Of the 19 murderers hanged in Kamloops, all but two executions can be attributed to one of two men — Radcliffe or Ellis. As the country’s ‘national hangmen,’ the two led lives as colourful away from the gallows as they were dark when the hoods were on.

Police probe unprecedented wave of vandalism By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops Mounties are calling it an unprecedented wave of malicious vandalism — and hoping the weekend’s rash of broken windows and graffiti tags isn’t a sign of damage to come. “This was an unusual spike,” said Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned. “We haven’t seen anything quite as rampant as what happened this last weekend. “Hopefully, this isn’t foreshadowing of something that could become a trend for summer months.” The most damage was done early Monday morning (March 19) in Brocklehurst, where vandals smashed more than 50 windows at a number of public
buildings — including Brock Arena, Kay Bingham elementary and Brocklehurst middle school. Learned said Kay Bingham was hit the hardest, with 40 broken windows at the school. The spree was first reported to police at about 1:45 a.m., Learned said, when a resident living near Brock Arena called to report the sound of breaking glass. That was followed by reports of similar incidents at area schools and Mounties set up a perimeter. Learned said police questioned a group of eight teenagers found in the area, but all were released without charges. “The types of damages done . . . were purely malicious,” he said. “This was just a case of somebody out

EDITORIAL A8 breaking windows.” The weekend’s vandalism wasn’t confined to Brocklehurst. Learned said police in the downtown core were kept busy with multiple calls for broken windows and graffiti.
On Saturday night (March 17), someone smashed the windows of two Victoria Street businesses. The next morning, Mounties were alerted to a trio of incidents — one in the 600-block of Nicola
Street, one in the 500block of Munro Street and the third in the 600-block of Douglas Street — in which property was damaged and graffiti tags were left behind. In one instance, Learned said, a large

not that significant,” he said. “I expect this is probably going to take two-thirds of it. “Some of these windows were quite big and very expensive.” Sullivan said school-district staff is working to clean up the mess and order new glass, which could take some time. Sullivan is not sure everything will be repaired when classes resume on Monday, March 26. Learned said the investigation is ongoing and officers are using surveillance footage from some of the incidents to help identify those responsible. Anyone with information about any of the vandalism is asked to call police at 250828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

eye was crudely spraypainted onto the master-bedroom window of a home. The three incidents are believed to be related to each other, but not to the other weekend vandalism. The weekend marked the beginning of spring break for local students and Learned said that might have something to do with the sudden surge in mischief. “It’s very disappointing to think that the start of the school break is punctuated by all these acts of wilful damage,” he said. KamloopsThompson school district superintendent Terry Sullivan estimated the damage to the two schools involved will be near $20,000 — which will put a strain on the school district’s budget. “We have a vandalism budget, but it’s

Confident Dragons won’t Crush the dream By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
“I’m in.” Those are the words a group of Kamloops entrepreneurs is hoping to hear in the not-toodistant future as they attempt to pitch their restaurant concept on the popular CBC reality series Dragons Den. “I’m definitely confident,” said Melanie Fretwell, one of four owners of Crush Saute and Grill. “I know what we have.” But, before any meeting takes place with the dragons, Fretwell — along with co-owners Jason Fulton, Joey Ippolito and Sanjay Kosmadia — will have to wow a duo of Dragons Den producers at auditions in Kamloops. The Crush owners are expected to be among dozens of prospective pitchers at the auditions — slated to run from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday, March 22, at the TRU Residence and Conference Centre. One of the CBC
Crush co-owners Sanjay Kosmadia (left), Melanie Fretwell and Jason Fulton are ready to slay some financial dragons. Dave Eagles/KTW
producers saying yes or no at the Kamloops auditions will be Priscilla Sreedharan. “Basically, we’re asking entrepreneurs to come down and pitch to us like they would on the show,” she told KTW.
“Once you get through the producers, that’s your ticket to see the dragons.” The Crush quartet is optimistic. “The pitch is to franchise our business,” said Fulton, explaining
the ask will likely be $250,000 for 25 per cent equity, plus ownership of the first franchised location of Crush. “To franchise our restaurant, that’s the big picture — 150 of them across the country, like
Boston Pizza.” That venerable Canadian pizza chain, as anyone who watches the show will know, plays a large role in many a Dragons Den episode. Jim Treliving — a former Mountie and
founder and chairman of the Boston Pizza chain of restaurants — is himself one of the dragons. On Dragons Den, any pitch having to do with food or franchising is usually aimed directly at Treliving. And, according to Fulton, there might be added reason for the selfmade millionaire to take interest in Crush, should the local restaurateurs make it into the Den. “I ran the Boston Pizza here when it first opened up,” Fulton said. “I actually met Jim several times and went through his franchiseetraining program.” Fulton is quick to admit he and Treliving are far from buddy-buddy — “He wouldn’t recognize me,” he told KTW — but said the experience of having managed a Boston Pizza and gone through the franchise’s training program could be a big plus. While a desperate need for cash seems to fuel most of the pitches seen on Dragons Den, Fulton said that’s not the
case with Crush. “It’s not about the money,” he said, noting the Victoria Street restaurant has done well since opening its doors nearly two years ago. “It’s his [Treliving’s] expertise in franchising.” Kosmadia agreed, saying the restaurant magnate is definitely the dragon in the sights of the Crush owners. “He’s the one-stop shop, pretty much,” he said. “And, we’ve been around for two years. When we started, there were other restaurants that started with us that aren’t around anymore.” Kosmadia said Crush owners have already been approached once by a prospective franchisee — in Kelowna — but had to say no because the business was just getting started. But, now? They say they’re ready. “I think regardless, with or without the dragons, we will achieve our goals,” Fulton said. “It’s just a matter of speeding it up.”
Know your stuff before even thinking about pitching your product Dragons Den is a CBC reality show on which Canadian entrepreneurs pitch their business ideas to a group of five wealthy investors. Priscilla Sreedharan, one of the show’s producers, said the stop in Kamloops this week is one of 40 across the country ahead of Dragons Den’s seventh season. “We pretty much just go coast to coast,” she said. All entrepreneurs are welcome to attend the auditions, Sreedharan said. But, if you’re going to show up, you should be prepared.
history... Hey Kamloops,we want ant yyour our

“Bring answers,” she said. “So, think about your idea. Put a little thought into it.”
Sreedharan said Dragons Den producers are especially keeping an eye out for young businesspeople this year. “We’re doing a big push for student entrepreneurs,” she said, explaining the upcoming season will likely feature a special episode on which all of the pitchers are young people — from kindergarten to university. “I had a five-year-old girl pitch to me the other day. You’re never too young to pitch on Dragons Den.”

Bicycle safety a priority at police meeting By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
When the Tournament Capital’s top cop opened the floor to the public on Thursday, March 15, seeking input for future policing priorities, there was one issue that dominated the discussion. It wasn’t drugs, property crime, the bar flush or domestic violence. It was bicycle enforcement — mainly cyclists without helmets and bikes on sidewalks — which seemed to take over the forum.
The meeting was the second in a pair of public-input sessions organized by local Mounties. According to Kamloops RCMP Supt. Yves Lacasse, the focus on bike safety at last Thursday’s session wasn’t a bad thing. “We need to take into account feedback from everybody,” he said following the meeting, attended by about 30 people at the Parkside Lounge at Interior Savings Centre. “People have different views about what’s important to them.”
YVES LACASSE
The previous Kamloops RCMP public-input session was held on Wednesday, March 14. Lacasse said 17 people showed up for that meeting. Both sessions began the same way, with
a PowerPoint presentation by police, in which Lacasse and other Kamloops RCMP brass detailed the local detachment’s crime-fighting efforts and strategies. There was also a plethora of statistics presented, including numbers showing the falling property-crime figures — attributed to the RCMP’s prolificoffender management program. Some slides in the presentation were less appealing, like the statistics outlining rising instances of domestic violence. On Thursday night,
Cellphone, seatbelt blitz nabs dozens of drivers The message does not appear to be getting through to Kamloops drivers, according to police. More than 100 local motorists were ticketed over the weekend as the local RCMP highway patrol conducted a blitz on drivers failing to buckle up and using cellphones behind the wheel. According to RCMP numbers, a total of 117 tickets and 35 warnings were handed out during the one-day enforcement campaign on Friday, March 16. Mounties set up at a number of intersections in Kamloops, stationing a plainclothes officer on the sidewalk to watch for drivers in violation of seatbelt or cellphone laws. During the blitz, 53 tickets were handed out for failing to wear a seatbelt — in addition to 38 for using an electronic device while
driving, 24 for other violations and two for prohibition notices. Police say a further
35 warnings were doled out. Anyone caught using a cellphone —
or other handheld electronic device — and driving in B.C. is subject to a $167 fine.
the RCMP presentation took about 30 minutes. It was followed by a two-hour questionand-answer period. Lacasse said the previous night’s events went the same way. “We had a two-hour discussion tonight and a two-hour discussion last night,” he said. “I’m glad we did it. This is something we haven’t done before and something we will do again in the future. “It’s really valuable to us. It helps us.” Lacasse said he will use the input from the public sessions — and similar meetings held with community groups — to put together the detachment’s strategic plan. He’s slated to meet
with municipal government officials next week to decide how
the detachment will proceed with its crimereduction strategy.

City receives beautiful money from province Kamloops will receive $250,000 in funding to help improve the Lorne Street corridor project in front of Riverside Park. The funding is from the provincial government’s community recreation program and was announced on the weekend in the park by Ida Chong, the minister of community, sport and cultural development, and Terry Lake, the environment minister and MLA for Kamloops-North Kamloops. The Kamloops project, which aims to make the Lorne Street area more pedestrian-friendly, is one of 98 throughout B.C. to receive some of the $30 million being doled out from the community recreation program. Under this initiative, the province is funding up to 80 per cent of eligible costs for projects that enhance recreation infrastructure provincewide. Projects include trails, bike paths, walkways, playgrounds and other indoor or outdoor recreation centres. Smaller and rural communities were given priority in the selection process. The Lorne Street project is part of the Making Kamloops Shine initiative. The project will make Lorne Street more walkable by providing streetscape improvements and traffic calming measures between First and Third avenues. Also announced were four other Kamloops-area projects that will receive funding through the program: • Chase Memorial Park Wharf rebuild project — $365,600. • Clearwater North Thompson Sportsplex dressing room expansion — $400,000. • Sun Peaks Community Recreation Centre phase 1 — $400,000. • Barriere community recreation project — $238,680.

BCLC shuffles IT department By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
The B.C. Lottery Corporation (BCLC) is technology-dependent — and that’s why its IT department has seen 23 employees reassigned and another 14 let go, said BCLC chief executive officer Michael Graydon. The move comes as the agency that oversees gambling in the province changes the way it does business, bringing in new technologies, moving away from a siloed format, with various parts of the IT department supporting individual business modules, and eliminating or bringing in work that has been done by contractors. Graydon said the change in staffing came about “because we needed a completely different expertise. We are going through some fundamental changes and
a lot of the systems are being decommissioned and a highly specialized architecture is being brought in.” In practical terms, that
what Graydon said is an already sophisticated technological base. The department had 185 staff and, once the layoffs and reassignments
CASINO EXPANSION STILL EYED Discussions on expansion at Lake City Casinos are progressing, said Michael Graydon, chief executive officer for the B.C. Lottery Corporation (BCLC). With his agency involved once an agreement is reached — BCLC must approve any proposal — Graydon said he understands talks “are moving at a positive direction.” He said the $2 million in renovations done at Hotel 540 last year was “a substantial investment” that can be built on in future development. Renovations included new carpeting and wall treatments, new slot stools and electrionic roulette, as well as adding a secure, heated smoking area. Gateway Casinos, which runs the gambling establishment, announced plans to build a new 45,000-square-foot casino at the location, but those plans were put on hold in 2010. Graydon said any expansion will include food-service options and, likely, an extension of entertainment facilities, as are found at other Gateway casinos in the province. means BCLC is changing some of its internal operations — bringing in a new casino-management system, for example — and improving on
are done, new employees with the skillset BCLC needs will be hired, adding another seven to the department’s size. Earlier media reports
that staff had been offered retraining were wrong, Graydon said. The goal was to retain as many staff as possible. Graydon noted the 14 let go — 13 in Kamloops and one in Vancouver — is less than 10 per cent of the department. Annual attrition at BCLC has been averaging about eight per cent, he said, and the last large layoff before this was in January, when 25 were let go, most in Vancouver. Four were in Kamloops and were involved in the organization’s lottery subscriptions, which are being discontinued because the same result for those buying lottery tickets can be achieved by going online to playnow.com. By eliminating the contractors and bringing the work in-house, BCLC will save about $1 million, Graydon said.

The dark work and colourful lives of Canada’s national executioners
I
T TOOK A CERTAIN KIND OF person to take on the job of public executioner. So, it should be no surprise, then, that the two most prolific hangmen in Canada’s history — and, by extension, that of Kamloops — are also two of the most colourful characters you’ll find in any history book. John Radcliffe and Arthur Ellis carried out hundreds of executions in their respective times as Canadian hangmen — Radcliffe from 1892 until his death sometime after 1910, and Ellis after him between 1913 and 1935. The thing about Radcliffe and Ellis, though, is that not much is officially known about them. Most of the available information comes from news stories at the time of the sentences they were overseeing at the gallows. Dale Brawn, a law professor at Laurentian University in Ontario and the author of Last Moments: Sentenced to Death in Canada, has researched both men extensively for an upcoming project. He said the lives they led were as dark at home as they were on the gallows. “Ironically, both of them were chronic alcoholics who died in hotel rooms,” Brawn told KTW. “I think it was a terrible job and they coped with it by drinking.”
THE HANGED The following men were convicted of murder and had their death sentences carried out in Kamloops (those whose names appear in bold are profiled on this page): 1886: Albert Mallott 1890: Frank Spencer 1899: Casimir 1902: Louis Paquette 1903: Alex Louie 1905: Joshua Bell 1906: Alex Chewilna 1907: James A. Dale 1907: Chun Kee Yow 1908: Francesco Ceddio 1910: Ernest Louis 1910: Basil 1912: S. Takahashi 1912: Walter B. James 1913: Paul Spintlum 1914: Jurcko Onucki 1915: Charles Perrault 1915: Charles Rye 1915: Albert L. Clinger
New era in Canadian capital punishment began in Kamloops On Dec. 12, 1913, Paul Spintlum became the 15th man to be hanged in Kamloops. The execution marked the start of a new era — not necessarily for Kamloops, but for Canada as a whole. That’s because it was the first Canadian hanging officiated by Arthur Ellis, who would work until the mid1930s and eventually gain notoriety as the country’s most famous executioner. In the early 1920s, Ellis purchased an orchard near Kelowna and went into semi-retirement. Ellis — who worked and trained in England and the Middle East before coming to Canada — performed the last of his reported 600 executions in Montreal in 1935, when a weight miscalculation resulted in a condemned woman’s decapitation. In 1938, Ellis died of an alcohol-related illness.
Radcliffe was hired as Canada’s national hangman in 1892 by John Thompson, Canada’s fourth prime minister. One of the original stipulations in his contract with the federal government included a clause that might seem odd today, but was apparently the norm for many hangmen of that time around the world — Radcliffe was entitled to the clothes off the backs of the men he executed. “The fact was he used to make as much

money selling the clothes of the person he hanged as he did for the hangings,” Brawn said. Radcliffe — sometimes spelled “Radclive” — also liked to sell lengths of rope as souvenirs as he travelled the country performing executions. The problem was, the rope used in the hangings themselves was never passed on to the hangmen. X See DRINK A12
Today, Kamloops is known as the Tournament Capital of Canada. But, a century ago, the community was known for something much more grim. In the early 20th century, Kamloops was one of the most active execution points in Canada — even topping the national hanging counts in four separate years. In 1906, 1907, 1912 and 1915, Kamloops sat atop the rankings of Canadian cities when it came to condemned men being executed. In 1906, three men were hanged in Canada — one in Kamloops, one in Victoria and one in Nova Scotia. The following year saw eight Canadian hangings, including two in Kamloops. No other city was home to more than one. In 1912, Kamloops and Montreal each hanged two men. Three other cities hanged one each. The last year hangings were carried out in Kamloops — 1915 — was also the busiest at the local gallows, with three executions. That tally matched New Westminster’s mark for the same year, but no other Canadian city had more than one hanging.

Paquette — sometimes spelled Peaquette — was a regular visitor to Legere’s home in the Shuswap community of Notch Hill and often professed his love for Legere’s wife. Despite this, the friendship continued. On April 26, 1902, Paquette was drunk when he visited the Legere home and was to spend the night. While Legere was preparing a bed for his guest, Paquette shot him at close range and then struck him twice with the rifle’s butt. Paquette was arrested the next day and stood trial in Kamloops. He was convicted and executed in Kamloops by Hangman Radcliffe on June 3, 1902 — just 38 days after Legere’s death.
Prior to the murder, Alex Louie’s wife, Julian, had moved in with her mother at the head of Lake Okanagan to escape ongoing physical abuse at the hands of her husband. Louie passed the house several times daily on horseback in the course of his work, travelling to and from his fields. On April 2, 1903, as Louie rode past his mother-in-law’s home, Julian came out to greet him.
Louie fired one shot, striking Julian. She died the following day. Louie claimed the shooting was an accident, but a jury found him guilty after a trial in Vernon. The nephew of Kamloops Chief Louis, an appeal was filed on Louie’s behalf by Father Lejeune, which delayed his execution by a little more than a month. Hangman Radcliffe carried out the sentence on July 24, 1903.
Bell guilty in stabbing ‘Wild Alex’ tamed by jury Joshua Bell, 32, an American negro, lived with the mother of his child, Annie Allen, in Grand Forks, where she ran a bawdy house. At some point in 1904, she moved to Phoenix, B.C., without him. Bell tracked her down on Aug. 12, 1904, and pleaded with her to return to him. She refused — and he stabbed her to death. He was convicted at trial, but two jurors objected to capital punishment and would only agree to convict Bell if their objections were noted. He was nonetheless executed in Kamloops on Jan. 13, 1905.
On Aug. 13, 1905, Alex Chewilna — also known as “Wild Alex” — was among a group of five Indians playing cards and drinking at Long Lake Creek when Hopkin, the victim, was shot once above the right ear with his own revolver. The other four fled the scene but, court heard, Chewilna later returned to weigh down Hopkin’s body and dump it into Lake Okanagan. He then went into hiding, at which time the other three witnesses reported the murder and helped authorities recover Hopkin’s body from the lake. Chewilna tried at trial to pin the shooting on another man who was present at the time, but it did not sway the jury. He was hanged on Jan. 5, 1906.

What becomes important is what always has been important
I
CALLED MY DAD THIS WEEKEND. It was snowing here and it was snowing in Abbotsford, so I called to talk about the weather, knowing such quintessential Canadian talk would slowly lead to more interesting matters. And, it did, as it does for sons and father and daughters and mothers everywhere, especially when distance and weather and work and life preclude regular visits. A neighbour bumped into his truck, so it’s in the shop. The bloody politicians are ruining this and that and it’s all about money. The Canucks don’t look all that good as the playoffs approach. Buck — his nickname since birth and the monicker by which he is called by everyone, even, sometimes, the six siblings — has engaged in a 20-year battle with a bad ticker. The heart has knocked him to the canvas three or four times, but he has always risen, like a cardiac version of George Chuvalo — bloodied and beaten, but always bouncing up for the next round. Lately, his lungs have become the Muhammad Ali to his Chuvalo and he is now facing a second opponent in this ring of life. It has prompted general talk of getting his affairs in order. It’s a tough battle, but he’s a tough bastard and I wouldn’t bet against him. In the parlance of March Madness, consider him the Lehigh and his traitorous organs the Duke of the human body. Sometimes, the favourites fall. Even so, Buck will readily admit the past decade has been bonus time. Following his second heart
CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom
MUSINGS attack, he was told he had about 10 years or so. Well, he has doubled down and is entering the third decade after the first battle. Still, at 74 and with so many epic skirmishes with mortality leaving their mark, it is not unusual to begin thinking about life and death and what comes next and what becomes of what is left behind. Those are the thoughts of father and son and those are the thoughts understood by both, but masked by criticisms of Roberto Luongo’s goaltending style and predictions on the fading fortunes of the B.C. Liberals. (The bestselling book, Sh*t My Dad Says, could have been written by plunking a tape recorder down next to Buck’s easy chair. You don’t even want to know what he thinks of Finance Minister Kevin Falcon . . . ). But, there is a clarity that comes when your road is no longer seen as an endless ribbon shimmering into the distance, a realization that things will change for you and countless others with whom you are linked. What becomes important then? Certainly not deadlines at work or the volatility of the real-estate market. Certainly not retirement-income cal-
culations or the political scandal du jour. What becomes important is what always was important, though it was obscured by the trivial crap life flings at us constantly. What is important is people, talking, visiting, remembering, reliving, explaining, pondering regrets, embracing decisions — the simply stuff, really. It’s not a revelation. We all know this at 20, at 30, at 40 and beyond. The maddening thing about this life is we nod our heads to this reality when facing a crisis — our own or that of others. The maddening thing is we nod our heads and agree the simple things are the important things — then we return to that life that flings more trivial crap in our direction. What comes next? Nobody knows. Maybe something; perhaps nothing. Buck does have a sense of what might be next. When his heart stopped that first or second time and he was, more or less, clinically dead, he remembers feeling as good as he ever has. He remembers a perfect feeling of bliss, a light (yes, really, a light) toward which he was going. He remembers feeling so good, so, so, so good that he did not want to return to this life. But, he did and he awoke in that hospital and he has answered the bell again and again and again, for 20 years and counting. Spring arrived last night. It’s symbolism is not lost on me at this point of my life. In time, though, it’s just another day and, really, isn’t that the essence of what we all desire? editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter.com/ChrisJFoulds chrisfoulds.blogspot.com
Perhaps you have a teenager who wasn’t home in the wee hours of Monday, March 19. Maybe you have a son or daughter who was at a sleepover somewhere on the North Shore. Maybe you were, like most Kamloopsians, fast asleep and didn’t hear your offspring sneaking out the door. In any event, it would be a good idea to talk and listen and help the Kamloops RCMP find those responsible for a pointless window-smashing spree in the after-midnight hours of Monday. More than 50 windows at Kay Bingham elementary, the Brock Arena and Brocklehurst middle school were smashed. There were no burglaries. There was nothing stolen. The windows were simply smashed for no reason, leading to a repair bill that will climb into the thousands of dollars. Mounties did come across a group of teens in the area, but could not, at that point, tie them to the vandalism spree. However, police are reviewing video-surveillance footage and will, hopefully, identify and charge those responsible for engaging in such a stupid and barbaric act. In the meantime, if you are a parent of teens and you have any reason to suspect they may have been involved, or that they may know who was involved, talk to them. The last thing taxpayers need in this tight economic climate is to foot the considerable bill for foolishness. Let’s find the vandals and ensure they pay every cent of this very expensive exercise in inanity.

Late-night help getting home needed in Kamloops Editor: As a musician and supporter of live music, I’ve had the opportunity to talk with owners and staff of a number of Kamloops pubs, nightclubs and restaurants. One issue that regularly comes up is the marked decrease in customer sales since the implementation of stricter drinking-and-driving laws in 2010. Businesses are facing a shrinking customer base and a substantial decrease in profits.
The problem is not the drinking-and-driving laws. We all agree on safer roads as a goal for our community. However, the city also has an obligation to support local business. Patrons of businesses open into the evening don’t have many options for transportation. Many people would love to go out to support live music, arts and cultural events and sporting events. Many would like to socialize with friends,
family and co-workers, and to enjoy food and drink at licensed establishments. However, Kamloopsians are stymied by a lack of choices for transportation, whether or not they drink alcohol. Kamloops is a large city in area. The cost of a taxi to many neighbourhoods can be even more prohibitive than the cost of gasoline — sometimes in the $40 to $50 range. Choosing a desig-
nated driver in advance is wise, but not always a reality. Often, faced with a lack of alternatives for transportation, drivers who are intoxicated opt to drive anyway, risking the lives of everyone on the road. Many more people simply choose to stay at home. Increasing service and hours for public transportation would improve consumer options for supporting local businesses and

I strongly urge city council to increase public transportation as a pro-business, safetyminded measure for our community — and to approve funding for latenight transit services in Kamloops.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions Editor: I read with some interest Christopher Foulds’ column of March 13 (‘Kony 2012 movement has already made an impact’). As my university son and I have spent some discussions on this subject, and with much of my friends and family contributing to Facebook comments, my position on this April 20 manifestation is somewhat guarded. There is a saying: The road to hell is paved with good intentions. With the Invisible Children (IC) charity, I question its motives. With 10 years of ongoing documentaries and, most likely, high financial expenditures, IC has recently utilized modern communication/social media to reach the world. It has specifically targeted the younger generation, coming into awareness of carnage such as what is happening in Uganda. The beginning of the documentary reads: “Nothing is more powerful than an idea.” How true. With more than 65-million hits
on YouTube, this video went viral. What I found from trying to watch much of it was the rhetoric implanted throughout. Foulds wrote that the excitement of his daughter was proof enough the campaign has already succeeded. My son and daughter have both bought into the program as well, along with a multitude of people. But, let me put this across: If, out of that 65 million hits, only 10 per cent purchase the kit with the posters (for the April 20 campaign), that would equal 6.5 million people times $30 a kit equalling more than $195 million. That does not include contributions or purchase of single items, such as bracelets. This alone amounts to more than $110 million dollars going into IC’s pockets, after the 43 per cent ($84 million) going to their awareness/advocacy program. And, I question where that 43 per cent is truly directed.
All in a very short time. Better than any pyramid scam, I think. Call me cynical. Joseph Kony doesn’t need to be famous; he just needs to be taken down. IC continues to build worldwide mass hype and, despite negative pictures (IC officials holding weapons while posing with SPLA soldiers) displayed on the Internet, is generating an idea that creates a “wealth of information — but for whom? Although this has indeed brought about a viral awareness of these atrocities, putting your money toward an organization such as Save the Children’s Fund, which states, “On average over five years, 82 per cent of our costs are on programs, with 18 per cent spent on fundraising and administration,” would be far more productive. Impressionable minds of our young people can be lead down a wrong path, even with the best of intentions or motives. Sharlene Klein Kamloops

TRU student dies in highway accident A Thompson Rivers University student was the victim in a two-vehicle accident last week on the highway between Kamloops and Vernon. Vernon RCMP say Dina Luisa Salvatore, 37, died when her Chevy car collided with a Jeep towing a trailer that was headed toward Falkland. Salvatore was alone in her vehicle. The two occupants of the Jeep from the Aldergrove area were not injured. Police were called to the accident at 4 p.m. on Thursday, March 15. It occurred on Highway 97, 4.2 kilometres on the Kamloops side of the four-lane stretch of highway between Falkland and Westwold. “The traffic analyst was called to the scene and early indications are the Chevy crossed the centre line and struck the trailer that was being towed,” said RCMP spokesperson
Car, pizza stolen A Kamloops man will likely face serious charges after a pizzadelivery driver was carjacked in Vernon over the weekend, police said. At about 10:30 p.m. on Sunday, March 18, a Domino’s Pizza driver called police to say he had been robbed by two men, who made off with his car and pizza. The driver said he was ambushed, with the two robbers jumping out of the bushes as he made a delivery. The vehicle was located by police in Salmon Arm, who stopped it with a spike belt. The suspects fled on foot, but were arrested. The two alleged robbers — a 20-year-old man from Kamloops and a 33-year-old man from Salmon Arm — were slated to appear in Vernon provincial court yesterday, but had not as of KTW press time.

Today, more than seven-billion people need to fed on the planet and this number is expected to reach nine billion by 2050. To be able to feed everybody, there is the need secure a sufficient quantity of water with an acceptable quality. There is also the need to produce more food using less water and the need to move towards more sustainable diets. The first World Water Day event will take place at the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Research Station at 3015 Ord Rd., at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, March 21st.

Brawn said Radcliffe was once caught in a B.C. hardware store by a local sheriff. The hangman was buying extra rope. “Then he’d sell them as ‘the piece of rope that hanged soand-so,’� he said. Radcliffe was British, but lived in Toronto. Brawn said he worked on the side as a waiter at a yacht club in his hometown, but was fired when a customer recognized him from his other line of work. At the time of Radcliffe’s death, it was reported he had hanged upwards of 150 people. But, Brawn said, that number is hard to verify. He said up-and-coming or lower-tier hangmen would sometimes travel from town to town, working under the names of other, more well-known executioners — “Radcliffe� and “Ellis� being popular choices. Of the 19 hangings in Kamloops, all but two list either Radcliffe or Ellis as the executioner. But, two of the local hangings attributed to Radcliffe — the Sept. 9, 1912, double-execution of S. Takahashi and Walter Boyd James — took place a year after his reported death. However, Brawn said the exact date of Radcliffe’s last hanging is unclear, as are the specifics of his death. Ellis — whose real name was Arthur English — is credited with the final five executions to have taken place in Kamloops, spanning 1913 to 1915, including
his first-ever Canadian hanging on Dec. 12, 1913. Brawn described both hangmen as “braggarts,� but said Ellis was especially obnoxious. “Ellis was a piece of work because he was so proud of what he did,� he said. “He’d go to a bar and ask someone to buy him a drink and say, ‘I bet you don’t know who you’re buying a drink for. If you buy me a drink, I’ll tell you about my job as a hangman.’� Brawn said Ellis used the designation “national hangman,� but he was never officially given the title. “Radcliffe was the only national hangman,� he said.
The boozing part of an executioner’s job in the time of Radcliffe and Ellis wasn’t confined to pubs and bars. Brawn said condemned men were often lubricated with alcohol prior to being hanged. “They did not want the panic, the screaming, the tears and all of this,� he said. “Because it affected the guards, it affected everybody.� The hangmen themselves were definitely not immune. Brawn compared their work — heavy travel, lots of downtime — to much less-dark present-day professions, which are also known to sometimes take a toll on personal lives. “I don’t think it’s much different than hockey players or baseball players or entertainers,� he said. “The social life begins after the competition. I think that’s probably why they drank like they did.� And, like the condemned men they met on the gallows, both hangmen wound up paying with their lives — each eventually succumbing to complications of alcohol-related illnesses. “It’s sort of pathetic in a way,� Brawn said. “But, they regarded themselves as important in the overall scheme of things.�

Lindsay charged with murder By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
The son of a former Edmonton police chief accused of stabbing an undercover Mountie during a Mr. Big sting near Kamloops last fall has now been charged with murder by RCMP in Alberta. Mark Lindsay, who is also alleged to have stabbed his cellmate at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre twice in the eye last October, is facing new counts of second-degree murder, indignity to a body and obstruction of justice — all in relation to the disappearance and death of his former girlfriend, Dana Turner. The charges against the 24-year-old were announced by Alberta Mounties on Thursday, March 15. Turner, 31, went missing in mid-August 2011 — the day after Lindsay finished serving a 50-day sentence in an Edmonton jail for stabbing her in the head. Her mother, Wendy Yurko, told KTW she is happy charges were laid, but thinks Lindsay should have been charged with first-degree murder. “Now I’m absolutely sick because he’ll probably be out of jail in six years,” Yurko said. “I’m just glad they charged him at all, though. My biggest fear was that he was never going to be charged.” Turner’s body was found nearly two months
after she disappeared, in a farmer’s field in central Alberta. By that time, Lindsay was already in custody in Kamloops. On Sept. 21, 2011, he was arrested by Kamloops Mounties after allegedly stabbing an undercover officer in Barriere during the course of an apparent Mr. Big operation — in which police operatives pose as criminals to lure suspects into confessing to crimes. While in custody in Kamloops, Lindsay found himself facing more serious allegations. In October, he was charged after allegedly stabbing his cellmate twice in the eye — once
with a pen and once with a pencil. The incident is alleged to have taken place during a game of Scrabble. Lindsay, the son of former Edmonton police chief John Lindsay, spoke with KTW in a series of jailhouse interviews in December. During the interviews, he refused to answer any questions about Turner’s disappearance, saying only he hadn’t seen her since last summer. Lindsay did admit to taking part in some sort of an altercation with the undercover officer north of Barriere, for which he was arrested. He told KTW he had no idea the man was an undercover cop.
The two apparently met on a Greyhound bus in August. According to Alberta Mounties, Lindsay is now in the process of being transported back to Edmonton from the North Fraser Pretrial Centre in Port Coquitlam. It’s not known when or why he left Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre, where he had been kept in segregation since October. No court date has been set for the new charges, but Lindsay is slated to stand trial in Kamloops twice this summer — once for the alleged Mr. Big stabbing and again in relation to the jailhouse stabbing.

Elderly drivers offered road test option
TAX SEASON IS APPROACHING!
Victoria heard complaints about computer exam By Tom Fletcher
Attorney-General Shirley Bond said those who have failed the on-screen test in the past six months will be offered a free road test, using a test car with dual brakes. Tom Fletcher/Black Press

Drivers older than 80 who fail a computerized test of their mental ability will now be offered a road test before they have to surrender their licences. Attorney General Shirley Bond announced the road test option on Monday, March 19, after hearing complaints from people who lost their driving privileges based on a computer test called DriveABLE. Some elderly people with little computer experience found the touch-screen tests of cognitive ability to be unfamiliar and an unfair way to test them. The DriveABLE test is administered on referral from doctors who detect cognitive impairment in patients that may affect their driving. Bond said those who failed the on-screen test in the past six months will be offered a free road test, using a test car with dual brakes. Those who failed more than six months ago have to see their doctor before being reassessed. Bond also announced that a new DriveABLE assessment centre will be opened in Cranbrook, bringing to

18 the number of locations in B.C. A new mobile service is also in the works, so people in rural areas don’t have to travel as far to be tested. The DriveABLE test uses a terminal with a touch screen to measure mental abilities. In the first stage, the driver holds down a button until a shape appears on either the left of right side of the screen. The subject has to release the button and touch the shape as quickly as possible, to test reaction time and accuracy of movement. Another stage tests ability to notice changes at the edge of the field of vision, simulating pedestrians and traffic signs. The test subject must make a decision about a word in the centre of the screen, and also report the location of a target that appears at the same time in a different area of the screen.

Ben King (left), David Smale and Andy Mitchell have joined rock veterans Jim McCarty and Chris Dreja in the reformed The Yardbirds. The band plays in Kamloops on Friday, April 13.
The Yardbirds — rock of all ages “But, yes, they’re young. One of them told me his mom was just five when The Yardbirds started.” That was back in 1963, when a group of musicians in England came together, did a few gigs as the Blue-Sounds, then changed their name, drawing the inspiration from both the writings of Jack Kerouac — he used the word to describe hobos hanging around railyards waiting for trains — and in homage of jazz saxophonist Charlie “Yardbird” Parker.

IM MCCARTY LAUGHS AT THE QUESTION. After all, it’s a natural one to ask a man who started in rock in the mid-1960s and whose band now includes musicians in their early 20s. “Yes, they’re young,” McCarty says, “but they’re very good musicians — and they’ve got the energy that we need.
McCarty, the band’s drummer, came to music via a highschool band that preferred a playlist of Elvis Presley, The Everly Brothers and Gene Vincent. But, once he heard the Mississippi blues of Jimmy Reed, “I knew that was really the music I wanted to play.” The Yardbirds steeped the music in the blues, McCarty says, but experimented with other genres and techniques, as well.

Touring’s still fun — in shorter outings X From A17
The band was one of the first to experiment with feedback, distortion and variations on amplification, for example, and McCarty in particular became known for his innovative drumming style. And, as rock fans know, The Yardbirds also provided a musical stop for guitar icons Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page and gave the world songs like For Your Love, Heart Full of Soul, Over Under Sideways Down and Shape of Things. When the band broke up in 1968, McCarty stayed with music, joining Renaissance, Shoot, Illusion, Pilgrim, the British Invasion All-Stars and his own Jim McCarty Band. In the mid-1990s, McCarty was approached by a management company to reform the band, but wouldn’t do it unless original co-founder Chris Dreja would agree. Once that happened, the pair added some new musicians and headed out on tour with the reformed Animals.
“I remember one time when we were on tour with the Animals,” McCarty says, “and I was quite shocked because one of the places we were playing was a casino. “I thought, ‘This is really odd’ because we were playing in the middle of all these machines. “It was very strange but it was very good, too. They are quite nice places to play.” Although he’s well into his sixth decade of living, McCarty says touring isn’t so bad because it’s nothing like it was when the band first hit it big. “It’s not full on like in the ‘60s, when we were playing every night relentlessly. “Now, we do eight or 10 dates and then we have a rest, which really suits me.” They still tour, though, because “we all love to play” and the shows cross generations, with fans who, like some of the new band members, weren’t even born when the Yardbirds first hit the road.

memories for McCarty who, just a few years ago recorded Sitting on the Top of Time there. “I used to do some tours of the [United] States and then I’d go up to Toronto to do the album.” Asked to pick his favourite Yardbird song, McCarty doesn’t hesitate. “Shape of Things,” he says. “I think it incorporates all the best bits of The Yardbirds. “It’s a good song that highlights the lead guitarist [Jeff Beck, when it was first recorded] and has some interesting time changes and rhythms. “And, we all wrote it together. I think it really highlights the ‘60s.” The Yardbirds are at the Kamloops Convention Centre on Friday, April 13, for a 19-plus show.

FUNDING FOR STUDENTS, NOT FOR WAGE HIKES. The BCTF is demanding a 15 per cent wage hike and other benefits that would cost $2 billion and raise taxes for BC families. Virtually all other public sector unions have settled for no wage increases. It’s unacceptable that schools are disrupted and that students and their families are inconvenienced over an unreasonable salary demand in difficult economic times. The union is making claims and demands that simply don’t add up.
BCTF CLAIMS AND DEMANDS
FACT
The union wants more paid time outside the classroom – sick leave for teachers on call, expanded bereavement and discretionary leave.
The government wants more time for teacher training and to ensure that Pro-D days really are for professional development.
The union says all teaching positions should be selected on the basis of seniority.
The government supports seniority but qualifications must also count so that math teachers teach math, and science teachers teach science.
The union says that teachers who perform poorly in evaluations will be dismissed – ‘one strike and you’re out’.
The government wants to support teacher improvement through a standardized evaluation process.
The union says that government refuses to negotiate.
There has been over a year of negotiations and 78 full bargaining sessions.
The union says that class size limits have been eliminated.
Class size limits will remain in place on all grades across BC.
The union says that BC has 700 fewer special needs teachers.
2100 new teaching assistants have been hired since 2001. And, with a new $165 million Learning Improvement Fund, we will hire more.
It’s time to focus on what matters most in education – BC’s students. That’s why we are focused on per-student funding which is at an all time high, not on wage increases. We all want to do more to make BC’s education system even better. It’s the driving force behind BC’s Education Plan that teachers, parents and students are helping to shape. Teachers care about their students. Parents care about their children’s future.

Technology points to self-driving vehicles
Hyundai teases with Santa Fe Hyundai has unveiled exterior teaser images of the new Santa Fe, which had been known by its code name DM in Korea. The Santa Fe will have its world premiere at the New York International Auto Show in early April. The Santa Fe, which is entering its third generation, has reached worldwide cumulative sales of about 2.56million units since its 2000 debut. Based on Hyundai’s design philosophy, the Santa Fe adopts its own design concept called “Storm Edge,” which captures the strong and dynamic images created by nature during the formation of a storm. The third-generation Santa Fe fea-
tures sophisticated and refined lines, which are in harmony with bold and voluminous surfaces, completing a more aggressive and classic look than its predecessor. The design adopts the hexagonal grille — a key design cue of the Hyundai family look — a two-tone, voluminous bottom car body and wider front and rear bumpers, creating a futuristic and urban-style SUV image. Dynamic side character lines give a more aerodynamic feeling, while emotional details expressed on the exterior design deliver a premium image, suggesting a new design direction for Hyundai’s next-generation SUVs.
Thanks to its low weight, exceptional aerodynamic quality, very low driving resistance and its highly efficient powertrain, FT-Bh can achieve an average 134.5 m.p.g. fuel consumption and 49g/km CO2 emissions. “Ecomotion” was the theme for styling FT-Bh, with its shape demonstrating a new approach to bodywork design. Key panels like the roof are formed to represent the way fabric can be stretched taut between fastening points, to reflect their ultra-light weight. Like Toyota, Suzuki showed the G70 concept, which demonstrates new vision for a compact car incorporating minimized weight and elaborate dynamics. The G70 weighs just 730 kilograms and has a drag coefficient at least
10 per cent lower than that of a current Suzuki ‘A’ segment model. As a direct result of overall weight reduction and the use of a highly efficient gasoline engine, CO2 emissions are as low as 70 g/km (measured in the European Driving Cycle). You’ve got to hand it to Mini. It keeps coming up with new twists — and the Clubvan concept is the latest. It is designed to combine the driving fun for which Mini is renowned with
increased load-carrying capability. The closed-off load area behind the front seats and the opaque rear side windows of the new concept set it apart from the regular Mini Clubman. Limiting the Clubvan concept to two seats creates capacity and opens up a whole new world of customization potential. The load compartment of the Mini Clubvan Concept provides the maximum amount of interior space on the smallest possible footprint.

Vikes claim BCIHL title at Memorial By Marty Hastings SPORTS REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Victoria Vikes ended the Simon Fraser University Clan’s quest for a third-straight British Columbia Intercollegiate Hockey League title on Sunday, March 18, at Memorial Arena. Dustin Taylor of the Vikes wired a wrist shot past Clan goaltender Graeme Gordon 24
seconds into the first overtime period, giving Victoria a 4-3 win. “Words can’t describe it,” Taylor told reporters after the game. “It just feels good.” Jason Margolus was the winning netminder, making 14 saves on 17 shots The Vikes entered the tournament as underdogs in the No. 4 seed. Victoria posted a 4-0 record at the tour-
nament, winning two games in shootouts and the championship in an extra frame. “I’m so proud of them,” Vikes head coach Harry Schamhart said. “They’re here because they wanted to win and because they love hockey.” The tournament’s host team — the TRU WolfPack — was eliminated after losing twice in round-robin play.

South Kam Titan Wolfram’s basketball future is a bright one By Marty Hastings SPORTS REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
E
MMA WOLFRAM has always been taller than her friends and, when on the basketball court, she is usually a cut above the rest. The 6-foot-5 South Kamloops secondary centre made a statement — well, two of them — in the B.C. AAA senior girls’ basketball championship final in North Vancouver earlier this month. “We were up by one, 62-61, and all I knew is our defence had to win it for us,” said Wolfram, whose Titans were in a knock-down drag-out battle for provincial gold with the York House Tigers of Vancouver. “When they come into the key, that’s when I like it.” And come into the key they did. Two of the Tigers’ best players — Alisha Roberts and Cherub Lum, both of whom Wolfram has played with on Team B.C. at summer tournaments — tried to shoot over the towering centre. Swat. The first shot was rejected. Swat. The second attempt denied. Nine seconds later, the Titans — Wolfram is the first to acknowledge every member of her team contributed — had won their first AAA senior girls’ basketball title since 1964. Those blocks were not just heard by those in attendance at
Capilano College. They echoed across the North American basketball world. Wolfram played for Canada at the 2011 Pan American Games in Mexico in October. She led Team B.C. to a silver-medal finish at the Canadian under17 championships in Winnipeg in August of 2011, and was part of the Canadian women’s cadet team that placed third at a world qualifier in Mexico last June. The list of NCAA Division I schools interested in Wolfram’s services is ever-growing — Gonzaga of Spokane, Stanford of California, Colorado, Oregon State and Washington State, to name a few. The obvious question — where does the shooting basketball star want to go? “I know I want to stay on the west coast, so all my family can come and see me,” said Wolfram, who plans to study physiotherapy. Wolfram is young, talented and her future shines brighter than the gold medal she picked up at provincials — but it all could have been so much different. “It was Christmas day,” Wolfram recalled. “I went driving with my dad to bring my gifts to my noni, or my grandma, and we hit black ice on the way down and our car hit a pole.” Wolfram, who has a learner’s licence, was heading down the Old Merritt Highway by the Esso when she lost control. “Our car [a Yukon] is totalled now, but I just
came out with a concussion.” Her dad, the only other passenger, was unharmed. “We were pretty lucky,” she said. The effects of the concussion had subsided by the time she took the court for provincials, and the accident was the furthest thing from her mind. Wolfram’s mother, Jane, was on the last senior girls’ Titans squad
to reach a provincial final — in 1978. She was part of South Kam’s coaching staff this season, and was one of the first to greet her daughter after the final whistle blew to signal victory. “We were just hugging,” said Wolfram, a born-and-bred Kamloopsian who attended Summit elementary. “It was just excitement.” After the post-victory

Chase Schaber, Bronson Maschmeyer and Brandon Herrod are in a position to achieve greatness in the final season of their WHL careers. The 20-year-old contingent (Schaber turned 21 on Jan. 3) of the Kamloops Blazers are part of a team that went from last in the B.C. Division in 2010-2011 to first in 2011-2012. “The way we were able to change the culture in the dressing room and come together as one was tremendous, and it showed out on the ice this season,” said Schaber, who was traded to Kamloops from Calgary in January of 2010. Kamloops is hosting the Victoria Royals in Game 1 of a bestof-seven Western Conference quarter-final series on Friday, March 23, at Interior Savings Centre. The Blazers’ elder statesmen are wellaware this is their last kick at the can.

“It’s going to be in the back of all of our minds,” said Herrod, who played only six post-season games in four-and-a-half years of service with the Prince Albert Raiders before coming to Kamloops in December. “We have to play desperate hockey because every night could be our last.” Schaber, a Red Deer product, has had time to reflect on his junior career of late. “When you’re 20 and it’s your last year, you start thinking about your life and all the
years you’ve played junior hockey,” said the centreman, who was part of the Calgary Hitmen squad that lost to Kelowna in the 2009 WHL final. “I remember it like yesterday when I was a 16-year-old going to training camp. “I’ve been wanting to be a part of a team like this for a long time — for my whole junior career.” Maschmeyer was on the Vancouver Giants’ team that finished the 2008-2009 WHL season with 119 points and lost in the Western Conference final. He did not see the ice during that playoff run and was traded to the River City prior to the 2009-2010 campaign. The Bruderheim, Alta., product, who set career highs in goals (15) and points (43) this season, will feature prominently on the Blazers’ blue-line throughout the 2012 post-season. “It’s just nice to have that feeling back when you show up to the

Spring Cleaning Street Sweeping Notice Starting in March, weather permitting, City crews will begin spring sweeping of streets in the valley bottom and working into the higher elevations throughout the City. The Spring Sweeping program on average requires 6 to 8 weeks to complete.

rink and you believe in your team,” the Blazer D-man said of his club’s 180-degree turnaround. Schaber did not make any specific predictions, but the Blazers’ captain had a determined look in his eye when he said, “We are going to take it deep into the playoffs.” Kamloops has to
live up to its captain’s expectations for this season to be considered a success, Maschmeyer said. “Really, this means nothing if we don’t go deep,” he said. “All this work is still for nothing.” Puck-dop on Friday is scheduled for 7 p.m.
In an effort to reduce sweeping time and costs, signs will be posted in the areas that are being swept advising the public not to park on the street. Some high density areas will have parking restrictions posted and/or notices delivered in advance of sweeping, for example, downtown east. Residents who wish to sweep the area in front of their property are advised to remove the pile of sand accumulated as these piles can damage a sweeper, and operators are instructed to swerve around such piles. Your co-operation is appreciated. Inquiries can be made by calling 250-828-3461.

had won the title, success from a season’s worth of coaching and listening and putting into practice that which had been repeated week after week. But, the real championship was conveyed after the game — and throughout the season — through subtle and not-sosubtle nudging from Mark, Garnet and Cody, the Sharks’ coaching staff. As the Sharks, sweaty and smiling and giddy from winning the big game, settled around the

table in the arena, eyeing a plate full of cupcakes, they were given a lesson in life. “There are two kinds of people in this world,” Mark told his youngsters. “There are givers and takers. Believe me, you want to be in the first group.” Mark then explained why it is good to be a giver, how to spot a taker — and the importance of becoming the former and avoiding the latter. It is a lesson not normally associated with the national pas-
time, but it is an education more important than anything imparted within the blue lines. However, it is also a lesson associated with the action within the blue lines and could be seen in each game involving the Sharks, with lines rolling onto and off the ice with mesmerizing regularity, the kids’ total ice time equal to one another to within a second. On this team, each Shark was a giver. As the season neared an end, the

HE LIFE lessons learned on the ice and in the dressing room are those that have little to do with left-side locks, power plays or dump-and-chase strategies. The lessons learned will, hopefully, be retained in the brains of these nine- and 10-year-olds, to be recalled a few years later when they can fully understand their meaning — and use them wisely, to be passed on to another generation. They are the Sharks, a group of kids, boys and girls, who were cobbled together in October, amid skates, sticks, gloves and loud dressing-room music. The assumed aim of this atom recreational season was to play the national winter game and get better as the months progressed, with the ultimate goal on ice being inclusion in the Kamloops Minor Hockey Association’s remarkable Night of Champions in March. On that night, the top two teams in the atom, pee wee bantam and midget divisions square off for the Tournament Capital title. This season, these Sharks progressed and progressed, fighting through the playoffs and reaching the Night of Champions. At the end of 60 minutes, the Sharks

The Little Unicorn by Peggy Kociscin,Albuquerque, New Mexico
But, as he grew and learned of life, The sparkle in his eye Grew misty as he realized Just what it means to cry.
The unicorn tried tirelessly, And gave the climb his best; But he felt it was not good enough, He felt he’d failed the test.
He learned that there are shadows In spite of shining sun. The more he grew, he found that life Was never always fun.
He could not understand it When he felt himself rejected – When all his gentle being asked Was but to be accepted.
For now he’d learn of feelings That come from deep within; No longer in the “dream world” Where (for so long) he’d been.
All this was just too much for him, He knew not what to do. That he was special as himself, Somehow, he never knew.
His gentle heart desired But to know the pleasure of To give and to receive The very precious gift of love.
He laughed and played with rainbows, So happy all day through, He loved to kiss the flowers As their petals shone with dew.
His spirit crushed, he felt defeated, And lonely tears would start. Not understanding how to love, It simply broke his heart.
To love meant to be happy, And yet it also brought him pain; For those he loved could hurt him Again.. and yet again.
He wandered through the meadows In the moon’s soft, silver light. He loved to gaze at all the stars That lightened up the night.
His mother held him lovingly And tried to ease his fears About the sadness life could bring... The lonely, bitter tears.
But now he’s in a loving place Where all his pain has ceased, Where all accepted him and his love, Where all he knows is peace.
He listened to the music Of the birds that graced the trees. He frolicked with the butterflies And raced the gentle breeze.
She said, “Life is like a mountain, (And surely this is true) That we must climb as best we can. There’s no ‘around or ‘through.’”
There lived a little unicorn (From when the earth was new), His coat so white it glistened, His eyes a sparkling blue. In innocence and beauty, He danced through woods and streams. The animals danced with him, His heart aglow with dreams.
A loving Being tells him, “You’re delightful as you are.” His spirit free, his brilliance now Outshines the brightest star!
