THE AMAZING RACE COMES TO KAMLOOPS

The Amazing Race Canada contestants sped through Kamloops on Wednesday, just a day after filming of the season began in Toronto. The popular show pits 10 teams of two against each other in a race across Canada and beyond, with the team crossing the finish line after many weeks on the road winning $500,000 in cash and prizes. The race is divided into a series of legs and on each leg, teams compete to reach the Pit Stop, where they are greeted by host Jon Montgomery. The last team to reach the host in each leg is usually eliminated. The 10 teams jumped off a plane at Kamloops Airport on Wednesday morning and jumped into waiting vehicles. From the airport, they raced across the city, camera operators in tow, using clues to try to find locations where they were met with challenges. One team was stopped by a Kamloops Mountie while speeding up the Summit Connector toward Aberdeen. The Amazing Race Canada will air this summer, at a yet-to-be-determined date, on CTV.

Dr. Bonnie Henry, B.C.’s provincial health officer, has released her report, Stopping the Harm: Decriminalization of People Who Use Drugs in BC, as part of an effort to mitigate the provincial overdose crisis. The report looks at how the decriminalization of possession and use of illegal drugs for personal use could help turn the tide on the overdose crisis, which was declared a public health emergency three years ago. Henry is urging the provincial government to consider decriminalization, which means possession of illegal drugs for personal use would not lead to incarceration or a criminal record. “Experts, including people with lived experience, agree that our existing drug laws are further stigmatizing people living with addiction, a chronic, relapsing health condition,” Henry said. “The decriminalization of people who are in possession of drugs for personal use is the next logical and responsible step we must take to keep people alive and connect them to the health and social supports they need.” The report outlines how stigma leads many people who use drugs to hide their usage and creates barriers to using harm-reduction and treatment services.

Henry said prohibition-based drug policies and strategies are significant contributors to the “deeprooted shame and blame associated with illegal drug use.” She said evidence shows that criminalizing people who use drugs does more harm than good, noting decriminalization is a way for law enforcement to help people living with addiction connect to the supports they need. “We are scaling up evidencebased treatment and recovery services like opioid agonist treatment, harm-reduction measures and the provision of a safer drug supply,” Henry said. “But we need to do more. We need to decriminalize people in possession of controlled substances for personal use so that we can protect them from the highly-toxic street drug supply and curtail the mounting number of preventable overdose deaths in B.C.” In response to Henry’s report, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General Mike Farnworth said he doesn’t believe a single province could “go it alone” when it comes to decriminalization, as was the case with the legalization of cannabis. “Possessing these substances is still illegal under federal law. No provincial action can change that,” Farnworth told reporters during a press conference on Wednesday. See POLICE CHIEF, A6

If a vote is cast at the ThompsonNicola Regional District and no one is around to record it, does it truly exist? Last week, the board overwhelmingly nixed a motion that suggested examining costs of an electronic voting and video broadcast system. Now, at least one director wants to revisit the issue. “I would like to see this brought back and I hope it’s not the end of the discussion,” Kamloops Coun. Kathy Sinclair told KTW, noting she does not understand why directors voted against improving transparency. TNRD Area P (Rivers and the Peaks) director Mel Rothenburger proposed investigating the cost of an electronic voting system, on the basis transparency and accountability are fundamental to democracy. The TNRD does not record how directors vote at meetings, which are typically held in Kamloops, hours

away from some TNRD communities. Instead, board decisions as a whole are documented in the minutes. The TNRD does not broadcast meetings. Kamloops Coun. Arjun Singh tried to amend Rothenburger’s motion to investigate a video initiative, which is practised — though not required — by the City of Kamloops. “We do that at the city,” Singh said. “I don’t know whether there’s an appetite from the board.” There was not and Singh’s broadcast proposal was the first to be defeated. (How directors voted is unclear.) Meanwhile, Rothenburger noted in his motion that other councils and governments record votes, with the TNRD an “anomaly.” Additionally, he said, electronic voting would reduce errors. “This would be the next positive step in making ourselves clear, easy to understand and in communicating to the public the results of our decisions,” Rothenburger said.

The board, however, disagreed. Kamloops Coun. Mike O’Reilly told KTW he sought input from veteran directors, who said it has historically not been problematic. Counting hands should suffice, suggested another director. The TNRD has 26 directors and staff have said it is too cumbersome to document how they vote. Meanwhile, Merritt Mayor Linda Brown does not understand why individual vote recording matters. “What I do worry about is a potential tearing apart of the word ‘team,’” she said. Area E (Bonaparte Plateau) director Sally Watson said that while she is part of the team, the team doesn’t always agree and constituents want to know where she stands on issues concerning them. “It’s really important that they are able to find that out,” she said. Voting in favour of investigating the costs of an electronic voting system were Kamloops councillors Dale Bass, Singh and Sinclair and directors Rothenburger and Watson. Those on the opposing side

included board chair Ken Gillis, Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian and Kamloops councillors O’Reilly and Dieter Dudy. Also opposed were Ashcroft Mayor Barbara Roden (who is also editor of the Ashcroft-Cache Creek Journal), Logan Lake Mayor Robin Smith, Merritt Mayor Linda Brown and directors Steven Rice (Blue Sky Country), David Laird (Nicola Valley North), Bill Kershaw (Lower North Thompson) and Ronaye Elliott (Copper Desert Country). A final and absolute vote count is unknown. Meanwhile, Kamloops councillor and former TNRD director Denis Walsh said he was “shocked and disappointed” by the outcome, reminding Kamloops taxpayers of their financial interest in TNRD decisions — more than $6 million annually via a separate line item on their property tax bills to pay for items like the library system. “Voters have a fundamental right to know how their representatives are voting on issues that affect them,” Walsh said.

Cooper Foundation to reveal its gift to hospice JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

On Friday, the Kamloops Hospice Association will unveil its new community resource centre, a 37,000-square-foot expansion to the end-of-life facility in Sahali. The building, which is attached to the pre-existing Marjorie Snowden Willoughby Memorial Hospice Home via a breezeway, includes space for therapy, counselling and education. Executive director Wendy Marlow said hospice staff hope to take expertise from down the hallway and offer it to patients, families and the community in its new space, including workshops on subjects like basic and advanced care and will and estate planning. “We really want to invite them into our space and share our knowledge,” Marlow said. Part of the hospice’s strategic plan, the expanded services came to fruition courtesy what Marlow calls the “amazing gift” from the Cooper family in Kamloops. The family behind the wellknown grocery store chain and

also involved locally in residential and commercial development, chose the hospice as the first beneficiary of the Cooper Family Foundation. With help from generous trades people and the community, the foundation built the hospice addition for $1.4 million. “I think the best word to describe how the family and the foundation board feels is humbling,” Cooper Family Foundation CEO and president Nelly Dever said. The foundation raised money for the project via Wings Above Kamloops, am endeavour that saw the organization build a house in Aberdeen and auction it off. Tradespeople and community members also made financial contributions, which were matched by the family. The Cooper family covered management fees and more than 70 partners and sponsors supported the initiative. Dever said the family was looking for a way to give back to the community in starting the foundation, noting the hospice was an easy choice as its first project because Ron Cooper Jr. and Ron Cooper Sr.

both passed away at the facility. “They wanted a way of paying it back and paying it forward,” Dever said. Shovels hit the ground late last summer, beginning with a new parking lot, and the Kamloops Hospice Association took occupancy of the space at the beginning of March. “It’s overwhelming, in a beautiful, beautiful way,” Marlow said. As the hospice association settles into the new space, Marlow said it is open to ideas from the community for the education component of the new centre. Those interested in future workshops or with ideas can contact the hospice by calling 250-372-1336. On Friday, a garden party will be held at the hospice to officially unveil the new building. On hand will be the Cooper family, the foundation board, hospice staff and volunteers and the many people who brought the philanthropic project to life, including tradespeople. The Cooper Family Foundation will announce its next project later this spring.

Police, however, are already working on innovative strategies in this area, Farnworth said. He pointed to pilot projects in Abbotsford, Vancouver and Vernon, where police refer people to treatment instead of the criminal justice system in an effort to reduce the fear of reporting an overdose. Farnworth said he’ll look closely at the results of these initiatives, which are due in the fall, and see if they can be expanded to other areas. He stressed the issue of drug addiction is a complex one and noted examples of steps the government has taken to address it such as investing in housing, creating a poverty-reduction strategy, establishing a separate ministry of mental health and addictions and safe injection sites. “There’s no silver bullet,” Farnworth said. Abbotsford Police Chief Mike

Serr agrees with Henry’s report. “Supporting people who use illicit street drugs is best addressed through a comprehensive public health strategy and not through the criminal justice system,” Serr said. “We will continue to target those who import, produce and distribute illicit street drugs; however, arresting for personal possession will not decrease the demand for street drugs. “We need to increase treatment, prevention and education strategies to effect real change.” Dr. Keith Ahamad, medical director of the regional addiction medicine program with Vancouver Coastal Health and clinician scientist with the BC Centre on Substance Use, said criminalizing people who use drugs fosters mistrust with the health system and discourages people who need and want care from seeking it. “Further, it creates an atmosphere of stigma towards this patient population who are regularly turned away by health-care

providers who don’t understand that addiction is a health issue, not a criminal justice one,” Ahamad said. “Decriminalizing people who use drugs represents a critical step in ending this public health emergency.” At least 30 countries, including Portugal, Australia, Spain, Uruguay, Norway, Chile and some U.S. jurisdictions, are looking into or have implemented policies that decriminalizes simple possession and use of controlled substances. In 2001, Portugal adopted a decriminalization approach to drug possession for personal use in response to an unprecedented growth in heroin addiction, overdose and HIV. In B.C., more than 3,000 people have died by overdose in the last two years, while the Ministry of Health estimates more than 115,000 people are living with opioid use disorder in B.C., with only a small percentage receiving treatment.

The Bamboo Inn located in The Brock Shopping Centre has been a fixture in Brocklehurst and Kamloops for that matter since 1972. The longest serving restaurant in Kamloops has been dishing some of the tastiest Chinese food to their customers and it's no fluke they've been around so long. Cosmo Li, owner operator and his brother Wilson started their venture in the restaurant business with the idea that North Kamloops needed a Chinese eatery and it proved correct. Cosmo, a Psych nurse at the Tranquille Institution in 1972 and his brother Wilson, a chef from Hong Kong developed a take out only store front that quickly grew into a full service restaurant.

The current location at 1800 Tranquille road is the original location and as Cosmos says "We never mess with success". Bamboo Inn is a 100 seat facility that can also host business, staff, or any function and they have a liquor license. They also cater to large parties with any dietary requirements. Stop in or call and see what you may have been missing. "After 46 years, our food and customer service is proof enough that we're doing something right" Cosmo says.

Accused killer returns to court A Cache Creek man accused of murder is scheduled to make another court appearance this Monday. Corey Harkness, 31, is charged with second-degree murder in connection with a Jan. 14 shooting inside a Cache Creek home that left 33-year-old Brock Ledoux dead.

Mounties find their man

Harkness was released on a $100,000 bail with a $10,000 deposit on Feb. 4, but was arrested for breaching his conditions on Feb. 18 when he was absent for a police curfew check. He had been ordered to reside with relatives while free on bail. Harkness appeared in B.C.

DECRIM PROPOSAL SHOULD BE TRIED

r. Bonnie Henry, B.C.’s provincial health officer, has called for the decriminalization of simple possession and use of illicit drugs. It is a call KTW and others have echoed in the past, if for no other reason than the criminalization of those who use drugs — whether addicted or not — is clearly not working. Thousands are in prison and thousands more are dead because society, for some reason, deems some drugs as being worse than others, despite the fact some drugs that are legal (alcohol, for example) contribute to the far more deaths and injuries than other, illegal, drugs. But the number of overdose deaths in B.C. remains high, too high, which is why Henry’s report, Stopping the Harm: Decriminalization of People Who Use Drugs in BC, should be seriously considered by the powers-that-be. In response to Henry’s report, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General Mike Farnworth said the province does not have the powers to act on Henry’s recommendations legislatively. “Possessing these substances is still illegal under federal law,” Farnworth said. “No provincial action can change that.” Actually, the province and municipalities can indeed do something — and some are, including Abbotsford, Vancouver and Vernon, where pilot projects see police refer people to treatment instead of the criminal-justice system in an effort to reduce the fear of reporting an overdose. Police everywhere, even in Kamloops, have the power of discretion. The Kamloops Mounties use it every day in many ways, from deciding to not issue a ticket to a helmetless bike rider to deciding to ignore the fact an illegal cannabis shop is operating in the city. There is no reason Henry’s recommendations cannot be enacted in such a way at street level. It is lamentable that the RCMP will not comment on Henry’s report, while municipal police forces are a healthy part of the conversation. It would be interesting to hear what local police leaders think of the proposal.

Past and present politics

hen Terry Lake confirmed in late January that he was considering seeking the federal Liberal nomination in the Oct. 21 election, I thought he would do so, as did many others. It was while interviewing Lake a few weeks later that I knew he was all in. As part of a story on Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod, I called her former and potential future political opponents for their opinions on her three-term tenure as Conservative MP. It was how Lake referred to McLeod that pinged me to the fact he was already campaigning. Lake was complimentary of McLeod’s performance as MP and did not offer too much criticism, but it was the tense he used while speaking about her that stood out during the interview. It was past, not present — as though we were discussing the role of a former MP. McLeod could have been Betty Hinton, Nelson Riis, Don Cameron or Len Marchand in the discussion. Perhaps it was deliberate. Perhaps it was an innocent, yet consistent slip of the tongue. In any event, during that interview, McLeod “was a very good constituency MP.” McLeod “always had time for people and good staff who worked through those issues.” It’s subtle, but it’s something. Now that Lake has confirmed what most assumed would hap-

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom

MUSINGS pen, political nerds are getting excited about this heavyweight election campaign showdown. (Yes, Lake still needs to secure the nomination and he may face others, but he will be the Liberal candidate.) His main challenge will be to convince the conservative B.C. Liberal supporters who helped him become MLA to back him federally. Provincially, conservative voters are essentially stuck with one party — the B.C. Liberals, a coalition of federal Liberals and Conservatives. Federally, they have McLeod’s Conservative Party of Canada as an option. “I know some of those people would be disappointed for me thinking about running for the [federal] Liberals,” Lake told KTW in February as he spoke of the conservative element that backed him as a B.C. Liberal. The 2015 federal election saw the Liberals garner the most votes ever in this riding, with Steve Powrie receiving 21,215 at the ballot box.

NDP candidate Bill Sundhu received about 200 more votes, with a total of 21,466. And, while McLeod won with 24,595 votes, she did so with her smallest percentage of the vote ever — 35 per cent. In 2011, McLeod was re-elected with 52 per cent of the vote. In 2008, she won with 46 per cent of the vote. Granted, the 2015 election was awash in an ABC (anybody but Conservative) contingent among the electorate — and that helped Powrie and Sundhu and hurt McLeod. There were even some past Conservative voters who decided to go with Powrie or Sundhu. Without such a movement this year, where will those votes go? Yes, the SNC-Lavalin controversy and the massive broken promise in electoral reform could harm Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his Liberal party, but does the average voter really care about those issues? As gas prices rise ever higher and taxes and fees swallow more of our paycheques and more tax dollars are spent on climatechange mitigation efforts, I’d bet the average voter is far more concerned with the issue Bill Clinton’s campaign strategist James Carville homed in on during the 1992 U.S. presidential election: “The economy, stupid.” How the voter’s household finances look in October will play a large part in which candidate gets the nod. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

TEACHERS DO NOT DESERVE ABUSE FROM STUDENTS Editor: I certainly got an earful listening to The Sunday Edition with Michael Enright on CBC Radio recently. Teachers are being physically attacked and threatened in the classroom on a daily basis by dear, little children. They are being kicked, pushed, hit, cursed, spit at and threatened by out-of-control children. What is a teacher to do? Apparently, not much.

Students have no consequences for bad behaviour. Many of these children have emotional problems because parents are not there for them. Children vent their frustrations, rage and grief on their teachers. Many parents do not teach their children respect for others. Incidentally, the majority of today’s teachers are women and many of them are leaving the profession because they are fed up

with the abuse. No one seems to be supporting teachers. Apparently, principals and school boards want to avoid conflict and bad publicity, so they ignore and gloss over the conflict teachers experience on the front lines. Meanwhile, parents blame teachers for their children’s bad behaviour. Ask yourself: what kind of parent are you? Are you present in your child’s life? Do you give your

children boundaries and teach them to respect others? Are you there to show them love and make them feel safe? Don’t be an absent parent and expect teachers to raise your child. Your child is your responsibility. Don’t blame teachers for your failures. In defence of teachers, I would humbly suggest all classrooms and hallways be monitored with video cameras.

Then, what is actually going on is there for all to see and cannot be ignored or justified by parents and principals. This would be a strong deterrent in helping stop abuse against teachers. It would also provide a deterrent to the abuse children suffer at the hands of their bullying classmates. Claudette Laffey Kamloops

PROVINCE NEEDS TO FIND ALTERNATIVE SUPPLIERS OF FUEL Editor: Re: KTW’s editoral of April 24 (‘Pipeline feud needs to stop flowing’): The editorial, which seems to be hoping Alberta won’t beat us up by restricting fuel movement to B.C., is not necessarily the best way to approach this looming problem. There is no “feud” — only one party acting as a bully. British Columbia is staying cool and acting responsibly by fleshing out its legal rights to

environmental protection through the courts. Since Alberta Premier-elect Jason Kenney wants to escalate the situation by stopping the flow of gasoline and fuel to B.C. via the existing pipeline (but keeping tarsands bitumen flowing), a relevant and effective response from B.C. could be two-fold: 1. Immediately act to put into place more responsible and dependable alternative suppliers of fuel to B.C. 2. Bring forward legislation completely

shutting off all Alberta oil flow through B.C. via the existing Trans Mountain pipeline. This would primarily stop flow of tarsands bitumen heading to oil tankers at the coast, which is an obvious environmental threat now to B.C. waters, fish and sea life. The existing pipeline is obsolete, having been in use since 1953, even though it was not originally designed to accommodate the heavy and coarse tarsands bitumen. Clearly, there would be some short-term

pain until new suppliers of refined gasoline and fuel could be put into place. But this a good opportunity to eliminate the threat arising from the daily movement of the dirtiest oil in the world across our land, rivers and ports, as well as to act on the threat to climate change posed by ramping up tarsands production. John McNamer and Susan Mann Kamloops

FUNDRAISE FOR YOUR ARTS CENTRE Editor: The citizens of Kamloops have already informed the people behind the push for a city-funded performing-arts centre they want none of their taxes to support such a venue. We already had a referendum on

the subject, back in 2015. I have not seen or heard of any fundraising at all by the people who want a PAC. A few have donated some of their money to the cause, but if you think Kamloops needs a new PAC, maybe try using some time man-

agement, along with sweat equity. Do some fundraising instead of pushing the cost of such an expensive project that would serve the very few onto the backs of every taxpaying citizen in Kamloops. Colin Wookey Kamloops

OPINION SD73 board has strong focus on the arts

n April 9, Ian Mackenzie’s letter regarding the importance of the school district being a leader in teaching the arts was published in KTW. We could not agree with MacKenzie more. While he is correct that the board of education has highlighted numeracy as a high priority item in this year’s budget, it is not at the expense of funding for arts. In fact, the board has made it a priority to maintain funding for expanded arts programming even in the face of previous budget shortfalls. The KamloopsThompson school board has a long history of supporting arts

education through myriad curricular opportunities for students to experience and participate in the arts. The board has invested heavily in enhancements through district-sponsored music, performing arts, visual arts and creative writing endeavours. We have preserved the district strings pro-

gram and we fund a fine-arts co-ordinator. The co-ordinator provides mentoring and professional development for our teachers, while also supporting the District Honours Choir, the Kamloops-Thompson Children’s Choir, the District Honour Band, the District Jazz Band, the District Secondary Art Show and Curatorial Workshop, the Young Artists Conference and the Young Authors Conference. In addition, every elementary student is able to experience five Young People’s Concerts each year, where they are exposed to professional theatre and concert performances. The majority of our secondary schools

have dedicated music instructors who teach courses such as band, jazz band, choir and guitar. Many of our elementary schools have choirs and drumming. We have music kits and instruments available for teachers to borrow through the district library program at the Henry Grube Education Centre. We have dedicated drama teachers who often support drama club productions that showcase the talents of their students. We are proud of our fine-arts teachers who nurture students’ drawing, sculpting and photography skills. At the Kamloops School of the Arts school of choice, the curriculum is taught

HOLMES IS WHERE THE When we hear the word “intervention,” we often think about addiction and the A&E TV series in which we follow a family that has given a loved one an ultimatum to basically shape up or ship out. Obviously, it’s never that simple and if you have been reading the Ask An Addict column in Kamloops This Week, you will have been informed about the ups and downs involved in the long road to recovery. The actual definition of “intervention” is “the act of intervening” or “interposition or interference of one state in the affairs of another.” I have been the recipient recently of a couple of interventions. One was during Christmastime, when my loving cousin and her daughter gave me a gift, but first I was blindfolded and then led to a mysterious location. When I removed the blindfold, I was sitting in a hairdressers’s chair, where it became obvious my lack of attention to my lid was about to be addressed. I call that an Interhairvention. The other came a couple of weeks ago, on April 1, when the annual prank courtesy of

TARA HOLMES

Match Match Maker Maker EXTRAORDINAIRE EXTRAORDINAIRE

my kids involved hundreds of people in Kamloops holding up blown-up poster boards of my worst selfies. I reckon that was an Interselfievention. The one thing about interventions is they actually do stem from a place of love and concern. I have seen people come to my matchmaking business as a way to help in an intervention for their loved ones as well. I have had parents contact me, concerned about the ongoing bad decisions their kids are making on the Tinder app. They hope I can intervene. I have had kids contact me for their parents and grandparents. They hope I can help them find a partner after divorce or the death of

a spouse. Here’s the thing, though — of course my matchmaking business could help them, but I am certainly not going to sit around in a circle and be a part of that conversation. If you fall into any of the above categories, here’s a gentle, sneaky approach that may do the trick. Think about cutting out this column from the newspaper and putting it in something your parents take to work — a briefcase, purse or lunch bag. Maybe send your kids the link to my website, Facebook page or Instagram account. Toss my business card in a gym bag, on a bedside table or on a home office desk. I am pretty confident once I have a conversation with your family member, and explain how much easier the dates I arrange are compared to the ones they are getting on Bumble, they will be off to the races — but not the kind of races that require a gambling intervention session. If you are a happy, single person who is ready to move on after being divorced or widowed, I can intervene. Contact me by email at holmes@wheretheheartis.ca.

through the arts. Students not only study the performing and visual arts, but are required to use the arts to support learning in all areas of the curriculum. We support the work of Kamloops Interior Summer School of Music by promoting its programming in our schools and we ensure there is rental space available for their summer program each year. This past year, we partnered with the Thompson Rivers University Choir, the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra and the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra Choir to provide those students in the Kamloops Thompson Honour Choir and the Children’s Choir the

opportunity to practise and perform with professional musicians. That partnership has borne fruit in that several of our students continue to practice with the TRU Choir and plan on taking art and music courses at TRU once they graduate from high school. We also support the arts in our community with our partnership with the Western Canada Theatre Company by providing funding for the maintenance and operation of Sagebrush Theatre. Sagebrush is booked every day of the year with a plethora of arts groups, including children’s dance performances, musical performances, comedy shows, concerts, speakers, theatrical produc-

tions and other community events. The arts are alive and thriving in our schools and the board will continue to work hard to ensure every student has the opportunity to experience a quality education that includes a rich arts curriculum. As Mackenzie so eloquently wrote in his recent letter to the editor, “We are in peril if we do not invest in them in a substantial way. By all means train the intellect, but at the same time priorize the soul.” Kathleen Karpuk is chair of the KamloopsThompson board of education. She can be reached by email at kkarpuk@sd73.bc.ca.

Sarai seeking seat on Southern Interior board JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

A first-term Kamloops city councillor will be putting his name forward next week to join the Southern Interior Local Government Association executive board. Bill Sarai said he hopes to get nominated off the floor for one of two director-at-large positions. “It will give us a voice together to gather concerns that happen in the Interior,” he said. “We can all speak as one.” Sarai will head to Penticton alongside council colleagues for the association’s annual general meeting and convention, which will

be held from April 30 to May 3 at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre. The event will host 150 mayors, councillors and directors from nearly 40 municipalities and regional districts across B.C.’s Southern Interior. The area has about 220 elected officials, meaning about twothirds of area representatives will be in attendance. Among those attending from Kamloops include Sarai and fellow councillors Arjun Singh, Dale Bass and Kathy Sinclair and Mayor Ken Christian. Singh is scheduled to speak as president of the Union of BC Municipalities. The mayor said he is keenly interested in

KAMLOOPS COUN. BILL SARAI matters of policing and health care. “There’s the whole notion of issues related to the keeping of prisoners, there’s issues related to the provincial support for rural detachments, there’s

issues related to the opioid crisis and how it looks in Vernon and how it looks in Penticton and what might be working here, there and everywhere,” Christian said. Sinclair, who has sat in numerous youth council meetings in Kamloops, will be a member of a panel looking into engaging youth in local government. Youth council meetings in Kamloops see students representing various local schools receive presentation on city issues, not unlike the way in which city council hears staff presentations and the city collects feedback. City of Kamloops CAO David Trawin sits in on all of those youth council meetings.

“Hearing directly from youth is really powerful,” Sinclair said. The last Kamloops councillor to hold a position with the Southern Interior Local Government Association was the late Marg Spina. Sarai is new to city council, having been elected in last fall’s municipal election. He said it is important that Kamloops continues to have a seat at the board table as the “hub city.” Sarai will also be looking to speak with delegates from Salmon

Arm to discuss how it has rolled out its single-use plastic bag ban and will investigate how other communities manage biosolids. Southern Interior Local Government Association executive director Alison Slater said floods and fires will be at the top of the agenda during the conference. “Basically, how to not respond to the fires and floods, but how do we mitigate things,” Slater said. A late addition to the itinerary is a panel on caribou recovery

and backcountry access. Sessions will also be hosted on responsible tourism, active transportation and accessibility. Speakers include representatives from Trans Mountain Pipeline, FortisBC, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, BC Hydro, BC Lottery Corporation and BC Housing. The association’s directors at large will be announced on the final day of the convention.

ICBC and Insurance Bureau of Canada disagree MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

he Insurance Bureau of Canada’s Pacific vice-president was in Kamloops on Thursday to speak to the local chamber of commerce about privatizing the auto insurance market in B.C. The bureau’s Aaron Sutherland said British Columbians pay up to 60 per cent more for their auto insurance under the Insurance Corporation of B.C.’s monopoly system than do drivers in neighbouring Alberta, who have the option to shop around. “You have to purchase your basic insurance from ICBC and you pay far more because of that,” Sutherland told KTW. The bureau is advocating for private insurance in B.C., and recently released a report stating B.C. drivers pay between 13 to 60 per cent more than Albertans for comparable coverage. The study, produced by business advisory firm MNP, obtained insurance quotes for 15 drivers with the same driving record, using the same vehicle, and purchasing the same coverage levels across provinces — the major difference being the seller in each province, Sutherland said. ICBC DISPUTES REPORT One example showed a middle-aged woman living in Kamloops with one atfault accident paid about $450 more than she would have in Medicine Hat, Alta. “We believe it’s time to open ICBC up, give every consumer the ability to shop around for the best product at the best possible price,” Sutherland said. In response to the report, ICBC has said no private insurer could enter the B.C. market and offer the rates offered in Alberta. “We’ve heard these statements before,” Sutherland said. “If they’re [ICBC] so convinced by that, we believe they should prove it. They should compete for customer’s business.” Sutherland said the public insurer

wouldn’t be opposed to privatization if it was offering as efficient and effective insurance as it could be. Inviting other insurers could bring in expertise from other provinces and help improve the affordability, Sutherland told KTW. A TALE OF TWO MARKETS In B.C. ICBC is responsible for providing mandatory auto insurance, while optional coverage is sold through a network of about 900 brokers. In Alberta, auto insurance is sold through a competitive market, with about 43 companies selling both basic and optional auto insurance. David Eby, B.C.’s attorney general and the minister responsible for ICBC, responded to the report in a Facebook post. He said the Insurance Bureau of Canada has a vested interest in privatizing auto insurance and cited an independent review conducted by the government of Saskatchewan that showed the lowest rates in Canada are offered by provinces with public insurers. A RATE COMPARISON According to lowestrates.ca — an online rate comparison site for insurance, mortgages, loans and credit card rates in Canada — B.C. has the highest average rates, but there are public models cheaper than Alberta. The average rate for insurance in Alberta is $1,251, compared to $1,680 in B.C. In Ontario, which has a private insurance model, the average is $1,445. The public system in Saskatchewan has an average rate of $936, while the public system in Manitoba has an average rate of $1,080, according to the website’s data. Lowestrates.ca also found average auto insurance rates continue to rise in Alberta and Ontario, with Alberta seeing the steepest increase in the country — 11.22 per cent since the first quarter of last year. The average cost of auto insurance is up 9.06 per cent for Ontario drivers over the same time period. “Auto insurance rates have been on

the rise for more than a year now and this happens for a number of reasons that are typically outside of the average driver’s control — more instances of fraud and a greater number of accidents, for example,” said Justin Thouin, cofounder and CEO of lowestrates.ca. “While overall rate increases won’t affect every driver, if you are affected, this is a great opportunity to shop around for more competitive insurance plans.” Sutherland said challenges and cost pressures are being seen in auto insurance across the country, but stressed the fact the highest average premiums in Canada are in B.C. OVERHAUL ON HORIZON “The private insurers who are driving insurance rates into the stratosphere in Alberta and Ontario shouldn’t be coming to our province and telling us how to fix things,” Eby said. He said B.C. is about five years behind a much-needed overhaul of its auto insurance system due to delays from the previous B.C. Liberal government that he said cost the province about $3 billion. According to ICBC, changes enacted on April 1 make medical-care benefits six times that offered in Alberta, while wage-loss benefits are almost double and death benefits triple. The BC Utilities Commission approved ICBC’s request for an interim 6.3 per cent basic insurance rate increase effective April 1— an average increase of close to $60, according to ICBC. Broader structural changes to rates, when added to the basic-rate increase, will see about 25 per cent of customers get a decrease in their basic rate, 42 per end up with an increase of between zero and 6.3 per cent and 33 per cent facing a larger increase.

REGIONAL NEWS

TNRD nixes proposed eco-depot rezoning JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Following opposition from area residents, the ThompsonNicola Regional District board has struck down rezoning of a Boston Flats property near Ashcroft that would have paved way for a new eco-depot. “We won,” Boston Flats resident Carmen Jacobsen told KTW. Residents filled half the gallery during last week’s meeting, oneby-one expressing to the board concerns over smell, dust, traffic and impacts on water and property values. Up to 130 signatures were inked on a petition opposing the ecodepot and residents were also irked by a lack of public consultation. “I’ve already gone through the fires, gone through the floods. What am I going to have to go through now?” Jacobsen asked the board, encouraging directors to visit her home and see damage to her property. The eight-hectare property off of Highway 97C, which is not yet owned by the TNRD, was determined to be ideal due its access off the highway. Only three hectares needed to be rezoned from rural to civic works and the Ministry

of Transportation operates a gravel pit next door. The rezoning was required as part of the sale of the property to the regional district. The location is across the highway from the former Cache Creek landfill, which closed in 2016 and is now the area’s temporary eco-depot. The TNRD took over that facility’s transfer station to temporarily operate it on the landfill footprint. Municipal recycling depots closed in Ashcroft and Cache Creek in 2018 and the board heard a longterm location is needed for residents and businesses. TNRD environmental services manager Jamie Vieira explained eco-depots are different from landfills. Eco-depots are container-style sites used to drop off garbage and recycling, acting as a temporary collection point before they are transported to their final destination. In making the case for the proposed permanent location, Vieira said staff would be on site to pick up litter and he expected no discharge into water, no dust and no odour. He added that letters were mailed beyond the required 100 metres to residents affected in the area.

International nod for TOTA The Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association (TOTA) has been named Tourism Laureate and winner of the International Place Marketing Award at the Place Marketing Forum in Lille, France, for its leadership work in Sustainable Responsible Tourism. The awards “recognize the most emblematic achievements of place marketing worldwide” and projects are selected based on the following criteria: • Innovation or idea bringing a major improvement in one or more areas; • Remarkable results with unquestionable qualitative and quantitative results; • Emblematic projects practice or realization that is emblematic of current trends and new practices in place marketing. The forum is an annual event organized by the Public Management Institute (Aix-Marseille University) that brings together international leaders, elected officials, and decision-makers to exchange best practices in destination marketing around the globe.

Vieira told KTW residents in Ashcroft and Cache Creek have been asking for a more

convenient eco-depot location, as opposed to the temporary site at the former Cache Creek

landfill, which is located off a logging road. The board rejection leaves the future of

an area eco-depot in limbo. Further public consultation is expected.

In the meantime, the temporary ecostation will remain open.

Valleyview corridor and various on- and off-ramps are being resurfaced, according to the Ministry of Transportation. Already underway elsewhere in the province is a $4-million resurfacing of Highway 3 between Saturday Creek and Whipsaw Creek Bridge, includes 13 kilometres of resurfacing in three sections. Work on this project is expected to be completed in early July 2019. During resurfacing projects, drivers can expect minor delays and, at times, singlelane alternating traffic. The ministry is reminding motorists to slow down, obey traffic control personnel and check DriveBC.ca for the most up-to-date highway information. Other resurfacing projects earmarked for 2019 include: • Highway 97C, resurfacing from Lower Nicola to Logan Lake and Tunkwa Lake Road between Savona and Tunkwa Lake (67 kilometres); • Highway 97, intermittent hot-inplace asphalt recycling from Loon Lake Road to Clinton and from Lovett Road to Wright Station (39 kilometres); • Highway 97, intermittent resurfacing from Clinton to Lac La Hache and side roads (30 kilometres); • Highway 1, resurfacing two sections from Annis Pit to Malakwa near Sicamous (34 kilometres); • Side roads near Salmon Arm, numerous side roads west of Highway 1 and east of Highway 97, including Salmon Valley Road, McTavish Road, Yankee Flats

Road and Haywood Armstrong Road; • Highway 1 near Revelstoke, from Revelstoke Park East Gate to Glacier Park West Gate, resurfacing 20 kilometres of Highway 1; • Highway 3, sealcoating between Stirling Creek Bridge and Riverside RV Park, and Sunday Summit area near Princeton (26 kilometres); • Highway 24, sealcoating from the Highway 97 Junction to Lone Butte and side roads near 100 Mile House (47 kilometres); • Highway 31 in and around Kaslo, between Ainsworth and Lost Ledge, resurfacing and base repairs to approximately 59 kilometres of Highway 31; • Highway 97 near Quesnel, hot-in-place asphalt recycling 13 kilometres of Highway 97 between the Highway 26 junction and Cottonwood River Bridge; • Highway 3 and Highway 395, hot-inplace asphalt recycling in Christina Lake and Cascade Falls areas near Grand Forks (29 kilometres). The province is also ramping up line paving on B.C. highways. More favourable weather conditions meant he first lines were painted on the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island, but this week line paving is taking place in all regions, including Highway 1 in the Salmon Arm and Cache Creek areas and Highway 6 near Nakusp. There are five pavement marking service areas in the province: Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland, Thompson-Cariboo, Okanagan-Kootenay and the North.

Stamped in history The legendary Vancouver Asahi baseball team has been immortalized by Canada Post with a stamp that honours the team and tells a story about overt racism and fear — and one of adversity, determination and fortitude. Formed in 1914, the Asahi thrilled fans and filled JapaneseCanadians with hope over almost three decades of play on Vancouver’s east side. The team won many senior league championships before being forced to disband shortly after Canada declared war on Japan in 1941. During the Second World War, Canada interned more than 20,000 people of Japanese descent, most of them Canadian citizens. The Asahi developed a unique style of play to compete against bigger, more powerful teams. Dubbed “brain ball,” it involved bunts, base stealing and squeeze plays to score runs — and wins. Their style of play was so successful that, in 1927, the team won a game 3-1 without technically collecting a hit. The Asahi grew to near mythic proportions within the Japanese-Canadian community;

most boys in Vancouver’s “Little Tokyo” dreamed of playing for the team. Kamloops resident Kaye Kaminishi, a third baseman and the last surviving member of the Asahi, helped unveil the stamp at Burnaby’s Nikkei National Museum & Cultural Centre. The 97-yearold Kaminishi was joined by players from the Asahi Baseball Association, which was inspired by the original team. The Asahi story is also the subject of a Heritage Minutes television short, narrated by Kaminishi. “We were born in Canada,” he says in the commercial, which was produced by Historica Canada. “We spoke English. On the streets we weren’t welcome, but on the field, we were the Asahi, Vancouver’s champions. Everyone cheered for us. Our people had a voice.”

In the summer of 2015, Kaminishi visited the current Asahi youth teams, which were playing on McArthur Island. “If you wore the Asahi uniform, you were a king,” Kaminishi told KTW as he walked across McArthur Island. On that day, the club presented him with an Asahi hat and sweater with No. 11 — Kaminishi’s number — emblazoned on the back as the Asahi officially retired it from uniform circulation.

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

A Valleyview secondary student is one of five youth across Canada to win a $25,000 STEAM Horizon scholarship — a prize that will help pay for his post-secondary education. Jonah Saemerow was at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum in Ottawa on Thursday to receive the prize, which he won for his passion to help ensure Canada’s northern communities no longer have to rely on diesel generators for power. The Grade 12 student’s application for the scholarship outlined his plan to become an electrical engineer, introduce these communities to renewable energy and then connect them to the grid. “Diesel generators are bad for the environment and unreliable — often schools cannot open when power is interrupted,” Saemerow said. “School is a right and, without access to education, students lose important opportunities.” A member of Métis Nation British Columbia, Jonah was born in Vancouver and raised in Kamloops. He heard about the opportunity from his dad, who found it online, and was the only recipient from Western Canada. “To apply, you had to think of an idea, write a few essays and make a video,” said Saemerow, who volunteers with a community kitchen, takes part in cancer fundraisers and coaches hockey. After graduation, Saemerow plans to attend Thompson Rivers University for his first year of engineering school before moving to the University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University or the University of Victoria.

Jonah Saemerow’s $25,000 STEAM Horizon scholarship will help fund his education. The Grade 12 Valleyview student plans to become an electrical engineer.

His long-term plan is to pursue the field of clean energy, with a focus on remote, off-the-grid communities. Diesel is the main source of electricity for more than 200 remote communities in Canada, including every Inuit community in both Nunavut and the Northwest Territories. About five years ago, the World Health Organization labelled diesel carcinogenic and found it also can cause respiratory and cardiovascular illnesses, affect the immune system and cause reproductive problems and developmental delays. In Canada, diesel-powered vehicles are the main source of black carbon, which is 3,200 times more potent than carbon dioxide as an environmental warming agent. Diesel-powered electricity generators

are not a huge component of Canada’s overall black carbon emissions, but they are significant in the North, operating 24 hours a day for off-grid electricity generation, often in close proximity to homes and schools, impacting local air quality. Eligible recipients of the STEAM Award must be between the ages 16 and 18, maintain a minimum grade point average of 85 per cent and be enrolled or plan to enrol in their first-year of post-secondary education in a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) field in Canada. They are described as having excellent communication skills, have an interest in using technology to solve real-world problems and have achievements in the fields of science, technology, engineering, arts and math.

Researchers to spice up battle against ants JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Ideas to fend off the European fire ant, an invasive ant identified in B.C. in recent years, are heating up — from warming nests to wasabi repellant. Fire ants, which have the ability to render gardens, yards, fields and golf courses unusable due to the sting of the red critters, have colonies in certain areas of the province, including Chilliwack, Naramata and on Vancouver Island. Fire ants have so far not been found in Kamloops. Thompson Rivers University professor and entomologist Robert Higgins, however, has

been working to tackle the issue. This summer, he will be testing a new approach to dealing with the ants, driving heated air into the nests. Hot water has been tried in

the past but colony tunnels collapsed, as a result. “It is a new approach for dealing with ants,” Higgins said, noting he is not aware of anyone else using the hot air method.

One other method for dealing with fire ants has popped up in Asia. Japanese researchers are lacing ant traps with the organic component that causes the pungency in wasabi, horseradish and mustard, called allyl isothicyanite, and have found that it keeps fire ants away. Higgins said that the hope is to utilize such repellant in shipping

containers to prevent the further transport of the critters. Invasive species are introduced by people in places out of their natural range, meaning they are without natural predators that would otherwise keep their populations in check. Higgins said the wasabi research has yet to be scaled up and will come down to a balance of the right product and cost. Other repellents include spearmint and peppermint. Higgins said that while people complain about ants in the garden, native species are important for overall ecology, with ants effective, for example, at killing garden pests. Eliminating native ants opens up properties to invasive species.

Suspects caught after fleeing, police say KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Two men are in custody after allegedly Local Crime fleeing from Kamloops Mounties early Thursday morning. RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said an officer saw vehicle being driven erratically and speeding in the area of Highland Drive just after 4:30 a.m. She said the officer turned on his emergency lights in an attempt to pull the vehicle over, but the driver of the vehicle sped away. “The officer immediately pulled over to the side of the road and stopped,” Shelkie said. “The suspect vehicle continued speeding on the frontage road near Oriole Drive when it hit a cement barrier.” Shelkie said police found one man in the vehicle and a second man near the scene of the crash after running from the vehicle. Both were taken to Royal Inland Hospital for assessment, though Shelkie said neither appeared to be injured. Both suspects are 32 years old. One is from Enderby and had a warrant for his arrest for assault. The other suspect is from Falkland and is also known to police. Charges against both men are pending, Shelkie said. Police are asking anyone who witnessed the crash to call 250-828-3000.

BRIEFS

Paramedics allegedly assaulted A 54-year-old man is in custody after allegedly assaulting three paramedics at Royal Inland Hospital on Wednesday night. Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Edward Preto said police were called to the hospital just before 7:30 p.m. after receiving a report of an intoxicated man who was assaulting three BC Ambulance paramedics. Preto said paramedics had transported the man to the hospital from a location on the North Shore for medical treatment. “At the hospital, the male became angry with the paramedics and began to kick and punch them,” Preto said, noting the man was restrained by hospital security officers until multiple RCMP units arrived. “The male has since been released from hospital and is in police custody,” Preto said. The investigation is ongoing.

Accused robber set to appear in court A Kamloops man accused in a string of retail robberies earlier this month is slated to apply for bail on Friday, court documents show. Ian Stefan McPherson is facing four counts of robbery for alleged instances spanning two days. McPherson is accused of holding up four Kamloops stores over a two-day span on April 14 and April 15. He has been in custody since his arrest earlier this month.

Youths prompt Chase police response A potentially serious weapons call in Chase earlier this month turned out to be a pair of young men playing with toy guns, police say. Chase RCMP Cpl. Scott Linklater said Mounties were called to the area of Art Holding Memorial Arena over the noon hour on April 13 for a pair of men brandishing firearms in a vehicle. “Police responded to find two youths had just purchased cap guns and were eager to try them,” Linklater said.

Police urge caution after multiple muggings in area of TRU campus TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Police are recommending people not walk alone at night after a string of recent muggings in the area surrounding Thompson Rivers University and the West End. At about 1 a.m. on April 14, police have said, a man was held up by three men — one armed with a handgun — on the campus of TRU. Four days earlier, at about 6:20 a.m., two men with a gun

are alleged to have robbed a man on Strathcona Trail in the West End. A second TRU mugging is alleged to have taken place on the afternoon of March 11, when a man told police he was robbed by an assailant armed with a knife. “While there is no evidence linking these three incidents, we are alive to the possibility that it could be the same suspects,” RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie told KTW. “Although, each robbery occurred at different times and only two occurred at

TRU and each robbery had a different number of suspects.” Shelkie stopped short of saying a serial mugger is at work but said members of the public should exercise caution. “RCMP recommend that people don’t walk alone at night,” she said. “RCMP recommend that the public is always aware of their surroundings and report anything suspicious.” According to Shelkie, no suspects have been identified and no similar robberies are under investigation.

Cathy McLeod says she doesn’t plan to change her campaign strategy given news this week former Kamloops mayor and B.C. health minister Terry Lake will likely run under the Liberal banner. McLeod is a three-time Conservative MP in the KamloopsThompson-Cariboo riding. Lake will seek the federal Liberal nomination — what would be his first

tice system, McLeod said, noting she believes Canadians cannot afford another four years of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government. “Any Liberal candidate has, what I consider, a very, very poor record in many areas of the threeand-a-half years of Trudeau,” McLeod said. “I don’t think our international relations have ever been this bad, our interprovincial relations have ever been this bad, the reckless spending … debt he promised wouldn’t be there, so I think he

has a lot to answer for.” McLeod said she is hopeful people who “left the Conservative fold” in the last election will be “confident and comfortable to come back,” noting she has heard from people disappointed with the current government after voting Liberal in 2015. Lake expects the local riding association to hold its nomination meeting within 45 days. Lake said he is running as he is concerned a Conservative government in Ottawa will unravel progress he has seen the Liberals make

The B.C. Lottery Corporation’s chief financial officer, Amanda Hobson, is leaving the agency to join Finning International as senior vice-president of investor relations and treasury. BCLC will begin recruitment shortly for the chief financial officer position, with the role remaining in Kamloops at BCLC’s head office downtown. “I want to thank Amanda for her many contributions over her tenure at BCLC, including the last four years as CFO,” said Jim Lightbody, president and CEO of BCLC. “Amanda’s leadership extended beyond her title at BCLC as a member of the board of the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation and supporter of the Kamloops Food Bank.” Hobson joined BCLC in 2013 and was instrumental in helping establish strong financial planning and analysis and business practices at the corporation. Last year, Hobson was named one of the Top 100 Most Powerful Women in Canada by the Women’s Executive Network, a recognition that pays tribute to those who have advocated for diversity in the workforce and who serve as an inspiration for the next generation of leaders.

COMMUNITY

Tax time tips as 2018 filing deadline looms Keep all of your documents in case the CRA asks to see them later. Some income you earn may not be included as part of a tax slip. Tips, money earned providing accommodations or ride sharing, regularly selling stuff at a flea market or online, providing tutoring services, handy-man or snow removal services — all of this is considered income that must be reported. 4. Make valid claims: Make sure you know what you can and cannot claim. Sometimes non-deductible amounts, such as funeral expenses, wedding expenses, loans to family members, a loss on the sale of a home used primarily as a residence, and other similar amounts, are claimed by mistake. If the CRA finds that you made a mistake or made a claim in error, they will change your return. For a list of the most frequent changes the CRA makes, see common adjustments. 5. Take advantage of free tax software: Did you know there are free certified software programs that you can use to do your taxes online? Last year, about 90 per cent of Canadians filed their returns online.

Some of these software programs will give you suggestions on which tax credits and deductions you can claim and which benefits and credits you can apply for, based on the information you enter. If you are fully registered for My Account, you can use Autofill My Return to automatically fill in parts of your current and prior-year income tax and benefit returns, making filing even simpler. You will also be able to use the Express NOA service to get your notice of assessment right after you file your return. 6. Get free tax help: If you have a modest income and a simple tax situation, a volunteer from the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program may be able to do your taxes for you, for free. Find a tax preparation clinic near you or learn more at canada.ca/taxes-help. You can also find a tax preparation clinic using the MyCRA mobile web app. 7. File and pay on time: If you have a balance owing and do not file your return on time, the CRA will charge you a late-filing penalty. The penalty is five per cent of your balance owing on the due

date of your return, plus one per cent of your balance owing for each full month your return is late, to a maximum of 12 months. Even if you cannot pay your balance owing by the filing deadline, you can avoid the late-filing penalty by filing on time. If you cannot pay the amount you owe by the due date, it’s best to contact the CRA before then. If you receive benefit payments, like the Canada child benefit, and you did not file your tax return on time, your payments can be delayed or stopped. If you have never filed a return or haven’t filed for a few years, the CRA can help. You may be eligible for relief of interest, penalties, and prosecution by applying to the Voluntary Disclosures Program. 8. Keep receipts and records: Keep your receipts and other supporting documents for at least six years from the end of the tax year to which the records relate. Sometimes returns are reviewed to make sure that income, deductions and credits are correctly reported. If the CRA reviews your return, having your receipts and records on hand makes it easier for you to support your claims.

Getting ready to do your 2018 taxes? The Canada Revenue Agency has a few tips that could save you time and money as the April 30 deadline approaches. At tax time, here are eight things to remember: 1. File your tax return: Most Canadian income tax and benefit returns for the 2018 tax year are due on April 30. It’s important to file your tax return on time to avoid interest and penalty charges, and possible delays or interruptions in your benefit and credit payments. Even if you didn’t receive any income this year, you may still get a tax refund and be eligible for benefit and credit payments. For example, families who are eligible for the Canada child benefit can receive up to $6,639 annually for each child under the age of 6 and up to $5,602 annually for each child aged 6 to 17. If you have a spouse or common-law partner, they also have to file their tax returns every year. The CRA uses the information from your income tax and benefit return to calculate your benefit and credit payments, and any related provincial or territorial payments for which

PROVINCIAL NEWS

Canfor temporarily shuttering a dozen sawmills across B.C. Only one Canfor mill — WynnWood, near Creston — will remain operational PRINCE GEORGE — Canfor has announced it will be temporarily closing down operations at almost all of its B.C. mills. The company said in a news release Wednesday it will be shutting down operations for one week starting April 29. WynnWood mill outside of Creston will be the only facility of 13 to remain open. Canfor cited low lumber prices and the high cost of fibre for the cause in having to curtail operations, which will impact 2,000 hourly employees. “We regret the impact the curtailments will have on our employees, their families

and their communities. We appreciate the hard work of our employees and contractors across all our operations,” said Michelle Ward, Canfor’s director of corporate communications. This is the fourth curtailment that has been announced by Canfor since November of last year. Local 1-2017 President Brian O’Rourke said the union doesn’t feel good about the news. “We heard today that they are going to be curtailing all their operations in B.C. and they are citing low lumber prices and high logging costs. They will be curtailing for one week,” he said.

Surrey man arrested in hate probe

BC SPCA searches for person who left day old kittens in Vancouver dumpster

CANADIAN PRESS

SURREY — Mounties in Surrey say a man has been arrested as they investigate an allegation that a hateful message was posted on social media. A news release from police said the probe began April 21 following a complaint about an online message referencing the Surrey Vaisakhi parade. A 46-year-old Surrey man was taken into custody Wednesday, accused of public incitement of hatred. Cpl. Elenore Sturko said the man remains in custody and anyone with information about the allegations should contact the Surrey detachment. Police also said the incident offers an opportunity to encourage everyone to become familiar with Canada’s laws prohibiting hate propaganda in the Criminal Code.

VANCOUVER — Two day-old kittens have died in Vancouver and the BC SPCA hopes someone can identify the person who placed them in a plastic bag and threw it into a dumpster. The society’s senior animal protection officer, Eileen Drever, said the kittens were discovered Friday in a dumpster inside a secured parking area of a building in the city’s West End. She said a passerby heard sounds coming from the receptacle and found the newborn animals. The dehydrated and hypothermic kittens were rushed to an emergency clinic for treatment, but both have since died. Drever said the case is heartbreaking and urges anyone with information about the case to contact the society. “We urge anyone who cannot take care

He added that previous curtailments by Canfor in December were all due to fibre and lumber costs, as well.

First Nations claim Lake Huron, Georgian Bay COLIN PERKEL

CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — A broken Crown promise to forever protect Aboriginal lands is at the heart of a novel Indigenous claim to the waters of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay, an Ontario court heard Thursday. The two First Nations groups who make up the Saugeen Ojibway Nation — or SON — say their traditional territory includes what is now the Bruce Peninsula and lands south stretching from

Seller of second THC test wants in Canada CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The company behind the second machine that could be approved for roadside drug tests in Canada says its product is faster and easier to use for police wary about the technology. Six months after the federal government legalized cannabis for recreational use, officers have expressed wariness about the one testing machine currently approved, called the Drager DrugTest 5000, and how its results might hold up in court. In an interview, two officials from the company Abbott said their testing device, the “SoToxa,’’ has shown it can accurately use a saliva sample to test for drugs in a person’s system within five minutes and work in cold weather. They stressed the device is an optional tool for police forces to use if they want to test for THC, the main psychoactive ingredient in cannabis, before officers go through additional steps required to charge someone under Canada’s drug-impaired driving law. The handheld device is now in a 30-day public review window.

Goderich, Ont., to Collingwood, Ont. The territory, they assert, includes much of the waters of Georgian Bay and Lake Huron. “They say they have a relationship with their territory for a thousand years,’’ SON lawyer Roger Townshend said in opening comments. “The issues before this court are about the relationship — historical and continued — that SON has to these lands and waters.’’ The promise SON claims was broken came by way of a treaty in 1836, as European settlers arrived

in increasingly large numbers. Under Treaty 45-1/2, SON gave up 600,000 hectares of prime agricultural land south of Owen Sound, Ont. In return, SON asserts, the Crown promised to protect their interest in the Bruce Peninsula “forever.’’ “The promise made and understood was to protect SON’s unique and special interests in its territory,’’ SON lawyer Cathy Guirguis said. “The king would ensure no one stole the lands in question.’’ However, just 18 years later in

1854 under Treaty 72, the Crown demanded surrender of the peninsula, Guirguis told Justice Wendy Matheson in a Toronto courtroom packed with Indigenous spectators and supporters on Thursday. Indigenous people, she said, had gone from being allies to “obstacles to settlement.’’ SON wants the court to recognize Aboriginal title to the offshore waters. It also wants the return of peninsula lands still owned by Canada or Ontario or otherwise not privately owned. Any compensation will be dealt

with at a later phase of the trial. For their parts, the two governments maintain they have dealt with the First Nations fairly, have lived up to their treaty obligations, and deny Aboriginal title to the lands or waters exist. They want the claims thrown out. Speaking for the federal government, lawyer Michael Beggs said in his brief opening that the case was not about “what happened 9,000 years ago.’’ Nevertheless, he urged the court to keep the historical context firmly in mind.

3 Reasons to Take Vitamin C and Lysine Now! W. GIFFORD-JONES, MD

1. Immune Health

This is a no-brainer – Vitamin C supports a healthy immune system which is essential in cold and flu season. Vitamin C and frequent hand-washing are two of the easiest steps to take for staying healthy.

2. Collagen Formation for Heart Health and more…

Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. A lack of vitamin C and lysine results in poor collagen and weak arteries. Coronary arteries are under more pressure than any other artery in the body. Without sufficient vitamin C and lysine the constant pounding causes minute cracks in collagen, contributing to atherosclerosis, blood clots or rupturing of a weakened artery, resulting in a stroke. Collagen keeps gums and cartilage healthy too – reducing tooth loss and painful joints. If that’s not enough, all the beauty experts will also tell you collagen helps keep skin looking youthful.

3. Wound Healing, Cold Sores, Shingles

The essential amino acid lysine is probably best known for its use in those with herpes simplex infections. It helps reduce the severity and duration of cold sores, and combined with vitamin C promotes wound healing and helps fight shingles infections.

To maintain optimal health and improve your chances of reaching 90+, I recommend Medi-C Plus® with high dose vitamin C and lysine – just mix with your morning juice. I started taking high dose vitamin C and lysine after my heart attack 20 years ago: I still enjoy travelling, writing my columns and I also rappelled down Toronto City Hall to help raise funds for Make-A-Wish® Canada. I turned 95 this year - not bad!

Disappearance of woman, girl treated as murders, police say CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — Police in Calgary say they’re treating the disappearance last week of a woman and toddler as potential homicides. They said they have found no evidence that 25-year-old Jasmine Lovett or her 22-month-old daughter Aliyah Sanderson are alive. Police said the last time they were seen was in the suburban Calgary community of Cranston sometime

on the evening of April 16. The last activity on the mother’s financial accounts was two days later. Police said they have a suspect in custody. They said they don’t believe it’s random because the suspect and the missing females knew each other. Investigators are searching Cranston and the area surrounding the hamlet of Bragg Creek west of Calgary for evidence.

Trudeau says provinces ‘irresponsible’ for potentially challenging carbon tax CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Ontario and other provinces trying to block the federal carbon tax are shortsighted and irresponsible. Trudeau gave a speech to an environmental conference in Montreal on Thursday during which he slammed Ontario’s constitutional challenge to the federal Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act. Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Ontario and New Brunswick are all either challenging the carbon tax in court or have signalled an intent to do so.

Following Trudeau’s brief address, he was met on stage by high-profile Quebec environmentalist Steven Guilbeault for an armchair discussion. Guilbeault, who is currently advising the federal government on ways to address climate change, steered clear of contentious issues in his questions. The ecologist has acknowledged he is being courted by the Liberals to run for the party in the October federal election. He told reporters he has been approached by more than one political party and hasn’t decided whether to run for office.

A funeral in Ireland as terrorist attacks return

n Wednesday, the Taoiseach (prime minister) of the Republic of Ireland, Leo Varadkar, and Prime Minister Theresa May of the United Kingdom both showed up in Belfast, Northern Ireland, to attend the funeral of a young woman named Lyra McKee. So did the president of the Irish Republic, Michael Higgins, and U.K. opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn. It’s quite possible none of them had even heard of her a week ago. McKee was a promising young journalist, already well known in the small world of Northern Ireland for her political journalism and LGBT activism. She was killed a week ago by a New IRA terrorist while covering a riot in Derry, the British province’s second city. It was a mistake, of course, as the terrorist was probably trying to kill one of the police officers who were standing nearby. The funeral was held in Belfast’s main Protestant cathedral, St. Anne’s, although McKee had grown up Catholic. Both Catholic and Protestant clergy conducted the funeral service in a joint rejection

GWYNNE DYER World

WATCH of the sectarian violence that is creeping out into the open again in Northern Ireland. That is also why the prime ministers and other high dignitaries were there, but it may be too late. McKee described herself as a “ceasefire baby.” She was only eight years old when the Good Friday Agreement was signed in 1998, ending 30 years of The Troubles, a terrorist civil war between Protestant and Catholic extremists that killed more than 3,000 people in a province whose population is less than two million. But the war wasn’t actually about religion. The Protestants were loyal to Britain (and resentful about losing the absolute dominance they once enjoyed in Northern Ireland). The Catholics were nationalists who looked

forward to the day they would be the majority in Northern Ireland (thanks to a higher birth rate), and then to the great day when all of Ireland would be united and the “Prods” of the North reduced to a tiny and helpless minority. They fought each other to a standstill and, in 1998, they signed the Good Friday Agreement, which created a powersharing government in Northern Ireland and put an end to the killing. Most people realized it was a truce, not a final peace settlement, but many hoped that given enough time, it could grow into something more. Generational turnover has solved a lot of the world’s problems. In the meantime, the deal allowed a generation of young people like McKee to grow up in a relatively peaceful place. It might still be a place with a hopeful future today if the English had not voted to leave the European Union three years ago in the Brexit referendum. (I say “English” deliberately because both the Scots and the Northern Irish voted for the United Kingdom to stay in the EU.) The problem with

Priest pleads non-violence JILL LAWLESS

ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON — The killing of journalist Lyra McKee must be a turning point for Northern Ireland, a priest said Wednesday at a funeral service attended by British and Irish leaders alongside mourners in superhero T-shirts and colorful Harry Potter scarves. U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May, Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar and Ireland’s President, Michael D. Higgins, were among hundreds of people celebrating the life of McKee, who was shot dead by paramilitary gunfire last week. She was the first journalist killed on the job in the U.K. in almost 20 years and her death caused wide shock in a region still shaken by tremors from decades of violence. Some of McKee’s family and friends wore Harry Potter and Marvel Comics items in tribute to her love of

those fictional worlds. McKee, 29, was killed on April 18 as she covered anti-police rioting in the city of Londonderry, also known as Derry. A small Irish nationalist militant group, the New IRA, said it was responsible. In his homily, Father Martin Magill said McKee’s death should be “the doorway to a new beginning’’ for Northern Ireland. He praised the united response of politicians, but asked: “Why in God’s name does it take the death of a 29-year-old woman with her whole life in front of her to get to this point?’” as mourners rose to their feet to applaud. “To those who had any part in her murder, I encourage you to reflect on Lyra McKee, journalist and writer, as a powerful example of ‘The pen is mightier than the sword,’’’ Magill said. “I plead with you to take the road of non-violence to achieve your political ends.’’

Brexit is that the Good Friday Deal depends on a completely open border between Northern Ireland and the Republic. In fact, it is an invisible border, with no police, no checkpoints and little visual evidence that it even exists. That, plus the right to have an Irish passport instead of a British one if they chose, was what persuaded the North’s Catholic nationalists to settle for a draw in the war. Everybody in Ireland saw the problem with Brexit: if the U.K. withdraws fully from the EU — no customs union, no single market — then the “hard” border will have to re-appear in Ireland.

The more extreme nationalists will see that as a betrayal and the guns will again come out. But the insular idiots promoting Brexit in England weren’t even aware of the problem. They’re aware of it now. The Republic of Ireland remains a member of the EU and it got the other members to insist that protecting the “soft” border must be part of the British withdrawal agreement. Last November May signed that agreement, which says all of the United Kingdom must stay in the customs union until some U.K.-EU trade agreement is signed that still allows free movement

of goods and people across an invisible border. That could be a long time from now, or even never, in which case the U.K. never really leaves the EU. It just loses any say in the EU’s policies. So the outraged British parliament has spent the last two months rejecting not only the withdrawal agreement May signed, but every other proposal for leaving (or staying) that has been put before it. It is pathetic, really. Meanwhile, the first terrorist attacks are getting started again in Northern Ireland. The dissidents who formed the Real IRA in 2012 are nationalists who never

accepted the truce. They have been waiting for an opportunity to re-open the revolutionary liberation war they imagine was betrayed by the Good Friday Agreement — and Brexit is giving it to them. There was a car bomb outside the courthouse in Derry in January and, last week, the New IRA tried to kill a police officer and shot McKee instead. As Will Francis, her literary agent, said, quoting William Faulkner: “The past isn’t dead.

‘IT ALL REALLY DOES CULMINATE AT NATIONALS’ MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Annalisa Bynoe has been slaving over her twister. “It’s kind of like an aerial, which is a cartwheel with no hands,” the 11-year-old Riptech Diving athlete explained on Thursday at the Tournament Capital Centre. “You have to do that off the board and land with your hands by your side and it’s hard not to over-rotate. You can slap your back on the water. But that’s part of the sport — you just have to get back up and do it again.” The Parkcrest elementary student and her teammates have been doing it over — and over, and over, and over — again all season, trying and failing and try-

ing again, determined to be ready for this weekend’s big event, the Canadian Novice Diving National Championships. Eleven Riptech products qualified for nationals, nine of whom will attend the event, which will run on Saturday and Sunday at the Canada Games Aquatic Centre. The novice division is the second-highest in the country, a step down from the development stream and one up from recreational. Athletes ages 18 and under from as far east as Winnipeg will participate this weekend, with about 90 divers expected to pierce water. Sawyer Niedziejko, 10, is the most advanced Riptech diver, one score away from qualifying for the Junior Development National

Championships, which will run from July 18 to July 21 in Regina. “I quit other sports for this because it’s the best sport I’ve ever had. It’s super fun and I honestly couldn’t imagine what life would be like without it,” said Niedziejko, who received the 2018 BC Diving Top Athlete Award for men’s Group E (seven- and eight-yearold) athletes. “It’s surprised me. It’s taken over my life. I honestly have nothing else I do, no other sports, nothing.” Bynoe and Niedziejko were among the Riptech group dryland training in the Kamloops Gymnastics and Trampoline Centre on Thursday, led by coach Eryn Bulmer Barrett, a two-time Olympian diver.

WolfPack chasing No. 1 seed for nationals MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Beware the Two Tylers. The TRU WolfPack, all of a sudden on the home stretch of a short Canadian College Baseball Conference schedule, seem to have a well-rounded team, but have been paced by a pair of pitchers — Tyler Hodder of Fort McMurray and Tyler Moskalyk of Thunder Bay. Moskalyk (4-1) leads the league with 52 strikeouts and a 1.06 ERA, while Hodder (5-0) is tied for tops in the CCBC with five wins, sixth in strikeouts (33) and fifth in ERA (1.65). TRU (16-5) sits second in league

standings, a half-game back of the defending national champions, the Okanagan College Coyotes of Kelowna, who are 17-5.

“We’ve pitched it well, especially with those two guys at the top,” said WolfPack head coach Ray Chadwick, who has

been in charge since 2003. “We’ve swung the bats well. Liam [Rihela] is near the top of the league in hitting and RBI. [Adam] Filmon is

hitting over .300. [Liam] Shibata, [Malik] James and [Taylor] Van Ham are all close to .300 and, this year, I think we’ve played the best defence as a team since we won it [nationals] back in 2009.” The Pack have six games remaining on their schedule, with a pair of doubleheaders scheduled for this weekend against the Vancouver Island University Mariners (6-12) in Nanaimo. Strong results against the Mariners would set up a doubleheader that could decide the regularseason title and have national championship implications.

Okanagan College will be in town on Wednesday, with game times slated for 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. at Norbrock Stadium. The national championship is effectively a league championship, as it will feature the CCBC’s seven teams — Okanagan College, TRU, Fraser Valley (118) of Abbotsford, Prairie Baseball Academy (7-11) of Lethbridge, Vancouver Island, Edmonton Collegiate (6-11) and University of Calgary (3-14). Claiming the regular-season crown is great for pride, but it also comes along with a first-round bye at nationals, a doubleelimination tournament that will run from May 8 to May 12 at Norbrock. “It’s a huge advantage,”Chadwick said. “You get to keep an extra arm in the rotation somewhere.” Connor McKenzie enjoyed a clutch moment against fellow Kamloops Minor Baseball Association product Riley Jepson and the Fraser Valley Cascades last weekend, belting a two-out, tworun home run in the bottom of the ninth to lift the Pack to a 10-8 victory. “It was a pretty good one compared

to the rest of the day,” McKenzie told TRU Sports Information. “I went into that at bat 0-for-2. It was nice to get on the board and get us the victory.” Jepson, who will play NCAA Div-II baseball next season for University of Texas at Tyler, is near the top of the CCBC in a few batting categories. He is second in batting average (.390), tied for second in homers (five) and sixth in RBI (17) after 19 games. Okanagan College in 2018 ended PBA’s seven-year run as national champions, edging Jepson and Fraser Valley 10-9 in a dramatic gold-medal game at Norbrock. The Pack are a decade removed from claiming their mostrecent CCBC banner, but have come close in recent years, reaching the final in 2014 and 2017. Earning the top seed this year wouldn’t hurt their chances of ending the drought. “Hopefully, we can get on a six-game win streak,” said Chadwick, who led TRU to national titles in 2005, 2007 and 2009. “Those two games on Wednesday will probably determine the regular-season champion.”

Kamloops brass responds to national sports-hosting-cities rankings that place Tournament Capital behind Kelowna MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Sean Smith fought back with all the vigour of a city man who has to watch his tongue, which seemed firmly planted in cheek during some parts of an interview about the 2019 Global Sports Impact Canada Index. “You know, for some reason, we didn’t even get the opportunity to submit our information to this particular intake,” said Smith, business operations and events supervisor for the City of Kamloops. “It’s worth checking with our IT department to make sure we’re not blocking their alerts.” Ottawa-based Canadian Sport Tourism Alliance (CSTA) developed the index in 2018 in partnership with Sportcal, the United Kingdombased publisher of the annual sports-market report. Rick Traer, CEO of CSTA, said the index ranks Canadian cities hosting national championships and international events through data-driven assessment and provides an independent analysis from internationally recognized experts in the field. Kamloops ranked 53rd overall in the nation and, perhaps more alarmingly for the Tournament Capital of Canada, 14th among cities with populations between 50,000 and 150,000, a bracket topped by none other than Kelowna, a sworn rival a few clicks down the road. Rankings were based on national championships and international events hosted in 2018 and awarded for 2019. Kamloops is listed as having three national championships and zero international events, while Kelowna, pegged 15th overall in Canada, has eight events in both the national and international categories. Information for the index was submitted by members of CSTA

through an online worksheet, which was analyzed independently by Sportcal. Smith said neither he nor anyone else from the city was given the chance to offer input for the worksheet. “I honestly don’t know which events their numbers are referring to, so I can’t say for sure what they’re basing our ranking on,” Smith said. “I know we have recurring national and international events that are also not considered in this kind of survey. It says for events that are held year after year, they only give the one year of credit for it. “I can’t say which events they are considering to be national or international. I don’t know about the Kamloops International Bantam Ice Hockey Tournament, which has been running for over 50 years, or the Kamloops International Baseball Tournament that’s also about 50 years running.” Smith has followed up with the CSTA. “I don’t recall receiving this survey,” Smith said. “I don’t know if it was filtered out of my email or if something happened in transmission. “I don’t know if it would have put us up against Kelowna. I’m not saying we would have been No. 1. I just don’t know where we would have landed had we had the opportunity to be part of it.” Smith said Kamloops hosts an average of about 110 sporting events per year, with about 30,000 people coming to town

to participate and contribute to a direct community spending amount of about $13 million annually. The River City played host to the 2018 B.C. Winter Games, which had an estimated local economic impact of about $1.6 million, according to the provincial government, and featured about 1,200 athletes, 340 coaches and 200 officials. “The city has been promoting sport tourism for over 30 years, long before any other community I’ve ever known to,” Smith said. “We’re Canada’s Tournament Capital because we want to be a preferred choice for all events and event organizers. Whatever events they are, we want to make sure we’re putting on the best events. I’m not sure that this survey really addressed that aspect of event hosting.” The index also ranks events themselves in a statistic separate from the number-ofevents-hosted category. Kamloops is 41st in national championships. “We can offer so much outside of the competition itself,” said Smith, who made note of cultural events such as Music in the Park and the B.C. Festival of Performing Arts. “It would be nice if the experience was considered as part of the ranking. The Kamloops facilities are the reason a lot of these events do come, but it’s what happens as well as the competition that people will remember.” Timing was not

on Kamloops’ side for this year’s rankings, said Smith, with events such as the 2016 World Women’s Hockey Championship and 2014 Tim Hortons Brier, Four Nations Cup

and NACAC Under-23 Championships unable to tip scales. Kelowna snared the 2020 Memorial Cup, edging Kamloops and Lethbridge to secure a national tournament that will register on the 2020 rankings index. “Good for them,” Smith said. “That makes us landing the [2020] Canada 55-plus Games an extra bonus. If we had lost both for 2020, that would not have been good for our program.” The city has interest in hosting the Scotties Tournament of Hearts, the national women’s curling championship, and is in communication with TRU, which hosted the men’s

national university soccer championship in 2017 and is pursuing an upcoming U Sports volleyball championship, Smith said. TRU’s most-recent bid for volleyball nationals failed. Any events landed will be noted for CSTA analysis. Let’s just hope the city’s IT department has Smith’s spam settings sorted before then. “They’ve confirmed that they have me listed on their communication database,” Smith said. “It’s a moot point at this point. All we can do is make sure we are able to participate in the survey for next year and we’ll see

where we land.” MAKING THE LISTS Montreal is the big winner in the 500,000plus population GSI index, in first place ahead of Quebec City and Edmonton. Saskatoon, Richmond and Regina rank first, second and third, respectively, for cities with population in the range of 150,000 and 500,000. Lethbridge, in second, and Fredericton, in third, follow Kelowna in the 50,000 to 150,000 division. Ranking one through three in the under-50,000 category are Charlottetown, Brandon and Leduc, Alta.

Pendrel, Mingus shooing bad luck MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Catharine Pendrel has a puppy, Mingus. The 38-year-old Olympic bronze medallist cross-country mountain biker was certainly in need of a new companion, considering her most-recent tagalong, bad luck, was a real downer. Pendrel, a two-time world champion (2011, 2014) and Kamloops resident, broke her left humerus (the long bone between the shoulder and elbow) last summer, an injury that wreaked havoc on her season and forced her out of two World Cup events on the sevenstop circuit. She bailed and landed on a rock during a ride with friends at Harper Mountain on June 2, the tumble that led to the break. Prior to that, Pendrel had started strong — showing signs she was ready to kick the Olympic hangover she dealt with in 2017 — with a seventh-place finish at the first World Cup in South Africa. The misfortune began in Germany at the second World Cup stop, with a fall that contributed to a 17th-place finish, and continued with a flat tire on May 27 in the Czech Republic, a puncture that slowed her to a 24th-place result. Another flat tire derailed

her effort at the world championships in September in Lenzerheide, Switzerland. She finished 14th. The three-time World Cup champion (2010, 2012, 2016) wrapped the 2018 circuit in 21st place. Missing about two months’ worth of racing hurt Pendrel’s world ranking, which has dropped to 34th from 14th last June. The good news: It’s 2019. Pendrel, husband and coach Keith Wilson and Mingus hopped in their sprinter van and dashed about 2,500 kilometres to Prescott, Ariz., for the Whiskey Off-Road, a race scheduled for this Sunday that doubles as another tuneup ahead of the World Cup season. “I feel good,” Pendrel said. “It was challenging with the winter we had this year. I kind of didn’t have too many bike miles before I did the first race. I’m feeling better every race and more efficient and excited for the season.” Race season began in March. Pendrel has already competed at U.S. Cup and Canada Cup events, along with the Pan Am Championships in Mexico, earning world-ranking points and finding her legs along the way. The most encouraging result to date came at the Sea Otter Classic in Monterey, Calif., on April 14, a bronze-medal victory in which Pendrel finished behind American Kate Courtney, the

current world champion, and Annika Langvad, a former world champion from Denmark. “The results are never the full picture, so I’m just hoping that ... uh, sorry, my puppy is getting a little upset … yeah, it’s just always nice when you put in the work and it actually shows in the results.” Pendrel is aiming to be at each of the seven 2019 World Cup stops, the first scheduled to run from May 17 to May 19 in Albstadt, Germany. Racking up points along the way will be key to improving her world ranking, used to determine starting position for some events, including the world championship, which will run from Aug. 28 to Sept. 1 in MontSainte-Anne, Que. Pendrel, a six-time Canadian champion, may benefit from racing in familiar territory at worlds. “Having raced so much on the course and having a tonne of family from New Brunswick being able to come and with the support of people coming out to cheer on Canada, it will be good momentum for us,” said Pendrel, the Fredericton native. The springer spaniel didn’t interfere with the interview after the early interruption. Now if bad luck would only leave Pendrel alone. “Hopefully, we can keep that to a minimum,” Pendrel said. “It is building, but I’m close to top form.”

“Diving is a scary sport,” Bulmer Barrett said, with one eye on club members training on trampolines. “If you can make the scary part fun, that’s key, especially at the developmental age. “Like gymnastics or some of the more extreme sports, if you’re not paying attention, as you start to learn the harder dives, you can get hurt. “The key is to build great, strong, basic

fundamentals so that every step they take is with safety in mind and allows them to grow.” Seth Bose, Jace Shantz, Spencer Dick, Ryan Sherlock, Torrun Maurice, Mason Hill, Ollie Smith, Madisyn Black and Nate Wiedenman, along with Niedziejko and Bynoe, are the Riptech divers who qualified for novice nationals. Black and Smith will not be in action this weekend. Events will run from 9 a.m. to about 5 p.m. on Saturday and 9 a.m.

to about 2 p.m. on Sunday. “It’s really exciting for a small city like Kamloops to have 11 kids representing at the Canadian nationals,” said Bulmer Barrett, whose husband, Neil, is the club’s head coach. “It says a lot about the club working together to try to put great coaching in place and build the program. “I really have to commend all these young athletes because they’ve put in extra practise hours. It all really does culminate at nationals.”

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Mary Evelyn Bertoli

Hughes, Mary “Joan”

(née DeMarni)

January 3, 1946 ~ April 14, 2019

July 18, 1935 – April 22, 2019

Mary “Joan” Hughes passed away peacefully on April 14, 2019 at the Hospice House in Kamloops at the age of 73 years. She was born on January 3, 1946 in Vancouver. Joan is survived by her sons Jeff, and James, her daughter Colleen, and her grandchildren Sierra, Layne, Alex-Zandra , Jimmy, Joseph, Olivia Grace, and Jasper as well as many nieces, nephews and her best friend Robyne. Celebration of life services will be held at 2:00pm on Saturday, April 27th at the Sandbar Grill, 177 Tranquille Rd Unit #10, Kamloops. Life is short, eat dessert first! Online condolences may be made at www.tvfh.ca

Mary was born on July 18, 1935 in Royal Inland Hospital, she was the third child of parents John and Maria DeMarni. John an Italian immigrant (1909), started homesteading on property in Robbins Range. In 1931, he returned to Italy to marry Maria (Damini) and together they returned to Canada to start their family. With older brothers John, Ceasar and younger brothers Dino and Reno and younger sister Rena, they all lived and worked together on property they owned in Campbell Range. From an early age, mom worked alongside her parents and siblings, doing daily chores: milking cows, feeding livestock, washing clothes in the creek with a scrub board, gardening and cooking. Because everything was done by hand and with the help of horses, they logged the property first, then in the middle of winter they would haul the logs to the sawmill at Monte Lake by horse and sleigh. They would dig out and remove all the stumps, then they would cultivate the fields to plant hay, to be used for winter feed for the livestock. Mom’s fondest memory of growing up on the farm was playing hockey on the frozen pond with her brothers and sister using willow branches for sticks and a frozen horse turd for a puck. In 1949, John purchased his first automobile and mom at the age of 15 was granted her driver’s licence early so she could drive her dad to town for supplies and a cold beer at the Leland Hotel. At age 18 (1953), mom packed all her belongings in a small suitcase and moved into town. Mom started working at F.W. Woolworth’s in the store’s stockroom. It was in town that mom would meet and marry Raymond Joseph Bertoli

in 1955. Together they had four children: John (1958), Teresa (1959), Gary (1963) and Robert (1968). Mom devoted her life to family, she cooked, cleaned, planted gardens and canned all sorts of fruit and vegetables. Through the 70s, alongside mom’s cousin, Sev and Jean DeMarni, many a story was told of fishing trips, hunting trips and ski-dooing adventures. Life was filled with laughter, mischievous moments and many memorable events. When all of us kids started playing school and organized sports, she was there at every practice and game, she was our cheerleader, scorekeeper, carpool driver and snack maker. Mom loved huge family dinners, driving her big black 4 X 4 truck (Wild and Crazy Mary), her vintage Grand Prix car, riding her ski-doo (this past winter), going to the casino and celebrating every birthday and holiday. Mom is survived by her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, son John (Charleen) and their two children Maria (John) (Layne, Lexie, Lia and Lydia), Jon-Michael (Colton), daughter Teresa (Doug) and their daughter Catherine (Brooklyn), son Gary (Corinne) and their two children Ethan and Stacey, son Robert (Debbie) and their son Randy (Kayla) (Scarlett and Reid). Also left to cherish her memory is, mom’s best friend and sisterin-law Jean Stewart and close family friends Lacey and Trevor (Lilly and Jack). The family would like to thank all the doctors and nurses in Emergency and 7th North for all their kind and compassionate care given to mom during her short stay in the hospital. Funeral Service will be held on Tuesday, April 30, 2019 at 11:00 am in the Schoening Funeral Chapel, 513 Seymour Street, Kamloops. Family interment will take place at Hillside Cemetery. Should friends so desire, donations may be made to The Heart & Stroke Foundation in memory of Mary would be appreciated. Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

Her Journey’s Just Begun by E. Brenneman

Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun. Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away. And think of her as living, In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much.

Local ‘dad band’ to rip into Armstrong Metalfest SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

or years, the members of Kamloops metal band Conniver had the goal of playing Armstrong Metalfest. Each year, they made sure they were ready and applied — and each year, they didn’t get the call. Then, about six months ago, things started to fall apart for the band. Two longtime members left and almost all of its old songs were scrapped. And then, without even applying, the band got the call to play Metalfest. “We were so ready every other time,” said Jason Riozzi. “And then this year, we didn’t even apply because we weren’t ready.” But with its new lineup, which includes Riozzi on guitar, Mark Barron on drums, Calvin Charpentier on bass, AJ McKnee on guitar and Sean Bouchard on vocals, the band has come up with enough new material for a set. “We’re hoping to get the name out. You can get some great exposure out there,” bassist Charpentier said. The band also sees the event as a networking opportunity, a chance to meet with bands from all over B.C. and beyond. The Metalfest lineup includes 32 bands, about half of which are from B.C., while Conniver is the only group from Kamloops. The Okanagan festival stage will be the biggest yet for Conniver, though in the past the band has played with notable

groups like Ninjaspy when it toured through the region. Before shuffling to drums when new members joined the band, Barron’s vocals were behind what the band produced, including its lone publicly available track, Broken Man Stands. Soon after Charpentier joined the band, Bouchard followed and

brought his vocal talents with him. The band called him a “local vocal legend,” mostly known for his work with Vancouver-based metal band Anion, which released an EP in 2016. But while the band has reformed and is moving in a more productive direction, its scope will remain limited.

“We’re not going to be that touring-across-Canada band,” Barron said. “We’re just going to do what we love to do, sticking to Kamloops and maybe venturing out to the Okanagan and Vancouver.” Barron isn’t a dad — he’s the only one who isn’t — but he conceded that Conniver is “pretty

Conniver will play a June 18 show at the Kami Inn before its biggest ever stage at Armstrong Metalfest in July.

much a dad band.” Its members have day jobs and families and the time for making music is typically relegated to what’s left once the kids are asleep. But despite the time restraints, the members of Conniver are invested in what they produce, and know the direction they’re heading in — and their audience. The band described its style as “very technical, very mathematical” progressive metal. “It’s not easy by any means. It’s not something you can just bob your head to. You have to process it a little bit,” Barron said. Riozzi said the style took him some time to figure out. “I remember I initially struggled with it because it didn’t make sense. Over the years of writing and playing, now I find it hard to play normal,” he said. Barron said the band is aiming for those who appreciate the technical aspects of their songs. “We basically just make it as complicated as possible,” he said When asked which acts not to miss at Metalfest this year, the band noted Sentinels, Betraying the Martyrs and Nekrogoblikon, which Barron described as “really out there” as their picks. Other acts on the Metalfest docket include Wake, Entheos, Centuries of Decay, Within Destruction and Odinfist. Passes for the July 12 festival are $135, available online at armstrongmetalfest.ca/tickets. Conniver will also play a show at the Kami Inn, 354 Victoria St., on June 18.

Valleyview students set the stage for Cinderella TODD SULLIVAN STAFF REPORTER todd@kamloopsthisweek.com

ou might think you know the story of Cinderella, either from the traditional fairy tale or the numerous onscreen adaptations, but Marietta Magliocchi, Valleyview secondary drama teacher and director, said her students have surprises in store for anyone coming to see the school’s production of the classic tale. Students are performing the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical version, which was originally written for television. It was broadcast live on CBS in 1957 with Julie Andrews in the title role. Jaymi Daniels, who is the musical director for the show, said it’s just the right challenge for the students. “You're combining singing, acting and dancing,” Daniels said. “So it's a lot of work, and the kids have to be good at all three things.” Magliocchi agrees. “Everyone's learning a new skill,” she said. “Whether it's acting, dancing or singing, they're

BRIEFS Tea Party and Proud Sons to play May 6 show at the Coast hotel

The Tea Party, the band behind the 1999 No. 1 Canadian single Heaven Coming Down and three other full-length albums since, will soon play a show in Kamloops. The 13-time Juno-nominated band will play the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre on Monday, May 6. They will be joined by Winnipeg’s The Proud Sons.

all learning something new. And that's really hard.” It’s a big commitment for the students, too, with musical rehearsals beginning back in November. Dance and acting were added to the mix in January. Though this is only her third collaboration with Daniels, Magliocchi has directed nine different shows for the Valleyview secondary stage, and she is familiar with the bonding process that can occur among performers. “We are like our own little family when they come to rehearsal,” she said. “And if someone's struggling in a subject or someone is struggling with lines or dance, they come in at lunch or after school on their own time and they rehearse together.” Kaia Smoliak-Carlin, who plays Queen Constantina, also recognizes the value of those bonds. “Whenever you're in a musical theatre production like this, the cast is really a family,” she said. “And when you're together multiple nights a week you really grow and get to know each other well.” Smoliak-Carlin has been in a number of shows, including two

Roots and blues singersongwriter Roxanne Potvin will play in May

Juno-nominated singer-songwriter Roxanne Potvin will play a show in May in Kamloops. Potvin’s album The Way It Feels, released in 2006, received a Juno nomination for blues album of the year. It’s one of five releases from the Regina-born roots and blues artist. Her latest is an EP called All It Was, released last year. Potvin’s show will be on May 16 at The Bassment, a small homebased venue with room for about 40 people.

under Magliocchi’s direction, and has seen that sometimes a production doesn’t entirely come together until the very end. “I don't think anybody is fully ready until showtime. It kind of surprises you when it comes up and all of a sudden everything comes together,” she said. “We'll all be ready.” Others are taking to the stage for the first time in Cinderella, including Zach Leishman, who

plays King Maximillian. “It's been a little frantic,” he said, “but definitely a worthwhile experience.” It’s a sentiment shared by Tessa Martin, who plays the titular Cinderella. “It's a great story about a girl who learns how to make her own dreams come true,” she said. “And it's really heartwarming. We put a lot of work into making it the best it can be. And it's a really

fun show to come watch. “It's for all ages, especially little kids that love fairy tales.” Both directors hope to see the community out during the play’s run from May 1 to May 4. “Support these amazing students and wonderful program that we’ve built here at Valleyview,” Magliocchi said. “The best way to support the performing arts is to come to the show,” Daniels said.

Try finding your next project at a garage sale I

recently described my personal home décor style as an “old house full of old things I love but that do not necessarily match.” “Eclectic” sums it up more efficiently. Our house was built in the ‘60s, which is both charming and not-so-charming at times, and I’ve managed to fill it with a lot of vintage, collected and preloved furniture and décor. Some of my favourite pieces are used; the wood credenza we repurposed into an entertainment unit, a vintage teak dining set with fresh upholstery and an antique dresser with white chipped paint finish that was too perfect to touch. Every room is home to something old, handed down or picked up second hand, and since opening Far and Wide, a few pieces have migrated down to the shop, too. I grew up in Juniper Ridge, where the community garage sale is a big deal. As a kid, the annual sale was a magical day when my brother and I sold the toys we no longer used for earnings we could put toward some-

thing new — before spending the afternoon running around with friends and scouring the block for treasure. Our budget was any allowance money we’d managed to squirrel away, and I always found something I wanted to buy, most of which (like an oversized fuchsia occasional chair) was met with a firm “no” from my parents. Even then I was intrigued by the glimpse into people’s lives that a garage sale provides — seeing someone’s possessions, normally tucked away inside, displayed so prominently on lawns and in driveways. I love the thrill of the hunt, the chance to find something perfect that I didn’t know I needed. The price of second-hand doesn’t hurt, either, when you’re decorating on a budget. However, there are a lot of factors to consider before buying used. Condition is always a main concern. These pieces have already lived a full life and small nicks and scratches are to be expected, while bigger issues such as broken or missing

CALLI DUNCAN Maker

MOVEMENT pieces, large cracks, odours and staining often require specialized equipment and know-how that may not be worth the time or cost. Whenever possible, I try to limit myself to pieces that only require small updates, or can be used as they are with a good cleaning, quick coat of a wood refinishing product or a little paint. It can be easy to fall in love with a bargain and snap up a dresser or bench without fully thinking through the amount of work the piece might require.

After letting “project” pieces pile up in the past and parting with some pieces I never got around to working on, I’m painfully aware of how quickly the excitement can dissipate once I’m home and faced with a daunting amount of work. Recovering a dining chair seat can be a fun and relatively straightforward DIY project, but tackling an upholstery project on a wingback chair on the other hand is not. Upholstery is a true artform, from matching fabric grains and patterns to rebuilding cushions and perfectly hiding everything under a trim of piping, it takes a lot of time, experience and equipment and should not be entered into lightly. The same is true for projects that strip the finish off an older piece of furniture. Make sure to always research these projects first and take the proper safety precautions. Recently, a commercial for IKEA ran showing a little girl who rehomes a lamp she finds discarded on the sidewalk. “Reusing things is always better,” the commercial states

— and they have a point. Buying used is something you can feel good about, whether you’re motivated by budget, personal aesthetic, the environment or something else. The Juniper Ridge community garage sale is on May 5, with many other neighbourhoods holding collective garage sales over the next six weeks. I encourage you to check them out. You may just find a new project to tackle. Calli Duncan is co-owner of Makeshift Kamloops and Far and Wide. For more, go online to farandwidekamloops.com.

22 ANNUAL nd

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW FILE

IT’S BOOGIE TIME, KAMLOOPS! L ace up your running shoes and prepare to Boogie the overpass. Boogie the Bridge will take place on Sunday in a new location and along new routes. The annual fundraiser is moving to North Kamloops this year and in 2020 as the city continues its road reconstruction project on West Victoria Street. The 21st annual event will begin and end in McDonald Park, with participants crossing the Tranquille Road overpass above Fortune Drive as they complete the five-, 10- and 21-kilometre distances. The spring run, which draws more than 2,000 participants annually and raises money for local community groups, has historically began downtown, travelled along West Victoria Street and across Overlanders Bridge. This year, it will start at McDonald Park and travel at its farthest out to Westsyde. The route won’t mirror that of the Kamloops Marathon, which begins and ends in July down the road at McArthur Island. Event co-ordinator and full-time Boogie cheerleader Jo Berry is recommending participants use transit and bicycles

Fuel your Body. Fuel your Soul. Welcome all Boogie the Bridge participants & spectatators to The Shore.

and think about carpooling to McDonald Park as parking may be an issue. She said a good warm-up idea would be to park at McArthur Island and walk over. Berry said the new route will provide a unique twist to the event and provide an opportunity to promote the North Shore. Participants can expect live music and inspirational messages chalked onto the streets, as has been the case in the past. This year’s Boogie event will raise money for Kamloops Brain Injury Association and Kamloops Early Language and Literacy Initiative. Boogie has raised more than $1 million since its inception in 1998. Last year’s walk and run event drew more than 2,800 participants for the mini-Boogie, five-kilometre, 10-kilometre and half-marathon distances. Berry said she hopes to surpass 3,000 participants for the first time. It’s not too late to join the crowd. You can register for Boogie on Friday (2 p.m. to 7 p.m.) and Saturday (10 a.m. to 2 p.m.) in Sahali Mall and on Sunday from 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. in McDonald Park. For more information, go online to boogiethebridge.com.

FRIDAY, April 26, 2019

EMMA PAPPALARDO Sound engineer RunClub+ It’s here! This Sunday, Boogie the Bridge is happening. And I am still sick — isn’t that just the luck? But it doesn’t matter as I’ve been doing my best to take care of my body. It knows what we need to do and if ,on Sunday, I have to stop halfway through my 10K run or I end up walking the entire route, so be it. I’ll be happy to simply attempt/finish it than to not try at all. I am a little upset that I’m not going to be at my best for Boogie, but when you think about it, when will we ever be at our best? There’s always improvements to be made. We just have to get out there and do it. I didn’t make it to Run Club+ or Tuesday night RunClub this week and it’s been an eye-opener to learn just how important it is for me to see and run with these amazing people each week. I miss them and their smiles and enthusiasm, more than I miss running, so I am looking forward to Sunday’s Boogie that much more. And, as an added bonus, if I end up walking my 10K, then there’s a good chance everyone on my team will complete the distance before me and will be at the finish line to cheer me on. I can’t wait. To those running Boogie, have a great run and enjoy yourselves!

www.kamloopsthisweek.com

JAIME AULT 5K Sweet Tuesday night was the last RunClub event before the big day. With lots of work and support, I am finally getting through my injury. The Boogie prep has been a huge learning curve for me, learning to be patient with my body and kind to myself through the process. It’s also given me a huge group of people I look forward to seeing every week. We ran the Boogie route (and it’s awesome), which was great. It was helpful to know ahead of time what the route was like and how it would go on the day of Boogie. I’m going into race day confident I will be able to finish, proud that I have worked through my roadblocks and excited to keep running. While I haven’t yet found that love of running, or the runner’s high I went into this experience looking for, I am determined to keep showing up, keep moving and keep improving. Who knows? Maybe one day you’ll see me running a 10K instead of a 5K. For anyone who is thinking about joining RunClub, I can only say one thing – do it, regardless of your fitness level. This group of people is fantastic, welcoming and will give you the support you need to keep going, even when you don’t want to take another step. I know I will be continuing with RunClub after Boogie. I hope to see you there!

The Next RunClub clinic starts on Sunday, May 12, at 8 a.m. or Tuesday, May 14, at 6 p.m. Everyone is welcome. Go online to runclub.ca for information.

For A

FINAL WEEK, WEEK 8

MAX PATEL KTW digital sales associate 10K Bold It was my last training session with RunClub for Boogie the Bridge and it was an important one as we ran the Boogie route. As always, getting there is the most difficult part, but once you meet up with the club members, all your daily stress, exhaustion and frustration vanishes. The last eight weeks of being with RunClub has been such an important and fun part of my daily routine. I took a break from Boogie training last week. When I ran on this past Tuesday, I realized the importance of training regularly to maintain the strong connection between mind and body for running. Boogie Day this Sunday will be very special for me for reasons I would like to share in my final column. On April 28, 2016, I started a new journey in my life in a completely new country — Canada. I arrived on that day as an international student pursuing higher education in marketing. I completed my education and am now working as a professional in my industry of digital marketing at KTW Digital. I’m at a good stage in my life and couldn’t be happier. I wanted to celebrate my three-year anniversary in Canada by organizing a community event that would bring the entire community together as a part of my celebration. But I failed to do so. Along the way, I was training for Boogie, which falls on the third anniversary of my arrival in Canada. I don’t know why it didn’t cross my mind before that this could be my celebration. Last week, I realized the connection between my anniversary and Boogie the Bridge and I couldn’t have found a better way to celebrate my success in Kamloops. Thank you all for all your love in past years and I will be looking forward to it in the years to come as I consider Kamloops my home away from home.

MOVEMENT IS CHANGE with Jo Berry, RunClub and Boogie the Bridge founder

On Sunday, we all Boogie

wo runners approach the finish line at the CFJC-TV Boogie The Bridge, their arms linked in solidarity and celebration. Spectators clap and cheer. As they cross the finish line together in triumph, ear-to-ear grins appear — and maybe a few tears. They lift their arms over their heads, still holding hands, a celebration of their personal victory and a spectacular finish to their commitment to health and happiness. As the race continues, similar acts of celebration are repeated thousands of times by kids, adults, seniors, Questions? friends, co-workers, Go online to runclub.ca or send an email to elite runners, recrejoberry@ ational runners and boogiethebridge.com. walkers. All of these positive, celebratory vibes help create Boogie’s awesome atmosphere. But celebration does more than that. It builds community. Celebrating not only feels fantastic, but it also helps define who we are both as individuals and as members of this awesome city. Traditions of celebration — from holidays, to crossing the finish line with hands held high — are part of our identity, part of our cellular memory and DNA. They help us recognize our individual achievements and aid us in expressing who we are as members of a community. That is exactly what the CFJC-TV Boogie The Bridge is about — strengthening our community. Celebrating together brings us together. Boogie is all about accomplishment, connection, community and celebration. We embrace high-fives, hugs at the finish line and that euphoric feeling of coming together. Sunday is your day, all in a sea of red — and the Boogie team can’t wait to greet you at the start and the finish lines. Thank you for your Boogie love and support. Boogie on!

An unexpected pilgrimage in France COLLEEN FRIESEN

SPECIAL TO KTW

travelwriterstales.com

eptember’s morning fog lay low in the fields, pushing up against ancient rock fences. My hiking sticks tapped on stones worn smooth from centuries of footsteps. Mist, floating free of the fog, rose, illuminated and golden, before disappearing into the light of the sun. A few years ago, our same foursome (myself, husband Kevin and friends Yvonne and Bruce) completed a wonderful walk in England’s Yorkshire Dales. It had been a journey replete with old inns, pub dining and plenty of that Ye Olde England feel to things. Importantly, it included the transfer of our luggage to each night’s hotel. This left us free to carry a small daypack with rain gear and our lunch. When we booked this walking trip in France, I thought it would be similar to that one, except, of course, we’d be trekking in the land that celebrates cuisine. What I’d failed to read was we were doing more than just a hike. It seemed we’d signed up for a pilgrimage. I’d certainly heard about the UNESCO-designated Camino de Santiago, but I hadn’t realized there are literally dozens of pilgrimage routes leading to Santiago de Compostela. When we booked our trip in France, our walk would be on one of them. When I read the brochure again, that’s exactly what it said. How’d I miss that? Still, no one was forcing us to call our seven-day, 150-kilometre hike a pilgrimage. But when your first night’s accommodation is in a converted abbey that hosts 96 pilgrims in monastic cell-like

rooms within the UNESCOdesignated city of Conques, a village that has been a holy site since the seventh century, well, it sort of sets the tone. That night, we sat in the grandeur of an 11th-century church, listening to haunting notes from the huge pipe organ above us. Behind me, I heard a woman quietly weeping. Some walkers had large scallop shells on their packs, symbolic of a pilgrim.

Most of them had started in La Puy-en-Velay, already covering the first 150 kilometres of The French Way of St. James. Many of them would be travelling for much longer, with only what they could carry on their backs. At first, parachuting into the middle of the pilgrimage made me feel like a poseur, but I soon realized no one was there to judge. Halfway through that first day,

the interior lining of my left boot began bunching in the arch of my foot. By the time I looked, the blister was already fat and growing. I slapped on some Moleskin, but it was obvious I needed new boots. I left my old boots in the store and staggered out, stunned by the day’s exertion in the unusual heat wave. If suffering is part of a pilgrimage, it would seem we were being initiated quickly.

A few days later, Yvonne’s toes started to blister, then Kevin and Bruce showed off their blackening toenails. Each day, we passed around ibuprofen, Voltaren, sunscreen and Moleskin-like party favours. We learned all of it was surmountable. Walking all day becomes its own meditation. Plus, it turns out that pain has a curious way of removing all other thoughts. Each day, we drizzled olive oil on baguettes and tucked into aromatic sausage, delectable cheeses, olives, fragrant tomatoes and nuts for our picnic lunches. Our feet carried us through history as forests of chestnut, oak, Montpellier maple and boxwood gave way to fields of chateaus, churches, cows and sheep. We stumbled through tiny villages, incredible cathedrals, small roadside churches and another UNESCO-designated city, Figeac. Curious donkeys watched our progress. Dying sunflowers bowed their heads. On our final day, the trail briefly opened up near a highway. Looking down at speeding trucks and cars, it struck me as ridiculous. Everyone was in such a hurry. It seemed wrong for bodies to be hurtling through space and time like that. When had we all decided that faster was better? This sloweddown version of life seemed infinitely richer and deeper. I turned my back on the highway and faced the ancient landscape, following the footsteps of all those seekers before me. And that is when I knew. This had been so much more than a walk. I had been on a pilgrimage after all. Travel Writers’ Tales is a travel article syndicate. For more information, go online to travelwriterstales.com.

FAITH

Post-Easter — the current story continues

hen I was growing up, one of my favourite authors and TV people was Rod Serling. He created and introduced the weekly TV series The Twilight Zone. Serling had the ability to tell a story and put a particular twist in it that astounded the audience. He incorporated the unexpected. We just celebrated Easter, which, for us, delivers the unexpected via a twist we didn’t see coming. Neither Jesus’ disciples, nor the religious or political leaders, expected the crucifixion of Jesus to work out this way. Everyone thought Good Friday was the end of the story. Then Easter happened. Easter is not where the story ends. It may be the end of part of Jesus’ story, but it is the beginning of our story. Someone has,

NARAYAN MITRA You Gotta Have

FAITH

therefore, aptly said Easter is the neverending story. The story of Easter in the Gospel of Mark is short, concise and contains no resurrection appearances in its original form. It has a strange ending. But it contains many of the parts that are so familiar to us in the other gospels. There are the women who come out on Sunday morning, especially Mary Magdalene. They come to anoint the body of dead Jesus. And what they find is the empty tomb. There stood a young man, dare we say an

angel? There is the pronouncement: “He is not here!” The immediate reaction of the women is one of fear, confusion, anxiety and awe. And there is the command: Go and tell the others.” This is the story of Easter. This is where we come in and have the invitation to become part of the story. Where was Jesus for us this past Easter? How does the story connect with the root of our lives? Do we truly understand Easter is not the ending, but the beginning? Mark’s abrupt ending doesn’t have a full conclusion. It makes us a little uncomfortable. Some Bible scholars say other verses were added to try to round out the story. But I like the unfinished ending. It leaves more possibilities for us to consider. Mark stopped at the eighth verse. There is hesitation and uncer-

tainty. Mark wants us to see the resurrection is not the end of the Jesus story for us. There is more. We are the story’s conclusion. We get to write part of the ending. Why is it so hard for us to live into this open ending? Maybe it’s because we have been so conditioned to have endings or conclusions in our lives. Television’s Dr. House always manages to get the right diagnosis before the end of the hour and save the patient. This is not like American Idol, where we can count on at least one of the contestants being thrown off each episode and only one winner is left at the end. We like endings, especially ones that come shortly and quickly. But that’s not what we get with Easter. What the Gospel of Mark leaves us with is an ending that takes more from us. It requires a leap of

A tree to celebrate 200-year anniversaries of Baha’i faith The Kamloops Baha’i community will be commemorating the 200th anniversaries of the two prophet founders of the faith — the Bab and Baha’u’llah — with a tree-planting ceremony on Monday, April 29. A London Plane tree will be planted along the path between Riverside and Pioneer parks, accompanied by a commemorative plaque to mark the occasion. “We appreciate the City of Kamloops for their Memorial Tree Program. which has been instrumental in facilitating this occasion,” said David Hoar, vice-chair of the Baha’i spiritual assembly for Kamloops. Hoar said having the tree planted is signifi-

cant for the Kamloops Baha’is. “It makes us feel like part of the community,” he said. The event will take place at 10:30 a.m. on a holy day for the Baha’i as April 29 marks the ninth day of the Ridvan Festival, which is celebrated by Baha’is around the world. The Baha’i religion, established in 1863 by Baha’u’llah, teaches the worth of all religions and equality of all people. The religion initially grew in Persia and parts of the Middle East. The public is invited to attend the Kamloops ceremony, where light refreshments will be served.or more information, call Hoar at 250572-5435.

faith. We need to write how the story will end for us. We have to answer what we believe about finding the empty tomb. Then we go and tell others. What will we tell others? Will we say we went to a decorated church on Easter Sunday and the service was nice, with lots of people present? Or will we continue to say God has acted in our lives to bring us new life and that things have changed for us forever? We are people of the story and the story continues. It’s like the cliffhangers in the movie serials of the 1930s and 1940s — an episode ends, but stay tuned for next week because there’s more to come. We are captivated by the story. We want to see how it will work out. What’s going to happen next? It will be new: new life, new community and a new way to be with God. The holy scriptures

point us toward the continuing story. Paul speaks in the book of Corinthians about how he received the good news. It brought him forgiveness and new life and he passed it on to the church. Now we are encouraged, like Paul, to see our own experiences and moments of the risen Jesus. We, too, have the opportunity to be part of the Easter story. We might ask ourselves where we have met Jesus today. Peter speaks in the book of Acts about how the Easter story changed his life. He thought Jesus was limited to one group of people. Then he met Cornelius, the centurion, who desired to become part of the church and her story. This early sermon of Peter shows us how the Easter story can change us. Peter then understood that this new life in risen Jesus is available for all people. There are no limita-

tions to the story. It is too big for any one person or any one group of people. This is new life for all. So, here we are right after Easter 2019. The Gospel of Mark leaves the ending up to us. What ending will we write as our part of the miracle of resurrection? Easter doesn’t end with us. It begins with us. The story continues. It goes on and on and on. How will we be a part of it?
