ONE-WEEK SPRING BREAK CONFIRMED ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Kamloops-Thompson school district is sticking with its plan to return to a one-week spring break in 2018. Nearly five months after school trustees first voted to do away with an extended break, the district has decided next year’s break will run from March 19 to 23, making SD73 one of only seven in B.C. to have a one-week break. Superintendent Alison Sidow said the district spent several months attempting to negotiate with the Kamloops-Thompson Teachers’ Association (KTTA) regarding adding language about an extended break to its collective agreement to replace an existing agreement on a one-week break, but failed to reach a deal. “We’re just informing the public the one-week spring break is now a certainty, so people can make plans,” she said. At issue was how the district would make up the five days of lost instruction time a two-week break required. “What the board was debating, and what the board heard from educators and the community, was those additional minutes at the end of the school day don’t actually give you the same quality of instruction that a full day does,” Sidow said.

Six-year-old Rayelle Carter and her family were downtown for dinner during a warm day this past week and stayed for an evening splash in Prince Charles Park. Mother Nature has been kind to Kamloops, with an original soggy forecast this weekend being revised by Environment Canada. Expect sunshine and highs to 23 C Friday and Saturday, with a 60 per cent chance of showers on Sunday.

“So the board said we’ll go ahead with a two-week spring break, but we don’t want to lose instructional days.” Sidow said district staff suggested blending spring break with the Easter long weekend, to give families a larger block of time off, or moving some professional development days for teachers to the week before school begins. But she said an agreement could not be reached with the KTTA and staff opted to stick with the one-week break. Board chair Meghan Wade said the announcement puts the spring break debate to rest for 2018, but noted the contract with teachers expires in 2019. “It’s important to bring stability to the system and the calendar for next year and that’s what this does,”Wade said. “We ran out of time to make this happen for next year and I think it’s important for all the stakeholders in the system to know going forward it is a one-week spring break.” In January, the board chose to revert to a one-week break, with some trustees citing concerns the extra week out of school could be a financial hardship for some families. After an outcry from some parents and teachers, the board took another vote on the issue in March, opting to stick with the one-week break unless it reached an agreement with the KTTA.

Teichrieb scheduled to return to court on July 10 serious injuries. Teichrieb is accused of attacking Simpson after allegedly finding him on his Brocklehurst property in the earlymorning hours of June 19, 2016. Teichrieb was arrested shortly after the incident and has been in custody since. Simpson’s friends and family have said the Savona teen and South Kamloops secondary student was celebrating high school graduation the night before the attack and may have been searching for a group of friends when he was assaulted. At the time, police said a Brocklehurst man confronted a person on his driveway in the area of Holt Street and Clifford Avenue. Following a brief preliminary inquiry in January, a Kamloops provincial court judge ruled there was sufficient evidence for Teichrieb’s charges to proceed to trial in B.C. Supreme Court.
Added to Alexa’s Team
Four Kamloops Mounties and a Southeast District Traffic Services officer have been named to Alexa’s Team. The officers have all taken at least 12 impaired drivers off the road in the past year. Collectively, constables Mathew James, Paul Koester, Guillaume Pelletier Michael Scherpenisse and Kaid Shewchuk took 194 impaired drivers off the road in 2016. Alexa’s Team is named after four-yearold Alexa Middelaer, who was killed by a drunk driver in May 2008. The driver, a 56-year-old woman, was later convicted of drunk driving. Since the program started, more than 79,000 impaireddriving sanctions for alcohol and drug related driving offences have been processed. “The officers who are on Alexa’s Team have really put their heart and soul into road safety for our community,� said Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie.

Prison time for men who beat Mountie CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Two men who beat a Mountie unconscious and left him at the side of the road will go to jail following a B.C. Court of Appeal decision. Leon Leclerc and Jerry Lamar were charged following a vicious beating on July 5, 2014. In oral reasons, B.C. Court of Appeal allowed both Crown appeals and set aside conditional sentence orders given in January by B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley. Leclerc will serve a 15-month jail sentence, rather than an 18-month conditional sentence order that included house arrest; Lamar was sentenced to 12 months in prison, rather than a 15-month conditional sentence order including house arrest. The incident began when a vehicle driven by
Lamar, 52, was stopped by RCMP Const. Paul Koester near Pritchard. Court heard Koester suspected Lamar had been drinking and informed him he was launching an impaired driving investigation. Dash-cam footage of their exchange was played in court. In it, Lamar could be seen becoming increasingly aggressive. Leclerc, 47, was a passenger in Lamar’s truck. In the video, Leclerc could be seen menacing Koester from a distance. At one point, Koester asked Leclerc to keep his distance. Lamar eventually tried to leave, at which point Koester pepper sprayed him. The two men then began fighting on the ground. During the fight, Leclerc said he believed he saw Koester reaching for his sidearm and jumped in. Leclerc stomped on Koester’s head, causing the officer to immediately lose consciousness.

During a hearing last fall, before Lamar and Leclerc had entered guilty pleas, defence lawyers questioned whether Koester had a legal right to use force. They also questioned Koester’s history of using force. In 2005, Koester shot and killed Ian Bush in an RCMP detachment after arresting the 22-year-old outside a hockey rink in Houston, B.C. Bush was shot in the head. Koester claimed he was being assaulted by Bush when he pulled his gun and fired once. Later inquiries cleared Koester and determined he was entitled to use lethal force. Defence lawyer Micah Rankin said the two men are considering options following this week’s appeal court decision. Lamar, who lives in Pritchard, owns and operates a Kamloops masonry company. Leclerc owns two businesses and lives in a rural area near Falkland.

A 32-year-old man who was “showboating� on Canada Day long weekend in 2015 will spend a year on probation and pay financial penalties after pleading guilty to operation of a vehicle in a manner dangerous to the public. The sentence, handed down in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops on Tuesday, stemmed from an incident on July 1, 2015. On that day, then-30-yearold Nicholas Conville was towing riders on a tube behind a Sea-Doo on North Barriere Lake, which is about 90 minutes northeast of Kamloops. Spinning the tube in circles to create what Justice Susan Griffin called “a whiplash effect,� Conville slammed the tube and its riders into a floating dock at the edge of the lake. “There was a suggestion he might have thought it would be fun to splash people on the dock,� Griffin said. Both riders were seriously injured in the accident, with the man airlifted to hospital with injuries that included a broke hip and concussion. The female rider continues to
suffer psychological problems, which have affected her work, schooling and social life. She has been diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder. In her sentencing, Griffin said at the time of the incident Conville was as “a relatively young man showing off and forgetting the laws of physics. “He acted foolishly, but had no intent to hurt anybody,� she said. “Unlike many of the offences this court sees, the intent was not to hurt anyone or make any illicit profits.� Conville apologized to his victims after the incident and is said to be remorseful. Griffin handed Conville a suspended sentence and placed him on probation for a period of one year. He was fined $3,000 and ordered to pay restitution to the female rider in the amount of $5,500, reimbursing her for outof-pocket medical expenses. Conville was also handed a two-year ban from operating any vessel. The terms of his probation include good behaviour, abstaining from contacting his victims, reporting to a probation officer, remaining within the jurisdiction of the court, neither possessing nor consuming alco-
hol or drugs, completing 100 hours of community service and neither entering nor operating a pleasure vessel of any type. Griffin also noted that the possibility of civil action looms in the matter. Following the incident, Conville left his job — in part because the accident occurred at a workplace function — and broke up with his fiancĂŠe. Prior to sentencing, Conville’s mother said he only recently came out of a dark cloud spawned by the accident and had again found employment. “Having considered the submissions, I agree the circumstances had very serious consequences,â€? Griffin said. “There is no doubt Mr. Conville understands those consequences.â€? Crown prosecutor Chris Balison asked Justice Susan Griffin to hand Conville a 12- to 18-month conditional sentence order, including a ban on boating. He also recommended a restitution order of $5,500 for his victims’ out-of-pocket expenses. Defence lawyer Ken Walker asked for a suspended sentence, arguing Conville has no criminal record, was guilty of one foolish action and is remorseful and has apologized.

A candidate for Kamloops mayor said he will take inspiration from U.S. President Donald Trump as he seeks the city’s top office. Reo Rocheleau, a retired former video store owner, said his campaign slogan is “make Kamloops great again,” though his top priority is tearing down a wall — or rather, a traffic median blocking left turns from the 100-block of Victoria Street onto First Avenue. “We can move 100 per cent more traffic and there will be no accidents,” he said, adding the increase in traffic on Second Avenue, where he lives, as a result of the reconfiguration is a hassle to seniors and children on the street. Rocheleau said if the slogan makes residents believe he and Trump have something in common, that’s fine. “He’s positive thinking, the same as me. We’re not politicians, we’re doers,” he said. But Rocheleau does not want to see Kamloops run like the White House. “Those Americans don’t know what they’re doing,” he said. Rocheleau said his platform will include a reduction in city spending by 25 per cent. Asked for an example, he took aim at the city’s flood-control methods. “Instead of taking these bags and filling them with dirt and throwing them away after and wasting $40,000, we can make some cement blocks we can use year after year and two guys can put them out,” he said. “It’ll cost $1,000.” This is Rocheleau’s second run for office. He ran for council in 2014, drawing slightly fewer than 500 votes for a last-place finish, a placement that has not
deterred him. “I wouldn’t be running if I couldn’t win,” he

CRTC approves sale of NL Broadcasting NOVA SCOTIA COMPANY BUYS THREE CITY RADIO STATIONS The sale of three radio stations in the Radio NL family is official. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission has approved the sale of NL Broadcasting’s three Kamloops stations — CHNL-AM (Radio NL AM 610), CJKC-FM (Country 103) and CKRV-FM (97.5 The River) — to the Nova Scotia-based Newfoundland Capital Corporation (Newcap). The sale means the end of one of the last locally owned radio station groups in B.C. Radio NL traces its roots to its founding by John Skelly in 1970. It has been independently operated for several decades. The current ownership group that is selling its shares to the publicly traded Newcap include station manager Garth Buchko, retired president and majority holder Robbie Dunn, semiretired news head Jim Harrison, Jim Reynolds, Dave Coulter and original partner Rudy Morelli. Newcap has 95 radio stations across Canada, including three in Vancouver and one each in Kelowna and Penticton. It has a large presence in Alberta and in the Maritime
provinces. The company also runs two television stations in Lloydminster, Alta., and has a market capitalization of about $215 million. Newcap chief operating officer Ian Lurie told KTW in May that Newcap has long looked at expanding in B.C. “When we looked at the stability of the economy, growth of the university, development going on, migration of people from Vancouver finding opportunities — we love the prospects for the town and the entrenched position NL has,” he said. Lurie said Newcap has proved the durability of news and information on the AM dial in other markets and believes Radio NL 610 AM will continue to provide strong local content. On May 10, the day it announced its planned purchase of NL Broadcasting, Newcap released its financial results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2017.
It reported revenue of $35.7 million, which was $1.1 million (three per cent) below first-quarter numbers in 2016. The company said the decrease was primarily due to revenue declines in the Alberta markets due to continued economic uncertainty in that region and declines in Ottawa due to downward pressure on advertising rates. Newcap’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of $7 million was $1.1 million (14 per cent) behind last year as a result of lower revenue. Company profit for the period was $3 million, a decrease of $1.6 million (35 per cent) compared to last year due to lower revenue and a higher provision for income taxes. “The first quarter was challenging as our company experienced revenue declines consistent with the overall radio industry,” Newcap president and CEO Rob Steele said. “We believe that our quality product and keen focus on cost control will allow us to overcome some of this shortfall during the remainder of the year.” — Kamloops This Week
An order to revisit decision TERRY PEDWELL
THE CANADIAN PRESS
A governmentordered review of a recent decision restricting access to the networks of Canada’s big wireless service providers is being hailed as potential good news for consumers. But at least one Canadian-based operator of a mobile virtual network (MVN) in the U.S. predicts the results of the review won’t open Canada’s wireless market
to substantial competition any time soon. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) ruled in March that Rogers could block customers of Sugar Mobile, a subsidiary of Ice Wireless, from roaming on its network. The decision not only effectively paralyzed the startup, but also prevented other smaller mobile service providers from offering cheaper plans and consequently limits choice in the mar-
ket, Innovation Minister Navdeep Bains said in calling for a rethink of the ruling. “This decision excludes Wi-Fi based providers from access to regulated roaming services,’’ Bains said Monday while speaking at an annual conference in Toronto for the Canadian telecommunications industry. “And that effectively prevents Wi-Fi-based providers from offering their low-cost plans to consumers. This lack of choice does not
benefit Canadians.’’ Sugar Mobile, which doesn’t have its own wireless infrastructure, relied on the network set up by Rogers to provide service to its customers through a mobile virtual network, or MVN. In a brief email message, the CRTC said it would comply with the order, being careful to say it would reconsider the “aspect of its decision that established the final terms and conditions for access to wholesale mobile wireless roaming service.’’

While Kamloops Fire Rescue’s boat has been pulled out of the water until levels drop, it will remain available for use in the event of emergencies.
Fire rescue boat grounded HIGH RIVER LEVELS MEAN VESSEL CAN’T CLEAR RAIL BRIDGE TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops Fire Rescue has pulled its rescue boat out of the water due to high river levels in and around the Tournament Capital. KFR Platoon Capt. Rob Chalmers said the decision was made when the water rose to a point at which clearance
under the CN Rail bridge across the South Thompson River at Riverside Park was too low. “We don’t have the clearance under the train bridge,” he said. “We keep track of the clearance under that bridge and we made the decision to actually pull the boat out of the water.” Chalmers said the rescue boat hasn’t been pulled from the river since 2012, when city crews
built a temporary wall to protect Riverside Park from high water. According to Chalmers, the boat will still be available to respond in emergency situations. Depending on where the call is, he said, it will be launched either upstream or downstream from the CN bridge. “It puts a little bit of strategy into the way we respond with our boat,” he said.
Sun Rivers back on tap A boil-water advisory for Sun Rivers residents ended just a day after it was enacted. The advisory was issued on the morning of June 2 after an equipment failure resulted in a loss of water pressure.
As a precaution, Corix Utilities, which manages the water system at Sun Rivers, collected water samples for testing. Those tests indicated the water is safe to drink and the advisory
was lifted on the afternoon of June 3. Corix said when the water-distribution system lost pressure, there was potential for contamination of the water supply by bacteria, viruses or parasites.
The Corix representative said the boilwater notice is unrelated to a similar incident a week earlier, in which some Sun Rivers residents were told to boil their water as a precaution for 24 hours.
‘Tis the season to graduate It’s graduation season in School District 73. Commencement events will continue throughout the district until June 23. This year, 970 students from 15 schools will graduate from SD73.

RESIST FOCUSING ON SHINY OBJECTS With all eyes on fired FBI director James Comey’s testimony Thursday before the Senate Intelligence Committee, once again U.S. President Donald Trump will be in the news spotlight. Since he began his bid for the Republican nomination two years ago this month, Trump has probably been the subject of more editorials and opinion pieces than any other person alive. And no wonder, considering the number of his newsworthy actions, including the aforementioned firing of Comey, who was investigating Trump’s campaign. In Canada, Trump does not have as big an effect as he does on U.S. citizens, but his performance does cast a shadow north of the border. There is softwood lumber and other trade disputes he has chosen to meddle in, but there are more subtle influences as well. Trump has a near-perfect strategy to distract the press. Simply tweet about (or do) something outrageous and media attention shifts to the tweet rather than whatever issue was about to make him look bad. That strategy seems to be failing, in light of the Comey firing affair. But a side effect of Trump’s bizarre behaviour and tweets is that they draw attention away not just from his issues, but from also from politicians across North America and around the world. Take Prime Minster Justin Trudeau’s decision to break his promise that 2015 was going to be the last federal election under the firstpast-the-post system. All Trump needs to do is tweet about how bad a job Arnold Schwarzenegger did on The Apprentice or as governor of California and, instantly, the problems of other politicians get swallowed by all that is Trump. It’s a good technique. If everybody is talking about how crazy your last tweet is, they’re not talking about the real problems you and other politicians are not addressing. Voters and media need to remain focused on the important issues, even when the circus south of the border is in full swing.

‘Protected’ ridings a boon
E
lections have two key components: the race and the mechanics; the legislative process and administration of
the vote. The race gets the media coverage, not so much the mechanics, even though it can have far more impact on the results than many might imagine. The number of registered voters didn’t get much attention during the campaign. In April, there were 3,156,991, which is notable because it’s 19,464 voters less than there were in 2013. In a province like B.C., that shouldn’t happen. It’s not the result of how the voters list was built, more how it’s been managed. Using data provided by Elections Canada, roughly 40,000 voters were purged from the list in 2016, according to Elections BC. “In December 2016, we processed a file of records of voters whose address on the [national list] changed from within B.C. to outside B.C.,” Elections BC said. “We removed approximately 40,000 voters. We believe this process, which was not performed in the lead-up to the 2013 general election, improved the overall accuracy of the voters list.” No kidding on the accuracy part, but that also says something about the earlier lists. Something else of note about the race was the remarkable efficiency of the B.C. Liberal party’s vote. The party needed only 170,234 votes — 21 per cent of its 796,672 total — to lock up 20 ridings, nearly half of its seats. The Liberals put 10 into their column with 69,857 votes. Seven are among B.C.’s 17 “protected” ridings that account for nearly one out of every five seats in the legislature.
DERMOD TRAVIS

SHOT Here’s where it gets messy. The right to vote is set out in Section 3 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms: “Every citizen of Canada has the right to vote in an election of members of the House of Commons or of a Legislative Assembly . . .” Something else was set out, albeit by the courts. The right to vote “is not equality of voting power per se, but the right to ‘effective representation.’” Effective representation is “relative parity,” while accounting for special circumstances, “such as geography, community history, community interests and minority representation.” After every other election, B.C.’s electoral boundaries commission goes into action to ensure the electoral map meets those two tests. According to its 2007 report, “B.C. is among the group of jurisdictions that gives their commissions the greatest latitude, adopting a plus or minus 25 per cent deviation limit.” In 2014, the commission was given its marching orders by the B.C. government: two new seats could be added to the existing 85, but 17 hand-picked ridings had to be protected. At the end of the day, the 17 first-class ridings had an
average of 25,382 voters and the 70 second-class an average of 38,935. Quite a range among the full 87, though. Stitkine has the lowest number of voters at 13,240 and Vernon-Monashee the highest with 47,373. Vernon-Monashee would need three MLAs to come close to matching the weight of Stitkine’s clout in the legislature. Using the April voters list, the 25 per cent rule would see Nelson-Creston with 27,338 registered voters on one end, Parksville-Qualicum (44,743) on the other and 68 in between. Seventeen ridings overshoot the 25 per cent deviation, but only 10 are among the 17 “protected” ridings. Since land mass is part of the special circumstances test, let’s see how much it mattered in the government’s selection? The 17 first-class ridings range from 2,437 to 196,446 square kilometers, but nine other ridings are within that range. Can’t be size. Perhaps it’s the number of voters? The 17 range from 13,240 to 42,054 voters, but 54 ridings fit within that spread. Can’t be voters. Maybe it’s a form of gerrymandering? How did the 17 ridings vote? Thirteen went for the Liberals –— representing 30 per cent of their total seats — and four went to the B.C. NDP. Under the Liberals, the number of “protected” ridings has nearly tripled from six in 2001 to 17 today. That’s more ridings than Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta protect combined. Before B.C. votes again, the government must refer these boundaries to the B.C. Court of Appeal to determine if they comply with Section 3 of the Charter of Rights.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR COLUMN A ‘BREATH OF FRESH AIR’ Editor: For the duration of the recent provincial election campaign and going back months, years and decades, there has been an ongoing presentation of misinformation by certain media outlets, including some in Kamloops, about the “dark days of the 1990s” and how the NDP was solely to blame. As KTW editor Christopher Foulds pointed out in his June 2 column (‘No party owns the dark days’), this is simply not true. Call it propaganda, scare tactics or alternative facts if you want, but most people would consider it lies. Hats off to Foulds for a well-researched, unbiased piece of journalism. It is a breath of fresh air in Kamloops after decades of stale rhetoric. Jim Bepple Kamloops

RECYCLING CONTRACT NOT PROGRESS Editor: Re: Darrell Collins’ letter of June 6 (‘Recycling decision boggles mind’): Seriously, people of Kamloops, we need to come to grips with the new recycling contract the city has imposed upon us. Yes, I also feel this was an illconceived, poorly consulted and backward approach to recycling, as I’ve written previously. But in the end, it is what it is. I’m not happy about it, either, but I’ve found a way. It’s not that difficult or inconvenient. I keep an extra box right beside my regular blue box in the garage
where I put all those things that are ineligible for our paid-for recycling service. Periodically, I take my beverage containers and liquor bottles to General Grants anyway, so an extra box or two of recyclables is really no big deal. They make it quite easy with their labelled bins. Having taken this extra measure, however, certainly does not diminish my scorn for the city having invoked such a decision. If General Grants (and other designated depots) can get rid of this stuff in an environmentally friendly manner, why couldn’t the city’s recy-
cling contract have done the same? It’s disappointing that council was unable to negotiate an expanded and more progressive recycling service that might reduce the burden on our landfills. Instead, council opted for the short-sighted, long-term contract that makes it more difficult for its citizens to do the right thing and more convenient to do the very thing that brought us to this landfill dilemma to begin with. That’s progress? Ron Wiebe Kamloops

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online RE: LETTER: RECYCLING DECISION BY CITY COUNCIL BOGGLES THE MIND:
“When I tell friends and family who live in other communities in Canada about this new recycling program, they are shocked and find it hard to believe in this day and age that any city would take steps backwards like Kamloops has. “Did council give any consideration whatsoever to those citizens who do not have the means to get the plastic and glass to the recycle depots? I think not. “What was city council thinking? Did council members even read the proposal for the new recycling when it was presented to them or did they just look at the dollar signs?” — posted by Megs

More accessible Grasslands Loop Trail to open
Correction A story in the June 2 edition of KTW was not clear on who was behind letters of complaint concerning a bid by Frick and Frack’s Tap House to secure an entertainment endorsement for its pub. The story stated “neighbours at Desert Gardens Seniors Community Centre” had sent letters of concern to council relating to a potential increase in traffic and noise bands could create. In fact, residents of Desert Gardens, not the centre itself, submitted the letters. The centre submitted a letter to Frick and Frack supporting its application for the entertainment endorsement.

In addition to the competition, Lange said delegates from cities across the country were buzzing about climate change — fuelled in part by U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to pull out of the Paris climate agreement — and the federal Liberals’ plan to legalize marijuana next year. “We need guidelines on zoning. Kamloops even has noticed a lot of pot shops, but in big cities it’s pretty crazy,” Lange said. The FCM is also lobbying the federal government for a share of Ottawa’s pot revenue to go to local governments, arguing communities will see increased policing and bylaw costs.

Father: son made bad decision by defacing rainbow crosswalk THE CANADIAN PRESS
SASKATOON — The father of a young man who left long tire skid marks on a Saskatoon crosswalk freshly painted with the hues of the LGBTQ community’s rainbow flag said his son didn’t realize what the colours mean to the city’s Pride festival. A festival spokesman said the father contacted the OUTSaskatoon office after the marks were discovered on Monday. Danny Papadatos said the man seemed sad and embarrassed when he revealed his 20-year-old son purposely made the marks, but didn’t realize the fallout his actions would cause. Papadatos said the young man’s family is expected to
release a public statement in the next couple of days and will cover the cost of cleaning and repainting the crosswalk. About 50 people gathered on Tuesday to repair the damage and a paint company donated some supplies to help with the work. The crosswalk was one of two that city workers painted in rainbow colours on the weekend. Papadatos said the father’s call was emotional. “I know it couldn’t have been easy for him and it couldn’t have been easy for the vandal to come forward — especially with everything that’s been going on social media,’’ he said. “So, the way we started was just to talk about the courage that that took.’’

THANK YOU KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
Papadatos noted it wasn’t an easy decision to clean up and noted there was discussion about leaving the tire marks as a reminder of the work that needs to be done when it comes to inclusivity. He said the incident has brought out numerous discriminatory and hateful comments on social media toward the LGBTQ community. “The community needs to know that we are behind them and that this isn’t us just brushing over someone’s mistake. It just shows and proves that we have a long way to go.’’ The week-long Saskatoon Pride Festival begins Friday. “We’re going to go on louder and prouder than ever,’’ Papadatos said.
“Hi I’m Corbie Black and this is my pup Gumpy! We are the owners of Bone and Buscuit here in Kamloops and Prince George. Kamloops This Week has definitely been a great way to spread the word on my new ownership and we are looking forward to our 1st Anniversary coming up this summer.” — Corbie Black

Sexual-assault law to change JOANNA SMITH
THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — The federal Liberal government is changing sexualassault law to make it clear that an unconscious person cannot consent to sexual activity, part of an effort to bring legislation up to speed with the courts — and the times. “I’m hopeful that these proposed changes will go a long way towards ensuring that victims of sexual assault are treated with compassion and with the respect that they deserve,’’ Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould said. The proposed legislation, known as Bill C-51, would
update the Criminal Code to reflect a 2011 decision by the Supreme Court of Canada, which involved the case of a couple that engaged in erotic asphyxiation. The ruling, known as R. v. J.A., restored the conviction of a man who had performed sexual acts upon his longtime girlfriend after she became unconscious. She had consented to being choked by him, but the high court ruled that consent did not apply after she had lost consciousness. The proposed legislation does not, however, specifically address whether someone, due to being drunk, impaired or a mental disability, is capable of providing consent, instead leaving that up to the courts to decide on a
case-by-case basis. Bill C-51 would also expand rape shield provisions — designed to prevent the sexual history of a complainant from being used against them — to include text messages, photos and other communications of a sexual nature, either from before or after the sexual activity in question. It would also set up a regime to clarify whether an accused can introduce in court any private records of a complainant, such as diary entries. The bill would also make it clear that a complainant has the right to a lawyer during rape shield proceedings, and require the judge to inform them of this right as quickly as possible.
Boxer remains in coma after bout FREDERICTON — A New Brunswick boxer remains in an induced coma a week-and-ahalf after suffering a brain hemorrhage in the hours following a Fredericton bout. Thirty-eight-yearold David Whittom is
listed in stable condition at Saint John Regional Hospital. Whittom — who was born in Saint Quentin, N.B. — was once a promising super-middleweight who fought world title contenders.
Saskatoon fighter Gary Kopas beat him by technical knockout with just 37 seconds left in the 10-round bout on May 27. Whittom only became ill hours later and was taken to hospital in Fredericton
and later to Saint John, where he underwent surgery the next day. Whittom’s stepbrother, Eric Moffatt, has released a family statement thanking the community for their support and the medical staff for their care.

Iranian forces could be seen taking cover in central Tehran during Wednesday’s attacks.
ISIS targets Iran in twin attacks in capital AMIR VAHDAT, NASSER KARIMI
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TEHRAN, Iran — Gunmen and suicide bombers attacked Iran’s parliament and the shrine of its revolutionary leader on Wednesday, killing at least 12 people, wounding dozens and igniting an hours-long siege at the legislature that ended with four attackers dead. The Islamic State group claimed the attacks, marking the first time the Sunni extremists have taken responsibility for an assault in Shiite-majority Iran. The militants are at war with Iranian-backed forces in Syria and Iraq and view Shiites as apostates. The attacks began midmorning when assailants armed with Kalashnikov rifles stormed the parliament building. One of the attackers later blew himself up inside, where a session had been in progress, according to a statement carried by Iran’s state TV. Deputy Interior Minister Mohammad Hossein Zolfaghari told Iran’s state TV the apparently male attackers wore women’s attire. The semi-official Tasnim news agency later reported the siege had ended with four of the attackers killed. Mizan Online, an Iranian state-run news website, said 12 people were killed and 42 wounded in the two attacks. It quoted Pirhossein Kolivand, the head of Iran’s emergency department. The Islamic State’s Aamaq news agency released a 24-second video purportedly shot inside
the parliament building during the siege. The video, circulated online, shows a gunman and a bloody, lifeless body of a man lying on the ground next to a desk. A voice on the video praises God and says in Arabic: “Do you think we will leave? We will remain, God willing.’’ Another voice repeats the same words. The two appeared to be parroting a slogan used by ISIS spokesman Abu Mohammad al-Adnani, who was killed in Syria last year. An Associated Press reporter saw several police snipers on the rooftops of buildings around the parliament. Shops in the area were shuttered and gunfire could be heard. Witnesses said the attackers were shooting from the fourth floor of the parliament building down at people in the streets below. “I was passing by one of the streets. I thought that children were playing with fireworks, but I realized people are hiding and lying down on the streets,’’ Ebrahim Ghanimi, who was around the parliament building when the assailants stormed in, told the Associated Press. “With the help of a taxi driver, I reached a nearby alley.’’ Police helicopters circled over the parliament building and all mobile phone lines from inside were disconnected. The semi-official ISNA news agency said all entrance and exit gates at parliament were closed and that lawmakers and reporters were ordered to remain in place
inside the chamber during the siege. Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani called the attack a cowardly act. “Iran is an active and effective pillar in the fight against terrorists and they want to damage it,’’ he said. Soon after the parliament attack, a suicide bomber and other assailants targeted the shrine of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini located just outside the capital, Tehran, according to Iran’s official state broadcaster. It said a security guard was killed and that one of the attackers was killed by security guards. A woman was also arrested. Khomeini, who died in 1989, is a towering figure in Iran. He led the 1979 Islamic revolution that toppled the Western-backed shah and became Iran’s first supreme leader. An Associated Press reporter saw security forces, some uniformed and others in plainclothes, around the large and ornate shrine. ISIS often claims attacks around the world, even when links to the group cannot be confirmed and appear dubious. Iranian security officials have not said who they suspect is behind the attacks, though state media has referred to the attackers as “terrorists.’’ The unusual attacks prompted the Interior Ministry to call for an urgent security meeting. Officials at one point urged people to avoid using public transportation until further notice.

Maintaining good grades and volunteering are among minimum requirements for a young woman to receive the Scholastic Talent Accomplishment Recognition (STAR) merit-based scholarship, which is awarded annually by P.E.O International. The sole purpose of the group, which calls itself a sisterhood, is to provide scholarships and bursaries to women. “It was conceived in the 1800s by seven women in Idaho who wanted to take care of one another,” explained Laura Graham of the local chapter. “They felt women didn’t have rights, didn’t have opportunities, didn’t have educational situations that they could better themselves, so they formed this group and they swore to take care of one another.” The award is open to female students across Canada and the United States. This year, more than 1,800 applied. Avery is the second Kamloops student to receive the award. Last year, it was given to a Sa-Hali secondary student. “We’re pretty proud of them,” Graham said. The scholarship criteria is academic achievement, service and talent — all of which seem to describe the exemplary student. NorKam counsel-

They felt women didn’t “have rights, didn’t have
opportunities, didn’t have educational situations that they could better themselves, so they formed this group and they swore to take care of one another.
”
— LAURA GRAHAM, local chapter of P.E.O.
lor Emily Rouleau calls Avery a “standout” student. “Really, all areas in which a student can really shine,” she said. “Academically, for sure. She’s been at the top ever since she got here. But she is also one of those kids who is involved in all the committees and groups around the school and also is able to include athletics in that, too. “Sometimes you see kids where they are very academically inclined and they’re involved, but she also incorporates athletics, as well as working parttime.” Avery has straight As and took International Baccalaureate-level classes for the challenge — not the diploma. On the field, she plays for the Thompson Okanagan Rugby Alliance and is talking to her coach about trying out for the squad at McGill. She chose to head east in part to continue honing her French, which her mother speaks.
Also on her resume, Avery spoke at the first Empower women’s conference at Thompson Rivers University earlier this year, hosted an assembly on fentanyl awareness, raised funds for Syrian refugees and volunteered overseas, helping to build a school in Ecuador. “I’ve tried to make the most of it [high school] and I’ve tried to do everything I can,” she said. “That’s probably been my biggest downfall as a student, is I try to take on everything and I sometimes realize that you can’t do that. I’ve made a lot of amazing friends.” In the fall, she’ll start her science degree with the goal of one day becoming a doctor.
Early lessons in work-life balance
On top of Avery’s long list of extra-curricular activities, she worked about 10 hours per week throughout the school year — a trend identified by counsellor Rouleau.
“It’s sort of a running theme in my family with my husband and my kids, when we go around town . . .” Rouleau said. “Any place we go, any retail store, any restaurant, anywhere, there’s a NorKam student.” She said students work for different reasons — to save for postsecondary schooling, to have spending money or to help out at home — and it can impact their time spent in the classroom. “They come to school and they’re tired and they haven’t done their homework or whatever and it comes down to priorities for that particular family,” Rouleau said.
Education at a price
P.E.O. member Graham says kids have it tough when weighing their dreams with the price tag. Her son completed his undergraduate studies at Thompson Rivers University, but opted to take his teaching degree in the Lower Mainland so he could become a high school teacher. “It was $26,000,” Graham said. “$16,000 went to pay his tuition. I was shocked.” While Avery has at least $5,500 coming her way next year, she expects her first year at McGill University will cost $20,000. “These kids have it tough,” Graham said.

Wild books await at libraries JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
As soon as the last bell rings in June, it’s easy for kids to put the books aside to allow more time for water parks and sandcastles. It’s why public libraries will host reading clubs for kids of all ages through summer months. “One of the things is just keeping those school skills sharp,” said Meg Ross, of youth services for the TNRD Library System. The seven-week clubs kick off mid-June, encouraging daily reading whether youngsters are read to by parents or can get through a copy of Green Eggs and Ham on their own. This year’s theme is
Walk on the Wild Side, chosen for libraries across the province to help make reading fun. Activities, such as an outdoor reading garden at the North Kamloops branch on Wednesdays, will be centred around that theme and kids can win prizes for completing goals. The programs are grouped by age. “We want kids to have fun. We want them to enjoy reading,” Ross said. “We want them to think of the library as a place where they an have fun. We’re really excited for summer.”
While reading materials aren’t assigned, Ross has a few recommendations for families, who can pick up reading packages for kids beginning on June 12 at any TNRD library branch. Ages zero to five: • A Walk on the Shoreline by Rebecca Hainnu illustrates traditional Inuit uses of plants and animals from the Arctic shoreline; • Walk on the Wild Side by Nicholas Oldland is a picture book about an adventurous bear, moose and beaver trio; • West Coast Wild by Deborah Hodge is an alphabet book showcasing Pacific west coast animals; Ages six to 12: • The Skeleton Tree by Iain Lawrence
is about two boys shipwrecked sailing the Alaskan coast; • Count Me In by Sara Leach is about a girl who learned to be resourceful and face adversity while on a hiking trip with family; Ages 13 to 18: • Lumberjanes by Noelle Stevenson is a graphic novel series about friends’ adventures at summer camp; • Ashfall by Mike Mullin is about a boy searching for his family after a super volcano erupts in Yellowstone National Park. For more information, contact Meg Ross by emailing mross@ tnrd.ca or calling 250376-3526. The two Kamloops libraries are located at 465 Victoria St. and 693 Tranquille Rd.

GM shareholders reject splitting stock THE CANADIAN PRESS
DETROIT — General Motors shareholders have overwhelmingly turned down an activist shareholder’s plan to split the company’s stock into two classes. Only about nine per cent of the stockholders voted for the plan from David Einhorn’s Greenlight Capital hedge fund in a preliminary vote count. They also re-elected all 11 GM board members, rejecting the three candidates backed by Greenlight. Einhorn proposed splitting the stock into capital appreciation and dividend classes. He said the plan would unlock the stock’s
value. GM shares have appreciated only about four per cent since the company returned to the public markets in November of 2010 after bankruptcy. During the same period, the
Standard & Poor’s 500 index has more than doubled in value. The company has made $42 billion in the past seven years. CEO Mary Barra says the company will
stay on its current course even though the stock markets have yet to reward those efforts. She said the company’s strategy of cutting costs, shedding underperforming businesses and trying to lead in new technology will deliver long-term results. “It gives me more resolve to make sure we work harder, work faster and continue to put great cars, trucks and crossovers on the road,” she told reporters before the vote. Barra also said the company is prepared to handle an automotive downturn, an effort to allay investor fears the industry has reached the peak of its busi-
ness cycle in the U.S., GM’s most lucrative market. U.S. sales so far this year are down two per cent and likely will decline from last year’s record of 17.5 million vehicles. GM said it analyzed Greenlight’s proposal and determined it risky because it would pit one class of shareholders against the other and could put the company’s investment grade credit rating at risk. In a statement, Einhorn said Greenlight was disappointed shareholders chose to maintain the status quo. The fund, which owns 3.6 per cent of GM shares, said its three board candidates would have helped to
fix GM’s “inefficient capital structure.” GM should consider adding Greenlight’s candidates to its board in the future, he said. GM shares fell less just under one per cent after Tuesday’s vote to $34.18. Shareholders also voted down a proposal to separate the chairman and CEO positions now held by Barra. Shareholder John Love, who supported the proposal, criticized the company for shifting some production to Mexico, closing factories in Flint, Michigan, and for importing a Buick SUV from a factory in China. He also said the company is leasing too many cars
and its dealer inventory is too large, circumstances reminiscent of before GM went into bankruptcy protection in 2009. “Everybody had it under control,” he said of inventory before bankruptcy. “I don’t think it’s under control.” GM ended last month with a 101-day supply of cars and trucks when automakers consider a 60-day supply to be optimal. The company said production cuts will help reduce car inventory, and it has been building pickup truck supply as it prepares to shut down factories this year to switch to a new model.
Uber firings, hire steps to ‘change and grow up’ DETROIT — Uber has fired more than 20 people after a law firm investigated complaints of sexual harassment, bullying, discrimination and other company policy violations. The recent firings included managers and lower-level workers, some of whom retaliated against employees after they complained about bad conduct at the ride-hailing firm, said Bobbie Wilson, a Perkins Coie partner involved in the investigation. Uber Technologies Inc. retained the firm after former engineer Susan Fowler posted a blog in February about sexual harassment at the company. Fowler wrote that on her first day at work her boss propositioned her in a series of messages. The Perkins Coie probe is separate from one being done by former Attorney General
Eric Holder. He is likely to make broader recommendations on how to change Uber’s culture when his report is released publicly next week. Separately, Uber announced it has hired Apple marketing executive Bozoma Saint John, who will be Uber’s chief brand officer. She ran global consumer marketing of Apple Music and iTunes. Her task at Uber will be to improve its brand image so people like it as well as they like the company’s ride services. After Fowler’s blog posting, Uber set up a 24-hour hotline to take complaints from employees and hired Perkins Coie to investigate them. The firm checked into 215 complaints and 57 remain under investigation. The hotline will remain in operation. The probe into Fowler’s complaints is still
underway and Wilson wouldn’t say if any of those fired, or 31 other employees placed in counselling, were involved. Wilson said Uber gave her law firm “unfettered access” to people and documents needed for the Fowler investigation. Problems at Uber are not unusual in the technology industry, given the company’s size of more than 14,000 employees, said Wilson, whose firm has done similar work for the biggest tech companies in the nation. The firings and hiring are big steps in repairing Uber’s image, which has been tarnished by Fowler’s blog and a number of management missteps this year. In its ascent to becoming the world’s most valuable startup, San Francisco-based Uber took Silicon Valley’s penchant for sexism, cut-
throat, unapologetic competition and distaste for government regulation and kicked it up several notches. For a while, this served it well. It’s the No. 1 ride-hailing company in the U.S. and is valued at nearly $70 billion. But this year, Uber’s aggressive corporate culture and its 40-year-old CEO’s self-admitted need to “fundamentally change and grow up’’ has caught up with it. In addition to the harassment allegations, Uber is the target of lawsuits, boycott threats and a federal investigation into claims it has used a fake version of its app to thwart authorities. It’s also been accused of corporate espionage by Waymo, formerly Google’s autonomous vehicle arm. — The Canadian Press

TRIATHLON TIME IN BROCK MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Hang around the finish line on Sunday and search for sour faces. It’ll be like looking for a Big Mac at Nature’s Fare. “Everyone is super supportive — and people are just so darn happy to be done,” said Gary Moen, race director for the Spring Sprint Triathlon. “Sure, there are elite athletes that compete in triathlons, but you very rarely see that elitist attitude come out in triathletes. There’s an energy people feed on.” The Spring Sprint and Kamloops Kids of Steel triathlons will be held on Sunday, landing on the same day for the second straight year, co-hosted by the Kamloops Triathlon Club and the City of Kamloops. “We’ve tried to create that one family complete-age festival where anyone from three years old to 83 years old can race and complete a triathlon on the same day in the same place,” Moen said. Links to register for the events can be found online at trytri.org, with the Friday deadline looming. The closure of the Westsyde Pool two years ago forced the Spring Sprint — a 700metre swim, 20-kilometre bike and fivekilometre run — to find a new home, which it found in Brocklehurst in 2016. There were hiccups last year, logistical

issues, with more than 240 triathletes young and old taking to the streets. There was also a minor incident involving a car and two Kids of Steel racers on Crestline Street. The car was turning into a driveway and bumped a pair of girls on bicycles, hitting one bike in the rear and the other on the frame. Both girls were OK and finished the race. The Kids of Steel event, for athletes ages five to 19, was held
after the Spring Sprint last year. That order has been reversed. “That was part of the feedback,” Moen said. “As traffic gets busy on the road, we would like to get the smaller people off the course as soon as possible. “We have to manage how we change from one event to the next, how we change courses and how we don’t get in each other’s way.” Awards and prizes will be doled out after the races, along with
food, drink and a healthy dose of triathlete cheer. “On any given day, a person can be super prepared and really fit and healthy and something can go wrong, anything, something silly,” Moen said. “There’s never a guarantee you’re going to have success. Because of that, competitors of all levels appreciate just the completion of a race and acknowledge that as an accomplishment in itself.”

Mountain biking and beer seem to be a winning combination for Phil and Grace Hiom. The co-owners of Dirty Feet, advertised as Okanagan’s largest trail race series, will put on the seventh annual Six-Hour Mountain Bike Relay and Beer event in Kenna Cartwright Park on Sunday. “It’s a fun event that’s not super serious, a fun day riding around in the park for six hours, then we go have our awards and some local craft beer,” Hiom said. The relay event — for solo riders or teams of two or four — is followed by a gathering at Red Collar Brewing Company, 355 Landsdowne St. “Having Kenna Cartwright as a park in this town is absolutely amazing,” Phil said. “We love the fact we get to take it over for a day. “It’s nothing super technical, no log
rides or anything like that, but enough to keep everyone challenged. You’re not just riding on a gravel road.” The event has been a staple on the North Face Dirty Feet calendar, attracting between 70 and 100 riders each year, with Vancouver Island, Aldergrove, Canmore and Banff among the regions expected to be represented this weekend. Relay riders will traverse the 12-kilometre loop before tagging in a teammate. The goal for solo and team riders alike is to complete as many loops as possible in six hours. Division winners will be toasted at Red Collar, where riders can cash in beer tickets that come along with the registration fee and minors are welcome. Food from the Eats Amore truck will be on site at Red Collar. To sign up, which costs $55, go online to dirtyfeet.ca. Registration deadline is Friday at 6 p.m. “There nothing better than a cold beer after you’ve finished running or riding,” Phil said.

Kamloops dancers wow in hometown provincial festival Three Kamloops dancers found the podium at the Performing Arts of BC Provincial Festival, which wrapped up in the Tournament Capital earlier this month. Top dancers chosen at regional qualifiers advanced to the festival, at which they were judged during three workshops and two stage performances over two days. The top three dancers from each division were invited to strut their stuff at the final concert to determine provincial champions. Amy Cox won gold in the 13- to 15-year-old Level 2 modern division, Lauren Okano was runner-up in the over-16 Level 3 stage competition and Avery Graham-Wiseman was runner-up in the under-12 Level 1 modern category.

PITTSBURGH — Evgeni Malkin expects Phil Kessel to score in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup final, and anticipates his own “best game,’’ too. The Penguins will likely need Malkin and Kessel at their best to wrestle back control of a series that’s lately gone the Predators’ way. Nashville captured Games 3 and 4 in front of a raucous home crowd and did so, in part, by continuing to stifle the two-headed offensive monster that lines up behind Sidney Crosby. “It’s time,’’ Malkin said. “It’s a good time to show your best game

because there’s only three games left and (then) we have two, three months (of) summertime.’’ Malkin, the leading scorer in the playoffs (26 points), went pointless with only two shots in the two defeats and has been suffocated — all series really — by the Preds’ menacing duo of P.K. Subban and Mattias Ekholm. Kessel hasn’t scored since Game 5 of the Eastern Conference final (six games), meanwhile, and has been held to just a single assist so far this series. “I missed a couple
shots that I probably don’t want to miss,’’ the fully-bearded Wisconsinite said after practice on Wednesday morning. “You want to bury them but sometimes they don’t go in.’’ A more potent power play would help Malkin and Kessel, who lead the team with 11 power-play points apiece. The unit went 0-6 in the two defeats, but generated more in the latter loss. Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan said earlier this series that the duo is most effective “when they’re playing the game the right way,
they’re winning puck battles, they’re good on the wall, they’re stopping on pucks, they’re being difficult to play against.’’ “They’re obviously very good when they have the puck,’’ Sullivan said. “So usually our challenge with Phil and Geno all the time is just the subtleties and the details of the play away from the puck or without the puck that gives them the ability to get it back when they don’t have it.’’ “Me and Phil, we need [a] big game,’’ Malkin said, “to help the team win.’’

Obituaries & In Memoriam Marlene Eleanor Zenowski (nee Smith) We are saddened to announce that on June 5, 2017, Marlene Eleanor Zenowski decided that it was time to rejoin her husband Bill, after missing him for 10 long years. Bill Zenowski was the love of her life, and she the love of his, so we find comfort with the knowledge that they’re together again. Marlene was born in Kamloops (as the middle child to a British/Irish father and Swedish mother) but was not raised here, moving many times in her childhood years to follow her father’s work and army career. She loved Vancouver in particular, but eventually came back to Kamloops, met Bill, and stayed here for the rest of her life. The first moment Bill saw Marlene, he turned to his friend and told him that he was “going to marry that girl”... and they were together and inseparable for over 55 years. He called her “Mars “. Marlene was primarily a homemaker and mother (although she did work as a cook for a while after they bought the local A&W Restaurants). Marlene and Bill sold the restaurants and retired in 1974, (at the ages of 41 and 44) and then spent their winters golfing in California and Arizona -- their summers relaxing and socializing and golfing while living in their lakefront house at Lac Le Jeune. They shared a great life. Marlene loved to read books, and was a skilled seamstress and dressmaker - but her real gift to the world was her beautiful quilts. All of her family and friends have been lucky enough to have received many of her exquisite creations over the years, so she leaves these as part of her legacy to all of us. Marlene was predeceased by her adoring husband
and best friend, Bill, in 2007, and life has never been the same. She was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease two years later, but has been holding her own quite well until just this past week.
In Loving Memory Of Steven Baxter
July 21, 1985 - May 28, 2017 It is with profound sorrow and sadness that we announce the death of our deeply beloved son Steven.
Marlene is survived by one sister Joan (Bill) Ardren, and two children: Michael (Angela) Zenowski and Lisa (Stevan) Puharich. She also leaves six grandchildren: Krystyna (Derrick Benard) Spanell, Jason (Lisa) Zenowski, Laura (Aaron) Zenowski, Erik (Janice) Puharich, Nick Zenowski and Samantha Zenowski. Marlene has five great-grandchildren as well: Ainsley and Gillian Zenowski, Isabel Blue, Khoen Spanell and Kane Puharich. Her second great- grandson Eli will be born in early July. She was also loved, and will be missed, by her brother-in-law and his wife, Edward and Helene Zenowski. The family is forever grateful for the loving care that Marlene received during her past two-plus years at Pinegrove. We cannot express enough how much we appreciate the level of genuine caring you bring to all of the residents in that facility..... even when, like Marlene, their middle name is “sarcasm”!! As per Marlene’s wishes, there will be no formal service. If friends/family want to celebrate Marlene’s life, we suggest that you could do that by enjoying a piece of strawberry-rhubarb pie (her favourite --she always said: “Smith Family Motto: Save Room for Pie!!) ... or a shortbread cookie. (she made the very best - never to be replicated).
During his short life, Steven touched many people with his humour and love. He spent many hours writing and playing his guitar and enjoying fishing adventures. His curiosity and love for a party were boundless. He was a true free spirit, living for the day. Steve will be missed an remembered by the many who knew and loved him. Steve is survived by his broken hearted parents Dave (Shanamay) Baxter, Roseanne (Rich) Kovasin, sister Taylor (Dylan), grandpa Tom and grandma Betty. We wish to thank Steve’s numerous community of friends in Kamloops and Courtenay and the Trout Creek crew who provided support and assistance during this very difficult time. A Celebration of Steve’s Life will be held on Saturday, June 10, 2017 at 4169 Forfar Rd. (off York Rd.) in Campbell River, BC from 12:00 to 4:00 pm. Condolences may be expressed to the family www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

Helen Keith
June 11, 1932 - June 6, 2017 With profound sorrow we announce the passing of our deeply beloved Mother, Helen Keith (Bugera) of Kamloops. She passed away peacefully on June 6, 2017 at the age of 84. Mom was born in Vita, Manitoba, the daughter of Mike and Mary (Kiss) Bugera. She was the third of ten children. She met and married the love of her life, Gordon Kyle Keith in 1956, and moved west to B.C. (Chilliwack/Aldergrove) and together they raised four beautiful daughters, Linda (Bob) Shields of Kamloops, Barbara (Bart) Abercrombie of Mission, Donna (Len) Bourgeault of Kamloops and Heather (John) Fehr of Kamloops, plus thirteen grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren. Mom stayed at home to raise her family, and in 1990 they moved to Lac La Hache where she served as a Post Mistress for a number of years. She loved her veggie and flower gardens, and was well known for them in the area as “The house with the garden”. She was also an avid angler. She particularly loved ice fishing and spent many hours on lakes in the surrounding area of Lac La Hache. In 2011 they made Kamloops their home, and on December 8, 2016 celebrated their 60th Wedding Anniversary. Mom was a kind gentle soul, loved by all who knew her. She was an inspiration to us all and we will miss her dearly. A Remembrance Ceremony will be held on Tuesday, June 13, 2017 at 2:00pm. at the Schoenings Funeral Home at 513 Seymour St., Kamloops, BC.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Steven Petro Polywkan 1939 - 2017
Steve was born in Prudhomme, Saskatchewan on August 15, 1939 and passed away peacefully at Kamloops Hospice on May 10, 2017. After graduating from Langley High School in 1958, Steve married Carol Bregg in 1962 and together had two children, Perry (Darlene) and Pamela (Phil) in April 1964. He worked at CIBC for 39 years prior to retiring in 1997 holding many positions in many towns and cities across BC and the Yukon. Steve’s family grew to 20 with grandchildren and great-grandchildren, a wonderfully supportive and loving family. Steve was a member of the Kamloops Golf and Country Club for 20 years, and a Director there for four years. He was also a member of the MacArthur Island Curling Club for 18 years, holding various positions there too. He enjoyed golfing and camping, so we enjoyed many years with family and friends in trailers, fifth wheels and finally a motorhome. He will be missed very much by all who knew him, but especially his family, of which he was very proud. Many thanks to Drake Cremation and Funeral Services for all their help, and to the wonderful care at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice; donations can be made there in Steve’s name.

Reasons Kamloops
Loves Canada!
Chad Michael Ferris On May 28, 2017, in Whitehorse, YT, a car accident claimed the life of our beloved Chad at the young age of 32. He is deeply missed by his parents Lee and Kathy Ferris of Kamloops, his sister Holly Ferris of Yellowknife, NT, the love of his life Maddi Kempf of Kelowna and many cousins and other relatives near and far. Chad was born on May 6, 1985 in Richmond, BC. He moved with his family to Kamloops in 1988. He graduated from Valleyview Secondary in 2003, and upon graduation pursued a career as a Red Seal Carpenter. This line of work often led to his being away from Kamloops for extended durations. Chad was renowned for living every moment to the fullest. He was known for his infectious laugh, kind smile, mischievous nature and welcoming energy. He was a natural in sports competing for many years as a goalie in hockey, completing his career at the Junior A level in Bonneyville, AB. Spending quality time with his adoring loved ones ranked very highly for him throughout his far-too-brief time among us. A Celebration of Life for Chad’s family and friends will be held this Saturday, June 10, 2017 the Sandman Centre Lounge, 300 Lorne St. in Kamloops, BC at 2:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the ALS Society or a charity of your choice. Please cherish your memories of Chad, and be inspired to live life as he did; laughing, smiling and never wasting a single moment.
ONE FINAL GIFT Scatter me not to restless winds, Nor toss my ashes to the sea. Remember now those years gone by When loving gifts I gave to thee.
Remember now the happy times The family ties we shared. Don’t leave my resting place unmarked As though you never cared. Deny me not one final gift For all who come to see A single lasting proof that says I loved... and you loved me. DJ Kramer
