If there’s another Nerf-gun war in Westsyde in the future, it will happen without Mitch Harlock. The Westsyde teen died on Sunday, April 12, after a four-year battle with cancer. Along the way, the Harlock family has shared their story with their family, friends, neighbours and an ever-growing extended family kept updated by the Mitchell’s Marathon Facebook page. On it, mom Gina documented her son’s ups and downs. See MITCH’S STORY, A2
WESTSYDE POOL MAY CLOSE FOR A YEAR Kamloops council will be asked today to close Westsyde Pool from June of this year until September of 2016 so the aging facility’s roof can be replaced. The projected cost to remove and replace the roof over the indoor pool is between $1.3 million and $2.1 million, depending if heating, ventilating and airconditioning upgrades are included in the project. A leak in January forced temporary closure of the pool, which resulted in a $30,000 repair job. The pool closes each year in July and August, when outdoor pools in McDonald Park and Brocklehurst open. According to a report from parks, recreation and cultural-services director Byron McCorkell, only the pool would be affected by the closure.
The rest of the building, including the fitness centre, change rooms, lobby, hot tub, sauna and steam rooms, would likely remain open. Following the January leak, RDH Building Engineering was brought in to examine what a permanent fix would entail. McCorkell said the investigation uncovered the failure of the vapour-barrier system (a caulked plywood-sheet system), that was installed when the building was constructed in the early 1970s. The warm, moist air impacted the main structural glue-laminated beams, the twoby-six ceiling joists, the metal support system and the ceiling materials to the point that they no longer function as intended and create a potential risk for occupants in the pool area. While the recommendation is to close
the pool for more than a year while the roof is fixed, council has been presented with a list of alternatives/options: • Close the pool area permanently; • Remove the roof and explore outdoorpool option and cost savings; • Consult with the public on an upgrade of the building as part of a planned roofreplacement project to identify potential new programs, services or revenue opportunities. If city council decides to go with the recommendation to fix the roof and close the pool until September of 2016, swimming lessons and aquatic programs will need to be moved to the Canada Games Pool at the Tournament Capital Centre. The city would save $170,000 during the closure based on operating costs of $300,000 and revenue of $130,000.

A 44-year-old father convicted in a second trial of beating his girlfriend to death with a hammer and hiding and later dumping her body has been given a life sentence with no chance of parole for 13 years, two years less than after his first trial. Robert Balbar was convicted in December in the beating death of Heather Hamill. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Elizabeth Arnold-Bailey’s ruling yesterday means Balbar will potentially serve two years less time in jail than was given after his first trial. After his first conviction in 2009, the sentencing judge ruled Balbar not be eligible for parole for 15 years. Balbar has been in jail for more than seven years, making him eligible for parole in 2021. “Mr. Balbar was aware of how vulnerable she was,” ArnoldBailey said. See BALBAR, A7

Through the years since, local firefighters — dad Will works for Kamloops Fire Rescue — held fundraising dinners, arranged for special events and organized many events to ensure the Harlocks had days that would create happy memories. Others also stepped up, ensuring the Harlocks and two other Westsyde families with children dealing with cancer had surprise treats every day in the weeks leading up to Christmas last year — tiny gifts, casseroles, things to make their lives a bit easier.

2141 TO BE BACK ON TRACK BY JUNE DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
A
l Levy remembers the day the 2141 steam engine was moved from Riverside Park. It was Nov. 4, 1994, and, as a volunteer for Shaw Cable, Levy was at the park to record the trip the heritage engine would take as it was moved east to its new home on River Street. “My fingers were freezing,” Levy said. “But, it was kind of interesting and I knew they needed volunteers and I though I’d better join up now. “Best thing I ever did.” Twenty-one years later, the 89-year-old is still spending plenty of hours with the old steam engine. His goal is the one everyone in the Kamloops Heritage Railway Society has — to get the engine and its cars back on the tracks by June. Levy and the others are in the final stages of repairing the 102-year-old engine that was parked in 2013 when Transport Canada told the society it needed work to pass an inspection and get an operating licence renewed. Glen Wideman, another long-time volunteer, said the goal is to meet a June 19 deadline when a special ceremony is planned in the city.
DAVE EAGLES/KTW Al Levy reflects on the project to get the 2141 steam locomotive up and running again. To see more photos, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com.
It means volunteers are working on the engine almost every day, testing the tubes that are essential for the smoke box, getting the boiler ready and making sure every working component will do just that — work. “As soon as they’ve got this thing puffing steam, they can relax,” Wideman said “Although most of them can’t because they’re part of the operating crew, too.” Re-opening the station office is also on the to-do list, likely some time in May — but it is likely it won’t be running as it has in the past. Wideman said the society will “ease into things” after the past many months of fundraising.
At one point, the expected repair bill was $400,000, but the final tab was lower, albeit still in the six-figure range. By last December, the society had spent about $250,000 thanks to fundraising, a grant from the city and finding local companies that could do the work society members first thought could only be performed on the Coast. “It’s been a big job,” Wideman said, noting it has come with hurdles. The needed tubes were ordered last June and delivery was promised by August, but they arrived last month. One of the crucial last steps was almost derailed for a while this month when volunteers discovered some key tools that have always been at the workshop had been swapped out for others of a different size. The missing tools were a unique size, Wideman said, and, while he didn’t want to speculate on where they went, he’s pretty confident they weren’t just misplaced. Today, the society takes another step in getting the engine running with a 3 p.m. meeting with city council. Wideman is optimistic council will continue to support the train. Levy can’t wait. “It will be good to ride it again and not be working on it,” he said.

City of Kamloops Spring Cleaning Street Sweeping Notice Weather permitting, City crews will begin spring sweeping of streets in the valley bottom and working into the higher elevations throughout the City. The Spring Sweeping program on average requires 6 to 8 weeks to complete. In an effort to reduce sweeping time and costs, signs will be posted in the areas that are being swept advising the public not to park on the street. Some high density areas will have parking restrictions posted and/or notices delivered in advance of sweeping, for example, downtown east. Residents who wish to sweep the area in front of their property are advised to remove the pile of sand accumulated as these piles can damage a sweeper, and operators are instructed to swerve around such piles. Your co-operation is appreciated. Inquiries can be made by calling 250-828-3461.

James Thomsen hasn’t been impressed with the City of Kamloops’ approach to Seymour Street over the years. “The city has ignored Seymour forever,” the owner of the Zoo and Kamloops Cigars and Pipe told KTW. “They never put any money into it. “We’ve got like seven trees on the whole thing.”
Thomsen is hoping that will change if the city moves ahead with a $90-million performingarts centre and parkade, which would be built across the street from his business, on the site of the now-definct Kamloops Daily News. “I’m all for it,” he said. “As long as they make the street look pretty.” Other businesses on Seymour said they are pleased at the possibility of a major development not centred on Victoria Street. “It’s a huge opportunity for this area,” said
Natalie Harlow, a stylist at Ardeo, whose windows at the northeast corner of Seymour and Fourth Avenue look out onto the front entrance of the now-closed newspaper building. Joey Beltrano, general manager of the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel on St. Paul Street, which faces the Daily News’ parking lot, said the centre would offer more activity for hotel guests and something nicer to look at than “a derelict building and an empty parking lot.” But, Beltrano added, he doesn’t think the
effect on the downtown will be contained to those streets bordering the site. “I think it’s going to benefit the downtown core, period,” he said. “I think it’s going to have an impact on all properties, not just our property.” Thomsen believes the proposed 350-stall underground parkade will be better for the flow of traffic downtown than the last parkade plan the city floated — an above-ground site on Lorne Street — because visitors will have to walk around a larger swath
of the downtown, even if they’re headed for Victoria Street. Coun. Tina Lange, who has unsuccessfully petitioned for beautification projects on Seymour Street through multiple city budgets, believes the project will encourage more firsttime visitors to downtown to stop and see the core, rather than drive through. “If you drive along Seymour Street and you’ve never seen it before, and that’s your impression of downtown Kamloops, it’s dismal,” she said.

BRIEFS driving against a man in his early 20s are pending following an accident in downtown Kamloops on Saturday morning. RCMP Staff Sgt. Edward Preto said a car crashed into a building at the corner of First Avenue and St. Paul Street at about 6 a.m. Air bags prevented serious injury from
befalling the driver and his passenger, also a man in his early 20s. Preto said the driver had been drinking and was brought to the RCMP’s Battle Street detachment and given a breathalyzer test, the results of which have led to the impaireddriving charge recommendation. The crash resulted in extensive damage to ground-floor office of Twin Rivers Dental.

STAFF REPORTER
“Kamloops’ fun, safe self-defence classes help kids boost their self-esteem”
DALE@kamloopsthisweek.com
Data collected during a review of president Alan Shaver won’t be released to faculty at Thompson Rivers University. Brian Ross, chairman of TRU’s board of governors, said a request by journalism assistant professor Shawn Thompson to release the information has been denied. Ross said Thompson was asking the university to violate an employee’s right to privacy. Thompson conducted a survey after Shaver’s contract as president was renewed, with 90.9 per cent of respondents agreeing the statistics should be released. He emailed a link to his survey to 650 faculty members and had 154 replies. Twenty-eight anonymous comments were also received on the matter, ranging from “we need to trust” the review process to “what are they afraid of?” Thompson pursued the issue, sending a letter to the board of governors. It was on the agenda for the March 27 meeting but, he said, he received a letter three days before then from Ross’s law firm of Fulton and Company, advising him his request was being denied under the freedom-of-information regulations. Thompson had made his request under a specific clause that addresses public interest being an overriding factor, but Ross said TRU treats all employees equally and that the cited clause only deals with public interest related to health and safety issues. The clause also includes “the disclosure of which is, for any other reason, clearly in the public interest,” Thompson said. When asked about the negative comments, Ross noted the university has a combined employee complement of more than 1,000 people “and you’re not going to please everybody.”

Fraudster gets house arrest AND HE MUST REPAY SENIOR $21K HE BILKED FROM HER CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
A B.C. Supreme Court justice has sentenced a fraudster who stole more than $21,000 from a Clinton senior to a year of house arrest. The scammer has also been ordered to repay his victim. Darren Sidwell pleaded guilty to fraud for misleading a 76-year-old woman with a series of stories about unnecessary work at her home. He later manufactured family medical and other crises for which he needed drug money. That included a story his daughter was in B.C. Children’s Hospital. None of it was true. “He put a hole in the heart of a nice person who just wanted to assist him,” Justice Terrence Schultes said. “That hurt goes on every day.” The Crown and defence argued last week for a one-year conditional sentence, differing only in house arrest versus a lighter curfew provision. Schultes warned them he thought that sentence too light and was considering punishment of more than two years in jail. Lawyers presented a series of cases on Friday showing a conditional sentence order was given in similar circumstances. While Schultes said he accepted the joint submission by the lawyers for a one-year conditional sentence, he added more restrictive terms. “They should be uncomfortable . . . unpleasant,” he said. While the 44-year Sidwell will be able to work
as a landscaper, he can leave his residence for only three hours a week for personal business, including attending church. Some conditional sentences allow offenders personal business up to two hours a day. Schultes imposed a restitution order for $21,300, including a condition Sidwell pay $100 a month toward that amount during his one-year conditional sentence. Sidwell admitted his crime to police after a credit-union employee grew suspicious of the transactions. Sidwell said he was addicted to cocaine and he later enrolled in a treatment program at a Prince George centre, where he had failed in the past. He called himself a “master manipulator” who has also taken advantage of his family. “My submission is it’s important he keep trying,” defence lawyer Chris Thompson said. Crown prosecutor Sarah Firestone said two former spouses of Sidwell told her he owes them money. One of them blurted out in court last week that he will not pay the money he defrauded from the senior. “There’s skepticism about ability and willingness to pay,” Firestone said. Sidwell has a criminal record for possession of stolen property and trafficking. “In 25 years, I hurt a lot of people and made them angry,” Sidwell told Schultes. “I want a chance to pay everyone back.” Sidwell said he has become a member of a Prince George church, where he met his current girlfriend and employer.

Another child-porn investigation launched STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A convicted Kamloops sex offender described by doctors as narcissistic and psychopathic is once again under investigation for child-pornography offences. Jamie Trevor McDerment, a former radio personality in Merritt and Castlegar, was jailed for nine months in 2012 after
being convicted of voyeurism and possession of child pornography. Court documents show police obtained a warrant to search the 27-year-old’s Kamloops home this month. The search warrant states police believe McDerment had possessed and distributed child pornography between Dec. 15 and Dec. 31, 2014. The document gave investigators authority to search McDerment’s home and
electronic devices. Mounties initially began looking into McDerment in 2011, after some of his online activity caught the attention of U.S. law enforcement. Later that year, police obtained a warrant to search the apartment he had been sharing with his wife and baby. They seized 36 items, including computers, flash drives, iPhones and iPods. When McDerment
was being sentenced in 2012, court heard he had 100 images and videos in his possession, most of which depicted young boys — between the ages of 10 and 18 — masturbating or involved in sex acts with older men. Police also found photos on McDerment’s iPhone of young boys using a public bathroom. The photos were taken in a Riverside Park restroom in August 2011.
Balbar claimed he acted in self-defence From A1
Arnold-Bailey said she believes Balbar is remorseful and has experienced an “underprivileged and difficult life.” Balbar never held a job for any length and has learning and intellectual problems. Arnold-Bailey noted that despite Hamill’s problems, she went to lengths to care for her
daughter and Balbar’s son when they would stay over on occasion. Her family also hoped she could undergo treatment for her addictions. “Her death at the hands of Mr. Balbar removed that hope,” the judge said. Balbar beat Hamill to death with a hammer during an altercation in his North Shore apartment in late July 2003.
The body of the 31-year-old mother of three was found floating in the North Thompson River on Aug. 1 of that year. The jury was not able to come to a recommendation for parole eligibility following the second trial. Three jurors abstained, two recommended 15 years, one recommended seven-

Court heard excerpts from a psychological report prepared prior to McDerment’s sentencing, in which doctors described him as having narcissistic qualities and showing many characteristics of “psychopathic personality disorder.” Part of McDerment’s 2012 sentence required him to register as a sex offender.

VIEWPOINT SENIORS DESERVE PROPER CARE
B
.C.’s Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie has issued a report on seniors in residential care — and it has gained a great deal of attention that is long overdue. Mackenzie points out there are more seniors in residential care than need to be there. She suggests many could actually be in assisted living, which is less labour-intensive and less costly, or living in their homes with more assistance from community programs. Not only would this be a better way of living for these individuals, as they would have considerably more independence, it would save the B.C. government a pot of money. Mackenzie estimates as many as 15 per cent of the 25,000 people in residential care could be in less-intensive care facilities. This could save the province millions of dollars each year and should be looked at closely. Mackenzie, who did a survey of the seniors in residential care and the 29,000 home-care clients, also found far too many seniors are being given drugs to control their behaviour. One-third of those in residential care are being given anti-psychotic drugs, even though far fewer actually need those drugs. Only four per cent have been diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder. Meanwhile, about twice as many seniors as actually need them are receiving anti-depressants. Health Minister Terry Lake acknowledges too many seniors in care are receiving anti-psychotic and anti-depressant drugs. He said there is training underway to ensure that staff members know what drugs are appropriate for people living in residential care. Mackenzie has highlighted two very important issues, which will be of benefit to both seniors and taxpayers if there is proper follow-through. Seniors deserve proper health services, but they also must be treated with dignity — and they should only be given drugs they really need.

It’s a lot of cash, but . . .
T
he average Kamloops homeowner will barely notice the impact on the wallet if the proposed $90-million performing-arts centre and parkade was to be built downtown. Yes, that is a massive number for an arts centre and 350-stall underground parkade on the former Kamloops Daily News site but, if one reads the report and looks at how the project will be financed, it will hardly bankrupt the taxpayer. Most importantly, as Mayor Peter Milobar repeated during his presentation last Thursday night at Interior Savings Centre, the preliminary business-case report is just that — preliminary. For example, any reliance on naming-rights revenue has to be treated with skepticism, considering how the current namingrights push has landed but one sponsor at the Tournament Capital Centre. And, it must be pointed out the project’s $90-million cost has a plus/minus 25 per cent attached to it, which means it could very well end up with a cost of $112 million, while very unlikely to go down. As Milobar so aptly put it: “Going down doesn’t happen in any city.” Much can be tweaked. Much can change between now and when voters go to the polls in a fall referendum, which is why the city scheduled a public meeting for feedback a full nine days after unveiling the plan. Those who feel strongly about the plan, whether pro or con, really should digest the full report (available online at kamloopsthisweek.com/artscentreplan) and make a plan to attend this Saturday’s meeting at ISC. It runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Back to that $90-million figure. According to the report, a special one per cent propertytax hike in 2016 and 2017 and revenue from on-street parking and gambling and gas taxes will result in a $25-million reserve fund by 2020. The city is hoping

MUSINGS for another $10 million from provincial/federal government grants and from naming rights, which leaves $49 million, after the initial $6 million the city spent on buying and preparing the property is factored in. So, in November, voters will be asked to approve of the city borrowing $49 million toward the project. That money will be paid back over 20 years, at four per cent interest, at a cost of about $25 million, so voters will actually be asked to approve spending about $73 million over 20 years to see the arts centre and parkade become a reality. Toss in another $8.5 million in dedicated property taxes going toward the project and property owners are actually being asked to contribute about $81 million toward the proposal. That means an extra annual burden of less than $100 a year per property owner, which is certainly manageable. Yes, I am well aware of how each incremental cost, however small, adds up. Increased property taxes, water-meter bills and provincial and federal fee increases have impacted us all, myself included. But, the performing-arts centre debate boils down to whether voters deem it a good way to spend their money. Of course such a centre will incur debt to build. Almost all public buildings do. Of course there will be an annual subsidy to operate the centre. There almost always is. Interior Savings Centre,
Tournament Capital Centre, McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre, Westsyde Pool — they all require taxpayer money to stay open, but taxpayers decided it was money well spent to incur debt to build and to use tax dollars to operate. There are those who believe the performing-arts centre proposal would also be money well spent. It would enhance the downtown core with a vibrant cultural space. It would encourage Kamloopsians, young and old, to explore their cultural side. It would give artists, musicians and actors a dynamic, central home to share with the community. And, while a 1,200-seat main theatre and 350-seat secondary theatre will not necessarily attract visitors on its own, it will add a crucial element to all that does attract visitors (and residents) to Kamloops. The preliminary report notes Kamloops is between eight and 10 per cent above the provincial average when it comes to attending arts and cultural events. There is an audience for what the centre will present. In Kamloops, sports is king and always will be. Athletics is revered in this city — and for good reason. But, the arts are just as important and should be treated as an important component of the city. I hope the cost can be shaved and I await a detailed contingency plan to compensate for cost overruns and failed revenue projections, but I like the plan. I like what it will do to the area. I like that it is a bold and exciting proposal that goes beyond the expected and will accommodate Kamloops’ growth for decades to come. The city is thinking big. Now it needs to convince the naysayers between now and November why they should be willing to give up a couple of dinners out per year to help finance the single-greatest attempt at revolutionizing the arts scene and the downtown core at the same time.

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
ACTUALLY, WE NEED A BETTER MUSEUM Editor: How much thought did Kamloops Coun. Tina Lange give to the notion of closing the Kamloops Museum and Archives and setting up roving historical displays in buildings throughout the city? An environmentally appropriate building is required to store, preserve and exhibit the artifacts that tell the story of Kamloops. The current building at Seymour Street and Second Avenue is not up to museum-conservation standards, but at least keeps the artifacts safe and dry. Most of those artifacts were donated to the city museum by residents, past and present, with the understanding their donated treasures would be preserved for future generations to learn about the history of our great city. The building does not have the space or staffing to change exhibits frequently enough to display all that history and keep the interest of residents, although Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure staff members do their best with the time and resources available to them. Without a museum building, where would the archives be located for safe
storage, staffing and ease of access to the public and researchers? Where would the artifacts be stored while awaiting their turn for exhibit in â&#x20AC;&#x153;roving displaysâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and where would staff work to organize and set up those displays? There would be a big cost for staff, transportation and security of those roving displays. Lange said there are not enough visitors to justify the cost of running the museum. I say move the museum out of that old boot of a building and into a new purpose-built facility: a large, bright, cheerful, welcoming space that encourages visitation with both static and changing exhibits. For a growing, thriving city like ours, the museum needs and deserves a much better space and we, the residents of Kamloops and tourists, deserve the best for the preservation and display of our history. Rather than doing away with our museum, as Lange suggests, the city has the responsibility to preserve and exhibit our heritage. Trish Keegan Kamloops

earning the Charleston didn’t faze Tyson Moonie. When faced with the string of steps and breakneck pace of the popular 1920s dance, the Valleyview secondary student “just kind of got up there and started dancing.” But, nailing the etiquette of newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst, who Moonie plays in the school’s upcoming production of The Cat’s Meow, took a little more work. “It’s like you have to stand up straight, no hands on the table, no hands in your lap,” he said. “Also, pulling out the chairs for females and waiting for the men to sit, that was difficult.” Set at the height of the 1920s, Meow offers an interpretation of one of classic Hollywood’s greatest mysterious deaths, that of film producer Thomas Ince. While the official record shows Ince died of a heart attack, Meow sticks with another popular, and more sin-
ister, theory — that Ince was murdered by mistake, the accidental victim of a love triangle that included millionaire Hearst, actress Marion Davies and comedian Charlie Chaplin. “It’s about the dark side of Hollywood,” said theatre teacher Marietta Magliocchi. “All this Hollywood glamour gets broken down and it’s reality. You don’t usually get to see that, what happens behind the doors, and that’s what I love about it.” To get in touch with the real-life stars they’re portraying, the Valleyview actors dove into old films, books and other avenues of research. “Wikipedia was a big help,” said Seth Johnson, who will offer audiences a glimpse of Chaplin’s seamier, womanizing side. Nor was Moonie the only cast member who had plenty to learn about 1920s body language. “It’s amazing how many little mannerisms there were to learn,” said Kendalyn Taylor, who narrates the play in the guise of romance writer Elinore Glyn. “Like sticking out your pinky finger when you drink champagne.”
“Not putting your arms on the back of your chair, crossing your legs at the ankles instead of the knees,” added Paige Danyluk, who plays the role of Davies, a popular early film actress. “There’s so many little things.” Then there’s the Charleston, which appears twice in the play and gets the majority of the cast moving. While the dance goes smoothly these days, cast members admit it took more than a few rehearsals to bring everyone up to speed. “It wasn’t easy. It’s a lot of steps involved,” said Danyluk, one of the cast’s few regular dancers. “Everyone’s doing really well because most of them don’t dance at all.” Funnily enough, despite his prowess on the dance floor, Moonie’s character doesn’t get much time to show off his moves. As Hearst, he spends much of his time sitting down or doing a slower-paced waltz, “because apparently I’m an old man and I can’t dance.” The Cat’s Meow runs at 7 p.m. April 16, 17 and 18, with a 3 p.m. matinee on April 19. Tickets are $10 for adults, $7 for students and seniors, and available at the Valleyview secondary box office.

DENTAL X-RAYS! WHAT IS “SAFE”? Part II of III
X-rays are measured in units of “sieverts”. A sievert is an international unit of ionizing radiation dose based on a probable risk of cancerous changes in the body being Dr. Preety Desai radiated. When doctors want to calculate the radiation dosage you receive there are 3 factors to realistically consider: a) dose from the machine (measured in grays) b) actual tissue/bones teeth etc absorbing some of the dosage (sieverts) and c) how much area is being exposed (sieverts/area). You as the patient must understand that the dosage coming out of the machine is only minimally absorbed by your body while the majority of the x-ray beam is absorbed onto the film or sensor capturing information about your health. We discussed in last month’s column that different types of x-ray machines have different levels of x-ray radiation. The International Commission on Radiological Protection recommends limiting to 50 mSv in a single year with a maximum of 100 mSv in a consecutive five-year period. Daily small amounts of radiation exists in our environment. This is called natural background radiation from space, the earth, air, water and the concrete around us. The amount of this radiation we are exposed to depends upon where we live (ie higher elevations etc). To make a comparison for practical purposes, we compare dental/medical radiation to our everyday lives: NATURAL BACKGROUND EQUIVALENT AMOUNT OF RADIATION = 3 MSV/YR BACKGROUND RADIATION 1 Panoramic X-ray 0.02 mSv . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . up to 3 days 4 bitewing X-rays 0.005 mSv . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.6 day FMS 0.15mSv . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3 days outside / cross country flight Cephalometric X-ray 0.006 mSv . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . up to 1 day CBCT (both jaws) up to 0.6 mSv . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . up to 30 days Chest X-ray (single view) up to 0.01 mSv . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1 day Chest X-ray (2 view) up to 0.1 mSv . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10 days Head CT up to 2 mSv . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . up to 8 months Chest CT up to 3 mSv . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . up to 12 months
Science has no evidence that dental diagnostic x-rays cause cancer but 1/1,000 people will develop cancer from an exposure of +10 mSv (not dental x-rays alone). However, common sense prevails to conclude that even cumulative low doses of radiation may potentially cause harm and we should always try to minimize radiation exposure. Children are at 3-5X higher radiation risk induced for cancer mortality risk than adults because their immature organs are inherently more radiosensitive and they have many more years to live and accumulate dosage. So you must understand that in comparison, when you now walk into today’s dental office, we do not prescribe x-rays haphazardly as there is a much greater understanding of cumulative x-ray radiation dosage. But saying that, taking charge of your own health is through knowledge based on facts not an unreasonable fear of the unknown ... Next month ... Part III: Are Digital X-rays Better?

Someone at the Stefan Beckman studio there went online looking for something specific — the keywords used included rural, minimalist and photography. And, the venture led them right to her website, said Alison Francis. The Kamloops photographer was soon winging her way to the Big Apple, where three of her photographs would become even bigger, blow up to 15 feet tall and wrapped together to create a set for the show Coach was presenting for the annual Fashion Week there. “It was pretty neat to see,” said Francis, who works at River City Rock and spends her non-working time doing things like going to Knutsford on a foggy winter day and walking back into the bush to take the kind of rustic, minimalist photographs that resonated with the New Yorkers and were chosen for the set. It was a surreal experience, Francis said of the trip that had her at the site of the show and surrounded by people who were all generous and friendly. “They were all very open and gave me information and advice about the industry,” Francis said —
and plenty of contacts for possible future work. Francis came to photography about a decade ago when she took a course with Eileen Leier and Ernie Kroeger at what was then University College of the Cariboo. Once she headed out on her own with a camera, she started getting excited about it. A couple of years away from Kamloops to study at the Emily Carr University of Design and Art cemented her relationship with her camera, but also made her long for the River City again. “Sometimes you have to go away to realize how neat the place is,” she said. “With its semi-desert and rich ranching cultures. It’s inspiring.” Francis tried a few summers shooting weddings, but realized that isn’t the kind of art she wants to make. Instead, she’s more likely to head down Highway 5 toward Stump Lake and wander through the area between it and Quilchena, recording the journey photographically. Francis has sold some of her work through her online store, alisonfrancisphotography.com, but is still trying to figure out who her target market is. “I have more success online with people looking for a particular type of work,” she said — the kind that can even be found with a few words in a search engine.

or The Lazys, driving across Canada in a rental RV is just how they roll. “We love it, we’re all best mates,” said Leon Harrison, lead singer of the Australian rock band. “We all bunk up and, yeah, on to the next town.” When KTW spoke to Harrison, he was a passenger aboard their “home for the next two months,” on the road from Saskatchewan to Fort McMurray, with bassist Glenn Williams driving. The two of them, along with guitar players Mat Morris and Liam Shearer and drummer Jay Braslin, are each taking turns driving during a tour of about 30 shows across Canada, which lands in Kamloops on Friday. The band — which hails from Terrigal, a suburb of Gosford, New South Wales, on

the southeast coast of Australia — has been working to get international exposure. It toured in Canada last year and co-wrote music with The Trews’ Colin MacDonald and Billy Talent’s Ian D’Sa. “There’s such a great rock scene here,” Harrison said. While the group’s name might suggest otherwise, The Lazys have had a busy stretch of touring that also included the United States and their home country, before landing back in Canada. “We have been really busy,” Harrison said. There’s no end in sight, either. As the tour winds up just before summer, The Lazys will pop into Toronto for Canadian
Music Week, continue working on their newest single — also co-written by D’Sa — and, then? “More touring,” Harrison said. While their shows are known to be high energy, Harrison said it’s not a chore. “It’s just something that comes over us when we walk out on stage,” he said. “There’s no bells and whistles. It’s just straight up and a lot of fun.” As for living in close quarters with each other — travelling, performing and spending most of their time together — Harrison said it’s only an issue when one of his bandmates brings someone home. But, “that’s very infrequent,” he said with a laugh. The band will open for Danko Jones at Cactus Jack’s Night club on Friday night. Tickets are $25 and are available online at eventbrite.ca/e/ danko-jones-in-kamloops-tickets-15290873414. Doors open at 8 p.m.

he NHL’s post-season dominoes tumbled throughout the regular season’s wild final week. When the last ones fell Saturday night, they revealed the league is set up for an extremely interesting spring. This Stanley Cup tournament features seven teams that missed the playoffs last year. A whopping five Canadian teams earned berths, the most from hockey’s heartland since 2004. Defending champion Los Angeles won’t be there and neither will perennial power Boston. The New York Rangers and Anaheim landed atop the two conferences, but contenders with a tantalizing array of veteran talent and hungry
youth are right behind them. Expect fierce competition this season: The post-season contenders were separated in the standings by only 16 points, the smallest gap in the 16-team post-season era. The puck drops tomorrow night in Montreal, Washington, Nashville and Vancouver. The action won’t stop until a new champion raises the Cup in June. Here’s what to watch when the NHL post-season begins this week: HOME COOKING: Sure, Canadian players and coaches are prominent on every NHL team. But, when franchises based in the Great White North make the playoffs, there’s an extra excitement — and this post-season will have plenty after a mad rush for position left five Canadian teams in the field and two all-Canadian first-round matchups. Montreal was a no-doubt playoff contender and remains a Stanley Cup favourite

as long as Carey Price continues his unbelievable season in net. Vancouver comfortably earned its postseason spot and second place in the Pacific Division with a remarkable bounce-back season under new coach Willie Desjardins. Yet the Canucks’ first-round opponent will be the upstart Calgary Flames, who defied expectations and the loss of injured captain Mark Giordano to end their fiveyear playoff drought. The Winnipeg Jets also hung on late to earn their city’s first home playoff games since 1996. Then there are the Ottawa Senators, who went 23-4-4 over their final 31 games to earn a first-round showdown with Montreal. The Senators shocked the league with incredible play from Andrew Hammond, a mid-tier AHL goalie nicknamed “The Hamburglar’’ who has gone 20-1-2 since his February recall. See KINGS, page A18

KBRA HOSTING POKER RIDE IN BATCHELOR MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Q: I am moving this Spring from my home of 48 years to a retirement community. I have so much stuff and no idea where to begin. Please help! A: Don’t get stressed out by this impending move! Take a look at this task with 20/20/20/20 Vision. 1)Get some boxes and a big felt marker, start in one room - think about your children or loved ones. Choose 20 items having sentimental value and importance to you and your family. Place them in the boxes and mark their names on them.
The Kamloops Bike Riders Association (KBRA) is hosting the Wicked Aces Poker Ride in the Batchelor Heights mountain-biking trails on Sunday. “We’re using the Poker Ride as a fun social for mountain bikers and it’s an opportunity to drive membership and awareness,” said Dave Blackmore, KBRA vicepresident. “We advocate for sustainable, sanctioned trails in the Kamloops area and we work with all parties of interest, be it private, B.C. Parks or city, on
cycling initiatives.” The event will run from 10 a.m. to noon, with routes ranging in distance from four to 14 kilometres, and will be followed with a bydonation barbecue. Only KBRA members will be permitted to ride. Those wishing to join the club can sign up on Sunday before the Poker Ride. Family memberships cost $40 and individual memberships are $20. Blackmore is expecting about 70 riders to attend. The meeting point is the Telus gate at the entrance to the Batchelor trails, which are maintained
by the KBRA. “A lot of people don’t know that Kamloops is one of the most-photographed and videotaped mountain-biking destinations in North America, but we have the least amount of sanctioned and authorized trails,” Blackmore said. “We want to support our community through cycling tourism. We want to be a destination for mountain biking. “Having more members helps give us a voice.” To learn more about the association, go online to bikekamloops.com or visit its Facebook page.

2) Choose 20 items you will feel good about donating to CHARITY. There are so many neighbourhood causes that need good quality used items. 3) Time to focus on you. Mark a box with NEED. Decide on 20 things that you absolutely NEED in your next living space. 4) In the last box, mark it with WANT. Choose 20 items you want to take. They may be sentimental and not practical, but they are still important to you. Well, you have already decided on 80 items - where they should go and what you will do with them. Congratulations you are on your way!
Catharine Pendrel has long practised her world-class mountain-biking abilities on trails in the Kamloops area.

KINGS, BRUINS FALL SHORT Spieth traded burnt orange for green jacket From page A15
DOUG FERGUSON
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUGUSTA, Ga. — The most important round in Jordan Spieth’s young career began with a little perspective from his caddie. Texas was playing a college match on Sunday in California at Pasatiempo Golf Club. Spieth would have been in his senior year with the Longhorns if not for dropping out as a sophomore to try to make a living on the PGA Tour. As they stood on the first tee, Spieth said Michael Greller told him, “Aren’t you glad you’re not at Pasatiempo right now?’’ Looks like it was a good career move for the 21-year-old Texan, who traded burnt orange for a green jacket. After having a laugh about where they were, and just how they got there, Spieth birdied the first hole and was on his way to a performance that ranks among the best at the Masters. He set scoring records for 36 holes (130) and 54 holes (200), and a bogey on the final hole on Sunday meant he had to share the record for 72 holes (270) with Tiger Woods. He had the lowest start by a champion (64). He made more birdies (28) in one tournament than anyone in 78 previous Masters. The only number that really mattered to Spieth was 42 — his jacket size. “It’s the most incredible week of my life,’’ Spieth said. “This is as great as it gets in our sport.’’ But even as he tried to fathom all he accom-

plished, it was that joke on the first tee that was even more difficult to comprehend. Spieth turned pro in late 2012 without a PGA Tour card and no idea where the road would take him. It led to victory as a 19-year-old rookie, to being selected as the youngest American to play in the Presidents Cup, to the final group at the Masters in his debut last year and losing a two-shot lead with 11 holes to play. It’s tempting to declare Spieth as golf’s next big star after such a performance and the elite company he joins. In the last century, only four players have three PGA Tour titles that include a major before turning 22 — Spieth, Woods, Tom Creavy and Gene Sarazen. He was the first wire-to-wire winner at Augusta in 39 years. He already is No. 2 in the world, and he still has work to do to reach Rory McIlroy at No. 1. Golf is craving a rivalry and this has all the trappings of one, especially because the world ranking has never had No. 1 and No. 2 both 25 or younger. It’s worth waiting to see if other young players emerge the rest of the year in the majors, such as Jason Day or even Hideki Matsuyama, who finished fifth. But that Friday at Augusta, when Spieth shot 66 and built a five-shot lead, felt a lot like Friday at Congressional when McIlroy began to bury the U.S. Open field in 2011. “He’s way more mature than I was at 21, and a hell of a golfer and a great person as well,’’ McIlroy said. McIlroy was not ready to think about a rivalry, even though he stated his goal very clearly that he wants to be No. 1. This was a big step, but it was only a step. “He’s got four majors,’’ Spieth said of McIlroy. “That’s something I can still only dream about.’’ If history is any indication, the kid is a quick study. And he seems to be in a hurry to get where he’s going. As for the Longhorns? They registered a 14-shot victory at Pasatiempo on Sunday in the Western Intercollegiate. They didn’t need that Spieth guy, anyway.
NEW BLOOD: The playoffs will go on without the teams that won three of the past four Stanley Cup titles — and, for the first time in NHL history, the teams that won the previous season’s championship and the team with the last Presidents’ Trophy both missed the postseason. The Los Angeles Kings struggled at midseason and flopped in the final week, finishing ninth in the West and ending their spectacular run of two championships, 10 playoff series wins and a record 64 post-season games over the past three years. For the first time since 2007, the playoffs won’t feature the defending champion. The Boston Bruins, who won the 2011 title and had the NHL’s best regular-season record last year, joined the Kings on the golf course after seeing their hopes crushed in the final hours of the season. NO REWARD: The top seeds in each conference drew tough matchups in the first round. The Rangers emerged from a pack of top teams

and streaked past Anaheim to claim the Presidents’ Trophy in the final weeks, but their dubious reward is a perilous first-round matchup with superstar Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and the Pittsburgh Penguins, who squeaked into the post-season on the final day. Anaheim led the overall league standings for much of the season before clinching the top spot in the West in its final game. The high-powered Ducks’ first opponents are the Winnipeg Jets, who made a lateseason surge for their first playoff berth since the erstwhile Atlanta Thrashers moved north nearly four years ago. The MTS Centre and the famed Portage and Main intersection in that Prairie metropolis will be packed with whiteclad, success-starved fans when the Ducks fly into town. “I think they’re going to be crazy,’’ Jets’ forward Mark
Schiefele said. “They’ve been with us all year and they’ve been unbelievable. I think playoffs will just hit that next level for sure.’’ DIVISIONAL RIVALS: The NHL realigned its postseason last year to create more matchups between divisional rivals and the effect will be felt particularly by Central Division teams this year. Division champion St. Louis drew a meeting with Minnesota, which finished with the Western Conference’s sixthbest record. The other Central matchup is a brawl between highpowered Chicago and surprising Nashville, which held off the 2013 champion Blackhawks down the stretch for home-ice advantage. STEADY ON: The Detroit Red Wings made the playoffs for the 24th consecutive season and they’ve never had a post-season series against the Tampa Bay Lightning and general manager Steve Yzerman, who is a bit of a celebrity in Michigan. The Wings’ playoff exploits could play a role in the future of coach Mike Babcock, who could be available to the highest bidder this summer.

Celtics eye playoffs
After routing a Cleveland squad that was resting starters on Sunday, Kelly Olynyk of Kamloops and the Boston Celtics were in seventh place in the NBA’s Eastern Conference, one game ahead of both Brooklyn and Indiana with two games left. The Celtics hold the tiebreaker against both teams, meaning Boston clinches with one more win or one more loss by either the Nets or Pacers, who are tied for the eighth spot. Brooklyn was in action last night after KTW’s press deadline. The Celtics and the Toronto Raptors are playing today in Boston, with game time set for 4:30 p.m. Indiana squares off tonight against Washington. Olynyk, in his sophomore season, has yet to see playoff action in the NBA. The South Kamloops secondary product is averaging 10.3 points and 4.7 rebounds per game this season. — Associated Press

VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Canucks are playing coy when it comes to naming a starting goalie for Game 1 of their first-round series against the Calgary Flames. Eddie Lack helped guide the Canucks into the playoffs with a 12-62 record and a .927 save percentage after Ryan Miller went down with a knee injury on Feb. 22. Miller started Saturday’s meaningless season-finale against Edmonton and looked rusty in his first action in nearly seven weeks. Lack said after yesterday’s practice at Rogers Arena that he’s preparing as if he will play. Miller said there are things he still needs to work on to be able to compete at a high level. Canucks’ head coach Willie Desjardins said he refuses to name his starter because “this time of the year, you look for all the advantages you can get.’’ — Canadian Press

ò Obituaries & In Memoriam ô MRS. DONNA MARIE STEINMETZ September 4, 1932 - April 5, 2015
Mrs. Donna Marie Steinmetz passed away peacefully at Hospice in Kamloops on April 5, 2015, aged 82 years. She is predeceased by her husband Jack, and son Michael. Lovingly remembered by her daughter Cathy Gerry, husband Deane of Kamloops, son David Steinmetz, wife Caroline of Scotland, Ontario, many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, as well as many friends and relatives. She was born September 4, 1932 in Brantford, Ontario. Jack and her married there on July 4, 1953 and shared nearly 50 years together. They worked dawn to dusk as tobacco farmers and volunteered endless hours for the Order of the Eastern Star and Lion’s Club. For leisure they 5 pin bowled, danced at the community halls and later enjoyed garage sales. She collected carnival glass, blue mountain pottery, red rose tea ornaments and Doulton mugs. Her flower gardens were amazing, just like the delectable smells of goodies from her kitchen. She also had a talent for decorating cakes. Donna was a voracious reader and once due to lack of material read the phonebook. In April 2007 she moved to Kamloops given 6 months to live due to cancer. She enjoyed eight more years of reading, word search books, listening to music and family get togethers. Never forgotten, she will remain in our hearts. Donna requested no service but the family invites friends to celebrate her life on Saturday, April 18th, from 1:00 - 4:00 pm, at their home, 937 Fleming Circle, Kamloops. Special thanks to Dr. Paul Yanko, Berwick, ER, Five North, and Hospice staff for their unending kind words and gentle care. We are blessed to have dedicated people like this in our community. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Hospice or the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation.

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of William (Bill) Nelson of Barriere, B.C. He will be missed by his wife of 62 years, Norma, his children Carole, Dianne (Wayne), Shirley (Jim), Ian (Jo), Gary (Cheryl), his ten grandchildren Sharon, Sandy, Kristen, Spencer, Tara, Braden, Brittany, Tanya, Scott, Kaylee, his four great grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. Born to Mabel and William James Nelson of Barriere, B.C., Bill had a long history in the North Thompson Valley. His grandparents moved to Barriere in 1911 to establish a sawmill and build Barriere’s first Hotel. At 6 years of age Bill moved with his family to Kamloops where he went to school and spent many enjoyable years horseback riding with his friends from the ranching community. He told stories of pasturing his horses where Walmart is now, and rode range from Lac Le Jeune to Cherry Creek and beyond. Although he loved the cowboy life, his primary occupation was woodworking. He spent 25 years as a journeyman carpenter, and in the latter part of his carpentry career he became part owner of Wilson and Dalgleish Construction. Whether he was building a china cabinet or a barbed wire fence he took great pride in his work and always strived for perfection. Anybody who ever built a fence with Bill would agree with this. He worked hard with precision and accuracy and taught his children and grandchildren to do the same. In 1953 Bill married his devoted wife, Norma, and they started their family. He never lost his desire to return to the country life, and in 1963 he bought his first ranch on Dunn Lake Road in Barriere. For the next 10 years Bill juggled city and country life until finally, in 1974, he bought a larger property, moved his family to the North Thompson Valley, and pursued his lifelong dream of being a full time rancher. Bill was fortunate to have good health up to the moment of his passing. His last weeks were spent feeding cattle, building fences, driving his four wheeler, and working in his woodwork shop with his grandson Scott -- exactly what he loved doing. A tea will be held on Saturday, May 16, 2015, 1-4 p.m. at the Darfield Hall, Darfield, B.C. In lieu of flowers donations may be made in Bill’s name to the charity of your choice.
With heavy hearts the family of May Basford sadly announce her passing. After a short time of illness May passed away peacefully at Kamloops Royal Inland Hospital on Friday, April 3rd, 2015 at the age of 79. May was born in Grand Forks, British Columbia on May 22, 1935 to Eli and Mary Makortoff (nee: Samsonoff). May is sadly missed by her loving spouse of 47 years, Nick Kabatoff of Logan Lake; daughter Adele Key (Stan Rimmer) of Langley; granddaughter Serenna (Jeff Frans) and her two great-granddaughters Riley and Aylah Mae Frans of Aldergrove as well as many friends and relatives. May took much pleasure gardening, fishing and raising her farm animals in Cherry Creek for 30 years with Nick on their hobby farm. In August 2008, they moved to Logan Lake where May enjoyed her daily walks with Penny and relaxing moments in the sun with their farm dog Tucker. Cremation has taken place under the care of Schoening Funeral Service. As per May’s wishes there will be no service. Donations in May’s memory may be made to the Kamloops Royal Inland Hospital Cancer Clinic on her behalf.
You are missed very much, But your memory’s so dear That deep in our hearts You will always be near.
We love you so much Grandma!
