Will riding the bus cost more? By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

CJ FOWLER

DAMIEN TAYLOR

Court date for accused in teen girl’s murder A preliminary hearing has been set for the man accused of killing teenager CJ Fowler. Damien Taylor is charged with second-degree murder in the 2012 death of 16-year-old Fowler, whose body was found in Guerin Creek near downtown Kamloops on Dec. 5, 2012. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for 10 days, beginning on Sept. 22. Police have said Fowler and Taylor had been involved in a dating relationship at the time and had travelled together from Terrace, where they lived, to Kamloops. The two had been in Kamloops visiting friends and police believe Fowler was planning to return to Terrace prior to her death. Taylor, 22, was arrested after an RCMP investigation that lasted more than a year. On Jan. 10, Mounties took him into custody in Kelowna, where he had been living.

Speak up

The cost of a bus ride in Kamloops could be on its way up. At its spring workshop today (May 6), city council will examine a fare review from BC Transit that shows fare prices in the Tournament Capital are lower than average for communities of similar size, and “may not be capturing the optimum level of revenue per passenger.” A single cash fare in Kamloops is $2.25 but, across other Tier 1 communities — which include Kelowna, Whistler, Prince George and Nanaimo — the average single fare is $2.40. Monthly passes are also about $7 more expensive on average in those communities. The report offers two new fare configurations the city could adopt if it wants to raise fares, though both would likely lead to a decline in the number of bus trips taken per year. Option one would raise all cash fares to $2.25, phasing out the city’s $1.75 seniors’ discount fare. Day and monthly pass rates would not change and seniors would still pay less

than other riders for books of bus tickets and monthly passes under the new system. BC Transit said a flat-cash fare means bus drivers don’t have to worry about enforcing age restrictions on discounts, or deal with fare disputes that may occur as a result. Though BC Transit estimates the move could decrease ridership numbers in Kamloops by 30,200, the report notes other communities using a single cashfare model have seen an increase in rides. In Victoria, ridership is up 4.5 per cent, the report notes, “possibly in part due to the fact that system users will be encouraged to buy prepaid fare products, and prepaid products tend to encourage more frequent ridership.” The change would bring in an estimated extra $71,000 annually. A second possible fare hike would retain the seniors’ discount for riders pay-

ing in cash, but increase the cost of all other fare types. The increase would see riders paying $2.50 per trip in cash (or $2.25 for seniors), $60 per month for passes instead of $53 and $6.25 for a regular day pass instead of $5. Though monthly passes are more expensive, BC Transit argues the new rate structure makes them a better deal. “Under the present fare structure, adult passengers must take at least 31 trips to want to buy a monthly pass,” the report says. With the increased cash fare, the number of trips needed to justify buying a monthly pass drops to 27. The package of fare increases would bring in $289,700 more for the city per year, but could also lead to 137,100 fewer rides per year. BC Transit is also recommending a HandyDART fare increase. Option one would raise custom transit fares by 25 cents, while option two would increase them by 50 cents. Council won’t make any final decisions about fare structures at today’s workshop, but could choose to ask staff to look more closely at BC Transit’s suggestions and come back with a fare hike at a later date.

THEY CAME IN PEACE The causes were many for those who took part in the 39th annual Kamloops Walk for Peace, Social Justice and the Environment, which took off from the Kamloops Farner’s Market on Saturday, May 3. From the proposed Ajax mine to the political situation in Venezuela to policies espoused by Prime Minister Stephen Harper, participants took aim at a variety of subjects. As usual, the walk was colourful (right) as demonstrated by Kate Wiebe and Emma Cote. Allen Douglas/KTW

City urged to follow Nanaimo’s nuisance-home lead By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Before the home went up in flames in January, neighbours on Westmount Drive sometimes referred to the green stuccocovered house as “the crack shack” — for exactly reasons the name suggests. One neighbour said issues related to the home were so frequent she wouldn’t have been surprised if one of her fellow residents had set the fire. Across the river, residents of West Seymour Street downtown were similarly relieved when their neighbourhood’s problem sixplex caught fire, bringing an end to years of break-ins, bad behaviour and an increased police presence on the street. But, trial by fire aside, problem properties often exist in a legal grey area. Kamloops RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller said while certain homes may generate numerous complaints related to drug activity, noise, prostitution concerns or other neighbourhood irritants, they may not meet the threshold at which police can take legal action. A group of residents headed to council

today (May 6) wants the city step up its efforts to quash nuisance homes by adopting an approach at work in another B.C. community. In her application to appear before council, resident Joanne Forde said she wants to see the city follow in the footsteps of Nanaimo. Since 2003, nuisance properties have been tackled by a City of Nanaimo committee that includes representatives from bylaw services, the RCMP, BC Hydro, Ministry of Children and Family Services and others. Kamloops community-safety manager Jon Wilson, who is already investigating the Nanaimo strategy, told Kamloops’ co-ordinated enforcement committee last month the Nanaimo committee looks at the number of calls made to police and emergency responders because of the property. “It’s not so much that the RCMP knows this activity is going on in the house, so much as complaints from the neighbourhood,” he said. If the committee determines a property is a problem, it assigns a bylaws officer and a Mountie to the file. Property owners are encouraged to work

with the pair to try to fix the problems. “A significant number of these properties, it comes down to poor property management,” Wilson said, noting that, by educating property owners, the City of Nanaimo resolves most of its issues. But, he added, in cases where problems persist, the committee has an option to ask city council to declare the property a nuisance — and begin charging its owner for all non-essential calls previously made to emergency services. Wilson said Nanaimo deals with 30 to 40 cases a year, covering residential, commercial and industrial properties. Only about two per year will go to city council. “It’s a very, very good program for us to be looking at,” Wilson said, but he cautioned the program is also labour-intensive to set up and operate. Mueller said Kamloops RCMP is supportive of moving to a Nanaimo-type model. “It gives us a nice tool to be able to use on those properties that don’t meet the threshold on the criminal side that we don’t maybe have alternatives to deal with,” he said.

Trustees to talk wages on May 12 Kamloops-Thompson school district trustees will be discussing a new wage policy at their next school-board meeting on May 12 at Haldane elementary in Chase. The remuneration revision being suggested by policy-committee chairman Gerald Watson would involve a formula based on salaries paid to exempt staff, teachers and support staff to determine any increase to the amount now paid to trustees. Trustees receive $18,083, the board vice-chair is paid $19,083 and the chair receives $20,083. That amount has been in place since July 1, 2009. The revision would see the rates increase every July 1, based on a weighted formula dependent on any increase or decrease to the three employee groups of exempt staff, principals and viceprincipals, teachers and support staff.

Kamloops Liberal MLAs ready to face Horgan By Dale Bass and Cam Fortems

STAFF REPORTERS

Kamloops Liberal MLAs are looking forward to facing the new provincial NDP leader, while New Democrat members say John Horgan will be a formidable opponent who will help shed the party’s antidevelopment image. On Monday, May 5, Horgan sat in the legislature for the first time as party leader. First elected in 1995, he was acclaimed leader of the B.C. New Democrats this month following resignation of Adrian Dix. Rival MLAs and senior government ministers Todd Stone and Terry Lake said they like Horgan personally, but added the party faces challenges. Stone, MLA for Kamloops-South Thompson, called Horgan “a principled, very direct person with a quick wit — a formidable opponent.” Stone noted, however, Horgan takes over a divided party and he wonders how the new leader and Juan de Fuca MLA will bring together the environment- and resourced-focused factions. Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake said Horgan is “a good guy,” but agreed

with Stone’s sentiment. “He has a got a heck of a challenge ahead of him to bring his party together,” Lake said, noting he applauds anyone willing to take on the leadership of a political party. Kamloops New Democrats welcomed Horgan’s leadership, saying he provides a balance on resource development issues between environment and untrammelled development. Peter Northcott, Kamloops-Thompson NDP president, said Horgan exposed the B.C. Liberals on hidden BC Hydro rate hikes and is a credible voice on LNG development. “LNG, depending on who you talk to, is the solution to all of our ills or to be feared because of the impact on our environment and how it skews our economy.” Tom Friedman, a former candidate who is on the local executive, said he supported Horgan when he ran in the previous leadership contest against Dix and Mike Farnworth. “I think he understands what the regions of B.C. are all about,” Friedman said. “From speaking to him about fracking, for example, I believe he wants to go slow and make sure it’s done correctly.”

Speaking to reporters after a tour of the Western Stevedoring port in North Vancouver, Horgan repeated his waitand-see position on the proposed expansion of the TransMountain oil pipeline from Alberta to Burnaby, and emphasized his support for liquefied natural gas development. He said the B.C. Liberal government has placed too much emphasis on LNG exports,

arguing it has been “giving away” the province’s natural resources. “For the past 12 years, the B.C. Liberals have seen a decrease in value from our resources coming back to the Crown, which means less financial resources for health care, for education and vital social programs,” Horgan said. “We need to change that. New Democrats historically have talked

quit the party in April over its performance in the 2013 election. Asked about the acclamation of Horgan after veteran MLA Mike Farnworth dropped out of the leadership, Clark said having a vigorous debate over leadership is “a sign of a healthy party. “I wish him luck,” Clark said. “It’s easier to go through unopposed, but I don’t know if it helps you.”

Sandman on Lorne not yet ready to open By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The owner of the Sandman Signature Hotel on Lorne Street has told the city it won’t be seeking occupancy permits for the long-delayed hotel until the end of the month. “They may apply just for the Shark Club first, so they can get their staff in there so they can train them,” chief building inspector Kundan Bubbar said. “But, for the main part of the hotel, it will probably be the third or fourth week of this month.” While there were reports the hotel wanted to open last week, Bubbar said developer Northland Properties is still working through some safety concerns flagged by the city. It is also finishing up work in and outside the hotel. Bubbar said when he was last inside the Sandman two weeks ago, there remained work to be done. “They were still working on the main floor hallway and bed-

rooms area and they were not ready,” he told KTW. “They were working outside in the parking lot. They were working on the exteriors and the exterior finish on the front.” The hotel’s landscaping is also incomplete, but Bubbar said the city won’t make flowers and trees a requirement for occupancy permits. Of more concern are the stairs leading to the hotel’s front entrance, which Bubbar said don’t meet the B.C. building code. “The steps are not deep enough and the rise on the step is not consistent on each step,” he said. “They vary. It has to be within five millimetres, a quarter of an inch, because otherwise people can trip on them.” Bubbar said the company can ask for a partial-occupancy permit if it designates its parking-lot entrance as its main entrance, but Northland will have to show the city it can get everyone out of the building safely. The front stairs would also

have to be blocked off. Northland Properties also has to finish burying part of the building’s basement level in order to bring the building in line with the six-storey height restriction imposed by the city. “If you stand on the front on the Lorne Street side and you start counting from the top down, you will count a seven-storey building right now,” Bubbar said. To combat the issue, the developer is building retaining walls and will backfill much of the exposed basement. Once those issues are dealt with, the building’s engineers, architect and other professionals will complete a final report on the hotel to submit to the city. Bubbar’s team will review those documents and conduct a final inspection before deciding whether to issue permits. The hotel has been under construction since 2011. A representative from Northland Properties did not respond to a request from KTW for comment.

Strike mandate as Casino brings traffic concerns no new talks planned By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

With a 96 per cent strike mandate, the province’s health-care workers are hoping to see progress at the bargaining table — if talks that broke off in March begin again. Any job action would involve more than 1,000 workers in the Kamloops district, most of them members of the Health Employees’ Union and the Canadian Union of Public Employees. Affected jobs would include care aides, ambulance paramedics, healthrecords staff, lab and other diagnostic specialists, emergency dispatchers, nursing-unit clerks, maintenance staff, admitting and booking clerks, cleaning and dietary staff and rehabilitation assistants. Michaela Swan, a communications officer with the Interior Health Authority, said predetermined

essential-service levels are in place to ensure patients and residents receive the services they need. “These essential service levels do apply for acute and community-care services,” Swan said. The contract with the Health Employers Association of B.C. (HEABC) expired on March 31. Talks had begun in January, but ended in March. No new meetings are scheduled, although a spokesman for HEABC has said efforts will be made in coming days to start again. Key issues for the 11 unions that form the Facilities Bargaining Association are employment security, protecting existing benefits and improving health and safety provisions. The association also wants changes to ambulance service that would improve paramedics’ abilities to provide patient care.

TIB chief praises Atleo’s decision Gottfriedson: ‘Big shoes to fill’ By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Tk’emlups Indian Band Chief Shane Gottfriedson praised Sean Atleo for stepping down as National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations (AFN). Gottfriedson said Atleo “put our people first” when he announced on Friday, May 2, he was resigning the post after his support for the federal government’s planned changes to education on reserves cause a rift in the AFN. Many AFN members are opposed to the federal Conservative plan that the government said aims to give First Nations more control over their edu-

cation systems. AFN members say there has been insufficient consultation. Gottfriedson said the planned changes are “paternalistic.” Aboriginal Affairs Minister Bernard Valcourt has said receiving Atleo’s support of the proposals is sufficient to move forward with what

many chiefs have said is inadequate funding to provide proper education. The bill allocates $1.25 billion of new funding over three years for aboriginal education, beginning in two years. Gottfriedson called Atleo “a great guy who has done a wonderful job as national chief.” He wouldn’t speculate on any successors. “But, a lot of characters will start popping up,” Gottfriedson said. “They have big shoes to fill. “The past national leaders have always been very prominent and great leaders. “It’s going to be a challenge.”

The news is too recent to have come up at a meeting of the Aberdeen Neighbourhood Association, but the group’s spokeswoman believes it is likely members will want to weigh in on Gateway Casinos and Entertainment’s plan to build a new Vegas-style casino at Versatile and Hugh Allen drives. The company announced last week it plans move its Victoria Street casino to the site of the former Rona store in Versatile, between Aberdeen and Pineview Valley. The new location would act as an entertainment venue, according to Gateway CEO Tony Santo, with a 500-seat amphitheatre and multiple food and beverage options, in addition to its gambling facilities. “That’s the sort of develop-

ment that we would maybe like to have a voice on,” Aberdeen Neighbourhood Association spokeswoman Helen Newmarch said. Newmarch said she’s not sure what concerns the neighbourhood association might have at this stage, but traffic seems like an obvious issue to her. “Rona didn’t bring so much traffic, but certainly Costco has,” she said. “That whole intersection when you’re coming off the highway and trying to get onto Pacific Way, you can’t make a left-hand turn there with all the traffic going to Costco.” Should the city allow the casino to move into the space, Newmarch thinks the intersection will need some work. “There are days when it’s impossible,” she said. “You almost have to make a right turn and turn around at

Roche Lake hit hard by winterkill

CUT DOWN YOUR POWER BILL

By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

One of B.C.’s premier fishing lakes has been hit hard by a combination of low oxygen and high nutrient levels, leading to a mass die off known as winterkill. While the phenomenon is not uncommon in the Interior, a combination of factors has hit Roche Lake this year, leading to speculation 10 to 15 per cent of its stocks were hit. “It appears one arm suffered a fairly significant kill,” said Steve Maricle, senior fish biologist with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. “I don’t think we’ve seen a kill like this in 40 years.” Roche Lake is located off Highway 5A, between Kamloops and Merritt. While stressing the information is preliminary, Maricle said early estimates place winterkill between 1,000 and 1,500 rainbow trout. The lake — what Maricle called the premier small lake in the region and one of the top three in B.C. — is thought to be home to about 10,000 of the prized trout. One of the best indicators of winterkill is the large number of eagles that have congregated at the lake to eat the dead fish.

Ice locks up lakes from receiving fresh oxygen and a thick blanket of snow blocks the sun, preventing submerged vegetation from undergoing photosynthesis and producing oxygen as a byproduct. Making it worse was a flush during the last several years of nutrients from upland soils due to mountain pine-beetle devastation and an inability of dead

trees to retain those nutrients. That flush to the lake causes algae blooms, which, when they decompose, use up valuable oxygen. Also hit were nearby smaller lakes, including Bullman and Ernest. Popular Roche Lake resort opened on May 1. Owner Lauren Wilson said she hasn’t seen fish carcasses this week, but was updated on oxygen conditions earlier this winter, along with estimates by fisheries biologists. “Definitely there was winterkill,” she said. “We’ve never seen it before.” Wilson said the most recent estimates from provincial fisheries, along with reports from anglers, have alleviated much of her concern about numbers in the popular lake. Maricle said he will be out this month checking other regional lakes as winterkill is also suspected at Red Lake northwest of Kamloops. The fisheries branch does some aeration to add oxygen to lakes, but the technique has limits. Another tool is the ability to stock hardhit lakes with mature, catchable trout that can grow to two to three pounds by the fall. “We can recover fisheries quite well,” Maricle said. “Next year, they can be up to four pounds.”

Gateway’s gamble will result in stunning new casino

HE ONLY DOWNSIDE I can see is that it is not a venue to which one can come across by chance while enjoying an evening walk. Other than that, Gateway Casinos and Entertainment’s plans for a new casino in Kamloops are truly impressive. As was expected for several weeks, Gateway has purchased the former Rona site in the industrial area between Aberdeen and Pineview Valley — the area is actually called Versatile and includes Costco, some hotels, a truck stop and various commercial businesses. While Gateway will hold publicinformation meetings next week in the former Rona building at Versatile and Hugh Allan drives, and while the city must first hold a public hearing to consider the rezoning required to allow a casino to open on the property, it is difficult to envision why there would be much opposition from the public. The proposed casino is nowhere near enough to any residential areas to create problems, while its non-pedestrian-friendly location (which is the opposite of its current location downtown) means it will be a destination casino, likely with many shuttles to and from various hotels in Kamloops. That Gateway bought the Rona property for many millions with no guarantee it will succeed in gaining city approval for a casino speaks to the slam-dunk certainty of this plan. The company wants to move from its 14,000-square-foot home in Hotel 540 downtown to a $34-milion, 50,000-square-foot casino in the

MUSINGS

former Rona building. What is now Lake City Casino will become Cascades Casino and, if Gateway’s plans come to fruition, the new casino will resemble nothing of the former gambling den. The proposal is striking. It will be more than four times larger than the current casino. The venue will feature a 500-seat amphitheatre at which all sorts of entertainment will be presented. It will include restaurants, including the new Match Eatery and Public House the company is rolling out in its casinos. The move forward comes four years after Gateway shelved multimillion-dollar plans to triple in size its downtown casino and three years after the company spent about $1.5 million on new carpeting and wall treatment, the addition of a secure and heated smoking area, new slot stools and a new electronic version of roulette. The company said it will also offer new gambling options at the Rona site, though CEO Tony Santo said those options will not be revealed

until design plans and B.C. Lottery Corporation approval is granted. Here’s hoping a new $34-million casino in the city that boasts the headquarters of the BCLC has the good sense to include a poker room. If the number of private games throughout the Tournament Capital are any indication, one would think a poker room in the casino would be a busy place. Top it off with a sports book. Why not? The provincial government already has a full-fledged sports book online, one that varies not a bit from any book one can visit in Nevada. Why can’t it bring the web-gambling feature to real life for those who prefer to lay a wager with a human being, away from the sterility of cyberspace? There may be concerns raised at ucoming meetings, among them the expansion of gambling and its effect on those facing addiction. There will definitely be concerns about increased traffic in the area of the proposed new casino. As it is now, there are times during the day when traffic leaving Highway 1 cannot make a left turn onto Hugh Allan Drive without risking the lives of many. Those who approved that intersection, so close as it is to the intersections of High Allan and Pacific Way and High Allan and Versatile, should be ridiculed — then forced to singlehandedly install traffic lights and/ or redesign the area before the new casino opens. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

Revoke teen’s driving licence B.C. has some reasonably tough fines and penalties in effect for excessive speeding and driving without due care and attention. However, for an Abbotsford 17-year-old and some of his pals, those laws are obviously not near harsh enough. This particular young man was caught doing 133 km/h in a 60 km/h zone on April 26. He got a ticket for excessive speeding, which ranges between $368 and $483. His ride — the family’s Chrysler 300 — was also impounded for seven days. For most young drivers, those penalties — in addition to whatever was handed out by the parents — would deliver enough sting to alter behaviour behind the wheel. For others, however, the effect is apparently minimal. This teen would be proof of that, considering that, two weeks earlier, he was part of a jackass performance in which two drivers held back other motorists to clear the way for four buddies, who were travelling erratically at speeds of 80 to 100 km/h in 50 to 60 km/h zones. Police stopped them and they were each issued tickets for driving without due care and attention, which carries a fine of $368. Between the ages of 17 to 21, all had their cars impounded, including the individual nabbed on April 26. The gall of this young man is jaw-dropping, to say nothing of the danger he posed to innocent lives. The fact he was given another seven-day impoundment just a week after getting the car back is equally stunning. One wonders what admonishment he received at home, if any. The Office of the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles can issue further driving penalties — such as an extended impound or licence revocation upon review of a driver’s record. This teen’s record begs for such a review, resulting in licence revocation. Three months sounds appropriate. For that matter, how about six?

Don’t expand city limits, New Gold employees pay taxes Editor: I don’t understand why the City of Kamloops is always trying to chase good jobs out of city. I don’t agree with what Coun. Ken Christian is trying to do. Homeowners already pay big taxes for roads that are potholes and parks that are unaffordable for the average household. New Gold employees pay taxes like everyone else. The company also supports other businesses in our area and donates and sponsors events in our area. Every year, the city is using some excuse to raise taxes — maybe city council should stop voting itself raises because the average worker is tired of being bled by the city for more taxes.

New Gold employees pay for their kids to be in sports, just like everyone else. Christian didn’t make any sense when he commented for an article in the paper. He needs to go back to the books and see the tax contributions made by the people of Kamloops that own homes. Maybe city hall should start accepting companies that want to open here, instead of scaring them away. As a taxpayer, I do not agree with expanding city limits. Cindy Rose Kamloops

Ajax easy as one, two, three Editor: Got an interesting bit of propaganda recently from Yves Lacasse of KGHM Ajax. This bit of propaganda was supposedly full of facts. I have come to the conclusion there are only three facts at this time: 1. Ajax wishes to build a mine near the old Afton pit. 2. There are people in favour of the mine. 3. There are people against the mine. Everything else is supposition as to what will happen should the mine be developed. If all goes as KGHM says, great, but what if the negatives happen? Will the mine be shut down? I doubt it and that is my concern. Don Porter Kamloops

Young man goes off the rails on his 18th By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops man who marked his 18th birthday by getting wasted and trashing a CN Rail building won’t be celebrating his 19th at the bar. That’s because a judge has ordered Colton Bradley to keep sober for a year if he wants to avoid a criminal record. Crown prosecutor Katie Bouchard said Bradley was drunk in the early-morning

hours of Nov. 17. “He was out partying with a friend of his in Rayleigh,” she said. “He had consumed quite a bit of alcohol and decided to walk through the CN Rail yard.” Bouchard said Bradley happened upon a forklift in the CN yard and he decided to drive it — into the side of a trailer on the property used as the staff lunchroom.

Court heard he then drank water from a puddle before entering the trailer and passing out with his feet sticking out of a window. Bradley was awoken hours later by a CN employee arriving for the start of his shift. “Mr. Bradley spoke with him and told him he was looking for water,” Bouchard said. “He told that employee he had driven the forklift and also

THE COURTS

drank from a puddle of water outside the trailer.” Bouchard said the bill for the damage was almost $8,000. Bradley pleaded guilty to one count of break-and-enter and was handed a conditional discharge, meaning he won’t have a criminal record if he can stay out of trouble for a year — but not before Kamloops provincial court Judge Stephen Harrison delivered some harsh words. “Celebrating your 18th birth-

day, your first day in adulthood and you do this?” the judge said. “You may want to consider whether alcohol is the thing for you or if you need to find more constructive ways of entertaining yourself than running forklifts into trailers.” In addition to the no-alcohol term, Bradley was ordered to pay CN $1,000 in restitution to cover their deductible and to write a letter of apology to the company.

Last of the city’s old parking meters are now history It’s the end of an era in downtown Kamloops. Nearly six months after the first of the city’s new, digital pay stations went in on Victoria Street, the city has lopped the heads off the last of its remaining coin-operated meters.

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS GRABBER?

The city had held off on installing 40 more pay stations downtown because it was waiting for its pay station contractor, Precise Parklink to come up with a working app that would allow motorists to pay for parking using their smartphones.

But, while the stations are in and the meters are gone, community safety and enforcement manager Jon Wilson said the app isn’t likely to show up any time soon. “Just timing-wise we needed to get them out there,” he said.

Kamloops Mounties are looking for information that might help them track down a creepy pedestrian. RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said a man walking along the riverbank in the Kitchener Crescent area over the noon hour on Friday, May 2, said he was grabbed “inappropriately” by a passerby. The man called police and a dog

“We’ve been sitting and waiting for a number of things to be finished and we wanted to get the parking meters off the street and the pay stations in.” The city has added some new programming to the machines that

unit was unable to pick up a scent. The suspect is described as a white man in his 20s standing approximately five-foot-nine with short brown hair and a slim build. He was wearing a black T-shirt and red shorts. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Enjoy live entertainment and gather tips on eating fresh and healthy in your senior years.

Wilson said will make it easier for customers to pay for parking without accidentally entering incorrect licence plate data — one of the bigger issues with the machines so far.

LOCAL NEWS ALL ABOARD! Calvary Community Church was turned into a train lover’s paradise on the weekend as it hosted the National Model Railway Association Pacific Northwest. Among those attending were Bob Grace and Ed Hurley (below). The Kamloops Heritage Rail Society is anticipating another $5,000 or more in its Save-the-2141 coffers following the successful event. Brian Kelly of Kelly’s Kaboose, one of the organizers, said more than 1,600 people went through the displays on May 2 and May 3. Kelly said $3,000 in direct donations from those attending was collected and, once the bills are paid, another $2,000 to $3,000 will be added to the total. Money raised is being used by the society to fix steam engine 2141. Society members are expected to update city council today (May 6) on the effort to bring the 2141 steam train back to the tracks.

Firefighters raise voice on wood buildings By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops firefighting representative is part of a group voicing concerns about ever-taller wood buildings. Trevor Galan, a city firefighter and representative with the International Association of Fire Fighters local, attended an annual conference in Ottawa last week. The union is lobbying to have firefighter safety made a core objective of the National Building Code. Under today’s rules, firefighters are considered “general occupants.” The change would allow

KAMLOOPS

firefighting organizations to propose amendments to building codes. “One of the things is sixstory [wood] construction,” Galan said. “It’s definitely a concern to us.” Recent tall wood buildings in Kamloops include Library Square in North Kamloops and the under-construction Marriot Hotel at Hugh Allen Drive and Pacific Way in Aberdeen. Kamloops Fire Rescue Chief Dale McLean agreed tall wood buildings are a concern during the construction phase. There are rules in place for security of the site and other measures. “The most vulnerable

l a n i g i r ODEALER

time is during construction,” McLean said. “It’s a big, stick building.” McLean said a fire in a tall wood building under construction broke out in Edmonton, where he was stationed before Kamloops, that grew to involve several buildings. “It was a big, multi-floor wood building with all the precautions,” McLean said. “It still went up. It caused a lot of damage to surrounding buildings.” Galan said another concern voiced at the conference was a trend to multi-story buildings for seniors and the difficulty of evacuating them during an emergency.

Ask any new mom what she’d like this Mother’s Day, and she’ll likely ask for a few extra hours of sleep. Between feedings, diaper changes and interrupted nights, most mothers of newborns can use all the help they can get. If you have a new mom in your life, help make her first Mother’s Day one that she’ll always remember.

Arrange something like a cleaning service, the delivery of groceries or a qualified baby-sitting service — you will surely ease the workload and put a smile on her face. How about a gift card that ensures she takes time out for her body, mind and soul? If you prefer to give her a keepsake to honour her

first year as a mother, a gift of jewelry may be just the thing. If you’re buying for a new mom, why not start a charm bracelet, so you can continue to add to it in years to come? Motherhood is filled with milestones, so a first sterling silver charm for that baby girl or boy would be priceless.

Give her the gift of natural health

Studies suggest that, despite maintaining a healthy and balanced diet, older women are particularly prone to nutritional deficiencies. To make up for these shortfalls in their diet, some doctors recommend that older women take supplements such as calcium, vitamin D, probiotics and omega 3s. Visit a local natural health retailer and purchase a gift card for your mother to stock up on some of these essential vitamins and minerals. Helpful and knowledgeable staff can help guide her and answer her questions.

Crown wants killerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new trial to begin this fall By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A convicted Kelowna killer who has been granted a retrial in Kamloops has been given two weeks to find a new lawyer. Neil Snelson appeared in B.C. Supreme Court by video from Kamloops Regional Correctional

Centre on Monday, May 5. Crown prosecutor Sarah Firestone said the 47-year-oldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trial should take place sooner than later. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Crown is quite concerned with how dated this is becoming,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are dates available in September to November of this year, but they may

not be available if this continues to go over. There should be a trial date fixed very quickly in this matter.â&#x20AC;? That is complicated by the fact Wade Jenson, who had been Snelsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyer, will no longer represent Snelson. Because of that, Snelson said, a September trial date would be too soon.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not really a lot of time,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Crown has had this case for four or five years, and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get a good defence out of someone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had this case in their hands for four or five months.â&#x20AC;? In 2011, a jury found Snelson guilty of manslaughter following a trial for first-degree murder in the cold-

Tips received in eagle-deaths case The Conservation Officer Service has received a number of leads in its investigation of dead eagle carcasses found off East Shuswap Road in Kamloops in March. Sgt. Andy Mackay said publicity from a news release last week brought in a number of tips. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve received tips and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fol-

case death of Jennifer Cusworth. Cusworth, 19, was found beaten and strangled in a ditch in the Mission area of Kelowna in October 1993. Snelson was arrested in 2009 and has been in custody since. The juryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guilty verdict was called into question on appeal, based on the fact the

trial judge erred in allowing jurors to see part of a video in which Snelson tells a police officer heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not sure how he will plead to the charges heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facing. A three-judge B.C. Court of Appeal panel ruled last September that Snelson should be granted a new trial.

Last month, Jenson and Crown prosecutor Iain Currie agreed to hold the new trial in Kamloops. No reason was given for Jenson no longer being Snelsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyer. Snelsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s matter was put over to May 20 to give him some time to hire a lawyer.

Federal lawyers argue voter-ID laws are effective By Bruce Cheadle CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — A previous round of Conservative voter-identification rules enacted in 2007 effectively met Parliament’s need for electoral integrity without being too strict, federal lawyers argue in a brief to the Supreme Court. The attorney-general’s submission to the country’s top court comes as the federal government moves to further tighten voting restrictions under its controversial Fair Elections Act. The legislation — also known as Bill C-23 — marks the second time the Conservatives have moved on what they perceive to be an issue of voter fraud, and it comes while their first round of reforms is still being legally contested. Three British Columbia voters, with the help of the B.C. Civil Liberties Association, are seeking leave to appeal to the Supreme Court their constitutional challenge of the 2007 voter-ID reforms. The court has not yet decided whether it will hear the appeal. Two lower courts found the identification reforms did constitute a Charter breach, but ruled the breach was justifiable because the rules were “minimally impairing.’’ Federal lawyers say the top court should not revisit the case because it does not raise a matter of

public importance. The government argues the 2007 reforms “serve to make the rare events of fraud and error rarer, which protects the integrity of the vote and maintains public confidence in the electoral system.’’ That’s not the case that has been put to the Canadian public by Pierre Poilievre, the Conservative minister for democratic reform. Since introducing Bill C-23 at the beginning of February, Poilievre has repeatedly raised the alarm over voter fraud to justify the elimination of “vouching’’ for people without proper ID. Under the 2007 law, a fully documented voter can vouch for the identity of a voter without full ID. “The risks of vouching are obvious,’’ Poilievre told the Commons on March 24 as he championed a further tightening of the rules. “It is obviously risky to allow someone to vote without having any documented ID of who they are or where they live.’’ Poilievre then cited a report commissioned by Elections Canada that stated vouching safeguards “were violated 50,735 times, or 42 per cent of the time, in the last election.’’ Yet, government lawyers have been arguing in B.C. courts since 2009 that vouching is a “failsafe’’ that protects the constitutionality of the 2007 voter-ID rules — a position the government continues to maintain in its current submission

to the Supreme Court. The federal brief lists three ways voting rights are protected under the 2007 law — the third being vouching — and says the system works. Last month, the Conservatives announced a number of amendments to Bill C-23, including a partial backtrack on the vouching ban. The bill would now permit a fully documented voter to sign an oath attesting to the local residency of another voter, who must still be able to show personal ID. “The Fair Elections Act will eliminate the use of vouching for identity purposes,’’ Poilievre reiterated in the House of Commons on Monday, May 5. In seeking to have their case heard by the Supreme Court, the three B.C. voters cited the latest Conservative elections bill and argued the court could provide “guidance’’ to federal and provincial legislatures on constitutional issues around voter ID laws. In response to the appeal application, the attorney general argued the top court should ignore the Fair Elections Act. “It may never be enacted or may undergo amendment,’’ says the federal brief. “No question of public importance can be inferred from proposed legislation.’’ Prior to 2007, Canadians were not required to show ID when they voted in federal elections as long as their name appeared on the voters’ list.

Extremely wet weather wreaks havoc in Lower Mainland, Interior CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — A rock slide that severed Highway 3 near Keremeos has been cleared, but conditions along the route are expected to remain wet, with up to 10 centimetres of snow forecast along the route. Warnings of up to 20 millimetres of rain have been issued for several areas, including for the Boundary, Kootenay Lake, West Kootenay and Elk Valley regions. The nasty weather follows a weekend of downpours across the South Coast and Central Interior, with rainfall records set in several locations, including White Rock, where

83 millimetres of rain came down on Sunday, May 4. All the rain has prompted the River Forecast Centre to issue a high streamflow advisory for the Southern Interior, covering waterways in the Okanagan and Shuswap. The advisory applies to small and medium-sized watersheds, including Mission Creek near Kelowna, the Salmon River near Falkland and the region from Salmon Arm to Sicamous. A slide and flooding washed out a North Okanagan road just east of Enderby on Friday, May 2, cutting power and stranding hundreds of residents, but power was restored the next day.

White Rock’s 16th Avenue became a river when 83 millimetres of water crashed down on the oceanside community on the weekend. Peace Arch News photo

Tortured pets acquired online CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — Humane society officials say a man accused of animal abuse got a dog and a cat found dead in a Calgary alley with their mouths bound shut from the online classifieds site Kijiji. After a four-month investigation, police laid charges against 19-year-old Nicolino Ivano Camardi. Camardi was arrested on Saturday May 3, and spent the weekend in custody. An examination at a local veterinarian’s office determined the dog had been starved through chronic malnourishment. It also found that the cat had been strangled following injuries to its head, tail and hind limbs. Camardi is facing charges of wilfully causing unnecessary pain, suffering or injury to an animal.

Hay denied those were true in an interview with KTW on Friday, saying the decision to move on was tough, but one that will benefit both organizations. “Everything was going good,” Hay said. “I was looking forward to next year’s group. Ron approached me about the situation that could be possible, to come back, and if I wanted to have a look at it.” KTW’s interview with Hay can be heard in its entirety at kamloopsthisweek.com. Even if things had become stale in Vancouver — after 10 years, a record of 401-252-26-37, five B.C. Division titles, four appearances in the Western Conference final, a WHL championship and one Memorial Cup — the former Kamloops fireman’s return is more about coming home than anything else. Hay, 60, was born and raised in the River City. He has daughters and

grandchildren in the Interior. The Kamloops Sports Hall of Fame member has been gone for 19 years, but he never sold his Brocklehurst house, summering each year in the Tournament Capital. “It kind of caught me by surprise because I didn’t think it would take place and it was something that was appealing to me,” Hay said. “I’ve always called Kamloops home.” If the relationship between Hay and Giants’ GM Scott Bonner had become strained, the same cannot be said of the bond between Hay and Craig Bonner, Scott’s brother. “Craig was my first captain when I took over as a coach in 1992,” Hay said. “When I went to Vancouver, he was an assistant coach and assistant GM. I really enjoyed working with him and dealing with him. He has a really good hockey mind and he knows how to build a winner. “The relationship between the coach and GM is so important. That’s one of the main reasons I came back.” X See NEW A21

Don’t wait ‘til it’s too late Get it done early

Kamloops Major Men’s Fastball League’s 2014 season cancelled By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Competing interests and a lack of leadership are at the centre of the dissolution of the Kamloops Major Men’s Fastball League, but longtime players are hoping a one-year hiatus will spark a rebirth of the association in the Tournament Capital. Mark Matthew, a co-captain of the North Thompson Titans, said the league’s five teams jointly made the decision to cancel the 2014 season. “It’s tough to find players,” the 15-year player and former league executive told KTW. “Also, with the ongoing pressures of daily life, it’s tough to find individuals to lead the league, quite honestly. “We don’t really have a president and all that structure anymore. It’s more or less

Scenes like this one will not appear on River City diamonds this year, with the Kamloops Major Men’s Fastball League heading into hibernation. KTW file photo

softened the structure into the team captains of each team that has generally played.” The league, which Matthew described as “C ball, with some B players,” once featured a significantly larger base of teams. However, in recent years, the group fell to six, with the last five years more often featuring just five clubs — Lillooet, Chase and three teams from Kamloops. Matthew and long-

time pitcher Scott Austin both said the youth of the sport hasn’t developed to fill the gaps as the playing population aged, particularly on the mound. Fast pitch has managed to attract a few youth in recent years, including from, perhaps surprisingly, the ranks of baseball and the midget AAA Kamloops RiverDogs, but none of them have been of the windmillthrowing variety. “We were lucky

to have a lot of good pitchers, but those good pitchers are now, like myself, getting to be 45, 46 years old,” Austin said. He has been playing fast pitch for 30 years, since he was 16. The league has also struggled to get sponsorship and funding in recent years, adding to problems created by the shifting landscape of minor sports. “When I was that age — 14, 15 — I wasn’t playing hockey

all year. I was doing other sports,” Austin said. “I think because kids now specialize in sports at a younger age and hockey being the religion in Canada, all these summer sports are getting pushed.” There is interest in reviving the competitive fast pitch league next year. Austin and Matthew said there are plans to organize some dropin play in the coming weeks, to keep people sharp and interested, though the planning of that has also stalled. The future of the league will depend heavily on the establishment of a leadership group moving forward. Team captains have tried to fill the gap but, when it comes to scheduling games, organizing umpires, distributing supplies and the like, a central figure needs to take the reins.

RS REPAI L TO AL S! MAKE

“What we’re hoping is that this will put a charge into some of the other teams and some of the interested players and that we can get everybody organized to strike it up again next year,” Matthew said.

Therrien: Bruins playing mind games By Bill Beacon

THE CANADIAN PRESS sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

BROSSARD, QUE. — The mind games have begun in the Boston-Montreal playoff series. Canadiens’ coach Michel Therrien said on Monday, April 5, his team won’t be put off by what he feels are the Bruins attempts to plant a seed of doubt in goalie Carey Price’s head. Or by what he feels is Bruins’ coach Claude Julien’s bid to catch a break from the referees. “It’s something they’ve tried in the past,’’ said Therrien, whose team emerged from the opening two games in Boston tied 1-1 in the best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinal. “We all remember in the [2013] Stanley Cup final when they talked about [Chicago goalie] Corey Crawford and how he was giving up goals glove side. “It’s a part of their strategy. It’s the same thing with Claude’s comments, how they had to deal with penalties — which I find they’re coming out of pretty well. They’re trying to influence the decisions of the officials. These are the Boston Bruins. It’s always been like this and it won’t change. It doesn’t seem to be affecting my players and, as far as I’m concerned, it doesn’t affect me.’’ Game 3 is set for today (May 6) at what will no doubt be, for the Bruins, a loud and hostile Bell Centre. The puck drops at 4:30 p.m. Bruins’ defencemen Dougie Hamilton and Torey Krug have

suggested the key to beating Price is to shoot high, particularly when they have traffic in front of the net. “We’ve definitely noticed that when he’s screened, he’s looking low and he gets really low,’’ Hamilton said on Sunday, May 4. “I think we can score a lot of goals up high.’’ That drew a shrug from Price. “I’ve seen a lot of scouting reports on lots of goalies throughout the league and that’s pretty much the scouting report on everybody,’’ he said. “It’s the same for [Boston goalie] Tuukka Rask, it’s the same for me, it’s the same for Ben Bishop, it’s the same for Corey Crawford. It’s a pretty irrelevant comment, I thought.’’ Price insists he wasn’t doing a little toying of his own with the Bruins’ minds when he said they were lucky after Boston’s comeback 5-3 win in Game 2. The Bruins erased a 3-1 deficit in the final 9:04 of the third period to even the series. Two goals beat Price high, although one went off Francis Bouillon’s stick and another — the tying goal by Patrice Bergeron — skipped off the ice and shot up under the crossbar. “A puck that hits nothing and goes top shelf? That’s pretty lucky in my opinion,’’ Price said. But he also said: “They did a pretty good job of getting to the net. They’re a very big, battling team and they’re experienced. They know what it takes to score goals in the playoffs. We’re going to have to do a better job

of finding a way to see the puck.’’ Not just the high shots, he added. “Like I said, it’s a pretty general statement at this time of year. If you look at all the goals that are scored throughout the playoffs, probably 30 per cent of them are tips and 50 per cent of them are screens and the other 10 [per cent] are just clean shots.’’ Price has been solid in the series, allowing seven goals on 85 shots in two games, including several big saves on close-in chances. The Bruins had Montreal hemmed in its zone for long stretches of both games. Canadiens’ winger Brendan Gallagher said that if the goalie who backstopped Canada to gold at the Winter Olympics in February has a blind spot, he’s yet to find it during practices. “I’ve been shooting on him for two years now and I’ve yet to find a weakness, so I don’t know if they’ve [found] one,’’ Gallagher said. “In our minds, he’s the best goalie in the world and he shows that every night.’’ However they go in, the Canadiens want to concede fewer of them on home ice. Therrien will have last line change, so he’ll be able to match his best checkers and defencemen against Boston’s top threats and perhaps keep possession of the puck a little longer. The Canadiens certainly want the puck in Boston’s end of the ice more than it was in the first two games. “It starts with our forecheck and pos-

session of the puck through the neutral zone,’’ Habs captain Brian Gionta said. “When we’re doing that right we can get our guys in there to press their defence into making quicker decisions. “They don’t come out as clean and therefore they don’t come into our end as clean. We were doing that for the most part of Game 2.’’ Therrien would not comment on potential lineup changes. Rene Bourque missed practice with a flu, so the lines weren’t entirely clear, but it appeared rugged winger Brandon Prust may be scratched, as he skated with the so-far unused George Parros. It looks like rookie Michael Bournival, promoted to the second line with Gallagher and Tomas Plekanec during Game 2, will stay there. Big Douglas Murray skated with Mike Weaver on the third defence pair. That could bump Bouillon to the pressbox. The Canadiens insisted they were happy to leave Boston with a split of the series even though they had a lead snatched away that could have had them up 2-0. Therrien is glad his power play has found its range with four goals on nine chances, but wants his team to be better at even strength, where Boston has outscored them 7-3. “I didn’t hate the way we played,’’ he said. “But, there are aspects of our game we need to improve. We’re all aware of it.’’

Winterhawks take 2-0 lead on Oil Kings in WHL final Brendan Leipsic had a goal and an assist in his return from a one-game suspension and his Portland Winterhawks defeated the Edmonton Oil Kings 3-1 in Game 2 of the Western Hockey League final Sunday. Portland leads the series 2-0, with Game 3 set for tonight (May 6) in Edmonton.

Chase De Leo and Paul Bitter also scored for Portland, while goaltender Corbin Boes made 28 saves in victory. Henrik Samuelsson scored a third-period goal for Edmonton, which got 29 saves from Tristan Jarry in defeat. The Oil Kings finished 1-for3 with the man advantage, while

Portland failed to convert on four power-play opportunities. Portland has won 24 straight games at home, including all eight in the post-season. The Winterhawks last lost on home ice on Jan. 4. Overall, Portland has won 42 of its last 45 games dating to the regular season.

Obituaries & In Memoriam The Angel On Your Shoulder By Jackie Huston Lena, Wisconsin

There’s an angel on your shoulder Though you may not know she’s there, She watches over you day and night And keeps you in her care. There’s an angel on your shoulder Watching you learn and grow Keeping you safe from danger And nurturing your soul. She’ll be there through your triumphs She’ll dance on clouds with pride, She’ll hold your hand through disappointments and fears, Standing faithfully by your side. In her lifetime this angel was strong and true, And stood up for what was right. In your life you’ll be faced with decisions and trials And she’ll shine down her guiding light. Life holds so much in store for you, So remember as you grow older, There are no heights you cannot reach ‘Cause there’s an angel on your shoulder.

Pennies From Heaven I found a penny today, Just laying on the ground But it’s not just a penny, This little coin I’ve found. “Found” pennies come from heaven, That’s what my Grandpa told me He said angels toss them down; Oh, how I loved that story. He said when an angel misses you, They toss a penny down Sometimes just to cheer you up, Make a smile out of your frown So don’t pass by that penny, When you’re feeling blue It may be a penny from heaven That an angel tossed to you.

Sa-Hali’s new stars Live theatre begins on Thursday at the school By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

ITH MANY OF HIS experienced acting students graduating, Sa-Hali secondary theatre-arts teacher Bill Haug was faced with a new crop of eager would-be thespians this year.

Sa-Hali Secondary actor Sabrina Bepple (centre) is introduced to the cage of characters during rehearsal for the school’s upcoming theatrical comedy, The Cagebirds. Dave Eagles/ KTW

Of the 10 who made it through auditions to the upcoming school show, “seven are newbies,” he said, “and you usually get one in Grade 8, but I’ve got more and only one in Grade 12. “So, it’s a very young cast, a relatively inexperienced group.” When the run of Cagebirds and Other Delights is finished, however, this group of 10 will have grown exponentially in their abilities. Haug chose five

short plays to make up the performances, with the second act the longest of the bunch — Cagebirds by David Campton. It’s the story of six women enclosed in a room — like birds in a cage — who each represent a specific type of person. There’s the gossip, the gloomy one, the noisy one, the unhappy one, the narcissistic one and the gluttonous one. They’re controlled by The Mistress. X See ELEMENTARY B2

Teacher ‘amazed’ by Sa-Hali students’ maturity X From B1

A character called The Wild One is brought into the group and the ensuing mostly dramatic moments, with some comedic relief, look at issues like freedom, oppression, indoctrination and isolation. “They’re each stuck in their own head space,” Haug said, “and are unwilling to move on.” The first act is made up of four plays by Christopher Durang, including Medea, a one-act play again with a female-dominated cast faced with a difficult life question to answer. While Medea uses a deus ex machine device at the end, Haug has created his own dialogue for the outside characters, who also come down from above to interact with the play and take it to its conclusion. The cast was involved in all aspects of the play, from helping create the minimalist stage to painting it. Haug’s wife created the costumes for Cagebirds, students brought in some items for other parts of the production, a certified-edu-

cate assistant has been helping with costumes and the school has rented some from Pandora’s Costume Box. In a newsletter to parents, Haug said of his cast and crew: “The cast have been in rehearsal since late February, with the technical crew joining after- school rehearsals in April. Many of the cast are newcomers to the world of school play production and have found that it is difficult to meet all the commitments required of them inside and outside of school. “Rehearsals tend to get more demanding and time-consuming during April, requiring the cast and crew to further stretch their already busy lives. During the rehearsal process, I have been impressed and at times amazed with the level of maturity and focus by his year’s cast.“ The show opens on Thursday, May 8, at the school and continues to Saturday, May 10. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., with the show beginning at 7 p.m. Admission is $10 at the door or tickets can be ordered by calling the school.

George Thorogood has it down to an art KTW’s Dale Bass hit the ISC On Thursday, May 1 — here’s what she thought of the show The music starts and the oh-so-familiar voice begins. “The Eastern world, it is exploding, violence flaring and bullets loading.” You know the rest, I’m sure. Did you picture Barry McGuire? If you were at Interior Savings Centre on Thursday, May 1, you likely had another iconic rock singer’s face pop up in your mind — George Thorogood. Because, as you heard McGuire sing, ‘We’re on the even of destruction,” you just knew you were on the eve of Thorogood and his longtime band, the Destroyers. After 40 years of being on the road, recording the songs everyone at ISC knew, it was a polished show

with all the right moves and shout-outs to Kamloops. Thorogood worked every inch of the stage, waved to the audience and lead the many singalongs. After all, this is the man who once said: “This music has been around since before the beard on Moses. I happen to do it very well and I happen to have a lot of groovy songs that I know people are going to dig.” All those songs were there — Born to be Bad, Bad to the Bone, If You Don’t Start Drinkin’, I Drink Alone, Get a Haircut. Other highlights: Drummer Jeff Simon, who’s been in the band from the beginning and who must have worked off a good 10 pounds with his pulsing

rhythms, and Buddy Leach on sax. Rock and roll and saxophone — ‘nuff said on that. While the band is a pounding reminder of how good rock can be, opening act Devon Coyote cast a light on upcoming talent. The Kelowna-based singer-songwriter is a multi-talented wonder, someone we should be glad gave up his construction job to throw his immense talent into music. Along with D’Arcy Booth (bass) and Dylan Ranney (drums), the Coyote band makes frequent stops in Kamloops. He’s back in town on Aug. 1 at the Blue Grotto.

KISSM dreaming of drumming Burlesque returns to Grotto Thursday Kamloops Burlesque returns on Thursday, May 8. The monthly show is Animal Planet-themed this month. The 19-plus show is at the Blue Grotto, 319 Victoria St. Doors open

By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

KISSM wants to march to a different beat. This year, the folks who run the Kamloops Interior Summer School of Music (KISSM) want to bring a drum-line program to its offerings. KISSM executive director Kim Mangan said the project, which she has been working on for four years, is one of the largest the group has taken on in its 36-year history and one she hopes also sees a community drum-line group created. The idea came from an American student who spent a summer volunteering at KISSM, who talked about the marching band at his high school and the many benefits it brought to students. KISSM has been renting the instruments from a similar organization in Abbotsford. However, Mangan said, it made sense for KISSM to have its own. The goal is to raise about $26,000 to buy 16 instruments, the optimal number the Abbotsford group suggested for an organization the size of KISSM. Mangan hopes to be able to share the instruments and programming with the KamloopsThompson school district, which already uses KISSM-owned instruments in its schools. Mangan sees a community marching band as something that could take part at the many sports and cultural

at 8 p.m. The show starts at 9:30 p.m. VIP tickets can be purchased in advance for $10 at Instinct Adornment. Cover is $5 at the door.

CAREERS

Use global marketplace to reach new customers The global marketplace operates 24/7, giving big and small businesses a chance to reach countless new customers. To succeed in this ever-changing, technology-driven world, one thing is certain: Increased skills and knowledge are required in the workforce. “For many adults, when the workplace and their profession are increasingly focused on doing business in other parts of the world, they can advance their career and demonstrate the value they bring to their organization by identifying and building new skills,” said Ward Ulmer, associate dean at Walden University’s College of Management and Technology. “Globalization has created a supply-anddemand not available even 10 years ago — and the driving factor is the advance of technology that is opening up the marketplace.” Globalization, he said, presents both a challenge and an opportunity for workers since organizations need pro-

fessionals who can find ways to help the business grow. In today’s fastchanging environment, online higher education is an especially effective way to help employees achieve this needed knowledge. Making the commitment to continue your education can have an immediate return on investment for your business and professional goals, Ulmer said. Working adults who opt to continue their education at an internationally attended online university are putting their newly acquired skills to work right away. Adding this type of value to your organization is not as difficult as one might think. Advanced technology makes it convenient for working adults to earn bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees online — and on a timeline that fits with their family, professional and other commitments. As you work to complete your degree, be sure to focus on this short list of skills improvement for the

global market: • Adapt your current communications skills, including how to leverage social media. • Enhance your analytic skills so you can interpret data from different parts of the world. • Exchange best practices and work as part of a global team. • Understand and appreciate the cultural differences for various nationalities. The online classroom gives students a unique and highly valued opportunity to learn and interact in a virtual environment, which is not usually available in a

traditional classroom. It’s also worth mentioning the importance of the faculty and their credentials when choosing a university. “Our faculty consists of scholar-practitioners who are active and highly experienced in the global economy,” Ulmer said. “And the students are connected to others around the world in a constant exchange of real-time ideas and best practices.” To learn more about the skills and knowledge in demand in the global marketplace, go online to WaldenU.edu/globalskills.

Lincoln MKC unveiled in Kamloops By Jessica Klymchuk STAFF REPORTER

jkymchuk@kamloopsthisweek.com

AMLOOPS FORD Lincoln unveiled the brand new 2015 MKC in an unprecedented dealership event on April 28. The gala unveiling for the luxury vehicle was first for Kamloops Lincoln as the brand continues to reinvent itself. Lincoln is presenting the MKC as one of its most important vehicles to date. The 2015 MKC is a small utility vehicle, designed to compete with BMWs and Acuras, marketing manager Jennifer Scheps said. The market for small utility vehicles has grown 130 per cent in the last four years and the MKC, along with the previously debuted MKX, is Lincoln’s entrance into the more compact vehicle market.

Starting at $40,000, the MKC puts Lincoln in a new price bracket that wasn’t typical in the past, Scheps said. The MKC is marketed to current luxury car owners and Lincoln customers, but also the younger demographic that is looking for a higher-quality vehicle. “It’s a whole new product for Lincoln,” she said. “It’s exciting because Lincoln isn’t typically a huge brand in this market, but it’s starting to evolve.” Kamloops Ford Lincoln general sales manager Craig Brown said the dealership is excited to get the vehicle on the lot. He believes it will be No. 1 in the Lincoln segment for the Kamloops dealership, based on the demographic it usually sees. Lincoln performance academy trainer Steven Yago brought the MKC into the dealership to train the staff on the performance fea-

tures in preparation for its launch this summer. He highlighted some of the advanced features for the public during the unveiling. “I think one of the things [dealerships] are most surprised about is just the quality that Lincoln is putting out with this vehicle, especially where the price point is set at,” he said, adding that he believes the MKC will bring Lincoln back to the forefront of cutting-edge luxury vehicles. Personal service, great design and quality craftsmanship are three ways Lincoln likes to express itself, and Yago said the MKC is the latest and best expression of that. The MKC has two different engines — the 2.0 L EcoBoost with 240 hp and 270 lb/ft of torque and the 2.3 L EcoBoost with 285 hp and 305 lb/ft of torque. The 2.3L engine is new and exclusive

to Lincoln. “It’s a monster of a four-cylinder engine,” Yago said. The Lincoln Drive Control with continuously controlled damping is standard in the MKC. Drivers can pick their preferred driving experience through the available three-mode adaptive suspension — comfort, normal or sport. The driver-assist technology includes the adaptive cruise control, which can slow you down when slow traffic is detected ahead. The adaptive warning system can detect if you are about to rearend another vehicle and will give you an audible and visual warning and prime the brakes, so when you touch the brakes the vehicle will fully break right away, Yago explained. The MKC also features parkassist and park-out.

Lane-keeping technology can be activated to watch the road ahead. It can sense if you are drifting and will give a vibration to notify you of the movement. An audible notification will follow if you continue to drift and if that doesn’t get your attention, a steering torque will help direct you to steer back toward your lane. “That’s definitely something you should get your salesperson to demo for you,” Yago said. He pointed out the split-wing grill with active grill shutters that assist with aerodynamics. In certain conditions they will actually close up the grill to direct air around, which increases the fuel efficiency. The fuel economy of the 2015 MKC will be discussed closer to the launch in the coming months, Scheps said.
