Ziggy zagged — and the rescue was on By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER

A wayward swimmer (shirtless on the left) speaks with Kamloops Fire Rescue crews after an exhaustive 30-minute search of the North Thompson River on Friday, Aug. 17, following a reported drowning. The swimmer’s friend told KTW he was trying to get to Pioneer Park. Tim Petruk/KTW
A half-dozen police cars, at least two fire trucks, a pair of ambulances, a rescue boat and a helicopter scoured the North Thompson River for about a half-hour on Friday, Aug. 1, after a reported drowning. But, in the end, it was a guy named Ziggy who just decided to go for a swim. Roland Johnson and his friend were sitting on the bank of the North Thompson River enjoying the hot day, with temperatures in the low 30s. “Ziggy said, ‘I’m gonna try to go to Pioneer Park,’” Roland told KTW, pointing across the river. “I said, ‘That’s not Pioneer Park — that’s the reserve.’” But, Johnson said, his pal wasn’t having it. So, Ziggy handed Johnson his shoes and zagged across the North Thompson.
Meanwhile, a passerby saw Ziggy enter the water and then lost sight of him. In a panic, 911 was called. Before long, Schubert Drive between Fort and Alder avenues was buzzing with emergency crews, with a Kamloops Fire Rescue boat on the water and an air ambulance helping out from above. That was about 2 p.m. Forty minutes later, Ziggy was spotted lying down directly across the river from the intersection of Schubert Drive and Spruce Avenue. Johnson said Ziggy’s usually strong in the water. “He’s a pretty good swimmer,” he said. “Probably fatigue is what it is.” As for that trip to Pioneer Park, Johnson said Ziggy will likely call it a day. “That’s probably gonna be it for him,” he said. “He’s probably gonna get a ride from there.”

Killer returns to Kamloops courtroom By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
The son of a former Edmonton police chief who last week admitted under oath to murdering his girlfriend in Alberta last summer will return to a Kamloops courtroom today (Aug. 21). Mark Lindsay stood trial last week in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops on charges of aggravated assault, robbery and possession of a dangerous weapon — all of which stemmed from a September 2011 incident in which the 25-year-old admittedly stabbed an undercover RCMP officer in Barriere. The undercover Mountie was attempting to gain Lindsay’s trust as part of a Mr. Big operation — elaborate stings designed to convince suspects to confess to crimes. Lindsay was being targeted because police suspected he was involved in
the disappearance of his former girlfriend, Dana Turner. Turner, 31, went missing in Edmonton on Aug. 14, 2011 — two days after Lindsay finished serving a 50-day jail sentence for stabbing her in the head with a paring knife. In court last week, Lindsay admitted to murdering Turner and to stabbing the undercover Mountie. He also confessed on the stand to stabbing his Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre cellmate, 21-year-old Michel Fougere, twice in the same eye — the crime for which he is slated to stand trial beginning today. According to Lindsay’s testimony, all of the stabbings could be attributed to a group of serial killers that had been trying to kill him for three years. He said Turner and the undercover Mountie were both members of the group, as was Fougere’s father.
MARK LINDSAY: Admitted murderer claims serial killers are after him.
Lindsay also spoke about “psychic communications” and phone calls from the serial killers. Based on those statements, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley ordered Lindsay to undergo a psychiatric evaluation to determine whether the motive for the attack on the undercover officer can be attributed to a mental disorder. Court heard a similar order is expected to be made following this week’s trial. Lindsay would then
undergo a 30-day incustody assessment at a psychiatric hospital in Port Coquitlam. If doctors find Lindsay to have been suffering a mental disorder at the time of the stabbings, Dley could find him not criminally responsible by way of a mental disorder. He would then be handed over to the B.C. Review Board for disposition. Lindsay is also charged with second-degree murder in Alberta for Turner’s death. He is slated to appear in a Red Deer courtroom for a preliminary inquiry in January.
Father breaks silence Lindsay’s father — a former Edmonton police chief and current deacon in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Edmonton — broke his silence and issued a statement on the weekend, asking for prayers for the families of
everyone involved. The statement, signed by John Lindsay and his wife, Louise, states the family is “greatly saddened” by the events, and by the details laid out at the Kamloops Law Courts last week. “Please pray for Dana, her mother and family, and all those who mourn her,” the statement reads. “Please also pray for everyone else affected by what has happened, and for our son Mark and our family.” None of Lindsay’s family members have been present at any of his court appearances in Kamloops, dating back to September 2011 and including last week’s trial. In the statement, the Lindsays say they love their son, but have been unable to attend court due to illness. The entire statement can be read online at kamloopsthisweek.com.
Bear-killing story rural legend A Kamloops-based conservation officer says there’s nothing to substantiate reports from earlier this month that a black bear cub was intentionally run over with an ATV before being hacked to death with a machete. Darcy MacPhee said investigators looked into the alleged incident, said to have taken place at the provincial campground on Neskonlith Lake over the August long weekend. “It all chased back to a bear that was hit on the side of the road, and that’s it,” he said. “From there, it just sort of grew legs.” The story was reported on kamloopsthisweek.com on Aug. 8. Neskonlith Indian Band Chief Judy Wilson told KTW at the time she’d heard second- or third-hand reports about the incident, calling it “inhumane.” MacPhee said the investigation is now closed. Neskonlith Lake is located between Pritchard and Chase, about 65 kilometres east of Kamloops.

Bank says Gateway owes $5.4 million By Tim Petruk STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Gateway Travel Centre is tough to miss on the Trans-Canada Highway in Dallas — and it’s apparently in financial ruin. Court documents obtained by KTW show Canadian Western Bank has commenced foreclosure proceedings against the large truck stop on the eastern edge of Kamloops. The documents, filed in B.C. Supreme Court on Monday, Aug. 13, claim the travel centre owes the bank more than $5 million. The bank also claims the truck stop has failed to pay its property taxes for the last two years, resulting in $282,218.76 owing to the City of Kamloops. Listed as owing are Gateway Travel Centre Inc., Billy Miner’s Roadhouse Inc., Gateway Industrial Park, Alkam Holdings Ltd. and Anglemont Holdings Ltd., as well as Randy Durante, Drinda Rainville and Glen Thompson.

There is also a John Doe named on the document, described as “a tenant.” It is believed the tenant is related to the Denny’s restaurant that recently opened at the travel centre in place of
Billy Miner’s Roadhouse. According to the document, the bank is owed $5,384,415.13 on a $6.1-million mortgage taken out in 2009. The bank states interest is accruing on the debt at a rate of nearly $800 each day. In the document, the bank says it’s hoping to have a receiver appointed to take over the property until it can be sold. KTW also obtained a copy of a letter sent by Rainville — one of the individuals listed on the court document — to the City of Kamloops on June 15, 2012. In it, she claims to have paid $60,247.05 for her 2012 property taxes. She also asks the city to think about lowering business-tax rates. KTW tried unsuccessfully to contact Rainville, Durante and Thompson. The alleged debtors have yet to file a response. None of the allegations have been proven in court.

Ramada to rise in Kamloops? City council will decide today (Aug. 21) whether to renew a development permit for an 80-room Ramada hotel in the Gateway Travel Centre in Dallas. The original permit, now expired, was issued in 2009 for 3-175 Kokanee Way and would have allowed for construction of a four-storey hotel. It’s the second development permit issued for the site since the property was created following a highway realignment. In 2003, council issued a permit for a five-storey, 100-room hotel on the site, which also expired. Development permits are valid for a maximum of two years. According to a report by city staff that supports a renewal of the permit, there are no technical concerns arising from the hotel, and its “arrangement of features is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.”

Bands have pipeline concerns First Nations groups want meeting with Kinder Morgan By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
The chief of the Whispering Pines Indian Band said he and 11 other First Nations have joined forces to voice their concerns about Kinder Morgan’s plans to twin its Transmountain pipeline. Chief Michael Lebourdais said chiefs from bands along the pipeline route met earlier this summer and sent a request to the Texasbased company to meet when its public consultation on the twinning begins this fall. So far, Lebourdais said, they’re still awaiting a response. The pipeline runs through the middle of the Whispering Pines reserve just north of Heffley Creek and Lebroudais said its presence has presented problems for the band in the past. The 60-foot right of way around the pipeline is land that can’t be used for house building, roadways or energy projects. “We can’t build, we can’t put roads, there’s a lot of problems to do with the pipeline,” he said. “An Indian reserve is set aside for the benefit and use of the Indians, except when there’s a pipeline. “Then, it becomes
the use and benefit of the pipeline.” Lebourdais said the new proposal would seen the pipeline right of way increased to 100 feet, arguing his band needs to be properly compensated for the extra intrusion. He’s also concerned about Kinder Morgan’s expansion plans on his reserve. The stretch of pipeline that crosses Whispering Pines is already twinned with 24-inch and 30-inch pipes, both installed in the 1950s, but the stretch of 24-inch pipe between Darfield and Black Pines (about 80 kilometres and 30 kilometres north of the Kamloops city boundary, respectively) isn’t active. If the expansion goes ahead, the pipe will be re-activated. Another stretch of pipeline between Black Pines and Kamloops is slated for rebuilding, according to a project
update from Kinder Morgan. Additional pumping facilities are also planned, but will be built within the company’s existing storage area in the city. “I really have a tough time believing a 60-year-old pipe is just as good as the day they put it in when they’re running bitumen through it,” Lebourdais said. “Bitumen is the
coarsest, grainiest crude oil you can pull out of the tar sands and put into a pipe. So, I really have a tough time believing it’s going to be safe.” The bands also want to talk to Kinder Morgan about environmental problems along the pipeline in the past. The Clearwater Band, with whom Whispering Pines is partnering for its pipeline discussions, has had more than one onreserve leak in the past, Lebourdais said. “Safety and environment is key — it should be to everyone, not only First Nations,” he added. A Kinder Morgan media official said she wasn’t aware that any requests for discussions from the B.C. bands had been received, but said the company would “look forward” to the request.

House of ‘filth’ council’s focus STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
For the last four years, 356 McGowan Ave. hasn’t been popular with neighbours. In September 2008, candles set too close to a curtain caused a fire in the house. According to a report by city staff, follow-up inspections by the Interior Health Authority, Kamloops Fire Rescue and the city building inspector found an “accumulation of filth” inside the North Kamloops home, including animal feces and old food containers, as well as smoke and water damage. “The amount of accumulated debris covered the entire surface of
the interiors of the house and was several feet in depth,” the report states. The building was declared uninhabitable and has stood vacant for the past four years. During that time, it’s been the subject of numerous neighbourhood complaints — including a petition calling for the house’s demolition submitted to the city in March by 14 neighbouring property owners. City staff say concerns have included weeds and debris in the yard, “the use of the dwelling by transients, pigeons and other vermin” and concern the house could become a target for arsonists that have been setting fires on the North
Shore during the past year. At its meeting today (Aug. 21), Kamloops city council will decide whether to declare the home a nuisance and issue a remediation order. Should council agree to do so, the owner of the property would have to supply the city with a professional report on all repairs needed to make the home habitable again, along with a timeline for completing the work. If repairs aren’t completed, the city could consider having the home demolished. According to the BC Assessment Authority the property at 356 McGowan Ave. has an assessed value of $127,000.

Driver sought in accident By Michael Potestio STAFF REPORTER
reporter@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops RCMP may need to resort to a bit of CSI tactics to find the driver who crashed a 2005 Pontiac Sunfire into a pole on Sunday, Aug. 19. The collision occurred at about 9:45 p.m. in the 1800block of Parkcrest Avenue, said RCMP Staff Sgt. Grant Learned. Residents nearby called police and went to try to help the victim, but no one was inside the vehicle. Investigators arrived and noted both airbags had been deployed. There was a major indentation on the windshield behind the wheel, likely caused by the driver not wearing a seatbelt. The impact was similar to those that were common prior to seat-belt laws from the 1960s, Learned said, and probably caused some injury to the driver, bruising to head and neck damage.
The airbags were seized as part of the RCMP’s evidence package. If necessary, Learned said, investigators can use them to take a DNA sample from skin cells left from the impact to help find the person driving the car. Learned said a resident told police he went outside and spoke with a man he described as dazed and confused. The resident said the male was wearing black clothing and had dark hair. The man left the scene, heading west about eight houses away from where the crash took place. RCMP went to the home of the registered owner, located in the 1900-block of Parkcrest Avenue. The 51-year-old was not home at the time. Police spoke with a 47-year-old woman who lives in the house who said she did not know where the owner was. A police dog was brought in to try to

Of course, the teenage global singing sensation likely would have no clue the previous sentence was a nod to Henny Youngman. Nor would the 18-year-old know who Henny Youngman was. Bieber has gobs of money, but not much knowledge — or so it would appear. I surmise as much as a result of being exposed recently to a string of Bieber quotes. Not that I follow the Ontario-bred YouTube-turned-mainstream sensation, but the kid is so darn ubiquitous, it can be impossible not to encounter Bieber Fever, even if you try. A few weeks ago, I was finishing up some work at home and decided to watch a bit of The Late Show with David Letterman. When it comes to late-night talk shows, it has for two decades been David Letterman or Jay Leno, like Coke or Pepsi, the defining question that shapes the character of the one who answers. Letterman has always been viciously funny, wry and dry and brilliant. Leno? He’s OK if you like softball questions, Hollywood love-ins and vapid humour in which the punchline can be seen six minutes away. Letterman is a four-course meal; Leno a box of Cracker Jack. So it was that I saw the Tiger Beat dreamboat seated next to Letterman — separated by about 18 inches

MUSINGS and 47 years. Talk turned to Bieber’s new tattoo, with Letterman warning the youngster to not make his arm resemble the Sistine Chapel. To which Bieber replied: “I’m not going for the Sixteenth Chapel.” It was awkward to watch, one of those cringe-worthy situations in which you feel embarrassed for the person at the centre of the awkwardness. This was followed by Bieber’s cover-story interview with Rolling Stone magazine, in which he claimed to have enough native Canadian blood (he thinks his lineage might be Inuit) to qualify for “free gas” whenever he is north of the 49th. His comments elicited outrage from various First Nations groups, though Bieber was likely referring to the fact status Indians in Canada do not pay the tax portion of the cost of filling up at the pump. Which brings me to the question: Should an 18-year-old, be he an international superstar or a student in Kamloops, be expected to know what the Sistine Chapel is, to know which exemptions are granted status Indians,
to know all manner of things older adults have buried in their brains for decades? Is Bieber’s apparent ignorance atypical of the average 18-year-old or are we older dinosaurs — those who devour newspapers and magazines and books, whose curiosity is limitless and who have an insatiable thirst for facts — simply too far removed from the era of the teenager? Did we know at Bieber’s age what he doesn’t know? Maybe my recollection is hazy. I recall my 18-year-old self making regular visits to the library, reading plenty and seeking information about anything and everything from wherever I could. In the pre-Internet age, that meant working at it while also engaging in routine teenage rites of passages, such as partying too much and wasting time doing not much of anything. One would think Bieber and his ilk would be far more informed, since billions of bits of information are but a fingertip away on the web. Then again, as I mentioned in an earlier column, access to information doesn’t necessarily equate to intake of information as the Internet, for all its wonders, remains for most a direct route to either social-media entertainment or to a specific answer to a specific question. The wonder of stumbling upon fascinating facts remains the domain of the narrow aisles separating publiclibrary bookshelves — where Bieber Fever and the boy himself are likely not to be found. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com
A new Bravo TV series, Political Animals, wrapped up its first season this past weekend. As political dramas go, it isn’t bad, but it isn’t great — and it is doubtful it truly reflects the inner workings of White House decision-making. What would be valuable is a Canadian TV series that shows exactly how and why our troops end up in some godforsaken country where citizens are being murdered at a rapid rate and how and why our troops are not sent to other godforsaken countries where citizens are being murdered at a rapid rate. Last year at this time, Canadian fighter jets were leading the way in NATO’s months-long bombing campaign in Libya, which eventually resulted in the death of Muammar Gaddafi. Canada became involved via United Nations Security Council resolutions 1970 and 1973, which authorized member countries to respond to the murder of its own citizens by the Libyan regime. Of course, there has been no similar UN Security Council resolution with respect to the carnage in Syria, due to the fact two Security Council members — Russia and China — remain allied with Syria’s Assad regime. There is little doubt the Syrian situation long ago eclipsed the Libya violence that spurred outside attacks against the Ghaddafi government. To watch all the innocent slain on a daily basis in Syria, to see images of children lying dead in the street, is incomprehensible, as is the fact politics played at high levels is standing in the way of saving more of these lives. This week, U.S. President Barack Obama said he would consider mobilizing soldiers if the Assad government used chemical weapons against rebels. While cognizant of the sensitive and convoluted political dynamic that stretches from Syria and into Lebanon, Israel and beyond, we are nonetheless baffled that the possible use of chemical weapons — and not the perpetual slaughter of innocent civilians — prompted statements like those made by Obama this week. Regardless of the rationale and explanations, Canada’s (and the world’s) action in saving Libyans and inaction in saving Syrians simply illustrates that governments do not deem all lives equal.

BUS PASS/TAX HIKE IDEA FEEDBACK
You can comment on any story you read @ kamloopsthisweek.com
‘Are you %@$#%# kidding me?!”
A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online
Re: Sun burn Broncos at Hillside: “Top 5 things the Kamloops Broncos need in order to make the playoffs this season: “1. Health at all positions. “2. A willingness to learn something from each game. “3. Trust in each other. “4. Personal discipline. “5. Belief in themselves.” — posted by Lyle Parr
Re: Letter: We need to learn to live with our coyotes: “Studies have shown there are thousands of coyotes living in and around the City of Chicago — and most residents don’t even know they’re there! “Children and small pets should always be closely monitored whether there are coyotes present or not. “Following a few simple guidelines regarding accessible garbage and not feeding wildlife will prevent conflicts with coyotes and other animals.” — posted by Gail Clark
Transit system useless to me in Westsyde Editor: Re: KTW’s article of Aug. 16 regarding BC Transit’s suggestion that each home receive an annual bus pass in exchange for a property-tax hike of $200 or more (‘BC Transit floats pass linked to property-tax hike’): Are you %@$#%# kidding me?! Why, as a property owner, living in Westsyde, would I want to pay more taxes for a transit system that is useless to me? For me to take transit from home to work would be a 1.5hour commute (probably longer, depending if I make all my connections). Right now, it only takes me
25 minutes at most. For me to take transit, I would have to get myself and my child up at 5:30 a.m. so I can get ready for work and for my child to go to day care (which, when she starts to attend, will cost an extra $5,375 a year). I would also have to factor in new walking time as I do not live on Westsyde Road and no buses come into Oakhills. I would be making two bus transfers (one of these just to get to the day care, then another because Westsyde buses do not travel all over town). All this just to go to work, never mind the rest of my daily living activities, such as
grocery shopping. Then there is the prospect of standing at a bus stop, child in tow, when it is below freezing. There is no way I want to pay yearly a total of $5,693 (transit fees and day care) when I can drive my car for less. In addition, BC Transit mentioned one pass per household. There are two adults and one child in my household, so I would still have to pay for a yearly pass for at least my child and the cost of running a vehicle as my husband works during hours no buses run at all. How fair is that? Jocelan Mayes Kamloops
What’s next — $300 in taxes for swim pass? Editor: BC Transit thinks a $200 tax hike would be a steal. The Crown corporation could save the environment, reduce parking needs and reduce pollution. In exchange, we get a prepaid bus pass, whether we use it or not. Wow! I want in on this bandwagon and my scheme will only cost $100 per year.
I will offer one prepaid service call on appliances in every home in Kamloops. If the appliance is repairable, it saves delivery costs, removal costs, energy to destroy and recycle the metal and plastics and saves space in the landfill. With more than 36,000 homes, I could pull in a paltry $3.6 million — half of what transit wants to stick us with. If that sounds good, I have
some oceanfront property in Arizona for sale. To make me prepay for something I may never use is robbery. What’s next — a swim pass at the Tournament Capital Centre Canada Games Pool for an extra $300 in property taxes? Jay Barlow Kamloops
Editor: In February, my husband Richard and I went on an Oceania Marina cruise from Miami to the Caribbean. We met a couple from B.C. named Tim and Donna. We remember them mentioning Kamloops, although we don’t think they actually lived in Kamloops. We got on really well with them, especially my husband Richard with Tim as they are both golfers. We told them we were coming to Canada for the first time in October and made plans to try to meet up. We agreed to swap email addresses and phone numbers on the last morning of the cruise, but it was such chaos on that morning that we never did it. We can’t even remember their surname (although Richard has an inkling of Cleary or perhaps Clary). All we know is that they had recently retired from running a pipeworks company. We would love to contact them and would be really grateful if any of your readers recognize the description and could pass on our contact details to them. I know it’s a longshot and B.C. is a big place, but please try to help us! Thanks. Richard and Jo Alderson Lichfield, Staffordshire, England

The Tranquille on the Lake development could be headed to another public hearing as council considers a rezoning application for the 190-hectare parcel of land around Kamloops’ former tuberculosis sanatorium. Earlier this year, council adopted a neighbourhood plan for the development, which would include 2,000 or more units of housing anchored by an organic farm. Because of the scale of the rezoning, Tranquille on the Lake proponent BC Wildlife Tours is asking for a comprehensive-development zone, which lays out what sort of construction would take place on different portions of the property, as well as building densities and heights. Should the rezoning PROCEED, the developers would then prepare a master plan for the site and begin the developmentpermitting process, where more specific land-use plans would be hammered out. As part of the rezoning, council would put a no-
between the ages of nine and 16 to the city for four days in late February. While the 15 events included in the Games would be determined closer to the date, they could include archery, badminton, ringette and alpine and cross-country skiing. Venues for the games would include the Tournament Capital Centre and Sun Peaks Resort. According to a report from the city’s parks, recreation and cultural services department, the Games would cost about $600,000, $525,000 of which would be provided by the B.C. Games Society. The city would need to chip in $45,000 in cash and another $50,000 of inkind support, which could include table and chair rentals, security services and facility conversions.

Campfires banned in Kamloops area All campfires are now banned in the Kamloops area. The Kamloops Fire Centre issued the ban for the entire fire zone, excluding Clearwater, on Friday, Aug. 17. This step is being taken to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety. The fire-danger rating is currently ‘high’ with scattered pockets of ‘extreme’ throughout the centre. With the current trend of warm and dry weather, wildfires in the region have displayed aggressive behaviour and required additional fire suppression resources. Human-caused wildfires can divert critical resources and crews from responding to naturally occurring wildfires. Open burning is prohibited throughout the centre, which applies to fires of any size, fire with a burnregistration number, industrial burning, fireworks, tiki torches and burning barrels. It does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes, or to portable campfire apparatus with a CSA or ULC rating (as long as the height of the flames is less than 15 centimetres). The open burning ban covers all B.C. parks, Crown and private lands, but does not apply within local government boundaries that have forestfire prevention bylaws and are serviced by a fire department. Anyone found in violation of a fire ban may be issued a ticket for up to $345. Those who cause a wildfire through arson or recklessness may be fined up to $1 million, spend up to the three years in prison and be held accountable for associated firefighting costs. The prohibition remains in place until the public is notified it has been restricted.

Students make theatre look like child’s play By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
I
N THE INTERESTS OF FULL DISCLOSURE, YES, THAT IS MY SON IN THE PHOTOGRAPH ACCOMPANYING THIS STORY. And, no, this article will not have much objectivity in it. There’s a reason for this and it goes beyond the fact Sean has attended Western Canada Theatre’s Stage One performance class every summer for the past several years. It’s because the students who go there are, each and every one of them, truly amazing. In 10 days over a two-week period, they will go from receiving their script to performing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Every year, they do the same thing: In two weeks, they learn their parts, get their costumes, rehearse their lines, practise the songs, learn the choreography, deal with the openingnight flutters and amaze their audience with the calibre of their productions. Anyone who has seen any of the plays — The Emperor’s New Clothes, Charlotte’s Web, The Wizard of Oz, among others — knows this. Ask them how they do it and you’ll get shy smiles and shrugs. “We just learn our blocking and movements the first week,” said Serena Bergstrand, who will play Willy Wonka. “And then, the second week, we go offscript and we just work at it.” Carter Grice, who plays Charlie, really isn’t sure how it comes together — he just knows it will because he knows everyone else is studying their lines as determinedly as he is. Co-director Melissa Thomas, who just finished directing another Roald Dahl story, James and the Giant Peach, for X-Fest, said the students are serious about their craft. “There’s a lot of homework. It’s hard work.” Serena, 17, interrupts to note “it doesn’t feel like work.” She and Carter will be on stage for most of the 90-minute production and they have a lot of script to learn. It’s not something either of them had planned to do. Serena, who has been with the summer pro-
Sean Bass (left), Chantal Conti, Katie House, Lukas Vanderlip and Carter Grice rehearse a scene from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which they will perform at Pavilion Theatre on Friday, Aug. 24, and Saturday, Aug. 25, as part of Western Canada Theatre’s Stage )ne performance class. Andrea Klassen/KTW
gram for three years, was encouraged to join by her grandmother. “I was leery. I didn’t want to do it,” Serena said, “but she made me sign on and I loved it.” Carter’s mother convinced him to try the introductory course offered last fall — a first for WCT as it expanded its children’s-theatre programming — “and I liked it the first thing.” Even Thomas wasn’t eyeing the theatre as something she would choose for a career, she said. Describing herself as a child and teenager who loved to try different things, she found herself at one point taking up wrestling. Her parents, used to her moving on to new pastimes every year or so, told her they expected she would give it up to. “So, I stuck with it,” Thomas said, competing nationally and even taking on American wrestler Randi Miller at one point, an athlete
who went on to win the bronze medal in the 2008 Olympic Summer Games. It wasn’t a family member who redirected Thomas’s interests. Rather, it was a friend dancing on a bus who fell on Thomas’s knee and hyper-extended it, putting an end to a blossoming wrestling career. She cast her thoughts back to her Grade 10 theatre class and the two school plays she had been in — and, years later, has just successfully completed a master’s degree in theatre at the University of Calgary. Thomas hasn’t been with Stage One since 2010, when she directed Charlotte’s Web. Many of the students she and co-director Terri Runnalls are working with were involved with that play, too. Thomas said she’s thrilled to be doing backto-back Dahl stories and loves Charlie because it provides lots of opportunities for the students.
It also allowed for more students this year, with 25 in the performance class. “Once we decided on Charlie, we knew it was OK to keep adding people,” Thomas said, “because there are so many roles in it. “And, it’s the most I’ve ever directed on stage, with some scenes having as many as a dozen actors on at the same time. The students will give two performances, one on Friday, Aug. 24, at 7 p.m. and another on Saturday, Aug. 25, at 2 p.m. at Pavilion Theatre, 1025 Lorne St. Admission is by donation to the Henry Vanderberghe Memorial Bursary, which provides financial support for Stage One students. A word of advice: As the mom of one of the performers, I learned quickly these students have a habit of filling every seat, so it’s best to get to the theatre early, because seating is limited.

Teen knows how to judge them By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
For many teens, the PNE is all about the rides, the food and the entertainment. And, while that will still be a priority for Alison Speller, she’s got another aspect on her list of must-do things when she goes to the annual event. She has to judge some horses, goats, sheep, swine and cattle. The 17-year-old is one of four local 4-H Club members who will be judging livestock at the exhibition, which opened in Vancouver last week. Her co-judges from the Kamloops clubs include Nicole Huber, Saul Lingren and Meghan McGillivray. Also participating from the Kamloops area are members of the Jumping Jack Rabbits and Yale County clubs. The rabbits will be showing — obviously — rabbits while the Yale members are taking their sheep. Alison got started in 4-H when she was five, working with sheep. It was a natural for her, she said, because she lives on a ranch in Monte Creek where Black Angus cattle are raised and has grown up surrounded by an agricultural life. At age nine, she started working with cattle and, eventually, would show her steer, heifer and cow projects. “It’s a lot of fun,” Alison said. “You learn new things, you meet different kids and you learn about the sustainability” of agriculture. It’s also been beneficial in a more tangible way, as she received one of 10 scholarships given out nationally last year by Canada Trust and the Canadian 4-H Council. The $2,500 award will go toward her university education, she said, as she plans to start science studies at Thompson Rivers University next month.

Alison Speller of Monte Creek, a member of one of the 13 Kamloops-area 4-H clubs, is in Vancouver preparing to judge several livestock categories at the PNE.
The quartet earned their way there through their work with the local clubs, said Deb Goertzen, 4-H district key leader for Kamloops. They qualify through successful judging at local events, particularly a large rally held in Kamloops. “The kids are so excited,” Goertzen said. “The PNE is part of it, too, but they like to meet other 4-H kids, too.” There are 13 clubs in the Kamloops district, which includes Logan Lake and Merritt, with about
200 youth involved, Goertzen said, making the district one of the biggest in the province. “It’s a very vibrant community,” she said. For Alison, who has judged at the PNE before, one of the challenges is assessing projects that involve livestock she hasn’t worked with. “We’re taken out of our comfort zone,” she said, noting they must consider the animals for their ultimate purposes, among other characteristics. For example, pleasure horses will be judged on a different
standard than work horses. Steers will be looked at for their suitability for meat production, while female cows on their potential to produce more cows. The 4-H competitions in beef, dairy, dog, llama, goat, poultry, swine, sheep, rabbit, sewing, crafts, photography and horse wraps up today with more than $7,000 in prize money and 75 prizes awarded. Today’s auction day, with beef, lamb and swine being sold as the 4-Hers final requirement of their livestock projects.

PNE head expects to beam in thousands at annual event agriculture and other displays, entertainment, activities for kids and plenty of food. McDaniel said the average visitor will spend from seven to nine hours at the fair — “and that’s a long day” — so he sees the Star Trek exhibition as a bonus because people can go through it at their leisure. While rides and food have their own cost, most of the fair is free, including entertainment, and McDaniel is particularly happy with that reality. “It’s just $15 for an adult, if you buy it before you get here, or $20 at the door and, for that, you get a lot. “It’s a major concert series that we bring in and we’ll spend

TUESDAY
Linda Bonner-Brown will celebrate her birthday at the annual Kidney Walk on Aug. 26 By Dale Bass STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Linda Bonner-Brown doesn’t want any cards for her birthday. Friends and family can skip the presents, too. All the longtime volunteer with the Kidney Foundation of Canada’s Kamloops branch wants is to see those friends and family — and, ideally, their friends and families and their friends and families. She wants to see 1,000 people at the third annual fundraising walk for the society on Sunday, Aug. 26 at Riverside Park — her 65th birthday. It’s a hefty goal, given there were about 200 people there last year — but, if there’s one thing Bonner-Brown isn’t adverse to, it’s taking on big challenges. That indomitable spirit helped her and husband Doug deal with his diagnosis of kidney disease in August 1995. It helped as they made the
regular tips from their home in Clinton to Royal Inland Hospital for 18 months so Doug could undergo dialysis. It definitely helped when the couple was in two accidents making those weekly trips, collisions that totalled their vehicles both times. “The vehicles didn’t make it through,” Bonner-Brown said, “but we did.” Eventually, they moved to Kamloops but, just 4.5 years after his diagnosis, Doug died and Bonner-Brown found her calling. “We had no idea why he had it,” she said of his kidney disease, “and the doctors said he should have never lived that long, but we laughed every day and we loved every day.” Since his death, BonnerBrown can be seen regularly at RIH with her table of information on the foundation and on the value of organ donations. Ill health means she won’t
be walking when the fundraiser starts at 11 a.m.. — registration is at 10 a.m. — but she’ll be there greeting everyone, including those on the memorial team who will be walking or running in honour of friends and family who have died. Bonner-Brown is looking forward to seeing her sister and two brothers, bringing the siblings together for the first time in five years. She’s hopeful the walk and run will raise more than the $23,000 collected last year, not only because she believes in the cause, but because 85 per cent of the money will stay in the Kamloops area, helping others living with kidney disease. “I can’t make a difference in Doug’s life,” she said, “but, if I can make a difference in someone else’s life, that makes my day.” For more information on the walk, go online to kamloopskidneywalk.ca.

ESPITE THE ABSURD PRICES AT THE PUMPS, LARGE PEOPLE MOVERS ARE STILL MOVING WELL. Not that today’s families are truly large. In fact, quite the opposite as the size of our broods has been steadily shrinking since the 1970s. It’s more a matter of our frazzled lifestyles requiring — and acquiring — far too much crap. A few short decades ago, most families got by with sedans and station wagons. Today, having one or two kids in hockey apparently justifies buying an SUV the size of a transport truck. NEIL MOORE And, don’t get me started on First just how much DRIVE gear (boxes, bags, stroller, booster, high chair, potty, play pen, toys, etc.) now accompanies a single infant. Until recently, most of these vehicles were trucky and bland. Automakers today are more creative, particularly with crossovers, which often blur the lines between SUV, minivan and wagon. The Mazda CX-9 — my tester for the week — is among the most stylish of these. The CX-9 is most striking from the side, where its high and rising beltline is topped by a band of windows that narrows towards the rear. Wide shoulders and a tapered greenhouse, accented by a roof-mounted spoiler, give it a more athletic look than you’d expect from a family hauler.

From the front, this crossover’s projector headlamps sweep back like cat’s eyes, either side of the chrome-surround upper grille. Although I don’t like Mazda’s gaping signature lower grille (the old one is more tidy), at least it’s bisected by a horizontal chrome piece. But, don’t let the CX-9’s low, swoopy profile fool you, as there’s still plenty of space for both passengers and cargo. Behind the third row — yes, this is a seven-passenger vehicle — you’ll find 475 litres of space. That’s more than in many full-size sedans — and there’s even a handy underfloor tray. Drop the third row and you’re left with 1,368 litres. This is the configuration I used all week — much of it with two kids bickering in the middle row and the cargo hold jammed floor-to-ceiling with camping gear. Drop both the second and third rows and you have 2,851 litres. That doesn’t measure up to minivan standards and is less than offered by the bulkier Chevy Traverse, but it tops competitors like Honda Pilot, Hyundai Veracruz and Toyota Highlander. Cargo volume is important, but convenience and accessibility are as critical. For starters, all seats fold flat in the CX-9 and do so quickly and easily. Putting everything back in place is a
minor effort as well. Simple straps and levers do a fine job and there’s really no need for a power third row. Speaking of the 50/50 third row, seating back here is fine for those of us under six feet tall, at least on short trips. With some compromise from second-row occupants — who have oodles of seat travel fore and aft — there’s ample knee room. Getting into the third row is aided by the
CX-9’s tilt-and-slide mechanism, which is a one-handed operation that moves the 60/40 second row forward nearly nine inches. More challenging, however, is the high step-in. It’s easy enough for kids and nimble adults, but I wouldn’t want my elderly father making the attempt. X See NEW CX-9 A22

package features, plus blind-spot monitoring, rearview camera, smartkey system, driver’s-seat memory, upgraded 10-speaker Bose surround-sound audio system, 20-inch alloy wheels and more. If you’re feeling flush, with another $2,675 in your wallet, you can add the navigation package (with seven-inch touchscreen) that, for some reason, also includes the power tailgate. A rear entertainment system is also available for $1,520, which removes the moonroof. The CX-9 can reach $50,000 and, not including freight and taxes, which puts it into contention with some premium
haulers like Infiniti JX and Acura MDX. What makes it competitive isn’t so much the interior appointments, although the tightly-fitted woodgrain trim, chrome accents and leather upholstery are nicely done. The independent front and rear suspensions (with stabilizer bars) are forgiving enough to soak up potholes and road imperfections, yet tight enough to keep this big vehicle from excessive lean in hard cornering. The CX-9’s steering, with r.p.m.-sensing variable-power assist, has more road feel than typical in this kind of vehicle. And the engine — a DOHC 24-valve 3.7-litre V6 (273 horsepower, 270 pound-feet of torque), mated to a six-speed automatic — packs enough punch to launch it smoothly and quickly and deliver ample passing power on the highway. Transport Canada rates this powertrain at a reasonable 12.7/8.4 litres/100 km (city/hwy) as a front driver and 12.8/9.0 litres/100 km (city/hwy) with AWD. I wouldn’t expect to see these numbers, unless
you’re extremely light on the pedal. My own result was a thirstier 13 litres/100 km combined. Fuel economy aside, the CX-9 is both practical and fun to drive — and handles more like a midsize sedan than a large crossover. It won’t get your heart pumping, but delivers the kind of nimbleness and zoom zoom for which Mazda is known.

Passengers in the second row get their own HVAC controls and are treated to loads of knee and head room. Seating is comfortable and, in the GT, is embellished with contrasting leather inserts. The middle position drops down for an armrest and pair of cupholders — and provides some much-needed separation between kids. The CX-9 is among the pricier offerings in this segment (with a starting MSRP of $36,395) and, as such, I’d expect a healthy list of standard content. Here, Mazda does not disappoint. The base front-drive
GS gets three-zone climate control, heated front seats (eight-way power adjust for driver), six-speaker AM/FM/CD audio system, Bluetooth, tilt/telescopic steering with audio and cruise controls, rain-sensing wipers, power heated mirrors, 18-inch alloys and more. You can add $2,000 for active-torque split allwheel drive and $2,395 for a luxury package that includes power moonroof, leather upholstery, four-way power adjust for the front passenger and power lumbar support for the driver. My tester was in GT trim (MSRP $45,745), which included all the above GS and luxury

Oympic-medallist and world-champion Chinese speed skaters are quietly going about their business on McArthur Island. Marty Hastings/KTW
By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

N
OBODY IN the stands. No fleet of reporters. No spectators. No cameras. The Chinese shorttrack speed-skating team — ladened with world-class athletes — circled around the Olympic-sized ice at McArthur Island Sports Centre, head coach Li Yan, diminutive, demanding, prodding them along the way. Nobody was watching — and that’s just fine by them. “Sometimes, we need that kind of space, quiet, with nobody around you and you just do your own job,” said Yan, her skates exchanged for sneak-
ers, a soft-spoken voice replacing the aggressive tone reserved for the ice. “We kind of need that.” During his tenure as mayor, Kamloops North-Thompson Liberal MLA Terry Lake and a 22-member delegation visited the Far East in 2008. The delegation brokered a deal that saw the Chinese team train in Kamloops that summer at McArthur, home to two speed-skating clubs — the Kamloops Long Blades and the River City Racers. This visit to Kamloops marks the fourth time the Chinese team has trained in the Tournament Capital. In China, the shorttrack team is akin to the Canadian men’s
hockey team. They’re well-known and often recognized in public. Kamloops provides refuge from attention and a place to focus on what lies ahead, which, this time around, are International Skating Union World Cup events in Calgary and Montreal in October. “All the skaters know the training is so hard and everybody here [is trying to] prove themselves,” said team leader Liu Hao, deputy director of the national short-track team. “As [far as] I know, short track is not very popular here, but I think it’s OK. “It’s a very quiet place where we can concentrate on training.” The team last came to Kamloops before the
2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, where China swept the women’s short-track events. Wang Meng won gold in the 500- and 1,000-metre races, and gold in the 3,000-metre relay, along with Sun Linlin, Zhang Hui and Zhou Yang, who won gold in the 1,500-metre. “We have good memories here and we have very good equipment at the ice rink and the people here are very wonderful and welcoming,” said Hao, who is employed by the Chinese Skating Association. “We are thankful to the Kamloops government and also the ice rink and [Thompson Rivers University].” Yan said it’s tough to balance training and
leisure when the team is in town. The competition is hot — so is the weather. “Training always challenges you physically and mentally, but we want to also have fun, so it’s kind of complicated,” said Yan, a silver medallist in short-track for China at the 1992 Olympics in Albertville, France. In early September, the team will return home after five weeks in the Interior. No return plans have been made, but don’t be surprised if they come back. “We get really good experience here,” Yan said. “It’s fantastic facilities, the ice rink and the training track at the university.”
Chinese short-track speed-skating coach Li Yan would like to have her best skater back in the fold, but that decision is not up to her. “For our team and for this sport in China, as well, we really want [her] one day to come back and compete for the country again, but we have to wait for the process,” Yan told KTW. Wang Meng, who won three gold medals at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, was dropped last August from the national team and banned from international and national competition after a physical altercation — allegedly alcohol-fuelled — with former team manager Wang Chunlu. The dust-up resulted in dozens of stitches for Meng, who is not unfamiliar to controversy. According to chinadaily.com, Meng was expelled from the national team for six months in 2007 for criticizing a coach’s tactics and was last year alleged to have clashed with security guards during a night out in the southwestern Chinese city of Lijiang. After the altercation with Meng, Chunlu was replaced by Liu Hao, current team manager. The out-of-favour skater is again travelling with the national team. Meng is in Kamloops training with

the Chinese B team, which Yan said is “kind of like a provincial team.” The A team skated together at McArthur Island Sports Centre between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on Thursday, Aug. 16. At 3 p.m., the B team, Meng included, took the ice and trained until 5 p.m. Neither Yan or Hao wished to speak extensively about Meng’s situation. “She is trying really hard to prepare for the coming future, but I’m not quite sure about that,” Hao said. “It’s the job of the Chinese Skating Association and also the Chinese Olympic Committee to decide.” It seems no timetable has been set for Meng’s return to international competition. Her resume is incredible. Three medals — one gold, one silver, one bronze — at the 2006 Olympics in Turin, Italy, accompany the three golds she won in Vancouver. The world-championship section of her medal mantle — 16 gold, 14 silver and three bronze medals — isn’t lacking hardware, either. “It’s not easy for an athlete to do that,” Yan said. “For the coach, me, I wish she could come back and compete for [the] country.”

Hemochromatosis - Canada’s Most Common Genetic Disorder Supporting Families Hereditary Hemochromatosis (HHC) is the most common genetic disorder affecting Canadians. It is a crippling, potentially fatal condition caused by a defect of iron metabolism that leads to iron overload in vital organs, joints and tissues. The complications caused by the disorder are preventable if a diagnosis is made before the excess iron causes irreversible damage, and effective treatment exists.
Information Seminars are being held: KAMLOOPS, B.C. Thursday, August 23, 2012 North Shore Community Centre 730 Cottonwood Avenue, Oak Room 7:00 pm These information seminars will connect hemochromatosis sufferers with others affected by the disorder in the local community. Representatives of the Canadian Hemochromatosis Society will provide information on the diagnosis, treatment and management of too much iron, and updates on the activities of the Society locally, provincially and nationally. All members of the community are welcome. These seminars are part of the Canadian Hemochromatosis Society’s Community Outreach Program and are provided free of charge. Please call 1-877-BAD-IRON (1-877-223-4766) or (604) 279-7135 if you are planning on attending any of the events. More information at www.toomuchiron.ca.

Broncos beaten on the Island By Marty Hastings

STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Running back Greg Morris of Victoria’s Westshore Rebels ran roughshod over the Kamloops Broncos in B.C. Football Conference play on Vancouver Island on Saturday, Aug. 18. “You could tell they were trying to get the ball into his hands and we just couldn’t stop him,� Broncos head coach Duncan Olthuis said of Morris, whose Rebels (2-1) won the tilt 34-21. Morris racked up 131 yards on 13 carries and caught two touchdown passes in Westshore’s second consecutive win. Kamloops (1-2) will clash with the Vancouver Island Raiders (2-0-1) of Nanaimo at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 25, at Hillside Stadium.

The Broncos tried to claw back from a 21-6 deficit in the second half, but the charge fell short. “This is a team that, once we get down, we kind of give up,� Olthuis said. “This is the first time we’ve fought back and tried to get back in the game.� A banged-up Jesse Neufeld had an inspired game at quarterback for the visitors. He completed 10 of 24 passes for 188 yards and rushed seven times for 66 yards and a touchdown.

Kamloops will again travel to Vancouver Island to meet the Rebels on Sept. 16. Westshore’s feature back will be a marked man. “We’ve got to stop Morris and things will fall into place,� Olthuis said.

and 40 yards out. Derek Yachison rounded out the scoring with a two-point conversion. Slotback Brennan Plante had a strong game in a losing cause, racking up 83 receiving yards on three catches. Defensive backs Chris Rosa and Evan Parr had strong games, with Rosa recovering a fumble and Parr making an interception. The Broncos’ offensive line had a tough time dealing with the Rebels’ pass rush, giving up six sacks. But, it was the River City team’s inability to shut Westshore’s offence down that cost them most. “It was a rough day on D,� Olthuis said. “But, it’s nothing

JOHN (JACK) F. HICKS
JOHN KJELSON On August 13, 2012, with his wife, the love of his life, by his side, John Owen Kjelson of Heffley Creek, B.C., passed away peacefully in Vancouver, B.C., from rare lung complications following a successful stem cell transplant for Acute Myeloid Leukemia. He accepted his recent illness with dignity and grace. The youngest child of Owen and Winnifred (Freddy) Kjelson, John was born in Kamloops, B.C., on May 12, 1955. John graduated from North Kamloops Secondary School and earned an Electronics Technician Certificate from Cariboo College. An early employer was the B.C. Forestry Service, where he worked in fire suppression. He was later employed at Balco Forest Products before starting a 26-year career at the Kamloops YMCA-YWCA, the last 21 years as Maintenance Supervisor. John believed that the “Y” has an important mission to build strong kids, strong families and strong communities and was proud of his role in supporting its programs. John enjoyed the outdoors. Amongst his greatest pleasures were hiking on a sunny, crisp fall day around his home near Heffley Lake, searching out firewood for the winter, and hunting and fishing with family and friends at Lac Le Jeune. He shared with Berta a passion for collecting and antiquing. His keen interest in the history of his hometown led John to become a collector of all things Kamloops. John had a great affection for animals and they for him. He took particular joy in the companionship of the dogs, cats and horses that became such an important part of his life. At the home he loved, John enjoyed “puttering around,” designing, building and making things work. Family visits to the house were never complete without a game or two of crib. John was a gentle, kind and caring man who cherished his friends and loved his family most of all. His loving support of his parents and his mother-in-law as they reached the end of their own lives was a great gift, freely given. John’s sense of humour stayed with him throughout his illness, providing needed comfort to his family and friends. John is survived by his loving wife of 27 years, Roberta Kjelson, and his cherished sisters, Karen Fyke and Kathy (Bill) Kals of Kamloops. He will be sorely missed by his uncles, Norman Kjelson and Elwood Blogg of Penticton; his aunts, Margaret (Don) Taylor of Kamloops, and Shirley Knuff of Salmon Arm; his nephews and nieces, Bradley Fyke, Steven Fyke and Krista Kals of Kamloops, Shannon Derrick of Ottawa, Colleen Derrick of Calgary, and Kyle Derrick of Regina; brother-in-law, Roy (Angie) Derrick of Vernon; and many dear cousins and faithful friends. The family extends its thanks to the exceptional Vancouver General Hospital BMT/Leukemia medical team that supported John in his courageous battle with illness, and to Dr. Kraig Montalbetti of Kamloops. Special gratitude and thanks go to Dr. Donna Forrest, Dr. John Shepherd, and Dr. Kevin Song for their extraordinary combination of medical skill and compassion. Heartfelt appreciation is also extended to the nurses of the BMT/Leukemia unit – and especially Julia, Scott and Michelle – who made John’s last day so comfortable. Heartfelt appreciation goes to John’s special friends Jim Stanley, Marty Winksne and Helen and Francis Barnett and family members Kathy Kals, Suzie and Sid Burton and Larry Amstutz for their exceptional support to John and Roberta during the final weeks of John’s life. No service by request. Cremation and interment at Hillside Cemetery, Kamloops. Schoening’s Funeral Service in charge of arrangements. An open house will be held at St. Andrews on the Square, 159 Seymour Street, Kamloops, B.C., on Monday, August 27, 12 Noon to 2:30 p.m. In lieu of flowers, a donation in John’s memory to the Patient Accommodation Pilot Program or the Hematology Research Clinical Trials Unit at VGH/UBC Hospital Foundation, 855 West 12th Avenue,Vancouver, B.C.V5Z 1M9 (online at www. worldclasshealthcare.ca) or the Kamloops YMCA-YWCA Strong Kids Program, 400 Battle Street, Kamloops, B.C.V2C 2L7, would be appreciated.
December 26, 1929 - August 14, 2012 Born in Calgary, Alberta It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. Jack is survived by his loving wife Lucy, of 61 years, four daughters Susan (Allan) Rasmussen of Merritt, B.C., Judy (Garry) Bader of Kamloops, B.C., Donna (Ken) Kernaghan of Calgary, Alta., and Jackie (Ron) Blackwell of Kamloops, B.C., eight grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. Jack was pre-deceased by his parents Hazel and Fred Hicks, and sister Deveny Snyder of Calgary, Alta. Jack worked summer months for CNR on the B&B at the age of 16. After graduating from High School, Jack attended Mount Royal College in Calgary, Alta, and then became a carman on the CNR in 1951 in Calgary region. He joined Sales & Marketing as a representative in 1961 in Calgary, and transferred to Kamloops with the CNR in 1972. He went back to Calgary as the Sales & Marketing Manager of Southern Alberta in 1986, transferred to Vancouver in 1988, and retired to Kamloops in 1989. Jack loved to golf and curl and was a Past President and Past Director of the K.G.C.C. He was active in the Transportation Clubs in Calgary and the Okanagan and an Honorary member of the Senior’s Curling Club in Kamloops. Many people will recognize Jack from the many volunteer hours he has put into the community. Jack also had a love of travel, and enjoyed many trips with family and friends touring Europe, cruising, and exploring the Caribbean at all inclusive resorts. In lieu of flowers, donations would be appreciated to the Multiple Sclerosis Society at #180 - 546 St. Paul Street, Kamloops, B.C. V2C 5T1, or the Crohn’s/Colitis Society at 11198 - 84 Avenue, P.O.

So we will whisper a little prayer today Asking everyone up above To sing a Happy Birthday song And give you all our love. y Happy birthday, Jess! We love and miss you! Mum, Dad, Kyle, Char, lil Jesse & Family y
This day is remembered and quietly kept, No words are needed, we shall never forget, For those we love don’t go away, They walk beside us every day. Unseen and unheard, but always near, So loved, so missed, and so very dear. Always in our thoughts, Forever in our hearts. Al, and your children Matthew, Natalie and Kurtis, Melissa and Tim And granddaughter Madelyn
