Police say they are going to recommend criminal charges against a Kamloops hockey father alleged to have verbally attacked a referee following a junior A game in Penticton. Penticton RCMP Sgt. Rick Dellebuur said the incident took place at the South Okanagan Events Centre on Friday, Feb. 20, following a B.C. Hockey League game between the Merritt Centennials and the Penticton Vees. In the parking lot, Dellebuur said, the father

of one of the Merritt players approached one of the referees as he was walking to his vehicle. “It was a player on the Merritt team, but the father is from Kamloops,” Dellebuur said. “There was some screaming and some threats made. It would have got physical if the son hadn’t held his father back.” Dellebuur said the 52-year-old suspect also punched the referee’s vehicle as he drove away. “The investigation is in its early stages,” he said. “A report to Crown counsel will be submitted,

Last year, parents of a Winnipeg minor-hockey player were barred from arenas for three years after an altercation with the coach of an opposing team at a tournament in Fargo, N.D.

allegations are not something investigators often deal with, but they come at a time when hockey parents have been making headlines for all the wrong reasons. Last month, minorhockey officials on Vancouver Island asked parents to tone down their aggression, noting their actions caused some teenaged referees to quit.

Working towards :

ZERO WASTE The City of Kamloops is working towards Zero Waste at the Tournament Capital Centre. On November 7th, 2014 a waste audit took place to better understand what waste is being generated, how much is generated and where in the facility it is generated.

Steps to become a zero waste facility are underway. Currently in the office spaces, all individual garbage cans removed and replaced with deskside recycling containers, leaving garbage cans only in central areas. Compost collection bins have been distributed throughout the offices and large composting vessels are on site and have already produced valuable soil conditioner for the gardens around the building.

March 10 1:30 pm - Regular Council Meeting March 11 5:30 pm - Heritage Commission Kamloops Museum, 207 Seymour Street

In the near future, guests at TCC will soon see waste stations throughout the building where they will be able to divert their materials into one of four waste streams; organics, recyclable, refundable and garbage.

March 16 4:30 pm - Arts Commission Corporate Boardroom, City Hall March 19 9 am - Food & Urban Agriculture Plan Advisory Committee TCC Meeting Room A, 910 McGill Road March 25 5 pm - Social Planning Council DES Boardroom, 105 Seymour Street Regular City Council meetings are broadcast on Shaw Cable as follows: Thurs and Sat at 11 am and Sun at 7 pm.

The audit revealed some interesting findings: > 32% compostable organics of waste > 29% recyclable material > 7% liquids > 6% garbage bags The single most abundant material in a single waste source was diapers, accounting for 39% of all waste from the washrooms, and 11% of the entire waste stream.

Council meetings can also be viewed online at: kamloops.ca/webcast. Meeting schedule is available at kamloops.ca/council.

Notes Water Meter Billing Metered customers are now billed quarterly.

Flat-rate customers will continue to be billed semi-annually.

Remember: Rethink to reduce waste - when making purchases ask yourself is the packaging minimal and recyclable?

Reduce what we use - by purchasing less Reuse when we can - by using reusable containers and bags Recycle what we don’t reduce and can’t reuse

Spring Cleaning ~ Street Sweeping Notice Weather permitting, City crews will begin spring sweeping of streets in the valley bottom and working into the higher elevations throughout the City. The Spring Sweeping program on average requires 6 to 8 weeks to complete. In an effort to reduce sweeping time and costs, signs will be posted in the areas that are being swept advising the public not to park on the street. Some high density areas will have parking restrictions posted and/or notices delivered in advance of sweeping, for example, downtown east. Residents who wish to sweep the area in front of their property are advised to remove the pile of sand accumulated as these piles can damage a sweeper, and operators are instructed to swerve around such piles.

Please refer to the chart below for the new billing cycles.

Your co-operation is appreciated. Inquiries can be made by calling 250-828-3461.

The City of Kamloops has prepared a draft Urban Forest Management Strategy, which provides information on the City’s trees and their values, existing tree management policies and practices, and comparisons with other jurisdictions. Existing metered customers should expect their bills near the end of February. Phase III customers went live on Jan1, 2015, and should expect their first bill at the end of May. For those customers on the monthly payment plan, any remaining balances must be paid in full by Dec 31 each year.

Career Opportunities Please visit www.kamloops.ca/careers for current job postings.

The City would like input from the community on the proposed goals, objectives and actions. Please attend the open house or complete the online survey at www.kamloops.ca/letstalk. Wednesday, March 4, 2015 7:00 – 8:30 pm Parkside Lounge, Interior Savings Centre For more information, visit www.kamloops.ca/letstalk.

Potholes Potholes are formed when water seeps into small cracks in the asphalt and freezes. The expansion of the ice in the crack causes the asphalt to crumble, and through repeated freeze thaw cycles a pot hole eventually forms. During the winter months, conventional hot mix is not available and holes must be temporarily filled using a hot recycled asphalt mix or a cold mix material. Unfortunately the repaired potholes are susceptible to the same freeze thaw cycle and at times require to be filled repeatedly until a more permanent repair can be scheduled in the spring when asphalt plants open up. During these freeze thaw cycles events, up to 2 City crews operate 24 hours a day, Monday to Friday, filling potholes. It is not uncommon in wet road conditions for crews to refill a hole several times in one day until road conditions dry. Citizens are encouraged to report potholes by phoning the Public Works Center at 250-828-3461 or by using the MyKamloops mobile app, available for download at www.kamloops.ca/mobileapp.

HAVE YOU BEEN SERVED? Being served with a legal claim can be troublesome. In addition to the stress of being sued, you only have a limited amount of time to respond to the claim. If you don’t respond in time, the party who initiated the claim might be able to obtain “default judgment” against you. This means that the party who was sued can obtain judgment without having to prove their claim before the court. This is not good for you!

SO... WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO?

City could get $700K if pipeline project proceeds ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

Should Kinder Morgan’s proposed expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline come to fruition, the city of Kamloops stands to gain up to $700,000 in community funding, under a memorandum of understanding signed with the company yesterday (Feb. 26). The agreement will take effect if the $5.4-billion expansion project is approved by the National Energy Board, which is expected to make a decision in spring of 2016. Kinder Morgan wants to triple the amount of oil it ships by pipe between Alberta and the Lower Mainland, from 300,000 to 890,000 barrels per day, by twinning much of its existing line and adding several new pump stations along the route, including one in Kamloops. Kinder Morgan president Ian Anderson said the agreements are meant to acknowledge the construction disruption the project will bring to communities on the pipeline route over several years of construction. In Kamloops, the company hopes to bypass much of Westsyde by routing its line through a fibre-optic right of way in the Lac du Bois grasslands, but must still cross through the Kamloops Airport corridor and Mission Flats Road

on either side of the Thompson River. “We’re not expecting anything in return from the city,” Anderson said. “We’ve entered into this agreement to recognize the impact of this project on the community and that’s pretty much it.” Under terms of the agreement, the city must use the money for beautification of the Tranquille Road corridor. A city committee is still drafting a final plan for the area, but upgrades would include pedestrian walkways and better signage for traffic headed to and from Fulton Field. Should the city opt not to move ahead with the Tranquille Road project — which has yet to go to city council for a final debate and approval — the money may also be used for other trails and walkways, to be decided upon solely by the city. Anderson said the company may also choose to chip in on the airport beautification project in other ways. “As the crews are working on the pipeline along the route, including in Kamloops, where there are things we can do while we’re here that require men and equipment, we’ll work with the city to do those things along the way,” he said. While Kamloops city council has voted on resolutions involving the Trans Mountain project

in the past, including support for the routing of the line through Lac du Bois last fall, it has not taken a formal position on the project and some councillors appear to have concerns about the expansion. Coun. Marg Spina, who signed the agreement on behalf of Mayor Peter Milobar, who is out of the country, said she doesn’t think a financial arrangement with Kinder Morgan will preclude council from taking a tough stance on Trans Mountain should it need to as more information about the project’s impacts on the city becomes available. “I think we would always raise significant concerns,” she said. “Our council is known for taking different views on different subjects as they come up. We all stand on different sides of the fence or on the fence sometimes. “I don’t have any difficulty supporting the project right now but, if something came up, I would raise it, absolutely.” Kamloops wasn’t the only community to sign an agreement with Kinder Morgan yesterday. The company plans to give $420,000 to Merritt, $390,000 in Clearwater, $185,000 in Valemount and a combined $845,000 to various portions of the Thompson-Nicola Regional District.

It’s crucial to respond to a claim within the timelines provided by the rules of court. However, you need to know that there are different types of claims and different levels of court. The type of claim and the level of court will determine how long you have to respond.

LOCAL NEWS WESTSYDE POOL SET TO RE-OPEN ON MARCH 9 After several weeks of being out of service, Westsyde Pool will re-open on Monday, March 9. The city closed the pool in midFebruary after some of the cedar ceiling tiles near the deep end of the pool began sagging and threatening to fall off. A temporary fix is now underway, but a city release said more work will be needed to repair an internal air leak in the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s envelope, which has been identified as the source of the problem.

Costs and scope of the work are not yet known and a review of the building is ongoing. In an earlier interview, parks, recreation and cultural services director Byron McCorkell told KTW itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s likely further work on the building will be conducted during the poolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual June shutdown. Westsydeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fitness area remains open through the pool closure and the city has given pass holders for the pool access to the Canada Games facility until work is completed.

Beginning in September, Grade 8 students at St. Annâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Academy will be required to wear uniforms. Subsequent school years will see students in grades 9 to 12 also wear uniforms, which are already required to be worn by the private schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elementary students.

More uniforms at St. Annâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s SECONDARY STUDENTS WILL JOIN ELEMENTARY PEERS DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

St. Annâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Academy will soon require its secondary-grades students to wear a uniform. However, the new policy, released to students and their families on Wednesday, Feb. 25, will be brought in gradually. From now to the start of the 2016-2017 school year, consultations will be held with students, their families and staff on what style of uniform will be chosen.

At the start of that school year, students in Grade 8 will be required to wear a uniform, with additional grades added each year until the 2020-2021 school year, which will see all students in grades 8 to 12 wearing uniforms. The decision follows an unusually lengthy two-year consultation period, parents were told in a letter sent to them by the school council. The council members felt the time was required â&#x20AC;&#x153;to make this

review process comprehensive, inclusive and informative,â&#x20AC;? the letter stated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This process enlightened council as to the issues that were most pressing for our stakeholder groups such as modesty, choice, consistent enforcement, cost, freedom of expression, school spirit, preparation for life after graduation and student safety.â&#x20AC;? Elementary-grades students are already required to wear a uniform.

City hopes for relief funding ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The City of Kamloops will spend about $2.25 million on remaining repairs from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major storm, bringing the total bill to about $3.25 million. Water and sewer engineer Jonathan Welke said the city just closed a tender encompassing all of the remaining repairs to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stormwater system following a short-

but-intense July 2014 rainstorm that flooded city streets in a matter of minutes, overwhelming the drainage system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re various different projects around town, largely streamchannel erosion projects, just basically where we had massive erosion, so we need to build it back and armour it so it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen again,â&#x20AC;? Welke said. The city had completed or already begun work on about $1 mil-

lion in storm-related repairs prior to the tender. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 2015 projects are ones that are lower in the list, but still a high priority to get done,â&#x20AC;? Welke said. City council will be asked to award a tender for the project at its March 10 meeting. Once work is completed, the city can apply to the province for some funding under its disaster financialassistance program.

Welke said the province will provide up to 80 per cent of funds for eligible repairs, but wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cover the cost of any improvements the city makes to its stormwater system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the projects weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re actually building back better, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re putting in betterments, so the province doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cover any of those costs,â&#x20AC;? he said, noting repair work will run from spring to late fall.

HEARING RESUMES AS DECISION ON KILLER LOOMS SARAH PAYNE BLACK PRESS spayne@tricitynews.com

The B.C. Review Board hearing for Allan Schoenborn, the man who killed his three children in Merritt in 2008, resumed yesterday (Feb. 26) with questions for Schoenbornâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case manager. However, a decision on whether Schoenborn will be approved for day passes was not made as of press deadline. Liane Lee testified that since Schoenbornâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s admission to Forensic Psychiatric Hospital (FPH) in Coquitlam five years ago, he has become less intense, quicker to return to baseline behaviour and accepts staff intervention. When he first arrived, she said, he was guarded, hostile and suspicious of FPH staff. In the past year, she said, he has become less irritable and there has been less â&#x20AC;&#x153;posturingâ&#x20AC;? behaviour â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when Schoenbornâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fists are clenched and his face becomes red in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;fighting stance.â&#x20AC;? Asked whether he is easily provoked, Lee said it depends on the person or what the argument is about. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have seen lots of control when people call him a child killer,â&#x20AC;? Lee said. Crown prosecutor Wendy Dawson began her cross-examination of the witness by detailing incidents involving Schoenborn since he arrived at FPH. Schoenborn has been at the hospital since 2010, when he was found not criminally responsible for the murders of his three children â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 10-year-old Kaitlynne, eight-year-old Max and five-year-old Cordon. He fled the scene and spent about two weeks hiding in the woods before he

was caught. Schoenborn has consented to remain in the hospital, but has again requested escorted day passes. His annual hearing began on Feb. 12, but was recessed with still more witnesses to be questioned. Two weeks ago, psychiatrist Dr. Marcel Hediger was questioned for much of the day about Schoenbornâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mental health status, his history of angry outbursts and the progress he has made during his treatment. Hediger stated Schoenborn suffers from delusional disorder and paranoidpersonality traits, but has been responding well to anti-psychotic and antianxiety medication, as well as angermanagement therapy. But, Dawson noted, Schoenborn has not participated in any other programs nor has he furthered his Grade 9 education. She suggested Schoenborn lives in a tightly controlled environment and remains fairly isolated, meaning there had been little opportunity to observe his behaviour in more unpredictable settings. Dawson also emphasized Schoenbornâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history of escaping custody and the risk to the public should he escape into the Tri-Citiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; forests and mountains while on a day pass, during which he would be escorted by two therapists, not security guards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you still regard Mr. Schoenborn as presenting a serious risk to causing physical or psychological harm to a member of the public despot almost five years of treatment?â&#x20AC;? Dawson asked at the initial hearing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes,â&#x20AC;? replied Hediger.

THEE A

A statement released by Darcie Clarke, Schoenbornâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ex-partner and the mother of the children he murdered, and her cousin, Stacy Galt, earlier this week laid bare the torment the family endures at the killerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual hearings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She [Darcie Clark] cannot bring herself to appear in the gallery as the very proximity to Allan sickens and frightens her,â&#x20AC;? the statement reads. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Darcie is unfinished business to him and I know, should he be given the slightest bit of freedom, he will continue his life-long reign of terror and violence.â&#x20AC;? The statement also notes Schoenborn has had more than 40 violent interactions with staff and patients in the last four years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yet two of his doctors share contradictory insights: He is getting better; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a risk to the safety of others. Passes into the community would be good for him; but he is a high risk to escape.â&#x20AC;? It also mentions several patients have escaped or did not return from their day passes and that Schoenborn wants to visit places such as Coquitlam Centre, the Hyde Creek rec centre, parks and coffee shops within a 15-minute drive of the hospital. Clark and her family are hoping Schoenborn is declared a high-risk offender. Under new federal legislation known as the Not Criminally Responsible Reform Act, that designation could mean it will be another three years before Schoenborn is eligible to apply for such passes again. Should the review board deem Schoenborn high-risk, the ruling would be reviewed by a B.C. Supreme Court judge.

THE HOT AND NOT OF THE WEEK

Kamloops This Week looks at the stories of the week — the good, the bad and all in-between: HOT: The temperature of the average board of education trustee in Kamloops, if one was to stick a thermometer in their mouth. Trustees are miffed — and rightly so. In this month’s provincial budget, the B.C. Liberals called for boards of education to find even more savings — $54 million over two years. Local trustees are dumbfounded as they point to myriad ways they have cut to the bone in recent years to save money. A reprieve of sorts may be on the horizon as Health Minister Terry Lake, while speaking at last week’s Kamloops Chamber of Commerce luncheon, noted the work of the Kamloops-Thompson board of education and suggested the call for more savings may be directed at other school boards who have not been as fiscally prudent.

OUR

VIEW

NOT: Kamloops city council for yet again rejecting call to create a bylaw to help protect pets — in particular, dogs — from being tethered all day long. It seems like a common-sense bylaw designed to educate pet owners about treating their animals humanely, but some councillors bizarrely opined such a bylaw could cost the city more money? How? Bylaws are complaint-driven. If a flood of calls arrives, the simple solution is to redirect bylaw officers from writing parking tickets downtown. There would be no need to bolster the bylaws roster. It would be a matter of addressing complaints as they come in, as is the practice now. HOT: Those students with a gift for the trades. Head to Thompson Rivers University today (Feb. 27) to check out students competing in the annual Cariboo Regional Skills Competition. These kids are good.

A white woman apologizes

spent about two hours sitting in Evelyn Voyageur’s light-filled warm kitchen, listening to stories of her childhood, her time at residential school, her family and her determination to educate herself in order to learn more about her people and culture. After exchanging formalities, I felt so privileged as I scribbled notes listening to her speak. There was a level of comfort and trust as she recalled events nothing short of horrific that she and her family faced while attending St. Michael’s Residential School in Alert Bay. I was honoured she was so willing to share with me and I left her home with a feeling I had never quite experienced so strongly before — a disdain for my white culture. From high-school history classes, television documentaries and magazine articles, I thought I had an understanding of what happened to the 150,000 First Nation, Inuit and Métis children who were removed from their homes and forced to attend the abusive, immoral institutions across the country. I had no idea. I knew of white privilege — a word tossed around by late-night, American all-newschannel pundits or in stories following the 2014 death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo. We look at our neighbours to the south and call them out

SHOT for their lack of diversification and for the constant struggles of class clashes between Caucasians and AfricanAmericans. I knew of white privilege and racism as it related to the U.S. I never knew exactly how prominent it remains in Canada. I now know we have our own version of white privilege and racism in our country — and it relates directly to the treatment of First Nations. We like to think of Canada as all-inclusive, equal, a place where we encourage diversification and multiculturalism — the very fabric of what makes us Canadians. It’s not. As I sat surrounded by Highland secondary’s aboriginal student council, I felt the same honour and privilege as I did listening to Voyageur. The students and instructors opened their doors to me and shared stories of racism

they face every single day at school. The only way I could relate to them — besides sharing stories of my awkward teenage years — was how much I enjoy pizza for lunch, too. I hung my head leaving the school and felt the same disdain as I did after talking to Evelyn. As a writer, I was at a loss for words. As a white reporter, I felt I was somehow capitalizing on inequalities of others. I attended the healing ceremony for St. Michael’s students in Alert Bay last week. As a journalist, it was one of the most difficult events I’ve had to cover. As an observer, my heart was breaking. Words are never enough for what happened and what continues to happen every single day, but it’s one of the tools I have. Nothing I write and nothing I photograph could take the pain suffered at the hands of my culture away. There is only one thing to say — I’m sorry.

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR LET’S FIX RIVERSIDE SIDEWALK

[speak up] You can comment on any story you read @ kamloopsthisweek.com

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online RE: LETTER: TAX DOLLARS TO PRIVATE SCHOOLS PUT TO GOOD USE:

Editor: I recently enjoyed a nice walk through beautiful Riverside Park, a park I have visited for more than six decades. Yes, there have been many needed changes, some of which I do not agree with, including removal of the outdoor swimming pool and chess and checker boards and the inoperable light fountain. I suppose vandalism plays a part in such decisions. However, one blaring item is the tight sidewalk at the east end, parallel to the river. Two wheelchairs cannot pass each other and, if you meet another couple walking toward you, you need to quickly move over and let them pass. I find that part of our jewel totally lost in the ‘50s. Our population has grown and the park is full in the summer — why has no one with the city noticed this sad issue? I will pony up the first $100 toward some concrete. Patrick K. Lamb Kamloops

LET’S UPDATE SIGN OF OUR CITY’S TIMES Editor: I am impressed with the budget the city sets aside each year for public art and funding the upkeep of older works and new acquisitions. I also happen to love the sign that was recently selected at the entrance to Riverside Park. It really is striking. Am I the only one who thinks the next item on the project list should be the one sign that millions of people see each year? I’m talking about the “Welcome to Kamloops” sign on the Trans-Canada Highway as you enter city limits.

I always think when I pass this sign that it seems dated and is in need of an updated look to take us into the future. As a point of reference, I have included photos of signs in Vernon and Oliver, as well as the sign for Kamloops. It’s clear which signs are modern and current. Perhaps we can have a contest for residents of Kamloops to submit artwork for a new sign? Now, that would be fantastic. Jennifer Schultz Kamloops

THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES AT CONCERT Editor: It is very difficult to express in a few words my thanks for a wonderful evening of music, fun and fundraising for the Richard Dickens Music Scholarship Fund. The Kamloops Community Band and the Kamloops Big Band members shared their talent and love of music with an audience that was truly appreciative. The community band music directors, Cliff Noakes and Don Bennett, started the journey with distinct military sounds, Disney adventures, Gershwin favourites and the musicians, young and a little older, gave it their all. It was so enjoyable. The intermission gave the audi-

ence an opportunity to bid on a variety of silent auction items, enjoy a Starbucks coffee and nibble on a fantastic array of finger foods from The Smorgasbord. The generosity of these supportive people is constant and so appreciated. Then it was time for the Kamloops Big Band. Director Ken McClelland had the sounds of the era captured with the first few notes of Glenn Miller’s Moonlight Serenade. Many of us in the audience travelled back to a romantic time of long ago and we tried to remain still and not jive in our seats to In The Mood and Take the ‘A’ Train. Nostalgic moments surrounded me as they played Moten Swing, the

music that introduced my Let’s Visit Awhile in 1964 on CFJC-TV. Even my goosebumps were dancing! The evening was still not over. The two bands joined for Sinatra in Concert. It was wonderful to hear favourite songs Old Blue Eyes introduced. My sincere thanks to Cliff, Don, Ken, the band members and support volunteers. That was one great evening. My group of friends truly enjoyed every moment and support the opportunity to help the musicalcholarship fund, honouring a great musician — the late Dick Dickens. Thanks for the memories. Lois J.

“Rational Thoughts columnist Bill Ligertwood is unhappy his tax dollars go to support schools where they teach things with which he disagrees. “Some people don’t like that we spent $124 million in six months bombing terrorists in Iraq. Personally, I really dislike my tax dollars paying for abortions, which, in almost all cases, are elective surgery (and, thus, not technically eligible for funding under the rules of the Canada Health Act). “But, guess what?

With little explanation, the RCMP is moving its Air Four chopper based in Kamloops to Prince George, leaving the city without police helicopter support. Alan Hobler, president of Kamloops Search & Rescue, said yesterday (Feb. 26) the move was rumoured for some time but confirmed by RCMP this week. The organization is disappointed by the move, which may slow rescue efforts. “Usually it [response time] is really important,” Hobler said. An RCMP spokesman based in Vancouver confirmed the transfer of the helicopter based at Fulton Field. The move is likely in early summer. In an email statement, Sgt. Rob Vermeulen said the “realignment” is being made to better deploy resources. The RCMP’s north

SEARCH AND RESCUE DISAPPOINTED CITY WON’T HAVE POLICE HELICOPTER SUPPORT, MAY SLOW RESCUES

district based in Prince George “comprises 72 per cent of B.C.’s geographic area, so this realignment is simply a matter of common sense,” he said. Prince George does not currently have a helicopter. The move will leave Kelowna with the nearest helicopter, followed by units in the Lower Mainland. The Kelowna-based unit will cover an area that stretches from west of Lillooet to the southeast corner of B.C. and north to include

Wells Gray Park. Along with Air Four’s move north will go pilots, flight officers and maintenance engineers. Helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft are used by RCMP for tasks including patrols and surveillance, searches, operational support and to quickly transport members and equipment around B.C. Hobler said the loss will be mostly keenly felt when searching for people who are lost. “You want a quick response. The longer

people are out, the less they are responsive — and people who are not responsive are difficult to find.” Loss of the aircraft will also make helicopter training more distant and expensive for volunteer search and rescue members. Vermeulen said the northbound chopper will see a corresponding move by a fixedwing aircraft from the northern city to Kamloops. But those aircraft can’t bring rescue personnel into remote sites and don’t work as well for searches, Hobler said. He estimated RCMP’s Air Three, based in Kelowna, is a 20-minute flight away. More importantly, that resource will have to be shared with other tasks and frequent maintenance, meaning the Interior will be completely without service at times.

Bail denied for accused killer

Campers, get set to reserve

TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Clearwater man charged with first-degree murder in the death of his estranged commonlaw wife last year has been denied bail during a hearing in Kamloops on Tuesday, Feb. 24. Iain Scott, 43, has been in custody since his arrest following an hours-long standoff with police on April 20, 2014. Hours earlier, Mounties found the body of Angila Wilson while performing a well-being check at her home. Scott, who had the couple’s three children, was found at a different residence. After an eighthour standoff, during which the children were released unharmed, IAIN SCOTT Scott was taken into custody. He applied for bail in B.C. Supreme Court earlier this month. Evidence heard at the bail hearing is covered by a court-ordered publication ban. Crown prosecutor Adrienne Murphy said Scott’s bail was denied on the tertiary grounds, meaning the judge felt his detention was necessary to maintain the public’s confidence in the administration of justice. Scott’s preliminary inquiry in Kamloops provincial court is slated to begin on May 25. His bail hearing was a concern to family members of Wilson and that story can be read here.

ill it be the postseason or another spring of playoff purgatory? Two games this weekend at Interior Savings Centre will likely go a long way in determining the legacy of the 2014-2015 Kamloops Blazers. “Our goal from Day 1 within our organization has been to make the playoffs,” an upbeat Don Hay, the Blazers’ head coach, told KTW. “You gain a lot of experience in a playoff series. The process you go through to make the

Victoria @ Kamloops Friday, Feb. 27 7 p.m. ISC Vancouver @ Kamloops Saturday, Feb. 28 7 p.m. ISC

playoffs is very important, too.” If Kamloops (22-333-3) can’t muster points against either the Victoria Royals tonight (Feb. 27) or the Vancouver Giants tomorrow, its postseason hopes will be on life-support. Game time both nights is 7 p.m at ISC. With the top three

teams in the B.C. Division advancing to the playoffs, third-place Vancouver (26-31-1-2) has put itself in a good spot heading down the stretch, three points ahead of the Prince George Cougars and five points clear of Kamloops. The Giants have a game in hand on

A13

both the Blazers and Cougars. Glass-half-full fans in Kamloops will point to Vancouver’s schedule, with the Giants slated to play the WHL-leading Kelowna Rockets four more times before regular season’s end. The Blue and Orange have two more dates with their rivals

from the Little Apple. Blazer backers will also mention the last three games of Kamloops’ season are against Prince George (24-33-2-2) — on March 18, March 20 and March 21. The teams also meet on March 11. Schedules won’t mean a thing if the Blazers don’t start winning. Kamloops has lost four consecutive games — 5-2 to visiting Victoria on Feb. 14, 11-4 to hometown Kelowna on Feb. 18, 4-3 to Moose Jaw at ISC on Friday and 1-0 to the Giants in Vancouver on Saturday.

See BLAZERS, page A14

A decision likely to be made this spring could lead to more than $15-million in development at the Tournament Capital Ranch in Rayleigh. “What we’re waiting for is the Agricultural Land Commission,” said Gary Gray, president of the Kamloops Exhibition Association (KXA). “The application is in front of them, that the city put there, to allow the lands currently there to be used not just for agricultural uses.” Gray said the City of Kamloops and the KXA have a tentative agreement in place. “We’re still negotiating with them, but part of the deal that we’ve reached was that we’re [the KXA] going to farm a piece of the site for the city, put it into agricultural production,” Gray said. “With it, they’ve allocated about 14 hectares of land for a new KXA facility.” The KXA has plans to erect two or three buildings on its new home site, facilities capable of holding trade, agricultural and rodeo events. They won’t come cheap, with a price tag of between $15 and $20 million, according to Gray. “Most of it we’re fundraising,” he said. “At this point, the city hasn’t really committed anything but to help us with operational costs. At this point, it will be somewhat of a private partnership with the

city, based on us providing a lot of the funding. “Part of what we’re doing hinges on the city’s plan for the site,” Gray added. “I know they’ve talked with the rugby club about jointventuring a banquettype facility.” Jeff Putnam, the city’s parks and civic facilities manager, and Byron McCorkell, the city’s director of parks, recreation and cultural services, have been negotiating with the KXA. In an email to KTW, Putnam said he could not provide details prior to the ALC’s decision. The city’s parks planning and sustainability supervisor, Michael Doll, confirmed city representatives met with ALC members on Tuesday, Feb. 24, toured the site and answered questions. “We are now waiting for them to reach a decision on our application, which we are hoping to have this spring,” Doll said. “That decision will certainly help shape future plans for the Tournament Capital Ranch.” Gray said Kamloops has been missing out on lucrative opportunities to host agricultural and rodeo events. The KXA and its former landlord, the Tk’emlups Indian Band, became embroiled in a financial dispute and, late in 2011, the band took over the Mount Paul Industrial Park land, leaving the KXA without a home.

Gray gave examples of events that could be held in the Tournament Capital, including the Interior Logging Association convention, which moved to Vernon, and the Provincial Winter Fair, now held in Barriere. “They’re telling us, ‘If you build it, we will come,’” Gray said. “We’ve had lots of interest from national events. The city’s missing out on multiple events because we don’t have the facilities to host it.” The B.C. High School Rodeo Association (BCHSRA) is lobbying for the 2016 Canadian High School Rodeo finals. “They’re in Nanton (Alta.) and their three-year term is up and it’s open for bids,” BCHSRA director Pat Kerr said. “It’s piein-the-sky at this point, but we would really like to host in July of 2016.” The BCHSRA plans to hold the provincial high school rodeo championships at the ranch in June, either with the ALC’s blessing or with a temporary permit. “The Kamloops and District

High School Rodeo club has been going to Deadman Creek for eight years because we had nowhere to go,” Kerr said. Concern has been expressed about more development at the TCR. In a letter to the city, Kamloops resident Keith Corrigan wrote: “It concerns us that there may be an underlying agenda to turn this land over for rodeo and other heavy recreational use that could change the agricultural

capacity profoundly. “Further plans for a water park and so on have other ramifications not just to the land, but the watershed . . . draining into the North Thompson River from which we source our household water.” What happens next depends on the ALC’s decision. “We’re waiting on the ALC to give the city formal approval to go ahead,” Gray said. “Once they have that, we’ll sign a multi-year lease.”

The Tournament Capital Ranch may soon be home to two or three new buildings with a price tag of $15- to $20-million in development.

“I thought we slipped last week,” Hay said. “These two home games, I don’t want to say they’re must-win games, but they’re very, very important for us.” The Royals (33-243-1) will finish second in B.C. and meet the division’s third-place finisher in Round 1 of the playoffs. Vancouver is 6-30-1 in its last 10 games and holds pole position in the race for

third but, with games this weekend against Kelowna (47-10-3-1) and Kamloops, the complexion of the division’s playoff battle can change in a heartbeat. The Cougars have two U.S. showdowns this weekend — in Seattle tonight and in Everett tomorrow. Ryan Rehill and his teammates will no doubt be rooting for the American teams and wishing the worst on the Giants when

they square off with the Rockets tonight at the Pacific Coliseum, but the Blazers will be focused more on what’s happening in the Tournament Capital. “They’re probably the two biggest games of the year for us,” Rehill said. “We’ve dug ourselves into a little bit of a hole. We need to get back to getting points and winning games if we want to get back into a playoff spot.”

Kamloops has never missed the playoffs in two consecutive seasons. Hay and his charges are looking to avoid becoming associated with that notorious footnote. “The key word would be urgency,” Hay said. “We can hope that other teams lose, but we have to make sure that we’re looking after ourselves. “We have to play with urgency.”

Months of moguls for Maika 84-YEAR-OLD TO PUT IN 85 CONSECUTIVE DAYS ON SLOPES MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Nick Maika calls himself an old fart and his latest fundraising effort is catching wind. The 84-year-old Westsyde resident is skiing 85 days in a row while accepting pledges from sponsors. All money raised will go directly to Adaptive Sports at Sun Peaks (ASSP). “I did 76 days in my 76th year and got a sweatshirt from Nancy Greene,” said Maika, who is likely wittier now than he was in 1955, when he first started skiing. “I did 80 and got nothing out of it. I thought, well, shit, I’m in pretty good shape still. I want to go 85 but, instead of for my own ego, I’ll get something useful out of it.” The benefactor, ASSP, provides opportunities for people with a wide range of disabilities to participate in adaptive snow sports and recreation programs at Sun Peaks Resort. Maika doesn’t see a dime — which is most definitely a good thing. “Otherwise, I’d have a basement full of beer,” said Maika, who was born on Aug. 4, 1930. “I did a sawmill apprenticeship in

Montreal. I met a pal and we decided to come out to B.C. in 1951 and make a million — and we did. But, we spent a million-and-a-half.” Pat McKimmon is the president of ASSP. “Everybody who rides up the chair with Nick, goodness help them, because it usually ends with a donation,” McKimmon said. “He’s just charming. “He’s a real one-man ambassador. He believes in it and he’s really going to bat for us.” Maika’s last day of skiing is March 27. For information on donating, email adaptivesportsatsunpeaks@ gmail.com. KTW stated the obvious — you’re no spring chicken, Nicky — and asked Maika if health is a concern. “I told my doctor my plans,” he replied. “He laughed like hell and said I should make an appointment with a psychiatrist.” The doc gave Maika a clean bill of health, approved of his fundraising endeavour and kickstarted the campaign. “Going out the door, he tapped me on the shoulder and said, ‘If you’re serious about this, I’ll sponsor you,’” Maika said. Since then, Maika has told anyone in earshot about what he’s

up to — driving in the morning to Sun Peaks from Westsyde, skiing at least seven runs a day for 85 consecutive days and raising cash to support skiers with disabilities. There are about 100 members in the Sun Peaks Antiques Club, Maika is one, and they have been supportive of the cause. “They’re telling me, ‘Don’t get hurt,’ and a lot of them have already pledged a buck for every day I ski,” Maika said. After moving to B.C., the sawmill business brought him, his then-wife and his six children — the eldest now 56 — across the province, making stops on Vancouver Island, in

Squamish, Penticton, Salmon Arm and Merritt before touching down in Kamloops. If Maika had chosen another path to make his million, perhaps a career in marketing or sales would have been ideal because, to date, he and his donors have raised about $3,500 for ASSP. “I must have the gift of the gab or something — or I’m good looking,” Maika quipped. “It’s paying off.” Maika said there will be a “doo” at Sun Peaks to mark the end of his 85-day journey and, after that, it’s anyone’s guess what he’ll get up to next. “It depends what’s around the next mogul,”

he said. “I’ve lived a full life.”

‘Fast Eddy’ takes off Sunday KAMLOOPS MAN HOPES TO COMPLETE RUN FROM VICTORIA TO NEWFOUNDLAND AND BACK IN A YEAR TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops runner is set to depart Victoria this weekend for a coast-to-coast run to Newfoundland — and back. Edward “Fast Eddy” Dostaler plans to complete the 21,585kilometre journey by Feb. 17, 2016. “I know I’m going to,” he told KTW.

“I’ve spent too much time preparing for this. I’m completing this. “It may take a little longer than I planned, but you won’t see me come home unless I complete it.” Fast Eddy’s budget for the run is $30,000, but he was only able to raise $18,000.

“So, that $12,000 is food,” he said. “Hopefully, people will donate food along the way. I’m just hoping Canadians will be Canadians and help me along the way.” Fast Eddy is also hoping he doesn’t die. “My biggest fear is someone’s going to text and drive and hit me,” he said. “Someone’s going to hit me with a car

and it’s just going to be brutal.” That’s a real concern because Fast Eddy’s journey is a solo one — no vehicles and no teammates. Fast Eddy is raising money for Alzheimer and cancer research. For more information on how you can donate, go online to facebook.com/fasteddydostaler.

WolfPack rake in awards The Thompson Rivers University WolfPack collected eight awards this week as Canada West and Canadian Interuniversity Sport announced year-end honours. Brad Gunter of the WolfPack men’s volleyball team was given a first-team all-Canadian nod, despite missing most of the first half of the season due to injury. The fourth-year right-side hitter led the Canada West and CIS in kills per set (4.57). His 5.3 points per set was tops in Canada. On the women’s side, Iuliia Pakhomenko became the first women’s volleyball player from TRU to be named an all-Canadian. The native of Donetsk, Ukraine, finished her first season in Canada ranked second in the conference in kills (405), kills per set (4.60) and service aces per set (0.47). But, it was on the basketball court that the Pack really cleaned up. In women’s hoops,

TRU collected three player awards, while head coach Scott Reeves was named coach of the year. Fifth-year Jorri Duxbury was a secondteam all-star and veteran Taiysa Worsfold was a third-team all-star. Rookie Michelle Bos, who ranked third in the Canada West conference with an average of 11.3 rebounds per game, was named an all-rookie. In men’s basketball, Josh Wolfram captured first-team honours. He finished the season ranked second in points per 40 minutes (25.4), third in threepoint percentage (45.8) and fourth in rebounds per game (9.9). Rookie Josh Mayorga was named to the rookie all-star team. Also honoured was Kamloops native Mieke DuMont, who was

named to the county’s all-rookie team. The first-year outside hitter played volleyball for the Dalhousie Tigers of Nova Scotia this season.

Pack swims in Edmonton

Two members of the TRU WolfPack swimming team were in Edmonton on the weekend, competing in the 2015 Western Canadian Swimming Championships. Sarah McChesney placed 42nd in the 50-metre freestyle, 28th in the 100m freestyle, 31st in the 200m freestyle and 34th in both the 400m and 800m freestyles. Jagdeesh Uppal placed 23rd in the 200m breaststroke, 27th in the 50m breaststroke, 28th in the 100m breaststroke and 36th in the 50m freestyle.

At approximately 10 pm on Tuesday, February 24, the RCMP received a complaint of a theft in progress at Big O Tire on Notre Dame Drive. Suspects were seen behind the business and someone was loading tires into a vehicle. The vehicle is described as a Honda Accord, which drove off prior to the police arrival. The suspects did not get into the business but did take a number of used tires. At this time of day there is still at lot of traffic in the area, someone may have seen this vehicle leaving the area or even the suspects behind the building. There is no doubt that this is not the first time this vehicle has been involved in thefts. The tire shops should make sure your tires are secure; if the tires are for disposal, clear them up right away. You do not want these suspects looking around your property. If you have any information on this theft, please contact Crime Stoppers. You will not have to go to court or give a statement, just your information will be used.

THIEVES TARGET A CAMPER These thieves had a plan to take a camper that fits into a truck box, and drove off undetected. Sometime between Saturday, February 21 and Monday, February 23, a suspect broke through a compound gate on the 700 block of Kingston Avenue, loaded up the camper and drove off. The camper is described as a 1999 Slumber Queen Adventure, 8 foot in length, light tan in colour. These

suspects knew what they wanted as nothing else was touched or taken, and there is no doubt these thieves had been in the area looking around, trying to figure out the fastest and the easy way to take the camper.

Blue Jays lose Saunders until all-star break NEIL DAVIDSON

THE CANADIAN PRESS

DUNEDIN, Fla. — A freak accident has cost the Blue Jays the services of outfielder Michael Saunders, likely until the all-star break. Toronto GM Alex Anthopoulos said the 28-year-old Canadian was shagging balls Wednesday morning (Feb. 25) at the club’s training complex when he stepped on a sprinkler-head indentation. “My foot got jammed,” said Saunders, who spoke to the media yesterday morning on crutches. “To be honest, I don’t know exactly how it happened. It stopped me in my tracks and I heard a pop. It was almost like I was scared to find out [what happened].” Saunders walked off the field and saw the trainer. Anthopoulos said

the six-foot-four, 225pound Saunders will get a second opinion, but likely requires surgery to repair a torn meniscus. Saunders, a sixyear veteran who joined Toronto in a December trade that sent pitcher J.A. Happ to Seattle, is expected to be back playing in July, although he said he wants to be back earlier. The Jays had planned an outfield of Saunders in left, Canadian Dalton Pompey or Kevin Pillar in centre and Jose Bautista in right. Saunders’ left-handed bat will be missed at the plate. He hit .273 with eight home runs and 34 RBIs over 78 games in 2014. For the Victoria native, it’s a bitter pill to swallow. He reported early to camp to get a headstart. “Last night was really tough for me,

especially when we got the prognosis,” Saunders said. “I’ve got a good support system out here, though. “I’ve described this to a lot of people, that nobody’s more excited to be here than me. For me, I think the biggest thing I will have to overcome now is mentally, rather than physically. I know I’m going to be in good hands, I know I’m going to be OK. “It could be worse, it’s not an ACL (anterior cruciate ligament).” Saunders said the pitch was a little wet at the time. “It was a tiny bit slippery, I just think I stepped in the wrong spot.” Anthopoulos said the club had not had any similar problems before with its training complex but will look at the sprinkler head issue. The recessed sprinkler heads move up

and down and are hard to see, he said. “Just one of those things,” Anthopoulos said. “Bad luck, tough loss, but we’ll get through it. “He will be back and we can still have him for quite a bit of time.” The GM said he had already started making calls about possible replacements, but said any move would likely come at the end of the spring and would have to be tempered by what happens when Saunders returns. “Ideally for us, the guys that are in that clubhouse are going to take the opportunity. We’d prefer not to go outside,” Anthopoulos said. Added manager John Gibbons: “We like the guys we have in camp. There are some guys that need some opportunities. We brought them here for a reason. And we’ve got, of course,

the internal guys like Pompey and Pillar and those guys. Now’s their chance to shine.” Outfielder Ezequiel Carrera, a free agent signed from Detroit, is also an option. Saunders had shoulder surgery in 2007, while a 19-year-old in the minor leagues, but has not had knee problems before. He has been frustrated by shoulder and oblique injuries in recent years. “I will [be)]z working my ass off to make sure that I’m ready to go as soon as possible,” he said.

New Toronto Blue Jay Michael Saunders, seen here as a member of the Seattle Mariners, will miss significant time this season after tearing his meniscus in a freak spring training accident. KEITH ALLISON

ò Obituaries & In Memoriams ô CAROLINE RUTH LANGFORD An Honourable Life

June 7, 1925 - February 16, 2015 With great sorrow, we announce the passing of Caroline Ruth Langford, a deeply loved mother and grandmother, and an independent woman of great integrity. Born and raised in San Francisco, California, and a graduate of Stanford University, Caroline immigrated with her family to Canada in 1953, settling in White Rock, BC and eventually to Kamloops in 1992. Caroline is remembered for her tremendous dedication and passion to everything she undertook: as a life-long teacher, she championed public education. Obtaining a Master’s Degree of Education from the University of British Columbia, Caroline taught elementary school, held faculty positions at Simon Fraser University and UBC, and in the 1980’s was a general editor of the Explorations Series: A Social Studies Program for Elementary Schools for BC’s Ministry of Education. In the 1990s, she established Battle Street Books. As an avid reader, Caroline was engaged all her life with philosophical, moral and political issues. Her civic involvement included: provincial and federal NDP candidate, BC Ferry Corporation Board, Thompson Health Region Board, City of Kamloops, and Royal Inland Hospital – Ethics Committee. Her love of literacy led her to join Laubach Literacy and to participate in the development of the Community Literacy Plan for Kamloops. In her 80s, she volunteered with the city’s Restorative Justice Program. Caroline spent summers at her second home at Shuswap Lake, enjoying many swims, the sunshine, nature walks and afternoon champagne. The lake house provided a wonderful setting for family gatherings and great fun. From weights to stretch class, and yoga to line - dancing or Zumba, Caroline’s daily visits to the YMCA provided her much enjoyment and physical well-being. Caroline’s devotion to the game of bridge developed later in life, and she became an active and respected member of Kamloops’s bridge community. Above all, Caroline was her family’s most ardent advocate. In return, children and grandchildren relied on her wisdom and advice that always came from a place of integrity and careful contemplation. She was predeceased by her beloved husband Ernest in 2006. She will be remembered every day by her children, Peter (Susan), Jared (Sonia), Rachel (Janette), Stephanie, Mark, and Francesca (Surinder), her grandchildren, Kate, Cassia, Michael, Sara, Adela, Adam (Carman), Oscar, Cecilia, Hannah, Anna, and Rosemary and a great-grandchild, Jack. A private viewing for the family was held.

The loss of this indomitable woman leaves a profound void in our family and in our hearts. Schoening Funeral Service 250-374-1454

JAMES HARLEY DESPOT 1942 - 2015

To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.

It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that we announce the passing of Jim Despot, a man who spent his life working tirelessly on behalf of children as a teacher, Vice-Principal, Principal and District Superintendent. James was the very anchor and heartbeat of our family, and words cannot describe the impact he made in our lives as a treasured husband, cherished father, loving grandpa, beloved brother, favorite uncle and dear friend. James’ positive outlook, zest for life and love of family will forever frame our memories. James demonstrated unconditional love and never stood in judgement when we erred. In moments of need, it was to James that everyone turned. James’ favourite times were spent on the shores of the Shuswap - fishing, taking his grandchildren tubing, and completing endless home improvement projects. This very special man will live forever in our hearts. A celebration of life service is to be held on Sunday, March 1, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. at the Calvary Community Church, 1205 Rogers Way, Kamloops, BC. If family and friends so desire, donations may be made to “Doctors Without Borders” or the BC Heart and Stroke Foundation, in memory of James.

Panthers acquire Jagr in deal with Devils TIM REYNOLDS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SUNRISE, Fla. — The Florida Panthers acquired Jaromir Jagr from the New Jersey Devils yesterday (Feb. 26) for a secondround pick in June and either Florida or Minnesota’s thirdround pick in 2016. Jagr had 11 goals and 18 assists in 57 games this season for New Jersey. His playing time has been cut recently and he

has gone eight games without a point. Jagr is sixth in NHL history with 716 goals, seventh with 1,068 assists and fifth with 1,784 points in 1,530 career regularseason games in 22 years with Pittsburgh, Washington, the New York Rangers, Philadelphia, Dallas, Boston and New Jersey. The Czech star also has 78 goals and 121 assists in 202 playoff games. He helped

Pittsburgh win Stanley Cup titles in his first two seasons in the NHL in 1990-1991 and 1991-1992. Florida was still working out the details yesterday as to when Jagr would make his debut for the team. The Panthers were home against Chicago last night. They entered the game two points out of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Jagr, who turned

He was part of his native Czech Republic winning gold medals at the 1998 Olympics and the world championships in 2005 and 2010. Jagr owns or shares no fewer than 18 NHL records, including his 127 game-winning goals.

JAMES SAYS COLLEGE PROGRAMS ALREADY PURSUING LEBRON JR. TOM WITHERS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

As an Ohio teenage hoops sensation, LeBron James went through the craziness of being recruited by colleges across the country. Now, he’s living it as a

dad. And he’s not enjoying it. James said there are already colleges pursuing his 10-year-old son, LeBron Jr., and the Cavaliers superstar believes there should be rules against schools tracking young children. Earlier this week, James

told a Detroit radio station that his namesake has received scholarship offers from some unnamed schools. “It’s pretty crazy,” James said. “It should be a violation. You shouldn’t be recruiting 10-year-old kids.” While it may be under-

Dad was a loving father and husband, a very genuine, hard-working and generous man. He always looked for the good in other people, always ready with a helping hand and a terrific sense of humour. He was born in Clarkston, Washington, but moved to North Kamloops as a toddler and remained in the Kamloops area for the rest of his life, with the exception of the Second World War, where he served in the Royal Canadian Navy from 1940 – 1945. He worked for the Canadian Pacific Railway from before the war until his retirement, a total of 45 years of service. He was also chosen to be the Engineer on the famous Royal Hudson as it travelled throughout the Western Provinces, a memorable achievement for his career. He was very good with his hands and built the house that still stands at 1046 Columbia Street, where he raised his family. He always enjoyed camping with his family and friends at the Shuswap Lake and after his retirement, moved to Sorrento, where he lived for many years. He was also an amazing golfer, a scratch-handicapper and he was a PGA Marshall while enjoying his winters as a snowbird down south. A special thank you to Doris Ringer, Darcy and Ken Ewers, Darlene and Don Lutz and the Berwick Staff for the care and love provided to Dad over the last many months. Dad was a terrific guy and will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure to know him. To honour him, his family will be having a Celebration of His Life on Saturday, March 7, 2015 from 1 pm to 3 pm at Desert Gardens, 540 Seymour Street, Kamloops, BC.

FAITH

The Cross: God’s most excellent sacrifice

he season of Lent is here once again, reminding the faithful of the sacrifice of Jesus to bring salvation to mankind by his suffering and ultimate death. In God’s providential will and prophetic purpose, Jesus Christ became the “most excellent sacrifice” for the sins of the whole world (Hebrews 10). Countless messages about the Cross will be preached and studied during this special 40-day season. Paul wrote to the Corinthian Christians: “For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ and him crucified” (1 Cor. 2:2). It is an honour and an urgent necessity, in these days of diluting the biblical message, that the Church remains steadfast in upholding the crux of the New Testament gos-

NARYAN MITRA

You Gotta Have

FAITH

pel message, namely, Christ paved the way to reconciliation of sinners with a holy God only through the ignominious means of the Cross. Jesus Christ, crucified, is the only hope of man. His sacrifice is far superior to any other sacrifice. Not only is he a better priest who secures and delivers a better covenant, he also became that great and final sacrifice that accomplishes for all of eternity what any other

human methods could ever accomplish. Let the church of Jesus Christ make much ado about Christ’s sacrifice on the cross and gloat in it by way of sincere challenges to the faithful to be circumspect in following their Lord’s example. Sadly, our messages these days miss out the cross or bypass it in its entirely as the following lesson would confirm. Many years ago, there stood a chapel in England over whose arch were written the words, “We preach Christ crucified.” For years, godly ministers preached there, presenting a crucified Saviour as the only means of salvation. But, as their generations passed away, there arose a new generation who considered the cross and its message too antiquated. So, they began to

preach salvation by Christ’s example, rather than by his blood. They didn’t see the necessity of his sacrifice. Meanwhile, ivy had crept up by the side of the arch and had covered the word “crucified.” The arch, then, read: “We preach Christ.” And preach Christ they did, but not as having been crucified. After some more time, the congregation began to ask why the sermon had to be confined to Christ and the Bible. So, the preachers began to give discourses on social issues, politics, philosophy and moral issues. The ivy continued to grow, wiping out the third word, rendering the phrase, “We preach” alone. The cross of Christ quite frankly separates Christianity from every other religion in the

universe. Every other tradition is man-centred and work-oriented. Only the Christian faith makes us totally dependent on God. God chose us. It is He who saves us. Every other faith has to do with man trying to work his way to heaven. It is sad to see that they are literally chasing the shadows without substance in them. Think of most of our neighbours who spend life going through the trinkets and religious works, believing these would bring them access to God. Christ alone provides complete forgiveness of sins just because he is the real and final sacrifice — the most excellent sacrifice that God demands. Christ’s sacrifice on the cross of Calvary was effective and acceptable to God because

that was God’s will all along anyway. This plan was in the mind of God before the world was even created. Still today, at Lent, a lot of people would think, “O poor Jesus, he came to earth, things didn’t work out, he got killed!” That’s an entirely misconception of the theology of the cross. Jesus came to earth, knowing exactly what was supposed to happen to him. He even talked about it before he arrived on earth! When Jesus died on the cross and when we put our faith in him, we become truly sanctified or “set apart.” This Lent season and beyond, let us set ourselves apart from sin positionally in our standing before God and practically in our daily lives, and live up to God’s high calling for our lives. mitraryan225@ yahoo.ca

Jesus “Christ,

sacrificed, is the only hope of man. His sacrifice is far superior to any other sacrfice.

Quebecers may be radicalized, report says THE CANADIAN PRESS

A published report that six young Quebecers left the country in January and may have joined jihadist groups in the Middle East has prompted a reminder from public safety officials. Public security ministers in Quebec and Ottawa are urging families to contact authorities if they suspect their relatives have been radicalized. Quebec Public Security Minister Lise Theriault told reporters in Quebec City sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not surprised by the report in Montreal La Presse yesterday (Feb. 26), making a link between it and terror attacks on Parliament Hill and in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu last year. Theriault said the only response to suspected radicalization is to contact police. In Ottawa, Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney said the report highlights the need for the need for the Conservativeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s controversial anti-terror legislation to be passed. Blaney said the bill would provide police more tools to stop radicalization and help tackle the issue of high-risk travellers. Montreal La Presse reported yesterday that six people â&#x20AC;&#x201D; four men and two women â&#x20AC;&#x201D; flew to Turkey in mid-January, and that authorities lost track of them at that point. The country is considered a gateway into Syria where jihadist groups are involved in a civil war. The La Presse report said four are from Montreal and two are from nearby Laval, Que., and all are between 18 and 20 years of age.

Payphones still needed: CRTC THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A hard-wired, coin-operated outdoor telephone might seem archaic in a world of smartphones, text messaging and Skype, but Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s telecom regulator says payphones still fill a need. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission is proposing to tighten the rules companies must follow when they decide to cut the cord on the last public phone in a community. The commission is proposing that companies be obligated to notify communities affected, including municipalities and First Nations, before removing the last public phone. They would also have to notify communities before removing a phone where wireless service is not available. People living in rural and urban communities would also be allowed to express their opinions to local authorities regarding the removal of certain

They arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as common as they used to be, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect payphones to become a thing of the past just yet. CRTC chairman Jean-Pierre Blais said the phones still serve a purpose and are used by vulnerable people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have mobile phones.

Canadian payphones. Payphone use has plummeted in recent years. A survey done for the commission found that only 32 per cent of Canadians used a payphone even once in the last year, compared to 50 per cent who reported occasional use in 2004. Some payphones are especially lonely. Phone companies told the CRTC

that 636 of their payphones werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t used even once in the last 13 months and that about 10,000 phones were taking in less than 50 cents a day. But there is still a need for public phones, CRTC Chairman Jean-Pierre Blais said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly true that the reduction of payphone use is considerable, but I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t jump to the con-

clusion that everybody is not using it . . . because there are people, more vulnerable Canadians, that still see value in it,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Blais said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking here about Canadians that are more vulnerable, lowincome Canadians, the homeless, maybe perhaps victims of abuse that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the financial means to even have landlines or wireless phones that need

to contact the government for social and medical services.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; For these people, payphones offer affordability, access and privacy. Although payphones offer free 911 calls, Blais said most emergency calls these days come from mobile phones. The CRTC report said the number of payphones is expected to be down to 55,000 or so by next year, compared with about 118,000 in 2008. Call volume is forecast to slip to 33.5 million next year from 198 million in 2008. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re expecting the call volume on payphones to be going down by 24 per cent over the next few years and phones to be removed at a rate of about 15 per cent per year in the coming years,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Blais said. Still, the regulator wants to make sure that people have a say when they are about to lose their last payphone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a fundamental change driven by technology and we get it,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Blais said.

Alberta sells three of four government planes BILL GRAVELAND

THE CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Alberta Premier Jim Prentice says his government has sold three of the four planes that were part of the controversial provincial fleet. The first decision of Prenticeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new cabinet was to sell the four-plane fleet that had become a public relations millstone around the neck of the Progressive Conservative government. The planes had become symbols of waste, excess and entitlement that brought down former PC premier Alison Redford

ver the years, Keishia Treber has shown all kinds of work at the Kamloops Arts Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Art Exposed show. One year, it was abstracts, another year, figures. For her third outing, the Revelstokeborn painter chose one of her favourite subjects, the mountainous landscape of her hometown. Treberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work joins that of more than 115 other artists, young and old, who have contributed more than 200 works to this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s show, opening tonight (Feb. 27) at the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre. Her two paintings feature both a vast forest and some typical mountain-town wildlife. The latter, Lace Owl, is also part of a series of works Treber is painting on wood rather than traditional canvas. Paintings in the series include both landscape elements in acrylic and floral backgrounds reminiscent of old lace, which also make use of the woodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural elements. By combining the two styles, Treber said

X Fest back with Robin Hood, Shakespeare Show

roject X Theatre celebrates its 10th anniversary this year with a romp through Sherwood Forest and a primer on who playwright William Shakespeare really was. The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood by Canadian playwright Jeff Pitcher sees Hood and his friends still robbing from the rich to give to the poor, fighting against the sheriff of Nottingham and his buddy, Sir Guy of Gisborne. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about the pursuit of justice â&#x20AC;&#x201D; along with plenty of laughs, some archery and sword fights. Heather Cant will direct it. The Shakespeare

NicolĂ˛ Eugelmi, Viola Dvorak My Homeland, Op. 62 Walton Viola Concerto Brahms Symphony #4, Op. 98 Show by Ryan Gladstone, artistic director of Monster Theatre, addresses the question of who actually wrote the plays attributed to Shakespeare. It focuses on one likely candidate, Edward de Vere, the

17th earl of Oxford. As director Melissa Thomas takes her audience along on the journey, some familiar Shakespearean characters join the fun, including the ghost of Christopher Marlowe, three witches from MacBeth and

Queen Elizabeth. The outdoor theatre festival will run from July 13 to Aug. 1 at Prince Charles Park. Tickets go on sale on May 1 at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kjamloopslive.ca.

COMMUNITY City of Kamloops

Pothole Notice Potholes are formed when water seeps into small cracks in the asphalt and freezes. The expansion of the ice in the crack causes the asphalt to crumble, and through repeated freeze thaw cycles a pot hole eventually forms. While Kamloops can generally boast about having a fairly mild winter climate, the constant variation of temperature above and below freezing results in the creation of potholes every winter and most predominantly in early spring. During the winter months, conventional hot mix is not available and holes must be temporarily filled using a hot recycled asphalt mix or a cold mix material. Unfortunately the repaired potholes are susceptible to the same freeze thaw cycle and at times require to be filled repeatedly until a more permanent repair can be scheduled in the spring when asphalt plants open up. During these freeze thaw cycles events up to two City crews operate 24 hours a day, Monday to Friday, patrolling and filling potholes they find. It is not uncommon, in wet road conditions, for crews to refill a hole several times in one day until road conditions dry. The City is always looking for better ways to alleviate the problem of pot holes that appear every spring. However, until a better system is found, motorists must be vigilant for the ever present pothole menace. We encourage citizens to report potholes by phoning the Public Works Centre at 250-828-3461 or by using the MyKamloops mobile app, available for download at www.kamloops.ca/mobileapp.

Q: What is the longest road in the River City, excluding highways? A: City of Kamloops streets and environmental-services manager Glen Farrow said Westsyde Road is the longest road in the city, at 18.6 kilometres.

FINANCIAL MATTERS Saving And Managing Money

CENTS AND SENSIBILITY A loonie here, a few toonies there, and before you know it, your savings start to dry up as you stretch to meet monthly expenses. Ever asked yourself at the end of the month, “Where did all the money go?” If yes, consider these five sensible strategies to help you stop overspending and direct more cash into your savings.

1. SAY THE B WORD Budget. It’s a word many people loathe. But establishing a household budget – and tracking where your dollars go – can help you see where to make adjustments so you can spend less and save more.

2. I NEED THAT! You need groceries for dinner. Do you need the $45 bottle of Pinot your friend Sally raved about today? You need a car. Do you need the shiny showroom version or will the cheaper two-yearold model serve the purpose? Recognize the difference between needs and wants. It’s key to making sure you don’t spend beyond your means. The next time you’re about to buy something you know is off budget, ask yourself: • Do I really need that? • Can I survive without it? • Is there a less expensive alternative?

3. STEP AWAY, PLEASE You stop by the mall on your way home to get a key cut. You walk out with a “fantastic buy” on a new bigger TV, plus several hundred dollars more on your credit card. Impulse shopping can be a budget crusher. Before you hand over your money, step away for 24 hours. Be honest with yourself and consider whether or not you can afford it. More often than not, a clearer head will prevail. And avoid shopping when you’ve had a bad day. Retail therapy’s glow fades quickly. TIP: For one week give yourself a cash allowance and leave your debit and credit cards at home. If you survive, try for another week, and another…

4. STOP THE MONTHLY MADNESS You may have the crème-de-la-crème of satellite, cable, phone and/or cell phone plans, magazines that look great on the coffee table, and an elite gym membership. But do you actually have the time to take advantage of everything you’re paying for on a monthly basis? If you don’t use it, lose it and get online or on the phone today to: • Explore cheaper streaming options • instead of satellite or cable TV • Look for “all-in” ﬁxed-rate cell phone and internet plans • Negotiate with your current phone, internet and cable providers for better rates – it costs nothing to talk, but the conversation can save you a bundle TIP: Consider consolidating your phone, internet and television services with one provider for a potential monthly discount.

5. BITE BACK The daily bagel, coffee(s) and lunch, and the twice-a-week “I’mtoo-tired-to-cook” dinner outings are simply the cost of earning a paycheque, right? Food takes a big bite out of budgets, and biting back can save you a lot of money. For example, eliminate just one $2 coffee each day for five days and save $10. That’s $40-plus a month

and $520 a year. You do the math on the daily $3 bagels, $10 lunches and 20-plus take-out or dine-in dinners.

ARE YOU READY TO TAKE BACK YOUR PAYCHEQUE AND STOP OVERSPENDING?

UNDERCOVER AT THE SPY MUSEUM CHRIS MCBEATH

e were given two minutes to accept our mission before the room darkened and shielded us from the evidence. Just two minutes to assume our legend — our cover — which was to be our only protection over the next three hours as we lied, sidestepped and tried to stay alive in the cold, unforgiving world of espionage. It’s a world few of us ever realize up close but, at Washington, D.C.’s International Spy Museum, it’s one as captivating as it is imaginative, from the moment you step out of the briefing room — assuming, of course, you’ve accepted your mission. Put together by a team of spy experts, the museum not only explores the history, practice and craftsmanship of espionage, it is an open invitation to become a legend in your own lifetime. If only for an afternoon, it lets you join the ranks of celebrated spies such as John Ford, Sterling Hayden, Marlene Dietrich, Josephine Baker and, yes, even culinary queen Julia Child. An orientation video whets your appe-

Thus primed, you enter a room called Covers and Legends, where you choose a cover identity and are given two minutes to memorize specific details, including your occupation, the reason for your travel and your birthday. From there, you move through a checkpoint into a room filled with interactive games that test your ability to maintain your new self. In other words, it is a real spy game — and you’re it. But, a spy without gadgets would surely be no match for 007. As you move through a series of rooms, you’ll discover the world’s largest permanent collection of international spy-related artifacts, as well as those of the wannabe variety. Check out James Bond’s silver Aston Martin DB5, complete with all of the bells and whistles, as well as real-life tools-of-thetrade, such as the “ultimate kiss of death”: a lipstick pistol from the 1960s developed by the

KGB as a 4.5mm single shot weapon; hollow coins and shaving cans used to conceal items; a shoe with heel transmitter to monitor secret conversations; a typewriter to emit signals of documents as they were typed; and the proverbial trench coat with a camera built into one of the buttons. The museum quickly seduces you into its world of shadows. Before long, you find yourself learning about espionage tactics used by ancient cultures and bygone eras — after all, snooping around other people’s business is a time-honoured tradition. There is a replica of the ancient Rosetta Stone, which the Egyptians used as a cipher device against invaders; a history of the Japanese spy-assassins, the Ninjas; and a revealing account of Sun Tsu, the ancient Chinese military strategist and author of The Art of War, the world’s first do-it-yourself war manual, written some 2,000 years ago. Sun Tzu was an active proponent of spying and his tactics were later formal-

ized by Sir Francis Walsingham when he created a network of secret servants, intrigues and innovative codes that helped keep Queen Elizabeth I on the throne for 45 years.

Most visitors associate the heyday of spying with the Cold War, an era which the museum has highlighted with propaganda, training films and a convincing replica of the Berlin Wall Tunnel.

Many East Germans used this underground railroad to escape to the West — the tunnel even contains a washer and dryer so people who were digging the tunnel could come out clean so as not to

arouse suspicion. At the time, Berlin swarmed with the most spies in the world — more than 8,000 of them — so, unsurprisingly, the East Germans knew about the tunnel from its inception, yet allowed it to continue so as to maintain the cover of some highplaced agents. Step into the obligatory gift store and spy stuff takes on a lighter dimension, offering items such as pens with invisible ink, fingerprint powder and logo-embossed T-shirts. Still, you leave the museum wondering. Today, Washington, D.C. has the highest concentration of spies of any city in the world and, since the spy credo is to trust no one, nothing is as it seems, you have to wonder whether your cabbie is, in fact, living a legend. For more information about the International Spy Museum, go online to spymuseum.org.
