard (née Moore) and his second wife of 7 years Viola Buck (née Gally). He is also preceded in passing by his siblings Reginald Howard, Doris Nordell, Eric Howard, Cyril Howard, Jim Howard, Robert Howard and grandson George Peters.

Percy was born on August 19, 1919 in North Battleford, Saskatchewan to William Howard and Nora Howard (née Bennet). He married Lillian Jean Howard prior to being sent overseas for WWII in 1940. He was a proud member of the Regina Rifles, driving transport. He can be seen in interviews in the award-winning Canadian docu-drama Storming Juno and the documentary War Story. After surviving the landing on Juno Beach on D-Day and pushing through to liberate Holland, Percy returned home after the war to his wife and eventually settled in the Lower Mainland of BC. Percy and Jean worked a small farm before starting his career with the corrections services. They adopted seven children over the years and fostering over three-dozen more. They moved their family to Kamloops, BC in 1963 where he continued with the BC Corrections Services until his retirement in 1979.

His post-retirement job was as caretaker of Sunnybrae Bible Camp. After losing his wife Jean, he was lucky in love again, remarrying Viola, a lifelong friend at age 90. While his wives’ needs found him living in a seniors’ home briefly, he remained living independently until his passing.

Vernon Morning Star

Percy was accomplished at puttering around, thinking grand ideas and loving his family. He was a fun-loving prankster, a generous, gentle man and enjoyed life to the max. When asked by so many people who met him and were impressed by his longevity, what his secret was, he said, “You have to laugh every day and love your family”. You could often find him enjoying a root beer float or shucking corn for a favourite meal. His candy dishes were filled regularly and friends were welcome to visit any time. Despite being a corrections warden, his soft-spoken manner always hit the target with wise counsel. He was an avid traveller with both his wives.

He felt it was important for his children to understand the history of his wartime experiences and brought them on a special D-Day tour, which they fondly remember. His love extended to furry friends including dogs, horses and his pigs, Hammy and Salami. He was an active and devout member of the First Baptist Church for 55 years. In 2014, Percy received the National Order of Honourary Legion from the president of the French Republic.

The family would like to thank Dr. Cribb and all the wonderful staff at her office, labs, Nurse Next Door and other nursing staff who filled his appointments and last days with joy.

A funeral is scheduled for 1:00 pm on Sunday, July 8, 2018 at First Baptist Church, 454 Columbia St, Kamloops, BC. A reception to follow at 3:30 pm at the same church. Pastor Allen Hern will officiate the ceremony. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Percy’s life.

Bernard John Taylor… Better known as “Bernie” to his family and friends, peacefully passed away on the evening of Monday, July 2, 2018 at Ridgeview Lodge, Kamloops, BC. Ever the gentleman, Bernie reached the respectable age of 95 years, 155 days. He was husband to his true love Joan until her passing in June, 2014. He leaves behind a large extended family and friends that stretch from the West to East coasts of Canada.

Don and Donna Shearer, along with Ed and MaryLee Zurawell wish to give heartfelt thanks to the Nursing Team, and Support Staff at Ridgeview Lodge for creating a safe and loving home for our “Uncle Bernie” these past few years, especially during his greatest time of need.

Prayers will be recited on Friday, July 6, 2018 at 7:00 pm at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church, 635 Tranquille Road, Kamloops. The Reverend Father Paul Simms will celebrate the Funeral Mass on Saturday, July 7, 2018 at 1:00 pm in the church. Interment will follow at Hillside Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Gideon Society (www.gideons.ca/donate).

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Parkinson’s Society, would be appreciated.

Never Quit

AUTHOR UNKNOWN

When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill When funds are low and debts are high And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing down a bit, Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.

Success is failure turned inside out – The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far, So, stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit – It’s when things seem worst that You must not quit!

KISSM marks 40 years with Grease ‘High School Musical’ and ‘Seussical’ also hit the stage DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

I

SEAN BRADY/KTW Andrew Cooper (King Louis et al.) and Laine Gillies (D’Artagnan) on stage in Prince Charles Park.

Munsch and Musketeers meet at X Fest SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

A

pair of productions — both involving The Three Musketeers — will be presented at this year’s X Fest, the annual theatre-in-the-park production by Project X Theatre, in Prince Charles Park.

Playwright Dusan Magdolen has adapted the classic novel

by Alexandre Dumas into something that puts women centre stage.

X Fest newcomer Laine Gillies plays antagonist D’Artagnan, accompanied by the Musketeers themselves, Athos (Randi Edmundson), Porthos (Melissa Purcha) and Aramis (Emily Whalen).

But in the play, viewers will see that D’Artagnan is really Diane, and as she disguises herself as a man to fulfill her dream of joining King Louis’ Musketeers, she finds she has more in common with the other musketeers than she first thought she would.

Magdolen said that while the play is an adaptation, it’s really taken on a life of its own.

“We could have done it where the story is the same, but women are playing the musketeers. That’s really not

that interesting to me,” he said.

The play’s director, Alyssa Bradac, said that was a big concern of hers as she approached the production — she didn’t want it to feel gimmicky.

“It’s a very different story. It has a different pulse, a different vibe — and a different consequence to it,” she said.

Bradac said that in many ways, it’s a completely new story, even though it has a title people are going to recognize.

“I hope people are excited by it. I hope it also makes them think about gender roles, about consequences, about what it is to follow your own path, versus following what we think we should do — and the courage it takes to do that.”

The play is more than its social commentary, though.

Bradac said it’s a lot of fun, too.

Part of that fun comes from all the swordplay. Cast members started preparing in January and have more than 40 hours of sword training, plus practice, under their belts.

Gillies, who has never done outdoor theatre, said she’s ready to wield a sword on stage.

“I can definitely hold my own in fake sword fighting,” she said.

Edmundson said she has had somewhat of an advantage, since puppetry and sword fighting share the same muscle groups, according to her.

She’ll play Athos in both productions this year. In The Three Munsch-keteers, a collection of stories by Robert Munsch melded with Musketeers characters, she has a role in puppeteering the titular character in Munsch’s Where Is Gah-Ning?

Edmundson created the Gah-Ning puppet, too, with the help of a theatre design friend in Vancouver. She’s been doing puppet design for X Fest every year since 2014.

“It’s so wonderful to have puppets in the Munsch stories because there’s so much magic,” she said.

“Whereas a human actor has to obey the laws of physics, a puppet can do so much more.”

Preview shows begin this week and The Three Musketeers opens Thursday, July 12, and The Three Munsch-keteers follows the next day. Both are at 7 p.m.

For a full schedule and ticket information, go online to projectxtheatre.ca.

t’s been 40 years since Danny Zuko fell for Sandy Olsson on those Summer Nights.

But Grease will be the word at this year’s instalment of the Kamloops Interior Summer School of Music (KISSM) — and it’s expected the production planned for July 26 at Sagebrush Theatre will sell out.

Grease, the story of the greaser gang leader who falls for the Australian new student at Rydell High School, wasn’t KISSM executive director Kim Mangan’s choice to do this year — she has a hankering for ice cream to blame for its selection.

At the end of last year’s summer classes — students take 100 hours of instruction over a three-week period — she wanted to relax and chill out, so she headed to a Dairy Queen. Inside were many of the musical-theatre students who were also celebrating the end of the classes and they wanted to know what plays would be on the 2018 schedule.

“I said I have no idea and someone said how about Grease? And I said sure,” Mangan said, not knowing the challenges she would face obtaining the rights involved. She needed to get them for both the play and the film — and they don’t share all the same songs — so she found herself in the months after the end of one summer session and prepping for this year’s classes “with a lot of paperwork and hoops to get through.”

There’s some synchronicity in being successful, however, because Grease isn’t the only musical creation marking four decades this year. So is KISSM and it’s one of the best years in its history, Mangan said, with a record 278 students registered to take classes from 33 teachers.

Grease will be accompanied by High School Musical, which will also be at Sagebrush Theatre on July 25.

Using the big stage is new for KISSM; in past years, it has presented its productions in other smaller locations, something it’s doing this year with its third play, Seussical, which will be staged in the theatre room at Kamloops School of the Arts. It’s not open to the public with the target audience family members of the grades four through six students who will be doing it. The two bigger musicals will be performed by high-school students.

Mangan attributed the boost in enrolment to the expansion that has surrounded KISSM. Once its own entity, KISSM has become a key feature of what is now known as the Kamloops Music Collective.

One of the other programs it offers is Band Together, where it collects new or gently used instruments from the community to lend to youth who can’t afford their own.

Its Whole Note program offers music lessons throughout the year to youth with some musical experience but who need some financial support. Students from grades six to 11 can apply for it each fall.

There’s plenty of other musical outreach; the collective partners with the Boys and Girls Club of Kamloops to provide music classes, drumming ukulele workshops to clients at the Kamloops Brain Injury Association, music workshops during the city’s Unplug and Play Week and it has a full drumline set that can be heard in many events in Kamloops, including the Santa Claus parade.

“There are so many opportunities in the community to offer programming,” Mangan said, “and there’s a real desire from the kids.

It’s the perfect storm of goodness.”

Tickets for the musicals are available at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483 or kamloopslive.ca. Showtime for both is 7 p.m.

Tickets are $11 for youth and $16.25 for adults.

And, Mangan notes, 400 tickets have already been bought for Grease.

File-sharing era devalued artists’ work

I

n the late 1990s, Shawn Fanning started Napster, a peer-to-peer file-sharing service allowed subscribers to share music with each other, free of charge. By 2001, the service was sued out of existence due to breaking copyright laws, but its success inspired dozens of other services, like LimeWire, Kazaa and Grokster.

By the end of the 2000s, you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone not using a file-sharing service for downloading music, movies or books free of charge.

Until record companies caught up and started to make money off of music on the internet, it was a free-for-all. But the damage had been done. For a decade, music listeners had been conditioned that they didn't have to pay for music.

And so, art was devalued.

Today, you can buy a song off iTunes for just 99 cents. But that price does not reflect the amount of time, creativity and money that went into creating the music.

Similarly, artists are paid fractions of a cent for each play on an online streaming service, much less than they get from a regular

radio station, or from selling an entire album. It's extremely difficult for even talented musicians to make a living out of creating music.

It used to be that bands could make some money by touring, but only the biggest stars can make that claim now. Emerging artists are sometimes asked to play for a pittance — maybe a meal and $20.

The touring scene is full of stories about bands asked to play for free, with venue owners or promoters saying they'll gain “exposure.” Exposure, however, doesn't help an artist improve their equipment, pay for the gas needed to get to the next show or help band members feed themselves.

File-sharing services still exist and they've gotten more sophisticated. Torrents are a common way to share music for free. Servers have moved to other countries to avoid prosecution from copyright violations, or to countries more forgiving of online privacy laws.

Hidden websites offer free material on more shadowy parts of the internet.

With streaming services, the problem gets even worse. Once a streaming service starts to learn

what you like, it will tend to suggest the same things. Trusting your musical tastes to an algorithm ensures that you won't be exposed to much beyond what you've already heard, and streaming services can also tool their algorithms to program better known musicians, which never gives you the choice to hear lesser known artists and consume their music.

Artists deserve to be paid for what they do. If you, as a consumer, like the music you hear, you have an obligation to pay for it so that those who produce it can afford to make more. Passion for creation only goes so far. Art is worth something. Music is something that needs to be paid for, not stolen from a file-sharing service.

WELCOME TO THE HolMES IS WHERE

There are three special words everyone longs to hear in their life.

No matter who delivers these words, they make us feel warm, grateful, loved, excited and happy. Some lucky people hear these words every day from a partner, spouse, child, friend or parent. These words are like magic. They can stop a fight, reassure us, lift us up and provide the the security we are looking for in our relationships.

The words are “I love you.”

I don’t really believe in love at first sight unless it’s your newborn baby being placed in your arms. Some people can jump the gun on these three words too early in a relationship, but I’m not an expert and have no opinion on when it’s appropriate to use them.

I do have an opinion on three other words I despise. When I hear them spoken, the sound is like fingernails on a chalkboard. The first time I heard these three words, they were spoken

volunteer strategically placed at a fork in the trail and he cheerfully encouraged me with those three words I will never forget: “You’re almost there!”

Wow! I’m almost there? That’s wonderful.

Finally! I won’t be needing that iPod after all.

I had a sudden burst of energy and trotted happily around the corner, expecting to see the finish line. After about five more minutes, my trot became a plod.

After 10 more minutes became 20 and then 30, I realized there was no music or finish-line announcements in the distance, I actually considered limping back to that volunteer and giving him a piece of my mind.

His definition of “almost there” was completely different from mine.

What has this got to do with dating? I recently connected a match and told the woman she would hear from the man “shortly.” Five days later, she contacted me, letting me know she

to me by a stranger.

I was in a trail race in Vernon years ago. I had been on the mountain for a few hours and was starting to hit the wall.

I was feeling exhausted and irritable and found myself quite fatigued.

I hadn’t seen anyone ahead of me or behind me in a while, but I knew I was on the right trail as the neon flagging tape was marking the path.

I decided I needed to pull out the iPod out for some last-minute pick-me-up music. I was sure a little AC/DC could come to the rescue. Just then, I spotted a race

A group of contemporary classical composers from Victoria has promised to deliver some unique sounds in a show coming to the River City on Monday.

Victoria Composers Collective members Nathan Friedman, Lynne Penhale and Maria Eduarda Mendes Martins will be joined by special guest Bailey Finley at Kamloops United Church.

Kamloops is the group’s final stop on a short tour of the mainland that also included shows in Vancouver, Salmon Arm and Kelowna.

Friedman, who plays clarinet and piano, and Finley, who plays the flute, are both native to Kamloops and grew up here — both also attended the University of Victoria as part of their music education.

Friedman has a master’s degree in composition and experimental music, but said only parts of what the group will be performing would be considered experimental.

“Some of it sounds a little bit traditional, but at least one element of the music will be more exploratory,” Friedman said.

Before the performance, Friedman and company will give a pre-concert talk.

Friedman said he likes to prepare the audience a little beforehand to give them a particular part of the music to listen for, especially if they’re new to this kind of music.

“We’ll explain a technical aspect and what it sounds like, and give a few samples,” he said.

One thing to listen for might be Finley’s simultaneous role as both flute player and vocalist.

“For one of the pieces that I’m playing, I’m doing some singing while I’m playing flute — which makes a really interesting texture,” she said.

She also mentioned audiences might want to listen for growls while she sings.

“There are some really unique sounds that we make that you might not have heard before,” she said.

Friedman said that their performance is likely a unique opportunity “you won’t be able to hear at any other time in town” and thinks the group has something for everyone.

“There’s also a huge variety of pieces, so if you don’t like one thing, you’ll definitely like something else — and most of the program will be something for everyone,” he said.

The group will perform at 8 p.m. at Kamloops United Church, 421 St. Paul St. The pre-concert talk starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 and available online at eventbrite.ca.

hadn’t heard from him.

Apparently, my “shortly” differed from his “shortly.”

In another encounter, a man was organizing his first date with a lady via email. She said she would be available in 12 days — a time frame that sounded good to her, but not to him.

Just like a gym membership, a matchmaking membership takes dedication and effort.

I think an appropriate time frame to email your match is within two days.

A face-to-face meeting should definitely happen within the first week.

I know how lost and confused it feels to be wandering aimlessly, looking for the finish line, so if you haven’t arrived within a week, let me know and I will sign you up for a different race.

If you are single and happy and ready to put your dating shoes on, contact me by email at holmes@wheretheheartis.ca. One lucky person will win a $50 gift certificate to Nandi’s Flavours of India.
