A Vancouver-area man is dead following a freak accident during a weekend pistol competition at a Kamloops shooting range. RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said police were called to the Kamloops Target Sports Association range at about 1 p.m. on Sunday. She said a 50-year-old man who had been tak-

ing part in a shooting competition accidentally shot himself. He later died at hospital. Association president Jim Sloper told KTW a two-day competition was slated to wrap up on Sunday when the accident took place. “I think there were about 120 competitors,” he said. “It was unfortunate. Somebody dropped his firearm and it went off. He was an experienced shooter, an instructor.” Sloper said he can’t recall a similar incident

ever taking place in the past. “The club’s been in existence for 100-some-odd years and we’ve never had anything like this happen,” he said. Sloper described the competition as a two-day International Practical Shooting Confederation target competition. “As far as I know, it was cut short,” he said. “I don’t know exactly what happened.” The investigation is ongoing.

Weather has improved in some valleys during the search for a missing Kamloops pilot and his passenger. Alex Simons of Kamloops and his companion, 21-year-old Sydney Robillard of Lethbridge, remained missing as of KTW deadline on Monday after they failed to land in Kamloops as scheduled last Thursday. The couple stopped in Cranbrook to refuel and took off again at about 2 p.m. On Monday, five military aircraft, along with 10 private aircraft, were searching in a 32-kilometre-wide possible

flight path between the East Kootenay city and Kamloops. Volunteers have been organized under a national agency and guided by military personnel in the search. They are also being utilized as spotters in military search and rescue aircraft. Spokesman Capt. Dennis Power, based out of the search headquarters at Kelowna International Airport, said weather has been a factor in the search. “Weather is improving,” he said. “Over the last four days, we’ve had challenging weather with low cloud and rain. Weather in the Okanagan Valley is better.”

The company that rented out the Piper Warrior aircraft (call letters CGDTK) confirmed it has an emergency beacon. Power said searchers “haven’t had any strong hit from the beacon.” The search is being conducted in dense mountain terrain and heavy forest canopy. Military aircraft from 442 Squadron, based in Comox on Vancouver Island, include three Buffalo aircraft and two Cormorant helicopters. A Griffon helicopter dispatched from Cold Lake, Alta., is also involved in the effort. In addition to military personnel are 70 volunteers based out of Kelowna.

Second city councillor candidate emerges ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Bill Sarai expects many of his Brocklehurst neighbours will recognize him when they see his face in the news — but only if he’s wearing his work uniform. The longtime letter carrier said he will be working hard to bridge that gap as he seeks a seat on Kamloops city council in the coming byelection. The pending resignations of Mayor Peter Milobar (who was elected MLA on May 9), Coun. Marg Spina (who is battling cancer) and Coun. Ken Christian (who will step down to seek the mayor’s chair) will lead to a byelection, likely in late September. All three have said they will step down on June 30. “I’m not only the mailman, I’m the eyes and ears of the neighbourhood,”said Sarai, a father of three who has delivered mail in the city for 22 years. “I take care of lost dogs, I

reunite old ladies back to their families if they’ve gone a little ways from their house and are not knowing their surroundings. “A lot of people know me for that. They wouldn’t recognize me in street clothes.” As a prospective councillor, Sarai said he wants to speak for the average working family, which he feels has been underrepresented at city hall during the past six years. “This term and last term there was always a disconnect, I felt, between council and its citizens,” he said. “I’ve been hearing more and more on the street, delivering mail and talking to my neighbours, that it’s getting worse.” Sarai points to council’s decision in 2015 to ban the use of cosmetic pesticides against what he thought were opposing views from many residents. He also pointed to council’s decision to sign on with Recycle BC — which gives the city more

Bill Sarai has become the second person to declare a bid for a city council seat in the upcoming byelection. Sarai joins former MLA Kevin Krueger among those seeking a seat on council.

than $1 million in revenue, but won’t let residents place glass or soft plastics curbside — as another time it has been out of touch. “They should have had a plan in place instead of telling people now they have to go to the local depot and drop off things there,” Sarai said. “In today’s world, it’s all about convenience. People have children they’ve got to get to school or to day care. “They don’t have time to be standing in line at General Grants to drop off recycling that used to be picked up. So, there’s a bit of a disconnect there, I think, that they’re not hearing or they’re not caring for.” Sarai sat on the city’s social planning committee in 2000 and has served as a member of the Norbrock Soccer and Kamloops Sikh Cultural Society executives. On the mayoral front, Christian, Reo Rocheleau and Cynthia Ross Friedman are in the race.

MP, mayoral candidate have concerns with pot legislation CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Access to marijuana by youth and zoning of retailers under new federal legislation remain concerns for local politician following a vote in the House of Commons. The Liberal government’s marijuana legislation recently passed second reading in the House of Commons. The Conservatives remain the only party to oppose legislation, with all but one Conservative MP voting against the bill. KamloopsThompson-Cariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod said the federal government has not addressed concerns about setting the legal age at 18. She also believes ability to grow up to four plants at home will have negative

consequences for safety and access by children. She cited a recent editorial in the Journal of the Canadian Medical Association. Many physicians recommended Ottawa set the minimum age at 25 due to potential harm in brain development. “It goes against all the advice to have the age at 18,” McLeod said. “Even as late as 25, there’s significant neural impact [by marijuana] on the brain development of young adults.” While the minimum age is 18 is set federally, like alcohol, provinces are expected to set their own legal age for access. Under current legislation, Canadians will be allowed to grow up to four plants at home. McLeod argued this has safety risks and implications for the

insurance industry, as well as potential to supply the black market. She is also concerned about access by youth to marijuana grown at home. City councillor Ken Christian, who recently announced his intention to run for the nowvacant mayoral seat, was in Ottawa last week for the Federation of Canadian Municipalities convention, where he had meetings on the upcoming legislation. Christian said his concerns centre on zoning for retailers, which he believes should be restricted from areas around schools and places where children gather. He also blames Ottawa for the proliferation of illegal medical marijuana shops. “During this period, the marijuana industry has revved up,” Christian said. “I believe we have

up to seven marijuana places in Kamloops.” Christian said the city has discussed dispensaries and shops now operating in Kamloops with RCMP and its bylaw officials. But there has been no action due to uncertainty about the law as it now stands. McLeod has held local surveys and town halls on some issues, including euthanasia. But she said the government bill is coming down whether voters here like it or not. “This is a government bill. It’s a government election promise. It’s moving its way forward, no question,” she said. “ My purpose is to mitigate and argue against things I find most concerning.” The federal Liberals want to have marijuana legalized by summer 2018.

Local connection to pot study A Kamloops emergency physician is part of a study underway looking at treating post-traumatic stress disorder patients with medical marijuana. Dr. Ian Mitchell is the clinician for the study overseen by University of B.C. and Tilray, a licenced producer of medical pot. It is administered by Zach Walsh, an assistant professor in the department of psychology at UBC Okanagan. Mitchell said there are stories about people using marijuana to treat symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder as an addition to or instead of pharmaceuticals. “Anecdotally, I think people find it helpful for their sleep,

decreased nightmares and a measure of calmness — sleep is the really big thing,” he said. The triple blind, placebocontrolled randomized trial will enrol 42 patients who have been diagnosed as a result of life-threatening events such as military combat, natural disasters, serious accidents or sexual assault as an adult or child. Three different substances will be given as part of the study: a potency of 10 per cent THC, 10 per cent THC/CBD and a placebo. They will be administered through a medical vaporizer. Part of Mitchell’s role will be to oversee patient safety. He acknowledged many are taking a number of drugs to deal

with symptoms. “I have a lot of patients who are past RCMP officers and they have pain issues as well . . . They often get a two-pronged benefit [from marijuana],” he said. Mitchell said in addition to this study is one being undertaken in Colorado. The federal government has also announced its intention to fund a study. “There’s a number of studies using the same protocols,” he said. “The idea is we can combine results and have stronger results at the end.” The study is still looking for patients to enrol.

Third robbery of downtown bank this year A Kamloops man arrested on Friday in connection with the robbery of a downtown bank had allegedly attempted to rob a nearby fastfood restaurant minutes before. Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said a man walked into the TD Canada Trust bank at Victoria Street and Third Avenue at 11:10 a.m. and demanded cash from a teller. He left with an envelope of money, which included an anti-robbery device that later helped Mounties identify the suspect. Shelkie said the suspect dropped the money a short distance from the bank and tried to walk away from the area. But he was arrested one block to the north, at Lansdowne Street and Third Avenue. Police allege the suspect had tried to rob the A&W restaurant at Lansdowne and Third before entering the bank, but left the eatery emptyhanded. Shelkie said there were no injuries sustained in either incident. The suspect, a 25-year-old man previously known to police, is in custody with charges pending. The robbery was the third this year at the downtown TD Canada Trust branch. Robberies were committed on Feb. 17 and March 31. Arrests were made in both of those heists.

A youth who has convictions for assault with a weapon and possession of stolen property is turning his life around, his support workers said in provincial court. The 16-year-old cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. He pleaded guilty to possession of stolen property when youth workers found a iPhone and debit card reader in his possession. Crown prosecutor Andrew Duncan said the items were reported missing from a delivery car parked on Tranquille Road on Nov. 28, 2016. A youth worker found the debit machine in the youth’s backpack, but he told Mounties he had found it. Another worker later found the stolen iPhone. Defence lawyer Don Campbell said the youth has exhibited “troubling behaviours” that included an assault with a weapon and crystal meth use. “He’s very serious about turning that around,” Campbell said. The youth completed elementary school and Grade 8 at private religious schools in Kamloops and recently attended a drug treatment program in Surrey. “Going in, he had challenges with crystal meth use in 2015 and 2016 and he was able to stop doing that with what he says is marijuana as a step-down drug,” Campbell said. Kamloops provincial court judge Chris Cleaveley accepted a joint submission from Duncan and Campbell for a one-year term, with an intensive sixmonth support and supervision order including an evening curfew, followed by six months of probation. The youth has a team of social workers, including a mentor who accompanies him much of the time.

Robertson’s trial finally begins TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

More than three years after police raided three homes belonging to an alleged Kamloops gangster, a judge has begun to hear evidence in the case against Jason Robertson. After pre-trial hearings in 2016 focusing on how certain evidence against the 38-year-old was gathered, the Crown began to call its case in B.C. Supreme Court on Monday. Robertson is facing 10 property- and firearms-related charges. Eight allegations against his wife, Sarah, were dismissed on Monday by B.C. Supreme Court Justice Jeanne Watchuk. Over two days in May 2014, Kamloops Mounties raided three homes — one in Sahali, one in Westsyde and one in

JASON ROBERTSON

Batchelor Heights — owned by Jason Robertson. Following the raids, Kamloops RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller showed reporters 40 firearms, bags of marijuana and cocaine and what police said was thousands of dollars worth of stolen electronics.

Police said at the time the operation was gang-related and Hells Angels stickers were visible on some items at the press conference. At an earlier hearing, court heard $50,000 in cash was seized from the Sahali home — the house alleged to have been the Robertsons’ primary residence. During proceedings in 2016, when defence lawyers challenged the methods used by police during their raid of the Sahali home, surveillance footage showed officers joking about leaving live ammunition in the family’s fireplace. “It was straight humour,” retired RCMP Sgt. Gary Senner said in court last year. “There was no intention to ever do that.” Robertson’s trial is expected to conclude on Friday.

Police seek woman reported missing Kamloops Mounties are asking for the public’s help in finding an 18-yearold woman reported missing. Suzie Emily Clark went missing from a Kamloops health centre on

Wednesday, June 7. Clark is First Nations, stands five feet and has a slim build. She has brown eyes, short blond hair with orange colouring and was last seen wearing jean shorts

and a grey sweater. Anybody with information on Clark’s whereabouts is asked to call police at 250828-3000.

For project details, please contact Rob Bremner at 250-578-2020 or cao@sunpeaksmunicipality.ca Council has determined it is in the best interest of the ratepayers that Sun Peaks Mountain Resort Municipality take over these services as the Municipality may have access to grant funding towards infrastructure. The Sun Peaks Mountain Resort Municipality Council proposes to borrow the money to purchase the composting facility and upgrade the water system unless, by 4:00 pm on July 21, 2017, at least 10% of the electors in the whole of the Sun Peaks Mountain Resort Municipality sign an elector response form opposing the implementation of the proposal unless the Sun Peaks Mountain Resort Municipality holds a vote. The number of elector responses required to prevent the Sun Peaks Mountain Resort Municipality from proceeding unless a vote is held is estimated to be 126. A report respecting the basis on which this determination was made is available upon request from the Municipal office.

LEGAL POT POSES LEGAL QUESTIONS

hether or not you agree with the decision to legalize marijuana, that train has left the station and is scheduled to roll down the track on July 1, 2018. The focus now must shift to how those changes will affect the rights of citizens, law enforcement and

the courts. Once the smoke settles, there must be clarity and consistency in how police and the courts deal with offenders under the federal government’s proposed new impaired driving legislation. A ruling by Justice Nigel Kent on May 18 quashed a charge of impaired driving against a Vancouver man who, according to the police report, had “glassy red eyes,” a “strong odour of marijuana” on him and pot grinders in plain sight in his vehicle. “The alleged reasonable and probable grounds in this case really boil down to a combination of slow driving, the odour of vegetative marijuana and glassy red eyes,” Kent stated in his ruling. “Absent more objectively compelling circumstances, however, three ‘mere possibilities’ do not a reasonable probability’ make.” On the flip side of that decision is a 2017 incident in Greater Victoria in which a woman’s licence was suspended for three months following a routine traffic stop. While she freely admitted the passenger in her vehicle had just smoked marijuana, she also insisted she has never smoked pot and repeated that in a sworn affidavit she filed in an attempt to overturn the suspension. What’s clear is that both cases illustrate the uncertainty of what lies ahead. Civil liberties groups and lawyers are already saying the proposed new legislation goes too far. One can make an argument for that in the woman’s case. In contrast, the Vancouver man appears to have gotten away with something, despite reasonable evidence that he was guilty. Both examples underline the need for clearly defined, consistent legal boundaries.

Intense few days in Ottawa

started the month in Ottawa at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) convention. This year’s event was the largest yet and attracted more than 3,000 delegates from big cities to small hamlets across Canada. I had only been to one FCM in Vancouver about five years ago. This meeting was much better, with a strong presence from the federal government, a solid academic program, many worthwhile study tours and the usual social and networking opportunities. It is often the social aspects of these meetings that garner criticism from taxpayers. For the record and in the interest of full disclosure, I went to three receptions and enjoyed the hospitality of CUPE National, where I got to meet the national president; Emterra, where I met the Western Canada vicepresident and discussed options for glass recycling; and Metro Vancouver, where I got to meet chair Greg Moore and its CAO and discuss regional concerns about climate change. I am sure this will not convince anyone about the value of networking for taxpayers, but I felt there solid connections were made. As for the keynote speakers, the headliner was Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the introduction of the Smart Cities Challenge. I agree with Deputy Mayor Arjun Singh that Kamloops may well have a chance at one of these awards. New Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer had only been sworn in that week, so the party was represented by their finance critic, Gérard Deltell, and he

KEN CHRISTIAN

View From

CITY HALL offered his concerns about the Federal Infrastructure Bank. Tom Mulcair addressed the assembly for the final time as NDP leader and Green Leader Elizabeth May also came and reiterated her opposition to Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline expansion. There were many perspectives, but all had a common message that local government is the most responsive and relevant level of government for local taxpayers. I spent two half-days on study tours. On the first, I toured the bus rapid transit system operated in the Ottawa area by OC Transpo. They are investing almost $5 billion in a system that integrates bus and light rail to make commuting faster, easier and less expensive. Connecting with all their major user groups, predominantly the federal government, University of Ottawa and Carleton University, they have done a deep dive into transportation demand management. They currently operate almost 1,000 buses and connect local area networks with dedicated bus lanes and roadways. They have an ambitious plan to expand their light rail and are currently tunnel-

ing to many downtown destinations. The second tour was with Ottawa’s chief forester and treecanada.ca. We learned about the complexity of the Ottawa urban forest and the importance and historical and national significance of its tree canopy. Ottawa spends $18 million per year on its program, which includes a sugar bush in Vanier, an experimental farm, extensive disease control efforts against the emerald ash borer and the amazing historical forest on the grounds of the Governor General’s residence. The significance of trees can never be overstated, but standing beside a maple planted by John F. Kennedy during a May 1961 state visit to Canada speaks volumes to the importance of trees in the urban form. The academic sessions of the conference were quite relevant, especially one on managing the risks of bike parks since the 2016 decision against Bruce County finding it liable for injuries sustained by a rider in its mountain bike park. While in Ottawa, I had an excellent opportunity to meet with MP Cathy McLeod and chat about the importance of Kinder Morgan and express concerns about marijuana legislation and municipal zoning. Throw in a visit to the Museum of History and Supreme Court of Canada and it was and intense and stimulating few days. Ken Christian is a Kamloops councillor.

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

PLEASE STOP COMPLAINING, START RECYCLING SLOW DOWN Editor: While I was on my way out of Westsyde last week, I saw a worker who had the miserable job of removing a dead deer from the side of the road. At this time of year, most of the deer around here are does who have just given birth, usually to twins. This means there’s a very good chance that whoever killed this doe has also killed two newborn fawns because they are starving to death, waiting for a mom who is never coming back. This just makes me so sad. Please slow down on Westsyde Road and anywhere else where deer are known to pass through. There is nothing that justifies trying to shave a couple of minutes off your travel time. Studies show there aren’t any appreciable time savings anyway, so why risk killing something or someone? Susan Beauchamp Kamloops

Editor: Are we getting too lazy to recycle? How difficult is it to have a container in your garage or basement for your plastic bags and glass and bring it to any one of the recycling depots around town?

Most people I know have some form of transportation. Obviously, those who complain about the city’s new recycling rules are not too committed to the environment. The city is also saving dollars

with this new program. Do your part to improve the environment and let’s stop expecting the government to do everything for us Peggy Wilds Kamloops

MEET WALDO THE HYDRANT Editor: You sometimes need to be able to find humour in life. When we were walking our dog Buddy on Saturday afternoon, we noticed a fire hydrant that has become, well, sort of hidden. Yes, this is a potentially difficult situation for firefighters in case of a nearby fire, but we had a chuckle as we remembered that silly cartoon where the character named Waldo is hidden and the caption reads, “Where’s Waldo?” We have named this hydrant “Waldo”. John Noakes Kamloops

THESE DOG DAYS OF SUMMER ARE TOO LOUD Editor: I live just off the downtown core in Kamloops and have a fantastic view of Mount Peter and Mount Paul. With the beautiful mornings we’ve had recently, there is nothing I enjoy more then to get comfy with my tea, enjoy the view of the mountains and watch

the valley wake up. Sounds just about perfect, right? Wrong. I have neighbours with dogs and they do not control their barking or even attempt to quiet them. I fail to understand that if I can hear the dogs barking out of control a half-block away, why can’t the homeowners hear them?

With the beautiful weather, there are more open windows, making these irresponsible pet owners more of a nuisance than ever. Please, Kamloopsians, be considerate of your neighbours and silence your dogs. Sandy Matthews Kamloops

Report urges water system improvements ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A new report from Interior Health is encouraging water systems with years-long boil notices and waterquality advisories to make changes for their users. Numbers released by the health authority show about 20 per cent of Interior Health’s water systems have had longterm quality issues. A little more than 240 of the systems (out of 1,900 in the health region) have had warnings posted every day of the past five years. “Drinking water advisories and notifications are meant to be a temporary means of protecting the health of water consumers by providing them with information about how they can reduce their risk of negative health

include e coli, salmonella and other diseases from microorganisms. Corneil said Interior Health has decided it needs to change its approach in places where water-quality advisories have lingered. That will mean moving away from simply regulating water quality and taking on a more active role on water issues. The goal is to educate politicians and residents in the areas about the risks involved, but also help them access funding from other levels of government. Interior Health also hopes to spark conversations with First Nations, Corneil said. While the health authority has less data on the state of water on reserves, previous assessments suggest three-quarters of First Nations’ water systems were at risk of waterquality issues.

treatment, systems used by a small number of homes may not be able to drum up money for improvements. Other times, resistance to changing the treatment process may stem from a lack of political will or a belief by users there’s not much risk involved. “There’s a mass number of people who go off camping and bring iodine and filter their water,” Corneil said. “And then we have groups of residents in these same areas who are just drinking off the surface. It’s this really interesting dichotomy of the way people in the Interior perceive their water.” Interior Health is most concerned about smaller systems, where users draw water off the surface of a body of water that isn’t treated or may be treated with only chlorine.

impacts,” the report states. But the goal is for those advisories to eventually be lifted. “We’ve reached the point where there are 20 per cent of the systems that aren’t moving forward for various reasons,” said Dr. Trevor Corneil, vice-president of population health and chief medical health officer for Interior Health. In many cases, it’s because the systems — and the communities they serve — aren’t big enough to make changes, Corneil said. All small systems in the region combined serve about 15 per cent of the population. While Kamloops, whose water-treatment plant was singled out as a success story in the report, was able to construct a modern water plant with multiple types of filtration and

Chief removed as infighting continues MARTHA WICKETT

SALMOM ARM OBSERVER

newsroom@saobserver.net

Adams Lake Indian Band Chief Paul Michel has been removed from his position. Documents posted on the website of the Adams Lake Band state that on May 5, the band’s community panel received a petition submitted by former chief Nelson Frederick Leon for the removal of Paul Fergus Michel. The four-member community panel had 30 days from receiving the petition, which requires 10 signatures, to investigate and render a decision. “. . . As a result of the investigation, the Adams Lake Indian Band Community Panel hereby removed Paul Fergus Michel as chief of the Adams Lake Indian Band effective June 4, 2017, for the breach of his ‘Oath of Office’ (five violations). The consensus of the Adams Lake Indian Band Community Panel is that Paul Fergus

Michel’s penalty is for two terms and is effective immediately with the penalty commencing 2017.” Michel, who is aboriginal education director at Thompson Rivers University, has been chief since December 2016. He won the election with 136 votes, while Leon was second with 61 votes. Henry Anthony and Joyce Kenoras-Pooley were also on the ballot. He has stated previously his belief that the community panel is flawed. The community panel members are David Nordquist, Lynn Kenoras, Maryann Yarama and Sandra Lund. In a statement that was posted on the band’s website in April, he wrote: “As discussed on the February 23, 2017, general band meeting, there was consensus that Adams Lake has a Customs Election Rules flaw that allows a Community Panel to disrupt our Adams Lake Band governance and that allows for potential abuses of power. For example, Adams

ONE DAY ONLY!

Lake since my election on December 15, 2016, has been without a full quorum for about one-half the time due to our flawed system.” The ongoing internal governance issue saw three council members removed from office in September 2016, reinstated while they appealed the removal process and then removed from office when their appeal was dismissed. The three, Georgina Johnny, Brandy Jules and Ronnie Jules, appealed the dismissal. Michel filed an affidavit in support of the appeal, asking the three be reinstated again until their appeal is heard. They were reinstated as they await a Federal Court decision. Currently, four councillors are listed on the band’s website – Norma Manuel, Greg Witzky, Brandy Jules and Ronnie Jules. Band regulations require a by election within 60 days of a vacancy, so it remains to be seen when a byelection for chief would proceed.

Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley declared Simpson “by reason of mental infirmity arising from a traumatic brain injury incapable of managing himself or his affairs.” Teichrieb is due back in court on July 10. He is accused of attacking Simpson after allegedly finding him on his property. Simpson’s family and friends have said the Savona teen and South Kamloops secondary student had been 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

A Kamloops teenager who was beaten into a coma following a high-school graduation party last year has been declared legally infirm, leaving his mother to act on his behalf. Susana Simpson was appointed the committee of her 19-year-old son, Jessie, at the conclusion of a brief hearing in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops on Monday. Jessie Simpson was attacked on June 19, 2016, in Brocklehurst. An area homeowner, Kristopher Teichrieb, has been in custody since the time of the incident and is charged with attempted murder and aggravated assault. Simpson, who was 18 at the time of the assault, was in a coma for months afterward.

CRTC chairman won’t reapply for position TORONTO — The chairman of Canada’s telecommunications regulator says he is not reapplying for the role, days before his five-year term — one marked by clashes with industry at a time of seismic change — comes to a close. Jean-Pierre Blais assumed the helm of the CRTC at a time of technological upheaval with the rise of video streaming services like Netflix and the accelerating rollout of high-speed mobile networks. During his tenure, Blais championed a number of policies intended to be consumerfriendly, developing a reputation along the way for being one of the more activist CRTC leaders in recent memory. “I think we’ve made a difference and I’ll let it up to other people,’’ he said in an interview on Monday. He said he did not know who would succeed him. Blais implemented so-called skinny TV packages for no more than $25 per month, enacted a wireless code of conduct and declared broadband Internet access a basic service — the latter a move applauded by consumer advocacy group

OpenMedia, a frequent CRTC critic. Michael Geist, who holds the Canada Research Chair in Internet and E-Commerce Law at the University of Ottawa, said the changes that came under Blais will have an impact long after his departure. “Shifting the culture of a government agency and working to bring Canada’s communications regulatory framework into the digital age is something that largely eluded his predecessors,’’ Geist said on his website. “Blais came to the commission with an exceptionally ambitious agenda. He achieved far more than could have reasonably been expected and he is likely to be regarded as the most consequential CRTC chair in a generation.” Blais repeatedly squared off with the big telecom companies, holding little back in his pronouncements. He slammed Rogers and Shaw after they shut down their video streaming service Shomi last year, publicly musing whether they became too accustomed to a “protected ecosystem rather than rolling

up their sleeves” to strengthen their businesses. Last October, he also incurred some corporate scorn after announcing interim rates the big telcos must charge independent service providers to gain access to their faster networks. Some of the telcos warned if those rates were maintained, that could hamper future investment in broadband networks. Even leaders of news organizations found themselves a target of the CRTC chairman. At a speech before the Canadian Club of Toronto, he painted some of them as greedy “corporate executives who own luxury yachts and private helicopters” with their hands out for public subsidies. He also hinted the CRTC may not renew licences of TV service providers that fail to respect the spirit of the regulator’s basic cable regulations. Blais, whose term ends Saturday, said he has no immediate plans. “Taking the summer off and we’ll see.” — The Canadian Press

line Sunday in Wheatley River, P.E.I., when high winds carried the trampoline across the yard, tearing the clothesline off a pole and landing on her. “She just went outside to play,’’ her grandmother Stella McNeill said Monday. “She was only out a couple minutes when they heard a loud bang.” Ella’s father ran out and lifted the trampoline off her, but she was unconscious. “She’s only 37 pounds,” she said. “It’s a big trampoline and it landed right on her.” The girl regained consciousness after about five minutes and then started to cry, McNeill said. Paramedics took Ella to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Charlottetown, where doctors ran tests before she was airlifted around midnight to the IWK Health Centre in Halifax. Ella has a concussion and a badly

bruised lung, but McNeill said doctors expect she will make a full recovery. “The breathing tubes have all come out and she’s breathing on her own,’’ she said. “They say the bleed is very small on her brain, so things are going very good.’’ McNeill added: “She’s quite a little spitfire. She’s got three older sisters and she holds her own pretty well.” McNeill is urging parents to tie down trampolines to prevent a similar accident — or worse. “Spend $20 bucks and get the pegs and tie them down,’’ she said. “It’s a cheap fix because the next one might not be so lucky.” The accident took place at Ella’s paternal grandparent’s house and they have since gotten rid of the trampoline, said McNeill, who is Ella’s maternal grandmother. — The Canadian Press

Longest-serving chief justice set to step down JOHN WARD

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin is stepping down from the Supreme Court of Canada in December after 28 years on the court, including almost 18 years as chief. McLachlin, 74, is the first woman to hold the top job on the high court and is also Canada’s longest-serving chief justice. She will leave Dec. 15, about nine months before her legally mandated retirement on her 75th birthday in September 2018. She was sworn in as a justice of the Supreme Court in 1989 and was appointed chief justice 11 years later. Her time at the court has seen a number of groundbreaking decisions, including a series of rulings that strengthened indigenous rights as the justices gradually entrenched the notion that governments have a duty to consult and accommodate aboriginal people before making decisions that could affect First Nations. In recent years, the court ruled on the country’s prostitution laws and the concept of physician assistance in dying. McLachlin and the Supreme Court delivered a series of stinging rebukes to the government of former prime minister Stephen Harper. The court ruled the Harper government could not use Parliament alone to impose Senate term limits, allow consultative elections for senatorial candidates or abolish the upper chamber. The justices later supported Vancouver’s controversial Insite safe-injection facility and overturned a Conservative sentencing law that was part of the government’s law-and-order regime. The court also shot down Harper’s appointment of Marc Nadon of the Federal Court to its ranks, saying he didn’t meet the criteria. The ruling said Quebec appointments to the court had to come from the sitting judges on the Quebec Court of Appeal or Superior Court, or from the Quebec bar. “Chief Justice McLachlin’s judicial accomplishments are unparalleled in Canadian history,’’ Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Monday in response to her retirement announcement. “She has been a judicial leader and trailblazer for almost four decades. She is one of Canada’s very finest jurists. “After 28 years at the Supreme Court of Canada, her contributions reach into every part of our law.’’ He said the country owes her an immense debt. Gov. Gen. David Johnston called her a groundbreaking and influential leader.

“Her achievements and leadership are widely admired everywhere in Canada and around the world,’’ he said in a statement. “Her legacy will influence generations to come.’’ Justice Minister Jody WilsonRaybould praised McLachlin’s commitment to the law. “She has entirely solidified her place in our country’s history and in our legal history,’’ the minister said. Wilson-Raybould wasn’t prepared to discuss what the government will look for in a successor, saying that is a matter for another day. “Today is a day to celebrate her legacy, what she’s contributed to our country and its evolution.’’ Conservative MP Michael Cooper said McLachlin has served with distinction and left an incredible record. “We will look back upon her many accomplishments as chief justice and congratulate her and thank her,’’ he said. In recent major cases, the court tackled the issue of delays in the legal system, which in some instances have led to charges being dropped. This ties into another of McLachlin’s concerns: access to the courts. “Access to justice in Canada remains a serious problem that imperils the public’s confidence in the justice system,’’ she said in a speech to the Canadian Bar Association last summer. “Rules and procedures are still, sometimes, more complicated than they should be, causing unnecessary delays. Financial barriers continue to thwart access to justice. The low level of funding for legal aid leads litigants to appear in courtrooms without the support of counsel, placing unfair burdens on courts, the litigants, the bar and, ultimately, the public purse.’’ As chief justice, McLachlin encouraged better understanding of the law. She worked to reduce the number of voices in the court’s decisions, to improve clarity and certainty. She promoted better relations with journalists, offering briefings to allow reporters to get fuller explanations from senior court officials about important rulings. McLachlin grew up in Pincher Creek, Alta., and was educated at the University of Alberta, where she earned a BA and MA in philosophy and a law degree. She was called to the Alberta bar in 1969 and to the British Columbia bar in 1971 and practised law in both provinces. She also taught for seven years in the law faculty at the University of British Columbia. In April 1989, she was sworn into the Supreme Court of Canada and became chief in January 2000.

Crown: Child killer a threat GEORDON OMAND

THE CANADIAN PRESS

NEW WESTMINSTER — The brutal nature of the crimes committed by a man who stabbed his daughter to death and smothered his two sons means he poses too much of a threat to be allowed escorted outings into the community, a Crown lawyer said. Wendy Dawson asked a British Columbia Supreme Court judge on Monday to designate Allan Schoenborn, 49, a high-risk accused. Schoenborn was found not criminally responsible because of a mental disorder for killing his three children, aged five to 10, at the family’s home in Merritt in April 2008. “Offences of such a brutal nature . . . indicate a risk of grave physical or psychological harm,’’ Dawson told the court in New Westminster. “There’s a substantial likelihood that Mr. Schoenborn will

use violence that could endanger the life and safety of another person in the future.’’ Schoenborn’s lawyer, Rishi Gill, said he would not dispute the “brutal nature’’ of his client’s offences. An earlier trial found Schoenborn was experiencing psychosis at the time of the killings and believed he was saving his children from sexual and physical abuse, though no evidence suggested this was the case. If Schoenborn is designated a high-risk accused, it would severely limit the possibility of outings for him and extend the time between his review-board hearings to three years. The legislation of the high-risk designation was brought in under the previous Conservative government. Former prime minister Stephen Harper used Schoenborn’s case as an example when he introduced the law. Dawson referenced earlier

court proceedings to argue that Schoenborn is capable of lying and that he tailors his behaviour to make a positive impression on the review board. The board’s members decide if he should be granted outings. “He’s not this individual who is of very limited intellect or ability,’’ she said. “He is prone to lie if it will benefit him or if it will assist him in getting out of some legal difficulty.’’ Dawson told the judge there is no requirement that possible future violence be as heinous as the original crime in order for an accused to be designated high risk. “It’s sufficient if there’s a substantial likelihood the person will use violence by endangering the life and safety of another person,’’ she said. Proceedings are expected to last a week, and arguments around whether the designation of high-risk accused complies with the charter are expected to begin June 26.

For road-trippers who are pulling a trailer, here are a few things to remember before the long haul. Start by checking the owner’s manual to ensure the torque and towing capacity. The towing capacity will depend on whether the trailer has brakes. • Use towing mirrors or stick-on concave spotter mirrors. Adjust them to help see around the trailer; • Balance weight on the towball — too much will strain the vehicle’s suspension and tow hitch and reduce the driver’s steering grip; too little could mean instability; • Correct tire pressure — too little means hotter tires that could produce trailer sway or a blow-out; • Create a hitching and unhitching routine so it is easy to remember every checkpoint; • Use a spotter when reversing; hand signals work best. Remember to steer in the opposite direction you want the trailer to go; Increase distance and remember it will take longer to pass and make lane changes. • Leave room when turning. A trailer will “cut in” and take a shorter path around a corner than the vehicle.

Sahali Mall bounces back from Target departure JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

icture 175 people jumping on a floor completely covered in trampoline and you’ll get an idea of a new business expected to bounce into the former Target location in Sahali Mall this fall. Jump 360 Trampoline Park plans to open alongside Value Village and Planet Fitness in late August or early September. “It’s just a big amuse-

ment park,” said Wade Mosher, one of the company’s four partners. “A lot of fun for everyone.” The floors will be raised three feet and covered with trampoline, complete with foam pits, an air bag, basketball hoops and battle beams. Patrons will be equipped with grip socks. “Some of our trampolines are on angles,” Mosher said. “So you can bounce off the walls, as well.” The concept began more than two years ago in Edmonton and expanded into Red Deer shortly after. When look-

ing to develop its third location, the partners considered Calgary, Kelowna and the River City. Mosher touted the former Target building for its size and location and said Kamloops has a similar demographic to Red Deer. “We really think it’ll go over really well,” he said. Mosher said the park is geared at people of all ages — he’s 47 and enjoys it — and said a specific area will be designated for youngsters. The business model is pay by the hour, but the rates have yet to be set. Birthday parties, corpo-

rate events and school field trips will be accommodated in three separate party rooms. Mosher said about 175 people can be on the floor at the same time. “In Red Deer, it was insane for the first bit,” he said. Target vacated the mall in 2015 after just two years, when the company pulled out of the Canadian market. Planet Fitness, a chain fitness centre, is also expected to open its lone Kamloops location in the space, while Value Village is expected to move from downtown to occupy

the final third. In leasing the 100,000 square foot location, the mall’s building manager Tara Swain said it’s “exciting.” “We’re getting closer and I think we are on the upswing,” she said. “Hopefully more good things to come.” The mall is at 945 West Columbia St.

“It’s just a big

amusement park. A lot of fun for everyone.”

Jump 360 is opening a trampoline park in Sahali Mall at the end of the summer. It will be located in the former Target location, alongside Planet Fitness and Value Village.

What are your investing blind spots? Who hasn't made a poor decision in life? Perhaps you ate ice cream instead of dieting, or binged on Netflix when you should have been doing your taxes (personally guilty). Regarding your finances, maybe you made an impulse purchase or blamed others for bad choices. Don't be discouraged, you are human. It happens despite best intentions, knowledge level or experience. Understanding why and how to avoid these behaviors can be explained through behavioral finance: the study of how people make decisions in relation to money. By realizing we have blind spots, we may either take action ourselves or engage the help of others to keep us in check. Either way, the goal is the same: To make better financial decisions. Recently at TD Wealth, we rolled out a 'behavioural finance discovery tool' that assists investors to identify, learn about them and help avoid their unique blind spots. Here are some common financial blind spots: 1) Resistance to taking losses or profits Investors often put a lot of time, money and

effort into stock picks. The hardest thing to do is sell. With bad investments, it is often because we hate to admit failure. With good ones, we expect the value will continue to rise and fear selling would be getting out too early. How many got it wrong with Nortel? Many believed their stock would continue to skyrocket when the unthinkable happened and it went to zero. 2) Sensitivity to Noise We live in the technology age where information is over-abundant. The amount of negative media in the world today can be flat out disheartening. The problem with information is filtering out noise. There always seems to be a contrarian pundit telling everyone to get out as the next crash is coming. They are not accountable for when they get it wrong… which often is the case. Your wealth can suffer if you make a knee-jerk reaction. Remembering your investment goals and objectives should guide your investments, not the most recent headline. 3) Framing Consider you have a million dollars in an investment portfolio. Due to market events, you are down 5%. Often, framing in terms of dollars tends to elicit more of an emotional reaction. Hearing you are down $50,000 could lead an investor to sell in panic. By looking at similar problems in different ways, it can help bring rationality to our decisions. 4) Short-Term Focus Humans tend to focus on immediate needs (food, water, shelter etc). Saving for retirement 30 years

away? Not so easy to prioritize when work, family and paying down debts demand the majority of our time. Human nature discounts a reward that arrives later. However, saving for the future is necessary in order to be well funded for retirement. Falling to the trap of "once I pay for this, then I will save for retirement" tends to be a never-ending circle. 5) Over-Confidence bias Your friend picked a 'sure thing' for his portfolio which doubled in value. He is proud of himself and has told you and everyone else. That same friend then picked the 'next sure thing' but the price dropped in half. Now he's blaming the markets, the company, his advisor, and even his luck. The problem with attaching success to yourself and failure to an outside influence is that you may mistakenly grant yourself wisdom and experience you may not actually have, and become overconfident in your skills. Even the pros get it wrong from time to time. Warren Buffet, arguably one of the best investors of our time, has admitted his mistakes, learned from them and moved forward. He shows humility and a regimented process for investing. To overcome your financial blind spots, you may wish to consult a professional who can work with you to design a plan that fits your unique lifestyle, goals and circumstances.

STUCK IN 1995? NDP leader John Horgan and B.C. Green Party leader Andrew Weaver have vowed to order a B.C. Utilities Commission review of the Site C dam project upon teaming up in the B.C. legislature.

Clark warns of Site C delay NOT REMOVING TWO HOMES COULD COST A YEAR, $600 MILLION likely to progress past the ‘point of no return’ before the B.C. Utilities Commission review you have suggested could be reasonably concluded.” Horgan responded, calling Clark’s claims of cost escalation “unsupported” and accusing the B.C. Liberals of driving up BC Hydro bills due to “mismanagement” of the project. Horgan wrote to BC Hydro CEO Jessica McDonald May 31 to ask for a lease extension for two families, including Peace Valley Landowner Association members Ken and Arlene Boon, whose homes are on a road right-of-way needed for the dam. “I believe there is no demonstrated short-term need to force these families from their homes, and because of the status of the next governments of British Columbia are uncertain, the threat of imminent removal of residents from their expropriated homes and property is unreasonable,” Horgan wrote. Clark’s letter says, “the relocation of the homes in question is necessary as part of a two-year road and bridge

Premier Christy Clark has written to the NDP and Green Party leaders, warning that a delay in removing two homes from the path of a Site C dam road could delay the project by a year and cost as much as $600 million. In letters released last week, Clark asked both NDP leader John Horgan and B.C. Green Party leader Andrew Weaver to consider Horgan’s request to delay the removal of two homes on land expropriated by BC Hydro for the third dam on the Peace River. A decision must be made by June 15 on whether to proceed, Clark wrote. Her letters also ask: “. . . whether or not you would like government to issue a ‘tools down’ request to BC Hydro on the other decisions that are essential in maintaining the budget and construction schedule of the Site C Clean Energy Project, given that the project is

construction project that will enable river diversion to occur in September 2019.” River diversion has to be done when water is low in summer, not in winter when the two existing Peace River dams are running water through turbines to supply winter electricity demand. “Preliminary work undertaken on this issue by BC Hydro indicates that should river diversion not be completed as scheduled, a year-long delay would occur in order to divert the river during the next lowflood period, in September 2020,” Clark wrote. “This oneyear delay is estimated to cost ratepayers $600 million. “Given the obligation that BC Hydro has in place with respect to road construction and completion, a decision to proceed will need to be made no later than June 15, 2017 in order to maintain the September 2019 river diversion schedule.” Weaver responded to Clark’s letter, saying he would need access to official documents on the project before he could respond to her questions.

Stats Canada reports strong jobs growth ANDY BLATCHFORD

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The labour market rode a surprisingly strong wave of new jobs last month as the country churned out 77,000 full-time positions, Statistics Canada said on Friday. Overall, 54,400 jobs were added in May after accounting

“

We think the Canadian economy is in a very good place right now.

”

— BRIAN DEPRATTO, TD senior economist

for declines in other categories including part-time work, the latest labour force survey said. The agency found the national unem-

ployment rate edged up to 6.6 per cent, a rise of 0.1 of a percentage point, as more people entered the job market in search of work.

The fresh numbers added to several positive labour-market gains since the middle of 2016. The survey said the latest monthly number means overall employment was 1.8 per cent higher compared to a year earlier. Analysts applauded the above-expectations headline figures

Friday, as well as most of the finer details in the report. “There’s a lot to like here,” said TD senior economist Brian DePratto, who noted it added yet another good set of data to a growing stack of positive economic numbers in recent months. “We think the Canadian economy is in a very good place right now.” In his research note to clients, BMO’s Benjamin Reitzes called the jobs survey “a solid report almost from top to bottom.” A closer look at the data showed healthy gains in some of the survey’s more-desirable categories — with 59,400 new jobs created in the private sector and 68,500 new paid employee positions. By industry, the services sectors gained 31,300 jobs last month while factories added 23,300 positions, including 25,300 more in manufacturing. In services, there was a gain of 25,900 jobs in the professional, scientific and technical services category. Youth employment gave the overall number a boost as 38,200 more young people found fulltime work last month. The unemployment rate for youth slipped 0.3 percentage points to 12 per cent last month as more young people participated in

the job market. The numbers easily eclipsed expectations leading up to the survey’s release. Economists had expected a gain of 11,000 jobs and for the unemployment rate to move up to 6.6 per cent, according to Thomson Reuters. By province, Statistics Canada said Ontario, British Columbia and Quebec saw the biggest job gains last month. Quebec’s unemployment rate dropped 0.6 percentage points to six per cent — its lowest level since Statistics Canada started collecting the data in 1976. DePratto said the only soft numbers in the report Friday were the still-weak data for wage growth and hours worked, although he added they did improve somewhat in May. The agency said hourly wages for all employees grew 1.3 per cent year-overyear last month, an increase over April’s all-time low of 0.7 per cent. The number of hours worked rose 0.7 per cent, the report said. DePratto said the jobs numbers combined with other robust economic figures of late, including growth, trade, and retail, will likely start to tilt the Bank of Canada towards hiking its benchmark interest rate.

RATE HIKE NOT IN CARDS YET OTTAWA — The Bank of Canada’s second in command says the country is riding an encouraging burst of economic momentum that’s fuelling growth in 70 per cent of its industries. But in a speech today, senior deputy governor Carolyn Wilkins is also hinting the central bank is not quite ready to hike its benchmark interest rate due to several lingering uncertainties. Wilkins said the broad-based surge in growth is something Canada hasn’t seen since before the oilprice shock nearly three years ago. Wilkins is crediting strength in consumer spending, the services sector and the housing markets for helping carry Canada over the last few years — and now points to expanding business investment, particularly in the energy sector, as another promising sign. However, she also suggests the central bank will remain cautious when it comes to the interest rate as she underscores ongoing uncertainty surrounding U.S. economic policy, Canada’s belowtarget inflation as well as employment weaknesses in wage growth and the number of hours worked. The bank’s next scheduled rate decision is July 12. — The Canadian Press

Sun Devils’ catcher Steven Rintoul makes contact with a pitch in weekend action against the Coquitlam Angels. ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

Plenty of changes as Sun Devils eye B.C. title ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Will a changing of the guard mean a return to the promised land for the Sun Devils? It certainly feels like a familiar storyline. The 2017 Kamloops Sun Devils’ roster is one that harkens back memories of 2014, the last year the Kamloops senior men’s baseball team captured a provincial title and earned a berth at the national championship. That season, the Sun Devils had a strong core of veterans, all entering their mid-20s and in the prime of their baseball careers. Joining them were the most dominant of the Thompson Rivers WolfPack’s roster, creat-

ing a deep, talented team that went the distance, defeating the Langley Blaze in a 16-inning thriller to capture their first provincial title in more than 25 years. Alex Reid had just graduated from Thompson Rivers University that year and joined the starting rotation for the Sun Devils. He sees a lot of similarities between the Sun Devils roster in 2014 and what the club expects to have on the diamond in 2017. “We had a really good core of our TRU guys and I kind of see that this year,” Reid said. “The older guys then were only 25, 26, 27. Now that’s kind of where we are as alumni guys. I see that connection.

“We have that good core like we did when we won that year. We’ve got really good pitching this year and if we can keep throwing well and playing good defence, we’re going to hit, so I’m not worried about that.” Reid and the Sun Devils hit the field at Norbrock Stadium for the first time this past weekend, taking on the Coquitlam Angels on McArthur Island. The club went 1-1, winning 5-3 before losing the rematch 10-4, and is .500 on the season after going 2-2 against the Burnaby Bulldogs to start the season on the first weekend in June. Kamloops will head to Prince George to take on the Grays before returning to Norbrock for four games against the Bulldogs

on June 17 and June 18. The Sun Devils will play in the B.C. Senior Men’s League in 2017, giving them the opportunity to face potential provincial championship competition week in and week out. Their schedule includes the Bulldogs, Grays and Angels, the Okanagan Athletics and a trio of games against the Pacific International League’s (PIL) Seattle Studs. “It’s going to give us the opportunity to focus and hone in on winning provincials this year because we’re going to be facing those teams more often,” Reid said. In recent seasons, Kamloops played in the PIL, which is made up primarily of U.S.-based teams.

“We were focusing on beating these American teams and it didn’t really mean anything, then we were losing to the B.C. teams,” Reid continued. Though he expects to see positive results on the field with the club’s new stable of veterans, Reid said there is also a difficult side to seeing some of the Sun Devils’ longtime regulars move on. “We’re going to be a little bit younger, a little bit faster, a little fresher. I think it’s going to be good for us,” he said. “They taught all of us lots. It was fun playing with them. It’s too bad we can’t play together forever, but that’s life. Now we’re the older guys and we have to teach the younger guys things.”

KGCC pros to golf for ALS They may need tubes of blister cream and plenty of energy bars, but two Kamloops golf professionals are more than happy to sacrifice their time for an important cause. Kamloops Golf & Country Club will be the site of a remarkable golfing marathon on Thursday, June 15 — and you can be part of the event. The 12th annual PGA of B.C. Golfathon for ALS will take place at 36 courses across B.C. — including the Kamloops course just past the airport. Each year, the event raises awareness of, and funds for, the ALS Society of B.C. Since its inception in 2005, the golfathon has BRICE MacDERMOTT raised $1.3 million for the cause, with this year’s provincewide goal being at least $200,000. On June 15, Kamloops Golf & Country Club general manager and executive pro Brice MacDermott and head pro Alec Huber will play golf for 17.5 hours, hoping to finALEC HUBER ish 14 rounds and complete 252 holes. To accomplish this Herculean feat, MacDermott and Huber will be up with the birds, teeing off at 4:30 a.m. and driving, pitching, chipping and putting straight through to 10 p.m. MacDermott said the goal is to finish rounds in a time of 70 to 90 minutes, so the 14-round, 252-hole dream can be realized. “I have participated in this on five separate occasions, playing over 850 holes of golf in the five years,” he said.

“This year, we hope to raise over $3,000 for the cause.” Those interested in donating can do so online by visiting golfathonforals.com/node/247, or by visiting the Kamloops Golf and Country Club at 16-2960 Tranquille Rd., or calling 250-376-3231. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is a neurodegeneration of the aging nervous system, with a peak onset at about 60 years of age. However, young-onset of ALS is not rare. ALS affects about two in 100,000 people, but at any given time there are about 4,000 people living with ALS in Canada. ALS is rapidly progressive, with an average life expectancy after diagnosis of three to five years. However, about 15 per cent of patients have a slower course and some may live for many years. Famed theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking is an example of someone living with slowly progressive ALS. ALS can hit anyone, at any time, regardless of age, gender or ethnic origin. Support equipment costs an average of $137,000 per patient; nursing and/or home-care costs can total up to 10 times that amount. Classic early symptoms of ALS consist of progressive painless muscle weakness and wasting. This usually begins on one side of the body and can cause loss of hand dexterity, shoulder function, a footdrop or walking difficulty. In about 25 per cent of ALS cases, there is difficulty articulating and swallowing. The cause of ALS and other neurodegenerations presently remains elusive.

Hitters or pitchers at MLB Draft?

Jays look at home in Seattle

DENNIS WASZAK

TIM BOOTH

NEW YORK — Brendan McKay’s fastball-firing left arm has made him the possible No. 1 overall pick in the Major League Baseball draft. Thing is, so has the Louisville slugger’s bat. The Cardinals star is one of college baseball’s greatest two-way players, a rare talent who has given big league ballclubs a tough question to consider: Do they take McKay as a pitcher, hitter — or both? “That remains to be seen, whether or not someone can do that,’’ said Minnesota Twins chief baseball officer Derek Falvey, whose team picked first in the draft that started Monday night after KTW’S press deadline. “I’m not necessarily saying it’s impossible, but the amount of time, if you talk to any of these guys, that they put in on either the hitting side or the pitching side, to double that, no one’s figured out a way to make more than 24 hours in a day.” With McKay, though, a team might be willing to find out. He won his third straight John Olerud Two-Way Player award on Monday after hitting .343 with 17 home runs and 56 RBIs for the College World Series-bound Cardinals. He’s also 10-3 with a 2.34 ERA on the mound. Two-way players in high school and college aren’t uncommon in the draft, with Olerud, Dave Winfield, Ken Brett, Jason Jennings and A.J. Reed among the big names whom major league teams had to make a call on. But this year’s draft class has a handful expected to be selected early. In addition to McKay, California high school shortstop and righthanded pitcher Hunter Greene has piqued lots of interest from teams picking early, including the Twins. The Blue Jays had two selections in the first round, 22nd and 28th overall.

SEATTLE — Over three days that felt more like home games, the Toronto Blue Jays got depth from their starting pitching and — of course — another handful of home runs to find themselves back on the cusp of finally reaching the break-even mark. Josh Donaldson hit a two-run homer in the first inning and finished with three RBIs, J.A. Happ rediscovered the form that made him a 20-game winner last season with six shutout innings and the Jays beat the Seattle Mariners 4-0 on Sunday. Donaldson and the Blue Jays knocked out Seattle starter James Paxton (5-1) after just four innings, handing him his first loss of the season and sending the thousands of Toronto fans from Western Canada back north of the border after their team won two of three this weekend. Toronto is 13-6 over its past 19 games, is 31-32 for the season and within a game of .500 for the third time since the opening week. “Not damage to the point where I was trying to come unglued on him, but damage to where I could hit a ball in the gap and if I clip it enough maybe go deep,’’ Donaldson said of his homer. “I was definitely going heater at that point because I know he’s got a really good heater, as he should. I know he likes to go to it. He’s blown me up with it a few times in the past.’’ Donaldson went opposite-field for his eighth homer of the season on a 2-0 pitch. He finished with three hits, including an RBI single in the fourth for a 3-0 lead. Toronto has hit home runs in 33 of 38 games since the start of May. Kendrys Morales also had an RBI single in the fourth. “It was good to see we scored other ways than the home run,’’ Toronto manager John Gibbons said.

CROSBY JOINING THE GREATS JONAS SIEGEL

THE CANADIAN PRESS

The Pittsburgh Penguins were basking in the glory of their first Stanley Cup since 2009 at about this point last year, but Kris Letang already sensed Sidney Crosby looking ahead to future feats. Crosby was eager to start training for the World Cup of Hockey and also believed the Penguins had what it took to go backto-back. “The details, what he wants to accomplish, it’s pretty incredible,’’ Letang, Crosby’s long-time Penguins teammate, said with admiration earlier this month. Crosby just wrapped up a stunning and perhaps unprecedented two-year run — maybe the most dominant stretch in a career that’s long been bound for the Hall of Fame. Penguins’ head coach Mike Sullivan said Crosby deserved

mention among the all-time greats and was “arguably’’ the finest player in his generation, but that debate has long been over. No one really even comes close. “You have a small window to play and to have a career and I feel fortunate, but I also understand how difficult it is, so you just want to try to make the best of it,’’ Crosby said. Logan Couture, a Team Canada teammate at the World Cup, said it was “fun’’ to watch Crosby up close and lauded his vision, play with and without the puck and ability to burst into open space. “He really is the best player in the world,’’ said Couture glowingly. Penguins teammates said the same thing after Game 5 of the final against the Predators when Crosby — within the first 91 seconds — hit a post, drew a penalty and set up the first goal in a 6-0 win.

“He’s pretty inspirational when he plays that way and gets to a level that not many guys can get to,’’ veteran Matt Cullen said. Crosby finished these playoffs with 27 points in 24 games and now is tied for 10th all-time with 1.11 points per-game in the post-season (minimum 50 games). Only 18 players have more than his 164 career playoff points and only 19 have mustered more than his 107 assists — all of them in earlier eras when scoring was higher. Crosby has averaged 1.31 points per-game in the regular season for his career, a mark that’s bettered only by Wayne Gretzky (1.92), Mario Lemieux (1.88), Mike Bossy (1.50) and Bobby Orr (1.39). Even Gretzky never won back-to-back Conn Smythe trophies as playoff MVP, nor did he capture a Cup past the age of 27, while Crosby won his last two at 28 and 29.

CAVS’ COACH HAPPY WITH FEISTY TURN TO NBA FINAL JOSH DUBOW

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND — Seven technical fouls, one flagrant foul, stars LeBron James and Kevin Durant jawing at each other and several other dustups. For Cleveland coach Tyronn Lue, the physical turn the NBA Final took in Game 4 is just what he wanted and is the recipe he hopes the Cavaliers will follow for the rest of the series against the Golden State Warriors. Game 5 got underway on Monday night, after KTW’s press deadline. “Me personally, I liked it,’’ Lue said Sunday. “I thought the first

two games we were being too nice. The first three games, helping guys up off the floor, smiling, talking to guys and — yeah, I didn’t like that. So I think Game 4, talking trash, being physical, whatever you got to do to try to get that edge to win, you got to do it.’’ The Cavs look to carry that same mindset into Game 5, when they once again try to stave off elimination. After two straight Golden State blowouts to open the series and a thrilling comeback in Game 3, things turned feisty in Game 4 as the teams that are meeting in a third straight Finals showed some animosity.

James said the Cavs were upset about comments from Golden State’s Draymond Green about wanting to celebrate a title on Cleveland’s floor for the second time in three seasons. The game started off with an edge and things really took off in the third quarter. It started when Durant took exception to a blow to the head from Kevin Love that led to a flagrant foul and a faceto-face confrontation with James. It escalated late in the third after a scramble to the floor for a loose ball led to a jump ball. Cleveland’s Iman Shumpert stood over Pachulia and tried to grab the ball after the whistle. Pachulia then delivered two

swipes to Shumpert’s groin area, leading to technical fouls on both players. “It was totally between the lines and with the respect of the rules,’’ Pachulia said of the physical play. “Nothing has crossed the line. It’s emotional. It’s possibly the last game of the season, so you definitely don’t want to give up anything easy. We know it’s not going to be an easy game for us. We’re going to earn it.’’ The more physical play appeared to be just the thing to get Cavs power forward Tristan Thompson unleashed. A key player the past two years because of his relentless rebounding and

hard-nosed play, Thompson had been mostly invisible the first three games with just 11 rebounds. Thompson had 10 alone in Game 4, including four on the offensive end that gave Cleveland extra opportunities to score and prevented the Warriors from getting out in the break. “T-Lue has been saying that since Game 1, the team that has the starting lineup that comes out and sets the tone early and is more physical one through five will definitely have the advantage in the game,’’ Thompson said. “We did that Game 4 and we got to have that same type of effort and even more in Game 5.’’

Obituaries & In Memoriam Tee Backmeyer

Frederick James Atkinson August 4, 1942 –May 31, 2017

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Tee Backmeyer on Wednesday, June 7, 2017 in Grande Prairie, AB at the age of 88 years. Tee was born August 7, 1928 in Scott, SK. She was raised on rented rural farms in the area until her family purchased their own farm near Prince George, BC in 1944. Tee started her formal teacher training in Victoria, BC in 1947. After graduation, she taught in many schools across BC, ranging in size from a one room school with 23 students across grades 1-7 in Hixon, BC to a 13 classroom school in Prince George. A passion for travel took Tee and her husband Jerry on many adventures with family and friends throughout North America and around the world: honeymoon camping to the Grand Canyon, wilderness canoeing trips on the Spatsizi, Dease and Pelly River, a year of volunteer work in Kenya, vacations in Australia and Central America, not to mention the sunny beaches of Mexico, Costa Rica, Bali and Hawaii. Tee also had a creative streak that could be seen in her many sewing, knitting and crocheting projects. She also dabbled in painting, pottery and macramé, when she wanted to walk on the wild side. When arthritis slowed her fingers, she ramped up her creative mind and wrote many memory books and children’s stories for the family. Her memory will be cherished by her foster sister Joan Slater, sons Joe (Sandra), Rod, Don (Cathy) and Greg (Karen), fourteen grandchildren, twenty-nine great-grandchildren, as well as nieces, nephews and friends. She was predeceased by her loving husband of 62 years Jerry, her parents, five brothers and two sisters.

Brian is survived by his father Albert and brother Barry (Sonia). He was predeceased by his mother Laura in 1999.

He will be remembered and sadly missed by his son Bill Atkinson of Kamloops, daughter Colleen and grandson Harrison Atkinson of Regina, SK, sister Jill Mont (Rod) of Nanaimo, BC and long time friend and companion Gloria Goode and numerous nieces and nephews. During his lifetime Jim had several businesses, was an avid curler, golfer, played hockey and loved to fish and camp. No Service at Jim’s request.

A Funeral Mass will be held on Wednesday, June 14, 2017 at 11:00 am at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Grande Prairie (10404 102 St.).

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society in memory of Jim.

Condolences may be sent by visiting www.oliversfuneralhome.com

First Memorial Funeral Service

July 18, 1934 – May 27, 2017

Les is survived by his wife of 60 years Amanda (Bubbles Palmer), son Pat (Sherry), two daughters Marcia (Jim) and Andrea, three grandsons Tyler Bodnard, Alex MacDonald and Chris MacDonald, brother Harvey (Wilma) and many nephews, nieces and cousins. He was predeceased by his parents John and Beatrice Bodnard, sister Evelyn (Alois) and brother Stanley (Helen). Les was born in Watson, Saskatchewan and raised on the family farm at Englefeld. He worked on the farm until 1955 when he moved to Kamloops to work for the winter, but never returned to his home province. He met Bubbles when he was employed at Frolek Sawmills and they married in 1956. He was offered an apprenticeship at North Kamloops Motors in 1956, displaying a natural mechanical talent, having gained a lot of experience and knowledge fixing farm equipment on the Englefeld farm. Les worked for Bill McEwen until he purchased Sagebrush Services with Leo Van Tine in 1961. After Leo’s departure two years later, Les became the sole owner for the next 32 years, privately and then leasing the station to Shell Oil for ten years. In 1973 he bought a ranch in Rosebud, Alberta, where he expanded his stable up to 80 horses and continued with his focus on breeding, training and racing Quarter Horses. Returning to Kamloops and selling the Alberta ranch in 1980, Les continued dedicating his talents on breeding, breaking and training, running Quarter Horses for many years, winning many stakes races throughout

We are comforted to know he is now at peace. There will be no Funeral Service by request. In lieu of flowers, please contribute to the Ask Wellness Society or a charity of your choice. Condolences may be expressed to the family www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

Leslie Allan Bodnard

Brian was raised in Victoria, BC until 7 years of age then moved to Kamloops in 1971 for his school years. He was a popular guy, involved in hockey and other sports at a young age and enjoyed many summer vacations visiting cousins in California. He moved back to Victoria for a number of years working towards and obtaining his Journeyman Carpentry ticket. Brian then went on to many jobs taking his journey to many big cities and towns working construction and then slowing down back in Kamloops. Over the past few years Brian’s health and lifestyle prevented him from working.

Do you know someone that has been touched by Identity Theft? Many people are not aware that Identity Theft can occur even after death. It can be expensive and time consuming for the executor. Government agencies (CPP and OAS are cancelled) and credit reporting agencies (credit cards and loans) are notified to make sure nothing new is issued in the deceased’s name. Call us for more details.

BC, Alberta and the United States. Following the sale of the service station in 1995, he and Bubbles settled on a smaller acreage in Oliver, BC. In recognition of his achievements and contributions to the industry, Les won many awards from the American Quarter Horse Association, notably the World’s leading QH percentage trainer and leading Quarter Horse Trainer at numerous race meets throughout the Northwest. Les was inducted into the Northwest Quarter Horse Breeders Society Hall of Fame. Les also enjoyed doing his leatherwork, building all his own racing tack and thousands of halters for Select Horse Sales. Les also did many tack repairs for horsemen he knew. Les never lost his lifelong love of horses and horse racing and shared this passion with the many people he met throughout his life. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, June 17, 2017 at 2:00 pm in the Schoening Funeral Chapel. Should friends desire, donations to the Alzheimer’s Society of BC would be appreciated in his memory.

LORD BYRON

She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven trees, Or softly lightens o’er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling place. And on the cheek, and o’er that brow, So soft, so calm, so eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow; But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind of peace with all below,
