JESSICA KLYMCHUK

STAFF REPORTER

jklymchuk@kamloopsthisweek.com

Patrick O’Neil is 67 years old, but some say he has lived more in the last three years than he has in all his life. O’Neil checked the last item off his bucket list yesterday when he flew in a Cessna 172 — and even took control of the plane — alongside flight instructor Tyler Gertzen of Tylair Aviation. For O’Neil, who has been blind and autistic since birth, the flight was all about experiencing the skies. “It reminds you of an elevator, up and down,” he said as he traced the tail of the plane with his hands. “It was a smooth ride. I wasn’t scared or anything.” Since the age of two, O’Neil has been in care. He lives with Selina and Kevin Olsen, who are part of the Home Sharing Program, which pairs people with developmental disabilities with families that can support them.

O’Neil started his bucket list after hearing them discuss theirs. He was intrigued. “He was sheltered most of his life,” Selina said. “He didn’t get to do anything so, once he started living with us, he started the bucket list and started thinking about all the things he’s never had a chance to do, all the things he’d like to do.” That list included saving up for his first bike — $1,000 for a tandem he rides with good friend Marlin Brietzke, who accompanied him on his flight. “When he was told to do something, it was slow, nothing fast or erratic, and that plane just followed what he was doing,” Brietzke said. “It was just beautiful. I can’t explain it. I don’t have the words. It was just fantastic.” O’Neil’s bucket list has been shrinking and then growing again for three years, around the time he became a member of the Centre for Seniors Information. The centre has been helping him fulfil his bucket list, arranging yesterday’s flight and a ride in a helicopter two years ago. Since then, his list has only been getting longer

and his personality brighter. “When we opened three-and-a-half years ago, he was one of the first individuals who had needs and he was so quiet, so withdrawn. He didn’t speak very much,” said Brenda Prevost, executive director at the centre. “Since then, he’s just changed so much with the interaction. That’s been a really wonderful thing to watch.” O’Neil’s support worker, Jeremy Treleaven, agreed, noting he’s seen huge changes in the last year. Although this was said to be his last bucket list item, O’Neil is showing no signs of slowing his imagination. He’d still like to ride a limo, fly in a float plane and take a sunny vacation — maybe to Cuba. The walls of his room are covered in the photos of his experiences, even if he can’t see them himself. “Because of his autism he has trouble verbalizing his experiences, but if he has a picture he can show them,” Selina said. “We’re letting him be free.”

Overpass to reopen next week ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops’ athletes aren’t the only ones affected by this week’s rain. Businesses on the south end of the Tranquille Market are going to face a few more tough days as the weather pushes back the projected opening of the Fortune Drive overpass. Capital projects manager Darren Crundwell said the city had hoped to open the off-ramp leading to the south end of the market on Monday, but now expects it will do so on Wednesday or Thursday. “We haven’t been able to pour concrete for three days,” said Crundwell. While pouring began again yesterday when the rain let up, the concrete needs to cure for about a week before the overpass can reopen. The city had pledged to keep the overpass closed for about four weeks maximum, with crews working 24/7 on the project. North Shore Business Improvement Association executive director Stephen Puhallo said

many businesses closest to the bridge have seen sales drop by 50 per cent or more since the shutdown. “They’ve been taking it on the chin on the south end of the Tranquille Market,” he said Tasso Stratikopoulos of Minos Restaurant confirmed those numbers. Business at the Greek restaurant is down by about half since the overpass closure, with South Shore customers choosing to avoid the area. “Lunch and supper here is very slow, especially lunch time,” he said. “It was OK until they shut down the overpass for us. After they shut down the overpass, it’s terrible.” Puhallo said businesses south of Donut King have been most impacted by the closure, with restaurants taking the larger hit. But, other parts of the North Shore, including the Brock Shopping Centre, are continuing to report an increase in business. The downturn isn’t hitting everyone the same, however. Reubin’s Diner owner Mike Ward said he’s seen sales slump

by about 15 or 20 per cent, but has had some regulars making a special trip to support him through construction. “I think we’ve got a clientele that supports us,” he said, adding some customers who initially stayed away fearing traffic have since come back. “Other than the 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. rush hours, traffic’s been flowing pretty well,” Ward said, encouraging wary drivers to try making a bridge trip at off-peak hours. “I wish people would just come over and not worry about it,” he said. Once the overpass opens, the NSBIA is planning to work with businesses to bring customers back to the south end of Tranquille Road. “It will take some time, but they will come back because we’ve got some good businesses down there,” Puhallo said. Beyond the overpass, work on the Overlanders’ western sidewalk and traffic lanes will continue until early July, Crundwell said, noting the project is on budget and on track to be done by the end of October.

Leonard announces bid for council CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A former staff member of the Tk’emlups Indian Band intends to run for council in the fall election. Sonny Leonard, 63, is the band’s first red seal electrician. His experiences including operating a satellitedish business and slot-machine repair. Leonard’s employment with the band was most recently as a procurement officer. He has also been an educational administrator. Five years ago, Leonard pushed through a grassroots motion to reform hiring practices for band jobs, something he said has resulted in mixed success. “There’s always room for improvement,” he said. Leonard can count deep roots in the community, with a grandfather elected councillor and niece

and uncle both serving as chief. He wants to push ahead with development that has made the TIB successful over the past two decades. “We’re like a small city, undeveloped,” he said. Leonard said campaigning for council is quiet thus far. The fall vote will be headlined by the election of a new chief. Current TIB Chief Shane Gottfriedson is running for the position of B.C. regional position with the Assembly of First Nations and said he will not run for re-election. Tk’emlups councillors Fred Seymour and Ed Jensen, and Howard Campbell, a longtime chief financial officer for the band who completed his tenure as chief administrator last July, have all told KTW they are considering entering the race for chief. The election will be held in November.

DENTAL OFFICE BROKE INTO Early on Monday June 1st at approximately 3:00 am, a dental office on the 700 block of McGill road was broken into. Suspects went to the side of the building and smashed out the window of the office.

The dental offices use very good crime prevention techniques, and the medication is secured extremely well, the daily cash if any, is removed regularly. This dental office is in an apartment complex directly across from the TRU, even late at night there is traffic and residents in the area that may have seen something. If you have any information or saw something suspicious, please contact Crime Stoppers, you will remain anonymous and will never have to go to court.

The union representing the province’s nurses and the Interior Health Authority (IHA) agree there’s a shortage of specialty nurses. After that, the level of concern diverges. The difference of opinion is centred on an announcement this week by Health Minister Terry Lake that $10 million will be allocated toward easing wait lists for certain surgeries — and the fact private clinics can also apply for the money. Gayle Duteil, president of the B.C. Nurses Union (BCNU), said she worries that option will see operating- and recovery-room nurses leave the public system for a private facility like the Kamloops Surgical Centre. She said she would rather have seen the money put into “making the public system better.” Susan Brown, the IHA’s vicepresident of acute services, said the authority has contracted with the private centre in recent years for day surgeries and “we have not seen a negative impact to our operating room staffing levels as a result. “If we were to slightly increase that volume through a short-term agreement, I don’t foresee a problem arising from an operating room nurse-staffing perspective.” The IHA will use its portion of the allocation for hip and knee replacements, as well as ear, nose, throat and cataract surgeries.

There are three operating-room nurse vacancies among a staff of 80 trained for that job, Brown said, with only one posting having been open for more than 90 days. The IHA uses a formula to monitor longer-term nursing vacancies, Brown said, and at this time the rate is less than one per cent. The target rating for the health authority is less than two per cent. “OR nurses do not grow on trees,” Duteil said, noting that discipline and recovery-room and intensive-care unit nurses are considered specialties. “And they’re all short right now, she said. “Where do they think the OR and recovery nurses will come from?” Brown noted the government recently created a fund with the BCNU to train more nurses in those areas. The $5-million fund for training was part of the ministry’s settlement of 1,600 BCNU grievances about staffing. The deal also includes $1 million to support more registered nurse staffing and $2 million in settlement funds to nurses affected by staffing shortages. Duteil said she’s been pleased with the relationship between her union and the minister, despite their different approaches to issues. “I believe Minister Lake is aware of the concerns we are raising,” she said. “But we are disappointed with the amount of forecasting [on staffing needs] the health authorities have done. Routinely, nurses are working far short of the baseline.”

Victim strangled, beaten A 19-year-old woman found dead in a ditch the day after attending a Kelowna party was strangled and suffered skull fractures from being struck in the head seven to eight times, a forensic pathologist testified yesterday. Neil Snelson is standing trial in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops on a charge of manslaughter in connection to the October 1993 death of Jennifer Cusworth. Dr. Ronald Roy, the forensic pathologist who examined Cusworth’s body in an autopsy more than two decades ago, testified some medical evidence at the time was compromised because the young woman’s body was found face down in the watery ditch on Oct. 17, 1993. “She’d been struck in the head,” Roy said, adding he believes Cusworth’s head was fixed in place when she suffered the skull fractures and lacerations from a blunt object. Those blows to Cusworth’s head caused swelling in her brain that can result in death between 30 minutes to several hours later, he said. Roy did not fix a time of death.

“Time of death, regardless of what you hear on TV — Quincy or CSI — is difficult to define,” the veteran medical examiner said. But, before the Kelowna woman died of swelling to her brain, she was also choked around the neck, evidenced by deep hemorrhaging in her neck muscles and around the voice box. “All of these injuries are consistent with an attempt at manual strangulation,” Roy said. At the trial’s opening, the Crown said evidence will be tendered showing Snelson’s DNA matched semen found on Cusworth’s body. Court heard Cusworth and Snelson had been at the same house party the day before her body was found. A pickup truck similar to Snelson’s was also seen by a witness near where Cusworth’s body was found. Snelson was questioned by police in 1993, but wasn’t charged until detectives revisited the investigation in 2009. The outcome of Snelson’s previous trial was appealed and he was ordered to again stand trial. The trial is expected to last four weeks.

Mike Ritcey leads Ruby, a 13-week-old yellow Labrador, over a log during a training exercise. If Ruby passes her initial validation, she will be certified to work as a search-andrescue dog. DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Life-saving dog training Meet Ruby, the search-and-rescue puppy in training CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

he handler places a rag atop a fallen Douglas fir, the ramp sloping upwards to a point nearly two metres above the forest floor. With gentle hands, comforting noises and encouragement — and arms at the ready to catch a fall — Mike Ritcey leads his 13-week old puppy, Ruby, up the log, where she stoops and grabs the rag in her mouth. A few minutes earlier, Ritcey’s longtime companion and working dog Juno found the piece of a shirt, walked up the log, carefully spun and came down the same way like a pro. “You train them when they’re a pup and there’s no hesitation,” Ritcey said, scooping the puppy up in his arms and placing her on the ground. “You want that first experience to be good. You don’t want her crashing to the ground.” Ritcey is a retired paramedic, lifelong outdoorsman and 40-year veteran of search and rescue. It’s early days for Ruby, the gangly yellow Labrador retriever who will one day replace sixyear-old Juno when the day comes for retirement — when her legs can no longer drive her across creeks, over logs and up hillsides searching by scent for something in the forest that shouldn’t be there, something that’s different. All the experiences for the

They say if you’re not making an “idiot of yourself, you’re not doing a good job.”

— MIKE RITCEY

curious Ruby, whose drive to meet new people at this age sometimes overpowers the games Ritcey has designed for her, are designed to make her one of the few validated search and rescue dogs in the province. Ruby is one of about 20 in B.C., along with a newly validated weimaraner also based in Kamloops. RCMP dog handlers assist search and rescue trainers. Ruby and the golden retrievers, German shepherds and other Labs that make up the bulk of the canine workforce — Ritcey calls them “high-drive dogs” — cannot be called out until police give the nod. Unlike police dogs, search and rescue dogs are not trained to follow a track. Instead, they search for items or a disturbance that smells different. “It’s something different that shouldn’t be there,” Ritcey explained. “They don’t need a scent for something [item of clothing from the missing person]. They can distinguish your scent from my scent.” The games and training never stop for Ruby, who will be recertified every year if she passes her initial validation. Farther up the road, Ritcey earlier stashed a soaking hat under a creek bank. Juno circled the area in a small radius, crossing the creek and then trudging

up the running water until she leaned down and triumphantly yanked out the hat, jogging back to Ritcey, who lavished praise. “Whoa — good dog,” he exclaimed. “They say if you’re not making an idiot of yourself, you’re not doing a good job.” The rewards are the timehonoured bits of dog treat. But, Ritcey said, this time he will forgo the food and instead use what’s called “ragging” — a quick game of tug as a reward in order to keep Ruby’s drive to work higher. The work on a search and rescue mission can be arduous, particularly in rugged terrain, with the handler trailing a dog equipped with a GPS collar to clear an area. Canines’ remarkable sense of smell allows them to do remarkable things. Ritcey said at a recent event held for search and rescue dogs, trainers placed items in a lake. “The dogs would swim around and dive down four feet to get them,” he said. The events are also good training because dogs will compete with each other, elevating their skills in the process. Ruby will face her first big test with a validation aimed at six-month-old puppies to ensure they’re on the right track. A full validation comes later.

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK is a politically independent newspaper, published Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 1365B Dalhousie Dr. in Kamloops, B.C. V2C 5P6 Ph: 250-374-7467 | Fax: 250-374-1033 e-mail: editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops This Week is owned by Thompson River Publications Partnership Limited

THE HOT AND NOT OF THE WEEK Kamloops This Week looks at the stories of the week — the good, the bad and all in-between:

HOT: The memory of Dr. Gur Singh. The Kamloops neurosurgeon, who died in March, was remembered last weekend via a $1-million endowment given to the Brain Injury Alliance by Health Minister Terry Lake. The fund, the Dr. Gur Singh Memorial Education Fund, will help people with brain injuries. One of Singh’s legacies in Kamloops is his annual namesake golf tournament, which will continue to raise money for the Kamloops Brain Injury Association. NOT: What was claimed and what has apparently occurred with respect to beer prices in B.C. When the B.C. Liberal government changed the pricing structure of liquor on April 1 — and, in the process, inexplicably eliminating taxes-in prices on the shelves — it claimed there would be no increase in prices. According to an evaluation by the B.C. NDP, beer prices have, for the most part, risen. The New Democrats have data that shows 219 beer products increased between one and five per cent, 123 beer products increased between five and 10 per cent and 74 beer products increased by more than 10 per cent. By contrast, the Official Opposition’s research shows only 19 beers stayed the same price, while a mere eight per cent of the products, primarily imports like Budweiser and Coors Light, saw mild decreases in pricing. It’s enough to make one drink — if one can afford to open a can while juggling increases in MSP premiums, ICBC rates, BC Hydro fees . . .

Referendum reflections

acques Parizeau died this week. There is an entire generation that does not know what that name signifies and that Parizeau was the man who came THISCLOSE to creating a Canada that would have looked far different from the Canada they have grown up learning about. My kids were born in 1999 and 2001 and know a Canada that has 10 provinces, three territories, two official languages and about 35-million residents. They don’t know how near to the razor’s edge we came in 1995 to becoming a nation of nine provinces. Parizeau has been the subject of endless tributes this week, even from his political enemies, those who used their last drop of sweat in fighting him to keep this country together in the weeks and days leading to that remarkable Quebec referendum on sovereignty. That is how it almost always is, with few willing to speak ill of the dead. But, in 1995, as the Oct. 30 independence referendum approached, Parizeau, then at the helm of the Parti Québécois, and Bloc Quebecois leader Lucien Bouchard were living, breathing traitors to the Maple Leaf in the eyes of English Canada. I am sure I recall editorial cartoons portraying one or both as devils. When the votes were counted, Canada was kept together by the slimmest of margins: 50.58 per cent of Quebecers voting cast ballots against independence; 49.42 per cent voted in favour of separating from the nation.

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

Newsroom

MUSINGS Among those eulogizing Parizeau this week was new Parti Quebecois Leader Pierre Karl Péladeau, the Quebecor media head who is intent on trying to reignite the flame of independence among the wicks of voters. Péladeau said Parizeau’s death will give the separatist movement a jolt of energy. Others might point to last year’s provincial election, which saw the Liberals stomp the Parti Québécois, 70 seats to 30 seats, leaving the separatist group with its smallest seat total since 1989 and the smallest share of the popular vote ever. Others might also point to the implosion of the Bloc Quebecois in the 2011 federal election. What Parizeau’s death sparked in me is a vivid memory of my one and only visit to La Belle province a mere 10 months after the vote on separation. It was August 1996 and I flew into a province still throbbing with the raw anger of divisiveness. It was hot and humid in Montreal and there were enough à vendre signs on Ste-Catherine and St.

Laurent to serve as a backdrop in a Great Depression documentary. The reverberation from the referendum was still there. It was in the attitude of the waiter on St. Denis who refused to address me when I asked for a coffee in English. It was in the anger of the woman who asked me a question in a mall, turned on her heel and stalked off in a huff when I offered the little French I knew: Je ne parle pas Français. It was in the traitorous gluttony of the poutine-eating woman draped in the Fleur-de-lis at the Expos-Astros game who refused to stand and respect the national anthem of Canada, deciding instead to devour her dish and give a gastronomic finger to the Maple Leaf. It was also in the teenage panhandler who had the inventiveness to ask me for $10.99 so she could buy a Chinese buffet and laugh when I had to defer her question to someone who could speak French. It was in the newspaper hawker who sold me a Gazette on the patio of Sir Winston Churchill’s at four in the morning and sat to chat about my beloved B.C. Lions’ loss the night before. It was in the impressive attempt by a store clerk who tried like hell to talk to me in English, despite the fact she was 100 per cent Francophone. Jacques Parizeau’s shadow loomed large during that August visit to Montreal. Twenty years later, it still does — and one can hope that shadow is all but smothering the separatist movement for good. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

THE PESTICIDE/HERBICIDE DEBATE

WELCOME WEEDS IF IT MEANS A HEALTHY LIFE Editor: When our hospitals are empty and our society is not suffering from the hellish nightmare of cancer, then we know we are living the best life possible. The reality is people are hurting and we can stop using pesticides until our lives are the most healthful possible. What is so wrong with weeds if our children run and laugh and thrive? Please, let’s try for the most desirable community that we can be.

How things look surely isn’t as important as how wonderful all could feel from the very young to the most frail. All professionals in this field must take time and think about the health of our citizens. Stephanie Gayfer Kamloops

ROUNDUP AND SALT EQUALLY TOXIC TO HUMANS Editor: I believe pesticides and herbicides should be allowed to be used in the Kamloops and across B.C. I have been a forestry contractor for more than 30 years and have applied both pesticides, and herbicides for 10 or more years during that time. One frustrating thing in this whole debate is that most people don’t know the difference between a pesticide and a herbicide. Simply put, pesticides are used to control pests like mosquitoes, bees and mountain pine beetle. Herbicides are used to control vegetation weeds. Of course, some herbicides and pesticides

are more dangerous than others. Part of the process in obtaining a pesticideapplicator licence is knowing and understanding toxicity levels of the product with which you are working. Toxicity levels represent the amount of a product that it would take that, if consumed by a human, could be fatal. The higher the toxicity level number representing a product, the less harmful that product would be to human health; the lower the number, the greater the toxicity results. It’s been a few years since I’ve had an applicators licence and I don’t have a toxicity table in front of me. Even without the toxicity table, though,

there are two products I recall being similar in toxicity levels, meaning it would take roughly the same amount of each product to be ingested by a human to be possibly fatal. Those two products are table salt and Roundup. In other words, a person would have to ingest roughly the same amount of Roundup as he or she would table salt before it would result in a fatality. If the general public understood more about these products, they may not be so afraid of their proper use. Gary Barber Kamloops

MAIN INGREDIENT IN ROUNDUP PROBABLE CARCINOGEN Editor: The World Health Organization recently declared glyphosate (the main ingredient in Round Up) as a probable carcinogen. More than one-billion pounds of pesticides are used in the U.S. each year and approximately 5.6-billion pounds are used worldwide. The evidence damning glyphosate (Roundup) the world’s No. 1 weed killer, has

become too enormous to ignore. Kidney disease, birth defects, severe gastrointestinal ailments, Parkinson’s disease, cancer, nervous system damage, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease and more have been linked to glyphosate by legitimate science, not Monsanto’s junk science. In June, 2008, the Ontario legislature passed the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban Act, which

amended the provincial Pesticide Act to ban the use and sale of lawn and garden pesticides. Monsanto products have been banned in many countries. Kamloops has a long way to go to catch up with the rest of the world. Thankfully, we have a few bright lights on our city council. Linda Davidson Kamloops

Day scholars lawsuit certified as class action A lawsuit launched by Tk’emlups Indian Band has been certified as a class action, representing every residential day scholar in Canada. Lawyers for the Tk’emlups and Sechelt Indian bands made the successful argument in April. The certification in federal court means, unless appealed by Ottawa, every aboriginal person who attended residential school

as a day scholar is represented and benefits from any settlement or ruling. TIB Chief Shane Gottfriedson declined a interview until further discussions about the ruling. But, in a press release, he called it “one more significant step.” Only those who lived in dormitories or suffered specific abuses were eligible under

claims settled in 2008 with the federal government. The common-experience payment negotiated with Ottawa in 2008 provided $10,000 for the first year in a residential school, followed by $3,000 per year thereafter. Money was also paid for commemorative activities and the creation of a Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

The B.C. Lottery Corporation announced several executive positions in Kamloops on Wednesday, confirming its intention to reaffirm the city’s head office status. Jim Lightbody was named as the new CEO in April. Lightbody named BCLC’s new chief financial officer and its vice-president of human resources this week and said they will be located in Kamloops. Under former CEO Michael Grayden, nearly

Meanwhile, the Shuswap Nation Tribal Council has released a statement on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s report this week on residential-school survivors. “With the Truth and Reconciliation Commission coming to a close, its findings don’t come as a surprise to us,” said Shuswap Nation Tribal Council Chief Wayne Christian.

“Our people live with the realities and ramifications resultant from the residential school ‘cultural genocidal’ regime every day. “The prevailing effects of this horrendous stain in our history can be most clearly seen in the current child welfare system and its over-representation of aboriginal children and families.”

all the lottery corporation’s executive positions, including his own, were quietly moved to the Coast. The new CFO is Amanda Hobson, who has been working interim in the position. The new human resources head is Jamie Callahan, who will locate here. In a statement, Lightbody said the appointments ensure four senior positions, including the CEO’s, are based out of the Kamloops office.

Cavers wants city to upgrade ‘ghettoized’ bus benches There are many bus stops in Kamloops without benches or shelters and Coun. Donovan Cavers wants his colleagues to look at a new model for transit waiting areas once the city’s contract with Creative Outdoor Advertising expires in 2017.

ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

After bus rider Elaine Desharnais wrote to KTW last month with complaints about the lack of benches at some of the city’s stops, Coun. Donovan Cavers said he is hoping he can convince his colleagues to look at a new model for shelters and benches. But, even if he succeeds, the change will not happen for at least a few years. The city is in the middle of a five-year contract with Creative Outdoor Advertising, which pays a small fee for the privilege of installing its benches and shelters at more than 150 stops. In return for providing the benches, the Ontario-based company is allowed to sell advertising at the bus stops. “The limiting factor right now is how much advertising money the bench and shelter company makes,” said City of Kamloops engineering manager Deven Matkowski.

shelters and benches added to its stock if an area is deemed a high priority, as the city did recently at a bus stop near Walmart. “We looked at things like proximity to seniors’ centres, schools, high-used stops and part of it, too, is availability of space,” Matkowski said. “We won’t put a shelter where we don’t have room for it.” Cavers said if the city starts buying its own benches once the contract is up, it could look at a variety of models, from four-seat benches at busy stops to one-seat models that are bolted directly to the bus-sign poles

in tighter spots. He said it could also increase the number of stops with a bench or shelter. Cavers said he has been told bringing the bus bench program inhouse would cost about $330,000, plus maintenance costs. While the city wants to avoid spending those dollars, Cavers said it would be worth it to have better benches for transit users. “The ones we have now, there’s a lot of issues with water pooling on them because

they don’t drain properly, and there’s the fact that there’s advertising — it sort of creates a ghettoized perspective that a lot of people have on the transit system,” Cavers said, suggesting the city post public notices at stops instead of ads. Cavers said he’s not convinced maintenance costs for the benches would be major, since the city is still responsible for many activities at bus stops, including snowremoval and emptying nearby waste bins.

TNRD by the numbers ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

Expenses are up but remuneration is down according to documents released at the last Thompson-Nicola Regional District board of directors meeting. While remuneration for municipal, electoral area and alternate directors decreased by nearly $2,000 in 2014 — falling to $495,760, from $497,716 in 2013 — expenses were up nearly $10,000, increasing from $153,738 the year prior to $164,614 in 2014. “I think we were pretty much in line or under what we budgeted for,” TNRD director of finance Doug Rae told KTW.

Leading the way in remuneration was former Barriere mayor Bill Humphreys, who charged $31,978. As the director for the district of Barriere, Humphreys’ base salary was set at nearly $13,500, but he added an additional $18,000 and change in his role as chair of the board of directors. Close behind Humphreys was electoral area B director and TNRD vice-chair Willow Macdonald, who was paid $30,933. Macdonald received about $23,000 by virtue of her directorship and about $2,200 as the TNRD’s vice-chair. In addition to their base salaries, directors receive remuneration for time spent in transit to and from obliga-

tions and attendance at a variety of meetings, hearings, seminars and conferences. On the expenses side, former Ashcroft mayor Tim Pennell topped the charts, claiming $18,245. Macdonald was again a close second, claiming $17,775, for the most part by virtue of making her home in Blue River. Humphreys was third on the list, claiming reimbursements totalling $16,212. Expense accounts can be used to reimburse costs of meals, overnight stays, conferences and conventions incurred while conducting TNRD business, as well as for communication and office supports.

MONCTON — The wives of three dead Mounties say the outpouring of public support has helped them and their families in the year since their husbands were gunned down in Moncton. Angela Gevaudan, Nadine Larche and Rachael Ross stood before hundreds of people gathered at a ceremony in the city yesterday to unveil the winning design for a memorial to the RCMP officers who were killed by Justin Bourque last June 4. Constables Dave Ross, Fabrice Gevaudan and Doug Larche died and constables Eric Dubois and Darlene Goguen were wounded by Bourque. Gevaudan said the wives wanted to show their gratitude for a community that has embraced them and their families since the officers rushed to a neighbourhood in the city’s north end to try and apprehend Bourque. “To everyone near and far who has been there for us, thank you,” she said. “Your light guides us as we rebuild our lives and move forward.” The women also thanked the government and the artist who designed a memorial statue that features the three officers. They received a standing ovation from the crowd in attendance for the ceremony in front of Moncton City Hall, including representatives of all three levels of government. The federal budget tabled in

April allocated up to $1 million for the memorial, which will be placed in a waterfront park. Prime Minister Stephen Harper said the shootings deeply affected the entire country and that memories of the fallen officers will endure. “This violent incident was a vivid reminder of the dangers that our courageous men and women in uniform face every day as they protect communities across our nation,” Harper said in a statement. “The ultimate sacrifices made by constables Larche, Ross and Gevaudan will not be forgotten. “We will honour their memory and we will work to ensure that the RCMP has the resources it needs to counter those who threaten the safety and security of Canadians.” That message was repeated in Moncton by Steven Blaney, the federal minister of public safety. “We are here to support the resources of the RCMP, support their policy, but also tell them thank you,” he said. The force has been charged with not properly equipping its officers with adequate training and resources, such as patrol carbines. Still, RCMP Assistant Commissioner Roger Brown said the force in Moncton has better equipment than it had a year ago. “I think we’re much better positioned, but we can’t just say we’re there,” he said. “If we say that we’re there, then I think we will fail the membership and

we’ll fail the public because then we will become complacent.” Brown said there will be an opportunity to speak in more detail about the resources for the force, but yesterday was not the day for that. Moncton saw an outpouring of emotion in the days and weeks following the shootings. People often lined up to hug police officers, shake their hands or just thank them for their duty. The RCMP in New Brunswick posted a video to YouTube on Wednesday to thank residents for their support. The video features members of the Codiac Regional RCMP and support staff holding personalized “Thank You” signs for the people of Moncton, Dieppe and Riverview. “As a police force, it’s our job to look after the community, to look after you, but during our darkest days you looked after us,” reads the video’s opening caption. “For the past year, the support the people of Moncton, Dieppe and Riverview have provided us, both personally and professionally, has been incredible.” The RCMP Musical Ride paid tribute to the fallen officers with a free performance at the Magnetic Hill concert site in Moncton late yesterday. Bourque was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 75 years after pleading guilty to three counts of firstdegree murder and two counts of attempted murder.

Anti-terrorism gets funding boost TORONTO — Prime Minister Stephen Harper played up his tough-on-terrorism credentials yesterday, announcing a trifecta of measures aimed at beefing up the country’s ability to thwart violent jihad. The measures, some previously announced in the budget, include more money for Canada’s spy agency and more scrutiny of foreign visitors. “Jihadi terrorists have threatened Canada and Canadians by name and with a clarity that leaves no room for doubt,” Harper told a room filled with hand-picked observers. “We are increasing our capacity to detect terrorists and terrorist

plots, to choke off the financing that supports them and to secure our borders against known and suspected terrorists who wish to enter.’’ Among those on hand for the preelection announcement at a north-end hotel were victims of terrorism, including Cindy Barkway, whose husband Dave died in the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Centre in New York. “I truly hope that Canadians will be safer from these combined efforts,” Barkway said to applause. During his speech, Harper repeated a familiar refrain — that his Conservatives are the only party that can be counted on to protect the security inter-

ests of Canadians. “There’s a lot of talk about the terrorist threat,” Harper said. “Our Conservative government chooses to do something about it.” Under the new measures, the federal government will commit $137 million more over five years to Canada’s Security and Intelligence Service, along with $41 million more a year afterward. The additional funding, Harper said, would allow CSIS to beef up its frontline capacity to counter terrorist threats and activities. Some experts, however, have argued the earmarked money simply isn’t much given the current threat environment, especially with legislation giving

the agency more power to stop Canadians from joining terror groups abroad, disrupt bank transactions and secretly interfere with radical websites. Recognizing that terrorists need cash, Harper also announced Canada’s tax authorities will put more emphasis on uncovering terrorrelated financing and the charities and organizations behind the money. The government also plans to expand biometric screening to all foreign citizens coming to Canada — Americans are exempt — including visitors who need visas, work or study permits and immigrants. – The Canadian Press

‘Young Kamloops’ makes name for himself with Leos Kamloops Broncos’ receiver Derek Yachison is excelling at Lions’ camp MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

erek Yachison is a little bit older, a touch wiser and inching closer to cracking the B.C. Lions’ roster as he attends his second training camp with the CFL club at Hillside Stadium. “He’s at a stage in his footballplaying career where he’s still young and those young guys make big strides,” Lions’ quarterback Travis Lulay said following a walk-through practice inside the Tournament Capital fieldhouse, with rain again forcing the action indoors. “He works his tail off, he has a good attitude about him and he’s willing to learn. That’s No. 1 in a young guy. He’s got to be willing to take it all in and Young Kamloops does a good job of that.” “And, yeah, we still call him Young Kamloops.” Yachison, from Winnipeg, has not been able to shake the moniker bestowed on him at camp last year by his Lions’ teammates, a nickname derived from his status as a star wideout with the Kamloops Broncos. After an impressive showing at Lions’ rookie camp last June, he was invited to main camp and lasted about two weeks before the axe fell. It was clear the Lions were not

Fanfest this weekend The City of Kamloops, in partnership with the B.C. Lions, is hosting the fifth annual B.C. Lions Fanfest, presented by BC Egg, on Sunday. The event will run from 12:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Hillside Stadium. B.C. will practise from 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. and an autograph session will follow at 3:15 pm. The Leos will conduct a football clinic from 4 p.m. to 4:45 p.m., offering children ages six to 13 a chance to learn from the professionals Fans will enjoy entertainment, including performances by the Felions (the Lions’ cheerleaders) and a chance to meet Leo the Lion. Other activities include inflatable games and face painting.

just doing the local junior club a favour by inviting Yachison to camp when he was signed to the Leos’ practice roster in September. The intelligent route-runner who is not afraid of the middle of the field split time last season between Surrey, practising with the Lions, and the Tournament Capital, playing with the Broncos. Yachison’s plan is to do the

same thing this year, entering his final year of junior eligibility with the Broncos, who had their best season in franchise history in 2014 and nearly upset the eventual B.C. Football Conference champion Langley Rams in Round 1 of the playoffs. “I had a strong rookie camp again this year, especially compared to last year, and I made it on to main camp, so I’m nothing but happy,” said Yachison, who went off for 172 yards and two touchdowns in the 48-46 playoff loss to Langley. “It’s night and day from last year, when I was like a deer in the headlights, and now I feel that I

belong and everything is coming a lot more easy. “I’m still a while away from where I need to be, but it’s night and day from last year.” When Mike Benevides was fired in November following B.C.’s embarrassing first-round playoff loss to Montreal, it became clear most players would start with a clean slate under new boss Jeff Tedford. That is true of Yachison, but he might benefit from the inclusion of Khari Jones on Tedford’s staff, which was no sure thing when the former University of California head coach took the Lions’ reins. Jones, who last season was the

Leos’ offensive co-ordinator, was replaced by George Cortez and moved into the role of receivers coach. Yachison will likely be cut and returned to the Broncos, but he is determined to make an impression and become the first Bronco to graduate into the CFL. “I 100 per cent plan on taking my last year here with the Broncos, practising with Lions and playing with the Broncos, and then we’ll see what happens after the [BCFC] season,” Yachison said. “I’ve just got to keep my head in the playbook. I don’t get as many reps as the other guys, so I’ve got to make them count.”

BOSHER BECOMES FIRST PERSON FROM KAMLOOPS TO CLAIM NCAA DIVISION 1 LACROSSE CROWN ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Jeremy Bosher couldn’t have asked for much more from his rookie season in the NCAA. A freshman at Denver University, Bosher helped the Pioneers field lacrosse team capture the school’s first-ever Division 1 national championship in lacrosse. “Winning a championship was unbelievable, there’s honestly no words to describe it,” Bosher told KTW from Denver, where he was finishing off his last few exams. The Pioneers defeated the Maryland Terrapins 10-5 in the championship game, in front of more than 24,000 fans at Lincoln Financial Field, home of the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles. “It was one of the best feelings I’ve had throughout my whole

career,” he said. The Pioneers had an outstanding season in 2015, playing to a 13-2 record en route to the first round of the national championship tournament. They defeated Georgetown to win the Big East conference championship as well, Denver’s third title all-time and second in two seasons in the Big East. The Pioneers finished the season 17-2 overall. Entering the national championship tournament as the No. 4 seed, Denver defeated Brown and Ohio State in the first and second rounds of the playoffs, before facing off against the No. 1 seed, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, in a semifinal. The Pioneers captured an 11-10 overtime victory. “The semifinal against Notre Dame, that was a good one, that went to overtime, that was the nervous

one,” said Justin Bosher, Jeremy’s father and the head coach of the Kamloops Venom junior B lacrosse team. Justin and the family watched from their home in Kamloops. “It’s almost surreal,” he continued. “You see him on TV and you still think of him as that little kid in the back yard.” The win over the Irish gave Denver a berth in the national championship final, which they easily won against Maryland. The Terrapins were making their third appearance in the last five national title games and were 4-0 all-time against Denver heading into matchup. With the win, the Pioneers became the first team outside of the eastern time zone to win the Division 1 field lacrosse championship. “Right from the get-go, we wanted this, we thought it was our year,” Jeremy said. “We practised like

we wanted it and it came through at the end.” Jeremy was among the freshmen leaders in games played, suiting up in 13 matches throughout the season. Only two first-year players saw more field time than the Kamloops native. Though he didn’t get an opportunity to play in the playoffs, Jeremy still feels he played a role in capturing the national championship, practising with the regulars and helping to prepare the defence for what it would see from its opponents. He hopes to be a full-time player as a sophomore next season. He’ll be continuing to train this summer and will head to the coast upon his return to B.C., to play box lacrosse for the New Westminster Salmonbellies of the Western Lacrosse Association. “Obviously, it was a whole step up form

Richards comes full circle STEPHEN WHYNO

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TAMPA, Fla. — Eleven years ago, Brad Richards was a freshfaced 24-year-old star leading the Tampa Bay Lightning to the Stanley Cup. Much has changed for Richards since then, and it hit him when his family recently spent time with Vincent Lecavalier and his kids. Lecavalier was a another young star on the Lightning’s 2004 Cup-winning team, while Richards took the Conn Smythe trophy that year as playoff MVP. Now Richards is 35 and a role player on a playoff-seasoned Chicago Blackhawks team led by Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane and Duncan Keith that’s facing the Lightning in the final. Chicago will attempt to take a 2-0 series lead tomorrow in Tampa. Game time is 4:15 p.m. “Brings back memories where I was on the other side,’’ Richards said Tuesday. “It’s full-circle, I guess you could say. Now I’m trying to win one the other way.’’ During Tampa Bay’s 2004 run, Richards had 12 goals and 14 assists in 23 games. But, he also looked to captain Dave Andreychuk and veterans Tim Taylor and Darryl Sydor for direction. “If they were nervous, I guess I’m nervous and if they were happy I would be happy,’’ Richards said. “Now, you’re your own person, your own player.’’ As Chicago’s secondline centre, Richards

had two goals and nine assists through three rounds. It took some time for the Murray Harbour, P.E.I., native to adapt, but he finally found a niche in Chicago. His road from hoisting the Cup in 2004 to now has been a twisting one. The next season was marred by a season-long lockout — “You had to be living on the moon if you didn’t think there was going to be a lockout in ‘04,’’ Richards said — and that prevented his Lightning group from challenging for another Cup. Traded to the Stars in 2008, Richards considered returning to Tampa Bay as a free agent three years later. He spoke with general manager

Steve Yzerman, but ultimately decided to sign a $60-million US, nine-year deal with the Rangers. Suffice it to say that didn’t work out, as coach John Tortorella, his coach during the Cup run, demoted and scratched him. A trip to the final under Alain Vigneault last year ignited his desire to get back to a contender after the Rangers bought him out last summer. Richards was seen a missing piece for the Blackhawks, who had Michal Handzus in 2013 but had been searching for a secondline centre since. “Any time you lose a centreman like that, you’re trying to find that for your team,’’ GM Stan Bowman said.

“In talking to Brad, obviously his desire was to play on a strong team, have a chance to get back to the final.’’ A salary-cap friendly $2-million, one-year deal with the Blackhawks made it happen. “When Chicago called, it was a nobrainer,’’ Richards said. “It was a fresh start where I could kind of regroup and kind of build towards something. Now I feel as good as I have probably in three or four years.’’ Richards worked out with Martin St. Louis’ trainer, Ben Prentiss, to improve his conditioning and the veteran has tried to work on his speed to keep up in the ever-quicker NHL. He had to earn coach Joel Quenneville’s trust and eventually did, playing alongside Kane. “I think he got better with a little bit more ice time,’’ Quenneville said. “Got a chance to play with Kaner. Took off. Looked like there was a little magic there. Looked like he got more quickness to his game, more puck possession. I think he got more comfortable in our system.’’ Just being around Toews and Kane reinvigorated his love of hockey, and playing with them made him ratchet up his game. “The players around me are so exciting to play with,’’ Richards said Wednesday. “Coming here and seeing this culture and how professional these guys are, it’s easy to get on board and try to follow the lead of these top guys.’’

Herdman leading Canada into World Cup NEIL DAVIDSON

THE CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — The Canadian women call John Herdman the “Black Flash’’ when their coach joins in on their soccer practices. It’s a name he gave himself, they note. Herdman, who played for his university as well as semi-pro teams back home in England, has a sense of humour. He also likes his party tricks on the ball. “He does have some moves,’’ said veteran midfielder Diana Matheson. “The Black Flash’s downfall is that he maybe uses too many moves and he gets himself into trouble and maybe causes a few goals against his team that way.’’ But, most of all, Herdman is a master motivator and source of inspiration, his players say. No one works harder or longer. They say Herdman has made them better players and better people. Those skills will be put to the ultimate soccer test starting this weekend — the Women’s World Cup. Canada, ranked eighth in the world, opens tomorrow against No. 16 China at Commonwealth Stadium. Herdman’s journey with the Canadian women started when he took over from Carolina Morace in the wake of a disastrous 2011 World Cup that saw Canada finish last. Ask the players what state they were in after the tournament in Germany, almost every one uses the same word. Broken. When Herdman coached the New Zealand women, his team was bound together by the Maori heritage. The Football Ferns had a Maori spiritual leader. One of his mentors told Herdman he needed to find a way to get the Canadian team reconnected after the “trauma’’ of the 2011 World Cup. In doing his homework, Herdman was struck by Canada’s patriotism. “My first piece was like ‘Who are you as Canadians?’ That was my first question. Tell us,’’ said Herdman. “And we went 30 minutes in a meeting. They’d never been asked that before by a Norwegian or an Italian coach. “They had never been asked anything about why they do what they do. What do you do it for. Ever. Can you believe that? In your career you’ve

never been asked why you do it, and you wonder why they failed. Because they’ve just been putting that jersey on. And once they’d earned it, after a while it just become normality. ‘Put this on. Why do we do this. Well, represent Canada.’’’ In Canada’s final warmup game last week, every member of the match-day squad took the field for the anthems before facing England in Hamilton. They put their arms over their neighbours’ shoulder and sang “O Canada’’ together. Only the English starters were on the field. Herdman and his management team leave no stone unturned. The 39-year-old Herdman is a stylish, compact package. In a black tracksuit, he can look like an Italian movie star slumming. He loves family, music — something is always playing in the background when he meets with the team — and his beloved vintage VW Bug. And his energy and enthusiasm seems boundless. A former university lecturer in England, he is cerebral, but able to connect. In many ways, he’s a Geordie Tony Robbins, pushing his charges to improve and connect on and off the field. In one sense, he has already succeeded. Unlike their male counterparts, there is no sweetheart contract waiting for them. And so while full-time athletes, they have expanded their horizons. Chiropractor, fitness DVD guru, artist, Zumba instructor, food truck owner and documentary video-shooter are just some of their off-field pursuits. Herdman has challenged his players to become true leaders, a subject they have literally studied off the field through books and lectures. He has had them strip away defence mechanisms to share their emotions with their teammates. Ask his players what it like working under Herdman and they say it’s an honour and a privilege. “[He’s] somebody that knows absolutely how to get the best out of people,’’ said veteran defender Carmelina Moscato. “He’s created the environment for that. “And you talk about squeezing blood from a rock, I mean he’s really done it with a lot of us — reinventing us.”

‘No logical explanation’ for ill Williams’ comeback at French Open HOWARD FENDRICH

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PARIS — At changeovers in her French Open semifinal, an ill Serena Williams walked ever so slowly to the sideline, where even lowering herself to sit seemed difficult. With the temperature nearing 30 C, she pressed white towels filled with ice against her forehead and neck and guzzled water. Early on, her play was as poor as her

health. She failed to chase balls she normally would. As telling as anything: On those occasions when she did win points, Williams mostly refrained from her familiar fist pumps and yells of “Come on!’’ Never can count her out, though, no matter the circumstances. Down a set and a break Thursday, and clearly not herself, Williams summoned the resolve to reach the final by beating 23rd-seeded Timea Bacsinszky of Switzerland 4-6, 6-3, 6-0. After getting broken to fall behind 3-2 in the second set, Williams claimed the

final 10 games. She had a 12-2 edge in winners in the final set. “Stunning,’’ said Williams’ coach, Patrick Mouratoglou. “This is the difference between champions and everyone else. There is no logical explanation.’’ Mouratoglou said the No. 1-ranked Williams has been dealing for several days with the flu, including a fever and difficulty breathing. Williams skipped her news conference — something sister Venus did after losing last week, drawing a $3,000 fine — and

issued a statement reading: “I have been feeling unwell for a few days, and . . . I needed to see the tournament doctor.’’ Now, one victory from her third French Open championship and 20th major title in all, Williams faces 13th-seeded Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic tomorrow. “I tried everything. I thought if I lose, I will lose with a fight,’’ Williams told crowd in French. “I tried, I tried. I found the energy. I don’t know where, but I found it. And I won. I hope that on Saturday, I hope.’’

Y Obituaries & In Memoriam Z KARL ERIC DALIN

JAMES LAWRENCE DEWEY

December 31, 1925 - May 30, 2015 Our family lost a hero on Saturday, May 30, when Karl Eric Dalin left us to join his beautiful Olive Lillian. Karl was born December 31, 1925 on his family’s homestead in Celista, B.C. He grew up in the embrace of loving and hardworking people. He passed on that love and work ethic to his own children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. He left home to work on Colony Farm in Port Coquitlam at 15 to lighten the load on his family. Later, his dad took him to the CPR station in Kamloops, which began a 43-year career as a railroader, with a two-year break to serve his country during the Second World War. He loved the railroad and particularly steam locomotives, where he started as a wiper, then a fireman and eventually a train engineer for the majority of his career. Although he was a strong supporter of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, he also often praised CP Rail as a good and fair employer. He was thrilled with the pensions he got from both CP Rail and Veterans Affairs. A railroad job took him and his younger brother William to Cranbrook in 1946 where he met Olive Morgan at a dance. The brothers had recently purchased a new car, but poor Will rarely got to use it once the romance began. In the end though, Karl got the girl and Will got the car since Karl couldn’t afford both. Karl and Olive married in 1949. They had three children in Cranbrook. The railroad took them to Kamloops in 1956 where their fourth child was born. They bought property in Dallas through the Veterans’ Land Act, which was a stroke of luck because it was here neighbours became like family. Karl’s birthday on December 31 became an excuse for a New Year’s Eve party in the Dalin basement for 25 consecutive years. Karl had a huge vegetable garden that he and Olive carefully harvested together; ensuring homegrown vegetables were available all year long. Summers were spent at the family cabin close to where many Dalin kin still lived. Karl would spend hours driving Will’s motor boat, teaching his own kids to water ski, but also a slew of cousins who seemed to know exactly when the boat was on the water. He also loved to play bridge under the willow tree with his sisters

and brothers and then tennis in the evenings. Karl and Olive retired to Celista, building a home beside the cabin on the shores of the North Shuswap. They had many happy years creating flower gardens in the natural rock and going on many trips with dear friends Bob and Alice Perry. They also cross-country skied and on winter evenings, Karl played badminton. In 1994, Olive was diagnosed with ALS. As the disease progressed, Karl gradually took over more and more of the daily duties he had never done before. For the last three years, Olive could do no more than lift one finger, but her mind and smile remained bright. This incredible man dressed her every morning, he fed her by hand, and provided her care with tender patience and love right up to the end. He carried on enjoying life, going to Reno and Las Vegas with Will – a pair of card experts who always played within their limits. They were also regulars at the “club” in Kamloops. The brothers shared a deep friendship. Each one looked after the other. In recent years, as Karl became somewhat forgetful, Will proved he truly was his brother’s keeper. Thank you so much, Uncle, for your unwavering support of our dad. Karl was a devoted son and brother to father Johan, mother Margaret, sisters Elsie (Bert), Annie (Dave), Winnie (Bob), and brothers Dan (Mildred), William, and Chris (Yvonne). He also cared deeply for Olive’s Morgan family. He is survived by brothers-in-law Wayne (Jerri), Leroy (Pat) and Robert (Judi), and sister-in-law Arlene. He was the best husband, father, father-in-law, brother, grandfather and greatgrandfather a person could ask for. Predeceased by his wife, Olive, and sonin-law, Duwayne, whom he thought so much of. He is survived by his brother Will, and by children Phyllis Ring, Sharon Arnish (Rick), Tim Dalin (Jocelyn), Susan Duncan (Alexander Watt). He is dearly remembered by grandchildren Justin (Michelle), Todd (Lesley), Kent (Deanna), Tracey (Jason), Krista, Chad, Robbyn (Nathan), Candace (Jeff), Shea (Kay), Alex (Craig), Olivia; and great-grandchildren Avery, Paige, Beckett, McKenna, Hudson, Jenna, Tanner, Allison, Morgan and Jonah. Thank you to his lake neighbours Ray and Ruth Robinson who were always there for him. Karl was described by many people as the hardest working man they ever met. That strength kept his heart beating for a long time after illness would have laid any other person flat.

DAVID ALLAN THOMSON “WHISKERS” February 13, 1947 ~ May 27, 2015 Dave was born in Yellowknife, NWT, to Buck and Helen Thomson. He was raised in Edmonton, and met Diane in North Vancouver where they began their family in 1969. Dave chose the trucking industry as his career. He logged for several years in Kamloops where he was nick-named “Whiskers.” Dave preferred to long haul and has travelled most of North America over a 40 year span, many times with Diane and Duke by his side. Dave’s career and life were ended by mesothelioma. Dave is survived by his loving wife Diane, wonderful children Tania (Dean Deegan), Tom and Keri Thomson, his beautiful grandchildren Blake (Amanda) Deegan, Kurt (Autumn), Brett and Taylor Thomson. Dave’s first great-grandchild, Marie Rey, was born in Kamloops two months ago. Dave is also survived by his sister Deb (Lyle Gitzel), nephew Kyle (Char) Gitzel, and his little buddy greatnephew, little Jesse. Dave was predeceased by his dad Buck, brother Neil, sister Wanda, and the tragic passing of his nephew Jesse Gitzel. Dave, along with his best buddies Lyle and Willie, shared a ton of adventures, and “misadventures” that we will call “fond memories.” Dave loved you guys a great deal. Dave’s brothers from another mother, Ken and Gerry, spent many miles and laughter together. Dave often carried us, and we will now carry him, in our hearts, forever. We love you, Dad. Dave rallied at the end to see his son, Tom, and was surrounded by the rest of his family when he went on to his next adventure, thanks, Deb.

Transcending time and space in the Bible

ne of the coolest features of the starship Enterprise was its transporter. Kirk, Spock and Bones would step onto the platform and, manipulating the distinctive slide controls, Scotty would disassemble their molecules and reconstitute them in a completely different place. And, when they needed to return to the ship, Captain Kirk would speak his famous line: “Beam me up, Scotty.” For 1966, it was fascinating sci-fi. Obviously, we can’t do that — yet. A jet or a bullet train is pretty much as fast as we can get from point A to point B. German engineers, however, have created a machine to scan an object, and rebuild it in a new location.

als appear to transcend time and space and miraculously appear somewhere else. The first Star Trek moment comes in the story of Gideon in the book of Judges. The Israelites are being oppressed and an angel of the Lord appears to persuade Gideon to lead a successful rebellion. Gideon asks for proof that this mission is a true sign from God and invites the angel to join him in a meal. The angel instructs him to put the food on a rock. “Then the angel of the Lord put out the end of the staff that was in his hand and touched the meat and the unleavened bread; and fire sprang up from the rock and consumed [them]. Then the angel of the Lord vanished from his sight.” Gideon was convinced. Of course, angelic appearances and disappearances aren’t really that miraculous — it’s

what they do. But, when an ordinary human is transported over time and space — that’s miraculous. Consider the story of Philip, one of the earliest evangelists, found in the book of Acts. He is directed by the Holy Spirit to go from Jerusalem to Gaza to speak with an Ethiopian court official who had been on a personal pilgrimage to the Temple and was returning home. Philip helps him interpret a passage of scripture, then baptizes him. Immediately after the baptism, “the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away; and the eunuch saw him no more . . . but Philip found himself at Azotus . . .” The distance between Gaza and Azotus is about 55 kilometres. Since Philip’s primary task was evangelizing the cities of

Judea and Samaria, it would seem God decided there was no time to waste and He needed him elsewhere pronto. Jesus was transported miraculously several times. Of course, the most remarkable is his resurrection from the tomb after his crucifixion. Jesus’ body was wrapped in a linen cloth but, when the empty tomb was found, the linen wrappings were intact, i.e. his body had disappeared from within the wrappings. Jesus later appeared to two disciples on the road to Emmaus after his resurrection, but they did not recognize him. After explaining how all the prophets spoke to the events of his crucifixion, “they recognized Him; and He vanished from their sight.” Later, the disciples were in a locked room, fearful of being arrested by the religious

police. Jesus suddenly appeared among them, and to prove he was real, asked for a piece of fish and ate it. Eight days later, he appeared again inside a locked room to prove his resurrection to “doubting” Thomas, who had been absent at the first appearance. One of the more interesting “teleportations” involved an entire boatload of disciples. The disciples were on the Sea of Galilee, attempting a night crossing to Capernum. Jesus was not with them. They were rowing hard against a strong wind and choppy waves when Jesus appeared, walking on the water. They took him into the boat “and immediately the boat reached the shore where they were heading.” The crowds of people, who knew Jesus had not left in the only boat with the disciples, were astonished to find

him on the other side the next day. “Rabbi, when did you get here?” they asked incredulously. Scripture also teaches that all believers who are left on earth at the Second Coming will be taken up bodily into heaven. In Paul’s first letter to the Thessalonian church, he writes, “Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Lord.” Beam me up, Lord.

PLAYING IN THE PARK

Three-year-old Emerson Laird makes the buzzing sound of a racing engine as he steers his way through Riverside Park during a recent outing with his dad Tyler.

M Y PET ... Is a dog named Tazo.

Tazo is a 9 year old Papillon. We adopted Tazo from Petland when he was only 12 weeks old. He had the biggest ears I have ever seen on a puppy and when he looked up at me, I was totally hooked. Tazo has been part of our family for 9 years now, and he is my little buddy. His favourite game is chase and he expects me to chase him at least once or twice a day. He loves going for car rides, performing his “tricks” for us, and hanging out with me when I do yard work. His celebrity look-a-like is Gizmo from the Gremlins.

Workout comes to park JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

erra Lundy is used to funny looks at Riverside

Park. But the Kamloops fitness instructor just keeps bouncing. “It’s like Zumba or any other thing,” she said. Kangoo jumps — springed boots originally designed for those recovering from injuries — have made their way to Kamloops. Lundy, who has been a fitness instructor in Kamloops for about eight years, started Kangoo Club Kamloops and began teaching classes of different levels for kids, adults and seniors in Riverside Park in May. A typical workout might include jogging, jumping, squatting and stretching in the boots but Lundy said the hardest part is standing still. They took off in Europe and have been in Toronto about three years, she said. “We’re the last to get all the cool stuff,” she said. Lundy works with seniors and said what prompted her to get

KTW KANGOOS Jessica Wallace

It was only 10 minutes, Terra Lundy told a sweaty Jessica Klymchuk and myself, and classes are usually about 60. Just 10? I thought, wiping sweat from my forehead. To sum up my first time wearing Kangoo jumps, think of doing an aerobics class while wearing platform shoes on a bosu ball — it doesn’t take long to work up a sweat with all of the balancing. We had several “lookie-loos,” as Lundy, fitness instructor and owner of Kangoo Club Kamloops, calls them during a sample of the new workout that has landed in. While I was slightly embarrassed, mostly due to KTW photographer Dave Eagles waiting to snap unflattering angles, I could only laugh because I truly felt like some kind of weird, bouncy fitness kangaroo. I was surprised the boots didn’t tip side to side — I first thought I’d easily roll an ankle — and, instead, I learned to work with the momentum to better get into postures. I’m not sure I would work this into a weekly routine or anything, but it was fun to try. I mean, how often do you get to bounce around Riverside Park? Kangoo training and purchase about 25 sets of the boots for students is the low impact and high calorie burn. More importantly: “It’s about fun,”

Jessica Klymchuk

One thing is for sure: I was not prepared to sweat that morning. When Jessica Wallace said we were going to try out the springy boots we first saw at the Boogie the Bridge expo, I envisioned us relaxingly jumping around and maybe doing some — I don’t know — hopscotch. Ten minutes of cardio and push ups later, I had a much better understanding of the benefits these Kangoo jumps. Running feels like floating, but jumping jacks take a lot out of you. Squats were twice as hard, since half the battle is balancing. The workout is low impact but, don’t be fooled, it’s hard. The weight of the boots became increasingly apparent the more I tried to keep up during our cardio portion — think rollerblades with a bounce instead of a glide. I was most surprised to hear how difficult it is to fall, especially since in my first attempt to stand up I quickly sat back down. But it didn’t take long to adjust and the novelty didn’t wear off. I’d get back on them, if only to know I’m burning calories that much faster.

Lundy said. “They make you smile, they make you feel like a kid again.” Lundy teaches in Riverside Park throughout the week

and also in Chase. A one-hour drop-in class is $15 including boot rental. For more information, search for the club on Facebook.

Festival schedule en route STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

It all started in 1964, when two musicians were brought together by the host of a latenight radio show called The Midnight Special. Little did that host, Gert Chiarito, know what she had done. The next year, the two performers — Phil Lesh and Jerry Garcia — had added Bill Kreutzmann, Ron McKernan and Bob Weir and called themselves The Grateful Dad. Five decades later, the remaining four — Garcia died a decade ago — are preparing a series of concerts to mark the anniversary and, throughout the U.S., festivals will be celebrating songs like Casey Jones, Truckin’, Touch of Grey and Uncle John’s Band. In Western Canada, the only festival that’s joining in the Deadhead movement is the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival. Artistic director Peter North said the Aug. 14 to Aug. 16 edition of the annual musicfest will feature a variety of artists paying tribute to the band and Garcia, including Brothers Keeper — which includes two members of the extended Grateful Dead family, Jason Crosby and Mark Karan. Crosby has performed with Weir and Lesh while Karan toured with Weir, Lesh, Mikey Hart and Bruce Horbsby as The Other Ones. Karan was also part of Weir’s band Ratdog. Both the electric and acoustic sides of the Dead’s music will be featured. More changes have also been announced for how the festival will be presented this year, the main one being a move to “dress it up a bit more, add more illumination at night,” North said. “Just making it magical.” Earlier this year, North announced the festival would start later in the morning

The 18th Annual SCT&I Charity Golf Tournament in support of

Brothers Keeper is coming to Salmon Arm this summer.

and open with just two stages — in past years, the two main days opened early with five stages — to ensure performers had good-sized audiences. The plan is to grow the number of stages throughout the day, culminating in the main-stage performances in the evening. After major sponsor Sirius’s contract expired last year, the TD Bank has returned as a driving sponsor for the next two years. North’s also encouraged by ticket sales so far. “As soon as the ads started, boom, the phones were ringing,” he said. While the ear-

ly-bird rates deadline has passed, a variety of ticket options with reduced rates are available until Aug. 7. Gate prices begin on Aug. 8. North said he’s delighted with the world-music component, something he said was not as robust in recent years, and is bringing in “some cool new young acts” like Nelson-born James Lamb, who has toured with a variety of songwriters for the past decade. North said a schedule of performances will be posted soon. Major acts announced include Canned Heat, John Oates and Marty Stuart.

Q:What happened to the fountain at Sixth Avenue and Columbia Street? A: The fountain was removed with the widening of Columbia Street — and it won’t be back. City of Kamloops capital projects manager Darren Crundwell told KTW the monument, which recognized B.C. rocks, was “removed and disposed of.” “Permission was given to the city by the Ministry of Transportation. It was their monument,” Crundwell said. “It hadn’t been turned on for, what I could tell was, years.” Crundwell said the plaque was returned to the ministry and the monument will not be reconstructed. Information on the history of the monument was limited. KTW could not reach the ministry before deadline, but Crundwell said “it’s not getting reconstructed.”

LOCAL VIEWS

Women kept separate can’t be equal

BILL LIGERTWOOD

Rational

THOUGHTS

couple of thoughts this month. I was leafing through the May 5 edition of KTW and read the story regarding federal NDP candidate Bill Sundhu speaking at the local Muslim mosque. He spoke to an allmale audience because the women are not

allowed to sit with the men. Women were in another room listening via an audio feed. So much for the imam’s claim that women are treated the same as men according to Islam. I had to wonder why Sundhu would agree to speak about human rights to a group separated based on their gender

because of ancient religious beliefs. No matter how much Imam Mahmood tries to sugarcoat it, the reality is women are not considered equal in Islam, even in the imam’s somewhat storybook version of it. • On another topic, I read with amusement a letter that appeared a few weeks ago extolling the virtues of Prime Minister Stephen

Harper’s Bill C-51 and his campaign of fear. The letter writer actually believes ISIL is about to attack a mall or another venue in Kamloops and, therefore, we should all drink the Harper Kool Aid and happily give up our freedoms. It is utter nonsense and sad that there people in Kamloops living in fear of a terrorist attack.

Vitamin C and Lysine for Heart Health and More... W. GIFFORD-JONES, MD

Seventeen years ago following my own coronary attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness for me to refuse cholesterol-lowering drugs (CLD’s). Instead, knowing the research on vitamin C and lysine, as well as the side-effects of CLD’s, I decided to take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal.

Medi-C Plus™, with vitamin C and lysine, is available at health food stores and select natural pharmacies. The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop with breakfast and the evening meal.

I do not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. This is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors. As for me – I bet my life on vitamin C and lysine and I’m glad I did! I turned 91 this year and still write a weekly column and travel across Canada speaking on the benefits of healthy living. To join me on the road go to: www.docgiff.com

Is this really the kind of country you want to live in? Do you really care at all about how your freedoms are being eroded on a daily basis? Do you really want Canada picking fights with religious fanatics in the Middle East? Think about it. And, while you’re at it, you might want to come to terms with the billions Harper is spending blowing people up on the other side of the planet while cutting health care, education and veterans affairs budgets at home.

How I Got There!

Notwithstanding the fact our prime minister has painted a target on our backs with his war-mongering, the statistical fact is you are more likely to be killed by a moose than via a terrorist attack. Bill C-51 is a draconian measure that has been widely and roundly condemned by pretty much everyone who has any knowledge or expertise on the issue of security and freedom. This is an extremely dangerous piece of legislation, as KTW columnist Dale Bass pointed out rather well recently. We now apparently live in a country where, if you disagree with government, you are considered an undesirable or radical element. Organizations such as the David Suzuki Foundation are being

Peddling through Italy’s Puglia peninsula A hot and hungry bike ride in southern Italy CHERIE THIESSEN

TRAVEL WRITERS’ TALES

t the heel of Italy’s stylish boot, the southeastern part of the region of Puglia, is the Salento Peninsula, consisting of historic towns, olive groves, fields, broad plains, vineyards and low lying hills. My companion David and I like low lying hills because today we need to cycle 60 kilometres of them en route to the easternmost town in Italy, the Roman town of Otranto. We’ve got off to a late start — we had bikes to acquaint ourselves with and Carlo Cascione from Bici Tours to meet. He delivered our wheels, patiently explained the GPS, described our 263-kilometre, seven-day route, and started us off on our way through the twisting, skinny streets of the Baroque town of Lecce on the Salento Peninsula. On this hot late-May morning, we wobble past tables encroaching on the already narrow streets and locals who sprawl contentedly at them, sipping ice coffee with almond milk, Latte di Mandorla. No ice coffee for us just yet. We’re soon rolling on country roads fringed by red wild poppies, blue cornflowers, yellow daisies, purple thistle and the red ripening fruit on the ubiquitous prickly pear cactus. Birdsong feeds the ears

and the tantalizing licorice aroma of abundant flowering wild fennel fills every breath, while the soft air under the olive trees cools our faces. After an idyllic hour, we enter Acaia, a medieval village with its iconic castle, old walls and deserted streets. Now where’s an ice coffee when you need it? The village is somnolent, however; we’re on Italian time now. So we carry on, following a sylvan stretch of trail through a wildlife refuge with boardwalks over reeds and marshes to a lake and, beyond that, the Adriatic is winking its baby blues. So far, only three cars have passed us. Carlo told us of the many weekends and holidays he and his compatriots had spent exploring and charting the quietest routes through Salento — a job well done. We stop at San Foca on the sea. We’re hot and hungry and our kickstands drop at a impromptu café where several tables are set up under an awning and the Adriatic wafts cool kisses at us. The smiling waiter tempts us with the local delicacy, sea urchin, but he has to settle for bringing us a selection of antipasto: pizza rustico, Polpette di carne, (meatballs) and fizo di zucca in pastella, (zucchini flowers in a tempura batter). This tasty antipasto is washed down with primitivo, the regional white wine.

The Adriatic coast in Italy’s Puglia region is full of picturesque viewpoints looking out over white sand and turquoise waters.

Still ahead, carved into the Adriatic coast, the Bronze Age Ruins of a Messapian village dating from 3000 BCE bring us to an abrupt halt. These ancient IndoEuropean peoples spoke a language called Messapian, which became extinct after the Roman Republic conquered the area. We wander in a landscape of wildflowers playing hide-and-seek with prehistoric ruins, while the sea licks sugary sand nearby and the mountains of Albania waver beyond. Moments like this — just

the two of us in a quiet piece of the world — surface time and time again on this Puglian pilgrimage. We see Neolithic cave paintings, splash in both the Adriatic and Ionian seas, peer inside Byzantine crypts with traces of colour from frescoes painted on the rock walls, roll through the largest megalithic garden in Europe at Giurdignano and sample local foods in Specchia Gallone at a bakery where three generations of family grow and grind their own brand of wheat and serve it up in breads and meals.

We wander around the ramparts of more castles than you can shake a lance at and we give our bums a break at Ciolo Bridge, where we explore the huge caves along the inlet. Now in Gallipoli on Puglia’s Adriatic coast, with our circle almost completed, we stare up at the ceiling in our own little Sistine Chapel in the old town, a huge room in an 18th-century home with an enormous painting across its high expanse. The artist may not be Michelangelo, but you wouldn’t kick his work out

Before beginning the last 50 kilometres of our journey back to Lecce, we feast on an al fresco breakfast of fresh strawberries, pastries, cheeses, pizza rustico, local breads and cappuccinos while chatting with the Bici Tours representative, who has come to collect our luggage and our thoughts. “Make the tour longer,” we say, “and slow it down even more.”

Downtown is...

YOU

Welcome, Chef Hueston!

THE

LAW Downtown is Gillespie & Company LLP CAN YOU REDUCE PROBATE FEES? Yes, if you plan ahead of time. Think of probate fees as a kind of tax that must be paid when someone wants official approval to administer an estate. If you have a will, probate fees are paid when your executor asks the court to “prove” (probate) your will. This is usually necessary when your estate holds assets such as your house, bank term deposits or cars. Probate fees apply to all your property in BC and, if you’re a BC resident, your “intangible” assets (like stocks and money in bank accounts) anywhere else in the world. Once the court confirms your will is valid and grants “letters probate,” your executor can deal with the land title office and banks to distribute your estate to your beneficiaries. What are the probate fees? • Estates of $25,000 or less – No fee • Estates $50,000 or less – $6 for every $1,000 (0.6%) on the amount between $25,000 and $50,000 • Estates over $50,000 – $14 per $1,000 (1.4%) on any amount above $50,000 As a full service brand, DoubleTree by Hilton Kamloops understands how important quality food and beverage is to the guest experience for travelers, catering and community events clients alike. Hueston shares this philosophy with a passion for enduring as well as new food trends, consistency of delivery and the magic of a great dining experience. We are grateful to have him at the helm of Culinary. Joey Beltrano, General Manager

DoubleTree by Hilton Kamloops hires well known culinary entrepreneur and chef Ken Hueston. Ken grew up with a passion for local food. He began his formal education in pursuit of business, but he soon found that although his instincts were correct, they were slightly misguided. His place was not among business suits & ties, but in the steam of a kitchen. There, his commitment to local ingredients, handmade cuisine, and chef education would earn him the B.C. Chamber of Commerce’s Entrepreneur of the Year award in 2008, a spot on enRoute’s Best New Restaurant list, 2012 feature on Food Network Canada’s “You Gotta Eat Here”, and 2013 top Chef in Western Canada Chatelaine magazine. Today at the restaurant for the DoubleTree Hotel by Hilton Kamloops, after a brief absence, Ken is back as Executive Chef, bringing with him a fresh

dose of creativity and following the traditions of artisanal cooking, crafting his menu’s sandwiches, main courses, and meats by hand, without additives. Ken and his apprentices prepare everything on site, using scratch cooking techniques, including smoking food with local woods. As a mentor and educator Ken offers full apprenticeships to culinary enthusiasts who have a passion for unorthodox cooking techniques, supporting local farms & sound foragers with an emphasis on scratch style cooking. Bringing this to a town like Kamloops on a stage which includes banquet & business catering events, Ken’s excitement to move to the Okanagan was instant. Ken boasts “for me a town like Kamloops offers a bounty of local food within arms reach that used to take three days to deliver to my restaurant.”

If your estate is worth $480,000, the probate fees would be $6,170. How can you reduce this tax and preserve more of your assets for your heirs? Since probate fees only apply to assets in your estate, you may want to keep your estate assets low. One way is to make gifts while you’re still alive to people (or organizations) that you want to benefit. What you give away before you die no longer belongs to you, so isn’t part of your estate. (But for some gifts, like a gift of stocks that have gone up in value, capital gains tax might have to be paid, so you’d have to consider this.) Another way is to designate beneficiaries under your life insurance policies, RSP’s and RIF’s. That way, the life insurance proceeds, RSP and RIF assets don’t go into the estate – they go directly to the people you designate. Or you could put certain assets (like your house and bank accounts) into joint tenancy with, say, your spouse. Then your spouse would get these assets outside the estate, so again, no probate fees would have to be paid on that asset. (But beware of unintended consequences. For example, if the other joint owner is one of your children, your other children might claim the right to share on the basis that the joint owner child holds “in trust” for all your children.) There are more sophisticated methods, such as creating certain types of trusts during your lifetime that allow you to keep control of the assets you put into the trust, yet keep them out of your estate, so no probate fees are paid (as the trust “owns” the assets, not you). For these, you’d need to do a cost-benefit review and get expert guidance. Probate fees are only one piece of the puzzle which a good estate plan deals with. Talk to your lawyer – he or she can help, and keep your probate fees down as well. Written by Janice and George Mucalov, LL.B.s with contribution by GILLESPIE & COMPANY LLP.

It’s all about the experience. The Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association’s (KCBIA) Festival of Experiences is all about finding everything downtown Kamloops has to offer any day of the year. In the summer it focusses on public-space programming and encouraging downtown businesses to bring themselves outside by doing live demonstrations, hosting classes and bringing any number of interactive activities to the streets of the downtown core. “You can come down any day in Kamloops and have a great experience because, downtown, that’s the unique thing about it is there’s random stuff going on,” said KCBIA general manager Gay Pooler. “You could have a flash-mob or someone doing yoga in the park or just sitting on a patio and watching the people go by, enjoying the sun.” The KCBIA will be rewarding shoppers all summer with its festival pass. Pick one up from any of the 40 participating merchants and start stamping. You’ll receive a stamp for any purchase over $25 and once you’ve collected your stamps, you’ll be entered in a grand-prize draw and subsequent weekly draws. Participating businesses range from restaurants to clothing stores to salons. For a list of participating merchants go online to downtownkamloops.com This year Downtown Kamloops is presenting Summer Sundays, when shoppers can receive two-for-one stamps on their festival passes. Many downtown businesses will be open every Sunday and musicians will take to the streets to perform. For a list of retailers open on Sundays, go online to downtownkamloops.com While you’re downtown this summer don’t forget about the the Back Alley Art Gallery. It is exactly what it sounds like — the back alleys surrounding the downtown core are home to 17 murals and are a photographer favourite for photo shoots. During the summer, downtown becomes an entertainment venue as the KCBIA hosts myriad events. The Merchants Market, running July 22 to July 25, will turn Victoria Street into arts central, with dancers, musicians and theatrical groups performing, plus blocks and blocks of sidewalk sales. It’s one of the biggest downtown events of the year and the best shopping days of the summer. The Merchants Market features the most requested downtown event, the Taste of Downtown, on July 23. With the purchase of a $10 “passport” patrons can visit many downtown eateries for featured samples.

O Canada!

Art in the Park, Music in the Park coming to Riverside for July 1 celebration

Kathy Sinclair is always amazed at the multitude of people who celebrate Canada Day in Riverside Park. The July 1 celebration, going on 40 years, draws 40,000 people and marks the largest arts event in Kamloops. Art in the Park brings a full day of arts exhibitions and sales, demos and performances. More than 90 artist vendors are set to display their work at this year’s festivities — from pottery and fashion to jewelry and art. “It’s an amazing day for our artists,” said Sinclair, executive director of the Kamloops Arts Council. “It’s always a lot of fun.” This year the council is creating more of a festival atmosphere with unplugged performances by musicians and theatre artists throughout the park. The Kamloops Arts Council will also do a raffle and give away prizes on site. Sheila Munro of Dropping Form Design, who specializes in Victorian-inspired leatherwork and fashion, is bringing her designs to Art in the Park for the sixth year in a row. “I think it’s one of the best events for artists who live in Kamloops,” she said. “I plan on attending for many years to come.” New this year is the Oh Canada! art exhibition opening Sunday, June 28 and culminating at Art in the Park. The multi-day visual arts exhibit will focus on the themes of Canada’s history, culture and identity, “whether that’s multiculturalism or a nature scene or just something Canada means to them,” Sinclair said. July 1 is also the launch of Music in the Park. All summer long, patrons can enjoy free nightly, musical entertainment by local, national and international musicians. Henry Small has been staging Music in the Park for years and brings in groups from around the world while also spotlighting local talent. The schedule isn’t quite ready, yet, but Small is happy with the program he’s spent the past few months building. Performances will appeal to the many generations of Kamloopsians who head down to Riverside Park every night. After the day-long event on Canada Day, performances are held at the Rotary Bandshell from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. every night until Aug. 31. The city’s Canada Day festivities in Riverside Park start at 9 a.m. and also include a pancake breakfast, a Canada Day opening ceremony at 11 a.m. and the Kamloops Multicultural Society Folkfest, with ethnic food and cultural displays throughout the day and fireworks at night.

Financial planning in golden years

Symposium at Coast Hotel

Planning for your financial future helps you to understand the choices you have to maximize your standard of living. Different sources of income may be available, including public and private pensions, investments and employment. You may also be eligible for discounts and provincial and federal tax credits. Financial security, however, also requires planning for the unexpected. Protecting yourself against financial abuse is also a part of financial planning. Financial abuse or exploitation can happen to anyone and may involve pressure to gain access to your money, tricking you into changing your will or other legal documents, fraud, scams or identity theft. It may involve a family member, a friend or a stranger. Questions to think about to keep your finances safe while planning for the future: • Do you know where your income will come from, how much it will be and how long it will last as you get older? • Do you know how much money you will need to maintain your desired standard of living? • Do you have an emergency fund for unexpected expenses? • Are you aware of all the benefits for which you may be eligible? • Do you have the right kind of, and enough, insurance? • Do you know with whom you can consult regarding your financial and legal questions? • Have you considered appointing a trusted person to make financial decisions on your behalf if you become incapable of doing so? • Do you know about the many discounts for which you are eligible as a senior in British Columbia? • Do you know who to contact if you suspect someone is misusing your money or assets or their powers under a legal document that pertains to your finances?

The second annual Seniors’ Symposium will be held on Friday, June 12, at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre, 1250 Rogers Way in Aberdeen. Cost to attend the day, which is being co-sponsored by the City of Kamloops and Oncore Central Services, is $15, which includes participating in various workshops, lunch and refreshments

at breaks. The day begins at 9 a.m., when exhibitors will erect displays in Ballroom C while a keynote speaker opens the event in the theatre. Other sessions include housing, active aging, health care, chronic-care management, preventing falls and ensuring fire safety. To register, call the city at 250-828-3500 and quote program number 241182.

Arm yourself in battle with fraudsters

June 15: World Elder Abuse Awareness Day The United Nations has designated June 15 each year as World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. World Elder Abuse Awareness Day brings together senior citizens, their caregivers and governments to combat the problem of elder abuse. The day aims to focus global attention on the problem of physical, emotional, and financial abuse of elders.

It also seeks to understand the challenges and opportunities presented by an aging population and brings together senior citizens, their caregivers, national and local government, academics and the private sector to exchange ideas about how best to reduce incidents of violence toward elders, increase reporting of such abuse and develop elder-friendly policies.

B.C. Notaries share five things people can do to protect loved ones or themselves against elder fraud. 1. Share information about common scams: It can be helpful for seniors to learn about common scams that typically target their peers. These are often shared online and through the news media. Sharing this information with aging parents and friends and talking about how they would react can help seniors to protect themselves if approached by a scammer. 2. Change banking practices: Set up direct deposit of all incoming pension and other funds to minimize the opportunity for fraudsters to intervene. Tellers at your bank can help with this. Additionally, set up pre-authorized payments for regular bills so they are paid automatically, without delay or worry. 3. Create a power of attorney: Having a senior appoint a trusted person, possibly an adult child, to manage finances and legal affairs can be helpful. This person should be accountable to the older adult and involve that person in the decisionmaking process. 4. Representation agreement: In cases where the older adult may have diminished capacity and cannot make a power of attorney, they may still be capable of making a representation agreement. This type of agreement provides a designated individual with authority that can include minor and major health care, personal care and living arrangements, legal affairs and routine management of financial affairs. 5. Set up a joint bank account: A joint bank account for a senior and a trusted family member provides a second set of eyes monitoring for any suspicious transactions, such as large cash withdrawals that could occur as a result of a scam or fraud. To find a notary near you, go online to notaries.bc.ca.

Volunteers take orders over the phone and have them prepared for pick-up or delivery. Delivery on the North Shore is free with a purchase of $35 or more. If you are interested in registering, call Cooper’s Foods in the Brock Shopping Centre at 250-376-5757. Those interested in volunteering can call 778-470-6000.

Help is a call away The purpose of the Centre for Seniors Information (CSI) is to connect all seniors with services and resources that can help them with issues or concerns associated with day-to-day living. Personal assistance is provided at either of the CSI’s storefront locations — Brock Shopping Centre, 778-470-6000, and Northills Shopping Centre, 250-554-4145. The core program at the CSI is the Information and Referral Help Line and Resource Library. Seniors, and those concerned about seniors, can visit the centre or call with questions on various topics.

New Horizons for seniors

ne in seven Canadians is over the age of 65 and, in 25 years, nearly one in four Canadians will be a senior. As baby boomers retire, communities have an opportunity to benefit from a highly skilled cohort of seniors looking for ways to contribute to their communities. Seniors are significant contributors to the not-for-profit sector. The New Horizons for Seniors Program is a federal grants and contributions program that supports projects led or inspired by seniors who make a difference in the lives of others and in their communities. From encouraging seniors to volunteer to improving seniors’ facilities, from increasing seniors’ participation in their communities to increasing the awareness of elder abuse, the New Horizons for Seniors Program is intended

to help seniors. Since its creation in 2004, the program has helped seniors lead and participate in activities across the country. Examples include seniors developing urban gardens in communities throughout the province; sharing the gift of music with youth and their peers; learning archery; educating peers about elder abuse; helping to preserve their native language; telling stories from the past to school children; creating a cookbook of traditional Asian dishes; and speaking to groups of new retirees and those close to retirement about their positive experiences with volunteerism. The program supports the social participation and inclusion of seniors through various objectives. Calls for proposals are aligned with these objectives and projects need to meet one or more of those objectives. Community-based projects

may be funded up to $25,000 per year, per organization. Pan-Canadian projects that help to reduce social isolation among seniors may be funded between $150,000 and $750,000, for up to a maximum of three years. Eligible recipients include: not-for-profit organizations; community-based coalitions, networks and committees; for-profit organizations, provided the nature and intent of the activity are non-commercial, do not generate profit and fit within the program objectives; municipal governments, band/ tribal councils and other aboriginal organizations; public health and social services institutions; and research and educational institutions, including school boards, school districts, universities, colleges and CEGEPs. For more information, go online to http://www.esdc.gc.ca/eng/ seniors/funding/community/ index.shtml.

Kamloops and region need to gear up for a decline in population growth, as well as a future in which the area has one adult over 65 for every two adults in the workforce. A report from B.C. Business Council released last month found the province’s population increase is slowing from robust growth of the 1980s and 1990s. The report details a slowing in population growth that reached 2.6 per cent a year in the early 1990s to less than one per cent today. By 2027, the natural growth in population is forecast to fall to zero, with growth coming only from immigration from other provinces and countries. A long trend of declining rural population is expected to continue, with growth focused in the four metro areas of Greater Vancouver, Greater Victoria, Central Okanagan and Fraser Valley. Author Ken Peacock said Kamloops shares some urban aspects with those core areas and can expect to attract northerners looking for warmer climes, as well as Greater Vancouver residents seeking lower housing prices and an end to gridlock commutes. The scenario in Kamloops for an aging population falls between the extremes seen in some parts of the province. The report finds by 2030, there will be 53 people aged 65-plus for every 100 in the working-age population of 25-64 in the Thompson-Nicola region. That compares to a low of 30 in Peace River to a high of 81 in the Sunshine Coast — approaching nearly a 1:1 ratio. “Kamloops is not too far off the provincial average,” he said. “I think the same challenges the province faces also apply to the region. By 2030, it’s [Thompson-Nicola] a little older than the provincial average.” Peacock also noted what is expected to a be a continuing decline in Kamloops in the number of people aged one to 24, bottoming out in five years. That will have continuing negative enrolment impact on schools and at Thompson Rivers University. “Your region is a little better off, if aging demographics creates challenges, than a lot of other places,” Peacock said. The current growth in the number of workingage adults is .3 per cent a year — half the provincial average. With one person 65-plus living in Kamloops for every two in the working population, Peacock said urban planners and builders will have to look at a future with more compact housing close to shopping and amenities because seniors will demand it. Venture Kamloops executive director Jim Anderson said the low population growth scenario outlined in the report “is something we’ve been preparing for.” The city’s economic-development arm is in the midst of a labour market plan looking out to 2025. “We’re trying to determine what this aging demographic will do to the labour force,” Anderson said.

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
