ACCUSED IN HILLSIDE ASSAULTS IN COURT TIM PETRUK

BATTLE OF THE BOOKS
Kay Bingham elementary students Marcus Beattie (left), Cooper Felkee and Zech Montgomery wait in anticipation of the revealed answers, hoping they’ve got it correct in the Battle of the Books zone competition. The Kamloops reading motivational program for students in grades 3 to 7 started in 1988 and has since been adopted in other districts around the province. This year, 28 schools are participating. The goals of the program are to encourage students to read and to broaden their reading interests. District finals are being held today at the Henry Grube Education Centre.
The woman accused of violently assaulting a nurse last week at Hillside Psychiatric Centre has been sent for an in-custody assessment to determine if she’s fit to stand trial. Four deputy sheriffs escorted Heather Harris into a Kamloops courtroom yesterday, where a judge ordered she be sent to Forensic Psychiatric Hospital in the Lower Mainland for a fitness assessment. Harris is facing two separate assault charges stemming from incidents this month — one on April 2 and the other on April 15. In both cases, court heard, the victims were staff members at Hillside. Court heard Harris spends almost all of her time at Hillside locked in a confinement cell. On April 2, she was let out of her cell for one hour and is alleged to
have lashed out physically when staff members told her the hour was up. On April 15, she was let out for another hour and allegedly punched a female nurse in the head. While in custody in the cellblock of the Kamloops Law Courts yesterday, Harris allegedly became involved in an altercation with a female deputy sheriff. The investigation into that incident is ongoing and it’s not known if charges will be laid. Harris was previously charged after a pair of assaults at Hillside in 2013. Those charges were stayed after doctors at Forensic Psychiatric Hospital found her unfit to stand trial and she was later transferred back to Hillside. If Harris is found unfit to stand trial on the latest charges, her file will be sent to the B.C. Review Board for disposition She’s due back in court on May 21.
Councillor wants Kamloops to nix additional drive-thrus ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops city councillor thinks it’s time the city nixed any more drive-thrus. During an update on the city’s sustainability efforts at a council workshop Tuesday, Coun. Ken Christian said he wants to see more attention paid to anti-idling efforts. “We continue to approve development-permit options that allow for drive-thrus and I think it’s getting a bit ridiculous,” Christian said.
“Maybe for fast food, but now you have drive-thru banks.” He wasn’t the only councillor to raise the issue. Coun. Denis Walsh called for an anti-idling bylaw and public-education campaign that extends beyond the city’s own fleet. Walsh said he’s concerned the city’s greenhouse-gas numbers don’t appear to be decreasing and believes fewer engines running could help. “Idling to me seems like low-hanging fruit,” he said. Coun. Pat Wallace, however, cautioned that a bylaw might not accomplish much if the city can’t enforce it equally across the city. She said if malls and big-box stores allow idling in their

private parking lots, a bylaw could become a new reason for shoppers to avoid downtown. “If it’s cold or if it’s hot, people are going to run their cars if their wife or spouse is shopping,” she said. Council would need a staff report at a regular meeting, as well as a public hearing, if it were to move forward with a bylaw. In 2011, Subway failed in its bid to add a drive-thru to its location at Fortune Drive and Seventh Street. The city doesn’t allow drive-thrus in what is considered the North Shore Towne Centre, instead encouraging a pedestrianfriendly environment.

concern is storage in dams and retention areas, a particular worry in the Nicola Valley. In a dry year, government officials can order early release of water for salmon-conservation purposes. “We’ve had an early runoff,� Boon said. “There’s more water going by now that won’t be available later.� All the worries can wash away with what Environment Canada meteorologist Doug Lunquist calls a normal “Interior monsoon season� beginning in May and lasting into early July. He noted the immediate forecast is calling for cooler weather, with some showers over the next seven to 10 days. As of April 1, the snowpacks in the Thompson region are at near-normal levels. The North Thompson basin snowpack is at 96 per cent of normal, while the South Thompson basin is at 92 per cent of normal.

That’s due to a warm eastern Pacific Ocean current several degrees above average for this time of year. Besson said precipitation is more difficult to predict for the coming months. Local rancher Peter Phillip, who oversees a ranch south of Kamloops, said surface water in ponds and sloughs is in good shape, as is groundwater supply. The immediate concern, Phillip said, is lack of early spring rains. “If we don’t get a soaking rain in a week or two, I think our crops — dryland hay — could be in for trouble.� he said. Phillip depends on spring rains to irrigate his hay crops, a crop that is in turn used for winter feed. He said the main issue with his lands is the early melting of snow cover, which allowed sunshine and warmer conditions to dry out soil. Boon said a longer-term
An early spring that left grasslands bare for an extra month or more is causing concern among ranchers about availability of water. “We’re not in a drought or water shortage,� said Kevin Boon, general manager of B.C. Cattlemen’s Association. “But, we’ve got a cocked eye watching.� The amount of precipitation between Dec. 1 and March 31 was about 150 per cent of normal, driven by a January that saw twice the normal amount of precipitation. Since then, the amount of rainfall has been normal. What’s not normal is soaring temperatures in April. “We do expect conditions in terms of temperature to be well above normal,� said Environment Canada meteorologist Andre Besson.

Riding a bus in Kamloops could get cheaper — unless you’re a senior or a K to 12 student. At a city council workshop Tuesday, the majority of council members said they would be interested in seeing cash fares move to $2 for everyone in the city. That’s a 25-cent break for an adult rider, but a hike for children and seniors, who pay $1.75 at the fare box. If the city proceeds with the plan, senior and student discounts would still be in place for riders who buy bus tickets or monthly passes. Engineering manager Deven Matkowski said a unified cash fare is a driver-safety issue since it’s up to bus drivers to determine whether a rider is trying to unfairly use a discount.
SEGUIN SNARES AWARD
“It puts drivers in a position where they have to make a judgment call or ask for ID,� Matkowski said. Staff had given council a few options to unify the fare — either knocking all fares down to the discount rate of $1.75, at an annual cost to the city of about $368,000, or making all fares $2.25, which would have added an extra $71,000 annually to city coffers. An overall fare hike and completely free transit were also up for discussion. Coun. Ken Christian suggested going with a $2 fee, with the option of increasing fees to $2.50 whenever the city is able to expand its transit hours. A 6,000-hour increase was planned for 2015, but isn’t going ahead because BC Transit does not have enough new funding from the province to pay for its portion of the plan. Christian prefers his
option to the $1.75 fee because it requires fewer coins. “It’s a one-toonie-inthe-fare-box approach, which would simplify everything,� he said. Mayor Peter Milobar also supports the idea as a way to reduce fare-box conflict. “I think dropping it to the $1.75, you’ve just created another level of problem with people who didn’t want to pay a toonie and dropped one in and is wondering why they don’t get their quarter back,� he said. However, Coun. Donovan Cavers does not want to see riders paying the discount rate get hit with a fare increase, suggesting council go with the $1.75 fee. “It won’t result in an increase for one group over another group,� he said. On the other end of the debate, Coun. Tina Lange prefers to see fares

rise if the city chooses to take any action. “It would be lovely if we could reduce fares, but I just don’t think that it’s feasible at this time. If you own a car, the price to fix it is going up, the cost to buy new tires is going up,� she said. Council doesn’t make binding motions at its workshops. A staff report looking at the exact costs and ridership impacts for the fare change will come to council for debate at a later date. Matkowski estimated a move to the $1.75 fare would increase ridership by four per cent — about 152,000 additional riders per year. The city’s ridership numbers have been declining in the past few years, sliding from nearly 3.5 million in 2012 to 3.4 million in 2014, though Matkowski said passenger figures were down across the province last year due to the teachers’ strike in September.

This week’s federal budget marks the beginning of the election campaign, with rivals to Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod criticizing its focus on wooing voters. However, McLeod said it’s a balanced budget she will be proud to promote before voters go to the polls on Oct. 19. The budget includes tax advantages for seniors and savers through changes to registered retirement income funds and taxfree savings accounts, reduction in smallbusiness tax, an increase to compassionate care provisions and changes to the Canada Labour Code for interns. “The small-business community will be very happy about the reduction in smallbusiness tax, going from 11 per cent to nine per cent,” McLeod said. “It gives them opportunity to invest in their own business.” The budget comes after last year’s emphasis on tax cuts and benefits to families with children, including allowing income splitting. “Let’s not forget that these goodies are made up of our money, but groups that typically support Conservatives are bene-

Speed in question in boat collision TIM PETRUK

An RCMP expert in marine-vessel crashes has admitted he used guesswork to come up with some of the numbers he included in his final report into a fatal 2010 boat crash on Shuswap Lake. Leon Reinbrecht’s
B.C. Supreme Court trial on one count each of criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm appears to be in its final stages. It began in February, nearly five years after the incident. The Crown alleges Reinbrecht was driving his speedboat recklessly on the night of July 3,

2010, when it collided nearly head-on with a houseboat, killing Ken Brown, the houseboat’s operator. Under cross-examination yesterday, RCMP Cpl. Richard Harry, an expert in investigating boat crashes who took part in the Shuswap Lake investigation five years ago, admitted some of the numbers in his final report are not based on evidence. Court heard Harry’s notes indicated the speedboat could have
been travelling at 7.6 knots. His report to Crown said the boat was travelling at five knots. Last week, Harry’s actions brought the trial to a halt after he meddled in the defence case. During his crossexamination of Harry, defence lawyer Joe Doyle found out the officer placed a phone call last week to a Canadian Coast Guard supervisor to inquire about a defence witness.

Budget targets seniors CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER
ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
STANDALONE KICKER
Kamloops & Distric Labour Council president Barb Nederpel joined a weekend protest outside MP Cathy McLeod’s office to protest Bill C-51.
Measures in the Conservative government’s pre-election budget will help seniors’ finances and make it easier to stay at home longer, advocates said. The Stephen Harper government released its months-late budget Tuesday. It projects a $1.4-billion surplus thanks to proceeds from the sale of General Motors shares and a reduction in a surplus account. The budget includes measures to increase spending fighting terrorism, increase cyber-security, a small-business tax cut and ways to make life easier for savers. Finance Minister Joe Oliver delivered on an earlier pledge by nearly doubling the amount of room in tax-free savings accounts (TFSA) to $10,000 from today’s $5,500 and to ease rules that require mandatory withdrawals when RRSPs are converted to registered retirement income funds (RIFs) at 71. The budget also offers a tax credit of up to $1,500 to seniors who spend $10,000 on home renovations including wheelchair ramps and walk-in tubs. The current EI compassionate care benefit
will be extended from six weeks to six months. Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod said she knows colleagues who have taken time off to care for gravely ill family members who wanted more time. She included that recommendation in her prebudget letter to Oliver. “Six weeks didn’t cut it,” she said. “To go to six months will be an enormous support and relief or families.” McLeod also said she consistently heard from seniors worried mandatory RIF withdrawals would cause them to deplete savings. Wendy Marlow, executive director of Kamloops Hospice, said the measure will change lives, often at the end of life. “It’s stressful enough when a loved one is dying — and then to take time off to worry about finances.” She also said predicting the end of life “is not an exact science. “They may take six weeks and maybe their loved one rebounds. I see the stress in people’s faces: ‘Do I take time off now or do I wait?’ “ Spencer Watson, vice-president of Kamloops Centre for Seniors Information, said the combination of RIF rules and increasing room in TFSAs will help some seniors
retain government benefits, including OAS, and prevent benefits from being clawed back. But Watson, a financial planner, said the change will also make it more difficult for tax planning. Seniors who die with a large sum remaining in a RIF will be hit with a 43 per cent tax bill in their estate if they let funds accumulate to a large amount. “It was cut and dried. Now you have a choice,” he said. Watson said doubling of TFSA room will also help young people with higher incomes saving for a house, for example. While cash is typically held in TFSAs, they can be used to hold stocks or other investment products. The centre applauded the home accessibility tax credit and its ability for seniors to write off improvement intended to let them remain at home longer. “We’re strong advocates for having people stay at home for as long as possible,” Watson said. “They’re happier, healthier and live longer.” The local branch of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association also welcomed the disability tax credit, saying it will assist seniors in renovations and remove work from the “cash economy.”

David Thompson students trashing wasteful habits JESSICA KLYMCHUK
STAFF REPORTER
jklychuk@kamloopsthisweek.com
Students at David Thompson elementary were hoping to find treasure in their trash when they dug through the school’s garbage on Tuesday. In partnership with Waste Naught BC and the City of Kamloops, students conducted the first waste audit of an elementary school in Kamloops with the goal of reducing the amount of waste that is carted to the landfill. Parent advisory committee chairwoman Leilani Reid said they plan to establish more precise recycling practices and start a composting program. Eight students from the Westsyde school’s environomics club sorted one day’s worth of garbage produced by
the 400 students and 40 faculty members into categories, such as mixed recycling, organic material, reusable items, landfill items and several sub-categories, to better understand what is being put into the trash. Waste Naught BC owner Marcia Dick estimated one day’s worth of garbage amounted to about 60 kilograms, which can typically be reduced by 80 per cent through composting, recycling and reusing. The results will be known in May and Dick suspects the school could cut its waste-disposal bill in half. Waste audits have already been completed at the Tournament Capital Centre (TCC), Thompson Rivers University and BCLC. Jaimi Garbutt, sustainability educator with the City of Kamloops,
Students Anna Horsch, Ty Moffett and Hudson Davoren sort through one day’s worth of trash during David Thompson elementary’s waste audit on Tuesday. The audit was the first for a Kamloops elementary school and the initial step toward a wastefree facility, where resources are conserved rather than sent to a landfill. JESSICA KLYMCHUK/KTW
said the TCC’s November audit has so far resulted in $1,500 in savings by switching the size of the garbage bins for smaller options. Once diversion stations are installed — a set of separate containers for refundable items, recyclables, compost and garbage — the city will cut garbage collection costs by another $3,500.
The city is also considering eliminating disposable paper towels at the TCC to save upwards of $8,000, she said. It installed composters on site — the same kind Reid is hoping to purchase for David Thompson, depending on the results of the audit. It processes all food waste, including
dairy and meat. “It’s little steps that are going to work towards being zero waste,” Garbutt said. “We are going to be setting an example for all the other schools in the district and we are getting right to the core, too, because kids make that difference. They seem to pick up on all the changes a lot quicker than an adult would.” Paper and plastics are most commonly mis-
taken for trash and the school had an individual category for non-recyclable food packaging. Single-use plastics — things like yogurt containers and zip-lock bags — are a problem area. “What we want to promote is a litter-less lunch,” Reid said. “Reusable containers instead of zip-lock bags, making sure they have a water bottle instead of juice boxes. “It’s about creating habits so there is less waste.”
HALDANE HIGH ON GREEN LIST Haldane elementary in Chase has participated in the Green Schools Canada Program since 1992 and has achieved Earth Status 10, which is the highest level of achievement in greenschool initiatives. Reaching Earth Status 10 has made Haldane the No. 1 green school in Canada. The school achieved the status by having its students complete 10,000 environmental actions. Haldane students take part in a wide variety of green initiatives, including a recycling program in each classroom, a worm-composting program and a bottlerecycling program that funds the Green Kids Club projects.

FEDERAL BUDGET INDEED POLITICAL
T
he federal budget, brought down by Finance Minister Joe Oliver Tuesday, is more of a political document than an economic one. This isn’t surprising, with a federal election planned for Oct. 19. The governing Conservatives have made a clear statement of their political philosophy in the document. It contrasts sharply with the campaign platform offered up by the NDP, the Official Opposition. Meanwhile, the Liberals have yet to release their election platform, but Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau made it clear that he won’t support the budget, as he obviously disagrees with its contents. The Conservative philosophy, as stated in the budget, calls for a multitude of tax breaks, particularly for families with children and seniors. It continues the emphasis on tax reduction and credits that has been part of virtually every Conservative budget since the party was first elected in 2006. It also continued the trend of making multi-year promises, but not funding many of them for years to come. It is very much in line with the approach taken by the late Jim Flaherty, finance minister from 2006 to 2014. The Conservatives claim the budget is balanced, but it is only balanced because of a raid on the reserve fund and the sale of General Motors stock. Nonetheless, the party does believe in keeping revenue and spending roughly in balance and it is clearly not a “big government” party. The NDP, by contrast, have also been clear that their philosophy calls for much more government activity — particularly in the area of child care. Leader Thomas Mulcair has promised that an NDP government would institute $15 per day day care across Canada, at a cost of about $5 billion. As voters prepare for plenty of political spin and manipulation over the next few months (to say nothing of intensive advertising campaigns), a focus on the basic philosophies put forward by each party can be helpful in clearing up the confusion.

Banking on generosity
A
fter volunteering for a year, Bernadette Siracky found herself the newly chosen executive director at the Kamloops Food Bank — and with just three weeks to put together the next citywide food drive. Postal workers had been doing it for years, but had moved on to other endeavours, leaving the agency without that army of volunteers needed to cover the city. There were no yellow bags to distribute and the drive was essential. The shelves were pretty bare. That’s when Siracky, relatively new to the city from Calgary, discovered the magic of Kamloops. Sitting in her office at the enlarged agency space on Wilson Street in North Kamloops, Siracky remembers mentioning her dilemma to Rotarian colleagues Brad Wood and Al Milton. Each immediately offered to help, offering her space to gather and sort the donations — and, she says, the universe took over. Other Rotarians learned of the challenge and, before she knew it, the clubs had offered to run the drive, sending members out in their cars and trucks to pick up donations. As what eventually totalled 15,000 pounds of food arrived, Siracky realized there were no containers and not enough boxes. Eventually, they were send-
DALE BASS
Street
LEVEL ing the donations over to the agency’s trailer and stuffing it all in there. What started as a Rotary venture has now become a community moment, one that will happen again on Saturday with the 14th annual Rotary Food Drive. Yellow plastic grocery bags have gone out through Kamloops This Week, Rotarians are ensuring their gas tanks are full and there will be plenty of boxes to hold the food after a platoon of volunteers sorts it again. This year, recognizing there are some people who might not have received a donation bag, local Tim Hortons outlets will have them at their drive-thru windows for people to request. There will be people from virtually every service club in Kamloops helping. NRI and Valley First will send a team. The Church of Latter Day Saints has dozens ready to help. Food bank clients will be there. Teenagers will show up. Many of you will be there and
your neighbours and friends will take part. That’s what the semi-annual drives have become — gatherings of the Kamloops community to give some of their time, some of their own food, all to help feed the more than 5,000 people who relied on the food bank last year. Those 5,000 are also helped by 48 agencies and schools that rely on drives to provide meals to the needy. Siracky says one of the things that struck her immediately is how much Kamloops differs from Calgary. Here, she says, when people say they’re going to do something, they do it. In Calgary, people may mean well and want to help, but life and work often get in the way. Siracky speculates the spring and fall drives appeal to a crosssection of people because they are an easy way to give back in a meaningful way. As the Rotarians arrive and the food is offloaded to be sorted — last fall, it brought in 56,000 pounds — there will be a moment in the organized chaos when Siracky will stop, look and smile. It’s a mixed sensation she has, one that is a lot like being at a big wedding where everyone is family and they’re all having fun. Then there’s the other side, she says — simply knowing that any one of us could be in the food bank lineup is so powerful. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
RESIDENTS ARE SUBSIDIZING CITY’S BIG BUSINESS Editor: The headline in the April 16 edition of KTW (‘Homeowners help heavy industry’) would have been more apt and truthful if it had read, “Homeowners subsidizing big business.” Big business uses our infrastructure and amenities 24 hours a day, seven days a week, beating up our roads and polluting our air and water. City council, with a total lack of wisdom, decides we, as citizens and taxpayers of Kamloops, should subsidize their operations so these same big businesses can send more money to their foreign corporate headquarters and shareholders.
This giveaway was in the pipeline long before the municipal election last fall, but I can’t remember any of candidates elected bringing the subject up. How convenient ,with the next election four years away. Big business is insatiable. It will molest cities like Kamloops, aided and abetted by our elected representatives, until it pays no tax at all, then come back looking for us to pay it. Coun. Tina Lange wanted to give even more of our money to big business at the same time she wanted to close our museum because she had decided the people of Kamloops couldn’t
afford to preserve and hold onto their 205 years of history, 114 of which Kamloops has been incorporated as a city. The $500,000 Lange was willing to give away to big business could have done wonders to promote and enlarge our museum into something of which everyone in Kamloops would be proud. With city politicians like these, Kamloops will end up being a city with no soul or money. Then again, we reap what we sow as per last fall’s municipal election. Ken Barry Kamloops
DEATH WAS AN ACCIDENT Editor: Re: Barb Hicks letter of April 10 about the death of Heather Carr (‘Carr another victim of Allan Schoenborn’): I thank Hicks for clarifying in her letter that she had never met Heather, as it will allow others who did not know her to disregard Hicks’ opinion on the matter. I, however, did know Heather. I loved her and spent 17 years of my life with her. How dare Hicks imply Heather was so weak and irresponsible that she could not deal with her profession that she would take her own life. How dare Hicks imply Heather did not love her children, husband, family, friends or me enough to maintain living on this planet. How dare Hicks imply her spiritual practices would even allow such a thing. Hicks does not have all the facts. Heather did not go on stress leave after the tragic Schoenborn case of 2008. Nor was her long-term disability at work a result of that case.
SOLAR BBQ
Was Heather seeking professional help for PTSD? Yes. Do I believe all social workers in our province deserve more access to professionals to assist them in their own mental dealings with their job? Yes. Being a social worker is very difficult. The rules of confidentiality do not allow the workers to be able to vent and discuss their daily dealings. They do need somewhere to go. I am sure there are hundreds of people who would back Hicks up should she choose to champion this fight. However, she should never use my best friend and partner as a political cause. We, the family, do not blame anyone. We know it was an accident. We choose to honour Heather’s life as she lived it, courageously and with much enthusiasm. As we lay our beloved Heather to rest, may Hicks and everyone else also find their own peace. L. Warner Kamloops

COMMUNICATION
Rob Higgins hesitates to use the word “eradicate.” Though the Thompson Rivers University researcher knows it’s nearly impossible with any ant species, he will try in Naramata this summer to eradicate the European fire ant — an invasive species that stings and leaves yards virtually unusable. Infestations have popped up in parts of B.C. Last year, Higgins was awarded a $100,000 provincial grant and has been working in collaboration with municipalities, the provincial government and the Inter-Ministry Invasive Species Working Group, to treat and control the ants. The working group considers invasive ants an increasing problem in Canada due to climate and the rate at which people move materials to new areas, which has allowed the ants to spread in places like Victoria, Courteney and the Lower Mainland. Higgins said the ants thrive in warm, humid environments. If they end up in Kamloops, they won’t survive long. Higgins’ work in Naramata — the sole known Interior location where the European
While some ants pollinate, others, like the European fire ant, bite. Higgins is attempting to eradicate the ants, considered an invasive species and a pest, in Naramata this summer. But, are there any positives to having the ant? Simply put: No, said Higgins.
There are birds that feed on them, which can be considered a plus. But, ants place others at risk. “They have been documented to sting nestlings,” Higgins said. “My concern has been that they will attack the young birds in the nests.”
DID YOU KNOW? Polyergus “slave-making” ants, which can be found in the Kamloops area, kill the queen of other colonies and take over before sending out worker ants to make “slave runs,” robbing other colonies of their larvae and pupae to bring back and hatch more workers.
fire ants have been found — began with a “comprehensive distribution” last summer. This summer, work continues on a situation worse than initially thought, Higgins said. “These ants are behaving in Naramata a bit differently than I’ve ever seen before,” he told KTW. “This cohort of ants appears to be a little more dry-tolerant, so I just don’t know what to expect from them.” The ants will be mapped before digging and treating begins, Higgins said, which includes a low concentration of permethrin, a synthetic insecticide. It will be an experiment in eradication, though Higgins admit-

ted a bigger approach is still needed. “This technique won’t help us with respect to big areas. It’s just too labour intensive,” he said. If it is successful, however, homeowners throughout the province may have an answer to the letters Higgins often receives when children can no longer play in backyards and pets can’t go outside, due to being bitten by the pests. “If we do find that technique [digging and treating] works, we’ll
be making it available for homeowners,” he said. The European fire ant has an economic impact that reaches beyond the costs of control and eradication attempts and it’s one that has left Higgins dealing with lawyers far more than he ever imagined. Confidentiality is an issue when property values are at stake, he said, because, to date, nobody has solved an invasive ant problem anywhere. Someone even threatened to sue him once, he said. While Higgins continues work this summer, the public can prevent further spread of the ants. He’s encouraging people to educate themselves, spread the
Higgins said about 90 species of ants have been identified in B.C. Of those, about five are commonly seen. Winged carpenter ants, for example, will be out mating soon, usually in early spring — a sunny day after a heavy rain. Lasius ants, the black garden ant, arrive in late September and form in big groups before quickly going away. word and check new plants and soil for ants before planting. Higgins has secured another $11,000 from the Ministry of Transportation and expects funding from the Inter-Ministry Invasive Species Working Group that could amount to up to $90,000, allowing him to continue work in the Lower Mainland.

Parkade price raises questions

BC PARKS VISITORS GUIDE
It’s been one of the mostasked questions since the City of Kamloops announced it’s early plans for a $90-million arts centre and public parkade: Why do 350 parking stalls cost so much? In its preliminary business case for the centre, the city estimates the cost of a new underground public parkade in the arts centre complex at $25.7 million. That’s well above the $8 million the city looked to borrow in 2011, when it set its sights on building a parkade on Lorne Street — a project so controversial at the time opponents were able to gather thousands of signature needed to defeat it in a counter-petition. Mayor Peter Milobar said the dollar figure seems so high in

part because the city’s folded all the costs of acquiring the former Kamloops Daily News property on Seymour Street into the parkade portion of the estimate. The city purchased the building for $4.8 million in 2014 from Daily News parent company Glacier Media. Also rolled into the cost of the parkade is another $2.7 million in estimated site preparation costs, including relocating various utilities now under the lot. On the Lorne Street project, the city already owned the site where it planned to put the parkade. “If we didn’t include the land costs, everyone would say, ‘Oh, you’ve left the land costs out. You’re trying to say it’s cheaper than it really is,” Milobar said. “I guess we could have split the land costs between the two projects or something, but if
you actually read the report, you’ll see where it’s very clearly identified in there.” That leaves about $18 million in construction costs — still above the cost of Lorne Street, but closer to the cost of a new $15-million, 440-stall parkade Kelowna is building in its downtown. Unlike the Kamloops parkade, which would be underground, Kelowna’s is an aboveground, multi-storey model. Milobar said much of the difference between the Lorne Street costs and the early projections for the parkade amounts to inflation. “The hospital is currently building a 350-stall parkade and it’s $80 million,” he said. “So, if you’re asking me why in today’s construction dollars a 354-stall parkade is expensive, I would say because the construction industry is expensive.”
More time to ponder Ajax? document is going to be enormous and highly technical, and for people to have time to make meaningful comment, 75 days is not a lot of time,” Cavers said. His motion calls on the provincial Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) to begin taking comments after the report has been available to the public for an unspecified period of time “in order that the public be given fair opportunity to review and comment.” In response to questions from KTW, a spokesman with the Ministry of Environment said the EAO is required to provide a public-comment period of between 30 and 75 days, with length and timing left to the discretion of the office. The office opted for the longer period of time, the ministry
A Kamloops councillor is hoping for more time for the public to digest reports on the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine once they are submitted to the provincial government. When council meets next Tuesday, it will debate a motion from Coun. Donovan Cavers calling for a delayed start to the public-comment period that kicks off the province’s review of KGHM Ajax’s environmentalassessment application. Under normal circumstances, the province has 30 days to evaluate the report. If it is deemed acceptable for review, the province posts the report online and puts copies in local libraries, beginning the 180-day review and 75-day period for public feedback. “It’s basically a given that the

said, “in light of the level of public interest in the environmental assessment for the Ajax mine.” The ministry said the EAO usually holds public-comment periods near the start of the 180-day review to help identify potential issues and mitigation options as early as possible in the process. The ministry said any request from council would be taken under review. Cavers’ motion also calls on the province to notify the city as soon as KGHM Ajax’s application is submitted to the EAO. That notification is likely coming in any event, since city staff sit on the technical working group that would be asked to review the application to ensure it is complete.

Urban hens are one of the highest-priority items in a new urban agriculture plan for Kamloops, but not everyone on city council is clucking over the idea. Carmin Mazzotta, social and community development supervisor for the city, said of the nearly 650 residents who weighed in on the first draft of the Kamloops plan, 85 per cent are in favour of allowing backyard chicken coops. The draft form of the plan was up for review at a council workshop Tuesday and Mazzotta said changes to the city’s animalcontrol bylaw to permit poultry on single and two-family lots are “front and centre.� Lots would have to be a certain minimum size and the city would need regulations to deal with predators, noise, odours and other concerns, Mazzotta said. Other high-priority items include changes to the city’s home-based business bylaws

Coun. Tina Lange thinks hens are less likely to cause problems than its opponents predict — and could be less troublesome than a neighbouring cat or dog. “Chickens won’t leave your neighbour’s yard and chew up everything and poop all over your place,� she said. Coun. Marg Spina said if the city does bring chickens home to roost, it should charge a fee to backyard hen owners, which would fund any bylaw complaints about noise and odour. More public consultation on the plan is yet to come and a final draft should go to council for debate in July.

Chickens aren’t the only animal featured in the plan. Longer term, the plan raises the possibility of allowing a small number of pigs on lots under eight hectares in the city’s more rural ares and allowing goats for weed control on lots smaller than one acre. Mayor Peter Milobar said the amount of regulations and enforcement that could be required — especially if backyard hen keepers and gardeners start selling eggs or jams — could be too much for the city and the Interior Health Authority to handle. “It’s no secret I have concerns around the urban or suburban or

There are better ways to start a new season. The Kamloops Venom are undermanned and understaffed heading into the 2015 Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League (TOJLL) campaign. “We’re struggling on both ends,” Venom general manager Jan Antons told KTW. “We’re fighting because we want to stay alive.” The Kelowna Raiders will be in town on Saturday for the Venom’s home and season opener. Game time is 7:30 p.m. at Memorial Arena. Head coach Justin Bosher and GM Antons would like to have as many as 25 runners on their roster, but they are not even close to that number. “We’re sitting at around 12 and, if we’re lucky, we’ll have 15, which is not great,” Antons said. “It’s mainly due to the intermediate rule.” Prior to the 2014 campaign, the junior B league’s member teams voted in a rule that makes it nearly impossible for intermediate-level players, such as the ones in the Lower Mainland-based B.C. Intermediate Lacrosse League, to play games as an affiliated player in the TOJLL. Kamloops was opposed to the rule,

The Kamloops Venom could use players such as 19-year-old Monty Chisholm. He and several other Kamloops products cracked B.C. Intermediate Lacrosse League rosters, which will likely make them ineligible to play in the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League this season.
but the league’s other teams — the Raiders, South Okanagan Flames of Penticton, Vernon Tigers and Armstrong Shamrocks — voted it through. The Venom are feeling the pinch this sea-
son, having lost more players than expected to intermediate teams on the Coast and Vancouver Island. Monty Chisholm, Colton Boomer, Ethan Milobar and Riley Peterson are among
those who cracked intermediate rosters. “We want that rule overturned because we need those players,” Antons said. “We just don’t have enough. “Sure, we could go
out and sign a million players, but the last thing you want is to put a team out there that cannot compete. Its not fair to anybody.” The Snakes nearly slithered into oblivion over the winter, but scrambled to salvage the season, finding a head coach, a GM and forming an executive committee. With governor Colin Knox’s departure, the executive group weakened and the Venom are in need of more volunteers. “On the management side, it’s basically a two- or three-man show right now,” Antons said. “We still need help. We can’t sustain the program.” Those interested in lending a hand can email Antons at jantons@bclc.com. The Venom will be working closely with the Kamloops Minor Lacrosse Association’s midget team, which is coached by Doug Clark, also an assistant coach with the Venom. “We’ll be using midget call-ups and, with the intermediate players, we’re still dealing with the B.C. Lacrosse Association,” said Antons, who is also trying to woo several local players out of early retirement. Read more about the intermediateplayer rule — there are differing opinions on its enforcement — and the Venom’s off-season struggles at kamloopsthisweek.com.

’m just here to tell you this has to stop. Hey man, I’m just here to tell you this has to stop. Like I said, all I’m doing is saying this has to stop. Big Buff and P.K. are the latest to dodge legitimate inquiries from the media by repeating again and again phrases that don’t answer the questions. When Marshawn Lynch middle-fingered the NFL and commissioner Roger Goodell by uttering, “I’m just here so I won’t get fined” more than 20 times in a media scrum leading up to the Super Bowl, it was fresh, he was making a point and there were funny elements to his act. Massive overkill in the media — here at work, when we pay too much attention to a particular story, I use the phrase, “a classic KTW over-pumping” — ensued and the aftershocks of Lynch’s repetitive remarks are still resonating. The developing trend of athletes stonewalling reporters with monotonous non-answer answers has made its way to Canada, to the NHL’s Stanley Cup playoffs. Habs’ D-man P.K. Subban turned lumberjack and two-hand slashed Mark Stone of the Ottawa Senators in Game 1 of their first-round Eastern Conference series. Subban received a game misconduct and,

HASTINGS
while the Canadiens still won and the star blue-liner avoided suspension, his lumber work could have hurt the team. Before the next game, Rogers reporter David Amber asked him about summoning his inner Paul Bunyan and P.K. answered, “I’m focusing on my team and nothing else.” Amber pursued the line of questioning and Subban repeated his response, keeping a straight face until he cracked, smiled and ice-danced away from the interview. There were plenty of hockey fans — you know, the people who pay player salaries — who wanted to know how P.K. felt his actions affected the series. We were robbed of any informative insight. Of course, the media deserves blame for paying so much attention to these ridiculous interviews. Seeing how much reaction they get fuels attention-lovers like Subban to get in on the act.

Fans deserved answers From page A15
The panel ate up the AmberSubban interaction and the pointless parlance was plastered across the Rogers network — hey look, P.K. did a Marshawn! On Monday night, Dustin Byfuglien of the Winnipeg Jets made a bonehead play, bulldogging (it’s a WWE move) Corey Perry to the ice after he scored a perfectly legitimate goal. The Ducks didn’t score on the ensuing power play, but the idiotic lapse in judgment could easily have cost Winnipeg the game. Big Buff was prepared for the media on Tuesday morning, answering 90 seconds’ worth of questions about the incident with variances of this phrase: “If we stick together as a team, we’ll be all right.” Again, we were robbed of any informative insight. I understand players and teams have the right to try to keep certain things under wraps
P.K. Subban
— injuries, game plans and any other information they want to keep in-house. They have their message. They have their spin. They don’t tell us everything. It’s our job to sift through and translate the hockey-speak. The P.K. and Big Buff incidents were different. Fans had a right to know what the hell they were thinking and, in Byfuglien’s situation, the reporters who made the trek to the rink and waited for their allotted player-access time had a right to get real answers. Byfuglien could have just
said, ‘Hey, I made a mistake,” and P.K. could have at least addressed the issue. In both situations, neither player would have been hurting the team with their remarks, if they chose them wisely. Dustin knows the way he answered those questions only brings more attention to his blunder, doesn’t he? If he would have apologized for morphing into Chris Jericho at an inopportune time, guys like me wouldn’t still be writing about it and calling him a bonehead. The problem hasn’t become too prevalent, but it’s worrying to picture a media landscape in which making a mockery of the interview becomes an accepted way to sidestep tough questions. The jig is up. It’s not funny anymore. Answer the questions. The jig is up. It’s not funny anymore. Answer the questions. The jig is up. It’s not funny anymore. Answer the questions.

MORTGAGE MATTERS The Annual Mortgage Check-up For many Canadians, a mortgage is a once-every-five-year-chore. Fears about rates, costs and changes make this as enjoyable as paying taxes. However, a mortgage should be a tool to help you reach your goals, and that means planning. Life changes often dictate different mortgage strategies: are you starting or growing a family, starting a business, experiencing loss or interruption of income, planning home renovations, purchasing investment property or facing other major expenditures? A mortgage review can assess if your current mortgage’s interest rate, payments and options will help reach your goals. Low interest rates make it a good time for homeowners to give their mortgage a second look. Here are some common reasons to revisit your mortgage: •Paying down your mortgage faster: If you receive extra cash like an inheritance, tax refund or a work bonus, think about putting it toward your mortgage. For example, paying an extra $3,000 once every year toward the principal on a $250,000 mortgage can result in interest savings of $42,442 over the life of the mortgage, assuming a 25-year amortization and a fixed rate of 4.19%. •Lowering monthly payments: Renegotiating for a lower interest rate or higher amortization can protect your finances from unforeseen expenses, reduced income, and allow you to save up a rainy day fund. •Debt consolidation: Boost your cash flow or pay down your debt faster by taking high interest debt like a credit card balance and consolidating it into your mortgage. Your debt moves from multiple high payments, into one lower mortgage payment. Most lenders allow extra payments of 20% per year, so pay more when you have more! •Securing a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC): A HELOC can help you access lower-cost funds for investing, such as topping up your RRSP or TFSA contribution. It can also help you pay for home improvement projects or just be available for peace of mind. •Improving credit: A mortgage professional can discuss any credit concerns or issues and coach you on how to improve your credit score. Good credit advice can help you work toward cheaper future borrowing costs and better mortgage options. •Identifying concerns: Mortgages are supposed to work for you. If you are unsure about specific mortgage functions or benefits, an annual check-up can be a great time to discuss concerns, learn how to set up extra payments, change your payment date and more. In the end, a yearly mortgage checkup could reveal that the best course of action is no change at all… there is satisfaction in knowing that as well! Whether you are a first-time homebuyer, up for renewal or refinancing, there are many unique and competitive products available on the market today. For more information about qualifying for a mortgage or if you have questions about your specific situation, please call 250 682 6077 or e-mail steve.bucher@migroup.ca or check out my website at www.mortgagebuilder.ca Today’s Mortgage Matters is brought to you by Steve Bucher.

Pack weigh in on new divisions ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
It’s a change that brings new meaning to the term “scheduling quirk.” Beginning with the 2015 Canada West season, Thompson Rivers University’s men’s and women’s soccer teams will be playing markedly different schedules. For the WolfPack men, the slate will be nearly identical to 2014’s. For the women, the changes are many and greater costs and more travel are the result. In February, and at a subsequent meeting, Canada West’s athletic directors decided on a new schedule and restructured divisions for soccer — at least on the women’s side of the ball. Soccer is set to become the only sport in Canada West to boast different schedules for its men’s and women’s teams. “I’m looking forward to it,” WolfPack women’s head coach Tom McManus said. Under the new arrangement, women’s soccer will be divided into what TRU’s coach referred to as “quads” (in essence, divisions). Thompson Rivers will join UBC-Okanagan
TRU and UNBC will be in the same division under realignment in women’s soccer.
of Kelowna, UNBC of Prince George and Edmonton-based Alberta in one of two quads in a B.C.-based conference. The other B.C. quad includes UBC, Victoria, Abbotsford’s Fraser Valley and Langley’s Trinity Western. “They’re still going to be very tough divisions,” he said. “UNBC will come out hard. They’re improving every year. UBC-O and us will battle and, of course, U of A, which is basically the top team over in the Prairie Division. It’s going to be a hard fight.” The Prairies will also have two quads in a

conference of eight, with Mount Royal, MacEwan, Calgary and Lethbridge likely to be in one quad and Saskatchewan, Regina, Winnipeg and Manitoba in the other. TRU will play each team in its own quad twice — home and away — and each team in the other B.C. division once. They will also play four games against the Prairie conference — on the road to play Manitoba and Winnipeg and at home to Mount Royal and MacEwan. The top three teams in each quad will make the playoffs, with the top team from the B.C. conference playoffs to play the top Prairies team. Oddly, TRU’s quad is expected to change from season to season. This year, Alberta joins the three B.C. clubs, but only for a two-year stint. After two seasons, Canada West will cycle other Alberta teams — Mount Royal and MacEwan for instance — through. The new arrangement will also mean the women will play two more games than the men this season, hitting the pitch 14 times, while the men will play 12, as they did last season. “From our standpoint, obviously, it’s a little bit disappointing because we thought a
new schedule for both programs was going to be set out,” men’s soccer coach John Antulov said. “Obviously, we want to play more games and we obviously want to travel a bit more, so not having that happen was a bit disappointing.” He said Canada West is still looking at possible changes for 2016. As it stands, the Pack men will play each of the six teams in their conference — UBC, Victoria, Trinity Western, UNBC, UBC-Okanagan and Fraser Valley — twice. The new alignment brings significant logistical changes for TRU. In general, men’s and women’s teams travel together in the Canada West, playing after one another in the same cities each weekend. That will no longer be the case for the WolfPack soccer teams, which will likely be in different locales each week. The women will also have their trip to Manitoba, which athletic director Ken Olynyk estimated could cost the program as much as $70,000. While the new alignment is set for 2015, Antulov is hoping there can be some changes made for 2016. Both Pack teams will get their seasons underway on Sept. 12.

The TRU WolfPack bid adieu to Norbrock Stadium on the weekend, playing their final home turf action against the Vancouver Island Baseball Institute Mariners and the Okanagan College Coyotes. The Pack lost both games against the Coyotes, but captured a pair of victories against the Mariners. TRU closed out the home portion of its schedule with an 11-5 record. TRU will play its next two weekends on the road before heading to Lethbridge for the Canadian College Baseball Conference championship. The WolfPack opened the weekend with a 5-4 loss to the Coyotes, but rebounded with an 8-7 walk-off win against the Mariners on Saturday night. Luc Simpson played

Questions abound as Canucks head home DARREN HAYNES
THE CANADIAN PRESS
CALGARY — The Vancouver Canucks flew back home after Tuesday night’s 3-1 Game 4 loss to the Calgary Flames facing a number of questions. Among them are who starts in goal in Game 5 and what has happened to Vancouver’s penalty kill. Trailing 3-1 in the first-round series, there is no more wiggle room for error. “We’re a confident group when we’ve faced elimination before,” Canucks’ defenceman Kevin Bieksa said. “The last one’s the toughest one to win, so we go back home and we put everything we can into that one, try to get that game and then put the pressure back on them.” In net, Ryan Miller made his first appearance of the series starting the second period
after Eddie Lack was beaten three times on seven shots in the opening 20 minutes. Miller, who missed six weeks at the end of the season with a knee injury, was perfect on 15 shots. Canucks coach Willie Desjardins said he has in his mind who will get the call, but he would not reveal what he’s thinking. “I thought he played really well,” said Desjardins of Miller. “If he’s 100 per cent or not, I’ll have to see after the game.” While Lack had no chance on the first goal and the second was a deflection, he blamed himself on the third goal, a shot off the wing that glanced in off Sam Bennett as he crashed the net. “The first two went in, two goals on four shots, then you start over-challenging,” Lack said. His save percentage in the series fell to .886 after Game 4.
The Canucks are staring down elimination in Game 5 as the series shifts back to Vancouver. ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW
“You want it so much, but goaltending doesn’t work that way. “I felt like I was overcommitting a little too much to the shot. It was credited to Sam Bennett but I think it would have gone in anyhow. It’s a shot that I’ve got to have. I felt like I was out of position.”
The penalty kill is another area of concern. Vancouver had the second-best penalty kill during the regular season, but has given up four power-play goals on 11 tries in the playoffs. The inability to kill two early penalties cost
Blue Jays
Snider embracing return to Toronto MELISSA COUTO
THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Travis Snider still remembers the first time he had a real steak dinner in Toronto. It was his rookie season with the Blue Jays and veteran teammates Vernon Wells and Aaron Hill took him to a fancy restaurant in the city’s downtown core. On Monday night — a day before returning to Rogers Centre for the first time since being traded to Pittsburgh in 2012 — Snider went back to that same steak house. “I had a nice Kobe steak,” said Snider, now an outfielder with the Baltimore Orioles. “[It was] a great way to say welcome back.” Snider was 2-for-4 with a strikeout and a run scored in Baltimore’s 13-6 loss against Toronto on Tuesday night, the first of a three-game series between the two American League East clubs. While he’s off to a hot start with the Orioles this season — batting .325 through 12 games — he didn’t always enjoy that level of success. Selected in the first round (14th overall) by the Blue Jays in the 2006 draft, Snider mostly failed to meet the lofty expectations placed on him during
his time in Toronto. He battled injuries, multiple demotions to triple-A, and even lost the starting left-fielder job out of spring training to Eric Thames in 2012. “It wasn’t until I started to struggle and get sent down, you go through the roller-coaster of emotion as a young player and as you mature you understand that balance is key . . .’’ Snider said before Tuesday’s game. “That’s how I simplify things now. Show up to the ball park and have a plan and execute that plan in practice. And when the game rolls around, go play. Evaluate yourself at the end of the day, shower and get ready for tomorrow.” Snider spent two-and-a-half seasons with the Pirates before being traded to Baltimore in January. The 27-year-old has had time to “decompress” the negative aspects of his career in Toronto. Now, he says, he can look back on his four-plus years in the city as a “valuable experience.” And he credits the fans for that. “I’m thankful for all the interactions I’ve had,” Snider said. “There was a lot of good and bad and the fans here in Toronto and Canada had my back all the way through that.”
BAUTISTA SIDELINED WEDNESDAY BY SHOULDER STRAIN TORONTO — Blue Jays right-fielder Jose Bautista was expected to be out for last night’s game between Toronto and the Baltimore Orioles with a strained right shoulder. Bautista had been struggling with nagging shoulder pain, but injured himself throwing from right field to first base in Tuesday’s 13-6 win over Baltimore. Bautista had gotten into an argument with Orioles outfielder Adam Jones between the eighth and ninth innings on Tuesday. Jones felt Bautista had showboatted after hitting a home run in the eighth, while the Blue Jays allstar was angry Baltimore reliever Jason Garcia had thrown behind him. Toronto manager John Gibbons said yesterday’s move was strictly for Bautista’s health and not to avoid any retribution.
them as the Flames took a 3-1 lead after the first period despite being outshot 11-7. “The first one was late in the kill, the second one hit a stick in front,” Desjardins said. “It’s not like they’ve dominated but they found ways. They’re a high-skilled group,
they’re going to get chances.” Bieksa knows it’s an area where they need to be better. “The PK has got to do a better job and we have to bail out some of these penalties,” he said. “The penalty kill’s been a strong suit all
year, but we’re letting too many shots from the point right now and they’re finding a way in on us.” In a stretch of postseason misery that dates back to Game 6 of the 2011 Stanley Cup final against Boston, the Canucks have lost 13 of their last 15 playoff games. Now they’re faced with the daunting task of winning three straight against a young Calgary team brimming with confidence. “Take today, be mad, be a little bit pissed off, then come back to work tomorrow and prepare for Game 5,” Lack said. Vancouver has come back from a 3-1 deficit three times previously, most recently in the first round in 2003 when they did it against the St. Louis Blues. But the immediate focus is extending the series beyond tonight.
Victim’s family to sue ex-Patriot Hernandez MICHELLE SMITH
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — The mother of a man slain by former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez is moving forward with a lawsuit against him. Her lawyer said yesterday his first step is to figure out how much money Hernandez has left and where he’s keeping it. Lawyer Douglass Sheff also said during a news conference that he plans to call Hernandez to testify when the case goes to trial, though that could be years away. He said Ursula Ward, the mother of Odin Lloyd, wants to look him in the eye when he testifies. “She wants to ask what happened. Very simple: ‘What happened?’ And the next question: ‘Why?’” Sheff said, calling Lloyd’s death an unthinkable loss. Hernandez did not testify at his criminal trial. He was convicted April 15 of first-degree murder for killing Lloyd on June 17, 2013, for reasons that remain unclear. At the time, Hernandez had a $40-million contract with the Patriots. Hernandez’s lawyer, John Fitzpatrick, did not immediately return a message seeking comment. Lloyd, 27, was dating the sister of Hernandez’s fiancee. Hernandez picked him up and drove him to
an industrial park near his home, where Lloyd was shot six times. The lawsuit seeking unspecified damages was filed in December 2013 but was put on hold during the criminal trial. Sheff said he plans to file papers in the next few weeks to resume the lawsuit so he can hunt down Hernandez’s assets. One asset they do know about is his home in North Attleborough, which is assessed at $1.2 million. Hernandez’s fiancee and twoyear-old daughter live there. Donald Grady, another of Ward’s lawyers, said Hernandez was paid more than $9.2 million of his $40-million contract. They are awaiting the outcome of a grievance filed against the Patriots by the NFL Players Association on Hernandez’s behalf, Grady said. The union says he is owed an additional $6.2 million from his contract, though the team argues it doesn’t owe him anything. The Patriots and Ward’s lawyers have agreed that if it is determined the team owes him more money, it will not pay Hernandez, but will instead hold onto the money and alert them and the court. Sheff said he’s not confident Hernandez has any money left after defending himself in the criminal trial, but that Hernandez clearly made millions during his career. He said Lloyd’s family isn’t in it for the money because no amount can compensate for their loss.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of our beloved husband, son-in-law, father, papa and friend, Kim Vogelsang Sorensen, who passed away on April 15, 2015. Kim was born on June 13, 1945 in Copenhagen, Denmark to Georg and Valborg Sorensen. At the age of 6 years old, he sailed to Canada with his family where they resided in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It was on Grand Beach in 1965, where he met his loving wife of 47 years, Barbara Jean Parker. They married in June 1968 and honeymooned across the prairies before settling in Kamloops, BC, where Kim became manager of Cam-Gard Supply until 1975. In 1976, he became a buyer for School District #73 until his retirement in 2005. From an early age, Kim was a natural athlete excelling in many sports. He played junior hockey for the Winnipeg Braves and junior football for the Weston Wildcats earning him an invitation to try out for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. He continued to play hockey until March of this year and was looking forward to hitting the golf course with his many golf buddies. Kim took much pride in the Westsyde home that he and Barb had built in 1970. It is there they raised their three daughters and cared for many family pets. He enjoyed taking care of the beautiful gardens, the many fruit trees, his putting green and of course, the swimming pool. He also enjoyed fishing, camping and traveling all over Canada and the US with his family, and many excursions around the world with Barb. Kim was all about his family and spending time with his close friends. He was a kind-hearted soul and could strike up a conversation with anyone. He was famous for his not-so-funny jokes but if he was laughing, so were you. Kim was predeceased by his parents, Georg (1999) and Valborg (2001) and his brother, Tom (1968). He will always be remembered and loved by his wife Barbara, in-laws David and Adeline Parker, daughters Tracey (Wayde) Simpson, Shauna (Lance) Kissack and Jodi (Cole) Sorensen. He will be sadly missed by his grandchildren Alexa, Shayne and Aryn Simpson, Erika and Evan Kissack, Parker and Jack Mailsen and the newest additions, Jessica and Connor Brewer. He leaves behind his best friend of 57 years, Ted Bialy, and numerous friends he has made throughout his young 69 years.

No service upon Kim’s request but a celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Kamloops Hospice Association

CALGARY MAN GETS 27 MONTHS IN PRISON FOR 18-YEAROLD’S DEATH ON B.C. LAKE JOE FRIES
THE CANADIAN PRESS
A Calgary boater has been sentenced to 27 months in prison for the death of an 18-yearold man he refused to help after hitting him on B.C. lake. Ryan Symington, 30, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing the death of Marco Corbin and leaving the scene of the accident four years ago. The proceedings were briefly interrupted after one of the victim’s three brothers cursed at Symington in the emotionally charged courtroom. “Nothing this court does will bring Marco Corbin back,” provincial court Judge Gale Sinclair said. “And it is even more tragic that when Marco died, his family died emotionally with him. “The sentence, I know, will be totally unacceptable to Mr. Corbin’s family.
“However, I am bound by precedent.” Court heard Symington had been drinking vodka and beer throughout the day on Aug. 16, 2011, while driving his boat on Osoyoos Lake. Around 9:15 p.m., Symington’s boat hit a tube on which Corbin and two other men were riding as it was being towed by a vessel. Witnesses on Symington’s boat told police they urged him to stop and help, but he refused and said he’d probably hit a log, Crown lawyer Mallory Treddenick told court. Symington eventually called 911 and told the operator that someone was dying in the middle of the lake, but offered no other details, Treddenick said. He then drove back to the boat that had been towing Corbin and, after promising

to follow the driver back to shore, went to Haynes Point. There, he instructed people who were with him to tell police that a man with Hells Angels tattoos was driving his boat, Treddenick said. Back on shore, bystanders, including a doctor and off-duty firefighter, tried unsuccessfully to revive Corbin. An autopsy later determined he died of
head trauma. In a series of heartbreaking victim-impact statements read out in court, Corbin’s family described the devastation that followed his death. His father, Bob Corbin, said he was at the family home in Mission when a Mountie came to the door to deliver the news. “That’s when my life stopped. Literally,”
he said, adding he felt such a “seismic body blow” that he went to the bathroom and overdosed on medication his mother had left there. He said he spent several days in a coma and still deals with “the pain and the poison” of his son’s death. Corbin’s mother, Elena Di Giovanni, said her life is now a “war zone of broken doors, broken walls, broken
hearts, broken relationships, broken lives, broken spirits and broken hope.” Di Giovanni described her son, who was set to attend university on an engineering scholarship in the fall of 2011, as a “true Renaissance man who loved music, learning and life.” Defence lawyer Balfour Der said his client, who has worked as an oil driller and framer
and faced a maximum of 14 years in prison, displayed an absence of care, but did not commit a deliberate act. After his lawyer finished, Symington turned to the gallery and said, “Sorry to the family.” Before he was led out of the courtroom in handcuffs, Symington told his wife, who sobbed quietly as his sentence was read, that he loves her.
Woman, three kids dead in apparent murder suicide THE CANADIAN PRESS
RCMP say they believe a man went to a mobile home in rural Saskatchewan and killed a woman and her three children, but spared an infant. They say he then took the six-month-old baby and drove 130 kilometres from the town of Tisdale to Prince Albert, where he killed himself. “The infant was not injured and is now being cared for by family members,’’ RCMP spokeswoman Mandy Maier
told reporters yesterday. She said officers received a call from a family member about supper-time Tuesday saying that the woman and children hadn’t been heard from all day and couldn’t be reached. About six hours later, after officers obtained a search warrant, they found the woman and children dead in a trailer in Wicks’ Mobile Home Park. The children were all under the age of nine. Police have not revealed how they died, but believe they were killed before they were reported missing.
Maier said an investigation quickly led officers to the suspect in Prince Albert. Maier said the baby and two other adults were found alive in a home there. It’s not expected that they will face criminal charges. She said the suspect was known to the victims but could not give more details on their relationship or a possible motive. “There is no risk to public safety and investigators do not anticipate laying any criminal charges relating to these four deaths,’’ she said. No names have
been released. “It’s a shocker,” said the manager of the Wicks’ Mobile Home Park and Gas Bar on the edge of the town. Looking out his window, he said he could see several RCMP cruisers parked near one of his trailers surrounded with yellow tape. He wouldn’t give his name, but said the dead woman and children had lived in one of his rental trailers for the past eight months, along with her husband and a young baby. He described them as a quiet and friendly family. RCMP phoned him
late Tuesday. “I was called to come down at midnight and asked if I had a spare key for the place.” He said the husband of the dead woman was also there and appeared very distraught. “About all we can say is yes, we are in shock and very saddened by this event,” said Tisdale Mayor Al Jellicoe. “We are a very close-knit community and, when a tragic event happens here, it affects us all.” Tisdale, a town of about 3,200 people, is located
210 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon. It may be best known as the hometown of comedian Brent Butt, who modeled his popular Corner Gas TV show after his experiences working in a gas station in the community. Premier Brad Wall also sent condolences out on Twitter soon after news spread of the killings. “Our thoughts and prayers to the family, friends and community dealing with the indescribable tragedy in Tisdale,’’ he said.

SING ALONG
Danielle Faulkner leads the Kamloops Power Choir through warmup during its drop-in singing night. JESSICA WALLACE/KTW
IF YOU FEEL LIKE THAT’S WHAT YOU WANNA DO JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
D
anielle Faulkner is in front of a keyboard, sheet music and a seated crowd of more than 30 people, many meeting for the first time, all there to sing. “This is the Kamloops Power Choir,” Faulkner tells the group. “You are the Kamloops Power Choir.” Faulkner, a Kamloops Symphony Orchestra voice teacher, is one of two who lead the weekly drop-in sing-along nights,
idi singers i ll experii providing off all ence levels with a warm-up, some tips and, eventually, taking them through the chorus of a familiar song. “Because I’m happy.” “Clap along if you feel like that’s what you wanna do,” the room, which Faulkner has split into two groups, sings together. Kathy Sinclair admits with a laugh to forming the Kamloops Power Choir for selfish reasons. The organizer, who is also executive director of the Kamloops Arts Council, likes to belt it out every once in a while but had no desire to join a formal group that would require audi-
ti i and d commitment. it t N tioning Nor does she want to lend her voice to a local karaoke night at a bar. It didn’t leave Sinclair with many options so, in September, she and others began meeting casually for an hour on Wednesdays to sing. “There’s a need for it,” Sinclair told KTW, when it caught up with the group during a recent session. She got the idea from Toronto group Choir! Choir! Choir!, which began in 2011 and has since performed alongside Patti Smith and at events like the Juno Awards and TEDx. The Kamloops Power Choir began in space at the Old
24TH ANNUAL
C th C Courthouse Cultural Centre before numbers dwindled and it moved to The Ploughman’s Lunch when one of the owners, who had also been attending the sessions, volunteered the space. With no seat left in the Victoria Street restaurant, it’s back to the Courthouse, said Sinclair. Wherever they end up — possibly also performing at the Farmers’ Market this summer — with the energy in the room, the group has accomplished what it set out to do: sing and have fun. The Kamloops Power Choir meets Wednesdays at the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre, 7 West Seymour St.
The drop-in sessions begin at 7 p.m. and include sheet music and a brief lesson on singing a pre-selected song with those who show up. Admission is $5 at the door, which covers printing fees and an honorarium for the teachers. Amateur singers are encouraged to participate.

Maxima redesign aims to boost sedan’s sales last redesign in 2009. By contrast, Nissan sold more than 335,000 midsize Altimas and nearly 200,000 Rogue SUVs last year, according to Autodata Corp. More than 8,400 people work at the Nissan plant that built 648,000 vehicles last year, making it the highestproducing plant in North America. The plant, which opened in 1983, makes the Altima, Maxima, Leaf, Rogue, Pathfinder and Infiniti QX60. Nissan last month announced plans to build a new 1.5 million-square-foot logistics centre next to the plant by the end of 2017. Nissan North America Chairman Jose Munoz has called the supplier park a key component in the company’s drive toward capturing 10 per cent of the U.S. market share.
VW edges out GM in 1Q sales worldwide
THE CANADIAN PRESS
DETROIT — Volkswagen Group edged out General Motors again to take at least second place in the race to be the world’s top-selling automaker. The German automaker said it sold 2.49million Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda and other brand vehicles from January through March. That figure was up 1.8 per cent from a year ago. GM said it sold 2.42-million Chevrolet, Opel, Buick, Cadillac, GMC and other branded vehicles. That was up 1.9 per cent compared to last year. Toyota says it will report first-quarter global sales next week. The Japanese company has been the world’s top-selling automaker for the past three years.

IT’S WHEAT BEER SEASON BEER SPECS Driftwood Brewery’s White Bark Witbier, five per cent ABV, 650 mL, regular series.
S Tai Wei Lee, owner of Sunmei Taiwanese Cuisine, told KTW Taiwanese braised ribs are simple, with just 15 minutes of preparation work. “Put all the ingredients in a deep pot or a slow cooker,” he said. “Then, you’ll enjoy succulent and juicy ribs.”
PORK RIBS IN THE CROCK POT Kamloops This Week is amping up its inner foodie in 2015. The biweekly Cuisine page looks a bit different this year. Each month, we will highlight recipes as they correspond to various cultural holidays. Those recipes will come from foodies in the community — from restaurant chefs and owners to home cooks — along with a brief explanation of the dish and holiday. This series will be paired with KTW reporter Andrea Klassen’s beer column on the Cuisine page every second Thursday. Bon apetit!
This month, KTW is featuring Taiwanese food in honour of the Qingming festival, also known as Tomb Sweeping Day. The public holiday earlier this month is a memorial day of sorts.
Families visit cemeteries to clean graves of relatives and pay respects to those who have died. While this tradition also occurs in China, Taiwan specifically celebrates the anniver-

unlight? Daylight saving time? Bah. I can tell it’s spring because all I want to do is drink wheat-based beers. Driftwood’s offering actually felt like something my ciderdrinking partner in reviewing might enjoy (if she didn’t hate all beer) — or, at least, like something a very occasional cider drinker could almost mistake for same. Light, quite dry and with a tartness that’s more Granny Smith apple than traditional orange to my tastebuds, White Bark’s not a particularly loud offering in this beer style. The coriander is fairly subdued and, while there’s brightness and sharpness, it doesn’t remind me of orange, particularly. It’s also a very short sip, if you know what I mean — while some beers linger on your tongue long after you’ve taken a drink, White Bark is content to get gone pretty quickly. The plus here is

RIDER it’s easy to drink this stuff without feeling weighed down by the taste — something that can be a plus in a warm-weather beer and I might like more when it’s really scorching in the summer — but, compared to the other Driftwood offerings I’ve tasted, this one seemed a little subdued. I mean, Fat Tug’s basically a two-pint guitar solo. White Bark is more backyard barbecue playlist. Not bad, certainly, but not quite what I expected.
