Eagle eyes lead to rapid river rescue By Adam Williams STAFF REPORTER

When Cecile McVittie and husband Mark saw a woman with a walker approaching the North Thompson River, they knew something was wrong. A few minutes later, the woman, estimated by Cecile to be in her 50s, was in the water and Kamloops Fire and Rescue was on its way. “My husband had just come home for a quick lunch,” Cecile said of the Tuesday, June 24, incident. “We finished lunch and we were walking into the living room and I happened to see a woman with a walker trying to go down a path on the river bank, just in front of out house, that nobody should attempt with a walker.” The path is steep and not one one that is generally navigated by pedestrians, Cecile said, noting it would be especially dangerous for someone with mobility issues. Mark grabbed his shoes and went out the door of their Schubert Drive home as the woman disappeared from sight. She was in the water and Mark signalled for Cecile to call 911. X See FIREFIGHTER A6

Parents and students anxious to see how the 2013-2014 academic year went may be in for a long wait — report cards aren’t likely to be coming home any time soon. And, even if report cards did arrive and tell students whether they needed summer school, that option to upgrade before September is in jeopardy with the teachers’ union decision yesterday to picket summer-school sites if the strike continues. With no end in sight to the ongoing labour dispute between the B.C. Teacher’s Federation (BCTF) and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA), about 14,000 report cards in the Kamloops-Thompson school district are likely to be the next casualty. “Well, we’re not 100 per cent sure on that but, at this point, we cannot give out report cards because we don’t have them,” assistant superintendent Karl deBruijn told KTW.

“The clerical things we might be able to overcome somehow,” deBruijn said, referencing the mailing, filing and printing that would need to happen. “But, without the content of the report card, the grades, the comments and that kind of stuff, it’s pretty hard to send anything home.” DeBruijn said it is relatively rare to have students repeat a year, noting there shouldn’t be any surprises when report cards are finally issued, especially in elementary grades. What may put some strain on the system, however, are secondary-school marks. Students are required to pass the previous section of each course before moving on to the next level — math 9 before math 10, for example. Students who were on the cusp of passing might be in line to repeat the section again in the fall, but probably won’t know until September. DeBruijn said details on report cards, summer school and other strike-related issues should have been communicated to parents via a telephone message from superintendent Terry Sullivan in the afternoon or evening of Wednesday, June 25.

Harper languishes, pope popular in digital diplomacy THE CANADIAN PRESS

Canada is among a small group of countries that have Twitter accounts for most of their embassies and missions, a global study has revealed. The study, called Twiplomacy and conducted by the public relations firm Burson-Marsteller, looked at the use of the microblogging site by heads of state and by governments and ministers of foreign affairs. “Not a week goes by without a new Canadian embassy setting up shop on Twitter in English and French,’’ it said. “Ottawa, which was once described as a laggard in digital diplomacy, has now

He noted teachers are required to submit final marks for students in grades 10, 11 and 12 based on an order from the Labour Relations Board (LRB). Those marks have been declared essential services by the LRB process, deBruijn said, as they are required for passport to excellence financial awards, as well as for graduation. Those reports will be minimal, though, likely just a mark, without the feedback and comments normally present in a report card. “We can’t really, as a district, generate report cards because the grades are determined by the teachers,” deBruijn said. “So, if we send home a grade, mark or report card, we want it to be accurate and an accurate reflection that’s arrived at through an assessment process — and that process is controlled by the teachers.” DeBruijn said it is unlikely students will receive report cards before the fall. The assessments would need to be issued in the next day or two, which is unrealistic from both a clerical and content standpoint.

caught up with its peers.’’ But, when it comes to personal Twitter accounts, Prime Minister Stephen Harper languishes in 44th spot among 50 world leaders, with more than 478,000 followers. That’s a far cry from U.S. President Barack Obama, who remains the most followed world leader on Twitter with more than 43 million followers. However, the study found that despite Obama’s huge following, he is not the most influential leader in the twitterverse when it comes to retweets. That honour goes to Pope Francis, who has 14 million followers on nine different language accounts.

Bridge repair at $9.4m

Find us on Facebook: facebook.com/ kamloopsthisweek

By Andrea Klassen STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

For a moment on Tuesday, June 24, it looked as though the sidewalk on Overlanders Bridge was about to be trimmed from the city budget. Replacing the failing sidewalk will cost the city at least $3.3 million. Dismantling it would cost $2.3 million. “The million dollars in savings, it just sounds attractive to me,” said Coun. Arjun Singh, who argued the average pedestrian headed from the North Shore to the South Shore takes the multi-use pathway on the bridge’s east side, not the sidewalk on the west side. “I go across that bridge a lot and I only ever see, every three or four years, election candidates on it, or people protesting Ajax,” Singh said. Coun. Marg Spina suggested using the million in savings to improve the bridge’s more-used pedestrian routes by adding lighting and a midpoint access in case of a medical emergency. But, concerns about what would happen if the east path is closed for repairs — which public works director Jen Fretz said will need to happen soon — eventually led to a unanimous vote in favour of rebuilding the sidewalk’s concrete supports as part of a bridge resurfacing project slated for 2015. Fretz said the city doesn’t have an option of leaving the sidewalk as is, or closing it to the public, because the degrading supports have begun shedding concrete onto lanes of traffic below. If the city removed the sidewalk and needed to close the path on the east side, Fretz said one of the traffic lanes would need to be used for pedestrians. Coun. Nelly Dever said getting rid of the sidewalk could lead to other traffic backups on the bridge because emergency responders would have nowhere to stand. “That’s basically their safety zone. That’s where they tend to take the stretchers or themselves or the people in the vehicles,” she said of the sidewalk. Given the frequency of accidents on the bridge, Dever said she could easily see motorists becoming frustrated. “I think we’d hear from the taxpayers on the North Shore of town,” she said. Council will roll the cost of the sidewalk reconstruction into the overall cost for the Overlanders project, bringing the price tag from just over $6 million to $9.42 million. Fretz said the city will likely spend five months working on the bridge, starting with the sidewalk project, before moving on to the bridge deck resurfacing.

Chase, arrests netted Mounties plenty of weapons

One handgun and a dozen stolen long guns were seized after a brief manhunt in Kamloops last Friday. The incident began when police attempted to pull over a westbound vehicle just west of Kamloops for suspected erratic driving on the afternoon of June 20. The car, with Alberta plates, sped away and Mounties called off the pursuit. However, the vehicle turned around and was spotted headed back into Kamloops a short time later. The car exited on Copperhead Drive and eventually stopped in the parking lot of the old Rona outlet, with three sus-

pects taking off on foot. One suspect, 28-year-old Alberta man Nicholas Stephen Galbraith, was arrested on foot without incident. A youth suspect was apprehended outside the nearby Canadian Tire store a short time later, allegedly attempting to steal a semi truck. The third suspect, also a youth, was arrested in the evening of June 20. All three are charged with possession of stolen property and knowingly possessing a prohibited weapon without licence. They are slated to appear in Kamloops provincial court on Thursday, June 26.

AFTER THE DELUGE By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A blast of wet weather late Tuesday night (June 24) caused localized flooding and has shut down most of Kamloops’ sports fields. “We had a thunderstorm that developed over the Central Interior and intensified as it was moving to the southeast over the Kamloops area,” Environment Canada meteorologist Allan Coldwells told KTW, calling the rainfall that pounded the

Tournament Capital “intense. “It was obviously enough rain to get infrastructure compromised.” The 10th Avenue underpass north of Victoria Street took on water, as it is wont to do during deluges. At least a half-dozen buildings also suffered minor flooding. Coldwells said a City of Kamloops weather station in the downtown core recorded 15 millimetres of rain between 10:20 p.m. and 11:20 p.m. — which meets Environment Canada’s threshold for severe weather.

But, he said, there were no reports of hail falling, despite the intense storm that brought with it 60 lightning strikes. “Every summer we get storms like this in all parts of the Interior — sometimes they hit populated areas and sometimes they don’t,” he said. City of Kamloops officials decided to close all fields at McArthur Island, Singh Bowl and Hillside Stadium until 5 p.m. today (June 26). Shawn Cook, the city’s parks

operations supervisor, said McArthur Island fields were under water on Wednesday morning — something he described as unusual. “It is uncommon for a field closure this late in the season in terms of rain,” he said. “I’ve been here for eight years and I’m trying to think if I’ve closed a field this late in the year. I don’t think I have.” Cook said it’s important to limit the damage to turf and that means keeping people off of fields until they’re dry enough that regular use will not cause damage.

Kamloops Fire Centre information officer Melissa Klassen said wildfire crews will keep an eye on potential “holdover strikes” — blazes sparked days after lightning strikes, caused by smouldering vegetation. “The lightning we did see pass through the region did come with a fair bit of precipitation,” she said. “Over the next couple of days, the priority may be to watch for any holdover strikes. If it picks up some heat and higher than average temperatures, it could turn into a wildfire.”

COVER PAGE STORY

Firefighter pulled woman from river X From A1

Mark, vice-principal at Dallas elementary, walked alongside the woman as she floated down the river along Schubert Drive, waiting for fire and rescue to arrive. He knew better than to jump in after her. The woman remained faceup for most of her time in the river, but was face-down for a span, Cecile said. She wasn’t responding to Mark’s calls for her to swim towards shore.

Though the river is high, it runs slow along the west bank, Cecile said. A firefighter entered the river in a dry suit and swam to the woman. He was pulled out by crews on shore. A boat was on scene, but wasn’t needed. The woman had been in the water for between 10 and 15 minutes when she was pulled ashore and had travelled about two blocks. “He lips were pretty blue. Her hands were pretty blue.

She looked cold,” Cecile said. “She was conscious, but very limited response. She wasn’t talking very much.” Cecile said it seemed a little strange that someone would try to go down the path at that point on the riverbank. “We were concerned,” she said. “As soon as we saw someone with a walker trying to go down there — that’s just a very dangerous area to try and do that.”

didn’t know anything about the crime and was just accompanying Prosper, something he called “not believable.” But, articling student Jay Michi, who represented Gilmore at the bail hearing, said the mother of three comes from a wealthy household in Alberta and presents no flight risk. She has one unrelated criminal conviction and no record for not attending court appearances. Provincial court judge Len Marchand freed Gilmore on bail terms including a $2,000 recognizance. “I have no reason to think you won’t come back to Kamloops,” Marchand said, adding she will face further charges if she declines to return to face justice.

Questions and skepticism greet open house By Cam Fortems STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Residents brought questions and some brought a healthy dose of skepticism to the latest round of public forums hosted by KGHM Ajax on its proposed open-pit mine south of the city. The meeting at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre in Aberdeen attracted about 100 people in the first 80 minutes, well down from numbers for city’s first peek at the proposal two years ago at the same venue, when more than 1,000 people streamed through over two days. The mining company had about 30 staff members and consultants on hand on Tuesday night (June 24), the first of three open houses. KGHM held an open house at the same venue on Wednesday, June 25 and will host a third open house at the Knutsford Community Hall today (June 26), starting at 6 p.m. On Tuesday, the company unveiled its completed virtual mine simulation and a stand-up 3-D model showing the proposed project’s new configuration. KGHM’s reconfigured mine plan proposes moving the footprint farther south from the city and includes elimination of a tailings stack in favour of a conventional tailings pond located to the southeast. The company said it moved operations farther away from the Aberdeen and Pineview neighbourhoods to address public concerns. One of those residents, Sean Devlin, applauded the company for the moves. “They’ve listened to what people are saying,” he said. Devlin has worked at mines in B.C., including Huldra Silver, New Afton and Mount Milligan in the construction phases. He is now part of a crew building a potash mine in Saskatchewan, where he works 14 days and comes back home for seven days. He would like a chance at a job close to home on the maintenance side and believes KGHM can mine without harming the city or its envi-

ronment. “It seems they’re doing everything by the book,” he said. Another miner, Tyler Ralko, said he wasn’t concerned by the first design that placed rock pits and dry tailing stack — an idea now abandoned — closer to the city. “When it’s done, the pit won’t be as big as our smallest pit at Highland Valley,” said the miner who commutes from Rivershore. “I could show you a blast on my phone from Highland Valley. I’m a half a kilometre away and you don’t feel anything.” However, Jim Wentworth said he is not convinced by the company’s paid consultants that they can plan for every scenario. He’s worried climate change will bring more extreme weather events that could impact the mine and the city’s population. “What happens to Kamloops when the wind storms come, not only more frequently, but with higher velocity?” Wentworth said he is particularly worried about the impact on children, when rates of asthma are already on the increase. KGHM external-affairs manager Yves Lacasse said he was pleased to see a steady flow of people through the first day. Lacasse said the company may hold meetings again early next year to unveil some of its study results required for the application to federal and provincial authorities, expected early in 2015. Outside the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre, protesters who lined Rogers Way said they want to make it clear there is another side to the debate, one not captured by “slick presentations,” public-relations staff and consultants inside. “The new footprint is not going to keep the dust from coming to Kamloops,” Ajax opponent Anne Neave said. “A lot of what we’re worried about are health issues.” About 20 protesters hoisted signs that proclaimed, “Too big, too close” and “Save Jacko,” referring to the lake opponents say will be destroyed if Ajax is approved.

Highland Valley Copper mine worker Tyler Ralko is not concerned if Ajax is approved, noting the size of the proposed mine’s pit won’t be as large as the smallest put at HVC. “I could show you a blast on my phone from Highland Valley. I’m a halfa-kilometre away and you don’t feel anything,” Ralko said. Dave Eagles/KTW

Clearing the air out there can be a murky proposition

IR QUALITY everywhere and anywhere can use improvement. From Mexico City to Maui to Beijing to Helsinki, air-quality readings will fluctuate, yet there is room for improvement in the smoggiest and most-pristine cities. There will always be pollution and, as the instruments we use to detect the finest of particulate matter improve with time, those readings will increase. It does not necessarily mean the air we are breathing is getting worse; it could very well mean the science behind detecting more microscopic particulates is improving. This is precisely why air-quality readings in Kamloops have risen in the past three years (along with an anomaly known as the Siberian wildfires of 2012, but more on that in a moment). Prior to 2010, Environment Canada used equipment that did not do as good a job at detecting fine particulate matter as does equipment in use since then. As Ralph Adams of the Ministry of Environment told KTW, while the new equipment has captured more particulate matter and, therefore, delivered higher readings, air quality in Kamloops has not deteriorated in the past decade. “We’ve been running both instruments side by side and there’s no evidence that, with the exception of the [wild]fires, there’s been any change in the air quality in Kamloops over the past 10 years,” Adams said. And, for those years in which the air-quality numbers have spiked, wildfires — not industrialization, such as the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen — may be to blame. The numbers indicate as

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom MUSINGS much in 2003 and again in 2012, when smoke from Siberian wildfires created many days of summer haze in the Tournament Capital. Notably, Kamloops Physicians for a Healthy Environment, a group of doctors opposed to Ajax, used air-quality numbers from 2011, 2012 and 2013 to back its claim — in a four-page information sheet mailed to city homes last week — that the city’s air quality is worsening and cannot afford a mining project such as the proposed Ajax. The city’s mean PM2.5 (particulate matter of less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter) level in 2011 was 7.64. In 2012 — the year Kamloops hosted the Siberian wildfire haze — the mean PM2.5 level was 7.96. In 2013, the mean PM2.5 level was 8.9. Is it fair to state with certainty, based on three years of data, that Kamloops’ air quality is deteriorating when the readings have risen and fallen since the turn of the century, when numbers in years past have exceeded those of today? Is it fair to state with certainty, based on three years of data, that Kamloops’ air quality is deteriorating when only one of those three years measured has shown levels that have exceeded the

provincial threshold of eight micrograms per cubic metre? This year’s reading has yet to be determined, but June has thus far been far from hazy. In fact, the highest PM2.5 number I can find this month among Environment Canada data is 3.0. If 2014 ends with a mean PM2.5 level of less than 8.9, does that prove air quality is improving in Kamloops? While winters in Kamloops can be bleak-socked-in-inversion-blahness-ofdoom, summers are quite the opposite, despite photographic assertions to the contrary proposed by Kamloops Physicians for a Healthy Environment in its fact sheet. To suggest Kamloops’ summers are plagued by pollution would suggest such a claim is being made by someone who has yet to experience a summer of ozone-choking fun in the Fraser Valley, as I had the pleasure of enjoying for much of my life. It is, as usual, relative — the mostpolluted city in Canada would be considered rarefied air in many countries in Europe and Asia. All of which is not to say the goal of everyone should be to work to ensure our air quality is as pristine as possible. Of course we want clean air. I do. My kids do. We all do. And, we should aim to best the threshold set by our government, be it 8 in B.C., 10 in Canada, 15 in the U.S. or 25 in Europe. While adding any industry — or one more vehicle, or an addition to Royal Inland Hospital, or one more wood stove, for that matter — will impact air quality, to state Kamloops’ air quality is compromised is highly questionable. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

Conservation officers are just doing their jobs A story broke late last week about a woman on Westside Road in Vernon who came home to find a cougar in her living room, with one of her dog’s chew toys in its mouth. A conservation officer was eventually forced to kill the cougar. The most shocking, and saddest, part of this story is not that the cougar died; it’s the vitriol that has been spewed at the conservation officer on media websites carrying the article. “That S.O.B.” “Wish the cougar would have gotten one of them first.” Such comments are not only uncalled for, they are ignorant. The bottom line is, conservation officers are exactly that — conservation officers. They are not hired to kill wildlife, and to a person, they will say it’s the part of their job they despise the most. Killing an animal is a last resort for them. In this case, that cougar had become so comfortable around human scent that it entered a home and was sprawled out on a living room rug. Yes, it was a chew toy in the cat’s mouth. It could just as easily have been a toddler. This is a wild carnivore. It will attack, kill and eat many creatures smaller than it or perceived as weaker. Cougars are “beautiful, majestic” animals, as one poster describes, but they are also predators. Relocating cougars is next to impossible. Many cougars found in populated areas are young males and they are there because they’re trying to seek out their own territory and that can lead to run-ins with us. In the end, the public needs to allow conservation officers to do their jobs. They don’t need to be secondguessed when there’s a potential danger to human life.

THIS WEEK Speak up You can comment on any story you read @ kamloopsthisweek.com

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online

Re: Story: Overlanders Bridge repair project pegged at $9.42 million:

“What a waste of money, but what is worse is the lame excuse for repairing the sidewalk. “These people have no problem spending other people’s cash like drunken sailors. “It is truly amazing how out of touch these people really are. By their own reasoning, we should probably build another bridge right beside the one that’s there so we have one to use while the repairs are being done.” — posted by Pothead

Re: Letter: Our teachers need support they are not getting:

“Better pay means better people go into education. “Strikes are never appropriate, but neither is a government policy that uses teachers to deflect its economic mismanagement. “BCTF and the teachers it represents holds education in B.C. at the top of world-educational pyramid, where only three countries — Finland, Korea and Singapore — achieve better grades in math, science and reading.” — posted by Judy

Doctors’ group disagrees with story, headline Editor: Re: (‘Doubts about doctors’ air-quality report,’ June 24): Kamloops Physicians for a Healthy Environment Society has worked hard over the last several months to produce reliable data to help further educate our friends and neighbours about the state of our air. We were dismayed when the article in question included a headline indicating our data are misleading. They are not. It was the headline that was misleading. We have been misrepresented in Kamloops This Week by the suggestion we said particulate matter from Highland Valley Copper is blowing directly into Kamloops. What we are saying is that the combined footprint of the proposed Ajax mine

and New Gold together will approximately be as big as Highland Valley Copper. This could place the new No. 2 Canadian emitter of PM2.5 right next door. Indeed, the older TEOM instruments produced lower readings for PM2.5 than the newer BAM instruments. It is because of this change in instruments that we only reported for 2011, 2012 and 2013. These are years for which complete measurements were made at the same location with the same instrument (BAM). It’s difficult to see how Kamloops Physicians for a Healthy Environment Society could be criticized for leaving out 2010 data when that year had data from different instruments and changing locations. Our statistical analysis, by two Thompson Rivers University professors,

shows PM2.5 levels in 2013 were significantly higher than in 2012 and significantly higher than in 2011 — at the 95 per cent confidence level. This is a fact. It is over the B.C. guideline. This is a fact. The B.C. Lung Association has calculated the same numbers. This is another pesky fact. We will continue to stand behind the integrity of our data and continue to advocate for the health of the citizens of Kamloops — and that is our final pesky fact. Please see our website, kphe.ca, for a full response to the article. Dr. T. Burgmann and Dr. J. Calder on behalf of Kamloops Physicians for a Healthy Environment Society

Air-quality report ‘sensationalism with no basis in fact’ Editor: Re: (‘Doubts about doctors’ air-quality report,’ June 24): Finally, a proper criticism of the way anti-Ajax groups report facts in such a biased way in order to help support their stand against the mine. We all too often find such bad interpretations from limited data reported from groups in their effort to stop the mine before an environmental assessment is completed. Where the mine will be

required to use real data with expert interpretation in its reporting, these anti-mine groups can say pretty much anything they want, since they are not under review. However, we shouldn’t let them get away with blatantly bad use of science. The information reported on the front page of the June 24 edition of KTW surely questions how a group could possibly make statements regarding air quality that are so far off

from reality. And to mislead readers with their pamphlet by extracting data where it is inconvenient and making blatantly wrong conclusions in regards to the HVC and Afton mines’ input to the air quality of Kamloops shows nothing but sensationalism with no basis in fact. Thank you to Ralph Adams of the Ministry of Environment for setting us straight on how misleading Kamloops Physicians for a Healthy

Environment Society can be. Hopefully, the Kamloops community can see through the anti-Ajax propaganda and let the process run its course. Is there ever a reason to fear the conclusions of real science? It should never be considered “too late” to wait for proper work to be completed before making such an important decision for or against the proposed mine. Perry Grunenberg Kamloops

Education must be important to garner this much attention Editor: A lot of people, mostly parents and teachers, have written very informative letters about the state of the education crisis to date. I’d like to add a few more. 1. Whether its racists, global-warming deniers, Ford nation supporters or teacher haters, there are always going to be people who will rather ignore blatant facts and basic logic if it means they might have to admit the other side has a valid argument. 2. Education must be important; otherwise, it wouldn’t be getting so much attention.

3. Since school boards and teachers crying out for more funding in schools doesn’t work, then parent organizations need to get more political and lobby the government. We deserve a say when it comes to our children’s future. 4. Teachers are losing their paycheques, schools are closed, parents are scrambling for day care and everyone is still paying taxes. Who needs the H.S.T? This revenue is way more lucrative. 5. Not convinced? This is a government that, in the last 12 years, has found no problem in violat-

ing the constitution and basic contract law, forcing teachers back to work as soon as they begin to strike. Now it decides to lock them out and hold back wages, forcing teachers to work? Can anyone really believe the government doesn’t want this strike to happen? Perhaps people can, but it would require ignoring blatant facts and basic logic. Fraser Walker Kamloops

Closure of Stuart Wood — and previous decisions — have him confused Editor: I’m confused. When we moved to Kamloops six years ago, we fell in love with a house south of Columbia Street. We were hesitant as the closest elementary school was Lloyd George, a dual-track French-English school. The district showed us all kinds of studies and data that dual-track schools are the best possible schools and that nothing could be better in the interest of our child’s education, so we moved into the neighbourhood as we believed that a child able to walk to school is very important. Three years later, the school district told us that dual-track schools were not the best and, in order to save money, our child would now have to make a 25-minute trek to Stuart Wood. The the district showed us all kinds of studies and data that historic schools are the best possible schools and that nothing could be better in the interest of our child’s education. Three years later, the district has now told us Stuart Wood is to be closed. I’m confused. The school system in Kamloops is a mishmash of schools of choice, a middle school on the North Shore with none on the South Shore, kids bussing across the river and parents driving all over the city. I am not confident my child will graduate from South Kamloops secondary. The district’s plan is to spend $1.7 million on an art school of choice at John Peterson (which is not the school with a state of art theatre) and reduce enrolment at South Kamloops. It is also public knowledge South Kamloops will have to be rebuilt in the near future. I will not be surprised that, after succeeding in reducing enrolment at South Kamloops, the district will use this data to close another public school. This school district has proven itself incapa-

ble of running a consistent and stable program.

The district has a great opportunity now

to join the teachers and let the government know

the school system is failing and that cutting

budgets are not in my child’s best interest.

Kinder Morgan could help with beautification costs The city is moving ahead with a request that could see Kinder Morgan complete beautification work for the city near the Kamloops Airport as it twins its Trans Mountain pipeline. Council agreed at its Tuesday, June 24, meeting to forward a design concept for a stretch of Tranquille Road between the airport and Crestline Street to the pipeline company. Improvements to the corridor include a roundabout at the airport entrance, a lookout point, a picnic area, sidewalks and buried hydro lines. The city estimates the cost for all of the work, which is split into two phases, at $7.3 million, but Kinder Morganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s willingness to complete some or most of the work would greatly impact the scope of the project. If the company is successful in its appli-

CITY HALL cation to expand its oil pipeline, Kinder Morgan will be doing major construction work near the airport in order to lay pipe under the river. It could complete some of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s construction as part of that project. The company has asked for what Coun. Nelly Dever calls its â&#x20AC;&#x153;blue-skyâ&#x20AC;? proposals, but it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be clear whether the Trans Mountain expansion is going ahead until at least the summer of 2015.

$9K for soils probe

The city will spend $9,000 making sure none of three sites it has set aside for affordable-housing development are contaminated. Funding for environmental-site assessments at 1940-1950 Pacific

City of Kamloops

Way, 1685 Pacific Way, 1430 Ninth Ave. and 1050 McMurdo Dr. will come from the affordable-housing reserve fund. BC Housing, which has an agreement with the city, is looking to start a request-for-proprosals process to get projects built on the three sites, but wants to make sure they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need remediation, which could dramatically drive up the cost of construction.

Spending to save

Electricity at Interior Savings Centre cost $242,000 in 2013, but the city is hoping it can cut some of those costs with a new partnership with BC Hydro. The city will spend $46,900 on the co-op

No pesticide ban now

A Kamloops antipesticide advocate is once again calling for a city ban on cosmetic pesticides. Council last debated pesticides in 2012, but opted not to pursue a

ban at that time, preferring to wait and see if the province would bring in its own set of new restrictions. But, the province opted not to take action either after a special committee on cosmetic pesticides found insufficient evidence for a ban. Diane Czyzewski told council it should look at a ban again because current city regulations arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t being followed. She claims people arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t displaying signs when spraying as required, which is making life difficult for people who are sensitive to the pesticides. Mayor Peter Milobar said enforcing an outright ban would be difficult â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and possibly not effective. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we talked to cities with the ban, the number of tickets theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to issue is negligible, if at

strike because they can’t meet their students’ needs now and they know change is needed for the students of the future. Social media has been important for Kamloops teachers, too, said David Komljenovic, its incoming local president and a member of the provincial bargaining committee. He credits teacher Jennifer Jones for a key component, a closed-group Facebook page designed for teachers. Jones created one a few years ago that was open to anyone and where participants could share resources, ideas and teaching tools. Komljenovic started the Kamloops teachers page in 2011, during the last teacher’s strike, because it filled a need for “teachers to communicate with each other.” Since then, other B.C. Teachers’ Federation locals have done the same.

“It’s an opportunity to discuss things, more of a grassroots movement,” he said. “And, the one thing that comes from it is the members are guiding the union. “The union isn’t guiding the members.” The recent BCTF request for mediator Vince Ready to be brought into negotiation talks came from a Facebook post, Komljenovic said. The page was key as teachers debated how to vote on the increased job action that led to the strike, he added, as those posting shared their reasoning and viewpoints. Posting pictures from picket lines has helped buoy spirits and also given teachers the ability to let everyone know when a local business or parent stops by with some goodies or a simple highfive of support. “It’s a way to be connected with each other and feel supported.”

Vancouver teacher Tobey Steeves would agree he’s a bit of a social-media junkie. Specifically, he’s a Twitter fan — and it’s where he found a posting from another Vancouver teacher, talking about the reason why her teacher husband is walking a picket line. It came with the hashtag #thisismystrikepay — and Steeves was inspired. He saw it as an opportunity to give a voice to teachers who, like him, are on strike and, at least in his case, hearing a lot of negative feedback from people. “The media kept asking us a questions,” he said. “How do the teachers feel being out here? How do they feel knowing there’s no strike pay? “There was all this negative framing but there were also these stories to be told about why we’re out here and it goes back to we are out here and it’s not for the $50 strike pay.” Steeves adopted the hashtag, put a new photo with it, sent it out into the Twitterverse, used his contacts to promote it and, by Sunday, June 15, it was trending internationally and beating out any World Cup soccer tweet threads. Steeves said he’s tried to read each tweet using the hashtag and has found they have a common theme — teachers are on

B.C. Court of Appeal sitting in Kamloops this week

DOWNTOWN ACCIDENT A woman was taken to Royal Inland Hospital with undetermined injuries after being struck by a truck driven by a male driver. The vehicle was making a left turn onto Sixth Avenue from Lansdowne Street just before 11 a.m. on Tuesday, June 24. Dave Eagles photo/KTW

B.C.’s highest level of court is sitting in Kamloops this week to hear three appeals, including one from the owner of residential unit at Sun Peaks who lost a parking fight. Three justices from B.C. Court of Appeal heard cases on Tuesday and Wednesday, part of an effort to bring the court out of Vancouver to regional centres. On Wednesday, June 25, the justices listened to arguments from a lawyer representing the owners of a residential-strata unit at Sun Peaks Resort who lost a bid to stop commercial parking in the building. Sylviane and Hamid Abdoh brought a lawsuit against the strata corporation at Fireside Lodge, as well as Powder Hounds restaurant. The couple sought an order that commercial tenants of the building were not permitted to use parking designated for residential owners, despite a resolution made by the strata council

that they could do so on certain occasions. They also sought to have Powder Hounds remove a water heater in a storage area on the parking floor and a restaurant sign on the exterior of the building. The building was constructed in 1998, part of the original development at the Tod Mountain ski resort. The Abdohs purchased a unit in 1996. In his original decision, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Ian Meiklem noted “there is no evidence that any other owner supports their position on enforcement . . . No benefit would accrue to any owner and substantial costs would be incurred by a long-term tenant of a commercial owner.” The court typically reserves decision until a later date. The court was also scheduled to hear another civil appeal as well as a criminal matter this week.

Accused killer’s audio admissions to be used at Alberta trial By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

When the son of Edmonton’s former police chief stands trial in an Alberta courtroom later this year accused of stabbing to death his one-time girlfriend, prosecutors will have audio tape from a 2012 Kamloops hearing at which he admitted to the slaying. Mark Lindsay, 27, is charged with second-degree murder in Alberta, accused of killing 31-year-old Dana Turner in the fall of 2011. The Alberta Crown applied successfully in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops to receive copies of the audio recording of Lindsay’s testimony in Kamloops in 2012. Turner went missing in Edmonton in August 2011, just days after

Lindsay was released from jail after stabbing her in the head. He became the subject of an RCMP Mr. Big sting almost immediately, with officers approaching him on a Greyhound bus between Jasper and Edmonton, inviting him to join a fictional criminal organization. Days into the investigation, Lindsay attacked the undercover Mountie with whom he was travelling from Edmonton to Kamloops. That assault took place outside a Barriere gas station and Lindsay was arrested by Kamloops police a short time later. A few weeks later, while in custody at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre, Lindsay stabbed his 21-year-old cellmate twice in the right eye during a game of Scrabble, causing per-

manent vision loss. In August 2012, Lindsay stood trial in Kamloops on charges from the Mr. Big attack and the cellmate stabbing. During each of those trials, he admitted to not only the charges involving the undercover officer and his KRCC cellmate, but also to murdering Turner and dumping her body in a farmer’s field in central

the Crown in B.C. It’s believed Lindsay, the son of former Edmonton police chief John Lindsay, will also present an NCRMD defence in Alberta. Last year, a provincial court judge in Alberta ruled there is enough evidence for Lindsay’s trial to proceed in Alberta’s Court of Queen’s Bench. His trial will begin on Nov. 4 in Red Deer.

Mark Lindsay is charged with murdering his estranged girlfriend in Alberta. He admitted to the killing during court proceedings in Kamloops in 2012 on assault charges stemming from an undercover police probe into the murder.

ReStore ready for thieves to take a break Metal thieves are hitting a Kamloops second-hand store hard, affecting Habitat for Humanity’s ability to build houses for people in need. Jan Lingford, executive director of Habitat for Humanity Kamloops, said ReStore’s Cariboo Place location in Sahali has been hit 11 times in the past month. “These thieves concentrate on stealing cleaned, sorted metal from our outdoor bins that is destined for our recycling depot,” she said. Lingford said Habitat’s Kamloops branch earns income through metal recycling — money that helps fund its operations in the Tournament Capital. But, she said, it’s not only metal theft that is hurting the non-profit group. “They have broken into our store, our delivery trucks and our storage bins as well,” Lingford said. “We are working with the RCMP to try and catch the culprits, but have not had any luck so far.” ReStore manager Melodie Berreth said the thieves are dampening the morale of volunteers. “This is discouraging to our staff and volunteers, who commit hundreds of hours each week sorting, cleaning and preparing the metal for recycling,” she said. “We are here to serve people, not to provide thieves a quick dollar at the recyclers.” Anyone with information about the thefts is asked to call police at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Alberta. Lindsay said he thought Turner, the undercover Mountie and the cellmate were all part of a group of “serial killers” trying to kill him. He was found not criminally responsible by way of a mental disorder (NCRMD) on the charges involving the undercover Mountie and the cellmate — a notion that wasn’t disputed by

Pedophile awaits fate David Jennings will learn next month if a judge will deem him a dangerous offender By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The fate of a Kamloops pedophile the Crown wants locked up indefinitely is now in the hands of a judge. David Jennings’ dangerousoffender hearing wrapped up this week in Kamloops provincial court. The 50-year-old convicted child molester has a history of sexual offences involving children as young as three dating back to the 1980s. Most recently, he was found guilty of a 2011 sex assault in a rural area outside Kamloops in which he fondled the young son of a family friend while babysitting. After that conviction, the Crown applied to have Jennings labelled a dangerous offender — a tag that could see him locked up indefinitely. The sexual offence three

David Jennings has a long history of sexually assaulting children. He was most recently convicted of assaulting a boy near Kamloops in 2011.

years ago against the boy — who called him “Uncle Dave” — at the rural home occurred despite rare public warnings from Kamloops Mounties about Jennings and the threat he poses to children. During his dangerousoffender hearing, Jennings complained about being given female hormones that caused

him to grow breasts and said he wanted to live in the wilderness. He also frequently complained about newspaper stories covering his hearing, claiming the reports caused him problems at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre. On multiple occasions during the hearing, Jennings questioned why reporters were allowed in the courtroom and made vulgar gestures to media. Lawyers are slated to return to court on July 3 to set a date for sentencing. It’s up to Kamloops provincial court Judge Len Marchand to determine whether Jennings should receive a finite jail term followed by long-term supervision in the community or an indefinite sentence that could see him locked up for the rest of his life. Marchand indicated in court he hopes to have his decision by the end of July.

Father avoids jail, must not contact kids By Tim Petruk

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops-area man who attempted to intimidate his daughter into lying to a judge after four of his children were taken into foster care due to “deplorable” living conditions at the family home has avoided jail. Instead, Darrell Warren Batke, 49, has been placed on a fourmonth house-arrest term after pleading guilty in Kamloops provincial court to one count of attempting to pervert, defeat or obstruct justice. Kamloops provincial court Judge Stephen Harrison had harsh words for Batke in handing down his sentence this week. “This sort of offence goes to the heart of the criminal-justice system,” he said. “There’s far too much of it that goes on in these courts.” Harrison said he would have sent Batke to jail if not for a plea bar-

gain presented to him by Crown and defence. “If you encourage people to lie to you, intimidate people to get them to lie in court, you can expect jail,” Harrison said, calling Batke’s actions “bullying.” “We see the impact of this far too much. It’s an appalling way for a parent, of all people, to conduct themselves with a child.” In providing background, Crown prosecutor Adrienne Murphy described a harrowing existence on the family’s 10-acre Louis Creek farm about 60 kilometres north of Kamloops. “The conditions of the home are described as being deplorable,” Murphy said, referring to the home’s kitchen as “makeshift.” “The children had no furniture in their rooms other than a mattress they would drag from room to room. “In the living room, the sole piece of furniture is the back seat of

the family van.” Court heard three of Batke’s five children asked a neighbour to call police after an incident at the house on May 18, 2013. Batke kicked his 11-year-old son out of the house for misbehaving, threatening to shoot him if he didn’t leave the property. The boy did leave, but approached his mother’s vehicle when she arrived home with pizza a short time later. Batke found the boy hiding and eating pizza in the family van and forcefully took the food from his son. That resulted in a neighbour calling police and four of the five children were taken into foster care immediately. The fifth child is a 23-year-old son who has the mental capacity of a six-month-old baby. Court heard he was misdiagnosed as an infant and suffered irreparable brain damage, for which Batke was awarded a

large sum of money following a malpractice suit. That money, court heard, is how the family purchased the Louis Creek property. Late in the summer of 2013, during a supervised visit to Aberdeen Mall with two of his daughters, ages 12 and 10, Batke threatened one of the girls, saying: “You better lie to the f---ing court, you bitch.” He was referring to a separate charge he was facing in relation to the pizza incident involving his son. Harrison noted the ongoing care of Batke’s disabled son as an exceptional circumstance that kept Batke out of jail. Terms of his house arrest include a condition he have no contact with his four children in foster care other than as ordered by a familycourt judge. Batke was also placed on a year-long probation term.

SK KRYSTINA Murphy about Ronald McDonald house and you’ll hear a lot about dress up, dance parties and crafts, but not so much about the cancer treatments that first sent the sevenyear-old Westsyde resident to B.C. Children’s Hospital. Diagnosed with eye and brain tumours at four months old, Krystina spent about six months of her early life at the house, which houses families with seriously ill children while they undergo treatment at the hospital. “It was our home away from home,” says her mother, Sarah. “Krystina had her first Halloween there, she had her first Christmas at the house, and we’ve spent a lot of time there since. We’ve had a couple relapses and she’s spent more time there as she’s gotten older.” But, when the family heads to Vancouver this summer for a check up, they’ll have a new Ronald McDonald House to check out. Instead of 13 families, the new house — which opened Monday, June 16 — will have room for 73, making it the second-largest Ronald McDonald House in Canada, and one of the 10 largest worldwide. Just over 40 per cent of the families who stay at the house hail from the Interior.

Sarah said being able to come back to the House at the end of each day helped keep Krystina’s time in hospital from becoming too stressful. “She knew we weren’t coming home, but she was able to go there and see her friends she had made and talk to the volunteers, and the volunteers were always so great,” she said. It was one of those volunteers, who also help out with laundry, cooking and chores, who helped Krystina create one of her favourite memories of the house — her ice cream stand, built from a cardboard box. “Every morning she would go around to every parent and volunteer she could find and ask ‘do you want any ice cream?’” Sarah said.

“People would give me money, pretend to, and then I would pretend I was scooping up ice cream,” Krystina added. When not selling ice cream, the Murphys enjoyed repeat viewings of Sleeping Beauty and games of dress up. Kystina’s favourite costume? A fuzzy bunny suit she barely took off one six-month stay. “I loved that bunny costume,” she said. “I think I pretended to be the Easter Bunny.” For the adults, being in the house meant living with people who understood what the family was going through. “It wasn’t quite as good as home, but it was the next best thing,” Sarah said. “Sometimes you’d be at the hospital from seven in the morning to

six at night and you’d get back and you just knew that everyone in the house already knew

your situation. So they knew how we could all kind of help each other.”

Local chamber rep gets provincial appointment Former Kamloops Chamber of Commerce President Brant Hasanen has been elected as Vice Chair of the board of directors for the British Columbia Chamber of Commerce. This one-year term succeeds to chair the organization for the 2015-2016 term. “We are proud to have Kamloops represented at such a high level at the BC Chamber of Commerce,” said Aleece Laird, president of the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce Board. “Brant has served our board in Kamloops since 2003 and continues to support the chamber movement both locally and provincially with his insight, experience and passion for policy development.” “Chambers of commerce are at their best when there is good member engagement, as well as having access to an organization that makes them stronger,” Hasanen said. “I believe the BC Chamber of Commerce does just that and I am looking forward to working with the individual chambers and businesses across the province over the next two years.”

Mountain bikers wanted

Phoenix Centre is looking for males between the ages of 15 and 25 who want to become involved with

mountain biking. There are some requirements, however. Applicants must be people who have been impacted by substance abuse — either directly or by people close to them — and who don’t have access to organized sports. Last year, 18 young males took part in the first Ashes to Dust Mountain Bike Camp and, this year, event co-ordinator Marcia Dick said, it’s hoped to involve more. At the end of the two-day camp, participants get to keep all the gear they have used — including new bikes. The group will also be transported to the Juniper Bike Ranch for the Sept. 10 and Sept. 11 event, be fed during it and be instructed by five professional mountain bikers. Participants must be nominated. For more information, go online to phoenixcentre.org, email Dick at marcia.dick@ phoneixcentre.org or call her at 778-4705695. She’s also looking for businesses to provide sponsorship so the centre can pay for all the gear it needs to offer the camp. The mountain bike camp is not connected to the Out of the Ashes bursary fund the centre also operates.

GLOBAL VIEWS

Time for tranquilizer on Iraq

T’S TIME FOR everybody in Iraq to take a tranquilizer. The media will go on fizzing with apocalyptic speculations for a week or so, because that kind of talk always sells, but the war of movement is over. It never was much of a war. A third of Iraq was captured by ISIS and various Sunni militias in one week at a cost that probably didn’t exceed 1,000 lives (plus however many were murdered by ISIS afterwards). The Islamist radicals have now reached approximately the limits of the territory in Iraq that has a Sunni Arab majority — and they’d be mad to throw away all their gains by trying to conquer Baghdad. There are lots of young men fighting for the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (the Levant) who would love to be martyred in such an attack, but ISIS is run by grown-ups. They know they can’t go any farther without running out of the popular support that let a few thousand fighters sweep through the Sunni lands so easily. Baghdad is defended by Shia militias that already number in the tens of thousands and will probably soon pass the 100,000 mark. Most of them know far less about fighting than the ISIS veterans, but they are just as keen on martyrdom and they would outnumber the ISIS fighters 20-to-one, maybe 50-to-one. Two or three days of street fighting in the

GWYNNE DYER World WATCH huge, now mostly Shia city of Baghdad and ISIS would have no more troops. So, ISIS has advanced about as far as it is going to go. And, by the way, so has the Kurdistan Regional Government. The KRG’s Peshmerga troops now control not only the disputed oil city of Kirkuk, but almost 100 per cent of traditionally Kurdish territory in Iraq, compared to only about 70 per cent two weeks ago. During most of that time, the Peshmerga and ISIS observed a de facto ceasefire while they concentrated on the territory that really mattered to them. There have been some exchanges of fire between ISIS and Peshmerga in the past few days along the illdefined border between their new holdings, but nothing very serious. There might have been a major clash around Tel Afar, where KRG President Masoud Barzani offered to commit Peshmerga to the city’s defence just before ISIS attacked, but President Nuri al-Maliki in Baghdad rejected his offer. The Kurdish troops withdrew and the city

fell to ISIS. Almost certainly, the reason Maliki declined Barzani’s offer was that it came with major strings attached. Having grabbed the territory he wanted, Barzani was asking the government in Baghdad to recognize Kurdistan’s new borders. Maliki’s reason for refusing, even though it meant losing Tel Afar, would have been that he still hopes for a third term and could not afford to be seen giving away “Arab” territory to the Kurds. In ideological terms, ISIS would like to incorporate Kurdistan into its ever-expanding Islamic caliphate, which would erase all borders within the (Sunni) Muslim world but, in practical terms, it knows that it cannot do that, at least for the moment. In ideological terms, ISIS would also like to convert or exterminate all the Shias in the world, starting with the 20 million in Iraq, but in practical terms it cannot do that either. So, the borders of the three successors to the current state of Iraq, Kurdish, Shia Arab and Sunni Arab, have already been drawn, with the important addition that the Sunni Arab successor extends across the old international frontier to include eastern Syria as well. These changes will not be reversed. The Shia-majority rump of the former Iraqi state that extends from Baghdad to Basra does not have the strength to restore the

old centralised Iraq. Is this really such a disaster? Not for the Kurds, obviously and not really for the Shia Arabs, either. They still have all of their own territory (i.e. Shia-majority territory) and most of the oil. Nor will the Baghdad government, which still rules that territory, need U.S. air power to save it. (U.S. President Barack Obama has just been stalling until that became clear). The problematic bit is the Sunni Arabs of Iraq. They are clearly delighted to have shaken off the corrupt and oppressive sectarian rule of President Nuri al-Maliki but, for the near future at least, they will have to contend with the unappetising prospect of being ruled instead by the incorruptible, but brutally intolerant leaders of ISIS. It should be borne in mind, however, that, even now, the great majority of the armed men who have created this new Sunni protostate are not ISIS fanatics. Most of them are either tribal militiamen or former members of the Baathist-era army that was dissolved by the invaders after the overthrow of Saddam Hussein. They belong to organizations that have real political power and they vastly outnumber the ISIS fanatics. Those same organizations broke the hold of Al Qaeda in Iraq, the ancestor to ISIS, in

Man charged with attempting to abduct child in Surrey CANADIAN PRESS

SURREY — Mounties say a man has been charged after attempting to abduct a four-year-old girl from a park in Surrey. Police received a 911 call on Saturday, June 21, from girl’s father, who said a man tried to take his daughter. RCMP say the father

noticed a stranger talking to his daughter in Holland Park and that, when he approached the two, the man left, only to return and shout at him. Police say the 32-yearold man tried to escape on a bicycle, but was captured a few blocks away by patrol officers who flooded the area

after hearing about the call. Adam Beedle, of no fixed address, is accused of uttering a threat, possession of a controlled substance and attempted abduction of a person under 14. Sgt. Dale Carr said the father did the right thing by intervening when he became suspicious.

Conservatives quietly kill international musicians’ fee CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Ottawa has effectively eliminated a fee charged to international musicians that critics complained was deterring acts from abroad from playing in Canadian bars, pubs and restaurants. The removal of a work permit requirement for foreign musical acts, part of the government’s overhaul of the controversial temporary foreign worker program, went largely unnoticed amid a spate of other measures announced last week. Last summer, in their zeal to start

KAMLOOPS

cracking down on temporary foreign workers in the face of mounting criticism, the Conservatives added a $275 processing fee on top of a $150 work permit for each member of a musical act from outside the country who were hired to play small Canadian venues. The government said at the time the fee was aimed at helping to cover the costs of determining whether a Canadian should be hired instead of a temporary foreign worker in the music sector. NDP MP Andrew Cash, a longtime musician who was harshly critical

of the fees, had faint praise for the Tories, saying they had corrected something “incredibly dumb that they shouldn’t have implemented in the first place.’’ The music sector wasn’t abusing the temporary foreign worker program, he said, and no one asked for the additional fees. The regulation also penalized small businesses; larger venues and concert halls didn’t have to pay it. The music industry has praised the Tories for doing away with what it had dubbed the “tour tax.’’

TORONTO — Veterans who suffered a traumatic brain injury may be at greater risk of developing dementia later in life, according to a new U.S. study that looks at the possible link between the neurological disorder and the signature wound of the Afghanistan conflict. The research, published in the online journal Neurology, also found veterans with a history of traumatic brain injury, or TBI, developed dementia about two years earlier than those without a brain injury, but who had dementia. The findings add to a growing, but disputed body of research involving professional athletes and military members that suggest brain trauma can be linked to neurological disorders that appear to set in years after the event. “This study convincingly shows that mild trauma has a role in increasing the risk of dementia,’’ said Rodolfo Savica, a member of the American Academy of Neurology who wrote an editorial accompanying the study. “[It] sheds light on the more complex relationship between medical and psychiatric diseases with TBI in the development of the future risk of dementias.’’ The research by doctors at the University of California in San Francisco involved 189,000 American veterans who were 68 years old on average at the start of the study. None had dementia at the beginning of the project, which spanned nine years and was supported by the U.S. Department of Defense. Of the 1,229 veterans who were diagnosed with TBI, 196 — or 16 per cent — developed dementia compared to 10 per cent with TBI who didn’t. Deborah Barnes of the University of California and the report’s author, found veterans who had TBI but did not develop dementia died 2.3 years earlier than those without a brain injury. The authors say that after adjusting for other factors that could affect the risk of dementia, such as diabetes and alcohol abuse, they found that “veterans with TBI were 60 per cent more likely to develop dementia than those without TBI.’’ Savica stressed that those other factors could play a significant role in the development of dementia in veterans with TBI and that a definitive, causal link can’t be made between TBI and the neurological disorder.

Don’t isolate, Quebec

THURSDAY

Harper addresses province on official holiday By Alexandre Robillard

CANADIAN PRESS

SAINT-LAZAREDE-BELLECHASSE, Que. — Following the return of a federalist government in Quebec, Prime Minister Stephen Harper urged the province on Tuesday, June 24, to resist isolating itself from the rest of the country. In a speech marking Quebec’s annual holiday known as Fete nationale, Harper also asked Quebecers to consider voting for his party in Oct. 2015. “Never let anyone tell you, ‘Quebec should isolate itself, never participate in major national and international issues,’’’ he said in a speech at a community centre in Saint-Lazare-deBellechasse, outside Quebec City. Quebec played a role in the creation of Canada, in its growth and development, and in the common sacrifices that mark its history.’’ The remarks were a rare attempt by Harper to make inroads in the province. He insisted the voice of Quebecers remains strong in Ottawa, even if the Conservatives have a limited presence

in the province. The party won just five of Quebec’s 75 federal seats in the last election. In his speech, Harper reminded the crowd of earlier efforts to reach out. He said Conservatives adopted a motion in the House of Commons recognizing Quebecers form a nation within a united Canada and gave the province a seat in Canada’s UNESCO delegation. Harper made the comments before about 500 people in the riding of Conservative MP Steven Blaney, on the first day of a two-day visit to Quebec. Harper was also with Quebec Premier

Philippe Couillard in his home riding of Roberval, in the province’s Lac-Saint-Jean region. Couillard, a staunch federalist, won a majority in the April 7 election, beating out Pauline Marois’ Parti Quebecois. Conservative MP Denis Lebel said the result was significant. “It’s clear that the last election has changed the situation,’’ said Lebel, the federal infrastructure minister. “We had a former government [the PQ] who wanted to take Quebec out of Canada. For us, that’s

not the direction we want to go.’’ Harper didn’t always have smooth relations with former Liberal Premier Jean Charest, either, but the Conservatives appear to be looking for a fresh start. Lebel said the Conservative government is committed to getting things done with Couillard’s Liberals. “We have a federalist government for the next four-and-a-half years, and I hope that we can do great things together and I think in the coming hours we will show our ability to work together,’’ he said.

Jury weighs in, man accused dismembering ex By Paola Loriggio CANADIAN PRESS

BRAMPTON, Ont. — A jury is now weighing the fate of a man accused of killing and dismembering his ex-girlfriend, then discarding her remains in several Toronto-area locations. Chun Qi Jiang is charged with firstdegree murder in the death of 41-year-old Guang Hua Liu, whose body parts were found in parks and waterways in August 2012. Crown prosecutors allege Jiang killed Liu, with whom he had an on-again, off-again relationship, after she spurned him for a new boyfriend. But, the defence said it was Jiang’s 66-yearold mother who fatally stabbed Liu during a dispute over allegedly stolen jewelry, then cut her body into pieces.

Jiang only helped cover up the gruesome crime to protect his mother, who died shortly after his arrest, his lawyers said. Should the jury have any reasonable doubt about whether Jiang killed his ex, they must acquit him, During the fourweek trial, court heard from the Crown that Liu’s head showed more than 40 “choplike’’ wounds caused by a sharp-edged object, possibly a hatchet or cleaver. The trial has also heard Liu’s blood was found in the accused’s basement and in the trunk of his car, while a pair of rubber gloves found in a kitchen drawer tested positive for both Liu and Jiang’s DNA. In his closing arguments, Crown attorney Brian McGuire argued the brutality of the

assault on Liu, coupled with the careful eradication of any evidence that might point to her death, prove she was never meant to survive. Jiang was familiar with the areas where her remains were dumped and made sure to leave her head, the most identifiable part, as far away from his home as possible, while still giving himself time to clean up the scene of the crime, he said. Prosecutors also suggested Jiang’s ailing mother would not have been physically able to overpower a fit, 41-year-old woman and walk away “without so much as a scratch.’’ Jiang testified he did not call police or an ambulance after the grisly incident that took place in the basement of his home. He admitted to bringing up parts of Liu’s body to be washed

in the kitchen sink and packing them in plastic bags, but insisted his mother cut up the body. He also told the court he put Liu’s torso into a suitcase, went through the contents of her purse and put her belongings in bags to be disposed of with her remains. While “despicable,’’ those actions do not make him a killer, defence lawyer Kathryn Wells said in her closing arguments Tuesday. Jiang was arrested on Aug. 26, 2012, and originally charged with second-degree murder but the charge was upgraded to first-degree murder last summer. Liu’s foot was found in Mississauga’s Credit River on Aug. 15, triggering a massive investigation. Her head was discovered the next day in the same river, wrapped in grocery bags.

‘Neonic’ pesticides bad for bees, environment CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Scientists say they have conclusive evidence that two widely used types of pesticides are killing bees and other insects and harming the environment. The panel of 50 scientists comprising the Task Force on Systemic Pesticides says use of the pesticides should be phased out over time. In the meantime, they are calling on regulatory bodies to tighten regulations around use. Concerns over the use of neonicotinoids and neonics have been raised over the past two decades. But, the panel said

the combined study of 800 research papers provides conclusive evidence that the pesticides are causing the mass

deaths of bees and butterflies, needed to pollinate most crops. The study also showed the chemicals

pose a significant risk to earthworms and birds and are harming the planet’s ecosystem.

Alberta forest loss worst in foothills, not oilsands area CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — Information gleaned from satellite images shows that forests on the slopes of Alberta’s Rocky Mountains have taken the brunt of industrial development. A report from Global Forest Watch shows the eastern slopes,

not the oilsands area, have suffered the highest rate of forest loss over the last 12 years. Almost seven per cent of those forests disappeared between 2000 and 2013 — more than double the average rate of forest loss across Canada. Report author Peter Lee said

energy and forestry development are taking place on land Albertans have come to see as their outdoor playground. The Alberta government is preparing to auction off to industry another block of land on the eastern slopes that is some of the last remaining habitat for two endangered caribou herds.

Egypt’s Fahmy verdict not right, Harper says CANADIAN PRESS

ROBERVAL, Que. — Prime Minister Stephen Harper said Canada has made it clear to Egypt that it is not happy with the terrorism verdicts and prison sentences handed down against three journalists, including Egyptian-Canadian Mohamed Fahmy. Harper said Canada has expressed concerns about the case and the Egyptian legal process from the beginning. Al-Jazeera journalists Fahmy, Australian Peter Greste and Egyptian Baher Mohamed were convicted of giving support to the Muslim Brotherhood, which Egypt labels a terrorist group. The prime minister said Canada has been providing consular support and services to Fahmy from the outset. He also said Canada will continue to press the Egyptian government on the case. The Harper government has been criticized for not taking a tougher stand on Fahmy, but Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird said bullhorn diplomacy won’t work.

Gap in trades market CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Canada’s employment minister said a shortage of skilled workers will be one of the country’s greatest future economic challenges. Jason Kenney gave the warning at a skills summit in Toronto where stakeholders have gathered to discuss the labour market, employ-

ee training and those under-represented in the labour force. He said the construction, mining and petroleum sectors are examples of industries that will face serious shortages of skilled workers over the next decade and stakeholders need to de-stigmatize the trades and encourage young workers to enter skilled vocations.

Canada needs a moratorium on new oilsands projects and pipelines, according to a group of Canadian and U.S. academics. In a comment article in the prominent science journal Nature, they argue leaders have to stop considering the industry’s development project by project and start thinking about the big picture. “Governments have allowed corporations to profit from one-off policy decisions,’’ the academics write in the article. “The collective result of these decisions is unnecessarily high social, economic and environmental costs.’’ Governments have become like a smoker who believes that since the next cigarette isn’t likely to kill him it’s OK to keep lighting up, said economist Mark Jaccard, one of the

eight co-authors, from Simon Fraser University. “I’m going about it the wrong way if I looked at that individual cigarette. I should have looked at all of the cumulative effects of each of the cigarettes I would have smoked and then I might have made a different decision.’’ Co-author Thomas HomerDixon of the University of Waterloo’s Balsillie School of International Affairs said governments need to start putting the pieces together. “Even the folks who would not agree with us with respect to many of the points we’re making would probably agree that the world is changing, that over the next decades there’s going to be a move away from carbon-based fuels,’’ he said. “That’s a big job for North America and it shouldn’t be approached in piecemeal fashion, with lots of individual decisions that are made in iso-

lation from each other.’’ Economic and climate models around the world suggest high-carbon fuels such as oilsands-derived crudes can’t increase if climate change is to be manageable, Jaccard said. “All of those models show you wouldn’t be expanding unconventional oil. As a group at MIT said: ‘The niche for the oilsands industry is fairly narrow and mostly involves hoping that climate policy will fail.’’’ There’s no need to shut the oilsands down — just stop their rapid expansion, Jaccard suggested. “You don’t need to lose jobs in Alberta,’’ he said. “You may not be able to bring in foreign workers as fast as you were and you may not have inflation as high as you have it and you may not have as much of a boom-and-bust cycle in your economy. The article calls for a price

on carbon that would restrict high-emissions projects. It adds that governments need better regulatory tools for studying tradeoffs between development, the environment, social justice and health. It also calls for a co-operative carbon policy between the United States and Canada. Homer-Dixon points out carbon price regimes are spreading. China has announced plans for a carbon price by 2015 and the International Energy Agency expects that about one-third of global emissions will be subject to such schemes within a generation. The authors of the article also include Wendy Palen, Anne Salomon, Ken Lertzman and Maureen Ryan from Simon Fraser University, Thomas Sisk of Northern Arizona University and Joseph Arvai from the University of Calgary.

FAITH

An ode to Canada’s 147th birthday

N THE OPENING sentence of a biography on the life of the late evangelist Dwight L. Moody, the writer Gamaliel Bradford wrote: “Surely we may end as we began, with the insistence that God is the one supreme universal need of all humanity, and that need was never more pronounced than in America today.” Would we agree with that analysis of Canada’s need as well today? That’s the question I want us to ask ourselves as we celebrate her 147th birthday this year. Why does Canada need God? I submit for the following three reasons: • Canada needs God because of its unparalleled prosperity. • We could speak of Canada’s abounding natural resources, its increased foreign trade, its expanding bank balances (debts?), its

NARAYAN MITRA You Gotta Have FAITH Gibralter-like position in the markets of the world. • We could say there has never been a nation that has had enormous wealth that rides securely upon the top of the world. A Canadian passport opens doors to many more countries than even that of America. And, yet, we should be aware that ease, luxury and wealth have never assured national continuity. History has only one story to tell and that is about the enervating effect of a comfortable and luxurious prosperity. The great animals — the dinosaurs, the mega-

losaurs and the huge carnivorous lizards, whose skeletons we look at in wonder and amazement in museums — were immune from harm and dangers. They lived safely and luxuriously. Their lives were protected from injury by an impenetrable armor. But, today, they are all extinct. Luxury and an easy life destroyed them, whereas the animals that were alert to dangers are still with us. What is true of individuals is true of nations. Life expectancy in Canada has gone up dramatically. But, trying to serve both mammon and God is sending dangerous signals to Canadians. Canada needs God as never before because life is becoming mechanized. The physical needs of Canadians have developed more quickly than our spiritual appetites are able to absorb.

Machines and technology have expanded, but the man who drives them is still the same as he was before the technological age arrived. Instead of being the master of the machine, he is a slave of his inventions. Of course, he is able to do more than his father did. Automobiles have lengthened his legs. Airplanes have lengthened his arms. Satellite TV and cellphones have extended his voice. He is able to do more, travel faster, reach out further than his ancestors did. The modern man belongs to a technological age where technology is in high gear and in many a hands it is out of control. Who is going to control these released physical forces? Have we the character to use them? Science has endowed man with the power of a superman, but his mind

remains human — all too petty human. He is like a pauper come into a fortune, a labourer who has been put into the position of the boss, a sergeant promoted to command the regiment, a slave made the master of slaves. Man has had no training for such responsibilities as have now been thrust upon him. This new command of time and space, this mastery of unknown forces, this apparition of new perils, this entrance into untried territories is too much for man today. For these reasons, we need to have our moral and mental sanity restored. We need a new moral adjustment to our enlarged physical environment. We need a new spiritual endowment. We need God. Canada needs God because of its present unlimited influence in the world.

We are no longer a self-contained and selfsufficient people. We have far-reaching entangling alliances with nations of the world. Our prosperity and happiness are bound up with peoples of other lands. In a very real sense, the world of tomorrow will be what Canada chooses to make it. We can make it an arena of military competition. We can make it the scene of racial hatred and malicious mischief. On the other hand, we can make this world a palace of peace. We can make it a family of friendly nations. We do not know why nations rise and fall. But, they do. Historians tell us that nations rise and fall in regular rhythmic intervals. Arnold Toynbee, a prominent historian, is stated to have said that there is only one chance for civilization to endure.

Nations have fallen because of inward decay, by committing moral suicide. To live, Canada must lay hold on the living God. How do we do so? Let men and women who seek high public offices, publicly acknowledge God. Let them make some avowal of God’s place in the life of our nation. Let us give our support to every institution that helps the nation to remember its dependence upon God. Let us refuse to have anything to do with any movement that seeks to crowd God out of our life and of our institutions. Let us practice the presence of God in business, homes, and in schools. Let each of us say to his own soul: “My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from Him” (Psalm 62:5). mitraryan225@yahoo.ca

Plura Hills turns 15! By Rev. Carolyn Torhjelm Ronald SPECIAL TO KTW plurahillsunited.com

For 15 years, Plura Hills United Church has been holding regular worship services at its location on Pacific Way and providing space for early-childhood education, outreach projects, special events and being available as a gathering place for the Aberdeen area community. On Sunday, June 29, a special service of thanksgiving will be held at 10 a.m., with a barbecue celebration immediately following. Plura Hills can trace its genesis to 1978, when a society was founded with the moniker “PLURA” to represent Presbyterians, Lutherans, United, Roman Catholics, and Anglicans working together. It was 1978 and the weather hovered around freezing on that November evening, but there was the warmth of excitement as a new community of faith formed to worship together for the first time in the Beattie elementary library. The southwest area of Kamloops was booming with development and people with young families were seeking out ways to connect with each other that would foster spiritual growth and nurture their children in community. On that November evening, an outreach worker, Mae Gracey, was appointed to get to work drawing

people together in innovative ways. Mid-week learning circles and children’s programming meeting in homes and schools expanded the web of relationships. The dream got bigger. A plan was made to build a community centre in the Aberdeen area that would be a focal point. For 20 years, people of faith created a community of support where joys and sorrows were shared, memories made, and children raised. Scrapbooks were filled with snapshots and mementoes of milestones celebrated in homes, community rooms, converted convenience store, and in the great outdoors. It was time for a new milestone. A shovel was painted gold so sod could be turned. On a pleasantly warm June day in 1999, the community gathered at its new permanent address at 2090 Pacific Way. The dream lives on. Lots of things have changed since 1978, but something that has stayed the same is that those who seek an authentic, loving, supportive, Christian community will find it in the warmth of the people of Plura Hills. It is a place where the word of God comes to life in acts of kindness and caring. All are welcome to join in the celebration. And to keep dreaming the dream.

Muriel Cooper November 26, 1924 - June 13, 2014

It is with profound sorrow and loss we announce the passing of our mother, Muriel Cooper, on June 13, 2014 in Kamloops, B.C.

Derek John Galbraith September 23, 1988 ~ June 24, 2008

On the first day of summer, Margaret “Bubs” Brown passed away with loving family at her side. She was born November 10, 1933 in Vancouver to Peter and Donna Jones. As an infant she was nicknamed Bubbles by her Dad ~ a name that stuck with her for life because it suited her vivacious personality. Bubs often said that all she ever wanted was to be a wife and mother and so at the age of 17 when she met and fell in love with “her quiet man”, Keith, her fate was sealed. They lived their entire married life in and around Kamloops, often in very rustic conditions but always with much love and laughter. They raised their three children on a firm foundation of love, honor, respect and trust. Bubs was predeceased by her parents and her brothers Don “Duke” and Jim. She is survived by her husband of 63 years, Keith, son Jim (Sally) and daughters Kathy (Tom) and Leslie (Gord). She also leaves four treasured grandchildren, Sean (Liz), Lindsay (Ryan), Allison and Kevin and three great-grandchildren Nicolaas, Hannah and Jonathan. When first learning to talk, Hannah would phone her Granny BUGS and they would sing silly songs together. Bubs is also survived by her big sister, Hazel and a wonderful network of nieces, nephews, cousins and many, many friends. The family would like to give special thanks to the nurses and doctors of Royal Inland Hospital’s 4th floor North. We were so blessed by the care and compassion this wonderful team gave Bubs and the family. A Memorial Service will take place Saturday, July 12, 2014 at 2:00 pm at the Kamloops Funeral Home. Memorial donations may be made to the MS Society of Kamloops. Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

Art’s work in the mining industry led the family to Logan Lake in 1972, where Pat resided until her passing. In her younger years, Pat enjoyed sports, such as figure skating, curling and baseball; she also loved cooking and entertaining. A devoted mother and grandmother, Pat enjoyed nothing more than spending time with her family snowmobiling, camping and exploring BC, when not at their cabin in the Cariboo. She was taken too early, and will be dearly missed by her family and friends. The family wishes to extend a special thank you to Dr. Ruth Farren, Dr. Evan Rollheiser, the staff at RIH, and the staff at Kamloops Hospice. In lieu of flowers, donations in Pat’s name to the Kamloops Hospice would be greatly appreciated. A Celebration of Pat’s Life will take place at 2:00pm on Saturday, June 28th, 2014, in the Black Bull Pub in Logan Lake, with Chris and Claire Newman officiating. Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

Thank you

A VERY SPECIAL YOUNG MAN If memories stay within The thoughts, And love within the heart, Then how can it be truly said That dear ones ever part? So many will remember him And things he used to say, And a special closeness Still remains… To all, he is just away. We truly miss you Derek; just like it was yesterday! Mom, Dad, Brent & Jess.

Each Loss ... Each loss is very diﬀerent, The pain is so severe. Will I ever stop missing This one I loved so dear? Good times we had together, The moments that we shared We didn’t have to tell each other How much we really cared.

The family of the late Bonnie Ellis of Kamloops, formerly of Campbell River, wishes to express our deep gratitude and appreciation for the cards, emails, letters and verbal expressions of sympathy that we have received. Your kindness and words of condolence have meant so much to us.

I never dreamed you’d go away, Never thought of sorrow. So sure you’d always be here Took for granted each tomorrow. Now my life is all confused Since you went away. You took a part of me And for help I daily pray. But when God sent you to me He never said that you were mine, That I could keep you always – Only borrowed for a time. Now, He’s called you home, I’m sad and I shed tears. Yet I’m glad He loaned you to me And we had these many years.

Dogs thirsty to end drought By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

UDGING BY their home record, the Players Bench Kamloops RiverDogs are in with a chance of ending the 13-year Daley and Company Canada Day Classic curse. The Dogs — 14-8 on the season, good enough for fourth in the B.C. Minor Baseball Association midget AAA ranks — are 7-1 playing on McArthur Island, with the 14th annual tourney set to run from today (June 26) to Sunday, June 29. “We’ve been really good this year at home,” said Kamloops centrefielder Isiah McDonald, who will age out of midget baseball at the end of the season. “It’d be an honour to get my name on the trophy once before I leave.” McDonald and the RiverDogs fell 8-0 to the Langley Junior Blaze in the 2013 final at Norbrock Stadium, which, along with the Canada Games Field on McArthur, will be the site for this year’s tournament. Kamloops won the inaugural Canada Day Classic in 2001 and has not hoisted the trophy since. “The teams we invite are high-calibre clubs and we do that on purpose because we want to challenge ourselves and we want to put good products on the field for fans to come out and watch good baseball,” RiverDogs’ manager

Riley Johnson and the Kamloops RiverDogs will be gunning for gold at the Daley and Company Canada Day Classic, which runs from today (June 26) to Sunday, June 29, on McArthur Island. Kamloops plays tonight at 7 p.m. at Norbrock Stadium. Allen Douglas/KTW

Sean Wandler said. “We’re in tough. We bring in the top-tier teams from Alberta and the B.C. Junior Premier League. “We’ve had good clubs and come close. It’s like anything else, though, just getting over that hump.” The 10-team field is strong again this year. Playing in Pool A along with Kamloops are the Okanagan A’s, the Red Deer Braves, the White Rock Tritons and the Edmonton Cardinals. Langley, the Calgary Junior Dinos, the Spruce Grove Sox, the Sherwood Park Dukes and the Nanaimo Junior Pirates comprise Pool B. Kamloops will no doubt be relishing the home cooking this weekend, having endured a stretch of 16 straight

road games (four of them in tournament play in Kelowna) between May 10 and June 1, posting a record of 6-10. To make matters worse, the RiverDogs made the trek to Cloverdale on June 14 only to arrive and find out the doubleheader against the Spurs had been cancelled due to rainfall. “It’s a grind for sure, having to get up early on the Saturday, travel out to play a doubleheader and play another doubleheader on Sunday and come home late that night,” Wandler said. “Then the kids have to go to school on Monday and do the whole thing all over again the following weekend. “It plays a factor and the kids are getting

a bit fatigued. It will definitely be nice to be at home.” Organizers will be asking the baseball gods for some help. The weather outlook for today, according to Environment Canada, is a mix of sun and cloud, a 40 per cent chance of showers and risk of a thunderstorm in the evening. There is a 40 per cent chance of showers on Friday and a 60 per cent chance on Saturday and Sunday. “We usually have quality weather and the facilities are awesome and there’s that tournament buzz down at the park,” Wandler said. “There’s an energy down there. “That tradition is there. It’s always pencilled in for

this weekend.” Grade 10 pitcher Brendan Coulter is emerging as the ace on Kamloops’ pitching staff and the RiverDogs will rely heavily on McDonald, outfielder/ first-baseman Jackson Lowes, third-baseman/ pitcher Riley Johnson and catcher Connor McKenzie, each of whom were named to the league’s InteriorVancouver Island all-star team. On the line is a $1,250 purse, $500 of which goes to the winner. Adding to the RiverDogs’ coffers would be nice — ending a 13-year drought would be better. “There’s pressure situations and there’s more on the line. It gives us an environment you can’t create on a league weekend,” Wandler said of the Canada Day Classic. “That’s baseball — you’ve got to put it all together in one weekend.”

The RiverDogs’ tournament schedule

Kamloops is playing each of its round-robin games at Norbrock. X vs. Red Deer, 7 p.m., today. X vs. Edmonton, 3 p.m., Friday. X vs. Okanagan, 8:30 p.m., Friday. X vs. White Rock, 6 p.m., Saturday.

Williams: Redskins name needs to go

F YOU WERE rooting for the Washington Indian Scalpers, would the nickname shock and offend you? Of course. If you are a fan of the NFL’s Washington Redskins, the nickname should equally shock and offend. For those of you who haven’t been following along, the Redskins name has come under renewed public scrutiny in recent years, with protestors, humanrights advocates and Native American groups more vocal in their distaste of what they deem to be an offensive term turned sports icon. The United States Patent and Trademark Office cancelled the Washington Redskins’ trademark last week, adding fuel to the growing fire. The 99-page ruling said the team’s name and logo were disparaging. Without the trademark, the team will struggle to protect against counterfeit merchandise and infringement on its logo and name. An Esquire blog entry by Baxter Holmes, a Native American of Cherokee and Choctaw descent, outlined the historical meaning of Redskin. In the mid-1700s, the genocide of Native Americans was a government institution.

ADAM WILLIAMS Fooled ‘em AGAIN In Massachusetts, the Phips Proclamation called for “His Majesty’s subjects to Embrace all opportunities of pursuing, captivating, killing and Destroying all and every of the aforesaid Indians.” Killing Native Americans paid well — 50 pounds for adult males, 25 for females and 20 for children under 12. All one needed to do was present a redskin, the bloody scalp of a Native American, to receive his or her payment. The issue came up on my Facebook timeline last week and sparked a debate, my opponent argued the name no longer held that meaning to anyone. I disagree. As Holmes wrote in Esquire: “NonNatives may never quite understand how deep the term “redskins” cuts into ancient wounds that have never quite healed, and maybe it’s not reasonable to expect them to.

Edmonton FC tilt highlights KYSA’s 50th birthday celebration STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

This weekend could be an eye-opening one for the Kamloops Youth Soccer Association’s (KYSA) Cole Hooper. The Sa-Hali secondary grad will lace up his cleats as part of the Kamloops men’s all-star team facing Edmonton FC in a soccer friendly on Sunday, June 29. The Edmonton club is a member of the professional North American Soccer League, one step down from Major League Soccer. “With the matchup itself, they’re a professional squad. I mean, these guys eat, drink and sleep soccer every day,” said John Antulov, who will coach Kamloops. “From my standpoint as a coach, it’s just putting the guys out there just for them to have a good experience and see what it’s going to be like to play against guys at that level.” The match, one of a number of celebratory events taking place this year for KYSA’s 50th anniversary, will kick off at 3 p.m. on McArthur Island Field 2. Edmonton FC will have an open training session on Saturday,

June 28, at 4 p.m., on McArthur Island Field 1. The all-star team will be dominated by KYSA graduates, with a few current youth soccer players and outside additions sprinkled in. For Hooper, a member of KYSA’s under18 rep team, the match will be the highest-level soccer he has played. “Well, it’s obviously a great opportunity,” the 18-year-old told KTW. “I’ve never played at that level before so it’s going to be a bit of an adjustment. Hooper will be one of a number of freshmen competing for a full-time spot on the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack men’s team this season. He’ll have the opportunity to red shirt if he doesn’t make the club out of camp. The men’s all-star team will feature a number of WolfPack regulars as well. Hooper said he’s a little nervous heading into the match, but is treating it as a learning opportunity. He doesn’t necessarily have aspirations to play professionally, but would be open to it. This match will give him an opportunity to see what’s needed to play and compete

at that level. That’s what Antulov is hoping most players can take from the match. He’s also excited to showcase a high level of soccer for fans of the sport in the Tournament Capital. “The squad’s going to be pretty good, so we want to give them a game, but we’re also

very realistic in what the expectations are.” Tickets for the match are $5 for adults and $3 for children. They can be purchased from the McArthur Island KYSA office or Hansport. Tickets are available for free upon request with the purchase of a meal at McDonald’s.

Lions ink head coach Benevides to two-year deal CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — The B.C. Lions signed head coach Mike Benevides to a contract extension through the 2016 season on Tuesday, June 24. Benevides, a 46-year-old Toronto native, is entering his third season as Lions head coach since replacing Wally Buono following the team’s

2011 Grey Cup victory. Benevides has a 24-12 overall record, but is 16-2 at home. “I am very proud of the men we have assembled to try and bring home the Grey Cup this year and I will continue to make that our No. 1 goal each and every day I have the privilege of leading these outstanding men,’’ Benevides said. Benevides began his

CFL coaching career 15 years ago but has spent the past 10 seasons with B.C. He served as the club’s special-teams coordinator and linebackers coach from 2003 to 2007 before being promoted to defensive co-ordinator in 2008, a post he held until being named head coach. B.C. kicks off the 2014 season hosting the Edmonton Eskimos on Saturday, June 28.

Football team’s name is racist X From A31

“But every time [club owner] Dan Snyder refuses to change his NFL team’s name, even with tribes paying for powerful ads in opposition like the one that recently aired during the NBA Finals, Snyder plunges along, twisted blade into our hearts.” I’ll admit not every Native American feels this way. A 2013 CBS DC story featured a number of people who supported the name. But, with a name that is outrageously offensive to some, does it matter that not everyone is opposed? Some, including those in the CBS DC article, claim the Redskins name actually honours Native American history. Now I’m confused. I’ve heard it said people are being hypersensitive, that other nicknames — the Chiefs, Blackhawks, Eskimos and Indians — should have similar issues with their names if we’re to get into it. Maybe that’s true but, if we’re looking at histories, we should do it for everyone. The Blackhawks are named after Chief Black Hawk, the namesake of the team’s founder’s military unit. The Kansas City Chiefs were the Dallas Texans and inherited their new name via a name-the-team contest and as a nod to Kansas

City Mayor Roe Bartle, nicknamed “Chief” in honour of his work in incorporating Native American values in the Boys Scouts organization. The Cleveland Indians have begun to phase out Chief Wahoo in their merchandise and uniforms. Plenty of college teams have changed their names — the St. John’s Redmen are now the Red Storm, the Miami University of Ohio Redskins are now the Redhawks. The Redskins’ team name uses a word that once referred to the scalped head of a Native American, sold like a pelt. This isn’t about “hypersensitivity,” as my Facebook opponent claimed. This is about a racial slur, which genuinely makes a lot of people uncomfortable. This is a matter of doing what’s right. Many newspapers — Seattle Times, The Oregonian, San Francisco Chronicle, Kansas City Star, among others — have deleted the Redskins nickname in stories. Club owner Snyder should follow suit and pick up the eraser. The Tattle of Hastings appears in KTW on Thursdays. Williams stepped in today for Marty Hastings.

Ranford raves about Desjardins Canucks introduce new bench boss By Marty Hastings STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Willie Desjardins, the new head coach of the Vancouver Canucks, has his detractors. Brendan Ranford isn’t one of them. “He’s the best coach I’ve ever had,” said Ranford, a former member of the Kamloops Blazers who this season won the American Hockey League championship playing with the Texas Stars under Desjardins. “He’s such a passionate coach that wants the best out of you all the time and gets the best out of you. He works you hard. He loves up-tempo, hard-working and honest hockey players.” Vancouver hired Desjardins on Monday, June 23. The Stars gave Ranford a shot, inking the 22-year-old to a tryout contract in May of 2013. He finished the regular season eighth in team scoring with 33 points, 12 of them goals, in 65 games. Ranford had an excellent playoff, recording eight goals and 16 points in 21 games, good enough for third in team postseason scoring. Without the trust of Desjardins, the Edmonton product isn’t sure where he would be today. “Me, being a guy that had only an AHL contract in my first year, he gave me an opportunity and gave me a chance,” said Ranford, who amassed 357 points, 137 of them goals, in 348 games with the Blazers, landing him sixth alltime in franchise scoring.

Vancouver Canucks’ head coach Willie Desjardins.

“He didn’t just look at guys that had NHL contracts. He gave everyone a fair shake and a fair shot.” Steve Marr, a defenceman from Kamloops who played under Desjardins with the Medicine Hat Tigers, wrote a letter of support for his ex-coach to the Province newspaper less than six hours after the San Jose Sharks swept the Canucks out of the 2013 playoffs. The 600-or-so-word testimonial outlines why Desjardins — who led the Tigers to two Memorial Cup appearances — is the man for the job. Positive reviews from those coached by Desjardins don’t mean much in terms of predicting the Canucks’ future, but there are at least two players with Kamloops ties on board with the Desjardins hiring. Vancouver went a different route than the one Marr suggested, hiring John Tortorella after Alain Vigneault’s departure last May. Comparisons between Tortorella, who was fired on May 1, and Desjardins are inevitable and much of the talk has focused on the former’s seemingly perpetual place in the spotlight and the latter’s desire to avoid it.

Desjardins’ disinclination for the limelight should not be mistaken for timidity, according to Ranford. “He’s a guy, for sure, that yells a lot [in the dressing room], but he just wants the most for you,” said Ranford, who will spend the summer in Vancouver. “He’s really intense and he wants you to play as hard as you can.” It remains to be seen how Desjardins will adjust his coaching style to fit the NHL ranks and if the Climax, Sask., product can build on his recent successes. Canucks’ fans will be hoping he can turn the franchise around, as he did with the Dallas Stars’ AHL affiliate. Vancouver had a poor 20132014 season, finishing out of the playoffs for the first time since 2008 with a record of 36-35-11. Texas finished dead last in the AHL’s Western Conference in the 2011-2012 campaign. Desjardins took over in 2012-2013 and led the Stars to the second round of the playoffs. The Lone Star State franchise claimed its first Calder Cup on June 17. Ranford cited the Texas turnaround and, while he did note there are no guarantees it will happen again in Vancouver, he said Desjardins is more than deserving of a shot at the highest level. “He’s won everywhere,” Ranford said. “He’s proven time and time again that he can win. “He’s made me a better defensive player and he’s an unbelievable coach.”

By Monte Stewart CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — Few coaches would turn down the chance to coach superstars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin — but Willie Desjardins did. Instead of choosing to take the available coaching job with the Pittsburgh Penguins, Desjardins decided that he would rather guide Daniel and Henrik Sedin and their Vancouver Canuck teammates. “I think Pittsburgh has great players as well, but I like the package here,’’ said Desjardins at a news conference after his appointment as the 18th coach in Vancouver’s history was announced. Desjardins said “a couple of things didn’t work out’’ in his negotiations with the Penguins. “Sidney Crosby’s a heck of a player, obviously, but for me, I looked at the two guys that were leading this [Canucks president of hockey operations Trevor Linden and general manager Jim Benning], I looked at the quality of their players, Canadian market, Vancouver fans — it was a great choice,’’ said Desjardins. It’s the first NHL head-coaching job for Desjardins, a 57-year-old native of the tiny village of Climax, Sask., who most recently led the AHL’s Texas Stars to a Calder Cup championship. “It wasn’t something where you always to have try to get to the NHL,’’ he said. “But, once you’re past 40, you’re probably wondering if your chance is going to come, so it’s a great opportunity.’’

Prior to his tenure in the AHL, Desjardins spent two seasons as an associate coach with the Dallas Stars from 2010 to 2012. He also served as head coach (2002-2010) and general manager (2005-2010) of the Western Hockey League’s Medicine Hat Tigers, where he led the team to two Memorial Cup tournaments, including the 2007 final. Desjardins’ resume also includes stints on Canada’s staff at two world junior tournaments and one world championship, as well as time coaching with the University of Calgary and in Japan. He recalled telling his wife Rhonda, whom he married in 1991, that he was going to be an NHL head coach one day. “I was trying to talk her into marrying me, and I said, ‘Rhonda, I’m going to be an NHL coach.’ I just didn’t tell her it was going to take 25 years,’’ he said. Desjardins’ hiring comes in advance of Friday’s (June 27) NHL draft, where the Canucks will have the sixth-overall pick, pending any trades. The future of centre Ryan Kesler, who has been the subject of considerable trade speculation in recent months, could also be decided at the draft. Benning indicated that the Canucks are prepared to trade Kesler, if necessary. Doug Lidster of Kamloops is rumoured to be Desjardin’s top choice for lead assistant coach in Vancouver. Lidster served on staff with Desjardins in Medicine Hat and Texas.

Kamloops artist Bill Frymire stands with his mural, The Queen of Pennies, depicting Queen Elizabeth II and crafted from thousands of old and new pennies.

4,000 PENNIES FOR YOUR THOUGHTS

By Jessica Wallace STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

ILL FRYMIRE KNOWS his four-foot mural of Queen Elizabeth II is worth at least $40. After all, it is made from about 4,000 pennies. The Kamloops artist designed the round mural resembling the back of Canada’s former one-cent piece. Entitled The Queen of Pennies, the exhibit is on display at the Chazou Gallery of Contemporary Art, at 791 Victoria St. in downtown Kamloops. It is one-half of a display Frymire designed for a temporary exhibit at the Peace Arch border

crossing last year. Displayed from May through October, Queen Elizabeth II faced Canada, while Abraham Lincoln — made from about 4,000 American pennies — faced the United States. “I like to tie the materials to the subject matter,” Frymire said. About 300 hours went into the art, with much of that time dedicated to gathering the coins. He needed pennies of all ages and shades to create highlights and shadows that make up each figures’ facial features. From sparkly, mint coins to older ones from the 1920s and 1930s, Frymire collected some of the pennies, while others were donated. The American pennies were

tough to come by and Frymire said he attracted several funny looks from banktellers in the process. “I probably had 20,000 pennies,” he said of his total collection. It wasn’t all work, though. He added fun to the installation. A closer look at each mural will reveal an “Easter Egg,” a surprise added to engage people. A single Canadian penny can be found on the American mural and, conversely, an American one is hidden in the Canadian mural. Frymire is known in the Tournament Capital for his photography and sculptural mosaics and he is working on a public-art mosaic for the City of Edmonton. He’s unsure what his next project will be — but, after purchasing

about 20,000 marbles from Kijiji, it could include something along the lines of “Einstein losing his marbles.” Meanwhile, Frymire’s Canadian penny mural will be on display at the little house on Victoria Street throughout the summer, alongside gallery owner Tricia Sellmer’s exhibit. Infused Encounters features three solo exhibits. About 21 of the pieces are by Sellmer, pastel oil on canvas crafted in Sellmer’s style of garden paintings. Her work is paired with exhibits by Aganetha Dyck and Jayne Holsinger. Canadian artist, Dyck, has two pieces included in the exhibit, made from shrunken wool.

Holsinger has 44 pieces — all 12-by-12 gouache nature paintings — that Sellmer said are “in vogue” in New York City, where Holsinger lives. The two artists mentored Sellmer during her master’s of fine arts, and she’s stayed in touch with them ever since. She’s thrilled to be shown alongside her former mentors, now her peers. “We were sort of three unlikely women coming together,” Sellmer said. “It’s wonderful.” A public opening for the summer exhibits will be held at the gallery on Friday, June 27, at 7 p.m. Holsinger and Sellmer will be in attendance. All are welcome.

of Art gardening the

By Karla Pearce

SPECIAL TO KTW karlapearcegallery.com

T CAN BECOME almost obsessive at times — all the thinking, colourcoding, planning and preparation. Then, finally, it’s here: Gardening season. I sometimes wonder why I become so immersed in spring gardening. I think it’s the sense of contentment and tranquility that comes from observing a single flower or patchworks of colour and texture that blossom in the sunlight. Gardening is a little different than painting. It is an assertion of influence on a small piece of the environment.

When painting, we are in complete control of the universe we are creating or the message we are conveying. When gardening, we channel the elements of the garden's environment, producing beautiful living things. Sometimes you achieve the effect you want with the right mix of effort and letting life do its thing. As long as you remember to water, anyone can garden. I like a style of gardening that maximizes the quantity and variety of eatable and floral beauty. A healthy garden can mirror a healthy state of being. It can also welcome many forms of life by providing easy access to

those things necessary to survival. Once the flowers are blooming, I can’t help but be drawn to the ever-changing beauty of the natural world. Often I’ll photograph flowers to capture that particular moment in time, so they can be painted later. I’ll use my camera if it’s around, but often my phone is much handier. There is an app called PicsArt that provides plenty of creative fun. The app allows you to turn your phone photograph of the flower into a piece of art within a couple of minutes. It is very enabling and intuitive and, unlike painting, it doesn’t take years of

practice to get good. In the image of the iris, I used the crop function, intensified the colour and juiced it up. I took the small details of the flower and transformed it into digital art. Sometimes weeds can be beautiful too. With the dandelion,

I zoomed in on the centre of the flower in the photo using the app and the seeds were ready for flight. I amped up the colour and used a mirror function, transforming it into a bug-like creature from another planet. The transformative

aspect of digital art is amazing. Gardening and creativity helps us be more connected to the ground and ourselves. It is wonderful spending time in an oasis of colour and perfume. And gardens sustain in more ways than one

— nothing compares to the flavour of a salad that you lovingly grew yourself. Karla Pearce is the owner of the Karla Pearce Art Gallery. For more information, go online to karlapearcegallery.com.

Notes on: Compassion Gorilla � WHO: Compassion Gorilla is made up of Dan Beer on drums, Daniel Cryderman on trombone and vocals, Ian Daykin on violin and vocals, Shelter Dayne Footz on trumpet and vocals — getting the feeling this is a unique band? — Chris Fretwell on guitar, charango ands vocals, Julie Gennai on accordion and vocals and Adam Reese on bass and vocals. What’s a charango, you ask? It’s a tiny relative of the ukulele and guitar, with its origins in the Bolivian Andes. � WHAT: Fretwell explains the band’s his-

tory: “People know that a Compassion Gorilla show means an event — costumes, celebration and outlandish dancing. Infused with elements of Latin and African music, Compassion Gorilla combines tight instrumental arrangements with songs and storytelling. The result is a high-energy show that leaves the audience wanting more.” � WHEN: Compassion Gorilla began in 2008 as a four-piece folk and world-beat act, inspired through ritual house-party jams where the open participation of music and dance lifted

the roof. The band steadily grew and evolved over the years in search of the perfect dance-band recipe, incorporating a horn section, violin, accordion and, eventually, a drum kit. � WHERE: In 2013, the band toured Mexico for three-and-a-half months, playing over 40 gigs in that time and incorporating new musical styles and influences along the way. Colibrís en Vuelo, the band’s newest recording, is a snapshot of this journey, including many of the musical collaborators encountered along the way. The band performs in Kamloops for the first

time at Music in the Park in Riverside Park on Thursday, July 4, starting at 7 p.m. � WHY: There are many reasons why they remain friends, bonded ever stronger by the music. Schwalb says they share the same sense of humour, always loved jamming for friends or at parties and have an ability to write together, rehearse together, perform together and stay friends. � HOW: Go online to compassiongorilla.com, facebook.com/CompassionGorilla?fref=ts and @ compassiongoril on Twitter.

Bright Red Book Bus delivers books to kids School district aims to keep kids reading this summer with two literacy programs A bus of a different colour — and purpose — will visit schools and city parks this summer. The Bright Red Book Bus — a red-roofed bus filled with children’s books — will be making scheduled stops at schools and parks in Kamloops and providing books to youngsters. It begins in July as part of two literacy projects by School District 73 designed to encourage students to read throughout the summer. The other project, called the New-to-Grade 2 Summer Book Club, provides books to Grade 1 students to encourage summer reading. It is expected to eventually expand for students in Grade 3 and 4. Both projects were created by a joint partnership between the school district, the Boys and Girls Club of Kamloops, Literacy in Kamloops and the TNRD Library. The Bright Red Book Bus will

be at local schools as follows: • Tuesdays: Kay Bingham elementary, 950 Southill St. from 10 a.m. to noon and Parkcrest elementary, 2170 Parkcrest Ave. from 1

covered in patina. Bumblebee eventually converts into a fifth-generation Camaro. However, this was in July 2007, two years before the Camaro would go on sale, so Chevrolet had to build a one-off running concept for the movie. But, one Transformer can’t fight on his own, which is why the team was also tasked with designing an Allspark Green Tint Corvette Stingray to play Crosshairs and a Chevrolet Sonic rally car. Those vehicles will be joined by the Trax, which recently went on sale in China, and is set to go on sale in the U.S. early next year. The movie makes extensive use of GM facilities as settings for the film.

A Chevrolet Camaro that converts into the iconic Bumblebee returns to the big screen in Michael Bay’s Transformers: Age of Extinction, in theaters on Friday, June 27. This is the Camaro’s fourth appearance in a Transformers film. The first three movies helped propel Camaro to sales leadership in its segment for the past four years. In the first film of the series, Bumblebee goes through arguably his biggest change. The car starts off as a handme-down 1977 second-generation Camaro. The car is anything but flashy, with rust and primer spots, its famous yellow paint

Check out some of the reasons why Nissan is

A new airbag design on the 2015 Ford Mustang raises the bar for passenger safety, with inflatable restraint protection in a smaller, lighter package that enables a roomier interior. It will be introduced later this year as part of a standard safety system that includes a more sensors, safety belt anchor pretensioners, improved exterior lighting and double the total number of airbags on the all-new Mustang. An inflatable plastic bladder is integrated into the glove box door and provides front passenger knee protection similar to a conventional knee airbag mounted under the instrument panel. To make the new knee airbag possible, Ford engineers developed and tested innovative materials and construction techniques. Unlike a traditional fabric airbag, the new system consists of a pliable, injection-molded plastic bladder sandwiched between the inner and outer glove box door panels. After a vehicle impact is detected by the crash sensor and classified, an inflator fills the bladder, extending the entire glove box outer door panel toward the front passenger’s legs. The resulting design is 65 per cent lighter with an inflator that is approximately 75 per cent smaller than a conventional knee airbag inflator, while providing comparable protection to the passenger. The improved packaging of the system is more discreet, with no visible seams or airbag cover. This has given designers more flexibility to move the dashboard closer to the windshield, enhancing the feeling of roominess in the cabin.

Wine Down with Chad Brownlee on June 28

Lisa Verity looked for inspiration from the Okanagan for a new fundraising idea. Verity, events co-ordinator for the local Heart and Stroke Foundation, said the organization drew inspiration from a wine-based concert series when it partnered with Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Trail winery for the first time for an outdoor wine and dine event. Chad Brownlee, a Canadian country artist native to Kelowna was even chosen to perform live. The event â&#x20AC;&#x201D; dubbed Wine Down with Chad Brownlee and held on Saturday, June 28 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will be intimate, said Verity, with just 300 tickets available. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to do something different, something that would be a good fit for Kamloops,â&#x20AC;? she said. Brownlee is known for songs like Smoke in the Rain and Listen. He released his newest album on June 3, entitled The Fighters.

He will bring his lead guitarist, Mitch Merrett. Brownlee and Merrett will perform an acoustic show, Terra Restaurant will cater the event â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with southwest-style food â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Trail will provide wine tastings. The property on East Shuswap Road will be lined with tents for the dining portion of the evening, while Brownlee will perform inside the barn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really wanted to do something that would work for the community and we wanted to stay community focused,â&#x20AC;? Verity said. She hopes the fundraiser will pull in $25,000. Tickets for the event are $125 and must be purchased in advance from the winery by calling 250-573-5855, or at the Heart and Stroke Foundation, Kamloops Caribou office, 729 Victoria St. The show begins at 6 p.m. and ends at 9 p.m.

SPECIAL TO KTW

If you love unique landscapes, you need to hike to the Pillar at Pillar Provincial Park. This area was once a native spiritual site and, once you lay your eyes on this beautiful 90-foot-tall creation of Mother Nature in the most amazing vista, you will see why. This two-hectare park located 11 kilometers northwest of Falkland was formed to protect a unique sandstone conglomerate pillar that looks like a background setting from a dinosaur movie. On the top of the pillar balances a boulder that has been estimated to weigh about eight tonnes. A marked trail brings you to the base of the pillar, which is a 20-minute hike from the lake. You may want to wear a hiking shoe and be prepared for slippery mud if it is raining. Be sure to view the pillar from above and below and be sure to bring your camera to take your own unique Pillar Poses. If you decide to make Pillar Lake your destination for a few days, book a room at the Pillar Lake Resort. Open year-round, this little gem offers rustic lake-view cabins to people who come to the area to enjoy fishing and hiking and, in the winter, sledding and ice fishing. On your way home, be sure to stop for a bite to eat at the famous Falkland Pub. A favourite pit-stop for bikers, this saloon serves up a great selection of pub grub and comfort food for all palates. � To watch a video and discover other interesting day trips in our area, go online to WhereToGoAndHowToGetThere.com. � How to get there: From Kamloops, drive east on Highway 1 and take the exit to Vernon. Take Highway 97 to Falkland and turn left ,just before the pub, onto ChaseFalkland road. Follow the road for approximately 11 kilometres. You will first pass Joyce Lake, after which you will see Pillar Lake. There is free parking, picnic tables and outhouses.

SCHOOL’S OUT

THEATRE IN THE PARK

What are you doing with the kids all summer? The Kamloops Arts Council’s (KAC) Rivertown Players are just your ticket. “All children in our community deserve to participate in the arts,” said KAC executive director Kathy Sinclair. “Taking your family to see free performances by emerging actors is a great opportunity.” The summer theatre program is now in its 14th year. Historically, all performances took place at Riverside Park; this year, the Players will also take their shows on the road — to the North Shore and further afield.

These and other additions and enhancements to the program — such as having local theatre pro Heidi Verwey mentor the troupe and holding interactive workshops for kids on activities like mask-making — will require some extra funding. The KAC has launched a crowdfunding campaign — donate online and choose from a list of benefits, including a high-five from one of the actors, getting a character named after you or your child or even a private performance. To make a donation, go online to http://www.

SCHOOLS OUT! TIME TO ZIPLINE!

gofundme.com/8tdvjg. “The Rivertown Players are all about free family entertainment but, below the surface, theatre is a tool for selfdiscovery, creative expression and strong mental health,” Sinclair said. The Rivertown Players will present their free performances five days a week throughout July and August. Their first performance will be at Art in the Park on Canada Day.

picnics in the park. It is time for art projects, museum visits and walks for ice cream. It is time to marvel at the natural world of bird nests, tadpoles and marmots on urban nature walks. It is time for field trips to the B.C. Wildlife Park, to Kenna Cartwright Park and to Sun Peaks.

It is also time to look and listen for cars and be careful not to get sunburned. Everything I need to know, I learned in my preschool years. I learned to share my toys, be kind to people, look both ways and eat my vegetables. I learned that friends make the world go ‘round and that, in order to have friends, I need to be a friend. I learned naps are good. These are all sensible pearls of wisdom for life. The main lens of the Kamloops Child Development Centre programming is focused on the natural world and the human world view — on the linkages between the environmental realities of our planet and how we learn to behave as humans. Programming is designed to set the stage for growing healthy people. Healthy people participate in community affairs, things like contributing to the causes that
