or more than 20 years, Marlene and Kevin Carlberg and their friend, Ken Jakes, have made regular treks to Deep Lake on the Lac du Bois grasslands, entering from a trailhead on

Ida Lane. Until recently, they and many others who use the popular Westsyde trail would drive through the Rockcliffe strata and park along the side of the road or on a paved pullout close to the “black gate,” an archway indicating the start of the path through the grasslands. Then the no-parking signs went up and daytrippers who ignored the posted warnings began finding notices on their vehicles, informing them they could be towed by the strata if they returned to the private road. Those who drive to the trail are now expected to leave their cars on a cul-de-sac just before the strata’s private road, follow a small piece of citymaintained trail and walk the rest of the way to the trailhead on the shoulder of the strata road — and the change has plenty of Deep Lake fans ticked off, with a Facebook page being created to oppose the impediment. “We’ve got one of the greatest trails in B.C. right here and we’ve got people blocking trail access,” Jakes told KTW as the trio hiked up the shoulder of the road on a recent Monday afternoon. While many of the trail’s regular users say it wasn’t uncommon to see 20 or more cars along the strata road on a busy weekend, it only takes five or six cars to fill the new parking area below. Doug Smith, past-president of the Kamloops Hiking Club, is worried the lack of space will put people off the trail or create new problems from homeowners living just below the strata. “Weekends, when people want to access the park, you get mountain bikers and dog walkers and hikers and all the parking is gone,” he said. “Ida Lane is well named. It’s very narrow and there’s not a lot of parking even for residents, let

alone all the nature people that like to go up there . . . There must be some kind of compromise because there’s a lot of space up there.” The Calrbergs are confused by the strata’s move, which came a number of years after the paved road first went in at Rockcliffe. “It’s not like we’re parking in front of someone’s home,” Marlene said. Wendy Lee, a member of the Rockcliffe strata council, would disagree. She said Rockcliffe homeowners are concerned the additional trail-related traffic will wear out the strata’s road too quickly, leaving those in the strata with an expensive repair bill. “We’re paying to maintain this road. If it was city-maintained, then park where you want to park,” she said. “Right now, it’s private property, so anyone that’s parking along there, it’s like parking in my driveway.” Lee said the strata isn’t cutting off access to the trail, but keeping to the original spirit of an agreement made with the city when Rockcliffe was rezoned in 2003. At that time, the strata agreed to continue to allow the public to get to the trailhead, but city planning and development manager Randy

The secondary access to Deep Lake has left many hikers lost in the hills above Westsyde.

Lambright said the original agreement only covered pedestrian access alongside the strata’s road. “You’re allowed to drive on that road to go visit someone. But, if you’re driving on the road to access the park up above and ultimately park on there, they would be totally within their rights to manage that,” Lambright said. John Brandon of Columbia Property Management, which manages the strata, said he understands the public may have gotten used to parking on Rockcliffe’s road — and a paved pullout across from the trailhead may have created an expectation that public parking would be provided — but he thinks the issue is one of re-education. “You don’t park in someone else’s strata,” he said. “I look after lots and lots of stratas in town and no one would ever think of going into someone’s strata and parking in visitor parking and taking off for the day.” He suggested the city improve parking below the strata by putting in angled parking spaces, which could squeeze more cars into the cul de sac. Kamloops parks planner Michael Doll said the city is looking at solutions of its own, such as a small parking lot on the small piece of land it owns below Rockcliffe. Doll said the lot could hold four or five cars, but the city needs to determine costs of such a project. “There’s quite a bit of earth works that would have to happen,” he said. “As soon as you get off the cul-de-sac, it climbs pretty quickly.” Staff will take a closer look at the area later this year, though the earliest the project would be budgeted for is 2016. In the meantime, city staff are going to clear vegetation from the small piece of city trail leading to Ida Lane to make the way clearer for the public. It’s about the only action the city can take to improve the situation, Doll said. “It’s privately owned land. so our hands are tied,” he said. “They’re free to govern their property however they see fit. There’s not much we can do about it. “I’ve wracked my brain trying to figure out how we can help the public.”

Overlanders Bridge Rehabilitation Project

APRIL - OCTOBER 2015

With close to 42,000 vehicles crossing its deck each day, the Overlanders Bridge is one of the most important transportation assets connecting the north and south shores of Kamloops. And... it's in need of repair.

Here's the good news... - At least two lanes of traffic on the bridge deck (one each direction) will be kept open at all times during the project. - The east side multi-use pathway will remain open to pedestrians and cyclists. - Transit and emergency vehicles will be given priority access onto the bridge.

Here's the not-so-good news... Expect delays. While every attempt will be made to minimize the impact on residents, business owners, motorists,

transit users and pedestrians, delays and congestion throughout the project are inevitable and should be expected.

Plan ahead. Consider using alternate routes if at biking, walking or taking transit for your daily commute.

The best way to decrease traffic congestion is to decrease traffic. all possible. Think about carpooling,

Starting in April, watch for regular traffic updates (including delays, lanes closures, and alternate routes) on the City website, and through social media, advertising and road messaging boards.

Notes Spring Cleaning ~ Bridge Washing City crews will be washing the Overlanders Bridge this weekend. Please obey all traffic control personnel and signage and use caution when driving in proximity to the workers. Your co-operation is greatly appreciated.

Career Opportunities Please visit www.kamloops.ca/careers for current job postings. Did you know you can now apply for jobs online? Visit our website and set up a profile to apply for current positions.

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

Fire Hydrant Flow Testing Kamloops Fire and Rescue Services will be inspecting the City's fire hydrants until May 15, conducting flow tests to ensure they are operating properly and have adequate flow. The program is to comply with fire underwriter requirements. The program will run 7 days a week from 9 am to 8 pm. During flow testing, poor water pressure and/or high turbidity levels may result. This situation is temporary and may last for up to four hours. If turbidity is detected, you are advised to run a cold water tap and avoid doing laundry until the turbidity clears up. Please assist us by keeping shrubs and trees pruned back from fire hydrants. Please note all private hydrant owners must have their hydrants tested at this time as well.

This little pig farmer went to provincial court . . . CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Barriere pig farmer must log efforts to maintain and repair his fence after pleading guilty under the Livestock Act to allowing his animals to roam on neighbours’ property and a nearby highway. In Kamloops pro-

vincial court yesterday (March 19‚, the Crown outlined the frustration of neighbours and danger to motorists from Sabyan’s pigs — which ranged in size from 200 and 900 pounds — repeatedly escaping an enclosure. Sabyan also pleaded guilty under the Motor Vehicle Act to allowing domestic animals on the highway.

“This was more than just a nuisance,” judge Len Marchand said. “There was significant damage to neighbours’ property and risks to motorists on the Yellowhead Highway.” Articling student Jay Michi said Sabyan — who calls his livestock “my little piggies” — once kept as many as

100 of the animals at his Louis Creek property, but that number is now down to 22.. Michi said Sabyan has lived in Barriere since the late 60s and is a life-long farmer. He began to raise pigs about three years ago. He has suffered serious health problems recently and makes a limited

income from his operation. Marchand said the RCMP made extensive efforts to accommodate Sabyan and allow him to fix his fence,

but he neglected to do so. The sentencing judge gave him a $500 fine and one year of probation. Sabyan must pro-

vide proof of repairs to his fence by the middle of next month, as well as evidence of inspection and further repair to probation officials or police.

HOW HARD CAN IT REALLY BE? Do you know anyone who is the executor of someone’s Will? There is much to know about the legal duties and expectations the executor takes on when they administer an estate. For instance, executors must ensure that all of the deceased’s debts are properly prioritized and paid. Executors are personally responsible for protecting the estate assets (i.e., they could be personally liable if they fail to keep fire insurance on the house and it burns down). They must provide to beneficiaries a proper reconciliation showing how all estate funds have been received, spent and disbursed. They must file tax returns for the deceased and the estate, and are personally liable for any unpaid income taxes.

THE DUTIES OF AN EXECUTOR ARE MANY, AND CAN BE CONFUSING. WE CAN HELP.

Spring has sprung, but don’t expect more of the warm temperatures the Tournament Capital has been enjoying in recent weeks. “So far, the beginning part of March has been warm,” Environment Canada meteorologist Lisa Coldwells told KTW. “Unfortunately, that’s not going to continue.” Coldwells said Kamloops will be under “a firehose” of weather systems over the next couple of weeks, bringing cooler temperatures and rain. “Now, we’ve got one system after another and there are good chances of precipitation,” she said, noting temperatures in Kamloops will remain above normal, but not by much. “Right now, normal daytime highs are 12 C and we’re forecasting 13 C to 15 C for the next week. That’s a far cry from the balmy highs recorded so far this month. “When you look at March, it certainly started out as being particularly warm,” Coldwells said. “Since March 10, Kamloops has set three daily temperature records.” Gazing into her crystal ball, Coldwells

That was winter? If you thought winter seemed particularly mild in Kamloops this year, you were right. In fact, according the Environment Canada meteorologist Lisa Coldwells, the daily mean temperature in the Tournament Capital in December, January and February was nearly 3 C warmer than average. “The average mean temperature in those months should be -1.8 C and this year the mean temperature was 1.1 C,” she said. “So, you’re looking at almost three degrees above normal on the mean.” This winter was also a dry one, Coldwells conceded, but the numbers don’t bear that out thanks to that massive dump of snow Kamloops received in early January. “In December, January and February, 72.8 cm of snow fell in Kamloops but, as you will recall, a good portion of that — almost 30 cm — fell in that two-day snowfall on Jan. 4 and Jan. 5,” she said. “It has been dry, but that monster snowfall in January bumped the total up.” Overall, Kamloops’ snow total this winter was 122 per cent of normal — due largely to the big January dump. Coldwells said Kamloops’ first snow of the season was recorded on Nov. 17, while the last measurable trace fell on Feb. 5. — Tim Petruk said the warmer-thannormal temperatures will likely continue into April. “B.C. will have above-normal temperatures for April, but precipitation is hard

to predict,” she said, refusing to speculate about what summer might bring. “No, that’s getting into the realm of climatology — and that’s very hard to predict.”

Kamloops sheriff allegedly attacked by inmate TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A man with a lengthy and violent criminal history — including an assault conviction involving a police officer — is being investigated after a deputy sheriff was allegedly attacked this week inside a holding cell at the Kamloops Law Courts. Dean Purdy, spokesman for the BCGEU, the union representing B.C.’s sheriffs and corrections officers, said the incident took place on Monday, March 16.

“A deputy sheriff was accessing one of the cells in the Kamloops courthouse and a prisoner attacked him and punched him several times,” Purdy said. “The other sheriffs in the cells were able to get control of the prisoner and restrain him.” Purdy said the injured sheriff was taken to Royal Inland Hospital for treatment. “He received a few punches to the head and the body, so he’s at home recovering,” he said. KTW has learned the prisoner alleged to have been involved in the

attack is a 27-year-old man with a long history of violent offences. His criminal record dates back to 2009 and includes convictions in Kamloops, Vernon, Kelowna and Prince George. He was making a court appearance on Monday on robbery and weapons-related charges. In 2010, he was convicted in Kelowna of assault with intent to resist arrest — a crime that netted a 30-day jail term. The man cannot be named because he has not been charged. According to Purdy, assaults on

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 unveiling of the province’s 10-year multi-billion-dollar transportation plan. Transportation Minister Todd Stone released the document this week in Vancouver and will review it today (March 20) at a Kamloops Chamber of Commerce lunch at Hotel 540. While critics, including the NDP, complained there was nothing much new in the plan, at least we have a cohesive document setting out what will be done. That includes a reminder that the Trans-Canada Highway east of the city will be four-laned and new revelations that Highway 5 North will be upgraded and that Highway 1 between Abbotsford and Langley will be six-laned. The last major plan was released in 2003 and this one is welcome.

OUR

VIEW

NOT: The mess that has become the new office of the auditor general for local government. Amid complaints not much has been done despite millions being spent comes a press release yesterday from the office, alleging the provincial government-appointed audit council is overstepping its boundaries. We’d say Coralee Oakes, the rookie Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development and former Quesnel councillor, is feeling the heat. HOT: The weather, as in the winter that just passed, which blessed/ cursed us with a mean temperature 3 C above normal. There is no doubt the warm winter impacted skiing and other coldweather activities and there is little doubt the early arrival of spring has brought on ticks far sooner than we would have liked. All this while the East continues to battle the winter from hell.

Life is a constant climb

t was 50 years ago this year that Mother Abbess told young nun wannabe Maria to “climb every mountain.” Lately, it’s been as if the Mother Superior from The Sound of Music has been speaking directly to me through her words — and, no, I don’t have plans to join a convent or work as a governess for a whistle-blowing Austrian commander with seven kids. Instead, I have set a goal to climb every mountain, search high and low, follow every highway, every path I know — in the physical sense. It’s my own self-induced form of therapy to get back into my love of exploring, namely by hiking, biking and paddling the local terrain that surrounds me. Call it my own Cheryl Strayed moment and, perhaps, I was slightly influenced after seeing the film version of Strayed’s memoir Wild, in which she hiked 1,000 miles along the Pacific Crest Trail, but I want to break in my boots while running through the wildflowers at Mount Fosthall or some other local peak. Like Strayed, this goal comes on the heels of a devastating loss. My father died last month. An adventurer who loved his rod and reel, paddle and had a longstanding membership with Mountain Equipment Co-op, my dad took my mom, sister and I on many outdoor excursions. For many summers, we paddled the lakes in both Algonquin and Killarney parks in Ontario.

SHOT We camped, portaged and hiked all over the province. Our last paddle adventure as a family, now expanded with husbands and small kids, was to the Bowron Lakes in Central B.C.’s Cariboo Mountain Range. The famous canoe route takes an average of seven days to complete, but with my sister’s and my daughter only two years old at the time, we decided to take turns and paddle only part of the journey. It was still memorable and, luckily, we didn’t encounter a grizzly like that German family we met did. My dad, who had his knee replaced not long after the trip, was a trooper even when he landed in the drink trying to get out of his canoe. It’s those memories I cherish and want to continue with my kids. Since moving back to B.C. in 1992, I have hiked to maybe 10 summits on Vancouver Island, as well as in the Coastal Selkirk, and the Rocky mountain ranges, but I have only been to a few peaks since moving to the Okanagan.

Taking a chairlift to the top of Silver Star’s summit shouldn’t really count as one of them. I have only been atop one of the humps of Camel Hump near Lumby. I have looked to Bluenose above Lavington, but never climbed to her snowy top. My last trip to Monashee Provincial Park was 10 years ago — and Mount Fosthall is still virgin territory to me. The Twin Lakes near Cherryville and Sugarloaf Mountain await my gentle tromping, as do Rose and Swanson mountains above Armstrong and the Enderby Cliffs. They beckon me as I do a 360scan around this beautiful valley, thinking of the person I would most like to have join me. All this adventure is preparing me for the ultimate goal — to fulfill my father’s dying wish to have his ashes scattered in some of his favourite places. This includes some of the lakes and peaks around this region and in his beloved Algonquin and Killarney. The last stop is much farther away — the land where my father was raised, South Africa. Those broken-in boots will one day trod their way to the top of the Drakensberg Mountains in Kwa-Zulu, Natal and to the Cape region, where my dad’s remains will make their final resting stop. Thank you Dad, and Mother Abbess, for the inspiration. Kristin Froneman is a reporter with the Vernon Morningstar entertainment@ vernonmorningstar.com

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CRIME AGAINST KIDS AJAX APPROVAL WOULD BE ‘CRIMINAL’ NEEDS MORE ACCURATE DESCRIPTION IN PRINT

Editor: Recent stories about charges for possession of “child pornography” really has me thinking. Why do we use this terminology? In my opinion, this terminology implies consent. What we are really discussing is people who choose to watch child rape, which perpetuates child rape through the purchase or viewing of such material. The term “child pornography” does not accurately portray what is happening and I would like to see a more accurate description when discussing this issue. Shelley Blair Kamloops

Editor: Re: Dr. Dennis Karpiak’s letter of March 17 (‘Ajax deserves assessment afforded other projects’): Right on, Dr. Karpiak! No matter how many people are out of work, it would actually be criminal to allow the Ajax mine to proceed. We live in a society of laws and

professed justice. Yes, jobs are needed, but not at the expense of medical health and welfare. True justice demands rejecting the proposed mine and supporting the health and welfare of Kamloops’ 100,000 beings — whether some of them like it or not. James Fankhauser Kamloops

YOU MADE DISNEYLAND VISIT POSSIBLE Editor: I want to give a warm-hearted thank you to the staff at Taco Del Mar and Bold Fire Inspired Pizzeria and the Kamloops community for making my dream of going to Disneyland come true. I have serious health issues and have

always wanted to visit Disneyland. If it wasn’t for all of them, my dream would not have happened. I had the best time ever and my family and I appreciate the time and effort. Jenna Fowler Kamloops

THANKS FROM WORLD KIDNEY DAY ORGANIZERS Editor: On behalf of the B.C. branch of the Kidney Foundation of Canada and Thompson Rivers University nursing students, we would like to thank everyone who helped to make World Kidney Day 2015 a successful event. World Kidney Day was held on March 12, with events at Northills Shopping Centre. The goal was to spread awareness about the important role our kidneys play in our overall health, along with providing prevention strategies to Kamloops residents. The heath fair hosted various health associations and was attended by more than 300 residents. This event could not have been possible without the participation of various organizations and their representatives. We would like to thank our participants for attending and contributing to World Kidney Day: The Kamloops chapter of the Kidney Foundation of Canada, Extra Foods volunteer

pharmacist, British Columbia Transplant, Kamloops chapter of the Canadian Celiac Association, Kamloops chapter of the Canadian Diabetes Association, Kamloops chapter of the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, staff of Royal Inland Hospital dialysis unit and community dialysis unit, Thompson Rivers University nursing students, volunteer renal dietician Kangan Water, Canadian National Institute for the Blind, Heart and Stroke Foundation, Stroke Recovery, Kamloops Brain Injury Association and Medical Arts Health Research. We would also like to thank Coun. Arjun Singh and North Shore Business Improvement Association executive director Steven Puhallo for their support and participation in the ribbon-cutting ceremony. We would also like to thank all of our generous donors for their support: Extra Foods pharmacy for all equipment

and supplies; Northills Shopping Centre; Extra Foods; Kidney Foundation of Canada; Shoppers Drug Mart; Nuleaf Produce Market; Menchies Frozen Yogurt; Chopped Leaf; Loboy Market; Señor Froggy’s; Denny’s; No Limits Fitness; Canadian Celiac Association; Easy Home Travelodge Mountview; and Kamloops Coast Hotel and Conference Centre. We would also like to recognize and thank the dialysis patients who supported World Kidney Day and took the time to share their stories with community members. Kamloops residents are invited to attend the Kidney Walk, which will be held on Sept. 22 in McDonald Park (dogs are welcome). Sandra Dessau, Madison Beecroft, Sonika Judge, Pamal Serown, in collaboration with TRU field guide Dr. Florriann Fehr and the B.C. branch of the Kidney Foundation of Canada

LOCAL NEWS

Highland Valley gets new GM There has been a change in senior management at Highland Valley Copper (HVC). General manager Chris Dechert will be leaving the mine near Logan Lake to assume the role of vice-president of copper operations for Teck Chile, based in Santiago. Greg Brouwer, HVCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current manager of operations, will be succeeding Dechert as general manager as of April 1. Dechert joined Teck in 2009 as general manager at HVC. During his tenure

as GM, he led the mine through a number of projects, including a major mine life extension and the mill-optimization project, while improving cost and production performance. Prior to joining Teck, Dechert was vice-president of corporate development for Teckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Antamina joint venture in Peru. Brouwer joined Teck in 1998 as a mine engineer and, since that time, has held more senior engineering, operating and corporate roles within Teck.

Before joining HVC, Brouwer codeveloped courageous safety leadership and was director of the zinc nutrient initiative with the International Zinc Association and was responsible for a global market development initiative designed to promote the benefits of zinc fertilizer in increasing crop productivity and improving global human health. Highland Valley Copper produces copper and molybdenum in concentrate and employs more than 1,400 people. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mine life is set to continue to 2027.

TRUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Enactus club runner-up in Calgary Acacia Schmietenknop, president of Enactus Thompson Rivers, received a regional Women Leaders of Tomorrow award at the 2015 Enactus Eastern Regional Exposition in Calgary. The event drew 19 post-secondary institutions with Enactus groups, non-profit student

volunteer organizations. Thompson Rivers Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team also competed in three categories, placing second runner-up in entrepreneurship and eco-living challenges and first runner-up in an education challenge. Schmietenknop was one of two receiving the leadership awards. She was recognized

for her work in the community and her five yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; involvement with the team. The TRU team has 64 members and has provided 11,000 volunteer hours in the community. It will travel to Toronto in May for the national exposition, which will see more than 60 institutions competing.

YOU &

THE

LAW HOW NOT TO HURT YOUR COURT CASE Sometimes you can be your own worst enemy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even with a winning case â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and it can cost you. Suppose youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a pedestrian crossing an intersection on a green light. A car turns left into your marked crosswalk and hits you. You see the car coming and push off its hood. An eye witness says youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lifted up into the air some five to eight feet and land on the road 10 feet away. The driver admits itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s her fault. An ambulance and the police are called, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re rushed to hospital. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no question you should get compensation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so how could you damage your case? By exaggerating the accident and your injuries, telling different stories to different health professionals, not being upfront about your job history â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in short, by destroying your credibility. A recent case shows that, while the court will still give you fair compensation for your actual injuries, your exaggerations will undermine your expertsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; evidence. And though you win, the court might award legal costs against you too, which could eat significantly into your compensation. Here, Sean (name changed) told his doctors he was thrown 15 feet up into the air, and landed 30 to 40 feet away from the car that struck him. Though he spoke to the police and ambulance personnel at the scene, and the hospital recorded he never lost consciousness, he also told one doctor that he became unconscious. Various hospital tests done the night of the accident showed no broken bones or cuts, only blunt trauma and bruises. His accident injuries were soft-tissue ones which healed over time. Neurological (brain) tests and doctorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; reports didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t support any claims of concussion or post-traumatic stress disorder. Since so much of what Sean told his doctors was, at best, a huge stretch, the medical opinions based on that information were heavily discounted. Said the court: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The difficulty with such inconsistent reporting of the accident, specifically the distance that [Sean] might have been thrownâ&#x20AC;Ś is that subsequent expert reportsâ&#x20AC;Ś were based on an exaggerated set of factsâ&#x20AC;Ś The weight to be given to those reports is significantly diminished â&#x20AC;&#x201C; perhaps to a level where they are almost worthless.â&#x20AC;? Sean also told his doctors he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go back to work due to his car accident injuries. In fact, it turned out heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been fired from his job for persistent absenteeism, a problem pre-dating his car accident. Sean claimed roughly one-half to one million dollars for a supposedly catastrophic accident. But he received $32,500 for pain and suffering, about $15,000 for past wage loss and $3,000 for out-of pocket costs, for what was a minor accident without significant injuries. And rather than reimbursing Sean for some of his legal fees by awarding legal costs in his favour (normal for a winning claimant), the court left the question of such costs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; substantial in a 12-day trial â&#x20AC;&#x201C; open for later argument. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re involved in a car accident, seek legal advice, and make sure you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt your own case.

Blazers on the brink MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

ire is the Kamloops Blazers’ playoff predicament. “Before we were saying must-win, but there was always still a chance if you didn’t win,” said Cole Ully, the 20-yearold forward who leads the Blazers in goals, assists and points. “Now, it’s more of an actual must-win in these last couple games. I guess it depends on what Tri-City does but, more than likely, they’re must-win games.” The hometown Prince George Cougars landed a crippling blow with a 4-2 victory over Kamloops on Wednesday, March 18. Read the sidebar below for an explanation of what the defeat means to the Blazers’ playoff picture. Head coach Don Hay held a lengthy meeting with his players at the CN Centre yesterday (March 19) to discuss what happened on Wednesday and shift focus to tonight’s all-important rematch with the Cougars in Prince George. “There’s no reason for us to be not ready to play last night,” Hay told KTW after the meeting broke. “That was the disappointing part of the game. “Prince George played with that desperation early and we played with desperation late. It was like two different games. “The team that plays with the most desperation is going to find a way to get results.” Hay has been preaching urgency and zero-hour passion — and, yes, desperation — since the Christmas break, but his team was outworked for the first 40 minutes on Wednesday. Prince George was up 2-0 before the first period was four minutes old. “We really needed to get a good start and, when it didn’t happen, it kind of got us down and shocked us a bit,” Ully said. “We did a good job coming back in the third but, sometimes, it’s too late.” If Hay’s team plays like it did in the third period on Wednesday, there’s a great chance the Blazers can pick up a victory

Jesse Zaharichuk (right) and the Kamloops Blazers are in danger of missing the WHL playoffs for a second consecutive season.

tonight and feel confident heading back to Kamloops for the regular-season finale — the last of three consecutive tilts against the Cougars tomorrow at Interior Savings Centre. Game time is 7 p.m. “We can’t worry about what other teams are doing and we can’t hope for someone else to do our job for us,” Hay said. “I’m just worried about our game on Friday. We need points.” Ully and Kamloops defenceman Ryan Rehill have only been part of Blazer teams that knew their playoff fate — in or out — well before the final week of the season. This type of last-minute scrambling is new to them — and it’s unnerving. “At this point, it’s kind of do or die for us,” said Rehill, noting his teammates are embracing the challenge ahead. “We can’t control what Tri is doing. We need to find a way to get points to set us up to get into the playoffs.”

The playoff picture

The Western Conference playoff scenario, as it relates to the Blazers, is muddled. The only way Kamloops can catch Prince George is if the teams finish tied for both third place in the B.C. Division and

eighth place in the Western Conference. If two teams finish tied for eighth — and for the last wild-card spot in the conference — they meet in a play-in game to see which squad advances to the postseason. In order for the Cougars and Blazers to finish tied for eighth, Kamloops must twice beat Prince George in regulation to close out the campaign and both teams have to be surpassed by the Tri-City Americans. That is possible if the Americans win each of their three remaining games — two against Portland and one against Spokane. Should that scenario take place — TriCity would have 67 points, while Kamloops and Prince George would have 65 points — the play-in game would be held at the CN Centre, as the Cougars would have more victories than the Blazers. The Blazers seem more likely to sneak into the post-season by finishing tied with or ahead of the Americans, given the teams’ remaining schedules. Should Tri-City and Kamloops end the regular season tied in eighth place, they will meet in a play-in game in Kennewick, Wash. Both teams have 61 points, but the Americans have a game in hand.

The last time Ken Huber was in the ring, things didn’t go quite as planned. The Kamloopsbased boxer lost his World Boxing Council Canadian cruiserweight title fighting at the national championships in Toronto. Huber is now looking to rebound, defending his B.C. Combative Sports provincial title in his first sanctioned fight since nationals. “I’m excited to get back in the ring,” Huber told KTW, days before departing for his fight in Victoria. The 32-year-old will be going up against former B.C. heavyweight champion Aaron Downey tomorrow (March 21). They will fight at cruiserweight (a maximum of 195 pounds). “I don’t know much about him,” Huber said of Downey. “I’ve heard he hits like a tank and he’s a super-tough, come-forward guy. “I’m expecting an all-out war, as usual.” Huber’s loss at the national championship wasn’t far from his mind before he left for Victoria. After losing at

KEN HUBER

nationals, the four-time defending provincial champion said he is using this weekend’s fight as a barometer for where to take his career next. Ideally, he would like to start fighting in the light-heavyweight weight class, where fighters would be closer in size and weight to him. But, that doesn’t mean Huber is taking it easy in his title defence this weekend. He feels he has something to prove, both to himself and the boxing world. “There’s a little extra pressure going into this fight because it’s my comeback fight, from losing at the Canadians in Toronto,” Huber said. “I put a little extra pressure on myself to work a little harder and get back in there and prove to myself why I’m the champ and why I’m going to stay the champ.”

KIJHL FINAL

STORM AND DYNAMITERS SET TO DO BATTLE IN KIJHL CHAMPIONSHIP

ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

For eight players on the Kamloops Storm, this situation is not unfamiliar. Back in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League championship final for the second time in two years, Kamloops will drop the puck in Kimberley against the Dynamiters tomorrow (March 21). And, though the situation is not unfamiliar, the club is hoping the result will be. “Last year, going into it, we were really cocky,” Storm forward Ryan Keis told KTW. “We figured we already had it all won and we were going to win. We just assumed no one was going to be able to beat us because we were so strong last season. “Then a team came in and simply outworked us.” The Storm went on to lose the 2013-2014 league championship in

six games to the Beaver Valley Nitehawks, a team that later won both the Cyclone Taylor Cup (the B.C. junior B title) and the Keystone Cup (the Western Canadian junior B championship). This season, Kamloops is a different team and is looking for a different result. Not the flashiest, not the oldest, the Storm have made their name on working hard and winning battles. It’s how they eliminated Sicamous, 100 Mile House and leaguebest Osoyoos and it’s how they’ll look to beat Kimberley. Across the province in the Kootenays, the Dynamiters have had a similar road to the championship series. “Kimberley is basically the same kind of team as us,” Storm head coach Ed Patterson said. “They play four lines and developed their team all season, then went on a run — at the end, they

won 10 straight to [head into] playoffs. Kimberley boasts the league’s top two playoff scorers, Braden Saretsky and Coy Prevost, along with Tyson Brouwer, who has been among the KIJHL’s top goaltenders all season. But, despite their youth, experience might

be where Kamloops has the edge on Kimberley. With eight players with final experience, along with Patterson, who has been to the KIJHL final in all four of his years as a coach, the Storm are aiming for their first title since coming to Kamloops in 2006. Kimberley last com-

peted for the KIJHL title in 1980, then the Kimberley Knights, defeating the Trail Smoke Eaters to capture the league championship. “They’re kind of in the same boat — they’re high, they’re working together,” Patterson said. “It’s going to be a good battle, this series.”

It’s in the stars for WolfPack baseball SIMPSON, CHADWICK HOPING TO RETURN TO CCBC WINNER’S CIRCLE THIS SEASON

ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Luc Simpson likes to tell people the stars have aligned for the WolfPack’s 2015 season. The timing couldn’t be better for the fourth-year outfielder, who will take to the field as a member of Thompson Rivers University’s baseball team for the final time this season. “We’re going to be scary-good,” Simpson said this week. The WolfPack will open their season tomorrow (March 21), with a four-game series against the Vancouver Island Baseball Institute Mariners. The teams were originally to have played the weekend series in Nanaimo, but

wet conditions necessitated a change in venue. The teams will play at 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. tomorrow and 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Sunday. All games will be played at Norbrock Stadium. Having gone 16-11 in its 27-game exhibition campaign — with a franchise-best 6-6 record in its annual trip to Arizona — TRU is looking to again return to the winner’s circle in the Canadian Collegiate Baseball Conference. The club last won a league championship in 2009. The Pack feel they have the team to do it this season. “We’re always going to hit,” Simpson said. “That’s our team, we’re a hitting team. The 21-year-old said that, with a vet-

eran group, including nine senior players, he expects TRU to be strong in the field and on the mound, too. “I don’t want to say anything’s weak because we’re not going to be weak,” he said. “We’re going to be strong throughout.” For head coach Ray Chadwick, who is entering his 12th season at the helm of the WolfPack, the exhibition season was highlighted by what he called very good pitching and phenomenal defence. The realistic goal, he said, is to again wear the CCBC crown in 2015. “My beef and complaint on these guys for the last while has been our pitchers walking guys and not throwing strikes and then our defence not making plays when the pitch-

ers do throw strikes and we put the ball in play,” Chadwick said. “That has been unreal so far this spring.” With nine players on the verge of retirement, there are obviously some personal

goals and future plans on the horizon. Some players would like to continue their baseball careers elsewhere, while others will hang up the cleats for only as long as it takes to find spots on

other teams around Kamloops, including the Kamloops Sun Devils. But, right now, with the stars in line, the only focus for Simpson and company is the college season ahead

of them. “At the end of the day, the only stat that matters is that wins and loss column,” Simpson said. “That’s really where I’m focusing on this year.”

The 72-year-old Ottawa Senators general manager revealed his Stage 4 colon cancer diagnosis in November in hopes of getting word out about early detection. Dr. Robin Boushey told Murray: “Just by doing what you did, we’ve had 30-year-old men come in. We’ve caught numerous cases of guys that have

early stages of cancer.” Nephew Tim Murray, general manager of the Buffalo Sabres, got his colonoscopy on Jan. 21. He isn’t the only one to do so

because of Bryan. “He is such a recognized face in hockey that his message touched a lot of people,” Tim said. “We had waves of mail and text messages expressing the fact that people were able to detect their colon cancer at an early stage after getting tested as a result of Bryan going out publicly. Saving one life is huge. How many will he be able to save? Hundreds, thousands? Nobody knows.” Murray, who was honoured on Monday,

March 16, in Boca Raton, Florida, by colleagues for career achievements, is undergoing chemotherapy. His doctor told him he’s “not getting any better,” but he has been cleared to stay active and do his job. Murray has coached or managed in hockey for more than 40 years. He coached Washington, Detroit, Florida, Anaheim and Ottawa. In addition to the Senators, he has been a general manager with Anaheim, Florida and Detroit.

BRACKETS IN TATTERS AROUND THE COUNTRY JUST HOURS INTO FIRST DAY OF MARCH MADNESS NEW YORK — Maybe if everyone’s bracket is busted, no one’s is? It was barely after lunch on the West Coast when Georgia State finished the second big upset of the day — in just the first three games. Between the Panthers’ upset

of Baylor and the University of Alabama at Birmingham’s (UAB) takedown of Iowa State, the tournament’s first big day left almost every bracket blemished. ESPN says that three games into yesterday’s (March 19) action, more than 99 per cent

of the brackets submitted on their website were damaged by the upsets. That leaves only about 87,000 out of 11.6 million still with a perfect bracket — 0.7 per cent. Spokesman Josh Krulewitz tweeted that nearly 1 in 6 of ESPN’s

brackets — 16 per cent — had Iowa State in the Final Four, and 5.1 per cent had Baylor there. Just 3.1 per cent of Yahoo Sports users picked UAB to win and 5.9 picked Georgia Southern. –The Associated Press

But, he wants cancer awareness to be his legacy and he spoke about it at the dinner in his honour. “We have high profiles,” Murray said, referring to NHL general managers. “So if you can help, whether through a message you make or through your organization to help people, there’s so many people affected, so many young people affected. I think we have an obligation to give any advice or any help that we can.” Nashville Predators

GM David Poile said Murray is “serving a higher purpose” by speaking about the disease. Former GM Doug MacLean talked to his close friend and mentor when he was diagnosed. Now, they talk about the sport they’ve spent so much time in. “He said to me a couple of times, ‘I’m doing some things now, I’m spending more time with the girls,’” MacLean said. “He’s been to Colorado a few times where both his daughters live. He said,

‘I’m doing more of those things that I should’ve done before.’ But then it’s right back to hockey.’’ Murray will talk with his wife, Senators owner Eugene Melnyk and doctors before deciding whether to return next season. MacLean would like to see Murray stay, as has been the case the past several months. “He’s been doing it since he was 19, coaching,” MacLean said. “It’s courageous. He’s going to grind. It’s his life.” –The Canadian Press

IKE McKINNEY

MITSUKO “MITS” KUROYAMA (nee KATO)

Mr. Mitchell “Ike” McKinney passed away at Kamloops, BC on Saturday, March 14, 2015 aged 89 years.

January 5, 1930 – March 12, 2015 Mitsuko “Mits” Kuroyama (Kato), passed away peacefully on March 12th, 2015 with her family by her side. Mits was born January 5, 1930, in Royston/Cumberland, British Columbia where she lived with her family until they were relocated to an internment camp at Tashme during World War II. After the war her family moved to North Kamloops where she met Arnie and they were married in 1951. Mits was a long time employee of Safety Mart Foods until her retirement. Throughout the years she enjoyed softball, bowling, curling and golfing. She particularly loved golfing with her sisters and friends at the Kamloops Golf and Country Club. She continued to golf until she was 80. Although she enjoyed her sports her first love was her large extended family as well as being surrounded by her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Family is what made her genuinely happy. Mits was a kind gentle soul, was generous to a fault, and had a delightful dry witty sense of humour that never failed to make one smile. She will be sadly missed. Mits is survived by her daughter, Gail (Ken) Jefferies and son, Robert (Kathy) Kuroyama; grandchildren Terry (Nicole) Murray, Rebecca Stewart, Matthew (Jenna) Kuroyama, Courtney (Peter) Johansson and great-grandchildren Kaitlyn (Kurtis) Munro, Natsuko, Jacob, Riley, Canon and Ella; her siblings Stan (Kaz) Kato, Barry (Anna) Kato, Emi Ebisuzaki, Fran (Tosh) Takenaka, Marion Motokado, Barbara (John) Konno, Nancy (Marvin) Keller, sister-in-law Margaret Kato, brother-in-law Tom Nakashimada; as well as many nieces and nephews. She is predeceased by her husband, Arnie; her father, Guntaro; her mother, Kikuye; her brother, Akira (Spud), brothers-in-law Joe Motokado, John Deshima, Kaney Ebisuzaki and her sisters, Yuri Deshima and Sumi Nakashimada. We would like to extend a very special thank-you to the wonderful nurses and care aids at the Gemstone Care Centre; there are not enough words to express our thanks and gratitude for the care, love and compassion you have shown to Mom. A heartfelt thank you for the help, love and support of friends and family who were always there during good times and bad – we couldn’t do it without you, love you all. The Memorial Service will be held on March 23, 2015 at 2:30 at the Kamloops Funeral Home, 285 Fortune Dr., with Reverend Yasuhiro Miyakawa officiating. In lieu of flowers or koden, memorial donations may be made to the Kamloops Buddhist Church or the Kamloops Hospice in memory of Mits.

Ike will be lovingly remembered by his wife Rita, his daughters Janet (Cal); Judy; Pat (Gary); and his son Mitch (Hazel). Ike will be dearly missed by his sisters Evelyn and Peggy. Ike was also blessed with a large extended family made up of 9 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren. He is predeceased by 6 sisters: Ruth, Mabel, Veleda, Helen, Fay, Barb and 6 brothers: Richard, Jim, Harry, Leonard, Arnold and Roy. Ike was born and raised on a farm in Strome, Alberta. He was proud to have served in the Canadian Forces in 1944/45. He and Rita met in 1946 in Wavy Lake, Alberta – they fell in love and were married in 1947. He and Rita made their home in McBride, BC where Ike ran a successful gravel business, farmed, and celebrated with his life-long friends at the old McBride Hotel. In 1985, he and Rita moved to Kamloops to enjoy retirement and be closer to family. Ike was an artist, a horseman, a woodworker, an inventor and the kind of man that knew the real value of friends and family. Ike was renowned for ‘holding court’ at the kitchen table to regale his friends and family with stories and provocative statements to get a raucous debate going. A man of many titles – “Ike, Dad, Grandpa, Great-Grandpa” – we will miss you so. A Celebration of life will be held on Saturday, March 21 at 2:00 pm in the Schoening Funeral Chapel, 513 Seymour Street, Kamloops, BC. In lieu of flowers, and if friends or family desire, donations should be made to the charity of your choice.

FAITH

By all means, disagree, but do so with love

e: Bill Ligertwood’s Rational Thoughts column of Feb. 20 (‘The trouble with private religious schools’): From media accounts, I know Ligertwood has been very involved in the peace movement in Kamloops and is dedicated to causes of social justice. I grant he is sincere in his desire to remove from society all impediments to peace, justice and the common good. In this desire, Ligertwood (among other members of the activist atheist movement) has concluded the chief cause of all social ills and violence is religion. This ideological stance posits that, if society could be rid of all religion, longed-for world peace could be achieved. This world view holds that, if only those delu-

sional people who irrationally hold onto thousands-year-old traditions could be persuaded to abandon their ridiculous notions, a purely secular society could live in unimpeded peace. To Ligertwood, it must be horribly frustrating to see people persisting in their religious communities when he feels so passionately that all wars on the planet would cease the moment the last house of worship would close it doors. Obviously, he and I would differ on

that point. However, I refuse to ridicule, patronize and belittle those with whom I differ — nor do I think it fair to create a straw man of those with whom I disagree so as to misrepresent and, thus more easily, dismiss their position. I cannot, therefore, cast aspersions on the IQ of those who advocate for the superiority of atheism. It would be false and unfair to cast learned individuals such as Sam Harris or Richard Dawkins as deluded imbeciles. Similarly, it would be untrue to say they advocate violence and mayhem simply because they hold a different world view than me. This was very much borne out in the aftermath of the events last month in Chapel Hill, N.C., when a strident atheist decided it was his duty to rid the world of some religious people via the barrel of a gun.

Without delay, prominent leaders in the atheist movement issued statements disavowing any association with the accused shooter — and rightly so. Dawkins was quoted in the Huffington Post condemning the murder of three young Muslims and, in the same article, Yale Humanists director Chris Stedman called on “vocal representatives of atheism” to reflect on how their activism contributes to a culture of fear and hostility. I would expect Ligertwood, as a peaceloving activist, would concur with his atheist confreres on this. It would be as wrong for me to characterize Ligertwood as a mentally unstable, gun-toting vigilante just because he widely publishes his atheist views as it would be for Ligertwood to characterize me as a medieval crusader just because I am a Christian pastor.

completely legitimate discourse is to engage in respectful dialogue grounded in fact without distortions. In his Feb. 20 column, Ligertwood puts forth again his oft-asserted objection to independent religious schools receiving any tax dollars (full disclosure, everyone in my family has always gone to public school). To his credit, Ligertwood is consistent in his objection to such schools as he made a formal complaint to the Ministry of Education in 2010 regarding curriculum concerns. To the best of my knowledge, the Ministry of Education investigated and found no wrongdoing. But, we must ask that Ligertwood not give the wrong impression when he writes on these matters. The facts are that all independent schools in British Columbia must teach all of the proscribed secular provincial curriculum to get a nickel of funding and they charge tuition and fundraise to cover the cost of additional religious content. If they fail to teach that curriculum, they lose accreditation and funding. Furthermore, the public purse never pays a cent for capital costs for independent schools and only half as much per student in core funding. Independent schools receive a pittance of what public schools do. It is not my intention to get into a volatile debate about education matters with Ligertwood, but just to use it as an example. We can only have an

intelligent and respectful conversation about education funding if we all agree to share all the information honestly with the public. This same principle applies to all discourse in which we might engage. We may honestly disagree with our neighbours on faith matters and our view of the world, but we respectfully share our experience and our insights. We may even lovingly try to persuade others of the merits of the wisdom revealed to us in our lives. When we are able to do that, we are learning from one another and living in peace with our neighbours. Disdain for those who believe differently will never open the door to the peace that we seek, but simply creates distrust and acrimony. I am a Christian. I serve the church. To some, that may seem like a ridiculous waste of time. But, for me ,it has been most life-giving and I take delight in following a man who preached, “Blessed are the poor . . .” and “Love your enemies . . .” and “Lo, I am with you always . . .” This faith calls me to something bigger than myself and in it I see a hope for the world. Am I also part of a movement that has at times failed miserably to live up to the teachings and call of Jesus? In all honesty and humility, I must confess the Church and I have fallen short many times and have been poor ambassadors for Christ. I deeply regret there are those who have been hurt by people who have

used the church as cover for their own selfish agenda. For this, the church must show contrition and offer help and healing. Yet, in the interest of the very peace Ligertwood honestly desires, I would ask that we would change the conversation from one of accusations and recriminations to one of genuine curiosity, in which we seek to understand one another. We could get past these misrepresentations since all of the rhetorical grandstanding in the pages of this publication over the past years has accomplished little to nothing in loving our community and appreciating from where our neighbours are coming. In a new kind of conversation, we can be open to hearing all the good that has been done in spite of ourselves (all of that day-to-day goodness that isn’t sensational enough for the headlines.) Then we could encourage each other and learn about all of the awe-inspiring and selfsacrificing people of faith who are only motivated by love to live deep and rich spiritual lives. And, even then, there may be honest disagreement, but I will still be called by my faith in Christ to be loving to my neighbours. In fact, being loving with those with whom we disagree is the only way to overcome hatred, war and distrust and find the peace we so earnestly seek. Rev. Carolyn Ronald is a member of the United Church

CRTC to require cable and satellite companies to offer $25 package TERRY PEDWELL

THE CANADIAN PRESS

GATINEAU, Que. — Cable and satellite service providers will soon have to offer consumers an “entrylevel’’ television service, at a cost of no more than $25 a month. Canadian Radiotelevision and Telecommunications Commission released the new requirements yesterday (March 19), following its lengthy Let’s Talk TV hearings last fall. The new, trimmeddown basic packages must include local channels in each service area, as well as channels currently on the CRTC’s mandatory distribution list such as public interest, educational and legislature channels where they’re available. U.S.-based channels that are currently free over the air in most major Canadian markets near the border — so-called

4-plus-1 channels — will also be included. It’s the first time television service pricing has been regulated in Canada since 1999 and makes it the only jurisdiction in the industrialized world to require that TV distribution companies offer a basic selection of channels. The national broadcast regulator says the requirement to offer a trimmeddown basic package will take effect by March 2016. The CRTC says TV viewers will then be able to supplement the so-called “skinny basic’’ package with either individual channels available through a pick-and-pay model, or what it calls small, “reasonably-priced’’ bundled channel packages. But service providers will have until the end of next year to offer both a la carte channels and theme packages. Customers who are happy with their current

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW Here are five things you need to know about the CRTC’s decision yesterday to require service providers to offer so-called “skinny basic’’ TV packages: • The basic service, coming into effect a year from now, must include local channels in each market, education and legislature channels and at least four U.S.-based network channels. • The trimmed-down service will cost a maximum of $25 a month, but TV offerings won’t have to switch. “Canadians will have the choice of keeping their current television services without making any changes, if these continue to meet their needs and budgets,’’ the CRTC said in

Handlen headed to trial VICTORIA — The case of an Ontario man charged with firstdegree murder in the historic deaths of two young girls in B.C. will go directly to trial. Proceedings for 67-year-old Garry Handlen will be moved to B.C. Supreme Court from provincial court, meaning his case will

move forward without a preliminary inquiry. Handlen is scheduled to make a brief court appearance in a Vancouver courtroom today. He was arrested in Surrey, B.C., late last year and is accused of killing 11-year-old Kathryn-Mary Herbert in 1975 and 12-year-

old Monica Jack in 1978. Herbert disappeared in Abbotsford, and Jack was last seen in Merritt. Following a previous court appearance, mothers of Herbert and Jack wiped away tears as they left the courtroom. — The Canadian Press

could be reduced further by service providers. That doesn’t include taxes or the cost of a set-top box needed to receive the TV signals. • The cost of basic TV used to be regulated, with prices averaging between $18 and $19 a month, until prices were fully deregulated in 1999. • It’s not known how much consumers will save. Some critics warn that TV services could actually cost more, on a statement. CRTC chairman JeanPierre Blais said technology has changed Canada’s TV industry to the point that viewers are taking it upon themselves to choose what they want to watch, when they want to

average, if consumers have to pay higher prices for individual channels. Service providers also won’t have to offer a choice of either a la carte channels or bundles until December 2016. • CRTC chairman JeanPierre Blais acknowledges that many people will likely lose their jobs as a result of the changes as TV channels that are currently struggling to stay afloat go off the air. — The Canadian Press watch it. “Viewers are in control,’’ Blais said. “Today’s decision is not about making choices for Canadians,’’ he said. “Rather, it’s about setting out a road map to give all Canadians the freedom

to choose the television content that meets their unique needs, budgets and realities.’’ Under the new system, service providers will not have to offer free audio services, such as local radio stations, although they can include them if they want. The $25-a-month price won’t include the cost of renting or buying a cable or satellite set-top box. Nor will it include taxes. But, service providers could offer an even lower price. Rogers flirted with entry-level pricing when it test-marketed a digital basic package in the London, Ont., area from Nov. 2011 until Feb. 2012, at a cost of $19.99 a month. To make sure the big networks don’t shut out independent broadcasters from basic services, the CRTC also introduced a code of conduct for the industry yesterday.

WINTER WEATHER

Maritimes dig out after another massive snowfall KEITH DOUCETTE

THE CANADIAN PRESS

HALIFAX — Services in Atlantic Canada’s largest city operated at reduced levels yesterday, but Halifax Mayor Mike Savage says he’s confident work crews can dig the city out without declaring a state of emergency. The extra powers the city would get from declaring a state of emergency aren’t necessary and the municipality has taken additional steps to deal with more than 50 centimetres of snow that fell on Wednesday, March 18, he said. “State of emergency isn’t something that you enter into lightly, so we think we have the facility, we think we have the equipment, we think we have the people and we think we have the mechanisms in place to do what has to be done,’’ he told a news conference. The city banned all street parking indefinitely to help work crews clear the streets. Buses remained off the roads for most of the day because a buildup of heavy snow on a building where 60 per cent of Halifax Transit’s fleet is stored

made it unsafe to go inside. Service resumed yesterday afternoon but with a limited number of buses available. Across Nova Scotia, which was hit hardest by the storm, government offices delayed openings and military bases in Halifax were closed for the day. Canadian Forces Base Halifax offered free parking for city residents as snow removal efforts continued. The latest snowfall followed an earlier storm that saw more than 40 centimetres of snow blanket areas of the region. “Mother nature is testing the patience of Nova Scotians at this point,’’ said Premier Stephen McNeil. Nova Scotia Transportation Minister Geoff MacLellan said the province is on track to spend about $75 million on snow clearing this year, which would be $17 million over budget. The province has already spent $63 million this winter, which is $5 million more than it spent at the same time last year, he said. “These are things that have to be done,’’ MacLellan added.

“There’s no holding back on budgetary amounts when it comes to snow clearing and safety, so we’ll find the money for sure.’’ Environment Canada meteorologist Barrie MacKinnon said central Nova Scotia had the highest accumulations of snow, with Sydney, N.S., in Cape Breton also getting a significant amount at 24 centimetres. Southern New Brunswick and P.E.I. got 10 centimetres but high winds made it seem like blizzard conditions, he added. “Central Nova Scotia was the hot spot, the sweet spot for this storm,’’ MacKinnon said. “Most people know, once they are out there shovelling the driveway, they notice it was a lot of snow but it was pretty fluffy type stuff, so that’s why we got those high accumulations, too.’’ The city of Halifax’s chief administrative officer, Richard Butts, said the severe winter has also taken its toll on the money set aside for snow clearing, estimating the municipality will be $9 million to $10 million over budget by the time the season ends.

Mammograms Save Lives Research shows a 25 per cent reduction in breast cancer deaths among women who have regular mammograms in BC.

25% reduction in deaths

n his long wish list, Peter North had the name John Oates. In fact, during an interview with KTW last year, the then newly hired artistic director of the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival said Oates would be on a short list of dream performers he hoped to someday attract to the annual event. However, the reality of booking acts took over for this year’s festival, one that comes after the organization had financial challenges when the contract

with its main sponsor ended last year and the group found themselves with an operating shortfall. Recognizing the 50th anniversary of the creating of The Grateful Dead and the 20th anniversary of the death of its most wellknown member, Jerry Garcia, North decided to do a tribute to the San Francisco band — and that meant booking Brothers Keeper, a Colorado-based band that includes Mark Karan, a musician who replaced Garcia in an offshoot band from the Grateful Dead — The Other Ones. Yes, this all will go back to Oates and also show how sometimes it all comes down to luck and who you know. “I got a phone call from him,” North said

Mammograms are available for women ages 40 and over. Book your appointment today by calling:

of Karan “and he says to me ‘I forgot to tell you we’re John Oates’ band. “Would you like him, too?’ “It was serendipitous. John is such a nice gift out of the blue.” Another name on that wish list was Marty Stuart, a performer North was determined to sign up. “One of the things I’ve learned living here is you cannot ignore the Americana country roots in this part of the country,” North said — and Stuart will also be taking the stage when the festival happens in mid-August. North is delighted with the lineup announced to date but notes there are at least another 20 acts yet to be announced, along W A R T S

with one more headliner. Prompted to list some of the performers he’s most excited to bring to the festival and that list is also long. • Canned Heat: “You just can’t go wrong with those songs and they’re also celebrating 50 years. “I saw them in the fall and there are a bunch of the original members back in the band.” • The Royal Southern Brotherhood: “It’s got Cyril Neville and Devon Allman [son of Greg Allman] so there’s knitted-in name recognition. “And Neville fits in with the Grateful Dead because the Neville Brothers used to tour with the Dead a lot.”

North said there will be two stages in operation at the beginning of the Saturday, Aug. 15, and Sunday, Aug. 16, schedule, rather than the usual five, a concession to another reality that came to him during his first visit to the festival last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people who come donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be up and going first thing in the morning,â&#x20AC;?

crowds at each, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s split them between two stages. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also fiscally better.â&#x20AC;? Ninety minutes after those two kick-off stages start, another stage will be brought online so â&#x20AC;&#x153;by the time 2:30 p.m. rolls around, the whole place will be lit up,â&#x20AC;? North said. Tickets can be bought in a variety of packages from singleday to weekend passes. The festival is also looking for more volunteers.

FINANCIAL MATTERS Saving And Managing Money

GET AHEAD OF YOUR DEBT – EVEN THE GOOD KIND

off your debt. Keep in mind that some credit card companies allow you to negotiate rates as well. Be sure to balance the right features with low rates.

LEARN FIVE TIPS THAT CAN HELP YOU BECOME DEBT-FREE SOONER.

DEBT SUCCESS TIP #4: CREATE A WRITTEN BUDGET TO MANAGE SPENDING.

Debt seems to follow us through our lives. From our first student loans to mortgages, credit cards, lines of credit and car loans, it feels as if there are an endless number of debts to pay off. And an increasing number of Canadians are becoming more comfortable with taking on debt. A recent survey shows many homeowners see debt freedom as an important long-term goal but, despite that, more people aim to “manage” debt than to become debt-free in their immediate plans.

It’s helpful to understand how you spend your money. Is there a spending habit you could cut back on to help address your debt? Are there opportunities to save more? Just writing down your expenses – it can be as simple as a list in a spreadsheet – is an excellent exercise that can help you track where you spend your money and where it could be better used.

Even the question of what qualifies as debt is in flux. Almost half of Canadian homeowners would consider themselves “debt-free” even if they were still paying off a mortgage. They’ve become so comfortable with this kind of debt that it’s become more of a regular “cost of living” expense.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR FINANCIAL PLANNING? LET’S START BY LOOKING AT TWO MAIN KINDS OF DEBT. BAD DEBT – THE KIND THAT WEIGHS YOU DOWN A credit card balance that carries over from month to month is bad debt. Often called “consumer debt,” it accumulates to pay for goods or services that don’t increase in value, such as a car or that new pair of shoes. Most bad debt carries a high rate of interest, and the payments are often not sustainable – so the trick here is to live within your means. Payday loans and cash advance loans count too, with added fees and high interest rates.

GOOD DEBT – THE KIND THAT GIVES BACK The idea behind good debt is that it builds value. With a mortgage, you’re paying into a debt that you could recoup later when you sell your home. With a student loan, you’re investing in your education, which could make you a more valuable employee and increase your earning potential. These are both examples of good debt. Good debt could also be low-interest loans or lines of credit, or debts you pay off regularly each month, with payments that are sustainable over a long period of time. Effectively managing both good debt and bad debt is essential to a successful financial plan. For many of us, paying down our highinterest, unsustainable debt is a top goal for becoming debt-free – and that’s a good place to start. But ask yourself, could you go one step further and achieve debt freedom earlier by tackling your remaining debt faster?

DEBT SUCCESS TIP #5: CREATE A DEBT REPAYMENT PLAN AND REVIEW IT REGULARLY. Take that budget one step further and create a concrete plan to pay down your debt. This plan is more specific, outlining both where your money goes and how and when you’re going to pay down your debt. Think ahead about timing by planning contributions or payments around paycheques, bonuses and tax refunds. Take into consideration other goals as well: retirement, vacations, emergency funds, etc. Above all, remember that it’s never too late to get started. Your advisor can help you discover which strategies may work best for you to create and manage a repayment plan that fits with your goals. D.W. Page Wealth Management.

WHAT DEBT-FREE HOMEOWNERS SAY

Money Management Principles

When asked for their secrets to debt success, debt-free homeowners polled in the survey1 had this to say:

and a complete

DEBT SUCCESS TIP #1: PAY CREDIT CARD BALANCES IN FULL, OR MAKE MORE THAN THE MINIMUM PAYMENT. This one’s pretty simple: focus on paying down your balance on your high-interest credit cards to avoid paying more than you need to in interest. Pay your balance in full or, if that’s not possible, try to cover as much as you can.

DEBT SUCCESS TIP #2: MAKE EXTRA PAYMENTS ON DEBTS WHEN POSSIBLE. Some debts will allow you to pay more than your scheduled payment, or even pay in full, without penalties. Others may not be so openended. Look for alternatives to less flexible expenses. For example, if you’re buying a car, you might consider using a line of credit that gives you more flexibility than a more structured car loan. Lines of credit often have lower rates, too, which could allow for more efficient debt repayment.

DEBT SUCCESS TIP #3: BALANCE LOW INTEREST RATES WITH FLEXIBILITY. It never hurts to find a low interest rate. But the lowest rate isn’t the “be all and end all” of debt management. Sometimes, the best rates come with penalties or obligations that could actually make it harder to pay

Will book tarnish beloved Mockingbird?

hen the stunning news arrived last month that Harper Lee would publish her second novel â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 55 years after publishing one of the greatest novels of the 20th century â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I was smack in the middle of reading a biography of the writer. Actually, I was reading Charles J. Shieldsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Mockingbird: A Portrait of Harper Lee while sitting next to my son, Atticus, the very moment news of Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new book came across the television. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d call that serendipity squared. Of course, my sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name comes from Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s To Kill A Mockingbird, a novel that carved me to the core when I read it at age 14, vowing as I finished the final page that my firstborn son would carry the name of the great Atticus Finch. Eighteen years later, the name given by Lee to one of literatureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest characters was borrowed by me and bestowed upon one of the greatest boys on earth. News of Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new novel has elicited a mixed response. Some fans of To Kill A Mockingbird are excited to read

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

Newsroom

MUSINGS something â&#x20AC;&#x201D; anything â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by the person who created Scout, Jem and Dill. But, there have been a number of stories that suggest an aging Lee has been coerced by her attorney and others to publish a manuscript that has been gathering dust since Dwight Eisenhower was president. Lee is 88 and lives in a nursing home in Monroeville, Ala., the town in which she grew up and in which Maycomb, Ala. (the town in her Pulitzer Prize-winning novel) was based. Lee suffered a stroke in 2007 and is widely reported to be blind and near-deaf. Her fiercest protector for decades after To Kill a

Mockingbird was published was her older sister, Alice, who kept nosy journalists and others from getting too close. Alice died in November at the age of 103 and wrote in 2011: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Harper canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear and will sign anything put before her by anyone in whom she has confidence.â&#x20AC;? Aside from a few magazine articles (and at least one that was rejected post-Pulitzer Prize), Lee never published again after To Kill a Mockingbird, though the biography does note she had been working on a second book before eventually abandoning it. That book, apparently, was NOT the book to be released this July, Go Set A Watchman, which was written before To Kill A Mockingbird and features Scout, Jem and Dill as adults looking back at their childhood. What is known is that Lee had, until now, no desire to publish anything she had written since her famous novel. The controversy surrounding the impending release of Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new book (if something written in the 1950s can be considered â&#x20AC;&#x153;newâ&#x20AC;?) is similar to the battle between the estate of author J.D. Salinger and the Devault-Graves

Agency of Memphis. Last year, Devault-Graves won the right to release in the U.S. Three Early Stories, a trio of short stories by Salinger, including one that features characters from his seminal book, Catcher in the Rye. This week, the J.D. Salinger Trust is in court, fighting to stop Devault-Graves from publishing the collection internationally. While Salinger was a famous recluse who refused to publish much of anything after Catcher, it is believed he did have a substantial amount of writing completed by the time he died in 2010 at age 91. In fact, according to Salinger, a biography of and documentary on the writer, five Salinger books are slated to be released between 2015 and 2020, according to the authorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s orders, stated before his death. If you are a fan of To Kill a Mockingbird and Catcher in the Rye, you might understand the conflicting emotions that come with news of another book, to be published so many years after it was written. Three of my favourite books of all time were read in my teenage years: To Kill a Mockingbird, Catcher in the Rye and The Great

While part of me wants to read the â&#x20AC;&#x153;newâ&#x20AC;? books, I know doing so could forever taint the books that sliced a literary scar into my soul decades ago â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially if the authors of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;newâ&#x20AC;? books are or were less than eager to have them published. Rather than risk the disappointment, perhaps now is the time to read again the masterpieces.

PLAYING THE PART IN STRATFORD JAMIE ROSS PHOTO

TRAVEL WRITERSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; TALES

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

Why do I always get talked into these things?â&#x20AC;? We are at the end of won a wonderful tour of St the Stratford Festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s costum and props costume wareh warehouse, the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s larges performing largest ar arts archive, when we af are afforded a chance to try on some of the stagestage-worn costumes. Ih had hoped for Macb Macbeth, Hamlet Lea but, instead, or Lear co am coerced into dressi up as some dressing Scand Scandinavian opera singer in gown, singer, horne horned-helmet and golden pigtails, while the rest of the group giggles and snaps photos that I know will not be flattering. I had hoped for a Shakespearean leading man, but was rather playing the fool.

Stratford Festival

Still, it has been an enlightening behindthe-scenes look at how the costumes and sets are painstakingly put together here in Stratford, the vibrant Ontario town which hosts Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest Shakespearean festival â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an annual celebration of the Bardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plays that is about to enter its 63rd year. I had taken my wife and folks to the Stratford festival on a summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weekend to enjoy Colm Feoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brilliant performance as King Lear. It was my wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first visit to this beautiful and quaint town.

Stratford is home to a renowned theatre scene, self-guided food trails â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Justin Bieber.

The last time I had attended was to see Maggie Smith play the role of Lady Macbeth, and I guess that dates me â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but more so my parents, who reminisce about the beginning of the Stratford festival, when they had attended performances under the big tent, before the theatres were even built. The fact it shares the same name as the birthplace of William Shakespeare, Stratfordupon-Avon in England, inspired local journalist Tom Patterson to found a Shakespearean theatre festival in 1952. Despite its humble inception, several decades after the first inaugural performance of Richard III, the festival has grown into a revered national institution. The theatre company now puts on 12 plays a season and is the centre of a thriving tourism scene in this town of 32,000. More importantly,

many of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brightest performers have graced the Stratford stage and had their start here. Stratford boasts the small-town life with the kind of world-class entertainment and cuisine that big cities dream of. Of course, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more to do in Stratford than theatre. The municipalityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support for the arts has fostered a strong, creative community that makes the region a great destination for lovers of theatre, music, art and food.

Savour Stratford

Speaking of food, an easy way to sample the local specialties is by trying one of Stratfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three different specialty-themed Tasting Trails; self-guided tours that are a fun way to explore the community. The Chocolate Trail, Maple Trail and Bacon and Ale Trail each allow six delectable tastings

at various downtown shops and restaurants. I favour the beer, while my wife is all about chocolate. Unable to compromise, we pick up a $25 trail pass for each trail, and then head out for a true taste of Stratford. If you are looking for a wonderful dining experience at a very reasonable cost, the Stratford Chefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School is a non-profit culinary institution where students obtain a thorough grounding in the business of operating successful restaurants. At the Bijou restaurant or The Prune, guests enjoy a three- to six-course lunch or dinner for as little as $30, as the student chefs create their own menus. Professional culinary chefs, many

who got their start at the school, work their magic at many of Stratfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s splendid dining establishments. No visit to Stratford is complete without a stop at Monforte Dairy, where owner Ruth Klahsen shares her passion for crafting tasty artisanal cheeses out of four â&#x20AC;&#x153;dairy streams,â&#x20AC;? cow, goat, sheep and water buffalo. We visit her at the Sunday morning Slow Food Market and take home a good supply of her excellent cheese selection. Stratford is a lovely and tranquil town with plenty of unique, eclectic shops and restaurants. Add to that the scenic Avon with its beloved swans, the intellectual theatre culture and the food and music festivals and you have a wonderful getaway, just a short drive from Toronto. It is the perfect weekend escape, whether you come for the shopping, the food or the theatre, or because it is the hometown of another Canadian personality, Justin Bieber, who got his start busking on the steps of the Avon Theatre.

Stan was predeceased by his father Thomas Ismay Fell (1960) and his mother Wanda Connor (nee: Fell, nee: Cullen (2005). Stan was born in Oliver, BC on December 12, 1947. He spent most of his life in Kamloops, BC where he raised his family before returning to the lower mainland. Stan worked for The Province of British Columbia’s Correctional Services. Stan was always an active golfer, skier and ball player. He enjoyed snowmobiling, hunting, fishing, singing and making people laugh. He was always the life of the party. Stan was most proud of his children and grandchildren. Stan will always be remembered for his laughter, honestly, hard work, dedications, love for his family and “The Love Of The Game”. Forever in our hearts, memories and beyond! A special thanks to the doctors and nursing staff at CGH’s ER dept and 3rd floor medical unit.

WORD SCRAMBLE

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ANSWER 1: CHOCOLATE ANSWER 2: BUNNIES
