It wasn’t exactly smooth sliding at this weekend’s Slide the City event, but Tim McLeod still believes the giant slip and slide could return to Kamloops. The event, which promised ticketholders access to a 1,000-foot slide down Hillside Drive, was plagued by several hours of delays, leaving hundreds of people waiting in line as staff and volunteers worked well past the planned start time to get the slide ready to go. McLeod, the development manager for Tranquille Farm Fresh, which helped bring the event to the city, said some of the issues

arose because it was the first time the slide had been set up in B.C. “You have to have the B.C. Safety Authority see it in operation and actually approve it. Once they’ve seen it and approved it, you’re good to go,” he said. But, when the inspection took place, Slide the City staff were told to shorten the slide to slow the speeds sliders could reach. McLeod said he did not know how much shorter the final slide was. The event also struggled with power problems in the morning, causing pump and water issues. “That led to an hour-and-a-half to twohour delay in start-up and then it just snowballed because people came early,” McLeod said. “So, people come an hour early and

then you’ve got a two-hour delay and now you’re in a three-hour line up.” Safety issues also got in the way of plans for a kids’ zone during the event. McLeod said the operator of three bouncy castles, which was to make up the majority of the kid-friendly space, didn’t receive a required safety document and wasn’t able to set up. By the afternoon, he said, sliders seemed to be moving at a better clip, with lineups of as little as 30 minutes to reach the top of the slide and fewer complaints. While Twitter and KTW’s Facebook page recorded numerous people with complaints, there were some kudos included. “I’ve heard equally from people who said what a great time they had,” he said. See UTAH-BASED, A12

Interior ranchers and farmers have an eye on the sky looking for rain as continued drought conditions threaten to bring tougher conservation measures. “It’s the lowest I’ve seen in the 15 years I’ve been farming here,” farmer and Thompson-Nicola Regional District director Steve Rice said of the Nicola River near Spences Bridge. Rice said he can walk across the river noting the flow barely covers the intake for his farm irrigation. “It’s scary,” he said. The Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD) has declared a Level 4 drought, the highest, in parts of the Nicola Valley and in the Spences Bridge and Fraser Canyon areas. Closer to home, at Chase Creek, agricultural users are on an odd-even day system, similar to that used in municipalities, including Kamloops. “We’re saving up to 50 per cent of the water,” said Peter Murray, who operates a corn farm west of Chase and is a trustee on the Chase Irrigation District. “We’re not short yet.” Most of B.C. is amid Level 3 or 4 drought conditions, with river levels and temperatures typically seen in late August. While ranchers are largely coping so far, Kevin Boon, general manager of B.C. Cattlemen’s Association, said the drought will likely curb any growth in the provincial herd. While cattle prices are again reaching new highs, lack of range and feed make expansion difficult. Rangeland grasses are stressed from lack of moisture and, particularly, sustained high temperatures. The likelihood is ranchers will have to supplement their livestock with outside feed when Crown grazing ends prematurely. See HAY, A7

Heading south on the Overlanders Bridge? You’ll have a new detour beginning next week. Beginning the week of July 27 and continuing through the next three weeks, the city’s contractor, Innovative Civil Constructors, will shut down the off-ramp leading to Mission Flats Road and the Summit Connector as part of the $10-million rehabilitation of the bridge. Public works director Jen Fretz said drivers who would normally use the off-ramp can take a detour via Seymour Street and First Avenue, either heading up to Sahali or down to circle back under the bridge via West Victoria Street. Heavy trucks are encouraged to avoid the bridge. To keep traffic flowing smoothly to Sahali, the city also plans to close Columbia Street’s westbound curb lane between First and Second avenues to make a dedicated turn lane at the First and

The Independent Investigations Office (IIO) has forwarded its report into an allegation Kamloops Mounties used unnecessary force during an incident in September 2014. The office investigates incidents of violence in which police are involved. The IIO said a man was injured on Sept. 10, 2014, when police were trying to arrest him. Mounties said they were attempting to arrest the suspect on an outstanding warrant when he fled the area near Yew Street in North Kamloops, jumping over a fence. He was arrested and taken to hospital, suffering a serious injury to his spine. The IIO said it has completed its investigation and sent the report to Crown counsel to determine if charges will be laid. The IIO does not make any recommendation on charges.

TNRD UNAFFECTED BY RECYCLING STRIKE trucks are,” Vieira said. These days, that means taking recycling to Cascades Recovery in Kelowna, which the district is able to do because it isn’t locked into a contract with Emterra. While the TNRD used to contract with Emterrra, it’s been on a month-to-month deal with the Kamloops processor for some time, giving it the freedom to switch processors during the labour unrest. The city, by comparison, is locked into a deal with Emterra until the end of the year. Vieria said the decision not to renew isn’t related to the strike, but because the district is hoping to get off the wait list for the Multi-Material B.C. (MMBC) program this year. The program, funded by companies that produce paper and packaging products, pays for recycling services in communities. MMBC has contracts of its own

While recyclables pile up in homes in the City of Kamloops, rural residents in the Thompson-Nicola Regional District are still able to unload their material. Though the TNRD also uses Emterra Environmental — where 10 unionized workers have been on strike for four weeks — to process its recyclables, the district isn’t bound to the Kelly Douglas Road plant the way the city is, said regional district environmental services manager Jamie Vieira. For one, the TNRD is already set up to move its recycling father than the city. Recyclables dropped off by TNRD residents go into trailers, which can be hauled over longer distances, Vieira said. “We’re not restricted to within a 20- or 30-kilometre radius like the

with various recycling processors around the province, which would deal with the regional district’s recycling once it’s part of the program. “We don’t want to sign an agreement with Emterra and then, suddenly, we’re off the wait list and we’re locked into an agreement with Emterra,” he said. “It was just the way the timing worked out.” While rural residents aren’t seeing any disruption because of the strike, it’s not entirely business as usual behind the scenes. Vieria said the cost of the district’s recycling program is going up because of the extra distance it’s hauling recycled materials. If the strike continues, it’s likely his department will have to ask the TNRD board of directors for a budget increase. Unlike the city, recycling services are funded through taxation rather than through separate utility fees.

Kamloops Mounties make arrests in mail thefts Police are crediting an eagle-eyed Kamloops resident with helping to catch crooks breaking into mailboxes in Batchelor Heights. RCMP Const. Jason Epp said Mounties were called after someone saw boxes being burgled on Batchelor Drive and Grasslands Boulevard on Saturday. Epp said police were given an excellent description of the suspects and vehicle, including a licence-plate number from the witness.

“Due to the amount of detail provided by the witness, police were able to locate and identify the suspects a short distance away from the original crime scene,” Epp said. Charges have been laid against two people — a 28-year-old man and a 20-yearold woman. They are facing counts of possession of stolen property, possession of break-in instruments and theft of mail. Their names have not been released.

Stores selling fewer pesticides ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Pesticides will still be available on city shelves when a ban on spraying residential lawns goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2016 — but a pair of local businesses say they already aren’t selling much of the verboten product. Kamloops city council voted last week to ban cosmetic-pesticide use on residential lawns, flowers and ornamental trees and shrubs.

Shawn Ulmer, nursery manager for Art Knapp — located on Tk’emlups Indian band land and not within the City of Kamloops — said many of her customers live in outlying areas where there is no ban — and Kamloops customers can still use pesticides on fruit trees, gardens and hard surfaces. But, Ulmer added, the store also sells a variety of alternatives, from iron-based weedkilling products to ladybugs and other lawn-improving

insects, all growing in popularity. “The trend has been towards organics or green products and I would say the bulk of our products are things you can use in the City of Kamloops,” she said. While the ban in Kamloops is new, Ulmer said the move away from pesticides isn’t. “That change has been going on probably for at least 10 years now,” she said. “As more cities go into the pesticide bans, the industry

has been changing. It’s just slower to find things that work.” Giulio Moroni, a manager at Wal-Mart, couldn’t say what the store’s plans will be after the ban takes effect. He noted that, while the store still stocks some pesticides, its selection is much reduced from even a year ago. Kamloops’ Home Depot referred inquiries about its pesticide plans to its corporate office, which did not respond to a request for comment.

Regional district shines light on weed control ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The City of Kamloops might be finished with pesticides, but the ThompsonNicola Regional District (TNRD) may end up picking up the slack. At its July meeting, the TNRD discussed plans to ask the Southern Interior Weed Management Committee (SIWMC) to devote more focus toward weed control on primary and secondary highways throughout the Thompson-Nicola. The district partners with SIWMC for invasive plant management in the region. The TNRD will also seek meetings with the ministry of transportation and the ministry of forests, lands and natural resource operations to discuss the issue. “There is an awful lot of weeds on our highways and secondary roads that are playing havoc with large properties in the residential areas,” said director Ronaye Elliott of Area J (Copper Desert Country), who brought the issue to the board’s attention. In a follow-up interview with KTW, Elliott discussed the problems

noxious plants like knapweed are causing for rural landowners. The weeds are picked up by vehicles and carried onto private properties, where they proliferate at uncontrollable rates, impacting grazing land and hay crops. “It’s not just Cherry Creek and Savona,” she said. “It’s the whole corridor.” Elliott’s concerns were echoed by director Ken Gillis, chair of the district’s invasive-plant committee, who said noxious plants are a problem throughout the region. The district hopes to meet with ministry officials at the upcoming meeting of the Union of B.C. Municipalities, which will take place in Vancouver from Sept. 21 to Sept. 25. Elliott said she hopes a weed-control plan for 2015 has already been established. If the issue is that weed-management authorities aren’t getting enough funding, she hopes pressure from the TNRD will help. “The issue is growing more and more,” she said. “They need to get at it.”

Ajax review could be costly BILL FOR CITY PERUSAL OF INFO MAY HIT $400,000 ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Reviewing KGHM Ajax’s environmental application for its proposed copper and gold mine could cost the city as much as $400,000. Public works director Jen Fretz said staff are working on a report to city council advising it on how to review the tens of thousands of pages of studies and information mine proponents expect to submit to the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office at the end of the summer. Fretz said the city is looking at a “significant” cost for the review, which could be between $200,000 and $400,000. One of the issues is finding experts to review the work who will be seen as impartial. “We’re trying to find a company who can do a fulsome

review without having any ties to the proponent whatsoever,” Fretz said. But, with so many different experts having weighed in on the project, Fretz said finding the right company for the job is “going to be a task.” There’s also the issue of timing. Once the application is accepted by the province (which could, at the end of a 30-day review, send it back to the company to improve on) there is a 180-day review period before the office makes a recommendation on the mine to the provincial cabinet. Of that, 75 days are open to public comment. Last term, Kamloops city council passed a motion to hold a public open house on the project. Fretz said her staff are trying to figure out when that should take

place within a tight time frame, during which the city will also be analyzing KGHM Ajax’s reports. “ We’re going to try and work something in and give council some recommendations on how the open house and the review report work together,” she said. “The intent of the open house motion is a very good one and we’re going to try to make sure that gets carried forward.” Council previously set $50,000 aside for consultant work on the Ajax file, $30,000 of which has already been spent. Fretz said most of the money went to reviewing the application information requirements for the mine — a document setting out what studies the proponent must conduct for the province. Fretz said the city mostly hired consultants to deal with groundwater and hydrogeological issues, expertise it doesn’t have in-house.

to consider the following proposed amendments to KAMPLAN: The Official Community Plan (Bylaw No. 5-1-2146) (OCP) and City of Kamloops Zoning Bylaw No. 5-1-2001: 1.

STORM SPARKS 14 SMALL FIRES An intense lightning storm on Sunday night in parts of the southern Interior brought little in the way of rain relief. Fire information officer Kelsey Winter said the Kamloops Fire Centre recorded about 1,200 lightning strikes overnight Sunday. Only areas near Clearwater, Salmon Arm and Penticton received substantial precipitation. Kamloops Airport received 2.4 millimetres of rain, while other parts of the city remained dry. Much of the local region is rated at “extreme” or “high” for danger of forest fire. “We did have quite a bit of dry lightning in the Kamloops zone [around the city],” Winter said. That resulted in 14 reports of lightning strikes starting small blazes, including two overnight

in the North Thompson. Kamloops Fire Centre is usually at the forefront of the summer action, but this year is one of the province’s slowest. There are two fires of note in the region. About 3,600 hectares have burned so far in the Kamloops Fire Centre, which stretches south to the Canada/U.S. border. That compares to upwards of 225,000 hectares in the Prince George region, which stretches north to the B.C. Yukon border. Provincially, more than twice the average number of hectares burned annually has already been recorded, while the province has already spent more than double its $62-million firefighting budget.

Hay prices double due to dry conditions From A1

“They’d be dipping into their winter feed,” Boon said. Prices for hay, meanwhile, have doubled due to dry conditions in Alberta. There is also the spectre some ranches may have their water licences restricted if hot, dry weather continues. “If we can’t afford hay and feed, we’ll have no other option but to sell . . . This is at the same time we’re trying to grow our herd,” Boon said.

Despite low water conditions, the TNRD hasn’t yet placed special restrictions on residential systems it oversees. Murray said he has seen Chase Creek this low only a few times. It has benefitted from occasional showers, which has raised levels. Fisheries officials have raised alarms about low flows and high temperatures in the Fraser River and its tributaries. The Nicola River is home to chinook and critically endangered coho and steelhead.

Rice’s farm and its water licence is one of the last on the Nicola before the stream empties into the Thompson River at Spences Bridge. With critically low water levels and the impending salmon run, he said some are wondering about the possibility of suspension of water licences by federal fisheries. “I’m under my water licence,” Rice said of his farm use. “It [restrictions] does worry me a bit. “You can’t farm without water.”

SLIDE IN WITH IMPROVEMENTS

hile some who took part in the weekend’s Slide the City event on Hillside Drive came away with memories of fun in the sun with a dash of splash, there were many who were less than impressed. From the grandmother who penned the letter to the editor on the opposite page to myriad Facebook and Twitter comments, it is abundantly clear the Kamloops event on Saturday was the most troublesome of three held in Canada that day. Identical events in Edmonton and Toronto appear to have received much more positive reviews. From an hour-plus delay in starting, to a shorter slide than advertised, to a promoted kids’ zone that failed to materialize, to moving the slide to a grade that required multiple starts, Slide the City’s initial foray into Kamloops came with plenty of hiccups. But, as noted by Tim McLeod of Tranquille Farm Fresh — the man who did the leg work to bring the event to the city — problems plaguing the scene were out of organizers’ control. B.C. Safety Authority staff ordered the slide to be shortened to lessen the speed sliders reached at the bottom — an apparent nanny-state directive considering the envious grades sliders in Edmonton enjoyed. Thanks to the B.C. Safety Authority, the slide on Hillside Drive was turned into a crawl — literally. There were also power issues that affected pump operations and water supply. We hope Slide the City returns next year, preferably with reduced prices for Kamloops residents as a nod to this year’s problems. If it does return, a few words of wisdom: Partner with the City of Kamloops in finding a decent hill that is not a road. The area by the city’s longboard park might be ideal. Set up a day in advance to accommodate any last-minute changes. Minimize wait times between sliders. If Atlantis Waterslides in Vernon can rotate colliding tubers down a cascading run, so can Slide the City.

On Nov. 7, will Kamloops voters learn from history?

n Nov. 7, residents will have an opportunity to vote on whether the city should borrow funds to construct a much-needed parkade and theatre complex in downtown Kamloops. Many people are questioning why the need for the theater portion of the project and I thought I would use this column to try to clarify a few commonly asked questions. Probably the No. 1 thing we’ve heard from people is there’s no need for a new theatre as Sagebrush Theatre does not fill its seats for every performance. Although this is true, the Sagebrush stage is fully booked with rehearsals and performances up to two years in advance. The construction of the new performing-arts centre is really the equivalent of constructing more playing fields to enable a lot better access for people to play. The new complex, with a mainstage, a black-box theatre and three rehearsal halls, is about providing the arts community the ability to take itself to the next level in Kamloops over the coming 20 to 30 years — just as the Tournament Capital project allowed sports groups to take themselves to the next level as we expanded and improved facilities We don’t only allow sports facilities to be used if the seating available is fully booked; otherwise, minor hockey would never use Interior Savings Centre, which has 5,000 seats, but only 30 or 40 parents watching minor hockey games.

PETER MILOBAR

View From

CITY HALL The addition of Beattie School of the Arts adjacent to South Kamloops secondary will also add pressure to the usage demands of Sagebrush as students and teachers try to get more programming in the theatre. Another concern we have heard is that the one per cent tax increase proposed for 2016 and 2017 does not include ongoing operating costs when, in fact, it does include an operating cost to the facility. The taxation proposed represents a worst-case scenario of taxation for residents. With the arrival of the new Cascades Casino and an expanded Chances Gaming Centre, we may find more gaming revenues as a result. Council could then look at using those funds to offset taxation or do other community projects with that money. We are showing a plan that has taxation to make sure we are only talking about funds and dollars about which we have certainty. The big game-changer for this

project was the federal government changing eligibility rules that allow gas tax to be used for this type of building. Gas-tax funds are still quite restricted so, although people have suggested many other types of projects instead, those projects would not be eligible for gas-tax revenue. The reality is every major project in Kamloops has had people say, “Just not now.” Can you imagine Kamloops without the Sagebrush Theatre, without ISC, without the Tournament Capital Centre, without our water-treatment centre? The performing-arts centre project is not only about today, but about the next 30 years in Kamloops. There are two certainties with this project: We need a parkade downtown and this will see a 350stall facility built. We need now and into the future more theatre space. With the theatre, the real question is: Do we learn from past delays in building the ISC, where the project eventually got built, but for much more money? Or, do we build now? I guess we will find out on Nov. 7 if we have learned from history or are destined to repeat it. Peter Milobar is mayor of Kamloops.

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

KAMLOOPS SLIDE THE CITY A MASSIVE WASHOUT Editor: After much hype and false advertising, Slide the City came to Kamloops on Saturday. Upon arrival at 8:30 a.m., the first disappointment was evident. The slide did not go from Aberdeen Mall to Notre Dame Drive, but stopped before Cariboo Place. Portions of disassembled slide that were to be used were piled in a heap at the bottom of the hill. Added to this disappointment was that it was getting close to 9 a.m. and the slide was nowhere near being in place or operational. My grandsons were excited to have day passes, which promised them a bonus hour of sliding starting at 9 a.m. At 10:15 a.m., the workmen were still in the

process of setting up the slide. There was no communication from the company to the sliders regarding the reason for the delay, nor any compensation made for the hour day-pass holders missed. After waiting over 90 minutes for the slide to be operational, my grandsons’ excitement had waned. When sliders finally got on the slide at about 10:35 a.m., there were no shouts of glee, as advertised in the company’s video, but frowns of dismay as the sliders struggled to slide due to lack of water and lack of grade at the beginning of the slide. Attention to detail was non-existent. No one took responsibility to check coloured arm bands and times sliders were to be participating.

What was the advantage for purchasing a day pass or any ticket? There were no organizers controlling the line from bottom to top. People crashed the line at will, while honest people waited their turn. Where were the face painting and bouncy castles that were promised? Where were the misters that were to be set up to keep sliders cool? Thank goodness it was not a hot day. Organizer Tim McLeod of Tranquille Farm Fresh wanted this event to raise the profile of his business. I fear the benefit he expected will not be realized from this disorganized, falsely advertised fiasco. Shirley Smith Kamloops

THE PESTICIDE-BAN DEBATE RAGES ON . . .

ON THESE PAGES AND ONLINE AT KAMLOOPSTHISWEEK.COM Editor: City council has banned the use of pesticides on our lawns and gardens due to health risks, while a foreign, money-hungry corporation plots to built a huge, polluting, environmentally devastating, open-pit mine right in our backyard. If city council is so concerned about health risks, why isn’t it presenting a united front against KGHM Ajax and fighting like hell to protect us (and future generations) from this health hazard? Sandi Mikuse Kamloops Editor: The Kamloops dictators have voted to ban cosmetic pesticides. I don’t recall Kamloops citizens

having an opportunity to vote. I was a licensed applicator and have used herbicides for decades, with no problem to people or pets. In the uneducated mind of council, applying herbicides to parks, where children play, is safe, but not in our yards. I think council has it backwards. I thought it was up to the citizens to decide what we want, not told what to do. Cal Huntington Kamloops

All of the arguments I have witnessed in opposition to the bylaw are focused almost entirely on dollars and cents and a ridiculous societal belief that a perfect lawn equals a higher and more refined status. What Kamloops residents are failing to see is the big picture. Not only are pesticides harmful to human health, but they destroy and pulverize the delicate ecosystem within the soil under our feet. Kayla Sorley Kamloops

Editor: I am disappointed and disturbed by the negative backlash coming from Kamloops residents in response to the new pesticide-ban bylaw.

Editor: It is time to let councillors Arjun Singh, Donovan Cavers, Denis Walsh, Dieter Dudy and, most of all, Tina Lange know there is an election in 2018.

At that time, these councillors will hear from me. Richard Bell Kamloops Editor: Lawn-care companies and councillors who voted against the cosmetic-pesticide ban seem to have a poor opinion of Kamloops homeowners. Several of them were convinced that, with a ban in place, pesticide use would increase. I may be optimistic, but I believe at least 95 per cent of Kamloops citizens are considerate, intelligent people who will comply with the bylaw, thereby reducing harm to all living organisms. Anne Grube Kamloops

Police seek hit-and-run driver MAN STRUCK IN SUN PEAKS, IN SERIOUS CONDITION Kamloops Mounties believe the person driving a pickup truck that struck and seriously injured a man in Sun Peaks on the weekend has told someone about the incident. As a result, police are urging anybody with information on the hit and run to contact them. RCMP Const. Jason Epp said police were called to the mountain resort at about 3 a.m. on Sunday after a 30-year-old man was left with serious head and lower-body injuries when struck.

Epp said the victim was walking with two other men when he was hit by a dark-coloured older-model Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck. The victim was taken to Royal Inland Hospital, where he remains in serious but stable condition. Tk’emlups Rural RCMP continue to investigate. “As they further this investigation, they are asking that the driver contact the local detachment and make this tragic event

right,” Tk’emlups Rural RCMP Staff Sgt. Doug Aird said. “It is strongly felt this individual has reached out to someone and police are asking that any information be passed onto police or Crime Stoppers.” Aird added that the truck involved may have sustained damage to the front grill and fender. Anyone with information is asked to call Tk’emlups Rural RCMP at 250-314-1800 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Fill in the blank cells using numbers 1 to 9. Each number can appear only once in each row, column, and 3x3 block.

A man is in hospital with serious injuries after being stabbed in the neck during an altercation in downtown Kamloops on the weekend. Emergency crews were called to the intersection of St. Paul Street and Seventh Avenue at about 5 a.m. on Sunday for a report of a stabbing. Police found a man with injuries to his neck and he was taken to Royal Inland Hospital. Investigators believe the man called 911 after being stabbed during a fight. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Canada Post promises to find jobs for workers DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Canada Post plans to honour its commitment to not lay off any of its workers as it shifts from home delivery to community mailboxes, a spokesperson said. Anick Losier said the Crown corporation is confident attrition will work in most communities, noting if it doesn’t, work will be transferred in for those who remain. In Chicoutimi, Que., for example, attrition did not produce the reduction required, so Canada Post transferred other postal work in for those who remained to do. In that case, it involved adding a video-encoding system — a process that involves noting postal codes and work the automated equipment doesn’t readily handle, she said. That potential work adjustment exists for Kamloops should the

workforce not drop to the necessary level when the transition from door-to-door delivery to large mailboxes happens some time next year, she said. Forty staff are expected to be affected. Additional temporary and contract staff will also lose their jobs but

will not have the job protection the unionized staff have. Kamloopsians in the areas affected — postal codes V1S, V2B, V2C, V2E and V2H that encompass about 25,553 addresses — will receive an information package in coming days, including a

mail-in survey. Losier said she hopes people respond because the questionnaire has been helpful in other communities already converted over in identifying ideal locations for the community mailboxes. She estimated up to 40 per cent of the mail-

box locations in some communities were changed because of feedback received. Safety remains a concern, Losier said, and the corporation continues to research

safety features for community mailboxes and works closely with police. “But, the thing is, your mailbox on your house isn’t safe either,” she said. “Anyone can go up and take something out of it.” Losier reiterated the need to stop home delivery, saying in 2006, more than five-billion pieces of mail were delivered while last year, the amount had decreased to 3.8 billion. The first quarter of 2015 saw an eight per cent decline in mail being delivered over the same period last year, she added. “If you think about it, even a five per cent decrease every year could see a significant decline” in mail being delivered, Losier said. As for the lawsuit launched by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, along

with some smaller organizations representing the disabled and elderly, Losier said some documents have been exchanged but there are no hearings set in the near future. She repeated the corporation’s earlier statement it will fight the lawsuit all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada, if it has to.

is mother sung the anthem and his team took it from there. Captain Blaine Boomer and the Kamloops Venom followed Carolynn’s rendition of O Canada with a dominant 17-10 victory over the Vernon Tigers inside muggy Memorial Arena on Sunday to take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League (TOJLL) final. “We just kept pounding away,” said Boomer, who opened the scoring and finished with three goals and two assists. “They’re a fiery team. They showed a lot of intensity and heart, but I think we’re just breaking them down mentally and physically. We’re killing them. It’s great.” The Snakes can dispatch the Tigers and claim the TOJLL banner with a win tonight at Kal Tire Place — a fortress for the Tigers in recent seasons. Game time is 7:30 p.m. “The first game was in their arena and look what happened,” Venom head coach Justin Bosher told reporters after Game 2. “Our guys will be ready. A light practice tomorrow and we’ll be ready to kick some butt on Tuesday.” Visiting Kamloops downed Vernon 16-12

in Game 1 on Friday. Vernon rolled into the playoffs as regularseason champions, having posted a perfect 16-0 record. The Tigers swept the Armstrong Shamrocks in Round 1 of the post-season. Kamloops, boasting players who returned from higher levels of lacrosse in time for the playoffs, squeaked past the South Okanagan Flames of Penticton in their first-round series, which was decided in five games. Jerome Thorne (5G, 4A), Kyle Pauwels (2G, 6A) and Riley Peterson (2G, 5A) paced the Venom on Sunday, with Mitch Horsman providing solid goaltending between the pipes. In the third period, Vernon showed why it was impeccable throughout the regular season, refusing to roll over despite a six-goal deficit. Three quick Tigers’ goals brought the scoreline to 10-7 in the Venom’s favour and forced Bosher to call a timeout. “I can’t say those words, but I just said that we’ve got to pull our heads from our bums,” Bosher said of his pep talk. “They stepped up and they did that.” Tylor Seabrooke cut to the front of the net seconds after the timeout and scored to restore Kamloops’ fourgoal lead and curb the visitors’ momentum. The Tigers continued to fight, but the Venom answered each of their surges with

pushback of their own. Aaron Jensen started in net for Vernon and allowed seven goals before being replaced by Jeremy Gray midway through the second frame. Much of the Tigers’ response to the Venom’s onslaught was spurred by standout captain

Darrell Landels, who scored twice in the third period to bring his total to four goals. The beer garden was in full voice midway through the final frame and Thorne acknowledged the crowd of about 300 after scoring one of his highlightreel goals, leaving Gray

indisposed with a series of jukes before burying a shot into the top corner. “We came out with fire and intensity and played tough,” Boomer said. “It was a great effort tonight for all the boys. “It was awesome to see a good crowd here

at Memorial. It’s been a while since we had a big crowd like that.” Should Kamloops win tonight, it will become the first team to sweep a TOJLL final since 2008, when the Kamloops Rattlers blanked the Kelowna Warriors. If the Venom are not

able to close out the series, Game 4 will be played in the Snake Pit at Memorial on Thursday, with game time set for 7:30 p.m. Vernon head coach Chris Scabar was approached for comment after Sunday’s game, but declined the interview.

Champness finding groove Nathan Champness of Kamloops had to wait until midsummer to reap off-season rewards, but the hard work is beginning to pay off. The Kamloops athlete placed second overall at the Great White North Triathlon in Stony Plain, Alta., on July 5, performing well throughout the 1.9-kilometre, 90-km bike and 21.1-km run to break the four-hour mark (3:56:53) and place second behind Jeff Symonds (3:53:52). One week later, he won the Heart of the Rockies Triathlon in Invermere (1.5k/40k/10k). “It took until the last week or so to fully figure out where I stand relative to last year,” Champness said. “There are certain elements I’m not satisfied with, but I like what’s happening with the swim and run right now,” Champness said. Champness turned professional in

2015 and is giving himself three years to see if he has what it takes to become a full-time triathlete, earning money through sponsorship and prize purses at events across North America. In 2014, Champness took B.C. by storm, winning amateur titles at the provincial duathlon championship and provincial short-course and long-course triathlon events, to go along with victory at the national long-course championship. “Last year, I was a bike-dominant athlete, but you always want to search for that improved game overall, to try to master your craft completely,” he said.

Kamloops Sun Devils’ catcher John Young was in position, but the baseball did not arrive in time to tag out the Seattle Studs baserunner on this play at Norbrock Stadium on Sunday. Seattle and Kamloops split the two-game set, with the Studs winning the early game 3-2 and the Sun Devils shining in the rematch, earning a 6-0 victory. Kamloops is hosting a doubleheader against the Kelowna Jays at Norbrock on Saturday, with game times set for 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. The Jays will host a pair of rematches in Kelowna on Sunday. The Sun Devils are hosting the provincial senior men’s baseball championship from July 31 to Aug. 2 at Norbrock. Kamloops won the B.C. title in 2014. In other action on Sunday, the junior Sun Devils were blanked 8-0 by hometown Burnaby in the final of the junior provincials.

KAMLOOPS SOCCER GIRLS CLAIM PROVINCIAL BRONZE Avery Gilbert found Paetyn Freeze with a cross in extratime and her header sealed a bronze medal for the under-15 Kamloops Blaze soccer team at the provincial A cup in Surrey. The Kamloops girls jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the bronzemedal matchup before Saanich roared back to tie the game 2-2.

The Blaze opened round-robin play with a 2-0 victory over Saanich before dropping 1-0 decisions to West Vancouver and Vancouver FC. Solid goaltending and a great team effort were key to victory in the bronze-medal game.

Team Canada lost its first game at the International Basketball Federation Under-19 Women’s World Championship in Chekov, Russia. After downing Mali on Saturday, Canada — which features two members of the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack, guard Emma Piggin and coach Scott Reeves — fell to France on Sunday, losing 58-54. “I’m very proud

of how the girls battled,” Canada’s head coach Rich Chambers said. “We got down 11 going into the fourth and fought back twice to get it down to three and four. We still have a chance to win our pool if we beat Belgium on Tuesday.” Piggin, a Kamloops product, notched three points and grabbed four rebounds in 16 minutes of action. She also had three turnovers.

Nick Wasyk

LYDIA WELMS It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Lydia Welms (nee Ullrich), at age 95, in Kamloops, BC, on July 10, 2015. She will be lovingly remembered by her children Willie Welms (Linda), Paul Welms (Carolyn), Renate Pollock (Tom) and Pat Welms (Tina). Also left to mourn her loss are her grandchildren Terry, Lori (Rob), Brent (Tara), Dariel, Candice (Dean), Randy (Alex), Sara and Emma. Lydia will also always be in the hearts of her great-grandchildren Garrett, Krysten, Samantha, Madyson, Asia, JC, Helena, Braydon, Cody, Jarod, and Taylor. Lydia was predeceased by her husband Henry, and her daughter, Elsa. Lydia was born in Siberia, Russia on September 28, 1919. She married the love of her life Henry Welms on April 29, 1942. Lydia and Henry remained married until his passing on April 22, 1974.

A Celebration of Life will take place on July 26, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. in the dining room at the Renaissance Retirement Home, 628 Tranquille Road. There will be an open microphone for those wishing to share their stories and memories.

In 1951, Lydia and Henry left Germany and arrived in Canada with their children, Elsa, Willie, and Paul. Her next child, Renate was born in Grande Prairie, AB and her fifth child, Pat was born in Kamloops, BC. Lydia worked at the Tranquille Hospital in the laundry department from 1967 until retirement in 1984. Family was the most important thing to Lydia and she was never happier than when she was surrounded by people she loved. She had a calm, gentle touch that could put any crying baby to sleep almost immediately. She enjoyed doing puzzles, coloring posters, doing word searches and watching TV. She preferred to listen to others talk rather than talk about herself. She will always be remembered for her amazing cabbage rolls, borscht and potato salad. Her smile could light up a room. The family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to all the amazing staff at Hospice for their care of Lydia in her final weeks. No public memorial service will be held, however the family will be having a Graveside Service and a private Celebration of Life at a later date. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home at 72 Whiteshield Crescent South, Kamloops BC V2E 2S9 would be appreciated.

Judy was born in New Westminster, BC on June 7th, 1941 and spent all of her childhood years there before relocating to Kamloops with her family. She loved to reminisce about her life growing up in New Westminster and Crescent Beach.

SEONAID “SEON” SYDNEY BONDERUD July 19, 1937 – July 12, 2015 It is with great sadness that we announce the quiet passing on July 12, 2015 in Kamloops of our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend, Seonaid Sydney Bonderud. She will be deeply missed by her husband Carl and sons Chris (Joanne), Kerry (Elaine), and daughter Kim (Paul) Tassie along with grandchildren Kirsten, Erica, Alana, Tyler, Laura, Emma, and Graham. Also mourning her passing is her younger sister Wendy Madsen and her children Jennifer (Jay) Cacaci and Cameron Madsen along with extended family in Kamloops and elsewhere in western Canada. Seon was predeceased by her dear parents, Jen, in 1993 and Niels, in 2001. Seon was born in North Vancouver on July 19, 1937 to Niels and Jen Krag (nee Bain). She graduated from North Van High School in 1955 and shortly after met and married Carl in 1958. They soon moved to Kamloops where they joined Niels and Jen (Niels had just been transferred with the RCMP) and started their family and Carl’s career as a heavy duty mechanic. Seon was the consummate host with a passion to ensure all guests were welcome, fed, and entertained. She loved fine clothes, travelling annually to Hawaii or other warm locations and spending many summers at the family cabin on Shuswap Lake. Her home and cabin was the source of great joy to her and her family, extended family, and many friends. Sadly, Seon was stricken with dementia in recent years and gradually lost her abilities but never her kind spirit. Carl and the family unfailingly supported her at home until very recently when her health declined rapidly. She was briefly hospitalized and then compassionately placed into palliative care at Ridgeview Lodge. We’ve lost a great person with compassion for life. Her legacy endures with her children and grandchildren. A memorial service will be held for Seon at 2:00 pm on Tuesday, July 21, 2015 in the Kamloops Funeral Home Chapel, 285 Fortune Drive. Warmest regards to the dedicated staff and volunteers at the Kamloops Hospital (4 North) and Ridgeview Lodge.

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

Her Journey’s Just Begun Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun. Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away. And think of her as living, In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much. E. Brenneman

JOHNSON ENDS SPIETH’S RUN

DOUG FERGUSON

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — Jordan Spieth’s spirited bid for a Grand Slam was stopped yesterday by Zach Johnson, who is no longer just a normal guy from Iowa. Not with a claret jug to go with that green jacket. Johnson captured his second major — this one at the home of golf — winning the British Open in a playoff over Louis Oosthuizen and Marc Leishman that capped off five wild days at St. Andrews and a suspense-filled final round. Most eyes were on 21-year-old Spieth. No one ever came closer to the third leg of the Grand Slam.

Spieth fought back from taking four putts for a double bogey on No. 8 with back-to-back birdies. He rolled in a 50-foot birdie putt for a share of the lead with two holes to play. After missing an 8-foot par putt on the 17th hole, he needed a birdie on the closing hole to join the playoff. “Up and down for a playoff,’’ was the last thing Spieth said to caddie Michael Greller from about 90 yards away. It was too far right and rolled to the edge of the Valley of Sin short of the green. His

Sea-to-Sky Highway 99, Whistler-Pemberton IRONMAN Canada Triathlon

Sunday, July 26, 2015

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure notifies the public of the IRONMAN Canada Whistler/Pemberton Triathlon. Event cyclists will travel along the Sea-to-Sky Highway 99 between Whistler and Pemberton, on Callaghan Valley Road and Pemberton Meadows Road. To ensure safety, this event will result in traffic pattern changes, delays and closures on Sunday, July 26, 2015: Vancouver to Whistler: • Highway 99 Northbound Open all day to Alpine Way/Whistler. Whistler to Pemberton: • Highway 99 Northbound Closure, between Alpine Way/Whistler to Pemberton, 8:45 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Whistler: • Highway 99 Southbound Closure, between Alpine Way/Whistler to Callaghan Valley Road, 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. • Callaghan Valley Road Closure, 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Pemberton South: • Highway 99 Southbound Closure, between Portage Road/Pemberton to Alpine Way/Whistler, 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Pemberton Meadows Road: • Northbound Road Closure, 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. • Southbound Road Closure, 10:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Motorists are asked to travel before or after closure times, allow extra time or plan alternate routes. Please exercise caution, watch for traffic control personnel and follow all signs. Your patience during the event is appreciated.

birdie attempt up the slope stayed inches left of the cup. “We gave it a great effort,’’ Spieth said. He joined Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods — the three biggest names in golf over the last halfcentury — as the only players to capture the Masters and U.S. Open, only to come up short in a quest for the holy grail in golf — all four professional majors in the same year. Johnson won the Masters in 2007 and described himself as just a normal guy from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Not anymore. The 39-year-old Johnson now has two majors among his 12 PGA Tour victories, an astounding record and an example that a good wedge game and putter can still go a long way in this era of the long ball. Johnson was in tears when he was interviewed off the green and he cradled the jug after his acceptance speech. “I’m grateful. I’m humbled. I’m hon-

oured,’’ Johnson said. “This is the birthplace of the game and that jug means so much in sports.’’ On a tense afternoon of shadows and showers on the Old Course, Johnson closed with a 6-under 66 by holing a 30-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole in regulation and caddie Damon Green strutted and flapped his arms in his celebratory chicken dance. Johnson was the first to post at 15-under 273 with his 30-foot birdie putt. Leishman, who considered giving up golf in April when his wife nearly died of a rare respiratory illness, made one bad swing in the closing holes that cost him a bogey on the 16th hole to fall into a share of the lead with Johnson. He had a birdie putt for the win that stayed wide left. After Spieth had to settle for par and a 69 to tie for fourth, Oosthuizen made a 10-foot par putt on the Road Hole at No. 17 to stay one shot behind, and he delivered a

clutch moment of his own with a wedge to 5 feet for birdie and a 69 to join the playoff. It was the first British Open playoff since Stewart Cink beat Tom Watson at Turnberry in 2009, and the first involving more than two players since 2002 at Muirfield, the year Woods failed in his bid for the third leg of the slam. Spieth showed guts over the final two hours and class when his bid was over. He walked off the 18th green applauding the fans and giving them a thumbs-up, stayed to watch the closing hole in the playoff and came back onto the course to hug Johnson. Spieth now goes to the PGA Championship with a tiny piece of history left to chase. No one has ever swept the three American majors in the same year. And he can only hope he gets this chance again. Palmer, Nicklaus and Woods never again won the Masters and U.S. Open in the same year.

Canada, Gillies win gold in Pan Am Games thriller AJAX, Ont. — A botched pick off and two American errors in the bottom of the 10th led to two runs as Canada’s men’s baseball team edged the United States 7-6 on Sunday to defend its Pan American baseball title. Tyson Gillies, a Clearwater product who played in the Kamloops Minor Baseball Association ranks, was on the Canadian team. U.S. pitcher David Huff tried to pick off Pete Orr at first base, but his throw went into right field to score Skyler Stromsmoe. The right-fielder’s throw to third then went wide, allowing Orr to score the winning run as the Canadians beat the Americans for Pan Am gold for the second straight Games. The international tiebreaker was put in place in extra innings, meaning each team begins the frame with runners on first and second. The U.S. had taken a 6-4 lead in the top of the 10th with Tyler Pastornicky’s two-run single off Chris Leroux. Orr cut the deficit to 6-5 when his single off Huff scored Gillies. Rene Tosoni hit a three-run shot for Canada and Jordan Lennerton had a sacrifice fly for his teamleading ninth run batted in of the tournament.

Senate wants CBC to find new revenue streams THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — A Senate committee is calling on Canada’s public broadcaster to publicly disclose how much employees make and ensure non-executives aren’t getting paid more than their peers in private broadcasting. The Senate’s communications committee is also calling on the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. to find new ways to fund its operations in order to limit the amount of funding it receives from the federal government. The committee rejected the idea of stable, multi-year funding for the Crown corporation, saying funding is based on “the fiscal demands of the federal government.’’ Senators raised the possibility of using the PBS funding model — where viewers donate money or pay for sponsorships of programs — or charging a license fee to every home in the country with a television, which is how the BBC receives some of its funds.

No more water for lawns in Metro Vancouver

MONTREAL — Claudine Forget said she feared the worst when her colleague began chatting with her online this past weekend by saying: “Call me — it’s urgent.’’ “He told me to sit down,’’ said Forget, who works the night shift for hardware retailer Rona Inc. south of Montreal. “I told him to stop. I thought something had happened to his family. “Then he said we won $55 million.’’ Forget and all but one of her co-winners — graveyard shift workers who bought the Lotto Max ticket together — collected their windfall at Loto-Quebec headquarters yesterday.

Metro Vancouver, the authority that governs the water supply for 21 cities and municipalities, has banned the use of sprinklers in an effort to conserve its dwindling reservoirs.

Feds expected to collect $340M in child benefits OTTAWA — The Canadian Taxpayers Federation estimates the federal government will claw back almost $340 million in taxes from families from the almost $3 billion in child benefit payments released yesterday. Government ministers are touting the increase in universal child care benefits at events across the country and online, with Employment Minister Pierre Poilievre calling the extra cash “Christmas in July.’’ But the government faces some criticism for taxing the handouts. The enhanced benefit payments began arriving yesterday, with the value rising to $160 from $100 for every child in Canada under age six, and a new $60 per month payment for every child age six to 17. The government has taxed the benefit on the lower income earner in every home since the benefit was created in 2006. The government estimates that 200,000 of the four million families eligible for the monthly payments have yet to sign up for the program. — The Canadian Press

llen Doty’s plan was to get a degree in geology. She almost made it through — but the music of Nat King Cole kept pulling at her, tugging at the musical side that started when she was just five years old singing in church, singing whenever she could. The degree was never completed, but the Alberta jazz singer doesn’t have any regrets. In fact, her decision played a large role in the name of her first full-length recording, Gold, which was released last year. “It’s because I found my gold in music,” Doty said. “I searched for a long time and finally found it.” See DOTY, B2

PHIL CROZIER PHOTO Ellen Doty is about to embark on her second annual tour of the Interior region of B.C. and expects to release a new record next spring.

DOTY INFLUENCED BY NAT KING COLE, MUSICAL FAMILY From B1

Her parents weren’t too happy when she abandoned her postsecondary studies, she said, but with some impressive awards on her musical resume, “they’re really supportive.” In 2013, she was named the outstanding soloist at the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival and she’s done a Banff Centre artist residency for collaborative songwriting. She’s now working with songwriters in Los Angeles and Toronto and that’s just helping her musicality grow, she said. Doty tours often — last fall, she did 46 shows in 30 communities across the country — and is about to embark on her second annual tour of the Interior region of B.C.,

JUST SO YOU KNOW WHO: Ellen Doty WHEN: Friday, July 31, 7 p.m. WHERE: Harper’s Trail Winery, 2761 Shuswap Rd. TICKETS: $30, which includes one glass of wine. Available by calling Vicki Collett at 250-320-2188.

including an outdoor show on July 31 at Harper’s Trail winery, 2761 Shuswap Rd. Music just came naturally, Doty said. With musically inclined parents — mom played organ for the church choir and both of them sang — Doty started exercising her pipes early. She remembers her first performance before an audience. “I was in Grade 1 and I sang for the talent show,” she said. Her musical choice? “Can You Feel the Love Tonight from The

Lion King.” The Nat King Cole influence comes from her grandparents, neighbours of the legendary singer who passed down his music to her. “He’s definitely one of my favourites,”she said, noting she covers some of his iconic songs including L-OV-E and A Nightingale Sange in Berkeley Square. One of her recent songs strayed from what she says is her usual upbeat, light and happy music. Just So You Know

was written after Doty’s close friend, Sheree Evangelista, died in a car accident. She said her inspiration came from her friend’s husband, Lester, who continued to struggle with the loss months after the funeral was over and people had returned to their normal lives. He feared forgetting his wife — her smile, her laugh — and Doty used those feelings and words to create the song. It is one of the tracks on a new recording she’s working on, one she expects will be released next spring. Tickets for the 7 p.m. performance are $30, which includes one glass of wine. They are available at the winery or by calling Vicki Collett at 250320-2188.

KTW at X Fest

Andrew Cooper and Kelsey Gilker rehearse a scene from The Shakespeare Show. DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Project X Theatre’s annual summer festival is back at Prince Charles Park with two new shows this year. The Shakespeare Show (Or How an Illiterate Son of a Glover Became the Greatest Playwright in the World) and The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood began on alternate nights earlier this month. It continues with nightly shows Monday to Saturday, which start at 7:30 p.m., until Aug. 1, with a matinee, which begins at 3 p.m., on the final day. On Monday nights, tickets are buy one get one free and select shows are pay what you can admission. Tickets are $25 for adults, $20 for students and seniors and $12 for kids 12 and younger, and can be bought from Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483 or kamloopslive.ca. Meantime, check out what KTW thought of the shows.

THE SHAKESPEARE SHOW CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

KTW

ith a flip of a hat, the characters multiply like the stories of The Bard himself, turning a special corner of Prince Charles Park into a stage that stretches back more than 400 years. The Shakespeare Show (Or How an Illiterate Son of a Glover Became the Greatest Playwright in the World) is one of two plays that form XFest 2015, the annual summer theatre showcase produced by Project X Theatre. It is performed on alternate nights until Aug. 1, sharing the park stage with The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood. The premise of The Shakespeare Show is that William Shakespeare did not write all those masterpieces. He did not write the comedies. He did not write the tragedies. He did not write the histories. He could not have authored them for, in the mind of The Shakespeare Show author Ryan Gladstone, The Bard was a horse-holder who could neither read nor write. Who, then, wrote Romeo and Juliet and The Tempest and

REVIEW Merchant of Venice and Henry IV and all the rest? If you wander down to Prince Charles Park this month, you will discover it was The Earl of Oxford — and the interplay between Oxford and Shakespeare is what makes the play a humorous gem. More remarkable is the fact The Earl of Oxford and William Shakespeare — and 28 other characters — are portrayed by just two actors: Kelsey Gilker and Andrew Cooper. Iambic pentameter patter dominates as the two actors verbally joust in the various roles, with a particular “thumb war” during Romeo and Juliet being a comedic highlight. Gilker and Cooper have a massive responsibility in portraying 30 combined characters for an audience that sits close enough to notice the slightest change of detail in the face of three performers. The duo does the job masterfully. The bonus to the play is that even those who cannot remember a single line from a single Shakespeare play can — and will — enjoy the show.

THE MERRY ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

obin Hood is now Robin ‘Ooood in my vocabulary, thanks to Andrew Cooper. Cooper, who plays Guy of Gisborne in X Fest’s The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood, brought laughter to Sherwood Forest with a French accent that made almost any phrase funny, just for the way he said it. Cooper’s scenes with Stephen Sawka, who played the Sherriff of Notingham, were a highlight on opening

night in Prince Charles Park, where the stands were packed in anticipation of the story written by Jeff Pitcher. The play marks Sawka’s first time portraying a villain and castmate Wyatt Purcha’s first time on a professional stage, but you wouldn’t have known by Sawka’s devilish expressions and Purcha’s humble comfort in the role of Little John. As promised, Prince Charles Park was transformed into Sherwood Forest with the use of actual trees framing the set. It was fun watching the classic tale play out, with the 12 cast members bouncing

around and through the stage, complete with swordfighting. A shooting competition near the end of the show, in which arrows appeared to strike a target in all the right spots, begged the question, “How’d they do that?” And, after a couple of more shots, it became clear a clever illusion was crafted, with arrows popping out from the other side and sound effects making it seem like characters were shooting, despite having no arrows loaded in their bows. This is a good show for the kids or anyone who enjoys the story of Robin ‘Ooood.

ABC’S OF ART

Sherri Abraham (right) and Scott Brown (below) were among students who took to the canvas at the Kamloops Art Gallery on the weekend. The gallery is holding art lessons — dubbed Painting 101 — for those interested in learning about acrylic painting. The next one is on Saturday from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. For more information, go online to kag.bc.ca.

After more than two weeks of music in Riverside Park, organizer Henry Small said he’s spending more time there in the evenings than in previous years. There’s a reason for it — and it’s not because of problems. Instead, Small said, he feels like this year’s edition of Music in the Park is one of the best he’s ever put together. “It gets better every year,” Small said of the annual musicfest he’s been involved with for more than two decades. “The music is better. It’s better attended.” While rock is in the veteran musician’s background, he tries to cover all genres that will be family friendly, from big-band classics to roots and blues to Celtic to classic rock. In recent years, special evenings have evolved. Earlier in the month was the second annual Hijacked festival with tribute bands and next month Ribfest will spice things up with two nights of rock and reggae, courtesy of Totally Tom Petty and Mo Marley. On July 23, longtime Music in the Park sponsor B.C. Lottery Corporation (BCLC) will mark its 39th anniversary with Midsummer Music Jam. The band that evening will take the audience back to the 1980s — the decade that saw the creation of BCLC. Headlining will be Catch 22, a group that bills itself as the ultimate party band, musicians who can go from ABBA to ZZ Top. Hosting the evening will be Kamloops native and Global News’ weatherman Mark Madryga. Music in the Park events start at 7 p.m. nightly.

Q. My mom is 84 and is becoming isolated. Over the past few years she has lost many friends and most recently gave up driving. I have suggested retirement community living but she feels she is not ready. I think she would thrive in a retirement community setting but I can’t seem to nd the right words to convince her. Have you got any tips for me? A. “I’m not ready yet” is something we often hear. If you’ve been following my column you will have read the many benets of retirement community living. One area that I have not written much about are the many opportunities and benets of volunteering. Volunteering gives us a sense of purpose and meaning. It offers something beyond ourselves to live for. Individuals who volunteer are rewarded with social, emotional, and even physical health benets. A greater feeling of productivity and an overall sense that life has improved. The improvements in self-esteem and personal growth are immeasurable. Volunteer opportunities such as working in the library, teaching music or painting classes and gardening are available at most RCs. If the other benets of RC living have not spoken to your mom perhaps volunteering will!

rash, bang, wallop — and the crash test is all over in a shorter time than it takes to say those first words aloud. You would have to speak loudly to be heard over the loud bang and sounds of shattering glass that echo around the cavernous building used to test

the crash worthiness of dozens of vehicles annually by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). It’s quite a show to witness up close but this is not entertainment. The various impact tests the IIHS run are designed to save lives. And, should you be tempted to smile, an inspection of the smashed vehicle will soon wipe it from your face. Prior to the test smash, a

group of Canadian journalists spent a couple of hours touring the facility, eyeing many mangled wrecks which, reassuringly, looked less wrecked the closer we got to later models. Clearly, their designers had learned some good lessons from the kind of thudding impact we witnessed. Yes, indeed, car safety design has come a long way in the past 50-plus years and we were reminded of that as

we entered the lobby. There was displayed a frighteningly crumpled 1959 Chevy Bel Air: nobody would have walked away from that smash in one piece. By the time we reached the viewing gantry above the test track, we were ready to witness the small overlap frontal test, which simulates the impact of a car’s front corner colliding with another car or utility pole. The lights began to shine

brightly and we heard the rumble of the car as it launched along the 180-metre guide track. As the driver’s side of the car hit the one-metre high barrier, the dummy driving may just have noticed the speedo was hovering at 65 kilometres per hour. (Shouldn’t have taken his eyes off the road.)

All was captured on highdefinition cameras from every angle and, before we were released to amble over to inspect the damage, technicians armed with laptops downloaded all the crash data stored by sensors in and on the car. On impact, the car had spun off almost three metres to the right, rotating before it came to a halt in what might have been a sidewalk in real life — hope there was no pedestrian in its path. At the end of the day, the car manufacturer representatives would walk away with a DVD loaded with data and images, to be followed by a detailed examination

some weeks later. It’s over so quickly that it’s hard for the casual observer to learn much, but a slowmotion video made for chilling viewing as you see the $250,000 dummy driver (some cost up to $600,000) flailing while hitting the airbag. Every habitual red-light runner should be forced to take in this horror movie. The IIHS, which began in 1959, is a U.S. non-profit organization funded by auto insurers. The goal is to reduce injuries and fatalities on U.S. roads and highways, but its powerful research has an impact worldwide, no pun intended. The tour was truly a reve-

lation and demonstrated how most of today’s cars come through rigorous impact tests with good marks and those that don’t soon get a fix. We were hosted by Subaru Canada, which has much to boast about though it was restrained in blowing its own trumpet on location. All Subaru models have been named IIHS Top Safety Picks for six years running. And that’s some feat: To qualify as a 2015 Top Safety Pick, a vehicle must earn good ratings in the moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head-restraint tests, as well as a good or acceptable rating in the small overlap front test. Subaru is excited its optional Eyesight system has

earned the top IIHS rating of Superior for front crash protection. According to Subaru Canada, the company expects the percentage of buyers opting for Eyesight to increase from the current 19 per cent to 30 per cent by the end of the 2016 model year. The Eyesight system detects obstacles and is capable of bringing a vehicle to a complete stop at speeds up to 50 kilometres per hour. By the way, for those concerned about crashtest dummy cruelty, Raul Arbelaez, vice president of operations for the IIHS, says: “Our dummies aren’t getting as hurt as much they used to. “We don’t have to replace as many rib cages anymore.”

Nissan said in documents posted recently with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it got five warranty claims in June and July of 2014, so it opened an investigation. Two claims involved the engine shutting off while cars were moving, but there were no crashes or injuries. By the end of 2014, four more claims came in, none involv-

Downtown is... Downtown Merchants’ Market

Downtown Kamloops is set to have its busiest week of the year. The annual Downtown Merchants’ Market, July 22 to July 25, brings some of the best shopping days of the year and turns the streets of the city centre into an entertainment venue. A few highlights include Car-Free Day, The Taste of Downtown, Battle of the Bands and sidewalk sales. Gay Pooler, general manager of the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association (KCBIA) said the market has gone through many metamorphoses since the 1980s when it was confined to the 200-block of Victoria Street and hosted by the downtown businesses. When the KCBIA was created in 2002 it took over organizing the market, but it has always been driven by downtown merchants who take the opportunity to spill into the sidewalk and have some fun. “We have a great downtown,” Pooler said. “We’re always trying to encourage locals to come down.”

YOU &

THE

LAW Downtown is Gillespie & Company LLP MILD BRAIN INJURY IS TRAUMATIC

avid, 19, was broad-sided by another vehicle which drove through a red light. He struck his head against the windshield and his knee against the dash, suffering a mild whiplash, cuts and bruising to the left side of his face (and a badly bruised ear drum) plus a cut and bruised knee. While he didn’t lose consciousness, he probably suffered a concussion in which his awareness was altered. He was treated in the emergency room and released later that night. David recovered from his physical injuries within six months after the accident. But he drank more, forgot about his hockey practices, slept more during the day, needed to be reminded what to do at work, and was generally difficult to get along with. Based on the evidence – including medical witnesses – the BC Supreme Court concluded that David had suffered mild traumatic brain injury or MTBI, and he was compensated accordingly. A mild traumatic brain injury is often the least understood or accepted consequence of a car crash or other accident. Yet it can be devastating. You can appear normal, but may experience cognitive changes (memory loss, an inability to concentrate and/or difficulty solving problems), personality changes (mood swings, frustration, irritability and/or anger), and physical effects (fatigue, sleep disturbance, dizziness and/or headaches). MTBI can affect your job, marriage and relationships with friends and family, and lead to depression. With a brain injury, you usually become unconscious for a few minutes or more immediately after the accident – but not always. An injury with little or no loss of consciousness can also cause brain damage. And MTBI can occur in the absence of a blow to the head, i.e., a whiplash type of movement can also cause an injury to the brain. Various tests are used to diagnose a brain injury. Neurological examinations may include a CT, MRI, PET or SPECT scans, EEG and “brain mapping.” But these exams don’t always pick up the injury. As a result, MTBI can go undiagnosed. Neuropsychological testing – which evaluates how the injury has affected your learning, organizational skills and cognitive thinking – is therefore another useful diagnostic tool. This involves taking a case history, reviewing hospital records, interviewing you and family members, employers and co-workers, and administering cognitive and other tests. In time, many people recover fully from a mild traumatic brain injury. But some continue to have permanent problems. It’s important to seek legal advice as soon after the accident as possible in suspected cases of MTBI. Crucial evidence can otherwise be lost if a thorough investigation isn’t done during this time. Your lawyer will be aware of the latest medical knowledge relating to brain injuries and know the experts to refer you to for proper diagnosis and rehabilitation. He or she will advise you about your rights to compensation, and with the reports and evidence (including an assessment of any economic losses) in hand, will advocate on your behalf for a fair settlement to your claim.

Allen Douglas/KTW Live at Lunch and Music in the Park will run for the rest of the summer in Riverside Park and downtown Kamloops. Battle of Bands kicks off at noon on Saturday on Fourth Avenue between Lansdowne and Victoria Streets during the Merchants’ Market. For more information, go online to downtownkamloops.ca.

Follow the beat

Downtown Kamloops is a music venue all summer with Live at Lunch and Music in the Park. This week the streets themselves will stage musicians for the latest Battle of the Bands coming during the Merchants’ Market. Last year’s second-place winner, The Caspians, will make another appearance this year after a busy weekend with Music in the Park Hijacked. “It was the biggest stage we’ve ever played on,” said guitarist Jared Doherty. “It was cool because you look out there and it’s a huge audience. It’s the most people we’ve every played in front of at one time I think we can safely say so it was a cool feeling.” The four-piece alternative rock band, which has been playing as a group for six years, released its debut album Costume Jewelry in April. Since then they’ve been playing as many

shows as they can in and outside of Kamloops and claim to have graced almost every venue in the city. “In the last couple years the Kamloops scene for local bands is rapidly growing,” Doherty said. “There are a lot of bands and places like Zack’s [Coffee] and the downtown core that have a lot of shows are really good for building the community aspect of it.” Battle of the Bands is an especially interesting gig because of the judging aspect. Doherty said the band takes the extra time to prepare and aims to come out of the show with some feedback. “The philosophy is to learn something from every show,” he said. “We’re looking forward to it. It was a lot of fun last year and those are the people who might never hear you.” The rest of the four days of the Merchants’ Market will also feature sidewalk performances.

Downtown is...

Downtown Dialogue: We’re closing the streets, one day only Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association The Downtown Merchants’ Market brings the perfect opportunity to try out some of our great public space programming ideas and thoughts that pop into our heads throughout the year. The reason it is a great time and place is it is the four days per year when downtown retailers all have sales and residents and tourists alike descend into the downtown core. Many people and groups have approached us and the city about the prospect of closing down Victoria Street to traffic. In theory, this is not a terrible idea but in practice it can make or break your business district. It is actually very hard to fill an empty street with

enough programming, activity and people to sustain it. Last year we decided to test the notion of closing three blocks of Victoria Street to traffic for one day. We called it Car-Free Day. It is a fun-filled day full of frolic, games, eats , entertainment and shopping. This year, for a second time, Downtown Kamloops will be hosting it again. We’ll be closing the 200-, 300- and, 400-block Victoria Street from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. for one day only, July 22, for an expanded Farmer’s Market, Community Carnival and Car-Free Day. It will be like a super Saturday market on Wednesday. This day is all about demonstrating the vibrancy

of Kamloops and drawing on the creative energy of all of our neighbours to remake and rethink local roadways as places of art, culture and sociability. We are reclaiming traffic thoroughfares as community-focused public spaces, allowing residents, artists, performers, artisans, non-profits and businesses to interact, engage and re-imagine spaces normally reserved for vehicle traffic.

On the flipside, we really have no need to close down streets in our downtown core to traffic on a regular or permanent basis. Our downtown has big beautiful sidewalks, public plazas, parks and a multitude of space that can be embraced, programmed and taken advantage of before the need to close streets. We are going to take advantage of these features
