The investigation into Wednesday night’s blaze at Blackwell Dairy in Barnhartvale continues. Go online to kamloopsthisweek.com to see more photos.

Blackwell hopes to rebuild from ashes FIRE DESTROYED MILK-PROCESSING PLANT; 75 JOBS IMPACTED TIM PETRUCK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

No injuries were reported following an overnight blaze at Blackwell Dairy’s processing plant in Barnhartvale — a fire that saw flames shoot up to 50 feet in the air and left the family-owned dairy farm unable to bottle milk. The fire started just after 11 p.m. on Wednesday and emergency crews remained on scene well into Thursday morning. Ted Blackwell, operator of the farm, said he will be looking at options in the coming days to keep Blackwell Dairy milk on store shelves. “Decisions are hard to make in an instant,” he said. “But I think we’ll make the right ones. Hopefully, it allows us to start the cleanup damn quick.” Ryan Hunter, who oversees the farm at Blackwell Dairy and lives with his family on the property, said he’s not sure what started the fire. “A little after 11 o’clock last night we heard an explosion, heard banging,” he told KTW on Thursday morning. We looked out the window and saw what was happening.” Hunter said he initially tried to fight the fire with a garden hose, then a water truck.

Ted Blackwell speaks to reporters Thursday at the scene of the fire.

“It was really fast,” he said, estimating the height of the flames at between 40 and 50 feet. “It’s pretty overwhelming — just so fast. It’s one of those things that happens to other people. But it hits home really fast.” Blackwell, who lives in a home adjacent to the processing plant, became emotional while talking about the fire. He said he designed and built the plant in the early 1980s. Blackwell said he needed some alone time overnight while Kamloops Fire Rescue crews tended to the blaze. “There’s a few times when I had to go by myself,” he said, wiping a tear from his right cheek while staring at the charred remains of the

processing plant. “You don’t know why. You’re a strong person, but there’s little things that seem to take over that strength.” Blackwell said he hopes to be back up and running as soon as possible — but the process will likely take six months at a minimum. “This is major,” he said. “To rebuild a plant like this is going to be in the neighbourhood of $3.5 million.” Blackwell said finding a way to keep his milk on the shelves of 300 stores is going to be a challenge. “They are still part of the business,” he said, speculating about potentially having Blackwell Dairy milk processed at another facility temporarily. “You can’t let that go. The only thing I could think of last night was how long it’s going to take to be back in business.” Another issue, Blackwell said, will be keeping his farm’s 75 employees busy. “We’ll see if we can give them some work on the farm,” he said. “Some of your best employees, they’re a big part of your business. There’s work here and we’ll do our best to keep them going.” A sleep-deprived Hunter was looking at the bright side on Thursday morning. “The cows and the people are all safe,” he said. “We can rebuild everything else.”

LOCAL NEWS Jason Charles Gourlay was arrested by Mounties on March 3, 2017, and charged with failing to stop at an accident scene and possession of heroin, the latter charge stemming from drugs allegedly found in his Dufferin home. Gourlay was released on bail a week after his arrest, with orders to enter a drug-rehab centre in Nanaimo. On April 18, he was arrested in Nanaimo and brought back to jail. This week, he was charged with tampering with evidence.

Accused in fatal hit and run faces new charge TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Prosecutors have laid a new charge against the Kamloops man accused of killing a teenager in a hit-and-run crash last year, accusing him of tampering with evidence. Jason Gourlay appeared briefly in Kamloops provincial court on Thursday. He had been charged with failure to remain at the scene of an accident and possession of heroin and fentanyl. On Wednesday, the Crown laid a new indictment against Gourlay, including one count of obstruction of justice alleging he “did wilfully attempt to obstruct, pervert or defeat the course of justice by tampering with or

An alleged Kamloops gangster on trial for a raft of firearms and property-related charges stemming from a series of high-profile police raids more than three years ago won’t know his fate until August at the earliest. Jason Robertson is standing trial in B.C. Supreme Court this week, facing 10 charges relating to stolen firearms and other property found by police during searches of three homes over two days in May 2014. The 38-year-old’s trial began on Monday, when eight charges against his wife, Sarah, were dismissed by B.C. Supreme Court Justice Jeanne Watchuk. Robertson’s trial is expected to conclude on Friday, but Watchuk told lawyers on Thursday the plan will likely be to return to court for three days in August or

Here are a few tips: 1. check your mirrors frequently;

within days of Gatey’s death, but Gourlay, 41, wasn’t arrested until March 3 of this year following a police raid of his Dufferin home. He was released on $20,000 cash bail a week after his arrest on conditions he enter a treatment facility in Nanaimo and, upon release, live with an uncle in Maple Ridge. But Gourlay was taken back into custody in April after allegedly breaching conditions of his release. In court on Thursday, defence lawyer Jeremy Jensen waived Gourlay’s right to a preliminary inquiry and elected trial by judge alone in B.C. Supreme Court. Gourlay is set to make his first appearance in B.C. Supreme Court on June 26 to fix a date for trial.

DECISION WEEKS AWAY September for closing arguments and a decision. Over two days in May 2014, Kamloops Mounties raided three homes — one each in Sahali, Westsyde and Batchelor Heights — owned by 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 support stickers were visible on some of the items at the press conference. Court has heard more than $50,000 in cash was seized from the Sahali home — the house alleged to have been the Roberstons’ primary residence. Crown prosecutor Evan Goulet has called an RCMP expert witness in an attempt to prove Robertson was a drug dealer,

though he is not charged with any drug-related offences. During proceedings in 2016, when defence lawyers challenged the methods used by police during their raid of the Sahali home, surveillance footage played in court 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.”

City prepares for meetings on Ajax ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The proposed Ajax copper and gold mine is back in the spotlight next week as Kamloops city council embarks on a series of meetings that will lead to an official stance on the project. While the city has no say in whether the mine is ultimately approved by the provincial and federal governments, its opinion will be considered when senior governments make their decision. At a town hall meeting at the Kamloops Coast Hotel and Conference Centre (1250 Rogers Way in Aberdeen) this Monday from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., the city will hear SLR Consulting and Interior Health medical health officer Dr. Kamran Golmohammadi give their views on KGHMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s application for an environmental permit for its proposed open-pit copper and gold mine. A public question-andanswer session will follow the presentations. SLRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report â&#x20AC;&#x201D; released earlier this week and available online at www.kamloopsthisweek.com/ slrajaxreview â&#x20AC;&#x201D; states there are benefits for Kamloops from an approved project, but questions remain unanswered on the mineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effect on air quality, property values and other factors. Following Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting, council will meet again at 9 a.m. on Thursday, June 22, in council chambers to ask more questions of SLR.

Stk#: 45947

DEPUTY MAYOR ARJUN SINGH

A final debate on the mine will come on July 17, though with Mayor Peter Milobar now sitting as an MLA in the legislature and councillors Ken Christian and Marg Spina officially leaving council on June 30 (to campaign for mayor in a byelection and to continue cancer treatments, respectively), the outcome is unlikely to be surprising. By the time the Ajax debate begins, councillors opposed to the mine will outweigh by a margin of 4-2 those who say they are still making up their mind on the project. Councillors Donovan Cavers, Dieter Dudy, Tina Lange and Denis Walsh are opposed to Ajax, while Coun. Pat Wallace and Deputy Mayor Arjun Singh have yet to state a position. Singh said there is still value in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debate, even if the results are most likely already set. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although we have a bench on council right now that looks like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll vote to send a comment not supporting the proposal, we also want to have a statement in

there about, if it does get a certificate, here are the conditions we want to see happen,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because even if we say no, it could get a permit.â&#x20AC;? Singh said the debate will need to look at how to protect the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interests in the event of an approval from the provincial and federal governments. Both Ottawa and Victoria must approve the application for Ajax to proceed. If one of the two levels of government rejects the bid, the mine will not begin operations. SLRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report includes conditions such as the creation of an independent monitor for the mine and a number of monitoring and mitigation plans and groups that would include city membership. Singh said he also sees the process as valuable for the community, allowing residents to have more information to come to a conclusion about the mine. For Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s town hall meeting, he urged members of the public to come with open minds and a desire to learn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These Ajax open houses can sometimes be challenging for folks who are undecided because they feel intimidated by people who are either con or pro â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not everybody, but that does happen,â&#x20AC;? Singh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So we want to make sure people have a safe environment and no one feels intimidated to ask questions around the report.â&#x20AC;?

The association representing ranchers in B.C. is applauding the federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s swift reversal on a plan to axe a fish habitat restoration program. Last month, the Trudeau government said it would eliminate the Department of Fisheries and Oceansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (DFO) resource restoration programs in the province, a move criticized by conservationists, First Nations and ranchers. Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod came out against the cuts. On Thursday, she learned, during a committee meeting in the House of Commons, the government would seek savings elsewhere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They announced theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d restore all the programs,â&#x20AC;? McLeod told KTW. While the MP applauded the move, she called its quiet announcement and reversal a month later â&#x20AC;&#x153;very bizarre.â&#x20AC;? The B.C. Cattlemenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association was among groups critical of the move. The program provides

education in schools, hatchery enhancement and work on the ground in stream restoration on private lands. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen a decision reversed so quickly in all my life,â&#x20AC;? association general manager Kevin Boon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They must have realized its importance.â&#x20AC;? The program sees planning and other resources made available to ranchers for stream restoration on their lands. Boon said it is critical in helping fish habitat and to preserve land after flood events, for example. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For all the years for it to be cancelled, this would be the worst,â&#x20AC;? said Boon, referring to flood waters in a number of small streams in the Interior this spring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fix this damage overnight â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it will be years.â&#x20AC;? McLeod said the announcement by Terry Beech, parliamentary secretary for the DFO, was accompanied by a vow to find saving elsewhere within the ministry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That leaves an unanswered question in terms of what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do with other changes,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Golf Tip for the Week By Lindsay MacDermott Teaching Professional

KNOCK IT DOWN Golf in Kamloops is known for windy conditions. Playing in the wind is always a difficult task, especially if you tend to have a slice. While a downwind shot can add some welcome distance, you will likely need to make an adjustment if you’re playing into the wind. A knockdown shot will keep your ball flight lower and help prevent that balloon shot which gets caught up in the wind. Start by playing the ball just a little further back in your stance and set your weight slightly toward the target. Make sure your hands are ahead of the ball. Next, take an extra club (or more if needed!) and choke down slightly. The key is to swing a littler easier and smoother than normal, not harder. This reduces the amount of spin on the ball, minimizes a slice and ultimately lets the ball penetrate through the wind better. If you try swing too hard, more spin will be created and the wind will really take it! Plan for the wind by taking extra club and swinging smoothly to knock it down rather than just trying to swing harder. KTW FILE PHOTO

Conservation officers are dealing with about 10 to 12 problem bears so far this year, which is above average.

Garbage pointed to as culprit in bear deaths CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Conservation officers destroyed two brazen and garbageaddicted juvenile bears in Juniper Ridge earlier this month — and two others in Aberdeen face the same fate. Kevin Van Damme, a conservation officer with the Ministry of Environment, said two fellow officers were dealing with a pair of problem bears in Aberdeen Thursday morning. Those roaming bears resulted in children being called in at lunch at Aberdeen elementary one day this week. In Juniper Ridge, one of the young bears broke into a house through a window. “Those two young bears were active all day long in and around yards,” Van Damme said. “During garbage day, they’d do down the street and tip over cans. They were actively seeking for garbage.” Van Damme believes both the Juniper Ridge bears and those in Aberdeen went into hibernation last fall already trained to seek out garbage and habituated to people and dogs. Traps were not effective in luring the

bears, he said. The pair in Juniper Ridge was tranquilized and moved outside to the bush, where they were killed. While the city has a WildsafeBC program and fines for residents who leave out garbage cans overnight, Van Damme said it only takes one scofflaw to create a problem. Some residents also don’t have a shed or garage in which to lock

up cans. Research has been done on ways to lock city garbage bins. “There’s a plan in the works,” Van Damme said. “It’s not easy because there’s a big infrastructure change.” Van Damme said local conservation officers have destroyed three problem bears this year. In the 1990s, the problem peaked when about 50 bears a year

“It’s just what I needed to hear.” Hearing aids have revolutionized life at home and work for photographer Annie Johnston. I first noticed that something was wrong with my hearing two or three years before I did anything about it. When I started having trouble picking up conversations in crowded rooms, I noticed myself leaning in to hear certain words and even tried doing a bit of lip reading. But I kept putting off having a hearing test. I was busy working as a beauty, hair and lifestyle photographer for various hairdressers. My youngest child was only four and there was never enough time in the day. Maybe there was also the stigma of admitting I was getting old.

After visiting Miracle-Ear for the first time, I discovered that Miracle-Ear’s equipment was a lot more advanced, the devices were far less visible and the information they gave to me was more in-depth than I thought it would be. I learned from the results of my hearing test that I had actually missed 40 percent of the conversation. When my new Miracle-Ear hearing aids were first turned on, I was elated because I realized how much I had been missing. They have two automatic settings – forward-facing or from all directions – depending on how much amplification I need. After experiencing the difference my hearing aids make, I would never want to go back. In fact, I get anxious if I think I’m not wearing them, and mine are so light that I do sometimes forget I’ve even got them in.

THE HOT AND NOT OF THE WEEK Kamloops This Week looks at the stories of the week — the good, the bad and all in-between:

HOT: The City of Kamloops’ decision to branch out and add some entertainment to its Tournament Capital reputation. News this week that a major buskers’ festival is relocating to Kamloops is welcome. The Victoria International Buskers Festival will be moving to this burgh in 2018. The family festival had been held in downtown Victoria for six years, but this year’s event, which was scheduled to take place over 10 days in July, was cancelled. Sean Smith, Kamloops’ Tournament Capital and special events supervisor, said it is an example of the city’s desire to broaden the number and types of events available locally. Kudos to the coup.

OUR

VIEW

NOT: The latest news to arise from Jason Gourlay’s court proceedings. The Dufferin man charged in connection to last fall’s fatal hit and run in Aberdeen that claimed the life of teenager Jennifer Gatey has had another charge added to his file. Gourlay is now accused of tampering with evidence in connection to the investigation. Here’s hoping the trial, a date for which will be set later this month, finally brings light to this case. HOT: Fishing with your father (and mother and brother and sister and friend). Sunday is Father’s Day and a free fishing event will be held under what promises to be sunny skies and warm temperatures. Head to Walloper Lake south of Kamloops for the family fishing day, where members of the Kamloops Fish and Game Club will provide all you need to learn how to catch a rainbow trout.

ad Donovan Cavers been elected MLA for Kamloops-South Thompson in the May 9 provincial election, there may have been no debate over the cost of a civic byelection — because, had Cavers been elected and followed through on a promise, there would have been no cost to stage the vote. When announcing his bid for the Green nomination (which he secured by acclamation), Cavers vowed to cover the cost of a civic byelection if he was to succeed at the provincial level. Elect me, the city councillor said, and I will spare taxpayers the $125,000 cost of filling any seats around that horseshoe down at city hall. Cavers’ pledge was a direct reference to Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar, who was running for the B.C. Liberals in KamloopsNorth Thompson. When asked if he would cover the expense of a byelection if he was to be elected, Milobar said no, arguing byelections are a necessary cost of the democratic process. It was noted Dan Ashton, former mayor of Penticton, cut the city of 33,000 people a $32,000 cheque to cover the costs of a byelection after he was elected MLA in 2013. “I think it’s a slippery slope to go down,” Milobar told KTW in September 2016. “You have different sizes of cities and you’d be essentially saying to people wanting to seek other offices, unless you have significant personal wealth, you’re precluded from doing something,” he said. Fair point. I don’t know many people not named Nigel Wright who have an extra $125,000 in walking around money to use as

MUSINGS discretionary spending in political situations. Milobar said running for MLA while he was still in the midst of a four-year term as mayor was “not something I willfully put myself in a position to do. That’s just how the election cycles line up.” He was referring to the resignation of B.C. Liberal MLA Terry Lake, which had been expected for at least six months before Lake finally announced his retirement just after Labour Day last year. Milobar is correct on his election-cycle point and there is merit to the argument put forth by the B.C. Taxpayers’ Federation that the municipal and provincial elections be held in the same year, if not the same day. In any event, voters are left funding the pending byelection because Milobar was elected MLA and Cavers was not. We will have a byelection in late September to fill the mayor’s chair and two councillor seats because Milobar and councillors Marg Spina and Ken Christian will resign from council on June 30 — Spina for health reasons, Milobar to carry on his MLA duties and Christian to run for the vacant mayor’s position.

But that has not ended the taxpayer dollar debate. This week, one of Christian’s opponents for the mayor’s office vowed to forego the $100,000 salary for the year between the September 2017 byelection and the October 2018 general civic election. Cindy Ross Friedman said that, if elected, she will serve without pay for the final year of this term. Rather than consider it working for free, Ross Friedman told me she sees it as volunteering for a year, during which time voters can evaluate her performance and decide whether to return her to the office (with pay) in 2018. So, if Ross Friedman was to become Milobar’s successor in the mayor’s office and followed through on the vow of political poverty, the byelection would cost taxpayers about $25,000 — or about the cost of one-and-a-half of those weird British-made bike ports we see downtown and on the North Shore. I told Ross Friedman her idea may resonate with some costconscious voters, but added she might get more traction if she was to accept the $100,000 mayor’s salary and donate it to a charity. There are many from which to choose — the KTW Christmas Cheer Fund comes to mind, as does Fouldsy’s Friday Wine Fund — and such an altruistic action may even spur Christian and fellow mayoral candidate Reo Rocheleau to do likewise. Not paying it forward just may catch on as a political movement.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

KUDOS TO HARD-WORKING CITY EMPLOYEE Editor: I would like to commend Dave Harvey, a public works department employee with the City of Kamloops. After a number of calls to the city regarding a water issue we were having in our strata complex — calls that were mostly answered with very little enthusiasm, by the way — we

eventually had Harvey come check out our concerns. He is by far an excellent representative for any city department as he did everything he could to solve our water issue and left nothing to chance. He communicated with us on a regular basis to keep us informed as to the

progress of his efforts. During all of this, Harvey discovered a blocked sewer outlet, played fireman while rescuing a cat from a roof top and finally determined the problem behind our water issue. Hardy Spitman Kamloops

DESPITE CLOSURE, ART MOVEMENT AFOOT IN CITY Editor: Re: (‘Hampton Gallery to close at month’s end,’ June 6): Let’s share the good vibes about how the Kamloops art scene is a fertile landscape that springs out of cafes, tap houses and artist-run centres. Let’s celebrate how local artists can promote through these venues, through their own websites and through movements such as

Culture Days. When I see more people creating art and art being used as a social vehicle to save the lives of those in need, I see a great city harnessing the power of the arts. Let’s congratulate the Hampton Gallery for its years of business while embracing the expansive artistic movement afoot in our beautiful city. Daniela O’Fee Kamloops

The Hampton Gallery, the city’s lone fine arts gallery, is closing at the end of June after 23 years.

Assessing the city’s payroll ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The City of Kamloops paid its employees less in 2016 than it did in 2015, according to a Statement of Financial Information from city hall. But it’s the calendar that takes most of the credit for shrinking payroll numbers, according to financial services manager Lewis Hill. Hill said a greater than usual number of pay periods in 2015 temporarily inflated the city’s remuneration numbers, as well as the number of employees making more than $75,000 — the point at which salaries become a matter of public record. That year also saw the city make retroactive payments to its firefighters, something not required in 2016.

Overall, the city paid its employees $58.6 million in 2016, down from $60.6 million in 2015, though an increase from the $56.3 million it paid in 2014 — a year with a typical number of pay periods, which serves as a better comparison to 2016. By that comparison, the city has seen the number of firefighters and Kamloops Fire Rescue staff and city managers making $75,000 or more grow only slightly — from 121 firefighters in 2014 to 122 in 2016, and from 78 managers in 2014 to 79 managers in 2016. The number is more dramatic for CUPE members, with 83 employees earning $75,000 or more in 2016, compared to 57 employees two years earlier. Ten city managers and excluded staff joined the $100,000 club, with 44 manag-

ers now making that sum or above, compared to 34 managers in 2014. Meanwhile, the number of firefighters making $100,000 dropped slightly, from 48 to 47. Only one CUPE staff member is reported to make more than $100,000 — Ian Price, a water and wastewater operator who was fired from the city for his role in a 2014 sewage spill into the South Thompson River. An arbitrator later determined Price should not have been fired, but disciplined. The report shows Price received $138,000 in remuneration in 2016. No CUPE employees cracked the $100,000 ceiling in 2014. Silver & Gold The number of staff at the city is down slightly from last year, with 1,068 employees compared to 1,087 in 2015.

TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A transgender prisoner who alleges B.C. prison officials acted in a discriminatory way based on her gender identity will be allowed to continue her human-rights complaint against the province. Jaris Lovado filed a complaint last year against the province of B.C., alleging corrections branch staff treated her unfairly. On July 20, 2015, Lovado was admitted to Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre on a number of breach and property-related charges. According to prison staff — and the facility’s records — Lovado identified as male upon arrival. Lovado, however, has maintained she has identified as female since 2013. Ten days after entering KRCC, Lovado pleaded guilty in Kamloops provincial court and, within a week, she was transferred to a provincial women’s prison in Maple Ridge. Lovado was released from prison on Feb. 5, 2016, and placed on probation. “Corrections branch says that, upon release, Ms. Lovado asked to be identified as a male, declined to wear a wig, prosthetic breasts or female clothing,” reads a B.C. Human Rights Tribunal document.

masculine pronouns throughout.” According to B.C. corrections policy, trans inmates are afforded the opportunity to decide the gender of the officer who frisks or strip searches them. Lovado filed a complaint and a special request asking to have Surrey Pretrial corrections officers address her using female pronouns, as well as seeking a “female diet,” women’s underwear and makeup available to prisoners at Alouette. On May 6, 2016, a prison official advised Lovado she would be addressed by her last name and that a “female diet” was not possible. Three weeks later, Lovado received a letter saying she had been denied a transfer to Alouette based, in part, on her “display of male persona while in custody.” Lovado filed her complaint with the tribunal on June 20, 2016. Following a series of letters back and forth, she was transferred to Alouette on Sept. 20, 2016. Lovado was released from custody at Alouette on Dec. 8, 2016. She was arrested a short time later and taken directly to Alouette. B.C. corrections branch staff asked the tribunal to toss Lovado’s complaint, but tribunal member Emily Ohler declined. Lovado’s complaint remains before the tribunal.

The women’s prison she had been in prior to her release in February, Alouette Centre, declined to take her. “Alouette Centre declined based on information it had received from community corrections that Ms. Lovado had been living in the community as a male,” the document reads.

The emails also show Lovado was refusing to be searched by a male officer. “The deputy warden says in that email that he attended the change room and ‘explained that as he [sic] had all the ‘equipment’ of a male that he [sic] would need to be frisked by a male,’” the document reads. “The deputy warden says in the email that during Ms. Lovado’s most recent stay at Alouette Centre, she was only skin frisked by males; however, since she refused to be skin frisked, she was put in single cell segregation.

Former NHLer faces charge TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A former National Hockey League enforcer who is wanted on a warrant after missing a court date earlier this month is facing a new charge. Rudy Poeschek has been on the lam since no-showing in Kamloops provincial court on June 2 for what would have been his trial on an allegation he breached his probation. A warrant for his arrest was issued and he has since been charged with one count of failing to appear in court. The 50-year-old has previously told KTW his memory is failing him. He said he simply forgot to go to a meeting with his probation officer last summer and said he almost missed a court date in November for the same reason. Poeschek is one of a number of former NHL players suing the league, alleging officials knew of the dan-

gers posed by repeated head injuries and concussions. In a series published in KTW in 2015, a Boston-based neurosurgeon suggested Poeschek may be suffering from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a chronic brain disease found to have affected many former hockey and football players. Robert Cantu described the symptoms of CTE as being similar to those of Alzheimer’s, and said the condition is caused by “rattling your brain around in your head — a lot.”

In the 2015 KTW series, Poeschek said he is considering donating his brain to science after his death — something that is being done by an increasing number of dying former professional athletes. Poeschek was an enforcer in the NHL over parts of 12 seasons. He was selected by the New York Rangers in the 12th round of the 1985 NHL Entry Draft while playing junior hockey in his hometown of Kamloops. After a playing career that ended in 2001, Poeschek was

BC POTHOLE REPAIRS

arrested eight times while living in Tampa, Fla., culminating in a March 13, 2005, demolition derby that landed him behind bars. He moved with his family to Kamloops after his release from a Florida jail. Poeschek was on probation last summer as part of a sentence he received after pleading guilty to a string of criminal charges — one count of assault and three of driving while prohibited — in 2015. He was jailed for 45 days and placed on an 18-month probation term.

‘Only fair’: McKenna on excluding Saskatchewan, Manitoba from carbon fund MIA RABSON

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Manitoba and Saskatchewan have been given until the end of December to sign on to the federal government’s national climate change agreement to avoid losing out on millions of dollars to help cut emissions. Environment Minister Catherine McKenna unveiled details Thursday of the Trudeau government’s promised $2-billion Low Carbon Economy Fund, to be spent in two streams over the next five years. The first is a $600-million Low Carbon Economy Challenge for industry and public sector projects, to be launched this fall and doled out on a merit-based, project-by-project basis. Municipalities, provinces, territories, indigenous governments and organizations, businesses and not-for-profit organizations can all apply for funds, which will be prioritized for projects that provide the biggest emissions reductions for the lowest cost. The second is a $1.4-billion Low Carbon Economy Leadership Fund per capita fund for provinces and territories that have signed on to the Pan Canadian

Framework on Clean Growth and Climate Change. Each eligible province will receive a base of $30 million plus a per-capita share of up to $1 billion. Manitoba and Saskatchewan, the only two provinces that have not signed on, have been told they will only get their share of the funding if they sign up by the end of the year. If not, their shares — about $66 million for Manitoba and $62 million for Saskatchewan — will be transferred to the challenge fund. Those provinces can apply for funding under the challenge fund regardless of whether they join the framework. McKenna said “it’s only fair’’ that the provinces that stepped up to help Canada meet its international commitments to reduce emissions get to share in the fund. “We’re certainly working very hard with Saskatchewan and Manitoba and are very hopeful that they’ll sign up to the pan-Canadian plan on climate change,’’ McKenna said. “But let’s be clear, all provinces and territories agreed in the Vancouver declaration with the prime minister that we needed to have a credible plan with serious actions that would meet our international obligations.

“The pan-Canadian framework on climate change represents that plan and we will be supporting provinces and territories that have signed up for the plan.’’ Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall, however, called the plan “extortion.” “Withholding funds from provinces that don’t go along with the federal government’s policies represents a new low in Canadian federalism,’’ Wall said in a Facebook post. “Justin Trudeau promised a new era of co-operative federalism. This is new, all right. It is, by an order of magnitude, more punitive, petty and heavy-handed than anything Stephen Harper ever did.” Wall has already threatened to sue Ottawa if it imposes a carbon tax on his province, as it has promised to do by spring 2018 if Saskatchewan doesn’t put a plan in place. All the provinces on board with the framework have agreed to impose a carbon price of $10 per tonne by 2018, rising to $50 per tonne by 2022. The low carbon fund was first created in the 2016 federal budget to help provinces fund initiatives to significantly cut greenhouse gases, part of Canada’s race to meet its targets under the Paris climate

change accord. Canada must cut almost 200 million tonnes of emissions by 2030 to meet its target of reducing greenhouse gases to 30 per cent below 2005 levels — equivalent to taking more than twice as many cars off Canada’s roads as are even in the country. The fund was initially to be a two-year program, with $2 billion equally divided between 2017-2018 and 2018-2019, until it became clear early in the negotiations the provinces and territories needed more time to find the best uses for the money. The money was reprofiled over five years in this year’s budget, starting with $250 million in 2017-2018. There will be $500 million available in each of the next three years and the final $250 million in 2021-2022. The federal government wants the funds spent on projects that significantly reduce emissions, prioritizing those that reduce the most emissions most cheaply. Initiatives must also be in addition to existing projects or those that are already planned. McKenna said her department is negotiating with the provinces in the framework this summer to work out agreements on how the funds can be spent.

Alleged Calgary voyeur granted bail CALGARY — A Calgary man accused of filming women without their knowledge and posting their images to a Twitter account called “Canada Creep” has been granted bail. James Robert Williamson, who is 42, is charged with voyeurism and publication of voyeuristic recordings. Police allege Williamson has been posting photos and videos — some shot up the skirts of unsuspecting women — for at least five years. His bail conditions include that he stay away from Calgary’s downtown except for court appearances or unless he has written permission. Williamson is also banned from devices capable

of texting, taking photos or gaining access to the Internet. His next appearance is set for July 24. Police have said they received a complaint about the posts earlier this week and investigators identified a suspect thanks to a public tip. They say there are likely to be more charges as officers sift through hundreds of thousands of images on numerous electronic devices that were seized. “It could take weeks, if not months to go through it,” Staff Sgt. Cory Dayley said Wednesday. — The Canadian Press

Lawyer: Schoenborn doesn’t meet high risk designation THE CANADIAN PRESS

NEW WESTMINSTER — A man found not responsible for killing his three children is being properly managed, his psychosis is under control and he doesn’t fit the definition of a high-risk accused, his lawyer said Thursday. Rishi Gill told a British Columbia Supreme Court judge that Allan Schoenborn, 49, still has a long way to go in his mentalhealth treatment and is dealing with serious anger issues, but that doesn’t put him in the high-risk category. “There is nothing in the anger situation that takes him out of the regular stream. It’s

ALLAN SCHOENBORN: Designation would bar him from escorted outings

the psychosis risk that puts him into the highrisk. And that psychosis is under control,” Gill said. “The proof is in the pudding. What happens when his behaviour deteriorates, even under mental-health criteria? He is managed properly within that scheme.” In 2010, a judge found Schoenborn not criminally responsible

because of a mental disorder for stabbing his daughter and smothering his two sons, aged five to 10, at the family’s home in Merritt in April 2008. The trial heard that Schoenborn was experiencing psychosis at the time of the killings and thought he was saving his children from sexual and physical abuse, though no evidence suggested this was the case. Gill said he does not intend to dispute the “brutal nature” of his client’s offences. A high-risk designation would bar Schoenborn from receiving escorted outings into the community as part of his treatment and would extend

the time between his review board hearings from one to three years. Crown prosecutor Wendy Dawson told the court on Thursday that Schoenborn’s lengthy history of violence and the likelihood his psychosis will relapse means he poses an unacceptable risk to public safety and he warrants the high-risk label. “His anger management continues and [he] appears resistant to change,” Dawson added. “It truly appears an intractable condition.’’ Schoenborn has been at the Forensic Psychiatric Hospital in Coquitlam, B.C., since being found not criminally responsible of killing his children.

Wireless changes coming OTTAWA — Cellphone companies will soon no longer be allowed to charge customers to unlock their devices, Canada’s telecom regulator said Thursday as it unveiled sweeping changes to the wireless code of conduct. The new code from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission also says as of Dec. 1, all newly purchased devices must be sold unlocked — one of several other changes aimed at giving people more control over their services. The updated code, which originally came into effect in 2013, now stipulates: • Unsatisfied customers will be able to cancel contracts within 15 days, as long as returned devices are in near-new condition and customers haven’t used more than half of their monthly usage. • Only the wireless account holder on family or shared plans can consent to overage and roaming charges, unless others on the plan are expressly authorized to approve the costs. • Data caps be tied to single accounts,

no matter how many devices are listed on a shared plan. • Wireless service providers cannot unilaterally change the key terms of a contract with a customer for voice, text or data services. The changes come six months after the regulator heard from consumer groups

A15

who accused some cellphone companies of violating the code, either passively or actively, and called for the rules to be tightened and enforced. “The changes and clarifications we are announcing today will give Canadians additional tools to make informed choices about

their wireless services and take advantage of competitive offers in the marketplace,” CRTC chairman JeanPierre Blais said in a statement.“While they appreciate the code, [Canadians] told us loudly and clearly that it could be more effective.” — The Canadian Press

CRISIS IS A BIT LIKE A TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT

TRAINING CAMP HOST CITY:

PRESENTING PARTNER OF FANFEST:

ublic-spirited businessman Moutaz al-Hayat is flying 4,000 cows into Qatar from the United States and Australia to boost milk supply in his country, which is being blockaded by most of its Arab neighbours in the Gulf. It will take 60 flights, and is definitely not cost-effective. But that may not be his biggest problem. Ninety-nine percent of Qatar is open desert and most of the very limited grazing areas for cattle are already fully occupied. Is al-Hayat also going to airlift in the fodder for his 4,000 cows? There are many ridiculous aspects to the current crisis over Qatar — but it does have a serious side, too. Compared to the real wars (Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Libya) currently raging in the Arab world, Qatar’s crisis is a bit like a tempest in a teapot. The country is tiny, but rich, and nobody is getting killed there — yet. But there is a blockade, refugees and troop movements, and it is not inconceivable that the gas-rich Gulf state might get invaded and its government overthrown. On June 5, all of Qatar’s Arab neighbours in the Gulf withdrew their ambassadors from Doha, Qatar’s gleaming capital. They also cut all land, sea and air communications with the country. Roads were blocked and flights were banned, which

World

WATCH is pretty serious for a country of 2.7-million people (only a quartermillion of them actual Arab citizens of Qatar) that produces almost nothing except abundant natural gas. Qatari citizens visiting or living in Saudi Arabia, Bahrein, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt were ordered to leave within 14 days. Qatar Airways lost its landing and overflight rights in those countries, necessitating extensive detours, and the Qatar-owned Al Jazeera television service was blocked. It is a real blockade because 40 per cent of Qatar’s food comes in across its one land border, with Saudi Arabia, and that is now closed. The “refugees” are better dressed and educated than the normal ones, but the ban on Qataris living in the hostile countries and citizens of those countries living in Qatar is already uprooting people and breaking up families. As for military movements, there have been no reports of Saudi Arabian troops moving toward the Qatari border, as they did before they rolled across the causeway into Bahrain in 2011, but speculation is

rife they might. The Saudis would love to replace the current Qatari ruler, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, with some member of the royal family who would toe the Saudi line. And since intrafamily coups have become a bit of a tradition in Qatar, the sheikh couldn’t complain if other family members decided he had become a liability and opted for a Saudibacked coup. This is a pretty low-key crisis at the moment, but it could turn much nastier — and there are two further complicating factors. One is that Qatar hosts the biggest U.S. military base in the Middle East; there are 10,000 American troops in the country. The other is that there is also a Turkish military base in Qatar. The Turkish-Qatari agreement was signed two years ago and there are only about 100 Turkish soldiers on the base, but it will accommodate 5,000 eventually. Turkey could fly the rest in very quickly if it chose to, and it just might do that if the crisis worsens. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has backed Qatar from the start. Does this mean Turkey could end up fighting Saudi Arabia in defence of Qatar? It sounds farfetched, but things have become so violent and complex in the region that people and countries no longer just stab each other in the back. They are also stabbing each other in the front, the sides and

the unmentionables. Turkey and Qatar are both close U.S. allies, but they support the same Sunni extremists in the Syrian civil war and have lavished money and arms on some groups that both the United States and Saudi Arabia see as terrorists (ISIS, the Nusra Front, etc.). Saudi Arabia, like most of the Sunniruled Gulf states, used to support the same extremists. It doesn’t any more — or not all of them, anyway— and says it is blockading Qatar because that country still gives money to the “terrorists.” Whether that is true is debatable, but the Saudi Arabians managed to convince U.S. President Donald Trump that it was true during his recent visit to Riyadh, so Trump encouraged this blockade. Indeed, he takes credit for it. “During my recent trip to the Middle East, I stated that there can no longer be funding of radical ideology,” he said. “They said they would take a hard line on funding extremism and all reference was pointing to Qatar. “Perhaps this will be the beginning of the end to horror of terrorism.” And they have just founded a World Center for Countering Extremist Thought in Riyadh. You couldn’t make this stuff up. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries. His website is at gwynnedyer.com.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — A deal between the United States and Qatar for F-15 fighter jets and a visit by two American warships to Doha are showing the vital military links Washington maintains to the country now at the centre of a dispute with Arab nations. Qatar has signed what it described as a $12-billion deal for the fighter jets. In November, the U.S. military announced a similar fighter jet deal for $21.1 billion. It’s unclear if they are the same deal. Meanwhile, Cmdr. Bill Urban of the U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet told the Associated Press that the USS Chinook, a coastal patrol ship, and U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Baranof both were in Doha for “a routine port visit’’ on Thursday. Qatar is home to 10,000 American troops and a major U.S. military base. — Associated Press

SPORTS GOALKEEPER CRACKS TEAM B.C. FOR NAIG ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

iaran McMahon can still remember the day Kelly Kosolofski decided she was going to be a goalkeeper. “When Kelly decided she really liked the goalkeeper position, I think that was going into U12, I remember seeing her showing up at the field in her brand-new gloves,” said McMahon, the Kamloops Youth Soccer Association’s (KYSA) technical director. “I made a comment about them and her mom said, ‘She slept in them last night.’ “So she’s very dedicated to that position. Kelly is a hard worker. She’s an aggressive and assertive player.” Kosolofski has come a long way since that day with her new gloves a few years ago and it turns out she made the right choice with the switch.

Now a 14-year-old Grade 8 student at Brocklehurst middle school, she will be representing Team B.C. at the 2017 North American Indigenous Games (NAIG) in Toronto next month, what is expected to be the largest sporting and cultural gathering of Indigenous Peoples in North America. “It feels almost like it’s not real,” said Kosolofski, who will also be representing her home nation, the Haida people of Haida Gwaii, in Toronto. The Games are a 14-event multi-sport spectacle bringing more than 5,000 athletes and 2,000 volunteers to Toronto from July 16 to July 23. “It’s really exciting. There’s some pressure because I want to do well,” she continued. “I just try to zone into the game and block out all the sidelines and all of the other stuff, just try to focus.” Kosolofski very nearly didn’t have the opportunity to travel to Toronto. In order to qualify for the Games, teams competed in the 2016 B.C. Aboriginal Provincial Soccer

Championships in Prince George, with the top team in each division advancing to NAIG 2017. Kosolofski, just 13 at the time of the September 2016 provincial, helped backstop an under-18 team to a thirdplace finish, but it was well short of the gold medal they needed to head east. Then she got a call — B.C.’s U16 team for the championship needed a keeper and they wanted her to try out. “It was really nerve-racking because I didn’t know if I was going to get picked — some of the other goalies were really good,” she said. “I didn’t know how it was going to turn out.” Just barely into her teenage years, Kosolofski was the best keeper at the tryouts. She was going to the Games. “I think it’s going to be tough, but we’re a good team, so I think we’ll do well,” she said. Kosolofski has long been known as an elite keeper in the Kamloops region. She plays on the U14 select team

in the KYSA and trains with the Whitecaps Academy in Kamloops. She has been called up for stints with the Thompson Okanagan Football Club and has often played above her age group. What Kosolofski lacks in height — she stands a little more than 5-foot-4 — she makes up for in agility and aggressiveness, focus. She’ll be a key piece for Team B.C. when they make the trip to Toronto next month. “She’s quite athletic and she controls the backline, she’s quite vocal,” McMahon said. “She interacts and works with the players around her in a very positive way that helps minimize opportunities on goal. With her at the back of the net, you know you’re starting with absolute strength. “She’s competing with older athletes, more competitive athletes, and she’s holding her own. That speaks volumes of her character and discipline and attitude and determination.”

Team B.C. will unite under a common banner for the 2017 North American Indigenous Games (NAIG) in Toronto and the 2017 Canada Summer Games in Winnipeg. While both teams are set to compete under the Team B.C. name, the contingents are traditionally organized separately. This year, a common logo was created by artist Jamin Zuroski to tie the two together and represent “two teams, two worlds, embracing diversity, respect, connection, perseverance, excellence and celebration.”

The design is titled Team B.C. Unite. “We are excited to come together to celebrate the spirit of unity between our two teams as we embark on our respective major Games this summer,” Lara Mussell, Chef de Mission of Team B.C. at NAIG 2017 said in a release. “It is an honour for our athletes to be able to represent British Columbia as a united Team B.C.” The logo features two animals — the raven is the symbol of Team B.C. at NAIG 2017, while the whale represents Team B.C. at the 2017 Canada Summer Games.

It was an advertisement that started Marilyn McLean on the path to four decades of volunteering with the Special Olympics. “I just remember being 19 years old, really interested in becoming a special-education teacher, and there was an advertisement in Yakima, Washington, for a swim coach,” McLean said from her home in Kamloops. “I thought, ‘Well, I could do that.’ “What I really do believe in is seeing the abilities in people. Special Olympics is just populated with the very best people, really striving to do the right thing for the right reason. You get kind of hooked.” McLean has been hooked with Special Olympics in B.C. (SOBC) for 37 years, during which she has served in almost every role the organization has to offer. She was among its founders in B.C., years ago when she moved to the province from the U.S. and nothing of the sort existed. Special Olympics has changed immensely since those days, no longer the unknown organization that once told McLean her athletes couldn’t play basketball, simply because it wasn’t an approved sport. When the 2017 Special Olympics B.C. Summer Games come to Kamloops in July, it will be for the second consecutive provincial games — the city also hosted the 2015 Games — and it will mark the 35th anniversary of Kamloops’ first Special Olympics B.C. Games in 1982. More than 1,600 athletes, coaches and mission staff will invade the Tournament Capital for the event which will take more than 1,000 volunteers to put on. Athletes will compete in 11 sports — fivepin and tenpin bowling, athletics, basketball, bocce, golf, powerlifting, rhyth-

All the participants are vying for the chance to represent B.C. at the 2018 Special Olympics Canada Summer Games in Antigonish, N.S. “It has changed in terms of what people know about the abilities of people that have an intellectual disability,” McLean said. “I think it’s just more commonplace for people to know more about Special Olympics and actually know how very talented some of these athletes are.” Among the most exciting initiatives McLean has seen in her 40 years with Special Olympics are Spread the Word to End the Word and the Healthy Athletes program. Spread the Word to End the Word is an international campaign encouraging people to pledge to stop using the word retard, while the Healthy Athletes program addresses the unique health care needs many people with intellectual disabilities have and their struggles to realize or express health concerns. “Our athletes don’t always have the same access to health care, or aren’t always as supported in getting through the health-care system, as we would like to see,” said Ashten Black,

Healthy Athletes includes a number of screenings for Special Olympics athletes: Fit Feet (podiatry), FUNfitness (physical therapy), Health Promotion (better health and well-being), Healthy Hearing (audiology), Opening Eyes (vision), Special Smiles (dentistry) and Strong Bodies, Strong Minds (mental health). “We’ve seen athletes at our screenings have mouth cancer detected,” Black continued. “We’ve seen our athletes at our Opening Eyes walk away with glasses, free glasses, whereas before they couldn’t see, which really enhanced their ability to do sport and also have more confidence in their day-today activities and to do life.” All together, the Games, which run from July 6 to July 8 across the city, will be a seminal moment for both those visiting and Kamloops’ 30 local athletes. It’s why McLean has stuck around as long as she has. “The athletes across the province are so excited,” the 63-yearold said. “I’ve had the opportunity to speak to some of them through some speaker training courses I do with Special Olympics and they’re so pumped to come to Kamloops because it’s just such a great place to be.”

Kamloops Minor Baseball

BRIEFS

The mosquito AAA Kamloops Riverdogs split a pair of games on the weekend, defeating Salmon Arm 14-8 but losing to Vernon 5-4. The Dogs were led at the plate by Jaxsin Vaughan and Ibrahim Diaou, both of whom were perfect at the plate against Salmon Arm.

Perfect weekend

The Kamloops Riverdogs won their final three games of the peewee tier 1 baseball season on the weekend, finishing the campaign with a near-perfect record of 14-1-1. Kamloops defeated Vernon 12-8 and 13-5 on the weekend, before closing out the season with a 14-6 win over West Kelowna. Parker Robertson was among the leaders for the Dogs, notching six singles, five stolen bases, four RBI and three runs at the plate. He also struck out three pitching in the opener against Vernon.

Salvaging Sunday

The peewee tier 2 Kamloops Riverdogs rallied from a pair of losses on Saturday to defeat West Kelowna 13-8 on Sunday in their final contest of a three-game weekend. The Dogs lost 17-4 and 8-2 against Penticton on Saturday before taking on West Kelowna. Ryan Petrie had a dominant weekend, both at the plate and on the mound. He had a home run and two RBIs in Sunday’s win — he was in of two players, the other Dayton McKelvey, with a home run against West Kelowna. He also struck out five in Kamloops’ 8-2 loss to Penticton.

JOHNSON STRUGGLES ON DAY 1 OF U.S. OPEN, FOWLER EXCELS DOUG FERGUSON

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ERIN, Wis. — Dustin Johnson stood on the back of the ninth green at Erin Hills and stared at a leaderboard filled with red numbers under par. His name was to the right with a black number _ 3-over par. And then the defending U.S. Open champion missed a 10-foot birdie putt to cap a most forgettable 75 that included one birdie, three three-putts and six shots out of the knee-high fescue that frame the generous fairways of Erin Hills. “You won’t get a better day for scoring,’’ Johnson said during the long walk to the scoring area, knowing he had wasted a prime chance in his bid to become the first back-to-back U.S. Open champion in 28 years. Just not for him. For all the time he spent in the hay, Johnson was most irritated with his putter. “I didn’t hit it great,’’ he said. “But I hit it good enough to shoot a good score.’’ It was the highest opening round by a defending U.S. Open champion since Rory McIlroy shot 77 at Olympic Club and missed the cut. Johnson might be headed home early for the second straight week until

he can turn it around. That means making putts. And it means spending more time in the fairway. The most damaging hole was early in his round when Johnson hit iron off the tee on the par-5 14th, only to lay up in grass so thick that a marshal marked it with a tiny flag, and then it was hard to find the flag. Johnson gouged it out, and the ball climbed the collar of a bunker and nestled in more thick grass. He chopped that one out above the ridge of the green and threeputted for double bogey. With an iron on the short par-4 16th, Johnson missed another fairway into the hay and did well to get it to back of the green, only to three-putt that for a bogey. After his lone birdie, another tee shot went into the fescue left of the fairway, and he had to two-putt from 55 feet just to escape with bogey on No. 17. That was his last bogey. He just didn’t make any birdies. “I’m a little frustrated that I shot 3 over,’’ Johnson said. “I didn’t play that bad.

“I just didn’t putt very good.” Johnson wasn’t the only one to struggle in his group. Jordan Spieth also made only one birdie, giving the last two U.S. Open champions a total of two birdies between them on a day when Rickie Fowler opened with a 65 and seven other players broke 70 from the morning wave when the wind was manageable. Spieth had no stress in his round, hitting every fairway and every green on the back nine and putting for birdie through the opening 12 holes. He finally dropped a shot with a strong chip and a missed par putt on No. 4, and then got it trouble in the thick stuff on the next hole. Spieth first went with an 8-iron. He hammered it as hard as he could and looked up toward the sky to see where it went. His caddie, Michael Greller, pointed toward the rough a few feet in front of him. This time, Spieth took a lob wedge and hit that as hard as he could to the collar of rough on the left side of the fairway. He hit that to 5 feet and was happy to make bogey. Just like Johnson, he had his chances. Just like Johnson, he rarely made them. And just like Johnson, he couldn’t ignore the leaderboard. Spieth shot a 73 and was eight shots behind.

Jays pleased with three-day MLB draft GREGORY STRONG

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — From selecting Logan Warmoth at No. 22 overall to the Sean Ross pick some 39 rounds later at No. 1,209, the Toronto Blue Jays took another step in restocking their prospect talent pool at this week’s Major League Baseball Draft. “We’re very pleased with how the last three days unfolded,’’ Blue Jays amateur scouting director Steve Sanders said Thursday. “Again I’m still sort of taking a deep breath in looking back at the 41 selections over the last few days. But all in all, we’re happy with how the draft went and the players we were able to get. “We look forward to getting them signed and out on the field, watching them play (as they) get their professional careers started.’’ The Blue Jays are trying to restore some of their organizational depth after it took a hit in 2015 when then-GM Alex Anthopoulos unloaded several prospects at the trade deadline to make a push for the post-season. The moves paid off as Toronto ended its 22-year playoff drought that year and returned to the American League Championship Series again last year under the guidance of GM Ross Atkins and team president Mark Shapiro.

Building from within is a key priority for the new front office. The Blue Jays went heavy on college players in this year’s draft with only 10 of the 41 picks coming from the high school ranks. After selecting Warmoth, a shortstop from the University of North Carolina, Toronto used a compensation pick from the Cleveland Indians to grab Central Florida pitcher Nate Pearson at No. 28. The Blue Jays capped Day 1 by taking Huntington Beach high school catcher Hagen Danner at No. 61. Toronto picked 22 pitchers, five catchers, seven infielders and seven outfielders over the three-day draft. Notable picks included first baseman Kacy Clemens — son of former pitching great Roger Clemens — in the eighth round at No. 249, and a pair of Canadian selections in Tanner Kirwer of Sherwood Park, Alta., (20th round, No. 609) and Cooper Davis of Mississauga, Ont., (25th round, No. 759). “We feel we’re very well positioned with the Canadian amateur talent base,’’ Sanders said on a conference call. The Blue Jays have had mixed results on the draft front. Starting pitcher Marcus Stroman (No. 22 in 2012) is the biggest name to have come up through the system in recent years.

At long last, Whitecaps move into new training facility JOSH CLIPPERTON

THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — Jordan Harvey could barely hide his smile when the conversation turned to the slick structure beyond the lush soccer pitch over his right shoulder. Carl Robinson, meanwhile, spoke of the hard work coupled with years of disappointment on the road to getting the facility built. The Vancouver Whitecaps finally moved into their glistening new training centre at the University of British Columbia on Wednesday, more than a decade after the club first started plans for a permanent home. “Words can’t describe how meaningful this is to the players, to the staff, to the whole organization,’’

Harvey said earlier this week. “It just raises the expectations, it raises the professionalism. I think you’ll see higher quality because of it. “You have everything you need . . . there are no excuses.’’ A member of the Whitecaps since their first Major League Soccer season in 2011, Harvey is glad he’s still around to see the project completed. “I’m so looking forward to getting in there and getting started,’’ the 33-year-old defender continued. “I’m proud, having been here from the very beginning and going through some of those growing pains

that clubs do — to have withstood those and be here celebrating an organization that has put everything together.’’ It definitely took some time. As part of the franchise’s acceptance into MLS in 2009, the Whitecaps were required by the league to have their own practice facility. They had already been in talks with a couple of communities in Metro Vancouver for a few years by that point and had a deal in place with the city of Delta, B.C., that spring. But that plan fell through before an agreement was eventually reached with UBC in 2012. The provincial government provided $14.5 million in funding for the facility — dubbed the National Soccer Development Centre —

while Whitecaps contributed $15 million, and UBC donated land valued at $3 million for a total cost of $32.5 million. “It’s part of being a proper football club, having the proper facilities,’’ said Robinson, Vancouver’s head coach since late 2013. “When you look at trying to attract players they ask, ‘What’s the training ground like?’’’ The three-story, 38,000 square foot fieldhouse includes a weight room that overlooks the grass training pitches, locker-rooms, a players’ lounge, kitchen, a sports science wing, an area for UBC teams and a media workspace. “It’s top-notch,’’ said Robinson. “I was fortunate enough to play in England for many years at Premier League and Championship clubs and a lot of them didn’t

have that.’’ There are three grass and two turf fields at the facility, while two other artificial surfaces have also been built as part of the project at Simon Fraser University in nearby Burnaby, B.C. The Whitecaps’ second-tier USL team will eventually also move into the building along

with the club’s youth residency program, meaning there will be as many as 140 soccer players under one roof, along with coaching and front office staffs. “We’re very fortunate,’’ said Robinson. “We’ll enjoy it, but it makes you want to work even harder now because you want to be

NHL expansion shuffle in full swing; Drouin traded JONAS SIEGEL

THE CANADIAN PRESS

Team president Glen Sather said Dan Girardi’s contributions to the New York Rangers were “immeasurable’’ as the club announced the impending buyout of his six-year contract. Teams across the league are having to shuffle their decks with buyouts, trades and signings as they prepare for the Las Vegas Golden Knights to poach a player at the first NHL expansion draft in 17 years next week. Clubs have until Saturday morning to submit a limited list of players that Vegas can’t touch. The Rangers would have had to include Girardi in that group had they not exercised a buyout as players with no-move clauses in their contracts must be protected — unless said player agrees to waive that clause as Marc-Andre Fleury did for the Pittsburgh Penguins earlier this season. Dion Phaneuf declined when the Ottawa Senators asked, a complication that forces a dif-

Memories

ficult decision for general manager Pierre Dorion. “It was a man-to-man conversation, it was a good conversation,’’ Dorion said of his talks with Phaneuf on Thursday morning. “It was explained very well to him, our request and why we were making this request.’’ Dorion said the Senators wanted to keep their top two defence pairings intact for next season and therefore, protect Marc Methot and 23-year-old Cody Ceci alongside captain Erik Karlsson. The club felt like it could expose the 32-year-old Phaneuf to Vegas and not risk losing him because of his age and contract — which carries four more years at an annual cap hit of US$7 million. It’s apparent Phaneuf, who has grown comfortable as a Senator, didn’t want to take the risk and Ottawa, barring a trade, will have to expose either Ceci or, more likely, Methot, who turns 32 next week. Teams can only protect either seven forwards, three

defencemen and one goaltender or eight skaters and one goaltender. The Montreal Canadiens took advantage of these limits when they plucked super skilled winger Jonathan Drouin from Tampa in a deal that sent 2016 firstround pick, Mikhail Sergachev, to the Lightning. Tampa can now protect one extra player with Drouin gone, while picking up a promising long-term asset. Teams with veteran cores like Ottawa face more difficult protection decisions than those in say, Toronto. The Maple Leafs don’t have to protect Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner or William Nylander with first and second year pros automatically exempt from selection. Fleury made life easier for the Penguins when he agreed to waive his no-movement clause ahead of the trade deadline. “I thought it was the right thing to help the team, to stay with the team and finish the season here and have a chance to play for the Cup again,’’ Fleury told the Pittsburgh PostGazette.

Choose from hiking — or wine — trails

dd adventures to make the most of those precious days off. Here are some ways in which to add excitement to your holidays in the Kamloops area: • Practise your best Happy Gilmore impression — or maybe it’s better to opt for Rory McIlroy — on one of the many golf courses in the region. From the worldclass Tobiano Golf Course just outside of the city to the charming pitch and putt Pineridge Golf Course in Dallas, there are many fairways from which to choose for every level of golfer. • Explore the Kamloops Wine Trail. Gone are the days when one had to travel to the Okanagan to sample local vinos now that the burgeoning wine region is in our backyard.

Try the famed blueberry wine east of the city at Monte Creek Ranch Winery or opt for some bubbles at Harper’s Trail Estate Winery. Spend the day enjoying wine tastings, sitting on patios and touring the best the area has to offer. Just be sure to secure a safe ride home. • You don’t need to spend money to have fun in Kamloops. The outdoors are a playground thanks to the many trails throughout the rolling hills. Stay in the city for a 360-view in Kenna Cartwright Park or head past Chase to learn about historic logging practices on the Upper Flume Trail. One is only limited by the hands on their watch, with endless opportunities to climb elevation. • If you want to head outside but avoid the vigorous activity, consider outdoor theatre. Chimera Theatre will

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Irene passed away peacefully on June 8, 2017 with the loving support of family and dear friends. She is deeply missed by all that had the pleasure of knowing her. Irene was predeceased by her husband and best friend Alexander (Alistair) in 1989 after sharing an adventurous 37 years of marriage. Alistair’s fatal heart attack eliminated the possibility of a long and happy retirement that they had planned together. Irene and Alistair are survived by their only child Deborah (Kelvin Stretch), granddaughter Jennifer (Aaron) and two greatgrandchildren Kennedy and Jasper as well as Irene’s grand dog Isabella. She is also loved and missed by her only sister Sheila (Charlie passed) who resides in a care home in Perth, Scotland. Irene was born in Perth, Scotland as the second daughter of John and Molly Whytock. She grew up in Perth meeting the love of her life Alistair whom she married on November 29, 1952. Within a week of being married, Irene and Alistair travelled 6,000 miles by ship to Cape Town, South Africa where they spent 24 years in South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe with Deborah, born in Luanshya, Zambia (the copper belt) joining the adventure in 1959. In 1977 the family immigrated to Canada with Alistair working at Lornex (now HVC) until three months prior to his pending retirement date when he died of a heart attack on October 20, 1989. Irene and Alistair were inseparable enjoying travel, golf, fly fishing and reading. After Alistair’s passing, Deborah married Kelvin Stretch in 1992 and the three (Irene, Debbie and Kelvin) shared the next 25 years together as a very close family. In 2003, Irene was diagnosed with first

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.

stages of Alzheimer’s. Irene, Debbie and Kelvin purchased a home together so Debbie could assist with the day-today care of her mother. In 2007, Irene required residential care and she spent one year at Ponderosa and almost ten years at the Kamloops Seniors Village (KSV) where she passed away. Deborah is grateful for the loving care Irene received during her years at KSV, especially all her wonderful LPNs and Care Aids who treated her as family. Debbie would know firsthand about her mother’s care as she visited almost every day over the 10 year period. Although Irene had Alzheimer’s, she could carry on a conversation, laugh at a good joke (even some bad ones) and recognized Debbie, Kelvin and her grand dog Isabella whenever they visited. A special thank you to Irene’s friends for visiting her and sharing fond memories of days gone by. To name a few: Janette, Pat, Ines, Arlene and Irene and Debbie’s good friend Louise. Also, a special thank you to Dr. Wynne for looking after Irene while she was at KSV. As per Irene’s wishes there will be no Funeral Service. A Celebration of Irene’s Life will be held this Saturday, June 17, 2017 at Earls Kitchen & Bar on the patio from 2:00 pm until 4:30 pm. Earls was Irene’s favorite restaurant.

The More You Give

Carmen maintained a positive outlook to the end of his brave battle with leukemia.

Carmen lived his life to the fullest, traveling more than most people, celebrated a 24-year wedding anniversary and two careers. (Red Seal Chef and a Professional driver.) Carmen leaves behind the love of his life Kathleen (Coburn), his parents Nestor and Gloria, brother Carl (Kassidy), sisters Sherri (Walter) and Simone (Daryl), brother-in-law Michael (Kristina), niece Brittny, nephews Robert, Derek and Theodore.

He will also be sadly missed by his many friends and family. For their caring support, we thank the teams of Doctor’s, Nurses, staff both in Vancouver General Hospital and Victoria Royal Jubilee Hospital. As per Carmen‘s request, there will be no formal service.

The more you give, The more you get, The less you fret. The more you do unselfishly. The more you live abundantly. The more of everything you share, The more you’ll always have to spare. The more you love, the more you’ll find, That life is good and friends are kind. For only what we give away,

Family and friends can raise a glass to his memory.

Enriches us from day to day.

Camren has also requested that everyone support the Canadian Blood Services.

In Memory of Ralph Lee Frisk

October 29, 1940 June 17, 2012

The family thanks the many people who cared for her, particularly the staff and friends at Berwick on the Park (Kamloops) who made her stay of three years there and end-of-life care feel like home. No formal service by request. Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

MARY LEE HALL

If I should die and leave you here a while, be not like others sore undone, who keep long vigil by the silent dust.

Margaret was predeceased by husband David “Dai” T. Brown in 1990 and loving companion Don Tully in 2014. Mom was born and raised in Edmonton and taught school in Northern Alberta. As the spouse of an engineer the family lived in many of Canada’s major cities, with mom “holding down the fort” while her husband was away. In her youth, she was athletic, was a life-long reader and was quick to connect with people and make them laugh, even at the end.

TURN AGAIN TO LIFE

For my sake turn again to life and smile,

Deeply missed and lovingly remembered by his son Kurt Lee Frisk, his family and his many friends.

“Life’s is too short” (RLF)

nerving thy heart and trembling hand to do something to comfort other hearts than thine. Complete these dear unfinished tasks of mine and I perchance may therein comfort you.

Q. Can part of Murray go back to Scotland?

Rosemarie met the love of her life Gus and they spent 43 years of marriage together. She’ll be remembered as a chef at the Plaza Hotel in Kamloops for many years.

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