GLEN ROBITAILLE, 95 ‘I read some place love is many things. It’s a lot of things. I love my dog, I love my computer, I love my wife. You know I’m not a philosopher. I’m just an old man. I can’t give you a description of love because it gets expressed in a million different ways. It’s an attraction between two things — one of which is a human being or animal. Dogs can love, too. So, I can’t answer your question.’

CHARGES LAID IN TEEN PORN CASE By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Three boys have been arrested and formally charged with distribution of child pornography by RCMP, one of them jailed overnight because he refused to sign a judicial-release document. Kamloops RCMP held a press conference on Thursday, Feb. 13, in relation to the investigation first triggered by information given to police by the Kamloops-Thompson school district. The three boys are under the ages of 18. Mounties launched an investigation on Jan. 21

after a Kamloops high-school student informed a staff member at a local school about an alleged incident taking place on social media. RCMP arrested and charged the three boys on Wednesday, Feb. 12. Cpl. Cheryl Bush said the investigation remains open. “Two of the youth arrested were released at the time,” Bush said. “One youth remained in custody and was to appear in court today [Feb. 13]. “At the time of their arrest, the youth had the opportunity to be released on signing of documents. One of the youth chose not to sign the documents and

was held in custody to appear in front of a judge.” KTW was at the bail hearing, which was held in provincial court on Thursday, Feb. 13. Court-ordered bans prevent details of the bail hearing from being published. There is also a ban on information that would lead to the identity of the three accused, as well as the identities of any witnesses. Bush declined to describe any of the images under scrutiny, including whether they were downloaded from the Internet or taken by students themselves. “We’re not going to get into the specifics,” she said of the images.

WestJet Encore to end ﬂights to Vancouver Company cites departure time; says route may be revived when new planes are added By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

WestJet Airlines will cease its daily Encore flights to and from Vancouver at the end of the month, with not enough passengers using the service to make it viable. The final flight to Vancouver will leave Kamloops Airport on Friday, Feb. 28, at 10:16 a.m. Robert Palmer, manager of public relations for WestJet, said flight times — WestJet Encore landed in Kamloops from Vancouver daily at 9:46 a.m. and left Kamloops for

Vancouver daily at 10:16 a.m. — simply are not conducive to the business traveller. “For the business traveller, if you have a morning meeting in Vancouver, this flight is not going to do it for you,” Palmer said. He noted flight times and frequency are based on aircraft and availability. Encore has nine planes engaged in 16 flights to 16 destinations in Western Canada. WestJet launched its Encore service, which uses 78-seat Bombardier Q400 planes (consisting of about half the seat

While WestJet will stop flying to Vancouver from Kamloops, the airline will continue to offer twice-daily flights to Calgary. KTW file photo

capacity of WestJet’s main aircraft, in June 2013. Encore’s daily flights between Kamloops and Vancouver began on Nov. 25, 2013. “The flights were not performing to the point where we might

have been in a position to wait it out down the road,” Palmer said. Fred Legace, manager of the Kamloops Airport, agreed the flight hasn’t been performing as well as others departing from the airport, and that the timing of the ser-

vice is to blame. But, while the flight wasn’t hitting the targets WestJet prefers — around 80 per cent capacity — Legace said it was doing better than he would have expected. “What that tells me is the’ve got a pretty

good market going into Vancouver if they could have something that fits a little bit better with the travel patterns of people that want to use it,” he said. “At a better time of day, I think they’ll do quite well.” There is a chance WestJet Encore could return with flights to Vancouver. Palmer said the company plans to add seven planes to its fleet by the end

of the year. “With 16, that’s almost double,” Palmer said. “We’ll obviously be in a position to look at resuming the service.” The cancellation gives Air Canada Jazz a monopoly on flights between Kamloops and Vancouver. The company runs seven flights a day between the two cities. WestJet, which has served Kamloops since December 2008, continues to offer twice-daily flights to Calgary. “We very much remain committed to Kamloops,” Palmer said.

GETTING INKED FROM THE HEART STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Three Kamloopsians are wearing their hearts on their sleeves this Valentine’s Day. Two, freshly inked red shapes are now permanently imprinted on their arms, but all three are sharing their hearts, equally as permanent, for a joint cause. One is using his business to help the community. Another is honouring her father. The third is celebrating 10 years working for a community non-profit organization. They all came together this week at D’Lux Tattoo Studio in North Kamloops for their own reasons, but also to raise awareness and funds during February’s Heart and Stroke Month. D’Lux owner Devon Sims is discounting tattoos for the month, donating half the proceeds to the Heart and Stroke Foundation as part of more than 40 events happening locally for the cause. It’s a whole-hearted decision for those participating — both the permanent nature and the required heart design. Sims is posting paper hearts on his business’s front

window for each person inked for the cause. Two local Heart and Stroke Foundation employees put up the 30th and 40th hearts in his window this week. Bzzzzzzzzz. “It’s like a bee stinging me,” said Teresa Moore, teary-eyed. The small outline of a heart appeared on her right forearm. She’s happy with the subtle red shading and how the tattoo marks her 10th year with the Heart and Stroke Foundation, but she’s relieved the pain is over. Moore’s co-worker, Denise Jolie, joined her in the adjacent seat as she also received her first tattoo. She picked a swirly heart on her right hand. It’s for her father who survived a stroke and lives with partial paralysis. “I didn’t want to get a tattoo just because,” she said. “I’m doing it in honour of him.” After about 15 minutes, she was happy with the result, noting the pain wasn’t as bad as she thought it would be. “It was meant to be,” she said, adding she can show it off at provincial meetings this weekend. Sims snapped photos of the two ladies for his charity wall.

BACK

“I feel like a proud parent,” he said with a chuckle. The photos will join those of a similar campaign he launched in November. Sims opened his shop that month and tattooed 74 moustaches to raise money for prostate-cancer research during the Movember fundraising movement. This cause, however, is a little closer to his heart. Sims’ grandmother passed away of heart failure in November, her memory tattooed on his heart. “It hit home,” he said. After a decade of tattooing, Sims said he’s reached a time in his life to give back and gain “karmic points.” He’s also hoping to overcome tattoo stigmas. “It’s hard to pass judgment on someone who has a heart tattoo,” he said. “It’s for a good cause.” From the man wearing about 350 hours of ink, including a neck tattoo, his advice is candid. “Make sure it’s what you want,” he said. A selection of more than 20 heart tattoos are available at D’Lux Tattoo Studio, 275 Tranquille Rd., for $30 during February. Half the proceeds will be donated to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Walk-in appointments are welcome.

Schoenborn denied release CANADIAN PRESS

PORT COQUITLAM — A father found not criminally responsible for killing his three children won’t be able to apply for permission to leave the psychiatric hospital he now calls home, a provincial review board has decided. Allan Schoenborn had applied for escorted absences, nearly six years after he killed his children at their home in Merritt. His treatment team at the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital told a B.C. Review Board hearing that Schoenborn posted too great a risk to public safety to be let out. “They’ve made a decision — and we’re very glad to hear it — that Allan Schoenborn will be kept in custody for another year,’’ said Dave Teixeira, who speaks for the family of Schoenborn’s ex-wife, Darcie Clarke. “The word [from the family] is ‘relief.’ I can’t say they’re overjoyed because there are three young children who will never see the light of day again because of Allan Schoenborn’s actions.’’ Schoenborn stabbed

his daughter Kaitlynne, 10, and then smothered his sons, eight-year-old Max and five-year-old Cordon, at their home in Merritt in April 2008, leaving their bodies to be found by their mother, Darcie Clarke. He fled, only to be found more than a week later dehydrated in the woods nearby. A judge later concluded he was likely suffering from a psychotic state during the murders and was therefore not criminally responsible due to mental disorder. He has spent the subsequent years at a forensic hospital in Port Coquitlam, east of Vancouver, where his case is reviewed annually. Schoenborn addressed the review board himself, saying he deserved to have the chance to go for a swim or grab a cub of coffee after several years at the hospital. “I think I’ve been in the hospital now for four years,’’ he said. “I’d like the opportunity to go outside of the gate and maybe have a swim or a cup of coffee.’’ Under questioning by board members, Schoenborn said he has been “waiting patiently’’ during those four years.

“I think if it’s not now, it’ll be never,’’ he said, dressed in jeans and a brown button-up shirt over a red T-shirt. “I’ve done work for four years. I think I deserve it now. I’ve done the work. I’ve done anger management. I’ve done the relapse prevention.’’ Schoenborn, who was 40 when he killed his children, is today unrecognizable from the skeletal fugitive whose face was broadcast by police during a week-long manhunt. The unruly, matted hair in his police mug shot has been cropped short. He has gained a significant amount of weight and the board members were told he spends about 16 hours a day in his room, 12 of them sleeping. His treatment team at the hospital disagreed with Schoenborn’s assessment that he is ready to venture outside. “There can be no doubt that Mr. Schoenborn remains a significant threat to public safety,’’ Deborah Lovett, lawyer for the hospital’s director, told the board. Schoenborn suffers from delusional disorder, substance abuse

and paranoia. Dr. Marcel Hediger, his treating psychiatrist, told board members Schoenborn hasn’t suffered delusional symptoms or been involved in any significant violent incidents in the past three years. Hediger said anger management has been the focus of treatment and Schoenborn has been involved in verbal altercations with staff. He has little insight into what triggers his angry outbursts, including what triggered the killings, said Hediger. Just days before the hearing, Schoenborn spent a night in isolation after lashing out verbally at a nurse. Given these incidents occurred in the low-stress, highly manSTATE OF THE ART FITNESS EQUIPMENT • ADVANCED CARDIO O EQU QUIPM QU IPM PMENT • SQ PMENT S SQUAS U H UAS H,, RAC RACQUE ACQUE Q TBA QU TB LL & W WALL ALLYBA ALL LLYBA YBALL YBA LL • TAN TANNIN NING NIN G & SP S RAY SPRAY Y TA TANNING NNING JUICE, SMOOTHIE & COFFEE BAR • WORLD CLASS BOOT CAMP MP M P ROO R M • CHIL CHIL H DMI DMINDI MINDI M NDING NG • PER E SONAL TRAINING • SAU SAUNAS NAS & STE STEAM AM ROO RO MS

aged environment of the hospital, Hediger said he is concerned about what could happen if Schoenborn is allowed into the unpredictable environment of the outside world. Leanne Lee, a psychiatric nurse and Schoenborn’s case manager, said Schoenborn has regular telephone contact with his mother, who has come to visit him several times. He has no contact with his brother or sister. Schoenborn’s case parked proposed changes to the federal law that include a new “highrisk’’ designation for offenders deemed not criminally responsible. The revisions would allow such offenders hearings every three years.

City, KGHM, seeking intervenor status with NEB By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A former attorney general of B.C., the proponents of the Ajax mine and the Kamloops Naturalist Club are among the many Kamloops parties seeking intervenor status during the National Energy Board’s (NEB) review of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion. Applications for intervenor status were due by noon on Wednesday, Feb. 12. By the close of the filing period, more than 1,800 people had applied to participate in the NEB’s hearings on the pipeline expansion, which would increase the capacity of the Alberta to Burnaby line from 300,000 barrels of crude and refined oil products per day to 890,000 barrels per day. The hearings will focus on 12 issues surrounding the project,

which include potential impacts to landowners and users and contingency plans for any spills or other malfunctions of the pipeline once it’s built and during construction. Intervenors can be either parties who are directly affected by the new line or those with information to share that is relevant to the NEB’s 12 issues. KGHM Ajax, proponent of the Ajax copper and gold mine, fits in the former category. The original Trans Mountain line intersects the mine property,

route the new Trans Mountain line through a fibre-optic corridor in the Lac du Bois Protected Area. In its filing, the club says it toured Lac du Bois at Kinder Morgan’s invitation last fall. “We explored the expansion area and learned in detail the extent of disturbance of the proposed pipeline and agreed that the interference to this ecosystem is not acceptable and would cause long-lasting harm to the habitat,” the filing reads. Also applying for intervenor status are the City of Kamloops, the Thompson-Nicola Regional District, the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce, the North Shore Business Improvement Association, the Stk’emlupsemc te Secwepemc, which represents both the Tk’emlups and Skeetchestn bands, and the Kamloops Chapter of the B.C. Sustainable Energy Association.

conflicts the two projects pose, but the company wants to reserve the right to speak during the hearings in case of deadlock. Sugarloaf Ranches Ltd., a company that owns property southwest of Kamloops that is also crossed by the pipe, has filed a similar application. Bud Smith, former attorney general and Social Credit MLA for Kamloops, isn’t among those directly affected by the pipeline, but said in his application he can speak to the effect of the original Trans Mountain line in Kamloops over its 60-plus years of operation. Smith said the pipe has been important to Kamloops and the Southern Interior and its operators “have satisfied the ‘precautionary principle’ in terms of constructing and operating a pipeline in this area for coming on 61 years.” The Kamloops Naturalist Club, meanwhile, objects to plans to

The heart will keep trying — even through boogie yoga

HAT BETTER WAY to start a cheeryour-lonely-heart-up Valentine’s Day column than on a Plenty of Fish first date. In the interest of transparency, I’ll admit my first attempted POF encounter, in Saskatoon, ended before it started. I had driven my rig down from Prince Albert (I worked there for a Twilight-Zone, seventh-month stretch) to meet someone who had clearly been lying about her appearance. We locked eyes from across the dingy cowboy bar. I left. At least it got me out of PA for a few hours. Now, back to the first date that actually happened. I rolled over in bed one Saturday morning and, naturally, opened the online dating app on my beat-down IPhone 4. Lo and behold! Could this be? It was an attractive woman who didn’t appear to be crazy, spelled decently and was OK with me not owning a snowmobile, a gun or a boat. (What is it with you Interior/ Okanagan women and your obsession with motorized vehicles and firearms?) I messaged the Kelowna-based gal and, much to my surprise, she replied immediately, so I cut to the chase. Can we meet in Falkland in like two hours? She was all over it. We were off. By Monte Creek, I was having serious thoughts about turning around, but I stayed the course. Perhaps it was my genuine love of driving past the vast turf farms of Westwold that spurred me on. I arrived early at the venerable watering hole with just enough time to take the edge off with a cool beverage. She arrived and I approached her. With a firm-but-not-too-firm, nonsweaty-palmed handshake, along with solid eye contact, we had both made our first impressions. She seemed cute and confident. We talked and played pool for about three hours, with the highlight of our conversation coming when I asked her if she hated men. She said no. Based on the vindictive, gruff way in which she had told me stories about the nasty male figures of her past, I wasn’t so sure. We hugged at the end of the date and left it open as to what comes next.

MARTY HASTINGS President

LONELY HEARTS CLUB

Believe it or not, she was the textmessage aggressor, despite the manhating question, but I wasn’t sold on the long-term future of the relationship. It wasn’t long before communication fizzled to a hault. I think she hated men. What’s the point of that anecdote? I don’t know if I can stretch so far as to find one, except to say that it was a worthwhile, memorable experience I don’t regret. The next online dating experience, the one I’ll end with, still leaves me

wondering what went wrong. This one started like the dates you often see played out in garbage romcoms — the horror stories. She wanted to do yoga. Having never tried the activity before, I was a bit apprehensive, but this girl . . . this girl might have had it all. There was a genuineness in her eyes, peering back at me through a laptop screen that hadn’t been cleaned in months. She seemed kind and smart — and she was a smokeshow. She was worth the risk. I arrived, early again, and was greeted by the instructor. Of course, her name was something like Raven of the Night or Shangri-La. Shangri-La took one look at me and, I kid you not, said: “Oh, you’ve never done this before, have you . . . do you know what type of yoga we’re doing

tonight? Interpretive dance yoga.” I went white. I’m up for most things, but interpretive dance yoga on a first date is too much for this guy. My date arrived — Jill, we’ll call her — and she could tell something was wrong. I explained what was happening and she apologized, saying she had no idea it was yoga-boogie night. Jill agreed we should do something else. Thank the good Lord. We walked to Tim Hortons and talked for 45 minutes straight. She lived up to her billing. There were no awkward moments and we had a meaningful conversation. She was gorgeous. We sauntered back to our vehicles, still chatting effortlessly, and we hugged. Without me asking, she said, “I feel like this went really well.” With a celebratory playing of Rock and Roll No. 2 by Gary Glitter, I drove home, believing a second date was a lock. I texted her a couple of days later and she told me her ex-boyfriend was coming back to town and she was going to give him another chance. She remained active on Match. com — yeah, that’s right, I was on that site for a bit, too — leading me to believe she was trying to let me down softly. It wasn’t total heartbreak. I know what that feels like. But, it was very tough, nonetheless. Perhaps it was karma payback for my tendency to publicly dump girls in the cafeteria in high school. The point of that first-date story? Again, it’s a stretch, but I’ll reach: You can’t win if you don’t try and, sometimes, when you put yourself out there, you get burned. I’ve heard it before a thousand times — it won’t happen if you try. Just let it happen naturally, Marty. Well, I went through a decade of not trying. That’s how you end up at Sgt. O’Flaherty’s every Valentine’s Day talking until closing time with some guy named Dean about women and how they’re evil. (I might have mistook “don’t try so hard” for “just give up on life and party for 10 years.” There’s a happy medium in there somewhere). Just know you’re not alone out there, aging single people. Have fun and keep fishin’. At least you’ll have a story or two to tell. sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Both sides need to work together The province of B.C. appears to be talking out of both sides of its mouth when it comes to education. On the one hand, Education Minister Peter Fassbender says the province can’t afford to go back to class size and composition rules that were in place prior to 2002. On the other hand, this week’s throne speech made re-engineering education to fill jobs of the future its key plank. Education is expensive. Equipment, schools and teachers are expensive. But, the investment is worth it to guarantee a prosperous economy. While it’s true that education funding has increased while enrolment has declined, it’s no less complicated, nor less expensive, to create optimal learning conditions for students in today’s environment. For example, the transition to the digital school will be necessary in the next decade, but many school districts are unprepared for that eventuality. As well, we now understand children’s learning needs are more diverse and, to ensure they get the support they need, we require skilled, motivated teachers. To achieve these goals, the province should work with the teachers for optimum class size and composition to fit resources, rather than continually opposing them.

Time to clean house during city budget time Editor: With this farce called the city budget process about to reach its final stages for 2014, it’s time for city taxpayers to seriously consider replacing the mayor and council with a new council in November that will better represent the aspirations and needs of the hardpressed taxpayers of Kamloops. The recent revelations of the high level of city-worker salaries and the recent agreement for a further five years of increases is a slap in the face to taxpayers. It is a safe bet those councilors who have their own businesses and employ staff are not so generous with their own money as they seem to be taxpayer funds. Once again we reach the stage in the process where a decision is intended to be reached — not on how it may be better to run the city,

KTW reader Douglas Beck feels council can do a much better job at reining in costs at city hall. What do you think? Send us your thoughts at editor@kamloopsthisweek.com.

but only on how much more taxpayers are to be slugged this year. Not one word is said or one argument put forward on how to control or, better still, reduce costs. Never has there been any consideration or discussion in these budget meetings as to how costs could or can be reduced to provide a more cost-effective method of operation of this city. As a result of this and previous councils continuing ineffectiveness taxpayers, many

pensioners on fixed incomes have, over the years, been faced with continually higher costs through the purchase of newer, bigger and more expensive equipment and increases in staffing levels. With the added burden of long-term imposition of staff entitlements, this year seems no different. Council continues to show its ineffectiveness in managing the city by continually agreeing to the demands (requests) of city managers to grow their departments

and award unnecessary increases without any consideration of value for money. Unlike any well-run business, which has to rely on quality and value of output for its revenue, the city workforce, as a monopoly, has no such constraints and continues to operate like any large monopoly as an overstaffed, overpaid and almost certainly inefficient organization. It is time — in fact, it is long overdue — Kamloops taxpayers had in place a more business-like council that would apply best business practices to run this city. For those not familiar with what that entails, it would require a detailed analysis and

evaluation of each task undertaken in each department. This information should be readily available if the various managers have been suitably instructed by council and have conducted their internal budget-review process effectively. Based on this anyalysis, each task should then be written up and a tendered issued internally and externally to ideally obtain at least three competitive quotes. After the tenders have been evaluated on the basis of value for money and the best interests of taxpayers and the city, a contract should be prepared and awarded to the successful bidder. An ongoing review process should be put in place to ensure the work contracted is being conducted in accordance with the contract. Douglas Beck Kamloops

What will ever become of the Canadian brand? Editor: I’m worried about the Canadian brand. What does the world think of us now? The Communications Security Establishment of Canada collects data on cellphones over wireless networks in airports. The Canadian government helped Americans spy on G20 nations, including Canadians, in Ontario at the G20 Summit in 2010. Former Conservative MP Chuck Strahl had to resign over this because he was exposed as a lobbyist for the Enbridge Northern Gateway project at the same time — and he appeared to be helping the RCMP and Enbridge spy on anti-pipeline activists. You know, the ones categorized, along with white supremacists, as terrorist orga-

nizations targeted to have their charitable status revoked by an order to Revenue Canada because they are such a threat to national security. The recent changes to Canada’s Election Act strips the agency’s powers to investigate the exact types of fraud committed by the Conservatives in the 2011 election. Data from studies by Canadian scientists have been removed from libraries and destroyed by shredding. Have you tried to apply to attend the National Energy Board hearings on Trans Mountain’s proposed tripling of the amount of diluted bitumen to flow through Kamloops? The application is almost unintelligible and they suggest using your bank passwords to allow you in to fill it out.

Oops, too late. The deadline to fill out your application has passed. Bill C-18, now before Parliament, makes it illegal for farmers to save, store, plant or sell their own seeds. The National Farmers Union has a petition on its website you can sign or print and get others to sign. How much higher can food prices go? A lot. In 2006, Stephen Harper boasted that, “You won’t recognize Canada when I’m through with it,” as reported by the National Post. Indeed, we might not. Would any of the other parties do any better? I don’t know. Let’s ask them. Penny Powers Kamloops

reactions, from falling head-over-heels into the emotion to becoming sick after your erstwhile other falls out. With that in mind and with today being Valentine’s Day — a day embraced by lovers and greeting-card companies — Kamloops This Week decided to ask the eternal question. We sent reporter Adam Williams to Ridgeview

KAITLYN BERGEN-BROWN, 5

‘Love is my husband taking care of me — and then he went and died while I was in the hospital. But, he was very loving. My girls, I’ve got three daughters, they’re taking his place. They look after me. Two of my girls are nurses, so they know the ropes.”

DAVID DRADER, 80 ‘Love is a forever. I can prove it because my wife and I have been married 80 years and we’re still in love. She’s on a cruise right now, but she writes me a letter every day and tells me how much she loves me. We were married in a flash. I spotted her and she spotted me and we will always remember [it].’

CARTER SHARP, 5 ‘Caring. Love is caring.’

SYLVIA ALLEN, 74 ‘There’s all kinds. Never having to say you’re sorry. This is on both sides, though. I think about my family. There’s so much. I’m thinking about my husband and my mother and my mother-in-law and I love them all dearly but, of course, it’s all in a little bit different way. Gee, I thought this would be so easy. Forgiving. You know, for their faults. Not trying to push them into something they don’t want to do.’

Swelling can occur for many reasons, but when swelling occurs as a direct result from damage to your lymphatic system it is called lymphedema. Lymphedema is protein rich, leads to chronic inammatory processes, and is highly susceptible to an infection called cellulitis. The most commonly recognized cases of lymphedema are related to the removal of lymph nodes as part of cancer treatment. Not all patients who have lymph nodes removed will exhibit signs or symptoms of swelling, but all will be at risk of developing lymphedema. This risk starts from the moment lymph nodes are removed and continues for life. Education is the key in understanding the process and how to prevent it. The best time to treat lymphedema is before it begins. Hi, my name is Colette Swain and if you are interested in learning more about lymphedema, (what is it, who it effects, and how to treat it), I will be offering monthly educational seminars. First meeting February 20th, 7-8pm Seminars are FREE Seating is limited, please contact me direct to reserve your seat.

To me, this comes naturally. So, be good to people and respect them and love them. Unless you get a real bad one, then you can just not get tangled up with them.”

A B.C. Supreme Court justice attempted to give a quick computer lesson this week to a man charged with first-degree murder, telling the accused that his 80-year-old mother learned on her own. “My Lord, I’ve never done a copy and paste,” Peter Beckett complained to Justice Ian Meiklem during a court hearing. Beckett, who is charged with murdering his wife and is representing himself in court, argued he has no computer skills and demanded the Crown hand over thousands of pages of disclosure to him — in paper. “I’m 57 years old,” Beckett told Meiklem. “I wasn’t schooled through the era of computerization. I’ve had no business dependent on computerization.” Crown lawyer Will

Burrows said 974 documents on a computer hard drive have been disclosed to Beckett, who is also charged with additional counts of obstructing justice and counselling to commit murder following an undercover jailhouse investigation by RCMP. Each of those documents may contain hundreds of pages, he said. “The amount of material would be overwhelming,” said the Crown lawyer. “It would be boxes and boxes that KRCC couldn’t deal with.” Beckett remains in custody at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre pending his trial. The native New Zealander is alleged to have killed his wife, Laura Letts-Beckett, 50, by pushing her off a boat at Shelter Bay, south of Revelstoke, in 2010. He was arrested a year later. Police also allege Beckett plotted to

kill five witnesses — including LettsBeckett’s parents, an RCMP sergeant and an Alberta lawyer — while behind bars. Beckett has filed at least five applications prior to his trial, a date for which has not yet been set. He’s already accused judges here of bias and is also arguing abuse of process — something that would be heard at trial. Meiklem told Beckett that case law has determined an accused person doesn’t need paper documents, but must be provided training and computer equipment — including access to the Internet for legal research — so he can conduct his own defence. While Beckett continually protested about his computer inabilities, Meiklem urged him to learn. “I have a mother in her 90th year who does these things. No one taught her [to learn] in her 80s.” Meiklem also adjourned Beckett’s bias argument indefinitely. Beckett unsuccessfully asked for an outside B.C. Supreme Court justice to hear his applications. “There’s a perception — I’m not saying you’re biased,” he told Meiklem. “I’m saying there’s a perception of bias based on past events.” Another justice hearing Beckett’s pre-trial applications agreed to let his matters go to another judge. Beckett argued that Justice Dev Dley earlier heard applications for wiretaps and may have been exposed to information he wouldn’t hear at trial. A New Zealand native, Beckett served as a town councillor in Napier from 1998 to 2001. Napier is a coastal town of about 58,000 on the east side of New Zealand’s north island, about 300 kilometres from Auckland.

Federal money for grabs, useful for Kamloops? Councillor calls it aâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;step forwardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, but doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see use for it in the Tournament Capital By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

A man whose name and face appeared in a newspaper as one of Kamloopsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; most-wanted criminals was jailed seven more days for $15 worth of marijuana. Simon Lessard pleaded guilty on Thursday, Feb. 13 to possession of a controlled substance â&#x20AC;&#x201D; .4 grams, or about $15 worth, of pot. Crown prosecutor Anthony Varesi said Lessard was arrested on an outstanding warrant on Jan. 15 after a casino guard recognized his face from the wanted ad and called police. Police found the pot after arresting and searching him. Varesi and defence lawyer Michelle Stanford made a joint submission of seven new days of jail time for Lessard, who in custody serving out the remainder of the conditional sentence order he breached. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An aggravating factor is the accused was on a conditional sentence order at the time,â&#x20AC;? Varesi said of the breach of that condition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are related drug convictions.â&#x20AC;? The 29-year-old is an unemployed painter who owned his own business.

The new plan, which replaces a previous agreement set to expire this year, sets aside $4 billion for projects of â&#x20AC;&#x153;national significanceâ&#x20AC;? and $10 billion for projects in the provinces and territories. The federal government will contribute up to half the total cost of projects dealing with provincial highways and major roads as well as public transit, while pitching in onethird for others. Bepple called the announcement a good step forward, but said the funding doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look like it will apply to some projects the city thought might be in the mix. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were hoping that it would include cultural and arts funding but, when I read through it, it says roads, subways, bridges and commuter rail and public infrastructure,â&#x20AC;? she said. During 2014 budget discussions, some of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior staffers suggested preliminary studies for a performing-arts centre â&#x20AC;&#x201D; budgeted at $260,000 and considered too costly by some on council â&#x20AC;&#x201D; could be paid for using either gas-tax or other infrastructure funds from Ottawa. Bepple said she expects to see more details released on how the funds can be used and accessed before the old Building Canada Fund expires on March 31. City finance director Sally Edwards said Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appear to have given her one piece of the puzzle sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to need before this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget is completed. Edwards wants the specific criteria the government will use to determine project eligibility. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today for locals roads, if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s repair and maintenance, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t qualify. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new construction, it qualifies,â&#x20AC;? she said. Many municipalities are hoping Ottawa will loosen some of its restrictions on how infrastructure funds can be spent as part of the new Building Canada deal. The city has left $2.3 million in funds unallocated in the 2014 budget because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waiting to see how it will be allowed to spend the money.

Car Share survey to gauge community needs STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A group of volunteers working to get a local car sharing co-op up and running want to know what kind of ride Kamloopsians would be willing to share — and where to park it. Until Feb. 24, members of Kamloops Car Share are conducting an online survey at kamloopscarshare.ca. Interim project coordinator Krystal Kehoe

said the group is hoping for 400 responses to the survey, which it will use as it prepares a business plan. “I guess we’re just looking to see if people would be interested,” Kehoe said. The group plans to run the Car Share as a non-profit co-op, which would own, insure and maintain the vehicles for its members. The co-op would also be in charge of managing the schedule

for the cars. Members would reserve time in the vehicles through an online booking. Kehoe said the survey will help Kamloops Car Share fine-tune its plans to appeal to the widest number of people. “The usage is a big one for us,” she said. “We’ve heard from people in the community that there would be interest in a truck share versus a car

share because people, even though they have a vehicle, a truck is something they need to access for various reasons.” Kehoe said the group will also look at what parts of the city responders live in, which will help them decide where the best place to keep vehicles would be. Preferred pricing and use volume are also being studied as part of the survey.

In Kamloops, the event will include five-kilometre and 10-kilometre walks, with walkers teaming up to raise money and awareness to help combat poverty and homelessness. Stan Dueck, executive director of the New Life Mission, the local organizer, said the program is about making sure those who have the greatest need get those needs met. “What we want people to see and recognize is we’re walking on a night when probably it’s going to be cool — in Kamloops, chances are it may not be ice cold, it may not even be below zero — but, the fact of the matter is, there are people that are living outside in these conditions,” Dueck said. “They’re sleeping outside in these conditions.” Dueck said the program is as much about raising money as raising awareness.

The issue of homelessness and poverty is more complicated than people not wanting to work, he said, noting there are also issues of addiction, mental illness and a lack of supports. Nationally, the goal of The Coldest Night of the Year is to raise $2.5 million. The New Life Mission is aiming to raise $50,000 in Kamloops. Last year, the second time the New Life Mission participated in the event, it raised between $22,000 and $23,000 Dueck said. Kamloops has a target of 300 participants. Captaining one of those teams is Mayor Peter Milobar. “For us, that’s just a big deal,” Dueck said of the city’s support, adding he is hoping Milobar’s challenge to council to get involved will bear fruit.

Three days in Washington, D.C. By Karoline Cullen SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com

“STOP, THIS AREA IS CLOSED.” He holds up his right hand. “Turn around. Walk away.” We take in his white shirt, dark sunglasses and severe expression. “But we’re just going through the park.” “Turn around. Walk away.” “Can’t we stand here and watch?” “No, the area is closed. Turn around. Walk away.” “You’re not going to tell us what’s going on?” “No. Turn around. Walk away.” “We can’t stand here with you and watch?” He shakes his head and steps closer, so we obediently turn and leave. He follows to ensure we don’t stroll in front of the White House today. We are disappointed, but then it’s not every day we get shooed away by a member of the Secret Service. Welcome to Washington, D.C. Gary and I are here for three days of museums, monuments and memorials. Many are on the Mall — a two-mile garden-like national park, the Washington Monument in the middle. From the park to the west lie monuments and memorials; to the east, Smithsonian Institution museums and the Capitol Building. First stop is the National Air and Space Museum. Standing by Apollo 11’s Command Module Columbia, we find the small size astounding. Something no larger than an old Volkswagen Beetle carried the first men who walked on the moon and their pilot to lunar orbit and back. John Glen’s Mercury capsule, in which he orbited Earth, is even smaller and, hanging from the ceiling above, is the Spirit of St. Louis. Down the hall is the original Wright Flyer. Gallery after gallery showcase exhibits of warplanes, passenger planes, mail planes, rockets, satellites, telescopes, a lunar landing module and an exhausting amount more. In the early 1800s, British scientist James Smithson left his immense fortune of half-million dollars to the United States. No one knows why he bequeathed such a generous gift to a country he never visited. The money was to be used to found “at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Institution, an establishment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge.” After years of heated debate in Congress, the Smithsonian was established in 1846. The Air and Space Museum is one of 19 in the Smithsonian Institution, the world’s largest museum and research complex. Whatever your interest — art, science, history, design, culture, aviation, gardens, sculpture, or animals at the National Zoo — a free museum awaits a visit. After the Air and Space Museum, we admire the curving architectural lines of the American Indian Museum and listen to chants echoing in the foyer. We pop into

the American History Museum to see the original Star Spangled Banner, Julia Child’s kitchen and Lincoln’s hat — the one he was wearing when he was assassinated. At the Natural History museum, we pass the elephant in the rotunda en route to the dinosaur exhibit and the 52-carat, deep blue Hope Diamond. We hardly have time for more — I venture you could spend a year at an exhibit a day without seeing them all. The Newseum, an airy, modern building next door to the Canadian Embassy on the Mall, is dedicated to five centuries of the gathering and reporting of news. I am moved almost to tears at several exhibits. We stand by a piece of the World Trade Center from 9/11 and browse the display for the 50th anniversary of JFK’s assassination. A staggering number of names fill the Journalists’ Memorial Wall and we study the full collection of Pulitzer Prize-winning photographs. You know those rarely feature happy events, so we take a break on the outdoor terrace and enjoy a splendid view past fluttering Canadian flags toward the Capitol Building. At the Lincoln Memorial, I feel dwarfed at the foot of the stern president sitting on his chair. My eyes follow his gaze across the tree lined reflecting pool to the WWII Memorial and the Washington Monument. The vista is much grander than television or photographs can relay. To the north is the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, a pair of black walls etched with more than 55,000 names. To the south, the statue of Martin Luther King Jr. looks across the Tidal Basin to the Jefferson Memorial. The memorials are impressive during the day, but we enjoy them more lit at night. The play of light and shadow on the facades dramatically accentuates the details. While sitting at Lincoln’s feet, we ponder if the area fronting the White House will be closed tomorrow.

Nabata sets the bar high By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

COTT NABATA became the first artistic gymnast from Kamloops to win a medal at the national senior men’s level — and he barely made it to the competition. “Mr. T [Kamloops Gymnastics and Trampoline Centre coach Hisayoshi Takahashi] phoned me during the warm-up and he said, ‘You’re competing today, so you better get to the gym,’” said Nabata, who won silver on the parallel bars at Elite Canada, a Gymnastics Canada event which wrapped up in Gatineau, Que., on Sunday, Feb. 9. “I was actually really surprised because I didn’t even know I was in the event final.” Nabata had advanced on a technicality. The top six scores from the qualifying round moved on to the final. Nabata had fallen during his routine and was outside the top six. What he didn’t know is the two competitors with the most-difficult routines also made the championship round. He raced to the venue and performed

excellently, finishing second behind Zachary Clay of Twisters Gymnastics Club of Abbotsford. The result opens up opportunities for Nabata, who was named to Team Canada’s senior B squad after the Elite event. With the Pan American Games in Toronto and the Commonwealth Games in Scotland just around the corner in July, national-squad selectors, including team director Tony Smith, will be keeping an eye on the 18-year-old from Kamloops. Nabata’s next chance to impress will come when Stanford University hosts an international competition, which runs on March 1 and March 2 at the home of the Cardinal. His selection to the Canadian teams going to the Pan Am and Commonwealth Games, along with the world championships in China in October, will depend not only on how he fares at upcoming events, but at Team Canada training camps. “It’s really just your performance throughout the year,” said Nabata, a student at Thompson Rivers University.

“I’d say my chances are pretty high right now. If there’s pretty close scores between a guy who’s 25 and a guy who’s 18, they will probably take the younger guy.” The diminutive gymnast said he is focusing mainly on parallel bars and pommel horse, knowing excelling in more than one event will improve his chances of cracking the team. Given the laundry list of injuries Nabata’s fought through, including a broken back in 2010, he is thrilled to be on the cusp of big things in only his sec-

At a time when the world’s best figure skaters are strutting their stuff on the Olympic stage, skaters from the Kamloops Skating Club are hoping to do the same at the 2014 Okanagan Region Championships in Penticton. Kamloops is sending five skaters to compete in the competition, with nearly 250 others from the Okanagan region arriving in the Peach City for the event, which runs from today (Feb. 14) to Sunday, Feb. 16. Brittany Boyd, 14, the most advanced skater with the Kamloops club, is drawing inspiration from the athletes at the Olympics as she prepares for her events on the weekend. No one inspires her more than her favourite skater, 15-year-old Yulia Lipnitskaya of Russia. “I like how confident she is and her flexibility amazes me,” Boyd said, just days after Lipnitskaya won a gold medal in the team figure skating in Sochi. “It shows me what can happen if I keep my heart set on this sport and I stay dedicated.” KSC coach Heather Ansley has seen how the world-class skaters are influencing her athletes. “It’s just such a great thing for the kids to see [the Olympics] and have that experience of knowing those Canadian skaters and

how hard they’ve worked,” Ansley said. “It’s pretty amazing.” Ansley said she and Boyd have made a few adjustments to her program throughout the season, but things are set for the competition on the weekend. The club was practising on Wednesday, Feb. 12, at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre, making final preparations the regional event. All of Kamloops’ skaters will be performing programs they have worked on throughout

the season, with one of the club’s skaters — Kathy Zhang — having just moved to Canada from China and competing in her first event. Boyd said she was excited to perform and had no worries about skating in front of the panel of judges and the rest of the Okanagan. “I don’t really get that nervous, I love to perform,” she said. “The odd time when I do get nervous, I just take a breath and relax myself — tell myself I’ve done it before — it’s not a big deal.”

Giorgia and Alice Lanzoni, along with Victoria Warner, will also compete at the event. Katiana Reaney and Molly Egli are unable to attend due to injury. The KSC coach is looking forward to watching Boyd and the rest of the club’s skaters in Penticton. “It’s all about their personal best and she’s really achieved that,” Ansley said. “She’s done really well with goal setting and working towards them.”

KYSA names new technical director Ciaran McMahon is the new technical director of the Kamloops Youth Soccer Association, replacing Tom McManus, whose contract was not renewed after the 20122013 season. “I have always been impressed by the Kamloops Blaze teams and players when I have seen them perform at various tournaments,” McMahon said. “I am looking forward to engaging further with the Kamloops soccer community.”

TOURNAMENT CAPITAL SPORTS

Most recently, McMahon served as the technical director of the Squamish Youth Soccer Association. He holds a Canadian Soccer Association (CSA) National B License and a full National Coaching Certification Program Level III Theory qualification. The new techni-

cal director is part way through completing his full CSA National A License. McMahon, whose first name is pronounced Kieran, will transition into the position in the next few months as he winds down his duties in Squamish and makes arrangements for a permanent move to the Tournament Capital.

Canadian DeLaet’s pro golf stock on the rise, with top-10 ranking in realm of possibility It’s easy to spot Graham DeLaet of Weyburn, Sask., on a PGA Tour golf course. Besides being the only Tour player with a bushy Duck Dynasty-like beard, DeLaet can be found simply by looking for the sea of Saskatchewan Roughriders and ‘Canada’ clothing among his gallery supporters. In West Coast tour stops such as San Diego and Phoenix, DeLaet’s fans had plenty to cheer about. The fifth-year Tour player had back-toback runner-up finishes, earning him in the neighbourhood of $900,000 and solidifying his status as not only Canada’s best professional golfer but one of the world’s best. His world ranking is now in the mid-20s and by the end of this season, few will be surprised if the 32-year-old Canuck is in the top 10. “Let’s see,” mused Ryan Lavner of golfchannel.com after the golfer’s runner-up finish at Phoenix. “Graham DeLaet’s last four starts read as follows – T7-T6-T2-T2 – and he ranks inside the top 10 in every important statistical category. If he doesn’t win by June, it’ll

be a massive upset.” After a sensational finish to the 2013 season, when he had back-to-back top-five finishes in the first two Fed-Ex Cup BRUCE PENTON playoff tourneys, From and then a ‘Hello PRESS ROW World’-type showing in the President’s Cup, DeLaet’s career is definitely on the upswing. His Official World Golf Ranking status means he is eligible to compete in the four majors this season, as well as the World Golf Championship events, high-money tournaments that open the door to even more world-ranking point opportunities. “I have been playing well for the last few months,” DeLaet told the Associated Press. “I really feel like I worked super hard in the off-season. It’s nice to see it paying off.”

DeLaet will drive down Magnolia Lane in Augusta, Ga., this April and likely not contend for the title. Only once has a Masters’ rookie (Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979) ever won the season’s first major. But, getting his foot in the door at the Masters, and continuing to move up in the world rankings will bode well for DeLaet as he seeks to become No. 1 in the world, definitely not a farfetched goal.

Storm chase title There are four teams jostling for the regular-season Kootenay International Junior Hockey League title, one of which is the Kamloops Storm, who sit atop the standings with 77 points. On the Storm’s tail are the Nelson Leafs, with 75 points,

the Beaver Valley Nitehawks, 73, and the Creston Valley Thunder Cats, 72. Kamloops, which has five games remaining, is in Revelstoke tonight (Feb. 14) to play the Grizzlies. The rematch will be held at McArthur

Island Sport and Event Centre on Saturday, Feb. 15. Game time is 7 p.m. Revelstoke sits in the KIJHL cellar with 20 points. The Storm have already clinched the Okanagan-Shuswap Conference title.

Blazers renew rivalry The first of two WHL games this weekend at Interior Savings Centre will be contested between the Kamloops Blazers and the Portland Winterhawks. Game time tonight (Feb. 14) is 7 p.m. The rivalry is not what it has been in recent years, with Kamloops languishing in last place in the Western Conference while Portland chases the first-place Kelowna Rockets and fends off the third-place Victoria Royals. Tonight’s stop in Kamloops is the third of four straight road games for the Winterhawks, who are coming off

back-to-back wins over the Cougars in Prince George. Portland caps the trip with a visit to Vancouver to play the Giants on Saturday, Feb. 15. The Blazers are hosting the Cougars on Saturday, with game time set for 7 p.m. Kamloops is mired in a 10-game losing streak, with its last victory coming against lowly Lethbridge at ISC on Jan. 22. Due to a rash of injuries on the front end, the Blazers have called up forward Mitch Friesen, who had been playing with the junior B Kamloops Storm.

SHARP SHANK Josh Shank of the North Kamloops Lions makes a stop against the hometown Vernon Vipers on the weekend in a midget tier 1 Okanagan Mainline Amateur Hockey Association playoff matchup. The third and deciding game of the series will be played at Memorial Arena on Saturday, Feb. 15. Game time is 5:30 p.m. For more information on upcoming minor hockey games, go online to kamloopsminorhockey.com. Roger Tepper Photo

JRDN finds sunshine in music By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Ralph Jordon Croucher knew what he wanted with his life — play basketball. The Halifax native was good at it, too, with his team at St. Francis Xavier University winning the Canadian Interuniversity Sports championships in 2000 and 2001. Croucher made the Canadian national team and eventually went pro, joining a team in France. He loved basketball, Croucher said — but there was this other love, one that was sparked by a song he heard when he was 11 years old and playing one of his older brother’s CDs. It was In My Lifetime, Volume 1, by the artist known as Babyface. The song was Sunshine. “I just fell in love with it,” Croucher said. “It was so comforting. I was just starting to get into music and I learned the whole CD.” He’d sing Sunshine all the time, he said, and family and friends noticed. “They’d tell me ‘You’ve got a nice voice.’ “This was fun,” he said. Eventually, it was more than fun. It was what called out to him, even as he was shooting hoops and winning titles. “Basketball started to lose out to my first love,” he said — and JRDN was born. As with many wannabe singers, Croucher tried out for Canadian Idol, which gained him television exposure. Producers came knowing and, in 2007, he was working with fellow Maritimer Luke Boyd, who the music world knows as Classified. Boyd produced Croucher’s debut, No Dress Code, which led to him winning the CBC Galaxie Rising Star prize, a nomination for best urban single in the East Coast Music Awards, a tour

with Classified and an opening-act gig for tours with Ne-Yo, Snoop Dogg, Rihanna, Nas and Juelz Santana. This year, he’s opening for Hedley on a bill that includes Danny Fernandes and Allyssa Reid. That tour lands in Kamloops at Interior Savings Centre on Sunday, Feb. 16. For the most part, Croucher said he does his own songs, something that isn’t always easy but “there’s no wrong or right way to songwrite,” he said.

“With me, it’s always a work in progress.” He does other songwriters’ works as well, Croucher said — but there’s one song he hasn’t covered yet. “I’ve been wanting to do Sunshine,” he said. “I just haven’t been able to yet.” Tickets for the show range in price from $34.50 to $64.50, plus taxes and service charges. Tickets are available online at livenation. com, by phone at 1-855-985-5000 or at all Ticketmaster locations.

Survey says — Louie’s coming

Comedian Louie Anderson is heading to Kamloops for a show on Friday, April 25, at Sagebrush Theatre. His career started in 1984, with an appearance on The Tonight Show in November. He was originally cast to play opposite Bronson Pinchot in the ABC sit-com Perfect Strangers but studio boss-

felt the pair didn’t quite work, with Anderson replaced by Mark LinnBaker. Anderson moved on, appearing on television (The Jim Henson Hour) and in movies (Coming to America). In 1995, he created an animated series loosely based on his life. It won two Emmy Awards for outstanding performer in an animated program. After that came The Louie Show, where he played a psychotherapist. This one wasn’t

as successful and was cancelled after six episodes. Next up was along a three-year run as host of Family Feud and, since then, he’s appeared in a variety of television shows. Tickets are at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kamloopslive.ca.

What’s black and white and worn in class? By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The things you can learn in a sewing and textile design class. Like many a rosette or a large petalled flower — from newspapers. How about a wide belt — from magazine pages? Teams of students in the South Kamloops secondary class have been doing this and more, creating dresses and accessories they will model at Trashion Fashion At Its Best, a fashion show they’ll share with students on Monday, Feb. 17. Teacher Holly Adkins said she got the idea from a colleague at Valleyview secondary. While it’s miles away from how her own home-economics classes were run when she was a teenager, Adkins said the lessons being learned are as varied as the designs being created. “They’re learning about creativity and teamwork and reusing materials,” Adkins said. Using newspapers and magazines also helped with the design process itself, she said, because it’s a lot easier — and cheaper

Student Julia Mercuri said it’s been a bit of a challenge working with the unique materials, figuring out how best to fold, bend,

staple or tape them to end up with something that will be wearable — for at least the length of the show. Cassie Rigler, the

creator of the floral additions fellow student Simone Collier will model, said it was fun figuring out how to see her idea through

to being stapled to the bodice of the dress. Adkins said she’s learned a lot as well, “because these girls all know more about fash-

ion than me.” As part of the show, the groups will write a commentary on their outfits and one of them will talk about it.

ED NITCHIE

ANDERSON

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Ed Nitchie on February 8 at Royal Inland Hospital after a short and courageous battle with cancer. He was 68. He is survived by his daughter Rhonda and granddaughter Carly, his siblings Shirley Nitchie, Barb Clark (Don), niece Shauna Clark (Chris) and nephew Michael Clark (Sarah). Predeceased by his parents Win and Fred Nitchie

July 28, 1963 - February 8, 2014

(Catherine) Vivienne Anderson was born to Frederick Piaggio and Evelyn Winwood in Vancouver on October 1, 1925. “Viv” married Walter Anderson on November 30, 1950.

Ed worked for Cooper Market for many years and then moved on to installing pools in the Kamloops area. During his retirement years he stayed busy with yard maintenance. Family was an important part of his life and he loved spending time with Rhonda and Carly over Sunday dinners, or at Niskonlith Lake in the summer with family and friends. All that knew Ed will be saddened by his passing, but can be thankful for all the memories that he has left for each of us to treasure. May he look down on us all, and give us the strength that is needed today, tomorrow and always.

Vivienne and Walter lived their entire married life on the same street, Lanark St., in south Vancouver. Only moving once, directly across the street, to a newer home.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

She is predeceased by Walter and her only sibling, Ivan Wheatley. She will be dearly missed by her son John (Teresa) grandchildren Erika and Katie, and son Edwin (Linda) grandchildren Kerry, Kyle and many relatives and friends.

A private memorial service will be arranged at a later date. We would also like to thank Dr. Schumacher, Dr. Gorman and the nursing staff on 6 South of RIH for all their hard work.

ALEXANDER LUBIN March 25, 1924 February 7, 2014

(JACQUELINE) DENISE ANDERSON

Walter died on July 2, 1991. A few years later she moved to Kamloops to Cottonwood Manor. Then when she required a little more help, she moved to The Hamlets when it first opened. Her health rapidly started to worsen in early Sept. 2013, she entered hospital and was never able to return to her home. She died on Wednesday morning January 22, 2014 at the age of 88, a long life!

Celebration of Life to be held on Friday February 21, 2014 at the Hamlets in Westsyde from 2-4 p.m.

On February 8, after a three and a half year battle with cancer, Denise is now at peace. At her side through this were her amazing husband, Graeme (Evans), and her two wonderful girls, Dayna and Kaylene. Denise is also survived by her mother Irene, three brothers and two sisters (Vancouver). Denise’s passion in life was always her family and helping others, such as endless hours of volunteering at Summit Elementary where her children attended, fundraising, organizing popcorn days, field trips, as well as creating the annual year book. Denise also was an avid foster parent for the Kamloops SPCA. We would like to thank the people who were there for Denise, including but not limited to, Dr. Gabriel, and Dr. Thomasse, all of the nurses at the cancer clinic as well as the hospice. Also to all of her good friends and family. A special thanks for Lori. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Kamloops Hospice. A service date will be announced to friends and family.

KEN FOWLES June 12, 1943 ~ February 6, 2014

After a lengthy struggle, in the early hours of February 6, 2014, Kenneth Cyril Fowles took his final journey home. Surrounded by his loving family, Ken peacefully passed in his sleep at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House. Ken was born on June 12th, 1943 to Edna and Slim Fowles. He was predeceased by both of his parents, and his sister Marion. Ken attended Kamloops Senior Secondary School, and went on to become a plumber/pipefitter. This took him on many travels across most of Western Canada. Later in his life, he decided to shift careers and work in security. Ken was a humorous and gentle man that made lasting friendships wherever he went, no matter what he was doing.

The family of Alexander Lubin announce his passing on February 7, 2014 at Overlander Extended Care facility. A memorial service will be announced at a later date in the spring.

Ken’s life was changed forever when he met Stephanie in 1959. They were good friends until they married in July of 1966. Ken and Stephanie built an incredible life together in Kamloops with their 4 children and numerous friends and family. In 1986, Ken helped Stephanie fulfill her dreams of owning and operating her own daycare in Westsyde and, between the two of them, they became very well-known pillars of the community. Ken couldn’t go anywhere without stopping to visit or wave a friendly hello. Always eager to help he, with the help of my mom, built a legacy not soon to be forgotten. Ken is survived by his beautiful wife, Stephanie, his children Blair Fowles, Glen Fowles (Rochelle), Kerri Duplessis (Jody), and daughter Kym Fowles. Ken had 5 incredible grandchildren, Jordan, Brayden, Easton, Gavin and Raegan, and three step grandchildren, Kyli, Kirsten and Dayton. He is also survived by many nieces, nephews, family and friends. Ken was dedicated to his family and shared a unique and long lasting relationship that was a true display of what real love was all about. Ken had many hobbies and interests throughout his lifetime. He was an avid fisherman in his younger days, loved the thrill of fast cars and motorcycles, and was very artistic and creative. He was a handy man and could fix, or build, almost anything. He took up ballroom dancing where he met many lasting friends, and was always up to watch his children play their sports, or participate in any of the events he could. He did the very same for his grandchildren. He loved music of all sorts, and found a passion for cooking as his family grew. He loved to travel roads mostly untraveled in his Lincoln. Ken will be lovingly remembered as a true gift of love to all that he met. He was very kind and generous and could always bring a smile to a person’s face. A Celebration of Ken’s Life will be held on Saturday, February 15th, at 2:00pm in the Westsyde Baptist Church – 2833 Westsyde Road. In lieu of flowers, a donation in Ken’s name to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House would be greatly appreciated.

HAZEL CAMERON THOMPSON May 21, 1927 – January 25, 2014 Hazel Cameron Thompson (nee Blaik) of Kamloops passed away on January 25, 2014 She will be lovingly remembered by her children Ron (Susan) of Kamloops, Susan Willson of Kamloops, Michael (Rebecca) of Columbus, Ohio, grandchildren Robert, Michael, David, Wendy, Jennifer, Meghan, Alan and Ashlee, great grandchildren Mila-Jean, Jacob, Joshua, Matthew, Brianna and Autumn. Hazel will also be remembered by Several cousins in Edinburgh and the Isle of Man. She was predeceased by her husband Bob, her sister June, mother Isabel, stepfather Tom and father David. Hazel, the youngest daughter of Isabel and David Blaik, was born on a family vacation in Chettingham England. She was raised in Edinburgh, Scotland attending St. Margaret’s Boarding School in Stirlingshire until the war forced its closure and a return to school in Edinburgh. In 1946 Hazel immigrated to Canada to marry her war-time sweetheart Bob, who had served with the RCAF in Edinburgh and was now employed with the Bank of Toronto in Glenavon Sask. After transferring to Regina, the raising of three children was interrupted by Hazel’s battle, on three separate occasions, with cancer. With the cancer in remission the family transferred to Winnipeg, where Hazel obtained employment as secretary with the School Division. This employment led to a term as the Union President for the School Division support staff. Relocating in 1993 to Penticton BC was the answer to Hazel’s desire to escape the Prairie winters. Bob’s death, after 50 years of marriage, saw Hazel attending grief counseling, which served her well as she went on to spend 10 years volunteering with Penticton Hospice. In 2008 Hazel, with her beloved doggie Brandy, moved to be closer to her family settling in Berwick On The Park, a retirement community in Kamloops where she enjoyed many close friendships. Hazel enjoyed the finer things in life. Together with Bob she travelled extensively through-out Europe, the U.S., and Canada. Hazel had many great friends that she made and kept through-out her life. She was an avid bridge player, and latterly spent countless hours reading her books or playing games on her computer. The family would like to extend their sincere Thanks to Dana and the staff at Ridgeview Lodge for their warm welcome to Hazel in January 2014 and for making her last 19 days as comfortable as possible. A family graveside service will take place in the spring in Penticton, BC. Donations may be made in Hazel’s memory to: The Canadian Cancer Society, HOSPICE, OR the S.P.C.A.

Many years he could be found shing with his loyal companion and scouter ‘Boots’ . He was known to many as “Smoke”, a nickname given to Jim by friends for his ability to drive a golf ball an accurate distance. Jim was a dedicated fan.

TO ALL PARENTS ... By Edgar Guest

“I’ll lend you for a little time A child of Mine” He said, “For you to love while he lives, And mourn when he is dead. It may be six or seven years, Or twenty-two or three, But will you, till I call him back Take care of him for Me? He’ll bring his charms to gladden you, And should his stay be brief, You’ll have his lovely memories As solace for your grief. I cannot promise he will stay Since all from earth return, But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn. I’ve looked the wide world over In my search for teachers true, And from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes I have selected you. Now will you give him all your love, Nor think the labour vain, Not hate Me when I come To call and take him back again? I fancied that I heard them say Dear Lord, Thy will be done. For all the joy this child shall bring, The risk of grief we’ll run. We’ll shelter him with tenderness. We’ll love him while we may, And for the happiness we’ve known Forever grateful stay. And should the angels call for him Much sooner than we’d planned, We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes And try to understand.
