DR. GUR SINGH • 1936-2015 DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Last week, with his health failing, Dr. Gur Singh insisted on calling a meeting. He wanted to discuss planning for his annual golf tournament, which has raised more than $1 million since 2004 for the Kamloops Brain Injury Association (KBIA). No one was surprised — not his partners in the project, nor the KBIA that has benefitted from it for the past 11 years. “He made it abundantly clear to us, tough as it was, that we have to carry on,” said KBIA executive director Terry-Lynn Stone. They plan to do just that even as the organization, the medical community and the city itself mourns the death of Singh. Diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig’s disease) last year, Singh died in Royal Inland Hospital on Tuesday, March 24. He was 78. Heidi Coleman, CEO of the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation, praised Singh for his

vision for health care in the community. Singh was born in India on Sept. 25, 1936, and attended medical school there. He moved to North American in 1961, settling in Kamloops in 1967. At the time, he was the only neurosurgeon

in the community. “And he was on call every night,” Coleman said. “My God, what a trailblazer he was.” Coleman took the new head of surgery at the hospital, Dr. David Omahen, to meet with Singh recently. She said they spent

several hours talking about the time Singh tried to create a neurosciences centre in Kamloops, one of the few projects he took on that never came to fruition, and the value of the hospital to the city. CONTINUED ON A2

Kamloops-Thompson school district Supt. Karl deBruijn knows decisions being debated now will make people angry. Scenarios senior school-board administrators are analyzing include charging parents for students who ride the bus, adding pay parking at schools and, for four regional communities, shutting down their one-room schoolhouses. It’s all in an effort to meet a Ministry of Education-mandated reduction of $786,000 in the school-district budget. Add in another $814,000 that needs to be found due to enrolment realities and the school district is looking for $1.6 million to save. DeBruijn said the district has already cut its budget substantially through previous school closures, reconfigurations and other measures and is struggling to meet the government directive, “A lot of us aren’t sleeping at night,” he said. Complicating the matter is the fact enrolment figures for kindergarten classes this fall fell short of what was anticipated when the district held its registration days earlier this month. Demographical studies anticipated 1,040 students would be registered, but the final tally had 130 fewer. Because of the way school-board budgeting is done, however, submissions for funding have to be sent to the Ministry of Education before the board of education knows the final numbers. It is what has led to the need to make up some funding received that doesn’t reflect the enrolment realities. In total, it’s estimated school boards throughout the province have to find $35 million in enrolment-funding shortfalls, as well as another $29 million in administrative savings.

We lose “$500,000 to $700,000 a year running our buses. Maybe we have to charge for riding the buses.

Son Arjun: ‘He died peacefully’ From A1

Singh worked at RIH for two decades, eventually becoming chief of staff, the position he held when he retired. While the various communities that lay claim to Singh are grieving, there’s a family that has known this day was coming. Son Arjun said his father had made it clear he didn’t want to lose his faculties as the disease took over his body. Arjun said his father entered the hospital with an infection, his breathing starting to labour. “He died peacefully,” Arjun said. “People kept him comfortable. It was a real blessing. There was not a lot of ugly that comes with this horrible disease.” Asked what lesson he learned from his father might be, Arjun said it’s impossible to name just one. “So many lessons. Be gentle. Be humble. Always work hard. Have high standards. Have a love of people. Give back.” Funeral arrangements are expected to be made public in the coming days.

Memories of Dr. Gur Singh flood in . . . • Lawyer Alexander Watt, who worked with Singh on the annual golf tournament: “What really strikes me is his kindness . . . Never have I seen somebody who has so much dedication and is so kind to the people he deals with.” • Mayor Peter Milobar: “A kind, gentle man who did endless good things for the people of Kamloops. “You never got the feeling he was put out by talking to anyone. “He just welcomed anyone with conversation.”

• Brenda Aynsley, executive director of the United Way Thompson-Nicola-Cariboo, which partnered with Singh on the golf tournament: “It is so sad. When I think of the number of people Gur brought together for the tournament every year, he made it a real social thing. “We had as much fun planning it as we did on game day. Gur was so proud of the opportunity to give back.” • Lawyer Dave Marr, who

worked with Singh on the tournament: “I never met a man more committed to a project than Gur. “He met with every sponsor and explained how important it was — and he seldom failed. “He did it all in a low-key sincerity. Sincerity seeped out of him.” • Mary Dymitri, Singh’s longtime head nurse: “I remember the way he advocated not only for his patients, but also his staff and also to improve the neuro care at RIH. “He said there’s no sense doing

complicated brain surgery and not do the best follow-up care. “He was a genuinely good person. He always said the community has been good to him and he wanted to give back to the community. “Something that Gur also contributed to us was in teaching. He promoted neuro rounds so staff in the hospital and people in the hospital could go to them — so he was also an educator. It was a nurturing, learning environment he promoted, too.”

Dr. Gur Singh (second from left) with the product of his passion — proceeds raised from his eponymous charity golf tourney. This 2011 donation of $155,000 was raised via the golf tournament and through a fundraising dinner. Joining Singh on that day were, from left: Coun. Pat Wallace, Thompson-Nicola-Cariboo United Way executive director Brenda Aynsley, HMZ Law lawyer Dave Marr and Kamloops Brain Injury Association executive director Terry-Lynn Stone.

Kamloops Fire Rescue and RCMP responded to a single-vehicle rollover on the Coquihalla Highway, just south of Kamloops near the brake check, yesterday (March 25) at about 8 a.m. Paramedics attended to three occupants of the white Dodge Ram van that lost control on the slushy highway, left the northbound lane and rolled in the median. The driver and passengers were taken to Royal Inland Hospital with undetermined injuries. The light snowfall saw Argo road crews clearing the highway with plows.

CARCINOGENIC WEED KILLER USED BY CITY ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The City of Kamloops won’t completely stop using an herbicide the World Health Organization now believes is most likely cancerous, but its head of parks says it is committed to using it as sparingly as possible. Last week, the cancer-research arm of the World Health Organization added glyphosate, an ingredient in the popular herbicide Roundup, to its list of possible cancer-causing agents. The decision was published online in the journal Lancet Oncology. Herbicides containing glyphosate are now on par with anabolic steroids, creosotes and shiftwork that involves circadian disruption in the organization’s carcinogenic ranking system. IARC, the French-based agency responsible for the new classification, said the cancer risks of the weed killer were mostly from occupational exposure in industrial settings, rather than from home gardening. Kamloops parks, recreation and cultural-services director Byron McCorkell said the city has phased out most of its herbicide use in fields and parks, but still uses herbicides on noxious weeds, which it is required by the province to destroy. “We use a very limited amount of Roundup for the size of our operation, but we do use it,” said McCorkell, who pointed out the IARC is not saying Roundup is definitely carcinogenic. “There still is no definitive link, so it’s not unlike most pesticides.”

“There’s a suspected link and that’s why we’ve gone with an IPM program — an integrated pest management program. We don’t spray like we used to 15 years ago.” On its main sports fields, the city uses aeration, fertilizer and watering, and a regular dandelion-cutting program to keep weeds down, McCorkell said. When herbicides are used in parks, it’s generally on the edge of pathways and the city places signs in the area in advance and after work is complete. While the city has had success using goats instead of herbicides for some of its noxious weeds in Kenna Cartwright Park and at the Tournament Capital Ranch in Rayleigh, McCorkell said the herd wouldn’t work in a manicured park. “They would be confused because they eat a lot and they’d start eating grass,” he said. “Then we’d have a different problem.” The city’s other alternative to pesticides would be manual weed-pulling, McCorkell said, which is expensive and would need to be repeated throughout the growing season. “It’s one of those areas we’re very concerned about. It is pesticide use, which is why we’re trying not to use it.” he said. “But, at the same time, we need to be cost-effective and the reason there are pesticides is, it’s cheaper. You do one thing once and you don’t have to do it any more.” The WHO findings have been criticized by Roundup producer Monsanto and other companies that argue their products are safe for use. — with files from the Canadian Press

GLYPHOSATE AND GROUP 2A From the IARC Working Group: Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum herbicide, currently with the highest production volumes of all herbicides. It is used in more than 750 different products for agriculture, forestry, urban and home applications. Its use has increased sharply with the development of genetically modified glyphosate-resistant crop varieties. Glyphosate has been detected in air during spraying, in water, and in food. There was limited evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of glyphosate. Case-control studies of occupational exposure in the United States, Canada and Sweden reported increased risks for non-Hodgkin lymphoma that persisted after adjustment for other pesticides. Bacterial mutagenesis tests were glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans” (Group 2A). This designation is applied when there is limited evidence of carcinogenicity in humans as well as sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals.

Education minister says spending too high From A1

“We have four one-room schools in

the district and there are potential savings there,” deBruijn said “But, the reason

those schools stay open is because they are the only schools in their communities.”

The four are in Westwold, Heffley Creek, Vavenby and Blue River.

“We lose $500,000 to $700,000 a year running our buses,” deBruijn said. “Maybe

we have to charge for riding the buses. We’re looking at ways to save money on bus supervision.” Regardless of what decisions are made to cut that $1.6 million, deBruijn said there will be unhappy people. He said the irony is school boards are being pushed by the provincial government to implement Victoria’s provincialeducation plan, a document that promotes personalized learning and educating students on rapidly changing technology. “We’re also looking at our spending on technology, yet we’re told [by the government] we need to increase our use of it,” deBruijn said,

adding the board of education is looking at professional development at all staffing levels and might have to cut out some of the non-contractual training it provides. KTW contacted Education Minister Peter Fassbender’s office, asking why the cuts are being applied uniformly to all districts, rather than adjusted to account for those that, like SD73, have already done extensive budget cutting. Fassbender declined to answer, referring KTW to an article he wrote for his government’s website on his belief school districts are “spending more money on administration than ever before.”

Tailings talk tonight at TRU The talk, Tailings & Tailing Ponds 101: What You Should Know about Tailings, is scheduled for 7 p.m. in Thompson Rivers Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mountain Room. A report released in wake of the Mount Polley disaster recommends moving to dry-stack tailings. That option is now being considered by KGHM Ajax for its proposed mine immediately south of Kamloops.

An environmental engineer will discuss mine tailings and tailings dams at a lecture tonight (March 26) in Kamloops.

PROBATION FOR SNUFFED PLAN TO SMUGGLE DRUGS INTO PRISON TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Despite being â&#x20AC;&#x153;diabolicalâ&#x20AC;? in nature, a judge has ruled a Kamloops womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attempt to smuggle drugs into prison by way of a public bathroom at Royal Inland Hospital does not warrant a jail sentence. Erin Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Morrow pleaded guilty to possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking and was sentenced to an 18-month probation term in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops yesterday (March 25). Court heard the 28-year-old came up with a scheme with her then-boyfriend, a prisoner at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre, to sneak drugs into prison. The plan involved Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Morrow hiding crystal meth, heroin and marijuana inside a restroom at RIH. The boyfriend would then fake an injury and ask to be taken to hospital for treatment, retrieving the drugs on a trip to the bathroom. A KRCC corrections officer became aware of the plan and

Busting down door leads to jail time showed up at the Carson Crescent apartment of his ex-girlfriend on Aug. 1, 2014, after multiple attempts to contact her through phone calls and text messages. Crown prosecutor Monica Fras said Kowalchuk’s ex saw him trying to get into her apartment building and refused to let him in. He later gained entry to the building and began banging on his ex’s door.

TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kicking in the door of his ex-girlfriend’s North Kamloops apartment after sending a string of harassing texts and phone calls has earned a Sicamous man nine days in jail. Matthew Kowalchuk was sentenced this week in Kamloops provincial court. Court heard the 28-year-old

“Eventually, he kicked the door in — he broke the door frame,” Fras said. “Quite extensive force was used to get into the apartment.” Fras said Kowalchuk’s exgirlfriend then barricaded herself inside her bedroom with a piece of furniture blocking the door. Kowalchuk was unable to get into the bedroom and left the building.

His ex, who called police while Kowalchuk was banging on the door, went across the hall to her neighbour’s apartment to wait for Mounties to arrive. In addition to the jail sentence, Kowalchuk was also placed on a one-year probation term with orders requiring he have no contact with his ex-girlfriend or be within 100 metres of her home or workplace, abstain from alcohol

and take counselling as directed. In addition, he will have to abide by an 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew for six months and pay $462.34 in restitution for damages caused to the apartment door. Kowalchuk, who had no prior criminal record, is slated to stand trial in July on charges stemming from an alleged breach of his bail conditions in October involving contact with his ex-girlfriend.

Bail follows alleged police chase Former NHL player Bail has been granted to a Kamloops man alleged to have led police on a “very dangerous” high-speed chase that only ended when the stolen car he was driving ran out of gas. David Nicholson has been released on $2,000 bail in Kamloops provincial court. Crown prosecutor Camille Cook said the 25-year-old was driving a stolen Honda Accord with stolen licence plates in the early-morning

hours of Feb. 13 when police tried to stop him. “When the vehicle was attempted to be stopped, it then began to proceed at a high rate of speed,” she said, noting a police car’s radar clocked the car travelling at 177 km/h during the chase on the Trans-Canada Highway. “It was speeding quite excessively and the RCMP narrative also indicates that evening was quite foggy, which is very dangerous at night.

“Fortunately for police, the car ran out of gas and was driven into a ditch.” Cook said Nicholson and his two female passengers fled on foot. He was eventually found by a police-dog unit. Court heard the stolen Honda had been linked by Kelowna RCMP to a home invasion in the Okanagan last fall. Cook said Nicholson was already on bail at the time on two separate charges.

Despite those serious allegation, court heard, Nicholson only has one entry on his criminal record — an impaireddriving conviction from 2012.

STAFF REPORTER

A former National Hockey League enforcer facing assault and driving charges stemming from an alleged incident in Kamloops last summer will stand trial in May. Rudy “Pot Pie” Poeschek, who played parts of a dozen seasons in the NHL, is facing one count each of assault, driving while prohibited and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. All of the charges stem from an alleged incident on July 5, 2014, the details of which have not yet been made public. Splitting time between the New York Rangers, Winnipeg Jets, Tampa Bay Lightning and St. Louis Blues, Poeschek played 364 NHL games over 12 seasons, tallying six goals and 25 assists while racking up 817 penalty minutes. Prior to his professional career, Poeschek, a Terrace native, played in the WHL for the Kamloops Junior Oilers and Blazers between 1983 and 1987. He was selected 238th overall by the

British Columbia recharges rebate for electric vehicles TOM FLETCHER

BLACK PRESS

Correction In a March 24 KTW story (‘Variable speed zones on the way’), it noted the province’s transportation plan also includes $125,000 to install LED signs and special markings on Highway 97 between Kamloops and Vernon. The original story cited Monte Creek as the location when, in fact, the signs and markings will be added in the Monte Lake area.

$6,000 for hydrogen fuelcell vehicles, which are still not sold in B.C.

A fleet of 20 such transit buses were used in Whistler during the

2010 Olympics, but they were parked late last year.

If they can’t be sold, they will be converted to diesel.

The B.C. government has revived its emissionfree vehicle-subsidy program, offering up to $5,000 to buyers of battery-powered and plug-in hybrid cars. Energy Minister Bill Bennett announced the program at the Vancouver Convention Centre as it set up for the annual Vancouver Auto Show this week. B.C. will spend $10.6 million — most of it for vehiclepurchase rebates and the rest to finance new carcharging stations. The program takes effect on April 1 and is funded to continue until March 2018. Those scrapping a 2000-or-older vehicle can receive an additional $3,250 toward a new battery-electric or eligible plug-in hybrid under the BC Scrap-It program. Even with the rebate, an electric car is more expensive to buy than a comparable gasolinepowered vehicle, but the fuel savings average about $1,600 a year compared to gasoline. B.C.’s last electric vehicle-rebate program ran from 2011 to 2014, subsidizing the purchase of 950 electric vehicles and more than 1,000 charging stations. Bennett said electric vehicles and charging stations are not just a big-city option, noting some are used in his hometown of Cranbrook and other towns across the province, despite their shorter range. “Anybody with a 200amp service can put a 30-amp breaker on their panel, put a charging station in their driveway or in their garage and charge their vehicle at home,” Bennett said.

COMPARE PRICES ON LIQUOR

or those who drink responsibility, the loosening of B.C.’s liquor policies can only be a good thing. From Sunday openings at B.C. government liquor stores to the convenience of B.C. wine availability at grocery stores, buying booze will become more convenient. But, make no mistake, competitive pricing will also be necessary in this new environment. The government has already promised to level the playing field with wholesale pricing so private liquor stores will no longer be at a disadvantage. It will be up to consumers to determine where they get the most bang for their buck and, for the first little while, it’s going to take some comparison shopping. Many fear this switch to a new wholesale pricing system will hike prices of more expensive hooch. Others worry that if the government eliminates tax-in display prices, as it has said it will do to save costs, consumers will end up paying more if the shelf price isn’t lowered to accommodate the change. All this and some worrying secrecy as the government failed to release its prices last week to the disappointment of many. Meanwhile, private liquor stores, which already have tax-in pricing, aren’t likely to change their system to be in line with the government liquor stores and so it will be up to consumers to see where they get the most value. As for private liquor stores, will there be lower shelf prices with the promised harmonizing of alcohol prices they get from the B.C. Liquor Distribution Branch? Typically, private stores charge a bit more for booze because they’ve been paying more to obtain it, but consumers will want to see if private retailers are passing any savings on to customers. Where all this will lead is uncertain, but the province undoubtedly doesn’t want to lose its competitive advantage because alcohol revenue provides a hefty sum of cash to government coffers — as much as $4.3 billion, according to the BC Government Employees Union, which represents government liquor store workers. The goal should be responsible alcohol consumption, convenience and competitive pricing to benefit the consumer, while maintaining a revenue stream that keeps both government and private liquor stores strong.

all me a conspiracy theorist. Add in purveyor of misinformation. Heck, go a bit further and label me the mother of one of those darn radicals who dares to speak out against possibly the worst piece of legislation ever drafted by the Stephen Harper government — as he loves to call it. Just don’t call me wrong about how bad Bill C-51 is, how reprehensible it is that our supreme leader is hiding some laws that violate our civil rights in a massive document that is a take-all requirement. Here are some of the reasons why: Harper is creating his own secret enforcement in the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, bestowing on it the right to act as if it’s a police force, no longer required to go to the real police in our country — the RCMP — when it feels there is a threat to the security of Canada. I’m sure our MP will point out the bill actually exempts “lawful advocacy, protest, dissent and artistic expression,” but this is a prime minister who seems determined to link head coverings to repressive terrorist organizations. It wants us to sacrifice our freedom for what Harper — a man campaigning for the upcoming election with a script filled with fear-mongering — deems to be a risk to our country. It’s a bill federal Privacy

Street

LEVEL Commissioner Daniel Therrien has already said would “seemingly allow departments and agencies to share the personal information of all individuals, including ordinary Canadians who may not be suspected of terrorist activities, for the purpose of detecting and identifying new security threats.” Seventeen federal bodies will be able to share this information, a list that includes Canadian Border Services Agency, Canada Revenue Agency, Canadian Armed Forces, Canadian Food Inspection Agency, Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, CSIS, Communications Security Establishment Canada, Citizen and Immigration, Finance, Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development, Health, National Defence, Public Safety, Transport, Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada, Health Agency and RCMP. That’s a lot of people who can poke and peck away at what you and I say and do and what

our medical history contains. They will be able to find out if we’re gay, what god we believe in and even who we vote for as they look for any links we might have to terrorists. Does this make you afraid? Good. Harper wants you to be scared. Conservative MP LaVar Payne has called those who criticize the bill “conspiracy theorists.” Fellow Conservative MP Daryl Kramp has said those of us speaking out against the bill are wrong, quoting rumours and mistruths. Treasury Board president Tony Clement has blown off the criticism as little more than fodder for debate among law professors. Don’t let them fool you. Yes, be afraid. Fear for the future of the country because, if this bill is passed — although it’s a matter of when, not if — Canada will be a much different nation than the one we think it is. It will no longer be the peacekeeping country of Lester Pearson. It will no longer stay out of the bedrooms, as Pierre Trudeau once said it must. It will definitely no longer be a country ruled by the government of Canada. By then, it won’t only be called the Stephen Harper government, it will have become it — and that’s definitely something to fear. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

REMEMBER BILL C-51 ON ELECTION DAY

REMEMBER THE RULE Editor: The community is talking about addressing the panhandling problem. Although we are all in agreement something needs to be done, regardless of our social status, we must remember this â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the little golden rule to treat others in a manner that we wish to be treated. Glenn Shaw Kamloops

Editor: Re: The two stories in the Feb. 13 edition of KTW concerning the Conservativesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Bill C-51 (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Freedoms could be impactedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Kamloops MP cites fear-mongeringâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;): According to 2005â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Power to the People: An Independent Inquiry into Britainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Democracy, our freedoms are being impacted by the weakening of: â&#x20AC;˘ the mandate and legitimacy for elected governments; â&#x20AC;˘ political equity; â&#x20AC;˘ effective dialogue between governed and governors; â&#x20AC;˘ effective recruitment into politics; â&#x20AC;˘ the rise of undemocratic

RESPECT THE FALLS

political forces; â&#x20AC;˘ a quiet authoritariansim within government. The Royal Canadian Air Farce had a good take on former U.S. president George W. Bush confusing â&#x20AC;&#x153;touristâ&#x20AC;? with â&#x20AC;&#x153;terroristâ&#x20AC;?. Is Prime Minister Stephen Harper confusing â&#x20AC;&#x153;protesterâ&#x20AC;? with â&#x20AC;&#x153;provocateurâ&#x20AC;?? Therefore, there are â&#x20AC;&#x153;reasonable groundsâ&#x20AC;? to spy on Canadian protesters to ensure our security because if you are not with the government, you are with the terrorists. Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod and Harper are falling for Islamic bluster.

Editor: Re: Teresa Clineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Local Travel column of March 5 about visiting the Whitecroft Waterfall: The falls are actually known as McGillivray Falls as they are on McGillivray Creek, which flows from McGillivray Lake behind Sun Peaks.

It is the Conservative government that is fear (false evident appearing real)-mongering. Giving up freedom to gain security means we wind up without freedom and without security. In his March 10 lecture on which the KTW articles were based, Thompson Rivers University law professor Robert Diab mentioned â&#x20AC;&#x153;secret police powers.â&#x20AC;? Bill C-51 demonstrates the truth of â&#x20AC;&#x153;undemocratic political forcesâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;quiet authoritariansim within government.â&#x20AC;? Let us all remember this when we vote in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s federal election. Ray Jones Kamloops

The water-intake buildings mentioned were the original intake for Whitecroft village domestic-water use. It is nice to hike up to the falls, but I hope the area is respected because of the intake, which is the reason for the chained gate. Rob and Rose White Kamloops

HUNTING IS THE ETHICAL WAY TO FEED OUR FAMILIES Editor: Re: Andy Malolepszy â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;s letter of March 24 (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Can trophy hunting be considered ethical?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;): I believe everyone is entitled to their opinion, but one thing in the letter that displeases me is the choice of words used to state a point â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially the comments regarding educating young people about life and not death. If someone is so against the death of animals, they should not go to the supermarket

to buy a big, old T-bone steak or hamburger, for example, because â&#x20AC;&#x201D; guess what? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that was once an animal who most likely lived its life in a barn until being slaughtered. As a youth hunter, I much prefer to shoot an animal in the wilderness, where the wildlife live in its natural habitat. I am writing this mainly because I am sick and tired of people writing to the paper about how evil hunters are. But, one thing you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see are hunters harassing vegetarians or people who pur-

chase store-bought meat. So, what I am asking is to please lay off the harassment of people who are providing for their families or themselves in an ethical and traditional way. I fully support parents teaching their children the reality of where their food comes from and to have a better understanding of being thankful to animals for giving their lives for ours. Colby Griffiths, 13 Kamloops

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have had many private and public discussions with Dr. Singh about health care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had differences of opinion about that issue, but never animosity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dr. Singh was a skilled neurosurgeon, humanitarian and, above all, a good man. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To the Singh family, my expression of shared sorrow on the loss of the big man.

TRU issues discussed in bargaining DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Thompson Rivers University is looking to ongoing bargaining to address issues faculty members have raised. TRU vice-president advancement Christopher Seguin, commenting on a survey that showed some faculty aren’t happy with the way the university’s senior administration is running the institution, noted only 169 of more than 1,000 faculty participated in the study by the Federation of Post-Secondary Educators in B.C. That document showed more than three-quarters of those participating said they don’t feel

administrators take their input seriously and another 42 per cent would not recommend the university. Seguin said the university has noted the results and acknowledges it needs to do a better job with internal communications. He said the issues faculty have raised need to be heard and addressed — something he said is happening now at the bargaining table. “In a fiscal environment where we are facing many challenges and difficult choices, it is harder and harder to fulfil all of the expectations brought to the table,” Seguin said. “But, that is where this conversation needs to happen.”

The university and its faculty association have agreed on a media blackout and, because of that, association president Tom Friedman was careful in earlier comments to KTW about the survey to not address those issues now part of the negotiations. The association has told its members its bargaining is being guided by a variety of principles and values, including two-way communication and information sharing, recognizing and valuing the skills and contributions of all staff, respecting the principles of academic governance and striving “to be one team working towards common goals and objectives.”

Andrews on the Square on his proposed bill, called An Act to Defend the Pacific Northwest. The bill would put a plug in Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline, which is designed to ship bitumen to Kitimat from Alberta, by outlawing supertanker traffic on the North Coast. It would also change the structure of the National Energy Board to better incorporate views of municipalities, First Nations and citizens. Cullen also wants National Energy Board reviews to to study whether projects would add value to Canada’s natural resources and to determine if projects would export jobs, along with oil. Cullen’s town hall meeting is scheduled for March 29 at 2 p.m. St. Andrews on the Square is at Seymour Street and Second Avenue in downtown Kamloops.

The managing partner of a development group that constructed the first three phases of Talasa at Sun Rivers has vowed his contracting firm will continue in Kamloops despite no longer being part of the project. A senior Sun Rivers representative told KTW earlier this week that Mibroc Group will no longer be involved in the development as the two sides are parting ways. Mibroc acted as the general contractor for the first three phases of Talasa condominiums at Sun Rivers. Its principal, Darryl Caunt, was the managing partner for Cambri Development Group, which developed the project. “On some projects, there’s a point in time when it doesn’t

make sense to proceed any further,” Caunt said. “That’s the case here.” Caunt acknowledged the slowdown in the construction industry since 2008’s Great Recession has been difficult for his company. City of Kamloops construction in 2014 was down in number of permits issued for single- and multi-family units by about 20 per cent from the year before. Caunt said everyone in the

Highlands pushes forward Aberdeen Highlands Development has sold 95 per cent of lots in its latest West Highlands phase and is now focusing on marketing a multifamily site. General manager Chris Bebek said 31 of 33 single-family lots on Crosshill Drive, phase six of the project, are sold. She predicts more than half the homes will be constructed this year.

He made a foray into the Calgary market before the recent oil-induced slowdown in Alberta, but will focus the company’s future in Kamloops, where its head office remains. The company specializes in custom homes and has won a number of industry awards. Caunt said his company is now primarily interested in single-family construction. Cambri and Talasa brought a lawsuit against a consultant for the project at Sun Rivers. That firm, MDC Moores Development and its principal, Stefan Moores, filed a statement of defence in B.C.

Accused in 1974 rape of disabled B.C. girl deported back to Canada from L.A. THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — A British Columbia man who vanished in 1980 under accusations he raped a disabled girl has been deported back to the province from the United States to face trial. Raymond MacLeod,

72, was turned over to authorities in Vancouver this week by American immigration officials after 17 months of legal wrangling that concluded in a final order of removal. The former Prince George resident was 32 years old at the time of the alleged 1974

incident involving a five-year-old girl with cerebral palsy. He faces charges dating back those 40 years, including rape and assault. A new charge of obstruction of justice has also been approved by the Crown. “It’s a big win,’’ said RCMP Cpl. Craig

Douglass, spokesman for the Prince George detachment. “That first investigator that went to the scene, I’m sure when he or she hears about this, it’s probably going to stir up some memories. You remember those ones.’’ MacLeod was arrested in October

Nuttall wanted recognition as extremist: trial

2013 by American authorities at a Los Angeles-area trailer park, where he was living under an alias, the U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement said in a news release. An immigration judge ordered MacLeod’s deportation in March 2014.

Mother suing B.C. for foster-care death THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — A British Columbia mother whose infant daughter died while in foster care has filed a lawsuit against the provincial government. Sara-Jane Wiens said

her two-month-old baby Isabella was taken from her in August 2011 after she was deemed unfit to care for her. In March 2013, the 21-month-old toddler was found dead in the crib of her foster home. Wiens has now filed

a civil claim against the B.C. government and the province’s director of child, family and community services alleging recklessness and bad faith in dealing with her case. The lawsuit alleges the government didn’t

properly supervise Isabella while she was in foster care and failed to adequately consider returning the child to her mother. Wiens’s lawyer said his client noticed bruises on the infant’s body during supervised visits and

notified ministry officials but no action was taken. Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux said the ministry launches a review any time a child dies in care, but would not comment on the specific case.

VANCOUVER — The trial of a man accused of planting bombs on the grounds of the B.C. legislature has heard he wanted AK47 assault rifles to carry out his plan so people would know he was a Muslim terrorist. In audio played in B.C. Supreme Court, John Nuttall is heard saying people would recognize the style of gun from the movies and automatically know him as an Islamic fundamentalist. The recording was made in early May, two months before police arrested Nuttall and his wife Amanda Korody for allegedly planting homemade bombs in Victoria on Canada Day 2013. Their arrest was the culmination of a months-long undercover RCMP sting operation. Nuttall previously said he and Korody were recent converts to Islam and that they wanted to avenge what they saw as the mistreatment of Muslims overseas. The pair has pleaded not guilty to four terrorism-related charges.

Too early to say if merger of Heinz, Regulator slams Bell Kraft will result in Canadian layoffs after report executive 2,000 Canadians employed by new megabrand ALEXANDRA POSADZKI

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — A merger between H.J. Heinz Co. and Kraft Foods is expected to generate about $1.5 billion in cost savings, but the companies say it’s too early to tell if they will shutter any of their Canadian operations. “We’ll be looking at all of our operations over the coming months, but for now it’s business as usual,’’ Michael Mullen, senior vice-president of corporate and government affairs at Heinz, told reporters during a conference call after the deal was announced yesterday. The merger will create a combined company called Kraft Heinz Co., which will own brands such as Heinz, Kraft, Oscar Mayer and Philadelphia, and have annual revenue of about $28 billion U.S. The cost savings are expected by the end of 2017. Ian Lee, a professor at Carleton University’s Sprott School of Business in Ottawa,

said the deal will likely lead to layoffs as the two companies find ways to share costs. The cuts will most likely to occur in the companies’ head offices or in regional offices, as the companies find ways to consolidate expenses. However, consolidation of manufacturing is also possible, Lee said. “We don’t yet know where the synergies are going to be identified, but chances are there will be some layoffs in Canada,’’ Lee said. Kraft has three distribution centres and two manufacturing and processing facilities in Canada, according to a recent filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The company has around 2,000 Canadian employees. Mullen said Heinz’s Canadian operations are based in Toronto and St. Mary’s, Ontario. Heinz also has a small office in Leamington, Ont. 3G Capital, which co-owns Heinz along with Berkshire Hathaway Inc, is known for par-

ing down the assets of acquired companies in order to boost profits. “Every time you put two major public companies together, there are natural synergies and efficiency opportunities associated with that,’’ said Alex Behring, Heinz chairman and managing partner at 3G Capital. After being acquired by 3G and Berkshire in 2013, Heinz announced plans to shut down a number of plants, including one in Leamington that has been in operation for more than a century. Around 740 full-time, permanent staff were going to be laid off as a result. Highbury Canco later agreed to buy the plant, saving at least 250 jobs. 3G Capital also owns 51 per cent of Restaurant Brands International Inc., the company formed last year when Burger King bought Canadian coffee chain Tim Hortons Inc. That merger led to about 350 Tim Hortons employees losing their jobs.

meddled in journalism THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Canada’s broadcasting regulator has issued a sharply worded reminder to Bell Media that it has a statutory duty not to interfere in the work of its CTV journalists, calling a report of meddling “disturbing.’’ The warning follows a Globe and Mail article that says Bell Media president Kevin Crull intervened in how journalists reported a major regulatory decision last week. The Globe says Crull demanded journalists not give any airtime to Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) chairman Jean-Pierre Blais. CTV president Wendy Freeman is said to have communicated that edict to journalists, reportedly explaining that she feared for her job. Blais had just announced rule changes requiring broadcasters to offer a low-cost package to consumers and to allow them to “pick and pay’’ other individual channels. He had appeared at a news conference, and also did individual interviews that day. Blais put out a statement yester-

day that reminded Bell of its responsibilities under the Broadcasting Act. “That a regulated company does not like KEVIN one of the CRTC’s rulCRULL ings is one thing. The allegation, however, that the largest communication company in Canada is manipulating news coverage is disturbing,’’ Blais wrote. “Holding a radio or television license is a privilege that comes with important obligations that are in the public interest, especially in regards to high-quality news coverage and reporting.’’ Crull did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Broadcasting Act, which the CRTC applies as it gives out licences, specifically points to “freedom of expression and journalistic, creative and programming independence.” CTV is a division of Bell Media, a company with assets in TV, radio, and Internet. Bell Media is owned by BCE Inc., the country’s largest telecommunications firm.

‘It just went by so fast’ MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

This was the scene after the Kamloops Storm’s double-overtime win over the Kimberley Dynamiters in Game 3 of the KIJHL final at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre on Tuesday, March 24. KTW reporter Adam Williams was at Game 4, held last night on Mac Isle. Go online to kamloopsthisweek.com for the story.

Storm watch

Mitch Friesen and Bobby Kashuba had a pair of points apiece as the Kamloops Storm defeated the Kimberley Dynamiters 3-2 in a double-overtime thriller on McArthur Island on Tuesday night. Kamloops trailed the series 2-1 heading into Game 4 last night (March 25). Go online to kamloopsthisweek.

com for up-to-date results. Down 2-0 to start the third period in Game 3, the Storm faced the possibility of playing for their playoff lives in Game 4. But, goals from Brayden Dale and Max Patterson tied the game, before Kyle Lohmann scored the game-winner in the

second extra frame. Jacob Mullen again got the start in goal for Kamloops, stopping 27 shots. The Storm will head to Kimberley for Game 5 tomorrow, returning to Kamloops for Game 6 on Sunday, if necessary. A possible Game 7 is scheduled for Tuesday, March 31, in Kimberley.

ive years of his life were rushing through his head, Joel Hamilton’s voice quivering while reflecting with reporters. “It just went by so fast. I can’t really believe it,” said Hamilton, the 20-year-old Kamloops Blazers forward who played his last game in the WHL on Saturday, March 21. “Most of the time, you’re always busy — it’s go, go, go. You don’t have down-time to stop and think about what’s going on. “It felt like just yesterday I was 17 in the league and thought, ‘Oh, I’ve got four more years of this.’ It flies by.” Hamilton, Brady Gaudet and Logan McVeigh ended their major-junior careers on Saturday night, beating the Prince George Cougars 5-2, but falling short of the playoffs. Gaudet and McVeigh’s paths intertwined uniquely. They were both drafted by the Blazers in 2009 — Gaudet in the first round, McVeigh in the second — and left the Tournament Capital in trades before being shipped back to Kamloops to finish their careers. Unlike Hamilton, neither of them had been struck by the finality of it all, minutes after leaving the ice at Interior Savings Centre on Saturday. “It hasn’t really hit me yet,” said Gaudet, who spent nearly two full seasons in Red Deer before he was traded back to Kamloops in May. “There were a couple points in the game when I took a moment and looked around and reminisced on all the good times and the bad. “I had some flashbacks to Game 6 against Portland when I was 17 and it kind of sent tingles down my back.” McVeigh missed out on the magic of the Blazers’ epic triumph over the Winterhawks in the penultimate game of the

2012 Western Conference semifinal. He was dealt to Prince Albert halfway through the 2011-2012 campaign and later sent to Medicine Hat and Regina before landing in Kamloops in October. With less than three minutes to play in his final WHL game on Saturday, the journeyman capped his career with a goal. “It’s hard to have emotions right now. It’s going to hit here soon,” McVeigh told KTW. “When I scored the late goal, it really hit me and I got a little teary-eyed. “To be drafted by Kamloops and end my career here is awesome.” Hamilton was absorbing the moment and speaking from the heart, especially when asked about head coach Don Hay. Hay coached Hamilton in Vancouver in 2013-2014 and had a hand in bringing the Cochrane, Alta., product to Kamloops at the January trade deadline. “I remember when I got traded to Vancouver [from Red Deer]. At first, a lot of guys said, ‘Good luck with Don Hay, because some guys can’t handle him,” Hamilton said. “It’s not a jab toward him. It’s just the way it is. Some guys can’t take how hard and how demanding he is. “I can’t say enough about what he’s taught me

in a year-and-a-half.” “Him being the way he is has taught me so much about not only playing hard very night, but showing up when you don’t even want to and when you’re tired and run down, to dig deep and push, with details and work ethic.” Hay told reporters after the game on Saturday he needed time to gather his thoughts — “It’s an emotional time,” he said. KTW caught up with Hay on Sunday morning, before the team held exit meetings, and asked him about Hamilton. “It’s important the players understand that, when you push them, you want to make them better,” Hay said. “It’s to help them become good hockey players, but also good young men, so they can have success in whatever field they choose. “There are certain relationships you make . . . it’s like family leaving.”

Finding referees is also an issue, which has Webster recommending officiating clinics to all the association’s players. The problems faced by KMLA aren’t the type that will be resolved overnight, but Webster is determined to improve the health of the game in the Tournament Capital. Along with the Kamloops Day of Lacrosse, the association will again host the Alan Price Memorial Tournament in May, along with its MiniTyke Jamboree on April 19. “I’m just a real fan,” Webster said. “I love the sport, love watching it. “Obviously, you’re never going to compete with hockey, and soccer is well-entrenched here, too. “But, we’re more just trying to be known than anything.”

kids the opportunity to try the game and decide if it’s something that interests them. “We want people to realize that you can have your kid, at five and six and seven and eight, enrolled in lacrosse. It’s not just an older-age-group sport in Kamloops.” The KMLA is a relatively small association, with only about 160 registrants lining up in box and field lacrosse each season. It’s the personalized nature of the sport, along with the intense fitness required, that Webster said should make lacrosse a consideration for parents of children in Kamloops, especially at younger ages. And, with increased youth participation, the president is hoping to grow the game

Brook Webster knows lacrosse is never going to compete with the likes of soccer and hockey, but he believes the sport still has a place in Kamloops. Webster, president of the Kamloops Minor Lacrosse Association, is trying to drum up registrants for the upcoming lacrosse season, which begins in earnest next week. Among the events the KMLA is using to promote the sport is the Kamloops Day of Lacrosse, a free event that will take place on Sunday, March 29, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., at Westsyde Centennial Park. “It’s one of those things where we’re just trying to get people involved in the sport,” Webster told KTW. The Kamloops Day of Lacrosse will give

at all levels. Focusing on the mini-tyke, tyke and novice age groups, Webster hopes to inspire the youth that will be the future of the game. He wants the sport to regain the popularity that once necessitated the establishment of a second junior team in the Tournament Capital. The Venom, now Kamloops’ only junior lacrosse team, were formed because there were too many players to play on what was then the only junior team, the Rattlers. It’s no secret lacrosse has had its problems in Kamloops recently. The Venom nearly folded last year due to issues with coaching and administration, while the KMLA has had to cancel its annual house tournament because of decreased enrolment.

Fast Eddy on the move MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Fast Eddy ran through Kamloops on Wednesday, March 18. As of yesterday (March 25), he had reached Finn Creek Provincial Park, located about 80 kilometres past Clearwater on the road to Edmonton.

Edward Dostaler was trying to avoid thinking about the 20,657 kilometres in front of him. When Fast Eddy trotted into Kamloops at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, March 18, he had already covered 928 kilometres on the first 18 days of his ultramarathon run. “I have to tell myself that I’m not running across Canada and back,” Dostaler said. “If I think about the bigger picture, the more scary it seems.” Fast Eddy is running to raise money for Alzheimer’s and breastcancer charities, with the goal set at $250,000. Donate online at fasteddycanada.com. He has collected about $435 in donations. Dostaler’s grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and one of his favourite

Thompson Rivers University professors, Tom Owen, died of cancer. He arrived in the Tournament Capital one day ahead of schedule, having started the journey in Victoria on March 1. Dostaler did not depart until Saturday, marking the end of the longest break he plans on taking. The 26-year-old carpenter wanted to see his grandparents before they went on a cruise and spend time in his hometown, knowing he won’t be back for a long time. “The more days off that I take, the harder on my body it is to get back into it,” said Dostaler, who has already lost two toe nails. “If I sit there for 10

or 15 minutes, it’s so hard to get back up.” The hills are starting to take their toll. “You’re constantly running on your toes and your achilles starts to pull more and more and more,” said Dostaler, who is running solo and unsupported. “The hills are horrible.” Finding shelter with strangers, often friends of friends, has become the norm for Dostaler, who stops to get a few winks, take a shower and do laundry before taking to the road. The support he receives is a catalyst to keep pounding the pavement — the horns honking, the encouraging cheers and people stopping to donate. “Mentally, at first, I didn’t think I was strong

enough,” Dostaler said. “Now that I see people are cheering me on, it’s easier.” The plan is to run about 60 kilometres each day en route to St. John’s, before turning around and doing it all again. It’s believed no one has ever completed the return trip. “I wouldn’t have started this if I couldn’t have done it,” Dostaler said. “Before I know it, I’ll be on the other side looking back, saying, ‘OK, let’s take it one day at a time and get back.” Dostaler was about 80 kilometres past Clearwater on the road to Edmonton when KTW checked in yesterday (March 25.) Only 20,577 kilometres to go.

For a few of the Kamloops Classic Swimming clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elite members, April is going to be a busy month. With the start of spring comes the 2015 Canadian Swimming Trials, which will be held in Toronto from April 1 to April 4. The Trials will serve as a selection event for the 2015 Pan American Games, the 2015 FĂŠderation Internationale de Natation (FINA) World Aquatic Championships and the 2015 FINA World

Junior Championships. Megan Dalke, Makena Sutherland, Colin Gilbert and Ethan Phillips will represent the Classics at the Trials. While Classics head coach Brad Dalke said his swimmers are unlikely to qualify for the Pan Am Games team, swimming against athletes as much as 10 years their senior, he noted the high schoolers are â&#x20AC;&#x153;getting close.â&#x20AC;? More importantly, the national event is exactly 12 months from the 2016 Olympic Trials, at which Dalke hopes his athletes will be competing.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is kind of like a walkthrough, getting ready for that particular event,â&#x20AC;? he told KTW. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The good thing with our kids is theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all high-school kids. So, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still growing, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still maturing, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lots of upside to them in their training.â&#x20AC;? Not only will the Olympic Trials take place on the same weekend next year, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also be held at the same venue â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with many of the same athletes. The coach is making no promises for his team next year, but is optimistic about what the future may hold.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never say that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a possibility,â&#x20AC;? Dalke said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re where they need to be. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot of work to do between then and now, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible.â&#x20AC;? The Canadian Swimming Trials will likely mean more to the Classics in terms of being selected to a few smaller events. The swimmers will be looking to be selected for Team B.C. for the Western Canada Games and the World Junior Swimming Championships. For Brad Dalke and Gilbert, April will also feature a trip to Australia with

the Canadian Junior National Development Team. The team will be competing in Sydney, at the 2015 Australian Age Group Championships. Dalke is one of two coaches, while Gilbert is one of four male athletes. The pair will leave April 9, returning April 23. Also taking place next month will be the FINA Open Water Swimming Grand Prix. The Classics will be represented by Phillips, who will be travelling to Cancun, Mexico, to compete in the the 10-kilometre race, scheduled for April 25.

WOLFPACK ANNOUNCES AWARD FINALISTS With a little more than a week to go until their annual awards banquet, the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack has selected the finalists for its major awards. The banquet takes place on Thursday, April 2, at the Campus Activity Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grand Hall. Each of the institutionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major awards go to both a male and female athlete.

Down goes Brown; Nelson claims title The 2015 Sun Life Financial Super League champion was crowned at Kamloops Curling Club on Monday, March 23. Team Nelson (KGHM Ajax Mining Inc.) earned a 6-4 victory over Team Brown (Rivershore Ram). Nelson is a deserving champion, having finished atop the regular-season standings with a record of 16-1. The Brown rink advanced to the final by downing Nelson 5-2 in the A qualifier on March 8, while Nelson booked a spot in the championship game with a victory over Team Klymchuk in the B qualifier.

Chiefs land first pick in WHL draft

The Spokane Chiefs will pick first overall at the WHL Bantam Draft in Calgary on May 7. Saskatoon won the draft lottery that was held yesterday (March 25) and featured the league’s six non-playoff teams — Saskatoon, Lethbridge, Vancouver, Kamloops, Prince Albert and Moose Jaw. Saskatoon traded its first-round pick in this year’s draft to Spokane in January 2013 in a deal that saw forward Collin Valcourt go the other way. Kamloops will not pick until Round 2, in which it has two selections. The Blazers acquired a conditional second-round pick from the Saskatoon Blades in a trade that sent defenceman Jordan Thomson the other way in January 2014. That turns out to be the first pick in Round 2, 23rd overall. Kamloops also picks 26th overall. The Blazers shipped their first-round pick in the 2015 draft to Moose Jaw in a trade that brought Joel Edmundson to town in January 2013.

Back on the squash map MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

Jacquie Moberg and Sheila Leach engage in a squash showdown at No Limits Fitness. The Kamloops Squash Association is holding a tournament at the North Shore gym from April 10 to April 12.

Dear Mortgage, I’m taking time off...

Tournaments are back and the Kamloops Squash Association is boasting about it. “We’re back in business,” KSA president Eric Valdal told KTW. “We want to demonstrate that squash is alive again in Kamloops and having this tournament is one of many activities that can help do that.” The tournament will run from April 10 to April 12 at No Limits Fitness, the North Shore gym that is home to the only two squash courts in the city. Men and women of all skill levels are invited to register before the April 5 deadline, but are encouraged to sign up soon, as there is only room for 40 players. “Within a week, we were already half full,” Valdal said. “We’ve got a lot of new faces, some novices, so that’s a really good sign.” The $40 entry fee guarantees

three games, pizza on Friday night and an informal barbecue on Saturday night. Sign up online at squashbc. com or in person at No Limits (905 8th St.). In the summer of 2008, Racquetor Courts and Fitness on McGill Road shut down. Malone’s on 8th closed its doors and its squash courts in May of 2010. One ragged, unofficial-sized, dimly lit court in the Thompson Rivers University gymnasium became the only place to knock the little rubber ball around — until it closed in 2012.

“It’s been at least five years since there was a tournament in town,” Valdal said. “It’s incredibly important to demonstrate that we’re open for business again, especially getting into more formal leagues, which No Limits has done a real great job in organizing.” Darren and Maria Maywood, along with Andrew and Lisa Watson, purchased the old Malone’s building and turned it into No Limits, which opened in January of 2013. The owners decided to refurbish the courts, once again giving squash lovers a place to play. With two courts, No Limits does not have the capacity to host large-scale tournaments, but Valdal wants to start putting on more-specialized events — and holding them more often. “There used to be a weekend women’s tournament and it was very popular provincially,” Valdal said. “We have an opportunity to expand and be more specialized.”

The Brandon Wheat Kings may be the team to beat in this year’s playoffs, but they will first have to get through the defending Memorial Cup champions, the Edmonton Oil Kings.

Powerhouse Wheat Kings look to unseat defending Oil Kings MONTE STEWART

THE CANADIAN PRESS

The Edmonton Oil Kings will have history on their side in this year’s Western Hockey League playoffs — but not much else. The defending WHL and Memorial Cup champions hope to become a Cinderella team after taking a steep fall in the standings. Although the Oil Kings have won two league titles and a Canadian crown in the last three years, they will be hard-pressed to knock off the powerhouse Brandon Wheat Kings in their first-round Eastern Conference series. “It’s been a different experience this year for our team,” Edmonton assistant coach Steve Hamilton said. “We’re certainly going through a transition as an organization.” The Oil Kings are seeking their fourthconsecutive WHL final berth and third Memorial Cup trip in four years. “I don’t think we carry the burden of the pressure that we’ve had over the last few years,” Hamilton said. “We’re certainly heavy underdogs by most people’s expectations.”

Edmonton had to settle for the second wild-card berth in the Eastern Conference after finishing eighth with a 34-31-4-3 record. The Wheat Kings placed first in the East with a 53-114-4 mark. Edmonton’s new underdog role stems from the departure of stars Curtis Lazar, now with the NHL’s Ottawa Senators, and Henrik Samuelsson and Griffin Reinhart, who are toiling in the AHL. But, most of this season’s Oil Kings also played for last year’s dual-championship squad and Brandon’s last two post-seasons (2013-14 and 2011-12) ended with losses to Edmonton. “Being the underdog doesn’t mean you have no chance,” Hamilton said. “It just means, on paper, you’re not picked to win.”

Calgary Hitmen vs. Kootenay Ice

The Hitmen enter the playoffs on a fivegame winning streak. Adam Tambellini, who finished 10th in league scoring with 47 goals and 39 assists, will lead the Calgary attack. Unheralded Kootenay has gifted

offensive players in Luke Philip, Jaedon Descheneau and Sam Reinhart, the secondoverall pick in the 2014 NHL draft (Buffalo).

Regina Pats vs. Swift Current Broncos

Both the Pats and Broncos enter the playoffs having lost six of their last 10 games, but the all-Saskatchewan affair promises to be a memorable battle.

Kelowna Rockets vs. Tri-City Americans

The Rockets are the clear favourites to come out of the West after making key trades that brought stud defenceman Josh Morrissey and power centre Leon Draisaitl in separate deals from the Prince Albert Raiders. Draisaitl recorded 53 points in 32 games after beginning the season with the NHL’s Edmonton Oilers. Beau McCue’s 51

points led Tri-City.

Victoria Royals vs. Prince George Cougars

The Royals, led offensively by Austin Carroll, do not come across as overly flashy but play a steady brand of hockey that will make them difficult to unseat. The Cougars are back in the playoffs for the first time since 2010-11.

Medicine Hat Tigers Everett Silvertips vs. Red Deer Rebels vs. Spokane Chiefs

The Tigers boast two of the league’s top scorers in Trevor Cox, who placed second, and Cole Sanford, who was fourth. Riley Sheen leads the Rebels with 24 goals and 47 assists.

Today’s Sudoku Puzzle is brought to you by Murray MacRae

Nikita Scherbak justified his trade to Everett from Saskatoon at the start of the season by leading the Silvertips in scoring. Now, he must help the Silvertips handle the pressure of being one of the favourites in the West against a dangerous Spokane team.

Portland Winterhawks vs. Seattle Thunderbirds

Portland is seeking its fifth-straight WHL final berth and second trip to the Memorial Cup in three years. The Winterhawks must limit Seattle winger Mathew Barzal, who missed much of the season with an office knee injury, but still recorded 12 goals and 45 assists in 44 games.

MORTGAGE MATTERS Save your home! Don’t sell your home unless you want to! Bills, household expenses and poorly structured mortgages can wreck havoc on the family finances. If this sounds like you, there are options to explore, and you often don’t have to sell your home unless you want to! Bills and high housing costs can sometimes be addressed by looking at three things: 1. Amortization For years, many lenders have been advising clients to choose 20 or 25 year amortizations so the client doesn’t have to pay as much interest over the life of the mortgage. Good idea right? Well, the problem is that sometimes the payments are so high that the client ends up putting emergency expenditures, vacations and other expenses on high interest credit cards. The result is that people end up paying off 3%, 4% and 5% mortgage debt and building up 9%, 19% and 29% credit card debt. The high credit card interest can become unbearable and force the sale of your home. 35 year amortizations are still available! Conditions apply 2. Refinancing In some cases, we can use the equity from your house to payoff credit card bills, car loans, etc. This means we pay off high interest debt with low interest debt. We can’t always change how much money you owe, but we can change how much interest you get charged on it. 3. Cashback Would a cashback mortgage work for you? In this type of mortgage, you receive a lumpsum of 2% or 5% at closing which you can use to reduce bills etc. The extra money can reduce overall household monthly payments or can be used to payoff closing costs or mortgage penalty. The mortgage payments are higher for this type of mortgage. If you are struggling with month to month bills or know someone who is, call me BEFORE you miss a payment. Once you have missed payments reported on your credit bureau, lenders are less likely to approve your mortgage change.* Whether you are a first-time homebuyer, up for renewal or refinancing, there are many unique and competitive products available on the market today. For more information about qualifying for a mortgage or if you have questions about your specific situation, please call 250 682 6077 or e-mail steve.bucher@migroup.ca or check out my website at www.mortgagebuilder.ca Today’s Mortgage Matters is brought to you by Steve Bucher.

First Memorial Funeral Service 250-554-2429 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.

ROY JOSEPH ROZECK 1937 - 2015 With heavy hearts and profound sadness, we announce the sudden passing of our husband and father, Roy Joseph Rozeck on February 6, 2015. Dad was born on November 26, 1937 in Kimberley, BC. He met his wife Louise in Clinton, BC and they were married in August of 1963. They moved to Kamloops and raised their family. Roy worked for the School District for 25 years. In the last couple of years, we bought our dad an IPAD and he was introduced to the computer world of slots, texting and facebook.

ò Obituaries & In Memoriam ô BRANDON CHARLES TATE - FATHER, SON, BROTHER, GRANDSON August 18, 1982 - March 19, 2015

Brandon was a young man filled with love and passion for life. He was a soft spoken and quiet person, but when he smiled and laughed, he filled the room with his energy.

Gone too soon on March 19th, 2015, Brandon died tragically doing what he loved best, riding his motorcycle. Survived by many of his loving family members, Brandon will be missed most by his daughter Asha. Father to his greatest love, Asha brought out the best in her dad. His memories will be cherished and carried forward by his daughter Asha, his life partner Stephanie, his parents, Teresa and Charlie, his sister Michelle, grandmothers, aunts and uncles and cousins. Funeral service will take place at 11:.00 am on Saturday, March 28th, 2015 at Kamloops Funeral Home, 285 Fortune Drive.

JUDITH BERNICE JACKSON We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our adored sister, ‘Judy’ Judith Bernice Jackson, age 64, at Royal Inland Hospital, Kamloops, B.C. on March 17th, following a sudden illness. Predeceased by parents Peggy and Ford Jackson, Terrace, B.C. and survived by siblings Eveline Flint, John (Ethel) Jackson, Doreen Byng, Bob Jackson, Eva Stock, Bill Jackson (Karen Knox), and Donna (Tex Tessmer) Jackson, several nieces and nephews, and dear friends, Sharon and Eugene Leveque. A remarkable life: Born with Down’s Syndrome, the family was advised survival would at most be a year, she would never walk (highly energetic by age 3), a life expectancy of 46. A shrewd observer and outspoken commentary, Judy (the Queen) amused us throughout her life –loved music (an ardent Elvis fan), dancing, Halloween, red shoes, presents and chocolate –‘family’ was her touch-word. The family is deeply grateful to her physician, Dr. P. Sigalet, who guided us in her care for many years and was a comfort to Donna, who was with her throughout her final illness. Thank you to all who came into her life at her former residence, Oriole House; Vista Program, which she attended for years; former Zellers staff with whom she became friendly while Donna was on staff, and many others for their kindnesses. We are indebted to Ridgeview Lodge, where she was welcomed May 9th, 2013, for their ongoing attention to her comfort and needs and to Ponderosa, where she spent five months in recovery at an earlier date. Thank you also to Gwen Miller-Watt, and Catherine Chisholm, Community Living BC ; Brad Orr, Interior Health and to Royal Inland staff in Emergency and the ICU for their wonderful, professional and sympathetic care. She will be missed daily and fondly remembered forever by family and friends, a life enjoyed with sparkle and exuberance despite challenges.

LOCAL NEWS

Good news for collector-car honks CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

When Andy Cordonier purchased his uncle’s 1957 International pickup and brought it home to Kamloops from California, he was taking a chance. Cordonier was confident of his restoration skills, but the whole time he poured money and time into the pickup, it wasn’t registered in his name and its ownership status was unclear. An announcement by Transportation Minister Todd Stone clears the way for enthusiasts in the future to be able to immediately register vehicles purchased outside B.C. — even if they don’t run. The move was made at the behest of the Specialty Vehicle Association of B.C., which is pushing for changes to make the hobby easier. Stone said prior to the change, those wanting to register collector vehicles had to ensure they were running and could pass a

road test. That meant owners had to substantially complete restoration before they could register their vehicle. Cordonier said for those who purchase a vehicle from outside of B.C., the ownership status was held in limbo as they spent thousands of dollars on restoration. “I couldn’t get it legally registered until it was restored and I needed an inspection,” he said. “You don’t want to spend $25,000 or $30,000 and find out you don’t own it.” Beginning on April 9, those buying vehicles from out of province that require restoration will be able to register them immediately. To be eligible, the vehicle must be at least 25 years old and be substantially intact, with more than half the vehicle in an assembled state. Stone said his ministry and ICBC are looking at two more requests: Changing the modified collector-vehicle rules from

the 1958- to 1974-model years, as well as the way replica cars are registered. “That [changing modified collector year] will cap-

ture all the muscle car-era vehicles that are currently popular and more British Columbians are collecting them,” he said.

Stone said the province is also looking at allowing replica vehicles to be registered as the actual model year — a 1932 Ford replica,

for example, would be registered as such, rather than as a 2015 U-Built if it was manufactured and registered this year.

ò Obituaries & In Memoriam ô MARK EDWARD DAVID LITTKE December 28, 1942 – February 10, 2015 Mark passed away in RIH with his wife Deborah, son Jamie and daughter Michelle by his side. He is survived by his wife Deborah, children - Jamie (Beata, Shaylea, Aaliyah, and Finn), Michelle (Greg), Glen (Roxanna Brett) and siblings - Clarence (Maria), Brenda (Jerry), Delbert (Wendy), and Cindy (John). Mark was predeceased by his father Edward in 1993 and mother Irene in 1989. Mark was born in Victoria, BC and moved to Melville, SK at a very young age, then the family moved to Vancouver when Mark was 12. He started Brentwood Enterprises in 1969 in Vancouver, BC with gradalls then moved to Kamloops, BC to work in the pulp mill and moved his business there with him. He started his railroad division Hytracker in 1981. He worked all over the province with both companies - he loved to watch dirt move. He was an avid hunter and fisherman, hunting mostly in the Dease Lake area.

DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE AND WEEP Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glint on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you wake in the morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft starlight at night. Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there, I do not sleep. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there, I did not die!

BOOK ON B.C. BEER

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

GOING GOURMET WITH GREECE Kamloops This Week is amping up its inner foodie in 2015. The biweekly Cuisine page looks a bit different this year. Each month, we will highlight recipes as they correspond to various cultural holidays. Those recipes will come from foodies in the community — from restaurant chefs and owners to home cooks — along with a brief explanation of the dish and holiday. This series will be paired with KTW reporter Andrea Klassen’s beer column on the Cuisine page every second Thursday. Bon apetit! On March 25, 1821, the war for Greek independence began from the Ottoman Empire when Bishop Germanos of Patras raised a flag over the monastery of Agia Lavra, considered to be the symbolic birthplace of modern Greece. There were early

successes and, by 1827, Athens and most of the Greek islands had been recaptured by the Turks. With failure looming, Great Britain, France and Russia intervened, destroying an Ottoman-Egyptian fleet at the Battle of Navarino and, in 1829, the revolution ended.

WINE DINNER FEATURING

A25

March 25 was chosen to be the country’s independence day; a monument on a hill near the monastery commemorates heroes of the revolution. In recognition of this day, KTW spoke to Shawn McLeod, chef at Dorian Greek House Restaurant. This tasty dish may have originated more than four centuries ago, likely introduced to Greece when the Turks had occupied the country. The Turkish dish ispanaki is almost identical in presentation, although it includes scallions. Spanakopita is considered to be a Greek dish and is a staple on the menus of most Greek restaurants. Chefs and food historians have said the best spanakopita is made in Epirus in northwestern Greece.

3 tbsp. olive oil 2 large onions 1 bunch green onions, chopped 4 cloves of garlic, minced 1 box frozen spinach, thawed 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped 1 1/2 cups crumbed feta cheese 8 sheets phyllo dough Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly oil a nine-by nine-inch square baking pan. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute onion, green onions and garlic until soft and lightly browned. Stir in spinach and parsley, continue to saute until water has evaporated. Remove from heat and refrigerate to cool. Once mixture is cooled, stir feta into spinach mixture. Lay one sheet of phyllo in the baking pan and brush lightly with olive oil. Repeat the process with three more sheets of phyllo. The sheets will overlap the pan. Spread the spinach mixture into the pan and fold the overlapping dough over the filling. Brush with oil, then layer on the remaining four sheets, brushing with oil. Tuck the overhanging dough into the pan to seal in the filling. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until golden brown. Cut into squares and serve hot. Serve with tzatziki.

When a copy of Joe Wiebe’s newly-updated Craft Beer Revolution: The Insider’s Guide to B.C. Breweries landed on my desk a few weeks back, I didn’t really think I’d read the whole thing — but that didn’t strike me as an issue. Filled with short, two-page-and-done reviews of many of the province’s nearly 100 craft breweries, and equally digestible historical pieces, Wiebe’s guide to the B.C. brewing scene is made for reading in line at the takeout shop, or flipping through in the midst of planning a road trip. A close, thorough reading isn’t necessarily expected or required. So, of course, I accidentally read the whole thing cover-to-cover. What can I say, I guess I stand in a lot of takeout lines. My personal favourite tidbit: The provincial liquor board used to assign breweries to each pub to “ensure balance” between Carling, Labatt and Molson. Pub owners did not get a say as to which of the big three they’d be offering customers. Kinda makes today’s B.C. liquor laws look . . . well, still confusing, but at least a little less restrictive. Hometown boosters have a lot to like in this book as well, because Wiebe is a big fan of both of Kamloops’ breweries — The Nobel Pig and Red Collar. The latter he goes so far as to call “one

ANDREA KLASSEN

Bad

RIDER of B.C.’s best breweries” — though he and I will have to agree to disagree on what the brewery’s best beer is (he says the Marzen, I’d go with a Dubbel or a Tripel, depending on how much of the night I’m willing to give up). The North Shore’s Red Beard cafe also gets a sly shout out for its selection, though it’s not explicitly named. What’s going to be interesting from here on out is whether Wiebe’s book lands on my desk again in a few year’s as version 3.0. This update, released in early March, comes just about two years after Revolution’s first printing, in which time more than 30 new breweries opened across B.C. Will the pace continue? Even Wiebe’s not particularly sure. Depending on the market, Revolution’s second printing could end up a snapshot of craft beer’s high point, or a continuing illustration of how difficult it is to keep up with the brewing scene’s rapid rise. badrider.reviews

Alaska’s high season is June to Labour Day, but there’s lots of action all year. Dip your toes in the Arctic Ocean, see polar bears around Barrow or run the 187-kilometre Klondike Road Relay Race. There are five main regions — such as the famed Inside Passage — all with their own specialties. The three main cities are Anchorage, Fairbanks and the capital, Juneau (where cruise ships dock and transportation in and out is by air or boat). Each has its own attractions and activities. The climate is milder than many expect. Spring (and rain) arrives in April/May and, in Anchorage, summer highs reach above 20 C, lower in Juneau. September brings rain and first dusting of mountaintop snow around Labour Day before winter beckons. Kodiak Island is home to world-famous brown bears. Take the state ferry to catch a scheduled jet or hop on a bear-view tour or watch moose, caribou or lynx. Alaska’s shorelines have an abundance of marine life with sea lions and walrus. The world’s largest colony of seals — some one million — breed undisturbed on the Pribilof Islands. Whale-watching

is popular, with 16 types of whales identified. Sea otters are entertaining to watch, with some 3,000 eagles in the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve in Haines. Spot magpies and ptarmigan and migratory species such as snow and Canada geese, arctic terns and ducks. Why not pan for gold? You can buy a pan along the Steese Highway. Escorted tours offer excellent value: Full- or half-day tours have specialized narration from experts such as a National Park Ranger, printed wildlife guides to take home and outdoor meal breaks, like after viewing some of the 100,000 glaciers. “Flightseeing,” helicopter and float-plane tours, cover a bit of Juneau’s 1,500 square miles of ice floes, some even landing. • Also note: Specialized gear is usually provided by the tour company. You can rent pretty much anything — bikes, fishing and hunting gear, vehicles, RVs and kayaks (there are three million lakes, 3000 rivers). Alaska’s trails are full of berries but only eat what you can identify as some are edible, but some poisonous. Water streams are inviting: Purify it before you drink it by boiling it for five minutes or by using a pump with a fine filter. You don’t want a case of “beaver fever” (local term for an intestinal bug). — Maritime Travel

• Although you might want to be spontaneous, particularly for a wilderness adventure, plan ahead for seats on the best tours. Be realistic: We know you want value for your money when balancing choices and amenities in your budget. No matter your budget or accommodation mix, aim to relax and enjoy, whether camping or staying at a luxury lodge. • You must have a valid passport. Information is available at ppt.gc.ca/index.aspx?lang=eng. • Check with your bank regarding debit card use (ATMs in major areas) and log the dates you’ll be away with your creditcard company. Take U.S. cash/travellers cheques, although many towns near the border accept Canadian cash. • Internet access is available at most hotels. • Alaska has its own time zone, one hour before Pacific Time. The westernmost is Hawaii-Aleutian Time, two hours earlier. Depending where you go, sunlight lasts 19.5 hours (summer solstice) and 5.5 hours (winter solstice). Above the Arctic Circle, twilight lasts months. • Restaurants, markets and fast food are available in populated areas. • We strongly recommend Maritime Travel medical and cancellation/interruption insurance.

• Travel with a positive attitude — patience and a spirit of adventure will carry you through any experience.

Lace up your hiking boots and dust off the binoculars — since Alaska is the largest U.S. state (twice the size of the next largest, Texas). Bordering B.C. and the Yukon, it’s a wilderness paradise. Or, simply enjoy it by viewing spectacular vistas, such as majestic mountain peaks, from the balcony of a cruise ship (Alaska has 17 of the 20 highest peaks in the U.S.). There’s so much to explore.

39 STEPS TO THE STAGE

WCTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest offering, The 39 Steps, a homecoming of sorts for director DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

lynis Leyshon recalls her first exposure to theatre in

Kamloops. She was with a youngactors touring company that had made a stop in the River City in April, 1974 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and, being the theatrical types, the group discovered the musical Godspell was being performed in the auditorium of Kamloops senior secondary. Directing it was Tom Kerr, a high-school drama teacher in the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was fantastic,â&#x20AC;? Leyshon said. And, although she was unaware of it at the time, it was the beginning of what became a decades-long relationship with what would eventually become known as Western Canada Theatre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What Tom was trying to make here in Kamloops, it was amazing,â&#x20AC;? Leyshon said while taking a break from rehearsals for The 39 Steps, which she is directing and which opens tonight (March 26) at Sagebrush Theatre. Leyshon continued studying her craft, Kerr continued creating a professional theatre for the city and, a few years after seeing Godspell, WCT and Leyshon connected again as thenartistic director Michael Dobbin called his former student at the Vancouver Playhouse Theatre acting school and asked her to come to Kamloops.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had been offered a position with the Playhouse,â&#x20AC;? Leyshon said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here was Michael asking me if I would come here and help start an early version of a subscription campaign. He said if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d do that, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d also give me an acting role. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember we were in some offices downtown somewhere, on a second floor, and there was Michael and he had such big ideas for the company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And there was Julia Mitra [then administrative assistant, among other job titles] trying to keep it all together and going and me running around, going to malls and other places, promoting this professional theatre.â&#x20AC;? Soon, Leyshon found herself acting alongside another mainstay of Kamloops theatre, Lanni McInnes, in Laundry and Bourbon, a presentation she recalls being given in a vacant storefront downtown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a brilliant time,â&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;? i-Leyshon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That experience was so good and it really cemented what has p.â&#x20AC;? p become a long relationship.â&#x20AC;? When Leyshon became artistic director of the Belfry Theatre in Victoria and David Ross had succeeded Dobbin at the helm of WCT, the two worked together on co-productions and, almost 18 years to the month later, Leyshon directed Ross and Janet Michael 1992 in Brendan Behanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Hostage.

heatre-goers will see The 39 Steps as one raucous, farcical play. Gerald King sees it as a series of two-minute skits happening anywhere on the stage of Sagebrush Theatre, each with its own lighting needs. It’s his job to create the lighting, a project he said is almost like using a camera. “Zoom in, pull out, black out. And we’ve used every light they own here, plus we rented some,” he said. When the play opens in preview tonight (March 26) before the grand opening on Saturday, however, King likely won’t be in the audience. Once his work is done, the lighting is all hung and programmed.

A technician will be sitting at the console, headset on to hear directions from stage manager Sarah Minor so she can push the buttons to light the scenes that tell the tale of murderers, secret agents, beautiful women, espionage and slapstick comedy — including an on-stage plane crash. King never planned to spend his career lighting plays. He started out studying the fine arts at university “But, painting, drawing and sculpture were a little to quiet for me,” he said. “I liked the idea of working together with people to create something.” He enrolled in a program at what was then Malaspina College, learning about building and hanging sets, all the back-stage technical components — and discovered lighting. Twenty-two years ago,

Western Canada Theatre’s then-artistic director David Ross called King and asked him to come to Kamloops and create the lighting for A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Since that first experience, he has returned often, creating the lighting for Wit, Educating Rita, Les Miserables, For the Pleasure of Seeing Her Again, UBUNTU (The Cape Town Project) and, most recently, Liberation Days. King said he’s only missed one season at WCT in all that time. He’s worked with various opera and dance companies, as well a Bard on the Beach, Theatre Calgary, the Arts Club, the Citadel Theatre and Theatre Aquarius. For The 39 Steps, King turned to the Alfred Hitchcock-directed play of the John Buchan novel, drawing inspiration from how Hitchcock used his cameras.

From there, King had to really break down the script, knowing the lighting has to not only help propel the play, but has to be in sync with the actors, with the sound effects and other things. “Half of my work is done before rehearsals even start,” he said. King said he doesn’t usually see the plays he’s worked on, largely because he’s been living with them for weeks on end, and hasn’t any particular favourites from his 35-year career. “I like them all. They all have levels of difficulty,” King said. “Some are funny, some are moving. Comedies are nice to work on because, with a drama, everyone just wants to go home when it ends. “With a comedy, it’s so upbeat and happy. “The audience leaves happy. The cast wants to go have a beer.”

Performing against the pipelines

Anyone familiar with legendary punk band D.O.A. knows its leader, Joe Keithley, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mince words. He sings what he feels and he says what he believes. Keithley is taking his viewpoints and his talent on a small tour of B.C., all to spread the message that expanding the Kinder Morgan or building the Northern Gateway pipelines will be disastrous for the province. His tour lands in Kamloops on Thursday, April 2, when he will perform at Heroes Pub on the Thompson Rivers University campus. The show starts at 9 p.m. and admission is $10.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

Left to right: Crooked Fronts, The Caspians, DJ Travis Karst and Full of Excuses will compete tomorrow night (March 27) at the Plaza Hotel.

Which Kamloops act will be featured during the Boogie after party? Boogie the Bridge is about more than running. A flagship event in the Tournament Capital, it also raises funds for community organizations — this year it will contribute to the Family Tree Family Centre and the CMHA youth clubhouse — and gets people moving. And, this weekend, movement might be in the form of dancing during the event’s second annual Boogie to the Beat. Beginning at 7:30 p.m., four acts will take the stage at the Plaza Hotel, all vying for the chance to perform at the Boogie the Bridge after-party on race day, April 26. The battle-of-the-bands-style event will feature three bands and one DJ: Full of Excuses, The

Caspians, Crooked Fronts and DJ Travis Karst. An audience-response meter, supplied by Lee’s Music, will determine which act will be heard live after the mini-, five-, 10- and 21-kilometre walk-run route that takes patrons over Overlanders Bridge. The four acts will all perform along the route during Boogie and at the Plaza throughout April leading up to the event, but only one of them will be featured at the after-party. Tickets are $15 at the door and can be purchased at Lee’s Music, 1305 Battle St., Run Club, the Boogie the Bridge office, 203-242 Victoria St., or at the door. Doors open at 7 p.m.

2015 KAMLOOPS

NOTES ON: FULL OF EXCUSES WHO: Full of Excuses, consisting of Ryan Atzenberger on lead guitar, Dave Watkins on drums, Tyler Hall Chevrefils on bass and Jean-Pierre Champagne on guitar and vocals. WHAT: It is a Kamloops-based rock band founded in 2007. The band put out its first full-length album, Human Genome, last summer and is working on its next one, which is expected to be released some time next year. “That’s basically at the stage of working with a producer and getting ready to record,” Champagne told KTW. When asked about the origin of the band’s name, Champagne said “in the world, there’s a lot of people who are full of excuses . . . we try to represent the people who are not full of excuses. The ones that stand up for themselves and live life in a good way.” WHEN: The band is plenty busy outside of preparing for its next album. Tonight (March 26), it is performing at Off the Charts Penticton Music Competition before joining three other Kamloops acts

Do you need some free legal advice?

Kamloops law students, under the supervision of one of their professors, are providing a free legalinformation service at the Centre for Seniors Information office in the Brock Shopping Centre. The Legal Information Service

Community Based Satellite is not exclusively for seniors and will help connect people with legal information and materials on a range of topics. The service grew out of a workshop last year by Margaret Hall, the teacher who will oversee the Thompson Rivers University lawschool students, and Kelly Melnyk, one of those pursuing a legal education at TRU. The program takes place every second Friday from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. On the Wednesday before each Friday session, a themed workshop will be held at the seniors’ centre on issues including handling health crises and endof-life decisions.

ARTHRITIS

LOCAL NEWS

Pain free in 2 weeks. This is what happened to me personally. I tried drugs, acupuncture, magnets and many other methods. Finally after taking a specially processed shark cartilage I was pain free in 2 weeks. It gave me the idea that I could help thousands of the 5 million men and women suffering daily in Canada with the worst pain on earth to have less pain or no pain at all. Nick A. Jerch, President of Bell Lifestyle. �For 40 years I had injections and drugs and finally Bell Shark Cartilage #1 spared me the endless torture I suffered day and night with 3 bottles costing less than $100. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON. �Cancelled knee replacement. 1 was in pain and limping. Have no more pain now. Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK. �At first I was skeptical. I gradually noticed an improvement. Then I took another brand. I was surprised having so much pain again. Eventually I realized that I needed to re-order Bell. Found relief again. Marie Ciraulo, 72, Oakland, CA. �Many people on our website write: “Can walk again for hours”;”Can climb stairs without #1 NPN 80042283 hanging on to railing”;”First time in 15 years can sleep at night” Rheumatoid arthritis in joints down 90%, same for my sister…Also guaranteed for sciatica. Hundreds of testimonials all with full names and towns. Shark bones/cartilage was a previously thrown away by-product of the food industry. No sharks are caught for their cartilage. Don’t let any activist confuse you.

Great Sex

FOR MEN GUARANTEED

Happiness for couples is a satisfying sex life.

EroxilTM helps most men to perform like in their 20’s. Evidence of a few hundred testimonials on our web site with full names and towns. All 100% true: �Eroxil is the best of all the supplements for men I’ve tried. Boosts my sex drive and I’m able to function anytime. Angus Gutke, 45, Calgary, AB �Regained virility in 3 days. My libido was restored for good sex. I’ve given it also to friends with the same results. One of them is a diabetic and #6 NPN 80051008 overweight. Dr. Louis Rolland, 72, St. Hyacinthe, QC �Having orgasms off the Richter scale. It’s like I’m a teenager again. The world owes you big time.

CLIMBING HIGH WITH KNOWLEDGE

Dreams for Kids Day nears A special group of kids will continue to wing their way to the Magic Kingdom. The Sunshine Foundation of Canada has found a new partner in Papa John’s Pizza for its Dreamlift flight for youth with life-threatening illness or serious disabilities. Dreamlift raises money to send the kids to Disneyland for one day. The flight leaves Kelowna in the earlymorning hours and returns in the evening. “Sunshine and Papa John’s are a perfect fit with shared values of delivering a unique and personal experience and recognizing that people and kids are at the heart of what we do,” said Nancy Sutherland, Sunshine Foundation chief executive officer. In December, Park Inland Restaurants, which owns the Okanagan Wendy’s franchise, decided not to sponsor Dreamlift flights after 20 years. Wednesday, April 29, will mark the first Papa John’s Pizza Dreams for Kids Day in Kamloops (locations on the North Shore and in Aberdeen), Kelowna, West Kelowna and Prince George. The outlets will donate 100 per cent of the proceeds and staff wages to Sunshine’s individual dreams and Dreamlift programs.

The first flight from Kelowna to Disneyland will be in December. “We will emulate what Wendy’s did and they did a great job,” said Sandra Lawrence, co-owner of the Papa John’s franchises in Kamloops and Prince George. “It’s brand new to us and we’re putting it all together as we speak.” Lawrence said the April 29 Papa John’s Pizza Dreams for Kids Day will feature notable people from the community helping out in the restaurants. The partnership between the Sunshine Foundation and Papa John’s has already begun with the sales of the DreamCookie, a large, round cookie cut into pizza-type slices and served in a small pizza box. One dollar from the sale of each DreamCookie will go toward the Dreamlift flight.

Hammoud M.H., Ph.D. recommends this effective fish peptide blood pressure natural product.

After 6 months on Bell #26 I was down to 120/80. Toni L. McCuistion, 52, Elizabethtown, PA � Blood pressure went from 170/110 down to 110/70. Was on three medications that didn’t help. Within a month on Bell#26 my BP dropped to 110/70. I thought I didn’t need it anymore and the BP went up to 170/110 again. I will now stay on Bell. I am surprised about its effectiveness without side effects. Bell exceeds my expectations. Patrick McManus, 52, Edmonton, AB � At work my driver’s medical test was too high at 170/100. After taking Bell #26 for a few days I went down to 128/84 which allowed me to pass my work medical. Kris Geier, 48, Windsor, ON.

Auto show is not just about glitz on wheels

ALEXANDRA STRAUB

DRIVEWAY CANADA

Auto shows dazzle with glitzy expensive new cars, but among them are some hidden less-expensive gems. You can still get a great vehicle with a full warranty — and some perks — for under $20K. Here are five grocery getters with frugal price stickers at the Vancouver Auto Show that that will get you where you need to go — and with a few goodies.

Hyundai Accent $13,249/$13,599

The Hyundai Accent

five-door is quite possibly the best-looking car within its price range. And it’s hard to believe that kind of style comes in under $14K. For that meagre price, you get a standard sixspeed (yes, six) manual transmission linked with a 1.6L, four-cylinder GDI (gasoline direct injection) engine, along with 138 horsepower and 123 pound-feet of torque. Additionally, there’s 600 litres of cargo space. Not bad for such a small car. Then there’s the Accent sedan for those who aren’t on the hatchback bandwagon. The engine specs and transmission are the

Toyota Yaris $14,545

Available in both a three-door or five-door configuration, the 2015

Toyota Yaris fits five people inside, has nine airbags and an very efficient 1.5L, fourcylinder engine producing 106 horsepower under its European-styled hood. Standard features included on the Yaris models come in the shape of a 15.5 cm display audio with

AM/FM, CD and MP3 with USB input and Bluetooth capability, along with power windows and power door locks.

Volkswagen Jetta $14,990

Your eyes are not deceiv-

ing you. The new VW Jetta Trendline is priced as modestly as you see. For that money, you’ll get a standard rearview camera, Bluetooth and six airbags — not to mention a great looking sedan. It’s powered by a 2.0L, fourcylinder engine, which

The Jetta has room for five, a 60/40 split rear seat and 440L or cargo capacity. Furthermore, it comes with revised front and rear fascias, attributing to better aerodynamics and fuel consumption. If 115 horsepower isn’t enough, you’ll need to save your pennies for the next available engine. It’s a powerful 1.8L TSI engine ($22,890.) The 1.8L engine came out last year and delivers 170 horsepower and 184 poundfeet of torque thanks to direct injection and turbocharging.

For 2015, the Focus for Ford is about styling and efficiency. There’s a new look for the Focus sedan and hatchback that includes a re-styled hood, grille, new rear lamp clusters and a restyled trunk lid. You’ll have the option of both a fourdoor sedan or a fivedoor hatch. Standard on Focus for the first time is the rearview camera, which will appear on either a 10.4 cm screen or the 20.3 cm screen that comes with MyFord Touchequipped cars. Inside, colours and materials have a clean, modern look, with satin chrome detailing, new seat trims, switches and an available heated steering wheel. Storage is improved, with a new centre console incorporating adjustable cupholders, and a new, easier-toaccess glove box.
