A number of city luminaries in business, real estate and sports jointly signed a letter expressing unreserved trust in KGHM Ajax as well as the environmental-approval process involved in its mine application. The letter, signed jointly by 42 people, is written to senior federal and provincial political decision-makers and copied to the premier, Kamloops MLAs and the city MP. It was made public by ThompsonNicola Regional District director Mel Rothenburger, who posted it on his blog. Those signing include Olympian Dylan Armstrong, Kamloops Blazers and Dallas Stars owner and business magnate Tom Gaglardi, former city CAO Randy Diehl and Radio NL general manager and part-owner Garth Buchko. While the letter is titled “Kamloops Business Leaders for Ajax,” one of the signatories said the document of support came at the behest of KGHM Ajax, which held a private meeting to garner support for its application. “We fully expect, based on the efforts KGHM has made to listen to our community and address people’s concerns about air quality and dust, noise, visual impacts and other issues, that the Ajax Project will prove to be environmentally sound . . .

are we confident that Ajax will protect our health and safety, we also believe it will benefit the quality of life of every Kamloops resident,” it reads. Diehl, former City of Kamloops chief administrative officer, said he was asked to attend a private meeting of business leaders about two months ago. Coming out of that meeting, KGHM Ajax officials presented a letter for signing. “There’s so much negativity about the location and mining,” Diehl said. “I wanted the ministry to understand there’s people in town not antimining, per se.” Olympic bronze medal winner Dylan Armstrong said his family has mining roots and he supports the corporation, which has provided him sponsorship money. He declined to detail that financial support. “It’s bringing money to the city,” said Armstrong, whose father worked at Highland Valley Copper and whose uncle now works there. “I have lots of friends in the industry, here and other parts of the world.” Ajax spokesman Robert Koopmans said in an email message a corporate official could not be made available to comment, stating only “we are grateful for the strong show of support.” Both Armstrong and Diehl said their support is contingent on a clean bill of health in the coming environmental application.

Conservation officers are investigating a dead bear that appeared to be shot and wrapped in a shower curtain, then dumped in a West End alley. Resident Stephanie Patsula said she was walking home mid-afternoon on Monday and saw something wrapped up in a curtain in the alley in the 100-block between Battle and Nicola streets. “It was clearly a corpse and it was all wrapped up,” she said. Patsula said she started to unwrap the curtain when two bear paws flopped out. “It was a bear that looks to have been poached,” she said. “It was killed and left in the alleyway.”

Conservation officer Kevin Van Damme said the unusual find is under investigation. “Hunters have authority to hunt black bears at this time of year,” he said. “The question we have is, was this a lawful kill and somehow got put in this location?” While hunting is legal, Van Damme said it is an offence to dump a bear without making use of it. “We have questions how it got there and who put it there,” he said. Those with tips can call the Ministry of Environment’s Report all Poachers and Polluters (RAPP) line at 1-877-952-7277. Patsula dismissed any thought the animal fell out of a truck and can’t understand why it ended up in the alley. “Nothing was removed for trophy purposes,” she said.

Gender identity should be removed from birth certificates, according to a complaint filed with the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal on behalf of nine intersex or transgender people. Morgane Oger, a transgender woman and chair of the Trans Alliance Society, said the forced assignment of gender identity at birth — quickly decided by a doctor inspecting genitals — discriminates against intersex, trans and other gender non-conforming residents whose assigned gender turns out to be inaccurate or who don’t fully identify as one sex or the other. A statement issued by the society said misidentified children “suffer grief when they go to school, humiliation when they apply for a driver’s licence and discrimination and danger in every circumstance where someone wants them to ‘prove’ their gender.” Oger argued there is no valid reason to put gender Eleven-year-old on birth certificates, addHarriette Cunningham ing there are many more of Comox, who was born sophisticated methods to a boy, recently received help identify someone. her new birth certificate “It is indefensible to use identifying her as a a marker which will cerfemale. tainly be wrong and create havoc for a predictable number of people,” Oger said. Health Minister Terry Lake said B.C. has moved to allow birth certificates to be changed, but removing gender would affect statistics used in medical research. “We are studying this and looking at other jurisdictions, but we have to be really careful with foundational identity documents like birth certificates because we want to make sure that we don’t impair people’s ability to travel internationally,” Lake said. Transgender advocates elsewhere are also advancing cases seeking to remove gender from passports. Oger said it’s not acceptable to have a third gender option like “other” because “that puts a target on the forehead of anyone with that third option recorded.” Among the complainants is Harriette Cunningham, a Comox girl labelled male at birth who last year succeeded in getting her birth certificate gender changed to female. In 2013, at the age of 11, she won a Human Rights Tribunal case that led to new provincial legislation making such identification changes easier.

After the fire, blanketed by community support ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A little more than two weeks after her mobile home burned in a Mother’s Day fire, Nancy Klassen said she still sometimes forgets all she has lost. “I thought we’d go see a movie the other night and was, like, we have movie passes. But, we don’t — they burned,” she told KTW. “And I’m thinking of the things that can’t be replaced. My son’s father had passed away and he left some stuff from his parents. That stuff you can’t even replace and can’t put a price on.” Klassen’s home was destroyed after a candle she had been given by her children, Caitlyn, 8, and Christopher, 12, lit the curtains on fire. Since then, the family has been living in a hotel and deciding what to do next.

The fire destroyed most of the trailer, sparing only a few boxes stashed in the end of the mobile home, farthest from the candles. The boxes contain tax information, photos and identification for the family. However, sentimental items, such as her children’s baby blankets, were lost. Kamloops’ Emergency Social Services did its best to supply replacements, giving the family three new quilts. Beverly Bloomfield, a volunteer with the group, said the quilts were donated by the River Valley Quilters Association. Emergency Social Services, which helps residents in the aftermath of fires and similar events, has about 50 of the quilts to give to residents in similar situations. While a Facebook

page set up shortly after the fire is filled with residents offering donations of furniture and clothing, Klassen said the family hasn’t taken much in the way

of goods so far as she is still looking for the right home for her family. But, donations given through an online fundraising campaign

set up by family friend Lynn Yakes have already come in handy to help cover hotel bills and the increased dining costs. Klassen said she is

grateful for the support from Kamloops residents. “It’s nice to see that strangers have cared so much and put stuff forward for me,” she said.

Will city council ban pesticides? ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

It could be good news for dandelions. Kamloops Coun. Tina Lange will put forward a motion next week, asking council to ban the use of cosmetic pesticides on lawns within city limits. The motion, which will be debated on Tuesday, states pesticides “pose needless risk to the health of people and pets.” Lange said the motion is being driven by the city’s urban agriculture committee, which wants to see a ban replace current policy, which allows licensed applicators to spray pesticides on lawns. “The committee felt it was very important that we change it. Just because you’re a professional putting weed and feed on a lawn doesn’t make it any better for you,”

Lange said, adding the committee has concerns about the effect of weed-killing chemicals on honeybees and other pollinators. But, she added, city staff felt an antipesticide mandate didn’t fit in the agricultural plan the committee is creating, so Lange has opted to take it to council instead. Council last debated the pesticide issue in 2012, when Coun. Donovan Cavers put forward a similar motion. It was defeated by a 5-4 margin. The same year, a committee of B.C. MLAs recommended the province stop short of enacting a pesticide ban of its own. Four of the five council members who voted against the ban in 2012 — Mayor Peter Milobar and councillors Ken Christian, Pat Wallace and Marg Spina —

are still on council. Lange said it’s time for the city to try to enact tougher rules. While the last pesticide debate centred on whether the rules in Kamloops could be enforced if pesticides are still for sale on the adjacent Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve, Lange said that argument doesn’t sway her. “What’s to stop anybody from breaking the law?” she asked. “We have speed limits. That doesn’t mean your car only goes 30 [kilometres an hour]. “They’re designed to go 150 miles an hour, but we don’t. The majority of people are law-abiding.” Lange said the city’s education programs that show residents how to avoid pesticide use can also play a role in keeping residents on the right side of the law.

Spina wants booze-distance rules ANDREA KLASSEN

Wine may be coming to grocery store shelves across the province, but a city councillor doesn’t want to see any more alcohol sold within a kilometre of existing stores in Kamloops — even if it’s sold alongside bread and milk. Coun. Marg Spina will introduce a motion on Tuesday to introduce distance restrictions for new retail liquor stores as part of the city’s zoning regulations.

Spina said she’s concerned by changes to provincial liquor laws that allow existing private liquor stores to move their business to anywhere in the province and the government’s plan to auction off an unspecified number of new licenses to sell B.C. wines in grocery stores. She believes the new laws could lead to a proliferation of new liquor stores in Kamloops, as both grocers and underperforming stores from other parts of B.C. move into the market.

“I really subscribe to the theory of how much is too much — and some areas are saturated,” Spina said. She said it’s likely not all the stores that might move into busy areas would survive, noting the city should encourage new stores to move to less-served areas instead. “If there’s something really fantastic that we really need to look at it differently, we could look at a zoning variance for it,” she said. Spina’s proposal already has the support of one local store.

Toonie bus rides on the way The City of Kamloops is moving ahead with plans to charge a toonie to anyone who pays in cash to ride the bus, whether they are a student, senior or adult rider. While discounts will still be available for elementary and secondary students and senior riders if they buy passes or tickets ahead of time, a flat cash fare is seen by both council and BC Transit as more convenient since drivers will not have to ensure discounts are being claimed correctly. The new fee is cheaper for regular passengers, who pay $2.25 now, but Coun. Ken Christian said transit

users shouldn’t get used to falling prices. “While there is a bit of a fare holiday in this resolution, I don’t think we’re moving in the direction of free transit,” he said, adding he wants to see a rate hike once the city gets its next increase in service hours from BC Transit. The city expects to see little change to ridership or revenue as a result of the new fee. New riders will add an estimated $5,000 to the city’s take from bus fare, rising to $15,000 in later years. The new fees will go into effect in September.

in February. Reinbrecht was charged after his speedboat collided nearly head-on with a houseboat on Magna Bay on July 3, 2010. The crash, which took place following a post-Canada Day fireworks display, killed Ken Brown. Reinbrecht does not deny operating the speedboat, but his lawyers have argued the houseboat was not properly lit prior to the nighttime crash. Taking the stand on Tuesday, Alex McLean testified he nearly struck an unlit houseboat with his powerboat just before the fireworks display began. “It was what I would describe as last light,” McLean said. “It wasn’t completely dark, but it was very, very close to completely dark.” McLean, a natural-

I couldn’t see anything but a shape in the darkness.” McLean said the houseboat was completely unlit except for a small, dim blue light on its stern near the water line. “My initial emotion was one of anger because it didn’t have any lights on,” he said. “I circled around and went to approach the boat to holler at them to turn their

Earlier this year, McLean said, he was travelling through Kamloops when he came across news reports about Reinbrecht’s trial beginning. He said he phoned the Kamloops court registry and asked to speak to a lawyer involved. Eventually, court heard, his message was passed on to Crown counsel and a Chase Mountie contacted McLean a few days later. He provided police with a statement in March, but was not called as a Crown witness. Reinbrecht’s lawyers elected to call McLean as a defence witness. The Crown had no questions for McLean on cross-examination. Lawyers are expected to meet on June 15 to fix a date for closing arguments.

‘Born, raised, fed and processed in B.C.’ CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Consumers can already see the 100 per cent B.C. Beef brand in more than 50 restaurants and grocers in B.C. and a new QR code will allow them to find the B.C. ranch where it was raised. B.C. Association of Abattoirs is rolling out its program that promises steaks and other beef cuts are raised, fed and processed in B.C. It developed a smartphone app that lets consumers quickly find participating retailers. Chefs, butchers and retailers can all sign on with the related B.C Beef Network. Gillian Watt, Kamloops-based executive director for the B.C. Association of Abattoirs, said a sophisticated chain of custody and auditing system backs up the brand. Under the system, chefs can also order beef from a local producer, including designating the cut to the abattoir, and have it delivered. “The main thing is it’s born, raised, fed and processed in B.C.,” Watt said. Regional suppliers include Haughton Ranch, Douglas Lake Ranch, Devick’s Ranch and Cache Creek Natural Beef. The program is also guaranteed through DNA tracing to back up its claims, Watt said. “We’re actually auditing it — we’re not just saying it.” A QR code for smartphone readers is in the works that will

APP WILL ALLOW CONSUMERS TO TRACE WHERE, TO RANCH LEVEL, BEEF ORIGINATED let consumers determine where, to the ranch level, their roast originated. Twenty-four B.C. abattoirs are in the program. Watt said one of the restrictions in providing B.C. beef from ranch to plate is a shortage of industrial butchers. While Thompson Rivers University has a retail butcher pro-

gram, workers need to be trained to to cut on a wholesale production standard. She said the association has applied to the province to fund a program at TRU’s Williams Lake campus. The new program will make use of DNA tracing to back up local beef designations. KTW FILE PHOTO

PRO-AJAX CROWD GETTING VOCAL

he names on the letter of support for the proposed KGHM Ajax mine are a who’s who of the business and sporting world. As detailed on the front page of today’s Kamloops This Week and first reported by Thompson-Nicola Regional District Mel Rothenburger on his blog, 42 prominent Kamloops residents have signed onto the letter of support. These include Olympian Dylan Armstrong, Kamloops Blazers and Dallas Stars owner and business magnate Tom Gaglardi, former city CAO Randy Diehl and Radio NL general manager and part-owner Garth Buchko. While the letter of support was solicited by KGHM Ajax, then arms of those signing were obviously not twisted. They signed voluntarily because they see the proposed copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen as being good for the city’s economy. And, as former City of Kamloops CAO Randy Diehl told KTW: “I‘ve made it clear to the company when that statement came out, if it doesn’t satisfy me, I want support the project.” In other words, if the environmental-review process results in findings that present a different view of the proposed mine, Diehl will adjust his own view accordingly. While opposition to the Ajax project has been vocal, there have been, to this point, sporadic pockets of visible support — from the occasional small group of pro-Ajax residents at anti-Ajax rallies to bumper stickers on vehicles. What the letter from the 42 supporters shows publicly and forcefully is that there exists a segment of the population — likely larger than many of us believe — that is in favour of the proposed mine. As the date of KGHM’s application submission nears, we suspect the pro-Ajax side will become visibly larger and louder.

They’re not case files

t was just one line, added long after the stories had been written when the information was relayed to KTW from Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond’s office. The inquiry came about during interviews for the stories on Paige, the Kamloops-born First Nations teen whose life, according to the province’s Representative for Children and Youth, was horrific and ended on a bathroom floor in the Downtown Eastside when Paige was just 19. “I spoke to our chief investigator and he informs me that Paige was not living on-reserve and was not closely connected to a First Nation and therefore was not served by a delegated aboriginal agency,” wrote Jeff Rud, a media spokesman for Turpel-Lafond’s office. Instead, many people working with the province’s Ministry of Children and Family Development connected with Paige during her life and, according to the report TurpelLafond wrote, virtually every one of them failed her. Turpel-Lafond specifically said Paige was failed when there was nothing done to connect her with her aboriginal community that would have provided “key cultural support that was not provided in Paige’s eventual non-aboriginal fostercare placements,” actions the ministry continued to take even though they broke policy requiring aboriginal children be placed with aboriginal families whenever possible.

DALE BASS

Street

LEVEL Jeanie Cardinal is executive director of the White Buffalo Aboriginal and Métis Health Society in Kamloops. She wrote a lengthy, detailed reply to my question about how the system failed Paige, observations that basically can be summed up as one simple truth: It can be a challenge for an aboriginal person to transition from their own home into urban living. Why? Cardinal said that if they seek out information or services, “research consistently shows that, when help is sought from mainstream providers, they do not usually possess the expertise to serve aboriginal people, while aboriginal providers understand the differences, but often have limited outreach capacity and resources.” Some might think that a harsh observation, but we need to think about how we all react when in a new community. It was a steep learning curve moving to Kamloops from a large Southern Ontario city — things really are different in

British Columbia. For example, it took me forever to get used to the idea of turning on a red light onto a one-way street, something I’d never done before. Dealings with the provincial government to access all the things my son with autism could have was an even bigger challenge. Cardinal continued on that point: “The challenge of living in an urban area is compounded by the fact that huge amounts of information exist, but knowing how to wade through it is a skill not often possessed by new arrivals. Navigating the urban systems is difficult, especially in the absence of a trusting personal relationship.“ It’s too late to help Paige, who Turpel-Lafond quite rightly says should have received supports that came from her own culture, even if she no longer lived in a First Nations community. Moving to Vancouver did not remove that culture and did not give her supports that understood her life. For Cardinal, the answer is obvious: person-centred holistic approaches that are built on trust and understanding. Understanding is the key because, as that large billboard down by an MCFD office on Battle Street says, they’re not case files — they’re children.

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

IHA NEEDS TO NAME NAMES IN ILLNESS CASES Editor: Re: (‘Norovirus: When the IHA identifies a restaurant and when it doesn’t — and why,’ May 22): There’s a wide variety of choices in Kamloops. So, doesn’t the public deserve to have the name of a restaurant published that’s had a confirmed incident of norovirus, minor or major? That’s including if a patron that has fallen ill, and it’s confirmed, but did not report to Royal Inland Hospital. My wife and I dine out frequently in Kamloops Did any and, respectfully, we staff at the wouldn’t have chosen Minos had the Interior IHA eat Health Authority publicly out at the identified Minos as having restaurant just been cleared of the norovirus a mere 24 hours the next earlier. day? Whether or not the norovirus is the fault of the restaurant, the IHA should inform the public by revealing the business’s name. Why? To better give the public the knowledge to make an informed decision on where to best spend their dining dollar. We’d try Minos a month later, possibly, but certainly not the next day. Did any staff at the IHA eat out at the restaurant the next day? This was a report about the norovirus at Minos restaurant, so why not provide the public an equal advantage by naming the restaurant, whether it’s a minor or major case. Les Evens Kamloops

anie. She’s the reason he’s back to work at Treetop Flyers and why he’s able to make summer plans to go rock climbing and do other outdoor adventures. Because, when Lepp needed someone to give him part of their liver, Stephanie stepped up, quite possibly saving his life. “You can’t even describe it,” Lepp, 28, told KTW. “It’s such a brave and selfless thing that someone would do for someone else. “I’m just grateful forever.” When Lepp was 18, he was diagnosed with primary sclerosing cholangitis — a slowprogressing disease that affects the ability for bile ducts to carry digestive liquid from the liver to the small intestine — and lived without symptoms for nearly a decade. In 2006, Lepp moved to Kamloops from Saskatchewan to study tourism at Thompson Rivers University before he and others started the ziplining company in Chase. Symptoms of the disease began to surface last spring. It started with feelings of weakness, decreased energy and weight loss. The once seemingly dormant disease progressed to infections that landed him in the hospital. The doctor said he would need a transplant because, Lepp said, he was “basically in liver failure.” With high demand — more than 1,600

Matt Lepp with his life-saving cousin, Stephanie Lepp Hickey.

Canadians are added to organ wait lists each year, according to the Canadian Transplant Association — and a long wait list, Lepp’s doctor recommended he find a living donor, someone who would willingly donate part of their organ directly to him. “In my case, my MELD score [which determines one’s place on the transplant list] didn’t reflect how sick I was,” Lepp said. “Basically, doctors told me I wouldn’t have lived long enough to receive a donated organ.” Several family members were tested and cousin Stephanie Lepp Hickey — who Lepp said is more like a sibling and who is also in her mid-20s — was a match. She flew into Edmonton’s University of Alberta Hospital from her home in Dallas, Tex., to donate 70 per cent of her liver to Lepp. The major surgery took Stephanie out of work for a month and left Lepp with a scar that runs inches across and down his stomach. He also faced months of physiother-

apy and will take antirejection medication for the rest of his life. Nonetheless, he has been left “feeling awesome.” “It’s a pretty amazing thing, organ donation, because you go from being sick and, in a lot of cases, being on the brink of death, to waking up and just feeling like a new person,” he said. “I’m feeling actually better than I ever have.” Eight months later, gratitude has turned to advocacy. Lepp is hosting Night for Life at the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre on Saturday night, a gala to raise funds for the Canadian Transplant Association and spread the word about organ donation. It begins at 6 p.m. and includes dinner by Terra Restaurant, live entertainment, an art auction and guest speakers, including Lepp, Margaret Benson from the Canadian Transplant Association and Abby Farnsworth, a local teenaged transplant survivor. Tickets are $100 and can be purchased online at eventbrite.ca. For more information, search Night for

Life on Facebook.

Organ donation

When Lepp looks at the numbers, he can rattle off reasons he thinks Canadians aren’t registering for organ donation. There’s forgetfulness, procrastination and even laziness but, mostly, he said, “people don’t want to think about it.” In reality, however, signing up to donate organs and tissue can save up to eight lives and impact up to 75 others, according to the Canadian Transplant Society. Lepp is one of them. “Only about 25 per cent of Canadians are registered organ donors,” Lepp said. “About 90 per cent of people are in favour of it, but not a lot of people actually then take that and actually register.” He said it’s easy and encourages people to have conversations with family members and register by visiting Service BC, at 455 Columbia St., or by filling out the form that comes with a driver’s licence. “There are so many people waiting for an organ and a second chance at life,” Lepp said.

Anonymous donor says it’s about time — gives $50,000 ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The clocks will run again at the Kamloops Cenotaph, thanks to an anonymous donation. During this year’s budget debate, city council voted against spending an estimated $63,000 to make repairs to the Cenotaph and sur-

rounding Memorial Park between Battle and St. Paul streets, even though the federal government had offered to chip in $25,000 in grant money. At the time, some councillors suggested working clocks aren’t required at the Cenotaph, which is adjacent to Stuart Wood elementary, since most people have phones they

can use to check the time. The clocks have not worked for most of the memorial’s history. But, with a private donor offering $50,000 specifically to repair the clocks, the plan is moving ahead. Council unanimously agreed this week to accept the money and kickstart repairs to the Cenotaph. The city will spend $13,000 to

cover the portion of the plan as yet unfunded, which would include landscaping improvements at the site. Coun. Marg Spina said the donation shows the Cenotaph repair is important to the community. “It’s something that’s been there a long time that the community has support for,” she said.

The clocks on the Cenotaph downtown will soon be ticking away. KTW FILE PHOTO

the board approved a motion allocating $480,000 for work at Beattie’s secondary campus on Ninth Avenue in the former John Peterson secondary building. McBride said she was told by Wade that the report would only be discussed on Monday night and not voted on as parents would be given a final opportunity to comment. On May 12, Wade said, she advised McBride, a member of the school’s parent advisory council, the report would be coming to the board at its May 25 meeting and would be available to the public when the agenda was posted online at the end of last week. At the time, Wade said, she was only aware there was a report and did not know it contained financial information that had to go to an in-camera session first and would not be attached to the public agenda until after the closed meeting. That in-camera meeting was held before the 7 p.m. public board meeting, at which time the report was made available to the public. “Parents had been asking for some time when the report was coming, so I told her when I knew it was coming to the board,” Wade said. “I just knew there was a report. I didn’t know there were financial issues in it so, when I found out, I told her that it was going in-camera, that it wouldn’t be available before that — and I offered for her to call me if she had any questions,” Wade said of her dealings with McBride.

“I made that offer twice and she didn’t contact me.” It is board policy to deal with financial matters in-camera first so trustees are aware of the details before they can be asked questions by members of the public or the media. Wade said another Beattie parent did contact her, asking why the report wasn’t available with the agenda. “I explained it to her and she understood,” Wade said. Supt. Karl deBruijn agreed with Wade on the decision made Monday night, adding he was disappointed at the negative feedback received “because we thought we had nailed it” from the information gathered at earlier meetings. “We thought this was what they wanted.” The report notes there were three meetings held in the past eight months to inform parents and students about the consolidation and gather input on the program and facilities. The report recommends work be done in the playground and field space, along with the provision of a pick-up and drop-off place for students being driven to school and in addressing the number of school buses that use Ninth Avenue for adjacent South Kamloops secondary. South Kamloops students now use the gym at Beattie secondary, something that will end once the two levels are brought together at the beginning of the 20162017 school year. While some South Kamloops parents have expressed concerns

about this, deBruijn said renovating or replacing the gym at South Kamloops remains a board priority, as does building a new South Kamloops secondary. That capital-works project was submitted to the provincial government last year, but not acted on. The Ministry of Education has since changed its procedures for handling capital projects and requires boards to resubmit, something deBruijn said will happen once the ministry tells the district what the new process involves. He said the population at South Kamloops is projected to be less than 1,000 in the next school year, the result of an effort by the board to enforce the school’s catchment area and not take in students from throughout the city. At one point, many classes had to be held in the John Peterson building. DeBruijn said the board remains open to constructive suggestions as it moves forward with the amalgamation, noting “we’ve got 15 months to do this so it’s not like there isn’t time to talk about it.” The cost of the $480,000 reconfiguration plan will be funded from the school district’s local capital fund ($444,673), school contingency funds ($30,000) and the parent advisory council ($5,000). • Go online to kamloopsthisweek.com to read details about what the $480,00 will be spent on at the soon-tobe to Grade 12 school, which may also adopt a new name.

Wrabel Brothers Construction has been ordered by WorkSafe BC to develop a set of written instructions on how to look after and use pneumatic nailers. The order comes after a journey carpenter working at the 275 Columbia St. site where the John Howard Society is building new housing units was accidentally struck in the chest by a three-inch nail earlier this month. The WorkSafe report states the worker was trying to position a temporary brace on architectural trusses while standing on a stepladder about two feet off the ground. While he was holding the gun, it fired. The worker received first-aid at the site and was later taken to Royal Inland Hospital. An investigation showed the company did not address pneumatic nailers in its occupational health and safety program and ordered compliance be registered at WorkSafe by July 5. The investigation did note the company has an informal, unwritten policy on use and care of the nailers.

The United Way Thompson-Nicola Cariboo this week handed out money to more than 50 organizations in the region. The cheques are the final step in the annual United Way fundraising campaign that wrapped up last year with $2.25 million collected. This year, $432,150 will go into programs for children and youth, $218,100 into organizations and programs addressing poverty and $271,400 into promoting strong communities.

Bank of Canada holds key rate at 0.75% despite questions about U.S. weakness ANDY BLATCHFORD

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The Bank of Canada is keeping its trendsetting interest rate locked at 0.75 per cent even as recent weakness in the United States raises questions about the economy here at home. The central bank said yesterday that it’s standing pat because inflation has been in line with projections and consumption has held up relatively well — even amid the net negative effects of lower oil prices. The bank, however, plans to keep an eye on the potential economic implications for Canada if the loonie stays higher than it has been in recent months — a result of a lower U.S. dollar and slightly higher oil prices. “If these developments are sustained, their net effect will need to be assessed as more data become available in the months ahead,’’ the bank said in delivering its latest rate announcement. The central bank also said while risks to the country’s financial stability remain elevated, they seem to be unfolding as anticipated. When it came to inflation, the bank’s outlook didn’t budge. It said inflation, which had a reading of 0.8 per cent for April,

The Bank of Canada is trying to “send out a positive message.”

— KRISHEN RANGASAMY, ECONOMIST

remained at the lower end of the bank’s target range because of the temporary impact of lower energy prices. The bank said temporary factors are also affecting core inflation, which excludes some volatile items such as gasoline. It said core inflation was higher than usual because of the effect of the past depreciation in the Canadian dollar. “Although a number of complex adjustments are underway, the bank’s assessment of risks to the inflation profile has not materially changed,’’ the central bank said. National Bank senior economist Krishen Rangasamy said the bank’s statement reiterates its optimism for the country’s economic recovery. “The Bank of Canada is trying to send out a positive message,’’ he said. It also seeks to reassure people that the bank will stay put on the rate for the a little while, said Rangasamy. He believes that should help build confidence with those who still believe the central bank could shake up markets again by suddenly moving the

benchmark rate. The Bank of Canada surprised markets in January by dropping the rate from a full percentage point as insurance against the “unambiguously negative’’ impact of sliding oil prices. Last week, Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz called the weaker-than-expected U.S. economy “slightly puzzling,’’ but he expressed optimism it would start accelerating in the second half of 2015. While Poloz has been counting on a strengthening American economy to provide a major boost for Canada — so far this year the U.S. has stopped short of economic expectations. Yesterday, the bank predicted a return to “solid growth’’ in the second quarter, even though Poloz has warned that data for the first three months of 2015 will look “atrocious’’ and he has projected zero growth for that period. The bank’s next rate announcement is scheduled for July 15, when it will also release its quarterly monetary policy report.

Ontario hazelnut growers pick up slack from blight-stricken B.C. PETER HENDERSON

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Ontario farmers are stepping in to feed Canadians’ appetite for hazelnuts as the industry deals with a worldwide shortage, sky-high prices and the spread of nutkilling blight in B.C. The Ontario Hazelnut Association says Ontario farmers will harvest more than 240 hectares of the crop this year, up from 40 hectares last year. B.C., which had 330 hectares of hazelnut-producing orchards as recently as 2012, saw its harvest fall by more than 60 per cent last year and

2015 promises to be even worse. Linda Grimo, whose family has been growing hazelnuts in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont., since 1972, said that gives Ontario growers a “huge opportunity’’ in the market. “I call it untapped potential,’’ she said. “The demand is so great and the supply is so low.’’ Two years of poor harvests in Turkey, which produces more than two-thirds of the world’s hazelnuts, and the spread of Eastern Filbert Blight across B.C. and Oregon, a disease that kills hazelnut trees in less than a decade if left

untreated, have caused global hazelnut prices to triple since the first months of last year. “Every day is a new record high,’’ said Adam Johnston, a trader with UK-based Freeworld Trading. Buyers such as Ferrero SpA, which uses the nut in its Ferrero Rocher chocolates and Nutella spread, will “pay any price’’ for the necessary ingredient in their products, Johnston said. Ferrero has signed a longterm deal with the Ontario Hazelnut Association to create hazelnut crops to feed the Brantford, Ont., manufacturing plant it opened in 2006.

nine people were trapped for 18 hours says the section where the incident happened may not reopen. Sylvain Lehoux said a survey will need to be done with consultants and engineers to determine whether the area is safe. The miners were rescued Tuesday by a tunnelling machine at the IAMGOLD Corp. facility in Preissac in the AbitibiTemiscamingue region in northwestern Quebec. They became trapped after a wall moved because of seismic activity in the area. Lehoux said that in January several miners were also caught in an area not far from the location of Tuesday’s wall collapse. He said the area is located on what he called the Cadillac fault,

where any movement could cause an earthquake. IAMGOLD started commercial production at the mine in July 2014. — The Canadian Press

Saber BBQ Grills starting at $999 THE JUICIEST, MOST MOUTH-WATERING MEALS YOU’VE EVER COOKED SABER® grill’s exclusive and patented infared cooking system generates 100% infared heat. Radiant heat, unlike convection heat used by traditional gas grills, directly cooks your food. Convection cooking relies on hot, dry air and radically reduces food’s natural moiisture content. Our patented infared cooking system directs airﬂow away from the cooking surface, locking the food’s natural moisture, producing moister, more juicy results.

FLARE-UPS HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED The unique, patented design of SABER® grill’s cooking grate and IR emitter prevents flare-ups that char meat and create dramatic temperature fluctuations. Instead, our exclusive system vaporizes any drippings and adds natural smoke flavor to grilled foods. Since liquids and debris are prevented from reaching the burner system, uch maintenance and clean-up are much easier.

EDMONTON — Police have nabbed a motorist in central Alberta who was clocked driving 248 km/h in a 100 km/h zone — about the same takeoff speed as a Boeing 737 jet airliner. “I can’t think of a speed in recent memory where we have got someone going quite that quick that has been apprehended,’’ provincial sheriff Sgt. Jason Graw said Wednesday. On May 9 a sheriff activated the radar gun in his cruiser and caught the man driving a BMW M3 car on Highway 19 south of Edmonton near the Castro Raceway. Police say the man was driving directly toward the officer and hit the brakes and pulled over once he saw the police car emergency lights. Graw said the man has been charged with dangerous driving under the Criminal Code and could face jail time if convicted. A judge could also order the man’s car to be seized.

The BMW website says its M3 is a high performance model that is designed to give drivers “the true sensation of motor sports.’’ The name of the man, who is 44, was not released. He is to appear in Leduc provincial court on June 18. In 2013, the Alberta Association of Chiefs of Police called on the province to give police the legal power to immediately seize and impound the vehicles of people caught driving more than 50 km/h over the speed limit. The resolution was aimed at reducing the number of injury and fatal collisions. It noted that officers are continually apprehending people who drive at speeds in excess of 50 km/h over the legal limit. The government at the time said it was studying the idea. British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec all have extreme speeding legislation. Alberta raised its maximum fine for speeding to $474 from $351 on May 1.

TERRIBLE MOVE TO NIX MONTAGE MAN

THE ROAR IS BACK FOR MORE

KTW FILE PHOTO

The B.C. Lions return to Hillside Stadium today for the start of training camp. The first-year Lions will roam the field from 11:10 a.m. to 1 p.m. today and tomorrow, and from 10:45 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. on Saturday. The rest of the team, including quarterback Travis Lulay (right) and running back Andrew Harris, will arrive in time for the start of main camp, which begins on Sunday, when the Leos practise from 8:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. and again from 3:45 p.m. to 6 p.m. Fan Fest is scheduled for June 7 and the CFL club’s training camp is slated to wrap up on June 17. For more on the Lions, read tomorrow’s edition of KTW.

We miss you, Tim Thompson. Thompson was the man behind the montages, the genius who created the stirring pre-game video packages that used to run before Hockey Night in Canada games. CBC relinquished control of HNIC when Rogers won exclusive Canadian rights to the NHL with the $5.2-billion deal that took effect last year. In September 2014, Rogers announced it would be scaling back Thompson’s spinetingling, storytelling, scene-setting pieces of art. Thompson took to Twitter when the axe fell in February: “Unfortunately, I won’t be working for Hockey Night in Canada anymore. I was let go today. I’ll be back at CBC Sports & am excited about it.” Don’t worry, hockey fans — Rogers had a plan. Step 1: Hire the redheaded stepbrother of the guy who voices over every single action-movie trailer. Step 2: Roll a few highlights and have the Jerry Christ of action-movie trailer narration tee-up the game with his raspy, computer-altered voice. It’s not working. I remember the first time I saw Thompson’s offering prior to the Habs-Leafs game

HASTINGS

on Nov. 30, 2013, a three-minute-and16-second nostalgic ode to hockey icons past and present set to Nessun Dorma by Luciano Pavarotti. It was emotionevoking and possessed the power of captivation. I’m a fan of neither team, but I was floored. Thompson’s piece that aired prior to Game 1 of the 2009 Stanley Cup Final was pure wizardry, borrowing both Coldplay’s Scientist and the finish-tostart style used in the song’s music video to lay out a narrative for Detroit and Pittsburgh’s upcoming clash. There is something missing now and, make no mistake, we notice the absence. The word “goosebumps” often appears in comments posted on YouTube below Thompson’s montages and my hair stood on end when I again watched the Nessun Dorma piece — he entitled it Dear Canada — before writing this column.

The glory days are returning, if only for a night. Plans have been finalized for the third annual Warner Rentals Friday Night Lights football game, which will feature the South Kamloops Titans and Westsyde Blue Wave pitted against each other in throwback uniforms on Oct. 16 at Westsyde secondary. “I thought, you know what would be really cool is if we brought Kam High back for one game only and we’ll have a retro night,” said Cleveland Maartman, the Blue Wave’s head coach. “It’s kind of snowballed. We’re expecting between two- and three-thousand people at this game. We’re bringing in more bleachers and doing it up.” Alumni from each school can go online to Big Kahuna Sport’s website to buy retro jerseys bearing their name and number. The jerseys will be delivered to the head coaches of each team and dispersed among the players on game day. Former Kam High Red Devils and Westsyde Whundas will watch from the

the game, we’ll try and do a ceremony and get some group pictures.” Three years ago, 800 fans showed up to watch Westsyde square off against the Mount Baker Wild of Cranbrook in the inaugural game. More than 1,300 attended the second annual showcase game last year between the Blue Wave and Valleyview Vikings. “It’s an event for the kids to recognize what it’s like to play in a big game,” said Maartman, who came up with the idea. “These kids deserve to have an opportunity in their career, because a lot of them won’t move on in football, to feel what it’s like to play in a big game, win or lose. “The players last year, their eyes were just wide open,”” Brad Yamaoka, head coach of the junior Kamloops Broncos, helped lead the Kam High Red Devils to a provincial AAA football title in 1990 and enjoyed a seven-year career in the CFL. He fondly remembers the good old days, playing in front of 1,000 fans at Norbrock Stadium. “The older you get, the better you were,” Yamaoka said with a laugh. “It’s always

fun to reminisce. “This is a great idea and a good opportunity to promote the game in the city and bring out some of the older generation.” Part of Maartman’s plan for these games was to restore a sense of school pride among current students. “The stands are close to the field and, with the lights, it’s a real neat atmosphere,” he said. “Football is getting healthier now and it’s because the coaches are getting together and saying it’s about healthy rivalries, not about beating up on a team and tearing them down so they don’t have a program,” The Infectuals, a popular Kamloops band that features Westsyde alumni, will play the halftime show. Cooper’s Foods has again stepped up to sponsor the underthe-lights blue-versusred showdown, a tilt that was once dubbed the Wendy’s Cup and sponsored by the fastfood chain. “I always say I was very fortunate to grow up and be able to play in that era of football in the city,” Yamaoka said. “It was such a great time. “We need to get the community involved in football again.”

SPORTS LOCAL PADDLERS OFF TO HOT START Zach Morgan and Alex Demishkevich of the Kamloops Canoe and Kayak Club (KCKC) have qualified to compete for Team B.C. at the Western Canada Summer Games (WCSG), which will be held in Wood Buffalo, Alta., from Aug. 7 to Aug. 16. The WCSG trials were held in conjunction with B.C. Cup No. 1 in Burnaby on Sunday. Morgan finished first and Demishkevich was third in both the men’s C1 1,000-metre and men’s C1 200-m events. There were 14 members of the KCKC in action on Sunday. Complete results are available online at kamloopsthisweek.com. The club is hosting an open house at Shumway Lake on Saturday, an opportunity for children ages six to 11 to participate in free introductory sessions to flat-water canoeing and kayaking. There are two sessions to choose from — 10 a.m. to noon or 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. On June 13, the KCKC is hosting a paddle-athon. Last year, 17 paddlers travelled 342 kilometres to raise $4,000. Head coach Stan Marek would like to improve on that number. To sponsor a paddler, go online to bcpaddleathon.ca/kckc. For more information on the club, visit kamloopscanoeandkayakclub.ca.

The Rogers suits don’t get it From page A17

What can be more valuable for a network than knowing viewers are making emotional connections with its product? Perhaps most bamboozling about Rogers’ decision — seemingly made by Scott Moore, president of Sportsnet and NHL, Rogers Media and Gord Cutler, senior vice president of NHL production at Rogers — is it was not, apparently, about money. It was about the Rogers brass believing Thompson’s work was ineffective, that they could do better with their Americanization of a Canadian institution. Thompson and his montages were far too CBC for Rogers. He

should take that as a compliment. Even more perturbing is Rogers’ apparent blindness to how Thompson’s work was being received in the mainstream media. Here is a short list of the publications, websites and networks that had taken notice of the montages: Sports Illustrated, New York Times, CBS, Deadspin, National Post and the Montreal Gazette. Millions of YouTube hits and Thompson’s videos trending nationwide on Twitter didn’t switch on any light bulbs, either. Rogers decided to hire George Stroumboulopoulos to host Hockey Night in Canada, unceremoniously fading into

oblivion national star Ron MacLean. Strombo is extremely well-known in the Canadian music community. Would it not have made perfect sense to open with what is essentially a music video, then kick it to the former discjockey host? If there is one NHL organization that has a clue when it comes to entertainment, it’s the Montreal Canadiens. Le bleu, blanc et rouge are known to show Thompson’s videos to players on game days for pump-up purposes. It’s no surprise they hired Thompson to work his magic for them during these playoffs and the results, shockingly, were astounding.

YouTube it. Thompson is not hurting for work. He’s employed by CBC Sports and is also a successful filmmaker. The 41-year-old’s pain likely derives from being stripped of his ability to speak to

the nation through his work — and we miss his voice. The Tattle of Hastings appears in KTW on Thursdays. Email Marty Hastings at sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Arrests made in FIFA corruption scandal GRAHAM DUNBAR

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ZURICH — The U.S. government launched a corruption attack on soccer’s global governing body yesterday, pulling FIFA executives out of a luxury Zurich hotel to face racketeering charges and raiding regional offices in Miami. Swiss officials also invaded FIFA headquarters, seizing records and computers to investigate whether the decisions to award World Cups to Russia and Qatar were rigged. Scandals and rumours of deeper corruption have dogged FIFA throughout the 17-year reign of its president, Sepp Blatter, but he was not idicted in either investigation. He is scheduled to stand tomorrow for re-election to a fifth term and FIFA said the vote would go ahead as planned, despite the latest turmoil.

FIFA also ruled out a revote of the World Cup bids won by Russia for 2018 and Qatar for 2022. “We welcome the actions and the investigations by the U.S. and Swiss authorities and believe that it will help to reinforce measures that FIFA has already taken to root out any wrongdoing in football,” Blatter said in a statement. The organization said it was cooperating fully with the investigation. Authorities conducted early-morning raids in Zurich at FIFA headquarters and the five-star Baur au Lac Hotel downtown in the investigations. In Miami, evidence was seized at the headquarters of CONCACAF, the governing body of North and Central America and the Caribbean, whose past and current presidents were among 14 defendants under indictment for corruption.

Swiss police arrested seven soccer officials at the request of American prosecutors and threatened them with extradition to the U.S. Four other soccer and marketing officials agreed to plead guilty. “Beginning in 1991, two generations of soccer officials . . . used their positions of trust within their respective organizations to solicit bribes from sports marketers in exchange for the commercial rights to their soccer tournaments,’’ U.S. Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch said at a news conference in New York. “They did this over and over, year after year, tournament after tournament.” American prosecutors said they will seek forfeiture of more than $151 million the government alleges was illegally obtained. Richard Weber, head of the IRS Criminal Division, called the developments “the

World Cup of fraud.” Two current FIFA vice-presidents were among those arrested and indicted — Jeffrey Webb of the Cayman Islands and Eugenio Figueredo of Uruguay, the Justice Department said. The others are Eduardo Li of Costa Rica, Julio Rocha of Nicaragua, Costas Takkas of Britain, Rafael Esquivel of Venezuela and Jose Maria Marin of Brazil. All seven are connected with the regional confederations of North and South America and face up to 20 years in prison if convicted. FIFA suspended 11 people, including Webb and Figueredo, from all soccer-related activities following the U.S. announcement. The Swiss justice ministry said six of the seven officials arrested oppose extradition to the United States, adding that U.S. authorities now have 40 days

for the previous tournament. The Swiss prosecutors’ office said the U.S. probe was separate from its investigation, but that authorities were working together. The votes to award the World Cups to Russia and Qatar have been surrounded in controversy and accusations of corruption. The Swiss prosecutors’ office said in a statement it seized “electronic data and documents” at FIFA’s headquarters yesterday as part of the probe. Swiss police said they will question 10 FIFA executive committee members who took part in the World Cup votes in December 2010. The Swiss investigation against “persons unknown on suspicion of criminal mismanagement and of money laundering” again throws into the doubt the integrity of the voting.

Caribbean and Central America, the Copa America — South America’s continental championship — plus the CONCACAF Gold Cup and Champions League. “They were expected to uphold the rules that keep soccer honest and to protect the integrity of the game,” Lynch said. “Instead, they corrupted the business of worldwide soccer to serve their interests and to enrich themselves.” U.S. prosecutors said they had uncovered a dozen different schemes, including $10 million in payments from a FIFA account in Switzerland to an account in New York for credit to an account controlled by Warner. South Africa, with the backing of Nelson Mandela, beat rival bids from Morocco and Egypt to host the tournament in 2010, four years after narrowly losing out to Germany

to submit the formal extradition request. One of those detained, who was unidentified, agreed to “a simplified extradition procedure,” meaning he can be sent to the U.S. in the coming days. Four of the men indicted are sportsmarketing executives and another works in broadcasting. Jack Warner, a former FIFA vice-president from Trinidad and Tobago, was among those indicted. The case involves bribes totalling more than $100 million linked to commercial deals dating back to the 1990s for soccer tournaments in the U.S. and Latin America, the Swiss Federal Office of Justice said. The Justice Department cited bribes and kickbacks involving mediarights deals involving World Cup qualifying matches in the

Do not wait until I’m gone And then have it chiseled in marble, Sweet words on ice-cold stone. If you have tender thoughts of me, Please tell me now. If you wait until I am sleeping, Never to awaken, There will be death between us, And I won’t hear you then. So, if you love me, even a little bit, Let me know it while I am living So I can treasure it.

Each loss is very different, The pain is so severe. Will I ever stop missing This one I loved so dear? Good times we had together, The moments that we shared We didn’t have to tell each other How much we really cared. I never dreamed you’d go away, Never thought of sorrow. So sure you’d always be here Took for granted each tomorrow. Now my life is all confused Since you went away. You took a part of me And for help I daily pray. But when God sent you to me He never said that you were mine, That I could keep you always – Only borrowed for a time. Now, He’s called you home, I’m sad and I shed tears. Yet I’m glad He loaned you to me And we had these many years.

CHARLES CLIFFORD DAY February 28, 1928 – May 23, 2015 Charlie was born in Toronto, Ontario and ventured out west at an early age “riding the rails” with a buddy, working odd jobs along the way. It wasn’t long after arriving in Vancouver that he met the love of his life Jean McQueen. They were married in 1950 in Gibsons, B.C. where Charlie worked at the pulp mill in Port Mellon. This was a time when the only access to the mill was by boat and he had lots of stories to tell about those trips. Charlie and Jean had five children Michael, Charlene, Sharon, Tom and Jacalyn and in 1964 pulled up stakes to resettle in Kamloops where Charlie had secured a job at Balco Forest Products (now Tolko) as Head Electrician. He was very active, made many lifelong friends and enjoyed a fulfilling career until health issues forced him to retire in August 1987. He enjoyed golf and curling into his 80’s. He was a real handyman and was always reworking or repairing things for his friends. Survived by his children Charlene Day (Jim), Burnaby, B.C.; Thomas Day (Kathy), Logan Lake, B.C.; Jacalyn Chandler (Jim), Brentwood Bay, B.C.; Anne Day (widow of Michael), Kitimat, B.C. and 11 grandchildren: Trevor, Ryan and Candice Day; Bill Artzoumanis, Lee Martin; Josh and Shane Heaton; Janine and Jordon Day; Alison and Jon Chandler; one great-grandchild Anora Heaton. He is predeceased by his loving wife Jean, son Michael and daughter Sharon. In lieu of flowers, we request donations be made to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation in Charlie’s name. Memorial Service to be held Saturday, May 30th @ 2:00 at Recreation Room, 860 Nicolani, Brocklehurst

ANGELA WRABEL On May 23, 2015, Angela Wrabel passed away at the age of 88 years. Survived by her daughter Gertrude (Horst) Braun, sons, Ron (Lara), Dan (Deb); grandchildren Maria (Brian), Sandra (James), Travis and Derek, Megan and Matthew; greatgrandchildren, Koral and Hazel, Grayson and Jaida. Pre-deceased by her sons Gerhard (1971) and Gerald (1981), her husband Ignaz (1992). Angela was born February 3, 1927 in Graz, Austria. She spent her childhood there and later met the love of her life Ignaz. In 1956, they moved their family to Canada with nothing but a desire to start a new life. They settled in Winnipeg before moving to Kamloops in 1972. Angela was a kind and nurturing person who always made our families’ home welcoming and fun to friends growing up. She was an excellent seamstress and knitter and many of our ‘adopted’ friends still talk about the clothes she made for them. Many days full of laughter and fun were spent by the family backyard pool or around the kitchen table. Angela loved, more than anything, to have her family and friends sitting together, talking, laughing and sharing a meal that she so lovingly had prepared for them. She possessed an unending devotion to her family, and even after enduring family hardships, she showed an unwavering strength and character. She was always beaming with pride for her family. Angela was a spirited, funny, loving and caring person, and her beautiful soul will be missed by all that knew her. Monsignor Jerry Desmond will celebrate a Memorial Mass on Friday, May 29, 2015 at 11:00 am in Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church with a reception to follow in the Parish Centre.

Historic O’Keefe Ranch HOW TO GET THERE

TERESA CLINE SPECIAL TO KTW teresathetraveler.ca

id you know Historic O’Keefe Ranch is exactly as old as Canada? It was founded in 1867 by Cornelius O’Keefe, who was born near Ottawa in 1838 to Irish immigrant parents. Cornelius came west in his early 20s and began to drive cattle from Oregon to provide food for gold miners in the north. He camped on the site of the ranch and decided to raise cattle, rather than drive them. Cornelius pre-empted 161 acres of land. By the early 1900s, with business partner Thomas Greenhow, the ranch had grown to 15,000 acres. In the mid-1870s, Cornelius returned for a visit to his hometown, where he married Mary Ann McKenna, who returned to the ranch with him in 1876.

The ranch is located at 9380 Highway 97, just before Vernon, in Spallumcheen. For more information, call 250-542-7868 or go online to okeeferanch.ca.

Together they moved into the log cabin. Then, after having nine children, they moved into the newly built mansion, which, at the time was considered one of the most elaborate homes in the Okanagan. It remained the family home for 91 years. Thomas later married Cornelius’ niece, Elizabeth, who came for a visit. They purchased 10 acres of land next to the log house so the two families could remain close. Unfortunately, Thomas died in 1889 at the age 54, leaving behind his wife and two children. Ten years later, Mary Ann died of a massive stroke. A year later, Cornelius returned

to Ottawa, where he married Elizabeth Tierney, 40 years his junior, and the two produced six children. Unfortunately, in 1908, their oldest son, Faber, died of spinal meningitis at the tender age of six. He is believed to haunt the mansion, particularly around the doll room where he died. Shortly thereafter, Charles, the eldest son of Cornelius and Mary Ann, died tragically on the way back from herding cattle. Both were buried in the family plot behind the church and were later joined by Cornelius in 1919 and Elizabeth in 1929. The ranch continued to be operated by Cornelius’ youngest son, Tierney, and his wife, Betty, until 1967, at which time they

decided to preserve it as part of Canadian history. They restored and rebuilt the original ranch buildings and opened the Historic O’Keefe Ranch in 1967, exactly 100 years after Cornelius O’Keefe had arrived on the site. The O’Keefe family operated the ranch as a tourist attraction until 1977, when the buildings and their furnishings were purchased by the Devonian Foundation. The ranch, in its earliest days, was at the end of the wagon road into the Okanagan Valley and the site of the stagecoach depot. The small, self-contained community had a post office, blacksmith shop, grist mill and even its own church and cemetery. Many of the original buildings still exist and are a delight to explore. The site includes a turn-of-the-century general store with old-fashioned candy and the original Okanagan Post Office.

Cutting his hair for cancer care DAVE EAGLES

STAFF REPORTER

dave_eagles@kamloopsthisweek.com

ohn Bouffioux looks at his new hairstyle and, in a split second, gets a glimpse of the past, present and future. Given a 30 per cent chance of surviving stage three cancer in 2005, Bouffioux was told he had two years to live. The treatment on his left tonsil, however, was a success.

Bouffioux says his doctor didn’t know what to do with him. “You were supposed to die,” his doctor told him. Today, the effects of radiation and strong chemotherapy treatment remain evident but, he is getting stronger. Hairstylist Melanie Nyeste became friends with Bouffioux when, years earlier, he first walked through the doors of the Westsyde Hair Salon, where she

earns a living. In 2012, Nyeste encouraged Bouffioux to grow out his locks so they could later be cut and donated to the Canadian Cancer Society wig program for women with cancer.

IN LOVING MEMORY

MAXINE ELEANOR BOOKER (NEE CAULFIELD)

Last Friday, the pair was all smiles as Nyeste chopped away during Bouffioux’s visit. He follows the example of son Anthony and daughter Erica, each of whom cut their hair in support of mom Pearl — who survived a breastcancer diagnosis in 1999. Bouffioux realizes the disease is in

his family history. His father died from cancer. “My family has been very supportive,” he says. ““They’ve been active in understanding it.” Each year, Bouffioux’s family takes part in the annual Run For the Cure event in Kamloops to help raise awareness about cancer.

For Bouffioux, donating hair for cancer wigs is his way of showing support for future cancer patients. To learn more about how to donate your hair to help make wigs for women who have lost their hair as a result of cancer treatment, go online to cancer.ca/en/get-involved/ support-us/donateyour-hair/?region=bc.

John Bouffioux looks at his shorn locks after hair stylist Melanie Nyeste made the snip at Westsyde Hair Salon. Bouffioux, a cancer survivor, decided to donate his hair to the Canadian Cancer Society’s wig program. DAVE EAGLES/KTW

July 31, 1931 - May 14, 2015 It is with great sadness that the family of Maxine Eleanor Booker (nee Caulfield) announces her passing on May 14th, 2015 at Overlander Care Home. She was 83. She leaves behind to cherish her memory her six children Bonnie (Leigh) Markland, Debbie (Guy) Cockell, Dan (Karen Weale), Larry (Tammy Walker) Booker, Derek Booker, Kevin Booker (Laurie Salisbury), her beloved grandchildren Danielle, Carrie, Lindsay, Shawn, Ryan, Darla, Danica, Jynnelle, Jessie and Cole, and 16 great-grandchildren. Also mourning her passing are her brothers David and Alan Caulfield, sister Bonnie Gray, her sister and brothers-in-law, and numerous nephews and nieces. Maxine was predeceased by her husband Bill, her mother and father Mary and John Caulfield, her brothers Norman and Bob, sister Nancy and her dog Misty. Maxine was born July 31, 1931, in Nanaimo and moved to Burnaby as a child. She married Bill in 1950. They raised their children in Burnaby, Germany, and Delta before moving to Kamloops in 1969. She lived in Westsyde until September, 2014, when she became a resident of Overlander. After moving to Kamloops, she worked at Safeway for many years until she retired. Maxine was a special lady who was always generous of heart, time and spirit combined with a wonderful sense of humor. She loved to spend her time gardening, camping and fishing with Bill and with her family and grandchildren. She enjoyed lifting a glass with her special friends Katie, Cecile, and Greta. They enjoyed going to the Anavets and Eagles meat draw where she was often a winner. Her closest friend was her sister Bonnie. They loved to have a glass of wine together to share stories and laughter about their families.

bout a year ago, Steve Chocoine was looking for a lead vocalist to join a band he was helping put together. While he looked in all the usual directions one might expect — others in the area, asking for suggestions — he found their singer through a fluke when he was checking out a band-mix website. There, he discovered Blaine Alexandre and, after listening to him, knew he was the right addition for Forum. See KAMLOOPS, B2

But, first, he had to actually connect with him, something the website didn’t accommodate. “So, I started looking for Blaine Alexandre on Facebook and comparing the photographs and that’s how we found him,” Chicoine said. Alexandre, born in Kamloops, but not living in the River City at the time, said he was nervous when he auditioned, despite having sung in karaoke and in high school musicals. When the musiciangathering was done, Forum had Alexandre and guitarist Chicoine, along with Corey Evans on drums, Erik Scholefield on guitar and Daryl Ouilette on bass. “It’s a good mix,” Evans said. “We’re not just musicians, we’re friends, too.

It’s not the first band for most of them. Evans and Chicoine were in Halo, while Scholefield was in Zen Rising. They knew each other and, when their bands broke up, started talking about doing a project together. Chicoine and Scholefield also played in a band back in the mid-1980s, when they were still in high school — along with Dale Wallace, now of Emerson Drive.

Strictly a cover band at this point, they’re thinking of creating their own songs, Alexandre said. For now, with a sound that’s somewhere between the Tragically Hip and the Black Crowes, they cover music from the mid-1970s to today. The band has evolved as each member joined. Evans said it had to switch up some of its music to fit Alexandre’s voice, while the addition of Scholefield brought in a new dynamic to the sound. And, while Alexandre is the lead singer, Ouilette can also take over those duties. Forum is not their day job — the group isn’t at that point of busy bookings — so they rehearse about once a week. Conflicting work schedules pose a challenge, with Ouilette and Chichoine on shifts “but the guys are very accommodating,” Chicoine said, with Scholefield chiming in with the reality “there’s always lots of homework for us.” Doors open at 8 p.m.

1980s glam band aging ‘like wine’ JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

lot has changed since the inception of Warrant, but the band’s 1980s glam-rock sound remains. “We are what we are,” the band’s lead guitarist, Joey Alan Cagle, known as Joey Allen, told KTW in a phone interview from Southern California. Four of five original members are still with the band: Jerry Dixon, Steven Sweet, Erik Turner and Allen. Robert Mason took over lead vocals in 2008 and Allen has been with the band for the better part of 20 years, with time away because of what he calls his “dark years.” “Everyone has them, I think,” he said. “You can never leave what you love.”

Guitarist Joey Allen said Warrant fans can expect a 110 per cent live performance on Friday in Kamloops.

Since then, Allen has watched bandmates transition from the party days of their younger years into more family-oriented lifestyles. This week, for example, Allen looks forward to being home on Sunday to spend time with his wife and three-year-old son —

what he’d be doing if he wasn’t still in the band, he said. But, more than ever, Warrant is about the music, Allen said. “The most important thing is sound,” he said. It’s why audience members won’t hear a single backup verse or chord in the background during their

live performances. “A lot of new bands nowadays are acts,” he said. “We’re 110 per cent live.” Allen has never been to Kamloops, but is looking forward to the show at Cactus Jack’s Night Club tomorrow, before heading to Kelowna for a performance the following night.

Audience members can expect a little bit of old — songs like Cherry Pie and Heaven — and newer tracks, too. The band’s last album, Rockaholic, came out in 2011 and the group has been touring across Canada and the United States ever since, with about 50 shows each year. “It’s going good,” Allen said. “We’re getting better and better. It’s kind of like wine.” Warrant is working on a new album, which Allen expects to come out in early 2016. It won’t be anything outside of what the band does well, he told KTW. “A really, really solid 10- to 11-song rock record.” Doors open at 8 p.m. at 130 Fifth Ave., with Forum and Killing Vogue to open. Tickets are $40 in advance from kamtix.ca.

DRIVE WAY

HIT OR MISS? GIVE NEW FORD TRUCK A YEAR the use of the backup camera, you are sure to get every inch of space available. Steering is incredibly responsive and the ride is firm yet comfortable. There is immediate power when you need it and plenty to get this truck up to highway speed. I enjoyed the drive and, although my day was filled with errands, I still managed to relax as I drove throughout the city.

IAN HARWOOD

DRIVEWAY CANADA

ord is entering a brave new world with its extensive use of aluminum in its brand new F150. It remains to be seen how many of its competitors will leap on the aluminum bandwagon, but this move is sure to shake up the light-duty truck world.

LOOKS

The all-new truck features smooth body lines with oversized fender flares. Sleek headlights form part of the large oversized grille, with a blended in front bumper. These features stand out when you see this new F150 driving down the road and clearly differentiate it from rivals. It is similar to the Atlas concept vehicle, first shown a couple of years ago, though it has been toned down a little in this latest version of the best-selling pickup in Canada. The all-new body features military grade, aluminum alloy sitting on a high-strength steel frame. The intent is to create less overall weight without sacrificing strength. However, it is a bold move that may come back to haunt Ford. Real-world driving will produce all kinds of scenarios. What happens when you need to fix the body panels? Does the cost escalate to the point it is easier to write it off rather than repair? How will it hold up against constant towing or off-road use? Time will tell, but you have to figure Ford has done homework before unleashing the beast.

IN THE CAB

It’s a spacious cab with a little more door width than the last version. You have to like the 10-position adjustable

driver’s seat, which is heated and ventilated. You won’t want to get out once you have arrived at the work site. The Supercab and Supercrew models offer a fully flat floor providing ample cargo space. The beltline of the doors has been lowered a little and the front pillars are moved forward, giving exceptional visibility. An available eightinch LCD productivity screen on the instrument cluster can be set up to provide information tailored to your needs. Fuel consumption, towing and off-road applications offer precise information while driving. There is an optional 400-watt power inverter to power 110v items and, surely, that will become one hot option because of modern workplace demands. Overall, I was impressed with the cab — very comfortable, good visibility and easy access to all the dash functions. The panoramic roof option gives the truck a different feeling driving down the road. When the sun is shining, the natural light warms the cab and almost gives the feeling you’re driving a convertible. I said almost.

SAFETY FIRST

Standard are front airbags with front driver and passenger seat mounted side airbags and safety canopy side curtain airbags.

My tester for the week was a SuperCrew short box version.

I found the new F150 to be a slight improvement over the previous version, with most of the improvements coming from the interior. The new body design is more of a personal preference and I think it will take me a while longer to come around. Give it a year and I will let you know if it was a hit or a miss.
