KAMLOOPS BLAZERS’ MAJORITY OWNER TOM GAGLARDI REFLECTS ON THE SEASON

MUNICIPAL AUDITOR FIRED

Mibroc no longer with Sun Rivers

TOM FLETCHER BLACK PRESS tfletcher@blackpress.ca

The B.C. government has fired its auditor general for local government (AGLG) after accountant Basia Ruta “lost all confidence” of her supervisors to complete audits that compare local government spending practices. “The auditor general for local government’s obstruction of an intended review of her office has created an intolerable situation that compounds the unstable work environment and lack of performance from that office,” said Community Minister Coralee Oakes, who took the action on the recommendation of the government-appointed audit council. Former deputy minister Chris Trumpy was due to start his own review of the new office yesterday (March 23). It is the first attempt in Canada to do performance audits by comparing groups of municipalities, but the performance of Ruta’s office has become the pressing issue. Oakes said Ruta will not be offered severance pay because the governBASIA ment has determined she has been RUTA fired for cause. The work environment in the Surrey office of the AGLG had deteriorated and Ruta’s decision to refuse Trumpy’s involvement led to the decision, Oakes said. Hired to execute an idea proposed by Premier Christy Clark in her 2012 bid for the B.C. Liberal Party leadership, Ruta set herself a target of 18 audits in the first year. Clashes with the staff at her Surrey office and the audit council began to emerge last year. NDP local government critic Selina Robinson said the two-year-old office has lost credibility over spending $5.2 million over two years to produce only one audit. Two more reports were issued last week. The function should be included in the existing B.C. Auditor General office, which is an independent office of the legislature, Robinson said. Oakes said she remains committed to the current structure, which had envisioned three audits in the first year and five in the second, noting it was Ruta who raised expectations far beyond that and then didn’t deliver,

Sun Rivers is parting ways with a local developer who designed and constructed three apartment buildings at the heart of the village. Leslie Brochu, vicepresident of marketing for Sun Rivers, said Mibroc Group is no longer expected to be involved with the Talasa development or the larger village. She declined to detail reasons for the end to Mibroc’s involvement in the project, other than to say it appears the local builder is expanding into the Calgary market. Mibroc owner Darryl Caunt did not return phone calls seeking comment. The local firm under the moniker of Cambri Development designed and constructed the first three condominium buildings on the land leased by the federal government through Tk’emlups Indian Band. Two of the buildings were marketed and sold

just before the onset of the Great Recession in 2008. The third was constructed afterward and occupied in 2011. While Mibroc is not expected to be part of subsequent phases of the village centre, Brochu said Sun Rivers is courting other developers to design, build and construct the next phases, particularly its commercial-residential centre at the core of the village. That centre is slated to feature a hotel and residential and commercial space, including a potential grocer and pub. The hotel is expected to house between 200 to 400 rooms. “We’re actively involved with a developer right now,” Brochu said. Brochu said Sun Rivers is not forecasting timelines, noting it will be the decision of the new developer who wants to take on the latest phase. See MIBROC, A6

Variable speed zones on the way CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Variable speed zones will be in place on a section of the Coquihalla Highway, and on two other major routes, by next winter. Transportation Minister Todd Stone spoke on Friday, March 20, to a meeting of the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce, outlining the province’s new 10-year transportation plan. Stone told reporters three pilot areas — west of Revelstoke, around the Coquihalla Highway’s snowshed and at a location on

the Sea to Sky Highway between Vancouver and Whistler — will be operational with variable speed limits in time for next winter. Signs and sensors in the road will be tied to the ministry’s traffic-management centre in Coquitlam to provide a variable maximum speed for motorists during snow or heavy rains, for example. “The 120-km/h speed limit in the case of the Coquihalla might not be appropriate based on a big dump of snow,� Stone said. “In a matter of minutes, we’ll be able to dial that speed limit down.�

The project will cost about $24 million for all three locations. Each section is about 10 to 12 kilometres in length. Stone said the technology is used in other jurisdictions, particularly in Europe. “It’s proven to reduce collisions and save lives,� he said. Earlier on Friday, Stone announced $125,000 to install LED signs and special markings on Highway 97 at Monte Creek intended to make the route safer. The signs will be vehicle-activated to tell drivers when they are entering turns too fast. The transportation plan pledg-

es spending another $650 million on four-laning the Trans-Canada Highway east of the city. That will include four lanes from Kamloops through to Jade Mountain on the east side of Chase, as well as upgrading sections of the national highway around Salmon Arm and between Revelstoke and Golden. Passing lanes will also be added on Highway 5 North, north of Kamloops. The plan also focuses on rebuilding infrastructure, including bridges, as well as improving surfaces on rural byways and side roads. There is also funding for airport investment.

Survey says — TRU faculty less than satisfied DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

More than threequarters of Thompson Rivers University faculty who took part in a provincial survey on governance do not feel their input is taken seriously. Almost twothirds of the 169 who responded feel they are not informed in a timely manner about changes that affect them. Only 16 per cent agree TRU president Alan Shaver “leads the institution in a good

direction,” with another 31 per cent indicating they neither agree nor disagree. Forty-two per cent would not recommend the university to others, with only 29 per cent indicating they would. The rest had no opinion either way. The survey was conducted by the Federation of PostSecondary Educators in B.C. Tom Friedman, president of the TRU Faculty Association, said the findings do not surprise him, noting he has heard simi-

lar viewpoints over a six-month period after taking on the union’s head job on campus. Freidman said he tried to share those concerns in an open letter he sent to board of governors chairman Brian Ross that there are problems with governance on campus. While good governance at TRU would foster collaboration and collegiality, Friedman said, “there doesn’t appear to be any — or in a limited sense, perhaps.” The October letter Friedman sent cited an atmosphere of mis-

trust at TRU, calling Shaver an absentee leader who has helped fuel an atmosphere of suspicion and cynicism within faculty ranks. In recent months, Friedman said, Shaver has been making “a good effort.” But, Freidman attributed some of the large percentages of no opinion — particularly the 31 per cent with no viewpoint on Shaver’s leadership strengths — as resulting from a lack of understanding what Shaver’s role is at the university. The results of

the survey support responses TRU journalism assistant professor Shawn Thompson received in a campus-wide survey on release of documentation gathered during last year’s review of Shaver’s performance. That review led to Shaver’s contract being extended. Thompson said 90.9 per cent of the 154 staff and faculty who responded want the information released, 7.79 per cent said they did not want the data released and 1.29 per cent were undecided.

Thompson has sent the results of his survey, including comments received, to the board, which has put it on its Friday, Nov. 27 agenda.

Day-scholar lawsuit arguments begin April 13 CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Four elders from the Tk’emlups Indian Band (TIB) will accompany Chief Shane Gottfriedson and band councillors to Vancouver next month when lawyers begin arguing to certify a class-action lawsuit on behalf of thousands of First Nations students who attended residential schools. Gottfriedson told reporters at a press conference on Friday, March 20, that local corporations and others have donated to a special fund to allow the elders — day

scholars themselves — to be in Vancouver to hear arguments in Federal Court for one week starting on April 13. While First Nations people who lived at Indian residential schools were given compensation by the federal government, Ottawa has refused to compensate those who attended the schools only during the day. Gottfriedson said those students suffered many of the same sexual, physical and emotional abuses as those who lived in dormitories. “It’s having an effect on their lives,” he said.

I just got my tax refund Great, let’s invest it

TIB and Sechelt bands have partnered on the lawsuit, seeking to certify it as a class-action so every day scholar in Canada will be compensated if the lawsuit is successful. In 2008, Ottawa provided compensation for residential school students — $10,000 for the first year in a residential school, followed by $3,000 a year thereafter. Money was also paid for commemorative activities and a truth and reconciliation commission. Only those who suffered specific abuses or lived in dormitories were covered.

Mounties seek armed robber Kamloops Mounties are searching for a masked thief after a Sahali convenience store was held up at knifepoint on the weekend. RCMP Sgt. Joe Morrissey said police were called to the Esso gas station on Columbia Street and McGill Road at about 11:30 a.m. on Saturday after a store employee tripped a robbery alarm.

“A lone male suspect entered the store, produced a knife and grabbed the clerk,” he said. “He demanded cash and cigarettes.” Morrissey said the crook made off with an undisclosed amount of cash and smokes. A police-dog unit was unsuccessful in tracking the robber, but did locate a knife not far from the store.

Morrissey said the suspect is described as a man standing fivefoot-10 and weighing about 200 pounds. He was wearing a camouflage ski mask over his face and a grey hoodie with dark pants. The Esso clerk was not injured. Anyone with information is asked to call police at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Mibroc still involved in lawsuit From A1

Sun Rivers under owner Georg Schurian began development with a master plan in 1996. It anticipated building between 1,800 and 2,000 units on leased land. Today, Brochu said, there are about 750 units, a number expected to grow incrementally with single-family housing and more substantially as higher-density units are developed at the village core.

While Mibroc is not expected to be involved with future phases, it has sued a Vancouver consulting firm over the project. Cambri/Talasa, a partnership created in 2008 for the purpose of building condos at Sun Rivers, filed a series of three lawsuits in B.C. Supreme Court against MDC Moores Development and its principal, Stefan Moores. Last year, B.C. Supreme Court dismissed two of the three lawsuits without costs. A third suit, representing the first building,

remains active. A notice of civil claim states the partnership expected MDC Moores to add expertise in everything from master planning, overseeing sales and marketing and arranging debt and equity financing. MDC and Moores filed a statement of defence, saying it was never contracted and that any losses on the project were “caused by external market forces which were beyond the control of either Moores or MDC Corp.”

Lake, Libs mum on Abbott affair FORMER MLA’S APPOINTMENT KILLED BY CABINET; NO REASON GIVEN CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops-North Thompson MLA and Health Minister Terry Lake said he was surprised that George Abbott had his appointment as B.C.’s next treaty commissioner quashed. Lake backed Abbott, a former Shuswap MLA and cabinet minister, in the 2011 Liberal leadership contest won by Christy Clark, who became B.C.’s premier after Gordon Campbell left office. Abbott was slated to become B.C.’s newest treaty commissioner, but that offer was pulled at the last minute by the province after the B.C. Liberal cabinet did not offer its support. Citing cabinet confidentiality, Lake declined to say how the decision was

made to veto Abbott’s appointment, which was already agreed upon by the federal government and First Nations. “I understand he was being considered,” Lake said. “I haven’t been an intimate part of those discussions. That surprised me.” That decision also drew the ire of the current commissioner, Sophie Pierre. “It is very important to me that there be a smooth transition between chief commissioners,” Pierre said in a release. “I was confident in the decision that the principals had made, which was also supported by resolution of the chiefs at the First Nations Summit. “George Abbott is a man of integrity, intelligence and extensive experience who would have benefited the treaty process, First Nations, and all British

Columbians,” she said. “I stayed on for another three years to give the principals the opportunity to make this important tripartite appointment and to pull this away at the 11th hour questions the commitment of B.C. This is not how to effect reconciliation. NDP Leader John Horgan called on Clark and the Liberal cabinet to reverse its veto of Abbott. Horgan supported Abbott’s appointment, saying the former aboriginal affairs minister has demonstrated the ability to bring people together. Lake agreed, saying in an interview Abbott “brings people together.” “The premier failed to demonstrate any form of leadership by not ensuring Mr. Abbott’s appointment was confirmed by cabinet,” Horgan said in a statement.

B.C. LIBS NEED TO EXPLAIN TO VOTERS

T

here are few politicians in B.C. who were as respected as George Abbott. The former Liberal MLA was held in high esteem by even his opponents when he represented the Shuswap riding for eight years, a tenure that included stints as minister of education and minister of community, aboriginal and women’s services. His work in crafting the province’s Community Charter with the latter ministry led Abbott to be awarded a lifetime membership in the Union of B.C. Municipalities. It made sense when the federal government and the First Nations Summit endorsed Abbott as the next chief commissioner with the B.C. Treaty Commission. It was assumed to be a formality when securing final approval — that of the provincial government. After all, Abbott was recruited by Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation Minister John Rustad. Yet, bizarrely, an appointment that made so much sense to any right-thinking person was derailed when the B.C. Liberal cabinet decided, just days before Abbott was to step into the role, against approving the posting. Abbott has told the media he was informed his appointment did not garner cabinet approval. He added he had asked why cabinet decided against the posting, but was told cabinet confidentiality precluded offering reasons why. The decision has been condemned by virtually everyone — the current chief commissioner, the First Nations Summit and the NDP among them. Kamloops has two MLAs who sit around that cabinet table — Transportation Minister Todd Stone and Health Minister Terry Lake. Lake has told KTW he was surprised Abbott’s appointment was quashed. Lake, echoing his government, cited cabinet confidentiality in refusing to say how the decision was made. The B.C. Liberal government is hiding behind cabinet confidentiality when it should be telling the public why a man of Abbott’s reputation is not good enough to lead the way in trying to solve the issue of treaties in the province.

About that Ajax mine . . .

W

hile we sometimes differ in the tone we adopt in our community work, I truly appreciate my council colleague Donovan Cavers’ passion for representing his core beliefs. A regularly repeating conversation I have with Donovan goes something like this: Donovan: Are you going to (insert name of anti-Ajax mine event here)? Me: No, I think I will pass this time. Donovan: Just picture it, Arjun. You come to the event and announce that, for the sake of the our community health and the environment, after much consideration, you have decided to come out against the mine. (He makes this kind of sound like I would be riding in on a white steed) Me: Donovan, I have said all along that I am waiting to assess Ajax’s environmental-assessment application before taking a position. Donovan: OK, but, just in case, here is the date, time and address of (again insert name of the antiAjax event). And, if you need a buddy to carpool with or take the bus with or cycle with, just let me know. I can’t even tell you how many time I’ve had some variant of this conversation with Donovan over the last four years — and I always appreciate it. Donovan definitely represents a large group of citizens in Kamloops, a group that is important to hear from.

View From

CITY HALL And, as you may have already surmised, I also represent a group of citizens who are undecided or who are open to changing their position on KGHM International’s proposed copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen. I feel a great responsibility to review Ajax’s environmental application in an extremely thorough and thoughtful fashion. This will be a great challenge. I understand the application will contains tens of thousands of pages and will be quite technical. I strongly support public comments advocating KGHM International create a summary document written in plain, everyday English. This document, in my opinion, would have two main purposes. First, it would provide citizens with a broad overview of all the proposed activities and all the proposed measures to address health, environmental and social impacts. Second, it would provide easy reference to more details on each section in the detailed application.

In my own analysis, I will also be looking at the commitments KGHM International has made, the risk that it might not be able to keep to its commitments and its plans for emergency response. I have started to think about what crowdsourcing the review of the Ajax application might look like. Could we gather enough undecided citizens with an interest and aptitude to review certain sections of the application so this onerous and huge task could be shared? Would some common set of review criteria need to be established? How would we earn public trust in our efforts? I am no professional academic. These are just some of my questions and thoughts. I would love feedback and, if you might be interested in joining a review group of undecided Kamloopsians, feel free to let me know. The Ajax environmentalassessment process has a very high bar to hit in order to secure my support. In most of the meetings hosted by KGHM I have attended, the company talks about “zero harm.” I would agree and look forward to seeing how the company proposes to meet this very tough goal.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

KEEP IHA LAUNDRY JOBS IN KAMLOOPS Editor: The Royal Inland Hospital laundry department plays a critical role in delivering good health care. The Interior Health Authority is considering contracting out laundry services at RIH and 10 other sites throughout the region, including Kelowna, Vernon, 100 Mile House and Nelson. The result would be the loss of up to 175 decent, family-supporting jobs in these communities. The laundry department at the Kamloops hospital not only does RIH laundry, but also takes care of surrounding areas. The workers in this department deliver this service in an efficient way (and IHA has clearly said efficiency is not the issue) and work closely with other departments, which depend on their skills and in-house service. They clean and sterilize linens, including bedding, towels, scrubs and hospital gowns. They are used in surgical suites, specialcare nurseries, maternity wards, ICU and

emergency rooms. They are able to put in extra loads as needed during an outbreak and they will find your wallet or teeth if accidentally left behind. All this will be lost if we lose our in-house

laundry department. Instead, RIH and the community will be dependent on laundry being trucked to either the Lower Mainland or Alberta and coming back in the same truck the dirty, infected laundry was delivered. Never mind the possible delays in delivery

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online

during winter months. The entire hospital relies on our laundry workers to deliver this quality service in order to provide patient care. Without sterile linens, surgeries will be cancelled, emergency rooms will get backlogged and wait lists will increase. It seems Minister of Health Terry Lake does not understand the circle of health care — at least not during question period in the legislature. The hospital laundry service is run efficiently and I cannot understand the lack of common sense behind the decision to take away decent, community-based jobs. Where will a community be without these jobs and without the buying power these jobs bring to the economy? The more that is contracted out, the more a community as a whole loses.

CAN TROPHY HUNTING BE CONSIDERED ETHICAL? Editor: I live in Montreal and was listening to an interview recently on CBC Radio with B.C. Conservative Party Leader and Kamloops resident Dan Brooks. Brooks described his experience of hunting moose with his daughter. Perhaps the rules about hunting moose are different in B.C. or perhaps there is a need for culling. However, I cannot express how irate and disillusioned I was to hear his story about his daughter’s slaughter of a moose. I could not believe how he

described the look on his 11-yearold daughter’s face “one of ecstasy, excited, thrilled� after having just shot a defenceless animal not once, but twice. Brooks spoke of how they ran, excited to see it. What kind of sadistic pleasure can one get from a dying animal? He described the experience as “amazing.� That someone would be so proud and moved by this experience is beyond belief. A majestic living animal was killed by an 11-yearold and her face was in ecstasy.

What kind of children do we want to bring up and educate? I do appreciate that Brooks wanted to spend time bonding with his daughter, but is there not a better way rather than a slaughter? How about volunteering for an animal shelter, for instance? I cannot tell you how upsetting this interview was to me. I hope Brooks does some personal reflection about how to raise children with compassion and to foster “living� rather than “killing�. Andy Malolepszy Montreal

Eco-friendly trips to the loo at TRU DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

On average, every person who uses the washroom at Thompson Rivers University requires 2.5 paper towels to dry their hands at a cost of two cents. It’s not a big budgetary item at just $25 for every 1,000 visits, but switching to electric air dryers will reduce the cost to 1.25 cents — and go a long way toward environmental responsibility and sustainability, said the TRU official charged with those tasks, Jim Gudjonson. It also means eliminating the receptacles that hold the used towels which, in turn, means one less job for the janitorial staff who have had to empty them on a regular basis. And, with more than 100 bathrooms on campus used by more than 10,000 staff and employees, “it’s a lot of paper towels,� Gudjonson said. The environment club estimated in the Old Main building alone, 54 rolls of paper towels were used every week and janitors spent four hours a day at $15 per hour on paper towel-related cleaning. Thirty towel dispensers on average

TRU is replacing paper towel despensers with electric air dryers (above) and adding foot pulls to some doors (left).

have to be replaced every year at a cost of $19.70 each. It’s a first step in a program that was triggered by the environment club on campus, which received a grant from the university for what it called the Green Hands Project, one that would eliminate or reduce the use of paper in restrooms, reduce the environmental impact from paper waste and free up funds that can be applied in other areas. Other adaptations being made include removing bathroom

entrance doors or reversing them to swing out wherever possible. For those that can’t be changed, foot pulls are being installed on doors. Hand-sanitizer bottles will be installed near washrooms, but there’s also an education campaign underway to teach the university community the proper way to wash their hands, a process that involves soap, water, 20 seconds of scrubbing and then complete rinsing. Following this removes virtually all

bacteria, Gudjonson said, and allays concerns of air dryers simply blowing bacteria throughout the rooms. There have been some complaints about the noise level of the dryers, he said. The noise is about 80 decibels, about the same level as heavy city traffic. Gudjonson said adapters are being bought to bring the level down to that of a normal conversation. With the changes made so far, including recycling bins throughout campus buildings, the university has reduced its regular landfill waste by 60 per cent, Gudjonson said. In the next couple of years, the plan is to install touchless toilets and faucets, as well.

University warns of software bug Thompson Rivers University students are being asked to review their financial records and bank transactions after a software bug was identified in a campus online portal. An email notice to students said the bug was part of the portal from October 2012 to March 16, 2015. It only became active if two students went online and reset their account passwords at exactly the same time, which could have allowed one of them to gain “one-time access to the other’s portal. That access ended once they terminated their session in the browser or logged off.� Vice-president advancement Christopher

Seguin said it was unlikely many people would have been affected by it, but added it was important for all students to be aware of the software glitch. The university has advised the provinial Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner, disabled the automatic password-reset feature — which will remain offline until the software vendor has repaired the bug. The university is working on a new method of authentication for the portal and other online systems. The email noted the software vendor will release a new portal in 2016, at which time the university will be moving to it.

Ancient site sheds light on Alberta’s first inhabitants A new way of dating ancient bones and stone tools is shedding light on the lives of some of the first Albertans.

Brian Kooyman of the University of Calgary is coauthor of a paper that says a prehistoric site where people hunted horses and

camels in what is now southern Alberta is older than previously thought. That means the 13,000year-old bones, along with

the stone choppers and knives used to butcher them, pre-date the first identifiable ancient culture in the New World.

Kooyman said the site is unique because of the number of animals and tools all found together. The spot is normally

submerged in the reservoir of the St. Mary River and only surfaces when water levels are very low. — The Canadian Press

Calgary-born ‘Canadian Ted’ U.S. highway crash runs for U.S. president after kills Canadian soldier and family renouncing dual citizenship THE CANADIAN PRESS

LEE-ANN GOODMAN

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Ted Cruz’s announcement that he’s running for president has renewed questions about his Calgary birthplace and whether the Texas senator’s Canadian roots leave him ineligible to make a bid for the Oval Office. They don’t, American constitutional scholars say, because Cruz’s mother was a U.S. citizen when he was born. His Cuban father became a citizen in 2005. The fact that Cruz’s mother is Delaware-born satisfies the U.S. constitution’s requirement that a president must be a “naturalborn U.S. citizen,’’ experts agree. Last spring, Cruz — dubbed “Canadian Ted’’ by some of his political foes in Texas — formally gave up his Canadian citizenship. Nonetheless, the questions about Cruz’s legitimacy are rich with irony, since the senator’s own father — Rafael, who appears at public events regularly on behalf of his son — once raised doubts about Barack Obama’s birthplace. In 2012, the pastor argued Obama should be sent “back to Kenya.’’ Obama was born in Hawaii to an American mother and Kenyan father, but those in Cruz’s Tea Party base have long believed the U.S. president was actually born in Kenya. Cruz’s years in politics have also shown him to be, essentially, an anti-immigration

U.S. SEN. TED CRUZ: Renounced Canadian citizenship

immigrant. Recently, he’s been a fierce opponent to Obama’s plans to give amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants. He once railed against socalled anchor babies — children born to illegal immigrants in the U.S., making them U.S. citizens, ostensibly to help avoid deportation — while claiming he didn’t know that being born in Calgary 44 years ago made him Canadian. Cruz explained it this way: “When I was a kid, my mom told me that if I ever wanted to, I could affirmatively choose to claim Canadian citizenship, but I got a U.S. passport when I was in high school, I never did anything to affirmatively claim citizenship, so I thought that was the end of the matter.’’ In an interview on CNN two years ago, Cruz said he didn’t know he was a Canadian until the Dallas Morning News reported in the summer of 2013 that he had dual citizenship.

For that, media wags in his home state dubbed him a Canadian anchor baby. CNN’s Candy Crowley, meantime, argued Cruz’s Canadian citizenship was pretty much the most interesting thing about him. Following Cruz’s official announcement yesterday (March 23) of his run for president, some news organizations wondered what all the fuss was about regarding his birthplace. The New Republic argued that if Cruz’s political foes try to attack him for his Calgary roots, Cruz has a ready retort. “Calgary is a fair approximation of a Red State American city, a frigid Dallas,’’ Jeet Heer wrote. “If you can’t be born in conservative America, Calgary is about as close to second best as the world has to offer.’’ Indeed, at a Cruz town hall in Texas in 2013, a Republican voter who still believed Obama was born in Kenya explained why the senator’s Calgary birthplace didn’t trouble her. “As far as I’m concerned, Canada is not really foreign soil,’’ Christina Katok opined. Social media was abuzz on yesterday with Canadian Cruz jokes, some of them taking aim at Donald Trump, the most famous so-called Obama birther. “I’m sure any day now @realDonaldTrump will be asking to see @tedcruz’s birth certificate. JK LOL he’s white!’’ tweeted Danny Zuker, writer and executive producer at ABC’s Modern Family.

FLORENCE, S.C. — A Canadian soldier, his wife and their infant son have been killed in a fiery weekend crash on an interstate highway in South Carolina. U.S. authorities said Jeremiah Cross, 34, Crystal Cross, 32, and seven-month-old Grayson Cross were among the victims in the crash on Interstate 95, which also took the lives of two Pennsylvania residents. Capt. Jeremy Mathews at Garrison Petawawa, northwest of Ottawa, said Cross was a private

with 2 Service Battalion in Petawawa but had no other immediate details. Media outlets in South Carolina have reported the crash happened Saturday night on the northbound lanes of the heavily travelled interstate in Florence County, which is about 100 kilometres northwest of Myrtle Beach. The collision, which is still under investigation, involved five vehicles including two tractor trailers. Two of the cars in the crash caught fire. Traffic on the northbound lanes of the interstate was blocked for about 12 hours. — files from The Associated Press

heerless faces and wistful voices told the story at Interior Savings Centre, where the Kamloops Blazers held exit meetings on Sunday, March 22. The 2014-2015 Blazers failed to qualify for the WHL post-season, marking the first time in franchise history that has happened in consecutive seasons. “It’s very disappointing to miss the playoffs,” general manager Craig Bonner told KTW. “No one around here is satisfied.” The Blazers finished ninth in the Western Conference, losing two of three games against the Prince George Cougars in the last week of the season to seal their fate. Kamloops finished with a record of 28-37-4-3, doubling its win total from the 2013-2014 campaign, when the team posted its worst record ever — 14-53-2-3. “We made some pretty significant strides from last year,” Bonner said. “We had a good start, but November to Christmas wasn’t good and what really killed us was our road record. You have to win on the road to make the playoffs.” The Blazers were 8-23-32 in games away from ISC. Head coach Don Hay was hired last spring and his return to the Tournament Capital brought with it great optimism. He inherited one of the league’s youngest teams and pushed it to the brink of the playoffs, an impressive feat considering the Blazers limped into the Christmas

Captain Matt Needham and the Kamloops Blazers gathered one last time at Interior Savings Centre on Sunday, March 22, to discuss the season that was and what lies ahead in 2015-2016.

break and looked destined to languish in the conference basement. Still, by Hay’s own admission, finishing shy of the post-season means falling short of the team’s goal. “We feel that when you make the playoffs, you gain a lot of experience in a playoff series and the process you go through to make the playoffs is very important, too,” Hay said. “We showed improvement, development and growth but, at the end of the day, we didn’t find the consistency we needed and we’re still disappointed we didn’t make the playoffs.” Critics will point to inconsistent drafting as reason in part for the lack of success in Kamloops over the past two seasons. “Our 1996-born draft [in 2011] wasn’t good,” said Bonner, whose been at the team’s helm since 2008. “From myself through our scouting staff, we rec-

ognize that. We made some bad choices and there’s no way to skirt around that. “ You live and learn as you go. We all make mistakes. That was the one year that hurt us this year and it’s going to hurt us next year.” There are no players remaining on the roster from the 2011 draft. If Bonner, director of player personnel Matt Recchi and the scouting staff deserve criticism for drafting errors, they should also be commended for listing and signing players who contributed last season and look to have bright futures. “That’s the flip side,” Bonner said. “When you make some mistakes in the draft, it’s critical to find some free agents to make up for those mistakes.” Goaltender Connor Ingram, 17, was listed in September of 2013 and brought into camp last summer after an impres-

sive midget season with the Prince Albert Mintos. He became the No. 1 guy in Kamloops after 20-year-old Bolton Pouliot was shipped to Portland in October. Ingram followed an upand-down first half by posting stellar numbers from January onward — 15-10-11, with a 2.69 goals against average and .914 save percentage — to lock up the starting job. Summerland product Deven Sideroff, a 17-yearold forward, is another list player who made a name for himself in 2014-2015, recording 17 goals and 42 points. In NHL Central Scouting’s 2015 mid-term draft rankings, released in January, Sideroff was listed 110th among North American skaters and Ingram 33rd among goalies on the continent. See ULLY, page A18

Missing the playoffs for the second straight year is unacceptable, according to Kamloops Blazers’ majority owner Tom Gaglardi, who said no stone will be left unturned by the club’s top brass in turning the team around. “It will be a big sit-down with the owners,” Gaglardi told KTW yesterday (March 23). “We have to analyze what went wrong and what we can do better and if that includes some personnel changes, that’s something we’ll do.” The Blazers’ ownership group includes Gaglardi, Shane Doan, Mark Recchi, Darryl Sydor and Jarome Iginla. “The good news is our team next year looks pretty solid,” Gaglardi said. “We’ll look at that, but we’re also not going to sweep under the rug the events of the last two or three years. We need to be accountable for that, from top to bottom. “I don’t think it takes a New York lawyer to figure out why we are where we are and reason No. 1 might be the 1996-born draft. “We just haven’t been able to get around it. It was almost a complete whiff.” Blazers’ general manager Craig Bonner discussed his job status on Sunday, March 22, prior to the team’s exit meetings at Interior Savings Centre. Bonner said it’s the hockey business and nothing is certain, including his

future on Mark Recchi Way. Gaglardi praised both director of player personnel Matt Recchi and head scout Ken Fox, noting the relationship between them and Bonner seems to be intact. “We’re a pretty tight group,” Gaglardi said. “Matt Recchi and Ken Fox are excellent scouts and I don’t think you’ll find many more hard-working scouts than Matt Recchi. Unfortunately, it didn’t go his [Matt’s] way in terms of running the draft that particular year. “If you analyze his drafts since then, I think they’ve been pretty solid. That will all be looked at and all considered and we’ll determine what the best route is going forward.” Gaglardi said failing to qualify for the post-season in 2015-2016 will not be an option and he expects the Blazers to finish, at the very least, in the middle of the pack in the Western Conference.

Top boss sees bright future From page A15

“The future is bright, we’re all committed and everyone is working hard,” Gaglardi said. “We expect to be held accountable — me, my fellow owners, from top to bottom. “Rest assured, we’ll be doing what we need to internally to make sure we can be the best we can be.” Gaglardi said the 2013-2014 season, the worst in franchise history, was partially a result of unforeseeable circumstance. “Losing Colin Smith and JC Lipon, we didn’t expect either to go and, worst-case scenario, we thought we’d get one of them back,” Gaglardi said. “That, and with the coaching turmoil we went through, did our season in. Three or four years ago, the season we just finished [2014-2015] was the one we were all worried about.” Gaglardi said it’s no surprise the Blazers established a foundation and a new identity under head coach Don Hay, who was hired in May. “It looked like a Don Haycoached team the last third of the season,” Gaglardi said.

Kamloops Blazers’ majority owner Tom Gaglardi says missing the playoffs in 2015-2016 is not an option.

“We really just thought with Don we’d be able to will our way into the playoffs and we came up a couple points short.” Gaglardi said fans should have reason for optimism, with the team expected to return most of its core in 2015-2016 and with the progression of the 1998-born standouts and list players who impressed this season, includ-

ing forward Deven Sideroff and netminder Connor Ingram, both 17. “Going into the season with two 17-year-old goalies, in retrospect, might not have been the right thing to do,” Gaglardi said. “Hindsight is 20/20 and that might have been a mistake. “The good news is Ingram took control of the situation

and won the net. He’s a guy that can take the net for a couple years in Kamloops if he continues the way he’s going.” Stay tuned to find out if ownership decides personnel changes are necessary. “We’re going to sit down and really have a good look at how we got to where we are because missing the playoffs isn’t acceptable and missing two years in a row certainly isn’t acceptable,” Gaglardi said. “I expect that we’ll have some serious discussion, in terms of where we’ve gone wrong and making sure we’ve got it right going forward.”

Storm return home down 2-0 ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops Storm haven’t been at their best in their series against the Kimberley Dynamiters. Now, staring at a 2-0 series deficit, a win at home has never been more important. “We just played two bad games. It’s not the kind of hockey we normally play,� said Storm head coach Ed Patterson following his team’s 6-3 loss in Game 2 at the Kimberley Civic Centre. Kamloops lost 3-2 in Game 1. “Give them [the Dynamiters] credit, they’ve buried their chances when they’ve had them. Our goaltending hasn’t been sharp, our defensive zone hasn’t been sharp. “Basically, we got a little cocky after beating Osoyoos, thought we were top dog, and they’ve come here and worked hard.� The Storm and the Dynamiters will continue the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League championship final tonight (March 24) at the McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre. Puck drop is 7 p.m. Mac Isle has been a haven of sorts for the Storm thus far this postseason. The club has yet to lose on home ice in the playoffs, going 8-0. The change in venue might be just what the team needs to get its

play back on track after two sub-par performances in the East Kootenays. After both losses, Patterson said his team beat itself, falling behind on soft plays and bad turnovers. The head coach dismissed any need for his team to panic, noting teams should be expected to take care of business in their own rinks, as the Dynamiters did. But, expected or not, the frustration was obvious on the faces of the players on Sunday night as the team boarded the bus to head back to Kamloops. “Everyone’s not really too happy right now,� said assistant captain Ryan Keis. “We’re trying to regroup and we’re trying to think about what we did wrong. Everyone has a lot to think about in that way. “We’re just trying to reset for Game 3.� The Kimberley Civic Centre was no doubt as hostile a building as the Storm have played in all season. Its steeply rising bleachers, packed with 1,000 fans or more for both games in Kimberley, housed a raucous crowd that didn’t hesitate to get on Kamloops at every

opportunity. Patterson didn’t feel the venue hurt his team’s play, but said he hoped the people of the Tournament Capital would show their team the same sort of support when the series returned to Kamloops. “Our guys have worked hard all season long,� Patterson said. “They knocked off the best team in the league in Osoyoos, who only lost seven games

all year, and we beat them four straight after losing Game 1. “They sure could use a boost come Game 3.� Though Kamloops hasn’t played like itself in its first two games against Kimberley, there have been a few bright spots. The Storm’s power play has been lights out, scoring on four of seven chances, and both Mitch Friesen and Max Patterson were strong offensively in

Game 2. Felix Larouche has been in on almost every Kamloops goal since returning from injury at the start of the series. Bits and pieces of their usual strong play have been there, which the Storm are hoping to build on in Game 3 in order to get back in the series.

“We haven’t been beat, we’ve beat ourselves,� Patterson said. “They’ve owned it, the leadership group has owned it. The young guys have stepped up. They will be better. “That’s all we can do is, come Game 3, put our kind of hockey back on the ice.�

Ully: Blazers have potential From page A15

How the Blue and Orange’s 20-year-old situation shakes down next fall is anyone’s guess. Defencemen Marc McNulty, Michael Fora and Ryan Rehill and forwards Cole Ully, Matt Needham and Luke Harrison will be over-age next season. “I’m not going to be naive and think that we’re going to get them all back, but I honestly can tell you I think there’s an opportunity we will have a choice of all six of those guys,” Bonner said. Kamloops can keep only three over-age players. Ully, who is drafted and signed by the NHL’s Dallas Stars, had an outstanding season, leading the Blazers in goals (34), assists (60) and points (94). Whether he returns or plays pro will have a major impact on the Blazers’ forward group in 2015-2016. “We built a foundation, if you can call it that, and the guys will be more comfortable under Don next year,” Ully said. “The way we started playing at the end of the year shows the potential we have.” Jake Kryski, Quinn Benjafield and Jermaine Loewen made strides in 20142015 and will be expected to play bigger roles next season as 17-year-olds. “That whole 16-year-old age group on the team, and guys not on the team in midget [including Phillip Knies and Garrett Pilon], it

could be a real special group,” Bonner said. “We’ve got some size, we’ve got some grit and we’ve got some skill.” The Blazers are high on Knies, the Phoenix product they drafted in the fourth round in 2013, but his return to Kamloops is no guarantee. “His family and agent are going to wait for the season to end and go from there,” Bonner said, noting Knies is putting up great numbers playing midget in Colorado. “He’s got some college offers. It’s 50-50.” Nick Chyzowski and Jesse Zaharichuk showed improvement late in the campaign and are expected to compete for ice time in their 18-year-old seasons. Collin Shirley and Matt Revel will be relied on to produce as 19-year-old veterans next season. Shirley was a bright spot in 2014-2015, finishing third in team scoring with 42 points, 26 of them goals. Captain Needham was an anchor, posting a plus-31 rating to lead the team in that category and finishing

“As harsh as this sounds, there’s a simple theory I have — play better,” Bonner said. “Dawson Davidson came in and took their ice time. The harsh reality in hockey is when you get your chance, you’ve got to take it. “In fairness to those guys, we were basically in a playoff atmosphere for the last two months. We were not in development mode. “They didn’t get a real opportunity.” With its first two picks in the 2014 bantam draft, Kamloops selected defencemen Nolan Kneen third overall and Conner McDonald 24th overall. The North Shore Winter Club products will push for roster spots next season. Brady Gaudet is the lone graduating defenceman. (Read more about the graduating Blazers later this week in KTW). Between the pipes, 16-year-old Dylan Ferguson and 17-yearold Cole Kehler will likely compete for the back-up job behind Ingram at training camp in August and throughout the preseason. “The ownership, the management, the coaching staff and the players, we want to become a winning organization,” Hay said. “We grew in a lot of different areas and development doesn’t happen as quick as you want it to. If we stay the course, the fans will see more success from our group.”

second in scoring with 76 points, 25 of them goals. Logan McVeigh and Joel Hamilton are the graduating forwards. There are plenty of questions to be answered on the blue line. Rehill was drafted by the New Jersey Devils in 2014 and McNulty by the Detroit Red Wings in 2013, but neither are under contract. “We did have a better season than last year, but it’s still unacceptable, us not making the playoffs,” Rehill said. “I’ve grown up here with the team and with the guys and made so many friendships and relationships with coaches and teammates and [Blazers’ trainer Colin] Toledo [Robinson]. I would be pretty upset to not play here next year.” Fora was listed 114th in the mid-term draft rankings. If he is picked in June, he might be returned to the Blazers. The Swiss import was selected 66th overall and 18-year-old D-man Patrik Maier of Slovakia was picked sixth overall in the CHL Import Draft in July. Maier turned out to be serviceable and the Blazers seem to have found a gem in 16-year-old Dawson Davidson, who joined the team in December and was playing in critical situations down the stretch. Travis Verveda and Cameron Reagan, both 17-year-old rearguards, did not see much action.

NO WORD ON LIONS GAME AT HILLSIDE ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The City of Kamloops is still waiting for word on whether it will play host to a B.C. Lions pre-season game this June. Sean Smith, Tournament Capital Co-ordinator for the City of Kamloops, said he’s hoping to hear from the Canadian Football League club by the end of March or early April. “They’ve got a few places they’re looking at, I suppose,” Smith told KTW. “But, we think they’ve got to like it here.” Kamloops, the annual home of the B.C. Lions’ training

camp, would seem a natural choice for what is scheduled to be a home game on June 19 against the Edmonton Eskimos. Though it is believed the team

is also considering options around the province, including in the Lower Mainland and on Vancouver Island. The team’s other

exhibition game, a June 12 matchup against the Calgary Stampeders, will be played at McMahon Stadium. Smith said that

should the game be held in Kamloops, the city is hoping to have it rescheduled to June 20, allowing Kamloops to make it a full-day event on the Saturday. That, however, is a change that would have to be approved by the Canadian Football League and the CFL Players’ Association. Though the schedule hasn’t yet been released for the Lions’ 2015 training camp in Kamloops, the event generally begins at the start of June, running for nearly three weeks. KTW reached out to Lions director of communications Jamie Cartmell for comment, but he did not respond before press time.

McIlroy gearing up for Masters DOUG FERGUSON

THE CANADIAN PRESS

ORLANDO — Rory McIlroy’s road to the Masters was memorable for reasons not many would have imagined. He missed the cut at the Honda Classic. He was missing a club at the Cadillac Championship when he flung his 3-iron into a lake. And his highlight at the Arnold Palmer Invitational was eating a banana split after dinner with the King. “He went into it like it was the last supper,’’ Palmer said. It wasn’t pretty, but there was no reason for McIlroy to panic. He finished off the Florida swing with two birdies on the last three

holes for a 2-under 70, eight shots behind Matt Every at Bay Hill. He tied for ninth at Doral, though he was still eight shots behind Dustin Johnson and never really featured on the weekend. In 10 rounds over three tournaments, he broke 70 only once. Before heading home to South Florida for two weeks of work before the Masters, he was asked if he should be the favourite at Augusta National. “Given how I’ve been playing, I guess if you go on form, then probably no,’’ McIlroy said. “But, it depends how far you take that for back, and you’ve got to look at previous results there and all sorts of stuff.’’

There was no right way to answer the question, so he made an artful escape by adding, “I’m not a bookie.’’ But, he is the favourite. And there will be loads of pressure on McIlroy. The opportunity is too great. Not since Lee Trevino in 1991 has a player gone to the Masters with a chance to complete the Grand Slam. Trevino never cared for Augusta National, never seriously contended there and, besides, he was 51. McIlroy had a fourshot lead going into the final round in 2011 and shot 80. He knows he can play there. He’s only 25. And he’s No. 1 in the world.

Shockers still stunning OMAHA, Neb. — Wichita State should know how to avoid distractions by now. When the NCAA Tournament field was first set, all anybody wanted to talk about was the Shockers finally getting a shot at Kansas. Nobody wanted to mention that they first had to take care of Indiana just to give the game a chance of happening. It came to pass, of course. And, behind a stellar effort on both ends of the floor, the No. 7 seed Shockers beat the Jayhawks 78-65 on Sunday night (March 22),

KL Thank you from Kamloops This Week and all the customers on your newspaper route. We want to recognize you for your outstanding efforts and dedication. You are doing a fantastic job!

Don’t worry. There will be no shortage of it. The Shockers (30-4) have played enough win-or-go-home games that they should be immune to looking ahead, though. VanVleet and fellow backcourt mates Ron Baker and Tekele Cotton were part of the team that advanced to the Final Four two years ago, beating No. 1 seed Gonzaga and second-seed Ohio State before falling to eventual national champion Louisville.

PHILLIPS, MCCALLUM WILL RETURN TO LIONS VANCOUVER — Veteran defensive back Ryan Phillips agreed to a contract extension with the B.C. Lions yesterday (March 23). The new deal will keep Phillips, who has spent his entire 11-year

advancing to the Sweet 16. Now, all anybody will talk about is a potential rematch with overall No. 1 seed Kentucky, the same team that ruined the Shockers’ perfect season in the NCAA Tournament a year ago. Except Wichita State first has to beat No. 3 seed Notre Dame. “We’re going to approach it the same way we did this time,’’ Shockers star Fred VanVleet told The Associated Press. “We’ll let y’all do all the looking ahead, anticipating.’’

CFL career in B.C., with the Lions through the 2016 season. The CFL club also announced that kicker Paul McCallum will return for his 23rd CFL season, 12th with the Lions.

“Both Paul and Ryan remain integral parts of our team as they continue to perform at a high level on the field and play a vital role as respected leaders in the dressing room,’’ Wally Buono, the Lions vice-

president of football operations, said in a statement. Phillips has made 180 consecutive appearances with the club since signing as a free agent in 2005. The Seattle native is a four-

time CFL all-star and last season had a teamhigh three interceptions with 39 tackles. Last season, the 45-year-old McCallum hit a league-best 38-of42 field goals. — Canadian Press

Royals’ Lowry to coach Canadians at world juniors CALGARY — Dave Lowry has been named head coach of Canada’s team for the 2016 world junior hockey championship. The 50-year-old will be joined on the bench by assistants Dominique Ducharme, Martin Raymond and D.J. Smith. The head coach of the WHL’s Victoria Royals for the last three years, Lowry played 1,084 games over 19 NHL seasons with the Vancouver Canucks, St. Louis Blues, Florida Panthers,

San Jose Sharks and Calgary Flames. The Ottawa native won a gold medal as an assistant coach with Canada’s world junior team in January. The 2016 tournament will be held in Helsinki, Finland.

WOLFGANG WEYHE Wolfgang Willi Weyhe, passed away peacefully on the morning of March 18, 2015 at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home with his loving wife of 48 years by his side. He is survived by his wife Christa, son Willy, daughter Tanya, son-in-law John, grandchildren Elizabeth and Amelia and sister Annemarie. Wolfgang is certain to have been already greeted in Heaven by his Dad, Mom and brother, Manfred. Wolfgang was born in Frankfurt Oder, Germany on January 27, 1945 and Clenze, became his hometown. He chose to become a master baker for his trade. He crossed the ocean on one of his Dad’s ships in 1964 and immigrated to Canada. He knew very little English at the time, but set his determination and skills aimed for success in anything he did in Canada. On one of his visits back to Germany, he met and became engaged to the woman who stole his heart (the sister of one of his baking friends, Horst). Wolfgang returned for only a short while to Canada, this time to prepare a home in Kamloops, BC, for his bride-to-be, Christa. Wolfgang and Christa arrived in Kamloops only one week after their wedding which was on January 21, 1967, in Neudarchau, Germany. Wolfgang worked at Canada Safeway for a few years, then, Wolfgang and his family moved to Quesnel, BC in 1974, where he opened a bakery. It was sold to his brother-in-law, Horst, when there came an opportunity to become an owner and operator of another bakery back in Kamloops. The Wunderbar Delights of The Main Bakery were enjoyed by the Kamloops community for 12 years and then the family started a new adventure together in Abbotsford, BC in 1987. Wolfgang was a baker at the nearby Safeway until he retired. Baking was definitely a passion for Wolfgang, but one did not only know him by his lovingly made delicious treats. He was always very energetic, helpful, loyal and joyful. Fishing, hiking, long bike trips, building a cabin and a house, gardening and traveling throughout Canada and Germany, were just a few of the experiences he loved to share with anyone who would join him. Unless he was enjoying a beer with the company of friends and family or sketching out his plans, Wolfgang was rarely just sitting. Even when Wolfgang and Christa retired to Magna Bay, he kept himself always on the go and then Wolfgang and Christa enjoyed happy hour with the neighbours as they watched the sunset over the beautiful, sunny Shuswap, together. There will be a memorial service on March 28, 2015 at 3 PM at Schoening Funeral Service located at 513 Seymour Street, Kamloops, BC with a reception to follow at the same location. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the SPCA would be greatly appreciated. Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com Schoenings Funeral Service 250-374-1454

A Funeral Mass will be held on Tuesday April 7, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. at Sacred Heart Cathedral, Kamloops with Father Andrew L’Heureux as Celebrant.

A Vanished Friend Around the corner I have a friend In this great city that has no end; Yet days go by, and weeks rush on, And before I know it a year has gone, And I never see my old friend’s face, For life is a swift and terrible race. He knows I like him just as well As in the days when I rang his bell, And he rang mine. We were younger then, And now we are busy, tired men, Tired of playing a foolish game, Tired with trying to make a name. “Tomorrow, I will call on Jim, Just to show that I am thinking of him.” But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And the distance between us grows and grows, Around the corner, yet miles away “Here’s a telegram, sir,” “Jim died today!” And that’s what we get, and deserve in the end, Around the corner a vanished friend!

REAL FACTS AND ACRONYMS! Part I of III

TALKING

Tina Turner When one thinks of Tina Turner, several aspects come to mind. Luisa Marshall is aware of them. Big hair? “I’ve got it.” Red lipstick? “Of course.” Attitude? “She’s all about a rock-and-roll attitude and I’ve got that.” Killer legs? “Mine aren’t exactly like Tina’s, but they’re not bad.” High heels? “Done” — sort of. The reality is wearing the stiletto heels Turner is known for are hard on her feel, Marshall said.

“I have many heels; it depends on the costume. But, I hate high heels.” She’s had some special inserts made for her feet to tease the tension because she not only wears the heels, but struts in them like Turner does, but she’s not happy with the footwear. “I see people out there walking in high heels and they’re just walking. They don’t have to wear them. I don’t recommend it at all. “Of course, they’re younger than me.”

OPTION #1

Dental x-rays are beams of ionizing (cell absorbing) radiation that pass through the body and capture valuable information about your mouth. The beam passing through the Dr. Preety Desai mouth is changed slightly and then absorbed on the other side in “multiple shades of grey” on the film. These shades depend on how thick the tooth, bone or filling is. For instance, silver fillings appear completely white as they reflect the x-ray beam and no radiation is captured while bone and teeth are grey and air is black as 100% of the beam hits the film. In the past protective lead shielding in rooms and aprons were needed to reduce radiation scatter to other body parts not being imaged. Today’s machines are so precise that scatter is negligible and lead lining is only required to be in a room with a CBCT (cone beam computerized tomograph)... more in part III Dental X-ray machines located most commonly in a dental office look like a tube cantilevered off the wall. The most common films taken are traditionally called intraoral films and there are two types: bitewings and periapical films. Both of which require the film/sensor to be placed inside your mouth. Digital sensors may or may not have a chord direct to the computer or communicates by bluetooth to the computer software. Bitewing films are most often taken at your dentist to check for cavities in between teeth. These x-rays DON’T capture the whole tooth (only the top half) so you cannot check for root canal problems at the bottom of the tooth or accurately check for bone loss in between teeth surrounding the tooth due to gum disease. Periapical films capture the whole tooth and its surroundings so you can see parts of the tooth missing on the bitewing film. In order to have a more thorough picture of what is going on in your mouth you will need something called a full mouth series (FMS) (using both bitewings and periapicals) in order to correctly diagnose a problem. Often if you are a new patient this FMS gives your dentist a very important basis upon which to execute and complete and accurate treatment plan. Panoramic or Cephalometric X-ray machines are different looking and are called extraoral films (outside the head) and are more often needed by an orthodontic or oral surgeon’s office to capture the whole jaw or side views of the profile of the head. From the panoramic film, you can identify missing teeth early in a child’s development or view wisdom tooth impactions and the need for extraction. You can also see the TMJoints to identify arthritis or jaw fractures in MVAs when a patient cannot open their mouth for various reasons. But panoramic films have distortion and < 70% accuracy in some cases so these are not films that a dentist can see things extremely accurately. Incidentally they were designed by the US military to just screen soldiers before battle for any major problems Next month .... X-ray Safety Part II!

MANILA TO PROUD MARY DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

L

uisa Marshall remembers the first time she performed in Kamloops. It was at Dukes, the bar that was once a happening place in the basement of the Plaza Hotel. “That was many moons ago,” Marshall said.“We were there for a weeks at a time. We had an awesome time.” Marshall was touring with her own band, one that covered the gamut from Etta James blues to Donna Summer disco to Lady Gaga dance-pop. She’s heading back to the River City after a long absence but, this time, she’ll be featuring her one unique female musical diva as she brings her Tina Turner: Simply the Best tribute to the Pogue Mahone Irish Alehouse on Saturday, March 28. She’s come a long way from her musical beginnings in Manila where, as a child riding a jitney in her hometown, Marshall decided to sing for the dozen or so passengers on the small buses. “I started to sing and people paid me,” Marshall said with a Turner-worthy hearty laugh. “I remember my parents laughing and saying, ‘This child is so full of herself’.” From those busbound busking moments came interest in the guitar and, later, other musical instruments. Marshall said her

‘ . . . he kept saying ‘You kind of look like her’ so I put it on.”

parents were supportive — mom was an opera singer and dad also loved music — but insisted she get a degree. While at college, she sang whenever she could. “And, then, I started to audition for other groups in the Philippines, and then I was privileged to sing with some prestigious bands,” she said. “I learned a lot from it.” The Luisa Marshall Band booked a tour to Canada and, 25 years later, Marshall is still in the country and counts among many proud moments being recognized in 2013 in the Royal Bank of Canada’s top 25 Canadian immigrants. At the time, Marshall said her goal was to “become a true role model and inspiration for many new Canadians coming to this country.

“We’re all living here in our beautiful adopted country where we can embrace diversity and multiculturalism without prejudice . . . and where we can excel and make our dreams come true. “The opportunities are overflowing, the possibilities are endless for a better future.” Ironically, one of Marshall’s biggest opportunities came in another country. While performing in Dubai, a British man in the audience asked her to wear a Tina Turner-style wig when she performed Proud Mary with her band. “He kept insisting and I said, ‘Are you crazy?’, but he kept saying ‘You kind of look like her,’ so I put it on.”

She thought that was the end of it, but husband Steve kept encouraging her to think about bringing Turner into the act. “I kept saying no. “For three years, I said no and then I said I would do it once in a while with my band, maybe five minutes for one song. But, then, it just grew and I got a proper wig and it became a musical that’s travelling everywhere. It’s taken over my life.” While Marshall acknowledges there are iconic songs audience members love — Proud Mary, Simply the Best — her favourite isn’t one of the big Turner songs. She loves We Don’t Need Another Hero, the theme from the 1985 film Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome — a movie that co-starred Turner. Marshall recalls singing it while entertaining Canadian troops, discovering some of the soldiers were in tears when she was done. “Each time I do it, especially when I’m performing at Legions, it gets a standing ovation.” Tickets for the show are $25 in advance at 843 Desmond Ave. or $25 plus service charges at the Kamloops live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kamloopslive.ca. On the day of the show, add $10 to each ticket at both locations.

The Thompson Rivers Forest District, along with other districts in the Southern and Northern Interior, will begin implementing new resource road radio channels commencing on May 4, 2015. Districts on the Coast and in the Cariboo have already transitioned or are currently transitioning. Forest industry workers and other road users using mobile radios must have their radios reprogrammed to incorporate the new resource road channels. It is recommended that road users retain current radio frequencies until they are sure they are no longer required. New signs posted on local resource roads indicate which radio channel to use and the calling interval, with drivers required to indicate their direction of travel and their vehicle type. Drivers using mobile radios must call according to the posted channels and call protocols. All road users are reminded that forest service roads are not radiocontrolled, but radio-assisted. All users should drive safely and according to road and weather conditions. It is strongly recommended that all resource road users exercise additional caution during this transition period. Local resource road safety committees have worked together to implement these changes. More information (including radio communications protocols, radio channels, maps and standardized signs) is available online at: www.for.gov.bc.ca/hth/engineering/Road_Radio_Project.htm

We are sorry for the inconvenience. We will restore power as soon as we can.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

You may feel pushed and pulled in a number of directions, Libra. This makes it difficult to pursue your own personal goals as a result. Speak up if you need more time to yourself.

Scorpio, a relatively rebellious streak surfaces this week. Risk-taking is at the center of this new attitude, and you may find yourself doing a little damage control.

Sagittarius, you may think that the grass is greener somewhere else, but that is not always the case. Seek ways to make your own grass greener.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Cancer, your career may conflict with the demands of your relationship if you let them. Find a balance between the two so you can have your cake and eat it, too.

Leo, some exciting changes lie ahead. Now is a great time to step out of your comfort zone, even if you are a little nervous to take the first steps.

Virgo, this week brings a change in your life, and this change will lead to some great things down the road. Don’t be embarrassed to be excited about this new path.
