Woman dies from burns in Riverside Park fire TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
Three Kamloops firefighters were taken to hospital with inhalation injuries after responding to a woman who was on fire in the wee hours of the morning in a downtown park. The woman later died from her injuries in hospital. Kamloops Fire Rescue Capt. Darryl Cooper said emergency crews were called to an area in the west end of Riverside Park at 2:17 a.m. on Tuesday, March 31, for a report of a person in medical distress. “It turned out there was a female on fire,” Cooper told KTW. “It was pretty rough. She was talking, but her lower body was pretty badly burned.” Cooper said firefighters worked to extinguish the blaze. Paramedics then rushed the

woman to hospital. A trio of KFR firefighters was also treated at Royal Inland Hospital after they inhaled dry extinguishing chemicals. Cooper said the firefighters spent the night in hospital and have since been released. None are expected to miss work due to their injuries. Counsellors are available to firefighters who were involved in the traumatic incident. BC Coroners Service spokeswoman Barb McLintock said the woman succumbed to her injuries shortly before noon, and that it is too early in the investigation to suggest her death was suicide. “It is much too early to suggest anything of the kind, and it may well end up being something else entirely, such as an accidental death,” she said. The investigation is ongoing.

In March 2014, the City of Kamloops agreed to BC Transit’s offer of more than 8,000 new hours of service. In March 2015, — Tuesday, March 31, to be exact — BC Transit officials told the City of Kamloops all those hours were being withdrawn because the provincial government has not increased funding to the Crown corporation to cover the costs of adding those transit hours. BC Transit senior regional transit manager Erin Felker was at city council to deliver the news that Kamloops won’t be adding 6,000 hours to regular bus service and 2,500 hours to HandyDART — and does not plan to extend the offer in the next three years. “It’s not just

Kamloops. All BC Transit systems were held to zero expansion hours in this year,” Felker said. Councillors Denis Walsh and Donovan Cavers expressed disappointment in the province’s decisions on transit funding. “What would be the justification for walking away for almost four years?” Walsh wondered, referring to the province’s plan to freeze BC Transit funding until at least the 2018 budget. In March of last year, BC Transit needed an early answer from city council on the additional 8,500 hours because it required lead time to order four new buses — three regular and one HandyDART. The extra hours were set to begin in September of this year and would have added $132,000 to the city’s transit budget in 2015
and $420,000 to that same budget in 2016. In an earlier interview with KTW, Minister of Transportation Todd Stone said the province is asking BC Transit to look for cost-cutting measures and reassess its service levels in communities across the province, a move he said is in line with what the government has asked of other Crown corporations since the last election. Even with a flat budget, Stone said, B.C. will still have a higher per capita spending on transit than any other province. “We’re No. 1 in Canada and will remain No. 1,” he said. Cavers, who called the cancellation of the addition transit hours “extremely disappointing,” wants to see the government reconsider its plan.

WATCHING HIM WORK
The community watches as construction of the Royal Inland Hospital increases its visual presence at the intersection of Columbia Street and Third Avenue. The portraits are of donors to the Royal Inland Foundation and they adorn the outside wall of the existing RIH, which will be expanded with the $80-million clinical-services building and parkade.
The executive who has worked as the B.C. Lottery Corporation’s interim CEO was named yesterday (April 1) as the permanent head of the Crown corporation who will live in Kamloops — fulfilling a political promise made by local MLA Todd Stone. Jim Lightbody has worked for BCLC for 14 years. He was named interim president and CEO more than a year ago following the resignation of Michael Graydon. Graydon came under fire during his tenure for not working in Kamloops and converting the downtown building as head office in name only. Stone said the B.C. Liberal government made it clear it sees Kamloops as the head office, where the CEO should play an important part in work and community life. One-time CEO Vic Poleschuk was an active volunteer, heading up the 1993 Canada Summer Games. JIM “It was drifting away from a head LIGHTBODY office in some respects,” Stone told employees gathered in the downtown building for an event yesterday that included release of a report showing the lottery corporation has had an economic impact of $1.1 billion in its 30-year history in the city. It creates 639 direct and indirect jobs in Kamloops. “Now we’re seeing positions move back to Kamloops and it starts with the CEO,” Stone said. Lightbody said it’s important for the corporation to maintain senior positions in the city. Four of eight senior executives will be based out of Kamloops, as will the next chief financial officer. “BCLC has our head office in Kamloops, always has been, always will be,” Lightbody said. “Therefore, we have to ensure we have the right leadership presence as well.” Mayor Peter Milobar and Stone have both emphasized the importance of senior leaders being based in Kamloops, bringing with them volunteer and leadership skills outside the building. Lightbody said he will purchase a home and be based in Kamloops. His children are grown and his wife will remain at their home in Surrey. “My wife has to look after her elderly parents, but she’ll be coming up to visit,” he said.
Performing-arts centre report to public next week? The wait to learn what a new performingarts centre in Kamloops could look like — and what approaches the city might take to funding it — is getting shorter. On Tuesday, March 31, Kamloops city council discussed a consultant’s report on the proposed centre during an in-camera
meeting, city CAO David Trawin confirmed to media, and decisions made during that closed-door session could be released to the public within a week. Among discussion topics were the various sites in contention for the centre and funding strategies for the building.
The city has three location options for the centre: The soon-to-be-vacated Lake City casino in Hotel 540 on Victoria Street, the former Kamloops Daily News property on Seymour Street and Thompson Rivers University, though the latter option is considered a long shot.

Grandfather gets six months for pot grow Crown and defence lawyers made a joint submission for the six-month jail term — the minimum sentence after the Conservative government toughened the country’s drug laws. Crown prosecutor Anthony Varesi said Clarkson rented the property in Little Fort in the North Thompson Valley for more than 10 years. He was assisted by a female pensioner who earlier pleaded guilty to a lesser role in helping him harvest. Clarkson came under suspicion after police were alerted to the smell coming from the property. They found 150 small plants. At harvest, the value was estimated at $60,000. Varesi said the grow-op appeared

A North Thompson grandfather who started a grow-op to augment his small pension has been given a mandatory sixmonth term in prison. Donald Clarkson, 76, pleaded guilty in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops to production of marijuana and possession for the purpose of trafficking after police raided an outbuilding on his property in August 2013. “My pension wasn’t big enough,� Clarkson told Justice Dev Dley on Monday, March 30. “That’s the only reason I did it.�
to be well organized. Defence lawyer Sheldon Tate said Clarkson lived a modest life, noting there was no evidence he was enjoying the spoils of earlier crops. The trucker who retired more than 10 years ago has a dated and unrelated criminal record. “His motive for committing this crime was to augment his income,� Dley said. “As limited as it might have been, it can only be categorized as a crime of greed and for no other reason.� In addition to the six-month jail term, Clarkson is prohibited from possessing firearms for 10 years and must also submit a sample of his DNA to the national registry.
Iain Scott is charged with first-degree murder in connection to the 2014 death of his estranged common-law wife, Angila Wilson.

The Crown intends to apply to proceed by way of direct indictment against a Clearwater man charged with murdering his estranged commonlaw wife in 2014 — unless assurances are made that the couple’s children will not be called to testify at a preliminary inquiry. Iain Scott, 43, has been in custody since his arrest following an hours-long standoff with police last April. He is charged with first-degree murder in connection to the death of Angila Wilson. Scott appeared by video from a Lower Mainland jail for a Tuesday, March 31, pre-trial conference in Kamloops provincial court. During the brief hearing, court heard Scott has recently fired his lawyer and is in the process of retaining a new one. His preliminary inquiry had been slated to begin on May 25 — a date that would likely not leave enough time for new counsel to be prepared. Crown prosecutor Adrienne Murphy said she plans to seek permission to proceed by way of direct indictment if Scott’s new lawyer does not agree to keep his children off the witness stand during a preliminary inquiry. If the Crown sought and received permission from B.C.’s attorney general to proceed by way of direct indictment, no preliminary inquiry would take place and Scott’s case would head straight to trial in B.C. Supreme Court. Preliminary inquiries are hearings at which the Crown presents its case for a provincial-court judge, who then decides whether there is enough evidence for the matter to proceed to trial in B.C. Supreme Court. In addition to establishing whether there is enough evidence to proceed to trial, preliminary inquiries also give defence lawyers a preview of how the Crown’s case might play out at trial. Scott’s standoff with police began after Clearwater Mounties found the body of Wilson — a 33-year-old nurse who worked at Dr. Helmcken Memorial Hospital — while performing a wellbeing check at her home on April 20, 2014. Scott, who had the couple’s three children, was found at a different home. After an eight-hour standoff, during which the children were released unharmed, Scott was taken into custody. He applied for bail earlier this year, but was ordered to remain behind bars. Scott said he hopes to have a new lawyer retained this week. He is due back in court on Thursday, April 2, to fix a date for a new pre-trial conference.

City council cuts and spends APR. 2,3 & 4 APPROVALS, REJECTIONS ON ROAD TO FINALIZING PROPERTYďšşTAX HIKE andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
And now the good news . . . Kamloops city council got an $800,000 piece of good news at its budget meeting on March 31. Acting director of finance Doug Stewart said a detailed review of properties in the city conducted by BC Assessment in 2014 has turned up $157.5-million in property improvements that were never put on the books, meaning the city will bring in an extra $800,000 in tax revenue this year through rising assessments. Council will decide how to use those extra funds, as well as surplus funds from last year, as budget discussions continue into April. It will also have to decide if it wants to shift how the tax burden falls on various rate classes in the city. For the past few years, council has frozen mill rates — the amount paid per $1,000 of assessment — for heavy-industrial properties as it looks to annex the New Afton mine. Doing so would drop the mill rate for companies such as Domtar from about $80 to $52, according to previous city estimates. The city is set to meet again on the budget on April 14 and adopt its tax rate by May 5. better,� he said. He suggested the city look at replacing the clock faces with a poppy, while Coun. Tina Lange suggested moving the hands to 11 a.m. permanently, a suggestion emailed to her by a member of the public — though, in the end, council voted not to do any improvements, with only Milobar and coun-
cillors Marg Spina and Pat Wallace supporting the request (Coun. Arjun Singh was absent from the meeting). Council also opted not to spend additional funds on downtown beautification beyond the $375,000 it sets aside annually, and to put an already budgeted-for flashing crosswalk at Columbia Street and
11th Avenue, rather than spend additional dollars on a traffic study and full set of lights for the intersection. A few items that passed with thin margins could be revisited in the coming weeks. Milobar said he’d like to see council reconsider $100,000 in trail, parking and green-space upgrades to Rose Hill Park if the final tax hike is higher than desired. Three of the seven councillors present for a debate on a $150,000 retrofit of the B.C. Sheep Breeders Building on Lorne Street weren’t in favour of turning the heritage building into museum storage space (Coun. Donovan Cavers was not present for the debate or vote on that item). Lange said the city should sell the building rather than spend more money on the museum, whose taxpayer subsidy she has criticized in recent months. “It’s got a loading dock, it’s got parking, it’s a great location and we could certainly sell it on the basis that it stays a heritage building,� she said. Coun. Dieter Dudy and Walsh also voted against the project.

Kamloops city council will make two attempts to pare this year’s list of supplementary budget items ahead of its deadline to set the 2015 property-tax rate. After a full morning of debate on Tuesday, March 31, council has yet to tackle a number of high-cost requests — including millions of dollars to speed up snow removal in the city — that could make a big difference to propertytax numbers for the year. Improved snow removal, a request from members of the public, would add a $2-million operational cost to the budget and require another $1 million in capital costs for new snow-removal equipment. Operational costs are generally funded through tax dollars, so the cost of clearing the city’s roads sooner after a snowfall could hike taxes by more than two per cent alone, if the request is approved. Councillors have agreed to meet again to finish dealing with the list of items. However, it’s unlikely the snow-removal idea, or other public requests still left to debate, will find support from many at the table. Instead, Mayor Peter Milobar said he expects council’s next session will be focused on cutting out some of the items it has already agreed to tack onto this year’s budget, to bring down the city’s required tax increase. After Tuesday’s meeting, the increase would be about 2.4 per cent per home, about $40 for an average home assessed at $344,000. “I think we can all agree we’re not comfortable with the number we’re at right now,� Milobar said. Several councillors have previously said they want this year’s increase kept at two per cent or less. Of the items it has considered, council has so far cut only a few that required a major tax draw.

A pedestrian upgrade on Todd Road, which council chose to put off until other repairs on the street are needed in 2019, would have drawn on $410,000 in federal community-works funding.. Council chose not to fund a $90,000 upgrade to the Cenotaph next to Stuart Wood elementary, which would have required about $63,000 in additional tax money, with the remainder coming from a federal government grant and contributions from the local veterans’ organizations. The project would have included upgrades to the fences, benches and park space surrounding the Cenotaph and included about $50,000 to repair the clock on the memorial, which has not worked since it was first set up in the 1920s. Coun. Denis Walsh said repairs to the clock are unnecessary in an age when most people can check the time on their cellphones. “Fifty-thousand dollars to repair a clock that’s not needed, that no one will look at, because there’s not a lot of traffic on Battle Street.

Some transit changes From A1
Cavers put forward a notice of motion for a resolution to be sent to the Union of BC Municipalities on the issue. The motion — which will be debated by council next week — would call on Stone, as well as finance minister Michael de Jong and Premier Christy Clark, to “strongly reconsider” their plans for funding BC Transit. While the promised hours were cancelled, council was told Kamloops transit riders will still see some smaller improvements to service,

The changes, which will affect the routing of some buses and the frequency of others, don’t require additional
funding, senior transit planner Shilpa Panicker told council. “These are not leaps and bounds improvements, they are small improvements in the service,” she said. “They are improvements the public wants.” Among the changes are a reduced route for the No. 4 bus, which

would only serve Thompson Rivers University and Pacific Way rather than venturing downtown, and direct service to TRU from the No. 7. Panicker said the way routes are set up now, both those buses, as well as the No. 9, are following each other back downtown after stopping at the university. “There’s a very obvious duplication of service there,” she said. BC Transit also wants to increase peak service on the No. 1 and 9 routes and add another trip to Batchelor to the No. 14 bus schedule, to break up a four-hour gap in service to the neighbourhood that exists at midday. The changes, which were approved by council, will take effect on the first Sunday of September.

Witness says driver was drinking, smoking pot TIM PETRUK

The driver of a speedboat that slammed into a houseboat on Shuswap Lake in 2010 was drinking beer and smoking marijuana before the crash, a judge has been told. Leon Reinbrecht is on trial in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops, facing one count each of criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm. Ken Brown was killed on July 3, 2010, when the houseboat he was piloting was struck head-on by a speedboat following a postCanada Day fireworks display in Magna Bay. Taking the witness stand yesterday (April 1) was Britney Sundberg, one of three people aboard Reinbrecht’s speedboat when the crash occurred. Sundberg, now 21, was 16 at the time and involved in a romantic relationship with Reinbrecht’s son, Robert. She said she met her boyfriend’s dad for the first time shortly before boarding his speedboat to take in the fireworks display. Sundberg said
Reinbrecht was on the beach with a beer in his hand when she first saw him. “Shortly after that, we went on the boat because we were going to go on the lake and watch the fireworks,” she said, noting about six people were on the boat for the display. “He gave me and Robert a six-pack of Palm Bays,” she said. Crown prosecutor Neil Flanagan asked: “Did you see anybody else consuming alcohol before you got on the boat?” Sundberg replied: “Everybody who got on the boat,” She said the mood on the boat was joyous. “We were drinking, socializing, laughing,” she said. “We were enjoying ourselves. We were all having fun.” Sundberg said Reinbrecht rolled a joint while watching the fireworks. “He grabbed the bag that had scissors, paper and marijuana from the glove compartment in front of where he sat,” she said, explaining Reinbrecht shared the joint with her and his son. After the fireworks, court heard, Reinbrecht returned to the shore

and dropped off his girlfriend, his daughter and his daughter’s boyfriend. “Everybody got off the boat except me, Leon and Robert,” Sundberg said. “We went for a cruise on the lake.” Sundberg said Reinbrecht continued drinking beer when they were back out on the lake. “I don’t remember the exact amount, but it was a fair amount,” she said. “Me, being 16 at the time, he was just fun.
“I was 16. He was fun. Now I look at it and I’m an idiot.” Sundberg said the speed of the boat started to increase and Reinbrecht began making sudden turns. “We were going at a fairly decent speed,” she said. “We were making turns left and right. We were going fast. It was crazy.” According to Sundberg, her boyfriend had to hold onto her so she didn’t “fly out of the boat” while Reinbrecht sped across
the lake. “We started cruising, the speed increases,” she said. “We made a couple turns. He did a donut — just circles, three or four times, going faster. “I remember the boat skipping back and forth and holding on to the boat.” Court heard Reinbrecht was showing the effects of alcohol. “He got more oblivious, he got louder,” Sundberg said. “Because he was drinking, he probably
didn’t know his speed. He was just really loud. “He was very up — like he had a lot of spunk, like he could run a marathon. He was just enjoying himself a lot.” Sundberg said Reinbrecht was trying to get back to the campsite where his family was staying when the collision occurred. “We were looking at the lights along the shore, trying to figure out where we were,” she said. “We were looking for the campsite. He [Reinbrecht] looked back at me and then we hit the boat. “We were inside the houseboat and I was screaming. It was like hitting an invisible wall that was not there.” Previous witnesses have testified the houseboat was dimly lit and difficult to make out in the dark of night. “There was no lights,” Sundberg said. “The houseboat lights turned on a few moments after we crashed into the houseboat.” After the collision, Sundberg said, Reinbrecht rinsed out

his blood-filled mouth with a swig of beer. “I realized I had glass sticking out of my head,” she said. “There was blood everywhere. “I could feel it all over my hands, dripping down my face.” Sundberg said Brown, the houseboat operator, somehow ended up in the speedboat. “I remember Ken crawling towards us — trying to crawl,” she said. “At that point, there was nothing we could do for him. It looked to me like he had no legs. There was blood everywhere.” A few days later, Sundberg said, Reinbrecht gave her and his son a ride from Kamloops to the Shuswap to pick up their vehicle. “He said if we stick together, everything will be OK,” she said. “I didn’t know what to expect. I was 16. I didn’t know anything.” Previous witnesses have also said Brown had been drinking and smoking marijuana prior to the crash. The Crown expects to wrap up its case by the middle of next week.

CANADA POST MUST SPEAK UP Door-to-door mail service is about to go the way of the dodo bird — and, along with it, a sense of safety and security. Canada Post has said it can no longer afford to deliver doorto-door and needs to come up with an alternative model for snail mail. The problem is, no one has a lot of confidence in the new system. Sure, it was only a matter of time before the Crown corporation made this move because it currently has a two-tiered system, with some single-family homes getting door-to-door service while people in newer neighbourhoods or apartments and condos already have to pick up their mail at a central location. Unfortunately, despite efforts to strengthen the newer community mailboxes, mail is still being stolen. Just last month, police busted a Langley home and found 15,000 pieces of stolen mail and another 9,000 pieces in a storage locker — some of which was destined for Kamloops homes. These issues only confirm what many suspect: No matter how strongly built the new community mail boxes are, they will continue to be a target in what has become a lucrative and increasingly sophisticated identity theft industry. Canada Post has promised to consult widely before it fully rolls out community mail boxes in various cities. The changeover is a five-year process and communities can expect to hear when it will be their turn. We don’t want to wait for the inevitable to happen. Canada Post must tell Canadians what it plans to do to ensure mail service is protected. — Tri-City News

More folly from war on pot
D
onald Charles Isadore was given a six-month sentence for killing a woman as he drove down-
town. An unnamed man was given a six-month sentence in a Kamloops court room for sexual interference of his step-daughter. This week, Donald Clarkson — a 76-year-old grandfather — was handed a six-month sentence for doing something an increasing number of experts say is not the demonic activity depicted back in the 1936 movie Reefer Madness. The pensioner was growing 150 small marijuana plants on his North Thompson property, a crime for which he walked into court and pleaded guilty, sparing taxpayers a costly trial. He grew pot for one simple reason — to supplement the pension he now receives. Justice Dev Dley, in sentencing Clarkson, called his action “a crime of greed.” It’s ironic Dley was making this kind of observation just days after provincial-court judges in the province won a battle with the government about their pay and pensions, one that will see judges getting a significantly larger pension than the kind a retired trucker like Clarkson receives. Thanks to the we’re-reallytough-on-crime Stephen Harper government, Dley imposed the mandatory sentence on the septuagenarian. In addition to the six months of residence in Kamloops Regional Correction Centre —
DALE BASS
Street
LEVEL Clarkson was slapped with a decade-long firearms-possession ban — until he is 86 years old — and must submit a sample of his DNA to a national registry. So, Clarkson will now be living among, as fellow reporter Cam Fortems put it, “a lot of nasty people there [KRCC] on remand.” Think lamb and a cave full of lions. I don’t understand marijuana use. I’ve never tried it, have no desire to do so and assign that attitude to the Baptist side of my brain. Decades ago, firmly rooted by my parents’ belief children should go to church every week and some weekdays, too, the Baptist side of my brain also dictated dancing and drinking the demon rum were sins. Most of those synapses have been obliterated, but the marijuana one hasn’t — although I have spent a lot of time since moving to B.C. 16 years ago reading what experts are saying about medical benefits of cannabis. I’ve talked with people who use it to address chronic pain, anxiety disorders and the fear of
the final days of palliative care. I’ve listened to other experts talk about why it should be legalized. Perhaps that’s the lesson from Clarkson’s new reality. If the country’s largest mentalhealth and addiction-treatment centre’s advice was followed, pot would be legalized, rules would be applied, production and sale would be taxed and this grandfather’s actions would become a commercial crime, something more likely to result in a fine rather than half a year in jail with thugs for neighbours. It’s working in Washington state. It’s working in Colorado. The New York Times’ editorial board recently came out in favour of legalization. Even a survey in Harper’s right-wing foundation of Alberta shows a majority favouring decriminalization. National polls show two-thirds of Canadians want marijuana legalized or decriminalized. Clearly, the federal government is behind its people on this issue, with almost 60,000 cannabis charges laid in 2013, the most recent year with available statistics. It seems like a waste of police resources and court time and a failure to identify a new taxationrevenue system. To be fair, Clarkson was growing more than a few ounces’ worth of the plant, but that reality would lead straight back to the federal pension levels — and that’s another column.

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
WE NEED MORE HENRY GRUBES IN EDUCATION Editor: Several decades ago, an older gentleman with a friendly face visited my science classroom at Westsyde secondary, unannounced. He introduced himself as a school trustee and his name was Henry Grube. It was my 15th year in teaching (in several districts) and I had never had a visit by a school trustee before, so I was quite impressed. This gentleman was genuinely interested in what happened in my classroom and he even looked at a stack of marked lab reports and commented on the fact I actually corrected spelling on my Grade 8 students’ work. This fellow was a school trustee/politician for all the right reasons — he genuinely cared about what was going on in schools.
What would happen if every elected trustee and provincial politician was like Henry Grube and actually cared enough about schools that they visited with teachers in their classrooms and truly listened to their concerns? Peter Fassbender, the current minister of education, and his boss, Premier Christy Clark, are so anti-teacher that I can see no positive future in the profession in this province. There is a big, invisible steel wall separating politicians and frontline teachers. Most politicians do not have a clue what it is like to teach a class. (They probably consider they are experts in education because they used to go to a school.) Unfortunately, these same politicians

BASS HITS SPENDING RIGHT NOTE SPREE Editor: Kudos to Dale Bass for her column of March 26 (‘Be afraid. Be very afraid’): Once again, she has exposed the Machiavellian actions of Prime Minister Stephen Harper as he builds on fear and distrust to preserve his empire. The writings of Bass should be required reading for all students. Keep up the good work, Dale Bass and Kamloops This Week. Shirley Rowland Kamloops
make vital decisions regarding funding for the school system. They see school funding as a tax problem, rather than as a vital investment in the future of our society. They apparently believe one can measure accountability simply by using rote, memorybased multiple-choice tests. How do these people get to be in charge of such an important responsibility as education? Why can’t teachers and political decisionmakers work together to make schools and learning conditions better?

Editor: Commenter Mart posted online at kamloopsthisweek.com regarding the cost of $24 million for 30 kilometers of variable speed signs on highways. The commenter said the $750,000 per kilometre cost is ridiculous, but very few have said anything about the City of Kamloops spending $1 million per city block for four blocks of work on Columbia Street. Don Porter Kamloops
Editor: Re: The front-page story in the March 26 edition of KTW (‘SD73 ordered to cut $1.6 million’): I feel the Kamloops-Thompson school district should seriously look at ways of cutting its expenditures. Fees for riding school buses should be brought in, along with parking fees and reduced spending in top management and teacher salaries. A teacher who achieves a master’s degree

in education should not automatically receive a salary increase. Any organization, if not reined in, will increase in size, as the KamloopsThompson school district seems to have done. The B.C. government should limit what school districts can spend, as it has done.
Editor: Regarding the request to have the city install a washroom by the Kamloops Farmers’ Market downtown: By my math, the farmers’ market is open less than five per cent of the yearly hours. Who will use a washroom facility the remaining 95 per cent of the time? Would this mean more city employees to clean and control? Bill McGaw Kamloops

into place in 2012 on the compensation that can be paid to excluded and exempt schoolboard staff. Harper notes in her letter the ministry is predicting a provincialbudget surplus of $879 million. “May we then assume that we can anticipate a lifting of the compensation freeze?” she asked in her letter. The freeze created a challenge for School District 73 in its search for a successor to retired superintendent Terry Sullivan. • Trustees also received a notice of motion to amend their corporate sponsorships and donations policy. The change would address employee-level sponsorships, requiring them to report any gifts they receive in conference packages to their principal or supervisor, who will decide if the gifts will benefit the school system or if the employees can keep them.

Trailer in which children were slain torn down EMILY WESSEL MERRITT HERALD newsroom@merritherald.com
The Telemon Place trailer where Allan Schoenborn killed his three children in Merritt in 2008 is no more than a pile of rubble. On Tuesday, March 31, crews from Arnica Contracting removed the structure with an excavator. As the tragic reminder of a triple KAITLYNNE homicide turned into 10 a growing pile of rubble, neighbours came out to watch and take photos. The demolition is the first step in getting some closure MAX and comes as a relief, 8 according to many who watched the demolition. Other people driving by the area offered a thumbsup, a sign of their approval the vacant CORDON building is no more. 5 The mobile home sat vacant and fell into disrepair in the seven years since the murders.
In January, Merritt city council gave Wayne Pyett, the Lower Mainland-based owner of the property, until March 15 to arrange to have the dilapidated trailer demolished and the property it sat on restored. The demolition took approximately two hours. There is no word on what will be done with the property. Schoenborn was found not criminally responsible by way of a mental disorder for the murders of Kaitlynne, 10, Max, 8, and Cordon, 5. He remains in custody at a Coquitlam psychiatric facility. Schoenborn will be back in front of the B.C. Review Board on April 29 for the third day of a hearing on whether he will be allowed to be released into the Vancouver suburb on escorted day passes. The hearing began in early March and the board has heard from several people involved in Schoenborn’s care, including his case-manager, psychiatrist and anger-management therapist. The hearing will continue, with Crown prosecutor Wendy Dawson expected to introduce evidence from an expert on risk assessments.
An Arnica Contracting excavator tears into the Telemon Place mobile home where Allan Schoenborn killed his three children in 2008. As the trailer was torn apart, personal belongings of Darcie Clark and her three children could be seen strewn about the rubble. EMILY WESSEL/MERRITT HERALD

SPORTS Life of Pye takes World Cup turn INSIDE: RiverDogs face new opposition in 2015| A16

Michelle Pye of Kamloops will referee at the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup. The mother of three didn’t yield her first yellow card until she was 19, when she started officiating in the Kamloops Youth Soccer Association ranks.
It started 17 years ago with a newspaper ad in Kamloops. The story of Michelle Pye’s refereeing journey will reach its zenith at the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup. “It was the epitome of my goal, of all these hundreds of hours that I’ve spent, and all the sacrifices that my family makes for me to be able to do this,” Pye said. “The chance to achieve a World Cup is such a faraway dream. It’s so cool to actually get that opportunity.” The Beautiful Game’s 24-country summit runs from June 6 to July 5 in Moncton, Montreal, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Edmonton and Vancouver. Pye, 36, and 38-yearold Carol Anne Chenard of Ottawa are the two Canadians among the 29 referees appointed to the tournament by FIFA’s Referees Committee, which picks only the best of the bunch from across the globe to work the World Cup. The River City ref didn’t pick up a whistle until she was a 19-year-old student at the University College of the Cariboo, when her mother saw the newspaper ad recruiting officials to take a certification course. Working in the Kamloops Youth Soccer Association ranks seemed like a nice way to earn some extra coin, to help pay tuition. It turned out to be a lot more than that. Pye has climbed the officiating ladder, juggling duties with her family — a husband, a three-year-old daughter and 20-month-old twin boys — and her job as a teacher in Vancouver while honing her craft.
“To get here after so many people thought there was no chance . . . like, ‘You’ve had twins. You had to lose 60 pounds. How can you possibly do this?’ Pye said. “There is no other female international referee in the world who has three kids.” Pye’s husband, Alain Ruch, is a former all-Canadian soccer player with the UCC Sun Demons and a nationalcalibre soccer official. Thoughts of calling games at the highest level became more realistic when Pye refereed at the under-17 women’s World Cup in New Zealand in 2008. In 2010, she worked the under-17 World Cup in Trinidad and Tobago and was appointed to officiate at the Youth Olympic Games in Singapore. Last year, she was part of the crew at the under20 women’s World Cup in Canada. After giving birth to twins, Pye took extended leave following her allotted maternity absence from Handsworth secondary in North Vancouver to ensure she could remain in peak physical condition this year while taking care of three children. There was still another roadblock in her way — Chenard, Canada’s ace women’s soccer referee, who already has World Cup and Olympic
experience under her belt. “Carol is excellent. If they were ever going to appoint two referees from the same country, though, this would be the time. But, there weren’t any favours done because Canada is hosting,” said Pye, one of four female international soccer referees in the nation. “We’re up against the exact same standards of all the referees in the world.” Those standards are exceptionally high. The list of 44 potential World Cup referees was released in December and each of them flew to Portugal in February for sprint, endurance and agility testing. They met minimumrequirement benchmarks or they left their dreams in Faro. FIFA trimmed the list to 29 after the Portugal camp, but the monitoring had just begun. Each referee is required to download and complete six training sessions each week, recording their results using Polar watches and uploading them for review by FIFA. One of those sessions must be a match. Pye patrols the pitch during men’s and women’s soccer games on weekends in Vancouver. The officials will gather again in Zurich for fitness testing, blood work, technical sessions and video analysis that begins on April 18 and wraps up on April 24. Ten days before the World Cup kicks off, there will be one final seminar in Vancouver, where the list of 29 referees will be cut down to 22, with the remaining seven to act as fourth officials at the tournament. “However I can be there, I’ll be totally satisfied with that,” Pye said. “After having the twins, feeling like all you do is
change diapers and wipe noses all day long, it’s an achievement.” As for the pressure of officiating at a World Cup on home soil, Pye acknowledged it will be immense. “There are 40-plus cameras around the field watching every decision we make and we sit in a room after the game with 40-plus referees analyzing the clips and picking them apart,” Pye said. “We’re used to the pressure. Of course, you don’t want to make mistakes in your own country, but I don’t want to make mistakes in any country.” What Pye decides to do on July 6, a day after the World Cup final at BC Place Stadium, is a matter she will have to discuss with Alain. “With the kids, it’s hard for me to have to ask my husband to hold the fort down while I’m off chasing my dreams around the world,” Pye said. “But, you know, the Olympics are in 2016 — and that’s not too far away.”
Extra-time
The all-female officials list for the 2015 World Cup features representatives from 49 countries. There are 44 assistant referees, including two from Canada — 32-year-old Marie-Josee Charbonneau of Mascouche, Que., and 30-year-old Suzanne Morisset of Beauport, Que. Referees are not paid by the game at the World Cup, according to Pye. They receive a per diem each day of the 29-day competition, plus a tournamentbonus fee. Pye is not certain, but she expects the referees’ per diem to be about $100 per day.

The Kamloops RIverDogs will be looking to return to the winner’s circle at the B.C. Minor Baseball Association’s midget AAA provincial championship in 2015, but they’ll have to fight through a new slate of teams to get there. Kamloops’ competition in 2015 will include new teams in Nanaimo, Cowichan Valley, Kelowna/ Rutland, South Fraser and Vernon. The quintet joins returning clubs Kamloops, Ridge Meadows, Tri-City, West Kelowna, Vancouver, Richmond, Chilliwack, Victoria, Aldergrove and Cloverdale. Now with 15 teams, the league will be divided into east and west divisions. Kamloops will play its fellow East Division rivals — Vernon, Kelowna, West Kelowna, Chilliwack, Tri-City, Aldergrove and Ridge Meadows — four times apiece. They will then play two games against each West Division opponent. “It makes for a very tight schedule,” RiverDogs manager Sean Wandler said, noting four-game weekends will be the norm throughout most of the campaign. There will be no free weekends for the RiverDogs to make up rainouts or rest and
Sean Wandler, manager of the Kamloops RiverDogs, discussed his team’s 2015 schedule, which includes games against expansion teams in new divisions.
recuperate once the season starts. There will even be a stretch, from the end of May to the beginning of June, when the RiverDogs will play a mid-week game, bookended by a pair of double-headers on the weekends. “We’re actually playing nine games in eight days there,” Wandler said. “Big-leaguers don’t play nine games in eight days, in most cases.” As a member of the league since the early 2000s, Wandler is of course pleased to see the number
of teams grow. But, he also wonders what it means for the level of play at the AAA level. “It’s always nice to see that bump,” he said. “I guess always the concern though is has it diluted the league? Has it thinned out the competition? “I guess, once we get into the schedule and start playing some games, we’ll find that out.” The RiverDogs’ regular season will get underway on April 25, on the road in Ridge Meadows. Kamloops will play
its first home game at Canada Games field on May 2 against Vernon. Wandler said the Dogs’ travel time will be much the same this year and will come in at about the same cost, too. If there’s a positive change with the new schedule, it’s that the team’s travel is more evenly distributed. Kamloops’ longest stretch away from the Tournament Capital will be seven games and a tournament, spanning from May 15 to June 3. The annual Daley and Company Canada Day Classic, which will run from July 2 to July 5, and the provincial championship, beginning on July 23, are dates that also stand out on the schedule. Though the RiverDogs are coming off a second-place finish at provincials last year, what 2015 will hold for the club remains to be seen. They return seven players and have added six Grade 10s to the roster. Wandler said the hope is to be in the middle of the pack come provincials, with everything coming together at the yearend tournament. “We have a good core group returning,” he said. “We have a lot of good seniors that I think are quite talented. “We’ll compete.”

DAVID KENNETH GECZI
March 2, 1930 - February 20, 2015
David Kenneth Geczi of Kamloops, passed away at age 42 on March 10th, 2015 after a lengthy battle with Huntington’s Disease.
It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Klaus-Peter Fellenz. He will be greatly missed by his wife Elaine, his children Hanns, Mathias, Suzanne, Roswitha and Justin, their spouses Catherine, Lora and Bruce, and step-sons Roderick (Rory) and Nicholas. He was a proud and loving “Opa” to 11 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren, who now live in BC, Alberta and Ontario.
DIANE ALEXANDER March 10, 1962 March 26, 2015
Following his father and grandfather, Klaus-Peter obtained his medical degree in Germany. He then travelled to the United States in 1955, practising medicine in New York, Toledo, and Atlanta, where he completed his specialty training as a paediatrician. He attained his Paediatric Cardiology specialisation at UBC after immigrating to Canada in 1959. He eventually settled in Kamloops in 1961 where he lived and worked for nearly 50 years. His passion for children’s health and well-being was central in his role as a Paediatrician, and also in his many years of service on the Kamloops School Board where he took a leadership role in the healthy children programmes. Elaine and Klaus moved to Summerland in 2009 when Elaine became the United Church Minister in Peachland. Klaus enjoyed reading, and riding his beloved scooter around the countryside and to local wineries in Summerland so much that he had to replace the original one. Klaus-Peter was a pioneer in paediatric cardiology, and his legacy lives on in the hundreds of people who would not have survived had it not been for his skill and commitment to his patients. A service will be held in his memory at the Peachland United Church, on Saturday, April 11, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. If you have memories that you would like to share, please send them to Dr.KlausFellenz@outlook.com

Each Loss ... Each loss is very different, The pain is so severe. Will I ever stop missing This one I loved so dear? Good times we had together, The moments that we shared We didn’t have to tell each other How much we really cared. I never dreamed you’d go away, Never thought of sorrow. So sure you’d always be here Took for granted each tomorrow. Now my life is all confused Since you went away. You took a part of me And for help I daily pray. But when God sent you to me He never said that you were mine, That I could keep you always – Only borrowed for a time. Now, He’s called you home, I’m sad and I shed tears. Yet I’m glad He loaned you to me And we had these many years.

In 1948 she met her one true love, Joe Maurer, who also worked at Tranquille as a building service worker. They married on April 12th, 1950. Edna was well known as the manager of the Woodwards Food Counter and was famous for her amazing strawberry pie. Edna had many interests and hobbies. She loved to go up north with Joe to fish for Steelhead and Spring Salmon. She enjoyed travelling to visit her family and friends. She had a passion for quilting and was always on the lookout for Phentex Wool to make her signature slippers. She leaves behind an amazing collection of family photo albums as she always had her camera handy. She was a terrific hostess and loved cooking, canning, and baking food for family and guests. Edna really enjoyed doing word search puzzles but one of her absolute favorite things to do was to play crib with Joe. Edna is survived by her loving husband Joe, their five children and their spouses: Gerry (Judy) Maurer of Smithers, Elaine (Richard) Horning, Marie (Rod) McCaskill, Wayne Maurer, David (Andria) Maurer and their 12 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren. There are not enough words to describe Edna but a few would be: loving, caring, supportive, patient, devoted and wise. Edna came from a very large family of twelve brothers and sisters. She is predeceased by one sister and three brothers. Edna passed peacefully surrounded by her family. She maintained a positive attitude and was lovingly visited by family and friends during her short stay at the Ponderosa Lodge. The family would like to extend a warm thank you to the staff at the Ponderosa Lodge and Royal Inland Hospital.
Edna is cherished and loved by all who knew her and will never be forgotten. Prayers will be held Monday, April 6th at 7:00 pm and the Funeral Mass will held Tuesday, April 7th at 11:00 am, followed by a reception. All to be held at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, 635 Tranquille Road. The Burial will be at Hillside Cemetery. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society. Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

Footprints
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two set of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. “Lord, you said that once I decided to followed you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me.” The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”

JOHNSON LAKE: CARIBBEAN OF THE NORTH TERESA CLINE
SPECIAL TO KTW
teresathetraveler.ca
Johnson Lake is one of the clearest and most stunning lakes in British Columbia. Due to the presence of limestone, the water is turquoise-blue, much like the Caribbean Sea. Combine this with the long stretch of white sand beach that extends far into the shallow waters at the east end of the lake and it is no wonder the lake has earned the nickname Caribbean of the North. At an elevation of 3,800 feet, the lake, which is supplied by underground springs and winter
WINE DINNER FEATURING
snowpack, is more than five kilometres in length, with a maximum depth of approximately 200 feet. The clarity of the water makes Johnson a kayaker’s paradise and gives fishermen an unfair advantage as 3.5-pound Kamloops trout can be seen swimming around. The fish are plentiful thanks to a short spawning channel that links Little Johnson Lake to Big Johnson Lake. This spawning bed springs to life in May and June, with hundreds of rainbow trout laying their eggs in the gravel. These eggs hatch in the summer and the fry return to the big lake in the fall
through a specially built fish ladder. For those wanting to stay overnight, Johnson Lake Resort is on the shores of Little Johnson Lake and a two-minute walk to Big Johnson Lake and offers cabins, RV sites and campsites. The resort also has kayaks and boats for rent, as well as complimentary row boats for use on the small lake. With no cell service and Internet and power only available in the lodge and in one cabin, the resort really allows you to escape the outside world. For more information, go
online to johnsonlakeresort.com. If you just want to camp, there is also a provincial campground at the other end of the big lake. Sites are on a first come, first served basis and include a camping fee, which will be collected at your site by an attendant. Checkout time is noon, quiet time is from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. and campers are allowed to stay for up to 14 consecutive days, with a maximum of one vehicle allowed per party.
How to get there:
Access to Johnson Lake is via a good gravel road suitable for cars,
motor homes and trailers. The driving time from both Kamloops and the Shuswap is approximately 1.5 hours. From Kamloops: Drive 60 kilometres north on Highway 5 North to the Agate Bay Road turnoff. Turn right and drive 22 kilometres on pavement to the Minova Road turnoff. Turn left and drive 16 kilometres on gravel to the resort, following the signs. To get to the provincial campground, drive six kilometres past the resort to the other end of the lake. teresathetraveler.ca

Human-trafficking, Iraq, Syria price tag to reach prostitution ring $406M in coming year: Kenney busted by authorities WAR ON ISIL
MURRAY BREWSTER
THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Canada’s war in Iraq and Syria is expected to cost more than half a billion dollars by this time next year, Defence Minister Jason Kenney revealed yesterday, one day after federal budget reports stamped the estimate as secret. Of the total, $406 million is expected to be spent in the new budget year that began April 1, on top of the projected $122.5 million that was set aside in the fiscal year that just ended. Those are the incremental costs — the amount of money the Department of National Defence spends over and above the routine expense of maintaining an army. The federal Treasury Board’s plans and priorities report for
the coming fiscal year, released Tuesday, showed the price tags for overseas operations in both the Middle East and eastern Europe were classified. Both opposition parties complained, calling the decision to hide the dollar figures unacceptable, but Kenney said the information simply wasn’t available when the estimates were completed in early March. The $528.5-million estimate is likely not the last word on the question of costs, because there will be tear-down expenses should the next federal government decide to end the combat mission next March. “I offer a caveat. That number will obviously change,’’ Kenney said on the way into question period. “If the past is any guide, it’ll change upward, but that’s our
best estimate. And it’s on that basis that cabinet approved additional funding.’’ Last month, the parliamentary budget office estimated in a February report that one year of combat operations would cost between $242 million and $351 million. Both Kenney and Prime Minister Stephen Harper suggested there was no attempt to hide the figure, claiming it was released last week. A spokeswoman in Kenney’s office said the numbers were revealed during a conference call with ethnic media, which took place around the time the Commons was debating the motion to extend and expand the deployment. The estimates also keep secret the cost of Canada’s contribution to NATO’s reassurance mission in the new budget year.
Son of Canadian diplomat killed, another arrested THE CANADIAN PRESS
MIAMI — A reported marijuana deal gone wrong resulted in gunfire, blood and a tragedy that has struck the family of a highranking Canadian diplomat in the United States. Canada’s top diplomat in Florida has lost her elder teenage son, while her younger one has been arrested in connection with a reported Miami drug deal that turned violent. Roxanne Dube began her posting there as Canada’s consul
general only six weeks ago. “I’m in a very bad state,’’ said Germano Wabafiyebazu, the father of the two teens and her former partner, who lives in Ottawa. “Listen, to see an 18-year-old child who was suddenly killed. “When someone is ill, you can gradually get used to the idea that there’s no hope, but this is a child in good health, so it’s a shock.’’ Wabafiyebazu said he was advised by a family lawyer yesterday to stop talking to the
media about the incident or his sons. Media reports said the slain son was 17 and his brother 15. Their mother arrived to her posting in Miami earlier this year, after having been appointed in November 2014 and having served as ambassador to Zimbabwe from 2005 to 2008. Two people were killed during the incident — including Dube’s son, according to local media reports that said a fourth male was wounded and was later found at a gas station.

Police say the cross-Canada operation stretched from Halifax to Vancouver MONTREAL — The RCMP says it has broken up a Canada-wide prostitution ring that allegedly smuggled as many as 500 Asian women into the country over an unspecified period. Federal authorities announced yesterday they had broken up two major cells of the network in the last five days and arrested six people in the greater Montreal and Toronto areas. The accused are allegedly part of an Asian-based organized crime ring that operated in Halifax, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver. They face a host of charges including procuring, procuring minors, advertising sexual services and gaining a material benefit from sexual services. Police said the alleged victims, mainly from Korea and China, received assistance from a criminal organization to enter the country and were then controlled and exploited by the prostitution ring. Two alleged ringleaders were arrested and flown to Montreal from Toronto yesterday and are to appear in court today, while police are seeking two other suspects. Authorities said they also seized two vehicles, an important sum of cash, computers and cellular phones. — The Canadian Press
Wynne calls Indiana law ‘discriminatory’
TORONTO — Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne, who is gay, is urging businesses upset by a so-called religious objections law in Indiana to set up shop in her province. The Indiana law, which takes effect July 1, does not specifically mention gays and lesbians, but critics say it is designed to protect businesses and individuals who do not want to serve gays and lesbians. Wynne said it’s completely unacceptable that in the twenty-first century such a “discriminatory law’’ would be in place and would be used to divide people and create hostility. She said she’ll raise the controversial law with Indiana Gov. Mike Pence if he attends this year’s meeting of Great Lakes governors and premiers. Wynne said Ontario does “a fair bit of trade’’ with Indiana, and while she didn’t threaten to curtail that business, she did urge companies looking for a more open, non-discriminatory jurisdiction to consider her province. Pence said Tuesday he stands by the law but acknowledged that Indiana has a “perception problem,’’ and urged lawmakers and business leaders to address concerns that the

Wreckage removed from Halifax runway
HALIFAX — An airport official says the wreckage of an Air Canada plane that crashed in Halifax on Sunday has been removed from the runway. Spokeswoman Ashley Gallant said the battered wreck of Flight 624 was taken off the tarmac at Halifax Stanfield International Airport sometime overnight yesterday. Gallant said that means it can be inspected to determine if the landing strip needs any work before being reopened to air traffic. The removal came a day after the Transportation Safety Board said it had finished its examination of the site where the plane slammed into the ground and then skidded down the runway. The board said it will maintain possession of the aircraft for further examination as it investigates what happened. The Airbus A320 was flying from Toronto when it touched down 335 metres short of the runway and skidded on its belly for another 335 metres before coming to a stop. All 133 passengers and five crew on board survived, although 25 people were sent to hospital. — The Canadian Press
Here comes the brand new flavour in your cup
OAKVILLE, Ont. — Tim Hortons is pouring a new cup of joe starting this week as it looks to attract coffee connoisseurs from some of its competitors. The Canadian chain said it will begin testing its first single-origin coffee in five markets across select parts of the country. The flavour is called Three Peaks Colombian, and it’s being sourced from Cauca, Colombia. Tim Hortons has traditionally served a coffee blend of beans from serveral sources in different countries. Last year, the company rolled out a dark roast in an effort to give customers more options. The company said it will test the new coffee in five markets across the country over an eight-week period, covering Sudbury and North Bay, Ont; Saint John and Moncton, N.B; and Abitibi, Que. — The Canadian Press

estern Canada Theatre is celebrating 40 years of history by focusing on just that — moments in its past that have resonated and are worth revisiting in some way. There are three predominant themes to the season: old favourites and their next chapters, celebrating the heritage of a long-time performer and building on traditions. See MISS, page B2

Miss Caledonia to open WCT season From page B1
In announcing the new season, artistic director Daryl Cloran said productions at Sagebrush and Pavilion theatres in the new season will also travel from the West Coast to the East, “crossing the entire country to celebrate the great productions this company creates.” Opening the season in September at Pavilion Theatre will be Miss Caledonia by Melody Johnson, the story of farm girl Peggy Ann Douglas, who longs to succeed on the pageant circuit to help her escape the farm life and find her way to Hollywood. It’s a new Canadian play, Cloran said, continuing WCT’s history
of bringing new works to public attention. It will run from Sept. 10 to Sept. 26 and will star Holly Lewis. Next comes the sequel to a popular WCT production. Don’t Dress for Dinner is the sequel to Boeing Boeing, part of the 2013-2014 season. With this instalment, now-married Bernard is still a cheating lothario, using his best friend Robert to help him escape from the wife to spend a weekend with his mistress, Suzanne. Add in a new cook named Suzette and it’s “just a whole lot of fun,” Cloran said. It will feature much of the Boeing Boeing cast. Don’t Dress for Dinner will run from Oct. 8 to Oct. 17 at
Sagebrush Theatre. The Christmas production follows the WCT tradition of a big musical family fare with Mary Poppins. Yes, Cloran said, Mary will fly through the air with her umbrella. It runs from Nov. 26 to Dec. 8, also at Sagebrush Theatre. I’ll Be Back Before Midnight kicks off 2016. Cloran said WCT surveyed a variety of people for the one production that stuck in their mind — and the 1980 play was the winner. Written by Peter Colley and directed in Kamloops back then by Michael Dobbin, it’s a thriller Cloran said will make audience members want to keep
the lights turned on as Jan and Greg rent an isolated farm for a holiday, only to discover blood on the floor, a hand in the window, strange heartbeats and other suspenseful moments. It runs at Sagebrush Theatre from Jan. 28 to Feb. 6. Another WCT favourite is next on the schedule with A Closer Walk with Patsy Cline at Sagebursh Theatre from Feb. 25 to March 5. There will be plenty of music, said WCT general manager Lori Marchand, as the audience follows the legendary country singer from small-town Virginia to Carnegie Hall. A play by WCT stalwart Janet Michael
will be at Sagebrush Theatre next. Habib’s Unforgettable AllNight House Party draws from Michael’s background as her Lebanese family moves to Newfoundland, where they run the local store. The party in question is to celebrate the parents’ 40th anniversary and it’s an evening of music, fun and family. It runs from March 31 to April 9 The season ends at Pavilion Theatre with In A Blue Moon by Lucia Frangione. It’s the story of Ava and her daughter, Frankie, who move to a home in Kamloops and learn to deal move on after the death of their husband and father. It will star Anita Wittenberg and Emma Tow It runs from April 28 to May 7. Continuing a fam-
ily focus, the theatre will partner with acting students from Thompson Rivers University to present The Velveteen Rabbit on May 28 and June 4 at Pavilion Thetre, with a target audience of those three to eight years old. It will also host the fifth annual Halloween Family Dance Party at Pavilion Theatre from 10 a.m. to noon on Oct. 31. The High Wire Festival will present three plays in development, each with a First Nations connection. On Sept. 27, there will be a reading of The Language Reclamation Project by Laura Michel, a script focused on the Secwepemc language and drawn from interviews the members of that First Nation. On Oct. 4, an adaptation by Cloran of the Gail Anderson-Dargatz novel The Cure for Death by Lightning will
be read. It tells the tale of life in Turtle Valley just after the end of the Second World War, where children on the reserve go missing and a predator pursues the main character. And on Oct. 24, Oct. 26 and Oct. 28, the Corey Payette play Children of God will be workshopped. Marchand said it’s a musical based on life in residential school, adding she’s keen to see how it unfolds. Each main production will be shared with other theatre companies across the country, including 1,000 Islands Theatre near Kingston, Vertigo Theatre in Calgary, Gateway Theatre in Richmond, the Arts Club in Vancouver and the National Arts Centre in Ottawa. Tickets are on sale now at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-3745483, kamloopslive.ca.

SAX AND THE SYMPHONY
JULIA NOLAN TO JOIN KAMLOOPS ORCHESTRA FOR SHOW DALE BASS
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
J
ulia Nolan can credit her career to a surfeit of flutes. A flutist herself, taking up the instrument while in high school, Nolan applied to a music school after graduation — and didn’t get accepted. “They said they had too many flutes and they needed saxophone players. So I said I’d switch and they said OK,” Nolan said. “I offered to make the switch because I had heard a heck of a lot of flute players that played better than I did back then.” Nolan wasn’t a fan of the sax, calling it “gawky and awkward and it made loud noises,” but she soon decided she liked it, finding the alto sax in particular appealing because, she said, it’s more like a voice. Nolan and her sax are heading to Kamloops next month for a performance with the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra in its classic series. A Montreal native, she made her way to Vancouver again due to musical influences. Nolan said she was tired of her hometown, found nothing appealing about the Prairies and an audition in Toronto left her not liking the vibe. Determined to find a big city and a postsecondary institution that offered a bachelor’s degree in music, she crossed the country, got her degree and went on to get an MA and a Ph.D in music, as well. Now, she teaches at the University of British Columbia and, because saxophonists aren’t a regular member of an orchestra, Nolan is a freelance musician, playing with the Al Matheson jazz band in Vancouver, joining orchestras like the KSO for special performances and travelling around the

Also on the program are two Tchaikovsky words, Capriccio Italien and Symphony No. 4.

The Blackbox Theatre at Thompson Rivers University is set to host the 16th annual Directors’ Festival, a time when senior students in the theatrearts program choose a one-act play, cast it with other senior students, get it through rehearsals and then onto the stage for the public to see.

Honda Canada planning first exports to Europe Trade deal with EU opens doors for Canadian automakers COLIN PERKEL
THE CANADIAN PRESS
ALLISTON, Ont. — Honda Canada plans to take advantage of the still-to-be ratified free-trade agreement with the European Union to produce vehicles for export to Europe for the first time, the auto company announced this week. Speaking at his flagship manufacturing plant, Honda CEO Jerry Chenkin said the Canada-EU trade deal is the “catalyst’’ for the plan to export the next generation of the company’s CR-V cross-over to Europe. “Exporting 40,000 Canadian-made vehicles per year to Europe is good for Honda and it’s good for Canada.’’ It’s not clear when Europeans, who Chenkin called among the most discerning customers in the world, will be able to buy the vehicles, but everyone at Honda Canada, he said, is “eagerly awaiting’’ ratification and implementation of the free-trade deal. Honda, the first Japanese auto company to build vehicles in Canada, previously announced upgrades to its Alliston factory. The CR-V export pro-
duction will rely on those investments, rather than on a new infusion of money. Still, Prime Minister Stephen Harper called the announcement a “breakthrough moment.’’ “Europe will accept a great many Canadian-built cars — no less than 100,000 — thousands of which are going to be from right here at this plant,’’ Harper said. “It’s because our government negotiated a freetrade agreement that, in the years to come from this plant, cars built right here in Canada by a Japanese company will then be exported virtually tarifffree to Europe, one of the world’s wealthiest, richest markets.’’ The free-trade deal calls on Europe to scrap a 10 per cent tariff on passenger vehicles, but it remains unclear when it will take effect. Canada now has freetrade agreements with 43 countries compared with five when his government took office, Harper said. The prime minister was more reluctant to discuss the situation at the General Motors auto plant in Oshawa, which may not continue production past 2016.
BUSINESS WIRE PHOTO
Jerry Chenkin, president and CEO of Honda Canada Inc., announced this week that Honda Canada will produce the nextgeneration CR-V model for the European market. The move was made possible thanks to a trade pact between Canada and the European Union.
“Companies make these individual decisions,’’ he said. Across the country,
Honda Canada employs about 19,000 people. It can make about 390,000 Civics and CR-V models a year
and has just built its sevenmillionth vehicle. The company has invested more than $3.9
billion in Canada and spends about $2.1 billion a year on goods and services from Canadian suppliers.
