THIS WEEK

TEACHERS PREP FOR FULL-SCALE STRIKE

By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

MASTER OF HER STUDIES Kamloops teacher Rolynda Simpson celebrates receiving her master’s of education degree during the Thompson Rivers University spring convocation ceremony at the Tournament Capital Centre. The university will continue to award degrees today (Friday, June 13) and tomorrow, with tomorrow’s schedule including TRU’s inaugural law class graduating and the presentation of honorary doctors of laws to former premier Gordon Campbell and former B.C. chief justice Lance Finch. Dave Eagles/KTW

The voicemail-message system on Jason Karpuk’s phone was full by early morning on Thursday, June 12.

Many of the calls he was receiving came from teachers upset that Thursday looked like it might be their last day in the classroom as they are on a rotating strike today (June 13), have a union-ordered study session planned for Monday, June 16, and will engage in a full-scale strike beginning on Tuesday, June 17.

“That’s the nature of the teacher,” Karpuk said of their sadness.

“And it’s the reason we are fighting the way we are, because it is about the kids. It is about class size and composition.”

Karpuk, president of the KamloopsThompson Teachers’ Association, said he was pleased to hear B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) president Jim Iker talk about a commitment to bargain hard to reach a deal before the end of June.

Karpuk noted the Canadian Union of Public Employees which, along with several other unions, represents support, clerical and maintenance staff in the school system, had intensive bargaining sessions with the government and struck a deal within five days.

He said he didn’t view a ruling by the Labour Relations Board declaring marking exams and report cards as an essential service a loss because the board directed school administration to use its staff first to oversee the provincial exams this month, filling any gaps with teachers.

The ruling declared teachers essential for: • Supervising of grades 10 to 12 provincial exams; • Compiling and submitting final grades for Grade 12 students no later than June 20; • Doing all psychometric or other testing scheduled as of the date of the order that is necessary to determine whether a student should receive a

special-needs designation; and • Providing all information necessary to confirm or discontinue the designation for students in the specialneeds category of intensive behaviour or serious mental illness for the upcoming school year.

Karpuk said teachers are frustrated with media reports that have focused on wage demands, noting some describe teachers as making $80,000 a year and more.

Kamloops-Thompson school district Supt. Terry Sullivan said his administration uses $86,000 as the baseline number in its budgeting, noting that salary includes wages and benefits, which are about 20 per cent of the total remuneration.

Karpuk said the BCTF identifies the average wage alone for teachers to be $71,000 for those with at least five years’ experience.

Sullivan wants to see a better system to deal with contract talks with teachers, noting he is unhappy the BCTF served its 72 hours’ strike notice at about 10 p.m. on Wednesday, June 11.

It left one day to deal with a lot of issues, including, Sullivan said, “the little ones” in schools.

“You can’t just drop this on little ones,” he said.

“There’s a process teachers use.

Today we’re taking this home and tomorrow we’re taking this home and you get them prepared. You don’t send them home with everything in one day.”

Sullivan noted there was a teachers’ strike in 1999, the year he came to the Kamloops-Thompson school district.

During his career in Kamloops, every year has seen some kind of conflict between the BCTF and the government.

“It just seems to go on and on and the system is continually on edge,” Sullivan said.

“We spend millions and millions of dollars on HR [human resources] and arbitrations and there needs to be adjustments to the system.”

Invasive Plants and Noxious Weeds Invasive plants and noxious weeds are non-native plants that have found their way into BC. Without the insect predators or plant pathogens that naturally control them in their native habitats, they can quickly spread out of control.

We can all have a part in stopping the spread of plants that can be harmful to people, animals, and our delicate ecosystems. Preventing is the most effective method of control.

Ways of preventing the spread of invasive plants: t Find out which non-native species can invade natural areas and avoid planting them in your garden. t Be cautious of ordering plant seeds over the Internet or through catalogues. t Be wary of wildflower mixes as many contain invasive species. t Grow regionally native plants in your garden. t Never dump garden waste or hanging baskets into natural areas. t If you see invasive plants in your yard, contain them within your property to prevent them from spreading to other properties in the neighbourhood. t Control weeds that grow under bird feeders. Often seeds in bird feeders fall out and begin to grow on the ground beneath, introducing foreign and invasive plants to ourenvironment.

To find out about local invasive plants and how to control them visit www.kamloops.ca/ipm.

FIRED FROM WORK? For many people, work is a major component of their lives.

In fact, many people identify themselves by what they do. But, when someone is fired from their job, it can be both a financial and emotional blow.

Out of the shed and past the driveway

By Jessica Wallace STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

G

ordon Goss, 92, gave his son Peter his 1955 Super 88 last Father’s Day. There was a time, however, when Peter couldn’t take the antique car past the driveway of their family home.

“I never put any miles on it because you went backwards as often as you went forward,” Peter says with a laugh.

Gordon gave him the car last year because he’s “not going to be around forever.”

He remembers purchasing it brand new from a dealership on Victoria Street.

He turned in his 1949 Monarch and paid just under $5,000.

“They tried to sell me a Chev,” he says — about half the

price of the Super 88 Holiday Coupe Delux.

But, he was “young and single and stupid,” he says, so he wanted the Super.

Today, the red and white colours add value to the vintage car, already a rare Canadian limited edition.

The seat goes up and down, back and fourth, it shifts like no other and you never tire of driving it, Gordon says.

“It’s a beaut.”

Gordon can’t remember the last time he drove it, but Peter does.

They were on their way back from the family cabin at Shuswap Lake in October of 1972.

“It was snowing,” Peter says.

“It was a steep hill and we got stuck.”

It was the last ride before it would be taken off the road and

put into storage.

The car remained in the shed when Peter and his wife Lori moved back into the home with Gordon in 1998 after Peter’s mom passed away.

Last year, Gordon handed Peter the papers and the one came out of the shed.

Still, he never took it much further than the driveway because the car needed some work.

Another $5,000 or so was put into the car more than a half-century later — the brakes refurbished along with the bearings, seals, carburetor, fuel tank and more.

Now that it’s ready, Peter’s excited to have it on the road, this time permanently.

And he taking his dad on a trip he’ll remember this Father’s Day — past the driveway and out to the lake.

In law, an employer can fire a non-union employee with or without “just cause”. This means you can be fired for any reason, provided that reason does not violate human rights or other employment legislation.

However, if you are fired without just cause, you must be provided with reasonable notice or appropriate compensation in place of notice to help you while you find another similar job. What is reasonable and appropriate depends on many factors, including your position, length of time with your employer, age, and the terms of your employment contract.

If you want to make sure that you have received reasonable notice or appropriate compensation for your dismissal, call Fulton & Company’s experienced Employment Law Team.

Chamber has tax plan for Victoria

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops Chamber of Commerce is hoping it can sell the provincial government on a plan to drive down the cost of property purchases in B.C. for Canadian residents.

Brant Hasanen, policy committee co-chair for the Kamloops chamber, said the organization wants to reduce the propertytransfer tax for purchasers living in B.C. and the rest of Canada by increasing taxes paid by foreign purchasers.

“It’s easy enough to ask [the government] for a tax break, but we also have to help them understand where they can get the money from that they’re going without,” Hasanen said.

“Obviously, they’re not going to listen to us to take a cut in revenue.”

The resolution is one of four pieces of policy drafted by the Kamloops chamber and adopted by the B.C. Chamber of Commerce at its annual conference in late May. Having the B.C. Chamber

on board means more lobbying power behind the resolutions, which are also forwarded to the provincial or federal governments.

Also adopted were resolutions dealing with access to the legal system, disability funding and a resolution calling for new floodplain mapping.

Hasanen said the latter was inspired by major flooding in Alberta last year, which caused more than $5 billion in damage.

B.C.’s flood-plain maps, which show the likelihood of a property being damaged by flooding, are almost 70 years old and need updating, Hasanen said.

“It’s important to almost everybody,” he said.

“The buyer wants to know what the chance of their place being flooded is.

“Insurance companies need to know when it comes to looking at insurance situations.

“And realtors really want to be able to understand, when they’re buying a place, what the chances of it being flooded are.”

While most of the resolutions adopted from the Kamloops

chamber were provincial in scope, a resolution calling for the provincial and federal governments to co-operate on disability funding will also go to the Canadian Chamber of Commerce for debate in September.

The resolution seeks to streamline the application process for the Registered Disability Savings Plan.

“The application process for RDSP is exceptionally onerous and it’s just horrible what people with disabilities have to go through to get access to this program,” Hasanen said.

Instead of applying for the program separately, people could be signed up automatically when they apply to a provincial program.

The chamber is also looking at a resolution that would add a new five per cent tax to alcohol sales, with money dedicated to addictions services.

However, Hasanen added, it received “serious pushback” from the hospitality industry and opted not to advance the policy to the provincial chamber this year.

Sa-Hali is superb A team of Sa-Hali secondary students has won top honours at a provincial competition on entrepreneurship and innovation.

Taylor Campbell, Nicolas Hilton, Melissa Pavan, Kaylan Philips, Megailia Rose and Sophia de Zeeuw also won the People’s Choice Award in March at the Junior Achievement of British Columbia’s JABC Innovation Jam. The team”s journey to the Grand Prize started in January when 20 schools got together in Vancouver for the competition.

The 120 students in grades 11 and 12 were required to create and pitch a new business idea with a focus on environmental sustainability — all within that one day.

The Sa-Hali team created a plan for Morning Wood Toothbrushes, which involve a handle made from various unusable wood.

Report from Royal Inland

HALTING THE HURT Nancy Serwo Interim Health Services Administrator Royal Inland Hospital

By Jessica Wallace STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Fifteen to 20 species means 15 to 20 different diets.

Adrienne Clay’s first patient is a premature, abandoned chick.

It chirps and opens its eyes as Clay pushes a feeding tube — no thicker than a wire — down its throat.

The tiny bird fits in the palm of Clay’s hand and likely won’t live another day.

The bird should be inside its shell, warm under its mother.

It was brought into the animal-health centre that morning.

“It’s not looking good,” Clay says.

She clips and cleans away clotted blood, but leaves the shell for the chick to pick off itself.

The ugly-duckling cliché seems appropriate, but Clay insists that, eventually, “they’re really cute.”

The animal-health technologist at the B.C. Wildlife Park says she’s basically a vet nurse.

She’s been there a year-and-a-half, but grew up in a national park.

She remembers taking in injured park animals and having a “zoo” — snakes, h mice, m tadpoles, a dog, a rabbit b and a raven.

Conservation officers “would smack me,” she says “ with w a laugh.

Her love of animals has guided her career and even g taken her to Australia for ta training at Steve Irwin’s anitr mal m hospital.

The best part of her job is helping animals hurt by humans. h But, it goes both ways.

Dave Eagles/KTW Animals sometimes die after contracting secondary symptoms while in care at the centre — the worst part of her job.

“I get really upset,” she says.

Clay deals with it like she deals with being scratched and peed upon or like she deals with some of her less-than glamorous duties, like cleaning up feces and euthanizing animals that can’t be rehabilitated.

About half of the animals die, but she does her best.

“I treat them all the same,” she says.

She has to.

Her next patient is a hawk — and it eats chicks.

Did your mom tell you to wash your hands before dinner when you were a kid? Mine sure did and I grumbled about it. Did you grumble, too? Well, it turns out that Mom really did know best. Hand washing may just be the most important life skill we learned as children.

Good hand hygiene is the No. 1 way to reduce the incidence of infections – in our homes, in our schools and in our health-care facilities, such as Royal Inland Hospital. Patients already in hospital are at risk of contracting illnesses transmitted by others who come to visit or for medical appointments. In fact, every year, 250,000 Canadians contract a health-care acquired infection. And it is no surprise, since adults touch their face 15.5 times per hour!

Thank you to all sponsors that helped to make Kamloops Bike to Work Week a huge success!

The best way to counteract this is to wash your hands – often! Did you know that Ignaz Semmelweis discovered this in 1847? He found that women delivering their babies in hospital frequently ended up with fatal infections. This was because health-care professionals were moving from case to case without properly cleansing their hands in between. Unthinkable! Semmelweis initiated the practice of hand washing with chlorinated lime and noticed a signicant decline in infection rates.

Here’s how you can help us at RIH: Wash your hands before you come to the hospital and, once here, wash your hands again or use the alcohol-based hand rub (hand sanitizer) that is available around the site. Once you’ve nished your visit or appointment, wash your hands again. Our patients, our staff and ultimately your families will thank you!

Finally, if you are ever wondering whether or not to wash your hands – please always wash them.

I’m sure it was tough starting out way back when, But you started a shop and made sure we were fed.

Oh daddy, oh father, you were young yourself, A beans and toast supper, oh Mom — she did yell.

But you were so cool when you sang to guitar, And, it’s hard to play dad after playing rock star.

Oh daddy, oh father, you learned your own way, Our Saturday cartoons became my favourite day.

You took us out camping and took care of us, And you humbly worked on without making a fuss.

Oh daddy, oh father, gone before I awoke, I never would hear, you snuck off before toast.

Mom drove us to school and how I missed you so, You were gone so early, Dad where did you go?

Oh daddy, oh father, I wanted to play, You were finally home, but for you — what a day!

You sat down on the couch and soon counted sheep, Sawing logs during movies, it was funny to me.

Oh daddy, oh father, the pain in your back, Your hands all banged up and your fingernails black.

You worked all day long for the

JESSICA WALLACE Generation

GAP

bills to be paid, Years of labour — more than a body should take.

Oh daddy, oh father, weekends at the shop, Cartoons weren’t the same and I sure missed my Pop. And, now I know why I didn’t see you as much, You were working that shop, and you did it for us.

Oh daddy, oh father, work sure began tough, Young with a family and nearly bankrupt.

You worked so hard, earned a name for yourself, And taught me integrity has life on a shelf.

Oh daddy, oh father, those I brought to your home, The more people who came, the more food on the stove.

You’d head to bed early, your house you would give, You sacrificed all just so that I could live.

Oh daddy, oh father, camping was less, I wanted a boyfriend, wore a shorter dress.

Daddy’s little girl went out into the

world, But you made sure I phoned, turning woman from girl.

Oh daddy, oh father, those days rolled along, You were working so how could you know I was wrong?

But, you and mom knew and no, I did not, I made some poor choices, your advice I forgot.

Oh daddy, oh father, there were rocky times, I did what I pleased, and I thought it was fine.

My actions blew up, though, after a while.

There were tears, but you brought a stuffed panda for smiles.

Oh daddy, oh father, thanks for all you have done, We’re so close today and we have so much fun.

I’m thankful for all of your work in the past, And I hope you are proud of my own grown-up path.

Oh daddy, oh father, the work that you’d do, I didn’t know it back then when you missed our cartoons.

It’s obvious to me now as I reminisce, You worked so I could have a life like this.

Oh daddy, oh father, I owe life to you, I’m all grown up now and know all that you do.

I see it so clearly when I visit you and mom, Because when we watch movies, now we’re both sawing logs. jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @KTWjess

Nobody wins in this labour dispute With little time left to get a deal done and put the current teachers’ job action to rest before the end of June, we can expect more of everything now that 72 hours’ strike notice has been served by the B.C. Teachers’ Federation.

Teachers are expected to engage in a full-scale strike as of Tuesday, June 17.

With today’s (June 13) rotating strike in Kamloops and no school on Monday, June 16, due to a teachers’ study session, it is possible the school year has ended for all but those high-school students who will write provincial exams.

Education Minister Peter Fessbender reiterated his belief that teachers deserve a raise — just not as large as they want.

BCTF president Jim Iker said the union has presented a new proposal with altered numbers — but, those numbers will not mesh with what the provincial government wants.

Both sides say they are hoping a late agreement can be reached before Tuesday’s full-scale strike, but such a dream seems hopeless at this point.

Watching from the middle of the labour battleground are thousands of students who would far rather be thinking about their futures and how big a role education plays.

Parents and guardians are naturally directly involved and rightfully concerned, but so should everyone be.

The health and effectiveness of our education system, and the climate in which it is run, have a huge impact on our economic and social future.

As we struggle with continual labour management strife, not just between teachers and their employers, our economic competitors in other countries and provinces move ahead.

Our educational system may not be the best in the world, but it’s crucial that it keeps operating while improvements are considered and implemented.

There may be worse times of year for a teachers’ strike, but there is never a good time for one.

The best time for a negotiated settlement to the current impasse is, without question, sooner than later.

WE ASKED

RIVERSIDE PARK NEEDS A GOOSE PATROL

Editor: Between the wasps and tiptoeing through the goose droppings, Riverside Park is becoming a much less attractive destination for a picnic or a visit.

Pioneer Park, which allows dogs, is becoming more attractive all the time.

The Canada goose is a wild creature

and there are millions of them. I fail to see why we have to accommodate them in Riverside.

The city either needs to allow dogs in the park or hire a trainer and dogs to keep Riverside Park human-friendly and one in which kids can play on the beach and on the grass without having to worry about

stepping in goose poo.

Pioneer Park dog owners are very good at cleaning up after their pets and the dogs are great fun to watch chasing balls and swimming into the water to retrieve them.

Editor: Re: Bill Ligertwood’s May 20 Rational Thoughts column (‘Amped up about the Arctic Apple’) and Stephen Hurst’s June 6 response in a letter to the editor (‘Nothing Rational about embracing modified Arctic Apple’): Hurst correctly suggests in his letter that “perhaps what we should be wondering is not why people are getting emotional, but why they are not getting emotional about what is being done to their food.�

The disruption of our food system as we knew it before chemicals and GMO is of concern to the whole global community.

Fifty years ago, we didn’t need to name ordinary, good food as “organic.�

It just was.

Today, more than 90 per cent of corn and soy crops in the U.S. are genetically engineered and their presence in processed foods is ubiquitous.

A Canadian relative of mine is producing GMO canola crops for canola oil.

We should question every package of food on the shelves and even consider the source of the fruit and vegetables we feed our children.

kamloopsthisweek.com

Unlike Europe, where foods are labeled by law to show if they contain GMO, that is not required in the U.S. or Canada, so most people in this country are eating them without knowing it — and have been for years.

Since food is our medicine, we have the right to know what changes have been made to it.

This subject is worth our research.

The state of Vermont has recently legislated labelling of foods that contain GMO ingredients.

In an historic move in Jackson County, Ore., residents have now voted for an outright ban on the growing of genetically engineered crops.

The measure passed with 66 per cent voting in favour.

This despite the fact proponents for the ban raised only $375,000, while the opposition raised nearly $1 million.

The voice of organics, the people’s right to choose, is finally being heard.

Despite the term “scientific,� as applied to genetic modification (splicing of tomato with fish, anyone?)

scientists the world over are questioning the actions of Monsanto and supporters, with their invasion of the natural system of food production and unproven safety r ecords.

Because you can’t always trust the label “natural,� you would be wise to buy at farmers’ markets and/or look for authentic organic seals.

Ask questions.

Buy local.

It’s cheaper than hospital time.

COVER PAGE STORY

‘We learn something new every day’

By Jessica Wallace STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Rose Delap, 78, reaches for a paintbrush alongside nineyear-olds Bailin Li and Exton Harding.

“You want a hairy-looking brush,” she tells the two Grade 4 students.

She dabs the brush into some water and into the brown watercolour pallet, then blots the brush on the page, tilting the paper and blowing drips in different directions, creating a tree trunk of many shades.

“Happy accidents are the secret of water colour,” she tells the boys.

“We learn something new every day,” Li said, though Delap insists she’s the one learning.

Li and Harding were part of about 30 students who attended the Kamloops Seniors Village during a new I2I Intergenerational Immersion program that concluded on Friday, May 23.

The program was designed to bring the two generations together.

For the youngsters, it’s a mentorship opportunity. For the seniors, it’s a boost of youthful energy around the property and a chance to share their experience.

For both generations, it’s about building relationships they may not have in their lives along with compassion for each age group.

Sarah Sandholm, Kamloops Seniors Village recreation manager, said the social program is a unique way of building resilience among seniors.

“It’s outside the box,” she said.“It’s not bingo.”

The program was started by Retirement Concepts, the company behind the Kamloops Seniors Village and several other retire-

ment homes across the province.

About 20 other retirement complexes are involved in the project that began in Williams Lake and expanded this year.

The local partnership is between the Aberdeen retirement home and School District 73’s Kamloops Public Montessori at Aberdeen elementary.

A mixed-grade class of Grade 4, 5 and 6 students began their visits in the fall, slowly introduced into the home beginning with one-hour, two-hour and one-day visits, eventually leading up to the recent two-week visit.

About eight seniors got involved at the Kamloops Seniors Village.

Delap volunteered her background in art — about 50 years of practising and teaching.

She enjoyed the additional company at the home, being that her family lives in Scotland.

She had a stroke in 2011, and her hand isn’t 100 per cent but, she still knows her way around a canvas. She said she’s enjoyed sharing her experience with the students.

“It’s fun — you make friends,” Delap said.

Students attended regular les-

sons, mingled with seniors and performed general duties around the property.

The kids arrived around 9 a.m. each day for their lesson, took a brief recess and then spent an hour and a half with the seniors — doing crafts, baking, learning history or going for a picnic — until lunch.

After lunch, they took turns completing services — sweeping the patio, wiping down furniture or taking out recycling. Then, they attended another lesson and read with the seniors on the patio before heading back to school.

The students’ teacher, Jennifer Elliot, said the retirement home designated a room for their lessons.

She said the students loved the extended field trip and that the program fits the montessori program’s practical philosophy.

“It’s something that you can’t teach in a classroom,” Elliot said.

She said parent feedback has been positive and she’d like to see the program continue next year.

Sandholm agreed.

She said the program will likely return after assessing feedback.

Kamloops escort has doubts about Bill C-36

By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

One longtime Kamloops escort expects proposed federal legislation aimed at people like her will end up back in the court system — and be overturned yet again.

The woman said Bill C-36, introduced by Justice Minister Peter Mackay “was expected,” noting advocacy groups are already working on a rebuttal.

The proposed law would ban the purchase of sex and add restrictions to the sale of sex by prostitutes.

The Kamloops escort said Bill C-36 is really addressing about 20 per cent of those in her business — with the majority not working the streets, but out of houses or in outcalls to other locations — and the legislation “is just pushing it underground.”

The woman said the $20 million the federal government plans to make available to help people leave the sex trade is good, but questions its application.

“We can’t just go get a job,” she said. “Some of the women are in it because they have no skills. It’s demeaning, sure, but what’s more demeaning than not being able to support your family?”

She also questioned whether agencies applying for the money will be able to effect change, noting many of the nonprofits “are barely keeping their heads above water.”

The woman added that, if the money only goes to agencies like ASK Wellness, which operates programs for prostitutes, it will not likely help the majority who are like her and not working the streets.

“Eighty-five per cent of the sex trade is girls like me and girls who

advertise online and in the [news]papers,” she said.

She noted the PEERS program on Vancouver Island, one that did what the federal government said it wants to see done, had its funding cut by the provincial government earlier this year, losing half of the money provided to operate its pre-employment and counselling programs.

The woman said most in her business “want to do this more safely” and she criticized police raids on johns because they also traumatize the women caught up in the stings.

She forwarded to KTW an email from Chris Atchison of the department of sociology at the University of Victoria.

In it, he questioned the process followed in

creating the bill, something that was necessitated by the Supreme Court of Canada striking down existing legislation and giving the government one year to come up with a new one.

In his email, Atchison said “the main concern is that the government has not adequately listened to and included the voices of people currently involved in the sex trade and they

appear to have ignored the wealth of academic research on prostitution that has been conducted in Canada over the past 30 years.”

The Kamloops escort also expressed doubt even Mackay expects the bill to be passed as it now exists.

“I think this is like when you’re in a car accident and dealing with a stingy insurance company,” she said.

“They initially suggest a ridiculously small figure and, eventually, it gets settled somewhere in between that and what would be fair.

“The government thought, ‘Let’s come up with the worst bill possible without actually outlawing the sale of sexual services and then the opposition and the public etc will be happy with anything less horrible than it.’”

Martin not yet extradited

By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

In May, Colin Martin was ordered extradited to the U.S. to face drug-related charges there. He is now on bail while appealing the extradition order.

Dave Eagles/KTW

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Shuswap man believed by American authorities to be a crossborder drug kingpin has been granted bail pending the appeal of his extradition to Seattle.

Colin Hugh Martin was granted bail in Vancouver last week while his extradition is appealed.

In May, a B.C. Supreme Court judge ruled Martin should be sent to the U.S. to face charges for conspiracy to traffic in cocaine.

U.S. prosecutors allege Martin, who lives in Malakwa, ran a sophisticated, largescale smuggling ring that saw millions of dollars worth of marijuana, cocaine, MDMA and firearms transported by helicopter between B.C. and remote locations in northern Idaho and Washington state.

Court heard Martin would hire people in B.C. to load the helicopters with as much as $5-million worth of marijuana or MDMA, then pay pilots to fly the choppers to pre-determined locations across

the U.S.-Canada border.

The haul of B.C. bud or pills would allegedly be unloaded by a ground crew in the U.S., and cocaine, firearms and money would be loaded into the helicopter for transport back to Canada.

Court heard Martin’s crews made approximately three crossborder trips every two weeks.

The smuggling operation is linked to the February 2009 death of Samuel Lindsay-Brown.

The 24-year-old Nelson native was piloting one of the choppers linked to the smuggling ring and was arrested after landing with 400 pounds of marijuana in Washington state. He later hanged himself in a Spokane jail cell.

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency

investigation into the operation resulted in multiple arrests on both sides of the border.

According to U.S. court documents, Martin offered in 2009 to make a deal with the DEA that would see him roll on other smugglers in exchange for the opportunity to continue his trafficking business unimpeded for 10 years.

Authorities did not accept his offer.

In 2006, Martin was sentenced to serve

two-and-a-half years behind bars after being convicted of Canadian charges stemming from another cross-border drug-smuggling ring.

American prosecutors have charged Martin with conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute.

They want him to stand trial in Seattle.

Martin was arrested after he was ordered extradited on May 9.

He was granted bail largely because of the health of his wife, who has a heart condition, and her inability to care for the couple’s seven children.

Martin has been ordered to abide by a 10 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. curfew while on bail and will be forced to allow police to search his home at any time.

It’s not known when his appeal will be heard.

What’s in a derby name?

By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

adam@Kamloopsthisweek.com

T

HE NAMES represent their alter egos, a means of differentiating the woman in roller skates from the one working the day job.

They stroll into McArthur Island Curling Club as Yvonne, Kerry, Krystin and Amanda, becoming Yvonne the Terrible, Bangers and Smash, Suzy Bruisemaker and Ram Bumptious as they cross the threshold.

These are The Deadlies of the Tournament City Derby Dolls.

“With the resurgence of modern roller derby

in Texas in 2003-2004, they decided to continue on the tradition of having pseudonyms, skating under pseudonyms, as a way to expand into an alter ego and be bigger than life on the track,” said Amanda Scott, also known as Ram Bumptious.

“There has been some arguments for switching to our normal names, like most sports, to be taken more seriously, but most roller girls these days figure that if people see them on the track, they’re not going to not take them seriously.

“We train hard. We play hard.”

The selection of a name is a monumental moment for new roller

derbyers — like it or not, the name will stick as long as they’re with the sport.

Some nicknames are of the owner’s making, while teammates or family members christen others.

“My entire family, except for my immediate family, actually lives in Belfast, Ireland,” said Kerry Caldwell, also known as Bangers and Smash. “So, when I put it out there looking for a name, it was actually my cousin, Aaron, that gave me that name and it just clicked.

“It’s kid-friendly, but aggressive.”

No matter how they come by the name, though, when they

strap on the skates, they become the persona.

Nearly as entertaining as the names themselves are the stories of how they came to be.

“My hair was purple and my maiden name was Kushner,” said Dana Shaw, a.k.a. Purple Kush.

“My middle name is Lynn and Tootsee is for Tootsee Roll, from the song in the 80s, because they know I like to dance,” said Josie Bennett, Tootsee RollLynn.

“My derby name is Tenacious DDs, but my number is 8008 so everyone just calls me boob,” said Karen Hungar.

“One, I have a really big crush on Jack Black,

so for Tenacious D, and then boobs, obviously, for double-Ds.” The Deadlies strapped on the pads and took to the track on Tuesday, June 10, practising in preparation for their upcoming home bout on Saturday, June 21.

Their desire to win is matched only by their larger-than-life personas.

“You get to leave everything else in your real life behind and you get to put who you want to be on the track, as your alter ego onto the track,” said Yvonne Dmyterko, Yvonne the Terrible.

“So, that’s who you get to bring to a practice, you get to bring to a bout.”

PREMIER-LEAGUE FOOTY

KAMLOOPS’ FINEST GOLF COURSE

Rangers clinging to playoff lives

By Stephen Whyno CANADIAN PRESS

After feeling satisfied about his team’s play in three losses to open the Stanley Cup final, New York Rangers’ coach Alain Vigneault could easily empathize with the Los Angeles Kings when the roles were reversed in Game 4. “It was a real tough game, I think, for L.A,’’ Vigneault said. “It was probably their best game of the playoffs that they’ve played against us.’’ And it was a loss, as the Kings failed to finish off the sweep thanks to 40 saves by Henrik Lundqvist, one by Anton Stralman and one by a combination of snow built up in the crease and Derek Stepan.

That the Rangers needed so much luck and strong goaltending only underscored just how dominant Los Angeles was.

Just don’t tell the results-oriented Kings that.

The self-criticism was turned up despite outshooting the Rangers 41-19. “At the end of the day, we weren’t good enough to win,’’ captain Dustin Brown said. “It’s about finding a way to be better.’’ The chance to do that comes in Friday’s (June 13) Game 5 back at Staples Center in Los Angeles with the Kings still in command of the series and the Cup waiting nearby.

Game time is 5 p.m.

After Game 4 at Madison Square Garden, it didn’t feel as though the Kings were on the cusp of the title, like it did after they went up three games to none.

All around the visiting locker-room there was talk about what areas needed to be better, from start to finish. “We still probably

could play better for a full game,’’ fourth-line centre Mike Richards said. “It took us a little bit to get into it again for whatever reason.’’ A turnover off the opening faceoff by leading Conn Smythe Trophy candidate Drew Doughty was an inauspicious start, but the Kings still had the lion’s share of chances.

No time was that more evident than in the third period, when the Kings shelled Lundqvist to the tune of 15 shots to New York’s one, which didn’t come until almost 13 minutes had elapsed. “We had some good chances in the third,’’ Brown said. “We have to put ourselves in better situations.’’ While the Kings gave Lundqvist his due for stonewalling them, they put the onus on themselves to get better scoring chances moving forward in the series.

Quality, not quantity.

“I think we can do a better job getting to him,’’ centre Anze Kopitar said. “I think [there were] a couple of times where we didn’t make it tough on him.

The pucks were sitting there. But the pucks he’s going to see, he’s going to stop.

Having reached the final by coming back from a 3-0 series deficit against the San Jose Sharks and needing seven games in the other two series, the Kings know what to expect energy-wise from the Rangers tonight.

But an even bigger help would be fixing any holes that have kept the Kings from polishing things off. “We could still do some better things for a more consistent period of time,’’ Richards said. “We’ll look at it. Watch some video and correct a couple of things and put our best foot forward.’’

Midget hockey girls skating to Vernon

By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The female midget AAA hockey team formerly known as the Thompson-Okanagan Rockets has finalized its move to the Vernon Minor Hockey Association (it previously played in Kelowna).

With the move comes a name change — from the Rockets to the Lakers.

The Rockets had five Kamloops players on the roster in 2013-2014 — forwards Squwey Gottfriedsen and Lindsey Rose, defenders Taylor Finnie and Courtney Morice and goaltender Emma Gottfriedson.

The future of the Rockets was in doubt earlier this year when Kelowna made a January announcement it would not host the team beyond the 2013-2014 season.

Weeks of uncertainty ended in May, when BC Hockey settled on Vernon as the team’s new home.

“They’re a good organization. They’re one of our members who has worked with us in the past and has expressed an interest in the past in hosting teams,” said BC Hockey executive director Barry Petrachenko.

He said while the governing body was originally concerned with ice availability in Vernon, the association has allayed those fears.

Petrachenko hasn’t received feedback from parents or organizers

The Rockets will move to Vernon in September and adopt the Lakers nickname.

It remains to be seen if the Ogopogo logo also makes the trip.

since announcing the team’s move.

When KTW spoke with the Rockets earlier this year, following Kelowna’s withdrawal as host, former head coach Terry Olfert was among a number of people critical of how the situation was being handled by the governing body.

Olfert is no longer with the team, having accepted another coaching position.

New head coach Mark Henderson could not be reached for comment.

“I think there’s a desire for us to be more involved,” Petrachenko said, asserting that female hockey is a priority for BC Hockey.

“We’re completely committed to it.”

He said the female midget league has struggled since inception as a result of its organizational structure. The league combines the branch-run system, as in the male B.C. Major Midget

League, and the club-run system used in minor hockey associations.

“The hybrid has given us some challenges, for sure,” he said.

“I think that where parents and players are maybe critical at times, is they feel as though we’re not giving everything that we could. But, in a way, we’re giving what we were asked to give and not sure that hybrid setup is working.

“Those are part of the steps we’re going to be taking.

“We don’t have any immediate quick fixes, but we’re working on long-term planning and will be over the course of this summer and into this fall to put into place within the league.”

Petrachenko said BC Hockey will continue to work at growing the

female side of the game in the province.

His hope is the move to Vernon will bring fresh ideas and renewed excitement for the club, which finished last season in third place, ultimately falling to the Fraser Valley Phantom in the league championship.

“It’s always difficult to move a team in this type of scenario because we’re dealing with a zone team obviously and that type of setup is difficult enough — so moving is not our first choice,” he said.

“We are working hard to get the female midget league up to a level that we want it to be at and we’re going to continue to work through this season on some improvements, working with the groups within the league to make them better.”

This program is jointly sponsored by Kamloops Crime Stoppers and Kamloops This Week.

People featured are wanted on arrest warrants not vacated as of 3 p.m. on June 11, 2014.

SUSPECT VEHICLE SEEN In the early morning of Thursday June 5th the owner of a residences on the 1300 block of Hillside Drive was woken up by the truck alarm, he looked out of his house and could see a male sitting in the front seat of the vehicle. The homeowner yelled and the male got out of his truck and jumped

into a dark coloured Ford truck that was waiting for him. The male was wearing highly visible coveralls, the direction of travel was unknown.

Although the alarm and the owner scared off the suspect this time, the best prevention is not to leave any valuables in the vehicles and not to become a victim.

In the early morning of Tuesday May 27th, thieves cut locks to a gate, then forced their way to a locked shed on a rural property in the Rose Hill area. These suspects stolen two saddles and a small air compressor from the shed. A black truck was seen leaving the area. The following night, two suspects were arrested in a black truck with property from various people in the area. Of course these thieves had no knowledge of the where the saddles are and were

not cooperative at all with the police.

The one saddle is an older general purpose western style, well wore but in good shape. The other saddle, is an expensive “Billy Cook” roping saddle, the serial number has been recorded on the police computer system along with bridles, and a full length brown Kula oil skin coat .

There are not many people that could use these saddles and we hope that the honest people of the horse world, would call the police or

These thieves are causing problems throughout the City, if you have any information on who is breaking into these vehicles or may have seen the suspect truck, please contact Crime Stoppers, you will receive a cash reward upon the arrest of the suspect.

On June 10, 2014, Archie Wayne McConechy passed away peacefully at the Victoria Hospital in Prince Albert, SK at the age of 73. Wayne was born on November 21, 1940 in Shoal Lake, MB to Archie and Peggy McConechy. His early years were spent in small Saskatchewan towns, before his family finally settled in Kamloops, BC. After high school, Wayne decided to embark on a career of law enforcement and joined the RCMP.

A few years later, he accepted a position as a Judicial Officer in the Saskatchewan Provincial Courts, a position which he held until his retirement in 2000. Retirement allowed Wayne to pursue his love of golfing and he would often be found golfing on Fairview Fairways with Peggy or one of his many friends.

Wayne will be remembered for many things, including his strong work ethic, his sense of integrity, his unwavering commitment to family and friends, and his razor sharp wit. His love of trivia and of his various collections, his photographic memory, his gift of organization, his love of good music, and his witty “Wayne”isms will be greatly missed.

McGowan students can’t wait to blast off

By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

A project created by four boys in Sharmane Baerg’s Grade 6/7 class at McGowan Park elementary is headed into outer space.

The experiment — one that tests microgravity in space — was chosen after an extensive competition among Kamloops-Thompson district schools for the chance to take part in the Student Space Flight Experiments Program run by the National Center for Earth and Space Science Education.

Baerg’s class was one of three finalists chosen last month for consideration.

The project investigates crystal growth in the kind of microgravity environment on the International Space Station (ISS), the ultimate destination of the experiment.

Others considered were by a Grade5/6 class at Kay Bingham elementary and a Grade 5 class at Bert Edwards science and technology school.

The four students at McGowan are in Grade 7, Berg said, and are excited to have their work chosen, but not happy about having to wait for lift-off The experiment is likely to bast off either in the fall or next spring.

Not-so-happy trails to Halston-Ranch group

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A community group looking to build a trail between the Halston Connector and the Tournament Capital Ranch in Rayleigh won’t see the city take up the cause any time soon.

In March, the Kamloops to Tournament Capital Ranch committee asked council to conduct a feasibility study on a proposed 14-kilometre gravel trail that would run alongside Highway 5 North.

At the time, committee co-chairman Gerry Olund told council the trail would be an improvement for cyclists and pedestrians who must walk or ride on the shoulder of the highway, a situation he described as “pretty precarious.”

However, city staff told council this week that a trail in that area is a low-priority and would be extremely difficult to build if the Tk’emlups Indian

Band isn’t interested in contributing land and dollars to the project.

Engineering manager Deven Matkowski said the city already has a trail planned from Rayleigh to Heffley Creek that would overlap with some of what the committee has proposed, but noted it’s one of the lowest priorities on the city’s trails master plan and would cost about $2 million.

While council could move the trail up the priority list, it chose not to do so.

chemical reactions that turn two liquids into a solid and designed their experiment around that.

They discovered along the way that liquids they chose became a fluffy snowflake-like solid if they came together quickly, but more needlelike if a filter was added to slow the chemical process.

There were 20 classrooms in 10 elementary schools in the competition, just the second time a Canadian school has been chosen to send an experiment into space through the organization.

“It is unfortunate that only one experiment can be sent to the ISS, as there were a great many great ideas submitted by student teams

for consideration.” said Paul Hembling, chairman of the school district’s organization committee.

“It just goes to show you what awesome science kids are capable of when they are given the right direction and, in this case, some very special motivation.”

There is a cost to the project.

Each district must raise $25,000 to help cover the cost of sending the project into space, likely later this year.

Donations can still be made through any district school — include a note it is for the space project — or by calling Hembling at 250-376-2205.

My son bought this Ford 250 from me several years ago. My wife insisted I sell it to him.

He paid it off promptly (he was 19 at the time) and over the last couple of years, fixed it up pretty! Unfortunately while in Kamloops at the Accent Inn for a dirt bike ride at Greenstone Mtn, several weeks ago. His truck, our two motor bikes (Honda 450 and KTM 300) and all of our gear were stolen. He heard the thief drive off and it was gone like that! If you can help us, we would greatly appreciate your assistance. Reward for the right information.

The court says justice has been met But I will never forgive for forget.

I struggle to move on without you Each day trying to make it through.

People tell me that I’m so strong But I know my real strength is gone.

Although I force myself to get up each day I no longer have the energy to play.

Foreign-investment rules hurt oil sands: report CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rules imposed on foreign state-owned investment in the oilsands are having some unintended consequences in the oilpatch, according to a new study by the University of Calgaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School of Public Policy.

The report analyzes share prices of oilsands companies since the regulations were announced in December 2012.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when the Harper government approved Chineseowned CNOOC Ltd.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $15-billion takeover of Calgary-based Nexen Inc., but imposed limitations on further ownership of oilsands resources by state-owned firms.

The study shows that between the announcement and March of this year, the value of oilsands stocks were about 20 per cent lower than what would have otherwise been expected.

For junior firms, it was about a 30 per cent hit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The findings of this paper indicate the federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policy change has resulted in the material destruction of shareholder wealth,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; the studyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

authors wrote.

The biggest impact has been on junior oilsands companies, the stock prices of which dropped by as much as 50 per cent in the first half of 2013, diverging greatly from where oil prices and the wider stock market were heading at the time.

Senior and intermediate players showed steadier performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a significant cost and that cost is borne disproportionately by juniors,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Eugene Beaulieu, director of the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s international economics program, said in an interview.

The study was co-authored

by Matthew Saunders, a senior analyst with early-stage oilsands firm Laricina Energy.

Small oilsands companies rely on outside investment to grow their operations much more than their larger counterparts.

Much of that financing comes from joint ventures in which a partner buys a ownership stake in a project and reaps a proportionate share of its returns.

In theory, those types of deals are still allowed under Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

new rules, provided the foreign state-owned entity doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have control.

Put in practice, that investment seems to be slowing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Joint ventures and other kinds of investments that werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t targeted by the policy have been affected,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said Beaulieu. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t intended by the policy, but it seems to be having that effect.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Beaulieu said he understands the need for the Investment Canada Act to address concerns about foreign ownership of Canadian resources.

But, a lack of clarity over how those restrictions are applied is scaring away investment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That uncertainty creates consequences for the investment climate,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to have transparent and clear rules on how it operates and I think targeting ownership instead of targeting behaviour is not the right approach.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Citing figures from the Canadian Energy Research Institute, the studyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s authors say about $100 billion in investment will be needed in the oilsands over the next five years.

EMPLOYEE PRICING

CF-18 homework done, panel says OTTAWA — Federal officials have sought to demonstrate how much work has been done to replace Canada’s aging CF-18 jets, but say the details of the evaluation will be kept secret while cabinet weighs whether to continue with the oft-maligned F-35 program.

Members of an independent panel that looked at what fighter aircraft are available as replacements for the 30-year-old Hornets made a public appearance to emphasize the depth and impartiality of their assessment, 14 months in the making.

That analysis, which essentially fact-checks the air force’s market evaluation, has been turned over to the government.

It lays out what each of the four contenders can do.

Separately, a committee of deputy ministers overseeing the replacement program has handed a recommendation to cabinet.

The government could continue with the F-35 program, which has been on hold. It could choose an open competition involving the stealth fighter and other aircraft, including the Boeing Super Hornet, Eurofighter’s Typhoon, Dassault’s Rafale and, possibly, the Saab Gripen.

RCMP collecting gifts for slain Mounties

MONCTON, N.B. — Mounties say they will collect

NNATIONAL NEWS all the flowers, gifts and notes that people have left at RCMP detachments throughout New Brunswick in memory of the three officers who were killed last week in Moncton.

A large makeshift memorial was set up outside the Codiac detachment in Moncton in the days after the June 4 deaths of constables Fabrice Georges Gevaudan, Douglas James Larche and Dave Joseph Ross.

Three maple trees were among the gifts placed in front of the detachment, and the RCMP says one will be planted at the home of each of the families of the officers.

The Mounties say any item that can be saved will also be preserved for those families.

BBM conversations intercepted by police

MONTREAL — Police in Quebec say they used intercepted BlackBerry communications to take down two alleged organized crime groups operating in the province.

RCMP said more than one million private PIN-to-PIN messages were intercepted and analyzed as evidence as part of an

operation dubbed Clemenza.

Officials from the RCMP and Montreal Police said it is the first time this investigative technique has been used on such a large scale in a criminal investigation.

PIN messaging allows BlackBerry users to send messages directly between devices over wireless networks, bypassing email servers.

The arrests are aimed at dismantling two cells that police say took over after Operation Colisee seven years ago, an operation aimed at their predecessors.

Police described the cells as linked to Italian-based organized crime in Montreal.

Police said they arrested 31 people in Montreal, Quebec City, Laval and Gatineau.

They’d originally said they were looking for 32 people, but have since added two more names to their list.

Three people remain on the lam.

Some 200 officers took part in the operation under the guidance of the RCMP’s Quebec detachment.

The accused face different charges that include gangsterism, conspiracy, drug importation, trafficking, possession, kidnapping, forcible confinement, possession of weapons and explosives, arson, extortion and assault.

Music returns to the parks this summer

By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

W

ITH SUMMER starting to show signs of return, Kamloopsians know it’s almost time for another seasonal feature — Music in the Park.

It’s pointless to ask organizer Henry Small how many years the annual music-fest has been running — it’s been going for so long he can’t remember.

His lapse of memory could possibly be the result of all the details required to provide free music every single night of the summer at Riverside Park and every Friday night at McDonald

Park, starting on July 2 and ending on Aug. 31.

That’s a lot of music.

For Small, the work begins early in the year, contacting bands, answering emails from those who want to perform, learning about new musicians he’s considering or who want to add Kamloops to their summer tour and starting to fill in the two-month schedule.

Not every performer who wants to be part is accepted, Small said, and the reasons for that can vary. There are local bands that figure they should be booked just because they’re from the area, but the goal of the festival is to bring in unique and new along with the familiar.

ALSO INSIDE

Turn to page B3 for a sneak peak at an upcoming act from this year’s Music in the Park. And, turn to page B8 for this year’s full schedule.

The music also has to be family-friendly since anyone can bring their lawn chair or blanket down to the parks and take in a night of music.

That’s why this year’s schedule includes local favourites like Paul Filek, the Kamloops Big Band and Spencer’s Dirty Matadors, but also has Glorious Sons, Compassion Gorilla and Sean Ashby. Some acts will be original, but there will be cover bands, too, because Kamloopsians have shown

through the years they love to hear the next-best-thing-tooriginal.

Signing acts requires negotiations and finding a fee that is fair to the performers, but still fits into the budget.

Small said being a musician helps him come to terms with the acts, but acknowledged he doesn’t make much money from Music in the Park.

For him, it’s the love of music and having the ability to bring it to the city he

calls home.

Asked about the future of the event, Small is frank.

He’s hoping to find someone to start working with him so he can eventually step back from the day-to-day details.

For now, however, it’s a waiting game and then the stress when each day arrives.

Sometimes bands are on time; sometimes they run late or are difficult to reach by phone.

And, yes, sometimes there are no-shows — and that’s when Small will gather together local musicians and fill that void.

Because, in the end, for Small, the show must always go on.

SATURDAY, JUNE 14 O FARMERS’ MARKET: the Kamloops Farmers’ Market will take place on the 200 block of St. Paul St. from 8 a.m. until 12:30 p.m.

Tyler among Music in the Park headline acts

By Dale Bass

STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

It was a moment that will remain pretty high up on the wow side of Jarrod Tyler’s music career.

Through a friend, he’d managed to get into the same studio where the Beach Boys recorded their 11th studio album — Pet Sounds, a recording that has been recognized as one of the most influential of all time.

“I’m using the same piano that they used,” Tyler said. “I’m sitting where Brian Wilson sat. There’s the same Hammond organ there.

“It was a little intimidating, too. I’m at the grand piano and I look up and I’m in Brian Wilson’s studio. It was kind of a trip, really, really great experience.”

In many ways, Tyler was destined to make music his life’s work.

He was one of those kids who didn’t mind practising his scales and chords. He said yes when mom added the violin to his musical mix.

Eventually, Tyler found himself tinkling those ivories to Beatles songs — and his love of music continued to grow.

Tyler did what all burgeoning musicians do and hit the road, heading due south from his hometown of Vancouver to Los Angeles, where he found plenty of work playing piano.

And, he moved off

of covers, writing his own music and finding his sound compared to that of Billy Joel or a mellow Paul McCartney.

Soon, there was a band backing him — and the gigs continued to come, almost to the point they started to interfere with touring.

“I would love to go tour around Canada but I keep getting booked here in town,” Tyler said, referring to Vancouver venues such as Falconetti’s, The Cellar and The Roxy.

The Jarrod Tyler Band is headed to Kamloops this summer for an Aug. 16 gig at Music in the Park.

Jarrod Tyler Band will be among the many live musical acts performing this summer during Music in the Park in Kamloops.

New album in the works for Tyler X From B3

Tyler likened songwriting to fishing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;some days, you can sit there all day and not catch anythingâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but, when the muse moves, he takes his creation to the rest of the band and they massage it into what will make it onto a set list.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new CD getting ready to drop, as well; Tyler said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about to be mastered

and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoping to have it available by later summer or early fall.

His music has made it onto television, with shows on the Fox and ABC networks licensing some of it to use. Often, he never knows where it might show up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Someone told me one of my songs was in some documentary, as well. I never got to see it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of cool;

you always wish that that happens.â&#x20AC;?

Tyler is looking forward to the trip north to the River City â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or, in his mind, the mountain-bike city as heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spent a lot of time â&#x20AC;&#x153;on the beautiful trails up there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have bike trails here,â&#x20AC;? he said of his hometown, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but those trails, you go on and on and on.â&#x20AC;?

Three, Small Miracles earn top spots The Kamloops Film Society has awarded three films from the annual Kamloops Independent Short Short Film festival.

The films were chosen by a jury and the Thompson-Nicola Film Commission.

Three by Kaisha Bicknell earned first-place honours, Small Miracles

by Loyd Bishop was second and See you Soon by Stephen Casson nabbed third.

The youth prize was awarded to Last Fall by Kora Vanderlip and the

audience favourite was Stopping Stephen Harper by Tim Unaegbu.

In addition to these winners chosen by the Kamloops Film Society, the Thompson-Nicola Film Commission awarded two additional prizes. Both of them went to Small Miracles for representation of the commission and, randomly, for support and participation in regional film.

Duckworth said the city lost $2,000 that afternoon.

Downtown visitors paying for their parking by credit card also send financial data to a server bank in Toronto.

Financial information doesn’t leave the country.

While this was the first time a server issue downed the new parking machines, it may not be the last.

“They’ve told us it’s happened before, but it’s not common,” said Duckworth.

“My understanding is it goes to France,” said David Duckworth, the city’s director of corporate services and community safety.

While Precise ParkLink, which supplies the pay stations, has a Canadian arm based in Toronto, the company is French, as are its servers.

Those same French servers led to an afternoon of free parking on Wednesday, June 4,

Nature, history abound on Georgia’s south coast

By John Geary

SPECIAL TO KTW travelwriterstales.com

A

t first glance, it looks like just a log floating near the right shore of Georgia’s slow-moving Mayhall River. But, as we paddle closer in our kayaks, I realize my eyes are playing tricks on me.

It’s an alligator.

Something catches the corner of my eye on the left. I quickly turn my head and see water ripple where something has just disappeared.

Glancing in the direction the ripple seemed to be heading, I’m rewarded with another gator sighting as its head pops up about 10 yards away.

Awesome!

We’re just 10 minutes out from the lodge on Eagle Island, paddling with guide Dan Cressette of Altamaha Coastal Tours, our morning adventure off to a good start. The island is one of a series of coastal islands off the south coast of Georgia, just a few hours from Jacksonville, Florida, Fla. Alligators are not the only wildlife keeping us company. We spot a boat-tailed grackle, the first of many of the shorebird species we’ll see.

Eventually, we reach a junction with the Darien River, paddling a short distance along its waters to Escape Island, a spot favoured for camping. We’re not stopping for that long, though, just for a break and a natural-history

Paddling down the Postle Creek input in a kayak is one of the many nature-oriented attractions to be experienced on Georgia’s south coast. John Geary

lesson from our guide.

This part of the world has a very interesting mix of plants and animals as it’s a transition zone, a border between northern and southern forests, so both exotic deciduous and coniferous trees call it home. Georgia boasts plenty of swamps and jungle-like areas — but we also find yucca plants on this island, along with cedar trees along with short-leaf pine trees.

After our interpretive talk ends, we take advantage of the incoming tide to use a shortcut, paddling through some tall grasses where 10 minutes before, there had been no channel.

This takes us back

IF YOU GO

ACCOMMODATIONS: Eagle Island offers secluded rustic luxury in its lodge. Owner Andy Hill can help you set up with kayaking, fishing and other adventures, using the lodge as a base. Go online to http://www.privateislandsofgeorgia.com/eagle-island.

On St. Simon’s Island, the King and Prince Beach Resort (kingandprince.com) provides access to many adventures and also offers a spa, a golf course and other amenities.

KAYAKING: Altamaha Coastal Tours (altamaha.com) provide kayaks and guide service for St. Simon’s and Tybee islands and Savannah, 912-437-6010.

GETTING THERE: The nearest international airport is in Jacksonville, about a two-hour drive from the islands. Air Canada and Westjet both fly there.

to the Mayhall without having to go back the way we came along the Darien.

Paddling back to the lodge, we spy numerous herons and cormorants — and plenty of fish, too: mullets jump out of the river and even a garfish shows itself.

Ten minutes away from

the lodge, I call out, “’Gator at 12 o’clock!” as Cressette touches paddles with me and says, “Good spot!”

We paddle past, watching just his nostrils and eyes sticking above the surface of the water.

Pulling back up to the dock, I spy a turkey

vulture circling overhead.

Not this time, Mr. Vulture. We all made it back in one piece. **** A few days later, I find myself embarking on another kayak

adventure in Georgia, this time with Southeast Adventures on St. Simon’s Island.

Our group paddles into Postle Creek, a salt marsh that eventually takes us out to the ocean. We wind back and forth in the narrow channel, hearing the distinct “oka-dee!” call of red-winged blackbirds. Sometimes we get lucky and even spot one, along with an occasional egret, looking for fish for breakfast.

Along the way, we learn about The Battle of Bloody Marsh fought here in 1742 between the British and Spanish, who both claimed the area as their own. The British repulsed the

Spanish and eventually won control of St. Simon’s Island.

The Spanish still held Florida, but eventually surrendered it to Britain at the end of the French and Indian War in 1763.

As we paddle out of the marsh and into Gould’s Inlet, we fight our own battle against a stiff wind and an opposing current, allies in an attempt to try to push us back. But, like the British, we win the day and make our way out to a small island with a nice beach for some lazy beachcombing.

It feels good to get out of the kayaks and stretch our legs, enjoying the warmth of the day.

Willets scurry around on the sand and we see plenty of hermit crab holes in our wandering — but no crabs.

Again, some of the vegetation reminds me of the contrasts in this land that’s not quite temperate, yet not quite tropical, not quite wetland, but not really desert: cacti peek up through the sands all along the island.

As I climb out of the kayak at our takeout point, I reflect that, while we may think of swamps when we hear Georgia mentioned, it is really a land of transition, a land of many surprises, even along its coastal islands.
