STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

OR 12 MONTHS, A string of suspicious fires has plagued Kamloops neighbourhoods from Westsyde to Valleyview. When the blazes began worrying officials in April 2011, and for months afterward, investigators said they believed it was likely the fires were all related — the work of a single arsonist or a group of firebugs working together. That is no longer the case. “There’s probably three, maybe four different individuals or groups of individuals setting these fires,” Kamloops Fire Rescue chief fire prevention officer Dean Olstad told

MANUFACTURER’S

Kamloops This Week. “We work with the RCMP and we track these incidents,” Olstad said. “We work very closely with them in regard to evidence we find.” Most of the 50-plus suspicious fires since last April have been relatively minor — mainly damage to sheds, garbage cans, fences or hedges. But, some instances have been more serious. Last month, a fire in a duplex on Clearwater Avenue in North Kamloops killed a family dog. Police labelled it an arson and said the suspect went so far as to break into the home to set the blaze. The ranging methods and targets of the fires have kept authorities on their toes.

Dr. Christopher Sladden, a Kamloops dermatologist, is angry about the fees the provincial government pays, rates that he said have not changed in years. Dermatologists, Sladden wrote in a letter to B.C. Health Minister Michael de Jong, “are facing significant increasing costs for rent, wages for our staff and for all of the supplies in our offices.” Dave Eagles/KTW

Dermatologist will quit practice this summer By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Nearing 50 years of age, Dr. Christopher Sladden has been talking with financial advisors about his future. The one message he’s received loud and clear, Sladden said, is his current business model isn’t working— and, the Kamloops dermatologist blames that on the provincial government and the B.C. Medical Association (BCMA) for allowing fees paid to his specialty to stagnate for years. “I think people are seeing me as some greedy doctor,” Sladden said, “but I’m one of the first to stand up and be counted.”

Sladden, who works with dermatologist Dr. Richard Lewis at 712 Seymour St., said he has written a letter to provincial Health Minister Michael de Jong, explaining he plans to quit his practice at the end of July. His reasons are many, but one of the main ones is the fee schedule paid to dermatologists through the province’s medical services plan (MSP), a schedule that has not increased in years although dermatologists “are facing significant increasing costs for rent, wages for our staff and for all of the supplies in our offices,” Sladden explained in the letter, copies of which are available at his office for patients. Many of the patients he sees are dealing with cancerous skin

growths, Sladden said. He said he can bill MSP $60 for the first consultation to diagnose any such growth and $40 to remove it. The overhead cost for such a procedure is about $40, he said, and the tax on income is another $20 to $30, leaving a net income of about $30 for treating the cancer. Sladden takes issue with information provided to the media by the health ministry after his resignation was reported on by the CBC. In particular, he’s angry at the use of average and high billings provided without context and the ministry’s inclusion that dermatologists can augment their salaries through cosmetic procedures paid

for by private insurers. The ministry noted in its information the average MSP billing by a B.C. dermatologist last year was $440,000. Sladden billed for $369,377 last year. Billed amounts do not take into consideration expenses, overhead and all the costs of running a practice, amounts that have continued to increase through the years, Sladden said. And, in his own case, Sladden — formerly a general practitioner in his native England and then in Clearwater — chose to go back to school for three years to specialize in dermatology, noting the shortage of doctors with that specialty in the province and, in particular, in the

Interior. There are now just four dermatologists in the Interior — and Lewis has been in semi-retirement for years. Another in Penticton is also nearing retirement age, Sladden said. His return to school brought with it a three-year relocation to Vancouver for his studies while his wife and young children remained in Kamloops, loss of income during those years — Sladden billed MSP $86,794 in 2010-2011, before he was one of just 16 in the country to pass certification in dermatology — and significant debt to staff and equip his dermatological practice X See DOCTOR A10

Police seek driver in fatal collision dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops Mounties have sent a bulletin to police across B.C. and Alberta, asking they keep an eye out for any blood or damage on transport trucks after a fatal collision in Valleyview over the weekend. John Waldo Teed, a 73-year-old Kamloops man, was killed after he was struck by a vehicle near westbound Exit 375 on the Trans-Canada Highway â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the turn-off into downtown Kamloops â&#x20AC;&#x201D; some time after 1 a.m. on Saturday, April 28. Investigators believe Teed was lying on the side of the highway when he was struck. Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said police believe the vehicle involved was a large transport truck.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lug-nut covers and other fragments recovered at the scene indicate that the suspect vehicle would likely have damage and blood stains to the right front tire area,â&#x20AC;? he said, noting police in B.C. and Alberta have been asked to check all truck stops and weigh scales for vehicles displaying damage, blood stains or other physical evidence. An RCMP collision analysis team examined the scene and came to the conclusion Teed was already on the ground when he was struck. Learned said investigators believe a small portion of Teedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upper body was lying over the fog line within the westbound travel lane of Highway 1 when he was struck. Learned added it is possible the driver of the truck didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize he or she hit something. An autopsy will determine

whether Teed suffered a medical emergency prior to the incident or if he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Police interviewed Teedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family members, who said he was in good health. Investigators were told Teed did not drink or use drugs, but would sometimes purchase liquor for homeless people in Valleyview. It is believed Teed was delivering booze to homeless people at the time of the collision as Mounties found an unbroken bottle of liquor at the scene. Police are asking any truckers who were in the area between midnight and 1:30 a.m. on Saturday, April 28 to contact them. Anyone with information is asked to call Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Learned said an officer saw the man reach behind him, presumably for a weapon, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when the Taser was deployed. The suspect was taken to Royal Inland Hospital for treatment of injuries suffered as a result of the Taser jolt. No firearms were found in a search of the home, but officers did find a box cutter, which, Learned said, is what the suspect was reaching for. Police also found about $4,000 worth of crack cocaine in the home, in addition to a small marijuanagrow operation. Learned said the suspect will likely face charges of assault causing bodily harm in relation to the alleged domestic assault that brought police to the home in the first place, while drug charges are also likely. The manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s common-law wife also received treatment at RIH for injuries suffered the previous night.

Kamloops standoff ends with Tasering of man Kamloops Mounties used a Taser to subdue and eventually arrest a man after a tense eight-hour standoff early Monday morning (April 30). At about 11:55 p.m. on Sunday, April 29, police went to a home in the 700-block of East Shuswap Road to arrest a suspect in a domestic assault. Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned said the 30-year-old suspect barricaded himself in an upstairs bedroom, telling officer he had a firearm and would start shooting unless police left the house. The manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 14-year-old daughter was also in the house at the time. He allowed her to leave at about 1:15 a.m. The standoff continued, with about six officers surrounding and inside the home. Just before 8 a.m., Learned said, the suspect left the bedroom to use the washroom. When he was walking back into the bedroom, he was confronted by police.

Tranquille project growing By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A housing project slated for the historic tuberculosis-sanatorium lands on Tranquille Road is beginning to bear fruit. Or, rather, vegetables. While the village-style development is still years away from construction, the organic farm that anchors the project is up and running. Starting Saturday, May 26, the Tranquille Farm’s produce will go on sale in a new farmers’ market space that will run on weekends to the end of summer. The neighbourhood plan for the Tranquille on the Lake development will also head to city council this month. “This sets the vision for the next 30 or 40 years, so, it’s really a key issue,” said development manager Tim McLeod. “Once this is behind there, then zoning will take place. Then we’ll do a phased development agreement, then start to build.” The updated plan was on

display on April 26 at a downtown open house McLeod said was meant to give council and the public an opportunity to see where the plan is at now. Tranquille on the Lake could include up to 2,000 residential units, which would include apartment, townhome and singlefamily dwellings and seasonal houses. While past plans for the site included an 18-hole golf course, McLeod said it was written out of the latest draft to save more space for the organic farm and orchard that will cover about 60 per cent of the 191-hectare property. “There’s a huge groundswell of people looking for good-quality food,” he said. “They’re really concerned about it and they want to live where that food is.” A marina planned for the village has also become a “working waterfront,” which McLeod said could include boat-repair and fishing shops. “It’s more of a West Coast

feel,” he said. “So, on a Saturday morning, you take your latte and you can go along the beachfront and enjoy it.” If council finds favour with the development, McLeod estimated it will take about a year to get through the regulatory process and two more years to get the first phase of the project to the move-in stage. On the farming side, owners B.C. Wilderness Tours are also drafting a farm plan for the province’s Agricultural Land Commission, which functions much as its neighbourhood plan does. The company is still hoping to take a portion of its property out of the Agricultural Land Reserve and replace it with non-ALR lands McLeod said are bettersuited to farming. In addition to granting approval for the farmers’ market, the commission has already agreed to an on-site RV park. The full neighbourhood plan is available at tranquille.ca.

“There’s a difficulty in linking them together because there’s no real calling card,” Olstad said. “But, we keep a databank of all these incidents that we find suspicious and we share information with the RCMP.” The Clearwater Avenue example stands out not just because of its severity, but also because of the result of the investigation that followed. It culminated in an arrest — a youth, who cannot be identified under provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act — which has been a rarity for investigators looking in to the blazes. “There have been arrests in different

fires, but we think those have been sort of one-off incidents,” said Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned. Police, Learned said, have taken the suspicious fires seriously — but, there’s no ongoing investigation. “We review all the fires that have come in,” he said. “It’s not like they’re out there following hot leads, but they are aware of all the files that have come in.” Both Mounties and firefighters are preparing for potential problems posed by suspicious fires as the temperatures rise and the risk for devastating wildfires increases. Learned said police

have already held preliminary meetings dealing with whatifs as fire season approaches and Olstad said Kamloops Fire Rescue crews will be on high alert heading into the hot months. “For us, people going and intentionally lighting fires when it’s dry, that’s dangerous,” he said. “People are out lighting fires with no reason for it and the chance of wildland fires is increasing.” Anyone with information about any of the suspicious fires in the last 12 months is asked to call Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. If you spot a fire, call 911 immediately.

Froese pleads guilty

Assessment ordered before return to court in June Police said at the time Froese stole the woman’s truck to get away with her. Froese has a long criminal record, including multiple convictions for violent sexual offences, and has served lengthy terms in federal institutions. According to parole docuJACK FROESE ments, he has refused treatment in the past.

The convicted rapist arrested after a Kamloops woman was kidnapped, drugged and sexually assaulted last year has pleaded guilty. Jack Froese entered guilty pleas to charges of kidnapping and sexual assault. The Crown is not proceeding on the remaining counts of administering a noxious substance and theft of a motor vehicle. The 31-year-old was arrested on Nov. 25, 2011 — one day after a woman working in a Tranquille Road store was abducted, drugged and sexually assaulted over a period of hours.

released from a federal prison and took up residence with family in Kamloops, he was the subject of a rare warning from the RCMP. Police released his picture, a list of some of his past offences and the conditions he was to abide by in the community. After he was arrested in November, Kamloops RCMP Supt. Yves Lacasse said Mounties checked in on Froese 146 times in the 147 days he was living in Kamloops. The Crown would not comment on whether they would be seeking a dangerous offender or long-term offender designation for Froese. He is slated to undergo an assessment, and return to court on June 25.

The life of one MP: Like winning the lottery and robbing a bank

ARLIER THIS YEAR, I penned a column in which I noted getting elected as an MP or appointed as a senator is generally akin to winning a lottery. The salary for an MP is outstanding ($158,000) and even more generous when the MP is tasked with extra duties. For example, cabinet ministers get an additional $75,000 a year from taxpayers, ministers of state receive an extra $57,000 from taxpayers, parliamentary secretaries are afforded a bonus of $16,000 from taxpayers and government caucus chairs get another $11,000 from taxpayers. Add to this well-to-do salary a pension plan that can only be called obscene (what other job results in a $30,000 pension for six years’ work?) and “hitting the lottery” is just about the perfect description. Shortly after publishing the column, Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod, send me a tweet on Twitter, taking issue with some of my descriptions of an MP’s workload. I may have been a bit flippant in suggesting MPs earn a wealthy salary by sending out positive press releases, hosting cabinet ministers for positive photo-ops and cutting ribbons at positive events. McLeod suggested she and I trade jobs for a week, so I can experience first-hand the job of an MP. If the offer came from McLeod’s Conservative colleague, International Development Minister Bev Oda, I might have jumped at the suggestion.

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom

MUSINGS After all, how often does one get the opportunity to essentially steal from taxpayers, to act no different than a common thief, and escape any sanctions? Oda should have been charged with theft; instead, her hubris-filled visit to London, England, doesn’t even warrant demotion from cabinet or even a public tongue-lashing from her boss, Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Nor, as far as I can tell, have her odious actions elicited the slightest criticism from her party peers. To review: Oda was in London in June 2011 to attend a conference focused on vaccination and immunization of children in developing countries. The conference was being held at the five-star Grange St. Pauls Hotel, where Oda had rooms waiting. Instead, she chose to upgrade to the spectacularly lavish Savoy and chose to hire a limousine to ferry her to and from the Grange St. Pauls, billing thousands of dollars extra to taxpayers. This theft of public funds would have remained out of the public eye

had the Canadian Press not exposed it by perusing travel documents. That Oda offered a forced (and fake) apology and that she pledged to repay some of the extra costs is irrelevant; she would have done neither had she not been caught cheating the taxpayer. Remember, this is the very same entitled MP who billed taxpayers $5,400 for limo use while attending the 2006 Juno Awards in Halifax. This is the very same self-righteous MP who compiled $11,000 in limousine bills during her first 15 months as a cabinet minister. This is the very same ethically challenged MP who falsified documents and misled Parliament about doing so in relation to adding the word “not” to a funding order authorized by Canadian International Development Agency officials. Through it all, Oda remains in cabinet, continues to receive a salary fit for a queen and will, in all likelihood, continue to stick her head in the taxpayer trough — again and again. Obviously, getting elected to Parliament is akin to winning a lottery and, as Oda has shown, it is also not unlike robbing a bank while being granted immunity from prosecution. It’s utterly disgusting to know we are all contributing to a disgraceful MP’s get-rich-quick scheme, while far too many Canadians are under immense stress to avoid bankruptcy at the end of each day. Every day Oda goes to sleep without being punished is one more day Harper’s Conservatives have further damaged their credibility. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

The fact Jack Froese may one day be a free man sums up what is wrong with laws in Canada. There is much that is right about the Canadian justice system and rehabilitating those who can (and should) be rehabilitated is one such positive. Unfortunately, there is that which is wrong in the Canadian justice system and Jack Froese is a living, breathing example. As outlined on page A7 of today’s edition of KTW, Froese is a serial rapist who was released from prison last year and arrived in Kamloops to live with family. Why he received such a laughably short sentence after a horrific rape in Saskatchewan is a question the sentencing judge and Canada’s justice minister should answer. Regardless, Froese landed in Kamloops and was immediately the subject of a police warning. Kamloops RCMP checked on him 146 times in 147 days and Froese was arrested for breaching court conditions. Still, he remained free on Nov. 24, 2011, when he kidnapped a woman from a North Kamloops store and held her for hours on end, sexually assaulting her. In Kamloops Law Courts on Monday, April 30, Froese pleaded guilty to sexual assault and kidnapping and will be sentenced in June. First, though, he must undergo an evaluation, which will be used to determine whether he will be deemed a dangerous offender and given an indefinite sentence. Seriously, is an evaluation really needed? Must more money and time be wasted on probing the mind of a sexual predator who cannot be fixed? Could the justice system not be improved significantly by acting on the obvious and simply doing what is right for society as soon as the guilty plea left Froese’s lips? Is there truly any rational reason to delay sentencing and obtain information from an evaluation? How hard is it to acknowledge those who are not able to be rehabilitated and impose an indefinite sentence right then and there?

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online

Re: Letter: Teacher workloads an issue: “We have a problem in B.C. “It appears the unions are trying to run the province and I feel Premier Christy Clark should bring in right-towork legislation before the next election. “If the NDP gets back in, we can kiss the province good-bye. “To listen to the teachers’ union, you would think teachers are doing a super job. “If this is so, why is it that Sylvan is thriving and can guarantee a higher grade in 30 hours? “They are using the same teachers and don’t seem to have the problems the union members have.” — posted by Chuck Pittman “We have a rightwing government in power and it is time to change. “We are probably the highest-taxed place in all of Canada and it is time the people of B.C. got a better shake. “Whoever gets in should remember to give more to the people of British Columbia. “With the B.C.

Council’s bark worse than fee bite Editor: By charging a fee of $350 to dog owners who register their third dog, Mayor Peter Milobar and the majority of councilors are bending and/or changing our bylaws for certain people. Of the dozen cases in which council has allowed this to happen, more than one-quarter of residents have asked for financial assistance to pay for the licence, as stated in KTW. If they can’t afford the licence, how the heck are they going to be able to feed and care for these dogs? Do they have any idea what a

visit to the veterinarian costs? Do they have a clue as to the cost of decent dog food? We have trouble enough with neighbours who have two barking dogs and who are either deaf or have no control over the noise from these dogs (with no help from the city’s bylaws department). In some cases, two dogs are too many. I don’t understand Milobar’s quote: “What’s happening in the neighbourhoods really won’t change.” I think neighbourhoods will change.

I agree with Coun. Nancy Bepple — if council does it for a few, council will have to do it for all. I don’t think city councillors truly understand pet lovers. If people can’t afford the licence fee for a third dog and this is the way council is going to track them, I believe more and more dog lovers will just buy two licences, no matter how many dogs they have. Council has indeed opened the doggy door! Judie Rix Kamloops

Disappointed with coverage of Kony 2012 campaign Editor: I was disappointed to read such a negative spin on the Kony 2012 efforts in our city (‘From Cover the Night to trick or treat,’ April 19). How often is it our children and teens become genuinely interested in global issues such as this? They care because they can relate to Jospeh Kony’s victims, who are children and youth just like them. This article could have been used as a motivator for this community to empower and encourage our children and youth to stand up for something they believe in. It was instead used to add insult to injury, likely

causing waning local interest in the campaign to wane even more. I commend Emma Whanstall’s attempt to create an event that would be a positive, proactive approach to Cover the Night in Kamloops. I would have thought that efforts to carry on with such an effort, despite controversy and criticism, would be applauded rather than patronized. Those interested in learning more about the Kony 2012 campaign and its progress can do so at the “Kony 2012-Kamloops” group on Facebook. Christina Sewell Kamloops

Editor: Re: (‘Houses of the holy to . . . houses?’, April 19): At the heart of the issue is the potential rezoning of a vacant lot in Aberdeen that is presently zoned for church use. It appears residents of Aberdeen are concerned that, if a 64-unit strata development is given city approval, criminals who are inclined to rent threaten the pristine image of Aberdeen, like they did in Sahali. As a resident of the notorious North Shore, I’ve often wondered where all our criminals have gone lately. It seems the recent gentrification of the North Shore has caused an exodus of “rental criminals” to migrate to the Sahali area. Perhaps leaving the lot zoned for its original purpose would be in the best interest of all, for it seems those in Aberdeen are in need of salvation from the likes of sinful renters.

Doctor objects to ministry’s Botox advocacy X From A3

Sladden objected to the ministry noting a dermatologist on the Coast billed MSP $1.4 million last year without noting the doctor is one of just two in the province with significant specialization that allows them to work on the most difficult and often rare skin cancers. The doctor in the example, Sladden said, has a full surgical floor with all the technicians, nurses and equipment it requires so he can per-

form operations on his cancer patients. And, finally, Sladden is angry the ministry advocated dermatologists use Botox — a company’s drug — to boost his income, an inclusion Ryan Jabs, the ministry’s media-relations manager, acknowledged was included as an example of how dermatogists can add to their income. “It is disgraceful of the ministry to make that suggestion, to advertise a company’s

drug in that way,” Sladden said. Sladden said he does no cosmetic treatments and uses the botulinum toxin used to produce Botox only to treat people with hyperhidrosis, the medical name for excessive sweating. “I do it purely because it is a lifechanging procedure.” Both Kamloops dermatologists acknowledged they could also boost their income by increasing their patientload, but both said that

would mean not providing the level of care they want to provide. Sladden said he sees about 30 patients a day. Lewis said many doctors in larger municipalities are seeing upwards of 70 patients a day. “That volume of often double what we see in a day, that service is not identical with spending 15 minutes with a patient, rather than five or seven minutes,” Lewis said. As for his future,

Dr. Richard Lewis (left) supports the stand Dr. Christopher Sladden has taken to publicly criticize the provincial government for the fee structure paid to dermatologists, rates that have not changed in years. Dave Eagles/KTW

Sladden is not sure. “I love Kamloops,” he said. “It’s a fantastic place to live. I have no beef with it or the people. It’s a great place to raise a family.” However, since his dispute became public,

he has received calls from Britain, the U.S. and Australia about moving there. “There is a huge shortage of dermatologists across the world,” Sladden said. “But, I may stay here and

do something completely different with Dr. Lewis.” Jabs said Sladden’s issue would best be dealt with by the BCMA, which is in negotiations with the province for a new agreement.

RAISING THE BALL — AND AWARENESS Former NHL player Brad Marsh fights for the puck with Jason Balin on Friday, April 27, at the Boys and Girls Club of Kamloops. The 15-year NHL veteran entered the league in 1978 with the soon-to-be relocated Atlanta Flames and retired in 1993 as a member of the thennew Ottawa Senators. Marsh is riding a bike across the country to raise awareness of, and money for, Boys and Girls clubs. For more information, and to donate, go online to bgccan.com/ en/Pages/Brad-Marsh. aspx.

Two liens placed on hospital By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Liens have been placed on Royal Inland Hospital by two companies — each alleging they were not paid for renovation work at the hospital and each apparently headed for a courtroom. Court documents filed by lawyers representing RPI Electrical Services allege the business was not paid for more than $40,000 work it did on the construction of RIH’s new CT scanner suite. Last week, KTW reported online on another local business, Bridgeport Floors, putting a lien on RIH under similar, but more expensive, circumstances. Bridgeport claims it was not paid for nearly $100,000 worth of work at the hospital. Both court actions list the Interior Health

Authority and Vanbots Construction as defendants. The lawsuit filed by RPI states Vanbots hired the electrical firm for work on the CT lab in October of 2010. The document claims RPI completed the work as agreed upon, but was not paid before IHA terminated its construction contract with Vanbots. According to the document, RPI placed a lien on the hospital on Aug. 5, 2011, claiming a sum of $41,691.62. RPI states its lien on the hospital was cancelled in October of 2011 when Vanbots secured a bond from an insurance company covering the debt. That bond — covering the entire alleged debt with RPI — is being held as security in B.C. Supreme Court. The court document states RPI is seeking a judge to reinstate the lien.

Bridgeport’s lien against RIH is apparently still in place. Once liens are filed in court, one of two things can happen — the defendants pay the owing amount or the matter goes before a judge. If a judge rules in favour of the plaintiffs the IHA and Vanbots would be on the hook for the outstanding amounts — in this case nearly $140,000. If payment was not made at that time, the judge could order IHA to sell RIH in order to cover the debts. If rulings are made in favour of the IHA and Vanbots, the liens would be removed. Both Vanbots and the IHA have 21 days to file a response, beginning when they’re served with the documents. None of the allegations in the notices of civil claim have been proven in court.

‘Visual illusion’ cited in crash that killed two city-based pilots The Transportation Safety Board of Canada has released its final report into a 2010 plane crash that claimed the lives of two Kamloopsbased air-tanker pilots. The report cites a “visual illusion” that caused the pilot to fly the plane into tree tops while fighting a fire near Lytton on July 31, 2010. The aircraft, a Convair 580 owned by Conair Aviation, left Kamloops at about 8 p.m. The tree strike took place about 22 minutes later. After the plane struck the trees, according to the report, the aircraft went into a left-hand

spin and crashed. A subsequent explosion killed both crew members — Tim

Whiting and Brian Tilley. The report states the pilot’s depth perception

was impacted by a visual illusion, which caused him to unknowingly fly into the trees on rising

terrain. Whiting, 58, was from Langley, while Tilley, 36, was from Edmonton.

We’ve been practising with our music since last year after nationals. It gets a bit tiring. — Carly Helgason

”

In Synch with the music, again and again . . . By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

HEN THE AVERAGE PERSON GETS a song stuck in their head, they usually do everything in their power not to listen to the tune. The Kamloops Sunrays don’t have that choice. This week in Victoria, four Sunrays — Naomi Woolverton, 16, Carly Helgason, 17, Skye Griffith, 15, and Katie Hohensee, 16 — are competing at the Canadian Open synchronized swimming championships, which run from Wednesday, May 2, to Sunday, May 6. They will be performing to music that has been filling the Canada Games Aquatic Centre’s air for a long time. “We’ve been practising with our music since last year after nationals,” said Helgason, who will swim at this year’s nationals in the junior duet category with Woolverton. “It gets a bit tiring.”

Woolverton, a Sa-Hali secondary student, and Helgason, who attends NorKam secondary, chose music from the movie Once Upon a Time in Mexico’s soundtrack. “We just wanted something fast and something out of the box a little bit,” said Woolverton, who will perform to Christina Aguilera’s Burlesque in solo competition. “I’ll be happy to start doing other stuff.” It is not uncommon for the girls to be at the pool practising six times a week during the season, which runs from September to June. The musical repetition does not stop when the goggles and bathing suits come off, either. “Sometimes, the coaches say you should go home and visualize it once, and make sure it’s on your iPod so you can think it over and make sure you know what you’re doing with it,” said Helgason, who has competed at two national championships. “I can’t watch burlesque the same way anymore.” Helgason chose music from Blood Diamond’s soundtrack for her solo routine.

“It took me quite a bit longer to pick my solo music,” she said. “I like the theme of Africa. I’m more of a gentle swimmer, more graceful, and the music really suits me.” Both upbeat and slower-paced music provides challenges for swimmers. “The faster music keeps you going and pumps you up but, at the same time, you get tired faster,” Helgason said. “Slower music, it’s not as hard, but it’s kind of boring after a while.” Griffith and Hohensee, competing for the first time at nationals, will do solo and duet routines in the 16- to 18-year-old division. There will be about 330 swimmers from across the country vying for podium finishes in Victoria. Most of them — thank heavens — will be moving on to different music after the last note sounds at nationals on Sunday. “Yeah, I’m pretty done with it,” Woolverton said.

SPORTS VIEWS

Penton: Lidstrom’s NHL career at a crossroads BRUCE PENTON From PRESS ROW

ICKLAS Lidstrom is in an unfamiliar position, on two fronts. For one, the 42-yearold Swede saw his hockey season come to an end in April, an oddity because his season usually doesn’t end until at least May — and often June. And two, Lidstrom skated off the ice April 20, following his team’s elimination by the Nashville Predators, not knowing whether he’d ever wear the Detroit Red Wings uniform again. So, will Lidstrom call it quits after a spectacular 20-year career during which he won seven Norris Trophies as the NHL’s best defenceman and led the Wings — his only big-league club — to four Stanley Cups? He was also in Lady Byng contention most years, averaging one minor penalty every six games during his storied career. He was the Conn Smythe winner in 2002. When it comes to NHL defencemen, one starts with Bobby Orr and then doesn’t fall too far back to Lidstrom at No. 2. Sorry, Doug Harvey.

Sorry, Brad Park, Denis Potvin and Ray Bourque. You’ve been edged out. Detroit coach Mike Babcock told reporters in the playoffs that Lidstrom was “too good to quit,” hoping the flattery and another $6-million contract would persuade him to return for one more season. Lidstrom played only 70 games this year — a career low, thanks to a couple of minor injuries — and he was held without a point in the Wings’ five playoff games. The playoffs are when Lidstrom’s ‘A’ game usually elevated to ‘A-plus’ as he quarterbacked the Wings’ potent Datsyuk-ZetterbergFranzen powerplay unit to goal after goal, playoff win after playoff win. An 11-time all-star, Lidstrom still has more game than most NHL defencemen, using his brain, guile and smooth skating to offset some of the speed he has lost. Lidstrom never once missed the playoffs in his long career, pacing the Wings to 32 series’ victories against 15 losses. He holds 11 Detroit records and has an astounding career plusminus mark of +450. He’ll never be revered by Red Wing hockey fans at Gordie Howe’s stature, but he’s probably tied for second with Steve Yzerman. Lidstrom said he’ll make a decision on retirement (or one more year) early this summer. One decision that won’t be tough will be the one for Hall of Fame

SCRAPPING AGAINST POVERTY DON’T SCRAP IT, DONATE IT!

Raidersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; men advance, women eliminated There is one Kamloops Rugby Club (KRC) Raidersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; team left with a shot at provincial glory. The Raidersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; men beat Cowichan 64-8 on Saturday, April 28, at KRCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chilcotin Road pitch, clinching a berth in the B.C.

Scoring tries for the Raidersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; men on Saturday were Jonah

Woodward, Dillon Alexandre, Grady Sjokvist, Trevor Johnston, Cole Greer, Cole Levitt (2) and Mark Haywood-Farmer (2). Levitt added a penalty and eight conversions to round out the home teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scoring. Kamloopsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; women had their hopes for a

league championship dashed when they lost 27-15 to Nanaimo in a BCRU Big Kahuna first division semifinal on Saturday in the River City. Sherah Grant and Emily Young scored tries for Kamloops, with Jess Oldenburger adding a conversion and a penalty.

SUPERHUMAN

Richard Lam/UBC Athletics

By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

This Human has golf in her blood. Alyssa Human, a South Kamloops secondary graduate, led the UBC Thunderbirds women’s golf team to victory at the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) All-Conference Championships, held in Prescott, Ariz, from April 21 to April 23. “Our team’s first-place finish this past week is a result of months of dedication and hard work,” said Human, a fifth-year student at the Vancouver university. “I’m proud of myself as well as my team.” Human fired a two-round total of 150 (76, 74) to place tied for second overall, two shots back of Victoria’s Megan Woodland. She said it was her most memorable individual accomplishment in four years of golf with the Thunderbirds. Kylie Barros (T2, 150), Stephanie Wong (8th, 153), Reagan Wilson (T9, 154) and Casara Hong (13th, 157) made up the UBC team at the tournament. The T-birds’ top four scores from each day were used, leaving them with a team-total 601, good enough for an 11-shot victory over second-place California State University San Marcos.

Human is majoring in genetics at UBC and plans to obtain a Master’s degree in public health after taking a breather from university life. “I’m going to take the year off, regroup and play some golf,” said Human, whose highlights at UBC include an NAIA championship in 2010. “I’m kind of toying with the idea of going down to Arizona and playing on the Cactus Tour for a couple months next spring. “It’s good exposure and good experience.” UBC’s women’s golf team is a member of the Association of Independent Institutions, an NAIA conference. The NAIA is the governing body for about 350 small-college athletics’ programs in the United States and Canada. Next up for Human is the NAIA Women’s Golf National Championship, which runs from May 15 to May 19 at the Link Hills Country Club in Greeneville, Tenn. The final tournament of Human’s university career will be the Canadian University/College Championship, held at Cordova Bay Golf Course in Victoria from May 29 to June 1. “My last month as a Thunderbird is shaping up to be nothing but exciting,” Human said. —with files from UBC sports

Kamloops grapplers win national bronze A third-place finish at a national event is something of which to be proud. Two of Kamloops’ best wrestlers, Alizé Perriard-Abdoh and Tamara Ghering, won bronze at the national cadet/juvenile wrestling championships, held in Fredericton, N.B., in April. Perriard-Abdoh placed third in the women’s 49-kilogram weight class after beating fellow B.C. athlete Fay Tuck in the bronze-medal matchup. Ghering beat Sydney Hawkins of Ontario to win bronze in the 40-kilogram weight class. Perriard-Abdoh won gold in her weight class at the Western Canada Summer Games in Kamloops last summer, while Ghering picked up silver. PacificSport employee Miranda Dick, a former World University Wrestling Championship gold-medallist, coaches the girls. Brian Dick, longtime NorKam secondary wrestling coach, and Clint Martin, St. Ann’s wrestling coach, are also responsible for the girls’ development.

Doug Rutledge, Phil Gingell, Gene Popadynetz, Doug Christianson and Stuart Cornies of Bowlertime won the men’s 5-pin division at the National Classified provincial championships in Kelowna. A five-game score of 5,469 was good enough to edge out TJ Campbell, Lino Cardoso, Jim Mills, Alex Kotai and John Drnasin of Nanaimo’s Brechin Lanes team, which scored 5,344. Stu Ryan, Mike Elder, Larry Richet and Allen Burn of Bowlertime won gold at the B.C. Open 5-Pin Championships in Burnaby.

THIS WEEK

James’ goal: Always leave them laughing to someone at a customer-service centre, complete with transfers, Muzak and never really getting an answer — “the everyman overwhelmed by life, the struggles of the everyday working-class. “I’m 54 now and my life has changed, so the act has to evolve, just as my life has. It’s less the musings of a road warrior and has more of a universality to it now, trying to live a life of worth.” Comedy’s been a part of James’ life since he was a kid. His dad — when he wasn’t working — was a funny guy always telling jokes and his mom would be laughing at them. They encouraged their son to find the humour in life — and he took it to heart. Early influences were George Carlin and Steve Martin although he doesn’t watch much comedy now. Like many Canadians with talent, James at one point thought his future lay south of the border but found his heart — and success — remained in Canada. He’s giving some thought to writing a book, something that might include what he’s learned about himself, and the people and places he has visited and, in his own unique way, telling a story people will identify with when they read it. He’s also considered taking some time off but, “after a week’s vacation, I’m itching to get back to work,” James said. “I love creating. I love sitting at my desk and working hard. And I’m always excited about stepping in front of the curtain. “That’s everything. I’ve got to give the audience what they paid for. “They’d better see a show that they’re going to remember.” Tickets for the show are $54 and are available at the Kamloops Live Box Office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kamloopslive.ca.

ON JAMES REMEMBERS THE LAST DECADE HIS FATHER WORKED. The elder James was an employee with the phone company in Nova Scotia “and, for those last 10 years, my dad was unhappy every day he went to work because the company had changed from what he first knew,” the comedian said. “And, that’s why I do what I do. It’s the pure joy of the work, of the exchange between storyteller and audience. “It’s something that hasn’t changed in 2,000 years, telling stories.” When the CBC star heads out on the road, Kamloops is invariably on his list of places to stop and this year is no different, with James taking to the Sagebrush Theatre on Tuesday, May 8, for an 8 p.m. show. Although he loves his television show, which, if it’s renewed, will enter its fourth season this fall, James said it’s hard work, a medium “with an insatiable appetite and you are always feeding the machine.” That’s why he enjoys touring. It gives him an opportunity to try out and perfect new material, connect with real people and perform “without commercial interruptions and censors.” Not that he’s a Lenny Bruce-type of comedian. A well-placed and appropriate epithet might come out at some point during the show but, for the most part, James draws his humour from “making sense of the chaos we’re all walking through.” He described his television show as a Parker Brothers-like creation, “fun for kids from eight to 80,” while his standup is for a more mature audience. He’ll talk about situations people can identify with because, for the most part, they’ve happened to him. Situations like trying to get through

Sagebrush liquor licence gets new lease on life By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

An overlooked lease agreement has delayed application for a liquor licence at Sagebrush Theatre. Kelvin Stretch, secretary-treasurer for School District 73, said among the documents required for a licence application is a copy of the lease for the theatre — and, when they searched it out last year, the district and city hall discovered it had expired a few years ago. “That’s no problem,” Stretch said, “because we know where they are and they know where we are, but we had to deal with it.” The document was finalized recently and the process has begun again to obtain a licence for adults-only events at the theatre. When the theatre was built, some trustees

Those Girls Girls Girls inspired by Kamloops By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

While their show on Monday, April 30 at The Art We Are was laid back, the members of Girls Girls Girls said they’ll be rocking it out tonight (May 1) at The Dirty Jersey. The British band arrived in Canada for a two-week Western Canada tour last week, bringing the music best described as punk with a twist with them. With a huge time difference and the band’s need to travel, KTW interviewed singer Jeremy Williams via email, asking four questions: • What’s with the name? We accept that the name is completely inaccurate, a bit ridiculous, but somehow utterly appropriate. There have been shows we have played

when punters have turned up expecting some kind of ‘titty show’ or a Motley Crue cover band and, instead, got us doing our chanson-shoegazegypsy circus carcrash punk which has caused confusion and, occasionally, violence. This has led to us being chased out of venues by burly men on a number of occasions. This actually happened the last time we played Kamloops and it caused such an impression we wrote a song about it, called Wing Night, which opens our new record. • Who is in the band? I’m Jeremy Williams and I sing, play guitar and occasionally other stuff. Adrian Martineau plays the bass guitar like a trooper and Chris Wilcox, our sixth and best drummer, plays

the drums like a cross between a caveman and a salesman. We all share banjo and washboard duties on the recordings. • What’s a Girls Girls Girls show going to be like? Expect energy, shouting, vests, a skull and crossbones flag, loud happy punk songs, slow sad ballads, lots of minor chords and us trying to channel the spirit of Serge Gainsbourg into the sound of the Pixies, and vice-versa. And, a rubber duck on the bass amp. • What drew you into music and, in particular, this type of music? I don’t really know what we would be doing if we weren’t doing this. We were all in a bunch of bands before this one, but this feels

district in Hamburg, Germany, into a kind of melancholic gyps- punk explosion. The new record is more kind of an

like the definitive article. With our last record, Hello Sailor..!, we were trying to channel the spirit of the Reeperbahn

unhinged nervous breakdown on side A and out of control sadeyed hedonism on side B. I think we try to

just channel whatever affected mental torment we have into music which is fun to either dance to or leave your wife to.

Hear Better Save More... During Better Hearing Month

Do you suffer from hearing loss? A Little Bit Zombie — the story of a pre-wedding getaway interrupted by the appearance of zombies — and transformation of the groom to the undead side — will be shown at the Paramount Theatre from Friday, May 18, to Sunday, May 20.

Zombies on the silver screen A Little Bit Zombie, named Best Feature Film at the Canadian Film Fest in April and which won the Gold Remi Award for Best Dark Comedy at the Houston International Film Festival, will be shown in Kamloops at the Paramount Theatre. The film is scheduled to be screened across Canada from Friday, May 18 to Sunday, May 20. “It’s awesome that audiences across

the country will get a rare chance to see our movie on the big screen,” said producerdirector Casey Walker. “Our sold-out screenings at festivals have been amazing and I’m so thrilled that zombie enthusiasts are excited about the film — some even organizing their own events around the upcoming screenings.” A Little Bit Zombie’s follows the adventures of a mildmannered human-re-

sources manager who becomes infected with a virus during a weekend get-away with his fiancée, sister and best friend. He must elude an obsessed zombie hunter while he attempts to fulfil his new desire for brains and avoid the wrath of his bri-

dezilla-to-be. It stars Kristopher Turner (L.A. Complex), Kristen Hager (Being Human), Shawn Roberts (Resident Evil: Afterlife), Crystal Lowe (Final Destination 3), Emilie Ullerup (Sanctuary), and Stephen McHattie (Watchmen).

It has a towing capacity of 1,587 kilograms, yet achieves a combined city/highway fuel economy rating of 9.0 litres/100 km. For added power, opt for the 3.5-litre DOHC 24-valve V6 engine, making 270 horsepower and 248 pound-feet of torque. This engine offers a towing rating of 2,268 kilograms and has a combined city/ highway fuel economy rating of 10.9L/100 km. The four-cylinder engine is mated with a six-speed automatic transmission, while the V6 models come with a five-speed automatic. All Highlander models have seating for seven. There are buckets up front and a 40/20/40 split second row with a removable centre seat that stows easily. The 50/50-split third-row bench has minimal legroom, although the second-row seats do move fore and aft to provide a bit more room. The rear seat folds flat with a remote release conveniently located in the cargo area. This increases the cargo capacity from a meager 291 litres to 1,197 litres. With the second and third rows folded, the cargo

capacity is 2,701 litres. Inside, you can outfit the Highlander in a variety of ways. Every model has two-zone climate control including air conditioning, cabin air filter and rear seat heater ducts. All have cruise control, tilt/telescoping

The electric power steering is light and the ride and handling are good for a 1,960kilogram vehicle. The V6 model accelerates briskly (zero to 100 km/h in under eight seconds) and, unless fuel economy is top of mind, opt for this powertrain for better overall performance. There was no need for it this winter, but the four-wheel drive system is welcome when — or if — inclement weather strikes or the desire to off-road overwhelms you in cottage country. Four-wheel drive is offered on the upscale models, with the base Highlander model getting front-wheel drive.

control, smart-stop technology plus seven airbags for driver and passengers. Where the Highlander comes up short, in my opinion, is exterior styling. Unlike the attractive Toyota Venza, the Highlander has a somewhat bland, unexciting look that doesn’t stand out from the crowd. That’s unfortunate, because the Highlander has so much going for it. While it has always been a strong seller, more-dynamic styling would make it even more of an attractive buy. Perhaps the next generation will have more pizzazz but, until then, there will still be plenty of customers who will ante up to buy what has become a leader in the mid-size crossover-SUV class because of its versatility, family friendliness and top-notch road manners.

To ask for 3D or not to ask for 3D Kamloops council will decide today (May 1) whether to ask for a 3D scale model of the proposed Ajax mine. The request was floated by Coun. Arjun Singh, who said proponent KGHM Ajax should construct a model “ you can actually walk around,” that would show what the mine will look like in relation to the city at its full buildout. “I’m hearing from more and more people that a physical model is important,” he said. “My whole theme is, ‘Let’s overdo this. Let’s make it as much of a process as we can.’” While the idea found favour with councillors Donovan Cavers, Tina Lange, Marg Spina and Nelly Dever — who said the idea would allow visual learners to better engage in the debate — others at

the table weren’t sure it was a realistic request. “Where would it be kept? Whose responsibility would it be to move it around?” asked Coun. Pat Wallace, who argued a computerized model would be more accessible to everyone in the city. Mayor Peter Milobar said a model that would adequately show the city and the mine might need to be the size of council chambers. Milobar also called for a video “that doesn’t run at mach speed as it’s going through the year to year progressions,” unlike an effort released by Ajax earlier this month. Council agreed to table the discussion until its next meeting while staff research how big a scale model would need to be.

Council stance will have no effect on review By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

If Kamloops city council eventually comes out in favour of or against the proposed Ajax mine, it won’t have much of an effect on the project’s environmental assessment. John Mazure, executive project assessment director for the province’s Environmental Assessment Office (EAO), was at the Tuesday, April 24, council meeting to talk about the next steps in the Ajax review process, and the kind of community input that will come into play. While the EAO is open to requests from the city for analysis and willing to look at city studies and getting input from city staff on its technical working group, Mazure said a council vote for or against Ajax wouldn’t be much help in the review process. “In terms of a technical analysis, a vote for or against doesn’t inform our report,” he said. “Votes for or against, whether it’s council or someone writing in to say, ‘I don’t like this project,’ don’t help us.” However, a vote on the copper and gold mine proposed for south of Aberdeen would be passed on to the ministers who will eventually make a deci-

sion on Ajax, he said, and could inform “social analysis” of the mine — an area that’s still a bit hazy in scope at this stage. Mazure said social and economic consequences of the mine will play a larger than average role in the environmental assessment of the project because it’s so close to city limits. The EAO studies the effects of a project using five categories: Environmental, economic, health, heritage and social. But, because most of the projects it looks at are located farther away from major populations, a project’s environmental consequences usually take the spotlight. “We haven’t had a lot of projects that are as close as Ajax is,” he said. “I’m not going to say it’s new ground because we always do social and economic analysis, but it’s a level above what we’ve seen before. So, we’re going to be very careful with this one.” Mine proponent KGHM Ajax is now at the application information requirement stage of the assessment process. The company is responding to more than 300 submissions from a public-comment process that closed in March. Once those are complete, the EAO will decide if the answers measure

up, at which point KGHM Ajax can submit its application for an environmental assessment. Mazure said the information requirement stage is about “identifying what sort of information the proponent has to collect, what sort of analysis it has to conduct,” but that information won’t need to be supplied to his office until the application comes in. Though mine project manager Jim Whittaker has said the company hopes to be applying for an assessment by the end of 2012, there is no set timeline for the process at this stage, Mazure said. Once the application comes in, that changes. The EAO has 30 days to decide if an application includes all the data listed in the information requirements. If it does, the EAO has another six months to review the project before making a recommendation to provincial ministers — in this case, Minister of Environment Terry Lake and Minister of Energy and Mines Rich Coleman. Mazure said more public comment time will come when the project hits that stage. “We’re very early in the process, even though it seems like a ton of work has been done,” he added.

Peter’s Pennies for Prostate begins Radio NL and sister stations The River and Country 103 have teamed up with CIBC and The Prostate Cancer Foundation of B.C. for Peter’s Pennies for Prostate. Radio NL morning host Peter Olsen is fighting prostate cancer. “All of us have been touched by cancer, whether it’s a family member or a friend who has battled the disease,” Olson said. “Perhaps it was a neighbour or someone at work. But, I can tell you first-hand, when it happens to you, it’s a whole new game.” Residents of Kamloops and the region are being asked to donate their pennies before they go out of circulation to a CIBC branch in Kamloops or any area branch. All donations will go to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of B.C. to create awareness about this disease, to assist those with prostate cancer and to help find a cure. Donations will be accepted until June 15 at these CIBC branches: • Kamloops — 304 Victoria St. • Kamloops — 565 Notre Dame Dr. • Kamloops — North Hills

WINTER KILL ON PASS LAKE Kamloops fisherman Dave Shaw was on Pass Lake, north of Batchelor Heights, on Thursday, April 26, when he witnessed at least 66 trout floating on the water’s surface at the south end of the lake, victims of a winter kill. On a more positive note, Shaw’s fishfinder showed some fish near the lake bottom, where there remains oxygen for them. Pass Lake also suffered fish kills in 2008 and 2009. According to the Freshwater Fisheries Society of B.C., fish kill occurs when ice covers a lake’s surface and water can no longer obtain oxygen with air mixing. The combination of ice and snow on a lake result in limited sunlight penetration. Vegetation in lakes produces oxygen through photosynthesis during the ice-free portion of the year. With light unable to penetrate the lake surface, photosynthesis stops and vegetation can begin to decompose. Decomposition results in oxygen consumption. Winter kill occurs when the result of these conditions deplete dissolved oxygen levels below threshold levels able to support fish. Dave Shaw photo

It is the second-leading cause of male cancer deaths, with a fatality rate of about 25 per cent. Prostate cancer afflicts men 45 years of age and older, with the incidence increasing with age. Men with a family history of prostate cancer are at increased risk, so examinations and tests should begin at age 40. Prostate cancer has no known causes or prevention, unlike HIV/ AIDS and heart and lung diseases. Detection and treatment in its earliest stages (while it is still small and confined to the prostate) provides the best chance for a complete cure. A PSA test is the single-best blood test for detecting tumours in all forms of cancer.

town of Falkland is Pillar Lake, a favourite with local anglers. This popular family fishing lake may not be very big, but it has an excellent sport fishery and is not too heavily fished. Pillar Lake offers steep dropoffs and deep holes ideal for trolling. For fly-fishers, chironomids produce in the early season with damselfly and dragonfly imitations performing best toward the summer months. Most fly-anglers target the shoals at the north end of the lake. The lake is closed to ice fishing in the winter and has a motor-size restriction of no larger than 10 hp (7.5 kw) during the open water season. The ice typically comes off in early April.

HERALD EDVALL NORLANDER 1924 – 2012 Herald Edvall Norlander of Kamloops, BC, peacefully passed away in the arms of his wife and children on April 24, 2012 at 87 years of age. Herald is survived by his loving wife of 65 years, Helen; children Terry (Charlene), Jeannie (Rod), Dianna (Leonard), Leslie (Johanna), and Dennis (Cindy); many grandchildren, great grandchildren and one great great grandchild; siblings Ada, Irene, Gladys and Ed; and other family too numerous to mention. Herald was predeceased by his beloved daughter Gail, parents Erik and Ellen, and siblings Helen, Betty, Al, David and George. In May of 1924 Herald was born at Hay Lakes, AB and raised on the family farm there. Dad joined the Royal Canadian Navy in 1943 and while serving, participated in the D Day Invasion onboard the HMCS Camrose. After the war Dad returned to Alberta, worked on the pipelines, at a sawmill and in logging. In 1946 he settled in Surrey, BC, where he met and married his loving wife Helen in 1947. Dad worked at various jobs until 1954 when he started his own contracting company, which prompted him to relocate his family to Kamloops in 1959. Some of Dad’s endeavors in Kamloops included, Norlander Western Pools, Kamloops Bulldozing and Norlander Contracting. Dad was hired on at BC Hydro in 1967 as a construction foreman. He was transferred to Terrace, BC in 1977 as Sprv/Foreman where he stayed until his return to Kamloops in 1987. Dad was highly regarded within BC Hydro for his skills and knowledge in civil construction. Dad retired from BC Hydro in 1989. After retiring Dad did not waste anytime, he was always finding a building project to work on. His hobbies included golfing, fishing, gold panning and in the last few years taking over Mom’s Garden (LOL). Dads greatest joy was his children and his grandchildren with whom he spent many hours teaching them different skills. Dads favorite saying was “When it’s too tough for everyone else, it is just right for me.” His family was always taught, “Never say can’t.” Godspeed Dad, We Love you, and you will be sorrowfully missed by all your family.

The family would like to thank Tracey Burge and everyone who watched out for him over the years. Also thank you to all of the staff and nurses at the Overlander and at the Kamloops Seniors Village for their continued caring and compassion. A Celebration of Doug’s life will be held on Saturday, May 5, 2012 at 2:00 pm in the Hills of Peace Lutheran Church, 695 Robson Drive, with Pastor Brian Krushel ofﬁciating. Donations in Doug’s memory may be made to the Hills of Peace Lutheran Church, if friends so desire. Flowers gratefully declined. Arrangements entrusted to Kamloops Funeral Home 250-554-2577 Condolences may be emailed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

Breakthrough by Nel de Keijzer Santa Barbara, California The tears of grief Have washed away The clouds of sorrow, And vision now is clarified I miss you still, But see you new In light of joy And smile at your remembrance. The love we shared Still here to give And to experience The joy that comes from that, IS YOU!!
