City residents will go to the polls in byelection ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone and Kamloops-North Thompson Peter Milobar, both elected as Liberals on May 9, speak to the press on Wednesday at Stone’s constituency office on Victoria Street.

READY TO BE IN OPPOSITION

CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The city’s two Liberal MLAs accused the proposed “GreeNDP” government of ignoring the Interior and North — except in their promises to kill off job-creating projects.

Incumbent Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone and MLA-elect Peter Milobar of Kamloops-North Thompson met with reporters Wednesday to speak on developments since announcement by the NDP and Greens that they will form a coalition government with a com-

bined 44 seats to the Liberals’ 43. In a wide-ranging questionand-answer session, the pair said they will go into the legislature when it convenes with the intention of forming government, including a throne speech and budget. See GREENDP, A4

At least three council positions will be up for grabs when Kamloops voters go to the polls in a fall byelection. On Tuesday, City of Kamloops corporate officer Cindy Kennedy said Coun. Marg Spina has submitted a formal letter of resignation, which will bring her council career to an end on June 30. Mayor Peter Milobar, who was due to take an unpaid leave of absence from council following his election as MLA for Kamloops-North Thompson, confirmed to KTW he will also resign, most likely on the same date. Spina told council earlier this month she was planning to resign as the cancer she has been undergoing treatment for since the beginning of the year is not curable. “My thoughts are really more to Marg and her personal battle and wanting to support her,” Milobar said. “I fully support the decision she’s made around this.” Milobar said the byelection could add new diversity to council and allow new councillors an additional year to deal with the often steep learning curve that comes with local government office. “It could also provide a bit of stability, if you look at the makeup around the

council table,” he said. Kennedy said once Spina resigns, the city will likely appoint a chief electoral officer at its next meeting on July 18. After that, a byelection must be held within 80 days. It will most likely come in September. Kennedy said any councillors interested in taking a run at the mayor’s seat would have 14 days to resign. That’s because local government officials can hold a position at a higher level of government at the same time, but cannot hold two municipal offices. Coun. Ken Christian has previously announced his intentions to run for the mayor’s chair and Milobar noted there may be other councillors still considering a run. Milobar said he thinks the city can work through a temporary loss of at least one-third of council. “We wanted to make sure we had the budget fully completed before even the provincial election, and everything else will be figured out in the byelection before council would normally start getting very deep into the [2018] budget,” he said. “And we still have our strategic plan, which is the guiding document staff work off of.” The cost of a byelection with 19 polling stations has been pegged by the city at approximately $125,000.

The family of a man who shot and killed a romantic rival in a Salmon Arm schoolyard nearly nine years ago cried and hugged each other in a Kamloops courtroom on Wednesday after a B.C. Supreme Court judge decided not to hand the man a life sentence. Now 25, the killer was 16 years old when he murdered 22-year-old Tyler Myers on Nov. 21, 2008. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sheri Donegan decided to sentence him as a youth, despite an application from prosecutors seeking an adult life sentence. The killer has been in custody since his arrest in November 2012. He will serve six new years in a provincial prison before being released to serve four years under supervision in the community. If he had been sentenced as an adult, he would have likely spent about the same amount of time behind bars, but would have been bound by parole conditions for the rest of his life. Donegan ruled the killer, whose name is protected by the Youth Criminal Justice Act, had been manipulated by his then-girlfriend, 17-year-old Monica Sikorski. Myers and the killer were both involved romantically with Sikorski, who was sentenced to life in prison last year after pleading guilty to second-degree murder. Donegan described Sikorski as the manipulative catalyst behind Myers’ murder. She described the killer as a socially immature and

emotionally vulnerable teenager who gave little thought to the consequence of his actions. “I think the judge made the right decision,” said the killer’s mother, who cannot be named to protect her son’s identity. “He was held responsible for what happened. . . . He is a good person who made a huge mistake. It doesn’t make him a bad person.” Sikorski and the killer hatched a plan to lure Myers to the schoolyard of Bastion elementary in Salmon Arm with the intent of scaring him, court heard. The killer borrowed a rifle from a friend and hid in a stand of trees while Sikorski left Myers in a pre-determined location. The killer’s first shot struck Myers. He emerged from the wooded area and delivered two additional shots, including one to the back of Myers’ head at Sikorski’s urging. After the murder, Sikorski began dating Myers’ best friend and her relationship with the killer dissolved. Sikorski and the killer were interviewed by police in the days after the murder, but denied any involvement. They were only arrested after police launched an undercover Mr. Big sting in 2012. The killer’s parents were present for each appearance he made in B.C. Supreme Court, from trivial pre-trial hearings to his jury trial last June. Donegan cited that support in handing down her sentence, saying the killer, who had no prior criminal record and has been described as “a

model prisoner,” is a low risk to re-offend and has high prospects upon his release from custody. “To say [the killer] is an offender with tremendous family support is an understatement,” the judge said, also noting the seriousness of the crime. “The crime was callous, especially when [the killer] followed the urging of Ms. Sikorski to shoot the prone Mr. Myers in the head . . . I am convinced [the killer] is in the place he is today because his life intersected with that of Ms. Sikorski.” Also in court for nearly all of the proceedings against the killer and Sikorski was Myers’ mother, Barbara. After the sentence was handed down, she told KTW she is relieved it is over and happy with the outcome. “I am really satisfied,” she said. “I’m glad the judge sentenced him as a young offender . . . Like the judge said, she believes he’s repentant. I believe he’s repentant — and now there’s hope. He has a ray of hope to prove to society that he can become a better person.” Court heard the killer has been taking university courses in prison. He plans to have a degree by the time he is released and hopes to work in construction. In addition to prison time, the killer must surrender a sample of his DNA to a national criminal database and will be bound by a lifetime firearms prohibition. Sikorski is expected to become eligible for parole in 2023.

‘GreeNDP’ focus of MLAS STONE SAYS PACT IGNORES INTERIOR, NORTH From A1

Stone said they will do that “under the glare of lights of the assembly, with all 87 MLAs present — not in backroom deals.” Both men said they expect the budget will be defeated, sending them to the Opposition benches, where they promised to advocate for the city and region outside Metro Vancouver and Vancouver Island, where there are just a handful of New Democrats and no Greens. “They’ve [NDP and Greens, what Stone called the “GreeNDP”] neglected to mention anything about their intention to be a government of all British Columbians, including the Interior and Northern B.C.” Stone said, noting the only mention of the region by Green Leader Andrew Weaver and the NDP’s John Horgan is to stop Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline expansion and put BC Hydro’s Site C dam on a

review in front of the B.C. Utilities Commission. Milobar said it will be more difficult to get things done for the city and Thompson valleys while in Opposition. “There will be a little more work for regional districts and municipalities for Todd and I to do if we end up in Opposition,” he said. But the two promised to push ahead with local priorities, including funding expansion to Royal Inland Hospital, expanded nursing and engineering at Thompson Rivers University and four-laning of the Trans-Canada highway. They also foreshadowed their likely Opposition status by criticizing the new coalition government’s proposed referendum in 2018 on proportional representation, moving back the date of the next election by six months and planned increases to the carbon tax. If the two parties do form government, Stone acknowledged it will

put an end to the bellwether status the city has enjoyed for a century. Most recently, the only Opposition member elected in Kamloops was Liberal Kevin Krueger, who won in KamloopsNorth Thompson in 1996 when the NDP won the province under Glen Clark. The MLA on the other side of the river was New Democrat Cathy McGregor. Neither men has been sworn in as an MLA due to the developments since May 9. But Milobar said he will move into the retiring Terry Lake’s office on Tranquille Road, adopting the same space and staff. Meanwhile, Premier Christy Clark will recall the legislature and test its confidence. Clark spoke to reporters at a Tuesday press conference and said she will call the House back in June, likely closer to the beginning of the month, to determine if she can govern as voters asked her to in the May 9 election via her party receiving the most

seats, yet one short of a majority. Though she seemed under no illusion her B.C. Liberals would get the support they need, in light of the pact agreed to by the B.C. NDP and B.C. Greens on Monday afternoon. “We will live up to those responsibilities voters have asked us to carry out,” Clark said. “What’s most important is this basic principle: That if there is going to be a transfer of power, and it certainly seems there will be, it should not be done behind closed doors.” Perhaps the most surprising part of Clark’s Tuesday availability was that she will not resign as the leader of the B.C. Liberal Party should her party lose an early confidence vote. “What I said before the election remains true: I am happy to take on any role the voters ask me to,” she said. “I would be given the job of leader of the Opposition. I’m more than willing to take that job on.”

Walk in the woods leads to rescue of school bus driver TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Police were called to the Isobel Lake area on Monday after a Kamloops-Thompson school district bus driver got lost in the woods while trying to find his bus. School district spokesman Robert Koopmans said the driver had walked a busload of field trippers from Isobel Lake to the district’s McQueen Lake Education Centre on Monday afternoon when he decided to move his bus. The area is 16 kilometres northwest of Kamloops, using Batchelor Drive as it enters the Lac Du Bois grasslands. “He decided he was going

to go back and move the bus out of the sun to a shady place,” Koopmans said, noting the driver took a wrong turn. “He was lost, essentially.” The driver called the district’s office just before 2 p.m. and a relief driver was sent. Police were also called to help find the missing bus driver — one rural detachment constable and a dog team. The bus driver found a fence line and followed it to a road, where he was spotted by the constable.

“The rural member had found the bus driver walking along the road before the dog man got there,” RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said. “He was given a ride back to the bus and he was never in any danger.” Koopmans said parents of the field trippers were contacted and told their children would be back at school by 4 p.m. “They might have been a little bit delayed,” he said. “But parents were notified.”

After nearly a decade of inaction, the unfinished second building of the Mission Hill development will rise as a rental property. Marvin Kwiatkowski, the city’s director of development and engineering services, confirmed Edmonton-based Brentwood Developments has submitted an application for a development permit to complete the building, which has remained a concrete and steel skeleton at the side of the Summit Connector for years. Brentwood also plans to add a third building on the property. Mission Hill’s original building was completed and is occupied by tenant owners. Shane Kozminuk, Brentwood’s director of design and development, said the plan is to create a “premium rental development” with studio, one-, two- and threebedroom units. Both buildings would rise to five storeys.

Council approves $250K Councilonapproves plant $250K on plant President & CEO, BCLC

Kamloops council has approved $250,000 in spending to prevent a repeat of a March shutdown at the city’s water treatment plant. Public works director Jen Fretz told council the work will create backups of the most important programming that controls the treatment process and add surge protection. The issue arose when a cable connecting the plant to its power supply failed, Fretz said.

On bail during appeal completely intractable in his belief he is the victim,” adding “small cracks appeared for the first time at his last court appearance with counsel.” An earlier sentencing hearing was adjourned after Atzenberger began screaming at his former in-laws, emptying the courtroom. For two days at the beginning of the trial last year, his former mother-in-law, Susan Denison, testified Atzenberger entered her home while she was asleep. She said he tore off her covers and grabbed her by the hair, pushing and pulling her. Over the next several hours, she said, Atzenberger sat directly across from her, grilling her about a series of family and financial questions. She said he hit her with hockey gloves on his hands each time he heard an answer he did not like from the 74-year-old woman.

A man sentenced to 18 months in prison for beating his mother-in-law in a bid to escape his family debts is appealing his conviction and sentence and is free on bail. Rudolph Atzenberger was sentenced to 18 months in prison in January for assault causing bodily harm, forcible confinement, break and enter and uttering threats in connection to the events of Oct. 9, 2014. He was granted bail on Feb. 9 pending the outcome of the appeal. No date has been set for the hearing in front of the B.C. Court of Appeal. A case management hearing was held last month. During the Jan. 30 sentencing, B.C. Supreme Court justice Ian Josephson noted “Mr. Atzenberger has been

Denison said Atzenberger, an electrical contractor, then forced her to sign a document absolving him of debts. Atzenberger testified he went to Denison’s home to iron out old differences and attempted to calm her and protect himself when she grew angry and violent. Atzenberger said he tried to pour cold water on Denison and claimed she slipped several times in the shower. Defence lawyer Ken Walker asked for a period of house arrest, while Crown prosecutor Iain Currie urged Josephson to levy two to three years in jail. Josephson said an even longer jail sentence would otherwise be appropriate in a home invasion, but he took into consideration Atzenberger’s age — 57 at the time of sentencing — and the fact he has no previous criminal record.

City sets Ajax meeting dates Kamloops residents will get a first look at the results of the city’s independent review of the proposed Ajax mine in two weeks. Public works director Jen Fretz said a report from SLR Consulting on the mine’s environmental application will be posted to the city’s website, kamloops.ca, on Tuesday, June 13. The report will run approximately 80 pages and offer an assessment of the proposed open-pit copper and gold mine’s effects on air quality and other topics of concern. “In each of those subject areas, it will talk about the things they were happy with, essentially, the things there are concerns with, and then they’ll also include suggested or recommended

conditions,” Fretz said. SLR will present its findings at a town hall meeting on Monday, June 19, at 6 p.m. at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre, 1250 Rogers Way in Aberdeen. Councillors will meet for more presentations on Thursday, June 22, before meeting again in July to decide how to respond to KGHM’s mining proposal south of Aberdeen. Fretz said staff is reviewing a draft of the report, largely to make sure it is understandable to the public when it is presented. “We have one go at this and we want to make sure we’re putting the best product forward,” she said.

LOCAL NEWS The South Thompson River is rising rapidly as can be seen by the limited space between the water and the CN Rail bridge that spans the river at Riverside Park.

City prepares for possible flooding Kamloops’ director of parks is hoping the city won’t have to deploy major flooding countermeasures in Riverside Park as the river rises. Byron McCorkell said staff has already closed the portion of the Rivers Trail linking Riverside and Pioneer parks because of rising water levels. On Wednesday, the city also elected to shut down the Pioneer Park pier. “We are talking about potentially

having to bag off Riverside Park like we did in 2012, if it’s going to get to that level,” McCorkell said. But he is hoping the city will be able to avoid setting up the sand-filled gabion baskets it used during the last flooding event, which he said required significant cleanup and repairs to the park. “There was a lot of repair afterwards, so we’re going to have to

weigh that out,” he said. McCorkell said while river forecasts predict the Thompson rivers could rise to flooding levels, there’s still a margin of error of about a metre in those predictions. If water levels do rise, McCorkell said the city will likely also have to close at least one field on McArthur Island, due to wet conditions from groundwater seepage.

WILL GREEN-NDP PACT IMPACT AJAX?

he twists and turns in post-election B.C. will create waves that may alter the province from north to south in myriad and profound ways, including right here in Kamloops. While Premier Christy Clark has vowed to follow tradition, form government this month and test the legislature’s confidence via a vote on the B.C. Liberal government’s throne speech, it is only a matter of time until her government is defeated (notwithstanding a Liberal coup to entice a non-Liberal MLA or two to cross the floor). We will then have an NDP minority government propped up by the support of the three Green MLAs, who have vowed to support the New Democrats on all matters of confidence (budget and supply bills). The NDP-Green pact has all eyes on various sectors as energy projects, the way we vote, minimum wage, tax rates, transportation, political donations and much more become caught up in the seismic shift that is expected to accompany the slimmest of possible majorities making decisions. The fate of a project that has divided Kamloops for a decade, the proposed Ajax open-pit copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen — could be in the hands of a government desired by opponents of the KGHM proposal. Remember, after all this time — after the numerous public meetings, including the City of Kamloops’ trio this month and next and after the extended review period — the proposed mine requires the approval of BOTH Ottawa and Victoria. If one side nixes the proposal, it is dead. During the recent provincial election campaign, only the two local Green candidates — Donovan Cavers and Dan Hines — stated their opposition to Ajax. The Liberal and NDP candidates would not stake a claim to clearly supporting nor opposing the project, though Liberal Todd Stone did say he hopes the mine can be approved pending meeting all conditions. If the NDP-Green alliance can survive long enough, will it mean Ajax’s prospects for survival have diminished? If so, how significantly? There are many moving parts to this dynamic political development and they will continue to shift in Kamloops and beyond.

Yes, Liberals won election

ome of the news outlets that breathlessly covered the recent B.C. election as if it was a sporting event had trouble digesting the final score. It’s 43-41-3. The B.C. Liberals got the most votes and the most seats. They won. Christy Clark is still premier until the B.C. Liberal government is defeated in a confidence vote in the legislature or she decides to resign as party leader. We will see results of this in the days ahead. Even without the support of three B.C. Green MLAs, who announced Monday they will support the B.C. NDP, Clark will convene the legislature in what amounts to a game of Who Wants Another Election? There are strategic reasons for this. The most obvious one is that while the Liberals raised more money than they were allowed to spend in the formal campaign, the Greens and the NDP are likely in debt if not broke. Another one is that any coalition deal between the Greens and the NDP produces a 44-43 split, a situation as fragile as the one Clark faces. During the tense two weeks that followed election day, the possibility of a slim Liberal majority thanks to CourtenayComox kept all sides from making any serious commitments. What we got were platitudes from Clark about the message from voters being about co-

TOM FLETCHER

Our Man In

VICTORIA operation, ill-advised bluster from Green Leader Andrew Weaver about forcing a change to the voting system without a referendum, and hollow rhetoric from NDP Leader John Horgan that almost 60 per cent of voters rejected the Liberals. In fact, a larger number of voters rejected the NDP. Does Green support from 16.8 per cent of voters, much of it in and around the comfortable isolation of southern Vancouver Island, translate into a mandate for them to adjust the voting system in their favour? It is self-serving nonsense. Does a switch from NDP to Green in two South Island constituencies signal voters’ desire for an NDP-Green coalition? No, it is likely the opposite. The most significant results of B.C.’s 2017 election were new votes attracted by the Greens and a substantial number of Liberal supporters who appear to have stayed home. I suspect many of those Liberal supporters were compla-

cent in their belief the woman in the blue hardhat was cruising to victory. But my subjective guesses are worth the same as those of political science profs who have filled media space in the past couple of weeks. Much has been made of the almost exact split in popular vote — 40.36 per cent for the Liberals and 40.28 for the NDP. Provincewide popular vote is another standard media horserace topic, but it means nothing in practical and legal terms. It’s more useful to consider the rural-urban divide. Horgan made a couple of token swings into the B.C. Interior, campaigned against an oil pipeline expansion approved by the presiding jurisdiction in Ottawa, continued his soft opposition to the Site C dam and benefited from electoral boundary changes in the Fraser Valley and Metro Vancouver. Clark worked the B.C. Interior hard and was rewarded with a near-sweep of seats beyond Hope. Another notable result of the 2017 election is that areas enjoying nation-leading urban prosperity after 16 years of Liberal rule turned away from them, while the Interior regions struggling with high unemployment and depopulation supported an industrial jobs agenda in larger numbers than 2013. We’ll have another election sooner rather than later and more people will pay attention. tfletcher@blackpress.ca Twitter: @tomfletcherbc

RE: STORY: CN RAIL SIDES REACH DEAL, AVOID STRIKE:

WHO STANDS UP FOR YOUR TAXES AT CITY HALL? Editor: As we are now seeing at the provincial and federal levels of politics, a strong opposition is all that stands between reckless spending and massive debt. What about at the city level? At council, a spending proposal is put forward by a councillor or city staffer and it is voted on by the members. Unfortunately, human nature dictates

that if you advocate for a particular plan, you will emphasize the positives and minimize any down side. (A good multi-million-dollar example is city council running to purchase the former Kamloops Daily News property). Council has always put on the “we work together” face, which I see as counter to the ability to ask the tough questions of each other and city staffers. When council can’t even push its own to

act in a professional manner, how hard do council members push each other to cut budgets or kill projects supported by their own? I believe Kamloops and every city needs leadership that isn’t about making friends, but about treating every tax dollar as a privilege, with every project judged on value for money, not “Can we get a grant?” Dennis Giesbrecht Kamloops

PIT Stop program celebrates 20 years ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

n its 20-year run, PIT Stop has become a well-oiled machine — but the modern program bears little resemblance to the Kamloops United Church’s original offering from 1997. For one, it’s not clear if food was part of the original idea in the way it is today. As originally conceived, the weekly drop-in program focused on connecting people in the community with information about social services. “It wasn’t as easily available back then with ASK Wellness and all the centres you can go to today to get information,” said current PIT Stop co-ordinator Rick Windjack. A lunch might have been served to those looking for help getting drivers’ licences or community aid, but food might have been limited to cookies and coffee. But as other service groups took over the information side, the program gradually transitioned into its current iteration, serving a weekly meal to Kamloopsians in need. For guests of the Kamloops United Church’s PIT Stop, the weekly program begins when the church opens its alley entrance at 3:30 p.m. on Sundays. But for volunteers, the weekly hot meal

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW PIT Stop co-ordinator Rick Windjack stands among a group of volunteers who have helped to provide the program for two decades. About 500 volunteers are behind the weekly hot meal program. PIT stands for People in Transition.

program has been in motion since the day before, when a volunteer leader, Windjack and the Kamloops FoodShare delivery truck converge at the church. Once they’ve gone over the week’s offerings from FoodShare, which delivers food from local grocery stores that might otherwise end up in the landfill, a menu is set and any prep work that needs to be done well in advance can be completed. On a recent weekend, Windjack and two volunteers boiled mass quantities of macaroni to allow it time to chill in preparation for a pasta salad. Just after noon on Sunday, the full volunteer team will show up to cook. To keep volun-

teer supply running smoothly, PIT Stop relies on volunteer teams, who select a certain number of Sundays to fill in the program’s ranks. Regulars include Rotary and Lions clubs and other church groups, as well as school groups and teams from local businesses. Windjack estimates the teams encompass 500 people. Should a group member need to drop out, Windjack said there’s no shortage of backup help available. “My email list has 150 people and, if we ever have a day where someone’s sick or the team is a few people short, I send out an email to see if someone can help . . .” he said. “The first answer usually comes back

within 30 seconds — I’ll be there, I can help. And in no time at all, all these people want to step up and help.” From 12:30 p.m. to opening time, the church’s kitchen is a flurry of chopping, cooking and bunbuttering. Tables are set up in its meeting space (though the sanctuary can also be used on high-demand days), desserts are set out and extra bread donated by Cobb’s Bread goes on a table for guests to take home. Nearly every week, volunteers open the doors right on time. “Once in my two years we were about 10 minutes late once, but that was because — well, I’m blaming the oven, anyway,” Windjack jokes. “I didn’t have them

set high enough.” Last year, PIT Stop served more than 7,600 meals to guests and, so far, they’re on track to top that number in 2017. Recent weeks have seen anywhere from 160 to 203 people and the program recorded its highest numbers yet the weekend before last Christmas, when 325 people came in for a meal. Each guest is treated to a sit-down meal, with their food served to them by a volunteer. While many regulars struggle with homelessness, mental illness and addictions issues, Windjack said PIT Stop doesn’t require them to be at their best, only respectful of each other, the volunteers and the space. “What a person

probably needs coming through that door more than anything is hot food in their belly,” Windjack said. “So, if you’re high or drunk and coming through that door, I don’t care. We’re not naive, we understand these issues.” And though it’s a United Church program, PIT Stop doesn’t push religion as part of its offering. “It’s an opportunity to feel like you’re a guest, and a lot of people don’t have that opportunity very often at all,” Windjack said. In celebration of its 20th anniversary, the PIT Stop program and Kamloops United Church are staging a volunteer celebration on Sunday, June 11. Celebrations begin at 421 St. Paul St. at 11:15 a.m., with speeches and recognition of longtime volunteers. The event then moves across the street to the former Kamloops Daily News property for a burger lunch and live music. Windjack said the whole community is invited, including past and present volunteers, guests of the regular meal program and others. And, as the party continues, another group of volunteers will be back in the church’s kitchen across the street, cooking the daily meal. “At 3:30 in the afternoon the doors will open,” Windjack said. “And, as always, dinner will be served.”

Stopping to give

We would love to put a cheer out there to Theresa who works at Denny’s. This hard-working lady took time out of her busy day to stop at our car raffle table with two large hot coffees on a very cold, rainy day. Not only did she make the day of those two volunteers by warming them up with coffee, but a few days later she came across our raffle car table again and treated those two volunteers with a donut. Theresa, you are a wonderful community member and a great friend of Crime Stoppers. If you see Theresa during her work day, please give this special lady an extra little something in her tips. She deserves it. — Betty Kamloops and District Crime Stoppers

My congratulations and thanks to the Westsyde secondary school and its theatre company. The recent production, Medea, was an excellent and totally engaging piece of theatre.

Advice on happiness from Berube’s blog:

STAFF REPORTER

nne Berube used to live her life differently. The spiritual coach and author’s order of priorities were: do, think, feel and be. That meant waking up and focusing her mind on to-do lists and managing thousands of daily thoughts, while leaving limited time in her days to feel emotions like love. “Most people don’t love too fully because it’s uncomfortable,” Berube told KTW in an interview from her home in Halifax. “It’s something we avoid. We can be selective with that feeling.” She has since rearranged her priorities — be, feel, think and do, which is the name of her new memoir. Berube’s personal story shares the messiness of self-growth following a life-changing car accident in her early 20s. Now in her late 30s,

she is married with kids in Halifax, her educational resume boasting a bachelor of education, with a leadership focus, a master of arts in literature and PhD in French literature. She has also attended a seven-day immersive meditation course at Deepak Chopra’s Chopra Centre in Carlsbad, Calif. “It created a meditation practice for me and my husband that has supported us in the past, almost for eight years now,” Berube said. The spiritual coach helps people face to face, but also hosts online teachings. Her website features podcasts and a blog with free meditation. She began working on Be Feel Think Do in 2009 and it was released in May. Asked how sharing a personal story can provide lessons to

• Begin every day with a desired feeling: Feeling our desired outcome allows us to increase the manifesting power of an intention. Happiness is an abstract concept, so choose a feeling that is more tangible. Gratitude is one of the most powerful, a conduit for bringing joy into your life. • Practise joy without cause: If your sense of happiness relies on external expectation, happiness will come and go. If you identify with your body, mind, career or possessions, you will lose your sense of self as those things go away. • Voice boundaries and care out loud: Keeping things in that need to be said drains innate joy. Be respectful of your inner self by giving it a clear voice when boundaries need to be established. When you hear that little voice inside say, ‘This is not OK,’ say something. Expressing what is moving through your being is the best antidote to feelings of disillusion and resignation. • Seal the deal: When you go to sleep at night, take advantage of the last few moments to bring back that desired feeling. — Editor’s note: This passage has been edited for brevity.

Welcome to Dig It, KTW’s regularly published column on the history beneath our feet in the Kamloops region. A group of nine professional archeologists living and working in the local area will create columns that will educate and fascinate. From writing about specific sites to the life of an archeologist, the new series of columns will uncover the complex past of the land on which we walk in the present. To read previous columns, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com and search “Dig It.”

s archeologists, we study prehistoric peoples and cultures by analyzing the things they left

behind. Around here, that means taking a particular perspective of the landscape around us to figure out where we might find archeological sites. Or, more simply put, to find where people have done stuff that would create things for us to find. We spend as much time thinking about the landscape around us as we do studying anything you might see in a museum. Archeological sites might be defined places on our landscape where archeologists have found stuff, but each site represents a much wider use of the lands around them. When we start to connect the dots between all of these archeological sites, we can take another perspective. From this perspective, we see a continuous cultural landscape that has evolved over many thousands of years with the Secwepemc peoples, who have lived here since time immemorial, through the historic era in Kamloops with fur traders, gold prospectors, railroads and ranchers, and into modern times as our city continues to grow and evolve. You don’t need to be an

archeologist to see our landscape from this perspective. Have you ever looked around a landscape and just felt the history around you? We have some great places to do just that. For example, I like to walk my dog in Kenna Cartwright Park in the evenings. There’s a viewpoint at the top of a hill I like to stop at, where I can see the city spread out below. From there, I can see the confluence of the Thompson rivers, where fur traders pulled up their canoes. If I squint toward downtown, I can make out the old train station that is nearly a century old and the tracks that have carried people to and from this city

since the late 1800s. Across the river, I can see the Secwepemc Museum and Heritage Park, which includes a 2,000-year-old winter village. I also know where many of the other recorded prehistoric archeological sites are located and I can see dozens from this same viewpoint, including villages, campsites and hunting and fishing places. Even if you don’t know these exact locations, you can be sure that, in the past, people occupied all the same places we use now. Keep this cultural landscape perspective in mind when you replant your garden, level part of your yard for a new shed or even when you hike on the local trails. You may see evidence of this ancient cultural landscape. It happens all the time, such as when I found a small scraping tool among the stones used to line my driveway, when I recognized the culturally modified tree that grew in my yard in Smithers and when I spotted a stone tool on a Kamloops hiking trail just last weekend. If you spot these sorts of things when you’re out and about, consider yourself lucky and take a picture (but not the artifact). Leave the site as you found it and call one of the local archeologists with your questions.

Tim McMillan, head of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, said any increase in costs on his members could threaten future investment. “To attract investment in any business, and certainly in the natural gas and oil industry, we have to be competitive,’’ McMillan said. “Today, we’re already seeing capital leaving Canada and moving towards the U.S.’’ Liberal Premier Christy Clark has said she will recall the provincial legislature in June, where she expects a confidence vote will result in the probable defeat of her government. The Liberals won 43 seats in the May 9 election, one shy of a majority, but the formal, four-year agreement between the Greens and NDP would give them 44 seats, handing them a one-seat majority.

CALGARY — Some business leaders in Canada expressed concerns Wednesday that the fallout from British Columbia’s election is discouraging the private sector from investing in the province. Promises by B.C.’s NDP and Greens to hike the minimum wage and carbon tax could further jangle investor nerves after both parties also committed to immediately stopping Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline expansion. “The election outcome, and the vow of the Green-NDP alliance to obstruct that pipeline, sends a very worrying message to investors about Canada as a predictable, reliable place to invest,’’ said Gary Leach, president of the Explorers and Producers Association of Canada. He said the anti-pipeline

resolution affects not only the oil and gas sector, but the overall investment climate. “It’s a destabilizing event for investor confidence in Canada generally, and we’ve been struggling with that.’’ On Tuesday, the NDP and Greens formalized their alliance in a four-year agreement that commits to raising minimum wage to at least $15, increasing the province’s $30 carbon tax by $5 per tonne annually beginning next April and referring the Site C hydro dam project to the B.C. Utilities Commission to determine economic viability. “It would be fair to say the business community is feeling a lot of uncertainty,’’ said Val Litwin, president of the B.C. Chamber of Commerce. Litwin said he hopes the NDP, should it form a minority government with the support of the Greens, would consult with businesses before making tax changes or raising the minimum

was a possibility she would develop multiple sclerosis, a disease of the central nervous system. Jill was enrolled two months later in a clinical trial led by University of Calgary researchers studying whether minocycline, a common acne drug, could be a more affordable treatment for those in the early stages of MS. “I was happy in this case to help in any way I could,’’ said Jill, now 34. “It was an easy decision for me personally.’’ The results of the Phase 3 trial, to be published in the New England Journal of Medicine on Thursday, showed minocycline, an antibiotic, works just as well as the current available MS therapies. But instead of costing more than $20,000 a year in Canada, minocycline would have an annual price tag of just $600. Making treatment more readily accessible would be a major benefit for those early on in the disease, said Wee Yong, one of the study’s authors. “We do know that time matters in MS. Time is brain loss in MS,’’ said Yong, a University of Calgary neuroscientist who has been studying minocycline as a poten-

tial MS treatment for nearly two decades. The current treatment for MS involves injections that require frequent blood monitoring. Minocycline can be taken orally and the most common side effects are initial dizziness and digestive upset. It’s been on the market for decades and does not need further Health Canada approval to be used as an off-label drug for MS, the researchers say. For the Phase 3 trial, the researchers studied 142 people across Canada between 18 and 60 who had recently experienced symptoms for the first time, but had not been formally diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. About two-thirds of people who experience MS-like symptoms once — called a clinically isolated syndrome — go on to be diagnosed with the chronic disease within six months, said lead researcher and University of Calgary neurologist Luanne Metz. In the clinical trial, 61 per cent of participants developed full-blown MS in that time frame, as predicted. But that figure dropped to 33 per cent in those given minocycline.

BRYAN BURNHAM SAID THE B.C. LIONS’ RECEIVING CORPS HAS POTENTIAL TO BE THE MOST DANGEROUS IN CFL HISTORY MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

anny Arceneaux flew to Texas in the off-season to spend time with his girlfriend and cultivate another relationship, his longstanding affair with route-running. “Good route-running gets you the big paycheques,” said Arceneaux, the B.C. Lions’ wideout who finished the 2016 season with 1,566 yards receiving, third-most in the CFL. “The precise ones are the good ones, the Larry Fitzgeralds, the Chad Johnsons, those guys that can stop on a dime, Odell Beckham and Antonio Brown.” David Robinson, not the Admiral of NBA lore, but the reputable receivers’ coach from Dallas, was steering Arceneaux’s ship. “He’s like this wide receiver guru,” Arceneaux said. “He trains Antonio, Dez [Bryant], Brice Butler, all them guys. I was able to work with him on dropping my weight, eyes forward and eyes up. It was foreign to me because it’s different from the CFL game, but it was good to learn that so I can incorporate it into my game.” Arceneaux, who is tipping the scales at about 230 pounds — about 12 pounds heavier than he plans to be when the Lions open the regular season at home to Edmonton on June 24 — was not speaking of trimming down when talking about dropping weight. When a receiver sinks his hips through the breaks of his route, he’s dropping his weight. “It’ll make me look a little shiftier and quicker,” he said. “They’ll see a different game from me in 2017.” The Lions’ wideout, already among the league’s stars, was looking to sharpen his cuts and become more precise, searching for a new competitive advantage long before training camp began this week in Kamloops. “They’re always experimenting with route-running,” said Marcel Bellefeuille, the Lions’ receivers coach. “Every single guy takes it to heart, always working their craft. A lot of these guys have gone and done hot yoga to be more flexible, to get more

hips (another receivers’ synonym for dropping weight or sinking hips) or lost weight to be more explosive in and out of their breaks.” Bellefeuille found a quiet patch of turf near the end zone on Tuesday to pace the Leos’ pass catchers through a repetitive process — line up, run route, process feedback, repeat. There were no cones. There were no footballs. Only five-yard slants and phantom defenders. It was necessary banality, tedious drilling in front of about 15 disinterested fans at Hillside Stadium, one week ahead of B.C.’s first pre-season tilt in Calgary on June 6. “We can be the most dangerous receiving corps the league has ever seen, but it starts here,” said Bryan Burnham, the 27-yearold all-star from Moorestown, N.J. “Being able to run fast without going full speed, so you can make the cuts, and it’s all about repetition, to run and run and run, and to be willing to look a little bit silly the first couple of times until you get it down.” Burnham, a fourth-year receiver, exploded for 1,392 yards in 2016 — fourth-most in the CFL and 969 more than he complied in 2015. He loves the task of reading a defence at the line of scrimmage, the split-second decision-making that gets easier for him every season, and takes pride in seeing routes develop before they happen. “Now that I’m going into Year 4, being able to do that on the fly without really having to think, it takes away that whole negative aspect, with that little voice in the back of your head,” Burnham said, noting corners and digs are his bread-andbutter patterns. “That’s out of there and you’re just playing football now.” Burnham has studied and emulated Fitzgerald, learned about transitioning to the Canadian game from former Lions’ receiver Courtney Taylor and stolen some of Arceneaux’s greatest route-running hits.

“American receivers don’t really realize how different the Canadian game is, with the waggle [the CFL term for the running start slotbacks get during the pre-snap motion) and the wider field,” Burnham said. “I’ve taken a little something from their games and kind of made it my own.” Bellefeuille tailors his route-running advice to his charges’ physical attributes.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your Jerry Rice type guy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 6-1, sleek, slender, good hips, very smooth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; typically runs the most types of routes,â&#x20AC;? said the journeyman coach Bellefeuille, who has made stops in Ottawa, Saskatchewan, Montreal, Hamilton (where he was the Tiger-Catsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; head coach for three seasons), Omaha and Winnipeg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bigger guys, you can get a lot more out of them on the double moves if you trust them to break out and come back in or break out and go over top,â&#x20AC;?

and 10 touchdowns with the Ottawa Redblacks last year. And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget about Nick Moore (the Lionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; best route-

runner, according to Arceneaux), healthy again after recovering from the knee injury that sidelined him last July, looking to

return to 2013 form, when he racked up 1,105 yards receiving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very fluid, poised and everything he do is at a speed like Geroy [Simon],â&#x20AC;? Arceneaux said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that blazing, lightning fast, but his route-running is what gets him open, and the separation.â&#x20AC;? Quarterback Jonathon Jennings likes to throw them all â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;A good corner ball is fun, a good go ball is fun, but I like a dig just as much,â&#x20AC;? he said, He proved last season there is no throw he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make, finishing the campaign with 5,226 yards

and 27 touchdowns, and some he shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, with 15 interceptions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A good route runner is someone that can get open occasionally,â&#x20AC;? Jennings said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A great route runner is a guy that really uses change of speed to really get that defender on his heels and so unexpecting of what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about to do.â&#x20AC;? Burnham said each of the Lionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; top receivers have the talent to be No. 1 on depth charts across the league. That could be a blessing or lead to frustration when there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough pigskin to go around. He is confident the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s versatility will go a long way toward keeping everyone happy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of us can play any receiver position,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not just big bruisers who only go across the middle. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not just possession receivers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can all stretch the field and run every route on the route tree.â&#x20AC;?

TORONTO — Devon Travis and Luke Maile hit two-run homers as the Toronto Blue Jays completed a three-game sweep with a 5-4 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday afternoon. Travis’s fifth homer of the year was a tiebreaking rainbow shot in the seventh inning off Wandy Peralta (2-1). Maile hit his second homer of the season two frames earlier off Reds starter Tim Adleman. Starter Mike Bolsinger pitched into the sixth inning to help Toronto (26-27) win for the eighth time in nine games. Jason

Grilli (2-4) worked one inning of relief for the win and Roberto Osuna survived a nervous ninth before nailing down his 11th save. Toronto has gone 5-1 on its 10-game homestand, which continues Thursday night with the opener of a four-game series against the American League East division-leading New York Yankees. The Blue Jays have won six straight interleague games and improved to 15-12 at Rogers Centre this season. Toronto infielders Josh Donaldson and Troy Tulowitzki were given rest days after playing the night before. Both players returned to the lineup this week after stints on the disabled list.

Uber fires researcher involved in lawsuit TOM KRISHER

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT — Uber has followed through on threats to fire star autonomous-car researcher Anthony Levandowski, whose hiring touched off a bitter trade-secrets fight with Waymo, the former self-driving car arm of Google. Waymo has alleged Levandowski downloaded 14,000 documents containing its trade secrets before he left the company to found a startup that was later purchased by Uber. Earlier this month, U.S. District Judge William Alsup ordered Uber to return the documents and referred the case to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in San Francisco for possible criminal investigation. Uber general counsel Salle Yoo told

Levandowski in a letter filed in court by Levandowski’s lawyers that he hasn’t complied with Uber’s requests to co-operate in obeying the judge’s order to return the documents. “Your failure impeded Uber’s internal investigation and defence of the lawsuit,” the letter, dated Friday, stated. It said Levandowski

was fired for cause and that he has a contractual right to correct “deficiencies’’ within 20 days. A telephone message was left Tuesday afternoon for Levandowski. His lawyers did not immediately respond to a request for comment. San Franciscobased Uber appears to be blaming the stolen

documents solely on Levandowski in an effort to defend itself against Waymo’s lawsuit. The company’s letter to Levandowski states he “represented and warranted’’ in his employment agreement that he has returned or destroyed all property and confidential information from any previous employer. On May 19, Uber threatened to fire Levandowski unless he waived his constitutional right against self-incrimination so the ride-hailing service could comply with the court order. Levandowski has asserted his rights under the Fifth Amendment since Waymo filed its lawsuit in February. In documents posted on Tuesday, Levandowski’s law-

yers said Alsup’s order “has thus placed Mr. Levandowski on the horns of an unconstitutional dilemma: either he must waive his Fifth Amendment rights and provide the information and materials specified by the order or face immediate firing.” Levandowski’s expertise in robot-controlled cars is the main reason the ride-hailing company bought his startup for $680 million nine months ago. Uber wants to develop a fleet of self-driving cars so its service eventually won’t have to rely on people to pick up passengers. The company is testing autonomous cars with real passengers in Pittsburgh and elsewhere. Any admission by Levandowski that he possesses Waymo documents could embroil him in even deeper

legal trouble. The U.S. Attorney’s Office would not comment on any possible investigation. Uber had been standing by Levandowski’s right to use his Fifth Amendment protections until Alsup issued the decision requiring the company to return any documents belonging to Waymo by May 31. Alsup wrote that “in complying with this order, Uber has no excuse under the Fifth Amendment to pull any punches as to Levandowski.” In a court filing, Levandowski’s attorneys argued that it is unconstitutional for a judge to strong-arm an employer into pressuring a worker to give up his Fifth Amendment rights to remain on the job. “It is an act by the judicial branch of

our federal government compelling an individual to choose between preserving his livelihood and preserving his constitutional rights,’’ Levandowski’s lawyers wrote. The case prompted Levandowski in April to temporarily step aside as Uber’s top self-driving car executive and avoid working on anything related to lidar, an array of sensors that enables autonomous vehicles to navigate the roads. Alsup ordered Uber to ensure its work on lidar remains off limits to Levandowski. In a statement on Tuesday, Uber said Eric Meyhofer, who took charge of autonomous car research when Levandowski stepped aside, will continue to lead the work with Levandowski’s subordinates now reporting to Meyhofer.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Giuseppe Posteraro It is with an extremely heavy heart that we inform you of the passing of the warmest, kind-hearted, hard working, brilliant man Giuseppe Posteraro. He was born on March 19, 1953 to Michele Posteraro and Milana Porco. He was a spirited child who was raised by a very close family, working hard on the family farm, which is what he did to live through his life. In 1971 he then came to Canada where he met what he said is the most beautiful woman in the world, Liliana. After a very short courtship on a cold and snowy day of December 22, 1971 they were married. He then found a job working on the railways with J.F. Welsh in 1972. After his first child, to make ends meet, he got a job at Dawson Equipment, building what we know today as the Coquihalla. He watched closely as he loved to learn new things which make the smart man he was to this day. Finally after many years he decided to start his own Rock Slope Stabilization Company “Cougar Rock Contracting Ltd”, which with hard work and dedication he made very successful. Joe never gave up and loved to teach everyone all of his knowledge. His pride showed in all projects he did and was proud of the work that himself and the crew accomplished. During his off time from work, he would either be hunting in the bush with his friends, spending time with his family, chasing his grandkids around the farm or planning big

family dinners. He also loved working in his garden and yard or any of the other million different projects he had on the go. Joe will be greatly missed by all who knew him and he left a lasting impression on all of them. A little piece of him will live in all of us! Tears will flow and he will never be forgotten. He now leaves behind the love of his life for 45 years, Liliana, his three children MaryLee, Melisa (Shaun) Dyck and Michael (Lindsay) Posteraro allAd:ofTheKamloops.

Signe Summers Signe Summers passed away on Thursday, April 27, 2017 at the age of 79 years. She will be remembered by daughter Susan (Ray) Haynes and son Peter (Eva Mezzanotte) Sorensen, grandchildren Jenny Haynes, Nicole Haynes, Matthew Haynes, Blake Johnson, great-grandchildren Taylor Haynes, Kayne Laidlaw, sisters in Sweden, Mary Draxler, Kerstin Hjost, Ingrid Hjost, Britt Hjost, nieces Gaby and Miriam, nephews Jonny, Eilert and Roland.

In 1959, she immigrated to Canada with her husband and daughter arriving in Halifax on the first day of spring. They settled in Old Wives, Saskatchewan, raising cattle and growing hay. She loved her new life and freedom on the ranch. Later life would take her to Kitimat and Terrace, BC where she had her two sons. Signe later retired to Kamloops and enjoyed living downtown where she would go on her daily walks. She enjoyed get-togethers with her family, friends and attending Church. Her Funeral Service will be held on Saturday, June 10, 2017 at 1:00 pm at Calvary Temple, 1206 Rogers Way with Pastor Marco Bessa officiating. Following the service, friends are invited to join the family in the Fireside room for refreshments and memory sharing. Signe will be laid to rest at Hillside Cemetery.

The Ship by Henry Van Dyke

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is on object of beauty & strength & I stand & watch her, until at length, she is only a speck of white cloud just wheret he seas & sky meet and mingle with each other. Then someone at my side exclaims, “There, she’s gone!” Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large as she was when she left my side & just as able to bear her load of living freight to the place of her destination. Her diminished size is in me, not her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says she is gone, there are other eyes watching for her coming and other voices ready to take up the glad shout “There she comes!”.

Robert Alfred Vesey Davoren Robert Alfred Vesey Davoren of Kamloops passed away peacefully on May 25, 2017 at 73 years of age after a long and courageous battle with MDS. He is survived by his loving wife Peggy, son Robert (Tanya) of Vernon, son Todd (Susan) of Kamloops, daughter Dayna (Les) Dozlaw of Kamloops, nine grandchildren Mitchell (Emiko) of Japan, Shaughn, Ashleigh and Keighan of Vernon, Ryland, Colton, Hudson and Gizzel Davoren of Kamloops and Georgia Leonard of Kamloops. He is also survived by numerous cousins and his dear Uncle Joe Broderick of Kamloops. He was predeceased by his mom and dad George and Muriel Davoren. Bob was born December 1, 1943 in Kamloops and loved to tell the story that he lived across from R.I.H. for his first 7 years tobogganing on the site of the new addition to the hospital. He attended St. Ann’s Academy for several years before moving to Kamloops High School. Bob was an avid sports person playing minor hockey but more dear to his heart was baseball. Bob was affectionately known as “Bullet Bob” because of his pitching arm. He attended the Pittsburgh Pirates training camp in his late teens but his dream was not realized when he had surgery on the arm. Bob was taught at an early age to enjoy and respect nature. He loved to go hunting and fishing. In the early days it was difficult to access certain lakes but Bob and his pals purchased a Bren gun carrier and found a way to navigate the terrain to go where no man had gone before. He built a kayak from scratch and many times packed it by hand into remote lakes to find the monster fish that no one knew about. He was a proud member of the Fish and Game Club for well over 50 years. His hunting skills were impressive and he lived for the autumn when he could plan his hunting trips. He took pride in his hunting ability and some of his hunting conquests are recorded in the Boon and Crocket record books. In 1966, he met Peggy on a blind date and he always said he knew she was the one. They were married a few months later. Together they raised three wonderful children. He proudly passed on his outdoor skills to his children from day one taking them to fishing lakes and

Pennies

From Heaven

by Charles L. Mashburn I found a penny today, Just laying on the ground But it’s not just a penny, This little coin I’ve found. “Found” pennies come from heaven, That’s what my Grandpa told me He said angels toss them down; Oh, how I loved that story. He said when an angel misses you, They toss a penny down Sometimes just to cheer you up, Make a smile out of your frown So don’t pass by that penny, When you’re feeling blue It may be a penny from heaven That an angel tossed to you.
